What Really Matters When Picking a College
Avoid the temptation to place superficial concerns above your critical needs.
As spring break arrives, high school juniors head out to college campuses to narrow a field of prospective schools. There are numerous factors for future college students to consider: cost of tuition, room and board, academic reputation, and campus life, to name a few. In the end, everyone values these factors differently.
Cost. Cost and financial aid are the biggest considerations to prospective students—regardless of the type of school. With tuition increasing at alarming rates, it's heartening to see future students take these costs seriously. However, should they be the most important?
Unfortunately, one thing that is not evident in the survey math is whether we are talking aid availability or loan availability. These are two distinctly different financial alternatives that are frequently lumped together. Cost, grants, and scholarship are all important factors to the overall cost of a college, but it's important to start the college search with a simple number in mind: the total amount you are willing to pay (not including books and school supplies).
As such, acquiring student loans should be a secondary factor after you've made your top college picks.
Academic reputation. Many institutions offer a degree upon completion, but what's that degree really worth? If step one is limiting education costs, step two should be making sure you find employment after graduation. The academic prowess of your post-secondary school is often related to your starting paycheck upon graduation or shortly thereafter (hopefully).
However, there are caveats to this as well. Researchers have found Ivy League institutions pays better than B schools, which pay better than C schools. The problem is students frequently have trouble picking their school out of a lineup. They also tend to weigh word-of-mouth over other sources of information. Academic reputation is indeed an important characteristic when picking a college, but it's a factor that needs to be weighed against costs of the institution and the true reality of the school's ability to enable you to land employment after college.
Size. For many, after cost factors and reputation comes...size of the student body.
I was surprised to find that more than two-thirds of prospective first-year public school students picked size as a major deciding factor. It could be that larger schools tend to offer more programs or perks. However, there is no place to boast of one's school's size on a resume—nor is it likely to come up in an interview. In fact, larger schools are more prone to packing their students into giant lecture halls, where there is less opportunity for individualized attention.
Location. Out of eight factors for private school students, location ranked second to last. It's hard to disagree with the importance of cost and school reputation, but large numbers of college applicants overlook the location factor.
If you want to be in nanotechnology, Albany is the city for you. Information technology? Consider Kansas City. Certain cities have bustling industry hubs, and where there are growing companies, you'll usually find a local college that is helping to feed the labor force. In fact, it's usually the local talent pool produced by native universities that draws industries into these central locations. Granted it won't be a major factor for every career, but it's worth considering.
This is just a look at the average student's preferences. It's important you make a list of your own and keep these factors in mind when visiting college campuses. It's easy to get caught up in the amenities, like extra-large dorm rooms and cafeteria menus. If, for example, your biggest consideration is cost, make sure you sit down with the financial aid office before you leave.
Above all: Avoid the temptation to place superficial concerns above your critical needs.

Madison County High School senior Clare Moretz is this week's choice for Burger King Student-Athlete of the Week.
Moretz is a cross country and track standout for the Mountaineers. She was named all-district, all-region and all-state her first three years, but was unable to compete in cross country this season due to an injury. She was also the group A state runner-up in cross country her junior year.
This season, Moretz is hoping to defend several state titles on the track. She is the two-time defending state champion in the 1600m run and the defending state champion in the 800m run.
Moretz's credentials are just as impressive in the classroom. She has a 3.7 GPA and ranks 20th out of 128 members of her senior class.
Moretz will attend the University of Richmond in the fall and she will be a member of the Spiders' track and field team.

To report on the cognitive and behavioral attributes of 61 children with Down syndrome (DS) and autistic-spectrum disorder (ASD) according to DSM-IV criteria; to determine the utility of the aberrant behavior checklist (ABC) to characterize these subjects for research purposes; and to test the hypothesis that subjects with DS + ASD could be distinguished from their typical DS peers using the ABC. Cross-sectional design. Cases with DS + ASD (N = 61), comparison group of DS + stereotypy movement disorder (SMD) (N = 26) and typical DS controls without behavior problems (N = 44) were ascertained and enrolled sequentially upon presentation to a DS clinic at an academic medical center over a 10-year period from 1991 to 2001. All subjects underwent neurodevelopmental and medical evaluation, and standardized cognitive testing. The parents provided responses to standardized behavioral questionnaires. Cognitive function (IQ) differed markedly across the three groups. The Lethary and Stereotypy subscales of the ABC were highly significant (P < 0.001) in distinguishing the three groups from one another. Within the ASD group differences were apparent by DSM-IV type on the Lethargy subscale, which reached significance, ANOVA (F = 0.002) and t-test (Autism > PDD, P = 0.005; PDD < CDD, P = 0.002). Using a multivariate regression model, the ABC scales alone explained 62% of variance of ASD outcome; addition of demographic variables explained up to 68% of the variance. There is good correlation between DSM-IV criteria for autism and subscales scores on the ABC in subjects with DS. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using the ABC to characterize the neurobehavioral phenotype of a cohort of children with trisomy 21 and ASD for ongoing research purposes.

