The Illinois Fire Service Institute has created a database of firefighters who died in the line of duty going back 150 years:
"IFLODD, the Illinois Firefighter Line of Duty Deaths Digital Image Collection Database, documents the ultimate sacrifice of more than 800 Illinois firefighters over the past 150 years. Providing access to this history memorializes the firefighters, increases awareness of their sacrifice, and supplies contemporary firefighters with valuable "lessons learned" from the various deaths."
Some entries just have very basic information about the circumstances of the death, while others include photographs and oral history presented as audio and text.

Scoot: Should Mardi Gras include political satire?
by Scoot
posted Feb 24 2017 12:23PM
Entertainment reflects society. That statement is as complicated as it is simple.
Media, movies, TV shows, music, talk radio, social media and every medium represent trends in society. There is little doubt that we are currently living in the most turbulent political times in modern history and that, in and of itself, is a statement about American society. So, we should not be surprised that the political satire of Mardi Gras 2017 reflects the divisiveness of America and is attracting controversy.
Political satire is part of Mardi Gras and even if there isn't more of it this year, the fact that Americans are so sensitive about their political views in 2017 means that any satire will attract more attention and open any political wounds.
Mardi Gras 2001 could have had 5 satirical floats about President George W. Bush and they would not have attracted the attention of 1 satirical float about President Trump would today. That's the result of the great American divide.
There have always been contentious presidential elections, but the tension in the country today is created by the political territorialism that exists. Holding different political views is as old as America, but the lack of acceptance of differing political views has never been as great as it is today.
From social to political issues, the protective attitude many Americans have toward their political territory has created an atmosphere that can best be described as "un-American." The lack of respect for differing opinions and ideologies defies the spirit of America.
Whether it's a costume on Mardi Gras Day, or a float or marching group in a parade, that insults your political views, remember that this is Mardi Gras time and it's not necessary to protect your political territory.
If you can't have fun and a sense of humor during Mardi Gras in New Orleans – stay home! Or at least, shut up! (Even though you are entitled to your opinions!)

Scoot: Who is the enemy of the American people - the media or Trump?
by Scoot
posted Feb 20 2017 12:16PM
"The FAKE NEWS media (failing NYT, CNN, NBC and many more) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the America people. SICK!"
That was a tweet President Trump sent out Friday as he continues to ramp up his war against the media.
Shortly after sending that original tweet, President Trump edited the tweet by dropping the word "SICK" and adding ABC and CBS to the list of failing media.
Is the new media really the "enemy of the American people?" From the perspective of President Trump, the answer is "yes!" However, beyond Trump's inner circle and beyond Trump's most loyal followers, the news media is more the savior than the enemy of the America people. Judging the news media as a group is subject to bias.
The news media has its faults. There should be no doubt that certain stories get more attention and certain angles are applied to make stories more sensational and more reflective of the divide in America. Stories demonstrating unity over divide don't attract as much attention as those that ignite the national narrative, whether that narrative is real or rhetoric.
Advertising often uses the technique of repetition of a phrase, even if the phrase if not 100% accurate. There is a tendency by many to accept as fact something that is repeated over and over, even if that which is being repeated is not factual. President Trump appears to be using this tactic in his war on the media.
The news media deserves criticism, but to state that the news media is the "enemy of the American people" is designed to create unfair distrust from an institution that has a right and a responsibility to question authority – even the President of the United States.
Up to this point, President Trump may be winning the early war on the media, and only time will tell whether the media or the President is right or wrong. History is littered with presidents that rejected criticism from the media, only to be shown that the criticism was justified.
It is interesting to consider that so much of the information, including the rhetoric, President Trump presents to the American people comes from the source of the news media. The President is condemning the institution that is providing him with the information he needs to continue to fight a popularity contest.
At a campaign rally in Florida over the weekend, President Trump referenced a terrorist attack in Sweden the night before. When it was quickly determined that there was no terrorist attack in Sweden the night before, it was revealed that President Trump was referring to a report he had seen on the Fox News Channel.
Fox News host Chris Wallace challenged White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus over the weekend about President Trump's declaration that the news media is the "enemy of the American people." Priebus made the point that less attention was paid to the positive news about Trump's early days in the White House then negative stories, like Trump campaign officials talking to Russian officials during the campaign. Chris Wallace told the White House Chief of Staff, "You don't get to tell us what to do any more than Barack Obama did. Barack Obama whined about Fox News all the time. But I gotta say, he never said that we were an enemy of the people."
We have a president and a White House that is attempting to control the news media. Ironically, it has been idea of the "liberal media" controlling the minds of the American people that have been the focal point of much fear.
When the President declares that the news media is the "enemy of the American people," the news media needs to fight back and prove that its role in politics in America is vital to our freedom.

Scoot: What if Obama had called Fox News "fake media?"
by Scoot
posted Feb 16 2017 12:34PM
The sh*t would have hit the fan if President Obama had praised CNN and MSNBC while bashing Fox News as "fake media," but that is essentially what President Trump is doing by praising FNC and labeling their competitors as fraudulent.
I realize that I'm taking a chance on offending many Trump supporters with my professional observation about the media. It's easy to discredit the expertise of anyone you disagree with, but my 40 years of experience on the air and studying the relationship between mass media and society does allow me to have an educated opinion on media matters.
Perhaps I'm not 100% correct, but my professional observations are inspired by what I see and hear and not by any personal grudge against President Trump. Any conscious listener appreciates that my show takes positions about the issues, regardless of political affiliation.
That being said - President Trump is turning the Fox News Channel into an extension of the executive branch of government. The benefit for Fox News is the anticipation of expanding its lead over competitors, and that is based on the assumption that enough Americans will tune in to watch a pro-Trump spin on the news. Fox News has been complicit in creating a "safe zone" for President Trump and in return, the President appears to be favoring Fox to the point that if President Obama did the same with CNN and MSNBC, the criticism from Fox News viewers and right wing radio talk show hosts would have been loud and relentless.
This op-ed blog is not an attempt to bash President Trump – it is an honest observation about the scary reality of a biased media going so far as to become an extension of the executive branch. The one thing that continues to distinguish media in America from media in many countries around the world is that our media is free from government control.
What happens if our media volunteers to become part of the ruling class in our government?
As I have argued many times, Fox News has every right to be biased in favor of conservatives, but if Fox News does accommodate a pro-Trump stance
if the President continues to show extreme favoritism to that cable news network, and the Fox News ratings grow, then we can conclude that many Americans defy their own claim to want a media that is not biased.

