Are Immigrants Paid Less for Education?
This paper is on measuring the gap in returns to education between foreign-born and native workers in France, Germany, and Austria and investigates the extent to which this gap can be explained by a mis-match between the actual and the years of schooling typical for a given occupation. The return to usual years of schooling across different occupations is found to be higher than that for actual years of education. In the case of correctly matched workers who have the 'typical' education in a certain occupation, there is no additional reward in earnings for natives compared to foreign workers. Immigrants, however, have significantly lower wage returns in being over-educated than natives but are penalized less for being under-educated.

Pittsburgh Musical Theater
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Based on the Victor Hugo novel and songs from the Disney animated feature, The Hunchback of Notre Dame showcases the film's Oscar®-nominated score as well as new songs by Menken and Schwartz. Peter Parnell's new book embraces story theatre and features verbatim passages from Hugo's gothic novel.
The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame resound through the famed cathedral in 15th-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be "Out There," observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful gypsy, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn't the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the gypsies – and it's up to Quasimodo to save them all.
A sweeping score and powerful story make The Hunchback of Notre Dame an instant classic. Audiences will be swept away by the magic of this truly unforgettable musical.

Fall is a common time for college fairs. Juniors and seniors, even sophomores, can connect with dozens of colleges in well fell swoop.

Whatever the grades are at the end of the junior year (and for most test scores – if you plan right!), that is what you'll apply to college with and that list of colleges needs to be finalized before the senior year begins.

My 4 Surprises of Greek Life
Welcome to Guest Blogger, Jack Johnson (U of Cincinnati, '17) When I first entered college, I had no idea what to do with myself.

4 Ways to Grab a College's Attention
Demonstrated Interest is a term that doesn't always make it into the college selection dialogue, but it should. With the turn to online applications for college, schools experienced a surge of applicants. This threw off their long standing formulas for how many students to admit. Colleges are essentially businesses. They need a body in every seat. Before online applications, each college had a formula they were confident in to yield the number of students they wanted to enroll. Let's keep it simple. A college establishes how many freshmen they want to enroll for the next school year. They also have an established … Continue reading
Relax and Master Your College Interview
The thirty to sixty minutes you have in an interview with a college is certain not to make or break your admission, so take a deep breath and shine!

So how do you take the pressure off and actually enjoy the process when you're offered the opportunity to interview on campus or with a local alum? Do Your … Continue reading

In short: Not Much! I know that answer disappoints multitudes of parents of college bound high school students.

Last man on the planet
A roaring tide of blackness receded, as a small, broken figure, lying on the floor in the middle of a desolate plain, opened his eyes. A blaze of light scorched his eyes, burning, blinding, reminding him of the freakish light of last night.
Pain. That was what he felt. But, as he turned his head, he could see no-one, see nothing familiar. Jagged lumps of masonry surrounded him, a jagged shard of thin metal still wedged in his hand.
There was nobody who could help him, and his leg felt broken. He had to go. He had to find help. There had to be somebody out there. Crawling painfully, he dragged himself along the ground with his one good arm, looking for others.
From the dark ruins, glowing eyes watched him drag his ruined body across the wasteland. Some started forward, but were stopped. They would wait for exhaustion, hunger and thirst to take its toll. For the meantime, they would follow.

I am still getting calls from creditors after paying $181.12 for 24 months to the Johnson Law Group. I am permanently disabled. It was very difficult to pay off these debts. At least, I thought I was paying them off at the time. I'm so frustrated with this mess! Some creditor called me again yesterday and harrassed me over something that I thought I had paid of in full years ago! I refuse to pay stuff off twice! What is going on??? I want all my money back now. I cannot afford this mess. This is too stressful on me right now since I am pregnant! Can anyone please help? I lost over $4000 to these people and they did not do their jobs.

Kenya Commercial Bank Falls Most in 8 Months: Nairobi MoverEric Ombok
Kenya Commercial Bank Ltd., the country's biggest lender by assets, dropped the most in almost eight months on a technical signal that suggested a rally this year was overdone.
KCB, as the lender is known, fell 5.1 percent to close at 32.75 shillings a share in the capital, Nairobi, its biggest retreat since May 22.
The stock had climbed 16 percent this year before today, closing at a record high of 34.5 shillings yesterday, leaving its 14-day relative strength index at 91.7, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A reading above 70 means a security is overvalued and will probably fall. KCB's RSI was above 70 every day this year until today, where it last stood at 65.5.
"Guys are taking profits after the shares gained so much," Faith Atiti, a research analyst at Nairobi-based NIC Securities Ltd. said by telephone. "The market was expecting the correction after the rally."
The lender's earnings in the nine months through September surged 35 percent to 8.69 billion shillings ($100 million) as income from loans grew, it said Oct. 25.

