Chalkboard Dining Table
We've seen lots and lots of great ideas utilizing chalkboard paint on play tables and walls, but what about the dining table?
Seeing this chalkboard painted dining table at Design Sponge made us think it would be really handy for keeping the young ones at the table longer. Are you brave enough to try this?

This is really cute - I like the idea of this for an outside table, especially.
Inside, I think it would be scratchy. The whole tableware (and fingernails) on a chalkboard thing.
I can see this as a snack/craft table, but not in our kitchen.
I love this idea and am seriously considering it since I need a new dining room table. My 3 kids just broke my pretty antique table. I just wonder about the durability of the paint. Anyone have any experience with it?
stop the chalkboard madness!! it's just too much
NO WAY. chills up mine spine thinking about the plates, forks and kid nails scratching across the table.
The thought of chalk on the dining table... ick!
It'll be EVERYWHERE! On the kids' hands (and clothes, and faces), on the dishes, on the food, on the floor, on all the other furniture... gross.
If it's the placement of the dishes factor that attracts you to this idea, you could make or buy a Montessori-inspired placemat.
Yeah, I actually did this about a year ago in a fit of whimsy and boredom. Umm, just don't. Really. It's fun as long as no one ever ever eats there. Ever. Otherwise, it's an icky mess.
Chalk and food don't mix. Many schools have removed chalkboards for a real health reason.
I saw similar concept (probably here on AT) with write-on / wipe off paint...
I like that idea a lot better
I actually painted my kitchen table black chalkboard and the legs and chairs in white. My kitchen is black and white demask with deep purple accents. My fridge doors also have the same chalkboard. The doors are chalkboard black and the sides are white. The table is always left black for a clean, crisp contrast, but it super fun when having guests over or game night. The chalk is also used as a reward for the kids when they finish their meals. We have a rose stem holder that holds the chalk in the center of the table. Between guests writing sweet drawings and messages, marking which of the four kids sat where (works GREAT to figure out who didn't clean up their mess) and having a clean slate when wiped off, its the best table I have ever created. I am looking now into selling but have NO CLUE what to list the price as. Any idea's?

Making Science a Fan-tastic Experience
Professor uses BC football game days to boost interest in chemistry
BySaturdays in the fall may be made for college football, but they're not too bad when it comes to chemistry, either, says Assistant Professor of Chemistry Dunwei Wang.
Prior to Eagles home games, Wang and students from his lab in the Merkert Chemistry Center set up shop at Fanfest, the pre-game celebration in the Flynn Recreation Complex for students, parents, alumni and fans.
Next to the bouncy house, Wang uses a radio-controlled car to catch the attention of the children attending Fanfest. They learn that the car doesn't rely on batteries for power, but uses clean, environmentally friendly hydrogen as a power source.
"Football games are a big deal at Boston College," said Wang, a native of China who admits he's still learning the American game. "We thought it was a great chance to show people what kind of scientific research is taking place at Boston College and to reach out to children and let them know that they don't have to be intimidated by science. Science can be fun and they can enjoy learning about it."
Searching for new sources of clean energy is a big part of the research that Wang conducts in his lab. He has used nanotechnology to engineer "nanonets," tiny, highly-conductive web-like structures that show promise as a new platform for a number of clean energy applications, including extracting hydrogen from water and building better lithium ion batteries.
While the nanonets are not on display, water-splitting is exactly what kids get a chance to do at the lab's Fanfest station. It starts with fueling the car. Visitors press a small water-filled hand pump, generating the energy to separate – or split – hydrogen from oxygen. When the water within the pump is split, the hydrogen gas is stored in a small pouch. This fuel tank is placed in the car and it's off to the races.
Children run the car through a course set up on the floor of the Plex basketball courts. Wang's students time the racers and the top finisher gets to pick from a couple of solar-powered toys as prizes.
At a table, lamps are used to power toys that get their energy from solar panels. In addition to being pretty cool to look at, the devices offer Wang the chance to talk about how solar power and other clean energy solutions work. Wang says children – and adults – have great curiosity about the subjects. Most often, they've heard about solar power and hydrogen-powered engines, but they don't know the science behind the technologies that have advanced furthest in efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
"The kids ask a lot of questions and the adults ask a lot of questions too," said Wang. "That's exactly what we want to happen."
Wang hopes to spark an interest in science, just as he was inspired as a child by articles he read about advances in superconductivity. Having grown up on a farm in rural China with no electricity, he was fascinated by the early breakthroughs and the idea that new materials could conduct electricity with zero energy-draining resistance.
Finding sustainable solutions to global energy problems motivates his work.
"I enjoy the prosperity that development has offered us, but I do not like the prospect of what we have done to Mother Nature through this development," said Wang. "That is a key motivation to develop clean technology, which we can enjoy and which will not devastate our environment."
The message is one young Eagles fans are keen to understand.
"I like science, it's my favorite subject," said 12-year-old Angelina, who visited the clean energy display during a recent football game. "I don't really know what hydrogen is, but I know about solar power. It would be great not to use gasoline and use the sun instead."

