Diversity at Western
Western is proud of the fact that it is increasingly becoming a school of choice for students of color. Over the past 35 years students of color have discovered that Western is an excellent place to experience higher education, and by doing so have enriched the Western experience for all students.
Going back to 1980 just 388 students of color were enrolled at Western out of 10,616 students (3.7%). The fall 2014 student body was comprised of 3,547 students from ethnic minority groups, in a total student body that numbered 15,060 (23.6%), due both to new enrollment and improved retention. A total of 28.5% of new freshman and 21.5% of new transfers self-reported their racial or ethnic identity as Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander.
The face of Western is changing and we celebrate our changing diversity.
- Students Stephanie Gallardo and Francisco Ivarra, wear two stoles representing their involvement and contribution to Western's Ethnic Student Center and MEChA organization while walking hand-in-hand during at commencement.
- Ted Pratt, Dean of Students, works closely with the Associated Students Board of Directors at the beinning of the year to help in development of a strategic plan.
- Joanne DeMark, Leadership Development Specialist, cofacilitates a workshop on building community during a student conference.
- Western's Student Admissions Representatives (StARs), a diverse group of student staff members in the Office of Admissions, help serve prospective students and lead campus tours for students and their families.
- WWU alumni Jim and Jane Higginson ('67 Woodring College of Education) and Bob and Marilyn Monahan were among the volunteers for the annual Compass 2 Campus Tour.
Our Focus
Western continues to prepare students for an increasingly complex and diverse society. Driving innovation, perseverance, and success, our family of active thinkers and leaders engage in exciting opportunities to develop and shape academic and multicultural identities.
Commitment to Inclusion
From Admissions to our seven academic colleges to the Alumni Office, valuing diversity excellence, equity, and inclusion are central to Western Washington University's mission. Western provides an atmosphere where students, faculty, and staff interact and engage in effective and courageous conversations, modeling a process of social development through civil discourse.

May 4 postgame quotes: Justin Williams
On his play to dive and disrupt a St. Louis scoring opportunity:
"I still didn't think we played a great third period. Obviously, we didn't let them score, which was great, but we needed to learn from what we did in the previous game was surrender a goal and then surrender a late goal. We got the win. We're happy about it. We've got to clean a few things up, but late in a game you're trying to keep the puck out of your net. It was just a desperation play to try to preserve the shutout."
On playing in tight, low-scoring games:
"I think it's great, because you can't take a shift off. You take a shift off, it could be the difference in a game. Your mind needs to be ready every single time you get on that ice, because little plays turn into big plays in series like this, and we got big plays out of our goaltender tonight."
On whether the team felt that the season was resting on this game:
"There's no secret that not many teams have comeback from three-nothing deficits. That's plain and simple. That's cut and dry. Obviously it's first to four, but this is a game that we needed to have. And game four is going to be the same. We don't want to be going back there down three-one. We want to put a little bit of pressure on them, win a game, see what happens."
On a "light" mood in the dressing room after the morning skate:
"We've had guys that have been through a lot, and we've been through a lot together, which helps. So we knew we needed it. We knew that maybe the first goal was going to win the game. It did, and as a result we're not where we want to be yet, but it got a big win for us."
On whether it was good to see Slava Voynov "get one":
"Good to see anybody get one."

DETROIT -- The problem with being on the negative side of the plus-minus ratings, according to Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock, is the number "follows you around."
"Sometimes, it gets in the way of you just feeling good about yourself,'' Babcock said. "We had 12 players (with a minus rating) when we were out west (last month), which is new territory for this team.''
Many of them have worked their way back into positive territory. Heading into Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Kings, the Red Wings were down to five regulars with minus ratings -- the entire fourth line (Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, Tomas Kopecky) and the second defense pairing (Niklas Kronwall, Brad Stuart).
Nobody has made a quicker turnaround than defenseman Brett Lebda. He was a minus-9 through 11 games, prompting Babcock to sit him for three games. Since then, he has posted a plus-9 rating in 16 games to get back to even.
Players receive a plus for every even-strength and shorthanded goal their team scores while they are on the ice and a minus for every even-strength or shorthanded goal their club allows when they are on the ice.
While it's not a definitive gauge in assessing a player's performance, it is somewhat of a reflection of their play.
"Plus-minus is a weird stat,'' Lebda said. "A lot of it is luck. Sometimes you step on the ice and get one (plus or minus), sometimes you step off the ice and don't get one.''
In Lebda's case, he has dug himself out of a hole by doing a much better job of getting the puck out of his zone quickly and efficiently.
"Two ways to go about playing -- you can go back and get the puck and get it going, or you can go back and play D-zone coverage,'' Babcock said. "If you want to play D-zone coverage, you might as well be 6-foot-4. Go back and get the puck and get it going, that's how he has to play and that's what he's doing now.''
Lebda said he and defense partner Andreas Lilja are playing better together.
"Everyone goes through a rough stretch sometime in their career and I think that was a low point so far in mine,'' Lebda said. "You keep going, you don't relax, that's for sure, because I don't want to find myself back where I was a couple of weeks ago.''
Kronwall had posted a minus-11 rating in 15 games and had gone 12 games without ending a night with a plus rating before Thursday, when his plus-4 night moved him to minus-4 on the season.
"I needed that. It was one of the few times of the year I walked out of the rink and felt pretty good,'' Kronwall said. "There's times when you feel bad about stuff like that, but you can't let it bother you too much.''
Draper, who had posted a minus rating only twice in his first 14 seasons with the Red Wings, stands at a team-worst minus-10. Given his checking role, it won't be easy to chip away at that number.
"I think Drapes struggled at the start, but I don't think he is now at all,'' Babcock said. "But sometimes when you get a number like that, especially when you're a guy like Drapes and not playing on a scoring line, it's hard to get out.''
Quincey seizes opportunity
Kyle Quincey went from being the odd-man out in Detroit to one of the top defensemen for the Kings in a matter of days after Los Angeles claimed him off waivers on Oct.13.
"We had him, (Jonathan) Ericsson and (Derek) Meech rotating all through exhibition,'' Babcock said. "Maybe if we would have just given one guy the job, he might have taken off. By trying to create a competition, you don't get to play because you're pressured up.
"You're trying to keep all your good players. We were unable to keep Kyle. I just feel good for him.''

