Categories Comments Great for these types of students Haven't decided on a career, looking to save money on college, wanting to be close to home (but not too close), wanting to live in a new housing facility.
Tips for prospective students Do what the instructor asks, they usually aren't that hard on their students. The most important part of going to college is actually going to class. It's tempting to skip class because you won't get in trouble, but it will hurt you in the end.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is a retired police officer who is head of security. The campus is very safe and there are dowagiac cops that roll through campus every couple of hours.
What to do for fun The student activity center (SAC as it is known) is a great place to hang out with friends. There is so much to do there, video games, fitness center, gymnasium, rock climbing, they even have lap pools.
Food and Dining The birdfeeder cafe is a great place to grab a great and cheap lunch on your way to class or just to hang out with friends.
Dorm Life I did not personally live in the dorms, but I have a ton of friends that do, and they have a blast in the dorms. But the one problem that I see is that kids skip class to sleep because they were up all night playing video games.
Academic Rigor Most of the professors know what they are doing in the classroom. There are a few that you may want to ask around before signing up for their classes.
Tips for prospective students Just make sure that you go to class, most the classes as long as you show up to class, the instructors are willing to help you.
In three sentences Its a great place for kids fresh out of high school to come and learn and make great friends in the process. There are also people that came back to school due to growing families loss of jobs etc. to get a degree here. Overall its a truly great college!

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are plenty of things to do for fun around campus. Southwestern has extensive hiking paths located in the woods around campus. These trails are kept safe and spacious with easily understandable signs. Inside the recreation building is a gym, fitness center, rock climbing room, endless pools, racquetball rooms, a theater, and a room filled with monitors and video game consoles. I am sure I did not include everything available and there is already a long list of activities for every kind of student.
Food and Dining There are two dining areas on campus. One is located in the college services building while the other is located in the recreation building, also known as the Student Activity Center. Each place has a healthy and affordable selection of foods for every taste.
Dorm Life SMC just established dorms on campus about two years ago. For a community college this is almost unheard of. What is even more impressive is the dorms are better than most four year colleges. Every student gets a room to themselves, a living area, a bathroom for every two bedrooms, and a kitchen. Besides the normal 2 room or 4 room dorm there are also suites with larger floor spacing and beautiful furniture. The security is also impressive as there are locks even on the individual doors for the students. There will always be someone at the help desk that can assist you if need be.
Academic Rigor Southwestern Michigan College is a great place to start for your educational career. As a community college they prepare you for a great career or further education at a four year college. Though it is not an intensely rigorous college they give you a great edge when entering a four year college.
Tips for prospective students Those wishing to enroll in Southwestern Michigan College are creating a great start to their educational experience and career. If you decide to enroll here there will be plenty of staff waiting to attend to your needs. Actually, students are not allowed to register until each of them has talked to an advisor and received proper guidance for starting their career goals. If you ever need help simply visit the advising office or call to make an appointment. Also, if you ever find yourself stuck in a class there are tutors for just about every class offered.
In three sentences Southwestern Michigan College is an excellent community college for those students wishing to gain a marketable degree or for those who intend to transfer. Southwestern's affordable tuition and convenient location does not sacrifice the college experience. SMC sports many amenities for all kinds of students, this includes a recreation center, learning center with capable tutors always available, and a well equipped library.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The security is always visible but not over powering or threatening in any way.
Greek Life WILD:{0>
Clubs and Activities There are clubs of every shape and size both on the campus and in the surrounding community.
Great for these types of students All students fit right in with a vast diversity in activities and groups.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The running trails through the forests across from the campus.
Bang for the buck For the money dollar for dollar it compares with any school in the state.
What to do for fun There are an array of activities from the student rec center to inturmural sports.
Food and Dining Excellent and affordable.
Dorm Life There are two new dormatories and ground breaking on a third.
Academic Rigor The challenge is adjustable to the level you can handle be it challenging or laid back.
Tips for prospective students Enroll early the classes fill up faster than you would think. Come prepared the pace is fast and steady.
In three sentences The classes are small enough to provide a very personal feel. The teachers have a chance to know the students. The facilities are perfect in need and service.

