The upcoming winter months bring a changed focus in the level of responsibility for Department of Transportation maintenance crews. Snow and ice control equipment and operators are on call 24 hours a day in order to be able to address winter road conditions in a timely manner. As in past years, WSDOT Maintenance crews will work in partnership with the Washington State Patrol relative to conditions along the highways.
In Northeastern Washington, state highway snow removal is handled by maintenance crews under the jurisdiction of D.O.T./Eastern Region. The region encompasses seven counties: Adams, Ferry, Lincoln, Spokane, Stevens, Pend Oreille, and Whitman. There are 1,577 centerline miles of state highways within the Eastern Region boundaries. To keep the roads clear and safe for travel, the WSDOT uses over 100 pieces of equipment in the Eastern Region. Most of these vehicles are combination snowplow/sander trucks. Maintenance crews and equipment are based in Spokane, Colfax, Colville, and Davenport with additional equipment sheds located at strategic points throughout the region.
This winter season brings some new challenges to the Eastern Region–snow and ice operations. Financial and workforce limitations necessitate achieving greater efficiencies in the snow removal/ice control program. The program and associated decisions determine the frequency of snow removal and ice control on state highways based on the functional class of the various highway sections.
Average daily traffic counts determine the functional class of a state highway and its position in the snow and ice priority list. Urban freeways and primary arterials receive the greatest emphasis in this program followed by rural facilities. Rural collector highways have the lowest priority. Each section of highway in the Eastern Region has been assigned a frequency of service for snow and ice attention.
Also, snow removal and ice control efficiency is related directly to staffing levels and the ability to keep equipment in use on the highway. The Eastern Region will primarily rely on existing permanent staff for snow and ice control. The hiring of temporary personnel serving on an "on-call" basis will be done to augment the winter highway coverage only when severe conditions dictate additional needs. Although more economical than staffing maintenance facilities 20 to 24 hours per day, this "on-call" process can result in longer response times to problem areas during severe weather conditions.
During the winter season, there are many times when the snow is falling faster than the plows can clear the highways. When this occurs, the cold snow bonds to the warm pavement and is packed down by passing vehicles. This "compact snow and ice" condition can be very treacherous and motorists are advised to lower their speed accordingly. When the snow becomes compacted, plows are unable to remove it completely from the roadway. Traction sand is then applied to the highway surface to make the road more passable. Crews will concentrate sand distribution at intersections, curves, on bridge surfaces, and hills under most conditions.
In the Spokane area, air quality continues to be an important issue and dust from traction sand on the roadway is a major concern. To control that dust, traction sand is now removed from the roadway during dry periods, especially along Interstate 90. These efforts are helping the community avoid violations of the PM10 regulations that are now in effect in Spokane County.
Motorists who are planning winter travel should be aware of changing weather and road conditions and carry emergency equipment such as tire chains, warm blankets, extra clothes, flashlight, first aid kit, etc. Information on all mountain passes in Washington State is available from the Department of Transportation by calling the toll-free number (800)695-7623.

When the Notre Dame Fighting Irish retreated to the locker room at halftime, they were down 16-0 to Lou Holtz's kid's team. While Coach Brian Kelly was discussing their "performance" in the first half against South Florida, the stadium seating areas were evacuated on account of foul weather.
The booth guy just said it's the first such evacuation anybody can remember. He didn't source God, but a bunch of people there are likely discussing His involvement, and how it's a sign that the Fighting Irish will rise up after three quarters and return to power.
This game won't be restarting
until 6:05 p.m. eastern at the earliest for quite some time, is what it sounds like.

Researchers Show the Flaws in Estimating Risk Measures
15-Sep-2008 9:00 AM EDT
Available for logged-in reporters only
KEYWORDSEstimating Risk Measures, Mount Sinai, risk, Adjusted
Newswise — Lawrence C. Kleinman, MD, MPH, Vice Chair for Research and Education and Associate Professor of Health Policy and Pediatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, has authored a paper about estimating risk measures and the flaws that are entailed. The paper, which includes Edward C. Norton, PhD, a health economist at the University of Michigan, as co-author, will be published in Health Services Research.
The paper titled, What's the Risk? A Simple Approach for Estimating Risk Measures from Nonlinear Models Including Logistic Regression, describes an improved approach to data analysis that will reduce the potential for miscommunication about how large an effect is, when researchers present their data to one another and to the lay public. The paper validates this approach and uses an example from the literature to demonstrate shortcomings of current methods.
Frequently, researchers want to describe the impact of one thing on another, independent of other factors. For example, they may want to measure the impact of second hand smoke on admissions to the hospital, independent of other factors, such as age, race, and insurance type and whether or not they live in a city. The most common way that researchers adjust for these factors is called logistic regression. Almost always, the results of these logistic regressions are presented as adjusted odds ratio.
"The word adjusted means that the other factors were taken into account," said Dr. Kleinman. "An odds ratio is the odds of being hospitalized if you were exposed, in this example, to second hand smoke, divided by the odds of being hospitalized if you were not exposed."
The problem is that people often misunderstand odds and think in terms of risk (or percent chance). They often end up interpreting odds ratios as if they were risk ratios. Unfortunately odds ratios are often much larger than the adjusted risk ratios.
When a paper reports a forty percent reduction in hospitalizations by avoiding second hand smoke, they are almost always reporting a reduction in odds, not risk. When you report with odds, the size of the effect will always be larger than if you report a risk ratio. If only one percent of people exposed to second hand smoke are hospitalized, the odds ratio and risk ratio will be pretty similar. But if 10 or 20 percent are hospitalized, the odds and risk ratio will be very different.
"It's as if you knew that someone had put their thumb on the scale, but you had no idea how hard they were pressing," Dr. Kleinman noted. "This method will enhance the capacity for researchers to communicate their findings with one another and with the lay public. It can help the press to avoid errors or misinterpretations that heretofore have been common, and at times serious. It can also help patients and their doctors to make more informed decisions."

