Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BHDad Beautiful media stand! This is a beautiful media stand and a great departure from the ugly cabinets you see everywhere else. I looked all over for an easel media stand - the only other one I found was at Restoration Hardware and was 5x expensive and only available in dark wood. The piece looks and feels very solid and appears much more expensive than it really was. My only complaint about the product was that it arrived with slight damage due to shipping. The World Market customer service team was excellent in finding a solution for me. Very happy with this product and the World Market service! August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EileenP This piece is beautiful Can't count how many friends have commented on this piece. It has fulfilled my expectations and then some! It arrived quickly, was very easy to assemble, and is a great value at a low price. I just love it. July 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maia Meets Expectations This easel media stand is awesome! It's very sturdy and is larger than I expected (in terms of thickness of wood pieces). It serves as a piece of art in our home as well as a place to put our TV. It adds a lot to our space with the small details (metal on the sides). It was relatively easy to assemble! Just as a side note, the assembly instructions are GREAT! We were missing two pieces in the hardware, but that didn't make it impossible to put together. Overall, awesome piece of furniture! You'll love it. March 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by melancholymarie Oops there goes another rubbertree plant! Half off furniture sale... extra 15% off?! WM couldn't have made this easier. I needed a replacement for my wobbley ladder style media stand. This was unique and sturdy. The color is described as honey, but looks like a distressed ash. A light color. As a representative described it "there is no red in it". Paired it with a 42inch TV and it looks nice. Please consider your space though...it juts out from the wall in back and in the front, as it has width at the bottom for stability. PS WM offers in store assembly for an additional (very reasonable) cost. February 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Savateuse Snap to assemble, solid, beautiful construction. I'm using the media stand as a real easel and it works beautifully. January 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KatH Nice, sturdy media solution I am very happy with this purchase. It is very solid and well made, really appreciate the metal detailing on the sides and the lip on the stand to keep a TV secure. The assembly instructions were very clear and the unit easy to put together alone. It definitely needs casters, but for about $20 and 30 minutes of labor I was able to add them easily. I just purchased standard 2" models from the hardware store, painted the metal to match, and attached them to the sides before assembly. The structure of the feet made it very easy to drill pilot holes and attach the casters (I'm no carpenter either). The biggest peeve I had with this unit was the back. It doesn't look quite finished, and since I am using this unit in a position where the back can be seen that is not ideal. There were also "permanent" LARGE bright white warning stickers on the highest horizontal bar that were very unappealing to look at. Technically they are supposed to stay, but they bugged me so much that I used a large amount of elbow grease, goo-gone and time to get them off. Overall, would highly recommend this unit, and spending a little time on it to make it even better. February 24, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by LanaB Pretty Item The item itself is rather tiny as compared to the pictures on the website but it was not too difficult to assemble and is unique. February 6, 2013

Remembering '11
Although the 2011 season did not end well for the Minnesota Twins (the understatement of the year, to be sure), it is still another baseball season in the books, full of ups and downs and memorable moments along the way. This post list those moments that I remember…
-On my couch, hot dogs and brats in hand, to watch Opening Day…and then seeing the Twins out of it in Toronto before it even began, really. Should have known something from Day One, I guess.
-Getting all excited about Nishioka, then seeing the Yankees take him out early and him become a basket case late.
-Liriano's May no-no against the White Sox. Probably the most unimpressive no hitter I've ever seen, but still a special night.
-The mid-June surge that saw Ben Revere and Alexi Casilla ignite the team.
-Watching at Target Field as Matt Capps blew ANOTHER save against the Brew Crew.
-Walking on the hallowed "Field of Dreams" in Iowa as part of a baseball-themed vacation.
-Seeing the Twins play the White Sox at The Cell as part of said vacation.
-Attending (at one point in early July) four games in the span of five days.
-The terrible months of August & September which, towards the end, even tested my patience in sitting through an entire error-ridden, pitching-splintered game.
And then, of course, there was perhaps the most meaningless season finale in Twins history. Except, of course, that it wasn't. With John Gordon behind the microphone for the final time, the Twins rallied in the ninth for a walk-off win thanks to the bat of Trevor Plouffe and the legs of Denard Span.
Though, for sure, those last few months were trying and many times I just wished the season would mercifully come to a close, that final game really put things in perspective. With each passing day without baseball (and especially when football comes to an end), all I'll want is simply this, with my Minnesota Twins…