HAUTE, Ind. - The Indiana State baseball team took care
of business on Tuesday, scoring 13 runs in the second inning en route to a 21-1
victory over the Illinois Springfield Prairie Stars on Bob Warn Field at
Sycamore Stadium in front of 494 fans.
Indiana State's 21 runs for the game are their most since scoring 23 against Butler in a 23-3 win in Terre Haute on March 18, 2009. ISU's 13 runs in the second inning are their most since plating 12 in the second inning at Southern Illinois in a 14-4 victory on April 23, 2010.
The Sycamores (20-5) scored four runs in the first inning, using a three-run home run by junior Jeremy Lucas to score in the first inning for the 14th time this season. The home run was the sixth of the season for Lucas.
ISU plated 13 runs in the second inning to put the game away, brining 16 batters to the plate and tallying 11 hits in the inning. Junior Casey McCurdy hit a three-run home run in the inning, while senior Jeff Miera tallied three RBIs on a pair of doubles and senior Lucas Hileman scored two runs after hitting both a triple and a double in the inning.
Indiana State also scored four runs in the fourth inning, with Miera and freshman Landon Curry both being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded before McCurdy knocked in two with a single through the middle of the infield.
Junior Devin Moore (2-2) earned the victory, starting the game and pitching three innings while striking out two batters. Redshirt freshman Tyler Pazik, junior Tyler Fehringer and sophomore Josh Negele all saw time on the mound in relief.
Indiana State travels to in-state rival Ball State on Wednesday, facing the Cardinals at 3:00 p.m. from Muncie, Ind.

Customers strolling the aisles, carefully selecting movies to take home and enjoy -- but with one major difference.
The customers aren't bringing the movies back. The wide banner in the parking lot tells why: Store Closing.
To thousands of loyal customers, Emerald City Video has been an oasis of entertainment and great customer service for 25 years.
"It's just a shame to see an independently run business go under," said customer Josh Snodgrass, shaking his head sadly as he filled his arms with DVDs. "They have a hell of a staff."
For owners Jim Loperfido and his son Jay, the video business has been a longtime family passion. They ran their first store, Who's on First Video, in Auburn, from 1983 to 1992.
In 1992, Jim's father, Patrick, bought Emerald City Video, a three-store chain at the time.
Jim sold Who's on First and moved over to operate the Emerald City stores with his father and son.
Of that chain, only the DeWitt store on Erie Boulevard East remains, and its days are numbered.
Jim Loperfido said there were many reasons behind his decision to close.
"You can't point to just one factor. Everything added to it," he said, mentioning new players to the industry like Netflix, the online rental service which boasts more than 10 million subscribers, and Redbox, those self-serve DVD-rental vending machines are found in many local businesses.
Jim Loperfido, who was president of the National Independent Video Dealers Association for four years, said the video industry is generally very strong. The problem is that people buy more flicks than they rent.
At one time, 80 percent of home movie sales came from rentals. Now, that number is down to 20 percent. With more of the rental business being claimed by chains such as Blockbuster, Netflix and Redbox, it makes for stiff competition.
"We were never in this business to make a whole lot of money," Jim Loperfido said. "We just love movies."
For the employees of Emerald City, seeing the store slowly fade away is putting a sting in their final days there. The owners are avid collectors of movie memorabilia. Props, costumes and other collectibles, spanning decades of Hollywood's history, once covered the walls.
Now, virtually all of it is gone, leaving the store without the charm it once had.
"I love this store and always have," said Logan Bretschneider, who has worked there for eight years. He pointed out that the Blockbuster down the street was hiring, but shrugged it off.
"I would feel dirty working for Blockbuster," said Bretschneider.
In the meantime, the store will try to sell as much as it can before its doors close for good.
Anything remaining at the end of the month will either be donated to children's hospitals or nursing homes, or sold to a bulk buyer.
"It's been a fun 25 years," Jay Loperfido said. "I don't think I'd change anything if I had to do it again. I can't wait to see what the next 25 years brings."

SKB's Roto-X Cymbal Vault Just Got Bigger
SKB's Roto-X Cymbal Vault Just Got Bigger
Drummers have gravitated toward ever-larger cymbal sizes in recent years, especially when it comes to their ride cymbals. These days 21" and 22" rides are de rigueur while a mere 20" just seems so 2009.
That's why SKB was inspired to retool its hardy rolling Cymbal Vault to accommodate up to 22" sizes. Roto molded of linier low polyethylene with a welded center post that will hold as many as eight cymbals, the Roto-X 22" Cymbal Vault features a molded-in ergonomic carrying handle, in-line skate style wheels, an extra strong pull out handle, and comes with four cymbal pads to cushion and protect the cymbals.
Molded with SKB's "X" pattern, the new 22" cymbal vault stack with the SKB-Roto-X Drum Cases and features a sturdy, high-tension slide release buckle with heavy-duty web straps for easy closure. The case is backed with SKB's Million Mile Lifetime Guaranty with a street price of $144.99.

Poverty's a lot closer to our homes than we realize.
A report last week by the nonprofit Corporation for Enterprise Development found that about 63 percent of Alabama households are financially insecure. The report noted that those households do not have up to three months of basic expenses saved in the event of an emergency, like illness or unemployment.
In simpler terms, that means if you're reading this column, you're likely just a check or two away from poverty.
Or, at worst, homelessness.
It's not uncommon to see Birmingham's homeless wandering downtown streets, bundling up on corners to battle this unseasonably cold winter, or even scrounging through public trash cans. Those sights are so frequent that we've become desensitized to them, chalking them up to byproducts of city life, like potholes or pigeons.
But we're talking about human beings here. And, for many of us, one pink slip could transform our families into one of those urban statistics.
That alone should spur us to action.
On April 5, the Boutwell Auditorium will play host to the seventh Project Homeless Connect to serve the needs of our homeless neighbors. The event provides access to a range of services, from obtaining state identification and medical care to housing and legal services.
Consider it a one-stop-shop for the homeless community. No one leaves hungry or empty-handed.
It's all made possible by the thousands of volunteers who sign up each year. Volunteers work as guides during the event - pointing clients in the right direction, providing assistance and simply serving as a friendly face and a compassionate ear.
Visit HandsonBirmingham.org to sign up for this year's event. A team from Alabama Media Group will be there working with clients. We hope we'll see you there too.
Birmingham's homeless community isn't all that different from us. Spend some time with them and you'll discover that firsthand.