From the Cover:
An arranged marriage between a werewolf and a vampire.
There will be blood.
She may resist his bite, but she can't resist his charms...
Werewolf princess Blu Masterson won't allow her seductive vampire husband to consummate their marriage with his bite, marking her forever. Alone in a secluded estate with her sworn enemy, Blu curses the marriage arranged to bring their rival nations together, especially since Creed Saint-Pierre calls out to her most feral desires.
When Blu uncovers her pack's secret plot to destroy the vampire nation—and Creed—she is forced to confront her growing feelings for her sexy undead husband. Will she choose the only life she's ever known or accept his vampire bite?
Blu Masterson, werewolf princess and the only female of the northern pack, has been promised in marriage to a longtooth, the elder tribe leader, Creed Saint-Pierre. This is a move between the governing Council and her conniving father, Amandus Masteron to bring peace to the struggle between the vampires and the werewolves. But Amandus is always scheming in the background, more than his beautiful and mistreated daughter can ever know.
Creed Saint-Pierre, 900 year old vampire, has seen more than most even in his own kind. He accepts this sham of a marriage because the Council wants it to be so, and if he's in control, he can orchestrate his own plans behind the farce marriage. What Creed doesn't expect to happen are the feelings he thought long dead that the saucy werewolf princess evokes.
What can one vampire and werewolf hope to accomplish, the battle between wolf and vampire has raged for centuries. Even if they fall in love, even if she accepts his bite, even if it means his death.
Her Vampire Husband by Michele Hauf is a very quick, very sexy, very fun read. I loved Michele Hauf's sense of humor, her struggle to right the wrongs, and do it all with a playful sexuality, almost like dark little sexy romp. I fell in love with Blu Masterson, her outrageous little stunts hiding secrets. I fell in love with Creed because he could wait out the princess, give what she needed and only took what was offered freely.
Blu Masterson should have had it all, the only werewolf princess, hell, the only female in her pack. She should have been revered. But the dynamics of her pack are as sick as her father's misguided beliefs. Creed Saint-Pierre, centuries old vampire, was turned against his will because of his ability to wield a deadly sword, one that the ancient vampire society sought to use against the wolves. He's hunted werewolves and killed indiscriminately for more than a few of those centuries. And still the wolves and the vampires are deadly enemies. If only the marriage could accomplish what it set out to achieve, peace between the battling nations. But each faction schemes against the other, unknowingly at first, but as Creed and Blu become closer, the secrets are revealed. The creep out factor has to go to Amandus Masterson, a supremely evil creature that at the beginning of the book, had outlived his usefulness, if his miserable soul ever had a use. His ability to use and abuse his daughter made Blu's story that much more poignant and heart breaking. And along with her outrageous stunts, wigs, outfits and sensuality, this vulnerability is what draws Creed to her, into her, to become part of her. It's Creed's ability to calm the beast, love the beast, and see passed the scars that draws Blu back again and again, each time revealing more.
Her Vampire Husband, part of her Wicked Games Series, brings back some of the characters from her previous books, The Highwayman (WG #1), Moon Kissed (WG #2), and After the Kiss (WG #2.5), most notably the sexy and tortured werewolf, Severo. Her Vampire Husband (WG #3) has a prequel with Alexandre and Veronica's story in Vampire's Tango (WG #2.5). All of these books and short stories could easily be read as stand alone books or if you'd like as a series, but the enjoyment of the books are not depended upon each other. All have a magical quality, fae beings (Michele like the faery dust, but not your usual faeries), as well as other paranormal beings as supporting characters. If you enjoy paranormal romance, urban fantasy, or just a hot little read, try Her Vampire Husband. I was able to read from cover to cover in a single day, it was hard to put down. I very much enjoyed this quick read and hope others give it. With each book Ms. Hauf grows as an author, her voice clearer and keener. I'll hoping that this series continues, I've been enjoying it and I wait to see what else Michele Hauf has to offer her readers.
I received this book from the publisher, Harlequin, and Net Galley for review. All opinions expressed are my own.

The way such spaces are designed can mean the difference between attraction and eyesore.
"Alabama Architecture 2010," a new exhibit at the Berman Museum of World History, aims to draw attention to architecture's place in our private and public lives. The exhibit, which runs through Saturday, is sponsored by the Alabama Architectural Foundation, a nonprofit organization that funds college scholarships and works to raise awareness of the role that architecture plays in our communities.
On display are drawings, photographs and descriptions from among the 30 projects that were submitted to the Alabama Council of the American Institute of Architects' annual design competition.
There are schools, hospitals, industrial facilities, corporate headquarters, airports, YMCAs, churches, houses, lake houses, historic preservation projects — and the new party pavilion for the president of Auburn University.
A treehouse at the Huntsville Botanical Garden has its walls deliberately and playfully askew.
An architectural office in Fairhope looks like an echo of a serene Santa Fe church.
An office building and parking garage for the Birmingham Parking Authority is actually eye candy, with a glass stairwell soaring up from one corner.
New student housing buildings at Auburn are clustered around a central greenspace. "The individual buildings are good, but when it becomes this village, it's great," said Jay Jenkins, of Munroe-Jenkins Architects in Anniston. Jenkins is chairman of the awards committee for the AAF and organizer of the exhibit.
"One of the purposes of this show is to educate the public on what architects see as good architecture. And that's very opinionated," Jenkins said. "It's like that old idea from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: 'What is good? Do we need someone to tell us what good is?'
"Well, no. You can tell if something is good. You can tell this is all good, thoughtful design — and our communities can benefit from more of the same.
"It can be a treehouse, a parking deck, a hospital — all of those pieces deserve the same attention."
Two of this year's award-winning projects — the Maritime Training Center in Mobile and the Robotics Training Facility in Huntsville — were designed by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, the architectural firm that will be designing Anniston's new Department of Human Resources building.
While the AIA has long held its annual design competition, this is the first time the entries have been displayed publicly. When the exhibit leaves Anniston, it will travel to Montgomery, Mobile and Birmingham.
There are no local firms represented in the exhibit, because none entered the competition this year. The economy put a dent in entries this year, Jenkins said, because there are simply fewer projects being built.
Jenkins hopes to make the exhibit an annual event, eventually touring to 10 or so cities around the state. He'd also like to offer behind-the-scenes architectural tours — say, for instance, guided tours of loft apartments in downtown Anniston, or the historic St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, or the future Longleaf Botanical Gardens.
Because the spaces that we carve out for ourselves, they matter.
"Alabama Architecture 2010"Through Saturday: At the Berman Museum of World History.
Hours: 1-5 p.m. Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
Admission: Free to the architectural exhibit in the lobby area. Admission charged to the Berman's regular exhibits.

