Some good betting tips for a beginner?
Question by Ashlee: Some good betting tips for a beginner?
As kind of a late birthday gift, my parents took me to Las Vegas. Inside the Harrah's Casino in the backroom was the room where they had all the racetracks where you can bet on the horses, among other sports. I asked the guy at the desk if he could explain how the horse betting system works and even after that it was still a bit confusing for me. I decided i would bet on a horse named Straight Story to win this race at Monmouth Park. He was the second favorite but he won the race. I won $ 2.10 but i though it would be more than that? After that i bet on a horse named Lela to win,place or show a race for fillies and mares. She finished 4th. I've been on several betting sites and was wondering if anyone else has any good info/tips?Thank you!

Answer by Sandra S.
As a handicapper for many years, there are no magic handicappers or formulas I promise you. But, I can help you get on your way with knowledge… YOU first must know how to understand race horse handicapping. Assuming you don't..your will definitely need to know how to read a horse racing form. Handicapping is a skill in which one gets better with time, and with time your skill will still continue to grow. I've been handicapping for years and still find new angles. When making picks, I first handicap the race, I look at each horse's performance under prior racing conditions that most matches the conditions of the track and race that day. This information is usually in the program. The Daily Racing Form (DRF) is a great source on-line and is usually on sale at the track, this form is designed to provide all of the past performance information, as well as articles, analysis, and handicapper picks and tips.
Keep in mind, The Daily Racing Form has an incredible amount of information entered into a small space, so abbreviations are used, and columns are used. It's not as confusing as you would think. Once you're familiar with reading the Information properly, it becomes very easy. The bottom line is to seek for clues to predict the winner of the race. Most importantly, handicapping is taking all of the available information, combining it all, and analyzing the horses. The more information you utilize in your picks, over time you will better your chances of having winning tickets. It is, of course, NOT guaranteed that you'll always have the winner, you're dealing only with probabilities and possibilities, because Horse Racing is very unpredictable, anything can happen at any time and it usually does, so if anyone promises a guaranteed pick, don't ever believe it, for it's impossible. I enjoy horse racing, however, I only bet on certain races, mostly the High Stake Races. I do it for fun, and manage my money wisely. I'm very active in helping race horses, trainers and owner, and the Industry, so it's more than a betting game to me. I love it, and I'm not in it for the gamble. Always remember there is NO Guarantee in anything ! The odds on a horse are a good indicator of where the horse is expected to finish (a horse with 2/1 odds has a better chance of winning than a 30/1 horse, but the 30/1 horse is a much better payout, however, if you want to play it safe, look for a horse with at least 3/1 odds). Other factors to take into consideration: When did the horse run its last race? Experts say you want your horse to have run a race within the last 28 days to be sure it's in good shape. How many horses are competing? Obviously, it's a lot harder to pick a winner when there are a lot of contestants in the race. What does it say on the horses form? If there is a C, the horse has won on that track before. If there is a D, the horse has won on that distance before. These are both good bets. These are some tips, however, there's a whole lot more to handicapping, and it's a skill that takes time and the learning never ends.
Good Luck To YOU ! Have Fun !

How do you get good results for slimmer thighs and waist line?
Question by Jen: How do you get good results for slimmer thighs and waist line?
Don't be a jerk and say your fat. I'm not. I'm 5'2, and 125. I just would like to know a good exercise habit to get in shape for track season and just good fitness tips to get results for slimmer waist line and thighs.
Best answer:
Answer by ?
You have several hundred muscles in your leg, butt, hip, thigh and lower stomach area. The major problem is, not exercising these muscles correctly will make your trouble spots worse and more pronounced, while risking serious injury. However, the right exercises that use these muscles in harmony with each other can bring definite results without spending unrealistic amounts of time on ineffective exercises and risking long term set-backs. You don't need access to a gym because this type of approach doesn't require weights and machines.
I am a 5.7 and 25 years old and a month ago I weigh 147lbs although about a year ago I weighed 188lbs. I am not very happy with how I look, although I have slimmed down a lot, but I still look like I'm pregnant. My stomach is flabby, my butt is big and I just feel and look disgusting. I used to run on treadmill for 15-20 mins then do some stretching for 10 min and then workout for 30-40 mins and all this 7 days a week. But I just couldn't reach my goal. It is enough to make anyone frustrated.
A month ago a friend introduced me a workout program. I was skeptical at first that this would work by itself. Targeted weight loss is quite tough, some would say impossible, but it definitely does produce results. I have lost 20 lbs in four weeks plus 3 inches from my stomach and even my legs are much more slimmer then before. If you are wondering that this program is too good to be true then get your FREE copy of 'The Leg, Butt, Hip and Thigh Enhancement e-Guide' at the source below. You will not regret it! And your body will thank you for it.

