By Score Atlanta
Class AAAAAA
Archer 37, Mountain View 0: Visiting Archer sealed raced to a 27-0 lead at the half and was paced by quarterback Gabe Tiller. The senior tossed touchdown passes to Kyle Davis, K.J. Palmer and Blake Woods in the first half.
Berkmar 9, Duluth 3: Visiting Berkmar scored the game's only touchdown in the first quarter on Rashad Hall's 8-yard rushing touchdown. Duluth added a field goal to close the quarter, but went scoreless the rest of the game. Berkmar forced a Wildcat safety in the fourth quarter.
Collins Hill 22, Central Gwinnett 0: Visiting Collins Hill took an 8-0 lead into halftime after a 10-yard rushing touchdown by Tyler Henderson and his subsequent 2-point conversion. Henderson added a 50-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter and Rhyan England made it 22-0 after a 60-yard touchdown run.
East Coweta 49, Henry County 8: Weylin Orr tallied three first-half touchdowns for host East Coweta. Alex Branch, Malik Robinson and freshman Carlos Ford added first-half scores and the Indians led 42-0 at the half. Weylin's brother Elishua's touchdown capped the scoring at 49-8.
Marietta 63, Pope 13: Tyrell Tomlin and T.J. Bulock returned interceptions for touchdowns in the opening half, giving host Marietta a 42-7 lead at the break. With a running clock in the third quarter, Kadeem Wallington increased the advantage to 56-7 with Marietta's third interception return for a touchdown.
Rockdale County 20, Salem 0: Quarterback Zuri Minnifield provided more than enough offense for host Rockdale County. Minnifield threw for a touchdown pass and rushed for another. The Rockdale defense also intercepted three Salem passes.
Shiloh 48, Meadowcreek 7: Charles Shavers ran for a school-record 247 yards and five scores as the host Generals won their home opener. Shavers had 196 in the first half and four scores as Shiloh led 41-0 at the half.
South Forsyth 21, Northview 17: Nathan Phillips scored two rushing touchdowns (on carries of 12 and 50 yards) for Northview, but the scores were not enough to hold off visiting South Forsyth. Quarterback D.J. Pearson of Northview completed 25-for-36 passes for 311 yards, but no touchdowns.

I know this is hard to believe but the AJC makes a mistake about a game or story and it gets posted then someone says woo thats wrong! AJC catches it several hours later but you have posted about it. Now your post(s) look stupid since AJC has corrected it.
Probably the case here another person is confused about the readers posts. The AJC now has the correct story up but leaves your posts up. Makes for some confusion here I know because it happened to me before I caught the mistake, posted, then hours later AJC catches it and made me look like I was crazy writing what I did.

@Johnny Too Good == Yeah. I heard Trevino Huff went off. A couple touchdowns and about 250 in total offense. DHHS can make the playoffs this year. That would be great for their program as they try to re-establish themselves.

Camden74 – Good buddy we still can't really tell how good we are. Maybe we'll know enough to have an idea where we stand after Burke County in two weeks. Coach Pruitt's main objective since he has been at Coffee is to instill confidence into young men that have always 'expected' to lose when playing a Camden or Lowndes or Colquitt or Valdosta. He's starting to get the message through. Especially as the older classes have graduated. Our strength and conditioning program and facilities are having an impact. The "Development Program" has resulted in Coffee starting 3 ninth graders and a slew of sophomores this year. Like coach. The players expect to win every game during the regular season and take the #1 seed into the play-offs. So…. I guess the answer to your question is yes. So let's play some football.
September 1st, 2013

@Camden74, I think so. I would like to see Coffee win the region, but right now Coffee just needs to take it one game at a time.

Norcross High Head Coach States the following:
Ridwan Issahaku was moved from quarterback to corner and Malcolm Galloway is at the other corner.
#"These guys are as good or better than the two corners we had," Maloof said.
Explains alot to me because he never probably really cared for my son
The next 9 games will determine if those kids are better than 2 of the best corners to ever step foot on Norcross campus. To keep it fair he(Maloof) has to protect the corners he's got because it's the weak link and that comment was made prior to BTW game. Akins/Simp would have competed not saying they would have stopped BTW but final score of 55-0 is not happening with those at corner.
But then again I'm a dad so maybe I'm just thinking like a dad not a coach…….lol

CoffeeC100, CoffeeTrojan#44……How good is Ware County? This is you guys year to step up, there's no dominate team in R1, 6A this season. Better take advantage while you can……..
September 2nd, 2013
7:26 am
Camden74 – Ain't that the truth. We'll just take then one at a time.
The Whitewater/Ware question is a tough one.
Whitewater had a harder time adjusting to the Coffee spread. They were caught out of position several times.Ware not so much. I watched the Ware County video of the game over on the 6A vent. The announcers compared the Coffee Pistol to Gainsville 4 or 5 times. You may enjoy watching it.
The Whitewater starters are indeed better than Ware but they have no depth. And you can't defense the spread without relieving your starters now and then. Ware's rushing defense was better but not much. Whitewater's pass defense was better but not much. Overall IMO Whitewater is the better team but again not by much.
Both Ware and Whitewater were exhausted by the 3rd quarter. Coffee is deep on both sides of the ball and pretty much changed out the entire O and D lines in the third and fourth quarters. Whitewater nor Ware's lines could stand up to that. Neither team adjusted well at halftime.
Coffee has two weeks to prepare for Burke County and their Mr. Everything Green. The general consensus is that Green must not be allowed to break the linebacker plane. Of course that opens up the receivers crossing between the safeties and Linebackers. So we'll just see who out-coaches whom
Good. luck next week. Let's play some ball
September 2nd, 2013
7:38 am
Forgot to mention their offenses. Whitewater is HUGE but they don't blow big holes. and they tire easily. Ware is quick as usual and has a strong, hard hitting tailback. Ware held their blocks longer and looked more comfortable on the field. I give the edge to Ware. Overall both teams appear to be improved over last year. I fully expect them to win out their regions the remainder of the year,
September 2nd, 2013
7:51 am
@Coffee100 – Excellent rundown of the Whitewater and Ware teams. I am surprised Ware was not more effective on defense. They played us real tough in our scrimmage game, but that was just scrimmage. The way you guys handled them has gotten the attention of the rest of us in Region 1.
September 2nd, 2013

