Saying goodbye to your old life.0 Reviews
They say goodbye, before theya are off! Off and Away!..I am crap tat Summarys:(
"If you think I'm going in there, you must be joking!" Cried Laurance as Jess, Melissa and Summer all stood inside, impatient.
"God come on Laurance, we haven't got all day," shouted Jess. Today she looked as dead as usual, as pale as a vampire, her witch like hair hung heavily down her back.
Two minutes, and a kiss, later, James managed to persuade Laurance into the empty girls toilets on the forth floor. It was an icy, miserable Monday morning back after the holidays. They all wanted to run away as soon as possible. So they had chosen the stone cold girls toilets as the place to make their final plan. After everyone had resumed their not fun packed holidays, Summer announced in a practical tone.
"Right, we've planned to go this Friday night, if that's okay with you two?" Laurance looked at James who sent a reassuring smile back to the worried Laurance.
"Yep okay then, this Friday it is," replied James.
"Also," he added,
"Laurance and me, we are..."He took hold of Laurence's hand and smiled. He took a deep breath,
"You know..." The three girls exchanged glances and nodded their heads in understanding. They always though Laurance and James were gay.
"Sure we understand," smiled Melissa.
"Good for you two sweet little door knobs."
"Thanks," replied James. Summer walked over to the whitish sink and turned on the chipped tap. After a gurgle, water splashed out. She turned it back off and walked back over to the small broken window in the corner. Her boots black as tar almost echoed on the stone floor.
"Friday evening, after we escape where shall we meet you?" She asked. James paused, staring at his reflection in the square mirror, before replying.
"We have to get out the building, past the little blue people, out the electric fence, over the field aka mud bath and across the moat which, I think is about half an hour jog from the Semingzoide boarding house if you go out the back door and through the forest. Melissa looked worried,
"Are you sure we can do this?" She asked staring out at the green fields and trees full of freedom outside.
"No," replied James.
"But we are going to have to try...Or die trying. So, good luck everyone."
For the last week in the Splinter Orphanage, James and Laurance tried to act as normal as possible, and spend as much time as they could with Daisy and Maddie. They were going to miss them. Laurance wanted to tell them what was going on but James strictly forbade it.
Friday evening was the worst, they were all sat together in the common room and with the fire burning in the marble grate for once, it almost felt like home.
Daisy looked at her two friends sunken faces,
"Are you two okay?" She questioned, her hair sticking up wildly tonight, as red and orange as the fire itself, James looked up.
"Yer we're fine, tired that's all, just tired. Going to get an early night tonight," he mumbled. Laurance continued gazing into the glowing depths of the flames, he couldn't stand this, and he hated lying to his friends. Maddie looked at Laurance; there was something in his eyes that made her feel uneasy. She could sense something was up.
Daisy and James were still good friends even if they had split, and as James got up to leave she felt a horrible feeling in her heart that told her she may never see James again.
"James!" she called. James shifted his gaze away from the fire, into her eyes.
"Goodbye James," she said and lent forward to hug him. Maddie did the same with Laurance. Somehow, they never knew how, they knew. And as a tear rolled down Laurence's cheek as he looked back, just once, before making his way up the dark winding staircase to his bed.

XDA member adam2010 presents this new theme for your Nexus One using CM7 ROM. ADAMOID LuxurY really changes all colors and general look on your device. The complete package includes MIUI Music, Go Contacts, Go Launcher (themed), and Go Launcher Classic 2, so you don´t need to download any additional stuff to make it work.
For installation, make a Nandroid backup and then download the file. The file is not flashable, so you'll have to extract it first, then put the flashable file in your SD card, goto Recovery, flash it, and voila!.
The developer opened a poll to find out what other devices should he be making this theme for, so if you like it leave your vote.

Searching for a whole new theme for your CM7 rom? Seek no more, look at the images and judge for yourself. I'm done talking (for now)
*** Theme for Other Devices coming soon! go to this thread***
mY thanks to Cyanogen, Pendo, XDA, and mYself lol.
Most of the CM7 (RC2) UI is themed and I themed some apps to go with the new design.

In case you haven't noticed, here at XDA-Developers, we like hacking and modifying our devices. A big part of this, which many often look past while installing countless ROMs and kernels, is that we appreciate customizing the appearance of our devices as well. Sure performance improvements can be seen in benchmarks and frame rates in games, but even dramatic performance gains are often quite subtle compared to basic themes.
Luckily, there is no shortage of theme creators in our community. XDA forum member Trock79 has taken it upon himself to create a highly integrated theme with a blue carbon fiber motif. The aesthetic certainly won't appeal to everyone, but that's the beauty of it. It's daring, and those who like it almost undoubtedly love it. This theme, while originally created for the Google Nexus One, works with the CyanogenMod / T-Mobile Theme Chooser application, and should work with any WVGA device.

XDA member abhi0n0nakul told us about a HTC Desire S ROM being ported to the Nexus One. So, if you have this Android device, now you have the chance to try a newer Gingerbread based ROM. The latest version includes HTC Sense, Locations, WIFI, GPS, overclocking tool for up to 1113 Mhz, and the newest Market, all working well. According to the original poster, you will need latest radio: 5.12, latest hboot: 35.0017, sd-ext: 1gb, recovery: amon ra passion and to wipe all data in order to successfully install.
As work is still in process, there are some things not working yet, such as:
1. Camera and camcorder (causes reboot)
2. Blue-tooth
3. FM radio
4. Video player (though gallery works great)
5. Few graphical glitches.
6. Problems with status bar
7. USB mass storage
8. Charging led does not glow while charge
9. MMS problems
If you still want to try it, it´s advised that you know what are you doing. As always, the developers take no responsibility if you brick your device. Please leave your feedback, so future versions can be improved.

