As Financial Aid is basically anything you don't pay out of your pocket, the sources of financial aid are many. However, on the Graduate/Professional Level, most aid comes either from the federal government, private banks or the University itself. On the federal level, the bulk of financial assistance is in the form of loans. Private banking agencies may provide alternative loans for students who do not qualify for federal student loans. University assistance is usually in the form of scholarships. Both the federal government and the University provide some assistance in the way of student employment (work study and non-work study jobs) that allow students to earn some of the funds they need to meet their total cost of attendance.
The list below outlines the most common types of aid, however, students should not overlook possibilities such as job-related benefits through employers or unions; outside scholarships through charitable or community groups and foundations; vocational rehabilitation benefits for students with disabilities; VA benefits and more.
Federal Direct Stafford Loans
Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans
Federal Perkins Loans
Private Alternative Loans
Canadian Student Loans
Law School Scholarships
Private Scholarships
Other Programs
VA Benefits
Vocational Rehabilitation Programs
All federal loans require entrance counseling and a promissory note prior to disbursement of the loan and an exit counseling session at the time the student leaves school. More information about all federal financial aid programs is available online at studentaid.ed.gov.

Strike King Lure Company, the makers of the popular King Kong, King Shad and Wake Shad jointed swimbaits are proud to introduce the new Sexy Swimmer to its line-up. The Sexy Swimmer is a double jointed hard plastic swimbait that is 5" inches in total length and weighs in at 5/8oz. The Sexy Swimmer does not have a diving lip, but is instead a slow sinking swimbait designed to be retrieved at various speeds with unbelievable action and attraction to fish.
"The Sexy Swimmer is an awesome addition to our already stout swim bait line-up," says 2008 BASS Elite Series Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam. "I am really excited to have these in my arsenal for the 2009 tournaments season, the action is the deal on this bait and I look forward to catching some really big fish on this lure."

From: Alex
Comments: best hard swimbait for the price!! i only used it in winter time in the sexy ghost minnow pattern, was usin it as a jerkbait 25 foot deep excellent!
Comments: Wow amazing bait I busted fish all on this lure out in the delta. It had teeth marks a missing eye and much of its paint lost. However, when it counted most it broke in half on a 5lb bass....... I give it 2.5 stars out of 5 only because it broke.

The J/105 - Weekend Cruising on the Chesapeake
Want to get away for a fun-filled weekend cruising on the Chesapeake Bay? The Club's fleet of J/105 sailboats are ready and waiting for you.
A fun and forgiving performance boat that is easy to sail, J/105 offers low maintenance with a simple layout, has great performance, a large cockpit, predictable handling characteristics and makes no pretences of being a distance cruiser. The Club takes care of all the maitenance, so instead of varnishing toe-rails and troubleshooting systems you'll be enjoying a sail with friends.
The J/32 - The Ideal Cruising Boat for the Chesapeake
When you're ready to go cruise one of the world's top sailing grounds - the Club makes it easy and economical with our fleet of J/32 sailboats - ready and waiting for you. Pick your destination here on the Chesapeake, reserve your J/32 on the Club's web site, pack the cooler and head on down to the club to step aboard your J/32 and go cruising! Being a member of the Club provides all the benefits of cruising the bay with none of the hassles and costs of owning, chartering or renting.
The ideal cruising boat for many years has been the classic 40 foot sloop. For the first time, thanks to new building technology and design, the comfort and performance benefits of that cruising ideal are now available in 32 feet. Apart from being more affordable to own and operate, there's an added dimension of comfort in a smaller boat: Maneuverability - landing at a dock or threading through crowded harbors. Furthermore, the J/32 is designed to sail well under mainsail alone and cruise with a small jib rather than genoa. There are no big sails to winch and wrestle and the constant sail changing of heavy displacement cruisers is avoided.
Club Member Testimonials
"During the April-November season I try to get out once or twice a week for a day sail. Winter is a little tougher but there are nice days and the J80s and J105s are ready all year around." The H20 is a blast. Thank you for bringing it on and making the introduction simple and fun. It keeps things interesting! Proof is in the pudding. She sailed us out of the creek and didn' t let go of the tiller til we got back into the creek about 1hour 20 minutes later. Bravo! "... Ellen is by nature very cautious. Your concern over safety and the condition of the boat contributed to her enjoyment of the day. As I have mentioned, I think the sailing club is the greatest thing since sliced bread. A J/80 Fan!" "For literally the same price as a yearly slip fee in Annapolis, I not only get to sail out of a prime location in Annapolis, but I don't have to purchase a boat! It's like renting a slip and getting the boat for free!" This is sailing heaven if you like your boats, fast, fun, easily accessible and you simply want to just go sailing with the minimum of fuss. I mean literally pack the Jeep with a picnic, your family/friends, collect some ice and be skimming across the Bay in no time. Our usual time from leaving the house in Arlington Va to puttering out of the slip is right on one hour. Hey Paul! As so often happens after a great J/80 sail, I feel a swell of gratitude to you and the entire J/Port group for making it possible. The enthusiasm and integrity of everyone is a pleasure to be a part of... "How can you beat it --- more sailing, more places and fewer hassles and we haven't even talked about the racing program." Thanks for your help in planning my trip. Having someone who has actually sailed there and knows the best places to go is a real help. I don't normally write thank you letters because good service should be expected but my experience with Chesapeake Boating Club has been so far above what I expected that I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated it. Your infinite willingness to find ways to make the club so much more than an offer of inexpensive sailing is deeply appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you. "At the end of the day, I can hop off and not worry about dealing with the Marina or maintenance. Better yet because I have a selection of boats I can choose a specific boat for the type of sailing I want to do. The J105s with their speed can not be beat for day sailing on the bay. Eileen and I have enjoyed the J32s when we've wanted to spend a few nights on the boat and do a little cruising. " I joined the Jport Sailing Club last year because I wanted to have access to sailing on weekends. The boats were great and so were the people, and soon I found myself crewing in races and commuting to Annapolis from my home in Arlington every chance I could. "Had to pack a few personal things, get some ice, buy a few groceries and take off on a 3 day adventure less than an hour after stepping foot aboard. That's what a sailing time share is all about: for busy folks who don't have the time to own their own boat but love to sail a good boat." "In the last two years, I've sailed more than 40 days and only used about a quarter of my reserve days. With that experience, we plan to bareboat in the British Virgin Islands [ BVI ] in late fall. The classes we took with the sailing school have helped to make our trips out on the bay more enjoyable and allowed us to plan on more adventures. I think if you total the cost of the BVI trip and J/Port it would still be less than if I owned my own boat. " "You won't find a more economical, less stressed and more convenient way to go sailing. The club takes care of everything. All you do is make a reservation, show up and go sailing. There are no hassles or hidden costs." "This will be my third year with J/Port. Originally, I had planned to sail with you for a year and then look into getting my own boat. Now that I've experience all that you have to offer I am more than content to continue my membership. It's better than owning a boat. " "I day-sail (and single hand) quite a bit. My wife comes with me on two longer trips (spring and fall) when we take a J32 for the week end. There is plenty of opportunity for overnight outings, especially during the week." "...the real hidden equation here is in the time factor. Time becomes an even rarer commodity than anything else within our busy lives. With this concept you are going to maximize your hours spent under canvass surrounded by your family and friends with a whole team behind you to worry about the watering and feeding." "...one thing you didn't ask about is the club's members. They are the really unique resource and one of the things that make the club so special. If you need a sailing partner to show you the ropes or just to keep you company while you are sailing someone will be there...." "Not having to maintain, haul out in the winter, worry about storms, etc cetera, more than makes up for [not owning]. It's a no-brainer!" "Given the amount of use they get, the JPort boats are in amazing shape. If you owned your own boat and maintained it yourself, I'll bet it would't be in as good condition as the JPort fleet. Full time professional staff are going over the boats every day to make sure that when you get there all the stuff works like it should." Paul and Nan, Lynn and I did our summer cruise last week and I wanted to let you know what a great time we had. The J/32 was in perfect shape, every component worked exactly like it should and we had no problems or drama whatsoever.

