Dave Christensen concluded his fourth season as head coach of the Wyoming Cowboys in 2012. While his fourth campaign as head coach was marked by key injuries and close losses, his Cowboys capped off the season by winning three of their last four games. Included among those three wins down the stretch was a 45-31 home win over archrival Colorado State. That marked the fourth consecutive win over CSU. Wyoming teams had not achieved that feat since the 1970-73 seasons. Christensen's fourth season saw the Cowboys excel off the field, as 11 team members earned Academic All-Conference honors. One of those was senior free safety Luke Ruff, who also was voted to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-America First Team, becoming the first Cowboy to achieve that since Trenton Franz in 2004. Ruff also was named: a candidate for the 2012 Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List; a semifinalist for the National Football Foundation's William V. Campbell Award, also referred to as the "Academic Heisman"; one of 30 national finalists for the 2012 Senior CLASS Award; an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner.
Christensen's third season at Wyoming in 2011 was his team's best, as he led Wyoming to a third-place finish in the Mountain West Conference and was named Mountain West Coach of the Year. He became the first Wyoming football coach to earn Coach of the Year honors since Joe Tiller in 1996. Wyoming's third-place finish in the Mountain West in 2011 placed them behind only No. 13 ranked TCU and No. 6 ranked Boise State. His Cowboys ranked as the sixth most improved team in the nation in 2011, and they were the surprise team in the Mountain West, finishing third after being picked sixth in the conference's preseason poll. UW's 8-5 record was its first eight-win season since 1998. The Cowboys' third-place finish and 5-2 conference record matched Wyoming's best since becoming a member of the Mountain West in 1999. The Cowboys' victories in 2011 included road wins over Mountain West rivals Colorado State, Air Force and San Diego State. The Pokes' win over CSU marked the third consecutive over the Rams. Wyoming hadn't won three in a row over Colorado State since 1987, `88 and `89, and hadn't won consecutive road games vs. CSU since 1996 and `98. By defeating both Air Force and Colorado State in 2011, the Pokes accomplished a sweep of their Front Range rivals for the first time since 1996. The 2011 season concluded with Wyoming earning a bid to the Gildan New Mexico Bowl versus Temple. It was the second time in his three seasons as head coach that Christensen guided Wyoming to a bowl game. The last time that occurred at Wyoming was 1988-90. The only conference teams to defeat UW in 2011 were nationally-ranked TCU and Boise State, who finished first and second in the MW, respectively. Christensen's 2011 team became his second in three seasons to win at least seven games. His 2009 Cowboy squad posted a 7-6 record. On Jan. 12, 2012, it was announced that the University of Wyoming had signed Christensen to a new five-year contract that will run through Dec. 31, 2016. At the time of the announced extension, UW Athletics Director Tom Burman had this to say.
"This is a big step for Wyoming Athletics, and it allows us to maintain continuity in the leadership position of Cowboy Football," said Burman. "This could not have occurred without the great support of ticket buyers, sponsors and donors to UW. We have seen dramatic growth in ticket sales and annual giving to the Cowboy Joe Club in recent years, and this allowed us to dig deeper than many thought we could in an effort to keep a coach who was in demand.
"We're excited to keep Dave (Christensen) in place to lead a football team that will return a number of talented young players next year. We feel this positions us to be one of the premier programs in the Mountain West moving forward."
"I appreciate the commitment that Tom Burman, President (Tom) Buchanan, the UW Administration and Cowboy fans have made to me and our football program," said Christensen. "We wanted to stay here and continue to build Wyoming Football into one of the leading programs in the Mountain West, and this new contract will allow us to continue those efforts.
"My staff has worked extremely hard to build this program the right way. We feel like we took a big step forward this season (2011), finishing third in the conference behind only TCU and Boise State and earning our second bowl bid in three years. We're very excited about the future of our program, and with the support of Wyoming fans we feel like we can continue to grow and reach new heights."
You couldn't have asked for much more from a head coach in his first season. Christensen's first year as a college head coach in 2009 was filled with highlights. He led the Wyoming Cowboys to a bowl game in his first season, becoming only the second Cowboy head coach to accomplish that feat -- the other being Paul Roach in 1987. Christensen became the first UW head coach to win a bowl game in his first season, as his Pokes defeated Fresno State, 35-28 in double overtime, in the New Mexico Bowl. He also guided Wyoming to a road win over archrival Colorado State in the regular-season finale, bringing the Bronze Boot back to Laramie.
For a team that began the season picked to finish last (ninth) in the 2009 Mountain West Conference preseason poll, Christensen's Cowboys ended the season with a 7-6 overall record, a 4-4 league mark and a fifth-place finish in a league that had three teams end the season ranked among the Top 18 in both the Associated Press Media Poll and USA Today Coaches' Poll. And his team accomplished all this while playing a schedule that was ranked as the eighth toughest in the nation and included BCS national runner-up Texas.
While he delivered on his promise to the 2009 senior class that he would do everything he could to get them to a bowl game, he also built a team with an eye toward the future.
In his second season at UW, Christensen's young team faced one of the nation's most difficult schedules. Wyoming playing three teams that were ranked in the Top 5 in the nation at the time the Cowboys faced them (No. 3 Boise State, No. 4 Texas and No. 5 TCU) and played a fourth Top 10 ranked team in No. 10 Utah. Wyoming ended Christensen's second season on a high note, defeating archrival Colorado State, 44-0, in the season finale. Eight Cowboys earned All-Conference recognition at the conclusion of the season, and one of those All-Conference performers was free safety Chris Prosinski, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft (the 121st overall pick) by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wyoming Football hired its dynamic and innovative new leader on Dec. 1, 2008, as University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman announced that Christensen, then the Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator at Missouri, had been selected as the new head coach of the Cowboys.
"We are thrilled to be able to attract a coach with the experience that Coach (Dave) Christensen brings to our program," said Burman at the time of Christensen's hiring. "He is one of the great offensive minds in college football, and he will bring a very exciting brand of football to Jonah Field.
"The plan he presented to us for building a comprehensive program was the best we heard in our search process. I am confident that he will put an outstanding coaching staff together, and that they will hit the ground running. With Dave leading Cowboy Football, I believe our program will make dramatic progress in the coming years and return to a position of prominence in the Mountain West Conference."
After serving as an assistant coach at the college level for 24 years, Christensen expressed the emotions he felt upon earning his first head-coaching position.
"I can't tell you how excited I am to be given the opportunity to lead the Wyoming Cowboy Football program," said Christensen. "The opportunity to become a head coach is something I've been preparing for my entire career.
"This is a great job at an outstanding university. Wyoming has a rich football tradition, and combined with the new, state-of-the art facilities, I know we can win here."
