This final report from the Regional Migration Study Group outlines the powerful demographic, economic, and social forces reshaping Mexico and Central America and changing longstanding migration dynamics with the United States. It offers a forward-looking, pragmatic agenda for the region, focusing on new collaborative approaches on migration and human-capital development to strengthen regional competitiveness.
Focusing on the health care and engineering sectors, this report examines the formal and informal barriers to professional practice that foreign-trained professionals encounter when they migrate to the United States.
This issue brief provides updated data, based on the Census Bureau's 2011 American Community Survey, on unauthorized immigrants in the United States, their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, and their health care coverage. The analysis marks the first time that self-reported data on LPR status have been used to generate a national profile of unauthorized immigrants.
This fact sheet compares key components of immigration reform outlined in the 2013 Senate immigration bill against provisions included in bills considered by the Senate in 2006 and 2007: border security, detention, and enforcement; worksite enforcement; visa reforms; earned legalization of unauthorized immigrants; strengthening the U.S. economy and workforce; and integration of new Americans.
MPIhas completed an analysis of the major provisions in the 2013 framework, comparing them to provisions of the legislation the Senate considered in 2006 and 2007.
MPI's President, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and the Editor-in-Chief of The American Prospect, Kit Rachlis, engage in a lively Google Hangout discussion about the policies and politics that have created the United States' antiquated, inflexible immigration system and how to create a modern-day, flexible immigration system suited for the competitiveness of the 21st century.
This discussion covers some of the most difficult issues that must be addressed if the United States is to reform its immigration system in ways that work not only for today's reality but tomorrow's future.
This report examines why Spain, one of the countries hit hardest by the economic crisis with some of Europe's highest levels of unemployment, has not seen a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. The report describes how the government and general populace have responded to immigration before and after the onset of the economic crisis, and highlights possible reasons for Spain's exceptional openness.

I was wearing one of my kilts at Science Online yesterday. This is still unusual enough for a guy to wear that you get questions about it. Questions like, "Are you Scottish?" (No.)
I told a few people the story of why I got myself a kilt. I decided that I was going to get one as a present to myself for getting tenure. The first time I wore it was my first full day as a tenured associate professor. I'd told one of my students that this was my plan a week or two in advance. She showed up in my office on the first of the month saying, "Let's see it.' I stood up, and she said, '... I didn't think you'd actually do it.'
Getting tenure is supposed to afford you a certain amount of protection to make unpopular or unusual decisions. I got myself a kilt to remind myself to be fearless.
Because a man in a kilt fears nothing.

gluten free
Growing up, I never had any issues with food. I could eat anything, never get sick, and go on with my life. In fact, I did just that – I ate the typical SAD (standard American diet) full of processed  and fast foods. During college, I started to have stomach problems after I ate certain foods. I really didn't think much of it, but just figured it was the stress of college.
After I graduated in 2009, I moved back in with my parents. Around this time, in 2009-2010, I started having getting sick from different foods I was eating. It was really difficult to pinpoint just what was causing this distress, and I didn't really look into it too much until November of 2010. At this time, I was bloated, getting migraines every day, had a rash all over my body, and was experiencing joint pain and emotional symptoms (irritable, etc.). I started to keep a food journal with the foods I was eating, how I felt after I ate foods, but wasn't exactly sure what was causing the problem. I finally went and saw a holistic doctor who completed some tests and came to the conclusion that I am gluten and corn intolerant.
Going gluten free was one of the most challenging things I ever did to be perfectly honest with you. I won't lie and say it was incredibly easy. It wasn't until I became educated on what gluten was and what gluten is in did I finally start to get a hold on the gluten free lifestyle. It took me some time and I had to take baby steps in order to figure out what I could and couldn't have. I didn't go gluten free and the next day have the knowledge on how to bake a loaf of gluten free bread – it was NOTHING like that. It is a learning curve and the lifestyle is a lot of take a hold of. With that being said, it is quite manageable if it has to be done. In fact, most whole foods ARE gluten free! By focusing on real, whole foods, I was able to go gluten free with a bit more ease.
I never got blood tested to see if I had Celiac Disease. In order to do this, I would have had to eat gluten for a long period of time in order for the test to be accurate — this never sounded appealing to me at all! I eliminated the gluten and corn out o f my diet, and it has made a WORLD of difference. I no longer experience those GI symptoms, my migraines disappeared (within a few days!), and I now only get rashes if I happen to "get glutened". I also avoid most dairy, as my body really does not enjoy milk or cheese products.
Some great resource for gluten free information are the following:
Please remember that I am not a health professional and am not recommending you go gluten free if you don't have to. Please see your health care provider if you suspect a gluten intolerance/allergy.

