International taxation
Decision of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) regarding non-allowable deductions in case of the sale of real estate located in another member state of the European Union. The European Court of Justice delivered its prejudicial judgment (available here) of 7 November 2013 regarding recognition of capital losses from the sale of real estate located in another member state of the European Union as non-allowable deductions.The reason for the application to the ECJ is that according to the Finnish Law on Income Tax, a capital loss arising from the sale of real estate can be deducted against income, however, this tax relief is applicable only to real estate located in Finland.A Finnish resident individual claimed deduction of the capital losses from the sale of real estate in France. The ECJ had to rule whether Finnish legislation is not in breach of EU legislation norms and whether such deduction should be allowable.The ECJ delivered its judgment that member states have the right to apply rules which do not allow deduction of capital losses arising from the sale of real estate in another member state.A commentary: this decision of the ECJ grounds the right of a member state to treat capital losses arising from the sale of real estate in another member state as non-allowable deductions. Furthermore, the principle that real estate transactions shall be subject to taxation in the state where the real estate is located, is verified.
As of 2014, the double taxation avoidance treaty with the Kyrgyz Republic shall be applied. As of 1 January 2014, a double tax avoidance and prevention of tax evasion treaty between Lithuanian Government and the Government of Kyrgyz Republic came into force.Please be reminded that according to the provisions of the double tax avoidance treaties, income of residents of Lithuania and of Lithuanian entities received from these foreign states as well as income received by the entities and residents of these states received from Lithuania shall be subject to taxation; furthermore double taxation of income received by Lithuanian residents from foreign states is eliminated.Lithuania applies double tax avoidance treaties with 50 states.

In a battle of undefeated teams, the Minnesota Lynx survived another close duel to beat the Chicago Sky 75-72 Monday afternoon at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
Lindsay Whalen scored a season-high 22 points and Seimone Augustus added 17 to alleviate a struggling Maya Moore.
Minnesota (5-0) displayed much grit to respond to a week-long narrative about playing three games in four days. Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve didn't consider the compact window to be their most excruciating leg of the season, but she is ready to field a new set of questions.
"The way this team tackles challenges just makes me proud. To push through it and not feel sorry for ourselves, this is a pretty tough-minded crew," Reeve said.
To say Minnesota faced a challenge would be an understatement. Chicago (4-1) got an upper leg with some early penetration, scoring 14 points in the paint in the first quarter, while Minnesota's usually efficient shooting technique lost its footing.
Minnesota regained balance, and the remainder of the game was a tactical skirmish. Neither team led by more than seven, but the Lynx encountered the same scene they faced a year ago in Chicago, leading by three in the closing seconds of regulation.
Last year, Elena Delle Donne hit an off-balance three-pointer from the right wing to force overtime in a game the Sky won 94-86. This time, with 12.3 seconds to go, Courtney Vandersloot was cut off by Minnesota's defense at the left wing, and her only option was a shovel pass to Delle Donne for a 29-foot three that caromed off the back of the rim.
"They took away what we were going for," Vandersloot said. "We made it tough for them at points, but we made some costly turnovers down the stretch."
"It was the same play that they ran last year. Maya did a great job sticking (defense), Whalen did a great job hounding Vandersloot and created a chaotic situation for them," Augustus said.
Delle Donne finished with 16 points for Chicago, and Jessica Breland recorded a double-double with 16 points and 15 rebounds. Allie Quigley scored a career-high 15 points thanks to a reliable jumper, but her bunnies from inside came up soft, leaving some transition plays empty for the Sky.
Moore's 30-point scoring streak ended, but her contributions elsewhere was an effective demonstration of her all-around potency. Her choking defense against Delle Donne forced the second-year forward into tough shots.
"That was her best defensive game of her Lynx career. I don't know that I would have thought about doing that even a year ago. Maya is really responding to these types of challenges and adding different things to our game," Reeve said.
Only when Moore was called to the bench did Delle Donne find openings to drive through, but she was unable to cause enough damage.
Augustus and Whalen provided the offensive response for the Lynx, with the pair hitting several clutch jump shots in the closing minutes of regulation.
"Just being ready when it swings around to you. That's been a constant theme throughout the start of the year," Whalen said.
Moore finished with 14 points, dropping her average to 29.8 per game. However, her 149 points through the first five games of the season is the highest mark in league history.
Minnesota gets three days to recharge before hosting San Antonio Friday night.

