I would like to see the GOP make a point of repealing Medicare Prescription or raise revenue to PAY for it. That is the fiscally conservative thing to do. Also some revenue mechanism needs to be put in place to pay for all the costs incurred in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm sick to my stomach that so many Americans sacrificed and died over there while 99% of Americans simply watched it on TV, enjoyed a tax cut and went shopping.

Fabienne and Kobe's Tranquil Over-the-Tracks Abode
House Tour
Name: Fabienne Séveillac & Kobe Van Cauwenberghe
Location: La Chapelle, Paris, France
Size: 600 square feet
Years lived in: 10 months (rented)
Thanks to their seventh story walk-up, Fabienne and Kobe are in excellent aerobic shape — a benefit for most, but especially for two musicians who often find themselves holding a sung note for inordinate lengths of time, or boldly scurrying around the neck of a guitar. Their top-floor flat has other advantages as well, not least among them, the extraordinary views.
In fact, gazing out Fabienne and Kobe's beautiful French windows is an activity in itself. Overlooking the tracks that flare out from the Gare de l'Est train station in northern Paris, the apartment offers an excellent vantage point from which to watch the trains coming in from places like Belgium, where Kobe, a guitarist, hails from.
Three tall windows span the main room, a nice wide space that's perfect for social gatherings. Hints of mauve and magenta add subtle panache to the living room's serene desert hues, while the deep crimson of a dining room wall enhances the apartment's cozy, romantic ambiance. You'll also notice little aspects of New York City here and there. Souvenirs from the couple's time as students in New York City hang on the walls or entice from the book shelves.
Textures of stone, wood, and cloth combine in elements like the curtains Fabienne made from her great-grandmother's hand-embroidered sheets, and a corner bookcase embellished with soft pebbles (courtesy of a former tenant). A mishmash of chairs add character around the dining room table where Fabienne presents one of her other passions — cooking. When the mezzo-soprano isn't rehearsing for an upcoming Sound Initiative concert with Kobe in the apartment's second bedroom-turned music studio, she's in her kitchen, which is big by Paris standards, skillfully preparing delicious meals from ingredients collected from the Middle Eastern, African, and French markets not far from her home. They're not the Park Slope Food Coop, where Fabienne packaged cheeses during her time in New York (a coveted member shift), but they'll do.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Eclectic.
Inspiration: Friends' places, trips to foreign cities, flea markets.
Favorite Element: The light and the possibility for us to practice our music pretty much anytime, as we live on the top floor.
Biggest Challenge: The stairs!! (6th/US 7th floor without elevator, sooo Paris).
What Friends Say: French friends say 'it's huge', Belgian friends say 'how tiny and cozy!'
Biggest Embarrassment: Those stairs!
Proudest DIY: The book and CD shelves, and the kitchen shelves. We needed extra room for books and CDs and I used the empty spaces to build custom shelves.
Biggest Indulgence: Our fancy Moulinex food processor — made to last 30 years hopefully!
Best Advice: Don't try too hard!
Dream Sources: Flemish designer Jan Pauwels' lamps, and contemporary lighting in general.
Resources of Note:
- • Sofa: Habitat
• Coffee table, dining table: Fabienne's parents DIY
• Corner antique table: Fabienne's family (all French people get one like this from their family)
• Chairs: mostly vintage (Thonet from Kobe's family; white French school chair picked up in the street)
• Nightstand in the bedroom Fabienne found on the street.
- • Vintage mirror and white lantern found on the street in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
- • Madura, Ikea, Habitat
- • I brought the living room rug from Azrou, Middle Atlas, Morocco
- • Fabienne transformed some antique family sheets her great great grandmother embroidered into curtains for the living room.
- • NY drawings (living room and music room): Aline Zalko
Thanks, Fabienne & Kobe!

When I put four mismatched chairs at a table, it looks stupid. Here it looks cool. That's what panache does when you have it.
I can't exactly explain why, but I simply love this space. There isn't one particular element that stands out to me. I suppose it's the place as a whole.