Hi Chelsey! Anna at The Guiltless Life recommended your blog to me because I just recently found out I was allergic to corn and wheat (not gluten, but I'm finding gluten free is pretty much my boat). I'm excited to go through your recipes and try some of them. I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment. It seems like EVERYTHING has either corn or wheat in it! I'm also what I'm calling "mostly vegan," (I haven't eaten meat since I was 11, but the eggs and cheese have been hanging me up) although since I found out about the corn and wheat, I'm not stressing about that as much as I'm just trying to find stuff to eat every day! Anyway, just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm excited about your blog! I need all the help I can get!

I think I need a little advice. My 6 year old son has been advised to go gluten free, dairy free, peanut free, and red meat free by his holistic doctor. So basically he is about 4 days out the week a vegan. The rest of the days he can eat seafood and poultry. By the way, he has polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. He has been showing progress since the diet. The doctor also told me to keep a food diary which I did diligently for 3 months. I don't anymore. I find it hard! How did you do it? Any tips? It would nice if we could pinpoint to the exact food sensitivities if only I can be more disciplined in keeping a food diary going. Love your site! And thank you.

I feel your pain! I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease for 5 years. Maintaing a gluten free diet is hard but in the long run i have seen so many benefits!
- August 17, 2012 at 4:38 am
Hey Chelsey, I came here … I don't even know how… but I'm glad I did! You have a wonderful blog! I've got a blog myself but I haven't had much time lately to stay up to date – finally I made some time to look around and I love what I've found here!
I've been living gluten free since birth, I can imagine it's quite a shock to hear you have Celiac's after such a long time of eating a "normal" diet. But even though I've had a strict diet all my life, it's still hard at times! + I tend to feel "abnormal", so it's great to read about other people's stories and share our own I think Have a great day! Leanne

I found your blog through Pinterest and I am LOVING IT!! I have bookmarked the majority of your recipes! You have no idea how excited I am!
I try to eat mostly GF because I have a wheat sensitivity. I am also a vegetarian who avoids dairy products because my body hates me if I consume them!
I grew up in the NW suburbs of Chicago (recently moved to California) and I am also 24 and a teacher (well…looking for a teaching job, ha). We have so much in common!
- October 7, 2012 at 8:00 am
Hi, I am curious if EVERYTHING here is gluten free AND clean? I am trying to figure out this "clean eating" thing and and GF too.
Any tips on getting started are appreciated!

Hello! I just wanted to tell you, that your website makes a huge difference and gives me so much insight! I started my GI tract journey 2 years ago this month…(October)
I had severe pain in my stomach for a few months, when one day it was just too much to bear. I ended up going to the ER, where they diagnosed me with a UTI and sent me on my way. I kept having "flare ups" and could not pinpoint what was going on.
After a trip to a GI specialist and a colonoscopy, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and given no information on how to deal with it, mentally or physically. I seeked a second opinion and was undiagnosed with Crohn's. After SEVERAL procedures, I was referred to over 10 physicians. None could find out what was wrong with me. It was suggested that I may have endometriosis, so I had a laparoscopy done last year in November. Which, by the way, when you're suffering with stomach pain and being poked and prodded, it's NOT FUN! It was actually absolutely miserable.
The lap showed nothing. I was devastated. Not being diagnosed is extremely difficult to deal with mentally, let alone physically being in pain.
A month later, I was in the hospital with bilateral pulmonary emboli. I had blood clots all over my lungs. This is due to neglect from my doctors. I almost died.
After that and almost a year later, I stopped seeking for a diagnoses. I decided to "Let food be thy medicine," and decided to go gluten free. After that, I cut out dairy…and finally, meat. I still eat eggs, as I don't consider them to be a meat. I feel MUCH better, although I still do have some bad days here and there.
I have been gluten free and vegan for about 7+ months. I'm hoping I can continue this and maybe one day learn what is wrong with my body, but until then, I'll continue to eat the awesome oatmeal in the mornings and I can't wait to try more recipes!
It's not like I want to eat this way! I love pies and cheeseburgers and tacos! They just have to be made a little bit different now.
Thank you for your insight. And giving people hope that have had similar problems. We are not alone!
- October 19, 2012 at 7:16 am
Hey, Chardonnay,
I have learned through dealing with chronic pain, thyroid and gut issues and all that comes with that that most MDs are taught to treat symptoms with prescription drugs and to order tests that look for disease. If there is no disease to be found, they are at a loss. I have gained much insight and help through my naturopath, who practices Applied Kinesiology. I would suggest you seek a naturopath ie one who practices functional medicine. They don't just treat symptoms and search for disease, rather they try to connect all the dots, looking at the physical, mental, and emotional components/symptoms and get to the root of the issues you are having. You might look for one that practices applied Kinesiology. I've found it to be quite helpful in getting to the bottom of all my issues.

