"Freelance to Agency" Podcast
PRESENTING the full audio recording of "From Freelance to Agency: Start Small, Stay Small", a panel at SXSW Interactive 2009 featuring Roger Black (founder of agencies huge and small), Kristina Halvorson (freelancer turned agency head), and Whitney Hess (agency pro turned freelance), and moderated by yours truly.
The panel was about quitting your job (or coping with a layoff), working as a freelancer, collaborating with others, and what to do if your collaboration starts morphing into an agency. We sought to answer questions like these:
- What business and personal skills are required to start a freelance business or a small agency? Is freelancing or starting a small agency a good fit for my talents and abilities?
- Is freelancing or starting a small agency the right work solution for me in a scary and rapidly shrinking economy? Can the downsides of this economy work to my advantage as a freelancer or small agency head?
- I've been downsized/laid off/I'm stuck in a dead-end job working longer hours for less money. Should I look for a new job or take the plunge and go freelance?
- What can I expect in terms of income and financial security if I switch from a staff job to freelancing? What techniques can I use as a freelancer to protect myself from the inevitable ups and downs?
- How do I attract clients? How much in-advance work do I need to line up before I can quit my job?
- How do I manage clients? What client expectations that are normal for in-house or big agency work must I deliver on as a freelancer or the head of a small or virtual agency? Which expectations can I discard? How do I tell my client what to expect?
- Do I need an office? What are the absolute minimum tools I need to start out as a one-person shop?
- How big can my freelance business grow before I need to recast it as a small agency?
- What models are out there for starting an agency besides the conventional Inc. model with all its overhead? Which model would work best for me?
- Who do I know with whom I could start a small or virtual agency? What should I look for in my partners? What should I beware of?
- If I'm lucky enough to be growing, how do I protect my creative product and my professional reputation while adding new people and taking on more assignments?
- How big can my agency grow before it sucks? How I can grow a business that's dedicated to staying small?
Whitney Hess has written a fine wrap-up of the panel, including a collection of tweets raving about it, some of Mike Rohde's visual coverage, and links to other people's posts about the panel.

I was there and liked the panel, but I missed a large company in the panel. The panelmembers all shared the same thoughts about staying small, which wasn't really good for discussion.
AJ Kandy said on 30 March 2009 at 3:02 pm:
Great discussion! Wish I could have been there. I echo Whitney's point about charging what your worth — bad clients always want to lowball you. And was Roger really thrown through a window?
(One suggestion, you might want to have someone EQ out that high-pitched digital noise that runs all the way through the file…Add some compression and limiting to even out the volume levels…GarageBand can do that with its podcast compression settings.)

Ryan said on 31 March 2009 at 2:37 pm:
Really enjoyed that. One thing I would have liked to hear more on was money. Namely, what are those that run agencies making? Just via the agency, not book sales or speaking, etc… Seems to me that a lot of freelancers hoping to build a small agency have what may or may not be a disillusion about a of a (small) pot of gold at the end of that? What's the reality.
We wouldn't get into it unless we loved it, but is the financial reward worth the risk of financing to have permanent people on board?
Michal said on 31 March 2009 at 3:32 pm:

Alessio Carone said on 7 April 2009 at 10:13 am:
Thank you very much for sharing. It is quite interesting listening while working on boring code. I have a suggestion and a question
Suggestion: It would be great to have an alternative content version, even if generated with some automatic software. Sometimes I find easier to follow a discussion or digest some of the keypoints by reading that listening.
Question: do you think that you will be able to make more people in the web design/business talk about this same topic?
I am really curious to know more and look at various point of view. I think that everyone has an unique experience working as freelancer to find a successful way or living that it cannot be reduced simply to some general solution. For me it is more instructive than any tutorial on photoshop even because it is difficult to relate with people that are doing your same business, especially because everyone looks like a potential competitor, or we get too much tied down in the isolation of our working desk.
Anyway thanks to all the people at the conference foryour input (an thx to Mike Rohde I really enjoyed your panels :) )

The Albany-Dougherty Coalition to End Homelessness kicked off what's expected to be a successful week of service on Thursday morning.
Mayor Dorothy Hubbard signed and read a proclamation designating the beginning of the 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness.
Starting next Monday, the coalition will feed the homeless at River Road Church, Greater Second Mount Olive, and the Salvation Army.
There, people will be asked to fill out an anonymous survey to better count of numbers of homeless people in our area.
"We've identified 800 children in the Dougherty county school system that meet the definition so we figure somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 people in our local community now today that meet that definition of homeless," said Albany Dougherty Homeless Coalition Member David Blackwell.
The coalition says one of their biggest goals is to increase the number of emergency and temporary housing in Albany and Dougherty County.

