Another batch of excellent Android apps are now supporting Chromecast, allowing you to beam all sorts of sports coverage to the big screen. The WatchESPN app and Major League Soccer are the biggest names to join the ever-growing ranks of Chromecast-supporting apps. As you might expect, access to these are dependent on subscribing to their respective premium services.
Those aren't the only Chromecast updates today, though. Crunchyroll's anime show app has also hopped on the bandwagon. You can also beam Google+ pictures and video to Chromecast to make your TV a big photo album.
Those are some great additions overall. Do you guys feel like you're getting mileage out of your Chromecast? Which apps would you like to see supported next?

Details from 'Riders on the Storm'
© Peter McMahon
Riders on the storm:
RIDERS ON THE STORM: SEX DESPAIR JOY EVIL BEAUTY is Julien Poulson's take on the Golden Era of King Norodom Sihanouk's psychedelic Sixties through to the rock'n'roll and Cold War politics of the 1970s, not least the bitter clash between Western Culture, Communism and the Vietnam War in Cambodia.
This series is also a personal journey, it's about birth, life and death of Kak Channthy – Julien's beloved co-founder of The Cambodian Space Project – and how Channthy, born into war & poverty in 1980 (the year Pol Pot fled Phnom Penh), struggled and overcame great odds to reach stratospheric heights and a global audience as 'the barefoot diva of The Cambodian rice fields' with The Cambodian Space Project. This new series is created as a tribute to Kak Channthy – a celebration of her life, music, and the incredible legacy she has given to this world.
RIDERS ON THE STORM: SEX DESPAIR JOY EVIL BEAUTY is an artist's map showing the echoes and reverberations of lives lived boldly through space and time. It describes a brief history of Cambodian on 12 canvases.
"Kak Channthy represented everything that is beautiful about Cambodia, the spirit of the oppressed and the poor. She lives on."
Julien Poulson is an internationally acclaimed pop artist best known as the founder of The Cambodian Space Project. Poulson's work spans art forms including music, printmaking, painting, film, digital media and writing. His Cambodia-inspired art is exhibited in galleries around the world and is also part of the permanent collection at the ethnographic Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam.
Poulson's visual art brings an expansive pop art package to the psychedelic, atmospheric music of The Cambodian Space Project. His screen print poster series and led to the establishment of Sticky Finger Arts Prints Cambodia – a printmaking collective producing limited edition prints themed on South East Asian iconography. In 2010, Poulson was awarded the prestigious Alcorso Foundation Italy Artist Residency, and spent time in Venice writing a libretto and music for Muskito, a theatrical work. This collaboration with American producer Aaron Hurwitz (The Band, Bob Dylan, Mercury Rev) led to the release of an album based on tales of Tasmania's brutal indigenous and colonial frontier history. This work ushered his move into writing and producing for film and theatre.
He continues to tour with The Cambodian Space Project and works with a diverse range of artists, such as his recent collaboration with producer Harley Stumm and director Carlos Gomes to write, develop and produce "Cosmic Cambodia" – a rock opera which premièred at Sydney Festival 2016.
Poulson now resides in Kampot where he has established the Kampot Arts & Music Association (KAMA) with the aim of developing the creative community in Cambodia by facilitating a range of workshops and art events.
available works
This series is available in pairs as presented by the artist, or as individual pieces.

Sample Essay
As implied by the name lean manufacturing is concerned and directly related to the production process of an organization and it helps the organization in reducing the waste and adds value in the final product which directly affects the efficiency of an organization (Kinicki and Williams 2008). All the stakeholders are same way or the other linked with the production process or they are involved in the decision making process that is also linked with the production process.
In this way human resource management plays its role and depicts that both these terminologies are linked with one another. However, issues arise when an organization fails to implement proper organizational strategies and when human resource management conflicts with the aspects of lean manufacturing. Stakeholders play an important role in every stage and right from the scratch they must be managed in a proper manner (Robbins, Bergman, and Stagg 2008). Mismanagement of customers can tarnish the customer base of the organization and they might suffer losses. Similarly, if suppliers are not managed properly then proper distribution might not take place and the organization would suffer. Therefore, each and every stakeholder is of utmost importance (Nickels, McHugh, and McHugh2006). The entire supply chain and business process must be designed properly so that the flow of products or services can be delivered efficiently to the customers.

