Last season the Hoyas made a return to the NCAA tournament after missing out for two straight seasons. Despite putting together a 13-6 season and snagging the No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament, No. 12 Virginia bounced the Hoyas early in a 10-8 bout. Georgetown is poised to make an even bigger run with only two big time starters graduating.
The Hoyas enter this season with a lot of confidence on the offensive end. With an excess of Hoyas lined up to put the ball in the net, Georgetown is deep. Last season, six Hoyas hit the 20 goal mark. Now it comes down to fine tuning and improving shot percentage, which will be a point of emphasis.
What Returns Georgetown is one of the lucky tournament teams that will keep most of its team intact. The Hoyas will see four of its top five scorers return to the roster, keeping their firepower from last season that averaged 12.16 goals per game. With Caroline Tarzian leading the way, the ability to score quickly should be the strongest element of the Hoyas. Despite all of the offense, the biggest storyline to keep an eye on is the Hoyas goaltending. This will likely be the make or break position for Georgetown. If senior Barb Black can reduce her GAA (9.99) and up her save percentage (.350), the Hoyas could make for an extremely tough out in the NCAAs. No matter how good the offense is, if Black can't stop goals from going in it will be another early exit. In their NCAA tournament matchup against Virginia, Black saw 37:31 minutes of action and gave up eight goals. A then rookie Megan McDonald took over for the remaining 22:29, allowed just two goals and saw her team go on a 6-2 run. It is Black's starter role to lose, but do not be surprised to see a change if the results are not up to snuff.
What They'll Miss Last season, Ashley Hunter led the team in caused turnovers with a total of 21 and scooped up a second-best 27 ground balls. Hunter leaves a gaping void in a defense that managed to hold its opponents to 184 goals to its 231. Hunter is a player whose intangibles defined her gritty style of play. Perhaps more importantly then losing her stats, the Hoyas will be forced to find a player to replace her voice and inspiration. "Ashley's a great athlete, not only was she a very dynamic one-one-one defender but she was very good team defender," Fried said. "Really, you don't replace Ashley in one foul swoop. I think the biggest thing we'll look to do is to make sure we're playing the best team defense possible in front of our goalies. Somebody else will have to step into that leadership and that's going to be I think our biggest challenge is to see who's going to take over that role. It may be more by committee than by one player." Kelsi Bozel departs leaving a gap in the midfield, opening up spots for Hannah Franklin and Kelyn Freedman to step in as leaders. Bozel led the team in draw controls with 51, a stat the Hoyas will sorely miss. Freedman will take the brunt of the responsibility and try to get the ball to the high octane offense.
(Photo: Larry French) Monster Season Potential With the departure of midfielders Sophia Thomas and Kelsi Bozel, expect Hannah Franklin to become an even bigger threat for the Hoyas. As a senior, Franklin can emerge as a go-to middie. With her .804 shot on goal percentage and .490 shot percentage, the more the Hoyas pass the ball her way the better. Given that shot percentage will be a focus point for the Hoyas this season, Franklin can help lead the charge. Against Team USA back in October, Franklin managed to net three goals and managed to pick up three draw controls. Her goal effort was bested only by fellow middie Kelyn Freedman who netted four goals. The two in tandem will make a great pair. Star Watch Junior Caroline Tarzian will spring back to action come February and resume her role as consummate starter. Last season, Tarzian posted career and team high numbers. As the leading point (50) and goal getter (36), Tarzian is at a crucial juncture in her career. Last season, she made the Third All-America team and was one of the 25 Tewaaraton Finalists. With new upperclassman status, keep watch for Tarzian to make the leap from dangerous to persistent threat. Senior Kelyn Freedman was the only other player on the team to hit the 30 goal mark and will likely be able step up the transition game this season. Freedman is invaluable because of her ability to win draw controls. With a total of 46 last season, nothing kick starts an offense like winning possession at the draw. One area Freedman will need to improve to be consistent: reducing fouls. With a team high 32 last season, that is one stat the Hoyas would be happy to see drop rather than increase.
Rookie Ball As if the returning bunch of scorers was not enough, the Hoyas have a new, dynamic attacker in freshman Colleen Lovett. The Wantagh, N.Y. native racked up 66 goals while dishing 54 assists in her senior season. Coach Fried said Lovett is a player who not only exudes confidence but understands the game really well and is very skilled. Watch for her to make an immediate impact with her speed and cutting abilities. Making her presence felt in the Under Armour game, Lovett has a good grasp of using her 5-4 frame in tight spaces to find her teammates and get open quickly. Another rookie to watch is goalie Maddy Fisher. With the goaltender position on open for change as the season goes on, Fisher may get clean-up time or even challenge for significant playing time. The race for starting time between the cage started in fall ball. It will be fun to see who comes out on top.
Game to Circle Georgetown at Duke, March 5 at 5 p.m. The losses Georgetown suffered last season all came at the hands of elite NCAA Tournament stalwarts. You know the names: Duke, UNC, Notre Dame and Syracuse. To prove they can hang with the top ten, the Hoyas will need to pick up wins in the out of conference schedule against tough opponents. Georgetown's first shot will come against Duke. In 2013 the Hoyas made a push late in the game, similar to the failed comeback in the NCAAs, only to fall one goal short to the Blue Devils and lose 11-10 at home. This game will be a great test early in the season for the Hoyas against an offensive-minded team on the road. Win or lose, GU will discover its strengths, weaknesses and areas in need of improvement. This mid-week matchup under the lights should be a competitive test.

How precious! Again, Congratulations.