What is a good weight lifting routine for soccer?
Question by AndyM: What is a good weight lifting routine for soccer?
My foot and dribbling skills are good, however, I think the time has come for me to work on my speed & explosiveness. I play twice a week and run a 5k 2x/week, but seem to neglect working on my legs when it comes to weights. Does anybody have any tips on lifting for speed? I usually do 3 sets of 15-20 reps but I feel like I'm getting nowhere.
Best answer:
Answer by Shaun
Ankle weights are good for increasing speed. Strap them on, go for a jog. Take them off and you feel light as a feather and your acceleration increased tenfold. Try and research fast twitch fibre muscle workouts as well, that will help. Your glutes (@ss) is where your power comes from when your running. Really work your legs. Cycling is very good for your legs plus a strong core gives you balance and that platform for when you explode of the spot in a sprint (and running in general). Normal weight exercises for your legs to make them stronger would be good. Always do light weight warm up reps before each exercise though to avoid injury. I enjoy working my legs and getting them as strong as possible (plus it looks good for your physique). Over a 25-30 yard sprint there's no one in my team that can beat me. I'm just so quick of the mark (almost springy like). Good luck with the workouts mate and your Soccer games.

How will I know that I am on my right diangle?
Best answer:
Answer by Katie
Be CONFIDENT!
Confidence is a huge part of showing horses.
If your horse misbehaves, correct it and go on like nothing happened. The judges will notice that sort of positive attitude.
Also, gypsy vanner's are usually pretty flashy, use that to your advantage.
If it is a pattern class, remember each element is scored separate from the rest, so if you mess one up, make the next one AWESOME.
Don't forget that it is your first show, and so you have a little wiggle room on making mistakes.
Deep breaths are the key.
Good luck!!

Tabata training.
It's like a 60-minute intense workout packed into just 4 minutes. It involves intense cardio for 20 seconds and then 10 seconds of rest, on a continuous cycle, 8 times in total.
Trust me, this is the best workout you can get in that amount of time. You will be absolutely unable to move after this workout.

Q&A: What are some good fitness tips?
Question by Best Actor Ever!!!: What are some good fitness tips?
I have been trying to lose weight for a couple months now and has been stuck at one weight. Do anyone have any fitness tips and also eating tips for me?
Best answer:
Answer by EddySays
80% of weight loss is diet.
You can eat a healthy diet and lose weight.
You can eat a healthy diet and exercise and lose more weight.
You can exercise and eat a poor diet and not lose and even gain weight.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them. A high fiber diet increases the metabolism.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup. Oatmeal with berries or a bit of fresh honey is also good.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you've heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take an age appropriate basic daily multivitamin. Don't look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients.
You have to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the natural toxins.
Last, you need to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep depending on your age. All recent sleep studies report a connection between poor sleep patterns and weight gain. This includes going to bed as close to the same time every night including weekends. Most of us stay up late Friday and Saturday night and it throws us off.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.
I lost 30 pounds in 5 months by spending my money at the grocery and gym and have kept it off for over two years. Less than 3% of people that attempt weight loss lose it and keep it off for two years. It is not easy. It is a lifestyle change.
Good luck and good health.

