Overall Experience:
I LOVE this campus. It's small and offers 1 on 1
Overall Experience:
Fairmont State University is a good school, but there financial aid department could use some work.
Overall Experience:
The campus is amazing and everyone on staff is extremely helpful and caring. The students are very nice and always willing to help
Overall Experience:
What makes my schools CJ program so unique is its passionate faculty and the student groups like Alpha Phi Sigma that help students gain experience and accolades for job interviews.
They try to maintain to very strict standards.
Off-Campus Housing:
Many nice, cheap housing available off campus.
Party Scene:
Many house parties but never out of hand.
Off-Campus Dining:
Many places to choice from and local restaurants.
Campus Food:
Campus food is very convenient and there are many different options.
Campus Housing:
Many places for campus housing and very clean.
Because we are overshadowed by WVU, I don't consider them to be important. It's a very "high-school" ish vibe here for our athletics.
Off-Campus Housing:
We LOVE where we live, because it isn't close to the loud frats and sororities. The prices are still better than living on campus.
Off-Campus Dining:
It's much like the small town I grew up in, so I don't mind it.
I don't know much about administration, other than they have been helpful when the people of lesser authority were unable to help me.
Party Scene:
Drunkenness causes fights around here. It's dangerous and annoying.
The financial aid process was a mess! I suggest being prepared to fill out a ton of papers.
Campus Food:
There are both healthy and unhealthy choices, which makes a nice balance of options.
Campus Housing:
My experience involved a decent amount of freedom.
Party Scene:
Very boring and all the parties are either fraternities and sororities or at this run down bar in the middle of nowhere.
Campus Food:
The cafe is sometimes really bad and the Nickel is way too expensive. We aren't given enough Flex dollars either.
Campus Housing:
I do not currently live on campus
Guys & Girls:
As an out of state freshman, I know tons of people. It's hard to walk somewhere and not see anyone I know. The guys usually will have your back no matter what. The girls tend to be stuck up from time to time, depending on the girls.. Most people don't really "dress to impress", we're more laid back.
Off-Campus Dining:
There's a lot of places to grab a bite to eat off campus. The college lunch is one of everyone's favorite. It's close to campus and not expensive! There's a lot of fast food places around campus too in case you miss dinner because of studying or class. The McDonald's closest to campus doesn't always have the best food... Wendy's is probably the best fast food place when it comes to quality. I enjoy eating at Fujiama by Food Lion for sushi, it's super cheap Mon-Thurs from 7PM until close. SUPER CHEAP.
I do not participate in any athletics or clubs on campus. I'm focused on my school and work load right now. I do go to basketball games as much as possible! I also plan on attending baseball games. Our football team isn't the best, but you will still see students supporting them on the field.
Party Scene:
The parties can be pretty awesome. That's how you make tons of friends. During welcome weekend I actually met someone from my major and was really excited. We talked about it for a few minutes then went on our ways. The frat houses or baseball/football/cheer/volleyball/etc. houses are the best places to go!