William Walter is correct, and yes he does like to point.
It has been a long time since I lived off of 4 hours of sleep a night. Not 4 hours in a row, that would be really nice. My parents got here yesterday and have been a great help. My Mom took care of little William and let my wife and me get a nap.
We have found out that he sleeps really well if we hold him, so we take turns at night holding him for about an hour, then put him in his bed. He will sleep for about 45 minutes then he wakes up again.
After he's fed he needs a pacifer to hold in his mouth and then he goes to sleep again. If he doesn't have the pacifer then he cries when my wife lays him down, or gives him to me. No he's not still hungry, he stops suckling, he just likes to hold something in his mouth while he doses off.

Geri Halliwell
Singer Adele was the big winner at the 2016 Brit Awards on Wednesday night (February 24), picking up four awards.
The 27-year-old won the first award of the night, British Female Solo Artist, and also claimed British Single for her record-breaking comeback track Hello.
She got famous singing "If you wanna be my lover," and now Geri Halliwell has found that special someone.
The former Spice Girl has accepted a marriage proposal from Formula One boss Christian Horner and they announced the good news in The Times on Tuesday (November 11).
After making music together since the 1990's, The Spice Girls have decided to call it quits according to reports from The Mirror on Wednesday (May 8).
The five ladies, who rose to stardom with their catchy hits such as "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life," reached the decision after a conference call between four of the members.
Ready for her next big gig, Geri Halliwell signed on to be a judge on "Australia's Got Talent" on Monday (April 29).
Also known as Ginger Spice during her "Spice Girls" days, the 40-year-old pop star will be replacing her former band mate Melanie Brown, who lost a court case over the show.
In honor of the holiday, celebrities took to Twitter on Sunday (March 31) to share their thanks and warm wishes with fans and followers.
Your favorite stars including Justin Bieber, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Bethenny Frankel took to their social media accounts this morning and wished everyone a "Happy Easter."
She has the life that millions of women can only dream of, however Victoria Beckham wasn't always on top of her game.
In the forthcoming ITV feature "Viva Forever" on the Spice Girls, the singer/fashion designer confesses she had a hard time getting noticed before her hunky hubby David Beckham came along.
Stepping out for a promotional appearance, David and Victoria Beckham showed up at the Piccadilly Theatre in London, England for the Viva Forever press night tonight (December 11).
The English soccer hunk and his Posh wife also brought their sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz along for the ride, having recently returned to the UK from America.
Spicing up his love life, Russell Brand seems to be back in the dating world after stepping out with former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
According to The Sun, the English comedian started dating Geri not long after posing for a picture with her Spice Girls bandmates during the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympic Games back on August 12th.
It was long rumored that they'd be making an appearance at the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games, and sure enough the Spice Girls showed up during the Closing Ceremony last night (August 12).
Victoria "Posh" Beckham, Melanie "Scary" Brown, Melanie "Sporty" Chisholm, Geri "Ginger" Halliwell, and Emma "Baby" Bunton were in fine form as they took the stage before a massive crowd.
She always has her hands in so many projects, and Victoria Beckham's latest gig is a Spice Girls reunion to promote the new West End musical "Viva Forever!"
The fashionista/singer partnered with Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisolm, Melanie Brown, and Geri Halliwell for a press conference at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London for the big announcement.

Dennis Marunde got more than he bargained for when he pitched holiday decorating services to one of his pool customers.
"We called a client, who happened to own [several] Burger King [franchises]," said the president of Arvidson Pools & Spas, based in Crystal Lake, Ill. "We weren't even thinking about his business facilities, but when we called about his house where we built the pool, he said, 'I'll give you 13 jobs.'"
Arvidson is one of several industry firms to diversify its offerings during the off season to include the service and successfully market it to its existing client base. The company is now entering its third season as a franchisee of Christmas Décor, a holiday decorating and light installation firm.
Marunde first was introduced to Christmas Décor in 2008 at the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo. Though it has been four years since the Lubbock, Texas-based company has displayed at the largest conference for pool experts, as of press time the firm was scheduled to return in 2012 as part of an aggressive attempt to recruit additional members.
In fact, it was Marunde's enthusiasm for the franchise that reinvigorated the firm's interest in working with the industry, said Brandon Stephens, president of the Décor Group, parent company of Christmas Décor.
"Pools and spas is the second biggest industry we are chasing right now," Stephens said. "We are seeking good, quality companies that know what it's like to be in a seasonal business and that are interested in growth and maximizing revenue."
Founded in 1986, Christmas Décor later began franchising in 1996 and now is available in 48 states and Canada. Currently, it has more than 45,000 customers. To claim an exclusive territory, an interested party pays a franchisee fee of $7,900 along with 5 percent of gross sales as royalties and 1 percent for marketing development.
For its part, Christmas Décor provides training and access to business management software, as well as assistance with marketing materials.
"To me, the model made a lot of sense, and the hunch that it made sense [has been] proving out over the last few years," said Marunde. "Right now we are projecting more than double the business this year than last year. [Overall], we've been on upward, double-digit growth."
For decades, retailers have transitioned to selling holiday merchandise to maintain profit margins between seasons. However, this approach is gaining popularity for builders and others who wish to capitalize on resources in otherwise slow periods.
Marunde is aware of roughly 12 industry members who are either existing franchisees or who have expressed interest in becoming one. In 2012, four additional pool firms became franchisees and will begin offering the service this holiday season, Stephens said.
One such company is Puryear Custom Pools in Fort Worth, Texas. The firm sees the decorating franchise as an ideal solution to a downturn in jobs during winter.
"We are in the process of getting our marketing materials together, and I expect to hear a lot right after Halloween," said Jennifer Satterwhite, vice president of the company, a Pool & Spa News Top Builder.
In addition to adding a new revenue stream, businesses are able to retain their employees instead of laying them off for the winter. This is especially important to those in areas with cooler climates, where the swim season is cut short.
"I'm trying to be the kind of employer who doesn't go through feast and famine, and who keeps people year 'round without layoffs," Marunde said. "That's an unstable situation, and I don't like that."
This likely won't be an issue for Marunde, who has found alternative ways to utilize the lighting equipment for non-holiday purposes, including graduations and weddings. Recently, a client hired Arvidson Pools to decorate a barn for a reception. A guest at the event liked the work so much that she rented the same venue and paid Marunde to keep the lights up for the future event. He's also targeted a variety of other potential projects, including park districts, retirement communities and even Chicago's famous Grand Victoria Casino. If that bid is won, the job will pay a whopping $100,000, he said.

