For a lot of Latinas who live constantly straddling two cultures, watching America Ferrera in Our Family Wedding, opening in theaters today, March 12, will be kind of like looking in a mirror. She plays Lucia, a modern, independent, ambitious girl—who turns into a wuss when she's with her traditional Latin family: They don't know she's dropping out of law school to pursue a dream, let alone that their angelita lives with her boyfriend and has hot sex on the couch. She is thoroughly relatable.
Lucia is half of an interracial couple (House of Payne's Lance Gross plays groom, Marcus) who bring together their families to announce they're getting hitched. He's black, she's Mexican, which is enough to start a culture clash, especially as Lucia's parents and Marcus' dad jockey for control of every last bit of the wedding. Complicating things further, the dads (Carlos Mencia as Miguel and Forest Whitaker as Brad) have a run-in even before they knew they were going to be family: Miguel tows away Brad's vintage car and the two trade racially-charged (but devilishly effective) insults, in a solid early scene. The scene launches a testosterone-athon that takes up a big chunk of the movie, with uneven results. A toned-down Mencia is surprisingly likable as Lucia's misguided dad but he and Forest Whitaker (lacking in the comic timing department) have little chemistry. Supporting actors fare better: Anjelah Johnson (aka MADTv's Bon Qui Qui) delivers some choice acidic lines as sarcastic younger sis Izzy; and in one quirky scene, Chappelle Show alum Charlie Murphy and Taye Diggs (making cameos) make a pretty compelling case for staying single.
There are some sharp moments in the film (one fantasy sequence imagines what it would be like to pair the more extreme breed of relatives from each side with each other with hilarious and vicious results); but much of it falls flat or is flat-out gratuitous: Did we really need to see Lucia's prejudiced grandmother, played by a misused Lupe Ontiveros, literally convulse on the floor after meeting Marcus? In the end, for all its noise, the film has next to nothing to say about race relations.

DETROIT, March 27 (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co expects operating margins of about 10 percent in North America this year, down slightly from 2012, because the company expects a greater portion of its sales this year will come from smaller cars that are less profitable than trucks.
Higher costs associated with growing volumes also pinched margins, the No. 2 U.S. automaker said in a presentation prepared for an investor conference on Wednesday. Last year, Ford's operating margin in North America was 10.4 percent.
However, Ford expects a benefit from growing U.S. auto sales, higher market share and better vehicle prices.

Last week, when volunteer Suzanne Wendell strolled into our offices, we complimented her new chin-length bob. "Nice 'do," we said. "I did it myself," she replied. "Huh?" we said, because Suzanne's hair actually looked pretty good, nothing like the inch-from-the-hairline bangs we cut for ourselves when we were kids. "Yeah," she replied. "Actually, I moonlight as a stylist to the stars. If you want, I could give you guys a makeover." Of course, we put ourselves completely in her capable hands.
Extracurricular hair-cutting aside, Suzanne also participates in a multitude of editorial activities at the CR office, including blogging for our Why We Like It series. Here's Suzanne's take on Lauri Anderson Alford's "The People Who Ignore You Are the People Who Live Here," from soon-to-be-released issue 9.2:
Suzanne Wendell: There's something about the voice of Alford's narrator that immediately attracted me to this story, something subtle and reticent. "The People Who Ignore You Are the People Who Live Here" is set up as a mystery, the mystery of what happened to the narrator's fiancé, Leo, but there is a smaller mystery on every page. The narrator herself remains something of an enigma throughout her narrative, and in her ambivalence toward her missing lover, the mysteries of their relationship, and perhaps all relationships, are amplified.
Alford intertwines humor and sadness with an almost inadvertent ease. The narrator describes the billboard of Leo's picture erected during her search for him as "less like a call for help than an advertisement for a cruise ship." In her deadpan tone she observes, "Alaska, he seemed to be saying, It's not just for old people." Her explanation for treating Leo's disappearance so casually in the beginning, "I thought we were having a fight," perfectly illuminates what so much of the story is about; the silliness and tragedy and bewilderment of the whole thing.
One of my favorite novels is Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. I love it because the most important character is dead before the story even starts. Similarly, Leo has almost more presence in the story than the narrator, despite him never appearing outside of flashbacks. Alford's readers will know him, feel the loss of him, and feel haunted by him. They will understand why his jilted fiancé agonizes over him, but they still may not expect the final chilling sentence of the story.