Many stores cell wooden letter and number blocks. You can purchase a few number 1's and sixes, paint them the colors of your choice and write cute little quotes on the blocks. Place your blocks on an eye catching kind of material, much as a mirror or a doily, sprinkling flower petals and confetti around each. You can stick a simple candle in your centerpiece so that it's eye catching and everyone could read the quotes even when the room is dark.Styrofoam Handmade CenterpieceBuy a few white Styrofoam blocks, a couple packs of pipe cleaners of your color preference and a few types of fake flowers of your choice. All you really need to do for this sweet 16 centerpiece is paint the Styrofoam block the color of your choice. Using the pipe cleaners, conduct heart shapes using two pipe cleaners per heart, one for the stem, and the other for the heart shape. Stick your hearts in the Styrofoam block. With the fake flowers that you purchased, cut off pieces, and stick them in the Styrofoam blocks. This should turn out beautifully. You can also buy numbered birthday candles and glue the candle numbers 16 to each centerpiece using a glue gun. Sit you centerpieces on a doily and your ready for your sweet 16 party! Check out these

Nearly 15 Years After It Was Torn Down, Sioux Falls Filmmakers Are Bringing The Pomp Room Back To Life With a Concert And Documentary
March 13, 2000 was a dark day for Sioux Falls bands and music fans alike. It was the day the Pomp Room in downtown Sioux Falls was demolished to make way for a parking ramp. For years, the dark room with the squishy carpet had hosted the top local and regional bands plus some national acts like Cheap Trick in 1996, JazzFest 2014 headliners Gov't Mule played there back in 1997. The last time Tab Benoit played in Sioux Falls, he talked about playing the Pomp and having to kick beer bottles off the front of the stage so they had room to play. And of course on a now famous (thanks to MTV) day in June of 1993, Aerosmith dropped in after their show at the Sioux Falls Arena that night to play a four song surprise set: Mama Kin, Come Together, Love In An Elevator and Walk This Way.
Now, nearly 15 years after the final song was played, the final beer was spilled and the final bricks were cleared away, local filmmakers Austin Kaus and Jesse Yost are in the planning stages of making "The Pomp Room: The Documentary". They have been gathering mementos, old photos and videos and conducting interviews with the Ertz family who owned the Pomp Room, and will be throwing a Pomp Room reunion fundraiser concert at The District here in Sioux Falls on October 18th featuring four bands from the bar's heyday: the disco revival Glory Holes, The Cartwright Brothers, Jerkstore and Wakefield!
Tickets are available now through The District website for $18 in advance ($20 at the door). There will also be video booths at The District during the show for you to go in and share your Pomp Room memories to possibly be included in the documentary. You can also bring any video, photos, t-shirts, etc that are Pomp Room-related if you are able to loan them to the project.
This is going to be a show for the ages as band rehearsals from the three 'reunion' bands have already begun. If you loved going to the Pomp Room back in the day and want to relive some great memories while helping kickstart the documentary, get your tickets now for what promises to be a flood of memories October 18th at The District!

Physics Colloquium – III-Nitride Light-Emitting Diodes for Solid-State Lighting
Wednesday, March 14, 2013, 1:00 p.m.
Dolan E133, Physics Department
Prof. Hongping Zhao
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH 44106, USA
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies have significant importance for achieving sustainable energy systems in modern society. Lighting accounts for more than 22% of the total electrical energy usage in US, and technologies based on solid state lighting (SSL) utilizing semiconductor-based material has tremendous promise to replace the existing lighting devices. As compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps, SSL is more energy-efficient, reliable, and environmentally-friendly. Once widely used, SSL could lead to the decrease of worldwide electricity consumption for lighting by >50% and reduces total electricity consumption by >10%. The U.S. Department of Energy describes SSL as a pivotal emerging technology that promises to fundamentally alter lighting in the future. Rapid progress in SSL research and development has resulted in the advent of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for general lighting applications. Three major challenges for current state-of-art III-nitride based LEDs are 1) 'green gap' issue in InGaN quantum well light-emitting diodes, 2) 'efficiency droop' issue in III-nitride LEDs resulting in output power quenching at high current injection, and 3) limited light extraction efficiency in InGaN QWs LEDs.
In this talk, I will discuss our novel approaches to address the major issues related to state-of-the-art nitride LEDs, in particular related to 1) engineering of InGaN nanostructure active layers for achieving high internal quantum efficiency and minimal efficiency droop in nitride LEDs, 2) the use of surface plasmon approach for increasing the radiative efficiency in nitride LEDs, and 3) microdome structures for enhancing LED light extraction efficiency.
Short Biography for Prof. Hongping Zhao:
Dr. Hongping Zhao is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at Case Western Reserve University, since July 2011. She received her PhD in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University in Jan. 2011. She is a recipient of the Rossin Doctoral Fellowship and Sherman Fairchild Fellowship at Lehigh, as well as the 2008 and 2009 SPIE Educational Scholarship. Her research works encompass interdisciplinary areas of nanostructure, semiconductor devices, and energy-based device technology. Her research areas cover simulation, device physics, epitaxy, and fabrication of III-nitride semiconductor photonics and nanostructure devices for energy-efficiency and renewable energy technologies. Her research interests include novel III-nitride photonics and electronics devices for solid state lighting, laser diodes and solar cells. Dr. Zhao has published more than 35 refereed journal and 73 refereed conference papers. Dr. Zhao also serves as an editorial board member of the journal Optics.

Over a hundred runners crowded the streets around Fleet Feet for the store's first group run since the Boston marathon bombings.
"Pretty much after the tragedy last week, we wanted to do something as a store to help out," said store owner Jen McCauley.
McCauley and her husband, Michael, operate the Fleet Feet franchise in
West Augusta, and decided to dedicate this night's run to the victims
of the tragedy in Boston. Michael McCauley gave a pre-run inspirational
speech to the runners.
"I think under these circumstances and the fact that they caught these dudes, we're pretty triumphant," he said.
all the runners from every corner of the CSRA was Craig Cooper. He
finished last week's Boston Marathon, and was separated from his wife
throughout all the chaos following the explosion. They showed up to take
a stand.
"The fact the bomb really targeted the crowd,
more than the runners, really hurts," he said. "So for us to come support the local
event here, is just a sign of solidarity in the running community and
nationwide we're seeing that all over the place.
Fleet Feet stores across the country also sponsored runs tonight, raising money for a fund setup to support victims in Boston.
"All of us are gonna come together and get together as a Fleet Feet store and give it to the OneFund Boston," said Jen McCauley.
All the runners I talked with agree: they won't let an act of terrorism get in the way of their love and passion.

