Biasotti: Thunder may have NBA lasting power
I can tell this is going to be a great NBA Finals, because I'm completely stumped when it comes to picking a winner. Certainty is the enemy of fun, open-minded basketball viewing.
Even if I don't have any idea who's going to win, I have some pretty good ideas of what the Heat and Thunder each need to do in order to prevail. Here are three matchups that could determine the title:
1. Scott Brooks vs. Erik Spoelstra
Rodney Dangerfield would love this series. Each team has a coach who don't get no respect, lemme tell ya.
But Brooks and Spoelstra are both good at their jobs. Brooks might be the Thunder's most improved performer this postseason. For years, Oklahoma City has struggled with offensive strategy and execution. They had the most turnovers in the league this past regular season, and the fewest assists. Their point guard, Russell Westbrook, had a hideous assist-turnover ratio of 1.51 — 44th out of the 45 point guards who played enough minutes to qualify for the league's leader boards.
Too often, the Thunder's plays consisted of Westbrook or Kevin Durant isolating on a defender while the other four guys watched. That worked pretty well, because those are fantastic one-on-one players, it can only take you so far.
The playoffs have been a different story. The Thunder's assists are up, their turnovers are down, and they're playing as a team — Durant is running off of screens, Westbrook is getting open for lobs in the half-court, and the role players are getting open jumpers.
Spoelstra's made his reputation as a defensive coach, and rightly so: During the regular season. Miami was fourth in the league in points allowed per 100 possessions.
The numbers are equally impressive during the playoffs, but there were times against both Indiana and Boston when the Heat's intensity let up. That can't happen against Oklahoma City, a much better offensive team than anyone Miami has faced so far.
Miami plays a gambling half-court defense, trapping opposing ball-handlers and leaving little room for error. When Westbrook comes off of a pick-and-roll and looks for that pogo-stick jumper from the free-throw line, Miami's big men need to be there to meet him. Westbrook carved the Lakers and Spurs up with that shot in the last two rounds. If he does the same to Miami, the Heat are cooked.
2. Chris Bosh vs. Serge Ibaka (and Kendrick Perkins)
Because Bosh is Miami's third-best player, he's constantly overlooked and underestimated. After watching the Heat play without him for half of this year's playoff games, it should be clear how important he is.
Bosh's presence changes everything Miami does on offense. He's the team's only reliable threat as a midrange shooter, so he keeps defenses from clogging the lane when James and Wade drive.
With Bosh injured for the beginning of the Heat-Celtics series, Kevin Garnett was able to roam on defense, disrupting Miami's pick and roll and shadowing Wade and LeBron wherever they went. Once Bosh came back, Garnett had to play him straight up, and LeBron went into beast mode.
Bosh is a tough cover for most power forwards, but he's an absolute nightmare if he's matched up against a center. In the playoffs, the Heat have been playing Bosh at center almost exclusively; in his nine games, he's put in only 19 minutes alongside one of the Heat's traditional centers. If the Heat keep that up, Thunder center Kendrick Perkins could be in for a long series.
Perkins has no chance of staying with Bosh defensively, and he's a liability on offense no matter who's guarding him. Brooks should sit him unless the Heat are playing Joel Anthony, Ronny Turiaf or someone else he can guard without embarrassing himself.
Even if Bosh is guarded by Serge Ibaka — an athletic power forward who could theoretically stay with him on the perimeter — the Heat have the advantage. Ibaka is the best shot-blocker in basketball. He wants to be in the paint, challenging Wade and LeBron at the rim, not guarding Bosh 20 feet out.
3. LeBron James vs. Kevin Durant
This is the Finals matchup we've been waiting for since the season began. James is the best player in the league and Durant just might be the second-best. It's the first time since 1995 — when Hakeem Olajuwon's Rockets beat Shaquille O'Neal's Magic — that two superstars who play the same position, and will spend major minutes guarding each other, have faced each other in the Finals.
There's no "winning" this matchup one-on-one. James and Durant will both put up big numbers. Whoever avoids the temptation to play Hero Ball and throw up contested fadeaway 20-footers will give his team the best shot at winning.
For the Thunder, the key to guarding James will be keeping him out of the lane, forcing him to take jump shots and not giving him wide-open teammates to pass to.
The Heat will try to force Durant to catch the ball far from the basket, with his back turned, and make him create on the dribble. Durant has improved his ball-handling, but he's still most comfortable catching and shooting.
The key to this matchup might be a third player, Heat forward Shane Battier. Miami will need LeBron to guard Westbrook at times, too, so Battier will presumably spend some time against Durant.
Battier is a wild card — he has a reputation as a good defender, and he's still a very smart one, but he's lost a step or two, and I'm not sure he can stay with Durant. Carmelo Anthony lit him up in the first round. Melo is good, but he's no Kevin Durant.
Weighing those matchups doesn't bring me any closer to a prediction. I'll take the easy way out. Since I think this series will go six or seven games, and most of them will be close, I'll pick the Thunder. They've got the homecourt advantage, and that's worth just enough to break the tie.

