Elite University Scholarships
Apr 25, 2008
Many intelligent, talented and hard-working students, ones who have the know-how and determination necessary to succeed at top universities, feel that finances are holding them back from the education they dream about. With the annual costs of Harvard estimated at $34,000, Duke $35,000 and Columbia $37,000, it's no wonder that students shy away from just the though of prestigious schools. When one considers tuition, a troublesome economy and the weary prospects of student lenders, high school dreams become just that.
However, students are often unaware that many of the best financial aid packages are available to those who plan to attend the most impressive (and expensive) schools. Cream of the crop universities know that many cannot afford their high costs. To avoid missing out on a diverse student body—one that can contribute to academics and cultural perspective—they offer very generous financial aid packages. Elite schools often cut tuition by the thousands, if only students knew that.
If you have high hopes about attending an elite college or university, don't give up before you start. Instead, become educated about your financial aid options. Check out university websites, conduct a free scholarship search and take a look at the hefty financial aid options below.
In the ongoing Ivy League battle for the most promising students, Stanford has once again increased the size of undergraduate financial aid packages. Students whose parents make less than $60,000 will soon be attending the school for free—no tuition, no room and board, no additional expenses. Those whose parents make between $60,000 and $100,000 will have their tuition paid for but will be expected to cover other expenses. Unfortunately for those whose parents make more than that, tuition will increase this year.
Like Stanford, Harvard has already eliminated contribution requirements for students whose household income is lower than $60,000 per year. But that's not all; they have also upped financial aid for to the less needy. Students whose parents make between $60,000 and $120,000 will be expected to pay no more than 10 percent of estimated college costs and those making between $120,000 and $180,000 will be expected to pay 10 percent.
Students who apply to Duke are automatically considered for one of Duke University's Merit Scholarships. A number of awards are granted, and they can be quite generous. Students who are selected for the Angier B. Duke Memorial Scholarship, for example, can win full tuition for four years, a spot at a Duke/Oxford College summer program in England, a $2,500 stipend for expenses and a President Research Fellowship of up to $5,000.
Northwestern University Scholarships
Northwestern University gives away more than $50 million annually to helps undergraduate students meet the financial costs of this private university. All awards are based on financial need and funding availability. About 50 percent of students receive university aid packages which range in size from $250 to $33,000 (with $15,000 being the average).
University of Chicago College Honor Scholarship
Twenty undergraduate students attending the University of Chicago will be awarded the College Honor Scholarship—an award that covers full tuition for all four years. To be considered for this award, students should check the scholarship box upon filling out their college application. The awards are merit-based so students who have an exceptional academic record will be the ones rewarded.
Going to college doesn't have to break the bank or saddle you with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt.

Free Online Books---What's the Catch?
Apr 24, 2008
As far as we know, there isn't one. Let's begin by addressing your first question: if there is no catch, who's paying for this, and what's their work incentive? The answer is FlatWorld, and, if things go right for the new company, guidebooks, work materials and requests for in-print versions will be sufficient to cover labor costs and to generate profits.
Since 2007, FlatWorld has been crafting their innovative idea, and it plans to make services available to the public by 2009. The diversity of their textbook selections and the facility of their use will largely determine the success of their new venture, but students aware of FlatWorld will probably, at the very least, check out their site. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the average college student spends over $900 on textbooks—annually. Being able to pocket a good chunk of that money will significantly alleviate financial burdens caused by increasing college rates.
Electronic book versions are not exactly new, and companies less geared towards college students dealing with unregulated textbook costs have already offered similar services. Electronic books in general are growing in popularity, especially the fee-based ones. If you've done some Amazon shopping or people watched on the train in recent months, you're probably familiar with the new Amazon electronic reading device. It's catching on quickly, but, truth be told, there's just something about physically holding a piece paper. As much as I love branches, I couldn't help but print out class articles en masse during finals week, ones I could have easily browsed online. (In my defense, I did fit four pages on one sheet.) The ability to quickly scribble a note, double star a sentence or circle a key word just makes the learning process more interactive and complete.
Still, I'm willing to bet that dishing out $120 for a textbook that can't be resold due to future edition changes can make a little inconvenience worthwhile. Most money management tactics can. And FlatWorld is doing its best to make up in ease what they lose in "that special something". By making their texts editable to both students and the professors who assign them, they have made their options a bit more user friendly and appealing. Readers can even interact with each other during the reading process—I smell an attractive cliff note opportunity. Dragging your desktop to the quad may be a bit of a pain, but being able to afford vacation time may give you an incentive.
And remember, there's no need to rely on expensive student loan options to pay for your college education. For more information on finding free scholarship money for college, conduct a Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today, then apply and win! It's that easy!