(revised 01/12/2014)
Description of the Award
The Roebling Medal is the highest award of the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA) for scientific eminence as represented primarily by scientific publication of outstanding original research in mineralogy. The science of mineralogy is defined broadly for purposes of the Roebling Medal, and a candidate need not qualify as a mineralogist; rather his or her published research should be related to the mineralogical sciences and should make some outstanding contribution to them. Service to mineralogy, teaching, and administrative accomplishment are not to be considered primary merit for the award. The award is not restricted to U.S. citizens. Nationality, personality, age of candidate, or place of employment shall not be considered for the award; however, current members of MSA Council are not eligible to be considered for the award.
The first ten years of the Society were reviewed at the Society's 1929 annual meeting. It was concluded that it would be very helpful if the Society had the means to establish awards to be given to outstanding investigators in America or abroad, or to the authors of contributions judged as noteworthy. The hope was that the recipient of an MSA medal or prize would be recognized as a signal honor. The MSA Council agreed that it would be eminently fitting to make provision for a medal in honor of Colonel Washington A. Roebling (1837-1926), engineer, bridge builder, mineral collector, and significant friend of the Society. A fund was established and annual additions were made to it from the treasury until the amount was sufficient to make the first award. The first award could be made in 1937.
Colonel Roebling first became interested in minerals while a student at the Rensselaer Polytechnic institute, Troy, NY. It was during the period of long convalescence from the bends, developed during work on the caisson of the Brooklyn Bridge, that his interest in minerals intensified. This interest continued during the remainder of his life and resulted in an unusually excellent collection numbering about 16,000 specimens. Many of the newer and rarer minerals were represented by type material. Colonel Roebling freely permitted his specimens to be used for scientific purposes, and in this way he contributed directly to the publication of many important papers. Following his death on July 21, 1926, his son, John A. Roebling, presented his collection and an endowment to maintain it to the National History Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC. Of the firmly established 1500 known mineral species of the time, the Roebling collection lacked less than 15 of those.
Immediately after its founding in 1919, Colonel Roebling became identified with the Mineralogical Society of America. In 1924 he served as Vice-President. He followed the development of the Society with keen interest and was much concerned that it should grow in strength and influence. To assist in attaining these goals, Colonel Roebling made a substantial gift to the Society shortly before his death. The naming of the Roebling Medal expresses MSA's great appreciation of his significant contributions to mineralogy and to the furtherance of the objectives of the Society. It was hoped that the award would not only keep the memory of Washington A. Roebling alive, but that the medal would come to signify the highest recognition of achievement mineralogy can bestow.
Recipients of the MSA Roebling Medal
Links are to the Presentation (P) and Acceptance (A) Articles
Nominations for the award consist of a completed Nomination Checklist, a cover letter from the nominator outlining the candidate's qualifications in light of the criteria for the award, complete curriculum vitae and a bibliography of published works exclusive of abstracts, book reviews, and papers that have not yet been accepted for publication, and supporting letters from at least three (3) but no more than five (5) other individuals that are focused on how the candidate meets the criteria of the award. The Nomination Checklist is available either online as an html, text, pdf, or MicroSoft Word file that you may copy from the screen or download to complete, or by mail from the MSA Business Office, 3635 Concorde Pwky Ste 500, Chantilly, VA 20151-1110, USA, voice: +1 (703) 652-9950, fax: +1 (703) 652-9951, e-mail: email@example.com. The completed nomination package must be sent to the Committee Chair and received by June 1 for consideration by the Committee for the following year's award.
The committee asks that the nominator compile into a single electronic file the nomination, vitae, all letters of support, and supplementary materials before submitting the nomination to the Committee Chair. This single electronic nomination package makes it easier and less expensive for the committee members, who are increasingly international, to do their work.
Nominations can be carried over to following years if the nomination package is updated by the nominator. Any nomination not renewed after 2 years will be not considered further. The nomination for an individual serving on MSA Council cannot be considered until after his or her term.

Sexy FBI Special Agent James Kelly is assigned to the Stephanie Alexander case. Stephanie is an international journalist who is missing, and under very suspicious circumstances. In a story that takes you from NYC to Costa Rica to Washington, DC, James must not only find her, but defray a terroristic threat against our nation. It's packed full with thrills, suspense, and romance.
Without a second thought, James tilted her face at a slight angle and kissed her, gently at first. She responded, and the kiss became passionate.
Things were getting out of control, at least from a professional standpoint.
"I'm sorry, Stephanie. I'm doing a job and I'm supposed to be a professional."
"You're a sensitive man with needs and desires. I trust you, James. More than that, I need you too. I promise I won't hold it against you, if you promise not to tell a soul that I'm afraid of thunderstorms."
"It's a deal," James said with a glint in his eye.
He looked at Stephanie, whose beautifully expressive eyes resembled giant pools of sensual need. Grabbing her to him, he pulled her down on the bed, embracing her. They kissed again, a never-ending, full-blown, make-out kind of kiss that pushed James over the edge. Feeling as if he would burst his trouser seams, he stopped kissing her long enough to remove his cumbersome pants and shirt.

