A note from Michael:
My cat was so proud of her achievement that I didn't have the heart to undo her work immediately. I'll leave CatBlock in place for a few days, during which you can enable or disable it on the AdBlock toolbar button → Options page. Dancing photo credits here.
By the way: I quit my job to work on AdBlock for Chrome and Safari full time (when the cat hasn't locked me out of the laptop). Every cat you see in CatBlock is an ad that I've been silently blocking for you. So I agree with her that you should pay some money to help me keep AdBlock going! I promise I'll send you a thank you note (or more, depending on how much you pay.)
And also, you should share this using the buttons below, and follow me. 98% of Chrome & Safari users don't have AdBlock installed, so you'll be a hero for spreading the word!
Wow, um, there's a lot more demand than I expected for CatBlock to not disappear. So how about this: vote with your dollars. I've made a standalone version of CatBlock, and will send it to you if you will support AdBlock with a monthly payment. Long live CatBlock!

Ok So I am so angry and need to vent. My husbands best friend and his wife just had a baby 2 weeks ago. She wanted to try and breastfeed but when I talked to her before baby she was leaning towards only pumping because she didn't want baby to be "dependent" on her. I tried to push it aside thinking she would change when baby came. She tried to latch him at birth but since neither knew what they were doing she quickly gave up. She didn't even have a motivation to attempt to nurse her baby that first 24 hours. She actually seemed happy because now she could go with her original plan and make sure DH would get lack of sleep to feed baby. I felt so sad for the baby and offered my help. I breastfed my daughter for well over a year and my son is 14 months and we are still breastfeeding and bed sharing. Heck I even baby wear him still!
Ok, anyway....so baby ofcourse dropped weight, turned jaundice and spiked a fever before 48 hours old! Oh did I mention they also cicumcised him before 24 hours old! I won't even get into that because I don't believe it should be done anyway. So at home she pumps every 3 hours and after he was 6 days old asked me if she could stretch that. I said..."What he's on a schedule! Feed him on demand." I also suggested that she could still get him reassociated with the breast. She wasn't interested. He gets formula and breastmilk bottles (so sad). Now he's 2 weeks old and since he started cluster feeds they have now moved to having him CIO! Stating that he can't possibly be hungry cause he was just fed and hour or 2 ago and we just held him for a little bit.
I fear for this poor baby. So sorry he was delt such selfish parents to think he is manipulating them at 2 weeks old! What is wrong with people. I tried to be her friend for the last few years but now I am definately not trying. Her and her husband have parenting styles that anger me. I don't even want to know what is happening because I'll just be angry all the time.

German Exchange Student Making the Most of Semester at BSC
CreatedThursday, February 02 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—Like many college students, Andreas Panzer occasionally thinks about life in his hometown. However, unlike most college students, Andreas would have to travel more than 4000 miles to visit his home. He is a freshman at Bluefield State College, participating in the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) for Young Professionals, a year-long, federally-funded student exchange program where selected American students can study and work in Germany, and selected German students study and work in the United States. The CBYX program places students with participating American colleges that offer academic programs that match their academic interests.
The 22-year old from Bamberg, Germany in the northern part of Bavaria applied for admission into the CBYX program after completing 10 years in Germany's public education system, then serving a three year apprenticeship. He also completed a paid internship at a German newspaper, working on systems integration to help expand the paper's subscriber base through a multimedia approach.
At Bluefield State College, Andreas is majoring in computer science. His adjustment to the United States has been facilitated by the focus in German public education upon learning English. "I studied English for six years," he said. At BSC, he's taking courses in computer programming, languages, and networking, while also working in the College's Instructional Technology Center.
During his time in the region, Andreas is staying with Bluefield attorney John Feuchtenberger. "He is a wonderful host—home-cooked meals nearly every night," Andreas added.
"I talk to my family on Skype every two-to-three weeks," he commented. "I tell them that Bluefield has beautiful mountains, much like the mountains in Bavaria." Upon completion of his year in the CBYX program, he plans to return to Germany to continue his studies and work.
The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals program is now in 28th year. It is endorsed by US Congress and German parliament, and has helped 3500+ young professionals (including several Bluefield State College students) to trade countries with counterparts—living, studying and working for a year in another nation.

TODAY's Natalie Morales takes a look at how Internet users across the globe put their own spin on London mayor Boris Johnson's zip-line snag near the Olympic Park.
Updated at 8:12 a.m. ET: It took a zip line to stop Boris Johnson laughing, even then it was only for a few minutes.
If every Olympic Games has a breakout star, London's mayor is surely in contention along with Ryan Lochte and Ye Shiwen.
Johnson might not be an athlete but he would surely get gold for grabbing attention. From mocking Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in front of a crowd of thousands to risqué comments about volleyball players, Boris Johnson has awarded himself a starring role during London 2012. While some see a larger-than-life personality, perfectly representing his city, others believe it is another big step in a marathon effort to become British prime minister.
That might sound ridiculous, but consider how far Boris has already come (Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson only needs one name). He was a journalist who found wider attention appearing on satirical quiz shows. His persona is one of an upper-class buffoon, with a messy mop of blond hair and a ready response of 'oh cripes' to tricky situations. But his shambolic appearance masks a shrewd and focused politician. It's a combination that has allowed him to defy the political odds: winning two mayoral elections as a Conservative in a left-leaning city at a time when his party is unpopular.
PhotoBlog: Boris Johnson, London mayor, stuck on a zip line
Ask a London cabbie what he thinks and here's the response: "He's my type of politician,"said Michael Murphy. "He's a big personality and that's what you need in a city like London."
Boris doesn't scare the voters -- he entertains them. On the Late Show he laughed along as David Letterman mocked his hair and then said his own bike-hire scheme was "Communist." As the Olympics began he described female beach volleyball players as glistening "like wet otters." It's far from his worst gaffe and yet they never seem to do him any harm. In fact, many believe they add to the mayor's eccentric, "real" persona.
Watch World News videos on NBCNews.com
Boris Johnson's biographer describes it as the ability to relate to the man in the pub.
London mayor Boris Johnson attempts to make a dramatic entrance at an Olympic party—but gets stranded on a zip wire instead. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
"He hears the central ridiculousness of political life and can see the comic side," Andrew Gimson told NBC News. "People love that because most people are skeptical about politicians."
Johnson's fellow Conservatives are taking notice. A recent poll showednearly a third would like him to take control of the party if Prime Minister David Cameron were to step aside.
The perception of rivalry between the two is exacerbated by a shared history. Both went to the elite boarding school Eton College before studying at Oxford University.
Teen held after Olympian gets Twitter death threat
"He considers himself to be a great deal more able than David Cameron," Gimson said. "He considers Cameron his warm-up act."
It could be quite a while before Johnson takes the main stage.