I'm so glad I found your blog! Clean eating and Gluten Free!! Just what I love! My son is gluten intolerant. We found out a year ago when he as just 2 years old! So we are a gluten free house! I also used to get migraines all the time but once we started eating GF they have gone away!!
- November 13, 2012 at 12:37 pm
Hi Chelsey – very glad to have stumbled across your blog. Balancing gluten-free and healthy living can be tough, so I always enjoy finding other bloggers that are experiencing the same challenges as me and picking up great tips along the way! What you said is so true…discovering your have a gluten allergy and how to navigate it can be SO tough. It's not something you just pick up one day and you're golden. There's a huge learning curve with it, but it CAN be done. Congrats on finding a balance with gluten-free & clean eating
- November 24, 2012 at 2:05 pm
I'm so glad I found your blog!! I'm currently having some issues after eating (swollen toes, very upset stomach, etc.). I think I have found these issues to be present when I eat bread, wheat, or sugar– so i'm not sure if its the carbs in general or gluten. Either way, i'm very glad I found this blog!!
- December 15, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Hi Chelsey! I just want to say you go girl! I only found your blog recently when I did a google or bing search for gluten free vegan recipes. I have only tried one recipe here so far but I so enjoy looking through them and can't wait to try out many more. I enjoy the humor you include here and there as well as your sharing your passion for exercise. So many of us can use that as inspiration to get going a little more. I have a definite passion for learning more and more about eating clean and will continue checking out your blog as one of my sources for recipes and more Keep up the good sharing!

would like to get your posts…it's hard to manage Vegan and Gluten free
- January 23, 2013 at 7:58 pm
What test did your doctor do to determine you were sensitive to gluten and corn? I am also a migraine sufferer and have gone gluten free, and it did help with the migraines for a while and got rid of my bloating, but I am still having migraines. I am wondering about corn, as I eat a lot of it. Would love to know what test you did to determine what your food sensitivities were.
- January 25, 2013 at 7:59 pm
I am SUPER EXCITED to find your blog/recipes… you and I are kindred spirits- gluten free "whole food" vegan unprocessed low sugar and dairy etc… I was thinking I was the only one of my kind out in the world, and here you are with TONS of fun yummy looking recipes for us to try!!! WHOOHOO!!! I tried to subscribe via my email, but your button didn't work… you may want to look into that by the way… otherwise SUPER EXCITED!!! going to bookmark your site!!!
- January 31, 2013 at 6:18 pm
I have been following your blog for a few weeks now, I am amazed at how similar our stories are. I finished my undergrad in 2009, I am a teacher, I stopped eating gluten in January of 2011, I was never tested because I won't put gluten back in my body. When I read your post the other day about listening to KLOVE, I nearly died, that's my first choice for a radio station. Thanks for blogging, I always enjoy new food ideas.
- March 12, 2013 at 8:18 am
Hi Chelsey,
Your recipes are amazing! I never would have thought to put nut butters on my oatmeal (almond butter for me).
I've been GF/DF for many years. Vegan for over a year. Still crave salmon every once and awhile. Trying to quit. Your recipes are helping that.
I'm a teacher (Sp. Ed.) and am on break this week. I made the roasted potato broccoli white bean soup the other day and plan to make many more.
Thanks for being awesome!
- April 9, 2013 at 5:14 am
Hi Chelsey, Lovely website with some great GF and Vegan recipes. As a person struggling with Celiac Disease it's very difficult to manage meals for a family. GF products are expensive and home baking is time consuming. As you probably know, there are many hidden Glutenous additives in everyday products that we include in our meals everyday. Soya sauce, Teriyaki, mustards, curries, hydrolyzed plant protein, barley, malt, kamut, caramel, even root beer! (Dr. Pepper is ok apparently yay!) Just wanted to thank you for your work on the blog, but thought you may wish to be aware of your advertisers. Triscuits? Doughnuts?
- April 19, 2013 at 2:58 am
Hi, I notice that quite a few people are saying that they are GF but also say they have oatmeal, that has gluten doesn't it?
Im really hoping that I am wrong.
- May 10, 2013 at 8:01 am
Hi Chelsey! I am very interested in becoming gluten free. I notice when I cut out foods with gluten my hands seem not to swell. Now that I am pregnant and have most of the summer I am debating if I want to do it now, or after the pregnancy. I know in the morning I need some kind of whole grain to hold me together. But I have seen gluten free breads and gluten free oats. How did you make the switch. I know you said it was a challenge, but I am up for it. I went vegan for a while, but I really missed my buffalo chicken. Thank you in advance!
- May 17, 2013 at 5:20 pm
What a great blog and people here sharing information.
I been looking for recipes for my family. We have different food intolerant and allergies so this blog is perfect.
For Mo Brady, In our family we did the Food Stats antibody Assessment, this test cover all kind of food.
is a blood test and takes 3-4 weeks to get results. Naturophatic are one the doctors that make this.
My daughter has big tonsil as a kid, cough . They just her tonsils, They never gave us a why. she had problem at school with focus, math , she could not get anything done. then she star with seasonal allergies, then asthma (sport induce), then asthma at home. Natural remedies where are a huge help.I been learning a lot on my own, read book or taking conference with Naturophatic doctors. Making changes is so important so as finding the right products to help us support and recover our gut. We need to stay a way from wheat, gluten, eggs and corn, almonds(just me ). The wheat and corn are so difficult they are in everything.
Thank you for sharing your recipes .
- May 26, 2013 at 7:34 am
I just want to say thank you for your blog. I was having horrible medical issues. I had IBS, joint pain, weight loss issues, etc. and I finally found a nutrionalist who tested me and found out I have Wheat/Gluten and Corn Allergy, Celiac Disease. I felt like my life was over. Alot of Celiac disease websites and gluten free websites mention corn as ok and I have been so confused, not to mention skeptical that food was the cause of all my problems… but as I can see I am not alone. The symptoms are real and I don't feel so crazy anymore not knowing the cause. Your recipes and advice are a lifesaver. When they told me what I couldn't have I thought my life was over, no this no that… no more of my favorite foods I grew up loving… But I'm starting to see there is alternatives to enjoy food. I have went basically on a eat clean diet in addition to the gluten/corn free diet and I feel amazing and it's much easier to manage thinking "Eat Clean" than just "Gluten Free". Thank you again so much for your website!
- June 1, 2013 at 7:03 pm
I'm loving your site! I had near-daily headaches for about 15 years and have battled chronic migraine for three years. In those three years, I've had two beautiful boys. I'm trying a very restrictive elimination diet in an effort to treat these headaches without going on preventative meds. It's only been five days, and you're right…it's tough! Especially for a Southern girl who runs a lot and is used to being able to eat anything without much concern about weight.
You and other bloggers give me hope that this will work for me. Your site is creative, smart, and easy to navigate, and I'm sure the recipes are delicious. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your insight Wish me luck!
- June 24, 2013 at 5:46 pm
Thank you so much for this blog. About a year ago my stomach started getting very painful, eventually reacting negatively to what I now know as gluten. Also, started having abdominal and stomach disorders that were severe. And, the gastrointestinal symptoms were something else not at all good. Then, last August I had a bone density scan, it showed osteoporosis. A couple weeks later went to my wonderful doctor, asked him whether I was celiac, he said yes. He is a medical doctor who happens to be a great friend. Oh, I was born and raised in the medical profession so he and I speak the same language, which is great!! Another good thing is that I cannot take medications, because if taken I have to go to the hospital. Meat is another food that has not been eaten for a year and a half, but fish and eggs are.

