While most developers are working on their DS offerings the Elink is a standalone cart that tries to provide gamers, who may have missed out on the GBA years, a chance to catch up. This relatively new cart has the advantage of time and knowledge of the GBA scene up its sleeve. So does it take advantage of that or does it degenerate into a cart no better than something made four years ago? Read on to find out. Many thanks to the Elink Team for providing this review sample. Now let's check out the official feature list. Official Feature List: Works with the GBA/GBASP/GBM/NDS/NDSL/iDS/iDSL Built-in USB writer with a transfer speed from 140KB/s-200K/s Supports GBA linkage games for NDS Cheat function SMS function which allows you to store 32+ save games Add or replace games High Quality FLASH chip ensures that games run at high speed Power saving / Translucent game menu / Multi-language interface / etc... Packaging and Contents First impressions are always very important and the Elink doesn't disappoint. It arrived in a matte black box with silver lettering which looked very professional and even business-like. Upon opening the box you will find an installation CD with the software and drivers which is always very nice to see. Further inside the box you'll find the cart and linker itself along with a very handy set of instructions to use your new flash card. The box also has a picture to remind you that the cart will work on all current Nintendo handhelds and also a handy picture of six features the cart claims to have; Music & MP3, Movie, Game, Book, SMS and USB (more on that later). Box Contents Elink USB cable Installation CD Instructions Overall the packaging is very nice and will certainly keep the cart safe during shipping. It's great to see an installation CD and instructions included as all too often they are left out, which is a hindrance to first time flash card buyers. Cart & Linker Design I'm happy to say the card has a very solid build quality and it fits snugly into both the DS and GBA. It doesn't scrape or stick in the slot. They've had years to perfect the GBA flash card mould and it's shown in this card. The plastic is strong, durable and the PCB doesn't rattle. There is a mini USB connection in the very top of the cart which is used to write to it. The Elink needs to be inserted into a DS or GBA and be powered on before you write to it, akin to the old EZFA. This is a little annoying as even the EFA-Linker from back in 2004, which also featured a mini USB port, could be written to without the need to be inserted and set up inside a DS or GBA; Just plug the cable in and connect to the PC. The linker design is certainly archaic. One of the great features about GBA flash carts was that you could dump your own games with the included writer ala EZ-flash and Ewin. You won't be able to do that with the Elink, which is a shame. Setting Up & Using Installation & Connection Sorry Mac and Linux users, this cart is Windows only. The included installation CD includes the writing software and USB drivers. The software will install just fine but the drivers require you to manually install them through your device manager or the auto detect when connecting the USB cable. For those that aren't too computer literate this may be a little confusing at first, here's how to go about it: 1. After installing the software, connect the USB cable to both your PC and the flash cart. A 'new device found' box should appear after a short wait. 2. It will ask you to either search the internet to find the drivers or allow you to search for them yourself. Select that you will search for them yourself. 3. In search choose to select the directory and point it to the 'ELINKDRV' folder inside of the software folder you installed earlier. 4. With any luck the drivers should install without a hitch. Select yes to any certificates. You'll now be almost ready to start writing files to the Elink. Elink Software Do you see piece of paper included in the box with instructions on how to write files to the cart? Good, throw it into the nearest bin. The instructions will tell you to insert the cart into your DS/GBA and turn it on before starting up the software. That doesn't work. In order to get the Elink to enter USB mode you need to start up the PC side software first then turn on your DS/GBA (on a DS you should start GBA mode). After a second or two the GUI screen will change to a 'USB online' screen. If you don't have that screen you can't write files to the cart. I originally thought my Elink was broken until I fiddled around with it and discovered that the instructions were a shambles and I tried things out of order instead. The software has a lot of peculiarities and none of them good. The instructions explicitly state that the Elink should be connected a USB port attached to your PC motherboard rather than a front port or USB hub to 'ensure the steady and rapid burning'. So I tested this out. I connected the Elink to my front USB port only to find I could not write more than one GBA file to the