Your CV (curriculum vitae) is the businesscard you give to the company where you are going to apply, usually combined with your cover letter. Your CV is a sum of short sentences that explain who you are, what you are capable of and what working experience you have. If you do not have any experience with making or delivering a cv, guidelines could be helpful. So, what exactly do you include in your CV?
Your personal details are always on top of your CV. At least state your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, marital status, nationality, date of birth and place of birth. Nowadays it is usual, at least, if you are using it in a professional way, to add your LinkedIn and Twitter account.
State all your relevant studies and courses that you have taken. Start with the last study you were doing or all still doing and work in a chronological way back. State the name of the educational institution, diplomas/degrees you have obtained and the dates.
Under the heading work experience will be the enumeration of jobs you have had. The same here, start with the most recent job you have had and work your way back into history. State the name of the companies for which you have worked, the location, the job title you filled and a short job description. Depending on the function you are applying for, leave irrelevant jobs behind.
In your CV, state what languages you speak and for every language indicate a level (in writing and orally) the best lay out is as follows: fluent, good, moderate for oral skills and good, moderate for writing skills.
Indicate what computer programs you control and how well you do it. Think about software packages but specific systems as well.
Lastly, state all issues you think are important but have not shown up in your CV yet. Think about hobbies, interests and other relevant topics that say something about you. Do not forget to state your other activities, if you have done any administrative functions or voluntary work, you state this as well of course. Use the last part of your CV to make it as personal as possible.
Does your standard CV look great? Read how you can pimp it to a killer CV.
Have you read the standard requirements of making a CV Have you included everything? Then it is about time to adjust your CV to the type of employee and position. We give you fifteen tips to change your basic CV to a successful killer-CV.
Place your contact details: on top of your CV, not only state your contact details but also your e-mail address, your LinkedIn and Twitter account, as long as you use it professionally, or your website URL.
Use a professional e-mail address: email@example.com is not very representative.
Photo, yes or no?A face is easier to remember between the pile of CV's but make sure the photo is professional, representative and clearly visible. Don't you have a picture like this, or not? Ask your closer circle what they think or just don't use it.
Use hyperlinks in your text: for example to your LinkedIn profile or to a blog or projects you have realized and have online. Select the text that you want to link, click on the right mouse button and choose "hyperlink". Then fill in the URL of the site you want to link. Note: too many hyperlinks will make your text unreadable and thus will have an adverse effect.
Only include relevant working experience in your CV: An employer in the communication sector might not be interested that you have worked as a shelf stacker. Don't you have a lot of work experience and are you afraid that your CV will be too short? Just spent more time on extra activities. Maybe you have worked for the school paper or you are very good at Photoshop?
Be honest: There is nothing wrong with over-colouring your CV but never lie. It can come out in the job interview or even after you have been hired. If you still have to apply for other jobs afterwards, this is never a good reference.
Make a basic CV: Write down everything you have done including languages, computer skills and hobbies. Then adjust your CV for every job so that it fits the function requirements in the vacancy.
Do not make it too long: Even though you have done a lot for the past few years, you cannot put everything in your cv. It has to fit on two sides.
Make sure it is clearly aid out: is everything neatly lined out? Does it look clear? Do you have the same enumerations signs everywhere? The lay-out of your CV gives the first impression even before somebody reads your CV. Do not use undue fonts because it distracts from the content.
10. Put your name in the header of the document: double click in the top of the document where you cannot write. Insert a header text and write for example curriculum vitae (your name). Handy when the HR-employee mixes up CV's
Print your CV: So that you can see if it still looks good this way.
Avoid errors: let somebody who is good at texts read your cv. Just like writing a cover letter, you have become a bit word blind in the end. Somebody else can pick the little mistakes out.
Are you all ready? Save the result as a pdf, this way nobody can change it anymore. It looks way better as well. Use a practical name.
Is your LinkedIn profile still up to date? You have sent a great CV but is it still coherent to what is on your profile? It does not have to all be the same but a future employer should be able to recognize you. Therefore, use the same photo and try to let the purpose shine through.
Look at your last tweets: just check, If you have included your twitter profile on your CV, there is a big chance that a member of HR has taken a look at it. Make sure that your last tweets do not show how big your hangover is and how hard you can curse.
Have you completed your CV? Check our vacancies and start applying!

This is a good thing.
When I picked up The Imp at daycare today, he looked tired, and a little wan. My mom-spider senses got a little twitchy. On the ride home (all four minutes of it) he fell asleep. Since I had just been describing to a friend how The Imp never. stops. moving, to have him fall asleep at 5:30 in the afternoon was a bit of a red flag. We got inside the apartment, and all he wanted to do was sit in my lap.
Me: "Okay, honey, come sit in my lap for one minute and then I'll start making dinner."
The Imp: "No. I want to have a long, long, long, long, very long hug."
Me: "Okay. Come sit with me and let's have a hug."
The Imp crawled into my lap, rested his head against my chest, and put his little arms around me.
Me: "What should we have for dinner tonight? Would you like to have French toast?"
The Imp, holding me tighter: "No. I just want to have a long, long hug."
It should be noted that French toast is one of The Imp's favourite meals of all time. He loves to help me make it, he loves that it can be eaten with syrup or jam and how cool is that? He loves French toast. It is second only to blueberry pancakes in The Imp's little foodie heart.
When he didn't even lift his head off my chest at the mention of French toast, I knew we had a problem.
Me: "Honey, would you like to cuddle with Mommy on the couch?"
The Imp: "Yes."
Three minutes later he was sound asleep. His cheeks were flushed, and a thermometer gently placed in his armpit revealed a slightly elevated temperature.
In months past, I would've gone into crisis management mode. I would've immediately put him to bed, dosed him with ibuprofen, taken his temperature every 15 minutes. I would've set up Seizure Watch HQ in his room (basically a pallet on the floor for me to
In other words, I would've freaked out.
Not without cause; he's had a couple of febrile seizures in the past, and they are terrifying to behold. But this time I feel like I've got a handle on it. Don't get me wrong, I still won't sleep much, but at least I'll be not sleeping in my own bed. I'll check on him every few hours, and if he spikes a real fever, I'll administer ibuprofen as required. But I'm not panicking. I don't have knots in my stomach. I'm not picturing him turning blue with foam coming out of his mouth, which is what his first febrile seizure looked like. (Seriously, the most horrible experience of my entire life, thinking I was watching my 16 month old dying in my arms. I have no words.)
He's a sturdy little boy who's had a runny nose for a couple of days, and his body's fighting off whatever
And I am not freaking out. He's fine.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - For the second time on Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence took the rare step of breaking a tie in the U.S. Senate, as he cast the deciding vote in rolling back protections for federal funds for family planning and reproductive health.
In a 51-50 vote, senators approved killing a rule intended to keep federal grants flowing to clinics that provide contraception and other services in states that want to block the funding. In recent years states such as Texas have kept some healthcare providers from receiving the grants, as part of the country's longstanding fight over abortion.
Earlier in the day, Pence was called upon to end the deadlock over advancing the resolution to a final vote.