Sun Devils Shut Down Iowa, Win Sun Bowl
EL PASO, Texas - Backup quarterback Steve Campbell threw for a touchdown and Mike Martin ran for 169 yards and a score as 18th-ranked Arizona State picked up its first postseason win in 10 years, a 17-7 victory over Iowa in the Sun Bowl at El Paso, Texas.
Campbell, playing in place of injured starter Ryan Kealy, completed 5-of-11 passes for 109 yards for Arizona State, which had not won a bowl game since defeating Air Force, 33-28, in the 1987 Freedom Bowl.
The Sun Devils, who improved to 10-6-1 all-time in the postseason, finished 9-3 after an 11-1 mark last year that was capped by a loss to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. It is the first time Arizona State has won at least nine games in consecutive seasons since 1981-82.
The Sun Devils shut down an Iowa offense ranked ninth in the nation in scoring at just under 37 points per game. The Hawkeyes' Tavian Banks, who was fourth in the nation in rushing at 149 yards per contest, was held to only 52 yards on 14 carries.
Matt Sherman, who missed the final five regular-season games with a dislocated right thumb, completed 8-of-22 passes for 120 yards for the Hawkeyes (7-5), who had their two-game bowl winning streak snapped. Iowa, which fell to 8-7-1 in the postseason, has never won three consecutive bowl games.
Arizona State became the fourth Pac-10 Conference school to win a bowl game already this season. Oregon topped Air Force in the Las Vegas Bowl, Washington routed Michigan State in the Aloha Bowl and Arizona defeated New Mexico in the Insight.com Bowl.
The Hawkeyes totaled 30 yards in the first half, just five on the ground, and trailed at halftime, 10-0. They moved inside Arizona State territory on consecutive possessions in the third quarter but were stopped both times when they attempted to convert on 4th-and-1.
Following the second stop, the Sun Devils stormed down the field and took a commanding 17-0 lead when Martin capped a six-play, 58-yard drive with a one-yard run.
Martin had 27 carries as Arizona State outgained Iowa, 377-209, including a 268-19 advantage on the ground.
Iowa avoided its first shutout in four years with 49 seconds remaining when Randy Reiners connected with Ricchard Carter for a 26-yard score. The Hawkeyes were last blanked by Penn State, 31-0, on September 18th, 1993.
This was the lowest-scoring Sun Bowl since 1991, when UCLA edged Illinois, 6-3. The Sun Bowl, which dates back to 1936, is the fourth-oldest bowl game, trailing only the Rose, Sugar and Orange bowls.
Arizona State squandered a chance to take break a scoreless tie on the third play of the second when Robert Nycz pushed a 21-yard field goal attempt wide right. The Sun Devils held the ball for close to 11 minutes in the first period but had two other drives end in punts.
Iowa went three-and-out on its next possession and Arizona State drove 55 yards in seven plays for the game's first points. Campbell connected with Lenzie Jackson, who avoided two tackles to complete a 35-yard score.
The Sun Devils extended the lead to 10-0 on the final play of the first half, capitalizing on Sherman's fumble inside the Iowa 30-yard line with a 21-yard field goal by Nycz.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Soil, Water, & Fertilizer
Organic Matters (page 2 of 4)
by Carrie Chalmers
Nutritive Benefits of Various Organic Residues
Adding different organic residues to the soil produces different results. Succulent green materials such as grass clippings, manure, fresh leaves, cover crops, and weeds contain carbons, but they're also rich in nitrogen. Because they have a low C:N ratio, the soil will absorb them rapidly, then release nutrients. With little decay-resistant material in them to enhance humus production, these soil amendments facilitate decomposition but aren't as instrumental in the humus phase.
In contrast, carbon-containing materials such as straw, sawdust, papers, wood chips, and dried leaves have low nitrogen levels and are high in carbohydrates and lignins (the bonds that connect woody cell walls of plants, making them decay-resistant). These substances are the primary building-blocks of stable humus and long-term nutrient reserves.
Humus: Nutrients in Reserve
A reserve of stable, partially decomposed organic matter (humus) in the soil develops over several years and preserves the soil's physical integrity. Humus is a huge storehouse of solar energy; in your garden, it reduces erosion, increases water retention, and affects soil chemicals. For example, humus particles are negatively charged, attracting positively charged cations like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Humus increases the surface area available to hold the cations, and it enriches the nutrient pool available to plant roots. Nitrogen is stored in a form that's released slowly, sustaining season-long growth. Soils that have been used for years without careful management generally lack this nutrient reserve, and that's when building stable humus is a high priorty.
Add Materals to Suit Your Soil's Needs
If you usually add food wastes, manure, and green yard waste to your soil, try to add high-carbon residues to your compost pile, or mulch plants with straw. The additives create a balance between fostering biological activity and accumulating humus. You can also quickly improve soil structure by planting a cover crop such as buckwheat, or incorporating grass clippings or manure directly into the soil, rather than adding mature compost. (Fresh manure could burn plants, however, so if you add it, don't plant immediately afterward.) If you want to boost stable organic matter levels, a cover crop will contribute less than manure would.
In his book, Fertile Soil (agAccess, Davis, CA, 1990, $44 including shipping), Robert Parnes demonstrates that incorporating a layer of hay into your garden boosts the soil's organic-matter content more effectively than adding manure, and stable compost contributes more quickly to the level of stable organic matter. Except when you are reclaiming damaged soils or correcting for past imbalances, most garden soils need a balance of fresh and decomposed organic residues to fuel both decomposition stages constantly.
Conditions that affect buildup of organic matter
Tilling, the equivalent of aerating your compost pile, greatly affects the soil's level of stable organic matter. The resulting increased oxygen levels promote biological activity; consequently, organic amendments are necessary to compensate for further decomposition caused by soil cultivation. Excessive wind, heat, rain, and compaction hinder high biological activity. Grass or legume crops and organic mulches protect the soil and accomplish a crucial part of soil management: the creation and conservation of organic matter.

Quakers is a 35 member hip hop collective, which centers around producers Fuzzface, 7-Stu-7 and Katalyst. Fuzzface is known to many as Geoff Barrow of the lauded Portishead, 7-Stu-7 is Portishead's engineer, and Katalyst hails from Australia rounding out the trio for some massive sound. Peep the tracklisting for Quakers on the Stones Throw website.
Set out to make music they cared about, the producers sought out "genuine collaborators" to form this impressive project. Their hard hitting beats seemed to have done some serious talking with the line up these guys have scored, which includes legends and up-and-comings alike. Amongst the many talents, there are: Prince Po, Booty Brown (The Pharcyde), Dead Prez, Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson, MED, Lyric Jones, Raydar Ellis, and Buff1, just to name a few.
Take a little peek into the release with the stream for "Fitta Happier" with Guilty Simpson below! Look for the album to drop March 27.

Davidson County store sells winning lottery ticket worth $135,370
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
A Winston-Salem woman won $135,370 in the Carolina Cash 5 jackpot on a ticket purchased at a northern Davidson County convenience store.
Charlynn Schultz said that the moment she realized she'd won the jackpot was like an "out of body experience," according to a press release from the lottery. She purchased her ticket at the Circle C on Hickory Tree Road.
"I was just about to go to bed when I got on the computer to check my numbers," Schultz said. "I saw a couple of my numbers matched and thought I had won a dollar. Then I kept seeing them match, one after the other. I didn't know where I was for a minute. It was just surreal, like a wave coming over me."
Her ticket for the March 9 drawing matched all five numbers, beating odds of 1 in 575,757 to win the jackpot.
She plans to use her winnings, worth $92,051 after taxes, to pay bills and help pay for her children's education.
"This is all so overwhelming," Schultz said as she held her check for the first time. "I feel so blessed."

