Study Abroad
University of Illinois
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
This information is for Illinois students participating in programs sponsored by Student International Academic Affairs - Study Abroad Office (SIAA-SAO). Please familiarize yourself with the policies outlined below concerning:
Your costs fall into two categories: those billed by the University of Illinois to your Student Account through UI-Integrate ("billable costs") and those paid by you directly at the point of purchase ("non-billable costs").
Billable costs include the Student International Academic Affairs (SIAA) Program Fee and University of Illinois Tuition and Fees.
The SIAA Program Fee will appear on your study abroad budget, Confirmation of Participation, and your Illinois Student Account on UI-Integrate as two separate items: Instruction and Fees/SIAA Program Fee and Miscellaneous Fees/SIAA Program Fee (NT).
The overall SIAA Program Fee will vary according to your study abroad program. The list below shows the charges that could be included in this fee. For program-specific details, please refer to your student abroad budget and Confirmation of Participation.
Fees that are NOT included in the SIAA Program Fee are considered "non-billable" costs and will be addressed in the next section.
This fee covers the costs of study abroad advising, processing of applications, pre-departure guidance, orientation and workshops, program and advising materials, continued support while students are abroad, 24-hour emergency access to the Advisor-on-Duty, returnee programming, and study abroad academic credit and grade articulation processing.
Minimum SIAA Administrative Fees (subject to change):
As a student participating in an academic experience for which you will earn Illinois credit, you will be registered as an Illinois student for your term abroad and will pay Illinois tuition. In addition to earning Illinois credit, remaining registered with and paying tuition at the University of Illinois will entitle you to obtain:
The amount (or "range") of tuition and fees you pay to Illinois will depend on:
To determine the tuition and fees range that you will pay, please identify your type of study abroad program from the list below:
As a point of reference, please note that when you are on campus and enrolled in 12 credit hours or more, you pay Range I Tuition and Fees. For a breakdown of credit hours and Tuition Ranges, visit the registrar's website.
To determine the exact amount of tuition and fees that you will pay based on your Academic College, Curriculum, and Year of Entry:
Tuition rates for the fall and spring semester in an academic year are the same; these rates are usually updated during the summer. Tuition rates for the summer term are typically published in late spring.
In addition to University of Illinois Tuition, you will be assessed Campus Fees based on your Tuition Range. To determine the Campus Fees that you will pay, please look here for undergraduate students and here for graduate and professional students. Typically, study abroad students will pay the General Fee, AFMFA Fee, Library Fee, and Illinois Student Health Insurance Fee (unless you have exempted out of it).
Non-billable costs are charges not billed through the University of Illinois. In other words, you will need to make payment for that cost directly to the entity that billed you. These cost items could include some of the following:
Please note that you may need to pay for many of these charges in advance, while others may be due upon arrival. In many of these instances, the due date for payment falls before financial aid and scholarships are dispersed. In other words, if you are relying on financial aid or scholarships to pay for these items, you will need to use other sources of funds before your financial aid and/or scholarships is/are credited to your Illinois Student Account.
If you have questions after reading this section and reviewing your study abroad program budget, please contact the Study Abroad Office by calling (217) 333-6322 or sending an e-mail to email@example.com.
Withdrawal Fee
If the Study Abroad Office accepts you to the study abroad program you applied for, you will be asked to commit electronically within a specified period of time. After you have committed electronically, if you withdraw from your program, your student account will be billed a non-refundable $300 Withdrawal Fee. Exceptions to this are:
If you are participating in a program administered by a third party, such as Alliance, Arcadia, IES, IFSA-Butler, or Minnesota, you will likely be asked to pay a program deposit directly to your program provider; the exception is CIEE.
This deposit will be applied to the overall cost of your program fee. Please be advised that the program deposit will be due very likely before your study abroad financial aid and/or scholarships is/are dispersed.
SIAA Program Fee and Illinois Tuition and Fees
These fees are billed to your Illinois student account around the same time that the term begins at the University of Illinois. The general time frame for billing is:
At the beginning of each month, University of Illinois students receive email notifications in their official University email accounts stating that their E-Bills are available online. When you study abroad, you will continue to receive E-Bills from Illinois. Payment procedures for study abroad charges on your Illinois Student Account are the same as when you study on campus.
Accessing your E-Bill
To access your E-Bill:
Authorizing Others to View your E-Bill and Make Payments
In addition to receiving notification in your university email account regarding your most current E-Bill, you may designate up to two additional addresses to receive the E-Bill notification. This is useful as it will allow your parent/guardian or other individual to receive E-Bill notifications and to make payments on your behalf.
To authorize others to view and pay your E-Bill, follow all the steps listed in the previous section until "Student Account". Once on the Student Account page, click on "Authorize Payers" and follow the instructions on the screen.
The Authorized Payer page will ask you to set up a login name and password for your designated payer. The system will automatically send an email to the new Authorized Individual with the login name you created for them and an Authorized Individual link. You are responsible for providing the new password to your Authorized Individual.
After someone has been set up as an Authorized Individual, the Authorized Individual may log in to the UI-Pay Authorized Individual website by going to https://quikpayasp.com/uillinois/campus/tuition/authorized.do
Authorized individuals will be able to:
Because of FERPA regulations, University Student Financial Services and Cashier Operations (USFSCO) and the Study Abroad Office cannot release any information concerning your account to anyone other than you without your permission. If another individual is responsible for paying your Student Account, PLEASE AUTHORIZE THE PAYING PARTY TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT.
On your MyStudyAbroad account, which you access through https://www.studyabroad.illinois.edu, you will find the online questionnaire called Release Account Information. Please use this form to designate the individual(s) who will be in charge of your financial matters while you are abroad. The Study Abroad Office will only be able to discuss your bill with the person(s) you designate on the form. Note that this authorization pertains to questions related to your Illinois Student Account only. It does NOT permit the Study Abroad Office to discuss other matters, such as academics or travel itinerary.
Please make sure that you also complete the Authorized Payer page on your Student Account page on UI-Integrate.
University payment policies, due dates, and instructions for paying your E-Bill can be found at http://www.usfsco.uillinois.edu/Payments.html#Due. This website includes information about the University's Payment Plan.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to give someone the authority to sign your name on your behalf. We recommend that you designate a Power of Attorney before you go abroad in the event that you are unable to be present to sign a document on your own. This can be necessary in cases of signing financial documents, such as financial aid, signing a housing lease.
To obtain a free Power-of-Attorney, you could visit Student Legal Services (SLS), 324 Illini Union. Information is also available at http://www.odos.uiuc.edu/sls/. NOTE that in order to access this service, you must have paid the SORF Fee and not claimed the SORF Fee refund for the semester prior to your departure. SLS is only available during the regular academic semesters. In other words, all consultations must be done before the end of each semester in December (fall semester) and May (spring semester).
If you anticipate using financial aid (including grants, scholarships, loans, etc.) to pay for study abroad, you must submit a copy of your study abroad program budget to the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA). Your study abroad advisor will distribute this to you via e-mail and/or post it to the Documents section on your MyStudyAbroad account. You will be responsible for submitting the program budget to OSFA.
The amount of financial aid that is applicable to study abroad will depend on your financial aid package. Since there are many variables that determine how your financial aid package applies to study abroad, it is best that you consult with a financial aid adviser in OSFA to discuss your individual financial aid package.
If you have questions about your financial aid package for your term abroad, please take a copy of your official budget to OSFA. If the official program budget for your term abroad is not yet available, please use the estimated budget. To find a copy of your program's estimated budget:
Your Illinois financial aid and/or Illinois study abroad scholarships will be applied to your Illinois Student Account shortly before the beginning of the semester at the University of Illinois and around the same time that you will be billed for the SIAA Program Fee and Illinois Tuition and Fees. Roughly, this corresponds to:
If you still owe money after your financial aid and scholarships are applied to your Student Account, your Student Account will reflect the balance owed. If you have aid or scholarship funds left over, the amount will be deposited into your Direct Deposit account to help you pay for other study abroad-related expenses. If you have not yet set up an account for Direct Deposit, please do so in the "Account Billing Information" section on UI-Integrate. Please note that, occasionally, financial aid or scholarships may credited to your account before all study abroad charges are posted, causing you to get a larger direct deposit than you should have received. Please do NOT spend that money until you know that you have paid your study abroad bills in full.
IMPORTANT: As discussed earlier, you will likely need to pay for various costs before your financial aid and/or scholarships are credited to your Student Account. Such costs may include:
If you applied for financial aid, you may check the status of your financial aid application and your financial aid awards by logging onto your UI-Integrate Self-Service account. NOTE: Summer financial aid requires a separate application and is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are expecting financial aid but it has not credited to your Student Account, you may be able to determine the reason by checking your UI-Integrate Self-Service account, calling OSFA at (217) 333-0100, or visiting the Office of Student Financial Aid, located in the Student Services Arcade, 620 E. John Street.
For more important information about financial aid and study abroad, please visit http://www.osfa.uiuc.edu/aid/special/study_abroad.html.
Non-billable costs can be charged by US-based organizations and businesses or by foreign entities.
If the charge comes from a US-based company, you can make payment as you would for other US-based companies. For instance, if you are participating on an SFS or CET program and need to pay your program's instructional and accommodation fees, you could pay SFS or CET using a credit card or by writing a personal check in US funds to the SFS or CET.
If the charges come from an international partner or company, you should follow the instructions given to you. In most cases, you should be able to pay by one of the following methods:
Since payment methods can vary according to program, please consult your study abroad adviser if you are unclear about the appropriate payment method.
If you have further questions, please contact the Study Abroad Office by calling (217) 333-6322, sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com, or visiting the Study Abroad Office, 112 International Studies Building, Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 4:30 pm.

