Application Instructions
The Board of Admissions conducts a rigorous and holistic review of each application. To apply to Boston University, you must submit each of the following:
The Common Application
Please complete and submit the Common Application.
Specify a school or college
You must apply to a specific BU school or college and indicate an area of academic interest. To see all of your options, please refer to our Schools, Colleges, and Programs guide. If you have no specific school or subject in mind, we suggest you apply to the College of Arts & Sciences and select "Undeclared" or the College of General Studies. These liberal arts and sciences curriculums give you two years to decide on your field of study.
Please note that admission to BU schools, colleges, and programs is dependent on program size and competition. While you are guaranteed consideration for the school or college you apply to, it's possible that you could be offered admission to the College of General Studies beginning in either the September or January semesters or another BU program for which you qualify. There are a few exceptions:
- The College of Fine Arts
You will be considered only for the program to which you apply.
- Accelerated Medical and Dental Programs
If you apply to one of the accelerated programs in Medicine or Dentistry in the College of Arts & Sciences, you will be considered only for the program to which you applied.
Application fee and materials
Your $80 nonrefundable application fee can be paid by credit card when you submit the Common Application.
Please note that all materials and documents submitted as part of an application for admission become the property of Boston University and cannot be returned.
High School Transcript
Official copies of your secondary school transcripts for all grading periods completed at the time of application must be submitted by a school official. If you are enrolled in an international curriculum with national exams, these results should be submitted as well.
To see the high school/secondary school curriculum recommended for most BU programs, click here.
Homeschooled Students
Boston University encourages applications from students with a wide variety of backgrounds, including homeschooled students. The Board of Admissions attempts to be as fair as possible in evaluating these applicants and ensuring that they are given every consideration in the application process.
It is important to note that we maintain the same academic standards for all applicants (please see our Admissions Criteria). However, we acknowledge that the transcripts of homeschooled students may be different than those of traditional high school students. Along with their applications, homeschooled students should submit as much information as possible describing their curriculum, which may include course descriptions, texts read, and skill levels completed. While these are not requirements, this information can be very helpful to the Board as we examine a student's ability in the five academic areas of math, science, social science, English, and foreign language.
For more information regarding the review of homeschooled applicants, please contact BU Admissions at 617-353-2300.
Guidance Counselor Recommendation and School Report Form
You'll find the Guidance Counselor Recommendation form and School Report Form on the Common Application website.
Teacher Evaluation
The Teacher Evaluation form is on the Common Application website. Please allow enough time for your teacher to write the evaluation and stress the importance of returning the form by the application deadline.
Senior Year Grades
Early Decision Applicants
- All Early Decision applicants are expected to submit first marking period grades, which may be first quarter or first trimester grades, as soon as they are available.
Regular Decision Applicants
- If you are on a semester schedule, please send your first marking period or first quarter grades if available. Your counselor must submit first semester grades once they are available. If you are on a trimester schedule, please have your counselor submit your first trimester grades once they are available. They can use the Mid-Year Report Form through the Common Application.
College/University Transcript(s)
If you're applying to BU as a freshman and have completed college or university coursework, you must submit official transcripts from these courses. If you've enrolled at a college or university as a candidate for a degree, you must apply to Boston University as a transfer student. If you're not sure of your status at the school you attended, please contact the registrar's office at that institution.
Standardized Testing Results
Submit your results from the SAT or the ACT with writing.* Consult the Program Requirements chart for more detailed information.
When you register to take your tests, make sure you indicate on the registration form that you want your official score report sent directly to Boston University. The BU codes to use are:
Your official score reports must be sent to BU directly from the College Board or ACT, even if your scores are recorded on your high school transcript.
*SAT/ACT test scores are not required for applicants to the College of Fine Arts, with the exception of those applying to the Double Degree Programs, Kilachand Honors College, or for any of BU's merit scholarships. The SAT/ACT is not required for College of Fine Arts artistic scholarships.
Score Choice
Boston University participates in the College Board Score Choice program. Although BU allows you to choose this option, we strongly encourage you to submit your scores each time you take the SAT. BU has always and will continue to use your highest SAT section scores in making admission decisions. For more information about Score Choice, please visit the College Board website.
Proof of High School Graduation
Proof of high school graduation will be required of all students who are offered admission to BU prior to enrollment to ensure satisfaction of all state graduation requirements. If you aren't graduating from a regionally accredited high school, submit the results of your Test of General Education Development (GED) or high school equivalency exam.
Additional Supporting Credentials
Please do not submit portfolios, videos, CDs, DVDs, tapes, PowerPoint presentations, or other multi-media materials or artistic work through email. These materials will not be considered by the Board of Admissions or reviewed by faculty. Artistic portfolios and auditions are considered for College of Fine Arts applicants only.
Students applying to BU's Accelerated Medical and Dental Programs must submit:
- Three Accelerated Programs Teacher Evaluation forms—one each from a teacher of English, laboratory science, and either history or a foreign language.
- In addition to the SAT or ACT Plus Writing, applicants for this program must also submit SAT Subject Test results in Chemistry and Math 2 with foreign language recommended.

