The mid-season finale of "Breaking Bad" airs tonight, and Walt has some loose ends to tie up.
In a sneak peek at tonight's episode (above), Walt (Bryan Cranston) shows up at a restaurant in his full-on Heisenberg getup to meet with Lydia (Laura Fraser) to discuss a list of men who know too much about Walt's business.
"Let's take a look at the list," Walt says. "What, I'm not tying up loose ends for our mutual benefit?" he says, when Lydia seems wary.
"You're tying up loose ends, and I don't want to be one of them," she replies. "Once I give you that list, maybe I've served my purpose and I'm just one more person who knows too much."
While Lydia is now an integral part of "Breaking Bad," the actress wasn't exactly an expert on the AMC series when she nabbed the role.
"I was a little bit too nervous to watch ["Breaking Bad"] before," she said in an interview with Vulture. "I was wanting to stay in the world that I was reading from in the script. But after that first episode I went and watched the whole thing, because at that point I was like okay, I'm a part of it. I couldn't resist any longer."
The mid-season "Breaking Bad" finale airs Sun., Sept. 2 at 10 p.m. ET on AMC.

In the News: Ways to Save on Pet Expenses
Last month, Consumer Reports released results of a survey that showed spending on pets had not dropped even during the economic downturn. And not only that, but the price of pet food, veterinary care and other pet-related products and services has actually increased in that time!
In an effort to help pet owners save money on pet expenses, they put together a list of cost-saving tips. These tips include buying pet medications from a human pharmacy instead of a veterinary office, not paying a high price for a pet food just because it includes the word 'premium' in the description, and researching new options for flea and tick prevention.
However, there is one tip that we definitely do not agree with. Consumer Reports suggested not investing in pet insurance, but instead setting aside that money every month in an emergency fund.
We know this sounds like an attractive alternative to many pet owners, but unfortunately, for many of us, it's just not practical, for many reasons. First, setting aside money every month and not spending it on other things requires a lot of self discipline. Many times, that money gets allocated to other things and isn't there in a true pet emergency. Second, if started today, it would take years to save enough to pay for cancer or other expensive treatment. What if your pet becomes seriously ill in the next couple months? You wouldn't have the funds. And third, unexpected illnesses or accidents can eat up years of savings, so if you are using the same savings account for all emergencies and need to tap it for a pet's illness, you will be financially vulnerable to the next emergency.
So, before you choose to self-insure based on the recommendation of Consumer Reports or other sources of information, make sure you thoroughly think it through. The best decision is an informed one!
So, what do you think of the tips in this report?

NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov. 18 - The United Nations Security Council convened an unusual session in Africa on Thursday on the doorstep of Sudan, to try to bring peace to that country.
But even after traveling halfway around the world to look some of the combatants in the eye, the Council found its diplomatic dance on the complicated conflicts unfolding in Sudan just as challenging as it had been back in New York.
The Council secured a pledge from the Sudanese government and a rebel movement, the Sudan People's Liberation Army, that they would sign a peace accord this year, ending a north-south war that has become the continent's longest-running conflict.
But hanging over the meeting was another military clash, the war in Darfur, in western Sudan, which has continued unabated. On Darfur, the Council continued to hedge.
Council members waved a carrot at the government, pledging international aid if it reaches a peace deal with southern rebels after 21 years of fighting. But when it came to Darfur, where the government has been accused of unleashing armed militias on the people, Council members had a hard time coming up with a stick.Continue reading the main story
Members agreed on a resolution, which they will formally endorse Friday, that suggests unspecified action against those parties that do not cease hostilities in Darfur. But critics said it was just as toothless as two past United Nations declarations. Tougher language has been rebuffed by Russia, China, Pakistan and Algeria.
It was just the fourth time that the Security Council had met outside the United States. The session was organized by John C. Danforth, the American ambassador to the United Nations and the current president of the Council. He argued that meeting in the region would put pressure on the parties to resolve the north-south war in Sudan and, as a consequence, help put out the flames in Darfur.
Whether it will have its intended effect remains to be seen.
Negotiations to end the north-south war have stretched on for three years despite strong pressure from the United States and other governments. Last year, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell visited Kenya, where the talks have been held, and secured a promise that the negotiations would finish in 2003.
On Friday, the parties are expected to sign a memorandum pledging to complete a deal by the end of 2004.
"We've heard it so many times before, so there is skepticism," acknowledged Abdallah Baali, the Algerian ambassador to the United Nations. The Sudanese government has signed numerous agreements aimed at calming the situation in Darfur, which the American government has said amounts to genocide. Still, the crisis continues. Earlier this month, Sudanese officials agreed to a cease-fire with Darfur rebels, but the deal was quickly violated.
"I regret to report that the security situation in Darfur continues to deteriorate," Secretary General Kofi Annan told the Council on Thursday, pointing the finger at "the government and its militias as well as the rebel groups."Continue reading the main story