Nashville doctor Michael Reed, MD of Associated Psychiatrists of Nashville explains below why teens can become depressed and are subject to suicidal tendencies.
His thoughts do not necessary reflect the views of Channel 4 but are meant to offer insight and an opportunity to educate:
"It is very common for depression to begin at puberty. Young adolescents are especially vulnerable to be psychiatrically ill and to not be recognized as such. Instead the symptoms are attributed to adolescent angst.
Depression is inflammation of the limbic system, the primal emotional core of the brain.
When a person is suffering from depression, she is usually excessively self critical. It is the very essence of the condition.
So, if bullied, the self criticism (which is not usually reality based) becomes "validated." Whereas another person might be able to shake off the comments, a depressed individual takes them to heart.
The "kill center" of the brain, the amygdala, is often hypermetabolic (overactive) in depressed people. It's activity turns inward (a fact recognized by Sigmund Freud over 100 yrs ago) and verbally (via thoughts) attacks the depressed person. The result are severe feelings of inadequacy and sometimes suicidal ideation.
Therefore bullying in essence arms the amygdaline with potential negative ideations that could drive a patient to suicide. Sadly, [a child may feel they are] doing the right thing for [their] family and friends by sparing them of having to deal with [them].
Strangely enough, even though you might think of dreary winter months as being the most depressing, in actuality April is the most likely month of the year for a suicides to occur. And if one does, the most likely victim is a young adult or adolescent. Furthermore, the act is often violent (hanging/gunshot/jumping from a high place). Why? Allergens (tree pollen) are at their peaks and drive up inside our bodies inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha), interluekin-1, and interluekin-6.
And, given the prior winter months of cloudiness and then spring months of pollen, vitamin D3 is often a yearly low levels. Why? Pollen and clouds filter out ultra-violet B from the sun which is necessary to convert vitamin D2 to D3 inside our body. Vitamin D3 is important in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. When it becomes too low (below 15 ng/ml), it begins to correlate with suicidal behavior.
Suicide is a mindset that occurs in unhealthy inflamed brains. The danger of suicides in the spring is more than at any time in the year more. Often suicidal people tell a family member, friend, or doctor of the plan before hand. Dispel the myth that people who "are going to do it," "do it", and don't talk about it. It is just not true.
The bullying aspect may be confusing as far as helping the [public] understand that suicide is the response of a sick brain. I would focus less on bullying and more on the nature of suicide.