Georgia Falls In SEC Road Opener
Sept. 21, 2012
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. --- The Georgia soccer team allowed two quick goals after halftime and could never recover, dropping its SEC road opener 2-1 to Alabama Friday night at the UA Soccer Complex in Tuscaloosa.
After the teams went into halftime scoreless, Alabama came out and scored a pair two minutes apart less than five minutes after the intermission and held on for the victory. The Bulldogs drop to 5-4-1 (1-1-1) while the Crimson Tide improves to 6-2-1 (1-1-1).
"What a fantastic game - this was a great Friday night SEC soccer match," said head coach Steve Holeman. "We left some chances out on the table in the first half. We go into halftime 0-0, then come out and have a defensive lapse and Alabama punished us for it. I like the way we fought back and got a goal. It was a great finish by Meghan Gibbons. It just wasn't enough in the end."
Georgia had some early chances at the goal to start the night, the first coming just nine minutes in when Madeline Barker had a shot kick off the far post and right into the hands of keeper Shelby Church. Barker had another opportunity four minutes later, but her shot was stopped by Church.
The Bulldogs' best chance of the first half came with six minutes left when Susannah Dennis' shot in open spaces was parried over the cross bar by Church to set up a Georgia corner, but Nikki Hill's cross on the set piece rolled out of trouble.
After 45:00 shots were dead even at 6-6 with Barker's two leading the way for Georgia. Baker had four saves at the break.
It was just 1:30 after the break when Alabama broke the tie, as leading scorer Katie Bourgeois took a pass from Pia Rijsdijk and sent it far post for the 1-0 lead in the 47th minute. Just over two minutes later, Rijsdijk sent up another one as she fed Molly Atherton, and Atherton sent it past Baker to put the Crimson Tide up 2-0 in the 49th minute.
The Bulldogs answered in the 56th minute when Gibbons gained control on a good ball from Hill, and fired one into the upper right corner from her spot on the left side of the box to cut it to 2-1.
Georgia gained the momentum for stretches after that in search of the equalizer, and continued to fire shots at Church. With 15 minutes to go in regulation, Chika Ibiam had a shot blocked to set up a corner. On the set piece, Tori Patterson got a head on it but the Alabama defense cleared it.
With eight to go in the second half, Barker had a shot go wide left, and moments later Gibbons and Carli Shultis each had shots blocked by the defense within seconds of each other.
The Bulldogs were then awarded a free kick from outside the 18 on the right with two minutes remaining, and Cooper got a foot on it in front but Church came up with the late save that would preserve the victory for the home side.
At the final whistle Georgia had the edge in shots 15-13, while Baker ended with seven saves for UGA. Gibbons' goal was her third of the season - all coming in the last two games.
The Bulldogs will head to Gainesville, Fla., to meet SEC Eastern Division rival Florida on Sunday for a 2 p.m. contest scheduled to air regionally on CSS and online at ESPN3.com and watchespn.com. Georgiadogs.com will offer live audio as well as the live blog.

With only the BCS Championship Game remaining to be played, the bowl season has merely underscored the top-heavy nature of SEC football in 2009. The Crimson Tide and Gators were outstanding; everyone else in the league was about as up-and-down as a high-rise elevator.
Florida proved itself worthy of a 9.5 rating by dismantling third-ranked and previously unbeaten Cincinnati 51-10 in Tim Tebow's collegiate finale. The Gators didn't always play up to their potential in the just-completed season but they sure could put a bunch of talented players on the field.
Bama still must play Texas in the BCS Championship Game but I think the Tide proved itself worthy of its 9.5 ranking with its dominating performance vs. Florida in the SEC Championship Game.
As noted earlier, there was a noticeable drop-off after Alabama and Florida - a fact bowl play made painfully obvious.
LSU's offensive inconsistencies doomed it in a 19-17 Capital One Bowl loss to Penn State. There's plenty of talent on the roster, however, and a more experienced Jordan Jefferson at quarterback should enable the Tigers to be better in 2010.
Arkansas, which made tremendous progress from September through November, looked a little lost against East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl but managed to eke out a 20-17 win. With more help for rifle-armed Ryan Mallett, the Razorbacks should contend for the SEC West title in 2010.
Auburn, explosive on offense and erratic on defense, showed both sides of its split personality in a 38-35 overtime defeat of Northwestern in the Outback Bowl. Since the defense can't be much worse in 2010 than it was in 2009, Gene Chizik's Tigers should be improved next fall.
Ole Miss, the SEC's ultimate Jekyll-and-Hyde team, finished off a disappointing season with a sloppy 21-7 defeat of Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl. Junior QB Jevan Snead is mulling a jump to the NFL, even though he played erratically in 2009.
Georgia's defensive deficiencies didn't matter in a 44-20 Independence Bowl defeat of Texas A&M because it was facing an Aggie team with even greater defensive woes. Still, the Dawgs look a little unsettled right now.
Kentucky has settled in as a 7- to 8-win team - good by Lexington standards - and played at that level in a 21-13 Music City Bowl loss to Clemson. With Rich Brooks apparently ready to hand the reins to Joker Phillips, the Big Blue's future is somewhat muddled.
South Carolina was a no-show in its 20-7 loss to UConn in the Papajohns.com Bowl. The Gamecocks seem to be spinning their wheels.
Tennessee played a good first half against Virginia Tech, then was dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage en route to a 37-14 Chick fil-A Bowl loss. Minus a glut of departing seniors - plus junior superstar Eric Berry - the Vols have a lot of holes to fill in 2010.