Toledo is rated 9th most affordable college town
Toledo is one of the top 10 most affordable college towns in the nation, Coldwell Banker Real Estate said Thursday.
The New Jersey-based company ranked the affordability of 120 cities that are home to Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly Division I-A, schools. Toledo, home of the University of Toledo, was deemed the ninth most affordable college town. Bowling Green, home to Bowling Green State University, is 23rd on the list.
The rankings were based on average home sale prices for four-bedroom, two-bathroom houses listed on Coldwell Banker's Web site between April and September.
Muncie, Ind., home of Ball State University, was named the most affordable college town, while Palo Alto, Calif., where Stanford University is located, was ranked most expensive.

I think you're unnecessarily tying yourself in knots here Nicky. You don't need to worry at all about the accreditation status of your degree, you need to concern yourself with its *quality*.
If your course is well developed, rigorous and properly delivered, you will have a fine degree which will serve you well in your future career and be perfectly acceptable to the engineering institutions for professional registration, regardless of whether it is currently accredited.
Accreditation is effectively just a pre-vetting process, whereby an institute like the IET or IMechE examine the course, its content and delivery, and assure themselves it is of appropriate quality. If they are happy with what they find, the course is then held to satisfy the academic requirements for professional registration for a certain period of time.
When you apply for registration with one of the institutes you need to show your academic achievements match those laid down in the appropriate section of the Engineering Council UK SPEC document. If your degree course has already been through the vetting process and is accredited, it simply means that part of your application doesn't need to be looked at again at that stage, it's already been done. However, if your course isn't/wasn't accredited it is no problem, the vetting process can simply be done for you individually at the point you apply for registration. In this situation, you will provide the institution with information about your modules, course content, examinations etc, and they will satisfy themselves that you meet the academic requirements. It is perfectly standard and routine, and will not cause you any difficulty.
The one thing you *must* ensure though, is that your university is going to provide a high quality degree programme, with appropriate standards, rigour and student support. This is absolutely vital, but if you are confident in this regard, stop worrying and enjoy your studies.
We're not really in a position to help you asses the quality of your course, we don't have enough information. On the one hand you've stated that your university is "decent", has a good track record for engineering, and runs several other courses which are currently accredited. This sounds very promising. If they already have the confidence of one or more institutes it seems very likely they will have put together a respectable course that will satisfy all the appropriate requirements.
On the other hand, you've also said "Just had a bad experience throughout the foundation degree so i'm a little pessamistic" which doesn't sound so promising. If they have made a bit of a hash of delivering your foundation degree, what have they done to correct their deficiencies? Are you certain you won't be getting more of the same?
Given that you are a group of only 5 students and your university have no intention of running the course once they've met their obligations to you, I'd be a little concerned that you may not be given the support or commitment you will deserve. Remember, you'll be paying a great deal of money for your education, they need to get it right because you'll only get one shot at it.
My advice then is don't worry at all about accreditation, it is a technicality and a red herring. Assure yourself that your university have the commitment and resources to deliver a high quality degree programme to you and your fellow 4 students. If you are satisfied they will, get stuck in and enjoy. If you're not confident they will do so, take yourself and your money elsewhere.
Incidentally, I'd like you to name your university. I don't think it needs to be kept a secret, no one has said anything dreadful, we are simply discussing your experiences and educational choices, we should know who they are.

Wow, that is some great advice, thanks.
The reason I am so weary is because ill be 29 when I graduate and I have been working in a call centre full-time for 5 years.
Last chance saloon some might say. I can't afford to leave uni with anything going against me (none accreditation).
It's Teesside University. Middlesbrough has its bad press but I think the uni is good. Like I say, there are lots of engineering degrees already accredited and some are pending/will soon be making an application so i'm sure mine will be fine as it's been designed to meet UK-SPEC but I want assurance/guarantee. I don't see why they can't add mine to the list as the IET welcomes multiple applications at no extra cost per visit. The visitors are voluntary peers so costs seem low. They just look for reimbursement of travel expenses. If they don't accredited mine it will be the only engineering degree with this status.
Anyways, can I go back to this:
1. Some employers preferentially recruit from accredited degrees. NetworkRail that I mentioned do for some positions.
2. No job = No experience
3. No experience = No IEng status
I think that says I am at a disadvantage. Am I wrong?

Hi Nicky,
I was in the exact same position as you as I'd went back to uni in my mid-20s and had to ensure I was going to be able to get a good job post-qualification.
Some employers can be sticklers when it comes to accredited courses as they may have registered training agreements of which the standard to enroll is an accredited degree. However, it really is not as black and white as this, as your course may have more than enough meat on the bones to achieve certification but because it is relatively new, the university hasn't got round to the process. That shouldn't be held against you.
If I were in your position, I would check with IET to see if someone can review your course and if they are happy then join and as a student member. Meaning if the question of accredtiation comes up in an interview, you will already have a positive response to give - rather than just letting them tell you that it's not accredited and that could be a problem. It would also show that you're being proactive and that you want to become professionally qualified.
Slightly off-topic here but career advice nonetheless - the best way I got a kick start in my engineering career was to pick up work in industry during my studies; therefore, giving you the edge over other graduates by having qualifications plus relevant work experience. Plus, it made me far more focussed on my studies at university.