Join TSN in a 30 teams in 30 days tour of the NHL in preparation for the upcoming season. Teams will be unveiled in reverse order of the pre-season TSN.ca Power Rankings, and the Nashville Predators are up next. Get the lowdown on their off-season and the issues they face this season. Use the Your Call feature to give us your take on the Predators!
Nashville Predators2009-10: 47-29-6 (7th in West, Eliminated in Conference QF by Blackhawks)General Manager: David Poile (13th Season)Head Coach: Barry Trotz (13th Season)
What they did in the off-season:
A couple of key players left Nashville in the off-season, but they also got some big ones in return. The Preds opted to trade Jason Arnott to the Devils for prospect Matt Halischuk and a second-round pick in 2011. The team also traded the rights to sign free agent defender Dan Hamhuis to the Flyers in exchange for Ryan Parent, who is making his return trip to the Music City after being drafted by the Preds in 2005. The team also got rid of goalie Dan Ellis, combining him with forward Dustin Boyd in a trade with the Canadiens that brought talented, yet inconsistent forward Sergei Kostitsyn to Nashville. Signing free agent centre Matt Lombardi to a three-year deal after a career season in Phoenix was another key manoeuvre. Nashville also reunited with its second-round pick from 1999, forward Jonas Andersson, who has been playing in Europe for the past six seasons. The Preds re-signed budding star Patric Hornqvist and added Aaron Johnson in free agency for additional blueline depth. Perhaps the most significant move made by the Preds was the naming of a new captain: 24-year-old defender Shea Weber takes the job from the departed Arnott, a sign that leadership has been turned over to the youth on this team.
Biggest issue facing the team:
While this is a team that grinds on its opponents during the regular season, the Predators – with their revamped roster – play in a wildly competitive Western Conference. The team has never been able to fight past the first round of the playoffs, even though it was the eventual Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks who ended their most recent playoff run. They will gun to go deeper in 2010-11, but it may be tough with the departure of some key leaders.
Player to watch:
While expectations were high for Colin Wilson last season, an early-season groin injury stifled the success last season for the No. 7 pick from the 2008 draft in his first pro season, as he generated just eight goals and 15 points in 35 games. Since he previously had scored 34 points in 40 games at AHL Milwaukee and won an NCAA championship at Boston University, much is anticipated from this young player. With Arnott returning to New Jersey, the first-line centre role is now open, Wilson could well seize it.

One of the most inimitable track events in the world, 13 courageous athletes will step on the track for a 5 kilometer race. After each lap, the runner in last place will be evicted from the track and exiled to an island of shame. The Last Man Standing will bask in the glory of a solo lap of victory, $1500.00 in cold hard cash, and the title of ?Last Man Standing.? There is no immunity, but strategic alliances could play big. Last Man Standing is definitely a thinking man?s race. Do you push the pace hard from the gun, to keep it honest? Or are you confident that you'll always be able to outkick the slowest athlete each lap?
Remember - performing any illegal holds or maneuvers, such as excessive spiking to the leg of an opponent when he/she is entering oxygen debt, hair-pulling, choking or biting an opponent, or repeatedly punching a fellow competitor with a closed fist are all subject to a referee-administered disqualification. Also - any outside interference involving a person not involved in the race striking or holding a runner is forbidden. If a heel attempts to interfere but is ejected from the track by a runner or referee before this occurs, there is usually no disqualification.
Prize Money:
1. $1500
2. $1000
3. $500
4. $250
5. $100
$150 bonus for leader at the mile.

Laser Based Metal Deposition of Implant Structures
|There are more than three million implants each year in the United States. The numbers grow year by year, and the need for improved and more effective processes grows even faster. Scientists at Utah State University have developed a manufacturing method for producing an implant made from traditional or novel implants metals with layers of material having differing densities and structures. The new USU method is satisfying the market need of more reliable and effective medical implants, providing a surface material deposition process that allows for a gradient of materials with varying selective properties to be deposited on the bulk implant material, which will improve the wear, bonding and bone in-growth characteristics.
|Features and Benefits
|A new method has been developed for depositing a hard, wear-resistant surface onto a porous or non-porous base material of a medical implant. The medical implant device is formed by a Laser Based Metal Deposition (LBMD) method. The porous material of the base promotes bone in-growth allowing the implant to fuse strongly with the bone of a patient. After the base structure is formed, additional material is added to the base structure using the laser engineered net shaping (LENS) process. The hard, wear-resistant surface provides device longevity when applied to bearing surfaces such as an artificial joint bearing surface or a dental implant bearing surface.
|Development Stage
|Prototypes exist to continue testing and optimization for various applications.

Nice to see the D shut down Bears and be so aggressive.. amazing no J BUSH and Magic happens thanks football gods!.. for answering my prayers.. "yes i'm Obsessed with him"

This was a good game all around for the Packers, especially the Defense. Clay matthews was spectular. When Nick perry finds his niche and learns more he'll be even more of a force from th opposite side.The same goes for Jerel Worthy he's still learning but he'll grow into his position.If the Defense can bring this kind of effort and the Running game continues to pick up, the Packers will be a ver tough team to beat. GO PACK GO !!!!

I was pretty upset it was on NFL channel that I don't get. I think that stink so many people could not watch them game. I'm a 3-rd generation fan. But so so glad that the pack beat the bears.

Why were we worried a bout Chicago? They have not changed a bit. Same old Cutlery. A little adversity, and he's a crybaby. His interceptions remind of Brett Who. Keeps trying to force the issue. Same old Forte, breaking down in the second half. ARod is true professional. I wonder how long James Jones can continue to drop passes and be a packer. Nevertheless, I confess, I was as worried as every other packer fan. Life is good today, and the future looks great.

defense played lights out but the offense didnt play well at all. i know everyone is happy with the performance but i am a little worried about the offense on how no one wants to catch the freaking ball. Benson was descent but the O-line sucked 5 sacks for A-Rod!!! need to pick up blocks guys and learn the fundamentals of CATCHING THE FOOTBALL!!!!!

Jermichael; just pretend the football is the big, fat, pen you used to ink your last contract. Bet you didn't drop or fumble away that one.
James Jones; game too big for you, honey?

what a great game to help get the defense some recognition. The young drafted talent had to get alot of confidence about playing in big games. Jermichael needs to eliminated the drops.tighten up on carrying the rock. jones, still out on jones same problem.

The recievers had a bad day. Nelson droped a couple passes that would of put the Packers in great scoring position. As well as a few Jones drops and misques. Thank god the RB's came to play. Benson, Kuhn and Cobb? Had a great day running the ball. I love seeing us win in more ways then one. I think that was the problem last year even though we won 15 games. We were just to one dementional.
To win a championship you need your passing game, running game, and defense to be playing well. Look at our 2010 team when we rid into the playoffs we won in all three catagorys, each game we won differently. I hope our team builds around this win.

Where is the Wide Receiver Coach, and who is he? Time to get rid of some of the coaches, and receivers. What is the problem with that lousy offensive line, and where is the blocking to open up holes for the rb's to run through.
Get those lousy referees back, Goodell. How long are you going to go with those misfits? Howlong do you think Arod is going to stay in one piece with that joke of an offensive line. Aaron Rodgers is going to get killed back there. Get some decent offensive tackles and guards who are 350lbs. Hey, Coach McCarthy, Get with it or get lost!

