Being the shortest in my high school gym class
Attempts to play basketball brought no success
Broke my finger while trying to catch a pass
Leaping to take balls from tall girls? What a mess!
Always loved football, baseball and soccer too
But in basketball I succumbed to defeat
Just couldn't get into it, that is true
Till Dad took me to see the Miami Heat
Startled he was, watching me jump up and down
Although my enthusiasm was contrived
The cheers of other fans my loud voice did drown
This was the last time I saw my Dad alive
I'm so thankful now that I went to that game
Dad was so grateful for these moments we shared
When I watch basketball now, it's not the same
It was Dad and not the sport for which I cared

He's never heard one lesson of this class,
but has to get a grade in history.
So he's shown up at last, sure he will pass
the test that prior students say is easy!
He feels no need to read the test's directions.
It uses letter symbols; he can tell
he only needs to trust his recollections
about the fifty states. He should do well!
He feels assured that Md has to be
for Maryland, and Missouri is Mo.
It's very clear Nebraska is Ne.
But why No? Everyone should know that NO means NO!
Ca, Pa, In; a piece of cake!
Then he sees a few that are an utter
puzzlement or just a huge mistake!
Pb, he's sure, is only peanut butter!
Sg might be Singapore, or else Saigon.
But how are those in U.S. History?
Fr for France? Just what is going on?
The cocky guy is feeling kind of queasy.
At last he thinks to go back to the start
and read the test's instructions. . . O M G!
The test was on the periodic chart
of elements! Wrong class. It's Chemistry!!!
*The correct answers of the test were really
Md for Mendelevium, Mo for Molybdenum,
Ne for Neon, No for Nobelium, Ca for Calcium,
Pa for Protactinium, In for Indium, pb for Lead,
Sg for Seaborgium and Fr for Francium (he was close on that one!)
As for me, I would stay in the history class!!!

Miles in a coaster, a day and hours elapsed,
Felt the utmost relief when the whirling wheels halted;
So weary and dizzy, even a smile seemed so hideous
But an in peace slumber I desperately craved for;
Eyes wide-opened at the chirping of euphonious birds,
Stirred myself with hankering for the glimpse of exquisite village,
But still a dawn blanketed in frosty mist, sight diminished,
I'd only steal the blurry scene of Tang valley;
An hour after, when the glorious sun showed its perky visage,
Outside I stood relishing the splendor of the hamlet
And savoring the icy breeze wafting underneath my nose
With succulent aroma from the Mother Nature;
Amidst undulating hills and mountains down lay a quiet place,
So called Tang enclosed by rich vegetation and iridescent river
That embellishes the heavenly place superfluously picturesque,
Enticing all man into the blissful homeland of Tang Valley;
Houses clustered and down beneath the farmyard,
Divine school stands with its pride upheld
And hallowed veneration anyone would esteem,
It is so-called Tang Central School elevated of late;
Established in 1965, primary to middle since last year,
Now shines the school proud and gratified of its new recognition
As the central school bestowed with prerogatives and autonomy,
And concurringly, rejoicing its Golden Jubilee in eons;
Postures upright like inert figurines in a park,
Crescendo of unripe singsong voices spring at eight and thirty,
Crooning the sincere words of praise and homage to Tsa-Wa-Sum
That infuses the all hearts with never like joie de vivre;
A trickle of erudite whizzes and astute greenhorns
Gathered deep delved into a bond of kinship with no antipathy,
But an unremitting fondness amongst solicitous brethren-
A purveyor of ecstasy as its depiction I call for the beautiful home.

She said "I'll show you mine
if you're willing to show me yours."
I didn't waste a second
I promptly dropped my drawers!
I was rather embarrased
She looked and started to giggle
My little man was at attention
While the boys did their jiggle
After she stopped her laughing
I thought it would be my turn
Me an eager student
willing and able to learn
In the end I learned my lesson
She wanted to look through my tests
But my young mind was occupied
Transfixed by her beautiful breasts
So I quickly pulled up my pants
Time to put the two boys away
My little man sadly shrinking
Disappointed that he couldn't play
When she seen my embarrassment
She said "okay come have a look."
Please let it be her Yoo hoo
and not just some silly book
Holding out the band of her panties
She said "go ahead and reach in"
I was a happy explorer
Extreamly eager to begin
As the girl started moaning
I was sure I had got it right
She said "if you want to find it,
perhaps we need a little light."
So she started undressing
A vision there before my eyes
Her breasts a bit of perfection
Perky and just the right size
She said we'd have to work quickly
Before her parents came back
She pushed me down on the bed
and promptly began her attack
With force she ripped of my trousers
Thankfully she knew what to do
I let her have her way with me
The boys were no longer blue
She looked at me with a smile
Told me "it's time for you to go.
The next lesson will be better,
I'll teach you how to be slow!"

I was born unto this world
A little boy called James
I was just like all the rest
Who in the playground played normal games
I knew my life was in trouble
By the time I reached the age of five
My mother had so many friends
I wondered why I was alive
The kids all used to laugh at me
In my short trousers and bloodied knees
If only they had known
What was going on, in the inside of me
Would they ever know
Why a mother would put you down
And pretend that your not there
As another arrives from out of town
Have they ever wondered
To go to school with clothes unwashed
Sleep on a concrete floor
While your Mother's comfortably sloshed
Do they ever stop and wonder
What happens around them day by day
They can't, because they are young like me
When all they want to do is play
My teens are around the corner
To secondary school I go
I survive and I get wiser
As I intend my life to flow
As we travel down life's highways
When we are born they are seldom written
You know the roads you want to take
For inside you, your internally smitten

Can this be school? So dark and worn
a backless seat, walls of scorn.
Someone said, "We need a school.
This cement relic here will do."
There sits a boy who's come to learn.
See his human interest yearn.
He must write on several sheets.
The desk tells its own tale beneath.
By the naked light of day
the schoolboy makes his troubled way
among the dust and cobwebs here
with momentary gunfire near.
A busy mind and active arm
quiet protection from alarm
a child of turmoil and of woe
in sponsored clothes by UNESCO.
Where are the crayons, books and pens?
When does he share a task with friends?
Are there computers in his reach?
Does the adult know how to teach?
Will he have a nice warm meal?
What keeps up his schoolboy zeal?
Can he tell Mom what he knows?
Can she see what school bestows?
So, here's to schoolboy, struggling hard
against the overwhelming odds
to break through to his excellence
with swagger and self-confidence.
In this place not fit to be
he will work most diligently
and in time get educated
by some teacher, dedicated.

Honesty is the best policy
That's a lesson I was taught at school
But today in a world of trickery
Is that merely advice for a fool?
One time a person's word was his bond
A handshake was used to seal a deal
Today, no oath can be relied on
For some are always trying to steal
I shall be honest in my action
For to myself I have to be true
In each and every situation
No matter what others say or do
Peace of mind is most important to me
That's why I shall always strive to be free
To act in all truth and sincerity
For honesty is the best policy
I tried to write this poem in the style of some poems I learned and loved as a child. I have a special fondness for balanced rhyming poems. I think they are easier for children to learn. I believe it is important for children to learn the importance of honesty and I dedicate this poem to them.

