WASHINGTON, Friday, July 20 — The Senate approved a major overhaul of federal student aid early today, cutting taxpayer subsidies to student lenders by more than $18 billion and funneling most of the money into increasing federal grants for low- and middle-income students and easing repayment terms on federal loans.
The bill passed by a bipartisan majority of 78 to 18 after the vote was temporarily delayed by a flurry of largely unrelated amendments, a reflection of the lingering rancor over the debate on Iraq this week. The House passed its version of the legislation last week, and the differences must now be reconciled.
The White House, which had threatened to veto the House bill, had a more measured response to the Senate's version, objecting mainly to provisions that ease repayment of only some loans and grant loan forgiveness for public service employees. But the administration said it expected to "resolve these issues through the legislative process."
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, the chairman of the education committee, said, "In the face of the global economy, college education is more important than ever, but it's never been more difficult to afford." The cost of attending college has tripled over the last 20 years, Mr. Kennedy added, even as the buying power of the main federal grant for low- and middle-income students shrank.
But critics complained that the bill would cut too deep into lender subsidies and create new entitlement programs that would, over time, swell the federal deficit.Continue reading the main story
Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee, argued that the measures were really aimed at dismantling the federally guaranteed loan program, which involves private lenders, and replacing it with a direct loan program, which costs taxpayers less, according to Congressional research.
The bill, Mr. Alexander said, "is doing something through the back door that I really don't think we should be doing through the front door."
Like the House measure, the Senate bill eases the repayment burden for student borrowers. It limits monthly payments on federal student loans to 15 percent of a graduate's discretionary income and offers complete loan forgiveness after 10 years to public service employees.
It raises the maximum Pell grant more than the House bill did, to $5,100 by next year and $5,400 by 2011. And it creates a category of stipends, Promise Grants, which could make up the difference between Pell grants and any family or college contributions to cover the full cost of attendance for the neediest students.
Arguing that the bill would jeopardize small and medium-size companies, lenders tried to stave off some cuts through a last-minute amendment sponsored by Senators Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska, and Richard M. Burr, Republican of North Carolina, that would have cut the loss of government subsidies to lenders by about $3 billion.
Supporters maintained that the amendment would have eased the pain for lenders without sacrificing aid to needy students. But critics, backed by a report by the Congressional Budget Office, disputed that claim. The measure was defeated, 61 to 36.
Both the tone of the debate and the results of the vote reflected the decline in fortune of the student loan industry after inquiries by Congress and the office of Andrew M. Cuomo, the New York attorney general revealed improprieties in the industry.
Mr. Cuomo's office said on Thursday that it had reached an agreement with one of the 10 largest student lenders, the College Loan Corporation of San Diego.
In the agreement, the attorney general's office said it had found that the company had provided a range of benefits to colleges and universities, including conducting counseling sessions on behalf of the institutions that federal law requires for students with federally guaranteed loans. The sessions are intended to offer objective information, but were instead used by the lender "as marketing opportunities," Mr. Cuomo found.
The College Loan Corporation also provided staff at no charge to assist financial aid offices at busy times and gave gifts of meals and entertainment to college employees who served on its advisory board, the agreement said.
The company signed a "code of conduct" developed by Mr. Cuomo's office that bars lenders from giving anything of value to a college or university in exchange for help marketing loans to students.
"We're pleased this matter is resolved with the New York State attorney general," Tracy Neumann, senior vice president of the company, said in a statement.Continue reading the main story

Bill Ivy

It is a small start, but hopefully there will be many more interesting pictures on Bill Ivy.
This Assen picture, taken by my friend Jan Postmus, shows how simple things were in the 1960's. Riders did not have sophisticated racing suits loaded with protectors that would make a medieval knight jealous.........!
Minoru Tanaka, who much later on worked for Yamaha Motor Europe and who happened to be Ferry Brouwer's and also my Boss at some point, simply taped Bill's completely worn boots with insulation tape.
At that time the rule was, when you started bleeding, you went "bloody fast"!
A beautiful photo of that very nice guy, surrounded by his mechanics, apparently in the Isle of Man.

There's a fresh breed of powerhouse in Hollywood today: A smart, beautiful star who's too busy being successful to worry about a few extra pounds.Yes, that's right. In the January 2013 issue, in the Fun, Fearless Celeb section, Brittany Talarico claims that women who aren't obsessed with being skinny are a new breed and "The New Normal".
With the runaway success of The Mindy Project, there's no question that Kaling is sitting pretty on top these days. But for all the buzz, shes' oddly middle of the pack in one regard: her weight.The Office and although her new show isn't exactly perfect, it's smart and funny, just like its creator. We're glad that Kaling has been able to be successful in Hollywood without meeting our society's screwed up stereotypical definition of beauty (being neither white, nor emaciated). However, we'd hardly say that she is part of a "fresh breed" of women. Yet, Talarico seems to be convinced that she is, among other curvy celebs:
"I am not model skinny but also not superfat and fabulously owning my happiness," she writes in her memoir, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns). "I fall in that nebulous 'normal American woman' size that legions of fashion stylists detest. For the record, I'm a size 8 (this week, anyway)."
