B A+F Student Body: I personally have not participated in that many school social events other than study groups. However, there are many social gatherings at Whatcom Community College outside of classes that are put on and organized by the students. The campus is very inviting for students to spend time together outside of classes.
C A+F Academic Flexibility: I have not had too much experience with needing flexibility with my classes or teachers because school is currently my only major commitment. All of my teachers I have had have been willing to work with me to help me succeed. I have had teachers adjust the curriculum slightly from what they originally had planned in order to fit the class, which I find is helpful.
A A+F Online Courses: At Whatcom Community college we just recently switched all of our online classes so they are all held on Canvas. Canvas is a user friendly system that I really like. It is really easy to find current grades, see which assignments are due, participate in class discussions, and submit assignments. One feature that I really love in the grade book is that you can type in a grade that you think you may receive on an assignment and see how it affects your overall grade. This is extremely helpful when determining what grade you will need to get on a final exam or project in order to get the final grade that you want.
B A+F Facilities: At Whatcom Community College we have a very high number of international students. I believe it is beneficial for all of the students to have the ability to interact with students from all different cultures. Personally, I have had students from Russia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Saudi Arabia in my classes and I have learned about little pieces of their cultures. I think that knowledge of other cultures leads to a greater understanding of thinking and a higher tolerance level for people with different beliefs.
Off-Campus Housing: I've only lived at home during my enrollment with WCC. So the only things I know about housing come from what the students have told me.
B A+F Athletics: The students that belong to the sports teams seem to like the fields and facilities as far as I know. Since it's a community college I think that is the reason for hardly any team spirit.
A A+F Majors: Program as in with the internship or with the drama department at WCC? The drama department at WCC is a very fun program and is very beneficial with becoming a better actor. But my standards of what I will and won't do were different with many of those in my class. I don't like acting in things that could be called "dirty" or "unethical" which differed from those I was acting with. In class we did a lot of improvisational acting, which kept me on my toes so that I could turn (what I'd consider) a bad scene into something good.
C A+F Diversity: At the moment I'm attending a Community College and will soon be transferring to SPU (I've already been accepted). The diversity between the two schools are are two different levels. At WCC it seems that the teachers and even the students are very liberal. Which is opposite from me. I'm conservative.
D A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: I only say this based most from the FAFSA not the school. I have never relied on my parents yet their income makes it so I receive no financial aid. I work full time and go to school full time, its already hard for me to live and I am racking up thousands in debt. I just wish there was more options as far as aid and more flexibility.
C A+F Academic Flexibility: I find this school flexible to running start students and day students, but I used to work full time during the day and wanted to go to school full time as well. It was nearly impossible to find the classes I needed in the evening as well as online to pertain to my degree
A A+F Student Body: There were so many different types of people, from so many backgrounds and walks of life. They were all there for different reasons and I was able to learn from their point of view I felt accepted and I learned to be accepting because you weren't likely to find a person exactly like you, but hey that's okay different is really good. People are friendly and I still keep in touch with former classmates because people are that nice. Some people are there to transfer, some to get their GED, some to get a certificate but in the end we were and are there to learn
B+ A+F Academic Flexibility: I've never really had trouble with getting papers signed, and the advisers always helped to make sure that I wasn't like sprinting across campus in order to make it on time. The only real problem with transferring credits was between my high school and the college with gym credits, but other than that like the actual academic credits were so easy to transfer. It was also great to not have to go to class on Fridays and still have short classes with some of my classes.
A A+F Academic Experience: I was intending to go for a major in psychology but because I was in high school I had to take a different route. Although, I will be graduating with a degree in Arts and Sciences, I still feel like I have been prepared by the psychology classes I have taken to get to the next step in my academic career at the next school. By doing the Arts and Sciences degree I could take a wide range of classes which I liked because I didn't have to take what seems like the same class over and over again. The workload was actually really light it seemed like just a lot of reading and writing and just doing exactly what your teacher has told you.
A A+F Academic Experience: When I first started I did Running Start, which allows high school kids to go to the community college and earn their associates degree and high school degree at the same time. I only had one teacher that I felt like didn't really have a very good student-teacher relationship, but other than that the teachers are really good with being available for students. The on-campus resources were talked about all the time, whether by teachers or by signs in the hall ways.
A A+F Academic Experience: The courses I have taken have been rigorous. Every professor has been excellent in providing additional resources.
C A+F Academic Flexibility: The college does not have a creative problem solving approach; they pretty much go by the book.
Career Services: Online Student – Because I am an online student, I have not interacted with Career Services at WCC.
B A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: Keep on Top of It! I found the financial aid personnel very helpful, however I found I need to keep track of every communication because something did happen that affected my aid (papers I mailed got lost). I do feel the courses are definitely worth the money paid.
Campus Resources: I am an online student and do not access campus resources.
A A+F Campus Resources: Online Classes – I have been impressed with the quality of the online teaching. Real classroom professors who bring their expertise and passion for teaching to the wider community.
A+ A+F Online Courses: Convenience AND Quality. Because I live on a remote island, online courses are my only option. So, the courses at WCC are very convenient. However, I have found the professors to be engaging and passionate about their subjects, which creates quality coursework. Online courses are a lot of work, I study 2 hours/day per course, but I think my grades reflect the time I put into it. I figure I am paying for school, why not do my very best?
Campus Resources: Online Student – Because I am an online student, I do not interact with the school's network system.
B A+F Campus Resources: There never seems to be a shortage of available computers in the computer lab for student use. There is free wifi for students but I personally have found being able to connect with the network inconsistent, this is the only reason for a lower score.
A A+F Campus Resources: The staff are always friendly and eager to help students make the most of their education and navigate the waters of funding and scholarships. Whatcom discourages students from taking on student debt and works hard to help with alternative resources.
A+ A+F Online Courses: I have taken online courses before, and I felt like this experience was by far better than any other online course I've taken. The professor truly seemed passionate about the course, wanted to get to know each student in her class and the online testing & grading system was a breeze to work with and understand!