cart without the software suffering a failure and terminating. Most strange, especially when all my previous GBA linkers have worked fine from front mounted USB ports. After moving to a rear USB port and being asked to go through the driver install process again I started up the software again and magically it allowed me to burn more than one GBA file at a time. I was also originally annoyed that my files didn't keep their original file names on the Elink and instead took on a jumble of pre determined ROM release names, none of them the correct name. My backed up copy of Mario Kart Super Circuit (English) was renamed '0071 – Mario Kart Advance', 'Pokemon Emerald' became '1986 – Pocket Monsters Emerald' and 'Super Mario Advance 2' strangely became 'SUPER MARIOBAA2E'. This was both frustrating and annoying; however I luckily found the option to rename files before they were written to the cart which was tucked away under 'cheats'. Why it was hiding under 'cheats' I don't think I'll ever understand. It's important to note that while the Elink is written to via USB, do not mistake it for a USB storage device. That is, you cannot simply view it in explorer and drag & drop files onto it. Annoyingly you must write and delete files in order. So for example, if you had seven games on your cart you would have to delete all seven games just to go back and delete the first one. You do have the feature to 'replace' games at the beginning. But if your game is bigger than the one currently written it won't work. This is something I haven't seen in years. This is made more frustrating because the cart software is rather unwieldy and takes a while to copy files across, unlike the G6 Flash which worked as a USB storage device with fast copy times. GUI (OS) There really isn't much to say about the GUI because there really isn't much of a GUI. A simple but nicely presented list of the GBA files on the cart is all you'll get. Additional Features Soft Reset I'm pleased to say soft reset works great. Every game I've tried to run reset back to the Elink menu without a hitch. Simply hit L+R+A+B. This gets a definite thumbs up from me as the ability to quickly jump between games and other features is something no cart should be without. Cheat Support The Elink software comes pre-packed with a bunch of CHT cheat files for quite a substantial amount of games. Unfortunately these files aren't written to the cart to be enabled and disabled whenever you wish. They are instead patched into the GBA ROM itself when written to the cart. Music & MP3 Support (as advertised on the side of the box) There is none Movie Support The cake is a lie! L+R+SELECT 'Game by Press Key L + R + SELECT, is opened or closed the ordinary' is written on the instructions. I still haven't figured out what this could mean. Instead I'm left to guess. I had thought it was the ability to enable or disable cheats while in game but that proved false as my cheats remained on regardless of what I pressed. This cart unfortunately does not feature a real-time clock, which is disappointing to see. Performance All tests were conducted with software v3.73c. So how does the Elink stack-up when it comes down to the actual performance of the cart? Well as far as write times go they are very slow when you think about how we've been spoilt with fast write times on the G6 Flash and EZ-Flash III. Here's the time it takes to write from the PC to the cart: 32Mbit – 31 seconds 128mbit – 1 minute 51 seconds Thankfully every game I've tried loaded and ran just fine. There were no slowdowns or hitches in actually running games. The only time there were any graphical hiccups was sometimes when cheats were applied to a game. Using invincibility in Super Mario Advance 4 for example made Mario move with only one frame of animation. Soft reset worked perfectly for every game tested, I found no games that were incompatible in my testing period. Simply hit L+R+A+B and you'll be booted back to the Elink menu. One of the nice features is that when soft resetting the save file kept in the battery is written to the cart. This means that if the cart's battery were ever to run dry you would still be able to keep your save by simply soft resetting once you are done playing. However, not all is good. The quirky software I talked about earlier and frustrating linker design really hamper the experience. The Elink is really lacking in any notable features that put it higher than any GBA cart made in the last three years. The cheats are pre-patched to the ROM and are unable to be enabled or disabled, and often times the cheat list would be written in strange computer scrawl and be completely unreadable, which I'm assuming is a leftover of this cart's very obvious Chinese origins. The Elink also does not feature any real-time clock what-so-ever, which is a real shame as far as ease of use and compatibility goes. You'd think that a cart that is completely GBA focused would include a real-time clock, but obviously not. The save management system is also annoying as you cannot