Undergraduate Academic Advising FAQ
We have prepared answers to some of the most Frequently Asked Questions from students, faculty and parents. We hope you find these answers helpful. If you need more information, contact the Advising Center at (217) 206-7471 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
For Students
How do I find out who my advisor is?
For entering first year students, sophomores and transfers who have not yet been assigned an advisor within their major, advisors are assigned. Entering first year students will meet their advisor at Summer Orientation.
Do I have to see an advisor to register for classes?
Yes, all new entering students must see an advisor prior to registering for classes. All continuing first year, sophomore, and undeclared transfer students must also see an advisor prior to registration.
What does an advisor do?
Academic Advisors help students select their classes each semester. The advisors help students stay on track with their general education requirements, and recommend courses helpful to the anticipated major. Advisors help undecided students determine a major, and/or a minor, given the students interests andaptitudes. Advisors also help students experiencing difficulties or challenges, academic or personal, connect with appropriate resources to help resolve potential obstacles to their success.
How do I contact my advisor?
Academic Advisors are available by phone, through e-mail, and in person by appointment. To schedule an appointment, contact the Advising Center.
When can I see my advisor?
OASIS is open 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Friday, year-round, excluding University holidays. Pre-registration advising is usually by appointment, and advisors are often available on a drop-in basis as their schedules allow.
What do I do if my advisor is not available?
When your advisor is not available and you need immediate assistance, let one of the Advising Center staff know, and we will get you the help you need. One of the other advisors may be able to help you resolve your issue in person. Alternately, you may be able to resolve your issue through e-mail contact.
Do I have the same advisor every year?
Entering first year students, sophomores, and transfers who do not have a faculty advisor, are assigned an Undergraduate Academic Advisor. In most cases, when you have completed most (if not all) of your general education classes and your schedule consists of classes primarily for your major, you are transitioned to an advisor in your major program.
Can I change my advisor?
Entering first year students, sophomores, and transfers who have not yet been assigned an advisor in their major are assigned an Undergraduate Academic Advisor by the student's last name or by major. If you feel the need to change advisors, you are encouraged to discuss this situation with your advisor to work out an appropriate solution. Advisor assignments are made to keep each advisor's workload balanced, and requests for changes will need to be considered in this light.
In most cases, when you have completed most (if not all) of your general education classes and your schedule consists of classes primarily for your major, you are transitioned to a faculty advisor in your major program.
Can my advisor tell my parents what courses I am taking?
In accordance with protections extended by FERPA, your advisor may be able to discuss your class schedule with your parents ONLY with your signed, written permission. You must specifically request that your advisor speak with your parent(s), and you must specify what information can be discussed, and within what timeframe. Generally, your advisor will encourage you to discuss your schedule with your parents directly. If parents call or contact the advisor independent of the student, or without a signed release on file, the parent will be encouraged to talk to the student directly and reminded of the FERPA limitations.
How do I access my DARSweb Report?
Access your DARSweb Report from the "Registration" tab on the UIS homepage. Select "Submit a New Audit", wait for the page to refresh itself, and click "Open Audit." If the General Education Bar on the chart is not solid green, your Gen Eds are not complete.
I am coming to UIS with an Associate's Degree already. Do I need to see an advisor in the Advising Center?
If you already hold an Associate's Degree and/or your Gen Eds are considered complete, you will need to contact your major department to schedule an appointment with your faculty advisor. This advisor will guide you in completing all the required courses for your field of study.
How do I know what classes are required of my major?
The academic department websites provide a description of requirements to complete the major on the curriculum. Additionally, Four Year Advising Guides provide a suggested Fall and Spring schedule of classes you should take each semester to prepare for and complete your major.
For Faculty
I am advising a new transfer junior who still needs two general education courses. How do I find the courses for those gen ed reqs?
The courses meeting the general education requirements are listed on the General Education website by semester. Course descriptions also include a notation indicating when the course satisfies a General Education requirement. You or your student may also contact the Advising Center for assistance.
What are ECCE courses? Does my student have to take them?
Engaged Citizenship Common Experience (ECCE) courses are university requirements, replacing university requirements (LSC and PAC courses). ECCE courses are interdisciplinary and designed to help students recognize the value of multiple perspectives. All first year students admitted in the 2006-07 academic year must complete all ECCE requirements. Transfer sophomores and juniors who started in 2006-07 are required to complete LSC, PAC, and AST university requirements. Transfer sophomores & juniors who started in 2007-08 or later are required to complete the 200-400 level ECCE courses. Learn more about ECCE requirements.
Can one course satisfy more than one requirement?
Yes, one course can satisfy more than one requirement in certain circumstances. If a course satisfies a General Education or ECCE requirement and is also required as part of a major or minor, that course may satisfy both requirements, as long as the major/minor program allows it. One course cannot satisfy two general education requirements or two major requirements. Even when courses are evaluated to satisfy more than one requirement, all students must still complete a minimum of 120 undergraduate credit hours in order to graduate.
One of my advisees is struggling with a course. What can I do to help?
There are several resources available to help students be successful in their coursework. As the advisor, you are in a position to help the student identify which resources are the most appropriate for the situation. Explore with the student the specific nature of the problem and what efforts have been attempted to address the problem. If it is an academic/classroom problem, encourage the student to address the issue with the instructor. If assistance from the instructor is not readily available or has not helped resolved the problem, help the student identify other academic personnel with the expertise the may help the student. Be careful to also assess for obstacles to performance such as possible learning disabilities, underdeveloped academic skills, time management, study skills, and personal distresses, and refer the student to other campus resources such as CTL, ODS, CDC, and the counseling center.