Mindy is hardly alone. Lena Dunham, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Khloe Kardashian Odom... they're all members of the same club: normal-size women who wear a few pounds here or there as a badge of honor -- and with badass equanimity.
It's interesting that Cosmo can call these women "normal-size" and then in the same sentence suggest that they "wear a few pounds here or there". Don't all women wear "a few pounds" somewhere? Even the skinniest woman out there who is a size zero, doesn't weigh zero pounds. By saying that they wear "a few pounds here or there", what they're really saying is that they wear a few extra pounds that they're not supposed to be wearing. If these are "normal-size" women, then lets stop referring to them in this way. Do we refer to women who are super skinny as being "missing a few pounds here or there"? Even the title refers to them as the "New Normal"... as if it isn't actually normal. It's not the real normal, it's the "new" normal. It's the abnormal that we're newly accepting as normal. (And as we've seen in the past, Cosmo has a totally skewed perception of what "normal" weight really is - remember when they called Hilary Duff "plus-sized"?)
Also, who is to say that these women are actually really "normal" size? What is "normal"? Just because they're not excessively underweight does that mean that they really are the norm? The average American woman wears a size 12-14, so at a size 8, Kaling would still be below "normal". Most of the celebs they featured in this article are similar in size. They're curvy, but not big enough to be considered plus-size. Why didn't they focus on any plus-size celebrities? Where's Melissa McCarthy, Gabourey Sidibe, Rebel Wilson, Brooke Elliott, Adele? Aren't they smart, beautiful, successful stars too? Why aren't they part of the new normal? Or are they too "fat" to qualify for this so-called trend of "normal" women?
Regardless, we agree that all of these women are beautiful at their various sizes. However, we're not completely convinced that all of the examples Talarico gave wear these "pounds" as a "badge of honor" or with "badass equanimity". Both Kardashian and Simpson have been pretty public about trying to lose weight. They're constantly running to the press to talk about their weight issues and shilling for various diets (like Weight Watchers), so while they may be good examples of celebrities who are beautiful without looking like they're starving, they're hardly examples of women who don't "worry" about their weight.
And what about the stars who were curvy and proud before it became the so-called "new normal"? Marilyn Monroe's weight fluctuated over the years and at times she was super curvy, but to this day she is still considered to be one of the most iconic sex symbols our society has ever known. Plus-sized Beth Ditto has posed nude on more than one magazine cover and has been an outspoken advocate for body positivity. Queen Latifah has been successful and confident about her body for a long time... this concept is nothing new. So why is this a new "breed"?
Why does Cosmo continue to act like they've discovered some new pattern, when it's usually a "trend" that has always been around?
I'm thinking that maybe there is a "trend" here, but it's not the actresses who are normal-size and dare to still feel good about their bodies. They have always existed. I think maybe the trend is that for whatever reason these women have managed to actually be successful in show business without being super thin. It's not that they're doing something new or different, but maybe the new "trend" is that we're more accepting of their bodies. Perhaps the "new breed" isn't the celebrities, but the TV, movie and music executives that have actually allowed these not-super-skinny women be on shows and in movies, etc.
And even then, it's not perfect... in order for Melissa McCarthy to get a leading role on a primetime network sitcom, she has to star in a show where literally the entire gimmick is "look, a show about a couple... and they're both FAT!" But at least we're making some progress. And it's not as though male celebrities have ever really had to struggle with the fat-stigma in the same way that women in show business have. A few years ago, McCarthy's Mike & Molly co-star Billy Gardell might have still managed to get a leading role on a sitcom... but Molly would've been played by someone thinner, like in The Honeymooners, King of Queens, According to Jim, and a slew of other shows. (The last TV couple I can think of that looked even remotely like Mike and Molly was on Roseanne in the 80s-90s, but that show was somewhat of an anomaly in a lot of ways.)
These women aren't just fearless; they achieve so much more per pound than most of us could ever hope to achieve in a lifetime. And that's because slipping into a size 00 is not a priority for them. They choose to focus on doing amazing things instead. And with everything they've accomplished so far, we'd say they're in excellent shape.We know that Talarico and Cosmo probably meant for that last paragraph to be empowering and for the readers to walk away feeling good... but no. The message is trying to be positive, but the language still comes off as slightly negative underneath. "More per pound" almost sounds like the excessive pounds they carry on them are justified by their success... so if they weren't this successful, would we be less accepting of their size? And yet, we could never hope to achieve this level success in our lifetimes, regardless of our weights? "They're in excellent shape" also rubs me the wrong way, because, Talarico is basically saying that they're in "good shape" when it comes to their accomplishments, even though they're not actually in good shape physically. I think her language choices are just a little off.
And the fact that she even had to write this article says something about her and Cosmo's mindset. Why not put one of these curvy celebrities on this month's cover instead of the tiny Carly Rae Jepsen? Why not do a feature on Mindy Kaling or Lena Dunham and not even address the fact that they're not super skinny? Most of the celebs they mentioned aren't even big enough to be called "overweight" by most medical standards, so why are we even talking about their size in this context?