Nicola Sturgeon has defended her plans to stage a second referendum on independence, insisting she has a "duty" to offer Scots an alternative to a "disastrous" hard Tory Brexit.
The Scottish First Minister came under fire at Holyrood after Monday's bombshell announcement, with the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats joining forces to condemn her plans at First Minister's Questions.
Sturgeon has already outlined proposals to hold a second referendum sometime between the autumn of 2018 and the spring of 2019. She said: "The reality here is quite simple, I want to give people in Scotland a choice over their own future.
"We know that change is coming, the EU referendum last year made that change inevitable. We know that the Tories want to lead us off a hard Brexit cliff-edge.
"I think the people of Scotland should not simply have to accept being told what their future should be by a Conservative Government that we don't support. We should have the choice to choose a better future, and that's a choice I intend to give to the people of Scotland."
While Ruth Davidson campaigned to stay part of the European Union in 2016, the First Minister said the Tory now "tells us we've simply got to accept Brexit – not just Brexit but a hard Brexit – regardless of the consequences".
Ms Sturgeon continued: "We know that the path the Tories are trying to take this country down could cost every household in this country more than £5,000. "The impact of Brexit on everybody in our country is going to be disastrous and that's why I have a duty to allow people the choice to opt for something better."
Ms Davidson insisted: "The truth is a referendum won't help pupils in Scotland and it won't help patients come off waiting lists and it won't help solve the GP crisis and it won't cut violent crime.
"It will just take this Government away from the day job which is supposed to be its focus."
She told MSPs reports had suggested "an independent Scotland would be £11bn in the red and would need higher taxes, lower spending and increased borrowing".
But Ms Sturgeon argued a deficit had been built up by Labour and Conservative administrations in London.
"That is a deficit created on Westminster's watch and it is about time we had the tools and the ability to work our way out of deficits that Tory and Labour governments have created in Scotland," she said.
"I think Scotland deserves a choice and that choice is this – take control of our own finances to build, grow and innovate our way to a better future or allow Tories to make the same mistakes over and over again, and make the situation worse."
After the Tories challenged her mandate to hold a fresh independence referendum, Ms Sturgeon said: "I was elected as First Minister a year ago with the highest constituency share of the vote in the history of devolution on a manifesto commitment that says this Parliament should have the right to hold another referendum if the Tories tried to drag us out of Europe against our will.
"That 46% share of the vote is 10 percentage points higher than the 36% share that the Tories used to have the EU referendum in the first place. "This Parliament has an independence majority in it as well.
"So Ruth Davidson says she wants to put this Parliament first – let me issue this direct challenge to Ruth Davidson and the Conservative Party.
"If on Wednesday next week this Parliament votes for an independence referendum to give the people of Scotland a choice over their own future, will the Conservatives respect the will of this Parliament or are the Conservatives are running scared?"

I was looking through my closet over the weekend, seeing what pretty frocks I could pull out of the woodwork (and taking note of how desperately my closet needs a purging, yikes), when I pulled out this dress. It's definitely one of my favorite dresses ever. I was thumbing through a sale rack at Nordstrom something like 7 years ago when I found this dreamy daffodil printed dress by Diane von Furstenburg that was marked down to something like 75% off. The print is a little bolder than what I would usually wear at the time, but once I tried it on, I knew it needed to come home with me.
I adore the daffodil print on this dress, can't get over how flattering the cut is, and love that it has pockets (duh). What's not to love? Since we had such a gorgeous weekend, it had to get worn.
Other than wearing awesome daffodil print dresses, the weekend was fairly uneventful. I spent most of the weekend at home relaxing, cleaning, and cooking. I made some really cute cupcakes for Easter that I'll be sharing later this week, and also made some chili!
I've been really trying to take to heart one of my goals for the year, which is to eat better. I've been doing really well with it lately, but with Easter coming up, I obviously needed to whip up something to sate my sweet tooth. We'll talk more about cupcakes later this week- promise!
Did you guys get up to anything fun this weekend?

Sin City Vapor is happy to offer you a selection of the highest quality clearomizers available. While the clearomizer is a relatively new type of product their design is quite similar to an atomizer or a cartomizer.
What Makes a Clearomizer Different?
Like other forms of vaporizers, a clearomizer uses a heating element to heat the e-liquid inside the cylinder to the temperature where it becomes a vapor which can then be inhaled. One of the key differences of a clearomizer is the clear tank. A clear tank means that you can see exactly how much e-juice is left in the vaporizer. This might not sound like a huge deal but if you've ever used a regular atomizer you know how frustrating it can be when you go to take a hit and your tank is on empty. Clearomizer tanks are also, on average, larger than the other types of vaporizers.
If you have questions about any of our clearomizers, or anything else on our site, feel free to contact us. We're here to help you get exactly what you want from a vaporizer.