Christensen became the 31st coach in Wyoming Football history.
While the offensive coordinator at Missouri, Christensen was named the 2007 National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com and was also runner-up for the 2007 Frank Broyles Award, which honors the top assistant coach in the nation each season.
He helped lead the Missouri Tigers to the Big 12 Championship game in both the 2007 and 2008 seasons as champions of the Big 12 North.
In 2008, Mizzou ranked No. 4 in the NCAA in passing offense (330.4 yards per game), No. 6 in scoring offense (42.2 points per game) and No. 8 in total offense (484.1 yards per game). The Tigers concluded the 2008 season ranked No. 16 in the final USA Today Coaches' Poll, No. 19 in the final Associated Press Media Poll and were No. 21 in the final BCS Rankings entering the college bowl season. Missouri defeated Northwestern, 30-23 in overtime, in the 2008 Valero Alamo Bowl.
The 2007 season saw Missouri conclude the season ranked No. 4 in the final Associated Press ranking. That was the highest season-ending ranking in school history for the Tigers. Mizzou finished the season by defeating Arkansas, 38-7, in the Cotton Bowl, giving the Tigers a school record 12th win on the season. His 2007 offense ranked No. 5 in the nation in total offense (490.3 yards per game), No. 8 in scoring offense (39.9 points per game) and No. 9 in passing offense (314.1 yards per game).
Christensen served as an assistant coach under Gary Pinkel from 1992 to 2008 -- first at the University of Toledo from 1992-2000 and then at Missouri from 2001-08. Christensen was Pinkel's offensive coordinator from 1997-2008, and coached the offensive line for 17 seasons at Toledo and Missouri.
Beginning in 2005, Christensen devised and implemented one of college football's most exciting, no-huddle, spread offenses.
In 2007, Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting, while Christensen's offense scored a school record 558 points, far surpassing the previous Missouri record of 399 points in a single season.
In addition to Daniel's fourth-place finish in the 2007 Heisman Trophy voting, Christensen's offensive unit had three other Tigers earn national honors that year. Senior tight end Martin Rucker and freshman wide receiver Jeremy Maclin were both Consensus First Team All-America selections, marking the first time in Missouri school history that it had two Consensus First Team All-Americans in the same season. Senior center Adam Spieker was named a finalist for the Rimington Award, which honors the nation's top offensive center each season. Spieker also earned Third Team All-America honors from Associated Press.
Three additional Tiger offensive linemen earned All-Big 12 honors in 2007, including Tyler Luellen (a Second Team selection), Colin Brown (Honorable Mention All-Big 12) and Kurtis Gregory (Honorable Mention All-Big 12).
His final season at Missouri, the Tigers once again had two Consensus First Team All-Americans in Maclin and tight end Chase Coffman. Coffman also was selected as the winner of the 2008 John Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end, while Maclin was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which honors the nation's top wide receiver. Joining Coffman and Maclin as All-Big 12 offensive performers in `08 were: running back Derrick Washington (Second Team); offensive lineman Gregory (Second Team); offensive lineman Tim Barnes (Honorable Mention); offensive lineman Brown (Honorable Mention); quarterback Daniel (Honorable Mention) and wide receiver Tommy Saunders (Honorable Mention).
The Tigers finished the 2006 season with the nation's No. 8 ranked offense, averaging 425.6 yards per game, and that included the nation's No. 10 ranked passing attack, at 276.2 yards an outing. Two of Christensen's linemen earned All-Big 12 honors, as senior tackle Joel Clinger earned First Team honors and Spieker was an Honorable Mention selection.
Christensen's offense underwent a major transformation to a spread, no-huddle attack in 2005, and was very successful in the first year running the new system. His attack, executed by record-setting quarterback Brad Smith, ended the 2005 season ranked in the top four in the Big 12, and in the Top 40 nationally in three major categories - rushing (205.3 yards per game - No. 3 in the Big 12 and No. 17 in the NCAA), total offense (429.8 ypg - No. 4 in the Big 12 and No. 24 in the nation) and scoring offense (30.8 points per game - No. 4 in the Big 12 and No. 34 in the country).
Despite going to battle each week with a young offensive line that featured just one senior starter, the offense jelled right away, as the Tigers rolled to 657 yards in the 2005 season opener against Arkansas State. That was just three yards shy of the school record. Three of Christensen's linemen won All-Big 12 honors in 2005, led by senior left guard Tony Palmer, who earned First Team league honors for the first time in his career. He was joined by sophomore center Spieker and junior right tackle Joel Clinger, who both won Honorable Mention acclaim. Palmer also earned Second Team All-Big 12 accolades in 2004, and eventually became a seventh-round draft pick in the 2006 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Rams.
In 2003, the Tiger rushing attack proved to be one of the most potent in the nation, as MU led the Big 12 Conference, and ranked sixth nationally with an average of 237.5 yards per game. That marked the first time since 1960 that MU won a conference rushing championship, when the Tigers led the old Big Eight with a mark of 249.3 yards per game. Its 3,087 rushing yards for the season ranked second in school history. Senior center A.J. Ricker and senior tackle Rob Droege each earned First Team All-Big 12 honors for their play in 2003, while sophomore guard Palmer earned Honorable Mention All-Big 12. Ricker and Droege both signed free agent contracts in the spring of 2004 with the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. Scott Paffrath signed a free agent deal with the Washington Redskins following the 2005 NFL Draft.
Under Christensen's guidance, Mizzou featured one of the most potent attacks in school history in 2002. The Tigers averaged 30.0 points per game, and the 360 points scored were the third-most in MU history at the time. Christensen's balanced run-pass attack turned redshirt freshman quarterback Brad Smith into one of the nation's most talked about players, as he became just the second player in NCAA Division I-A history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season. Mizzou's emphasis on a disciplined attack also produced an offense that led the nation in fewest turnovers, with just 11 offensive giveaways in 12 games.
In his final seven seasons at the University of Toledo, the Rockets' offense set or reset some 75 school records. During that period, the Rockets posted an undefeated and Mid-American Conference (MAC) championship season in 1995 and won three MAC West titles (1997, 1998 and 2000). They concluded the `95 campaign with a 40-37 overtime win over Nevada to capture the Las Vegas Bowl Championship. In 1999, Toledo was 10th in the country in rushing (239.2) and led the nation in yards per attempt (5.35).
Christensen coached center Andy McCollum while at Toledo. McCollum was a First Team All-MAC selection in 1992, and would later become the starting center for the St. Louis Rams of the NFL. Another Toledo lineman, Colin Westrich, was named Third Team All-American by the Sporting News in 1999.
Christensen came to Toledo from Idaho State University where he coached the offensive line, tight ends and running backs for two seasons (1990-91). Prior to his stint at Idaho State, he served two seasons as a graduate assistant offensive line coach under Don James at the University of Washington in 1988 and `89. Christensen also played football for the Huskies for three seasons from 1980-82.
Christensen earned a bachelor of arts degree in sociology from Western Washington in 1985 and a master of science degree in college instruction and sports science from Eastern Washington in 1988.
He is 52 years old, born Jan. 17, 1961. Christensen and his wife Susie have three children, Katie, D.J. and Emily.