A Sedation Dentist Understands Your Fears More Than Anything
Finding a good sedation dentist can be hard. In fact, just finding a good dentist can be hard. Today's patients expect a caring staff, gentleness, a modern facility, and reassurance that they are in the best of hands. Today's sedation patients expect even more than the average patient, mostly due to a lifetime fear of dental visits. It is crucial that the dental phobic patient find the right sedation dentist.
Traits of a sedation dentist
Empathy – one of the most important traits of an excellent sedation dentist. Many patients avoid visiting the dentist due to fear of being ridiculed about their oral condition. They feel that their mouth is so bad that the dentist will chastise them, thus adding to their dental fear. A good sedation dentist will listen and empathize with each patient's dental history. Your sedation dentist will let you know that your smile can be fixed and that you will be treated gently and with respect.
The sedation process will also be explained, especially the part where you won't remember your appointment. Many patients are astonished at the amount of dental work that can be accomplished (such as a sedation root canal) in what seems like a short time period. You will wake up feeling great, and with the smile of your dreams.
You may wonder, what are the requirements to be a sedation dentist? Or, more humorously, why does this guy want to focus on people who are deathly afraid of him? Dentistry is a calling. It takes an unusual amount of schooling, fine motor skills, and patience. We are part doctor, part psychologist. To be a good sedation dentist, we must be even more of a psychologist, since it is our patient's mind and psyche that we must strive to understand before we can even be a dentist. Requirements to be a sedation dentist include additional training after dental school in anesthesia and medical emergencies.
Experience and patient testimonials are also important in finding a good sedation dentist. Is sedation a main focus of your doctor? What do even the most fearful patients say about their sedation dentist experience? If the most phobic patients are now that dentist's greatest advocate, then you know something's being done right. The end result for patients is they can feel more confidence than ever before about taking advantage of sedation dentistry in most any situation.
All of this is important to evaluate in order to find a good sedation dentist. When all of your research is done and you have made the decision to make an appointment, after however many years it has been, what it all comes down to is trust, empathy, and the confidence that your sedation dentist can make your smile beautiful and functional again. Your life can be forever changed in the hands of a good sedation dentist.

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
July 27, 2011
This morning Heidi Golding, one of CBOs experts on military and veterans compensation, testified before the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs on the prospective demands that veterans returning from recent and ongoing military operations will place on the health care system of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Those operations (overseas contingency operations, or OCO) are Operation Iraqi Freedom, which ended in August 2010; Operation New Dawn, the ongoing military engagement in Iraq; and Operation Enduring Freedom, in Afghanistan.
Heidis testimony is drawn primarily from the CBO study she wrote last October on Potential Costs of Veterans Health Care. (The data in that study were updated for the effects of inflation for this testimony.)
Veterans Health Administrations (VHAs) Costs for Providing Medical Care
CBOs analysis of VHAs costs indicated the following:
- In 2010, VHA spent $1.9 billion to treat 400,000 OCO patients. VHA obligated $4,800 per OCO patient, on average, compared with an average of $8,800 per patient for veterans from all eras who were being treated at VHA. OCO veterans are typically younger and healthier than the average VHA patient and as a result are less expensive to treat. Thus, although OCO patients made up 7 percent of the veterans VHA treated in 2010, they were responsible for only 4 percent of the total amount that VHA obligated for medical care and research.
- The medical costs associated with VHAs treatment of OCO veterans could, in CBOs estimation, total between $40 billion and $55 billion over the 10-year period from 2011 through 2020, depending on the number of military personnel deployed to overseas contingencies in the future and the rate of growth of medical expenditures per person. That amount would be in addition to the $6 billion that VHA had spent on OCO veterans health care by the end of 2010. VHA is funded by annual discretionary appropriations (unlike Medicare, for example, which is funded by permanent appropriations); therefore, the estimated amounts would only be spent if lawmakers decided in the future to fully fund the care that OCO veterans are receiving from VHA under current policies.
Medical Status of Military Personnel Who Return from Overseas Contingency Operations
The number of OCO veterans using VHA in the future, and the potential costs for treating them, are affected by the number and types of medical conditions that service members develop while deployed to overseas contingency operations. Consequently, CBOs analysis examined the number of veterans who already use VAs health care services and the number who may use them in the future, as well as their primary health conditions:
- Of the 2.3 million active-duty military personnel and reservists who had deployed to combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan by the end of March 2011, 1.3 million have become eligible for VAs health care services. Of those 1.3 million people, almost 685,000 (52 percent) have sought medical care from VHA since 2002.
- Through June of this year, close to 44,600 service members had been wounded in action during those operations. For the recently concluded Operation Iraqi Freedom, the survival rate among all wounded troops averaged 90.2 percent; by comparison, the survival rate during the Vietnam conflict was 86.5 percent.
- Department of Defense (DoD) statistics indicate that through the end of March 2011, about 1,570 service members had required amputations, including over 3 percent of all troops wounded in action.
- Through March of this year, the most common medical conditions diagnosed among the OCO veterans who had ever used VAs health care services were musculoskeletal disorders, which affect muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, joints, cartilage, or spinal disks (55 percent of OCO veterans who had ever used VHA), and mental health problems (51 percent of such veterans).
War-Related Medical Conditions Receiving Widespread Attention: Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Traumatic brain injury, or TBI (an injury to the brain arising from sudden trauma to the head), and mental health disordersparticularly post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD (an anxiety disorder triggered by a traumatic event)are often cited as conditions whose treatment could result in substantial future costs for VHA. At the request of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, CBO is analyzing the number of veterans diagnosed with those conditions within VHA and the costs to treat them, but those results are not yet available.
For the numbers presented here based on last falls study, CBO projected the total costs to treat OCO veterans on the basis of broad categories of medical services, incorporating observed changes in OCO veterans use of services in the years following their enrollment. CBOs analysis to date suggests the following:
- A great deal of uncertainty surrounds the prevalence of PTSD and TBI within the OCO population and, hence, the number of veterans with those conditions whom DoD, VHA, and other health care providers may encounter in the future.
- By the end of March of this year, DoD clinicians had diagnosed PTSD in about 75,000 service members either during their deployment to an overseas contingency operation or after their return. Among OCO veterans who had received medical care from VHA over the same period, about 187,000 (27 percent) had been diagnosed with PTSD. The estimates from DoD and VHA are not additive; some veterans have been treated in both systems and therefore there is some overlap.
- Through March 2011, DoD clinicians had diagnosed symptomatic TBI in a total of 35,000 service members during or just after they returned from deployments to overseas contingency operations. The most recent data available indicate that about 90 percent of those injuries were classified as mild TBIalso known as a concussionin which the brain typically heals quickly.
- VHA researchers have reported that its clinicians diagnosed symptomatic TBI in about 26,000 (7 percent) of new OCO patients who were screened from the implementation of its screening program in 2007 through 2009. That rate of diagnosis is consistent with the limited data published by other researchers.

