Flower Seed
Please note: the character following each category describes the life cycle of the plant, (A) = Annual, (B) = Biennial and (P) = Perennial. (A, P) means there are some varieties of both Annual and Perennials within that category.
Annual (A) plants are those that complete their entire life cycle within one year or less. They are usually planted in the spring, flower through summer and fall, then die with the first frosts of winter. Their brief stay is a brilliant one, making them among the most popular of plant choices for the garden or yard.
A biennial (B) will grow from seed, producing stems and leaves in the first season and flowering the next season, then the plant dies.
A perennial (P) will live in the garden for years. The stems will die down each winter and new shoots will appear in the spring. After perennials are established in one location they can be divided and moved to another location.
Please Note: Before you make your biennial or perennial selection, be sure that the plants you are ordering can withstand the variations of climate and temperature of your region. First, determine your hardiness zone. Then, be sure to order plants with a zone that is equal or inferior to yours. For example, if you are in zone 3, order plants with a hardiness zone of 1, 2 or 3. Of course, this does not apply to annual flowers and vegetables which are not hardy.

Google kicked off its annual Google I/O developer keynote in a big way Wednesday by announcing a new version of the Android operating system, a new tablet, a media streamer, and Google+ updates, along with news on the company's Project Glass. We don't have much in the way of details right now, but here is what we know so far:
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
Jelly Bean is the next update to the Android OS (Given the revision number 4.1 versus the 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich release of a couple of months ago.). Project Butter is the first phase of Google's attempt to improve Android's performance. With Project Butter, scrolling and swiping animations should be smoother than they are on older Android versions.
Jelly Bean uses a new search interface its calling "cards" to make it easier to read and digest certain types of information. As an example, if you search for the weather forecast, search cards will provide an attractive display that shows the weather conditions, temperature, and forecast in a Siri-like display.
Search cards can show things like answers to questions and image search results. It also works with Android's voice search feature.
Other Jelly Bean 4.1 improvements include an upgraded camera app and the ability to send photos and videos from one phone to another via Google Beam.
Google also announced that Jelly Bean will come to the Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S2 smartphones and to the Motorola Xoom tablet in mid-July.
Android O/S Activations
Google began its keynote address with some figures on Android activations. So far, it's hardware partners have sold in excess of 400 million Android-based devices, and that number is increasing with more than 1 million Android phone or tablet activations every day. At last year's Google I/O, the company announced that 100 million Android devices had shipped so far.
We have a lot more information to come, so stay tuned!

So I received an uncharacterized entry level separation from the Air Force back in 2008 with a narrative reason of personality disorder. I really don't have any type of disorder, I just really think they gave me a personality disorder on my DD 214 to cover themselves. Anyhow I voluntarily went to a psychiatrist and they said I was normal and had no personality disorder. My question is if I have any chance of being able to enlist in my state's NG or do I have to try and appeal what the Air Force gave me?

Re: Air Force RE-2C JFX
You need to engage an NG recruiter to see if characterization and re-code is waiverable. Also, when it comes to narrative and characterization of a DD214; those are the hardest things to change. Getting an upgrade is the most common.
Re: Air Force RE-2C JFX
I have the same separation, with the same character of service: Entry Level Separation; Uncharacterized service; JFX; 2C. I couldn't handle my daily duties in basic training simply due to home sickness. Today, I regret getting out. Not completeing military service, as I swore to do, has left emptiness in me. Today, I've lived alone and have completed college. I would love to get back in, but I have been told that I really hurt my chances. It's something I just may have to deal with, but I really would like to get the ELS reviewed, and perhaps get back into the military and complete what I once set out to do.
Re: Air Force RE-2C JFX
Officer, pardon my ignorance, but why a NG recruiter? Thx.Last edited by ChanelleNorman; August 25th, 2012, 05:21 PM.

Re: Air Force RE-2C JFX
Let me just tell you what was said to myself a few years ago and that is there is more to happiness and life than just a DD-214 form.
Re: Air Force RE-2C JFX
RE-2C JFX separations are waiverable after 24 months of waiting from the date of separation. However, the narrative reason for separation will play a key role in re-enlisting. Ultimately, a National Guard recruiter will be able to verify a Prior Service applicant based on the criteria established by each state.

