By Charlie Mitchell
Suppose President Obama was a room with Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant. Suppose they had time to kill and no one to talk to except each other. Would they have common ground for chit-chat?
Yes. In a word, they agree wholeheartedly on "transparency."
America's leader and Mississippi's chief executive have, throughout their careers, consistently favored keeping government operations as open to the public as possible. Both say openness and inclusion is foundational, a key asset the United States has and so many other nations don't.
Said President Obama: "My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government. We will work together to ensure public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in government."
Gov. Bryant, when serving as lieutenant governor, guided to unanimous passage live webcasting of state Senate sessions. He also guided comprehensive ethics reforms that require all elected officials to file their background reports online. And in campaigning for governor, Bryant told every Rotary Club, every political rally, every individual who shook his hand that he had little tolerance for those who failed to respect the right of citizens to know the whys and whats of government activity at all levels.
So what's the problem?
Just as there's a wide gulf between Obama and Bryant in their politics, there's a wide gulf between their ideals and actions.
How wide?
A Bloomberg study last summer reported that 57 major federal agencies were asked for executive travel reports. Obama directed that type of request to be answered in 20 days. Eight agencies complied, 49 did not, the report said.
Too, the Sunlight Foundation has documented that USAspending.gov, the administration's pride and joy for full disclosure of government spending, had misreported more than $1.2 trillion in 2009 spending alone. So that begs the question: What good is "full access" if the access leads to bad, incorrect information?
For his part, Gov. Bryant last week signed "emergency" legislation to seal immediately the names of people who choose to buy open-carry gun permits. There is no way to overstate the fact that this change in a 1991 law has absolutely zero effect. No one is required to buy a permit and those who do don't list weapons they own. The records had been open, akin to lists of charities, businesses, CPAs, certified teachers and others with state registrations, for 22 years — but to make some kind of statement in support of gun rights the provision was stampeded to passage. Open government be damned if there's political hay to be made.
So why does transparency matter?
In their words if not their deeds, Obama and Bryant make clear it's not a perk for the press.
Yes, there are cases, including The Sun-Herald's recent efforts to make public the spending records of the Department of Marine Resources, where the ire of citizens might justifiably be aroused. There are times when reporters fulfill their watchdog duties and use government records to illustrate that the public's money is not being spent for legal or ethical purposes.
The newspaper that serves the Mississippi Gulf Coast has been dogged — because it has had to be dogged — in obtaining information that everyone involved — including attorneys on the state payroll — agreed was in the public domain. At every turn, reporters were told "you can't know that" purely because letting the public know how some of their money had been spent might prove embarrassing to those in charge of spending it.
But we need to be clear about this: The press has no right of access that doesn't belong equally to each and every citizen of the state and nation.
The larger purpose of open government laws is to preserve what Abraham Lincoln called "government of the people, by the people and for the people."
President Obama also expressed this with eloquence: "Information maintained by the federal government is a national asset," he said. "Public engagement enhances the government's effectiveness and improves the quality of its decisions."
As we all know – and as we all see – saying is one thing; doing is another.
President Obama's heart is clearly in the right place when it comes to open government and so is Gov. Bryant's. It's up to the public, though to constantly remind them that it's in the best interest of government as well as the best interest of the public to be "transparent."
A little less talk and a lot more action wouldn't be a bad thing.

Your view of the flourishing grape arbors at the foot of Tel Lachish, southwest of Jerusalem, is the same one, amazingly, that the Assyrian conqueror Sennacherib had over 1,300 years ago. The view so impressed Sennacherib the when he boasted of his conquest of Lachish in reliefs on his palace in Nineveh, he adorned them with grapevines. (The original panels are in the British Museum and reproductions are on display at the Israel Museum, but reproductions are to be installed right at the site by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and Tel Aviv University.) Visitors can still see the evidence of King Sennacherib's destruction (2 Kings 18:14, Is. 36:2) in the remains of a massive siege ramp.
Climbing the path up the 50-meter-high mound, you'll pass through a gateway the Babylonians must have stormed in 586 CE. Here, the famed "Lachish letters" were unearthed. In one, a Judean commander, probably fighting the Babylonians, writes that he cannot see the signal fires from Lachish. The unobstructed panorama helps you understand the dread these words contain. You'll also see the remains of a palace, the largest First Temple structure ever unearthed, and monumental column bases from a Persian-period palace. The "great well," over 120 feet deep, which provided water to the city in First Temple times, is another highlight.

Alex Shinn, has written a library for scheme that does formatting tasks in a functional style, the fmt library. In this library there is a package for outputting c code. Let's play with that.
A next step might be to be able schemify c code. e.g. introduce <define>, <let*>, <begin>, <if> and <recur> + the operators. The innovation needed to do this is to make sure that everything return values and are able to be composed together with some kind of "sewing" mechanism.
The idea of attacking this is to try keep everything functional as far as possible and then at the final step add syntactic sugars in the form of macros. When trying to do this one realizes that we need two phases of evaluation. The reason are this, consider a function application:
int f(int), ---------------- f((<let*> ((a (+ b c))) (<if> q a b)) + b)?Now the idea of modelling is to let the statments evaluate to a lambda that takes as an argument #f or a symbol. The lambda applied to a symbol will mean that the result of that expression will generate c-code where the tail expressions will set the symbol to the return result. so we do stuff like,
(define (f-if p x y) (lambda (ret) (let ((pred (gensym "pred")) (c-block (c-var 'int pred) ; define pred integer (p pred) ; execute p expression ; pred is the result (c-if pred (x ret) (y ret))))))This will illustrate the technique (we are using autoquoting features in the macro package). Over to the function application. Here we conclude that in order to be general we need to use
(int arg) ((((<let*> ((a (+ b c))) (<if> q a b)) + b) arg) (c= ret `(f ,arg))E.g. we introduce an arg symbol to be able to set it. Doing this we need to know about the function signature. Designing the <define> as a function means that we are not able to register the function signature before the body is evaluated and the function signature needed in case of recursion. So one need one extra lambda dereference. I thught that was too complicated though and used macros in stead to accomplish correct registration order.
The function example lack some wow factor. But for the loop construct in clambda, the <recur> statement, it's a must. Here is how the idea of this works
(<recur> loop ((int n 100) (int s 0) (<if> (< n 0) s (<next> loop (+ s 314)))) ==================================== Aproximate translation ==================================== int n = 100; int s = 0 loop: if (n < 0) ret = s; else { s = s + 314; goto loop; }
This is kind of handy loop construct and again one need to register the loop symbols this time in order to be able to expand the <next> statement later on.
This is about 300 lines of code. For 600 I guess you would be able to introduce a good enough c to produce workable code with syntax line numbers introduced as well to be able to debug after gcc has found your bugs.
Now this is not that complicated and everything is just a quite simple idea of syntactic sugars. But this will enable scheme macro facilities to your c-code (for one thing you will be able to track source code line numbers to be able to debug your macros correctly. Also going between clambda and pure scheme is a smaller step then between c and scheme this means that you can keep a large part of say guile c-code both in c and scheme at the same time.
Have fun

