What is it like to participate?
What happens at 3DS?
You and 39 other students will start a technology company over the course of three days. We rent work space for a 3 days, invite 40 students with a wide range of backgrounds, cater food, drinks, snacks, and coffee, pick the best idea for a software startup during the Friday brainstorming session, and release a minimal prototype by the end of day 3. The goal is to build enough momentum among a network of motivated people to sustain the company beyond the weekend.
If I participate, what do I get out of the weekend?
The worst case scenario is that you will work with brilliant people from numerous disciplines toward the common goal of building real companies and products. Great connections happen at 3 Day Startup: cofounders meet, complimentary skill sets collide, and friends are made. The best case scenario is that you will be a cofounder of a wildly successful new tech startup.
Will my startup get any cool stuff?
- Accepted participants can head on over to our Participants page to sign up for the awesome services listed below.
- Free cloud hosting from Rackspace for six months (up to $500/month of usage).
- Free access to Microsoft BizSpark.
- A legal services package from DLA Piper designed for startups incorporated in the United States. The package will be available at reduced rates, combined with a flat fee or deferred fee arrangement. 3 Day Startup companies will have full access to DLA Piper's comprehensive benefits and legal services designed to position new companies for future growth and success. Please contact Justin Bowes to find out more.
How do you get good ideas for startups?
We can point you toward a few resources:
- Spreadsheet with hundreds of startup ideas by many different folks
- Y Combinator's list of ideas they'd like to fund
- Paul Graham's article on startup ideas
- Seth Godin's Six Month MBA class 999 ideas
Any pointers on selecting a startup idea?
That's a tough question with a long answer. Even some of the best venture capitalists in the business have trouble answering that question. Just check out BVP's anti-portfolio. Probably the best advice we can give you is to check out what some of the smartest people in the business have written. Two of the first people you might check out are Steve Blank and Ash Maurya. Both also have books. One of the biggest takeaways is just to talk to customers. We can also try to give some very brief pointers on startup ideas:
Good ideas do not need to be:
- Unique
- Complex
- Clever
- First to market
- High-technology
- Free of competitors
- Based on a patent
- Something you thought of yourself
Good ideas probably should:
- Address a real, observable market pain
- Be something that you are knowledgeable about
- Have a large, potential or existing market
- Have possible revenue streams
I'm a student majoring in X. Should I even consider applying?
The short answer is: yes. Our past participants have spanned everything from a freshman in psychology to a freshly minted PhD in Neuroscience. If you're at all passionate about startups and technology, it is likely that you will be a valuable participant.
Can I apply even though I am not a student?
Absolutely. While the majority will be students, we are definitely open to having some (very strong) non student participants.
What kind of ideas are allowed?
Ideas with scalable business models are strongly preferred. We also optimize for ideas that will require a strong software base.
Our selection criteria for ideas are (1) your amount of passion and (2) the amount of research on your own idea that you perform before your interview.
How are ideas picked?
Ideas will go though two stages of selection. The first selection is the interview that all participants go through to get accepted into 3 Day Startup. During the interview, we are looking for a combination of skills in your area, passion, and a well-researched startup idea.
The final idea selection is during Day 1 of the intensive. It begins with the 40 people forming 8 groups of 5 people each. The small groups brainstorm and pick their favorite ideas. Then each group pitches their top idea to the seven other groups. At the end, all participants vote on the top one, two, or three ideas.
How many people from each discipline do you invite?
We typically interview around 200 applicants, and then choose the 40 participants from that group. The participant break down is about 20 from computer science, 7 from business, 3 law students, 3 graphic designers, and 7 wild cards.
How much can you really accomplish in 3 days?
A whole lot. The finished product of the intensive isn't a full-fledged revenue-generating company–it's a team with an idea that has enough momentum to become a real company.
What about food? Sleep?
3DS caters all meals, drinks, and in-between snacks. Sleep is optional. Participants can bring a sleeping bag, or they can go home to rest.
What happens at the end of the 3 days?
At 7 p.m. on Day 3, the participants pitch their startups to a panel of local venture capitalists, angel investors, tech entrepreneurs, professors, and the press. After that, they start making plans about how to take their companies forward.
What does the 3 day schedule look like?
A typical 3 Day Startup might look like this:
Day 1
- 2pm: meet & greet, split up into brainstorming groups
- 7pm: dinner & pitch ideas
- Decide on best idea(s), start work!
Day 2
- Customer interaction, coding, market validation, business plans, logos, etc.
Day 3
- 6pm: dinner & meet panelists
- 7pm: pitch startup(s) to panel
- Launch prototype, elect board
First of all, check out some of the companies that have been started by graduates of 3 Day Startup here.
Our main metric for success is how many of our alumni found companies that take investment, generate revenue or enter incubators. It is common to hear the word "startup" get thrown around. When we say startup, we mean the real thing: companies that are making money or taking investment.
Per program, 3 Day Startup result in more successful startups than any other weekend entrepreneurship event.
We have run 100+ programs in the US and internationally, and those have given rise to 54 companies that have cumulatively received over $18 million in funding. 27 companies from 3DS have been accepted to accelerators such as Y Combinator, Tech Stars, 500 Startups, Capital Factory, Austin Technology Incubator and Dreamit Ventures.
On average, each 3 Day Startup program has generated more than one successful startup. This includes programs in mature and nascent university entrepreneurship ecosystems.
Can I host a 3 Day Startup in my city?
Contact us at email@example.com for more details.
How can universities get involved?
Universities can hold 3 Day Startups at their campuses. When we engage with a university, we do not do it with the intention of holding a single event on their campus. We aim to establish a continuing program that expands the entrepreneurial capability and culture of the university.
Contact us at email@example.com for more details.
Can we have a 3 Day Startup at my company?
We do conduct a limited number of corporate programs per year. The main focus of these enterprise innovation programs is developing an entrepreneurial mindset in executives.
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.
Are you looking for investors?
Yes, we are looking for people to invest in the companies we help to start. The best way for an investor to do that is to attend or sponsor a 3 Day Startup.
We are also interested in forming relationships with investors aligned with the social innovation goals of the 3 Day Startup non profit.
Contact us at email@example.com for more details.
My company is seeking talented employees. Can I use 3DS to find students to hire?
Absolutely. One of the most useful things that we do for participants and companies is to help to scout for talent and to facilitate job placements. The best way for a company to meet our talented students is to attend or sponsor a 3 Day Startup.
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more details.
I have a great idea or invention. I'm worried about it being stolen.
This is probably the most common concern for 3DS participants. Our legal structure is designed so that invited participants can freely share their ideas amongst each other in a protected environment without having to worry about things being stolen.
We believe firmly that ideas are cheap and execution is everything, which is why we focus most of our attention on action. But don't just take it from us: there is broad consensus on that topic in the startup community. See here, here, here, and here for just a few examples. In short, we are in the business of making ideas happen, not stealing them.
Who is this non profit, anyway?
3 Day Startup, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
It has no shareholders, only a board of directors composed of successful entrepreneurs and cofounders. 3 Day Startup, Inc., is organized for the express purpose of promoting entrepreneurship on college campuses.
How does 3DS make money?
We are a not for profit entity, primarily funded through universities and sponsorships.