NORFOLK - A second-period surge carried the Norwood-Norfolk hockey team to a 7-4 win over Tupper Lake on Friday at Dominic Zappia Arena in the first round of the Section 10 Division II playoffs.
The Icemen improved to 11-8-2 with the win and will now get set to travel to Ogdensburg next Wednesday to take on second-seeded OFA starting at 6:30 p.m. The game will mark the fourth meeting of the season between the two with the Icemen having posted two one-goals wins and a tie.
We did what we had to do tonight to win and now we have to try to get past Ogdensburg, said coach Paul Durant. We had three close games against and Im sure its going to be another tough one on Wednesday.
In the win over the Lumberjacks (1-19-1), the Icemen built a 3-2 in the first period before breaking the game open with three goals in a four-minute span early in the second. The Lumberjacks battled back to make it 6-4 with a pair of goals just 41 seconds apart late in the third before Austin Cousineau sealed the win when he converted off an assist from Dan Fyckes with just 43 seconds left in regulation.
Cousineau finished with two goals and three assists in the winning effort. Zeb Brown generated two goals and two assists. Troy Kovach also broke through for a pair of goals while Cody Smith netted a singleton. Brandon Short and Tristan Harvey each drew a pair of assists while Tyler Fobare logged a solo helper.
Ryan Thomas and Brandon Richards combined to make six saves sharing crease duties for the Iceman while Marcus Richer kept the Lumberjacks in contention with a 52-save performance.
Franklin Academy 2, Islanders 1: In the other Division II first round game played at the Malone Civic Center, the host Huskies (9-11-1) overcame an early deficit to turn back the Islanders and advance to a semi-final round matchup against top-seeded NAC regular season champion St. Lawrence Central at the Tri-Town Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Trevor Hughes got the visiting Islanders off to a strong start when he finished off a play set up by Jordan VanBrocklin just 13:26 into the game. Trevor Henderson pulled the Huskies even just over two minutes later off an assist from Trevor Cooley.
Bailey Conklin notched the eventual game-winner at 7:07 of the third assisted by Cameron Daniels and Jake Perry.
Eighth-grader Joey Brown made 19 saves backstopping the win while Cole James handled 19 shots for the Islanders (6-13-2).

Critter Control has Massachusetts offices in Boston, Cape Cod, Central Mass
Armadillo damage most commonly occurs in the southern United States where these animals take up residence in residential areas. Armadillos cause the most damage to Massachusetts gardens and yards, as they use their strong front feet and claws to dig burrows.
Armadillos are known for digging complex burrowing systems below ground, which can take place right in your Massachusetts yard. Armadillos dig to find food, including insects and grubs. You can identify armadillo burrows by looking for disrupted grass or dirt areas. You may find armadillo burrows around your Massachusetts home, or under the home, driveway or deck. If you believe that an armadillo has been digging around your home, contact Massachusetts Critter Control for assistance in getting rid of the armadillo problem.
Armadillos can cause significant damage to Massachusetts yards and gardens. Fortunately, there are several prevention methods that Massachusetts Critter Control can implement to keep armadillos out of your yard or garden. Trapping armadillos and fencing off Massachusetts yards and gardens is the most common practice for effective control of armadillos. Armadillos can also be forced out of burrows within the yard or garden through strong and unpleasant odors. Massachusetts Critter Control can also help to fill any burrow damage in your Massachusetts yard or garden.
If you have armadillo damage in your Massachusetts yard or garden, or suspect an armadillo might be digging nearby, contact a Massachusetts Critter Control professional for help.

A recent New York Times Science article documents the efforts that family clinics and parenting groups are making to get fathers more involved in parenting. However, the issue is not only getting them involved, but in getting the mothers to let them be involved in their own ways. The biological connection that a mother and child share is undeniable but, as the article explains, our social and cultural constraints on fathers, and what is expected of them, can often make parenting confusing and unbalanced.
This article comes only a few days after another article on family relationships in the Times Magazine — one documenting the Obamas' marriage. That article presents the Obamas as committed to one another but also not afraid to have conflicts, experience difficult times, and turn them into "teachable moments." As a recent article in Social Development argues, conflict can actually be productive — if it occurs under the right circumstances. As the authors explain, both the type of conflict (constructive or coercive?) and the type of relationship in which it occurs (positive or negative?) can help predict the consequences of conflict.
So, whether the task is negotiating a balanced parenting arrangement in a society with fairly prescribed gender (and parental roles) or negotiating a marriage, psychology reminds us that conflict can be productive, and the process of working through the conflict can be beneficial to the relationships in the family.