Police: 3 pit bulls attack man, dog
Three dogs described as pit bulls attacked a 79-year-old man and his dog in in Waterloo, continuing a string of such attacks in the city.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the attack happened Wednesday while Bill Winder, of Waterloo, was walking in George Wyth State Park with his dog, Snickers.
Winder says three pit bulls attacked Snickers, a 50-pound Wheaton terrier.
While Winders tried to pull the dogs off, two women who appeared to own the dogs grabbed them and put them in a car. They refused to identify themselves and left.
Winder received 14 puncture wounds and his dog had severe bites to its neck.
Police say they haven't located the women.
After a rash of pit bull attacks, Waterloo officials are considering strengthening the city's animal ordinance.

VH1 has confirmed that Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew will not be on the schedule for 2012. While the reality show has not been officially canceled, there are no plans to film another season anytime soon. While the network claims that the decision was made in response to Dr. Drew's overly crowded schedule (he has a two other shows: his nightly Dr. Drew on HLN and his daytime talk show Lifechangers on the CW), fans still wonder if it has anything to do with the bad run of press Rehab has experienced last year. Two of its former cast members died (Mike Starr from an overdose and Jeff Conaway from complications due to his addiction). Additionally, nearly half of the footage from the fifth season of the show ended up on the cutting room floor, as it featured Michaele Salahi, who had bamboozled producers into believing that she had an addiction when in fact she did not.

'Stop playing and get serious'
Dr. Stedman Graham addressed Beaumont ISD students and faculty in a series of lectures about realizing potential and defining identity, the latter a subject on which he has taught and written books. Graham handed out his best-selling book "Teens Can Make It Happen: Nine Steps to Success" to Smith Middle School students and "Identity Passport to Freedom" to all attendees at the lectures. He discussed with them how they could achieve their goals and, ultimately, greatness — with the proper skills and confidence.
"Many of us spend years trying to find out who we are and, sadly, too many of us never do," read a quote from literature provided by Graham's student identity leadership program. "If we fail to define ourselves, we risk letting others define us by our race, gender and background. We buy into labels that keep us in a box, and as a result of those limitations, we never realize our greatest potential."
During a presentation at Smith Middle School on April 8, Graham told students gathered from local high schools that they need to establish their identities and know who they are in order to succeed in life. He mentioned the "1 percent," a term coined by the Occupy Wall Street movement reportedly used to describe the fraction of the population that accounts for more than 40 percent of the country's wealth or the 1 percent of top wage earners in the country. He said for the students to achieve their goals or to become a 1-percenter, if that is a goal, they have to learn who they are, and they have to work rather than being habitually lazy.
"If you sleep all day, watch TV all day … what happens?" Graham asked the crowd, standing in front of the Smith Middle School auditorium stage with a group of students. "You go on and on not doing anything, and nothing happens. … If you want to be part of the 1 percent, change your habits. … You gotta stop playing and get serious."
Graham encouraged the students at the program to read and not watch so much television or engage in video games. Holding up a copy of his book, he said, "Educate yourselves based on content (of books in general)."
Graham said the students needed to "compartmentalize" information in order to use the data to realize their dreams.
"You have to know what you want in life so you can organize the information around what you want," Graham instructed.
When asked what he learned at the event, BISD student Justin Guidry replied, "I learned to think outside the box."
Graham replied, "Reverse it. Think about what you want that's in the box and take what's in your mind and transfer it outside … to the world. You have the heart piece, but what are you missing? The education piece — you have to read."
BISD said 1,500 students attended the presentation over the course of the lectures. In addition to the students invited to the programs, staff also received leadership training sessions from Graham and parents and teachers attended a district-wide STAAR workshop in March. According to the district, BISD is using approximately $60,000 in various grants to cover the expense of the year-long program, and S. Graham and Associates donated approximately $45,000 of in-kind services and products to BISD.
Graham is chairman and CEO of S. Graham & Associates (SGA), a management and marketing consulting company that specializes in the corporate and educational markets. He holds a bachelor's degree in social work from Hardin-Simmons University, a master's degree in education from Ball State University and an honorary doctorate in humanities from Coker College.

