One of the most important regional campus service is providing information about financial aid and scholarships. For students who qualify, a number of financial aid opportunities are available, including the Federal Perkins Loan, the Ohio Instructional Grant Program, the Federal Pell Grant Program and other special aid programs. Financial help may also be available through the Federal College Work-Study Program or through other part-time job opportunities. Local employers often seek part-time help through Regional Campus offices. While each campus has scholarship funds available, the amount and number of scholarships and the requirements for them vary considerably. All of the campuses have funds available for short-term loans. Because of the variety in number and character of these programs, it is suggested that interested students contact the financial aid advisor of the campus they wish to attend.
Cost: A differentiated tuition and fee structure exists for students attending a regional campus and it is generally lower than the tuition and fees charged to students attending the Kent Campus. One important advantage to students attending a Regional Campus is that they can live at home, thus saving room and board expenses.
Basic Skills Assessment: After the student is admitted to Kent State University, the student must complete a basic skills assessment in mathematics, reading and English if they are a first time in college student. This assessment information is important to ensure a student's success in college, and, in conjunction with an academic advisor, will further assist in defining the appropriate level of coursework for a student. If the assessment results identify the need for additional preparation in reading, studying, mathematics or composition, the student will be required to enroll in specific developmental courses to insure college readiness.
Advising: Regional Campuses consider advising to be an essential component in student success. The role of the advisor is to guide the student in the development of a degree completion plan to monitor the academic progress toward completion of the degree; to assist the student in making a realistic self-assessment of academic potential in choosing a program of study; to be a source of referral to services provided for students' and to meet with students prior to each registration period to discuss course options and to update the file.
Student Accessibility Services: The Regional Campuses are committed to providing equal access to students with disabilities. Each campus has a student disability coordinator who works with students to identify appropriate academic accommodations and support services to foster success at the university. Services for students with disabilities are determined by appropriate educational, medical and/or psychological documentation provided by the student. After documentation is reviewed and the disability is verified, students receive a letter of accommodations to present to instructors, and instructors then will know how best to work with students to meet their individual needs. If students are requesting accommodations, it is suggested that they contact the student disability coordinator on the campus they plan to attend at least two months prior to enrollment so that accommodations can be in place at the beginning of the semester. Contact the student disability coordinator for more information.
Other Support Services: An important feature of the Regional Campuses is a commitment to help students become successful. Many students enter directly from high school, while others combine full-time jobs and families with classwork. Success in college often depends upon students utilizing the campus support services. Other student support services on the Regional Campuses include career planning; learning resource centers and labs; academic success workshops; veteran services; tutoring; and student activities, clubs and organizations.
Associate degrees are awarded for the successful completion of 61 or more semester hours of coursework. They are designed to fulfill two major purposes: to permit students to complete the freshman and sophomore years of a baccalaureate program; or to prepare them for immediate employment in a technology field. While associate degrees are awarded after the successful completion of at least 61 semester hours, it should be noted that most programs actually require additional hours to complete. Students who are studying part time should expect to take more than two years to complete their programs.
The Associate of Arts is awarded to students who successfully complete a minimum of 61 semester hours toward the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Fine Arts, the Bachelor of Business Administration, the Bachelor of General Studies or the Bachelor of Music degrees. The degree can become the foundation for baccalaureate programs. Students in the degree must fulfill the 36-hour Kent Core.
The Associate of Science is awarded to students who successfully complete a minimum of 61 semester hours toward a Bachelor of Science degree. The degree can become the foundation for baccalaureate programs. Students in the degree must fulfill the 36-hour Kent Core.
The Associate of Applied Business is awarded to students who successfully complete prescribed coursework in any of the following business technology programs: accounting technology, business management technology, computer technology or information technology for administrative professionals. Students in the degree are expected to choose their general studies courses from the Kent Core. All exceptions must be approved by the students' academic advisor. The availability of specific Kent Core courses varies by campus. Many credits earned in a technical associate degree program are also applicable to bachelor's degrees both at Kent State and at other colleges and universities. Which credits apply depend upon the associate degree earned and the bachelor's degree toward which students wish to work. Working closely with an advisor is strongly suggested as students explore options for majors and plan their schedules.
The Associate of Applied Science is awarded to students who successfully complete prescribed coursework in any of the following environmental, health or engineering technology-related programs: aviation maintenance technology; computer design, animation and game design; early childhood education technology; electrical/electronic engineering technology; engineering of information technology; enology; environmental technology; horticulture technology; human services technology; legal assisting; manufacturing engineering technology; mechanical engineering (integrated manufacturing) technology; nursing; occupational therapy assistant technology; physical therapist assistant technology; radiologic technology; respiratory therapy technology; systems/industrial engineering technology; veterinary technology; and viticulture. Students in the degree are expected to choose their general studies courses from the Kent Core. All exceptions must be approved by the students' academic advisor. The availability of specific Kent Core courses varies by campus.
The Associate of Technical Study is open to students who need a specially designed course of study in a technical field. It consists of courses offered at the students' campus that suit the students' career goals. Degree programs must be planned with the assistance of an advisor. The program consists of a minimum 61 semester hours of coursework, including the Destination Kent State: First Year Experience course. At least 30 hours are "technical core" courses that offer education central to students' career goals. At least 15 hours must consist of basic courses that provide background to the technical core; at least 15 hours must be selected from the Kent Core. The degree program should not exceed 73 hours. Degree programs must be approved by the faculty advisor, the campus dean and the Regional College dean. At least 32 hours must be completed after approval of the written degree program proposal.
The Associate of Technical Study may be conferred as a concurrent degree or after receiving a prior degree. At least 24 hours of coursework must be completed after approval of the program, and the program must include at least 24 hours of work in addition to the prior or concurrent degree. Forms for developing an ATS program proposal can be obtained at any Regional Campus student services office.
Degree-Category A: This degree requires a minimum of 61 credit hours selected in consultation with an academic advisor from existing courses at that campus. The program permits students to develop a curriculum based on specific career objectives that are not served by existing degree programs.
Degree-Category B: This degree provides associate degree-level completion based on a technical certificate or other formal technical training program acquired outside Kent State University. Programs available are the following: allied health management technology; diagnostic medical sonography; emergency medical services technology; environment management; industrial trades technology; nuclear medicine technology; radiation therapy technology; and radiologic technology.
Options in Technical Programs: Some business and engineering technology programs have different options from which students can choose. While options provide students with opportunities for focused study, not all options possible within a program are offered at all campuses. Students should check with an advisor to see what program options are available at the campus they are attending.
Several baccalaureate programs at Kent State University can be completed with approximately two years of additional full-time study after completion of an associate degree. Some course selections leading to associate degrees are more applicable than others as components of the bachelor's degrees, and exact requirements for additional study vary. Students interested in baccalaureate completion programs should see an advisor at the earliest possible date.
Each Regional Campus offers programs designed to complete the freshman and sophomore years of most of the bachelor's degrees offered by Kent State. The intention of such programs is to provide students interested in eventually obtaining a four-year degree the opportunity of remaining at home while beginning their degree. It is expected that such students eventually will complete their degree at a Regional Campus, transition to the Kent Campus or transfer to another baccalaureate-granting institution to complete the degree. Some baccalaureate programs may be completed at each Regional Campus. There are also bachelor degrees that are only offered at a regional campus. See the GPS website for baccalaureate offerings per campus.
The Regional Campuses awards approved certificates to students who successfully complete a course of study designed to meet a specific need. These programs consist of a minimum of 15 credit hours and a maximum of 30. Some certificate programs articulate fully or in part with associate degrees and bachelor's degrees. Students wishing to participate in certificate programs must meet the standards set forth in the university admissions policy, except where a program has been designed for a group with unique needs, such as a contract training group. Students already enrolled at Kent State must declare their intent to pursue a certificate before completing 50 percent of the courses required. Courses completed pass/fail or through Credit-By-Examination will not count toward completion of the certificate requirements. If a student already has completed a program requirement by pass/fail or Credit-By-Examination, an alternative requirement will be designated.
To successfully earn a certificate, students must achieve a minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA in the courses required for the following programs: child and family advocacy, computer forensics and information security, database administrator, solutions developer and systems engineer. Students enrolled in the computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.75. All other certificates require a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 in the courses required for the programs.