The work session of Shoreline Community College Board of Trustees on Wednesday, Jan. 27, included some significant comings and goings in the Office of Advancement.
On the going side was Judith Hansen, Interim Executive Director – College Advancement. Hansen has resigned from her position as Interim Executive Director, College Advancement, effective Friday, Jan. 29, 2010. Appointed Jan. 4, Hansen, cited personal reasons for leaving.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity I've had at SCC," Hansen said. "While I remain excited about the direction of the college, this is a personal decision, one that I needed to make for myself."
Hansen came to the college in 2009 in a part-time role to address grants-related needs. A former president at three community colleges, Hansen was initially working to establish a more uniform process for grant applications. The Office of Advancement leadership role had been empty since it was established in 2008.
At Wednesday's meeting SCC President Lee Lambert thanked Hansen for her work both in relation to college grants and the Office of Advancement. "Judith has been a tremendous help to the college," Lambert said.
While Hansen is leaving, two things are coming to Advancement: The outline of a three-year plan for the office, presented by Hansen to the trustees, and a commitment by the trustees to fund her replacement out of the board's reserve fund.
The rarely touched reserve fund contains approximately $1.2 million, put there by a previous administration, according to Budget Director Holly Woodmansee. The college has made no contributions to the fund in recent years, she said. During the regular part of the meeting, Trustee Dick Stucky made a motion to dip into the reserve fund for the Advancement position. Following Trustee Jerry Smith's second and discussion, the motion was approved on a 4-0 vote with Trustee Shoubee Liaw absent.
The three-year plan presented by Hansen is an outline of how Advancement would work toward promoting the college, raising its profile with the budget-related goal of reducing Shoreline's reliance on state funding. As the college grapples with budget issues brought on by cuts in state support, Lambert has said the Office of Advancement, which includes the Foundation, must help find other revenue sources.
"Regardless of whether a specific person is here, we must move ahead with this effort to wean ourselves away from increasingly unreliable state funding," Lambert said. "Judith helped put a framework in place, now the work must go on."