Scoot: For the first time, I'm deeply concerned about America
by Scoot
posted Feb 15 2017 12:02PM
It is not my intent to offend the many Trump supporters that are a regular part of the afternoon audience of our show on WWL. However, failing to be honest about any political controversy would disqualify me as a credible radio talk show host.
Throughout the presidential campaign and in the weeks following the inauguration of President Trump, I have always strived to talk objectively about then-candidate and now President Donald Trump. In doing so, I have been accused of blind support for Trump as well as unfairly bashing him. But that comes with the job of not being a "cheerleader" for the right or the left, and I willingly accept that as the reality of how I choose to do my job.
The current controversy over reports that top advisers to Trump were in constant communications with high-ranking Russian officials known to U.S. intelligence officials - during the campaign - raises serious questions about Donald Trump's relationship with Russia and cannot be passed off as a politically motivated attack from the liberal media.
The questions about the possibility that Donald Trump has a financial relationship with Russia, or is beholden to Russia for assisting him in winning the election, have suddenly turned into legitimate questions that can no longer be dismissed as a left wing liberal media conspiracy to delegitimize the Trump presidency.
There has been a lot of speculation as to why Trump, as a candidate and now as president, seemed to stop short of ever criticizing Russian President Putin. Does the new information about close contact between Trump's top advisers and high-ranking Russian officials explain Trump's reluctance to go negative on Putin? Perhaps.
And oh the hypocrisy! The Trump White House is now saying that it is the leaks that are the real problem. When the Clinton campaign focused on the leaks of information about emails over the content of the emails, Trump and his supporters condemned Democrats for blaming the leaks and not the content of the emails for her campaign failings.
Now, The Trump Administration is pointing to the leaks as the real problem and not the alleged close and constant contact between Trump advisers and Russian officials. The hypocrisy is so obvious, but so many will refuse to see beyond their bias.
There must be an intensive investigation into Donald Trump and his relationship with Russia. Imagine the perils this nation would face if any president would make decisions and act according to his own personal/business interests over what is in the best interest of the American people.
For the first time, I am deeply concerned about the direction of this country. I'm concerned about the political manipulations on the part of the Administration, ranking Republicans and a large segment of the American voters. And yes, the voters on both sides of the political aisle are participating in the slow demise of America.
Bias is blurring the reality of politics and that is tearing our country apart and there seems to be no end in sight. And before you blame the politicians and the media – look in the mirror and consider how you may be contributing to this mess in America.
Allowing bias over reality to shape opinions is a fundamental concern for what will make America great again!

Scoot: The media and President Trump are both at fault
by Scoot
posted Feb 13 2017 12:01PM
One of the dominant news stories over the weekend was the story about the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids that led to the deportation of over 350 illegal immigrants in 12 states. The majority of those arrested were convicted felons, but the raids did include the arrest of some illegal immigrants with no criminal record.
The left blamed the new Trump Administration for sweeping through communities and rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants and the news media was quick to ride that wave, even while softly reporting that the raids had been planned under the Obama Administration.
The news media, in general, enhanced the angle that new raids under the new Trump Administration resulted in the immediate deportation of illegal immigrants. However, the information that the raids had been in the planning stages for months before Trump became president seemed less important. This further demonstrates that the media, the politicians and the public feed the more sensational side of news stories.
But the Trump Administration confused the story about the raids on illegal immigrants by saying that the raids were part of the new aggressive attitude of the Trump Administration and a fulfilling of Trump's campaign promise to deport illegal immigrants.
The argument that the ICE raids were planned under President Obama was in defense of President Trump – then President Trump says that his administration was responsible for the raids. Well, which is it?
Both sides are using immigration, like every other controversy, for political gain. And here's a fact that defies the political rhetoric on both sides –
President Obama has
deported more illegal immigrants than any other president!
In 2014, the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Latino advocacy organization,
named President Obama "the
and demanded the pace of deportations under Obama cease.
That condemnation of President Obama did not benefit the left's image of being tolerant of illegal immigrants or the right's view that the Obama Administration was allowing illegal immigrants to openly come to America, where they will be protected once in this country.
The right has used the illegal immigrant issue to attract votes from Americans who are more apt to believe perception than reality, so the idea that President Obama was deporting more illegal immigrants than any other president did not support their agenda.
There are also statistics that contradict the widespread belief that illegal immigrants are flooding across our border to the south. The stats show that more immigrants are leaving America than entering – a trend that predates Trump becoming president.
With the media and politicians – facts are either convenient or inconvenient. But facts should be
The news media and President Trump's handling of the weekend raids on illegal immigrants perfectly illustrates how the media and politicians use the media to brainwash us to secure their own selfish political power.
Sadly, the American public is contributing to this disturbing trend through the process of
"confirmation bias"
– the belief in what fits one's preconception over reality.

Scoot: Does a full moon really make people crazy?
by Scoot
posted Feb 10 2017 12:54PM
Tonight a full moon will hang in the sky and there will be much speculation that it will have an effect on human behavior. But does a full moon really inspire lunacy? I did some research and discovered some interesting information about full moons and human behavior.
The moon has always been a mystical object in the sky to humans and even though man has walked on the moon, the mystery of the moon is still present today.
The word "lunacy" comes from Luna, the Roman Goddess of the Moon. One definition of "lunacy" is those moments of insanity believed to be related to the phases of the moon. A person who is acting in a crazy or abnormal manner is often described as a 'lunatic.' In 19th-Century England, lawyers actually used the defense of "not guilty by reason of the full moon" to prove that their clients should not be held responsible for their crimes.
The relationship between the moon and human behavior is well documented. A Roman scientist and military commander believed that the full moon created a heavy dew, which made the brain extremely moist and affected behavior. The power of a full moon to turn a human into a werewolf has been part of a literary myth since 1941.
It's easy to understand how the full moon got this image. Before modern lighting, the light of a full moon kept people awake at night and the lack of sleep led to behavior that was out of the ordinary. The full moon also provided light for people to carry on drinking and participate in general debauchery well into the night.
The phases of the moon affect the tides of the oceans, and the body is 65% to 75% water. So, does the moon affect the human body? Full moons have been blamed for increases in violent crime, suicides, epileptic seizures, sleep deprivation, births and even deaths.
But is a full moon to blame for abnormal behavior in humans? The answer seems to be no! Despite the belief by some police offices, ER nurses and doctors, mental health professionals and the general public that strange behavior increases during a full moon, there are no studies to support the myth that a full moon actually has the power to make people do crazy things. There have been a few studies over a 50-year period that established some correlation between a full moon and abnormal behavior, but follow-up studies have proven the original conclusions to be false.
Romanticize about a full moon and perpetrate the mysterious powers a full moon has on human behavior, but insisting that a full moon enhances deviant behavior can be link to the workings of a lunatic mind!