Coronation sword and scabbard of the Kings of France
- Also known as: "La Joyeuse", "Sword of Charlemagne"
- Dated: 10th-11th centuries (pommel), 12th century (cross-guards), 13th century (spindle) and 19th century
- Culture: French
- Found: Treasury of the Abbey of Saint-Denis, France
- Medium: Gold, steel, glass beads, gilt silver, cabochons, gemstones, embroidered velvet
- Measurements: H. 1.05 m; W. 0.22 m
The coronation sword of the Kings of France entered the collections of the Louvre following the French Revolution, together with the other ceremonial items previously held in the treasury of the abbey of Saint-Denis. With some of the ornaments on the pommel dating as far back as the tenth and eleventh centuries, this sword is one of the oldest surviving examples of French regalia.
- Regalia
Kept in the royal abbey of Saint-Denis, items of regalia were used during the coronation ceremonies of the Kings of France, which took place at Reims. In the first part of the celebration, the king received the insignia of knighthood, consisting of spurs and the sword. Throughout the rest of the ceremony, the sword was entrusted to the "Connétable", who held it with the blade pointing upwards. The treasury of Saint-Denis possessed several medieval swords, but of these only the one in the Louvre seems to be the celebrated "Joyeuse".
- "La Joyeuse"
The sword of Charlemagne is the only one known to have served as the coronation sword of the Kings of France. Dubbed "La Joyeuse", it was already celebrated in early medieval "chansons de geste." It is possible that it was first used for the coronation of Philippe Auguste in 1179, but it is first mentioned at the coronation of Philippe III the Bold in 1271.
- Different techniques, different periods
The sword is composed of a great variety of elements. Both sides of the pommel are decorated with a repoussé motif representing birds affrontee, similar to Scandinavian ornaments of the tenth and eleventh centuries. The two cross-guards, in the form of stylized winged dragon figures, can be dated to the twelfth century. The gold spindle, covered with a diamond net pattern, seems to be from the thirteenth or fourteenth century.
The scabbard, a long velvet sheath embroidered with fleur-de-lis, was added much later, for the coronation of Charles X in 1825. The oldest elements of this scabbard are, on the one hand, the large metal plate adorned with gemstones mounted on filigree bezels, characteristic of the second half of the thirteenth century, and, on the other hand, the buckle and buckle plate. Despite these extensive additions and alterations, the sword remains a valuable example of the magnificent regalia used for the coronation of the Kings of France.

Can you recommend a flash for my A55?
Started Nov 18, 2012 | Discussions thread
I used the Sony HVL-F43AM with my a55. It's certainly bright and powerful enough for everything I needed to do, such as bouncing off a wall or ceiling to light up a whole room.
In some ways it was annoying because it keeps turning itself back into Auto TTL mode every time the power goes into standby (delay of about 2 minutes), so you can't leave it permanently set in Manual mode. (Maybe that's a problem with all Sony flash units, and serious strobe photographers get something else.)

Pong uses real science, not gimmicks, to produce results.-- "Real" science. Not that fake stuff you buy at the store.
Pong's team of scientists includes Ph.Ds. in Plasma Physics, Photon Physics, Electronics Engineering, Cell Radiation Biology and Psychology.-- great. Who are they? Where are the papers they've published? Where are the papers of the studies done on this project? They have some nifty diagrams, sure, but where, exactly, is that "real" science they're so proud of?
patented technology-- what's the patent number? (I didn't look real hard, it may actually be there somewhere) Bare in mind getting a patent doesn't in any way guarantee that the thing actually works just that it's original enough to get a patent.
The above 3D plots were developed from actual tests conducted at CETECOM, an independent, FCC certified test facility.-- what were the tests? How were they designed? Was a paper produced? Was it published? And most importantly, were the results replicated? If no one else can replicate your results, your results are pretty useless.

General Aid Information
- What is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), and how can it affect my financial aid eligibility?
In order to receive the federal or state student financial aid (including the HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships) for which they are otherwise eligible, students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).
- How do I get UGA Financial Aid Information?
Please review Application Process for financial aid application information
For information regarding merit-based scholarships offered by the UGA Office of Undergraduate Admissions, please visit here
- How do I contact OSFA?
OSFA contact information is here.
- What is Selective Service and who must register?
Men ages 18 through 25 are required to register with the Selective Service System (SSS) to be eligible for Federal and State of Georgia financial aid funds. Any male students age 18 through 26 who have not yet registered with the SSS can do so when they complete the FAFSA or can register via the SSS Web site. Registration forms are also available at all local post offices.
- Where is info for Gwinnett students?
Please go here for more information.
- Where is international student info?
Please go here for more information.
- What is OSFA's fax number?
Please go here for more information.
- What are the residency requirements for obtaining in-state tuition rates?
See "Rules Governing the Classification of Students for Tuition Purposes" in the current University Bulletin.
- How can I receive Financial Aid for a Studies Abroad Program?
Financial aid recipients may study abroad through either UGA or with approved programs sponsored by other schools or private organizations. Students must meet the normal requirements for the types of aid they receive. Students studying abroad through other schools or organizations must also complete the Office of International Education's Credit Approval Form.
For both UGA and non-UGA study abroad programs, the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) can adjust the student's Cost of Attendance (COA) to reflect the additional costs of studying abroad. Sometimes this will qualify a student for a subsidized loan rather than unsubsidized, or qualify the student for additional loan money if the student's loans were originally limited by his/her COA.
Students should first contact OSFA to determine if including the additional costs would result in an increase in aid before submitting documentation of the expenses. To request an adjustment to their COA students need to complete the OSFA Study Abroad Expenses Request Form and provide the requested documentation. Please note that due to federal student aid program limits, the inclusion of Study Abroad expenses may not result in additional funds for the student.
- What happens to my financial aid if I withdraw from a class?
Students must successfully complete 67% of the courses in which they enroll to continue to receive student financial aid, including HOPE. For more information, please see Dropping Courses vs. Withdrawing under Additional Student Aid Policies.
Important Dates
- What are the important financial aid dates for the current Academic Year?
Please see deadlines.html.
- What is the application process and what does it mean to have it "complete"?
Please see Completion of the Financial Aid Process Defined under Application Process.
Application Procedures