Teesside University is a well respected and well established university and a degree from them will also be respected. Just remember that your prospective employer will not view them through your eyes but rather will go on their reputation and brand. There are very few, in relation to all those which are available, engineering jobs which ask for accredited degrees and I cannot see that changing anytime soon because the IET/EC do not have the brand recognition that a university education does. I suggest to enjoy your studies and do the best you can because when you are 29 your year of being 28 will be gone forever and will never come again. Study is not just about getting a job but rather it is also about enjoying learning about new things in the area in which you have an interest and want to have a career.

How do you know BEng Tech and BSc have the same meaning? Is there a website you could point me to?
On second thoughts I am not sure if it's anything to do with BSc?
It could mean; Bachelor of Engineering in Technology. Which sounds nonsense.
Or it could mean; Bachelor of Engineering & Technology in honour of the IET perhaps?
If it means the latter, then it's a completely new title and one I've never heard of until now.
You should find out from your University what exactly BEng Tech means?
This page shows that all their top-up courses are referred to as BEng Tech. If you click on one of them it suggests they will be applying for IEng accreditation.

Thanks everyone.... This has helped me lots!
The next step is to speak to uni - when they reply!
That link is a different degree ha
14 April 2012 04:43 AM
If you're going to lobby the university to have your course accredited, you may want to recruit your fellow students.
I'd suggest all 5 of you individually write letters to the head of the engineering department setting out your case for accreditation, hand deliver them on the same day, and ask (politely) for a formal response from the college.
That sort of approach would be impossible to ignore, and the college would then have to set out in writing to you their specific reasons for not accrediting, if they wanted to stick with that choice.
Good luck.
14 April 2012 06:58 AM
Ahhhh yes, good idea gruff!
I will certainly do that. Thanks

Interesting thread.
12 February 2013 09:50 AM
I guess after acquiring MIET from IET, there remains no issue of non-accredited degree while proceeding towards C.Eng. This is because the non-accredited degrees were already assessed for MIET.
If someone obtained MIET, then for him/her only experience is required to achieve C.Eng.The question of non-accredited degree would be no longer exist.
Please write your comments or suggestions.
Best regards,
12 February 2013 12:52 PM
There's no requirement for an accredited degree for MIET - just something that's relevant to engineering or technology. I don't even have an engineering degree, but I was accepted for MIET without question.
CEng requires that you meet the requirements of the Engineering Council, not the IET.

The charter stipulates maximum use of natural and organic ingredients, no animal-derived ingredients, no animal testing, and the harvesting of raw materials by adults and from plant species that are known to be non-endangered. Both the Stella Bath Line and the Body Care range incorporate the benefits of two key organic ingredients, butterfly lavender aromatic water and French rose essential oil, which stimulate the skin to produce B-endorphins and offer protective/antioxidant properties respectively.
Organic and natural ingredients are beneficial options for the spa. Pangea Organics, recently re-launched its organic skin care products with new packaging and new additions that contain no petrochemicals or parabens. The products are used in spas across the country. White sage, a primary ingredient, is antiseptic; geranium relieves stress; and yarrow is anti-inflammatory. Additionally, the product is purported to cleanse and balance the skin without sulfates, synthetic preservatives or detergents. Pangea offers an assortment of cold-processed natural soaps that includes fennel (an antiseptic and toner), grapefruit and sweet orange.
Sexy and Specific
New additions to Victoria's Secret Spa Collection feature high-performance, pampering products. A Firming Bust Cream, Daily Firming Lotion, plus a Renewing Hand smoother are the latest indulgences from this lifestyle brand. The gel-cream formula of the Firming Bust Cream contains marine and botanical ingredients found in the product's Bio Bust Firming Complex, which the company says will prevent loss of elasticity. In addition to moisturizing and nourishing with vitamins A, C and E, the product contains grape seed oil, white tea complex and caffeine.
Also from Victoria's Secret, Beauty is Bare Fruit™ is the culmination of a partnership between Victoria's Secret Beauty and Murad Research Laboratories that combines the natural properties of fruit botanicals and scientific technologies. Hilarie Murad, president of Murad Research Laboratories (an affiliate of Murad, Inc.), said, "With the legacy behind the development of Bare Fruit™, we co-developed a high-quality skin care line that takes its inspiration, literally and figuratively, from ancient fruit remedies. Fruit extracts appeal to a woman's sensual, feminine side and, at the same time, deliver real skin care results."
The skin care regimen includes cleansers, moisturizers and special treatment items—available in three collections that target different skin types. Pomegranate utilizes antioxidants to revitalize and balance, fig is for oily skin, and olive offers moisturizing and hydrating properties.