CAD Retail Sales Rise More Than Expected In January
Release Explanation: Retail Sales are a very important set of figures that make up a large percentage of consumer spending numbers. Retail sales are the measure of the total sales of goods and services by retail stores. Service-based economies rely on the strength of the consumer to keep things moving along, this therefore impacts PCE and CPI, the Inflationary reports.
A currency will be impacted by this report over time as it reveals the strength of the public in their ability, or desire, to spend. Steady increases in retail sales apply significant inflationary pressures to consumer prices. With retail trade being the foremost indicator for consumer spending, this figure is extremely important in understanding the economy.
Trade Desk Thoughts: According to Statistics Canada, retail sales rose 1.9% in January after decreasing 5.2% in December. Sales rose in five of the eight retail sectors, led by a 3.8% increase in the automotive sector. In volume terms, retail sales were up 1.8%.
When adjusted for inflation, sales have decreased by about 7% from the peak in September 2008.
The main contributor to the increase in the automotive sector in January was a 6.4% rise in the value of sales at new car dealers, following a 15.1% decline in December. January's gain reflects a higher number of new motor vehicles sold, according to the New Motor Vehicles Sales Survey. Sales at gasoline stations rose 2.6%, while used and recreational motor vehicle and parts dealers registered a 1.8% decline.
The two sectors where January's increases more than offset December's declines were food and beverage stores (+2.1%) and pharmacies and personal care stores (+2.0%). These stores mainly sell products (such as food and prescription drugs) whose consumption is less discretionary than other goods sold by retailers such as automobiles and furniture.
Two sectors registered sales declines in January. Sales at building and home supplies stores fell 1.4%, reflecting in part a continued slump in the housing market. Sales at furniture, home furnishings and electronics stores were down 0.7%.
Forex Technical Reaction: Crude futures were recently lower by about 90 cents on the session, but the cad (USD/CAD) was slightly lower on the day.

Sunbrella fabrics launches multi-platform ad campaign
March 19, 2012,
Sunbrella fabrics launches multi-platform ad campaign
Glen Raven, N.C. - Sunbrella is launching a new ad campaign dubbed "Live Free Style."
"We believe that people will relate to this campaign on many levels - as parents, homeowners and individuals who enjoy the relaxing moments in life," said Gina Wicker, design and creative director for Sunbrella fabrics. "With Sunbrella, the possibilities are endless, and this campaign highlights those aspects of creativity and imagination."
Developed by Charlotte, N.C.-based Wray Ward, the campaign includes print ads that incorporate aspects of the furniture, awning and marine markets served by the Sunbrella brand. Each ad features a QR code that takes visitors to a stop-animation video, bringing the ad to life and offering additional information on Sunbrella fabrics.
"This campaign allowed us to push creative boundaries and show Sunbrella fabrics in a completely different light," said John Roberts, creative director at Wray Ward. "Rather than focusing only on product attributes or room settings, we show all of that and more using the fabrics as the background and the imagination of a child as the perspective. It allows consumers to look at Sunbrella fabrics with new eyes."
Three ads from The Live Free Style campaign have been unveiled to date - BMX, Wave and Hang Glider - with additional ads slated for release in the coming months. The print ads will appear in trade and consumer publications throughout the year. Settings for each ad were built using Sunbrella fabrics, creating a piece of interactive art for the actors and showing the range of colors, textures and designs available from the iconic brand. In BMX, the premiere ad of the campaign, a young boy rides his bike through a rough terrain of boulders, rocks and a flowing stream, all made from Sunbrella fabrics.
An additional component of the new campaign is www.livefreestyle.com, a website providing behind-the-scenes footage of the creative process that brought the campaign to life. Two-minute videos tell the story of each ad, from an artist's sketch to the building of sets, while providing glimpses of the Sunbrella creative team and the finished product.
"Live Free Style stays true to the Sunbrella brand promise of delivering a powerful combination of beauty, durability and worry-free living for the moments you've earned," Wicker said. "We are excited to share the campaign with Sunbrella fans and with those new to our brand, both consumers and the trade."

My Heart Is Your's :')
-Evidently, stolen the start of the 'chorus' from Feist's wonderful '1, 2, 3, 4' :D
I hope you know who this is to, my loves.-
One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Can you make it
So that I am really sure
"I just want to
Know what goes on in your head
So don't push me
Out and tell me lies instead"
One, two, three, four
Boys I love you more than you
Can ever know
And when I'm sober, that's still true
"Can you please stop
Drinking whiskey because I
Worry about
You, my love. Don't ask me why."
One, two, three, four
Stay with me for the rest of
My entire life
'Cause you fit me just like a glove
One, two, three, four
Guys I hope you know it's true
That really my
Heart belongs only to you.

