Following is the balance of Friday's column that didn't make print:
The Canyon Runner Offshore Seminar at Atlantic City Convention Center last Saturday drew a record crowd of about 450 anglers to an excellent presentation of many offshore techniques plus rigging of both lures and baits. Those who missed that seminar have another opportunity coming up Feb. 26 at the Huntington Hilton on Long Island. The 48-foot Canyon Runner is chartering out of Pirate's Cove Marina in Manteo, N.C. from March 12 to May 2 for the great winter bluefin tuna run that last year produced an average of 10 to 15 a day in the 100-to-300-pound class along with a total of six giants. The large schoolies are regularly found on the surface, and can be caught on jigging or casting gear. There are some days when individual spots can be booked for $275. For information on the seminar or tuna fishing, contact Adam La Rosa at 732 272-4445, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Atlantic City Boat Show opened Wednesday at the Convention Center, and continues through Sunday . Reef Rescue is represented at the JCAA booth with information about the renewed effort to pass legislation that will eliminate pots from artificial reefs built with federal sportfishing funds along with contributions from anglers and divers.
Cod are the attraction for anglers this weekend. Capt. Howard Bogan Jr. reported a successful long range trip from Brielle to Block Island on Saturday as both bait and jigs produced. Tom Morris of West Creek bagged 21 up to 15 pounds. The Jamaica has a northeast wrecks trip scheduled for 11 p.m. tomorrow. The fare is $155, and reservations can be made by calling 732 528-5014.
Capt. Joe Bogan of Jamaica II at Brielle said Sunday's 12-hour trip produced more cod than Saturday's 14-hour run. Bernard Jones of East Orange caught 10 cod to 14 pounds plus five ling. Brian Crenshaw of Philadelphia bagged eight cod to 12 pounds and 12 ling. John Weaver from South Philadelphia had six cod up to a 27-pounder.
Capt. Bobby Bogan of the Gamble from Point Pleasant said there were only short shots of cod action during Saturday's trip to 40-mile wrecks, but Sunday produced a good pick of cod and ling for 3 ½ hours. He's fishing wrecks 50 to 75 miles offshore today, and will then decide whether to continue sailing this winter.
Some additional Florida fishing recommendations:
Capt. Chris Johnson is a N.J. native who runs his SeaSquared Charters (305 743-5305) out of Marathon. Pat Donnelly of Point Pleasant had a great cobia trip with him on the Gulf wrecks.
Capt. Jeff Pfister (305 457-5903) specializes in night fishing for tarpon from Key Largo, working the tides for the few hours of prime action. He also casts jigs on light tackle in the Florida Bay shallows during the day for sea trout and snook.
Capt. Charlie Fornabio gained his expertise in the Belmar area and by surfcasting all along the Shore before becoming a guide in the Sebastian area. He catches everything from redfish and spotted sea trout to tarpon with light tackle. Call him at 772 388-9773.
Capt. Steve Horowitz (954 923-8990)in Miami can put you into bonefish and permit on the Biscayne Bay flats, plus tarpon and a variety of light tackle "fun" and eating fish such as snappers, sea trout and pompano.

One shouldn't overstate the problem: Given the spare capacity in the economy, inflation is unlikely to be an immediate risk. However, investors shouldn't turn a blind eye to the medium-term risk: It's entirely possible (dare I say likely) that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has grossly overestimated his ability to stuff the inflation genie back into its lamp if it is unleashed. In that context, investors should consider now what sort of assets would offer effective protection against a loss in purchasing power.
The new dynamics of wage inflation
With unemployment at 9%, only Chicken Littles are concerned about inflation. Think again. That 9% figure is misleading. If you believe, as I do, that the unemployment rate that represents full employment has increased during this crisis, the economy could experience upward pressure on wages ahead of the predictions of Fed models. In other words, if full employment occurs with 7% unemployment instead of 5%, the people who are employed could demand and obtain higher wages sooner than we expect. Note, for example, that the unemployment rate among college graduates was just 4.2% in January.
Siegel's right about this
I'm not a big fan of Jeremy "Stocks for the Long Run" Siegel -- one of the high priests of the cult of equity. However, I agree with him when he wrote recently that "dividend-paying stocks should be the choice of the conservative investor," ahead of inflation-protected government bonds. This is not a new strategy: In December 1937, Barron's ran an article titled "75 Hedges Against Inflation or Deflation" focused on dividend stocks.
These 75 hedges were the product of a screen to identify stocks that paid a dividend in every year of the Great Depression such that the lowest dividend equated to a yield of at least 4% on the stock price at the time the screen was run. I ran the same screen on the Russell 3000 over the period 2008-2010 -- the three years since the start of the Great Recession. Fewer than one in 10 stocks (236) made the cut; out of these I picked six for the following table, with an eye to durable competitive advantage (the only reliable source of above-normal returns):
Projected Yield*
|Altria (NYSE: MO )
|Leggett & Platt (NYSE: LEG )
|People's United Financial (Nasdaq: PBCT )
|Redwood Trust (NYSE: RWT )
|Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY )
|Fidelity National Financial (NYSE: FNF )
Source: Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.
*At Feb. 14, 2011, based on the latest annualized dividend per share.
Let me say a few words about two stocks that I find intriguing.
Better than Annaly
One stock that made the cut, but that isn't in my table is Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY ) . It's a favorite stock around The Motley Fool and beyond -- PIMCO's bond guru, Bill Gross, selected it as one of his two picks for the 2011 Barron's Roundtable in January. The REIT earns a spread on the money it borrows and reinvests in mortgage-backed securities (MBS). I mention Annaly because I think it is highly overrated compared to a stock I did include in my table, Redwood Trust which also invests in MBS (among other activities).
Redwood has one characteristic that I find very attractive compared to Annaly: permanent capital. At the end of September, more than four-fifths of Redwood's assets were financed by equity, with long-term debt representing just 11.4% of assets. Compare that to Annaly, which was leveraged nearly 7:1 at the end of the fourth quarter. Furthermore, Annaly needs to roll over its debt continually -- nearly all of its debt is in the form of (short-term) repurchase agreements. Combine a stable source of capital with Redwood's strict value discipline and you have all the elements for earning better-than-average returns. Interested in more information on Redwood Trust?