In an anticipated statement outlining potential changes to the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the Department of Education Secretary Margaret Spellings announced new plans to amend the act. Key improvements included the standardization of graduation rate calculations and the heightening of awareness about family tutoring and school transfer options.
Based on current regulations, states are permitted to define not only their benchmarks for academic success, but also the methods for determining their high school graduation rates. The problem with this approach became particularly evident after a study comparing graduation gaps between major cities and suburbs suggested that numerous states fared much worse than their graduation data suggested.
Under the secretary's new plan, all high schools would have to determine graduation rates by dividing the total number of high school senior graduates by the number of freshman who began four years earlier, with adjustments made for transfer students. Students who took extra years to finish would not be considered to have successfully completed the program, indicated a Los Angeles Times article covering the story. The issue of assisting students attending "at risk" schools was also tackled, with the Secretary proposing an increase in efforts made to inform parents about alternative scholastic options for their children. Students who attend such schools have the option to switch to a more successful district school and additional tutoring opportunities should be made available to them. To address the problem of transportation costs to new schools, Margaret Spellings suggested that funding set aside for that purpose be increased.
In regards to the frequent requests for flexibility in measuring the progress of students with disabilities and those with limited English skills, the Secretary of Education stated, "the Department promulgated regulations to permit States to include in their AYP [Annual Yearly Progress] determinations the proficient and advanced scores of students with disabilities assessed based on alternate and modified academic achievement standards, as well as regulations that provide flexibility in the assessment of, and accountability for, recently arrived and former LEP [Limited English Proficiency]students."
The official version of this statement will be made available today in the Federal Register, and the public will have 60 days to respond before proceedings move forward.
As the NCLB primarily affects students, Scholarships.com has created an opportunity for them to voice their opinions about its effectiveness. In the 2008 Scholarships.com Resolve to Evolve Essay Scholarship, high school seniors were asked to determine and elaborate on why the NCLB has or has not been successful in reaching its goals. The number and quality of responses were nothing short of impressive. Winners of the annual Resolve to Evolve competition will be announced on June 30, and their essays will be made available to the public. Top responses will also be forwarded to the proper officials in the hope that we too can be a part of the solution.
And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans. Visit the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today where you'll get matched with countless scholarships and grants for which you qualify, then apply and win! It's that easy!

To alleviate the affects of the intensifying credit crunch, Sallie Mae has been lobbying for government assistance. In past months, student lenders have been struggling to find buyers for both their loans and their loan securities. Sallie Mae, the largest student lender in the business, has turned to the government for assistance, asking that the US Treasury assuage loan market tensions by purchasing their securities.
In yesterday's PBS Nightly Business Report, specialty finance analyst Sameer Gokhale and student loan expert Tom Stanton weighed in on the potential effects of such a move. According to Sameer Gokhale, a quick infusion of cash from the Treasury would, "help all of those lenders and ultimately result in a smoother flow of capital back into the student loan system."
Tom Stanton took a different approach claiming that federal intervention was not yet necessary. "In its last year as a government sponsored enterprise, Sallie Mae made something like 73 percent return on equity, a very generous return. There's no need at this point to go back to the government and get support," he stated.
Even if student lenders continue to drop out of the government's FFEL program and assistance such as that requested by Sallie Mae is not offered by the Treasury, students will have federal student aid resources to rely on. A Department of Education lender of last resort measure wherein the government would act as a lender to students denied loans by other lenders would prevent financial catastrophe, but according to the Nightly Business Report Correspondent Stephanie Dhue, resorting to such a plan would be more time consuming than enhancing funds for the one already in place.
The lender of last resort is yet untested, and, although details are being addressed by Congress, setting up the new program could be painstaking for schools. However, with the Chronicle of Higher Education citing more than fifty FFEL student lender departures, the program may be put into action regardless.

Bill to Aid Lenders Passed by House
Apr 18, 2008
On Thursday, the US House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at halting the mass leave of student lenders from the federal loan program. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, more than 50 lenders have left the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program to date. The growing departure has left families fearing that students will have no one to turn to for financial assistance once their Pell Grants and savings run dry.
To lessen the plight of FFEL lenders and students who depend on them for financial assistance, the bill would allow the Secretary of Education to purchase loans student lenders were not able to sell to investors. By pouring money into the loan market, the Department of Education would enable student lenders to use their capital for issuing new loans rather than paying out the original ones.
The new bill also addressed the lender of last resort, an emergency plan wherein guaranty agencies would be forced to lend money to students who were turned away by other lenders. Under the new plan, the Department of Education would have permission to advance funding to the agencies if need should arise.
To make the transition from the FFEL to the lender of last resort loan program easier on students, loans would be petitioned for on a college by college basis rather than a student by student one. Based on previous outlines of the untested program, students in need of a lender of last resort loan would have had to seek permission from the Department of Education and prove that at least two lenders had turned them down before receiving money.
A bill similar to the House version was introduced but not yet addressed by the Senate. Before the ideas are implemented, both the House and the Senate will have to iron out differences and send the final version to the president for approval.

Nervous about economic turmoil and the uncertainty associated with oversized college loans, students are increasingly turning to community colleges for a low-cost alternative to a postsecondary education. Though certainly lower in cost, some students still need assistance in affording local schools. According to a recent study conducted by the Project on Student Debt, federal loans are not always an option for these students.
Based on the report, 20 percent of community college students living in eight states do not have access to low-interest federal loans. In Georgia, the state which fared worst, about 60 percent of community colleges did not participate in the federal loan program. Throughout the nation, the problem was most severe in low-income areas where students were most likely to seek out federal student aid in the form of loans.
After interviewing administrators at nonparticipating schools, it was found that the most cited reason for not taking part in the program was a fear that high default rates would lead to sanctions on Pell Grant disbursements to students. According to federal regulations, colleges with student default rates that exceed 25 percent for three consecutive years lose the ability to disburse the Pell Grant, a form of need-based federal aid that does not need to be repaid.
Capped at $4,310 for the 2007-2008 school year, the Pell Grant frequently suffices in making community college an option for students, especially those who work while attending school. However, the size of the grant is based on a student's Expect Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by information provided on one's FAFSA, and many complain that the form does not take into account special circumstances that could result in a student's inability to contribute the full expected amount. Families who receive no federal assistance in the form of a Pell Grant and those who receive an insufficient amount may be forced to take out more expensive private loans to attend. If ineligible, they may have to work until college is an affordable option.

