In this dissertation, interdisciplinary research demonstrates how Chinese people affiliated with different religions and ideologies of the Song period (960-1279 CE) utilized artistic, literary and visual representations to merge the natural world with the human body. This fusion of natural and human worlds in representation appears in a variety of contexts, including paintings of famous Song landscape artists, writings of literati thinkers, architectural developments of Neo-Confucian scholars, body charts recorded in the Daoist Canon, and artwork connected to Chinese Buddhism. Traditionally, scholarship within the field of religious studies relies heavily upon textual sources, and material objects are often seen as accessory to the findings related to these sources. When found within the context of religion, art objects are in this same vein often described as representational as opposed to foundational of religious experience or its aspects. This thesis asserts that Song Chinese people used art and other material objects not only for the purpose of representing the world in which they lived, but also as a means of expressing, developing and empowering their religions and ideologies. So powerful were these material representations, in fact, that in certain cases they may have acted as a primary conduit through which the religion was experienced. As the dissertation will show, the interaction between the non-material activity of visualization, or how people create images in their minds, and representation, or how people create material objects to reify the images in their minds, is often pivotal, as opposed to accessory, to some of the later ideological developments of the Chinese people. This thesis also examines sacred space of the Song period, theorizing that an important spatial synergy took place between physical representations and the religions of medieval China: images had become intertwined with how different groups of people visualized their bodies, as well as how these groups represented a human relationship at work with the natural world. In essence, Song representations of mountains, landscape and other natural formations act as material records of how people visualized their own bodies in microcosmic and macrocosmic form.

The Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show returns to the Dubai Creek Marina from 9th – 11th November 2017, with a not-to-be-missed LobsterFest and a host of new family-friendly activities.
Sponsored by Noor Takaful, the 2017 edition promises to excite visitors even more than before. While the show will see great deals and opportunities for boat buyers and sellers alike, there is something for the whole family to enjoy over the event weekend.
"We're thrilled to host the annual Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show for theeighth consecutive year – an event that has become a pillar of the Dubai event calendar.

The festivities kick-off at 4pm on Thursday, 9th November, with the newly introduced LobsterFest – a dedicated area within the event where guests can load-up on a variety of tasty lobster dishes from just AED 45. Entertainment will commence at 6:30pm and continue into the evening.
On the Friday morning, things get off to an early start with the ever-entertaining dragon boat races, starting at 7am.

|Header Material: Stainless Steel

|Emissions: Racing Only
- Increase up to 12-15 hp
- 1.5" primary tune / 2.5" collector
- Dramatically improved exhaust flow compared to restrictive stock system
- Improved engine breathing enables increased power output for better performance
- Made of high quality T-201 stainless steel
- All tubes mandrel bent for consistent exhaust flow
- Comes complete with hardware and gaskets
The appeal of a race car isn't just the speed, it's also the sound of power. Let's face it, we don't go to the race track to spend a quiet afternoon! Power, speed, and sound go hand in hand, and if your car sounds like just another grocery getter, no matter how well it performs, you're missing out. The sound of power is part of the visceral feel of high-performance driving.
Luckily it's easy to solve this dilemma with a high-performance exhaust system from Spec-D. Compared to the restrictive and quiet as a church stock system, a Spec-D system will let your engine breathe, letting out hidden horsepower and powerful sound. The Spec-D system has large diameter, mandrel bent tubes. Mandrel bending ensures smooth bends and makes sure the pipe maintains its size and shape throughout the entire length. Tubes that aren't mandrel bent can lose a percentage of their diameter in sharp bends, creating restriction. These tubes are connected to a large capacity free-flowing muffler for the lowest restriction and best sound possible.
Both the pipes and muffler are made of long-lasting, corrosion resistant stainless steel so you'll get many years and miles of performance and enjoyment. You'll also get admiring looks thanks to the polished or titanium exhaust tip. The system comes with all hardware and gaskets for a trouble-free installation, and it's backed by a 6-month warranty.
Spec-D Tuning®, based in Walnut, California, provides high-performance and cutting-edge styling parts and accessories for every part of your car, including engine, suspension, lighting, exterior, and interior. Since their inception in 2003, Spec-D's goal has been to provide a higher level of excellence and service to their customers. They consistently achieve this with a staff of knowledgeably employees who stay on top of trends and changes in the marketplace to make sure they can supply you with the latest, best performing and best looking parts and accessories, at affordable prices.