U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar (R-IN) released the following statement regarding passage of the Highway conference report:
I am pleased to support the legislative package that includes the reauthorization of the federal highway programs, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and a student loan rate agreement.
The highway conference committee worked diligently to address the concerns I expressed regarding Indiana's unfair share of highway funding. These changes to highway funding formulas will increase Indiana's distribution of highway funds to a fair and equitable amount.
This legislation also removes a provision which would have punished Indiana for the innovative lease of the Indiana Toll Road, which funded Governor Daniels' "Major Moves" initiative. Furthermore, I am pleased the bill includes my amendment to help Indiana's recreational vehicle (RV) industry. The industry will now benefit from a needed axle weight limit exemption, to support the RV industry's rebound and growth in the years ahead.
Additionally, this package contains needed reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) which includes bringing the program back to solvency and an important agreement on freezing interest rates for federally subsidized student loans.

A: You need to fill out the Petition for Excess Units form and meet with a counselor. The form can be found on http://www.foothill.edu/reg/forms.php
If you request over 25.5 units, the counselor will submit your request to the Academic Council. They meet once per week and will decide if your education plan warrants an approval of that many units.

A: To know if a class counts for a degree at Foothill College, you'll have to fill out a course substitution form found here: http://www.foothill.edu/reg/forms.php. The current form requires a counselor signature. Their signature just means that a counselor saw you and helped you fill out the form. Once you filled out the form, you will take it to the respective Division. The Division dean gives the form to a faculty member to make a decision. Once the faculty member makes a decision, they sign the form, send it to the dean, who also signs the form. That signed form is sent to the Counseling Division evaluator who enters the decision in our system and mails you the hard copy. Please save that hard copy. You may need it when you petition for graduation.
To know if the class counts for transfer, you can check on assist.org.

A: The Counseling 5 course will introduce you to the educational planning tool – DegreeWorks. You can also access DegreeWorks on your own. DegreeWorks looks at the Foothill College associate degree requirements, as well as the coursework you've completed at Foothill and other colleges to produce an easy-to-read audit. The audit explains how courses taken or proposed count toward degree requirements. DegreeWorks also allows you to plan for future coursework. You can make simulations for different career goals by declaring or changing your academic major. In addition to giving you real-time information and streamlining the graduation process, DegreeWorks allows you to directly access a variety of related services and information though links to the college catalog, class schedule and other resources.

You will also need to maintain a 2.0 gpa and complete at least 50% of your enrolled units each quarter.
Q: I'm unsure of my major. Who can I see?
A: Listen to a webinar at http://www.studentlingo.com/foothill. Student Lingo videos are free, you just have to type in your name.