Connecting Your PlayStation, Wii, or Xbox 360 to a Windows 7 Home Network
Connecting your PlayStation, Wii, or Xbox 360 console to your Windows 7 home network and a broadband Internet connection can help you take your gaming prowess to the next level. Gaming consoles can also be used for Web surfing, e-mail, movie watching, and more.
A network connection also allows you to download and install firmware (system software) upgrades for your console, keeping it up to date and adding the latest features to the console.
Don't even bother setting up your gaming console for online gaming if you don't have a broadband Internet connection. In fact, many games (and some of the gaming consoles) require a broadband Internet connection to play online.
Connecting your gaming console to a wireless home network is relatively simple. Keep in mind the following points when considering this option:
The Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 have built-in Wi-Fi networking capabilities.
All but the newest version of the Microsoft Xbox 360 requires an Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter. If you have the latest and greatest Xbox 360 console, it has built-in 802.11n wireless networking.
The Sony PlayStation 2 and original Microsoft Xbox both have built-in Ethernet ports for a wired network connection, but you'll need to buy specialized wireless adapters to connect either of these systems to a wireless network.
If you have an older-generation gaming console, you may need to purchase a Wi-Fi Ethernet bridge to connect it to your wireless home network. A bridge simply bridges the connection between a device's Ethernet port and a wireless access point.
If you have encryption (such as WPA) set up on your wireless network, you'll need to plug your bridge into a wired connection first to enter the security settings in order for it to access your wireless home network. Just follow the installation wizard or quick setup instructions that are included with your Wi-Fi Ethernet bridge.
Two examples of Wi-Fi Ethernet bridges are the D-Link DGL-3420 Wireless 108AG Gaming Adapter and the SMC SMCWEBT-G EZ Connect g Wireless Ethernet Bridge.
Not all Wi-Fi Ethernet bridges support WPA encryption. If you're using WPA on your wireless home network, make sure you choose a Wi-Fi Ethernet bridge that supports WPA.
If you happen to have a wired Ethernet connection (CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable running into a wall outlet where you're setting up your console), you can just plug the console into the network with an Ethernet patch cable. Just choose the "wired" instead of "wireless" option when setting up a wireless connection. If your console is a Nintendo Wii, you'll have to buy Nintendo's Wii LAN Adapter and plug that into a USB port on your Wii to make an Ethernet connection.

Tea, Wall Street, and Catholicism
By now, you've probably read or heard enough commentaries about why Occupy Wall Street is both the best and worst thing that could happen in America. In fact, this week at U.S. Catholic we've had blog posts by Meghan Murphy-Gill and Kevin Clarke that discussed the movement, and both posts led to various pro and con arguments about the occupiers and their agenda.
Though some hesitate to make comparisons between OWS and the Tea Party, the argument that has surrounded them in Catholic circles is strangely similar. Just about a year ago, when many Catholics were gravitating toward the Tea Party movement, some were saying that the Tea Party's ideals were at odds with Catholic teaching, which others felt the two were wholly compatible. Now we're hearing a lot of debate over the spiritual side of Occupy Wall Street, and whether their actions are an affront to religious groups or an extension in some way of Catholic beliefs. And inevitably, those whose political leanings disagree with the sentiment of whatever commentary they're reading will also bring up their usual opponents, be it the Republicans or Democrats, and point out just how anti-Catholic they are, too.
These kinds of debates can sometimes be amusing or fun to participate in. They can also be enraging, especially when someone will quote (or more often, misquote) from the Bible in an effort to show that religion and God are on their side. But even if we can often find some justification in our church's teachings for our political choices, whatever they may be, that doesn't mean there's one party that's more or less Catholic than any other.
So is the Tea Party Catholic? Sorry, but no. Does that make Occupy Wall Street Catholic? Nope. Same goes for the Republicans, Democrats, or any other party you might support along the spectrum. All probably have some ideals that can be found to be in agreement with Catholic teaching, but all parties and their members have flaws, too. It isn't too hard to find examples of church teaching that shoot holes in any party's beliefs or actions, just as you can find examples to support a party's platform. Plenty of people even spend their time shooting holes in Catholic institutions, finding ways to point out why they aren't Catholic either.
At the end of the day, there's only one leader out there who really embodies Catholic teaching without any flaws, holes, or missteps, and that's Jesus. And as he reminded us, his kingdom is not of this world. So until we get to that kingdom, we simply need to do our best to vote for and support those who we think will do the best job of bringing about the kingdom of heaven on earth. No one party or politician can do it, but we can hope for someone whose vision--whether it be about taxes, the economy, health care, or any other issue--gets us a little closer. Our faith as Catholics is meant to help us in our voting choices, not match them to a T.
And as much as we believe in the party, protest, or political movement that we agree with (and as much as we don't believe in the ones we disagree with), our attempts to label them as Catholic (or anti-Catholic) will be always be flawed as well. Try as we might, we'll never really wrap our heads around what Jesus tried to teach us, or what the kingdom of God truly looks like. After all, we're only human.

Alex Smith was essentially flawless. Frank Gore ran wild through the Packers defense. Late in the Green Bay Packers' loss to the San Francisco 49ers, we thought the Packers were lucky just to be in the game.
The Packers feel differently.
"We beat ourselves. They really didn't beat us," cornerback Jarrett Bush said after the game, via the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "We just have to hunker down and make sure we're gap sound and get on the same page. Obviously, small things being miscommunicated on the field become big things, so they exploited us and that's what happened."
Oh boy. If any of this sounds familiar, let's replay some comments from Clay Matthews this offseason about Green Bay's playoff loss to the New York Giants.
"The fact is, (the Giants) didn't beat us; we beat ourselves," Matthews told Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports.
Give us a break. The Giants and 49ers pushed the Packers around. Green Bay has lost three of its last five games. Their defense was generally awful for all of last season.
Many of the Packers -- especially the team's offense -- gave the 49ers their due credit. But there appears to be a segment of the Packers defense that remains in denial about their consistently poor play. The attitude that no other team can actually beat the Packers might be part of the problem.