London Mayor Boris Johnson said that he plans to run for a seat in Parliament at next year's election, ending speculation about his political ambitions.
Mr Johnson, speaking at an event at Bloomberg's European headquarters in London today, said Prime Minister David Cameron had urged him to take a decision, and that he would still serve out his term as mayor, which ends in 2016.
"We've danced around it for an awfully long time now," Mr Johnson said. "I haven't got any particular seat lined up but I do think in all probability I will try to find somewhere to stand in 2015."
Mr Johnson, who is among the favorites to succeed David Cameron as leader of the Conservative Party, made the announcement in response to a question after delivering a speech in which he said the UK has nothing to fear from leaving the European Union if it fails to reform. Mr Cameron has pledged a referendum on EU membership by 2017 and said he will campaign to stay in the bloc.
Mr Johnson said there was no connection between his speech on Europe and his decision to announce he would run for a seat in the House of Commons.

Dutch government outlines plan to ban burqas in schools
[JURIST] The government of the Netherlands on Tuesday detailed its plans to ban the burqa [JURIST news archive] in and around all primary schools, including Muslim institutions. In a letter to parliament [official website], Education Minister Ronald Plasterk [official website] predicted that a bill to prohibit the head-to-foot garment would be presented to lawmakers next year and could be enacted by 2010. He noted that the legislation would not extend to high schools or universities, which could decide on their own whether to ban the burqa, also known as a niqab, and the measure would not apply to the Muslim hijab, or headscarf. Plasterk said the ban on burqas would promote security and foster teacher-student communication. The Telegraph has more. NIS News has local coverage.
Dutch officials in January announced plans to ban burqas in schools and government offices, rejecting an alternative proposal [JURIST reports] to prohibit wearing them anywhere in public. In 2006, then-Immigration Minister Rita Verdonk announced plans to prohibit the public wearing of face coverings [JURIST report] to ensure security and promote the integration of Dutch society. The proposal was met by protests and was abandoned [JURIST reports] by Verdonk's successor following national elections. It is estimated that only 100 women among the Netherlands' 1 million Muslims wear the burqa. Elsewhere in Europe, France has banned religious clothing and symbols in public schools [JURIST report]. A German court has upheld a similar ban, and the Danish government announced plans [JURIST reports] in May to prohibit judges from wearing religious headscarves.

nice card. grats!!!
so the grey card is the new design?
is this the version with AF?
Does Barclays always pull TU only?
Two designs, the dark is the AF version. Go to http://www.barclaycardarrival.com/ for details. I did apply for the AF version since the $89 is waived the first year and a bigger bonus.
I think they are 99.99% TU pulls.
damn this is tempting! haha.
what other companies are there that are most likely going to pull TU or EQ that you would recommend?
I'm in NY, Citi exclusively pulls EQ for me and so does AmEx. Check out the site, it's a good offer 2.2 miles on every dollar when redeemed towards statement credit for travel charges. 40k miles is $400 in travel. So far I like Barclaycard.
is there any other mastercard that you would recommend as well?
in your sig i see that you already have the CSP and TYP. Do you think they're sufficient for your travel needs or the barclays is a nice addon on top?