Time: 6-7:30 p.m.- 6 p.m., view informational materials;- 6:30 p.m., slide presentation;- 7-7:30 p.m., view materials.
Date: Tuesday, Jan. 26
Where: Shoreline Community College, PUB, Quiet Dining Room
Who: Open to the public
What: Preview preliminary long-range and master-plan ideas for the college.Shoreline Community College is offering the public an opportunity to participate in developing a long-range plan for the campus.
Plan preview
A public viewing and presentation of preliminary proposals for the campus will be available from 6-7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010. Consultants from Schacht Aslani Architects, of Seattle, will show renderings and make a slide presentation. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions and submit feedback.
"We need this plan for several reasons," SCC President Lee Lambert said. "First, the city of Shoreline in 2008 adopted new regulations requiring the college and similar designated areas such as CRISTA and Fircrest to create master plans for approval by the City Council.
"Second, while the state doesn't have any money for capital projects right now, things will change and for the college to even apply for funding, we need an approved plan."
Lambert said a master plan doesn't necessarily mean expanding the campus, but rather improvement to facilities, many of which are coming up on their 50th birthdays. Those improvements can help students achieve their goals and, in turn, help the community and the state. Lambert cited the rebuilt and improved library, which opened seven years ago. "The 'library' is now the Library Media Technology Center and is a hub of learning on campus," Lambert said.
The most recent capital project, an addition to the Professional Automotive Training Center, didn't even rely solely on state funding, he said. "The state gave us $2 million, Toyota gave $1 million and the local auto dealers combined for nearly another $1 million," he said. "And, a new partner in the program, Snap On Tools, will end up giving more than the state contributed."
The Tuesday event is intended to gain feedback before the college embarks on the official master planning process, said Daryl Campbell, SCC's Vice President for Administrative Services. "Before we go any further, we want to talk to our neighbors and other constituencies that care so deeply about this college," Campbell said.
This won't be the last time for public input.
"Once we start the city's official process, there will be more opportunities to see and share," Campbell said. "This is just the first such opportunity."
Brown-bag set
SCC President Lee Lambert will conduct a brown-bag discusison session, starting at noon, Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010, in the PUB Quiet Dining Room. "This is just the first of many opportunities the campus will hear and speak about what we're all facing," Lambert said.
Currently, all-campus meetings are set for March 12 and again on April 2.
Key documents
- College restructure outline
- Budget, transparency criteria
- Learning centered primer
Facing further budget reductions triggered by deteriorating state and national economic pressures, Shoreline Community College officials have established a framework for making those cuts and restructure the college.
"We had been planning for state-forced cuts of about $90 million statewide which translated to the $1.5 million range for Shoreline," said Daryl Campbell, Vice President for Administrative Services said. "We received information late this past week that indicates the state could cut another $28 million, by not funding increases in health-care costs, which wouldn't trigger potential federal penalties.
"Using the previous formula, that means our share would be just shy of $2 million."
In light of the new information, SCC President Lee Lambert has asked Campbell and the other vice presidents to prepare reduction plans at three levels: $1.5 million, $2 million and $2.5 million.
The framework for making cuts is also in response to a request from a joint work group of the college's strategic planning and budget committees for an open and transparent process. "The work group did a terrific job and presented a thoughtful document," Campbell said.
While the college will have to make significant cuts, the framework also calls for a renewed emphasis on the concepts of being learning centered.
"It is true that in many ways, we already show a commitment to being learning centered," said John Backes, Vice President of Academic Affairs. "However, there is room for growth and, in the process, better serve our students and community."
"The reductions we're facing are just devastating," Lambert said. "Combined with the other reductions we've sustained over the past five years, restructuring has become imperative. However, refocusing attention on the core purpose – learning – will provide directions and purpose as we move forward."
SCC students collect food in front of the Fred Meyer store. See more photos.
Question: Can a group of Shoreline Community College students who find inspiration in the words and example of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., collect 25,000 pounds of donated food in just one day?
Answer: No, they can collect 26,233 pounds in one day, add to the total the next day and then donate it all to local food banks
"Martin Luther King Jr. Day was declared a national day of service by Congress in 1994," said Kaelyn Caldwell, SCC's service-learning coordinator. "What better way to honor Dr. King than to bring a community together to help others on his day?"
The project involved putting donation sites and volunteers in front of nine participating grocery stores across the north end of King County on Monday, Jan. 18, 2010. While the project was coordinated through the Center for Service Learning, Caldwell also worked with SCC Veterans Center coordinator Jonathan Phillips and student Ava Munson, who serves in student government as Minister of Social Justice. A number of college administrators and staff also volunteered for the project.
Funding for effort came from the Dr. Ronald E. Bell Student Leadership Fund through the SCC Foundation.
"Local food banks and the people who rely on them are suffering. Demand is increasing while donations are not," Caldwell said. Food banks in the Shoreline/North Seattle area have reported a 30 percent increase in the use of their emergency food services, she said.
The drive's goal was ambitious, to collect 25,000 pounds of food. What seemed an audacious target at the start of the day began to look attainable as the donations piled up. After the 5:30 p.m. project close, volunteers brought the donations back to campus.
The total surprised even the most committed volunteers. "We gathered 26,233 pounds of food," Caldwell said. "Surpassing our goal was really gratifying."
The drive continued Tuesday, Jan. 19, at the school with more donations from students, faculty and staff. "This is a great example of what service learning is all about," Caldwell said. "It's taking the lessons of the classroom into the community, putting learning to work."
All donations will be distributed to partnering food banks, including: Hopelink, the Greenwood Food Bank and North Helpline/Lake City Food Bank.
In October, 2007, the college joined Washington Campus Compact, a statewide coalition of colleges and universities to promote service learning. Washington Campus Compact has a grant from AmeriCorps*VISTA to help serve people in poverty through service learning.
SCC Jim Hills
Shoreline Community College officials are on the cusp of discussions about how and where to make another round of cuts forced by state budget woes.
In his report at the Jan. 5, 2010 College Council meeting on college budget issues, Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell presented work done in November and December by a subgroup of the Budget and Strategic Planning committees. The subgroup developed a document, "Criteria for Restructuring and Guidelines for a Transparent Process."
"They did a really nice job," Campbell said. "We've been reviewing the document, working to build objectives. We have not gone forward yet with any real substantive look at restructuring, but that will start soon, perhaps by the end of the week."
Campbell said the document is helping to guide college officials as they look at how to make cuts at the levels anticipated for the 2010-11 budget. Campbell also outlined what officials believe those levels will be.
"The assumption had been that the state couldn't cut more than $80 million from higher education without risking the federal stimulus money," Campbell said. In taking the federal help, the state is obligated to spend at least to 2006 levels. All of that translated to about a $1.35 million target for Shoreline, he said.
"The budget proposed by Gov. Gregoire in December does that, sort of," Campbell said. Gregoire proposes shifting some money between capital and operations and actually adding some spending for Worker Retraining programs. "The result is that the statewide number is now $90 million, making our share about $1.5 million," he said, adding that the extra spending means the federal penalty isn't triggered, even though the total reduction is more than $80 million.
President Lee Lambert told the Council that while Shoreline's current target may be $1.5 million, it might not be enough.
"What weighs on me heavily is that perhaps the state hasn't seen the end yet," Lambert said. "We can hope that each year the reduction amount gets smaller, but it may be another two to three years before we get to the bottom.
"That may mean that we need to start planning now for a target of $2 million or $2.5 million."
Lambert said that at even $1.5 million, that could mean as many as 30 positions might be cut. "We're sitting on about 15 vacancies right now, that's half of it, although I'm not saying it will fall out like that."
Council member and Faculty Senate Chair Guy Hamilton asked if those 15 vacancies would drive the restructuring plan. Lambert answered that while some of the vacancies could remain open, others could become "landing spots" for other employees who might be asked to move from current positions. "We won't know that until we see the restructuring plan," Lambert said.
Lambert added that another possible casualty of the cuts could be pieces of the current governance structure. "We just put this wonderful committee system in place, but … can we run the college the same way with 30 fewer people?" he asked. "(College Council) is probably going to grapple with that in the spring."
Campbell said that besides the likely $1.5 million target and perhaps the need to plan now for more in coming years, there are other strains on the budget.
"There is the technology plan, recently finished by the Technology Planning Committee," Campbell said. "If we're going to move forward as a college, we need to fund that plan over three years. That could mean another $1 million to $1.5 million in spending this coming year. We'd have to find that money somewhere."
Campbell also noted that Gov. Gregoire's budget calls for a significant reduction in state financial assistance to students. "Ted Hasse in Financial Aid has done some work that indicates the state cut could mean $1.7 million less for Shoreline students," Campbell said. "A decision to be made is, 'Will this college replace any of that financial assistance?' It may be imperative to keep student FTEs the (state target) level.
"All of those things have to be figured in. And, oh, by the way, still do our strategic plan."
Campbell and Lambert said there are wildcards in the budget deck.
Gov. Gregoire and some legislators have spoken about the need for new taxes. Campbell said that while no direct relief to higher education is likely to come from a tax hike, Gregoire has said she would reinstate her proposed cuts to financial assistance.
Lambert noted that he is on a workgroup of CTC presidents that is making a recommendation on how colleges count international students. If adopted, colleges would have some added budget flexibility.
Lambert also said there is likely to be legislation from both the House and Senate that moves colleges toward collaboration on administrative services. In a December meeting, Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-36th Dist., said that he would introduce such a bill. Carlyle, a former member of the SBCTC, has outlined his views on his legislative blog.
With state support for higher education facing a continuing threat, President Lee Lambert says Shoreline Community College must take more control of its financial future.
"We have to reduce our reliance on state dollars. Tuition hikes just shift the burden to students who are already seeking financial aid in record numbers," Lambert said. "However, we can help ourselves with a more vigorous and planned pursuit of grants, contracts and private giving."
To that end, Lambert said he has appointed Judith Hansen as Interim Executive Director – College Advancement to head the Office of Advancement. Lambert made the announcement at the Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2010, College Council meeting.
"Judith came to us this past fall quarter as part-time grants administrator and her work is already starting to pay off," Lambert said, adding that the college had gone with out a grants administrator for a number of years. "With her background and experience, Judith is a good fit for the Office of Advancement."
Lambert said that Hansen will continue with her work on grants, take a leadership position with the foundation and oversee efforts in PIO. The move will put the Office of Advancement in a stronger position to pursue a variety of revenue opportunities, Lambert said.
Hansen said she's looking forward to the opportunity at Shoreline.
"It quickly became apparent that Shoreline has a culture of truly valuing students," Hansen said. "That culture, combined with the vision that this institution is working toward, make Shoreline a very exciting place to be."
One of Hansen's first chores will be to outline a three-year plan for Advancement at the Jan. 27, Board of Trustees meeting. Also at that meeting, Lambert said he'd ask the trustees to consider funding Hansen's position from the board's fund. "This would be a strong investment in the college," Lambert told the Council members.
Hansen comes with plenty of community college experience, most recently serving as president at Southwestern Oregon Community College, in Coos Bay. Ore., for three years. While her time in Oregon ended in resignation, college board members there praised Hansen for her work in carrying the college's message into the community and building new programs. "Judith's strengths at Southwestern are exactly what we need here at Shoreline," Lambert said.
Before Southwestern, Hansen was president at Independence Community College, Independence, Kan., for eight years and also served as president at Olney Central Community College, Olney, Ill. Hansen began her community college career teaching ABE, GED and ESL classes. She has also taught and counseled at Iowa Western Community College, Iowa State University, University of Arkansas, Crowder College, Pittsburg State University and Independence Community College.
Hansen served as executive vice president at Waubonsee Community College and Dean at Crowder College. She served on the National and Oregon Campus Compact, American Student Advocacy Council Board, American Association of Community Colleges Board of Director and Executive Board.
Committed to community involvement, Hansen served on the Coos Art Museum and South Coast Development Council while in Oregon. Since moving here, she has joined the Kirkland Rotary. She enjoys outdoor sports, gardening and spending time with her children Erik, Andy and Sarah and their families.
The Office of Advancement was created in April, 2008, by combining the Public Information Office and the Shoreline Community College Foundation. Since its inception, however, the office has not had a person in the leadership position. The office has been operated cooperatively between Jim Hills, interim special assistant to the president for communications, marketing and government relations, and Ritva Manchester, interim director of the foundation and director of community and alumni relations. Both Hills and Manchester will continue with the Office of Advancement.