Best answer:
Answer by David B re
Assuming your not over weight, the first thing you want to do is find out what the standards are for your age (get that from your recruiter) and start training from there. You need to start a running program, learn how to do push ups and a lot of them as well as sit ups. Work on them everyday. Mornings are the best. You can join a gym to keep you motivated if you need it. By the way, learn how to jump rope. You will see results quicker on your cardio and damn good for the arm and shoulder muscles.

Open House 2014 - October 18 and 19
Santa Clara University cordially invites you and your family to visit one of the most beautiful campuses in California for our 2014 Open House. This annual event is designed to help prospective students learn more about the intellectual climate, philosophy, and community at Santa Clara.
To help in your college selection process, Open House is an especially beneficial event for any student considering applying Early Decision (binding) or Early Action (non-binding)—both with November 1 deadlines.
Throughout the day, students and their families will have an opportunity to hear from faculty and staff, participate in various panels highlighting distinctive areas of the University, tour the campus and facilities, and interact with current students.
Open House will take place Saturday, October 18 and Sunday, October 19, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The program is the same for both days. Check-in and Registration will be at the Malley Fitness Center from 7:30 a.m. until noon. After that, attendees may check-in at any of the Information Booths stationed throughout campus.
As this is an Open House event, we have created a schedule that will allow students and families to come and go as they please. Several presentations and tours will be repeated throughout the day, and, again, the program will be the same on both days, so you may choose to attend either Saturday or Sunday. Please take a look at the schedule beforehand to determine which sessions you might like to participate in, and plan accordingly.
You can view the program schedule here (PDF). The program will begin promptly at 8 a.m.
We look forward to having you on campus. Go Broncos!

View Excerpt
Serving on a church committee may not sound like a spiritual-growth opportunity, but it is. Certainly meetings can be long. Assignments can be difficult. Feelings can be hurt. But, as the author of The Effective Church Committee says, the Gospel gets carried out in the real world and a church committee is as real as it gets. Besides, committees are where the action is. If you learn to play your part, committee work can proceed more smoothly and even become a pleasure. This entertaining book tells you how to make it happen. It spells out your role, tells you what to expect of yourself and your leader, and gives you some ideas for making your time on the committee easier and more productive.
About the Author
Louis A. Towson has served as an Episcopal priest in various settings for 25 years. Currently he is rector of Church of the Holy Apostles in Satellite Beach, Fla. He also authored How to Run a Committee or Organization: A Manual for Church Leaders. He is a graduate of Florida State University and received his master of divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary.