What is the Early Warning System? When should I use it?
The Early Alert System (EAS) is an intervention plan designed to identify students experiencing academic difficulties or other hindrances to academic success, and connect them with resources to help overcome these challenges. Through this system, faculty and other academic personnel refer the student to the EAS Advisor, who, with the student, explore the nature of the problem, and strategize interventions to help the student achieve satisfactory academic performance. Ideally, an instructor will refer a student to the EAS advisor as early as possible in the semester so that appropriate interventions can be implemented. When students are referred, they are expected to meet in person with the EAS advisor and follow through with the intervention plan. Referring instructors are contacted again shortly after mid-semester for a follow up report on the student's progress. Students referred to the EAS Advisor who receive academic advising from the major program will also be referred to the faculty advisor for assistance.
For Parents
What does an advisor do?
Academic Advisors help students select their classes each semester. Advisors help students stay on track with their general education and university requirements, and recommend courses helpful to the anticipated major. Advisors help undecided students determine a major, and/or a minor, given the student's interests andaptitudes. Advisors also help students experiencing difficulties or challenges, academic or personal, connect with appropriate resources to help resolve potential obstacles to their success.
How will I know what classes my son or daughter is taking?
You can learn about your student's class schedule by talking with your student. Advisors and other university personnel are not allowed to disclose information contained in student records to anyone without specific written and signed permission from the student. This privacy protection is governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974.
How does my child find out who the advisor is?
Advisors are assigned by the student's last name or by major for entering first year students, and sophomores, juniors and transfers who have not yet been assigned an advisor within their major. Entering first year students will meet their advisor during summer orientation and continue working with that advisor until they transition to an advisor in the major program.

Chinese cook ordered to pay 15,000 crowns for Tibetan flag snatch
A Prague court has ordered a Chinese cook living in the Czech capital to pay damages of 15,000 crwns or face two months in prison. The verdict was given after he was found guilty of removing a Tibetan flag from a demonstrator during the state visit of the Chinese president to the Czech Republic at the end of March. The court verdict is not binding and can be still appealed. Through a translator, the cook said that the Tibetan flag is banned in Chin and represents division of the country. He added that he acted to honour the visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping. The visit to Prague was marked by clashes between pro and anti-Chinese groups.
Competition office clears Mall.cz deal
The Czech completion office has cleared the sale of the second biggest Czech e-shop business, Mall.cz to the group Rockaway Capital. The purchase for more than 200 million euros has been made by billionaires Daniel Kretinský, Patrik Tkáč, and the PPF group of the richest Czech Petr Kellner. The grouping had already bought up the price comparison website, Heureka.cz, which has already led some rival e-shop operators to withdraw from it.
Czech Republic wins clearance for key transport projects to go ahead
The Czech Republic has won clearance from the European Commission to proceed with 10 large transport and infrastructure projects without the need to launch new Environment Impact Assessments (EIAs). Brussels has had problems with the fact that dozens of Czech projects were given approval under old assessments that in some cases pre-date the country's accession to the European Union in 2004. The news was given by prime minister Bohuslav Sobotka, currently in Brussels for a European Summit. Some of the key projects have a European as well as Czech dimension.
Moravský Krumlov wins auction for local stately home
The town of Moravský Krumlov has purchased ownership of its stately home after the property was auctioned off. The property was formerly used to house Czech artist Alfons Mucha's Slav Epic series of paintings before they were moved to Prague. Town authorities are seeking to partly revive its lost tourist appeal and earnings by creating an arts and cultural centre at the stately home. They also have some hopes that the Slav Epic might be returned in the future.
Nine injured in crash of Czech bus in Germany
Nine people were injured when a Czech bus hit a stationary vehicle on the motorway near Dortmund, Germany. Apart from the Czech driver, none of the injured are Czech according to the bus operator, Eurolines. The bus was on the route between London and Berlin with 42 passengers on board, according to the bus company. German police are investigating how the accident happened.
Czech president says current EU leadership is abject
Czech president Miloš Zeman has said one of the main factors for the British referendum decision to leave the EU was its poor leadership. He added that compared with giants of the past, like Jacques Delors and Jean Monnet, the current leadership are in the second league. The Czech head of state added that the British exit is a loss for the country and the remaining 27 states. He added that he expected Scotland will break away from the rest of Britain and re-join the EU within five years.
Trial of underpants art activists starts in Prague
The trial has started of three art activists from the Ztohoven group who last year made headlines when they erected a giant pair of red underpants on Prague castle in protest at the policies of president Miloš Zeman. They could face jail sentences of up to three years on charges of theft and damage to property. One of the defendants challenged the ability of the lead judge to try the case, pointing out judges are appointed by the head of state. He also contested the 100,000 crown bill that has been estimate by presidential authorities for damage done during the stunt.
Lower house pushes ahead with changes to party financing rules
Lawmakers in the lower house have voted new rules for financing political parties that look like setting a 3.0 million crown a year ceiling for donations by companies and individuals. The proposed new rules look likely to increase the payments made for votes gained in local, regional, and parliament elections. The bill would also seek to create a new agency for overseeing election spending which now looks like it will be based in Brno rather than Prague.
Europe must intensify cooperation in response to terrorism, says Czech PM after Turkey attacks
Tuesday's terrorist attack in Turkey is a fresh reminder of the dangers of terrorism, which cannot be underestimated or forgotten about in the shadow of debates surrounding Brexit, says the Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka. Speaking in Brussels where he is attending EU meetings focused on the UK's decision to quit the bloc, Mr. Sobotka said the European Union needed to intensify cooperation among member states in the battle against terrorism. A suicide and gun attack on Istanbul's airport left at least 36 dead and more than 140 injured.
