Want to study abroad, but worried about the cost? The Office of Study Abroad and International Programs is pleased to announce the Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship Workshop. Stop by during club hours to learn more about the application process. The scholarship application deadline for Summer/Fall 2016 is March 1, 2016.
Program Overview
The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program offers grants for U.S. citizen undergraduate students of limited financial means to pursue academic studies or credit-bearing, career-oriented internships abroad. Such international exchange is intended to better prepare U.S. students to assume significant roles in an increasingly global economy and interdependent world.
International experience is critically important in the educational and career development of American students, but it can also require a substantial financial investment. The Gilman Scholarship Program broadens the student population that studies and interns abroad by supporting undergraduates who might not otherwise participate due to financial constraints. The program aims to encourage students to choose non-traditional study and intern destinations, especially those outside of Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The Gilman Scholarship Program aims to support students who have been traditionally under-represented in education abroad, including but not limited to, students with high financial need, community college students, students in underrepresented fields such as the sciences and engineering, students with diverse ethnic backgrounds, and students with disabilities. The program seeks to assist students from a diverse range of public and private institutions from all 50 states, Washington, DC and Puerto Rico.
Award recipients are chosen by a competitive selection process and must use the award to defray eligible study or intern abroad costs. These costs include program tuition, room and board, books, local transportation, insurance and international airfare.
This congressionally funded program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State and is administered by the Institute of International Education through its office in Houston, TX. Named after retired congressman Benjamin A. Gilman from New York, the program was established by the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000. Congressman Gilman, who retired in 2002 after serving in the House of Representatives for 30 years and chairing the House Foreign Relations Committee, commented, "Study abroad is a special experience for every student who participates. Living and learning in a vastly different environment of another nation not only exposes our students to alternate views, but also adds an enriching social and cultural experience. It also provides our students with the opportunity to return home with a deeper understanding of their place in the world, encouraging them to be a contributor, rather than a spectator in the international community."
Award Benefits
Over 2,700 scholarships of up to $5,000 will be awarded this academic year for U.S. citizen undergraduates to study or intern abroad. Award amounts will vary depending on the length of study and student need with the average award being approximately $4,000 for fall and spring programs, and $3,000 for summer programs.
Applicants who are studying a critical need language while abroad in a country in which the language is predominantly spoken will automatically be considered for the Critical Need Language Award, for a total award of $8,000. Please note that this award is competitive and offered to a limited number of students each year. During the 2013-2014 academic year, 60 Critical Need Language Awards were offered.
Critical Need Languages include:
- Arabic (all dialects)
- Chinese (all dialects)
- Bahasa Indonesia
- Japanese
- Turkic (Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Kyrgz, Turkish, Turkmen, Uzbek)
- Persian (Farsi, Dari, Kurdish, Pashto, Tajik)
- Indic (Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Sinhala, Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi, Gujarati, Sindhi)
- Korean
- Russian
- Swahili
U.S. Department of State
The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is funded through the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000 and is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) at the U.S. Department of State fosters mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries around the world. ECA accomplishes its mission through a variety of international programs based on the benefits of mutual understanding, educational exchange, and leadership development. ECA programs engage participants from a variety of backgrounds and specialties.