On another note, I'm noticing an uptick in the number of apartments featured outside of the US, and I'm really enjoying it.
I know money matters are a personal subject but I'd love to start seeing some rents listed in these home tours.
That way maybe I wouldn't feel so bad about my own apartment because I'd know that I could (most likely) simply never afford these beautiful spaces....or maybe that I could!
I love their space! And I love the name Kobe.
Adorable. However having visited some garret apartments in Paris I must ask - where is the bathroom? and do you lug laundry down and up 7 flights?
I love this, would love to know the rent price though. Not to be nosey. I am thinking of moveing and would love to know the rent. Thanks
What a beautiful apartment. So peaceful, and it looks like you have everything you need with lots of space in between items. And the natural light is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your home.
@Therese Z: You're not alone, my attempt at 4 odd chairs would also look stupid. Why does everything look better in Paris!
I would have to have a chair/reading area looking right out one of those massive windows.
Such a nice apartment! Lovely angles. So interesting.
And I must admit, I was totally wondering what the price is, too! So glad I'm not the only nosy one!
Well, La Chapelle is one of the cheapest quartier in Paris...
More "Gare du Nord" than Gare de l'Est", but, hey, it's still in Paris right. If you want to have an idea go check on website like seloger.com to have an idea of the rent.
Unless you are French, it is not going to help you to know the rent since most apartments in Paris require you to have at least one, if ot 2, French citizen who will legally guarantee your rent and makes a sufficiently high income. Either that or if you have no family who can guarantee you (or who are French citizens living in France) you can put up a deposit of about 6 months to 1 year rent. Renting in Paris as a non- EU citizens is complicated, to say the least, which is why many expats rent under the table.
La Chappelle is a little rough as a neighborhood, but this spacious and airy apartment would make it worth it!
oh to be a french opera star and live in a garrett
@ensuenos, I think people want to know the cost because they want to have some context for how other people live. Homes in the US vary in cost from city to city, state to state, and so having context for how much rent or mortgage is helpful. What seems lavish to me may not actually be lavish at all.
@ensuenos, if I tell you I have more than enough money to put down 2 years deposit, would it then be ok to ask the rent? How silly.
Blue door love.
@ensuenos: Jeez. Do I need to put up a 6-month deposit just so I can *ask* what the rent is?
I love the dueling teapots and the photos moving around the bedroom moulding. And those beautiful doors... and a beautiful couple in a beautiful city!
Well, you all can ask the rent, but personally I think it is a bit gauche and I would never answer such a personal question on the Internet.
@ensuenos call me *gauche* but i'd love to know too
To answer everyone's questions about rent. I'm an American living in a neighborhood very close to La Chapelle with very similar rents. I only have one very small bedroom (rather than two like they have) and I pay 950 euros a month (which is probably cheap, even for my neighborhood). I'm guessing they pay between 1,200 and 1,500 euros a month if they are lucky. Hope this helps!
Rentals in France are strictly controlled under French law, with a high degre of protection for the tenant, particularly in the case of unfurhished. At most one or in some cases two months maximum advance payment can be asked, but guarantees may be required (for example, in the case of students by their parents). An offer of a guarantee cannot be refused, on the ground that the tenant/guarantor is not French. Tenants cannot be summarily evicted even for non payment of rent without a court order (a lengthy process), and there is a general ban on evictions during the winter months. For unfurnished, the minimum lease that can be offered is three years, although the tenant can give notice and leave before this period expires. Leases are almost always automatically renewable.
Furnishd apartments - popular with short-stay visitors - can be let on 1 year leases but rents tend to be higher pro rata. Because of the strict rules, especially for unfurnished, many owners prefer to leave a property vacant or in anticipation of a sale.
These are the official rules but they are often open to liberal interpretation by both landlords and tenants. All those short-stay:holiday furnished studios and apartments are for the most part illegal, but the authorities do not press the point because they are popular with tourists visiting Paris and bringing in much needed revenue to prop up the French economy!
like the living room and the red in dining area, don't like the mismatched chairs though, don't think it works, looks bare and odd. also not super keen on the view. some plants would be nice!
ah, and love the hardwood floors!