Scoot: Is President Trump making politics entertaining?
by Scoot
posted Feb 9 2017 12:54PM
Yesterday during the show, I received texts from listeners who were commenting on how the show was so much "fun" to listen to, because some of the callers were ignoring reality and adamantly defending President Trump. One text said that his co-workers wanted to know why he was literally and figuratively LOL (laughing out loud) in the workplace, and he explained that he was listening to our show on WWL.
Other texts suggested that some of the callers were turning the show into what seemed more like satire than political talk. Recently, the creators of "South Park," Trey Parker and Matt Stone, announced they would no longer be satirizing President Trump because they just couldn't keep up with all that was coming from the White House and that the comedy being produced by the Trump Administration was better then anything they could create. One of the TV shows known for its topical satire is stepping back - and allowing the reality of the Trump Administration to entertain instead!
I would not go so far as to describe what is coming from the White House as "comedy," but much of what we are witnessing is bizarre. I'm not referring to the aggressive pace of the early days of the Trump Administration and the fulfilling of many campaign promises, which may be setting a new standard for the immediate work load of future presidents - I'm referring to everything else.
The recent tweet from President Trump bashing Nordstrom's for dropping his daughter Ivanka's clothing and accessory line, the negative comments about the judges ruling on his temporary travel ban and the numerous verbal faux pas from the Administration that defy facts are all of the things that give the perception of political reality turning into political comedy. Since what some perceive as comedy is indeed political reality – there's really nothing funny about it!
Donald Trump was elected President of the United States because he was a political outsider that represented change and what we are seeing are changes that should have been anticipated from a political neophyte. Presidential etiquette is being broken and that in and of itself is not a bad thing, but when the President of the United States uses the power of his office to publically condemn a major retail store for a business decision that negatively impacts his own daughter, who is an active part of the Administration, we all get a better glimpse into what really drives President Donald Trump.
As a father, I understand the parental instinct to protect your children, but Donald Trump, the man, should distinguish between his role as a father and business owner from his role as President of the United States.
President Trump used the power of his office to inflict public damage to a major retail chain because he was personally offended by the company's rejection of his daughter's clothing line.
In a statement, Nordstrom's said Ivanka's clothing line was discontinued due to sagging sales. Whether that's true or not does not change the right Nordstrom's has to freely decide what clothing lines it carries. Only time will tell whether dropping Ivanka's line was a positive or negative move for the store. Some will be happy and some will be angry. I would think that for those who are interested in buying and wearing Ivanka's clothes and accessories, online sales might skyrocket.
The point is that Ivanka Trump is an official part of the Trump Administration and is therefore not immune from the wrath of politics and even comedy. That's a reality that comes with the conscious decision to be part of the political system.
We often hear people say, "The government should be run like a business." But the innate nature of government is definitely different from business. As a businessman, Trump is used to the option of seeking revenge when it comes to dealing with those with whom he disagrees or the ultimate action of, "You're fired!"
Serving all of the people of the United States as President requires a different set of skills, not the least of which is the ability to understand that criticism and compromise are part of the job.
The tragedy in all of this is that we are reminded that politics has infiltrated into every aspect of our lives. Political stances have caused us to choose or boycott certain fast food businesses. And now, we are being challenged with thinking about political positions when we shop for clothes. Sad!

Scoot: Trump's "war on the media" suffers casualty
by Scoot
posted Feb 8 2017 12:00PM
President Donald Trump's
war on the media
suffered a significant casualty in a recent strategic attack. Speaking to U.S. soldiers at the U.S. Central Command in Florida this week, the President said that the media is covering up terrorist attacks and said the soldiers at U.S. Central Command "understand why."
First of all, it is inconceivable that the media, which thrives on breaking news and the extended follow up, would purposely fail to cover a news story that would potentially yield massive attention-grabbing coverage. Secondly, there is a disconnect between President Trump's assertion that the media is covering up terrorist attacks, and the fact that the media has covered terrorist attacks.
President Trump has a right to call out the media for its many flaws, but the invention of facts to discredit the media will only weaken the President's position.
President Trump, like President Obama, has loyal followers who will believe anything he says and condemn any source that uses legitimate information to discredit an absurd assumption. Those are the American voters who demonstrate that you have a right to believe things that are not factual because that's what you want to believe, but belief is something that is simply not true does not make it any more true. It could be called an "alternative fact."
The media put itself in the position of being criticized for its strongly biased coverage of the news, and the media should do a better job of presenting the news objectively. The exceptions are the radio and TV talk shows that are driven by opinions. This is a segment of the media that should be immune from criticism of bias.
Too many Americans lump all media into one group and that's a problem. If CNN was criticized for being the
"Clinton News
then today, it's fair to describe the Fox News Channel as
"Trump TV."
But the shows on the cable news networks are different from the presentation of news within the format of a newscast. It is clearly up to the viewers to understand and make that distinction.
President Trump's insistence that the only reason he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton was because of massive voter fraud has no credibility - even among many Republicans.
President Trump is creating the
"fake news"
he condemns when he says something that cannot be backed up with facts. The President has been taking advantage of the public's negative overall image of the media, but as time goes on, the President will only enhance the media's credibility by spouting ridiculous claims for the sole purpose of bashing the media.
Since the loyalists to President Trump will not see the truth – it's up to the rest of us to hold the media and the President accountable. The time is coming when even some Trump supporters will start to question many of the charges President Trump wages against the media because of the false precedent he is setting.
The media can be rightly criticized on many fronts – so why is President Trump so intent on fabricating scenarios outright to fit his narrative?

