The Educational Opportunity Program (E.O.P.) is an alternate admission program that recruits and admits those students who may not meet the standard admissions requirements of the University, but who display the potential to succeed in the University. E.O.P. facilitates the enrollment and academic success of both the educationally and economically disadvantaged. An application deadline exists for the Fall semester of each academic year. New students and EOP transfer students from other California State Universities must file an application for admission by January 15.
Acceptance into the program is based upon an evaluation of the student's past educational experience, completion of E.O.P. admissions packet (which may be used at all 22 campuses within the CSU), ELM and EPT scores, and a personal interview. Once admitted into E.O.P., students are provided with support services such as academic advisement, counseling, and financial aid advisement to maximize their potential success.
Prospective students who do not meet standard admissions requirements are urged to apply for admission through the Educational Opportunity Program, and to contact the E.O.P. Office on campus to confirm the admission deadlines for each semester.
Former E.O.P. students at CSU Dominguez Hills must apply directly to the E.O.P. Office for undergraduate readmission. This procedure is necessary to ensure that admission as well as financial assistance is rendered to the student in a timely manner. Fall deadline for former E.O.P. students is June 1. Spring semester deadline for them is November 1.

This office also assists students in seeking employment by listing opportunities for full-time positions, both on and off campus, and by conducting an on-campus job interview program. This latter program, conducted during the academic year, allows students the opportunity of being interviewed by prospective employers. A career center is maintained to provide information on employers and occupations in business and industry. Information regarding graduate and professional schools, including applications, admissions criteria and financial aid, is available through the Student Development Office. A workshop in choosing and applying for graduate school also is provided.
Students preparing for a particular career field may request information from the Student Development Office about subsequent employment. This information includes data concerning average starting salary and the percentage of previously enrolled students who obtained employment. The information provided may include data collected from either graduates of the campus or graduates of all campuses in The California State University.
Career Placement
The campus may furnish, upon request, information about the employment of students who graduate from programs or courses of study preparing students for a particular career field.

The information may include data collected from either graduates of the campus or graduates of all campuses in the California State University system. Contact the Student Development Office for more information.
Psychological Counseling
Situations arise in which students experience personal difficulties for which they might want professional help. In these cases, counseling psychologists are available in the Student Development Office.
The staff of the Student Development Office consists of professionally trained counseling psychologists having several orientations, although the general counseling approach is geared toward the individual student. The overall goal is to work with each individual so that their personal growth leads to the realization of successful college experiences. The Student Development Office handles both personal and career counseling and invites the participation of students who feel that their college careers are hampered by problems in the areas of human relations, social interactions, parental and/or marital conflicts, or identity confusion.
In this program, students may involve themselves in individual and/or group counseling experiences. Students seen individually are encouraged to set up realizable goals that can be explored within 12 sessions. Students participating in groups are not limited to a set number of sessions, but are encouraged to set up realizable goals that can be pursued through involvement in group counseling.
Student Support Services Program (SSS)

2013 Worst Day of the Year Ride
When you live in a place that offers so much lush green-ness, you live with the winter rain that makes it possible. And if you ride here, you ride in it. But in Portland's bike-crazy culture, you also celebrate it!
The Worst Day of the Year Ride is Portland's annual you-can't-stop-us celebration of year-round riding. The Feb. 10 event will draw 4,000 riders who show up in costume (there are prizes!) or not, enjoy belly-nourishing warm treats along the way, and ride 18 (or 40) miles with wide smiles no matter what the weather. (A little secret: It's hardly ever really rained on this ride in its 11 years so far.)
Best of all, it's a fundraiser for the Community Cycling Center, a nonprofit dedicated to broadening access to bicycling and its benefits through hands-on programs, volunteer projects and a neighborhood bike shop.
Registration ends at 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 8. Check out our events calendar for more info and a sign-up link!