I have two gorgeous sons, aged 4 and 6 years. We have a bedtime routine that calms and soothes. A routine which aims to create an environment in which they can happily slip into the land of nod in less than the average 15 minutes it allegedly takes for children to shut their brains down for the day.
Except that my children simply do not like to go the f&*k to sleep.
For my children, it takes – on average – 1-2 hours to get to sleep. Plus around a dozen pilgrimages from their beds to wherever their father and I have chosen to attempt to unwind for the evening – to tell us all about why they can't go the f&*k to sleep.
Usually my response to their pleas starts out as:
'Okay darling, but you need your sleep. Now go back to bed.'
By the time we get to the twelfth journey down the hallway, I have graduated to:
Now, given it is my calling – and my career – to place words in close proximity to each other in innovative, interesting and meaningful ways, this stagnation in messaging is simply unacceptable.
Tonight is the night that everything changes. Imma gonna get creative with bedtime.
If you, too, find yourself telling your offspring to just go the f&*k to sleep in an unchanging nightly crescendo, why not try some of these approaches yourself?^ It won't make your child go to sleep any faster but it might just keep you from throwing your shoe after them as they stomp back down the hallway.^^
1. 'If you don't go to sleep now, Santa won't come'
Child: But Santa only comes at Christmas.
Parent: Ah, that's what they want you to think. Santa actually comes EVERY night of the year to children who fall asleep in less than 1 minute.
2. 'Dors et fais pas chier'
Because telling your child to 'Go the f&*k to sleep' doesn't count as bad parenting if you say it in French.
3. You will be dead in 11 days if you don't go to sleep
Actually it might only take 8-10 days to die from sleep deprivation. Studies vary. There's nothing like mortality as a motivator.
4. Mary Poppins says you can stay awake; don't go to sleep
This will make no sense to your child whatsoever, but it will make you giggle about dancing penguins and jumping through paintings on the footpath.
You may also break into a rousing rendition of 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' – guaranteed to send any self-respecting child running the opposite direction for fear of being associated with you by their peers.
5. Bears can sleep for more than 210 days in a row. Be like bears.
Don't be surprised if they growl at you on their way back to bed.
6. What are you, a dolphin?
Dolphins never sleep. Not completely, anyway. They do something called unihemispheric sleep. (Can we please take a moment to pity dolphin parents?)
7. Go to sleep now or your brother will grow taller than you
I read an article that said that sleep in children is critical for growth and learning. I'm choosing to extrapolate wildly and turn my sons' strong competitive streaks against themselves. Because that's what effective parenting is all about, right? Building on your child's strengths.
^ This article does not contain any actual parenting advice, it's just meant to make you laugh. Please don't actually tell your child they will die in 11 days. That would be bad.
^^ Also throwing shoes at children is bad. Just saying.

Budgets are all about choices. Choosing how billions of dollars of revenue should be allocated amongst the thousands of interests competing for those dollars. Choosing when to balance the books and when to determine that deficit financing is more prudent. Choosing how a government wishes to be defined by the electorate. These are choices that all Prime Ministers and Finance Ministers face when putting the finishing touches on a budget. The choices made by Prime Minister Harper and Finance Minister Flaherty are revealed today in Budget 2014.
Choosing to deliver a budget when Charles Hamelin, Alex Bilodeau, Dara Howell and the Dufour-Lapointe sisters are owning the podium and when Canada's women's and men's Olympic hockey teams are grabbing the attention of millions more Canadians speaks volumes about the government's intentions. Today's Budget carefully leaves choices open down the road, to when it really counts. Budget 2014 is all about setting the table for the critical pre-election budget in 2015.
The Conservative government's core governing theme has consistently been that they are the best economic managers on offer in Ottawa. It is absolutely vital to their 2015 re-election strategy that they rid themselves of the last vestiges of the severe economic downturn of 2008-09 and return the federal government's books to the black. Budget 2014 confirms that they are firmly on track to achieving this overriding political objective. In fact, if the budget contingency fund of $3 Billion is excluded, the budget is for all intents and purposes balanced. Moving steadfastly toward a balanced budget has largely been a multi-year exercise in federal program expenditure freezes and staff reductions. Transfers to individuals and to other levels of government have been protected. Today's budget reaffirms this approach to managing the federal government's financial affairs.
Today's Budget also lays groundwork for what is likely to be a major battleground in the 2015 election – winning the hearts and minds of Canada's middle class. All three major federal parties will be aiming their policy initiatives largely at this somewhat mushy, ill-defined segment of Canada that constitutes the middle class. The parties will not try to define what they mean by "middle class", leaving it to Canadians to self-identify because only they really know who they are.
The Family Tax Cut, promised in the Conservative Party's 2011 election platform, which will permit income sharing for couples with dependent children under 18 years old, did not make its way into today's Budget because a balanced budget was not delivered today. There can be little doubt, however, that this income-splitting measure will be front and centre in Budget 2015 and that it will prove to be popular with many Canadians.
Making their way into Budget 2014 are a continuation of the pro-consumer measures foreshadowed in the government's 2013 Speech from the Throne.
Today's Budget includes:
Budget 2014 includes several measures aimed at critical sectors of the Canadian economy:
The government reiterated its support for agriculture highlighting the 2013 Growing Forward program that has made $3 billion available over five years for investments in innovation, competitiveness and market development. With a nod to beekeepers, Budget 2014 proposes to extend tax deferral measures that are available to other farmers when struck by extreme weather conditions.
Budget 2014 will introduce amendments to the Hazardous Products Act and other statutes to align implementation of common classification and labelling requirements for workplace hazardous chemicals. This measure will facilitate international trade, reduce costs to businesses and enhance worker health and safety through improved and consistent hazard identification. Affected companies will be concerned about an appropriate transition period to be compliant with Materiel Safety Data Sheets and product labelling under either the current Controlled Products Regulations or the future Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR) following the anticipated June 1, 2015, coming into force date for the new HPR. Industry will also be concerned about any potential weakening of risk-based regulation of chemicals.
Following the announcement by Ministers Finley and Nicholson last week, Budget 2014 highlighted the key points from the new Defence Procurement Strategy. The most critical new announcement today is the following:
To ensure that funding is available when needed for planned procurements, the Government is moving $3.1 billion in National Defence funding for major capital procurements from the 2013-14 to 2016-17 period to future years in which key purchases will be made.
Given that defence specific inflation is anywhere between 7% and 11% per year, we can expect these funds to lose purchasing power.
Transport Minister Lisa Raitt`s recent Canadian Club speech served as a precursor to developments in the transportation of energy resources: prevention, preparedness, and response. Budget 2014 commits to responding to reviews conducted by the National Energy Board, the Tanker Safety Expert Panel, and the Special Representative West Coast Energy Infrastructure. Of all resource sectors, Mining appears to have done particularly well, with tax credits for exploration. Moreover, assistance to offshore oil and gas developments may come in the form of tariff elimination.
The banking sector gets some close scrutiny as part of the consumer protection measures identified above. In addition, the government will be developing a comprehensive framework for the oversight of the Canadian payments system and will consult on the oversight of retail payments systems. The government also proposes to improve and clarify the federal regime for credit unions and is establishing a P&C demutualization framework that will provide for an orderly and transparent process that ensures policyholders are treated fairly and equitably.
Encouraging foreign Investment continues to be of importance for the government as Budget 2014 promotes Canada`s average Annual Growth in FDI since 2009 as topping all G-7 countries. Harmonizing the Intellectual Property regime and pursuing free trade deals are highlighted as means to continue making Canada attractive to Foreign Investors.
The increase of internet into rural communities was widely reported in advance of the Minister Flaherty tabling EAP 2014. However, while such consumer-centric announcements were widely discussed, a central component of the Government`s information and technology plan surrounds modernizing intellectual property regimes with international norms.
The automotive industry is singled out for additional support through the existing Automotive Innovation Fund. An additional $500 million over two years will be allocated to this fund to support new strategic research and development projects and long-term investments.
While most of the attention in Budget 2014 is aimed at continuing the New Building Canada Plan committed to in 2013, particular attention has been paid on increasing P3s, as well as specific new funding attached to the Windsor-Detroit International Crossing and a new bridge in Montreal to cross the St Lawrence River.
Stay the course. Minimalist. Low-bridge. Ho-hum. Budget 2014 will largely be characterized in this fashion in the barrage of media coverage over the next 24 hours. This does not mean, however, that nothing happened today. Perhaps little will change in economic terms as a result of today's budget. But Budget 2014 is far more than an accounting of Canada's fiscal and economic condition – it is also a political statement. The government was not prepared to announce a balanced budget today. Instead, the table is being set for Budget 2015 – the Election Budget.