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is the first mandatory U.S. cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide. RGGI sets a cap on emissions of carbon dioxide from power plants, and allows sources to trade emissions allowances. The program began by capping emissions at current levels in 2009, and aims to reduce emissions by 10% by 2018.
RGGI was established in December 2005 by the governors of seven Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont. Massachusetts and Rhode Island both joined RGGI in early 2007, and Maryland joined in April 2007. New Jersey is no longer participating in the cap-and-trade program.
RGGI member states began a 2-year Program Review process in September 2010 to determine how the cap-and-trade program might be strengthened. After a series of stakeholder meetings, RGGI member states released an updated Model Rule to replace the original version that had been finalized in 2006. The updated Model Rule must be formally adopted by participating states through their required legislative and regulatory processes before it will have an effect.
February 7, 2013: RGGI member states release an updated Model Rule.
Novemer 19, 2012: RGGI member states announce the benefits of cap-and-trade revenue investments between 2009 and 2011.
May 26, 2011: Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey announces that his state will exit RGGI's cap-and-trade program as of January 1, 2012.
September 13, 2010: RGGI member states begin a 2-year Program Review process to assess the success of cap and trade and recommend changes.
March 18, 2009: RGGI member states conduct third allowance auction.
December 31, 2008: RGGI member states and RGGI observer Pennsylvania sign a Letter of Intent to develop a Low Carbon Fuel Standard.
December 17, 2008: RGGI member states conduct second allowance auction.
September 25, 2008: RGGI member states conduct initial allowance auction.
July 24, 2008: RGGI releases materials for initial allowance auction.
April 20, 2007: Governor Martin O'Malley of Maryland commits his state to join RGGI, bringing the total number of participating states to ten.
January 30, 2007: Governor Donald Carcieri announces that Rhode Island will join RGGI.
January 18, 2007: Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts commits his state to join RGGI, making Massachusetts the eighth member state.
August 15, 2006: The seven Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) release the final model rule for the program. The model rule provides a set of regulations for the structure and function of RGGI. Each state that intends to participate in RGGI must adopt this rule through legislation or regulation.
March 23, 2006: The seven RGGI states release the draft model rule, which, once finalized, will form the basis of state regulations to implement RGGI. The public is invited to comment on the draft model rule for 60 days, until May 22, 2006.
December 20, 2005: The governors of seven Northeastern states announce the creation of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The governors of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont sign a Memorandum of Understanding agreeing to implement the first mandatory U.S. cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide. RGGI sets a cap on emissions of carbon dioxide from power plants, and allows sources to trade emissions allowances. The program will begin by capping emissions at current levels in 2009, and then reducing emissions 10% by 2019.

