An efficient B.O.B. ('Bug Out Bag') is a mobile cache of various items required for surviving short periods of time when Shit Hits The Fan. The BOB should be prepared in advance since you won't have the luxury of time to purchase or gather the supplies you need. Having an adequate and versatile Bug out Bag stocked and ready will increase your chances of survival during emergency evacuations.
Included below are notes to help you get started and an example of one individual's BOB All members of your family or group should have a BOB, tailored to their individual needs.
The survival kit in this example is adequate for this particular individual; make sure your individual needs are satisfied.
Survival Kit Key Notes
- Make sure your BOB is located in a convenient and secure location.
- Alert family members (if applicable) to the location of their BOB's.
- Rotate stored food in your Bug out Bag
- Store medication and prescriptions in your BOB and rotate as needed.
- Survival requires First Aid/CPR Certification for you and your family.
- Continuously improve your Bug out Bag as your needs change.
Recommended Bug Out Bag

Bug Out Bag – Water
Store water for your BOB's in sealed plastic containers to prevent contamination. Include a minimum of a three-day water supply or 2 quarts a day for each member of your family. Intense physical activities such as running or extreme stress will double the amount of water your body requires. If a Bug Out Vehicle is available and you must choose between water and food, choose water. For best results include the following items with your survival kit's water supplies:
- Water bladder for convenience
- Flavoring pouches for variety
- Water filtration straws for backup water intake
- water purification tablets for backup water intake
Bug Out Bag – Food
Include at least a three-day food supply of non-perishable food in your Survival Kit. Dehydrated foods are absolutely essential for you BOB. Unlike canned foods, dehydrated food is freeze-dried, making it compact and light weight. It requires little water to make and takes up minimal space in your kit. Be sure to compensate for special dietary needs as required. In addition to dehydrated meals consider including:
- High protein energy bars for physical activity
- C-Rations for emergency use [See Item]
- Multivitamins to prevent malnutrition
- M.R.E.'s (Meals Ready to Eat)
Bug Out Bag – First Aid and Medications
First aid kits and medical supplies should be fully stocked in all BOB's. Under-stocked First Aid Kits will cost lives in an emergency. However, medical first aid kits are practically useless if you don't have the training to properly use the supplies. Search locally to find affordable or free courses and certification classes.
- Field use First Aid Kit
- Bug Out Bag First Aid Kit [See Item]
Medication should be well thought out in your survival kit based on your needs. For example; if you have a diabetic in your group or family you will want to include insulin pens, test strips, electric portable camping cooler, and adequate rotation procedures.
Bug Out Bag – Additional Supplies
- Solar or crank powered flashlight
- Fire source
- Additional clothing
- Sanitation wipes
- Extra cash or bartering items
- Waterproof gear
- Personal identification
- Knife
- Multifunctional tool set
- USB Jump Drive for essential information
- Local maps
- Emergency blanket
- Para-cord
- Sunscreen repellent
- Single person tent
- Lighter fluid, oil
- Entertainment for children (if applicable)
Again design your Bug out Bag to fit each individual's needs based on their size and circumstances. Paying attention to the fine details makes a successful kit.
Bug Out Bag – Weapons
In any emergency situation personal protection is an absolute requirement; we don't have prisons in America because society is full of angels. Rioting, looting, physical/sexual assault are common. Firearms, knives, hatchets, crossbows, non-lethal defense items such as a taser or baton, and even certain household objects will be vital to protecting you and your family members should the need arise. These tools should be properly maintained and readily available in your BOB. Most importantly, you and your family should be properly trained to use these weapons. Maintaining proficiency will help eliminate panic and greatly improve your chances of survival. Firearms safety and personal defense classes and training are readily available for minimum fees – See Example BOB

Visit SMWC for Private College Week
July 1st, 2016 | SMWC
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) joins all of Indiana's 31 private, nonprofit colleges and universities across the state by opening its doors to students, parents and others involved in the college selection process during Indiana Private College Week, July 18-22, 2016.
Visitors are encouraged to make the most of this opportunity by customizing the visit to fit specific goals and interests. Students and families will experience the campus first-hand through tours, connect with current students and learn about academic programs and student life.
"The week is designed to give students a glimpse of what it's like to be a student at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College," said Brennan Randolph, vice president for enrollment management.
"Becoming a student here is doable thanks to our generous financial aid packages and our Wabash Valley Scholarships. Families will discover a surprisingly affordable education."
The Princeton Review cites campus visits as the "most important part of your research" when determining which institution to attend. Students are better prepared to decide what university is right for them after they know how the campus feels and how they fit into the picture.
"By visiting a campus, students and families discover Indiana private colleges are within reach, financially and otherwise," said Richard Ludwick, president and CEO of the Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI). "ICI colleges and universities give millions of scholarship dollars to students all four years, making top-flight higher education a dream come true for tens of thousands. We want this week to be a gateway to discovering that dream realized."
Visitors between the ages of 16 and 20 touring ICI campuses during Private College Week, July 18-22, will have the chance to enter a drawing for a Microsoft Surface or Apple iPad mini tablet. Entry forms and rules will be available at each campus.
To schedule a visit at SMWC, call 1-800-926-769 or online at www.smwc.edu/visit.

A TEENAGER who was part of a gang which invaded a Brierfield pub and started wrecking it, has walked free from court.
Burnley Crown Court heard the 17-year-old had been one of a group of 10 Asian males who pushed their way into The Feathers about two hours after the English Defence League had turned up in the town.
Nobody in the pub was connected with the EDL and it was relatively quiet.
In the disturbance, the landlord and landlady, Michael Metcalfe and Diane Crummet, were both assaulted and injured and damage was caused.
An elderly customer was so frightened he fled into the toilets.
Tables and stools were upended and the defendant, who was not charged with any assault, kicked a 130-year-old door.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted affray and criminal damage, on July 2 last year.
The defendant, who had no previous convictions, was given a 12-month youth rehabilitation order, with 100 hours unpaid work by a judge, who slammed his behaviour as 'pure stupidity'.

Christmas in China is
called Sheng Dan Jieh which means the "Holy Birth Festival."Although
some parts of China have celebrated Christmas for over 400 years,
less than one percent of China's population is Christian, so Christmas
as we know it is not widely observed.
The Chinese Christmas
tree is called "the tree of light" and the Chinese like
to decorate it with bright colors. They use holly berries and colorful
Chinese lanterns. The children hang muslin stockings for Santa,
or Dun Che Lau Ren (Christmas Old Man) as he is known in China,
and he leaves toys in them on Christmas morning. Our Christmas tree
is decorated with authentic Chinese ornaments, many borrowed from
Patrick Wildenberg.
At Christmas, the Chinese
exchange gifts but these presents must be in accordance with other
Chinese traditions. Silks, jewels and valuable gifts may be given
only to immediate family members. Christmas Day in China is celebrated
with a marvelous display of fireworks.
But the big holiday celebration
in China is the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year is based
on the lunar calendar, which has a 12-year cycle. Chinese tradition
of naming the year after an animal comes from a story about Buddha.
Buddha once staged a gala celebration and invited hundreds of guests,
but the only ones who appeared were 12 different animals. To honor
the animals for their courtesy in attending, Buddha named a year
for each of them.
Days before the New Year,
every family cleans their home, in hopes of sweeping away all the
ill-fortune there may have been in the family and to make way for
the wishful in-coming good luck. On the Eve of the New Year a feast
is served. After eating, the whole family stays up waiting for the
new year. Every light is supposed to remain on until midnight and
at that time the sky lights up with fireworks.