Diverse field set for Illinois Women's Open
The 19th Phil Kosin Illinois Women's Open, which tees off Wednesday at Mistwood in Romeoville, has taken a different approach from the men's 64th Illinois Open, which had one of its most exciting stagings last week at The Glen Club in Glenview.
The men's version, won by Antioch's Joe Kinney in a three-hole playoff, is much bigger entry-wise with seven statewide qualifying rounds conducted to determine the finalists. The Illinois PGA limits Illinois Open entries to state residents.
On the women's side, the field is smaller but much more diverse. In its early years IWO founder Phil Kosin limited the field to state residents, then later expanded it to players from eight neighboring states.
Mistwood owner Jim McWethy and his staff took over the IWO after Kosin's death in 2009 and quietly accepted all players. The move paid off, as tourney entries topped 100 for the first time this year and included 43 professionals.
"That's almost double the number of professionals we have had in the past," said Dan Phillips, Mistwood's director of golf. "Even the amateurs are basically scratch players. We've got the cream of the crop of amateurs, too. Word is out that this is a quality tournament."
Thanks to BMO's sponsorship, first prize last year climbed to $5,000, and this year's purse will be announced during the 54-hole competition that concludes on Friday. Last year's winner, though, was Michigan amateur Samantha Troyanovich, who will defend her crown.
The new influx of pros include two-time winner Nicole Jeray and Chelsea Harris, both U.S. Women's Open qualifiers; McKenzie Jackson, who was part of "Big Break Mexico," the popular series on The Golf Channel; plus Mari Chun from Hawaii and Sarah Bradley from New Zealand.
"We have players from all across the country and beyond," said Phillips. "Most every (professional) player has some kind of status on either the LPGA or Symetra tours. Opening up the entries has really made our field strong."
Suttie joins Mistwood staff
The IWO usually represents the biggest week of the season at Mistwood, but this time there was more going on than that. Mistwood owner Jim McWethy announced that //www.facebook.com/pages/Dr-Jim-Suttie-Golf-Academy/141003272592709">Dr. Jim Suttie, one of the country's best-known instructors, has joined the Mistwood teaching staff.
Suttie was the PGA of America's national teacher-of-the-year in 2000 and Illinois PGA teacher-of-the-year three times. He ended a long-standing relationship with Cog Hill, in Lemont, to work at the new state-of-the-art Performance Center in Romeoville.
"That was the big overriding factor," said Suttie. "Cog Hill has been really good for me, but I always wanted to have a place like this. I couldn't pass it up."
Suttie, who had previous stints at Medinah and at Green Garden in Frankfort, worked at Cog Hill from 1996-2002 and again from 2005 until moving to Mistwood. He'll continue to work in Naples, Fla., in the winter but is planning periodic teaching visits to both Mistwood and McQ's -- the McWethy-owned indoor facility in Bolingbrook.
Did you know?
Doug Ghim, of Arlington Heights, reached the semifinals of last week's 66th U.S. Junior Championship in Truckee, Calif. He was eliminated by Scottie Scheffler, of Dallas, 6 and 4. Scheffler went on to capture the prestigious title.
Jason Mathus, a Chicago resident who attends high school at Lindbloom, will get a chance to compete at Pebble Beach with Champions Tour players thanks to his efforts with the First Tee of Greater Chicago. He was one of 80 junior players selected by a national panel of judges to participate in September's Nature Valley First Tee Open.
There'll be two big local championships on Monday. The //ilpga.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/ilpga13/event/ilpga1329/index.htm">Illinois PGA Assistants will determine their champion at River Forest and the Chicago District Super Senior Amateur event will be played at Royal Hawk in St. Charles.

The access flag is the bitmask which specifies the access type
of the given control. The default access type is
which means both read and write are allowed to this control.
When the access flag is omitted (i.e. = 0), it is
considered as
READWRITE access as default.
When the control is read-only, pass
SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_ACCESS_READ instead.
In this case, you don't have to define
put callback.
Similarly, when the control is write-only (although it's a rare
case), you can use the
WRITE flag instead, and
you don't need the
get callback.
If the control value changes frequently (e.g. the VU meter),
VOLATILE flag should be given. This means
that the control may be changed without
notification. Applications should poll such
a control constantly.
When the control is inactive, set
INACTIVE flag, too.
There are

Native controller drivers
Hi, I have an adaptec 29320LPR scsi controller card.
The adaptec site states that the drivers for this controller are native in the Windows Vista CD, could this possibly mean that they will be present in the W7 bublic beta build?
If not, I have Vista x64 drivers ready to install :)

This doesn't necessarily mean they would be built-in in Windows 7, but it gives it a very big chance.
However, having the Vista drivers handy as you do is strongly suggested.

Flying the Flag!
We're pretty patriotic here at Vintage Home and are proud to fly the Union Jack! (Apparently, I am informed that it is only called the Union Jack when flown at sea, when flown on land, it should be referred to as the Union Flag!) But I digress! I think it's a wonderful design and you will have seen some interesting versions of it this season, both on the fashion scene and in the world of home furnishing! We have been playing around with some bag and cushion designs and thought we'd share them with you. Here is a super-size shopper, it's proved very useful for trips to flea markets and antique fairs! It has some lovely detail in it and is made from several vintage fabrics - and not just English textiles...!
This gorgeous old 1940s fabric with pretty blue poppies and yellow foxgloves against a stunning red background is French!
It has been lined with the same pretty English barkcloth we used for the windows in the clock house, and there are a couple of handy pockets for those essential bits and pieces.
I added this pretty pansy brooch as a finishing touch and I'm keeping a look out for some more colourful old brooches - this is such a bright and cheerful bag so I think it will become a firm favourite!
This is our cushion version of the Union Jack.
This is made from some really lovely old fabrics and crochet trim. It was a new addition to the website but has now been sold, although we may be adding a new design soon!
Before I go, I must thank Sairer, who very kindly named me as one of the 'Five Blogs that make her Day!'
My apologies for the delay in responding Sairer, I am really chuffed to have received the award! I would also like to thank every one for the amazing response to our recent website updates; we are busy preparing our latest goodies for the shop so I think I had better get back to work - have a wonderful week!