When Tesla first set the rock world on fire with their debut album, 1986's Mechanical Resonance, Dave Rude was 8 years old.
As fate would have it, in 2006, founding Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon came across The Dave Rude Band on MySpace and asked Rude to join his band as a rhythm guitarist. That eventually led to Rude joining Tesla, where Rude has been ever since.
We recently spoke to Rude about his technique, influences and gear.
Your style of guitar playing suggests influences well beyond your age. Who are some of the players who influenced you in your formative years?
I'm heavily influenced by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Slash, Joe Perry, Steve Vai and The Edge, all the classic guys. My favorite players have a very unique identity and sound all their own. which has always been really important to me and something I strive for. I prefer originality to technical prowess, even if it's a little sloppy or unorthodox. That's where the magic lies.
You are almost never seen without a Les Paul or another Gibson around your neck. Do you have a favorite?
Gibsons and Epiphones are the best guitars around. I've always been a Les Paul player, and I've gotten into Explorers recently too. Epiphone just sent me a new Explorer Pro in a really cool finish I've never seen before called TV Silver, which I am loving.
Also the Gibson Slash AFD Signature Les Paul is out of control. Part of what makes that guitar so great is the Seymour Duncan Slash Signature Alnico II pickups. which are just amazing. They're so clear, you can hear each note in a full chord through a distorted amp, but still hot enough to give you some serious bite and drive. I love them so much that Seymour Duncan is sending me out some to throw in my other guitars too.
What do you use as far as amps and effects?
I play Marshall amps: a JCM 900, DSL 2000 and an older Slash signature from 1997, which is an exact replica of the old Jubilee head from the '80s. The vintage 4x12 cabs with 30-watt Celestions are my favorite -- killer saturation because you really drive the speakers to the breaking point and make them sing.
Can you give us a little background on your "other" band, The Dave Rude Band?
I started that band in 2005, and we made a demo that I put up on MySpace when that was happening. Six months later, Frank Hannon randomly found our profile and sent me an email, which is how I ended up joining Tesla. We've released two EPs which are available at daverudeband.com and on iTunes. I'll be releasing a new album later this summer with some really cool songs that I'm super excited about, too. It's a hard rock thing, and I sing and play guitar.
Tesla will be supporting the Scorpions on their farewell tour. Are you looking forward to soaking up as much of them before they call it a day?
Absolutely!! They're still amazing after all these years. We played a few shows with them in 2010 and they were just on fire. Klaus still sings his a-- off and, of course, Mathias and Rudolf are tearing it up. I can't wait. Plus we're doing Red Rocks, which has always been a dream of mine.
2011 saw Tesla release Twisted Wires & Acoustic Sessions, which has lots of interesting material and different renditions of Tesla classics. What sort of gear did you use acoustically during the recording of that record?
I played my trusty No. 1 Les Paul and an acoustic nylon string that Frank has.
When can we expect to hear a follow up to 2008's studio album Forever More?
We've all separately been working on songs for a new Tesla record here and there, so I'm sure we'll get together and lay them down sometime soon. So far there's some cool stuff I think people will dig a lot. Really rockin'. But right now we're focusing on all the touring we'll be doing this summer, both with the Scorpions and headlining on our own after that. We're all looking forward to getting back out on the road this summer!
Tesla will be supporting the Scorpions starting in early June before starting a string of US headline dates. Follow them via their Facebook page and official website.