A bill to widen the use of private meetings for governing bodies is pitting the leaders of Nebraska's media outlets against the state's public school boards.
A legislative committee heard testimony this week on a measure (LB-282) by Senator Roy Baker of Lincoln that would allow school boards to hold private sessions when narrowing down job applicants.
Current law only allows for closed sessions if they are necessary to prevent "needless injury" to reputation. Jacqueline Harms, the news director of KNOP-TV in North Platte, spoke out against the bill.
"People pay a lot of money to keep their schools open," Harms says. "They deserve to know who the candidates are for that highest-paid government position. We have a right and taxpayers have a right to vet who would be right for them and to think about it. Transparency has never, ever backfired."
North Platte's School Board just hired a new superintendent, out of a pool of 15 applicants, but discussion in open session involved only four named finalists.
"We should have been able to hear the board discuss the qualifications of all 15," Harms says. "According to open meetings laws, that's the process. With news delivery on all types of media platforms, we should be able to tell our viewers about the school board's discussions and the candidates. It's the public's right. They get to decide the quality of that. It's their school."
School officials say good candidates deserve confidentiality during the selection process and school boards need privacy to engage in honest discussions.
Patrick Etheridge, publisher of the Beatrice Daily Sun, testified that the Beatrice School Board twice violated open meetings law in superintendent searches, according to opinions from an Assistant Nebraska Attorney General. In one instance, a pool of a dozen applicants was narrowed to four persons, during a closed session.
Etheridge says, "It's my belief, and the belief of the Attorney General's Office, that the legislature intended public bodies to appoint officials like superintendents at open meetings so the appointed officials were scrutinized in the same fashion as the elected members."
Etheridge maintains there's no evidence Senator Baker's bill would help attract better candidates or benefit taxpayers.
"I believe LB-282 wrongly steers the state in a different direction, where citizens and taxpayers are kept in the dark about the hiring process and the credentials of its potential leaders," Etheridge says. "Citizens and taxpayers of Nebraska receive a far greater benefit by knowing who applies for positions, what their qualifications are and what they bring to the job."
Members of the media say in many areas the school superintendent is the highest paid position and taxpayers deserve to know who is being considered for the role.
Senator Baker says he is open to reaching some middle ground on his bill.
"I do find the Public Records Act in the Open Meetings Law to be in conflict right now and that clarification is needed," Baker says. "It's almost impossible to comply with the restrictions of an open records law by doing everything in an open meeting."
As yet, the committee has taken no action on the bill.
By Doug Kennedy, KWBE, Beatrice

His fans may be waiting for years to see Bollywood superstar Salman Khan tie the knot but the popular actor is in no mood to get married anytime soon though he strongly believes in love.
Salman always comes up with a playful answer every time the marriage question is asked.
He recently said that he was open to the idea of arranged marriage but when asked again about what qualities does he look for in a girl, the actor quipped, "Marriage is cancelled now… love is back."
The 49-year-old actor's love life has always made headlines right from his alleged affair with Somi Ali to Sangeeta Bijlani to Aishwarya Rai to Katrina Kaif.
Salman was speaking at the launch of a song, "Aaj ki party" from his upcoming film "Bajrangi Bhaijaan."
Salman's another upcoming home production "Hero" is releasing on September 4. On the same day, the Katrina-starrer "Phantom" too will hit the theatres.
Asked about the box office clash, Salman said "That (Katrina's film) is also our film."

TG's will often be 'grounded' from constructive, academic college and extra-curricular actions as punishments for trivial offenses.

"No future" ? Well, as recently spotted by the arrow of Picardy, these two people are around 60-years old in 2015 and the lease one can say is that their attitude does not reflect their ages. They were both part of the late-70's UK punk and post-punk scenes and although they had been famous through the so-called "punk" movement, they reached musical excellence later, mixing punk energy and attitude with dub and reggae influences.
- Public Image Ltd, London Shepherd's Bush, 2nd of October
I tried and tried again to catch P.I.L. live in the last years but there was always a reason for me not to be able to attend. So I could not believe my luck when realizing that they were to play so close to home. After a long hiatus, the band went to reform in 2012 and their new 2015 LP "What the world needs now..." is as good as the previous one.
"France just scored a goal !". For those brave enough to dig into my concerts page, they will spot indeed that until then my only P.I.L. concert had been in Paris in 1986 the day France was playing against the Soviet Union in the Mexican World Cup. As there were no way to be informed about games' score at that time, I remember John Lyndon kindly informed us that Luis Fernandez had scored a goal to get a 1-1 draw! Anyway, old times…
This time, the band were in their classic new structure with in particular the excellent Lu Edmonds on guitar. They played a lean and straight to the point concert, with not an inch of fat. I would not describe the audience as such as there were a few old and not that thin punks in the attendance but at least this was real England from Shepherd's Bush, far from the posh and hipster districts…
Really great show I must say, most above my expectations, with the band revisiting magnificently classics such as "This is not a love song" or "Rise" but as well playing very long and repetitive songs from the last LP's or the "Metal Box" era. John Lydon's voice is what it is but nobody cannot deny this is not a true original one.
- Viv Albertine – Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys
Viv Albertine was the guitarist in the post-punk band The Slits and their 2 LP's before disbanding ("Cut" from 1979 and "Return of the Giant Slits" from 1980) are to me timeless classics. She wrote her memoirs last year in 2014 and I had read so many great reviews of this book that it made me want to read it…and indeed what a shocker.
The name of the book came from a quote her mum used to tell her, like "this is the only thing you are interested in" and indeed Viv talks a lot about this in her book but not only. The first part is great and the more traditional one for those like me who love music biographies : the not so glamorous life of punk rock stars, her long relationship with Mick Jones from The Clash, her sharing her flat with Sid Vicious from the Sex Pistols, the first shows, etc… Her style is really punchy and she describes very well the almost-normal life these musicians had at that time, having no conscience whatsoever in being part of something that literally changed the world. Not that far from how Tracey Thorn was describing her day to day life with Ben Watt when they started Everything But The Girl… but with less crunchy sex details…
But what makes this book really moving is the second part where Viv describes her post-musician years : the loss of purpose, the quest for a normal life, all her health issues,… basically quite normal stuff but wrote from the point of view of a woman of our ages with all her hopes and struggles. Very much recommended.

