Important Notes
The 2016-2017 Committee Letter Cycle will begin in October of 2015.
Please note that Committee Letters are written for students pursuing a degree at Hunter College, who have registered as Pre-Health students with our department, and Post-Bacc Certificate program students ONLY.
The Committee Letter
You must have an active Pre-Health file for at least 1 year before you can apply for a committee letter. This policy will be in full effect for the 2016-2017 Committee Letter application cycle.
If you are planning to apply for a Committee Letter in the upcoming 2015-2016 cycle, you must meet with a Pre-Health Advisor before the cycle begins to discuss the status of your Pre-Health file.
Rather than sending all of the separate recommendation letters in a student's file, applicants who qualify will receive one Committee Letter. The Committee Letter is a composite letter that incorporates all of the information in a student's file, and its narrative includes quotations from evaluations and letters of recommendation as well as impressions derived from the personal statement and an interview. At the discretion of the Pre-Health Committee, particularly strong and descriptive letters of recommendation may also be appended to the Committee letter in entirety.
Committee Letter Content
Each Committee Letter is subdivided into different sections, which include:
- Introduction & Background - with biographical information about the applicant, a brief description of the path leading to their application, and a summary of their educational experiences and accomplishments.
- Course Evaluations & Instructor Comments - which includes actual quotes from course evaluations and letters of recommendation describing the applicant's performance in a variety of subject areas.
- Clinical Experience - with a description of activities in the clinical area that the applicant is applying to as well as comments or appended letters of recommendation from supervisors in that area. It is important that every candidate has had clinical exposure related to their area of interest. Comments from supervisors in the clinical area provides admissions committees with a measure of the quality of such experiences .
- Research Experience - describing those activities if a candidate has research experience and incorporating comments from research mentors, which help to substantiate how effective a candidate has been as a researcher.
- Community Service - descriptions of the kinds of extracurricular activities that demonstrate that the candidate is genuinely committed to serving others. Again, letters from supervisors related to this area are encouraged as a way to evaluate a candidate's performance.
Committee Letter Application Workshops
Each applicant or re-applicant for a Committee Letter is now REQUIRED to attend a Committee Letter Workshop BEFORE submitting a Committee Letter application. These workshops are organized by the Pre-Health Office to provide each applicant or reapplicant with valuable information about preparing your Committee Letter Application AND your medical, dental or veterinary school application. This includes guidelines for preparing Personal Statements and other parts of the application. These guidelines are presented to help applicants to craft their personal statements and other parts of their Committee Letter Application.
The Pre-Health Office simply CANNOT meet with each applicant to critique their Personal Statements and other parts of the Committee Letter Application BEFORE it is submitted to us. Please do not come to advising sessions expecting this to happen. Longer appointments are necessary to provide this level of critique and we would like to provide this at a time when all of the necessary information is already in an applicant's file in order to make the feedback that we provide most meaningful, effective, and efficient. However, once the Committee Letter Application, along with all letters of recommendation and other supporting documents, have been received by the Pre-Health Office, candidates are encouraged to try to meet with a Pre-Health Advisor to get feedback on their Personal Statements and other facets of their applications.
In addition, every attendee at a Committee Letter Application Workshop is issued a unique Committee Letter Identification Number, which must be included in each Committee Letter Application before it can be submitted. This number cannot be shared and can only be obtained at one of these workshops. These numbers were provided to each attendee as they signed in at the workshop. If you did not attend a workshop, you will NOT be able to receive a Committee Letter Application Number and, therefore, will not be eligible for a Committee Letter.
Qualifications For The Committee Letter
Minimum academic qualifications for the Committee Letter include a GPA of 3.3 or higher for at least 38 credits in science and mathematics courses taken at Hunter. These 38 credits can be either completed or in progress at the time when the Committee letter application is submitted. The 38 credits must also include at least four (4) laboratory courses taken at Hunter College. The GPA requirement must be satisfied at the time when the Committee Letter Application is submitted.
Each candidate must also have appropriate extracurricular experiences in the field that they plan to enter (medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, etc.), as well as course evaluations and letters of recommendation that comment on their performance in both academic and clinical settings.
All applicants for the Committee Letter or a Letter Packet must also be in good academic standing at Hunter College and at any other undergraduate institutions that they have attended.
Special Transfer Student Committee Letter Qualifications
If you are a transfer student, the minimum academic qualifications for the Committee Letter include a GPA of 3.3 or higher for at least 30 credits in science and mathematics courses taken at Hunter. These 30 credits can be either completed or in progress at the time when the Committee letter application is submitted. The 30 credits must also include at least four (4) laboratory courses taken at Hunter College. The GPA requirement must be satisfied at the time when the Committee Letter Application is submitted.
Special Requirement for Students in Hunter's Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program
Students enrolled in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program at Hunter College are required to complete 56 hours of service to the Hunter Community. Please note that this service commitment must be completed BEFORE a Committee Letter can be submitted on a student's behalf.
To qualify for a Committee Letter, all applicants must also have an active file with the Pre-Health Advising Office with the following documents included:
A total of at least 8 evaluative documents, which includes letters of recommendation and course evaluations.
A minimum of 3 letters of recommendation. At least one letter of recommendation must be from science faculty member at Hunter College. At least one letter of recommendation must be from a supervisor in a clinical setting related to your intended field. If you do not have a letter of recommendation from a science faculty member and from a supervisor in a clinical setting related to your interest, this could adversely affect your eligibility for a Committee Letter and your likelihood of being accepted to a professional school.
Course Evaluations (ideally greater than five), which can only be obtained for courses completed at Hunter College. Evaluations can be included from lecture course professors, laboratory instructors, and teaching assistants from lectures and recitation sections.
Additional letters of recommendation from employers, supervisors and/or mentors in clinical, research, and community service settings, or from science and non-science faculty members from Hunter and from other institutions attended.
- A Letter of Good Standing from Hunter College and any other colleges or universities attended. To obtain a Letter of Good Standing from Hunter College you should contact Arthur Ford from the Office of Advising Services, Room 417 Hunter West.
Once the qualifications for the Committee Letter have been verified by the Pre-Health Office, a member of Hunter's Pre-Health Committee is assigned to interview the candidate and write their Committee letter.
The Letter Packet