A hot tear is burning my eye
For jolly school days start to fly
Leaving me lone in a dark way
And lovely friends will be away
My heart can never say goodbye
And let my soul about to die
Without you I will be as hay
And to fast days an easy prey
I will miss you- the shining sky
With no help or even supply
But our school days will be my ray
That can guide me on a dark day
I will never lose you, my eye
Nor your shine can I ever deny
Like boats we may sail away
But we will anchor in our home bay
Written by (Mr. Sherif)
With my best wishes

What a sad moment to say goodbye?!
And spread our wings so as to fly
Leaving lovely school days away
And tracing our paths in the life way
I will miss you with smiling faces
who draw smiles in school places
I will miss you the shining sky
That with knowledge makes me high
True we may go in multi- ways
But all my life you will be my rays
Forever we'll be as one tie
Never your love in my heart shall die
We may be like fallen leaves
But our stem firm and never cleaves
We will collect drops of morning dew
And warm our minds with learning too
We will join high education
Then we can develop our nation
We will raise it in the world high
And its progress no one can deny

Oh to have tools to hold back Time!
To make the hours just stay,
And let the years stop in their prime,
Age held back in delay!
To have the chance to dance again,
Laugh more and worry less,
Relish the music we had then-
All that sixty's goodness!
The jukebox songs and ice cream days
Bobby socks and barn dance,
Tears at high school graduation day,
Slum books and teen romance.
Although we cannot hold back Time
He simply runs too fast!
I hold him in my words and rhyme-
And write the things of the past!

O.K., let's see where you are with your math,
Which areas do we need to work through.
Algebra, space, number, or measurement,
Which topic do you need to review?
Today, algebra, a fantastically obtuse idea,
Instead of numbers, use letters, counting the ABC's.
By the end of this tutorial you'll love these letters,
Counting everything with ease.
Words like simplify, expand, and collect like terms,
Will become your new second diction.
Don't use these letters like in tedious essays,
Nor like when expressing your poetic fiction.
Algebra strives to abbreviate everything,
Every single concept's to be generalized.
It establishes an effective working formula,
Making it all neat, sleek, tidy, and stylized.
But don't ask me who uses this at work,
Laborers, builders or for financial investments.
Just make sure you use it next Monday morning,
When you're sitting your math exam assessments.

I've many rooms of memories
inside the storehouse of my mind.
While visiting the sixties room,
I close my eyes and think "Rewind."
Late sixties find me in my teens.
I'm groovin' looking for a chance
to go to parties with my friends.
Come on, y'all. Hit the floor. Let's dance.
When I'm sixteen I have my boyfriend's
huge class ring. I'm going steady!
At seventeen I give it back.
For this commitment, I'm not ready.
I am "Most Unpredictable"
and "Wittiest" according to
schoolmates who marked their ballots for
that grand election called "Who's Who?"
We members of the Beta Club
assist with worthy projects. We
sometimes miss class to meet and, just
for that brief time, are lesson free!
Now graduation comes to mind;
that was in nineteen seventy.
I'll move on to another room
to relish that sweet memory.

Each day when I leave to go to my school,
I feel sick in my stomach to the core.
My father's been ill for months, maybe years,
He's losing a fight in a war.
Each day when I sit in class at my school,
I dread. My nerves have me shot.
My folks fight and clash throughout every day,
Stay together? Maybe. Maybe not.
Each day when I walk home from school,
I jitter, my pulse runs on high.
Will all of my family still be alive, or
To one of them will I be saying good bye?
Each day when I lay alone in my bed,
I bury, into my pillow, my fear.
I hate living a life full of angst and blue,
Worry's now my friend, it is my peer.
I will miss elementary school,
Even though it was not cool,
I will learn to get along,
Without school and a gong,
Friends I will hug,
Squish like a bug,
Some friends are smart,
Enemies are tart,
Others are not,
Like a fish the will get caught,
We did not fight,
We did what was right,
Teachers I have liked,
For high school I am psyched.

When I was young I hated school;
in playing truant saw no harm.
How could I throw away the fun
which I enjoyed on grandpa's farm?
My mum was strict and had her way
while the pied piper played his fife!
So common sense won in the end;
I taught in schools most of my life!

"What are we ever going to use this for?"
Students ask every single school day.
So sit back, grab a coffee, get comfortable,
And all the reasons, to you, I will say.
Fundamentally it's about allowing people to
Fully realize the value of their own mentality.
To make them know ethics and empathy,
Solve problems, be social, owning morality.
Education develops language and literacy,
Listening and comprehension sufficiently.
It develops an ability to solve small and large problems,
Solving them efficiently.
Students will learn, first hand, how to explore
An active community with a rich diversity.
And how to repair self-esteem, cooperatively respecting others,
Whenever they face adversity.
They will refine gross and fine motor skills,
Learn how to set targets and achieve their goals.
And whenever things seem to become too much,
They learn how to jump over potholes.
Education is not about capitalism which produces too much,
Sharing nothing, at too high a price.
And it's not about communism failing as an ascetic morality,
Essentially a fool's paradise.
Education creates peacemakers, healers, restorers,
Storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form.
It creates people with moral courage to make this world a habitable,
Happy, humane thunderstorm.
In high school did I die?
Oh but to give life a try!
Is it all part of God's dream?
Or should I just croak or scream!

I knew I was good at opening doors,
To blossom their thoughts and ignite.
Everyone had their own little glittering globe,
My job was to make them shine bright.
The interview went great in the London office,
When I talked the talk that I walk.
The panel embraced my every word,
A maths teacher that knew how to chalk.
The next job interview was over the phone,
The principal needed me to teach Japan.
"Japanese? Hell yeah", then I'd change it to French,
A year of languages? Yep, I was the man.
And then the call to the next principal,
An Aussie, renovating his foyer.
Six years of a one year trial maths job,
To the kids I was the mathematic destroyer.
And now a call from the state's executive,
Starting next term with our indigenous youth.
"Teach and inspire, excite and succeed",
I'm to teach the mathematical truth.
I'm a teacher of teens, I teach every day,
To be reasonable, rational and logical.
So when they're grown up and out and about,
They'll wisely "out think" any obstacle.
School Dazed at Princess High
She was such a pretty talker
Yet she was still my frenemy
The lies she spoke were convincing
She dished a lot of dirt on me
Each of my buds they believed her
Blue eyes and a beautiful face
I tried to limit the damage
Instead I became a disgrace
Her mean words she wrapped in flowers
Soft petals slipping off her tongue
Barbed words she concealed in colours
Each sylable she said really stung
None of them could see her ugly
Until she turned her words on them
As each of them started to notice
They wished to be my friend again
The girl she learned all about Karma
A verbal punch disguised with a smile
Knocked down from the perch of a princess
Kids much prefer substance over style
If you're acquainted with a pretty talker
It's really best that you stay away
No reason to become a target
Don't take part in the games that they play

I love living with my OCD,
But a disorder it is not.
I work in the local library you see,
Where books have their own spot.
I threw out the Dewey system,
And bought books with colourful spines.
And now every book is arranged in groups,
Under their colourful signs.
There's red books and blue books, and
The groups of black, white and green.
So now the library is all organised,
Into a rainbowed sort of a theme.
Some folks seem to think I'm jumbled,
Creating a muddled type of mess.
But I disagree one hundred percent with them,
I am an ordered success.