The following is a previous question with an additional hypothesis: Let $F_1$, $F_2$ and $K$ be fields of characteristic $0$ such that $F_1\cap K=F_2 \cap K=M$, the extensions $F_i/(F_i \cap K)$ are Galois and algebraic, and $[F_1 \cap F_2 :M]$ is finite. Then is $[F_1 F_2 \cap K:M]$ finite?

Again, no. Let $F_1$ be the splitting field of $\{x^2-3,x^4-3,x^8-3,\ldots\}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$; $F_2$ the splitting field of $\{x^2-5,x^4-5,x^8-5,\ldots\}$; and $K$ the splitting field of $\{x^2-15, x^4-15,x^8-15,\ldots\}$.
Then $M=F_1\cap K = F_2\cap K = F_1\cap F_2$, with the intersection being the splitting field of $\{x^2-1, x^4-1,x^8-1,\ldots\}$ (i.e., adjoining the $2^n$th roots of unity to $\mathbb{Q}$). Since $F_i$ is Galois and algebraic over $\mathbb{Q}$, it is also Galois and algebraic over $F_i\cap K$; $[F_1\cap F_2:M]=1$, but $K\subseteq F_1F_2$, and $[K:M]$ is infinite.

A Brazilian family hope their extra fingers and toes will guide their country to a sixth World Cup win this summer.
04:27, UK, Saturday 21 June 2014
A family will not need their second hands to count up Brazil's World Cup wins if their country claims a sixth title this summer - they were all born with two extra fingers.
Some 14 members of the da Silva family, who live near the capital, Brasilia, also have two additional toes because of a rare genetic condition called polydactyly.
Ahead of their team's crucial final group game against Cameroon on Monday, they said they are keeping all of their 196 digits crossed for a win that would see the side through.
Ana Carolina Santa da Silva said: "We're giving so much energy for Brazil to win.
"I believe this energy will flow on to the pitch and they will play really well and win their sixth World Cup."
Although their extra digits set them apart from their 10-fingered friends, the da Silvas do not struggle with every day tasks like cooking.
Teenager Joao de Assis da Silva puts his spare fingers and toes to good use on the football pitch, saying he can "hold the ball more easily" when playing in goal.
Grandmother Silvia Santos da Silva said the family's unique trait has not opened them up to discrimination and said family members born with more conventional hands and feet actually feel left out.
"My father always looked upon this as something natural," she said.
"For us, people with five fingers are the ones that are abnormal."

About Me:
My boyfriend put me on to Lupe's music about 3 years ago. He is a HUGE fan and is inspired by his music and lyrics. He goes by the name beathead and makes amazing beats, nothing like your everyday track beats you hear on the radio. I signed up for this fan club in hopes to get his music heard and possibly some feedback from Lupe himself. I know it's a long shot, but I believe in his talent and am hopeful someone will invest in his passion of music.

When it comes to eyelashes, the more lush, the better. For maximum lash impact we suggest going beyond your favorite mascara and adding falsies to your fringe. There are dozens of styles, from luxurious mink to glam and glittery, but right now we're digging the babydoll effect. Get the look with a full lash strip that's thicker on the outer edge or just add individuals toward the outer corners of your eyes. --Angel

What album views can I choose from?
I consider getting the Cowon J3 because it looks like a very sexy and smart device to me to replace my old ipod video. Ive already read the J3 article in this forum and watched a lot of videos, but theres one thing I still don't know. How are the albums shown when I browse through them by tags. Is it just a list or can I also display the album art plus artist, like you know it from Sony players?
I know theres this cover art browser (10 covers per page?!) when you hold the J3 horizontally. But how does it look like vertically?
Greetz and happy new year!