Scoot: Our new President and the rise of "alternative facts"
by Scoot
posted Jan 23 2017 12:04PM
America has a new president and a new phrase that suddenly became a trending item over Donald Trump's first weekend as President of the United States. The new phrase is "alternative facts."
President Trump's inaugural audience was the largest to witness an inauguration – period.
President Trump's inaugural audience was not the largest to witness an inauguration.
The dishonest news media started the crowd controversy to bash President Trump.
President Trump started the controversy over crowd size on Inauguration Day.
Sunday, on NBC's "Meet The Press," Trump Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway justified White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's statement that the crowd at President Trump's Inaugural Address was "the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration. Period!"
Conway fired back at "Meet The Press" host Chuck Todd saying that the Trump Administration, which was upset over media reports that the inaugural crowd was not as large as the one that witnessed President Obama's inauguration in 2009, gave "alternative facts" to Spicer that supported his statement.
What are "alternative facts?" That phrase became a hot item to be Googled over the weekend because people were not sure of its meaning. Using common sense one might deduce that an "alternative" to a "fact" is something that is not a fact, but we all know how rare the practice of using common sense is today.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's insistence that President Trump drew the largest crowd in U.S. inaugural history may have been an attempt to divert attention away from the millions of people that were participating in anti-Trump marches in American and around the world. The assertion that the Trump crowd was the largest was so absurd that it did get a lot of news media and social media attention, but there was still significant focus on the marches.
Facts that do not favor President Trump are simply falsehoods, or fake news, designed to show media bias against the President.
The news media's collective bias should not render the reporting of facts insignificant.
It's appropriate for President Trump to challenge media bias, but the danger comes in the form of rallying his troops to dismiss any facts that shed a negative light on the new administration.
From the beginning, the role of the news media has always been to fact check the president and all government officials. The origin of the press was founded on the idea that an outside group must hold the government accountable for the citizens. Fact checking is not a new trend that was born during the era of biased media. Its roots can be traced back to the role of the press in American society.
The age-old question of whether "size matters" is usually confined to the physical proportions of the male anatomy and there is considerable debate over the importance of size, but throughout the campaign and now continuing into the early days of his presidency, Donald Trump has shown a pattern of the significance he places on crowd size, which could be interpreted as a need for instant gratification.
During the campaign, Trump was right to point out the large crowds he was attracting because it seemed the news media, in general, avoided showing that overwhelming support. It was a fact that, as a candidate, Trump was attracting record crowds, but as a new president, it was a fact that he did not draw the largest crowd in the history of inaugurations and that was something Trump, himself, was not willing to accept.
The controversy over crowd size on Inauguration Day is insignificant in the face of more important issues, but the fact that President Trump ignored facts about crowd size to promote that he attracted the largest crowd ever is very significant. And what is especially significant about it is the idea that people may learn to ignore facts that are inconvenient or contrary to the Trump Administration's popularity.
Facts cannot be dismissed simply because someone doesn't like what the facts represent. The fact is, it doesn't matter and shouldn't matter to Trump or anyone if he attracted the largest inaugural crowd in history. The fact is that Donald Trump is President of the United States and his infatuation with insignificant matters is a troubling sign.
This is just the beginning of the new Trump Administration and it is possible that President Trump will evolve into a president that becomes less focused on the little things, like size.
Maybe these are the innocent consequences of electing a person who is not a politician and has never been in public office, but the public and the press can and should hold any president to acknowledging the facts.
Facts are important and efforts to use media bias to dismiss basic facts are a move to dismantle the role of a news media that is uniquely free from government control.
For those who still may not be clear on what is meant by "alternative facts..."

Scoot: "Hidden Figures" and race issues in America's space race
by Scoot
posted Jan 17 2017 12:38PM
"Hidden Figures" is a movie that brings new emphasis to the word "race" in America's space race in the late-50s and early-60s. It is also a movie that deserves credit for being the first movie since "Good Will Hunting" to make mathematical calculations riveting and suspenseful on the big screen.
"Hidden Figures" is based on the true story of three African-American women whose intellect combined with their strong perseverance demonstrated the immoral flaws of segregation. The movie tells the story of Katherine Goble (played by Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (played by Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Played by Janelle Monae).
In 1962, two years before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and ten years before the Women's Lib Movement, Goble, Vaughn and Jackson were, indeed, hidden figures as they worked in the segregated background of the Space Task Force on NASA's Friendship 7 program.
During the height of the Cold War, Russia beat the U.S. into space with the successful launching into orbit of the Sputnik 1 satellite. In addition to the concerns of spying on America, there was also the real fear that the Russians had the capability of putting an atomic bomb in space that could be dropped on the United States.
As a young child, I was well aware of the fear of a nuclear war with Russia through the news that was on every night in our house and the conversations my parents had with neighbors. One night, I recall standing in an open field with my Dad as we watched Sputnik 1 travel over America. The satellite appeared only as a star moving across the sky, but my young mind was smart enough to sense what this meant to our safety. The fact that you could best see Sputnik 1 at night made it all the more eerie.
At a time when African-Americans were still not treated as equals, the important role three African-American women played in the U.S. catching up with Russia in the strategic space race underscores the reality of the moral and legal mistreatment of fellow American citizens.
"Hidden Figures" also reminds us that today's Baby Boomer establishment has first hand experience with the unjust treatment of African-Americans. While much has changed, the racial scars of our past are worn by many adults today.
The storyline of the movie, which was the storyline of real lives, accents the strength and determination of black Americans in the face of discrimination, but it is also important to notice that the battle was never purely black vs. white because the white supervisors of the three women ultimately recognized how their talents and abilities were juxtaposed to their unequal status. As is the case today, there are many white Americans who continually fight the injustices against black Americans.
Head of the NASA engineering department in charge of calculating the mathematics that would be used to launch a man into space and to orbit the Earth, Al Harrison (played by Kevin Costner) understood that Katherine Goble was more intelligent in the discipline of math than NASA's white head engineer, Paul Stafford, (played by Jim Parsons of "The Big Bang Theory"). Upon learning that Katherine Goble was taking 40 minute breaks because she was forced to walk, and sometimes run, a great distance to another building just to use the restroom, Harrison took a sledge hammer and literally knocked down the sign that designated the restroom for "colored women" and said that the policy ends there and anyone can use any restroom at any time. There were many not-so-subtle signs of segregation in the movie while the movie painted a bigger picture of how wrong separate-but-equal was in American society.
"Hidden Figures" tells a compelling story of victory over racial injustice, but it also captures the tense excitement of the race into space. The movie does an excellent job of documenting the politics and the panic behind the Russians beating the U.S. into space and the scenes with astronauts and their capsules hurling through space achieve cinematic realism. The capsule and space scenes rival similar scenes in the movie "Apollo 13."
Katherine Goble's story also includes the heartwarming chapter in her life and the life of her children when an extraordinary man came into their lives and she became Katherine Goble Johnson.
While orbiting the Earth, a problem with Astronaut John Glenn's (played by Glenn Powell) capsule necessitated that his scheduled number of orbits be cut to three and new calculations were desperately needed to get him back safely. Katherine Goble Johnson had been advised that she was no longer needed after the launch because of upcoming cutbacks to the space program, but at the request of John Glenn, Al Harrison brought her back and she was the one who recalculated the figures that led to Glenn's safe return to Earth.
Since Hollywood often takes creative license with true stories, I cannot be sure what John Glenn's exact words were, but in the movie when he realized new calculations were needed to bring him back he ordered Harrison to get "the smart one" to figure it out. The recognition of Katherine Goble Johnson as "the smart one" rather than the black woman, seemed to summarize the movie's theme of not judging people by the color of their skin.
"Hidden Figures" has a message for everyone. In particular, to white America, the message is that it has always been unfair to judge a person by the color of their skin. For black America, the message is to stand up for and be proud of equality, but also recognize that many white Americans that were always on your side of this debate.
"Hidden Figures" brings to light an endearing chapter in race relations in America.

