It's that time of year again. The time many of us have waited for–counting the months, weeks, and days (and some of us, the hours) until we could gather around the tree on Christmas Day. In honor of Santa's big night, we have rounded up some of our coziest, most inviting Christmas settings over the years. From colorful and bright to […]
What You Didn't See: The December Issue
While the December issue of Southern Living is full of merry wreaths and cheery Christmas trees, there is no shortage of sunny skies, fresh cocktails, and gorgeous interiors from across the South. From behind-the-scenes bar shots to a sneak peek at some of our favorite holiday decor, here's what you didn't see in the December issue:
Here's a Look at Fall's Favorites
Has anyone been outside lately? It looks like the South has survived the brutal end of summer once again. Stiff, suffocating heat has given way to fall's crisp breezes and pleasant skies, and treetops are adorned in gold.

Seat Pad Construction for Bomber Seats
So now I need to make some backing boards for the seat bottom & back pads. My upholstery guy asked me to come up with something good and stiff. I think this is so his padding and cover work wont shift or look bad after they're installed, which I can certainly understand. The problem is I cant decide what to use. We talked about using 3/8 to 1/2 plywood. I'm worried that with plywood that thick that it will be almost impossible to bend, even if you soak it in water for awhile. He mentioned I could also use aluminum to make the panels.
The seat backs have a gentle curve to fit your back. The bottoms are mainly flat but they do kick up quite a bit right at your thigh.
So what would a suitable matrial be? Needs to be stiff. Right now I'm leaning towards the aluminum panels. I can get the stuff from work (paid for of course)so that's not a problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions for material or how to work it into the shapes/curves I need.
Maybe ABS plastic? I use it for all my panels. Its super tough, easy to cut and you can mold it to your seat profile with a heat gun.
PVC foamboard (expanded PVC) can be heated and bent at lower temperatures than ABS, and it's also way less expensive than ABS. A 4' by 8' sheet of 6MM pvc foamboard is about $60 from a sheet plastic supplier. You can cut it with standard woodworking tools, and it can be stapled to. It's also lighter weight. I would think 1/4" (6MM) thick would be plenty.
Here's some 3MM PVC foamboard formed with heat and used as a headliner. CLICK HERE

Furman makes his mark at Oldham
Dean Furman has been named Oldham Athletic's Player of the Month after making an impressive start to the season.
Furman, 22, scored long-range goals against Notts County and Charlton from central midfield to claim the award for August.
Furman hopes that his industrious displays will help catch the eye of South African coach Pitso Mosimane ahead of the 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
But for now, he is concentrating on Oldham's promotion push. Furman said: "We are very happy with the first few games and to be four games unbeaten in the league is a great start."
Joe Jacobson has reiterated his desire to stay at Oldham. The left-back was placed on the transfer market by manager Paul Dickov but having finally returned to full fitness after an injury-plagued year, he said: "The manager hasn't seen a lot of me and I'm determined to show him what I can do and get back in the first team."
Gai Assulin has reportedly undergone knee surgery. The 19-year-old Israeli midfielder is believed to have pulled out of a trial at Manchester City last month but we understand that he will be given a further chance to prove himself at Eastlands when he recovers.

Queen Elizabeth II's Carlton House, who performed at the highest level in both hemispheres during a racing career that spanned four years, will stand at Darley's Kelvinside Stud in Australia for the upcoming Southern Hemisphere season.
Sir Michael Stoute trained Carlton House in England before he joined trainer Gai Waterhouse to race in Australia, beginning in 2013. He made what was to be his final career start April 14 at Royal Randwick in a race named for his owner, the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Aus-I), finishing third.
The 6-year-old son of Street Cry —Talented, by Bustino, was bred by in Kentucky by Sheikh Maktoum's Darley and posted an overall record of 4-3-2 from 15 starts while earning $1,274,862. He was a gift to Queen Elizabeth from Sheikh Mohammed.
For Stoute, Carlton House won a pair of group II races in England—the Totesport Dante Stakes (Eng-II) and the Betfair Brigadier Gerard (Eng-III)--and finished third to Pour Moi in the 2011 Investec Epsom Derby (Eng-I) and second to So You Think in the 2012 Prince of Wales (Eng-I) at Royal Ascot.
In addition to the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, the bay horse placed in two other stakes from five Australian starts, including his runner-up finish in the Ranvet Rawson Stakes (Aus-I) March 22 at Rosehill Gardens.
"Carlton House is such a magnificent and correct individual," said John Warren, Queen Elizabeth's bloodstock and racing adviser. "He is by one of the most important stallions in the world. Carlton House proved he was high class from the moment he won his 2-year-old maiden at Newbury by nine lengths and he was rated up there with the very best."
Alastair Pulford, Darley's head of sales in Australia, said the farm was delighted to be standing Carlton House alongside his sire on the Kelvinside roster.
"Carlton House possessed the precocity to be a tearaway winner at 2, but had that famous Street Cry durability which saw him mixing it with the best at 6," he said.
"His pedigree is top class and he is a complete outcross for Danehill, Danzig and other Northern Dancer line stallions."
Carlton House will stand at Kelvinside in New South Wales for Aus$16,500.