I agree with gbpfan4life. Matthews even this early in his career, it's not too early to start thinking Hall Of Fame. I don't think we have to look at his numbers after his career and wonder he he has a shot at the hall. Clearly, this guy is special!. Last year when his numbers were down, he still found ways to influence it's outcome. On defense he is the Packers trump card. Go Pack. Take Care!!

The pack won a big game. The D showed up, but was it for just one game? Again the O line was sort of non commital. The running game, was there, but not terrific yet. A rod was pretty darn good seeing as how he had to run for his life. I cant understand how a valuable property like A Rod and some of the other packers are being jeoprodized by having some very weak spots arouind them. Why cant our great recievers catch the ball? Why cant we block? Well, as I said before, maybe we are getting better overall, but we stil have some very weak spots to contend with. The 49ers are for real, and they handled us pretty well. I just watched Sunday football, and there are a lot of good teams and players out there that are yet to come for us. Can we handle them. Maybe.
and without luck, maybe not. We have to get better in some areas.
By Kenny on Sep 17, 2012 | Reply
Anyone who has penciled in an easy win over Seattle, or are sleeping on Seattle, better wake up.
We will have our hands full with that Defense and their ability to run the football.
Not to mention, one of the tougher venues to play in the NFL.
I know we can win the game but will need to play more consistent on Ofense than we have, with a Defensive effort like we saw against Chicago, not SF.

Noxubee County football coach Tyrone Shorter knows it's unfair to ask a player to duplicate the production that Darrell Robinson had at the running back position for his program.
Robinson had a reputation of putting up huge numbers for the Tigers, who won the Class 4A State championship last season.

North Dakota's roadside pheasant survey counts are out today, and they indicate that the number of birds and broods are both up statewide, according to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
Stan Kohn, upland game management supervisor for the agency, said the survey shows total pheasants are up 30 percent from last year. In addition, brood observations were up 37 percent, while the average brood size was down 4 percent.
"Late-summer roadside counts indicate pheasant hunters are going to find more pheasants in most parts of the state, with more young roosters showing up in the fall population," Kohn said.
Here's a regional breakdown:
Southwestern North Dakota: Total pheasants were up 22 percent and broods observed up 23 percent from 2013. Observers counted 19 broods and 154 birds per 100 survey miles.
Southeastern North Dakota: Total pheasants were up 2 percent from last year, and the number of broods up 16 percent. Observers counted six broods and 50 birds per 100 miles.
Northwestern North Dakota: Pheasants are up 21 percent from last year, with broods up 26 percent. Observers recorded seven broods and 57 birds per 100 miles.
Northeastern North Dakota: The northeast district showed two broods and 16 birds per 100 miles. Number of birds observed was up 126 percent, and the number of broods recorded was up 166 percent.
The 2014 regular pheasant season opens Oct. 11 and continues through Jan. 4.

