The largest TV production ever made in Western Australia, "Ship to Shore," begins shooting April 5. Barron Films, that state's major producer, is making the 26-episode kids series, which is being sold overseas by ABC Intl. and Canadian-based agent Paragon Intl.Following two earlier deals, Barron Films' managing director Paul Barron has again managed to stitch together the unorthodox arrangement of pre-selling the show locally to two webs, Nine and the Australian Broadcasting Corp. (The ABC will benefit via use of facilities and some rights.) Almost all of the cast and crew will be West Australian; series overall will provide 60 jobs for almost a year. Another children's series, "Bay City," is also being made in Western Australia. Thirteen-episode offering is being produced by Nomad Films, and is pre-sold to U.K. outfit London Films. Costliest series And another first for Oz TV production has been announced by Nine: It has commissioned a 13-episode series, "The Man From Snowy River," which it claims is the most expensive of its kind. Budgeted at almost $ A11 million ($ 7.8 million), the series starts shooting March 29. It's a co-production between PRO Films and Northstar Entertainment Group in the United States, where it has been pre-sold to the Family Channel.

November 2, 2000
By Steven Hayward
Many voters across the nation are paying close attention to an
issue barely mentioned in the presidential debates: "urban sprawl."
Vice President Al Gore has endorsed plans to build more transit
lines and encourage "smart growth," and the Sierra Club is running
an $8 million ad campaign to support anti-sprawl candidates in key
congressional races.
But the concern over sprawl is more than a mere byproduct of
increased traffic jams or the loss of open space. It shows that
Americans have arrived at a defining moment, where growth is no
longer considered a visible sign of social progress but an enemy
that must be rolled back or at least stopped in its tracks.
To see the shift, try this experiment: Imagine you could bring
back the architects of FDR's New Deal policies. You show them a
photo of a new suburban neighborhood and explain that neighborhoods
like this are going up all over the country. You add that the
homeownership rate in America is near 70 percent - a rate few other
nations come close to matching - and that minorities are the
fastest-growing demographic group of new homeowners.
At this point, our reincarnated New Dealers would swell with
pride and say, "We did it. Our goal of expanding prosperity and
extending it to the working class worked." But you quickly correct
them: "Oh, no, you don't understand. This is called 'sprawl,' and
it's a huge source of controversy. Lots of people want to stop the
spread of suburban housing." Your New Dealers undoubtedly would be
And who could blame them? In the 1930s, growth was the soul of
policy and the challenge of each generation. How would you explain
to them, or even to an early Great Society liberal, the controversy
of this achievement? The answer can be found in an obscure 1976
book called "Social Limits to Growth" by British economist Fred
Hirsch was writing to refute errors in the then-new "Club of
Rome" report, which suggested that Western civilization was pushing
the physical limits of growth because of scarce resources,
increasing pollution and the fabled "population boom." But though
Hirsch disagreed, he did admit that middle-class people might come
to doubt the value of economic growth.
This change would occur, Hirsch said, when the link between
growth and personal well-being was broken. All of us naturally want
more income, more education and more luxuries. This used to mean
people were generally pro-growth - which meant, for example, that
we were happy to hear about a new factory going up across town. We
understood that growth would benefit all, even if we weren't
working at the new factory ourselves.
But at some point, that understanding would end, he said.
Growing traffic congestion would be one of the first causes of this
shift. "Once this growth brings mass consumption to the point where
it causes problems of congestion in the widest sense - bluntly,
where consumption of jobholding by others tends to crowd you out,"
Hirsch wrote, "then the key to personal welfare gain is again the
ability to stay ahead of the crowd" and oppose change.
If Hirsch is right - if the large scale and fast pace of change
is fueling opposition to sprawl - then even the "smart growth"
agenda is doomed. Its proponents think they can solve the sprawl
problem by getting Americans to live more densely in cities and
suburbs (which, given the population projections of the next 20
years, will be a real challenge). But if the mere scale of growth,
and not its particular form, is sprawl, then even "smart growth"
isn't the answer.
It's possible that certain smart-growth proposals, such as
consumer-oriented neo-traditional communities and the revival of
main street-style neighborhood centers, will cause some to drop
their opposition to "sprawl." But when people say they want growth
"controlled" or "managed," they might be using euphemisms meaning
they just want it to stop.
There could be a bright future for smart-growth plans that
emphasize individual choice and allow the marketplace to create
communities of character. But if smart growth merely results in
more social engineering, it's easy to predict that this attempt at
"suburban renewal" will be a failure as disastrous as that of urban
renewal 40 years ago.