Understanding Ankylosing Spondylitis -- Basics
What Is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that mainly targets the spine. Over time, ankylosing spondylitis can cause your spine to become stiffer, and eventually the vertebrae (bones in your spine) may fuse together. People have a tendency to develop a stooped posture as the disease progresses. It affects 129 out of every 100,000 people in the U.S.
Other joints areas that can be affected include shoulders, hips, and often tendons connected to bones, such as the heel. Severe disease may lead to poor posture and deformities. Inflammation of the eyes, called iritis, is common, and less frequently, scarring of the lungs, inflammation of the prostate, and inflammation of the aorta and aortic valve.
Understanding Ankylosing Spondylitis
Find out more about ankylosing spondylitis:
While it was once thought that ankylosing spondylitis was mainly a male disease, it is now known that women get the disease too, with a ratio of 2 to 3 men for every woman. The disease in woman tends to be more atypical and affect the neck and limb joints. Most symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis start in early adulthood, before 40 years of age, although young men may have symptoms in early adolescence or, occasionally, in childhood.
What Causes Ankylosing Spondylitis?
The cause of ankylosing spondylitis is unknown, although research shows that people with this disorder are more likely to have a certain genetic marker called HLA-B27. If there is a close family history of ankylosing spondylitis (parents or siblings have it), and a person is also positive for the HLA-B27 marker, there is a 20% chance that individual will develop ankylosing spondylitis under the age of 40. The odds are much lower in those older than 40 years of age.
Genetics is not the whole story. Environmental factors play a role, too because if one identical twin has the disease, the other twin will only develop ankylosing spondylitis 60% of the time.

All the 4 textures are available in shades of varying intensities - Light, Medium and Intense. Similar to Lancome's Rouge In Love lipstick range, where Lancome takes the guesswork out of deciding which colours to wear at what time of the day, the new Ombre Hypnose Monos fall into 3 categories:
Fresh & Luminous - these light shades are soft and fresh and create a soft halo of light on the eyelids - this range spans soft pinks, beiges and a grey.
Chic & Sophisticated - these medium shades are bright and edgy and inject a pop of colour. In this range, you will find violets, blues, turquoises and rich bronzes
And finally, Deep & Glamourous - this family of intense shades are bold and smokey - think deep violet, chocolate and iridescent pewter.
Lancome indicates that the eyeshadows can be used on their own or even layered atop of each other to customise your own look. I was more interested in the texture - all the swatches you see above are one single swipe, dry and with no primer. Effortless!
Michelle Phan's visit to Singapore coincided with the launch of these new eyeshadows
Michelle used these eyeshadows to create a day-to-night look during the demonstration. Here are some shots from that demo.
And the complete look - a soft, chic smokey with killer winged eyeliner ...
..... and you have to see Michelle's eyeliner - I was fixated by it for a moment (and it was perfectly symmetrical).
There are a couple of eyeshadow shades that really caught my eye like P207 Bleu de France, S203 Eclats de Violet, P205 Lagon Secret (teal!) but the one that took my breath away was I202 Erika F
When I saw it in the Deep & Glamourous display, I didn't realise it was Erika F - it was a highly coveted Asia-Exclusive shade when it first came out and the beauty community in the US, UK and elsewhere were in a tizzy. In the older packaging - I think the mono eyeshadows were then known as Lancome Ombre Absolue - it was G40. I have it and I loved it. Unfortunately, it looks a sorry sight since I was silly enough to depot it.
Here it is, side-by-side with the new I202 Erika F.
When I saw the display at the Lancome press event, I swore that despite the same name, the eyeshadow was different .. at least a little different. G40 Erika F is gorgeous but I202 Erika F was amazingly sparkly. Let's take a look at the swatches (dry, no primer):
I honestly think I202 Erika F pops a little more - there is a more iridescent finish and it glimmers even more than G40 Erika F.
I also think the base colour is a little more intense in the new version. Maybe my G40 Erika F is very old - but I thought it was just a touch sheerer than the one-swipe-wonder I202 Erika F is.
The new Erika F totally reminds me of Chanel Epatant (major love!) - it's got that same sparkly pewter characteristic. I think they'll be awesome together.
Together with these new eyeshadows, a range of makeup brushes will also be making their appearance - I don't have the details or the price list (I remember someone commenting they weren't terribly expensive either) but they looked and felt really good.
If you love iridescent pewter eyeshadows, you must must must check I202 Erika F out - I think it's a superbly versatile shade - you probably can sweep it all over your lids for day and add a smokey contour in the crease for a sexy evening eyelook.
I'm glad to see beautiful shades in a beautiful formula - these new eyeshadows by Lancome definitely delectable and the simple way of distributing them into different intensity families makes Colour Artistry easy and accessible by all.
Have a look-see and you just might fall in love with one, two or three ...
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day ahead