Now in his 13th year as Director of Virginia Tech Track & Field and Cross Country, Dave Cianelli has built the Hokie program into one of the elite programs in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the nation. Since Cianelli's arrival in the fall of 2001, Virginia Tech track and field athletes have produced 14 NCAA individual national titles, 143 NCAA All-America honors and 129 individual conference champions. Since 2005, Hokie teams have finished in the national top-five three times, the national top-10 eight times and the national top-20 twenty times. After the completion of the 2013 season, Cianelli added three more Coach of the Year honors. One of these from the ACC for the 2013 men's indoor season, and two from the USTFCCCA for being selected Southeast Region Men's Coach of the Year for both the indoor and outdoor seasons.
The 2013 Hokies continued to demonstrate why they are one of the nation's elite programs. The men's track and Field team placed ninth at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, which was the second highest team finish ever at the indoor championships. The men won their third ACC team championship at the 2013 ACC indoor meet, and followed that up with a runner-up finish at the ACC outdoor championship.
Alexander Ziegler won his third NCAA National Championship when he took home the 35-lb. weight throw title at the NCAA indoor championships. Freshman Tomas Kruzliak continued Virginia Tech's dominance in the hammer throw by winning the NCAA outdoor championship in that event. Kruzliak's national title in the men's hammer throw was Tech's sixth in the last nine years in the event. For the 2013 season, Virginia Tech track and field athletes produced 16 All-America honors.
2013 was another banner year for the Hokies at the USA Championships and World Championships. Queen Harrison was runner up at the USA Championships in the 100 meter hurdles with a personal best time of 12.43 and went on to place fifth in that event at the World Championships in Moscow, Russia. For the season, Harrison was ranked fourth in the world in the 100-meter hurdles by Track & Field News. Ronnie Black, 2013 ACC champion in the high jump, place third in that event at the USA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. Marcel Lomnicky, a two-time NCAA National Champion for the Hokies, finished eighth at the World Championships in the hammer throw with a throw of 254' 6". Marcel was ranked sixth in the world by Track & Field News for the 2013 season. Martina Schultze, a four-time All American for Virginia Tech, won the silver medal in the pole vault at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia. Martina went on to set a personal best and Virginia Tech record of 14' 9".
In 2012 Virginia Tech had five individuals compete at the US Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. Keith Ricks and Darrell Wesh were both selected to represent the USA at the North American, Central American and Caribbean Championships in Mexico. Wesh brought home the gold medal as a member of the 4 x 100 meter relay team and Ricks won the bronze Medal in the 200 meters.
In the summer of 2011, the Hokies were well represented at the USA Senior and Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Michael Hammond was a finalist in the 1500 meters at the USA Senior Championships, while teammates Taylor Crosson and Courtney Dobbs finished second and third in the 5,000 meters at the USA Junior Championships. In 2010, Jared Berman placed second in the 3,000 meter Steeplechase at the USA Junior Championships and advanced to the IAAF World Junior Championships in Canada where he made the final and placed ninth.
In 2008, Harrison made history when she earned a spot on the US Olympic team by finishing second in the 400-meter hurdles at the US Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. At age 19, Harrison was the second youngest female track and field athlete in history to make the US Olympic Team. She was the first Tech track and field athlete to represent any country at the Olympic Games and only the second Hokie to become an American Olympian in any sport following Bimbo Coles who represented the United States in basketball in 1988.
Cianelli's illustrious career is proven by the coaching awards he has collected over the years. For the 2013 season, he was awarded both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year honor by the USTFCCCA. Cianelli was also named the ACC Indoor Men's Coach of the Year for leading the Hokies to their second ACC Indoor Track and Field Title in three years. Since 2007, Cianelli has been selected as the ACC Coach of the Year eight times and the NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year 12 times.
Cianelli has assembled one of the most accomplished coaching staffs in America. Associate Head Track and Field coach Greg Jack has produced 11 NCAA individual National Champions and 55 All-America honors in the throwing events during his coaching career at Virginia Tech. Jack has also coached a total of 45 conference champions, 37 of those in the ACC and another 8 in the Big East Conference. Jack has also coached several Olympians including Olympic finalists Marcel Lomnicky in the hammer throw and Cleopatra Borel in the shot put. Jack was selected as the National Throws Coach of the Year in 2006.
Former Hokie Ben Thomas is the Head Cross Country and Distance coach. In 2012, Thomas led the Hokies to the ACC title in cross country and to the NCAA National Cross Country Championships where they placed 22nd. Thomas was selected ACC Cross Country Coach of the Year for 2012. His athletes have produced 24 All America honors and 30 conference champions during his tenure at Tech. Natalie Hall, an All-American for Virginia Tech in 2009, is the assistant cross country and distance coach.
Charles Foster is the men's sprint/hurdle coach and started at Tech in the fall of 2009 after a successful career as the men's sprint/hurdle coach at Clemson. Foster quickly made a reputation for himself, earning the USTFCCCA NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year in 2010. Under Foster, Harrison won three NCAA national titles in the hurdles in 2010 and was selected by Track and Field News as the Collegiate Athlete of the Year. Harrison also won the prestigious Bowerman award as the most outstanding collegiate female track and field athlete in the nation for 2010. In 2008, Foster was honored by the USTFCCCA as the Men's National Coach of the Year for the sprints and hurdles. Foster is a former world record holder in the 110-meter high hurdles and a USA Olympian in 1976.
Bob Phillips, an All-American for Virginia Tech in the pole vault in 1980, coaches the Tech pole vaulters. Phillips was recognized in 2011 by the USTFCCCA as the NCAA Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year. Since 2000, Phillip's athletes have earned 28 All America honors in the pole vault and he has coached a total of 34 conference champions at Virginia Tech.
The Virginia Tech track & field and cross country programs continue to achieve at a high level in the classroom. In 2013, Alexander Ziegler was named by the USTFCCCA as the National Student Athlete of the Year as well as a Capital One Indoor Academic First Team All American. Frances Dowd won the NCAA Elite 89 Award for the 2012 NCAA Indoor season honoring the student-athlete with the highest GPA at the NCAA Championships. Kelly Phillips became a two time Capital One Academic First Team All American in 2011. Kelly also won the NCAA Elite 88 Award as the student athlete with the highest GPA at the NCAA Championships. For the 2013 season, 16 total Hokie track and field athletes were named to the All-ACC Academic Team. In addition, the women's cross country team earned USTFCCCA All-Academic recognition for the eighth year in a row. In 2010, both Matej Muza and Kristi Castlin were honored as the ACC scholar-athletes of the year for track and field. Since 2004, nine Virginia Tech track and field athletes have earned a total of 13 Academic All-America honors.
Prior to Tech, Cianelli was an assistant coach for 13 seasons at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. With the Mustangs, Cianelli worked with 19 Olympic and World Championship competitors, 27 NCAA National Champions, 123 All-Americans and 95 conference champions. Cameron Taylor of New Zealand was a 1992 Olympian and All-American in the 200-meters, and Tytti Reho won the 2000 NCAA National Championship in the 800-meters. In cross country, both the men's and women's teams won the 1995 Southwest Conference Championship and earned a spot in the NCAA National Championships.
During Cianell's 13 years at SMU, the track and field teams finished in the top-10 at the NCAA National Track and Field Championships 15 separate times. Cianelli served as the assistant women's track and field and cross country coach at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo from 1985 to 1988, where he helped the outdoor track and field teams to three straight runner-up finishes at the NCAA Division II Championships. Cianelli also coached a total of 13 All Americans and one NCAA National Champion while at Cal Poly SLO.
Cianelli began his coaching career at San Marcos High School in Santa Barbara, Calif., as the head boys and girls track and field coach from 1982 to 1984. In three seasons he coached seven junior national qualifiers in the heptathlon and decathlon.

Should TV be banned on one day of the week?
I haven't had a TV for fifteen years. I have a life. When I visit friends the TV is permanently on and sometimes with the sound turned down out of politeness to me. Yet when I ask them about current affairs or what was on their must-watch news program last week they can't say. To those that 'only have it for the documentaries' they can't discuss what they've seen a week later and the program was unlikely to have dwelt on 'difficult' issues long if at all.
So let's face it - TV is entertainment. Yes the news is entertainment too. Just think what people could do if they had 24 hours each week away from their dependency? Visit Aunt Flo, go swimming, learn the banjo, even read a book! Instead of watching some dumb cartoon the kids could be doing different things to suit their different ages. Instead of Aunt Flo vegetating in front of day time TV she's out shopping buying the ingredients, then making tea for the grandchildren then playing games and telling them stories. Add your own examples of benefits arising from taking people's comforter (or dummy) away.
So should Thursdays, say, be TV-free by national black-out?

Mar 28 2013: I like the idea of not watching TV for one day, but I'd take it a step further and ban the use of the internet, emails, facebook, twitter,texting, computers and cell phones...give your full attention to some activity, for one full day (24 hours) that doesn't involve the use of electronic devices and social networking. Have a entire day when you are "off the grid", no one can reach you...do something for yourself or be with someone else and only with them, no distractions, for one day. Just think about how dependent we have all become on having the use of our phones and computers, on a daily basis....these devices have, for many, replaced their TVs.

Bandelier National Monument
Climate Change Poses Risks Of Flooding, Erosion, And Fires To National Park Units And Their Treasures
Treasures of history, culture, and natural beauty contained within the National Park System are increasingly at risk to the perils of climate change, with flooding and wildfire likely to sweep numerous park sites across the country, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.
National Park Foundation Grants Designed To Help Parks Improve Visitor Transportation
While some national parks struggle with moving tourists around during the peak season due to traffic jams and road systems designed for fewer vehicles, the National Park Foundation is working to provide the National Park Service with the expertise to help improve the situation.

Probably no one has ever heard of the Stafford Scandal. No, it doesn't have anything to do with Jo Stafford, the Pop vocalist of the 40's and 50's (Blue Moon, You Belong To Me, Autumn In New York). That was when music had melody and we could understand the words. The only reason I bring her name up is to help us remember this situation.
President Obama definitely doesn't want you to know about the Stafford disaster because it shows us what can happen under Socialized Medicine (SM). Our shameless and worthless media carefully and maliciously hid the whole episode as though it never happened. It is the history of a hospital in England whose patients were deprived of food and water, where dressings were seldom changed, where human wastes were not cleaned up, where patients either received the wrong medication, or, worse yet, none at all, and elderly patients were ignored as they screamed for help.