Research Institute, is adapted from the Heritage Foundation

Santa Rosa City Schools suspends middle and high school students at a rate exceeded by only three other large districts in California.
Of the 4,587 suspensions in the 2011-12 school year — a rate of four for every 10 students — nearly 1,500 were for violence or drugs. Many of the cases involved repeat offenders.
Nearly three times as many Latinos were suspended than whites, even though the groups make up roughly equal portions of the student population in middle and high schools.
African-American students, who represent just 3 percent of the secondary enrollment, represented 7percent of the overall suspensions that year.
"This district has not been successful," said the district's first-year superintendent, Socorro Shiels. "We've got numbers that are too high."
District officials said the numbers reflect years of entrenched policy based largely on the concept of zero tolerance of misconduct. But that philosophy has come under fire by educators and youth advocates who contend that sending troubled kids home — away from an educational environment with little to no supervision and no connection to their misdeed — is misguided.
"There is nothing more consequential and difficult than sitting down with a person you have harmed and hearing how you have impacted them," said David Yusem, program manager for the restorative justice program at Oakland Unified School District. "It's much more difficult than going home and playing video games for a few days."
The state rankings of districts with more than 10,000 students show Santa Rosa's suspension rate is double that of Fresno Unified, three times greater than Oakland's and more than four times that of Compton's in Los Angeles County.
Only San Lorenzo Unified, Roseville and Vallejo had higher rates of suspensions in 2011-12, the most recent data available in state records.
"We are on a trajectory to nowhere," said Frank Pugh, who is the longest-serving district trustee, having been first elected in 1990. "This is not all rosy information, but information that we need to confront and see and understand."

LGBT People of Color Artists: Call for Art Submissions!
Basic Rights Oregon's Racial Justice and Alliance Building Program is soliciting submissions for our August 2013 art show highlighting Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People of Color (LGBT POC) artists!
LGBT POC Art Show Event: Evening of Friday August 9th at Black Cat Café,
3990 N Interstate, Portland, OR (All Ages Space / www.blackcatcafe.com)
"LGBT POC Artists on Racial Justice" is intended to be a multimedia show. We welcome submissions from artists across disciplines (including paintings, drawing, performance art, spoken word, written work, etc.). Additionally, we seek to recruit artists from a broad range of identities, including but not limited to, gender, race, sexual orientation, class, ability, and age. We also have $40 stipends in order to compensate selected artists who are featured in the show.
Art is a powerful avenue for telling our stories, for empowering one another, and for moving communities to action. As we continue our work toward racial justice, we hope to provide a platform for honest expression of our struggles, for us to share our visions for the future, and for us to celebrate each other's passion and creativity.
Art Proposal Submissions will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis until the submission deadline of Friday June 21st. We will not accept any Art Proposal Submissions for consideration beyond this date. Space cannot be guaranteed for all submissions. Please review the list of deadlines and the full parameters for the show listed below.

- Depending upon the content and length of the art piece, we may ask artists to shorten and/or edit their work in order for their work to be submitted and featured.
We unfortunately do not have room to showcase all artists who submit work.

ESRL Global Systems Division
FX-Net Weather Forecasting System Used for the 2004 Air Pollution Field Study
FX-Net was the primary weather forecasting system used for the collaborative New England Air Quality Study-Intercontinental Transport and Chemical Transformation (NEAQS-ITCT) 2004 conducted this summer. NOAA, NASA, and university participants in this experiment are a part of the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT). The study focused on air quality along the Eastern Seaboard and transport of North American emissions into the North Atlantic. Major NOAA assets, including two aircraft and the NOAA vessel Ronald H. Brown, were deployed.
The FX-Net program at the Forecast Systems Laboratory was established to develop a network-based meteorological workstation that provides access to basic display capability of an AWIPS workstation via the Internet. FX-Net provided the operations center of the NEAQS-ITCT with NWS weather forecast models, atmospheric observations, and operational and experimental air quality observations. The system supported deployment and flight track scheduling of the aircraft and the positioning of the ship during optimal observing situations. The system was also used to evaluate the experimental WRF/Chem forecast model.

Periodontal disease (also called "gum disease") is a chronic bacterial infection of the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It is caused by certain bacteria that are found on teeth and in the spaces between the teeth and gums. Diagnosing gum disease and getting appropriate treatment is important. Why? Because if left untreated, the disease can progress, which may lead to tooth loss. On top of that, mounting research continues to show that gum disease may have an effect on several serious health conditions. This means that having regular dental check-ups and any needed treatment for gum disease is important not only for your mouth, but for your overall well-being.
Don't Become A Statistic
Gum disease is the most significant dental disease affecting adults. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, "more than one in three people over age 30 have periodontitis (gum disease). And, by a conservative estimate, 35.7 million people in the United States have periodontitis."1 The good news is that it's treatable, and like many other health conditions, the earlier you diagnose and treat, the better the outcome.
Are You At Risk?
This tool is designed to help you and your dentist identify factors that might
increase your risk for gum disease. Take the quiz by clicking on the link below and share the results with your dentist at your next dental check-up.
Please note that this tool serves to provide a guideline as to your risk for
gum disease. It is possible to have this disease without obvious warning signs, which is why regular dental checkups are so important.