Today was a lazy Sunday. I had some surprise visitors baring hot cross buns for Mum and Dad - the guests being Jack and Chloe. I have one question to ask…where was mine?
After they left it was time for us to go for our Sunday walk. We went to the local park and I made a new friend Wilson a labradoodle. We had a good sniff of each other and I thought he seemed quite a friendly chap for a SE5 dog!
Later I had a stroll through the daffodils that were springing soon..actually that's a lie..mum made me pose in them! (Don't be hard on her, she did give me treats!!)

'Love lifts us up where we belong…', though it might not have done if producer Don Simpson had succeeded in ditching that Oscar-winning number.
Richard Gere almost missed out too, only landing the role of raw recruit Zack Mayo after Travolta turned it down. Debra Winger wasn't first pick either, while greenhorn director Taylor Hackford was nearly sacked for shooting slow.
Somehow, though, they all managed to produce a modern classic – an old-school training pic that paved the way for Top Gun.
Three Easter eggs, retro doc and featurettes including – yes – one on the soundtrack.

@Ice: I just haven't had those issues doing dailies. I don't know if you noticed this while leveling up from 80-85, but you aren't *meant* to be able to round up a bunch of things and AoE them down at this gear level. You have to be smart about your pulls (thinking like a tank in a 5 man helps) and be intimately familiar with the tricks of your class if things go south in a hurry. I have yet to die doing these dailies, and I'm a clothie that's barely geared for heroics (as in sub 100k hp). Granted, I'm also a frost mage, but just about every class has *some* kind of sneaky method they can use to get out of trouble. This isn't Wrath of the Zerging anymore, and frankly I *like* that I have to be smart when doing dailies instead of rounding up 15 cultists and AoEing them down every day.
That's not to say that there aren't some spawning issues, but I've run into far, far fewer of those while doing TB dailies as compared to say, questing in Vashj'ir. I've been pretty faithful about dailies since I dinged, and I can count on one hand the times when I haven't been able to eat/drink because mobs kept spawning. As long as you don't do something silly like sit in the middle of the cemetery, you should generally be fine.

KALAMAZOO (WTVB) - The headcount is in for this fall at Western Michigan University. WMU Students this fall are more diverse, more of them are opting for on-line courses, more spread out around the state attending regional centers and taking honors classes...but overall there are fewer of them. President John Dunn says enrollment is down about 2% overall compared to last year. It's down from well over 25,000 last year to under 24,600 this fall.
Giving a big boost again this year, particularly to minority enrollment, is the large number of Promise Scholars enrolling from Kalamazoo schools, keeping the scholarship money in the local economy.