Denver Cyclist runs stop sign and hits police car on Bike to Work Day.
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From the Denver Post
A bicyclist was taken to the hospital this morning after she apparently ran a stop sign and slammed into the side of a moving Denver Police patrol car.
Shortly before 8 a.m., a woman was riding her bike northbound on Pennsylvania Street, said Detective John White, a spokesman for the Denver Police Department.
Follow the link above for the full story and a picture of the crashed bike and police car. Police car or not, the rider was seriously injured enough to have to go to the hospital and left a good dent. Please obey all traffic signs... not just out of good will but for your own safety!

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 108 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by janeeats Beyond Expectations For the price of this stool, I was not expecting to get this level of quality and value. We purchased these stools sight unseen. The online pictures of these stools seriously do not do them justice. The wooden on the seat is gorgeous. The steel frame is extremely sturdy. December 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimber5k Great quality The swivel stools are very solid, are great quality, and they look fantastic! I used them in my farmhouse style kitchen. I checked around for stools like this at several places, and World Market had the best price. They were easy to assemble, too. Have received lots of compliments. December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jake3497 Heavy, high quality, great stool My parents have three vintage stools like this which inspired me to search for this style. I searched several premium retailers and every reproduction I encountered was not as high quality as the originals. I purchased the World Market version sight unseen based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. The box it arrives in is heavy (great sign. The steel is thick with strong welds, the seat is a thick piece of wood (every other version I saw, with exception of my parent's stools, had a seat 1/4 the thickness.) I don't think you are going to do any better for this style of stool, unless you are able to find a vintage piece which would likely cost much more. A+ November 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BeachBall Awesome Stool! I purchased 3 of these stools online @ 25% off plus free delivery. They arrived quickly and were very well packaged. Super simple assembly - screw on the seat and cap. Like other reviews, I'm amazed at the quality - durable steel, welds are flawless, wood seats are smooth and symmetrical, and most importantly absolutely no wobbling; they are perfectly level! I couldn't be more pleased and would not hesitate to pay full price if they weren't on sale. October 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by riya Solid, functional and attractive stools With their wood and metal construction, these are lovely stools for anyone considering a rustic/industrial look. We use them at the kitchen counter, and then lower them to use as additional seating for our Jackson Table. But unlike some discount furniture (including the Jackson table), they are of solid, lasting wood and sturdy metal (heavy!) and very well constructed. I wish WM would produce more such furniture! Buy. October 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff8771 Great looking stool Great value, stool looks awesome in the home. Exactly what I was hoping for. Easy assembly, high quality look and feel. October 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ecoli Very well made and unusual This are very nice for my kitchen, very easy to assemble, heavy metal material and nice wooden seats, I am a retired microbiologist so I was attracted to them since they remind me of older model lab stools. My family loves them September 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnML Perfect Industrial Stylish Stool! Absolutely LOVE this stool. Compared to other stools of this style, the price is great. It's so stylish, unique, and well made. Very sturdy, doesn't wobble on the pole at all. SO easy to put together, I was shocked. Having put other stools together that I ended up returning, that was a relief. Overall just a really well made stylish product at an awesome price! April 8, 2014

Of course, it would seem a bit silly to have a single site for multiple authors who aren't collaborating, but therein lies the rub: we're all the same person. Yes, yes, it's true. But why use multiple names? Simple: Different names write in different genres. L.A. Witt writes almost exclusively gay male romance (including everything from contemporary to science fiction), plus some trans*/genderqueer. Lauren Gallagher writes heterosexual, lesbian, and bisexual romances. Lori A. Witt sticks to sci fi/fantasy (which may contain some LGBT and/or romantic elements, but are predominantly SFF). Ann Gallagher writes sweet romances and young adult. And finally, Diana Fyre writes horror. So the different names just help readers quickly find the stories that interest them without needing to search through genres that don't.
This is the place for updates and info about me, myself, and I…or, more importantly, the books.
I always love hearing from readers, so feel free to e-mail me or follow me on Twitter.