10 of 17
Categories Comments What to do for fun There are many fun clubs and activities to join throughout the year. Dowagiac does not have much within it's city limits but is close to the South Bend, Indiana area.
Food and Dining The Birdfeeder Cafeteria was my favorite place for lunch! The school also provides a smaller Zollar Cafe in the Student Activity Center.
Dorm Life I never experienced living in the dorms myself, as I was living off campus. I do know that the two or four bedroom suites were brand new my first year at SMC in 2009 and came fully furnished with separate locking bedrooms, fully loaded kitchen, central air and heat, free cable and internet. I would highly recommend them if you live far away.
Academic Rigor The classes that I took have been very challenging. But the instructors have all done their very best in transferring their knowledge into the students.
Tips for prospective students Its the greatest chance to get a full college experience with a fraction of the cost. Extremely affordable, especially for those who are undecided. It has a stellar Performing Arts department. The college has been growing and improving ever since I learned about it, 5 years ago.
In three sentences Very Affordable! Beautiful Campus. Very qualified and helpful faculty and staff.

11 of 17
Categories Comments Campus Safety When I lived on campus, I always saw security guards driving around campus at night. Security always checked in at the dorms every few hours past midnight. Overall, I felt very safe on campus, and if I ever needed help, I knew where to go.
Greek Life The only Greek affiliation with the college was Phi Theta Kappa.
Clubs and Activities I know of Phi Theta Kappa, but other than that I don't really know much about clubs on campus. There were several bands (symphonic, jazz, brass, etc.) and a couple different choirs students could participate in.
Great for these types of students Students that are looking to stay close to home and not spend a fortune on general education classes at a university should attend SMC.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The college was building a clock tower and an alumni plaza, where you could buy a brick to commemorate your time spent at SMC. They didn't have the funding for the clock tower while I was there, but recently I believe they found another person to fund the building.
Bang for the buck I feel it was reasonably priced for a community college. I feel like I paid for classes that were taught by professors that knew what they were doing. I feel like the credit hour was reasonably priced.
What to do for fun The student activities center was always fun; you could rent video game consoles, play pool, climb on the rock wall, use the gym, etc. They had a nice gym facility with a workout room attached to it. I loved using the fitness center; they had very nice equipment. There was also a nice library where you could play games or use computers.
Food and Dining There is no on-campus meal plan, but there is a small cafeteria and a cafe in the student activities center. I loved the cafe; they had the best coffee and lattes. I only ate at the cafeteria a few times, and it was kind of expensive, but the food was good. The food service people were always nice and helpful, and the facilities were always clean.
Dorm Life The dorms are more like suites. They are very nice, and fully furnished. I lived on campus my first year there, and I enjoyed it. I liked not having to wake up super early for class and having to drive there and stay all day. I could go back to my dorm between classes and watch TV, hang out with my roommates, or just relax by myself. The only thing I didn't like were the people there. Some of them were just there to get away from home and party. Unfortunately, I got stuck with a roommate that was like that, and my housing manager really did nothing to remedy the situation until it became a huge issue. Other than that, SMC has very nice dorm buildings.
Academic Rigor The upper level classes are always going to be more difficult. Math 131 (precalculus trigonometry) is a tough class, along with all of the calculus classes. General chemistry 1 and 2 are some of the toughest classes SMC offers. I always thought the history, English, and lower level psychology classes were easy if you just did the work.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you're getting what you paid for. Even though it is a community college, you always need to attend class. If you miss class, you're wasting money. Plus, try to find books online. I didn't really care for the bookstore; they never really seemed to know what they were doing. They have a book buyback at the end of each semester if you bought your books from the bookstore, but honestly it's not worth it. I always bought my books online and save a few hundred dollars each semester.
In three sentences I really enjoyed the layout of the campus. I also liked how maneuverable the buildings were; I never had trouble finding a classroom. I also liked the helpfulness of all the teachers.