For more than a century, Mendocino water towers and accompanying windmills have captured the attention of visitors and writers alike. In 1892, one reporter observed during her stay, "an individuality about the water works of this town not found in any other place."

Looking around this seems to be caused byt the OS partition not being active, however since it is a VM I'm afraid changing the active partition will cause it not to boot correctly. The active partition at the moment is a 100MB "system reserved" partition, which i believe contains ESXi "stuff". Any ideas on how to fix it and make a backup of the machine? It seems weird that MS didn't consider virtualized windows machines when they wrote the backup snap-in. Or did I get something wrong? I'd be grateful for any help.

For the first time, local Muslim leaders and officials with the Department of Homeland Security are utilizing face-to-face forums to discuss concerns and misconceptions. Houston Public Radio's Jack WIlliams reports.
The discussion between the DHS's Director of the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Daniel Sutherland and local Islamic religious leaders, known as imams, took place at Rice Universities Baker Institute for Public Policy. The forum was part of a new Department of Homeland Security effort to open the lines of communication between the government and Muslim-Americans.
"When you sit face-to-face and talk face-to-face with other people, you learn their perspective and they learn your perspective and I think it's helped community members to understand the security focus of agencies but it's also helped the security agencies to learn from the communities."
Sutherland is traveling across the nation, hosting similar forums in large cities like Los Angeles, New York and Detroit. He says so far, the discussions have led to answers and more understanding.
"We really try to listen to one another well, respect one another. We've found that the Muslim-American community really wants the country to be secure just like everybody else and they really appreciate the fact that we're coming and asking for their views on how we can do it. So we tackle tough issues, we don't dodge them, we don't hide from and we try to find ways that we can maybe pick a particular part of it that we can work together on that one and try to make some progress on that."
Many Muslim-Americans are concerned about perceived profiling and discrimination at airports and border crossings since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Rodwan Saleh is the president of the Islamic Society of Greater Houston and says it helps both sides to discuss their concerns in an open forum.
"This is about opening a line of communication. This is about letting the American citizens know that our imams are legitimate citizens who are preaching peace and tranquility and the understanding and bridging the gap between two cultures, the Islamic one, the Middle East two, the Muslim world in general and the United States."
Saleh says he hopes the dialogue continues as local Muslim-Americans learn to trust the government and its security policies.

Description: The Square Knot
Button is a vintage knot rarely seen in modern
Macrame patterns. These decorative knots were
very popular in Macrame designs created in the
This particular type of button knot is easy to
make, and is often used to create heads for
dolls and animals. It's can be used to decorate
just about anything, including Wall Hangings,
Plant Hangers and Wreaths.
To view a project where this knot is featured,
see the Holiday Angel.
Make sure you know how to tie Square
Knots before you try practicing
this design.
These knots require more
material than flat designs, since the
cords are folded to form the button. Keep that
in mind if you create your own designs, and cut
the cords longer.
For every button knot you make, you need at
least 8
inches of material.
Step 1: Fold 2 cords in half,
or use 4 individual cords, to practice this
technique. Secure them to your board.
Tie a short sennit (chain) of Square Knots.
There should be 2 working
cords and 2 fillers
for each knot.
Step 2: Move down 1/4-inch,
and tie 3 -
5 Square Knots. The size of the button is
determined this set of knots. The more SK you
tie, the larger the button will be (height).
Take note of the area between the two sets of
knots. There are two spaces, one to the left,
and one to the right of the fillers.
Step 3: Pass the left working cord,
and the filler next to it, through the left
The right
working cord and the other filler
should pass through the right
Step 4: Pull down on the ends
to roll the knots into the button shape.
Tie a Square Knot with the same
working cords and fillers,
tightening it firmly so it rests against the
bottom of the button.