Sonic Chaos
- Platform: Master System
- Wii Points: 500
- In Real Money: GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 (approx)
Sonic Chaos was the first 8-bit game in the series to have Tails as a playable character. It was the last Sonic game on the Master System to get a European release. Er...the story involves Robotnik stealing Chaos Emeralds. Again.
Look, there's not much to be said about this unassuming entry in the sprawling Sonic series. It's much the same as the other Sonics of a similar early-nineties vintage. Level design is complex and varied, with the rush to the goal tempered by the urge to see if you can grab that cluster of rings tantalisingly visible on some apparently unreachable platform at the top of the screen. The spin dash attack is here, and proves handy for both speeding over obstacles and clobbering bosses.
The Master System hardware did a pretty good job of including the same features as the Megadrive versions, so all the loops, twists and other stunty elements are present and correct, if a little chunkier than in the 16-bit games. Collision detection occasionally feels off, especially when picking up rings, or not, as the case may be.
Perhaps the strongest argument in favour of Sonic Chaos is that it's a relatively unseen entry in a franchise where most of the attention was directed at the Megadrive titles. For Sonic fans who know most of the games inside out, this one will probably still seem quite fresh.
Clu Clu Land
- Platform: NES
- Wii Points: 500
- In Real Money: GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 (approx)
One of Nintendo's more obscure properties, this quirky 1984 effort has nevertheless managed to make cameo appearances in everything from Animal Crossing to Super Smash Bros.
You play as Bubbles, a blowfish who must retrieve gold bars from thieving sea urchins. Play takes place in a single screen dotted with pegs, and you uncover the missing ingots by passing between pegs. Urchins roam the screen as well, and can be zapped with Bubbles' huff-puffing ability. Shunting their stunned form into a wall kills them for good.
What makes Clu Clu Land stand out from all the other Pac-Man variants released in the early 1980s is the way you navigate the stages. The directional buttons reach out Bubbles' hands (or fins, presumably) and he then grasps the nearest peg and swings around and around. It feels weird to begin with, but once mastered it makes for an amusing wrinkle in an otherwise traditional maze game.
Like a lot of the NES games on the Virtual Console, there's nothing here that demands your immediate attention, but as a cute pocket money diversion it's more than acceptable.
Winter Games
- Platform: C64
- Wii Points: 500
- In Real Money: GBP 3.50 / EUR 5 (approx)
Hard to believe it's been a year since the Commodore 64 joined the VC line-up. In that time it's offered nineteen games, which seems like a fairly paltry amount considering the vast software library the platform offers. Four of those nineteen have been joystick-twanging sports games from Epyx, and this icy offering is the latest. Boasting seven events, it's neither the most varied nor the most impressive of the series.
Ski Jump and Hot Dog are variations on a theme, with a rush down the slope followed by some deft directional choices to maintain balance or pull off tricks before attempting (and often failing) a safe landing. Biathlon is an agreeable mix of marathon and shooting, as you hike up and down snowy hills, hopefully conserving enough energy to take a decent shot at checkpoint targets with your rifle. Speed Skating is a straight forward sprint event, while Bobsled simply asks you to use left and right to keep your hurtling metal coffin inside the track. That just leaves Figure Skating and Free Skating, which are basically the same, with the first insisting you follow specific moves and the second letting you do whatever pirouettes you fancy.
The game supports up to eight players, but most events only allow you to play one after another. As with the others in the series, some events - such as Biathlon and Bobsled - have aged reasonably well, and are still fun to play. Events like Hot Dog and Figure Skating, with their reliance on outdated rhythm reactions, are less than enjoyable in 2009. As always, then, another mixed bag that only entertains some of the time.

Nothing and I mean nothing screams... I love diamonds like a diamond in the rough.... Rough diamond solitaire; 5.28 total carat weight. Micro pavé accents; 0.20 total carat weight. 18-karat yellow gold setting. @ $5000 - we can understand why....

If I ever get married, I want my engagement rock to be an uncut diamond. There's something spectacularly beautiful about an object from nature that's been unmodified by mankind. The contrast between the rough and pave-cut diamonds is stunning.