MASSENA - The sirens blaring through the streets of Massena Sunday night werent for an emergency.
They were welcoming home the Massena Red Raiders hockey team, who earlier in the day captured the New York state Division I high school championship with a 4-1 victory over Ithaca.
The teams bus arrived home under police escort, starting in Gouverneur, then to Canton and finally to Massena. The New York State Police, U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection each had two or more vehicles leading the team into Masssena. The Massena Rescue Squad sent its complete fleet for the procession and, with their sirens blaring and emergency lights flashing, the Massena Volunteer Fire Department and Massena Police Department escorted the team for the final leg of the journey to the Massena Arena.
Supporters stood along Main Street to applaud the players as they raised their heads out of the bus window and lifted their finger in the air to announce, Were number one.
Another crowd waited at the Massena Arena on the blustery evening to welcome them home with shouts of joys, banners, hugs and high fives. Each player was introduced individually as he disembarked from the bus into the crowd of excited fans.
Its just amazing, sophomore Ben Sprague. Its the best feeling Ive ever had.
Its a great day to be a Red Raider, said coach Mike Trimboli, who was named Division 1 coach of the year. Team captain Tyler Young was named the New York state Division 1 high school player of the year, and he and Devin Page were named to the All-Tournament Team.
Mr. Trimboli said he appreciated the crowd support, including a large contingent that traveled to Utica.
I thank everybody from this town and village for coming out here and supporting these boys. You are truly our seventh man, Mr. Trimboli said.
The atmosphere in Utica was just tremendous. The Massena crowd was four time the size of the Ithaca crowd, said Jerry Manor, who called the game on WMSA radio.
The wins didnt come easy, Mr. Trimboli said, but the team sacrificed everything they had to make sure they came home the champions.
They sacrificed. They traveled the hard road, he said. They stayed steady. They stayed true.
He also paid homage to the late Louis Trevino, who was known as the Red Raiderss biggest fan
I had to blow the (fire) siren because Louies not here to blow the whistle, he said.
Six seniors will graduate with the state title on their resume - Josh Blair, Cameron Marsh, captain Tyler Young, Jeremiah Reagan, Ryan Thomas and Connor Paquin. But it was a full team effort, according to the coach.
Tournament MVP Patrick Manning scored twice to lead the team in the championship game. Dylan Stone scored the game winner at 7:43 of the second period, and Ryan Thomas sealed the victory with the empty netter with less than a minute left in the game.
All-Tournament goalie Connor Paquin had 16 saves for Massena.
Mr. Manor said, from his vantage in the press box, he saw a Massena team that got better as the season went on.
I was confident going in. Massena has just been getting better. Ithaca came out and tried to slow down the game, but Massena stuck to their game plan. Connor Paquin brought his A game. He made some tremendous saves and the Massena defense stepped up. Each player on that team contributed. Thats how you win championships, playing as a team, he said.
This was the teams sixth state championship since 1980, and their first since 2008.
I just think its great for the kids. You see the excitement in their face. When you see that, you know its worth it, Athletic Director Tim Hayes said. Any time you can get to this point, anything can happen. Theyre a confident bunch.
Its a bittersweet moment for the players, he said.
The coaches and athletic director are here for the long haul. The kids only get a chance at this once. Mike does a great job with the kids, he said.
When the moment arrives, its time to savor it, said Mr. Manor, who has been the Raiders hockey play-by-play radio man for 31 years.
Believe me, folks, it never gets old, he said.

For the one-semester Principles of Macroeconomics courses at four- and two-year colleges and universities.
Learn economics through real business examples.
The number-one question students of economics ask themselves is, "Why am I here, and will I ever use this?" Hubbard/O'Brien answers this question by demonstrating that real businesses use economics to make real decisions everyday. This is something all students can connect to, whether they're business majors or not, because students encounter businesses in their daily lives. And regardless of their future career path–opening an art studio, doing social work, trading on Wall Street, working for the government, or bartending at the local pub–students will benefit from understanding the economic forces behind their work.

The Best Coffee Shops Near 50 College Campuses

Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Throwing it back to the old-school SATs seems fit for a college-focused article: Lithium is to batteries, as _____ is to college students. The obvious answer is, of course, coffee.
Click here to see the Best Coffee Shops Near 50 College Campuses (Slideshow)
Coffee might as well be part of the blood pumping through students' veins. It's a delicious and naturally low-calorie jolt of caffeine for which we're ever so grateful. There's a moment in every college student's career that causes a dependence on coffee (and if you haven't had yours yet, it's coming). Whether you're up late finishing that 10-page paper due tomorrow, waking up at 6 a.m. to squeeze in a workout before class, or simply catching up with friends, you're likely in need of a cup of coffee. Coffee is a driving force in the collegiate life; nearly every college offers a chain's brew on campus or nearby. But we decided to look past the convenience of the trusty chains and find the best coffee shops near college campuses.
A 2013 NPR report by Allison Aubrey notes that college-aged consumption of coffee has increased in the past decade. According to survey data from the NPD group, which tracks trends in Americans' food and drink intake, 18- to 24-year-olds are drinking more coffee than caffeinated sodas. In 2002, about 25 percent of members in that age bracket reported drinking coffee within a two-week period. By 2012, the same data was tracked, but had risen to 39 percent.
coffee shops near 50 of the nation's top colleges and universities. We took into consideration a variety of criteria: the price of a small brewed coffee (because we have to pinch our pennies while spending hours at the coffee shop studying); its proximity to campus; its Wi-Fi capabilities; whether it's known as "study central" or "grab-and-go;" its date-night quality (for those awkward first dates); steep prices; late hours; and campus cash options. We think the shops on this list properly encompass what both the coffee-crazy or java-juvenile college student would look for in a coffee shop.
So as the school year starts, venture out further than the convenient coffee chain on campus (though many of the spots on this list are located right on campus, too). There are so many wonderful coffee shops out there, but these ones stood out to us and to students who attend the universities. Curious to know if your school made the list? Check out the best coffee shops near 50 college campuses here.