NEVERTHRONERS! To your #got bunkers! This is going to be a rough one!
You know, there are a lot of things I can do in this world. I can assemble a brand new computer and have it on the network about ten minutes after UPS delivers it. I can run two companies from the same desk. I do a fair job at being a writer. There is one place I fall flat on my face though.
I'm lucky if I can remember where the gas goes, let alone doing anything technical. So imagine my fun filled week when my main car, a 1999 Chevy Tahoe, had it's battery die on me.
Now, I am sure you are saying, "Duh, Sean! Just get some jumper cables and jump it!" I tried that. I suck at jumping a car and I never got it started.
Next up was the battery charger. A-ha! After two hours of running it on the charger, I got it started!
Now, two days later, it is sitting at work… dead again. I have NO clue what's wrong with it, and no clue why the battery died again. And to make life more fun, it has to make a run to the east coast starting on Tuesday.
I hate cars.

The leaders of Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine have agreed a deal to end fighting in eastern Ukraine, participants at the summit talks said today (12 February). The 17-hour marathon talks delayed the EU summit which is expected to begin at 3 PM in Brussels.
The deal reached after all-night negotiations in the Belarussian capital Minsk included a ceasefire that would come into effect on 15 February, followed by the withdrawal of heavy weapons.
The Kremlin website published the text of the agreement in Russian.
The Minsk summit agreement offered hope for eastern Ukraine, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman said.
"After 17 hours, negotiations in Minsk have finished: ceasefire from 15 February at zero hours, then withdrawal of heavy weapons. Therein lies hope," Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert said on Twitter.
"We have managed to agree on the main issues," Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
In a press conference the transcript of which was published on the Kremlin website, Putin says that one of the outstanding issues is that the "representatives of the Donetsk and Lugansk peoples' republics" say their forces have encircled 6.000 to 8.000 Ukrainian troops, and that they expect them to surrender without violence.
The four leaders had committed to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, according to a joint declaration distributed by the Kremlin.
"The main thing which has been achieved is that from Saturday into Sunday there should be declared without any conditions at all, a general ceasefire," Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko told journalists.
French President François Hollande said there was still much work to be done on the Ukraine crisis, but the agreement was a real chance to ameliorate the situation.
He said pro-Russian separatists, who had at one point appeared to reject the deal, had signed up to it.
Merkel and Hollande joined Poroshenko and Putin for a marathon negotiating session that began early on Wednesday evening and continued into Thursday morning.
The summit discussions came as pro-Moscow separatists tightened the pressure on Kyiv by launching some of the war's worst fighting on Wednesday, killing 19 Ukrainian soldiers in assaults near the railway town of Debaltseve.
As the fighting escalated, Washington has begun openly talking of arming Ukraine to defend itself from "Russian aggression", raising the prospect of a proxy war in the heart of Europe between Cold War foes.
The outcome of the Minsk talks is expected to influence discussions at an EU summit in Brussels on Thursday, when sanctions against Moscow will be on the agenda. A deal would likely mean a softer line towards Moscow.
Merkel and Hollande were expected to arrive late for the Brussels meeting but would urge the European Union to support the Minsk deal.
Fund bailout
The talks took place as an International Monetary Fund mission agreed a bailout to save Ukraine from bankruptcy.
The Fund provisionally agreed a $17.5 billion facility with Ukraine, part of a $40 billion funding package, IMF managing director Christine Lagarde said [read more].
Kyiv and NATO accuse Russia of supplying separatists with men and weapons. Moscow denies it is involved in fighting for territory Putin calls "New Russia".
As the French and German leaders peace initiative was announced, pro-Russian rebels appeared determined to drive home their advantage ahead of a deal.
Armoured columns of Russian-speaking soldiers with no insignia have been advancing for days around Debaltseve, which has seen heavy fighting in recent days.
On the Russian side of the border, Moscow has begun military exercises in 12 regions involving more than 30 missile regiments, RIA news agency reported on Thursday, citing a Defence Ministry official.
The United States has been openly discussing arming the Ukrainian government, a move that is opposed by European allies who say it would escalate the conflict while falling far short of giving Kyiv the firepower needed to win.
President Barack Obama says he has yet to make up his mind on the question of sending weapons. He spoke by phone to Putin on Tuesday, and the White House said he warned the Russian leader that the costs would rise if Moscow kept aiding the separatists.
ALDE Group leader, Guy Verhofstadt, said:"The news from Minsk are a sign of fragile hope – which must not be destroyed in the next three days until the ceasefire enters into force.The EU needs to stay focused on the implementation of the plan, in particular on the enforcement of a swift withdrawal of heavy weapons and a monitoring of the Russian-Ukrainian border. We need to stay committed to ensure that the road from Minsk does not become a frozen conflict in Ukraine."
Commenting on the agreement the president of the Socialists and Democrats Group in the European Parliament, Gianni Pittella said:"The peace deal reached in Minsk represents probably the only hope we have for a comprehensive and lasting agreement based on respect for Ukrainian territorial integrity and respect for Russian minorities in Ukraine's eastern regions.
"Every day of peace in the midst of war, death and violence is a great success. This confirms that the diplomatic way is the only way to reach a solid peace deal.
"Now all forces on the ground should stick to this agreement. Should someone breach the ceasefire to boycott the agreement, they will have to face their responsibility in front of the whole world, with unpredictable consequences."
Reinhard Bütikofer, Co-Chair of the European Green Party, said: "Experience teaches us that it is not easy to be optimistic, just because an agreement between the warring sides has been signed. It has always taken less time to break agreements and render them empty than to achieve them. Still, we do welcome the new ceasefire agreement for Eastern Ukraine. We hope it will take hold more firmly than former ones. The agreement puts a heavy burden on the Ukrainian government, which is all the more a reason to strengthen European solidarity with the Ukrainian fight for freedom and sovereignty. The ceasefire agreement must be taken as an opportunity to focus more efforts on Ukrainian reforms, on actively pushing back against corruption, bad governance and to help rebuild the Ukrainian economy. This is of even higher strategic importance than the military side of the conflict, and therefore the West must not hesitate investing heavily into this effort.
"From the Russian side we expect them to stick to the obligations, which they have accepted under the ceasefire agreement. President Putin is personally responsible for stopping the ongoing aggression against Ukraine.
"If the ceasefire holds as we hope, this will just be a first tiny step. But maybe there is indeed now a distant silver lining on the horizon."
GUE/NGL President Gabi Zimmer has commented on today's Ukraine ceasefire agreement. "The ceasefire now adopted in Ukraine finally brings the escalation of violence of recent months to an end. It is both a unique opportunity and a duty on the parties involved to find a peaceful political solution," she said. "All parties to the agreement must first ensure that heavy weapons are removed from the region and that people are immediately supplied with urgent humanitarian assistance.
"All parties have a duty to implement the agreed steps quickly and consistently. The leaders who were involved in the successful negotiations on the agreement in Minsk have a direct responsibility for continuing the peace process; the now adopted supervisory mechanism is an important common step towards this goal."
MEP Helmut Scholz, GUE/NGL rapporteur on Ukraine, added: "The war and its accompanying rhetoric of recent months have dominated public discourse - this means important debates on the country's social division, the unbroken power of corrupt oligarchic clans, and people's desire to live autonomously in all regions of the country have been side-lined. For Ukraine there will now hopefully be a window of opportunity to develop cooperative and rational relations with all neighbours. The economic insanity of cutting off traditional economic relations should be stopped quickly."