How to recover your QuickBooks product and license numbers
I wanted to move my QuickBooks installation to a new computer, but I had no record of my license number and product number. The solution? Run regedit and view registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Intuit/QuickBooksRegistration/15.0/pro. (I have a license for the "pro" version of QuickBooks.) Look for entries with names like InstallID and LicenseNumber. LicenseNumber is your license number, and InstallID is your product ID. I recovered my license and product numbers, installed QuickBooks on the new PC, and I was all set.

Pretty sure F2 won't give you both parts, just your serial number. Very sure you can't reinstall without the product ID also.

What really sux is that I had to reinstall QB2001 Pro and found that there was no more support from Intuit to allow me to manually update to R6. Since my QB files had all been updated to this last version of QB2001 Pro, and now it was reinstalled as the out-of-the-box R1 version, I could no longer access my QB files!! I was stuck! Intuit no longer had the R6 update file for download. What's more, they said that the newest versions of QB Pro could not read or update a file from that old a version of QB Pro, and that I would have to subsequently submit the file to them and pay them to update the file to eventually be able to be read by 2013 (niiice, this means they still have and use the older versions of QB (and each subsequent release) at headquarters tech support for just these types of problems, but YOU'RE never going to get access to them. Soooo I bought a 2004 version since it appeared that they still had support for this version -- but NNOOOOO, although they list it as supported still, they do not provide ANY updates/downloadable release files for it either!!!! Can you say "SCAM"?? However, the silver lining is that 2004 in its out-of-the-box install was able to read and update my old 2001 files with no problems. And using Richard's registry trick I was able to get QB2004 running (incidentally, if you do not insert a valid registration number, you WILL not get to use QB2004 after the 15th usage of the program!)

Thanks for the info Richard. I called QuickBooks technical support and they said license information was not written in the Windows registry like I thought it might be. I registered the software but it was 5 years ago, no record. Sharp technical support folks in India.

I have a Quick books 2007 premier version. When freshly installed it allows me 10 times to use the program and if I do not activate it it will go to view only mode. Then you are stuck with a program that you can not make changes to your file. I have found a way to get another 10 times thing. All you have to do is follow as richard instructed at top of this post. When you see all the registry items, right click on QBMode and MODIFY. replace whatever number is there with 0000a41e0a7c. This code will give you 9 times running the program in full mode. Once you run out of 9 times you can simply modify the registry and put the same number again for another 9 times. Everytime you open the QB it assigns a specific number to this registry and they are identical every time. I am assuming that the other version of QB also work on the same principle. So try it and good luck. This solution is not a permanent fix but it does get you going if you are stuck and cant get the QB tech support to assist you with real activation due to program no longer being supported.