- Selected finalists for our Accelerated Medical and Dental Programs must participate in an interview at Boston University.
- All students applying for nonperformance majors in the School of Theatre must schedule an interview with that School.
Also, please read the following detailed instructions carefully before beginning your application.
Early Decision Program
Early Decision and Early Decision 2 are binding programs available only for high school seniors applying for September admission. The deadlines to apply to Boston University are November 1 for Early Decision and January 3 for Early Decision 2. To apply for Early Decision, you must submit your completed application and all supporting credentials by those deadlines. Students who apply for Early Decision will receive an admission decision by December 15, and students who apply for Early Decision 2 will receive their decision by February 15. Read more specific instructions for applying Early Decision here.

English is the language of instruction at Boston University. You must be able to understand rapid, idiomatic English and express yourself clearly in speech and writing.
If your first language or the primary language spoken in your home is not English, you must take either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).
For more information on BU's English proficiency requirements, please visit the International Application Instructions page and refer to the English Proficiency section.
BU Applicant Link Account
In order for Admissions to stay in contact with you, it's crucial that you include a valid email address on your application and notify us whenever you change this address. Once your application is processed, we will email you instructions for setting up a secure account on the Applicant Link. This will allow you to:
- check for missing application credentials

Previous Applicants
If you previously applied and were denied admission to Boston University, or if you were offered and declined admission to the College of General Studies, you may reapply only after completing one full academic year of coursework elsewhere.

Came out a gooey mess,no where near the picture. I would use these ingr. to do a regular pizza and then cut into bite size pieces. The flavor was there. Common sense did tell me this wouldn't work.
I used pepperoni,Italian sausage & cherry tomatoes.also I didn't use a full 1/4cup of Italian dressing and I used 2cups of cheese.We called it a upside down pizza ,I didn't cut the pizza dough & it worked out great.Everyone loved it some dipped it in pizza sauce some in ranch dressing
A lighter version of pizza that was a hit with all from the chef to my pickest eaters!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration is laying the groundwork for potential military action in Syria in the coming days, with intelligence agencies readying additional evidence about last week's alleged chemical weapons attack and high-ranking U.S. officials declaring there is "no doubt" that Bashar Assad's regime is to blame.
Administration officials say Assad's actions pose a direct threat to U.S. national security, providing President Barack Obama with a potential legal justification for launching a strike without authorization from the United Nations or Congress. However, officials did not detail how the U.S. was directly threatened by an attack contained within Syria's borders. Nor did they present concrete proof that Assad was responsible.
The U.S. and international partners were unlikely to undertake military action before Thursday, when Britain holds an emergency meeting of Parliament.

Like many technology companies, Microsoft has a focus on collecting and analysing information in order to better understand and serve consumers' needs. In the Computational Ecology and Environmental Science group we have a similarly strong focus - but ours is on information about the future of the planet. In our group we are working on collecting the data, developing the science, engineering the software, and constructing the models necessary to piece together a prediction engine for the environment. Ours is a computational system capable of delivering predictions about key planetary parameters - from biodiversity to carbon, and from the climate to crop yields - in the browser and on the cloud. In this talk I will demonstrate what we have achieved in providing access to environmental data, predictions, and decision support tools 'at the speed of thought'. There is much to be done, but we see a near future where such a prediction engine provides decision makers with the actionable information they need to preserve the planetary conditions we depend upon.

I extracted all of our Domino users to Outlook Address Book and then converted them to a PST file.
Now I have set up the domains in Zimbra, if I could only import PST file to ZimbraLDAP that would be heaven, that would be the migration.
Of course I have to setup passwords for each user by hand..