He would first need to be elected to Parliament, then elected leader of the Conservative Party. Yet it is something being taken seriously in London.
In the Daily Telegraph newspaper, Benedict Brogan sums it up: "Westminster is divided between those who now believe him to be unstoppable, and those who can't stop laughing at the idea that he is being taken seriously as an alternative Prime Minister."
There was plenty of laughter as the mayor was rescued from the zip line on Wednesday, cheerfully waving union flags as he was pulled along. It's an indicator of how powerful Brand Boris has become, that this seemed neither strange, nor likely to detract from his growing popularity.

text: My son will be 2 next week and is very physical when he nurses. Climbing all over me and pinching and rolling the opposite breast in his fingers while he nurses. Should I just stop the sessions when he does this? We're trying to cut back his constant nursing during the day and it's going pretty well so far, but my husband would like him in his own bed at night. Any suggestions on how to start convincing him to sleep in his own room?

Logging truck, car collide; nearby RVs trashed
EAST MONTPELIER Rescue crews responded Wednesday evening to a dramatic accident in which a logging truck hit a car and smashed into several campers on Route 2 in East Montpelier. The accident caused several hundred thousand dollars in damage at Vermont Country Campers.
Crews responded to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. East Montpelier Fire Chief Ty Rolland said a man driving a white Cadillac cut in front of the logging truck and the truck hit the car. The truck then dragged the car into several campers.
Rolland said the driver of the car had been transported to Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, but was unable to comment on the medical status of the truck driver or the truck driver, who was not transported. Signage on the side of the truck indicated that it belonged to Boivins Transport of Milan, N.H.
The entire right side of the Cadillac was demolished and sitting underneath the trailer of the truck, which drove down into a ditch off of Route 2 and into the campers. Anyone sitting in the cars passenger seat would have been crushed.
Doug Duke, sales manager at the RV dealership, said he was locking up the campers for the night right in the area where the truck went off the road. Had he been there a few seconds later, he said, he would have been hit by the truck as it smashed into the campers.
He said he heard the trucks brakes lock up and then a series of banging sounds as the truck hit the campers.
Duke said six of the dealerships campers were damaged in the crash, along with one camper belonging to a customer. He estimated the damage to the campers at between $400,000 to $500,000. He said each of the dealerships campers weighed around 12,000 pounds and all of them had been pushed several feet in the accident.
Duke said the driver of the Cadillac appeared to be in his late 30s to early 40s and didnt have much blood on him. He said the airbags in the car apparently did not deploy and the driver wasnt wearing his seat belt.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

My baby is 8mos old and he's happily on his way with BLS and we've enjoyed a challenging but worth it relationship nursing and pumping while I work.
He doesn't want to nurse at lunch anymore, and is starting to get distressed when I come to visit to nurse, or just visit in general and leave so I will be replacing that with a bottle. He also won't nurse on dropoff/pickup and we have an hour drive so that's another bottle or two I'm replacing.
So, this is turning into a only nurse in the evening and nighttime relationship during the week. When I have time off and we are together he loves nursing and nurses lots.
I just worry, we're going about 12-14 hours without nursing, and I pump at work but.. seems like the beginning of the end?
I also worry because he doesn't drink as much pumped as he does when he nurses, but I try to remind myself that my pumped milk has tons of the hindmilk in it so it's probably not necessary. He loves eating solids and he's gaining/growing well and happy minus some teething.
I guess I just mostly want to be nursing not giving so many bottles, but he's chosen bottles because he just can't focus on nursing at daycare. I guess I just feel like this is leading to weaning or full time bottles, and I don't want that.

The one-time performance of the world-famous children's folk tale, presented by the Coastal Bend College Foundation, will begin at 7 p.m. The Corpus Christi Ballet's appearance in Beeville graciously has been underwritten by the Joe Barnhart Foundation.
"Cinderella" will be brought to vibrant life through Sergei Prokofiev's evocative score, beautiful costumes and scenery, and a colorful cast of more than 60 dancers and actors. The stepsisters' comic antics, some "fairy dust," a handsome prince and an ill-treated servant girl who finds true love combine in a visually stunning presentation that will charm children and adults alike.
The lead role of Cinderella will be danced by Mia Carvalho, and her prince will be Nathan Reagan. The wicked stepmother will be played by Xavier Barrera.
Tickets will go on sale Monday, March 18, and are priced at $10 each for adults and $7 for children 12 years and under.
For tickets, contact the CBC Foundation at 354-2348 or email email@example.com. But don't delay in ordering tickets, or you may discover to your great dismay that the clock has struck midnight.