Feminism and Education: The Truth About Student Loans
I would argue that the most difficult thing about the entire process of higher level, collegiate education is not getting in, though that is what the public conversation at large is about. The most difficult, troubling part of higher education is paying for it once you do get in. Even with financial aid, even with other scholarships, so many people end up with crippling debt by the end of their college years.
These past few months, I've watched my class celebrate getting into college. Then I've watched everybody have an "Oh, shit" moment trying to figure out where the money is going to come from to fund the next four years of their life. I've watched brilliant people decide to go to schools they are beyond over-qualified for because they were offered more financial aid. I've watch people resign themselves to the reality of student loans (in fact, 2/3 of college graduates right now have student loans). A lot of kids my age approach student loans as an inevitable necessity. They figure they'll take out the loan then pay it back once they graduate and get a high paying job.
Here's the thing though. Really good jobs are hard to come by these days, and they're getting scarcer by the minute. Then faced with the reality that student loans involve interest, forebarance, penalities and all of this stuff that can double or even TRIPLE the amount you owe based on your original loan, the prospect of paying back these loans slowly becomes further and further out of reach. But what does an 18-year-old, signing on to these payment plans, know about that? The whole college process is huge, daunting and overwhelming, that that reality often gets buried in the muddle.
And here is where I start to get really, really pissed. As a feminist, ESPECIALLY as a teenage feminist, this issue is incredibly relevant to my life and to the people in this community. I believe that education in all forms is the answer to so many of the problems that feminists combat. As a country, as a society, we need to be better educated. But how can we – teenagers, the future of this country and this world – better educate ourselves and better prepare ourselves to face all of this shit older generations have gotten us into, when those same generations are making those tools completely unaffordable and, thus, unavailable? Older generations are pushing us into lifelong debt, which the process of paying off will preoccupy our talents and energy – the same talents and energy that could be put towards actually SOLVING some of these huge problems. And even in one of the best-case scenarios, when kids are able to pay for college due to scholarships and financial – but they're receiving an inadequate education in accordance to their level of intelligence, and thus are not reaching their full potential (read: we are not putting to use some of the greatest minds available to use) – we know we have a really big problem.
There are a lot of reasons why the world is so fucked up right now. But let me tell you, virtually ALL of them could be solved, or at least alleviated, by better educating the masses. And when that option because unaffordable, and therefore not an option at ALL, we're seriously impeding all progress. And as a feminists, as human beings, the fact that these problems all have a fairly basic answer (education, if you haven't been paying attention) which we are making impossible because of capitalism makes me really, really angry.
I know that student loans isn't the sexiest topic to cover here on the FBomb, but it's so incredibly relevant to our lives (and, yes, my life right now as a rising college freshman) that I had to bring it up. I've really only skimmed the surface of this problem here, and thankfully there are people who are doing really great work in raising awareness about this issue. For example, there's been a documentary made about student loans – Default: The Student Loan Documentary.
The bottom line is we need systemic change. But until then – and this is especially a message for younger FBomb readers who have yet to face the college process – educate yourself about all of your options and be aware of the truth of student loan debt. It's not something that teens are really educated about, or even aware about at all until it's an immediate option, but you owe it to yourself to find out the truth.

I graduated from college a year ago. I finally got a job in April after being part of the unemployed portion of America for 6 months. I'm currently budgeting and saving up to move into my own apartment. I have to pay $190 each month for student loans and I'm going to have to do this for probably 15 years. It's depressing and infuriating how much debt college gives you. And it's not like I got some amazing job that would easily pay back my loans…I'm going to be struggling to make these payments. I went through college to come out living flat out broke.
Oliver Leon @ at 2:53 pm, May 30th, 2011
OK, so I can't entirely relate, being Canadian and having better security when it comes to paying off this crap. But I'm currently in the midst of applying for a student loan and I gotta tell ya, I am not excited. I don't want to have to pay off tens of thousands of dollars for education when I could be traveling or starting a business or building a queer community center.
O'Phylia @ at 6:13 pm, May 30th, 2011
I'm a junior in college, and right now, here is my advice:
Look for them high and low. Ask your parents if they'll look for you while you're studying and whatnot. I'm not joking.
And keep studying, and beware of depression that is caused by overwork. It's real.
A @ at 7:54 pm, May 30th, 2011
I'm going to be a high school junior next year, so this is coming perilously close. I have so many college friends who have had to make crazy decisions and work incredibly hard to afford college.
Also- "There are a lot of reasons why the world is so fucked up right now. But let me tell you, virtually ALL of them could be solved, or at least alleviated, by better educating the masses. And when that option because unaffordable, and therefore not an option at ALL, we're seriously impeding all progress." – that is positively brilliant, Julie.

As an extremely poor high school sophomore who's done lots of research on scholarships, it's really very easy to get a lot of them. For students who have the financial need, aid is given readily, and scholarships are really very easy to find.

Great post but I think your "pissed off-ed-ness" is misplaced. You talk of "older generations" getting you into lifelong debt. That's completely innaccurate. This has been happening for a long time. I'm nearly twice your age and I have a massive amount of student debt. this is not the fault of "older generations" but a major problem with our system. The government guarentees lenders will get their money back with interest on these loans and allow them to go to lengths that only the IRS is allowed to go to to acquire the money. You're on the right track in thinking twice about not wanting to take on debt before you graduate college. But blaming the wrong person is a classic symptom of the "divide and conquer" strategy of the elites. As long as you blame some of the people who are equally affected by this problem, you'll never see that the real enemy is the system itself – and those in charge!

As someone who is going to be a college senior, it doesn't really matter where you go for undergrad. I'm "overqualified" for my university, but that means I can be a star student, but I'm not going massively into debt before graduate school. Getting into a grad school with a big name is a bigger deal, and state universities or colleges that are "below" your level can be challenging and offer lots of opportunities for a lower price!