Vickerman Flocked Alpine 3' White Artificial Christmas Tree with 50 Clear Lights
Selma from Colorado Springs, CO– Verified Buyer
Tree is cute but it is has way too much flocking on it. It makes a mess. If you bump it, it sheds every where. The lights are warm and soft. Would have given it a 5 otherwise.
Wonderful decoration!
Gregory from Pearland,– Verified Buyer
I bought this tree after I went to a Christmas market and saw all the decorations. I wanted to have something similar for my home. I love how this tree was flocked and how the lights have a warm yellow glow and are not too bright. It gives it a wonderful decoration and feel.

LUCAS, WI (WTAQ) - A father and son killed in a weekend highway crash in western Wisconsin have been identified as 57-year-old William Larrieu of Elmwood and 30-year-old Joshua Larrieu of Menomonie.
Dunn County sheriff's deputies said a car driven by Joshua Larrieu crossed a center-line, and was hit on the passenger side by an eastbound SUV.
The driver of the SUV, a 52-year-old Menomonie woman, was taken to a hospital – and she was buckled up at the time. The crash happened just before midnight Saturday on Highway 29 in the town of Lucas.
Authorities said both men were not wearing seat belts, and alcohol appeared to be a factor. The crash remains under investigation.

Deathwatch: Social media innovation is not dying
Posted on July 25, 2014 11:39 am by Shel Holtz | Social Media
With apologies to Monty PythonIn the late 90s, some organization declared the World Wide Web was over. The prediction of the web's demise was based on the decline in the number of corporate press releases announcing the launch of a new corporate website. (I have tried to find that report. I've come up empty, but my memory of the report is so clear that I'm willing to bet real money that the prediction happened.)
Of course, the web was not in decline. It had just become so common for companies to have websites that announcing it not only didn't get you any coverage, it made you look behind the times. ("Oh, you're finally getting around Read More »

One, What is with my temp at FF? Follow my link below on my siggy. I know it's hard to say because it's only a few temps but what's with the sharp dip? Could it be implantation? I gotta say my only symptoms at this point mostly seem to be moodiness, craving salty or greasy food and cramping, these could all be AF coming on next monday but I am also exhausted!! Today I feel asleep going 50mph on the back of a four wheeler while it was 37 degrees out and I was wearing just a hoodie but I just got very tired and fell asleep, woke up about 30 mins later, about 20 miles down the road... So strange the only reason I woke up was cuz DH realized something was wrong because I was slumped over behind him and he pulled over and I woke to him saying my name. He was nervous and thought something was really wrong with me and wanted to go to the doctors but I assured him I was okay, just had gotten tired so we got me some hot cocoa and headed back out and I've been fine, just tired. Thought that was weird.
Second, some of you have seen my site, it's in my siggy, I made it to help document our journey to getting a baby. Anyway, if you go on it you will see I added a chat! page. It's a live chat and you can see if anyone is online at anytime and it's live!!! No refreshing the page a million times. It will be hard because we can't have a ton of different conversations going on but figured it would be fun so feel free to stop by my chat page!!

KEARNY, Ariz. (AP) - A lightning-caused wildfire in the small Arizona town of Kearny now is 50% contained and evacuations have been lifted for most residents in the area.
The blaze was sparked Monday about 73 miles southeast of Phoenix and grew to about 518 acres by Wednesday.
Carrie Dennett of the Arizona State Forestry Division says one home burned on the outskirts of Kearny, but firefighters had stopped the blaze's progression.
Dennett says small fires are still burning in the interior, and smoke can still be seen, but the blaze was not growing any larger by Wednesday afternoon.

Sleeveless Jersey Dress with Charmeuse Waist Band Style E44239 27 28
perfect guest dress I bought this dress off the rack yesterday and I love it. I have had an impossible time finding a dress to wear to a co-worker's wedding but this one fit the bill. It's not too frilly or bridesmaid-y and can be worn for other occasions. Also, it's super comfortable and flattering for the average woman. I'm 5'5" and 165 and this dress makes me feel pretty. July 20, 2014
Too informal The jersey is a weird fabric choice. This dress came to me wrinkled. So perhaps it would look better if it was properly cleaned and ironed. That being said, the dress felt too casual and uninteresting for a wedding. July 17, 2014
Great Online Purchase I tried the dresses on in-store. The size 8 fit perfectly, so alterations are not necessary. I'm 6', and it's an appropriate length for a wedding. I love that the straps are wide - I can wear a normal bra! Also, the material is soft/comfy. I ordered online to get the online sale/free delivery in the States. Looking forward to wearing it this August for my best friend's wedding! June 26, 2014
So flattering! I bought this dress in black to wear to the Khaki Ball (US Navy) last year. I'm plus-sized, so I have a hard time finding dresses that fit certain criteria. I was able to wear a bra with it. It looks like it comes down too far in the back, but it doesn't. It wasn't too short, and it hid my belly. June 5, 2014

And The Winners Are...
The Homies 2012
Dear Readers,
After two weeks of nominations and finals voting, and over three quarters of a million pageviews (double last year's pages), we finally have six remarkable winners to wear the Homies Champion Crown for 2012:
THE 2012 WINNERSClick to Visit Each One
• Best Home Design Blog: Bower Power • Best Family Blog: Rockstar Diaries • Best DIY Blog: A Beautiful Mess • Best Recipe Blog: Munchin with Munchkin • Best Healthy Cooking Blog: The Clothes Make The Girl • Best Food Photography on a Blog: Nom Nom Paleo
There are awards for all sorts of blogs, but no one ever pays enough attention to the home blogs, so we started The Homies. It's our way of surveying the blogosphere each year for the best new home design & cooking blogs and sharing what we find. It's not so much a competition as a celebration of the richness and awesomeness of home bloggers around the world. Join us, share your favorites and check out the ones you don't know.
None of our blogs or past winners are eligible (see below).
Week 1: Add your favorite home blogs
Friday, February 24 - Friday, March 2 (until midnight EST)
Week 2: Vote on the top nominees
Saturday, March 3 - Friday, March 9 (until 3pm EST)
Winner's Day: Winners announced!
Friday, March 9 afternoon!
The technical prize is $50 to the winner of each category, but the real prize is lots of traffic as we publish the six winners in big congratulatory posts across our network on Friday, March 9th. We want to elevate good home blogs, see who you love and gain awareness for the home niche.