For those students who have a file in the Pre-Health Professions Office but do not meet the minimum requirements for a Committee Letter (3.3 Science and Math GPA and 38 Credits in Science at Hunter); or for those who are applying to programs that do not require a Committee Letter, the Pre-Health Advising Office is also able to send out a Letter Packet. The letter packet consists of the Letters of Recommendation in your file along with a brief cover letter.
Each candidate for the letter packet must have a minimum Science and Math GPA of 3.0.
Each candidate must have at least 3 letters of recommendation in their Pre-Health File order to qualify for a Letter Packet. At least one of these letters must be from a science faculty member at Hunter and at least one letter must be from a supervisor in a clinical setting related to the field of interest. The Pre-Health Advising Office will examine your file and determine what letters are best to submit on your behalf. Only full letters of recommendation are submitted with a Letter Packet. Course evaluations are not appropriate documents for submission in a Letter Packet.
Each candidate for the Letter Packet must also have in their Pre-Health File a Letter of Good Standing from Hunter College and from any other colleges or universities that they have attended. To obtain a Letter of Good Standing from Hunter College you should contact Arthur Ford from the Office of Advising Services, Room 417 Hunter West.
The same application is required for either the Committee Letter or the Letter Packet. All sections of this Committee Letter Application MUST be filled in completely.
The deadline to apply for a Committee Letter or a Letter Packet is comming soon.
These dates are undergoing change. Please check back for the updated timeline.
Committee Letter Application Procedures & Timeline
The following outlines the different steps in the Committee Letter Application Process:
Before you can submit a Committee Letter Application, you must first attend a MANDATORY Committee Letter Workshop. Each workshop attendee will be issued a unique Committee Letter Application Number, which must be entered on the Committee Letter Application before it can be submitted. Attendance at a Committee Letter Workshop is REQUIRED for first-time applicants as well as reapplicants.
You must submit your application for a committee letter before the March 15 deadline.
- The minimum required number of recommendations and evaluations needed to qualify for the Committee Letter (8 total as described above) MUST be in your file by April 15th, 2015. If your file is not complete by that date, you will NOT qualify for a Committee letter.
- All additional letters or evaluations, beyond the 8 documents needed to meet the minimum specified qualifications, MUST be received by the Pre-Health Advising Office no later than June 15, 2015. If you are taking classes during the spring and plan to request letters or evaluations from your instructors, or if you are participating in clinical, research or volunteer experiences for which you hope to receive a letter, all of these documents must be submitted by the June 15 due date. Any documents received after that date will NOT be included in the Committee Letter or Letter Packet.
- MCAT, DAT or GRE scores are NOT required by the June 15 deadline. However, these scores must be released or submitted to the Pre-Health Office BEFORE completed Committee Letters or Letter Packets will be uploaded. it is very strongly recommended that all applicants complete the MCAT, DAT or GRE no later than mid July of the year in which they plan to apply to medical, dental or veterinary school. Later test dates can significantly decrease an applicant's competitiveness and potential for acceptance.
The Pre-Health Advising Office team will review your application to determine your eligibility for receiving a Committee Letter or Letter Packet and will issue a formal approval. The approval process is expected to take up to 4 to 6 weeks after the April 15th deadline for the Committee Letter application. Candidates who do not qualify for the Committee Letter will be informed if they have sufficient documentation to be eligible for a Letter Packet.
Once you have been approved for a Committee Letter, you will be directed to set up an interview with a member of the Committee, who is pre-assigned to develop your committee letter.Please allow 6-8 weeks from the time of approval of your application to completion of your letter request.
Additional requirements that must be fulfilled before a Committee Letter can be submitted
Important Notes:
- If you have the same instructor for more than one course, then only one evaluation or letter of recommendation is required. However, each of the courses that you completed with the instructor must be indicated in the letter or evaluation. In this case one letter or evaluation would count as written feedback for two courses.
- Evaluations can be written by Hunter College faculty and Laboratory or Recitation instructors (usually graduate teaching assistants), but letters of recommendation must be written by Hunter faculty.
- The number of evaluations will be considered in the context of all the other items in your file. The goal is to have enough information in a file for a committee member to write a thorough, accurate, and comprehensive letter. This requirement not only helps the committee but benefits the student. We require that you have 8-10 evaluative documents (letters and evaluations) in your file at the time when you apply for a Committee Letter.
- The Committee Letter Application is used by the Committee to learn more about your goals, accomplishments, and motivation. When you submit your Committee Letter application; this signifies to the Pre-Health Committee that you are ready to apply and want to be considered for a Committee Letter that semester.
- The Committee Letter Application is electronic and can only be completed in one sitting (you cannot start it and then go back to it later). You may want to start by answering the questions in MS Word. Then, when you are ready to submit the packet, copy and paste the answers in the appropriate boxes.
- The Committee Letter Application is also intended as a preliminary version of a medical, dental, veterinary, optometry or podiatry school application. You are expected to put serious and significant effort into the preparation of your Committee Letter Application as a major step in the preparation of your professional school application. It also provides the Pre-Health Advising Office with an opportunity to provide feedback on your professional school application before it is actually submitted.
- The Pre-Health Advising Office reserves the right to reject applications that are incomplete or that demonstrate a lack of serious effort.
- If you miss the March 15 submission deadline, or if your file is not complete with the required letters and recommendations by April 15, you will NOT be eligible to receive a Committee Letter or a Letter Packet.
- The Committee letter deadlines are established so that candidates' applications may be completed in a timely fashion. If you miss the Committee letter deadline, then your competitiveness as an applicant is likely to be compromised.
- If you are having trouble meeting the Committee Letter deadlines, then it may be best for you to defer your application until the next year's cycle. It is always best to apply to professional school when you are really ready - when you are the best applicant that you can be. It is NOT advisable to apply just to see what happens, when you know that you still need to accomplish a few things before you would be fully qualified.
Committee Letters will only be provided to students who have completed their course work within the last 5 years.
To apply for a Committee letter or a letter packet, you will need to view and access the application form through a link provided here. The link will be made active when the application cycle opens in January.
For those students who have received a Committee Letter or Letter Packet within the past two years and are re-submitting applications for medical, dental, veterinary or optometry school, a Committee Letter Update is required.
If your Committee Letter is older than 3 years, you are required to submit updated letters of recommendation.
In order to receive an update, you must also provide additional information through the Committee Letter Application.
All Re-Applicants are also REQUIRED to attend a Committee Letter Workshop. A unique Re-Applicant ID Number will be provided to you at that time. This number must be entered in the form to be completed by all Re-Applicants. You will NOT be able to submit the form if you do not enter the Re-Applicant ID Number issued to you.