@Ramy I think you misunderstood. I'm blaming older generations for creating many of the world PROBLEMS that we won't be able to solve because of the debt that blockades us from education. However, there ARE people of older generations who are enforcing this debt (not all, obviously, but some) and there are people of older generations who have more power to do something about this than me and my teen peers. Although I recognize that there are systemic issues at play as well.

In Britain our student loan situation has just changed for the worse, and one of the commentators, talking about social mobility, said that one of the biggest changes that have lowered social mobility is the education of women, because we'd be getting the jobs that the hard working lower class boys could have originally got. Like educating women isn't social mobility in and of itself. Sheesh.
Former College Idiot @ at 1:21 am, June 28th, 2011
It amazes me to listen to people's comments on topics so difficult as this one is. College education has become the "fountain of debt" in our society and people can't stop drinking from it. Billions of dollars are wasted on degrees where students never get to use the skills they learned. Hopefully our economy changes.

Many thanks for this article. I will also like to convey that it can end up being hard if you are in school and starting out to establish a long credit history. There are many scholars who are just trying to survive and have a good or good credit history can sometimes be a difficult issue to have.

Hi Everyone,
I'm hoping someone can provide some insight on this issue since the service department at the local dealership have been of little help. We purchased a 2012 Civic LX in October of this year and everything was fine until the cold weather struck. One morning when the temperature was below freezing, I went out to unlock the car with the key fob. The lights flashed, I heard a noise, but none of the doors would open. This problem resolved itself when the temperature rose during the day, but the same issue repeated itself the next morning when the cold weather returned.
Once I had access to the vehicle later in the day, I changed the door lock programming to allow all doors to open with one press on the key fob rather than none of them opening if the driver's door did not unlock. This helped on the next cold morning, as only the driver's door would not unlock now, which isolated the issue. While inside the car, I tried the lock/unlock buttons on the driver's door. All other locks in the car locked and unlocked, but the driver's lock did not move. The same thing happened when I used the key fob. I tried to manually push the lock button open like you would in an older car, but the lock would not budge.
I have an appointment with Honda in a week, but I was hoping to get some ideas as to the problem from anyone here that may have experienced something similar or have heard of this problem.

From Trainers to Educators: Librarians and the challenge of change
Peacock, Judith A. (1999) From Trainers to Educators: Librarians and the challenge of change. In Booker, Di (Ed.) , Challenge, Conundrum: From Library Skills to Information Literacy - 4th National Information Literacy Conference, December 3 - 5, 1999, Adelaide, South Australia.
|PDF (807kB)
A key strategy for the development of lifelong learners is the integration of information literacy principles and skills into course curriculum. To enable such a strategy, librarians must develop their teaching expertise and foster educational partnerships with course designers and academics.
It is essential that pre-service courses and library staff development programs provide opportunities for the development of teaching skills, knowledge and abilities. This will enable shared understandings of teaching and learning outcomes between, and strengthen teaching partnerships with, academics and librarians, thereby facilitating the integration of Information Literacy into the curriculum. For the librarians, these programs can foster confidence in their own teaching abilities and add value to their personal contributions to the educational process. This approach to staff development also emphasises the educational role of the Library in a teaching and learning environment.
This paper briefly examines the potential benefits of this philosophy for both the library teaching staff and information literacy in higher education and identifies the elements which may be addressed in a staff development program, such as curriculum design, learning outcomes, learning styles and evaluation. It will also highlight a range of options for staff development programs and discuss issues for future consideration.

The decision of MLS's disciplinary committee to fine New York Red Bulls star Thierry Henry $2,000 but not suspend him for kicking a dead ball that injured FC
Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman did not sit well with Hartman's agent, Ron Waxman.
"The members of the disciplinary committee should be embarrassed and ashamed," Waxman told Steven Goff of the Washington Post's Soccer Insider. "It's either no punishment or there must be a suspension. I'm sorry to discover that they've established a double standard for the treatment of their marquee players as opposed to the treatment of their rank and file."
Henry escaped a suspension that will allow him to play in Friday's marquee match between the Red Bulls and Los Angeles Galaxy. Hartman is expected to be sidelined 2-3 weeks with a knee injury suffered when he touched the ball just as Henry struck it.