A Camp Lejeune Marine accused of filming himself and other Marines urinating on Taliban corpses faces an Article 32 hearing today aboard the base.
A Camp Lejeune Marine accused of filming himself and other Marines urinating on Taliban corpses faces an Article 32 hearing today aboard the base.
Sgt. Robert W. Richards was charged Jan. 29 with dereliction of duty, violation of a lawful general order, and conduct prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the armed forces. He is accused of violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice for alleged misconduct in Sandala, Afghanistan, on or about July 27, 2011, which included taking improper photographs of human casualties, including a video recording of him and other Marines urinating on human casualties; the indiscriminate firing of weapons; failure to properly supervise fellow Marines; and failure to report misconduct.
The Article 32 hearing will result in a recommendation to Lt. Gen. Mills, the commanding general of Marine Corps Combat Development Command, for his decision about what further action to take.
Five other Camp Lejeune Marines have already been punished for their involvement in the incident, video of which was published to YouTube in January 2012.
On Dec. 19, then-Staff Sgt. Joseph Chamblin pleaded guilty to Article 134 of the UCMJ, General Article, for charges of urinating on the body of a deceased enemy combatant and to Article 92 of the UCMJ, Dereliction, for failing to properly supervise junior Marines and wrongfully posing for photographs with human casualties, according to archived news reports. He was reduced in rank to sergeant/E-5 and required to forfeit $500 from his pay.
On Jan. 16, then-Staff Sgt. Edward Deptola, of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, pleaded guilty to Article 92, dereliction, for failing to supervise junior Marines, wrongfully posing for unofficial photographs with human casualties and wrongfully posing for unofficial photographs with human casualties on a tank; and Article 134, general article, for urinating on the body of a deceased enemy combatant and wrongfully firing a recovered enemy machine gun. Deptola was reduced in rank to sergeant/E-5.
Three other Marines involved received nonjudicial punishment in August for their misconduct in the video.

UH Manoa Center on the Family receives $950,000 'Compassion' grant
Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project to assist grass roots, community service and faith-based organizationsUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Center on the Family
HONOLULU - The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Center on the Family (COF) was awarded a $950,000 grant to help grass roots, community service and faith-based organizations in Hawaiʻi that provide a wide range of social services to those in need, including the homeless, at-risk youth, rural and low-income communities, the elderly, and families transitioning from welfare to work.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Compassion Capital Fund awarded the grant to the Center for its Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project, a collaborative effort of UH's Center on the Family, the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation (HCF), and Hawaiian Islands Ministries (HIM). COF serves as the lead administrator of the grant.
"Our experience shows that grassroots organizations are generally focused on client services and have little resources to spend on strengthening their internal support systems and capacity," explained Ivette Rodriguez Stern, the COF Project Coordinator. "To better serve their clients over the long term, non-profits and grassroots organizations have to stabilize their internal structure, develop effective management and have solid governance. With this Compassion Capital grant, we can provide these organizations with the resources to help them achieve those ends."
The objective of the Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project is to build the knowledge and capacity of local community and faith-based organizations through training workshops, technical assistance, customized training, and grant funds.
The project will utilize a two-tiered approach to achieve this objective. Training workshops on leadership development, organizational development, program and services, funding, and community engagement will be conducted for all interested community and faith-based organizations in the state.
Project partners will also identify up to 40 community and faith-based organizations to participate in the Fellows Program, a more intensive and targeted capacity building program. Organizations selected for this program will receive individualized organizational assessments that will identify areas in need of strengthening, technical assistance from a cadre of coaches, and the opportunity to apply for grants to support capacity building initiatives. Two representatives from each organization will also be required to attend training sessions covering a range of capacity building subjects.
This is the second time the Center on the Family has received a grant from the Compassion Capital Fund to conduct organizational capacity building initiatives for local organizations. In 2002, COF was awarded $1.8 million to conduct the Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project as a three-year demonstration project. The first Hawaiʻi Moving Forward project provided the intensive training (Fellows) program to representatives from 25 organizations. The Hawaiʻi Community Foundation provided a 50 percent match to the federal grant.
In addition to the Fellows Program, 23 capacity building workshops have been conducted, either through large conferences or individual training events, to more than 1,100 representatives from faith and community organizations throughout the state.
Hawaiʻi Moving Forward is one of 20 programs funded in 2005. Public information meetings for organizations interested in participating in the Fellows Program will be conducted in early November and applications will be made available then. Registration information for the larger capacity building workshops will be announced as they are scheduled. For more information or to be placed on the Hawaiʻi Moving Forward email list, interested organizations should contact the Center on the Family at 956-4132.