On October 18, 2011, Oracle announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire Endeca, a leading provider of unstructured data management, web commerce and business intelligence solutions (see our original blog post here). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close before the end of t his year. Here's the original press release.
Our Thoughts
Most everyone is familiar with structured data consisting of data that is well organized and comes from ERP systems, custom solutions etc. and generally is organized in a manner which allows that data to be analyzed and reported from. Lesser known, but of increasing importance, is unstructured data. Unstructured data consists of social media information from platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs etc. where users or consumers can post commentary using freeform text. Comments are not necessarily organized. This unstructured text can extend to consumer commentary on product websites, blogs or emails. The rise of social media and the real-time web is making unstructured text more and more critical for companies to be able to analyze.
For example, through the various social media mechanisms mentioned, using powerful unstructured text BI tools such as Endeca, companies can quickly evaluate the unstructured text and begin to make business decisions or combine the unstructured text with structured data and have actionable information. A quick example: if customers comment on a website regarding their experience with a particular product, it normally would take an employee or employees to read the responses and evaluate the consumer sentiment. It may take a significant amount of time to evaluate the sentiment negating the potential value of that data. In today's ever changing, quick-paced social media environment, it's more important than ever to stay on top and have the ability to react quickly to fixing a negative experience or promoting a positive one. Understanding whether a consumer had a positive or negative experience proves invaluable for marketing, sales and corrective actions to be made in a very short timeframe.
Take all of this a step farther, when Oracle can combine unstructured data and structured data under the OBIEE platform, companies will have exceptional tools to help make truly informed business decisions based upon quickly changing data.
Fantasy? So far, maybe a bit. In the short term, smart companies will be investing in ways to do exactly this.

The combination of acupuncture, muscular skeletal medicine and Aboriginal art might have been a world first.
But it wasn't to be.
Dr Diane Mossenson, co-founder of Indigenart, decided that medicine had to give way to her growing, and ultimately consuming, passion for Aboriginal art. 'At the time of establishing Indigenart in 1993, there was no West Australian gallery uniquely and exclusively dedicated to serious Aboriginal art that wasn't also an outlet for tourist mementos and gifts,' she said. 'Yet, here were these brilliant artists producing wonderful paintings, sculptures and artefacts inspired by their environment, history and culture. In many cases they were, perhaps for the first time, creating and presenting work to the outside world that stemmed directly from their deeply spiritual beliefs,' she recalls.
'I was inspired. The work embraced a wide range of media - paintings, ceramics, weaving, sculptures and jewellery'. 'The vision was to exhibit and represent only the finest authentic Aboriginal art. Thus began hugely rewarding relationships with more than twenty different Aboriginal communities including hundreds of central desert and Arnhem Land artists.' 'Then, I discovered that some artists were producing sophisticated, contemporary work born out of their perceptions of the world as they saw it today,' she said. 'It was no less stunning than some of their more traditional work.'
In addition to its highly acclaimed collection and programme of exhibitions, Indigenart-Mossenson Galleries soon developed a national and international reputation in the art world and amongst serious collectors for its integrity. Headquartered at its Hay Street Gallery in Subiaco, Perth, Indigenart has also established galleries in Fremantle, Western Australia and Collingwood, Victoria. Diane manages the galleries on a day to day basis with her daughter Naomi.