News: The Mets are Injured
The Mets are currently playing without Jose Reyes, Carlos Delgado, Oliver Perez, Ryan Church, and Carlos Beltran, all while Gary Sheffield continues to play with pain behind his knee, J.J. Putz has a bone spur in his elbow, and John Maine recovers from a stomach bug.
Last night, back-up infielder Ramon Martinez dislocated his left pinkie sliding in to home plate. He is scheduled to fly to New York today to be examined by doctors, Jerry Manuel told reporters last night.
By the way, Triple-A infielder Javier Valentin injured his shoulder last night in Buffalo, while Dillon Gee, Argenis Reyes, Carlos Muniz and Bobby Kielty remain on the minor-league disabled list.
In a post to Fan Fury, Pepper Duncan doctored up a Garbage Pail Kids card in honor of the injured Mets.
Never in a million years would I have guessed I'd some day see Fernando Martinez, Sheffield, Fernando Tatis, Omir Santos, Wilson Valdez and Jeremy Reed all in the starting lineup at the same time, like has often been the case in the week, during which the Mets have lost three of their last four games.
I have no idea how the Mets plan to handle the up-coming, potential transactions, since Reyes is eligible to return from the disabled list this Friday. Church is eligible to return Sunday, but, because he's dealing with a hamstring injury, my bet is the team gives him extra time.
Church and Reyes most likely would have been replaced Valdez and Ramon Martinez, leaving Fernando Martinez on the major-league roster, so long as Jerry Manuel can get him regular at bats.
From what I can gather, the Mets will look at the roster, look at the injuries and return dates for Reyes, Church and Beltran, and choose between promoting OF Cory Sullivan, who is on the 40–man roster, or Triple-A infielder Jonathan Malo, who is not on the 40–man roster, while being honest about potential playing time for Fernando Martinez.
However, instead of Malo, who would do more for the team's defense than offense, the Mets should also consider Triple-A OF Wily Mo Pena, who has a nine-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .333.
In other words, this is getting ridiculous – all while David Wright has just two hits in his last 25 at bats.

Poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
The song was about half-way through when a thought occurred--or maybe it was more like a feeling.
It's the start of the unofficial last week of summer and I suspect it's going to be rather quiet around here. It's a perfect time to introduce one of those half-baked notions that's probably interesting to no one but me.
I was driving somewhere in my car with the most recent album by the great Chicago musician and songwriter Andrew Bird on my iPod. Specifically, I was listening to a song called Imitosis:
And as I was listening, I had a vivid sensation: I would really like to write a story that's like an Andrew Bird song.
But after the thought had come and gone, I realized I had no idea what it meant. Bird's songs aren't really narratives. Clearly I was talking about tone. About style. But how does that tone and style translate from three-minute songs, which are immediate and sensual, to stories, which are immersive and intellectual. (As opposed to blog posts which, if this one is any guide, are pretentious and obtuse. Just stay with me a minute.)
I've spent more time thinking about this than I'd like to admit, and part of that is the fact that a central theme to my upcoming novel is the relationship different forms of art have to each other (and the relationship between art and nature and science, as well). And I know from talking with other writers that many of them also spend a lot of time thinking about the connection between music and literature.
I'll probably never get around to writing that story, but I'm curious if any of you think much about the relationship between music and literature. Are there novelists who remind you of certain musical artists or songwriters (or vice versa)? What music do you listen to when you write? Or do you hear a certain type of music when you read?
Have you ever wanted to write a story that was just like a specific song?
I'm doing some guest-blogging over at Radosh.net and have a post up over there about why newspaper and television reports always mention the Jaws of Life when covering an accident. It's not directly related to the stuff we usually write about here, but if you like reading about marketing and media, you might find it mildly interesting.

It's funny, but I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I was listening to a group called Blackbird playing a piece which ought to be watched instead of just heard--they apparently had a friend who's a ballet choreographer show them how to go in motion with the piece, so they race around the performance space playing notes on different instruments as they pass one another, and the melody and rhythmic line get picked up and transferred hand to hand. As I listened to them describe the process, it made me yearn to create story like that--and I can't say exactly what I mean, except the freedom, perhaps, letting the imagination soar, and having the chance to bring in many arts to make a piece whole.

I had an idea about a year ago that an excellent crime novel could be written based on several Delbert McClinton songs. I'll probably never have the time, and getting the rights might be a bear, but I still think there's a book--probably several--in his songs.
Johnny Cash's MURDER collection (from the three-disk set LOVE, GOD, MURDER) also has some great songs I'd live to capture the tone of.