This policy brief reviews what happened in the 1991 Gulf War and presents possible scenarios and factors affecting movements of refugees and internally displaced persons in Iraq. Focusing primarily on four potential scenarios, the author evaluates the relative likelihood of each scenario and implications each would have for refugees and IDPs.
This special issue of the Forced Migration Review (FMR) was produced in collaboration with MPI. FMR felt that the implications for refugees and IDPs of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 and the events which followed were so significant that they warranted changing our publishing schedule to accommodate this additional issue.

New Year's Eve dawned a little chilly Monday for Volusia and Flagler County residents, with lows in the mid to high 40's.
Revelers can expect a slight chance of sprinkles before 11 a.m., and partly sunny with a high near 69, according to the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
As the day wears on and the New Year approaches, the temperature is expected to reach about 53, with calm winds.
On Tuesday, the first day of 2013, residents and visitors can expect to enjoy a high near 75 with a light southwest wind becoming south southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
Although the roads may be busy later, the Florida Highway Patrol reports no accidents or road blockage in either county.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 10 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SunshineB Love this Chair! I love, love, love this little chair. It is the perfect side chair to fill that empty spot in my living room. The colors are just what I had hoped, maybe even prettier. The chair is quite comfortable. Assembly is simple. Only bad thing is, my cat likes it too. September 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancymac In love with this chair!!!!! We bought two of these for our little coffee/breakfast nook. We are obsessed with them. They are EXTREMELY comfortable and absolutely adorable. One of the best buys in our new home! July 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diwoman1 Adorable and comfortable! I'm so happy with this chair, that I wanted another. I had to drive to the Glendale store to buy the only floor model in stock. This chair has been discontinued so it's very hard to find. I finally found a store in Santa Barbara that has 6 in stock. I purchased another and will pick up on our way up the coast and deliver to our vacation home in Central Ca. Worked out well for that, but if you're expecting to find one in So. Cal, forget checking, as I already did You'll have to go to Santa Barbara or San Diego to find one in stock. Otherwise, they can ship anywhere, but you'll pay $50 for shipment. A very cute chair...well constructed and very comfortable, even for my 6'2" husband! And, I'm short, so I love it!!! Pattern is also very nice tones. I give it 5* It does however, have a rating about the flame retardant they used on the fabric, but I simply don't care. June 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jenny27 Great chair! Great price! Bought two chairs for extra seating in our living room. Absolutely love them! Very comfortable and amazing print! Great buy!! November 28, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by windy city perfect whimsy I was looking for an expensive looking, but not costing, reading chair for an empty corner of my living room and this was right on the mark! Beautiful contrasting detail from front to back and great colors that make it easy to pull in almost any color scheme. Plus I got it on sale! Great deal. Comfy to sit on, [...] August 30, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sarah Great Deal I bought two of these chairs for my small apartment living room. I had two minor set backs: - One of the holes that came pre-drilled to attach the chair legs was slightly out of alignment so that one leg is not flush to the base by a few millimeters. - The fabric on the back of this chair puckers a little bit in the middle. However, the fun pattern, muted colors, and comfort of these chairs make them a good buy; especially for the price. They really are comfortable to sit in and the only assembly required is to attach the four legs. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, especially considering the price. September 6, 2011

There are hundreds of Salt Lake artists who are sought after around the country, and a handful of them got their start at Artist's of Utah 35 x 35.
We all like living in a place where there's a thriving art scene, but it can be hard to keep up with all that's going on in Utah. The state is home to hundreds of artists, many with national reputations. By the time you hear about these artists, though, their works may be in such demand or fetching such high prices that they seem out of reach. Younger artists may be more accessible, but how do you find them? Enter 35x35.
Van Chu: Mushrooms and Trees 13" 24″ x 72″, Digital Photography/Archival Pigment Print.
The show, which occurs every three-and-a-half-years and is put on by Artists of Utah, features 35 emerging artists who are 35-years-old or younger. In 2009, a lucky collector purchased work by photographer Van Chu, who sold his first piece at 35 x 35 and his work now sells nationally for thousands of dollars. Chu's photographs have a painterly quality created by dropping pigment in to water. As the pigment moves, it swirls through the water and Chu captures the serpentine paths with his camera.
Mary Toscono: King David, 30" x 44", graphite, gesso, watercolor
Mary Toscano, who has exhibited at dozens of local galleries, is one of the inaugural residents at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA). Like Chu, she sold her first professional first piece at 35 x 35. Toscano has made a name for herself through simple, elegant line drawings accented by colored washes.
"One of the most satisfying things about the 35 x 35 show is knowing that we're showcasing new talent. It's difficult for young artists to get their work shown, but it needs to happen more often because there are so many talented people out there like Van and Mary. We're thrilled to have them back this year. And their work is hanging alongside several artists who are just getting started, promising artists are probably the beginning of a long and successful career," says Shawn Rossiter, founder of Artists of Utah.
Amanda: Undress: September 2012; approximately 1.0' x 5.5' x 2.0'; cut and folded September 2012 Vogue Magazine, dress form
Some of the unique works on display include a intricate dress made entirely of meticulously folded paper from fashion magazines by Amanda Oechsle, nuanced tent sculptures constructed out of lace by Venessa Gromek, and interactive photographs that light up when people walk past by Christine Baczek. The exhibit has a range of avant-garde pieces and more traditional pieces that include photographs, paintings, and drawings.
"The artwork in this exhibit demonstrates the range of work that's being done by some of Utah's young artists. This is a great opportunity for the community to see work that hasn't been on display anywhere else, or to simply check out the innovative work of up-and-coming artists with a new point of view," says Rossiter.
35 x 35 will be on display at Finch Lane Gallery from March 8 through April 26. An artist's reception will be held on March 8 from 6pm to 8pm. Finch Lane Gallery is located at 1325 E. 100 S. (Reservoir Park). The gallery is open Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm. During gallery stroll, on the third friday of each month, they are open from 6pm to 9pm.
Dale Thompson is a writer at 15 Bytes, Utah's Art magazine, and is a contributor for Salt Lake magazine.