With her big fucking tits and nice round juicy booty Ava is the original anal whore.
|Sex And Submission
|Jan 4, 2013
With her big tits, nice round juicey booty, and shaved pussy Ava could be the original whore of Babylon that we've all been warned about. And can she take punishment most bondage models would be screaming their safe word. I especially liked the oil. Ava looks like the fucking sex pig she is ready to be kane to the auction block in chains and sold a slut pig. Claire you are hands down one of the best riggers in BDSM. You are the mAin reason why I keep up my subscription to HT. Every week its anothher hot slut being dominated even in the sets where you are not the dom. I'm sure you direct them. You are totally ruthless to your slut slave whether male or female. Your pleasure cums first even if the slut has to suffer. You are un touched by their pleas for mercy. Any male who endures a session with you has more balls then I do. The thought of being trussed up naked by Clair and fucked makes my balls ache. LOL Keep up the good work and don't cut your sluts any slack. One more thing Claire you have a smoking hot body I'd like yo see you wear something sexier then ovehalls. They were okay for Matt but you are a hot sexy lady. You don't have to be naked or even topless just dressed in one of those tight laytex outfits you wore on WP or WA.
|Aug 17, 2012
Lorelei has always bbeen one of my favorite models on Kink. She is a real woman with a real woman's body. Not some blonde bimbo with silicon tits. Lorelei has a nice juicey booty, a two fisted booty, beautiful facehair, and eyes, a smoking hot figuar and puss. A nicely shaved pussy with full sensual lips and a sensative clit. What man or woman wouldn't want to get their tongue, cock or strapon up Lorelei's portal to paradise, her luv tunnel. And can she take some tough bondage. Lorelei you are among the best. Great rigging as always by Claire. You are doing an awesome job. I trust in part three Lorelei will be violated in her tight ass hole as well. In recent years Lorelei hase been playing the role of a dominatrix ruling over both male and female slave sluts. Well more power to you Lorelei. But I think it essential that Lorelei be reminded on a regular basis of what she started out as. A rope slut and cock whore. You rock Lorelei!!
|May 16, 2012
Welcum back to Kink Ava "fucking" Divine. With her huge tits and nice round juicey booty Ava could be the original whore of Babylon. LOL And can she suck a mean dick!!! One a scale of 1 to 10 Ava is a 10+ pluys in cock suckingt skills. A sure cure for ED. I especially enjoyed the scene where Ava is tied naked to the chair and forced to watch her beloved step daguahter gets raped by the Rev. And getting her wet pussy stimulated with a vibrator. Awesome. I remember a few years ago Matt you wanted to do a abduction scenario with Justine but were advised by the legal team at Kink not to do so. Well this is far more intense then that was. What made you change your policy?? The censors are still out there. Whether its the holier then thou sssholes on the right or the PC shitheads on the left. I imagine the uptight bitches at NOW would be appalled with Ava's actions. Both have one goal in common they want to control what adults enjoy on the web. Now understand I am totally against any sort of child porn as I know everyone at Kink is but its no body's business what I as an adult want to enjoy on the web.
|Jan 6, 2012
Wow this Spanish whore probably had to spend hours confessing all her sins. She probably gave her confessor a hard on unless he prefers boys.
|Public Disgrace
|Dec 17, 2011
Awesome!!! I luv red heads they are some of the hottest babes around. The doggy strapon scene was fantastic. Isis you really know how to use a strapon. Mallory sufferred so well she needs to be sent over to HT for Matt to play with. Mallory reminds me a lot of another Kink model Trinity Post.
|Whipped Ass
|Dec 7, 2011
Awesome!!! If Carely Simon were a bondage whore she'd be Audrey. Welcum back Audrey you are one of the best.
|Mar 7, 2011
Lorelei you are the BEST! I have never seen a set that included you that I didn't enjoy. Along with Isis and Princess Donna you are the greatest at strapon action. You look so sexy in a strapon its as though its becum an extension of your clit. Strapon action is more then fitting it to your hips. You need to be able to move it into , around and out of your slut's pussy and ass. And you Isis Donna are artists at that. I loved the action when you tied Kiki in a strapano and fucked her. That must have been one of the most intense strapon fuckings she's ever received and from the look of her wet pussy enjoyed. You should develope your own brand of strapons. I noticed you often use this purple strapon it must be a favorite. Kiki you are also hot hot hot. Welcum to the world of llesbian bondage. You are working with the best. I'd luv to see you perform in a FM set. Tomcat will drive you over the edge. You have an outstanding career in porn ahead of you.
|Whipped Ass
|Feb 28, 2011
Chloe even her name sounds sexy. She is fast becuminig one of my favorite models on Kink and a very good reason to stay a member. Chloe is so hot with her short blonde hair she reminds of Cherry Torn. Plus she really really enjoys FM. She hass a beautiful pussy shaven with full sensual lips and a sensative clit plus she get wet. What man or woman wouldn't want to get their tongue up her tunnel of luv. Please bring this hot babe back.
|Fucking Machines
|Feb 5, 2011
Awesome!! 5 stars and a full erection. A sure cure for ED. Its great to see these two hot bi babes back on FM. I hope to see a lot more of these babes on FM perhaps they might invite some of their friends to join in on the set. Females only of course. Its a great way for them to pay off their student loans. BTW Tomcat did you have any problems with the college administratyion when your FM crew showed up???
|Fucking Machines
|Feb 2, 2011
One of the great things about FM is Tomcat hooks up models that have a real chemistry for each other. It makes for more intense orgasms when both babes warm up with foreplay. Lily and Lorelei are great kisses. I give this my highest rating 5 stars and a full erection. A sure cure for ED. If a guy can't get a hard on or a woman get a wet pussy then they might as well forget about sex and enter a monestary. LOL I would not be surprised if Lily and Lorelei enjoyed a little Afternoon Delight once the set was finished.
|Fucking Machines
|Feb 2, 2011
Awesome!! I have never seen a woman in any other set squirt as much as Isis. It was a fountain. This is certain proof she was aroused a wet soaking pussy does not lie. Lily you were fantastic also. Keep up the great wet pussy action and I'll remain a member.
|Fucking Machines
|Nov 17, 2010
Matt, where do you find all these hot sluts??? Lolita is one of the hottest and she squirted on her first bondage gig. What a slut!! I have to give her credit she jumped in with both feet. Kink isn't the easiest first bondage gig. But damm it she was hot with that nice shaved pussy. Next you need to send this slut over to WP for Princess Donna, Isis, and Lorlei to play with then I suggest a stint with Fucking Machines. I'd love to see that tight little pussy violated by one of your machines. If she survives that and I'm sure she will Public Disgrace and Dex and Submission. She's got a fantastic porn career ahead o her and it all stared with Kink.
|Nov 14, 2010
Cherry is hot hot hot one of the best painslus at Kink. You are very lucky to have tis slut and cock whore. That was a suspension that would hvae challenged rope slut Madison. Simply awesome. Cherry is one of the most sexy sluts at Kink. Often women with short hair tend to look masuline or butch. Not Cherry she is 100% female slave slut. She reminds me of Maya the hot lesbian you had on Kink about 4 years ago. She did some of her best work on HT with you and Sagt-Maj. I loved the way you whipped her pussy to get her warmed up. Cherry has such a nice pussy. Clean shaven with full sensual sensitive lips. What man or woman would want to get their tongue, dick or strapon up those lips of luv. She had some very intense orgasms from the vibrator. I loved the way you just left her to stew in her own pussy juices. I bet her tumnnell of luv was soaked with her joy juices. I'm surprise this whore didn't squirt. Well maybe next time.Cherry you are the best.
|Nov 13, 2010
Kink Inc is a BDSM site. The models know what they are getting into and they all have a safe word. Kink Inc's rules of filming are strict. On Hogtie a few years ago Matt explained that a abduction scene with Justine Jolie could not be done as originally planned because Kink's legal people advised against it. No one is forced into these acts its all agreed upon by both sides. If you think this is extreme it isn't there are other sites out there that are far more extreme where women are bull whipped or have their pussy lips naied to a board.