Categories Comments Greek Life None.
Clubs and Activities Not much.
Great for these types of students Transfer students.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is an odd set of obelisks, and they're building a silly clock tower.
What to do for fun Fun ?
Tips for prospective students Shop Amazon for textbooks.
In three sentences There is a good program in Mechatronics, and Robotics. For transfer students, there is a Chemistry program and Nursing. I would like to see a program in programming for mobile apps, and a signature program in building robots rather than only programming them.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I do like that there is campus security. Taking evening classes and seeing a local police car looking out for the students as they leave is comforting.
Clubs and Activities There are various clubs and activities available during the day that students can attend between classes. Personally I had an interest/desire to attend, but due to having to work full time was unable.
Bang for the buck I enjoy the on campus library.
What to do for fun There is an exercise and activity center on campus, plus trails. The college is only about an hour from Lake Michigan.
Food and Dining On Campus there is a cafeteria. The closest town has a few fast food and cafe's available. The few times I used the cafeteria, I was satisfied.
Dorm Life Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to experience dorm life. I do know the dorms at the campus are new and look appealing.
Tips for prospective students Search out your target goal or degree and work some what backwards. Find out what is needed to accomplish it so time isnt wasted on unnecessary classes.
In three sentences SouthWestern Michigan College is a growing campus that has a very positive atmosphere. The teachers and other staffing personnel are professional. The set up of the campus is visually appealing.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I would say we are a pretty safe place. There aren't cops crawling everywhere, but its a country thing.
Greek Life Far as I know there is only one and its Christian based, not sure if its co-ed or just for girls? There should be more.
Clubs and Activities They have a few fun clubs, lots of good co-ed sports and have a decent campus bash. The dances could be better if people would dance, and there could be a few new clubs, but people haven't seemed to get together on that.
Great for these types of students If you want to go to college, but want to feel close to home SMC will work for you and if you don't plan on ever really getting to many places in life. However, if you start there be committed to something. Don't just sit in a class, use government money, take up air and space and then fail. That's useless to everyone!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Well I'm not sure about traditions, but we have a rock wall and how many places have that!
Bang for the buck Well even though SMC is an ok place to start, you defiantly get what you pay for and that can be good or bad.
What to do for fun The SAC is a cool place to hang if you like rock climbing and exercise, being with friends and playing games. The trails are pretty cool if your and outdoorsy person. Personally i just like to sit in the grass.
Food and Dining There are two decent places to eat on campus, there should be some better vegetarian choices tho. Less fried food, too.
Dorm Life The dorms at SMC are really nice and super convenient, however, a lot of the time students get really distracted by other people there making it hard to focus. Lock yourself in your room if you must.
Academic Rigor I feel that there are a lot of things at SMC that should be more challenging and that there are a lot of areas that need work as far as getting really good professors for all classes. If a majority of the class is not doing well or dropping the class there is a problem with the teacher. GET THE NOTE!
Tips for prospective students Keep active and involved in school activities that interest you. Know that sometimes you can't look to your professors for help, pull up your pants and get it done. Don't expect much help from the office aids.
In three sentences Good place to stay in school on a budget. Good for figuring out a bigger plan for your life. Relaxing atmosphere, but don't get stuck relaxing!

