The Indiana Court of Appeals will start hearing arguments in the state's legal fight with IBM Corporation over a failed attempt to overhaul Indiana's welfare system in November.
IBM was hired by the state to process applications for food stamps, Medicaid and other programs.
The Hoosier state said that IBM was in breach of contract and failed to live up to terms of the contract.
The state is appealing an award of $52 million to IBM after then-Gov. Mitch Daniels canceled the 10-year, $1.37 billion contract.

Theatre in the Age of Film and Television
An examination of how some of the major trends in theatre since the 19th century have been affected or represented by mass media including film, television, radio and other electronic media. The course will study examples of influential dramatic work on film as well as other dramaturgical responses to social, cultural, and political issues presented through the mass media.
We use stories to make sense of our world, and the theatre has long been one of the main ways in which we've shared those stories with each other. Since the arrival of film and other televisual media, however, the theatre has experienced something of an identity crisis. Forced from its traditional position as the dominant mode of performance-based storytelling, theatre has had to re-examine not only how it tells stories, but also how it can tell stories.
DRAM205 is an investigation of theatre storytelling conducted in the context of the arrival of these new media technologies. We will discuss theatre relation to filmed media as a means of identifying some of the conventions and communicative languages that are unique to theatre and theatrical storytelling. Put another way, we will explore what it is that makes theatre theatrical, and we will look at how some theatrical modes of expression have been used in televisual media to enhance the storytelling experience.
The course is structured in 3 units. The units are assembled according to the overall journey of the course. We will begin by establishing a baseline discussion about realism and its alternatives as strategies for dramatic storytelling. Then we will explore the concept of theatricality. Finally, we will look at how theatricality and departures from realism are being used in some contemporary theatrical works to tell us stories about each other and ourselves.
Please see the course's WordPress site for more details about the course: http://dram205cds.wordpress.com

The Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM) is a suite of software tools that quantitatively analyze and evaluate safety and operational effects of geometric design decisions on two-lane rural highways. FHWA expanded the IHSDM Crash Prediction Module
(CPM) in 2010 to implement The Highway Safety Manual's Part C (Predictive Method), which highlights predictive methods for estimating the expected average crash frequency of a network, facility, or individual site. The IHSDM contains six evaluation modules:
Crash Prediction, Policy Review, Design Consistency, Intersection Review, Traffic Analysis, and Driver/Vehicle.
The IHSDM course is a highly-interactive training that gives participants the opportunity to use the actual IHSDM software tools to evaluate and analyze real highway designs. NHI recently updated the delivery format and training materials for the course.
The training materials were updated to reflect the expanded CPM. The new delivery format consists of 4 hours of self-paced, Web-based trainings and four 2-hour sessions of virtual, instructor-led trainings, known as Web-conference training.

What is the estimated delivery time?
Sellers generally procure and ship the items within the time specified on the product page. Business days exclude public holidays and Sundays.
Estimated delivery time depends on the following factors:
Why does the delivery date not correspond to the delivery timeline of X-Y business days?
Why does the delivery date not correspond to the delivery timeline of X-Y business days?
It is possible that the Seller or our courier partners observe a holiday between the day you placed your order and the date of delivery, which is based on the timelines shown on the product page. In this case, we add a day to the estimated date. Some courier partners and Sellers do not work on Sundays and this is factored in to the delivery dates.
What do the different tags like "In Stock", "Available" mean?
What do the different tags like "In Stock", "Available" mean?
'In Stock'
For items listed as "In Stock", Sellers will mention the delivery time based on your location pincode (usually 2-3 business days, 4-5 business days or 4-6 business days in areas where standard courier service is available). For other areas, orders will be sent by Registered Post through the Indian Postal Service which may take 1-2 weeks depending on the location.
The Seller might not have the item in stock but can procure it when an order is placed. The delivery time will depend on the estimated procurement time and the estimated shipping time to your location.
'Preorder' or 'Forthcoming'
Such items are expected to be released soon and can be pre-booked for you. The item will be shipped to you on the day of it's official release launch and will reach you in 2 to 6 business days. The Preorder duration varies from item to item. Once known, release time and date is mentioned. (Eg. 5th May, August 3rd week)
'Out of Stock'
Currently, the item is not available for sale. Use the 'Notify Me' feature to know once it is available for purchase.
Sometimes, items have to be sourced by Sellers from outside India. These items are mentioned as 'Imported' on the product page and can take at least 10 days or more to be delivered to you.
'Back In Stock Soon'
The item is popular and is sold out. You can however 'book' an order for the product and it will be shipped according to the timelines mentioned by the Seller.
'Temporarily Unavailable'