Looking for things to do in Estes Park while staying with us? Have you ever heard of geocaching? It's a mix of scavenger hunting and treasure-finding, made possible with the power of modern GPS technology. "Caches" are usually about the size of a Tupperware container or soda can, and they're most often hidden in plain sight--in the hole of a tree, the underside of a pay phone, or the back of a guard rail. Their GPS coordinates are then listed online, which gives others the chance to exchange token items and sign the log at the cache--if you can find them! How many are there? Millions have been listed in locations spanning the globe, including a collection near our Estes Park lodging!
This is the Across the Divide GeoTour, hosted by the Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. To participate, you just need a GPS device (which many smartphones are equipped for) and a GeoTour passport that can be acquired at the Grand Valley Visitors Center or printed from their website. After that, just enter the codes listed to the Geocache website and you'll be off to find up to 50 caches in Estes Park, Grand Lake and the Rocky Mountain National Park. (So as to leave no trace on their environment, the RMNP hosts picture- and activity-based "EarthCaches" instead.)
Those new to Geocaching are often surprised at just how much fun this activity really is! Finding a cache is about more than following a map--oftentimes, you'll need to search the specified location quite closely before finding the hidden stash, although it may turn out to have been under your nose the whole time! Try it for yourself and get a closer look at the beautiful landscape that surrounds Aspen Winds.


text: New York producer Jenaux is becoming one of my fave people to chat with over the facebooks, because we actually talk about everyday life stuff and laugh at how ridiculous is all is! We also run with the same circle of friends so we get to talk about how ridiculous they are as well, and how much we love them! I think the best part about working in this stupid industry is the people you meet and the friends you make - they're like none other; a special breed of human who has a stupid high tolerance for pain and abuse that this industry can bring, and we just bond instantly! That's Jenaux - he's pretty great, and holy mack he makes amazing music to boot! This new original "Get It On" is his first original track in close to a year, and he's coming back strong with French electro Justice like vibes over dance floor disco beats crossed with future bass feels ... he brought the fire!

Identifying Animal Tracks Makes Winter Less of a Drag
It isn't a secret that most city dwellers have complicated relationships with winter (myself included). When the weather takes a turn for the worse, it seems to have a domino effect on urban centres, increasing traffic and slowing everything to a halt. I used to roll my eyes every time it started to snow, but this year I'm planning on doing things a bit differently ― with the help of some furry friends.
Use this printable guide the for your next winter animal tracking adventure.
Take this quiz to test your knowledge at the end of your read.
During my daily treks to and from work, and during my weekend hikes, I've started looking down and around for evidence of local wildlife ― whether through their tracks, middens (feeding evidence) or scat (that's poop!). Turns out, I'm not alone.
Depending on the habitat you're walking in, the types of species will differ. For example, you'll see different animal signs when walking through a forest than you would in a residential park. The most common tracks to see in both of these areas are from a rabbit, such as eastern cottontail, or a red or grey squirrel. Both species' tracks appear a bit backwards to us two-legged, upright humans. Their bigger hind feet appear in front of their smaller, front feet. You can tell the difference between the two as squirrel prints are side-by-side (with grey squirrels being twice the size as red squirrels) and usually lead to a tree, while rabbit tracks are more staggered and roughly make the shape of a triangle.
Other signs of urban visitors you might come across are mice, voles, raccoons or opossums. Mice and voles tracks are small and even, and sometimes leave a tiny mark from their tail. In deeper snow, look for tunnels just under the surface, where these rodents find food and warmth. Raccoon and opossum tracks are my favorites, since they look like tiny hands in the snow.
If you're really lucky, you may come across some fox or coyote prints next time you're on a winter nature hike in the forest. Depending on the density of the snow, you may see a neatly indented paw print. If the snow is deep, it may just look like an oval-shaped print. Either way, these species tend to walk by putting one paw in front of another, creating a narrow, straight track. Unlike dog tracks, which tend to wander more, coyotes and foxes usually walk in straighter lines.
There's something special about seeing a wild animal in its natural environment, but seeing the signs they leave behind — but not necessarily the individual itself — is like solving a mini-mystery. I love seeing a track preserved in the snow and trying to decipher which species could have left it.
Recently, I was walking my dogs and found a pristine track along my driveway. It seems as if an eastern cottontail had made its way along my walking route, almost walking paw in foot with me.
As a former winter-whiner, I'm learning to embrace the white, fluffy stuff, and tolerate the fact that for most of the time between December and March, I can't feel my face. To distract, I now look for evidence of my favorite animal frolicking about and know that I am not alone.

