Maybe this is it for David Wright. After playing just 75 games over the past two seasons and just 16 percent of the Mets' games since being diagnosed with spinal stenosis in May 2015, he is now out for at least a couple of weeks with an impingement in his right shoulder that prevents him from throwing a baseball.
This isn't meant to be a eulogy, but consider the following: Wright, a seven-time All-Star, hasn't hit .300 since 2013, hasn't hit 20 home runs since 2012 and has reached 500 plate appearances just twice in the past six seasons. General manager Sandy Alderson said this latest injury is part of the process of recovering from surgery, which Wright underwent last June to repair a herniated disk in his neck. Publicly, the Mets are treating this as a minor setback.
Unfortunately, given Wright's history and age -- he's now 34 -- this injury has to be viewed with grave concern. His ability to play third base at an acceptable level was already an issue, given his poor defensive metrics in limited time the past two seasons, including an unacceptable minus-8 defensive runs saved over just 36 games in 2016. Throwing problems would only exacerbate his lack of range.
With all of that on the table, the Mets entered 2017 with multiple contingency plans at third base. Jose Reyes, a longtime shortstop who started 50 games at third last season, is the best bet to take over as the starter, although he struggled a bit there defensively and his bat projects as only fringe-average for a third baseman. Wilmer Flores needs to play regularly against lefties after hitting 11 home runs in 100 at-bats against them last season while slugging .710, best in the majors. Maybe that's a platoon scenario with Reyes or one at first base with Lucas Duda or Jay Bruce (who has been taking grounders in the infield with Duda sidelined after receiving cortisone shots in both hips on Sunday).
If the season-long prognosis for Wright turns even more negative, the Mets should consider Todd Frazier. The Chicago White Sox would love to trade him in his final season before he hits free agency but were unable to do so this winter, primarily because the other playoff contenders are set at third base. Frazier hit 40 home runs last year, but with a .225 batting average and .302 OBP as he became seemingly a bit too obsessed with trying to hit everything out of the park. Still, with solid defense, he was a 3.4-WAR player, and he projects as at least a two-win upgrade over Reyes. With Frazier, Reyes becomes a valuable asset as the backup infielder, and Flores is freed up to become a lefty killer at first base and off the bench. Frazier also would add some defensive stability to a team that might already be pushing things in the outfield with Curtis Granderson in center and Bruce in right.
Wright once said, "I take great pride in going out there and playing through pain." Unfortunately, his body hasn't been able to hold together, and if his career does continue, it's likely to come with pain. Wright has four years remaining on his contract, for which he is owed $67 million. The Mets might actually be better off if Wright is unable to play, allowing them to collect on the insurance on his contract, similar to what happened last season with Prince Fielder and the Texas Rangers.
The writer of The Captain's Blog tweeted Wednesday that Wright "has become the Mets' Don Mattingly, though I don't think Mets fans appreciated him as much." I don't know if I agree with that. I live in Connecticut and know Mets fans, and they certainly still have a strong affection for him, even as the injuries piled up. Plus, let's be honest: If Twitter had been around when Mattingly averaged 10 home runs per season over his final six years, he would have been eviscerated at times as well.
There are obvious similarities, of course, starting with the over-the-top nicknames Donnie Baseball and Captain America. Neither has won a World Series, although Wright at least played in one. Most notable, of course, is that both were on Hall of Fame paths before injuries.
In his first four full seasons, ages 22 to 25, Wright averaged .311/.394/.534 with 29 home runs and 112 RBIs. He was one of the best all-around players in the game: power, walks, average and defense, and he even stole 34 bases in 2007. The Mets reached Game 7 of the NLCS in 2006, and Wright might have won the MVP award in 2007 if the Mets hadn't folded down the stretch. Don't blame Wright, however; he hit .352 with 20 RBIs in September and ended the season with a 17-game hitting streak. They blew another division lead the following September. Again, it wasn't Wright's fault: He hit .340/.416/.577 in the final month.
When he was entering his prime, Wright looked like a perennial MVP candidate. Instead, he battled inconsistency. The Mets moved into Citi Field in 2009, and whether Wright got psyched out by the big dimensions -- which have since been reduced -- or just had a bad season, he slugged just 10 home runs. His power returned in 2010, but the strikeouts rose and the batting average dropped. He suffered a stress fracture in his back in 2011 and hit .254 in 102 games but rebounded to finish sixth in the MVP voting in 2012 and hit .307/.390/.514 in 2013.