It prrs when you pet it
like a mashein.
While a pupy dog jumps when you enter.
and is very active.
Which one do you think will keep us beesy for the summer?
A Brief Response by Oliver to the prompt "What is a place that makes you feel like a different person and
why how?" [he crossed out the "why" and wrote in "how"]
Usually, I'm Oliver everywhere. A place that makes me feel diffrent is Israel. It just makes me feel free and without boundaries and laws and I feel very adventurous.

Outdoor activities in Ireland
Hurling and Gaelic football are among the fastest and most physical sports in the world, and well worth catching on your travels, whether on TV or, preferably, live. Rugby and soccer are also widely followed, while going to the races is a great day out, with less of the snobbery sometimes found in Britain. Golf (see Outdoor activities) is also hugely popular north and south of the border.

Hurling and Gaelic football
Both Gaelic football and hurling, Ireland's two main indigenous sports, are played at a rollicking pace on huge pitches, 140m long and 80m wide, between teams of fifteen; goalposts are H-shaped, with three points awarded for a goal, when the ball goes under the crossbar into the net, and a point when it goes over the crossbar. Over two thousand clubs in villages and parishes all over Ireland vie for the privilege of reaching the club finals, held on St Patrick's Day at 80,000-seater Croke Park in Dublin, one of the largest stadiums in Europe (see Croke Park and the GAA Museum), while the more popular and prestigious intercounty seasons begin with provincial games in the early summer, reaching their climax in the All-Ireland County Finals in September, also at Croke Park. Details of all fixtures for hurling and Gaelic football can be obtained from the Gaelic Athletic Association (wwww.gaa.ie), while there's always something of interest on wwww.anfearrua.ie, an independent fans' forum.
Hurling is played with a leather slíothar, similar in size to a hockey ball, and a hurley (or camán), a broad stick made of ash that is curved outwards at the end. The slíothar is belted prodigious distances, caught and carried on the flattened end of the player's hurley. It's a highly skilled game of constant movement and aggression that does not permit a defensive, reactive style of play. Cork, Kilkenny and Tipperary are the most successful counties, while Clare, Galway, Offaly and Wexford have emerged in the modern era. No county from the North has ever won an All-Ireland Final, though the sport is very popular in the Glens of Antrim and parts of the Ards Peninsula in County Down. Camogie, the women's version of hurling, is becoming increasingly popular, and is also well worth watching. Dublin has won the most camogie All-Irelands, though the most successful teams in the modern era have been Cork, Kilkenny and Tipperary.
Gaelic football has similarities with both rugby and association football, but its closest relation is Australian Rules Football; indeed every autumn, Australia play Ireland in a hurly-burly series of "international rules" matches that are known for their frequent brawling. The round Gaelic ball, which is slightly smaller than a soccer ball, can be both kicked and caught. However, running with the ball is only permitted if a player keeps control by tapping it from foot to hand or by bouncing it, and throwing is not allowed – the ball must be "hand-passed", volleyball-style. Whereas hurling's strongholds are in the southern counties of the island, footballing prowess is more widely spread – Kerry is the most successful county, followed by Dublin, then Galway, but there are plenty of strong teams in Ulster at the moment, notably Tyrone.
Rugby union and soccer
Rugby union and soccer are very popular in Ireland and tickets for international matches, especially for rugby, can be hard to come by. The Republic's home soccer matches (wwww.fai.ie) and Ireland's rugby matches (wwww.irishrugby.ie) are played at Dublin's recently rebuilt Aviva Stadium (formerly Lansdowne Road). Northern Ireland's soccer matches (wwww.irishfa.com) are played at Windsor Park, Belfast. For the international rugby team, which is a joint Republic–Northern Ireland side, the main event of the year is the Six Nations Championship, a series of international games played in February and March against England, France, Wales, Scotland and Italy. You're more likely to get tickets, however, for matches featuring the four provinces, Munster (which includes Irish rugby's natural heartland, Limerick), Leinster, Connacht and Ulster, in the Europe-wide Heineken Cup or Amlin Cup or in the Magners League.
Soccer is played semi-professionally in both the North and the Republic, organized into the Carling Premiership and the Airtricity League respectively. Both international teams field most of their players from the English leagues; Manchester United and Liverpool are the most popular clubs among Irish fans. Glasgow Celtic are also popular both north and south, Rangers in the North, with support following Catholic and Protestant divisions, respectively.
Going to the races is a hugely popular and enjoyable day out in Ireland. A good place to get a sense of the Irish passion for horses is the National Stud in Kildare, while for details of all meetings, go to Horse Racing Ireland's website wwww.goracing.ie. The Irish Grand National is run at Fairyhouse in County Meath on Easter Monday Easter Monday, followed in April by the five-day Irish National Hunt Festival at Punchestown in County Kildare; at the Curragh, the classic flat-race course in Kildare, the Irish 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas are held in May, the Irish Derby in late June or early July, the Irish Oaks in July and the Irish St Leger in September. Dublin's race course is Leopardstown, while notable local meetings are held at Galway, Killarney, Listowel, Sligo and Downpatrick. One local oddity worth mentioning is the meeting at Laytown in County Meath, the last remaining beach racing under Jockey Club rules, held once a year when the tides are at their lowest.