Undoubtedly one of the best smartphones. But the pricing is 32.4K, come on flipkart, give us some offers.I expected some kind of deal like extra accessories or cash back. All i see is the market price.
Coming to the phone, the phone is a beast in terms of processing speed, but the 700 MB RAM, makes me to think, however it gives a 1 Gig of ROM. When compared to SGS II , the front camera is 0.3 MP where SGS II is having 2 MP.
On the positive side, the graphics are very brilliant, smooth. HTC Sense is too good.Above all Beats integrated music with pair of Dr. Dre headsets.
Just ordered, Can't wait to have it. The phone seems to have so much in it.
I went to the shop twice to buy a Samsung S2 but for some reason ,i backed out, only to find out about this genius piece.
Few reaons why i chose XE over S2.
1. Its not that expensive when compared to S2, and you get 1.5ghz dual core for a couple fo thousands extra.
2. You get iBeats. This is somehting which attracted me to buy this phone. If i want to buy this headset alone, it would cost me over 5k.
3. So for a little over 3k(compared to S2) , i get a 1.5 dual core iBeats integrated Beats Audio dual LED fl... (Expand)
fatsest and powerful proccesor- 1.5ghz dual core processor, it's equivalent to intel atom processor which is used in netbooks.so it's give amazing speed to the device.
good ram- 768mb ram good enough for business and persional need.
graphics- latest aderno 210 processor, it's easily capable for full web browsing and full flash support, you can play any game without any lag or distortion.
camera- 8mp full hd camera good enough for your daily need.
screen- 4.3inch so you feel tablet like performance.
battery- 1730mah is very good but the device has very powerfull processor so it's consu... (Expand)
HTC Sensation XE has everything you want from a smart phone. It has a powerful processor and good enough RAM to process your requests.
Lets face it, company is targeting the phones for pure audio-philes, and the phone stands up for it, its sound quality is better than that of i-phone, and the free i-beats with HTC Sensation XE provide bass and sound quality which will make you hate all other headsets you have ever used. Well you get i-beats alone in market for 6000 bucks, so you can expect that much from them.

Didnot get it from FLipkart ... But I have a Sensation Z710E as This one was not out... Have been Using it for over 7 months since it has come out andriod 2.3.4 Has it figured out.
Rule No 1: If you are a Fanboy ( Apple fan ) Keep keep it out of under rating a Very good phone.
The phone is just amazing. I have a Iphone 4s and i still prefer my Sensation. SGS 2 is a good phone but for I DONT LIKE IT ( personal opinion)
Try to do the benchmark Iphone will come out front a simple reason it has apps and a browser that is using the dual core functionality.

Having used HTC Desire HD I became HTC fan then bought HTC Sensation XE and experience was fantastic but that experience started becoming bad since HTC released OTA upgrade to ICS 4.0.3. The phone started to hang probably because of low RAM.

A bipartisan group of senators is announcing a deal that lets students dodge higher interest rates when they go back to campus this fall. The group on Thursday told reporters they have reached a compromise that lowers the rates for all students who borrow from the federal government. The rates would be linked to financial markets, meaning interest rates would climb in coming years.
Through the 2015 academic year, undergrads will borrow at 3.85%. After that, though rates would increase significantly. Undergraduate rates will go up an additional 2.05% with an 8.25% cap.
Graduate students will pay an additional 3.6% maxing out at 9.5%.
And parents borrowing for their students will pay an additional 4.6% but no more than 10.5% total.
Sources say President Obama has signed off on the compromise.
"We'll wait to see what's produced before we judge it. But obviously the president is very concerned about this issue," says White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Democrats insisted on and won a cap on how rates could climb.
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois says the bill does not give any negotiator everything he sought. But it provides relief for students who were facing interest rates that doubled to 6.8 percent on new loans. The House has already passed similar legislation and the differences could be resolved before students return to campus. (AP)

I find myself reminiscing moments in a Bollywood movie by listening to its soundtrack, while in the shower, driving or just chilling. Each song/music has a very close connection to a moment in the movie. I realize how powerful this connection is, depending on how closely you connected to the moments in the movie obviously. This is something beyond just watching a movie, it has power to contribute to an energy within you.
I recently re-watched Zindagi Na Milengi Dobara, meaning "You won't get your life back". The basic premise of "live life", big fan of Farhan Akthar. The poetry by Javed Akthar is master class. The combination of the poetry, the sound/music, the moment in the movie, magical!
Here's one of the poems, translated in Hindi and English, and a youtube link to the poems with movie scenes..
"Dilon me tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Nazar me khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Hwa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehno sekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sekho
Hr ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
Hr ek pal ek nya sama dekhe nigahein
Jo apni ankhon mein hairanian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni betabian leke chal rahe ho,to zinda ho tum
English Translation
If you have eagerness in your heart, it means you are alive,
If your eyes are filled with dreams, it means you are alive
Learn to be free like the wind, (copyright Indicine.com)
Learn to flow freely like the river,
Embrace every moment with open arms,
See a new horizon every time with your eyes,
If you carry surprise in your eyes, it means you are alive,
If you have eagerness in your heart, it means you are alive…"

Learning how to code online is a brilliant concept. You can track your progress while earning badges (love gamification!)
I test-drove codeacademy.com's courses and it's a terrific start.
Here's another website, http://teamtreehouse.com/
The US Govt. has also teamed up with codeacademy to create more jobs http://venturebeat.com/2012/01/17/codeacademy-chopra/
IDEA What if there's a app where you can earn a badge for every little skill you pick up in life from coding, accounting, cooking, sports etc. ?
I've experienced another client ask about adding Flash intros and music to their website. As a business owner i can see how you want control over your brand experience but you should know where to draw the line.
Flash can be cool but it has to be used appropriately whether it be web design or business apps. With the advent of html5, css3 and JavaScript frameworks flash has lost its power.
I was encouraged to make my case against flash and I found a few resources below. Here's my favorite example.
When we have clients who are thinking about Flash splash pages, we tell them to go to their local supermarket and bring a mime with them. Have the mime stand in front of the supermarket, and, as each customer tries to enter, do a little show that lasts two minutes, welcoming them to the supermarket and trying to explain the bread is on aisle six and milk is on sale today. from http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-convince-a-client-they-dont-need-a-splash-page
Here are a few links that make both business and user-experience cases
Muftmasti.com was my first entrepreneurial adventure with a couple of friends. Although it failed, I gained quite a bit of experience and knowledge along the way.
It lasted for about a year, Jan 2011 to Dec 2011. I wore the CTO, Sales, Accounting, Developer, Graphics designer among other hats. I learnt quite a bit about team-dynamics, sales, developing an e-commerce website (.net MVC, SQL Server, Authorize.net, Amazon SES).
Starting a blog! first and foremost, will begin by adding a few things i just started doing this year including building cloud apps using Windows Azure; looks really promising.