This lilly is a scrapper
Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, like many of its peers, is facing important patent expirations that will create a revenue shortfall in the years to come. However, the company has distinguished itself with proactive and innovative approaches to research and development. At the beginning of the last decade, Lilly created InnoCentive, a virtual platform for funding external research. This was instrumental in the development of Cialis, Lilly's blockbuster competitor for Viagra.
Today, Lilly is seeking to partner with venture capital to raise up to $750 million to seed three funds that could cover as many as 20 experimental medicines in different therapeutic areas. Patent expirations are a challenge for Lilly, but I think the company is addressing this head-on, and it looks well-positioned to produce satisfactory returns on behalf of shareholders.

Fla. Utility Customers Pay Now For Future Power
Regulators in Florida recently gave two utilities permission to begin charging customers for nuclear plants that won't be completed for at least a decade. To encourage development of nuclear power, Florida allows utilities to charge customers upfront for the costs. Now there's a movement to rethink that policy.

Call our Travel ExpertsAvailable 7 Days, 9am-10pm
Fall in love with the Portuguese capital by booking a short holiday with us at Co-operative Travel. The westernmost of our European city breaks, Lisbon is a stunning city combining a wealth of cultural and natural attractions.
Lisbon package city breaks take you to the west coast of Portugal. Rich in Romanesque, gothic, baroque and traditional Portuguese architecture, the city has numerous UNESCO attractions, the most famous being the stunning Tower of Belem. Others include the lofty 10th century Castelo de Sao Jorge, the 15th century Bairro Alto district, and the Jeronimos Monastery, where Vasco de Gama is buried.
Built on seven hills at the mouth of the river Targus, Lisbon city breaks have grown in popularity, with a vibrant new town with shops, bars, and restaurants; the traditional seafood restaurants of the Biarro Alto are to die for.
Transport options are both unusual and cheap; Lisbon city breaks should always include a vintage tram ride through the mediaeval Alfama district, or a trip from the lower Baixa district, where many cheap Lisbon city breaks are booked, to the upper city of Carmo Square. It's a pretty, if exhausting climb, but most people take the unique Santa Justa route. Included on the list of historic Lisbon city attractions, it's a unique vertical elevator dating from 1907 – the only one left of several that were originally installed.
Lisbon is perfect for cheap weekend breaks with the children. Hike through the stunning Monsanto Forest, the largest urban park in Europe; go to the Maritime museum and planetarium, or spend a day at the Oceanarium. Many families cross the Vasco da Gama bridge – the longest in Europe – and spend their breaks on the beach. Alternatively, there are the attractions of the modern Parque das Nacoes, on the river.
With a mild Mediterranean climate, last minute Lisbon city breaks are nevertheless quite hot in summer, so look for bargain city breaks to Lisbon in spring and autumn. Whether you book weekend breaks or stay a little longer, we at Coop Travel know you'll be enchanted.

Counseling and Student Development Center
"Supporting a Healthy Learning Environment"
Main Office
Building 39, Suite 120
Regular Hours
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 9am - 5pm |
Wednesday: 9am - 7pm
Call or walk-in to schedule an initial consultation today! If you are currently experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room for immediate help.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Individual Counseling
IF I GET COUNSELING DOES IT MEAN THAT I'M "CRAZY"? No. Counseling at our Center involves the concerns and problems of normal college students just like you. The fact that so many students seek our services reflects just how common these issues are. If you have privacy concerns, it may be helpful to know that students are constantly visiting us for a wide range of help. Because of this, nobody needs to know why you are at the Center unless you choose to confide in them.
WHAT IS COUNSELING? Counseling is an interaction between a person who is "stuck" in some way and in need of help, and another person who is trained in helping people get "unstuck." The reasons for coming are many, and the counseling strategies employed also vary from counselor to counselor. The one constant is that the counselor focuses all energies on trying to help the student. It doesn't always work, but most students find counseling helpful to them. If you feel uncertain about whether counseling is for you, we encourage you to make an initial appointment and discuss any reservations you might have with one of our counselors. There is no obligation to continue and all of our services are free to UDC students.
HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT? Appointments may be arranged by calling 202.274.6000 or by dropping by our office. Our support staff will place you on an appropriate staff member's schedule. Appointments can normally be scheduled within a few days from your request but may take a few weeks during the Center's busiest times. Schedule adjustments are made, however, in emergency situations.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT MY FIRST APPOINTMENT? You and a counselor will discuss the issues that led you to schedule an appointment. The counselor will talk to you about how the Center is best able to provide the kind of help you need and which staff member would be most appropriate for you. When the Center is unable to provide the type of service you need or request, we will refer you to an appropriate outside practitioner or agency and assist you in obtaining services there.
WHY SHOULD I TELL A STRANGER THINGS THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DISCUSS WITH PEOPLE CLOSEST TO ME? The fact that a counselor is not a friend or a family member actually makes it easier for him or her to help you. Unlike friends or family members whose advice is often colored by biases and preconceptions, counselors work to be non-judgmental, objective helpers. Your counselor will be working to understand you, your situation, and your goals.
BUT ISN'T IT GOING TO BE HARD FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT WHAT'S BOTHERING ME WITH A PERSON I DON'T EVEN KNOW? Maybe, especially in the beginning. You may feel anxious or shy, perhaps even a bit self-conscious or weak. Counselors understand that it's normal to feel uncomfortable and cautious during the first meeting, and they try to help by promoting an accepting environment in which you will feel at ease. As you gradually begin to trust your counselor, you'll probably find that you can be more relaxed and open.
BUT WHAT IF I CRY OR GET ANGRY AS I TALK ABOUT MY PROBLEMS? It's okay to feel and express intense emotions in counseling; in fact, doing so is often one of the most helpful parts of the process. Your counselor's office is a safe place to talk about how you are feeling. And paying close attention to these feelings can also teach you a lot about yourself.
WHO WILL KNOW WHAT I TALK ABOUT IN MY COUNSELING SESSIONS? Without your consent, no one. Everything you say in counseling is confidential, unless your counselor is required, by law, to break confidentiality to protect you or somebody else from harm. If you have questions about confidentiality or its limits, your counselor will be able to answer them.
HOW LONG AND HOW OFTEN ARE COUNSELING SESSIONS? Counseling sessions are normally scheduled on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis depending upon the nature of the problem. Sessions are typically 50 minutes long.
HOW LONG ARE MOST PEOPLE IN COUNSELING AT THE UDC? With only a few exceptions, students are normally in counseling for less than a semester. If the nature of the problem suggests that a greater number of sessions will be necessary, we help students to find the kind of help they need.
HOW DOES THE COUNSELING RELATIONSHIP NORMALLY END? Once you feel that the issues that brought you in for counseling are no longer of major concern, you and your counselor will talk about how and when to end counseling. Ideally, the personal awareness that you've gained and the efforts that you've made in establishing a trusting relationship with your counselor should provide an effective model for self-help long after counseling has ended.
WHAT WILL I GET OUT OF COMING TO COUNSELING? The benefits of counseling can be invaluable—to be truly understood, to experience trust and openness with someone, and to learn how to counsel yourself. Seeing a counselor won't make all of your problems magically disappear. But, if you have the desire to understand yourself and to change, then you've taken a powerful step towards that goal.
If you are currently experiencing a mental health emergency or are concerned about your own safety or the safety of someone else, please do not delay. Call 911 for immediate help.
Every student's sense of privacy is important to us. For adult students (over 18), we do not release personal information without written consent, except in emergency situations where information is needed to protect health and safety.