BGA: 49ers at Jets – Part One
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible.
Note: Your feedback suggested you guys preferred BGA to be split into two parts, so we'll deal with the offense first. Defense and special teams will be covered in part two to follow later today…
Coming up, your breakdown of yesterday's loss to the 49ers, together with detailed analysis of personnel groupings and individual performance.
Although the Jets lost 34-0, they were victimized by some unlucky breaks and if not for a play here or there, it would have been a much closer game and probably gone down to the wire. Other than those few plays, the Jets actually played pretty well and, if only they hadn't been playing against such a good team, might have had a chance to extend their lead atop the AFC East.
Only kidding. Join me after the jump as I realistically attempt to cover every angle.
Well, maybe we should have seen this coming. Just like they did in the game following each of the season ending injuries to Jim Leonhard over the last two years, the Jets got absolutely annihilated. Even worse, this time, it was at home. Just embarrassing.
I wrote last week that the Jets' playoff hopes looked bleak without Darrelle Revis and the Jets played like they believe the same thing. My reasoning behind this was that in order to have a really successful season, you need everything to go right. By "everything", I don't actually mean everything but you need as few setbacks as possible and the loss of Revis is such a big setback that you totally lose any margin of error. The Jets could still be competitive against teams like the 49ers, but once they start suffering more injuries, having back-breaking turnovers at the worst possible time and seeing calls go against them, it starts to feel that nothing is going their way.
And then? They quit.
In the NFL, you're going to get days where everything seems to be going against you, but you still can't quit. If you're the head coach and you see your players start to quit, you don't let them. And when you get to the end of the game and the only thing that keeps the deficit below 35 points is that the other team is kind enough to quit too, you'd better be taking action after the game to make sure everyone knows you won't accept that kind of effort ever again.
It's not going to be easy. If this team believes it has nothing to play for, how can you convince them to keep playing hard? Rex has always been derided in the press for emphasizing how much he believes in his team, but if nobody's buying it, do the words just fall on deaf ears?
The 49ers are a good team. Maybe better than good, even if they did lose to the Vikings last week. Time will tell. However, they just punched a Jets team already reeling after last week's news in the face and the Jets' response was to roll over and die.
This is a more talented team than they showed yesterday. In fact, I still believe they have more talent than most of the teams in the NFL, but right now – not just last night but for the last three weeks – they are playing extremely poorly, making mental errors and looking flat, dejected and beaten. A great coach would be able to turn this around. Rex Ryan has achieved some things over his first few seasons, but this will be by far the biggest challenge of his coaching career and could determine whether he coaches in the NFL for the next 10-20 years or, alternatively, how soon his head coaching career will be over.
We'll get into the individual and position group analysis, but practically everybody was at fault in this game – can't anybody step up and make a play to get this team going? I didn't happen in 60 minutes of football yesterday. This won't make for pleasant reading, so you could be forgiven for sitting this one out. After all, is there a single player on the team who could say they didn't take the week off too?
That's three games in a row now where Sanchez has completed less than 50% of his passes. That's not an aberration, it's a worrying pattern. He's throwing downfield more often, but not connecting and this is contributing to accuracy numbers even worse than we've become accustomed to seeing from him over the last few years.
In the last few games, it was almost forgivable because he'd at least been limiting the number of turnovers, but that renewed focus on ball security deserted him just as badly as ever yesterday and it could have been worse.
When your quarterback makes a throw down the seam and hits a linebacker in stride because the receiver isn't close to being open, you have to wonder what he's seeing. Yes, the 49ers have a fearsome pass rush, but he was making these mistakes when he wasn't pressured too.
We knew the Jets weren't going to have a high-powered offense this year, but at worst they were relying on them to string together a few first downs and punt the ball, then lean on the defense to win the field position battle. You'd hope to piece together the occasional scoring drive by getting into a rhythm, making some big plays or capitalizing on defensive mistakes. However, turning the ball over, constantly going three and out and failing to convert any big plays all day is a recipe for disaster. Especially when the defense has an off-day too.
It wasn't until the turnovers started that the game transformed from a scrappy affair with the Jets clinging on (and hanging around waiting for each other to step up and make a play) to an embarrassing laugher and that's where the biggest problem lies. Had the Jets kicked a field goal late in the first half to cut the lead to 7-3, I'm not saying they win the game or even keep it close throughout, but who knows? Even 34-3 looks better than 34-0 and one less reason to feel sorry for themselves and that the world is against them might have at least delayed the inevitable in respect of the team coming apart at the seams. But what happened? The 49ers dropped a bunch of guys into coverage and Sanchez couldn't find anybody open, kept the ball for far too long and eventually lost the ball. What was he not on that play? Say it with me…DECISIVE. Right now, you get Sanchez thinking too much and you can shut him down completely.
As for Tim Tebow, they used him to complete a pass which ended up in an unfortunate turnover and tried to run him to the outside where he was stuffed for a loss. They also used him at least three times to cut block a pass rusher. It's 3rd and one … how about you run Tebow up the middle? That shotgun sneak play never failed in college. Never. Sure, he's not in college any more, but he's not running behind a collegiate level line either (and you can insert a snarky comment there if you want, but that won't make it accurate). Why did it need to be Tebow that flipped that pass over the top to Epps? It's not like they're capitalizing on the defense loading up to stop him from running, because they have yet to establish the threat of Tebow running. They're just over-complicating things for no good reason – and getting Tebow doesn't seemed to have helped matters, it's just distracted the base offense from being well executed and run.
The use of Tebow so far has been awful. They simply aren't making the best use of his skillset. People used to complain about the predictable nature of Brian Schottenheimer's playcalling, but a lot of the time, he was establishing tendencies, which allowed them to make plays when they broke those tendencies to catch out the defense. Sparano seems to have skipped this step and gone straight to the creative-wrinkle section of his playbook. However, the defenses don't know what they're supposed to expect yet, so are just sitting back and reacting to someone who isn't dynamic enough to make things happen unless at least one defender is caught out of position. If things carry on like this it will end up being one-and-done for Sparano with the Jets, just as it was the last time the Jets brought aboard a playcaller who was supposed to transform the offense (Mike Heimerdinger in 2005).