Regulations under Development
National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
This section focuses on the current regulatory status of certain contaminants and public water system operations. The public has many opportunities for involvement in EPA's rulemaking process, from stakeholder and early involvement meetings, to review and commenting on Notices of Data Availability and formal rule proposals in the Federal Register. EPA rulemaking also involves small business and tribal government consultations and official committees established under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). EPA publishes a list of public meetings on issues ranging from proposed regulations to the development of databases and publishes a list of public meetings and regulations and draft documents that are open for comment in the Federal Register.
Total Coliform
EPA established a committee under the Federal Advisory Committee Act whose purpose is to provide advice and make recommendations to the Agency on revisions to the existing Total Coliform Rule, Rule Distribution System Advisory Committee. On September 18, 2008, the Committee signed an Agreement in Principle (AIP)(PDF) that recommends revisions to the 1989 Total Coliform Rule.
The 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments required EPA to establish a multimedia approach to address the public health risks from radon.EPA proposed regulations to reduce the public health risks associated with radon in air and water on November 2, 1999.

A water main break east of Wellington caused a flood of H2O to flow along the side of Highway 6 and into yards of a number of houses on Friday morning. Price River Water Improvement District personnel were on the scene shutting off the water and digging up the broken line early, but not before some people were almost trapped in their homes by the ice and water. Apparently no basements were affected but at least one garage got a good deal of water in it. Some of the areas around the homes will have a constant cover of ice until the weather warms up enough to melt it and warm up the ground so it can run off or soak in.

Beyonce wins six Grammys, the most ever by a woman
It's a tribute to the Grammys' success at becoming more a musical spectacle than an awards show that on the night she made history, Beyonce was just another face in the crowd.
Pop's reigning diva earned six Grammys on Sunday, more than any woman on a single night of the 52-year-old awards show. Her anthem ''Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)'' was song of the year. But she didn't come onstage to accept that -- her collaborators said she was prepping for a performance -- and four of her other awards came during the non-televised pre-show.
The Grammys' four biggest awards were split four ways: 20-year-old country chanteuse Taylor Swift won album of the year; family rockers Kings of Leon won record of the year for ''Use Somebody''; and the Zac Brown Band was named best new artist.
Etta James still in hospital
RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Etta James' manager said the R&B singer is recovering from sepsis and remains hospitalized in Southern California.
Lupe De Leon said Monday that James is stable and he doesn't know when the 72-year-old singer will be released from the Riverside Community Hospital.
Her son, Donto James, said Friday that Etta James has been hospitlaized for about a week with sepsis caused by a urinary tract infection.
She entered a treatment program to shake a dependency on painkillers and was transferred to the hospital when her condition worsened.
Etta James, who sang everything from blues to jazz, is best known for the hit ''At Last.''
Publicist says Bell, Shepard are engaged
NEW YORK -- Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are engaged.
Bell's publicist, Marcel Pariseau, confirmed the couple's engagement but said Monday that no other details are available.
The 29-year-old Bell and 35-year-old Shepard appear in the romantic comedy ''When in Rome.''
Bell's TV credits include ''Heroes'' and ''Veronica Mars.''

Boys Noize @ The Warehouse Project
Manchester, Friday 1 October
Photographer: Siobhan BoylePhil Brady on 05 October 2010
Throughout history, Manchester has boasted one of the most vibrant music scenes in the world. From northern soul and punk
in the 1970's and the warehouse raves in the acid house-tinged 1980's to Madchester and ultimately the Manchester
club scene in the early 90's, this city has always been a world leader. But it has never quite reached the peak of its
acid-tinged heyday...until now.
The Warehouse Project is a series of nights held over the space of three months in the basement of Piccadilly Station. Reflecting the city's raw energy, this venue is stripped to its bare bones with a red-bricked, dungeon-like exposure, adorned only by lights, 3D screens, some of the world's finest musical talent and thousands of ecstatic revellers, turning the underbelly of Manchester into an underground play pen for the 'avin'-it generation. For one night only the inimitable Boys Noize and his Boysnoize records crew take over the Warehouse Project.
Virtual Festival's first night in town sees another sell-out show as the queues stretch around the station, pretty convenient if you are arriving by train. Packed to the sweaty rafters in true rave style, the line-up is shared between two main stages, opening with DJjedronic on the main stage and Andro warming up the other room. As the crowd pour in, DJ Feadz takes to the main stage as Shadow Dancer pulls in more of the crowd respectively. It seems that while the two rooms are essential, the smaller one doesn't quite kick it off as most of the crowd are now fully charged in anticipation of Fake Blood who is about to take on the main stage for the next couple of hours. There are big cheers as he drops his remix of 'Stuck On Repeat' by Little Boots and the set grows from there on in as the atmosphere reaches fever pitch when he plays 'I Think I like It' and the crowd go ballistic. He leaves the stage to adoring shrieks as Boys Noize enters and blows the roof off the place with Alex Ridha's take on techno.
A superb night and a return to what this city is famous for, as we are eager to return in a couple of weeks for a live show by Doves, Field Music, Steve Mason and Hacienda veteran DJ Mike Pickering.