For the first time since Feb. 11, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have Matt Frattin in the lineup on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Frattin had seven goals and 10 points in 10 games this season before re-injuring his left knee and undergoing a procedure to clean up some damaged cartilage in his medial collateral ligament.
Matt Frattin says he's ready to go, will likely be on a line with Kadri and MacArthur tonight.
— David Alter (@DavidAlter590) March 9, 2013
The Maple Leafs are going with James Reimer in net tonight.
James Reimer in goal tonight for #Leafs
— David Alter (@DavidAlter590) March 9, 2013
James Reimer has a record of 9-3-0 in 13 appearances so far this season with a .921 save percentage.
The Morweena, MB., native has won his last six starts since a Feb. 7 victory in Winnipeg and was in net when the Leafs spoiled the Penguins home opener back on Jan. 23.
The Pittsburgh Penguins may be catching the Toronto Maple Leafs (15-10-0) at an opportune time. Toronto had a three-game winning streak snapped in a 4-2 loss at Boston on Thursday and has given up four goals or more in four of its last five games.
Nazem Kadri, however, has kept the Leafs' offense clicking at a high level. He enters this contest with six goals over a four-game scoring streak.
"It's about good habits," said Clarke MacArthur, who assisted on Kadri's goal against the Bruins. "We can take a lot of good things out of the game. Obviously those two points would have been huge for us, but we have to take the good positive things we did and take that into Pittsburgh."
James van Riemsdyk led the way with two goals and an assist in the first meeting, while Nikolai Kulemin added three assists.
The Maple Leafs enter this contest having scored nine times in their last two home games. They've won five of six in Toronto after losing four of five there to open the season.
Even though he was pulled after allowing four first-period goals on Thursday, Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to be back between the pipes on Saturday.
Fleury is 11-5-0 with a 2.64 GAA on the season, but he's 1-1-0 with a 4.78 GAA in his last three starts. He also has a 4.09 GAA in his last four starts in this series after allowing five goals on 24 shots in January's loss.
Toronto seeks its fourth straight home victory against the Penguins.
With Chris Kunitz enjoying a hot streak, the Pittsburgh Penguins' highly ranked offense has soared to another level lately.
#Pens vs. #Leafs: Chris Kunitz has 13-14-27 in 17 GP since February 2. Nazem Kadri has 6-5-11 on this seven-game point streak.
— Chris Nichols (@Nichols_NHLPool) March 9, 2013
The red-hot Penguins look to keep things rolling and win their fourth straight game on Saturday night when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Kunitz extended his point streak to a career-high seven games with the go-ahead goal in the third period of a 5-4 victory at Philadelphia on Thursday. The Penguins' winger finished with two goals and an assist, giving him seven and three, respectively, while scoring in five straight contests.
"The puck seems to be going in the net," Kunitz told the team's official website. "Hopefully, it keeps going."
Kunitz has points in 15 of his last 17 contests and ranks among the league leaders in both points (31) and goals (14). However, he hasn't produced a point in any of his last four games against the Maple Leafs - including a 5-2 home defeat on Jan. 23.
Sidney Crosby, who leads the league with 39 points, has 10 goals during a seven-game scoring streak in this series following his tally in the first meeting.
While they've been one of the NHL's highest-scoring clubs all season, the Penguins (16-8-0) have been even more efficient recently. Pittsburgh has totaled 16 goals during a three-game winning streak that began with a season-best seven-goal outburst at Montreal last Saturday.
Now the Penguins are likely to get another shot at Toronto goalie James Reimer, who has won his last six starts with a 2.40 goals-against average. Reimer also has a 3-0-1 record with a 2.20 GAA in four career starts in this series - including a 1-0 victory in the previous meeting in Toronto on Feb. 1, 2012.

Screen size is but one of the many minor conceits that Apple wallows in. Yet every poll I see indicates a preference for larger screens, with 4 and 4.3 getting the lion's share.
I'm asking you this Apple lovers: must you suffer for your devotion. Is there some religious edict requiring you two be limited to two choices, small phone in black and small phone in white?
You deserve better than to be treated like a bumbling herd of lobotomized sheep. You aren't going to get respect if you take what they give you and say "thank you sir, may I have another".
In the Android world, if you don't like it, wait a week and something better will come along, Voting with our feet is a way of life. It hurts me to see good people treated like serfs by a tyrannical company that thinks you like it like that. Rise up, oh ye the oppressed 9%! Rise up and throw down your tormentors!
34. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2707; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Not everyone wants or needs more than two choices. Many people quite like whatever Apple provides because of the design and integration with other Apple products. It's a choice, not something you need to campaign over.
35. earle.evans (Posts: 27; Member since: 07 Mar 2010)
Not everyone wants it. I went with an original Droid and Incredible 2 b/c of the smaller screen. To me, bigger is not better, it's cumbersome and annoying. Large part of the reason I went back to the iphone.

shows us a poll that shows most people want bigger screens not a pa fandroid poll either
45. remixfa (Posts: 14600; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the poll was already done..
"what feature do u want the most on the i4s/i5" article showed "bigger screen" as the number 1 answer by far.
Now on to sales.. when given the choice android consumers have shown over n over again that 4+ inches is the size phone they want.. even when other phones are given away for free. 90% of android's top sellers of the last year has been 4+ inches.
The proof is all around you. The iphone is the ONLY phone that sells that much with such a small screen, and thats ONLY because people that want iOS have NO CHOICE in the matter.