Chelsea – Do you have a book with your recipies or do we print them from your site? Clarissa
- August 30, 2013 at 2:31 pm
Fell upon this as I was looking up healthy food blogs for my clients. Definitely cant stop reading and looking at the recipes! I am an ACSM health fitness specialist who has been struggling with GI problems as well. I have been restricted and its hard! No gluten, dairy, soy, eggs or grains! so its hard to find the proper balance of nutrition when I am teaching and training all day long. not to mention I am a sad italian girl (no pasta, tomatoes, cheese ) but I am interested in trying your recipes! have you ever heard of microscopic lymphocytic colitis? I wish you luck with your arrival of the twins!

LOVE your recipes, just made the gluten free blueberry pancakes. Lots of excellent recipes here, thanks!

I need advice.. My son has never had a normal bowel movement and I have asked multiple doctors about what i should do. all they said was try no juice or apple sauce and that it seemed common in a lot of toddlers. I was advised by someone to go gluten free. So I did. after 2 weeks he had his first normal bowel movement in 2 1/2 years !! He had a couple of normal ones after that but it has seemed to go back the way it was after accidentally giving him gluten once about 3 weeks after we started it the first time. Im so frustrated !! He does occasionally have oatmeal but i thought that was gluten free as is.. any advice or suggestions would help!! thanks

My daugther is 12 she has been in and out of the hospital for stomach pain, headaches to constipation ongoing. We have started on gluten free foods. we had labs done and she has many food senetivities. She is highly allergic to Wheat, Beans and Nuts. From all the research I have been reading Vegan, gluten free, corn free and possiblly dairy free might be the best for her?
I love all the information and your story. Your babies are so to cute!!!!
On top of all her food issues she now has type 1 diabetes and is on insulin. I want to teach her to just eat real foods but I need Ideas. She loves subway but now thats not a healthy joice for her. Its almost as if she knows what bothers her she frowns on certain foods. She turns away frome most my foods. She eats lots of salad with select toppings. At school they call to tell me she wont eat qute often. Anyways I hope you could give some input. Also she has been tested for celiac and its been negitive bothe times. from the info I read celiac wont test positive till the damage is done and doctors are not testing for all 4 catogories.Also wheat and gluten are 2 different allergies right? I could go on and on we all want our kids to be healthy she cries to me and asks why cant you make my stomach ache go away mom….?
Thanks gina