Chapter Seven: Your Committee Notebook
Following is an excerpt from The Effective Church Committee. All rights reserved. Copyright © Resource Publications, Inc.
Chapter One: Now That Youve Been Asked
If someone has asked you to serve on a parish committee or group you might be pondering several questions, the chief one being: Do I really want to get involved?
For most of us the church is a place to worship and learn. We go on Sunday and at other times to hear good preaching, celebrate our faith in worship, and maybe take a class. But the church does much more. Prayer groups, parish dinners, retreats, and festivals abound. Youth ministry often takes a large share of parish resources. Ministry to the elderly, sick, and homebound also requires a lot of time and energy. Churches help the less fortunate with food, housing, medical care, and advocacy. They reach out to the unchurched with the message of Jesus Christ. Caring for buildings and grounds and managing financial and legal matters requires constant attention, too.
People like you are needed to serve on elected boards and energize parish organizations and committees. Is it worth taking the next step, especially if it means a greater demand on your time and energy?
I want my church to lift me up spiritually, some say. If I take a job, I will probably be over there at odd times haggling about money or debating about what color to paint the nursery. Wheres the spirituality in that? True, it is one thing to sit next to people in worship, but quite another to sit with them in a group that is wrestling with a knotty problem. In the first case not much is demanded, unless they sing off-key or fidget. You can always sit somewhere else next time. In the second, though, you might be on opposite sides of a question and have your patience tested to the breaking point.
Scripture warns us about the danger of segregating worldly concerns from holiness. In Jesus, God entered human flesh. During his travels he saw everyday challenges as opportunities for the glory of heaven to shine, evoke faith, and transform unlikely people. Crossing a lake in a storm-tossed boat, facing the task of feeding a multitude with meager provisions, and even attending a wedding party where the wine ran out provided chances for Gods love and power to blossom. Spiritual growth does not come only through worship or study but by lifting common tasks up to serve Gods purpose.
Lets suppose we go backstage after attending a play. We will find a score of people unseen by the audience who handled sound effects, adjusted lighting, and assembled scenery to create settings for the players. Those realistic trees in the forest scene were painstakingly crafted from papier-m#ch#. The actress who portrayed the sprightly young girl now sits exhausted in her dressing room, soaking her feet.
What met our eyes and ears was a moving drama that touched our hearts, yet behind it lay years of training, months of preparation, and an army of dedicated people working to tell the story.
In the same way, Sunday worship lifts up the truth of the Gospel. Behind it lies writing the sermon, choir rehearsal, preparing the bulletin, arranging the flowers, polishing, and cleaning. When we arrive for the service, does a well-kept yard greet us? Who did the cutting and trimming? Who wrote the check for the electricity that illumines the building, powers the organ, and controls the temperature? Theres a new family sitting in the third row because last Tuesday one of your members saw the moving van arrive and stopped in to invite them to church. Who visits the sick and prays daily for them? We petition the Lord for social justice, but who serves in the soup kitchen or volunteers in the clinic?
The Author of Life needs a production company to enact the saving story. All we do flows into and out of worship. It is a signal event in which everything finds purpose and direction as its offered to God. Becoming involved in the inner workings of ministry does not hamper our spirituality but deepens it.
Difficulties do arise. We have heard people say, Ive had my feelings hurt, or Church politics gets vicious! Because its aim is high, its failings are more obvious than those of other institutions. That simply means that we have to deal with people realistically, knowing that inside were all a bit like turtles with hard shells over our hearts. If we have come to faith in Jesus Christ, we should be equally realistic about Gods grace. The shell has been broken. Alienation from God doesnt have to be the last word. As surely as Christ rose from the grave, we can be forgiven our wrongs and have power to forgive others. It is part of picking up our cross and following Christ, and it will make the winding path we travel a way of blessing.
A projects success never lies merely in getting something done. It is linked with what happens to the team on the way to its completion. With everyone paying attention to Jesus, who is always present where two or three or a dozen committee members gather, a group can overcome differences, surmount obstacles, and accomplish something significant for others, often with a unity thats a joy to experience.
Is involvement really worth it? To answer that, we have to go into the innermost places of our hearts and pose the question a little differently: Am I being called through Gods church to deeper awareness and more faithful response to his limitless and loving work with me?
Once we move beyond that question, another arises, Can I do it? I heard of a man who had been called to serve as lay leader for a weekend religious conference. It was a big responsibility, and he grappled with doubts about his worthiness and ability to fulfill the required tasks. Im not going to do it unless God gives me a concrete sign that he wants me to, he announced to his wife. The following week he was driving to another town over a stretch of road hed never traveled before. As he passed a church these words leaped out at him: God doesnt call those who are equipped; he equips those whom he calls. They were inscribed on a concrete sign.
Its often easy to sell ourselves short when assessing our abilities. Usually its not highly specialized skills that are neededjust a willingness to let your gifts blend harmoniously with those of others. If you function smoothly in your occupation, you can be useful in your church as well. Self-doubt is humility. Pride is being sure that even God cant use you for any good purpose. Faith is the belief theres no limit to what God can do through you.
Next, examine your commitments. Can I make the meetings? Will I have time to do the required work? Will I need to adjust my schedule? Ask for a detailed job description. Get a definite picture of the demands and put yourself realistically into it.
After due consideration, the yes or no is up to you. Pray hard, reflect on Scripture. In Exodus 3 note Moses reluctance to undertake the mission the Lord called him to. Let Gods promise, I will be with you, bring assurance that a child of God is never alone.
Im tempted to pass on what a minister friend of mine always told those he invited to do a big job: Pray hard about it; then say Yes!