LOUISVILLE - As the three- month agreement signed by the Louisville Town Board and its volunteer fire department comes to an end, town officials say progress is being made at resolving the departments internal issues.
We met with the fire department last week regarding the budget, and I think that meeting went well, Town Supervisor Larry R. Legault said.
Town Councilwoman M. Gail Schneider, who is one of two liaisons between the board and fire department, said theyre currently waiting for a more detailed listing of the departments expenditures from the current year. We have spoken with them about getting a report on their actual costs and what theyve actually spent, she said.
The boards other liaison, Ray A. Slim Beshaw, and Ms. Schneider agreed that the department appears to be headed in the right direction.
Theyre moving forward, Ms. Schneider said.
Theyre making progress, Mr. Beshaw added. Their membership is up. We just have to wait and see what happens.
When asked if a new agreement was being discussed, Mr. Legault said that he doesnt feel like that is necessary.
Were moving on and putting this behind us, he said. Were negotiating their contract and will be renewing it in November.
Louisville Volunteer Fire Department Chief John Sheets said hes glad to see things in the department headed in the right direction.
Things are getting where they need to be, he said, adding that over the past three months the department has added between 10 and 12 new members and the womens auxiliary has been reformed.
Mr. Sheets said its nice to see the community coming together to support the department. We did have some trouble with the town, but the community wasnt going to let itself lose its fire department, he said.