We held our 64th reunion just the other day.
We were the best class of 1949 we'd say.
Just us guys alone (we were not co-ed),
The girls came later after we all were wed.
Those of us who were left after all the years
would remember those gone and then shed some tears.
We lost some in Korea and some just passed away.
And some we couldn't find even to this day.
But of those who were left, we had a good core.
And we'd meet every year, and now for 64.
Some couldn't make it this time because they were ill.
Others would just forget as we elders commonly will.
A few came with walkers and then some with canes.
We were all old friends but couldn't remember some names.
We'd look around and see lots of white hair
and then there were others who had none to spare.
We ate and we laughed and some even took pills
We listened to each other and knew most had some ills.
The ills weren't discussed because it wasn't quite polite
and we wanted to think only of our high school day's delight.
Those were the years when we were just starting out.
We had health and vigor and had no reason to pout.
We were students and athletes and musicians too.
Our futures were bright and life was still new.
We lived so many years since we left our great school,
It's now all in our memories that shine like a jewel.
We meet together to share those wonderful gems
And to see each other again like all good old friends.
As we depart the reunion, shake hands and give hugs,
We stop to wonder with several deep shrugs
Who will be here next year and who will be gone.
We hope all will return and see the next dawn.
We are all octogenarians and still like to hang around.
We hope to be here longer and live to paint the town.
So for all you guys out there, we'll meet again next year.
Our 65th will be a blast and for that we'll give a cheer.

I don't live on the waving sea,
But I wave on land as far as eye can see.
I am the shade from summer's sun,
The shining stock on a hunter's gun.
I'm the match that lights the fire,
Keep me fed and I won't expire.
Use my heat from the hearth so bright,
Warming your cabin on a cold winter's night.
Scoreboard pads and high school notes
Stand in line to get my votes.
Notebook paper is a great invention;
It came from me, need I mention?
The dining room table serves you eat,
Under which you place your feet.
From my cradle a little boy fell,
Who am I, O won't you tell?
A tiny toothpick is not too small,
Nor a telephone pole a bit too tall.
I serve mankind in many ways,
So use me wisely, is my closing phrase.

Mom got up early and is in the kitchen
Preparing the breakfast for everyone
Dad's still in the bathroom and is shaving
And the beat of life goes on
The kids are busy getting set for school
One is still trying to get homework done
The others are taking things really cool
And the beat of life goes on
Now all sit around the breakfast table
To fuel themselves for the day's action
Each consumes what he or she is able
And the beat of life goes on
Dad leaves the home for his workplace early
Mom patiently checks the kids one by one
To ensure that for school each is ready
And the beat of life goes on
Dad is at work earning his salary
Kids are at school getting education
Mom is at home with some chores she's busy
And the beat of life goes on
It's suppertime now for the family
And it's filled with lively conversation
Each one partakes of the meal heartily
And the beat of life goes on
After supper, mom tidies the kitchen
Then joins the rest watching television
Later, for next day each starts preparing
And the beat of life goes on
The kids get busy with their assignment
Mom and Dad continue to linger on
They chat a bit about now the day went
And the beat of life goes on
Then finally they all head off to bed
For much needed sleep and relaxation
To refresh each for the new day ahead
And the beat of life goes on
Mom got up early and is in the kitchen
Preparing the breakfast for everyone
Dad's still in the bathroom and is shaving
And the beat of life goes on

Running around the playground,
Oh how I wish I could stick around.
Ouch I just fell on the ground,
Oh how I love the sound.
Dissecting frogs,
Checking out different kinds of logs.
There's even jars with baby hogs,
I've even learned about different kinds of bogs.
I like painting lots of flowers,
Maybe for a whole hour.
Once I even drew the Eiffel Tower,
And even a shower.
Math sometimes gives me trouble,
So I go to my teacher on the double.
We work together in our own little bubble,
And she pulls me safely out of the rubble.

In school with rules,
Me and my freind have pencil duels;
My evil cat haunts the kids,
While some how opening pickel lids.
In this place,
It's not a race;
Get lots of rest,
For the big tests.
Study all night,
Don't get a fright;
This is just school,
No need to be cool.

I will miss all my friends
When school finally ends
Sitting at the lunch table
Telling lots of stories and fables
All the laughing and goofing around
You know to stop when you hear that sound
Then you hush
And start to blush
I will miss these things about Elementary school
All the times we acted like fools
Now its up to the big High school
No more will we act like fools
Opening the doors to
the old studio I find
A playful capriole
sprinted across my mind
Into a sashay and a glissade
I drifted back
I could hear the teachers
stick go tap.tap.tap
Once a prestigious ballet
school of great poise
Filled with music as our
slippers sounded with noise
The mirrors are cracked
and the floors dusty
Rain soaked wood left the
room smelling musty
The charm stayed behind
as if waiting for me
Spotlighting a ballerina to
The goddess of the sea
The young girl danced
flawlessly then took a bow
Then sashayed off the stage
without a moistened brow
An old battered piano
appeared across from me
Bearing red ballet shoes
like a crimson canopy
Charm embraced her while
honoring her memory
As I looked into the mirror
I saw that girl was me

Author Information
Professor Richard Cronin lectures in nineteenth-century literature in the department of English Literature at the University of Glasgow. His publications include 1798: The Year of the Lyrical Ballads (1998), The Politics of Romantic Poetry: In Search of the Pure Commonwealth (2000), Romantic Victorians: English Literature, 1824–1840 (2000), A Companion to Victorian Poetry (co-edited with Antony H. Harrison and Alison Chapman, Blackwell, 2002), and Paper Pellets: British Literary Culture after Waterloo (2010).
"Richard Cronin's exceptionally fine book carries out just what its title promises—reading. The pleasure of his adroit, meticulously imaginative insights into verbal and metrical effects is constant… [O]ne of the best general readings of Victorian poetry in the last ten years." (Victorian Studies, 1 April 2013)
"It is a definite strength of Cronin's approach that his own book's attempt to recover ways of appreciating and understanding Victorian poetry overlaps with the techniques Victorian poets themselves used to address and forestall their anxieties about the meaning and value of their work . . . . To repeat the question, however, proves to be a good way of tuning in to the distinctive music of the Victorian poetry." (The Tennyson Society, 1 December 2012)"This is a distinguished, authoritative, and fluent book, which will provoke discussion and be genuinely useful to readers."