8 steps to preparing a Resume
A resume is a brief summary of your abilities, education, experience, and skills. Its main task is to convince prospective employers to contact you.
A resume has one purpose: to get you a job interview.
Resumes must do their work quickly. Employers or personnel officers may look through hundreds of applications and may spend only a few seconds reviewing your resume. To get someone to look at it longer, your resume must quickly convey that you are capable and competent enough to be worth interviewing. The more thoroughly you prepare your resume now, the more likely someone is to read it later.
This document, which is divided into eight separate sections, can be read in two different ways. You can either read it all the way through, as you would a paper version, or you can click on any of the links listed below to jump ahead to particular section.
¨ Gather and check all necessary information
¨ Match your experience and skills with an employer's needs
¨ Highlight details that demonstrate your capabilities
¨ Organize the resume effectively
¨ Consider word choice carefully
¨ Ask other people to comment on your resume
¨ Make the final product presentable
¨ Evaluate your resume
Gather and Check All Necessary Information
Write down headings such as Education, Experience, Honors, Skills, and Activities. Beneath each heading, jot down the following information: Education usually means post-secondary and can include special seminars, summer school, or night school as well as college and university. If you ate just starting college, you can include high school as well. List degrees and month/ year obtained or expected: names and locations of schools; major and minor, if any, grade point average. A brief summary of important courses you've taken might also be helpful.
Experience includes full-time paid jobs, academic research projects, internships or co-op positions, part-time jobs, or volunteer work. List the month/years you worked, position, name and location of employer or place, and responsibilities you had. As you describe your experiences, ask yourself questions like these:
¨ Have I invented, discovered, coordinated, organized, or directed anything professionally or for my community?
¨ Do I meet deadlines consistently?
¨ Am I a good communicator?
¨ Do I enjoy teamwork?
Even if you're new to a field, you aren't necessarily starting from scratch.
Honors: List any academic awards ( scholarships, Fellowships,, honors list,), professional awards or recognition, or community awards ( i.e. for athletic skills).
Skills: List computer languages and software, research, laboratory, teaching or tutoring, communication, leadership, or athletic, among others.
Activities: List academic, professional, or community organizations in which you hold office or are currently a member; list professional and community organizations activities, including volunteer work. Listing extra-curricular activities or hobbies is optional. After you have all this information down, check it for accuracy. You'll need full names, in some cases full addresses, correct and consistent dates, and correct spellings.
Your Skills and Experience with an Employer's Needs
Position: What kind of position do you want for this job-search? Make notes. Now match your wishes up with positions that are actually available. You can get this information through postings, ads, personal contacts, or your own research. Also, the Rensselaer Career Development Center (CDC) can help you with job-search techniques. The CDC offers workshops, materials, personal assistance, and on-campus recruiting. It also coordinates a " Focus Program" to help freshmen, sophomores, and juniors find out about their field from Rensselaer alumni. Call the CDC at 276-6234, or drop by the Darrin Communication Center, Room 209.
EMPLOYER: For a certain position, what aspects of your education, experience, or skills will be most attractive to that employer? List SPECIFIC coursework, areas of specialty, specific skills, or knowledge that you think would interest the employer.
Details That Demonstrate Your Capabilities:
Look over what you've written and try to select details of you education, experience, honors, skills, and activities that match an employer's needs in a few important areas.
Organize the Resume Effectively
Personal information: Top center of first page. Name (no title); addresses; phone numbers; e-mail and /or fax addresses (optional); citizenship if applicable.
NOTE: A potential employer has no legal right to request information about age, sex, race, religion, marital status, health, physical appearance or personal habits. Don't include such information on your resume.
EDUCATION: Often comes first in student's resumes, especially if it is a strong asset,
EXPERIENCE: Here, you can use one of two formats.
Functional: To emphasize skills and talents, cluster your experience under headings that highlight these skills: for ex.: leadership, research, computers, etc. This format can be helpful if you have little relevant job experience.
Chronological: To emphasize work experience, list jobs beginning with the most recent. Some hints:
¨ Write all job descriptions in parallel phrases, using ACTION verbs.
¨ List the most important responsibilities or successes first.
¨ List similar tasks together.
¨ Emphasize collaborative or group-related tasks.
AWARDS/HONORS: use reverses chronological order; include titles, places, and dates.
ACTIVITIES: Generally, list hobbies, travel or languages only if they relate to your job interests. In some cases, you may wish to emphasize your willingness to travel or relocate.
REFERENCES: You need not put these on your resume. Instead, you can prepare a separate list of references, with complete name, title, company name, address, and telephone numbers for each individual. Usually, you give this list to prospective employers after you interview.
¨ Look at other resumes written for positions within your field.
¨ TYPE each entry in a format close to the one you want to use for your resume.
¨ LENGTH: for many resumes, two pages is the maximum length (NOTE: an academic resume or "curriculum vita: is often at least five pages long)
Word Choice Carefully:
In a resume, you need to sound positive and confident: neither too aggressive, nor overly modest. The following words and phrases are intended as suggestions for thinking about your experience and abilities.
Whatever your final word choices are, they should accurately describe you—your skills, talents, and experience.
Choose ACTIVE VERBS that describe your skills, abilities, and accomplishments.
Examples: I can contribute, enjoy creating, and have experience in organizing. While at X Company, I administered, coordinated, directed, participated in . Below is a list of such verbs:
Accomplish, achieve, analyze, adapt, balance, collaborate, coordinate, communicate, compile conduct, contribute complete, create, delegate direct, establish, expand, improve, implement, invent, increase, initiate, instruct, lead, organize, participate, perform, present, propose, reorganize, research, set up, supervise, support, train, travel, work (effectively, with others)
NOTE: You can change the forms of any of these verbs to stress different aspects of you abilities and experience: organize ==> organized, organizing, organization.
Choose ADJECTIVES and NOUNS that describe yourself positively and accurately:
Able to, administrative, analytical, (fluently) bilingual, broad scope, capable communication skills, collaboration, collaborative, consistent, competent, complete, creative, dedicated, diversified, effective, experienced, efficient, extensive, exceptional, flexible, global, handle stress, imaginative, intensive, in-depth, innovative, integrated, able to listen, motivated, multilingual, multidisciplinary, a negotiator, other cultures, reliable, responsible, a supervisor, teamwork, will-traveled, work well with.
Ask Other People to Comment on Your Resume
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you have an advisor, potential employer, or someone in your field critique you resume. For more help, ask:
· The Writing Center staff.
· The Career Development Center
· Family and friends
NOTE: People may offer many different opinions. Use you own judgment and be open minded about constructive criticism.
Make the Final Product Presentable:
Use a computer and high quality ( preferably laser) printer. If you don't have a computer or laser printer, you should either have your resume professionally produced, or use the resources that Rensselaer has to offer:
· IBM/PCs, UNIX and SUN workstations on canapés. Depending on which system you use, you have one chic of fonts, limited layout capability ( i.e. creating borders, boxes, and columns), and access to laser printers.
· Computer labs/printers slowest to the writing center. Windows 98 workstations(room 4510).
Evaluate Your Resume
Hold your resume at arm's length and see how it looks. Is the page too busy with different type styles, sizes, lines, or boxes? Is the information spaced well, not crowded on the page? Is their too much " white space"? Is important information quick and easy to find?
· Name is at the top of the page: highlighted by slightly larger typesize, bolding, and/or underlining.
· Address and phone number(s) are complete and correct, with zip and area codes, and are well placed in relation to name.
· All entries highlight a capability or accomplishment.
· Descriptions use active verbs, and verb tense is consistent; current job is in present tense; past jobs are in past tense.
· Repetition of words or phrases in kept to a minimum.
· Capitalization, punctuation, and date formats or consistent.
· There are NO typos or spelling errors.
· You're best assets, whether education, experience, or skills, are listed first.
· The page can be easily reviewed: categories are clear, text is indented.
· The dates of employment are easy to find and consistently formatted.
· Your name is printed at the top of each page.
ü No more than two typestyles appear, typestyles are conservative.
ü Holding, Italics, and capitalization are used minimally and consistently.
ü Margins and line spacing keep the page from looking too crowed.
ü Printing is on one side of the sheet only, on high-quality bond—white or off-white. (i.e. beige or ivory)
ü The reproduction is good, with no blurring, stray marks, or faint letters.
ü The right side of the page is in "ragged" format, not right justified. Right justification creates awkward white spaces.
you're done!
Just one more suggestion: If you are sending your resume to a prospective employer, you'll probably also have to include a separate cover letter. This is usually one page long. The letter indicates you interest in a particular company or position, summarizes the most important aspects of you education and experience, and lets the employer know where and when you can be contacted for an interview. The Writing Center and the Career Development Center can give you more information about effective cover letters