LYME REGIS, Dorset's most westerly town, shelters snugly between steep, fossil-filled cliffs. Its intimate size and photogenic qualities make this a popular and congested spot in high summer, with some upmarket literary associations – Jane Austen summered in a seafront cottage and set part of Persuasion in Lyme (the town appears in the 1995 film version), while novelist John Fowles lived here until his death in 2005 (the film adaptation of his book, The French Lieutenant's Woman, was shot here).
Colourwashed cottages and elegant Regency and Victorian villas line its seafront and flanking streets, but Lyme's best-known feature is a practical reminder of its commercial origins: the Cobb, a curving harbour wall originally built in the thirteenth century. It has suffered many alterations since, most notably in the nineteenth century, when its massive boulders were clad in neater blocks of Portland stone. On Bridge Street, the excellent Lyme Regis Museum displays artefacts related to the town's literary connections, including John Fowles' office chair, and provides a crash course in local history and geology, while Dinosaurland on Coombe Street, fills out the story of ammonites and other local fossils. Foodies should head to the Town Mill Complex in Mill Lane, just off Coombe Street, where as well as a working mill, pottery and art gallery there's a fantastic cheese shop, local brewery and café/tearoom.Read More
Lyme's Jurassic Coast
Lyme's Jurassic Coast
The cliffs around Lyme are made up of a complex layer of limestone, greensand and unstable clay, a perfect medium for preserving fossils, which are exposed by landslips of the waterlogged clays. In 1811, after a fierce storm caused parts of the cliffs to collapse, 12-year-old Mary Anning, a keen fossil-hunter, discovered an almost complete dinosaur skeleton, a 30ft ichthyosaurus now displayed in London's Natural History Museum.
Hands-off inspection of the area's complex geology can be enjoyed all around the town: as you walk along the seafront and out towards The Cobb, look for the outlines of ammonites in the walls and paving stones. To the west of Lyme, the Undercliff is a fascinating jumble of overgrown landslips, now a nature reserve, where a great path wends its way through the undergrowth for around seven miles to neighbouring Seaton in Devon. East of Lyme, a huge landslip in 2008 closed the Dorset Coast Path to Charmouth (Jane Austen's favourite resort), as well as blocking the two-mile beach route to the resort, which was previously walkable at low tide. At Charmouth, you can rejoin the coastal path leading to the headland of Golden Cap, whose brilliant outcrop of auburn sandstone is crowned with gorse.