Zeus advises on $130m sale of Brabant Pharma
3rd November 2014
Zeus Capital has advised the main shareholders of Brabant Pharma on its sale to Nasdaq-listed Zogenix, in a deal worth up to $130m.
Brabant's assets include worldwide development and commercialisation rights to BrabafenTM, which is a low-dose fenfluramine drug. It is used for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, a rare and catastrophic form of intractable epilepsy that begins in infancy. Children with Dravet syndrome experience frequent, severe and potentially life-threatening seizures that typically start in the first year of life.
Zogenix, which is quoted on Nasdaq, is a pharmaceutical company developing and commercialising products for the treatment of pain-related and central nervous system disorders.
Dan Bate, Director, Corporate Finance at Zeus Capital, commented:
"We are delighted to have been involved in this transaction which was described by Joseph Sullivan, M.D, director of the University of California at San Francisco Pediatric Epilepsy Center as being transformational for Zogenix. Alongside our legal advisory team at Eversheds Manchester led by Danny Hall and Nicola Brookes, we were able to provide the advice and support that enabled our clients to maximise value and to complete the disposal of Brabant quickly and efficiently."
Commenting on Brabafenâ"¢, Joseph Sullivan, M.D. said:
"Based on the available long-term clinical data, Brabafenâ"¢ has the potential to transform the quality of life for Dravet Syndrome patients by eliminating or reducing seizures. The prognosis for seizure control in these patients is poor and current treatment alternatives offer little benefit. However, if the current positive results are demonstrated in controlled Phase 3 clinical trials, Brabafenâ"¢ could be a breakthrough treatment for patients with this catastrophic epilepsy syndrome."

This is the second recent honor for Callies, who also just released a new publication, Development by Agreement, that explores how agreements can be used to resolve a host of land use issues. He was one of three William S. Richardson School of Law professors honored at a recent book reception at the Pacific Club.
Law School Dean Avi Soifer noted that Callies has been an exceptional member of the law faculty for many years. Soifer said: "This award is extremely fitting because it demonstrates how widely recognized and very much appreciated David is far beyond what he has done for the Law School and for Hawai'i."
Callies has published 20 books and more than 100 articles relating to land use, property, and state and local government regulations and issues. He has taught at the Law School since the 1970's and is the holder of its first professorial chair.
LAI membership represents a diverse group of professional disciplines in fields related to the ownership and use of land and buildings. With members around the globe, it enables scholars and distinguished practitioners to meet to discuss current issues involving use of land resources. LAI has chapters in key cities in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Japan, Spain, and India as well as members-at-large in many other parts of the world.
Callies in one of LAI/Hawai'i's founding members, is past president of the Aloha Chapter and he is also Pacific Rim Vice President. Callies has been instrumental in expanding its reach particularly by working with colleagues in Asia.

A political science and international relations major at St. Thomas University, June has been committed to social change since she was a young girl growing up in Kenya. Inspired by the conditions in her community, she actively works to ensure that future generations have access to basic needs and quality education. Locally she has worked with marginalized communities providing positive alternatives and outreach to increase graduation rates and to decrease substance abuse. Working with the city council, June is gaining experience through community-based research on city policies in order to help shape her goals of becoming a civically engaged lawyer. Internationally, she serves as a leader of Operation Soles, a youth program in Kenya, organizing fund raising activities to supply basic education needs (clothes, books, shoes, etc). Working in Kenya and Tanzania June conducted research to examine the root causes of health issues in this unique demographic.
"Through working toward examining root causes, June has inspired her fellow students, faculty and staff to move beyond service toward deep engagement," said University President Rev. Monsignor Franklyn Casale.

Torch is a baby Typhoomerang that appears in Season 1 of the television series, DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk.
DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of BerkEdit
In The Terrible Twos, Hiccup and his friends find a dragon in the forests of Berk, later discovering that a dragon of his size is actually a baby. Hiccup takes him home, where Stoick names him "Torch".
Back in the forest, Torch's mother discovers he is missing, and goes on a rampage, moving towards Berk in an attempt to find him. However, nobody has any knowledge of this except Toothless, who complains to Hiccup that Torch must be rid of. Hiccup doesn't listen to Toothless, thinking that he is just jealous of their new friend. Although, Toothless, sensing that Torch has a mother looking for him, convinces Hiccup and his friends to go look for her. Eventually, Torch is reunited with his mother and two siblings. As they depart, he waves goodbye to Hiccup.
Defenders of BerkEdit
Torch returned in Zippleback Down, as a full grown dragon. He found Tuffnut in a dragon trap and started to interact with him Though Tuffnut said Torch seemed familiar, he did not recognize him. They had a staring contest, roared at each other, and Tuffnut taught him some hand signals, such as spinning and opening his wings. Ruffnut showed up and was surprised. After Hiccup and Toothless crashed in the clearing, and faced against the large dragon. Hiccup then realized it was Torch. He played a vital role in putting out the forest fire and saving Berk. Torch then gave them a ride back to the village, where the others were just as surprised. Torch then left, after giving the Vikings his signature spin goodbye.
- Torch seems to have aged while the other characters still appear to be the same age as in the film.
- Since Torch is now an adult, his siblings could also be fully grown.
- Torch could have been the Typhoomerang from "Live and Let Fly" since he is full grown and no one recognized him. It could also probabl be one of his siblings or mother since they are the only know Typhoomerangs since they are a new species.
- Judging from the fact that he is full grown, it is possible Typhoomerangs grow up faster.
- Since Typhoomerangs grow up fast, it is possible his mother is either old or deceased.
- He uses his mother's model as an adult. This is proven by the fact that he is orange as a baby and his mother is red.
- In the end credits, Torch is seen wearing Hiccup's helmet.
- Tuffnut proves Typhoomerangs can be trained as he trains an adult Torch.

