International student enrollment expected to boom at TTUTTU's new intensive English-language center opened in July and has grown already to more than 100 students.
Tech officials say the center's presence on campus is spurring a mini-population boom of prospective international students. Before the center opened, TTU often referred international students who needed English-as-a-second-language instruction to Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro or the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, both of which have intensive English language centers on campus.
"Over four years, I referred more than 1,500 students to other institutions," said Charles J. Wilkerson, director of TTU's Office of International Student Affairs.
TTU currently has 576 international students, and about 350 of those students are undergraduates.
"I have a feeling we're going to hit 1,000 by 2015 if not before," Wilkerson said. "I received 500 inquiries in one week recently. With FLS on campus, I'm getting at least 10-15 applications for admission a day."
Tech's English language center is operated by FLS International and opened July 5 with five students. The growth spurt to 100 students has surprised even Christy Harrison, center director.
Pasadena, Calif.-based FLS was the recent winning bidder of a contract to operate TTU's intensive English language program.
"I don't think the folks in Pasadena ever thought this would happen here," she said. FLS also has locations in California, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
"They have been shocked at the growth, and every day it continues," she said.
Harrison says international students in need of language instruction are attracted to TTU because of its location in a safe, small town and because of its selection of majors, especially in the business, engineering and science disciplines.
All classes are taught in English only and many students stay with host families to ensure that the immersion is a complete around-the-clock experience.
"Some students come here and speak absolutely zero English," Harrison said. "They get to be immersed in our campus and see what it's like. I know that this process works as far as attracting students here that would normally not know anything about Tech."
Wilkerson agrees, and said TTU stands to gain also from an overall trend in international student growth from China. According federal figures, the U.S. saw a 30 percent increase in Chinese student enrollment this year to 128,000 students – or about 18 percent of the total U.S. international student enrollment of more than 690,000.
"The U.S. is seeing a huge influx of Chinese students and I have a feeling in the next year Tennessee Tech is going to see at least 100 or more. Right now we've got about 50," he said.
The economic impact of international student enrollment is impressive. International students pay per semester out-of-state tuition and fees of about $9,500. By comparison, in-state tuition and fees total about $3,000 at Tech.
Those figures don't count the additional living expenses international students incur. According to a report from the Institute of International Education, the 6,155 international students currently attending colleges and universities in Tennessee spend $141.1 million a year for everything from rent and food to tuition and books.
To help address the expected growth of international student enrollment at TTU, the Office of International Student Affairs recently added Andrew Bleignier as immigration specialist.

Concord ExpressA Christian Science Study Resource
Divine Science is absolute, and permits no half-way 24position in learning its Principle and rule — establishing Impossible partnershipit by demonstration. The conventional firm, called matter and mind, God never formed. 27Science and understanding, governed by the unerring and eternal Mind, destroy the imaginary copartnership, matter and mind, formed only to be destroyed in a manner and 30at a period as yet unknown. This suppositional partner‐ship is already obsolete, for matter, examined in the light of divine metaphysics, disappears.
275:1 Matter has no life to lose, and Spirit never dies. A partnership of mind with matter would ignore omnipres‐3Spirit the starting-pointent and omnipotent Mind. This shows that matter did not originate in God, Spirit, and is not eternal. Therefore matter is neither substantial, living, 6nor intelligent. The starting-point of divine Science is that God, Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there is no other might nor Mind, — that God is Love, and therefore He 9 is divine Principle.
To grasp the reality and order of being in its Science, you must begin by reckoning God as the divine Principle 12Divine synonyms of all that really is. Spirit, Life, Truth, Love, combine as one, — and are the Scriptural names for God. All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, im‐15mortality, cause, and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal manifestations of the infinite divine Principle, Love. No wisdom is wise but His 18 wisdom; no truth is true, no love is lovely, no life is Life but the divine; no good is, but the good God bestows.
Divine metaphysics, as revealed to spiritual understand‐21ing, shows clearly that all is Mind, and that Mind is The divine completenessGod, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience, — that is, all power, all presence, all Science. 24Hence all is in reality the manifestation of Mind.
Our material human theories are destitute of Science. The true understanding of God is spiritual. It robs the 27grave of victory. It destroys the false evidence that mis‐leads thought and points to other gods, or other so-called powers, such as matter, disease, sin, and death, superior 30or contrary to the one Spirit.