Categories Comments Campus Safety During my time there in 2003-2005, a police office would drive through the each of the parking lots twice a day and that's it -- once at around noon and once again at around five even though some classes end at ten o'clock at night.
Greek Life None; at least while I attended in 2003-2005 there was no Greek life to speak of.
Clubs and Activities The clubs I was trying to start always were shut down because the dean at the time didn't encourage any deviation from just classwork.
Great for these types of students People who will be satisfied with a mediocre education in a place where the staff and faculty treat you like a high school student -- without even a modicum of respect.
Bang for the buck Decent options for evening classes, and that's about it.
Food and Dining There was a elementary school-style hot lunch line when I attended with food that was inedible. Safer to stick to bringing your own or hitting up the vending machines.
Dorm Life None when I attended in 2003-2005, it's a community college, not a major university.
Academic Rigor The instructors for the classes would select the most up-to-date editions of the textbooks or slap-dash their own versions, and they would be WORTHLESS to sell back because they school put together a new version nearly every semester.
Tips for prospective students If you want to go to college to get a 4-year nursing degree and stay in the surrounding area, this is the place you want. If you have dreams of something bigger that isn't nursing outside of southwestern Michigan, look for a different college.
In three sentences Nursing college for the southwestern Michigan crowd. Mediocre education for the price. Not all credits will transfer to big schools -- be warned and don't take what their academic advisors say at face value!

Categories Comments Food and Dining On campus cafeteria is called The Birdfeeder. It's pretty small and doesn't offer a wide variety of food. Most people who live on campus make their own food or go out to eat in the few places town.
Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to change your major. Advisors are there to assist you in any questions you have and to help you decide.
In three sentences SMC, in my opinion, is a great college to start your education career at. Instead of spending $20,000+ a year, you pay an affordable amount and have great learning opportunities. It's a comfortable place to learn and figure out what you want to do with your future.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is very safe. There are some security officers that are varied throughout.
Clubs and Activities Plenty of clubs, just not a gaming club yet.
Great for these types of students Pre-nursing, business and fine arts students.
Bang for the buck University life-style at a community college price.
What to do for fun Go to the Student Activity Center and find something. Video games, exercise, sports and movies.
Food and Dining The food is good, the selection is varied and the prices are affordable.
Dorm Life I have no comments, as I live in town. I hear it's good.
Academic Rigor Good academic program. Plenty of options of classes to take. Classes are not too hard. The material is not super easy either.
Tips for prospective students Just be nice to others and you'll have a good time in college. Also passing your classes is another way too.
In three sentences This community college is almost like a university. It has all the benefits of a university level college. But it also has the affordability of a Community College.

Health Information
Thumb-Sucking Versus Pacifier Use
Topic Overview
Many parents of a thumb-sucking infant question whether they should substitute a Reference pacifier Opens New Window for the thumb. So far, research does not show that one is preferable over the other. Also, although parents can encourage a child to suck a pacifier rather than a thumb, they can't control which the child will prefer.
The advantages and disadvantages of pacifier use and thumb-sucking aren't always entirely clear. So there are some general issues for parents to think about.
The advantages of using a pacifier include being able to control when your child is allowed to use it and being able to take the pacifier away when it is no longer appropriate. But a young child who uses a pacifier may be more likely to get ear infections.
An advantage of thumb-sucking is that it may not interfere with Reference breast-feeding Opens New Window. And children usually stop on their own between the ages of 3 to 5. But if thumb-sucking is a habit past age 4, the child may develop dental problems. Also, it may be more difficult for a child to stop thumb-sucking than using a pacifier.
Talk to your doctor about how long you should wait before you introduce a pacifier to a breast-feeding infant.
Keep in mind that there is no reason to encourage thumb-sucking or pacifier use in infants who do not show a need. The sucking instinct in these infants is satisfied through breast- or bottle-feeding.