Cervicalgia CausesCervicalgia is extremely prevalent with around a third of people suffering some degree of neck pain at least once a year and more than 10% of people thought to have had neck pain lasting longer than six months. Common cervicalgia causes include poor posture, such as working at a desk for long periods of time without a break and with a poor ergonomic set up. Ideally a computer screen should be placed so that the head or neck does not have to tilt or strain to see it comfortably. An unsupportive chair and elevated keyboard position, or writing position, will also cause strains in the lower back, wrists, and arms, which can then create imbalances further up in the neck and shoulders.
Causes of cervicalgia are often multi-factorial with a combination of poor posture increasing muscle tension and strain and predisposing a person to acute injury during sporting or recreational activity. Conversely, an acute injury to the neck, such as a stinger or burner in football, or whiplash, can then cause alterations in the posture which, if not addressed, may develop into chronic cervicalgia.
Physical symptoms of pain can also be connected to anxiety and depression and many people carry a lot of tension in their neck and shoulders; almost like they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders like Atlas. Where stress and tension are the underlying cause of cervicalgia it can help to combine thermotherapy with relaxation techniques as both the immediate symptoms and the underlying problem will need addressing to provide effective relief. Patients who are depressed are also increasingly sensitized to pain and even small aches and strains in the neck can be felt more profoundly. Where there are no clear reasons for neck pain and other symptoms such as fatigue, listlessness, and prolonged and/or profound sadness are evident it may be that depression is responsible for the neck pain. Conversely, the ongoing experience of neck pain, particularly when unable to be attributed to any particular cause, can actually lead to stress, tension, and depression, further exacerbating the symptoms. It is, therefore, clearly extremely important to determine the timeline for such symptoms to appear in order to try to establish cause and effect.
Musculoskeletal Problems
Cervicalgia can also be an aspect of generalized musculoskeletal issues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or osteoporosis. Disc herniation and spinal stenosis can be at the root of cervicalgia although these often also lead to radicular pain in the shoulders, arms, and hands. In rare cases the cause of neck pain may be an infection in the spine, with osteomyelitis sometimes occurring after back surgery for instance, or following trauma of some kind. Tumor growth in the spine is another infrequent cause of cervicalgia.
Cardiovascular Problems
Cervicalgia causes for some patients is sometimes not connected to the spine at all, and is, instead, linked to cardiovascular problems, or respiratory and upper gastrointestinal issues. Acid reflux may make itself known as a burning pain in the neck rather than lower in the chest and, if this is chronic, the acid can cause damage to the oesophagus leading to precancerous changes (Barrett's Oesophagus). Blood vessel compression, or abnormalities in the vasculature of the neck can lead to ischaemia in the cervical spinal muscles, causing neck pain. Swelling, congestion, and oedema from upper respiratory tract infections may also lead to neck pain, as can a constant cough which strains the neck muscles and puts pressure on the intervertebral discs.

>Running 101>Outside Ankle Pain While Running
Hello all.
I'm by no means a long distance runner, but I do love to run. When I was in high school I played soccer and ran track (short distance) and in my first two years of college, I ran a few miles every day. After getting pretty out of shape (by my standards) my junior year, I decided to get back into running. I recently, though, have a problem whenever I run. After about 1/2 a mile or so, the outside of my ankle just above where the bone sticks out starts to hurt very badly and won't go away for about 30 minutes, but then it gets better.
I have new shoes that were fitted specifically to my feet. I have normal arches, no previous injuries to my feet or ankles, and do not pronate (though I slightly supinate with my right foot). It's not a mild pain either, it is pretty painful to walk for about 10 minutes after it begins and then my calves and ankles are tight for probably an hour afterwards.
Any advice?
i would slow it down a little and see if it gets better. if not, i always promote seeing a doctor. if slowing down helps, just make sure you build up slowly. it could just be getting back into running and getting use to the impact.

