What should my major be? Dental schools do not have a preference for any specific majors. Therefore, you may major in almost anything.
You should consider a major that you will enjoy, in which you will perform well, or that might serve as a basis for graduate work or for employment in the event you choose not to apply, or you are not admitted, to dental school.
Admission committees expect variety in an educational program, including a significant number of humanities and social and behavioral science courses, if you choose a major in a science. Many applicants majoring in non-science areas are successful applicants to the Indiana University School of Medicine or Dentistry as well as to other medical and dental schools.
All applicants must meet the schools' specific requirements, which generally include a minimum of eight semesters of basic science regardless of major.
Is there a preference for a bachelor of science or bachelor of arts degree?No. Each applicant's record is evaluated on an individual basis. Both degrees are acceptable for predental programs. A dental school admissions committee would expect an applicant to do well with either degree. Committees look at the quality of the transcript rather than the name of the degree.
Should I enroll in the Honors College?If it interests you, yes. Admission committees look at the level of difficulty of an applicant's course work. In many instances, the greater depth and breadth of honors programs/courses are reflected in a greater knowledge of the subject area in question. Classes are often smaller, and classmates are similarly motivated achievers. Many successful medical school applicants have enrolled in the Honors College; however, many successful applicants have completed rigorous curricula that did not include honors courses.
What are the minimum admission requirements for medical schools?Most medical schools require one year each of general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, and physics. Dental school requirements are similar but vary somewhat particularly from school to school.
All the courses you complete must have a laboratory section. Admission committees of some schools also may require or recommend college mathematics through calculus. You should consult Medical School Admission Requirements, published by the Association of American Medical Colleges, for the specific requirements and recommended courses for each school.
Likewise, you should consult the Official Guide to Dental Schools for specific requirements for the different dental schools.
These resources are available online or in the pre-health professional advisor's office in Cooper Science Building, CL 232.
If you are interested in a particular school, you should learn as much about that school as possible as early as you can.
Do medical schools require a foreign language for admission?Most medical and dental schools do not.
What is so difficult about majoring in predental?For many freshmen acquiring the study skills and self-discipline required to attain academic excellence can be a, if not the, most difficult task upon entering college. Many freshmen have been very successful in high school and have been accustomed to being a "star," sometimes without having developed systematic study habits.
The success of your academic transition to Ball State University depends not only on ability but also upon motivation, organization, and the learned skills of studying effectively. Some students will initially be discouraged and must have the determination to learn how to learn.
The demands of the predental curricula are rigorous because admittance into medical and dental schools is competitive and requires a solid, specific academic foundation. As a predental major, you may have to work harder than some other students who are not aiming for competitive admission graduate programs.
Is participation in extracurricular activities important or helpful to being accepted to dental school?In addition to highly successful academic achievement, medical and dental school admissions committees consider many other traits, including motivation, evidence of humanism, responsibility, maturity, leadership, breadth of interests, and ability to manage multiple tasks. However, a list of organization memberships means little to experienced admissions committees. They will want to know what you have contributed to the organizations that you have listed.
Many positive traits or attributes may be developed in activities beyond the classroom, so students who plan on applying to medical or dental school are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities but not to substitute activities for academic excellence.
Participating in volunteer and community work or activities related to social concerns or health issues, such as adult day care centers, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Community Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity, and Hospice, may give you a better idea of the options of your future profession while you help others and enrich your life's experiences. Contact the Student Volunteer Services office for more information about opportunities at Ball State and in Muncie. Also explore other campus activities and undergraduate research.
When applying to dental school, you will be asked about achievements within your undergraduate years, and that question will relate to activities inside and outside the classroom.
What factors do medical and dental schools consider when evaluating applicants?Factors differ by school, but will probably include academic credentials, MCAT scores, a personal interview, and letters of evaluation, as well as demonstrated knowledge of and commitment to the profession and perhaps knowledge of the school and its program. Some schools interview only those applicants meeting certain initial requirements such as residency, GPA, and MCAT standards.
The Indiana University School of Medicine states: "Students are offered places in the class on the basis of scholarship, character, personality, references, performance on the Medical College Admission Test, and personal interview."
Is it becoming more difficult to attend medical school?Note below the increase in applicants to medical schools— nationwide, less than half of all applicants gain entrance to medical school. To be admitted you must be determined, well prepared, and well informed. You should actively explore alternative approaches and alternative careers.
Number of Applicants
Number of New Entrants
What are some alternative health professions?OsteopathyPhysician's Assistant Medical TechnologyDoctor of AudiologyOptometryPharmacologyVeterinary MedicinePublic Health
All of these careers and professions require training and course work similar to what predental students need. In addition, many students become so interested in research while in college that graduate school becomes an attractive alternative.
Is it all over if I have a bad semester?No. There is a false but persistent rumor floating among predental students that if you have a bad science grade or a bad semester you will have to give up. That's not true. Dental school admission committees look carefully at student abilities and development. They realize that not every student enters college with a burst of academic brilliance. They expect an excellent academic record but will make allowances for problem semesters or a slow start--some allowances.
However, the average grade point average (GPA) for incoming medical students at Indiana University in 2007 was about 3.75 and for incoming dental students at Indiana University it has been about 3.60 in recent years.
What is the DAT?The Dental Admission Test (DAT) is a standardized test comprised exclusively of multiple-choice questions that measure aptitude and achievement in science and other areas related to the study of dentistry.
We strongly urge you to examine a DAT study guide as early as your sophomore year. Again, understanding what skills the test measures might affect the way you approach your course work. The DAT is divided into four sections: survey of natural sciences, perceptual ability test, reading comprehension, and quantitative reasoning.
The natural science section includes biology, general chemistry, and organic chemistry but NOT physics. So although a physics course is required to apply to dental school, it is not included on the DAT exam.
Prometric Testing Centers administers a computerized DAT throughout the country. Note: you must achieve a DAT score of 15 or higher on all sections before you can schedule your interview at the Indiana University Dental School.
When should I take the DAT?You should take the DAT the spring or summer before the application deadline, but dental schools can be flexible about when you have taken the DAT. Check with the admissions office of the dental school to which you plan to apply for the specific deadline.
Do I need letters of evaluation (recommendation letters)?Yes. Academic evaluations, which indicate knowledge of your abilities in comparison to other students, may be extremely important.
You can ask a professor about his or her willingness to write a letter of evaluation in your sophomore and junior years and/or at the conclusion of a particular class (rather than a year later when you apply to medical or dental school so that your performance is fresh in the mind of the evaluator). If you had a particularly noteworthy achievement in a freshman class, this too may provide a valuable evaluation. You need to keep in mind that some schools require letters from both science and non-science professors.
To be a stronger candidate for admission, it is imperative that you get to know some of your professors, so they know you well enough to write a convincing letter of recommendation.We strongly encourage you to enroll in some small-size or seminar-type classes in which you will be able to work closely with your professors. Make yourself known to instructors if they have time to talk during office hours. Taking more than one small class from a teacher may be helpful. A small upper-level class in which you have demonstrated exemplary work may be ideal in terms of an evaluation request. For more information see your adviser.
What chance do I have as an applicant to the School of Dentistry as a non resident of Indiana?Most state-supported schools generally show preference to their own state residents. The Indiana School of Dentistry typically offers places to 20 or more nonresidents per year. Ball State students with good records are encouraged to apply to each school.
How do I know if medicine or dentistry is the right career for me?Read, talk, listen, observe, and compare. Read about issues and the changes occurring in the fields of medicine and dentistry. Talk with physicians and dentists about what they like and don't like about their profession. Attend the Ball State Pre-Health Professions Club meetings to listen to health professionals and students who come to talk about their careers and to answer student questions.
That's a lot of work--but if you enter the profession, you will be a physician or dentist for forty years or more. Take some time now to investigate what your future profession may entail.
How can the health professions advisor help me?Preparing for medical school requires careful long-range planning and accurate information. The pre-health advisor specializes in helping students prepare for medical and dental school.
Course selection, course sequencing, MCAT and DAT preparation, planning for recommendations, and the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) application are among the subjects discussed. The Advising Office (CL 232) contains useful medical and dental school reference materials, medical and related dental school bulletins, and information.A group meeting will be held for premedical and predental students during the fall semester. Attend this meeting.
The Advising Office also works closely with the Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Club. The club sponsors a number of speakers and activities related to dental and medical professions as well as volunteer service activities.
You probably have more questions. Call to make an appointment to meet with the pre-health professions advisor Dr. Chatot, at (765) 285-8857.