If being "normal" size really is the new "normal", then let's stop talking about it like it's some outrageous new concept and just start actually accepting these celebs for the beautiful, intelligent, creative, successful women they are, without the disclaimer.

In this short Marvelous Designer 5 to ZBrush workflow tutorial we'll show you how to best export Marvelous Designer clothing for use in ZBrush. (Click images to enlarge them).
The first thing you need to do before exporting your Marvelous Designer clothes, is to convert the tri mesh into a quad mesh.
Here below you can see the difference between the same dress, once exported from Marvelous Designer as a tri mesh and once as a quad mesh. Both dresses were subdivided in ZBrush 4 times. As you can see, the quad mesh is much smoother.
Here's how to convert your Marvelous Designer clothes from tris into quads:
- Select all your pattern pieces by doing ctrl A. Your clothes will turn yellow.
- Right click on any part of your clothes in the 3D garment window and select 'Quadrangulate' from the popup menu.
Next, to export the 3D clothing from Marvelous Designer, go to the 'File' Menu and click 'Export – OBJ'.
It is very important to set the correct export settings in the export dialog box.
If you want to export your Marvelous garment with the avatar, then select the avatar, otherwise leave it unchecked.
For using the Marvelous Designer clothes in ZBrush, the most important thing is to select 'Weld'.
Unfortunately, when 'Weld' is selected, you cannot export your clothes with thickness. You'll have to add any thickness you need in ZBrush.
Below is an example of what happens if you export your Marvelous Designer garments with thickness and 'Unweld' turned on.
As you can see, the mesh is breaking up along all the seams where the patterns were sewn together.
Asides from that, a Marvelous Designer clothing model exported with thickness needs to be subdivided 2x more at least in order to get it to look smooth. The below example was subdivided 6 times and still does not look as smooth as the 'thin' 'weld' mesh export.
What does 'Unified UV Coordinates' option do? Here below are some images to help explain it.
I usually leave this option turned off, since I like to apply fabric textures onto clothes in Marvelous Designer and to scale the textures, rotate them etc. Some textures like zipper textures I need to scale down quite a lot, wheres some other textures I scale up.
When exporting clothes with 'Unified UV Coordinates' turned on, all the textures get rotated in the same direction and scaled to the same exact size. With the 'Unified UV Coordinates' unchecked, the textures stay just like you rotated and scaled them with the Texture Transform tool in Marvelous Designer.
See below some examples of the effect of 'Unified UV Coordinates' checked and un-checked when importing Marvelous Designer clothes to render in Keyshot and applying the same one material (with texture mapping set to UV Coordinates) onto the entire model. Another example below that is when applying a texture to the clothing model in ZBrush using the NoiseMaker plugin (also set to UV).
The option to 'Select All Graphics' will export your Marvelous Designer clothes with any 2D graphic textures that you applied, such as stitches, trims, image or text overlays. If you are just exporting your Marvelous garment to render in Keyshot/ Octane etc., then you definitely want to 'Select All Graphics'. However, when exporting your 3D clothing to ZBrush, you want to uncheck 'Select All Graphics'.
See below what happens if you export your Marvelous clothing into ZBrush with 'Select All Graphics' turned on.
Here's how to import the Marvelous Designer clothes into Zbrush. Simply click the 'Import' button in the Tool menu and load in your exported OBJ.
When you import your Marvelous Designer garment it may look rather queer, sort of broken up like parts are missing.
Don't worry, that is only an appearance!
Under 'Display Properties' turn on 'Double' and you will see all the parts of your clothing.
(Tip: Before exporting a clothing model from Marvelous Designer, make sure that all the normals are facing the right way. If any pattern is turned 'inside out', with the darker side on the outside instead of the lighter side, simply right click on that pattern in the 3D garment window and select 'Flip Normals' from the popup).
To easily hide/ show / edit individual parts of this 3D clothing mesh, we need to polygroup it. As you can see in the image above in Polyframe mode there are no poly groups.
Since the Marvelous Designer clothes are made from pattern pieces it is very easy to turn those patterns into polygroups. Simply head over to the 'Polygroups' menu and click 'Auto Groups with UV'.
If you created your Marvelous Designer clothes (like shirts) with symmetric patterns you will have separate polygroups for each side of the shirt. If you'd rather have one polygroup for the front of the shirt and one for the back, then you need to first symmetric merge the patterns in Marvelous Designer before exporting the clothing mesh to ZBrush.
To symmetric merge two symmetric patterns, right click on the middle line and select 'symmetric merge'.
(Note, if you had any piping on your shirt, it will vanish once you symmetric merge it and you will have to redo it).
Last of all, in order to create a smooth mesh from the Marvelous Designer clothing mesh, you need to subdivide the geometry several times.
After that, you can do what you want with the 3D clothing model, retropologize the mesh, paint on it, texture it, add deco, 3D parts etc.,
We hope this Marvelous Designer 5 to ZBrush workflow tutorial helps you!
Feel free to share any tips you have on working with Marvelous Designer clothes in the comments below.