MEA-MFT is the union created when the Montana Education Association and the Montana Federation of Teachers merged September 1, 2000.
MEA-MFT is one of the oldest advocacy groups in Montana. Frontier educators first organized MEA in 1882. MFT traces its roots to a short-lived effort to organize faculty at now the University of Montana in 1918 and a successful and permanent beginning in 1934 among public school educators in Butte and Anaconda.

This Week in Vandal Track & Field:
NCAA Championships (June 6-9) Des Moines, Iowa
Mike Marshall (Men's Javelin)
Thursday, June 7 (12:30 p.m. PT)
Looking Forward
Idaho advances a men's student-athlete to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships for the fifth year in a row in junior Mike Marshall. The Vandal men have now been represented at the outdoor NCAA Championship meet in 17 of the last 18 seasons. During that span, 25 different Vandal men have qualified a total of 44 times and earned a combined 22 All-America honors. Marshall will compete in the men's javelin throw final on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. (PT).
Historically Speaking
Idaho has done pretty well throughout history at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Half of the team's qualifiers since 1995 have earned All-America accolades. With 16 different events represented during that span, Idaho has sent a diverse group of athletes to the national finals. In the men's javelin specifically, Idaho has now had four different qualifiers a total of seven times. Oscar Duncan leads the team with three berths and three All-America honors in 1996 (11th), 1997 (11th) and 1998 (15th). Donald Johnson is Idaho's highest finisher in the event with a third-place finish in 1937 and a fourth-place slot in 1936, while Craig Christianson took 18th in 1983.
A Quick Recap
Idaho sent 13 total competitors - seven men and six women - to the NCAA West Preliminary two weeks ago at Austin, Texas. At the meet, Idaho produced one NCAA Championships qualifier in junior Mike Marshall (men's javelin) and five total top-25 finishes. Seven of the team's competitors finished at or above their seeded positions, highlighted by senior Andrew Blaser, who took 14th in the men's 110m hurdles with a career-best all-conditions time of 13.84. His time was above the allowable wind reading, but would have been second-fastest in school history.
Marshall Takes Another Step
Mike Marshall's journey from walk-on to conference champion to NCAA qualifier took another step two weeks ago when the junior added NCAA Finalist to his athletic résumé. With his 12th-place finish at the NCAA West Preliminary in the javelin with a mark of 222-11 (67.96m), Marshall becomes Idaho's first NCAA finalist in the event since school-record-holder Oscar Duncan in 1998. Marshall, who has a career-best of 230-6 from this year, is gunning for Duncan's all-time Idaho standard of 238-6, which the three-time All-American set in 1996.
Re-Writing History...Regularly
Idaho track and field has broken at least one outdoor school record in 16 of the last 17 seasons before this year. A record has yet to fall in 2012, but not for lack of trying. Idaho men have made 13 all-time top-10 entries this season, while the Vandal women have added 15 to the books. Most impressive about the 28 total top-10 marks is the fact that they've come from 19 different individuals and one relay group. Nine of those individuals and three of four members in the women's 4x100m relay are first-time entrants into the record book. Junior Mike Marshall, who currently ranks third all-time at Idaho in the javelin, is the team's last hope for a record-setter this year. With a career best of 230-6, he needs to catch Oscar Duncan's 1996 heave of 238-6 to re-write Vandal history.