North Gwinnett seems to be the real deal….strong at every position…….still a long way to December though….good sports

HEY sportsnut. I'll be around to help sing the paises of our beloved wilcats. Good win over Mundy's Mill. They actually may have a decent team this year. I can't make it to Moultrie this year. but that is probably be the only game I miss unless my sister makes me go see her daughter in the Griffin Bear band, lol. Our Cats have a real shot this year but this week will be hard with Colquitt coming of a loss at Hoover and we were never really tested Friday night. Gonna be an interesting next couple weeks.Go Wildcats and beat Colquitt.

Rob Ford ticketed for jaywalking in Van
Rob Ford has travelled to Vancouver but controversy has followed the embattled Toronto mayor.
Media reports say Ford was ticketed for jaywalking Friday night.
The Toronto Sun quoted Ford as saying he was walking across the street near his hotel when an officer told him he had crossed on a red light and had jaywalked and was being ticketed for $109.
RCMP would not immediately comment to The Canadian Press about the reports, but Global News quoted a witness who said he saw the mayor ticketed. A spokesman for Ford could not immediately be reached for comment.
Ford is reportedly in Vancouver for the funeral of a friend's mother.
The Global News report said sources claimed the mayor was ticketed for public intoxication as well as jaywalking, but the Sun quoted the mayor as saying this was not the case and that all he had was a cola.
Ford appeared unhappy with the turn of events, telling the Sun he was shocked and that "they went out of their way to do this."
Still, a ticket for jaywalking would seem to be the least of Ford's troubles.
Toward the end of last year as Ford became a punchline for relentless gags by late night comics, his embarrassing behaviour finally prompted city councillors to strip him of most of his mayoral powers.

Good things come in smaller packages.
At least, that was the conclusion from this MSN Auto article about the 2011 top 10 cheapest cars to maintain. According to the article, "Labor costs and the cost of replacement parts for small cars are usually cheaper."
Topping the list is the Honda Fit, with a total five-year service cost of $2,937, although the Toyota Corolla is right behind at $2,991.
But the more important question is, do maintenance costs actually factor into your decision to buy a new car? What about a used car?
How much do you currently spend on auto maintenance per year?
– By Lauren Davidson, Atlanta Bargain Hunter
May 31st, 2012
3:54 pm
I have a 2003 Honda Accord. I have just reached the 100.000 miles this past year. The cost for the rfegular work that is done at this point in the mileage that is currently on was about $490. During the course of the year with just normal service, I am spending about $140.00 annually. During the almost 9 years. I have bought three sets of tires., So with the figures I have given you, you can add it up. Have been very happy with this car, and hope to drive it another 300.000 miles.
May 31st, 2012

Maintenance sure does factor in. We sold a Mini Cooper which had cost us over $6,000 in its fourth year of ownership (brakes all round, service, engine harness and engine block for corroded valve). We replaced it with a Honda Fit which we have owned for 3 2/3 years, and admittedly driven only 31,000 miles. Total scheduled maintenance so far (three services, roughly every 10,000 miles) has been a total of $560. We are also averaging about 34.5 mpg, which also was a factor in selecting the Fit. So far, so good. Very good.

Hedge Fund Registration: Drilling Down to the Cost
Voices, May 19, 2010
Registration of hedge fund advisers is a virtual certainty under current financial reform proposals. So key questions for fund advisers are: How much will it cost me? And what will be the impact on systems, operations and technology?
Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG), a provider of consulting services to financial and professional services firms, drilled down into the issue.
The result is an analysis by GLG's Legal, Economic & Regulatory Affairs Council that summarizes the types of costs, including system-related and operational expenses, for hedge fund advisers that are required to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the proposed Dodd financial reform bill.
Here's what GLG says will need to be covered, as well as related considerations. The council "does not attempt to assign numbers at this point," it says.
1. Operational cost of preparing the registration form: Do it yourself? Outsource to a law firm or consultant? The costs of preparing the form, called Form ADV by the Securities and Exchange Commission, depend on degree of complexity of the fund group. And the complexity does not necessarily relate to assets under management. The more complex the fund group, the more areas there are to provide information about. In addition, there are ongoing costs in this category related to the updating and annual amendments to these forms, as well as distribution costs.
2. Cost of hiring a Chief Compliance Officer: Add a new person to your payroll? Outsource the role? Assign it to someone within the organization as an "extra" duty? These are the choices, and costs vary accordingly. And of course, this is an ongoing expense.
3. Operational cost of preparing and implementing a compliance program: This will be a big ticket item. First there's the cost of actually writing a compliance manual. Again, do it yourself? Outsource to a consultant or law firm? Then, there's the cost of implementing the program, which is the real heart of the matter. This is a cost that is not so easily quantifiable. How much time will it take? How many people? What would they have been doing if they weren't doing this?
4. Cost to systems and operations of record-keeping and reporting data to the government: The Dodd bill contains requirements to report additional data to the SEC (or other designated agency). Costs here are associated with time spent to generate that data, as well as costs of reporting the results (on EDGAR, etc). There are details here that are being left to be determined by the SEC, so it is early to be able to fill in the blanks in this category. Record-keeping in advisers that are currently unregistered will typically need to be improved, probably resulting in incremental costs to create the information systems needed for the reporting as well as the time expended to set up the systems, collect the data and oversee the reporting.
5. Costs associated with exams by the SEC: These can range from extensive on-site in-depth reviews, to a couple of hours work for the CCO to prepare a written response. Costs in this category vary accordingly.
6. Cost associated with changes in information technology used and the companies used to supply services: Some hedge fund advisers may find that they have to switch custodians or other vendors in order to comply with the requirements of the law. Expect lots more expense in this category if that becomes necessary.
7. Costs associated with lost investors: The Dodd bill calls for the possible implementation of a higher net worth standard for eligible investors, obviously narrowing the universe of possible investors.
8. Costs of state registration: The Dodd bill raises the possibility that advisers that aren't federally registered with the SEC will instead be required to register with their state. State regulations vary, but many roughly follow federal registration, so we can assume for sake of discussion that costs are same as above.
The total tab for an individual hedge fund adviser? GLG says that number is going to vary widely: "Each adviser would have to assess their costs in each category, and add it up for their personal total."
The industry-wide total?
Not calculable.
"This depends on knowing a number that no one really has a handle on at this point: the number of advisers that are currently not registered that will need to be. Perhaps we will only know this number after the fact, as hedge funds are coaxed out of unregulated territory,'' GLG says.