A recent voyage by the National Geographic Explorer ship to the Arctic captured a female polar bear fighting a male for food. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports on the trip, which allowed experts to evaluate the environmental changes in the Arctic.
Wildlife biologist Ian Bullock is a seasoned visitor to the Arctic, but even he was surprised by what he saw last month: a thin female polar bear, shadowed by her cub, trying to challenge a much bigger, stronger male for food.
It wasn't much of a challenge, but it showed just how desperate she was, Bullock told NBC News on returning from his 10th straight summer cruise to the Arctic.
That desperation, he feels, stems from the fact that the Arctic's summer sea ice — which polar bears using as floating stations from which to hunt seals — has been shrinking over the last few decades due to a warming Arctic, forcing polar bears into smaller areas and more intense competition.
"She was the thinnest female with cub I have ever seen," he said. "She had a single cub which implies she has already lost one other cub this year.
"If she cannot feed, she cannot suckle her cub; with a hungry cub it is even harder for her to hunt effectively, so from what I saw her last cub is at risk and ultimately so is she," he added. "This is why she was challenging a big male with food. She was hungry enough to take a big risk."
In a video filmed during the National Geographic Explorer cruise to the Arctic's Svalbard region, Bullock said it looks like that reduced ice is "really putting the bears under stress."
"The worst thing is when we've encountered bears, we've found them really packed in tight, in the last little areas of fast ice attached to land, or the last little patches of pack ice at sea," said Bullock, who served as a guide on the cruise ship. "And there they've been in competition."
Polar bears are listed as "vulnerable" and in decline by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, which estimates the population at no more than 25,000 across the Arctic.
The U.S., which has two Arctic regions where polar bears live, in 2008 listed its population as "threatened".
Last year, researchers cited three incidents where polar bears might even have resorted to cannibalism due to warming and reduced sea ice.
The diminished sea ice also got the attention of the National Geographic Explorer's skipper.
Captain Leif Skog told NBC News that he had e-mailed his boss, Sven Lindblad of Lindblad Expeditions, to describe "a shocking escalation of the reduction of sea ice."
One data graph he monitored daily, showing the total volume of Arctic sea ice, "could be called the death spiral of the Arctic sea ice," he said in his e-mail to Lindblad.
Because of the reduced sea ice, he added, the cruise was able to visit northeast Greenland "a month earlier than what was normal in the past."
"We expected to face some sea ice but everything was gone in the fjords upon our arrival," he added. "The sea water temperature in the fjords was also unbelievably high."
Another expert on the cruise called the outside temperature "surprisingly warm."
"It was T-shirt weather," Paul Berkman, an environmental science professor at the University of California Santa Barbara, told NBC News. Berkman noted two other major Arctic developments over the summer:
- The amount of summer sea ice reached its lowest point in 30 years of records.
- Nearly the entire surface of Greenland's ice cap saw some melting in July, a phenomenon not seen in 150 years of ice records.
Berkman said the polar regions, and the Arctic in particular, show an "amplified response" to a warming climate ahead of other parts of the globe.
That response is twofold, he adds: Arctic temperatures have warmed 3-6 degrees F above the global average, and reduced ice removes huge amounts of reflective white from the sea and reveals a dark sea that absorbs heat.
The sea ice is like "a giant mirror on Earth's surface" he said. "Without summer Arctic sea ice, more heat from the sun is absorbed into the Earth system, which is a feedback that further accelerates warming of our climate."

Woody didn't exactly get a fair shake in NY, but business is result oriented and he didn't get the required results. Had the Knicks made the playoffs we would very likely be on the verge of beating the Pacers. (Never believed in the Pacers, George is a Scottie Pippen at best.)
Hopefully Knicks fans wont turn on the next coach two seasons from now. It is an embarrassment how often we change coaches.

Blake Lively Sizzles In A Red Studded Mini Dress At Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert
Last night millions of people tuned in to the concert benefitting the Robin Hood Relief Fund to aid the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Performers such as the Rolling Stones, Alicia Keys, Bruce Springsteen and Kanye West took part of the nearly six hour event at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Actress Blake Lively made an appearance, showing off her long legs in a red studded mini dress and beige heeled booties. Katie Holmes, Susan Sarandon, Olivia Wilde, Chelsea Clinton, Jeremy Piven, Martha Stewart and many other celebrities also came out to support those who were hit hard by the superstorm.
Comedian Billy Crystal was the first celebrity of the evening to share his story of his hard-hit hometown of Long Beach in Long Island. He told the crowd, "It was the perfect place to grow up - the motto of our town is, 'I have Long Beach sand in my shoes' and now that sand is still in their kitchens, and their living rooms, and still in their streets. The ocean I used to dream about became their worst nightmare.
"No one could have anticipated the level of devastation Sandy would bring, or just how many lives it would affect. Over 100 people died, over 600,000 homes and 500,000 businesses were destroyed or damaged, entire neighborhoods were wiped out...
"(But) not only did Sandy not put us down, we stayed on our feet and tonight, with your help, we will emerge stronger and better than before."

Moy expressed frustration that the county hasn't taken any real action in regard to the issue for more than a year after the situation was brought to the attention of local officials.
It was about 16 months ago when Commissioners Court decided to appoint a litter control committee to make recommendations regarding what to the county can do to alleviate local litter problems.
One of the ideas county officials agreed to take on was the installation of video cameras at locations where the worst illegal littering is happening as a way to enforce laws that prohibit illegal dumping of trash on local roads.
Since then, only two people were appointed to the committee by the court, although they agreed to appoint a committee member from each of the four precincts.
Since the committee was never fully appointed, the effort stalled out before the committee could meet to work on the issue or bring recommendations to the court.
Moy said she asked county officials to put the item back on the agenda since then, but the item has not yet been placed on the agenda for continuing action.
"I am very passionate about what I am doing," Moy said, "and I don't mind waiting."
Moy said the issue with plastic trash bags was discussed at a community meeting recently. Some communities have banned the use of such bags and she said it may be time to give the idea of a ban against such bags consideration as a possible remedy.
The progress, however, is moving too slow, according to Moy.
"I do not like my name being associated with the inactivity," Moy said. "I have offered to serve."
Karnes County Judge Barbara Shaw told The Karnes Countywide on July 22 that she plans to put the issue of local litter issues back on the agenda for possible action in the near future.
One effort that has been making progress is a project that has joined forces between three oil and gas companied to remove trash from local roads.
Glynis Strause, community relations advisor for ConocoPhillips, said that ConocoPhillips, Pioneer and Talisman Energy are contributing financially to a three-person crew who spend 40 hours every week with a truck and trailer out on Karnes County roads removing trash from the sides of the roads.
Traffic and trash are two of the downsides of the recent oil boom, Strauss explained, so the three companies are making an effort to make the county look nicer.
"Trash is going to happen when you have convenience stores with plastic bags and wrappers," Strause said. "And then you have people with pickups throwing stuff in the back."
Strauss said the companies hired The Wood Group in Kenedy to hire a full time crew and truck to do the work.
Since April of this year, the crew has removed more than 20,000 pounds of trash from the sides of Karnes County roads.
Those involved in the project are hoping to do whatever is possible to raise awareness about the litter issues, so that the public can help keep trash off the roads by taking more care with how trash is disposed.
Strauss said the project is considering creating a new logo and outreach effort to help clean up local roads as one way to get the public involved. They are also looking at possible ways to encourage creative ways of recycling waste products that are produced in conjunction with all the activity in the oil and gas industry.
There has been a very positive response to the trash crew's efforts, Strauss said. Residents have taken the time to stop the crew and say "thanks" while they are working to clean up local roads.
"We have gotten some really cool thank you notes," Strauss said.