I love that this flat feels 'undecorated'- in the best possible way. It's always inspiring to see how people bring a space together out of bits and pieces from here and there and create a really attractive, personal and livable space. I spent a long time looking at those mismatched chairs, trying to figure out why they work.
Too bad the conversation got derailed into a spat about rent prices. If that's what interests you about this flat, go watch HGTVs House Hunters International. This doesn't belong here.
I usually hate photos of couples, but these guys are so cute! The CD collection really makes this for me. I just want to give them a hug.
I'm realizing that maybe is not the chairs themselves I don't like but the table, its legs with the chairs...
Blue door love is why I hope to paint the front of my bedroom door blue. Love the bottle opener replete with bottle cap holder and its advertisement. With little sunlight in my place, I love the fact that yours is flooded with natural light. Nice comfortable home and the child's art on the fridge adds to the coziness factor.
Beautiful home and thanks for sharing.
Love the tilted wall in the kitchen. Looks like something out of Dr. Seuss!
Ca va sans dire..tres jolie.
Depressing, just like the neighbourhood they're in.. Looks like i'm the only one who feels this way.
I'd love to have a stove that had a tilt-down cover that turns the burner surface into a work surface!
I love the way the walls curve to reflect the curved Second Empire roof. That style roof, where it curves around and takes in the walls, is very popular in France and that was where it originated. It was very common in the "Second Empire" period (the reign of Napoleon III), but it actually goes back a couple of hundred years before that. In the U.S. it was used for a lot of public buildings in the 1870's and is sometimes called the "General Grant" style.
I'm not actually that fond of it, but curved walls, now that is cool. I grew up in the 1/2 story of a 1 1/2 story home and my walls were the insides of the roof, at a pretty steep slope. I've always been partial to that "in the roof" look and feel. Would love to have those curved walls in my house.
Anyone interested in Second Empire, I have a page on it, as it effects houses at my house blog http://www.house-design-coffee.com/second-empire-house.html .
Love this, looks so homey and creative!
A charming abode, and a seemingly realistic snapshot of what it might be like to live in Paris as a "real" person - (i.e.as opposed to an idealistic fantasy of a rootop garret with a view of the Eiffel Tower through your flung open bedroom windows). And as a North American who decorates with random mementos of time spent in France/Paris (including that wonderful book "Paris vs. New York"), I had always wondered if Europeans do the same thing (in reverse) - I believe I have my answer! :)
If a couple feels comfortable enough to put pictures of their home's interior and personal belongings (and themselves) on the internet, why is it particularly gauche to ask how much the rent costs?
I like how spacious it seems for such a small apartment. They didn't over-furnish, which is nice, and the use of some warm colors keeps the place from looking too gloomy. If you want grey and dismal, just look out the windows. ;)
I absolutely love this apartment. The blue stairs and door are such simply but beautiful touch. One of my favorite decorating ideas is using books as actual decor and they do a wonderful job of this. Perhaps it's time to move to Paris!
-Elizabeth @ Walls Need Love
It's not generally considered rude to ask how much a property rents for in the US. It's helpful because rents can vary so widely from area to area.
I agree with Franco -- the 7 floor climb would be most depressing to me, esp. on laundry day. Not fond of the view and it looks chilly.
I love this Apartment, it has a lived in vibe, not a showroom, I am not interested in the rent, but
being European this Apartment does it for me.
I'm always curious about rents on AT. I do think it's a weird question to ask a stranger, but as zazzu points out, they're putting pictures of themselves and their entire living arrangement online for people to view, probably for as long as the internet exists...
@Ducibella, why don't rental prices belong on AT? If the resident is okay with sharing then I don't see any reason not to include it...