Do we have free will?
Would it really be a good thing? If we hace a choise then dousnt that mean we can choose to do bad things?

Mar 22 2013: A car backfires and you jump in panic. Did you choose to jump, or did your brain process the sound and cause your body to react?
If we accept you chose to jump, then I guess you'd believe we have free will.
However, if you accept that our brains reacted before our conscious mind had time to process the noise and make a decision, then you can see how in some cases free will doesn't really exist. From there we can move on to ask whether, based on our brain biology as well as all our other life experiences which are stored as memory and used to make decisions, we truly have free will or whether we mostly have the perception of free will. Perhaps in fact, decisions are made at a much deeper level than our own consciousness, and we reflect on these decisions with the conscious mind as if we chose to do A or B.
Of course, this presupposes the mind is inextricably tied to the brain, which is a physical organ, and eschews the concept of a separate, unique, sentient soul.

Run. Run. Hoist over an obstacle. Run. Down on the ground. Run. Fall. Run.
The race is going to go a little something like this, so this week my training mimicked the quick switch from running to obstacles, by inserting the arch trainer between every circuit. It was cardio, strength, cardio, strength, and so on.
I do prefer the arch trainer (similar to an elliptical) to running on pavement, much less sand running. It's way less impact which is good for my knees and hips as they continue to overcome their issues. My IT band has still been acting up, but I've found that if I run pretty slow I can push out some extra mileage, although at this point I'm still pretty nervous about how my joints will respond to a grueling twelve plus miles.
The good and bad thing about the arch trainer is that you can turn up the resistance and incline to get the feeling of hills and sand dunes. By this I mean it's good for training but bad for me, since Lisa is in constant control of the dials.
I would hop on the trainer for two to four minutes between circuits- I know what you're thinking, "wow that sounds like nothing, suck it up!" but I'm telling you, after your muscles have been expended and exhausted it's hard to recover quickly and jump into a climb. Try it!
So I did this maybe eight or so times, each circuit involving different muscles and challenges. For some exercised I used the machines, like the leg pull you'll see in the slideshow, and for some I used body weight, like for push ups and planks, and plank-push ups. I bet you'd like to know what those are. First and foremost, they are near impossible.
I held a 30 second straight-arm plank on an upside down half ball (refer to photo) so it was unstable to begin with. Then I had to do five pushups still with my hands on the half-ball, so it was kind of a tricep push up since I couldn't spread my hands very far. Ouch. No resting allowed, though, because then I had to hold another 30 second plank, followed by five more pushups, then repeat again. I kind of majorly failed at this one, but I kept trying until the end, which I think is the important part!
As always, check out the slideshow to see what else Lisa had me do this week, and always feel free to email me at email@example.com.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
jeremy is one year younger than bonnie. two tops. and like someone already pointed out, he's more mature than half of the centuries old vampires. i'll never understand why people act like a two year age difference suddenly equates bonnie robbing the literal cradle when it's not. or even worse, like jeremy is some immature crayon scribbling booger eating little kid who doesn't know anything. it's like forced down our throats that elena is someone who's incredibly young but forced to mature due to circumstances. so that can't be true for jeremy too? is he off in a corner while elena experiences all this alone?
also don't understand when people claim it's rushed. i'll admit seeing that scene between them at the masquerade ball seemed kind of random, but in reality it's not uncommon for siblings regardless of older or younger to crush on the friend of their other sibling. i know i had plenty on my older brother's friends. and it's not like they were complete strangers before they got together.
i didn't particularly like jeremy and anna together at all, so i'm not really defending what jeremy did there. i hate it because he did betray a character i happen to love but also because i have never been here for jeremy and ann. but i also don't believe that he didn't love bonnie at all because season two pretty much proved that he did through his actions.
this show is so gross usually with relationship dysfunction. compared to bullshit certain characters have to overcome in order to be in these relationships, i'd much rather be cheated on. just saying.
As much as i'm not a huge Jeremy fan the only time in the first three seasons that i could stand him was when he was with Bonnie. Never really felt him and Anna either. And you're so right about the mature thing. I kinda do hate when people don't give Jer his props for delevopment. He is actually one of the VERY FEW characterrs on the show that i can see changes in from seaosn 1 and actual development. He's lost just as much as Elena..fuck that, he's lost even more counting the 2 dead girlfriends so he is very mature for his age. Still think he's annoying as fuck...well he's gotten much better recently, but gotta give the man his props.
Okay I will not defend Jeremy for cheating but how the fuck is he "a child", a child would not even pick up on the shit going on in that town on his own. And children are not vampire hunters, the boy was shooting bitches before he got that mark. Alaric bless you for teaching him well, gazentike Alaric
For that matter i have no idea why everyone around him keeps treating him like a kid either. Thats why i was so pissed when Elena compelled his ass to go to Denver. The first time i can understand but not the second. Like really bitch! She had no right. Jer is as much apart of this as anyone else.