'Police, camera, action' … literally!Leave a Comment
Police officers across West Yorkshire are to be fitted with smartphone-sized wearable cameras when called out to incidents in an effort to increase transparency and improve public confidence.
The move announced by West Yorkshire Police is part of a research project with Cambridge University and will see 160 body-worn cameras used by a number of different front-line response officers.
Head cameras are already used on occasion by officers investigating domestic violence but the new technology, which will be in place from this month, will be used much more widely.
Bosses will assess how well the cameras work in providing data and evidence to potentially be used in court before deciding whether to introduce the devices on a permanent basis around the county.
West Yorkshire Police officers will also be told to contact their control room whenever they carry out a 'stop and search', after concerns were raised by young people and members of minority communities.
Information about the search provided by the officer will be put directly onto a computer system, meaning information about the incident is available to be scrutinised later.
Chief Constable Mark Gilmore said the change would "enhance openness and accountability" and also "avoid lengthy form filling at a scene and reduces inconvenience to the public and officers".

We believe it takes a village to heal a village. It's our hope that both providers and patients will use the knowledge they've gained to go out into the world and empower others, working together to bring compassionate care to a community far greater than our clinic.
Our many practitioners have a broad range of expertise. By sharing our collective insight, we can better create a comprehensive, customized plan for your overall health.

We combine centuries-old natural medicine practices with modern modalities to provide you with the health and well-being services that best fit your needs.

1-1/4 yards solid brown (sashing, border, binding)
2-1/2 yards backing fabric
45x52" batting

Quantities are for 44/45"-wide, 100% cotton fabrics.

Tips on Sewing Flannel
Prewash flannel because it tends to shrink. Since flannel is a medium-weight fabric, use a larger needle, such as 90/14. Flannel also has a tendency to stretch, so pin more than you normally would or stitch with a walking foot.

You'll be able to disable them Thursday. At that point I'll cut the SD website over to use SD-DD as the display data source. If you need to do it sooner, PM me and I'll provide instructions.
Ok, now that the switch is done, I double-checked my channels. I now have a bunch of channels that keep getting added in mythtv that the web interface says are already disabled. Most of these are PPV or On Demand channels. Some, but not all, of them are not even listed on the official listings from my provider. I'm missing at least one channel. One channel's callsign (and lineup id) was changed from the actual affiliate to the local retransmitter's callsign (and lineup id). Both show up in my listings even though only the latter is listed in the web interface. One channel is just plain the wrong channel. Also, a few channels that were previously enabled are now disabled. Not a big deal, I can just reenable them again.

ROYAL OAK (AP) -- The Detroit Zoological Society plans to send school supplies to rural communities along the Amazon River.
From April 6-15, DZS staff members and volunteers are to deliver the supplies that were bought with donations to the Peru Adopt-A-School program.
The volunteers travel to Peru at their own expense. They'll work with zoological society staff passing out books, paper and supplies to hundreds of students in remote villages.
According to DZS, Peru Adopt-A-School donations provided more than 3,000 students and teachers with educational materials and training in 58 communities during the 2011-12 school year.
The Detroit Zoological Society is a nonprofit that operates the Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Zoo.

Neil Hanvey, the terminally ill cancer patient who inspired the hashtag #rogueonewish to get to see the movie before it's release, died Monday in hospice care in England, his family announced.
Hanvey's wife Andrea set up a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for St. Michael's. And shared the following statement:
"On behalf of all our family we would like to thank everyone who has passed on their condolences following Neil's death last night... We would also like to thank the tens of thousands of people who supported the #RogueOneWish campaign. All the messages of love during the past week have given us a great deal of comfort during a very difficult time.

All donations at Neil's funeral will go to the Hospice's Family Support team and will be used to fund work with children and young people."
Rest in peace, Neil Hanvey.

Speaking as the company released its results, Teyssen said: "If, like E.on, you know how to pull the right levers in an intelligent regulatory environment, electricity from renewable energies can be very reasonably priced."
At a prime northern Texas site with up to a high 5,000 annual full-load hours, "our newest project will have electricity generation costs of EUR 0.032 per kilowatt hour, when commissioned in 2015," he said.
In contrast to the German support system, "US electricity customers don't have to pay subsidies", he said.
Teyssen did not mention the US production tax credit currently worth about $0.023/kWh (EUR 0.017/kWh) for wind generation, which benefits generator companies such as E.on.
If support rates are not reduced, Germany's onshore wind projects receiving the basic feed-in tariff will earn EUR 0.0465/kWh and new projects EUR 0.0853/kWh in 2015.
Teyssen's comments came as the company announced its 1H results. E.on said underlying net income fell by 42% to EUR 1.9 billion between April and June.