Gators Mickey Marotti Leaving to Join Meyer at OSU
Published December 5th, 2011
Loading Video...
The poaching has begun, as Gators strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti is leaving for colder pastures in Columbus, Ohio to join former Gators and future Ohio State coach Urban Meyer's football staff. Marotti was brought to UF by Meyer back in January 2005 and was a key component to building strong and conditioned Florida football teams on the way to two national championships. Gators head coach Will Muschamp said he would not rush into making a quick hire, as he views the position a critical one to fill due to extensive contact with players during the off-season.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Canucks Playing 'Ugly' Hockey
by Paul on 02/02/13 at 11:22 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Tony Gallagher of the Vancouver Province,
Let's be honest. This team, at the moment, is not providing anywhere near the same level of entertainment it once did for its loyal fans, who pay top dollar around the league.
With the games bunched the way they have been, and will be the rest of the way, the Canucks often appear tired and determined to play the game as cautiously as possible.
The coach loves his team to play that way — management not quite so much — but both are probably right in being justifiably proud of what's been achieved to date, in terms of hanging on until the cavalry arrives.

Based on the balanced equation
2Ba + O2 → 2BaO
calculate the number of BaO formula units formed when 142 Ba atoms and 73 O2 molecules react?
You know it's a limiting reagent problem when both of the starting materials are given. You must determine which is the limiting reagent.
Two calculations will do it.
142 Ba x (2 moles BaO/2 moles Ba) = 142 x 1/1 = 142 BaO molecules formed.
73 O2 x (2 moles BaO/1 moles O2) = 73 x (1/2) = 146 BaO molecules formed.
Both answers can't be correct; the correct one is ALWAYS the smaller. Therefore Ba is the limiting reagent and 142 BaO molecules (formula units) will be formed. Some of the oxygen will remain unreacted. You can determine how much is left easily.
142 Ba atoms x (1 mole O2/2 moles BaO) = 142 x (1/2) = 71 molecules O2 used. We had 73 initially; therefore, 73-71 = 2 molecules O2 remain unreacted.

Has new shocks, struts, ball joints, radiator, all new hoses. Was told it had a tree limb put a hole in the top this last storm but looked pretty cheap on ebay, the back seat has sun cracking has been painted with black vinyl paint, has a small dimple dent in the passenger side door, I just put in a brand new starter and sometimes takes as few turns of the key to start (maybe ignition switch). I pulled the rear diff cover and it has 2:73 gears, fresh gear lube and seal. Located in Vicksburg 49097 asking $3,200.00. Open to offers on Regular Cab Trucks, Jeep Cherokee, Cars, John Deere Garden Tractors, Boats, etc .. I am trying to be as honest as possible and describe everything. If you have questions let me know. Nice start to a cool car and parts are all over the place for fox bodies. I have titled and insured the car. As I keep the car more and more of the small things are being taken care of as its a fun car to mess around with. Sold / Traded AS-IS $3,200.00...can call/text
Referring to the comment by jodyota , he said the the top of the drivers side sub frame is bent in alittle as you can see in the picture of true engine bay. At some point in the cars life it must have hit something. That said, from what I have noticed driving the car it is totally un effected.