As for Tebow, he does have some abilities. How about trying to make use of them? Otherwise, what the hell was the point in getting him?
Offensive Line
Not to pile on, but a good deal of the pressure the Jets surrendered was attributable not to the line, but to Sanchez himself. As in the example mentioned above, Sanchez held the ball for too long and allowed himself to come under pressure on several key plays. While he was only sacked three times officially, there were two sacks negated by penalties. Perhaps the most telling thing of all was that four of the five were on third down.
However, how can you defend the line when it's largely down to them that the Jets ended up in those situations? You can blame the running back – and I'm sure he deserves some of the blame – but when you manage to average just 2.6 yards per carry, that's not good enough. Even when you're facing a highly-regarded defense.
When evaluating offensive line performance, Nick Mangold stands out practically every week. However, this time, his performance stood out because he kept getting uncharacteristically beaten. An early hold looked like a phantom call and when his man sacked Sanchez it was mainly because Matt Slauson's man drove him into the backfield and Sanchez had to step up. However, there were no excuses later on as he gave up another sack and a couple of pressures. He didn't have anywhere near his usual impact in the running game either. Mangold was saying all the right things after the game and was facing one of the toughest defensive linemen in the NFL in Justin Smith, but you still expect him to set a better example than this.
Other than the play mentioned above, Slauson only gave up one clear pressure, but was bullrushed into the backfield a few times. He had a couple of good run blocks, but overall his impact was minimal. Vladimir Ducasse continued to rotate in and made a couple of solid run blocks without getting cleanly beaten, although they tested him with a few bullrushes too.
Both tackles struggled to restrict the pressure Sanchez was under. Austin Howard got thrown aside for an early sack and was beaten another four or five times, including the play where Sanchez was intercepted after his man got in Sanchez's face and tipped the pass which otherwise looked like it could have gone for a decent gain. D'Brickashaw Ferguson was beaten about the same amount of times as Howard was, although most of it was late in the game. He did surrender a sack, but it was negated by a penalty. Neither tackle had a positive impact in the running game.
Finally, Jason Smith did bait a defender into a penalty flag, but that's the biggest impact he had. He was badly beaten on the inside on one running play.
Running Backs
Offensive line struggles or no offensive struggles, when your 1,000 yard back raises his yards per carry average by going 11-34, you have a problem. Bilal Powell didn't do anything either, but I'm sure he can average three yards per carry. He's a better blocker and pass catcher too, so what are they waiting for? Is Greene being showcased for a trade or something? If so, his value is only going down at the moment, so even that's backfiring.
Maybe the reason they're waiting on Powell is that he's not ready. If he's staying in to block and the 49ers are getting third down sacks, then that's not helping – even if none of the sacks are directly attributable to him. In fact, a few of them were coverage sacks, so where's the checkdown option? Powell was thrown to three times, but did not make a catch.
To be fair to Powell, his did a good job of picking up the blitz in this game, taking Patrick Willis down to the ground on one play, but if the Jets are looking for him to read his blocks better than Greene has so far, then it was worrying to see him cut back inside on the same play where he had a big run in overtime last week. He was stopped for a short gain when he probably should have had an easy 8-10. One thing I will give Powell credit for is chasing a lost cause on Carlos Rogers' fumble return. There were three or four blockers with Rogers, but Powell still made the effort to get back and almost stopped him inside the five.
I wouldn't bank on Jonathan Grimes to save the Jets because he's another back from a zone blocking background, just like Greene, so he'll take time to adjust. Was it a mistake to remove Joe McKnight from the mix at this stage?
Obviously John Conner's return didn't have much of an effect. He didn't get a great deal of playing time, although he had time to drop a pass before going down with yet another hamstring injury. Don't these guys stretch since Sal Alosi had to leave because of the Tripgate Scandal that probably would have been a non-issue if it happened on any other team?
It was a moment that will probably live in infamy as the defining moment of this season and – if things go from bad to worse – maybe even this era. Santonio Holmes caught a low pass, got his foot caught in the turf and – without being touched – threw the ball away and started writhing around on the floor in agony. Carlos Rogers ran it back 51 yards for a score. Let's be honest – at 17-0 early in the fourth, the game was over anyway, but if ever there was an example of "when it rains, it pours" losing Holmes in that manner was it. Holmes, who had been the one bright spot on offense last week, looked to have suffered a serious-looking injury (reports are that it's a possible broken foot, which might not be as bad as first feared) and literally handed the Niners another seven points.
Holmes will no doubt come under fire for letting the ball go in that fashion. You can't do that, no matter how much pain you're in. However, although I agree that the "ballcarrier giving himself up" rule doesn't apply, I've seen an illegal forward pass call in similar situations in the past. This would lead to a loss of down penalty, but the Jets would retain the ball. Even before that play, Holmes had been a disappointment with less than 30 yards on eight targets. That's not much better than handing the ball off to Greene.
To sum up: Holmes throws the ball away and Sanchez holds onto the ball. Only the Jets. Maybe they should just swap positions.
With Stephen Hill and Dustin Keller also out, it was left to guys like Jeremy Kerley, Jeff Cumberland and Chaz Schilens to try and pick up the slack in the passing game. Between them, they actually caught nine of 11 passes for 74 yards. That means Sanchez was just 4-for-18 for 29 yards on passes to everyone else. In fact, if you also exclude Holmes too, he went 0-for-10. Schilens was the pick of the bunch, catching all three targets for 45 yards, but when Holmes isn't producing, the Jets need more than that from their number two. Kerley and Cumberland's six catches went for less than five yards on average, although they did make a couple of nice plays. Cumberland was beaten once in pass protection though.
Patrick Turner was targeted five times and came up empty, including one bad drop on third down. Clyde Gates barely played. He was almost certain to be released tomorrow, but now the Holmes injury could mean he retains his spot for the time being.
Konrad Reuland filled in at fullback again after Conner went down but looked a bit shaky in pass protection, giving up one pressure in his own end zone.
I don't know how serious Dedrick Epps' injury is, but he was probably going to be released on Monday anyway. In fact, unless it's so minor that he could play next week, that's likely to cost the Jets some cap space and cash in the form of an injury settlement. That was a bad fumble in that situation, and – as with Holmes – I don't know if you can excuse him based on the fact that he was hurt on the play. It did look more like an incompletion or down-by-contact than a fumble. The sooner we get the replacement refs back, the better.
We're only halfway through – I'll be back later with a look at the defense and special teams, together with final conclusions…