Α.π. 1210.] CIIAROns AGAINST ΤΗΚ KING. ζω
pope said, " Many emperors and princes, and even French kings, an1 reported by history to have slain many innocent persons, yet wc do not read that any one of these was condemned to death ; and when Arthur was imprisoned at Mirchcnu, not as au innocent person, but as being guilt v. and a traitor to his lord and uncle, to whom ho had done homage and sworn allegiance, he could lawfully he condemned to the most disgraceful death without anv trial.
The second charge made by the above against king John.
The second charge against the king was, that, though often Mimmtned, he did not appear in person to take hi.s trial, and sent no one to answer for him in the court of France. To this charge the pope replied, that, if the king of Kngland had been so contumacious as not to appear or send when summoned, no one ought or could be punished with death on account of contnmaciousness ; therefore the barons of l-Yance could not condemn him to death, but could punish hiin in another way, namely, by depriving him of his fee. The messengers to tliis mad*' answer, ·· It is the
enfi» ami in peace.' The bishop then said/ And may he return ! my lord.' The king replied, ' Ye s if the judgments of his peers alh-wa of it.' And when all the messengers licked of him that John might have safe conduct tn and from his court, Philip became enraged, and replied with his usual o;ith, ' lly the saints of France, not unless by the judgment of hi* peers*,1 The hishop then spoke of the dangers which might happen through h!s going to the French king's court, and said, * My lord kin}*, the duke of Normandy could not come to your court unless the king of Kngland also came, since the duke and the king arc the same person, and this the harons of England would not allow, even though the king himself wished tu come ; for there would be imminent danger, as you know, of his being made prisoner or being killed.' To this the king replied, 'And what »-f this, my lord hi.shop Ï It is well known that the duke of Normandy, who is my tenant, gaimd possession of Kngland by force, and if am thing accrues to a subject, docs the superior lord thereby lose his rights I Nut so.' The messenger then being unable to make any reasonable reply to this, returned to the king of Kngland, and told him nil that had passai. The king, however, would not trust to chance, or to the judgment "f the French, who did not like him ; especially as he feared that he would be accused of the shameful murder of Arthur, as says Horace, * All the foot-marks led to the lion's cave, but none led back again.' The Fri-neh nobles, however, proceeded to trial, which they ought not to have dine by rights; and by their judgment John was condemned when alèsent, though he would have appeared if he could. Wherefore, as king John waa condemned by les civnii^s, he was not properly condemned.

Fascinating discussion. Were government righteous and protected it's citizens we would not need guns. We live in a 'war zone' created by weak government. Criminals don't fear the law. Proof? Our jails are brimming over. If the authorities and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary were armed and trained, many lives would probably have been saved (I don't own a gun.) Our 'leaders' don't have the answers. As a victim of 'The 1991 Crown Heights Pogrom' (I was hit by a brick.) I can testify that one CANNOT trust the government. Also, all the '911 Tapes' were erased to hide all the calls for help, in 'The Big Apple.' Want the BEST answer to ALL our problems? Let us ask ourselves: 'Who are we?' 'Why are we here?'

A Girl Trapped in a Mansion
A Mysterious Old Woman
The Boy Who Will Change Everything
It's day 1 of the Rapunzel Untangled blog tour! I'd like to thank Books for Kids and Coffee, Books and Me for being the first two stops on the tour that runs from now until the 24th. Be sure to stop by their blogs to enter to win a Nook, an MP3 player, a copy of Rapunzel Untangled, or any of the other prizes!
Here's some of what Dena at Books for Kids had to say about Rapunzel Untangled:
Rapunzel Untangled has joined my list of favorite teen reads for the year. . . One of the enjoyable aspects of this story was that it takes place in the present day. . . I enjoyed the relationship between Rapunzel and Fane, and I loved that while they were instantly attracted to one another, it took time for their relationship to develop into something more than friendship. The content was perfectly clean, and I really appreciate that in a young adult novel.
Here's some of what Jenna at Coffee, Books & Me had to say about Rapunzel Untangled:
If you love love stories and fairy tales, well, this is Rapunzel's modern version, and Cindy Bennett caught the perfect tone and taste of the original story but blended it greatly with our modern setting. . . I love that I can see the original Rapunzel story in the novel yet it was also able to stand up on its own, with its own twist and additional wicked evil antagonists. . . Rapunzel Untangled is a definite must-read charmer for all fairytale and YA contemporary fans.
Available February 12, 2013, you can pre-order your copy of Rapunzel Untangled here:

In a recent California truck accident case a semi truck pulled unexpectedly from a stop sign striking a motorcyclist and killing him. The motorcycle rider was survived by four children. The four children were adults and so therefore id not rely upon the deceased for support.
In wrongful death cases of this nature, where liability may not be in dispute, and is relatively clear, the valuation mainly focuses on the value placed on the loss of life. In loss of life cases, not only is the loss of care love of society evaluated, but also loss of earnings and support.
The surviving family sued the driver alleging that he had failed to keep a proper lookout before pulling from the stop sign. The case settled for $1.75 million paid before trial based upon the damages and loss of consortium of the family.
Wrongful death claims never fully compensates the family for the loss of their loved one. In this case, there was at least an attempt at Justice and a conclusion by the family that the settlement was satisfactory, avoiding the hardship of trial.
A competent California truck accident lawyer understands the implications of wrongful death our family who may not even be relying upon their deceased father for support. This case demonstrates not only the need to hire a California truck accident lawyer, but also a lawyer that understands wrongful death valuation and can successfully obtain compensation for the family.
If you have been a victim of a truck negligently operated truck truck or have suffered the wrongful death of a loved one because of such negligent conduct, please seek out a competent California truck accident lawyer. You're always welcome to call us for a free consultation at 1-888-752-7474.