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA Rulemaking
Last month, EFF and I scored a major victory for video game archiving, preservation and play – we got an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for some archival activities related to video games.
Before I throw a bunch of shade, I want to emphasize that the exemption is a victory for the video game archiving community. Although there were flaws in what the Library of Congress granted, more legal leeway in this space is a net positive.
The new rules for exemptions to copyright's DRM-circumvention laws were issued today, and the Librarian of Congress has granted much of what EFF asked for over the course of months of extensive briefs and hearings.
Far too often Congress proposes tech legislation that is either poorly researched or poorly drafted (or both). Fortunately, most of the bills don't advance. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to dissuade Congress from constantly writing these types of bills. The House Energy and Commerce Committee released such a bill last week. It's only a discussion draft and hasn't been introduced as a formal bill yet, but its provisions would not only effectively put the brakes on car security research, but also immunize auto manufactures from FTC privacy enforcement when (not if) they fail to secure our cars. It's a classic one-two punch from Congress: not understanding something and then deciding to draft a bill about it anyway.
Automakers argue that it's unlawful for independent researchers to look at the code that controls vehicles without the manufacturer's permission. We've explained before how this allows manufacturers to prevent competition in the markets for add-on technologies and repair tools. It also makes it harder for watchdogs to find safety or security issues, such as faulty code that can lead to unintended acceleration or vulnerabilities that let an attacker take over your car.
There's a reason "librarians everywhere" were singled out for an EFF Pioneer award in 2000. Time and again, in fights against censorship and intrusive surveillance laws, librarians have been allies of the public, serving as the institutional representation of the ideals of intellectual freedom, unfettered speech, and reader privacy.

I've been experimenting with how we can use tabs inside Thunderbird.
The previous tabbing post already discussed how tabs help people to keep their current context and multi-task more flexibly. I've created a number of designs that look into using tabs in Thunderbird so email users can have the same kind of power over their context.
In Tabs By Default
To keep your current context of email reading, searches will open up in a new tab by default. Such that anytime you're in the All Mail tab and start a search the results will open in a new tab. Opening up the Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts will also open up by default in a new tab as well. Tabs will need to be fast to open.
Tab Shortcuts
Much like you could want quick bookmarks to open up the web pages that you access frequently Thunderbird needs a way for users to open up different types of tabs that are unique and used frequently.
Tab shortcuts allow us to offer a default set of tab locations that users may want to open. We can also offer this location up to extensions to enable them to add in their own shortcuts for items like CRMs, Thunderbrowse, and other elements that would want to be opened up in tabs.
With shortcuts we should also focus on some ideas for preventing people from opening up too many tabs of the same interface. Perhaps something that (on mouse over) shows you the other tabs of that type already opened.
New Tabs / Summary Views
Sometimes you just want a new tab to start fresh, there are lots of reasons to start a new tab. For this we have a new tab button that allows Thunderbird users to open a new, empty tab.
Upon opening a new tab Thunderbird could just show a blank page and focus the search bar. However it would probably make more sense to use the opportunity to open up a summary view page while the search bar is focused.
This summary page could use the widget system that Spicebird uses or just give a static summary of your mail, events, and tasks. Adding in items for recent searches could be good as well. Pulling information from places like whoisi about my contacts could be another interesting element to this summary page.
There's still lots of work to be done and issues to understand; this design work isn't finalized. For tracking the Thunderbird tab work that's planned for Thunderbird 3, see bug 21899 where I'll be posting more comments and designs. Comments on this blog are always appreciated as well.

Ludovic Bagman's goblin creditors
this wiki
|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
These creditors were a group of goblins that had lent Ludo Bagman a large amount of gold.
When it came to repaying his debt, Bagman gave the goblins Leprechaun gold, which would disappear after a few hours. As such, the goblins were furious, and tracked him down during the 422nd Quidditch World Cup in 1994, and stripped him of everything he had on him, most of which came from his recent gambling winnings.
Eventually, the group of creditors calculated that even with all the money they got from Bagman, it was still not enough to pay off the debt completely, and they tracked him down again in Hogwarts for further payment. However, as Bagman lost all his money gambling, he could not pay them. As such, the goblins kept a close watch on Bagman so he could not escape them.
When Harry Potter's name came out of the Goblet of Fire and becoming the fourth champion of the Triwizard Tournament, Bagman made a double-or-nothing bet against the goblins: the Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports gambled for Harry's victory in the tournament.
Eventually, Harry did win the tournament in the third task, but was also tied with Cedric Diggory for both of them touching the Triwizard Cup at the same time, and since both their scores were equal, it was a double victory. The goblin creditors took this into account, saying that Harry did not win, but instead tied with Diggory, which went against Bagman's bet for Harry's sole victory. Therefore, Bagman lost and his debt greatly increased.
However, right after this loss, Bagman immediately fled. It is unknown if the goblins ever caught Bagman, but due to this cheat, the general goblin population has their already strained trust towards wizards even more damaged, which influenced their decision of not willing to participate in the Second Wizarding War.
Personality and TraitsEdit
The group of goblins are typical for their race: they hold debts and repayment to the highest order, and tracked down Bagman and took everything he had for the money they loaned him. However, they do like to gamble, and was willing to bet with Bagman for his marker, in the hopes of winning more money. Just like Bagman, they can turn very nasty in gambling, using clever loopholes to prevent Bagman from winning, saying that since the results are not specifically what the man wagered, he did not win. They also lost their trust in humans when he fled from this final loss.