FRENCH VALLEY -- A man from Mexico pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges he kidnapped and raped a 9-year-old girl inside a Lake Elsinore home earlier this week.
Bayrom Coronado Toledo, 35, has been charged with kidnapping to commit rape, aggravated sexual assault of a child, and two counts of aggravated sexual assault on a minor using force, according to Riverside County Superior Court records.
Toledo, an illegal immigrant, faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison if convicted as charged, authorities said. He entered the not guilty pleas at Southwest Justice Center.
Police were called to a home on Townsend Street in Lake Elsinore about 7:30 a.m. Monday.
Family members told officers that a 9-year-old girl had been forcibly abducted from a bathroom and taken by Toledo to his bedroom where he raped her, police said. Family members interrupted, then detained Toledo until officers got there, according to authorities.
Toledo had been living with the family at the home for about five months, authorities said.

NEW YORK New research has suggested that the anti-epilepsy drug oxcarbazepine does not appear to prevent migraine headaches.
According to a study published in the journal Neurology by Stephen Silberstein of the Jefferson Headache Center in Philadelphia, some anti-epilepsy drugs have shown success in the prevention of migraine, and reports have suggested that oxcarbazepine—marketed by Novartis as Trileptal—would be effective as well. However, results of a study lasting almost five months, showed no difference between the oxcarbazepine and placebo groups in the change in the number of migraine attacks from the beginning to the end of the study.
The severity of the attacks and the amount of acute rescue medication required also was not affected by treatment allocation. "The results of this trial do not support preliminary data that had suggested oxcarbazepine was effective in preventing migraine," Silberstein noted in a written statement. "While several epilepsy drugs have been used for decades to prevent migraine, oxcarbazepine did not prevent migraine in this study despite it being shown to be safe and well-tolerated."
Silberstein also noted that the three epilepsy drugs that most effectively prevent migraine headaches—topiramate, divalproex and gabapentin—have several mechanisms by which they treat migraines, including the ability to regulate a brain chemical known as GABA. In contrast, oxcarbazepine has no apparent activity on GABA. Silberstein says it's possible that epilepsy drugs must be able to regulate this specific brain chemical in order to prevent migraine headaches.

TSMC qualifies Synopsys' IC Validator for 40nm, 65nm
Post a comment
PARIS Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) said it has qualified Synopsys' IC Validator physical verification tool for 40nm and 65nm interoperable DRC/LVS runsets.
TSMC's qualification of IC Validator brings the benefits of In-Design flow to the broad range of design teams utilizing TSMCs 40nm and 65nm process technologies, companies said.
IC Validator, part of the Galaxy Implementation Platform, is a signoff DRC/LVS tool that has been architected for in-design physical verification at leading-edge process nodes. It delivers scalability for efficient utilization of available hardware, superior ease-of-use for the physical designer, and high programmability for easier runset development, according to Synopsys.
IC Validator and IC Compiler share data models and processing engines, resulting in an integrated In-Design physical verification flow designed to deliver signoff-level accuracy coupled with superior productivity.
Synopsys explained that, compared to the traditional implement-then-verify approaches, the In-Design flow avoids late-stage surprises and mitigates costly iterations between place-and-route and signoff. In-Design physical verification provides functionality such as incremental DRC, automatic error detection and correction, optimal metal-fill insertion and rapid ECO validation, all within the place-and-route environment, enabling physical design engineers to generate manufacturing-clean designs that should pass the final signoff check without difficulty, speeding overall time to tapeout.