Area phone services interrupted
PARKERSBURG – Some area telephone lines went dead around 6 p.m. Friday in Parkersburg and surrounding counties, and officials did not know the root of the cause Friday night.
Dispatchers with the Wood County 911 Center said emergency officials were able to communicate with local emergency personnel by radio communications. The 911 center said the interruption may not allow some people to gain access to the communications center.
Most emergency calls were going through. However, emergency personnel said tones were sent to all area fire departments and anyone needing to get through to 911 that was unable to could call their local fire department and they could use the radio to communicate the issue to dispatchers.
Parkersburg area residents were also told they could go to their local police or fire stations to report emergencies.
Communication officials with Sprint said the outages were due to upgrading service towers. A customer service representative said the interruption was to allow for better performance of 4G towers in the immediate area.
The upgrades are going on nationwide, according to reports, and do not appear to be widespread. Doddridge and Ritchie County 911 Center was experiencing phone problems.
Officials with Suddenlink Communications said the phone interruption was discovered Friday in some areas of Parkersburg, Ravenswood and Belmont.
Williamstown and Vienna telephone customers using Frontier were experiencing problems too, officials said.
Dan Page, with the Frontier media relations team, said people using phone landlines could make long distance calls but could not call out locally.
Page said local lines affected included numbers beginning with 420, 422, 424, 428, 480, 485 and 893.
Page said the problem is described as an isolated incident and can have a variety of explanations. He said Frontier personnel were working to discover the problem and had several leads Friday night.
"There could be a cut in one area and service is affected in another area, within our network," Page said Friday night.
A fiber cut in Kanawha County could be another explanation. Page said repairs were being done and it could have disrupted service in Wood and surrounding counties.
"We're looking for potential circuit problems and potential effects of a fiber cut in Kanawha County," he said late Friday night.

The state of Hawaii has reached an $82 million settlement with pharmaceutical companies accused of over-charging the state's Medicaid program.
In 2006, the state sued more than 40 pharmaceutical companies in an effort to stem soaring drug prices. The state accused the companies of fraudulently submitting inflated average wholesale prices to Hawaii.
The case dragged on for four years before the drug companies settled.
"This scheme went on for more than a decade, but the feds didn't see it. We didn't see it," Hawaii Attorney General Mark Bennett said. "We did go after it vigorously and I think the recovery is a deterrent to this happening again."
Settlement Breakdown: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. $28 million AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, AstraZeneca LP, GlaxoSmithKline LLC, and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. will collectively pay $10 million Pfizer Inc. and Pharmacia Corp. will collectively pay $8.2 million Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc., Barr Laboratories Inc., Ivax Corp., Ivax Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Sicor Pharmaceuticals Inc. will collectively pay $6.5 million Johnson & Johnson, Janssen Pharmaceutical Products, Ortho Biotech Products, McNeil-PPC Inc. and Centocor Inc. will collectively pay $5.2 million
More than $12 million will go toward attorneys' fees.
A substantial portion will of the settlement will also go to the federal government, which paid a large amount of the drug costs. It is unclear how much the state will receive, but any settlement money will go into the state's general fund.

The summer knows…
Hearing that Jeff Bank was celebrating its 100th birthday (Dharma has an account), we stopped by to congratulate the staff and wish them well, before heading out to yet another volunteer committee meeting, this time in anticipation of (gasp) making "the magic of Christmas come alive." Santa's Village (www.facebook.com/santasvillageathilltophomes) is "a free annual event open to the community," started by Dave and Corinne Dunlap, when they realized that there was "nowhere in the Monticello area for kids and adults alike to see Santa and enjoy the magic of Christmas." Their mission "to raise funds for Sullivan County CASA" (www.sullivancoutycasa.org) and provide gifts under the tree for kids (www.toysfortots.org) has grown exponentially over the years, and partnering with the M&M Auto Group (www.mmautogroup.com) and Thunder 102 (dot com) has enabled the Dunlaps to see their dreams realized, one toy at a time. "Over the last few years," the Dunlap's shared, "we have collected well over $15,000 and more than 3,000 toys at Santa's Village, while assisting CASA (court appointed special advocates), which provides screened, trained and supervised volunteers, appointed by the court, to speak up for the needs of abused and neglected children,"
Since Santa's Village is a free event, it literally "takes a village" to make the Dunlap's dream (The Hilltop Express, spectacular decorations and a musical show with over 150,000 lights) a reality for the community at large, and so naturally, we solicit donations in an effort to provide holiday memories for those less fortunate. It seems early, but this year promises to be bigger and better than ever before, which requires months of planning and scores of volunteers. Once again, the lyrics nudge me into action. "And so she takes her summertime, tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger, twist the world 'round her summer finger. Let's you see the wonder of it all. And if you learned your lesson well, there's little more for her to tell, one last caress, it's time to dress… for fall."
To contribute to Santa's Village, call Dave Dunlap at 845/807-7555, or email email@example.com, or contact me directly at email@example.com.

What is in this article?:
- In spite of needed soil moisture, farmers begin sorghum planting in the Coastal Bend
- Alternate crops
- Planting is underway in coastal bend.
- Core samples indicate there is enough soil moisture to start a crop.
- A few growers are looking hard at drought-tolerant alternatives.
More About:
Cotton and sorghum growers in the Coastal Bend are concerned about low subsoil moisture levels and the prospect for needed rain this spring, but that hasn't stopped most from starting the process of getting this year's crop in the ground.
"This area is traditionally number one in the state for grain sorghum production and last year's drought wasn't as bad for us as it was for others because we started the year with a lot of moisture in the ground. But this year, as it stands now, we're about 15 inches of rain short of where we would like to be in terms of soil moisture. Without it the prospects of a good crop year are not promising," reports Nueces County Extension Agent Jeff Stapper.
He says recent core samples indicate there is enough soil moisture to start a crop this year, but without substantial rain in the spring, dry land crops will suffer and yields will falter.
"We were fortunate to receive from 4 to 6 inches of rain in February, but core samples indicate soil moisture is at about 50 to 70 percent of capacity, and while that doesn't sound so bad, it is a clear indication that more rain will be needed soon for a young crop to thrive," he adds.
Many producers in Nueces County rotate cotton and grain sorghum, and like most everywhere in drought-stricken Texas, concerns for adequate rainfall is the number one issue on growers' minds.