You should be ashamed of yourself. The article you wrote concerning the vote for Sheriff's office positions was a slap in the face to the people of Emery County that exercised their right to vote and their freedom to choose who they want in that position. And it was a great big slap in the face to Greg Funk. What a way for Greg to have to start his career in that position.
Sheriff Guymon has provided a great service to the county and he has been a great comfort and help to various people and I'm sure he's done wonderful things for people that no one knows about except for the recipient. But he's not the only one that does nice and great things for people in this county. I'm sure he was not the only one providing comfort, integrity and strength to the families of the Crandall Canyon Mine, the Sharp family and the mom whose children were washed away in the flood. He didn't do all those things alone.
The other devoted employees with the Sheriff's Office that have stated "If LaMar goes, they will go along with him." I say let them go. They are here to serve the communities and the people in Emery County not just LaMar Guymon. The officers who have "worked their way up from the bottom to where they are today" have the right to run for the office of Sheriff any time they would like to. Maybe you'd better look into why they have chosen not to run for Sheriff.
When you are voted into a political office there are no guarantees of always having a job, that's the chance you take every time you're up for re-election. And that's a chance LaMar has taken for quite a few years and the people of Emery County have spoken and no one should try to make them feel guilty for their decision.
I'm sure when LaMar started he had to learn all the things that went along with his position and Greg I'm sure will have to do the same. You wrote as if things were going to go clear to heck just because someone new is going to be in that position. Give him the chance to learn, grow, show strength, integrity, and comfort to the residents of Emery County. Don't throw him under the bus before he even has a chance to start. Anyone in that position deserves support and respect from the people in this community. I think Greg Funk is going to do a great job if he is given the chance to do his job. But just as LaMar appreciated his officers and the community being loyal to him and supporting him I'm sure his replacement would appreciate the same thing.
I think you owe Greg Funk a public apology. Can Greg count on the local paper for support as the local paper has supported LaMar?