Please see Application Process for the necessary steps to receive financial aid.
- How do I apply for federal aid/HOPE?
Please see Application Process.
- What are the federal guidelines to be considered an independent student for the purposes of filing for student financial aid?
For the 2012-13 FAFSA processing school year, a student is considered independent by meeting any of these criteria:
- if you were born before January 1, 1989,
- if you are married,
- if you are currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces for purposes other than training,
- if you are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces,
- if you are an emancipated minor as determined by a court in your state of legal residence,
- if you will be working on a master's or doctorate program at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year (such as an MA, MBA, MD, JD, PhD, EdD, or graduate certificate, etc),
- if you have children who will receive more than half of their support from you between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2013,
- if you have dependents (other than your children or spouse) who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2013,
- if when you were age 13 or older, both your parents were deceased, you were in foster care or you were a dependent/ward of the court,
- if you are in legal guardianship as determined by a court in your state of legal residence,
- if at any time on or after July 1, 2011, your high school or school district homeless liaison determined that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless,
- if at any time on or after July 1, 2011, the director of an emergency shelter program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development determined that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless,
- if at any time on or after July 1, 2011, the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program determined that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless.
If you have extenuating circumstances, you may contact our office and speak with a Professional Judgment counselor who will evaluate your situation.
- How long does the Professional Judgment (PJ) process take?
Completing the Professional Judgement review process depends on the speed with which the student provides all necessary documentation. Once all requested documentation has been received, the student's situation will be formally reviewed and a decision will generally be made within two weeks (depending on the complexity of the PJ appeal/information).
Students wishing information regarding their PJ review should contact a PJ counselor at OSFA. If the PJ approval necessitates changes to the student's FAFSA, it will take approximately 5 additional business days for us to receive the changed information from the Federal Processor.
- How will Independent and Distance Learning (IDL) courses affect my Financial Aid eligibility?
- To determine the impact on federal student aid, please see here.
- What is the UGA Federal School code?
The University of Georgia Federal School Code is 001598. This information will be needed by students completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- How do I view my Award?
Please go here for more information.
- When are Awards mailed?
NO paper Awards are mailed; all Award notifications are e-mailed. See myfa-al.html for more information on Award Notices. When final tuition data for the upcoming Academic Year is received and processed, official electronic Awards will be available.
- How do I accept or decline aid on my award?
Please see Awards on the Web
- How do I change my housing status on my Award?
Housing status that is incorrect on your Award should be corrected. Changing the housing status may have NO effect on your aid. You should speak with an OSFA Counselor to determine the effect.
You may request a housing status change by using your UGAMail to e-mail OSFA (firstname.lastname@example.com). The request for the housing status change should include your name, the last four digits of your SS#, correct address, and date of birth. Your housing status will then be corrected. This will not change your mailing address. You will have to do that in OASIS.
HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships
- How can I determine what portion of the total amount listed on my Student Account will be covered by a HOPE award?
When accessing your student account page online, you will see a total charge for tuition, fees and other charges. Some have incorrectly assumed that their HOPE award is applied to this figure. But of this total amount, your HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship will address only the tuition portion. From the student account screen, you may access further detail about your total amount due. This will provide you with the tuition figure that is addressed by your HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship.
- How can I be sure I am looking at the right total charges and payments?
There are a couple of ways you can view your charges and payments. The first is the Quick View, where you can view the current account status and the e-bill. You can also choose the e-bill tab at the top of the page, which will take you to the most recent e-bill (statement) and also provide the current balance above the statement. It also has a link, which is highlighted in a different color, which shows account activity since your last statement. You may have to view both the bill and the current activity to see the full amount of tuition and fees, depending upon the timing of your registration, the receipt of the financial aid award by our office, and posting it to the Student Account. For example, if you registered for some hours in July and others in August, some will show up on the statement and the additional hours on the current activity. They would have to be added together to get the total.
- I am in a program that has a specialized (or differential) tuition rate. Why doesn't the Zell Miller Scholarship cover this differential tuition?
Under the new state legislation, the Zell Miller Scholarship pays 100% of this year's standard tuition (or the standard Guaranteed Tuition Program rate if the student is still eligible for the Guaranteed Tuition Program). It does not cover higher rates than standard tuition, such as those charged by specialized programs.
- Do the HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships cover any charges other than the prescribed portion of tuition?
Neither the HOPE nor the Zell Miller Scholarship programs covers fees, books or other charges beyond the prescribed portion of standard tuition.
- Where can I find more detail about my HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship?
A more complete description of the HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships may be found here. This link is also part of your awards on OASIS.
- What is the book allowance for HOPE?
There is no HOPE Scholarship book allowance after summer 2011.