Full Tuition Scholarships
Apr 15, 2008
Applying for a number of small scholarships is a great way to accumulate financial aid for college, but some students prefer to go straight for the big fish. Rather than follow the, "a penny saved is a penny earned" mantra, they prefer to abide by the, "go for the gold" one.
Whether you are the former or the latter, plenty of scholarship opportunities are available to you. But be advised, the bigger the award, the bigger the competition. Students who find information about a big-ticket scholarship frequently opt for that rather than spend time on one which, in comparison, looks like a conciliatory prize.
If you're looking for top awards, check out the full ride scholarships listed below. For more information about college scholarships and grants you may be eligible to receive, try conducting a free college scholarship search. If you are looking for full tuition scholarships granted by your current or future college or university---most award a handful of them--- try visiting their financial aid office websites.

College Fellowships
Apr 14, 2008
Because graduate and professional school students are no longer eligible for Pell Grants, they must search elsewhere for financial assistance. A common option is the fellowship--a financial aid opportunity created to help graduate students obtain their degree.
Master, doctoral and professional school candidates who demonstrate both merit and dedication are the most common recipients of fellowships. When searching for this type of aid, students are unlikely to come across awards that mirror the goofy, unusual duck tape outfit or left-handed student scholarships. More often than not, fellowships are geared towards students who are serious about their work—ones who display resolve and passion in their respective fields. They are commonly awarded to individuals who plan to conduct research in a certain field or to ones who plan to begin a career in a subject designated by the fellowship provider.
Below are a few examples of fellowship opportunities you may be eligible to receive. Many awards are conferred annually, so check back for updated deadlines. For additional information about financial aid options, try conducting a free college scholarship search.
The foundation previously known as the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) is awarding fellowships in the amounts of $2,000, $2,500 and $3,000 to students who conduct research directly related to grain-based food science or technology. Students must be pursuing an MS or Ph.D. degree to be eligible.
Department of Homeland Security Fellowship
Tuition, fees and a stipend of $2,300 per month for 12 months will be awarded to graduate students whose thesis deals with science, technology, engineering or math as they relate to homeland security. Applicants must be US citizens and must have a minimum 3.3 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Richard Morris Hunt Fellowship
Architects pursuing a career in historic preservation may be eligible to win $25,000 in stipend money. Winners from France and the US will practice preservation technologies in each other's countries over a six month span.
Fellowship for Minority Doctoral Students
The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) will award fellowships to minority doctoral students who display potential for becoming accounting educators. Renewable fellowships of up to $12,000 will be given away each year.
Students working towards a doctoral degree in the humanities and attending one of the 23 leading independent research universities in the U.S., Great Britain or Ireland may be eligible to receive a fellowship of up to $50,000. History, philosophy, literature, languages and the fine arts are among eligible fields

The 'Runny Nose' That Isn't 'Just a Cold'
December 5, 2013
YOU CALL them puppy mills and we call them puppy farms but whatever we choose to call them they are places to be despised. Looking back through our archive we have been writing on the issues for years but for some reason no one seems to grasp the nettle and take steps to regulate or even outlaw them.
THIS might make me sound sad but most mornings, when I wake up, I reach for my phone and have a look at what has been going on overnight, I look at emails, at Facebook and I usually check the website statistics for dogworld UK And most mornings when I do check my phone there's not that much of interest and I put it down again within seconds but all that changed last Saturday! more

Ignite Phoenix #12 - The Dying: Not Just Patients, But Teachers
- Danielle Zeder
When people hear I enjoy Hospice nursing, they say "Oh my God, how can you do that, it's so depressing!" Actually, it is the complete opposite. People faced with their own mortality are usually the most insightful life teachers. Who better to absorb life's valuable lessons from than those who are facing the end of their own journey?
I am a Chicago native, Arizona transplant 4 years and running, married mother of 2 boys. I've been a Registered Nurse for 20 years (Jesus am I old), with the majority of my experience as a ICU Trauma nurse and Hospice Care, however I believe humor is the best remedy for anything in life. I never take my life too seriously people.

Just a quick update today, where we've been, where we're going, and how we're going to get there.
A futuristic, fast paced, first person grappling adventure!
Tension takes place in a futuristic facility where you are training to join a prominent, high-tech group that opposes a totalitarian government. You use a full body suit, imbued with a grappling hook, air-brakes, and jump jets to navigate obstacles and prove yourself worthy.
This fast paced urban race/puzzle game is sure to keep you interested and excited for more.

Hey all! Alex here, I know it's been a while since I've posted but this next feature I've been working on has taken quite a bit of time to get the proper infrastructure in place so here goes.
I've been working on implementing an online highscore system in for Tension to be used in time trial maps. This system would allow users to compare themselves to other players around the world and try and achieve recognition as top of the food chain.
Without further adieu here is an early screenshot of the post-game screen:
Name submission:
As you can see it will automatically retrieve the global times for the map you've completed, and clicking on any name in the list will show more detailed stats (steps, hooks and max speed).
If you've placed you can then submit the name of your choosing to the server and have it the envy of players everywhere, we are also actively looking into the option of allowing players to load "ghosts" of top players in game to view their route, or perhaps try a footprint/hook scheme similar to mirrors edge.
Or just let the player fend for themselves, since we've found that the most shall we say.. Creative (read: borderline cheating) solutions are found without prompting.
As always, comments and feedback are awesome!
Just a quick update today, where we've been, where we're going, and how we're going to get there.