Chili Under the Oaks (37 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
In the back of my property is an amazing oak field so I thought it would be fun to host a chili (or chilly since it's November) under the oaks party to celebrate our fabulous fall weather and to give thanks to some amazing friends in my life. We brought is 15 bale of hay and 2 fire pits. For dinner, I made 3 different kinds of chili and served it with potatoes, salad, corn bread, bread bowls and all the fixing. Dessert featured a smore bar with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry marshmallows, milk, dark and cookies and creme chocolate bars and lots of add-ins. I also served other harvest inspired desserts and in a tan color scheme which including salted caramel macaroons, mini apple pies, mini cheese cakes, pecan bars and caramel chex mix. The cupcake were sinckerdoodle which I topper with a findant acorn. Image my delight when I stumbed across the acorn cookie cutter in my baking drawer. The drink table feature harvest moon punch and I made wine glass labels and pinned them to a boxwood wreath. In keeping with the harvest theme and color scheme of black white and burlap, I tried to stick with white or rustic wood serving pieces. Hope you like it!

Gender Differences at Critical Transitions in the Careers of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics F

Purdue Press publishes book by DLRC on transforming STEM learning for undergraduates
November 24, 2015
Higher education's ability to prepare students to compete in the 21st century workplace faces increasing scrutiny. Existing and ingrained structures of higher education, particularly in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, are not set up to provide the skill development in three key areas necessary for student success in the knowledge economy: communication, teamwork and divergent thinking, a new book published by Purdue University Press suggests. Addressing this issue by formulating solutions within diverse academic settings is the focus of "Transforming Institutions: Undergraduate STEM Education for the 21st Century." Edited by Gabriela C. Weaver, Wilella D. Burgess, Amy L. Childress and Linda Slakey, the book brings together chapters from the scholars and leaders who were part of the 2011 and 2014 conferences led by the Discovery Learning Research Center in Purdue's Discovery Park.Read Full Story

WHERE: Library Reading Room, Rock Hall's Library and Archives (2809 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland)
TO RSVP: This event is FREE and reservations are recommended, but not required. To RSVP, visit http://tickets.rockhall.com or in-person at the Rock Hall Box Office.
VIEW ONLINE: Can't make it to Cleveland for this event? No worries! A webcast will be made available on the AMS web site within several days of the event.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will welcome Christopher Doll of Rutgers University as the next guest speaker in the American Musicological Society/Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Lecture Series – a joint collaboration that brings scholarly work to a broader audience and showcases the musicological work of the top scholars in the field. Doll will give the lecture, "Nuclear Holocaust, the Kennedy Assassination, and 'Louie Louie': The Unlikely History of Sixties Rock and Roll" on Wednesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. in the Reading Room of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Library and Archives.
Christopher Doll writes, "In narratives of American popular-music history, the song 'Louie Louie' is usually depicted (to the extent it surfaces at all) as a minor, and ultimately ephemeral, controversy: a song that initially raised eyebrows and lowered standards but that was quickly forgotten in the wake of Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and other more substantive, 'classic' sixties artists. My talk will reposition 'Louie Louie' as a major turning point in the history of Anglo-American popular-music style—a unique combination of past and contemporary practices, one that anticipated some significant formal aspects of the music that would follow. An abundance of musical examples will illustrate this talk's exploration of the relationship between sixties socio-political events and youth music, the impact of Latin music in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, the history of melodic-accompanimental textures since the advent of jazz, and the eventual global ubiquity of songs built around short loops of music."

Post subject: Romantic Suspense and Research
Recently, I listened to recorded sessions from the 2007 RWA convention. During these discussions, some romantic suspense authors talked about the extensive research they did, and some had on-the-job experience or relationships with professionals in the investigative fields. But quite a few authors talked about doing most of their research on-line, or at least alternating between Google and a few reference books. This surprised me because romantic suspense is one field where I'd expect more research, especially as so many of these books have plots involving cops, the FBI, etc. But reading some recent thrillers, I've wondered if "research by Google" is prevalent in all fields, and not just in romantic suspense (which the heavily research books end up being dull.
Do you think this shows in the books themselves, or do the authors get away with it as long as they keep it interesting? Is the amount of research only a factor for you if you notice an error? On the other hand, because some authors do a lot of in-depth research, they want to make sure you know that they know this stuff, so they'll bog the book down with details. Have you ever ended up entangled in a book where you wish the author didn't care so much about her research? :)
Also, do you think "Research by Google" is as prevalent as the authors make it sound, or were they just simplifying what they do? At the same convention, there were lots of detailed lectures about nitty gritty research into everything from body disposal to serial killers, so obviously, plenty of authors are really into research.
Also, what about mistakes that aren't? Even authors who do a lot of research are often wrongfully accused of making mistakes. Let's say they base their work on what they know is how a murder case is handled in Topeka. They're likely to get letters accusing them of making errors because someone in Wichita handles procedures differently.