What is a pregnancy test tweak? - Tweakers use various photo programs to analyze your HPT to see if we can pull out a faint pink line for an early BFP!!
For all the "indents" - Indentation line is where the antibody test strip is. On some tests this line looks like it is indented into the pregnancy test, on some tests you can clearly see the edges of the antibody strip causing to insanely thin lines to appear in the test line area. An Indent occurs when the dye runs across the test strip, if there is any HCG detected in your urine the "Indention Line" will turn pink. If not the indention line will stay white/gray, During a tweak this line is often drug out.
So if any of you have a test you would like to have tweaked, post it here and we would be happy to give you a tweak! Most of the time our tweaks are very accurate however, remember that we tweak for fun and are not doctors :)
Typical Tweaking "Rules": Please take your pictures within 10 minutesto prevent drying to help with accurate tweaking. Please lay your test FLAT on a surface because holding it in the air can cause pixelation and fake lines!! PLEASE take your photos with the macro setting on your camera. If a picture is too blurry, we cannot give you an accurate tweak. Also, don't worry about getting too close to the test. We can zoom in and crop if need be.
Taking the Test Apart- Please make sure and take a picture ASAP of the test once you take it out of the casing. Once Air hits the test, it will start to dry it, and an indent line will form more visible. If this sits out long enough you will see a line, and it will make you think it is a true line, when it isn't. Even when you tweak it, it will be visible and could even be some what pink because of the saturation of the colors when tweaked. So be very careful of this!
Disappearing Line- Often, when the dye starts to run across the test window, you will start to see the dye form a line, then it disappears once it settles. Unfortunately, that would be an evaporation line. True test lines do not disappear.
Dried Urine on your Test strip- Unfortunately some of your dried urine on the test can form a smudge of a line, often times it will tend to of course be yellow, but can add pink to it, especially on dollar tree pregnancy tests. Try and be careful about how much urine you have on your pregnancy test strip when you take it. Try not to over saturate your pregnancy test.
We do not tweak blue dye tests. They are notorious for false positives and are too unreliable. Please follow up any line on blue dye with pink and I will be happy to tweak it.
Sensitivity of Pink Dye tests:
First Response Early Result (5 & 6 days sooner)-6.3mIU
Dollar Store or Dollar Tree- 25-50mIU (White case is 25, purple case is 50)
Answer Brand-25mIU
First Response Rapid Result- 50-100mIU
Internet Cheapie/Midstream tests- 10-25mIU
Accuclear- 25-50mIU
Old Equate Brand Walmart- White Cap: 25mIU/Purple Cap: 50mIU
Photo Tips: Upload your photos to your Baby Center photos and then cut and paste them in this thread OR upload them to Photobucket (free) and copy the HTML code on this thread!!
Also tweakers please do not invert test as it gives false hope. Also please do NOT mess with SATURATION!!

The chandelier was packaged very well and all of the crystals were intact upon receipt. The fixture was not warped or damaged in any way. I am absolutely in love with this fixture - it makes the room. When illuminated it creates a beautiful pattern on the walls and certainly looks far more expensive than what I actually paid. It only took me about 15 minutes to attach the hanging crystals and was very easy to install (with a little help from a friend). All of my guests have commented on how beautiful it is. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
This chandelier is BEAUTIFUL!!! I purchased it for my closet renovation and it just sparkles and shines like NO OTHER! It produces a great amount of light... I put in 40 Watt bulbs because I bought another chandelier which required 40 W so I just bought a big package, even though these can go for 60W, which would probably make them shine and sparkle even more! It was super easy to put together since the square part comes assembled, so you just have to put on the few crystals that hang from the bottom. Another plus, is that these crystals are held together by "rings" (like a key chain or think dog tag) instead of the usual "bow-tie" pins, which makes the crystals stay on without any issues of falling off. Great product, I love it and I'll be sure to take this baby with me when I move or at least purchase another one since it was a great price! :)
Absolutely LOVE this chandelier!!!! I convereted one of our spare bedrooms into a walk in closet and this was exactly the piece I was looking for to get a glamorous, stunning look when you walk in. Mine came fully assembled.....except for the crystals that hang from the bottom. But all the other tiny crystals were already attached to the main piece. We tried 2 other light fixtures from other stores before I came across this one on Overstock and Im so glad I waiting to find the perfect one instead of settling for one of the others. You will absolutely not regret this purchase!!!!
I shopped and shopped for days for a light like this and was absolutely thrilled when I found this for the price! Compared to some that I saw for thousands!! You do have to affix every crystal around the whole thing and I think there was about 600 but if you have a couple of hours it's not that hard and I am sure that is why it was such a great price. I am happy to do it to save the money for a beautiful light!!
This chandelier really brightens and adds classiness to my dining room. I wanted a really pretty look, and this does it. I also wanted something different, and the fact that it's square gives my dining room a unique feel. The added bonus is the textured look the crystals give to my walls when the light is turned on. It leaves a shimmery pattern giving my charcoal gray walls a patterned velvet look. We only wish it were a bit bigger.
I bought two of these for my master bathroom and walk in closet they are amazing!! They sparkle and light up very nicely. Easy to assemble and install.
Bought 2....hung one in our foyer and one in the dining room that can be seen from the front door. It added just the right amount of bling to our new home. Can't wait to move in and see them over a set table with friends and family!
I bought two of these chandeliers for my dinning room. it creates a beautiful affect on the wall. even though there are two chandeliers the lighting is still very dim. that's my only negative feedback but it's still worth it and i would buy it again.
We purchased this for our treatment center in our kitchen and it elegant and stylish. Very much as pictured. The light is gorgeous when reflected on the walls.
great price. two of the plastic "crystals" came damaged - but that was okay because the package came with some spare parts. i love how it looks, but you can definitely tell that the "crystals" are plastic.

Alexander Wang Confirmed As Balenciaga Designer
After Cathy Horyn's story yesterday tagging Alexander Wang as the lead candidate to take the helm at Balenciaga, we now have confirmaton via WWD that the 28-year-old Wang has been tapped as the creative director for Balenciaga. He succeeds Nicolas Ghesquière, who is to officially exit the French label today. On the choice, WWD comments:
"The choice of Wang suggests Balenciaga might wish to dial down the elitist, couture-like approach of Ghesquière, and open up to a broader audience with a designer prized for his sportswear approach and youthful energy."
Wang's Chinese lineage is significant as well (would he be the first to head a major European label?), and in an interivew with WWD earier in the year he spoke on the impact of his background:
"In a way, I know there's an audience that connects with me. How I identify that or what I pinpoint that to, whether it's because of my background or because I connect with people of my generation in New York or London — that, I don't know how to explain or quantify."
Given Ghesquière's success at reviving Balenciaga and his popularity purely as a designer, Wang as a choice will be questioned and criticized, but having covered him closely over the years he strikes us as the perfect fit–a bright student of fashion, who will understand the importance of paying tribute to Balenciaga's history with enough creative flair and daring to make it his own. And then, too, the press adore him, and with industry capas Anna Wintour and Diane Von Furstenberg as his fairy godmothers, he is pretty much guaranteed acceptance from the get go.