view any of the saves on the cart. You can backup all the saves with an easy one button press via the Elink software which is really appreciate however, but as far as managing and viewing what's on the cart goes it falls far short. The Elink boasts it can store 32+ save games on the cart at any one time yet it would work so much better if it adopted a save system like the EZ-Flash III which placed and kept every save game inside a separate 'save' folder. This folder could be viewed, backed up and written to with ease. With the Elink the saves are invisible and therefore difficult to manage. The software has a very easy built-in Ebook and GB/C (via Goomba) support, which is simple to manage and definitely appreciated. But these are features every GBA cart can use. The music, mp3 and video support shown on the side of the box are completely non-existent. The software will only let you write .GBA files to the cart and the software package comes with no conversion software. The fact that you cannot delete files out of order on the cart is downright annoying and is not something you had to put up with later on in the GBA flash cart scene. Quite simply put, when I was using the Elink I felt like I was transported back three or four years to when GBA carts were cumbersome and feature lacking. Conclusion The Elink hasn't brought us back to the glory days of the GBA scene, it has instead backpedalled us to the early days of GBA flash carts. Remember those days in 2003 and earlier when flash carts were unwieldy, feature lacking, slow and everything was a hassle to get working? The Elink is of a modern build but not a modern design. The software and linker design are quirky in that old-timey way and definitely do not stand up to today's standards or even the standards set years ago. The cart doesn't even feature a real-time clock. One of the main points the Elink team try to drive home about this cart is that it is cheap and affordable. Yet for only a slightly higher price you could buy an EZ-Flash III. Originally released three years ago it has double the storage space, can backup your original games, has a real-time clock and with a true U-Disk design it is feature packed with things like ROM compression, a brilliant save system and fast write times. Some aspects of the Elink may be simple to use and the price of the cart low enough that it might be attractive to a more casual audience, but from knowing how far GBA flash carts have come I simply cannot recommend the Elink. In my eyes the Elink is an unneeded cart on the market. But if anyone did want to bring people back to the GBA glory days I'd at least hope they'd bring with them the lessons and features of all the carts that lay before it. Pros: + Good build quality + Soft reset + Installation CD included Cons: - Archaic linker design - Linker doesn't like front mounted USB ports - Quirky and buggy software - Very dated save management system - No real-time clock - Can't delete games out of order (instead only replace them) - No advanced features like ROM compression - Cheats can't be disabled once selected - Windows only External Links: - Elink Website This review was written for GBAtemp.net ONLY.

text: Hello, my name is Brent. I am an opiate addict of about 7-8 years. About a month ago I decided to go on Methadone maintenance. I honestly feel the best i have felt in years. I wake up and go to work everyday. I am no longer involved in ANY illegal activites. My relationship with my family is the best it has ever been, and most importantly I don't have any desire to use at all. I do however have some questions about some of the side effects and rather than read about them I would like to ask some people first hand. Whatever insight anyone could give me (good or bad) would be greatly appreciated. My first question is...does anyone else have problems going to the bathroom? It is very hard to go for me (both ways). My counselor said not to worry about it, but I can't help but wonder if it is a bad thing. Anyone???

Oilers vs. Rangers – Preseason Game 7 – 2013-09-24 @ 7:00 PM MST – TSN
Really hard to find a recent pic of the Oilers and the Rangers so here are some of the Octane girls instead! Go to a game, buy a calendar for your nephew for Christmas, or at least use that lie. Support the team!
Oilers and Rangers face off tonight at Rexall place. Looks like the designated backups will play tonight as both Dubnyk and Lundqvist were in action last night. Oilers defeated the Jets 2-1 and the Rangers fell to the Flames 4-1.
Oilers had a lot of players getting a look last night so there will be a rotation of fresh legs brought in. They are also minus Linus. He's been placed on waivers for the purpose of re-assignment.
Last night Pitlick had an impressive game and Eakins is going to give him another look. He also is still enjoying Hall centering Hemsky and Smyth so that line will be kept together for now. Larsen has had a strong showing in camp registering 5 blocked shots last night as well as a goal and two helpers over 3 games played.