Lifestyle Lift Controversy on NBC
Beauty Cred on 13 Oct 2006 at 2:32pm
An NBC affiliate in San Diego recently ran a story called Women Upset With Results (along with disturbing video) that addressed dissatisfaction some women have with a popular facelift procedure called the Lifestyle Lift.
The story quotes a Philadelphia plastic surgeon named Lou Bucky saying:
the Lifestyle Lift is a procedure that was basically discarded in the 1970s because he says its gives only temporary results. Bucky thinks Lifestyle Lift might work fine for about 5 percent of patients.
This comment contrasts with the promise offered on the Lifestyle lift official website:
"remove up to 20 years in about 1 hour!" and..."The Lifestyle Liftwas developed so that men and women can look and feel younger without the trauma and downtime of extreme plastic surgery."
So where does the truth lie with the lifestyle lift?
At RealSelf we think it's up to consumers who've undergone the Lifestyle Lift and are willing to share their testimonials and satisfaction ratings. Already we're seeing dozens of Lifestyle lift reviews run from complete satisfaction to complete dissatisfaction.
If you've had a cosmetic treatment like the Lifestyle Lift, feel free to add your voice.
Alternatively, there are very active Lifestyle lift discussion boards here on RealSelf.com.

The whole thing was a bit of a ball ache to be honest and im just wondering if there was an easier way of doing it? Cheers

Skip to comments.In his weekly address, President Obama warns Congress against shutdown
Posted on 02/26/2011 10:52:54 AM PST by ColdOne
As the March 4 deadline looms for a government shutdown, President Barack Obama warned Capitol Hill lawmakers not to allow gridlock to prevail, urged them to resolve the partisan stalemate and compromise on a short-term federal budget.
Both Democratic and Republican leaders in the House and Senate have said they believe its important to keep the government running while we work together on a plan to reduce our long-term deficit, Obama said in his weekly address to the nation Saturday. Given that, I urge and expect them to find common ground so we can accelerate, not impede, economic growth.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Did he condemn Gadhafi and warn him against killing more of his people?
Do you go to politico and read articles????
I don't understand why people post politico.
The "weakly address" is just a bunch of leftist talking points.
Since when has he cared about compromise?
Pray for America
Because tyrants cannot effect their will on the People when the government stops working. Obama and the left are terrified of the one thing that would aid the cause of freedom more than anything else right now.
"so we can accelerate, not impede, economic growth.
NOOOooo, that was misworded, should have been:
"So we can impede, nor accelerate, economic growth"
WHEN it is HIM that will shut it down..
IF he does not sign the resolution(legislation) he WILL shut down the government..
As DEMOCRATS will all grab their faces and "faint"... in faux overload..
It will be quite funny.. Much humor can be made of it..
Straw men and false choices should be the Republican mantra right out of the chute when responding to this poser.
The only good story out of Politico this week was about the mice they had running all over the place.
Good old tone-deaf Obozo, fear-mongering about imminent shutdown... just days after he spent his time partying away to Motown.
Libya evacuation:
Britain has HMS Cumberland standing by...
Netherlands has navy ship Tromp standing by....
Italy responds by sending military c-130s...
and Dumbo rents a ferry.
On Wednesday March 16, Obama had the AP (Apritichik Press) Anthony Taylor report that Obama had threaten if the government shuts down Social security checks would not be sent out..
anthony Taylor AP reports now (friday) even if the government shuts down . Current Social Security beneficiaries need not to worry, their paychecks wouldn't be affected.
here the president tries to cause chaos and confusion by telling the elderly and disabled - guess what people the government shuts down per the Republicans you people will have to resort to dog food and be kicked out of your homes and apartments.
This president is a POS. he has no scruples he will go after the defenseless the poor and downtradden. He is the epitome a parasitic money grabbing SOB.
Staffer misunderstood Obie. He said "get me a fairy".
Staffer misunderstood Obie. He said "get me a fairy".
Democrats are always shutting something down. Barry should step up to the plate, and accept what the adults are suggesting.
They will send him a stopgap bill to keep everything going so not signing it and allowing the government to shut down is on him.
FUBO and shut the HELL up you Kenyan poser steaming pile of Sh!t.
OK. Now I know we have reason to be scarred. The great al-Obama is going to rain down upon us.
Somebody needs to photo-shop some of those ridiculous Gaddafi uniforms on our own national embarrassment.