Truck water pump can spray water about one city block
Staff writer
According to Marion fire chief Mike Regnier, the 8-cylinder engine of the department's 2005 International 4,300 city pumper truck is like a regular truck of that model, except for the fact that it also helps power a pump that can disperse 1,250 gallons of water per minute.
"When the pump runs during a fire, it's like putting miles on the truck," Regnier said. "We stop, put the truck in neutral, and put the pump in gear."
Once the pump is in gear, firefighters put the engine back into to drive to allow the engine to power the pump during which the odometer also goes up.
Firefighters generally start the pump at a lower pressure to avoid damaging city hydrants and water pipes, but increase the pressure for normal operation.
"We can't start the pump at full pressure because we could suck the pipes out of the ground," Renier said, "It's like that in any town."
The International's water pump has a digital display that firefighters both monitor and adjust water pressure and rpm's depending on what hoses are in use.
Firefighters can also engage levers that tell the system to mix foam in with the water, circulate water within the system without dispersing it, and drain water off.
"A hose has about 100 psi during normal use and takes two or three guys to run," Regnier said. "The International's deck gun normally operates at 750 psi but can be increased to 1,250 psi if needed."
The deck gun's design allows one person to disperse a large amount of water without losing their footing or their balance. Firefighters operate it from on top of the truck but can also remove and resituate it if needed.
Pressures in the deck gun can shoot water from where the truck sits at the fire department all the way over Main Street, he said, which is about one city block.
"Thankfully the International doesn't get very many miles in a year but when we are on a call we never shut it off," Regnier said. "In a year, it's driven maybe 40 miles but has about 40 hours of run time."
Since it is a city truck, most of the calls it is used are near the fire station, and like other department trucks, the International's is refueled after every call.
The water-holding tank is also refilled if needed. It has a 750-gallon capacity. However, if there is a fire in an area where there are no hydrants, hoses can also be attached to 2,500-gallon tank that are delivered by the tanker truck.
Regnier and other firefighters do regular monthly maintenance on department trucks that includes routine oil, antifreeze, and tie pressure checks.
Trucks are also scheduled regular annual inspections, usually in January, conducted by mechanics at the city shop.
He said annual checkups consist of an examination of the entire truck, a routine filter and oil change, as well as a check of all other fluids.
Regnier has been part of the fire department for 39 years and was appointed as fire chief about nine years ago. When he was 20, he was asked to join up after helping firefighters maneuver fire hoses during a blaze at the city shop.
"My wife says I don't know when to say when," Regnier joked.

Wrong Guy
Down Home Press, Oct 1, 2005 - Biography & Autobiography - 291 pages
Lawyer Cook isn't living the life he had in mind. He's back in Holly Hill, the Georgia hometown he thought he'd left behind, living in a rundown mobile home. His wife has abandoned him, and he's been laid off as an arson investigator. Still he gets a call on a cold January night. A black church has burned and a body has been found inside. Arson it is, and a suspect quickly surfaces. A white loner fired from his job in a dispute over a Confederate flag decal had been making veiled threats. But this is not Cook's case alone. A federal agent arrives, sent to make clear that a resurgence of old-style Southern hatred will not be tolerated. National reporters descend on Holly Hill, including one who doesn't worry about facts getting in the way of a good story. To complicate matters, the dead man's sister-in-law believes Cook is pursuing the wrong guy. Fast-paced and suspenseful, Wrong Guy is a vivid portrait of the complexity of the modern South and a chilling lesson that truth has little chance against perception in a media-saturated world.