Center for Weight Management and Weight Loss Surgery
Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate at Hallmark Health System
"A" grade for patient safety from The Leapfrog group
Douglas, undaunted.
Marathon runner Douglas Gray, 37, of Medford, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes two years ago, but with the help and expertise of The Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate at Hallmark Health System (HHS) he has curbed the disease's impact on his life. The Center is located at Lawrence Memorial Hospital of Medford (LMH).
Gray, who runs 10-miles round trip to and from his job as the Rooms Controller at the Boston Marriott Cambridge in Kendall Square each day and competes in marathons and other long-distance races, works closely with the Center's staff, including his endocrinologist Dr. Sunita Schurgin, to monitor and maintain his blood sugar levels. He also has to maintain his health to keep up with his wife Natasha and their son Timur, 5 ½.
Gray was "shocked" when he was diagnosed with diabetes, especially because the disease doesn't run in his family. He'd been having trouble staying hydrated, but didn't think much of it because he had been running a lot. It wasn't until his vision started to decline that he decided to see his primary care physician. "I was completely blindsided," said Gray. "I assumed I was over training."
But Gray hasn't let diabetes slow him down. He completed his first 50-mile race in September and is training for a 100-mile race in May. Gray makes sure to adjust his insulin if he's going on a really long run and also never runs without glucose gel, which he could take if his sugar level starts to drop.
Gray was happy to learn the hospital was affiliated with The Joslin Diabetes Center and has continued to be impressed with the clinical expertise of the staff. He said he definitely made the right choice in selecting HHS for his diabetes care. "I couldn't ask for more," said Gray when asked about the Center's staff. "I have the ultimate confidence in Dr. Schurgin and her clinical colleagues at the Center."
The Joslin Diabetes Center Affiliate at Hallmark Health System, which opened at LMH in 2011, brings the expertise of the world's preeminent diabetes research and clinical care organization to the community. Patients can now receive the most up-to-date diabetes and endocrinology treatment without traveling into Boston. The Center builds on HHS's solid reputation for comprehensive, patient-centered diabetes and endocrinology care while offering patients the latest advances for treating diabetes and its complications as well as patient education.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital (LMH) is a 134-bed acute care hospital offering a range of medical services including Urgent Care Center, emergency care, cardiology, oncology/hematology, day surgery, general and specialty surgery, acute medical services, geriatrics, medical-psychiatry, Center for Weight Management and Weight Loss Surgery and comprehensive diagnostic and outpatient services.
LMH physicians are rated among the best in Massachusetts. The LMH Independent Physician Association (IPA) ranked among the top four in the 2002 Tufts Health Plan assessment of over 83 groups. Residents from some of the top medical schools in the country come to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

DANANG, Vietnam — The Vietnamese military showed an unprecedented amount of leg here Thursday.
It sought to catch the eye of Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the first of his kind to visit the Communist country since its founding — and the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
From past-their-prime fighter jets and missile boats to spit-and-polish pilots and sailors from the People's Air Force and Navy, the Vietnamese put on a show. Dempsey seemed charmed.
"Forty-five years ago, I couldn't imagine we'd be sitting in this room, having this conversation," Dempsey told the Vietnamese Navy brass from Naval Zone 3.
No, in 1969, at the height of the war, the notion of U.S., Viet Cong and North Vietnamese military leaders posing for photos and exchanging gifts would have been considered absurd.
Though calling it a conversation might be overstating the stilted, translated, ceremonial chat, the talk and the talker intended to send a message. America, its top military officer said, is serious about shifting its focus and resources to the Pacific. His presence here alone, despite the latest fires in the Middle East, speaks louder than any prepared remarks he could deliver.
Dempsey, in meetings with academics, politicians and military officials here this week, stressed that Vietnam's strategic location between China to the north and bustling nations to the south, along with its long coastline with the South China Sea, makes it a central player in the region.
For their part, the Vietnamese were eager to show that they're up to the challenge.
First up was Vietnam Air Division 372. The grounds of its headquarters hold the inevitable spoils for the victors: 1960s U.S. warplanes, most likely captured when South Vietnam fell in 1975.
But on the flight line and in meeting rooms, it was all (or mostly all) smiles for the chairman. The Vietnamese showcased its hardware despite its age.
Young pilots stood by their 1960s-era MiG 21s, Russian-made fighter jets that bedeviled American fliers. The F-4's they flew had radar and missiles that allowed them to destroy the MiGs from distance.
But the Vietnamese pilots regularly popped up after the F-4's had flown past their bases, taking a heavy toll.
At Naval Zone 3's pier, Dempsey walked the gangway onto a patrol boat of the same vintage as the MiGs. It was unusual access to a Vietnamese naval ship for a high-ranking officer.
Vietnamese army minders popped up to point out what could (not much) and could not (most everything) be photographed. It's possible they, like militaries everywhere, are not eager to display capabilities or, more often, advertise vulnerabilities.
The ship in the adjacent slip appeared to have been painted recently, although not below the water line, suggesting that it may not have been thoroughly overhauled in some time. In any event, Vietnam would be hard-pressed to challenge the Chinese, who are increasingly asserting claims in the waters off Danang.
For now, Dempsey assured the Vietnamese sailors that the old enemies should nurture their new friendship carefully. He called for slow and steady progress.
"We won't rush each other," he said.

Laid-off eBayers get goodbye video all wrong
When a tipster told me that workers at eBay France had created a lip-dub video, my hopes were high. But I should never have expected great things from eBay.
AOL France bid a classy adieu when Time Warner closed its Internet outpost in the country last year, offering a perfectly executed single-take lip-dub.
The online group singalong, a triumph of Internet narcissism, has become an elaborate art form with its own rules. The offering from eBay France breaks most of them, ensuring its lameness.
But what else should we expect from a company which has coasted on its auction monopoly and failed to innovate as Amazon.com and Google snuck up from behind? The eBay video is an imitative pastiche, with moves culled from Broadway shows and music videos with no rhyme, reason, or style. Much like eBay's own website.