True Teen Stories
Here are a few true stories from fellow teenagers, taken from our book, The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens: 8 Steps to Having More Money Than Your Parents Ever Dreamed Of. For more stories, suggestions and ideas from fellow teens, check out the book.
The Rewards of Saving
When I was about 14, I decided that I would be proactive with money, so I got a part-time job at a local deli. With my first paycheck, I realized that I would have to work awfully hard to make very little money. My supervisor had been making just above minimum wage for 20 years, and I knew I didn't want to spend the rest of my life working to death. Around the same time, my godparents took me to an investment workshop. Immediately, my eyes were opened to the power of compound growth in investing. I knew that this was a way to financial freedom. I left the workshop determined to make my money work for me instead of just me working for money.
Honoring what my mother had taught me, to share whatever I had, I donated a portion of my paychecks to raise money for breast cancer, and saved everything else to build up a large enough nest egg to open a brokerage account. Too excited to wait, I began reading everything I could about investing. With most of my life savings (which wasn't very much money), I invested in DuPont, AT&T, Caterpillar, and International Paper. The pride in being a shareholder in a company, along with watching my stocks increase in value, fueled my desire to learn more. I went to three more investment workshops with my godparents and browsed books at the library.
I began with $4,000 in my account and have added about $2,000 since then. My portfolio is now worth roughly $12,000, five years later, having grown about 18% per year, on average. Some of my favorite holdings are Procter & Gamble and two biotechnology companies that I know a fair amount about because they're based near me.
In the years since then, I have experienced many moments of gratitude for discovering investing so early in my life. I'm in college now, and plan to go onto medical school and become a family practice physician. And I know that, thanks to investing, my road will be much easier. Not only have I taken a proactive step towards improving my long-term financial future, but I am confident that I will also be able to generously support the causes I believe in with more ease than I otherwise would have imagined. -- Tacy Holliday, 19
A Jumpstart on the Future
From the very start, my parents encouraged me to save half of my earnings. It first felt like a chore to "give" my money to the bank, but I eventually realized that I was actually paying myself. When I was about 12, my parents urged me to start investing small amounts, such as $150 to $200, in the stocks of my choice. My eyes were wide with the prospect of riches, but I didn't really know how to go about finding promising companies and researching them.
In the summer of 1998, I attended CompuFest, an annual conference held by the National Association of Investors Corporation. In their youth program, I learned how to research a company, to evaluate the criteria that make a good investment, such as good management, a relatively low P/E ratio, good growth rate and solid prospects for future growth. I bought my first stock, in the Applebee's restaurant chain, when I was about 13. My approach to finding stocks has changed over the years.
These days I often visit investing websites to get ideas -- but I never buy a stock without first researching its history and management thoroughly. I expect to make money in the stock market if I invest for the long term. I'm currently saving for college -- and eventually a house, once I'm out of college. I think it's essential to learn how to invest at a young age, to have a jumpstart on the future. -- Tina Dressel, 18
A Dripping Teen
I became interested in investing when I got my first job as a waiter. I had money that I'd saved and wanted to buy stocks like my parents. When I turned 16, I opened an account with my mom at a local brokerage. I then bought my first two stocks: $200 worth of General Electric and $200 worth of Abbott Labs, a pharmaceutical company. I picked these companies using information I gathered from books and online discussion boards.
After buying my first stocks, I gained confidence and wanted to keep investing. It was if I had been on a swaying bridge and had finally set foot on solid ground. I continued to learn more and kept putting money in my brokerage account. I then bought stock in several other well-known companies, including AT&T, Cisco Systems, Intel, Pfizer, and WorldCom. As I learned more, I sold my first shares of GE and Abbott Labs, reinvesting the money in a "Drip" (dividend reinvestment plan) with Pfizer. Dripping is my favorite way to invest, because it's so inexpensive. I currently Drip both Pfizer and Duke Energy.
I pick my stocks using the principles of Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch. I like companies that steadily increase earnings and have high profit margins, with room to grow. I also like to see little or no debt. I prefer companies whose products are used by everyone, products without which the world would be different. Can you imagine the world without medicine and computers?
I've had many good stock picks and a few bad ones. My best has been my Pfizer Drip, which has grown steadily. Another good one has been AT&T. I invested $380 into AT&T, and it is now worth $510. My worst pick has been Cisco Systems, which I bought at $50 per share and watched go all the way down to $15. You have to take the bad with the good, and I am not worried. After all -- I'm only 17. -- Robert Morgan III, 17

The Tristan System
I initially thought that investing was something rich people did to get more money. Now I understand that the majority of people can invest. I began investing in order to buy a nice used car. My best stock has been Chico's, a small-cap women's clothing retailer. It's gone up about 25% since I bought it. Applied Innovation, a small-cap computer networking equipment maker, has been my biggest dog, dropping about 40%. I'm holding on to it, though, because I think it has great prospects.
I've sold only two stocks so far, Mellon Financial and DTE Energy, losing just 4% or so on each. Overall, I'm down about 10% over the last few months, which isn't that bad considering that the stock market has fallen much more than that in the same time period.
To find companies in which to maybe invest, I use stock screeners at businessweek.com or morningstar.com, or I hear about a stock on TV or stumble onto an interesting company on message boards at Yahoo! Then I look them up to see if their balance sheet looks good, how profitable they are, etc. I make sure they're undervalued enough. I aim to buy a company when its P/E ratio is below its 5-year average P/E ratio and lower than its industry's average P/E. I also read the company's last annual report (from its website) and see how fast it's growing. These are just some of the things I do. I plan to keep investing all my life. -- Tristan Crockett, 15
My Investing Life -- So Far
Three years ago, I opened an account with a discount brokerage, and I was instantly in the game. Drunk on power, I felt like a major player in the financial markets. With a point and click, I moved hundreds of dollars from stock to stock: Papa John's Pizza, Indonesian Telecom, 3Dfx, Analysts International. The titans of Wall Street trembled at the mere mention of my name.
Day trading was soon an all-consuming passion. I snuck out of classes to check my stocks and pulled the trigger on companies just for the thrill. Unfortunately, I was losing money. Trading five times daily simply didn't work. Even with my brokerage's low commissions, I was paying $10 each time to get both in and out of positions. Factoring in taxes on any gains, my green was quickly disappearing.
So I settled on the traditional method of value investing espoused by the old guard. After extensive research, I selected the five solid companies that would make my fortune. And so my life continued, placidly, until the fateful day that my cousin David called. A big shot investment banker in Miami, he's the type who wears $900 Gucci sandals and cements deals on a 50-foot yacht. "I have an amazing deal for you," he promised. Some global satellite company called Iridium was trading at $14 per share, down from a high of $75. Confident in its imminent turnaround, he apparently had half a million shares in it.
I felt bad for all those old ladies and their investing clubs. Without the inside information held by the privileged few such as myself, they could only hope to eke out a meager return. With all my other positions liquidated, I sat back and waited for Iridium Satellite to make me rich. And waited. When it hit $7 or so, I placed a call to my cousin, who assured me that it was about to skyrocket. He encouraged me again when it declared bankruptcy, describing that as a formality. Its billions of dollars of debt were apparently no problem, either.
Well, now the stock is worthless and my life savings are gone. The moral of the story? The professionals don't always know as much as you think they do. You can invest well on your own with proper research and due diligence. Me, I just stick to an index fund now. With the miracle of compound interest, I hope to retire at age 30 and buy a solid gold house. -- Alexis Neuhaus, 18
Consider Giving Some Money Away
I read somewhere that if you have any money in a bank account and a little money in your pocket right now, you are among the wealthiest people in the world. Having gone to Honduras on a mission trip and seen the conditions that others live in every day, I see things from a different perspective here in the United States. It's amazing how much we have that just gets squandered on depreciating assets that really do not make one's life much happier. I wish more people saved more, invested more, and gave more to charity. It certainly makes you feel better when you realize that some of your income is actually going towards a productive purpose, rather than a nice DVD player or computer system that quickly becomes worth only pennies compared to what it cost brand new. -- Jason Ramage, 20