Tom Powell
PhD student/Associate Research Fellow
During my undergraduate masters program at Sheffield I became interested in the physiological and functional ecology of plants, and their fundamental role in the relationship between life and the planet. This led to a wider interest in the role of life and evolution within Earth system processes. My fourth year project looked at the relative influence of evolutionary history and functional ecology on the leaf nitrogen content of C3 and C4 grasses, and more widely at the tendency towards niche conservation and strong phylogenetic signals in plant lineages.
During this time I also became interested in human management of ecosystems, and its wider environmental consequences. The enormous impact of agricultural biomass harvest was an obvious field, and my third year dissertation focused on the effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 on crop yields.
My current research is a combination of these interests; looking at the effects of human land-use on Earth system processes, and possible ways to make this interaction more efficient and sustainable in the future; and also at humans as a newly evolved but very significant element in the relationship between life and the Earth.

XL Group P.L.C.'s excess liability division is set to expand its umbrella and excess liability coverage to upper middle-market businesses, the insurer announced Wednesday.
The coverage will be available in all 50 states, according to XL.
A limit has been set of up to $25 million for umbrella policies and up to $50 million for excess liability programs, according to the statement.
XL defines upper middle market as companies with annual revenues less than $1 billion.
The insurer will use its experience in providing liability coverage and umbrella protection to large corporations to offer coverage to more businesses, Lorraine Seib, New York-based president of XL global excess liability, said in the statement.
"For the upper middle market, I believe, we're the perfect size," Ms. Seib said in the statement. "Not only can we offer the individual attention they should expect when seeking quality excess protection, we also bring access to significant domestic and global capacity, combined with more than 25 years of proven experience managing excess coverage for the largest of companies and a dedicated claims team."

The 5 Ways Startup Tech Companies Lose Top Clients
Nobody likes to lose clients, but understanding the loss can help you prevent them in the future.
Your clients are responsible for keeping your business going—especially the big ones. You know the ones I'm talking about. Most of your revenue is tied up in their patronage, and if they left, you'd have to scramble to make up for the loss. Obviously, it's better to have lots of clients of this caliber, but that isn't always possible, especially for new businesses.
All you can do is minimize the chances that those major clients will leave, and the way to do that is to understand why such a client might leave in the first place:
- A major mistake. We all screw up. It happens. What matters is how you respond. Did you tell your client about the mistake proactively and scramble to make up for it? Or did you try to cover it up, lie about it, or ignore it? A little accountability goes a long way here.
- How often are you in contact with your client? Client relationships need to be nurtured over time; if you go weeks without so much as a phone call, they're going to feel neglected.
- There's a chance your client simply no longer needs your services. If this is the case, they'll depart without so much as a second thought. There isn't much you can do about this one other than to keep your services updated.
- A new competitor. When a new competitor emerges with a better service or a lower cost, you have to fight to keep your clients with new offers or better loyalty programs.
- No proof of worth. Clients come to you not as a favor, but as a value exchange. You give them something, and they give you something—if they find that what they're giving you outweighs what you're giving them, they're going to leave. Go out of your way to prove your worth with ROI statements and thorough evaluations.
If you can prevent these five motivations from manifesting, you'll have a far better chance of keeping your biggest clients around for the long haul. Customer retention is the key to success, so don't allow your business to have a revolving door policy!