A Mandeville woman has pleaded guilty to one count of federal health care fraud for embezzling more than $700,000 from the Covington medical clinic where she worked. Originally authorized to pay herself a salary of $35,000 to $39,000 per year, Jacqueline Evans Segura, 41, used the company's payroll to compensate herself $106,592 in 2008, $271,475 in 2009, $225,281 in 2010 and $140,349 through July 2011, according to the factual basis of the case filed in U.S. District Court in New Orleans.
Segura also used the clinic's financial accounts to pay for personal catering and $13,000 in cell phone charges she and her family members racked up, among other unauthorized purchases, according to U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office.
Segura, who pleaded guilty this week, faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at sentencing, which is set for July 26.
While an employee at the clinic previously, Segura in 2008 began to manage the phone and credit card accounts of the plastic surgeon and his wife, a general surgeon, who ran the clinic. Segura was eventually promoted to office manager and handled the clinic's payroll in addition to her previous responsibilities, according to the court document.
The clinic was an authorized Medicare provider and received reimbursements that went directly into its bank account from Medicare on behalf of its patients.
An FBI investigation found Segura transferred money from the practice's account to pay for her rent as well as using the clinic's cell phone account to add extra phone lines for her family members, according to the factual basis. She also charged expenses of nearly $1,200 to the clinic's American Express account and routinely kept cash payments and checks from patients instead of depositing the money in the clinic's bank account, the document said.
Segura was the only employee authorized to make deposits at the clinic's bank and was notified by the clinic secretary when these deposits included large sums of cash.
During the time Segura handled the deposits, it was discovered that more than $60,000 in cash was recorded as being received by the clinic but never being deposited by Segura, authorities said.
Kevin Thibodeaux wrote this report. He can be reached at email@example.com

After commuting back & forth from Greene to Binghamton for 40 years, I finally stopped in Chenango Forks by the bridge, over the Chenango River, and saw the old Chenango Canal with it's stone locks. It's a very nice spot with a nice road/trail between the canal and the river, that I think goes all the ways to State Park.

Thai Muslim terrorists are now hunting down the teachers inside the schools. Ban guns? No, ban jihadists. Do something that would really save lives.
The photo really says more than any words could. It was a typical lunchtime in typical school cafeteria with a hundred students chatting and enjoying their friends, and doing what children do at lunchtime.
Four Muslim terrorists posing as parents gained entry to the school, came into the cafeteria, and in front of all the children, shot teacher Chonthee Charoenchon in the head twice. Even in Thailand's south, this is major news: Thai Muslim terrorists are now hunting down the teachers inside the schools.
Another cold-blooded murder by Muslims in Southern Thailand, where the most dangerous jobs in the world are being a teacher or a school bus driver, because nothing is more haram and unislamic than ...... education.
Teacher gunned down at school in Narathiwat The Nation, Jnauary 24, 2013
A teacher was fatally shot in front of students at Ban Tanyong School in Narathiwat's Bacho district yesterday.
Chonthee Charoenchon, 51, was shot in the head twice at the school's canteen by one of four suspected insurgents who had arrived on two motorcycles.
Chonthee's keys were snatched from his belt and the attackers made off with the teacher's Nissan sedan.
The assailants were posing as parents, officials said.
Bacho district chief Anan Boonsamran said that because the assailants knew which car belonged to Chonthee, they had probably been following him for a while.
The attack left the school's other teachers and the 292 students shaken...

What is in this article?:
- Corn profit opportunities look good in 2012
- Consumption has increased
- Machinery forecast
• This coming year may not be as good as this past year, but corn prices still should be pretty good."
• There's an opportunity, at 120 bushels, to see a little profit on corn."
Machinery forecast
Turning to the ag machinery forecast for 2011, combines will be up about 7 percent, cotton pickers up 9 percent and 150-horsepower tractors will be up about 8 percent, he says. Starting in 2012, there will be new emissions requirements, so those prices might increase even more.
Oil was about $70 per barrel about a year ago, and now we're in the $100-per barrel range, says Runge. It seems to be somewhat steady, but volatility will remain in the oil market, he says.
Crop insurance should be down some this year, he says, but land rent probably will be up. '
"If you're looking at expanding, you probably need to run the numbers and do a lot of 'what ifs.' There are pros and cons to long-term contracts. In Huntsville, the airport owns about 3,000 acres of row-crop land. They put it out for sealed bids, in a 10-year contract. They've got new contracts coming out this spring, and the rent on that land — for dryland acreage — amounted to just over $200 per acre. That's a lot of money for dryland acres. But a lot can happen in 10 years. In seven or eight years, land rent could be $250. So do due diligence on land rent."
The U.S. dollar is the highest it has been in 11 months, but that's hurting our exports, say Runge, and the European debt crisis continues to weigh heavy on the U.S. economy.
"Looking at marketing strategies, you can go with one-third, one-third and one-third, before or at planting, during the growing season, and at harvest. Another strategy is not to plant anything you haven't priced, so price it early and then plant to that. The easiest thing to do is to price it at harvest as you unload it from the truck."
This past year, marketing on corn was flat throughout harvest, so it didn't really matter when you marketed, he says. By September 2011, it was on a steady increase.
"You would have been in pretty good shape if you have sold some at planting, some during the growing season, and some at harvest. I don't think prices this year will get much lower than where they are now."
At 120-bushel corn, the break-even cost is about $4 per bushel, on irrigated cropland, says Runge. "There's an opportunity, at 120 bushels, to see a little profit on corn."
Crop rotation is very important, he says, and it is even more important now.
"There's isn't a big problem yet with herbicide-resistant weeds in parts of Alabama, but it's coming. The Tennessee Valley has it, southeast Alabama has it, and it'll be moving in. Rotation will help, so you can change the chemistries with the crops you're planting."
It's important, says Runge, to manage fertility, especially considering the high nitrogen prices. "If you can price some inputs early, I wouldn't hesitate to do so. But I wouldn't be in a big hurry to price crops because I think they'll be some opportunities later on."
If you're a farmer and you had a good year, it may be an ideal time to invest back into the farm, he says.
"This could include technology for your farm; water, whether it's with an irrigation system or new water sources; or you could pay down some of your higher interest debts."