Music is a huge influence on my writing. I have probably half a dozen stories that were either directly inspired by specific songs, including Sinatra's rendition of "Moonlight Serenade" (which also plays a key role in the story), Pinetop Seven's "Quit These Hills", and Silver Jews' "Smith & Jones Forever." And pretty soon I'm going to start writing a novella based on Morphine's swansong album "The Night." I don't listen to music as avidly as I used to, but all of it is firmly embedded in my brain.
When I write, the music I listen to has to be instrumental. Otherwise I end up singing along and forget the business at hand. It can be blues, jazz or pop, sometimes even classical---and sometimes I DO hum, but that's diffrent, right? When I read "The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie and Literary Society" I heard WWII songs in my head. When I read books set in Chicago, I usually hear the blues. If I could write a book about any song, Sweet Caroline by Diamond or Night Moves by Seger might tempt me.
- Libby Hellmann said...
The biggest challenge I've ever attempted was trying to translate the way The Blues make me feel into prose. That was really the inspiration for CHICAGO BLUES, btw. I don't know if we accomplished it -- the difference between the sensibility of the music, and the cerebral quality of the prose still seems like a chasm I can never cross. But it was fun trying.
- woodstock said...
I think the best music, and the most intriguing stories always should leave you wondering what came next. Leonard Cohen's SUZANNE has drafted dozens of scenarios in my head about who she is, who is the person speaking in the song, why is all this imagery meaningful?
Did Rick survive WWII? Was Isla ever happy after they parted?
And so on. Who is the mysterious ELISE Beethoven wrote his iconic piano piece for? How meticulously would JS Bach have worked to come up with the closing movement of the 2nd Brandenberg concerto?
Kevin - if you ever work out your book, let us know! I think it would be fascinating reading!
- Kevin Guilfoile said...
Thanks Woodstock.
Actually the book is done. I don't have a pub date yet, but I'm just finishing up a revision this week. I suspect it will be out next year sometime. It's called THE THOUSAND.
- Peter Jurmu - Creative Byline said...
Have you seen Before Sunset? At its outset, Ethan Hawke, who has recently published a novel, is doing an interview for journalists in a Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. One of them asks him what he wants his next book to be about, and he responds with the idea of an entire novel taking place over the course of a pop song: a man sits at a table in a cafe, watching his daughter spin to music, and suddenly he's transported back to the first time he ever heard that song, which was when he was sixteen and watching his high school sweetheart--long gone, of course--spin to the same song on top of the car. And the whole thing would be, presumably, a celebration of the rush of senses accompanying an unintended memory.
An interesting idea, but not the only way you can integrate music into your work. I recently began a novel (that I'm doing in orbit around my nine-to-five at a web-based manuscript revision/submission company called Creative Byline) building to a tragic denouement, so I'm pulling pensive, tonal energy--if that makes sense--from The National, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins' B-sides disc ("Judas-O"), Broken Social Scene, etc. I'm not explicitly writing ABOUT the music, or changing the structure of my writing to reflect the time structure (or signature?) of music, as Hawke was describing, but the emotions embodied in that music, which I think are universal, are particularly similar to the ones I'm exploring in the novel, and so the two have kind of a rapport in my daydreams.
- Michael Dymmoch said...
Andrew Bird is awesome! But I can't think when I'm listening to any music with lyrics. However, "Behind Blue Eyes" (The Who) did inspire the killer in The Feline Friendship.
Neil Jordan's The Dream of A Beast sounds kind of like what you're talking about, though it's more like poetry than music. It was a difficult read, but an experience I'll probably repeat.
- Connie said...
Thank you thank you thank you thank you for introducing me to Andrew Bird. I live on the other end of the state and had never heard of him.

What do political opposites Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) and Allen West (R-Fla.) have in common? They both dig a good premium smoke.
The lawmakers, with almost 200 colleagues from National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (Texas) to Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel (N.Y.) are backing a House bill that would block the government from regulating high-end cigars the way it does cigarettes.
The Food and Drug Administration, which currently regulates cigarettes and chewing tobacco, is poised to make cigars subject to a 2009 law that gave it power to oversee the sale of tobacco products.
Premium cigar companies and sellers worry that such regulations could require the producers of high-end cigars to include health warnings on packaging, force sellers to store cigars in separate rooms accessible only to employees, and bar shopkeepers from making sales over the phone or
recommending a particular product.
Theres a lot more that goes into purchasing a premium cigar than just a brand, said John Anderson, the owner of W. Curtis Draper Tobacconist, a 125-year-old cigar shop just blocks from the White House. Theres a romance to it.
With the guidance of a team of lobbyists from K&L Gates, Anderson helped lawmakers craft legislation to protect his industry. The bill, which now has 199 co-sponsors, seeks to exempt premium cigars from government regulation, defining them as unfiltered products, wrapped in leaf tobacco, that weigh more than
6 pounds for every 1,000 cigars. The International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retail Association has spent $240,000 on lobbying since the beginning of last year, according to Senate records.
Congress granted the FDA the authority to govern the sale and marketing of tobacco products in 2009 in an effort to curb teen smoking, but cigar producers and sellers argue that lawmakers did not intend to restrict luxury smokes. The expected ruling could come as early as this summer.
We dont want them to regulate premium cigars. We are the legislative branch and we determine that, said George Cecala, a spokesman for Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.), who introduced the bill last year. You have a number of people at the FDA who are bent at chipping away at peoples abilities to enjoy things.
The American Cancer Society, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and other anti-smoking groups are not pleased. The groups argue that the makers of inexpensive, flavored cigar-like products sold in convenience stores would use the legislation to dodge regulation.
We think it is not good public health policy to create an exemption for an entire category of tobacco products that cause cancer, said Gregg Haifley, a lobbyist for the American Cancer Societys Cancer Action Network.