If you own a Nexus One you'll find a few trackball colour apps around but all require root access. However, if you haven't gotten round to rooting your device yet, XDA forum member andrewpmoore has written Light Flow an app for non-root users!
Light Flow lets you monitor a number of events and has 2 modes.
Priority mode lets you choose which notification type is most important to you and the trackball will flash in that colour. Succession mode is where the trackball will change colour and cycle through the colours of the notification types.
The modes can be set accordingly for when the phone is on charge or on battery, and the frequency of the colour cycle can also be configured.
Light Flow is available in a lite and paid version and is compatible with Gingerbread, the lite version being available for free on the Market. For more information, head on over to the application thread.

One of the thing that plagued Nexus One owners wanting to use CM7 was the fact that they could not use Internet calling via Wifi. Due to the fact that his girlfriend wanted to have this feature running in her Nexus One, XDA member unforgiven512 took matter into his own hands and started working on a patch to enable Wifi calling on T-Mobile, just like the G2 has. Cyanogen added as well all the necessary code fixes to get this patch to work in all nighties version 21 and above. Please bear in mind that this fix is only for those of you on T-Mobile USA and will not work with any other carrier.
If you have a Nexus One, why don't you give it a shot and see if it works well? According to the dev, all bugs should be gone, but feedback is always welcome.
I finally did it. I've got T-Mobile WiFi Calling working on CyanogenMod 7.0.0 on the Nexus One!
Here it is, everyone!
UPDATE: Here's version 1.2, everyone! It will work with CyanogenMod 7 Nightlies, build 21 and up. It's been tested, and works. The necessary changes are actually in the new CM builds (unlike last time, but that's been fixed), and there should be no issues (as there were with version 1.1). Enjoy!
You can find more information in the add-on thread.

I am sure you have been following our dev's every step for the last week or so as Android's newest sweet treat was ported to a few devices including the Nexus One, EVO, Desire, and Desire HD, among others. As of a few days ago, our devs were able to replace the "preview" SDK that they were playing with by the official, full blown SDK for Honeycomb. As our devs don't like to waste any time, XDA member bypass23 who was the author of the Nexus One port has updated his port with the official SDK, thus making this the first official port of this official SDK. According to the dev, the port was not as simple as just replacing the boot.img. About 95% of all libs and apps were replaced, and even the ramdisk was substantially different. All of this forced the dev to virtually start from scratch.
The first version had an issue with the touchscreen not working, but it was promptly solved earlier today. If you have any knowledge in porting or if you are interested in getting more features to work on this, be sure to let the dev know. Next stop, AOSP!
I'm not gonna list what's working or what's not but I tried to keep the SDK as untouched as I could for this release… It's almost a PURE SDK port so it can be used as a base for DEVs who wants to try to fix a specific issue since there is a million ATM and that was to be expected !
If any DEVs are interested in getting more things to work for the Nexus One let me know.
You can find more information in the port thread.

Yes, you read right! Our own XDA Forum member trebor_88 was able to locate the GRI40 from FRG83G update.zip for the Nexus One, while XDA member krohnjw was able to find the GRI40 from GRH78 link for the Nexus S. If you're a developer looking to get cooking, or happen to be a user running a stock ROM, you may want to give give these a download!
Continue to this thread to get your fix and discuss the update!

Although the Google Nexus One has been available since
June January 2010, and many new phone models have been released since then, the development community is still very active. This hack, made by XDA member Nushio, is another example of that: it allows you to answer and end calls with a simple click on the trackball. It also includes many other small but very useful features to make it a complete software add-on that – in our opinion – really increases user experience.

Because of the low amount of available memory for user data, developers have been trying to enhance the way Android handles OS-specific data and applications. They do this by referring to the SD card instead of the main memory itself. This makes it possible to install many more applications. This hack is called app2SD, which is widely known by many Android users across various devices.
Now, XDA member ownhere has come up with something new: data2ext. What this hack basically does is changing some partition settings (loopback) to increase write performance and to saver power. Originally created for the HTC Desire, it delivers some huge improvements and it really is a must-have for the Desire. The benchmark scores are outstanding, but more about that later. For more technical information, you can visit the thread.
For the Nexus One users, XDA member jayfallen is busy to merge that hack with a Nexus One ROM. Although, the first boot is just going fine, he wasn't able to boot it more times. He ran Quadrant (benchmarking utility) and the results were huge: a I/O scoring 8000+ and a total score @ 3000+. He has called help from other XDA developers in the Nexus One thread, so if you are very good at Android developing, please take a look at it!
It is nice to see that developers are always finding new ways to improve the performance of their phones, and we hope that this hack will come available for other devices too.

If you hate the G2's soft keyboard, you can sit back and relax because it was found that the HTC keyboard hack for the Nexus One works correctly on the T-Mobile G2. This keyboard, which is an enhanced version of the stock HTC keyboard, has some pretty nice features built-in. It's made by XDA developer jonasl, and the features are endless – almost literally. It's amazing to see how much work has been put into this keyboard – it's been updated more than 25 times now, and many of them contain new features – and it's great that it's also compatible with the T-Mobile G2. Yet the developer is planning to discontinue it for now:

I'm now taking a break from the work on this mod due to serious lack of time. I've spent a huge amount of time on this mod already and also shared all my code and methods. I hope the community has benefited from this. You are all free to do whatever you want with my code if you want to make further improvements. I hope I can find some time to continue this little project later this summer. Thanks for all the encouraging words, feature suggestions and bug reports. Couldn't have done this without you all
We're wondering if it's actually useful to have another virtual software keyboard on a phone that already has a very good hardware keyboard – but it might just be useful for typing short texts. If you want to give it a shot, you can find installation instructions in the discussion thread.