New bill means large retail outlets must close on state holidays
Large retail outlets in the Czech Republic will have to close on seven state holidays every year after the Chamber of Deputies approved a Senate bill implementing the change. The lower house was voting for the second time on the matter; it had originally voted that big shops be closed only on three state holidays but the Senate insisted that it reconsider its original wording. It must now be signed by the president. The ban – which applies to stores with floor space of 200 m2 or more – has been condemned by the Chamber of Commerce and was rejected by the right-wing parties in the lower house.

What is an interlibrary loan?
An interlibrary loan (ILL) is a library service whereby cardholders may request to borrow materials from another library if the item is not owned by Grand County Library District or the Marmot Libraries. Generally, GCLD will utilize the system called SWIFT (mostly academic and public libraries participating from the Front Range area) to borrow an item not found within the GCLD or Marmot Library catalog. We ask that a local search be done in Marmot first, then an ILL form may be submitted.
An ILL should not be confused with a regular material request or an item hold which is a service of GCLD by which a user may request to be notified as soon as a book that has been checked out becomes available. The material is kept on the reserve shelf for a limited period of time (currently, GCLD holds items for 6 days and then returns the item to the shelf or to the lending library).

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tony Suburban Philly The Classic Men's Slipper I am 68 years old. These are the type of slippers all the men in my family wore. My grandfather, my father, uncles etc. This is the most comfortable slipper to be found. It's the one the movie stars wore in all the films of the thirties and forties. It's all leather. It breathes. No sweaty feet. No cold feet. Easy to slide into or slide off. No, you don't wear these to go get the mail. Indoor use only. With pajamas, robe and brandy snifter, along with a nice pipe, and your wife in her feminine nightgown and robe, and you'll know what being a gentleman is all about. Very hard to find. But VCS had them. September 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by 12345 Narrow, but great I agree with Maribel, these are narrow. I had to exchange them for the wide width. And I've never worn wide in anything from Chuck Taylor's to cowboy boots. Other than that they are great looking and feeling slippers. July 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Maven Happy with my slippers I've searched various sellers of foot wear, on foot and online, but found none with scuff-style slippers of leather, and simple but smart. Until The Vermont Country Store. They arrived today and I'm happy! February 23, 2015

Are you looking forward to having stronger nails? What is the way forward? Relax! To avert brittle and weak nails, all you need is to eat the right food. The idea is simple; eating right food adds essential nutrients to your body thus making your nails stronger besides nourishing other parts of your body. Foods that contain nutrient elements such as iron, copper, zinc, selenium, beta-carotene and biotin are known to strengthen your nails. If you are a daily taker of food rich in these nutrients, having stronger nails can therefore be a simple task to achieve. You don't have to develop a strict diet program to achieve this but all you need to do is to incorporate such foods into your meals. Take a look at some of the essential foods that are source of such nutrients.
Fish is known to have a lean source of protein that can easily be assimilated and used by the body. Your nails are fed with keratin when you eat food rich in lean protein. It is advisable to eat specific fish such as shrimp, tuna and crab because they are low in mercury. Avoid those with high mercury such as swordfish. You should take such meal at least 3 times a week.
This is a special green seaweed plant that has been proven to be a great source of nutrients. It contains Vitamin A in form of beta-carotene, magnesium and Vitamin B. Spirulina is also a source of iron. You need to create soups and salads using this amazing plant.
They strengthen the nails because they contain copper, manganese, selenium, biotin, protein and zinc. You need to eat them raw by adding them as toppings in meals such as oatmeal and yogurt. Energy bars made at home can also use almonds.
These seeds contain high percentage of essential amino acids and omega 3 fats and not forgetting proteins that your nails crave for. What makes hemp seed a miraculous seed is that it also contains manganese, biotin, selenium and other nutrients making it a complete diet meal. A sizeable amount of hemp seeds should be added to your oatmeal, smoothies or you can also prepare energy bars from them. They can always be used as a replacement to nuts.
Eggs are one of those animal products that are high recommended. They need to be eaten in the right way. For example, you need to eat eggs from sources that have not been injected with hormones. Eggs are a good source of protein that is needed by the body and it also contains Vitamin D. It is also a source of Vitamin E and Omega 3 fats just to mention. You need to prepare eggs using your preferred method and basically eat it during breakfast.
They are good source of nutrients that your nails need to be stronger than before. It contains copper, protein, zinc, Vitamin E, A and also magnesium. These nutrients are in a form that is easy to assimilate into a person's system. You just need to prepare salad or smoothies using leafy green. Soup can also work great.

Last week's rainfall has increased waterfowl habitat across the state, and most of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's waterfowl hunting areas now have reached or exceeded target water levels.
The Cache River overflowed its banks and has created additional hunting opportunities at Rex Hancock Black Swamp and Dagmar WMAs, two areas that mostly have been dry throughout the 2012-2013 season. Habitat conditions also have improved at Earl Buss Bayou DeView WMA, Bayou Meto WMA, Big Lake WMA, Ed Gordon Point Remove WMA and many other areas.
A few unseasonably warm days notwithstanding, cool weather has been in place in Arkansas for several weeks, a crucial component of waterfowl hunting success in the state. But ample water has been a missing piece of the waterfowl hunting puzzle for most of this season, and the recent improvements in water conditions should be a welcome change for the season's final stretch.