What's a Big Brain Worth?
One measure scientists use to determine a creature's intelligence is brain size -- given the theory that the more a brain weighs relative to the body, the smarter the animal. A human brain, which weighs about 1,300 grams (46 oz.), makes up about 2 percent of body weight. A chimpanzee's brain comprises 0.9 percent of its weight, while the corresponding number in elephants, with their brains weighing in at more than 4.5 kilograms (9.9 lbs.), is 0.2 percent. Dolphins do well by comparison. The brain of a bottle-nosed dolphin, for example, weighs more than 1,800 grams, or 0.9 percent of its average body weight. It seems logical that dolphins deserve to be included in the animal Mensa Society. But does a large brain mean the same in marine mammals as it does in terrestrial animals? In 2006, Paul Manger noted that whales developed a large brain in order to keep the organ from becoming hypothermic, and thereby useless, in cold water. Manger described an unusually high density of so-called glial cells in the animals' brain matter. He explained that these cells act like tiny ovens to keep the brain warm. Besides, he added, dolphins have a relatively simple brain structure, and noted: "The essential features of complex neural processing of information, as observed in other mammals, are missing or poorly developed." No Better Than Mealworms? Manger has now upped the ante with a new paper in which he claims behavioral studies involving dolphins are flawed and therefore not very informative. For instance, while zoologists have observed that dolphins can distinguish between the concepts "many" and "few," Manger notes: "This has also been demonstrated in yellow mealworms." On the other hand, some bottle-nosed dolphins on Australia's west coast have learned to hold sponges over their snouts while they root around on the ocean floor. Is this a case of tool-use, indicating a high level of intelligence? Manger is skeptical. "Exactly what the dolphins do with the sponges remains unknown," he says, noting that the evidence they use them as tools is "flimsy." Another example is dolphins' alleged talent for language. In one experiment, researchers were able to teach bottle-nosed dolphins 40 symbols. The animals were even capable of correctly interpreting combinations of the symbols, Manger admits, but African grey parrots and California sea lions can also learn this type of symbol-based language. The scientific community is similarly divided over what zoologist Gregg calls "Dolphinese." It is known that every dolphin can identify itself with its own "signature whistle." The marine mammals use many other acoustic signals, he adds. But is this truly special? The tail-wagging dance of bees is also very complex, says Gregg. "It's probably not the case that dolphins have their own language, which is as complex as human language," says the expert in animal communication. Dolphin Defenders So is the dolphin actually the dummy of the seas? Most dolphin researchers are offended by such remarks. "To put it bluntly, most of that is bullshit," says Karsten Brensing, a marine biologist with the organization Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC). Manger and Gregg are losing sight of the "total package" when they compare the marine mammals' individual abilities with those of mealworms or bees, he says. "You can use similar arguments to prove that people aren't intelligent." Lori Marino, a neuroscientist at Emory University in Atlanta, also has strong objections to Manger and Gregg's conclusions. "We shouldn't dismiss decades of peer-reviewed scientific work," she says, noting there are overwhelming indications that dolphins possess a high degree of intelligence. For instance, scientists have observed how the animals work together to encircle schools of fish. To cultivate relationships, they spoil each other with their own form of "petting" behavior. And in a struggle for power, males will join together to form networks. Marino even believes that dolphins can recognize themselves. In a famous experiment, she and psychologist Diana Reiss drew markings on the bodies of two dolphins. Then they held up a mirror to the animals. They were fascinated to observe the animals turning around like divas in front of the mirror, presumably to examine their new body decorations. For Marino, this is evidence of self-recognition, similar to what has been observed among great apes. She and other scientists even want to see the animals given the legal status of persons and granted "some fundamental rights," such as the right to bodily integrity. None of this convinces Manger, who has a low opinion of Marino's mirror experiment. "The visual acuity of dolphins is actually not good enough to be able to readily perceive such marks," he says, and is critical of what he calls "serious deficiencies" in the design of the experiment. Stop Calling Them 'Special' Manger is accustomed to his theories being rebuffed. When he questioned the special features of the whale brain in 2006, dolphin fans called upon Manger's university to suspend him. But he merely wants to prevent the marine mammals from being anthropomorphized. Interpretations of behavior based on "personal bias" are not helpful, says Manger. "Conservation strategies should not be based on unrealistic expectations." Gregg's primary objective is also to debunk the myth. "We have to stop describing them as 'special'," says Gregg. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the marine mammals' intellectual abilities are by no means unique in the animal kingdom. "Many other species-from sharks to earwigs to rats-lead equally wondrous and worthy lives," he writes.