"Think success, don't think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, I'll win, not I'll probably lose. When you compete with someone else, think, I'm equal to the best, not I'm out-classed. When opportunity appears, think I can do it, never I can't. Let the master thought I-will-succeed dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure."

In the face of seemingly insormountable danger, the power of the human spirit to survive shines through, giving the individual the presence of mind to find ways of getting out of harm's way
Truck driver Randy Pierce found that out the hard way after he managed - barely - to escape the burning truck he was driving after he got into an accident when the truck he was driving, which was carrying about 20 tons of frozen chicken, got cut off by a dump truck before the trailer crashed, slicing open the fuel tank in the process.
With a split open tank, it didn't take long for the truck to be engulfed in flames, which, naturally, made things worse for Pierce. If the fire wasn't enough to deal with, Pierce also had to worry about getting out of the truck's cab, which was perilously dangling from the side of the bridge.
Fortunately, the driver still had his wits about him despite a pretty devastating crash. Pierce managed to get safely back to hard surface after climbing out of the passenger side of the burning truck before finding safety in the form of the bridge.
In times like this, you have to wonder how these people can think clearly given the cards that they're dealt with. Fortunately for Randy Pierce, he was calm enough to work his way out of his predicament.

Sports Health
Finger sprains are injuries to the ligaments or any of the three joints of the fingers. Commonly referred to as "jammed" fingers, sprains are usually caused by "jamming" the finger into an opponent or being hit on the tip of the finger by the ball. Fingers are also injured by being bent back (hyperextended) by the ball. Athletes often overlook finger sprains because it is "just a finger". However, finger injuries can be very painful and can lead to chronic ailments if not treated promptly. Although finger sprains may not be serious, there are several other types of finger injuries that can occur in basketball. Some of these are more serious and require much more extensive care. If symptoms persist and seem more severe than those described below, the athlete should see a physician immediately. If the joint is dislocated (out of place), do not attempt to put it back in place. Splint the joint as it is and refer immediately to a physician for evaluation.

The Texas Rangers selecting paralyzed UGA outfielder Johnathan Taylor in the 33rd round of Wednesday's MLB Draft because "he deserved the honor of being drafted" was one of the feel-good stories of the summer (go here for full story).
The Rangers were universally praised for what UGA coach David Perno termed as a "classy move."
However, Texas wasn't the only organization thinking about honoring Taylor in the draft, according to a report by MLB.com's Louie Horvath:
There seems to have been some competition between Major League teams to draft Taylor, but the Rangers sent out a special request to make sure they could team him with his close friend, [UGA outfielder Zach Cone, drafted in the first round by Texas].
"There were rumblings about other teams that were going to do it, and I guess Texas stepped in and kind of put the word out that they felt it was the right thing for them to do considering they got Zach," Perno said. "It was really special."

SURRY, Va. (AP) -- A woman accused of mistreating animals at Michael Vick's former dogfighting headquarters is due in court in Surry County.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that Tamira Thayne's trial on misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty and inadequate care of animals is set for Tuesday in General District Court.
Thayne is the director of Dogs Deserve Better, a dog-rescue group housed in Vick's former home. She was charged in August after an inspection of the facility by a Surry Animal Control officer and a state veterinarian. Officials said they had received complaints that 10 dogs were not receiving adequate care.
Thayne has denied any wrongdoing.
Vick, a quarterback with the Philadelphia Eagles, served 18 months in federal prison after pleading guilty in 2007 to charges related to a dogfighting operation at the house.