Steelers | Martavis Bryant has elbow infection
Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:53:17 -0700
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Martavis Bryant (elbow) will undergo a procedure for an elbow infection that will cause him to miss the Hall of Fame Game Sunday, Aug. 9, against the Minnesota Vikings. He is expected to be sidelined for seven to 10 days because of an infection caused by an ingrown hair.
Fantasy Tip: Fortunately, this does not appear to be a serious injury for Bryant. His role in the Pittsburgh offense should grow this season and he's worth taking a gamble on as a WR3.

Steelers | Le'Veon Bell's suspension reduced
Tue, 28 Jul 2015 12:00:57 -0700
Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell's original three-game suspension has been reduced to a two-game suspension Tuesday, July 28.
Fantasy Tip: Bell has still been drafted pretty high, but his value increases with the extra game he gains via this reduction. Despite the fact that he'll only be playing in 14 games, barring an injury, he could easily still finish as a RB1, if not the top running back in PPR games. DeAngelo Williams is expected to start the first two games of the season, so taking him late in drafts is a worthwhile goal.

Steelers | DeAngelo Williams unsure of workload
Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:31:54 -0700
Pittsburgh Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams isn't sure how often he'll be used in training camp or in the first few games of the season yet. RB Le'Veon Bell's fate is tied to his three-game suspension that lies in limbo. Williams said he'll be ready for whatever he's asked to do.
Fantasy Tip: Williams is expected to be the Steelers' starting running back for at least the first game of the season. Whatever happens after that is yet to be decided. He could be a useful handcuff selection for those who draft Bell.

Steelers | Le'Veon Bell staying prepared
Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:27:13 -0700
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell doesn't know yet how many games he'll be missing this season due to an impending suspension. Bell is focused on training camp and being a better teammate, though. He said he's going to give it his all every time he's on the practice field. Bell also said he might be given a lighter load in training camp this time around.
Fantasy Tip: Bell could end up being suspended somewhere between one and three games. Whether his suspension is reduced or upheld, he should still be regarded as a RB1. If his suspension is reduced, he should still be an early first-round pick. If he still ends up serving a three-game suspension, he's more of a late first-round pick to early second-round pick.

Steelers | Le'Veon Bell working to reduce ban
Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:25:28 -0700
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell's legal team and the NFL are negotiating to reduce Bell's three-game suspension to one or two games.
Fantasy Tip: Bell's fantasy stock would firmly be in the top half of the first round of most drafts if a game was knocked off his three-game suspension.

text: Giants owner John Mara says his team's surprising decision to draft quarterback Ryan Nassib came as a surprise to everyone within the team's draft room, too — because none of them thought Nassib would still be on the board in the fourth round. Mara said on NFL AM that Nassib was higher rated than everyone else available by such a large margin that G.M. Jerry Reese simply had to go get him.

Mortal Kombat fans have had months to master the game's original roster, which means it's about time for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to start expanding its options. The publisher today announced that the blood-soaked ninja Skarlet will be available to download starting June 21 for 400 Microsoft points ($5).
The Mortal Kombat roster is set to expand even further. Skarlet is just the first of the planned downloadable characters, along with the blind fighter Kenshi, the purple ninja Rain, and an as-yet-unannounced fourth fighter.
Skarlet won't be the only new Mortal Kombat DLC arriving this month. June 21 will also see the release of a new pack featuring new Sektor and Cyrax skins inspired by the robotic ninjas' appearances in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.
The first Mortal Kombat game since 2008's Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and the ninth in the series, the reboot is rated M for Mature for pervasive gore accentuated by gruesome fatalities. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's review of Mortal Kombat.

Depending on to whom you talk, the University of Connecticut is either starving for more state investment or it is already pigging out.
"It appears [UConn is] a man eating with two forks. And that's sometimes how we're asked about expenditures at UConn. You know, when is it enough?" Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, recently told UConn's president. Maynard is a member of the legislature's budget-writing committee.
Legislators across the state have been fielding similar questions ever since Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposed that the state spend $2.1 billion to drastically expand enrollment at the state's flagship university.