Metro Boston to compete in 'Pour the Perfect Pint' to benefit local firefighters
On Thursday, this Metro Boston reporter will join Guinness in saluting local firefighters by kicking glass in the "Pour the Perfect Pint" competition.
Boston Firefighters and local media will be judged on their ability to pour a perfect pint of Guinness – a notoriously tricky task, but a coveted skill in a city that takes beer as seriously as St. Paddy's Day.
The winner – a.k.a., @MetroMorgan - will have $2,000 donated in their name to a local firehouse of their choice. The money will help supply equipment, technology and training for firefighters. The Thursday night contest kicks off a month-long partnership between Guinness and the Leary Firefighters Foundation to honor, recognize and support local fire fighters who continually put their lives on the line for others.
The pour-off will kick off at 6 p.m. at Dillon's on Boylston Street. Guests will get complimentary pints of Guinness until 8 p.m.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com with tips on how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness.

Understanding Membased availability / unplanned node failure behavior
I scoured the forums and read the the wiki page here (http://www.couchbase.org/wiki/display/membase/Failover+with+Membase) so I apologize for bringing this up again, I just want to make sure I fully understand the expected behavior of Membased during unplanned/unexpected node failures.
Assume I am using Membase buckets with 2 replicas in a 3 node cluster.
I performed a fairly simple test generating random key/value pairs and writing them cluster:
#!/bin/env ruby require "rubygems" require "memcached" require "active_support/secure_random" require "time" require "pp" iterations = ARGV[0].to_i m = Memcached.new(["host1:11211", "host2:11211", "host3:11211"]) 1.upto(iterations).each do |i| key = value = ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.hex(8) m.set key, value end
I insert 200,000 objects.
While this is running, I forcibly shutdown one of the nodes in the cluster (just /etc/init.d/membase-server stop).
Moments after that one node goes down, the job that is setting objects fails with this error:
"proxy write to downstream". Key {"13055"=>"host1:11211:8"}. (Memcached::ServerError)
Based on everything I read, it actually sounds like this is the expected (by design) behavior. There is no automated failover, despite the fact that the cluster is aware it has lost a member. As soon as I "failover" that downed node in the GUI, the inserts work again; that too jibes with what I read.
We believe membase has many of the features we need for our use-case, but if the unexpected loss of a single node results in any downtime for the cluster, I think we cannot proceed with our testing.
Is my test valid? If so, how can I make unexpected node failures more transparent? In our case, the data served by our cluster(s) must be available without interruption.
Thanks for your help!
- Matt
Hey Matt, all you've described is correct and by design. With 1.7.1 we are introducing an automatic failover feature so I think that should alleviate most of your concerns.
Keep an eye out for that release in the next few days, let me know if you have any other questions.

We are excited to announce, that throughout the month of October, Falcon will makes a $5 donation to the American Cancer Society to fund breast cancer research to help find a cure for every new pest or lawn service purchased. More details to follow soon!
Falcon Lawn & Pest Blog
BBC News recently published an in-depth feature article on the psychological reasons humans feel fright when they see a cockroach. The following is a quote from the story that is particularily illuminating:
Roaches invade our homes and make those intimate spaces their own. As physical embodiments of filth and germs, they show that for all of our fortifications against dirt and disease, those efforts are ultimately futile. "They've really figured out how to exploit the opportunities we create, and in doing so, developed behaviours and life histories that prevent us from controlling them," says Jeff Lockwood, a professor of natural sciences and humanities at the University of Wyoming. "In a sense, we loathe that which we foster." Our very existence enables them to thrive."
The excellent piece goes on to detail examples of famous authors and myths involving the cockroach. The authors of the story go on to detail that is actually an "evolutionary aversion" to the filthiness, greasiness, and disease-carrying ways of the cockroach. Please do yourself and read the excellent story prepared by the BCC.
Some people are tastier than others; to mosquitoes that is! There are many factors that determine how yummy you are to mosquitoes like your blood type, metabolic rate, genetic makeup and bodily chemicals. Not only can this make you more likely to develop those itchy red spots we all just love, but it also makes you more vulnerable to illnesses that develop from mosquito-borne viruses like chikungunya, Dengue fever and West Nile virus.
Protect yourself by wearing light colored clothing, long sleeves and pants, applying insect repellant containing DEET to exposed skin and clearing any stagnant water from your yard or home where mosquitoes can breed. If you have mosquitoes in or around your home call your Falcon representative today.
Raise your hand if you love cockroaches!
Okay, nobody likes cockroaches. They creep around your garage, behind cereal boxes, across your kitchen counter, next to your toothbrush and up your wall. They're disgusting and we hate them. But did you know they can physically make you sick? It is widely known that these pests carry diseases but you may not know that many people are allergic to cockroaches.
Research shows that cockroaches carry allergens that can cause skin rash, itchy eyes, stuffy noses, wheezing, and asthma attacks. As if we needed more reasons to dislike these creepy pests.
Although chikungunya has been getting a lot of press lately, it isn't the only mosquito-borne illness threatening Floridians. With five confirmed cases of West Nile virus reported last year, and another recent confirmed case in Volusia County, knowing how to protect oneself from Florida mosquitoes is crucial in the remaining hot months. While the elderly are at a greater risk for West Nile virus "only about 1-in-5 people who are infected develop symptoms, which include fever, headache and body aches, and a few of those who are sickened develop a more serious illness that is sometimes fatal", said Dr. Amy Vittor of the University of Florida Health's infectious disease division.
Using insect repellent on exposed skin, wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors, and eliminating any stagnant water where mosquitoes can breed are just some measures you can take to keep your family safe from mosquito-borne illnesses like West Nile virus and chikungunya. Check out this article from The Daytona Beach News Journal for more details.