A saint for all seasons
In honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, I thought I'd re-run a column I wrote about one of my favorite saints a while back. I hope to be back here later with a reflection on the pope's homily while in Assisi on this feast day.
Out in my perennial garden, nestled among the stonecrop and candytuft, stands a well-worn clay statue of St. Francis of Assisi made by an artisan in Mexico. The unusual characteristics of the statue make it a conversation piece as well as a spiritual touchstone that helps keep me centered as I dig and weed and plant. Read more

TORONTO -- And then, it ended.
Mercifully, peacefully, after 5½ months of gasping and pratfalling and vainly searching for a chemistry that was never really there.
Now they can start the long and arduous task of putting this eggshell team back together again.
But first, time out for this eulogy:
"It's extremely disappointing," Lawrence Frank said, after the Nets were officially eliminated from playoff contention last night, when they were treated to a 113-85 mauling by the Toronto Raptors. "After having six years of tasting the postseason, to not be able to play in the postseason is extremely disappointing. We apologize to our fans, to our management, to our ownership that we didn't fulfill our responsibility."
He left out the sponsors, the arena employees, and the ghost of Drazen Petrovic, but there's still time. This contrition could go on all summer.
The season perished and is survived only by Jason Kidd, who will play in some meaningful games next week about 1,500 miles to the southwest -- just as he wanted, even if he will more likely to be remembered for the crumbling team he left behind.
The post-Kidd Nets -- now a robust 32-47 -- went down last night like they always do, with a single punch that turned a 14-point lead into a 15-point deficit inside of 22 minutes, as they were battered into submission again by another rival determined to get well at their expense.
Yes, they'll be remembered for that famous glass jaw as well.
"This kind of bothers me, personally, that we as a team -- including myself -- let these games (go), being down 20, stuff like that," said Boki Nachbar.
"Yeah, too many times that has happened, and I don't have an answer for it. I wish I did. It's not just toward the end of the season, throughout the whole season it's been happening -- where we'd play well for 35 (minutes), and they'd deliver a punch and we wouldn't respond to it. That's been one of our weaknesses throughout the whole season."
What else? They allowed 67 points in the second half, they were blown away again by Toronto's peerless point guard duo -- T.J. Ford and Jose Calderon had 25 points and 18 assists combined -- and with Josh Boone sidelined, they allowed the Raps to have another tap drill on the offensive glass, with 25 second-chance points.
As with Cleveland two days earlier, the Nets allowed the Raps to come out of a month-long funk, with seven double-digit scorers.
But at this point, with nothing left to play for, that's all background music.
They're not done apologizing yet.
"I'm going to do everything in my power to come back" strong, said Vince Carter, who played well (21 points, six boards) despite incessant booing. "First of all, I'm going to play out this year as hard as I can, do what I need to do to get our confidence back and to stick the fans back on our side.
"I understand this was an off year, but we're still out here to play hard and win games and get the New Jersey Nets back to where we're supposed to be."
Even though they're not likely to bare any resemblance to the team that reached the playoffs the last six years.
"I don't think there's any summing up," said Richard Jefferson, probably the most likely part of the core to find himself with a new address. "It's a disappointment. We've been through a lot this year -- the trade ... a lot of different things. It didn't end the way we would like. It's just disappointing."
"We feel like we've let a lot of people down," Frank said. "This won't ever happen again. These are the cards we've been dealt, and it's how we handle it now from here on out. We put ourselves in this position.
"All of us, starting with me, are part of the problem and now it's about being professional, representing the jersey -- which has had a great deal of success -- with pride. And not just playing segments of the game, but competing on both ends to win games."
Notes: Carter's 40 points in the last two games gives him 7,124 for his Nets career, allowing him to climb into fourth place (past Kerry Kittles, 7,096) on the franchise's all-time scoring list. Assuming he's on the team next year, he'll pass Kidd (7,373) in November. ... The Nets will be giving away $100,000 in prizes in their home finale Tuesday night, including a trip for two to London to see them play Miami in October.

EVOLUTION 2 provides the control, power and lighting you need in four attractive finishes. The sealed flush mount control panel cleans easily, and features simple LED indicators for lighting and blower control. Brilliant lighting from four halogen lamps will satisfy the needs of the most discriminating cooks.
Everything changes. Lifestyles, needs, and for that matter—wants. Sometimes change happens fast, and at other times it takes a more measured pace. And that describes the Broan EVOLUTION Series perfectly. A decade ago, Broan's Allure series set the new standard in undercabinet range hood design. We listened to what consumers wanted most and wrapped their desires in a revolutionary design. But as times change, tastes and needs evolve too. That is the impetus behind Broan EVOLUTION Series. It's what comes next.
Beauty that's meant to be used. Some products beg to be touched, and rigorously used every day. You can see it in features that work intuitively, smartly, and prove the design team considered function hand in hand with form. In the Broan EVOLUTION Series it's easy to see this attention to detail. Lighting output is dramatically enhanced, and capture effectiveness has improved due to larger filters (15–40 percent larger). Plus, a sloped bottom design directs smoke into filters. Smooth surfaces, a fully-enclosed bottom and dishwasher-safe filters reduce the time needed to keep up with appearances. You can hear the differences too, complements of a 40 percent reduction in sound. So you can work beneath it, and entertain beside it. In the Broan EVOLUTION Series, we built in what matters most.