Benjamin's Dressed Up Fridge
Renters Solutions
Benjamin writes:
I needed a fun and unique way to dress up my renters fridge without breaking my contract. I decided to create a complex pattern on my fridge using magnets.
The Materials I used were 4 sheets of magnetic photo paper that can be purchased at an office supply store for $10. I used the graphics program Adobe Illustrator CS4 to make the design but other programs like Inkscape (free) can work just as well or use your own bare hands. And a trusty X-acto knife.
I went to work on figuring how much area of the fridge I could cover in four sheets. Turns out I could get 5 fleur de lis per page, I added a diamond shape to reduce waste and help the environment.
The magnetic paper cuts easily but trying to get in the corners was hard even with a X-acto. It took several hours of cutting distributed over the course of a few evenings. But the end result is a lot of fun. There is a lot of potential of what you can do with it, re-arranging the pattern, create a counter or a calendar...
Thanks, Benjamin!

The fridge is cute enough, but those birds over the top of the door knock me out.
Yes to the Fleur-de-lis, the birds and the huge numbers.
Excellent! I just got back from NOLA and now am obsessed with fleur di lis.
Love the little birds. Can you share your pattern ?
Very nice. I love the numbers too, can you share the font please?

Grocery Shopping Made Easier with a Nintendo DS
Confession: Your dear blogger has the memory of a Goldfish. Without a shopping list, I'm useless at the grocery store. But you know what I never forget? My phone. And my point-and-shoot camera. Oh, and my Nintendo DS. Capitalizing on the fact that we techies never seem to go anywhere without our gadgets, Nintendo secured a patent for a grocery shopping helper for the Nintendo DS.
This super-long and mostly complicated page from the United States Patent Office apparently proves that Nintendo is working on grocery shopping software for their hand held Nintendo DS gaming platform.
The program would combine a grocery list manager with a store network to streamline your shopping.
The patent and its accompanying illustrations paint the picture of an eventual integrated grocery store network, where your DS connects with the store's network telling you which items on your list you need to grab down each aisle.
Of course, that kind of development is really far away. For now, the patent describes "product lists...tailored to particular stores."
With so many iPhone apps that already have the same sort of functionality, we're not waiting with baited breath on this one. How about you, Unplggd?
4 Comments
Much as I enjoy my DSi, notepad and pen are a lot more convenient.
I wouldn't mind checking it out when it releases. However, I don't think they will have my supermarket in the software as they don't even have a website... they are very low-tech. They may not have contracted with Nintendo.
I believe you meant bated breath.
While I am content with the power of pen & paper, this might just work for my husband who looses notes but always has his DS....
Also, not everyone has/wants an iEverything. Other tech options are nice.

For those of you unfamiliar with what we are talking about here, anchor text is essentially the visible text shown on a web page link.
For example, a web page link to the Boost Your Website home page might be written as:
The visible text in the above link is Boost Your Website
And here is how it would look when working; Boost Your Website.
You might be wondering what is so special about this anchor text, and why we are talking about it here. What you might be surprised to learn is that the text you use is very significant when it comes to search engine optimisation!
What you need to know about anchor text
Many popular search engines such as Google use a number of different factors to determine the 'weight' of a website link in their search engine results pages, and as search engines evolve over time the results they show up for any given search will be increasingly relevant to the search terms.
Content is king as far as search engines are concerned; if your website is rich with engaging, well-structured content then you will find that your efforts will not go unrewarded with search engines. However, fill your pages up with spammy text and links to irrelevant external content and you won't even get a look in.
Now you might not think it, but the text you write in your internal and external web links is extremely important when it comes to a search engine making an overall assessment of your website and its content.
Where and how to use anchor text
Here is an example of how anchor text can help your website rank higher;
- You run a blog where you post up articles about DIY and home improvements such as how-to guides, and links to relevant and interesting content on other websites.
- You come across a 50% off special offer on double glazing from Acme Windows & Doors, and you want to tell your readers about it so they can potentially benefit from the offer.
- When you add the link to the website offering the special offer, you use the anchor text "50% off special offer on Acme double glazing" instead of writing something like "click here".
So you might be thinking "OK I've written my blog post, it already contains relevant keywords and phrases so why do I have to bother about what my link text says?"
When a search engine visits the pages on your website, it attempts to establish what relevance your link has to the target web page. If you have a link that simply says "click here", then of course there is nothing relevant to that on the target page.
But the link using "50% off special offer on Acme double glazing" as the anchor text is going to be highly relevant.
Because the target page will be promoting their special offer and people may often search for terms like "Acme double glazing" or "Acme double glazing offers", the link to your blog post will have a better chance of being displayed high up in the search results.