Unbelieveable Starting Problem and Solution
Close inspection showed the point terminal was barely touching the cap when it was in place. One screwdriver and a repositioned terminal, and starting was a breeze. It runs beautifully, and there is nothing like the sound of a new flattie through drag pipes. The starting system operates flawlessly. I used a non-electric start 65 inner primary, 65 output shaft with re-tapered end, used rod bearings in a hogged out old race, and machined inner for one of the original BDL belt drives with idler. Much hogging of aluminum, and a lot of fitting for the solenoid. I used a tin outer just because I liked the looks of it. Had a lot of trouble getting it all to fit and work together, but right now I feel it was worth it.
It has a 4 speed tranny, 5 gal tanks, swingarm Paugho frame, lowered shocks, disc brakes front and rear, and a late model battery fit into an old saddle tank. I had to modify the clutch arm drastically, and fitting the drag pipes to clear everything including the kick starter was a trial, but it all works. It also has turn signals, horn, etc. for safety reasons.
Then I painted it Seafoam Green!
Now I get to go through the NC title trials. In case you don't live in NC, we have the worst title system for rejuvenating old titleless bikes in the USA. I will use the MCO from Paugho to start the process. It isn't going to be fun.

Do some Good…Get some Awesome. Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project in Merritt, B.C. & Regina, SK
Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project stopped in beautiful Regina, SK and then made it's way West to Merritt, BC! Cheers.
Location, Regina, SK
Volunteers participated in trail building. The goal of the day was to take the first steps in creating an accessible handcycling / recreational trail in Wascana Trails Park. The group removed tall grass, thatch and the top layer of organic matter to expose what will become the trail.
The work was hard and the result was great – approximately 130 meters of 1 to 1.5 meter wide trail was started that day. Over the next eight weeks a crew of trail builders will complete the work, but the connection that these volunteers made to the park and to this new and innovative trail system – the first of its kind in Canada, and possibly North America – was substantial.
Location: Merritt, BC
Red Leaf participants came out to the beautiful city of Merritt, where we hosted a fantastic stewardship event on the Canada Day long weekend in Rotary Park.
Participants dug sod, weeded 6 garden beds, added organic compost, mulched around trees and tidied up the park's flower beds. They also pruned older trees, planted 4 larger new trees, topped up the gravel in the playground and cleaned up 30 bags of litter.
Though the day was hot and the work strenuous everyone put their backs into it! All went home happy with tickets to the Merritt Mountain Fest and the sincere thanks of the City of Merritt, Molson Canadian and Evergreen.