It's been a week or so now since I last posted and truth be told my situation has not improved much. With the playback of the Flower's Barrow recording I assumed that would be the end of it and initially I believed this to be true. The house felt 'cleansed' I felt relaxed and the family were, once again, treating each other with a greater degree of respect and tolerance. I was more than ready to leave this episode behind me and continue with my average, normal life, back to work, back to reality! I really wish that this was the case but, unfortunately for me, things still aren't right, since the first few encounters with the souls released from the voice recorder I have been on edge, or should I say hovering on the edge. I feel I need to rewind a few days and explain myself slightly better.
In the days that followed the apparent resolution of the Flower's Barrow affair I felt happier and more relaxed but, as I have mentioned previously, the whole concept of a project like this existing let alone yielding any success had raised a great many serious questions. Fundamentally, communicating with the dead i.e. conscious sentient thought somehow transcending death and the belief, folklore and mythology that surround this. If some of the old stories and legends are true concerning ghosts, poltergeists and spirits then what else is true? In this age of science and hard fact we find it so convenient to assume that our ancestors and forebears were ignorant and less intelligent that us but this is very clearly not the case. Academics and scholars for centuries have hypothesised and theorised and given birth to the basic laws that rule our physical world today. It is so hypocritical to accept some of these as fact and dismiss others as nonsense.
A friend of mine is currently on holiday in
and has told me some rather interesting facts. Hang a moment; I'm getting ahead of myself. Romania
In the days following the burying of the hard drive I began to witness odd occurrences, shadows at the periphery of my vision. Initially I put it down to paranoia, again, but felt that something within me had changed. As the days passed these incidents increased in frequency and intensity. The shadows would remain for a second longer and take on a more noticeable shape and form, sometimes I could almost see facial expressions and features. This activity combined with my thoughts on the existence of the paranormal and supernatural has given me the drive to delve further.
As I was saying, a friend is currently on holiday in
Romania, Transylvania to be precise, and the currently held belief is that werewolves exist. Vampires are generally accepted as folklore and myth BUT the whole werewolf thing is accepted as fact. This merely reinforces my point, who is to say what beliefs are true and which are not.
I have decided to begin by looking into these shadows that I have begun to see. Why have I started seeing them now? What are they? Can they see and hear me? What 'stories' exist to explain this?
More later.

- A Fantastic Golf Club
Have played the Wilson Triton DVD for a little more than a month. Longer than my beloved Nike Vapor that has now been assigned to my travel set. How does this club play? Straight and forgiving. Launches high without ballooning. Minimal distance lost on shots hit near crown. Toe hits lose distance but seem to avoid trouble because the dispersion pattern is so tight. It is difficult to hit this club wildly offline. Have not experimented with the myriad adjustments, but I'm figuring a trip to the range will get me more distance with the carbon fiber sole plate. Here's my final word on the Triton. My brother in law is looking for a new driver. I suggested to him that he buy the Triton, and if he didn't like it better than the Ping he is now playing, he could just slide it into the bag I keep at his home for Northern rounds and that I would gladly pay him the full purchase price.

Grade: 83/A-
Fans of Romanian director Cristian Mungiu have waited five long years for the return of one of Europe's most talented filmmakers, but they have not waited in vain. Mungiu's Palme D'Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, about two women seeking a black market abortion in communist Romania, was an almost unbearably intense realist masterpiece. Now, Mungiu's Beyond the Hills takes another look at turmoil in a repressive environment in what's an early contender for being one of the year's best films.
Voichita (Cosmina Stratan) is a young woman who has recently taken vows as a nun in an Orthodox convent in Romania. Alina (Cristina Flutur), an old friend from the orphanage she grew up in, has just arrived from Germany. The two young women had a relationship in the past which Alina would like to restart, but Voichita remains faithful to her vows. Depressed, Alina's behavior grows more and more erratic. Gradually, the priest (Valeriu Andriuta) and nuns come to the conclusion that Alina has been possessed by a demon, and that they must perform an exorcism, but their actions will take a terrible toll on Alina's mental and physical health.
As with 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, Mungiu proves himself to be a master of stillness. Every long dinner-table scene in masterful in its framing, contrasting the religious group's piousness, Alina's mixture of bile and sorrow, and Voichita's confliction. Mungiu is particularly gifted when showcasing moments of unpredictable, jarring movement within the stillness, as with a scene of fish being dumped into a sink; Alina confronting the priest about the legend of a mystical idol in his altar; and any scene where Alina has to be held or tied down, often writhing against bodies with unbelievable fury. It doesn't hurt that Mungiu has again found two wonderful amateur actresses in the soulful, calm Stratan and the volatile Flutur.
As with his earlier film, Mungiu is getting at the truth of repression's effect on humanity. True, Alina's behavior often endangers either others or herself, but much of that comes from the dominating presence of the priest (well played by Andriuta), a creepy patriarchal figure referred to by the nuns as "daddy" who determines what is proper or improper for women. That soul-eroding effect extends to Voichita, whose implied feelings of self-loathing for her homosexuality is borne of the oppressive nature of the fanatical religious. When Alina's mental and emotional health plummets, it is the group's ignorance and superstition that ultimately leads to tragedy, not the presence of a supernatural force.
Even so, there's a certain amount of balance here, as the secular forces who later condemn the religious are even less inclined to help Alina. Beyond the Hills is sometimes a trying film, long (145 mins), furious, and designed to make viewers with even a modicum of impatience to scream out "just hurry up, already!". But it's also a deeply moving film, one about people torn between the hopes of their faith and the harsh realities of the secular world, all bound to lose their innocence.