The horizontal mode is referred to as "Matrix Browser", and it's just a list of the cover art for the surrounding 9 albums (i.e. alphabetically before and after the currently playing track's album) for the current album being played (i.e. the album name in the tag of the current track being played). The 2x5 display is (r,c) sequenced (1,1), (2,1), (1,2), (2,2), ..., (1,5), (2,5) to reflect the alphabetical order of the 10 album names/art shown.
So in my opinion, it's not so much a "browser" as much as it's almost more like a "randomizer" based on the currently playing track's album. And tapping on any of these album art images will go directly to that album (still in horizontal presentation), album art on the left side and list of tracks from that album on the right side, vertically scrollable and playable. You'll still be hearing the originally playing track but will be seeing the album you tapped on, though you'll be seeing the tapped album's art and list of tracks... until you tap one of its tracks to change music.
Only when you actually tap on one of the newly displayed album's tracks shown in the list on the right will the tapped track now start playing and the host album be reset to the corresponding album, which is now considered by the J3 to be the "currently selected" album. Rotating the J3 back to portrait mode will now show this new currently selected album's art in full-size at the top of the screen. And rotating the J3 back to horizontal will now have the currently selected album in the "center", i.e. in the (2,3) cell.
Also, you actually HAVE TO BE PLAYING SOMETHING (in vertical portrait mode, using Player, either in play or pause mode) in order to rotate the J3 90 degrees into landscape mode in order have it then change to Matrix Browser mode. In other words, Matrix Browser mode is only enabled as possible when the portrait mode Player itself is active (playing or in PAUSE). So you go back and forth between Player (vertical portrait mode) and Matrix Browser (rotating to horizontal while Player is active vertical).
But when you're just browsing lists through tags Matrix Browser mode is not obtained by rotating the J3 horizontally.

brilliant sights great guide and the night tour by the Brooklyn Bridge was wonderful just in time to catch sunset and time to take amazing photos. It give you the whole picture of what Manhattan is all about.
March 2016
Great tour so you can see most of New York City and beyond some, make sure you have a good hat and gloves for excellent photos from upside deck in the cooler months. Most guides are very entertaining and clear enough to hear. Fantastic value for money, would need at least 2 day tour as it very hard to get everything tour in, in one day.
Thank you.

Took my two daughters for their 18th and 21st to New York. Have used hop on / hop off buses in Paris and find them excellent. It's a great informative, quick way of getting around and helps you cover so much more in a relaxing manner. Buses are so regular you never wait longer than 10 mins, sometimes two buses as once so space is never a problem. The addition of the river cruise was amazing value for money. Information Centre just round the corner from 1st bus stop so no traipsing around looking for it. Tour Guides were superb. Would and have recommended to family and friends. Made an amazing trip even more amazing!!!

One of the great archaeological finds of modern times it is - a 500 year old skeleton found under a carpark in the British Midlands has been identified as Richard the Third. Archeologists at the University of Leicester have confirmed that the remains of a man in his early thirties, with a twisted spine and a split-open skull are indeed those of the infamous Last King of the Plantagenets, whose final resting place has been unknown since the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.
The skeleton was discovered in August last year, but it's taken 6 months of DNA testing to establish its identity beyond a reasonable doubt.

text: Steve....I got my fake battery case from Erdos. It truly is a real beauty and I cannot tell the difference between it and an original when it is all together. Erdos provided the sealed lead acid battery with it. Battery pictured below. It accepts Erdo's hidden lid connection terminals perfectly. I've had the battery for darn near three years now and it holds a charge real well. I use it to test all the electric system as my build progresses and I have not had to recharge it yet. Anyone know if this lead acid battery will leak ? I know....Made in V-china. What isn't anymore though ????