Strong Storm Strikes Minnesota
August 19, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
BEMIDJI, Minn., Aug. 19 (UPI) — A thunderstorm packing powerful winds toppled trees, utility poles and utility lines, and flooded roadways in Minnesota early Friday, officials said.
The storm hit between 1 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. In Bemidji and areas to the east, the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office said.
Falling trees struck several unoccupied cars, downed power lines became tangled in trees and utility crews were working to restore power, The Bemidji Pioneer reported.
"Motorists are urged to use extreme caution when navigating roadways during the morning commute as isolated flash flooding of roadways has been reported," the Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
Elsewhere, Weather.com reported, severe storms were possible later Friday in the Western plains and in eastern Wyoming and Colorado.
Meanwhile, a tropical wave in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean could become a hurricane that could hit the southeastern United States, Accuweather.com reported.
The wave, about halfway between western Africa and the Lesser Antilles, is now a weak tropical system but computer models show it could strengthen into a hurricane that could make U.S. landfall late next week.
That could be prevented by a large mass of African dust, along with stable air and mountainous terrain on Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, Accuweather said.

See it in action...
We love it with...
Madison is rated out of 5 by 27.
Rated 1 out of 5 by AngiD from Not pink at all! This came in the bombshell starter box, and I was excited for pink. I put this on, and it was Orange! I made pumpkins out of the color... So not happy with it!
Date published: 2013-09-17
Rated 2 out of 5 by Manda from Chipped Really Easily :( I got this polish with my starter box and I love the color. However, the product chipped literally the next day. Usually my nail polishes last about a week before chipping. Even with a top coat half of my polish was gone on my thumb by noon the next day. And all I do is work at a pharmacy :/ I can only imagine what would happen if I worked a more intensive job.
Date published: 2013-08-16
Rated 2 out of 5 by Corey from Great Color, Kind of Strange Formula I got Madison with my first Bombshell box. First I need to say that the color of the bottle online doesn't accurately represent the actual polish color. In the bottle and on nails it's definitely more of a neon coral (which I love!), and depending on the light it can look more orange. After three coats I still had VNL, but it didn't bother me too terribly much. The polish dried to a sort of velvet finish. Because my nails are a little short to coat my edges I did have edge wear the next day, so definitely use a nice shiny top coat. The formula is a little weird to me though; when I was doing clean up I had a lot of difficulty getting excess polish off. It kind of felt slick if you know what I mean. Removing the polish completely was also a little difficult, and it left my nails pretty orange even though I used a strengthener and a base coat. Overall, the color is great but I may use a coat of white polish underneath to achieve full opacity next time and definitely coat the edges of my nails.
Date published: 2013-10-02
Rated 4 out of 5 by BreJade127 from Sheer, but Pops One coat is truly not enough with this one. Even with two coats it's still very sheer, but bright. The color online is very misleading, but I'm not disappointed with it in the least. It makes a great summer color.
Date published: 2013-10-10
Rated 3 out of 5 by Hallie from Amazing for the right people I got this for Christmas. If I would have realized this one was so transparent I would have never wanted it. The first nails I did I started out very disappointed I wanted something solid not clear. After about 3 coats I was satisfied with the coverage but I could have done 4. It was very glossy and kinda reminded me of gummy bears, that is when I started to like it. I have had time to play around with it and I found that painted over white it makes the perfect flamingo color. Alone,It has an orange-pink hue that gets more orange as you do more layers. For people that like to play around with their nails this would be an interesting color to have but it doesn't last as long as some other Julep polishes. This is defiantly not a color I would buy at full price but if it goes on sale I might get it again just because it is a fun color to play with.

From SxSW to WxNW
Back in San Francisco, that is, after visiting Austin for SXSW Interactive.
The best part, for me, was talking with people — on panels and off — who are pushing the bounds of technology to do more for us, its users and public, rather than treating us like mere consumers. Eli Pariser and Zack Exley got it, and have made MoveOn.org into a site that empowers its users as citizens. Jonathan Abrams talked, by contrast, about constraining users into his vision of what Friendster should do.
I'm sorry to have missed the Magnatune/Creative Commons party, but the EFF, EFF-Austin, Creative Commons, Magnatune party was a good preview.

" One thing I am certain of, I do not want to be betrayed, but that's quite hard to say, casually, at the beginning of a relationship. It's not a word people use very often, which confuses me, because there are different kinds of infidelity, but betrayal is betrayal wherever you find it. By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, and then being on somebody else's. "