text: Student Profiles Audrey Chee '09 Audrey Chee '09 Hometown: Hong Kong Major: Asian Studies, with a minor in French Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? Bowdoin provided something different for me—a change of pace, a change of scenery, and a change of culture. I wanted something that would challenge me, academically and personally. I had lived in the same city for 18 years, and I wanted to learn about myself and how I could adapt to different situations. At the same time, when I visited Bowdoin, the summer before my senior year, I felt comforted. There was something about the friendliness of the people on and off campus, the proximity to the ocean as well as a city, and the numerous resources available that made me feel reassured that I could live here for four years. A large part of my decision was also due to Deborah Deveaux, the admissions officer for international students at that time. I met her when she came to visit my high school, and we stayed in touch throughout the application process. Her openness and honesty only helped to make my decision easier. Why did you choose your major? I took a few Chinese history courses in high school, and I was always fascinated by the rapid cultural changes in Asia during the past century. Seeing as I had come from Hong Kong to the U.S., I did not think I would focus on that. However, I was inspired after taking Professor Shu-chin Tsui's course Culture in Contemporary China, in which we studied film, music, art and its presence and effect in China, post-Cultural Revolution. I wanted to learn about how and why China has transformed, especially because I plan on working in China sometime in the future. I've taken French since middle school, so although it wasn't something I wanted to pursue heavily, it was definitely an interest of mine, which is why I decided to minor in it. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? There are too many! My first-year seminar, Seekers Lives, with former Bowdoin professor Kidder Smith was very memorable. We studied and discussed biographies and works by different religious figures. Kidder created a great class dynamic, and my classmates and I became very close. We even went on a cabin trip together to New Hampshire at the end of the semester. I also love the two visual arts classes that I have taken—Photography I with Michael Kolster and Digital Color Photography with Meggan Gould. Both classes and professors have challenged me significantly, creatively and intellectually. Lastly, I am currently conducting a yearlong independent study about the effectiveness of advertising in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games with Shu-chin Tsui in the Asian studies department. Being able to conduct an independent study has given me the opportunity to learn about a subject that is not provided in the curriculum, and also gave me a better idea of what I am interested in. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? Kidder Smith, my Asian studies advisor, who sadly retired this past year. He was one of those professors who was always smiling, incredibly joyful and open to anything that you wanted to talk about. Though he welcomed anything that I was thinking and wanted to do, he would always question the other side of the argument to make sure that I was seeing the whole picture. I've always appreciated that. Charlotte Daniels, my French advisor, is another professor whom I admire. She guided me through many academic decisions, and was incredibly supportive academically and emotionally. Audrey (right) and fellow senior Courtney Stock, deejaying at WBOR. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? Since my first year, I have been heavily involved in WBOR 91.1 FM, Bowdoin's non-commercial radio station. I have hosted a radio show with various friends all four years, and became the music director the spring of my freshman year. For the past four years, along with WBOR's past and present music directors, I have helped choose what goes in and out of the station, keep track of the music on the shelves, communicate with promotion companies, etc. I have always had an interest in independent music, and WBOR was something that I wanted to be a part of before I got to Bowdoin. I am happy and proud to be part of something that has grown in staff, members and interest in the past four years. I have also been involved in smART during my freshman and sophomore years. smART is an art-based mentoring program for students from West Harpswell Elementary School. I did something similar to this in high school, so it was a natural fit when I wanted to participate in community service. Using art to work with children has been incredibly rewarding, especially since I was able to build good relationships with a community. Since my first year, I've worked as the assistant in the Language Media Center, which is the film and media leg of the library at Bowdoin. I've had the chance to watch films that I wouldn't otherwise have known about! Working at the LMC has also allowed me to meet different staff members and faculty. Trekking in Tibet. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? I spent my fall '07 semester in India, Nepal and Tibet with SIT's Tibetan and Himalayan Studies. We spent the majority of our time in Dharamsala, India, a northern Himalayan town where the Dalai Lama resides with the largest Tibetan exile community. Dharamsala is a very small community and it quickly felt like home. We learned the basic Tibetan language, studied a lot about Tibet's cultural and political history, as well as participated in anthropological fieldwork. I ended up conducting my independent study on post-14th-century Dalai Lama problems and situations in Dharamsala, because I wanted to continue the relationships that I had made there. In between, we also spent some time in Kathmandu, Nepal, where we were able to experience Buddhist teachings and prepare for our trek in Tibet. In Tibet, we experienced "the other side" and split our time between exploring Lhasa and trekking around the central region. What have you done during your summers? I spent one of my summers working at Bowdoin's admissions office. I gave daily tours, as well as helped out in the information sessions. It was terrific, because I got to enjoy beautiful Maine summer weather, work with extremely hilarious people, and talk everyday about a place that I love. I also spent my past summer interning at Leo Burnett in Hong Kong. Leo Burnett is a global advertising company, and I learned a great deal about the nature of advertising agencies, teamwork, and thinking fast on your feet. What is your best Bowdoin memory? There are a lot! Some of my favorite moments are the weekly dinner meetings with WBOR's management. I have formed a lot of friendships and met some of the funniest and most creative people there. Secondly, coming from a tropical place, skiing was something that I didn't think I'd have a chance to do. Luckily, most of my friends were either seasoned skiers, or had basic skiing experience, so it was a nice mix of company to ski and learn with. I am extremely afraid of heights, so it is incredibly satisfying to be able to ski down a tall mountain and say I did it! Lastly, my summer in Maine was incredibly memorable. One of my favorite moments was when my friends and I went camping on Merritt Island, an island that Bowdoin owns. We went kayaking, ate s'mores and enjoyed the sunshine. Then, as we packed up to go back to Bowdoin, we stopped by the Yarmouth Clam Festival, where we ate our fill of fried clams! It was a great weekend. What are your plans for after graduation? I am planning on working in the marketing industry, either with an agency or with a market research firm. I would also love to go to graduate school sometime in the future. I hope that whatever I do will allow me to work in different countries. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? It's never too late to do something at Bowdoin. I did not go on a pre-orientation trip my freshman year, partly because I wanted to spend more time with family and friends and partly because I wasn't ready to go on an outdoor trip—something that I hadn't really done before. Coming from a city, I was always under the impression that hiking and camping wasn't something that was in me. Yet, when I went on my first Outing Club trip, I found the Bowdoin Outing Club to be incredibly supportive. Additionally, I got to see parts of Maine that I would never have otherwise. So, I applied and was given the opportunity to lead a pre-orientation trip my senior year. I got to spend a week in Acadia National Park with nine incredible first-years and my lovely co-leader, Simon Ou. On the last day, we woke up at 3 a.m. and hiked Cadillac Mountain, which is believed to be the first point in North America to see the sunrise! If possible, spend a summer at Bowdoin. There are a lot of job and research opportunities during the summer, and you will get the chance to get to know professors, staff and students. Summers in Maine provide beautiful weather, tons of town fairs (i.e., Lobster festival in Rockland, Renaissance Fair in Scarborough, Clam Festival in Yarmouth), and Cotes, the ice cream shop in downtown Brunswick. What quirky or fun thing did you wish you know before you came do Bowdoin? Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving dinner at Bowdoin is the only time that the dining halls will open early with unbelievably long lines with students and people from town. They also have the fluffiest mashed potatoes!