The BMW 3 Series is a compact premium car that was originally introduced as the as a replacement to the BMW 2002 in 1977. Since that time, 3 Series has gone on to be enormously successful in the United States. In the ensuing decades, BMW has also introduced six generations of the premium compact luxury car. While the 3 Series is still regarded as a compact sports sedan, over the years it has grown steadily in size. Though no heavier than the previous generation, it is larger. Currently, the 3 Series is on its sixth generation and is codenamed F30.
The BMW 3 Series is the top-selling BMW model in the United States and for good reason. Reliable and stylish, the 3 Series makes an excellent vehicle for daily driving as it allows drivers to get through their day-to-day commute without sacrificing comfort and drivability. The 3 Series has a long lasting reputation for being well built and providing a respectable engine power for what is ostensibly a small luxury car with a flair for the sporty side.
Not only is the sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series larger than previous generations, it's also faster. The 2012 model is also lighter than the models preceding it, with more optional features, too, including a hybrid variant and cameras at all corners for parking assistance.
The 2012 BMW 3 Series is approximately 3.7 inches longer than the model it replaced. It also rides on a wheelbase that is two inches longer and has wider front and rear tracks. The expanded wheelbase allows for added backseat space with more legroom. Yet, in spite of the car's increase in size, the 2012 3 Series somehow manages to weigh 88 pounds less than the previous generation, which was known internally as the E90.
Stylistically, the F30 is very similar to the E90 with only slight modifications. The car's front end is pulled back a little tighter and the headlights are stretched toward the distinct kidney-shaped grilles. Optional xenon headlamps are available, and models that are equipped with them also feature LED "eyebrows" that fit over the headlights.
Mechanically, the car also has some new features and options. The new 3 Series is available with two different turbocharged engines, depending on the model. The 328i model features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder twin-turbo engine, while the 335i features a turbocharged six-cylinder. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder that's used in the 328i is the same one that powers the BMW Z4 sDrive28i. It's capable of generating 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It can also make it from 0-60 in an impressive 5.7 seconds. The turbo six in the 335i, on the other hand, produces 300 hp, 300 pound-feet of torque, and can hit 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds. Both engines come with a standard six-speed manual transmission and have an optional eight-speed automatic available. First-run editions of the car will be equipped with rear wheel drive; while there are plans to introduce all-wheel drive versions in mid-2012.
While trim levels are not something BMW is known for offering, the sixth generation 3 Series will be available in three different lines beyond the base model: Sport, Luxury, and Modern. Sport line models feature glossy black exterior trim, black chrome exhaust tips, and black and red interior accents. The speed limiter on the Sport model has been raised to 155 mph.
The Luxury model feature chrome exterior trim, glossy wood and inlays in the interior and finely stitched leather seats. The Modern edition features satin aluminum rim, a lighter dash, and leather seats that come in black as well as white.
Third generation versions of the 3 Series date from the years 1992 through 1996. These were considered among the best cars from that era that combined luxury with performance. Body styles available in the third generation included sedans, hatchbacks, coupes, and convertibles. Engine options included a 1.8-liter four-cylinder, a mid-range 170-horsepower inline-6, and a six-cylinder that could generate 190 horsepower.
The fourth generation of the 3 Series, also known as the E46, was highly regarded and available in body styles that included coupe, convertible, and wagon models. Like the third generation, cars belonging to the E46 generation were regarded as being top of their class. The fourth generation spanned the years from 1998 through 2005.
The fifth and most recent generation of the 3 Series, also known as E90, was available as sedans and wagons. Model designations for the fifth generation were the 325i and 330i. The 325i was powered by a 215-hp 3.0-liter inline V-6 while the 330i featured the same engine increased to 255-hp. The fifth generation was introduced in 2006, and the following year BMW made redesigned coupes and convertible versions available.

Great Google Review of Kids Dental - "If they accepted adult patients, you would find me in one of their chairs"
- on Google
My kiddos have been to this location several times and love it! Is dental work expensive? Yes. So, obviously depending on your insurance coverage, you may have to pay out of pocket for certain services. What matters most to me is the experience my children receive. The staff is helpful, kid friendly and seem to really enjoy what they do! If they accepted adult patients, you would find me in one of their chairs :)
Awesome New 5-Star Yelp Review for Dr. Holt and Staff of KidsDental
Fantastic New 5-Star InsiderPages Review for KidsDental and Dr. Jeffrey D. Holt
- on InsiderPages
I cannot say enough positive comments about Dr. Holt and his staff!!! I left with more than adequate information regarding my 5 year old and the health of her teeth. In fact, I didn't realize this kind of service was available because I've never experienced it before! If you're looking for a pediatric dentist you can trust, look no further.