In 2005 Roger Federer dominated men's tennis with grace, panache, and strategic acumen and was the game's top player for the second year in a row. The Swiss stylist captured 11 of the 15 tournaments in which he played, made it to the quarterfinals or beyond in every event he entered, and finished the year with $6,137,018 in winnings. Spain's Rafael Nadal—a left-hander with unflagging competitive spirit and superbly crafted topspin ground strokes—surged to number two in the world, matching Federer's feat of capturing 11 tournament titles.
Among the women, the four Grand Slam tournaments were controlled by players from only two nations. Sisters Serena and Venus Williams of the U.S. prevailed at the Australian Open and Wimbledon, respectively, while Belgians Justine Henin-Hardenne and Kim Clijsters secured the top honours at the French and U.S. opens, respectively. American Lindsay Davenport was the number one ranked woman for the year for the fourth time in her career, but number two ranked Clijsters made the most prize money of any female player ($3,983,654), won nine events, and was named the International Tennis Federation's women's world champion.
Australian Open
Russia's Marat Safin collected his second career Grand Slam singles championship, coming through at a major event for the first time since the 2000 U.S. Open. Safin, the number four seed, ousted number three seed Lleyton Hewitt 1–6, 6–3, 6–4, 6–4 in the first evening final at the event. Hewitt made a valiant attempt to become the first Australian man since Mark Edmondson in 1976 to take the title, but he could not exploit a 4–1 lead in the third set as Safin overwhelmed him in the latter stages of the contest. Safin's mightiest effort was in the semifinals; in a magnificent 4-hour 28-minute epic that ended at 12:35am on his 25th birthday, Safin saved a match point in the fourth-set tiebreaker and contrived an astonishing 5–7, 6–4, 5–7, 7–6 (7), 9–7 triumph over defending champion Federer.
Serena Williams—seeded seventh—staged two stirring comeback matches to capture her second Australian and seventh Grand Slam championship. Facing Mariya Sharapova of Russia in the semifinals, Williams was down 3–5 in the final set. Sharapova served for the match at 5–4, but Williams cast aside three match points against her with audacious shot making to win 2–6, 7–5, 8–6. In the final against the top-seeded Davenport, Williams swept the last nine games for a 2–6, 6–3, 6–0 victory.
French Open
Federer had lost only one match since his Australian Open setback against Safin, and many knowledgeable observers believed that he was primed to rule at Roland Garros for the first time. Nadal was simply too confident and consistent on the slow clay courts, however, and the charismatic Spaniard took the trophy. In an eagerly awaited semifinal, Nadal's slow-court instincts and impeccable counterattacking methodology were too much for the world's top-ranked player. Nadal, who was playing in his first French Open, bested Federer 6–3, 4–6, 6–4, 6–3 to reach the final. It was his 19th birthday. In the final against Argentina's Mariano Puerta, Nadal was a 6–7 (6), 6–3, 6–1, 7–5 victor after confronting some precarious moments in the fourth set, when Puerta served at 5–4 and had three set points. It was Nadal's 24th straight match win and the culmination of a clay-court run that included four consecutive titles.
Henin-Hardenne needed to fight ferociously to win her second French Open and fourth Grand Slam. As with Nadal, however, the 10th-seeded Belgian was overflowing with confidence on the clay after winning three tournaments in a row en route to Paris. She lifted her season winning streak to 24 straight matches by easily dispatching a jittery Mary Pierce of France 6–1, 6–1. Pierce, the 2000 French Open winner, was thoroughly outclassed by an unerring adversary who was primed for the occasion. Henin-Hardenne's sternest test came in the fourth round against 2004 U.S. Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia. Serving at 3–5 in the third set, Henin-Hardenne was twice down match point before escaping 7–6 (6), 4–6, 7–5 in a match that lasted 3 hours 14 minutes.
A revitalized Federer—determined to record his first major triumph of the season—emerged the victor at Wimbledon for the third year straight. He conceded only one set in seven matches, cutting down the big-serving American Andy Roddick in a repeat of the 2004 final and prevailing 6–2, 7–6 (2), 6–4 with one of his finest performances of the season. The second-seeded Roddick built a 3–1 second-set lead and tried every tactic he could in an attempt to break up Federer's smooth rhythm, but it was futile.
In the women's final Venus Williams overcame Davenport in a classic encounter to win her first Grand Slam championship since the U.S. Open of 2001. In a captivating and bruising battle of American veterans, Williams held back a purposeful and daring Davenport 4–6, 7–6 (4), 9–7 in 2 hours 45 minutes, the longest women's final ever recorded in the tournament. Davenport served for the match at 6–5 in the second set and led 4–2, 40–15 in the third set, but Williams would not surrender. With Williams serving at 4–5, Davenport arrived at championship point. Williams responded emphatically with a clean backhand winner. The 14th-seeded Williams was unshakable under extreme duress, willing her way to a fifth Grand Slam title. In the tournament's biggest surprise, two-time champion Serena Williams was beaten in the third round by American Jill Craybas, the world's 85th-ranked player.
U.S. Open
In a sparkling final pitting the defending champion against a two-time former titlist, Federer came from behind to defeat 35-year-old Andre Agassi. Agassi (the oldest man to reach the final round since 39-year-old Australian Ken Rosewall was beaten by Jimmy Connors of the U.S. in 1974) put forth an honourable effort. After losing the opening set, the immensely popular Agassi took the second set and established a 4–2, 40–30 lead in the third. Federer surged back to 4–4 and then swept majestically through a tiebreaker and coasted to a 6–3, 2–6, 7–6 (1), 6–1 victory for his sixth major championship title. The second-seeded Nadal was knocked out in the third round by an inspired James Blake of the U.S., who squandered a two-sets-to-love lead against Agassi in the round of 16.
Clijsters finally took her place among the elite as a major champion, claiming her first Grand Slam title by subduing Pierce 6–3, 6–1. Clijsters, forced out of action for much of 2004 by a wrist injury, had slipped to number 133 in the world early in the season but had already won six tournaments on the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) tour by the time she arrived in New York City for the season's last Grand Slam event. In their brief skirmish under the lights, the 4th-seeded Clijsters was never unduly threatened by 12th-seeded Pierce, who repeatedly made flagrant unforced errors. Clijsters removed the top-seeded Sharapova in the semifinals; Pierce upset Henin-Hardenne in the fourth round, Amélie Mauresmo of France in the quarterfinals, and Russian Yelena Dementyeva in the semifinals.
Other Events
Argentina's David Nalbandian—a former Wimbledon finalist but long an underachiever, celebrated the most significant win of his career when he halted Federer in a fifth-set tiebreaker to garner the Tennis Masters Cup title in Shanghai. Federer had won his previous 24 final-round matches since July 2003, setting a modern record with that run. Pierce fell in three high-quality sets to Mauresmo in the final of the WTA tour's season-ending championships in Los Angeles.
Croatia—led by Ivan Ljubicic and Mario Ancic—was victorious in the Davis Cup for the first time, toppling Slovakia 3–2 in the final in Bratislava, Slovakia. In the Fed Cup final, Russia, spurred on by Dementyeva and Anastasiya Myskina, defeated France 3–2 at Roland Garros.

GorillaPrice Adware - How To Remove?
GorillaPrice is an advertising program that shows annoying ads when browsing most popular shops and other websites. It hijacks advertisements from Ebay, Amazon and other sites in hopes that one would press on these ads instead of the regular ones. It uses Yontoo platform for the promotion display. While they claim that this "helps" in searches for the best price, GorillaPrice collects your browsing information, causes a risk to your privacy and steals advertisement money from websites you visit.
One gets Gorilla Price installed together with "free" programs from various websites. Typically, it is a marginally useful program that can not hope someone will buy it, so the owners of it agree to bundled their software with adware and hijackers. Quite typically, other programs included in the same bundle are Optimizer Pro and Delta Search virus. Depending on the aggressiveness of these installers there might even be no way to refuse installing GorillaPrice or more dangerous programs. Even if you are ok with the breach of your browsing privacy and popups caused by GorillaPrice, you will most likely not want to ignore much more annoying functioning of other programs that came bundled with it. Thus it is obvious, that you should clean your PC in this case.
Another problem is GorillaPrice adware uninstall process. In many cases the uninstaller is not working or flagged as malware. So you might have to resort to RevoUninstaller or (even better) anti-malware tools like Reimage, SpyHunter which can remove both GorillaPrice and related hijackers. Keeping antivirus up to date would help to prevent such infections.
If anti-malware programs are not available, a temporary fix is to disable Yontoo in all browsers. This would prevent GorillaPrice from working.
Google Chrome:
Press 3 horizontal lines -> Settings -> Extensions -> Remove Yontoo and everything GorillaPrice related.
Mozilla Firefox:
Firefox ->Add-ons, go through pluggin and extension list and delete everything Yontoo and Gorilla Price related.
Internet Explorer:
Open IE -> go Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Remove everything Yontoo and Gorilla Price related from there.
Automatic GorillaPrice Adware removal tools
Manual removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove GorillaPrice Adware, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using Reimage or other tools found on 2-viruses.com.

i like the design, color and everything but i don't think i'd wear it
just cause the box shape of the radio makes the boobs look flat.

The entertainer, 54, shared some happy news on her Twitter account Thursday.
Hey everyone .....I just became a GRANDMA!!!!!!!!💋💋💋🍼— Marie Osmond (@marieosmond) December 19, 2013
It's a boy! 🍼— Marie Osmond (@marieosmond) December 19, 2013
Osmond's son Stephen Craig (whose dad, Stephen Craig Sr., she remarried in 2011 after divorcing in 1985) and his wife, Claire Olds, welcomed the bundle of joy a little early.
During an October "Good Morning America" appearance, the singer said the baby's due date was December 26.
"She, of course, is over the moon," her rep tells "omg! Insider" of becoming a first-time grandma.
Osmond announced her daughter-in-law's pregnancy during an appearance on "The Talk" in June, gushing, "I am so excited I'm going to be a grandma. I just can't wait."
[Related: Marie Osmond Breast Reduction Confession: 'I Was an E Cup']
She even revealed that Craig shared his baby news during his birthday celebration earlier this year.
"He blew out the candles and then blew me away and said, 'You're gonna be a grandma!' It was really fun."
Leave your congrats for the newest Osmond family member in the comments!