On the space itself, I disagree with most people here. It looks cosy for them, but I find it depressing. Totally disagree with those saying that the 4 mismatched chairs look good. Poster tacked loosely to the wall, the lamp that looks like it's on the floor beside the bed with no headboard - It honestly doesn't look like they put any real thought into the design of this place. Nothing against them, they have some beautiful things and they seem happy there which is all that matters. But I'm not understanding why this is tickling everyone.
The blue door and staircase. And that wine wall. AND that photo gallery in the bedroom... beautiful!
Superb light!
I just admire how this couple made such a cozy home with tight budget. All seems to work perfectly. I enjoy very much european tours. It reflects very much the personality of them. It´s not only things that have a sense in decoration but also personal things, paintings, the color of the walls, the different chairs.
Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely lovely.
Stoves with a tilt down cover used to be a common feature on many stoves from the 1940's to 50's many companies such as Merrit and O'Keefe, Wedgewood, Roper Town and Country, Old Western Holly made such stoves. These stoves were extremely well made and many are still working well today. My neighbor has one from the 1950's she cooks on everyday. Their is a huge vintage market for these stoves today for both looks and because of their durability. Check out my pinterests boards for vintage stoves under the name tenantproof. You can see the cool styles and perhaps order one from the many companies that refurbish so you can very own vintage stove.
Love all the warm colors, so cozy.....

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Power T600-4 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Cool, custom amp skins available Give your system its own style. You can have Rockford Fosgate's Custom Shop apply one of their special paint schemes to your T600-4 amp. Each amp gets a unique paint job, so slight variations in the designs will occur, making each amp virtually a one-of-a-kind model. Your scheme choices include Bandana, Fire, Gear, and Patriot. The custom-color versions of this amp are special ordered from Rockford Fosgate. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. Rockford Fosgate's Power Series Amplifiers Rockford Fosgate has a well-deserved reputation for building high-quality mobile audio products. Their Power Series amps occupy the top of the amplifier food chain, with fine-tuned audio controls, extreme durability, and proprietary technologies that deliver stronger, more reliable performance than most other amplifiers on the market today. Dynamic Thermal Management Power Series amps use Rockford Fosgate's patented, award-winning "Dynamic Thermal Management," a 3-stage cooling system that uses forced air to dissipate heat evenly across the amp and out through the large heatsinks. This results in cooler internal components, higher efficiency, and lower distortion. MEHSA cooling process MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. This allows the heat to escape more readily from the amplifier, so that the transistors stay cooler. Extra-quiet inputs "Differential Input" circuitry helps eliminate any electronically induced noise or hum that could be picked up by the input cables, allowing only clean signals to enter the amplifier. You get more music with less heat and noise in a stylish package that's up to 40% smaller than previous models. T600-4 Power performance The T600-4 amplifier puts out 100 watts RMS into each of its four channels more than enough to drive your front and rear speakers to their musical peaks. Or you can bridge your T600-4 to blast 300 watts each to a pair of subwoofers. Either way, you can depend on clean, powerful sound from your Power Series amp.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Features Cast Aluminum Heatsink: The cast aluminum heatsink dissipates heat generated by the amplifier's circuitry. The inherent advantage of casting provides a 30% improvement of cooling over conventional extrusion heatsink designs. Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM): DTM Evenly distributes excess heat across entire amplifier heatsink. MEHSA³ (Maximum Efficiency Heat Sink Application-Third Generation): MEHSA is a Rockford Fosgate proprietary process that increases the heat transfer from the MOSFET devices to the heatsink. The multi-layer insulated metal MEHSA substrate operates with minimal thermal resistance, spreading heat both downward and outward to quickly dissipate heat from each device across the heatsink. This allows greater power output, enhanced thermal stability, and maximum reliability. Trans-ANA (TRANSconductance Active Nodal Amplifier): Trans-ANA is a circuit that allows the audio signal to pass through the amplifier at low voltage. The signal is directly level-shifted to the fixed high voltage rails via a pair of drive transistors. Signal linearity is assured by an active node formed by the drive transistors at ultrasonic frequencies. The result is crystal clear sound quality. NOMAD (NOn-Multiplying Advanced Decision): NOMAD is an intelligent protection circuit that uses an analog computer to make real time decisions regarding temperature, voltage, current and impedance. The unit is protected without limiting sound output unless needed. TO-247 MOSFET: The Power T400-4 utilizes ultra high performance MOSFET output devices, giving the amplifier more power handling capability as well as