FINANCIAL AID » Online Education » Loans
What Is A Student Loan?
A student loan is an award of financial aid for which the lender will have to be paid back. Some loans are subsidized, meaning the federal government pays the interest that accrues on the loan from the date of disbursement until the loan enters repayment status. Other loans are unsubsidized, meaning you will be responsible to pay all interest that accrues on the loan from the date of disbursement until it is paid in full. You can choose to pay the interest while you are in school or defer it until after you graduate.
You may need to carefully consider taking out a loan to help pay the costs of your education. View the BBC Lending Code of Conduct here.
As of July 1, 2010, Baptist Bible College began participating in the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. As a result we process all Stafford Subsidized, Unsubsidized Stafford and the PLUS Loans through the Department of Education. All loans processed through the Direct Loan Program will be serviced by the Department of Education and the loans will be guaranteed by the Department of Treasury.
What Does A Student Need To Do To Obtain A Federal Direct Stafford Loan?
All new students will need to follow these steps to obtain a Federal Direct Stafford Loan:
New students should complete the Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note by August 1 of each academic year - prior to coming to BBC for the fall semester.
Returning students will need to fill out the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Request Form and submit it to the Office of Student Financial Services.
Parents applying for the Federal PLUS Loan will need to submit the PLUS Loan Request Form to the office of Student Financial Services.
What are the 2013-2014 interest and fees?
Federal Direct Stafford Subsidized Loans have an interest rate of 3.86% and a fee of 1.072%.
Federal Direct Stafford Unsubsidized loans have an interest rate of 3.86% and a fee of 1.072%.
Federal Direct PLUS Loans have an interest rate of 6.41% and a fee of 4.088%.

**Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Federal Stafford Loan – Undergraduate Students
The amount of Stafford loan money that a student may receive in a year depends on what year of school they are in. The base amount for which you are eligible in a given academic year may include either, or both, subsidized and unsubsidized amounts depending on your calculated need. For instance, if you are eligible (based on the FAFSA's Expected Family Contribution [EFC] calculation) for a $4,500 Federal Direct Stafford Subsidized loan during your sophomore year, you may also take a $2,000 unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford loan during the same year for a total of $6,500 to bring you to the maximum base amount. In addition to the base amount, independent undergraduates may request an additional $4000 unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford loan, as shown above.
Federal Direct Stafford Loans are subject to a 1.072% origination fee. The amount of money actually received by BBC and disbursed to your account will be 1.072%less than the amount borrowed. For example, if you borrow the amount of $3,500, the actual amount disbursed to your account would be $3,462.00.
*Undergraduate dependent students whose parents have been denied a Federal PLUS Loan are also eligible for the additional unsubsidized loan amounts.
Click here to download the Federal Direct Stafford Loan Request Form (2013-2013)
Parent's Plus Loans
Parents may apply for the Federal Direct PLUS Loan during the years that their student is eligible for federal aid. The Federal Direct PLUS Loans are subject to a 4.288% origination fee as stated in the Borrower's Rights and Responsibilities Statement of the MPN (Master Promissory Note). Therefore, the amount of a Federal Direct PLUS Loan that is actually disbursed onto a student's account will be 2.5% less than what was originally requested. For example: If you choose to borrow $5,000, the actual amount disbursed to your account would be $4786. Click here to download the Federal Direct PLUS Loan Form.
Federal Stafford Loan – Graduate Students
The amount of Stafford Loan money a student may receive in a year depends on FAFSA results and the cost of attendance (based on enrollment status, such as full-time vs. half-time).
|School Level
|Stafford Loan Base Amount
|Additional Unsubsidized Loan Amount
|Graduate Level
The base amount for which you are eligible in a given academic year may include either or both subsidized and unsubsidized amounts, depending on your calculated need. For instance, if you are eligible (based on the FAFSA's EFC calculation) for a $2,000 subsidized Stafford Loan, you may also take a $6,500 unsubsidized Stafford Loan during the same year, for a total of $8,500 to bring you to the maximum base amount.
Stafford Loans are subject to a 1.072% origination fee. The amount of money actually received by BBC and disbursed to your account will be 1.072% less than the amount borrowed. For example, if you borrow a Stafford Loan in the amount of $8,500, the actual amount disbursed to your account would be $8,409.00

Alternative Loans
Alternative loans are private loans (not part of the federal government programs) that are obtained through a lending institution. Though BBC makes every effort to ensure lenders on our list provide the least expensive loans and best service possible, students and parents have the right and ability to select the lender of their choice, regardless of our suggested lender list.