KAYSVILLE – Their population is four times that of the United States, they were the first to mine diamonds, they created things as diverse as chess and Yoga and one of their countrymen invented the Pentium chip.
This information about India, plus more about its land, its climate and its culture, was presented to students at Centennial Junior High during the school's monthly multi-cultural activity last week.
Students learned about India's ancient universities and modern technological prowess from PJ Singh, the father of two Centennial students. They learned about Sanskrit and about Bollywood. They learned about the dances, the foods and the religion PJ Singh practices as a Sikh.
Andrew Smalley was one of approximately 130 students in the audience during the presentation.
"I learned a lot," said Smalley. "I didn't know where Sanskrit started and I didn't know about how they valued education in ancient times. I think the fundamental ideas of Sikhism are really cool."
Those who practice the 500-year-old religion believe "God is one," Singh told the students and parents who gathered at the after-school activity. They believe humans are equal, whether men or women, and follow three staples: to always remember God, to work hard and honestly, and to share what they have with the needy.
Sikhs are not Muslim, said Singh, though because of the turbans they wear to cover their uncut hair, there have been hate crimes against Sikhs in America since 9/11. It is part of the Sikh religion to leave hair uncut.
Simran Singh, PJ's son, is a ninth-grader at Centennial. He said his fellow students have been "cool" about his heritage and religion. "They're not disrespectful," he said. "They just ask questions and I answer them."
After the presentation, PJ helped students learn a few Indian dance steps while his family served the large crowd chicken tikki masala, naan bread, mango lassi, and other Indian dishes. He serves similar dishes in his three Taste of India restaurants.
"It's nice that everyone gets to know a little bit more about India," said Simran.

International Runners at U.S. Schools

With the NCAA Divison One Championships drawing to a close, I figured it was now or never if I wanted to share the results of an informal survey I did about the number of international athletes who competed for U.S. schools this past year (X-Country, Indoors, Outdoors).
The total came to more than 1,100 athletes, with 96 countries represented.
I'll leave it to others to draw any conclusions, but it should be noted that not all athletes received a scholarship and not all were heavily recruited "stars". Some were born or reside in the U.S., but maintain citizenship from another country.
I hope to post the complete breakdown shortly.

Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
I'm glad you brought that up, because it really chaps my butt that foreigners get ANY scholarships. I am NOT a xenophobe, and I think there SHOULD be foreigners on every team, for the diversity. But why do coaches choose the lazy route and get overage, 'already up there' overseas talent that clearly prevents an American-grown athlete from getting financial aid? These same coaches ALWAYS claim they are doing it for some international good will BS, but if we banned them from scoring at conference or nationals they would drop them like a hot potato. Genuine hypocrisy. There are PLENTY of talented American boys and girls who, with some good (aye, there's the rub) coaching, could do very well. I like the foreigners on the teams and giving them a scholarship is great if you are doing it out of the kindness of your heart, but take away the scoring potential and these numbers that we see here would dwindle to a handful.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
I understand your feelings. Personally, I like seeing top foreign athletes in the NCAA. But I don't think recruiting them should be a substitute for coaching.
And if you recruit foreigners, be proud of it. Don't say it's because your school is in Lametown, USA and can't recruit the top American kids. That's a cop out.
As a kid, my heroes were African distance runners, many who'd run in the U.S. I'm often the one guy rooting for them at NCAA Cross when everyone else is yelling at the Americans.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
it is more often the case that coaches have to work hard to get what they do out of their foreign athletes than otherwise.
i could not speak for other situations (smu/dallas, etc.) - or even to the ted banks era - but until you try to recruit athletes to el paso, then you just have no idea. i would not even imply that the utep coaches would cop to anything of the sort, but even the college-bound el paso locals (esp. the best and brightest) tend to get out of that town if they can get into and can come up with tuition and fees for schools in other locales. despite that fact, the coaches at utep do a solid job of recruiting and coaching locals. despite the above number, not even half of those qualified for nationals and over half the utep roster is filled with americans.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
The thing that burns me is all of this is when a coach spends the majority of their recruiting money to get the foreign kids. That money, especially in state schools, comes directly from tax dollars of the kid's parents in the area that the coach ignores. State schools, at least in NY, have to fundraise their scholarship $, so they should spend that pretty much however they want, but the recruiting should be putting money back into the economy of the state that gave it to them to begin with.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
the same would apply to recruiting out-of-state americans, no?
the coach has a salary and a budget to do a job - any restrictions on how s/he does that job are up to the athletic department, school administration, and the ncaa.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
You have a point, except state universities also receive federal funds (Pell Grants, etc.).
I don't mind foreign athletes in the NCAAs. It increases competition, which helps everyone get better. However, I do believe national federations should be paying at least half (if not all) the costs of the U.S. training their athletes. No other country would fork over costs to train OTHER countries' athletes, & rightfully so.
I also thought there were NCAA limits on the number of foreign athletic scholarships? Yet it seems as though UTEP's team is at least 50% foreign?
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
as i indicated above, less than half of utep's roster is comprised of foreigners (and iirc, ibrahim is undergoing the naturalization process); you could see for yourself here: http://www.utepathletics.com/xcountry&t ... roster.htm
by and large, the foreigners who come to u.s. universities are neither world beaters or olympians nor will they ever be so. expecting foreign federations to pay for any of the educational costs for their b- and c-rate juniors would be like expecting foreign governments to pay for their high school exchange students or for foreigners who get academic scholarships at u.s. universities because u.s. tax dollars end up training their doctors. i can certainly think of many much greater wastes of tax money than educating some foreigners.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
Hey! I am European and I don't like that American track athletes are being paid so much to run in Europe! That money should be given to European athletes so they can have a better chance at making a living in track and field! Waaaaah!
I'm not actually European, but that's the same way people sound when they complain about foreign NCAA athletes.
Track is not a zero-sum game. It is not as if every scholarship given to a foreign athlete takes away one from an American. Remove the foreign scholarship athletes, most of whom are top notch (otherwise the school would not have gone to the trouble of recruiting them from abroad and giving them a scholarship), and many schools would reduce their scholarship budgets because the smaller number of good athletes would reduce their ability to attract media attention and sponsorship dollars.
Similarly, banning Americans, Jamaicans or Kenyans from the European circuit would reduce the money that the meet promoters can make (and afford to pay to athletes), and probably would DECREASE the opportunities for European athletes.
It would also be absurd to suggest that non-scholarship foreign athletes should be ineligible to compete, after paying tens of thousands of dollars to attend their school.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
Good Point about the European meets!
And for the poster talking about tax dollars and state schools, I guess this means the private schools on that list can do what they please by your comment?
What is the international athlete breakdown for other sports- let's just use swimming, basketball,
and soccer for examples. (Just a thought- the number of internationals in American football is probably nil as no one else plays it- how does that fit into the Football vs. Title IX vs. Men's teams being eliminated?)
Helen S.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
Saying that foreign athletes aren't appreciably diminishing home-grown talents' chances of a scholarship is just flat wrong. Coach are still going to use their alloted money to get the best athletes available and then they're going to coach their butts off to get them as good as they can. The Euro meet point is specious as well. The meet promoters are trying to make money and whatever puts butts in seats is what they're after. We're talking about American Universities committing tax-payer funds (at state schools) to help forign nations' athletes improve.