Reince Priebus: Todd Akin's not getting a penny from the RNC, even if the race is tied
posted at 7:01 pm on August 28, 2012 by Allahpundit
Via Ben Howe and Chris Loesch of Revealing Politics. Two possibilities. One: Priebus is bluffing in order to keep up the pressure on Akin to drop out. If he betrays any willingness to change his mind and start pouring millions into Akin's campaign, it's a cinch that the candidate will try to hang on until October. Two: Priebus and Romney are so worried about Republican candidates being damaged by the Democrats' "war on women" messaging vis-a-vis Akin that they'd rather turn off the tap and see him lose a winnable race than rubber-stamp his candidacy by sending him a few million. They're going to quarantine him financially, in other words, even if that quarantine removes any chance of taking the seat. That's how toxic Akin is and how desperate the GOP is not to see the gender gap get worse.
The reply from Team Akin:
"Reince Priebus' comments are extremely disappointing. He claims the mantle of freedom, liberty and the good of America, but this betrays his apparent personal vendetta against Todd Akin. He is putting party power and political games ahead of the good of the country."
What's Priebus's explanation to grassroots conservatives going to be for not funding Akin if the race is 47/47 on October 1? I understand his desire to inoculate Romney and other Republican candidates, but is he actually prepared to make that argument in his defense? I.e. "If we give him any funds, the Democrats will tie us to him and that'll hurt the ticket"? For one thing, the Democrats are already tying Akin to the ticket; I saw a photoshopped bumper sticker online the other day that read "Romney/Ryan/Akin." For another thing, it's never a good idea for a GOP establishment figure, whose conservative bona fides is suspect among the base almost by definition, to argue that he can't do X because the left might say mean thing Y. The RNC and NRSC are already sure to be blamed by Huckabee and other prominent social cons for Akin's loss because they pushed so hard for him to get out. If they withhold money too, that'll further encourage Huck's scapegoating and make it more likely that he'll find a receptive grassroots audience. Priebus is taking a real risk here.
Exit quotation from a Missouri delegate: "I don't trust the system to find someone to replace him."

This title is not a major, but a course of study. Students do not need to major in any particular subject in order to apply for and be accepted to a Medical School. Many students choose to follow majors that are based in the Biological Sciences because many of the Pre-Med courses are built into the major. However, students are advised to major in a subject they will do well in and enjoy, and make sure to take the Pre-Med courses as part of their electives at the community college or the university they transfer to. As soon as students have decided on their major, they should make sure to fulfill the lower division requirements for that major as well as the Pre-Med requirements. The following requirements are the medical school requirements from universities in California. Please refer to catalogs for the additional requirements for medical school including MCAT scores, interviews, etc.

To identify multiple sclerosis, practitioners will be looking for patients who display a different velocity in the movements of each individual eye, while moving toward a target in a gap test, which is a symptom of damage of the brain's white matter of the internuclear neurons.
Recently, a new software version of the EBT device has allowed it to help with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis by confirming eye motricity impairment, which is a sensitive marker for this pathology. It can also be used to help monitor patients' progress and verify the effect of prescribed therapies.
People with multiple sclerosis often suffer from transitory or permanent neuro-ophthalmological problems, with disruptions in eye movements affecting 60 to 80 percent of these patients. The most commonly observed abnormalities are alterations in saccades and pursuits (tracking movements), as well as anomalies in patients' ability to focus and hold a look.
These tests enable various parameters to be evaluated, including reaction time, eye movement velocity, eye trajectory, and the accuracy of the gaze, as well as cognitive functions such as preparation, activation, or inhibition of the movement. They also allow for a number of parameters to be compared with subjects who display normal eye movements.
The EBT technology is already being used in hospitals to help with the early characterization of Parkinsonian syndromes, to assist in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, and to monitor the development of these pathologies. It is also being tested to assess its potential for diagnosing and monitoring patients with dyslexia.
The technology was developed by EyeBrain, Paris, France. For more information about the company and the EyeBrain Tracker, please visit http://info.hotims.com/40432-187.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
One day maybe, I will probably learn to act my age. While there are no guarantees that this will ever actually occur and I don't really consider my age to be a big deal, I do from time to time finally realize that I am not the spring chicken I once was and that my mind still fails to realize.
Over the holidays, my kids, also not as young as they once were, talked me into playing in a one-day softball tournament in Salem. At this point most of you should be saying to yourselves that there is snow on the ground in Salem, since there is snow on the ground in most places in Utah not named St. George.
The weather has also been just a little bit nippy as of late and as some of you have quickly pointed out to me from time to time, I have not been in my customary shorts the past several weeks due to that weather.
Not only was there snow on the ground and not only was the actual day time temperature just a little bit more below freezing than one would like, the clothes that one would have to actually wear to participate in an event such as this would have to be prohibitively cumbersome.
After having been told several times by the organizers of this event that the infield would be cleared of all snow, we arrived at the site to find that this was not actually so. The actual groundwork that had taken place was to clear about four square feet of snow around each of the bases and about 10 square feet at the plate. This had all the appearance of something not being a whole lot of fun.
Although my team lost three straight seven-inning games by a slim margin, and this was not a bad thing, I found out that I actually kind of enjoyed the occasion. As it turned out, stepping out and doing something different was not bad and I actually thought it to be fun.
We played with a green ball that was supposedly easy to see and find. The ball was easy to see out of the snow but it was quite funny watching grown men digging in the snow like a bunch of puppy dogs when the ball buried itself. Although the ball didn't travel far in the cold weather, fielders also didn't travel far because of 14 inches of snow hampering their efforts.
I thought that I had done alright playing that day and felt good after the games when we got back into the cars to travel home. After deciding to eat in Price upon our return to the valley, we stopped at KFC to grab a quick bite. There was nothing quick about the stop as I found that all my muscles had grown sore and stiff during the ride home. I was a sight to see as it took awhile for me to stand straight up and a while longer to actually start moving.
This was when age became a factor for me. I was the oldest player on the field and although I did play with my kids and my grandkids, I thought that I was in decent shape and could use the exercise. Running in that much snow is evidently a much different action that normally engaged in by me and I was now sore to prove it.
I am still not convinced that acting my age would have made any difference except I may not have played but that is not me. I enjoy doing things today that I would have enjoyed doing years ago. I refuse to slow down and not be me. I think I can and therefore I will still try, I will do my best to succeed. Even though I am still sore, I would do it again tomorrow.
I choose to play rather than sit in the bleachers. There is a saying on my wall that says "None of us get out of the game of life alive. You can either die in the bleachers or down on the field, so come on down and go for it." I choose to go for it.