I love your blog! I'm native to Chicago so it's always fun to see what a Chicagoan is up to I just noticed that you're corn-free AND gluten-free. I'm managing a corn allergy. Do you have any go-to corn-free things or anything you specifically avoid?
- January 19, 2014 at 12:18 pm
I am a long time reader and I am going to be trying a gluten free diet. I have psoriasis which is and immune system disease that causes red rashes to appear all over me. I had a blood test that indicated I have a wheat allergy. I went to a nutritional counselor who told me I need to avoid wheat and gluten like the plague. I am hoping this helps. I've already tried your apple cinnamon muffins and they were great. The transition will not be easy but I am glad I have your blog to reference By the way, your daughters are so adorable!

Thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey. I am a 30 yr old with hashimotos, asthma and "seasonal" allergies. I've gone GF several times and it ALWAYS helps, but I could never stick to it. But, 4 months ago I woke up in the middle my very first Anaphylactic reaction, it was super scary and required an ambulance ride ( another first). I was put on a crazy amounts of medication, steroids, antihistamines, stomach meds, and still ended up in the ER one more time before my body calmed down. After seeing a allergy specialist and having all my testing done we determined that it wasn't environmental, but something I ate. However, unlike most anaphylaxis, mine was delayed. The only thing that came back on my food panel was dairy and beef. So, I LOOSELY followed a DF and beef free diet for a while, cheating often, and dealing with the constant wheezing, itchy skin, bloated stomach, and allergy flare ups. Then 3 weeks ago I woke with the start of another reaction. I had eaten a hamburger with cheese the night before, so I knew exactly what the cause was this time. I had to use my Epi, and call 911. I was determined after that that I needed to cut all allergens from my diet. I went on a strict GF, DF, low (natural source) sugar free and all red meat diet, starting the moment I stepped out of the ER. Today is my 3rd week, and I feel AMAZING!!! I have been suffering from sinus headaches forever, and those are gone, my body does not feel inflamed anymore, my joints have stopped hurting, my stomach bloat is completely gone, my allergies are manageable, and my energy level is at an all time high. I made the mistake of eating a glutinos wafer cookie yesterday and it made my stomach hurt, so I am sticking to making my own foods and desserts, so I can control what goes in them. I am a believer now, and this is not a diet, but a life style now.

Great read, i am in a similar position long time veggie suffer with IBS seem to have problems if i have starchy foods but in particulr try to stay off wheat, gluten & also trying to ween off dairy, a lot of vegan products are processed and i try to eat clean its a struggle with so little to eat in terms of protein really struggling to find something in the morning especially to replace the eggs. Would love some tips for staying clean on essentially a vegan GF diet

Hi, I stumbled upon this website, and I am glad I did. I would like to say I hope I am on the right track, after MANY tests, ( colonoscopy, endoscopy, CT scan with barium dye) My tests showed Dr issues but what was causing these issues? after being in such discomfort I gave up gluten on my own out of desperation, I have only been gluten free for 1 month so I have had set backs not realizing gluten was in SO MANY things, ( salad dressings, sauces, most packaged seasonings) I was wondering if you get glutened, how many days does it take to cleanse it out? can something be done to speed up the process, what are other people's symptoms? I hear "bloating" but mine was more to the effect of "distended" at times. my intestines basically SHUT DOWN. any thoughts?

Situated along a quiet, tree-lined street that is a bit far from major tourist sights
The Hotel Kraft stands along a quaint, tree-lined street near dozens of restaurants and shops. It's a less touristy area than other parts of the city, and most main attractions are not within easy walking distance.
Florence is extremely pedestrian-friendly, and is one of Italy's most beautiful cities -- it's more compact, and less gritty, than Rome. The Duomo is the most iconic sight here, but other popular attractions include Michelangelo's "David" at the Galleria dell'Accademia, the works of Botticelli and da Vinci at the Uffizi, and the Ponte Vecchio bridge, which dates back to the 1300s. The Piazza della Signora is a popular tourist hub, and many hotels are located near it.
This 77-room hotel sits in a quiet locale that's a bit removed from Florence's main attractions. A major draw is the rooftop terrace with small, seasonal pool and bar that overlooks the Tuscan hillsides. The rooms, however, are a mixed bag -- some have a bland look with generic furniture, while others feature bright accent walls and stylish adornments such as gilded mirrors. Flat-screen TVs add a modern touch, but some furnishings are showing signs of wear and tear. Overall, this hotel is a decent value, with perks such as free daily breakfast and free Wi-Fi.