The Constraint bars are improved and provide more control and flexibility. You can select multiple objects for showing or hiding constraint bars using all of the standard selection methods (Window/Last/Crossing/BOX/ALL/Fence/WPolygon/CPolygon/Group/Previous). You can quickly display all constraint bars in their original position using the new Reset option. And, a new setting in the Geometric tab of the Constraint Settings dialogs enables you to show constraint bars when objects are selected even if those constraint bars are currently hidden. When the geometry is no longer selected, the temporarily displayed constraint bars are, once again, hidden. When you move a constraint bar and then edit the related geometry, the constraint bar maintains its position relative to the geometry.
The new constraint icons for Fix, Horizontal, and Vertical constraints visually indicate whether they apply to an object or to a point by the display of the icon. The symmetric constraint icon is also updated with 3 different appearances to indicate whether it is identifying a symmetrical point, an object, or the symmetric line.

Debt ceiling debate: What does borrowing limit mean for Americans?
Mon., Oct. 7, 2013
WASHINGTON – Like many bad things in life, the current standoff over money to keep federal programs running has proved easier to stumble into than to get out of. Now the stalemate is about to get more complex. The reason: Congress has a second deadline to deal with. This one involves the federal debt limit.
Here's what you need to know:
Q: What is the debt ceiling?
A: The U.S. has had a debt every year of the country's history except 1835. In World War I, Congress passed a law to limit how much debt the government could have. That limit has been raised many times since and stands at $16.7 trillion.
Q: Why does the limit need to be raised?
A: The government spends more than it raises in taxes and other revenue; that gap is the annual budget deficit, and the government borrows money to cover it. The government has run a deficit in all but four years since 1970. The annual deficit has shrunk a lot recently, but it's still sizable. Whenever the government has to borrow, the debt grows. The debt hit the current limit in May. Since then, the government has used accounting measures to conserve cash, but the extension those techniques provided will only last a little while longer.
Q: What's the deadline?
A: Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew has told Congress that the current "extraordinary measures" will provide enough cash only until Oct. 17. After that, Lew said Tuesday in a letter, "it would be impossible for the United States of America to meet all of its obligations for the first time in our history."
Q: Would the government be unable to pay bills immediately?
A: Probably not, but the risk would be real. The government would still have income from tax revenues, about $30 billion each day. Over time, however, that income would cover only about two-thirds of the bills that come due.
The government's bills are not spread evenly throughout the month: Some days' needs are much bigger than others. The uneven nature of expenses makes it hard to know for sure on which day the crunch would hit. A nonpartisan outside group, the Bipartisan Policy Center, estimates that the date for nonpayment of some bills would fall between Oct. 18 and Nov. 5.
Q: What happens if the government couldn't pay all its bills?
A: No one really knows because Congress has never refused to raise the debt ceiling. But economists, business leaders and others warn that any hint of a U.S. default on its obligations could severely rattle financial markets, cause interest rates to rise and, perhaps, trigger another financial crisis. The Treasury Department warned of "catastrophic economic consequences" if the debt ceiling were not raised on time.
Q: Given the risks, why is raising the debt ceiling difficult?
A: Some members of Congress disapprove of debt on principle and therefore always vote against increasing the limit. Others know that a vote for "more debt" makes an easy 30-second negative campaign ad even though the increase is needed to pay bills the government has already incurred. Still others want to use the occasion to push for concessions on other issues.
Q: What happened the last time this came up?
A: In July 2011, Congress deadlocked over the debt. Amid dire warnings that a first-ever default by the U.S. government could plunge the economy back into recession, they reached a last-minute deal.
That agreement included across-the-board spending cuts and a procedure under which Congress allowed President Barack Obama to raise the debt ceiling on his own. Each chamber could then vote to reject the debt increase, but unless both houses overrode a presidential veto, the increase would stick. That way, members of Congress could go on record as having opposed the debt.
When that deal expired, Congress this spring passed a new measure that simply suspended the debt ceiling for a while so that members would not have to vote to increase it.

Looking for parts for my trimmer
The ST-200 Homelite trimmer is a little too dated for me to find reliable information on. I see that you found our previous thread with somebody who was parting out his ST-200. I would recommend that you send that user a private message. I'll keep an eye peeled for information regarding this trimmer and post here if I find any relevant information. Good luck.
Thanks partstree, but he does not have any contact info listed so I have to wait and see.

Toki Underground serves some of the city's best ramen, but the prohibitive wait times to get into the teeny H Street NE restaurant often exceed two hours, keeping many would-be noodle-slurpers away. No longer! Thanks to delivery service Caviar, you can enjoy your red miso ramen from the comfort of your own home, without interrupting your Netflix binge.
It does require a bit of planning ahead. First, you have to create an account with Caviar, which supports delivery from a handful of other D.C. restaurants like Luke's Lobster, DGS, Fast Gourmet (chivito delivery!) and Woodlands Vegan Bistro. Then, place your order, but be aware of a few kinks in the system: First of all, not all of the menu items are available as listed on the site. We ordered our dumplings fried, but found out via a friendly phone call right before delivery that they could only be prepared steamed.
Toki only accepts orders through Caviar during specific times. You can order 24 hours in advance, and your food will come within a one-hour window of the delivery time you choose.
That said, our ramen arrived promptly, and still piping hot -- exactly the thing we needed on a soggy day like today. We could even track our order via GPS on a map e-mailed to us with our receipt. Gratuity and delivery fees are charged automatically: Our $32 order came with a not-unreasonable $9.50 in add-ons, including tax. Best of all, it was the first time we've ever had Toki without an interminable wait.

ASRock Z77E-ITX Mini-ITX (Intel Z77) Motherboard Review
Power Consumption
Even though the board is extremely small we can see that power draw lines up with our other Z77 boards for the most part at stock. It draws slightly less, but nothing that really stands out. Overclocked we see that the idle jumps only slightly which is good and load jumps a decent amount as you'd expect.
Core Temperature
At stock the temperature numbers line up just as you'd hope while overclocked we see that idle continues to look good. Load on the other hand we can see isn't as attractive looking with 104c being reached.
Our system was 100% stable throughout all our tests, but with these kinds of numbers, we'd probably opt to drop back the voltage slightly and reduce the overall overclock to bring it into the low 90s or even 80s.