The Determinants of Women?s International Soccer Performances
AbstractThe expansion of economics to ?non-market topics? such as football has received increased attention in recent years. However, most of the studies focus on men?s performances, whereas this paper reports empirical evidence of women?s international team performances. In line with the previous studies who analyzed the performance of men, the results reveal that economic, demographic, and climatic factors have a strong impact on teams? performances. In this paper we analyze furthermore whether there is a correlation between women?s and men?s team performances. In general, countries with a stronger football tradition have not only strong men?s teams, but also women?s teams. The findings also indicate that there is a certain competitive balance between the different football regions.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- Republican candidate for governor, Scott Walker is getting some help from a well-connected former governor.
Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, brother of former president George W. Bush and son of former president George Bush, was in Milwaukee Monday campaigning for Walker.
Walker says he is glad to have Jeb Bush campaigning for him because in Florida, Bush brought greater accountability to public schools and lowered taxes.
"The states that have cut taxes are the states where jobs have increased," Walker said. "The states that have raised taxes are the state that have seen job loss."
Walker and Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett are each leading their parties in the polls for Wisconsin governor.

Mystery of Galaxy Evolution Revealed by Distant Cosmic Lens
The most distant cosmic lens — a galaxy whose gravity warps and deflects light from an even more distant stellar nursery — has been discovered by an international team of astronomers. This so-called gravitational lens, which is so distant it takes the distorted light 9.4 billion years to reach Earth, can be used to measure the mass of the faraway galaxy, according to a new study.
The discovery began as a fortuitous accident, said study lead author Arjen van der Wel, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany. Researchers sifting through data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope stumbled on curious observations of a distant galaxy.

Photographer Pete Stenberg sets a patriotic example for others to show our veterans respect, honor and gratitude—even when their battles are long in the past.
"So many of them haven't been recognized," he says. "I think it is important to always say hello, greet them, shake their hand. Make them feel special because they are."
Stenberg, who lives in Crown Point with his wife, Kay, has learned a lot about honoring veterans. He volunteers his time to serve as the Northwest Indiana coordinator for Honor Flight (Honorflightchicago.org), which offers World War II vets the chance to visit the World War II memorial in Washington, D.C. for free, and receive the hero's treatment they all deserve.
"I do as much as I can in this area to spread the word about Honor Flight and try to connect with World War II veterans." There are still about 18,000 of them left in the Chicago area, he says.
"These guys, they're still out there," Stenberg says. His own father is an 85-year-old World II veteran, but Alzheimer's disease prevents him from making the trip. Stenberg says he wishes he had known about Honor Flight four years ago when his father could have still gone.
"I would have loved to be able to take him. Every time I go, I photograph the veterans and I think of my dad. It's one little thing I can do to honor my father."
As a full-time professional photographer, Stenberg has shot weddings, corporate events and portraits. He even did a stint working for Disney Event Groups in Florida.
"There were a lot of magical things down there, but the Honor Flight is a different kind of magic. It's so rewarding."
Stenberg has worked in the volunteer position at Honor Flight since spring 2012 after being called by the organization. They invited him be a photographer at the next flight and he agreed.
"Once I did it and saw all the magnificent things that went on—all the emotions—everything happening for the veterans. At that point I was hooked and knew I'd be doing this forever."
Stenberg works closely with the Northwest Indian veterans, sometimes even driving them to and from their Honor Flight trip. He considers many of the local guys his friends.
"Whenever I find veterans on the flight who are from Indiana, I always try to give them a little more attention," Stenberg says.
"I want to get these guys' stories out," Stenberg says. "I think it really makes an impact to hear other veterans talk. They totally get the message of what's going on."
He said anyone who would like to get involved as an Honor Flight volunteer can start by coming to a return night. After the veterans' day long trip to D.C., they arrive back to Midway Airport to a special surprise.
They get off the plane and are greeted by thousands of bagpipers, firefighters, police officers, and soldiers from every branch of service.
In baggage claim, they see another crowd, this time full of family members and friends.
"That's when it really gets emotional," Stenberg says. "Everybody is crying and smiling. That's probably the icing on the cake of the whole day is when they come back to that celebration."
Honorflightchicago.org has the dates of upcoming flights and information on attending the return nights.
Stenberg says he has no military experience of his own and was in college during Vietnam. His number in the draft lottery was 247 and he was never called to serve. "Later in life I wished I would've served my country and spent time in the military but hopefully I'm making up for that now."