Toepraak van minister Reynders ter gelegenheid van de conferentie 'Kosovo and the EU: how to realize together the "European perspective"?'
Pristina, April 10th 2013
American University in Kosovo
"Kosovo and the EU: how to realize together the "European perspective"?
Didier REYNDERS
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and European Affairs of Belgium
(check against delivery)
Dear Interim President Shaun Byrnes,
Dear professors,
Dear students,
I am delighted to be in Pristina today, for my first time, and to have the chance to share with you my views on how the EU and its member states can bring life, together with you, to the European perspective and on the enlargement strategy of the European Union more in general. Next year, in Belgium and so many other countries of Europe, we shall commemorate the beginning of the first World War in 1914. Uncountable ceremonies and activities will be held on the former battlefields (Belgium counts alas too many of them) to remember the sufferings of our forebears in their combat for liberty and peace and to show to the younger generations the horrors of war and the benefits of peace. Being here today, in the Balkans, where it all began with one gun shot in Sarajevo on June 28th,1914, I cannot but hope that 100 years after that tragedy important new steps towards the integration of Europe can be accomplished, not just for you, but for all the countries of the Balkans that have their ultimate future in the European Union.
I am especially happy to be able to talk to an audience of young people that will form the dynamic core of the Kosovo society in a few years' time. When we talk about a perspective, it is about the future, and that future is yours. What is happening now in your country and in the region of the Balkans at large is of the utmost importance for you and your own future. So I thank you very much for your interest in this subject and I hope we can spend an interesting moment of exchange together.
Only 5 years after the end of the Second World War, in a context of uncertainty and disarray, the six founding states made the courageous choice, on a proposal of Konrad Adenauer and Robert Schuman, to lay the basis of what has now become the European Union, based on shared values such as peace, freedom, solidarity or the rule of law.
From 1973 until 2007, the European Union membership has been enlarged six times. The last enlargement waves have significantly contributed to the reinforcement of democracy, the rule of law and of security in most parts of Europe. These enlargements also have made possible to strengthen the EU in order to address global challenges like climate change, competition or energy security. Moreover, the 27 and soon 28 member states work together to solve common issues and defend common positions.
The level of integration reached by the European Union is without comparison in the world: today candidates must adopt over 130.000 – 140.000 pages of legislation before joining. In the past months, the level of e.g. the economic integration, in particular in the euro zone, has been considerably deepened again and this movement will go on in the foreseeable future.
Today, around 500 million people live in our prosperous and stable Union. The Member states reconfirmed ten years ago, during the second EU-Western Balkans Summit in Thessaloniki, the European perspective of the Western Balkans countries which was already announced at the first ever meeting in Zagreb in 2000. This reconfirmation meant a clear choice to spread further the European objectives of prosperity, peace and stability.
For Belgium, the future of the Balkan countries and of Kosovo lie within the European Union; we all stand ready to help these countries to move closer to the EU.
Belgium supported Kosovo's independence from the very beginning in February 2008. Not only within the EU institutions but also in multilateral fora such as the IMF, the World Bank or the BERD, Belgium has defended the interests of Europe's youngest nation and its integration as a responsible and constructive member of the concert of nations.
Belgium was one of the first EU Member States which offered the young independent republic of Kosovo assistance through the organization of a training session on EU policy for Kosovar diplomats and civil servants in September 2009. This training session, which took place in Brussels, gave the young diplomats and civil servants the opportunity to discuss many themes of interest, such as law enforcement and internal security, public diplomacy, consular assistance, visa policy and migration management. The young trainees had also the opportunity to meet with officials of the European Commission and to visit the European Parliament. This training session turned out to be a great success and was repeated in October 2012 for another group of ten young diplomats.
In addition, Belgian experts also delivered assistance to Kosovo through the TAIEX-instrument of the European Commission. The Federal Police participated two times in 2011 in TAIEX expert missions on arms legislation. In 2011 and 2012, Belgian experts took part in a workshop in Pristina on the prevention, control and diagnostics of diseases in the bee population and in a seminar on combating terrorism. Further, the Belgian health authorities organized in November 2012, together with DG SANCO of the Commission, a study visit in Belgium for officials from the Ministry of Health of Kosovo.
The realization of this European future and the pace of the accession lie nevertheless to a large extent in your hands. I don't want to underestimate the difficult reforms ahead, nor the political patience necessary to explain to your citizens that the path will be long and that it will require numerous and sometimes painful reforms. But after these demanding efforts, they will in the end take benefit from it. Your political leaders have a historic role to play and therefore a historic opportunity to deliver on the promises of European integration made to your people: by not creating unrealistic expectations and by demonstrating the political maturity expected from countries with the ambition of joining the EU. The end of supervised independence last September meant that Kosovo is now taking full and accountable responsibility for the future of its citizens and institutions, including a fair and secured treatment of its minorities.
In that regard and in the context and the spirit of the credibility of a process based on clear understandings, I would like to stress our mutual responsibility:
- The member states and the Commission must continue to make sure that each accession application is judged step by step and handled upon its own merits, rewarding genuine progress of a candidate country on its path towards the EU, without artificial timeframes nor interference of bilateral issues outside EU obligations. Indeed, we attach great importance not to "import" major bilateral issues within the EU; on the contrary, full attention must be given to the reinforcement of good neighbourly relations.
- Any applicant can only join the EU once it will be fully prepared to bear the responsibilities of membership. On the side of applicant countries, this supposes the awareness that the path will be long and will require numerous and sometimes difficult reforms and fostering a climate allowing for regional cooperation and good neighbourly relations.
The rule of law is at the centre of our preoccupations and for that reason the Commission has proposed to reschedule the succession of negotiating chapters: we now start the accession negotiations by opening difficult and essential chapters related to the rule of law, fundamental rights, freedoms and judiciary and we close them only at the end of the whole process in order to give more time to begin with these reforms.
We shall be able to deliver together on the promise to our citizens - reunification of the Western Balkans with the European family, in a common space of peace and prosperity – if only through our mutual efforts in supporting the credibility of the enlargement process
2012 has seen major progress by a number of countries of the Western Balkans on their road towards the European Union: Croatia will very soon become the 28th member state; accession negotiations have been opened with Montenegro; Serbia has been declared a candidate country.
For Kosovo as well, the developments are becoming more and more tangible: the visa liberalisation dialogue started in January 2012 and the related roadmap, a structured dialogue on the rule of law, was launched in Brussels last May; the feasibility study for a Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the EU and Kosovo was presented by the Commission in October 2012, as well as the confirmation by the Commission of its readiness to negotiate a framework agreement for Kosovo's participation in EU programs.
In 2013, it is crucial that the momentum for enlargement is maintained by adopting and implementing with vigour the necessary reforms. The Council conclusions on enlargement of last December have set an ambitious programme for the first half of 2013. Next week, the Commission will present reports on Albania, the Former Republic Yugoslav of Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo. We expect the candidate countries to meet the expectations and to deliver on the necessary conditions, so that we can go ahead with the opening of the accession negotiations with Serbia and with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. I also hope we will be able to approve a negotiating mandate to start negotiations with Kosovo on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement.
For the sake of completeness, I also briefly mention the other ongoing enlargement processes: the negotiations with Iceland are on the right track: we expect that after the elections, the new government will continue to show the same willingness of joining the EU.
On Turkey, after three years of stagnation in the negotiation process, Belgium hopes that a new negotiating chapter could be opened soon and that this could forebode a more general revival of the pace of negotiations.
For Montenegro, in accordance with the new approach adopted for the next accession negotiations, we emphasize the importance to open the chapters 23 (on a.o. fundamental rights) and 24 (on justice, freedom and security) at the beginning of the process in order to give this candidate more time to prepare the necessary reforms.
For Albania, the granting of candidate status is subjected to the completion of key measures in the areas of judicial and public administration reform and revision of the parliamentary rules of procedure. Additional actions undertaken by the Albanian authorities to fight corruption and organised crime as well the conduct of the election on June 23rd will be also taken into account.
Finally, Bosnia and Herzegovina should bring its Constitution into compliance with the European Convention of Human Rights before the entry into force of Stabilisation and Association Agreement. The "ball is in its court" and we encourage Bosnia and Herzegovina to enhance its efforts in that way.
What do we expect exactly from Kosovo in order to move closer towards the EU?
1. To meet the four short term priorities - concerning the rule of law; public administration, protection of minorities and trade - , which are identified in the Feasibility study.
2. To continue to implement in good faith all agreements reached with Belgrade in the framework of the Dialogue which was facilitated by our High Representative, Lady Ashton. A tangible and sustainable improvement in relations between Kosovo and Serbia is needed and should gradually result "at the end of the day" as people say, in the normalisation of these relations. The government of Kosovo will have to give sufficient 'room' or local autonomy to the Serb communities, mainly in the North of Kosovo, according to the best standards of human rights and the rule of law. On the other hand, the Serb government will have to accommodate with a situation where a considerable number of persons of Serb descent live from now on in another state, but where they enjoy the highest standards of protection and have meaningful tools to organize their own lives according to their own traditions. This is exactly the same message I gave yesterday during my interesting talks in Serbia. I am very grateful for all the patient and valuable work Cathy Ashton has undertaken in this respect. It was alas not possible to reach an agreement between the parties in the last round of negotiations on April 2nd but I trust that a breakthrough is still possible in the coming days. May be the moment has now come for the EU to put forward some elements of a solution on the more delicate elements, such as on police issues or security? Hence probably a more complex compromise is needed, in which each side can find itself? There is now a momentum which must be used. For it is in the interest of both parties – Serbia and Kosovo – to realize a breakthrough now.
I really hope that the Commission will have at its disposal enough elements in order to present a positive report next week, which should enable the Council to decide on the opening of the negotiations of the Association and Stabilisation Agreement.
Let me seize this opportunity to say a few words on visa liberalisation. It is related to the European perspective, but it is a different process from that of enlargement or of the association agreement. I understand that visa liberalization is a very important issue for your country because it makes the European perspective more tangible for the citizens. The Government has therefore an obligation and a duty towards its citizens to effectively fulfil the criteria defined in the roadmap. In that respect I recall that the visa liberalization process is essentially a technical and merit-based process. Consequently, I underline the importance of a full and rigorous implementation of all the conditions and a clear communication towards the population on the scope and the limits of this decision, in order to avoid any misunderstandings. All of this, trust me, is not because Kosovo citizens would be considered as second rate citizens, neither because of double-standards, but because we consider Kosovo as a future and "fully fledged" member of the European Union with rights ànd duties vis-à-vis its European partners.
Finally, and coming back for a moment on the issue of the rule of law, I want to express my entire support for the difficult and sometimes delicate mission of EULEX Kosovo, the EU's mission created in 2008 in order to assist Kosovo in the rule of law area. In confronting unacceptable practices of corruption, dealing with war crimes, strengthening the judicial structures of the country, this mission plays a key role in assisting Kosovo in reaching to the EU standards. Full cooperation with the Mission is a key element to demonstrate the will of Kosovo authorities to integrate the European dimension. Eulex should be respected and be supported wherever possible, and in the best possible cooperation with other international actors such as KFOR. Belgium for its part plays a small but concrete role in this process by hosting in Brussels the EULEX Special Investigative Task Force. This task force of EULEX is examining more in detail claims on alleged war crimes and trafficking in human organs that were made in a report by the Council of Europe.
To conclude, I should like to emphasize that we strongly encourage the government and all public and private actors to focus without any delay on what is essential for the future prosperity and stability of your country:
- trust;
- full and efficient implementation of the legislation and requirements related to the European process;
- boosting socio-economic development for all;
- guaranteeing against all odds the rule of law and security for each and every citizens at all time.
What the country needs now is a clear vision for the future, and a large democratic consensus to move on. Not just to "tick boxes" on your EU path, neither to please the international community. But rather in the general interest of current and future Europeans and to provide a decent life to all the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo.
As the future generation, dear students, you will play a very important role in this transformation.
You can rely on Belgium's unwavering support in this great and historic adventure.
I thank you for your attention.