Financial Aid - Current Students
Our scholarships, grants, loans and work-study opportunities can make your college education more affordable than you ever thought possible. Need-based financial aid is not available to international students, although many students can qualify for loans without demonstrating need.
Applying for financial aid is simple -- just follow our easy guide or view the FAFSA Tutorial.
NOVA is now 100% Direct Lending. Loans are money that you or your parents borrow and repay with interest. Education loans are offered at low interest rates and have long repayment terms. Some loans require a demonstration of need, others do not.
Scholarships are awards that do not have to be paid back and are based on student performance and talent. Some scholarships consider financial need when determining eligibility.
Grants are financial awards that are based on demonstration of financial need and do not have to be paid back.
Work-study is a financial aid program that allows eligible students to earn money toward their educational expenses by working a part-time job at one of the NOVA campuses. The work-study program is administered by Campus Work-Study Coordinators and the College Financial Aid Office.
Students must be eligible for federal financial aid, be enrolled in at least 6 credits, and have demonstrated financial need in order to potentially qualify for federal work-study. All work-study awards are contingent on the student's eligibility, funding, and approval by the NOVA Human Resources Department and the College Financial Aid Office.
Welcome to the Financial Aid Dashboard, where you can log in to view, complete and submit requested financial aid information and/or forms to the NOVA financial aid office.

Students with pending financial aid can purchase books against their excess financial aid beginning online on Aug 6th. Campus bookstore purchases begin on Aug 6th and continue through the term census date, Sept 8th, the end of the book purchase period. Students must complete the Bookstore Authorization E-Form, via the Financial Aid Dashboard, prior to completing their purchase. Students enrolled in distance learning or wishing to make their purchase online must complete and electronically sign the Bookstore Authorization form via the Dashboard prior to your order being processed. Students enrolled or planning to enroll in later starting classes who desire to use their financial aid to purchase books must do so during this purchase period. Students who are awarded after the term census date will not be able to charge bookstore purchases against their undisbursed financial aid award until a second book purchase period opens prior to the second eight-week session.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Financial Aid Support Center at 855.323.3199 or your campus financial aid office.
Financial Aid Pending (FAP) Holds
The College Financial Aid Office (CFAO) is working diligently to process all financial aid applications. To prevent classes from being cancelled, we are placing FAP indicators on student accounts that meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards and have no debt holds. In addition, the student must meet one of the following criteria:
- The student's "To Do List" on NOVAConnect self-service shows receipt of all required documents (excluding high school diploma), but aid has not yet been awarded
- The student has a loan offered within the last two weeks that is not yet accepted
- A FAFSA correction has been sent to the Central Processor that has not yet come back to NOVA (EC, Electronic Correction, on "To Do List")
- First-year Pathway/Adult Career Pathway students
- First-year GPS students
- Awarded students who need an additional amount to cover tuition and fees
- Students whose EFC's fall within potential Pell Grant range and who have open checklist item(s) for outstanding documents
- Students with ISIRs in PeopleSoft and incomplete checklists who are registered for classes
The CFAO will award, in the order files are completed, as many files as possible between now and the first day of classes. We will do our best to award your aid, but FAP's will generally come off at the close of business on Wednesday, August 11, 2014, whether or not you have received an award. Watch your NOVAConnect account. Respond immediately to additional requests for information. Please take the following steps:
- If you don't see an award by Friday, August 8, 2014, make arrangements to pay your bill until your aid is processed.
- If you are accepting an awarded Perkins or Direct Loan for the first time in recent years at NOVA, you must complete a Master Promissory Note and loan counseling before any money is actually in place and before you can use that money to purchase books or pay your bill. Allow five days for processing the loan after the loan is accepted and paperwork is submitted. FAPs for loans in offered but not accepted status will hold classes for these three+ weeks only.
- Register for all classes for the term before you go to the bookstore; your aid will show as reduced if you are less than full-time. Regardless of when your classes begin, you cannot use financial aid to buy books after September 8, 2014. The first day to charge books for students with enough aid in place is August 6, 2014.
You are responsible for your own registered classes. Drop all fall 2014 registered classes you are not planning to attend. You can be charged for these classes and can even receive failing grades for these classes. A FAP (NVCC Financial Aid Award Pending) will prevent your classes from dropping for non-payment but does not prevent you from dropping classes yourself.
If you withdraw or stop attending before the term is over, whether or not you complete some credits, a portion of your aid will likely have to be returned, resulting in your owing money to NOVA, the Department of Education and/or the Commonwealth. Review the Return to Title IV policy on NOVA's website.
Who Is Eligible?
To qualify for financial aid, you must:
- Be enrolled in an eligible program of study.
- Maintain satisfactory academic standing.
- Not be in default on a federal educational loan or owe a repayment to a federal grant.
State and federally funded aid programs require:
- U.S. citizenship
- Permanent residency or refugee status
- Virginia residency (state funds only)
- Federal school code for NOVA 003727
Credits for audited courses do not count in any financial aid eligibility calculation. Most courses taken through the Extended Learning Institute may qualify for financial aid eligibility. All financial aid programs require placement in an eligible degree or certificate curriculum.