Thanks for supporting federal giving program | Letters
On behalf of over 2,700 charitable organizations that were part of the 2012-2013 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) of Island County, I would like to thank the federal employees of Island County who participated in this year's fund drive at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and the U.S. Postal Services of Island County.
The generous employees of NAS Whidbey and the U.S. Postal Service raised over $256,000 in donations.
The federal employees of Island County contributed their time, talent, and treasurers to benefit the local, national, and international charitable organizations that participated in the local CFC of Island County.
Thanks to Naval Hospital Oak Harbor at NAS Whidbey for allowing Lieutenant Elyse Braxton to serve as the Loaned Executive.
Braxton trained, coordinated, and motivated unit coordinators and key workers who made this year a huge success.
This year's CFC effort would not have been possible without the year-round support and guidance of the Local Federal Coordinating Committee that oversees the CFC. Thanks to the federal community for giving so generously in time and money.
With the help of all these individuals and donors, the CFC supported local, national, and international agencies to improve the quality of life for all.

Bikini-clad models pose in Siberian snow
Monday 21 Jan 2013 11:22 p.m.
Some beauty contestants want world peace, others just want men and women of all colours, creeds and religions to live in harmony.
But some brave women would probably settle for some clothes and a cup of tea.
The idea of getting sent to Siberia has never been that attractive, but that might be about to change.
Tatyana Fetisova organised a rather cold competition for aspiring young models in the snowy country.
"We understood that we don't have the sea or the ocean - we can't photograph the girls in bikinis. But we wanted to do this anyway, so we decided it would be sensational if we did it in the way that we did it today."
With that faultless logic, a beauty contest was born pitting 20 bikini-clad Russian models against one another for the title "Miss Snow Universe".
The temperature of around – 21degC did funny things to the contestants. One began pulling her own pony tail, and wouldn't stop.
Model Maria Shmelyova found her teeth chattering.
"I don't really know - are my teeth chattering because I'm nervous or because it was cold? But actually, I really liked it - it was cool. I could've stood there for longer."
Fortunately they all got to go inside for the fur coat section of the pageant. However it was too late for the winner Vladislava Verner who in the process of competing caught a head cold.
"No, probably it wasn't [because of] the swimsuit photo session. When I came my throat already hurt a little, but it didn't keep me from fighting for the Miss Snow Universe title - it's a huge title and it was very important for me, thank you."
But the good news is she'll get to vie for the title in much warmer climes when the Miss World Tourism competition gets underway in Thailand.

In downtown Willmar, two holdouts from a bygone era
It's almost like the 21st century never arrived here at the Centre Point Mall in downtown Willmar.
Inside, clock smith Wes Carlson tinkers with the gears of an old mantle clock. The ticking of the dozens of others he has already fixed provides a mechanical rhythm for the slow, absorbing task.
Nearby his friend Jim Ackerman, a third-generation cobbler, examines a pair of cowboy boots in need of some patching up. "This is something you kind of learn as you see it," he says of his trade. Back in '87, he took over from his father, who took over from his father long before that.
In a time of mass produced, disposable goods, the two tradesmen are a dying breed, said Carlson.
That's not to say, though, that business is suffering.
Both men reported a steady, if not booming business, with people driving great distances for the services they provide.
It seems people still have plenty of possessions too special to throw away. What they don't have, though, is people who are still around that know how to fix them.
"Every little town used to have a harness shop, a shoe repair shop, a blacksmith," said Ackerman. Now, he said, "people will come in from 70, 80 miles around to get their shoes fixed."
The cobbler legacy of the Ackerman family began when his grandfather built a harness shop in Cosmos, which later evolved into a shoe repair shop. Ackerman still uses the sewing machine capable of penetrating leather that his grandfather bought -- used -- in 1937.
His parents later moved the shop to Litchfield, and then to its current location in Willmar. Ackerman took over 22 years ago.
For the bulk of his life, he had been working in the abstract worlds of teaching and sales. Remembering his bygone days spent in the shop, helping his parents patch and polish shoes, he always longed to get back to working with his hands. For him, repairing shoes never felt like work.
"I guess I kind of retired when I took over here," he said. "It's very non-stressful."
With people coming from all over with not only shoes, but purses, belts, and other valuables in need of repair, he said he keeps busy. Still, he said, being a cobbler in 2009 is no get-rich-quick scheme.
"This is not a get wealthy program, but I guess I'm about as wealthy as any guy I know when it comes to happiness," he said.
Carlson, too, finds the work to be not all that lucrative, but absorbing and free of stress.
"I guess I'm kind of a tinkerer," he said. "I learned from my grandparents. When they found something old and broken they'd fix it."

Frontier Airlines will return to the Louis Armstrong International Airport next year for the first time since Hurricane Katrina, offering a daily service to Denver beginning June 15.
Southwest Airlines, which remained in New Orleans but trimmed services after the storm, also announced the addition of two daily trips from Louis Armstrong. Beginning in May, Southwest will add a direct line to St. Louis and a second flight to Denver.
"This just shows the strength of the recovery," said airport spokeswoman Maggie Woodruff.
New Orleans now has more than twice the number of daily flights to St. Louis than before the storm, when American Airlines ran the only two trips to that city. American now offers four smaller daily flights, and the arrival of Southwest will mean a fifth route to St. Louis from New Orleans.
"It's always nice to have more than one carrier," Woodruff said.
Trips to Denver will also surpass pre-Katrina levels. Frontier operated two flights to the Mile-High City before the storm, and United Airlines preserved its three flights to Denver. Frontier's return and the additions by Southwest -- which launched its first Denver-New Orleans service in September -- will mean six daily flights to Colorado from New Orleans.
Frontier, which specializes in Denver travel, may add a second connection from the Big Easy if the new line fares well. The company -- which emerged from bankruptcy this month and is now a subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings Inc. of Indianapolis -- has conservative expansion plans.
"Hopefully it's the sign of much more growth from the company," Frontier spokesman Steve Snyder said of Frontier's return to New Orleans.
Mary Beth Romig, a spokeswoman for the New Orleans Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau, interpreted Frontier's return as a positive sign for tourism at a time when many airlines are making cuts around the country
Direct connections to a major hub such as Denver could bring more meetings and conventions to New Orleans, according to Romig.
"Planners need to be sure their attendees can get here easily," she said.