Austin Lake Hills Real Estate
Austin Lake Hills Homes for Sale
Prices of homes in Austin may have risen over the past couple of years, but there are still places where your money goes a long way and will buy not only a place to live, but a place where you may feel you've only begun to live. One such neighborhood is Austin Lake Hills. If you're looking for a neighborhood that balances proximity to downtown Austin with an appreciation of nature and friendly neighbors, you'd do well to give this locale some serious consideration.
Austin Lake Hills Location
Part of West Lake Hills, Austin Lake Hills is ideally situated near a bend in the Colorado River (Lake Austin), close to Bee Cave Road, the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve, and the landmark Pennybacker (360) bridge. Downtown Austin is less than a half-hour away, and the rural beauties of the Hill Country are equally accessible. A mixture of single-family homes and upscale condominiums, Austin Lake Hills retains a small-town, neighborhood feel as a result of controlled growth and the residents' desire to preserve the magnificence of the landscape in its native state. Mature live oaks along with other indigenous trees and shrubs bestow shade and beauty on older and newly built homes alike. Blessed with sunny weather nearly and warm temperatures nearly year-round, Austin Lake Hills is an ideal base from which to explore the many outdoor pleasures Austin offers, from boating on Lake Austin, to hiking and bicycling in parks and nature preserves, golf courses, country clubs, horseriding and more. And all are only minutes away.
Austin Lake Hills Homes
The exclusive Bella Lago development on Lake Austin is part of Austin Lake Hills. Built by Toll Brothers, award-winning builders of luxury homes, these grand residences typically have more than 5000 square feet of living space, spectacular views and landscaping, and every amenity buyers in this price range expect. Even more modestly priced homes in Austin Lake Hills typically boast such features as gourmet kitchens, breakfast bars, walk-in closets, cathedral ceilings, and spacious balconies and decks.
Austin Lake Hills Neighborhood
The neighborhood is served by one of the city's best school districts, the Eanes Independent School District. All of Eanes's six elementary schools and two middle schools boast a rating of Exemplary, the highest there is. Westlake has also won many awards in both academics and athletics. The Lake Hills Montessori school is also right in the neighborhood. Austin Lake Hills residents can also enjoy the benefits of a very active and friendly community association, which provides more member benefits than most similar neighborhood organizations in Austin. Members of the Lake Hills Community Association (LHCA) have the use of a guarded swimming pool, clubhouse, lakeside park, a boat ramp with docks, a private beach area, basketball and volleyball courts, a children's playground, and more. The LHCA also sponsors an annual music festival, the Cuerny Jam, along with an equally popular Halloween carnival. (Further information about the LHCA can be found on their website at www.lakehillsca.org.) Homes in Austin Lake Hills range from $100,000 to $500,000 plus, and from 1000 to over 5000 square feet in interior space.

Tuesday 23 December 2008
Geneva-Paris, December 23, 2008. The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT) and the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), welcomes yesterday's final judgement of the High Court of Uganda in the case Ms. Victor Juliet Mukasa had brought against the Attorney General of Uganda when Government officials illegally raided in 2005 her home without a search warrant.
The Observatory recalls that in the night of July 20, 2005, the house of Ms. Victor Juliet Mukasa, President of the Sexual Minorities in Uganda (SMUG), a prominent NGO advocating for the rights of homosexuals in the country, was attacked by Government officials in the outskirts of Kampala, where Ms. Mukasa lives. Although they did not present any search warrant, these officials seized several documents relating to the association's activities. The officials also illegally arrested a guest at Ms. Mukasa's home, Ms. Yvonne Oyoo, and treated the two in an inhuman and degrading manner amounting to sexual harassment and indecent assault. Ms. Oyoo was released without charges under conditions (See Observatory Annual Report 2005).
On December 22, 2008, the High Court of Uganda ruled that the Government had violated the rights of Ms. Victor Juliet Mukasa and Ms. Yvonne Oyoo, and declared that Ugandan constitutional rights apply to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people regardless of whether they are homosexual or transgender. The Government will be required to pay damages to both Ms. Musaka and Ms. Oyoo for violating their rights and seizing Ms. Musaka's documents.
The last hearing in the case had taken place on September 21, 2007 and was pending since then.
SMUG advocates for the promotion and the respect of all rights enshrined in the Ugandan Constitution and international human rights instruments for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons – in particular the right to live free from any discrimination.
The Observatory sees the ruling of the High Court of Uganda as a positive step towards the protection of LGBT advocates, in line with the 1998 United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders.
The Observatory calls upon the Ugandan authorities to fully implement the decision of the High Court of Uganda, and urges them to guarantee in all circumstances the physical and psychological integrity of human rights defenders in the country, to put an end to any act of harassment against them – in particular against LGBT rights' defenders – in conformity with the provisions of the above-mentioned Declaration. The Observatory also urges the Ugandan authorities to ensure in all circumstances the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and with international and regional human rights instruments ratified by Uganda.