Sounds like Grebeshkov(groin) and Potter(back) are both out with no current timeline, so it's great to see that Larsen is doing well.

Interested in line two. Arco with good talent and not vs power. Smurf line to
Never mind. I see now you said these are not anywhere near official.
I think the most interesting thing to watch obviously will be who's going to secure those centre spots. Be interesting to see how some of them fare in the faceoff circle and if any can keep up with our top 6 wings.

text: Microsoft's Xbox One console while certainly no slouch in terms of hardware, did not exactly gain a lot of fans with the company's various policies which seemed to favor publishers and developers more, rather than the gamers themselves. Microsoft has since backtracked on their policies, but apparently may gamers still felt a level of resentment towards the company and during this year's EVO tournament and during the presentation of Killer Instinct, an Xbox One exclusive, which was shown alongside a new fight stick from MadCatz, the last thing we're sure the presenters expected was to be booed off the stage! This happened when Double Helix announced that the game would be released on the Xbox One and that they had a great partnership with Microsoft. They were naturally a bit shocked, but after collecting themselves the presentation continued. You can check it out in the video above, but what do you guys think? Did Microsoft's Xbox One deserved to be booed?

An adnexal cyst is fluid-filled tissue that is growing on a organ or connective tissues around a woman's uterus, according to Mayo Clinic and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. The growths are usually benign, but they can be cancerous. Diagnosis and treatment may require surgery.Continue Reading
Adnexal cysts and tumors typically appear in the fallopian tubes, ovaries and surrounding connective tissue, according to Mayo Clinic. Surgery is needed when a cyst is painful, infected or causing damage to other organs or if it interferes with the ability to become pregnant, notes the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Adnexal surgery can be a traditional open procedure or a minimally invasive laproscopy, which typically reduces pain and shortens the hospital stay. Open surgery requires a larger incision, which lengthens the recovery time.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases

The Census Bureau says the number of Americans in poverty remained about the same from 2010 to last year, while family income declined 1.5 percent.
About 46.2 million people, or nearly 1 in 6 of Americans, were in poverty in 2011.
The median -- or midpoint -- household income in 2011 was $50,054.
The figures were better than the expectations of analysts who had predicted an increase due to persistently high unemployment.
University of Michigan economist Sheldon Danziger calls the poverty figures surprising and a sign that expiring unemployment benefits were able to help workers for much of the year.

Community providers representing 10 New York state counties receive funding for physical and behavioral health care integration for older adults
In recognition of Geriatric Mental Health Awareness Week in New York, the Office of Mental Health has announced more than $4 million in grant money has been awarded to community-based programs that offer both physical and behavioral health care services to older adults in Albany, Erie, Franklin, Kings, Nassau, New York, Niagara, Onondaga, Queens and Washington counties.
By the year 2030, it is estimated nearly 20 percent of the U.S. population will be over the age of 65, with approximately 20 percent of this demographic experiencing significant mental illness. Currently, more than half of all older adults who receive mental health care receive these services from their primary care physician, a number that continues to grow. These grants aim to prepare New York's mental health care system for the expected influx of older adults in need of mental health services and provide multiple venues in which individuals can find high-quality mental health care.
"Across the United States, individuals with serious mental illness are dying 25 years earlier than the general public," said Acting OMH Commissioner Dr. Ann Marie Sullivan. "By integrating mental health services into primary care, and vice versa, New York is enabling our health care system to more quickly identify mental illnesses and intervene with appropriate treatment. Through early intervention, we will improve the health and functioning of older adults with mental illness, thus increasing the quality of life and improving overall health outcomes for a growing segment of our population."
In 2005, New York's Geriatric Mental Health Act called for OMH to establish a geriatric service demonstration program to provide grants to providers of mental health care for the elderly. To date, OMH has provided more than $12.5 million in funding for more than three-dozen programs.