Lynch a no-show at Seahawks' camp
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch stands on sideline at their NFL Super Bowl XLVIII football practice in East Rutherford, New Jersey, January 30, 2014. (REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton)
Related Stories
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch officially started his contract holdout Friday by not attending the first day of training camp in Renton.
Lynch is in the third year of a four-year, $30 million contract. He received $6 million of it in a signing bonus. He will make $5 million in base salary this season and $5.5 million in 2015, but he wants more money up front or more guaranteed money.
General manager John Schneider addressed Lynch's absence on ESPN radio in Seattle but would not say if the team would restructure the final two years on his contract.
"Without being specific, obviously, we don't talk people's contracts," Schneider said. "We all love Marshawn, but he made a decision not to be here.
"The thing I would say, without getting into it too deep, is we've had a plan in place for several years. Just two years ago, Marshawn was one of the first guys we were able to reward."
Without Lynch, the Seahawks could start Christine Michael or Robert Turbin.
"I think Lynch, obviously, is a heck of a running back," Schneider said. "But just like last year with (cornerback) Brandon Browner, Byron Maxwell stepped up when he had to go. It's the environment here of the next man up. That's no disrespect to Marshawn. Everyone knows what he can do. I mean, the man caused an earthquake."
The earthquake refers to Lynch's 2011 Beast Quake playoff touchdown against the New Orleans Saints.
Schneider said he is pleased with how Michael has performed.
"Christine has worked his tail off and took a big step forward in his work ethic and maturity level," Schneider said. "He's more focused than he has been."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Erika Look so good hanging on wall! I bought these for my daughter's nursery to hold books and they look great! September 26, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by lmstedma Great for Enrty storage I bought the large basket to hang in my entry for miscellaneous everyday items- hats, mittens, etc. When I received it, one of the mounting rings was missing, so I still haven't hung it. I didn't bother with the hassle of returning it, so I'm just going to figure out another way to hang it up. It will look great though! February 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wilburforce Holds my choir music quite well. I needed something to hold my large, cumbersome choir folders. This worked out quite well, and look nice too. January 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SHORTDOG FOR A DIFFERENT PURPOSE I bought this item as I was looking for a narrow waste basket. It works perfectly for that purpose though probably heavier duty than really necessary. If there is a downside, the wire is quite heavy and could possibly scratch delicate surfaces. October 31, 2013

Rocket Sled, Sleighride
This is the Sleighride rocket sled, which was used at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, in 1952-1953 for testing the impact behavior of timers, batteries, fuses, and other components of missiles and bombs. Additionally, it tested the effect of rain against bomb and missile radomes during simulated high speed flights. The rains in the tests were simulated by sprinklers. The sled is fitted with a radome in front and five inert 2.5-KS-18,000 Aerojet-General solid fuel JATO (Jet-Assisted-Take-Off) rocket motors which produced a total of 90,000 pounds of thrust for 2.5 seconds.
The Sleighride was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1967 by the U.S. Army.

Menifee City Council Retains Rob Johnson as City Manager
The Menifee City Council Tuesday gave a vote of confidence to Rob Johnson, voting 5-0 to extend his ...
Johnson, previously serving as a senior manager of community improvement and outreach, was named interim city manager after Bill Rawlings left the position following a change in the council makeup in the November election. Mayor Scott Mann said the announcement was made Tuesday night to show the council's satisfaction with Johnson's performance so far.
"We wanted the public to know how much confidence we have in Rob Johnson," said Mann, who praised Johnson for his role in improving staff morale, transparency in his job and in helping to change the culture at City Hall.
Since Mann and Greg August replaced Darcy Kuenzi and Sue Kristjansson on the city council, three top city officials -- Rawlings, city attorney Joseph Fletcher and city engineer Don Allison -- resigned. Johnson appears to have provided a steadying influence in a political climate that has been rocky at times.
Since his appointment last fall, Johnson has been proactive in many ways, giving detailed reports to the council on city activities and making himself visible at many public events. He has no prior experience as a city manager, however -- something council members consider a priority.
Johnson may get some of that experience with help from an experienced former city manager.
The council Tuesday night announced plans to draft a consultant contract for Shawn Nelson, who retired in 2011 as city manager of Temecula. If his contract is approved by council members, Nelson

Officially it is Clay to be the starter per Mike Sherman, our Offensive Coordinator.
"You'd have to give the nod to Clay as the starter," Sherman said. "He'll play in a bunch of different packages. He'll play in the backfield as well as on the line of scrimmage. He'll play split out. He'll do a lot of different things for us and he's more than capable."
For some reason and based on all of the posturing by coaches and players, I believe Egnew will be the Week 1 starter when this thing shakes out. At the very least, they will be in a number of 2 TE sets Egnew/Clay and Egnew/Sims near the goal line. I think I have even seen a 3 TE set for the goal line.
If Sims was a more consistent receiver, he would be the starter. He truly is a presence out there. However, he will need to learn to play a tad faster, and get a little more flexible turning around to find the ball. I think his "stone hands" have more to do with the fact he has no time to react to the approaching ball because his head takes too long to get around.
Mark Malatesta (a true die-hard phins fan from way back), a good friend of mine said that Egnew cowers when he catches the ball down the middle. I looked for that in the last game, but I could not see it. If anyone else feels Egnew plays "scared," let me know where I can find some video to confirm that. He has looked very good so far to me. His blocking has been outstanding. He has caught the ball well. And, he looks bigger, stronger and faster than last year.
Clay is a tweener. I love this guy. He has the best hands of the bunch, but unfortunately makes critical mistakes all too often. He is smaller than Sims and Egnew. But, with his athletic skill-set he could be very dangerous.
I hope you rise to the occasion men. This is a perfect opportunity to shine. And Keller, we love you. Please call the fellas and give them tips to get better every chance you get.

Upon attaining independence (1948), Israel passed the Law and Administration Ordinance, stipulating that laws prevailing in the country prior to statehood would remain in force insofar as they did not contradict the principles embodied in the Proclamation of the Establishment of the State of Israel or would not conflict with laws to be enacted by the Knesset. Thus the legal system includes remnants of Ottoman law (in force until 1917), British Mandate laws, which incorporate a large body of English common law, elements of Jewish religious law, and some aspects of other systems.
However, the prevailing characteristic of the legal system is the large corpus of independent statutory and case law which has been evolving since 1948. Following the establishment of the state, the Knesset was empowered to enact a series of Basic Laws, relating to all aspects of life, which will eventually be brought together to form a constitution. Many Basic Laws have been passed, outlining the fundamental features of government such as the President, the Knesset, the Government, the Judiciary, the Israel Defense Forces, the State Comptroller, Freedom of Occupation and Human Dignity and Liberty (which addresses violation of a person's life, body or dignity).
The normative superiority of Basic Laws over ordinary legislation was confirmed in 1995, when the Supreme Court assumed the power of judicial review of Knesset legislation violating a Basic Law.
Over the years, a body of case law has developed through Supreme Court rulings which protect civil liberties, including freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and equality as fundamental values of Israel's legal system.
In its capacity as the High Court of Justice, the Supreme Court also hears petitions brought by individuals appealing for redress against any government body or agent.
Although appointed by the government, the attorney-general functions independently of the political system.
Since 1971, the state comptroller also serves as ombudsman, receiving complaints from the public against state or public bodies subject to the comptroller's audit. The state comptroller is elected by the Knesset in a secret ballot for a seven-year term and is responsible only to the Knesset.
The scope of state audit includes the activities of all government ministries, state institutions, branches of the defense establishment, local authorities, government corporations, etc. In addition, the state comptroller is empowered by law to inspect the financial affairs of the political parties represented in the Knesset, as well as their election campaign accounts, imposing monetary sanctions when irregularities are found.