Vandy's Stallings hires Harvard assistant Yanni Hufnagel
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt men's basketball coach Kevin Stallings has hired Harvard assistant Yanni Hufnagel to fill a spot on his staff.
Hufnagel spent the last four years at Harvard, where he worked as a recruiting coordinator and also assisted in scouting and perimeter player development.
Vanderbilt announced Thursday in a university release that Hufnagel would replace Brad Frederick pending a school-mandated background check. Vanderbilt announced in its release that Frederick is expected to join another staff in a few weeks.
Stallings said in a statement that Hufnagel "is a superb young coach with a tireless work ethic, and is also an outstanding recruiter and evaluator of talent." Stallings added that "we will surely miss Brad, both personally and professionally."
Before his stint with Harvard, Hufnagel worked as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma.

With just two months left until national signing day, it's time to take a look at the status of the recruiting classes in the Big 12.
Baylor Bears
What's happened: The Bears have 15 commitments, all of them from Texas, and went big on linemen. Baylor has four offensive linemen, led by four-star offensive lineman Spencer Drango (Cedar Park, Texas/Cedar Park), and four defensive linemen, highlighted by Trevor Valdez (Copperas Cove, Texas/Copperas Cove).
What's next: Baylor will continue to work on two things with this class -- speed and defense. Defensive end Brandon Alexander (Brenham, Texas/Brennan), defensive tackles Uriah Grant (Fullerton, Calif./Fullerton C.C.) and Isiah Norton (Dallas, Texas/Kimball), and linebacker Jonathan Yenga (Euless, Texas/Trinity) are just some of the recruits to keep an eye on.
Colorado Buffaloes
What's happened:
Colorado is one of only a few schools across the country that has fewer than 10 commitments. Much of that has to do with the fact the Buffaloes are in the middle of a coaching change. Right now, four-star quarterback Brock Berglund (Highland Ranch, Colo./Valor Christian) highlights the five-player class.
What's next:
Picking Colorado's next head coach is a huge hire as the Buffaloes make their move next season to the Pac-10. Expect the Buffs to sign around 15, but the new Colorado coaches will have their work cut out for them. The sooner the hire is made, the better the program will be.
Iowa State Cyclones
What's happened:
Coach Paul Rhoads has 17 commits, highlighted by three-star prospects like wide receiver Tad Ecby (Houston, Texas/St. Pius X), inside linebacker Kyle Boyd (Mesquite, Texas/Horn), quarterback Sam Richardson (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park), running back Rob Standard (St. Louis, Mo./Chaminade), offensive tackle Jamison Lalk (Council Bluffs, Iowa/Abraham Lincoln) and cornerback Kenneth Lynn (Dallas, Texas/Kimball).
What's next:
The Cyclones recruit the state of Florida hard and they are among the favorites for athlete Josh Grady (Seffner, Fla./Armwood), wide receiver Keondrick Daniels (Tallahassee, Fla./Lincoln) and linebacker Terran Williams (Bradenton, Fla./Southeast). They are looking for roughly five more recruits and would like two of them to be an offensive lineman and a defensive tackle.
Kansas Jayhawks
What's happened: This solid class has 18 commits from seven different states. Darrian Miller (Blue Springs, Mo./Blue Springs) is the lone four-star recruit headed to Kansas to play for coach Turner Gill. This running back, who is the No. 17 back in the country, is one of the top prospects from the Midlands region. Kansas beefed up its offensive line with six commits, including Damon Martin (Arlington, Texas/Arlington), and added a trio of linebackers led by Jason Hensley (Alma, Ark./Alma).
What's next: Four-star athlete Rodney Coe (Edwardsville, Ill.) and defensive end Clavion Nelson (Hollywood, Fla./ South Broward) both officially visit Kansas this weekend. Linebacker Jonathan Yenga (Euless, Texas/Trinity) will visit in January as will running back Tra Carson (Texarkana, Texas/Liberty-Eylau). Kansas is among the leaders for defensive tackle Terry Redden (Memphis, Tenn./Whitehaven), linebacker Lukas Foreman (Naples, Fla.) and defensive end Robert Mincey (Fairfield, Ohio). Defensive ends Horace Arkadie (Irving, Texas) and Keevon Newsome (Chatham, Va./Hargrave Military Academy) and linebacker Otha Foster (Poplarville, Miss./Pearl River C.C.) are three more to keep a close eye on with the Jayhawks.
Kansas State Wildcats
What's happened: K-State has some interesting recruits headed its way and that includes former Boston College quarterback Justin Tuggle (Brenham, Texas/Blinn), who left the Eagles and is now with Blinn Community College in Texas. The Wildcats have always hit the junior colleges hard and so far they have six commitments from the juco ranks. K-State's top four high school commitments are all defensive linemen, led by Lamonte Clark (Washington, D.C./Ballou). Offensive help is on the way with a trio of wide receivers led by Jade Cathey (Liberal, Kan./Liberal).
What's next: While mostly done, the Wildcats have a few more spots and would like to close well with a cornerback. In fact, two officially visited K-State over the past month in Bernard Thomas (Blue Springs, Mo./Blue Springs) and Allen Chapman (San Francisco, Calif./City College of San Francisco). Kansas State is the leader with Chapman. Another cornerback to watch for with the Wildcats is Morgan Burns (Wichita, Kan./Trinity Academy).
Missouri Tigers
What's happened: The Tigers have 14 commitments, headlined by three-star DE Shane Ray (Shawnee Mission, Kan./Bishop Miege). Quarterback Corbin Berkstresser (Lee Summit's, Mo.) had a big senior season and has a chance to climb up the recruiting charts.
What's next: Athlete Kevonte Richardson (Oklahoma City, Okla./Millwood) favors the Tigers and Missouri is among the leaders for linebacker Rodney Young (Spring, Texas/Dekaney) and offensive tackle Errin Joe (Lakeland, Fla./Lake Gibson). Missouri would love to land athlete Anthony Pierson (East St. Louis, Ill./East St. Louis), who committed to the Tigers before backing off. Missouri also lost DT Sheldon Richardson (Visalia, Calif./College of the Sequoias) to Southern California, but expect that battle to go until the bitter end. Missouri is also in the mix for four-star athlete Rodney Coe (Edwardsville, Ill./Edwardsville). If Missouri can win a few of these battles, it will be a strong close for the Tigers.
Nebraska Cornhuskers
What's happened:
The Cornhuskers, with 17 commitments, have the nation's 10th-ranked class and trail only Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12. Their top three recruits are all from the Lone Star State in running back Aaron Green (San Antonio, Texas/James Madison), athlete Jamal Turner (Arlington, Texas/Sam Houston), and cornerback Charles Jackson (Klein, Texas/Collins). Green is a five-star recruit and an electrifying, big-play back, while Turner and Jackson are members of the ESPNU 150. Four-star signal-caller Bubba Starling (Gardner, Kan./Edgerton) is ranked as the No. 6 quarterback in the nation.
What's next: There's not much left for Bo Pelini and his staff. Nebraska is looking to sign around 20 players and would love to land a linebacker and defensive end before it's all said and done. Keep an eye on defensive ends Lake Koa-Ka'ai (Honolulu/Kamehameha) and DeVante Wilson (Corona, Calif./Corona) with Nebraska. Defensive tackle Todd Peat, Jr. (Tempe, Az./Corona Del Sol) recently visited Lincoln and walked away impressed. Nebraska will also get a visit next weekend from one of the nation's elite defensive backs in Wayne Lyons (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla./Dillard).
Oklahoma Sooners
What's happened: With 18 commits, including five from the ESPNU 150, Oklahoma is sitting with the No. 5 class in the nation right now. The Sooners added some offensive firepower with wide receiver Trey Metoyer (Whitehouse, Texas), who had over 100 catches, 1,500 yards and 23 scores this season, and running back Brandon Williams (Brookshire, Texas/Royal), who rushed for over 2,400 yards and 33 TDs. As always Oklahoma has raided the Lone Star State and landed a dozen prospects from Texas.
What's next: The Sooners are almost done and are looking to sign around 20 recruits. Athlete LaDarius Brown (Waxahachie, Texas/Waxahachie) is one to watch for with Oklahoma. The Sooners would like to add another defensive end and in-state star athlete Dominique Petties (Duncan, Okla./Duncan) could be one to keep an eye on.
Oklahoma State Cowboys
What's happened: ESPNU 150 running back Herschel Sims (Abilene, Texas) highlights Oklahoma State's class of 20 commits. Sims, who's the No. 10 running back in the country, is a well-rounded back with big-play potential. Quarterback J.W. Walsh (Denton, Texas/Guyer) looks to be a perfect fit for the Oklahoma State offense. The Cowboys have the 17th-ranked class in the country.
What's next: Don't expect much noise between now and national signing day with Mike Gundy's Cowboys. They would like to close with at least one more linebacker, but right now Oklahoma State is working on the Class of 2012 and beyond.
Texas Longhorns
What's happened:
The Mack Brown Longhorns recruiting machine keeps chugging along. As usual, Texas had most of its class locked up early. How early? By April 23, the Longhorns had already racked up 20 of their 23 commitments, and now have the nation's No. 1-ranked class, led by five-star OT Christian Westerman (Chandler, Ariz./Hamilton), the nation's top-rated offensive tackle and No. 4 recruit overall. Texas also left the state to land the top prospect from Oklahoma in athlete Josh Turner (Oklahoma City, Okla./Millwood). But don't be fooled. Texas still keeps much of the Lone Star State's best players at home, like five-star running back Malcolm Brown (Cibolo, Texas/Steele) and four-star cornerback Quandre Diggs (Angleton, Texas/Angleton) and four-star defensive tackle Desmond Jackson (Houston, Texas/Westfield). Can't ignore the fact they also signed wide receiver Jaxon Shipley (Brownwood, Texas/Brownwood), former Longhorn Jordan Shipley's younger brother.
What's next: What's left for Brown? Not much. Texas would love to close with four-star defensive lineman Jermauria Rasco (Shreveport, La./Evangel Christian Academy), but will battle LSU, FSU, Alabama and others. While there are no guarantees it hangs on to the top spot when national signing day is over, this is a talented group headed to Austin.
Texas A&M Aggies
What's happened: Texas A&M surprised many on the field this season and that should help the Aggies close better this recruiting season and beyond. A&M has only one four-star commit with kicker Taylor Bertolet (Reading, Pa./Exeter Township), but 11 of its 14 commitments are three-star recruits led by cornerback Josh Stewart (Denton, Texas/Guyer). The Aggies added four offensive linemen highlighted by Nathan Gutekunst (Humble, Texas/Atascocita).
What's next: Texas A&M is battling LSU for former Georgia QB Zach Mettenberger (El Dorado, Kan./Butler). The Aggies are in good position for athlete LaDarius Brown (Waxahachie, Texas/Waxahachie). They also hope to pry away defensive back Floyd Raven (Reserve, La./East St. John) and running back Tre Mason (Lake Worth, Fla./Park Vista) from the Bayou and Sunshine States. Safety Andre Wiggins (San Antonio, Texas/James Madison) recently made his official visit to College Station. Isiah Norton (Dallas, Texas/Kimball) is a defensive tackle to watch for here as well.
Texas Tech Red Raiders
What's happened: In their first full year to recruit at Texas Tech, Tommy Tuberville and his staff have put together one of the better classes in the Big 12. Tuberville has brought a little SEC recruiting mentality to Lubbock and the Red Raiders have grinded their way to the No. 20 class in the nation. Headlining this Red Raider group are four-star running backs Kenny Williams (Pflugerville, Texas/Hendrickson) and Bradley Marquez (Odessa, Texas) and quarterback Michael Brewer (Austin, Texas/Lake Travis) is a nice piece for the offense. With defense being a priority, it's interesting that only two of the Raiders' top 10 commits play on that side of the ball, highlighted by defensive tackle Jon Lewis (Klein, Texas/Oak) and defensive end James Castleman (Amarillo, Texas). Still, Texas Tech has reeled in four linebacker prospects and a couple of cornerbacks.
What's next: With 21 commitments already on board, there's not much left to do. Texas Tech is among the leaders for linebacker Ramik Wilson (Tampa, Fla./Jefferson). While the Red Raiders likely trail Auburn for ESPNU 150 tight end Brandon Fulse (Fort Meade, Fla./Fort Meade), they will get an official visit from him on Dec. 12. They are also in the hunt for cornerback Devin Gaulden (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla./University School) and defensive end Branden Jackson (McKeesport, Pa.) took an official visit to Texas Tech earlier this fall. They are also in the mix for in-state defensive linemen Roy Robertson (Grand Prairie, Texas/South Grand Prairie), Horace Arkadie (Irving, Texas/Irving), Brandon Alexander (Brenham, Texas/Brenham) and Isiah Norton (Dallas, Texas/Kimball). All have been offered by the Red Raiders.