The Broan NuTone QP230 line of Range hood are very good.-The unit looks awesome, and it operates almost silent on the lower setting while moving a good amount of air. Even the mid setting is not that loud and it does move plenty of air out of your kitchen.-I found an issue with the this unit motor and fan placement. It sucks a lot of air from the left side but not from the right and that is where the stove power burner is located. The power burner is used the most in our kitchen (- a star).-The halogen bulbs do get mighty hot, almost as hot as the pan on the stove. I knew this and I replaced them with 6 watts dimmable LED Bulbs (Broan does not recommend it). The LEDs are cool to the touch and you will save a lot of energy too. You might not see a difference on lighting between the halogen and the LEDs (see images).-The unit has some weight to it, so you might need someone to hold it while you are mounting it. Also you might need to remove the lights housing since the screw holes are too close to the sides and it might be a pain to insert the screws. I marked where the screws were going, placed the screws almost all the way in, slide the unit and then finished tightening the screws.-A word to Broan (the manufacturer): In this day an age you should be thinking about energy conservation, so it will be good for the environment and for consumers wallet to start using LEDs on your products instead of the flaming hot energy hogs halogen bulbs.

This hood worked only two months for me, and then totally broken down. There are three major problems with this unit:1) The auto-sensor supposes to sense the temparature and adjust the fan speed. However, when this thing is on the auto-sensing mode. You can't mannually over-write it. Meaning you can't lower the fan speed or shut it off when it becomes so "excited". I had to mannually unplug the power cable to make it calm down.2) Now, the control unit is totally broken. I can't turn on the fan when I am cooking. I can only turn on the fan when I am not cooking. How useful is that? Great design for entertainment purposes only! It looks like that the senor is broken or the control unit reserved the logic. 3) To set clock time, you have to try hard, and it lost me few times before I can adjust the clock. Also, it seems that the clock moves faster each day, and I had to roll it out every week. [...]

Looks great, Works great, a top quality range hood.
By Bill R
from Angola, IN
I replaced a rangetop microwave with recirculating fan with the QP230 vented to the outside. I did not want to tie the thru-wall duct location to the fan exhaust port on a heavy, expensive rangetop microwave. The "theater-dimming" style lighting is excellent at illuminating our gas cooktop and the fan is whisper quiet on the low setting (90% of our use.)
Delivery was very quick and the tracking information accurate.
This product makes such a difference in the kitchen
By Danielle the Teacher
from Glenview, Illinois
This hood makes such a difference in the kitchen from my very old white one. It is super easy to clean and I LOVE the "dimmer" function of the three light levels.
I had originally ordered a different fan (on the advice of the salesperson) but upon delivery the installer said I needed a different type of hood. When they delivered the correct one, it wouldn't fit the space properly but the two men worked for a long time and came up with a alternate way to attach it to the space. Delivery was prompt and very efficient.
This is an attractive and effective range hood

We needed a new range hood to complete our kitchen remodeling project. We had had good experiences with our old Nutone hood, and decided this Broan model was similar in design but upgraded in many areas. We might have chosen the more powerful QP330SS if it did not need makeup air in our town.
ABT had the best delivered price. I have been happy with all our recent purchases from them.

Comments about Broan QP2 Series 30" White Cabinet Range Wall Hood:
We replaced a 42-year old original hood with the Broan QP230SS model during a recent kitchen do-over. We were originally looking for improved appearance and figured "all hoods work the same." We were wrong. The Broan not only looks professional but operates like a professional hood as well. It has excellent lighting and restaurant-style removable filters for ease of cleaning. We have the ducted model and it is quite effective at pulling cooking odors away from the cooktop and venting them outside the house. We now wish we'd replaced our old hood with a Broan years ago!

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
When installing, get help to hold in place or prop up into place with something (books, boxes etc). Then screw in as directed. I ended up propping the unit into place, then screwed into place verses trying to carefully install screws and then trying to slide into place which proved difficult.
Delivery was prompt and free! Item came in good condition.
This looks great and is very well rated
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
We are doing a major kitchen renovation and wanted to replace our old Nutone hood with a nice stainless steel model. We chose this Broan model for its looks and reputation. It's the same size as the old one, but since we're installing all new cabinets and new exhaust duct work that's not a major concern. I would have preferred the next model up (the QP330) but in our town that would have required makeup air. If we decide this isn't quite powerful enough we can always replace it ourselves -- we did that with the Nutone hood that was installed when we bought the house.
Service was prompt and the item arrived in the original packaging (factory sealed) with no signs of any damage in transit. Just what I expected from Abt based on prior purchases.
Great purchase
By Luckygal
from Rockford, IL
I love our new Broan range hood. It is so nice to have lights that are bright enough and the fan is so much better than our last one.
The turn around time from on line purchase to delivery was super quick.
Great vent hood
By JimboDC
from Washington, DC
This vent hood was very easy to install and has a great simple design. I am very happy with it. The biggest plus is the lighting; having 4 bulbs makes a big difference and they are so bright I never have to go above the initial setting. My only negative on this is I wish the fan was a little stronger however for the cost it is decent.