The confounding ways race, class and genre intertwine on American movie screens emerge today in a story set in an affluent enclave on Long Island, where a self-made young man pursues the woman he loves, a seductive beauty of wealth, refinement and impeccable breeding.
No, it's not "The Great Gatsby." Instead, that synopsis sums up "Peeples," a low-middlebrow romantic comedy that playfully skewers the very pretension and lack of self-knowledge that sends "Gatsby" down its tragic spiral. The film stars frequent supporting player Craig Robinson as Wade, who forces his girlfriend, Grace (Kerry Washington), to introduce him to her prosperous, snobby family, whom he laughingly calls "the chocolate Kennedys."

CLAYTON Conducting a meticulous inspection, a trio of judges climbed into the hull of an 18-foot 1950 Century Vagabond docked on the St. Lawrence River outside the Antique Boat Museum on Saturday.
The three men, who traveled from Michigan, New Hampshire and Connecticut to volunteer at the 49th Antique Boat Show & Auction, relied on decades of experience as judges to determine how close these boats measure up to their factory condition. Century boats are featured this year at the show, which continues from 9 a.m. to noon today, its final day, at the museum, 750 Mary St.
Thousands attended the show Saturday to admire more than 100 antique boats displayed for the juried competition at bayside docks and sold during a live auction.
The Century boats will receive awards today in eight categories. The three judges were responsible for rating Century boats with inboard engines at the center of the hulls. The distinctive characteristic of Century boats is their massive motors, said judge Thomas O. Holmes, president of the Century Boat Club in Manistee, Mich., where the classic boats were manufactured.
Centuries had the latest, fastest engines in the 1950s and 60s, Mr. Holmes said. They were the first boat that could hold a Ford engine with a V8. If you had a Century, you would blow by all of the Chris-Craft boats that had putz-putz engines on the water. The Century was like a Cadillac, while the Chris- Craft was a slow Chevrolet. They also have chrome features and more style.
A sign on the mahogany Century boat said it was bought by Robert Miklos of Washington, Pa., on eBay in April 2007. It was the second of only seven 18-foot Vagabonds made in 1950. It showcases a large wooden hatch in the center that swings open to reveal its six-cylinder, 125-horsepower Gray Marine motor.
Were looking to see it the way it appeared right out of the factory, said judge Arthur E. Muller of Sunapee, N.H., who has restored a few Century boats himself. He held a clipboard while he inspected the mechanics of the bright red engine. Some of the improvements made to the boat differed from its original design, he said after inspecting each part in minute detail.
You arent supposed to paint the nuts and bolts on the engine red, and the color is a little too bright, he said. All of the clamps on the hoses should match and be in the same position. And there should be a solid tie rod that comes back from the steering wheel to the carburetor, but we have a brand new flexible cable in here.
Were getting a little fussy, he concluded with a laugh.
Overall, the judges gave the engine a rating of 21 out of 25. Judges said the boat would probably receive a final score in the low 90s out of 100.
He has a good chance of winning, but were still going to have to tell him all the things that are wrong, Mr. Holmes said.
Others came to participate in the auction Saturday as buyers and sellers. David A. Erherdt attended the show with a group of friends from the Manotick Classic Boat Club in Manotick, Ontario. Sitting comfortably in a lawn chair in the shade, he was waiting for the auctioneer to sell the four boats he brought, trailered in front of him. Available for bid at no reserve price were two small mahogany plywood boats from the 1960s, a 1968 Carver Cruiser with a 175-horsepower engine and 1972 Chris Craft with a 200-horsepower engine.
Im willing to take whatever bids come, said Mr. Erherdt, 69, whos attended the show for about 20 years. I dont have any space to store them.
The friend sitting next to him, Michael A. Krzyzanowski, also from Canada, had his eyes on the 21-foot Carver Cruiser, a luxury watercraft with an indoor cabin.
Weve been up and down the Rideau Canal with it together, and thats a three-day trip, he said. Its about 120 miles from Ottawa to Kingston.
James J. Meehan of Lake Gaston, N.C., attended the show with a friend from South Carolina. He had his eyes on a 1958 Aerocraft aluminum boat with a 35-horsepower outboard engine.
Sometimes no one raises their hands to bid on the older boats, said Mr. Meehan, who owns a summer home at Goose Bay on the St. Lawrence River. Ill bid as cheap as I can, because I dont have a lot of money on me.