Well, Google is certainly a handy place to start, and with reasonable care you can get a lot of information there especially if you know something about the subject in the first place.
I would imagine that the Internet is particularly useful for those who do not have a fortune to spend on books and do not have access to a university or similar library. I am very fond of my local public library, and it is a very good one, but if I want to research anything in depth I have to ask them to borrow books for me from a university library. If you can't do that, you're kind of stuck, aren't you?

Yeah, it's a good start. I sure wish I'd had it in high school, when I tried to write a novel about a medical examiner. (To date myself, it was inspired by the Quincy TV show.
) I'm just afraid that some authors are relying on it
much. They forget that just because it's on-line, that doesn't mean it's true.
On the other hand, some authors may not be relying on it enough. How often do we hear complains from readers that an author got a simple detail wrong in a setting? I don't expect writers to visit the places they write about (they can't afford to and they don't have the time). But could they at least try to use Google Maps? ;)
Edited to Add
Maybe the issue is not that some authors rely a lot on Google for their research -- it's that beginning writers research too much. There are a lot of "how to write" books out there stressing the importance of research. While research is important, some authors get carried away with it. After all, if the latest book on writing best-sellers says that you must read two books about the history of the town Chapter Three is set on, why not read six books about it? Never mind that the characters spend all of ten pages there. It's too easy to get caught up in intensive research and forget to write the actual book, or worse, wind up writing a dull book.

I remember the first time I got to visit a university library. My local library had a couple of general books on forensics, but the university library had detailed text books on forensics. However, I didn't have a card. Sigh. Maybe that's why I gave up and started writing SF and fantasy.

I once lived near Charlottesville, Virginia, home of the University of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson specified that the library was to be open to all residents of Virginia. What bliss! Would that all university libraries did likewise.

I attended a chat with a number of military romance writers and they talked about the part research, both online and in life. They all preferred life research, but some things you just can't do. When researching, any writer worth her salt knows you double and triple check things. Books can be wrong too.
You'd be surprised how much time we spend discussing logistics. I have a friend who's writing a historical set in China and we spend a lot of time discussing saddles.

Reading this thread brought one of Iris Johansons' books to mind, the title of which I can't recall. The heroine had trained a pair of dolphins with unusual abilities. I think those abilities had some basis in fact, but whether they did or not was of less importance to me as a reader than how what she wrote contributed to the tale she told. I'd rather the facts be shaded than impede the tale.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scout Great addition to pasta Bought this on a whim and am very impressed. Lovely, bright basil taste. I boil up some spaghetti noodles, toss with about ⅓ of a bottle of this, add some chives, diced tomatoes and a little grated cheese, and it's a delicious meal. Just wish it came in larger bottles instead of these pokey little ones. October 20, 2014

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aunt Marjorie Great Dragon Flies High at Beach This kite was used as part of a pirate's treasure hunt with our niece and nephew on a beach vacation in Michigan. It went together easily, had its own tail that did not have to be added and lifted and soared with little coaxing. Very gratifying to watch this kite soar and bob over the lake for more than an hour on its maiden voyage. A pure pleasure! August 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Monica EASY TO MAKE! Paired these with mamosas for a Mother's Day brunch & they were a BIG hit! June 19, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by krisapin beautiful kite, needs better wings the kite itself is beautiful. the wing construction leaves a little bit to be desired. the top of the wings lock in behind the head but the two lower spars overlap and are held in place with a double loop of string. after one solid crash, the wing geometry was thrown off to a point where the kite would get airborne, turn counterclockwise & crash. it wasn't until we had finished flying for the day that we had noticed that the lower spars were out of whack. luckily, we were able to slide them back into place as, like I said, they are held in place with string. I'm thinking a dollop of hot glue on the spars & string might resolve the issue. other that this one issue, the kite is great and draws lots of looks & comments. June 21, 2011

ZF-3100: Zend_Filter_Input with inputNamespace having filters and validators getting the wrong type...
I have a date filter called My_Filter_Date and I need to use this before the standard Zend_Validate_Date validation, in ZF 1.5.1 this happens {quote} $filters = array( 'dob' => array('Date') ); $validators = array( 'dob' => array('Date') ); $data = array( 'dob' => '1990-01-01' ), $options = array( 'inputNamespace' => array('My_Filter', 'My_Validate'), ); $filter = new Zend_Filter_Input($filters, $validators, $data, $options); $filter->process(); //throws "Zend_Filter_Exception: Class based on basename 'Date' must implement the 'Zend_Validate_Interface' interface" from line 914 Zend/Filter/Input.php {quote}
line 908 of Zend/Filter/Input.php pulls out the wrong Class name from the method getPluginLoader since adding inputNamespace doesn't specify which type, either filter or validator or maybe both, the specified directory holds.
maybe it would be useful to add a key to the inputNamespace options array like so: {quote} $options = array( 'inputNamespace' => array( 'filter' => 'My_Filter', 'validate' => 'My_Validate' ), ); {quote}
This also breaks when I have a filter and a validator for the same thing... i.e. My_Filter_SSN and My_Validate_SSN
exception thrown as "Zend_Filter_Exception: Class based on basename 'SSN' must implement the 'Zend_Filter_Interface' interface"
I noticed a related problem that setOptions() calls addNamespace() for the INPUT_NAMESPACE case (ZFI lines 512-514): addNamespace has been depreciated though...
Applying Jordan's suggestion above for a nested array as the inputNamespace value, the following would work:
case self::INPUT_NAMESPACE:
$this->addFilterPrefixPath($value['filter'], str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $value['filter']) );
$this->addValidatorPrefixPath($value['validate'], str_replace('_', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $value['validate']) );
All this does though is replicate what's going on in the depreciated method...
This is a patchfile which retains BC.
It adds validatorNamespace and filterNamespace to the available options so you can use those instead of inputNamespace.
It calls the appropriate add --- PrefixPath method converting the prefix to a path in the process.
Fixed in trunk as of 12670.