Comments about Audio-Technica ATW-701/H92-TH Wireless System:
Using it two days a week in a church sanctuary, transmitter 80 ft (more or less) from the receiver. As the pastor moves, there's an occasional faint hiss in certain palces. Bothers me more than anyone else, but I'm on the 4th channel, trying to find a clear one. Could probably benefit from a squelch control, as distance isn't a problem for us.
The headset is very comfortable for the pastor. The mic is OK - an omni condenser, so there is a chance of feedback if gain is too high and he moves too far in front of the speakers. Also, lows, low mids, and (mid) mids are prominent, so some frequencies are cut as much as -12db, but part of that is due to the room size. Good steady signal with the mic always at the corner of the mouth.
On/off can be tricky and a tiny plastic screwdriver (stored inside the battery compartment) is required to select the bodypack transmitter's channel and adjust its gain - kind of clumsy.
Comments about Audio-Technica ATW-701/H92-TH Wireless System:
Sorry guys. It's not hypercardioid. For a headset mic, this picks up a lot of room noise, which causes feedback. It's a little boomy sounding compared to wired mics like EV, Shure, Audix, or other wireless mics like VocalPro. I sent it back.
Comments about Audio-Technica ATW-701/H92-TH Wireless System:
I direct a musical each year at the high school where I teach, and we have been growing our collection of wireless mics over the past few years.I am amazed that such quality mics and receiver are so affordable now. We are up to 11 mics - 3 of them are these models. These Audio-Technica's blow our other Sennheiser and Audio-Technica models out of the water.The receivers feel high quality, the mics are clear, and the ability to use 8 channels means it is very easy to expand our system.Great features (like trimming output on the trasmitter pack as well as the receiver) make these a must buy.
Comments about Audio-Technica ATW-701/H92-TH Wireless System:
We bought this unit for use by our pastor for speaking, however the first thing the pastor did was to sing through it, and it got the job done. I was very surprised at the quality. There are a lot of settings and options for channeling, but it worked fine right out of the box. We will see how it holds up over the next few years. Can't bear it for the price.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