Black Friday Linux Netbook Specials
Update: I discovered some nice Linux netbooks last year while writing this article, Black Friday 2010 is all about Linux-based tablets and that's what I'm shopping for. Check out my latest post Black Friday 2010 Tablet Deals. I've listed my favorite tablets launching on or close to Black Friday along with their specs and price tag.
Every year in the US, the Friday after Thanksgiving shoppers get up early and squeeze into stores everywhere to save a few bucks on holiday purchases. While saving money on new Linux Netbooks appeals to most Linux geeks, crowds of people and checkout lines often do not. Here's two options for the geek who wants to get in and get out while still getting a great deal on a new Linux Netbook or laptop.
First of all, if you don't need to buy a laptop or Netbook with Linux pre-installed you can find a large selection of Black Friday Netbook specials over at ZDNet. Many of these make excellent candidates for installing lightweight distros like Xubuntu, Puppy, and Vector after you purchase them. My personal favorite is the Acer Aspire One Netbook with a 10'1″ screen, 1GB RAM, and a 160GB hard drive for $149 in Office Max stores the morning of November 27th.
If you're looking to find a discounted Netbook with Linux installed your best bet may be the Dell Vostro A90 Netbook which has been released as the "The Ideal Mobile Business Internet Companion" providing an excellent solution for lightweight computing on the go. Best of all this Dell Netbook comes pre-installed with Ubuntu 8.04.
If it's Linux training you're after, we will have site wide discounts on various types of Linux desktop and server training materials will be available at BeginLinux.com throughout the week of November 22nd, 2010. (Black Friday) Linux training specials and discount codes will be launched from the @beginlinux Twitter account.
Anyone else find any hot Linux Netbook deals being rolled out? Please comment.


text: At last! Today is the release date of House of Ghosts, the latest independent film by Chris Mihm. As many of you know, Chris has been producing these movies, which are loving homages to the B-Movies of the 50s, for several years and has been quite successful at it. He routinely racks up awards and the movies are frequently shown at film festivals, conventions and drive-ins all over the country and the world. He is an inspiration to all us independent creators out here in Internet-land. This latest movie is a bit different from its predecessors, which all focused on the monster or sci-fi genres. This one is an homage to William Castle, master of the cinematic gimmick. My copy has been pre-ordered for a while, so I hope to have it by the long weekend. I'll post a detailed review here as soon as I watch it.

Shayanna Jenkins didn't talk much to police about the murder of Odin Lloyd, but what she said while she did was significant.
According to the Boston Globe, records released on Tuesday indicate that Jenkins, who is engaged to be married to Hernandez, began crying when she learned that Lloyd had been killed. Lloyd, 27, had been dating Jenkins' sister.
Jenkins also told police that Lloyd was a marijuana dealer whose phone constantly was ringing. Per the Globe, Jenkins told police "she often overheard [Lloyd] speaking in a 'lingo' that she interpreted as code words for marijuana transactions."
While Jenkins was talking to police, Hernandez called and explained that his "sports agent said she should not speak with police" without an attorney in the room. Hernandez is represented by David Dunn of Athletes First. Jenkins complied with the instruction.
Unless she plans to invoke the Fifth Amendment or marries Hernandez soon, Jenkins won't be able to decline to speak if/when she's called to testify before the grand jury investigation the case.
And it sounds like she has information that could shed more light on the situation.