The Science of Asylum 49's Ghosts and Spirits
Gathering courage, I headed to Asylum 49 in Tooele for their first monthly A.P.I (Asylum Paranormal Investigators) Meetup this year on Thursday night. The goal this time was to "talk tech." Most of the 30 people or so were paranormal investigators or experts. Sure, it's a fringe group, but curiosity compelled me to stay. Read More

She is certainly no stranger to large crowds. Incandela, 8, has become a fan favorite singer at the Orlando Magic games and deemed the team's "good luck" charm during the team's 2008-09 NBA Finals run.
Gina Incandela has had quite the busy schedule. According to her publicist, she has already performed more than 100 times since 2008.

EUGENE, Ore.—For the second straight time, the University of Colorado will have a student-athlete representing the United States at the Summer Olympics. However this time, there will be two Buffs going to the games.
Seniors Emma Coburn and Shalaya Kipp punched their tickets to London on Friday night with a first and third place finish in the women's 3,000 meters steeplechase final at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials.
Like she had done many times before, Coburn worked her way to the front position, this time by the third turn of the first lap, and never relinquished the lead. In fact, Coburn finished all alone when she crossed the finish line in nine minutes and 32.78 seconds – over three full seconds ahead of second place Bridget Franek – and had enough time to turn around and give a giant hug to Kipp as she finished the track at Hayward Field moments later.
"Honestly, it went the way we hoped," said Colorado track and field head coach Mark Wetmore of the race.
"They each can now have a roommate that they can get along with over in London."
Kipp needed to finish in the top three and pick up the Olympic "A" standard time of 9:43 in order to qualify, and she easily did so, running the 3,000 in 9:35.73.
"When I saw Emma cross at 9:32, I thought, 'I am going to get it' (the "A" standard)," said Kipp.
After the starting gun, Kipp found a good position behind Coburn and stayed with the front pack for the entire race, never dropping past seventh place. She turned it on in the last two laps, and it was her and Franek that were the only runners trying to chase down Coburn on the home stretch.
"I just went out and followed ... two spectacular athletes (Coburn and Franek)," Kipp said of her race. "Luckily it worked out for me."
It has been a whirlwind few months for Kipp, who won the NCAA Championship and Pac-12 Conference Championship in the steeplechase earlier this spring. Now, she can add 'Olympian' to her resume.
"I can't believe that," said Kipp when she was told that she was going to the Olympics.
Coburn redshirted the 2012 NCAA season after winning the steeplechase events at the 2011 NCAA Championships and the 2010 and 2011 Big 12 Conference Championships. She is also the reigning USATF Steeplechase Champion.
"I had faith in my training and faith in my coaches and that today was going to come together as long as I focused on doing what I know I can do," Coburn said after the race.
This will be the second straight time that CU will have athletes running in the steeplechase at the Olympics, as Jenny (Barringer) Simpson qualified for the 2008 Beijing Summer Games in the event. Simpson still holds the American record in the steeplechase at 9:12.50.
Coburn and Kipp join two former Buffs who have already qualified for the London Olympics for Team USA: Kara Goucher in the women's marathon and Dathan Ritzenhein in the men's 10,000-meter run.
The steeplechase duo were not the only current student-athletes who competed in Friday's trials, as senior Joe Morris joined former CU sprinter Jeremy Dodson in the 200-meter dash preliminary rounds earlier in the day. However, Morris needed a little luck to advance to Saturday's semifinals in the event.
Morris, who was in the last heat of the qualifying event, needed to run a 20.79 to advance, but instead fell three-hundredths of a second short of that mark with a time of 20.82.
Olympic dream over, right? Not quite yet.
After Morris' run, it was ruled that Troy Faulkner was disqualified in the previous heat, allowing the Buff to get the last qualifying spot based on time and advance to the semifinals with Dodson.
Dodson earned an automatic qualifying spot after running a 20.28 and finishing second in the first heat.
"It's nerve-wracking to get that first race over with and shake everything out," Dodson said. "After that first round, now I feel ready to go."
Dodson finished with the third quickest time in the preliminary round while Morris finished 21st.
The 200-meter semifinals will be on Saturday at 7 p.m. MT.
In the women's 1,500 meters semifinals, alums Jenny (Barringer) Simpson and Sara Vaughn easily qualified for Sunday's finals after Simpson placed second and Vaughn fifth in their respective heats.
Simpson was in the first heat and quickly jumped out to the front of the pack with Morgan Uceny and Nicole Schappert. After 700 meters, Simpson moved to the second position – behind Uncanny – where she remained for the final two laps. She crossed the finish line with a time of 4:09.12 and a giant grin on her face.
"At this point, I am just trying to focus on me and focus on the training that I have done throughout the season," said Simpson, who finished second overall. "I am really happy with today. It felt really smooth and really good. Hopefully that is a good indication for Sunday."
Expect the Simpson-Uceny matchup/rivalry to continue during the finals on Sunday, when they are run at 5:23 p.m. MT.
"I think we are equally strong in similar areas," said Simpson, when comparing herself to Uceny. "I think we make a really good matchup because we are both good kickers and we are both strong runners and we are both becoming better and better tacticians."
In Vaughn's race, she found a good spot in the inside lane and stayed there for all four laps, finishing in 4:10.57 and picking up one of the five automatic qualifiers in the heat. She finished 10th overall.
Volunteer assistant coach Emily Pearson began her quest at the U.S. Olympic Trials in the women's heptathlon earlier in the day and is in 16th place with 3,391 points.
She began the competition with a 17th place finish in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.03 seconds, before picking up a 12th place finish in the high jump with a mark of 1.69 meters (5 feet, 6.5 inches). In the shot put, Pearson had a long throw of 11.76 meters (38 feet, 4 inches) and placed 15th. She had her best finish in the final event of the day, the 200-meter dash, as she ran the distance in 24.53 seconds and picked up 930 points.
The women's heptathlon concludes on Saturday with the long jump (4 p.m. MT), the javelin throw (5:15 p.m. MT) and the 800-meter run (7:20 p.m. MT).