Even though she's closing in on 40, Eva Longoria still looks as good as ever. And that quality holds true for all parts of her body. Thanks to a wardrobe malfunction, we saw her southern region at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival — and it looks to be in pristine condition. Check out the 9 photos of the uncensored variety below.
Personally, I think it may be an optical illusion. That could just be see-thru underwear and not a clean shot at her goods. I doubt she'd go with no panties in the rain — that doesn't make much logical sense.
Then again, perhaps Eva Longoria planned it out. She hasn't been getting as much work lately so this would be a good way to throw her name back in the headlines. If this is the case, I like where her career is heading.
Here are the 9 pics with the goods. Be sure to click "Next" in order to see all nine:

By Clara Parkes
Knitters talk about how certain yarns are ideal for lace, others for ribbing; how some yarns will give you magnificent drape, while others will hug you tight. This is fine if you're working a pattern that has only one such quality throughout. But what about those patterns that throw the whole kitchen sink at us?
That's precisely why I chose to swatch Colette. It has snug, body-hugging ribbing around the waist. But it also has a band of lace openwork around the middle and smooth stockinette up top. Adding to the yarn challenge is a summer styling that demands warm-weather fibers—which aren't known for their bounce or elasticity.
The pattern itself calls for Classic Elite Wool Bam Boo, which contains equal parts wool and bamboo that have been intimately blended and spun into a fairly springy and pearlescent multiple-ply yarn. It's a fine choice for this project because the bamboo provides excellent evaporative cooling abilities and a silky shimmer while the wool pulls the fibers together.
Margrit Sage told me she'd envisioned silk as she was designing Colette, so I set out to find a suitable silk blend. I say "blend" because silk, although exquisitely soft and luminous on its own, lacks the bounce necessary to keep that ribbed bodice snug. On its own, silk could easily get too heavy, causing the garment to stretch awkwardly at the shoulders and widen at the bottom, making the wearer feel a little bit like a human bell.
Nothing rectifies an elasticity problem quite like wool, so that's where I began. I found Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK, a yarn nearly identical to the Wool Bam Boo but with more merino (75% extra fine merino) blended with 20% silk and 5% cashmere.
While I consider the cashmere mostly symbolic (it's hard to feel anything at only 5%), the 20% silk is enough to give a telltale shimmer while the merino still keeps all the stitches plush and snug. This is one of many multiple-ply wool blends you can try. This kind of yarn produces round, clean stitches and gives both the ribbing and the lace a high-relief, three-dimensional quality.
What if you want to enjoy the well-rounded elasticity of a multiple-ply wool blend but you don't want any actual wool in the mix? Many such yarns exist, too. Particularly notable is Berroco Comfort DK. Made of completely synthetic materials (50% super fine nylon and 50% super fine acrylic), this yarn is cable-spun—i.e., the composite strands are twisted together in one direction to form plies, and then plied together in the opposite direction to complete the yarn. (Brown Sheep Cotton Classic is also spun this way.)
The result is a soft yet extremely strong, slightly elastic, and well-rounded yarn that performs as equally well on the ribbing as it does in the lace and stockinette. It can be tossed in the washer and dryer, and it doesn't have an ounce of wool in it.
Although nylon and acrylic are both extremely strong, nylon lacks good moisture uptake and can feel a bit clammy against your skin if, say, you find yourself walking through a rain forest. If you really need this top to have evaporative cooling, I have two possible yarn routes: one that keeps the elasticity, and one that kicks it out the door and cranks up the A/C.
The first option is well-represented in O-Wool Balance, a certified organic 50/50 blend of cotton and wool. These two fibers actually become better when blended together, each offsetting the other's shortcomings. O-Wool has spun the fibers into a woolen-style two-ply yarn.
Knit up, it creates a mossy, decidedly earthy fabric surface that renders plump ribbing, full stockinette, and a very textural lacework. The yarn's 50% wool content and its jumbled woolen preparation also make it extra forgiving of irregular stitch tension, which might come in handy for some of us.
If that 50% wool still worries you, you have one more option: Abandon all hopes of bounce or elasticity and go for a yarn that will keep you cooler than any animal fiber-based blend could. The only caveat is that the yarn should be light enough to hold the ribbing without sagging. An unsung hero in this category is Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy, a fine, firm, and extraordinarily cool-wearing blend of 34% hemp, 41% cotton, and 25% modal, made from the reconstituted cellulose from beech trees.
While the hemp and cotton provide extraordinary air-conditioning abilities, the modal has a delicious hint of shimmer that occasionally sparkles through the fog of the other fibers.
Or you could try something entirely different and surprise me. Go ahead, swatch and see!

Real beats Carolina 3-0 in US Open Cup,
Real beats Carolina 3-0 in US Open Cup,
Jun. 27, 2013
SANDY, Utah (AP) — No one has been more instrumental in helping Real Salt Lake transform into an elite MLS club than Jason Kreis.
Since retiring as a player and taking over as head coach in 2007, Kreis has led RSL to an MLS Cup, multiple playoff appearances and a runner-up finish in the CONCACAF Champions League.
Kreis took a step closer to potentially adding a U.S. Open Cup trophy to the mix.
Defenders Tony Beltran and Chris Winger took on scoring duties to help Salt Lake reach the U.S. Open Cup semifinals for the first time with a 3-0 victory over the Carolina Railhawks on Wednesday night.
Alvaro Saborio added a third goal late for RSL, which has won six straight games across all competitions. It is also unbeaten in 10 of 11 matches since the start of May.
"I'm pleased, but it means nothing really to me to be in the semifinals," Kreis said. "It will only mean something to win the whole thing."
Salt Lake had reached the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals on two previous occasions, but took 2-0 losses to the Colorado Rapids in 2006 and FC Dallas in 2011. RSL improved to 7-8-1 in Open Cup play and is now 5-2 against lower-division teams.
The result also gave Kreis his 100th career victory since becoming a head coach — and it came with Colin Clarke, who coached him in 2003 and 2004 in Dallas, guiding RSL's opponent.
Clarke is not surprised to see how far Kreis has come in his coaching career. He saw the potential in him during his MLS playing days.
"He's that type of person," Clarke said. "He's a student of the game and he studies it. He's a deep thinker. I knew once he came here and had the opportunity to coach, he'd be successful."
Salt Lake faced a shorthanded RailHawks team that rested several of its starters. Carolina created zero shots before halftime while it turned complete attention to shutting down Salt Lake's powerful offense. They routinely dropped most of their players behind the ball in the first half to keep RSL from getting into an offensive rhythm.
The conservative strategy worked in frustrating Salt Lake's attack. Kyle Beckerman came the closest to breaking through in those early minutes. Beckerman gathered up a loose ball outside the box in the 11th minute and curled a shot toward the far post, but goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald stopped it.
Kreis felt like his team was a little too tentative in the early minutes.
"We're an aggressive team," Kreis said. "We're not a team that can sit back and knock the ball around and be very patient."
That all changed in the 35th minute when Beltran put Salt Lake ahead. Three defenders converged on Saborio when Javier Morales fed him the ball in the center of the box. Saborio flicked it out to Beltran on the right and Beltran sent a low blast he threaded inside the left post.
Wingert followed with just the second goal in his MLS career in the 50th minute. He fired off a left-footer that deflected off Fitzgerald on the line and went in.
"Any time you can score a goal from the outside, it opens them up," Wingert said. "Just having the threat of a good outside shot can be huge. Any time he lines one up, we think it has a chance to go in. Tony is an extremely good striker of the ball. It's just the way we play, the two of us aren't getting a ton of shots."
Saborio came up just short of adding a third goal in the 64th minute. Morales angled a corner kick into him inside the 6-yard box. Saborio headed the ball forward, but it bounced off the post.
He would not be denied for long. Saborio finally scored in the 85th minute when Olmes Garcia tracked down a ball in the corner and crossed it to him in front of the net. Saborio headed it home.