Oil holds near 2-1/2 year highs on Libya revolt
Posted By kurtnimmo On February 22, 2011 @ 2:18 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
February 22, 2011
Oil prices held firm near 2-1/2 year highs on Tuesday as the revolt in Libya disrupted more supplies, but there was no repeat of Monday's spike as both OPEC and the IEA said they could help meet any shortage.
Turmoil in Libya drove prices as much as 6 percent higher in the previous session, taking Brent crude in London to almost $109 a barrel for the first time since 2008.
In a defiant speech on Tuesday, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi refused to step aside on Tuesday and threatened tougher action against protests, as rebel troops said eastern regions, including major oilfields, had broken free from his rule.

For the past few weeks, we've been hard at work on our first major release of 2013, Circa News 1.1. We've introduced some new features in previous versions, as well as tackled some bug fixes, but 1.1 is our first major post-launch release and we couldn't be more excited. Circa News 1.1 should be available in the App Store within a matter of hours. Here's some of the things that we've been busy with:
We've gone over every pixel with a fine toothed comb. The entire app's design has been cleaned up and we think it looks great! Below is a series of screenshots depicting some of the changes we've made.
It's a bit subtle of a change, but we've parted ways with our good friend Livory as the typeface we use within the app. Livory is a beautiful font (in fact, it's the basis of the Circa logo), but not the most readable when it's smaller. It also tends to be a bit overly decorative. With 1.1, we've replaced Livory with Meta Serif OT and the result has been fantastic. Not only is it a far more readable font, but it's also a bit more compressed, so overall readability and speed improve with this change. One other subtle change is that we've removed Helvetica Neue (the default Apple font in iOS) and replaced it with Adobe's beautiful typeface called Source Sans Pro.
We've also cleaned up the design of the category menu quite a bit as you see above. This change is to make room for further plans we have for the menu.
Another big change we've made to the interface is replacing our previous "featured story" with a carousel-like marquee. It's a small but important change – this new design allows us to promote multiple stories at once. This is important for whenever there may be multiple big stories in the course of a day. Or perhaps there's a story that's big, but might occur over multiple days – the previous design didn't allow for this, so we came up with a better solution. We'll now be able to feature anywhere from just one to many stories at once. To top things off, it also really showcases some of the beautiful imagery we use for our stories.
This has been one of our most-requested features. Initially with our 1.0 we focused on pure social sharing, but it seems that quite a lot of people would still like to privately share stories they might find interesting. We listened, and now we're delivering on our promise.
In previous versions of the app, it was sometimes hard to tell when it was refreshing. In addition to making the refresh experience faster, we've moved away from the refresh button and added pull to refresh, as well as an indicator to know when the app is refreshing if you just happen to be opening it. This may seem like a small update, but a lot of work went into making the refresh time less. For those that are curious and looking for the technical answer, we've consolidated what was previously a lot of calls to our servers upon refresh, to just a handful. This dramatically reduced the load time.
Simple and just as it sounds – readers wanted a way to navigate back to the main story list without having to hit the "back" button. Thus, we added a simple gesture that allows you to swipe right on the screen and move back to the story list. While hidden gestures can sometimes be frustrating, we've found this one to be fairly intuitive and are happy with the result.
Our readers have shown us just how much they love following stories (a lot), but we also needed some better ways to manage the stories once you've followed them. Thus, we've added the ability to mass-mark unread story updates as read, as well as easily swipe in the "My Followed Story" list to unfollow them.
First things first, we've worked very hard to make the app run better/faster in general. We've dramatically reduced the time that it takes to refresh the app, which has been a big improvement. One other change we've made is in how the app handles images – we now use just one image for the thumbnail, and story image preview. This has shown to be a massive improvement in load times of story images throughout the app. Overall our work still isn't done here – we'll keep pushing forward to make the app function, as well as refresh, much faster.
We want to be as accommodating as possible with readers that would like to check out Circa. As such, we've begun to implement accessibility features that will allow readers with alternative needs when navigating and reading. We've got a way to go before the app is fully accessible, but with each update we'll do as much as we can.
Lastly, we've done some work to reduce the footprint of the app as far as sheer file size is concerned. Additionally, we've reduced the cache size that the app uses to store images. This should have a positive impact when the app backs up to a computer or iCloud.
We're just a few weeks in to 2013, but we have a whole lot of amazing plans for where we're taking Circa this year. We're already hard at work on some amazing new updates past 1.1 and can't wait to get them to you.
In the meantime, if you've got any additional thoughts or feedback on 1.1 and beyond, please write us a note to support [at] cir.ca. Thanks!

October 9, 2015
Burlington Northern trains were stopped at a crossing after a woman's car got stuck on the tracks in Waverly.
About 12:30 Saturday morning, a call came in that a car was stuck on the tracks at 141st and Hwy 6; the main intersection in Waverly.
Lancaster County Deputies arrived within minutes and quickly asked that all train traffic be stopped in the area so the car wouldn't be hit.
Burlington Northern Police said the tracks are usually inspected after an incident like this; before trains are allowed to use that section of track.
No one at the scene offered any explanation why the driver may have turned onto the tracks.
One eastbound train was waiting near the crossing for about two and a half hours before it was cleared.
Sheriff's Sergeant Derrick Horalek said the driver is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol but this was not confirmed when we spoke to him.
The car was towed away.