After a breakout season in 2006, Wright had told Men's Health magazine, "There are so many players out there who are better than me talentwise. But I like to think I'll outwork all of them."
That modest attitude made him a fan favorite in Queens, and Wright certainly made the most of his talent. Again, this isn't meant to be a eulogy, and I hope he can make it back, but you have to wonder how much ability remains in that cracked and crumbled body.

Enjoy Contemporary Art in Scenic Switzerland at Europe's Renowned Sculpture ExhibitionEurope's largest sculpture exhibition returns to Grand Resort Bad Ragaz this year, where internationally-renowned artists transform the leading wellbeing and medical health resort into a magnet for art lovers. The Swiss Triennial Festival of Sculpture, known as Bad RagARTz, will be held for the sixth time in 2015, and aims to be bigger and better than its predecessors, a beacon of the art world and the largest Swiss sculpture event of its kind. The award-winning resort will also be offering a fantastic 3-night package to all guests in light of Bad RagARTz, providing guests with a chance to be at the heart of the exhibition, set amongst luxurious surroundings.
From 9th May until 1st November 2015, approximately 400 sculptures will be installed in public areas of Bad Ragaz in Switzerland's Sargans region and Vaduz in Liechtenstein, thanks to masters of the art world such as David Bill, Robert Indermaur, Mimmo Paladino, Jörg Plickat, Graziano Pompili, Kan Yasuda and many more. For artists this year, the theme will be dedicated to the colour blue. This is in part as a tribute to the region's 175th anniversary of thermal water but also as a symbol of the sky, as well as the future, peace and youth.
Striving for the success of previous events across Vaduz, Altes Bad Pfäfers and Bad Ragaz in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012, some 10,000 visitors are expected for the event's opening on 9th May 2015. During the following six months all eyes will be on Grand Resort Bad Ragaz as it becomes a worldwide cultural phenomenon, hosting not only the art trail but concerts, literary tours and a chance to meet the artists. In the last 15 years, over a million visitors have been drawn to bold and beautiful installations of all shapes, sizes and materials. Spanning a period from late spring, through to summer and autumn, the surroundings of the region change colour, which is reflected in the changing appearance of the sculptures. Visitors are encouraged to take a journey through each artist's interpretation of the world against the spellbinding backdrop of the mountains and the Rhine Valley. Meanwhile, with a complimentary entry, the concept of free art for everyone is at the heart of initiator, Dr. Rolf Hohmeister's, plan.
Dr. Hohmeister is a highly-regarded rheumatology specialist at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz's Medical Health Centre and is the longest-serving member of staff at the hotel as well as patron of the arts. Together with his wife Esther, Dr. Hohmeister's passion for art has been the driving force behind Bad RagARTz since its inception in 2000. His mantra is "feelings not francs" and says, "This is no museum. There are no doors and no entry fee. You only need the willingness to encounter art wherever you go." When he took out a mortgage on his house to finance the first exhibition, his critics predicted bankruptcy. Today, the triennial event is funded by sponsors and is the biggest sculpture exhibition in Europe attracting 480,000 visitors in 2012. The last five events have seen 218 artists from 26 countries donate their work, and in 2012, art weighing 2,000 tonnes made up the trail.
Rolf and Esther Hohmeister firmly believe that Bad Ragaz will continue to bring joy for many years to come: "Bad RagARTz is a work of art in itself; a brand en-route to major success. Far away from the rigid limits imposed by museums, the art has escaped the isolated ivory tower and reached out to people."
The Bad RagARTz package includes:
• 3 nights including a generous buffet breakfast
• 36.5° wellbeing package
• Welcome drink at the bar
• Daily 4-course lunch or dinner in the Restaurant Bel-Air (15 GaultMillau points) or in the Restaurant Olives d'Or
• Bad RagARTz catalogue
• Private tour of Bad RagARTz (120 min.)
• Bad RagARTz farewell gift
• Priced at CHF 385/ £268* per person per night in a double room. Valid from 9th May – 30th October 2015.