In order for Fitness Dating in Coogee to benefit the health of an individual, an unknown response in the person called a stimulus will be triggered by the exertion. When exercise is performed with the correct amount of intensity, duration and frequency, a significant amount of improvement can occur. The person will overall feel better but the physical effects on the human body take weeks, months, or even years to be noticed or fully developed.
Coogee Fitness Dating
For training purposes, exercise must provide a stress or demand on either a function or tissue. To continue improvements, this demand must eventually increase little over an extended period of time. This sort of Fitness Dating in Coogee has three basic principles: overload, specificity, and progression. These principles are related to health but also enhancement of physical working capacity.
This is often presented in textbooks as a triangle made up of three points, which represent physical, emotional, and mental fitness. Fitness Dating in Coogee can also prevent or treat many chronic health conditions brought on by unhealthy lifestyle or aging. Working out can also help some people sleep better and possibly alleviate some mood disorders in certain individuals.
Diet is an important component to overall health that works best in combination with Fitness Dating in Coogee. A balanced diet and exercising regularly are important for maintaining good health. Obesity is defined as body mass index, a measure of weight in relationship to height. With obesity on the rise, Australia has implemented more exercise and diet plans.
Fitness Dating Coogee will help prevent type 2 diabetes, which is more common with obesity. There are millions of programs, websites, television shows, magazines, and movies regarding health and fitness. Recently, the trends of diets and lifestyle habits have become more and more encouraged. Understanding the importance of the health benefits resulted from diet and exercise will help decrease the amount of obesity in this country. Fitness Dating is defined in terms of type, intensity, duration and frequency.
Coogee Fitness Dating is a general state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to perform aspects of sports or occupations. Fitness Dating in Coogee is generally achieved through correct nutrition, exercise, hygiene and rest.

Remember when Mitt Romney appeared in front of a group of coal miners in Eastern Ohio a couple weeks ago? It's now been revealed that the company that owns the mine required the miners to attend — and that they had to give up their pay for the day to do so.
Earlier this month, Mitt Romney was welcomed for a campaign event at the Century Mine in Beallsville, Ohio, by hundreds of coal workers and their families. Now many of the mine's workers are saying they were forced to give up a day-worth of pay to attend the event, and they feared they might be fired if they didn't, according to local news radio WWVA.The claims have been mostly denied by Rob Moore, Chief Financial Officer of Murray Energy Company, which owns the mine. He acknowledges that workers weren't paid that day but says no one was made to attend the event. Well, kind of.
"Our managers communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend," he told local news radio WWVA, which has received several emails from workers claiming that the company records names of workers that don't attend those types of events.
Well that clears it right up — it was mandatory but no one was forced to attend. Right.

Game Day Recon: Game #78 – Stars @ Canucks
OMG! Enough of the Dallas Stars already!! After going over a year without playing one another, the Canucks and Stars face off for the fourth time in less than five weeks.
And with the Stars and Canucks playing fairly uninspired hockey against one another, we're pretty much done with the two teams playing each other. Which only means only thing…. it's therefore inevitable that they meet again in this year's playoffs. Sigh.
Broadcast Info
Game Time: 7:00 PM PT
TV: Sportsnet Pacific
Radio: Team 1040
The Setup
The Canucks and Stars are playing a similar style of hockey these days. They have nearly identical records over their last 10 respective games (Dallas: 6-4-0; Vancouver: 6-3-1). The Stars goal differential over those 10 games is even (24GF; 24GA) while the Canucks' goal differential is a mere -1 (20 GF; 21 GA). Both teams have scored 4+ goals only twice in the last 10 games and both teams have two shutouts in their last 10 games. The bottom line is that both Vancouver and Dallas have relied on goaltending and defence to win games down the stretch and outbursts of offense are few and far between.
That's not to suggest that each team doesn't have its share of goal scorers and point getters. The Canucks, with Henrik, Kesler, Burrows, Booth and Higgins, are being vilified by press and fans for their lack of offence lately. But the Stars, even with the likes of Ribiero, Ryder, Benn, and Eriksson up front are just as unable to find any consistency lately. One game they score 4 goals and win handily, then next game they score 4 and lose. One game, they score 1 goal and get a 1-0 shutout, then next they score two goals and get shelled for 5. There is only one big difference between the Stars and Canucks over the past 10 games. The Canucks have played in 7 1-goal games; the Stars have played 4 and two of those were shootouts.
What does this mean? What should we expect tonight?
Well, we shouldn't expect a lot of goals, that's for sure. Given the Canucks' sudden and drastic shift to lock-down play, and given the Stars inconsistency with goal scoring from game-to-game, it's easy to suggest that this will be another low scoring affair. Could the Canucks be in for their third straight 1-0 game?
The first game that the Canucks played with Daniel Sedin was against the Stars on March 22nd. They found a way to win that game without Daniel, and it was the first of four wins in a row for the Canucks. All that being said, it seems that, with all of the games that these two teams have played against one another lately, it's just a foregone conclusion that they'll meet in the first round of the playoffs. Yep. And, man – I can't WAIT for that! As of today, there is a 25.0% chance that the Canucks and Stars will be first round opponents. There is also a 30.4% chance that the Canucks will open the playoffs against the Coyotes. I honestly can't decide which match-up would be more exciting! I'll figure it out while I take a nap during tonight's game.
Numbers Game
This table includes what we believe to be the best "predictive" team metrics in hockey. Beyond the self-explanatory stats like record, powerplay percentage and goal differential, the table includes: 5-on-5 Goals For and Against Rate, which measures a team's even-strength goal differential on a per game basis. Today the table is somewhat modified because timeontheice's "mplayershots" scripts have been glitchy over the past week, so we've dropped shot% and shot% tied from the table. However, Fenwick% close is a great indicator of possession, and shows us which team is better at controlling play. We'll also include Fenwick% in a tied game state, which, has been proven to be the gold standard for measuring "real" team quality. We'll also include PDO to qualify a team's record – and try to isolate whether or not a particular opponent (or the Canucks) are actually as good as their record indicates, or whether or not they've just been lucky (or unlucky).
|Venue Record (Home/Away)
|Last 10
|Goal Differential
|5-on-5 Goals F/A
|Shots %
|Fenwick %
|Shots Tied %
|Fenwick Tied %
Game Notes
Roberto Luongo will likely get the start tonight, while Cory Schneider will get the start tomorrow against Calgary as the Canucks play back-to-back home games.
Kevin Bieksa is now taking a "maintenance week", which at this point seems like the sane thing to do, to ensure that Juice is ready and healthy for the playoffs.
Kari Lehtonen will man the net for the Stars, who are without Nystrom, Dvorak and Fistric with injuries.
An OT/SO victory for the Canucks tonight would leave the season series identical for both teams at 2-1-1.
The Three Keys
Here are the three keys for the Vancouver Canucks tonight:
- For crying out loud, someone watch Eriksson, Ryder, Been and Ribiero. The Stars' offense is pretty top-heavy, so it should be easy to focus on those four. I'm not saying it's going to be easy to completely shut them down, but the Canucks should be focused squarely on those four. Defensive line matching as much as possible whenever those four are on the ice.
- Faceoffs and puck possession. The Stars are a pretty brutal faceoff team, and with Malhotra drawing back into the lineup tonight, the Canucks need to use this advantage to essentially play keep-away – especially in the defensive zone when Eriksson, Ryder, Been and Ribiero are on the ice. It's hard to score when you don't have the puck.
- If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Canucks have not allowed more than 2 goals since their 4-3 win against Columbus two weeks ago. Since then, they're 4-1-1 and have won 4 straight. I know it's boring but it works. And apart from Dallas' aforementioned "Big 4" up front, they don't have a ton of scoring depth. Sorry Canucks fans, but it's working and the team is getting ready for the playoffs. You know what's coming.