Kevin (AFC Coolwaters Hawkeye aka Legend X AFC Coolwaters Storm Chaser aka Chase) is 6 months old today.
I have been training him in a manner modeling his training very closely to Bill Hillmans puppy video. I did not steady him to sit as Bill does, but wish now I had. I have done OB and FFed many dogs for a lot of clients and a reasonably successfully pro trainer and this is the first I have done this with very little of what we traditionally call pressure, just almost all positive. He is my dog and although he was somewhat expensive, and worth it, I had little to lose in trying a different method. From the start he was very intelligent, birdy, attentive with a lot of eye contact and seemed easy to train. I have done enough of them in the more traditional manner that my back up plan was to go that route if I was not satisfied where we were headed.
I have him CCed to HERE, HEEL, and SIT and his OB is pretty good but not great. That is by design. i wanted to keep him crazy for retrieving, knowing I could slow him down later. You will see in the videos, he is ready to go. I will tighten it up in the next few weeks.
Normally I am just starting Hold and Fetch at this age because of teething, but we have moved right through this at an earlier than normal age and not far from really getting into field training. He retrieves Bumper Boy marks already at 150 yards, we just have not worked real hard on proper delivery in the field. If he can mark, I hope to have a competitive candidate with this guy. The DNA is there for sure.
I used a Dokken for these videos because the guts were falling out of my duck and I did not have any more thawed.
You can see that he drops the Dokken a couple times but immediately picks it right back up. I think his mouth is a little sore from teething now, but all positive comments and praise from me and he does his job. Return SIT is a little off position but he moves with me to correct it. All of these little things will resolve themselves over time with repetition.
Kevin so far is giving me a lot of reason to go the Hillman route on my next few dogs.

I am glad Advogato is kept alive. Finally spend some time adding new feature to GRhino. This time it's the ability to modify board before start game. Will have to look at Gnome library source code since the documentation only covers basic cases.
I am glad Advogato is kept alive. Finally spend some time adding new feature to GRhino. This time it's the ability to modify board before start game. Will have to look at Gnome library source code since the documentation only covers basic cases.
Finally, after a long period off, I just released GRhino 0.15.1. The motivation was from a feature request which takes only an hour implement. Start to get bored a bit at Wikipedia too, so there will be more programming stuff in upcoming weeks.
Delayed year end summary for 2005 :)
GCC patches committed:
Not great, as most of my free software work is shifted to wikipedia.
Wrote some more code in kcd. Learning to use Inkscape, hoping to create some SVG maps for Wikipedia.
I still get stuck in wikipedia :) no time to write any code. And there is a bug in kcd to be taken care of. Simple compilation problem (non-compliant code in kcd) caused by my another GCC friend changes. Shame on me.
A flaw was found on my GCC work. It fails to deal with default template argument and default function argument properly. So the project is shelved until a nice solution is found. Now my focus shift to kcd and work a bit on Wikipedia. A new major release of kcd is close.
The GCC work is near finished. No known issue are left. It just needs some clean up: getting rid of unnecessary changes, simplifying changes, adding comments. Too bad I am traveling tomorrow. Work must continue later this weekend.
Worked a bit on GCC to delay access checking of templates until instantiation time (Bug 16617 and a few others). A few days of business trip got in the way. Now I came back home. So expect more progress until the next trip which is about one week away.
My machine is finally back online after a major Linux upgrade. My winmodem turned out to be unsupported under Linux 2.6 kernel. So no email access for about one week until I bought an external modem just yesterday. No GCC hacking during that period (due to no CVS connection). However, I made some significant progress to GRhino. A simple version of GTP driver is finished so that I can now pit two different GRhino AI's and let them battle for, say, 100 games. This allows AI tinkering without guessing whether it would improve AI strength or not.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!