The Local Corridor Preservation Fund tax requires Summit County vehicle owners to pay $10 per vehicle which is then used for highway construction and improvements alongside those roadways.
Summit County council member Dave Ure summed up their complaints saying, "The mayors are not happy about the tax because they are so limited in the ability to use the money in their municipalities."
According to Coalville Mayor Duane Schmidt, since there is very little new development on the East Side, they have no use for the funds. "And I don't know that if we had a big development come in that it wouldn't be covered in the development agreement," he said.
Furthermore, Schmidt said, they had little control over where future developers might want to build.
"I don't know if we have all the answers, and that we should just go around buying up corridors just to buy them up," he said. "You could spend millions of dollars on corridors that you never needed to buy because you were assuming that's where development pressure is going to go."
Kamas Mayor Lewis Marchant said there is no place in Kamas where they can use the funding either.
"If we have a subdivision coming in, we require the developer to put the roads in, so there is no place in Kamas where the funding is needed," he said.
Councilmember Roger Armstrong said that he thought it was a mistake not to plan for future growth.
"I think other communities need to anticipate that they are going to grow and anticipate that growth to ensure infrastructure doesn't grow so tightly around traffic corridors that they can't really address traffic issues when they arise. And that's precisely what these funds would allow them to do," he said.
When the bill was first passed by the Utah Legislature in 2005, the state said it would match the funds collected by the county.
"The state has never owned up to their share of the contract, though, so it's always been the county's money that is used," Councilmember Dave Ure said. "The state collects the money for us, and then they hold it and we have to apply for it to get it back."
Schmidt said the state has "abdicated its responsibility."
Ure added that another complaint the East Side mayors have concerning the funding is that the county never officially notified them of application closing dates.
"I think they have a legitimate reason to be upset. I support the mayors on this. The county did not send out notices as to when the application date was closing," he said.
Schmidt said Coalville officials weren't notified of the deadline until the day before the application was due.
"It made it impossible for Coalville to fill out an application. I would have had to pull an all-nighter to get an application together, and I'm not sure it would have been a quality application," he said.
Consequently, the application deadline was extended an additional 30 days, to March 21.
"So we're working right now to see if there is anything at all that we could put these funds into," Schmidt said.
Schmidt added that the other concerns will likely be re-evaluated and addressed at the next Summit County Council of Government meeting on April 15.
"I think we're going to discuss the need for the tax, whether it's a prudent tax and has value for the whole county at large, or whether its something that's going to only benefit the West Side of the county," he said.

Pauley Perrette on shooting her 10th season as Abby, NCIS's tattooed forensic scientist
PP: There is an international obsession with the character. Each year at Halloween I get thousands of photos of people dressed like her.
On modeling Abby on her rescue dog CeCe
PP: My Chihuahua stands very straight, with her ears perked up. Abby cocks her head and moves just like CeCe.
On her secret past
PP: I was homecoming queen back in Georgia. In real life I'm a blonde with curly hair, and in Georgia that was big, humid hair. I can still wear the homecoming dress I bought off the rack on sale for $10—I'm very frugal.
On sounding off
PP: My band is Stop Making Friends, and I write political, humorous songs. One is about the economy, another is about crazy people, but my favorite is one I wrote for my mom, who passed away last year.
On reaching out
PP: I'm not a "thing" person. I drive an old car, my only vacations are to visit my family, and I don't spend money on clothes or jewelry. I spend my time and money on charities. I work with AIDS projects, crime fighters, animal rescue and the homeless. Right now my energy is directed toward equal rights. Marriage should be for everybody.
On chilling out
PP: My happy place is sitting on my couch drinking a beer and watching TV with my three dogs. I studied criminal science in college, and I wanted to be a detective, so America's Most Wanted was my favorite show, and John Walsh was my hero. But mainly I'm a news junkie.
On her pet project
PP: I teach my dogs sign language, but I've always wished I could actually talk to them. Then I could tell dear CeCe why she shouldn't pee on the couch.