Dear BabyBird,
You are really talking up a storm these days, and one of the funniest parts has been your attachment to Mama turning into orders regarding her presence. The other day when she was out you woke up mid-nap from a nightmare wand wanted nothing to do with me. You just sat there in the corner of your crib, arms shaking, saying "oh no…". Drink? No. Blankie? No! Mi-mi? No. So I asked what you wanted, and of course you said "Mama!". Well, she wasn't home so I told you you wasn't there. And your response was "Get her."
Really? Okay, let me just snap my fingers and get her right in for ya. You see, I don't actually have the ability to summon Mama on a whim. She kind of does her own thing. Chances are if she was home, your sudden screaming wake was the best chance to get her up here in a heartbeat, so if that didn't happen she is really not home. Sorry. But on the bright side, after this you calmed down quite a bit, negotiated for a drink after all, and cuddled right back up for the rest of your nap.
I love you being able to tell us what you want or need now, really, even if I can't always do it! "Get her" and "get it" for all sorts of other things recently are a fun step in the direction of two-way conversation. Between that and all your questions, pointing everything in the world out to us, animal sounds, and singing – the alphabet, "Drip Drip Drop", and "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" (sometimes with the wrong parts subbed in for hilarity) are all favorites – we are getting quite an earful.
Best of all though, along with demanding that I get Mama or pick up a toy you're also able to quite eloquently ask for a hug or a kiss, high five, or fist bump, which are especially heartwarming when you pick up on us not being happy about something and are trying to make it better. Or other times are just delaying going to bed. Either way, we'll take it!

It's the Burger Hunter! Mike S. gets a ton fan mail from our readers and from restaurants, in fact more than the rest of us! Check out all The Burger Hunter's meaty exploits at the #GreatAmericanBurgerHunter tag on Instagram.
Now that you've celebrated our Independence, it's a good time to pledge your loyalty to a guilty pleasure or two. Mine and yours is Five Guys. You can still be a foodie or a locavore or whatever, you'll still work these fine fellas into your mix. They do it right, folks. Fresh AH. FR! Pro tip: There's no freezer in any Five Guys restaurant. So they got that going for them, which is nice. Ingredients are always popping. The Bacon Cheeseburger with two patties is the Ave I went down. Went naked this time just to taste the beef, but I strongly suggest adding some garden. The meat is v good and mo def Five Guys flavor. Not sure if it's in the light seasoning or just the beef. Patties are seared up but not crispy. Very juicy inner with American cheese wads coming correct in each bite. Think classic double 1/4 pounder but the best one you've ever had. Bacon on the bottom. Not sure why but it's down there and in pieces. Not strips. The bun is sesame, good enough but not great by any means. Fries are woke and potato is from the farm they post on the wall. Fried in peanut oil. My fav part is the bag fries. Their bit is to dump a ton of extras in your bag with all the food. It's like a Ricki Bonus. Now if you know what that is we all impressed! Another nice touch is the free peanut gallery. Hey it's summer, go nuts!