Applying for Financial Assistance
How Financial Need is Determined
Special Circumstances Review of Student Contribution
Financial Aid Eligibility and Satisfactory Academic Progress
Application Procedures
Step 1: File the FAFSA or renewal FAFSA
All financial aid applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or renewal FAFSA. This form may be completed online or mailed to the processor on or after January 1. Before filing refer to complete 2012-13 FAFSA information .
Prior FAFSA filers are sent a Personal Identification Number (PIN) by the Department of Education to the address listed on their prior-year FAFSA. Students may also request a PIN via the Internet.
A PIN is required to complete the renewal FAFSA online. Otherwise, the filer may complete a regular FAFSA online or submit a paper FAFSA.
Students are encouraged to file the FAFSA on the Web instead of paper. This free online service provided through the Department of Education dramatically speeds the processing of your FAFSA. The federal processor has developed a FAFSA on the Web Pre-Application Worksheet which they highly recommend that web filers complete before filing the FAFSA on the Web.
Students must reapply for financial aid each year. The 2012-13 priority application deadline for continuing students is March 2, 2012. To be considered for university grant funding in addition to federal aid, you must file your FAFSA between January 1 and March 2. Early applicants receive priority consideration (but are not automatically eligible) for grant funding. New students are encouraged to apply by the priority deadline, but will not be penalized due to admission decisions.
Include the UC Davis School Code: 001313 on the FAFSA.
Step 2: Receive your Student Aid Report (SAR)
About three to four weeks after submitting the FAFSA, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor (either electronically or by mail).
Read the SAR carefully. If all the information is accurate and UC Davis is included in the school list section, your may keep the SAR for your records.
If UC Davis is not listed, the Financial Aid Office will not receive the student's application information. Follow the SAR instructions for submitting a school change or addition.
If reported data is incorrect or failed any of the database matches, follow the instructions to correct or resolve the issue. The most common sources or data mismatches are citizenship, selective service, name, and birth date.
Step 3: Submit required documentation to the Financial Aid Office
After submitting the FAFSA, additional documents may be required. Typical documents include, but are not limited to:
Tax forms
Verification forms
Social security or citizenship documentation
Selective Service status documents
Entering Veterinary Medicine students applying for need-based financial aid will be required to submit a copy of their 2011 Income Tax Return to validate information provided on the FAFSA. Please do not submit this information until a formal request is received. When you receive a notice of additional or missing information from the Financial Aid Office through your MyAwards, please comply as soon as possible. A delay in submitting requested documentation may delay your financial aid processing and awarding.
Step 4: Award Notification via MyAwards
When your application is complete and reviewed, your financial aid awards will be available online at MyAwards: http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/MyAwards/. The MyAwards includes your student expense budget and a breakdown of your financial aid eligibility. You are able to view and accept your financial aid online, including loans and loan documents.
How Financial Need is Determined
Financial need is determined by using a simple formula:
|RESOURCES (applicant's income and assets)
|NEED (applicant's eligibility for funding sources)
The cost of attendance is determined according to your year in the veterinary program.
The calculation of resources is based on current assets and base-year income (e.g., 2011 calendar year for the 2011-12 academic year) that was reported on the FAFSA, resulting in an Expected Family Contribution.
Types of Aid
There is a variety of sources of educational funding available to students in the School of Veterinary Medicine. All students are encouraged to file a FAFSA to be evaluated for all funding options. Students may receive a combination of grant, scholarship and loan based on eligibility that does not exceed their cost of attendance. In 2011-12, approximately 16% of a financial aid recipient's cost of attendance was funded with university grants, and the remainder was funded with personal resources, federal and alternative student loans, and applicable scholarships.
Grants and Scholarships
A grant is need-based gift aid that does not have to be repaid. Both UC Davis and the School of Veterinary Medicine administer grants to eligible students. For grant consideration, veterinary students must submit the FAFSA by the March 2 priority deadline (exception: entering students are not penalized for missing this deadline due to admission decisions).
School of Veterinary Medicine Scholarships
The School of Veterinary Medicine annually administers over 650 scholarships amounting to $1.7 million. These scholarships are provided through the generosity of individual, association and corporate donors; and the University itself. The School's endowed scholarship fund exceeds $36 million. Some scholarships are based solely on academic criteria; others are based on academic and financial criteria.
A few scholarships are offered to students upon admission to the School. The Admissions Committee selects the recipients, and there is no separate application for these scholarships.
Continuing students apply online for scholarships each fall, and recipients are announced at the School's annual awards ceremony in May.
Students interested in fellowship funding for summer research projects are directed to the Student Training in Advanced Research (STAR) Program.
Outside Scholarships
There is a variety of ways to obtain scholarship information on your own:
Check scholarship reference books at libraries for potential scholarship sources.
Check organizations with ties to your interests, career goals, geographic area, etc.
Current veterinary students should watch for miscellaneous scholarship announcements from the Student Programs Office via e-mail announcements.
Various scholarship free search services are available on the Internet. FinAid! SmartStudent Guide to Financial Aid offers tips and links for searching scholarship databases.
Loan Programs (effective academic year 2012-13)
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan: A fixed interest rate of 6.8%. The fixed interest rate starts accruing immediately upon disbursement; principal and interest payments start six months after graduation or withdrawal from school. Each year students may receive a maximum of $20,500 plus an increased amount between $20,000 (first through third year VM students) and $26,667 (fourth year VM students) for Health Professions programs.

Annual maximum borrowing limit is the difference between the Academic Year Student Expense Budget and other financial aid, not to exceed above stated limits.
Graduate Plus Loan: May be available to students enrolled in a graduate or professional program. Grad Plus borrowers may borrow up to the cost of attendance for the period of enrollment, minus other estimated financial assistance received for the period of enrollment.

Alternative Loan: Unsecured, credit-based loan that may require a co-signer. Eligibility is based on borrower's credit worthiness. Variable interest starts accruing immediately upon disbursement; payments of principal and interest may be deferred while in school and during a six-month grace period after graduation. Interest rate: interest rates change continuously. Check current rates at: http://financialaiducdavis.edu/graduate/Types/Loans.html.
For further information, refer to Loan Information, which includes information about online Entrance Loan Counseling.
Short Term Loans

oh my
It has been too long! a new baby brings a new beginning, and lots of nursing - more time to write! to catch up, I've spent the last year plus writing songs mainly, and performing at C&Ps, a coffeeshop in West Seattle. In Feb. 2012 I did a 12 min. max show at On the Boards; and in May 2012, Flora McGill and I, aka the heartrocks, played at Folklife. It has been a little too quiet musically, so I've rented a rehearsal space to join the other noise-makers and be loud. When I go, it is awesome. Soooo, must go more, play more, perform more, yes. And I do sing all day with my 2, now 3, daughters - so that counts, right? and teaching piano lessons is music-making too, so life is full of music always, and I intend to do more intentional music-making of my own!