Evolution of a Gamer Episode 6: School Daze
Written by Ryan Johnson (RyanDJ) Saturday, 24 September 2011 11:00
Ryan Johnson of GoozerNation continues his series on the lessons both he and his son are learning as he grows up gaming.
I have gamed all my life. Some of my earliest memories involve gaming. It's like my spiritual life: I never remember my "start" because I always just "was." Strange, too, because my parents and my sister were not gamers. Just me, an old banana yellow portable black and white TV, and Pitfall. That evolved in my own life, through the generations I ran from Mario to Final Fantasy. But consistently, my parents tried to show me that school was more important. I knew I needed school....just didn't understand why I couldn't game when I wanted. Still to this day I know what's important in life, and there's nothing wrong with still wanting to do what you enjoy, even though you're slogging through your daily chores.
But now, I'm the dad. And while I love my son enjoying my hobby, I now see why so many times my parents pushed for focus on studies. Right now, Kindergarten seems so simple, but he does have nightly homework, even if it is "write your name five times." Add in baths and a good bedtime, and nightly gaming just won't happen. Plus, he's got a father hooked on games AND him, so he tempts with co-op Lego Batman, Kirby, or Mario on Wii...I resist, no matter how much I want to join in. I discuss self control. I feel like my parents. We save it for a weekend night, and that makes it all the more special. I think about the mature games I am trying to complete...Red Dead...FF13....and yet I know that this 13th run through Kirby level 1 is so much more worthy of my time and so magical simply because I get to do it with my son. I know that one day soon, I'll get a couple hours to game on my own and continue the games I'm enjoying, but still thoroughly enjoy my gaming time with my son even more. Mom and Dad, thanks for instilling that dedication to school back in the day. I finally know why.

Hailed as a "Town on the Move," Lexington is fueled by economic development. The town boasts southern charm and grace, fostering a united, welcoming environment with neighbors who live and work to better the local community. Lexington is a safe, fun place to raise a family in one of the most beautiful regions of South Carolina. With a population of slightly more than 18,000 locals, Lexington maintains a small town feeling that attracts new residents each year. Look for Lexington apartments for rent, and experience the best qualities of Southern living.
Lexington is a descendent of the township of Saxe Gotha, which was established in South Carolina in 1735. The first settlers were of German and Swiss descent, and helped the local economy with the cultivation of corn, wheat, tobacco, hemp, flax, beeswax and livestock. Many battles were fought in the area during the American Revolution, including the Battle of Tarrar Springs. Lexington County was established in 1785, and the town's name was changed to commemorate the Massachusetts Revolutionary War battle. The town of Lexington was officially incorporated in 1861.
Today, Lexington continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in the United States. As the political center of Lexington County, the town offers many unique opportunities for people from all walks of life. Lexington apartments are the perfect home base to take advantage of the finest attractions in South Carolina.
Local students attend classes at universities 12 miles away in Columbia. The University of South Carolina, Benedict College, Midlands Technical College, Columbia International University, Allen University and South University join a host of other schools in town offering students diverse higher education opportunities.
South Carolina has a number of thriving industries, and many of these companies are located right in Lexington. The Lexington Medical Center is one of the largest in town with just less than 5,000 employees who work in various medical, administrative and support positions to provide critical medical care to residents of the Central South Carolina Midlands. Other top employers include the United Postal Service, Michelin Tire Corporation and Honeywell International. Seventy-three percent of Lexington residents work in management, sales and office occupations with an additional 10 percent holding jobs in the service industry.
With the pristine natural surroundings and convenience of nearby Columbia, Lexington residents pay reasonable rent prices. United States Census Bureau statistics indicate that the average apartment here costs $806 a month, which is $50 less than the national average. Everyday life is also very affordable in Lexington.

Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems, or power generation equipment. Electrical engineers also design the electrical systems of automobiles and aircraft.
Electronics engineers design and develop electronic equipment such as broadcast and communications systems, from portable music players to global positioning systems (GPS). Many also work in areas closely related to computer hardware.
Typical Duties of an Electrical Engineer:
- Design new ways to use electrical power to develop or improve products
- Perform detailed calculations to compute manufacturing, construction, and installation standards and specifications
- Direct manufacturing, installing, and testing to ensure that a product, as built, meets specifications and codes
- Investigate complaints from customers or the public, evaluate problems, and recommend solutions
- Work with project managers on production efforts to ensure that projects are completed satisfactorily, on time, and within budget
Typical Duties of an Electronics Engineer:
- Design electronic components, software, products, or systems for commercial, industrial, medical, military, or scientific applications
- Analyze electrical system requirements, capacity, cost, and customer needs, and then develop a system plan
- Develop maintenance and testing procedures for electronic components and equipment
- Evaluate systems and recommend repair or design modifications
- Inspect electronic equipment, instruments, and systems to make sure they meet safety standards and applicable regulations
- Plan and develop applications and modifications for electronic properties used in parts and systems to improve technical performance
Electronics engineers who work for the federal government research, develop, and evaluate electronic devices used in diverse technologies, such as aviation, computing, transportation, and manufacturing. They work on federal electronic devices and systems, including satellites, flight systems, radar and sonar systems, and communications systems.
The work of electrical engineers and electronics engineers is often similar. Both use engineering and design software and equipment to perform engineering tasks. Both types of engineers must also work with other engineers to discuss existing products and possibilities for engineering projects.
The median annual wage of electrical engineers was $84,540 in May 2010. The top 10 percent earned more than $128,610, and the lowest 10 percent earned less than $54,030.
The median annual wage of electronics engineers was $90,170 in May 2010. The top 10 percent earned more than $135,080, and the lowest 10 percent earned less than $57,860.
Median annual wages in the industries employing the largest numbers of electrical engineers in May 2010 were as follows:
Semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing | $92,070 |
Scientific research and development services | $90,790 |
Navigational, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments manufacturing | $89,590 |
Electric power generation, transmission and distribution | $83,960 |
Architectural, engineering, and related services | $83,750 |