The Answer
A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about the rough shape that major league baseball is in when it comes to parity and competitive balance. I was then challenged by another blogger to provide a solution to the problem. To me, the solution is relatively simple…it's the implementation that is the tough part. Here are my thoughts…
First and foremost, baseball needs a salary cap akin to the system in the NFL. Sure, baseball has the luxury tax, but that is like asking a billionaire to pay a thousand-dollar fine everytime he does something wrong. It sounds like a lot, but to the billionaire it is relatively little, thus he will continue to repeat his bad behavior (e.g. buying up and keeping contracted all the best players). In the NFL, teams can only spend a certain amount (in 2009 the figure was $128 million) per season. Plus, there is even a "minimum floor" clause of sorts that says a team has to spend at least so much money (like a minimum speed limit on the freeway) in order to prevent some franchises from just packing it in and hoarding $$$ to line their wallets if the season isn't shaping up as planned. Sure, there would still be bad teams. However, general suckish-ness would be based on poor team management, like, say, starting this guy at QB…
Secondly, the TV pot needs to be broadened as well…
Once again, the NFL (which I considered to have the best professional sports economic system out there today) requires TV rights to be shared between both teams competing. In baseball, all the revenue goes to the home club. So, the Yankees, because of their enormous and populace viewing area, can create their own TV network and rake in the dough, while the Twins (after trying that approach with Victory Sports Network and failing miserably) plod along with Fox Sports North and, comparatively speaking, get chump change in return.
Those two changes would go a long way towards making baseball much more economically sound (in terms of honoring the heritage of the game, not just turning the biggest possible profit by assuring the Yankees and Red Sox in the playoffs every year), and would not be all that difficult to implement. However, major obstacles still exist in the implementation of the plan.
The biggest problem (and this will probably be the biggest understatement I ever post on this blog) is this guy…
Allan H. "Bud" Selig, baseball's commissioner, was once an owner himself (of the Milwaukee Brewers), so he is very sympathetic to their causes. Thus, he will NEVER impose sanctions on their freedom, even if it means destroying the fabric of the game in the process.
Because of this, the Players Union (once headed by Donald Fehr, but now led by Michael Weiner, pictured below)…
…won't, and doesn't, budge an inch, as they are always terrified that former owner Selig is out to get them. That is why implementing a salary cap or steroid testing is like pulling teeth. A new, much more impartial commissioner would go an incredibly long way towards rectifying the situation, but since the players are still raking in the dough and the owners are protected by Buddy-Boy, the status quo hasn't quite been shaken enough yet to oust Selig.
Of course, in a certain humerous turn of events that even I can smile at, Selig's contract expires after the 2012 season. In other words, right before the world is supposed to end (!)…
So, I guess our only hope is to pray that the Mayans were wrong…as after '12 baseball might get back on the right track!
The Sad State Of Baseball Economics
After watching my beloved Minnesota Twins got stomped by the New York Yankees in the first round of the playoffs this past season, and then seeing Cleveland-bred C.C. Sabathia and Cliff Lee pitch the Yanks and Phillies into the World Series, I believe that now is the time for me to comment on the sad economic state of baseball these days. This has always been a very hot-button topic for me (as I root for the small-market Twins), so I would like to take a few moments to explain why the current system is broken and what can be done to fix it:
Basically, the problem started way back in the 1900s, when both the American and National Leagues were first established.
Instead of free agency, there was something called the reserve clause, which was essentially a legal precedent that baseball used to keep players on one team until their owner decided differently. The players were treated not too much different from a cattle-range steer, to be bought and sold as commodities. It wasn't, by any means, the greatest system in the world (as the only option a player had to fight against an unfair salary, which were very common in those days when most owners made Carl Pohlad look like the Monopoly Guy, was to quit playing altogether), but it did help the competitive balance of the game, allowing all teams (if managed/owned sensibly) to have a shot at competing for a championship.
That all changed in the 1970s when Curt Flood of the St. Louis Cardinals challenged the reserve clause all the way to the Supreme Court.
Though Flood didn't actually win his case, he shed so much light on the matter that a free agency sytem was quickly established by MLB. During the 1980s, the system actually worked like it was supposed to…players had better rights, AND the game was still competitive. But, starting in the mid-1990s, salaries began exploding (along with the economy) and suddenly the system was skewered. Teams in huge economic markets like New York, Los Angeles, and Boston were able to throw huge wads of cash in the pockets of all the top free agents, all but assuring there services. Sometimes, in the case of Ted Turner's Atlanta Braves, all it took was an incredibly rich owner to give a team a distinct advantage.
Those big markets had (and continue to have) such an advantage for a few different reasons: First and foremost is the fact that, just by sheer geography, a team like the Yankees can much more easily fill their ballpark every night than, say, the Twins can out here in Minny. Also, teams on both coasts have established their own TV networks (YES Network for the Yankees and NESN for the Red Sox), which bring in enormous profits compared to what the Twins get from Fox Sports North.
After about ten years of this broken system, when the same teams started making the playoffs year in and year out, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig established the "luxury tax" system into the game. Essentially, this is known as the Robin Hood system, as it robs from the rich to give to the poor.