"The aging baby boom population and their unique mental health needs is often called a 'silver tsunami,' and New York is one of the few places in the nation proactively building a boat strong enough to protect our seniors," said Linda Rosenberg, president and CEO of National Council for Behavioral Health. "We need to address seniors' whole health needs wherever they feel most comfortable - whether that's in their doctor's office or their therapist's. The National Council is proud to partner with New York to build an integrated health workforce and, as a New Yorker myself, I'm thrilled to see the momentum behind this initiative."
"With the implementation of the Geriatric Mental Health Act, which established the geriatric grants program, New York state is leading the nation in providing integrated care to the growing population of older adults with mental health needs, thus improving their health, functioning and overall quality of life," said Kimberly Williams, LMSW, director of the Geriatric Mental Health Alliance of New York.
The following providers are recipients of OMH's 2014-16 Geriatric Service Demonstration Program grants:
Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center - Niagara County: $500,000
Niagara Falls Memorial, in partnership with its department of psychiatry and The Dale Association, aims to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life for older adults by integrating physical and behavioral health care and senior services at one of the hospital's primary care settings, the Summit Family Care Center in Wheatfield. The services of a part-time senior advocate in the integrated practice are intended to address the psychosocial needs of older patients through linkages with housing, meal, caregiver and other services. To encourage its adoption, the project also aims to teach physicians in training, behavioral health care agencies, and other primary care providers in Niagara County about the value of integrated health care.
Erie County Medical Center Corp. - Erie County: $185,447
For a target population of older adults with serious mental illness in Buffalo and Erie County, Erie County Medical Center will partner with the State University of New York at Buffalo's School of Medicine and biomedical sciences department of internal medicine to address unmet needs for primary care services in two outpatient mental health clinic sites. Physical care is to be provided by a primary care physician and nurse. The project will utilize the chronic care model, the hallmark of which is collaborative care, and the evidence-based practice of illness/wellness management and recovery. A peer advocate will be available at each site to support self-management of chronic diseases and wellness goals.

Red-faced Hooters restaurant officials admitted in court documents that one of their Queens hostesses slurred a Korean-American couple by writing "chinx" on the pair's takeout tab.
Kisuk Cha and his girlfriend had filed a lawsuit against the eatery chain — known for its scantily clad waitresses — in Brooklyn federal court on Monday charging that when they dropped by the Fresh Meadows joint on July 1 to order takeout, the jaw-dropping racist slur was printed on their receipt.
The derogatory word to describe Chinese people was typed into the line for "Check ID." The server was listed as "220 Shenika."
But a lawyer for the Hooters franchisee said the server actually had no role in the slur.
"A 20-year-old hostess came forward and admitted she was the person who did this," said Edward McCabe, who was hired by the local franchisees to investigate the matter.
The hostess has resigned, he said.
"We believe this incident to be isolated and is in no way indicative of the brand as a whole," said Hooters general counsel Claudia Koeppel Levitas.
McCabe said the company went through three months of receipts looking for any other racists remarks and found none.
But Cha's lawyer, Daniel Baek, insisted the problem is more widespread than the chain is letting on.
"This is not an isolated incident," Baek said. "There are a rash of cases across the country where customers were identified on their credit card and store . . . receipts by racial slurs.
"Unfortunately, customers of color must be vigilant to double check their receipts to see what's being said about them,'' he said.
"The law is very clear — you can hate Asians all you want, but the moment one walks into your place of business he is entitled to equal protection. And despite what Hooters may think, the business is responsible for the actions of their employees."
The slur used against Cha is tantamount to "the 'N word' for Asians," his lawyer said.
Hooters, the franchise owners, "220 Shenika" and a "Jane Doe" — "who conspired with '220 Shenika' to violate plaintiff's civil rights" — were all named as defendants in the suit.
According to the complaint, Cha walked into the restaurant to get a simple order of Buffalo shrimp and wings to go — and wound up nauseated.
"He wanted to confront his server but was paralyzed with anguish. He could not eat the food he had just bought as his stomach was churning, and he could not be sure that someone had not spit in his food," the complaint said.