- What is HOPE/Zell Miller Paid-Hour limit?
In addition to the Attempted-Hour limit, there is now the Paid-Hour limit. All hours for which students received payment from Accel through Spring semester 2011 (Accel pays for college classes taken while enrolled in high school), HOPE Grant (Summer 2003 forward), and HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship programs are included in calculating the total Combined Paid hours.
Effective Fall 2011, students are eligible for a maximum combined payment for 127 semester hours. If a student reaches the Attempted-Hours limit before reaching Combined Paid-Hours limit, he or she is ineligible to receive further HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship payment.
- Is my HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship GPA and attempted hours the same as my UGA Cumulative or Overall GPA and attempted hours?
Not necessarily. See the UGA HOPE Scholarship Website.
- Are
my transfer credit hours counted as attempted credits even if I never
previously received the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship?
Yes. ALL credit hours attempted in college following high school graduation are counted and do apply toward the 127 attempted credit hour limit whether or not you received the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship while attempting these credits. This includes all remedial courses (attempted prior to Fall 2011), transfer courses, and courses that do not transfer into a degree program at UGA.
- What does the HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarships consider as attempted credit hours?
HOPE and Zell Miller credit hours are not necessarily the same as the credit hours reflected on OASIS. All credit hours attempted at the college level are counted for HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarship purposes, including those assigned "W", "WP" or "WF" grades, those attempted at other institutions (including Out-of-State institutions) whether or not the credit hours transfer to UGA. Prior to Fall 2011, hours paid for by the student, and Developmental Study hours, including English as a Second Language (if the student has been fully admitted as an undergraduate student) count as attempted hours for HOPE Scholarship purposes.
If a student graduates high school as a HOPE or Zell Miller Scholar, then any degree credit hours attempted by the student prior to high school graduation, or equivalent, are not counted as Attempted hours.
- Does the HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarship Programs count my attempted or earned credit hours?
All attempted credit hours (except remedial effective Fall 2011) are counted when determining eligibility. Please check with our office for correct attempted hours. OASIS may include other hours.
- When does UGA recheck my HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship Eligibility and what is a "benchmark"?
OSFA is required to verify your HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship eligibility at the end of the semesters in which you attempt your 30th, 60th, and 90th credit hours. These checkpoints are referred to as benchmarks. For the HOPE Scholarship, you must have at least a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) each time you reach a benchmark; otherwise your HOPE Scholarship will be canceled for future terms. For the Zell Miller Scholarship, you must have at least a 3.3 grade point average (GPA) each time you reach a benchmark; otherwise your Zell Miller Scholarship will be canceled for future terms. However, if you have at least a 3.0 GPA, you will qualify for the HOPE Scholarship.
If you lose the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship at 30 or 60 attempted hours, you can regain the scholarship if you meet eligibility requirements at the next benchmark. You can only lose and regain HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship eligibility one time beginning Fall 2011. If you do not have a 3.0 GPA at the 90 credit hour benchmark, you can never regain HOPE Scholarship eligibility.
In addition to the 30, 60, 90 attempted hour benchmarks, there is also an End-of-Spring Semester Checkpoint for all HOPE and Zell Miller Scholarship recipients. For continued HOPE Scholarship eligibility, you must have either a cumulative 3.0 GPA at the end of each Spring term and for continued Zell Miller Scholarship eligibility you must have a 3.3 GPA, except for Freshman recipients who enrolled less than 12 hours for each of their first three terms.
- Is the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship available for Graduate Study?
Generally, no. Students enrolled in graduate coursework who are still finishing their first undergraduate degree may continue to receive HOPE/Zell funds at the standard undergraduate rate as long as all other eligibility requirements are met. Eligibility ceases at 127 attempted/earned hours or once the student earns their degree, whichever comes first.
- How much does the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship pay toward my tuition?
See the UGA HOPE Scholarship Web page or the Zell Miller Scholarship Web page.
- Will the HOPE Scholarship pay for Transient Study?
If you are enrolled in fewer than 15 hours at UGA during the same semester you are also attending another eligible school, you can receive additional HOPE Scholarship funds, not to exeed the HOPE award amount payable at UGA for 15 hours.
If you are a UGA student enrolling in classes at another HOPE eligible school please complete our electronic HOPE Transient Form and transmit to OSFA. We recommend you print a copy for your records. Remember to keep track of the dates by which your academic transcripts must be received by UGA Undergraduate Admissions. Failure to comply with these deadlines will result in a cancellation/repayment request of HOPE funds.
- Must I complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to receive the HOPE Scholarship?
No. Students who wish to apply for the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarships only may do so by completing the GSFApps application on the GACollege 411 Web page.
- Must I enroll full-time at UGA to receive the HOPE Scholarship?
No. The HOPE Scholarship at public colleges and universities has no minimum enrollment requirement.
- Will the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship assist with Study Abroad and National Student Exchange (NSE) courses?
Generally, Yes. The HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship award amount will be based on the number of total hours enrolled during the semester, not to exceed 15 hours.
- Must I reapply for the HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship every year?
Students who apply for HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarships using the GSFApps State Programs Application at http://www.gacollege411.org need to apply only once every seven years. Students who apply using the FAFSA must complete a new FAFSA each year.