text: Rod DeHaven was named the head cross country coach and director of track and field in the fall of 2004 where he trains the distance runners for the men's and women's teams at South Dakota State University. During his time at the helm of the track and field program, the Jackrabbits have enjoyed an overall success not experienced since the 1980s and early '90s. During DeHaven's tenure, school records have been established in 47 different events and SDSU has claimed 44 Summit League event champions. Since joining the Summit League in 2008, the women's track and field team has garnered three runner-up trophies, two indoor and one outdoor, and the men have been steadily building a balanced program as shown by a pair of second place finishes during the 2011 season.While coaching the cross country teams, DeHaven has continued the long standing tradition of excellence at South Dakota State. In 2005, the men's team captured the NCAA Division I Independent Championships, which was their 30th conference title in the program's history and first at the Division I level.The women's team won the 2006 NCAA Division I Independent Championship and the 2008 Summit League Championship, which was their ninth and 10th conference championships. In 2005 and 2007, they lost the respective conference championships by a single point on both occasions. At the 2013 Summit League Cross Country Championships, the men's team won their fourth conference title in five years. The women took home the league title at the 2008 conference meet. In the fall of 2013, cross country runner Trent Lusignan garnered All-American honors as he finished 12th overall at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. Lusignan became the first Jackrabbit to be named a Division I Cross Country All-American since 1973. Lusignan's 12th place finish is also the second highest placing in school history (Bentley, 8th, 1973).In the classroom, SDSU athletes have also set a high mark under DeHaven. In 2005, Brad Lowery was awarded the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship for his achievements as a physics major. In 2007, Becka Mansheim was awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship while majoring in nursing. Stacy Huss became the latest Jackrabbit to earn that same distinction in 2009. Under DeHaven's watch the men's and women's cross country and track and field team have earned recognition as an All-Academic Team from the United States Track and Field Coaches Association. The women's cross country team has routinely ranked within the top-10 teams among all NCAA Division I institutions for their work academically, including a tie for fourth place in 2008.DeHaven, who graduated from SDSU in 1989 with a bachelor of science degree in computer science, ended his collegiate career as one of the most decorated runners in Jackrabbit history.During his four years of cross country competition, he ran to an unprecedented four North Central Conference individual championships and four top-10 finishes at the NCAA Division II national meet. With DeHaven leading the pack, SDSU also captured four conference team championships and the 1985 NCAA Division II National Championship.On the track, DeHaven established seven school records in the middle distance events. Four of those records still stand: the indoor 1,500 meters (3:47.4), indoor mile (4:00.96), outdoor 800 meters (1:48.67) and outdoor 1,500 meters (3:40.17). In 1985, DeHaven was the 1500-meter champion at the NCAA Division II indoor championships and was third at the U.S. Junior championships, earning a spot on the national team where he ran the seventh-fastest U.S. junior 1500-meters all-time (3:42.34).The following year, he earned a Division I All-America award in the mile run, finishing eighth at the NCAA Division I indoor meet. All told, DeHaven earned 16 All-America certificates and won 20 individual North Central Conference championships.After graduation, DeHaven moved to Madison, Wis., and continued to compete in cross country, track and road racing while working full-time as a computer programmer. As a self-coached athlete, he earned a spot on the 1991 US team that competed at the World Cross Country Championships. Later that year, he finished ninth at U.S. Track and Field championships.In 1994, he debuted in marathon competition, posting a time of 2:14:48 at the Twin Cities Marathon. The following year DeHaven established his personal bests at 5,000 (13:40) and 10,000 meters (28:06), finishing fourth at the U.S. Championships at 10,000 meters.Injuries hampered an Olympic bid in 1996 as he finished 10th in the 10,000 meters. However, in 1998, DeHaven emerged as one of the top Americans on the roads, winning the U.S. Half Marathon Championship, posting a time of 2:13:01 at the Chicago Marathon and winning the USA Road Running Circuit. In 1999, DeHaven represented the United States in the World Championships in the marathon, finishing 24th in Seville, Spain.On a hot, steamy day in Pittsburgh, Pa., DeHaven came from behind to win the Olympic Marathon trial. Illness slowed DeHaven to a 69th place finish at the Sydney Olympic Games, but he came back in 2001 to finish sixth in the Boston Marathon (2:12:41) and sixth at the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon (2:11:40).In 2002, DeHaven qualified for his fourth Olympic Trials with a 2:13:16 finish at the Cal International marathon. An injury suffered in late 2003 kept him from starting the marathon trials in Birmingham, Ala.