Hailey Suspect to 911: Billie Says She Wants to Die
By: Austin Kellerman
Updated: January 21, 2011
Adkins is the boyfriend of Hailey�s mother, Billie Dunn, and the only confirmed suspect in the girl�s disappearance. According to police, Adkins was the last person to see Hailey on December 27: the day she went missing.
According to search warrant affidavits filed after Hailey's disappearance, Adkins admitted to investigators that he threatened the lives of both Billie and Hailey during a domestic dispute.
In the newly released call, Adkins calls Snyder Police on the afternoon of February 14 and reports Billie Dunn as "suicidal."
Click here to listen to the newly released 911 call in its entirety
Shawn: Okay, well � I have a situation on my hands. I have an ex-girlfriend and she�s taken a whole bunch of klonopin, it�s like an anxiety pill that I take. I guess she got them from me. I guess she, like, took a bunch of her pain pills too, and she�s saying that she wants to die and she don�t care about life and all this bull-crap. So, I don�t know what to do.
After giving some personal information to the dispatcher, Adkins continues about the current situation.
Shawn: Yeah, we had a big blowup today and one of the officers had to get involved in it.
Dispatch: In Big Spring?
Shawn: Uh, no, no� over the cell phone. And uh, so she file a report on me, you know, for threats and stuff like that. (unintelligible) between her, her brother, and myself. Now, I don�t know, she�s just upset about it. And she�s just, you know, just not being herself right now. I�m just really worried about her right now.
Towards the end of the call, the dispatcher tells Adkins he has a warrant for his arrest. Adkins confirms that he's aware. The Scurry County Sheriff's Office says this stems from a 2009 public intoxication arrest in Snyder.
The three 911 previous calls, released by KTAB News and obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, refer to threats made against Billie and her estranged husband, Clint, but not against Hailey. (scroll down to listen to all three 911 calls)
In the first call, made to Colorado City police at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 14, Billie Dunn told a dispatcher that she was at work in Snyder and feared Adkins was going to enter her home and take something.
Dunn: �My boyfriend and I just broke up yesterday, but he�s saying that he�s going to go in my house and get his t-shirt and I don�t want him in there while I�m gone because I don�t know what he�ll take. I don�t trust him enough to go in there."
Dunn went on to tell dispatchers that she feared Adkins could take a television or her son�s X-Box. Dunn also revealed that she rarely locked the windows or doors.
The dispatcher told Dunn that it was not possible for an officer to stand by her house all day, but said she would inform police.
Three and a half hours later, Dunn made a second call to 911 claiming Adkins threatened her life.
Dunn: �I broke up with this guy a couple days ago and he�s a little �MHMR.' He�s telling me that he�s going to kill me and my ex-husband. And it�s going to be remembered for a long time.�
Dunn said Adkins made the repeated threats via text message.
�I texted back just to try and calm him down a little, but he said it�s going to happen.�
In a second portion of the call released to KTAB News, the dispatcher is heard telling the officer that it was Dunn making the request for assistance.
�(She has) been going all day,� the officer replied.
The third call was made from a Snyder police officer to Colorado City police around 4:30 p.m. on the same day, informing dispatchers that he had received a call from Adkins.
Officer: �We got a call over here from her boyfriend say that she�s possible suicidal, threatening to take a bunch of pills."
Dispatcher: �We�ve been having a big problem with those two all day.�
The affidavits signed on Jan. 7 say Adkins originally told authorities that he never threatened Hailey during the dispute, but that he then admitting to threaten the lives of both Hailey and Billie.

How "just right" is our Zirra girl's sandal? We had Goldilocks fit-test it. It's more than flip flop and less than full-blown sports sandal - petite, feminine and cute, but plenty durable. Minimal strapping provides quick adjustability and easy on-off. And the Mush®-infused topsole - with Shoc Pad™ - provides great cushioning on various playgrounds.
- Our Durabrasion Rubber™ will give you durable traction.
- A nylon shank keeps the foot stable and in control
- Open toe construction doesn't allow water to pool.
- An adjustable ankle strap makes for a good fit.
- Hook and loop strap lets you skip the laces.
- A Mush® Infused Topsole brings the absurd comfort of our flip flops into a sandal.
- A soft Shoc Pad™ in the heel gives you serious shock absorption.
- Microban zinc based anti-microbial protection
- Webbing upper.
You don't want to bring a knife to a gunfight, but you also don't want to bring a gun to a pillow fight (that would just be weird). Our Durabrasion Rubber gives you a solid balance of performance and durability without being overkill for everyday activities.
Shoc Pad™
You wouldn't ride a bike without a seat. The same logic applies for our Shoc Pad™ technology, which will give you a smooth ride without inhibiting your performance.