Because of its easy access, the Mount Gede-Pangrango National Park with its spectacular panorama is a favourite site with visitors. Located in the province of West Java this Park encompasses the peaks of Mt. Gede, Mt. Pangrango. Around these peaks are tea plantations, recreation parks, waterfalls, hot springs, lakes and accommodation facilities within the park as around its periphery. The Park was declared nature conservation area in 1889, although prior to this the Cibodas Botanical Gardens was already established here in 1830, where cinchona (quinine) and coffee were first cultivated to become Java's most prominent exports in the 19th century.
Most notable about the Gede-Pangrango Park are its three very distinct ecosystems: a sub-montane ecosystem (1,000 m to 1,500 m altitude), a montane ecosystem (1,500 m - 2,900 m) characterized by large tall trees, and a sub-alpine ecosystem (2,400 m. and higher), characterized by grassy meadows where the Java edelweiss grows in abundance. It also has a savanna as well as marshland ecosystems.
In 1977 UNESCO declared the Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park a Biosphere Reserve.
Today the Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park covers 15,196 hectares that include Cibodas, Cimungkat, the Gunung Gede-Pangrango Reserve , the Situgunung recreation area, and the forests on the slopes centered on two volcanoes. These are Mt. Gede, (2,958m ) with its gaping crater and fumaroles, and Mt. Pangrango (3,019 m). The two are connected by a high saddle at 2,500 m above sea level.
For more information on eco-tours in Indonesia, please open www.indonesiaecotravel.com
Since the 19th century, the Gede-Pangrango area has been a living laboratory for researchers. The trail on the south-eastern slopes was found by Sir Thomas Raffles in 1811, although the earliest recorded climb of Mount Gede was by C.G.C. Reinwardt in 1819.
Among many points of interest in the park, Bodogol Conservation Education Center offers wide variety of interests. Hanging twenty-five meters above ground, a canopied walkway is one of the park's best attraction although extra precaution should be taken at several points in which the walkway's condition has deteriorated.
Because of the high rainfall here during the rainy season, the Park is closed between December through March when heavy fog and clouds cover the peaks and strong winds prevail especially during February and March. Best time to visit and make the exhilarating climb to the craters is during the dry season between June through September.
Temperatures vary on average around 18°C at Cibodas, cooling down quickly to 10°C at the mountain peaks. When you intend to climb to the peak make sure that you wear warm clothing and sturdy shoes because in the evenings temperatures can be freezing cold.
The main entrance to the Gede-Pangrango Park is through a trail located next to the main gate of the Cibodas Gardens. Cibodas lies just off the main Jakarta-Bandung mountain route pass the Puncak, at Cipanas, some two hours from Jakarta, when traffic is sparse. On holidays and weekends expect the Bogor-Puncak route to be jammed with Jakarta vacationers.

|HHS track continues to improve at Berthoud meet
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
Members of the HHS track and field team faced stiff competition over the weekend as they traveled to the Max Marr Spartan Classic in Berthoud Saturday, April 13.
Of the 23 schools in attendance at the meet, Holyoke represented one of just four teams who compete at 2A or a lower classification. The majority of the competition was from 4A and 5A schools.
Coach Luke Thomas explained the importance of competing at these larger meets with larger schools as it pushes and elevates the performance of the Holyoke athletes.
"A lot of the kids had personal records or season bests, so even though they didn't place, they still had some fantastic times," Thomas said.
In fact, individuals set either personal records or season bests 21 times during the meet. The girls' 4x800 meter relay and the boys' 4x100 and 4x200 meter relays each had their best times of the season as well.
Thomas is especially pleased with how relay teams are performing.
"Those guys are going to look pretty good," Thomas said of the boys 4x100 and 4x200 meter relay teams. "Hopefully both of those teams can make a push to go to state."
Jacinda Krueger had a standout day for the Dragons. Her eighth-place finish in the 100-meter dash, :13.79, scored the only point for Holyoke on the day.
Krueger was also very close to placing in the top eight spots in the 300-meter hurdles as well. Her time of :55.00 was just :0.73 slower than the runner who finished in the eighth spot.
Edgar Cruz's time of :56.51 in the 400-meter dash was within a half a second of placing as well.
Thomas also noted that many of the younger girls on the team were beginning to hit stride.
"We have a lot of young freshmen runners who are trying to find their niche, but we definitely have some that contribute to the relays and help with times," Thomas said.
The weather has been the biggest distraction for the team. Meets have been frequently postponed and practices have been moved indoors to avoid the snow.
"It's been difficult trying to keep focused," Thomas said. "Running inside, you can get shin splints and sore joints and muscles. We just have to play with what the weather gives us."
Upcoming action
Weather caused cancellation of the Combs-Schulz Invite which was scheduled in Wray Thursday, April 18.
The Dragons are still scheduled to travel to the Akron Invitational Saturday, April 20.

Your SPG displays how much air remains in your tank so that you can end your dive well before you get too low. An SPG can either be a mechanical gauge connected by a hose that reads the pressure in bar (metric) or psi (imperial, pounds per square inch) in your tank, or it may be built into your dive computer. Visit your PADI Dive Center or Resort to get advice about the right SPG for you.
It's logical to select your SPG when investing in your regulator, or complete scuba package, and have it attached by the dive professional at your PADI dive shop. If looking at mechanical gauges, be sure to purchase the measuring system you're used to – bar (metric) or psi (imperial).

Question: Why are some beemers called 'oil heads'? Are the heads oil cooled?The fairings on the Cafe racer featured in the CMW catalog seem very moderate and quite nice to me. I wonder what they wiegh. Then we have Ace's newly introduced oil cooler - wonder how much cooling that is able to do.So we could add fairings and liquid cooling and make our bikes real 21st century - right?Well, at the speeds I drive at, it is probably overkill. But then I am still thinking of a bit of fairing, like adding some leg fairings to the front engine crash bar, and a bit of a windshield. Have to wait on tha ' till I finish other projects, but worth thinking about.