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
"Oophorectomy" is the removal of the ovaries to treat or prevent ovarian cancer or other ovarian abnormalities. "Risk-reducing oophorectomy" refers to the removal of healthy ovaries in women who have an elevated risk for ovarian cancer. Women with elevated hereditary risk for ovarian cancer also have an elevated risk for fallopian tube cancer. For this reason, when their ovaries are removed prophylactically, the fallopian tubes must also be removed.
"Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy" (BSO) refers to the surgical removal of both ovaries and both tubes. In women at increased risk for ovarian cancer, bilateral prophylactic oophorectomy has been shown to be a highly effective tool to lower the risk for both ovarian cancer and breast cancer.
After prophylactic oophorectomy, there is still a small risk for developing cancer of the "peritoneum," which is the lining of the abdomen. This type of cancer, called "primary peritoneal cancer," is related to ovarian cancer. Although the risk remains, it is quite small. Currently there is no proven method of preventing or screening for primary peritoneal cancer.
Previously, all ovarian cancers were believed to develop in the lining of the ovary as a result of the constant rupture and repair process during ovulation. New research, however, suggests that many ovarian cancers in BRCA gene mutation carriers may actually start in the distal fallopian tube (part of the tube closest to the ovary), causing researchers to question whether salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes) might reduce ovarian cancer risk.
Current expert guidelines recommend that women with BRCA mutations undergo bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes) between the ages of 35 - 40 or after childbearing is completed. This surgery has been shown through research to improve survival in mutation carriers. However, the surgery also causes immediate surgical menopause, which can be accompanied by short and long-term side effects and health consequences.
Concerns regarding menopausal symptoms should not discourage BRCA mutation carriers from pursuing risk-reducing removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes when appropriate. It is important for women who have undergone surgical menopause or who are considering prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy to discuss menopausal symptoms and management with their health care team. Effective treatment for such symptoms is available, and is considered appropriate for many women with BRCA mutations.
The decision to undergo prophylactic surgically is highly personal. Confronting your personal cancer risk can be confusing and frustrating. Therefore, it is important to consult with experts in genetics and gynecologic oncology when determining your risk for ovarian cancer and making the risk-management decisions that are best for you.

Grand Valley State, Grand Rapids Public Schools, and Grand Rapids Mayor work to support Covenant House GR
Posted on April 29, 2013
The Grand Valley State University Board of Trustees voted to authorize four charter high schools at its April 29 meeting, including one in the city of Grand Rapids. This move represents another level of partnership between the university, the Grand Rapids Public Schools and the city of Grand Rapids.
Grand Valley will become the authorizer for Covenant House Academy Grand Rapids and Covenant House Academies Detroit. These charter high schools will serve students who are or were homeless or former school dropouts with specialized programming. The funding for services for these students is provided between the ages of 16 and 22.
Covenant House Academy Grand Rapids will be housed in the former Grand Rapids Public Schools Campau Park Elementary building, which the Grand Rapids Public Schools Board agreed to sell to Covenant House at its meeting on April 22 for $400,000.
"Grand Valley is looking forward to the creation of Covenant House, and the opportunity it provides for the university to work with Grand Rapids young people," President Thomas J. Haas said. "We believe in the mission of educating students, and we believe this provides a powerful opportunity for our Charter Schools Office to help students with unique needs and to work with the Grand Rapids Public Schools for the betterment of the city of Grand Rapids."
The authorization of Covenant House Academy Grand Rapids is a continuation of the long-standing partnership between Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the City of Grand Rapids that will ensure that all children have access to high-quality public schools.
"I am very pleased and excited to partner with Covenant House and Grand Valley to serve children," Superintendent Teresa Weatherall Neal said. "Many of these students are going to age out of Grand Rapids schools or may have already dropped out. We need them to be productive members of society, so that's why we are not just selling he building, but partnering with both organizations to ensure they have a high-quality support system."
Covenant House Grand Rapids is targeted toward at-risk youth between the ages of 16 and 22. GRPS and Covenant House are working together on an agreement for potential data sharing and other service sharing like food service and school safety.
Seventeen percent of Grand Rapids families live in poverty, 86 percent of GRPS students live in poverty, and an estimated 5,000 individuals in Grand Rapids are homeless. Covenant House Academy Grand Rapids will be the first school in Grand Rapids dedicated to serving this unique population.
Mayor George Heartwell participated in the news conference to add his support and that of the City of Grand Rapids for this new school and unique partnership between Grand Valley, GRPS, and Covenant House. "I am particularly enthusiastic about this partnership because it is about putting students first, especially those students who are the most at-risk and require extra support to ensure they do not slip through the cracks," Heartwell said. "This is yet another example of how Grand Rapids has solution-oriented organizations that work collaboratively for the well-being of our community's children."
The academy starts with a strong philosophy that puts the needs of the students first. The academy will help motivate students by providing each with an individualized education development plan and a clear path to achieving their educational goals. It will provide a safe and productive learning environment in which students can communicate effectively, think critically, solve problems, and are technologically literate through a variety of activities. The ultimate mission of the academy is to improve the life of prospective students who have previously been school dropouts, have been or currently are homeless, or otherwise at-risk.
The Board of Trustees also approved authorization of Covenant House Academy Detroit, a group of three charter schools that also serve homeless and at-risk students. Covenant House Academy Detroit has been in operation since 2005 and was previously authorized by Detroit Public Schools. Since 2005, more than 600 students have earned their high school diploma through the academies. Classes are offered year-round and students are able to attend morning or afternoon sessions to make room for work or family obligations. The three schools will serve 823 students in the first year.
"Covenant House schools' primary mission is helping high school dropouts and preventing homelessness by working with these students to achieve high school diplomas," said Sam Joseph, executive director of Covenant House Michigan.
As charter schools authorized by Grand Valley, Covenant House Academies will have legally defined performance standards that require the schools to demonstrate student growth and retain students in school in order to maintain their charters.
Grand Valley State University authorizes 51 charter school buildings, serving about 25,000 students.
President Haas said partnerships with GRPS are a priority (audio).
President Haas said GVSU has an obligation to contribute to the community (audio).