Battle of the Coral Sea, (May 4–8, 1942) World War II naval and air engagement in which a U.S. fleet turned back a Japanese invasion force that had been heading for strategic Port Moresby in New Guinea.
By the end of April 1942 the Japanese were ready to seize control of the Coral Sea (between Australia and New Caledonia) by establishing air bases at Port Moresby in southeastern New Guinea and at Tulagi in the southern Solomons. But Allied intelligence learned of the Japanese plan to seize Port Moresby and alerted all available sea and air power. When the Japanese landed at Tulagi on May 3, carrier-based U.S. planes from a task force commanded by Rear Admiral Frank J. Fletcher struck the landing group, sinking one destroyer and some minesweepers and landing barges. Most of the naval units covering the main Japanese invasion force that left Rabaul, New Britain, for Port Moresby on May 4 took a circuitous route to the east, which invited a clash with Fletcher's forces.
On May 5 and 6, 1942, opposing carrier groups sought each other, and in the morning of May 7 Japanese carrier-based planes sank a U.S. destroyer and an oiler. Fletcher's planes sank the light carrier Shoho and a cruiser. The next day Japanese aircraft sank the U.S. carrier Lexington and damaged the carrier Yorktown, while U.S. planes so crippled the large Japanese carrier Shokaku that it had to retire from action. So many Japanese planes were lost that the Port Moresby invasion force, without adequate air cover and harassed by Allied land-based bombers, turned back to Rabaul. The four-day engagement was a strategic victory for the Allies. The battle, fought primarily between opposing aircraft and naval vessels, foreshadowed the kind of carrier warfare that later marked fighting in the Pacific War.

Action star Bruce Willis is currently working the junket circuit for his new film, Red, but that has not prevented him from talking about Sylvester Stallone's plans for The Expendables 2 - which we already know could feature Willis as the villain, if the Rocky/Rambo star gets his way.
The Expendables has to date grossed just under $250 million worldwide, so a followup seems all but assured at this point. Moviegoers were fairly receptive to the testosterone-fueled flick (read Screen Rant's Expendables review HERE), which offered plenty of good old-fashioned mindless action and explosions. The most consistent complaint that fans had about the film was that it simply did not go far enough - it needed more corny one-liners, more inspiredly silly action, more of everything.
Expendables writer/director/star Stallone seems to agree and is, according to Willis, "going for all the marbles this time, and [is] going to get everybody in ['The Expendables 2']" - and by everybody he means essentially every brawny, bad-ass action star that had their heyday on the big screen during the 1980s on through to the early 1990s.
Stallone even intends to bring back Steve Austin - whose character, you might recall, was shot dead in The Expendables. That could mean the character (Paine) himself will somehow be resurrected or that it will turn out that he has an identical twin - either way, it will be pretty contrived. Then again, isn't that quite fitting for a throwback to 1980s action films?
So what newcomers might join the Expendables crew for their second big screen outing? Steven Seagal may not be as mobile as he used to be (see last month's Machete for proof) but he seems like an obvious candidate; Jean-Claude Van Damme would probably be more receptive to signing up for the Expendables sequel than he was when Stallone approached him about the first film; and of course there's always the former Texas Ranger himself, Chuck Norris.
Arnold Schwarzenegger made an even briefer cameo appearance in The Expendables than Willis did, and it was implied that his character and Barney Ross (Stallone) had some shared history together. The current California governor might not have the time to play a larger role in the sequel, but he could at least turn in another cameo - possibly even one that goes on for longer than thirty seconds. :-P
Who do you want to see in The Expendables 2?

Kids & Money
Some colleges flunk the price calculator requirement
Here's a class that should be mandatory for college financial aid officers: College Price Calculators 101.
Over the past year, most colleges and universities — including vocational schools and community colleges — have begun placing federally mandated calculators on their websites that show the cost of attendance. The goal is to give students better estimates of what it might really cost to attend the school, based on their own financial and academic circumstances.
Never mind the often inflated sticker price. The net price should be the number to lock in on because it represents the full cost of attendance after factoring in estimated tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and other costs, along with expected grants and scholarships.
Even though the U.S. Department of Education laid out website guidelines last year for creating and posting the calculators, many schools have done a poor job on the execution, according to the Institute for College Access & Success.
In a recent review of 50 randomly selected college price calculators, the nonprofit organization found that many of these tools were hard to find, difficult to understand and essentially worthless to use.
Though acknowledging that there were some exceptional sites — among them Grinnell College in Iowa and Millikin University in Illinois — researcher and report author Diane Cheng said most calculators were "buried on college websites, had dozens of daunting questions or generated estimates that were confusing, misleading or unnecessarily out-of-date."
Specifically, the report noted, about 25 percent of the colleges reviewed did not have a link to their calculator on their website's financial aid page. Three had no net pricing tool at all.
In addition, the number of questions that students had to answer to determine their specific funding needs ranged from eight to about 70. Many of the questions required having detailed financial records in your lap while working through the process. Finally, the report said, "the majority of the calculators did not even tell students how their information would be used."
The report also addressed what schools could do to make the Web tools more effective. Most of these suggestions seem to be no-brainers:
• Prominently display and promote the net price calculator on the financial aid and cost-of-attending sections of college websites.
• Limit the number of detailed financial and academic questions that are asked to arrive at the "net" figure. An alternative: Allow students to provide estimates or choose from numeric ranges rather than entering precise figures off tax forms and other documents.
• The net price should always be the most prominent figure.
Though early versions of the college cost calculators aren't perfect, the idea is still good. When you understand the costs of attending a school, you are more likely to make a better decision.
At the very least, making the net price calculator easier to find and simpler to use would be big upgrades.