We are Looking For….
Admissions committees in the College of Arts and Sciences look for an outstanding record of academic achievement in a rigorous high school curriculum. Applicants must have a strong commitment to the liberal arts and sciences.
- Admissions committees in the college are comprised of faculty and academic deans and are organized by geographical region. Keep in mind that we require certain standardized test scores (SAT I or the ACT AND two SAT II subject tests) – see the link below for a full listing of college requirements. Although these test scores are important tools for our admissions committees, we also emphasize a number of other critical elements in your application. In no particular order of importance:
- Committees evaluate the rigor and level of performance (as reflected in your grades) on the applicant's academic transcript to gauge the kind of student the applicant is. We expect to see that applicants have challenged themselves with a demanding curriculum and that they continue to do so with their course selections for their senior year.
- Committees spend a great deal of time reviewing the applicant's writing in their application essays. This allows the committees – and in particular our faculty – to see the kinds of interests and experiences that each applicant might bring to our college community and also allows the faculty to evaluate the quality of the applicant's writing.
- Committees place a great deal of emphasis on the letters of recommendation from teachers and guidance counselors. In addition to having learned about the kind of student you have been (as seen on your transcript) and the kind of student you think you are and hope to be (as seen in your writing), these letters allow us to see what kind of student others see you to be.
- Committees seek to find out what activities, jobs and interests you have outside of the classroom. We hope to select an interesting and talented class as well as a class of students that has demonstrated they have the ability to balance academic rigor with other interests. A key indicator of your ability to handle these demands at Cornell is how you have handled balancing these interests in the past.
No one criterion is more important than another and this list is by no means exhaustive. Instead, it should give you a sense of the range of the many important criteria that go into our committees' selection decisions.
Here are the requirements all applicants to the college must have satisfied when applying.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts on my next project, both in the comments section of the post below and on my Facebook page. Posing that question online like that was a risk because of the possibility that it could appear that I was pandering. While I will admit that there is a certain degree of egotistical gratification in my ability to ask a question of hundreds of people and receive prompt answers peppered with praise for my art, but my decision as to what project to pursue next had been made quite some ago. First though, your comments.
Neither here nor on Facebook was there significant support for an illustrated version of David Lindsay's A Voyage to Arcturus which makes me sad. I truly love that book, and I think it is a fascinating and intensely visual read. I know that I will illustrate it at some point in my life, although if I do, those illustrations may remain forever unpublished. I am reminded of a conversation I had with my agent shortly after my Moby-Dick in Pictures book had been released. He asked me what I would like to do next and I mentioned several ideas, including Arcturus, which is what I wanted to do most. My agent, who is a genuinely decent human being, said something along the lines of "If you want to do that, I encourage you to. But, no one will publish it, no one will pay you for it, no one has heard of it, and no one cares." His point of view seems to be rather accurate. Still though, that is an idea that is dear to me and it will happen. I just don't know when.
I may be fortunate enough to be doing something visual with Hodgson's The Night Land but this will hopefully involve some collaborators and may contain a musical element as well. I can't say much about this, but that project is definitely incubating.
The Lovecraft thing, while intriguing and a curiosity to me, is more a pleasant diversion. Hopefully I will get a chance to work this some day, but for now it will remain an afterthought.
Some of the suggestions I received in the comments were fascinating. Klaas Smets' remark about David Ohle's phenomenal novel Motorman is almost eerie. That book blew me away when I read it, and it has done so harder and more viciously with each subsequent reading. It's a book that seems to lodge itself in my mind, never too far from my thoughts, and I've considered trying to illustrate it many many times. A few things have stopped me though. First, it would hard. Really really hard to illustrate. Second, David Ohle is still alive and there is a part of me that is terrified of doing something that he would consider either offensive or just lousy and stupid. If he even noticed or cared at all. But that is a strong contender, Klaas, and I wonder if you knew how much that book meant to me?
Jeffrey Meyer's suggestion to try something non-fictional was a pleasant surprise. I've never ever considered that in the past but the idea really has me thinking, particular in regards to Freeman Dyson and perhaps Buckminster Fuller. Maybe.
Ultimately though, my mind had been made up several months ago. Don't take this as some kind of specific or official announcement, especially since there is still a lot of work to be done on the Heart of Darkness book which won't even be published until this fall, but what I'd like to do next is an original story, loosely draped around the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. It will be visual, although whether it will be a straightforward graphic novel or some other kind of picture story, I haven't yet decided. It will be meant for adults though, and will be about guilt, redemption, war, murder and gardening. I've been thinking about this for months, and I am absolutely terrified since I am not the best writer or comic artist at all, but I think it's a good story, well worth reading, and I think I can pull this off.
So that's where I've been leaning for some time, and now that Heart of Darkness is complete, I can take some time and really think this through. I'll let you know.