If you enjoyed reading this article, then please tell your friends about it. This helps us Elves get the word out, so more fellow artists can benefit! All goes hand in hand - Blessings to you the Elves shall send! :)

The Titans have also been stellar on defense with the nation's seventh-best mark of .981, a league-high. • The Cal State Fullerton Titans have been tabbed the team to beat in 2016 as they begin their quest to defend the Big West Conference title, according to the nine conference coaches that voted on the 2016 Big West baseball preseason poll. The Titans earned four first-place votes en route to a total of 71 points while UC Irvine, who received one first-place vote, holds the second spot with 65 points. Long Beach State secured the third slot after earning three first-place votes for a total of 62 points and the Gauchos of UC Santa Barbara picked up the final first-place vote and tallied 60 points to finish fourth. With 44 total points, CSUN clinched the fifth spot and Cal Poly, who captured its first-ever title in 2014, landed sixth with 43 points.

Every Big West team will make an appearance on the televised baseball schedule. Through the Big West's new mobile production facility, each game will be produced by the Conference utilizing full ESPN production standards, including graphics, replay and on-air crew. It is the first fully operational mobile production unit of its kind that expands upon what ESPN Emerging Technology has already done at the institutional level.

CAL POLY Play Ball: Cal Poly secured its second straight conference series victory, this time against Hawai'i (2-1), to improve to 4-2 in league play. This week the Mustangs host league-leading No. 9 UC Santa Barbara. Cal Poly s 2-2 against the Top 25 this season. Mustang Leaders: Brett Barbier ranks third in the conference with a .380 batting average while owning the top spot in on-base percentage with a .510 clip. Alex McKenna is tied for third with 29 runs scored and John Schuknecht is knotted in second in RBI with 28. CAL STATE FULLERTON Dominating Performance: Cal State Fullerton is back to its winning ways after sweeping UC Davis in dominating fashion. The Titans outscored the Aggies 26-5 to improve to 7-2 in league play. CSF, who battles UNLV this weekend, has won nine of the last 11 contests. Wanting To Be First: Cal State Fullerton is 15-3 when scoring first this season. Kings Of The Hill: The Titans have four pitchers ranked in the Big West's top 10 - Connor Seabold (3rd, 1.97), Colton Eastman (5th, 2.41), John Gavin (6th, 2.45) and Blake Quinn (8th, 2.64). CSUN Big West Play: CSUN, who has dropped its first three Big West series, hopes to turn things around this week when the Matadors entertain Hawai'i. This week's matchup also marks the first Matadors' game against a non-ranked opponent after six consecutive outings against the top 25. Leading The Charge: Fred Smith currently paces the Matadors and ranks fifth in the Big West with a .346 batting average. Teammate Branden Berry isn't far behind in the eighth slot after hitting .331. Smith also owns the top spot in hits with 54. LONG BEACH STATE Going, Going Gone: A pair of home runs from Brock Lundquist and David Banuelo in game two of the LBSU-UCI series, bumped the Dirtbags' home run total to eight at Blair Field after hitting just two at home during the 2015 season. Overall they've knocked 19 out of the park to tie for first in the league. The Stopper: Freshman Chris Rivera has earned 11 saves this season to rank second in the country. Live Action Available: This weekend's series at UC Riverside marks the first appearance on ESPN3 for the Dirtbags as Friday and Saturday's contest are slated to air live. UC DAVIS Aggie Struggles: UC Davis has dropped its last six contests and currently owns a 1-8 Big West record. The Aggies look to turn things around this week when they visit Saint Mary's in a nonconference midweek showdown before hosting UC Irvine in a weekend conference series. Aggies Leaders: Mark Cardinalli continues to be the Aggies' offensive catalyst, hitting .329 on the season to rank ninth in the Big West. On the mound, Robert Garcia is sporting the league's fourth-best ERA of 2.11. UC IRVINE Road Trippin': After dropping its series against nationally-ranked Long Beach State, UC Irvine wraps up an eight-game road trip with a visit to San Diego State (4/19) and UC Davis. Explosion At The Plate: Belting a .398 batting average, Keston Hiura paces the Big West, while also leading the way in RBI with 31 and home runs with 7. He's also number one on the team in hits (49) and runs scored (27). Last week Hiura extended his on-base streak to 48 games. UC RIVERSIDE UCR Faces Toughest Challenge Yet: After dropping the past two weekend series, life doesn't get any easier for UC Riverside as it is slated to host No. 17 Long Beach State. This marks the first nationally-ranked opponent for the Highlanders this season. Plate Power: Vince Fernandez paces the Highlanders and ranks fourth in the Big West Conference in batting average with a .348 mark. You can also find him ranked among the top in hits (T4th, 46), RBI (T5th, 24) and runs scored (10th, 24). UC SANTA BARBARA On The Rise: UCSB cracked the Top 10 this week as it received its highest ranking of ninth by Baseball America. The Gauchos also hold an eighth ranking in the RPI. Lights Out: Against CSUN Shane Bieber tossed a four-hit shutout, the second of his career. Moving to 7-1 on the season, Bieber is tied for third in the country in wins and just one victory away from tying his career-high of eight, set last season. Home Sweet Home: The Gauchos have won 12 straight games at home, the longest streak for the program since 1986 (14 games). HAWAI'I 'Bows Stumble: After two consecutive Big West series wins, Hawai'i dropped a series against Cal Poly and now owns a 6-3 record. It marked its first conference loss since falling to Michigan March 10-12. This week the Rainbow Warriors look to get back on track when they visit CSUN. In The Ranks: Jacob Sheldon-Collins holds the second spot in the league in batting average with a .394 mark. In conference-only contest he has bettered his average to .410. He's also second with 50 hits, 16 of which were in league play. CAL POLY | CAL STATE FULLERTON | CSUN | LONG BEACH STATE | UC DAVIS | UC IRVINE | UC RIVERSIDE | UC SANTA BARBARA | HAWAI'I

Managing Connections
KosmicTask uses Bonjour to automatically connect to other application instances on the local network. Should you wish to connect to a local instance that does not have Bonjour configured or to a remote or Internet based instance then click the + button at the foot of the sidebar to manually configure the connection.