A straight-to-DVD release, especially for the horror genre, is not always a bad thing. In fact, some times the lower the budget, the more genuine the final artifact. Unfortunately, this was not the case in the adaptation of the beloved first book in the Dean Koontz paranormal series, Odd Thomas. A decent cast, some okay special effects, and a fun third act cannot completely save an otherwise wasted attempt at what should have been a no-brainer easy franchise for teens and even die hard Koontz fans.
Director Stephen (The Mummy, Deep Rising) Sommers handles this film almost as if it is not his own, even though he also wrote the screenplay. The first hour-or-so flip-flops between being simultaneously too condensed and not enough in the story department. It is almost as if he could not decide whether or not to make it a miniseries (which it was probably better suited for in retrospect) or a one-and-done movie. There are too many boring parts that seem unnecessary to the finale, but there are also many parts left out of the book that will have Koontz fans scratching their heads. The one saving grace for the plot is that it is, at is core, very clever. The twists and turns are all explained and the shock at the ending (although seemingly out of place in a supposed "comedy" such as this) is altogether effective.
Anton (Charlie Bartlett, Alpha Dog) Yelchin leads the cast as the title hero and does an adequate job being immediately likable and giving the narrative foundation for what should have been a fun and original movie. Addison (Stand Up Guys, Best Man Down) Timlin plays the love interest and Willem (Shadow of the Vampire, Platoon) Dafoe plays the buddy cop. Both are okay in their roles, but appear to be simply reading their lines at several crucial points in the film. It was sad to see such potential squandered on an apparently bored set of moviemakers and stars. Perhaps a remake will save this franchise, but it seems highly doubtful at this point in time. Which is a shame, because the action-packed third act really does deliver promise of some truly unique potential storylines. Only time will tell if the viewers care enough to warrant a sequel.

TOTD #81: How to configure "database.yml" to be used with both JRuby and MRI ?
By arungupta on May 04, 2009
In JRuby-on-Rails tutorial at Rails Conf 2009, Nick Sieger shared a nice little tip on how to configure "database.yml" to be usable with both JRuby and MRI:
|<% jdbc = defined?(JRUBY_VERSION) ? 'jdbc' : ''
adapter: <%= jdbc %>mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: myapp_development
pool: 5
username: root
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
# ...
"JRUBY_VERSION" is defined only if your using JRuby and so the right database adapter is picked up accordingly.
The complete slides for the tutorial are available here. Learn about other related talks here.

Sometimes I think about going vegetarian or vegan again.. But I love bacon.. And hot wings.. And cheese.. And chicken nuggets.. 😔 oh well Reports @YelhsaNosnhoj 8:43 PM - 23 Feb 2014
It's savory, chewy, and releases chemicals in your brain when you eat it. People become vegetarian for many reasons. One may have had a bad experience and got a hold of some bad meatloaf. The next person may have learned that those neatly proportioned packaging involved a lot of ugly work to get it that way. Some name their animals and become attached to Wilbur. For most it a feeling that the balance that meat provides will be lost forever.
"Meat doesn't have a monopoly on protein. In fact, almost all foods (except alcohol and sugar) contain some. A half-cup of beans even has about the same amount of protein as one ounce of meat. To get all of your essential amino acids, focus on eating a variety of protein-packed plants, including lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, and milk (almond works if you're cutting out dairy), recommends Eric C. Sharer, MPH, RD, from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Vegetarian Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group. Bonus: Vegetarian diets tend to have higher levels of fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamins C and E than omnivorous ones."-abcnews.go.com
There is a vegetarian in all of us. Adam and his wife did just fine.You just have to find what you like. Try a local whole foods store and get one thing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sacredsage Great Little Table This is a great, sturdy little table for the deck, patio or in the house. I was going to put it on my large covered porch but it looked great in the house so for the time being it's hosting a houseplant inside, but it is small enough to move from the house to the porch with ease. July 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Prieta Beautiful Accent Table for Patio I purchased this table to place outside my patio, wonderful for morning coffee or a cocktail late in the evening. Unfortunately when I went to purchase two more tables I was told that they had been discontinued. I am completely devastated, as I cannot find the same table anywhere, have tried in vain to no avail. August 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linds The table is my favorite piece of patio furniture. I love my new balcony furniture. It is the perfect evening spot this summer for drinks or a cozy spot for coffee in the morning. I absolutely LOVE my new furniture. The Shell Mosaic Table is by far my favorite part of the whole picture. I absolutely love it. June 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jeanne00 GORGEOUS MOSAIC TABLE! Loved this table so much I bought another one. Two sit on our deck. They are heavy, sturdy, and beautifully detailed. I couldn't find a similar table under $100 anywhere else! SO worth the price and paying the shipping to have these. My husband even liked them a lot! April 24, 2013