Studying abroad is a dream-like experience, nearly impossible to compare, as the feeling can be very personal. What you experience may not be what others would in the same circumstance. The culture, the life and the unforgettable moments you have abroad group together to form a surreal mosaic of images, which will permanently be etched in your mind. You may experience anxiety, impatience, cultural shock, and a roller coaster ride of extreme emotional highs and lows. This feeling or experience is quite natural, because of the new lifestyles and new values to which you are undoubtedly exposed.
However, the sad part is that students opt out of studying abroad, believing that it would be very difficult to cope because of the high expense. Such students would be surprised to know that it is not only easy to plan and organize their study, but also there are options that can make studying abroad quite affordable.
Types of study abroad scholarships available
There are certain scholarships that are merit-based, which are awarded to prospective students based on their marks or level of skill. For those students who are excellent in academics, athletics, arts, etc this type of scholarship would prove to be great.
Then there are student specific scholarships which are awarded to students based on certain characteristics possessed by them, for example a person's race. If you are a member of a specific religion, you may get some money for your study abroad trip. You can earn money for the trip also based on your medical history. Many student specific study abroad scholarships are available which you may find by surfing the internet.
Whatever location you plan to travel to may give you access to money for your trips. They do it because, countries benefit economically from having foreign students study and reside. The money is offered probably to encourage them to travel to certain places. The information regarding such study abroad scholarships can probably be found on certain government funded travel websites.
The scholarship may also depend on the subject area that you plan to major in, thus making you eligible for a variety of scholarships, specific to pursuing a particular subject. The required qualifications for receiving such scholarships may vary, considering the standards imposed by the organization or any particular institution, or the individual granting the money.
Not all scholarships are the same. Each will require different materials and may have different deadlines. Therefore, it will be quite necessary for you to remain organized, and be very aware of what you are expected to do.

Last night, the winners of the National Magazine Awards were announced at the annual gala held at Lincoln Center — which, incidentally, just so happens to be the new home of New York Fashion Week.
Glamour's Cindi Leive took home the highest honor, winning Magazine of the Year. But with the exception of Glamour's win and Anna Wintour's induction into the Magazine Editor's Hall of Fame, it seems that once again fashion magazines were snubbed.
W had the most nominations out of all the fashion magazines, and suffered the most losses. The publication was nominated in the General Excellence category for magazines with 250,000 to 500,000 circulation as well as for an award for Single-Topic Issues and Photo Portfolio. Instead, New York Magazine, Wired, and The New Yorker took home the prizes, respectively.
In the 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 circulation's category, Teen Vogue was in the running, but Men's Health snagged the win and Vanity Fair won over Vogue for the Photography/Print prize.
(As a side note, we're not including Vanity Fair or New York Magazine as fashion publications. We'd hardly call either of them fashion-focused — though NY mag certainly loves a good trend piece and has one of the better and more comprehensive fashion sections on the web. Also, they have a Michelle Obama Look Book. But we digress.)
So where are all the fashion mag awards? And why did it take this long for Anna Wintour to be inducted into the Magazine Editor's Hall of Fame? Where was Elle or Harper's Bazaar in the lists of finalists? These questions probably speak more to a systemic issue in the fashion industry than any sort of bias on ASME's part, but it does seem like fashion glossies are struggling to keep relevant in the face of new media. When Vogue continues to name drop socialites like they're going out of style and most female and fashion-focused mags spend their sections telling women what's wrong with them, well, yeah, they'll probably miss out on an Award of General Excellence. Or seven.
But there are publications out there doing good stuff — as evidenced by W's noms. We're surprised that a smaller and very photo-heavy magazine like Lula wouldn't even be nominated in an image-based category. And, come on, everyone knows that Harper's has the best spreads around.
According to ASME, 51 magazines were nominated in 23 categories this year. Only one fashion magazine got a win.
We sometimes wish there were awards solely devoted to celebrating fashion magazines. But instead of getting down and out, lamenting about why the fashion world was left out for a second year in a row of the honors, we decided to give you a chance to choose the winners.

So we've spent a lot of time talking about increases in poverty. The recent Census Bureau report has confirmed what many Americans had already been thinking: poverty is growing.
As it turns out, increases in the number of people living in poverty (and other effects of the poor economy) may lead to a five percent increase in homelessness over the next three years. This increase totals approximately 74,000 additional homeless people.
The Alliance just penned a short report about this projection (which you can find on our website). The report projects increases from a current baseline estimate of 1.6 million homeless people (estimate courtesy of the AHAR) and takes into account increases in deep poverty, which is defined as people with household incomes below half of the poverty line and considered a risk factor for homelessness. According to the Census, deep poverty affected an unprecedented 20.5 million people in 2010. Nationally, 6.7 percent of people live in deep poverty.
What does this mean? And what can we do?
It means that, without intervention, another 74,000 people will experience homelessness. And in fact, as we explain in the report, that may be a conservative estimate. The economy has been hard on everyone but it's been especially hard on poor people, are facing stagnant unemployment, declining incomes, and rising severe housing cost burdens (which is when you spend 50 percent or more of your monthly income on rent).
But what about those interventions? These projections are made at a time funding for programs that prevent and end homelessness may face significant cuts at the state, local, and federal levels, leaving many without any public resources to weather their economic turmoil.
But we can make another choice. As the Alliance recommends in the report, we can choose to reinvest in housing-focused homeless assistance programs to deter a growth in homelessness.
We've done it before – and successfully. In 2009, the Alliance projected that homelessness would increase significantly due to the recession. That increase was mitigated by the stimulus funded Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP). In fact, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, HPRP has prevented and ended homelessness for one million Americans.
And now, as the effects of the down economy persist, we can do it again. We can take the steps necessary to prevent the projected increases in homelessness and assist vulnerable people back into stable housing. But we need to choose to make ending homelessness a national priority.
The question is – will we?
You can find this publication, Increases in Homelessness on the Horizon, on the Alliance website.