Lamb's Pride
The label that Brown Sheep Company is best known by is Lamb's Pride. This line has been the center anchor for this company for the last 30 years. Still available in both worsted and bulky weight, the color palete has grown to 98 in solid, heathered, and monochromatic colors. The classic touch of 15% mohair along with 23 to 25 micron wool, has made this line a staple in every crafter's stash. Lamb's Pride's extreme versatility lends itself very well to knit or crochet garment construction, wet or needle felting, home accents such as rugs and pillows, and as many more as your imagination can dream up.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA9) -- A Department of Defense Inspector General report faults major security controls at access points to Naval installations.
The report doesn't focus on the Navy Yard, and it was ordered prior to Monday's fatal shootings, but it reports that 52 convicted felons had unescorted access to Navy installations due to lax screening measures.
"Commander, Navy Installations Command officials attempted to reduce access control costs" by implementing the Rapidgate program, the report states, but the program, developed and operated by Eid Passport, may actually be costing millions more in enrollment fees that contractors bill back to the Navy.
Rapidgate has, since July 2010, served as the standard identity management and gate-control security system for short-term contractors at Navy Installations.
The report says "unauthorized installation access" put military and civilians at risk.
The inspector general called on the Navy to immediately discontinue Rapidgate.
Contractor employee was convicted drug dealer
One contractor employee was issued Rapidgate credentials despite having a felony conviction for drug sales.
The worker had unescorted access to a Navy installation for 1,035 days before the felony conviction was identified. Another contractor employee had access to a Navy installation for 91 days before Rapidgate identified a felony conviction of indecent liberties with a child.
Additional examples of felony convictions that were overlooked in Rapidgate's public records checks included drug possession, assault, theft, and "throwing a missile at an occupied vehicle."
Seven bases gave access without FBI backgrounding
Public record databases used by Eid Passport were unreliable, the report states.
In the report, Eid Passport acknowledged that "neither the service provider nor its screening providers can guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the data obtained."
NCIS needs NCIC background checks
"Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS) field office personnel stated they plan to run over 3,000 Rapidgate cardholders through NCIC (National Crime Information Center) to determine whether any convicted felons were undetected and granted installation access," the report states.
The report faulted the Navy for not performing a proper business analysis on the security program and said it spent over $1 million in "disallowable costs."
The Navy's officials in charge of security, the report states, defended their contractor-operated security measures and disagreed with the report's findings.

But for a guy who usually resorts to dry wit in stressful situations, Greg is suddenly shooting blanks with Jack, a retired horticulturist--and rather imposing figure. No one is good enough for Jack's first-born daughter, and ... Full Summary >>

After I rebuild my zimbra server for the 4th time, I am finally able to send email to anyone, but I cannot receive emails. I tail my zimbra.log,mail.info,mail.log, /opt/zimbra/mailbox.log, and mail.err and receive no error messages. I made sure that DNS lookup is unchecked in the admin console and made sute that the right ports were forwarded. My DNS is working fine and I do not have any defer message in the message queue in the admin console.
I already Google this issues and tried the following solutions below:

What would be the easiest way to set up zimbra so that for a period of time during the day (say an hour) all incoming mail would be received by Zimbra MTA but not dispatched to the relevant user@domain inbox?
We could use postsuper -H ALL but it would have to be run every second (literally) to hold all email for the time period, right?
Ideally a user would still have inbox access and be able to send email (although maybe not) but just not receive anything. After an hour, the queue is cleared (using postsuper?) and all is well.