It's hard to say that we have an unbiased and representative readership. Gotta keep that in mind with our polls

I'm someone who wants a bigger screen 3.5 is way too small for me I have a 4.3 screen now and want a 5.3 screen I'm 6'5" and have big hands and a bigger screen means better web viewing better texting for my fingers for me a bigger screen is better but I guess if you like scrolling around and pinching to zoom on web viewing and your 4'5" and have small girlie hands 3.5 is great for you

I have actually decided that if the next iPhone has a screen larger thatn 4" I will buy one. I am a mac guy through and through, and having an iPhone would drastically simplify my mobile life, but my hands are gigantic, my fingers are even a little big for the keyboard on my HD7. The screen size is the only reason I have not purchased an iPhone.

3.5 inch screen size is so yesterday (more like last 2 years). If Apple keeps the iPhone's screen size locked into 3.5 inches, all of the high-end Android handset manufacturers should send flowers to Apple's executive team.
Add up the sales of the Android handsets with screen size larger than 3.5 inches. The number is not trivial. I guess the owners of those handsets are all using both hands while interacting with the handset. Having to use both hands sure doesn't seem to have soured those owners.

They don't use it as a blanket statement, they poll the readers here and thats the sample. If they say, "Most people that read this site would prefer a larger screen on the next iphone," How is that generalizing to the population?

"not all hands are born equal size."
Which is a problem when applying averaging. If 5 adult male's hands are measured as follows:
Hand A = 189mm
Hand B = 193mm
Hand C = 183mm
Hand D = 190mm
Hand E = 191mm
The Average measurement is 189.2. However, 60% of the sample has a larger hand size than the 'average', because of the one small hand skewing the average.
If Steve Jobs used average hand size as a reason for the 3.5 inch display size, he could be guilty of making an impulsive decision. I suspect it is more a matter of economics (as in unit cost of producing a retina-spec display in sizes larger than 3.5 inches).

All these remarks about Apple being last year or two years ago and them being left behind and being out sold by the massive amounts of different Android handsets by the massive amount of different makers shines its own light. I am by no means An Apple iPhone fan. It is just funny that for the iPhone to be so bad that people keep buying it. They will never out sell so many different Androids phones by so many different makers around the world. Still Android cant kill Apple off. I used an iPhone this past weekend the iPhone 4 and I like the screen size and the screen is beautiful. I dont have girlie hands I am 6 foot plus in height and weigh well over 270 and can grab a basketball on the run dribbling to give you an idea. I will not give my EVO up though. iPhone will have to go LTE to really make me think about it.

To state that pocket space and weight are a factor is a joke. What does Steve say the average pocket or pocketbook size is? How much does an iphone in an otterbox weigh? Really think it's lighter? Sigh

"The proof is all around you".. you are right... look on how the iphone is selling....
The iphone is the ONLY phone that sells that much with such a small screen"...... and thats why it sells soo much becuase is the only one..
"even when other phones are given away for free. 90% of android's top sellers of the last year has been 4+ inches."... well.. 90% of android phones are 4+... so those customers have no choice but to go to Android if they want a big screen....... keyword.. no choice.... and your point is????
136. Habib (Posts: 114; Member since: 26 Feb 2011)
i think i remember, that the circle was not the same size!
and this article by alot of commentators was considered futile and biased. As for the content, which were based on these two pictures, they are also futile!
137. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
ok Droid_X_Doug...do the math for me, and tell me why that the Android phone they purchased is because of the screen siz.. please..
"Add up the sales of the Android handsets with screen size larger than 3.5 inches. "
138. remixfa (Posts: 14600; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
android phones range from 3.1 inches to 4.52 inches, gallito. There are dozens of models under 4 inches. see.. this magical thing happens when you have choice.. you get to choose your own screen sweet spot.. not be told what it is.
its also a magical coincidence that most all WP7 phones are 4+ inches, even symbian phones are starting to look the same.. and peter's favorite.. BADA is popin at 4 inches now.
its either the entire world is wrong, or you are. hmmmmm..
139. vette21man (Posts: 351; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
However, that is the FIRST 4+ inch screen phone they have ever bought. I'd like another poll taken with the following:
"After owning a 4+ inch screen phone for a year, what size screen will your next smart phone have?"
I think we have to take into account that these 4+ inch screen consumers bought partially into the hype and allure of larger screens. Has their opinion of large screens changed after owning one for a year?
For example, my friend had an EVO 4G for over a year, and they now have an iPhone 4S.
150. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
indeed. Why does Apple insist on a one size fit all approach for their phones? They have a lot of various models of PCs and music players, everything from the mac mini to mac pro, and their music players everything from the Ipod Shuffle to the Ipod touch. Here's hoping next year they will at least have one other phone model with a larger screen. Even if that's the only difference to the standard 3.5 inch model, there will be a lot of people that want it. There may be demand for a smaller size too, but small sized smartphones tend to sell poorly.
162. vu2ikl (Posts: 11; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
The diagram is interesting. It shows the area sweepable by normal sized thumb. So it's overall size of mobile not the screen size which should matter. HTC Desire S has comparable size.. a couple of mm here and there. but it has 3.7inch size unlike 3.5inch of iphone. IMO that is much better.
164. ladyhaly (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
They could provide MORE choices. Not get rid of the existing models. The fact is that not every is the same. There is no one right way for existing and trying to label people in doing so is the reason why there are people like Hitler who would kill millions of Jews for being Jews.
Is it so much for a company whose budget exceeds the budget of the national government to actually provide more choices for their consumers? Is it too much to acknowledge that there are different kinds of users?
165. ladyhaly (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
If they did, I would have bought one a year ago. But it would ruin the image of Apple being all authoritarian-like.