Tourist traffic on the rise
Ireland's tourism industry is enjoying a remarkably healthy year. Traffic figures from America, Britain and Europe are all strong.
A feature of the current season, according to Messrs Cook's Dublin Manager, is the number of American family parties who have brought with them their own cars to facilitate travelling around the country. Their numbers have been supplemented by Irish-Americans, many of whom – second class passengers in the main – have been returning for durations of a month or two.
Ireland's scenery and its abundant places of historical interest are also proving attractive to cross-channel tourists. As if to underline the country's appeal, 3,100 passengers crossed from England on a single day last week.
'Flying visitors' from the Isle of Man are also reported to be 'coming in their thousands', many of them coming for a day and being sufficiently impressed to stay for a longer visit. Contingents have also visited from Germany and Austria, while French visitors to Ireland have also been on the increase.

A Semester in Florence
The Program
Intensive study in places of great aesthetic and historical resonance has long been an important tradition in an artist's education. To build on this tradition, MICA and Studio Art College International (SACI) have established the MICA@SACI program in Florence. This program is unique in that a MICA faculty member is in residence at SACI every semester and works intensively on site with a cohort of talented MICA students. Students combine course work in advanced, individually-directed studio with SACI's academic and studio electives.
Participation is open to all majors. The program celebrates artistic diversity and expects the highest quality of work from its students. Admission is competitive, and selected participants can look forward to working with an accomplished group of peers and experienced international faculty at SACI.
The six-credit independent studio course, under supervision of the MICA faculty member in residence, is designed to foster each student's personal direction and development. Students also choose up to three elective courses from SACI's numerous studio and academic offerings. Among SACI's many electives are courses in art conservation, fresco painting, art history (taught on site in the museums and monuments of Italy), Italian language and culture, museology, and much more – all of which complement MICA's curriculum and take full advantage of Florence's world-class artistic and cultural treasures.
Students' schedules are organized as follows:
|Independent Studio
|6 credits
|SACI Electives
|9 credits
|15 credits
All instruction is in English and no previous knowledge of Italian is required.
SACI Internships
Internships may be available in the following categories:
How to Apply:
- Complete MICA application.
- Submit an additional letter indicating your desired intern subject.
- Obtain one recommendation letter from your academic advisor supporting the internship area/subject chosen.
MICA's faculty member in residence at SACI during the fall 2016 semester is Bob Salazar.
SACI's resident faculty members are international (Italian, British, American, and more) and are experienced and expert studio artists, art historians, and educators.
SACI is housed at the 'Palazzo dei Cartelloni,' a beautifully restored Renaissance building in the center of Florence that boasts gallery and exhibition space, classrooms, a library, offices, an art conservation laboratory, media facilities, and studios that surround a large, traditional Italian garden. Facilities at SACI include dedicated MICA studio space. Students live in the city of Florence in fully furnished, self-catering apartments.
Applicants must have junior status while abroad and a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher. Qualified students are encouraged to apply.
To Apply
See Applications and Deadlines for complete application information. The deadline to apply for fall abroad is March 1 and for spring abroad is September 15.
SACI offers several competitive scholarships for semester study abroad. You will need to have filed a FAFSA form to be considered and to obtain an SAR report from MICA's Financial Aid office to submit with your study abroad application. (See MICA's Financial Aid office for more information about filing a FAFSA.) Be sure to confirm the SACI scholarship application deadline, which may be earlier than the regular semester study abroad application deadline.

Emel Filiz Ozbay
Associate Professor
Emel Filiz-Ozbay received her PhD with distinction from Columbia University in 2007 and joined the University of Maryland faculty in the same year. Her fields of interest are experimental and behavioral economics, decision theory, market design, and contract theory. She publishes her research in the leading economics journals. She conducts several auction and market design experiments to better understand the performance of different mechanisms. Her research also addresses the behavioral biases of agents in their decision making processes, and how those biases vary between agents and depending on the environment. One of her recent studies examines the effect of cognitive skills and personality traits on economic decision making in labor settings. In a different study, she and her co-authors experimentally show that lottery payments induce saving behavior of experimental subjects. She teaches microeconomic theory, behavioral economics, and experimental economics at the University of Maryland.