Is it Mouse1 for grapple hook pull and Mouse2 for swing? I couldn't tell if there was one button for it or not.
One button, Mouse1 and hold for pull, Mouse1 and let go to swing, clicking again releases.
Right now Airbrakes is mapped to Mouse2, bringing the total needed keys to play the typical WASD, Space, Ctrl and Mouse.
when does it come out?

Rash of Burglaries Prompts Police Alert to Eagle Rock Residents
Posted By admin On May 2, 2013 @ 11:32 am In Bell Gardens Sun,City Terrace Comet,Commerce Comet,Crime,Eagle Rock,Eastside Sun,ELA Brooklyn Belvedere Comet,Mexican American Sun,Montebello Comet,Monterey Park Comet,News In Briefs,Northeast Sun,Vernon Sun,Wyvernwood Chronicle | No Comments
Los Angeles police are asking residents in Eagle Rock to be on the lookout for suspicious activities following a rash of residential burglaries between April 18 and 28th, and several car thefts during the same time frame.
Police say the residential burglaries have occurred at different times of the days, so people should remain vigilant at all times.
The auto thefts have been highest in the Eagle Rock and Colorado area, according to the LAPD alert. Burglaries are usually crimes of opportunity, so the best way to prevent them is "neighbors watching out for each other and reporting suspicious activity," police said.
They advised residents to "make it difficult for burglars" by keeping windows and doors securely locked, not giving them places to hide, like high hedges and fences, keeping lights on and not leaving valuable items in plain sight.

Welcome to the Land of Smiles and farewell to the land of nasty looks to parents who actually go out with their kids. This strange phenomenon in the West where some adults seem to have never been children does not exist in Thailand—childhood is a special time in a person's life for Thais, and kids are often treated like little princes and princesses. In other words, your kids will probably not want to leave this magical kingdom that seems to them like something out of a C. S. Lewis novel or movie.
Restaurants, food courts, and other Thai eateries will welcome your whole family with open arms, and many places now exist catering especially to families and their little ones. We note a few below for your consideration.
Given Thais great love for children, most restaurants will certainly be much more family- and kid-friendly than you're used to back home.

States Aim, Often Miss, for Armed Security in Schools
Follow @sarah_childressApril 10, 2013, 2:04 pm ET
Lawmakers in more than half of U.S. states have introduced legislation to allow guns in schools since the Newtown shooting.
Some would allow concealed carry firearms at elementary and high schools; others would arm teachers or other officials; while still others would follow the NRA's recommendation to install armed officers on school campuses, according to the National Conference of State Legislators, which has been tracking such measures.
Arming teachers and faculty or school officers are among the more frequently proposed pieces of gun legislation post-Newtown. While Congress has been mired in debate on guns, states have been taking up the fight, proposing more than 1,000 pieces of legislation since the shooting — about half that would expand gun rights, and half that would curtail them.
The school security bills haven't only been proposed in gun-friendly states: Washington, Oregon, Illinois and Maryland are also on the list. Only one state, Iowa, is considering a measure to ban guns on school property.
The state plans are similar to the National Rifle Association's school-shield plan, which it unveiled last week and calls for armed, trained security officers in schools. (You can read the NRA's full report here (pdf).) In a speech delivered a week after the Newtown shooting, NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre noted that the group had been calling for armed officers in schools as far back as the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007.
But only a few states have managed to pass such legislation, given opposition from educators wary about introducing guns in schools.
"We are deeply concerned about increasing the presence of guns on school grounds, which has never proven to be a deterrent," Dennis Van Roekel, president of the National Education Association, the major teacher's union, said in a statement. It also cited a poll of NEA members that found that 68 percent of educators opposed arming school employees.
So far, only four states have passed laws to expand allowances for guns in schools. Arkansas passed a law in February that allows staff and faculty to carry concealed handguns on college campuses (as well as in churches). In March, Virginia amended its ban on firearms in schools to allow armed security officers on private school grounds. Last week, Mississippi passed a bill that would establish a $5.5 million fund to help schools hire armed officers and, for those unable to meet the grant requirements, to arm teachers and faculty.
South Dakota was the first to pass such a law for elementary and high schools. It passed a law in March expanding its provisions for guns in schools. The measure rewrites the state law on gun-free zones in school to allow school boards to determine which employees, if any, can be allowed to carry firearms.
State Rep. Scott Craig, (R) started working on the legislation before Newtown to help schools defend against a potential terrorist attack. Because schools had been considered "gun-free zones," he worried that they might be targeted first.
Craig said the shooting in Connecticut only "confirmed the rightness of the bill," which he expects will be most effective as a deterrent. Of the 152 school districts in the state, only a few are likely to implement a new policy, he said, specifically those in rural areas where law enforcement can't immediately respond to a crisis.
"The concept behind the bill — and most people don't get this — simply passing the bill, not even implementing the program, means that there's knowledge — statewide, nationwide — that South Dakotans allow there to be an armed presence in schools."
He added, "Any would-be shooter knows that South Dakota's not where you'd go."