Having the game up there is stupid as wellNo different then sitting through a winter storm in New York. Its all about money and the city that bids the highest will be hosting.
Why build a new stadium? So we can fill half of a cutting edge stadium?
In Barry Jackson's column today an unnamed Dolphin official says the upgrades will make it like a new stadium and delay any need for a new stadium for 25-30 years.
That's the caliber of thought you're dealing with in this regime. It seeps to every decision. I've emphasized that on various sites for years. We've got a lifeless stadium in a terrible location yet they are determined to take the lazy cheap vision-free route time and again.
You might get one pity Super Bowl then you're dumped to the pile again, behind increasingly swanky venues. Thanks to the poster who listed the new venues and how quickly they are rewarded with Super Bowls. I was going to mention that, but minus the date specifics. If you've ever been to those stadiums there's no need to ask why. Truly spectacular.
I love Luria. The Marlins mean nothing to me. But if he plays any role in preventing worthless further patchwork to Sun Life Stadium, he becomes one of the great men in South Florida history, a visionary without realizing it or intending it. Admittedly, I'm particularly disgusted because 25-30 years takes it to the end of my lifespan, if I'm lucky. Most of the rest of you would see another stadium, unless there's ongoing idiocy to patch and patch again.
I experienced the rollicking Orange Bowl in my youth and early adulthood. To follow that with a generic dump for 50+ years would be like a parody, a cruel joke, seemingly worthy of suing someone.
I like many aspects of now, and no doubt going forward, but I appreciate my time frame more and more. My tastes certainly were more in touch to long gone decades -- run oriented physical football, simple classy uniforms, serve and volley tennis, pivot dominated basketball, bizarre '60s comedies, and stadiums with a soul.
As much as a new stadium would bring more excitement for this team, aside from winning games, it won't happen. The Marlins built a new stadium, and sucked, then basically traded everyone away. I can bet you the next 5 years or so, that stadium is going to sit there 70% empty during baseball season. That alone screwed over any chance the Dolphins have of getting a new stadium unless they pay for it themselves. You need to have some sort of winning franchise with a legit following, win or lose, before you build a new stadium. The Marlins had no following, they got a new stadium and still couldn't sell out a game, and now they will go right back to their horrible attendance figures. The Dolphins have an un-loyal fanbase at the moment, and building a new stadium with a bad team will bring about one year of excitement before people realize they are paying to watch a ****ty team, which people in Miami don't do. I personally hate the location of Sun Life Stadium, but other than that, a few upgrades would make it a great place to watch a game. Just get some shade on the seats, update the lighting, and get a winning team...and no one will care about the location of the stadium.
The Supoerbowl has much less economic impact on south Florida than let's day NY, Indianapolis or Detroit. Who wants to go up there in winter time? We already have tourism so besides some extra people going to the game we don't have much of an impact. For Ross, having the Superbowl here is an ego thing. The last time Ross wanted a roof the counties and cities shut him down already. Reason: economic impact does not justify the cost.
Ross wants to do ugrades: pay for them. I am sick and tired of billionaire owners always looking for hand outs. The average small business owner has to pay for their own expansion.

Water in Schools
According to a recent survey at least 40 percent of responding school districts reported to not have access to free drinking water for students. In response to this statistic and the need to promote healthy beverage options in schools, Governor Schwarzenegger sponsored legislation (SB 1413)(link to legislation) that was signed into law in 2010 that requires schools to make free, fresh drinking water available to students during meals.
California Food Policy Advocates with funding from the California Obesity Prevention Program of the California Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention created a web-based tool kit for educators, school districts and advocates to help comply with the new law.
Water Woes: Recommendations for Creating Healthier School Environments
This policy brief describes the school water situation in the North Coast region of California. The lack of appealing or free water sources on these campuses poses a barrier to students who want to drink more water and fewer sugar-sweetened beverages.

Updated on 10 September 2012
From L-R: Prof S Ramaswamy, CEO, C-CAMP; Prof Pankaj Chandra, director, IIMB; Dr Renu Swarup, advisor, DBT and MD, BIRAC, were among the many eminent individuals present at IIM Bangalore during the announcement that a MoU has been signed between C-CAMP and IIM-B
Bangalore: On September 1, 2012, IIM Bangalore and C-CAMP signed an MoU to set up of incubation centers at the C-CAMP and at NS Raghavan Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning at IIM Bangalore for the entrepreneurs in the life sciences field. According to the MoU, the incubators at both the IIM Bangalore campus and at C-CAMP campus will incubate companies.
The prospective incubatee can apply at either NSRCEL or at C-CAMP and will be eligible to use the facilities provided by the other counterpart. The role of incubation will be to take a company to a point from where it can raise capital from the market in about 18-24 month period.
The NSRCEL and C-CAMP together hosted a workshop on "Entrepreneurship opportunities in LifeSciences". The workshop was targeted at start-ups in life sciences as well as aspiring entrepreneur who plan to start up a life sciences business.
The initial talk at the session was given by Professor Kumar K, IIMB, who spoke on entrepreneurship as a way of life. He began the talk by mentioning that society keeps throwing at us some ways or the other where we have to act like entrepreneurs. "Gone are the days where entrepreneurship meant only land, labor and capital. Now knowledge has become the prime driver of entrepreneurship," he said.
He also highlighted that earlier large corporations and government used to hire people. Now since they have reached saturation, people use their creative energies and are now not dependent only on those two. They themselves have become entrepreneurs. According to Prof Kumar, "Entrepreneurship is creating new with limited resources. It is dealing with uncertainties by taking action under your control, and society today demands entrepreneurs."