The connection sheet allows users to connect to a specific remote instance of KosmicTask. It also maintains a list of favourite locations. The available fields are:
- Connect to
- The Domain name or IP address to connect to. The connection will only succeed if the target machine is accessible at the port specified below and is running a copy of KosmicTask. If the remote instance of KosmicTask is behind a uPNP enabled router (as commonly found in a SOHO environment) then Internet Sharing can be used to enable access. If Internet sharing cannot be enabled (as may be the case in a corporate environment) then the LAN router will have to be manually configured to route Internet traffic to KosmicTask.
- Port number
- The TCP port number to connect to. KosmicTask defaults to using registered TCP port number 7742. However, if this port is already in use by another instance of KosmicTask then a higher port number may be specified in the Internet Sharing settings for the remote instance of KosmicTask.
- Display name
- A friendly name for the connection.
- Encrypt public tasks
- When checked this option requires that public tasks on the remote machine will be accessed over a secure encrypted connection. It is recommended to leave this option at its default checked state.
- Auto connect
- Marks a connection as eligible for auto connection. This option is only effective for connections that are added to the list of favourite locations. When KosmicTask starts it attempts to re-establish all of the favourite items that are marked for auto connection.
- Clear
- Clears the currently displayed connection information.
- Favourite KosmicTask Locations
- A persistent list of favourite locations. To connect to a favourite location simply select it from the list and click Connect.
- +
- Adds the current connection information to the list of favourite locations.
- -
- Removes the selected favourite location from the list.
- Connect
- Establish a connection to the remote address.
Disconnecting from Remote Connections
Manually configured connections will remain displayed until KosmicTask quits or the connection is removed. Click the - button at the foot of the sidebar to display the disconnect sheet.
To disconnect from a manually configured remote connection select the connection or connections in the location list and click the - button.

Product Description
Sure, Boba Fett sure looks cool, but he definitely has some issues at times. Bounty hunting on Tatooine, which has two suns, can't be very comfortable in that heavy Mandalorian armor. It's really a shame he can't just leave all that armor (along with his massive puddle of sweat) back in Slave I and wear this sweet Boba Fett men's tank. While this may be a bit too casual for Mr. Fett, but you can wear it and look like your favorite Star Wars character while maintaining comfort in the summer sun.
When the sun is out, you want your guns out and this tank is just the thing to show off your guns AND carry your blaster. This officially licensed tank is half cotton and half polyester and features Boba Fett's armor printed on the front and back. Instead of cooking like a Nerf steak on the grill under some heavy armor, why not just throw on this men's Boba Fett tank. It's a more comfortable option that will allow you to track down your marks AND catch some rays. Besides, Darth Vader will find your lack of sweat anything but disturbing.

Written by Floyd McGough, 'Where Robins Die' is a searing and startling fictional reminder of how the South once treated African Americans. Taking readers on a journey from the realities of segregation to the insufferable opinions of bigots, McGough offers a glimpse into history that few have discussed so openly.
Cross Plains, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2014 -- Nobody can deny that the United States' history with its African American population is tumultuous. However, a compelling new novel by author Floyd McGough presents this prolonged period of oppression in raw and gripping detail, like nobody has before.
'Where Robins Die' is told through the eyes of its protagonist in an unusual yet fitting retrospective format. The result in not only the preservation of history, but an exposé' of hard-to-swallow truths.
As an old man, Ronald DeWitt returns to a small Southern town where he had lived as a young boy. Once there, he reflects upon events that happened many years earlier.
At the beginning of the summer of 1946 Ronnie had been looking forward to three months of fun and excitement, but the carefree days ahead would turn into times of tragedy and horror.
The joy of being young was interrupted by events which nearly cost him his life, as well as the occurrence of heinous murders. He could never have guessed that such evil could exist in his world. Devils were afoot in those days.
As the author explains, he fused fact with fiction to present the real world of black Americans during the years of segregation.