Adverse effects reported with risedronate have been mild to moderate and have seldom required discontinuation of therapy. General body symptoms have included flu-like symptoms (10%) and asthenia (5%).[Ref]
There were no deaths in a 1 year, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of risedronate 35 mg once a week for prevention of bone loss in 278 postmenopausal women without osteoporosis. More treated subjects on risedronate experienced arthralgia (risedronate 13.9%; placebo 7.8%), myalgia (risedronate 5.1%; placebo 2.1%), and nausea (risedronate 7.3%; placebo 4.3%) than subjects on placebo.[Ref]
During phase 3 clinical studies, patients with a history of upper gastrointestinal (GI) disease or abnormalities were not excluded. Severe upper GI side effects were not noted. Patients using NSAIDs or aspirin were also included in phase 3 clinical studies. GI side effects in patient using concomitant NSAIDs or aspirin were higher than in non users.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have included diarrhea (20%), nausea (10%), abdominal pain (12%), constipation (6%), belching or colitis (3%). Dyspepsia, diarrhea, gastrointestinal disorder, flatulence, gastroenteritis, vomiting, and dry mouth have also been reported.[Ref]

The 2011 NBA Draft is pretty much right around the corner. At this point, draft-eligible players are traveling around the nation and working out for NBA teams, including former Kentucky stars Josh Harrellson and Brandon Knight.
Below are a couple of pre-draft interviews with Harrellson and Knight. Also, Chad Ford of ESPN.com has unveiled his latest mock draft. It's an Insider story, so what you need to know is Ford has Knight going No. 3 to the Utah Jazz and Enes Kanter going No. 4 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. DeAndre Liggins and Harrellson are not listed in Ford's first-round mock draft.

It's a daily ritual at Saratoga: People come in very early and lay claim for a picnic table by putting down a tablecloth or some chairs around it. Then they leave for a few hours, maybe go back to bed. When they arrive back at the track before post time, their table is waiting for them. One of the cool things about Saratoga is that once a table is staked out, it stays that way. Don't often see a rat come in and take a table that's already taken.

Vringo to Merge, Focus on Patents
Video ringtone provider Vringo plans to merge with intellectual property firm Innovate/Protect as part of a strategy to cash in on the lucrative patent market.
The combined companies will "be positioned to enhance its opportunities for revenue generation through the monetization" of their joint patent holdings, Vringo said in its announcement today.
Vringo has taken a beating on the stock market since it went public in 2010.
The tie-up with Innovate/Protect will move it away from its struggling software business and likely into the courtroom - Innovate/Protect is currently suing Google, AOL, IAC Search & Media, Gannett and Target for infringing its search engine patents, which it acquired from 1990's search engine heavyweight Lycos. The case is scheduled to go to trial on Oct. 16, 2012.
"We believe that the combination of Innovate/Protect's litigation expertise and patent portfolio combined with our licensing experience and mobile-related patent portfolio will allow the enhanced Vringo to fully realize the potential of our joint intellectual property," Vringo CEO Andrew Perlman said in a statement.
Perlman was just promoted to the chief executive post from his position as Vringo's president, replacing Jonathan Medved, who resigned.
Vringo is bolstering its executive ranks with Innovate/Protect CEO and Chief Technology Officer Andrew Lang, who will serve as president and chief technology officer of the combined company.
Vringo also hired former Nokia senior litigation counsel David Cohen to lead its legal efforts.
Innovate/Protect COO Alexander Berger will shift his post to Vringo, and the company's current CFO Ellen Cohl will keep her present position.
The transaction is subject to approval by Vringo's shareholders and customary closing conditions and is expected to wrap up during the second quarter.
Upon completion, the shareholders of Innovate/Protect will own about 55 percent of the combined company's common stock, and Vringo's current shareholders will own about 25 percent.

Highlights and context: Landon Donovan posts fourth career hat trick, but Galaxy can't hold on
Aug 11, 2013, 11:30 PM EDT
Six goals. Five after the 45th minute. Three equalizers. A legend's explosion, an assistant referee's horrible night, and the continuing frailty of the two-time defending champions. This match had a little of everything, and as it concerns Landon Donovan goals and blown offside calls, it had a lot.
FC Dallas and LA Galaxy played to a 3-3 draw Sunday night, a result that leaves each team outside the Western Conference's playoff spot. But in a game that saw both teams trail and each side have to fight back, the point could be see as a good thing for both. Los Angeles made a mid-summer trip to Dallas and came away with a result – an objectively decent result. FCD was able to counter a Landon Donovan hat trick, something that would normally put Bruce Arena's team in the win column.
And this wasn't one of those hat tricks players sometimes stumble onto. A defense-splitting run in first half stoppage time allowed Donovan to convert a Robbie Keane ball behind Dallas's high line. His first time blast from inside the arc doubled his haul in the 73rd minute, while a marksman's finish into the bottom right-hand corner completed his hat trick nine minutes later. If this were radio, the morning drive producer would have used the NBA Jam "He's on fire" drop.
Ultimately, a couple of terrible calls and LA's season-long foibles cancelled out Donovan's hat trick. Matt Hedges opened the scoring from some pretty basic corner kick execution. In the second half, a restart saw LA's defense exploited again, though the assistant referee's flag should have end up for offside. And four minutes after Donovan's third goal, more poor defending and assistant referee mistakes helped Dallas pull even.
The linesman has to be better with the calls on Dallas's last two goals (below). There's just no excuse for missing calls off a restart. At the same time, LA has to be better at defending these situations, from the goalkeeper forward.
Once that problem gets solved, you'd think LA's tendency to give away late goals also disappears. They've got to solve this anti-Goonies thing at some point.
Landon's goals are up top. Dallas's goals? Right here:
- drewvt6 - Aug 12, 2013 at 1:45 PM
Part of the storyline of this game has to be Gyassi Zardes is a horrible, terrible, bad finisher. Had Mike Magee been in the rotation, the score may have been 5-1 at halftime in favor of the Galaxy. No one in the league can setup players to score like Donovan and Keene.