The Archos GamePad Might Not Revolutionize Mobile Gaming, But Its Software Might
This is the Archos GamePad, newly released in Europe. We just covered it and talked about its features. Like I said in the earlier article, it seems like a mid end device with a controller bolted onto it, nothing special and definitely nothing revolutionary. That's purely first impression, of course. Because if you look a little deeper, Archos may have something very special on their hands.
Controllers have long been a part of the Android gaming scene, but they've always been a fairly small niche. Many devices need root or adapter cables to use controllers. With some controllers (namely Sixaxis PS3 controlleers), you need a special app to map buttons properly, and that app is paid. Even I hook up my Xbox 360 wired controller to my Nexus 7 using a USB OTG cable. I had the controller laying around from being a cheapskate and not getting a second wireless controller for my Xbox 360 back in 2006 (I regret nothing, its use for PC gaming is irreplaceable), and the USB OTG cables can be purchased for under $5.
Even when you get the perfect setup, there is one huge problem: Developer support. Not many games support controllers of any kind. Dead Trigger does, and I play Dead Trigger with a 360 controller quite often. However, most of my other games don't support controllers in any way. Wind-Up Knight, a game I love dearly, works a little with the controller but it isn't playable. It responds to controller input though, and that's something already. And that's what I mean, any controller support is a surprise in games these days, and that shows you the state of support on Android. It isn't pretty.
Lack of any support is precisely why I see all these cool new mobile controllers and scoff. Then I turn my back to it, so the controller doesn't see the glimmer of a tear in my eye. I absolutely love the idea of controller support in more games, as I love using a controller for gaming. Not having my fingers get in the way when playing some games is a great experience, and I wish I could enjoy it more. However, the world just doesn't want to see that happen, and it greatly upsets me. It's amazing potential wasted.
Here is where the Archos GamePad wowed me. Check out this video:
I'm not quite sure what strikes me more: the obviousness of the solution, the absolute simplicity, or how well implemented it is. I really wish I had thought of it. All you do to program buttons is place little markers onto the on screen buttons and press the button you want to map it to. Simple, elegant, and personalized. While it isn't quite perfect (the game isn't frozen while you do it, pausing it wouldn't be effective but freezing it in place would), it's still great.
The GamePad itself isn't all that amazing spec wise, but that's the point. It's supposed to be a cheap gaming device (cheaper than a PS Vita, actually), and it looks to excel at that. It also doubles as a nice Jelly Bean tablet. If it works as advertised, it'll be a great device for a low price.
However, I'm afraid the GamePad will not succeed. Archos isn't a hugely popular company, and their advertising is nonexistent to a consumer. Also, a lot of people who don't know much about processors will look at the specs and pass it up. "Only dual core? It sucks!" No, not with a Mali-400 GPU. It's the same GPU inside of the Galaxy Note II, and with a 1.6 GHz clock, it should kick ass even with two cores. But in the end, the chances for the GamePad to be truly successful are slim.
But let us look at the Android enthusiast community. We know that this could be a good product, and I'm sure many sales will be from us. However, what if we want a higher end option? What if we want to use what we already have? So many people have Nexus 7′s, complete with a quad core Tegra 3 processor, that lack controller support. This is where Archos can truly make a name for itself, and many even a bit of money at the same time.
They can modify this software and release it in two ways. The first way is to release the code and method of implementing this feature to the public, for ROM chefs to integrate into their software. Imagine ROMs for existing devices freely and easily integrating this feature. Imagine your Nexus 7 having this feature and working with both Bluetooth and USB controllers. It sounds like absolute bliss. The Archos name would really spread. Unfortunately, this would require modding your device, so it won't be for everyone. Most of the time, you'd need to modify your device to add controller support anyway, but it still isn't perfect.
A second way would be retool the software into an app. Throw it onto the Play Store and let people use it. Even make it a paid app; if it works well, we'd be glad to pay for it. It would be more inefficient, as you couldn't have an icon in the system bar. Of course, I'm not sure if this is possible, but it's an idea. It would require some manufacturer support to make sure devices support controllers natively, and it'll take time, but it can probably be done.
Archos can do a lot to succeed, and appealing to the developer community would probably be their best bet. But I'd just love to see the actual GamePad succeed. If it works well, it'll truly be a revolution for mobile gaming in my opinion. But I'd love to hear what you guys think. Will this revolutionize mobile gaming? Or is it irrelevant? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Get Ahead Of Competitors By Knowing Your Website RankingPublic evis posted on Thu, 05 Jan 2012 by Andrew Isiah
In the world of the internet, when your website is placed on a search engine's results page could make all the difference. If you are competing with rivals to attract customers to a store, this can be even truer. It is an well-known reality that, when searching for a product employing keywords, not many audience could venture further the first page, thus being ranked as one of the top 10 sites can be important to make sure that you simply get the majority of the traffic which is searching for your product or service.
Despite the truth that the search engine's ranking of site pages may confirm whether you have a successful website or not, several site owners never pay attention to the current most important aspect of their careers.
In order to improve your website's ranking, you must first find out specifically how the search engine 'bots' behave while they are ranking a website. Knowing how their behavior affects your chances of reaching the top 10 positions could assist you to make the modifications which will improve your website's standings. Knowing the principles which the 'bots' employ while ranking a website permits you to sharpen up your SEO and tighten the text of your websites in order to enhance the 'bots' experience of your site.
Firstly, the 'bots' could be sent to your webpage because of some keywords triggering a search. The bots then mark the websites according to the value of the keywords that they find. This worth relates not just to the number of relevant phrases on the webpage, but also to the surrounding text, accompanying pictures and so on. A website with poor text and an over-emphasis on keywords, for example, might be ranked lower than one which contains a smaller number of keywords, however these are placed with appropriate and interesting text. The search engine's ranking of keywords is therefore reliant upon more than just the important phrases themselves.
Websites compete with each other over such keywords and phrases, so the website that has the best points in the page ranking system will enjoy larger visibility. Clearly, getting a lot from the search engine's ranking of site pages may be the goal of any website owner. In order to accomplish this, you need to have an idea of how to select the proper keywords. One way to do this is to have an auditor check the ranking of a website, and then report on how effective the keywords and phrases are.

Born at Balingen in Wurtemberg, about 1467; died at Freiburg, Baden, 9 May, 1525. In 1487 he became a student at the University of Freiburg, Baden, and received the degree of magister in 1489. He then entered the Carthusian Order. During the years 1500-1502 he was prior at Klein-Basel; from 1503 to shortly before his death he was prior at Freiburg. He was also visitor for the Rhenish province of his order. As visitor he made very exertion to combat Lutheranism. He was a friend of the most celebrated Humanists of the era, e.g., Erasmus, Wimpfeling, Beatus, Rheananus, Udalricus Zasius, and the celebrated preacher, Geiler of Kaisersberg . John Eck was his pupil. Reisch had a great reputation for adaptability and was regarded as an "oracle". He was one of the most conspicuous, if not the most conspicuous, of the intellectual men at the commencement of the new era who sought to prepare encyclopedia works of knowledge. His chief work is the "Margarita philosophica", which first appeared at Freiburg in 1503 (not as early as 1496). It is an encyclopedia of knowledge intended as a text-book for youthful students, and contains in twelve books Latin grammar, dialectics, rhetoric, arithmetic, music, geometry, astronomy, physics, natural history, physiology, psychology, and ethics. The usefulness of the work was increased by numerous woodcuts and a full index. The form is catechetical : the scholar questions and the teacher answers. The book was very popular on account of its comparative brevity and popular form, and was for a long time a customary textbook of the higher schools. Alexander von Humboldt said of it that it had "for a half-century, aided in a remarkable manner the spread of knowledge ". In 1510 Reisch also published the statutes and privileges of the Carthusian Order, and assisted Erasmus of Rotterdam in his edition of Jerome.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