text:
A/N: I was supposed to be writing an English paper. Writing this was far more interesting. It's rather intriguing, writing for a character that has no frame of reference. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
John had officially moved out of 221B Baker Street a month after Sherlock's death, largely because without a roommate John simply couldn't afford to continue living there by himself. Surprisingly, Mycroft had rather generously offered to continue paying the other half of the rent (John had suspected at the time that he still felt guilty about revealing Sherlock's life to Moriarty), but the fact remained that there were simply too many memories of Sherlock at Baker Street. Consequently, John had relocated to a tiny flat on the outskirts of London finding a job at a small hospital nearby, effectively distancing himself from any and all places or people that would remind him of the consulting detective. He had made no effort to keep in contact with any of his old acquaintances, though Mrs. Hudson occasionally still sent him letters along with care packages containing biscuits or whatever it was she happened to be baking (there had been one memorable time she had mailed him a pie, which had miraculously remained intact). The fact that John never replied to anything she sent didn't seem to deter her much.
The one thing his self-imposed isolation did little to influence was John's frequent trips to visit Sherlock's grave. It had become a weekly habit of his, and he went no matter how busy his week had been or how bad the weather was. He had seen very few others, though he had run into Lestrade there a couple of times (both times had been rather awkward, neither of them quite sure what to say to the other). So naturally it came as a bit of a surprise to John when he approached Sherlock's tombstone one day only to find someone already standing there.
Sebastian Moran was not, as a general rule, a very sentimental person. As a professional sniper, it would have been extremely detrimental to his career to spend excessive amounts of time agonizing over every death he encountered (especially seeing as most of the death he had seen he had brought about himself). But Sebastian found himself unable to dismiss Jim Moriarty's death the same way he had disregarded countless others. Jim Moriarty had been different. Jim Moriarty had been so very human. Of course, he had also been an insane, brilliant, sadistic, borderline bi-polar madman who liked to blow people up when he was bored, but he had been so much more than that. There was Jim Moriarty, consulting criminal mastermind, but then there had also been Jim Moriarty, the genius mathematics professor whose greatest pleasure was helping a student finally understand an equation or concept. There had been Jim Moriarty, the man who liked Jammie Dodgers, jazz music, spearmint gum, cats, fantasy novels, and the color green. There had been Jim Moriarty, the man who had helped Sebastian find purpose in his life again after being sent back, injured, from Afghanistan.
And it hurt a lot more than Sebastian expected that there was nothing to commemorate that man's life.
Since there was no grave for him to visit, Sebastian had to settle for the closest thing he could get: the tombstone of Jim's arch nemesis Sherlock Holmes. It was the closest thing he had to proof that Jim Moriarty had ever existed. When he found himself feeling exceptionally emotional he would drop by the cemetery, which is where he found himself on the six month anniversary of Jim's death.
John hung back trying to figure out if he had any reason to know the man standing at Sherlock's grave. He got the feeling he had seen the man somewhere before, though he couldn't figure out why exactly. The man was well over six feet tall with brown hair cut military style, making John wonder if he had possibly ever met him while serving in the army, though he doubted it. John remembered all of the soldiers he had served with and this man had definitely not been one of them.
As if sensing his presence, the man turned, tensing when he spotted John looking at him, though he quickly relaxed, face shifting to a politely puzzled expression. John moved forward to introduce himself, hoping that maybe the man's name would jog hiss memory somehow.
"Hi, I'm John Watson," he said extending his hand. The man stared at him for a second before shaking his hand.
"Sebastian Moran," the man offered in return and John was a bit disappointed that he didn't recognize the name.
"Did you know Sherlock, then?" he asked, part of him still trying to figure out who exactly Sebastian Moran was, part of him genuinely curious.
"You could say that," the man replied. "Don't think he knew who I was, though." The man continued, a wry smile tugging at his lips.
"Yeah, he wasn't the friendliest bloke in the world, was he?" John said, finding himself returning the smile.
"No, he really wasn't," Sebastian agreed. "To be completely honest I wasn't actually here for him," he admitted, looking a bit sheepish. "A… friend of mine died around the same time."
"Oh, sorry to hear that," John said. Sebastian waved off his apology and they lapsed into silence, both staring at the grave in front of them.
Sebastian could sense someone staring at him, a sixth sense born from both life in the army and life as a criminal. He turned, feeling his body stiffen as he recognized the person to be none other than John Watson. He forced himself to loosen up, arranging his features into a look of confusion, trying to remember that Watson had no reason to recognize him. He felt himself actually beginning to relax as it became clear that Watson had no idea who he was and soon he found himself enjoying a companionable silence with the doctor as they both remembered the men they had lost, though Sebastian suspected it wouldn't be nearly as comfortable if Watson knew that Sebastian had once had a sniper rifle pointed at his head while Jim had strapped him to a bomb.
"So, this friend of yours," Watson began, breaking the silence. "Were you particularly close?"
Sebastian though about it for a moment. Jim didn't really have 'friends'. He had clients, colleagues, and employees, among other things, but he didn't feel right categorizing himself as just an employee. "I think I was the only person he considered a friend," he replied truthfully after another moment's pause.
Watson nodded. "I think I know the feeling." Sebastian remembered Jim commenting on Holmes' unusual relationship with Watson, often coming up with unusual labels for it when he was bored, his favorite being 'platonic life partners'.
"If you don't mind my asking, how did he die?" Watson asked, distracting Sebastian from his memories of the consulting criminal.
"Killed himself," Sebastian answered, voice clipped. He didn't particularly enjoy the mental images that inevitably followed when he thought about Jim's suicide.
"Oh," Watson managed rather awkwardly. Then something seemed to click in his mind and Sebastian could see him beginning to put the clues together.
"I'm sorry about Sherlock," he threw out, in a somewhat desperate attempt to distract the doctor from figuring out that he was associated with Jim. Slowing his words down he continued, "When I read about his suicide, I was surprised. He seemed like a great man."
"He might even have been a good one," Watson murmured and Sebastian gave an inward sigh of relief that the diversion worked. After a few more moments of neither man saying anything, Watson spoke up in an attempt to steer the conversation away from Sherlock's death, which Sebastian was only too happy to allow. "Were you ever a soldier?"
"Yes. I was a sniper in Afghanistan," Sebastian replied, immediately regretting that he just admitted his profession.
"I was stationed there, too," Watson remarked, looking surprised at the coincidence.
"I know," Sebastian told him. The doctor gave him a quizzical look. "I used to enjoy reading your blog," he admitted with a small smile.
"Ah," Watson responded, looking rather pleased at that. "Always nice to meet a fan."
"Always nice to meet an author," Sebastian replied before checking his watch and realizing he was about to be late for a job.
"Late for something?" Watson inquired.
"Yes, actually," Sebastian nodded, "Sorry to cut this short, but my work won't do itself. Maybe I'll see you around, though, yeah?" He turned to leave, not waiting for the doctor to reply. As he began walking, he heard Watson call out.
"See you, then!"
John lingered at the grave for a while, though admittedly his thoughts were farther from Sherlock and closer to one Sebastian Moran. There was something nagging at the back of his mind. Moran had admitted to being a sniper, and while there was nothing inherently suspicious about being a sniper (John was friends with one, in fact), there was something about this particular sniper that set off a warning in John's head. The only thing he kept coming back to was the friend Moran had mentioned. He had been described as someone who didn't have many friends apparently. Someone who had committed suicide around the same time Sherlock had. Someone who may have a connection to Sherlock, considering that his friend was visiting Sherlock's grave.
Suddenly everything clicked and John's stomach gave an unpleasant lurch.
Moriarty. Sebastian Moran had been at the cemetery because of Moriarty. John had just had a conversation with a man who considered himself to be Moriarty's friend, and who also happened to be a military-trained sniper.
John groaned, sinking onto the ground. He had a feeling that his life was about to get complicated again.
Sebastian got out of a taxi, case in hand. He went to the nearest building, an abandoned row of flats. Moving to the closest one, he easily picked the lock and went straight up to the roof. Once there, he set the case next to the edge and opened it, revealing his AWSM. He assembled the rifle quickly and easily, well used to the motions by now. As his hands worked, he found his mind wandering, thinking about John Watson as well as Sherlock Holmes and Jim Moriarty. He wondered if Watson had figured out the friend he had been talking about had been Jim. He hoped so. Watson had proven surprisingly good company, and Sebastian figured it could be fun to see where their acquaintanceship could end up going. He would hate to have to continue lying to the man.
Once his sniper rifle was fully assembled he focused his thoughts and crouched down, stabling his weapon on the ledge of the roof. Looking through the sight, he aimed the barrel at the office building opposite from him. He allowed himself a smile as his target came into view. Nothing like a bit of murder to make his day complete.
A/N: I actually did a little bit of research into sniper rifles to write that last part, though it's probably not noticeable at all. The Arctic Warfare Super Magnum was the rifle used by CoH Craig Harrison (of the U.K.!) when he made the longest kill shot recorded (2,475 m).
Also, I only did a minimal amount of editing since it is 3 a.m., and I really do have an English paper that needs to be completed, so sorry if it's a bit rushed.
So, love it? Hate it? Want to hire a sniper to shoot me through the head with .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge for writing it? (Yes, I obviously have sniper rifles on the brain.) Let me know!