For many ECPs, SRx still brings to mind images of big, ugly frames with thick lenses nobody wants.During the past few years, however, SRx has evolved on both the frame and lens sides of the equation. Suppliers are making OSHA- and ANSI-compliant frames that look just like fashionable dress eyewear, including lightweight titanium and rimless options. The emergence of detachable sideshields not only keep workers safe, but they encourage wearing the frames off-site as well. In terms of compliant lens options, safety eyewear is available in all the same materials and powers as dress eyewear lenses.Independent ECPs are just as capable of serving SRx patients as larger national conglomerates. Smaller dispensaries are in a position to counter the problems safety managers experience with large, price-oriented programs by guaranteeing more personalized service and faster turnaround. Safety directors, especially those overseeing hundreds or thousands of employees, are looking for simplicity when it comes to implementing a safety eyewear plan. ECPs that can offer fast turnaround and simplified package pricing can compete with big box retailers.SPINNING OFF SUCCESSSRx work represents about 10 percent of the business at Mike Galliland's four Northstar Vision Center locations in the Columbus, Ohio area. But that 10th of his business is a springboard to other business, which is why he has spent the past 25 years dispensing SRx onsite at the workplace. "You have to be willing to understand the safety frames and how the companies work," says Galliland. "Most people don't understand that providing a service with a limited fee leads to other, more lucrative business."In terms of his SRx work, Galliland notes that "We are the middleman, filling out the forms, verifying the glasses and dispensing them to the employees. We charge a $15 fee. It's a small fee but many patients get second pairs or bring in family members for Rx business. The point is that this generates new business."At Eyeworld in Saraland, Ala., SRx accounts for just 5 percent of Phil Gillette's business, but he feels that safety work is significant. "That 5 percent might become 20 percent by the time referrals and other work happen. We're very, very busy," he says.For Jack Holbert, owner of Decatur Optical in Decatur, Ala., SRx accounts for 20 percent of the business and he notes that the biggest impact on his general practice has been the referrals gained through the SRx patient base he has developed for the past 12 years. He has noticed the trend toward better styling and lens materials, resulting in "a much more comfortable pair and a better looking pair."Holbert adds that the pursuit of SRx is "pursued for the peripheral spin-off business. We hope to expose them to our services and have them come back for other business," including contact lenses. He has also found that offering a frame-and-lens package with wholesale pricing has worked well with corporate safety clients.GOING HYBRIDSome ECPs have found having a lab helps keep them competitive when offering SRx work to clients. Eyeworld's Gillette has been doing SRx work for more than 20 years and has a lab on the premises to speed up jobs. Other SRx provides have taken the reverse route: Wholesale optical labs have found success, especially with SRx, by opening a retail area.Casey Conrad, owner of Heartland Optical in Lincoln, Neb., just celebrated the grand opening of a new retail store and has declared his business a "hybrid optical," one that is one third wholesale optical work, one third safety and one third retailing. The new retail space was the outgrowth of Heartland, originally a wholesale lab dating back to the 1940s, seeing safety patients in their warehouse. "We make the best money from retail, but the most work comes from safety and wholesale jobs," notes Conrad. "Unless you have a chain of six stores, it's hard to keep the lab busy. We need to keep the lab busy to keep safety pricing competitive. One reason we moved into our new facility was to market the safety niche."Along with developing corporate accounts, Heartland sees walk-ins looking for safety eyewear, often people who do yard work or woodworking at home, as well as people who have already suffered an eye injury. Conrad also notes that by having his own lab, he can control the quality of specialty safety lenses he's dispensed to walk-in and corporate patients alike. "New York City subway cars are made here in Lincoln and we have a lot of people doing overhead welding and need 'double D' bifocals," he says."As soon as you help that person who needs a specialty safety lens, they are a customer for life. Specialty creates a bond that people like," Conrad says. He has also developed another specialty patient base among medical employees and doctors who work in radiology departments and Xrays. "Studies show that taking of all those photos without eye protection causes cataracts more quickly. Lead-based glass lenses help counteract that. It's a small niche item, but you're marketing to doctors and they gain your trust and come to you for everything else."Safety Rx and Family Optical, with two locations in the Houston area and one in Dallas, has done safety eyewear since 1989 and added a lab six years ago to stay competitive. "We have to fight and hustle for every client we get," says Matt Thomas, vice president. The dispensary services companies with anywhere from 50 workers to 10,000 employees and about half of Thomas's business is done by going on site to dispense SRx, visiting clients anywhere from once a quarter to once a week.Because manufacturing in the United States has been shrinking, with hiring down as well, getting into the retail aspect was essential to staying competitive. Being where the work is was also important; one of the three locations is in Deer Park, Texas, right near the ship channel that services the chemical plants and refineries are among Thomas' clients.LENSES: SURVEYING THE OPTIONSSafety eyewear comes in all materials, but the advent of the ANSI Z87.1-2003 standard three years ago has led to polycarbonate becoming the lens of choice for employees needing SRx to stay compliant in the workplace.At Wolfe Eye Centers, with 18 locations in Iowa, 20 percent of its business is SRx and 95 percent of the safety jobs dispensed at the Fairfield store are done with polycarbonate lenses, according to optician Cheryl Miller.Fortney Eyecare, with six locations in southeastern Michigan, serving the automotive industry, also has a 20 percent SRx business. According to president and owner, Bill Fortney, Jr., polycarbonate lenses are used in 95 percent of its SRx jobs, up 30 percent since the standard was enacted. "The standard made it easier to sell poly," says Fortney. "It's thinner and lighter than plastic or glass. We only dispense glass on a special needs case." Miller at Wolfe Eye Centers also sees very few SRx jobs done in glass anymore.But glass has always been on the losing end of the lens spectrum in this category. The big change brought in by widespread acceptance of polycarbonate has been fewer SRx jobs in plastic or high-index lens material.TURNING TO TRIVEXWhile polycarbonate is dominating the SRx category, there are cases when dispensing Trivex is desirable. According to Miller, when someone is getting rimless safety eyewear, "We encourage Trivex over polycarbonate. It's scratch resistant and more sturdy than poly."At Northwest Optical in Ashland, Wis., Dennis DeCourcy, manager and optician, notes patients with detached retinas, chromatism, and more peripheral vision than central vision, often benefit from wearing Trivex in their safety eyewear. "The low Abbe values in Trivex work really well," he says. Safety Optical's Matt Thomas finds Trivex is a good choice for patients with higher powers in the prescriptions.Heartland's Casey Conrad has found many patients who "reject" polycarbonate due to a variety of optical problems and finds Trivex a good remedy for their safety eyewear needs. Conrad finds one in 30 people wind up in Trivex after finding their vision using polycarbonate resulted in blurriness or peripheral distortions. "Trivex has the optics of glass, but the impact resistance of polycarbonate," he says.Currently, a major factor in Trivex being dispensed less frequently is a higher price than plastic or polycarbonate. "Trivex will become more important," adds Conrad. "It's just a matter of more people entering the marketplace. It has great optics." LT

well , i've been pondering to start reading it or not..if I understand well. it has no meaning cause it ends ?
You can still read it Sunan. The author had to quickly wrap up the storyline but i think he did a good job with it.

I like how he ended it, it was a closed enough ending that it doesn't need anymore, but it left enough room to continue it if he can.

well , i finish it. it is really a shame if it ended..it is actually a very good manga. what astonished me the most..is the pace of the story.
in the majority of manga we read..it always begin rather strongly to fall into a complete classic story..and little annoying.
is it really well built..don't get japanese..at all.
Well that apart , thanks for the advice Arhazivory ! /kiss /lick you
and thanks for the sig ^^

I agree fully and that's why I liked it. Most manga are so stereotypical of shounen. One guy who's kinda weak but holds some great strength etc etc etc. But this plot was so original and that's what attracted me to it. Then the people went and killed it. Bunch a haters!
^Birthday Sig & Ava from Mikessc88 <3 v Birthday Sig from Imotochan <3
That being said, I call conspiracy. WSJ is up to no good.
It is such as shame that it got axed in the middle T.T
It has nice story unlike others typical shounen
Sometimes I just wonders how Japanese thinks
Let us hope that it will be the continuation of DA in the Jump Square

Barbara's Book Club—Twenty Years of Good Reading
When two newly-retired teachers, finally free from papers and preparations, decided it would be nice to read something other than Old Yeller and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, our book club was born. Our first meeting was in September, 1993, and our first book was The Bridges of Madison County. At that time we reached a consensus on a few basic rules: maintain a membership size that would be comfortable for meeting in our homes, females only, members are expected to read the book agreed upon, keep refreshments simple. At its inception, our club was simply known as "Book Club."
Over the twenty years of our existence, our membership has varied from six or seven women to as many as twelve. Our format is that annually each member chooses a book that she would like to read and discuss. For several years, we bought our own copy of each book. Then one of our members, Dawn Clark, alerted us to the fact that it was possible to coordinate with North Central Washington Regional Library to schedule lending multiple copies of our chosen books for a given month. We explored this possibility, and have now availed ourselves of this wonderful service. Paula Walters has done all the scheduling for us, and we are deeply indebted to this very competent and patient lady for all the help she has given us.
An added benefit of procuring our books from the library is that we often receive a set of Reader's Guide questions along with our books. This has helped to keep our discussions on track. We do not operate with a moderator; we simply begin our discussion and over the years have found that this encourages all members to get involved. We have read a great variety of literature ranging from light, highly entertaining novels to classics, biographies, histories, poetry, and plays. Connie Bean has served as our historian and coordinator for several years, keeping track of books read, meeting dates and hostesses. Because of her record-keeping, we have determined that to date, we have read at least 208 books over the twenty years.
One of the greatest fringe benefits of our club has been the meaningful friendships that we've formed over the years. Twenty years has brought many joys and many sorrows to members, and there is always a strong sense of support from fellow members. In November, 2007, one of our members, Barbara Smith, a dear friend to all of us, passed away. That prompted us to change our club's name to Barbara's Book Club. We have many precious memories of this remarkable lady.
Cicero said, "A room without books, is like a body without a soul." It's even better when you have good friends with whom who can share books. Here's to book clubs around the world!
NCRL has over 300 book clubs. I think it is amazing that we have so many people that like to get together each month and share comments about the book they have read. How wonderful that Barbara's Book Club has been together for twenty years. Whether your group has been together for twenty years or one year I would like to hear from you. Please email me with comments about your club. My email address is on our Website on the Book Club page.