10. Retailers will communicate with individual customer profiles
The old adage "information is power" takes on new impetus in 2012. This year data exchange between retailers and social networks will offer new insights into the psyche of the shopper. Using these emerging customer profiles retail marketing teams must translate this wealth of data into timely, personalised and relevant communications.
9. Flexible, local shipping models will be vital for customer loyalty
According to a report by Forrester in January 2011, shipping issues were one of the most common reasons for cart abandonment in Europe. As a result, market specific, flexible shipping models will be vital for growth. In the UK this is evidenced by the growing popularity of the click-and-collect phenomenon.
8. Borderless shopping communities will emerge
In the year ahead, international marketplace models will provide sellers of all sizes around the world with the opportunity to expand their operations internationally, without the cost intensive outlay traditionally associated with establishing local delivery models, storage facilities etc. Sellers will be able to dabble in international shopping communities and dedicate resources based on real world demand.
7. More people will take their social network shopping
Getting a second opinion before buying is nothing new, but now rather than taking a friend shoppers can take their entire social network with them. Retailers will use this not just for brand awareness, but for product development and customer service too. Rakuten's ShopTogether enables marketplace users to invite friends to view products and live chat while looking at the product page.
6. An affiliate model will be devised for the High Street
Barcode scanning services such as ShopSavvy help users find the best deal online for a product they locate in store. This unsustainable system means that the physical store sees none of the benefit for its role in that purchase. To support the high street's role in sale conversion a referral model, as exists online to offer a share in online sales they support, must be developed.
5. Retailers will merge online and offline functions
The boundaries between online and offline worlds are becoming increasingly blurred, as retailers fuse their digital and real-world offerings. In 2012 retailers will start to join-up online and offline thinking, replicating the value and offers from the online world in store and the rich product experience from the high street online.
4. Tablet commerce will create a tactile online shopping experience
Bridging the divide between mobile and PC's, tablets present an exciting opportunity for retailers as their rich functionality shifts the traditionally transactional and bargain hunting online experience into a virtual store experience. To capitalise on this retailers must optimise content for tablets and think as creatively about presentation as they would in store.
3. Online shopping will get more personal
The days when a consumer knew the name of their local butcher or flower vendor are probably past; however in 2012 we will see a resurgence of this personal service model. As consumers become jaded by a surfeit of online brand communications, those merchants that offer a more personalized service will lead the field for brand loyalty.
2. Smaller merchants will embrace mobile channels
Often it's the biggest brands that have the resources to invest in new technology. However in 2012, thanks to the rise of affiliate services and marketplaces like Rakuten, even small merchants will be able to harness the mobile channel without incurring heavy infrastructure costs. Affiliate sites like Groupon and Vouchercloud allow merchants to experiment with new consumer channels without implementing a dedicated mobile program.
1. Mobile browsing will turn to buying
In 2011 web enabled mobile devices transformed e-commerce, opening up a new 24/7 channel to the consumer and creating innovative new ways to engage them, from QR codes to location based offers. While mobile sites have developed wonderful browsability, consumer uncertainty around mobile payments is hampering sales conversion. The industry is currently addressing this issue and over the next 18 months we will see the introduction of more secure and seamless mobile payment platforms, which will improve consumer confidence and drive mobile sales.

CHICAGO (WSAU) The Wisconsin men's hockey team upset second-ranked Minnesota 3-to-2 yesterday, playing outdoors at the Hockey City Classic in Chicago. The 18th-ranked Badgers scored all their goals within three-and-a-half minutes in the second period to up 3-0.

Sleep Over Sauce provided an excellent location close to city hall, public transportation, and various restaurants.

While check in is a little awkward (you have to call a number posted on the door to be let in initially), once you get your room keys, it's just like any other hotel, except at an affordable price in the middle of the city. The rooms are cozy, well maintained, and clean. The bathroom is stocked with fresh towels, an ample amount of soap/shampoo, and hand soap. The bed is warm, soft, and positioned in front of a hanging flat screen tv. The only downside is that our room was facing the street making the night hours loud.

This was more of a boarding house than a hotel, with several rooms sharing a bathroom. Parking was a block away & several flights of stairs to room, no elevator. Would not refund $, did not stay anyway. Prefer to pay to stay somewhere else.

Location. Easy approach from the south. Close proximity to public transport (BART and MUNI entrance is a steps from the front door). Nice bed and bedding. Old school decor and large rooms. Helpful staff though some weren't particularly friendly.
Wonderful decor looked worn in places. Slow, crowded lifts (didn't appear all were running). This survey is poorly written.

The Days Inn is a relatively old style motor inn with outside walkways, surrounding a parking lot. The room we rented was a king suite and it was fully refurbished and very comfortable. The AM breakfast is limited and minimal in its offerings but still a plus for those with children. In a city where it is almost impossible to find a parking place and if you can, it is extremely expensive, it was such a pleasure to pull into our parking lot and just park the car and walk to our room. The location is perfect to all points of interest and easy to access.
Good 8.0
I stayed here while attending a conference at the Moscone Center. (The official conference hotels were a bit pricey on a grad-student budget.) The room was a bit small but very comfortable and clean. The continental breakfast was fairly standard: cereal, fruit, toast/muffins. The hotel was within walking distance (about 1 1/2 miles) of the conference center, although some of the neighborhoods between the two were rather run down and a bit scary; there was also a bus stop half a block from the hotel. The free parking is a nice plus, but limited -- I'm not sure what the parking options are when the hotel lot is full.