Dr. Julie Ivy wants everyone to spend less time and money on their health care.
So when she learned that hospitals were having a difficult time deciding how much medication to order she knew there had to be a better way to manage the inventory. Without a solution, hospitals could continue to spend lots of money on medication that wound up in trash bins or become inundated with sick people and not enough drugs to treat them.
Ivy, above at right, is one of about 20 NC State faculty members and graduate students in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering working in the emerging field of health systems engineering. These researchers strive to make health care more organized, efficient and cost-effective—results that keep patients healthy and save everybody money.
They think of health care as an interconnected system, focusing on health care delivery and medical decision-making. They're advising doctors on the right times to prescribe medication; finding the most efficient cancer-screening methods; and, thanks to a $1.6 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, improving North Carolina's Health Alert Network, a system that keeps health workers on the same page during statewide health emergencies.
Systems for Success
Students interested in the field are gaining hands-on experience in the department's health systems engineering concentration, established in 2009. This certificate program, led by Dr. Stephen Roberts, the A. Doug Allison Distinguished Professor in Industrial and Systems Engineering, provides students with a paid mentored internship at a sponsoring health organization.
The need for expertise is growing as U.S. health care costs for prescription medication, hospital care, doctors' fees and other services continue to rise.
Health systems engineers look for ways to give patients, doctors and hospitals the most bang for their health care buck. Quantitative modeling, a method using mathematical equations to predict behavior and simulate health care-related situations, plays a major role.
"With simulation, we try to create a computer model of the particular system, whether it's a pharmacy or a laboratory," Roberts said. "Then we experiment with it to find a better system."
Ivy's work with NC State alumna Dr. Anita Vila-Parrish, teaching assistant professor and director of undergraduate programs in the department, holds promise for improving inventory management policies at hospitals.
"You can get what you need, at the best possible price, when you need it," said Ivy, associate professor of industrial and systems engineering.
Timing the Treatment
The engineers are also interested in the early detection of different types of cancer. Ivy, Roberts and Dr. Brian Denton, associate professor of industrial and systems engineering, are comparing screening methods for breast, colorectal and prostate cancer, respectively. They're looking at screening times, frequencies and costs, all geared toward finding the most efficient way to catch the diseases early.
Denton is also using modeling to show how heart disease progresses in patients affected by a condition that causes more deaths per year than breast cancer and AIDS combined—diabetes.
Her research with doctoral student Jennifer Mason focuses specifically on patients living with type 2 diabetes. Their recent work revealed that only 48 percent of patients who were prescribed statins to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke—were taking the prescribed dose regularly after one year.
For diabetics, who are at particularly high risk for heart attack and stroke, the findings underscore how important it is to stick to their medications.
Results like these give patients, policy makers and hospital staff vital information that can save time, money and lives.
"There's going to be an increasing need for people who look at these systems of health care," Roberts said. "And NC State engineers will be prepared for the job."

