November 11th, 2011
In some circumstances, it is simply impossible to avoid cash flow problems. When the next payday is a week away and there is nothing left with you to care for a substantial financial obligation – it is a sign of trouble. This is where the cash advance money mutual comes in. This facility is dedicated to help you meet your short-term problems of cash immediately.
The procedure is quite simple – all you need to do is ask for a temporary loan by phone or online. Once you get approved, your account will be credited the amount required. Another very important feature of payday loan is that the process does not involve any processing fees as usual.
The role of modern technology
Computers have become the most common tool that is present in every house in different forms. However, today each person has a computer and the Internet connection allowing them to perform many tasks quickly and easily. In this modern world, fax machines do not play a role as important as computers do, and therefore payday loans can be taken without any hassle.

ACU tops LSC list of 4.0 GPA athletes
July 15th, 2011
This year, ACU’s student-athletes have proved themselves to be impressive competitors on the field, earning six LSC titles, two NCAA regional titles and two national titles.
However, the students’ success in the classroom has also earned them recognition from the Lone Star Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll. More than 100 student-athletes made the 2010-11 list, and ACU had the most athletes with flawless marks, topping the list with 20 students who hold 4.0 grade point averages.
“I’m extremely proud of each of our student-athletes who have been recognized by the LSC for their excellence in the classroom,” says Jared Mosley, ACU’s director of athletics. “The discipline and effort it takes to balance the number of demands on a college student-athlete are extremely challenging.”
ACU has a long history of academic excellence in its athletic programs.

A Look at the First Airing of ‘Sports Medicine Weekly’
July 3rd, 2011
Dr. Brian Cole
The Chicago Bulls are off to an inconsistent start to their Eastern Conference finals series with the Miami Heat. However, their team physician, Dr. Brian Cole, a faculty member at Rush University Medical Center, had a smooth radio debut.
Cole, who continues to look over the health of a Bulls team that is tied 1-1 in its series with the Heat, provided plenty of sports injury advice and fantasy sports injury insight, while also talking with guest specialists on the first “Sports Medicine Weekly” program, which aired last Saturday from 7-8 a.m. on ESPN’s Chicago affiliate, WMVP-AM. The show will continue in that time slot for 11 more weeks, giving weekend warriors a window to soak up knowledge from a physician who treats some of the world’s top athletes.
These players are no different than our patients,” Dr. Cole said. “These injuries are no different than anything anyone else would sustain.”
A highlight of the show was the fantasy sports segment, which will be a weekly feature.

Revolutionary Treatment for Brain Aneurysms
July 1st, 2011
Dr. Demetrius Lopes
Physicians at Rush University Medical Center are offering a new and effective treatment to patients suffering from complex brain aneurysms. The recently FDA-approved technology, called the Pipeline Embolization Device (PED), gives doctors the ability for the very first time to treat some of the most complex and dangerous brain aneurysms with the use of minimally invasive techniques.
The treatment is focused on reconstruction or remodeling of the weak blood vessel harboring the brain aneurysm.
The Pipeline Device may offer improved patient results with a safe and effective treatment of large or giant, wide-necked aneurysms, which until now has been an unmet clinical need,” said Dr. Demetrius Lopes, neuroendovascular surgeon at Rush University Medical Center. “We are able to help people who did not have a better option and would otherwise die without treatment.”
Rush is the only hospital in Illinois and one of only seven medical centers in the U.S.

Twitter Done Right: Times Higher Education #highered
July 1st, 2011
Ive been following for a bit now. It gives me something to read in TweetDeck when I drink my morning coffee (as its on London time) and provides an interesting window on higher ed issues in the UK and the rest of Europe.
Since I started to follow THE, Ive noticed something very different on the way this higher ed weekly magazine handles its Twitter communications. Last week when I saw referring to a contest THE ran on Twitter, I thought it would be interesting to learn a bit more on how this is done behind the scene.
Sarah Cunnane, the person behind THE Twitter account, was kind enough to answer a few of my questions via email.
1) Can you please tell us a bit more about Times Higher Education (THE)?
Certainly. Times Higher Education is a weekly magazine based in Britain reporting on global higher education issues. We started off as the Times Higher Education Supplement in 1971 and we were originally a newspaper published alongside the Times of London.