In its fervor to secure timber, China is increasingly seen as a predator on the world's forests.wood and paper products. China is now the "wood workshop for the world," according to Forest Trends, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, consuming more than 400 million cubic meters of timber annually to feed both its burgeoning exports and growing domestic demands. Production of paper products has also grown dramatically in China, doubling from 2002 to 2007.
One report said that China imports 16 to 24 million cubic meters of illegal timber each year.year. This is an incredible figure — twice the total amount imported annually by leading industrial nations.
Efforts to combat illicit timber imports are finally beginning to gain some traction in China.Pulp & Paper (APP) and APRIL, which are felling large expanses of native rainforest for wood pulp. The pulp and paper have been used by Chinese manufacturers to make branded products for scores of well-known companies around the world. Some of those companies — including Gucci, Scholastic, Hachette, and Tiffany & Co. — have switched to recycled and sustainably certified paper products. As of this year, other companies — including Prada, American Greetings, Marc Jacobs, and the Rupert Murdoch-owned HarperCollins publishing — are continuing to use APP or APRIL paper products supplied by Chinese manufacturers, according to RAN.

State Superintendent of Education Robert E.
Schiller today announced appointments of the five members
of the School Finance Authority for Hazel Crest School District
152 ½ and emphasized that the community can now be
assured that schools will remain open for the entire school
The Hazel Crest district was nearing insolvency until the
General Assembly passed legislation to authorize the establishment
of the School Finance Authority and provide for access to
a state emergency loan if private lending sources can not
be found to provide enough funding to complete the year. Governor
Ryan signed the legislation December 6, and the State Board
acted Dec. 9 to establish the Authority.
"These individuals bring a great deal of experience
and expertise to this task that is difficult and vitally important
to the 1,132 students of this struggling district," Schiller
said. "Establishing this Authority not only assures students,
staff and community that Hazel Crest schools will be open
for the remainder of the school year; it also puts in place
a process for determining what is best for the students in
future years."
Members appointed by Schiller include two members of the
previously formed Financial Oversight Panel, Lawrence E. Hupe
and Edward M. O'Malley. Additional members are Barbara Toney
and two residents of the Hazel Crest district: Steven Wright
of Markham and Mary Emily Grant of Hazel Crest.
Hupe is the chair of the Financial
Oversight Panel and has been designated by Schiller to be
chairman of the School Finance Authority. He was the Worth
Township School Treasurer for nearly 30 years, where he was
responsible for investments and cash management for all Worth
Township school districts and special education cooperatives.
He was a founder, trustee and chairman of the Illinois School
District Liquid Asset Fund. He is a former chair of the Illinois
Financial Advisory Committee, the group that advises the State
Superintendent on school district financial issues.
O'Malley most recently served
as director of fiscal services for Rich Township High School
District 227 in Olympia Fields. He previously served in the
business offices of three other school districts and a special
education cooperative. He holds a Chief School Business Official
Certificate and a General Administrative Certificate.
Toney is an associate with
The Bickert Group, a school superintendent search firm, the
Public Information Specialist with Project CHOICES (Children
Have Opportunities in Inclusive Community Environments and
Schools) and a former teacher in Bloomingdale School District
13. She was a member of former Governor Jim Edgar's Blue ribbon
Committee on Education Funding and was a member and president
of the West Chicago Elementary District 33 Board of Education.
She is currently a member of the School Funding Committee
for the Legislative Education Network of DuPage (LEND).
Wright has a Bachelor of Science
degree in Finance from Chicago State University and is completing
his MBA in Finance from Roosevelt University. He is a Financial
counselor with CitiStreet and previously held financial positions
with American Express, Wadell & Reed, Firstar Bank and
Chrysler Credit Corporation.
Grant holds both a B.A. and
an MBA in Finance from DePaul University. She is a Portfolio
Manager for Banc One Investment Advisors Corporation. She
previously served in the Trust and Investment Department with
Lake Shore National Bank. She is Vice President of the Hazel
Crest Proper Neighborhood Association and co-chairs that group's
Youth Committee.
Hupe, Grant and Toney will serve three-year terms; O'Malley
and Wright were appointed to two-year terms.
The State Board provided an authorized emergency grant of
$283,000 to the district after the Financial Oversight Panel
was established in October. The district also recently received
$1.5 million through a Member Initiative from the General
Assembly. In addition, the FOP was able to borrow $1.7 million
for the district through issuing Tax Anticipation Warrants.
These resources have allowed the district to meet payrolls
up to this point and to begin paying overdue bills that total
over $1 million.

- PerCAS: an approach to enabling dynamic and personalized adaptation for context-aware services
- Author(s)
- Yu, Jian; Han, Jun; Sheng, Quan Z.; Gunarso, Steven O.
- Abstract
- Context-aware services often need to adapt their behaviors according to physical situations and user preferences. However, most of the existing approaches to developing context-aware services can only do adaptation based on globally defined adaptation logic without considering the personalized context-aware adaptation needs of a specific user. In this paper, we propose a novel model-driven approach called PerCAS to developing and executing personalized context-aware services that are able to adapt to a specific user's adaptation needs at runtime. To enable dynamic and personalized context-aware adaptation, user-specific adaptation logic is encoded as rules, which are then weaved into a base process with an aspect-oriented mechanism. At runtime, the active user-specific rule set will be switched depending on who is using/invoking the service. A model-driven platform has been implemented to support the development and maintenance of personalized context-aware services from specification, design, to deployment and execution. Initial in-lab performance experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of our approach.