THERE'S SOMETHING TERRIBLY RAW about the stories women post on HarassMap.org, a website started by four friends last year to confront Egypt's epidemic levels of sexual harassment. And that is precisely why the dispatches are so riveting. "Women write these reports when they're really angry, and the storytelling is quite powerful," says cofounder Rebecca Chiao, a U.S.-born women's rights advocate who has lived in Cairo for seven years. "It's very convincing."
And startling. Raised in a culture of female deference, Egyptian women are breaking their centuries-old code of silence, blowing the lid off sexual harassment with gritty, uncensored accounts that hold nothing back. That's triggering a sea change in Egypt, where an increasing number of men and women who follow HarassMap on Facebook and Twitter are taking to the streets to fight the scourge.
HarassMap is just one example of a phenomenon that's galvanizing women around the globe. From North Africa to Middle America, storytelling—once shared intimately around a campfire or across a fence, now uploaded to millions through social media—is helping women combat street harassment, topple brutal dictators and lobby for decent health care. Social media is the medium; women's personal stories are the message. Together they are igniting the world. "I truly believe that women online are the next wave of change," says PunditMom blogger Joanne Bamberger, author of the recently published Mothers of Intention: How Women & Social Media Are Revolutionizing Politics in America. "So many women feel, 'I'm overwhelmed with my life. How can I make a dent?' But women have an ability to connect online through storytelling. They realize, 'Oh, there are people out there like me. They're part of a group called X, and this is what they're doing. Maybe I can reach out to them.' Social media has given people the tools to make that little dent."
Savvy organizers have long known that women are inspired to fight for change when they hear stories that outrage them or when they tell their own tales of social injustice. In the 1970s, consciousness raising was all about sharing stories, particularly those that felt humiliating when kept to oneself but were empowering, even exhilarating, when verbalized. Today Web activists are creating online communities that encourage women to voice their -experiences—then pointing those women toward ways to take direct action, like running for office, meeting with a senator or writing a check. In other words, Web activism hasn't replaced face-to-face organizing; it's just the newest funnel into it. "Women tend to shut down once political rhetoric enters the conversation," says Deanna Zandt, author of Share This! How You Will Change the World with Social Networking. But storytelling can transcend politics. "It reflects our very primal need to be connected to one another: This is what it's like to be in my shoes," she says. "And it can inspire people to make large moves."
Seismic moves. After all, it was a 26-year-old Egyptian woman, Asmaa Mahfouz, whose videotaped calls to action went viral on Facebook and are credited with helping to draw the first large pro-democracy crowds to Cairo's Tahrir Square on January 25. "I, a girl, am going down to Tahrir Square, and I will stand alone," she said, looking directly into the camera from an armchair in her home, her childlike face framed by a headscarf. "Whoever says women shouldn't go to protests because they will get beaten, let him have some honor and manhood and come with me on January 25." On that day, hundreds of thousands of women—and men—poured into Tahrir Square; 17 days later, they dislodged a dictator.
"People's wills are the sparks that can light fires," says Beth Kanter, a Web pioneer who advises nonprofit groups on digital strategy, "and social media is pouring gasoline on it." Certainly there were deep societal forces that led to President Hosni Mubarak's downfall. And without the Egyptian addiction to Facebook—the country has 7.4 million users, making it the Middle East's largest Facebook consumer—Mahfouz's dare might have had little effect. But that's just the point: Women's influence online is growing dramatically, largely because of their affinity for social networks.
GLOBALLY, WOMEN USE the Internet nearly as frequently as men, but they spend 22 percent more time than men on e-mail, instant messaging and -social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, according to a recent study by the digital-marketing firm comScore. Although the under-24 crowd worldwide is still the heaviest user of social networks (in terms of time spent on the sites), women over 45 are driving the greatest growth. "Social networking is a new frontier that older women are embracing," says Linda Boland Abraham, comScore's chief marketing officer. "Men are doing so to a far lesser degree."
In the U.S. and Canada, women spend 30 percent of their total time online in social networks, compared with 25 percent for men. North American women are more likely than men to share photos online (for example, on Flickr), swap information about health (Medpedia), collaborate with their children's teachers (Parentella), get fashion advice (Fashism), play social-networking games (FarmVille), grab coupons (Groupon) and find restaurant deals (Yelp). The trend continues for women in the developing world: Latin American women spend 52 percent of their time in social networks, compared with 45 percent for men.
In repressive cultures, social media may be even more transformative for women, says Mallika Dutt, president of Breakthrough, a global human rights group that uses social media and online games to address issues such as HIV/AIDS, immigration and abuse. "For women who have severe restrictions on their mobility, this allows them to step out into the world in a whole new way," she says. "We can't underestimate the profound power and engagement that social media allows women who have historically had to really fight to be heard."
In India, women trying to escape domestic abuse are using their mobile phones and computers to post personal stories on Breakthrough's website, BellBajao.org (Ring the Bell), and find advice, resources and encouragement. In Saudi Arabia, the only country where driving by women is restricted, women have launched a Twitter and Facebook campaign—Women2Drive—demanding that freedom. One of the charismatic organizers, Manal al-Sharif, a cyber-security consultant and divorced mother of a four-year-old, posted a video of herself on YouTube in May. It showed her at the wheel, in black abaya and designer sunglasses, describing how the de facto ban makes her life impossible:
When I came to El-Shargiya in 2002, I was on my own. And I had no choice. I had to have a driver. I bought a small car anyhow . . . I got a private driver who I had to give a monthly salary. The first week, he got into an accident with my car. He didn't know how to drive . . . My driver used to harass me. He'd adjust the rearview mirror to see what I was wearing.
Al-Sharif was quickly arrested and jailed for nine days. But the detainment backfired: The video went viral, fueling a protest on June 17 in which dozens of women defied authorities and drove through the streets, the largest such protest in 20 years. Dutt cautions that in any country, sharing stories online may have drawbacks; for instance, a battered wife could be traced by her abuser. And repressive governments are learning fast how to censor or delete whatever content they consider objectionable. "We're in a time of transformation," Dutt says. "We have to understand both the peril and the power of this moment."
BUT IF SHARING personal stories can sometimes put women in danger, it can also push them to take ingenious approaches to vexing issues. When Chiao, an international-development specialist trained at Harvard and Johns Hopkins, was working at the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights in Cairo, she noticed that her young volunteers often arrived at the office in tears. And she learned the reason: They'd been followed into the building, pushed up against the wall and groped. These stories drove Chiao to create HarassMap. "We had all experienced harassment, but it's something else when you see a young, idealistic volunteer come inside crying because she's been harassed at the entrance to the building," says Chiao, a casually elegant young woman, who spoke via Skype from her Cairo apartment. "You can't trust your doctor, you can't go to school, you can't go to the supermarket." The stats bear her out: Eight in 10 Egyptian women say they're harassed routinely, often daily—even if fully veiled, according to a report from the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights.
Chiao and her three cofounders had no money, no office space, not even a hotline. But they had heard about a new crowd-sourcing technology that could help women employ the only self-defense tool most Egyptians have at their fingertips: a cheap mobile phone. (In Egypt the so-called Facebook Revolution relied, for the most part, on the least expensive, least "smart" phones on the market.) With the help of NiJeL, a social justice–oriented digital--mapping firm in Arizona, Chiao and her partners launched their site in December.
Today, all across Egypt, from tiny oases in the western desert to the Red Sea in the east, women and girls (and occasionally men) are pulling out their phones and texting the details of abuse to HarassMap. Some wait until they get to a safe place, then send dispatches via computer to the organization's website; still others use HarassMap's Facebook page or Twitter feed. Within seconds, the woman receives a phone number she can call for free support services for legal aid, counseling and self-defense classes. Once she gives her location and explains what happened, the information is fed into a system that uses an interactive Google map of Egypt to identify harassment hot spots, color-coded by categories such as "touching," "sexual invites" or "indecent exposure."
The real-time heat maps are striking, but it's the eye-popping stories that make revoltingly clear what it's like to be a woman on Egypt's streets. And they have convinced a small but growing number of Egyptians that sexual harassment is a national embarrassment. HarassMap now has more than 300 volunteers, half of them men, who regularly fan out into troubled neighborhoods and educate people on the street about the problem. In just a few months, support for the group has lit up the country's blogosphere and its television and radio stations. Last June one of the nation's most respected newspapers, Al-Masry Al-Youm, published a series of articles to "dissect the reasons" behind what it calls "this festering issue"—and gave HarassMap some high-end publicity. The site could have been organized without social media, Chiao says, but then would have needed years to develop its current size and influence. "With social media," says Chiao, "people can hear about a problem, learn about it and speak up about it all at the same time."
HALF A WORLD AWAY, in Seattle, MomsRising.org is fighting for change, not so much in the streets but on Capitol Hill and in the halls of the country's legislatures. With one million members and a reach of three million people through blogs, Twitter and Facebook, the media-savvy mothers' advocacy group has made an art of collecting women's stories—lots of them, by turns wistful, plucky and livid—and packaging them to provoke legislative change.
Sheryl, from Ohio, posts:
The economy has certainly hurt our family. My husband is working (yeah), but he is still making the amount that he made on unemployment (which is barely enough to cover the bills for our family). I just had a stillbirth last March. Had it not been for Medicaid, I would not have been able to pay the medical bills incurred due to that loss.
And this, from a graphic artist in Wisconsin:
I have been told—to my face—no less than 3 times during my adult life that when a particular job I had applied for or wanted to advance to had come down to 2 candidates (me and a man), the man "had" to be selected because, after all, he has a family to support . . . The third time, I was the corporate art director . . . still married with 2 children and a 3rd on the way. A new male hire, 15 years my junior with NO relevant experience whom I had just 2 weeks to train to his new position, was suddenly and without explanation made the new art dept. head . . . I subsequently quit and filed a gender discrimination suit. Enough was enough!!!
Written by users or by the 450 bloggers for the MomsRising website, the stories are bound together in customized, thematically arranged "storybooks" and delivered to legislators, in person, by a Moms-Rising committee. "Often what we think ourselves and hear from our members is, 'Oh my gosh, I'm the only one who this is happening to,' " says Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, the turbocharged Seattle-based author who cofounded the group in 2006. "Many women don't feel like experts on legislation [for health care or paid parental leave]. But when we ask them to tell their own stories, they do know what's going on in their own families—and then we deliver those stories to Congress."
Studies show that what works best on the Web, Rowe-Finkbeiner says, is a personal story backed by a few facts—"rather than full-fledged, fact-heavy wonkiness." MomsRising clearly has the mix just right: The group is widely credited with helping to pass the federal Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which makes it easier for women to sue employers who pay them less than they pay men for the same job. The strategy was a textbook example of social change via social media storytelling: First, the group solicited an arsenal of well-documented, -guaranteed-to-tick-you-off stories of pay discrimination, which it posted on the website. Then Moms-Rising migrated the action to the offline world, meeting with the staff of 44 senators in their state offices. Members also sent nearly 85,000 constituent letters to both houses of Congress. When Senator John McCain dissed the legislation, saying women didn't need fair pay—just "more education and training"—MomsRising members descended on D.C. and happily blizzarded his office with thousands of members' résumés. Guess what, the women said as they hand-delivered the stacks. We are educated. We are qualified. And we still need equal pay for equal work.
IF MOMS RISING is the grande dame at the party, expertly working the crowd, SmartGirlPolitics is the ingenue turning heads at the top of the stairs: In 2010 its hashtag—#sgp—was the third-most-used tag on Twitter. The site's founder, Stacy Mott, an energetic former human resources manager in rural New Jersey, is a Tea Party supporter whose mission is to get conservative women more involved in politics and whose focus is on rolling back government involvement in education, health care and energy. "We want to tell women's stories about how the administration's energy policy is taking a toll on families in the U.S.," she says. "That touches me personally, because I look at my home state of West Virginia and I keep hearing about friends being laid off."
A key goal of SmartGirlPolitics is to inspire conservative women to run for office, and recruitment begins online. In 2010, SmartGirlPolitics trained 3,500 women in online -activism—after which 100 ran for federal, state, local or party offices; 16 ran for the U.S. House of Representatives. "Our organization exploded in 2009 because of social media," says Mott, who started SmartGirlPolitics during the 2008 election. "And it was all Twitter."
In its online personal storytelling, SmartGirlPolitics has opted for a relatively old-fashioned format: spotlighting up-and-coming conservative stars in the group's Web magazine, SmartGirlNation. A recent issue features Lisa Mei Norton, 48, an air force sergeant turned country singer who is cofounder of BigDawg Music Mafia, a social-networking site for conservative artists. In 2009, Norton wrote "Founding Sisters," a song she dedicated to SmartGirl-Politics. In a video on Bigdawg-music-mafia.com she sings:
We "man up" when we're attacked
We won't be pushed around
Strong American women, yeah
We won't be backing down.
SmartGirlNation also features chatty, first-person essays from Mott and other contributors. In one, Molly Teichman, who writes what she calls "political mommentary," tells a story about accidentally starting a brush fire one Fourth of July when she was a child. She then uses the fire as a metaphor for political action.
Ask yourself . . . what would I be willing to do this Fourth of July? You don't have to lay down your life. But you might lay down some distractions and help rekindle our Country. You might start a local interest group to follow city government. You might run a voter registration at the County Fair. You might start a brush fire of freedom in your own community.
The spotlight on individuals continues offline at the yearly SmartGirl Summit, a star-studded gathering—it has featured the likes of Representative Michele Bachmann and Liz Cheney—that the group calls "the must-attend event for today's conservative woman activist." The offline events help build the grassroots, state-by-state membership, and they also communicate a message of real-world participation and action. Mott points to one standout Summit attendee: Liz Carter, a Georgia businesswoman who two years ago attended a SmartGirl Summit in Nashville. "Afterward she came up to me and said, 'You know what? I never really thought about it before, but I think I'm going to run for office.' " Carter ran for Congress in a heavily Democratic district and lost. "But that to me is success," says Mott. "That we got one woman who attended an SGP event to run for office when she never considered it before—that's our success."
EACH OF THESE SITES has found ways to move women into direct, on-the-ground involvement. But that kind of migration remains one of the biggest challenges for activists. A new study says it takes four to six direct tweets from trusted friends to capture anyone's attention on a political issue, and that doesn't mean the person will get off the couch and grab a protest sign or visit her congresswoman or join her school board—all real-world actions that are still crucial to making change happen. "No one knows how it works," says Zandt. "But the campaigns that are the most successful are the ones that appeal to our emotional values. That's what we saw in Egypt: People want dignity, and they want to be there."
As technology grows more sophisticated, the sites will too. iHollaback.org, a U.S.-based precursor to HarassMap that takes advantage of the latest software, enables women to punch an icon on their smartphones, choose whether to take a photo of their harasser and later share the details of the abuse—-information that is then uploaded to Hollaback's website, along with blogs, tips and news. "Change has always been about telling our stories," says the site's founder, Emily May. "But now we can map our stories. We can photograph our stories. We can tell our stories on blogs." And produce concrete results: In 2008, after months of pressure from Hollaback members, New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed to plaster antigroping signs in the subways, and now the city council is considering more aggressive action against harassers. "All of a sudden we're not just talking to our friends online," May says. "We can use our stories to talk to people in the community, talk to legislators and spread the word."
Ultimately, though, what draws women to these sites is something deeper: a camaraderie of the pissed off and the passionate. As one woman posted on Hollaback: "Using your camera phone is a subtle way to take some kind of action when you feel powerless . . . [It] connects you to an entire community of people who collectively say this is awful, it shouldn't have happened to you, and it wasn't your fault. When people ask me, 'What good does it do to post a picture on a blog?' I say, 'Are you kidding?! We're building a movement!' "