"My narrative proves that evil people will always exist, no matter what their race. The story opens in the present and ends in the present, with the main bulk transporting readers back to the late 1940s and into a life that they are glad they didn't lead. This full-circle format also allows the audience to recognize and appreciate the drastic changes that have taken place over the past sixty years," says McGough.
Continuing, "Within the book, bigots are rampant and black people have virtually no rights; a far cry from life today. Still, it also counters progression by proving that there will always be evil people in the world. Many of today's younger people don't see the real adversity black Americans were forced to endure, so I hope to help them at least understand what life used to be like."
To date, the book has garnered many positive reviews. For example, D. Miller comments, "A great story that evokes many emotions, from humor and innocence to anger and grief. The imagery made me want to cover my eyes! It is a tale that certainly entertains the reader with the battle between good and evil that is so graphic you will feel like you are right in the middle of it."
RM adds, "This is the first book I've read by McGough. He has a terrific imagination and the excitement starts from the beginning. A very nice job of weaving characters and story lines. Most readers will want to finish the book in one session."
'Where Robins Die' is available now: http://amzn.to/1pzc0p3.

Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) – a leading manufacturer of diesel engines and generator sets for the marine industry – recently delivered the first four QSK95 engines for a marine application; four additional units will be delivered in December. The engines were delivered to longtime Cummins partner SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (http://www.seacormarine.com/), for installation into a 57-meter catamaran crewboat designed by Incat Crowther (www.incatcrowther.com).
"We are extremely excited to be working with SEACOR Marine to launch the first QSK95 marine engines," said Jim Schacht, Executive Director – Marine Market, Cummins Inc. "We leveraged all the experience and best technologies Cummins has to offer to design the QSK95 marine engine, which will deliver increased power and reliability, fast transient response and simple serviceability."
Two crewboats will be built, each powered by four QSK95 marine engines rated at 4000 hp (2983 kW) at 1700 rpm, matched to MGX-62500SC-H marine transmissions supplied by Twin Disc, Inc.® and quad HT-810 waterjets from Hamilton Jet,® to achieve a maximum speed of 40 knots. The two forward engines will run Jason® FiFi 1 classpumps off the front of the engine. Cummins is also providing auxiliary power; each vessel will have two QSM11-powered generator sets rated at 290 kWe, as well as a fully enclosed QSM11-powered deck generator rated at 270 kWe. Named Puma and Panther, the crewboats will be built at Astilleros Armon Burela, S.A. (http://www.astillerosarmon.com), in Burela, Spain; the first boat is expected to enter into service in April 2017, followed by the second in July 2017.
"Our 20 plus year relationship with Cummins coupled with the latest in high-speed diesel engine technology were important factors in SEACOR's decision to select Cummins to power our latest vessels, Puma and Panther," said Robert Clemons, Vice President, SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. "We are confident we can rely on the Cummins team and the QSK95 throughout the life of these engines, and we are excited by the increased value the launch of these vessels will bring to our customers."
Compared to medium-speed engines offering similar power output, the QSK95 offers the benefits of smaller size, lower weight and better transient response while delivering a new level of serviceability. With IMO Tier II-certified ratings from 3200 hp to 4200 hp (2386-3132 kW), the QSK95 provides 95 liters of displacement in a 78-liter package. Nested cylinders and a 60-degree V enable a short, narrow engine block relative to other engines of comparable displacement. In addition, the QSK95 weighs in just over 13,000 kg (28,660 lb) – this is between 25 percent and 70 percent less than medium-speed platforms of similar power output.As operators continue to seek better vessel maneuverability, the QSK95 delivers faster transient response through a unique turbo arrangement and a dry exhaust system. By using one turbo per four cylinders, the QSK95 is able to utilize a smaller turbocharger. The dry turbo housings and dry exhaust manifold maximize the available energy to the turbos, allowing them to spool up quickly, resulting in fast engine response.
Cummins design, validation and service teams devoted countless hours to ensuring that the QSK95 sets industry serviceability standards. From the early phases of engine design, qualified technicians participated in service tool and repair procedure validation, and design concepts were evaluated for progressive damage prevention. Initial feedback from technicians servicing QSK95 engines in the field has confirmed that the focus on serviceability will provide considerable payback over the life of the engines.
The QSK95 will be on display at the Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Technology (SMM) trade fair in Hamburg, Germany through Sept. 9, where customers can speak with product experts and obtain additional product information in Hall A4, Stand No. 208.To view a 360° video of SEACOR's crewboat Puma, see https://youtu.be/clI7bb2N4oI. You can also view a video of the QSK95 being installed into the 57 m-crewboat at https://youtu.be/WvOpmWDruT4.

Indy 500 and USAC racing (1971-1978)
A new era of US motor racing began in 1971 with the separation of the USAC championship into separate divisions for dirt racing, road courses and paved ovals. This section follows the highly successful oval racing series through to the arrival of the CART series in 1979.
This eight-year, 110-race period spans from the 1971 McLaren M16 and "Johnny Lightning 500" Lola T150-based Bignotti Colt-Offy to the 1978 Penske PC6-Cosworth DFX, but is more than anything the era of the classic 1972 Eagle Model 5. The period saw 29 Eagle victories, 26 for McLaren, 19 for AJ Foyt's Coyotes, 15 for Parnelli, eight for the Patrick Racing Wildcats and three for Chaparral Racing's 1978 Lola T500.