Young workers need jobs to launch their careers. Older workers need jobs to extend theirs. So when employers have new positions to fill, they're torn between the high value of experienced workers and the low cost of new staffers.
One argument traditionally made in favor of younger employees is that while they can make decisions and acquire new skills more quickly, older workers' minds inevitably experience some decline. But new research into the cognitive abilities of people in middle age and beyond argues strongly against casting them aside.
Barbara Strauch, deputy science editor at The New York Times and author of The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind (Viking, 2010), cites large-scale longitudinal studies completed in recent decades, as well as newly detailed scans of middle-aged (and older) brains, as proof that many of our expectations about mental decline in middle age are just false.
In the Workplace, Brains vs. Bias
"We used to think we lost 30 percent of our brain cells" as we aged, Strauch says, "but now we can watch living brains and count neurons in new and more exact ways, and we can see that some neurochemicals decline, but in general our brains stay pretty intact. We don't see a huge drop-off in healthy brains throughout our lives."
Such findings, Strauch says, "are shocking and really new and also quite encouraging." Not only do our brains retain their cognitive abilities, she says, but in many ways they've been found to be superior to younger brains, especially in areas valuable to the workplace, like judging character, considering a broad range of opinions, and evaluating the potential ramifications of decisions. "Logical reasoning increases as we age beyond our 20s because the brain continues to develop and build connections," Strauch explains. "The physical ability to size up a situation and the experience to make a judgment increases from 40 to 65.

ZF-7877: Add a Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ApplicationTestCase
A class Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ApplicationTestCase should be added that allows to test your MVC application with a given Zend_Application instance.
There is lots of buzz and questions on the mailing lists on how to get Zend App running with Zend Test and it seems not to be an easy task, so we should offer the convenience there.
Benjamin please see my other issue here: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-7839
The goal is the same I believe.
The ControllerTestCase now allows you to specify a Zend_Application instance to the $bootstrap property.

The Summit Land Conservancy was established in 2003, with an idea of working in partnership with local landowners to "permanently protect the remaining agricultural lands, view sheds, animal habitats, waterways, and rangelands in Park City and Summit County," according to its mission statement.
It also raises awareness of preservation and sustainability.
That's why the conservancy joined the Wild and Scenic Film Festival five years ago.
The festival, organized by the South Yuba River Citizen's League, a group of concerned citizens who banded together in 1983 to oppose the construction of two dams on the South Yuba River, debuted 11 years ago with a mission to inspire people and unite communities to heal the earth, said Erin Bragg, conservation director at Summit Land Conservancy.
"The title for this year's Wild and Scenic Film Festival that will take place at the Jim Santy Auditorium on Thursday, April 11, is called "9 Films to Change Your World," and will feature films that are designed to inspire the local population to stand up for conservationism," Bragg said.
The nine films are as follows:
"The Wild and Scenic Film Festival organization has hundreds of films, so we went through and picked the ones that we thought would be good for our organization to present to our community," Bragg explained. "Some of the films, such as 'Public Lands, Private Profits: Boom or Bust,' directly address issues we are experiencing in Utah with mining on public lands. And others, like 'Murder Mouth,' address more general topics such as sustainable eating.
"That film follows a woman who reexamines the way she gets food," Bragg explained. "She has never killed anything bigger than a spider and wants to reconnect the meat she eats with the animal that is killed."
"Murder Mouth" documents how the progresses from picking her own broccoli to catching her own fish to killing and eating a chicken and finally to killing and eating a lamb.
"This film is the one that may be a little hard for the squeamish to watch, but it shows how people can relate to their food," Bragg said. "It ties in with our community because we have some local food providers such as Summit County Beef that offer fresh food to locals."
Setting the tone for the evening will be "Moonwalk."
"It's a short and silent film about slacklining, which is like tightrope walking on a between two red-rock peaks in Southern Utah," Bragg said.
The film's title comes from a scene where a full moon highlights one of the scenes, she said.
In addition, the Wild and Scenic Film Festival screenings will feature two films about whales — "Song of the Spindle" and "Traveler's Between Two Worlds."
"Song of the Spindle" is an animated film in which a man and a sperm whale have a conversation to see which of the two is smarter, Bragg said.
"The other, 'Traveler's Between Two Worlds,' on the other hand, is a live-action piece filmed in Spanish, but has subtitles," she said. "It reminded me of the times when I was in school in Alaska, and we learned about whales. I thought this film would be interesting for kids in Utah and the Park City population, because they don't get to experience something like this in a land-locked state."
The evening will also feature opportunity drawings for prizes, Bragg said.
"Those will take place during intermission," she explained.
This year marks Bragg's first Wild and Scenic Film Festival as an employee with the Summit Land Conservancy, she said.
Bragg, who joined the staff as an intern last September, before being hired on fulltime in January, moved to Utah nearly 15 years ago and recently graduated from the University of Utah with a masters degree in environmental humanities.
"I work on the more science-based projects, and do a lot of the base-line documents for our conservation properties in Park City and Summit County," she said. "After I graduated, I thought the Summit Land Conservancy would be great place to start, and so far it is.
"I'm looking forward to the film festival and know it will be fun and informative," she said.
The Summit Land Conservancy and the Park City Film Series will present the annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival on Thursday, April 11, in the Jim Santy Auditorium at the Park City Library and Education Center, 1255 Park Ave., at 7 p.m. This year's festival, which is rated PG, will feature nine environmental films ranging in length from four minutes to 25 minutes. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Summit Land Conservancy, which works in partnership with local landowners to permanently protect the remaining agricultural lands, view sheds, animal habitats, waterways and rangelands in Park City and Summit County. Tickets are available by visiting www.summitlandconservancy.org .