Nightly rates at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz start from 490 Swiss Francs (approx £330) staying in a double room. Rates include breakfast, welcome aperitif, use of the 36.5° Wellbeing & Thermal Spa area and Tamina Therme, fresh fruit and Ragaz water each day and daily fitness and relaxation lessons as well as VAT.
*Prices in Pound Sterling are according to today's exchange rate.

ARAMON VALDELINARES Spain (Reuters) - Colombian Nairo Quintana snatched the overall leader's red jersey at the Tour of Spain on Sunday after Alberto Contador's late attack caused havoc in a group of favorites on the ninth stage.
Spain's Contador jumped away from a group of top guns and built a small gap over his rivals some two kilometers from the finish of the 185-km ride from Carboneras de Guadazaon.
Winner Anacona of Colombia took the day's laurels after dropping his breakaway companions in the last climb, an 8-km ascent at an average gradient of 6.6 percent.
Giro d'Italia winner Quintana and Spain's Joaquim Rodriguez were the only riders who managed to catch Contador after the double Tour de France champion's brutal acceleration left his rivals stuck on the tar on an unusually wet day on the Vuelta.
Contador was a surprise starter last weekend in Jerez de la Frontera after fracturing his shinbone in the 10th stage of the Tour de France last month.
"It was a very good day for Alberto and I think everyone saw a very strong Contador in the finale," his Tinkoff-Saxo sports director said.
Quintana now leads Contador by three seconds overall with the Colombian's Movistar team mate Alejandro Valverde of Spain, who started the day in the red jersey, dropping to third eight seconds off the pace.
"I usually go well in all weather conditions but I was a little affected by the heat in the first days," said Quintana, who was second overall in last year's Tour de France.
"Today I had good legs and I worked to keep the jersey in the team."
Britain's Chris Froome, who also lost ground, is fifth, 28 seconds behind Quintana as Anacona moved up to fourth overall.
"In the finale I didn't have the legs to follow the top guys when they went," said Froome, who crashed out of the Tour de France on the fifth stage.
"But I think given where I've come from on the back of the Tour and the build-up into the race I'm really happy with how things have gone so far.
"I can definitely feel I'm starting to pick up that race rhythm back into my legs and I'm looking forward to the second half of this race."
Lampre-Merida rider Anacona dropped breakaway companions Bob Jungels of Luxembourg and Spain's Javi Moreno with 6.5 km left and never looked back.
Monday is a rest day and Tuesday's 10th stage is a 36.7-km individual time trial.

So imagine my surprise when I strolled into Topshop and saw that the jewelry was on mega sale. My absolute favorite thing about Topshop is definitely the accessories. I mean, of course I love everything style-wise, but for some reason I think they have the most adorable/trendy jewelry and accessories for very reasonable prices (especially when they're 50-70% off!) Check out what I picked up and let me know which ones are your favorite.
Do you shop at Topshop? These rings are a little large on me, I should add that. I would definitely recommend going a size down. Normally I do, but I couldn't pass up this awesome sale and not everything was in my size! Let me know what you like to pick up. Tweet me some suggestions of what I should buy next time I'm there.

COMING August 2018
In this semi sequel to 'Men Are Dogs,' four senior women try to fight the shrinking economy and their shrinking pocketbooks by opening up a home phone sex service after receiving an unsolicited obscene phone call! This is an adult bawdy comedy and although two characters are reprised from 'Men Are Dogs' the play stands on it's own and a production of the earlier play is not a pre- requisite!
What the critics said!
"A comedy masterpiece! Mr. Simonelli has provided a timely take on how four seniors cope with a shrinking .economy and their shrinking pocketbooks! Go see it now!"
Joe Franklin - Bloomberg Radio
"Go see Old Ringers to experience the lighter side of the economic downturn as told by comic playwright Joe Simonelli. Balancing obscenity with drier subjects like social security checks, keeps the play believable but doesn't deract from it's raucous, crowd pleasing comedy!"

An Italian ship owner spent $96,000 at Sotheby's yesterday for a 20th-century rocking chair once used by President John F. Kennedy. If the price sounds astronomical, it seemed like a bargain to those who were at the York Avenue auction house when another Kennedy rocker brought $442,500 nine years ago.