New Zealand secured the Bledisloe Cup for the 11th straight year after beating Australia 27-16 in Wellington on Saturday.
New Zealand secured the Bledisloe Cup for the 11th straight year after beating Australia 27-16 in Wellington on Saturday.
The Wallabies were more competitive than last weekend's encounter in Sydney but the All Blacks made better use of their opportunities which sealed their victory.
Australia started the match brightly and after setting up 14 phases, close to New Zealand's try-line, Christian Lealiifano got the game's first points, from the kicking tee, after Owen Franks was pinned for not rolling away at a ruck.
That penalty seemed to be the cue for the home side to come alive and for the next five minutes they had the Wallabies under the cosh, but crucially, failed to add any points.
First a sniping break from Ben Smith, inside the Wallabies' half, put Julian Savea into space but a text-book tackle from Israel Folau forced the big number 11 into touch at the corner flag.
Two minutes later it was Israel Dagg who tore Australia's defence to shreds. He ghosted past three defenders but a wayward pass failed to find a team-mate and although Matt Toomua was penalised for not rolling away at a ruck, Tom Taylor missed with the shot at goal.
The Wallabies upped the ante during the next 15 minutes but failed to cross the whitewash. Their only points came via a penalty from Lealiifano in the 27th minute. This after the inside centre ran onto a pass from Stephen Moore, midway between the halfway line and the All Blacks' 22, before being stopped five metres short of the try-line by Aaron Smith, who was penalised for not releasing Lealiifano on the ground.
The All Blacks struck back from the kick-off when Sydney hat-trick hero Ben Smith scored his fourth try in two weeks. This after good hand speed from Conrad Smith and Steven Luatua put him in the clear down the right-hand touchline. Smith still had work to do and his pace proved too much for the cover defense who failed to lay a finger on him as he touched down.
Taylor added the extras to give the All Blacks a 7-6 lead but Australia were still competitive. The visitors thought they had an opportunity to regain the lead in 32nd minute, when Andrew Hore, was pinned for not releasing a tackled player on the ground. The hooker's infringement was within Lealiifano's goal-kicking range but referee Jaco Peyper reversed his decision after Ben Mowen held Brodie Retallick back – off the ball – in the build-up.
Five minutes later, Taylor gave the All Blacks a 10-6 lead, after another Wallaby infringement at a ruck and the fly-half had an opportunity to add another three-pointer shortly afterwards – after Moore played the ball after not retreating from a Genia up-and-under – but although his effort from the halfway mark had the distance, it was just wide of the mark.
On the stroke of half-time, Luatua broke clear, deep inside the Wallabies' 22, and when he was stopped just short of the try-line, the ball was spun wide and Dagg did well to draw in the defence before offloading to rightwing Smith, who got in for his second try in the corner.
New Zealand took an 15-6 lead into the break and although the Wallabies were still competitive they couldn't match the intensity of the world champions.
Like in the first half, Australia were once again quicker out of the starting blocks after the restart. James O'Connor launched an attack which had the All Blacks at sixes and sevens, inside their 22, but opted to break infield when he could have offloaded to Genia on his outside.
Taylor extended his side's lead, from the kicking tee, after the Wallabies were pinned for a scrum infringement, but Lealiifano cancelled it out with a penalty of his own after several All Blacks strayed offside at a ruck.
New Zealand added two further penalties through Taylor in the 61st and 70th minutes after the Wallabies were punished for infringements at a scrum and ruck respectively but the Wallabies were given a lifeline when Israel Folau scored their only try thanks to a superb piece of individualism.
The speedster intercepted a wayward pass from Nonu on his 22-metre line and raced away before beating Israel Dagg with an outrageous side-step before scoring next to the posts.
Lealiifano converted but it was too little too late and Dagg sealed the win with his first-ever Test penalty from in front of the posts five minutes before full-time.
Man of the Match: There were several candidates in the All Black pack, who were in charge in the second half. A special mention goes to Tony Woodcock, who was dominant in the scrums and Steven Luatua for a superb showing on defence and attack. But our vote goes to Aaron Smith who got New Zealand's back-line firing with his nippy service, and superb decision-making. He also won his personal duel with Will Genia which is no mean feat.
Moment of the Match: With the score at 10-6, the Wallabies were still in with a shout but Ben Smith's second try put the visitors further on the back-foot and knocked the wind out of their sails.
Villain of the Match: Nothing to report here as both sides went at each other in a hard but fair manner.

In life, opposites sometimes attract.
In hair color, they always do... and that's what leads to staining around the hairline. Most hair color has a positive charge(+), while hair has a negative ionic charge (-). This is what helps hair color stick to your hair. But our skin, like hair, has sites that are negatively charged, so hair color is attracted to skin as well... and you're left with ugly stains! That's why +Repelle™ with positively charged Pretectin-22™ has dual-action:
- First, +Repelle is attracted to the negatively charged sites in skin, neutralizing them and creating a physical barrier to the hair color;
- And second, it actually repels the positively-charged hair color itself.
USE: No need to lather, rinse or repeat. What more could you ask for?
1. BEFORE applying hair color… simply glide the +Repelle Skin Shield Wand along your hairline, ears, neckline, eyebrows or wherever you get color stains. Then color your hair as you normally would.
2. AFTER you're done, simply wipe or wash off +Repelle when you remove the dye. It comes off easily, leaving skin soft, clean and stain-free!
+Repelle works best used BEFORE hair coloring. But if you forget to use it before and end up with stains, try +Repelle as a remover. It can often help solubulize the dye and take much of the stain away!
Let's face it, hair color chemicals can be pretty harsh stuff. Rest assured, +Repelle is made from "good stuff" to be gentle, and protect from hair color stains and irritation. All +Repelle ingredients have been used before in skin care products and are known to be safe and effective. +Repelle Skin Shield Wand contains 99.7% active ingredients, 6x more than most professional salon barrier lotions which are primarily water
+Repelle includes:
-Pretectin-22™ which is derived from the rapeseed plant, a biodegradable ingredient which is the 3rd most common source of vegetable oil after soy and palm
-shea butter for barrier protection and for moisturizing
-aloe for its reputed healing properties
-Vitamin E for anti-oxidant power (which is particularly appropriate for hair color since it utilizes oxidizing dyes)
-Petrolatum, one of the most recommended ingredients by dematologists for skin protection and moisturization, and more!
See the label for complete details.

|If Your Award Letter includes:
|You need to do this:
|Federal, State or Barry scholarship, grant or award.
|You need to do nothing at this time. We will complete the processing necessary to acquire those funds.
Note: Some scholarships and grants are based on your enrollment status, that is being a full-time student versus part-time. (12 credits or more). Additionally, Some are awarded at a higher amount if you live in university housing. Should your anticipated enrollment or housing status change please contact the Financial Aid Office for further guidance.
|Verification Pending
|Your FAFSA was selected by the federal processor for verification. Visit our www.barry.edu/verify for instructions and forms.
Verification is a routine process whereby the federal government asks schools to check one or more items on your FAFSA. We may need to ask you for certain documents in order to complete the verification process.
In most cases after verification is complete there is no change in financial aid. However, if during the verification process we discover mistakes or omissions on the FAFSA your financial aid could potentially change. It could increase or decrease.
Warning: Your financial aid is not official and remains on hold until the verification process is concluded. Your financial aid is subject to termination if you do not respond to our requests for information.