The Street today continues to respond to chip maker Advanced Micro Devices's (AMD) unveiling yesterday of its roadmap this year and next for its server microprocessors, with an emphasis on low-power chips for so-called micro-servers that perform Web-based tasks, cloud computing, and other non-traditional server roles, including using new technology from ARM Holdings (ARMH).
Williams Financial Group's Cody Acree, who has a Buy rating on AMD stock, today raised his price target to $7 from $5, writing that he is "encouraged by AMD's progress and its improving server portfolio breadth."
Acree likes the company's approach to more custom parts, and its ability to "hedge" markets:
Data processing demands are only becoming more diverse, with unique needs that increasingly lend themselves to more specialized processing solutions. We believe AMD, if successful bringing its performance goals to market, should have a more complete suite of offerings with which to gain market share. We also see its multi-pronged approach as a good way for the company to hedge its bets regarding the technological direction of the server market. If ARM-based microservers are successful, AMD should be very competitive; and if x86 continues to dominate, AMD should benefit from its density, low-power, and fabric efforts.
He warns there is some risk of the company managing too many things at once:
The risk to this approach, which we believe is manageable, is the question of the company's bandwidth. Even given AMD's server history, multiple design tracks will be challenging and a test of the management talent pool AMD has been collecting.
Nevertheless, Acree thinks the company's "efforts to remold AMD," while "still in early days," are working.
On the other hand, BMO Capital Markets's Ambrish Srivastava, who has a Hold rating on AMD shares, and a $4 price target, notes that the company is up against the "X-Gene" processor line form Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC), whose shares he also rates a Hold:
In our view, APM has roughly a lead of a year in terms of having silicon and shipping it, as well as having been on the development path for several years now. APM also has integrated several mixed-signal functions into its solution, such as Ethernet controller, SATA controller, going from 10GbE, to having a 100GbE controller in its 28 nm part, which we expect to be taped out later this year. The company has also been able to achieve 2.4GHz speed with its current 40nm chip. AMD's ARM-based server effort has been more recent. [AMD] does have a lot of experience in the server market, although its market share has been virtually decimated by Intel (INTC) now to an estimated low- to mid-single digits [...] MiTAC international Corp, a Taiwan-based manufacturing company, announced a new range of 64-bit ARM v8 processor-based server system. This 7-Star server system is based on APM's X-Gene SoC. During the Red Hat summit on June 13, 2013, ARM and APM demonstrated two 64-bit ARMv8 X-C1 systems powered by an X-Gene server SoC running a full Fedora 19 Linux distribution with Apache web server, a WordPress blog portal, and a Gluster distributed file system hosting video content streaming to a client device.
AMD shares today are down a penny at $4.08.