Drug policy at schools up for revision
Farmer proposes random drug tests for students
Should students at Valdez City Schools be subject to random drug testing?
The question was brought to the forefront at a regular school board meeting Sept. 24 when school board member Dawn Farmer said she hoped the board would explore random drug testing of student athletes at Valdez High School.
The board of education was poised to begin discussions on needed updates to its drug policy, mainly due to the fact that disciplinary measures differ between sixth grade students and the seventh and eighth graders who all attend the same school. The difference in discipline stems from the fact that when the current policy was approved in 2006, sixth grade students were attending Hermon Hutchens Elementary School. At the beginning of this school year, sixth graders moved to Gilson Jr. High and it changed its name to Gilson Middle School.
A new urgency entered the discussions when the parent of a seventh grader at Gilson Middle School addressed the board claiming a sixth grade student tried to sell her child drugs during class.
"It was in culinary arts class for Pete's sake," she said.
Parent Casey Sodergren asked the board to crack down hard on what she perceived to be a drug culture at the high school and asked the board to impose stiffer penalties on offenders.
"It is around every corner in our schools," Sodergren complained, "Our policy is not strong enough."
The suggestion that random drug testing of all higher-grade students should be implemented soon followed. Closing the high school campus at lunch hour, random locker searches and other measures such as car searches were mentioned as ways to curb student drug use at the school.
On the surface, the incident was alarming. However, Bill Comer, Valdez police chief, said the incident - while of great concern – did not actually involve illicit drugs.
Comer said it appeared a sixth grade student may have brought lawn clippings to class and attempted to sell them as drugs. It was unclear as to what motivated the bunko sale.
A third student reported the incident and police interrogated both students involved.
It appeared to be a funny incident, if the topic was not so serious.
Comer said the police department will be as actively involved as the board asks it to be.
"I'll be part of any discussion," he said, "I'll carry the flags, whatever flags they want me to carry."
Rod Morrison, principal at Gilson, said he could not discuss particulars of the case or what remedies or disciplinary measures were imposed.
Morrison did say the district policy calls for a one day suspension for a first offense, that can be set aside and converted to an in-school if the student is put into appropriate drug counseling in a timely fashion.
Jacob Jensen, district superintendent for Valdez City Schools, also declined to elaborate on the case but did quote district policy. He said the district has students drug tested in the event of such incidents.
"I really don't have a comment other than that," he said.
Jensen said the board is looking to form a new committee to advise the school board on revisions to the district's drug policy and will welcome any member of the community to join once the board is ready to take action.

Saturn is the only planet visable to us at night this June. Face south at dusk, and you'll see Saturn near a star of similar brightness — Spica in Virgo. Saturn is significantly higher in the sky than Spica and a bit to its right as you face south. The ringed planet is now well placed for evening viewing, and remains in the evening sky until late September 2011.
Mars and Jupiter are now higher in the pre-dawn sky. Jupiter, set against a background of very dim stars, dominates the eastern sky at dawn. Mars is dimmer and much lower in the east northeast. It has fully emerged from the sun's glare, however, and will brighten slightly each morning. Venus does not rise until morning twilight. Look for it very low in the east northeast as day breaks.
The Big Dipper is above the North Star, with its handle pointing up. From that handle, you can "arc to Arcturus" and then "speed on to Spica;" those stars are in the south at dusk. Leo the Lion, is high in the west at dusk.
Antares, brightest star of Scorpius, the Scorpion, is in the southeast, with the 'teapot' of Sagittarius rising behind it. The Summer Triangle has fully risen in the northeast. The stars of summer are here.
Moon Phases in June 2011:
New Moon June 1, 4:02 p.m.
1st Quarter June 8, 9:09 p.m.
Full Moon June 15, 3:12 p.m.
Last Quarter June 23, 6:48 a.m.
photo credit: Kıvanç Niş
The full moon of June 15 passes through the Earth's shadow, causing a total eclipse of the Moon. Unfortunately, we miss out on that one, too, as the eclipse occurs during our daylight hours. Anyone in the Eastern Hemisphere, though, can observe a central (and therefore especially long) total eclipse of the moon.
At 12:17 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21, the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer, the farthest point north where this is possible. This makes the midday sun as high in our sky as possible and gives us more daylight than on any other day of the year. This moment is, therefore, the summer solstice. However, the earliest sunrise for us is the morning of June 11 and the latest sunset is on June 30. Those of us who sleep through sunrise and witness sunset may get the impression that the days are lengthening all the way to the end of the month.
By popular demand, our George Observatory will open to the public not only on Saturdays, but also all Friday nights in June and July (except July 8). The Discovery Dome, our traveling planetarium, will be set up each of these Fridays to show films throughout the evening.

