Kate Hudson attends the “Something Borrowed” Los Angeles Premiere on May 3, 2011 in Hollywood, California.

Kate Hudson looked positively glowing in her sunflower yellow halter maxi dress at the premiere for her latest film “Something Borrowed.” Not only is she pregnant with her second child, but she recently announced her engagement as well. The dress complimented Hudson in a way that was so spring/summer yet bohemian glam at the same time.

After her last pregnancy, in which she gained a lot of weight and did not know how to put herself together at all, it was a question of how she’d handle this pregnancy. She did a great job and her all over glow is something definitely to be “something borrowed.” Co-star Ginnifer Goodwin went the complete opposite way by showing of her pixie cut that she has become somewhat of an icon for. This time, however, she channeled her inner Adam Lambert and looked more punk rock than glam. Her punk hair was complimented with a skintight mini dress that helped flatter her hair as much as possible.

Actress/Producer, Hilary Swank shined in a shimmery pink, long-sleeved jumpsuit, with flattering waves, definitely getting high marks for understated glamour. John Krasinski is always dashing and happy so he helped compliment the beautiful ladies of the evening, especially Kate Hudson, who for sure, stole the show. But, newly engaged Kristin Cavallari cannot be ignored for her summery white tube, fitted dress and wedge heels. She had the same glow as Hudson, the two could have even been mistaken for family. Overall, glam night.

Pickaway County pushes college as key to good jobs. here ohio christian university

The Columbus Dispatch (Columbus, OH) August 31, 2006 Byline: Kelly Hassett Aug. 31–Pickaway County Commissioner Ula Jean Metzler knows firsthand what a difference a college education makes.

Metzler and her brother were the first ones in her family to go to college, and she wants others to have the opportunities a post-high-school degree offers.

She and other county officials have teamed up with Columbus State Community College and Ohio University to bring college courses to Pickaway County, where only 11 percent of residents 25 or older have a bachelor’s degree. The statewide number is just over 21 percent.

Commissioners voted this year to form a committee to study the idea, and representatives from the two schools held an open house at Teays Valley High School in August for residents who were interested in pursuing higher education.

Pickaway County historically relied on a strong manufacturing base to sustain its economic health.

But the area has lost about 2,000 jobs from plant closings and layoffs since 2001. Now officials are trying to lure jobs and schools in their place.

The initiative involves hiring an education-improvement coordinator in the fall to go into local schools and counsel students on the benefits of college.

Metzler said that culturally in Pickaway County some families haven’t placed a priority on going to a university because manufacturing jobs at one point paid well.

Counseling students as young as middle-school age — and their parents — is crucial to breaking that cycle, she said.

Equally important is bringing in new, higher paying jobs so people won’t have to leave Pickaway County to put their degree to use, Metzler said.

Residents could start as early as January with general-education courses from Columbus State, which offers an associate’s degree, said Provost Kay Adkins.

College officials plan to meet with business leaders for their input on technical courses, and with county residents to gauge their interests, she said. ohiochristianuniversitynow.net ohio christian university

Ohio Christian University, formerly Circleville Bible College, is the only school based in Pickaway County. The school currently has about 450 students, according to its Web site.

Just getting to class is a major challenge for many Ohioans who don’t live near a college campus, said David Descutner, dean of University College and associate provost for undergraduate studies at Ohio University.

Bringing courses to residents, whether for an associate’s or bachelor’s degree, often eases most of the frustration for people who want to advance, Descutner said.

“Then they find out, ‘I can do this work,’ ” he said.