Steel used as a material in construction has many benefits and provides a lot of solutions which link to Green buildings. The structures made from steel are light, recyclable and it does not take long to construct. Because it is recycled and also recyclable, steel framing is a responsible and beneficial choice for the environment. Steel can be an extremely important addition to projects wherein sustainable design, construction and material are an important requirement. As Green buildings or sustainable building refers to a structure that is built using a process that is responsible for the environment and its operation, construction, maintenance and renovation is resource efficient and environmentally responsible. Hence steel is considered a Green construction material.
Steel Solutions for the Green Buildings
Steel has a low environmental impact that is crucial and a prerogative of a Green building. Some of the solutions that steel as a construction and building material provide Green buildings are:
• Steel solutions make buildings more energy efficient and are less costly to operate and very comfortable. Other than that, steel allows a high and superior degree of prefabrication for quick, reliable and very predictable construction that reduces neighbourhood complaints on the construction site.
• Steel plays an important role in the movement towards zero energy buildings as well. Some of the solutions in construction are photovoltaic roofing systems, thermally efficient steel system and high insulation panels are available and help in achieving the management of increasing energy consumption. The solution provided helps in reducing the energy consumed during the building's life and contributing positively towards reduction of its environmental impact.
• The mechanical properties of steel provide a solution, particularly its weight to strength ratio. This enables the creation of very lightweight and load bearing structures that helps in gaining additional usable and space efficient enough to bring economic and social value to the building. Technical steel solutions increase and optimise space and allow flexible internal space, extension and also a quick and easy renovation.
• Steel is also considered a premier green construction material because it continues to prove its role in environmental protection as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and has been proactive in pursuing every measurement of its own and thus exceeding regulatory requirements.
• Another important solution that steel provides Green building is that it is the best replacement of wood. 40 trees or so are cut to build an average sized home; whereas framing of a steel-framed home is made from around six recycled cars.
• It is has a strong built to last quality. It is highly durable and also non-combustible that will not contribute fuel to a growing fire. Its galvanized zinc costing keeps it corrosion free and hence any steel structure can last for hundreds of years.
Steel, an environmental success
Steel structures have a lot of environmental benefits and are considered extremely green. It is also the most preferred and attractive alternative there is to wood. Almost every product on this planet is made from recycled steel from cars to refrigerators and many more. Recycling steel saves energy and also helps in protecting valuable resources. Nearly 68.7% of all steel scrap is recycled. Steel also does not encourage any pest infestations, moulding or rotting of the house that can give birth to disease carrying spores and also bacteria into the home. Steel is the one material that provides solutions towards a safe, clean, hazard free and healthy environment for your family.
Benefits of Steel towards Green building
• Many steel constructed products are represented in almost all green building standards and rating programs like the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program, and the National Green Building Standard for residential buildings.
• Usage of cold formed steel framing reduces the construction waste generated at the sites.
• Steel used as metal roofs save up to 40% in important cooling energy. Metal roofs that are highly emissive lower urban temperatures and thus result in reduction of smog. Builders are now taking advantage of the fact that roofs built of steel indeed reflect light and heat and this helps keep the buildings much cooler during summer. This saves a lot of energy in cooling costs and helps the environment by reducing the 'heat island' effect. The steel is coated with a 'cool' coating which is a silicon polyester paint which helps in reflecting light that acts as a thermal barrier and keeping the inside cool.
• Steel is extremely light and so transportation of steel requires less fuel and any transport capacity as compared to other materials.
• Architects and engineers are able to achieve highly sustainable designs created with steel joists and many other steel structural components that help boost the amount of recycled products used in the construction of their projects. With this, achieving the LEED credit is possible.
• In addition to steel's 'green' nature, design flexibility is also a generous benefit. It allows for maximum headroom and it is flexible to allow pipes and ducts to enter and run through the web of joists, a procedure that is impossible with other construction materials.
The colours green is now associated with steel, the most recycled material on this planet. Steel is the answer and solution for the housing and materials of tomorrow as it is able to address all the needs of a low cost and affordable high-end and also green buildings. Also, steel's sustainable and efficient benefit goes beyond its high recycling attributes and this makes it a necessary, cost-effective and durable option for all construction requirements and applications. So go 'Green' with steel.