This Hooters incident has a bad smell similar to an episode at a Papa John's in Harlem earlier this year, when a Korean-American customer was identified as "lady chinky eyes" on a receipt by the pizza makers.Additional reporting by David K. Li

The Federal Student Financial Assistance (SFA) programs are administered by the Office of Postsecondary Education within the U.S. Department of Education. These programs provide funds to help borrowers meet postsecondary education costs. Often referred to as "Title IV programs" because the authorizing legislation is written in Title IV of the Higher Education Act, SFA programs include loans, grants, and work-study programs. SFA programs include Federal Pell Grants, Federal Perkins Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), the College Work-Study Program, the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, and the William D. Ford Federal Direct Student Loan Program (FDLP).
The Data Book focuses on two of the SFA programs, the FFEL program and the FDLP. These two programs are of particular interest because they are structured as "entitlement" programs. Under the FFEL program, the entitlements accrue to lenders and guaranty agencies, while under the FDLP, entitlements accrue to individual borrowers. This special status as an "entitlement" program explains some of the spectacular growth of the FFEL program and the FDLP.
While the FFEL program began in FY66 and the FDLP began in FY94, both programs have grown rapidly. The quantitative data that have been assembled in the Data Book reflect this growth and are of interest to state officials, Congress, Federal officials, postsecondary educational institutions, guaranty agencies, lenders, parents, students, researchers, and policymakers.
The FFEL program was known formerly as the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) program. The GSL program, originally authorized in the Higher Education Act of 1965, empowered state and private non-profit agencies to guarantee student loans and to establish loan insurance for lenders who did not have access to state or private non-profit agencies. The GSL program, renamed the FFEL program in the Higher Education Amendments of 1992, has experienced enormous growth since FY86.
The Federal Direct Loan Demonstration Program was first authorized by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 as a pilot program. This program, which eventually became the FDLP, was designed to improve the delivery of loans to postsecondary students in need of financial assistance. The FDLP, authorized by the Student Loan Reform Act of 1993 as part of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993, has grown rapidly in the short time it has been operational.
In order to understand the data presented in this publication, it is important to know that the FFEL program and the FDLP comprise the same loan programs: the Federal Stafford Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) and Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students (PLUS) loans. The Stafford Subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of the borrower's financial need while the Stafford Unsubsidized loan is not based on need. The PLUS loan is designed for parents who take out loans on behalf of dependent students. In addition, both the FFEL program and FDLP offer Consolidation loans. It is important to note that the Supplemental Loan to Students (SLS) program, established in 1981 under the FFEL program, was replaced by the FFEL Stafford Unsubsidized loan program in FY94. Thus, the SLS program, while previously a component of the FFEL program, has never been a component of the FDLP.
Although the FFEL program and the FDLP share similar program components, each disburses funds differently. FFEL program loans are made through private lenders while FDLP loans are disbursed directly from the U.S. government to postsecondary institutions. Eligible postsecondary institutions may choose to provide borrowers access to federally supported loans through the FFEL program or the FDLP, but not both.
Recent legislative activities have had a tremendous impact on both loan programs. The Higher Education Amendments of 1992 changed the FFEL program components by setting new loan limits, replacing fixed interest rates on Stafford loans with variable rates, and requiring origination fees for PLUS and SLS loans. Another example of legislation that has shaped and developed both programs is the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. This act 1) established the current FDLP, setting target goals for phase-in over a 5-year period and provided cost reduction measures to the FFEL program, and 2) set maximum rates for various FFEL program fees, rates, and reimbursements. Interested readers are encouraged to reference the legislative history section in appendix II of this book for additional information.
Data Organization
The data assembled for this edition of the Data Book are from various sources. The primary source is the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education, National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), a live database of loan volume records. Other data have been assembled from data collected through the ED form 1189, ED form 1130, ED Form 799, Direct Loan/Loan Origination System, U.S. Department of Treasury, Sallie Mae Annual Report, and Guarantor and Lender Oversight Service (GLOS) Records.