Two For One Access UK Attractions With Kelloggs
Ok, so let me explain. Kelloggs has teamed up with the Merlin Entertainment Group to offer UK families a special offer of 2-for-1 vouchers for over 35 of the best loved attractions in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
So, there are two aspects to this special 2-for-1 offer to UK theme parks. The first is the chance to win a Year Of Family Fun where you can be one of 500 people to win an annual Merlin Pass. That's pretty cool.
But if you, like me, are rubbish at winning competitions, then how about just buying participating Kelloggs packs and cutting out the vouchers that will allow you to get a 2-for-1 access to over 35 UK attractions. Awesome.
You will find the 2-for-1 Kelloggs promotion on their family cereals such as Rice Crispies, Coco Pops and Corn Flakes and participating attractions include Alton Towers, Chessington World of Adventures Resort, and Thorpe Park. The 2-for-1 vouchers mean that shoppers can get up to £41 in free tickets.
Brilliant timing!

Alan Taylor is the lucky man who found himself in the director's chair of Terminator: Genisys. Maybe "lucky" is not the proper word to use to describe his tackling of the job. The first two films in the Terminator franchise are considered classics of the genre. The third and fourth films are deemed major misfires. Fans like Zeca Oliveira wonder: Can Taylor return the series to the glory days of the first two films while avoiding the mishaps of the latter two? We'll find out in July of 2015. For now, we simply have to take the director's sincere words on the new approach he took for the fifth film.
Taylor noted he wishes to focus on a "dysfunctional family" angle in the new film. Per Taylor, Terminator 2 focused on a "father/son" relationship. In the alternate timeline of the fifth film, the family unit is in a shambles. Hopefully, the action of the film will help beget an improvement in the family relationships of all involved characters.
In the new film, we learn Sarah Conner was raised by an emotionless T-800 killing machine. Yes, that is one dysfunctional family. The arrival of Kyle Reese could help change things for the better, but only if all three can escape the evil terminators sent to kill them.
Taylor also pointed out his goal with the new film is to return to the simplicity of the original outings. The proper mix of character development and action should help with such a goal.

Police workers in newly badged-up cars to boost police visibility on South Yorkshire streets have complained to bosses they are being flagged down to deal with crimes and incidents.
Civilians untrained to deal with police incidents have told union representatives that people are alerting them to issues they are untrained and ill-equipped to deal with.
And plain-clothed police officers, who need to remain anonymous to deal with vulnerable victims of crime and witnesses, are concerned they are now having to use marked vehicles.
Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright ordered unmarked police vehicles to be badged up with the South Yorkshire Police logo to improve police visibility.
He has asked detectives to start to wear high visibility police jackets when out investigating crimes and has put 66 police officers from back office jobs back into uniforms to try to reduce the impact of frontline cuts.
But South Yorkshire Police Federation, which represents rank and file bobbies, has accused police chiefs of 'papering over the cracks'.
Federation chairman Neil Bowles said: "We need plain car and plain-clothed police officers for all sorts of reasons – from surveillance to protecting vulnerable victims of crime and witnesses who may not want police cars parked outside their homes so there have been some concerns raised.
"In addition to that we now have people driving round in badged-up police cars who are feeling obliged to stop at incidents because members of the public are pulling them over and expecting them to stop – they feel there would be complaints if they drove by.
"But some of these people are not trained officers and not equipped to deal with such incidents."
Mr Bowles added: "In the past if they came across an incident that was not life or death they would have radioed it in, but now they feel that they need to pull over."
He said civilian crime scene investigators are among those driving around in the vehicles.
"The Police and Crime Commissioner's attempt to improve police visibility is just papering over the cracks to try to hide the fact there are not enough cops," added Mr Bowles.
Mr Wright said: "I am aware of the concerns that some officers have raised and await the outcome of a more detailed report from the Chief Constable.
"This report will then set out the recommendations for the size and shape of the vehicle fleet moving forward."
Around 100 previously unmarked police vehicles have now been marked up with police badges.

WASHINGTON — In an unusual look inside Washington's lobbying culture, a sequence of letters published last week exposed how a conservative nonprofit advocacy group apparently tried to sell its clout in a legislative battle between FedEx and UPS.
For a fee of $2.1 million to $3.4 million, the American Conservative Union offered to "strongly support" FedEx's position and "rally [the] grass roots," according to a June 30 letter from Vice President Dennis Whitfield to a top lobbyist for the package carrier.
After FedEx rejected the offer, the group's chairman, David Keene, joined seven other conservative leaders in signing a July 15 letter supporting United Parcel Service Inc. and blasting its competitor for "false and disingenuous" statements made in trying to fend off legislation that would have increased organized labor's power at FedEx Corp.
The letters, which were published Friday by the Capitol Hill newspaper Politico, offered a window into the transactional side of nonprofit advocacy, in which money appeared to influence the position of a group ostensibly motivated exclusively by principle.