We work with thousands of different brands, and coordinating delivery from so many sources requires a little bit of extra care and time.

I used mkvmerge to delete an audio track from an mkv file. However, the video size was also reduced from 58.2 GiB to 53.1 GiB. The audio track was 2.41 GiB. The total file size was reduced from 73.6 to 66 GiB. So clearly there is a bitrate loss.
The compression in the Extra Options tab was set to ''none''. Does anybody have any idea why is this happening? Mkvmerge should not encode the video...

Can you play the entire video without problems?
Yes, the video can be played without problems. And because of the high bitrate I can not really distinguish between the quality of the two streams. So it is strange...
1. wouldn't it be easier to simply to a detailed mediainfo analysis on both files,...
2. don't trust the audio/video bitrates MediaInfo posts
my bet would be that there's not something fishy going on, but you either left something else out when remuxing or your audio was larger -
Thanks for the tips. I will try to remux and take out only a subtitle. Then the file size should be almost the same...

MOUNT PLEASANT – Mount Mercy College shot 48.1% and out-rebounded Iowa Wesleyan College 55-37, eventually pulling away to defeat the Tigers 97-71 Saturday afternoon at Ruble Arena.
The Tigers, with just eight players dressed for the game, hung in for more than a half but eventually fell back behind the Mustangs in the Midwest Collegiate Conference tilt. IWC lost its fifth straight game and dropped to 8-16 overall, 3-10 in conference.
Wesleyan faced a difficult matchup against the Mustangs in almost every way, but stayed in the game with outside shooting, hitting 11 three-pointers including eight in the first half. IWC played with just one player taller than 6-2, a difficult matchup anytime but especially against a Mount Mercy team that started players who were 6-4, 6-7 and 6-8. The Mustangs also typically play as many as 15 players in a game and employ a running, pressing style that made the Tigers' job even tougher.
Despite all stacked against it, IWC trailed just 46-37 at the break. Jared Callanan (Sr.-Bennington, Vt.) hit five three-pointers in the first 20 minutes and had 17 points, and the Tigers had just seven turnovers as MMC eventually called off the press.
The Mustangs eventually broke it open in the second half, scoring the first seven points out of halftime and outscoring the Tigers 27-8 over the first 9:31, taking a 73-45 lead on James Henderson's three-pointer with 10:29 left in the game. IWC eventually got back within 18 points after Reggie Shipp (Jr.-Aurora, Ill.) made a layup to make it 82-64 with 5:23 remaining, but got no closer.
Callanan scored a career-high 22 points, in all hitting six three-pointers. Brett Azinger (Fr.-Montrose, Iowa) added 14 points and Patrick Macki (Sr.-London, England) chipped in a season-best 12 points. Mike Lowe (Sr.-Panora, Iowa) paced Wesleyan with 10 rebounds. IWC finished the game shooting 37.1% (26 of 70) and made 11 of 32 from three-point range (34.4%).
Keith Kuenstling led the way with 21 points and nine rebounds for Mount Mercy, which improved to 18-8 overall, 6-6 in the MCC. The Mustangs made 39 of 81 shots and had 23 points off the fast break in sweeping the season series between the two teams.
Iowa Wesleyan next will take to the road to face nationally ranked Grand View University on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast online at www.iwc.edu/onlinemedia.
For more information regarding the IWC basketball programs or any of the Tiger athletic teams, contact sports information director Adam Glatczak (319-385-6306 phone; 319-385-6384 FAX; email@example.com e-mail) or log on to IWC's athletics web site at www.iwc.edu/athletics.

State Police said the accident happened about 4:20 a.m. on La. 82 at Gallet Road.
Troopers said 34-year-old Bryan Badon of Youngsville was driving a 2007 Dodge Ram east and failed to negotiate a curve, traveled off the right side of the road causing his vehicle to overturn. Badon was unrestrained and was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported to a local hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
It is unknown if impairment was a factor in the crash.