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
24 May 2011 09:49 GMT | Politics, Humanitarian crises, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, China
A North Korean soldier stands guard in the demilitarised zone separating the two Koreas [AFP]
A US human rights envoy has arrived in North Korea, as Washington considers whether to resume food aid and amid hopes that stalled nuclear talks could soon resume.Robert King's arrival on Tuesday marked the first official US visit to Pyongyang in 17 months - Stephen Bosworth, the US special envoy for North Korea, was the last American official to visit in December 2009. The envoy will lead a team of five people on the week-long trip to evaluate the isolated North's pleas for food, which have been questioned by South Korea as well as some high-profile US senators. North Korea's KCNA state news agency said King had arrived "to consult humanitarian issues" between North Korea and the United States. The United States is under pressure to resume food aid after a UN report said earlier this year that more than six million North Koreans urgently need help. Washington has stressed that King's trip does not mean a resumption of aid is imminent. Scott Snyder, North Korea expert, wrote on the Council of Foreign Relations website, "Since North Korea sees US decisions on humanitarian aid through a political lens, the food aid assessment might be treated in Pyongyang as a political signal that the Obama administration might finally be open to a broader political dialogue with North Korea." King's visit comes as North Korea leader Kim Jong-il tours ally China on a trip to "study" its economic model. Diplomats and analysts say the North, squeezed by international sanctions for nuclear and missile tests in 2009, will probably also ask for more food and economic aid from its main benefactor. In return, according to experts, Beijing is expected to press the North to join the South in bilateral talks as a prelude to regional denuclearisation talks, stalled for over two years after Pyongyang walked out over a new round of UN sanctions. Beijing says the so-called six party talks between the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States are the best diplomatic forum to resolve all issues on the peninsula, not just denuclearisation. Tensions spiked last year after two deadly attacks killed 50 South Koreans. Seoul's suspicionsAfter last month's trip to the North, Jimmy Carter, former US President, accused Seoul and Washington of human rights abuses for denying the North aid. Washington suspended food supplies to the North in 2008 over a monitoring dispute and said it would only resume them with Seoul's agreement.Critics of aid say the North has siphoned off the food in the past to feed its million-strong army, and South Korea says the North's food stocks are at the same levels as last year. Officials in Seoul also suspect North Korea wants to hoard food ahead of a third nuclear test, which would likely provoke a further tightening of international sanctions.King is also expected to raise broader human rights issues with North Korean officials, as well as the case of an American citizen detained in North Korea since last November on charges of doing missionary work.

Escape!: The Story of the Great Houdiniby Sid Fleischman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Who was this man who could walk through brick walls and, with a snap of his fingers, vanish elephants? In these pages you will meet the astonishing Houdini — magician, ghost chaser, daredevil, pioneer aviator, and king of escape artists. No jail cell or straitjacket could hold him! He shucked off handcuffs as easily as gloves.
In this fresh, witty biography of the most famous bamboozler since Merlin, Sid Fleischman, a former professional magician, enriches his warm homage with insider information and unmaskings. Did Houdini really pick the jailhouse lock to let a fellow circus performer escape? Were his secrets really buried with him? Was he a bum magician, as some rivals claimed? How did he manage to be born in two cities, in two countries, on two continents at the same instant?
Here are the stories of how a knockabout kid named Ehrich Weiss, the son of an impoverished rabbi, presto-changoed himself into the legendary Harry Houdini. Here, too, are rare photographs never before seen by the general reader!
"Fleischman's (The Whipping Boy) colorful, anecdotal biography of Harry Houdini (1874 -1926) offers an accessible portrait of this master of magic and escape. The author sets an affectionate and humorous tone, beginning with his subject's most famous feats, and then declaring, 'As a devout magician, I am able to reveal only that I may "not" reveal Houdini's secrets.' Fleischman neatly sorts out facts, speculation and legend as he traces the performer's career, from his early stints in vaudeville, with a circus and traveling medicine show and even, along with his wife and on-stage sidekick, Bess, 'a part-time career as ghost wranglers and mind-reading fakers.' A savvy self-promoter, Houdini made headlines through such successful challenges as breaking out of a Chicago jail cell, yet, Fleischman wryly notes, his 'sudden fame was written in vanishing ink.' After securing a solid reputation in Europe, the 'monarch of manacles' became a stage sensation and financial success in this country as well, with some of his more famous feats, such as escaping from a straitjacket while suspended upside-down from a building. A 'teenage conjuror' and former vaudevillian himself, Fleischman brings an insider's sensibility to Houdini's story (after Houdini's death, he came to know Bess, who 'became a sort of den mother to us young enthusiasts'). One gets the sense that the author delved into his subject for his own enjoyment, and brings readers along for an entertaining ride. Copious photographs help flesh out Houdini's robust, larger-than-life personality and underscore the range and audacity of his exploits. Ages 9-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Fleischman's tone is lively and he develops a relationship with readers by revealing just enough truth behind Houdini's razzle-dazzle to keep the legend alive." School Library Journal
In this passionate biography, the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Whipping Boy turns his eye to the greatest magician of them all: Harry Houdini. Includes an index, Author's Note, and bibliography. Photos.
About the Author
The cheapest crystal ball could have predicted that Sid Fleischman, the Newbery Award-winning author of The Whipping Boy, would someday write a biography of the hero of his youth — the immortal magician Harry Houdini.
As a teenage prestidigitator, Fleischman came to know the widowed Bess Houdini, who had retired to Southern California. In his autobiography, The Abracadabra Kid: A Writer's Life, he describes her as "a kind of den mother to us young West Coast magicians." She gave him photographs that now appear in these pages.
Among Sid Fleischman's celebrated comic novels, published in nineteen countries, are The Giant Rat of Sumatra, Bandit's Moon, Disappearing Act, Bo & Mzzz Mad, and The 13th Floor: A Ghost Story. The father of three children (one of whom is Newbery Medalist Paul Fleischman), he lives in Santa Monica, California.