Seven Ways to Make 'Stargate Universe' the Best Show on TV
While the show certainly has plenty of admirable attributes, there's always room for improvement. So we decided to help out the cast and crew with a few ideas that will not only make 'Stargate Universe' better, but make it the best show on TV right now. We know it's a tall order, but we're up for it.
Check out our ideas after the jump.The latest installment of the 'Stargate' franchise, 'Stargate Universe,' seems to be faring well with viewers who have no history with the franchise, whereas longtime fans who started with the original 'Stargate' series and stuck with it through 'Stargate SG-1' and 'Stargate Atlantis' (as well as the many other videos and incarnations) are hoping for more.
While the show certainly has plenty of admirable attributes, there's always room for improvement. So we decided to help out the cast and crew with a few ideas that will not only make 'Stargate Universe' better, but make it the best show on TV right now. We know it's a tall order, but we're up for it.
1. Pick a direction. Is 'Stargate Universe' supposed to be dark like 'Battlestar Galactica'? Playful like 'Firefly'? Inventive like 'Doctor Who'? All of the above? The show seems to be all over the place in terms of both overall feel and storyline. One week they're dealing with nefarious swirling sands and the next it's a 'Predator'-type plot on a jungle planet. We realize that shows have to move fast to secure good ratings early on, but it needs a little more focus.
2. Make something happen. And yet, even though the stories are all over the place, 'SGU' manages to be all talk and no action. Yak, yak, yak, let's talk everything into the ground and never do anything exciting. It's like Woody Allen in space. Even the jungle planet episode ('Life') was lots of talk and not enough tension. 'Stargate Universe' meanders way too much; it's downright boring at times. You could nod off for an episode or two and not miss anything important. At least throw in an interesting alien or two.
Watch 'Stargate Universe' full episodes at SlashControl
3. Resolve something. We hate to keep picking on that jungle planet story, but that particular one left us, well ... unsatisfied. Unlike shows such as 'Fringe' or 'Lost,' we don't have any assurances that the long-term story will pick up these unresolved threads later on. What was the deadly virus? What the heck happened after the credits rolled and it seemed as if the entire crew would perish? And in case you're wondering, yes, we did watch the show. The time jumping was a little goofy.
4. Stop with the one-dimensional characters. The genius scientist with long hair and a sad past and no people skills (Robert Carlyle as Dr. Rush); the nerdy kid who cracks a code and ends up on the spaceship (David Blue as Eli Wallace); tough-guy military types with guns; strong silent guys in charge; gorgeous female crew members ... while there's nothing wrong with any of these characters, it's just all too pat. We realize that Nathan Fillion is busy with 'Castle,' but if you could create a character like Mal Reynolds -- or any of the crew onboard the Serenity, for that matter -- that would be super.
5. Up the realism factor. The ship is out of water, so they find a planet with plenty of water and everything will be alright. Really? They're going to transport enough water to keep the crew hydrated for who knows how long? You could drive a spaceship through some of the plot holes on 'SGU.' And let's not forget the implausibility of a massive ship that's been languishing in space for possibly thousands of years that has one day or so of air left when the crew gates in. And yes, we understand as Dr. Rush explained it, the Ancients were sent to meet the ship later, but achieved ascension and reached a higher plane of existence so were no longer around to meet the Destiny as planned. Yada, yada.
6. Do something new. So far, commenters on TV Squad's 'Stargate Universe' reviews have compared 'SGU' to 'Doctor Who,' 'Sliders,' 'Lost in Space,' 'Firefly,' 'Battlestar Galactica,' 'Star Trek' and just about every other sci-fi series known to humans. Let's face it, it's difficult to come up with anything new at this point, but we hope 'Stargate Universe' is up for the challenge. A lot of it boils down to the characters and how they interact with each other.
7. Cut the gratuitous sex scenes. There must be a memo circulating among producers of just about every show on TV to throw in an unnecessary sex scene every episode or two. 'Stargate Universe' climbed on that bandwagon in the very first episode. We're not prude, but if you're going to have a sex scene, make it count.
Sound off: Post your own ideas on how to make 'Stargate Universe' the best show on TV.

What Defines A Reputable Online Casino?
A reputable online casino doesn't just make good on payments, though obviously that's highly important. A reputable casino will also give players a fighting chance with high payout percentages and ample bonuses, both when a player registers and throughout the gaming experience.
One of the major complaints about online gambling is the pay cycle. People have been known to accuse online casinos of being disreputable because of not being paid immediately. There is a misconception that your pot will go immediately into your bank account. This isn't true.
Online casinos have a number of different payment cycles. The most common are credit and debit cards. A credit card can take as long as three weeks to be processed. A debit card is a much faster way of getting payment - around three business days.
There have been complaints regarding the payment cycle not being fast enough. People sometimes go to online casinos looking for quick money. They might have some bills to pay and are looking for a way to make payment. This is not advised but it has been known to happen. What they'll find is that the money isn't immediately available. These players will then accuse the casino of faulty practices, when in fact the casino has done nothing wrong.
A debit card is more risky being that the money is being taken directly from your bank account. However, it's advantageous for two reasons. Firstly, as mentioned, the payment cycle is faster. Secondly, the money is credited directly to and from your account. On some credit cards, a casino credit may be seen as a cash advance. This money will have a higher APR than a straight credit card purchase.
Again, this is not the casino's fault. It is up to the player to determine the fine print on his or her credit card and bank statement. The question shouldn't be when a casino makes a payment, but if.
If a casino does not make good on a payment three days, three weeks, or three months from now, then you do have recourse and can lodge a complaint. This is when it is vitally important to play at a casino with a strong customer support apparatus. If there's no telephone or email support, you could be left out to dry.
You also don't want a customer support operation that moves at a snail's pace: being put on hold for half the day or returning an email two weeks later. When starting an account with an online casino, you want to be sure you'll find help should a problem arise. This may never happen but you'll feel confident as you play should something go wrong.
The Gambling Commission
Remember that online gambling is overseen by a gambling commission in the site's host country. If you have a grievance with a particular site, you could contact the gambling commission which may be able to sort through the problem, perhaps even shutting down a site. Your best "bet," though, is to play at a site that has a good reputation for both fair games and fair payment.