This article first appeared in the November 3, 2003 issue of Sports Illustrated.
""Now Momma Lou makes chocolate gravy; Lord, she is so nice /Poppa Jim pulled me aside and gave me some advice/ He said, 'Quit spending all your money on all those old skanks/Just put some in your pocket and put some in the bank.'"John Daly, "All My Exes Wear Rolexes"
Except for the part about winning the British Open, John Daly's life has always played out like a bad country song, with all the touchstones of the genre: the wrong women, battles with the bottle, squandered fortunes and a scrape with the law (to say nothing of the PGA Tour commissioner). In the beginningcirca 1991Daly's flaws contributed as much to his popularity as did the awesome drives he launched with his hyper-extended swing. On a Tour full of country-club types, Daly was raw and real, with problems you could relate to. (Well, some of us could relate to some of them.) But in the eight years since his last PGA Tour victory, Daly, 37, has regressed from contender to curiosity. Just when it seemed he had lost all his shock value, Daly has, over the last three months, gone on a self-destructive binge that has put his golf game and personal life in disarrayand his problems are far from over. " John Daly needs help," says a member of his inner circle. "The Tour feels that way. Everyone close to John feels that way."
Daly's tailspin began in July. On the 23rd his fourth wife, Sherrie, gave birth to John Patrick Daly II, a.k.a. Little John. He is Big John's third child, from as many mothers. Five days after the birth, Sherrie and her parentsAlvis Miller and his wife of 39 years, Billiewere indicted in a Mississippi federal court for allegedly laundering more than $1.2 million in illegal drug profits. Sherrie could face up to 20 years in prison. Daly may be an aspiring country music crooner, but Tammy Wynette he ain't. "I believe they're not guilty, and I'm standing 100 percent behind them," he told SI in late September. "Granted, if Sherrie is going to prison for 20 years, I'll have to divorce her."
Since his wife's arrest, Daly has been disqualified or has withdrawn from four of his seven Tour starts. At the 84 Lumber Classic, he started shaking uncontrollably and had to be carted off the course. At the Texas Open he raked in a missed putt while the ball was still moving and didn't report it to Tour officials until after he had signed his scorecardan automatic DQ. Afterward there were reports (denied by Daly) that he trashed the interior of his $1.4 million bus. "He's not really a golfer any longer," a Tour player said. "More like a freak show."
A week later at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic, Daly six-putted a green, chasing after his ball and "hockey-sticking" it into the cup, tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Once the game's biggest draw, Daly was dismissed as "sad" by tournament director Robert Morgan, who added, "If he continues the way he is, the John Daly persona is not going to be an attraction anymore."
In addition to the real problems Daly faces, he has had to deal with a torrent of rumors in recent months. Last weekend, the New Jersey wire service SportsTicker cited sources saying, incorrectly, that Daly had entered an alcohol rehab clinic on orders from PGA commissioner Tim Finchem. "I'm just frustrated that I'm having to defend myself on things that aren't even happening," Daly says. "It's been a joke."
In the wake of his wife's indictment, two of Daly's longtime associates called it quits. At the PGA Championship in August, Daly was fired by his caddie, Mick Peterson, who made it plain that he no longer wanted to have anything to do with Sherrie Daly. Donnie Crabtree, John's personal assistant and driver for 10 years and his closest friend since the first grade, quit a week later. "It's hard watching somebody that you love self-destruct," Crabtree says. "John can go weeks without drinking, but he's a binger. He'll drink and not eat, smoke three packs a day. He drinks Diet Cokes like they're going out of style. No rest, high stress, lots of caffeine, lots of nicotine. You add all those things together, and you get what's happened over the last six or seven weeks."
Asked if he thinks Dalywho denies any recent binge drinkinghas become a danger to himself or others, Crabtree says he doesn't consider his friend "consciously suicidal" but cites the belief of people in 12-step programs that you have to hit rock bottom before you can come back. "My fear with John is that his rock bottom might be something you don't come back from."
Early last month Daly thought he'd arrived at a simple solution for his latest round of problems: dump the wife. On Oct. 5, the day PGA senior vice president and chief of operations Henry Hughes called Daly to express concerns over his recent behavior, Daly instructed his attorney to file divorce papers in Memphis. Daly then flew to Seoul for the Korean Open, an Asian tour event that had ponied up an appearance fee for him. A world away from his troubles, Daly summoned one of the most stunning performances of his career, shooting a back-nine 32 on Sunday, Oct. 12, to win his first tournament in more than two years. The field was weak, and the course wasn't exactly Pebble Beach, but for Daly the victory was monumental. "Your adrenaline gets pumping when you have a chance to win," he says. "I was hitting my driver 30 or 40 yards farther than I normally do."
The day after the tournament Daly rested in a suite at the Paris Las Vegas hotel and casino in Las Vegas. In a relaxed but subdued conversationone of several with SI over the past six weekshe said that his divorce would be governed by a prenuptial agreement that he and Sherrie signed in 2001. On various occasions, he said, he was physically and verbally abused by his wife in front of friends, family, other Tour players, the rock band Hootie and the Blowfish and, in one colorful incident, three strippers at a charity golf outing. He also claimed that although his wife had told him that she and her parents were targets of a federal investigation, she had not disclosed that it involved the laundering of drug profits. (Sherrie denies having known this herself.)
"It's cut and dried," Daly said. "She gets 50 grand, and that's it." He puffed on a cigarette and stared at a bowl of roses in the center of the table. "I wanted to make it work. It's embarrassing to have to go through another divorce. There's two beautiful children involved." He shook his head. "But I'm going to go insane if I don't get away from this woman."

PLAYERS: Brandon Knight, Danilo Gallinari
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets
Detroit Pistons guard Brandon Knight has been straight up owning the lowlight reels this year. When the 2012-2013 NBA season comes to a close, the 21-year-old could very well see himself as a repeat offender on lists of the most humiliating plays of the season. As you can see, Knight had himself a wide open layup late in the fourth quarter of his team's loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. As if missing a layup with absolutely no one around isn't horrible enough, Detroit happened to be trailing by three points with just over two minutes remaining in the game. They went on to lose by five. Ouch. Last month, Knight was dunked on by DeAndre Jordan harder than we have seen anyone get thrown down on all year. There was little the 6-foot-3 guard could do to defend the dunk and he had a great sense of humor about it afterword, but I'm guessing he won't find the blown layup quite as comical. That's what we call a once-in-a-lifetime miss. Related posts: Brandon Knight has funny re...

GMSH: examples which illustrate the use of the gmsh program, a 3D mesh generator for the finite element method (FEM).
gmsh allows the user to work with a visual interface, or with script files. The examples given here will all be given using the gmsh scripting language.
The meshes created by gmsh can be saved in any of the following formats:
The gmsh program is available from http://geuz.org/gmsh/.
The computer code and data files made available on this web page are distributed under the GNU LGPL license.
DOLFIN-CONVERT, a Python program which can convert mesh file from Gmsh, MEDIT, METIS or SCOTCH format to an XML format suitable for use by DOLFIN or FENICS, by Anders Logg.
FENICS, programs which illustrate the use of a collection of free software with an extensive list of features for automated, efficient solution of differential equations.
MESHLAB, examples which illustrate the use of the meshlab program, an advanced mesh processing system for automatic or user-assisted editing, cleaning, filtering, converting and rendering of large unstructured 3D triangular meshes. MESHLAB can read and write 3DS, OBJ, OFF, PLY, and STL graphics files.
MSH, a data directory of examples of MSH files, the native 3D mesh format used by gmsh.
TETGEN, examples of the use of TETGEN, a program which can compute the convex hull and Delaunay tetrahedralization of a set of 3D points, or can start with a 3D region defined by its boundaries, and construct a boundary-constrained conforming quality Delaunay mesh, by Hang Si.
TETHEX, examples which illustrate the use of TETHEX, a C++ program which can read a Gmsh file defining a mesh of triangles or tetrahedrons, and subdivide the mesh into quadrilaterals or hexahedrons, which are suitable for use by the DEALII finite element program, by Mikhail Artemiev.
TRIANGULATION_TO_GMSH, a MATLAB program which reads a file of node coordinates and a file of elements defined by node indices, and creates a corresponding Gmsh mesh file.
TEST is a 2D channel formed by starting with a long rectangular channel and creating a narrow neck by removing elliptical portions from the top and bottom. The resulting mesh has 4,325 nodes and 8,656 elements.
TEST02 is an upside-down L-shaped region, using 124 vertices and 206 cells, for the Mitchell test problem #2.
TEST03 is the square [-1,+1]x[-1,+1] with a slit from (0,0) to (1,0), for the Mitchell test problem #3.
TEST05 is the battery problem, with internal contstraint lines, for the Mitchell test problem #5. GMSH fails when I try to mesh this region!