Very Cute Sandal!
"Love these sandals!!! I have not worn these out yet but I've strutted around my house in them and they are tooooo cute! I love the gold details on the cuff and toe strap - very unique! I didn't know if I was going to like these at first but once I got them on I was sprung! And the little wedge just tops it off. This sandal does run a little long. I ordered a 7.5 - my usual size - and there is extra space at the tip of the shoe (a good amount of gold shows from under my toes) but it's not that bad where I needed to return them for a 7 (which probably would be perfect). In either case, very comfy and sexy sandal that goes great with shorts/capris, skirts, and dresses!"

Go Down A Size!
"These sandals are super cute and can be dressed up or down and worn with pretty much anything. However... Mine ran quite long. I'm an 8.5 on the nose and when these arrived, they even looked too big. When I tried them on, way too big... Almost a size and a half too big. There may be some that just run long, as other reviewers have experienced. These were ridiculously too big, though. I'm hoping to exchange these and wear them with everything!"

The fountain has been completed! We hope you like it as much as we do. The third picture below is the design for our next fountain! :-)
Rosemarie Melnik replied on Permalink
It's a beautiful fountain; however, there should be a sign warning onlookers that it is NOT A WISHING FOUNTAIN, as most fountains welcome. After attending the family movie night yesterday with my daughter and two grandchildren who made excitedly special wishes by tossing coins in the fountain as they do at other fountains (Frankfort Library, Zabrocki Plaza, etc.) a library employee snippily told us not to toss coins because it will block the water flow. We had to tell them to PRETEND toss the coin but still make a wish. The fountain is especially important to my special needs granddaughter from Frankfort who visits so often and looks forward with such joy since she was 1 year old to highlight her visit with wishes into the previous fountain. She had a brain aneurysm four years ago and can no longer walk, talk or eat but she smiles and gets excited when we tell her we are going to the Tinley Park Library fountain. The new fountain and the benches surrounding it emanate a wonderful, peaceful area to read and ponder. Thanks.

Thank you for writing. We are not certain who gave you this information, but it is perfectly acceptable to toss a coin into our fountain. We hope that you and your family will enjoy visiting our fountain (and our library) for years to come!