The rocker -- and household objects like chipped china, used table linens, old records and well-worn furniture from various Kennedy family homes in Hyannis Port and Martha's Vineyard, Mass., as well as New Jersey, New York and Virginia -- are being auctioned over three days this week. It's Caroline Kennedy's version of a garage sale.
In five days before the auctions, 5,000 people viewed the 691 lots, artfully arranged in roomlike settings. As of yesterday, officials at Sotheby's reported, 10,000 copies of the 380-page paperback catalog had been sold, for $50 each. (In 1996, 30,000 people inspected the Kennedy offerings, and the 584-page catalog, which cost $90 in hardcover and $45 in paperback, sold 100,000 copies.)
"Most of this stuff is generic; you can pick it up anywhere," said Barry Landau, a collector of presidential memorabilia. "I'm a dog lover, and there's only one thing in the sale I want," he said, pointing to a watercolor of Charlie, a Welsh terrier, that hung in the family quarters of the White House. Looking around the room, Mr. Landau added, "I don't see any of the big-shot dealers here."
Nor was Caroline Kennedy on hand to watch the first day of the sales. But Eunice Shriver, her aunt, was looking down from a skybox above the salesroom. So was Mrs. Shriver's sister, Patricia Lawford.Continue reading the main story
More than 300 people attended the morning sale, to watch and to buy. But auction house executives said thousands had left bids. Sotheby's put the catalog online, and many people downloaded the bid form rather than going to the sale in person.
Lucio Zagari, who bought the rocking chair, bid by telephone from his office in London. "I am 68, so I was young during the cold war," Mr. Zagari said. "I have a nice remembrance of the American people, particularly John Kennedy."
Mr. Zagari, who lives in Naples and London, said he would never forget seeing Kennedy when he visited Naples. "He was so young and handsome," he said. "I remember the time, the minute, the hour when he died." His firstborn son is named Raphael John Fitzgerald, Mr. Zigari said, adding, "I feel a connection to the Kennedy family."
He wasn't alone. For many, the chance to buy even a tiny remembrance of the Kennedys seemed like one in a lifetime. Skippy Weinstein, a New Jersey lawyer, paid $18,000 for a red wool flannel blanket with the initials J.F.K. monogrammed on it in black. Mr. Weinstein said that he had no idea what he would do with the blanket. "But it's a nice piece of memorabilia," he added.
Mr. Weinstein also tried to buy Jacqueline Kennedy's personal copy of a ceremonial program for the dedication of a Kennedy memorial in December 1965 at Runnymede, England, where the Magna Carta was signed in 1215. The program, which contains the text of addresses by the principal speakers -- including Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister Harold Wilson, former Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and Dean Rusk, the United States secretary of state -- was expected to bring $1,000 to $1,500. The program, which has the initials J.B.K. embossed in gilt, was sold for $19,200.
(Prices include Sotheby's 20 percent of the first $200,000 and 12 percent of the rest. Estimates do not reflect commissions.)
Throughout the sale, the estimates Sotheby's experts had put on objects seemed irrelevant. Most lots had multiple bidders, and most of the prices soared to more than 10 times what anyone had expected.
A folk painting attributed to Frederick Mayhew, "Portrait of Captain Platt Out of Portsmouth, With a Clipper Ship in the Distance," circa 1830, sold for $51,000. A painting of Caroline and her brother, John F. Kennedy Jr., reading, painted by Aaron Shikler in 1968, also sold for $51,000. Both buyers were described by Sotheby's experts only as American collectors.
By the end of yesterday's two sessions, the sale had brought $1.7 million. Sotheby's experts had predicted that the entire three days of sales would bring only $1 million.
Those who fear they have missed their chance to own something from the Kennedy dynasty can take heart: Jonathan Greenstein, a businessman from Vancouver who works for the owner of www.kingsolomons.com, an online casino, was buying as much as he could. By the end of the morning he had bought drinking glasses, tumblers and a card table. And he was hoping to buy more throughout the week, especially items with a Kennedy monogram or inscription.