|Comeback effort not enough
BOISE, Idaho – The Idaho men's basketball team nearly dug itself out of a 23-point second-half deficit, but couldn't get over the hump in a 98-89 loss at Boise State on Wednesday.
Idaho trailed 77-54 with less than eight minutes to play but chipped away over the next seven minutes to make it a two-possession game at 94-89 with 42 seconds left. But the Broncos went 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the last 40 seconds to ice the game.
"I was really proud of our guys," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "Sometimes when you get down 20 with a young team, they quit, but these guys didn't do that tonight. We kept fighting. We showed our passion and we represented the University of Idaho well tonight and battled all the way to the end."
The Vandals drop to 3-4 on the season with the loss while Boise State improved to 5-0.
Idaho senior Stephen Madison scored a season-high 26 points and added eight rebounds. Madison went 9-for-16 from the field and 7-for-8 at the free throw line. Senior Glen Dean added 15 points, aided by a 7-for-7 performance at the foul line and junior Mike Scott added a season-high 14 points. The Vandals shot 51 percent from the field for the game, hitting 31-of-61 shots.
Boise State, however, shot 55 percent and made 11 more free throws than the Vandals. The Broncos ranked third in the nation in 3-pointers made per game entering Wednesday's contest, averaging 11.5, but Idaho held BSU to just two makes on seven attempts. Jeff Elorriaga, who averaged six made 3s per game, went 0-for-1 from long range against the Vandals.
"We had a game plan," Verlin said. "We were going to take Jeff Elorriaga out of the game, because he was making six three-pointers per game coming in and averaging over 20 points per game, and we did that. We adjusted our defense a little bit, which hurt us in some areas, no question about it, but we were not going to let him get a clean look. He got one and it was against our zone, and we only played about three possessions of zone. Our guys did a really nice job there."
The Vandals held Elorriaga scoreless, but BSU's Derrick Marks picked up the slack, scoring 39 points in 25 minute of play by going 21-of-23 at the free throw line and 9-of-13 from the field.
The Broncos held a 35-28 rebounding advantage and outscored Idaho in the paint 54-46. Idaho committed a season-low six turnovers and had 10 assists, and the Vandals capitalized on five BSU giveaways for a 9-5 edge in points off turnovers.
Idaho will visit UC Davis on Nov. 30 before returning home to host Washington State on Dec. 7 at the Cowan Spectrum.
"I have to grow this team up, and I thought they grew up a little tonight," Verlin said. "We got better. I'm not going to let them have a moral victory. You can't accept that when you're the coach of the Vandals, but you also have to build this team and I thought we got a little better tonight."

ZF-2499: Consumer::verify() could be more verbose.
Consumer::verify() can return false in 11 different places. It would easily be my favorite OpenID library if it returned an error code or threw an exception instead of just returning false. This would make implementing and debugging consumer/provider code much friendlier.
I'm not sure how feasible it would be, but could verify possibly return Zend_Auth_Result?
it should also throw a Zend_OpenId_Exception in the places where it currently return false.
Now Zend_OpenId_Consumer::getError() may return explanation in case of login(), check() or verify() failure.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

ZF-10273: Zend_Cache_Frontend_Function->_makeId should be public
The _makeId method of the cache Function frontend should be public. This would allow us to remove a cached result if the result is not the one to be cached. For example: I wrapped a http request call and if the results is a non 200 http code I wouldn't want to be cached and enforce to be request until I get some content.
This already was done in version 1.10.7 see ZF-9970. Thanks by your report.

Department of Parks and Recreation Takes Students on Fall College Tour
Posted on 11/26/2013 11:28 am
The Department of Parks and Recreation hosted a Fall College Tour, and provided high school students the opportunity to visit colleges and universities in Maryland, Washington D.C. and Virginia.
The City's college tour looks to take high school students on a guided tour of each college campus; meet with faculty and seek advice from counselors of their perspective major; speak with financial aid representatives to learn about potential scholarship and financial aid opportunities; and meet with admissions counselors to learn more about each school's admissions policies and deadlines.
"If we want our young people to be our future leaders and have a positive impact on the community, we must expose them to different colleges, universities and institutions of higher learning," said Mayor Dennis P. Williams. "Parks and Recreation's college tour provides children with a valuable opportunity to get the college experience firsthand."
This year, 35 students, who were in the 10th through 12th grade, attended the Fall College Tour and visited the University of Maryland Baltimore-County, American University, College of William and Mary, Hampton University and Norfolk State University.

More: Congratulations on your new album, In the Time of Gods.
Dar Williams: Thank you. I am really excited.
More: Why this particular title?
DW: I went through so many titles before choosing this one because it refers to a lot of Greek mythology and each song on this album refers to a different god.
More: Are you a big fan of Greek mythology?
DW: I was into it as a kid, and so was my own kid. We used to listen to the Percy Jackson audiobooks in the car. I mean, kids today are really into the Greek gods and Greek myths.
More: Hence the idea was born?
DW: Actually, the catalyst for this project came to me while I was looking at a beautiful empty highway in Canada at dusk in March, just after it had rained. The sky was silver, the lamps looked industrial and the land was shining. I had this picture of a biker in my head. Then I began thinking about what a great time he would have. Soon I started to imagine an epic adventure, and I thought of Hermes, the messenger of the dead. As I began to drive I had this story in my mind of a woman calling out to Hermes, who took her out on his motorcycle and tried to seduce her. Then I thought of all these archetypes I could springboard off of.
More: How would you describe these 10 songs?
DW: I think these songs explore many of today's most challenging social issues, which are told against the parables of Greek mythology. When I look at the present and there is this biblical apocalyptic showdown, the way these storms and human events are the crescendo up to one big judgment day—I just don't buy it. When I look at things as a clash of egos and ideologies, strengths and weaknesses, very similar to Greek mythology, that makes a lot of sense to me.
More: Your first single on the album is called "I Am the One Who Will Remember Everything." What does that mean?
DW: I was thinking about the cycles of history. About how radically angry, un-parented children—let's say, war orphans—can go on to become the angry, battling adults of the future. I thought of the goddess Hera, the queen of the Greek gods on Olympus, as the goddess of families and of respecting all the ordinary, day-by-day civilizing of children that parents and communities need to do. She was the narrator—that is, until I read that she was not the goddess of families, she was the goddess of marriage. She hates children. [Laughs.] So I created my own narrator, a warrior goddess of children. I thought, "There's got to be one out there."
More: A female warrior. That's interesting.
DW: When I wrote it, I was thinking specifically of the Taliban, and how they, who stone women and pull men off bicycles to measure their beards, seem like such rigid, angry children. They are, many of them, orphans of Afghanistan's war with the Soviet Union some 20 years ago. They are radically un-parented children. Their authority figures are ideologies, not real adults who give day-to-day lessons and read little parables like Curious George and Little Bear.
More: You are known to write about your own personal experiences.
DW: It is really cool to locate little bits of yourself in your songs.
More: Do you consider yourself a natural songwriter?
DW: I love writing stories because it calms down the hamsters racing around in your head.
More: So it's your emotional outlet.
DW: Yes. It is very much the kind of thing I will explore. Songwriting is like creating pearls. You have to allow yourself the process of going through the ups and downs and give everything time, similar to how pearls are formed. You are building something you can capture, like a moment of beauty. If you catch it before the process is complete you will have a lot of sand in your mouth.