Editor's note: This is the fifth installment of "Deer Dilemma," a WTOP series about the controversial deer hunt planned for Rock Creek Park.
Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – Those living in the region have likely been involved in a deer-car crash or know someone who has.
As WTOP Garden Editor Mike McGrath puts it: "Deer are really bad at crossing the road."
Eric White used to have regular, frustrating encounters with deer as he drove home from work.
"There were four or five deer that were strolling up and down the street when I would come home at night," he says.
White, who lives off 16th Street NW near Rock Creek Park, says the deer he used to see a few years ago wouldn't move out of his car's way no matter what he tried.
The first deer struck and killed by a car in Rock Creek Park was reported in 1989. Since then, the National Park Service says the deer population has grown.
Neighboring Montgomery County in Maryland counts about 2,000 deer-car crashes every year, and Rob Gibbs with the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission-Montgomery Parks says that number would be higher if it wasn't for controlled hunts.
"We see a lot of injured deer, so sometimes when they're hit they're killed, sometimes they're just injured and they go off and die from their injuries, maybe a slow unpleasant death," says Gibbs.
"For the first seven years that we were doing managed hunts in our first three parks, we monitored the deer-vehicle collisions right around those parks, and we saw anywhere from a 60 to a 90 percent reduction in deer-vehicle collisions in the roads right around the perimeters of those parks," he adds. "So as the deer population came down we most definitely saw a reduction in deer-vehicle collisions and that was our No. 1 concern."
According to the Insurance Information Institute, most deer-car crashes happen during the months of October, November and December.
If someone sees a deer in their path while driving, the institute suggests braking firmly but staying in the current lane, because swerving could cause an even more serious crash.
Fear of the aftermath
Those who are fighting the plan to shoot deer in Rock Creek Park are concerned about what they might see during and after the hunt.
"We are very afraid that when the hunting and killing of these animals begins, we will have a mass exodus of deer from the park, we will have deer (rampage) through our neighborhoods and we will also have wounded and dying deer on our streets and in our backyards," says deer hunt opponent Carol Grunewald.
"This is not something we feel we should be paying for as taxpayers, this is not something we want to witness, this is not something we want our children to see. And even if we don't see it, we will know that it's happening in this park. It will ruin the tranquility and serenity of this jewel in the national park system."
Controlled deer hunts have been going on in many Montgomery County parks this winter.
Recently, an injured deer was seen in a park in the Wheaton area. The group In Defense of Animals says it looked like the deer had been shot, but the animal was never captured to find out if that was indeed the case.
"I'm not aware that we've ever had any deer from any of our operations wander out of the park injured," says Gibbs.
He says deer that are killed are removed from the parks. The meat is then donated to local food banks. Gibbs says over the years in Montgomery County, 176,000 pounds of meat has been donated to the hungry.
The National Park Service says if the hunt in Rock Creek Park happens, officials plan to donate as much deer meat as possible to the needy.

St. Louis (KSDK) -- A St. Louis man already on supervised release admitted to trying to pass a counterfeit check.
The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Eastern District of Missouri said Rodrigues Cosey pleaded guilty to attempting to cash a counterfeit check at a Webster Groves credit union. The bank personnel was suspicious and called Webster Groves police.
Cosey was on supervised release for a 2009 federal conviction for a similar incident.
He faces 24 months in prison for violating his supervised release. He faces up to 10 years in prison and fine of up to $250,000. Sentencing for both matters will take place on February 26, 2013.

This week's cook, Duane Reineke, doesn't just like to cook; he likes to hunt for what he cooks. Duane and his wife, Rhonda, live in Livermore. He is the Meat Department Manager at the Humboldt Hy-Vee and Rhonda works for the U.S. Postal Service. They are the parents of two daughters: Ashley, who lives in Titonka and Allyssa, who lives in LeMars; and the grandparents of three. As you can probably guess, Duane's hobbies are hunting and cooking the harvest. Rhonda enjoys sewing and being with her grandchildren.
Duane stresses that the care of wild game after harvest is just as important as the recipes used to prepare it. This will ensure the best eating experience. After harvest, remove the entrails and cool the meat as quickly as possible. For large game, such as deer or moose, removing the hide aids the cooling process. Wild game can be substituted for domestic meat in any recipe.