As I reported earlier today, Herman Cain's gibberish on abortion could cost him badly in Iowa and with Christian conservatives more generally. He's been high in the polls in large part because he has, or had, presented himself as an evangelical. His latest comments are already reverberating in Iowa and beyond.
A GOP operative in Iowa told me bluntly, "This unforced error is detrimental. This misstatement will be the marker referenced as to when Herman Cain blew his shot at the presidency." Social conservatives take this issue very seriously.
Meanwhile, Penny Nance, the head of the 500,000-strong Concerned Women for America e-mailed me: "Last week Herman Cain said he didn't support a federal marriage amendment, this week he has backed away from his earlier position on the sanctity of human life. Herman Cain needs to decide whether or not he is a social conservative. The issue of life is like the issue of slavery, it is an inalienable right. The life issue is a dividing line proving whether or not a leader's moral compass is intact. This is not a point on which social conservative women will negotiate. Cain needs to figure out what he believes." Of the marriage amendment, Nance was referring to Cain's comments on gay marriage on Meet the Press .
Cain has managed to offend or worry each of the three main issue-blocs within the GOP. His 9-9-9 plan has been panned by fiscal conservatives. His remarks and then backpedaling on trading Gitmo detainees for a single American hostage alarmed hawks. And now on marriage and abortion, he's put off the social conservatives. If he can't satisfy any group that he knows what he is talking about on their key issues, it's hard to see how he can remain at the top of the heap.
Cain has another problem: He's been absent from Iowa, a must-win state. Without an established relationship with caucus-goers and a network of supporters, he'll be hard-pressed to smooth over the rough edges on his policy blunders. As voters begin to pay more and more attention, what they are hearing is largely negative news about Cain. Negative news is a problem for any presidential candidate, especially one without a professional staff experienced in presidential politics.

Bethesda Softworks announced that Obsidian Entertainment is developing a brand-new Fallout game titled Fallout: New Vegas, to release next year on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.
Gamasutra was at Bethesda's event in London to hear the game announced by marketing and PR VP Pete Hines, who provided few specifics on the game's engine, gameplay or perspective -- but did note the game is neither a Fallout 3 sequel nor a spin-off.
"It's not Fallout Tactics -- it's not Brotherhood Of Steel. It's another Fallout game," said Hines. "It has no impact on what [Bethesda Game Studios game director] Todd Howard and his guys are planning."
A number of Obsidian staff are veterans of Black Isle's original Fallout games. The company's CEO, Feargus Urquhart, was instrumental in founding Black Isle, and served as its director.

COOKING WITH GREASE: Stirring the Pots in American Politics
Brazile's lifelong love affair with politics culminated in September 1999, when she became Al Gore's presidential campaign manager. She was also the first African-American woman to head a mainstream national presidential campaign. Both achievements are the subject of this lively, sometimes moving memoir. After joining the Dukakis campaign at age 21, through wise strategy choices and sheer ability, Brazile carved out a place at the table with the primarily male, white, middle-aged political elite. Her colorful observations about the high-profile politicians she met (black and white) are often entertaining, although she tries not to slam the door on potential future campaign positions. Bill Clinton "had the mind of six men..."; Rev. Jesse Jackson "was brilliant in terms of politics and he was a master of manipulation when it came to the media." Yet for all the insider look at the Gore campaign, the book's strength is Brazile herself, a self-described "abrasive Black woman." And while some may find self-serving her penchant for distancing herself from the Gore campaign's mistakes, readers will respond positively to the loving description of her Louisiana roots, her remarkable sense of purpose and her fierce loyalty to friends and family. Being a black woman informs all of Brazile's experiences, and readers get an invaluable glimpse of what it is like to be who she was, where she was, during one of America's most tumultuous political moments. Agent, Robert Barnett. (June 4)

G: Valoisa Eve (Finnish for bright) or Phoebe Magdalen

Shortly after the birth of their third child, Arrow Amalia "Ara", Shoshanna and Alex discovered they were expecting again. Other siblings will be Zipporah Rose "Zippi" & Nimrod Alexander "Nim". Shoshanna and Alex are both big in the art industry and tend to like names with a zany, badass vibe. They considered Pandora nm Panda but a friend of theirs used it on her own daughter. The baby's nickname must fit right in with Zippi, Nim and Ara and the nicknames relationship to the first name must be obvious. To balance out the wackiness of the first name the middle should be relatively normal.

My Nonprofit Reviews
David Singer
Review for Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition, St. Louis, MO, USA
The Foster and Adoptive Care is one of the best run groups that I have been involved in. The staff does an exceptional job laying out plans and then executing. They have measurables for all of the programs that they run and exceed the expectations on every one. They hold their staff accountable for results and disciplined in not taking on new programs that will stretch the group too thin or are not in keeping with the mission statement. Melanie Scheetz the Executive director brings tremendous energy to the group and the board is engaged, diverse and dynamic. I feel honored to be a part of the board and contribute to their continued success.

What a joy it is to recive an album that is true to the genre. This tribute to Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra is definitely not an imitation, but there is enough inflection to make one smile in appreciation for the heartfelt love that is generated by this fine singer.
These tunes have been selected wisely and a magnificent example of this is "Beyond The Sea." Altamore pays homage to Darin with heartfelt emotion that shines through this track with burning intensity and excellence bred of self-confidence and ability. This tune has always been one that rises above the usual fare. The melody is superb and the lyrics are a prime example of the genius of American musical poetry.
A bass intro starts matters off on "I'm Beginning To See The Light." Jim Altamore's solid vocal is followed by Bill Easley's warm tenor sax message and Rio Clemente's joyful piano soliloquy.
"All Right, Okay, You Win" jumps into a blues bag in no uncertain terms. This track gets off the ground in a hurry and as a result, the diversity of Altamore is showcased beautifully. The ensemble is flawless in their response.
On "Learnin' The Blues," Frank Sinatra is revisited in joyful abandon. One can feel the admiration Altamore feels for this American icon. Clemente's comping is a work of art and helps to make this number get off the ground and into orbit with extraordinary ideation and adroitness.
To get into the heart and soul of the listener is no easy task and Altamore and company certainly do this with natural proficiency. Swing is king here and I am certainly a member of the assembled court.

"For just one client, we can share more than 80 files per day ranging in size from 500 megabytes to several gigabytes. Accellion does this with ease, and helps us provide a first class customer experience. We even get notifications on receipt, when comments are made or when new files are uploaded. This makes us very responsive."

