A bill aimed at bringing affordable higher education options to Oregon students has passed in the house.
House bill 3341 would change the process colleges and universities go through when adding new programs. Currently, community colleges and universities must get permission from for-profit career colleges in the area to prevent overlap of programs.
The bill will now head to the senate for approval.

Unique gift ideas for women featured in area shopsWritten by Kristen Criswell | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Local shopping offers unique gifts for the women in your life. Whether you need a gift for a friend, sister, girlfriend, mother or a wife, Northwest Ohio stores provide gift options for all.
"[Shopping local] helps the small businesses and your local community," said Kelly Heuss, co-owner of Puttin' on the Glitz. "You're not going to find the things that are in your small boutiques and your small local stores in the big chain stores. It's going to be completely unique stuff that other people aren't going to find."
Puttin' on the Glitz
Puttin' on the Glitz offers many unique and sassy items for women to share with their girlfriends. The store carries drink mixes in a bag, cheeky cookbooks, as well as wine glasses and Woozies, wine koozies, with fun sayings on them.
"We try very hard to find things that are unique that no one else has in the area," Heuss said. "We want really high-quality gifts that are the right price. A lot of the things we carry you won't see anyplace else."
Outside the bridal items and Miche Bags, prices in the store range from $5 to $50, Heuss said.
Puttin' on the Glitz offers an opportunity for customers to register for holiday gifts. An individual can go online, download a gift registry and fill it out. Registries that are e-mailed back will be kept in a binder at the store.
In addition, Puttin' on the Glitz is offering a special guys' night for men to do their holiday shopping. The store will have tailgate food as well as male-friendly music and a guys' atmosphere.
"We're doing a guys' night because generally the guys make it as far as the pink chair when they come in the store. So, once the women make out their wish list, the guys can come in shop together," Heuss said.
Miche Bags allow individuals to change their purses style at will, Heuss said. The base purse is basic black, with different magnetic option designs for the outside.
By unsnapping one design another can be substituted in a matter of seconds.
The bags come in different sizes and Puttin' on the Glitz offers deals for the more shells purchased. Prices range from $34.95 to $39 for base bags and $24.95 and up for shells.
Similar to beaded bracelets such as Pandora or Trollbeads, DaVinci and Bauble Lulu Beads are much less expensive, Heuss said. Beads for DaVinci and Bauble Lulu are just $6.99. Bauble Lulu beads can also be placed on necklaces, earrings and rings in addition to bracelets.
Puttin' on the Glitz is located at 120 W. South Boundary. For more information and store hours, visit www.puttinontheglitzstore.com.
Swank Gifts
When buying gifts for girlfriends, the most fun thing you can give them is something they'd love, but may not buy themselves, said Julie Hartten, owner of Swank Gifts.
"It may not be something they'd use every day. Maybe it's a little bit pricey. Or it's something that might sit in the closet for most of the year, but the time that they get it out they really love it," Hartten said.
Swank Gifts offers a number of items for women including jewelry, purses and decorative items as well as toys and stuffed animals for kids. The shop also carries local artists' artwork, such as 3-D pieces, paintings, photography and jewelry.
"We have a gal who does acrylic necklaces for us and they start at $22. No one will ever have another piece like it. Something from someone that's made locally is nice as opposed to something made in China," Hartten said.
Some popular trends this year for women are two-tone necklaces and earrings, pearls and hot pink, Hartten said.
Swank Gifts offers free gift wrapping and free delivery in Downtown Toledo. Gift certificates are also available for purchase.
"We really try to be a service provider for those who work Downtown," Hartten said.
Most prices in the store aren't more than $50, Hartten said.
Eternity scarves have been extremely popular this year, Hartten said. The one-piece scarf can be worn in three ways. Individuals can also add different pins to the scarves to dress them up. Scarves are $22.99.
New shoe-shaped wine accessories are a fun gift for wine lovers and something someone might not normally buy themselves, Hartten said. Different high heel shoes that hold a wine bottle upright are $29.99. Shoe-shaped wine stoppers are $12.99.
Swank Gifts is located at 48 S. Saint Clair St. The store is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Lily's at Levis
Lily's at Levis offers "inspiration for the home and garden," with a large selection of items.
"People come in probably to feel good," said owner Judy Church. "They like to come in because they just enjoy the atmosphere and because we're always changing stuff up."
The store carries stock that varies from candles, jewelry and wall hangings to planters and gazing balls. For the holidays Lily's carries a number of different ornaments, home decorations and tin snowmen for outside.
"We have such a large selection of unique items. So many shops don't offer this large of a selection from modern to traditional. It's something for everyone. You can get gifts for all girlfriends at once," Church said.
The boutique carries gifts for all price ranges, with items starting at $5 and up. In addition to merchandise, Lily's offers complimentary gift wrapping and gift certificates.
Lily's is also happy to assist any men who are searching for gifts for their significant others.
"We have the pulse of what the women like. If they ask we can help guide them to the perfect gift," Church said.
The most popular item at Lily's is its candles, Church said. The store has carried the candles for nine years and it's the most common item it ships out. All candles come in a glass container and are $18. Candle scents include the most popular "It Must be Christmas" (100 percent pine smell), "Sleigh Ride" (a walk in the woods smell) and "Warm and Cozy" (scent with a cinnamon flair).
Another popular gift at Lily's is its jewelry boxes, Church said. The boxes vary in size with multiple compartments for earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Each box is painted with unique colors. The jewelry boxes are $45, $55 and $60, depending on size.
Lily's is located at 2110 Levis Commons Blvd, and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information about the store, visit lilysatlevis.com.