I am told the road from Damascus International Airport is not very safe (in the days after my arrival, rebels would attack the airport several times). Instead, I enter Syria via Lebanon, zigzagging through fog-covered mountains, as I, a colleague, and a driver make our way past small towns and agricultural terraces to the border.
At the customs gate, a long line of cars queue for entry into Lebanon, squeezed full of whatever small baggage families have managed to take with them. Our side of the road is much quieter.
Exit stamps in hand, we enter some 5km of rocky, red-earthed no-man's land between the Lebanese and Syrian borders, lined with shrubby mountains and a billboard of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad reading: "I believe in Syria!"
Our last stop before entering Syria is the Duty Free shop, offering everything from Swiss chocolates to stuffed animals and flat screen TVs. The adjoining Dunkin Donuts does not sell any doughnuts.
Once across the border, we travel another 45 minutes on the Beirut-Damascus route to get to town. It is relatively safe, geographically stunning, and just before Friday prayers, mostly deserted. We pass a shepherd and his large flock and several sleepy checkpoints where soldiers wearing jackets to keep out the light rain wave us by without much hassle.
As we drive past the Mezze neighbourhood of Damascus, which, months ago, was home to the first demonstrations in the city, we hear the sound of shelling in the distance.
"We have learned to make out these sounds," the driver says. "We know now if it is a mortar, artillery or tank."
We pull into the central Umayyad roundabout, where a withered Ministry of Defence building stands blocked off by barriers, sheets draped over its front exterior to cover the damage it suffered in October when rebels detonated two improvised explosive devices first outside, then inside the building, before occupying it, engaging in a five-hour fire-fight with government security forces and eventually being driven out.
My hotel on the opposite side of the roundabout offers rooms at an unbeatable rate: US $1,100 for one month, including breakfast and internet. I unpack in my cold room and check my email:
"Asma Basher, first lady of Syria" is offering me a proposal and asking me to contact her on her personal email address for more details. Even in war, there is spam.
It is Friday night. The streets are quiet - ever quieter since rebels tried to take the capital in July. Some restaurants and shisha cafes still have clientele, but many shops are closed and impromptu checkpoints appear on previously unguarded corners.
They are manned by armed men in jeans and camouflage jackets. In one case, the man at the intersection wears a suit and tie, a Kalashnikov casually slung across his shoulder. I walk past a park in the up-scale Abu Rumanah neighbourhood, where a mortar fell earlier in the week, shattering the windows of two parked cars and spraying an adjacent van with shrapnel - the devastation left on display like a souvenir.
Inside the city's fancy restaurants, the war seems far away, but there are small reminders: hand-written stickers adjust the prices on the menu - everything is more expensive now, especially food.
The exception is the Western-style shops and malls, where most store-fronts flash 70 percent off signs – there are few customers for jewelry and fancy shoes these days.
In the historic Old Town, tourist sites are closed, and sandbag-protected checkpoints are going up. Amid the cobbled streets of the souq, an old man sits on a stool outside the sheesha shop his grandfather opened decades ago. His is the only shop open in this part of the market. Most businesses close on Friday - especially in light of the increased insecurity on the most popular day of protest. But he is desperate for a customer. His shop used to bring in 100,000 Syrian pounds a day; now he's lucky if he makes 6,000.
Unemployment has skyrocketed as factories shut down and businesses struggle to stay afloat, due to conflict, an exodus of tourists, and international sanctions. Medicines are lacking in the pharmacies and food prices have doubled and tripled in some cases. One grocery run can now cost a civil servant her month's salary. Some items, even flour, can be hard to find in the supermarket at times. And as the cold sets in, oil used for heating, known locally as mazout, has been unavailable on the market for more than a week. Many gas stations have long queues.
Aid agencies and local charities have struggled to keep up with the quickly increasing needs, and some people are inevitably left behind. At the offices of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent's Damascus branch, now focused on helping people displaced by the violence, two older women beg for assistance for their families. They have not been directly affected by the conflict, but their sons have been out of work for eight months. Their families, they say, have eaten nothing but bulgur (cracked wheat) cereals for days.
"Charities use to help the poor," said one Damascene. "But now everyone is poor."
Damascus is increasingly full of Syrians who have fled violence in other parts of the country. At the offices of a small aid agency, formerly middle class people wait patiently for plastic bags of food. When the weather was warmer, some displaced people slept in public parks in the city. Now they are forced to find shelter in schools and public buildings that are quickly filling up.
Still, their conditions are far better than those living in areas directly affected by fighting, where according to one UN official who visited rebel-controlled areas recently, "you have no basic services, no fuel, no electricity, no water, absolutely nothing."
A military helicopter whizzes overhead as I have lunch in the office garden. An imam's voice echoes from a nearby loudspeaker, interrupted by intermittent shelling. The sound of shelling has become a normal part of daily life, but sometimes it sounds as though it is being launched from your balcony. When it is unusually loud or close, people look to each other and shudder. At an outdoor cafe, the waitress makes the sign of a cross on her chest, as customers wonder whether they should move inside.
"Every time I hear that, I wonder how many children died this time?" one aid worker says.
The news this evening reports heavy fighting in and around the capital, with 21 dead. You would not necessarily know it unless you watched TV. Even when the fighting is so near, Damascus can feel like a bubble.
Syrian TV replays daily a patriotic military video that shows soldiers training, military helicopters taking off and ships firing rockets. When it ends, the next segment is a cultural history of the Old City.
People still take their children to the park in an attempt to maintain some normality in their lives. But the unease is palpable.
Important government installations are blocked off by cement barriers or steel rods joined in a star-like shape. While movement around Damascus is still fairly easy, there are an increasing number of checkpoints that can seriously slow down traffic, especially in the evening.
In this atmosphere, one peaceful activist opposed to the government has prepared his children to be orphans - putting money aside, uploading all his important documents online, preparing visas for his family, and giving his wife instructions on what to do if he is arrested or killed.
But in the midst of it all, Syrians remain a strong and welcoming people. At an empty restaurant in the Old City, a smartly dressed waiter insists a foreign visitor's drink is on the house, despite the hardest economic times suffered in the country in decades.
When the customer protests, he reminds her of an Arab saying: "A small home can hold 1,000 friends."
Still, many see the future as bleak, putting faith in God that the situation will improve. Ultimately though, they are forlorn.
"Sometimes I wish I hadn't married," says one man displaced from his home in a strategic area of a Damascus suburb when the army took it over. "If I was single, I could help the others. But now, I can't even help myself and my kids."
As my time in Syria draws to a close, I wonder whether I will find my Syrian colleagues safe, if and when I return. On the way out, the Lebanese border crossing is chaotic. Babies are screaming as their mothers compete for a turn at the counter and for a better life abroad. We squeeze past taxis and private cars with suitcases on the roofs, and like the refugees, leave behind a country with an unpredictable future and a people with mounting needs.