How does it work?
Nominations for the best blogs in these categories are collected all week and you can vote or nominate as many as you like (but only one nomination per blog per person), we then choose the top six favorites, and then you all get one powerful vote starting next week.
Who is eligible?
Any blog, amateur and professional in the homespace in the six categories listed above. Past winners and Apartment Therapy blogs are not eligible.
What is the homespace?
It's the media space dedicated to folks who love their homes, and it concerns decor, cooking, entertaining, raising kids, working at home and a whole host of green issues. We're willing to think broadly, but, remember, we're not concerned with things like cars, restaurants, the stock market and Hollywood gossip.
How many blogs can I nominate?
As many as you wish.
How many new favorite blogs can I discover?
As many as your brain can handle before bursting.
When do we vote?
After a week of nominations, we'll collect up all your input and sort them down to the top six contenders. On Friday, March 2nd we'll post these top six for a week so that you have plenty of time to see them and vote. With one week of nominating and over one week of voting, we should have a good turnout.
Can we vote more than once?
Not in any one category, but you certainly can vote in all six categories.
Can we encourage our friends to vote (for us, even)?
Yes. Not only can't we stop it, we know that the web is a community and word of mouth is how it works.
How do you catch cheaters?
Our ability to catch cheaters, or those who try to stuff the ballot by voting multiple times under different names is managed by closely watching multiple votes under similar names and/or the same IP address. While it's impossible to be perfect, we seek out and remove any serious multiple voting in these two areas. We will also notify the person suspected.
We are fully aware that schools and offices often will have multiple votes coming from one IP address. We are very good at this point at differentiating between this and someone who is just trying to hack our system.
20 Comments
I couldn't find where can I add my favorite blogs. Where can I?
@Denizk - Going to any of the categories above you should see a link that says "Nominate a blog!" or if you don't have an Apartment Therapy Community account a couple links inviting you to sign up or sign in to nominate a blog.
If you still have trouble hit us up at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hope that helps!
How about a Best Gardening Blog?
Girl & Lamp - click on the links to go to each nomination category and you can see that we're receiving and approving nominations every few hours. :-)
I have never commented on a story here, but couldn't resist mentioning my favorite design blog. The vision she has for random things are pretty unbelievable.
Little Green Notebook
What a great idea! Going to vote for my favorite now :)
What happened to the Green Home category? As an author of a green blog, Green House, Good Life, I was excited to see this category...but now it seems to be gone.
A question: are previous winners ineligible only in the category they won, or ineligible, period. If the former, then Young House Love should surely be nominated for the DIY category? And - as unfortunately some blogs seem to figure in multiple categories - the Family category?
I also have a question, although OT. Were the winners of the December prize-a-day give away ever posted? If so I must have missed it.
well okay, I voted! Thanks, Apartment Therapy!!!!
I am logged in, but I still can't find the link to nominate a blog. Any advice? Thanks!!!
Can you just post a list we can pull the list of nominations, so I can check out these blogs at a later time?
I tried to cut and paste and couldn't.
If I have several favorites in DIY can I vote for all of them? I just can't choose!
I don't understand how one blog is allowed in two or more categories, isn't that unfair?
I wish the Bowers at Bower Power would remedy their site... I'd read their blog more if it didn't take forever to load and cause me to shut down my computer every time I tried to read it. I've never been able to leave a comment there!
@heidijoe: Everytime I've gone to BowerPower it's mostly baby updates and you're right, can't advance to anything home/decorating related :/
@greenladypants, my aren't we rude and judgey.
I tried to vote (take the survey) on Friday 3/9 at 11 AM EST and it said the contest was over, even though on the website said I could take the survey until 3 PM EST on 3/9. Would appreciate it if the site was working correctly for future interactive things @apartmenttherapy.
Scratching my head a little here.....hmmmm. Each to their own I guess??
Love these awards for introducing me to new blogs each year, but I do feel that they are more like a popularity contest of rabid readers versus a judgement of top-notch blogging, like in prior years.

"Loved this baby shower invitation for my Daughter. She is very picky and we have been searching for months for one we all could agree one. This was thee ONE! Also ordered the sticker or tags to match. Was a little on the small side but still liked them!!"
"I purchased this design for my upcoming baby shower. I chose the pearl (shimmer) paper, with ticket trim, and white envelopes with the return address already printed on them. I love the invite it turned out amazing and shimmer paper gives it a great accent. It's a sturdy stock paper, not flimsy like a lot if others. I love the font selection, and went with the suggested font that we're already chosen for this product. All in all I couldn't be happier with the product it looks fantastic! Great job Tiny Prints."
"These are great invitations. I love the faded chalkboard look. The colors and design are so cute! It was so simple to make these and delivery was quick! This invitation lends itself to a lot of other creative ideas we can do with chalkboards and baby carriages at the shower."
"The card is of the highest quality. I added a photo of a sonogram on the back and it turn out perfect. It matches my shower colors."
"Everything about this card says, "quality"--the heavy card stock, intense color and design. The invitation looks exactly as it does online. I could not have expected more."

Council looks at traffic safety bits
The installation of traffic signals at the corner of Boblett
and S.R. 542 is scheduled for completion on September 6.
Steve Banham of Blaine public works department said it had
been hoped to finish the project before school started but
delays at the state level made that timing impossible. In
other road department news, the 2002 chipsealing program
has been completed and, according to Banham, went very well.
He credited the road department staff and Larry Freeman
Construction for the smoothness of the job. Banham advised
council that the 6th Street project was ahead of schedule.
Following feedback from neighborhood meetings, council agreed to ask the state department of highways to install a four way stop at the corner of Peace Portal Drive and Bell Road.
Council unanimously approved the first and second reading of the Drayton Hillside phase II development project. Requiring shoreline and plat approvals, the Trillium project involves 20 single-family homes and four multi-family homes. Council member Bruce Wolf asked that the old Drayton Harbor Road trail be linked to the existing trail on Drayton Harbor Road by constructing a separate pathway on roads within the project and installing signage and a bridge over a roadside culvert. City staff and Trillium representative Bob Libolt agreed to make the necessary changes.