The education to help move you forward is right here in beautiful Colorado Springs. At Colorado Technical University, classes are grounded in the real-world and taught by supportive instructors who are plugged into employer mindsets. Take the next step. Schedule a campus tour and learn more about CTU Colorado Springs.
Classes start
November 15th, 2015
Start Here
Top 5 Programs
Faculty that Care
CTU faculty care deeply about their subject matter and students. Because CTU class sizes are small, you can have plenty of one-on-one interactions.
Committed to Our Military
We are dedicated to helping students who are active military and veterans. Veterans, stop by the VA center to learn about benefits for you and your family.
Get hands-on experience using industry-leading software
Lectures are ideal when discussing general theories. But when it comes to tech, nothing beats hands-on experience. At CTU Colorado Springs, you have plenty of opportunities to dive in and use the same software your future employers use. Better yet, faculty are available to provide direction when questions arise.
See what you can experience first-hand. Schedule a visit.
Don't just learn subjects, try them out
CTU educators constantly look for ways to make your subjects come alive including:
National Security Innovation Competition. The CTU faculty sponsors teams that compete alongside MIT, UC Berkeley, Air Force and others. In 2012 and 2014, the CTU team was one of the top finalists. Better still, the CTU team won the competition outright in 2013.
Live Business Management Strategy game. Students in the College of Business and Management compete against 1250 teams from over 100 colleges including UC Santa Cruz and the University of New Hampshire. The CTU team has consistently placed in the top 20 teams.
Mock trials with real judges. During the last two weeks of class, criminal justice students experience what a real trial is like so they're ready for the court room.
First Responders' Simulation. Security Studies held Operation Skyfall, a simulated airplane crash. Students participated as role-players and staff members so they could meet and interact with first-responders.
Experience CTU for yourself. Schedule a visit.
Combine ground and online classes to fit your busy schedule
Some days it's easier to attend class from home. For other subjects, it's really important to be in the classroom, see the lecture and participate in discussions. So at CTU you have the option of mixing available online and campus classes. You can even split time between the Aurora and Colorado Springs campuses.
This is especially helpful if you're in the military. Take ground classes when you're stationed nearby and online classes when deployed. That way you can stay on course to graduation and still serve your country.
Check out the campus. Schedule a visit.
Your very own team to help you succeed
You can walk in and speak with CTU Colorado Springs Advisors face-to-face whenever you have questions.
Start off with a personal tour. Schedule a visit.
Instructors who live what they teach
Your courses are taught by leading educators like Paul Prentice, former Chief Micro-Economist for the Department of Agriculture. As a result, you don't just learn academic theories. You see how they apply in the real-world. Classes are designed and taught by the faculty themselves so instructors can:

CHCI Fellows and Interns Meet with Secretary Arne Duncan
|View the Facebook Album
CHCI Fellows and Interns met with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on Friday, October 19, at his office in Washington, D.C. to discuss current and future education issues and policies. The 34 young professionals and undergraduate students came prepared with detailed and knowledgeable questions on the current state of education in our country. This event represents the third group of CHCI program participants Duncan has met with in the past two years.
CHCI President & CEO Esther Aguilera introduced Duncan to the group before launching into a discussion on issues that included Race to the Top, No Child Left Behind, the nations' achievement gap, and academic standards. Duncan said he is interested in closing the "opportunity gap" along with the achievement gap. He went on to say that "third grade test scores don't mean anything if the kids don't go on to graduate high school."
CHCI would like to thank Secretary Duncan for his time and CHCI alumni at the Department of Education, Gabriella Gomez and Alejandra Ceja, for facilitating this wonderful opportunity for the interns and fellows.