"Before He Cheats" was released in 2006 and marked Carrie Underwood's third No 1 country hit. While working on her succeeding album, Carrie Underwood's next single, "Wasted", captured the same success in 2007.

As always, the latest edition of Kimmel's "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" doesn't disappoint -- see the hilariously awful things people have tweeted Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, The Backstreet Boys, Kid Rock, Pharrell and more!
How funny were the tweets John Legend and Darius Rucker read? People can be really mean ... and clever!
We think maybe Mr. "Yeezus" himself could learn something from reading his own posts.

Workers at Dresden Station will move a large transformer from the Illinois River to the plant
MORRIS, Ill. (June 5, 2014) —Workers at Dresden Station will move a 400-ton transformer from a barge on the Illinois River to the east side of the plant property, resulting in traffic restrictions along some public roads. The transformer increases voltage produced in the plant and places it on the electrical grid. The transformer move will take place Friday, June 6. It will begin at approximately 8 a.m. and is expected to be completed by mid-afternoon. Following is the route of the move.• From the Illinois River south on Lock Road to Collins Road.• Southeast on Collins Road continuing south on Dresden Road to Lorenzo Road.• East on Lorenzo Road to Cottage Road.• North and then west on Cottage Road to County Line Road.• North on County Line Road and west onto the Dresden Station property.
Traffic will be restricted along the route as vehicles will not be able to move around the transformer due to the size of the 80-foot specially-designed transport trailer. Exelon Nuclear has obtained all the proper permits and will comply with all requirements associated with moving this large and heavy piece of equipment. Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 1,800 megawatts at full power – enough carbon free electricity to power more than 1.2 million typical homes. Dresden Unit 1, which began commercial operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2013 revenues of approximately $24.9 billion. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers. Exelon's utilities deliver electricity and natural gas to more than 7.8 million customers in central Maryland (BGE), northern Illinois (ComEd) and southeastern Pennsylvania (PECO).

Read: The Damage Being Done To The Game
Mark Spector has more on this at Sportsnet and says that the mistakes of Gary Bettman, such as expansion where the owners were paid a fee to enter the new league, haven't exactly worked out. "The collective financial losses of sunbelt teams over the years will one day surpass their sum total in expansion fees gobbled up by Original 21 owners. Perhaps they have already."

The seat covers were first class. Well made and fit perfectly and installation was straight forward. I would purchase them again, but they are so well made I doubt that the need for new seat covers will arise.

Tom Ford isn't exactly synonymous with practical; the man doesn't need to be. But his new Lip and Cheek Stain ($48) in Tainted Love is the most useful beauty product we've stumbled upon this season.There's no shortage of multiples on the market--creams, sticks, and liquids promising to punch up the natural color in your lips and cheeks--but Ford's, armed with acai oil and actual cherry extract, actually feels special. On your cheeks, it delivers the kind of dewy pink glow one scores post-workout, blending into your skin like a natural blush-meets-highlighter. On your lips, it begs for layering. One coat makes them look like they've just been bitten, or perfectly sunburned. Two or three coats later it turns wine-colored, but still sheer enough that it rubs off evenly over the course of a night.
And if we're being totally candid, we've even tried it on our eyelids to score a slightly pink--but not-at-all sickly--hue for the ultimate rosy winter look. So while $48 might sound like a lot for a lipstick, or a blush, or a highlighter, or an eye shadow, it's a bargain for the four-in-one.

|Chisholm Invited to Redskins' Rookie Camp
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Monday, 29 April 2013 06:46
Former Appalachian State University running back Rod Chisholm (Charlotte, N.C./Independence) has been invited to the Washington Redskins' upcoming rookie camp, which will be held Friday-Sunday (May 3-5) at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va. Should the Redskins be impressed by Chisholm's
performance at the rookie camp, the team can offer him a free-agent contract to remain with the organization. If he does not receive a contract offer from Washington, Chisholm will remain a free agent and free to sign with any National Football League team.
Chisholm rushed for 398 yards and three touchdowns in three seasons as a Mountaineer. A talented running back, Chisholm's career was riddled by injuries and other setbacks. He redshirted as a true freshman in 2008, missed the entire 2011 campaign after failing to meet NCAA academic eligibility requirements and, after earning the starting assignment during the 2012 preseason, sustained a hand injury in the season opener at East Carolina and was limited to just 41 carries as a senior.
However, despite the on- and off-field misfortune, Chisholm's perseverance and leadership skills made him one of Appalachian State's most popular players among teammates, coaches and fans. Most notably, after being academically ineligible as a junior, he not only regained his eligibility but earned a spot on the Appalachian State athletics' academic honor roll. He was voted a team captain by his teammates in 2012.
On Saturday, five other members of Appalachian State's 2012 Southern Conference championship squad secured spots on NFL rosters. Punter/place kicker Sam Martin (Fayetteville, Ga./Starr's Mill) was selected by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round (165th overall) of the NFL Draft and defensive back Demetrius McCray (Covington, Ga./Newton) was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars two rounds later (seventh round — 210th overall). Shortly following the conclusion of the draft, linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough (Decatur, Ga./Cedar Grove), running back Steven Miller (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) and defensive back Troy Sanders (Chester, S.C./Chester) agreed to join the Redskins, Lions and Atlanta Falcons, respectively, as free agents.