Today, I began the long process of deciding which societies I will renew memberships in, which ones I may need to join, and what periodicals I need to subscribe to for the coming year.
This is always a difficult decision for me. If I had my druthers, I'd join every society on my long list and subscribe to every periodical. Alas, finances almost never allow for that circumstance. So I must pick and choose based on whether or not I can participate in society functions, what benefits the society offers (and whether or not I can take advantage of them), and how well I like the society's publications.
Last year, I was a member of two state genealogical societies, four regional genealogical societies, the National Genealogical Society, the Association of Professional Genealogists, and the International Society of Family History Writers and Editors. Additionally, I subscribed to The Genealogist and The American Genealogist. (Yes, I really read them.) One of the state societies can be joined only through the state's regional societies, so I only have to pay once to be a member of both.
If this sounds like a lot, well, maybe so, maybe not so. I have the pleasure of living at the corner of three states, and because I perform client work in all three, then I must keep abreast of the genealogy world in all three. And because I'm a professional interested in professional practices, etc., then I must keep track of the larger picture, which I do through membership in the NGS, the APG, and the ISFHWE. I consider membership in all of these societies to be fairly necessary, professionally and personally.
This year, I had hoped to not only renew membership in all my "essential" societies, but to join at least two new ones as well, including at least one historical society.
Unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to drop membership in at least one regional society, not because of financial pressures but because the society meets at a time when working people cannot attend without missing work. The regular meeting places are usually held at locations 1.5 – 2 hours by car from me, which means I'd miss pretty much a whole day of work.
Outside of the meetings, the only benefit is the society's publication. It's actually one of the better society publications I read as far as content, reliability, and format go, but the editor is completely unresponsive. I've tried to volunteer several times (to write articles, to transcribe records, or to pick up records for others to transcribe) and have received absolutely no response. Frankly, if I'm going to beat my head against a brick wall, I'd rather it be an ancestral problem. On the other hand, perhaps the editor doesn't need or want additional help, in which case it would be better for me to apply my efforts where they are needed.
Either way, dropping that society means I might be able to join another one. For instance, I would like to join a third state society, but while the meetings for the one I have in mind are held in several locations throughout the state, none is closer than a four hour drive from where I live. That doesn't stop me from volunteering with the society when I can, but it does put weight on continuing membership in the pertinent regional society (which is active and relatively close to home) rather than joining the state-level society.
I had hoped to subscribe to at least two new periodicals as well, although I have not made my mind up as to which ones would be best. I thought perhaps one of the commercial, popular magazines, but I may veer toward Prologue Magazine, from the National Archives, or the Federation of Genealogical Societies FORUM instead.
Hmm. Decisions, decisions…

Scalded skin syndrome is a skin infection in which the skin becomes damaged and sheds.
Ritter disease; Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSS)
Scalded skin syndrome is caused by infection with certain strains of Staphylococcus bacteria. The bacteria produce a poison that causes the skin damage. The damage creates blisters, as if the skin were scalded. These blisters can occur at areas of the skin away from the initial site.
Scalded skin syndrome is found most commonly in infants and children under the age of 5.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and look at the skin. The exam may show that the skin slips off when it is rubbed (positive Nikolsky's sign).
Tests may include:
Antibiotics are given through a vein (intravenously) to help fight the infection. Fluids are also given through a vein to prevent dehydration. Much of the body's fluid is lost through open skin.
Moist compresses to the skin may improve comfort. You can apply a moisturizing ointment to keep the skin moist. Healing begins about 10 days after treatment.
A full recovery is expected.
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of this disorder.
The disorder may not be preventable. Treating any staphylococcus infection quickly can help.
Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (Ritter Disease). In: Kliegman RM, Behrman RE, Jenson HB, Stanton BF, eds. Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics. 19th ed. Philadelphia, Pa: Saunders Elsevier; 2011:chap 657.3.

RALEIGH, NC (AP) — North Carolina State University is warning parents that private information about 1,800 school children from Richmond and Wilson counties was mistakenly posted online.
The school says the information includes names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of students from Ashley Chapel in Richmond County and Gardners and Wells in Wilson County. The data was gathered from 2003 to 2006 as part of a study on classroom practices.
NC State's vice chancellor for information technology says there's no evidence anyone used the information improperly. Marc Hoit says the school sent letters to parents this week advising them of measures to take to monitor credit ratings.
It was difficult to find some parents because the information was gathered several years ago, and Ashley Chapel has since closed.