Sharapova wins first match after return from doping ban
Former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova is coming back from a 15-month doping ban. Photograph: (AFP)
Maria Sharapova marked her return from a 15-month doping ban on Wednesday with a rusty 7-5, 6-3 win over Roberta Vinci in Stuttgart, describing victory as the "best feeling in the world".
Sharapova, the former world number one and five-time Grand Slam champion, brushed off a nervous start to eventually claim a convincing win on her controversial comeback having tested positive for meldonium at the 2016 Australian Open.
"It's the best feeling in the world to walk out (on court), it's been a stage of mine since I was a young girl and it was very special," said Sharapova who celebrated her win with a succession of fist pumps and a broad smile before blowing kisses to all corners of the Porsche Arena.
"I have been waiting for this a long time."
Sharapova was given a wildcard to play in Stuttgart tournament, where she has been champion three times, a move which drew a barrage of criticsm from rivals who believed she was receiving preferential treatment.
She fired 39 winners and 11 aces past 34-year-old Vinci, one of many to have voiced her concerns over the Russian benefitting from wildcards.
After receiving warm applause from the crowd, which included one fan who held up a Russian flag bearing the words 'Welcome back Maria, Sharapova, dressed in an orange top and lilac-coloured dress, initially struggled.
She quickly found herself 2-0 down before she broke back to level at 2-0.
As was to be expected after her long break, Sharapova laboured to find her shots and Vinci profited from several mistakes.
But the 30-year-old Russian started to move her Italian opponent around the court and found her range with a pair of aces.
Sharapova finally broke the Italian in the 11th game and then held her service, converting her second set point in exactly an hour.
Vinci had lost to Sharapova in both their previous meetings and the Italian trailed from 2-0 down in the second set on Wednesday.
Sharapova quickly moved to 5-3 ahead up with an ace and extended her domination in the following game, racing into a 40-0 lead and converted her first match point for victory in one hour, 45 minutes.
"I've been doing this for so long and this was my first match for a while, so when you are in the moment, you block everything else out," said Sharapova.
"I'm competitive by nature, even when things aren't working out.
"That's when I am at my best, when I forget about everything, just be me and just compete."
Sharapova will now play fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova in Thursday's second-round.
"It's going to be tough, but every match I play now is important for me," she said.
"It's important to just play, it's a journey and it officially starts for me today and I am looking forward to playing as many matches as I can."

I relish readers who ask me to go looking for the perfect something or other.
In 2013, readers sent me searching for the crispiest fish and chips, sloppiest meatball sandwiches and cheesiest chile rellenos.
I start 2014 with a mighty mission: to find the perfect hot pastrami sandwich.
Tacoma reader Jack Green sent me his must-have list for a hot pastrami sandwich. His hallmarks mirror mine: a sandwich piled high with pastrami of the juicy variety, made purely of rye bread and meat, although a pickle and mustard are an occasional nice addition.
Around Tacoma, I had a tough time finding straightforward hot pastramis made to Green's specifications requiring the most basic trifecta of pastrami and mustard on rye. That's a sandwich you would easily find in other parts of this country, with or without add-ins such as Swiss, kraut, slaw or pickles.
I had far less trouble finding something here that might make East Coasters cringe: pastrami Reubens, a sandwich typically made with corned beef East of here. The difference between the meats is somewhat subtle – there seem to be as many methods for producing them as there are raindrops in Washington – but in general, pastrami is cured and smoked while corned beef is brined and steamed. In the end? They're both delicious piles of brisket.
Today's review – dedicated to Green – is a collection of the best pastrami sandwiches I could find broken into two categories: bare bones hot pastramis with simple additions of cheese, mustard or pickles, and some versions of a pastrami Reuben made with kraut, puckery dressing, melted Swiss and some other twist. I've also got honorable mentions.
I found feasting upon nine pastrami sandwiches in about a month was pushing my limit. I'm sure I missed some good ones. Have a favorite pastrami sandwich? Let News Tribune readers know. Call me at 253-597-8270 or email email@example.com
Three pastrami Reubens to try, each with an unusual twist.

1. Foley's On The Green
7108 Lakewood Drive W., Tacoma; 253-473-3033,metroparkstacoma.org/golf-foleys
The Andres sandwich at Foley's On The Green – a great restaurant find at Tacoma's Meadow Park golf course – was a purely delicious Reuben sandwiching a secret weapon: a fried egg.The Andres gets my highest consideration for perfect construction that held up to the last bite. Melted Swiss glued together smoky, thin-shaved pastrami and broadly-sliced 'kraut on grilled marbled rye. I loved the extra level of flavor from the over-medium fried egg and the pronounced tang in the Thousand Island dressing.
with fries, chips or tots.Fun fact:
The Andres is a nod to Olympia professional golfer Andres Gonzales' favorite sandwich. Gonzales is a friend of Jason Follen and Ryan Welborn, former Golden State Tour pros and co-owners of Foley's. They cheekily include a shades and 'stache icon of Gonzales on the menu.