Alvarez has found a home away from home with El Salvador
Story Highlights
Alvarez will make history in Saturday's World Cup qualifier in Sandy, Utah
Formerly in the U.S. system, he will play for El Salvador against his old mates
He was able to switch sides because his parents were born in El Salvador
This isn't exactly what Arturo Alvarez pictured back when he was a speedy phenom dominating the soccer fields as a kid in Houston. But then again, realizing your lifelong dream never goes exactly to plan.
At the age of 24 the former U.S. youth-teamer is getting exactly what he envisioned. He'll step onto the field on Saturday in an American stadium, finally representing his country at the highest level. The stakes couldn't be higher: On the line is a place at the 2010 World Cup, the greatest achievement for any aspiring young soccer player.
He'll be sharing the field with players such as Charlie Davies and Benny Feilhaber, guys with whom he has gone to war on multiple occasions, such as qualifying for the 2005 Under-20 World Cup and the '08 Beijing Olympics.
After all the heartache of getting cut three times, struggling to find a true home for himself in Major League Soccer and failing to catch the attention of national team coach Bob Bradley, Alvarez has finally made it.
There's just one, small twist: He won't be wearing a U.S. jersey. He'll be playing for El Salvador, the birth country of his parents. And his old teammates will be trying to stop him.
To the U.S. Soccer Federation's knowledge, no former player who has suited up for the U.S. in an official game -- at the youth or senior level -- has gone on to face the U.S. Alvarez will make history at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, on Saturday.
"It will definitely be weird," he says. "But everything happens for a reason. I truly believe this is the way things were meant to turn out."
The strangest thing is that Alvarez's skills have long been touted as the type that the U.S. could use. And yet when it came down to it, he was overlooked time and again by U.S. coaches. There are reasons, of course -- some of his own doing, some just circumstantial. But Alvarez has spent his entire life trying to carve out his niche on the soccer field, coming up short at almost every turn.
With El Salvador, he has finally found it. Call it the American dream in reverse: More than 30 years ago, his parents came to the U.S. seeking better opportunities. Their son found his by going back to their country of birth.
American by birth, Azul by blood
Looking back, Alvarez has a laugh when he realizes that his very first soccer dream actually was to play for El Salvador. That's thanks to his dad, who instilled in him the passion for the Beautiful Game. Now 59, José Alvarez emigrated to the U.S. in 1971 from the port city of La Unión, El Salvador, and joined Houston's burgeoning Salvadoran population (more than 206,000 today, according to recent census data, giving Houston the fifth-largest Salvadoran-American community in the country). Like most of them, he lived and died with his birth country's national pastime.
"My dad's been a fan his whole life," Alvarez says. "When the Salvadoran national team played, you couldn't get them on TV. He would take me to a bar or a billiard hall so we could watch them on pay-per-view."
Alvarez remembers being dazzled by the likes of Mauricio Cienfuegos, Raúl Díaz Arce and Ronald Cerritos, legendary Salvadoran players who wore the colors of los Cuscatlecos and went on to have successful club careers in the U.S. in Major League Soccer. He remembers his father regaling him with stories of Jorge "El Mágico" González, El Salvador's most famous footballer and the first to make it big in Europe during nine legendary seasons in Spain.
"I never saw him in his prime," says Alvarez of El Salvador's all-time leading scorer. "But he was a god. The things he did were insane. Watching all those guys when I was little, it actually made me want to play for El Salvador."
Alvarez had an upbringing typical of children of immigrants in this country. Even though his parents held fast to Salvadoran traditions, customs and cuisine, he was a normal American kid in Bear Creek, Texas, a leafy suburb with a prominent Latino populace about 20 miles west of downtown Houston. But there was one trait that he took from his background: god-given soccer skills. By age 8 he was dribbling around and blazing past kids three years older than him.
To the surprise of no one that saw him play, the next few years were a whirlwind that thrust Alvarez up the American soccer ladder. He was snapped up by Texas Premier Futbol Club, a Houston-based youth soccer club that serves as a direct feeder to the national team system. While playing for the team in a tournament in Tampa as a teenager, he was discovered by a U.S. scout and was quickly invited to join the Under-17 national team.
He soon became a regular goal scorer for the U-17s and the U-18s, often surrounded by players two to three years older than he was. A year later he elected to sign with MLS by joining the league's Project 40 program, a system which, sponsored by Nike at the time, funneled the most promising high school talent directly into MLS. Alvarez was picked 12th in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft by the San Jose Earthquakes and signed his first professional contract at 17. By that June he had found his way into the Quakes rotation and scored his first goal and logged his first assist, all before his 18th birthday.
But the scouting report on him began to circulate: gifted, innate attacking skills and a nose for the goal, but lacking the complete game to succeed long-term. "As a young player, he definitely stood out," recalls U.S. Under-20 coach Thomas Rongen, who coached Alvarez on that team in '03. "He had some qualities you don't often find. He was left-footed and had excellent technical skills. But I felt he needed a lot of work in all facets of the game."