Do you get excited when you see some new "diet" and "exercise" hoping that you will follow through this time? Do you follow the exercise for a few days but then quit before you see the results? And then feel bad about yourself? Well, I have been there and I know how it felt and I did not like it!!! Then to make myself feel "better," I always came up with the most reasonable wonderful "excuse." I hope this is not the case for you. If so, here are some solutions:
Do not make face exercises "optional
Do at least one facial exercise a day. That is it!
Ask yourself, "why do I do this exercise?" "How do I want to feel/look?"
Take a baby step and still you will see the results!
This pose is a great one because it kills 3 birds with one stone:
- Nasolabial folds
- Smokers lines
- Double chin
Imagine how you would feel if you didn't have any worries about those areas.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing an "a-ha" moment happen in real life. That is why I love speaking and interacting with live audiences.
I put my all into speaking engagements to ensure that the audience is both entertained and informed. From an audience of 5,000+ at CreativeLive in San Francisco to college classrooms to NATO's Headquarters in Brussels, I've spoken to a variety of crowds internationally.
Catering to all levels, I'm committed to bringing my best to your event. Here are a few topics to choose from and I welcome your ideas:
Video Marketing
YouTube Strategy
Brand Building with Social Media
Visual Storytelling
Please email me with inquiries.
Sunny was suggested to me as an expert on video marketing. Looking at her YouTube channel I sensed that Sunny could be that" breath of fresh air" for our conference. And indeed, her breakout session on Viplomacy (Video-Diplomacy) and how government can leverage video and live streaming to connect with the public was educational as well as inspiring for all attendees and provided them with a strong basis but also some good ideas to implement in their area of work.Franky Saegerman, Head of Social Media (NATO)
We were very excited to have Sunny as part of our speakers list, for Social Media Camp 2016. She took our stage by storm, delivering an impressive presentation on "Selling Your Story on Snapchat". Not only was the standing room only audience completely engaged, when they departed the room, most were immediately employing what they learned in the hallways of the Victoria Conference Centre. Her energy and stage presence ensures her a spot on the Social Media Camp stage in the future and we are proud to have her as a member of our speaker alumni!Sean Smith, Advisory Board Member & Head Coach (Social Media Camp)

Charcoal and Total Carbon in Soils from Foothills Shrublands to Subalpine Forests in the Colorado Front Range

AbstractTemperate conifer forests in the Colorado Front Range are fire-adapted ecosystems where wildland fires leave a legacy in the form of char and charcoal. Long-term soil charcoal C (CC) pools result from the combined effects of wildland fires, aboveground biomass characteristics and soil transfer mechanisms. We measured CC pools in surface soils (0–10 cm) at mid-slope positions on east facing aspects in five continuous foothills shrubland and conifer forest types. We found a significant statistical effect of vegetation type on CC pools along this ecological gradient, but not a linear pattern increasing with elevation gain. There is a weak bimodal pattern of CC gain with elevation between foothills shrublands (1.2 mg CC ha−1) and the lower montane, ponderosa pine (1.5 mg CC ha−1) and Douglas-fir (1.5 mg CC ha−1) forest types prior to a mid-elevation decline in upper montane lodgepole pine forests (1.2 mg CC ha−1) before increasing again in the spruce/subalpine fir forests (1.5 mg CC ha−1). We propose that CC forms and accumulates via unique ecological conditions such as fire regime. The range of soil CC amounts and ratios of CC to total SOC are comparable to but lower than other regional estimates. View Full-Text

If you have looked into getting a new pair of running shoes recently, you will have seen just how many brands offer extensive ranges of shoes for you to choose from. Some of the shoes from different brands will look fairly similar, but is there much of a difference between them all when it comes to actually wearing and running in them?
The reality is that some brands will be much better suited to your feet and the style of running you do. It is just the way that some brands make their shoes that will fit your own feet that little bit better than another brand. There is no one 'right' brand for everyone, as everybody has different shape feet, and different running styles too.
While a lot of people tend to think that the more they spend on a pair of running shoes, the better they will be, this is certainly not the case. While the quality of the more expensive shoes and brands is often very high, they may not be the best fit for you.
On the other side of the coin, the more expensive brands may be the perfect shoe for you. The way a shoe molds itself to the shape of your feet is going to be extremely important for you, as it will mean the difference between a comfortable fitting shoe or a shoe that does not fir so well and hinders your running ability.
Running Shoe brands to consider
Here are some of the brands that offer a wide range of running shoes, and may have the perfect shape and design for your feet, and the type of running that you do. These brands offer running shoes of all kinds, and in a wide range of budget constraints too.
New Balance
While New Balance are certainly not a new brand (they were founded in 1906), they have certainly become one of the most popular running shoe brands in more recent times. The reason for their up-turn in recent times is down to their innovative and varied shoe designs. When you look at their extensive range, and see shoes such as the Fresh Foam 980, you will see just how innovative and detailed their shoe designs are.
Asics are another brand that have been around for a long time (founded in 1949), but have really become more prominent in the market over the last 10 years or so. They also have a very extensive range of running shoes available, and they offer them at very affordable prices. They have really developed some exceptional running shoes, and models such as the Gel Electro 33 really show what they are capable of.
Brooks make all kinds of sports equipment, and their range of running shoes has increased significantly over the years. Another very experienced brand, being founded in 1914, they certainly have a very good understanding of the marketplace, and they have continued to innovate in their shoe designs. Shoes like the Brooks Trance 12 are modern and comfortable, and go a long way to optimizing a runner's ability.
Another brand with over 100 years of experience (founded in 1898), Saucony have produced some really high quality running shoes in recent times. Their new Mirage 4 running shoe is the epitome quality and innovation at an affordable price. They do have a wide range of running shoes for both men and women and are certainly a very good brand option to consider.
These are just some of the Brands around today that offer a wide range of running shoes in all styles, shapes and sizes. Read some of the reviews on this site to find out more about the brands and specific models of shoes that they offer, and see which one you feel is best suited for you.