Find your perfect college and scholarships to pay for it. Use CollegeXpress to:
I discovered CollegeXpress while embarking on my college search journey as an excited—but scared and way confused—high schooler without a counselor or college-bound sibling to give me advice. Let me tell you, I'm so glad that I stumbled on this community! CollegeXpress helped me find potential colleges and keep application deadlines straight. It gave me a great list of scholarships, and the blogs and e-mails made me feel like I wasn't going alone. Almost three years later and with freshman year of college down, I still love the CollegeXpress vibe so much that I'm writing for them. I'd recommend this site to anyone!
Lydia Huth
Student, Campbell University; CollegeXpress Writer
My high school counselor introduced me to CollegeXpress freshman year. It has made such a difference in high school, and I plan to continue relying on it in college. CollegeXpress is my go-to because it addresses each aspect of being a student. There are the articles you'd expect regarding college applications and financial aid, but you will also find advice on things like de-stressing and maintaining relationships while balancing a heavy course load. CollegeXpress will also keep you updated on current scholarships through e-mails each Saturday. (They don't harass you with any product promotion like so many other sites do.) CollegeXpress is a lot like an older sibling who has already conquered the challenges you are facing. Now, they are reaching out a helpful hand. I say take it.
Jessica Rinker
Student, Fairhaven High School; CollegeXpress Writer
I've used CollegeXpress quite a bit as a senior, particularly for colleges and scholarships, so it's been a very big asset in that respect! I would recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a college education, especially seniors! This scholarship will help me achieve my goals in ways I couldn't have before, and I know that there are opportunities like that for everyone on the website and in the magazines!
Alexandra Adriano
$2,000 Community Service Scholarship Winner, 2016
I just discovered your site and LOVE it—fun, interesting, full of incredible information you can't find anywhere else, and a godsend for those of us in the college counseling business. I am a fan!

GiveMeFootball continue to put the microscope on some of the top transfer targets in January, and today we focus on Brazilian hitman Hulk.
The 25-year-old was first linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the summer, and was tipped to follow his former manager Andre Villas-Boas over to England.
Whilst the move never materialised, the player's name is never far from Chelsea when the club are mentioned in the transfer market - so is he worth the hype?
Up-front is Hulk's favoured position, although his versatility means he can play as a winger and could fit into Villas-Boas' preferred 4-3-3 formation in a couple of positions in.
His relationship with the Blues boss is also well publicised, and Hulk's agent admitted the striker would happily work for the 34-year-old if a fee could be agreed.
"Hulk would wholeheartedly agree to work with Andre at Porto or Chelsea, or at any other team, because he really likes the way he coaches," Theodoro Fonseca said last week.
Form is not an issue for the player either, with 23 goals in 26 Primeira Liga games for the champions last season, and a healthy return of 7 goals in 12 matches in the current campaign also.
Yet to have an opportunity to shine outside of Portugal in Europe, players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Nani both proved that a move to England isn't necessarily beyond a player from the division.
Hulk has also shown a goalscoring pedigree in European competition at the Estádio do Dragão, scoring goals in both the Champions League and UEFA Cup when given the opportunity.
The price-tag is the only place to start, and after last season's success he signed a new contract that includes a €100 million (£84 million) release clause. Whether Vítor Pereira can be persuaded to negotiate remains a potentially decisive factor.
Hulk's temper (no pun intended) is also a source of possible concern, with the player missing several months of action at the end of 2009 and start of 2010 for hitting a steward after the 1-0 defeat in Benfica.
Like most top-class strikers, Hulk would also be ineligible for the Champions League this season after featuring for Porto in their failed attempt to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.
The fact that Villas-Boas brought the best out of Hulk in Porto makes a mega-money move seem possible - but even Roman Abramovich would baulk at the £84 million price-tag.
Were the Blues able to negotiate a 'discount', then a move seems more than possible and clearly appeals to both parties. Negotiations will be needed in the first month of 2012.
It's a no-go for now, but expect Chelsea to chance their arm in what would be a great move for both parties.