Numerically, Eagle dominate this period with 37% of all entries, followed by McLaren on 15% and then Wildcat leading the rest on just 5%. Only four other constructors average more than one entry per race: AJ Foyt's ever-present Coyotes, Grant King's creations and late-comers Parnelli and Lightning. Of the designers, Bob Riley is well-represented with the 1973 Coyote design, the 1974 'Riley' for Lindsey Hopkins, and the 1975 Wildcat; Roman Slobodynskyj designed the classic 1972 Eagle and the 1976 Lightning.

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Thursday, March 31, 2016
1. The Federal Trade Commission began an investigation into the merger of Pfizer and Allergan. The agency issued a request for more information on Wednesday. The drugmakers' product portfolios will likely come under scrutiny as regulators look to identify overlaps between the two companies. (Bloomberg)
2. The FDA loosened the guidelines for mifepristone, an abortion-inducing drug. Changes include reducing the dosage from 600 milligrams to 200 milligrams, decreasing the number of physician visits from three to two, and extending the time when a woman can take the pill from seven weeks to ten weeks of pregnancy. Medication-induced abortion accounted for a quarter of all abortions in 2011, according to most recent figures by the Guttmacher Institute. (NYT)
3. The FDA approved Dublin-based Jazz Pharmaceuticals' Defitelio (defibrotide), which treats patients with hepatic veno-occlusive disease, a rare type of liver condition. It is the first U.S. approved drug for the condition and is already available in Europe. (Reuters)
4. A San Francisco startup, Nurx, will allow patients in California to receive Truvada, Gilead Sciences' pre-exposure prophylaxis pill, through a mobile app. The patient requests the prescription through the app, fills out a health survey, and a doctor then reviews that information and decides whether to prescribe it or not. (The Guardian)
5. Bristol-Myers Squibb's cancer immunotherapy Opdivo is currently being reviewed by the European Medicines Agency as a treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. If approved, it would be the first blood cancer indicated for a checkpoint inhibitor. (PMLiVE)

Have you decided to apply for our program in Theology? On this page you will find a description of our admission and application procedure.
All applicants (both Dutch and non-Dutch) must be admitted via an application and selection procedure before starting the program.
Please note that you will need to apply and register in two different systems:
- MySAS, Tilburg University's online application system
- Studielink, the Dutch national registration system for admission to higher education
Since an application in both systems is necessary, when you start working on your application, we encourage you to register in both systems right away.
The regular deadline is May 1, 2018 but has
been extended to July 1, 2018 for EU/EEA students. For non-EU/EEA students who require a visa
it is not possible to apply anymore.
Admission requirements
Diploma requirements
To be eligible for admission to a research university, you must have a high school diploma that is considered equal to the highest level of secondary education in the Netherlands (the Dutch vwo diploma). Examples of diplomas which are accepted for admission include the
- Dutch vwo diploma or Dutch hbo-P
- Full International Baccalaureate diploma
- European Baccalaureate
- Most European high school diplomas which allow direct access to a university in your own country, such as the Zeugnis der Allgemeinen Hochschulreife (Germany), Diplôme du Baccalauréate Général (France), Apolytiron (Greece), Diploma za Zavarsheno Sredno Obrazovanie (DZSO) (Bulgaria), or Diploma de Baccalaureate - Filiera Tehnologică/ Teoretică.
You can review a list of most commonly accepted diplomas on our website, or, if your diploma is not listed, submit an application request.
Haven't obtained your diploma yet? You are welcome to apply when you are in the final year of your secondary education, but only if you will graduate before the start of your program at Tilburg University (at the end of August).
If you haven't got the degree or diploma to apply for a bachelor and you are 21 years or older, there is the option of taking a Colloquium Doctum. A Colloquium Doctum is a test that will determine your general knowledge as well as your aptitude for a scientific education.
For applications for a Colloquium Doctum for the Bachelor's program in Theology, please read this document first.
If you are interested in taking a Colloquium Doctum, please contact the school's Academic Advisor first for advice. If you want to apply for the Colloquim Doctum, please use this application form.
English language requirements
As our Bachelor's programs are taught entirely in English, you will need to demonstrate your English language proficiency. Tilburg University accepts the following tests, which must not be older than two years at the time of application:
- English at Dutch vwo-level
- Academic IELTS (minimum score 6.0 overall and a minimum score of 5.5 for all subscores)
- TOEFL (minimum score of 80 for the internet based test, 550 no paper based test accepted). TOEFL institutional code of Tilburg University is 9860)
- Cambridge Proficiency in English (CPE, score A, B or C) or Cambridge Advanced English (CAE, score A, B or C).
For a full overview and exceptions, review our paragraph on English language requirements.
Application package
Do you meet the requirements? Then you are ready to apply! You can apply for Theology through our online application system, MySAS.