text: "Imagine" became one of the enduring anthems of John Lennon's post-Beatles work. In an interview days before his death, he made a case for the brotherhood of man and woman: "That should be credited as a Lennon/Ono song. A lot of it – the lyric and the concept –came from Yoko, but in those days I was a bit more selfish, a bit more macho, and I sort of omitted to mention her contribution, but it was right out of Grapefruit, her book; there's a whole pile of pieces about imagine this and imagine that, and I have given her credit now long overdue." Ono downplayed her involvement, claiming the period was ripe for mutual inspiration. Lennon responded, "Yeah, but if it had been Bowie, I would have put 'Lennon/Bowie' if it had been a male, you know... but when we did it, I just put 'Lennon' because, you know, she's just the wife and, you know, you don't put her name on, right?" Co-produced by Lennon, Ono and Phil Spector, "Imagine" was recorded in July 1971 at John's home studio in Tittenhurst Park. It reached Number Three on Billboard's Hot 100 in November 1971, but wasn't a British single until 1975, when it charted in the Top 10. Following Lennon's death in December 1980, "Imagine" went to Number One in the U.K. Paul McCartney inducted John Lennon into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses and Bruce Springsteen performed "Come Together" live at the induction ceremony. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is home to among the world's largest Beatles exhibits, featuring a number of John Lennon artifacts, including the 1963 Gretsch 6120 he played on the recording of "Paperback Writer."

Going to the dark side in the new FX series American Horror Story
I've always wanted to do a horror film, but not a slasher one. I love the great horror films of the '60s and '70s, like Rosemary's Baby and Don't Look Now. Our show is in that vein. The writers have added an overarching theme, infidelity, and channeled the idea of the destructive force of unfaithfulness through the horror genre.
I must say, it's some of the best writing I've seen in a long, long, long, long time. My character has a great deal of rage, she's [also] funny and the fact that they've placed her geographically being from Virginia is kind of great. She's sort of a Southern beauty queen who came out to Hollywood to make it big and the disappointment and the subsequent despair that comes with that idea of not being successful, and a bad marriage and troubled children, that kind of loads it all up and gives this marvelous dry sense of humor and that makes her so much fun to play.
Role of a lifetime
Motherhood was more important than career for me. There were many times I passed up something that I would have liked to do. But I have no regrets. The kids [Shura, with Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Hannah and Walker, with Sam Shepard] always came on location with me. It was always a great adventure.
Life in motion
I didn't follow the typical movie star trajectory of living in Los Angeles. Except for working out here, we lived in New York, New Mexico, Virginia, Minnesota, back to New York. I think by nature I'm very restless. I got that bred in the bones. We were constantly, when I was a child, on the move and I've never stopped, from my 20s to 30s to 40s. I just never stopped, even when I was dragging around seven dogs, three children, households. It's just in my nature. I'm someplace for a while and then I have a desire to go somewhere else.
Picking up a camera
Fifteen years ago, I found photography, and that has supplemented my creative impulse. I feel lucky to have discovered it. Like most mothers, I had my thousands of color snapshots I'd taken of the family through the years, but I wanted something more. I had collected black and white photography for a long time and had surrounded myself with it, but I'd never even thought of doing anything serious about it. But then as my kids were growing, instead of just having 10,000 color snapshots I have, I decided to try to document my kids in black and white portraiture as they grew. That's how it started. Then I started carrying my camera with me wherever I traveled and whenever I went out and just little by little it grew and grew . A friend insisted I show these family photos I'd been taking to an art director in New York and all of a sudden I found myself putting together a book and putting together exhibits.
Co-star connection
There are a lot of great memories that I have from the films I've made, but when I think of my favorite co-star, the person with whom I shared a special alchemy, one person totally stands out above all the others. Now, I know his reputation for being difficult and cranky and all of that, but there is no actor I enjoyed working with more than Tommy Lee Jones when we made Blue Sky. He is probably my favorite. I love his complexity, his crankiness, and I never worked with a more generous actor. The film sat on the shelf for years, unreleased, and the sorrow of that is that it was [director] Tony Richardson's last film before he died, and because it was delayed he never saw it released. Making that film was special and also sad.

Arkansas highway officials say traffic will be disrupted on Interstate 55 in the Marion area for a resurfacing project on the southbound lanes.
Officials say the Crittenden County work will begin Monday night and is expected to last for two months.
Crews will alternate closing the inside and outside lanes between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. nightly. The plan calls for one lane being open at all times.
The work will begin at the James Mill exit, just north of Marion. It will continue south to Interstate 40.

One recommendation I got in case of emergency or intentional sheltering in a snowy location is to dig a lower hole, so that the cold air can move there, while one can sleep higher up where the heat stays. I understand the physics involved, but I am not aware of how much difference it can do in practice. How many degrees are we talking here ? Is it really recommended, or does it just waste energy ?

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Doing it correctly can ensure the temperature of the snow cave maintains around 32°F (0°C) or higher.
Its not just about digging the extra hole but how the entire cave is constructed that can make the difference between life and death.
Here's the general idea.
Of course doing this won't guarantee your safety, but it sure helps.
To answer your question directly, it makes a huge difference and is absolutely recommended.

Zurich, Friesland. A small village by a dyke at the Wadden Sea in the Netherlands with roughly 200 inhabitants, one hotel, one church, one main street, a fishing equipment store and innumerable sheep. Not really comparable to the city of Zurich in Switzerland with its 385'000 inhabitants, where 140 hotels welcome tourists from all over the world day by day and where Zurich Public Transport (VBZ) transports 300 million people a year through the city. For their client VBZ the Swiss advertising agency Ruf Lanz realized a commercial about «Urban Development» in Zurich, Friesland. As Art Director at Ruf Lanz, it was my pleasure to supervise this project. And more: I took the opportunity to create a photographic documentary of the somewhat different Zurich in all its aspects. This resulted in the book you're holding in your hands. Enjoy it! Or – as the Frisians say – «in soad ville»!