2. The Swiss Restaurant and Pub
1904 Jefferson Ave., Tacoma; 253-572-2821,theswisspub.com
The Swiss Restaurant and Pub in Tacoma injected flavor into its grilled sandwich with a double puff of smoke: It used triple layers each of pastrami and ham, which proved to be perfect smoky companions for the grilled marble rye with melted Swiss, griddled onions, a sweetened 'kraut licked with dill and a tangy Thousand Island.$9.99
with fries or tots, or pay the extra buck for a sublime warm German potato salad laced with bacon and vinegar.

3. Netshed No. 9
3313 Harborview Drive, Gig Harbor; 253-858-7175.It's too deconstructed to be considered a Reuben, which is why Netshed No. 9's pastrami panini was instead coined "Rubenesque" on the menu. Double layers of smoky pastrami got pucker from pickles, not kraut. Sharpness came from Beecher's cheese curds and marinated tomatoes. The panini dripped punchy flavored mayo down my wrist – a nice touch. The sandwich came on rosemary ciabatta.$10
with chips.
Hot pastramis
The plain Jane hot pastrami proved elusive, but here are three stellar styles of that East Coast favorite:

4. Top of Tacoma
3529 McKinley Ave. E., Tacoma; 253-272-1502,topoftacoma.com
Top of Tacoma's New York-style pastrami panini was built on thick-cut sourdough from Macrina Bakery and layered with medium-thick smoky pastrami. Deli mustard and white cheddar added a sock of flavor along with thin-sliced pickle chips.$8
with chips.Bonus: Try the Top's Rainier Reuben ($8.50) with pastrami, cider-braised kraut and housemade Russian dressing with a tinge of horseradish.

5. Stanley and Seafort's
115 E. 34th St., Tacoma; 253-473-7300,stanleyandseaforts.com
I was enamored with the unusual hot pastrami at the restaurant with Tacoma's finest view, Stanley and Seafort's. Several meaty layers of thinly shaved pastrami came on lightly toasted rye with the quirky Pittsburgh-style addition of fries tucked into the sandwich. Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and a smear of whole-grain mustard locked in crunch and tang.$13.95
with chips or fries.

Sometimes simplicity wins, and Rock The Dock on the Foss waterway nailed the basics with lots of pastrami and Dijon on grilled dark rye. Skip the cheese, or get it as the Rock The Dock kitchen recommends: with pepper jack. That restaurant should be on your radar for reliable sandwiches and brew.$8.99
with tots or fries.

Another Interview with Chace CrawfordSteve Marsi at . Comments
Q: How did you get involved with Gossip Girl then?
CC: Well I switched agents last November and I came back from Christmas and I had a little meeting with my agent to talk about the new upcoming "pilot season." I got handed a couple of scripts, because I didn't know which one would work out for me. I saw that Gossip Girl was created by Josh Schwartz, but little did I know how insanely popular this series of books were with younger gals.
The first read I thought Nate was totally attainable for me and something I was interested in. I went in prepared and met with Josh and Stephanie, the director, and casting director, and I guess they liked me. I went in again and again to audition. The key was trying to get Les Moonves, President of CBS, on my side. He was the final check mark in signing me off to play this role. I went in to read about six times.
I shot a few scenes and that was that. It was great. We shot the pilot in March, now doing all of this press, and the show premieres on Wednesday. It's kinda crazy.
Q: Was there something about the character that you liked or that interested you?
CC: I would like to play a little bit more humor in the future. But for now, Nate has these endearing qualities to him. He makes the right decisions at the end of the day. He's just a good guy. He always has Chuck over his shoulder, trying to pull him in the wrong direction, though. But it's pretty cool to play a high school character that you can still relate to the pressures of being conflicted on college choices and being forced to go to his father's college and the girl situation. It can be too much sometimes.
I think it's a nice window into the lives of obviously very extraordinary situated teenagers, but these characters are also relatable in certain situations. That is what makes it entertaining. There are some interesting storylines to follow and stories that everyone can relate to.