Interested in a bike that's tailored to the woman rider? Welcome to Devine Designs – our line of bikes that pays tribute to women riders. These aren't men's models painted in pastel. At Diamondback, we started from the ground up, considering every aspect of the female cyclist. The collection features bike geometries built for our smaller frames; colors that reflect our tastes in aesthetics; and overall models that speak to our practical notions of comfort and affordability. With Devine Designs, you'll find the same devotion to technology and elegant craftsmanship that's engineered into all of our Diamondbacks—in designs specifically made for you. We're confident you'll enjoy the ride: We worked hard to make it Devine.
Whether you are new to the trails or a seasoned singletrack rider, our Lux series models have always offered uncompromised quality without compromising your bank account. The perfect blend of hardtail performance with rugged utility, the Lux continues to be a value oriented build ready for any new rider or trail enthusiast looking to jump into the mountain bike scene. For 2014 our Lux series models are combining the trail crushing dominance of last year's Lux 29'ers with the agility of the 26" wheeled Lux from years past; bring on the 27.5!
Why 27.5" Wheelset?
While this is an ongoing debate amongst the masses there are notable benefits to the 27.5" wheel that continue to contribute to its growing popularity. Lower rolling resistance and better traction giving you a smoother ride similar to that of the 29", but with less geometry and suspension travel limitations, or toe clearance concerns. In the end you have a smoother ride than a 26" wheel and greater torsional stiffness and durability than a 29" wheel. Our new, custom SL-7 27.5" Doublewall wheels have been served up to keep you charging ahead on every trail.
At the core of our new Lux 27.5 series is the rugged Diamondback Lux Women Specific Butted 6061-T6 aluminum frame with a newly designed super-low, formed top tube providing strength, style, and clean lines. The new super-low top tube, paired with the 27.5" wheelset, makes this frame more accessible to those who may have been challenged in years past to ride the larger 29" wheeled platforms. Greater clearance also means swinging your leg up and over to start peddling is that much easier!
The components provide more proof of our commitment to providing you with the most appropriate package and value for your money. An SR Suntour XCT 27.5 fork with 80mm travel gives you command of the trail. The Soft Spring travel reacts and rebounds with purpose to smooth out any terrain.
The Tektro IO Plus Mechanical Disc brakes are trail-tuned and provide plenty of stopping power, while the grippy WTB Wolverine tires give you control on every surface.
The SR Suntour XCT crankset with chainguard (22/32/42t) is synced up with the Shimano drivetrain including the EF51-8 speed trigger shifters, TX50 front derailleur, Acera 8 speed rear derailleur, and Shimano HG20 8spd Cassette (12-28t). This combo provides more than enough gearing options to get you where you want to go.
Diamondbacks signature 4-bolt Ahead alloy stem and Lazer Bar are Devine women's-specific width and low rise to create the perfect riding position for the female rider. A DB Lazer Micro Adjust 30.9mm post and Devine Edition MTB saddle ensure that you can pedal in comfort all day long.
If a solid and reliable, all-purpose women's mountain bike is what you're after, the Lux 27.5 is the one for you.
The 2014 Lux 27.5 is berry and comes in three sizes: S (15"), M (17"), L (19").
Height must be between 56-79in.
Height must be between 142-201cm.
Based on your input...