Ned Yost media session: The Final Chapter
(Editor's note: Thank you to our intern, Hillary, who compiled a majority of the media sessions this season. Nice job!)
Yost said it never even crossed his mind last spring training that he would be managing the Royals at this point in time. He said he just came in trying to help the club any way possible. Ever since he was hired by Kansas City, all his thoughts have centered on how to make the Royals into champions.
Yost also reflected on his experiences working with his coaching staff, saying he's usually hard on coaches, but he sincerely believes all the men have done a great job and he's very pleased. His number one criterion for coaches is that they want to make players better everyday. Yost also believes it's important that they develop relationships and trust with members of the team. In particular, Yost has seen this demonstrated by Eddie Rodriguez and his work with Yuniesky Betancourt. Yost also thinks Bob McClure has done a good job with the pitchers and believes the coach has everything it takes to get guys to the next level.
While Yost looks for all of his staff to return next season, he will have to replace Rusty Kuntz at first base who has taken his original 2010 position as an advisor and roving instructor. The manager said he is intent on finding a coach who focuses on base running. Yost thinks base running is an overlooked art, but is an aspect of the sport that wins a lot of games and makes a big difference.

By Timothy Heritage and Alissa de Carbonnel
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Fugitive former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden slipped quietly out of Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport on Thursday after being granted a year's asylum in Russia, ending more than five weeks in limbo in the transit area.
Russia's decision to help the American, and ignore U.S. requests to send him home to face trial for leaking details of government surveillance programs, is sure to anger Washington and increase doubts that a summit between presidents Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin will go ahead in Moscow in September.
After 39 days avoiding hordes of international reporters desperate for a glimpse of him, Snowden managed to give them the slip again, leaving the airport in a car.
"Over the past eight weeks we have seen the Obama administration show no respect for international or domestic law but in the end the law is winning," Snowden, whose first leaks were published two months ago, was quoted as saying by the WikiLeaks anti-secrecy group which has assisted him.
"I thank the Russian Federation for granting me asylum in accordance with its laws and international obligations."
Grainy images on state television showed the 30-year-old's document, which is similar to a Russian passport, and revealed that he had been granted asylum for a year from July 31.
A Russian lawyer said he had handed Snowden a document from Russia which enabled him to leave the airport for a safe location which would remain secret, and that he could now work and travel freely in the country of 142 million.
State television also showed a picture of him getting into a grey car at the airport driven by a young man in a baseball cap. Snowden wore a backpack and a blue button-up shirt.
"He is the most wanted man on planet Earth," Snowden's lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, told Reuters. "He has to think about his personal security. I cannot tell you where he is going."
"He can live wherever he wants in Russia. It's his personal choice," he said.
Snowden, who had his U.S. passport revoked by Washington, fled to Moscow from Hong Kong on June 23 and had stayed at a hotel at the airport, Kucherena said, but was "psychologically exhausted".
"Imagine yourself daily (having to listen to) 'Dear passengers, the flight to New York, the flight to Washington, the flight from Rome'," the lawyer said.
Snowden, whose revelations have fuelled a debate in the United States about civil liberties and national security needs, was accompanied by Sarah Harrison, a WikiLeaks representative.
"We would like to thank the Russian people and all those others who have helped to protect Mr. Snowden. We have won the battle – now the war," WikiLeaks said on Twitter.
WikiLeaks issued its statement as the case against Private Bradley Manning continued for releasing classified U.S. data through its website.
Snowden hopes to avoid a similar fate. Nicaragua, Bolivia and Venezuela have offered him refuge, but there are no direct commercial flights to Latin America from Moscow and he was concerned the United States would intercept any flight he took.
He was forced to bide his time in the transit area between the runway and passport control, which Russia considers neutral territory. Kucherena had given Snowden Russian books to help pass the time and says he has started learning Russian in preparation for his stay, which could be extended after a year.
"I am so thankful to the Russian nation and President Vladimir Putin," the American's father, Lonnie Snowden, told Russian state television. He is expected to come to Russia to see his son shortly.
It is not clear what Snowden plans to do in Russia, although he has said he would like to travel around the country. VKontakte, Russia's answer to social networking site Facebook, has already offered him a job.
Washington has signaled in the last few weeks that Obama might consider boycotting the planned summit with Putin. It did not immediately comment on Snowden's change of status, which steps up the level of support he is receiving from Russia.
It is not clear whether Obama might also consider a boycott of a G20 summit in Russia in September or of the Winter Olympics which Russia will host in the city of Sochi next February.
A senior Kremlin official played down concerns.
"Our president has … expressed hope many times that this will not affect the character of our relations," Yuri Ushakov, Putin's top foreign policy adviser, told reporters.
But Senator Robert Menendez, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, criticized Moscow's decision and said Russia should send Snowden home because his revelations could do great harm to the United States.
"Edward Snowden is a fugitive who belongs in a United States courtroom, not a free man deserving of asylum in Russia," Menendez said. "Regardless of the fact that Russia is granting asylum for one year, this action is a setback to U.S.-Russia relations."
Putin wants to improve relations with the United States that are strained by issues from the Syrian conflict to his treatment of opponents and foreign-funded non-governmental organizations, but would have risked looking weak if he had handed him over to the U.S. authorities.
More than half of Russians have a positive opinion of Snowden and 43 percent wanted him to be granted asylum, a poll released by independent research group Levada said this week.
Putin has said Snowden must stop anti-U.S. activities, but it was not clear whether the American had agreed to do so. Snowden has said that he does not regard his activities as hostile to the United States.
There has already been diplomatic fallout from Snowden's leaks, which included information that the U.S. National Security Agency bugged European Union offices and gained access to EU internal computer networks, even though the EU is an ally.
China, Brazil and France have voiced concern over the spying program and U.S. ties with Latin American states have been clouded.