News reports that deem a gender gap in polling noteworthy -- with women as more Democratic and men as more Republican -- are falling into a trap described by a journalistic cliché: They're reporting when a dog bites a man.
That's because it would be far more unusual -- akin to a man biting a dog -- for there not to be a gender gap in a federal statewide race.
First, as most readers surely know, there's been a noticeable gender gap in presidential voting for the last 30 years. Chart 1 shows how men and women have voted going back to 1972, when the national exit poll started. Remarkably, men and women voted for Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford in precisely the same proportions in 1976. The real gender gap started in 1980, when men preferred Ronald Reagan to a much greater extent than did women. Since then, women have regularly voted 6-10% more Democratic than men -- or if you prefer, men have voted 6-10% more Republican than women.
Chart 1: Gender gap in U.S. presidential elections, 1972-2012
What may not be so well known is how persistent this gender gap is in individual state-level presidential battles and also in Senate contests.
We went back and looked at hundreds of exit polls since 2004 in presidential and Senate races and found that 87.5% of statewide Senate and presidential races featured a clear gender gap, which on account of poll error we are defining as the Democratic candidate doing at least three net percentage points better with women than with men.
Of 273 state-level presidential and Senate polls we analyzed from 2004 through 2012, 239 showed the Democratic candidate doing significantly better among women than men. Another 27 had no gender gap, falling within plus-or-minus three net points. Then there were only seven where the Republican candidate actually did significantly better with women than they did with men.
Those seven contests were: George W. Bush in Missouri, Montana and Texas (2004 presidential); John McCain in Nebraska (2008 presidential); Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) in her 2006 reelection; Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) in his 2006 reelection; and Cynthia Thielen (R-HI), who otherwise was trounced by Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-HI) in his 2006 reelection.
Snowe, who retired in 2012, is a good example of a moderate female Republican who "broke" the traditional gender gap we've seen in recent American politics.
The Pine Tree State has been reliably Democratic in presidential races from 2004 through 2012, and there is a wide gulf in the political preferences of men and women in Maine presidential voting. Over the past three elections, Democratic presidential candidates won Maine's men by only three points, while they won Maine's women by 25 points. There was not much of a gender gap in the Senate races we measured: Snowe did four points better among women than men in 2006 1, and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), another moderate Republican, did only eight points worse with women than men in 2008 2. (Collins' 2008 contest was also more competitive than Snowe's in 2006, although both won comfortably.)
A full breakdown of the average gender gap we found in all 50 states from 2004 through 2012 is shown in Chart 2.
Just to be clear about how we calculated this chart, let's look at Ohio's presidential results. From 2004 to 2012 (three races), the Democratic nominees won women by an average of 6.3 percentage points. Meanwhile, they lost men by an average of 3.0 points. That's a 9.3-point "gender gap," which is what we reported in the "gap" column. States are ordered by the size of their average gender gap in presidential elections.
Chart 2: Average gender gaps in presidential and Senate voting by state, 2004-2012
Notes: Click on the chart for a PDF version. A longer note about which Senate exit polls were included in this chart is printed at the end of this story. Senate elections won by independents were excluded from our averages. *Indicates states where there was no exit poll for 2012.
Source: Exit polls cited in this study are from CNN.com for 2004 3, 2006 4, 2008 5, 2010 6 and 2012 7.
As is shown in Chart 2, there's only one state -- Nebraska -- where men were consistently more Democratic than women in presidential races. In Senate races, Utah is the only state where men were more Democratic than women. Again, women almost always vote more Democratic than men.
It's worth noting that there is some relationship between each state's gender gap and how it voted in the 2012 presidential election: Running a correlation analysis, we found that r = .41. If one examines Chart 1, this makes some sense: The four states with the largest gender gaps all voted strongly Democratic in 2012 while the seven states with the smallest gaps were all strongly Republican. Still, the results in states such as Kansas and Hawaii run counter to this pattern. With a small sample size in the number of presidential exit polls per state (two or three), it would be unwise to make any bold claims about what this might mean; more long-term analysis is needed.
Also, let's remember that exit polls, just like pre-election polls, are an imperfect tool. While we believe they are generally fairly accurate, they have flaws, too. Still, the exit polling evidence of a consistent gender gap in statewide federal races is overwhelming.
We already mentioned Maine's big gender gap in presidential elections; on the other side of the presidential spectrum is Alaska, which has a major gender gap but is still reliably Republican because women there continue to vote for the GOP, albeit in lower percentages than men. However, women supported Tony Knowles (D) in his unsuccessful 2004 Senate contest 8 against Lisa Murkowski (R), and a 30-point gap between men and women was enough to power Mark Begich (D) to a victory over Last Frontier legend Ted Stevens (R) in a 2008 Senate race 9. Stevens won men by 16, while Begich won women by 14 (a 30-point gender gap, bigger than the average gap found in any of the 50 states' Senate or presidential contests over the past decade).
Republicans frequently complain that reporting on the gender gap typically focuses on Republican deficits with women and not necessarily Democratic deficits with men. All things being equal, though, one would rather do better with women than men in American politics (or at least in presidential and Senate races). That's because women often make up more of the electorate -- 2012 exit polls showed a national electorate that was 53% women and 47% men. (Women make up 50.8% of the national population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, so women are apparently more likely to register and vote.)
A good example of how the greater proportion of women in the electorate can swing an election is demonstrated nicely in Virginia's 2006 Senate race: Jim Webb (D) won women 55%-45%, and George Allen (R) won men 55%-45%. According to the exit poll 10, women made up 51% of that year's Senate electorate. Hence, Webb won by four tenths of a percentage point.
In presidential races, women almost always make up a larger percentage of the electorate than men. Of the 131 presidential exit polls we studied, women outnumbered men in 120 of them. Instances of electorates with an equal number of men and women, or even more men than women, are slightly more common in midterm years when turnouts are lower. But even then, women still make up the majority of voters in most contests.
The gender gap also extends to House races. While we don't have individual exit polls for congressional districts, the national exit poll every two years reports on the different House preferences for men and women:
Chart 3: Gender gap in U.S. House of Representatives voting, 2004-2012
Why do women and men vote differently? Personal factors (such as income and family circumstances) are part of the equation, but women also have different policy preferences than men on many issues. Rutgers' Center for American Women and Politics summed 11 it up in a 2012 polling report:
A gender gap is apparent in the way women and men respond to a variety of contemporary issues. Among many issues [where] gender gaps have been observed, recent polls have found that, compared with men, women are:
Those positions, of course, generally align with the Democratic Party, which helps explain why women are more Democratic, and men are more Republican.
The gender gap between men and women is an important reality in American politics, one that we've had for at least the past 30 years.
Just because it has existed in recent elections doesn't mean that it always will. But for the time being, reporters and analysts of American politics should remember this when they look at polls: It's not news when there is a gender gap; rather, it's news when there isn't.
-- U.Va. Center for Politics intern Dahler Battle assisted us immensely in compiling this information.
Some Senate results were not included because of a lack of exit polling and because of independent candidates (e.g. Maine in 2012). What follows is the full list of the Senate exit polls that make up the averages in Chart 2: Alabama: 2004, 2008; Alaska: 2004, 2008; Arizona: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; Arkansas: 2004, 2010; California: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; Colorado: 2004, 2008, 2010; Connecticut: 2004, 2010, 2012; Delaware: 2008, 2010; Florida: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; Georgia: 2004, 2008; Hawaii: 2004, 2006, 2010; Idaho: 2008; Illinois: 2004, 2008, 2010; Indiana: 2004, 2010, 2012; Iowa: 2004, 2008, 2010; Kansas: 2004, 2008; Kentucky: 2004, 2008, 2010; Louisiana: 2004, 2008, 2010; Maine: 2006, 2008; Maryland: 2004, 2006, 2012; Massachusetts: 2006, 2008, 2012; Michigan: 2006, 2008, 2012; Minnesota: 2006, 2008, 2012; Mississippi: 2008, 2008(s), 2012; Missouri: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; Montana: 2006, 2008, 2012; Nebraska: 2006, 2008; Nevada: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; New Hampshire: 2004, 2008, 2010; New Jersey: 2006, 2008, 2012; New Mexico: 2006, 2008, 2012; New York: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2010(s), 2012; North Carolina: 2004, 2008; North Dakota: 2004, 2006; Ohio: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; Oklahoma: 2004, 2008; Oregon: 2004, 2008, 2010; Pennsylvania: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; Rhode Island: 2006, 2008; South Carolina: 2004, 2008, 2010; South Dakota: 2004, 2008; Tennessee: 2006, 2008; Texas: 2006, 2008; Utah: 2004, 2006; Vermont: 2004, 2010; Virginia: 2006, 2008, 2012; Washington: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; West Virginia: 2006, 2008, 2010; Wisconsin: 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012; Wyoming: 2006, 2008, 2008(s).