- Can I return my loan funds if I decide I don't want or need them anymore?
Yes.

- Can I defer payments on a Federal Parent PLUS loan?
For Direct PLUS Loans that were first disbursed on or after July 1, 2008, parent borrowers have the option of deferring repayment if the dependent student on whose behalf the PLUS Loan was obtained is enrolled on at least a half-time basis, and during the 6-month period after the student ceases to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis.
Parent borrowers must call the Direct Loan Servicing Center at 800-848-0979 to request a deferment based on the dependent student's enrollment status.
- What is the difference between a subsidized loan and an unsubsidized loan?
There are two types of Federal Direct Student Loans:
- The Federal Direct Subsidized Loan
- For a subsidized loan, the U.S. Department of Education pays the interest on the loan amount while you are in school at least half time.
- The amount of subsidized loan offered depends on your financial need (determined by your FAFSA results), your grade level and other aid you receive.
- The Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan
- For an unsubsidized loan, you are responsible for the interest from the time the loan is disbursed until it's paid in full. You can pay the interest as you go along or allow the interest to accrue.
- The amount of Unsubsidized Loan depends on your grade level and when added to your other aid cannot exceed your Cost of Attendance (COA).

Not happy with the available fonts? Why not design your own? Try these 7 free tools.
People make fun of Comic Sans, but I use it all the time. It is one of the preferred fonts for dyslexics.
I did not know that a redeeming quality of this abused font is that it has been found to make reading easier for dyslexics. That's kind of cool.
A review of several dyslexia-friendly fonts (Sassoon, Myriad Pro, Tiresias, Lexia Readable, Read Regular, Verdana, Trebuchet MS): http://dyslexiauntied.blogspot.com/2010/07/fonts-and-dyslexia.html
Fonts and Dyslexia
Whatever materials you are creating, it is good to consider whether they are going to be accessible to as broad an audience as possible.
Many dyslexic and non-dyslexic people find that the readability of a piece of text varies greatly depending upon the font (type face or type style) used.
Serif fonts, with their 'ticks' and 'tails' at the end of most strokes (as found in traditional print fonts such as Georgia or Times New Roman), tend to obscure the shapes of letters, so sans-serif fonts are generally preferred.
Many dyslexic people also find it easier to read a font that looks similar to hand writing as they are familiar with this style, and some teachers prefer them. However these types of fonts can lead to confusion with some letter combinations, such as "oa" and "oo"; "rn" and "m".
The size of the ascenders and descenders of letters (the 'stems' on letters like p and b) is also important as many dyslexic readers rely on recalling the visual shape of a word due to poor phonological awareness.
If ascenders and descenders are too short the shape of the word is more difficult to identify and can make reading slower and less accurate.
Read Regular - Font
Recently Natascha Frensch, a graphic designer at the Royal College of Art, has designed a font (Read Regular) specifically for dyslexic readers, taking into account the issues discussed above.
There are examples of Read Regular on her web site at www.readregular.com and the children's publisher Chrysalis is now using it for two-thirds of the 150 children's titles it brings out every year.Lexia Readable
Has also been designed specifically for dyslexia and is actually available. You can download it from www.k-type.com/ free for individual use. It has developed quite a bit over the last few months, although it still has some minor irregularities.
It tries to avoid some possible dyslexic confusions (eg b-d) by using different shapes, and is broadly based on Comic Sans.
This font has been designed for people with Visual Impairment. Originally produced for subtitles and signs there is now a screen version Tiresias PC font. Tiresias is now free to download. It is good for legibility, but doesn't address the issue of dyslexic confusions.
The font Sassoon, is often recommended for dyslexia, but was actually designed to assist children in early reading. Also, it is quite expensive and can be bought through Adrian Williams Design and elsewhere on the web.
Letter shapes are similar to those that schools use to teach handwriting, and ascenders and descenders are exaggerated to emphasise word shapes.
Myriad Pro
Myriad pro was designed by Adobe and it has a clean sans serif aesthetic making it suitable for people with dyslexia.
Web based Fonts
Write Friendly Text
To test your sensitivity to these fonts, choose one from the ones suggetsed, print out some text in 12 points and check them out for yourself. You can also ask your friends and family about their choices and preferences.
Apart from the font selection, think carefully about colour and printing on colored paper. There are a number of good and bad combinations that you should be aware of.
Read Regular is a typeface specifically designed for people with dyslexia.

Is New York Achieving More Reliable and Just Convictions when the Admissibility of a Suggestive Pretrial Identification is at Issue?
In People v. Delamota, the New York Court of Appeals held a pretrial photo array was unduly suggestive and therefore in violation of the defendant's due process rights. The court held that the photo array was suggestive because the civilian interpreter used during the identification knew the defendant prior to the pretrial photo array and influenced the victim's identification.Read More →

The defendant, Vernon B., was charged with one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.

Are There Still Collateral Consequences in New York After Padilla?
In Padilla v. Kentucky, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the failure of a criminal defense attorney to properly advise a defendant of the immigration consequences of a guilty plea was a violation of the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Significantly, the Supreme Court stated: "We . . . have never applied a distinction between direct and collateral consequences to define the scope of constitutionally 'reasonable professional assistance.'

Prearraignment Lineup Procedures: Are Multiple Lineups Unduly Suggestive or Sufficiently Reliable?
Pretrial identification procedures are critical stages of the criminal prosecution process. In some cases, a defendant's guilt or innocence may rest entirely on an eyewitness's identification. Therefore, it is imperative that criminal defendants are afforded constitutional safeguards, such as the right to counsel and due process of law—to ensure that identification procedures are conducted fairly.