A: Schedule a 30-minute appointment with a counselor who can explain how to use assist.org http://www.assist.org/web-assist/FOOTHILL.html and the requirements to transfer. In addition, visit the Transfer Center's web site to learn about upcoming workshops and a schedule of university representative's visits: http://www.foothill.edu/transfer/
Q: How many units do I need to complete at Foothill College to transfer?
A: If you want to transfer to a UC or CSU, you need 90 TRANSFERABLE units. A counselor can help you understand what is transferable and what is not. In general, courses numbered #1-49 are UC transferable and courses numbered #1-99 are CSU transferable. If you want to transfer to a Private university, each school has it's own requirements. You need to check the admissions requirements found on each college's website.
Q: How do I know if the classes I took at Foothill College transfer to the CSU or UC's?
A: Check http://www.assist.org/web-assist/FOOTHILL.html . This excellent tool has many
Intricacies and they are discussed in Counseling 5 or make a counseling appointment. Counselors are very familiar with this tool.
Q: Does the date I apply to UC/CSU affect the decision for acceptance?
A: No, but it is better to apply before the deadline, typically November 30 for the following fall admission. Attend US/CSU transfer workshops held in the Transfer Center. See the workshop calendar from the comprehensive transfer center website. http://www.assist.org/web-assist/FOOTHILL.html
Q: What is the deadline to apply to UC
A: November 30th at exactly 11:59pm. Please submit your application way before the deadline! Computers and networks can fail and the UC will not make exceptions.
Q: What is the deadline to apply to CSU
A: Similar to the UC system the deadline for priority admission is November 30th at exactly 11:59pm. Unlike the UC system you CAN apply after November 30 but you would not have the priority admission. With more and more CSU colleges and majors becoming impacted you do not to be waitlisted for a major. Apply early!
Q: What is the difference between TAG/TAA/TAP?
A: The TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) and TAA (Transfer Admission Agreement) perform the same function which is to provide a roadmap to guaranteed admission for a specific CSU or UC campus. http://www.foothill.edu/transfer/taa.php
The TAP (Transfer Alliance Program) is provided through UCLA and gives you the opportunity to enhance your ability to transfer to UCLA at the junior level. TAP is not a guaranteed agreement. Students are certified after completing the Foothill honors/scholars program and given priority consideration for admission. http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/adm_cco/tap.htm
Q: How do I apply for a TAG/TAA/TAP?
A: The deadline to apply for a UC TAG is Sept. 30th. Each school has its own requirements. You can read them here: http://www.foothill.edu/transfer/taa.php
Q: What exactly goes on in TAG workshop?
A: Two main things go on in a Tag workshop:
1)Students are provided with information on deadlines and the TAG process.
2) Students are instructed on how to calculate their transferable GPA.
Q: How many TAGs (Transfer Admission Guarantee) for the UC system can I complete?
A: Only one.
Q: What is the difference between speaking with a Transfer Counselor vs. the Transfer Coordinator?
A: The Transfer Counselor can help you make appropriate education decisions, that will lead you on the way to transferring. A Transfer Counselor can assist students by mapping out an education plan, and selecting the proper courses within each quarter system.
The Transfer Coordinator can help with transfer information, and conducts workshops such as: completing applications and essays, and choosing the best colleges. Dates for these workshops can be found on the Foothill college website under http://www.foothill.edu/transfer/workshops.php.
Q: How do I get into the Honors program?
A: All our information is online. Visit: http://www.foothill.edu/hon/
Q: Do all private universities require SAT scores?
A: No, contact the school you are interested in for specific requirements.
Q: What do I do in a UC or CSU application workshop?
A: The UC and CSU application workshop introduces student to the appropriate websites, and provides information about university admission criteria. A student may utilize the computers in the Transfer Center and request individual assistance by making an appointment with a Transfer Counselor or 10-minute drop-in with a counselor.
Q: What is the maximum number of units I can transfer to the UC or CSU from the community college?
A: The CSUs and UCs will only accept 105-120 community college transferable quarter units depending on the major. Having more will not affect your transfer in a negative way. This is how it works. The CSUs and UCs look at IGETC and your major requirements first. They take those classes and count those units. They keep doing this until they reach the maximum quarter units. After that amount, they stop counting your units towards transfer/graduation BUT they will still count classes you took and count them as being complete.
For example, say you took English 1A worth 5 quarter units. You took it at the very end of your FH career so you took it AFTER you've already completed the maximum quarter units. The CSU will look at that and say, we need English 1A so let's mark it as complete, but we won't count 5 units toward transfer. And, why would they…you already have the 90 you need.
Q: Do I need an AA degree before I transfer?
A: No, you don't. It is not necessarily better or worse to get an AA/AS degree before transfer. What you need to know is that each degree objective has its own requirements that need to be fulfilled.
Q: I've heard about a new AA-T, AA-S degree. What is that?
A: http://www.calstate.edu/transfer/degrees/AAAS-TDegreeRequirements.shtml
This website gives you a lot of great information. To summarize, if you earn a specific TRANSFER Associates degree before you transfer, you can get priority admission to the CSU system. Foothill currently offers twenty AA-T/AA-S degrees.
Q: How do I request an IGETC or CSU GE certificate when I am ready to transfer?
A: http://www.foothill.edu/reg/forms.php. From the link, click on CSU/IGETC Certificate Checklist/Request and turn the form into the Counseling office.
Q: Will a "W" count towards my gpa?
A: No. An excess amount of W's can cause a student to be put on progress probation or dismissed from Foothill College.
Q: What do colleges think about "W's"
A: The more competitive a college is, the more they care about an excess amount of W's.
Q: What is a competitive college?
A: A college that consistently has a great deal more students applying than seats available is competitive.
Q: What does impacted major mean?
A: A college that indicates a major that is impacted has a great deal more students applying than seats available. A good example is the nursing major at the CSU system. Also, some colleges like UC Berkeley and UCLA suggest that the majority of their majors are impacted.
Q: I got into a CSU/UC. Now what?
A: Fill out the CSU/IGETC certificate request form so we can send a certification that you completed your General Education. We only send one copy to the school you were admitted into. The school you got into will send you instructions via email. Read all the emails and follow all the directions and you'll be set!
Q: Where do I find internship information?
A: There are multiple ways to find internships.
Q: How do I find a job on campus?
A: Most students learn of an opening through a staff/faculty person. There are no job announcements for on campus positions. You can also walk into a department and ask if they are hiring. Most student work on campus is through the Federal Work Study Program offered through Financial Aid. You need to complete the FAFSA (www.fafsa.gov) to apply for Federal Aid.
Q: Can I take career assessments in the Career Center?
A: You need to enroll in the four-unit CRLP 7 class to take the Myers-Briggs and Strong Interest Inventory career assessments. You can take the True Colors and Skill Scan assessment through a free program called Eureka. You can use the Transfer Center computers (room 8329) Mon – Fri.
Q: How many units do I need to take each quarter?
A: All students on an F-1 visa need to be enrolled in and complete 12 units per quarter.
Q: I have an I-20 with Foothill College but I also want to go to DeAnza. What do I do?
A: See an international counselor to confirm that the course you want to take is equivalent, then see Arthur Levine in room 5922 to get permission to enroll at DeAnza.
Q: My native language is not English. How do I complete the "Language other than English requirement" for the UCs?
A: There are many ways to complete this requirement without taking a language class at Foothill College. The most common ways for International Students are:
Q: As an F-1 student, do I need to take the TOEFL to transfer to a CSU or UC?
A: The answer depends on the school you want to transfer to, when you completed English 1A and English 1B and what grade you earned in those classes. Please check with your counselor for up to date information because transfer information changes frequently. As of Fall 2010, CSU will allow you to waive TOEFL if you have taken 3 years full-time at a U.S. college and have completed 108 transferable quarter units at Foothill College. The UC will allow you to waive TOEFL if you have completed 2 English composition courses by the end of the Fall of the year you apply with a grade of "B" or higher.
Q: As an F-1 student, do I need to take the TOEFL to transfer to a private or out of state school?
Each school has different requirements. Read the school's Undergraduate Admissions page. Specifically search transfer and international or F1 on the undergraduate admissions page for more details.
Q: I have college credits from my home country. Will they count toward the Associate Degree at Foothill College?
A: It depends. First, you need to have your transcripts evaluated by a Foreign Evaluation Services Company http://www.foothill.edu/international/forms/forms.php . Then, meet with a counselor because you may need to fill out several course substitution forms with course descriptions for each class.
If you are using your foreign transcripts to transfer to a university, Foothill College does not evaluate the transcripts; the receiving institution will evaluate them and will let you know what counts for transfer and what doesn't count for transfer AFTER they admit you. Make sure you work with your counselor.