Chekhov's Mistress Lives It Up Big
Bud Parr is salivating. It's AWP week and Andrew Sullivan threw him some link love, which led to a pack of ants strolling through his picnic.
I've got to say, I'm not all that big on conferences and group activities. It sounds as though Bud is much the same way:
I've been to a lot of conventions and most of them are sickening to one degree or another, but there was a certain harmony of purpose at AWP and despite one table of dour interns (from a publisher we know) everyone was pretty enthusiastic about what they were doing.
So from the sound of things, AWP must be a blast. Sorry I'm missing it.
Interesting Quote Of The Day
This is an interesting quote:
"A new, non-corporate internationalism is emerging in literature, an independent web of associations and alliances at whose centre, like a brooding spider, lurks 3:AM. This collection is essential reading." – Tom McCarthy, author of Remainder
Ron Silliman's Brilliance
Ron Silliman and I are on the same page. He received a questionnaire from the Poetry Foundation and publishes his answers on his blog. Tidbits:
There are presently at least 10,000 publishing English-language poets. There may in fact be twice that number – it really depends on what percentage of publishing poets you think have active weblogs dedicated to the subject (if it's ten percent, then the number is 10,000, but if you think the percentage is lower – as I believe – then the actual census of publishing poets would be greater).
And the common wisdom is that we need to promote poetry in order to get more people to read it. I don't think that's the problem. I think we have a lot of people who read poetry, and sadly, too many of them think they can write it.
The consequence is that there are more active poets now than ever, but that the total addressable market for any given book of poems is likely to be much smaller.
This isn't exactly very encouraging. I think the landscape is such that if you don't have an MFA your chances of finding a publisher for your poetry is severely diminished. Add to that the increasing nichification of poetry and the number of potential publishers that might consider publishing your poetry is even less. Throw in the economics of publishing and the situation is even bleaker.
To speak in this social context of "the decline of poetry" strikes me as completely missing the mark. It is possible that fewer people are reading certain types of poetry and/or certain types of poets, but there has never been so much poetry being written in the United States. I suspect, but can't prove, that there has never been so much poetry being read in the U.S. as well, only that it is in a far more decentralized and fragmented fashion than before. We do not have a single national poetry audience, but rather hundreds if not thousands of smaller audiences, some of which overlap with one another, but many of which do not.
Is it any wonder then that our poet laureate doesn't feel any obligation to promote poetry? Why should he? We're already reading it.
And the final gem:
I am not at all certain that any MFA program should admit a student who cannot name a minimum of 100 books of contemporary poetry – published in the past 25 years – and say a little about each. And I am not sure that I would graduate any student who did not then seriously read 200 more such books over the next period of time – some schools require as few as 25 – and again could say a little about each. This would lead to far fewer students coming out of these programs with only barebones knowledge of what is being done today, far fewer students having to reinvent the wheel, and a much richer sense of what is actually possible in contemporary poetry, from slams to the new formalism, from flarf to narrative, from the prose poem to visual poetics.
And this is the part that is embarrassing for me. I'm not sure that I could meet the 100 book requirement. And I've been writing poetry for 20 years. But to meet this requirement, keeping in mind that I'm not enrolled in any MFA program nor do I currently have plans to enroll in one, but if I did then that would pose a slight problem for me. Off the top of my head I could probably come up with 20 titles and be able to discuss them at length, but 100? I've forgotten that many.
It likely wouldn't take me but a couple of months of study time to become familiar with that many books if I needed to, but that is precisely Silliman's point, namely, that MFA students, and graduates in particular, should have a better sense of what is going on in the field of poetry in general and in their own niche specifically than today's graduates do. Furthermore, many of them couldn't tell you the difference between a synecdoche and a trope either and this is what I mean when I speak of Millennialism – poets should study the craft, contemporary poets as well as the classics, and form some kind of style around the elements of form and content while trying to keep continuity with those who have come before.