This has helped a little bit (e.g. the Twins signed Justin Morneau to a long-term deal and have at least a shot at doing the same with Joe Mauer), but it din't get to the root of the problem, as teams like the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, and Mets can continue to reach into their deep pockets to get the best players. Essentially, they are saying "luxury tax be damned" and just paying the fine for going over the payroll limit. This is evidenced very toughly for Twins fans by these two photos:
The Twins gave very decent offers to both Torii Hunter and Johan Santana, but couldn't come close to matching the amount of years the Halos offered Hunter or the sheer dollar amount the Mets dangled in front of Santana. Another obvious example was the beginning of this season, when the Yankees went out and got C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, while the biggest moves the Twins made was signing Nick Punto, bringing in R.A. Dickey (what a joke) and getting a Joe Crede whose back was so bad that he essentially a non-factor. Those "moves" were all we could afford. Imagine how different the 2009 ALDS might have been if Hunter had been patrolling the outfield instead of Delmon Young, or if Santana had made the Game One start instead of Brian Duensing.
Now, to be fair, there are some criticisms of instituting a salary cap into MLB, but I would like to give my rebuttal to two of them:
1. Why should the Yankees be penalized for running an efficent system? It seems as if Yankee fans could just criticize Carl Pohlad for being a tightwad all those years and not spending money to improve his team, but that really isn't a fair criticism. First of all, George Steinbrenner isn't really spending much (if any) of his OWN MONEY on the Yankees, instead relying on seemingly endless revenue streams based on his sheer geography. Without those streams, other owners (like the Pohlad family) would be dipping into their own personal reserves, which would be like you paying for your office supplies/furnishings or me paying for Wal-Mart shelf labels.
Secondly, then, is that if teams know they can't spend with the Yankees, then why even try? The Twins know that, under the current economic system, they are already beaten in trying to sign free agents, so instead we save our money to try and lock up as many of our good players as possible (which, in this age of inflated salaries, is fewer and fewer each season).
2. The second criticism of the the salary cap is that it really isn't needed, due to the fact that the 1998-2000 championship run of the Yankees was accomplished primarily with home-grown players like Derek Jeter, Jorge Posade, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera.
That may be true, but funny how those great players STILL WEAR YANKEE PINSTRIPES! Instead of losing those great players to a higher bidder, the Yanks can just keep them. Plus, whether the free agents work out (Jimmy Key, Paul O'Neill, Johnny Damon, Sabathia, etc.) or flop (Kevin Brown, Chuck Knoblauch, Carl Pavano), the Yanks can just "pay through" and be done with it. If the Twins make a mistake in signing the wrong player to an expensive contract, it would hamper the organization for a decade.
Thus, until MLB institutes a salary cap like the NFL and NBA (to a certain extent) have in place, the economics of the game will remain skewered towards the large markets, and that severely troubles me. I consider baseball to be my favorite sport, the one that captivated me as a child and still does to this day, but right now the NFL is gaining ground and fast due to the fact that in the NFL setup, all teams have a chance to be competitive. It is only through bad ownership (Al Davis, Matt Millen, etc.) that teams completely fail.
I know that this situation isn't likely to change anytime soon, but that doesn't mean that it is right or correct. Until Bud Selig can take charge of the National Pastime like he should and not just cater to the owners, the Yankees will continue to unfairly dominate the Twins for years and years to come.

Diane Keaton is eating the smallest pieces of cheese you've ever seen. Sitting in the Oak Bar at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, she readies each bite the way a scientist might prepare a slide for a microscope: She snaps off a teeny-weeny corner of flatbread, tops it with a dot of cheese, then daubs it with apple compote. She's not fussy about it—she does it gracefully—and she maintains a kaleidoscopic conversation throughout. It's hard to see this as actual eating though, since after two hours, more remains on her plate than was consumed. But the ritual keeps her busy, and she likes to be busy. And it quickly becomes obvious that Diane Keaton doesn't run on food. She's fueled by her bottomless curiosity and delight.
On this summer afternoon, her outfit is quintessentially quirky—oversize gray bowler hat, small square glasses with green lenses, a pair of leather necklaces, a crisp white shirt, a black leather belt with silver studs, jeans with extra-large cuffs and black suede peep toe wedges, through which dark red nail polish glints—and every diner entering the bar does a double take when they spy her. "Isn't it great that we're here in this historic place, which I love?" she asks. (She has good reason to think fondly of the Plaza: Her adopted son, Duke, now eight, was delivered to her in a hotel room here one Valentine's Day, five years after she adopted her daughter, Dexter, now 13.) In fact, Keaton is loving everything about New York today: the new High Line park ("It's a magical spot"), the New York Stock Exchange (It's the most beautiful building!"), even the arms and armor room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a collection she had never been attracted to before.
"My kids became entranced with the armor, so I started looking at it, and it's fantastic!" Keaton says. "It's like, what were they doing wearing these things on their bodies, and how did they move?" She lives her life in question marks and exclamation points, and listening to her is like drinking Champagne: Pretty soon you feel giddy too.
"Diane is so enormously fun," says Martin Short, a friend since he worked with Keaton on 1991's Father of the Bride. "Her laugh is contagious and generous, her take on life and how it should be lived—you're envious of it and want to emulate it. There is no one like her, and if anyone is, it's because they're trying to be like her."
Keaton has been in New York for a month shooting the comedy Morning Glory, directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill). In the film, due for release next year, she plays Colleen Peck, a yappy, testy former Miss Arizona who anchors a failing morning news show and gets riled when her producer (Rachel McAdams) brings in a fading news heavyweight (Harrison Ford) to goose the ratings. "I can't stress enough how much fun it was to work with her," Ford says. "Diane's skill as an actress is remarkable. She creates a very realistic structure for all her energy, so it's not just yakety-yak; it's storytelling. And we had great conversations about art and architecture, about which she has well-developed expertise. Even if she does put ice in her red wine." They became friendly enough that Ford flew Keaton back to L.A. in his jet—which he piloted. Because she's an anxious flier, Keaton jokes that she armed herself with medicine to calm her nerves. Ford says she was fine. "She was also stoned out of her goo-goo," he deadpans.