News PhotoAfrican Union,Army Soldier,Conflict,Former,Horizontal,Horn of Africa,Mogadishu,Photograph,Releasing,Somalia,Uganda,WalkingPhotographer AFPCollection: AFP 2013 AFPA handout photograph taken on January 12, 2013 and released on January 16 by the African Union-United Nations Information Support Team, shows a Ugandan soldier serving with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) walking onto the former football pitch inside Mogadishu National Stadium. Formerly a main base for the Al-Qaeda-allied violent extremist group Al Shabaab, the once impressive stadium was used as a headquarters for the group's operations in Mogadishu, a training ground for their fighters and a site where they executed prisoners and tested and assembled improvised explosive devices (IEDs). After two decades of near-constant conflict, Somalia is enjoying its longest period of peace and growing security since the Al-Qaeda-allied violent extremist group Al Shabaab was driven from Mogadishu in August 2011. Under the Shabaab's draconian rule, social pastimes and sports such as football were banned but residents of the city and elsewhere across Somalia.

Which new features do you want the most?
Having tasting notes for teas go from newest to oldest. Being able to sort your own notes by company.
+1 Having tasting notes displayed from newest to oldest would be very helpful as teas can vary from one year to the next due to climate, weather, annual rainfall, etc.
Searching through a popular tea such as the Golden Monkey (9 pages & 82 ratings) looking for the most recent tasting notes is not very time-efficient.
It would also be helpful to have a question on the "Review this tea" form that asks what year the sample was grown or purchased. Thanks!
It would be nice to be able to add any ingredient when adding a new tea, rather than having to choose one from the drop-down menu. Some ingredients aren't in there so it gives an incomplete description.
I wish the forum search function was better, for example using quotes to get an exact match. If I search for "golden tips tea" I don't want to see golden dragon, gold tea, etc. It's really hard to search for past threads.
I may have missed it, but there seems to be no way to see an overview of your subscribed threads on the website. This would be nice, as I sometimes cannot find back my thread if I want to see if there was anything new yet, and I don't like to always get mails for every thread I replied to.
Ability to share your tasting notes on social media sites.
I would really love an app for Steepster on Android. There are several tea type apps on iPhone already (Tea for iPhone, Tea 2.0), but none of any similar type on Android.
Search should have a "sort by.." option after the search runs. I often have a craving for a certain flavor of tea (just now, I wanted something Roasted), but there is no option to sort within the search by Highest Rated or Sort by Most Popular. I literally have to click on every single result (often 20+ pages) to find the good ones.
I would like it if there was a way to favorite threads so you didn't have to go hunting for them when you want to make a new reply.
Editing a note is still the hardest thing to do on this website. Trying to find a note you've done in the past is what makes it hard. The alphabetical way of doing it seems to be broken.
It still really kills me that I can't rank specific teas that I search. So if I search for Osmanthus, it shows me the teas that match the search, but I cannot sort them by rating or additional data. They don't even have their number ratings visible I think. Is there something I am missing or is this feature completely missing?