University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Reviews
I entered the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse in January of 1997 so please take this information with historical perspective as cell phones were not part of everyday life when I attended the school. Like any first time undergraduate college student, I was at a point in my life where I was trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life. I didn't really have a passion for a career pursuit and just happened to select the major I did because I had an older cousin that had went through the program and she recommended it. After listening to her describe how involved her professors were with coursework, I decided to pursue the degree program (Recreation Management). I learned quickly that this career path was full of lively, energetic and fun-loving students. The program curriculum focused on preparing managers to develop and administer recreational programming for youth, teens, adults and senior citizens. This concept of community development helped me view the world as collaborative through engagement in play. A favorite quote of mine that I learned through my undergraduate studies was "You can learn more about a person during an hour of play, than in a year of conversation" - Plato. I believe this quotation summarizes my undergraduate experience in a nutshell and I would highly recommend the program for intellectual learning and self reflection of our true roles in life. I would caution students to make sure they have clearly identified pathways to employment. That is one area that I didn't spend a lot of time considering and found it challenging to find an entry-level position upon graduation. This led me to pursue graduate school and further my studies which opened a new career path in Facilities management.
The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is an excellent institution, well-equipped to prepare students of all backgrounds for a vast array of careers. I've personally found Career Services, German Department faculty, and general education instructors to be especially helpful. UWL was able to help me realize undergraduate options I did not previously think possible with my intended graduate school (attending PA School with a German Studies degree, for example). UWL is filled with passionate educators genuinely interested in the betterment of its student body. As a person heavily involved in both the College of Liberal Studies and the College of Science and Health, I can safely say the aforementioned statement does not apply to just one college. One potential drawback within UWL is its focus on student independence--I have found that those who succeed the most here are ambitious people willing to seek out assistance on their own. Student advisors will often only help students who reach out and schedule appointments with them. The same applies to professors in many of the larger departments. I have found this characteristic of the University to be advantageous, but not all may share this sentiment. Overall, I would recommend UWL to many students wishing to attend an affordable, beautiful University in La Crosse, WI. I have learned more about myself than I ever thought possible attending this institution, and I have no regret in selecting UWL as my college of undergraduate study.
The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is a smaller school with the maximum size of a class holding 100 students. Once you get into the Therapeutic Recreation program, you get to know all the professors and your cohort extremely well. Each class covers each criteria that you will have to know in order to take the exam. The program is well known by many of its internship agencies and the success rate for passing the national exam is high (85-95 percent). The professors take the time to get to know you personally and push each student to their maximum potential. You leave the program feeling well trained and ready for experiences within internship and when applying for jobs.
UW La Crosse is a great school that offers many degree options. I chose to pursue a bachelor's in biology as a gateway to graduate school in a health profession. I am well prepared to begin my Masters of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, using my degree from UWL.
UW-L is a great campus to pursue a degree in Liberal Arts. One of the best aspects about UW-L is the class size. Classes are small, about 20 to 40 people depending on the class. Therefore you get more hands-on learning with classmates. Also the professors are great and are always there if you need to talk to them about anything. They really care about your education. I have only had 1 bad professor is the time I attended UW-L.
I am so happy with my decision to earn my undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The class sizes are small which allows you to build a relationship with your professor. None of the classes are taught by teaching assistants, only by the professor. The professors are available often for office hours and are always willing to help you succeed. The campus is small enough where you feel safe, and there is plenty to do in the La Crosse area, from bluff hiking and canoeing, to exploring historic downtown La Crosse!
The University of Wisconsin La Crosse has a beautiful campus and a great LGBTQ center called the Pride Center. Most instructors are very friendly and easy to approach, and the class sizes are not too big. Each class size consists of about 30 students. I really wish they would have been more realistic about what a bachelor's degree in Sociology has to offer in the real world (my BA is worth absolutely nothing in today's competitive job market).
Although it does not come with must prestige, it is a great school and can spring board you to a great future. Next year I will attend a prestigious graduate program, so it is not impossible to continue moving up after graduating from this undergraduate program. The teachers are particularly good.
UW La Crosse is a beautiful, closed campus where you are surrounded by friendly and compassionate peers and professors. There are an unimaginable amount of organizations for you to get involved in, there's something for every taste! The professors truly care about your success, and are helpful and understanding. Class sizes are relatively small, so you don't feel like just another student. The surrounding town is exciting and entertaining, so there's never a dull moment. Trust me, if you're looking for a safe, personable campus, La Crosse is the place for you!
The Elementary Education program at UWL is phenomenal. The professors have incredible teaching experiences and the ability to share those with students in an effective manner. They care about the well being of each teacher candidate, and the educator that they will become. UWL prepares teacher candidates for their role as educators with in classrom experiences early and often, as well as classes that teach fundamentals and prepare educators for exams like the PRAXIS and FORT. I am so thankful for the connections that I made with educators and colleagues alike through UWL and would not trade that experience for anything.

Beauty, Safety and Security in Kids' Jewelry
Parents purchase kids' jewelry for many purposes. It can be as gifts for special occasions like birthdays, graduations and other milestones in life. It can be for its symbolic purposes like warding away evil, as is the case with many cultures. It can be as a status symbol that, indeed, the parents can afford to buy their kids expensive jewelry in addition to their basic needs.
No matter the reasons for giving your children pieces of jewelry, you must take into account certain criteria. Keep in mind that it is not only beauty that concerns jewelry but safety and security issues as well. Here then are a few of the important things to remember when purchasing children's jewelry.
Beauty Aspect
Your first consideration with kids' jewelry will understandably be about beauty. After all, jewelry is designed to enhance the appearance of the wearer depending on its placement, materials and design. For example, a bracelet on a kids' wrist may enhance the cute appearance of her dimpled hand.
You may also choose jewelry based on color. If your daughter has blue eyes, you can accent their vivid color with earrings made from blue-colored gemstones like topaz, sapphire and even blue Swarovski crystals.
Your choice can also be affected by the recipients' favorite color as seen in her wardrobe. For example, if your daughter has a primarily pink and red wardrobe, then crystals and gemstones in these colors are good choices.
Safety Issues
After you have considered the beauty of kids' jewelry, your next step is to look at its safety. You want the kids to look beautiful or handsome in their pieces of jewelry but you also want them to be safe in terms of physical health. In this regard, keep these things in mind when choosing jewelry for kids:
• Choking hazards in jewelry must be avoided. Small parts like beads, stones, charms and lockets may look cute to the eyes but definitely not when lodged in a child's throat. Purchase jewelry in one piece for older children with younger children possibly waiting for a few more years after their mouth exploration phase has passed.
• Materials used in the jewelry must be considered for their potentially toxic effects. For example, lead and mercury may be present in the jewelry – a definite no-no in kids' jewelry. This also goes true for metals to which kids may be allergic to such as nickel.
• Durability in design is also a must. You want the piece to be sufficiently durable to last the rigors of a teen's or a child's life from playing to studying.
Security Concerns
Last, you have to ensure that your kids understand the proper places and proper behavior when wearing jewelry. Crowded places like malls, schools and parks are not the proper venues for fine, antique and heirloom jewelry since loss, theft and other accidents can happen in these places.
You may also want to look into insurance for these pieces of jewelry. Homeowner's and renter's insurance only cover up to only $1,000 and $500, respectively, which may be insufficient to cover the value of the jewelry.
When you have considered all of these aspects, you can then choose the kids' jewelry that best suits your child's age, style and preference. All these without draining your bank account, of course.