Defendant David Plunkett has a history of mental illness and is a carrier of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). During a visit to his primary care physician, he was found by police openly possessing marijuana and acting strangely in the waiting room. This behavior prompted the police to arrest Plunkett. Plunkett resisted the arrest and bit the police officer on the finger. As a result, Plunkett was charged and convicted of aggravated assault upon a police officer. Three elements must be satisfied to sustain a conviction for aggravated assault under New York Penal Law § 120.11. A prima facie case requires: (1) "intent to cause serious physical injury", (2) "to a person whom he knows or reasonably should reasonably know to be a police officer or a peace officer engaged in the course of performing his official duties", and (3) an injury caused by means of a "deadly weapon or dangerous instrument."Read More →
A Criminal Quartet: The Supreme Court's Resolution of Four Critical Issues in the Criminal Justice System
The most recent Supreme Court term was one in which the Court tackled several of the most critical issues that arise in our criminal justice system. Perhaps most importantly, as the 50th Anniversary of the Court's decision in Gideon v. Wainwright approached, the Court addressed the problems presented by counsel who had not provided the effective assistance of counsel during the plea bargaining process. Whereas it was common knowledge that the vast majority of cases in the criminal courts of this country are resolved by plea bargaining, the Court had never required that court-appointed counsel provide competent advice when recommending rejection of a plea offer by the prosecution. It had not even been constitutionally required that counsel communicate to his client the existence of an offer that entailed a reduced sentence were the defendant to plead guilty. The Court also addressed the matter of what action by counsel would constitute abandonment of the client in the post-conviction phase of a case where the client had received the death penalty. And, finally, the Court considered what had remained an unresolved issue: was it constitutional to impose a sentence of life without parole for a juvenile who had been convicted of murder.Read More →
The Military Trial at Rennes
The Dreyfus affair, known throughout France simply as "the affair" ("l'affaire"), caused the downfall of multiple Ministers of War, of an administration, and led France to the brink of civil war, as well as to a failed coup d'état. The military trial at Rennes, namely Dreyfus's second military trial, which will be the central focus of this essay, was a culminating point of l'affaire.Read More →
Silencing the Victims in Child Sexual Abuse Prosecutions
Child sexual abuse prosecutions present challenging evidentiary and constitutional issues. Oftentimes, there is no physical evidence of the abuse. Children will frequently recant their allegations, since the vast majority of these crimes are committed by a parent, other relative, or by a friend of the family.Read More →
The Decline of the Confrontation Clause in New York
The First Department in Encarnacion made two highly controversial holdings on issues that did not need to be decided. First, the court's holding continues the decline of what amounts to clear and convincing in New York. Second, the court's holding now seems to be in contradiction with the Supreme Court's decision in Bullcoming.Read More →

Feeling Waspish Today?
By Susie Ekberg
Staff Writer
Q: So, I am currently watching a wasp that is trapped between my screen and window pane, frantically trying to get back outside and I think this is how it must be for our spirit guides; they can see our path to freedom if only we would look in a certain direction. However, I am also toying with the idea of killing it because I find wasps to be bothersome.
A: Hah! Due to your refreshing viewpoint, this will be one of the most fun columns I have ever written. Thank you for that. Your question has two distinct thoughts: are we acting as the wasps act, caught between the glass and screen, and is your desire to kill the wasp reflecting your desire to get the symbolically trapped creature out of your field of consciousness?
Or could it be a little of both? Let's walk down the path of inquiring enlightenment for a while, shall we?
We are the wasps, caught between the two glasses of the different worlds, feeling confined, maybe sensing worlds beyond the cold, solid invisibleness, but unable to do anything about our current limited situation. How in the world do we, as wasps, free ourselves from our prisons?
No matter the level of our awareness, we ALL are able to sense something beyond what we can perceive with our five senses.
We meet someone and feel the hairs on the back our neck stand up, we meet someone else and we want to be near them for no discernible reason. People come to mind, then call us within five minutes.
What we call reality is only a drop in the bucket compared to all that is out there. Like the trapped wasp, your reality is that tiny space between the panes. What a pain.
Dreams are one way we experience life outside of the window; for when we dream we are larger than our conscious minds, free to travel through the different planes of existence, and we use more of our brains, which is actually the spiritual crank that will open our windows for us, if we can learn to work with them, rather than let them run US.
Our brains are powerful thoroughbred horses. They are untrained, and it can be very dangerous to try to ride them, because they are unpredictable and may run away with us holding desperately to their manes to keep from falling off and hurting ourselves.
But if we work with them, make friends with them, get to know them and trust them, and let them get the chance to trust us, then it becomes a matter of teamwork and cooperation. Trained minds, like trained thoroughbreds, can carry us to many wonderful places.
One way to work with our minds is through meditation and creative visualization. Meditation is usually done in silence, and gives us the chance just to BE with ourselves.
Creative visualization is usually accomplished by someone leading us through a series of meditations or mental scenarios in which we learn more about ourselves.
We are NOT our minds – we are separate from our minds, and they don't control us. Believing that may be just the crack we need to slip through to the big outdoors. Try some of the above suggestions and see if they don't make some sense to you.
With regard to the second part of your question, our spirit guides do indeed have a broader picture of our paths, so it would behoove us to get to know them better, and that would help us feel less frustrated with ourselves, less like wanting to kill off that helpless and clueless part of ourselves.
In the mid 1980s, when When I first became interested in this work while sitting beside the lake writing, I asked a simple question: is anybody there? I wasn't really expecting anyone to answer, yet I felt a presence as I began answering my own question. I felt expanded, excited, as if a light were coming on in my life, allowing me to see a little further out into the darkness. I liked it. A lot.
From time to time over the years I've forgotten that I've got that connection, and those are the times that I've gotten so frustrated I wanted to scream. I'm sure some of those times I actually did scream. Understandable. But unnecessary. Really.
The reason we get so frustrated is that there's a part of us that knows better. That more enlightened part of us knows we can get help, knows we can get encouragement and support if we only open ourselves to it, trust it, believe it, and work with it.
In the beginning it can be kind of like, "I'm sure I'm just making all this stuff up," so it can be difficult to trust the new feelings, the new awareness. But keep at it.
Your spirit guides, Higher Self, God, angels, ascended masters, whatever you call all of those who are a part of your Team, who love you and support you and are with you this time around, are ALWAYS WITH YOU.
You tell me, "I ask them for help. I call to them but I can't hear them." So I suggest asking for a sign so you'll know they're there for you, and that they're real.
The first time I suggested this to a client, I decided to try it for myself. I didn't really need physical verification because I trust they're there, but I thought it would be a fun exercise. I couldn't wait – I was sure it would be some super-cool and exotic thing that would happen to me.
I asked, then waited. And felt a huge hand on my right leg. Yup. That was it. Super, wasn't it? So don't be surprised if you notice something subtle like a particular smell, or a noise in the wall, or a feeling come over you, to signal the presence of your Helpers.
Once you have made the connection, that could/should lessen your anxiety and frustration with anything that may occur in your 'regular' life.
If I have a problem, the first thing I do is what I call "take it up to the higher level" and see it from that broader perspective. Things are never as they appear down here, and I always get some valuable advice and information on how to proceed and understand my current situation.
You see? I am not a wasp; in truth, I never was. Neither are you. You may feel waspish from time to time, but all you need to remember is that if you feel trapped, you, unlike the wasp, have the power to open the window and free yourself.
There's a big, beautiful world out there, and there's no need to remain where you are if it's not where you want to be. The sky's the limit, so fly. It's who you really are, and what you were born to do.