It is important to note that data for the FDLP are limited to 3 fiscal years (FY94–FY96). All other loan programs are clearly marked to indicate the time period in which the program was operational. Where data is not available, a notation appears in the footnote.
Loan volume commitments (dollars and loans) represent commitments by guaranty agencies for the FFEL program. For the FDLP, loan volume commitments (dollars and loans) are listed by state. The publication presents FFEL program and FDLP data by program component (loan program) and as a FFEL program total or FDLP total. Electronic copies of the data presented in these tables will be available through the Web site at http:// www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/PPI. The paper version is available by calling 1-800-4FED-AID (1-800-433-3243).
The Office of Policy, Planning and Innovation publishes data on other Title IV programs. Information on the Pell Grant Program can be found in the Title IV Federal Pell Grant Program End of the Year Report and information on the campus-based programs (Perkins Loans, College Work Study and the SEOG program) can be found in the Federal Campus Based Programs Data Book 1997.
Between FY94–FY96, there was a large increase in borrowing through the combined FFEL program and the FDLP, the two SFA programs that are the focus of this Data Book. As illustrated in the graph below, increases in the FDLP loan volume during FY95 and FY96 resulted in decreases in the FFEL program loan volume.
The impact of the FDLP upon the FFEL program volume was greatest in FY95 and FY96. The FDLP, which began in FY94, had minimal impact on the FFEL program volume in FY94. In this year, there were several restrictions placed on the FDLP. The overall decrease in the FFEL program volume and subsequent increase in FDLP volume is shown in the summary tables presented throughout this book.
In summary, the total combined dollar volume commitments from both the FFEL program and the FDLP were approximately $24.0 billion in FY94, a 25.5 percent increase from FY93. The combined commitments increased again in FY95 to $26.1 billion, an increase of 8.7 percent. Finally, the combined dollar volume commitments increased to $29.1 billion in FY96, a 10.5 percent increase from FY95. The combined loan commitments also increased, rising from 7.0 to 8.0 million in FY94–FY96. The number of FFEL program and FDLP loans increased 18.7, 2.9, and 10.0 percent in FY94–FY96, respectively.
Data Book Organization
The Loan Programs Data Book is organized to facilitate readers who want summary information and/or detailed program information. The core of the volume consists of 60 tables, text summarizing the highlights of the data in each table, and graphs or charts, as required to assist readers. This edition also contains a legislative history of the FFEL program and a glossary of nearly 100 terms.
The 60 tables and companion text are organized into four sections:
- FFEL Program and FDLP Summary Information (Tables 1-3)
- FFEL Program and FDLP Loan Volume Commitments (Tables 4-35)
- FFEL Program Dollars Outstanding and Guaranty Agency Characteristics (Tables 36-42)
- FFEL Program and FDLP Defaults and Collections (Tables 43-60)
The information contained in each table is arranged in the following sequence:
- Text summarizing data highlights
- Table of data
- Graphs (as required)
When data are available for FFEL programs in existence prior to FY86, the entire data set is presented in a corresponding table that appears in appendix I. Since some FFEL programs began more than 30 years ago, this cumulative data serves as a historical accounting of FFEL program activity.

Next Sunday, Mark Erwin will run along the Erie Canal trail in DeWitt, hoisting the American flag that accompanied him to Iraq and Afghanistan. Meanwhile, his brother Mike Erwin will be nearing the end of his 55-mile jog, from the campus of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to a park overlooking ground zero in Manhattan.
"It will be interesting to see how our bodies hold up," Mike Erwin said.
Bet on shin splints and smiles. The Erwins, Syracuse natives and West Point graduates who have served multiple war deployments, will commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 by running for Team Red White and Blue, a charity they founded to help wounded veterans restart their lives.
The organization will host several "moving tributes" nationwide, seeking to raise public awareness about the issues faced by wounded veterans. But unlike most charity runs, which are designed to raise money, these marathoners prefer flags to checkbooks.