Earlier today while the East Coast was raiding convenience stores to stock up for Hurricane Sandy's after-effects, Joe Belfiore was showing the final features of Windows Phone 8. At a West Coast announcement, Belfiore took stage in front of the press to talk about how Windows Phone 8 enhances users' lives. The event from Microsoft comes after 3 other Windows Phone 8 events held by OEM partners Samsung, Nokia & HTC. At Nokia's event, Joe Belfiore showed some of the new features. And he promised some more.
Unfortunately for those tech enthusiasts who have been following Windows Phone developments, they already knew about what Microsoft showed today. That aside, Joe Belfiore's event was aimed at showing features that affect the regular users' daily life. And for this, Joe Belfiore, a father and family-man, had his kids on stage. With three kids who like to play on their parents' devices, Joe Belfiore eloquently demonstrated how Kids Corner is a feature for normal/regular users. Go under settings and select games, videos, apps & music that your younger ones can use and that's what they get. As an elder sibling, I can relate to this feature. Belfiore's demo had his kids that added a touch of genuineness to the feature. It was personal experience of a father.
The other feature that was spent considerable time on was Data Sense. I've elaborated on the feature and it's usefulness but Belfiore had a compelling narrative. In addition to Microsoft's Opera-mobile like page optimization backend, Belfiore explained how the architecture reduced 45% data consumption, something that Data Sense helps track. Unfortunately, at launch, Verizon is the only carrier enabling this feature. Not AT&T; so I have some expletives for the carrier. As someone who has the limit of 200MB, Data Sense built-into the phone would definitely be a handy app.
The third Windows Phone 8 feature we knew little about, except the leak, is Live Lock Screen. Introduced with Windows Phone 7, users could use their Now-Playing Zune artist as their background. For Windows Phone 8, Belfiore explained how the lock screen is the most viewed screen, and having a static image was just a waste of real estate. Welcome Live Lock Screen. Have Groupon show the latest local deal or Facebook show pictures from your album and calendar invites, Windows Phone 8's lock screen is now filled with information you want. Once again, Belfiore sold the feature as something we didn't miss till he talked about.
The feature that I personally find the most interesting and useful is Rooms. Windows Phone 7 had Groups under the People hub but besides seeing social updates from members, it was pretty useless. In Windows Phone 8, Groups have become Rooms and have several useful features. As a family member I have some notes for my family; as a group member, I have some notes I want to share with my co-workers; Microsoft has OneNote; putting all of this together, Rooms lets you share your current location, chat and share a OneNote notebook with the group/room members. It's another feature that we all didn't miss till we knew it existed. If sharing Office documents with co-workers for collaboration was useful, imagine a pre-configured, synced OneNote notebook for every group.
Joe Belfiore then brought on Jessica Alba to talk about Windows Phone 8. A mother herself, Jessica Alba's endorsement for the phone will catch the attention of regular users, the ones that this event was meant for. It was the normal user in everyone who attended and saw the event. It wasn't for the tech enthusiast in us, it was for the human in us.