text: Telecentres Provide Internet Connectivity for Ordinary Fijians SUVA, Fiji, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Approximately 60,000 Fijians will gain access to the internet for the first time as the Fijian Government opens "Telecentres" in schools across the country. Each Telecentre offers schoolchildren and members of the surrounding community access to Dell and Lenovo computers connected to the Internet, web cameras, headsets, document scanners and printing services - free of charge. The Attorney-General and Minister for Communications, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, said that the Telecentre project was one of Government's most important initiatives. "Providing free Internet access to ordinary Fijians is one the best ways we can empower our people," he said. "It connects them to the world, offers them exciting new opportunities, and provides them access to important information." The Telecentres will be used by school children during school hours and by the rest of the community after hours and on weekends. This includes many ordinary villagers and farmers who have never had Internet access before. The first Telecentres were launched by the Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama, in October 2011, at Suva Sangam College, Levuka Public School, and Rakiraki Public High School. Recently, Telecentres were opened by the Prime Minister at Baulevu High School and Tailevu North College in the Central Division and by the Attorney-General at Nukuloa College in the Western Division. Another five will open at locations around the country in the coming weeks, followed by ten more later in the year. "20 Telecentres will be operational by this time next year," the Attorney-General said. "And we believe that at a direct result of this initiative, approximately 60,000 Fijians – including 5,000 students – will gain access to the Internet."

Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences
|Adrian Randolph
Academic staff
|600+ [1]
|4,300+ [1]
|Evanston, Illinois, USA
The Judd A. and Marjorie Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences (WCAS or Weinberg College) is the largest of the twelve schools comprising Northwestern University, located in Evanston, Illinois and downtown Chicago, Illinois. It was established in 1851 and today comprises 25 departments and many specialty programs.
Weinberg enrolls students in its classes from all of Northwestern's undergraduate schools, including the Medill School of Journalism, School of Music, McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, School of Communication, and School of Education and Social Policy. All faculty members in Weinberg teach undergraduate students.
About 3 percent of student enrollments are in courses taught exclusively by teaching assistants, mostly in small introductory courses in foreign languages; all other courses are taught by professors.[2] The number of men and women in Weinberg is about equal; 30 percent of undergraduates belong to racial or ethnic minorities. Students also come from all 50 states; Illinois is the home of the largest number of students, followed by California, Ohio, and New York. Seven percent of Weinberg students are from foreign countries.[2]
Weinberg has 15 interdisciplinary programs that offer minors or majors. These include American studies, European studies, Integrated Science Program (ISP), Legal Studies, Mathematical Experience for Northwestern Undergraduates (MENU), Mathematical Methods in the Social Sciences (MMSS), and the Writing Major. Each of these programs has special admissions requirements.[2]
Each first-year student in Weinberg is required to take two "First-Year Seminars," 15 or 16 students in each, focused on the development of writing and discussion skills. A first-year student's typical schedule each quarter includes a small class of 15 students, a class of 20-25 students, and two larger lecture courses. Last year fewer than 10 of more than 2000 courses in Weinberg College enrolled over 300 students.[2]
Each year, faculty members associated with several of Northwestern's graduate programs teach undergraduates. Professors from the Kellogg School of Management offer courses in accounting, finance, and marketing especially designed for Weinberg students. Law School faculty each year teach several undergraduate courses in Weinberg as well. Weinberg also has special agreements with Chicago's major cultural institutions, including the Field Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Adler Planetarium, Chicago Botanic Garden, and American Bar Foundation, to offer courses taught by Chicago-area experts.[2]
Degree Requirements[edit]
Degree requirements specify that each Weinberg student should demonstrate writing and foreign language proficiency (by taking certain courses), complete two first-year seminars (small specialized courses with 15 students), complete two courses in each area of distribution requirements (two units must be completed in each of the following areas: Natural Sciences, Formal Studies, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Historical Studies, Ethics and Values, and Literature and Fine Arts), and complete a WCAS major.[3] Weinberg graduates receive the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Philosophy degree.[4]