4of5 stars. Not having Internet (see alert in event comments) was rough, and that (my searching for it, even visiting all neighboring establishments), plus leader Bill being 1hr late (1st time ever), caused us to get a late start, and we only had 5 attendees, but we still had a surprisingly good meeting! including going strong till closing 10pm. Both presentations were quite good, and I had thoughts & contributions for both. Indeed Bill's I'd like him to present again. And it was good to see Michael Strong for his 2nd meeting, plus welcome Martin Martinez for his 1st. :-) Plus it was useful & fun having Bill come visit me afterwards.

Degree or Program Details
Pre-Dental Program
- Students pursuing this program are assigned to the pre-dental adviser who assists them in selecting the courses required and recommended for admission into dental school and for general advisement on other required pre-dental activities. The choice of major is not restricted and students should choose a major that will interest them and provide a possible career opportunity for them upon graduation. Regardless of the major, students must take the science courses required by dental schools for admission. It is also recommended that other upper level biology courses be taken to enhance preparedness for dental school success. Please see the course listings below. A pre-dental handbook is available from the adviser in the Physics Department.
- Northern Michigan University has a pre-dental advisory board made up of practicing dentists and professors from the university. While the pre-dental adviser provides the student with information on the process of working towards acceptance into dental school, the board may interview students who are in the application process and the chair of the board (the pre-dental adviser) will then write a letter of evaluation (the board letter) that assesses the suitability of a student for the profession. This letter is provided to the dental schools to which the student is applying. Selection for the board interview is based on G.P.A., DAT scores, references, and demonstrated participation in pre-dental activities throughout the undergraduate career, particularly in the areas of volunteer work and observation experiences with dentists.
- Pre-dental students at the sophomore level and above are given the opportunity to make contact with area dentists and dental specialists in order to gain valuable observation experiences during the academic year while they are on campus at NMU. Students should also get additional experiences in their hometown during the summer break.
- The course listing below shows those courses which are required by all dental schools for admission and also lists additional recommended courses. It should be noted that all the courses in the list are part of a biology/physiology or biochemistry major. Dental schools may require an additional course or two for entry so students should investigate dental schools at an early stage in their undergraduate careers.
Minimum course requirements for U.S. dental schools. All of these science courses have an associated laboratory requirement.