Enough about the pretty boys on the offense.
It's time to shine the spotlight on the tough guys – the defenders.
The Packers have a couple of major battles going on with their defense – none bigger than one in the secondary. And it's there that we begin part three of our series:
Strong safety
Type of battle: Starting spot
Combatants: Atari Bigby (28 years old, 5-feet, 11-inches, 213 pounds, fifth year) and Morgan Burnett (21 years old, 6-feet, 1-inch, 209 pounds, rookie)
Thoughts: This and the Daryn Colledge/Jason Spitz left guard battle are the two biggest competitions to watch in camp. The only difference here is that one player is an experienced vet, while the other has yet to play a single NFL down.
While not an outstanding player, Bigby – who finally signed his one-year RFA tender Tuesday – is solid in certain facets of his game. He's normally pretty good against the run and has the potential to make big plays in pass coverage. There are two major drawbacks to Bigby's game, however: his tendency to get caught flat-footed in coverage and his inability to stay healthy. These have caused him to be simply an average player since his breakout 2007 season. At some point, you wonder how high a player's ceiling really is; we're nearing that point with Bigby.
If you read this site regularly – and I can't imagine why you wouldn't – you know how much I like Burnett. Even before the Pack traded up in round three to get him, I felt he was a great fit for this defense, due to his natural playmaking skills and knack for coming up with the big turnover. He showcased many of those skills in the minicamps/OTAs, working with the No. 1 defense in place of Bigby. That's invaluable experience heading into camp. He's also capable of delivering some big hits (just like Bigby). One thing that he'll need to correct is his tendency to gamble and reach for the big play when it isn't there. Still, of all the rookies on this team, he's the one I'm most excited to see.
Early Edge: Burnett. A rookie? Yes, he is. But his feet are already at least sort of wet. That, combined with an advantage in talent, gives him the nod over Bigby, a player who sat out the entire offseason in a miscalculated attempt to get a long-term deal.
Type of battle: Starting nickel and dime back spots
Combatants: Pat Lee (26 years old, 6-feet, 196 pounds, third year), Brandon "Crusin' Chubbies" Underwood (24 years old, 6-feet, 1-inch, 191 pounds, second year), Will Blackmon (25 years old, 6-feet, 210 pounds, fifth year), Josh Bell (25 years old, 5-feet, 11-inches, 177 pounds, third year) and Jarrett Bush (26 years old, 6-feet, 200 pounds, fifth year)
Thoughts: First thing's first: Al Harris will be placed on the PUP list. I'm sure of that. With the severity of his injury – plus his age and the fact that the team plays no real high-powered passing attacks over its first six games – it's truly the best decision. That doesn't mean Harris can't regain his old form, because he certainly can (and should).
But, if that's the case, that leaves openings for the nickel and dime corner spots. The Packers certainly don't have a lack of candidates, that's for sure.
It's been a tough first two seasons for Lee. Various injuries have limited him to just five regular season games. Granted, it can be hard to project things based on training camp practices/preseason games, but Lee did show some signs of ability there. The biggest thing Lee needs to show – outside of staying healthy, of course - is that he's able to fit in with the 3-4 scheme, one that employs both man-to-man and zone coverage. Remember, Lee was drafted in the second round in '08 as a bump-and-run specialist.
Mr. Chubbies himself, Underwood, has had just about the most up-and-down offseason imaginable. The ups came first as head coach Mike McCarthy couldn't say enough good things about the progression Underwood made during the minicamps/OTAs. Underwood – who had to transfer to Cincinnati from Ohio State due to academic issues/missing team meetings – then flashed his immaturity in astoundingly stupid fashion (see: the Wisconsin Dells incident). How much has that incident altered Underwood in the coaches eyes?
While he's listed as a safety on the team's roster, it sounds like Blackmon will be a corner/safety hybrid this season, able to provide depth at multiple spots. That means he could be in the mix. Blackmon has flashed some ability at the position (he's also a dangerous return man), but has also struggled with injuries. In fact, that's an understatement; he's missed 31 out of a possible 64 regular season games since entering the league. This is a make-or-break season for him. If he wants to continue in the league, he's got to avoid injuries.
Very little is known about Bell's abilities. After all, he played in only four games for the Packers last season, recording just three tackles (he also got beat on Nasty Ben's last-second touchdown pass in the Pittsburgh game). But he's stuck around this long, so the team must like him a least a little bit, right?
Last, and certainly least, we come to corner/safety/bain of my existence Bush. Once again I was certain he wouldn't last until camp…and once again I am disappointed. Bush brings a whole lot of nothing to the table (spare me the special teams stuff – he's not that good there, either). I'm really pulling for Blackmon to make a mark as a hybrid player. If that happens, Bush is gone as the team has no need for two corner/safeties. Fingers are crossed.
Early edge: If there's one area Ted Thompson may look to upgrade via a trade during camp, it's here. But seeing as how I can't predict that, I'll go with Underwood as the nickel and Lee as the dime. Does Underwood need to grow up? Without question. Also unquestionable is his talent. If he builds on his strong offseason, he's the most ready to take over the nickel spot. If Lee stays healthy – a massive "if", I'll admit – I think the dime job is his. The talent appears to be there. Blackmon could give him a run, but I think he will play the "sixth man" role for the secondary (an important role). Bell sticks as the sixth corner until Harris returns. Bush is cut. If I'm wrong on EVERYTHING else, please let me be right on this.
That's all for part three. The final part of our series will be up Friday.
Anyone else getting excited for this thing to finally tee off?