Today's SACRAMENTO BEE:
"Foreign athletes: Recruit them or not?"
http://www.sacbee.com/content/sports/st ... 1333c.html
The article says Stanford doesn't recruit outside the U.S.? Ahem, Canadian sprinter Ashley Purnell is among its rising sprint squad. I think they have or have had other foreign athletes too.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
1127 out of 45,000+ is *appreciable*? it is not even significant.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
you're saying there are 45,000 scholarships?
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
no, why would i state that?
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
because you're mixing apples and oranges.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
wrong. look at the original post, the numbers are for participation, not scholarhips.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
except that the foreigners have a much (much) higher percentage of scholarships.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
Hmmm... European promoters benefit from European tax dollars contributed towards building the stadiums, so they should ban all non-Europeans from competing there!
US tax dollars are not the primary source of funding for foreign scholarship athletes (or for American athletes for that matter). College track funding is a combination of several different sources including alumni donations, corporate sponsorship, television revenues, student athletic fees, and surplus revenue from big-money sports like basketball and football.
If you attempt to create more scholarships for American athletes taking away scholarships from foreigners, you'll be replacing many stars with marginal athletes who weren't currently able to get a scholarship. The above suppliers of funds aren't going to be very happy with giving up their money if their 4x1 team starts running 40.6 instead of the usual 39.5 because they couldn't recruit foreign athletes. They give less money, and that's fewer scholarships for EVERYBODY. Just like the European promoters, the coaches do their best to get the athletes that fill the most seats and attract the most publicity and dollars, regardless of nationality.
Then if you break down that 1127 number quoted above, taking out those who are not on scholarship, those who are taxpaying legal immigrants with foreign citizenship, and those at private schools which do not use federal dollars for athletics, it is definitely not a case of tons of tax dollars being "wasted" to develop foreign athletes and robbing US athletes of opportunities.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
any other day this might be an interesting discussion. however when results like McWilliam's 4:06 and the men's 400 are rolling in I've got to think the time to pick the sport apart is not now. let's save that for that fall or winter.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
>except that the foreigners have a much (much)

this is quibbling over chickenfeed - there are still more than enough for those americans who truly deserve them.

especially considering that a huge majority of the foreign athletes who develop into world class/olympians do so without the 'benefit' of the u.s. collegiate system or its scholarships.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
tafnut your dead on and this debate is over a decade old. i must add that as a tax payer (and i pay almost 100 k in taxes) i am offended that scholarships are given to foreign athetes while homegrown talent whose parents pay taxes too are passed up. it is true that some of the international athletes improve the level of competition in some events that are really not that strong in the us high school level, but it is a matter of priciple.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
If they are "passed up" then they are not talented enough to deserve a scholarship.
When you become a coach, then you can decide if you want to win or run a welfare program for below par Americans.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
In that same vein, maybe we should also quit running a welfare/quota system for US distance runners and recruit more foreign talent. Obviously most US distance runners aren't talented enough for to be contenders at the Olympics but there's plenty of foreign talent left at home every four years.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
Who is this "we"? Are you a college coach?
You do what you prefer to meet the expectations and requirements of your contract as well as your own ambition.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
If you are offended that scholarships go to international athletes, with the amount you pay in taxes, donate some bucks somewhere that are restricted to American athletes who did not recieve any athletic scholarship money.
If a kid has talent, and really wants to be good, they can do that anywhere- and probably won't be national or world class until after graduating anyway. How many americans are denied going to school somewhere due to lack of funds? If they are really poor, money is available- but if they just want to tell everyone they "got a scholarship" even if it means not going to the school they really wanted to go to, too bad for them. Walk ons and Division III are opportunities open to everyone!
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
The article says
>Stanford doesn't recruit outside the U.S.? Ahem,