lower thermal impedance for more reliable operation, even under the harshest load conditions. DSM (Discrete Surface Mount): In the manufacturing process high speed robotics are used to place 1% tolerance parts and large board traces. DSM improves the efficiency of the circuit, decreases cross-talk from other discrete components and lowers operating temperature. Power and Protection LEDs: The LEDs are located on top of the amplifier. A blue Power LED illuminates when the amplifier is turned on. A red Thermal LED illuminates if the amplifier overheats. The yellow Protect LED illuminates if a short circuit or too low an impedance is detected at the speaker connections. When any of the protection circuits engage, the amp automatically shuts down until the problem is corrected. Controls 2/4-Channel Switch: The 2/4-channel switch changes the T600-4 between 4-channel and 2-channel input mode. When operating in the 2-channel mode, the amplifier produces 4-channels of output with connections to only the front channel inputs. Internal Crossovers: The amplifier's internal front and rear crossovers have a 24 dB/octave slope. Each is independently selectable for high-pass, all-pass (full range), or low-pass operation and is variable from 50Hz to 500Hz. Punch EQ: Punch EQ works along with the crossover switches. Like the crossovers, the front and rear EQs are independent of one another. When the crossover is set to low-pass, the Punch EQ acts as a variable bass boost; 0-18 dB at 45 Hz. When the crossover is set to high-pass, the Punch EQ acts as variable treble boost, 0-12 dB at 12 kHz. When the crossover is set to all-pass, both the bass and treble boost circuits are active. Connections Power Connections: The power and ground terminals are nickel-plated captive c-clamp wire connectors and will accommodate up to 4-gauge wire. An external 150-amp fuse (not included) must be installed on the power wire. The remote turn-on terminal will accept wire sizes of 12- to 24-gauge. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Speaker Connections: The 4-channel nickel-plated clamp wire connectors will accept 8-gauge to 18-gauge wire. A Phillips-head or slotted screwdriver (not supplied) is required to tighten/loosen the terminals. Remote Punch EQ (PEQ) Connection: An RJ-45 jack is provided for connecting an optional remote PEQ control (575ROCKPEQ, sold separately). If you use the remote PEQ, the rear Punch EQ control on the amp is disabled, and replaced by the remote. Note: Previous model Punch Bass and Para-Punch remotes will not work with this amp.

Written By Marc D, Brevard, FL on Monday, April 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a set of Boston Pro 60SE components paired with a set of the Boston Acoustic ISTS imaging tweeters that originally I was powering with (2) two channel amps at 70w x 2 (70w to the woofers and 70w shared between the two sets of tweeters). Although this set sounded clear and great at moderate listening volumes, I could tell there was a lack of power at the higher listening range due to distortion. I kept reading on line that the PRO 60 SE's loved power, so I started looking for a minimum of 100w into four channels. I came across this amp (refurbished) one Crutchfield one day, and immediately recognized a good deal. I took a chance on it being refurbished knowing of Cruthfield's return policy. Well, I have not been disappointed. Holy Crap! I had no idea what I was missing in the higher end. This amp has totally awakened my front sound stage, and I love the relatively small footprint it leaves for a decently high powered class ab amp. I was debating between JL Audio's HD600, Alpine's pdx4 and 6, and fosgate's 600-4 and 800-4. After hearing this amp, I wouldn't waste the money on the extra 50 watts a channel produced at 4 ohms by the the other choices. The 600-4 is more than enough power for my needs, and the 24 db crossover slope to boot was fantastic. Good build quality, and only gets warm while playing loud and long ( I'm only running it a four ohms stereo). A plus on wiring connections to the amp as well, very convenient. I have no regrets! Pros: Bullet proof build, very musical, easy wiring connections, relatively small footprint for class ab, 24 db crossover slope. The list goes on and on...I'm very impressed with rockford. This was my first rockford purchase. Cons: No output / test sheet given with refurbished amps. I would like to know what the factory said thing was really doing at 4 ohms without having to test it myself. Other than that, no performance issues at this point. Great amp! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Product Written By RG, Wisconsin on Saturday, April 16, 2011 This does the job just fine, running components and a bridged sub. It never distorts and doesn't get too hot either. I mounted it under the seat and it barely clears but nonetheless fits; I gained some more clearance by removing the carpet. The crossovers are good; they split the frequencies up clean between the sub and components. I do not know what else to say really other than I chose Rockford for the same reason I chose Pioneer for the HUD: I have had great past experience and I think these brands offer the best quality for the price based on consensus reviews and my own experience; I have been curious about alpine though. The certification slip on my amp reads over 700 watts RMS. Also, if you get a Rockford wiring kit, the warranty on this is 3 years. Overall, I got the impression that Rockford really stands by their product and for my setup, this amp has been perfect.