This was pretty good, although my husband liked it more than I did. I followed the recipe and served it for brunch with sourdough toast. Good, but not fall-down-dead good. Husband REALLY liked it, though. Might make it again sometime.
Artichoke, Leek, and Fontina Frittata
Think of a frittata as an omelet made effortless: no fussing or folding here. Just stir the ingredients together, pour into a skillet, briefly cook on the stove, and finish in the oven to create a crisp, golden top. Our cheesy version is studded with a savory blend of artichokes, leeks, and crisp bacon. You can also make it vegetarian by leaving the meat out altogether. Don't feel like shopping? Improvise with what you have on hand. Frittatas are a great solution for using up all those leftover vegetables at the end of the week. Good-bye wasted produce, hello dinner. Prep and Cook Time: 40 minutes. Notes: Cooktop temperatures and ovens can vary greatly, so it is always important to follow our visual cues, especially when cooking eggs.

- 3. Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add leeks and sauté in reserved bacon drippings until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add egg mixture and stir to combine. Cook 1 minute, then gently stir in 1/2 cup fontina and the parmesan. Cook without stirring until edges of frittata are set and the center is still a bit soft, about 2 minutes (edges should appear firm when pan is gently shaken; the top layer should appear wet).
- 4. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup fontina over top and transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake until eggs are fully set and the top is light golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. If top has not browned, broil frittata about 5 in. from heating element, keeping oven door ajar, until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
- 5. Slice frittata into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

The Government Shutdown leaves hundreds of thousands of people out of work until Congress can agree on a spending bill. Many of those federal employees work right here in South Jersey.
"Everything is cut down right now. We have just been watching the news." Dustin Abarca wasn't sure what was going to happen when he showed up to work at the FAA Technical Center on Tuesday morning. But when he was called into an employee meeting, he knew it was not going to be another 9:00 to 5:00 day.
"We lost half of the staff so far. We are trying to do as much as we can with the staff we have right now." Due to the Government Shutdown Abarca, is currently furloughed, along with many of his coworkers.
In a statement, the FAA says that safety research, airport research and development work will continue, citing that safety is the top priority. However work on the NextGen program has stopped.
The Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway is also closed to all visitors until the shutdown is over.
"It's very disappointing. We packed a picnic, and brought binoculars. We were hoping to sight see, and see some birds," said Forsythe visitor, Susan Kelley.
In a statement, the refuge says that only limited functions needed to protect human life and property will continue.
At this time essential government workers are continuing their daily work routines. For example postal and social security workers.
Until the shutdown comes to an end, those looking for change, like Ocean City resident and folk singer John Willcox, will continue to spread their message in hopes of a quick decision.
The last time the Federal Government shutdown was in 1995, which was also the longest shutdown, lasting a total of 21 days. At this time it is unclear how long this one will last.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Lead Hill High School Reviews
Our school has worked extremely hard this year on bringing students who are behind in their studies up to grade level work and I have noticed an improvement in the students self esteem through this effort.
"This school has absolutely changed my life! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."
"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"

Ben Roethlisberger helped the Pittsburgh Steelers do something they hadn't been able to do since Terry Bradshaw was playing quarterback, win Super Bowls. Big Ben has led the Steelers to three Super Bowls and win two, but that isn't enough for Roethlisberger.
"I want to pass Terry Bradshaw by getting more Super Bowl wins. That's our expectations in Pittsburgh," Roethlisberger said, via Steelers PR man Burt Lauten.
That also would give him more rings than Joe Montana, and any quarterback in NFL history.
"There is no other franchise I would rather play for than the Pittsburgh Steelers," he said.
Roethlisberger was in London to promote the NFL when he made the comments. I don't know that the London audience understood how audacious those comments were. Or how 'full of himself' they seem.
Roethlisberger is 31 years old and his opportunity to catch Bradshaw is dwindling in the loaded AFC. He'd have to overcome Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos as well as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
But I'd rather have a quarterback not content with winning 2 Super Bowls than one riding out the end of his NFL career thinking about the Hall of Fame.

Isn't it important to speak about what causes or propiciates cancer?
People and specialists mainly speak about finding a cure for cancer (or cancers because there are many different ones). There seem to be alot of efforts to find cures and hopefuly it will happen. But is that enough? I think that while the fight is being done on one front, another front isn't given the due attention. Pollution, societies organized in a way that stresses constantly individuals, lives in concrete boxes and so on. I am not sure whether cancer is caused by pollution and low quality of pesticide and hormone filled food, but I am totaly sure that these propiciate cancer and other serious ilnesses and make it easier for it to survive. Why nobody pays real attention to the relationship between pollution (water, air, etc.) and cancer? Is it that people prefer to drive their petrol fed cars and remain into a self induced ignorance about the consequences of their behaviours? Isn't it worth seriously reducing or ending pollution for the sake of peoples and animals health?

Jun 26 2013: This website reckons that cancer is caused by a lack of vitamin B17 in the same way that scurvy was caused by a lack of vitamin C. They make a compelling case, citing a long history of battling the disease & the authorities. The pharmaceutical industry makes billions from cancer 'cures', but, as B17 is a natural product, there is little profit in it.
Interesting for conspiracy theorists & cancer sufferers alike. Personally, taking daily b17 is a cheap insurance.