Pangburn has been dealt a tough hand this season with several injuries, including a season-ending injury to standout junior catcher Kayla Gray. Facing adversity again on Tuesday while trailing McCrory 4-0, the Lady Tigers showed tremendous grit and determination by rallying with two runs in the sixth inning and two more in the seventh, capped by Emily Osborne's two-out, 2 RBI single, forcing extra innings.
Gray's replacement, Maggie Stewart, then drove home the winning run in the eighth inning as Pangburn celebrated a 5-4 comeback victory over the Lady Jaguars in a nonconference game between two Class 2A foes at Pangburn City Park.
Pangburn Coach Scott Hoffman was proud of the way his team kept battling. "That's how this season has gone. We've had injury after injury, two broken legs, a bad cut and several kids sick. This season hasn't gone as we planned but one thing we've learned how to do is fight.
That's what I've been stressing to my kids. We've got to fight because it's not going to be easy. It's not going to be pretty. If we fight games like this can help us make the regional tournament and then you are just one game away from state. Last year we were a No. 4 seed and beat a No. 1 seed to go to the state tournament. We've got to find a way to get it done with the odds stacked against us and we found a way today."
McCrory pitcher Dakota Conerly and Pangburn starting pitcher Kayla Butcher both worked through the first two frames with little trouble but the Lady Jaguars jumped in front with a run in the third inning.
Miranda Reynolds led off with a walk and moved to second on a sacrifice-bunt by Haley Mann. Kendall Browning followed with an RBI groundout to Kristen Kerby at first base, scoring Reynolds for a 1-0 lead.
Conerly pitched around a one-out single by Raven Matthews in the bottom of the third, preserving the Lady Jaguars' 1-0 lead, which they expanded upon in the fourth with two runs on two hits.
Conerly was hit-by-a-pitch and she took second on a wild pitch before Brooke Womble lined an RBI double to centerfield, scoring Conerly for a 2-0 lead. Butcher responded with a strikeout but Kaylee Creasey lifted a deep fly-ball to the outfield that was mishandled, allowing courtesy runner Shadow Graves to score easily.
Bailey Breckenridge beat out a bunt single and both runners moved into scoring position before Butcher retaliated with a pair of strikeouts, keeping the Lady Jaguars' lead at 3-0.
Conerly retired the Lady Tigers in order in the bottom half of the fourth with the help of a smooth back-handed play by Creasey at first base.
Page 2 of 3 - Butcher only allowed a hit batsman in the top of the fifth but Conerly quieted Pangburn again in the bottom half, pitching around a throwing error that allowed Stewart to reach safely. With one out, Womble threw out courtesy runner Kristen Butcher trying to steal second and Conerly induced Jeslin Moiser into a groundout to Browning at second, ending the fifth.
In the top of the sixth, McCrory added an insurance run as Addy Gammill reached on a throwing error, then pinch-runner Haley Roberts moved around to third on a pair of wild pitches and scored on a passed ball. Butcher evaded further damage with a strikeout, leaving a runner stranded at second.
Trailing 4-0, the Lady Tigers chipped away at their deficit in the bottom of the sixth, starting when Matthews reached on a fielding error. With one out, Kayla Butcher, who reached on a fielder's choice, advanced to second on a wild pitch and to third on a passed ball before scoring when Osborne lifted an RBI sacrifice-fly to center.
Then, Autumn Franks reached on a throwing error before Kerby drilled a single to the gap in right center. With runners at the corners and two out, Hannah Snowden's grounder to the left side turned into an error, allowing Franks to score as Pangburn trimmed its deficit in half at 4-2.
Conerly got out of the inning when Melissa Matlock lined out to Mann in left field, leaving runners stranded at first and second.
Kerby, a hard-throwing lefty, relieved Butcher to start the seventh and struck out two of four batters she faced ¬ only allowing one base runner on a walk.
Down to its final three outs, Pangburn rallied in the bottom of the seventh as Stewart beat out an infield single on a chopper to the left side, then Moiser legged out an infield single on a grounder deep in the hole at shortstop.
Stewart and Moiser moved into scoring position on a wild pitch but Conerly notched a strikeout and retired Butcher on line drive to Gammill at shortstop. With two out and facing a 2-2 count, Osborne delivered in the clutch, roping a 2 RBI single through the hole on left side, scoring Stewart and Moiser as Pangburn knotted the score at 4-all.
Conerly got out of the seventh on a groundout but Kerby blew away the Lady Jaguars in the eighth, racking up two strikeouts while retiring the side in order.
In the bottom of the eighth, Pangburn started with Franks at second base in accordance to extra-inning softball rules for the state. Franks moved to third when Kerby sent a grounder to the right side that turned into an error and McCrory elected to intentionally walk Snowden, leaving a force out at any base.
Page 3 of 3 - With the bases loaded, Conerly induced Matlock into a grounder to third, where Britney Garner made the play and took the force out on Franks at home. Then, with one out, Stewart clinched the Lady Tigers' amazing comeback with an RBI single past third base and into left field, scoring Kerby for a thrilling 5-4 victory.
Pangburn improved to 9-10 overall heading into Thursday's 2-2A conference game at White County Central. The Lady Tigers host Des Arc for a nonconference game today at 4:30 p.m. at Pangburn City Park.