With time running out, Seattle was down 12-7, Russell Wilson threw this desperation pass to the endzone. It looked like the Packers MD Jennings intercepted it. But the Seahawks Golden Tate wrestled it away, shortly after he committed an obvious offensive pass interference. That wasn't called, the play was reviewed, and the touchdown stood in a 14-12 Seahawks win.
"It was reviewed. It was awful. That's all i'm going to say about it." says Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.
Locally the phones lit up on KWSN's Sports Talk with Craig and Chris. Enraged Packer fans, maybe some happy Vikings fans. Either way, they knew the pack got robbed.
"I think people are saying enough it enough. They need to get this settled, there was confusion as to whether it was a catch or wasn't a catch or should be reviewed." says KSWN's Chris Tubbs.
Former NFL quarterback and sioux falls native Neil Graff worries about the impact on the NFL when things like this happen.
"I worry about the integrity of the NFL. The NFL has long had great integrity in this country. And when these things happen it affects the integrity of the NFL." says former NFL quarterback Neil Graff.

College students can't get out of the house into their world of independence fast enough. At least that's what we've always thought.
However, in a recent study from Sallie Mae and Gallup, 43 percent of families reported that their student lived at home.
Clearly, it's a sign of the times. As the cost of college goes up — and economic conditions get even tougher for many, many families — it makes sense that families would opt to have their college students study close to home and keep their bedroom as well.
Other findings from the third annual "How America Pays for College" report, which included more than 1,600 interviews with college students and parents:
* 71 percent strongly agreed that a college degree is more important now than it used to be.
* Both parents and students opened their wallets wider, tapped more scholarships and grants, and borrowed more, to pay for the escalating total cost of college, which survey respondents reported increased by 17 percent from the previous year.
* Parents paid nearly half (47 percent) the share of college costs for the 2009-2010 academic year and students paid roughly one quarter through income, savings, and loans.
* 15 percent of families used money from a college savings plan—up from 11 percent last year and 9 percent two years ago.
* To make college more affordable, most families reduced spending (73 percent) or increased work hours or earnings (48 percent), but a remarkable 43 percent of families report that their student lived at home.
* Most (3 out of 4) students and parents do not have a plan to pay for the full degree when they enroll.
Is your college student staying at home? Do you think it takes the college experience? What else are you doing to pay for or prepare for college? Do you think a pricey education will be rewarded with higher income upon graduation?

I'm not surprised at this at all. How many families can afford to send their child off to college and live in a dorm or apartment and pay for food and tuition and books? Not many. We're supposed to be in a time where people are getting more real about their finances and trying to avoid borrowing money.
My oldest lived at home for about 2 years. She is now living in a small house that we bought at housing collapse prices. Cheaper than paying rent. My son is able to live in a small apartment in someone's home for $20/ month as part of his part-time ministry work. He goes to school close to there. There is no way we could afford for both of them to be away at school living in dorms or apartments. I just saw yesterday that student loans now are a greater burden to Americans than credit card debt.
It is not necessary to "go away to college" to become educated. That is a total American myth.
We have a 529 for our 3rd child. But I don't know if it is enough.
No, I do not think that pricey education is rewarded with higher income in the vast majority of cases.

I'm suprised at the number of parents paying for their kids schools. I have to pay everything myself, except my car insurance. Luckily I have the Hope Scholarship and actually picked a good career, otherwise graduating with 30,000 in debt from UGA and starting at around 32,000 for the average graduate that would take years to repay. Choose your career wisely or just go to the community college.

I saved a ton of money during college. I got my bachelors degree in Journalism for well under $20k. How? Some FAFSA money, community college, work grants (Starbucks helps their employees!), and a little thing called CLEP tests.
CLEP tests allow you to "test out" of college. For example, the Spanish CLEP can earn you up to 12 college credits in one sitting.
Now I work for a college coaching company that helps students get their degrees. Most of our students get their fully accredited degree in 2 years for under $20k. It's worth looking into. http://www.collegeplus.org

To engage Hispanic audiences, many companies must decide whether their Spanish-language broadcast outreach should employ a voice-over talent with either a neutral or a regional accent.
At first glance, a neutral accent may be the best solution as it's the easiest for all US Latino communities to understand. But, using a regional
accent may deliver the same message with a level of genuineness that could make for a stronger connection.
The Mexican accent may immediately be your first choice when choosing a regional accent, simply because Mexicans make up the largest percentage of US Hispanics. Plus, it's also the regional accent most requested with voice-over talent.
"The Mexican accent is the most recognizable throughout Latin America due to the influence of Mexican cinema and the fact that the majority of TV shows and movies are translated over there," says former journalist and voice-over talent Armando Plata.
A Bogotá, Colombia native, Plata credits his training as an actor as key to mastering regional accents. He feels in order to fully embrace an accent, it's necessary to partake in each culture. That's how he's been able to manage Cuban, Mexican, and Argentine accents.
"On several occasions, I have gotten requests for regional Colombian accents, as
well as to narrate with a Mexican accent," says Raul Escalante (Raul Escalante Productions – raulescalantevoice.blogspot.com), who's also from Bogotá and can do a variety of local Colombian accents, including the Paisa, Valluno, Tolimense, and Cachaco. He also can speak with Mexican and Argentine accents.
Plata and Escalante agree that mastering a neutral Spanish accent has been a plus in their voice-over careers.
Escalante has worked as Jorgen Von Strangle, in 'Los Padrinos Mágicos' (Fairly OddParents) and with major brands such as Johnnie Walker, Univision, McDonald's, and Lexus.
Plata has performed narrations for Disney, Coca-Cola, Walmart, AT&T, and Western Union.
Both agree that national and international brands generally request a neutral accent to reach a wider range of potential consumers.