A problem has been discovered with the CSE SR-100 self-contained self-rescuer (SCSR) in which some units may not provide sufficient oxygen when the starter oxygen cylinder is activated. It is important for all miners to know what to do if the oxygen on their SCSR, regardless of model, fails to activate.
SCSRs are miners' first line of defense to protect themselves from a contaminated mine atmosphere or low oxygen in the event of a mine fire, explosion, or gas inundation. However, if the SCSR fails to activate, the miner must decide the next course of action. In that event, NIOSH and MSHA believe the best option is to obtain another SCSR.
While there is a backup procedure to address this potential failure on chemical oxygen units, the manufacturer's Manual Start procedure, (a.k.a. the Cold Start procedure), it is more difficult to activate and it may take more time for the SCSR to generate sufficient oxygen to allow for a rapid escape.If another SCSR is not available, the manufacturer's Manual Start procedure must be followed explicitly.
What mine operators should do immediately:
Provide a brief training session as soon as possible
Operators should provide miners with additional supplemental training to ensure that miners know what to do should their SCSR fail to activate. All miners should have ready access to a spare SCSR in case the first one they try to activate fails. Therefore, the following points should be taught:
- If for any reason the oxygen on an SCSR fails to activate, miners should immediately set aside the unit and don another apparatus, if one is available. Only when no replacement unit is available should the Manual Start procedure be used with chemical oxygen units. The manufacturer's instructions for Manual Start must be used and followed explicitly.
- In any emergency, it is likely that miners may experience emotional and physical signs of stress, which is normal. They include rapid heart rate, dry mouth, fear, anxiety, feeling confused and/or overwhelmed, disorientation, and nausea. It is important to teach miners that these symptoms are not necessarily an indication of a failure in the unit.
Provide additional SCSRs
There should be sufficient numbers of SCSRs on working sections to provide extras should the oxygen fail to activate on a particular unit. However, outby workers, especially those who work alone, are sometimes known to have only one apparatus available - the one on their belt. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that mine operators make extra SCSRs readily available for outby workers should their initial units fail to activate.
For more information about this issue with CSE SR-100 SCSRs, see the Mine Safety and Health Administration home page.

When is it okay to ask someone out?
June 13, 2010
Great with online dating, not so much in the real world. How can I better recognize when it's okay to ask someone out?
I know the question is incredibly broad, but this is something that I've been wondering about for a while. While I currently manage to maintain a reasonably active dating life, virtually every time I've met the girl in question online. These never go past 1-2 dates, usually due to a lack of physical chemistry (although a few have been due to other issues, the lack of in-person attraction is the most common).
I've been doing a lot of introspection and believe that the very nature of online dating may be my biggest enemy. Jumping straight into dating a perfect stranger just doesn't seem to do it for me. I believe it might be possible to find someone who is right for me this way, but I honestly don't find the "weeding out" process very fun or exciting - despite attempts to make the dates more fun, there's just too much pressure and too much to measure up against.
Those few successes that I
had dating-wise have been from meeting someone initially in an unrelated environment once or twice (maybe through a group activity or going out with mutual friends), talking with them a bit, we click, and somehow that leads to dating.
The thing is, I've only had that happen to me twice in the past few years: the first time, I asked her out purely for the hell of it figuring she would say no; the second time, the girl was the one who asked
out. Both times we clicked incredibly well and only called it off for reasons beyond our control.
So, my question is how can I increase the frequency of these sort of dates without looking creepy or desperate? By this, I guess I mean when is the appropriate time to ask out a girl I've only recently met, say through a mutual activity? I'm afraid that too soon makes me look like a creep, too late and she might lose interest. As of now, it feels like I have no idea when it's acceptable, short of having a girl flat out tell me "maybe we can get a drink/coffee/etc sometime" or something equally obvious. I can sometimes recognize things like flirting and other indirect cues, but am horrible at interpreting them - for example, I can't tell the difference between "I'm just having fun" flirting and "I'm doing this because I like you" flirting with intention.
Again, I know this is a rather broad question, but any suggestions/advice/etc are welcome...

It is not okay to ask someone out if she is married, engaged, or a member of your immediate family. Otherwise, it's okay to ask someone out any time you think you might want to get to know her better for the purposes of dating. The worst that can happen is that she'll say no. But if you haven't otherwise been acting creepy (in which case she already thinks you're a creep), she's not going to think you're a creep because you asked for her phone number or offered to take her to a movie some time. Even if she says no, if you ask her in a respectful manner, it'll be okay.

If you've had a conversation with enough depth to have any idea what activities she enjoys, you may ask her to enjoy a specific event or activity with you. At a specific time.
'Coffee or drinks sometime' does not feel like a date. 'bird watching this Saturday afternoon/join me for hiking with the local outdoor club/come check out this great sushi bar on friday night' is more likely to feel like a date to me.
Of course, I am one woman, so this is anecdata, but if you invite me to Denny's, a tv marathon at your house, or anything else that I'm not interested in, I'll be disappointed because if I want you to ask me on a date, I will have dropped some hints about good ideas. If talking to me gives you no idea what you might invite me to do, I'm either not interested or you aren't listening.
If it's the latter, you have some shot at guessing an activity that will get me to say yes. But if I'm interested and you suggest something that I don't do (like, 'let's go smoke a blunt!') you will turn me off pretty quickly.
Um. I guess the take away here is, do the best you can with the information you have. Sometimes you'll get a nibble, and sometimes you'll be off the mark. But if you never ask, I (and many other women) won't say yes.

Immediately. "I really enjoyed meeting you at Bird Watching. If you're not seeing anyone, I wondered if you'd be interested in getting a cup of coffee."
That leaves plenty of out for the person if she is not interested, and is not creepy.

Right away! Not creepy at all, as long as you're not asking every single girl out that you meet. The times I've had a guy forthrightly ask me out on a date-date (as opposed to a more cautious approach) after just having met him in a social setting I've been really flattered and excited, even if it didn't work out at all. In fact, the mere act of asking in a confident way made them more attractive to me, even if I hadn't considered them at all at first.
Also, it's my impression anyway that as online dating becomes a universal, people are starting to ask people out offline more quickly too -- there's less investment in a first date in every setting. So ask away, grasshopper!