More than 10,000 lake sturgeon will be released into the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries Tuesday, part of an effort from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to restore the endangered species.
DEC announced the move in a press release issued Friday.
DEC will release 7,000 of the fish into the St. Lawrence River at Ogdensburg at the Greenbelt boat launch off Riverside Avenue; the rest will be divided among the Salmon, St. Regis and Raquette rivers.
This magnificent fish species was classified as threatened in New York state nearly 40 years ago, but stocking continues to help reverse population declines that occurred earlier this century, said Judy Drabicki, DECs Region 6 director.
DEC said the fish once flourished along the states northern border and provided large commercial harvests near Buffalo. It also said the fish could be found across the state, including Lake Erie, the Niagara River, Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, Lake Champlain and several St. Lawrence River tributaries.
According to DECs news release, sturgeon eggs were collected from mature fish at the New York Power Authoritys Robert Moses-Robert H. Saunders Power Dam in Massena this spring. After being fertilized, the eggs were transported to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service fish hatchery in Genoa, Wis., where the hatched fish were nourished until they were large enough to be stocked back into the wild. Some of the fertilized eggs were taken to the DEC Oneida Hatchery for hatching, raising and release into other New York waters.
The department was aided in the effort by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, NYPA and U.S. Geological Survey.

"You cannot ask for a better student-athlete," said Lady Demon head coach Patric DuBois. "Andrea is the kind of athlete and person that coaches dream of coaching. She has been a joy to be around and work with and I'm sure our relationship will continue over the years."
Nedorostova has had a standout career at NSU, compiling a 56-18 singles record and a 65-10 doubles record. She is currently tied for second in the NSU career doubles wins ledger and is just three wins away from taking over as the winningest doubles player in Lady Demon history.
Her 56 singles victories also rank high in the NSU record books, tying for fifth all-time.
The Brno, Czech Republic native has the highest doubles winning percentage of any Lady Demon to date (86.7) and the seventh-best singles winning percentage in program history (75.7).
"Andrea's record speaks for itself," said DuBois. "She has always worked hard and has always been a great teammate. She does what is best for the team and she has been a great leader this year. She is always the first one at practice, the last one to leave and does things on her own time to be in even better shape."
Nedorostova earned All-Louisiana, All-Southland doubles and Academic All-Southland recognition her freshman, sophomore and junior seasons and was an All-Southland singles selection her freshmen and junior years.
The senior is as accomplished in the classroom as she has been on the court, having collected a myriad of academic honors during her time at NSU. She has been a member of the SLC Commissioner's Spring Academic Honor Roll every year so far and has made the NSU President's and Dean's list on several occasions.
Last spring, Nedorostova was the recipient of the Michael Peter Manno Endowed Leadership/Service Award in Communications, an honor that is presented annually to a communications major at NSU who demonstrates excellence in leadership and exhibits the potential to become a leader at NSU and in the field.
"Andy is a 3.9 student and has been an extraordinary student all four years," said DuBois. "She has been accepted into the University of Texas Communications graduate program, which is a very prestigious communications program so that really says a lot about her academically."
NSU will honor Nedorostova in a Senior Day ceremony on Sunday prior to the start of the match.

Ebony Oxide Formica Laminate
What is the difference between Vertical Grade and Standard Grade laminate?
Laminate is made in many different grades intended for specific uses. For practical purposes we've narrowed this down to two categories; Vertical and Standard Grade.
Vertical Grade is ideal for use on low wear surfaces such as cabinet faces and sides, doors, furniture, etc. It is a little thinner than standard grade and thus, a thinner line will be visible at the edges.
Standard Grade, a.k.a. Horizontal Grade, is a little thicker and typically is used for higher wear areas like countertops and desk tops.