Due to unknown reasons, Pornhome where I hosted my old website Freya's Sexual transgender is now blocked by much of the internet security programmes out there.
I am not sure what the reason is for this, whether someone set up a website using pornhome which hosted illegal imagery or anything else but I can assure you it was nothing I myself hosted and it seems the entire of pornhome was blocked.
Recently a friend of the website found a way around the blocking of pornhome and in an email told me how to get around this.
So as to ensure I make no mistakes in relaying this information I shall copy and paste his instructions with his alredy given permission with only names removed.
If you follow the instructions below you should be able to visit the old site. You do so at your own risk though I am unaware of anything from the website that can harm your computer if you do so.
Yes, I noticed about the site being blocked as soon as I changed
antivirus software. But I may be able to suggest some tiny little bit of
help here.
The new version of the free Avast antivirus is probably the main
culprit. It blocks the entire pornhome.com domain at its "network
shield" level -- you never get to even open a connection to the site.
Temporarily disabling the network shield allows access. Unfortunately,
Avast provides no way to whitelist a site in the "network shield".
Interestingly, the Avast "web shield", which in fact does check all
files downloaded from the site, has no problem with any of the pornhome

Helpful article; there are so many hairsprays on the market making the same claims that is it nearly impossible to decide which to choose. I swear by Phyto haircare products, though - the shampoo and conditioner leave my hair so clean and fresh, and the styling products hold beautifully without weighing my hair down. It is liberating to feel your hair flow freely without worrying that movement will cause frizziness and dullness or simply mess your hair up.

Barack Obama, You Remind Me of Herbert Hoover

In a year when the government enacted one of its largest-ever stimulus bills, guaranteed hundreds of billions of dollars in bank debt, bought hundreds of billions more in mortgage-backed securities, took 60 percent ownership of one car company and put up billions in financing for another, it's not obvious why you'd dwell on an initiative that basically cost nothing.

December 28, 2009
The ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has provided Latin America with a revelatory moment.

So where was this superpower these past few months, as Honduras hung in the balance? More or less sitting on its hands. The fact is that the United States is no longer willing, or perhaps even able, to select who governs from Tegucigalpa, or anywhere else in the region for that matter.

Read this one by Binyamin Appelbaum and David Cho of The Washington Post. It's just a terrific piece of financial journalism for a popular audience. For what it's worth, I agree with Felix Salmon that there aren't any good alternatives to the Fed when it comes to regulating big banks. I also think the Fed acquitted itself reasonably well once the financial system melted down last year. And I can't think of a better person to rethink the Fed's approach to bank regulation than Dan Tarullo, whom Obama appointed to the Fed board. But boy did the Fed screw up in the run-up to the crisis.

feof - determine if the current position of a file is at the end
Calling Sequence
file name or file descriptor
feof returns true if and only if the end of a STREAM file has been reached during a readline, readbytes, or fscanf operation. Otherwise, feof returns false.
The end of file must actually have been encountered. For example, asking readbytes to read 20 bytes when only 19 remain in the file will result in a subsequent feof call returning true. On the other hand, reading the last line of a file with readline does not encounter the end of file; a subsequent call to readline will.
if a file name is given, and that file is not yet open, it is opened in READ mode with type BINARY.

Democratic Councilmember Leroy Comrie officially announced his run for Borough President on the steps of Queens Borough Hall, where he was surrounded by friends, family and supporters.
"Queens' future looks brighter every day," Comrie said on Monday. "We will seize this unique opportunity to use and build on the energy and vitality of our neighborhoods."
The City Council Deputy Majority Leader said that as Borough President, he would continue to build coalitions "because they work." He added that as proof of the success, he has supported affordable housing, made sure small businesses do not get fined for violations they are unaware of and expanded tax exemptions for the disabled and elderly.
"We have made great strides and as Borough President we will have an opportunity to expand our work throughout the borough," he said.
Supporters at the announcement included clergy leaders from around the borough as well as his wife Marcia Moxam Comrie and their two children, Liana and Benjamin.
Comrie was elected to represent the 27th Council District in 2001 and is currently chair of the Land Use Committee.

Thailand braced for huge demonstrations as protesters seek to bring down Government
Posted By admin On March 15, 2010 @ 4:59 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World News | Comments Disabled
Sian Powell, Wang Noi
Times Online
March 15, 2010
Up to 50,000 security personnel were deployed in and around Bangkok yesterday to prevent demonstrators paralysing the city this weekend and toppling the Government.
The regime is braced for unrest, and has prepared water cannon, sound-wave machines, teargas and batons in case protests turn violent. Government insiders say that there are also fears of gun and mortar attacks, and political leaders will be moved to a military command centre during the rallies.
Organisers are hoping to bring a million people on to the streets to protest against what they see as a regime — comprising a clique of military officers, allied with the "aristocracy" and the governing Democrat Party — that has unfairly brought down a series of populist governments, beginning with that of Thaksin Shinawatra, a former Prime Minister.