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has joined other members of the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup — a voluntary alliance of government organizations, conservation groups and private companies working to enhance water quality — in committing to reduce the level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that reach the area's waterways.
These pollutants are present on parking lots and asphalt surfaces treated with refined coal-tar sealants, the most commonly available types of sealants, and are often washed in to waterways during a rainfall. Water-quality tests of Salt Creek and the upper DuPage River have detected PAHs at concentrations that are not considered a danger to humans but are potentially harmful to wildlife. Under the approved memorandum of understanding, workgroup members commit to use alternative products that do not emit PAHs.
"All of the Chicagoland region's stormwater eventually makes its way to rivers and streams, and pollutants become buried in sediment layers where they have long-term negative impacts on wildlife and the environment," says John "Ole" Oldenburg, the District's director of the Office of Natural Resources.
Safer sealants are comparable in cost to coal-tar based products, so member organizations don't anticipate significant cost increases associated with the new agreement.
"We're also hoping that by creating greater demand for the safer products at a wholesale level, they'll become more widely available to individual consumers," adds Oldenburg.
To learn more about the DuPage River Salt Creek Workgroup and the research that helps improve the watershed's health, visit www.drscw.org.
Established in 1915, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County manages over 25,000 acres of prairies, woodlands and wetlands. Each year, over 4.3 million visitors enjoy the District's 60 forest preserves, 145 miles of trails, five education centers, and scores of scheduled programs and events. To learn more, call 630-933-7200 or visit www.dupageforest.org.

NEW YORK, - Bill Daly doesn't think much time will pass before the NHL's collective bargaining talks resume.
The deputy commissioner expects negotiations to be held this week, although no formal session with the NHL Players' Association had been scheduled as of Monday afternoon.
A source says the first meeting is likely scheduled for Wednesday but all sides are keeping the location and other details private.
The sides last sat down together on Wednesday in New York, when the NHLPA presented a new proposal.
Even though the union worked off a framework previously tabled by the NHL, commissioner Gary Bettman indicated they were still "far apart."
Daly welcomes the idea of adding the input of a third party into the stalled negotiations.
"We are able to confirm that we have agreed to a request by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to engage in meetings with the Union that will involve the participation of Federal Mediators," said Daly. "While we have no particular level of expectation going into this process, we welcome a new approach in trying to reach a resolution of the ongoing labor dispute at the earliest possible date. We have no further comment on the upcoming meetings at the current time."
Both sides have proposed going to a 50-50 split of revenues each season, with the NHL offering $211 million in additional payments to help ease the transition. The NHLPA has asked for $393 million.
The lockout is now in its 11th week and has forced the NHL to cancel all games through Dec. 15.

Talking Trans Health with the NY Times
April 27, 2010
Dr. Laura Erickson-Schroth is working on "Trans Bodies, Trans Selves," a resource guide for transgender and other gender-variant people. Last week, she took questions at the New York Times' City Room blog about transgender issues, and got one in particular about transgender-inclusive health insurance:
My questions deal with medical issues. It's problematic enough finding health care professionals who can deal with ordinary and trans-related medical care, but one vexing issue is medical insurance. Insurance companies get really confused over things like prostate exams for women, or gynecological exams for men. It's either that or they'll classify the insured as the wrong sex, and then not deal with HRT. Some insurers deny payment for ordinary treatment even if it is not related to a trans care exclusion. Is there anything in the recent health insurance reform that addresses insurance discrimination against trans people? — Posted by Joann Prinzivalli
Dr. Erickson-Schroth responded:
Under many insurance plans, transgender-related care is excluded, meaning that insurance does not cover mental health care (if it is related to transition), hormone treatment or surgeries. Furthermore, many insurance companies do not cover care if it can be related (by them) to the policyholder being transgender – and I have heard about all sorts of things, including cholesterol tests, somehow related to the policyholder being transgender. The Human Rights Campaign has a specific project that investigates transgender-inclusive benefits and provides tips on how to find out what your particular insurance plan covers without putting your job in jeopardy. You may be able to gain some information about your company if it is listed in the Corporate Equality Index, a project that rates LGBT workplace policies and benefits. Insurance companies are often willing to offer benefits for transgender employees if they are requested, especially if the company that has the contract with the insurance provider is large. Because transgender surgeries (the most costly part of transgender care) are rare, it costs pennies for a company to add transgender benefits. Though it is not as difficult as you would think to add transgender coverage, many employees are afraid to ask or unaware that they can.