Teri JensenModel Female Cedar Rapids, Iowa, US
Mayhem # 2558104
About MeI'm BACK!!! Taking new photographers!! 12/1/14
I hadn't thought much about modeling until I found myself doing a favor for a friend a few years ago. She was doing a hair for a pin up add when her model cancelled the last minute, so she called me. I discovered that not only did I feel comfortable in front of the camera but actually enjoyed it...it was nothing like family pictures! The photographer kept saying what a "good model" I was. I did a second shoot a couple months later and had the same experience so I thought I would give modeling a try.
I am mainly Black Irish so I'm rather pale, but I feel it's a neat look. I'm willing to travel if expenses are paid. I do have one tattoo located on my lower back.
If you would like to work with me please shoot me a e-mail, Thanks!
UPDATE: I LOVE modeling!!! I am open for booking...for a 3 hour shoot my rate is $75 for non nude: nude shoots are $150. There is a fine line between nude and porn...I will not show my vagina.
NOTE: I do background checks on all photographers...I mean no offense, its just for safety reasons.
TRAVELING: I have many photographers wishing for me to travel, but can't pay enough to cover the costs and make it profitable for me. To keep the cost down have had more than 1 get together and we shoot all together. We create a scene, shoot with a photographer for 15 minutes or so then the next photographer shoots for a bit...change scene and repeat. Just a suggestion.

Campello Honored with Alan J. & Joyce D. Baltz Professorship
By Sarah Small
Faculty, students, and friends of the College of Business celebrated the investiture for Professor Murillo Campello's appointment as the Alan J. and Joyce D. Baltz Professor last Thursday in the Deloitte Auditorium of the Business Instructional Facility.
Campello, a finance professor, is recognized in his field as a leader in corporate financial management and economic policy making. His papers deal with the limits of the firm, corporate capital structure, firm financing constraints and other significant issues. His work is cited by prominent policy authorities, such as the Federal Reserve Chairman, Mr. Ben Bernanke. Murillo is also a leader in his field as a celebrated author and associate editor of multiple premier finance journals.
We really need to consider this a celebration," said Interim Provost Robert Easter, "We're here to honor Dr. Campello for his scholarship, it's the way we academics recognize achievements, but we're also here to honor those who made this possible."
Alan ('57) and Joy Baltz enabled the creation of this new professorship with a generous donation to the college.
"They saw the importance of education for developing a fulfilling life; and I applaud them for their decision to enable others to share in these opportunities," said Charles Kahn, head of the Department of Finance.
"To see our faculty so recognized is also a reminder to me of the greatness of this university, the greatness of those we see just every day in our walks across campus," said Easter.
Campello is an authority on corporate finance and the relationship between finance and the economy. He was chosen to receive the professorship because his work has made him one of the College of Business's most distinguished colleagues, Kahn said.
"Murillo is one of the leading scholars in the world at understanding these issues and understanding the issues in the financial crisis," said Michael Weisbach, professor at Ohio State University who has co-authored journals with Campello.
Weisbach commended the Baltzs for their generosity, and ensured them their donation would be put to good use with Campello in the Alan J. and Joyce D. Baltz Professorship.
"One of the great things about professorships is they last for the lifetime of the university, and that means they can last a long time," said Larry DeBrock, dean of the College of Business. "These things are part of the lifeblood of the university."
Campello's wife, Maria Alexandre, a lecturer of Business Administration, said her and her husband feel honored that he received the professorship and was recognized by his colleagues.
"We hold Illinois very dear to our hearts," Alexandre said. "It feels like being at home."
Campello said when he came to ILLINOIS in 1994 as an exchange student, he had a 4-month visa and long-term plans in his home in Rio de Janeiro, but 15 years later, he is still at the university.
I'd just like to say the last 15 years have been wonderful for me here at the University of Illinois," Campello said. "It's a place that I have been able to grow as a researcher but also as a person with friends everywhere inside the university and outside the university."
He thanked the Baltzs for donating to ILLINOIS to create the professorship and to the University for creating the atmosphere in which he could develop his career.
"I'm looking forward to the next 15 years and this award today," Campello aid. "This professorship is definitely something that will strengthen the bond between my family and the University of Illinois. I'm so thankful for this."