"We are buying items for promotional purposes, to give away as prizes," Mr. Greenstein said. "I'm amazed at what things fetched."Continue reading the main story

text: This week on The Guardian Podcast with Ryn Melberg we discuss 3 huge governance and IT security failures. A couple of weeks ago, there was what can only be described as a very unusual coincidence. On July 8, 2015 the New York Stock Exchange, The Wall Street Journal and United Airlines were taken off the web by what were reported to be 'technical glitches'. Now this is not a conspiracy show, there are plenty of those out there already. But at the very least, it is a level of failure that would cause even the most jaded to consider that this was done deliberately. Ryn helps us sort out what these 3 organizations had in common and why they were easy targets.

COIT Services of Cleveland is a company locally owned by a native Clevelander. It is a customer-service driven company committed to providing quality cleaning and restoration services to the homes and businesses of Northeastern Ohio.
Services originated from a combination of Hollywood Cleaners; which was located on the west side and Tag Cleaners; which was located on the east side of Cleveland. These were both garment-cleaning companies which were founded in the 1930s. Over the years, Hollywood acquired Drapery Masters (1973), joined COIT Services (1991) and acquired West Side Carpet Cleaning in 1997( a 116 year old company) to expand into the related specialties of cleaning draperies, carpets, area rugs, furniture and air ducts. In 2000 the company sold the original Hollywood Cleaners operation to focus on delivering services in the carpet, area rugs, drapery, upholstery, air ducts and tile and grout sectors. Joining the COIT franchise community brought the best of two worlds- a locally owned business that understood the Cleveland market, and the support of a national boutique franchise system.
COIT Services has always operated under the mission that quality customer service is the key to running a successful business. Our goal is to provide the highest quality, guaranteed service with pride, efficiency and convenience for our valued customers. In order to execute this goal we treat our customers; drape, furniture, carpets and other home items as their valuable possessions. We believe that employee and customer interaction should be direct and honest in order to provide the highest quality of service possible. We hope that our customers are always satisfied with services that we offer, and encourage them to contact us with any questions or comments they may have!

Admissions Requirements (Domestic)
Students who wish to pursue a degree program must apply for admission. An application is available online, or by contacting the admissions office. Students who have been accepted to the College are termed "matriculated." You must be matriculated to receive financial aid.
Tompkins Cortland Community College is fully accredited by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York and is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, 267-284-5000. Copies of these documents are on file in the Office of the President.
Admission of New Students
If you wish to enroll as a new student in a degree program at Tompkins Cortland, either full-time or part-time, you will need to apply for admission. Enrolling in a degree program is called matriculation. Matriculation is required for financial aid eligibility. In other words, you must be enrolled in a degree program to be eligible for financial aid. In order to be accepted for matriculation you must submit an official high school transcript or GED/TASC score report.
Nursing Admissions
Although the College has an open enrollment admissions policy, admission to the nursing program is selective. Visit the nursing admissions page for detailed information.
Admission of Transfer Students
Students who have attended another college should follow the same admissions procedures as listed for new students and, in addition, provide an official academic transcript from all colleges attended since graduating from high school (even if no college credit was earned). All official transcripts must be requested by you and sent directly from the former college or university to the admissions office. A student will not be admitted and transfer credit cannot be granted unless all official transcripts are provided.
Transfer credit will be granted for course work completed with a minimum grade of 2.0 (C) at a regionally accredited college. If you attended any other college or university, request that your previous college send an official academic transcript to the admissions office. Transfer credit is not calculated into a student's grade point average at the College.
Admission of Non-High School Graduates
As of July 1, 2012, Federal and State regulations changed and no longer allow students who are not high school graduates (or equivalent) to be admitted at SUNY community colleges. However, students may still be admitted if they had earned 6 college credits prior to July 1, 2012. To meet state requirements, a student must also have met "ability to benefit" on our Accuplacer test. If they do not meet this criteria, their options are to enroll at Tompkins Cortland as a non-admitted student to pursue the 24-credit hour equivalency diploma (but students will have no financial aid and must pay for all expenses) or to pursue a GED. Once a student has earned their GED, he or she may reapply and be admitted at Tompkins Cortland.
Admission of Home-Schooled Applicants
Students who have been home-schooled may apply for admission at the College if they have reached compulsory age (the school year during which they turned 16 has ended). Documentation of a valid and in-effect individualized home instruction plan (IHIP) pursuant to section 100.10 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education must be submitted. A student may also submit a letter of substantial equivalency from their home district Superintendent of Schools (or comparable chief school administrator) verifying that their program was substantially equivalent to a four-year high school program. Home-schooled students unable to obtain this documentation must receive a high school equivalency diploma by passing the TASC or by completing the 24-Credit Hour Program. In all cases, home-schooled students must complete the College's assessment testing.