Summer movies: The 30 coolest things to see this summer
From high-fiber docs to hot-buttered-popcorn blockbusters, we've got the lowdown on the movies you need to see this summer.
Tue Apr 30 2013
SLIDE SHOW: View the summer movies preview as one slide show >>
We love summer movies and all the wonderful, elephantine nonsense they supply. Still, it must be said, our definition of summer movies has changed. Sure, as office cubicles get chillier, we can expect plenty of large-scale dumbness: Superman returns in Man of Steel, the Wolverine returns in The Wolverine and zombies return in World War Z. But we'd be lying if we told you we didn't have our eye on the counterprogramming that ensures a cinema fan's balanced diet: Computer Chess, set during an '80s-era tournament, is a lo-fi geek's paradise; Sofia Coppola is back with more spoiled rich kids in The Bling Ring; and Michael Cera apparently hunts for hallucinogens in Crystal Fairy. Add to this a retrospective devoted to the majestic work of Yasujiro Ozu—and another one showcasing Jackie Chan flicks—and we'd say our plate is full. So what's a summer movie? Let's just say it's a movie and it comes out during the summer. Here are 30 of them worth seeing.
Before Midnight
When we left Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunset (2004), they were contemplating their future in Paris. This third part of Richard Linklater's series picks up nine years later—and tackles notions of adult responsibilities, regret and fading passions with characteristic grace. (May 24)
Fill the Void
Among Tel Aviv's ultra-Orthodox Haredi, the men make the decisions and the women look on respectfully. But in Rama Burshtein's quiet powder keg of a drama, a teenager defies the marital wishes of her community and draws unusual power from her resistance to tradition. (May 24)
Now You See Me
A group of magicians make money disappear from banks and reappear in their audience's pockets. We're hopeful that this star-studded conjurers thriller—featuring everyone from Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo to Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine—will be truly enchanting, as opposed to the same old hocus-pocus. (May 31)
After Earth
These days, it's tough being an M. Night Shyamalan fan (we're still scrubbing The Last Airbender from our minds). But this father-son science-fiction adventure, starring Will and Jaden Smith as starship-crash survivors trapped on postapocalyptic Earth, looks like an action-packed return to form. (May 31)
Dirty Wars
Investigative journalist and author Jeremy Scahill takes viewers on a tour of the world of black-ops military raids, "kill lists" and secret assassinations in this damning political documentary. Dirty warfare, indeed. (June 7)
Much Ado About Nothing
That playful wit Joss Whedon, fresh off his audience-delighting blockbuster The Avengers, helms a modern-day, black-and-white take on the Bard's classic romantic roundelay. There are few artists better equipped to tackle both spandex superheroes and William Shakespeare. (June 7)
"Ozu" series at Film Forum
The downtown venue devotes four weeks to the Japanese filmmaker who gave us such classic tearjerkers as Tokyo Story and Late Spring. If you've never seen this master's work, plan on getting your mail forwarded to Film Forum. (June 7–27)
This Is the End
The apocalypse is here, and unfortunately, it coincides with a celeb-studded party at James Franco's house. (Michael Cera macking on Rihanna, that cad!) Seth Rogen cowrites, codirects and costars in what looks to be a bad-mannered, gut-busting good time, Armageddon or no. (June 12)
Berberian Sound Studio
A fastidious sound engineer (Toby Jones) heads to 1970s Rome for a gig on a squishy horror movie. Amid all the screaming and melon-crushing—his backstage craft is lovingly detailed—there's a distinct possibility that the guy might be going nuts. A one-of-a-kind thinker. (June 14)
The Bling Ring
Sofia Coppola brings her twin strengths of celebrity sympathy and punkish abandon to a fitting tale, based on the real-life exploits of gang of teen thieves raiding wealthy Hollywood homes for a taste of the luxe life. Harry Potter's Emma Watson continues to take worthwhile postfranchise risks. (June 14)

Sliema recover to beat Qormi
Sliema Wds 3 Qormi 1
Sliema produced a surging second-half show to take all points from a match they were losing at half-time to tighten their grip on the fourth place of the
premier league.
Qormi outmuscled the Wanderers during the first half.
Right at its end, Sciberras sent a precise ball over Sliema's defensive line as
Chetcuti ran through to reach the ball before beating Zammit with a perfect
In the 69th minute, the score was level as Sliema finally breached Qormi's right flank. It was an excellent pass from Clifford Gatt Baldacchino for Alex Muscat whose header hit Alessio Cassar's arm as referee Malcolm Spiteri pointed to the spot. From the ensuing spot-kick, Woods sent Farrugia the wrong way.
There was a sense of inevitability about what came next.
Sliema's Faccini made it 2-1 on 78 minutes. Alex Muscat saw his shot blocked by Farrugiawith the ball falling into the path of the agile winger who buried his shot behind the goalkeeper.To their merit, Qormi pushed forward again, almost scoring six minutesfrom time, as Chetcuti drew a brilliant save from Zammit with a rising shot.
Siritto in the match was replaced by Vincenzo Pisani. In the Italian striker
was soon in the thick of things as he set off on a mazy run on the right,
dancing past three defenders before his swerving shot crashed against the
crossbar.But the value of Faccini's speed and movement caught out Qormi's highdefensive line as he held off Kris Thackray's challenge to slot theball home just before the final whistle.