Basel, Switzerland (Sports Network) - Hot Argentine star Juan Martin
del Potro highlighted Thursday's second-round winners at the Swiss Indoors
tennis event.
Fresh off his title in Vienna last week, the second-seeded del Potro continued
his winning ways by handling American comeback kid Brian Baker 7-5, 6-1 on the
indoor hardcourts at St. Jakobshalle.
Meanwhile, sixth-seeded Russian veteran Mikhail Youzhny reached the
quarterfinals by whipping Aussie Matthew Ebden 6-3, 6-1. Youzhny's round-of-
eight opponent will be third-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet.
In some other second-round play, France's Benoit Paire topped Polish qualifier
Lukasz Kubot 6-4, 6-4, and another Frenchman, wild card Paul-Henri Mathieu,
downed former top-five Russian star Nikolay Davydenko 6-3, 6-7 (2-7), 6-4.
Paire is rewarded with a quarterfinal match against Basel's hometown hero
Roger Federer, while Mathieu will face ultra-talented Bulgarian Grigor
Dimitrov, who has been nicknamed "Baby Fed."
Federer beat Japan's Kei Nishikori for a second straight and fifth overall
Basel title a year ago. The Swiss great also claimed championships
here from 2006-08 and was a Swiss Indoors runner-up in 2000, 2001 and 2009.
The 2012 winner of this $1.84 million event will earn $440,000.

Independence can't stop Butler's Stribling from scoring
Last Friday night, two teams about six miles apart met in the second round of the NCHSAA 4AA playoffs: Butler and Independence. It was a home game for Butler, but since their stadium can't hold the expected numbers, the game was at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte.
This was the second time in three weeks that these two teams met, the first time being to decide the winner of the SW4A regular season conference. Butler came out on top during the first meeting, and Indy was hoping to change the outcome this time.

Hi there Cain, was this just meant to be a placeholder or did you perhaps forget to attach the image of your map?
Took the next step by joining CG, now I'm going to take another on this long road of creating a world. I have gathered all my sketches and started reworking them towards the first continent. The realm of man. It is the first map I have ever made and would like as many comments as possible on what I could do to make it better and more interesting. I will be updating this thread regularly with names of places. Crests for houses, clans and guilds. (Changes will happen, since this thread will be staying up until i am satisfied with the updates of each continent and have finished a world map). Years.
Names of Continents: Rest coming as I finish base lore to them. Possibly many, possibly few.
1.Realm of man, Levia.
What I'm going to include in the maps I'll be working on. Below this(will be updated per continent.)
Names of cities:
Names of forests:
Names of lakes:
Names of rivers:
Names of mountains:
Names of regions:
Names of places(towns, holds etc anything with historical value or interesting geography):
Any tips will be much appreciated. This is material for a book btw.
If the journey isn't epic the ending certainly won't be either.
Hi there Cain, was this just meant to be a placeholder or did you perhaps forget to attach the image of your map?
The map is still just sketches but I'm working on putting them together, after that I guess I'm gonna scan it or take a picture and post it. I hope people won't mind me keeping track of what changes I have done to the map in this thread since I wasn't planning on spreading out all the info of one world into several threads.(I Might later do the continents on different threads since too much stuff in one thread might not be a good thing I'm guessing.)
If the journey isn't epic the ending certainly won't be either.