In the past, the Bearkats struggled in the win column, totaling only nine victories from 2007 to 2009. Prior to last season, the women's team had not made the Southland Conference tournament since 2004. Even then, Sam Houston entered the tournament with an unflattering overall record of 7-21.
In some ways, the Kats became accustomed to losing. Sophomore forward Sequeena Thomas noticed this before she ever stepped on the court.
"I looked at their record and thought, 'that can't be right,'" she said.
Thomas was a star, first at Rockwall-Heath High School where she averaged more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game as a junior. Then, as a senior she earned first-team All-Area honors for Parkland High School in Allentown, Pa.
Thomas admits she wasn't an immediate success on the basketball court. After her mother remarried and family relocated to Texas, Thomas inherited three stepbrothers who she says exposed her to sports.
"I started playing in the fourth grade," she said. "I was really fast. That was probably my only positive for basketball. I couldn't shoot. I was horrible."
But she was a relentless competitor, which is what made last season such an adjustment for her. She played limited minutes and more importantly, sat on the bench during critical moments. She was even told by one senior that she and the other freshmen wouldn't be the reason the team won or loss.
However, a lot has changed within a year's time. Sam Houston, starting four sophomores and one junior, is averaging double-digit victories against Southland Conference opponents this season, with one of the best conference starts in ever. Nicknamed "Queen" by her teammates, Thomas is the Bearkats' leading rebounder and second leading scorer, averaging 14.9 points and 10.5 rebounds.
More than anything, Thomas represents the general bravado of this team. She's a player who expects to win, just like fellow sophomores Chanice Smith and Clarke Davis.
When asked about the change in the team's personality, Smith said the group this season is different.
"Just a new mentality, more focus. Just more willing to fight, if we're down to come back and, you know, pull out a win," Smith said. "There's more videos, more intensity in practice. They're making us compete against each other to make us better."
The women's squad is a tight-knit group. When the Kats traveled to face University of Texas-Arlington on Jan. 12, the common interest the night before the game was watching the season premiere of The Game sitcom, now broadcasted on Black Entertainment Television. Anticipation for The Game had grown over a two-year span, when the show was cancelled for contractual reasons in 2009.
But the Kats' hotel didn't have BET. To understate it, the ladies were disappointed.
"We were mad," Thomas said. "When we got to the hotel, the first thing everybody did was check, 'Ok do we have BET, we don't have BET'."
Fortunately, Smith's family lives in the area and the team was able to watch the show in their media room. The entire team was there.
Leading scorer Britni Martin describes the team as "easy to fit in with" and "fun-loving." But there's a balance between fun and focus for the Kats.
The day after watching The Game premiere, Sam Houston started its streak of double digit conference victories with a 14-point defeat over UTA.
The Bearkats want to become the juggernaut of the league and they have set goals for themselves. A chase for a Southland Conference Championship ring is all the ladies are talking about. Thomas is one of the emotional and vocal leaders, as well as a game-changer. Change is what the Bearkats have needed for so long.

MPCA Seeks Volunteer Water Monitors
ST. PAUL (AP) - The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is recruiting volunteers to help track water quality changes in lakes and streams across the state.
More than 1,300 Minnesotans volunteer to track the health of their favorite lake or stream through the Citizen Lake and Citizen Stream Monitoring Programs. That makes them among the largest citizen science programs in the nation. But the agency seeks more volunteers to reach all the lakes and streams across the state.
As part of the program, volunteers are asked to perform a short and simple test at their designated lake or stream once per week throughout the summer. The MPCA provides equipment and training.
For some lakes and streams, volunteers are the only regular source of water quality data.

Horner syndrome is a rare condition that affects the nerves to the eye and face.
Horner syndrome can be caused by any interruption in a set of nerve fibers that start in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus and travel to the face and eyes.
Sympathetic nerve fiber injuries can result from:
In rare cases, Horner syndrome is present at birth (congenital). The condition may occur with a lack of color (pigmentation) of the iris (colored part of the eye).
Symptoms may include:
There may also be symptoms of the disorder that is causing the problem.
An eye examination may show:
Your health care provider will do a complete examination to determine the possible effect on other parts of the nervous system. Depending on the suspected cause, you may need:
You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in vision problems related to the nervous system (neuro-ophthalmologist).
Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. There is no treatment for Horner syndrome itself.
The outcome depends on whether treatment of the cause is successful.
There are no direct complications of Horner syndrome itself. However, there may be complications from the disease that caused Horner syndrome or from its treatment.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Horner syndrome.

Today, let me explain how to optimize your image SEO. First, you need to consider your alt text. An alt text it is the bit of information that allows the search engine to identify what is on your images, otherwise the search engine wouldn't have a clue what you want to show and it wouldn't be able to process the information. The second consideration is the image name, as in most cases the name that is left by your camera doesn't say anything about the content of the picture.
For instance, the image name "nk0012.jpg" is definitely not going to help the search engine to find your hotel. You should rather use something like "hotel-mirador-lobby.jpg". Just by updating this data you can improve your position in Google, which will bring you more customers and at the end of the day more revenues.
Here is a video of Matt Cutts that will help you understand.
And if you thought that this was not important, see what Google has just released: latest search tool Google Image that searches by images.

The Google-Microsoft patent war of words is continuing. Yesterday, Google (rightfully so, in my book) accused Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle partaking in an organised patent attack against Android, instead of competing on merit, claiming that they bought up Novell's and Nortel's patents solely to attack Android and its device makers. Microsoft struck back, claiming Google was offered to join in on the bids for the Novell patents, but rejected the offer. Google has now responded to this accusation - and to make matters even more confusing, Microsoft responded back. A public shouting match between two powerful parties? Count me in!

Time of Poss.
The Wittenberg Tigers sent their senior class out on a positive note, putting the finishing touches on the 2011 regular season with a 42-21 win over Wooster.
The Tigers finished 2011 with an overall record of 8-2, to go along with a North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) mark of 5-1. The win secured sole possession of second place for the Tigers after claiming back-to-back NCAC titles in 2009 and 2010.
Wooster lost for the third straight year to Wittenberg and has only beaten the Tigers three times since a four-game win streak between 1941 and 1949. The Scots, who have lost 17 straight games in Springfield since winning in 1949, finished the 2011 campaign with records of 4-6 overall and 3-3 in the NCAC.
The Tigers got off to a strong start, taking advantage of a short Wooster punt to score their first touchdown before senior safety Seth Parker (DeGraff, Ohio/Riverside) blocked a punt in the second quarter that was returned 10 yards for a touchdown by freshman Hunter Hendershot (Franklin, Ind./Franklin). But it was the execution of a picture-perfect two-minute drill at the end of the first half that opened up a tight game as the Tigers drove 54 yards in five plays covering just 1:03 on the clock.
A six-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Ben Zoeller (Louisville, Ky./St. Xavier) to senior wide receiver Josh McKee (New Carlisle, Ohio/Tecumseh) capped that drive with just nine seconds left in the half. The momentum carried over to the second half as the Tiger offense rolled to three more touchdowns and even tossed in a two-point conversion as McKee, the holder on extra points, took the snap and rolled out to find senior linebacker Zach Hurtt (Fort Thomas, Ky./Highlands) on a short pass in the end zone.
If it was McKee's final appearance in the Red & White, it would be hard to imagine a better script. He broke the NCAC's career receiving record with 10 catches, running his total to 234. The previous mark of 224 was set by Wooster's Brandon Good.
Two of those receptions went for touchdowns to extend McKee's NCAC record total to 46. He finished with 199 yards through the air.
Zoeller had himself quite a day as well, throwing for 336 yards to move into second place on the Wittenberg career passing chart. In just two seasons as a starter (in addition to 10 appearances as a back-up in 2009), Zoeller finished with 5,770 passing yards, behind only Aaron Huffman's 6,446.
Wittenberg rolled up 512 yards of total offense in the game, compared to 319 for the Scots. The Tiger defense was paced by Hurtt with eight tackles to run his season total to 110 and his career total to 365, good for fifth on the program's all-time list. Sophomore linebacker Evan Killilea (Columbus, Ohio/DeSales) added seven tackles.
The Tigers remain a candidate for an at-large berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament, but the chances are slim. Wittenberg stood 10th in the most recent Great Lakes Regional rankings.