Could Brad Richards be staying in New York after all?
With Pittsburgh beating Ottawa 4 - 1 and Los Angeles beating San Jose 2 - 0 last night, The Checking Line: Isles Edition will take a look into the other two semifinal series. (Photo Credit: Torch Creative)
The New York Islanders kick of their final stretch of games for the 2013 season against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight. The Isles play their last 5 games of the lockout-shortened season away from Nassau Coliseum.
The Islanders head in to Toronto 1-0-1 against the Maple Leafs this season. After a huge 7-4 win over the Leafs back in January, the Isles lost 5-4 in overtime against Toronto in February, where Nazeem Kadri tallied his first NHL hat-trick for the Leafs.
Are the Islanders finally better than the Rangers? It has taken years to ask that question and not be mocked for sheer insanity or stupidity. With the resurgence of the Isles' play and unexpected rise up the Eastern Conference standings, fans of the Islanders would answer with a resounding yes.
Supporters of the contrary would argue the results of the 2013 season series between the heated rivals. The Rangers bested the Islanders 3 out of 4 times. Aside from the first meeting of February 7th, where the lifeless Isles were drubbed 4-1 at MSG, each game has been close.
The games were so close that, in reality each contest could have went to either side. Who could forget Saturday's epic battle that saw the Isles fall in overtime? Fans of the orange and blue wanted to blame the referees but after the loss settled, it became evident that they just had a better goaltender. Henrik Lundqvist, when on, is the best goalie in the NHL.
The New York Islanders will take on the Boston Bruins at 7pm at the TD Garden in Boston. The Islanders (20-16-4) are looking to continue their success in the most serious playoff push the team has had in years, going 7-1-1 in their last 9 games.
Despite their recent point streak that has carried the Isles into the top 8 in the East, the Bruins (26-9-4) have been no walk in the park for the New York club this season. The Northeast Division leaders have won both meetings between the two this season and have outscored the Isles 8-3. (Photo Credit: Hazboy/Flickr)
The New York Islanders extended their best home-winning streak this season to 4 on Tuesday night by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1. The Isles, who are now 7-1-1 in their last 9 games, are now tied for 6th place in the Eastern Conference at 44 points with the Ottawa Senators.
After Michael Grabner scored the go-ahead goal towards the end the of second period, the Isles held their composure in another stellar third period effort to come out on top of the Atlantic Division's bottom club. (Photo Credit: IslesPunkFan/Flickr)
The New York Islanders and the Washington Capitals took the ice on Thursday night in Washington D.C. for their third and final meeting of the 2012 - 2013 season. With the Islanders being victorious in the first two matchups, the red-hot Caps would take this one in a 2-1 shootout.
After the Capitals scored at the end of the first period, it wouldn't be until the end of the third when Kyle Okposo tied the game 1-1. After an incredible showcase by goaltenders Evgeni Nabakov and Braden Holtby, Alexander Ovechkin would notch the lone shootout tally to send the Isles off with only a point. (Photo Credit: clydeorama/Flickr)
The Islanders face the Pittsburgh Penguins this afternoon for the 5th and final time this season. After winning the first matchup, the Isles fell to the Pens in the three following games.
The Islanders come into today's 1pm matinee game at Energy Consol Centre tied for 8th place in the Eastern Conference with the New York Rangers. Thanks to a huge shootout victory against the Flyers on Thursday night, New York is currently on their best win streak of the season at 3.
The decision remains optional, but recent history suggests that the use of visors on hockey helmets should be mandatory.
Simply put, the eyes are the most important part of a hockey player, and they must be protected.
Last night in a game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers, a Kimmo Timonen slap shot deflected off of a Flyer stick and straight up into the face of Rangers defenseman Marc Staal. Staal was left in a pool of his own blood on the ice, holding his right eye.
Staal left the game immediately after being hit directly in the eye, and is out indefinitely. According to a tweet by Nick Kypreos, the injury is not believed to be career-threatening.

Any Islanders fan that has been at the Coliseum in the past couple of years will be able to support everything I am about to say.
It takes more than a house to make a home and the 2013 NHL season on Long Island continues to prove that.
Somehow, someway fans of every other team get their hands on boat loads of tickets creating an environment that wipes out home ice advantage.
This epidemic has been obvious in almost every home game this year. Every team from near and far, will fill the Nassau Coliseum with their loyalties and jerseys. The Devils, Flyers, Bruins and Leafs have all taken over the Coliseum recently.
How embarrassing was it for fans to watch hats rain from the ceiling when Toronto's Kadri netted his third goal to complete a hat trick on Thursday?

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) – The Holy Cows First Robotics Team from High Tech High used a fundraising program called Piggybackr to raise more than $3,000 to help their team build a robot and participate in the First Robotic Competition, which is considered the Super Bowl of "smarts."
They won the Chairman's Award in the World Championship, which is no small feat considering this program is comprised of more than 71,000 high school students from around the world.
Now, the 80 members of the Holy Cows team need your help. They need donations so the team can go back to the World Championships, held Saint Louis, again this year and put San Diego on the map.