text: This paper is concerned with the validity of educational tests when they are e-ployed as critical measures of educational outcomes within a dynamic system. The problem of validity arises if an educational system adapts itself to the characteristics of the outcome measures. The concept of systemically valid tests is introduced; these are tests that induce curricular and instructional changes in education systems (and learning strategy changes in students) that foster the development of the cognitive traits that the tests are designed to measure. General characteristics are analyzed that contribute to or detract from a testing system€s systemic validity, such as the use of direct rather than indirect assessment. These characteristics are then applied to the development of a set of design principles for creating testing systems that are systemically valid. Finally, the proposed principles are illustrated, by applying them to the design of a student assessment system. This design example addresses not only specifications for the tests, but also the means of teaching the process of assessment to users of the system.

DETROIT – One day after breathing some fresh air, albeit cold air, during a practice at Comerica Park, the Detroit Red Wings can breathe a little easier.
They relieved much pressure Thursday by beating the Calgary Flames 3-2 on Daniel Alfredsson's second goal of the game, at 1:03 of overtime.
The much-needed win snapped the Red Wings' five-game losing streak at Joe Louis Arena and ended their six-game slide overall (0-4-2).
And goaltender Jonas Gustavsson didn't dismiss the notion that breaking up the monotony the day before with an outdoor skate helped in some strange sort of way.
"I think when you're on a losing streak, it's always good to do something different so everything's not going the same all the time," Gustavsson said. "If you do something else, it maybe gives the group some energy. I think it helped us."
The Red Wings had lost nine consecutive games this season that had gone beyond regulation – six in shootouts and three in overtime.
Alfredsson's winner was a one-time blast on a pass from Pavel Datsyuk during a power play.
"Pavel's play to draw the penalty toward the end of regulation turned out to be huge," Alfredsson said. "We rolled around, we found a one-timer from Pav on the right side, then we got the puck back and got them a little spread out and he timed it perfectly for me. I had an open net pretty much."
In addition to opening the scoring 26 seconds into the game, Alfredsson also recorded his 700th career assist, on Joakim Andersson's goal at 11:38 of the second period.
Datsyuk racked up three assists in his best game since returning from a concussion. Niklas Kronwall had two assists.
The Flames (13-16-6) entered the game tied for 26th overall in the NHL. The injured-riddled Red Wings (16-12-9) desperately needed this win, and their relief was evident.
"That's just how it felt after the game, a relief," Andersson said. "Finally we got a win. Hopefully we can get some confidence back and some energy, so we can start playing well again."
The Red Wings outshot Calgary 38-22. Flames goaltender Kari Ramo kept his team in the game.
"We're not playing our best and I don't think we did tonight, either, but we had the effort," Alfredsson said. "We've got to build from that. It's great to see everybody working hard.
"There's a lot of pressure on us and it takes more energy than normal. I think a win here tonight will make practice tomorrow a lot easier."
Gustavsson made 20 saves to end a personal four-game winless skid (0-3-1) and beat Calgary for the first time in his career (1-4-0).
"I thought we worked real hard," coach Mike Babcock said. "I thought we had structure and competed, gave ourselves a chance. It's not easy to win, especially when you haven't done a whole lot of winning and you're playing against yourself a little bit as well, mentally.
"I thought we stuck with the process. The game started the same way the last game started; we scored and they scored right away. Instead of folding we kept playing."
The teams traded goals in each of the first two periods.
Alfredsson scored off a big rebound of a shot from Datsyuk on their first shift. Mikael Backlund evened it at 5:11 of the first period, racing in to knock home a rebound off the back boards after a shot by Mike Cammalleri.
The Red Wings took a 2-1 lead on Andersson's fifth goal of the season. He was stationed in front of the net when Alfredsson's shot from the point deflected in off of his skate.
Mark Giordano scored during a power-play at 15:53 to tie it.
The boisterous crowd struck up a chant of "Let's go Red Wings!" late in the third period.
"The fans deserve it," Kronwall said. "Fans were outstanding tonight and I think when we scored the last one I don't know if I heard it louder in this building in quite a while.
"They've been sticking with us. Things haven't always gone our way but we feel like we have them behind us. They're very loyal, and I think the least we can do is applaud them for coming here and still supporting us."

County Jail
Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Facility is a low security correctional facility. Inmates are housed together in dormitories or cubicle housing. They are provided with access to programs and training that will help to rehabilitate them so that they're ready to get their lives back on track when released. As a low security facility, Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Facility has a lower staff to inmate ratio than medium or high security jails.
Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Facility is a County Jail used by the jurisdictions of Webster Parish to confine inmates for short periods while awaiting trial or processing. As inmates are staying for only a short period, it has fewer amenities than a jail or prison. Inmates do, however, have access to bathroom facilities and are provided with meals during their stay. Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Facility may also have a common area in which inmates can socialize. Use the inmate search feature to find an inmate here.

NORTHAMPTON - The City Council gave the go-ahead Thursday to buy the Bean Farm, the first step in what could be a bigger land acquisition that would satisfy ballplayers, gardeners, farmers and conservationists.
By unanimously endorsing a resolution to buy the 45-acre Bean property, the council satisfied the conditions of a purchase and sales agreement set to expire Feb. 5. Located between Spring Street and the Mill River, the farm has become the rope in a tug-of-war between recreation advocates who are eyeing it for playing fields and those who want to keep its prime topsoil in agriculture.
A task force has recommended that the city buy the land to keep it from being developed but has yet to speak out on whether or how it should be divided between farming and recreation. Supporters of each use have spoken out passionately at a number of public forums.
On Thursday, Planning Director Wayne M. Feiden told the council of another development that could solve the dilemma. According to Feiden, the city has had on-and-off discussions with Wayne Goulet, who owns the adjacent 140-acre Allard farm, about buying his property. In addition to being several times larger than the Bean farm, the Allard property has better access from Meadow and Spring streets and is flatter and more conducive to playing fields.
The city does not need to own the entire Allard farm, Feiden said, but would like to protect the land from development. The Trust for Public Land, a national land-preservation group, has taken the lead in the transaction and obtained an option from Goulet to buy the 140 acres.
Feiden said the city's goals are to buy 24 acres for playing fields, protect the flood plain forest along the Mill River, create a community garden on the Allard property and preserve the farmland. He estimated the cost of accomplishing that at 40 percent of the entire deal.
With both the Bean and Allard properties in hand, the city could create new playing fields with parking and easy access and preserve most of the rest of the land for farming. Feiden estimated the city's cost for both transactions at $990,000.
The Community Preservation Committee has agreed to consider a request for funding for purchase of the land. However, Feiden said, the committee has indicated it is not inclined to fund the full amount. The city would seek grants and other funding sources to make up the remainder of the cost.