Long distance relationships are difficult; these types of relationships typically begin after a holiday abroad or meeting somebody on a dating site, who lives in another country.
For western men and women popular holiday choices might be (for women) the West Indies, Kenya, Gambia, Turkey, Senegal, Bali and Jordan. For men the preferred hotspots are Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Kenya and Japan.
After the person returns home, contact is usually kept up via the internet, Skype or social media and the feelings intensify. Over time the deep feelings lead to a need to support and help the girlfriend or boyfriend living aboard, who might be living in unfortunate circumstances or are in financial difficulty.
Money is sent to help pay for school, illness or everyday living expenses and plans might be made to marry, or buy property or a business together. The overseas girlfriend or boyfriend will usually claim they are being faithful and in a monogamous relationship and they may possibly say the money being sent has meant they have changed their lifestyle, they say they love you and look forward to your next visit, in fact they are lying to you and cheating you out of your money by pretending they love you and there is nobody else in their life.
Fidelity Check Online can help check for cheaters in a long distance relationship, simply sign up and register the details of your partner with us and let us keep a watchful eye on them for you. Its not always about the money its about peace of mind too!

Chapter 2?
Draft Day Triumph or Disaster?
In his first major player move as a Bobcat executive, Jordan trades the #8 pick for a veteran shooting guard in Jason Richardson. Stephen A. says "stupid, stupid, stupid." Why all the commotion?
For those who don't know me, I'm an active poster on a few pretty heavily trafficked message boards. Why do I bring this up? In one way, it's just to let you know why a noob to BobcatsPlanet.com is writing a blog. But, the real reason is to tell you about my draft night.
First off, I love talking about basketball online, just like most of you. I had talked about setting up an chat with another forum so people could talk instantly. Because of my job, I get a lot of time during the summer to post ad nauseum about basketball. I was ready for a dramatic night of mega- blockbuster trades, franchise changing picks, and unreasonably loud commentary by Stephen A. Smith and Dick Vitale.
[Can you imagine attending the dinner they mentioned as the bet for which draft was better?
Stephen: YO, DICKIE! PASS ME THE SALT!!
Dick: YOU WANT THE SALT, BABY! A THREE INCH CYLINDER OF SEASONING GOODNESS! DON'T COME AT ME WITH THIS TALK OF PEPPER OR OREGANO! ALL THE SO CALLED EXPERTS ARE TALKING ABOUT CURRY POWDER, AND THEY FORGET ABOUT SALT, AN HISTORICALLY PROVEN WINNER.
Stephen: THAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF IN MY LIFE.
Dick: CAN I GET A NAPKIN?
Stephen: O.K. HERE YA GO! BUT DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT SALT!]
However, I found myself visiting my in-laws, who supposedly had internet access back up. While I was excited to see a broadband box on the table when I walked in, a service guy was coming out until the next day to actually install some chip in the back of the house. To make matters worse, they have satellite. A storm came over the area that knocked out the feed from 6:44-6:57. With my soda and snacks ready for the duration of the draft, I sat there silently staring at the TV, waiting for the feed to come back on. I had to ask myself, would I be able to psychologically handle not being able to see the draft AND not being able to find out about it over the internet. It was a profound moment in my life. I watched the leaves shake in a tree outside. I heard the rain. IT WAS DEEP, BABY!
The feed comes back on, I open up the chips, and get ready for the night. I'm upset about not being able to chit-chat without the other feverish Bobcat fans out there, but I'm content.
The next five hours, as I'm sure many of you experienced, I'm sure, was a bit of roller coaster. I had mixed feelings about everything related to the Bobcats, but ultimately felt pretty positive. These are my thoughts on the draft and the last couple of days of the Bobcat's organization:
Jason Richardson
For a moment, I'm putting aside all implications of the trade and just focusing on Jason Richardson, the player. Richardson fills an obvious need for the Bobcats: a shooting guard who can hit from outside and provide athleticism in the backcourt. He's a proven veteran, yet still young, who was very successful in this past year's playoffs, where a player's talents don't automatically translate. He and Wallace will put on an alley-oop clinic on a nightly basis. Yo, a Golden State fan coming to share the love on BobcatsPlanet , pointed out that Richardson does have a lack of handle, but makes up for it with great movement off the ball. The Bobcats had little in the offensive zone this year, which could be contributed to poor coaching or young players. However, Richardson should help us out tremendously in this area, hopefully opening things up for everyone else.