Keaton claims not to know the difference between collagen, Restylane and Botox. But she knew that her character in Morning Glory would be well versed in all things antiaging. "She's a warhorse, and I felt like she should be extraordinarily vain," Keaton says. "I think these anchors—if there are any my age left, which is why I was sort of amazed they cast me—they all look fantastic."
So she and Michell settled on good lighting to make Colleen appear suitably perky. "And I'd be like, 'Not too close!' " Keaton says, referring to the camera position. "It's come to that." She grins ruefully. "But there's nothing wrong with [cosmetic procedures]. A gal's gotta do what she's gotta do. I'm not going to say that I wouldn't. Sometimes now I have a different feeling about [aging]. But you can't beat it; even if you do all that stuff, you're still not going to beat it." She shrugs and digs into another molecule of cheese.
In taking on the role of an aging beauty who won't go down without a fight, Keaton, 63, is doing what she's always done best: addressing the real-life dramas of the generation of women who came of age with her. In 1977, in her early thirties, she played a free spirit falling in love in Annie Hall, for which she won an Oscar. Ten years later, she was an executive struggling with child rearing in Baby Boom. At 50, she played a character whose husband dumped her for a younger woman in The First Wives Club, and at 57 she found romance again in Something's Gotta Give. Although this progression wasn't intentional, Keaton says, "I always felt that in some way I was ordinary—that I was somebody you could identify with. In spite of my being borderline odd, women still felt that I was more like one of them."
More than anything else, Keaton is palpably human. She was never a perfect, cookie-cutter starlet; she represented every woman who felt she was outside the norm. Her characters contradicted themselves, shot themselves in the foot, behaved ridiculously. When men drove them crazy, they snapped; when they were disappointed, their faces sagged. You could feel their hearts breaking. That's a big feat, especially in comedies.
"Look at the crying scenes in Something's Gotta Give," says Nancy Meyers, writer-director of the hit that grossed $124 million (she also wrote Baby Boom and the Father of the Bride movies). "Diane's character is completely miserable, but she's writing a comedy. The crying cures her writer's block, then her writing makes her laugh. And then the thought of it making her laugh makes her cry more. You give a scene that layered to most actresses and they'll go, 'Huh?' But Diane lets it rip."
Now Keaton's opening herself up in a new way: She's writing a memoir, contrasting her life with her late mother's. Dorothy Hall, née Keaton, died a year ago at 86, after a long struggle with Alzheimer's. (Keaton's father, Jack Hall, a civil engineer, died in 1990.) She'd been a full-time homemaker, and an archetypal one—she baked, sewed and was once a finalist for Mrs. California in a Mrs. America contest. She doted on Keaton's two younger sisters and younger brother, but she and Diane were especially close. She encouraged Keaton's fierce ambitions and served as the main sounding board for her daughter's projects.
Keaton is certain that her mother had artistic ambitions of her own, however quiet or unrealized. Dorothy was an obsessive journal keeper, cramming scores of brick-thick notebooks with thoughts, photographs, doodles and collages. "My mother had that fantasy of more, a bigger life, expressing herself," Keaton says. "You don't write all that unless you need to get the story of your life out. You're saying, 'I'm here. I want to express what it meant to me.' "
For the memoir, which will be published by Random House, Keaton is combining excerpts from those diaries with stories from her own life. "It's not so easy!" she says. "But I'm sending in little chapters to my editor. There's a sweet section where Mother is reflecting on her childhood, then I reflect on mine, on who we were and what that meant. There was my father's death—what it was for my mother, what it was for me, what it meant about my relationship to men. It's been really interesting for me."
This intimate access to her mother's mind has made Keaton aware of how little she knew her father and how little she understands men in general. "My mother wrote reams, but from Dad, we got nothing—a couple of letters," she says. "I'd read into those small messages sent from my father's brain to me. He's much more of a mystery." She pauses. "All men are. Mm-hmm."
Although Keaton has never married, she has dated some complicated men, including Woody Allen, Warren Beatty and Al Pacino. But she swears that there is no man in her life now (her ex-act words are, "No, oh-ho, none"), and that she can't imagine one in her future. "It's a huge part of life that's missing, yeah, but I don't miss it," she says. The very idea of couples falling in love later in life—so memorably portrayed in Something's Gotta Give—makes her explode with questions: "Do you think they kiss?" she squeals. "They have sex? That's something I can't imagine at all. For me it was always, 'Oh, no!' " She mimes backing away, waggling her hands. "And then I couldn't help myself, because just, biologically, you can't help but go toward it. It's too exciting." She shakes her head. "Ugh! I don't want that excitement. Too scary. I see it as a danger zone. Who would we become, together? I just . . . unnnh."
What fascinates Keaton today is the way her teenage daughter is handling the opposite sex. "With Dexter, it's [all about] boys right now. Could she be more different from me? She goes to them, talks to them. She makes the dates. It's refreshing, not waiting for someone to pick you. Which seems to be the story of my life regarding men and being an actress.
"I don't think men even look at me anymore," she continues. "If anything could work in that area, it would probably be if I paid him. Then I think we could work out an affable relationship. 'Remember, at eight we're going to dinner. Until then you're free, take care of yourself.' " She grins; she's joking, of course, though so seamlessly that she had you for a second. "I'm totally for it! I pay for everything else." She snorts at herself. "I bet I'll have a lot of suitors now, right?"