Three Reasons To Stick With Stocks
Read the latest news headlines, and you can always find a reason not to invest in stocks, says Charles Sizemore , a portfolio manager on the Covestor platform.
The short list of worries at the moment includes the possible end of fiscal stimulus, tensions in Syria, and the threat of new fiscal challenges as the U.S. approaches its debt ceiling in October.
To top it off, September tends to be a volatile month for stocks!
"But you can always talk your way out of investing," Sizemore says. "The best antidote to that kind of thinking is to pick up a newspaper from a year ago. Look at the headlines at what people were worrying about then. It will all seem ridiculous — the same way that a lot of what we worry about today will look ridiculous a year from now."
Better questions to ask, Sizemore says, is if stocks are priced fairly, if there are pockets of investment opportunities and if there are reasons that the market may continue to rise.
To his latter point, Sizemore believes there are three reasons why the stock market may continue to climb as we approach the end of 2013:
Syria conflict may be averted
Uncertainties that are widely known and understood by most investors tend to be priced into the market, Sizemore says. For that reason, he thinks that any possible U.S. military conflict in Syria and how its potential impact on oil prices and corporate earnings are already factored into today's stock prices.
To the contrary, Sizemore thinks that the unlikelihood of war is not being reflected.
"There is no consensus for a Western military response, and there is no support for this," Sizemore says. " If the U.S. does get involved at this point, the response is going to be really, really small."
Stimulus may continue
For months, expectations have been rising for the Fed to begin cutting back on its monthly bond purchases — a fiscal stimulus move that seemingly has aided stock performance for much of 2013. It even has its own buzzword — tapering.
"I am so sick of hearing the word tapering, Sizemore says. "I think it has already largely been priced into the market. A lot of the yield-sensitive investments have already gotten pounded. In my estimation, most of the damage has already been priced in."
Sizemore argues the Fed may taper less than many economists and investors are anticipating, which could also contribute to possible stock upside.
International valuations
There are stock values to be found, especially in European markets, Sizemore says — where many possible investments are being ignored by US investors.
Many investors in the US may not be closely watching the news headlines about the sex scandal that has engulfed Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

On Friday, we grabbed a quick flight from Denver to Salt Lake City to catch the world premiere of Flow State, Warren Miller Entertainment's 63rd film. It was the kind of premiere filmmakers dream about: Fans packed the 3,000-seat theater and more than 20 athletes were in attendance. When World Cup champ Daron Rahlves got the call asking if he was available to head to Alaska to film a segment with Tommy Moe and Marco Sullivan, he was ecstatic. "I was like, uhhh, yeah. Sign me up," he says.

Ugly in LA: Kennedy, Gibson,Mattingly among 8 suspendedAP PHOTO
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, center, yells at members of the Arizona Diamondbacks while umpire Manny Gonzalez holds him back on Tuesday in Los Angeles.
NEW YORK Arizona pitcher Ian Kennedy was suspended for 10 games and Diamondbacks infielder Eric Hinske for five Friday for their roles in a brawl this week, while managers Don Mattingly and Kirk Gibson were given one-game bans.
In all, eight members of the Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers organizations were suspended by Major League Baseball Senior Vice President Joe Garagiola Jr.
He cited Kennedy for intentionally throwing a pitch at the head of Zack Greinke after a warning had been issued on Tuesday night and Hinske for leaving the dugout and aggressive actions. Mattingly was penalized for his conduct and Gibson for Kennedys actions following a warning.
Dodgers pitcher J.P. Howell and infielder-outfielder Skip Schumaker were suspended two games apiece for aggressive actions and Los Angeles hitting coach Mark McGwire two games for his conduct.
Los Angeles pitcher Ronald Belisario was suspended one game for aggressive actions.
All eight were fined, as were Greinke, Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig, Arizona catcher Miguel Montero and Diamondbacks outfielder Gerardo Parra.
MLB fined the Dodgers for allowing players on the disabled list to leave the dugout and enter the field during the brawl. MLB also banned disable list players on the Dodgers and Diamondbacks from sitting in their dugouts through Sunday.
Mattingly was to serve his penalty during Friday nights series opener at Pittsburgh and Gibson during Arizonas game at San Diego. McGwire was to miss games Friday and Saturday.
If players appeal, theyre penalties are held off until after hearings and decisions.
Kennedy hit Puig with a pitch that deflected off his back to his nose in the sixth, and Greinke hit Montero on the back in the seventh, drawing a warning from umpires. Both teams charged onto the field, but the scrum broke up quickly with no punches thrown.
Kennedy then hit Greinke on the upper left shoulder in the bottom half of the inning, and the ball deflected off his helmet. A prolonged and more heated scuffle ensued against a railing on the first-base side.
Kennedy, Gibson and Diamondbacks coach Turner Ward were ejected after the shoving match. Puig, McGwire and Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario also were tossed.
Mattingly had to be restrained as he tried to get at Gibson, and they exchanged words briefly. McGwire and third base coach Matt Williams grabbed each others shirts in a tense standoff and shouted at each other.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md. Wade Davis already had closed out a World Series.