•Key play:
South Dakota's Trevor Gruis made a basket and added with a free throw with 1:06 left for the Coyotes' final points of the half.
•Key stat:
The Coyotes made 52.2 percent of their shots in the half.Second half
•Key play:
The Wildcats took the lead with 4:54 left on a three-pointer by Shane Southwell.
•Key stat:
The Wildcats won despite missing six of seven free throws in the last minute.Challenging Spradling
K-State senior guard Will Spradling was held scoreless against South Dakota. He missed all three of his shots and finished with four rebounds and three assists.
Wildcats coach Bruce Weber wanted more.
"Will has got to give us something on offense," Weber said. "He is too good a player. We need him to make some shots. He is getting ticky-tack fouls, and he compounds them he is too good a player for that. He is our most experienced guy. He has been through it. I think he is putting too much pressure on himself."
Weber said he yelled at Spradling during halftime for the first time during his tenure at K-State.
"I yelled at him, because he has got to be better than that, and he is better than that," Weber said. "If we are going to have success he has to step up."
• Though Thomas Gipson had 13 points and eight rebounds against South Dakota, he didn't think he played well.
Why? His defense was subpar. South Dakota big man Trevor Gruis made things look easy against Gipson in the paint. Gruis made seven of eight shots on his way to 18 points and nine rebounds. He played all 40 minutes and looked like the most dominant forward on the floor.
• Marcus Foster scored 14 of K-State's 26 points in the first half, sinking four three-pointers when his teammates were unable to find the bottom of the net.
• Omari Lawrence played a pivotal part in K-State's victory by coming off the bench to score nine points and grab five rebounds.
• Nigel Johnson scored seven points, and made some important plays in the second half for the Wildcats. But K-State coaches weren't happy with his play, mainly because of his three turnovers.

Either you or your parents can take out an education loan, but there are different programs for students and parents. If your family wants to take out a loan, start applying for financial aid, since often the most affordable loans are student loans based on need. Federal loans are restricted to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, but other loan programs are not.
Some loans, referred to as subsidized loans, do not accrue interest while you are in school. Unsubsidized loans do accrue interest that may be paid while you are in school or is added to your principal balance when you graduate.
In our award notification to you we may recommend a specific student loan amount as a part of your self-help award. However, you may borrow less or more than that amount to fit your needs.
About seven out of every ten undergraduates graduate debt-free. The average loan debt for the 29% of undergraduates who borrow is $19,819.
For all loans listed please check our Undergraduate Loans Chart or the Direct Loans from the Department of Education for the most current interest rates.
Student loans based on need
Your family has to apply for financial aid and meet the financial need guidelines for you to receive one of these loans.
This is a need-based subsidized loan that accrues no interest while you are enrolled at least half time and you may borrow up to $3,500 your first year, $4,500 your second year and $5,500 your third and fourth years. Repayment begins 6 months after graduation or if your enrollment drops below half time.
A low-interest undergraduate student loan for international students awarded by MIT on the basis of financial need. These loans will only be awarded at your request.
No co-signer is required for loans up to $3,000. For loan awards over $3,000 (max annual limit is $5,400), a creditworthy co-signer is required.
Students must be enrolled at least half-time in a degree or certificate program, not in default on prior education loan, and making satisfactory academic progress.
Interest rate is fixed at 7.0% and no interest accrues until repayment begins.
Repayment begins 9 months after graduation or withdrawal, but may be deferred while in graduate or professional school. Minimum monthly repayment is $50 and this loan must be repaid within 10 years.
Student loans not based on need
You have to apply for these loans, but there are no financial need guidelines to qualify.
This is a non-need based loan and the interest accrues while you are in school. You may borrow up to $5,500 your first year, $6,500 your second year and $7,500 your third and fourth years. These annual loan limits include amounts borrowed under a Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan. Students who are considered federally independent or whose parents are declined a PLUS Loan may borrow an additional $4,000 per year for first and second years and $5,000 per year for third and fourth years. We advise students to make interest payments as they accrue. However, if you choose not to, your interest will be capitalized at repayment and added to your principal balance.
Apply for an education loan as an U.S. student

Parent loans
A parent loan is a great way for a family to spread education expenses over time so the amount paid each month is more manageable. Parents are eligible to borrow up to the price of education minus any student financial aid, including student loans. In addition to loans from private lenders, parents may consider:
Parents may take out this non-need based loan. You may borrow up to the cost of attendance less financial aid received. Please check Direct Loans for more information and current interest rates.
Apply for an education loan as a parent
- Complete the FAFSA. If you would like to be considered for federal aid only and not complete the entire MIT financial aid application process, please email firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know.
- Complete an application online by signing in under the Manage My Direct Loan at StudentLoans.gov. MIT will receive the information electronically within 48 hours and update the student's financial aid package to reflect the PLUS loan.
- The parent borrower must sign a master promissory note online at StudentLoans.gov.
Private Loans
These are student and parent loans made from third party lenders. Ordinarily, you should not consider a private education loan unless all of your federal eligibility is exhausted because the terms and conditions of private loans, including the interest rates, are often less favorable.
Read our guide on private loans and please contact us if you have questions. Before certifying any private loan we will connect with you directly.