Most touring bands book years of shows in dingy rock venues, playing for few more than the members of other groups on the bill before getting the call up to the big leagues. On its debut road trek, Los Angeles rockers Stars in Stereo nabbed such a spot opening for post-hardcore favorites The Used.
"It's been like going to rock school, watching them and learning," guitarist Jordan McGraw said. "We couldn't have asked for a better first tour."
Added bassist Justin Siegel, "To have an example like that, guys who have been touring since we were kids, has been so invaluable. Also, their tour bus is absolutely spotless. We hope to achieve that level of cleanliness one day."
The dates with The Used folded right into a supporting slot on Foxy Shazam's tour, which includes a stop next Wednesday at Diamond Ballroom. It's not by chance that these opportunities have come early, but by matter of design. Like Thunder GM Sam Presti, Stars in Stereo meticulously plotted a course and has executed it with surgical precision.
"We came together at the right time. We wanted to do something that was really organized with a true purpose behind it. We set out to do exactly what we have come out with," Siegel said. "We sat down, figured out what we wanted to do, how were going to do it, and promised not to settle for anything less."
The four founding members — including guitarist Ryan McCormack and drummer Drew Langan — found a lead singer in former solo artist Bec Hollcraft and made short order of writing and recording Stars in Stereo's debut LP, due later this year.
The band is already making waves with the recently released lead single, "The Broken" — sounding like a heavier, but equally polished Paramore — and hopes the big tours keep rolling out as to spread what they believe is a long forgotten, positive message in emo-alternative music.
"A lot of bands come out with every negative emotion and horror story they have and throw it onto one album," McGraw said. "We knew we didn't want to do that. We wanted something that people could feel good about after listening to it. I think that's needed as much or more than ever right now."
Added Siegel, "That's not to say sad songs aren't good. We just didn't want that to be our first impression."

Monthly highlights of 08!
She Said Yes!!
Christmas Dinner at the Oak Room!
Habitat for Humanity House Dedication!
Although trying to be consistent with a blog is a little time consuming, I feel like it is forcing me to appreciate and really realize what a wonderful job I have! This morning was another great experience and blessing to me during this holiday season! My assignment today was to photograph the Habitat for Humanity house that Samford helped sponsor for "Home for the Holidays 2008." This entire house was built in 10 days for Jocelyn and her 4 year old daughter, Jaelyn. Mike Murphy from ABC33/40 presented Jocelyn with the keys to her new house, after Randy Pittman from Samford presented them with a bible. My favorite picture from the morning is the one above of little Jaelyn holding the keys to her new home in one hand, and gripping the bible with the other. Although I know she was very thankful and excited about her new house, I'm not sure she realizes at such a young age that this house was made possible through a handful of complete strangers who love the Lord. The volunteers most likely did not personally know Jocelyn or Jaelyn, but they wanted to help improve this mother and daughters by showing them the love of Jesus Christ through their act of service. Thank the Lord for these selfless volunteers!
I love Skinner!

Santa Baby
They have since moved away, but I am thankful they are still a part of my life, and that I am going to be able to watch this little one grow! Expect to see plenty more photos of this sweet little face on my blog in the future!
The one above is my favorite! She's got them BOTH wrapped around her little fingers!!
Shelley and Michael
It was pretty chilly outside, but the sweet bridesmaids were troopers and braved the cold to go outside for a little while to get some fun shots! These girls were particularly fun for me to shoot because some were sorority sisters of mine from Samford. I shot Sarah Schmidt's (far left) wedding this summer in Nashville, and as always it was a joy to see her!
Shelley and Michael chose not to see each other before the ceremony, but wanted a picture of the two of them holding hands. I typically do this around a door, but the stone outside was so pretty I had to make it happen. I'm pretty sure I made Shelley incredibly nervous with this shot, but surely she had faith in me that I wouldn't ruin her moment!
The reception was at a place called Windbrook. It was a renovated barn that was absolutely beautiful! If you're planning a wedding in Cullman, I would definitely check it out!

A Perfect Passion: Mykola Kanevets & The Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance Company
"A Perfect Passion" is a documentary about one man's extraordinary talent, and his influence on an art form that he has embraced as his life's purpose. Using "Edmonton Hopak", Kanevets' tribute dance to his chosen home as the vehicle to tell his story, this fast-paced, 43-minute film draws the audience into Cheremosh's studio and behind the stage of one of Alberta's premier theatres to watch Kanevets in action with his dancers, all the while revealing Kanevets' own reactions, philosophies, and process for taking a dance from a mere idea in his head to a costumed production. It is a first-hand view of all that happens before the audience ever sees a dance; and a glimpse into the life of this usually private man.

Social Entrepreneurship
Radhika Kakani, owner of Indigo Market, talks about ways to mix social entrepreneurship into a small business owner's bottom line on Monday, June 3, at noon at the Main Library.
"Social Entrepreneurship: Is there an Opportunity for Private Businesses to Have a Social Mission?" is part of the library's Small Business Lunch & Learn series. The program will be held in the second-floor Events Room from noon to 1 p.m. Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring a brown bag lunch. Coffee and water will be provided by the library.
Ms. Kakani will discuss how businesses with a social mission differ from nonprofit, private, and public corporations; how they work and who is already operating these kinds of businesses; and what is the state of Alabama' s policy regarding these business types.
Ms Kakani has more than 15 years of experience specializing in French and Indian cuisine coupled with 20 years of consulting experience with a specialization in strategic management, information technology and marketing. She is the owner of Indigo Market, LLC, a for-benefit company in food production and mobile garden manufacturing focused on connecting creative communities together through gastronomy, the art and science of good eating.
The Main Library's Small Business Lunch & Learns are designed to help you explore new ideas to grow your business or to develop your entrepreneurial ambitions. These lectures are free of charge and open to the public.