OJ Simpson testifies in bid for new Vegas trial
LAS VEGAS -- Appearing confident but sometimes emotional, O.J. Simpson testified Wednesday he did not know guns were involved in a confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers that led to his conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping, and a sentence that could keep him behind bars for life.
Simpson, in shackles that rattled when he shifted in his seat, took the stand in a hearing on his bid for a new trial on grounds he wasn't properly represented by his trial attorney.
The 65-year-old former football star and actor, now with short graying hair, receding hairline and dressed in drab prison uniform, spoke clearly as he recounted events leading up to the incident in a hotel room where the dealers had Simpson footballs and family photos.
"There was no talk of guns at all," he said under questioning by Patricia Palm, one of his attorneys.
During the trial, two co-defendants, who took plea deals and testified for the prosecution, said they had guns.
Simpson's voice cracked a bit as he recounted recognizing items on the hotel room bed, including framed photos that used to hang on the wall of his Los Angeles home.
"Look at this stuff. Some of the stuff I didn't really realize was gone. These were things I hadn't seen in 10 years," he said. "You know, you get a little emotional about it."
Simpson told his attorney he believed he was allowed to take the items.
In 2008, Simpson was near tears as he told a judge: "I didn't mean to steal anything from anybody. ... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of it."
There is no jury in the hearing and his fate will be determined by Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell.
Simpson was also asked about his background with his main trial attorney, Yale Galanter.
"Yale had a good relationship with the media," Simpson said.
"I was in the media a lot. He was able to refute many of the tabloid stories," Simpson said with a laugh. "He sort of liked doing it; he told me he did."
Unlike previous days of the hearing, the courtroom was full, with Tracy Baker, daughter of Simpson sister Shirley Baker, Charles Durio, husband of Simpson's deceased sister, Carmelita, in the second row. Also on hand was Tom Scotto, a Simpson friend from Miami whose wedding brought Simpson to Las Vegas.
A marshal turned people away, sending more than 15 people to an overflow room where video was streamed live.
When he went to trial in 2008, Simpson did not testify -- a decision that one of his lawyers said was pushed upon him by Galanter.
With 19 points raised to support reversal in the writ of habeas corpus, Simpson was expected to answer many questions from his lawyers and then undergo cross-examination by an attorney for the state who wants to keep him in prison.
Simpson is serving nine to 33 years in prison for his conviction on armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges.
Earlier in the hearing, attorney Gabriel Grasso was Simpson's star witness, the Las Vegas lawyer who joined the case when his old friend, Galanter, called and said, "Hey, Gabe, want to be famous?"
He said he soon realized he would be doing most of the behind-the-scenes work while Galanter made the decisions.
"I could advise O.J. all day long, and he was very respectful of me," Grasso told the court. "But if I advised him of something different from what Yale said, he would do what Yale said."
It was Galanter's decision not to have Simpson testify, Grasso said.
Under questioning from H. Leon Simon, attorney for the state, Grasso acknowledged the trial judge, Jackie Glass, specifically asked Simpson if he wanted to testify and he said no.
"Mr. Galanter told him, `This is the way it's going to be,"' Grasso said, adding he would have put him on the stand.
He said Simpson's confidence in Galanter was born of the acquittal he gained for Simpson in a road rage case in Florida five years after his 1995 acquittal on murder charges in the stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman.
Galanter is now the focus of Simpson's motion claiming ineffective assistance of counsel and conflict of interest. He has declined to comment until he takes the stand Friday.
There are questions of money, too. Grasso accused Galanter of lining his own pockets while telling him they were "operating on a shoestring" and couldn't afford to hire expert witnesses. Simpson's business attorney, Leroy "Skip" Taft, testified by phone Tuesday that he kept getting big bills from Galanter but no explanation of what costs were eating up hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Witness after witness spoke of a proposed plea bargain that Galanter turned down on Simpson's behalf but no one was sure the defendant knew about it.
There were rumors that Galanter gave his blessings to Simpson's plan to show up at the hotel room and reclaim his memorabilia, which two dealers were trying to peddle.
Retired Clark County District Attorney David Roger, who prosecuted Simpson, was asked whether investigators determined if Galanter helped Simpson plan the hotel room confrontation.
"He said he did not advise Mr. Simpson to commit armed robbery," Roger said.
"And he said he wasn't there?" asked Simpson attorney Ozzie Fumo.
"Yes," Roger replied.
Others have testified that Galanter was in Las Vegas and had dinner with Simpson the night before.
The other prosecutor, Chris Owens, testified about discovering phone calls between the two but hiding that fact from the judge. He identified at least 10 calls in the days preceding and on Sept. 13, 2007.
Both prosecutors described an agreement with the Simpson defense that was read to the jury saying there were no calls.
"So you stipulated to events that weren't true?" Fumo asked Owens.
"It was in the form of a legal construct," Owens replied and said the judge encouraged it because she didn't want to confuse the jury with another issue.
This is Simpson's last chance under state law to prove that he was wrongly convicted. A federal court appeal is still possible.

Experience the complicated realities of adult life, then reap the benefits of growing up in each life stage. A wealth of new options and activities makes your Sims' lives more meaningful than ever before, whatever their ages. With new celebrations, dramatic life events, and all-new ways for your Sims to express their creativity, The Sims 3 Generations lets your Sims live life to the fullest.
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
As the fourth installment in The Sims 3 game series, The Sims 3: Generations on the PC is an expansion pack that enhances game play in the way that fans will appreciate.
The Sims 3 games are known for opening up the world in new and unique ways that players do not expect. The features that each expansion pack brings to the game allow players to further immerse themselves in the world of The Sims. The Sims 3: Generations is no different. Generations adds goals, interactions and items that enhance the family and household dynamics of the game. While there are not any major changes to game play, here are some of the things that have been added that give The Sims 3 : Generations players a different experience.
Better Parties
While wedding and house parties have been available since the very first The Sims game, in Generations your Sims are able to throw themed parties that give them more personality. Sims are now able to throw and attend bachelor and bachelorette parties that come with party dancers and perhaps some adult entertainment. Teenage Sims can also throw parties at their house. They are also now able to attend school dances.
New Family-Centered Items
Every new expansion pack in The Sims 3 game adds some new items to play around with. The Sims 3: Generations is no different. Some of the items are more centered to younger Sims but most people can have fun on them. Some items include:-
Playground equipment
Tree houses
Bunk beds
There is also a video camera feature that allows your Sim to record any event while it is happening. They then have the option of replaying the video on any television available.
New Interactions and Personalities
Some of the new interactions available depend on family relationships. For example, mischievous children can receive harsher punishments (such as time-outs or being grounded) for their bad behavior.
There is a new rebellious character trait that gives positive points for pulling pranks successfully. Being able to pull pranks on other Sims is another thing that has been added. Pranks such as doorbell ditch, whoopee cushions and throwing eggs at houses can be just as much fun for the players as it is for the Sim.
As in real life, your philandering Sim can earn a not-so-flattering reputation for being a player. That means that Sims who like to whoo-hoo with many different people become known for their promiscuous reputation. This can prevent them from hooking up with other Sims who may not find their reputation very appealing.
These are some of the things that make The Sims :3 Generations a nice addition to your collection. However, if you are looking to add a whole new experience to your Sims experience, this game may not be what you are looking for. While it does add new features, the features enhance the things that are already there. Unfortunately, not many new experiences are brought to the table.