Maybe a Canadian wanted to go to Stanford for the academics? Not an unknown concept for most people, except US athletes (especially all of those 85 full scholarship football players that could care less about their books) looking for the holy grail of a pro contract. Do you know for a fact that Ms. Purnell has a shcolarship for track?
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
>I understand your feelings. Personally, I like

>don't think recruiting them should be a

You say that as if recruiting and coaching are opposite, even mutually exclusive pursuits. Part of good coaching IS good recruiting. I'd love to see a team of Americans win it all, but if I were a college coach, I'd be on the phone to Kenyans, Canadians, ect., too. Remember, for every 10 minute 2 miler that becomes a conference champ, there are dozens of others that become, well, 2 minute 2 milers.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
>Remember, for every 10 minute 2 miler that becomes a conference champ,there are dozens of others that become, well, 2 minute 2 milers.<
This I gotta see.
Re: International Runners at U.S. Schools
When did I say that coaching and recruiting are opposites or mutually exclusive? I merely stated that I don't think recruiting should be a SUBSTITUTE for coaching. Perhaps I should have used the word "development" instead of coaching.
It's easier to look like a good coach by recruiting a 3:42 1500 runner who runs 3:44 under your tutelage than turning a 4:00 kid into a 3:50 runner.

The first detoxifying booster step
When the skin is sluggish, tired, and lacking vitality, a veritable "Cure Ultra-Detox" is called for: the new Ultra-Detox One Essential Restorative Mask eliminates toxins and has a profound restorative action on the skin.* The secret? A ten-fold higher concentration of Détoxinyle™, Dior's detoxifying active ingredient, for skin that is like new: perfectly smooth, plumped up and glowing. The extra-cool gel texture becomes a face mask which, on contact, is absorbed into the skin, diffusing into the very heart of the cells its superpowerful active ingredients, in record time - 10 times faster than a sheet mask.**
*In vitro test
** In vitro test vs sheet mask, measured every 4 hours for cafeine penetration, from 4 - 40 hours, in actual conditions of product use.
Once or twice a week, apply a generous amount of the gel mask over the whole face. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes maximum. The serum texture will progressively penetrate your skin.
For extra detoxifying effectiveness, remove excess gel following the exclusive application movements developed in association with the Dior Institute.

Cluny Museum, Paris
The National Museum of the Middle Ages (Musée National du Moyen Âge), also known as the Cluny Museum (Musee de Cluny), displays a magnificent collection of medieval art in a 15th-century Gothic mansion. As an added bonus, underneath the museum are the ruins of ancient Roman baths.
The Musée National du Moyen Age is housed in the Hôtel de Cluny, one of only two remaining medieval homes in Paris (the other is the Hôtel de Sens in the Marais). The building was founded by the rich and powerful 15th-century abbot of Cluny Abbey, Jacques d'Amboise, who constructed his mansion over the ruins of a Roman bath.
In addition to abbots, the Hôtel de Cluny hosted other notable residents, including Mary Tudor, widow of Louis XII, beginning in 1515. Seized during the French Revolution, the Cluny was rented in 1833 to Alexandre du Sommerard, an amateur art collector who was fascinated with the Middle Ages. After his death in 1842, the government bought the building and the collection.
What to See
The museum is entered through the cobblestoned Court of Honor (Cour d'Honneur), which is separated from the street by high walls and surrounded on the other three sides by the wings of the Hôtel de Cluny.
The exterior of the Flamboyant Gothic building includes many symbols of the Abbot of Cluny's power, from the crenellated walls to the carved Burgundian grapes. The scallop-shells on the façade symbolize the great Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, which once began just around the corner and was overseen by the Abbey of Cluny.
The design of the museum's medieval garden, completed in 2000, was inspired by the Lady and the Unicorn tapestry and provides a pleasant oasis in the heart of the city. It covers 5000 square meters and includes medicinal plants, a "kitchen garden" of herbs, and a section with a "thousand flowers" (mille fleurs).
The most famous attraction of the Musée de Cluny is the Lady and the Unicorn (Dame à la Licorne) tapestry, the most acclaimed tapestry of its kind. The six charming scenes, which cover the walls of an entire room, bring to life the romance of the age of chivalry. The tapestry was designed by French artists and woven in 1485-1500 in Flanders. It was discovered in 1841 by Prosper Merimee in Boussac Castle and aquired by the museum in 1882.
Each of the six scenes includes a beautiful lady, a unicorn, and a lion. The animals wear heraldry that identifies the sponsor of the work as Jean Le Viste, a powerful nobleman close to King Charles VII (1422-61). The backgrounds are filled with woodland creatures, plants and flowers, creating an enchanted landscape.
Five of the scenes illustrate the five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell and sound. The sixth scene, which belongs either at the beginning or the end of the series, is especially beautiful and intriguing. It is labeled with a banner reading, "To my only desire," and shows the lady placing a necklace in a case held by a servant.
Downstairs in room 9 are the ruins of Roman baths, dating from about 200 AD. The best-preserved section is the frigidarium (cold water bath), with ribbed vaulting resting on consoles evoking ships' prows. This unusual motif is explained by the builders builders of the baths, who were Paris's boatmen. On display here is another survival associated with the builders: the "Pillar of the Boatmen," a column dedicated to Jupiter from the 1st century AD. It was found beneath Notre-Dame's chancel and is believed to be the oldest sculpture created in Paris.
The following numbering of rooms is that used in the museum's visitor guides. The list of exhibits in each room is not comprehensive but gives an indication of the most prominent and characteristic artworks.