Are you hesitant because you're worried that you'll come off as a creep or because you're worried she'll reject you? If it's more the latter, the only answer is to ask, ask, ask and you'll get over it.

Yes, immediately! If you've made a connection with this girl, go for it. Now, I wouldn't ask a lady out if you didn't have a conversation with her first, but even a "HEY, WE BOTH LOVE... I don't know... fine: BIRD WATCHING!" is enough to ask her out. Do it man.

A frustrating thing for many women is when men seem interested in us, but WE can't figure out if they are or not because they say all sorts of generalized things and then never act on them. "If you're not seeing anyone, would you like to go bird watching some time?" isn't generalized, because you do have to get the whole 'are you attached' thing out of the way first.
I often tell young gentlemen that Mr. M. got the girl because he was decisive, unlike every guy who acted interested, but required me to parse meaning of gestures and vague sentences, and never actually took action.
I also like the "get a cup of coffee" suggestion over something that requires more involvement because it's low-risk. If you hit it off, you can say, "I had a great time, woudl you like to meet for dinner/movie/birdwatching next weekend?" and if you didn't, you can say, "Thanks, I enjoyed the evening, see you soon" and move on with things.

When I was single, I never online dated but I did attend events that were geared toward singles, which fell into two specific categories: (1) things that were geared specifically for singles. For example, I joined a single volunteer group where I met my husband and I went to a dinner that was meant for single young professionals. (2) things that weren't meant specifically for singles but were likely to have a lot of single men attending (I joined an outdoor hiking group). The great thing about the "singles" events is that you know that everyone there is single and looking, so it's sort of expected that you would ask someone out. I also found that when I attended these types of events I would meet people who would then invite me to other events, and so that gave me an opportunity to meet even more people. I think the thing about meeting in person is that you can exclude a lot of people real quickly. For example, I met my husband at a dinner and I knew when I walked in the room that I was interested in him and then within five minutes of talking to him I knew we'd get along. With online dating, I think you have to waste a lot of time dating people you are not interested in. So I would try and see if you can find something in your area like single volunteering, or speed dating, or something like that where you will meet a lot of single women in person.

Thanks for the answers so far everyone! Regarding my original question, I was curious mainly about asking out someone you meet in the context of a group event not specifically geared towards singles. For example, I'm active in a couple of photography-related groups locally and recently joined a hiking/climbing group. Since I've had such good luck with these sort of groups in the past, I'd really like to try meeting someone in this context - but I'm never sure when or how is the best approach in that venue.
The best I can usually come up with is "say, are you free (tomorrow/next weekend/some other specific day)? I'd love to talk more about (common subject), maybe we can get (dinner/coffee/etc)?" or some variant thereof. I know it's not asking out on an actual "date", but it seems to me that I'm obviously showing interest yet leaving an easy out if she's not interested. To me, the approach DarlingBri and a couple of others seem to suggest of asking "are you seeing someone? If not, let's go out" right away to someone I might have just met seems to me like it's coming on a bit strong. Doesn't it seem like it's better to spend some more exclusive one-on-one time with them first, see if you continue to click, then move on towards something more like dating?

The disadvantage to what you're proposing is that it makes it tough for a woman who's not interested (or not single) to respond. I absolutely hate responding to something like that with, "Sure, I'd love to talk more, but just so that you know, I have a boyfriend." It feels really presumptuous, because maybe the guy is just being friendly. So (assuming I'm not interested in dating the person) I'm put in a spot where I either have to say, "Sure, that sounds like fun!" and risk leading the person on, or "No, thanks" (and risk being rude and/or losing out on a friendly activity).*
I recommend something like "I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date sometime" or "I was hoping I could take you out to dinner this Friday" or something that makes it very clear. It's not at all creepy, and if she says no, you can make it 100% not creepy by not pressing the issue, not seeming crushed, and continuing to be friendly.
Good luck!
* (Actually, I suppose I could say: "Yes, and let's also invite Sue!")

@cider - I know you have a point. I don't know why exactly, but using the word "date" with this sort of proposition makes me uncomfortable for some reason. I guess it sounds okay, but in my head it sounds like I'm overdoing it and should dial it back a shade. I guess part of this is just a result of my overall lack of experience with dating and just about everything related - I sometimes wish I could just skip the initial part of this, considering how stressful it seems to be...

Try this: "I'd love/like to see you again" coupled with an invitation for something specific. That way you avoid the clunky term "date" but you leave no question about what you're asking. The key is to convey that you specifically want to see her again, rather than making it sound like you really want to go birdwatching or whatever. If you say "say, are you free (tomorrow/next weekend/some other specific day)? I'd love to talk more about (common subject), maybe we can get (dinner/coffee/etc)?" then it's kind of ambiguous.

Look, if what you're saying is that you'd like a way to spend a bit of time one on one with someone to see if you like them
asking them on a date, then I think you're splitting hairs on the definition of a date but sure, let's go with that.
"Hey, I enjoyed meeting you at bird watching. Would you like to grab a cup of coffee next week?" is fine.
Assuming that goes well and there is no mention of a boyfriend or girlfriend, you can move on to "Coffee was fun, thanks. Can I interest you in dinner on Friday?" which is clearly date-territory.
Job done.