Memorial Day a great time to appreciate a hero -- my dad
Some call Memorial Day weekend the real beginning of summer. In fact, I subscribe to that notion, as wrong as that might be. And, I guess this weekend means different things to different people. For me, Memorial Day holds a special place in my heart because I can't help but to think of my dad.
My dad's gone now, but we were always close. I always looked up to him. Jake could do no wrong in my eyes. Well, there were those few times when he took me to task with his teaching tool (belt). But when you are a kid, you don't know your dad like other people know him. He's just your dad. As a kid, you don't spend a lot of time deciding if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's just the way it is. I don't remember wasting a lot of time on philosophy.
I do remember, however, that one of Dad's friends came up to me one day and said, "I just wanted you to know that your father is a great American hero. I served with him in World War II, and he probably saved my life a time or two. There are not many men who can measure up to Jake Williamson."
I was so stunned by this testimony that I didn't even ask why he thought my dad was a hero. In fact, I wasn't even sure what it took to be a hero. Was saving a man's life what it took to be a hero? That's a question I still have a hard time answering. I've seen acts by individuals that I thought were heroic and that's enough for me to declare heroism.
As time went along, I began to discover that my dad really could fit the bill as an American hero. Rummaging around in an old garage we had, I discovered an old Nazi infantry helmet. That was a pretty good sign he had seen combat. Then he happened to mention he had made the night amphibious landing in Salerno, Italy. I saw part of that beach this past summer on a trip to the Mediterranean.
My dad didn't talk much about the war, but he did own a pistol he took from a German officer in Italy. He also had a drawer full of medals, including two sliver stars and two purple hearts. I also learned he had been given a rare battlefield commission, jumping from the enlisted ranks to the officer corps. He also carried around a back full of shrapnel from his Army days. These very facts would attest to hero status in my opinion.
So one day, I finally got up enough courage to ask Dad if he was a great American hero. I told him one of the guys he works with thought he was. My dad carefully weighed the question and proudly answered, "I guess I am, Terry. I think anyone who is willing to give his life for this great nation should be considered a hero. I know a lot of great heroes, and you should be thankful for each and every one of them. They paid the price so we can go water skiing this afternoon."
I later served a combat tour in Vietnam, so I began to understand what my dad had gone through in WWII. I know a lot of heroes and Dad stands right there with them. I learned the meaning of sacrifice and duty, and I saw some of those called who shirked that responsibility. I don't know how they can enjoy the fruits of this country.
When I got home from Vietnam, Dad took me aside and briefly said, "I'm proud of who you have become and who you are." That's when I knew what a hero was. It was more than medals and shrapnel in the back. It was Dad -- and he cared.
On Memorial Day, maybe you could tell your daughters and sons that you are proud of what they have become and who they are. Then you truly are reaping the rewards of those who paid the price for the joys of just being family.
I'm not wise enough to deliver any real philosophy here, but Memorial Day is more than remembering our lost veterans. It is about the living and the freedom we all share while standing on the foundation of past heroes. They are still among us.