The following provides a brief overview of consumer information related to financial aid programs available at Trinity College. For more detailed materials students may access related web sites and contact the Financial Aid Office directly. To access a printable version (PDF) of this information please click here.
Additional information regarding federal grant programs can be found at the following Web sites:
Additional information regarding federal loan programs including: terms and conditions; loan schedules; the necessity of loan repayment; and required loan exit counseling can be found at the following web sites:
All state grants require students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students should check with their state's department of education for additional application requirements.
Institutional Financial Aid Programs
Additional information regarding institutional grant programs can be found at the following web sites:
Although the primary sources of grants and scholarships are the federal government, state governments and the College, many local and private organizations offer merit and need-based scholarships to assist students with their college expenses. Students can explore these sources through their high school guidance office, local library, and the internet.
Additional information regarding Private Scholarships can be found here.
Financial aid packages may include one or more of the following employment opportunities:
Federal Work-Study positions are not assigned. Typically students work 8 to 10 hours per week to earn their full FWSP award. Students earn between $8.70 and $9.70 per hour and receive biweekly paychecks for hours worked.
Additional information regarding FWSP can be found at the following web sites:
Students attending foreign or domestic study away programs will have their cost of attendance and financial aid adjusted accordingly. Additional information regarding tuition charges, billing and fees can be found here.
Detailed information including how to apply, required application documents and important deadlines can be found at the following web sites:
Eligibility for federal student aid is based on financial need and several other factors. Congress created a federal needs analysis methodology known as FM which is used to calculate eligibility for federal student aid. Many state agencies also use FM to determine eligibility for need-based state grant eligibility. Students should contact their state's department of education for additional information on state grant eligibility. More information regarding federal student aid eligibility can be found here.
Eligibility for need-based institutional aid is calculated using an institutional needs analysis methodology known as IM and as modified by College policy. Students can utilize Trinity's Net Price Calculator to help estimate their family contribution and determine the amount of need-based aid for which they may be eligible. The calculator provides an estimate of eligibility only; the College's Financial Aid Office is the final authority on calculating need and determining aid eligibility. The Net Price Calculator can be found here.
A federal or state drug conviction can disqualify a student for Federal Student Aid funds including grants, loans or work assistance. Convictions only count if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving federal aid.
For purposes of this section, a conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from the student's record does not count, nor is a determination or adjudication arising out of a juvenile proceeding.
For purposes of this section, an illegal drug is a controlled substance as defined by section 102(6) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801(6)), and does not include alcohol or tobacco.
The chart below illustrates the period of ineligibility for FSA funds, depending on whether the conviction was for sale or possession and whether the student had previous offenses. (A conviction for sale of drugs includes convictions for conspiring to sell drugs.)
If a student is convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods of ineligibility are different, the student will be ineligible for the longer period.
A student regains eligibility the day after the period of ineligibility ends or when he or she successfully completes a qualified drug rehabilitation program or passes two unannounced drug tests given by such a program. Further drug convictions will make the student ineligible again.
Students denied eligibility for an indefinite period can regain it after successfully completing a rehabilitation program (as described below), passing two unannounced drug tests from such a program, or if a conviction is reversed, set aside, or removed from the student's record so that fewer than two convictions for sale or three convictions for possession remain on the record.
It is the student's responsibility to certify to Trinity College that he or she has successfully completed the rehabilitation program. A qualified drug rehabilitation program must include at least two unannounced drug tests and must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:

Not for me; I'm already married. My brother is, too, but next week he and his wife will have a special second marriage ceremony in her hometown: Shangrao, China.
Late September/early October of a presidential-election season is not the time of year I'd have picked to be away from work for a week and a half. Among other things, I'll miss the first debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
But it's important to them, and to me, that as much of our family as possible is there to celebrate with them. So you'll have to find someone else to parse that debate with. (Not to worry, I'll be back for their second debate and the vice-presidential debate, and everything that comes after that. But commenting will be in moderation starting now, and until I return.)
In the meantime, wish them luck as a couple — and all of us luck surviving that 14-hour-plus flight. And I'll see y'all back here when I return on Monday, Oct. 8.

They work best if you set them to screen. It's in a normal .psd file because I was too lazy to save them all individually and zip them and whatnot. You may notice a weird grainy texture on them, but don't worry, that'll go away when you set the blending mode. A like is not necessary but would certainly be appreciated! Enjoy!

Apple products take the spotlight
The company's annual developers conference begins Monday, and company watchers are likely to get some sneak peeks and long-awaited answers.
By Aabha Rathee, staff writer at Wall St. Cheat Sheet
Apple's (AAPL) annual Worldwide Developers Conference finally rolls in on Monday, and investors will be paying close attention to every sign and every word from company officials.
As anticipation has built for the conference over the past few weeks, the talk about what Apple may reveal, and what it may not, has only gathered pace. The company will give some sneak peeks and long-awaited answers over the five-day event. But what should you be looking out for?
Based on the buzz from several sources over the past few weeks, here's a quick cheat sheet to the likely talking points at WWDC.
Users have anxiously awaited an update to Apple's computer line for a good two years, and analysts and suppliers have taken note.
But has Apple? Yes, if the buzz preceding the event is accurate. Reports say Apple is likely to debut a new MacBook Pro that is thinner, but more powerful, and flaunts a high-resolution retina display. There is also the possibility of a new iMac desktop as well as updated 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Airs. Intel's (INTC) new Ivy Bridge processors are expected to be incorporated into all three varieties, with the MacBook Pro also getting USB 3.0 ports and upgraded graphics capabilities.
If the hardware makes a pop, can software be far behind? Apple unexpectedly released a preview of its new operating system, OS X Mountain Lion, to its developer community in February and is widely believed to be unveiling other new features at its conference. Word is that the software will borrow several features from Apple's iOS mobile operating system, including improved iCloud integration, a game center, a messages platform and a notification center.
Apple's mobile software is not expected to launch before this fall, but developers may get a preview at the conference. Many of the 5,000 developers in attendance want to know more about building for the new operating system, whenever it does launch. If a software preview comes, it'll also carry hints about possible changes in the highly anticipated iPhone 5. But don't expect too many details; Apple is known well for secrecy and is not going to give away much before its famous hardware launch.
One of the most talked about developments in the past few days has been the possibility of Apple doing away with Google Maps with the launch of iOS 6. The WWDC, then, will be a good place for the company to reveal its rumored new in-house maps and navigation app. Word is that Apple's maps systems will include an impressive 3D feature and turn-by-turn navigation instructions native to iOS. With Google (GOOG) releasing a fancy update to its own maps application this week, Apple will have to have something special.
Since its launch with the iPhone 4S last fall, Siri has always been branded by Apple as a product in beta. It's likely that the voice-enabled personal assistant, which has attracted its share of controversies and lawsuits in the months since, will get more features and improvements at the conference. There may be sessions to let developers know how to better integrate Siri into their third-party apps. It is also expected that Siri will come to the iPad with iOS 6, so look out for hints regarding that.