Didier Reynders congratulates the OPCW on winning the Nobel Peace Prize
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders congratulates Ahmet Üzümcü, the Director-General of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), and his colleagues on winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Minister is pleased that this prize has been awarded at a time when the arms inspectors are working in Syria and at a time when Belgium is preparing to commemorate the first chemical weapons attack ever, which took place in the Westhoek nearly 100 years ago.
The Nobel Committee's selection focuses attention on the success of the Chemical Weapons Convention. This principle, which is almost universally applicable, provides an international standard that qualifies the use of chemical weapons as illegal and as a war crime. This was recently proven during the Syrian conflict. The standard even applies to parties that have not signed the Convention.
Just like all the other international disarmament and non-proliferation organisations, the OPCW works on the principle of trust with the signatories. The OPCW is first and foremost a tool for monitoring and verification that forms the foundation for this trust.
The Minister calls upon all States to sign the Convention.

By Dana Crudo, NAMI Child and Adolescent Action Center program manager
As I imagine most young adults feel, I started my first year of college with nervous anticipation. Going away to college provided a fresh start on a new life but also the pressure to make the most of the opportunity. Also, although I had an exciting future ahead of me, I still had the weight of my past with me that made campus life difficult.
Growing up with a parent with bipolar disorder and brain damage had left its mark on me—I still often experienced anxiety, feelings of powerlessness and isolation while away at school. I still struggled to cope effectively and find people who could understand. I learned quickly that no amount of distance from my family situation could change how I felt or the fact that my childhood didn't quite match up with those of my peers, which I realized more and more as I socialized with new people my age.
I found hope while reading a campus newspaper article about student depression that mentioned NAMI on Campus, student-led mental health campus clubs. I knew immediately I had found an invaluable resource that could help me and others at my school.
In my junior year of college, I created NAMI's University of Arizona campus club. Through it I established a wonderful supportive community that really made a positive impact on my life. The club empowered me to learn more about mental health and how to support my family while maintaining my own health. I saw directly how valuable peer support, self-advocacy and knowing you're not alone can be.
Through our club' campus-wide mental health awareness activities, student-run discussion group and our partnership with NAMI Southern Arizona (one of many local NAMI Affiliates nationwide), I learned about the issues that all college students face when it comes to mental health and how I can help address these issues.
As I enter my seventh year working for NAMI, I have learned a great deal about the mental health needs of college students. NAMI just recently published a national survey report on the experiences of college students living with mental health conditions. The report is a blueprint for what students want. Here are some highlights:
- Sixty-four percent of students who stopped attending college are no longer attending because of mental health related reasons. The primary diagnoses of these students are depression, bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder.
- Seventy-two percent of students experienced a mental health crisis on campus. Yet 34 percent reported that their college did not know about their crisis.
- Fifty-seven percent of students did not access accommodations through college disability resource centers, often citing that they were unaware such services and supports existed or did not know how to access them. Forty percent of students did not access mental health services and supports at their school.
- Thirty-six percent students cited stigma as a barrier to accessing their college's mental health services and supports, making it the number one reason students don't access treatment.
Students emphasized the critical need for the following services and supports to be available on campus:
- Mental health training for faculty, staff and students.
- Suicide prevention programs.
- Peer-run, student mental health organizations.
- Mental health information during campus tours, orientation, health classes and other campus-wide events.
- Walk-in student health centers, 24-hour crisis hotlines, ongoing individual counseling services, screening and evaluation services and comprehensive referrals to off-campus services and supports.
As the survey shows and as other countless research findings have shown, mental health issues impact college students and they need our support. Most will experience these issues for the first time in their lives while attending college—catching them by surprise and leaving them ill-prepared to handle these issues on their own. They are not seeking help because they don't know where or who to go to or they fear being negatively perceived by their campus community.
Every young adult deserves an understanding, helpful and supportive community like NAMI on Campus to turn to when life gets hard.
That is why NAMI has launched a new NAMI on Campus initiative and our commitment to college students. The NAMI on Campus website includes new resource sections to:
- Learn more about college mental health.
- Get involved with NAMI on Campus clubs.
- Access resources for students, faculty and staff.
- Connect with others.
Most of all, we want to hear more from college students—you! What resources, tools or information do you need to address mental health issues at your local college communities? How can NAMI help? Please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with suggestions.
Through my own life and my years working with young adults, I have seen firsthand how just one meaningful connection can really change the course of someone's life. Working together, we can make these connections for every young adult in need. Let's get started!

Rhonda Riley returns for her second season with the Arizona State University cross country and track & field programs and her first season as its director of operations after serving one year as a graduate assistant coach. In her new role, Riley will manage the daily operations of the program and its administrative duties while also assisting the staff with various projects, such as alumni relations.
Riley, who came to Tempe from Pac-10 Conference rival Oregon State where she completed her undergraduate degree and served one year as a volunteer assistant coach, had a hand in one of the most successful seasons in Sun Devil history. The distance runners played an integral part in ASU becoming just the second women's program all-time to earn a `triple crown' by finishing fourth or better in the national cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field meets in the same academic year. The harriers finished fourth before the indoor team placed third. The women closed the season by placing fourth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships following the program's first Pac-10 Championship team crown.
During her year as a graduate assistant coach, Riley trained with several runners that posted impressive campaigns, including Amy Hastings, who earned her third All-America honor in cross country before winning the NCAA Indoor 5,000m national title. She also worked with NCAA Outdoor National 10,000m Champion Victoria Jackson and Pac-10 3,000m Steeplechase Champion Brooke Bennett among others.
Riley's first coaching position in the collegiate ranks was very eventful as she assisted Head Coach Kelly Sullivan in mentoring the first Beaver cross country and track and field teams since the University dropped the sports following the 1987-88 academic year. In the cross country program's first year back, OSU placed 10th at the Pac-10 Championships and 16th in the 28-team field at the NCAA West Region meet.
Prior to serving as a volunteer assistant with the Beavers, Riley spent two years coaching both cross country and track and field at Corvallis High School. An active runner herself, Riley competed in four marathons during her time as a student and as a coach, including the 2003 Portland Marathon where she was the ninth female finisher.
A native of Portland, Ore., Riley attained her bachelor's degree in early childhood education from OSU in 2004 and is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Higher Education from ASU.