|Your Housing Status
|Living on or off campus may change your financial aid awards. We have made assumptions based on information you have provided us on the FAFSA or other documents. If the information is not correct please contact us.
|Federal Work-Study
|Federal Work Study is a part-time job on campus in one of the many departments at Barry or off campus in community service positions. As part of Barry's "hands-on" approach to education, we try when possible to place you in a position within your desired area of study. An accounting major might work in our Finance Division with numbers, or our social work majors may work in community service positions in non-profit organizations off campus.
Please note that all Federal Work Study positions are real jobs and will require real work. You will be paid only for the hours worked. Performing homework when you should be working is not acceptable.
Visit our Federal Work-Study website for full details and necessary forms at www.barry.edu/workstudy.
Do not begin working until you are officially authorized by the Human Resources Office.
|Federal Direct Stafford Loans
|If you decide that you need to borrow loans, then complete an entrance interview and a Master Promissory Note (MPN) at www.studentloans.gov. If you have never borrowed a Federal Direct loan at Barry, you must complete BOTH the loan counseling and the MPN to receive your loan.
If you have borrowed at Barry last year then you do not need to complete the entrance counseling or MPN. However, you do need to review the amount of the loan on your financial aid award letter and inform us if you wish to borrow less than the amount listed or to not borrow at all. If we do not receive instructions from you we will assume you wish to borrow the maximum amount of student loans listed on your award letter.
What is the difference between Subsidized and Unsubsidized?
Only what you need. The amount on your award letter is the maximum the government allows. You may and probably should borrow less than the amount listed.
If you apply for a loan and don't inform us of a different amount, we will process the loan(s) for the maximum amount you are eligible to receive.
To borrow less than the maximum, provide us with the amount in a signed and dated letter, or email us from your Barry email account.
Note that if you do not apply for a loan by completing the Master Promissory Note and the Entrance Counseling you will not receive loans.
Monitor Your Federal Loan Debt
We encourage you to monitor your federal student loans using the National Student Loan Data System.
Use your federal PIN number and review your federal loan debt from all schools you attended. Private and institutional loans are not included.
|Federal Direct PLUS or Parent Loan
|A PLUS Loan is a federal loan for parents of dependant students. PLUS loans are not based on financial need; however, the loan cannot exceed the cost of attendance minus other financial aid.
Decide if this loan is necessary. Then apply online at www.studentloans.gov
The PLUS loan is also based on credit. In the event that the parent loan is denied, then the federal government allows the student to borrow an additional Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
If the PLUS loan is not approved, then contact our office if you wish to borrow the additional Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. The maximum amount will be $4,000 for students with less than 60 credits completed, or $5,000 for students who have completed 60 or more credits.
As with all loans, you do not have to borrow the maximum. Borrow only what you need.
|If Your Award Letter includes:
|You need to do this:
|denied, then the federal government allows the student to borrow an additional Unsubsidized Stafford Loan.
If the PLUS loan is not approved, then contact our office if you wish to borrow the additional Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. The maximum amount will be $4,000 for students with less than 60 credits completed, or $5,000 for students who have completed 60 or more credits.
As with all loans, you do not have to borrow the maximum. Borrow only what you need.
|Outside Scholarship
|An outside scholarship is one you obtained through your own efforts with an outside organization. While we may list it on your award letter, it is your responsibility to make sure the organization sends the funds to Barry's financial aid office in your name so that we can credit it to your student account.
You are responsible to ensure that you fulfill all of the requirements that the organization requires.
More important information!
|Renewing your Award
|Your financial aid package is offered this year only. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid as soon as possible after January 1st for the upcoming Fall semester. (www.fafsa.gov). Changes in your family's situation, your academic performance, your housing status, and availability of funds may cause your financial aid award to change from year to year.
|Satisfactory Academic Progress
|In order to continue to receive federal financial aid students are required to make academic progress toward their degree. Minimum full-time academic progress is defined as completing at least 12 credits per semester, (Fall and Spring) with at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA.
At the end of each semester progress will be monitored for all students receiving financial aid. Students not making satisfactory progress will be notified and placed on financial aid warning.
Students placed on financial aid warning could lose all of their financial aid should they fail to reach the academic progress standards in the subsequent semester.
Students experiencing problems affecting their ability to maintain academic progress have many opportunities for assistance at Barry University.

|State Awards
|If you are offered funds from a State of Florida program, be sure to indicate on their web site www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org that you are attending Barry University. If you have an award from another state, (such as Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Delaware, DC, etc.) be sure you follow their instructions to insure that you actually receive the funds.
Special note about Florida Bright Futures scholarships: The state pays per academic credit completed. That means the more credits you enroll in and complete, the more money they provide. However, if you drop a class any time during the semester, even at the end of the semester, the state requires us to send the funding for those dropped credits back to the state.
|Federal Direct Loan Fees
|The Federal government is the lender for all Federal Direct Loans. The Federal Direct Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loan has a 1.072% government fee automatically deducted from the amount you borrow. The Direct PLUS Loan Program charges a loan fee of 4.288% of the total amount borrowed, it too is deducted from the amount you borrow. While you do not receive these funds, you are responsible for repaying the entire amount that you borrow. More information can be found at: www.studentaid.ed.gov/types/loans/.
|Federal Direct Loan Interest Rates
|Federal Direct loan interest rates change annually. Currently loans first disbursed after July 1, 2013 and before June 30th 2014 have an interest rate of 3.869%.
|Alternative or Private Loans
|Alternative loans, commonly referred to as private loans or secondary student loans, are consumer loans offered by banks and other private lenders to cover the cost of college not covered by federal/state or institutional financial aid. Alternative loans generally have higher interest rates than Federal Student Loans. Some alternative loan lenders require interest payments while you are in school.
Barry University encourages students and parents to first consider the Federal Direct Loan program, and to only consider alternative loans as a last resort. Barry University does not maintain a preferred alternative lender list.
|Barry University has a Priority Date of March 30th for us to receive your completed and accurate FAFSA results. Barry receives specific funding amounts for some federal, state and institutional aid programs. Once we award all of the funds from a program it is closed and may not be awarded to late applicants.
|The EFC
|The purpose of the FAFSA is to determine the level of financial need that you and/or your family have and to qualify you for certain financial aid programs. The degree of need is indicated by the EFC (Expected Family Contribution). The EFC can range from zero to 99,999. The lower the EFC the greater the perceived financial need.
|Little or No Income Reported
|If you report that you and/or your family have no income or an extremely low income, we may ask you to explain how you can live on such an extremely small income. The FAFSA is a complex form and occasionally mistakes are made. In some cases the low or no income reported is correct but students receive funds from other sources and are living on savings or living with other family members who pay for everything. We only need a reasonable explanation in writing to document the unusual situation.