Listen up, sweetheart…
Hey girl, people that text the word "Give" to the Obama campaign at 62262, thereby donating $10 to his re-election efforts, make we want to vomit. Whatever you do today, don't do that. DO NOT DO THAT!
Let me clarify: Whatever you might have going on today, DO NOT TAKE THE TIME TO TYPE THE LETTERS "GIVE" TO 62262.
I know as a woman, you don't have the capacity to fully understand how technology works, but if you TEXT THE WORD "GIVE" (no quotes) TO 62262, it will give $10 to Barack Obama and his re-election efforts. And as my lover, you don't want to do that.
You may now return to filing your nails.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Kids at this school have incredible access to top quality fine arts programs. Every kid plays an instrument. The school even has a chess program! Many of the classes include innovative professional / community based curricula that really stimulates kids. In general, the school (and the district) is what you make of it - every year many kids go to Ivy League schools, but apathy is also common. My kid loves his teachers, and misses being in school after just a couple days of vacation.
poor leadership, academic programs are sub-standard, communication is poor, teachers lack motivation to make students strive to do their best.

Albany -- Stocks are already back down today following an important milestone on Wall Street.
Yesterday, the Dow Jones closed at its highest since before the September 11th attacks. The Dow Jones industrial average closed above 11,000 points for the first time since June 7, 2001.
But today, the Dow has dropped back below 11,000.
A. G. Edwards financial advisor Marilyn Hedrick says there will still be peaks and valleys, but she expects those valleys won't be quite so hard on investors. "After the market went down and stay down for so long, everybody just got demoralized with this horrible stock market. All of a sudden, we've climb our way back and now we've hit 11,000 again. So maybe the worst is behind us."
Hedrick also says the Standard and Poors index hasn't had such a five-day gain since 1950.
Analysts point to stabilizing oil prices and optimism that the federal reserve may soon end interest rate hikes as reasons for the surge.

Controversial Kanye
September 12, 2007 | Creative
Kanye West appeared on BET's 106 and Park with a lot to say about his much publicized spat with MTV and their 2007 Video Music Awards. "It was always my dream to open the award shows with 'Stronger', and [MTV] talked me into doing the suite thing…Then when they had Britney [Spears] open, I said, 'How are you going to have Britney open? Because she's not ready,'" West said of Spears' critically –panned opening performance." West has stated that he took issue with the way the VMA performances were set up – that he should have performed on the main stage and not from a private suite where many artists performed for small groups of fans throughout the telecast.

SOURCE Palo Alto University
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- When it comes to offering Bachelor degree programs which provide unique advantages to their students, Palo Alto University is way ahead of the rest.
Top Results for Palo Alto University Students
Palo Alto University, a not for profit institution, offers two years bachelor degree programs to students who have completed their General Education requirements at their local community colleges. An impressive 78% of these transferred students have completed Bachelor's degrees at PAU, with 92% of the students finishing in less than two years.
In contrast, the national graduation rate data are:
National Centre for Education Statistics: (National Center for Education Statistic source: Snyder, T. D., & Dillon, S. A. (2013). Digest of Educational Statistics 2012 (NCES 2014-015).
Groundbreaking Tuition Stabilization Program
As students study with PAU, they can take advantage of the Tuition Stabilization Program in addition to established federal student aid programs.
How does it work?
The Tuition Stabilization Program automatically freezes students' tuition rate for the duration of their bachelor degree programs, which means that fees are guaranteed not to rise during the length of their study.
Everything on Schedule
At PAU, classes run like clockwork. Students working towards a two-year degree will find that all their classes are pre-scheduled for the duration of their studies. This means they can have effective forward-planning, scheduling conflicts are avoided, and there are no waiting lists or late graduations because a student was unable to get into a class.
Size Matters
Across the United States, students are being packed into large classrooms with other students. PAU is committed to small class sizes (20 to 35 students is the norm). PAU firmly believes that the smaller the group, the more interaction and quality time students can have with their professors and fellow students. This leads to a great educational benefit.