WebVPN and Windows Remote Desktop Web Connection
I have setup WebVPN and it's working perfectly except when trying to use Windows Remote Desktop Web Connection through the WebVPN.
I can load the terminal services web page, load the activex and when I click connect an error notification appears saying "Object doesn't support this property or method." Now normally I would associate this with a programming problem, except that this only occurs when viewing through the WebVPN. Has anyone else had this issue? I find it hard to believe that no one else has had this problem, as I can't seem to locate anything about it.

Astros even playoff series with 7-2 win over Mets
Deciding game 3 on Tuesday, winner advances to Appalachian League Championship Series
By Hunter Reed / Greeneville Astros | September 2, 2013 10:08 PM ET
Kingsport, TN - The Greeneville Astros traveled to Kingsport on Monday night to battle the Mets at Hunter Wright Stadium in game two of the West Division Appalachian League semifinals and rolled to a 7-2 win. With the best-of-three series now even at 1-1, it all comes down to a single game to determine who advances to host game one of the Appalachian League Championship Series against the East Division-winning Pulaski Mariners.
After the first two innings on Monday, there was no score and the Astros had yet to have a base runner. Then, in the top of the third inning, the Astros broke out in a big way. With Ariel Ovando leading off, he connected on a high fly ball that sailed over the right field wall for a solo home run to get things started.
Thomas Lindauer immediately followed Ovando with a line drive double, one of his three hits on the night to go along with some good defense at shortstop. Then, after Brett Phillips got a bunt single and moved Lindauer to third, Tanner Mathis doubled on a ground ball to right field to bring in a run and leave runners at second and third. Consecutive sacrifice flies by Juan Santana and Edwin Gomez brought in both runners and gave the Astros a four-run inning to take control of the game.
In the fifth inning, each team exchanged a score in the form of a solo homerun. In the top of the fifth, the Astros' recently announced team MVP, Tanner Mathis, hit his second homer of the season on a fly ball that cleared the right field fence just under the Hunter Wright Stadium scoreboard. Then the Mets' Yeixon Ruiz, an Appalachian League All-Star selection, drove his first homer of the year to left field and cut the Astros' lead to 5-1.
Building off of Ruiz's big swing, the Mets came back with another score in the sixth inning. This time, it was Jeyckol De Leon who led off with a home run and brought the Mets within three runs of the Astros.
After a scoreless seventh inning, the Astros erased the Mets two previous runs by adding a score apiece in both the eighth and ninth innings. After Chase McDonald got on with a walk to lead off the eighth, he made his way around to third and scored on an Ariel Ovando sacrifice fly.
In the ninth, Tanner Mathis got on base after being hit by a pitch and moved Brett Phillips over to second. Then, after the Mets got a force out on Phillips at third on a Juan Santana ground ball, they made an error on a throw to first trying to get Santana out and the ball sailed into foul territory to allow Mathis to score all the way from first.
Astros' reliever Gerardo Ramirez entered the game in the bottom of the ninth and finished off the Mets with a 1-2-3 inning to get the Astros their first win in the playoffs since 2004. With seven runs, the Astros also set a new club record for a playoff game.
Prior to Ramirez closing the game, the Astros had strong outings from left-handed starter Christopher Lee and right-hander Austin Chrismon. Lee earned the win after pitching the first five innings and giving up one run on five hits with four strikeouts. Then, Chrismon followed with three innings of work and gave up one run on three hits with five strikeouts.
The Astros will return to Kingsport on Tuesday for the deciding game three of the series. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00pm. The Astros will have right-hander Frederick Tiburcio (3-2) on the mound while the Mets are set to have the right-handed Robert Whalen (3-2).

Dacetini, Formicidae, Hymenoptera, Insecta, Arthropoda, Animalia
Full Range: Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama.
Costa Rican Range: Atlantic lowlands (Hitoy Cerere Biological Reserve, La Selva Biological Station), Cordillera de Talamanca (Monteverde), Cordillera Volcanica Central (Zona Protectora at 1070m elevation).
Mandibles in side view straight, not broadly curved ventrally; mandibles relatively short, subtriangular, much of the apical portion meeting along a serially toothed masticatory margin when closed (former Smithistruma); leading edge of the scape with simple straight hairs present, projecting apically, not toward base of scape; color brown-black; face punctate; sides of posterior half of mesosoma completely and densely punctulate; head very elongate, CI 55-61; disc of postpetiole smooth and shining. Also see Bolton (2000:212).
Natural History
Members of the genus are all predaceous, with a static pressure mode of attack (Bolton 1999).
This species occurs in wet forest habitats. I collected the species from Winkler samples of forest floor leaf litter in Monteverde and Hitoy Cerere. Uli Wagner collected a dealate queen in her study of forest floor litter fauna of La Selva Biological Station. At 1070m in the Zona Protectora of Braulio Carrillo National Park, a cloud forest habitat, I found an interesting co-occurrence of this and two other ant species. I looked beneath an epiphyte mat in a treefall, and found what appeared to be two contiguous nests, one of Cyphomyrmex salvini complex, and one of Strumigenys nevermanni. The disturbance to the epiphyte mat had jumbled them together, and I collected a series of both species into a vial. Upon examining the vial later, I discovered three workers of P. probatrix in addition to more abundant workers of Cyphomyrmex and Strumigenys. Could this indicate something special about the nesting habits of probatrix?
Original Description
Smithistruma probatrix Brown 1964:186, pl. 16, fig. 3. Holotype worker: Mexico, Chiapas, Ocosingo, 25.vi.1950, Berlese funnel sample (C. & M. Goodnight & L. J. Stannard) [MCZ].
Later moved to Pyramica. See Bolton (2000) for complete synonymy.