So what do you do with old hard drives? I'm not talking 1, or 2, but every hard drive you've ever owned and no longer use, from 1.7gb up to 750gb (minus a couple of 750s I destroyed while in Colorado)? Here's my dilemma, I've got this stack of hard drives (pictured on the left), half of them I've gone through and made sure I have removed all the content I wanted to save on them, deleted the rest.
Now, I know not to just toss these into the trash, it would be theoretically possible to recover the data, even if I delete them. And now that I am becoming a Maker (or dreaming of becoming one) I feel like tossing all that hardware would be a waste of metal.
So how do I dispose of old hard drives? Well I plan to take them apart.
I'm sure you're wondering, how much data is actually on that stack of hard drives? A pathetic 1.5tb, 1/2 of that coming from a single 750gb drive.
Stay tuned for a photo later this week of all the remnants.

With reports that SAT scores were flat this year, we asked followers: How important are test scores in predicting success? Comments from Twitter and Facebook are edited for clarity and grammar:
Standardized tests are simply the easiest way to judge students but are little to no indication of future success. Success is subjective.
— @richjmartin
It seems inappropriate that the company designing a test determining your future also profits from study guides/courses.
— @JimmyCLewis
The scores are very important. It is fashionable to be anti-test today, but what would one use instead? Subjective opinion?
— @rob17bob
I'd love to see any study on the predictive abilities of the SAT and similar exams. Many universities are moving away from them.
— @therealdrsean
The No. 1 determining factor that correlates to how well a child does in school is how active both parents are in their child's education process, from homework to early reading and help studying. If the parents don't get involved and put a focus on education at an early age, many kids take that as a sign it's just not that important.
— John Rambo
Who cares about these test scores? Department of Education bureaucrats? Certainly colleges do, but not quality hiring managers or entrepreneurs. These tests evaluate a lot of skills with very little value. The reason we're lagging the world in science and tech is because we rely on metrics such as ACT and SAT scores.
— Brad Kriel
My SAT scores were poor, and I wasn't successful my first year in college. But after a stint in the Navy, I graduated with honors.
I don't think I possessed the maturity for college at first.

Who We Are
Wrapsody is a unique and trendy gift shop that truly celebrates the joy of giving! In August of 2004, Wrapsody's first location opened in the heart of Hoover, Alabama. Owners Sarah Brown and Terry Shea created the stores with a "celebration of giving" being at the very core of their evolution.
Wrapsody all started from a girls lunch date between Sarah and Terry and a desire from both to bring a cute and trendy gift shop to the Hoover community. Wrapsody quickly became a family affair with Sarah and Terry's husbands, Drew and John, helped bring friends together to have a paint party! The same trend continued with the opening of the Auburn location in downtown Auburn, right next to campus!