Main Menu
Federal regulations require institutions to establish minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress for students receiving federal, state, and/or institutional financial aid. In the determination of satisfactory academic progress, all course work is considered, whether or not the student received financial aid at the time the work was completed.
Academic progress for all aid recipients is reviewed at the conclusion of the spring semester. If a student has not met all of the requisite standards, the student will either have to submit an appeal or lose eligibility for federal and state aid. Students who submit a successful appeal with have their aid eligibility reinstated for one probationary semester. If, at the conclusion of the probationary semester, the student has still not achieved the required level of progress, the student will be deemed ineligible to receive financial aid during the following semester. If, at the conclusion of the probationary semester, the student has successfully met the standards of progress, the student will return to "good standing" and will remain eligible for financial aid. The standards for determining satisfactory academic progress at Monmouth University for federal and state funding are measured along three dimensions: cumulative grade point average, pace, and total number of credits completed. To remain in good standing for federal and state financial aid, a student must meet each of the following three requirements:
Consistent with the general academic requirements of the University, undergraduate students must meet the following grade point average requirements to retain their eligibility for financial aid:
Consistent with the general academic requirements of the Graduate School, graduate students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 to retain their eligibility for financial aid.
Pace – All students must successfully complete at least 67% of the credit hours for which they enroll/attempt. Note that repeated courses and course work assigned a grade of "W," "WF," "F," or "I" will not be counted as hours completed toward graduation, but will be counted as an attempted course. Course work taken at the developmental level (i.e., courses numbered "050") will also be counted as hours attempted and, if the student successfully completes the course, as completed hours; a student may not receive financial aid for more than 30 credit hours of remedial work. Students receiving credit for courses transferred from another institution will have those credits counted as both attempted and completed credits.
The maximum number of credits an undergraduate student may attempt and receive funding for is 192. This figure is 150% of the published number of credits (128) required to complete an undergraduate degree program. Graduate students may attempt and receive funding for 150% of the published number of credits required to complete the degree, certificate or endorsement program. Financial aid recipients who have not completed their degree, certificate or endorsement program within the maximum number of credits are ineligible for further federal or state funding, although they may submit an appeal to have their eligibility reinstated.
Undergraduate students who receive institutional aid must maintain at least the minimum cumulative grade point average associated with their particular award. If a student has not met the academic standards for their particular award, the student is encouraged to submit an appeal to have their eligibility reinstated. If an appeal is not submitted, the student will receive an automatic reduction in their award. When students have met the required standards for original award, they may appeal to have that award reinstated. Graduate students receiving institutional aid must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. Students who do not meet this requirement will automatically be given one semester on probation. If, at the conclusion of the probationary semester, the student has not met the required grade point average, their award will be removed. There are no further avenues of appeal for graduate students.
When a student is deemed ineligible for financial aid (e.g., failing to meet the standards of progress at the conclusion of the spring semester), the student will be provided with written notification of his or her ineligibility by the Financial Aid Office. The student will have the opportunity to submit a written appeal of this determination. All such appeals should be submitted to the Associate Director of Financial Aid.
Circumstances that might merit an appeal include, but are not limited to: serious illness or injury to the student or a member of the student's immediate family, a death in the immediate family, or other special circumstances outside the student's control. Supporting documentation of the circumstances forming the basis for the student's appeal must be submitted with the appeal. Students who have been deemed ineligible in a prior semester, but who have since improved their performance to the required level are also encouraged to submit an appeal for the reinstatement of their aid; a student's aid will not be automatically re-instated.
The Associate Director of Financial Aid will review the appeal, and may elect to either grant the student a one semester probationary period, grant the student a one semester probationary period and require the student to agree to an academic plan, or uphold the determination of ineligibility (e.g., cancel the student's financial aid). Academic plans will only be used for appeals related to pace and maximum time frame. The Financial Aid Office will provide the student with the academic plan, and the student is required to return a signed copy of it to the Financial Aid Office; funding will not be restored to the student's account until the plan has been received.
A probationary period may not last more than one semester. If, at the conclusion of the probationary semester, the student has not met the standards for academic progress, their awards will be removed. Throughout the duration of their enrollment, students may submit a maximum of two appeals based upon the same circumstance. Additional appeals must include a description of what circumstances have changed that would enable the student to meet satisfactory academic progress by the conclusion of one probationary semester and the allowability of such appeals will be determined on a case by case basis.
Students submitting an appeal will be provided written notification of the decision. Documentation of the student's ineligibility and any subsequent appeals is maintained within the student's financial aid record. Students who cease enrollment at the University and subsequently re-enroll will be evaluated based upon their status at the point enrollment ceased.
The federal government mandates that students who withdraw from all classes may only keep the financial aid they have "earned" up to the time of withdrawal. Title IV funds that have been disbursed in excess of the earned amount must be returned by the University and/or the student to the federal government. Thus the student could owe aid funds to the University, the government, or both.
A student is considered to have officially withdrawn when (s)he notifies the University of his or her intent to withdraw from all classes. The date of the official notice is considered the last date of attendance and will be the date used for calculating the amount of financial aid to be returned. A student who receives a combination of "F" and/or "W" grades at the end of a semester is considered unofficially withdrawn. Instructors report the last recorded date of attendance for the student. This will be the date used for calculating the amount of financial aid to be returned to the Federal Government.
To determine the amount of aid the student has earned up to the time of withdrawal (either official or unofficial), the Financial Aid Office (FAO) divides the number of calendar days the student has attended classes by the total number of calendar days in the semester (minus any scheduled breaks of 5 days or more). The resulting percentage is then multiplied by the total federal funds that were disbursed for the semester; institutional funds, state funds, and alternative loans will be prorated in the same manner. (Note that if the student remains enrolled and attends class beyond the 60% mark of the semester in which aid is received, all federal aid is considered earned and not subject to a refund calculation.)
This calculation determines the amount of aid earned by the student that he or she may keep (for example, if the student attended 25% of the term, the student will have earned 25% of the aid disbursed). The unearned amount (total aid disbursed minus the earned amount) must be returned to the federal government by the University and/or the student. The FAO will notify and provide instructions to students who are required to return funds to the government.
Funds that are returned to the federal government are used to reimburse the individual federal programs from which the student received the aid. Financial aid returned (by the University and/or the student or parent) must be allocated, in the following order, up to the net amount disbursed from each source:
It is also possible that the student may have "earned" the aid, but it was not yet disbursed to the student's account. Post-withdrawal disbursement occurs when the student receives less federal student aid than the amount earned (based on withdrawal date). The FAO will determine if the student is entitled to a post-withdrawal disbursement and will then offer, in writing, a disbursement of the earned aid that was not received. All post–withdrawal disbursement offers will be made within 30 days of the date Monmouth determined that the student withdrew. The student must respond within 14 days from the date that the University sends the notification to be eligible to receive the post-withdrawal disbursement. If the student does not respond to the University's notice, no portion of the post-withdrawal disbursement that is not credited to the students account may be disbursed. The student may accept or decline some or all of the post-withdrawal disbursement. Accepted post-withdrawal disbursements will be made from aid programs in the following order:
Students whose circumstances require that they withdraw from all classes are strongly encouraged to contact FAO and their academic advisor before doing so. At that time, the consequences of withdrawing from all classes can be explained and clearly illustrated. Financial aid counselors can provide refund examples and further explain this policy to students and parents.
Students who withdraw from the University may also be entitled to a refund of a portion of their tuition, fees, and room/board charges, dependent upon the point in time at which the student withdraws. Click here to view detailed information on the University's tuition, fee, and room/board policies.
Students must follow the procedures for requesting an approved Leave of Absence, as outlined in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Students should be aware that, although a LOA will preserve their academic curriculum of record, temporarily interrupting their program of study may have consequences. Specifically, taking a LOA may reduce or exhaust the student's loan repayment grace period. Students who have loans and who are considering a LOA should contact the Financial Aid Office to further discuss their particular circumstances.
Students and their families may find themselves in extreme circumstances beyond their control and that adversely impact their financial status, but that are not reflected on the financial aid application (FAFSA). Examples of such circumstances include, but are not limited to: loss of employment, loss of untaxed income or benefit, divorce or separation after FAFSA completion, unreimbursed paid medical expenses. The federal financial aid regulations allow us, with proper documentation, to consider such circumstances and re-evaluate a student's eligibility for federal and/or state funding. To request a review of their particular circumstances, students should complete the "Special Circumstances Request for Review" form and supply the appropriate documentation. If you need assistance in completing the form or understanding what constitutes acceptable documentation, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 732-571-3463 or via e-mail at email@example.com. Please note that submission of a request for review is not a guarantee that additional funding will be offered.