Skip to comments.Obama: Americans voted for tax hikes on rich
Posted on 11/09/2012 5:05:29 PM PST by Sub-Driver
Obama: Americans voted for tax hikes on rich By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket 5 hrs ago
Claiming a mandate from his election romp over Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama announced on Friday that he had invited congressional leaders to the White House next week for talks on how to steer the battered economy away from a "fiscal cliff." Obama said he was open to compromise with Republicansbut that any final deal needed to raise taxes on the richest Americans.
"This was a central question during the election," the president said in brief remarks in the East Room of the White House. "It was debated over and over again, and on Tuesday night we found out that a majority of Americans agree with my approach.
"Our job now is to get a majority in Congress to reflect the will of the American people," Obama said. "I'm not wedded to every detail of my plan. I'm open to compromise. I'm open to new ideas. I'm committed to solving our fiscal challenges. But I refuse to accept any approach that isn't balanced."
The president, who did not take questions on Friday, campaigned in part on a plan that would extend most of the Bush-era tax cuts, but allow them to expire for individuals making more than $200,000 or families pulling in $250,000. Republicans have said they want to prolong all of those rate reductions.
Obama said, as he has all year, that this means both sides agree on extending the middle-class reductionsand that doing so should not require "long negotiations or drama. ... Let's extend the middle-class tax cuts right now. Let's do that right now." (Republicans have resisted; extending those rates would reduce the party's leverage on tax hikes affecting the wealthy.)
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
No, they voted for free contraception, amnesty for illegal aliens, and subsidized abortion.
You forgot food stamps and Obama phones..I wonder when Obama will send the bill to his rich celebrity buddies who all were giddy like kids on Christmas morning when the Commie was re-elected..I wonder if they will have to pay their "Fair share" I wouldn't mind seeing those scum bags having to give up a big chunk of their wealth..but I doubt it, they will probably get waivers..the people who didnt vote for the douche bag will be forced to flip the bill
No, half of all Americans didn't vote. Of the half that voted, half voted for free stuff.
Hmm, let that bum dig his own grave. The more he says things like this, the more he'll have to scramble for excuses when things come crashing down.
Maybe some of them didn't think that was what they voted for, but mindless as they were, that is exactly what they voted for.
Americans voted for MORE TAXES ON DEMOCRATS.
"Next to inflation, majority rule is the most ingenious scheme ever contrived by government. Most people have never dared to question the basic morality or logic in the assumption that the majority should have power over the minority. A majority of the people in the South once believed in black slavery. Did that make it moral? A lynch mob is majority rule stripped of its fancy trappings and its facade of respectability. In a community where homosexuals outnumber heterosexuals, should the majority have the right to outlaw sex between married partners of the opposite sex? In a community where atheists outnumber non- atheists, should the majority have the right to outlaw the practice of religion? ... a dictatorship allows only a small number of people to interfere with the rights of others, a democracy makes it possible for great numbers of people to impose their will on others — through the force of government. Is an act of aggression more right if carried out by the majority than by a dictator? Since approximately half the eligible voters vote this means that approximately 75% of the people are ruled by 25% of the people."
Robert Ringer
No, the Hispanics voted for government hand-outs. Single women voted for free contraceptives and abortion drugs. Blacks voted for ObamaPhones and food stamps. College kids voted to make themselves feel important. University professors voted to turn this country into a Socialist country like Europe has.
So, no, there was no mandate to raise taxes, jug ears.
But, a P.S. - every American will suffer from higher taxation, higher gas prices, a weaker economy, few jobs available, a subdued and ineffective military - and we'll all soon see moves to begin 'one world government.'
LOL - anything goes now, anything whatsoever the bastard wants to do!
Yeah, but not us evil whiteys. We voted for jobs.
Dig this. People who pay no taxes voted to raise other people's taxes.
I don't consider 200K rich or 250K for a family rich you may be more well of than others but wealthy no and besides
that it is not the governments money.
I say let him have his taxes. Let them have everything they want. It'll all come back to haunt them soon enough when their own constituents take violently to the streets just as they're doing in Greece now.
Well then just raise the ones who voted for a tax increase... never mind
You left out a few things:
Free contraceptives, and then free abortions if they forgot to take their contraceptives.
Free cell phones
College loan forgiveness
California voted to keep the $500 million/ month payments from Washington to CA to keep their pension system afloat. Don't count on us getting any of that back
Food stamps
They are already getting tax increases.
Taxes are due to go up in January when the Bush cuts expire.
since when, in this country, did a majority vote get to decide how much of someone else's wealth to confiscate? Have we forgotten about individual sovereignty and private property? Quite frankly, 99% of the people have no say in how much taxes the 1% pay, no say whatsoever... it's call theft where I grew up.
When my taxes go up, my spending and investing gets cut - it's that simple - 0bama can try to have a recovery without me.
Begin by making sure whatever tax is implemented will make sure that rich people like Buffet has to pay. Under the Buffet rule, and/or letting the Bush tax cuts for individuals expire, Buffet won't be paying more.
Buffet doesn't make a million dollars in income. Last I looked he only made 100 thousand dollars salary from his company, and around 75,000 for director fees. This would make him exempt from the taxes Obama proposes as paying his fair share.
So Obama is letting the billionaire skate while people making only $200,000 are asked to pay the billionaire's fair share, and almost half of Americans don't pay income taxes, and some get more taxes back than they pay in.
Somehow, I don't think Americans would consider that fair if they understood it.
If Obama really wants to get money from those rascally rich people, he could implement a tax on their net worth as well as a tax on their tax-dodge foundations.
If Obama wants the rich to pay more, then his proposals are dumb as a box of rocks. So he's either stupid or has some other goal.
Maybe we should all write Letters to the Editor in all our news papers and expose this fraudulent proposal.
Teach a man to fish, and he'll spend the rest of his life in a boat, drinking beer.
Even in victory the president has to bring out the class warfare card. I'm so tired of this. Overspending put us where we are today and not the wealthy getting tax breaks. I'm so frustrated that too many of our fellow citizens resent wealthy and successful people.
he's a lying scumbag...yeah I said it, scumbag
then half of all Americans earned the right to not have any political influence.
Americans voted to raise someone else's taxes. The jokes is on them, many people that earn $250,000 a year and over file their business on their personal taxes. When you raise their taxes they raise the cost of goods and services and pass this rise in the cost of doing business on to the consumer. They won't be paying for this tax hike, those that voted for it will.
"Everybody shouuld pay their fair share?"...tax entitlements!
Actually, Obama won the election by a margin of 50-48.
And, if I'm not mistaken, the Republicans won the House by a popular vote margin of 53-47.
Thus, it can be effectively argued that, in fact, Americans did NOT vote for "tax hikes on the rich".
How 'bout those union auto workers in Ohio that voted for "O". Forget about the natural gas now known to be in abundance in Ohio that will not be produced. When the auto sales drop like a rock for GM because so many will be out of work those worker will face layoffs. Many will not buy GM these days because of the bailout for the unions.
Sold mine that i originally bought to support America, crappy SUV.
Sold it for an American Made Toyota to an idiot Liberal! Some things just make me smile!:)
I will never buy a GM or a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep again - My next vehicles will be Fords or Foreign.
FU Obama. The Congress makes the laws. They reflect the will of the people. In fact, the House, as our founders intended, most closely represents the will the people. Obama thinks he is a dictator.
Aso, all of that Natural Gas in Ohio is on private land - even 0zero cannot stop that - not even with a carbon tax.
The nat gas boom in Ohio is why the unemployment rate is at 7% there and getting better - also why Ohio voted more 0zero
Not me, ya' jackass.
Obama said he was open to compromise with Republicansbut that any final deal needed to raise taxes on the richest Americans.
"This was a central question during the election," the president said in brief remarks in the East Room of the White House.
I'll comment.
This is "I won." the sequel, and half the country is ready to secede.
The best half.
That's strange - out here in AZ I never saw that on the ballot. IN fact just the opposite occurred - the American citizens kept the Government divided so as to constrain the spendthrift ZERO. No one said anything about supporting TAXES - the person in the WH is clearly delusional.
"It was debated over and over again, and on Tuesday night we found out that a majority of Americans agree with my approach."
I wonder if this ahole ever had an independent thought in his whole miserable life. The majority of the country voted to raise taxes on the rich...wow, there is a surprise. Frankly, I would give him what he wants except i would raise the rates to confiscatory levels. Let's kill this place quickly. You want 40%, gee, I an raise your 40 to 95 easily. Meanwhile, the majority of voters in some states want to secede. Does that mean they get their way too, I think it should. You can have your 95% tax rates on the rich, free bc pills, obama phones and the like. We will just leave, have a flat tax and few bennies and you can GFYs.
Time for some anarchy followed by a coup. I think the choice may be between a benevolent right wing dictatorship that allows a reasonable amount of capitalism vs a tyrannical leftist dictatorship. One of the beneficial side effects of a right wing dictatorship might be an improvement in the gene pool.
I'm tired of playing nice.
We have a winner!
The rich mostly voted for him...so, give them what they want. The economy is wrecked, anyway. Get rid of their foundation loopholes, too. Go at 'em.
No they didn't. I bet there were at least a million faked votes fom the White House.
The Bush Tax Cuts are going to be allowed to expire as part of the compromise. The taxes on those making more than $200,000 are on top of these tax increases. Then, add in Obamacare taxes.
They were given a clear choice in the final week of the election: "Revenge" or "Love of Country". They chose revenge.
Revenge against "the man". Revenge against the rich. Revenge against everybody that has won life's lottery and isn't sharing with them. It's the French Revolution all over again, only this time it's being instigated by the "crown".
MFer thinks he Robbing Hood.
"I dont consider 200K rich or 250K for a family rich "
It is by the standard of a third world country, which is exactly Obama's vision for America.
He wants to turn America into a version of Mexico.
Boys and girls we're being led from behind. Don't
bend FORWARD unless you want to find out why.