Admission of Students from Non-Registered NYS High Schools
Students who have attended a non-registered high school in New York State must receive a letter of substantial equivalency from their home district Superintendent of Schools (or comparable chief school administrator) verifying that their program was substantially equivalent to a four-year high school program. If they cannot get this letter, they must follow the requirements for admission of non-high school graduates.
Admission of Students with a Degree from a Previous College/University
Students seeking to earn a degree who have already earned a degree from a regionally accredited college or university or any institution in New York State authorized by the Board of Regents to confer degrees can use the prior degree as verification of high school graduation (or equivalent). An official transcript or copy of the student's diploma from the previous institution will be acceptable documentation for high school equivalency, however the official transcripts from all previous colleges and universities must be submitted for admission.
Admission of Students from non-New York State Correspondence Schools
According to the New York State Education Department, when a student has completed a non-New York State high school program through correspondence study, the correspondence school must be recognized, authorized, or approved by the state educational entity where the correspondence school is located, and the student must be a resident of that state. Appropriate entities include: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools; the New England Association of Colleges and Schools; the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges; the Northwest Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities; the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Residents of New York state may not use a high school program of correspondence study to meet the requirements for a secondary education in New York state - these students must follow the requirements for the admission of non-high school graduates.
Admission of Students Previously Dismissed from a College for Disciplinary Reasons
Deadline for Fall: July 15
Tompkins Cortland will consider an application for admission from these students, however, the College reserves the right to admit or deny any application. After applying, students must submit a detailed summary of the violations, a personal statement, and a letter of recommendation, however, certain situations may require additional information and, in most cases, a meeting with the ex-offender committee.
Admission of Students on Repeat Suspension
Students who have been placed on Repeat Suspension will be suspended for a full academic year including summer and winter sessions. To return to the College, students must reapply for admission.
Academic Assessment
Students admitted to a degree or certificate program will be academically assessed before registration. Academic assessment includes a review of high school and college (if applicable) transcripts and usually includes placement testing in reading, writing, and math to determine skill levels. In some cases, you may be required to register for skill building courses as a result of these initial placement tests. Non-native speakers of English may be required to take an English language proficiency test. Following assessment, an academic advisor will help you choose courses that suit your skills and interests. The admissions office evaluates credentials on a rolling basis. You will be notified of your status soon after we receive a completed application. If you're applying during your senior year of high school, follow up with your guidance office to ensure that your final high school transcript is submitted upon graduation.
The College does not insure or assume responsibility for any personal property owned by an individual. Therefore, it is your responsibility to provide proper insurance protection against loss of any personal property brought on campus.
Accident Insurance – Mandatory
Full-time students are charged a mandatory accident insurance fee. Students are provided with a brochure explaining the benefits in detail. Additional information is available from the Student Health Center.
Title IV Refund Policy
The U.S. Department of Education assumes that you earn your aid based on the period of time you remain enrolled. During the first 60 percent of the semester you earn Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time you remain enrolled. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns all aid for the semester. Unearned funds must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education.
The key to determining the period of enrollment is the withdrawal date. The percentage of the period that you remain enrolled is derived by dividing the number of days prior to the withdrawal date by the number of days in the semester.
Withdrawal from the College
You can officially withdraw by notifying the Enrollment Services Center at the College.
The withdrawal date for each is determined as follows:
Official Withdrawal: You should notify an enrollment services specialist of intent. A withdrawal form will be completed at that time and an exit interview conducted with appropriate College personnel.
Withdrawal Without Notification: In general, the College will use the midpoint of the semester as the withdrawal date for students ceasing academically related activity without notification to the College. If an academically related activity can be documented beyond this point, then that date will be used for the purposes of Title IV refunds.
Administrative Withdrawal (AW): Instructors may administratively withdraw students if they have ceased to attend classes prior to the end of the withdrawal period. A grade notation of "AW" will be made on the permanent academic record. The AW grade is not calculated into the student's GPA, but does count toward the student's earned/attempted credit ratio. If the instructor does not assign as AW to a non-attending student, a final grade of F will be posted at the end of the semester.