Hey guys ive figured out how you can do faster transfers for Usb Drives. Here are some simple steps you might want to consider doing:
1. The first tip and most important is to STOP USING "WBFS MANAGER". There are way better ones out there that transfer at faster rates, the one I use and recommend is called "Wii Backup Manager". This program tells you the rate or how many MB/s you are trasnfering at and how long the transfers will take.
2. Second Important factor is to NOT do transfers using USB connection. If you can, open up the harddrive enclosure and connect the raw harddrive straight to your motherboard. In order for this to work though your motherboard must accept sata connections and not IDE. If your computer is fairly new then you should have sata connection. Look it up on google if you dont know what a sata harddrive looks like compared to a IDE harddrive.
3. Third is to format the drive you are using to fat32 using "Wii Backup Manager" and transfer "WBFS" files instead of the usual "iso" files. So in other words if you are transfering iso's to another harddrive, instead convert those to WBFS files since WBFS transfers are way faster. Just make sure the program you are using like Wiiflow and USB Loader GX can read WBFS files. I use Wiiflow_222 Version. Wiiflow_249 doesnt work.
4. Also consider upgrading your computer specs, I personally bought a computer with a dual processor and 2 gigs of ram and most importantly that it had SATA connection, and with just that alone my transfer speeds went up from 24MB/s to 60MB/s . So that means that now I can fill up a 1.5 Terrabyte in just 5 hours TOPS, instead of the usual 24 hours.
5. Another tip I can give u is to use Windows 7 since supposedly data transfers are faster on Windows 7 then on XP. I havent tested that yet but Im using Windows 7.
6. My final tip, remember to make your computer not sleep after a while of being turned on, if you want, change the settings so that the screen turns off after maybe 10 minutes but whatever you do, dont let it go to sleep because then your data transfers will pause or stop.
I hope this helps you guys and if you have any questions or more tips, please send me a message here @ wiihacks because posting my email addy is a bad idea.or just respond to this thread.

Graduation Guidelines
Carroll's president presides over an annual commencement ceremony in May. Students graduating with degrees in August, December and May may participate, and their family and friends are invited to attend. For information about the Ceremony, please contact the Registrar's Office, 410-386-8440. The following are guidelines for graduating from Carroll.
Applying to Graduate
Upon registering for the final Carroll term, students must meet with an adviser to complete a graduation audit and apply for graduation. Students must apply to graduate whether or not they participate in the commencement ceremony. Students should periodically check-in with Advising, and apply early to assure that the appropriate courses are completed to meet graduation and transfer goals.
Graduation Application Deadlines
- March 1 - graduating in May and participating in May graduation ceremony
- May 15 - graduating in May and not participating in the May graduation ceremony
- Aug. 7 - graduating in August
- Dec. 11 - graduating in December
Graduating with Honors
Students who qualify for the Associate of Arts, Associate of Fine Arts, Associate of Sciences, Associate of Applied Sciences, Associate of Science in Engineering, or Associate of Arts in Teaching degrees and have a cumulative grade point average equivalent to 3.500 or higher at the end of the preceding Winter term are recognized at the commencement ceremony as graduating with honors during the ceremony. These honor students wear a gold cord for the ceremony to signify their achievement.
Alpha Beta Gamma (Business), Alpha Delta Nu (Nursing), Delta Alpha Pi (students with disabilities), Phi Theta Kappa (two-year college honors), Psi Beta (psychology), Hill Scholars, and Leadership Challenge students wear special regalia during the commencement ceremony. These students need to obtain honor garb from the honor society advisor.
When diplomas are issued, official formal honors are noted on the diploma, based on cumulative Carroll credits, as follows:
- 3.500 to 3.749 graduate Cum Laude (with honors)
- 3.750 to 3.899 graduate Magna Cum Laude (with high honors)
- 3.900 to 4.000 graduate Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors)
Students, who transfer prior to completing an associate degree, may transfer appropriate credits back to Carroll to complete their Carroll degree. Students in this situation must have taken at least 15 Carroll credits.
To transfer credits back to Carroll, send an official transcript to the Records Office and see an adviser in A102 to complete a graduation application before the graduation application deadline.
The University System of Maryland (USM) is working to facilitate reverse transfer. The Carroll transcript request form allows students to plan for reverse transfer by authorizing Carroll to request a transcript from a USM institution, in a future term, and apply to graduate from Carroll during the transfer process.
View the transcript request form or contact the Advising and Transfer Center at 410-386-8435 or at email@example.com for information about reverse transfer.