The Future of Digital Learning: California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) Launches First-of-its-Kind Interactive Classroom
Click here for a selection of high resolution photos of CalArts N2N classroom.
Learning from one another in real time, students collaborate in a digital classroom with sonic and visual access to everyone in the room.
Interactive format supports innovative arts-based computer science curriculum developed to teach basic skills to novices.
The N2N, "many to many," digital classroom was developed by Ajay Kapur at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) and Ge Wang at Stanford University.
January 29, Valencia, CA—Modern education demands new ways of teaching—especially in the arts and sciences. California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) has launched a first-of-its kind digital classroom designed specifically to teach computer science to non-traditional students in the arts and humanities—and in the process, created a prototype for new forms of collaborative learning across the disciplines. The class, Introduction to Programming for Digital Artists, combines an arts-based approach with the unique qualities of the N2N classroom. Together, the class and digital platform forecast future directions in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) curriculums.
Most commonly, media education is taught in a "one-to-many" fashion, with instructors conveying information to students working on individual laptops. CalArts' N2N "many-to-many" classroom is configured to give each student immediate sonic and visual access to everyone in the room. Student workstations consist of a laptop, hemispherical speaker array, controllers for music making, and a large-scale digital display. Creating a collaborative environment, the stations are arranged in a circle so that students can observe each other's work on the large-scale screens.
N2N technology opens the way for a variety of new teaching methodologies in which each student plays a vital role in the development of the learning process and outcome. In the first semester of, Introduction to Programming for Digital Artists novice computer science students, working in the N2N classroom are introduced to object-oriented computer music programming languages—and will use their newly acquired skills to create musical compositions.
"By enabling students to actively engage with potentially all other students at every stage of learning, and by developing a dedicated curriculum for this type of classroom, learning processes will not only be enriched and accelerated, but fundamentally transformed," said Ajay Kapur, Associate Dean for Research and Development in Digital Arts, and Director of the Music Technology: Interaction, Intelligence and Design (MTIID) at CalArts.
As artists of all disciplines—visual artists, performing artists and musicians—use technology in their creative practice, it becomes increasingly important to provide educational opportunities that encourage interaction between the arts and science. By offering rigorous STEM courses taught in a creative, participatory manner made possible by the N2N classroom, CalArts' takes a leading role in the future of STEM education.
The N2N, digital platform was developed by Ajay Kapur at CalArts and Ge Wang, Assistant Professor at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. The schools will remotely network to bring faculty and students from both institutions together for collaborative education and projects.
Innovative technology projects from CalArts have been widely covered in the press including Wired, The Chronicle of Higher Education and CNET. Read more here.
Press is invited to visit CalArts and observe this new digital classroom in action. To schedule a visit please contact Margaret Crane at 661 222 2787.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Digital Video
In the absence of NBC or Microsoft coming clean about what they've done -
what flags NBC sent, and what flags Microsoft obeys, we've been doing some detective
work of our own -- and we'd like your help.
NBC have already said that their activation of their copy-control system was
a "mistake". But when the next mistake occurs is the best chance to uncover what
copy-protection Vista obeys on digital, over-the-air TV.
We're looking to obtain raw data dumps of the ATSC stream next time your
copy of Vista chokes on an over-the-air digital TV feed.
While its customers are still puzzling over why Vista Media Center
is suddenly refusing to record over-the-air NBC digital TV, Microsoft has come out
with an astounding admission, courtesy of Greg Sandoval at CNet News:
"Microsoft included technologies in Windows based on rules set forth by the (Federal Communications Commission)," a Microsoft spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail to CNET News.com. "As part of these regulations, Windows Media Center fully adheres to the flags used by broadcasters and content owners to determine how their content is distributed and consumed."
After further investigation of reports of Vista refusing to record NBC, we have found at least one case where a user receiving digital TV over-the-air has been blocked from recording TV shows. Justin Sanders, who took this screenshot, says he was recording Raleigh's HDTV channel WNCN-DT1 on his Vista machine when a popup stating that "restrictions set by the broadcaster ... prohibit recording of this program" appeared.
This is significant: this is the first case we've heard of equipment voluntarily obeying broadcast flag-like restrictions on TV content digitally broadcast over-the-air.
Reports are coming in of digital video recording systems refusing to record NBC programs - both on digital cable and over-the-air transmissions.
We're still investigating whether these involved over-the-air digital TV, which would mean that NBC was the first broadcaster to attempt to revive the abandoned ATSC "broadcast flag" (as opposed to cable and analog copy control signals like CGMS-A which have been used before).
The immense popularity of sites like YouTube has unexpectedly turned Flash Video (FLV) into one of the de facto standards for Internet video. The proliferation of sites using FLV has been a boon for remix culture, as creators made their own versions of posted videos. And thus far there has been no widespread DRM standard for Flash or Flash Video formats; indeed, most sites that use these formats simply serve standalone, unencrypted files via ordinary web servers.

Master Title Plats
The website to access electronic images of master title plats and use plats for Montana and the Dakotas is now http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/. Once there, click on "Search LSRs" (land status records) to search for plats.
MTPs and related records were developed in the 1950s under the Records Improvement Process (RIP). Information was extracted from the General Land Office tract books and plats, and used to create MTPs and Historical Indexes (HIs). Areas where MTPs exist are referred to as the new records area, and tract book records exist on microfilm. If an MTP wasn't created (because of no federal land or mineral interest), the area is referred to as the old records area, and our office still maintains the original tract books. Researchers need to refer to tract books and GLO plats for status information in the old records areas. (All of Montana is in the new records area, but the eastern parts of North and South Dakota are the old records area.)
A MTP is a graphic illustration of land and mineral status within a township. The base of the MTP is based on the most recent survey information. MTPs are continually updated as status or survey information changes.
If there is a lot of detail within a small area, a supplemental plat is created (enlarging the detail for easier drafting and reading).
A Use Plat is created for certain uses, such as oil and gas leasing (OG Plat), coal leasing, and other minerals. If a use plat has been created, it will be noted on the lower right hand corner of the MTP.
The term Master Title Plats as used here includes not only the Master Title Plats (MTPs) and Township plats, but Oil and Gas plats and supplemental Oil and Gas plats. Additional plats will be posted as they become available in digital format.
The application to access the electronic images of the master title plats and use plats for Montana and the Dakotas are now available on the Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States (BLM-ES) General Land Office (GLO) Records Web Site. The website is http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/.
The Explanatory Township shows most of the types of lines used along with the information conveyed by each, and an explanation of various notations that can be found on the plat. The Legend is a listing of abbreviations and symbols, as well as a brief description of features that can appear on the Master Title Plat or Use Plat. Click on the state's name to see a Montana (1.3 mb), North Dakota (921 kb), or South Dakota (2.2 mb) township & range map for reference.
For additional information about MTPs or HIs, contact the Montana/Dakotas Public Room.

I wonder if Petrus is the one to be cut. Tryon is good on special teams and occasionally in sub packages, and I would say that he would be gone, if not for our secondary being so banged up.
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!

Look kind of cool, but not very comfortable
"Exactly as the title says, they look kind of cool (especially since they are not just stark white, but sort of an off-white), but they aren't very comfortable (stiff leather, for one), so I decided to return them. But maybe someone else would be willing to overlook their discomfort or not find them uncomfortable."

If We Had No Moon DVD
In the If We Had No Moon DVD, scientists discuss how a rogue planet crashed into the earth millions of years ago. The outcome: the Moon. In a Moon and Earth DVD, watch as scientists use state-of-the-art simulations to show the collision and discuss how everything around us would be different. Or more likely, nonexistent.
If We Had No Moon DVD, consider what life on earth would be like without the moon? Well, chances are, there wouldn't be any life on earth without the moon. In an Earth DVD, life if it had started at all would still be in the earliest stages of evolution.
Scientists use the latest computer simulations to show how an ancient rogue planet Orpheus collided with the earth millions of years ago, producing a sizable chunk of debris that eventually became our moon. Watch in the Universe DVD, how if that collision had never occurred, we would live in a very different place. Imagine a moon-less weather report blizzards over the Sahara, flood waters swallowing the Pyramids, 90 degree temperatures in Antarctica. In If We Had No Moon DVD, as the earth wobbles on its axis unsecured by the moon's gravitational pull the polar caps would grow and recede at frightening rates. And without the moon, our planet would spin much faster meaning four-hour days and searing temperatures.
Worse yet, in the Earth DVD, evidence reveals that we are in fact losing our grip on our lunar friend thanks to the ebb and flow of the oceans' tides. Experts reveal theories for salvaging the moon including hijacking Europa from Jupiter and demonstrate how we can prepare ourselves for our eventual life without it.
Shop for a fascinating Moon DVD and delve into the possibility that life as we know it, is a direct affect of an ancient planetary collision that produced the Moon, which affects weather, gravitational pull and much, much more.