Chart via Horace Dediu
Now we can actually confirm that the day the iPad was introduced, Personal Computing changed forever.
Two years earlier, 2008 was the year of the netbook. Analysts would doubt whether Steve Jobs was right to dismiss netbooks when he insisted Apple would never launch one.
And once a gain his genius was spot on. In 2010 the iPad created a new category that made netbooks completely irrelevant. The rise of the netbook signaled a need for light computers with long battery duration and just powerful enough for everyday use. Now we know the answer was not going to be just a smaller PC.
The inevitable growth of broadband pipes and services in the cloud are a perfect fit for tablets, phablets and smartphones to become a more and more frequent replacement of laptops in our daily life. In emerging markets the leapfrog to wireless broadband and mobile computing is a reality. It will only accelerate the trend the chart shows.
Microsoft has a big problem with mobile and tablets. Windows 8 is a compromise to address tablets and desktops, but it is not working neither of them. Microsoft faces disruption in the personal computing space they used to dominate. Compromises have never worked well in face of disruption.

Message from the President: Good news!
March 7, 2011
To our alumni friends,
I love sharing good news with you and I have to say, it doesn't get much better than this …
St. Norbert College is thrilled to announce that we have surpassed in this fiscal year our all-time, single-year fundraising record. We are able to tip the scales on our previous record, set in 2005, thanks to an anonymous $1.5 million gift that we just received to build a locker facility at the Donald J. Schneider Stadium.
This puts our fundraising to date this year over $15.5 million. Please join me in congratulating Phil Oswald and our College Advancement staff for this outstanding success. We know we have a long way to go to meet all of our needs, but this is a remarkable place to be.
I encourage you to read more about this in a special news release on the subject. You can find it at
Have a great day!

On Saturday, September 24th, 20,000 people joined the free fun at DC VegFest 2016, coming to Washington, DC's Yards Park to explore and enjoy the world of vegan eating!
DC VegFest 2016 included dynamic speakers; live music; more than 115 vendors, exhibitors and non-profits; a Kids' Zone; a Barking Lot for furry, four-legged friends, sponsored by the Washington Humane Society; a Beer Garden sponsored by Busboys and Poets, and so much more!
Kicking the festivities off with an enthusiastic and warm welcome was DC VegFest Emcee Jane Velez-Mitchell, who also welcomed our speakers to the Main Stage. Wowing the crowd and sharing their inspiring veg journeys were keynote speakers Leilani Munter (eco-race car driver & activist); Marco Antonio Regil (TV personality & public speaker), Torre Washington (award-winning vegan bodybuilder); Elizabeth Kucinich of the Plant-Based Foods Association; Jonathan Balcombe (animal behavior expert & author of "What a Fish Knows"); Tracye McQuirter (author of "By Any Greens Necessary"), and Dr. Stephen Neabore and Emily Kasmar, MS of Barnard Medical Center.
The Main Stage fun didn't stop there: we had cooking demos by Dustin Harder, aka The Vegan Roadie, who showed how easy it can be to cook vegan, even in a hotel room; and Naijha Wright and Greg Brown of Baltimore vegan restaurant The Land of Kush shared samples of their delicious food.
The DC VegFest is fun for all, big and small, and our Kids' Zone included speakers, a cooking demo, music, storytime, yoga, and even a moonbounce. In the music tent, Steve Gellman, Norm Hogeland and Buntopia played live tunes.
Festival-goers browsed booths by more than 115 vendors and exhibitors. Among many food vendors, Tofurky and Daiya offered free samples; meals were served up by 3 Twisted Vegans, Shouk and HipCityVeg, and many a sweet tooth was indulged with goodies by Vegan Treats and Sticky Fingers. Commercial vendors like Dr. Bronner's, Herbivore Clothing, The Veg Nation, and more offered animal- and planet-friendly products.
In addition to interest in vegan eating and social media buzz from 20,000 attendees, the DC VegFest also generated media coverage before, during, and after the event, including feature stories on ABC7's Good Morning Washington, News8's Let's Talk Live and WUSA9's Great Day Washington as well as coverage by the Washington Post, WTOP, Bisnow, K Street Magazine, Eater DC, Washington City Paper, DCist, Washington Parent, and more.
Compassion Over Killing and our DC VegFest team send a big THANK YOU to all of our Sponsors, Speakers, Exhibitors, volunteers, and all who took part in and attended DC VegFest 2016! You helped make this event a sweet success.
DC VegFest 2016 may be over, but the fun is not! Relive this exciting event with our Flickr photo album — and if you joined us, tell us YOUR favorite part of DC VegFest 2016 here!