For many folks, their first apartments are studios. These compact homes aren't always easy to live in and can take some getting used to (although they're usually palaces compared to dorm rooms), but with the right materials and management, they can make for ideal living quarters. If you know someone who's made the move into a first studio apartment, why not get him or her a housewarming gift to celebrate the move and help keep the apartment in shape?
Consider these six great gifts that are small on space and big on value.
1. A storage-savvy hamper. Clean clothes can be folded and hung, but dirty clothes tend to take up more space, littered around the floor as they tend to be. Why not encourage some clean laundry habits by giving the gift of a foldable storage hamper or bag. No reason it can't be stylish too. Canvas is a particularly versatile and durable material.
2. A French press. With hardly enough room for a sink and stove, there's rarely counterspace for a full-sized coffee maker. A French press is a fantastic option for the space-starved, and it also makes really good coffee. Many prefer it to drip brewing.
3. Shelving. Storage space is hard to come by, so when it comes to a personal library, the best shelving might not rest on the ground. Consider purchasing and helping to install shelves that can ring the apartment walls right below the ceiling. This out-of-the-way storage will be perfect for much more than just books.
4. An under desk heater. Heating can be hard to manage in a studio apartment - too often the room is either freezing or flush with sweltering warmth from the furnace. Help your studio-dweller avoid that fate with an under desk heater. Produced by WarmlyYours, these clever units use radiant heat and basic convection to keep users warm - whether working at a desk or just hanging out in an armchair watching TV.
5. A sleeper sofa. This may qualify as spoiling, but a sleeper sofa is a boon to anyone with a studio apartment. By combining bed and lounge furniture, the space is considerably more open and breathable.
6. A mirror or two. Go with something more stylish than a simple square glass. And these fixtures can become décor accents that do the secondary job of opening the room up and making it seem larger.

The BMC Racing Team converged from all parts of the globe in Santa Rosa, California, Saturday to ready for the team's two-week training camp.
While seven riders and a host of support staff are on hand at the Santos Tour Down Under in Australia, the team's remaining riders and staff assembled throughout the day via San Francisco International Airport. Past world champion Alessandro Ballan arrived from Italy at mid-afternoon with Assistant Director Sportif and former professional Fabio Baldato.
Plenty Of Apparel
Each BMC Racing Team rider found more than 100 items of racing and casual clothing, courtesy of Hincapie Sportswear, waiting for them in their rooms at the Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel and Spa. The first order of business for many of them was a training ride on their new BMC pro machine SLC01 and racemaster SLX01 bicycles. With heavy rain and strong winds forecast for the region for the next week, the opportunity to take a spin in overcast – but dry – conditions was a welcome one.