Thumbs up: PSC gets it right on special rate for aluminum plant
Credit is due the West Virginia Public Service Commission for seeing through the smokescreens thrown up by Century Aluminum in the company's quest to obtain a special electricity rate.
Century closed its Ravenswood smelter in 2009 after aluminum prices slumped, putting 650 people out of work. The company came back earlier this year saying it would like to reopen its plant -- if it could get a special electricity rate from Appalachian Power that would fluctuate with the ups and downs of aluminum prices.
After receiving a separate state commitment for a $20 million tax break, Century filed a proposal for a special rate with the Public Service Commission. One problem -- and a big one -- was that Century wanted to put other Appalachian Power customers on the hook if aluminum prices remained low and Appalachian Power was owed money for electricity to the plant.
The PSC correctly rejected that notion in a ruling in October. Its order said Century could have a special fluctuating rate, but at the end of a specified period, the company and no one else would have to make good on any money owed Appalachian Power.
Surprisingly, Century Aluminum wasn't done yet. In asking the PSC to reconsider, the company submitted two alternatives, but the PSC decided earlier this month that neither is acceptable. One of them still could have shifted $185 million to other Appalachian Power customers -- essentially ignoring the basis for the PSC's earlier decision.
The PSC also noted that Century Aluminum apparently had little faith in its own projections that aluminum prices would rebound in the next decade and provide for the plant's electricity costs to even out over that period.
The PSC's overriding message couldn't be clearer -- other Appalachian Power customers are not to be taking on the business risk for Century.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Nick Vander Tuig took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and UCLA snapped New Mexico's 10-game winning streak with a 7-1 victory in the Los Angeles Regional on Saturday night.
Vander Tuig (9-3) struck out a career-high 11 and lost his no-hit bid when Trey Porras led off the eighth with a double.
He allowed an unearned run in the fifth as the Bruins (44-14) won their sixth straight and 13th in 14 games.
The Lobos (37-23) entered the tournament with a team batting average of .333, but were held to their lowest hits total - two - of the season while UCLA pounded out 17 hits.
Gera Sanchez (8-3) took the loss for New Mexico. Vander Tuig retired the first 12 batters he faced.
Ryan Padilla reached on left fielder Cody Keefer's error in the fifth and scored on Porras' run-scoring groundout.

TWD- Peppermint Cream Puff Ring
I've made cream puffs before (see post below) so I was excited to try a new shape and new technique (my other recipe doesn't use a mixer). I loved making the ring and even had extra to make some cream puffs so it was the best of both worlds.
Last week I saw Alton Brown's Good Eats episode featuring Pate a Choux and followed his advise and just used a gallon baggie to pipe out the dough. I didn't even use a tip, since I didn't have a plain one big enough. It worked out great and required zero clean up!
I thought the flavor of the mint was perfect- subtle, refreshing, and light. I decorated the top of my cream puff ring with mini York Peppermint Patties. They were a nice little addition flavor wise and super cute. One of my favorite things about this dessert was how over-the-top it looked, while still tasting kind of homey and simple.
I also made a banana whipped cream filling for the cream puffs and decided to drop them off for Spencer for a little birthday treat (he loves Banana cream pie).
I whipped 1/2 cup of cream, added a little powdered sugar, some vanilla, and one ripe, mushed banana to make the banana whipped cream. Then, I piped in the cream with a small star tip fitted to a pastry bag and dipped the cream puffs in the rest of the chocolate glaze. A little dusting of powdered sugar and they were beautiful! I hope he liked them!
Thanks to Caroline for choosing such a fun and tasty recipe. The recipe can be found on her blog or at Epicurious. Next week's recipe is Mixed Berry Cobbler- I can't wait!