text: In visions of future government statistical systems, administrative records will be used widely. Demand for information will increase beyond the ability of surveys and censuses to meet it. Administrative records will become easier to get and process, enabling more and cheaper estimates with less burden on respondents. But administrative records are a by product of systems that we currently neither fully understand nor control, so many concerns arise about our ability to use them and the quality of estimates based on them. Last January, the authors conducted a review (Marquis, Palacios, and Wetrogan 1996) and concluded that many of the Census Bureau's programs would benefit by creating a national database of people linked to families, addresses, and geographic areas. This paper raises some orienting issues concerning a national population database, provides some early results related to a few of those issues, and discusses next steps for moving ahead with database building.

SOURCE The Kroger Co.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co.'s (NYSE: KR) Board of Directors today declared a quarterly dividend of 16.5 cents per share to be paid on March 1, 2014, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 15, 2014.
In September, the company's Board of Directors raised the quarterly dividend by approximately 10 percent, to 16.5 cents per share. Kroger has delivered double-digit compound growth in its dividend since it was reinstated in 2006. The company continues to expect an increasing dividend over time.
Kroger, one of the world's largest retailers, employs 343,000 associates who serve customers in 2,414 supermarkets and multi-department stores in 31 states under two dozen local banner names including Kroger, City Market, Dillons, Jay C, Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer, Fry's, King Soopers, QFC, Ralphs and Smith's. The company also operates 786 convenience stores, 327 fine jewelry stores, 1,218 supermarket fuel centers and 37 food processing plants in the U.S. Recognized by Forbes as the most generous company in America, Kroger supports hunger relief, breast cancer awareness, the military and their families, and more than 30,000 schools and grassroots organizations. Kroger contributes food and funds equal to 200 million meals a year through more than 80 Feeding America food bank partners. A leader in supplier diversity, Kroger is a proud member of the Billion Dollar Roundtable and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber's Million Dollar Club.
This press release contains a forward-looking statement, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, about the future performance of the company. This statement is based on management's assumptions and beliefs in light of the information currently available to it. Such statement is indicated by the word "expect." Our ability to continue to increase our dividend over time, will be affected by our inability to generate free cash flow at the levels anticipated and our failure to generate expected operating results. This forward-looking statement is subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. We assume no obligation to update the information contained herein. Please refer to Kroger's reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a further discussion of these risks and uncertainties.

A $48,000 Cat Dozer topped PayPal's list of most expensive mobile payments this year.
As with all things, some like to take it to the extreme.
How about a white gold necklace dripping with 125 diamonds totaling 31.3 carats for $46,500? Or a Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500) bulldozer for $48,000?
These are just some things that people bought on their phones using PayPal, the e-commerce payment service. They were among Paypal's top five mobile payments this year totaling $220,000.

With a swipe of a touch screen or a spin of a phone trackball, one mobile shopper bought a pre-1938 Lincoln Cent coin collection. It included a 1918 penny, which cost $12,000, and another from 1914 for $9,000. The entire collection cost more than $46,000.
Another person scored a $40,000 men's diamond chain necklace.
An art collector snagged an original painting from Romanian-born cubist artist Nechita Alexandra for $40,000.
These buyers aren't alone. A growing number of people are using their mobile devices to shop this holiday season.
It's now commonplace for customers to use their smartphone or tablet at retail stores to determine whether they can get a better deal for a certain item online.
On Cyber Monday, after the post-Thanksgiving Black Friday weekend, about 13% of shoppers made purchases using a phone or tablet -- up from 7% a year earlier, according to IBM Digital Analytics Benchmark, which tracks more than one million e-commerce transactions per day from more than 500 retailers.
Roughly 18% of shoppers checked out deals on their mobile devices that Monday, up from 12% last year.
It's helped fuel online sales. On Black Friday, online sales grew 21%, according to IBM. At stores, despite the lure of doorbuster deals, sales declined nearly 2%, according to ShopperTrak, which measures and analyzes foot traffic at more than 50,000 retail locations nationwide.

Tom's Game-day Conversations have Changed
Tom Dunnington is grateful his game-day conversations have changed.
"My doctor lectured me about getting a colonoscopy. I didn't want to do it, but his stories about other guys my age made me break down and have the test done. Afterward, he told me that they found a cancerous polyp and that I would need surgery.
I like FMC because the doctors talked on my level. I understood everything we needed to do. The nurse navigator made us feel comfortable and helped get us information quickly, especially when waiting for results and next steps. Everyone treated me like I was a king, the food was great and they gave me anything I wanted.
For having cancer, I was really lucky. They got it all and I didn't need more treatment. Now, I tell everyone to get a colonoscopy. I'm getting my football buddies and the guys from work to go. I just tell them, 'Dude, you know you should do it.'"