You will be requested to upload the following documents:
- Your diploma(s) and grade list(s). If you have not obtained your diploma yet, please enclose your most recent list of grades and/or predicted grades.
- Please note that we only accept official grade lists which have been issued by your school and/or academic advisor. A screenshot of your school's digital environment where you can review your academic progress is not accepted.
- If you are selected for the program, you must send in a certified copy of your diploma once you get it, and before you start your studies at Tilburg University.
- A legalized translation of all documents, transcripts, certificates and grade lists if these are not already in Dutch, English, French or German.
- Your application form: this form combines a curriculum vitae and some questions related to your motivation to apply for this program. This form will be used as the basis for the matching interview. Please use our template to create your application form.
- Your essay: you need to choose one of the three statements that are mentioned in the template and write an essay about it. This essay is an opportunity for you to display your ability to critically analyze a topic and effectively argue your viewpoint - illustrating your points with supportive evidence. Your essay will be discussed during the matching interview (phase 3 of the application process). Please use our template to create your essay.
- The results of an English language test.
- A copy of your passport (or EEA national ID card). If you have dual citizenship, please upload both ID's.
- If you are a non-EEA national and already live in the Netherlands: your Dutch residence permit (back and front).
Please do not send hard copies of your documents to us at this stage. You must apply via the online application system MySAS and upload your documents there. The university maintains the right to request certified copies during the admission process, if this is necessary to evaluate your application. If you are accepted onto the program, you will be requested to send us certified copies of your documents, which are required for your unconditional admission and enrollment.
Application process
The application process begins the moment you click on the submit button in MySAS and may take up to ten weeks. This depends on several factors, such as the total number of applications in process, the time of year you apply, your availability for the matching interview and the completeness of your application. We therefore advise you to apply as soon as possible, rather than waiting until the deadline is really close!
During the admissions process, your Admissions Officer will contact you via e-mail. It is therefore important to keep an eye on your mailbox, and check your spam folder as well.
Please read this paragraph carefully, so that you fully understand the process and are aware of all relevant deadlines and other important information.
Phase 1: Submitting your application
As mentioned above, you must register for Theology in two different places.
- Register via Studielink
- When registering in Studielink, please select the correct program: Theologie or Theology
- Submit your application via our online application system, MySAS
- When applying through MySAS, make sure to select the correct program: Theologie or Theology.
Within one week, the Admissions Officer will check whether your application in MySAS is complete. If your documents are incomplete, you will be asked to submit the missing document(s).
When your application is complete, you will receive confirmation via e-mail, and you will enter Phase 2.
Phase 2: After submitting your application
When your application is complete, the Admissions Committee will determine whether your academic background meets our admission requirements, based on your application documents.
- If your application does not meet our admission criteria, you will receive a letter via e-mail informing you that your application does not meet our requirements, and that you cannot be admitted to the program. The application process for you will not go further.
- If your application meets our admissions criteria, you will move to Phase 3 of the process.
Phase 3: Skype interview
You will receive an invitation (by e-mail) for a Skype interview. Your application form will provide input for this 20-minute interview with a member of our Admissions Committee. The purpose of the interview is to determine whether you are right for this program and whether this program is right for you! During the interview, you will have the opportunity to discuss your academic ambitions, background, personal interests and motivation for following this program of study. The interview will be held in English.
Phase 4: Outcome of the admission process
You will be informed about the conditional admission decision and which steps you need to take further. You will then be informed about the decision of the Admissions Committee. At this stage, you will receive either positive or negative admission advice.
- Positive admission advice means that we believe that this program will be a good match for you and you will proceed to Phase 5.
- Negative admission advice means that we do not feel that this program is a good match for you and we would advise against you starting this program of study. We strongly encourage you to follow this advice.
We will inform you of the Admission Committee's advice via e-mail.
Phase 5: Unconditional admission
From the beginning of July onwards, you will receive further instructions regarding official enrollment. Your admission remains conditional until you have met the conditions given in your conditional admission letter. This can be, for example, submitting the results of your English proficiency test, or a certified copy of your diploma and/or final list of grades.
After you have met all the requirements, you will receive your unconditional admission letter via e-mail. Conditional admission always means you have to fulfill a requirement, which means turning it into an unconditional acceptance is in your own hands.
To ensure you don't miss any important messages, please keep a close watch on your e-mail and use an e-mail address which you check regularly. Add the e-mail address of the Admissions Officer to your safe sender list, and check your spam mailbox regularly to ensure you receive all messages sent by our Admissions Officer. Make sure you don't lose your Studielink password, and regularly check your Studielink account for updates and messages.
We have a rolling admissions procedure, which means that you can apply for the program any time between October 1 and May 1. The regular deadline is May 1, 2018 but has been extended to July 1, 2018 for EU/EEA students. For non-EU/EEA students who require a visa it is not possible to apply anymore.
We strongly advise you to apply for the program as soon as possible. If you apply right before the deadline it will be more difficult to collect missing documents, or respond to messages from our admissions office about possible problems with your application. It is better not to leave your application to the last moment.
Theology only offers a fall intake (September). It is not possible to start the program in spring.
Admitted, what's next?