Home > Preschool > Preschool Community
tjlove December 9, 2008
Most of the preschools I've looked at have a minimum starting age of 2 years and 9 months. That's how old my daughter will be next fall when preschool will start for her (if there's a spot).
Part of me feels that she'll be too young. She's in a wonderful, small daycare now so why would I move her? But I also know how much she'll change in a year and think she'll be ready for a change of pace.
My ideal situation would be to have her in preschool part time and at the daycare the other days.
I guess my question is this: How did other parents determine the right time to start preschool? How do you know if/when your child is ready? What did you factor in to your decision?
Thanks in advance for sharing!

The Importance of Serial Console
January 16, 2013 by brd · 2 Comments
I have long been a huge fan of having serial console on my servers–it can really save the day when a mistake is made. Yesterday, one of my coworkers botched the sshd_config in an upgrade of a server, so the server came up fine, but without sshd. As a result, the system was not accessible for remote login via the network.
Over the years, I have done serial console in many ways. I began with a single null modem cable between the back of two servers. Next, I utilized a RocketPort multi-port serial card with 8 serial ports on it. These days, I have moved on to employing big serial console servers such as those made by OpenGear, providing up to 48 ports. They also have ancillary features such as providing a Nagios platform and Environmental monitoring.
No matter your physical connectivity, I recommend using Conserver. This helps by logging what is happening on the console, which can be very handy if you need to see what happened in the past whether it be a function of the system, or to see who did what. It also provides multi-user access, so you can watch while someone else is working and both of you can collaborate on fixing a problem.
In order for the previous technologies to be useful, the servers require configuration as well. The first step is to configure the BIOS for serial console redirection. Once this has been performed, the OS will need to be configured to present a console login via the serial port. The FreeBSD Handbook explains how to do this Here.

HOUSTON, Texas (KPRC) - Your refrigerator is supposed to keep your food cold, but a Houston woman said her fridge got so hot it turned into an oven.
It's a problem the manufacturer has known about for years. The defect has been documented in LG and Kenmore French-door refrigerators made since 2005.
The flaw prevents the lights inside the refrigerators from turning off when the door is closed, essentially turning the refrigerator into an Easy Bake Oven.
"It cooked the milk, melted some other stuff ... and it was a blast of heat when he opened the door," explained Sorcha Hysmith of when her husband opened the refrigerator door one morning.
When they closed the door to their LG refrigerator the night before, the lights inside never shut off. The sockets started burning, causing charring and the plastic housing actually melted.

Intro: Becoming a first time home buyer is a dream come true. But a home buyer's inexperience can cause them to make some pretty big mistakes.
Take VO: The number one, most common mistake first time homebuyer's make is failing to look at their total house payment. There's much more to a mortgage payment -- like property taxes and insurance premiums. A $1,500 homeowner's policy can add $125 dollars to your monthly mortgage payment.
"A bigger house means higher maintenance, electricity ... maintenance costs as well as insurance and taxes ... and so on and so forth."
"That's what is making me short sale my place now. My maintenance is $530 a month ... it's almost like a mortgage."
"Don't go overboard thinking you're going to make money on the house. Look at it as a place to live and hopefully bring up a family in a good environment."
Did you find the perfect home at the perfect price? Did you get pre-approved to buy that house? If not, you're certainly not alone. Going house hunting before getting your financials approved is a mistake many first time homebuyer's make.
"Just kinda rushing, you know, I think, haste makes waste and I'm finding myself ... I'm probably going to regret moving too fast."
"You don't wanna go shopping for that million-dollar home when you're only qualified to the buy the $100-thousand dollar home, so it's best to be prepared in what you're going to be approved for, rather than getting your hopes up or step outside the boundaries of what you can afford."
Buying a home is the largest single investment of your lifetime. So, before shopping for a home, make sure you can actually qualify for financing by getting pre-approved.
Wipe out your entire savings to buy a home? Putting 20% down is a smart financial move when buying a home ... If you don't use all your savings.
When you have no savings and can't meet basic needs in other budget categories…you've overextended yourself financially. Experts agree that no house is worth the risk of living on the edge. So, either buy a more affordable home or look to into monthly mortgage insurance.
Want a new car to sit out in front of your new house? Of course you do, but don't buy anything until the home purchase is complete. In this tight lending environment, lenders pull credit report before the closing to make sure the borrower's financial situation hasn't changed since the loan was first approved. Any new loans or moves that show on your credit report can jeopardize the closing. A very tough lesson to learn, especially first timers.
"The most important thing is that you do have a roof over your head and that you feed your family, ya know. Because what happens on the outside of the house is not as important as what happens on the inside of the house."