We've been working with a First Time Home Buyer who has been looking for a house for 7 months. She's seen MANY houses – and she's made 5 offers that have not been accepted… which is really frustrating her.
We understand that she's frustrated – but she has to be realistic. The Real Estate market in Raleigh has changed. We are not like some other parts of the Country… there are fewer houses on the market in several price ranges, and Sellers are not going to just "dump" their house!
It's not ALWAYS the Price that causes the Seller to accept another offer.
Hesitation also kills deals – If the house you love in Cary is in good condition, and is priced "right" then there will be more buyers looking at it. We've seen First Time Homebuyers miss out on a home because:
- The buyer loves the home, but is afraid to commit, so takes an extra day to make an offer or respond to a counter and loses it to another, more aggressive buyer.
- The buyer whose anxiety snowballs into feet-dragging on getting their documents to us (the lender), forcing them to run behind on loan contingency removal. If you are purchasing a short sale, or a foreclosure – the bank you are buying the house from could refuse to sell it!
- The buyer waits so long to get serious about reviewing disclosures, reading inspection reports and obtaining repair bids that they panic and consider pulling out of the deal when the first inspection reveals even a few condition issues that would not otherwise be so worrisome.Additionally, because much of the early-deal hesitation arises from the novelty of the idea of making such a major financial commitment… we suggest that BEFORE you go out to look at the properties, do a very thorough job of reviewing other homes that are for sale in that area, and look at what homes have sold for during the last 3 months. Because of this "homework" we strongly suggest that all home buyers in North Carolina work with a BUYERS representative. Just calling the agent who is representing the Seller is not the only option you have!
It's a Great Time To Buy a House! You can do this! We also offer NC Housing Finance Agency First Time Home Buyer Programs you might want to get more information on! Buying your First Home is an exciting time! Call Steve and Eleanor Thorne, Best Mortgage Rates in Cary NC, 919-649-5058

Info concerning Western Illinois University announcements, and registering for departmental seminars and elective lectures. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Western Illinois University student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Western Illinois University.
Don't imagine that college is all about getting good grades and finding a job after graduation. A large part of the university growth experience is about participating in extracurricular activities such as student government, writing for the school newspaper, or joining one of the many student clubs on campus.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom. Beyond consideration for Western Illinois University announcements, you may think about Central Community College GRE requirements for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

power to compel the support of the

of will power; if there is the least
spark of manhood and honor in the
man; if he is not a knave and liber

move much of the disgrace and make
some reparation to their offspring.
"If this misstep has none of the el

caused by desire, then apply the old
adage, 'let him who dances pay for

That is one of the arguments used
by Judge Chas. N. Goodnow, who is
before the legislature today in sup

a man but the price of one cigar a

Some clever soul kept 8 million hospital patient records on one laptop. And it's gone missing, according to The Current Bun.
It reportedly contained highly sensitive details of 8.63 million people – along with all the ins and outs of 18 million hospital visits including operations and procedures. It's quite possible some Joe Blogs knows about that hernia from last summer.
More worryingly, it reportedly contains highly sensitive details about HIV, mental illness, cancer and abortions.
It was one of 20 machines to be enjoying the Scotch Mist, held in a store room in London.
Coppers are irritated that the loss had been reported late. Meanwhile, the Information Commissioner, perceived by some as toothless, is sharpening its gums to mull over the case.
No one has publicly gone on record about the machines – it's unclear if they were mistakenly dumped or just plain nicked. Similarly no one has owned up to taking the train drunk following an after-work party. It could be on the circle line.
The Sun reports that each laptop was worth £10,000 – but that's more likely what the NHS paid for them.

There are around 8,300 lawyers in Austin. With so many lawyers, choosing the right one can be difficult. Picking an Austin lawyer at random, or based on an advertisement in the Yellow Pages is a big risk.

LegalMatch only deals with attorneys who are in good standing in their professional community. Furthermore, when you submit a case to LegalMatch, it will only be referred to an Austin lawyer who is equipped to handle it.

Get an Austin Child Support Lawyer or an Austin Child Custody Lawyer
Recently, Texas assistant attorney generals and local law enforcement have been working together to crack down on Austin residents who have not been paying child support. They have been successful in procuring arrest warrants from Austin courts for people that only owe a few hundred dollars in missed chid support payments. The only way for these local residents to avoid being arrested for not paying child support is to hire an Austin child support lawyer or an Austin child custody lawyer to challenge overly high payment requirements or actual custody of the child.
If you are seeking basic legal information for your Austin legal matter, the LegalMatch Law Library is a good place to start. It has over 3,300 articles on many legal subjects, and they are written in plain language, with the general public in mind.

Princeton's WordNet
reticulated python, Python reticulatus(noun)
of southeast Asia and East Indies; the largest snake in the world
Python reticulatus
Python reticulatus, also known as the reticulated python, is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. Adults can grow to 6.95 m in length but normally grow to an average of 3–6 m. They are the world's longest snakes and longest reptile, but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they are nonvenomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans. Although large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult human, attacks are only occasionally reported. An excellent swimmer, Python reticulatus has been reported far out at sea and has colonised many small islands within its range. The specific name, reticulatus, is Latin meaning "net-like", or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex color pattern.