With the 2013 legislative session starting up next week, lawmakers gathered to talk issues that will affect central Virginia.
The League of Women Voters held their annual legislative luncheon at the Boar's Head Inn Friday afternoon. Legislators talked about the ideas they are pushing when the general assembly convenes this coming Wednesday.
Almost 100 people came out to listen to several legislators' ideas and propose some of their own.
Senator Creigh Deeds, Delegate Rob Bell, and Delegate David Toscano came out to speak at the event. All three touched on a variety of issues, including education, health care, voter registration rights and taxes.
Each legislator had seven minutes for comments and the rest of the lunch was dedicated to answering questions from the audience.
Senator Deeds brought the state budget and the effects of the fiscal cliff to the top of his agenda.
"Now what sequestration could mean for Virginia is that we could lose over 200,000 jobs. That would create huge holes in our revenue streams and it makes budgeting very difficult. The lack of certainty about what's going to happen at the federal level means the budgeting job is going to be tough for Virginia this year," said Deeds.
The League of Women Voters has held this event every year for over 20 years. All the lawmakers at Friday's luncheon said it was important to hear from their constituents and have a grasp on what matters most going into the upcoming legislative session in Richmond.

- Why Colby?
- Request Information
- College Profile
- Scholars Programs
- Student Perspectives
- Alumni Success
- For Counselors
- Contact Admissions
Why did you decide to study abroad?
My decision to study abroad was really nothing I could have foreseen when I came to Colby as a freshman- I had studied Latin in high school and wasn't too fond of my German classes my first semester. I kept up with the language, however, until the end of my sophomore year. I had never traveled outside the US before (save a childhood trip to Nova Scotia), and decided that going abroad should be part of my college experience. It would be new, challenging, and difficult, and so naturally I was very excited.
How did you choose where to go?
The decision was actually pretty simple to me based on my hopes and requirements for the program. With my language abilities, it had to be a German-speaking country, limiting my choices really to Germany itself or Austria. As a History and Government double major, I then had to look for programs where I could take classes in both areas of study. I heard that both IES's Vienna and Berlin programs would be good fits for this. I also knew that I wanted to live with a host family, and so searched for a program with homestays. Berlin is also clearly a historical and poltical center, and would allow me to visit museums, memorials, and events of interest. The IES Berlin program fit all of these requirements, so it was the one I chose.
Can you briefly describe your program while abroad?
My program consisted first of a month-long orientation program, introducing us to the city, the other American students in the program, an intensive language course, and living in Germany. This was capped off with an awesome week-long "European Capitals Tour" where we visited Vienna, Budapest, and Krakow through the IES program. Because I was a semester student, I couldn't take classes at Berlin's famous Humboldt University, which the IES center was tied too, and so our classes were instead taught by German professors who came to our center to teach. The classes were all in German, and I took a course on German Jewish history, one on German security policy, a post-1989 German film course, and a course mainly designed as field trips to various political events and speakers in Berlin. Many of these classes also included visits to museums and other significant sites in the city. In October we went on another IES-sponsored trip, this time to the eastern city of Dresden. As the program progressed I spent most weekends traveling outside Germany and around Europe while trying to balance homework and projects.
What were some highlights or memorable moments of the experience for you?
Living in Berlin was an awesome experience. For me, the most memorable moments are simply walking around the city and experiencing the clashes of past and present. A Neo-Nazi rally (and anti-Nazi counter rally) shut down the Alexanderplatz in September, Kurdish protestors called in a bomb threat against Turkey's president and ended our opportunity to see him speak the same month, and Iranian protestors hurled insults against the American embassy in October directly in front of the Brandenburg Gate. These events put me at the center of both international and strikingly local politics and debates in a way Waterville never could be. Visits to museums, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and other WWII-Holocaust monuments, remnants of the Berlin Wall, and tours of bunkers and tunnels with the Berlin Underworld organization demonstrated the city's deep connection with its past. These experiences in the city will forever stand out in my mind.
What was your greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge I think was trying to fit in to German culture. Americans are always in Berlin, and so whenever I tried to order food or speak with them in German, they'd often respond in English, recognizing my accent, making it more difficult to feel part of the city's fabric. Added to this, I needed to balance time between my American friends in the program, my host family, and my own interests. It was hard to do this and I now wish I had spent more time doing all three of these of course!
How have you and/or your perspective changed after returning from study abroad?
This was my first experience living in an apartment as well as a major city, especially one with as great a public transit program as Berlin, so I think I learned to be a lot more self-confident and self-reliant than I was before, shopping for my own food and not setting foot in a vehicle smaller than a bus for most of those three months. It was interesting to watch the Germans respond to the Republican presidential primary, which many followed closely, and their critical comments about Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry gave me the opportunity to evaluate my own country and its faults. The trip also gave me a great understanding and appreciation of all the people and the countries I visited.
What advice would you give to prospective study abroad students?
First advice is definitely to do this, even if you are nervous, because it will turn out so awesomely in the end. I was very nervous about the program but it turned out to probably be the best and most different experience I've ever had. Following that, make sure you're choosing a program that fits ALL your interests- Berlin worked perfectly for me because it combined my interests in history and politics and allowed me to live with and interact with a host family. You need to choose a program that meets more than just your academic interests, or it won't be one you'll appreciate as fully as another.

Objective review
posted by VK7Price Value Quality3.7Don't listen to the guy complaining about air bubbles. It's a bit pricey and won't protect the very outer edges of your iPad. But it will protect your screen very well. Just be sure to watch a YouTube iPad screen protector no bubbles tutorial video before you apply it! I also heard that if you apply it in your bathroom after a steamy shower bubbles will be less likely. Still a bit pricey though

Air bubbles
posted by AndrewPrice Value Quality1Good idea in theory but in practice no matter how hard I tried I could not get rid of the air bubbles trapped under the film. I even tried using the edge of a credit card to smooth them out but with no joy. If you do not mind the appearance of bubbles on the screen then I expect the product works fine. I am left feeling I have spent a lot of money for 2 clear sheets of plastic and a small cloth...a bit of a rip off!
ShieldView iPad Screen Protector - Glossy
good product, but costs too much
posted by blackscorpValue Quality Price32 screen protectors , but the price is too high i think
can be installed wuite easily, looks good, but some edges show small bubbles..
doesn't fit exactly on the whole screen (new i pad) - around 0.5 cm is not covered

Great for office casual looks as well as more formal occasions, the leather of the Dansko Professional Tooled Leather Clog not only creates a sleek appearance but is also a pleasure to wear. With the same shock absorption properties as most athletic footwear, this shoe doesn't cause the stiff, restrained feeling that most other professional shoes do. Offering extra room for your toes, this shoe is liberating and comfortable all day long.