But I did have a lovely cafe lunch. I met some of my colleagues at Park Cafe in Kadriorg. Kadriorg translates as Katherine's Valley and the park and the palaces were built upon the orders of Russian Czar Peter I in early 1700s (Swedish Kingdom, to whom both Estonia and Finland 'belonged' at the time, lost Estonia and parts of Finland to the Russian Empire in 1710 after loosing the Nordic War). A classic Viennese style cafe was opened in one of restored buildings in the park early this year, and it's become one of my regular places, especially during the weekend, when one can walk around in the surrounding park. Here's the cafe:
The place is run by a young couple - the wife is Estonian and the husband German, who's got the German 'konditormeister' certificate. We visited the place during its first opening week, and were slightly disappointed then - the menu was combining cakes, soups, and salads, and wasn't really saying anything. Within few weeks, however, they downsized the menu, which now has just a huge range of cakes, tortes, sweet and savoury pastries, as well as hand-made chocolate truffles and ice-creams. Much, much better:
And finally, here's my lunch (and the only afternoon meal I had) yesterday. A cup of elujõu tee or 'life strength herbal tea' (peppermint, stinging nettle leaves, marigold, blackcurrant leaves, iron grate), a ham and cheese croissant and a slice of very nice sour cherry torte:

I'm 28 years old married with children and making about 45,000/yr. I'm still undecided if the military is best way to go to help me with paying my remaining federal student loan balance and hoping to continue my study to get at least BA degree. I have associate degree in computer science and I heard if you have 60 college credit I can be an E3 rank which is pay a little more compare to E1. I'm interested in joining the army national guard so this way I can still keep my civilian job to support my family and study while I serve in the army. I think 45,000/yr is decent income maybe for single person, but with 2 children definitely not enough income specially living in NJ - NY area.I just want to make sure that I'm making the right decision. Any advise or suggestion is greatly appreciate it.

Re: Military career
Some ways to save money once you enlist...
-Can I assume you're paying out the nose for health insurance? You can get on TriCare Reserve Select once you enlist. It is $197.76 a month for family coverage.
-You can also get anywhere from a 10-20% discount from your cellphone provider, once enlisted.
-Hook up with USAA...there's a chance you'll get a much better auto insurance rate than what you have now.
(Do you work in IT and if so, for how long? There are lots of opportunities for your line of work in the tri-state area...as well as government work. Finish your BA, and you've greatly increased your marketability for a government job. PM me sometime if you want some more info on that.)Last edited by SteveLord; May 12th, 2011, 01:36 PM.

Re: Military career
Since you have 60 credits why not go officer? The pay is better and from what I know the state is lacking on signal officers. If your lucky enough to get an AGR gig you will be making at a lot more then 45g per year. I'll tell you this. Better make the choice soon because the older you get the harder it is to PT. The body just starts to break down and there is not much you can do about it. You're young enough to do 20 active if that's something you might consider. Look over the pay scales for active duty O1. But if you think that might be too much, what I can tell you from someone who is in the IT field, in the NJ guard. It was the best thing I ever did with my life. Another thing to look into but I'm not sure if they still do it. There used to be programs where as if you signed up for a certain amount of time, the military would pay off your student loan. Also depending on the MOS you might be able to get a bonus. There is an AGR WO2 slot open right now in the 50TH IBCT that I honestly don't see anyone filling anytime soon as the MOS required is Signal and we only have 3 MOSQ warrants in the state. One is a CW3 going for his 4 and he can't take that gig even if he wanted. The other two WO's are in JFHQ, one is MOSQ and the other is away at school as we speak. She is not going to take that gig as she is currently a GS employee for JFHQ and would not give up the money from that gig. So long story short you might be able, with the 60 credits get into a WO program pretty quick. I think this job is going to be open for a long time. They want me to take it but I too am a GS employee and have too much time invested to leave now.