text: Home- Admission & Financial Aid- Financial Aid- Current Students- Policies and Procedures Financial Aid Policies and Procedures: Current Students Colgate financial aid is awarded based on financial need; the university does not offer academic merit aid. Menu Menu The amount of a student's aid award is determined by federal eligibility (where applicable) and demonstrated financial need based on the information a family submits on the CSS PROFILE and/or other required or supporting documents. Along with factors such as family income and assets, the following affect a student's eligibility for Colgate Grant: the number of siblings enrolled in undergraduate study; the cost of a sibling's educational program, if significantly lower than Colgate's cost; and/or having siblings enrolled in military service academies or whose awards contain merit aid or athletic scholarship. Financial need is defined as the difference between the cost of attendance at Colgate University and the expected family contribution from income and assets. Students are automatically considered for all sources of financial aid for which Colgate believes they may be eligible, including federal, state, and institutional grants, loans, and employment. The composition of an aid award depends on several factors, including the extent of a student's financial need, eligibility for other aid resources, the availability of funds, and the date of application. Need-based financial aid awarded by Colgate is considered supplemental to the resources of the family, including the student, and aid received from other sources. Colgate University does not offer financial assistance based on students having voluntarily declared themselves independent of their parents, nor are we able to offer additional assistance if parents decide they no longer wish to support their child at Colgate. It is anticipated that a student who matriculated as a dependent student will remain dependent for financial aid purposes throughout his/her enrollment at Colgate. Colgate grant assistance is awarded for full-time study and is limited to a maximum of eight terms of enrollment for students who matriculate as first-year students, regardless of whether or not they were aid recipients in any given term. Courses transferred to complete Colgate degree requirements will reduce this eligibility. Domestic students applying only for federal student aid need not apply for Colgate aid as well. Both need-based and non-need-based federal aid may be requested and awarded separately from Colgate's need-based aid. Information for current students applying for aid. Student Contribution An expected student contribution is based on the student's previous year's earnings and assets. A minimum contribution from summer earnings is expected of all students. Parent Contribution An expected parent contribution is based on the parents' previous year's earnings and assets. Often the annual parent contribution is paid in two installments, with one-half paid prior to each semester; but our Financing Options page provides some other alternatives as well. Cost of Attendance The cost of attendance used to determine financial aid eligibility is based on students' fixed, on-campus expenses (tuition and activity fee); an allowance for room and meals; and allowances for those variable expenses incurred but not billed to the student account (books, supplies, domestic travel, and personal needs). The cost of attendance does not include health insurance, which is required for all Colgate students. If the student is not already covered by health insurance, the student will be billed for health insurance through Colgate; in either case, families need to cover that cost either out of pocket or with additional loan, when available. No provision can be made for expenses that are not directly related to college attendance. Adjustment of Awards Colgate reserves the right to modify the financial aid listed in an award upon receipt of information affecting eligibility for financial aid. This can include but is not limited to changes in government funding, in awards from other sources, or in the number of siblings in college, where changes were not known at the time of the initial aid decision. Disbursement of Financial Aid Unless otherwise noted, the amount(s) listed in the aid award are annual awards, with one half applied to the student account each semester. One notable exception is work study, which generally involves direct payment of wages to the student on a bi-weekly basis, so long as the student has completed an I-9 form at Colgate (authorizing work within the United States) and submitted valid electronic time sheets for supervisor approval. All financial aid funds from either Colgate or outside agencies are processed as received. Prompt application for loans and other outside awards insures availability of funds at the beginning of each semester. However, students should be prepared to provide personal funds to meet necessary initial expenses such as books and supplies. If for some reason a student is unable to work during the summer and thus does not have the funds needed to purchase books, a payroll advance against future work-study earnings can be arranged through the Office of Student Accounts; or, if the student has no work-study award, the student should contact the Office of Financial Aid to discuss alternatives. Refunds If the total resources applied to the student account exceed a student's charges, a refund may be due. Ordinarily, credit refunds will be issued automatically in each term in which they occur -- either by direct deposit or check -- shortly after the relevant aid funds have been credited to the student's account, usually about a week after the Drop/Add period ends. If later in the semester a credit appears on the account as the result of disbursement of federal funds, a refund will be made automatically, within two weeks of the disbursement. Post-Drop/Add credit resulting from non-federal funds will be applied toward a future semester unless the family requests that the funds be returned to the student or parent instead. In certain situations students may request an early refund of credit: Students participating in off-campus study programs should request refunds by sending an e-mail to the Office of Financial Aid at least three weeks prior to departure. Students who are fully aided (i.e., they are receiving outside awards or taking loans to cover their entire family contribution) should contact the Office of Financial Aid at least one week before classes begin, to request a partial refund to cover the cost of books (residual credit will be refunded automatically at a later date). Refunds required as a result of withdrawal or leave of absence will be made in accordance with the policy outlined in the Colgate University Catalogue. Reapplying for Financial Aid U.S. and Canadian students need to reapply for financial aid annually. (Non-Canadian international students: get information about financial aid beyond the first year.) If a student continues to demonstrate need and remains eligible for assistance based on various federal, state, and institutional criteria, financial aid will be provided. Information on reapplying for financial aid will be sent to an aided student's Colgate e-mail account in February. Students are required to complete the appropriate financial aid forms each year by April 1. Failure to submit a timely application for grant aid may change the composition of a student's financial aid award. Colgate Grant aid is not guaranteed for late applications. Study Groups Colgate Grant recipients can receive additional assistance for one Colgate-directed/approved off-campus study group and one Colgate-directed extended study program. Institutional grant aid is awarded to meet the extra costs after loans have been increased to the maximum eligibility level. However, if prior to receiving the study-group award letter a student chooses to increase a loan beyond the level noted in the initial award for the year, Colgate will continue to provide only the level of grant that would have been available had the additional loan not been taken; the student remains responsible for the portion of the extra study-group costs that would ordinarily have been awarded in the form of additional loan. Only federal aid is transferable for non-Colgate-directed/approved programs. Students participating in Colgate's off-campus study groups or extended study programs must be sure to complete all necessary applications prior to departure to ensure availability of funds. As noted under "Refunds," above, arrangements for refunds of anticipated credit balances should be made with the Office of Financial Aid at least three weeks prior to departure. Further information about off-campus study costs and financial aid can be found here. Appealing or Declining an Award Students who have concerns about their awards should contact the Office of Financial Aid as soon as possible after receiving notification of the award. A Request for Review form will be sent upon request; the form must be completed and returned before a review can be conducted. A student who wishes to decline any part of an award should do so in writing to the Office of Financial Aid. Confidentiality All financial records are protected in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended. Financial Aid Awards Colgate Grant This is an institutional, need-based grant, available to students without regard to citizenship. Athletic Scholarship This is an institutional, athletic award offered without regard to citizenship to selected student-athletes in certain sports. The award may be used to help cover on-campus expenses. Recipients and scholarship amounts are determined by the relevant Colgate coach. Yellow Ribbon Benefit This is both an institutional and federal award offered only to certain eligible veterans and their dependents on a first-come, first-served basis. The award may be used to help cover on-campus expenses. Recipients and award amounts are determined by Colgate and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Federal Pell Grant This is a federally funded grant, available only to U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens. Typically, if Pell awards end up being less than originally estimated, the Colgate Grant will be increased; and if awards end up being greater than originally estimated, the Colgate Grant will be decreased. However, if the government eliminates or significantly reduces overall funding for this program, Colgate may not be able to make up the difference. New York State Tuition Assistant Program (TAP) This is a state-funded grant awarded only to eligible New York State residents. By filing the FAFSA, New York State residents will be linked to the TAP application. Typically, if TAP awards end up being less than originally estimated, the Colgate Grant will be increased; and if awards end up being greater than originally estimated, the Colgate Grant will be decreased. However, if the government eliminates or significantly reduces overall funding for this program, Colgate may not be able to make up the difference. Federal Perkins Loan This federal loan program has been discontinued for the foreseeable future. Federal Direct Loan This is a federal loan, available only to U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens. If a Direct Loan is included as part of a financial aid award, the certified loan amount will be indicated. First-time borrowers will receive application instructions in the summer (or later, if the student should become a first-time borrower after the academic year begins). Students who have borrowed through this program in a prior year do not need to reapply. Loan proceeds are disbursed electronically to the student account. Federal Direct Loan amounts will increase each year, depending on institutional packaging policies and federal guidelines. The 2016-17 interest rate for subsidized Direct Loans is fixed at 3.76%, the government pays the interest that accrues during enrollment, and repayment begins six months after the student is no longer enrolled at least half time. There is an origination fee of roughly 1%. In the unsubsidized portion of the program, the same conditions apply as stated in the previous paragraph except that the federal government does not pay the interest for the student during school attendance; the student is responsible for paying the interest. Current-year interest rates on federal student loans. Depending on federal eligibility, students may borrow up to $3,500 in subsidized Direct Loan for the first year of college, up to $4,500 for the second year, and up to $5,500 for the third and fourth years. In many cases an additional $2,000 in unsubsidized loan is available each year as well. Colgate will always award as much subsidized loan as possible before awarding any unsubsidized loan; however, in some cases the student is eligible for unsubsidized loan only. U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens not initially awarded a Federal Direct Loan may contact the Office of Financial Aid to learn how to apply. Work Study Work-study awards are available to students without regard to citizenship. Certain U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens will have their work-study funds paid from federal sources; all other students will be paid from institutional sources only. If a student's aid award contains a work-study job, further information about work-study, including details about how to apply for jobs, will be sent to the student's Colgate e-mail account in mid- to late August. Work-study awards increase each year, to reflect automatic increases in student wages in second and subsequent years. Earning the award amount cannot be guaranteed, as it is dependent on variables (e.g., students' skills and academic schedules) over which Colgate has no control. To maximize the chances of securing the number of work hours needed to earn the amount listed in the award letter, work-study students should apply for jobs within the first two weeks of classes, as they receive first preference for jobs primarily during that time. As remuneration for jobs is earned on an hourly basis and paid bi-weekly, the sum indicated in the award letter cannot be deducted from the student's university term bill. Students who have a work-study award greater than the amount of their allowance for books, travel, and personal expenses may need to contribute the difference toward their billed expenses. The Department of Homeland Security requires that all employees complete an I-9 form. If a student has not previously been paid for working at Colgate, the form needs to be completed before a student can be set up for on-campus employment. Further details about the I-9 requirement will be sent to enrolled students during the summer. More information about employment can be found here or by contacting the Office of Financial Aid. While work-study-eligible students will have priority in hiring, limited job opportunities may also exist for those not awarded a work-study job. Outside Awards Outside awards are those a student receives through a competitive or merit-based selection process. While the combination of outside award(s) and financial aid from Colgate cannot exceed our annual cost of attendance, Colgate allows a student to receive the maximum possible benefit from an outside award by reducing first the portions of the aid award for which the student and family are responsible. Thus, any outside award(s) will first be used to offset family contribution, job, and/or loan (not necessarily in that order). Only after those sources of funding have been offset entirely will the outside award reduce a student's Colgate Grant. Entitlement awards from state or federal sources -- including veteran's benefits -- as well as tuition subsidies based on a parent's employment are not covered by this policy and reduce Colgate Grant dollar for dollar. Colgate Grant assistance will not be increased to compensate for outside awards for which a student does not properly apply. Any outside scholarship(s), even those paid directly to the student, should be sent or brought to the Office of Financial Aid for processing, to ensure compliance with federal regulations.