We want the letters "TS" to create the main 'meat' of the logo. Have fun and be imaginative with the typographical arrangement. One thought was overlaying the S over the long part of the T.
Something else we liked was the "sprouting" concept seen here
It goes with the overall theme of the sprouting new generation. Don't feel limited to this, it's just one idea we liked.
This font seemed to have a slight modern edge to it
And this one, a bit more sophisticated
Again these are just ideas, so don't feel like you _have_ to use any of these.
Good luck!

Liberty News
Campers enjoy skating
Sean Russell, a beginner, was excited as he put on his skates for the first time at Liberty University's LaHaye Ice Center this week, his confidence bolstered because he had never had to use a barrel to hold himself up.
"I think because of how hot it's been, the ice center is really good for us," said Russell, 14. "We get to come in and cool off and have fun. It's something we don't really get a chance to do all that often when we're at home."
Russell, from Springfield, Va. near Richmond, was one of 1,400 students attending a youth camp on Liberty's campus, organized by the Southern Baptist Conservatives of Virginia.
Most campers had only been ice-skating once or twice. They spent their afternoon testing their wings, taking a few playful spills and helping their fallen buddies back to their feet.
The campers used Liberty's residence halls and were afforded use of university facilities like the LaHaye Recreation and Fitness Center's swimming pool and basketball courts, the Thomas Indoor Soccer Center and the Liberty Mountain SnowFlex Centre (a one-of-a-kind ski and snowboard facility unique to North America, which uses synthetic material designed to simulate snow).
The ice center was the beat-the-heat destination for campers.
"With the temperatures rising, we're seeing a lot of people come indoors because quite frankly it's too hot to do anything outside, and it's too humid," said the ice center's director Kirk Handy.
Handy said this summer has been one of the ice center's busiest. Many local residents and youth camps and day schools throughout Virginia are visiting for the first time.
"People that we never see during winter time or during the school year have come out to skate. And most of those first-time people we see come back the next day and the next day," said the ice center's assistant director Tatiana Gomez.
LaHaye upgrades planned
The ice center will be closed for renovations from Thursday, July 28 -- Sunday, August 7. It will re-open on Monday, August 8.
Many improvements are planned before the school year starts: the ice will be removed, rebuilt, re-painted and resurfaced; a new Liberty Flames logo and two 40 Year Anniversary banners will be painted onto the ice; and the center will be adding two new ice resurfacing machines, new baseboards and new kick plates around the rink.
For more information, contact the LaHaye Ice Center at (434) 592-3953 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ke$ha Dismisses Misconceptions, Admits to Being 'Kissing Slut'
(LOS ANGELES) -- We're used to seeing Ke$ha running covered in glitter with no pants, but she looks like a clean-cut college girl on the cover of SELF magazine's July issue, with light makeup, neon-green hooded sweatshirt and black workout shorts. Inside, the singer dismisses many of the misconceptions about her, like the fact that people think she's a perpetually-drunk sex maniac.
Discussing the fact that she hands out condoms with her face on them at her concerts, Ke$ha tells SELF, "I think every girl should invest in a condom with her face on it -- it's super awkward and hilarious. But people think because I hand out condoms, I must be some sort of ho. That's not the case."
"I'm a little bit of a kissing slut," she continues. "But usually, I just make out and run away."
Ke$ha also says that despite her party-girl reputation, she works hard to keep fit and healthy, and you can certainly see the results in the magazine's photo spread. "People think I sit around and drink whiskey all day, but I couldn't keep up a three-month tour if I were getting hammered every night," she points out. "Training for a tour is like training for a marathon."
Ke$ha says her fitness routine includes running, rock climbing, biking, swimming, yoga and circuit training, and that "Eighty percent of the time, I watch my portions and eat veggies and lean protein."
"I...want to look good when I'm nearly naked onstage in front of thousands of people," she tells SELF about her workout goals. "I'd prefer it to be a pleasant experience when people look at me...I don't have the best body in the world, but I choose to celebrate it."