In Wine website, i see different type of Operating system but cant find BOSS LINUX. in which category does it come? Is it called with an other name?
BOSS appears to be derived from Debian, so the first thing you should do is check if WINE is already in their repositories -- it probably is:
If not, you could try the debian one from the Wine site, but as it says:
So don't bother with that unless you can't download Wine directly from the BOSS repositories. Unfortunately, if Wine is missing from the BOSS repositories, the version from the Wine site probably won't work.
As wikipedia says, BOSS is a Debian derivative, so maybe you can take Debian version of wine, if you really need an up-to-date one.
The BOSS' recommended version should be the one coming with BOSS, which are available on BOSS repository.

Midget Submarine footage
RAW VISION: Midget Submarine footage Office of Environment and Heritage, NSWPT0M0S 620 349
WITH a couple of tinnies and a second-hand fish finder, they solved a mystery that had confounded maritime experts for more than 64 years.
And for the knockabout group of weekend divers from the northern beaches who stumbled across a midget Japanese submarine six years ago, the accolades keep coming.
First came the lucrative TV deal brokered by celebrity agent Max Markson, which they divvied up to help pay mortgages and travel overseas.

It was followed by a string of prestigious awards, and a newfound respect from the Sydney diving community.
And yesterday, the group was among those honoured at a ceremony at Mona Vale to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the World War II Japanese submarine attack on Sydney Harbour which left the city gripped by fear.
Not bad for a bus driver, an electrician, a plumber, a builder, a mortgage broker and two retirees who still meet every Saturday morning for a dive and a beer.

"One of our guys [once said] we might have solved a bit of history, but we made a bit of history as well," said Alan Simon from Mona Vale, a member of the group known as No Frills Divers. "And although we've always been a close group of friends, we're closer than we've ever been."
The Heritage Minister, Robyn Parker, unveiled a plaque yesterday at a headland overlooking the resting place of the M24 mini-submarine, which lies on the ocean floor five kilometres out and 55 metres down off Bungan Head, near Newport.
The bodies of Japanese submariners Mamoru Ashibe and Katsuhisa Ban are entombed in the hull, which is filled with sand and snagged by nets.

Ms Parker said the memorial would encourage visitors to ponder the audacious attack, which killed 21 Allied seamen and six Japanese sailors on May 31 and June 1, 1942.
The Japanese Consul-General, Masahiro Kohara, expressed a "deep sense of remorse" for the suffering inflicted in the attack.
"I am very fortunate to live in today's world, when [Australia and Japan] share such a friendly and peaceful relationship," he said. "This commemoration … makes us re-examine the importance of personal integrity, friendship, mutual trust and peace."
Divers will be granted controlled access to the wreck over several days later this year, via a ballot system.
After a six-year wait, No Frills Divers will descend first. It is just in time for some group members, the eldest of whom is 71.
"Some of us aren't getting any younger, and we wanted to make sure we dived it before [we were too old]," said Mr Simon, 64.
"It's very important, and it will be tremendous to go down again."