I posted this on my twitter last night, but I wanted to post this here, too, because… narcissism? Uh… I think they're hilarious, and I'm feeling less self-conscious about my appearance, lately. I enjoy looking like a cartoon, I guess!

Yes you can tour a home when it is in contract. Deals do sometimes fall apart. If this is a bank owned home-there are no home sale contingencies allowed. If it is a traditional listing (not REO) and is contingent on the sale of a home it will be disclosed in the MLS. Your agent should be able to find out this info. There is normally an escape clause for the seller if another buyer with no sale contingency makes an offer.
Ask your agent to see the property-I am sure the seller will oblige. If you like it, you can put in a back up offer so you can pick up where the buyer left off if they decide to terminate the agreement.
A good number of foreclosures come back onto the market after inspections. Buyers get scared when they see all the work that needs to be done. Homes do not hold up well in our area when left vacant for long periods of time. (moldy wet basements due to no electric to the sump pump, flooded HVAC systems, pipes burst, roof leaks that were never repaired, etc.)
The listing agent is bound to present ALL offers until the property is transferred UNLESS THE SELLER HAS INSTRUCTED THE LISTING AGENT that they do not wish to accept any secobdary offers.
The reality is that pending deals do not ALL CLose.
By the same token, you do not want to tie yourself up in a pending deal that could tie you up or cost you money!

if you really are wanting this house than ask your agent to call the other agent to see if you can put in a backup offer. Just incase the buyer backs out of the deal..Have your agent stay in touch to see how the inspection goes. Many listing fall out of contract and they go back on the market. I hope that helps you
Thank's for the question. Yes, if the property is in contingent status and the lister would like to show for seconds your agent may do so. Your agent really should call the listing agent and see how strong the offer is before taking you out to view the home. Good luck and if I may be of any assistance, contact me or view my website .
Your agent should be able to help you with this. One thing about real estate is that, all too often, things really aren't what they seem to be.
Agents show property all the time that have contracts in place, usually until all contingencies have been satisfied. The determining factor is the "seller" and how they wish to proceed.
Good luck
Exactly for the reason you stated, Yes. A deal is never done until the day of closing!

Robin Scholetzky appraised the chicken coop in a Northeast Portland yard Saturday morning as if she were an architecture critic, admiring the clean lines and simple design.
"This has a nice modern look to it," Scholetzky said, imagining the coop she wants for herself someday. "It doesn't have to look like a Victorian or a farmhouse. It doesn't have to be cartoony."
"More like Frank Lloyd Wright than a Victorian," added Matthew Lachmann, her husband.
Scholetzky and Lachmann were among hundreds of chicken aficionados who zigzagged through Portland during the 2010 Tour de Coops, which featured 25 henhouses and a wide range of designs.
The attractions included a coop that looked like a barn, one that was built as a garage addition and another that resembled a gazebo.
One coop included brass door handles from a 1920s English-style cottage and nesting boxes made from tongue-in-groove cedar.
Portland Mayor Sam Adams showed off his coop, which houses his three chickens, all of whom are named Alma. (Long story.)
"There's such a wide variety of coops, from very simple to extravagant," said Rodney Bender of nonprofit Growing Gardens, which coordinates the event and promotes sustainable food production for low-income families.
The Tour de Coops is 7 years old and drew a crowd that Bender estimated at more than 1,000 people in 2009. He expected a similar showing Saturday.
In addition to Scholetzky and Lachmann, several dozen people streamed into Jason King's backyard in the first hour of the event, eyeing the coop that he and his fiancée designed and built themselves.
They both admire modern architecture and they wanted something that was environmentally correct. So their coop includes an eco-roof covered in plants. There's also cedar siding and a run made of chicken wire.
The coop and the run cost roughly $1,000, King said, and took nearly three months to build.
"It was more time-consuming than I was anticipating," said SuSu Hunniecutt, King's fiancée.
"The chickens don't really have an opinion about the coop. It was more for us, how detailed we wanted to be about it."
Jon Bake is at the other end of the spectrum. He owns Bake's Binster, a company that makes coops, composters and rabbit cages.
"Our coops are designed to just kind of disappear in the backyard, rather than make a statement," Bake said. "We don't design something that looks like a church or a barn. It's just practical space."
A basic coop costs $795 and houses three or four chickens, Bake said. A bigger coop, for six to 10 birds, goes for $1,400.
Bake said his customers are most concerned about predators, so he uses welded steel wire instead of chicken wire and makes sure the construction is sturdy.
Bake, however, comes from a farming background and he's never worried much about predators.
"As farmers, if something eats a chicken, who cares," he said. "These urban people, if something kills a chicken it's like losing a kid."

As it could be seen in a too short segment on Smackdown, Kane and The Undertaker have a long storied saga together. From enemies to allies, they went through many chronicles.
But a one-minute summary with some footage is far from enough to recapitulate one of the most intense relationships ever in WWE.
That's why I invite all of you to discover or to remember the origins of the current feud between the Brothers Of Destruction that will reach a peak at Night Of Champions.
Will it be the end of the rivalry or just another chapter? No one knows, but after the recent turns of events, with The Undertaker apparently weaker than ever, it will be a great match to watch.
The Phenom seems less phenomenal than he is used to be, and, for once, Kane is not seen as the underdog. In fact the Big Red Monster is unstoppable since he won the World Heavyweight Championship in July.
So, let's see how it all began and the long chaotic road they traveled together.