Evangelos Venizelos may see "good omens" as he continues talks with fellow party leaders Friday in a bid to put together a Greek government and avoid a June election that could effectively turn into a referendum on the country's euro membership.
The rising popularity of Syriza, the left-wing party that surged to a second-place finish in Sunday's parliamentary elections on a campaign pledge to nullify the austerity terms of its bailout program, appears to have concentrated the minds of the country's traditionally dominant parties – Venizelos's Socialists, or Pasok, and the conservative New Democracy, said Jeremy Stretch, currency strategist at CIBC in London.
Venizelos told reporters that he saw a "good omen" after the leader of the Democratic Left party outlined a proposal for a unity government aimed at keeping Greece in the euro while working to achieve a gradual "disengagement" from austerity measures, Bloomberg reported.
And if Venizelos's latest efforts come to naught, there will likely be a final effort under the auspices of Greek President Karolos Papoulias to get major party leaders to agree to a unity government. But that would be unlikely to provide lasting calm to markets or ease the fears of the country's creditors.
"Any grouping would be inherently unstable and prone to early break up. Thus the ability to enact austerity, including the extra €11.5bn required by the end of next month remains in doubt," Stretch said, in a note to clients.
That means Greek political turmoil is likely to keep pressure on the euro, he said, with "any short-term optimism of a solution just giving better levels to sell, this as we look for a break towards $1.2850 next week," he said.

June Christmas continues...
An appliqué, then machine blanket stitched, 12" sq. pillow completed yesterday while DGD spent the night.
The Santa fabric was perfect for the back.
And since I had no pillow form, made one from doubled muslin.
Happy Thursday.

It's probably not fair to make generalized statements about what sort of WoW players have friends or not. I've actually really enjoyed reading about how most of you have the same loyalty to all people, whether you're interacting with them in the game or in real life: you'll go wherever you said you would in the first place, and keep your existing commitments. Too many people forget that others on the internet really are people too.
Regarding the shortening of "Shadow Labyrinth", I did know that it's not "Shadow Laboratories," but for some reason everyone on my server shortens it to "Shadowlabs" rather than anything else. I did the same not realizing anyone would care. At first, months back, I thought the instance was was Shadow Laboratories, it's true, but then I realized the truth, and just adopted "labs" as another shortening of "labyrinth" since ... well it's better than "Shadow Laby," right?
Anyway, if it's really important to you, we can compromise: in the next comic I draw, I'll just mention Shattered Halls instead. :)

Happy Holidays tumblr peeps! See you all next week!
Day 220. Pet Week, Day 2. The A/C went out last night. This is how the cats tried to stay cool while we waited for the repairperson. Maybe their furry little bellies act as heat sinks?
By the way, the adorable vampire cat in the upper right corner is still available for adoption. While we initially thought she was FIV+, a fancier PCR-based test revealed that she doesn't actually have the virus (she just has the antibodies; it's likely she was vaccinated for FIV), so she's totally healthy and ready for a good home (other than ours!) in the Austin, TX area. Please help me not be
any more of a crazy cat lady than I already am!
Day 153. Take my cat… please!
This is a bit of a departure from the normal photo post, but I'm getting a little desperate. Ms. October is a playful, affectionate, and ultra-sweet short-haired black cat looking for a good home indoors, without other cats, where she can become the ultimate lap cat. She showed up in our backyard last October and, after some trouble with the local wildlife, ended up recuperating in our guest room about a month ago. While she's a sweetheart, we're already overrun with cats, and all parties are ready for her to move out of the guest room. October is FIV+, but our vet (and the Internet) indicated that in the right situation (i.e., indoor-only, only cat), she's very likely to have a perfectly normal lifespan (assuming she even has FIV; cruelly, the test could also have been positive due to her having been vaccinated for FIV). If you're in central Texas and are potentially interested in adopting October, please email me.
UPDATE: A PCR-based FIV test came back negative, so October is very, very likely not FIV+. As such, she'd be happy in a house with or without other cats.
A true Austin snow day (with honest-to-goodness snow as opposed to ice) isn't quite up there with seeing Elvis and Bigfoot riding around on unicorns and juggling hens' teeth, but it's pretty close. Anyway, it snowed, and I went a little crazy. For those who are interested in that sort of thing, the Diana photos (first and last) are on Fuji Pro 400H; all the others are on Kodak Portra 160NC.
Day 97. Snow Day