Interested joining a sorority? That's great! There are two sororities at UAA: Sigma Sigma Sigma (Tri Sigma) and Alpha Sigma Alpha and we welcome sisters from all walks of life in the spirit of sisterhood and love. We empower our sisters to reach their maximum potential, to become strong leaders and equip them with the tools they need to change the world. However joining to a sorority is a lifetime commitment and should be researched first.
Every sorority has a core purpose that their sisters promise themselves to. Tri Sigma's purpose is to establish a among its members a perpetual bond of friendship, to develop in them strong womanly character and to impress upon them high standards of conduct. Alpha Sigma Alpha's purpose is to foster close friendships between members and to develop women of poise and purpose. The closer your personal purpose aligns with your sorority the stronger impact joining will have on your life.
Every sorority has different values and it's members try to embody them as well as their own. Tri Sigma's values are Wisdom, Power, Faith, Hope and Love. Alpha Sigma Alpha's values are Balance, Generosity, Growth, Integrity, Learning, Relationships, Responsibility and Enjoyment. The closer a sororities values match your own, the deeper and more meaningful the experience will be.
Fun with Friends
Joining a sorority will give you plenty of opportunity to make friends but are you willing to help a friend study for a test? Go to dinner with friends even though you may not like to go out at nights? Would you be willing to pick up a classmate on the way to school? Stay at school two hours after class to have a surprise birthday party? Help a friend through a personal or family crisis? Fortunately most friendships are worth it but remember that friendships take time and work regardless of whether or not you are both sorority sisters.
Sororities offer plenty of leadership opportunities such as serving on councils or committees, holding an officer position within the organization or organizing an event or fundraiser for the sorority. We also encourage sisters to seek leadership opportunities outside of the organization such as being the head of student club or taking a challenging internship or volunteer position.
Your sisters are college students too and understand that collegiate courses can be difficult. Our chapters intentionally set themselves up for success by implementing scholarship programs and applying for scholarships, both locally and nationally. In fact, it is all too common to see large groups of our Greek members setting up study tables in the Consortium Library to cover daily homework and prepare for upcoming exams!
Joining a sorority will help you develop personal and professional networks for life. After all your sisters will graduate and become professionals in diverse fields such as nursing, business and graphic/web design for example. But just as friendships take work so do professional contacts. You will be encouraged to attend alumni gatherings and keep in touch with your sisters. The more work you put into developing professional contacts the more often they will be there when you need them.
Community Service is a win-win situation for all of those involved. Volunteers get to do something good for their fellow community members, put it on their resume and possibly network with people in their future profession. Community Organizations get some much needed help from groups of highly engaged workers and thus are able to offer more services to those in need and most importantly more people from your community will get the help that they need. Whether it's a hot meal or a cleaner park to play and spend time outdoors in.
So then it's no wonder why Greek Organizations do so much for their communities. The Greek Organizations even have signature philanthropies. Tri Sigma's national charity is the Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation, their local charity is The Broken Sparrow Home. Alpha Sigma Alpha's national charities are the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation, Girls on the Run, Special Olympics and the S. June Smith Center. Their local charity is Covenant House Alaska. Besides their signature philanthropies, sorority sisters often volunteer on other projects such as raising money for breast cancer or the local soup kitchen.
How do I join?
While the best way to start a new member process is to have an in-person conversation with active members of our sorority community, we realize that is not always possible. During times when sororities are not hosting recruitment events, you have a few options: fill out the form below and SCGL will send your information to the proper recruiter, click on each sorority's link on the left-hand banner and follow the hyperlinks to send them a message, call the SCGL office (907-786-1217) and we can forward your information to the chapters or drop by in person to SU Room 210 to learn more.