UCLA Takes Home Second Place After 7-1 Loss at Second-Ranked Cal State Fullerton
March 2, 2003
Fullerton, CA - The Bruins (10-10) fell short of capturing the Kia Baseball Bash championship, dropping a 7-1 contest to the second-ranked Cal State Fullerton Titans (14-1) on Sunday evening in front of 2, 057 fans at Goodwin Field. Bruin first baseman Wes Whisler was named the Kia Baseball Bash co-Outstanding Player after recording two home runs, five runs and four RBI in three games.
The Titans got on the board in the first inning when Justin Smyres led-off the inning with a single and would advance to second on an error. A sacrifice bunt from Justin Turner would send Smyres to third. He would score on a ground out, to give Fullerton a 1-0 lead after an inning.
Led by three doubles and three singles, the Titans put up six runs in the bottom of the second inning to increase their advantage to 7-0. Reliever Doug Silva took over for starter Whisler, who lasted 1.2 innings, to retire the final Fullerton batter of the inning.
UCLA scored in the top of the fifth after Hector Ambriz led off with a single to left field. He would advance to third on two consecutive ground outs. Matt Thayer drove Ambriz home with an RBI-single up the middle. Thayer would go to second on an error, but would not be able to score when Preston Griffin grounded out to end the inning.
Silva quieted the Fullerton arsenal in the middle innings. He did not allow a run and only gave up two hits in 5.1 innings of work.
Chris Cordeiro continued the dominance of the Bruin bullpen in the eighth inning, facing four batters and not allowing a run.
Ambriz led UCLA with two hits and one run, while Thayer went 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Fullerton second baseman Jason Corapci was also a Co-Outstanding Player of the tournament while Titan hurler Ryan Schreppel was the tournament's Oustanding Pitcher.
UCLA will return to action on Tuesday when it travels to Loyola Marymount for a mid-week match-up. Game time is set for 2:00 p.m.

Labor of Love 2017
We do it #ForBenny!
This is Benny. 7th Grader at Lincoln, lover of video games, St. Baldrick's ambassador, and all around remarkable kid. We cannot wait to honor Benny and his unstoppable determination this year as our 2017 Labor of Love recipient.
Watch Benny in action as he fights and inspires hope! Benny's video
Watch and share Benny's Story*!
*Video made by Mr. Taglia, Lincoln Middle School Teacher
We would like to invite you to become part of something very special in our community. The Park Ridge Newcomers Club's (PRNC) "Labor of Love" is an annual philanthropic event organized by Club members in which the proceeds benefit a selected recipient. This year our Labor of Love will be held on Saturday, April 1st at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont.
Our recipient is 12-year old Benny Martinez, a student with a big heart and a love of Nintendo at Lincoln Middle School in Park Ridge, who is battling a cancerous brain tumor. Per the Martinez family wishes, our Labor of Love is raising money for a study in Benny's name on childhood brain tumors in partnership with the St. Baldrick's Foundation; a portion of the money raised (15%) will go towards Benny's medical expenses. St. Baldrick's is very special to Benny and his family as you will read below…
Benny is a smart, funny 12-year-old boy who was diagnosed and immediately underwent surgery to remove a cancerous brain tumor while on spring break with his family this past March. Just eleven days before, Benny was recognized as the top fundraiser in the 6th grade at his school's St. Baldrick's fundraiser to help kids with childhood cancer and had shaved his head in solidarity with those struggling with childhood cancer. Benny was generously helping other kids while never imagining he would soon be the one needing assistance.
Will you join us in our effort to support Benny?
There are so many ways to participate.
As part of our Labor of Love, we will be hosting a silent auction/raffle and would greatly appreciate your donation of a product or service. We also have an event program booklet where you can purchase an ad. Sponsorships for the event are also available at various levels.

IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. --More than 40 surfing dogs unleashed on some waves Saturday in San Diego County's Imperial Beach.
The canines took part in the "2013 Loews Surf Dog Competition - Unleashed by Petco."
YouTube sensation Tillman also showed up to the 8th-annual competition. The English bulldog from Huntington Beach is usually on his skateboard, but he ditched it to show off his surfing skills. Tillman won first place in the large dog category.
Dogs weren't the only ones having a good time. More than 3,000 people hit the sand for a little fun in the sun.
The event raised close to $20,000 for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
ABC News contributed to this report.