I really like these contacts. However, they're a pain in the butt to put in. I've found that if you don't put them in just right they take forever to rotate in to position. If you don't get them in right, then I agree with other commentators that they're irritating.To put them in, I look for the line that's etched in to the contact and use that to orient the contact to the correct angle before I insert it in to my eye. The line needs to be at the top of the lens. Finding a clear little line, on a clear lens when your contacts aren't in, is no small feat.Once there in though, they're comfortable all day long, easy to clean and stay put. These don't tend to rotate out of position like other Astigmatism lenses I've worn before.

I have always had astigmatism in both eyes, but this is the first year that I have had to order these contacts that are specific for that issue. For the previous four years I have worn the Acuruve Oasys and absolutely loved them. Considering the rather substantial difference in price between the two, I have not been pleased. I find these contacts do not stay clean as long, feel incredibly dry by the end of the day,and do not allow for infrequent oversights of falling asleep in them. I also find that my vision still seems a bit blurry when I am driving and I do not have the clarity that I experienced before. I will not be getting these again.

Very comfortable
By Wigg
from Chicago, IL
My friend who has had astegmatism for years told me that those type of contacts were very uncomfortable, so when my doctor told me I needed them I was upset, but then I tried one and I loved it and what is most important I can see, I know it sounds funny, but I really struggled with my eye with regular lens and this really corrected the way I see, so I am very happy.
Acuvue Oasys for astigmatism
By Yorkie lover

About Me Experienced wearer
Sometimes it take a minute for the lenses to rotate and adjust
Most comfotable brand I've tried
By Visit St. Pete/Clearwater
from St. Pete, FL
I've worn Acuvue Oasys for several years now. They provide the best fit and most comfort of the contact brands/types I've worn over the last 25 years. My vision in my "toric" eye will never be as clear as my "regular" eye, but compared with the fit and clarity problems I had with other torics in the past, the Acuvue Oasys just seem to fit way better, and are way more comfotable after a day in front of the computer screen.

Great contacts for someone with an astigmatism. It took me a while to find a pair that sits just right and these are it. On rare occasion i find one or 2 contacts in the pack that dont see to be right and i cant wear them but other than that, they are great!
Good Product. Been using them for years

I use this product all day for extended days. No trouble at all. Put cleaning/moisturizing drops in daily. Good to go!
Very Comfortable
By Contact Wearer
from New Mexico
I have worn Acuvue Oasys for many years and switched to AO for Astigmatism a couple of years ago. I have tried a couple other Astigmatism brands, but have always stuck with Acuvue because they are more comfortable in my eyes.

In a piece for IJCentral in December, I explored the relationship between the U.N. Security Council and the International Criminal Court: The Role of the U.N. Security Council in the ICC.
IJCentral builds global public awareness of the ICC and contributes to a constituency that will support an effective international justice system.
The Role of the U.N. Security Council in the ICC
I. Background
The Rome Statute is a treaty between consenting states. Any individual [1] who commits a crime on the territory of a state party, or is a national of a state party, can fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC. [2] When a crime is committed outside state-party territory by a national of a nonparty state, then the preconditions for exercising jurisdiction can still be met if the nonparty state accepts the Court's jurisdiction. [3] If the nonparty state does not accept, then jurisdiction can only be triggered through a referral from the U.N. Security Council. For example, under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, the Security Council made referrals of the situations in Darfur, Sudan (S/RES/1593(2005)) and in Libya (S/RES/1970 (2011)), even though neither state is a party to the Rome Statute.
When exercising jurisdiction through either territoriality or active nationality, an ICC referral does not need to be made by the Security Council, [4] but the Council still has the authority to defer a Prosecutor's investigation or prosecution by (renewable) twelve month terms. [5] (Throughout the rest of this post, "investigation or prosecution" will be collectively referred to as "prosecution.") No permanent member of the Security Council—collectively known as the "P5"—can unilaterally defer a prosecution. If the prosecution was triggered by a Security Council resolution, then any P5 member can veto such a referral, effectively blocking the prosecution.
II. Discussion
A. Who Should Have Deferral Powers?
The Security Council is likely better suited to make deferral decisions than a judicial or legal entity (i.e., a judge or prosecutor). By providing deferral powers to the Council, the ICC is prevented from making political decisions. Instead, the Court can continue to maintain its neutrality and simply enforce the substantive and procedural laws laid out in the Rome Statute.