"Outstanding ... deftly inserts humor into what could easily have been an unrelentingly grim plot line." —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"The most entertaining case for Siri (Love Songs from a Shallow Grave, 2010, etc.) in years." —Kirkus
"Any crime fan who hasn't discovered the Dr. Siri books should start here and then work back. This is the eighth and best , and it's been far too long since book seven." —Globe and Mail
"Cotterill brings together all the elements that have made the stories so popular: a good mystery, plenty of humor, and a touch of the supernatural. A must for series fans."—Booklist
Praise for the Dr. Siri series:
"Unpredictable.... Tragically funny and magically sublime."—Entertainment Weekly
"A wonderfully fresh and exotic mystery. If Cotterill had done nothing more than treat us to Siri's views on the dramatic, even comic crises that mark periods of government upheaval, his debut mystery would still be fascinating. But the multiple cases spread out on Siri's examining table are not cozy entertainments but substantial crimes that take us into the thick of political intrigue."—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
"You get a real feeling for what Laos was like in the '70s. The humor is wonderful, too."—New York Post
"The sights, smells and colors of Laos practically jump off the pages of this inspired, often wryly witty first novel."—Denver Post
"A fresh and innovative detective who goes straight to the heart and soul, without any sappty sentiment. THe author gives us exotic locations; a world that few us know well; crisp, intelligent, and often-witty writing; and most of all a hero unlike any other."—Philadelphia Inquirer
"A crack storyteller and an impressive guide to a little-known culture."—Washington Post Book World
"This is the seventh and most sardonic of Mr. Cotterill's Dr. Siri series, and it is not easy to cope with the combination of misery and merry melancholy that he employs. His writing, as always, is skillful and smooth and his plot is artfully strung together. The book fascinates as it chills."—Washington Times
"This wonderful series has consistently managed to convey the beauty and sadness of this damaged country through the wisdom and humor of its protagonist."—Boston Globe
"I love this elegantly written series, set in Laos with clever, septuagenarian coroner Dr. Siri. This one, the seventh, is the best, but all of them are terrific.... A delightful mix of history and politics, and an excellent mystery."—Toronto Globe and Mail
"It's a rare treat to say that a book placed so far into a series is the best one. Authors more often than not run out of steam by the seventh book. Not Colin Cotterill."—The Oregonian
"Colorful."—Seattle Times
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Colin Cotterill was born in London in 1952. He trained as a teacher and worked in Israel, Australia, the US, and Japan before training teachers in Thailand and on the Burmese border. He wrote and produced a language teaching series for Thai national television and spent several years in Laos. Colin is involved in a number of social projects, many to benefit children. With his wife he set up a book and scholarship program in Laos and runs a small school for the children of Burmese migrants near his home.
All the while Colin continues with his two other passions: cartooning and writing. Since 2000 he has written over fifteen books, including the Dr. Siri crime series set in Laos. Colin lives in Chumphon in the south of Thailand with his wife where he rides his bicycle along the coast, decapitates coconuts, eats a lot of squid, plays with his dogs, and occasionally sits down to write. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"We are changing the field by working together," says Davies, who holds weekly video-conferencing sessions that unite the center's far-flung members. "We're pulling together the range of expertise needed to go beyond our individual research programs and develop broad applications of C-H functionalization."
Graduate students serve as liaisons, bridging labs and specialties. Felicia Fullilove, a PhD candidate in the Davies lab, is collaborating with a chemical engineer at the Scripps Research Institute, where she will spend some time this fall.
"It's great experience to venture outside of our group and bounce ideas off of someone with a different perspective," Fullilove says. "It's changed the way I think about chemistry. Most big science problems now require more of a team effort, so it's important to learn how to communicate across specialties."
Fullilove especially appreciated the chance to travel with a CCHF team to Washington DC, to help make the case for the $20 million grant to move the center into its second phase. "We had to make presentations and answer some tough questions before a panel," she says. "I learned a lot by seeing the inner workings of the grant process."
The CCHF is now poised to help C-H functionalization enter the mainstream of organic chemistry, Davies says. "We will keep building on the synergy and trust we've created," Davies says. "Collaboration will help us to make advances faster."
Many hurdles remain, he adds, before C-H functionalization can be fully optimized for broad applications. "Our goal is to make available a suite of chemical transformations for bond formation that are predictable, general and utilitarian," Davies says. "It's going to be an incredibly difficult thing to achieve completely, but even if we partially achieve it, that will be a huge advance for chemistry and for society.