Kidding aside, Keaton calls her independence "wonderful. I'm free to do what I want to try to do. I don't have to worry that I'm not living up to some responsibility as a partner to somebody else." And what she wants to do is a lot. She wants to keep making movies. She spent part of the past year talking to women's groups about her work and her mother's illness on the Unique Lives & Experiences lecture tour (former speakers include Goldie Hawn and Jane Fonda). She's set to star in her first TV series (untitled at presstime), for HBO, as a Gloria Steinem–like feminist icon who attempts to reignite the movement by starting a porn magazine for women. Keaton's also working on two new architecture books (she's already published several); she's trying to sell her Spanish-style home in Beverly Hills and develop another property that she owns; and through the National Trust for His-toric Preservation she's fighting to prevent L.A.'s Century Plaza hotel from being demolished.
"I don't really relax much," Keaton says—the understatement of the after-noon. "Like, I can't go and nap, ever. I'm not interested in relaxing until I hit the sack, and then it's like [crash noise]. I wouldn't know what to do with a week off. Except for one little area, m-e-n, I'm excited, I'm ready to go, sign me up."
She's full of admiration for actresses such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Sandra Bullock, "strong, feisty women who take a monumental responsibility for every aspect of their careers," Keaton says. "It's not just acting, it's also producing, being a spokesperson, a beauty campaign representative. They're a brand." Back when Keaton broke through in Annie Hall, "the tone of those times was, 'Be very choosy and don't do too much.' " She pauses for the fraction of a second that for her constitutes a pause. "Mistake. I don't agree with that at all anymore. You might as well just dive in and really take it on."
Keaton says she's "proud of the fact that I'm still here, still working. That I've been able to take care of things." But she's also been feeling her mortal-ity a little more. On her first day of filming Morning Glory, she did a scene in which Colleen interviews a sumo wrestler while dressed in a sumo fat suit. Keaton thought it would be funny if she charged headlong into the wrestler; she ended up banging her head on the sidewalk, hard enough to send her to the hospital. She was fine, though she felt some vertigo for weeks afterward. "It did make me realize that there could be an end to me," she says. "It changes your outlook . . . You're aware of time and that nothing is permanent."
Keaton wouldn't call this phase of life easier, she says. But it is "more challenging, and more full. The experiences you have are deeper. Just being alive has so much more meaning." She remembers how her Grammy Hall would sit watching the local news and cluck, "It's a weird old world." As a kid, Keaton thought that was odd. But now she understands. "The older I get," she says, "the more I go, what? That's astonishing! How could that be?" Being with her feels the same way.

Tested in some of the heartiest downpours the world has to offer, this shapeable Goretex hat is a rainy day classic. Whether you're hiking in the Amazon or catching a bus in the Pacific Northwest, the shell offers waterproof protection and the brushed lining manages perspiration. The shaped brim directs water away from your head when it's gushing.
The three-layer, 70D Taslan Goretex fabric crown is seam-taped to withstand the heartiest downpours while remaining breathable. An internal cinch band lets you adjust to tighten the fit and the removable chin cord has a cordlock. But if the wind does whip up while you're on the water, the foam-stiffened brim not only keeps the hat in shape, it also keeps it afloat. Hook and loop tabs allows sides of brim to be flipped up as the weather changes. The brim is longer in the back to keep rain out of your collar (and sun off your neck) but isn't so long that it interferes with a backpack. And finally, at just over 3 ounces, it won't leave you with overweight bags or a too-heavy pack.

great for cooler climates
By David Hamlin
from Washington, D.C.
Best Uses
Comments about Goretex Rain Hat:
Fleece layer was a little thick for warm temperatures. Just too dense of a pile for the Equator, but I would definitely recommend for cooler climates.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I can't let Independence Day go by without shooting off some of Blithewold's prettiest sparklers. (As always, click on pictures for a larger view and captions or just mouse over for captions.)
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!
I love all your sparklers-maybe because I have many if the same ones?! I'm particularly jealous of the caterpillar on your fennel, though. I've grown the same fennel for 6 or 7 years now, and have only seen the caterpillars ONCE!
Kim, I hope you at least get a few of their butterflies! I usually see more of those in my own garden than I do their caterpillars… -kris
Lovely display, Kristin; your column elevates the B'ton Times for me, for its imagination and impassioned prose.
Happy Fourth,
Peter O'Neill
Peter, Thank you! -kris
That's a good way of celebrating the Independence day! Taking pictures of a garden with beautiful plants and of the Blithewold's prettiest sparklers!
Eric, I thought so too! -kris

Saudi Arabia jointly chairs Friends of Yemen meeting in London
March 7, 2013
The Group of Friends of Yemen held a ministerial meeting in London today, under the joint chairmanship of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and the United Kingdom. The one-day conference, which included the participation of 35 countries and organizations, was held to mobilize support for Yemen during its ongoing political transition.
The Saudi delegation was led by Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Nizar bin Obaid Madani. During his remarks, Madani reaffirmed the Kingdom's support for the Yemeni people. "This support emanates from the historic ties binding the two peoples as well as the belief of the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud in the importance of supporting the Yemeni people in order to achieve stability and security," he said. "Saudi Arabia has made every endeavor to help Yemen. During the past five years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provided $3 billion of aid for Yemen. Moreover, the Kingdom announced in the Riyadh meetings (held in May and September 2012) the provision of aid of $3.25 billion for Yemen. The Saudi Fund for Development supports the electricity sector in Yemen with $100 million."