618 Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7011629.964010 -90.057799
Neighborhoods: Marigny, Bywater
Good spirits of the liquid and atmospheric varieties draw beer lovers and professionals to this agreeable, upscale Marigny watering hole. – The Scene
The Big Apple meets the Big Easy. The original d.b.a. was born in New York City in the early 1990s, and is still one of the most popular pubs in the famed East Village; this Faubourg Marigny outpost opened in June 2000 as a place to talk with friends over a drink. The bar attracts a cross-section of artistic Marigny types, young professionals and older bar-goers. Some dress for a night on the town, while others don the casual duds seen at most corner watering holes.
The Draw
Though beer is what d.b.a. does best, don't bother asking for a Budweiser--the bar's motto is "drink good stuff." The selection of European and other foreign potables mirrors what one would find at establishments in London, Paris or New York (go figure). The bar has also developed a reputation as an amiable "meet market."
a cool place to hang out – and try all types of beers and drinks..i used to like it a lot before it became too popular...
Drinkers with Bad Attitudes? – There's a lot to like about d.b.a. -- the muted, dark wooden decor, the extensive beer and liquor selection and its prime Frenchmen Street real estate. But be careful when you go, because late weekend nights seem to bring out some of the city's rudest patrons. Navigating through the crowd at these times can be downright impossible unless you're a contortionist with a diminished sense of personal space. General late-afternoon and early-evening "happy hour" times are much easier, friendlier and more casual, the better to enjoy the exhausting array of spirits d.b.a. has to offer.

~ The Undergraduate Program in Theology
Please take some time to check out the programs and services offered
our Division and of specific interest to you. Perhaps you are interested in beginning
college and pursuing a degreein early elementary education (grades PK-4), special education (grades PK-8), or secondary education (grades 7-12).
a look at the points of difference that distinguish the Neumann University undergraduate program teacher
Are you an experienced educational professional looking for the opportunity to work on challenges that are relevant to your own professional interests? The Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership program prepares students to demonstrate the leadership to implement school-based action plans, assess the needs and accomplishments of students and faculty, and participate in curriculum development and evaluation.
Are you interested in a graduate degree in education perhaps to enhance your effectiveness as a classroom teacher? Are you considered the field of education as a career change? Our Master of Science in Education Degree Program with options for certification in several areas may be just the program for you. See what Neumann has to offer.
The Ph.D. in Pastoral Counseling is an advanced studies degree integrating spiritual perspectives with the practice of clinical counseling and psychotherapy. It is designed to prepare students to work as counselor educators, supervisors, consultants, mental health advocates, researchers and advanced practitioners in academic and clinical settings.
Two other unique opportunities are available to you through our Pastoral Care and Counseling Graduate Program. The core of this program is the integration of spirituality and psychology preparing graduates to offer dynamic, holistic forms of healing and guidance. In Pastoral Counseling students are prepared to be licensed clinicians in mental health counseling with a solid blend of the theological and spiritual dimensions. Our Spiritual Direction certificate prepares students, lay or ordained, for the ministry of spiritual direction, assisting people in their faith journey.
The Neumann University Vision Statement reminds us that "our outreach embraces ideals and actions which enhance individuals personally and which have a structural impact on the community, the Church and the global environment." Our Division helps bring alive this vision through our Child Development Center and our Programs for Early Childhood Practitioners.
Neumann is a University that is both Catholic and Franciscan.
Our University's Mission Statement tells us, "Knowledge, while valuable
in itself, is to be used in the service of others." As you can see,
the programs and services of the Division of Education and Human Services
meet this call to service and do so in the way St. Francis and St. Clare
challenged us to serve - "joyfully, cheerfully, and consistently
gracious in the Lord." If I can ever be of service or assist you
with questions about any of the program and services that are part of
the Division of Education and Human Services please call upon me.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Joseph E. Gillespie
Dean of Division of Education and Human Services

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I would highly recommend this as a Save the Date for a couple who is looking for a stylish, classic look! The quality of the paper, the printing and the design are all simply outstanding. The design services were great and delivery was prompt. I added a little blingy to make it a little pretty. I am very happy!"
"With three months until my wedding, I panicked. I'd looked in invitation paper stores and they all gave me 3 week delivery windows. I found wedding paper divas, entered my info and within minutes I had them ordered. In three days they were in my hands! I'm pretty picky about paper, design, etc. and the quality is great. The envelopes are basic...but they were fine for the save the date cards. I will probably buy paper source envelopes to go with the invitations. They are beautiful. I'm so impressed."
"I loved this Save the Date post card. The paper quality was excellent and the print on the front of the card was very clear. The font on the back of the card seemed smaller than I expected, but I've gotten rave reviews from everyone who received it. I would definitely reccomend this post card to a friend!"
"I was more than pleased with the service from the designers. They were very professional and helpful in determining the right custom card colors to go with my wedding colors. The card itself is simple yet elegant, and we were very happy!"
"I am in LOVE with my save the dates. They fit us so well. Wedding Paper Divas were very quick to review and edit my save the dates. I received my purchase 5 days before I was supposed to! Would say nothing but great things about this company and their products."