Lomography Fisheye Baby 110: The Forever Baby2013-07-14 2 Share Tweet
This camera is the baby of the Fisheye and it's the baby that never grows up!
I got this camera, along with the Diana Baby 110 from the super sale ongoing last month in stores! When I first saw this camera, I was really intrigued by the way it functioned. How small it was, how the 110 film could fit, and how it actually functioned with the bulb and normal functions! I had many questions about this camera, and the only way for me to know how to use this is simply just to experience it first-hand.
I brought my camera out on a few occasions, from day to night and indoor to outdoor.
This set of photos were shot at night, with the use of the *Fritz the Blitz adapter kit* ,along side with my Fritz the Blitz flash from the La Sardina! In the dark out on the streets, I was not sure how the photos would turn out, especially since it was the first time I used this baby. In this stream of photos, it was over exposed as I had set the flash to the 'furthest' setting and had overpowered the film.
I also visited Toys'R'Us with a couple of friends, and I had my baby with me! These photos were taken indoors, also with the use of an external flash.
Here, we were on our way to a local flea market and took advantage of the bright sun in the open, knowing that film loooooves sunlight.
In conclusion, this camera is truly a versatile camera, and its so easy to carry it around especially when the sun is out and shining! I would definitely be bringing this camera around where ever I go and capturing memorable memories.
Pocket-sized cameras for fun, portable photography! These 110 Cameras shoot with the miniature 110 film format. Lomography's line of 110 cameras are super-easy to use and perfect for your spontaneous snapshots. They are cute and fully functional at the same time! Buy yours from the Online Shop today!

text: Show Hide image Politics 25 September 2008 Remember the Nine For black children in 1950s Arkansas, going to school was political. Graeme Green visits the scene Sign up for our weekly email * Park Street is quiet today. I walk past neat, sun-baked lawns and rows of houses, the Stars and Stripes waving from porches. One house has an "Obama for President" sign in the front window. On 4 September 1957, this street in Arkansas's state capital, Little Rock, was noisy, crowded and charged with an atmosphere of violence. Nine young black students were about to start at the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School, an impressive-looking building just across the road from where I'm standing. They were met with a thousand-strong mob of angry white locals and soldiers from the Arkansas National Guard, who barred their entry to the school with bayonets. The crisis that followed became one of the most important events in the history of the civil rights movement. I'm guided around this National Historic Site by Spirit Trickey, daughter of Minnijean Brown Trickey, one of the "Nine". Fifty years after her mother attended Central High, Spirit is back here working as a park ranger for the school and its excellent museum. She paints a vivid picture of what took place. Arkansas was one of several Southern states that refused to accept a 1954 Supreme Court ruling that schools be desegregated. Its conservative governor, Orval Faubus, called in the Arkansas National Guard for the black students' first day at school under the pretence they would keep the peace - in fact, they had orders to block them from entering. President Dwight D Eisenhower moved (many say reluctantly), sending federal troops to enforce integration. The 101st Airborne Division set up camp in the sports stadium behind the school and, after weeks of legal wrangling, the black students began attending Central under military protection. This was a make-or-break situation - had Eisenhower not intervened, the black students would have been forced to return to segregated schools, as happened elsewhere, a victory that would have emboldened racists across the country to resist change. We enter the school and walk the empty corridors where the black students were tormented daily. White students called them names, threw food, pushed them down stairs. One, Melba Patillo, had acid sprayed in her eyes. "They had soldiers to protect them," Spirit explains, "but soldiers couldn't go into bathrooms, changing rooms, classrooms. There were about a hundred kids who made it their mission to make the Little Rock Nine's lives miserable." In the cafeteria hall, Spirit tells the "chilli incident" story. Her mother, Minnijean, was carrying her tray of food back to a table when some white boys kicked out their chairs and refused to let her pass. When they kicked her legs again, Minnijean "dropped" her plate of chilli on one of them. A soldier from the 101st rushed her to safety. She was suspended for six days. Two months later, after being assaulted by a group of girls, Minnijean retorted, "Leave me alone, white trash." A teacher saw; Minnijean was expelled. Cards were passed among the white students saying "One down, eight to go". Ernest Green, the only senior of the Nine, was the first black student to graduate from Central High. The army had to spread soldiers throughout the grounds for the ceremony (attended by the then relatively unknown Martin Luther King). Ernest walked across the stage to receive his diploma even though he had received bomb and death threats. Governor Faubus closed Little Rock's public high schools the following year rather than desegregate them, and the eight remaining black students went on to graduate elsewhere. But when schools, including Central High, reopened in 1959 they did so under a statewide system of integration. Arkansas remains a conservative state, though there are liberal pockets, such as the bohemian town of Eureka Springs. Of the state's 75 counties, 43 are "dry", or alcohol-free. Churches line the roadside. The area is also home to The Great Passion Play, a hugely popular outdoor staging of Christ's last week on earth, and the Creation Truth Foundation's Earth History Museum. The 1957 crisis continues to be a big part of the state capital's identity. People around the world know Little Rock for two things, says Spirit: Bill Clinton and the Little Rock Nine. Central High itself has changed, however - the student intake for 2007/2008 was 50 per cent black, 46 per cent white and 4 per cent "other". But, says Spirit, "Central isn't exempt from the problems that stem from our recent history. To come out of something that was systematically implemented - legal segregation - you see the residual effects in any school in America." According to young people she does outreach work with, Central's cafeteria is still divided into areas: black, white and mixed. I drive across town to look at Testament, a memorial sculpture unveiled in 2005 on the lawn of the Arkansas State Capitol. Beside the statues of black students carrying their schoolbooks are plaques bearing inscriptions. "We wanted to widen options for ourselves, and later for our children," says Ernest Green. Given what they endured to expand options for themselves and future generations, what do the Little Rock Nine think about the fact that, just 50 years later, there is the possibility of a black president? "This is something they maybe never envisioned in their lives," says Spirit. "To me, it shows change is taking place." Spirit appreciates what a historic moment this is. "My great-grandmother was a slave. My mother was blocked from getting an education because of the colour of her skin. I feel fortunate to be in a time and place where a black candidate is possible." Her optimism is tempered by pragmatism, however. The race problems of 1957 haven't disappeared. In Arkansas, she says, "like many parts of America, segregation still exists - not just in schools, but in neighbourhoods and communities". The possibility of a black president is, like the integration of Central High, a step, not a job done.