Republican and Democratic senators on Tuesday called for scandal-plagued CIA ex-director David Petraeus to testify about the deadly September 11 attack on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya.
"I believe he will (testify). I think he's a responsible person, and I believe he will come," Democrat Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said on CNN.
"So we are going to try to set that up today because his view as someone who was actually there... I think that's important for us to hear."
Feinstein said she and the committee's ranking Republican, Saxby Chambliss, were to meet later Tuesday with CIA acting director Michael Morell, who was seen arriving in the US Capitol with a large security detail that prevented reporters from approaching him.
Washington has reeled from Petraeus's shock resignation last week when it was revealed he had an affair with a married military reservist and author of a fawning biography of the general, who is also married.
Despite that scandal, lawmakers see Petraeus as potentially vital to their probe into exactly what happened in Benghazi on September 11 when four Americans were killed including the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens.
Republican Marco Rubio, who sits on the Senate's intelligence and foreign affairs committees, emerged from a classified briefing by the latter body to say there were many unanswered questions and that he hoped Petraeus and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would testify on the Libya attack.
"She has an invaluable role to play," Rubio told reporters. "I think we need to hear from David Petraeus as well."
Retiring Republican Senator Olympia Snowe also said she hoped Petraeus would testify on Capitol Hill.
"Absolutely, I think it would be critical to our efforts in the Senate Intelligence Committee" if Petraeus were to testify, Snowe told reporters.
"My understanding is he visited Benghazi to get firsthand an account and appraisal of the circumstances surrounding the horrific events on September 11 at the consulate that resulted in tragic loss of life."

"I don't know if anybody else was thinking it, but I certainly was thinking [Buchholz] had no-hit stuff today after my first AB," Johnson said.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- Kelly Johnson understood the situation when he stepped to the plate to lead off the eighth inning against Clay Buchholz in the Red Sox's 5-0 win over the Rays at Fenway Park on Sunday.
"I don't know if anybody else was thinking it, but I certainly was thinking [Buchholz] had no-hit stuff today after my first AB," Johnson said.View Full Game Coverage
The Rays trailed by four and Buchholz had not allowed a hit.
"My thinking just on how I was feeling was that I needed to do something different," Johnson said. "I put my back foot a tad closer to home plate and picked up a Sam Fuld model bat."
Buchholz threw Johnson a curve on the first pitch and came back with another on the second pitch. Johnson swung and knocked a broken-bat single into right field to break Buchholz's spell.
"He threw me two breaking balls; I really was not expecting that," Johnson said. "But I was in a good enough position the second time around to at least make some contact, even if it was a broken bat, obviously."
Buchholz said he was able to throw first-pitch curveballs for strikes on Sunday, and the second one he threw Johnson "was basically supposed to be a purpose pitch, fall right on top of the plate and see if we could get a swing."
"I didn't quite get it there, and he was able to put the bat on it," Buchholz said. "It's just one of those things."
Even though Buchholz did not bring home the second no-hitter of his young career, he did come away with his third win of the season, striking out 11 and allowing just two hits in eight innings, with 35,198 in attendance at Fenway.
In defeat, the Rays fell to 4-7 on the season and 1-4 on the current road trip. Sunday also marked Tampa Bay's second three-game losing streak of the season.
As the game progressed, the only remaining drama appeared to be whether Buchholz could become the fifth pitcher to no-hit the Rays since 2009, and the sixth to no-hit Tampa Bay in team history.
That "here we go again" feeling lived inside the Rays' dugout.
"Absolutely you reflect on it, because it's happened to us quite often, probably more than any team over the last several years," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Given the lethargic way the Rays looked on offense, Buchholz's chances appeared good. Particularly when his fielders chipped in, like they did in the sixth.
Desmond Jennings smoked a ball through the middle that Stephen Drew dove for, but could not grab. The ball ricocheted off the Red Sox's shortstop's glove to second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who threw to first to nip Jennings at the bag.
Boston's total effort gave the team its seventh win in the club's first 11 games of the season for the first time since 2007.
Alex Cobb started for the Rays and got into a jam in the third after giving up three consecutive singles to load the bases with no outs. Mike Napoli then unloaded a double to the deepest part of the ballpark at the 420-foot mark in center field to drive home two.
Cobb hit Daniel Nava to load the bases again before he caught Will Middlebrooks' one-hopper back to the mound. Everybody in the ballpark thought double play at the least, but Cobb slipped after fielding the ball. He managed to recover to throw out Pedroia at the plate.
"I think I just tried to be too quick," Cobb said. "That's exactly what I was looking for in that situation. I'm trying to get a ball on the ground, turn two. Usually I'm pretty confident in fielding my position. But right there, I tried to be too quick, which I shouldn't of. Thankfully I was able to recover a little bit and get one."
Drew then grounded to James Loney at first. Loney threw to Yunel Escobar at second, but the Rays' shortstop made a bad throw back to first. Two runs scored on the play to make it 4-0 Red Sox.
To Cobb's credit, the third inning was the only blemish on his 6 2/3-inning line, but he still took his first loss of the season.
"I think in years past, I might have let things get away a little bit, kind of caved under the pressure, versus this year, I took the pressure head on," Cobb said. "I kind of told myself not to let this happen. Not to let those games that happened in the past happen. It definitely made me angry, it made me more aggressive, probably helped a little bit."
While the Rays' pitching has remained strong, the offense continued to struggle. The team has lost five of its last six games while batting .160 with eight runs scored, no home runs and seven extra-base hits. The club has scored just 33 runs this season, its lowest total through the first 11 games of a campaign in franchise history.
"It's not a new path," Maddon said about the team's struggling offense. "It's not the road less traveled. We've been there. We know how to deal with it and we'll keep moving forward from there."