| Yours Truly at Friday's Skidmore Prize ceremony, kicking off WW' s 2007 Give!Guide.
IMAGE: dlreamer.com
At the same time, if you've been following the gloom-and-doom reports concerning our acquaintances on Southwest Broadway and in cities all over America, you might worry about our health. (Was it all that liquor and cigarette advertising we accepted?) Happily, WW' s story in 2007 is anything but a tale from the crypt. This has been a year of solid accomplishment, detailed below in a quickie chronology of our extracurricular activities, followed by a few numbers and concluding with a word about our role in the life of this remarkable place we love calling home.
April. Hundreds of you attend WW' s Longbaugh Film Festival, David Walker's paean to independent cinema. Along the way, we encounter one incredibly memorable film, Darius Goes West , and raise more than $3,000 for Darius' affliction, Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
June. Issue No. 3 of Finder hits the streets. WW' s annual guide to Portland has quickly become sought after by new arrivals and longtime residents alike. Later in the month, WW hosts the annual convention of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. Some 500 ink-stained wretches make the trip here—and are quickly seduced by Portland's great vibe.
August. WW' s annual Best of Portland issue gets us an afternoon at Pioneer Courthouse Square with Trail Blazer Greg Oden (we love him) and a fabulous party in our parking lot, replete with massive tent, local celebs, seemingly endless food and booze, and…Sexy Pants.
September. WW' s MusicfestNW draws thousands to Portland's largest annual celebration of indie music. Thanks to exec director Trevor Solomon's savvy booking—and your keen ears—this city has an amazing weekend, including tremendous free shows (thank you, Nike) and thousands of gratis cold treats from the itinerant Ice Cream Man. MFNW also provides contributions of $5,000 apiece to the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls and the Oregon Music Hall of Fame.
A couple weeks later, we launch our new look. When we last redesigned the paper in 1996, our operating principle was that readers are grazers who need to be drawn into stories. Eleven years later, we see you as busy multi-taskers for whom we need to make our stories easy to find and read in-depth. The fine, talented—and ever so patient—folks at Leopold Ketel (a special shout goes out here to Andrew Reed) guided us through this process as well as anyone could have.
Advertising sales. If 2007 concludes as we expect, this will be the paper's best year ever in display sales (from which we generate over 80 percent of our revenues). Sales will be up 7.6 percent over 2006. Even when adjusted for inflation (does anyone still remember the Roaring Nineties?), this will mark our best year ever. On the other hand, due largely to Craigslist, classified advertising sales have continued their decline, by about $115,000. In recent months, revenue in this area actually has experienced a modest upswing. Also: Effective Nov. 1, Craigslist started charging for employment ads. (Message to Mr. Newmark: Would you be kind enough to do the same for rentals?)
Circulation. While newspapers everywhere, including The Oregonian , continue to lose print audience, we've kept our distribution at 90,000 papers each week. For the year, returns (papers not picked up) have averaged 2.6 percent of the total, though that number has dropped closer to 2 percent since the redesign. More important, for the past year WW has had more 18- to 34-year-old Portland-area readers than The Oregonian 's Monday-Friday editions, including A&E . The count is 146,600 for WW to 125,700 for The O , according to the fall 2006 Media Audit and the daily's August 2006 report to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Look for 100 new blue WW boxes on Portland streets come January.
Web stats. WWire debuted one year ago, providing a regular flow of news, comment, audio and video on wweek.com. According to Google Analytics, over the past month (Oct. 10–Nov. 9) we had 146,465 "absolute unique visitors" who viewed 510,141 pages. That's 36,000 additional visitors and 155,000 more pageviews than at this time last year.
The Bottom Line. This year total revenues for WW should be around $6.25 million, a 4 or 5 percent increase over last year. Pre-tax profit should be in the range of 5 percent. As I've often said in this annual column, if WW were owned by a media conglomerate, co-owner Mark Zusman and I would have been relieved of our responsibilities long ago for unsatisfactory financial performance. Under our brand of management, WW spends well more than the typical weekly on editorial, production and printing. While we certainly could be a little more efficient, we feel it would seriously harm the culture of our operation to try to match national averages calling for profits two to three times greater than ours.
That would be you—all 402,500 print readers each month, plus Web viewers. Of course, I'm enormously proud of—and flat-out love working with—everyone here in our office. But all of us know without you WW would lose its reason for being.
Similarly, it's my sense you intuit the value of a local, independent press that is passionate about you and Portland. That's especially crucial at a time when the Bush administration's Federal Communications Commission is busy promoting greater concentration (including cross ownership of newspapers and electronic media) in an industry in which emphasis on return on capital—at the expense of intelligent, helpful journalism—increases in direct proportion to market share.
We view our role as that of catalyst—using tough-minded journalism, stylish writing, strong design, engaging public events and any other tool we can place at our disposal—to help you make Portland a better place in which to live, work and play.
This week's issue, for example, contains the fourth annual edition of WW' s Give!Guide, our effort to facilitate year-end giving. We simply could not make this work without terrific technical assistance and organizational support from dozens of you. On top of that, last year, 1,410 of you visited wweek.com/giveguide and contributed $228,000, as well as countless volunteer hours and much-needed supplies, to 37 worthy local nonprofits. With a little luck, this year even more of you will jump in.
Similarly, we could not perform WW' s core journalistic function at anywhere near our current level without your tips, suggestions, criticisms and encouragement. They come in emails, anonymous letters, casual social conversation, unannounced visits to the office and phone calls. Your continued interest and support keep us charged up and thoroughly engaged in what we do.
Thanks for another good year together,
[1] That's with the Reporter , a paper we bought in Santa Fe a little more than 10 years ago. Publisher Andy Dudzik, Editor Julia Goldberg, and Display Sales Manager Marcia Beverly produce an award-winning weekly and keep it in good financial health. We are incredibly proud of their work and thrilled to have fallen head over heels for them and the Reporter .