What Lies Ahead
Sunday's first official day of training camp will consist of a variety of activities on and off their BMC bicycles. Dr. Andrew Wong and staff from Cardiology Consultants of Napa Valley will join BMC Racing Team physicians, Dr. Max Testa and Dr. Eric Heiden, in the cardiology department of Queen of the Valley Medical Center. The riders will be put through extensive testing, including cardiac ultrasound, ECG and stress ECG tests, and a full battery of basic physical and orthopedic exams. A two-hour afternoon training ride at an easy pace will follow.

UM-Dearborn rated fourth among master's-level public universities in the Midwest in the annual guide to American colleges published by U.S. News & World Report
August 28, 2009
DEARBORN / Aug. 28, 2009---The University of Michigan-Dearborn was rated fourth among master's-level public universities in the Midwest in the annual guide to American colleges published by U.S. News & World Report.
In addition, the campus's College of Engineering and Computer Science was rated among the top undergraduate engineering programs in the country at schools without doctoral programs. The magazine publishes that list for students who prefer a program focused on undergraduates.
The ratings appear in the magazine's annual guide to America's best colleges, published Aug. 25.
In the magazine's ratings, UM-Dearborn is compared with other public universities that offer a full range of undergraduate and master's degree programs, but few or no doctoral degrees. Those institutions are rated by region because they tend to draw students from their surrounding areas, according to U.S. News.
The magazine said it bases its overall rankings on quantitative measures that education experts have proposed as reliable indicators of academic quality. Their rankings of engineering programs are based on a peer survey of deans and senior faculty members at schools around the country.
It is particularly gratifying to see our campus at number four in the Midwest, according to Stanley E. Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life. This is a tangible expression of what students and families have been saying for years about our quality and value.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (October 25, 2012)—Pacific Ocean, who won the Grade III Vernon O. Underwood last fall at Betfair Hollywood Park, is the 7-2 second choice in the $350,000 Frank J. DeFrancis Memorial Dash Saturday at Laurel.
A six furlong race for older horses, the DeFrancis is the 10th of 11 races. Scheduled post time is 2:09 p.m. PDT. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 10:15 a.m. for simulcasts.
Owned by Dennis Narlinger and trained by Rick Dutrow, Jr., Pacific Ocean won the Underwood last Nov. 26 by 2 ¼ lengths in his lone start for trainer Mike Mitchell.
In three 2012 races for Dutrow, Pacific Ocean has been off the board twice, but did lead gate-to-wire in the Grade III James Marvin July 20 at Saratoga.

1. Be Impeccable with your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
Thank you to Cheron Norvell, Lawrence Majette, Dawn and the crew at Costco, Shelly Pittman, Red at Mini Movers and Kevin Foskey!!! We blessed 40 families with Thanksgiving Baskets!!
Well a lot has changed since the last time I blogged. And here it goes……. Kristin is in her second year of college. Collin is tenth grade and is doing great. My dog Meesha is still spoiled and mean as ever. And me……. Well I didn't get married. Will I ever marry you may ask? Only the good Lawd knows. Some say, I did not marry because I am too mean, others say I did not marry because I am stuck in my ways, and the majority says, I did not get married, because I needed stronger medication!! I agree with all three!!!
Moving right along to my weight…... The last time we spoke I lost a great deal of weight. But somehow the weight has made itself back onto my body in the form of fried chicken, pizza, wine, wine, wine, and oh yeah more wine. So I'm back to losing weight again. It's nothing wrong with losing things, I have lost my mind and it's been the greatest feeling ever!!! Hell I don't even want my mind back!! On a sad note, my brother Ronnie passed suddenly in March and I'm still grieving his death. My heart hurts as I write this. My assurance is… Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Rest in Peace Ronnie I will see you on the other side.
Things that are still the same….I still miss and want my mother more than you will ever know. I still love the hymns of the church and sing them daily at home of course. I still don't like people. I still love hanging out with my children and giving back to my community. I still love God and believe that heaven is my final home. I still don't like writing blogs but I have too, because my boss made it mandatory. So I'll talk with you in the next blog and the blog after that, and the blog after that, and so on…. And so on… and so on….. Because I need my job……Blessings