Maureen Brown's eyes dance when she recalls "the beauty" of catching her first rainbow trout. The retired Army nurse will never forget it because, as she reeled in the 24-inch fish two years ago, her exhilaration for a moment broke the mental shackles of her post-traumatic stress disorder.
Brown since has become a leader of Veterans First Fly Fishing, a program that uses the recreational activity to aid veterans with PTSD and steer them on a path to self-sufficiency.
Brown, a Menlo Park resident, and Ken Brunskill, a Navy veteran from Fremont, teach men and women at several Bay Area Veterans Affairs hospitals about the small but crucial steps required to tie a fly.
"That thrill of creating that small fly that entices a fish to bite, then making the catch and letting it go, is the most fun thing," said Brown, who retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel. "It's just you and nature; it's so soothing — everything just goes away."
The instructors take their pupils on outings that allow them to enjoy the serene, naturally beautiful rural settings and other draws of fly-fishing that have hooked Brown and Brunskill on the sport. The experience also provides veterans something basic they haven't felt in too long: a sense of accomplishment.
Catching even a small fish can be a big deal for those with PTSD, said Melissa Puckett, the Menlo Park VA hospital's recreation therapist supervisor. "Just going to the grocery store can become an anxiety-ridden experience," Puckett said. "So we're looking for avenues for people to work through those anxiety-provoking situations and have a better quality of life."
The VA describes PTSD as a mental health problem that can occur after a person goes through a life-threatening event, which describes a soldier's near-daily existence during combat. About 11 percent of veterans of the war in Afghanistan and 20 percent of Iraq War veterans have PTSD. Nearly 8 million Americans have been diagnosed with the condition, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Symptoms include becoming easily frustrated or angry; uneasiness or hypervigilance around crowds; impatience with ordinary chores; and becoming emotionally numb, Puckett said. Many people who have PTSD turn to drugs or alcohol.
"They're stuck in a little prison of their own mind," she said. "It's a powerful thing."
Brown, 62, said she knows the feeling. Her 32-year military career started in 1971, in the waning days of the Vietnam War, and ended in 2003, just as the Iraq War was beginning. One of her memories is caring for a 19-year-old soldier who had shot himself in the stomach in a desperate attempt to escape combat during Operation Desert Storm. She said other soldiers thought of him as a "deserter," and he was ostracized and later sent home.
"I don't think this kid ever thought about the notion of shooting another human being," she said. "So many kids enter the service as a way out of poverty, and they get in a situation where they have no idea what's going to be required of them."
Brown said today's military is more enlightened about mental health issues but, during her career, superiors looked down on those who admitted to hurting emotionally. "So you end up stuffing it down, and you don't deal with it," she said. "When you come back home, it's hard to find anyone who understands what you've gone through."
Brown was diagnosed with PTSD in 2007, after the sudden deaths of four family members and news that her grown daughter was diagnosed with a major illness. "The doctors think my PTSD stems from Desert Storm, and it culminated with those other stressors," she said. "Anything that happens to you in the military starts to add up over time."
She was being treated at the Menlo Park VA hospital when she found out about the fly-fishing program, which helped her recover from depression. "A big part of it was the fly tying; it allowed me to focus on something beside myself," she said. "It may seem simple, but if you have PTSD, having the focus to do that is very difficult, and being able to be relaxed and have a good time is everything."
Once they taste that positive experience, the veterans are encouraged to translate it into other parts of their lives. For Brown, that meant teaching wounded soldiers and trying to heal them by building a community of fly fishers who act as a support group for each other.
She and Brunskill hold classes twice a month at VA hospitals in Livermore and Menlo Park and monthly in San Jose. They receive support from the nonprofit Northern California Council of the Federation of Fly Fishers.
Brown recalls a recent trip to Donner Lake with about 15 classmates, when one veteran with PTSD was overjoyed about catching a footlong rainbow trout by himself.
"His face lit up with a radiance I had never seen before, and all he did was talk about what he had done," she said. "If you can get them to have that feeling, that's what it's all about."