With the semester in full swing and students become more acclimated with college life and culture, some freshmen may be realizing they chose the wrong college or life path.
Continue Reading Below
College is a transition for students to find independence and choose a field of interest to pursue a career, but some struggle to accept that there are aspects of college that may not go according to plan, says Dr. Gregory Jantz, psychologist and author of How to De-Stress Your Life.
"[Students need] to pinpoint what you dislike about college, are my activities bringing me towards my goal? What are my life goals in college? Sometimes they have to go back and figure those out."
For students who are second-guessing their college decision--whether the institution or a particular school-- here are expert tips on how to identify the issues at hand and ways to cope.
Identify the Source of Stressors
Freshmen face many changes their first year and the culmination of these changes result in elevated stress levels, says Elizabeth Scott, wellness coach and author of 8 Keys to Stress Management.
Continue Reading Below
"Because stress from one area of life can color experiences in other areas, it can indeed be difficult to pinpoint where the bulk of the stress is coming from, or determine exactly what it is that isn't working," she says.
To assess what factors are causing disproportionate levels of stress, she suggests students ask themselves some questions:
- When (what times of the day or week) do I feel most stressed?
- What activities drain/energize me the most?
- If I could choose one thing to erase from my life, what would it be?
- If I could add one resource to my life, what would I choose?
Keeping a journal and writing about both stressful and positive daily experiences can help students recognize any stress patterns or triggers and put their feelings into perspective.
"If the source of unhappiness doesn't become clear within a few days or weeks of maintaining the journal, students can read back over their previous entries and see if a pattern emerges," says Scott.
To get an outside viewpoint, Jantz recommends students take advantage of campus resources such as peer groups and professional counseling.
Get More Involved on Campus
If students are feeling a disconnect with their school, Andy Dryden, director of Student Success Strategy at Hobsons suggests they get involved in campus clubs or activities.
"Research clearly shows that students that feel connected at their school are far more likely to succeed than students who don't," he says. "Extra-curricular activities are a great way to connect with students who are sharing similar experiences as you and who share similar interests and goals as well."
Students should be particular when joining a group and only work with groups and events they are interested in and feel a connection with. Going out and joining any group for the sake of joining won't get students very far, says stress management counselor and speaker Barbara Rubel.
"What are they passionate about? What kinds of students do they want to work with as they get involved in a project?" says Rubel. "Getting involved on campus will do nothing if it's not with the type of people they want to associate with and not with involvement that focuses on something they aren't interested in."
Find Academic Interests
While many freshmen wait to declare a major, it's important that new students focus on their academic interests and character strengths that might make them more engaged.
"Students should think about their own strengths and how these strengths guide them in making the right choices in their classes, their major, and their overall goals," Rubel says. "They should also focus on their weaknesses and how they contribute to unhappiness while at college."
If students are not sure what direction they want to take, Scott suggests completing general education requirements while coming up with a new plan for upper division classes.
Carefully Consider Transferring
It can be tempting to decide that college life isn't the right plan during the first few weeks of the fall semester, but every new start at a school will bring challenges and require adjustments, says Scott.
The experts suggest students give themselves enough time to get used to the changes and do what they can to make it work before deciding to switch schools or leave college altogether.
"Each student is different and there is no one size fits all approach to this--however, every student should think carefully when making the decision to leave college or to transfer," says Dryden. "These decisions have long term ramifications that the student should consider carefully before acting."
Seek out Alternative Forms of Education
Not everyone benefits from the traditional college experience, but experts point out that there are other ways to get an education and learn valuable skills.
"Studies consistently show that unemployment rates are much lower and lifetime earnings rates are much higher for individuals who receive ANY kind of degree or certificate after high school," says Dryden. "College isn't for everyone, but in today's increasingly educated workforce getting some post-secondary education is an imperative."
If students decide to change paths, it's important to have a new plan or goal to successfully pursue their passions, says Scott.
"This doesn't have to be what you do for the rest of your life—you can always make another choice—but it really helps to have credentials for something that you will enjoy doing in the near future."

World food prices grew at their strongest since the jump provoked by US drought two years ago, the United Nations said, flagging the role in the rise of "brisk demand" and weather setbacks, as well as Ukraine's crisis.
Food prices swelled by 2.6%, month on month, in February, the strongest increase since July 2012 - and a reversal of the declining trend in place since September of that year, when values, and US drought fears, peaked.
The price rise reflects in part the "spikes" in corn and wheat values spurred by unrest in Ukraine even before the deployment of Russian troops dragged values to multi-month highs at the start of this week.
However, "the February increase in the [food price] index cannot be entirely attributed to those events", the United Nations food agency, the Food and Agriculture Organization, said.
"The weather is probably a major force driving up prices for certain commodities like sugar or wheat, but brisk demand is also an important factor underpinning corn, dairy and [vegetable] oil prices," said Concepción Calpe, FAO senior economist.
Indeed, the comments came as palm oil prices hit a 17-month high of 2,869 ringgit a tonne in Kuala Lumpur, lifted by concerns over the impact of dryness on output in Indonesia and Malaysia, which account for more than 90% of world production of the vegetable oil.
And the FAO itself highlighted setbacks to some US winter wheat seedlings from "extreme cold and dryness.
"In the southern Plains, persisting dryness remains a concern for the development of crops as they start to come out of dormancy in the coming weeks.
"For the white winter wheat, which normally accounts for about 15-20% of the total winter wheat, extreme drought in the main producing areas, notably Washington State, is likely to have an impact on outcome of this year's crop."
Nonetheless, Ms Calpe added that it was "too early" to say that the rise in food prices last month "is a true reversal" of the downward trend.
The FAO forecast the US wheat crop rising 2m tonnes to 60m tonnes this year, "assuming a normal spring season", above the forecast of 2.16bn bushels (58.8m tonnes) from the US Department of Agriculture.
The FAO was also upbeat on prospects for the European Union crop, pegged at 145.0m tonnes, at the upper end of the range forecast by other commentators, and on the Chinese crop, which it pegged at a record 122.8m tonnes.
The International Grains Council forecasts China's output – which is being increasingly watched, after a poor harvest last year prompted hefty imports - at 119.0m tonnes.
However, the FAO was less sanguine on prospects for Russia's wheat crop which it saw falling 2.1m tonnes to 50m tonnes, a bigger drop that forecast by the IGC, and was particularly downbeat on Ukraine's harvest, which it saw falling 2.5m tonnes to 19.0m tonnes.
The IGC pegs this year's Ukraine wheat harvest at 20.0m tonnes, and Lanworth at 21.2m tonnes.
"Plantings are expected to have declined somewhat in Ukraine," the agency said, although it made no mention of the drought conditions highlighted on Wednesday by Lanworth and Martell Crop Projections.
The FAO pegged the world wheat harvest this year at 704m tonnes, down 12m tonnes year on year but still the second largest on record.
The IGC foresees world production for 2014-15 at 693.6m tonnes, down from 11.4m tonnes on its estimate for 2013-14.

Hi all!
I posted a similar question in the homebrew board, but I think people are a little confused between soft and hard mod.
My sister's NTSC Wii has a wiikey (I think wiikey 1?), is a 2008 model (not LU64+), and is on 3.4U firmware.
No soft-mods at all, not even Home Brew Channel.
I am just wondering, will she be able to play PAL ISO's on her Wii? What about region-patched / brickblocked PAL ISO's?
I have heard that 3.4U won't recognize any ISOs that have been modified. Does that apply to hard-modded Wii's or only soft-modded?
Last edited by JohnnyG; 07-11-2009 at 05:02 PM.
I don't think the chip offers the ability to play out of region games.
So let me get this straight: since she is at 3.4U, I can't play any games that have been patched, even with a mod chip, right?
Thank you!
Hi, I'm a newbie to Wii modding. I have a chipped JAP Wii but no idea what it in it (need to open up). Mine has firmware 4.1J and has been struggling to play some PAL games, original and backups. All my backups have been patched with Regionfrii and Brickblocker.
I'm sure I read somewhere with chipped Wii's the firmware will not affect it's ability to play anything, it's only softmodded ones are affected. Is this true?
Do chipped Wii's need apps such as backup launchers to play some games? It just seems strange some games work, some don't. All I get is a black screen.