On October 3rd, more than 10,000 people joined us to celebrate the many joys of vegan eating at our 7th annual DC VegFest in the nation's capital. Despite some rain and cloudy weather, the crowds were shining with smiles as they began lining up two hours early to get a free, fully-loaded commemorative tote bag!
Kicking off the event with a warm and energetic welcome was our special guest emcee Jane Velez-Mitchell who kept the main stage in motion all day. Keynote speakers included NFL player David Carter (aka the 300-lb vegan), ultra athlete Rich Roll with his wife Chef Julie Piatt, Kate Jacoby and Rich Landau from the award-winning restaurant Vedge, public health specialist Dr. Aysha Akhtar, Farm Sanctuary's Gene Baur, and DJ Cavem and Alkemia Earth who hosted a hip hop culinary concert (pictured above).
This incredible energy was felt around the festival — from the main stage, to the music tent with live performances throughout the day, to the kids' activity area which also featured speakers, cooking demos, and story time, and so much more.
More than 120 vendors offered festival-goers an endless opportunity to explore — from enjoying free food samples by Tofurky, Daiya, Nature's Path, and Treeline to satisfying sweet tooth cravings at Vegan Treats, Sticky Fingers, and Better Batch to picking up some great animal-friendly products from Dr. Bronner's, Herbivore Clothing, and Cocoally — and so much more!
In addition to generating excitement and interest in vegan eating from over 10,000 attendees, the DC VegFest also generating extensive media coverage before, during, and after the event, including feature stories on ABC-7 Good Morning Washington, Fox-5 Good Day DC, and News-8 Let's Talk Live as well as coverage in the Washington Post, Washington City Paper, and Washington Life.

Oftentimes vegetarians and vegans are asked the question: "…but what do you eat if you don't eat meat?" The DC VegFest is a perfect place to experience the best-tasting plant-based food around, courtesy of our amazing lineup of sponsors and restaurant vendors.
Looking for some ethnic deliciousness? Head on over to Amsterdam Falafelshop booth for some deep-fried yumminess with the flavors of the Middle East. Feeling spicy? Everlasting Life Café, Woodland's Vegan Bistro, and Vegetable Garden are a few of the all vegan restaurants you can visit in the DMV area. They are local favorites with classic soul food and Chinese dishes. We are so excited to have them join us for another VegFest. Each year, new vendors participate in the festival and bring their own unique flare. We are delighted to welcome Equinox to our list of restaurant vendors. Chef Todd Gray has been providing vegan fine-dining options in the district for some time, and his restaurant even offers a vegan brunch menu on Sundays.
Interested in the wonders of raw food, or perhaps just in need of a nice refreshing pick-me-up? Make your way to Khepra's Raw Food Juice Bar and refuel your body with fresh vegetables and fruits. Barefoot Bucha and Craft Kombucha are local kombucha breweries; if your taste buds are seeking something a little different, try kombucha!
Click on the following links to see our complete list of exhibitors and sponsors! Commercial exhibitors such as Go Chili's, Treeline, Daiya, and Tofurky will be offering free samples of their food, so be sure to save some space in your stomach! There is something delicious for everyone at DC VegFest; check it out for yourself! While not all of these restaurants are fully vegan, all food served at the DC VegFest is 100% vegan. The presence of non-vegan companies at DC VegFest shows how simple it is to eat plant-based in the district, wherever your travels take you.

The post Can't Wait for the DC VegFest? Neither Can We — Join Us for a Special Preview! appeared first on DC VegFest.]]>
We are so excited to be hosting our Kickoff Party at this beautiful venue in the city. Nestled in the vibrant Penn Quarter/Chinatown area, directly across the street from the Verizon Center, the Loft is easily accessible by public transportation. The exposed brick interior lends a cozy atmosphere to the second floor space, while large windows provide ample light and look out onto the National Building Museum. Elegant hardwood floors and terrazzo tile ceilings complete the stylish suite.
What better way is there to complement the charm and class of this posh downtown gem than to display art? Artists Dana Ellyn and Matt Sesow will be displaying several of their pieces at the Kickoff Party and are generously donating a portion of their sales to the DC VegFest.
The party will be catered by Native Foods, a vegan fast food restaurant chain which recently opened three locations in the Washington, DC area. They will be providing appetizers, salads, sandwiches, wraps, and desserts for the Kickoff Party; if you've never tasted their dishes, you're in for a treat! Thirsty? Guests (age 21 or older!) can purchase alcoholic drinks at our cash bar.
Feeling lucky? Where there is a party, there must be a raffle; join us October 2 and you may win a prize! Proceeds will help our organization to continue advocating on behalf of farmed animals! You'll also see two of our celebrity speakers while you're enjoying refreshments and delicious bites – David Carter and Jane Velez-Mitchell!
If you are interested in joining us on October 2, please register today! Tickets are $30 per person through October 1. Tickets purchased at the door will be $40 each.