A SlowTrav Favorite - Your personal travel advisor sweats the small stuff... so you don't have to!
Almost thrity years ago, a month-long stay in an 18th century villa changed my life forever. I discovered renting a villa was the way to travel in Europe, especially with family and friends. Our villa gave us room to spread out, space for the kids to play... we even saved money by using fresh produce to cook our own meals! More than that, it was a complete cultural experience. So in 1984 I founded RentVillas to share my experience with others. Today, RentVillas.com is an experience in itself, allowing you to "know before you go." Here's how:
Our free travel advisors aren't just employees, they're adventurers, too! Whatever your destination, we've got someone who's been there and done it all... which means you've got someone to guide you through the process, one step at a time. Don't be shy... we're here to answer your questions. All of them.
Renter reviews appear next to each of our listings-- because the best assessment of a property comes from those who have lived there! You get multiple perspectives before you go, and the assurance that you're getting everything advertised... without any surprise "parking lot" views!
Want to know exactly how "unpaved" that road is? Where the best restaurant is located? Just feel better having a third party opinion? Ask our renters directly! We'll hook you up with someone who rented your property so you can get the facts you need.
Don't take it from us... Leading travel publications and mainstream media all confirm that we deliver what you expect from us: A travel experience that is personal, enjoyable, reliable, and trustworthy.
You've worked hard to plan the ultimate vacation-- now enjoy it! We strive to help you leave home feeling relaxed and confident about the adventure ahead.

I think where I have made the biggest impact is among medical students and residents who are interested in doing the things that I've done and are not quite sure how to do it or how to take the path to do it. I think that's been my biggest impact.
My impact for the work that I've done I don't think is yet to be seen. The work is out there, and it's slowly sort of being taken up and the work that I do is quoted by a lot of sources - international sources. So people are reading it, but what the full impact is, I'm not sure. Most of it has been in increased appropriation of aid, which is a big impact - doesn't solve the problem but it's a big impact.
I haven't seen that it changes policy, which is what I would like for some of the things. But I'm also not done. I've got a lot of time to go. I hope I'll be able to, in the areas that I've been in, help to mold policy toward the area, to help change the situation, even the smallest amount. That would stop some of these abuses and improve the life for whoever the group is that I'm studying, whether it's women, or men and women, or whoever.
I'd also like to be able for other people to do something similar to what I'm doing, so that we're not the only group in the field doing this type of work, helping develop the methodology for looking at human rights abuses in a scientific manner and coming up with numbers that then change policy that then become advocacy tools. There are not a lot of people doing this and it's a new field, so I'm hoping that's what it will do.

LOS ANGELES, July 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The sensational R&B boy band Mindless Behavior is helping give new artists a chance to make it big in the music industry. The group is teaming up with their friends at Upload Demo, a new technology platform.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120719/AQ43425)
Upload Demo allows artists to submit their music from anywhere in the world via the Internet and guarantees their song will be heard by industry artists and/or hit-making producers. Visit www.uploaddemo.com. The service, which has its official debut later this month, will be offered for a fee of $100.
However, as a part of their effort to give back to the community, especially to those seeking entry into the music industry, the Mindless Behavior foursome – Prodigy, Roc Royal, Ray Ray and Princeton – has arranged for aspiring artists to use the service totally free of charge today, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time.
"I am so proud of Mindless Behavior. They're young, they're talented, and they're the hottest thing in music today. They are in the middle of their world tour, yet, they know the importance of reaching back to help pull someone else up," said Upload Demo co-founder and CEO Dino Awadisian.
"By offering free uploads through our new service Upload Demo, they can help make it happen for someone else," he said.
"We just want to help give someone else a chance. Someone gave us a chance. It's our way of giving back," said Princeton of Mindless Behavior.
According to Awadisian, Upload Demo takes the record company A&R (artist and repertoire) process of finding new talent, and puts it online making it more transparent. Those who submit demos can track their progress throughout the entire process.
Artists who move through the system to the point of a record contract will be signed to a record single deal by a new label being developed by R&B artist and producer Akon and Awadisian.
"It's an aspiring artist's dream and at Upload Demo we will make it happen," Awadisian said.
To upload a demo free of charge today, visit www.uploaddemo.com.
Qubeey, an innovative browser-free internet platform, will provide the back engine technology powering Upload Demo. Visit @ www.qubeey.com.
About Upload Demo
Created by CEO Dino Awadisian and CFO Mike Davtyan, Upload Demo is the perfect marriage of musicians, aspiring artists and label executives. For decades the challenge for most struggling musicians has been getting their music to the true decision makers and Upload Demo offers a credible and exciting one-stop solution to that dilemma. Beginning July 2012 musicians globally will have – at their fingertips – the privilege of selecting top industry executives and insiders to review, critique and even offer recording contracts.

Don't look for rising blood pressure as a first indicator of impending kidney disease if the subject is a child.
Researchers in England who studied whether blood pressure rose in children with type 1 diabetes before microalbuminuria showed up found that it did not. Results were published in the March issue of Diabetes Care.
Microalbuminuria-microscopic amounts of protein in the urine-is the first sign that kidney disease may be developing. A buildup of creatinine, a waste product from muscle activity, is a sign that kidneys are losing function. In the study, children were considered to have developed microalbuminuria if their albumin-to-creatinine ratio was more than 3.5 mg/mmol in males and 4 mg/mmol in females.
When researchers compared the 63 children who developed microalbuminuria during one or more annual tests with other children the same gender and age at diagnosis, they found no significant difference in blood pressure between the groups before microalbuminuria developed. They did point out that the group that developed microalbuminuria had an average HbA1c of 1.1 percent points higher than the group that did not.