Final Stats | Watch Full Match Replay | Photo Gallery
ATHENS, Ga. - The University of Georgia volleyball team completed a weekend, Southeastern Conference sweep with a 3-2 (20-25, 25-22, 23-25, 25-9, 15-10) win over the Ole Miss Rebels on Sunday afternoon at the Ramsey Student Center. With the win, the Bulldogs improved to 11-7 on the season, including a 5-4 mark in the SEC. The Rebels drop to 8-9 overall 2-6 in league play.
Five Bulldogs were in double figure kills, with Briana Bahr leading the way with 14 kills. Jasmine Eatmon finished with 11 kills on 11-for-24 hitting. Elena Perri, Tirah Le'au and Brittany Northcutt each added 10 kills in the win. Kaylee Kehoe paced the offense with a season-best 37 assists. Defensively, Bahr led the way with six blocks, including one solo stop. Eatmon added five blocks, while Perri finished with three. Northcutt added 10 digs for her sixth double-double of the season, while Allison Summers led the match with a career-high 33 digs.
"I thought our team today came out a little bit slow, but as we got more into the match, we started executing our game plan," head coach Lizzy Stemke said. "Serving became a huge factor for us to gain momentum, and anytime you win a fifth set in the SEC, it's a hard fight. We did a really nice job today, and that's a big win for us at this point in the season to fight back like that. We're really excited as a team. We'll celebrate for a second but then start getting ready for our mid-week matchup against Georgia Tech."
After dropping the first set 25-20, the Bulldogs raced out to an 8-3 lead in the second set. Ole Miss scored five straight to tie the set at 11. The teams tied at 12 and 13 before the Rebels scored consecutive points to take a 15-13 lead and force Georgia to use a timeout. Following the break, a pair of Bahr kills sparked a 4-0 run that put Georgia on top 17-15. Ole Miss tied the set at 17 with a kill by Ty Laporte, but the Bulldogs answered with three-straight points to retake the lead at 20-17. Ole Miss fought back with three unanswered points to tie the set at 22. A Northcutt kill sparked a 3-0 run that ended the set with Georgia on top 25-22.
The teams kept it close in the third set, but Rebels ultimately came away with the 25-23 win. Trailing the match 2-1, the Bulldogs came out firing in the fourth setting, racing out to a 14-3 lead behind the serve of Summers. During the run, Le'au and Eatmon each tallied two kills and Summers picked up a service ace. Leading 15-6, a Le'au kill ignited a 4-0 run that extended Georgia's lead to 19-6. Georgia ended the set on a 5-0 run that included kills by Stacey Smith, Kehoe and Northcutt and a block by Perri and Bahr.
The Bulldogs carried the momentum into the fifth and final set, hitting at a .375 clip in the final set. Georgia used strong serves by Kehoe and Summers to jump out to a 9-4 lead. Ole Miss cut the lead to four at 10-6, but a Smith kill ended the Rebel rally. A Northcutt kill made it a 13-8 set and forced the Rebels to use their final timeout of the set. Bahr scored two of the final four points to seal the set 15-10 and give Georgia its third win in four matches.
Georgia gets back in action on Tuesday, Oct. 16 when it steps out of conference to take on in-state rival Georgia Tech at 7 p.m., in Stegeman Coliseum. Fans are encouraged to get to the match early, as the first 1,000 people through the door will receive free "Wreck Tech" shirts. UGA students will also receive free pizza and will be entered into a drawing for a free Kindle Fire. Admission is free.

Dear Prof . Sachs,
Firstly, many thanks for a thought-provoking speech on Friday in Mumbai.
As an Englishman working for Dow Jones/The Wall Street Journal it was self-revelatory to hear—according to your world-view—that the British Empire and News Corp. (which owns The Wall Street Journal) are among the root causes of the earth's ills.
Alas, we shall disagree about much, but comity is precious, so here at least is where we agree: Huge economic inequality in society is negative and bailing out financial institutions (public or private) that rack up huge losses due to reckless decisions without demanding that those who made those choices are held accountable is poor policy.