As the latest plans to revive public recycling in Jefferson Parish arrive Wednesday, one New Orleans garbage company has already begun preparing for the worst outcome of any competition: disqualification.
Richard's Disposal Inc., whose first offer was dismissed during a previous evaluation of curbside recycling programs, has laid the groundwork for an official protest even before submitting a new proposal. Its core dispute is new language in the parish's latest request that explicitly excludes companies without two years of experience in "curbside collection, processing and marketing of recyclable materials" from substituting their experience as garbage collectors in their proposals.
The new edits "appear to be, quite frankly, designed specifically to preclude the local vender, Richard's Disposal, from bidding," said Daniel Davillier, an attorney for Richard's Disposal.
Parish Attorney Deborah Foshee said the new request was not meant to deter Richards from resubmitting a proposal, but rather to lay bare that only offers from companies with two years' experience in recycling will be accepted.
"That is new language, but that was already the case before," she said.
The process of restarting recycling in unincorporated Jefferson and Jean Lafitte has itself been recycled three times under two administrations. After two failures to revive the program in 2008 and 2009, the Parish Council scuttled the latest attempt in May after an evaluation committee rejected one company, Waste Pro USA, only to later deem it to have met their minimum requirements.
But that action came well after Richard's Disposal had been already removed from consideration.
The company never collected recyclables until two months ago under a new contract with New Orleans. But collecting recyclables is not a far stretch, Davillier said.
"There's really no material difference in that and the extensive experience Richard's has in collecting municipal solid waste," he said.
In a July 13 letter to a member of the evaluation committee, Assistant Parish Attorney Jacques Molaison, Davillier also argued that two other proposals accepted during the last go-around should have been thrown out on the same grounds. He said Waste Pro, a Florida company, hadn't done business long enough in Louisiana to qualify. And IESI Corp., which is based in Texas and holds Jefferson's garbage collection contract, did not show that its Louisiana subsidiary had enough recycling experience either, he said.
Foshee said the parish hadn't responded to Davillier's letter because the evaluation process hadn't begun and Richard's Disposal had not offered a new proposal.
"The answer is that until all the submissions are in, we're not going to make a determination about any challenges," she said. "We'll address all those after all responses to the RFP have been received."
Davillier said Richard's Disposal intends to re-enter the competition. All proposals are due with the Purchasing Department by 4 p.m. Wednesday.
"If they have any complaints about the other submissions after all the submissions are in, (parish officials) will be happy to look at it," Foshee said.

The Terms and Conditions and Disclaimer contain important information which all students are advised to read before accepting an offer/registering.
When we confirm your acceptance of an offer of a place on a programme at the University, a legal contract is formed between you and the University on the basis of the terms and conditions of your offer and the terms and conditions set out in this document. This document therefore contains important information which you need to read carefully prior to accepting your offer to ensure that you understand its contents. If you have any questions about these Terms and Conditions, please contact the Head of Student Services at firstname.lastname@example.com
1. Mutual rights and obligations
The University is committed to providing you with a challenging learning experience that can help you reach your full potential. The University strives to provide excellence in teaching and research and to enhance the student experience by focusing on the needs of our students, seeking to instill a shared sense of inclusiveness, collegiality and community. It aims to equip versatile graduates with the confidence to apply what they have learned for the benefit of society.
The creation and management of an environment that is conducive to learning and research and to the enjoyment of a positive student experience requires all members of the University, staff and students alike, to treat each other with mutual dignity and respect. The University requires all its students to behave responsibly and to maintain standards of good conduct at all times. Anti-social behaviour or any other form of student misconduct, however minor, can negatively affect the good order of the University and disrupt the positive learning and wider experience of others. Students are required to comply with the Code of Conduct, a copy of which can be found in the College Student Handbook (Behaviour on Campus). Breach of the Code which constitutes Student Misconduct as defined by Senate Regulation 6 may result in disciplinary action being taken by the University.
As a student you will be provided with the tuition and academic support associated with your programme. In addition the University offers extensive pastoral support such as support for learning and for your health and welfare.
Your place with the University will be conditional upon you registering at the start of your programme and enrolling at the start of each subsequent academic year. Your place will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in our offer letter to you, the information contained in the University prospectus for the year of your entry, information on our web pages and the contractual information and disclaimer published at the end of this Document together with (as from time to time in force and /or updated):
- the University's Charter, Statutes, Council Ordinances and Senate Regulations;
- all the University's rules, policies and procedures (including the rules, policies and procedures of your College and/or Research Institute); and