Denise Panaligan, a UCLA sophomore, didn't tell her mother where she was headed Wednesday morning. She knew that if she told the truth, her mother would worry.
Panaligan, in blue jeans and white T-shirt, boarded a bus and traveled to Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles, where she met up with her friend Anthony Ng. They were the only two Asian Americans at an immigration reform rally conducted in English and Spanish.
Panaligan, 19, confessed to me that she was nervous.
Because she had never stood up in public and admitted that she and her family had moved here a decade ago from the Philippines without papers. Like many of her peers who came to the United States as children, Panaligan had no idea she was undocumented until she was ready to apply for college and needed a Social Security number.
But on Wednesday, when the master of ceremonies called her name, Panaligan pushed back her fear and stepped to the microphone.
"It breaks my heart," she said of her parents' sense of "shame and guilt" over the family's illegal status. "They would apologize to me every day for the experiences I go through, being undocumented, when I should be thanking them for having the courage to leave everything behind for that American dream."
When the topic is illegal immigration, the focus is usually on Latinos. But more than 1 million of the nation's undocumented immigrants are Asian and Pacific Islanders, with an estimated 416,000 of them in California.
The older generation of undocumented Asians tends to stay silent. But Panaligan and other younger members of that group — who have benefited from the temporary protection President Obama extended last year to qualified young people under the Dream Act — think this may be a good time to seize on an opportunity.
They note that 73% of the Asian Americans who went to the polls in November cast votes for Obama, with immigration reform cited as a huge factor. They have seen Republican leaders reconsider the party's hard line on immigration. And they have seen national polls indicating majority support among U.S. citizens for a pathway to citizenship.
That's why Panaligan and others of her generation have decided to give up family secrets — not in defiance of their parents, but in a spirit of advocacy for them. And they are taking to the streets with Latinos, whose narratives parallel their own.
"What is happening with the immigrant rights movement is reminiscent of the civil rights movement, and undocumented youths are in many ways leading it," said Betty Hung, policy director at the Asian Pacific American Legal Center.
When she was done speaking Wednesday, Panaligan got a round of applause and a hug from a young Latina with a story nearly identical to hers, except for one thing. Panaligan's family is from the Philippines, and her new friend's family is from Peru.
Kevin Lee, 22, moved with his family from South Korea to Riverside when he was 9. He soon discovered that his parents had some weird rules about life in America.
"When I'd go outside with friends, I didn't feel different at all. But when my mom and dad would leave for work they'd always tell me to lock the doors, and whenever anybody knocks at the front door, you have to look out the back door to see if there's law enforcement."
That was his first clue that something was off.
"I used to have an outgoing personality back in South Korea, but these experiences made me very shy."
He was about 16 when he discovered what was going on. Other kids were applying for driver's permits, but when he asked his parents about getting a license himself, which required proof of citizenship, they finally told him what was up. He later learned they had hired an immigration lawyer for a lot of money to help, but that he accomplished nothing.
"Never speak about your status," his mother warned.
Lee did not take it well. Being a teenager was hard enough without a crisis over his national identity.
"At school they'd always ask for my Social Security number and I'd always have to say, 'Oh, I forgot it.' I was so shameful of my status, I couldn't tell them I didn't have it, and I was so concerned the school would contact law enforcement or ICE and they'd ship me back to Korea," Lee said. "I really resented my parents at first."
But as he got older, he said, he realized that his father's long hours and low pay at a grocery store, and his mother's hustling for tips as a waitress, were for his benefit.
He stepped up his studies at Chaffey College, transferred to UCLA with his parents supporting him all the way, and graduated last year with dreamer status. Earlier this month, in his community organizing job at the Korean Resource Center, Lee boarded a bus for a tour of California congressional offices. He and his friends and colleagues, Asian and Latino, told their stories in one community after another as they campaigned for immigration reform.
It's a good job and he believes in the work, but Lee said he may soon go back to school.
He's thinking he wants to be an immigration attorney.
Mr. Oh, 60, and Mrs. Oh, 53, tell me they are sorry, but they can't let me use their full names. They speak some English but because they're not fluent, they're not comfortable using it at all with me. We're at the Korean Resource Center in Koreatown, where Kevin Lee is sitting in as their translator.
They moved here 12 years ago after their sporting goods business collapsed in South Korea. A job here fell through, and six months after arriving on a tourist visa, they struggled with the decision of their lives.
Go back home and reunite the family, or stay here illegally in the hope of finding work, becoming legalized, and giving their children a chance at a better life.
They stayed.
Even now, when they spot a police car, they tremble. They fear being apart, worried that they will never see each other again. In their 36-unit apartment building in Koreatown, they don't know the immigration status of a single neighbor. Nobody speaks about such a thing.
Mrs. Oh is a server for a catering company that she says works her overtime without compensation and pays no benefits. Mr. Oh is out of work and worried that at his age that may not change. They have no health insurance and pay out of pocket when they go to a doctor, which they avoid if possible.
Was staying in the U.S. the right choice?
Mr. and Mrs. Oh look at each other, and in their glance is something universal: that ability we all have to bury regrets and put hope in our strengths.
"We paid taxes, never committed crimes," says Mr. Oh, who improves his English by reading newspapers, waiting for a day when there might be a pathway to citizenship for those who can speak the language and prove that they are contributing members of society.
Their son wanted to go to medical school and they had to say no. They couldn't afford it, for one thing. And for another, they told him, it was time he knew they were all in the country illegally.
The stress put their son in the hospital. But now, at 27, he's a UCLA graduate and a dreamer.
When Denise Panaligan was done speaking at Pershing Square, she chatted with me and her friend Anthony Ng, whose parents brought him here from the Philippines in 2001.
They both know that what their parents did was illegal. But they also know that the U.S. has long sent mixed messages to immigrants, valuing their labor on one hand and condemning them on the other.
"My parents were always, like, do not speak about it," Panaligan said. "The lawyer told us to keep it on the down low."
But she can't do that anymore.
"I'm going to tell them when I get home," she said. "It's hard for them to understand because they're afraid and for good reason. But I hope the more involved I become and the more they're exposed to what the movement is doing, they'll know it's safer to be out of the shadows than in the shadows."
Ng, a 23-year-old UC Irvine graduate who works as a policy advocate for the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, felt uncomfortable about getting protected status as a dreamer while his mother continues to live in fear.
"Our parents were the original dreamers," Ng said. "They came here for a better life, for the American dream…. They came here for us. They benefited us, and I want to make sure they know we're grateful for their sacrifice."