Whatever your line of work the opportunity to take time for recreational activities
with co-workers, away from the busy schedule is extremely valuable and proven to
enhance productivity and well being back in the office.
We believe that learning to Surf is an excellent way for teams to become empowered.
Learning an exciting adrenaline filled sport promotes a healthy sense of well being,
but also provides the canvas to foster skills of respect, encouragement and care
which translate to a greater sense of trust, compassion and humanity in the workplace.
We believe that teams usually become great teams and get the best results when they
decide to do it for themselves, not because they are told to. Bonding through learning
to Surf together is quite simply a magical way to develop this sense of unity and
We look forward to hearing from you to tailor a package to suit your specific needs.

There is lot of green in the table the real situation for this driver is not as excellent/good. Or if it is "good" then as comparison Nvidia binary driver quality is superior and high above the scale... I have had problems with Nvidia drivers but they have been solved/mitigated to usable level. Even if closed binary drivers are generally bad there are poor and usable examples.
I fully agree. If I knew this Intel chipset had only closed binary drivers I would have bought my kids another netbook. I bet there will be problems with new X.org and next Ubuntu problems.Anyway, »besides Intel Poulsbo« meant this chip is using closed drivers and is not supported by xf86-video-intel and so it does not fit into my wish list.

The problem of counting the number of self-avoiding polygons on a square grid, - therbytheirperimeterortheirenclosedarea, is aproblemthatis soeasytostate that, at ?rst sight, it seems surprising that it hasnat been solved. It is however perhaps the simplest member of a large class of such problems that have resisted all attempts at their exact solution. These are all problems that are easy to state and look as if they should be solvable. They include percolation, in its various forms, the Ising model of ferromagnetism, polyomino enumeration, Potts models and many others. These models are of intrinsic interest to mathematicians and mathematical physicists, but can also be applied to many other areas, including economics, the social sciences, the biological sciences and even to traf?c models. It is the widespread applicab- ity of these models to interesting phenomena that makes them so deserving of our attention. Here however we restrict our attention to the mathematical aspects. Here we are concerned with collecting together most of what is known about polygons, and the closely related problems of polyominoes. We describe what is known, taking care to distinguish between what has been proved, and what is c- tainlytrue, but has notbeenproved. Theearlierchaptersfocusonwhatis knownand on why the problems have not been solved, culminating in a proof of unsolvability, in a certain sense.

there is not much i can tallk about but i know some people are playing vlad wrong .theyll buy only health or only AP.having more HP doesnt mean you are not squishy but you are squishy because as long as they hit you ,youll ge hurt.i think i have solved this problem with this buils so youll have armor as well .
as long as you are the HP guy in your team you will get less damage from enemy's magic damage because you are not targeted but you have to care . if there was alot of magic damage in evemy team change the randuin's omen to spirit visage and,you will still have the cooldown.
have fun with vlad and happy halloween and vlad's new skin ;D