Rose Colored GlassesRose Colored Glasses
Not always an easy thing to wear.
"Made for dreamers, searchers and believers" they say
"Not at all practical in the real world."
"What?" may I ask, "is reality?"
To look at the darkness this world at times holds?
To feel the coldness that men can freely hand out?
The hunger of a child or the widow left in pain?
The heaviness of a father as he can't pay all the bills?
The mother working frantically to cloth her child?
The days can be dismal full of envy and strife.
The nights they can haunt you, casting shadows upon the dreams left behind.
The negative vibrations reverberating off the very core of the earth from men turning aside from a neighbor in need.
and then there is me
I see a bright future for all who reach out.
I see hope for the morrow giving way through the pain.
I see joy and love in abundance,
I see laughter and smiles.
I see dreams that are unending.
I see a world full of hope.
"Rose Colored Glasses" you say?
I wear them proudly.
I see clearly
I not only hope, dream, love, laugh and look forward to my tomorrow,
but I'll look for you as well.
Maybe one day, you'll try them on
and see
a more beautiful world,
through Rose Colored Glasses.
Wakanpyro 46-50, M 1 Response 3 Sep 5, 2010
IF it weren't for your rose-colored glasses....we wouldn't be.

Residency requirements can be defined in two ways:
- the number of courses that are required to be taken a school: a minimum of 30 credits must be taken at Southern New Hampshire University for all undergraduate degree programs. A maximum of six credits can be transferred in from an accredited intuition while the remaining credits (may vary depending on graduate degree) are required to be taken at Southern New Hampshire University.*All of the above residency requirements can be fulfilled by SNHU Online.

Online courses are delivered through the Blackboard Learning System, one of the most prevalent teaching and learning environments.

What type of technology do I need to study online?
You must have access to a computer and the Internet. (see technical requirements)

Yes, we offer free online placement tests for English and math.
Do you offer study guides for the courses offered?
Textbooks and other ancillary materials are available for all courses. Textbooks can be purchased online through the SNHU Campus Store.
Do you offer credits from testing programs such as CLEP?
Southern New Hampshire University accepts college credit to be transferred through testing programs administered outside the university. These testing programs include:
- College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
- Excelsior (formerly Regents College Proficiency Examinations)
- Defense Activities for Non-Traditional Educational Support (DANTES)
- Local examinations or waivers of degree requirements – You may petition to the appropriate department coordinator for a waiver from uncommon qualifications.
- Portfolio credit – If you are a regularly enrolled student, you may apply for portfolio credit to replace most required courses, up to a maximum of 15 credits. Student guides are available if you are interested in pursuing this option.
What is the maximum number of courses I can take per semester?
You are permitted to take up to two courses (six credit hours) per semester. Students who maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher, can take up to three courses (nine credit hours) per semester; however, this decision should be made in consultation with an Education Service Officer and your Academic Advisor.

Being physically active is an important part of a healthy life. But how much activity should your child get? What kinds of activity are important? Do children need structured exercise programs? Read on to learn more about what your child should be aiming for.
Being active can help kids have healthier body weights and less body fat. They will have stronger bones and muscles. And it will help them have better heart and lung fitness. Exercise also reduces feelings of depression in kids. It can help prevent illness in later life, such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
Unfortunately, many kids don't get enough physical activity. Statistics show that TV time and computer games claim some of the time that could be spent on exercise. And children who are unfit have a greater chance of being unfit adults. These kids are at higher risk for chronic disease and other health problems later in life.
Some unhealthy facts:
50% of teens don't exercise regularly
Adolescents spend an average of 7.5 hours a day on TV, computers, games, and cell phones
More than 15% of school children are obese or overweight
Overweight teens have a 70% chance of being overweight or obese adults
85% of kids with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese
The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that kids ages 6 to 17 get 60 minutes or more of physical activity on most days of the week.
Most of those 60 or more minutes should be spent on aerobic activity. Aerobic activity is movement that makes your heart beat faster and causes you to breathe faster.
At least three days a week, kids should include activity that strengthens muscles. And at least three days a week, kids should include activity that strengthens bones. Some activities strengthen both muscles and bones.
Kids don't necessarily need to have a structured exercise program. Depending on their age, exercise can mean playground time, walking the dog, or playing a favorite sport. Younger children don't need to go to exercise classes or lift weights. They can get exercise climbing a jungle gym or playing games in the park. Older kids can get more out of structured activities, such as organized sports or exercise classes.
As children get older, they often reduce their physical activity. But the positive experiences with activities that suit them will keep them coming back for more. So it's important to encourage your child to do activities that are right for their age and fun for them.
Help your child get moving with these resources:
Encourage them to do the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA+) challenge.
Have them try the FITT Plan for Physical Activity.
Tell them to check out BAM! Body and Mind program from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