Wow! We're blown away by the amazing attendance and tremendously positive feedback that continues to pour in! Thank YOU for helping us make this year's DC VegFest a smashing success.
With a bigger location at Yard's Park, came a bigger crowd of about 15,000 people ranging from vegans and vegetarians to those just curious to see what all the fun is about.
This year's main stage was beaming with speakers who inspired the crowd with humor, health, personal stories, and some simple yet delicious vegan cooking. Speakers included Robin Quivers, Bryant Terry, Dr. Neal Barnard, Erica Meier, and Washington Post's Food Editor and "Weeknight Vegetarian" Joe Yonan, plus many more!
As always, the food was a hit – from dozens of restaurant vendors to free food samples, nearly everything was devoured by the end of the day.
We also unleashed our first-ever Barking Lot for our furry four-legged guests. We expanded our kids' activity area with yoga, music, and an Ask-A-Vegan Family presentation. And we added a music tent next to the beer garden where people could sit down and relax, making the event even more festive!
There are so many reasons to celebrate the benefits of plant-based eating – with every meat-free meal we choose, we're choosing to protect our health, the planet, and animals. And the resounding success of this year's DC VegFest and the extensive media coverage it's receiving is helping demonstrate that veg eating has reached the mainstream and it's here to stay.
Keep the good times rolling and fun memories alive by uploading and tagging yourself and friends and family in all the 2014 DC VegFest photos!
Wondering what's in store for next year's festival? We want your ideas! Take our short survey now to share your experience at this year's event and let us know how we can make this event even better.

There's one surefire way to guarantee a great day at this annual vegetarian celebration: Come Hungry!
In fact, you'd better bring your appetite and a few extra hands to help carry stuff home. Here's a brief overview to help you start planning your day:
Local hotspot Bread & Brew will be serving up nachos in a Frisbee (yep, you heard that right!) and Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats, winner of Food Network's Cupcake Wars, will have baked goodies you won't be able to resist. Whether its soul food from Woodland's Vegan Bistro you desire, something more exotic like Ethiopian fare from Dama, or cashew cheese from Treeline, we've got you covered!
And our favorite out-of-towners, Vegan Treats, are traveling all the way from Pennsylvania to impress you with their animal-friendly confections.
What's new this year? Local vegan favorite Vegetable Garden will be at the DC VegFest for the first time cooking up fresh, organic cuisine. Busboys & Poets will also be there for the first time, and they'll be serving up brand new vegan sliders that aren't even on their restaurant menus yet. A small start-up, Stefwiches is launching its public debut at our event, and more!
With 26 restaurant vendors and 20 additional food exhibitors vying for your (belly's!) attention, everyone will find something to enjoy.
Come hungry, leave happy. That's the DC VegFest guarantee.

A salt that could decrease the ionization of HCOl in soln is probably
a. NaOH
b. NaCl
c. NaOCl
d. NaH
e. none of these
how would you solve this
First, I would look in my books and try to figure out what the heck HCOI is? I assume this is HOCl, hypochlorous acid.
Look at the ionization equation, since that's what the question is about.
HOCl ==> H^+ + OCl^-
Now look at the possibilities.
a. Add NaOH. That reacts with H^+ to form water, removing water shifts the equilibrium to the right which increases and not decreases the ionization so a can't be right.
b. NaCl has no effect on anything.
c. NaOCl is a salt that ionizes to produce Na^+ and OCl^-. The addition of OCl forces the equilibrium to the left which means less ionization and that's what we want so I pick c.
d. NaH.This gives us the hydride ion (H^-) in solution which will combine with H^+ to form H2. That removes H^+ from solution, the reaction shifts to the right, that's more ionization and not less so we don't pick d.

Few holidays had just passed by. I am pretty sure there were tons of wine corks popped up from different respective places. Wine is so pleasurable to drink after dinner treats. Besides, it is good for the body. I hope you don't drink it only on special occasion or holidays.
Wine has several types and produced from different regions. If we want to drink wine, the first thing that would come into mind is this question, "Where to buy it?" Well, for that simple question, wine.com is an option. They sell various types of wines, from Red, White, Rose, Champagne and Sparkling, and Dessert Fortified and Fruit Wines from different regions. Browsing at their website is somewhat enjoyable as every wine is being categorized according to its region, type and style.
To anyone who wants to broaden their information about wines, I can tell that this wine online store that I found will surely nourish their mind. In short, as a consumer you have the guide and the details that you need when you visit the store.
In some other time I am thinking of going back to this wine store to check further on their wine gift baskets which are pretty good for giveaways.

80 degrees in Seattle today, and not a cloud in the sky. It happens too infrequently to let it go by with the typical pound-up-the-hill commute, so I did the slow spin home.

From a distance: sketching children in action
- At November 17, 2012
- By ruthdev
- 2
In addition to some real-life drawing sessions, most of my sketches of children happen by referring to photos I have taken. Every so often I take a 'shoot' of close to 100 photos of the children playing, so that I have some new reference material.
When I am making quick sketches of children, trying to capture their posture and movement, I have concluded that 'distance' photos works best. That way I am not so likely to get distracted by details and 'exactness'. Using photos taken from a distance forces me to use 'prior knowledge' of how a child looks (from earlier drawings) to draw the lines that are not so clear to see on the photo, and helps me to be a bit more free with my pencil lines. (…photos like this…) I'm linking up with #amonthof #mycreativespace for the month of November. Today's prompt: from distance.

The move was announced by the government of the state of Quintana Roo, in which Cancun is situated, and the Grupo Pegasus, which owns the club.
Atlante drew poorly in recent years at Azteca Stadium that it shared with the more popular Club America, which is now Azteca's sole tenant. Necaxa moved from Mexico City to Aguascalientes in 2003.
Mexico City's other clubs are UNAM and Cruz Azul, which have their own stadiums.