Upon the conclusion of the meeting, a final statement was issued by the British Foreign Office saying that the delegates had pledged to continue providing political, economic, security and humanitarian support for the government of President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi and the Yemeni people. The statement stressed the broad-based support for the unity, sovereignty and independence of Yemen and rejected foreign interference into the country's internal affairs. It noted that the participants reviewed a wide range of topics, including the status of the National Dialogue Conference and constitutional reforms; preparations for the February 2014 elections; the provision of $7.9 billion in previously pledged aid; the grave humanitarian situation; and the reform of Yemen's military, security and justice sectors.
According to the statement, the delegates urged the Yemeni government to move forward with its plan to establish a commission to investigate human rights abuses and praised its efforts to fight terrorism. They also welcomed the appeal of the United Nations and its humanitarian partners for $716 million to provide support for the 7.7 million Yemenis in need.

The 35th edition of the Wyoming Shrine Bowl All-Star football game featured six incoming Yellow Jacket recruits. The game was played on Saturday June 14th in Casper Wyoming before a packed stadium. Players from around the state of Wyomng gather for a week of practice including a trip to the Shriners Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. The week wrapped up with the Shrine Banquet on Friday night where Yellow Jacket Head Coach John Scott was this years keynote speaker. Scott served as an assistant coach for the Shrine Bowl in 1993 and 1994 and was head coach in 1995 and 2001 while coaching high school football in Wyomng.
Playing for the Sorth All-Stars were Scott Boner, LBer (Douglas H.S.), Drew Rollin, RB/DB (Rock Springs H.S.), Stephen Easton FB/LBer (Southeast H.S.) and Chase Tyson LBer (Wheatland H.S.). The Nouth Team featured Scott Soderstrom LBer (Worland H.S.) and Curtis Lindgren DB (Greybull H.S.).
The North held off the South 16 – 10 after stopping the Souths final drive in the final minute of the game. Chase Tyson led the Souths defense with nine tackles and running back Drew Rollin led all rushers with 100 yards on 15 carries. Scott commented, "It was a great weekend of football, especially watching these guys compete. Jacket Football was well represented in this game and every one of these guys proved they can play at the next level".

Discover More Ideas You'll Need
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Phierce77 Have to try this again. I was highly skeptical about this, mainly because the little can of seafood had things like mussels that I didn't think would hold up well canned. To my surprise, when I opened the can the smell wasn't overpowering at all. I added chorizo and fresh shrimp and it came out pretty good. Jambalaya is in the American equivalent to Paella, basically add whatever you want and enjoy. October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PCH the cook Hoffert's Seafood Paella I make mine with all seafood, starting with a jar of Washington State shucked oysters (reserve juice) shrimp, scallops, canned clams (save juice) and chunks of whatever is on sale in the fish department. Substitute the fish stock for the H2O and you have a killer paella! For garnishment, I serve it with pimento-stuffed olives and a cold glass of Pinot Grigio! ENJOY May 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by MommaBabe Excellent for Quick Dinner My sister gave this to me to try out. After 4 months of sitting in my cupboard, I finally cooked it because I wanted to serve something different for dinner last night. I followed the instructions and it came out great! Instead of adding more seafood to this Paella, I cooked the seafood separately. It was enough to feed us 4 big-rice-eaters. I just wish it was not as salty. But other than that, it was great! I will definitely try it again soon. Highly recommended. September 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by gloriahnguyen love it!! i love this. i make mine in the rice cooker. just make sure to put less water then the instruction. it calls for 3 cups of water, i only use 2 in the rice cooker. just add all your favorite seafood(mine is shrimp and salmon) and turn on the rice cooker. when the timer goes off let it sit for 10min and it is ready.

Last year I got a chance to finally check out Epcot's "Party For The Senses." It's the weekly Saturday night food and wine extravaganza that happens during the Food & Wine Festival.
And I was happy to get the chance to check it out again this year.
It's a hefty ticket at$135 plus tax per person. That's not including a ticket into the park, something you need to get into the party. But if you can afford it, it's a fabulous event.
Performers from La Nouba Cirque du Soleil perform as you sip and nibble your way through a maze of food and wine stations. Standouts at last Saturday's feast included the Maine lobster risotto with sea beans and lime oil from Epcot's Coral Reef Restaurant and the Moroccan braised lamb with cous cous from Cinderella's Royal Table in the Magic Kingdom.
But the desserts were what really blew me away. A pumpkin creme brulee in a chocolate tart shell with a Morello cherry sauce had me talking about it for days after the party. And close contenders mixed two of my favorite things together — alcohol and dessert. Those included a chocolate 3 ways-dark almond buttermilk cake layered with milk chocolate truffle creme and white chocolate Chambord and a tequila-infused key lime pie with chocolate coconut rum gelato.
Speaking of drinks, last week's event stuck mainly to wine and beer, versus the event I attended last year that had a lot more mixed drinks and martinis available. Florida Orange Groves Winery from St. Petersburg had a very refreshing Key Hurricane Class 5 Florida White Sangria and a sweet dessert type wine called the Mango Mamma. Straying from the wine pack was a light, but enjoyable Leblon Brazilian Strawberry Lemonade, a rum drink presented by Vitoria Setta.
These menus change weekly throughout the Food & Wine Festival (the last one is on Nov. 13), so it's always a surprise on what you'll get to eat.
If you decide to check it out for yourself, it's at the World ShowPlace Pavilion (between Canada and the United Kingdom). Your ticket includes reserved seating for the 5:45 p.m. performance of the Eat to the Beat Concert in the America Gardens Theatre followed by the main event from 6:30 – 9 p.m. This year there is also a Wine View Lounge – a private area with reserved tables, premium bar and artisanal cheese station for an additional $90.
To make reservations call 1-407-WDW-FEST.