Mix sugar, water and cornstarch in a medium sauce pan. Add strawberries and bring this mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.Set aside to cool. Microwave white chocolates with 1/4 cup heavy cream for about 25 seconds, melt it completely and cool it. Stir this into strawberry mixture. Beat remaining heavy cream with vanilla until soft peak form, and fold in with strawberry mixture. Layer the dessert cup with strawberry glaze(its optional), spoon mousse on top and serve chilled with fresh strawberries.

I really want to make my own Jabba's Palace. I intend to make it fit the ROTJ vintage jabba w/ Dias. I have a ton of palace figures and the toys (Rancor etc) are so cool I really want to have a neat place to display them. The cardboard thing kinda bites. Want to have 2 levels- throne room above with pit below. Maybe a droid room somewhere... I've tried to use the movie to determine a basic layout with some success. I think will end up being 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep.
My question is this- does anyone know where to find a floorplan of the palace- or at leat the throne room? I know it is probably in a book or perhaps an ERTL model exists soemwhere to help me out. Any ideas?

Michigan's Seven Best Paddling Trips
Guest blogger Jennifer Hamilton of the Awesome Mitten shares seven of the best destinations for paddling in Michigan. Read from her below and find more places to visit on michigan.org.
Summer may be rapidly coming to a close, but there is still plenty of time for a kayak trip in one of Michigan's famous bodies of water. Whether you are seeking lakes or rivers, I have had the pleasure of polling fellow Awesome Mitten writers and compiling a list of Michigan's favorite waterways.
1) Onekama to Arcadia via Lake Michigan – This is probably one of the most peaceful waterway treks in our Great Lakes State. Travelers have the opportunity to view Arcadia Bluffs from the water as they paddle by and scope out potential golfing opportunities. Since this area is part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, there are great dune adventures to have at almost every point along the way if you want to stop and picnic.
2) The Backwaters at Tippy Dam – The Backwaters at Tippy Dam are for the adventurous hoping to catch a glimpse of wildlife. Great fishing is available here if you are seeking walleye or small-mouthed bass. Experienced fishermen say that the panfish are abundant as well. Due to the wooded surroundings, there is a good chance that visitors will spot at least one eagle during their adventure. The peacefulness of these Backwaters is great for an escape from civilization and to truly get a Northern Michigan experience.
3) Canals of Detroit – While Detroit may not be the first place you think of to enjoy a water-filled experience; one particular Awesome Mitten-er offers a unique perspective on its waterways. Ms. Joanna Dueweke swears by touring Detroit's canals via kayak or stand-up paddleboard. It's a great way to enjoy the historical buildings and homes from a completely different point of view than the general public. Some of the best and most convenient places to launch are at Alter Road, St. Jean, or Belle Isle.
4) Turnip Rock Port Austin – If you have not had the pleasure of experiencing Turnip Rock via Lake Huron, I insist that you head there immediately. This enormous rock received its turnip connotation from thousands of years of erosion from storm waves. Now, it is an island with a few trees and little other vegetation. The land nearby is all privately owned, so the only way to view it is by waterway or trekking across a frozen Lake Huron in the winter. It is quite the comedic, awe-inspiring landmark, located at the tip of Michigan's thumb.
5) The Platte River – The Platte River is a personal favorite and though it may not be a secret, it is worth a mention to remind you to traverse its calm, strangely warm waters. The Platte is a great place to take families as it is easy to navigate and always warm enough to tube if kayaks are not readily available. As part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, it is no surprise that the Platte River is absolutely stunning. Its ending pours out into Lake Michigan with a mini peninsula jutting out between the two, dividing the playful river and the wild waves.
6) Huron River near Ann Arbor – This is the only state-designated Country Scenic Natural River in Southeast Michigan. It is a huge river that covers five counties, with each portion being strikingly worthwhile. During various portions of the river, floaters can expect to come across an abundance of dams; there are 96 total, to be exact. Many of these dams were built for mill or hydroelectric power, making them fairly large. Due to the size of these dams, many new lakes have formed along the Huron River, making for exciting sites to see almost every portion of the way.
7) Two Hearted River, Eastern Upper Peninsula – Any river that has a beer named after it clearly needs to be traversed. It is a fairly short river that empties into Lake Superior, and it does a great job of capturing the Upper Peninsula's natural beauty. At the mouth of the river, travelers can see a Michigan Historic Marker; formally known as the Two-Hearted Life Saving Station, which then became part of the United States Coast Guard in 1915. The Two-Hearted River is exceptionally famous for a great place to leisurely fish, probably while enjoying a nice Two-Hearted Ale from Bell's Brewery.