25 June 2014
Celebrated author, poet and playwright Michael Morpurgo, whose work includes the acclaimed War Horse (now an award winning play and film) has joined forces with the Royal Shakespeare Company in a unique project examining what it's like to grow up in Shakespeare's hometown and 'Walk Where Will Shakespeare Walked'.
The project reaches its culmination on Thursday 3 July at 2pm* when Stratford schoolchildren join Michael Morpurgo to watch their responses to the project in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
The project, led by Morpurgo and RSC Education, invites local schoolchildren to explore the creative influence of growing up in Shakespeare's hometown using the same stimulus as Shakespeare did to inspire their own creative writing skills.
Earlier this year, pupils from 13 schools in Stratford-upon-Avon joined RSC Artistic Director, Gregory Doran, on a walk around the Stratford countryside visiting local features and surroundings that feature in Shakespeare's plays.
Pupils were then given a copy of Our Jacko, a new short story written by Michael Morpurgo, which also takes its inspiration from Shakespeare's Stratford, and asked to produce 13 pieces of creative writing continuing Our Jacko's story.
The project will culminate on Thursday 3 July 2014 with a celebratory event in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The event will open with a reading of Our Jacko, read by Michael Morpurgo himself, before actors from the RSC's current production of Henry IV integrate each of the school children's 13 new pieces of writing into the story as part of a special one-off performance.
Our Jacko tells the story of two young schools boys from Warwickshire who discover the diaries of their Great Grandfather, Jacko, a former soldier from World War 1 who grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon and worked at the Royal Shakespeare Company (then the Memorial Theatre). Jacko kept a diary of walks he took in the surrounding Warwickshire countryside 'where Will Shakespeare walked before him' and as the story unfolds, the local countryside and sites that feature in Shakespeare's plays are brought to life once again.
Jacqui O'Hanlon, director of RSC Education, added;
"We are delighted that Michael is playing such a key part in this project and that we can give young people living and growing up in Stratford-upon-Avon such an inspiring and exciting opportunity. Michael is one of this country's most engaging writers and we are sure that everyone taking part in the project will be thoroughly motivated by his involvement. We can't wait to see what sort of responses we get from the young people and the 3 July event is sure to be a real celebration of the creative inspiration we have right here on our own doorstep."

Notes to editors:
*This is not a public event and tickets are not available to purchase. The time of the event is not for print/broadcast.
This project is supported by STRATFORD TOWN TRUST. Stratford Town Trust is a grant-giving charity based in Stratford-upon-Avon. Since 2001 the Trust has given around £1 million each year to local good causes, community projects and initiatives that have made Stratford a better place to live, work and study. Further information about the Trust and its grant giving can be found at www.stratfordtowntrust.co.uk
Our Jacko:
Our Jacko is part of The Great War, an anthology of fictional stories from 11 internationally acclaimed award winning authors. Each author chose an object from the First World War as the basis of their tale. The Great War is published by Walker to commemorate the centenary of the First World War on 28 July this year (£12.99). Our Jacko tells the story of two young schools boys from Warwickshire who discover the diaries of their Great Grandfather, Jacko, a former soldier from World War 1 who grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon and worked at the Royal Shakespeare Company (then the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre). Jacko kept a diary of walks he took in the surrounding Warwickshire countryside 'where Will Shakespeare walked' and as the story unfolds, the local countryside and sites that feature in Shakespeare's plays are brought to life once again.
About RSC Education:
RSC Education transforms experiences of Shakespeare for young people.
Our approach is rooted in a 130 year history of making theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon and sharing that wealth of skills and knowledge with teachers and students across the UK. We build long term relationships with school, teachers and communities across the UK – and particularly those who have the least access to Shakespeare, the RSC and cultural provision – and we know that when our approaches are adopted, student attitudes to school and learning in general, as well as to Shakespeare, improve.
The work of RSC Education itself dates back to 1948 when we held our first summer school for teachers. We were the first theatre company to introduce Shakespeare to primary age children and more recently, became the first theatre to broadcast its productions directly into schools and classrooms all over the UK. Each year we reach over 400,000 young people and work with approximately 1,100 schools.

Women's use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for business is beginning to shift perceptions about women's roles and positions in society. This is significant in a country like India, where persistent economic and social barriers still prevent women from fulfilling their economic potential. This report's findings and recommendations, while pertinent to the Indian context, have relevance for a number of low-income and emerging market economies.
The report translates insights into recommendations for the private sector, government and nongovernmental groups to encourage women to start, strengthen and sustain businesses by using ICTs. These include making women a core part of business strategies, designing policies that incentivize public-private partnerships, and drawing on the expertise and experience of local organizations that are already working to provide poor women with income-generating opportunities

City opts for in-house attorney
The city will start searching to hire a city attorney, possibly this week, following a council decision last week to stop paying for outside legal counsel, Mayor Del Jurney said Monday.
City councilors held a special meeting Thursday to decide if the city should continue contracting with attorney Barbara Patterson or hire an in-house lawyer.
"There was a very positive discussion about the pros and cons of each philosophical direction," Jurney said. "There are certainly advantages and disadvantages on each."