Salisbury Takes Division III Field Hockey Championship
Nov. 22, 2009
D-III Sidebar: Different Year, Same Story For Messiah
D-III Notebook: Getting It Done
By Bob Birge
Special to NCAA.com
SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. - Salisbury was thrilled to earn a rematch against Messiah in the championship game of the Division III field hockey tournament, and it made the most of the opportunity.
Caitlyn Walker scored the game's only goal just 3 minutes, 30 seconds into the first half Sunday as the Sea Gulls defeated previously undefeated Messiah, 1-0, at Mount Holyoke College to win the school's fifth title in the sport.
Avenging a 3-2 overtime defeat to Messiah in the regular season, Salisbury (Salisbury, Md.) captured its first crown since 2005, when the Sea Gulls (20-1) completed a run of three in a row.
"It was just exciting to come back and get a second chance (against Messiah)," Walker said. "It was our only loss of the season. To be able to play them again and get revenge, that's what every team wants after you lose to somebody."
"It's amazing," added senior forward Lauren Correll, who finished her career with 78 goals, two shy of the school record. "I couldn't ask for anything more. We've come very close the rest of the years."
Four years ago, Salisbury's opponent in the final also was Messiah, and the Sea Gulls came away with a 1-0 victory.
"We were just ecstatic to get an opportunity to play in the national championship and get another shot at Messiah," Salisbury coach Dawn Chamberlain said. "We wanted to avenge that (regular-season) loss and I think we did a nice job of that today."
Sunday's loss extended Messiah's postseason frustration, with the Falcons (22-1) once again coming up empty in their bid to win the school's first field hockey crown.
Salisbury improved to 5-0 in the title game, also winning it all in 1986, while Messiah (Grantham, Penn.) dropped to 0-7 in the finals.
"Congratulations to Salisbury," Messiah coach Jan Trapp said. "They outplayed us from the very first whistle. They played well, they went to the ball hard. They did what they needed to do."
The Falcons were making their 13th appearance in the final four under Trapp, who completed her 37th season at the school. She coached in her 703rd game Sunday, the most of any field hockey mentor in NCAA history.
Salisbury came out much sharper at the start and converted the first of its three penalty corners in the opening 10 minutes. Walker took a pass from Tara McGovern and drilled a 10-yard shot past Messiah goaltender Ashley Mowery.
"Give that credit to our assistant coach, Nick Fiorentino," Chambelain said. "He watched their warmup on their corners and he said they had a weak spot right there defending that. We called that corner and put it in right away."
After rallying from a two-goal halftime deficit to defeat Ursinus, 4-3, in the semifinals, Messiah had to feel good about its chances Sunday.
But once again, Salisbury shut down its opponent with stifling defense. The Sea Gulls won both their games here by 1-0 scores, recording their 12th and 13th shutouts of the season.
Salisbury's defense once again made life easy for sophomore goaltender Anna Cooke. She needed to make only two saves in Saturday's semifinal win over Tufts, and turned aside just three shots Sunday.
"I would like a couple more goals, it would make my heart (beat) a little slower," Cooke said. "It was a great game. Messiah played hard, but our girls, we played together. We truly are 30 strong, and it showed today."
It marked the first time since the advent of the Division III tournament that a team won games in the semifinal and final rounds by a 1-0 score. The Sea Gulls recorded shutouts in three of their four NCAA tournament games, allowing a pair of goals in a 3-2 xuarterfinal victory over SUNY Cortland.
Messiah's frustration was epitomized when Emily Hursh missed a golden scoring chance in the final two minutes of the first half. Hursh had a wide-open net, but shot the ball wide.
Salisbury overcame the loss of junior midfielders Kandice Hancock and Courtney Webster two of the team's top five scorers who suffered season-ending injuries midway through the year.
Sunday's contest was a matchup of Hall of Fame coaches. Chamberlain, finishing her 23rd season at Salisbury, won her third national title, serving as an assistant on the 1986 championship team.
Chamberlain now has a career mark of 356-90-8, guiding the Sea Gulls to 15 consecutive Capital Athletic Conference titles.

We visited the Colony House Restaurant on Feb 23, 2010. It is located at 125 West Main Street in Mechanicsburg. Although located downtown, they have their own parking lot. This place has been a fixture in town for many years, in fact their web site says that it was a tavern as early as 1810. It was known as the National Hotel for over 100 years and was also known as the Paradise Bar in the 80's( Bands & Rowdy) and is now the Colony House Restaurant. The front room in the restaurant has a very nice, modern atmosphere, however we were seated in the back room which is pretty plain-jane. The portion size was very good and Bill really liked the thick pieces of bacon. The home fries, sausage links and bacon were all cooked pretty hard, kind of well done. Bill doesn't really like all that black and dark brown stuff in his home fries from being cooked so hard, but Craig likes it that way, so we differ on that point. The eggs were good diner style, over easy with pretty large yolks, they must use large eggs or bigger. So, the breakfast was good, with nice portions, but we both agreed that the highlight of this meal was the excellent service that we received from our waitress.

Stainless Steel self locking nuts, some of the widely known designs are Aerotight, Nylock, Staytight and Philidas.
Full Stainless Steel nut with an undersized nylon insert that when fastened get deformed but not cut by the mating thread that creates a lock that will also dampen the vibrations between the thread and the nut, this also provides a moisture and gas seal. As the nylon insert gets deformed not cut by the mating thread it can be re-used a limited number of times.
Unlike the all-metal locking nuts the nylon locking nut can be affected by high temperatures so please consider one of our other all metal locking nuts if this could be the case.