The good news is that that is simply not true. Here's what you can do to save the situation:
Repeat Matric
Right now it doesn't feel like an attractive option going back to school and sitting in class with last year's Grade 11s. Everyone will know you have failed. But if it means getting your Matric the second time around, it is worth it. Maybe consider going to another school, or even doing evening classes? Not all schools re-accept Matrics who have failed – sometimes the classes are just full. The Education department came be contacted on 0800 202 933 for more information.
Rewrite the exams
You can do that if you failed no more than two subjects, if you were ill, and have a medical certificate, didn't get the exemption you needed, or had a personal problem such as a death in the family. There is something called the Second Chance Matric Programme, which is being piloted in 2016. It will offer the following subjects: Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Geography, Business Studies and Economics. Read more about this programme, where it will be offered, and how to register for it right here.
Find a job
This is not easy – our unemployment statistics are high and many other people are also looking for employment. Watch the newspapers, notice boards at community centres, and tell everyone you know you are looking for work – any work. Take whatever comes your way and do it as well as you can. It might lead to other things, and even if the pay is low, it is still more than you would have earned sitting at home doing nothing. Make sure you have a CV in case anyone asks for it.
Go and offer your services free of charge at a charity or a business in the area, so that you don't have to spend money on travelling. This will give you working experience, and might make it easier to find other work down the line. If you work hard, they might think of you if any work opportunities there do come up. Sitting at home doing nothing is demoralising and depressing, and will not lead to anything constructive.
Don't see this as the end of the road. Many people who have gone on to be very successful in their lives have failed somewhere along the way. The point is that they tried again. Don't give up hope – you are still young and anything can happen in your life. If your school has a counsellor, it might be an idea to make an appointment to discuss your options.
Start your own business
Right, you have no capital, so you will have to start small with something such as washing cars, or babysitting, or running errands for people, doing shopping for others, or even standing in queues for people who don't have the time to do it themselves. You are young, and you have energy – use this to your own advantage.
Help at home
Maybe you can earn your keep, if all else fails, by taking over household tasks such as yard cleaning, babysitting, doing the washing, cleaning and cooking. This is the least you can do if others are supporting you, and at least it is constructive. But never stop looking for opportunities outside the home. You will eventually need your own income.

JONESBORO (3/12/08) The 2008 Arkansas State football schedule is highlighted by three home games slated for September, including a marquee game against Southern Mississippi, as well as road games against long-time rival Memphis and tradition-rich Texas A&M and Alabama.
ASU's schedule features five home games, seven games against teams that finished .500 or better in 2007 and five contests against teams that went to a bowl game last season.
Arkansas State opens its 2008 campaign on the road against Texas A&M on Aug. 30, playing the Aggies for the second time under head coach Steve Roberts. ASU and Texas A&M also met in 2003 at Kyle Field in the third meeting ever between the two schools.
ASU will host Texas Southern in its home opener Sept. 6. The Texas Southern contest will mark the first of three consecutive home games for ASU, which will play Southern Mississippi a week later on Sept. 13 before hosting Middle Tennessee on Sept. 20 in its homecoming game.
ASU will catch Southern Mississippi for the third time in the last four years, also facing the Golden Eagles in the 2007 regular-season finale and in the 2005 New Orleans Bowl. ASU will open its seven-game league schedule with the Blue Raiders, playing its first Sun Belt Conference game on the earliest date in school history.
"Obviously, this will be a challenging schedule, but we are excited about the opportunities those challenges present," said Roberts. "There is great regional appeal in our schedule with games against Texas A&M, Southern Miss, Memphis and teams from within our conference. We look forward to this year's schedule and competing."
Following its three-game home stand, its longest since 2002, ASU will play its fifth game at Memphis Sept. 27 as part of a four-year deal with the school that brings the Tigers back to Jonesboro again in 2011. ASU won the last two meetings in the series, winning at Memphis in 2006 on a deep pass as time expired and again last season at Indian Stadium when it overcame a 25-point halftime deficit.
After its first open week, Arkansas State will host Louisiana-Monroe on Oct. 11 in its second of three Sun Belt Conference home games during the season. ASU will travel to Louisiana-Lafayette for an Oct. 18 contest, followed by its second open date Oct. 25.
While ASU will play Alabama on Nov. 1 in Bryant-Denny Stadium, which seats 92,138, for the first time ever, it actually played Alabama once before. The Indians and Crimson Tide met Oct. 2, 1982, but played at Birmingham's Legion Field in a game that Alabama won 34-7.
The Alabama game has the potential to draw the second largest crowd to ever watch an ASU football game, just behind the crowd of 102,368 on hand for the Indians' game at Tennessee in 2007. Alabama has sold out every home football game since the 1988 season. The game will mark the third consecutive year ASU has played an SEC opponent, also catching the Volunteers in 2007 and Auburn in 2006. It will also be ASU's 49th all-time meeting with a current member of the Southeastern Conference.
ASU's final four games will all be against Sun Belt opponents, starting with a trip to Miami to face Florida International on Nov. 8. ASU defeated FIU 31-6 in its only road game ever played against FIU, but will face the Golden Panthers at their new on-campus stadium in 2008. ASU's third and final open date will arrive the week after the FIU game.
As part of its annual "Senior Night", ASU will play its final home game Nov. 22 against defending Sun Belt Conference and New Orleans Bowl champion Florida Atlantic. ASU closes out its regular season with two road games, facing North Texas on Nov. 29 and Troy on Dec. 6.