Viewing the Arab Spring from the perspective of winter, I am not as cynical as some who think all of the upheaval in the Middle East was as concocted as the color revolutions of Europe were by the powers that be. I sincerely believe the fellow who set himself on fire in a town square in Tunisia because he was fed up having to pay bribes to petty bureaucrats just to sell fruits to feed his family because of rising food prices, made a gesture wholly natural and wholly out of frustration, not because George Soros or Barak Obama told him to. The Powers that Be much prefer stability than upheaval.
However, be that as it may, aftermath of all these "revolutions" and culture shocks in the politics and government of the region is leading to a power vacuum which is being filled by Islamist political parties. It may well be the Year of the Protestor according to Time Magazine but it could means decades of Islamist rule judging by the election results according to writers like Chronicles Dr. Srdja Trifkovic.
Why this disconnect between Tahir Square and the ballot box? Because the sad reality is revolutions more often than not are not made by majorities. The secularists of the Arab may well have been sophisticated enough to know they could bring down a government by filling a public square with Twitter bombs and Facebook posts, but they simply are too small a minority to run the country, at least for right now. The Muslim Brotherhood could never get away with organizing such massive protests, the students could and prevent the U.S. from decisively backing the government. But the Brotherhood can get away with winning the majority of seats in the Egyptian Parliament because they for many many years were the only organized opposition to the government and were organized at the street level through the social service the government was happy to hand over to them. Now they'll be running the show because for the masses not educated in the ways of social media, they are their only true representative. History repeats itself in Egypt, as in Iran cira n1979-81, the technocratic elite who thought they would run things while Ayatollah Khomeini would be a figurehead never believe the mullahs were actually dead serious about setting up a theocracy. Instead they wound up back in exile in Paris being kicked out of Iran once again.
But the non-Islamists shouldn't lose hope just for the very fact they are young. Eventually they will inherit the Middle East and elsewhere in time and can run it any way they wish. They have to bide their time and hope Islamism runs its course as a manner of governing as beginning to be the case in Iran. In the meantime they would best be engaged with those who have to work for a living and who don't inhabit Internet cafes. They might learn something in the process.

What to do if installation of a signed MIDlet fails
From Nokia Developer Wiki
Article Metadata
Created: Satu (26 Mar 2007)
Last edited: hamishwillee (25 Jul 2013)
If you are not able to install a midlet that is Java Verified, check the following:
- UTI root certificate is in the device.
- For example: Tools -> Settings -> Security -> Certif. management: MIDP2 Geotrust CA for UTI (This path is device dependent)
- In case you have signed your MIDlet with some other certificate, the corresponding root certificate has to be in the device. Possible certificates are available from Thawte and Verisign. It is generally not possible to use certificates created on your own, or Symbian Developer certificates for MIDlet signing.
- The application is signed only once.
- If there are other signatures than the Java Verified, then that could be an issue. There can only be one signature (one MIDlet-Certificate-1-1 and one MIDlet-Jar-RSA-SHA1).
- The date and time are correct in the device.
- JAR manifest file matches with JAD MIDlet-fields (even a minor mismatch can fail the installation).
- The MIDlet-permission fields are correct and supported by the target device.
- The SIM card is present in the device.