These documents, which comprise our "Terms", contain the University's requirements in particular in relation to:
- admission, registration and attendance;
- payment of fees and other charges;
- academic progression, conduct, assessment and awards;
- general conduct, fitness to study, fitness to practice and Professional Suitability (including the requirements of any relevant Professional, Statutory or Regulatory Body);
- immigration
- equal opportunities, harassment, and health and safety; and
- use of the University's services and facilities including those relating to IT, the Library, sports and fitness, and car parking.
Some of these documents may be accessed at Policies and Other Important Documents page and in the Undergraduate prospectus / Postgraduate prospectus. Alternatively, copies can be obtained upon request from the University's Quality and Standards Office.
Please make sure that you familiarise yourself with these documents and their relevant requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the University taking action against you under relevant University procedures (for example those relating to academic conduct or progression, student misconduct, fitness to practise, Professional Suitability, fitness to study or fees) which could lead to the University terminating your registration or revoking your award.
We welcome comments on your experience of being a student at the University and look to make improvements where we can. If there is something that you are unhappy about, please tell us straightaway so that, if possible, we can put it right. If you wish to complain about an action or lack of action by the University, or any aspect of our service, you may do so using the Complaints Procedure. The University also offers a free Mediation Service that can be used to resolve most grievances quickly and easily.
2. Conditional offers
Your place will be subject to you meeting any offer conditions we tell you of in writing such as obtaining particular qualifications and/or satisfying all necessary legal and other requirements to study here on your chosen programme (for example in relation to criminal record checks, disclosure of previous conviction details, health checks and immigration clearance).
Your offer letter will identify whether your offer is subject to you meeting specific conditions and the dates by when you will need to have met them. It will also direct you to any specific programme requirements.
3. Disclosure of criminal convictions and related information
As a condition of taking up your place at the University you are required to disclose as part of the Admissions process and on a continuing basis any relevant, unspent criminal convictions. For some programmes ( for example, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, social work and teaching) you may be required to disclose all convictions and cautions (whether spent or unspent with the exception of Protected Convictions and Cautions as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975 (Amendments) (England and Wales) Order 2013), and to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) application, previously known as a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check, and other checks both prior to and post registration. The University will inform you when such disclosure and checks apply.
The University will consider whether any unspent or spent criminal convictions or related information are compatible with you taking up your place or continuing on your programme in accordance with its Policy on the Acceptance of Ex-Offenders
The University may be under a duty to disclose information about you to professional, regulatory or statutory bodies.
See Guidance Notes for Applicants who are Ex-Offenders for further information in relation to disclosure of criminal convictions requirements.
4. Health requirements
For some programmes (for example education, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and social work) you may be required to disclose certain information about your health and to undergo health checks. You may also have to produce evidence of immunisation against certain diseases in order to take up your place and/or continue with your studies. Your offer letter and information provided in relation to specific programmes on our website and in our prospectuses will tell you when such health requirements apply.
The University will consider whether the information resulting from any disclosure, health checks and/or immunisation history is compatible with you taking up your place or continuing on your programme.
For further information in relation to health requirements please contact your College.
5. Student support, health and welfare
The University provides an extensive variety of student support services including academic skills workshops, medical care through its on-site NHS Medical Centre, a free counselling service and (through its Disability and Dyslexia Service) support and advice to disabled applicants and students. If you have a disability or other support need you are strongly encouraged to disclose it to the Disability and Dyslexia Service on application so that the University can seek to support you with your needs throughout your studies.
The University values inclusiveness and endeavours to ensure that all applicants and students are treated on the basis of their merits and abilities and that no one suffers discrimination or disadvantage on the basis of their gender, marital status, race, colour, ethnic or national origins, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief, or age.
Further information about the student support services the University provides can be obtained from Student Services (Health, Welfare and Advice)
6. Immigration
The University is a sponsor for the purposes of sponsoring students who wish to study at the University from outside the EEA and has measures in place to ensure that it complies with its obligations under the current Immigration regime.
At the outset of the University's registration process and as part of the University's recordkeeping obligations, if you are student from outside the EEA you will need to provide the University with your passport and Biometric Residency Permit or other evidence of your permission to study at the University granted by UK Visa & Immigration (UKVI) and contact details (including UK address, telephone number and/or mobile telephone number).
Please note that the University is under an obligation to report to the UKVI any student who (amongst other matters) does not enrol on their nominated programme, a student who is absent from their programme without permission, a student who chooses to discontinue their studies or changes their programme, a student whose registration is terminated by the University and/or a student who is in violation of their visa conditions.
Once in the UK, you must take responsibility for ensuring that you comply with the terms of your student visa whilst studying in the UK. Should you wish to take up paid employment on a part time basis, you should ensure that such work does not exceed the hours that are stipulated on your visa during term time. You are permitted to work full time only when considered not in term by the University. Term time can vary depending, for example, on the level and programme you are studying and you should refer to the Rights to Work guidance on the Student Centre's website. Please note that if you choose to withdraw from your studies or if your registration is terminated by the University, this could affect the validity of your visa and your ability to work or remain in the UK.
If your leave to remain in the UK is curtailed by the UKVI, the University may be required to re-evaluate your registration status as you will no longer be able to study in the UK.
Further information in relation to immigration issues which could affect you are listed below:
Tier 4 Student Visa Information
Home Office Information on UK Visas and Immigration
or please contact email@example.com
7. Payment of deposits, fees and other charges
It will be your responsibility to ensure that all deposits, tuition and other fees and charges payable to the University are paid when due. Your offer letter will confirm the amount of tuition fees that you will be required to pay. Where a third party (such as a sponsor or employer) is responsible for payment on your behalf you will need to make sure that they make payment otherwise you could find yourself liable for payment.
If you cease to be a student of the University, because for example you withdraw or the University terminates your registration, you may still be liable for any outstanding fees and charges.
It is important that you read Council Ordinance 11 and the Student Financial Policy carefully as these set out the University's and your respective rights and obligations including but not limited to circumstances in which sums paid to the University will be refunded. They also set out the potential consequences if you fail to make payment such as the University's ability to terminate your registration and/or to withhold awards. In addition, non-payment of fees and/or charges could result in the University taking legal action against you to recover outstanding amounts.
In particular, please note that Council Ordinance 11 permits the University to raise the tuition fees confirmed in your offer letter by no more than 5% or in accordance with RPI (Retail Price Index), whichever is the greater, on a yearly basis.
8. Data protection
The University uses your personal data as set out in its Data Protection Policy.
9. Intellectual property
The University has an IP Policy dealing with intellectual property created whilst you are a student at the University. Such IP will normally be owned by you. In certain limited circumstances such IP will be owned by the University, for instance to allow the University to protect and commercialise the IP from a project as a whole or to protect its charitable status. By accepting a place at the University, you are formally accepting the University's rights of ownership and rights to use and copy, as well as its policy on commercialisation and revenue sharing, as set out in its IP Policy.
10. Disclosure of information generally
The University may amend or withdraw your offer of a place or terminate your registration if it determines that you have made any fraudulent, false or misleading application or statement to the University, or if you have failed to disclose relevant information to the University (including in respect of criminal convictions) or have produced falsified documents, whether in the programme of your application or whilst on your programme. In such cases the University may take action against you under its Admissions Policy, Fitness to Practice Policy, Student Misconduct and Professional Suitability procedures, or other relevant policy or procedure.
11. Accommodation
The terms of any offer by the University (or any other party) to provide you with accommodation during your studies will be the subject of a separate accommodation contract and payment of accommodation fees and charges under that separate contract.
Check the Accommodation pages for general information and guidance regarding the provision of University accommodation.
12. Insurance
The University will not insure your personal possessions and you should consider making arrangements to do so yourself if you wish to have insurance in place.
Your right to cancel
When we confirm your acceptance of an offer of a place on a programme at the University, a legal contract is formed with the University on the basis of the terms and conditions set out in your offer letter and those set out in this document. For the avoidance of doubt, your offer of a place at the University will be confirmed on receipt of correspondence from the University, which will be individually addressed to you (and not when you receive electronic confirmation through UCAS).
This contract may be ended by the University if the relevant conditions are not met or our terms not complied with. The contract is governed by English law and subject to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
In entering into that contract, neither you nor the University intends that any of the terms of the contract will be enforceable by any person not a party to it, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
Right to cancel
You have the right to cancel this contract under the Consumer Contract (Information, Cancellation and Additional Payments) Regulations 2013 within 14 days without giving any reason.
The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of this contract (i.e. when you receive written confirmation of your acceptance of an offer of a place on a programme at the University).
To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). You should exercise your right to cancel by contacting us at Admissions Department, Brunel University London, Kingston Lane, Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH (firstname.lastname@example.com). You may use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory.
To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.
Effects of cancellation
If you cancel this contract within the 14 day cancellation period, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you.
If you requested to begin the performance of services during the cancellation period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated to us your cancellation of this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
If you have any queries regarding our Terms, please contact the Head of Student Services at email@example.com