Per YouTuber kingnothing3rd, "My GF and I met this lesbian couple at the club and we were going to go to the next one with them."
Go on.
"Out of the parking lot we saw them get into a verbal confrontation with a group of people. We pulled over and tried to talk them down."
Probably the girlfriend's idea. Or maybe kingnothing3rd saw visions of sugar plums stop dancing in his head.
"That did not work."
"One of the girls stormed across the street and started pounding on the car the people got into. They ended up fighting. What you saw was the aftermath of the FIRST fight, the Silver Infiniti was trying to make its way through the intersection when the two drunk girls started pounding on their car too. I was NOT getting in the middle of this drunken fist swinging fest."
This story leaves many unanswered question, brochacho. Did you and the GF go to the other club? Did you find another lesbian couple to accompany you? Why did you find it necessary to point out their sexuality? Was it an underhanded way to explain why they were so fist adept? Or a wink-nudge to the fact that your ladyfriend is open-minded in a bed sharing and/or voyeuristic sense? She hot? She egg this fight on in any way?
Answers. Now.
Oh, fists start flying at the 1:10 mark.
As you're about to see, Daylight Savings Time was good to fans of random, domestic and/or international street and/or shantytown fighting.
In other Tuesday Night Fights action:
• This "Guy Beats On Man He Thought Was Australian" footage comes to you courtesy of the Fort Lauderdale Police. (Start of Violence, or SoV, 1:03). Also:
Police say the charming, American-Eagle-bedecked gentleman at right was standing in line at the Shell Station at 1144 S. Andrews Ave. on February 19 when he spontaneously turned around and told another man to "back up six inches." The victim, 50-year-old Michael Stocker, says the agitated man then called him a "limey fuck." When asked for
clarification, Mr. Plaid Shorts clarified that he suspected Stocker was Australian.
• An astute Philly public-transportation customer had the wherewithal to record a street fight from his perch upon the Market-Frankford El. (SoV, 0:20).
• "Here's what awaits for you. —-SLAVIC POWER—- Slavic Russian vs Caucasus pussies." (SoV, 0:30).
Your Proof That Sticks And Stones WILL Hurt You In The Shantytown Intermission:
• ABC News discovers what we 'round these parts have long known: Chuck E. Cheese is the place "Where Family Feuds at Birthday Parties Turn into Violent Brawls."
• Oklahoma lady's straight gangsta, down to the flashin' o' the signs. (SoV, 0:10).
• "1 rat told the other rat she had bad weave..........so she tore the girl tracks out." (SoV, instantly).
• Here's a wonderful story of Hobos Giving Back (SoV, 0:04). To wit:
With the armed deputy in trouble several homeless men - including Wyatt and his friend Jose Ramos - stepped in and helped to restrain Davis. Wyatt was one of several people who grabbed Davis' leg, while Ramos was the first person to jump in and helped hold Davis's arms and body.
"I'm thinking the worst scenario - was if that guy would've gotten a hold of that gun, none of us would have been here today to tell that story," Wyatt said.
Ramos, an unemployed refrigerator repairman, said he saw Davis go for the officer's gun belt.
"That's where I jumped in and said this man is gonna kill that officer," Ramos told CBS 4's Carey Codd. "I ain't gonna let that happen."
Deputy Meyer appreciated the help.
"I think they're phenomenal," Meyer said. "They didn't have to get involved and they did." [WTSP]
Your Sunday Miami Brawl Captured With Wonderful Cinematography:
• Let's watch an older gentleman beat people with a bike.
• Two things come from Texas City: raccoon recycling mascots and brawlin' high-school girls. (SoV, 0:05).
• Attempted flying kick caught by the dashboard cam in some sort of foreign land. (SoV, 0:02).
• A Sacramento store fight set to the sweet track, "Stiff-Arm The Bitch" by Pat Rich (featuring Smoov-E). (SoV, 0:37).
Your "brutální bitka" Interlude:
• Man KTFO by elephant. (SoV, 0:09).
• The moral of the story: Don't tell people in New Mexico bars that they wave like girls. Or something. Let Amanda Goodman from The Newsplex tell you more. (SoV, 0:38).
• Here's film of a murder victim's family going after the alleged killer in court. (SoV, 0:04).
• Bad-ass Russian lands a bad-ass spin kick to the ear of some mope. (SoV, 0:09).

Honey House Interiors (Slogan is: ''Bee Comfortable In Your Space"
My name is Stephen and my wife Elaine has been wanting to start an interior design business for as long as we been married. But, she has been faithfully helping me with my wedding & portrait photography business and has had absolutely no time to work on her new company logo. So, I am secretly getting her a logo made up from this site. Her business is going to be helping people re-arrange their spaces, accessorize, paint choices, etc. What she isn't going to be doing is knocking down walls or complete remodels.
Women. Just anyone in general who just bought a nice home/ condo or loft. Maybe newly wed couple, or older lady with a big mansion who watches HGTV but has no ideas. People with money and open to unique ideas.
Have at it! Get creative. Nothing to generic looking! I don't want it to look like an add for a bee-keeper. But incorporating a bee in there is okay too. Not opposed to a retro look either.