Moustafa Adel Ismail has the world's largest biceps and triceps; his right upper-arm circumference is 63.5 cm (25 in) flexed and 60.96 cm (24 in) non-flexed, and his left upper-arm circumference is 64.77 cm (25.5 in) flexed and 62.23 cm (24.5 in) non-flexed. Moustafa, trains six days a week and eats six meals a day, said: "I have been working out for the last 11 years to get muscles this big". He hopes his newfound fame will be the springboard to become a professional body builder and plans to compete in "naturally enhanced body-building competitions". Guinness World Records 2 of 10 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL The oldest Gymnast: Johanna Quaas (Germany) – 86 years old Johanna Quaas, 86, from Leipzig only began to train at gymnastics in her 50s and is now recognised as the world's Oldest Gymnast. In the last 30 years Johanna has won 11 major championships. To keep in shape for competition, Joanna has a strict exercise regime that involves a combination of gym workouts, running, and yoga. Johanna says that it's "a great feeling to be in the Guinness World Records book. I hope the record inspires others to realise it's never too late to try something new." Guinness World Records 3 of 10 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL Heaviest Sportswoman: Sharran Alexander (UK) – 203.21 kg (32 stone) Sharran Alexander, 46, stands 6ft tall, weighs 32 stone is Britain's only female sumo wrestler and is now the world's Heaviest Sportswoman. Sharran consumes 5,000 calories a day, and to build strength and stamina she swims and walks. Sharran said: "I used to be ashamed of my size. But after taking up sumo I learned to love my body. The Guinness World Records recognition tops it off." Guinness World Records 4 of 10 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL Tallest Donkey: Oklahoma Sam (USA) - 155.45 cm (5ft 1 in) A mule named 'Oklahoma Sam' is today celebrating being crowned the 'Tallest Living Donkey' on the planet. Measuring 15.3 hands (155.45 cm; 5ft 1in) tall, she dwarfs the common donkey (8 hands high) and her own larger 'Mammoth Jackstock' breed (12 hands high). Sam's overall care is handled by 54-year-old Linda Davis, a keen gardener and animal lover. Linda, who calls Sam her "soul mate", says: "It actually doesn't cost anymore to have a donkey of this size. He doesn't eat more. In fact, if I give him more bale he'll just use it to make his bedding more comfortable. He loves his sleep." Guinness World Records 5 of 10 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL Tallest Dog: Zeus (USA) – 111.8 cm (44 in) Just look at the size of this dog. Zeus is a 3-year-old Great Dane from Michigan and measures an incredible 111.8 cm (44 in) from foot to withers: the same size as a donkey. Standing on hind legs, Zeus stretches to 7 ft 4 in and towers over his owner Denise Doorlag. Denise said: "Zeus is an awesome dog," says owner Denise. "The only downside is that everything costs more; the food, medicines, transport. We had to get a van to be able to transport him, and if he steps on your foot- he leaves bruises." Zeus breaks the record of previous record-breaking pooch Giant George, who is 1-inch shorter, which makes Zeus the tallest dog ever recorded in history. Guinness World Records 6 of 10 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL Shortest Bull: Archie (Northern Ireland) – 76.2 cm (30 in) Archie, a 29-month-old Dexter from County Antrim, Northern Ireland, is today recognised as the Shortest Bull in the world. He measures just 76.2 cm (30 in) from the hoof to the withers, 15 inches shorter than other bulls of his breed (typically 45 in). His height means that he's dwarfed by the other animals at his farm, including even the dogs and goats. Guinness World Records 7 of 10 To full screen SHARE TWEET EMAIL New features in the book make it more interactive The new book features augmented reality pictures, which allow the reader to interact with the book. Simply point a tablet at particular pages and it will come to life. Here we see Zac the parrot performing his record of the most slam dunks by a parrot in one minute.

The Salem boys basketball team is no stranger to big wins. After all they did walk away last year with the 2013 VHSL Division 4 crown, but it came with a late season push. The Spartans started 10-8 before going on a 9-2 run leading to that state championship and they find themselves in a similar situation this year. The group sits at 7-6 on the year, but to the team it feels familiar and they see themselves starting to gel.
One piece of the puzzle that graduated was Matt Hill, as one-third of Salem's big three made up of Hill..Troy Mann and Alex Light, but with Mann and Light both standing 6-6 and Light's new and improved lighter frame, the Spartans are still solid in the paint. And when it comes to the big man, he is just now getting his legs back. Post season football kept him off the court for a couple of weeks...and his endurance is just now coming up to speed. If the Spartans can fine tune all that talent, a deep playoff run isn't just possible..it is inevitable..

ive been playing drums for 10 years now. my recent band was having our first show so i needed crash cymbals asap, so i had seen these online and went to my nearest sam ash and tested them out, bought them and put it on my kit. the sound of the 14" crash is not as good as i thought it sounded at the store, it has a fast response, but no delay after, it ends quick, kinda flat sounding, but it has its own lil effect to it. as for the 18" crash nice sound to it, i like my crashes to have a long dely and sound semi trashy, but still a bright sound to it, and thats what this cymbal has to it. all in all good cymbals for drummers on a budget like myself, i'd say a good buy.