People tend to dismiss Richardson as high flyer with a limited skill set, mainly because he won a slam dunk contest and then was forgotten on terrible Warrior squads. However, Richardson can get boards, hit from outside, and make defenders pay for taking an eye off of him. Aside from his skills, fans seem to love his intangibles: hard work, dedication, good character, and love for the fans. Many Warrior message boards seemed quite sad about Richardson leaving. After all, the guy bought full page newspaper ads to apologize for his team being bad. Who does that in professional sports?
Jared Dudley
I have to admit, when our pick came around and Morris Almond was available, I was elated! With Wright, Almond would have been the perfect second pick to give us much needed outside shooting. When Stern announced Jared Dudley, I was a bit stunned to say the least. Obviously, it makes more sense after the Richardson trade.
The verdict seems to be out about Dudley, though most say he'll be a quality baller for any team. He seems to be a future role player for us, so I'm not going too much into his game. He'll be a great locker room guy, practice hard, and give us some solid minutes on the court. He can give us some different looks as a small, scoring four or rebounding three. Even if he doesn't become the next Shane Battier or Josh Howard, he could be valuable to us by modeling the little things and giving us some heart on the court.
Jermareo Davidson
Obviously, Davidson is a project. Word is, he can rebound and block shots, but has a very limited offensive game. He also needs to bulk up. GWfan, a Crimson Tide follower, says he's incredibly raw as a freshman and has grown in what he does on the court. He's been through some horrific tragedies this past year, yet still played great. Not know much about the kid, he seems like a guy who will work hard and develop his game. If he can fill Emeka's role for 15 minutes a night, he's certainly worth it. Acquiring Davidson, even as a project, makes the Dudley pick make more sense.
For more on Davidson, check out GWfan's post on the Observer message board. (link above)
The Trade
In the eyes of most professional analysts, we went from getting the steal of the draft to getting looted by Golden State. To most Bobcat fans we went from drafting another Tar Heel to getting a shooting guard we desperately need. Why is their so much disparity in the opinions? These are the two divergent views of the Bobcats situation:
- We are a dangerous team that can upset the best in the NBA on any given night. With a solid go to guy to help us at the end of the game, we're a playoff team for the next 6-7 years.
- The NBA playoffs are won through seven game series that almost always have the better team winning. The Bobcats simply do not have the talent to compete over the next couple of years to be any kind of legitimate title contender. As such, you draft to win tomorrow rather than today.
Many commentators (Read: local newspaper columnists, message board posters, the guy at work) believe that the Bobcats have to prove themselves to the community in order to be taken seriously as a team. As such, they need to spend money to try and win now. Even for people who see the big picture of building a franchise felt the sting of losing so many close games. Acquiring Richardson, assuming we resign Wallace, answers the call of whether Johnson is committed to winning, even if it's division championships rather than NBA championships. The big question becomes, did the trade hurt our chances of winning the whole thing later down the road? Did we leverage our future by aiming to get more casual fans and more immediate wins?
When the Bulls acquired Ben Wallace, several commentators pointed out that while Chicago was young, they needed to win in the next couple of years before Lebron and Wade took complete control of the East. Why do I mention this, since the West seems a lock to win the next couple of championships? With so many strong young players, there's just no way of knowing who will be a legitimate contender or not. If Duncan, Nash, and Dirk own now and Lebron and Wade own the next "now," when do you aim your team to win? Do we write off the next ten years, stockpiling picks and waiting for the one season when we can win the title?
We can make this move, aim for winning now, and still try and be a legitimate contender later. We've got young players at every position that can plan now and have upside. If we follow the Pistons formula of quality guys at each position, we can win despite not having three or four all-stars. Vincent is going to have to make the most of each player, pushing guys like Felton, Morrison, and May to step up their game. However, with so many rookie contracts, we're in a good position to resign the true ballers and let the others walk if they don't pan out. Ideally, we'll have established our identity and will be able to get the right free agent rookies to run with our squad.
Overall, I feel good about draft night, save the lack of internet and glaring possibility of loss of reception. We've got a more solid team after the trade than we did before it, without completely compromising our future. Sure Wright could turn into Chris Bosh. But he could also turn into the next Kwame Brown. Jordandidn't let himself make that same mistake twice. Because of Jordan's move, we're about to see a very exciting new chapter to the Bobcats' franchise.
And if nothing else, we'll be the champions of YouTube.