Stories of interest you might have missed
Phil Mickelson is looking ahead, not to the Barclays, not to the FedEx Cup playoffs, but to 2015. "Work on my fitness, work on my golf game and really focus on 2015. Because 2015 is when the points start accumulating really for the (2016) Olympics," he said in this story by the Newark Star-Ledger's Brendan Prunty.
Bubba Watson is attempting to make amends for his boorish behavior at the PGA Championship. "After he said he acted like a child during the PGA Championship, Bubba Watson has been trying to man up ever since," Steve Dimeglio writes in USA Today.
Ridgewood Country Club's history began, more or less, when its assistant professional Byron Nelson, on a challenge, hit a flagpole on his second attempt. The year was 1935, the same year the Ryder Cup was played at the Paramus, N.J., club. Andy Vasquez of the Record looks at Ridgewood's history, to which it will add by hosting the Barclays this week.
The LPGA is leaving the Rochester area, ending a 38-year run that has produced several send-offs. The New York Times has another. "The area is losing more than one tournament. It is losing almost four decades as a spot on the LPGA schedule," writes Matt Higgins. The consensus opinion is that LPGA players hope to return one day."Most cities we go through, they don't even know we're in town sometimes," Brittany Lincicome added. "So this community really comes together and loves the LPGA, and I would love to come back."
Is the spate of injuries that have plagued PGA Tour players of late just coincidence or is there more at play here? "The question you have to ask," U.S. Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson said, "is whether the workout ethic of players today is causing these injuries." John Paul Newport of the Wall Street Journal has the story.

What should the new hospital at Southmead be called?
Posted: January 11, 2013|
STAFF who had their say on the name for the new Southmead Hospital have put forward their cases for the different options.
As reported in The Post, North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT), which runs the hospital, wants the public to share their views on whether there should be a new name for the super-hospital, which is due to open next year.
As services from Frenchay and Southmead hospitals are brought together on the one site, chief executive Marie-Noelle Orzel said it was the opportune time to reconsider whether there should be a name change.
Hundreds of employees submitted their ideas for the £430 million hospital's name and along with keeping Southmead they suggested naming it Bristol Brunel, Elizabeth Blackwell or Prince William hospital.
Related content
Head of information governance at NBT Helen Williamson whose family moved to Southmead Road in 1967 in a house then owned by the hospital, believes its name should stay.
"Southmead and Southmead Hospital have proudly been part of Bristol's heritage and community for over 100 years, from its humble beginnings as a workhouse to the nationally and internationally renowned hospital leading the way in many specialist services and medical technologies we know today," she said.
"Southmead Hospital grounds became my community, world and playground but what I remember most is the family community spirit that existed in and around Southmead Hospital, which still exists today."
Clinical nurse specialist and sexual health adviser Kieran Sharkey believes Isambard Kingdom Brunel should be acknowledged in the new hospital's name.
"I believe that Brunel is a great name for the hospital," he said. "Brunel was an inspirational engineer and architect responsible for many of the landmarks that Bristol is famous for including the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Temple Meads, ss Great Britain and the Great Western Railway.
"He was considered a forward thinker and ahead of his time; two important elements shared with the new hospital.
"It would therefore be a fitting testament that the hospital be named after Brunel, both as a tribute to him and a reminder that the healthcare staff strive for the best patient care through innovation."
Elizabeth Blackwell, who was born and grew up in Bristol, was the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States, as well as the first woman on the UK medical register and was a pioneer in promoting the education of women in medicine in the United States, and a social and moral reformer in both the United States and in England.
Radiographer Keegan Streeter said: "I feel quite strongly that the hospital be given a unique identity that can be related to both Bristol and its residents. Naming the hospital after someone who dedicated their life to medicine and who achieved so much in the medical field seems quite fitting, especially as Elizabeth Blackwell herself was a Bristolian."
Doreen Rapson, secretary for the trust's health and safety team believes the hospital should be named after Prince William.
"To me William like his mother before him cares a lot about people, poor, rich, old, young, it doesn't really matter," she said.
"If there is help or support needed I think he would help, why, because he is such a caring person.
"This is what I relate to our own trust where caring for the patients is the most important factor."
To name the hospital after Prince William would require approval by the Lord Lieutenant's office.

Flesher Ranch Christmas lights
There are more than a dozen holiday floats and other yard art placed on the Flesher ranch this year. The Flesher family have also put up Christmas lights, this year's estimate being more than a million of them. It has been a tradition for the family since 1986. The Fleshers briefly stopped putting up the lights three years ago after a family member became ill, but this year re-started the tradition.