It will be difficult to find someone untouched by A R Rahman's music. Winner of Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards, Grammy Awards, Golden Globe, and National Awards, the Mozart of Madras has ensured a worldwide following.
Rahman was born on January 6, and what better way to pay tribute to this genius other than through music. YourStory presents a list of 10 startups in the music industry.
Saavn, is one name that props up when someone talks about online music streaming. Saavn works with over 500 record labels and has a customer base of more than 10 million unique users, two-thirds of whom are based in India.
Gaana, meaning song in Hindi, comes from the Times Internet stable. It is in competition with Saavn over the user base and differentiating factor arises from the user experience and the time to stream a song. Gaana has created a playlist for the birthday boy.
Dhingana apparently similar music streaming site was questioned about an uncertain future by a leading tech site, as one of the partners withdrew its license from Dhingana. Though we did not hear any songs from the partners who decided not to support, Dhingana kept the spirit alive by having this list of songs.

Toledo native, Wolverine legend set for Michigan Hall of Fame induction
Organizers of next week's Gridiron Greats of Michigan Hall of Fame ceremony could save some money by making Bob Chappuis the event's guest speaker.
Because he is being inducted into the hall that evening, Chappuis, a Toledo native who was runner-up in the 1947 Heisman Trophy voting to Notre Dame's Johnny Lujack, is expected to be present anyway. And even at 87 years old, he is plenty sharp enough to share captivating stories of his life, from both decades ago and from recent times.
Chappuis, who played four sports at DeVilbiss High from 1937-41, is one of 14 to be inducted into the hall next Saturday in Novi, Mich. New UM athletic director Dave Brandon - a player from 1970-73 - and Lloyd Carr, who coached the Wolverines from 1995-2007, also will be honored.
The hall honors not just Wolverine players, but any player who played in the state of Michigan.
Chappuis says he doesn't necessarily enjoy sharing stories of his days as a college and professional football player or of his World War II encounters - some of in which he narrowly avoided death - or of his appearance on the cover of Time magazine in '47. But often he succumbs to such requests when pressed by any of his nine grandchildren.
A story many have not heard is how Chappuis recently spent about a week at the University of Michigan Hospital because of a blood infection. From there, he entered a care center near his home in Ann Arbor and, following a near month stay, he was released about two weeks ago.
He has not declared whether he'll attend next week's ceremony, and if he does, it will be with the assistance of his son, Robert."I think when you get to be my age, your concerned about your health," Chappuis said. "But I'm feeling fine at this point. I'll try and make it as long as my son can drive me over there."
Chappuis and his wife of 61 years, Anne, have lived in Ann Arbor for most of the past decade, after spending much of their adult lives in Indiana - first in South Bend and then in Fort Wayne where Chappuis was vice president in charge of labor relations for an agri-business firm.
After leaving UM, where he excelled as a halfback and as a passer, Chappuis played two years of professional ball in the All-American Football Conference. He retired abruptly because, according to an interview he did with the publication European Stars and Stripes, Chappuis wanted to "enjoy a more leisurely lifestyle and to be able to visit Ann Arbor for those fall football games."
Last year, Chappuis estimates he attended "a half dozen" of the Wolverines' eight games at Michigan Stadium.
"I remember when I was in high school and I stepped foot in the stadium for the first time, and it was just awesome," Chappuis said. "I've never forgotten it."

According to several OLBers, at 8:15pm LBPD Sgt. Doug Mock arrived at Lincoln Park and told the group that by 10pm the police would arrive and confiscate all OLB property on-site.
When reached at 8:45pm by the Long Beach Post, LBPD spokesperson Sgt. David Marander provided the following explanation: "We were asking Occupy Long Beach members to help us by asking them to remove items. […] They've got some stuff that we don't believe is essential [for] their staying."
Marander clarified that OLB was not being evicted from the site, and that police would not necessarily be confiscating any property -- and definitely not sleeping bags, blankets, et cetera. The issue, Marander said, was "the storage of personal items that aren't necessary and are becoming a problem."
By 10:00pm, OLB had packed up a large portion of their collective property, but at 10:15pm four police officers arrived and instructed OLB to remove the remainder of what was on the sidewalk, citing municipal code without providing information on the specific violation. OLB refused to comply, saying they had been told by officers earlier that they may keep "essential items" on-site, and that the remaining items were indeed essential to the Occupation.
Eventually police cited LBMC Sec. 14.04.040, "Goods on Sidewalks Prohibited," which disallows "leav[ing] any goods, boxes, truck, barrels, trunks or any other article or thing upon any public sidewalk … for more than sixty (60) minutes."
However, police left the scene saying no OLB goods would be confiscated on this night.
These events -- or non-events, depending on your perspective -- came on the eve of what had been slated to be city council discussion of a report from the City Manager Pat West's office "on the practices of other cities to accommodate the Occupy protestors, and a discussion of options the City may consider to provide a free-speech zone or other means to address the issue." However, the matter is not on Tuesday's council agenda.
OLB has complained that, contrary to council instructions, West's report was complied without OLB input -- which the report acknowledges, noting that OLB was met with only on November 29 in the capacity of "provid[ing] input on the report before it is officially released."
Councilmember Rae Gabelich's recently recounted to the Long Beach Post a November 26 conversation she had with West, wherein she expressed her displeasure that OLB had not yet been consulted in the report's compilation. "'We gave you the mission to come back with some ideas, and you haven't even met with these people yet,'" she recalled saying to West. "… He said the holiday had [interfered with the process], and I said, 'Wait a minute, Pat -- it's been two weeks.'"
On the group's website, Occupy Long Beach discusses their perspective on the circumstances of the November 29 meeting with West:
The hastily arranged meeting was quite clearly an after-thought to the Report - viewed by the City Manager as an unpleasant "hurdle" erected by the Council, rather than an essential part of his function. In fact, the "meeting" took place only after OLB had taken the initiative to contact the City Manager on November 28 [sic], because his office made no effort to meet with OLB before that time. By delaying communications with OLB until the Report had essentially been written, the City Manager circumvented the Council's mandate that the preparation of the Report should involve "dialogue" with OLB. Instead, the City Manager merely engaged in a "reading" of the Report to members of OLB's Civic Engagement/Legal Committee.