This is Week 23 of our 52 weeks of Sharing Memories - A Genealogy Journey for 2012. This is our third year writing our memoirs and childhood memories for our descendants.
If you are just joining us, you can take a peek at the last two years'
of prompts by clicking on the Sharing Memories tab at the top of the
blog. You can jump in at any time and you can skip topics that you don't
like. There are no rules, it's all about getting your memories down on
paper. The prompts are here as a guide to help if you are stuck for
Share your memories here in the comment section, on your own blog, or privately in a journal you keep at home. The important thing is to write.
This week's prompt is Leaving Home. When did you leave home? How old were you? Was it for a job? To get married? To live on your own? To move? My memories of moving out aren't pleasant but not all our memories will be good ones. If we're going to be honest in our writings we need to record those memories too.
I was pretty young when I left home to go to University. My mother had already left me behind two years before when she moved from our small town to a larger city some 4 hours distant. I had just turned 16 and my siblings took turns moving in with me. It's kind of a fuzzy memory but I recall my brother and his wife being there for a bit after my mother left. I think my sister and her husband came to stay with me for awhile too.
Then I spent my last school year from September to May with my mother, and then I was gone. It was the big city of Toronto for me! It was exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. I had nowhere to live as I wasn't accepted into Residence.
My mother and I found a furnished room in a horrible section of the city and I moved in. I had to share the one bathroom with 16 other people, most of them drunks who I was scared I'd meet in the hall at night. I wouldn't use the tub as it was black with filth and mold. There was no shower so I existed on sponge baths the whole time I lived there.
I shared a small kitchen with a young couple who had a tiny baby but there were cockroaches so I wouldn't use that either. Instead I bought a one-burner hot plate which was against the rules, and cooked what I could manage on that.
The door to my room didn't lock properly so I barred it at night with the dilapidated furniture that was in the room. I remember having Bell install my phone and the young service guy expressed his dismay at me living there. He asked if my parents knew I was there and said he would never let his daughter live in such a place. He went on to add that it was a know residence of druggies, winos and prostitutes.
That scared me so I called my mother but she said if I wanted to move I had to find a place on my own because she wasn't coming back to the city for a day of looking for another place that we could afford. She urged me to stay where I was and not to give in to such "silliness". That was her favourite and most often used expression with me.
It was pretty bad living there, but after several months I did manage to find another furnished room that was in a much better area of the city. It was also clean and I only had to share the bathroom with one other person.
Were your experiences leaving home better than mine? Don't get me wrong, I was glad to leave and start my new life, and nothing terrible happened to me but I felt pretty isolated and adrift for quite awhile. My mother never came to visit the whole time I was in University and that added to my feelings of being quite alone in the world. I don't remember any of my siblings ever expressing any concern or interest in what I was doing or how I was doing either.
But in the end it all turned out just fine. And I think I became the strong person I am today because of my early circumstances.

My what a scary first experience on your own! I am glad nothing bad happened while you were there. I am certainly even more grateful that i was so lucky to live in the dorm when i went to college.
- Cassmob (Pauleen) said...
You were very brave then and brave now to tell your story. How sad that you were left to fend for yourself in such a terrible place when you were so young.
- Kristin said...
That was pretty sad all around. I'm glad it worked out in the end. And glad you found a better room before too long!

Style Retrospective: See The Peasant Blouse Over The Years
- 1 of 15
Over the years, we've watched as the blouse's free-spirited, hippie feel has adopted decidedly luxe and refined sensibilities, though it's never lost its carefree insouciance (and still makes us want to wear flowers in our hair). Designers, including Isabel Marant's S/S 13 collection, have recently paid homage to the bohemian blouse too, making us fall in love with this summer staple anew. This easy, warm-weather essential has been embraced over the decades, so click through our slideshow to see its storied past and how current fashion fixtures are styling it.

ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA) - Marymount University is one of the most diverse regional universities and even a small group of student ambassadors is a profile of the school's range of cultures.
"My roommate is Latina and she's from Mexico," explained Kirby Markicich, a junior at Marymount. She's from Franklin, Va., a small town near Virginia Beach where the population is about half white and half black.
Coming to Marymount was a culture shock for Kirby, but one that has helped open her mind. "Coming to Marymount, I feel like I've learned just as much from my peers that I have in class, "she said.
She thinks universities should be able to consider race and ethnicity in their application process. So does Perla Braccio who grew up in Nicaragua and has Nicaraguan parents.
"I did want to experience diversity on campus and see people from difficult cultures. I think affirmative action is good," she said. Braccio thinks her ethnicity may have helped her get into Marymount, but does not believe it was the only factor.
Marymount has a "race blind" admissions process, meaning there's no race box to check. But Chris Domes, the vice president of student development and enrollment says the school does actively recruit minority students.
"We're going to schools that have large minority populations, Hispanic populations, African American populations. We are constantly making sure that those groups of students are working their way through our admissions procedure," said Domes, emphasizing the importance of a diverse student body.
A 2003 Supreme Court decision allows the use of racial selection to achieve a "critical mass" of minority students. But the Supreme Court now is more conservative, and could change course.
If the Supreme Court reverses itself on affirmative action and makes it illegal to consider race and ethnicity, Marymount won't necessarily have to follow the ruling because it's a private university. But students and administrators say that opinion could lead to a less rich learning environment at schools across the country.
"Since Marymount is so diverse, I think it really enhances our campus. The fact that I know people from all over the world really makes my college experience that much better," said Dana Mannarino, a junior from New York City.