An analytical look at the 2011-12 Northwestern Wildcats:
Reason to believe: Before he endured multiple injuries last season that diminished his effectiveness, forward John Shurna ranked with the nation's best and most productive players. When he's all in one piece, he is a proficient, efficient scorer with 3-point range and a tenacity that serves him well as a finisher inside.
Shurna can't carry a team to the Final Four, but perhaps he can deliver one to the NCAA Tournament. The players surrounding him, including guard Drew Crawford and wing JerShon Cobb, give NU adequate athleticism, which hasn't always been the case with this program. An array of 3-point shooters gives the Wildcats the ability to shoot more talented opponents out of games; they hit nearly 10 per game last season.
Reason to worry: All you need is one glance at the NCAA Final Four record book. (Or should we say "record disk," since it's no longer on paper.) There's no mention of Northwestern, still the only current member of a BCS conference to never make an NCAA Tournament appearance. But history won't keep NU out. What could is a defense that was dreadful in many ways last season, allowing opponents to shoot 46.8 percent from the field. Playing primarily zone, the Wildcats forced enough turnovers to finish plus-2.7 on average, but they must be more difficult to score upon if they're to break through.
Impact newcomer: Freshman guard Tre Demps is not going to make fans forget Juice Thompson—at least not immediately, and perhaps not at all this season depending on how Demps recovers from an offseason shoulder injury. At one point, it appeared that would require surgery and delay his freshman season by a year. If healthy, Demps is a strong guard who can attack from either backcourt position and brings along a deep background in the game. His father, Dell, was an NBA player and now serves as G.M. of the New Orleans Hornets.
The big game: Some have criticized Northwestern's schedule, which seems a bit specious given the pending road trips to Georgia Tech and Creighton and a full slate of Big Ten games. But the big target for the Wildcats will be their Dec. 4 home game against Baylor, No. 9 in the Sporting News College Basketball yearbook. Baylor is overwhelmingly talented, with sophomore Perry Jones and freshman Quincy Miller both future first-round picks, but playing the Bears at home early could be an advantage because NU's Princeton-based offense and zone defense are atypical and more likely to cause confusion for a team that's in the building process.
There will be plenty of opportunities for the Wildcats to earn quality victories in Big Ten play, but it will be interesting to see what develops if they're still trying to lock up an NCAA bid when Ohio State visits Evanston on Feb. 29. Northwestern came within inches of beating the Buckeyes twice last season – when OSU was more experienced and possibly more talented.

The Fig Tree Fruit Market, a kosher produce store, will soon open on the corner of Myrtle and Walworth. "There really aren't any decent produce markets in the area, so I believe that this place should do some decent business," writes the Bed-Stuy Blog. An eagle-eyed commenter points out that Fig Tree misspelled its own address on the awning it should be Myrtle Ave., not Mytle. Whoops. Let's hope the fruits and vegetables are in better shape.

Scenery & Superb Cuisine on British Columbia's Undiscovered Isles
Out here at the edge of the continent, the pleasures are simple: a walk on a wild driftwood-strewn beach. Hilltop panoramas of labyrinthine channels and rugged sandstone outcrops glimmering in the sun. The most delicious smoked salmon you've ever tasted. And while boutique wineries, art galleries and farm-to-table eateries are also part of the daily scene, you won't have to hike, pedal or paddle far to imagine you've landed in a secret place. Where it's just you and the black-tailed deer, under the radar with space to spare.
Days 1-2 Urban, rural and wilderness scenery greets you on the Galloping Goose Trail, a bike path tracing a 1920s railway route Relish inspiring views of the Saanich Inlet en route to Brentwood Bay Cruise "Vancouver Island's Most Beautiful Shortcut" aboard the Mill Bay ferry Pedal past rustic farms and vineyards in bucolic Cowichan Valley, one of Vancouver Island's best-kept secrets The mild microclimate here yields more sunny days than anywhere else in Canada! Set a leisurely pace, stopping along the way at small wineries and roadside produce stands.
Days 3-4 Journey across the water to Salt Spring Island, "the coolest island in Canada" according to the Washington Post Set out for an undulating ride past island cottages, forested hillsides and green farmland on your way to our elegant hotel A climb up Mount Erskine takes you to the best viewpoint on the island, with sweeping vistas over the Gulf Islands Explore unique art galleries and whimsical shops in the town of Ganges.
Days 5-6 Watch for porpoises, sea lions and—if we're lucky—whales as we travel by water taxi to Galiano Island On Galiano, the second-largest of the Gulf Islands, pedal rolling roads past rugged shoreline and swaths of forest interspersed with eclectic galleries and art studios Play hide-and-seek with harbor seals as you kayak the calm cobalt waters of Trincomali Channel Hike all the way from cool temperate rain forest to a lookout point on Mount Galiano for stretch-forever vistas of the surrounding islands.

Classical and contemporary art, literary masterpieces, entrepreneurial engineering, religious symbolism, and the foundations of modern science are all secreted in this miscellany. This book explores ...