I'm not big on historical fiction, but I didn't realize that that was what this was until I read the Epilouge. This story is an amazing book, made even better when you find yourself in an intense section of the story, only to take a break, get up, look outside and relax and remember it is just a book. Still it is hard to imagine someone going through the tradegies that our stowaway faced. This is a great read for a day when you're sick but can't sleep.

Hides in a locker on the Enduarance as a stowaway; the ship crashes into ice hundreds of miles away form the nearest whaling station; the crew takes life boats and becomes stranded on an island; his feet get amputated after losing them to frostbite.

Player Power Rankings
Corey Perry Surges
by Tom Awad
During the season, these rankings -- which appear on Mondays in concert with the NHL Power Rankings -- are based on player production in terms of Hockey Prospectus' GVT valuation metric. If you are unfamiliar with GVT and how it works, you can find more here.
Check out the full rankings below. We'll be back every Monday with new editions.
Player Power Rankings: Skaters
These rankings are based on games through March 27.
OGVT: Offensive GVT
GGVT: Goaltending GVT
DGVT: Defensive GVT
SGVT: Shootout GVT
GVT: Total GVT
Rank Player OGVT/GGVT DGVT SGVT GVT
1. Daniel Sedin, F, Vancouver Canucks 21.9 2.9 -0.5 24.3
Comment: The last two players to lead the league in scoring as part of the Presidents Trophy-winning team were Mario Lemieux in 1993 (160 points) and Wayne Gretzky in 1987 (183 points); Daniel could be the third.
2. Jonathan Toews, F, Chicago Blackhawks 14.9 5.1 1.7 21.7
Comment: There are several other forwards who, like Toews, play regularly at even strength, on the power play and on the penalty kill. However, no others also have 74 points (only Anze Kopitar and Claude Giroux are close). Can we give this man the Hart?
3. Anze Kopitar, F, Los Angeles Kings 12.1 7.1 -0.1 19.1
Comment: It's hard to imagine any injury to any player changing a team's playoff fortunes more than Kopitar's ankle injury. Kopitar is the Kings' MVP, and without him it's unlikely the Kings can get to the second round.
4. Corey Perry, F, Anaheim Ducks 15.9 3.6 -0.8 18.8
Comment: In a single week, Perry jumped from 12th to fourth on this list. In 10 games since March 6, Perry has 13 goals and four assists, is plus-9 and has a 6.2 GVT. The Ducks have moved back from 11th to seventh in the West during this time.
5. Alex Ovechkin, F, Washington Capitals 13.8 3.3 1.4 18.4
Comment: How good is Ovechkin? He's fifth among skaters in GVT and sixth in points, his team is third in the NHL ... yet this is, by far, the worst season of his career.
6. Steven Stamkos, F, Tampa Bay Lightning 18.0 2.2 -1.9 18.2
Comment: The dry spell continues for Stamkos. While he was never likely to continue burying 21 percent of his shots, he has scored only two goals on 42 shots in his last 15 games -- given his ability, expect a turnaround soon.
7. Martin St. Louis, F, Tampa Bay Lightning 16.6 2.0 -0.5 18.1
Comment: St. Louis now has 35 power-play assists, the highest number recorded since 2007-08 when Sergei Gonchar had 38.
8. Sidney Crosby, F, Pittsburgh Penguins 15.2 2.7 -0.2 17.7
Comment: GVT takes into account opportunity as well as production, which is why Crosby remains in the top 10 almost three months after his concussion; accomplishing so much in only 41 games is truly impressive.
9. Ryan Kesler, F, Vancouver Canucks 12.2 5.7 -0.4 17.5
Comment: While Kesler may finish with fewer points than last season, the Canucks' team success and Pavel Datsyuk's injury will probably allow him to win his first Selke Trophy as top defensive forward.
10. Henrik Sedin, F, Vancouver Canucks 14.8 2.7 -0.3 17.2
Comment: Henrik is clearly a pass-first player; other than him, the top 10 scorers in the league average 3.4 shots per game. He averages a hair under 2.0 a game ... and amazingly, this is the second-highest shot rate of his career.
Player Power Rankings: Goalies
Rank Player OGVT/GGVT DGVT SGVT GVT
1. Tim Thomas, G, Boston Bruins 39.8 -1.1 -2.4 36.2
Comment: The NHL's best-ever save percentage was .937 (rounding up), posted by Dominik Hasek in 1998-99; after stopping 54 of 55 shots this week, Thomas currently sits at .938.
2. Pekka Rinne G, Nashville Predators 30.1 0.2 3.1 33.4
Comment: Rinne and Thomas have more in common than jostling for the Vezina: Both established themselves in Finland before coming to the NHL. At age 19, Rinne was Thomas' backup playing for Karpat in 2001-02.
3. Henrik Lundqvist, G, New York Rangers 22.8 0.6 5.9 29.2
Comment: Lundqvist's 11 shutouts are the most in four seasons; Martin Brodeur had 12 in 2006-07.
4. Carey Price, G, Montreal Canadiens 24.9 -0.6 1.3 25.6
Comment: Price remains the league's workhorse: His 67 games played and 3,925 minutes are league-leading totals, and his 1,844 saves trail only Cam Ward.
5. Roberto Luongo, G, Vancouver Canucks 27.0 0.0 -3.5 23.5
Comment: Luongo has been one of the league's worst performers in the shootout, allowing 12 goals on 26 shots. Luckily for the Canucks, there are no shootouts in the playoffs.