The General Education Requirements (also known as GER) provide structure to your education while giving you the freedom to design an individual academic program.
- Courses Approved for GER Distribution
- GER Courses Offered During the Current Semester
- UWM Foreign Language Courses and GER Status
- Courses That no Longer Satisfy GER
What are General Education Requirements?
The General Education Requirements are intended to give structure to each student's education while providing the student the greatest possible freedom to design an individual academic program. These requirements include two major categories, competency and distribution.
The competency requirements are designed to assure basic proficiency in oral and written communication, quantitative literacy, and foreign language. The GER Quantitative Literacy Part A and Oral and Written Communication Part A requirements should be completed early in the academic career to ensure acquisition of critical skills for subsequent coursework. Many UWM schools/colleges require completion of Part A of those competencies prior to advancing to the professional portion of the major. Completion of the relevant Part A competency is also a prerequisite for some intermediate and advanced courses. The distribution requirements are designed to provide students with a broad body of knowledge in the areas of the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences as a foundation for specialization.
Specific GER requirements are as follows:
Competency Requirements
Oral and Written Communication (OWC) Competency
OWC Part A: Completion of OWC Part A can be demonstrated by satisfying one of the following options:
- earning at least three credits with a grade of C or higher in English 102;* or
- transferring at least three credits with a grade of C or higher in a course equivalent to English 102 or higher level expository writing course;* or
- achieving an appropriate score on the English Placement Test (EPT).
OWC Part B: The OWC Part B is satisfied by completing an approved advanced course (at least three credits) with a significant written or oral communication component by students who have completed the Part A requirement.
Courses that count toward the OWC-B requirement may be offered in a variety of disciplines and students are encouraged to choose the course that matches their interests and helps them best meet the requirements of their degrees.
Quantitative Literacy (QL) Competency
QL Part A. Completion of QL Part A can be demonstrated by satisfying one of the following options:
- earning at least three credits with a grade of C or higher in Math 102, 103 (formerly 106), 105, 108, 175 or equivalent courses;* or
- achieving a placement code of at least 30 on the mathematics placement test.
QL Part B. The QL Part B is satisfied by completing at least one approved QL-B course (at least three credits) as decided by the major. QL-B courses make significant use of quantitative tools in the context of other course material.
* These courses may not be taken credit/no credit if they are to be used to satisfy the OWC-A requirement or QL-A requirement.
Foreign Language Requirement Completion of the foreign language requirement can be demonstrated by satisfying one of the following options:
- complete with passing grades, prior to enrollment at UWM, at least two consecutive years of high school-level instruction in a single foreign language; or
- complete with passing grades at least two consecutive semesters (minimum of 6 credits) of college-level instruction in a single foreign language; or
- demonstrate foreign language ability equivalent to two semesters of college-level instruction by means of a satisfactory score on an approved placement, proficiency, departmental or other appropriate examination.
Exceptions to GER
Students who entered UWM as freshmen and/or earned transferable credit prior to September 2013 are not responsible for the Oral and Written Communication Part B or the Quantitative Literacy Part B.
Students who entered UWM as freshmen and/or earned transferable credit prior to September 1999 are not responsible for the GER foreign language competency. However, individual schools and colleges may require completion of higher level foreign language courses; students are strongly encouraged to check with their advisors and/or review their Academic Requirements report on PAWS.
In general, second degree candidates from an accredited institution and students whose first semester in a degree program at an accredited institution predates September 1986, are not subject to the General Education Requirements.
All degree programs have specific requirements beyond GER. Consult with an academic advisor to design an appropriate course of study.
Distribution Requirements
You can satisfy the distribution requirements by successfully completing courses in the following areas:
- Arts: Three credits in a course about the history, philosophy, theory, or practice of the creative and interpretive arts (e.g., visual arts, dance, music, theatre, creative writing).
- Humanities: A total of six credits in at least two courses.
- Natural Sciences: A total of six credits in at least two courses. At least one course must include laboratory or field experience involving the generation and testing of data, and the application of concepts and knowledge to the solution of problems.
- Social Sciences: A total of six credits in at least two courses.
- Cultural Diversity: Three credits in a course relating to the study of life experiences of African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians or Asian Americans. Many, but not all, courses that satisfy Cultural Diversity also satisfy one of the required distribution areas. (You will need to satisfy this requirement if you started attending UWM in fall 1989 or thereafter.)
Cultures and Communities (CC)
Students may choose the Cultures and Communities option to satisfy their GER distribution requirements. CC courses emphasize diversity and cross-cultural literacy, multicultural arts, global studies, and the cultural contexts of science, health care, and technology. A Service Learning course is also required. Students who complete the CC program receive the Cultures and Communities Certificate upon graduation. For more information, contact the Cultures and Communities Program, 414-229-5960.
GER Course List
Courses which have been approved as satisfying the GER distribution requirements are listed on the Courses Approved for GER Distribution pages. A course can be counted in only one of the main distribution areas (Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences or Social Sciences), but may also satisfy the Cultural Diversity requirement if it is on the approved list.
Consult the Schedule of Classes to determine specific courses being offered this semester. Courses that satisfy the GER distribution requirements are annotated as follows directly below each course number:
- (A) = satisfies Arts requirement
- (CD,A) = satisfies Arts/Cultural Diversity requirement
- (HU) = satisfies Humanities requirement
- (CD,HU) = satisfies Humanities/Cultural Diversity requirement
- (NS) = satisfies Natural Sciences requirement
- (NS+) = satisfies Natural Sciences lab/fieldwork requirement
- (SS) = satisfies Social Sciences requirement
- (CD,SS) = satisfies Social Sciences/Cultural Diversity requirement
Consult with your academic advisor if you have questions about the General Education Requirements.

For seniors in high school, it's about that time to dive into your college applications. The process is rather involved and has the potential to become very stressful but here's how you can go about it while retaining your sanity.
First, you likely already have a list of colleges you are considering but start narrowing down your top contenders. Look at the majors they offer and see if they have the programs you're interested in. Check the cost – financial aid may play a key role in what college you attend – and also see if they have activities that interest you (a sport you want to play, a specific student organization, a Greek system, an honors program, etc.). What's the on-campus housing situation and could you see yourself living in the dorms? Consider these questions and more when deciding whether or not to apply to a college.
Second, check all the application deadlines. Remember, besides the actual application, you must submit test scores, transcripts, recommendation letters and personal statements and you need adequate time to procure all of these items. Also, review the fees associated with each application; some schools let you apply for free or a discounted rate online but you should also consider requesting application fee waivers if money is tight.
Third, the personal statement is the biggest part of the college application because it represents your personality. You may have a high GPA, AP classes and extracurricular activities but so do many other students – what will set you apart from the rest of the application pool is how you present yourself in the personal statement. Have a teacher or parent review your personal statement and edit it for you before submitting it to your college of choice.
Fourth – and although this is fourth on this list, you still want to get it done early – request recommendation letters. Ask teachers you've worked with and trust well in advance if they can write on your behalf. Have two or three for each college that requires one. Along with your personal information/resume/school involvement list, give the teacher an envelope that is stamped and addressed to the college(s) to which you're applying so they can submit their letters directly.
Last but not least, take all your tests on time. If you haven't taken the ACT, SAT or SAT II tests, register for the next available date; check which tests your colleges require and sign up for those ASAP!
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major at San Jose State University. She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.
And remember, there's no need to rely on expensive student loan options to pay for your college education. For more information on finding free scholarship money for college, conduct a Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today, then apply and win! It's that easy!
Share your thoughts and perhaps thousands of students will benefit from your unique insight on the subject!
Kathryn B on 11/18/2012 7:43:54 PM commented:
Missed Deadlines = Missed Opportunities
If you're looking to start college in 2013, don't wait till next year to apply. Many Universities have incentives for applying early which include being considered for non-application and merit based scholarship opportunities. At the University of Cincinnati the deadline is December 1st.
On the University of Cincinnati Financial Aid website it states: Once you have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) the UC Student Financial Aid Office considers you for all aid sources. We first look at scholarship and grant eligibility based on merit or need. Self-help sources such as work-study and loans are then assessed. It is in your best interest to submit your financial aid application early if you wish to be considered for all these funding possibilities.
So, when it applying for college take all of Radha's advice as it is right on the money and could lead to free money for college…literally!