Bonacic: State's Excuse On Belleayre Reduction Is Nonsense
State Senator John J. Bonacic (R/I/C - Mount Hope), a longtime advocate for Belleayre Mountain Ski Center, said he opposes the Department of Environmental Conservation's recent plan to scale back development of the Ski Center.
Bonacic, whose actions have led to nearly $20 million in State investment in Belleayre in the past eight years, said the DEC is wrong to remove the trail development plans on the East side.
"Unit Management Plans (UMPs) are exactly that - plans. They are rarely, if ever fully implemented or fully funded in one year. The State has made the decision to be in the ski business. The State has reaffirmed that decision in 1999 and 2000. If we are going to be in the ski business, we ought to do it well. If the DEC is now claiming that we need the money in the budget to fund every element of a UMP, then that means there will be no long term planning for the growth of our parks and recreation system in the Catskills – and that is bad public policy," Bonacic said.
Since 2001, Bonacic, a member of the DEC's budget committee in the Senate, has worked to secure annual investments of between $750,000 and $5 million for Belleayre into each year's State budget. Those investments, along with dynamic new leadership, have created new ski trails, a new high speed "quad" chair lift, and most recently, over $12 million has been set aside for the reconstruction of the Discovery Lodge.
Given Belleayre's success, nearby Catskills ski areas have complained that Belleayre is cutting into their profits. "As far as I am concerned, Belleayre ought to be reducing its ticket prices in an effort to bring more people into the sport of skiing and help the Catskill's economy. I believe that if Belleayre continues to be successful, it brings more skiers into the sport and region, and all ski resorts will prosper," Bonacic said.
The Senator said he felt the DEC was "giving in to the complaints of nearby ski areas rather than embracing the public mission of a publicly owned ski facility. By scaling back the UMP, we are saying that we want to be in the ski business, but only if it doesn't offend anyone. Either you are in the ski business or you not," Bonacic said.
The Constitution was amended to allow a build-out of 25 miles of trails. That was over fifty years ago. "Two miles of trails per year is not too much. Let's finish this build-out of the East side, which happens to be the best skiing portion of the Belleayre Mountain area, and complete the mission that the voters of this State authorized a half-century ago," concluded Senator Bonacic.

Quick intro to JavaScript CSS ClassLIst API
Of all the ways people have been using jQuery, one of the methods that rank high up there is jQuery's CSS class manipulation methods, which are:
addClass() hasClass() removeClass()
These functions make it extremely easy to add, remove, and check whether an element has a particular CSS class.
Well, all modern browsers now allow you to do away with jQuery for duplicating the above functions. The
el.classList.add("myclass") //adds a class to element

Yes, you read the title correct. You can actually make MORE money by marketing to fewer people. This is the premise behind narrowing your focus or niching.
Pain Medicine
Think about pain medication. Huge market. If you have a headache, are you going to buy the general pain medicine or the pain medicine specifically for headaches? The outside package for both OTCs is different, one niches and the other is a generalist trying to cover a broad market, and the actual products are identical.
Research shows marketing as a headache medicine produces tons more sales.
Humans like to be specific. We like to buy things that address our specific needs, not general "fix everything" type of approaches.
Just like fitness and exercise can be narrowed to fitness and exercise for women. You can narrow this further to fitness and exercise for women over the age of forty, and now you have a product that is "Fit Over Forty". You will have more sales, thus more profit with this narrow focus than just marketing as a fitness and exercise expert.
Niche Work
There are several ways to define a niche. But your first step needs to come from within. Who do you want to spend your time working with? What kinds of people do you enjoy helping? What kinds of people do you care deeply about and want to help grow and prosper?
Remember, you'll be building your business around your niche, so you don't want to build it around a niche you don't like. These next four questions to ask are key for assuring your niche is profitable – you can make a living.
|1. Does your niche group have a strong emotionally compelling problem or issue that you can help with?
|2. Is your niche group looking for a solution to their problem – seeking help? It is much tougher to market a service or product for a problem the target market does not even know they need.
|3. Will the help you provide either make your niche group feel much better or solve a big problem for them? I like to say you want your help to give them better sleep at night.
|4. Lastly, is the niche group willing to pay for the benefits they will receive because they see the value to their life, business and/or happiness? What you are digging at here is whether the niche group ranks the solution to their problem high enough to pay for help.
These questions are aiming to prevent you from setting up your business around a need a market is not seeking a solution for nor is willing to pay for These are tough challenges to overcome even with an outstanding brand and clever marketing campaign.
What this means is it is going to be super challenging to find a product or service to offer for the niche group women 30 – 40 years old that are successful, happy, have little stress and are practicing preventative care that they will pay for.
First, she doesn't have an emotionally compelling problem. She feels good now. Second, there is no big difficulty to solve in order for her to feel the immediate benefits, even if she might feel a sense of peace knowing she was preventing problems.
Lastly, she might pay for this kind of preventative help as long as she had the extra money because she knows it is a good idea. However, it will likely be a lower priority which will take more effort on your part to prompt her to action.
Tweak to a Profitable Niche
With a little tweaking you could niche successfully to 30-40 year old women who get chronic debilitating headaches. The headaches zap her energy, wear her out, she is unable to be in a good mood around her children, she feels grumpy and isn't enjoying life. She now has an emotionally compelling problem you can help with.
She wants to feel good, have the pain go away and have more energy and focus for her kids.
She is definitely willing to pay for this because she wants relief and feels desperate. Your help will change her life for the better.
Now you have a niche that allows you to work with your ideal client and make a living from helping them.
How a Niche Expands Your Reach
The hardest part of niching for business owners to understand is that by narrowing and solving your problem for your target market – over the top happy clients, you will begin to expand your reach outside of your narrow niche without having to market that broad.
So lets say you have seen 10 ideal clients and resolved their headaches and brought peace back into their life through a meditation focus. Now, your estatic clients will bring in their husband or their kids or their mom or friend because she knows you, likes you and feels a connection with you. Her enthusiastic recommendation for you attracts others to go to you for their problems, even non-headache problems.
Now your niche business is growing, even outside your niche. The key is to stay focused on your niche as the 'headache healer.' This narrow niching brings in more business in the long term. With this niche you solve an emotionally compelling problem for a narrow group of people that are willing to pay to gain the positive result you will bring.
Your approach (meditation focus in this example) while solving the problem and your achievement of the desired result can broaden your reach beyond your niche without having to market more.
Entrepreneurs that go too broad (are generalists) struggle with their marketing as they feel they need to include 5 or more different problems they solve in each of their marketing pieces. The trouble with this is none of their marketing pieces compel their ideal target market to act, to buy – in branding we say this is a weak marketing piece.
To build a successful business, you must find a way to compel people to buy. Lack of a narrow focus is a top reason businesses struggle to inspire their market to act, to buy.