Today's "Comment of the Day" was posted by SILive.com user jd622 to a story about the New York City-wide bike tour -- organizers say no backpacks will be allowed this year.
Said jd622:
Yep, I was originally supposed to ride, but thanks to the ban, I'm going to back out. I usually carry 3 bottles of Gatorade (water is great, but need those electrolytes), a box of granola bars, and my jacket (once I get warmed up through the first few miles) in a backpack on my back. No place to store all of that now while riding.

(Editor's note: Laurie Davis of the Essex County Cornell Cooperative Extension will fill in for Richard Gast this week. Mr. Gast's column from the Franklin County Cooperative Extension will return March 9.)
A few nights ago I was attending a growers' discussion group. Many of our North Country direct market farmers had gathered in the warm kitchen of a colleague to share ideas and concerns for the upcoming growing season. These farmers are enjoying a rare bit of down time, repairing equipment, placing seed orders and figuring out how to get reliable, affordable labor forces in the field. But part of the conversation took me by surprise.
Many of the farmers in the room, aside from attending farmers markets and selling to stores and restaurants, also run community-supported agriculture businesses. The CSA is one of the up-and-coming farm business models in the Adirondack region, and it's a great way to for a farmer to direct market his or her product. It did not surprise me that they were operating CSAs - I've been celebrating that fact for several years. What alarmed me was their news that share purchases were particularly slow so far this year. They were discovering that folks wanted to wait until the first share was ready (typically sometime in May) before they signed up and paid. Unfortunately, this runs counter to the CSA model and is detrimental to the farm.
The CSA consumer should purchase a seasonal subscription or "share" from the farmer during the winter. This business model is particularly well suited to direct-market farmers who are cash-strapped in the late winter/early spring, and it's critical to sell shares at this time. The farmer needs to purchase seeds and many other supplies for the growing season, and most of the farm income has tailed off.
By purchasing a CSA share in the winter, the consumer helps to ensure that the farmer can hit the ground running come spring. In return, the consumer is given many weeks of freshly harvested vegetables. Some farms don't stop at vegetables but also offer shares of eggs, meats, flowers, maple syrup, honey, dairy products and more. Some are seasonal, some are year-round, some are conventional, some are organic, etc. - the options are yours to explore.
How are the shares distributed? On-farm pick-up, once a week, is common, but many CSA farmers also vend at local farmers' markets and will bring the boxes of produce with them for distribution. Some farms even offer home delivery, although this is rare because of the increased labor involved. Shares are priced to reflect a fair market value for fresh local food. Often the consumer can negotiate a "working share" in which they work on the farm for a few hours each week in exchange for a reduced share price. This is a great way to breathe some fresh air, stretch your muscles with some new activities and take out your frustrations on that tenacious pigweed in the farm field. It reacquaints the non-agrarian public with the process of raising food. Again, both the farmer and the consumer benefit here.
One of the realities about our industrialized food system these days is that the public often feels less connected to its food sources. The advantage of a CSA is that one can get to know his or her farmer and growing methods. Many CSAs tend to be certified organic or at least use fewer chemicals - weed and pest control may involve intensive-labor methods. Every interaction between the farmer and the public serves to educate. If one CSA doesn't fit, there may be another one across the county or just across town that feels right.
CSA farms frequently offer events for their members such as harvest dinners or parties to gather a particular crop from the field. It can be fun to gather with other farm supporters and feel that sense of community that may be lacking in our daily, hectic work lives. Children are usually welcome at these gatherings, and it's a fine time to teach them about where fresh food comes from. It comes as a surprise to most people that even in our rural region there are a vast number of kids who do not know much about their food sources. Tasting produce fresh off the vine, bursting with flavor, can hook a kid into healthy eating without the nagging. Studies have shown that when kids are regularly exposed to fresh vegetables, they become adults who consume nearly double the quantity of produce than their veggie-deprived counterparts. Imagine those numbers ranging over the other fresh foods offered straight from the farm.
This spring, we are fortunate to have many CSAs spread across the North Country, and now's the time to join. Adirondack Harvest is a regional organization dedicated to connecting our local farmers with consumers and can help you in your quest for local foods. For a listing of CSAs with contact information visit www.adirondackharvest.com/csa.html. Buy a share in our region's bounty, and support your local farmer. Try a CSA this year!