Insurgents and criminal elements in Afghanistan have shifted to smuggling for illicit funds and supplies. With the trafficking of weapons and drugs across international borders, the need for border security is at an all-time high.
By donning disguises and using pack mules to simulate smuggling drugs and weapons, troopers from the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment's Horse Detachment provide training to counter the threat of smuggling for rotational Soldiers at the National Training Center. The training takes place on the borders of the fictional countries of Donovia and Atropia.
The simulated locations replicate scenarios that the Soldiers might face while on a deployment. New depths of realism are added to the training by incorporating live animals.
They give those Soldiers in "The Box†things to look for that would likely be faced downrange, said Sgt. Jacob Irish, a Horse Detachment trooper. Countering the smuggling of illegal items between the Afghanistan and Pakistan borders is a vital mission to security. By conducting smuggling operations, Soldiers gain insight into the tactics used of the enemy. Ultimately, this will prepare Soldiers to be more successful when deployed.
The smugglers have used native animals to climb up and down mountains on the border in places that is difficult for military personnel to patrol. In some areas, the air is too thin for helicopters and the ground is too steep and rocky for military vehicles, making it only accessible by foot or mule. These areas are considered hotbeds for insurgents and criminal elements.
You would be surprised at what these animals can do,†said Spc. Alexis D. Azevedo, a Horse Detachment trooper. "I remember the mule was fully loaded and we were in steep box canyon. I thought there was no way we're making it up this hill, but we did.â€
Azevedo attended the Marine Animal Packing Course at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in order to better prepare for smuggling operations and handling animals. The course taught proper ways to load munitions and supplies onto horses, mules and donkeys.
"A lot of their livelihoods down there are farmers.  They herd goats, sheep, whatever,†said Azevedo. "If you're not used to seeing goats running around town, you might be questioning it a little more. It's just something else to get used to.â€
As the enemy studies our training, tactics and procedures, we must evolve our tactics and procedures to counter the enemy. Soldiers training at Fort Irwin will have a better understanding of the capabilities of pack animals and be able to respond tactically because of the Horse Detachment's mission at the National Training Center.

Medical care blocked for man killed by SWAT
Reporter: Craig Smith
Web Producer: Layla Tang
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - 9 On Your Side has uncovered startling new information in the case of a man SWAT team members killed May 5.
Medical attention was standing by to try to save Jose Guereña.
Paramedics waited more than an hour.
Then deputies sent them away
By then, Guereña was dead.
The Pima Sheriff's Department said its SWAT team was trying to serve warrants for a drug investigation. According to deputies, when SWAT members broke open the door at Guereña's house they found him crouched in the hall, with an assault rifle pointed at them.
They concede now Guereña didn't shoot, but five deputies did, firing off 71 rounds.
His wife Vanessa was hiding in the closet with their 4-year-old son during the shooting. When she emerged, she saw her husband on the floor in a pool of blood, but still alive. Vanessa told KGUN9 she called 911 and pleaded with deputies to treat his wounds.
"The only thing I told them was take care of him, take him to a hospital," she said.
KGUN9 News requested the emergency call records for Drexel Heights Fire Rescue. The 911 call center notified Drexel Heights at 9:43 a.m. A unit arrived just two minutes later at 9:45. However, deputies told rescue workers to stay put. That's standard to be sure they won't walk into a dangerous situation. But paramedics waited until 10:59 a.m. Then they heard the radio call "Code 900", which meant they were no longer needed because the person was dead.
After one hour and 14 minutes, Drexel Heights indicated they were never allowed to even examine Jose .
In comparison, on the day of the January 8th mass shooting, deputies held back ambulance and fire crews there for only 12 minutes before they determined it was safe for emergency medical crews to enter the chaotic scene.
The Guereña maintains that SWAT members did not identify themselves before breaking down the door, and Jose Guereña had his rifle drawn because he was protecting his family from what he thought was a home invasion. His wife said he had a clean criminal record, and that she still doesn't know why SWAT members were serving a search warrant at the house. The family announced Wednesday that they have hired prominent attorney Christopher Scileppi to represent them.

Research Area: Non-motor features of Parkinson's Disease I graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with majors in Chemistry and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. I moved to Wisconsin in 2011 and began working at MCW as a research tech in microbiology. I joined the IDP program in 2012 and am now part of Dr. Allison Ebert's lab.
My focus is on understanding the mechanisms behind non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease, especially pain. These non-motor symptoms occur in roughly 90% of patients and include sleep disturbances, cognitive defects, and sensory dysfunction. I hope to use induced pluripotent stem cells and rat models to further understand the neurochemical factors and neuroanatomical factors that contribute to these non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