Delinquent Accounts
Students with delinquent accounts will be placed on the stop list. You will not be allowed to register for any future semesters and your transcripts will be withheld until the account is paid in full. The account may be assigned to a collection agency. The College will assign the outstanding balance plus the collection agency fees and/or reasonable cost for collection.

Checking if a .NET assembly is compiled for 32 bit or 64 bit execution
The traditional way of checking whether a program or dll is compiled as 32 bit or 64 bit is to use the Microsoft DumpBin utility with the /HEADERS switch. However, this doesn't work for .NET assemblies as the first part of the file is a bootstrap for the .NET runtime and DumpBin will always indicate that the file is 32 bit regardless of whether the .NET code is 32 bit or 64 bit.
The solution is to use the CorFlags utility that ships as part of the Microsoft Platform SDK and the .NET Framework SDK. The output includes a 32BIT value that is set to either 0 to indicate the program is not specifically compiled as 32 bit only (i.e. it's 64 bit capable) or 1 to indicate it is 32 bit only. For example, this is the output for an assembly compiled using a Platform Target of AnyCPU:
Version : v2.0.50727
CLR Header: 2.5
CorFlags : 9
Signed : 1
And this is the output for an assembly compiled with a Platform Target of x86:
Version : v2.0.50727
CLR Header: 2.5
CorFlags : 11
Signed : 1
Dynamic load of 32 bit class library from 32 bit Windows Service fails with BadImageFormatException
We have an HL7 interface that runs as a Windows Service that is deployed at half a dozen customer sites. Each site has slightly differing interfacing requirements and this is handled using a site specific assembly that is dynamically loaded by the service.
Until recently we haven't had to worry about whether the service was running as a 32 bit or 64 bit process but some of the more recent deployments have used a site specific plugin assembly that has dependencies on other 32 bit assemblies. So, the target of the automated build was changed from 'Any CPU' to 'x86'. Note that no change was made to the solution or project files.
A few weeks later I deployed a new version of a plugin assembly to a test environment at one of our customer sites and found that the service would not start due to a BadImageFormat Exception being thrown when the service tried to dynamically load the plugin assembly. The intention was that all class library assemblies would be compiled as 'AnyCPU' but in fact this plugin assembly had been targeted to 'x86' and so was 32 bit only. This should not have been a problem however as the Windows Service executable was also compiled as 32 bit only.
I used DumpBin.exe to confirm that the headers in the two assemblies indicated that these were 32 bit only. [Edit: See this post that explains why this doesn't work.]
Then I enabled fusion logging to see why the load was failing and at first glance the log didn't appear to shed any light on why the load failure was happening:
*** Assembly Binder Log Entry (10/07/2013 @ 11:52:12) ***
The operation failed.
Bind result: hr = 0x8007000b. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

ERR: Failed to complete setup of assembly (hr = 0x8007000b). Probing terminated.
It took me a few minutes to spot that line 6 indicates that the 64 bit loader is being used:
Assembly manager loaded from: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\mscorwks.dll
Similarly, line 23 indicates that the machine configuration file being used is from the Framework64 folder.
This doesn't make any sense as the service executable is running as a 32 bit process.
It seems that setting the PlatformTarget property to "x86" when invoking MSBuild in the automated build to build the project files is not having the effect I thought it did.
The project files in Visual Studio are set to PlatformTarget = "AnyCPU" and have references to 64 bit Framework assemblies. When the project files are compiled in the automated build with PlatformTarget="x86″ the 32 bit flag is set on the assemblies created but the 64 bit framework assembly references remain unchanged.
The solution was to configure the platform targets for each project in Visual Studio as required ("x86" for executables and "AnyCPU" for class libraries) and then update the automated build to build the solution files rather than the project files.

Dear Gov. Romney and President Obama:
No matter who wins the election for the presidency tomorrow, many Americans are hopeful the winner will make changes that improve the long-term prospects for our nation's children. For years, Republican and Democrat politicians alike have ignored long-term problems that will affect the next generation, in favor of taking care of those who will vote for them in the next election.
Not only does the next generation not have a say (because they can't vote), they also don't get many of the benefits that are targeted to other segments of the population. The real whopper is, they also get stuck with the bills for all of the goodies that went to everybody else.