The Malik Report
Red Wings lend Red Bird III to Griffins
by George Malik on 06/16/13 at 09:05 PM ET
Comments (7)
Tomorrow, the Grand Rapids Griffins will head to Syracuse, New York to begin to prepare for a hopefully Calder Cup-clinching Game 6 of their AHL Final series against the Syracuse Crunch (Game 6 will take place on Tuesday and an if-necessary Game 7 would take place on Thursday, with both games held at the Onecenter War Memorial Arena).
As the Griffins attempt to rebound from losses in Games 4 and 5, they won't have to repeat their 12-plus-hour bus ride around Lake Erie's southern shore and into Upstate New York in a pair of sleeper buses (and it should be noted that the Crunch spent Saturday night and Sunday morning busing back to Syracuse).
According to the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner, the Griffins will traverse the 480-or-so miles between "GR" and Syracuse in a little over an hour thanks to an assist from the Red Wings:
The Grand Rapids Griffins have received approval from the Detroit Red Wings organization to fly Monday to Syracuse on the Red Wings charter place, assistant general manager Ryan Martin confirmed.
The Griffins, who were given Sunday off following Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Crunch, will depart 10 a.m. and are expected to practice late Monday at War Memorial Arena in Syracuse.

Red Bird III. The Tigers are playing in Detroit this week, all week long.

That 12 hour ride worked out fine the first two games, what happened to superstition?
Posted by maltby18 on 06/16/13 at 10:39 PM ET
The vast majority of these players have played somewhere close to 80 regular-season games and almost 20 playoff games. It's about reducing wear and tear whenever possible now, and cutting a 12-hour commute down to a 90-minute one changes the equation significantly.

That's awesome to hear. Good on the Wings for lending a hand!

49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was a guest on KNBR and was asked if he thinks he'll sign an extension since he's going into the final year of his rookie deal.
"I think it's a balance. You want to be paid fairly for what you feel like you're doingin comparison to your peers," Kaepernick said on KNBR, via ProFootballTalk.com. "But at the same time, you have to realize, if we want to get Anquan Boldin back, if we want Donte Whitner to come back, we're going to have to make moves to get them back. And there has to be room for everyone. And that's something I'm going to let my agent and the organization try to figure out. But hopefully, it's a position where we can assemble the best team we need."

People love the idea of super-cheap transportation. Two generations ago, Volkswagen captured the world's attention with the Beetle (known originally as "The People's Car"), but when people finally drove the rear-engined VW, they realized it was more than just a cheap car – it was remarkably fun to drive.
India's Tata Motors picked up on the people's car idea several years ago. Motorbikes and pedal bikes are the go-to transportation options for millions in India, which presented an opportunity. But with the average price of a new car in the U.S. hovering around $30,000, an inconceivable sum in the developing world, Tata would have to do something very different. The tiny Nano was the result. It's currently on sale in India starting at around $2,500. That sound you hear is over a billion people cheering because they can now envision themselves owning transportation with a roof that they don't have to pedal.
The pint-sized sedan wowed crowds at its New Delhi introduction in 2008 and Tata began exporting the Nano throughout the developing world. Speculation swirled that the company would eventually target the U.S. after the car was put on display at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, but do we really want it here?