Did you know there were different types of participative finance? You can now not only invest without the banks, but also chose an investment that will help you get involved in a whole different way.
Social lending or the philanthropy 2.0
The donation-based crowdfunding is the 1st type that emerged on the Internet, through websites such as JustGiving, where people support financially projects and causes that they care about, without any other retribution than personal satisfaction.
Free estimate : Discover the daily investment opportunties opportunities by clicking here!
Through micro credit or social lending, people from disadvantaged backgrounds or countries are given an opportunity to raise funds for business ventures or to better their lives and communities. Companies such as Kiva have allowed individuals to grow their businesses, fund their medical expenses or better their living conditions through micro loans and microfinance. Zidisha is another micro credit peer to peer lending company which has assisted in boosting communities and entrepreneurs. To date they have raised $4.7m and funded 21,190 projects.
Crowdfunding, the reward-based funding
Crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo rely on donation-based funding to start your own campaign to raise funds. In return investors gain tangible rewards or one of a kind experiences or products. Indiegogo offers various projects and entrepreneurial ideas for investment and loan transactions from medical to film to music to environment. To date it has raised $800m from nine million backers over 600k projects. Kickstarter supports creative minds such as artists, film producers, designers and musicians. It has raised $2.2bn for near to 100,000 projects to date.
Crowdlending has seen massive global growth
Peer to peer lending is often also referred to as crowdlending. Through crowdlending, individuals or businesses choose to invest through online P2P sites to other individuals or small businesses. This is done to gain better interest rates than offered by traditional banks and for small businesses or individuals to obtain loans when banks are reluctant to grant them. Prosper, LendingClub and Zopa were the first P2P platforms to start up. To date crowdlending in the USA has seen incredible growth and increased from $3.5bn in 2013 to $64bn in 2015.
Equity-based lending boosting small business and startups
Through equity-based lending, groups of investors invest in startup businesses or SMEs (Small to Medium Enterprises) through peer to peer lending. They benefit from this type of investment through gaining an equity stake or part ownership in the company. To date the highest amount raised in such a transaction was though Companisto for Weissenhaus, a real estate business where €7.5m was raised by almost 1,700 investors. Other collateral based lenders having raised large amounts have included Net Zero Aqualife, which raised more than $4.5m through Crowdfunder and Chapel Down Group PLC which raised almost £4m through Seedrs.

With an online tool to assist in finding the right lending platform for the right reason, CompareLend.com will ensure you don't waste unnecessary time searching the web and still not getting anywhere.

Skyrocketing oil prices and worldwide demand for grain have increased grocery prices. Restaurants are also feeling the pain, so expect a heftier bill for your next dinner out. But savvy consumers can easily save as much as 50%.
First, use gift certificates. If you buy them online, and you'll pay less than face value. At Restaurant.com, a $25 certificate costs just $10. You'll also find bargains on eBay and swap sites like CardAvenue.com or CertificateSwap.com.
When you're out at dinner, try to pay with plastic. Plenty of credit cards offer bonus rewards for restaurant purchases. That's like getting a 5% discount. There are also third-party programs like Rewards Network, where you register any existing card and earn airline miles or points for every dollar spent.
If you know you're going out ahead of time, make a reservation. Try booking your table through OpenTable.com or DinnerBroker.com. These free programs reward you with gift certificates when you've made a certain number of reservations. DinnerBroker.com also gives you up to 30% off your total bill when you make a reservation for a less crowded time.
Also, keep your eyes peeled for coupons. Consumer spending is slowing, which means restaurants - like other retailers - are offering more sales to bring in customers. Look for coupons in your local paper, through the restaurant's e-mail newsletter or in the Entertainment books. Also check for restaurant specials, like "kids eat free" nights or "restaurant weeks."
Finally, do your best to improve your odds of getting a better meal. Restaurants are using other tricks to avoid exorbitant menu prices. Some are reducing portions, or reducing loss-leader items like steaks with profit-heavy salads and pastas. Check the menu before you pick a restaurant. For the best quality, head out on weekdays when restaurants get their fresh food deliveries.

AltiGen Intros MAX Service Pack for VoIP Unified Communications Platform
AltiGen Communications reportedly has launched Service Pack 1 for its "MAX Communications Server 6.0" VoIP unified communications platform.
The new release offers features such as new server redundancy options with "hot standby support" for mission critical environments. It also offers 802.1q support for VLANs for increased Quality of Service and has new single T1/PRI/E1access board for the MAX1000 and MAX1000R servers. In addition, the product includes enhanced Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 support.
Jimmin Yao, vice president of product management for AltiGen (News - Alert), said he believes the new product will allow his company to provide customers with value-add feature enhancements during the product's life cycle without investing in traditional "forklift" upgrades commonly required of older, legacy phone systems.
By leveraging AltiGen's software based softswitch architecture, IT departments can deploy the features they need as soon as they become available. The product also increases the AltiGen product's return on investment and reduces their total cost of ownership.
AltiGen President Jeremiah Fleming, as the company moves further upstream in the market, its ability to add and improve upon core capabilities is critical to meeting the customer demands. Fleming said he sees his company as well-positioned to compete and sell into larger opportunities thanks to the increased scalability available from a software based softswitch and the new redundancy and QoS features available in MAXCS Service Pack 1.
AltiGen's MAX Communications Server 6.0 VoIP unified communications platform is designed for businesses with support for up to 5,000 users. The platform offers Native Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 integration for a complete unified messaging solution and new, software-based distributed softswitch architecture with support for 1,000 users on a single server among other.
AltiGen Communications made news earlier this year when Project InVision International reported that it achieved increased productivity through enhanced mobility and multisite capabilities available with AltiGen unified communications phone systems.