Understanding why you REALLY perform Cross Browser Testing
Often the term Cross Browser Functionality Testing is used in the web application world but many don't understand the major reason it is necessary.
My very first article for BIT Tech Digest focused on the role of Software Quality Assurance Testing and what it takes to be a successful QA Professional. I also mentioned Cross browser testing which included a scenario for testing a video player as an example.
Read article in more detail below:
Number 1 Reason to become a Software Quality Assurance Professional…
To break things down a bit more, all browsers use a "Web Browser Engine" to display content. The Web browser engine is also known as the rendering engine or layout engine. Simply put, even when you are testing the same browser but different versions of it, you will most likely be using an older "Web browser Engine". This is why you may see a client request for testing Safari 3 and Safari 4 as Safari 3 will most likely be using an older version of the web browser engine.
Read about Web Browser Engine's in more detail below:
A few of the Web browser Engine's are listed below:
Trident – used by Internet Explorer and developed by Microsoft
Gecko – used by Firefox and developed by Mozilla
Webkit – used by Safari and Chrome, initially developed by Apple but has since expanded
When building a product it is important for everyone involved in the delivery of the product to know which browsers to focus the most development and testing on. You can do this by using a browser usage counter such as the W3Counter.
Below is an article from Impressive Webs with a list of browser counters:
There are many times where QA Testing is simply saying, "let's test, let's get this done". However, for your own knowledge you may want to try and understand the inner workings of why you are doing something. As the knowledge you gain may end up being the knowledge you use to impress someone on an interview or at a networking event.
"Testing is a skill. While this may come as a surprise to some people it is a simple fact." (Fewster, Graham")

Hong Kong, China (AFP) Dec 26, 2012
A new video emerged on Wednesday of an Australian man kidnapped by suspected Muslim extremists in the Philippines more than a year ago.
Warren Rodwell, from Sydney, was seized from his home in the southern Philippine town of Ipil on December 5, 2011.
It was believed that he was taken by the Abu Sayyaf group, which he confirms in the new video.
The SITE monitoring group said the one minute and 57 second clip had been posted on a YouTube channel linked to Abu Sayyaf.
In it, Rodwell says the date is December 16, 2012 and holds a newspaper from the previous day. He says he was kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf 54 weeks ago.
He last appeared in a video in May that was believed to be dated from the end of March. In another video in January, reportedly sent to his Filipina wife Miraflor Gutang, Rodwell said his captors were demanding US$2 million in ransom.
At the time, Philippine authorities said it was possible Rodwell was being held by the Abu Sayyaf, an Islamic extremist group founded in the 1990s with seed money from Al-Qaeda.

Kiplinger's ranking lauds value of USC education
The University of South Carolina is among the nation's best values for public higher education -- delivering the best B.A. for the buck -- according to Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine.
USC is No. 42 in the February issue's "Top 100 Best Values in Public Education" ranking, which cites institutions that, "despite shrinking budgets, deliver a stellar education at an affordable price."
Dr. Dennis Pruitt, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, said the rankings are another confirmation of what record number of applications and enrollment at the university indicate.
"The Kiplinger 'Best Value' ranking is one more confirmation that the University of South Carolina is among the best public universities in the nation for academics and affordability," Pruitt said. "Our record number of applicants and enrolled freshmen last fall clearly show that students and their parents recognize that USC is honoring its commitment of offering an outstanding undergraduate education at an affordable cost."
Pruitt said the university's Gamecock Guarantee, which promises that undergraduate tuition and technology fee will be covered for up to four years for students who meet the program's academic, financial and participation criteria, also is helping to keep the cost of a USC education manageable.
The rankings are based on a combination of academics and affordability. Kiplinger's analyzed more than 500 public, four-year schools and examined SAT and ACT scores, admission and retention rates, student-faculty ratios and four- and six-year graduation rates, along with tuition costs, student debt, graduation and need-based aid.
Among Southeastern Conference schools, USC leads Louisiana State University, the University of Arkansas, the University of Tennessee, Auburn University, the University of Alabama and Mississippi State University.
USC also is ranked ahead of major research universities such as Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, Rutgers University and the University of Massachusetts.
Kiplinger's ranking is among several recent accolades earned by USC.
In August, the same week that it welcomed its largest freshman class, USC was recognized in U.S.News & World Report's 2011 "America's Best Colleges Guide" for its outstanding programs that encourage student success and for having the nation's top undergraduate international business program.
The magazine cited USC for having one of the nation's best programs for First-Year Experience, Learning Communities and Undergraduate Research/Creative Projects. USC also was featured in an article, titled "The Care and Feeding of Freshmen."

A fairytale comes to life in this short RPG in classic console style.
In order to rate this game, you should own it before.
No reviews yet!
For centuries, the kingdom of Whiteleaf has been famous for its mead – the delicious honey wine. So delicious is the mead that wars have started because of it. Many times have neighboring countries tried to invade Whiteleaf to steal the secrets of the mead, but its people always stood their ground. Protected by the knight order of the mug – powerful in ancient times when recruits eagerly joined the order searching for fame and glory, the Knights are nowadays a shadow of they once were. Generations of peace on the land have made kings see the knights as unnecessary, withdrawing the support they once had. But a new threat is coming to Whiteleaf, and only the crumbling castle of the knights and its small band of recruits can stand in its way. Orczz is set in the fantasy-themed Kingdom of Whiteleaf, famous for its delicious honey wine – the mead. The player controls the Knight Order of the Mug, protectors of Whiteleaf and the mead, who are once again called to defend the land against an invading horde of orcs. The game features a story driven campaign with 6 different areas, minigames, achievements and 40 different units.

He's been in the stands watching the drama at Sydney FC unfold over the past 18 weeks and now midfielder Terry Antonis will make his first A-League appearance this season in the under-siege club's most critical match.
Antonis will make his long-awaited comeback from injury against Perth at Allianz Stadium on Saturday with coach Frank Farina confirming the 20-year-old will start.
No team is under more pressure to win this round than Sydney who have endured a tumultuous week since their 3-0 drubbing by Adelaide last week where frustrated fans revolted and called for Farina's axing.
After suffering their seventh loss in 10 matches and a club-record third-straight defeat at home, the entire Sky Blues squad are hungrier than ever to prove they're still in the title hunt.
But perhaps no-one is more eager than Antonis to step out onto the pitch this Saturday.
Having endured almost nine months out, after rupturing a muscle in his thigh, Antonis rejoined first-team training in December.
He's since played three times for the youth side that last weekend clinched the title, with Antonis scoring the opening goal in their 2-1 victory over Brisbane.
And now he says having gotten any nerves out of his system playing in the youth team, he's ready to go.
"I've been out for so long now I'm just so excited to be back," he told AAP on Friday.
"I gotten all the nerves out now so I'm just ready to rock and roll.
"Yes, there's a lost of pressure on us this week for sure after what happened last week but the boys have been coping really well and training really well.
"We're all just really hungry to win this weekend."
Farina also confirmed Socceroos defender Sasa Ognenovski will make his Sydney FC debut on Saturday after signing with the club this month.
The 34-year-old centre-back has not played since being released by Qatari club Umm Salal in December but Farina, who coached him at Brisbane Roar, feels he'll be able to slot straight in.
"Yes they'll both start," Farina told Sky Sports Radio's the Big Sports Breakfast on Friday.
"Big Sasa he's looking good physically. He hasn't played for a couple of months but I've known Sasa since my days in Brisbane and he's a real pro and he'll add something for us.
"And young Terry it's great to see him back. He had a career-threatening injury so we had to handle him with kid gloves but he's ready to go now and hopefully he'll pick up where he left off."