text: Hi everyone! Today I got another proposal for useful applications that would make an open mobile outshine "oldsch00l" mobiles. The leader of the Norwegian EFF chapter posted som days in frustration a question whether there was any kind of blacklisting/spam filtering capabilities for SMS/Phonecalls on existing mobile phones. This of course got me thinking about how neat such a thing would be, especially if it was capable of automated/perioding updating such blacklists. As there is an multitude of well developed free/open software that deals with email spam, how could such work be to adapt such things into a distributed sms/mms filtering and sender blacklisting software? (I can't even get a 'printf("hello World!");' statment to compile, so don't look at me. ;-) ) In my ideal world: Alice gets a OpenMoko, and then starts getting annoying calls from Peach Corporation that would like to sell here an Peach M-Phone. As Alice dislikes Peach Corporation, she tags any sms/mms and caller ID's with a "Marketing Call" tag. Bob on the other hand tends to get deceptive marketing calls from Matilda in Canned Meat Marketing. Matilda has created an software system that automates calling and displays a unknown caller ID, then hangs up when Bob answers. If Bob calls back he get a canned speech _and_ Matilda logs him as a potential mark for futher scams. After Bob's Phone Rage has subsidized(thank god he bought the 3rd party ruggedized Moko Case!) he tags the calling ID with "Deceptive Marketing" tag. Unfortunately Matilda in Canned Meat Marketing has a pool of several hundred/thousand of caller ID's, and by logging and some simple software routing she make sure that each call Bob recieves never shows the same caller ID. But, almost every day Alice and Bob decides to access the internet trough their phones Wifi or 3G. The phone usually checks for software updates weekly, but when Bob's and Alice's has new "Spam Tags" they upload anonymized (but cryptographically signed) data to a spamlisting server. The server applies whatever black magic needed to create an updated blacklist and every week Alice and Bob downloads a updated blacklist from the same server. Since other people has also reported "Deceptive Marketing" tags on Matilda's Call ID's and the number of reports passed a blackmagic threshold her Caller ID's are added to the permanent shit^H^H^H blacklist. So from that day on Alice's and Bob's phone refuses to accept any calls from Matilda. The number of people that reported Peach corporation on the other hand also reached the necessary threshold for a blacklisting. But since Alice and other people used a different Tag the phone only displays a warning to Bob (depending on his user preferences). Of course, each paradise has it's snake and in this case it's Mallory. Mallory is Alice's ex, and he hates that Bob has started to become a important figure in Alice's love life. So Mallory tries to upload his own list (or through multiple proxies) where Alice's and Bob's phonenumbers are listed with the "Deceptive Marketing" tag. This could at least be mitigated by _not_ using different spamtags and by defaulting the Moko's behavior to only display warnings rather than silently ignore. In addition they contact list in Bob's and Alice's could work as a whitelist. Any other suggestions on how to combat Mallory? Matilda might also become a snake as she would like to somehow poison the central servers database with false data. Matilda is hoping that Alice and Bob would uninstall their local spamfilter after it gave to many false positives. Any suggestions on how to combat Matilda? Sincerly, Heikki Soerum.