VIDEO: Plymouth's Charlotte Holmes is crowned Miss England after beating rivals from across the UK
Posted: June 28, 2012|
YESTERDAY, Plymouth. Today, England. Tomorrow, the World?
The rise and rise of former Face of Plymouth winner Charlotte Holmes has now seen the 23-year-old crowned Miss England after she beat 59 other competitors at a glitzy final.
Wearing a stunning blue gown Charlotte – Miss Devon – gulped down tears as she was presented with her crown and trophy.
Video courtesy www.pukaarnews.com
Speaking to The Herald, Charlotte, from Torpoint, said the win and its implications had not yet sunk in. "I've haven't quite come back to earth yet. I'm completely overwhelmed. I cried my eyes out because I wasn't expecting it."

Accompanied by her parents and sister Charlotte said this was going to be her third – and last – shot at the title.
She said: "It was my last chance so it was a big thing to win it. I'm a pretty determined person and I don't get phased by defeat. You've just got to get back up and try again."
Her 'can-do' manner has won her fans across the globe include supermodel Elle Macpherson who hosted Britain's Next Top Model in 2010, where Charlotte gained fourth place. Elle broke down as Charlotte was forced to leave, saying on the programme: 'When she didn't make it through to the final three, it felt like a part of me was rejected.'
Charlotte said Elle had been a "big supporter", who had given her many words of encouragement, urging her to never give up.
"My parents had always taught me to keep trying. If at first you don't succeed...!"
Charlotte still recalls her first test photos for the Face of Plymouth in Drake Circus with Herald photographer John Allen, who went on to take her first portfolio at the Herald's photographic office.
Charlotte said: "I've been lucky enough to have met lots and lots of people who have been really positive. People like John and Elle have been really inspirational."
Today, Charlotte will be off to star in the Mauritius Carnival, a journey of great personal significance.
Charlotte said: "My gran, who's 92, is Mauritian and my dad's half half-Mauritian. There's a lot of family history for me there. It will be amazing to go and see her roots."
Later this summer Charlotte head off for the Miss World competition in China with the final in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, in August.
Be at the Face of Plymouth 2012 final on July 21 – all the details on page 15.

Hinck's Turkey Farm Wall NJ
I've been craving some homemade turkey,I figured Hincks is the place to get my fix .Almost drove past the place as the lot was empty ( not a good sign) Inside the place was clean & the lady's working the counter were helpful as to what was included with an order( sides available) The problem was the food which is viewable behind a glass butcher case glass,None of it even looked appetizing. It all looked dried out no way was it homemade,after tasting a turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes,mac & cheese & cranberry I was very disappointed on all counts. It's been awhile since I've been to Hincks & it will be longer before I go back. VERY DISAPPOINTED
re: angelo04
re: angelo04
Yes fresh turkey year round,as for the personal dinner I've had much better from Wegman's.
I had a couple of wild turkey's walk through the front yard yesterday, wondered for a moment if they'd escaped from a turkey farm but they were black. Pretty fun.
I remember they had a store/restaurant in Point Pleasant that served a good meal. However, that was shut years ago. Looks like with that closing, things have changed...
Very surprised to hear this. Every time we get Thanksgiving Day sandwiches from here, they are excellent. Also love the turkey soup. It's crowded at lunch time and on the weekends.
Hincks needs a wake up call. (Doesn't anyone who cooks for a living watch Restaurant Impossible? Or the Food Channel?)
$13.50 for a canned cherry pie - $10 for the smallest rotisserie chicken ever - the stuffing is spreadable with a butter knife and the turkey noodle soup is bland with a sour aftertaste (boiled turkey, peas and carrots - no color, no flavor) with elbow macaroni (not a noodle). I can't bring myself to buy the pot pies where the first ingredient is "turkey gravy" and no spices or shortenings or flours are listed...
Very frustrating because they offer valuable and desirable services to our area and have everything else going for them except cooking and caring... I hope they make it, I really do.