By Jim Baker
Some time ago I was asked to commission the SCADA on a substation in a desert town in Saudi Arabia. I knew our products pretty well but there was one part that worried me: a very large UPS with Nickel Cadmium batteries. All the equipment had been shipped from Australia and installed prior to my arrival by extremely competent local technicians. After very apprehensively filling the batteries with the very nasty electrolyte, I was ready to turn on the charger.
The charger controller comprised a circuit board that mounted on the back of the UPS cabinet door, the component side facing you as you looked at the back of the door. There was a cutout in the door that allowed LED displays that were mounted on the "back" of the PCB to project through and be seen from the front of the cabinet. A square of red tinted acrylic was mounted on the front of the door to hide the PCB from view. The bolts that held the acrylic panel in place passed through the door and also held the PCB in place.
I had not commissioned battery chargers before, so I was very nervous when I turned on the power. To my horror there was a flash and a cloud of smoke from the PCB. My worst nightmare. I immediately turned off the power and tried to work out what had happened. I removed the PCB from the door and inspected it for damage. All that was obvious was that there were two resistor legs on the PCB surrounded by soot and no resistor. I had no way of knowing what the value was or what it did. The company did not provide schematics. I investigated the reason for the problem and discovered that, when the PCB had been mounted on the door, the spacers that were supposed to stop it from touching the powder-coated door were placed on the wrong side of the door and were, in fact, on the acrylic panel side. All had been well during FAT because the powder coating had insulated the PCB from the door. In transit the sharp points of the components on the PCB had scratched through the paint causing some to short out. This was not very helpful.
Since commissioning could not take place without the charger operating, I had to fix it. I was 350km from any major city that might have a store at which I could buy components - assuming I knew what to get. I rang my office in Australia to get the phone number of the manufacturer so I could discuss the problem. The technician at the UPS company was extremely sympathetic and helpful. He said that they never give out schematics but in my case he would make an exception. The technicians working with me arranged to borrow a fax machine and the schematics were faxed through. I examined the circuit and discovered that the missing resistor was 100ohm ¼ watt. Now the problem was where to get one. Again the local technicians came to the rescue and managed to salvage a 100 ohm ½ w resistor from an old TV. I was not very hopeful that this was the only problem but I had to start somewhere.
I soldered the resistor on the PCB and mounted it on the door with the spacers in the correct position. Very nervously I turned on the power. Imagine my relief when the UPS all started up perfectly.

Letters To The Editor
December 13, 2006 - MidWeek
Bumpy sidewalks
There are many complaints about road potholes, (as in) Don Chapman's recent column, but no one mentions the sad condition of sidewalks.
I'm handicapped and have a companion wheelchair that helpers and friends push. In the area between Wal-Mart, Don Quijote and the Convention Center it is hard on my helpers as the small wheels often get stuck on the broken pavement. The ride is very bumpy!
I wonder how many pedestrians twist their ankles and fall.
Dzidra Damerel
The religious threat
Civilization is beset by Islamic extremists the world over, with jihadists openly stating the aim to re-establish the Caliphate and bring down "Great Satan" U.S. in the process. In the name of God, they go about busily incinerating Australian tourists in Bali, beheading Christian girls in Malaysia, blowing up buildings, embassies and airplanes, spreading mayhem in the Near East, making post-Christian, pre-Muslim Europe safe for sharia and ... You get the picture.
But Dan Boylan, MidWeek's resident Bush-hater, apparently is more concerned with (brace yourself) Americans, like Bush, who profess to be Christians and think that they should go about their lives living their religious beliefs. Those feared (at least in Boylan's way of thinking) evangelicals will want to keep "In God We Trust" on our money, but the terrorists will want to cut our throats. MidWeek's readers should decide which is really worth the worry.
Tom Freitas

Owed an apology
Dan Boylan's comment regarding President George W Bush's recent visit to military bases, and that he wreaked his usual havoc this time at the expense of four motorcycle cops and departed - mercifully - after 15 hours, was despicable, disrespectful and we all deserve a full apology.
Political comment has its place in our everyday life, but there is no excuse for this, considering the pouring out of support for a sad loss, and the overwhelming public response by donating their blood.
John Werrill
Smoke is really OK
Larry Price's comments in his Nov. 29 column perpetuate the myth that secondhand smoke is a health risk to non-smokers. On May 17 the respected British Medical Journal published the results of a 39-year study of nearly 120,000 adults in California begun in 1959 by the American Cancer Society. In 1972 the ACS turned its study over to UCLA, who completed it in 1998.
The study's objective was "to measure the relation between environmental tobacco smoke, as estimated by smoking in spouses, and long term mortality from tobacco-related disease." Risks and deaths from coronary heart disease, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases were measured. The study focused on people who never smoked who had a spouse who smoked and concluded that "the results do not support a casual relationship between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco-related mortality." In fact, the conclusion also stated that "the association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed."
Furthermore, a 10-year study in Europe by the World Health Organization published in 1998 came to the same conclusion.
Hawaii's new smoking ban, particularly outside, is punitive to smokers and businesses, and will surely affect visitors and tourists negatively.
Janice Pechauer
Yes, ban ROTC
Now it is Bill O'Reilly's turn for name-calling (MidWeek Nov. 29, 2006). He disagrees with the San Francisco Board of Education's decision to end ROTC in high school. He calls them nutty. I hope that educated men would have a better vocabulary than goofy, nutty and leave the country when they have an opposing position. Juvenile name-calling does not solve problems.
I agree with the San Francisco Board of Education that we must end the military industrial complex that the United States has become. Glory-seeking presidents have invaded the third world countries of Vietnam, Lebanon, Somalia and Iraq with disastrous results. Thousands upon thousands of American military have been killed. Hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children have been killed in those countries. None of those countries had done any harm to the United States.

Greenville police are looking for a woman they said robbed a convenience store with a gun.
Police said the woman went to the Citgo Store at 1301 S. Pleasantburg Drive with a handgun on Friday at 10:57 p.m. and robbed the store of the money from the cash register.
They said the woman had her face covered and had on gloves.
The clerk told police she believes the same woman came into the store earlier that evening with a man.
Police have released images from both times to see if anyone recognizes the woman. (The picture to the right is from earlier in the evening. The picture at the top of the page is from the robbery)
If you do police are asking you to call them on the tip line at 864-271-GCPD (4273) or Greenville Crime Stoppers at 864-23-CRIME.