Please join the ACLU of Utah, the Center for Law & Biomedical Studies at the S.J. Quinney College of Law, and The University of Utah College of Nursing for a special evening with Sandra S. Park, a Senior Staff Attorney for the national ACLU's Women's Rights Project, and a lead litigator in the recent case against gene patenting before the U.S. Supreme Court, Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics.
Sandra S. Park is a Senior Staff Attorney in the National ACLU Women's Rights Project. At the WRP, Sandra engages in litigation, policy advocacy, and public education at the national, state, and local levels to advance the rights and civil liberties of women and girts. She represented twenty medical organizations, geneticists, and patients in a groundbreaking lawsuit challenging patents granted on two human genes related to breast and ovarian cancer.
On June 13, 2013 the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously invalidated patents on two genes associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and the Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) on behalf of researchers, genetic counselors, patients, breast cancer and women's health groups, and medical professional associations representing 150,000 geneticists, pathologists, and laboratory professionals.
The patents allowed a Utah company, Myriad Genetics, to control access to the genes, known as BRCA1 and BRCA2, thereby giving them the right to limit others from doing research or diagnostic testing of the genes, which can be crucial for individuals making important medical decisions. The patents also allowed Myriad to set the terms and cost of testing and made it difficult for women to access alternate tests or get a comprehensive second opinion about their results.
The court found that the patents on human genes are invalid, which represents a major shift in patent law and overturns current Patent Office policy. The court also found that patents on complementary DNA, or cDNA, are patent-eligible. Scientists can provide genetic testing without relying on cDNA. Thus, the court's ruling lifted the patent obstacle to offering genetic diagnostic testing.
Does change in democracy require civic dialogue? If so, where is it and who gets to talk? OR write?

Deaf West Theatre puts a unique spin on the children's classic THE ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO
February 7, 2010 - Kicking off its 20th Anniversary, Deaf West Theatre puts its own, unique spin on the classic story of a mischievous puppet who wishes to become a real, live boy. Using a mix of deaf and hearing actors, Stephen Rothman directs The Adventures of Pinocchio, a commedia dell arte adaptation of Carlo Collodi's 1883 novel by Lee Hall that brims with clever political subtext and sly social commentary. Deaf West's retelling of Pinocchio's treacherous journey through childhood opens February 25 at Deaf West Theatre in North Hollywood's NoHo Arts District, with two low-priced previews on February 17 and 18. (The Adventures of Pinocchio is rated "PG" for mild language and dark themes - recommended for ages 10 and up.)
Tony Award-winner Lee Hall (Billy Elliott) has created an adaptation of Carlo Collodi's novel that is steeped in the Italian tradition of commedia dell'arte, a comic that lends itself perfectly to Deaf West Theatre's signature, award-winning combination of signed and voiced theater. Characterized by improvised text based on plot outlines and stock characters, commedia uses sexually challenging language and physical comedy to poke fun at society. In that spirit, Hall encourages theater companies to "cut, expand, mess about and improvise to suit the needs and strengths of all involved." Deaf West has taken the playwright at his word, integrating ASL (American Sign Language) and controversies relevant to Deaf culture into the production. In keeping with Deaf West Theatre's singular artistic vision, The Adventures of Pinocchio will join talking and signing on stage in one poetic dance, illuminating the text in new ways and creating a uniquely rich theatrical experience.
"Pinocchio's story is hilarious and comical, full of old-fashioned slapstick and true theatrical magic," says Rothman. "But we'll also be sneaking some serious thematic material into the fun. Right around the time Pinocchio was written, something called the Milan Conference took place in Italy, which promoted the idea that sign language was not acceptable and that people who were deaf should learn to read lips. Similar forums wanted to prevent deaf people from marrying one another so that deafness would not be passed down to future generations. Using improvisation, we're working some of these concepts into our story."
The Adventures of Pinocchio stars James Royce Edwards (Deaf West's Pippin at the Taper, Broadway productions of Hairspray, Mamma Mia); Lindsay W. Evans (Deaf West's My Sister in This House); Matthew Henerson (Romeo and Juliet directed by Peter Hall at the Ahmanson, Hamlet directed by Dan Sullivan at South Coast Rep, When Garbo Talks at ICT); Tommy Korn (the face of Russienor Spring 2010 Menswear collection, Mr. Deaf California Ambassador '09-'11of C.A.D. Youth), Lexi Marman (former Miss Deaf California, Best Actress nominee for AFI Film Festival award winner Hamill); Colin O'Brien-Lux (recent graduate of UCLA's school of Theater Film and Television); Darrin Revitz (Deaf West's My Sister in This House, Linda Eder at The Palace on Broadway, LADCC award-winning productions of assassins and Zanna Don't, LA Weekly Best Musical The Beastly Bombing); Vae (Deaf West productions of Oliver!, Aesop Who?, the national tour of Big River); and, as Pinocchio, Amber Zion (Deaf West's My Sister in this House).

Ocean Hero Finalists: Carolyn Caggia
This is the eighth in a series of posts about this year's Ocean Hero finalists.
Today's featured finalist is 16-year-old Carolyn Caggia, who is devoted to protecting sea turtles from gillnets in her home state of North Carolina.
Gillnet fisheries use hundreds of yards of fishing net that remain in the water for days or longer, ensnaring sea turtles and other species incidentally.
Carolyn was inspired to act after visiting Jean Beasley's sea turtle hospital in Topsail Island, NC several years ago. She decided to undertake a grass roots advocacy effort to help save sea turtles as her Girl Scout Gold Award project.