Born on November 12, 1945, Neil Young is one of rock and roll's greatest songwriters and performers. In a career that extends back to his mid-Sixties roots as a coffeehouse folkie in his native Canada, this principled and unpredictable maverick has pursued an often winding course across the rock and roll landscape. He's been a cult hero, a chart-topping rock star, and all things in-between, remaining true to his restless muse all the while.
Neil Young was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice: first as a solo artist in 1995, and again as a member of Buffalo Springfield in 1997. After being inducted by Eddie Vedder at the 1995 Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, Young performed blistering versions of "Act of Love" and "F*!#in Up." The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's exhibits in Cleveland, Ohio, are home to a number of artifacts from Young's lengthy career, including the earliest known manuscript of his classic tune "Heart of Gold," with lyrics he wrote between December 1970 and January 1971. (pictured below)
In the liner notes of his career retrospective Decade, Young said of "Heart of Gold": "This song put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there." A chart-topping song from his first (and last) chart-topping album, Harvest, "Heart Of Gold" makes an easy target in retrospect. With plaintive steel guitar and sweet vocal harmonies from James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, it's the "nice" Neil Young, not the scruffy, feedback-slinging renegade. But a closer look uncovers the same dark sensibility that defines Young's more overtly pensive works. The melody seems more exhausted than laid-back, and the lyrics proclaim the impossibility of finding fulfillment. The search for the ideal soulmate doesn't end happily. Young torpedoed his newfound mainstream acceptance soon after with Time Fades Away. Abrasive and desolate, this live album of all-new material is still frightening.