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
He wasn't in the initial touring party however – denied the chance to stake his claim during the RBS 6 Nations because of a knee injury.
But having returned to fitness and taken his place on England's tour to Argentina, he was seconded to Australia because of injuries in the Lions front row.
And after making a fine impression, the Northampton Saints bound loosehead is determined to enjoy an extended spell on the international stage.
"It has been a tough year, and this is the perfect way to end it," he said. "I've always known when I get it right and I am fit and healthy and have a chance to play, then I know what I am capable of.
"I am really looking forward to pushing on with Saints now and putting a marker down there and carrying on from where I have just left off.
"It definitely wasn't easy at times, but there was light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone who wants to doubt me, have a look now and see where I am at. I am going to kick on from here.
"In the back of your mind, you always hope that you would make it on the Lions tour. My goal from the start of the season was to be involved in a Lions tour, and it felt like I had it taken away from me – the opportunity to put a marker down in the Six Nations – with me being out injured.
"But I got my opportunity, and I was going to try to make the most it and take it. If a door opens, just try to walk through it. I am just really over the moon about what has happened."

Things I liked:I like the stock Things I would have changed:The scope or the gun is useless the scope doesn't stay on the gun. The scope or the rings are bad quality it is almost impossible to sight in. I put the scope on another gun had same problem. It is also not a very accurate gun wished I would have never bought it. What others should know:Unless ruger makes changes on this gun I would not tell anybody to purchase this gun. I bought this for my daughter for 4h shooting sports. Big mistake. Things I liked:Love the thumb hole. Makes the trigger pull smoother and easier. For small varmits and plinking it is great. Things I would have changed:None What others should know:Muzzle break works great to quiet the report Things I liked:The Trigger; First stage is smooth and light. Second stage is not too heavy and very crisp. Its the best trigger I've had on any of my springers (unmodified, that is). I've only shot about 200 pellets but it si shooting very accurate. .25 inch groups at 10 yards are not too hard to do with this rifle. The 3-9x40AO scope is pretty good. It has a clear sight picture, is easy to adjust and has a simple duplex reticle. It is a much better scope than some of the other companies include with their rifles. Things I would have changed:The dovetail is very short, about 4 inches. A normal length dovetail would have been better. My little Ruger Explorer youth rifle has a full inch longer dovetail on it. What others should know:It is very heavy. Mine weighed in at 9 lbs. 13 oz. with the scope mounted. For me that means mostly bench rested shooting. I'm pretty sure it's getting close to the rated FPS. I don't have a chrony but the pellets are slamming harder into my steel pellet trap than any of my Crosman rifles do.

The Top 10 Animal Superpowers
So you think Spiderman's and Catwoman's special powers are impressive. They're nothing compared to what these creatures can do
- By Sarah Zielinski
- Smithsonian.com, December 06, 2012
Humans cannot perceive ultraviolet light, but it's still dangerous—UV light causes sunburn, cancer, even blindness. Reindeer, however, are different. Unlike in a human eye, where UV light is blocked by the lens, in a reindeer eye, UV light passes straight through the lens and cornea to the retina. There, researchers have found, the UV light sets off electrical signals in the brain, indicating that reindeer are indeed seeing this light. Why would they need to? In a snowy Arctic where everything appears white to a human, UV vision likely allows reindeer to see a more detailed landscape, including the lichen they eat and the wolves from which they flee.

I think the top 10 animal super power should inculde the hammer headed Sharke and the python, they have power which no other animal in the world have.