Thank you! Your collection sounds quite substantial as well - especially the ones you built yourself!
I also have a wife - and only have the guitars I have now due to the good fortune of having a friend give me five left handed guitars that he couldn't play anymore. The Martin Backpacker (nylon) I re-strung - same with the Cordoba C5 classical - and a Gibson USA Les Paul Studio, Martin DM-L, and Fender DG-10CELH were traded at Wolfe Guitars in Jupiter for my Seagull Performer CW Flame Maple QI and my Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin II - along with an older Aria LW-15 with a too-narrow-for-me nut that was my only guitar prior to the gift. I bought the Giannini Craviola 12-string due to 12-string GAS and an incredible deal on Amazon last September... ;-)
Did you happen to be at the Rock and Blues Fest at the Sunrise last Thursday night? Excellent show!

Ice causes interstate woes
MONTPELIER Rapid icing of Interstate 89 in the Berlin and Montpelier area led to a three-vehicle accident and sent several others off the road Monday evening.
The accident was reported just before 9 p.m. near Exit 7. The northbound lane was shut down for a time so the accident could be cleared.
Earlier, at least half a dozen cars slid off the highway between exits 8 and 9, according to reports to dispatchers.
Authorities responding to the slide-offs at about 8:30 reported solid ice on the roadway, and one said he was unable to stop even at 20 mph.
Traffic became backed up at Exit 8 as southbound tractor-trailers and other vehicles were unable to make it up the hill on the interstate.MORE IN Central VermontBRATTLEBORO Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour created what little daylight there might be...

Kaufman Drives No. 13 Texas Tech to Westbrook Invitational Title
Kim Kaufman recorded her fifth top-five finish already this year Monday at the Westbrook Invitational.
Feb. 25, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Already the No.1-ranked player in the country, Kim Kaufman turned in yet another memorable performance Monday.
The Texas Tech senior fired a 6-under-par 66 with five birdies on the back nine to lead the 13th-ranked Lady Raiders to the Westbrook Spring Invitational title after a school-record 11-under 277 final round at the Westbrook Village Golf Club in Peoria, Ariz.
Tech's 277 card snapped the previous school record of 279 from the 2012 Westbrook Spring Invitational second round where the Lady Raiders eventually earned runner-up honors. The score was also the lowest 18-hole score in tournament history.
The team title marks the second for Tech already this season and the sixth under fourth-year head coach JoJo Robertson. The Lady Raiders also won the season-opening Ptarmigan Ram Classic, marking the second-straight year where Tech has claimed multiple tournament crowns.
The Lady Raiders entered the day tied for second with Washington and two strokes back of first-day leader Arkansas. Tech quickly made its way up the leaderboard, though, with under-par cards not only from Kaufman but Hannah Arnold and Elin Arvidsson as well.
Kaufman finished in a tie for second with Washington's SooBin Kim at 6-under for the tournament and two strokes back of medalist Gabriela Lopez of Arkansas, who like Kaufman, fired a tournament-record 66 final round. It was the fifth top-five finish in just six events already this year for Kaufman and the fourth time she has finished in second or better overall.
Arnold and Arvidsson, meanwhile, both carded career-best 68 and 69 final rounds to help lead Tech to its third-lowest 54-hole total in school history. The Lady Raiders ended the tournament with a 2-under 862 that was five strokes better than second-place Arkansas and 12 better than Washington in third place. Both teams entered the event ranked in the top 10 of the latest Golfweek poll.
After sharing the tournament lead after two rounds Sunday, Arvidsson dropped a few spots on the leaderboard but still managed to record her first-career top-five finish as she was a stroke back of Kaufman in fourth place.
Arnold ended the day tied for 15th with fellow teammate Beverly Mendoza, who completed Tech's final round card with a 2-over 74. It was the highest career finish ever for Arnold, who earned her second career top-20 performance. Kimmy Hill also fired a 3-over 75 final round to finish tied for 56th overall.
The Lady Raiders continue their string of three-straight tournaments in the state of Arizona on March 8-10 with the Notre Dame Clover Cup held in Mesa, Ariz.