Let's talk about Dogs in the pros.
A lot of UGA fans follow Bulldog players' NFL careers closely and no doubt will be tuning in to the Pro Bowl this weekend, where Champ Bailey of the Broncos will be representing UGA. (Jon Stinchcomb of the Saints also would be in the game but he's on a Super Bowl team.)
The list of other Bulldogs who've been selected for the Pro Bowl in the past includes, among others, such names as Broncos Super Bowl MVP and noted Chunky soup fan Terrell Davis, Rodney Hampton, Garrison Hearst, Len Hauss, Jimmy Orr, Mo Lewis, Guy McIntyre, Richard Seymour, Charley Trippi and Bobby Walston. And I'd long forgotten this, but in his very brief pro career with the Falcons, kicker Bobby Etter actually made the 1970 Pro Bowl.
(That also brings to mind probably the most unlikely Bulldog to grace an NFL roster: Ray Jeffords, who was a basketball player for the Dogs that the Falcons decided to draft as a tight end in 1968 for

I first discovered my talent for photography after shooting at a sports camp for a couple of years in High School. However, my love for photography didn't hit until I was in college.
Armed with only a point and shoot, I couldn't help but try to capture the beautiful campus around me. I took full advantage of the macro feature on my little camera and found myself capturing what most people walk by on their everyday commute to class.
My sophomore year of college I started to work as a photographer for my college paper. My Junior year, not only did I work as the Photo Editor for the paper, but I also won five photography awards.
My Senior year, I went on to be the Online Editor, where I still played a roll as a photographer. That year I won two more photography awards, an award in cartooning, and another in web design.
My time shooting photos in college exposed me to numerous forms and styles of photographic content. It also helped fuel my desire to further pursue this medium.
In order to graduate I had to do a thesis/capstone project. I was a double major (Electronic Arts and Music), so I saw it fitting to find a large project that could tie my two areas of study together. I decided to jump headfirst into the Electronic Dance Music scene in the NW. Armed with my first DSLR, I was able to not only research the social and historical aspects of the genre and analyze the music, but to capture the vivid movement and life around me.
Since then, I have been building my photography gear collection and indefinitely expanding my portfolio in a plethora of genres. I am aware that focusing on too many areas can be a bad thing, or may limit the quality of the work…but I was able to excel in college with two majors, a minor, three jobs, a social life, and a love life (I got married a month after I graduated). I suppose, I will eventually find my strongest feature, but for now I am still having fun coloring outside the lines.

Best vacation ever.
Absolutely beautiful home and perfect vacation! My husband and I stayed with 3 other couples. We had plenty of privacy, each bedroom was beautiful with an in-room bathroom, but we could all enjoy coffee by the pool each morning with amazing views. The most beautiful beaches were just a short drive away. We LOVED Blanchard's Beach Shack- delicious food, great beach chairs, perfect water. We walked down to the Viceroy (where we considered staying when we chose Anguilla) and are so glad we stayed at Nirvana! Their beach was so crowded, every chair was taken. We were a half mile down the beach and the only ones there for the first 2 hours (arrived at 9am). I was nervous booking a house online, but I am telling you, you will not be disappointed. This place is paradise and immaculate. The kitchen was fully stocked if you wanted to make meals in, but we just did breakfast there and had lunch/dinner out. Anguilla restaurants were great and we followed a lot of Paul's recommendations. Speaking of Paul...He couldn't be nicer and helped us plan our entire trip down to the last detail. We arrived to a home cooked meal, waters, wine, and a giant fruit platter. Totally unexpected but much appreciated. The housekeeper was lovely as well. We cannot say enough good things about this place! Go! You won't be disappointed. My only complaint is that we didn't stay long enough! We can't wait to go back!
Absolutely Spectacular!
We have just returned from a vacation an Moonraker that rates as the "trip of a lifetime." Four families (10 kids, 8 adults), 10 glorious days, and memories to last forever. As we planned this trip (for nearly a year) it became a joke amongst our group that everything sounded too good to be true. Paul and Linda were so helpful and generous. The staff of Island Dream was kind and responsive. The pictures were to die for. The plans fell together beautifully. We started to fear that when we showed up someone would say "just kidding" and we'd be left with a shack on the side of the road! Needless to say, that was not the case! Moonraker lived up to—even exceeded—every expectation. The house was every bit as beautiful as the photos. The view was beyond words. We estimated that we looked out on 220 degrees of ocean! The pool and patio area was something out of a 5-star resort. The service was impeccable. Danielle and Georgia were the most gracious hostesses! They even went so far as to call ahead to various beach locations to tell them we were coming... so chairs and umbrellas would be waiting for us on arrival! Each suite in the house was more beautiful than the next. Each beach on the island was more beautiful than the next. Each meal we ate was better than the last. (And we ended with a home-cooked dinner by Chef Tyrone, so that should tell you how he rates!) We had 18 people and never once felt a lack of space. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need (and several things we never figured out how to use!) The whole-house music system helped set the mood whether we wanted to have a dance party on the deck, a cannonball contest in the pool, or quietly star-gaze from the loungers while sipping rum punch. The kids enjoyed a number of evenings (after long days of swimming & snorkeling) watching videos in the movie room, or up in the game room playing chess! The adults could pick a different spot to read a book every day! Each day we ventured to a new secluded beach (even the most popular ones were secluded by our standards). The drives were anywhere from 10-25 minutes. Sometimes on main roads, sometimes on dirt roads! Supplies were easily acquired at the local Best Buy (grocery store) and Tropical Distributors (liquor store)—both five minutes down the road. Fishing, shelling and crabbing were just a few steps away. And the sunshine was abundant. We are counting the minutes until our return. Until then, we'll bask in the memories!
Everything was great. Kristen and Kelly were outstanding as usual.