I've written extensively about how Dave Ramsey's "Debt Snowball" does a disservice to families and individuals struggling to get out of debt. By acquiescing to the emotions of money, those who most need to separate emotions from their financial decisions don't. Not everyone who is in debt are in that position due to emotionally-driven decision making, but many are. When you look at total time spent getting out of debt and total cost, making the choice to take a less emotionally-driven approach to getting out of debt is better. No decision is never fully logical because we are human, but the ability to recognize the pull of emotional decision-making is necessary for improving financial decisions in the future. And in some cases, people just aren't aware that the Debt Snowball method is potentially more expensive and more time-consuming than other options.
Banking Deal: Earn 1.30% APY on an FDIC-insured savings account at Synchrony Bank.
A reader encountered a different problem when applying the Debt Snowball method. Here is her experience, slightly edited:
A few years ago I found myself in $27,000 of credit card debt. I heard about the Ramsey Debt Snowball method and liked it, so I tried it out. It worked well, and I paid down one of my three credit cards quick! Then I got a letter from the second credit card. They were not happy simply receiving the minimum payment while I was paying down the first, and they considered me a "risk" because of that, so they bumped my interest rate from 9% to 18%. WOW! I was shocked!
I started my own way to pay down my debt: the transfer method! I transferred all my debt to the lowest interest card, that was 5%. Then a few months later, I started hunting down 0% interest cards. When I found one that had at least a term of twelve months, I transferred a portion of the balance on the 5% card to the new 0% card that I could pay off in twelve months. Then when that was paid, I'd hunt again, and transfer out another portion I could pay off during the 0% promotional period offered.
What this reader experienced could happen to anybody, regardless of the debt payoff method. It could happen even if you're using the mathematically superior Debt Avalanche or if you've created your own hybrid method. Despite the new regulations as a result of the Credit CARD Act of 2009, credit card companies can still change your interest rates in limited circumstances. The reader must have run afoul of one of the few situations in which issuers are allowed to raise interest rates on existing balances.
Using credit cards that offer a limited-time 0% APR on balance transfers is one way to immediately reduce the amount of interest you'll pay over time. Even with a balance transfer fee of 3%, you could save money if you play by the credit card's rules. You'll also need to consider the impact of opening a new line of credit; if you're looking to buy a new house soon, a new credit inquiry and account could temporarily lower your credit score, forcing you to qualify for a higher interest rate on a mortgage.
If that type of consequence is not important to you, you can save interest costs by finding the right credit card introductory deals for as long as you need to pay off your full balance. If you don't pay off or transfer a balance under a 0% APR program by the deadline however, the issuer will likely charge you their regular interest rate, even on the balance you had paid off until that point. It's a sneaky trap, especially when combined with a credit card issuer that doesn't reliably send out statements.
Keep your eyes open if you plan on playing the 0% APR balance transfer game. Although it was related to 0% APR on purchases, not balance transfers, problem many years ago with a credit card company that penalized me with back interest after not sending me statements.
The reader continued, offering tips for other readers hoping to take advantage of 0% APR balance transfer offers to pay off debt:
Now with this method you definitely must make sure that you make your payments on time, and be sure that you can pay off any amount you transfer during the 0% promotional period. Also, take into consideration the fee for transfer, which usually is around 3% of the balance. I have been doing this for a few years and I am proud to say that I am down to my last 3 payments (balance of $2900 at 0% interest), and have managed to save $10,000 in a liquid savings account. I hit these payments with $1,000 a month.
It took lots of discipline, so if it is important to you, look through all of your bills and see what you can cut out. I have a basic home land line (just a dial tone and basic internet), no cable, just basic cell phone with texting (no web or data). I use coupons avidly, eat out rarely, and buy clothing on clearance or shop at thrifts. I also do some hobby work on the side that covers my gas expenses and kids lunches for school. This has worked for me and my family, and being a single mom, I think I have done pretty darn well! The sacrifice has paid off. Beware of that Ramsey Debt Snowball. You might get one slammed right in your face like I did!
Again, this circumstance could happen with any debt repayment plan — not just the Debt Snowball. Remember to read all the statements that come from the credit card issuers so you don't miss an important notice like an interest rate change. Any changes would require you to re-evaluate your plan for paying off debt.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that a New York marketing executive received more than $600,000 in illicit funds from a Washington businessman to do unsolicited campaign work for a 2008 presidential candidate, identified by a campaign lawyer as Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Troy White pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor Wednesday for failing to file tax returns reflecting the amount that his company, Wytehouse Marketing Inc., was paid. But court documents outlined an elaborate scheme in which White allegedly worked with Washington businessman Jeffrey Thompson to help a presidential candidate during several Democratic primaries in the winter and spring of 2008.
While the candidate was not identified in court documents, an attorney for Clinton's 2008 presidential bid confirmed that the case involved her campaign.
Thompson and his network of donors were major contributors to Clinton, and White's website highlights the work his company did for Hillary Clinton and the Bill Clinton Foundation.
White had discussions about working for the campaign in an official capacity but was turned down, the documents show.
"Hillary Clinton for President has cooperated fully in the matter involving Troy White," Lyn Utrecht, a lawyer for her 2008 campaign, said in an email Wednesday. "As the court document filed in this matter clearly states, the Committee turned down Mr. White's services. The Committee will not have any further comment in an ongoing investigation."
After White's efforts to join the campaign were unsuccessful, a campaign official introduced White to a businessman matching Thompson's description, who agreed to pay White to do the same work he had offered to do for the campaign, according to prosecutors. The businessman ultimately funneled $608,750 to Wytehouse through a company owned by a close Thompson associate, the documents show.
Although he is not identified by the court documents in the White case, two people familiar with the investigation said the unidentified executive is Thompson, the Jamaican-born former owner of a politically connected Washington accounting firm. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the person's identity.
The money paid for "street teams" that worked to increase Clinton's visibility in urban areas ahead of several primaries, starting with the Texas primary and caucuses in March 2008. Clinton narrowly defeated then-Sen. Barack Obama in the Texas primary, and Obama won the caucuses.
Texas was considered a critical state for Clinton during her lengthy battle with Obama for the Democratic nomination.
According to the court documents, the campaign official "provided White with confidential internal information ... regarding the itinerary and schedule for a high-profile individual who would be campaigning in Texas." White sent workers to those events to show support and distribute campaign materials, the documents show.
Thompson is also the subject of a grand jury investigation, according to court documents. His lawyer has repeatedly declined to comment and did not return a message Wednesday.
Three former Thompson associates have admitted in court to making more than $300,000 in straw contributions on his behalf to federal and District of Columbia candidates. One of those is Eugenia "Jeanne" Clarke Harris, the owner of Belle International Inc., the company named in court documents as having paid White.
According to a database of Thompson-affiliated donors compiled by The Associated Press, Thompson and more than 50 of his associates — including employees, relatives, business associates and friends — gave more than $100,000 to Clinton's 2008 campaign.
The scheme to fund White's campaign activities is similar to what Thompson is alleged to have used to help Vincent Gray get elected as District of Columbia mayor in 2010. Harris pleaded guilty to funneling $653,000 through her companies, including Belle International, into Gray's campaign. Prosecutors described the effort as a "shadow campaign" that tainted Gray's Democratic primary victory over then-mayor Adrian Fenty.
White and his attorney, Ross Nabatoff, declined to comment after the hearing Wednesday afternoon. White, 48, faces a maximum of one year in prison for the misdemeanor conviction but is likely to receive less time under federal guidelines. He agreed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation, and his sentence could be reduced for substantial cooperation.