This bull**** again.
Seriously, think about it for a second. Journalism is a business, like any other business. If you buy the capitalistic notion that supply arises to meet demand, a liberal media would only mean that there is more demand for liberal viewpoints than conservative ones. Do you believe that's true?
Put it this way. You can either believe the media is liberal... or in capitalism. Your choice.

An alternative approach to climate regulation.
Ron Binz is chairman of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission and vice chair of the NARUC task force on climate policy. He served as Colorado's state utility consumer advocate from 1984 to 1995. Email him at email@example.com.
An alternative approach to climate regulation.
The central conundrum in the politics of federal climate legislation is that relatively low, constrained carbon prices might not produce sufficient incentives for firms to innovate and reduce emissions in the long run. But relatively high carbon prices can be politically unacceptable and invite consumer backlash. Where's the right balance?
In this article, I outline a "cap-and-innovate" approach to carbon regulation within the electric sector that attempts to resolve this conundrum. This approach caps carbon emissions, while greatly increasing funding for research and development (R&D) in low-carbon generation technologies. If we stimulate innovation and avoid rate shock by allocating emission allowances to consumers through their regulated electric utilities, we'll effectively reduce carbon emissions using a regime that's acceptable to consumers.
I write from the perspective of a state utility regulator in Colorado, where we're making huge strides on carbon reductions, pursuing a 30-percent renewable portfolio standard, robust energy efficiency programs, enlightened resource planning, smart-grid technology and smart pricing. Under Governor Bill Ritter's leadership we're moving away from a mostly coal-based electric economy to a new energy economy without much (to this point) leadership from the federal government.
Despite our considerable progress, Colorado and other states need federal climate legislation capping carbon emissions. Regulators routinely make 40-year, billion dollar decisions about power plants, transmission lines, fuel sources and customer rates. We can't postpone these decisions; federal leadership is needed now so we can make and justify these decisions with full information.
Effective Incentives
The five components of the proposed cap-and-innovate approach can reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in a sensible and cost-effective way.
• Sector-by-Sector Approach : An idea that seems to be gaining support in Washington would create a carbon regulatory regime that's specific to the electric sector, an approach I have supported for a couple of years. Carbon emissions in other sectors would be regulated in various other ways, e.g., through taxes or performance standards.
While a single economy-wide carbon market might arguably be the most efficient, there are clear advantages to the sector-by-sector approach. It's easier to address the distributional equities that are special to each sector; it's easier to harmonize new regulations with existing regulations and with market structures specific to each sector; and finally, the electric sector can move forward without additional delay because we already know how to reduce emissions using a cap-and-trade mechanism: Witness the success of the Acid Rain program. A sector-by-sector approach, however, does require that we carefully address the boundaries between the sectors, especially as we consider the migration of the small vehicle fleet from liquid fuels to electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
• Allowances to Consumers through LDCs : In the Acid Rain program, allowances to emit SO 2 were allocated to utilities at no cost, traded among those recipients and then retired for compliance. As

South African babe Roxy Louw is really, really shy. But when you look at these modeling pictures, you wouldn't think that this surfer-turned-model is shy. And why would she be shy with a body like that? Apparently, she's overcome her innate shyness and decided to pursue her dream of becoming a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated. A toned body and a great tan from surfing are really enough reasons to become a bikini model and Rock-sea did just that.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi State has hit the wall, but it's going to keep climbing.
The Bulldogs (7-16, 2-9 SEC) travel to LSU today in search of their first win since Jan. 12. They've lost nine in a row since then, most recently a 78-36 setback to Missouri – the worst MSU loss in Humphrey Coliseum history.
With junior Jalen Steele suspended the last two games for a violation of team rules, MSU has been down to six available scholarship players, all but one of them newcomers. Colin Borchert, a junior college transfer, admitted that the Bulldogs have hit a wall.
But first-year coach Rick Ray had a message for the team.
"He said now it's time to grow up and fight through it," Borchert said. "We've lost a lot of games so far. We've got to keep on playing, we've got to keep on practicing, we've got to keep on working.
"The season ain't over yet. Anything could happen."
As far as postseason hopes go, there are none for State, barring a very unlikely run to an SEC Tournament championship. There are seven regular season games to play until then, and so this battered, exhausted team must find a way to make something – anything – good happen.
Borchert said the big challenge for MSU now is a mental one. Ray said he expects to see some pride from this team after the Missouri debacle, in which MSU shot a season-low 23.9 percent from the field.
"You would hope that guys would have some pride in themselves and Mississippi State basketball, want to go out and try to rectify that," Ray said. "If that's not enough, then we've got problems."
LSU (14-8, 5-6) won in Starkville two weeks ago, 69-68, when Anthony Hickey made a shot with 1.5 seconds remaining. That heartbreak is still fresh on the mind of Borchert.
"They came to our house and stole one from us. We've got to go to their house and steal one from them," he said.
The Tigers are coming off a 64-46 win over South Carolina on Thursday, and they've won four of their last five.
MSU is 1-7 in road games this season. Getting back in the win column and finishing the season strong could give the Bulldogs a big psychological boost.
"All it's going to do is just give us confidence, I think, just to move on to next year and say, you know, we are good enough to play with these guys," Borchert said. "We are SEC talent, and we're not going to give up."

The spicy aroma of home-baked cookies makes it almost impossible to not eat them warm from the oven. So, if you end up with extra frosting you'll know why.
If pumpkin pie spice isn't handy, use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger instead.
You can add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Sprinkle the tops of the frosted cookies with pumpkin pie spice or ground nutmeg for an extra flavor boost and a special look.
In place of the butter, you can use 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