Weekly Bundle Roundup: October 17, 2013
Don't fret, Tom! It's time once again for the Weekly Bundle Roundup, the loosely defined series of articles filled with Bundle Analysis, Cheap Games, and Indie Giveaways! This week, Humble summons the androids to kill us all, leading to a BundleStars bloodbath in the middle of Indie Gala's Octoberfest celebration. A tragedy to be sure, but we must all carry on and buy bundles, so let's get going!
All Games On Steam
For $1:
For ~$6:
- Worms Reloaded
- The Bard's Tale
- Mystery Games to come next week!
- Anodyne has Trading Cards
- Ticket to Ride DLC is the USA 1910 Expansion
- Worms 2: Armageddon is the Android Equivalent to Worms Reloaded
- Ends 10/29
Humble stars us off as they normally do with their 7th Android focused bundle. However, as with the last few of these, the cell phone games are only a bonus to the sweet Steam goodness found within. Worms Reloaded is one of the good 2D Worms games, Incredipede is an interesting digital toy to whittle away the hours on, and Bards Tale is perhaps the highlight, although it has been a while since I rented the Xbox version from Blockbuster. If you have a cell phone or not, this bundle is most likely worth it for you.
$1.50 for 2 games, $4.29 for all games
- eXceed 2nd – Vampire REX (Steam)
- eXceed 3rd – Jade Penetrate Black Package (Steam)
- HellSinker (DRM-Free)
- Higurashi When They Cry (Desura)
- KAMUI (Desura, Greenlight)
- ARMED SEVEN (Desura)
- Hatoful Boyfriend (DRM-Free)
- eXceed games have Trading Cards
- Ends 10/28
Fans of VNs, Mech Suits, and SHUMPS rejoice! The Doujin Bundle is back for round 2, bringing unique indie games from the land of the rising sun. However, for a Build a Bundle, there aren't that many choices to be had, especially if you're only interested in Steam releases. However, if you're willing to explore the wide world of Desura, you can see a Genesis game out of time in ARMED SEVEN.
For ~$3:
- Clutch (Steam)
- NecroVisioN + NecroVisioN: Lost Company (Steam)
- The Void (Steam)
- Zombie Bowl-o-Rama (Steam)
- 99 Levels To Hell (Desura)
- Ends 11/1
Just in time for the SPOOKIEST time of the year as mandated by the Hallmark company, BundleStars invites you to partake in the Bloodbath bundle. The standout here for me is Zombie Bowl-o-Rama, which is a zombie game that is also a bowling game, and therefore it is automatically amazing and worth your money. Clutch is worth mentioning too, a fun arcade driver that is well worth the sub $3 price here. Get this TREAT before it turns into a TRICK! Get it?!
For $1:
- RefleX (Desura, Greenlight)
- Eryi's Action (Desura, Greenlight)
- Satazius (Steam)
- Naval War: Arctic Circle (Steam)
- Mystery Desura Game
For $5.50:
- Fairy Bloom Fresia (Steam)
- Gorky 17 (Steam)
- Knights of Pen and Paper (Steam)
- Two Worlds II: Velvet Edition (Steam)
- Crusader Kings II (Steam)
- Ether Vapor Remaster (Steam)
- The Showdown Effect (Steam)
- Mystery Steam Game
- Showdown Effect, Ether Vapor, Crusader Kings, Knights of Pen and Paper, and Fairy Bloom Fresia have trading cards.
- Ends 10/24
Gala's latest offering is a good mixture of games new to bundles and bundle repeats, although I feel like I've seen Two Worlds 2 in at least 5 bundles since I started doing this column. You should be able to make just about $5.50 on the Steam Market from selling the cards from the 5 games that include them in this bundle, so considering that, it should be well worth picking up this large collection of games of notable titles.
For ~$6
- Cities in Motion 2 (Steam)
- Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project (Steam)
- Impire (Steam)
- XenoMiner (Desura)
- Perfection (Steam)
- Mystery Game
- Cities in Motion has trading cards.
- IndieRoyale put up this bundle as I was writing this article, as if they could sense my presence.
- Ends 10/23
I'm not 100% sure if it's Indie Royale's birthday, of if it is just a name, but in any case they know how to throw a party! A bundle filled with games new to the bundle scene, including one of the many Duke games better than Duke Nukem Forever, a dungeon simulator in Impire, and one of the many City simulators better than SimCity (2013).
That's it for bundles this week! This week's Indie Giveaway is for Post Mortem, so be sure to enter for your chance to win, and I'll see you all sometime in the next week!

The Grinning Demon Reviews CURSED PIRATE GIRL
If you haven't read CURSED PIRATE GIRL yet then now's your chance! Take a look at the excerpt below from Jonathan Miller over at The Grinning Demon's review of Jeremy Bastian's gorgeous Archaia graphic novel.
"It is hard to know where to begin with this book; and I barely feel that anything I write will do this herculean effort of storytelling justice. Before opening the pages to the actual story the reader is blown away with several illustrations of mind boggling detail. And then the story actually starts and the detail becomes exponentially greater."
Read the whole review on The Grinning Demon website, HERE!
And after you read the review pick up your own copy of CURSED PIRATE GIRL over at the Archaia webstore, your local comic shop, or wherever books are sold.

At What Age should my Child start a Musical Instrument
As a Kindermusik Educator, this has to be one of the most common question I get asked from parents, especially when their child reaches pre-school and Kindy age. While there are always exceptions, in general, my suggestion to parents is to wait until their child is at least 5 or 6 years old. There are many compelling reasons for this - I've outlined some below - milestones by which most 5 or 6-year olds have or are beginning to achieve.Read more

JENISON, REMEMBERED FONDLY — The memories came flowing in from Michigan State fans yesterday when we asked readers to reminisce about Jenison Fieldhouse. The cozy arena, where the Spartans mens basketball team has not played since 1989, will get plenty of basketball attention this weekend.
Readers shared stories going back as far as the 1950s, several involving shooter Terry Furlow, and this one from when Magic Johnson played in the late 1970s:
"I think it was the first home game in '78. Early in the game Johnson bounced a pass off Vincent's head. After that Jay and the rest of the team were always expecting a pass."
RIGHT TO WORK, THE DAY AFTER — Clinton Tarver is a hot dog vendor who says his equipment was damaged when right-to-work protesters pulled down a tent during Tuesday's protests at the Capitol. Police say they'd be sure to investigate, except that no one has brought an actual criminal complaint to them. Donations will help Tarver replace his equipment.
PET OF THE WEEK — Meet Bailey, your next dog. Bailey is our Pet of the Week.

DRINKING IN EAST LANSING — The East Lansing City Council is moving closer to changes to city rules that limit a restaurant's alcohol sales to less than half of its revenue. Speaking of restaurants, one — the Black Cat Bistro — could be on the way.
CHRISTMAS CABARET — The show "A Christmas Cabaret" plays at the Wharton Center this weekend. Writer Emily Caswell talks with show creator Greg Ganakas, who's also the son of a former Michigan State basketball coach.
Next on Emily's holiday to-do list: an interview today with Three Men and a Tenor, who are preparing for their 20th anniversary concert.
That's it for this morning. Come back to MLive Lansing for more news throughout the day, and make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