To fix this problem, it will be necessary for politicians to stop thinking about their own re-elections. That means they will have to stop pandering to seniors, and students, and everyone else in between and start thinking about the future. Start thinking about kids.
The next generation is the first generation in American history that is not expected to have a better quality of life than the one that came before it. All Americans should be ashamed of this. Most parents frequently remind their kids to share and to think about others, but no one seems to be thinking about them.
What should we do?

If, like me, you are petite, (that's 5 4 tall or less for the uninitiated), you will know that dressing fashionably can be extra difficult.
For example, if most of your jewelry is set in yellow gold, you may want to purchase your diamond solitaire earrings, set in yellow gold as well, and vice versa. Knotwork Designs Celtic knotwork designs are perhaps the most well known celtic symbols; crafted by artisans these designs are woven into rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants and wedding bands. Whether purchasing claddagh jewelry or celitc jewelry, you can be assured that you are investing in gems that are rich in symbolism and tradition.
Sometimes a jeweler will cut a diamond wider and flatter (shallow) in order to make the diamond look bigger. Dating from the middle of the nineteenth century, vintage jewelry is available to those who love tradition and heritage. Traditional rings are also much in demand because they are unique in style and represent status, heritage, and culture to the people who own it.
There are several factors affecting diamond quality, often called the four Cs. Hip hop jewelry is part of the culture and is absolutely nothing new, the only thing new is that hip hop is mainstream and that rap artist are not just icons to inner city youth but now to every suburb around the globe in the western world. The author of this is misterbling whom is the official online source for hip hop jewelry and bling bling Since last fall I have anxiously awaited the arrival of spring.
The semi precious stones for next season have to be peridot and bright cubic zirconia, there is still a strong influence of men and women wearing cubic zirconia instead of diamonds. This property of colouration by heat has been used particularly in the manufacture of ladies jewelery for making eye catching unique designs in earrings, necklaces and modern, trendy titanium rings. In the making of rings, titanium can also be inlaid with precious metals and set with precious stones and although the material is more difficult to work with because of its strength, once made you will have a beautiful piece of jewelery that will look good and last a lifetime.
And if you are search for a diamond engagement ring, we have a large and growing directory of trusted online jewelers. Jewelry should not be worn with a bathing suit; both perfume and jewelry should not be worn at the gym. Titanium rings have become increasingly popular as wedding rings in part because they will stand up to more wear and tear than precious metals but probably just as much because of the look.
The other diamond hybrid that provides varieties of articles is the moissanite diamond ring. Below are the top five sterling silver bracelets. This sterling silver bracelet is worn securely on the wrist and you can also pair it up with a matching necklace.
The other important factor is that the color of cubic zirconia diamond alternative does not fade away easily and remains for longer duration. These bracelets are available in different shapes, sizes and styles. All of the different sterling silver bracelets make incredible and reasonably priced gifts for holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries or any other special occasion.
But with respect to moissanite the cubic zirconia has a wide market in the field of diamond hybrid as they are cheaper in cost and are easy to maintain. Silver jewelry is frequently mistaken for other new precious metals as well as white gold and platinum. The sterling silver bracelets have been very popular among women.
These rings are the best option to the diamond alternative rings. By cleaning your sterling silver bracelets at regular intervals you'll never even observe anything other than a stunning polish and gleam. Sterlingsilver can be crafted into a lot of different jewelry items including charms, rings and chains and bracelets.
Diamonds ability to refract light is dependant on its degree of whiteness, making the whitest of white diamonds considerably more valuable than there lesser-white counterparts. Would you like your jewelry to look more stunning than ever. Would you like your jewelry to gain compliments every time you wear it.
If you are shopping for a diamond wedding ring or a diamond engagement ring, then it is important that you pay close attention to the value of a diamond's color. The cost of a jewelry box is dependant upon many variables. In solid hardwood, a jewelry box should cost about $100 to $300 depending on size, but fancy jewelry boxes can cost much more.
Some even have bezels inlaid with diamonds or zirconia. Platinum rings are popular because of both their beauty and durability. Platinum's high melting point makes it more difficult to melt and mold into elaborate and pretty pieces of jewelry, thus platinum jewelry is expensive.