Figure out where the barrel needs to go to with the bolt. Ideally the bolt should hit the receiver and head space right. I don't have 32 acp gauges so I set it up so the bolt hit the receiver and cartridge at the same time. Since its a blow back with a spring on the floating firing pin -- anyway I've had no problems.
Its more comfortable for me to "feel" a barrel with a hammer than a press. Since the chamber end is delicate the coin seperater might not work. I played with a couple of pieces of brass -- the gadget is in the shop, I'll get a picture.
Drive the barrel into the right place -- top and bottom count so rotational right place too. drill out the pin hole. bang the pin in.

Don't call them kids' books. Utahns can't seem to get enough of Twilight, The Hunger Games and other teen fiction—and we're just talking about the grown-ups.
Sure, when The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2 hits theaters, there will be plenty of screaming teen fans around.
But it will be the adults who help our local theaters outsell those on the East and West Coasts. Leading up to the eventful night, these older fans will relive the romance in literary form, as bookstore sales spike and library wait lists shoot up. It was the same story when The Hunger Games film hit theaters early this year and middle-grade fiction Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two the year prior. So, take a close look at that long line of Twihards waiting to get in the theater before the midnight premiere on Nov. 16, and don't be surprised if the moms outnumber the daughters.

Photo provided by Keith Kurtz Saints & Sinners. Photo provided by Keith Kurtz Saints & Sinners. Photo provided by Keith Kurtz Keisha Williams| Special to theadvocate.com June 21, 2013; 4:35 p.m. Comments The city of New Orleans has a past steeped in a seductive decadence that makes it a playground for politicians, athletes and celebrities from all over the world. So is it any wonder that actor and film producer Channing Tatum and longtime friend and business partner Keith Kurtz decided to open a restaurant and lounge called Saints & Sinners in The Big Easy? "New Orleans is an amazing city," Kurtz said. "Channing's dad was also raised in the area, and Bourbon Street is one of the most famous streets in the world. Why wouldn't we want to open up here?" Located at 627 Bourbon Street, Saints & Sinners opened in November 2012 and is modeled after the brothels of New Orleans during the Storyville era (1897-1917), when the areas inside North Robertson, Iberville, St. Louis and Basin streets were designated as the red-light district. With photographs of New Orleans madams, deep red walls and authentic adornments, Saints & Sinners flirtatiously winks at a time of opulence and excess in the city. "We thought it was very historic and sexy at the same time," Kurtz said. "Our drinks and décor are modeled after that theme. The atmosphere is safe, friendly and beautiful, but fun." From premium cocktails with names that will make a girl blush like Silk Panties and Sex on the Balcony to local New Orleans fare like red beans and rice named after two infamous Storyville madams, Saints & Sinners is enticing in every aspect. "We are known for our specialty drinks and martinis," Kurtz said. "People have looked at us as just a restaurant when we really are more of a lounge that sells food, takes reservations and has a dance floor." Recognizing Bourbon Street's lack of establishments that catered to women, Tatum and Kurtz wanted to create an environment for women that was alluring but also relaxing. "We are also known for our atmosphere," Kurtz said, "which attracts mostly women. We cater to them and have been called a safe haven on Bourbon. I think our biggest compliment from locals is that they don't feel like they are on Bourbon Street when they are at Saints & Sinners." If the drinks and atmosphere draw patrons in, the classic New Orleans cuisine and sinfully decadent desserts will keep them coming back. Customers enjoy local favorites like gumbo, crawfish etouffee and jambalaya for dinner and then indulge in Channing Tatum's favorite Red Hottie Velvet Cake or an order of Dix Sticks, beignet sticks named after Madam Gertrude Dix, for dessert. "Depending on what is in season we cook and do crawfish boils right in front on street level," Kurtz said. "We will also be introducing a new menu after this summer." There is always something interesting going on at Saints & Sinners. There is nowhere else in the city to grab a drink and get a Madam-named treat or eat boiled crawfish until the pots are empty. "There are so many places in the neighborhood that are fun and entertaining," Kurtz said. "Ours is just easy to stop in, and you end up staying awhile. We have DJs and burlesque some nights. We also have Madam Mondays, margarita and wine specials on Wednesdays, and Thursday night is Ladies Night with the DJ." Kurtz is not looking to slow down anytime soon. With such a provocative atmosphere, Saints & Sinners is becoming a top choice for bachelorette parties and other female-inspired events, and Kurtz can see nothing but growth for the future. "Eventually we will have male burlesque shows, but we will start with themed parties and see how that goes," Kurtz said. "Come November, we will be open for a year, so we have really just been using this time to work out the kinks. The fun really hasn't started yet, and I imagine we will need a bigger place in another year." The future starts now for Saints & Sinners as they present Eye Candy on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22. Ladies can dance and party with the Saints & Sinners Eye Candy Boys and enjoy vintage cocktails served up by the shot boys. The kitchen will close early, so reservations for dinner should be made before 7 p.m. The DJ starts spinning at 9:30 p.m. Vintage attire is encouraged.

W hen she was just 17, Solissa Welden began working in the fashion industry and quickly realized it was a labor of love. So when she moved to Salt Lake City in 2005 and noticed a need for a shop with unique and well-priced fashion, she didn't waste any time. Three weeks after moving, her namesake boutique Solissa opened in Sugar House.
Since then, the shop has become a favorite among local fashionistas thanks to an affordable selection of women's clothing, footwear and accessories, plus one-of-a-kind pieces made exclusively by Solissa out of vintage textiles.
"I am grateful that consumers are conscious of buying local," she says. "I want to reward that with service, service service!. What you put out there is what you're going to get. I work hard and stay positive.
Solissa's personal service and close relationships with clients also keep them coming back for more. "I listen to my customers and always consider them when I buy," she says. "I make sure that shopping is fun, and makes women feel good about their bodies and who they are.
"Retail therapy," she laughs, "is contagious."