To get a sense of The Greene Turtle's commitment to the neighborhood, one need only sit at the bar and look up. Dozens of mugs hang above the counter, emblazoned with the pub's logo and a unique number—each one belongs to a recurring patron. The Mug Club awards its members with draft-beer discounts and other specials, but more importantly, it allows loyal patrons to feel as though they own small slices of the venue without tattooing their names on the bartender's arm. This sense of shared familiarity is what fuels the entire franchise, which refrains from calling its locations "restaurants" in favor of friendlier terms: gathering places, communities, havens.
Many of the locations contribute more than mugs to their districts. Staff members who participate in the annual Tips for Tots program donate the entirety of one day's tips to a nearby Toys for Tots initiative, and Tuesday Funds for Friends events benefit local organizations. These efforts have been chronicled by press sources such as Food and Drink magazine, with features that liken The Greene Turtles' philanthropic generosity to the generous portions of comfort food that leave the kitchens.
From cheeseburger sliders and flatbread pizzas to handmade lump-crab cakes, the offerings on the menu embrace barroom traditions along with ingenuity. The steak and chicken entrees arrive with classic sides of green beans and yukon gold mashed potatoes, whereas the eastern shore mac 'n' cheese updates a comfort staple with chopped bacon, lump crab, scallions, and Old Bay seasoning. Diners can enjoy their meals by the glow of private flat-screen TVs—there's one in every booth—or beneath one of many larger televisions broadcasting sports games throughout the venue.
Augustine Golf Club's award-winning course was sculpted to reflect its natural beauty with its distinctive par 4s sculpted by course architect, Rick Jacobson. Although the greens at Augustine declined for a few years, recent renovations have restored the course to its former glory, once again luring golfers to its babbling streams and forest. Farther north, rivals Augustine's sister course, Raspberry Falls. Course architect Gary Player remarked that the Falls, once an 18th-century plantation, "was made for a golf course." Inspired by this ideal setting, he dreamed up the links-style course at Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club, whose meandering brooks, stone walls, and stacked-sod bunkers evoke Scotland, while its vista of the Catoctin Mountains remind players they're in Virginia.
These golf havens have more than picturesque views in common—they are two of six award-winning courses united by Raspberry Golf Management's portfolio, which stretches from Virginia to Pennsylvania and skips over to Arizona. Gary Player's design team for Raspberry Falls included Tim Freeland, who went on to design two of the firm's other courses: Royal Manchester Golf Links, whose bentgrass fairways sidle up to the Susquehanna River, and Old Hickory Golf Club, a parkland-style course crisscrossed by Beaver Creek. The management company's other gems include The Legacy Golf Resort, where cowboys used to ride their rocking horses around a 7,500-acre ranch, and Bull Run Golf Club, which sprawls across more than 450 acres of meadows and woodlands at the foot of the Bull Run Mountains.
CEO Peter Harvey believes that a quality gym staff must demonstrate more than technical expertise. "Service doesn't only mean showing someone how to do an arm curl," he says. Certified personal trainers develop workouts that zero in on each person?s specific goals, giving clients the skills to pole-vault over impassable plateaus. By steadfastly refusing to hand out fish in favor of putting on master classes in fishing, they help clients become self-sufficient, educating them on fundamentals.
During these one-on-one sessions, and in solo workouts, guests set calories ablaze atop rows of continually updated equipment. Treadmills, recumbent bikes, and strength-training tools line the walls.
Members can also drop in for as many group classes as they can muster. Inside a separate studio, stationary cycles whir in time with galvanizing music, kickboxing strikes arc through the air, and barbells rise with each BodyPump rep. For more meditative practices, Pilates sessions and several types of yoga enhance flexibility and focus.
A 2,000-year-old game from Asia. An Argentinean polo player. A farm in northern Virginia. What may seem like the openings to three different stories is actually the description of one place: Middleburg Polo Academy. The scenic farm ground originally set the scene to a polo boarding and training facility by seasoned polo player Daniel Tognini and his wife, Ilene. These grounds morphed into an academy in 2007, thanks to the Tognini children, who had become enraptured with polo and the eponymous collared shirts the horses wore. Striving to inspire other youths with the game he first mastered in his native Argentina, Tognini fills Middleburg?s calendar with classes, camps, and private tutorials, teaching the history of polo and techniques to help students eventually compete in the sport.
Along with Middleburg Polo Academy, Daniel runs Amigos Outback Adventure and specializes in rustic outdoor activities. Families gather together to enjoy authentic adventures such as trail rides, canoe and river boat trips, and outdoor wine tastings.
More than 10,000 students have honed their dance stylings in the Loudoun School of Ballet's 6,000-square-foot dance facility, their steps echoing through three studios equipped with Marley floors and acoustic ceilings. The school's graduates have gone on to careers at professional companies and on Broadway thanks to a rigorous year-round training program that starts as early as preschool. The studio's accredited and award-winning instructors sometimes get an assist from guest talent, who encourage upper-level pupils' artistic growth without filling their ballet slippers with fertilizer.
The studio also hosts an adult program geared more toward developing fitness than professional dance careers. Ballet, jazz, and tap courses grant students poise and the ability to conceal cheat sheets of dance tips in their leotards, and fitness courses and Zumba's easy-to-follow Latin dance moves burn calories and raise heart rates.
Though the name might insinuate otherwise, The Beer Joint actually specializes in three things: burgers, bourbon, and, yes, beer. They have so many varietals of the latter two, that all the drinks are divided into three profiles. For bourbon, that's traditional, high-wheat, and high-rye; for beer that's blonds, reds, and bolds, all of which are brewed in the pub's onsite brewery. The burgers are equally varied, and not just in the way of toppings. Some, like the All-American, layer tomatoes, onions, and cheese between sesame-seed buns. Others, like an octogenarian who can slam dunk, are bit more unexpected, like meatball-style sliders on toasted bread, or full-size patties bulked up with suet (beef fat) or Japanese beef. And for those who crave something a little different, The Beer Joint also offers up ribs, wings, and beer-battered mozzarella cheese sticks,

Considered by many to be a comedic genius, Soupy Sales has died of cancer at the age of 83. Read more on Soupy Sales' life and death below.
Soupy Sales was a beloved pie-in-the-face type of comic that was beloved by the Baby Boomer generation.
Soupy's friend, Dave Usher, said the comic died of cancer at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx.
The comedian was born Milton Supman in North Carolina. He was most well-known for his children's show "Lunch with Soupy Sales."
The show's silly sketches had crazy characters like White Fang, Pookie the Lion, Peaches, Philo Kvetch, The Mask, "Onions" Oregano".
Most of his shows ended with Soupy Sales getting a pie smashed in his face, and it became his trademark.
Celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Shirley Maclaine appeared to throw the pies at Soupy.