"We're trying to get people to go beyond writing a check to support wounded veterans," said Mike Erwin, an instructor at the West Point military academy. "We'd rather have people sign up and get involved, and then break down barriers."
Mike Erwin formed Team RWB in 2010, after several years of running and organizing raised about $60,000 for other veterans' charities. While a graduate student in Ann Arbor, Mich., Erwin began probing the veterans system for areas where funds could best be applied.
"I wanted a better understanding of the challenges wounded veterans face," Mike Erwin said. "I didn't want to just raise money and think, 'OK, I've done my part.'"
He saw many wounded veterans in need of simple ways to connect with the vast numbers of people who want to help them. He found athletes on both sides of the equation, and he vowed to set up events for them to network.
"We came upon the idea of an organization that would pay for the kinds of activities that allow friendships to form," Mike Erwin said.
Thus was born Team RWB, which seeks to create one-on-one relationships, often born via athletic events. Small programs have been established in Washington, Houston and Ann Arbor. About 125 volunteer advocates are working with 25 wounded veterans.
"Right now, we are deliberately trying NOT to be a big organization," Mike Erwin said. "We're still learning... We're deliberately controlling the size of our organization to stay very small. The goal is to, five years from now, have a chapter in every state."
The group's profile has been raised by public runs, walks or bike events. It has no paid staff. Mike Erwin said the organization has raised about $400,000, an amount he called "remarkable," and which carries responsibility to be spent carefully.
"We have a lot of money sitting in our account, and in line with our deliberate approach, we want to make sure we use it wisely," he said.
This fall, his brother Mark will be seek to launch a Central New York chapter.
"We're in the very early processes," said Mark Erwin, a research fellow at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.
Sunday's local run will take place prior to the 9 a.m. observance, near the town of DeWitt's 9/11 memorial, at 5400 Butternut Drive. Volunteers will gather at about 7:30 a.m. and soon after start running or walking the Erie Canal trail near Ryder Recreation and Nature Area. Some will carry flags, others will wear distinctive T-shirts. They'll return in time for the DeWitt event.
Downstate, Mike Erwin and a handful of marathoners plan to leave the West Point campus about 8 p.m. Saturday. They'll run all night — 55 miles south to Liberty State Park, across from the Ground Zero site in Lower Manhattan. There, they'll meet with others, who will run and walk the park until sunset — a total of 22 hours — carrying flags and the message.
"I've never run anything that distance, that long," Mike Erwin said.
Then again, the real marathon is just beginning.
What: Team Red White and Blue "Moving Tribute."
When: 7:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 11; group run begins at about 7:45 a.m.
Where: Town of DeWitt Hall, near 9/11 memorial, 5400 Butternut Drive.
Duration: About an hour, back in time for 9 a.m. public observance at town hall.
Online: teamrwb.org.

The 5 Worst-Looking New Shows of the Fall Season
Hello, 'Work It'!
Of the 40-plus new series coming this fall, we've already shown you the good. Now it's time for the ... not so good. Admittedly, judging a new show by its trailer is something akin to judging a book by its cover, but, well, if the cover was emblazoned with lame one-liners and horrible digs at women, and was tricked out with a grating laugh track, you could be reasonably sure you wouldn't like what was inside. So here are the five shows of the upcoming season that made us sit up and say, "You needed a hit show, and you picked up this?!" May they prove us wrong — but we're sadly pretty sure that they won't.

For six years of my life, I've fed my babies from my own body, and now my last baby is a busy toddler, and she isn't interested, I'm nearly finished with this part of my life. I can feel it, like the shift in weather I sense in the collar-bone I broke when I was six years old, yes.
So I want to remember, for the real rest-work, and for the metaphors of struggle and let-down and release and feeding, and for the weight of responsibility, the lightness of giving, and for the ordinary, every day, pausing holy-wonder. I want to remember that I was here, over and over again, and I was profoundly changed.
Here I am: 27 years old, blackened and bruised eyes from the exertion of a posterior delivery of a nearly 9lb baby girl, and she is curled up on me, fresh-baby-vernix-skin-to-stretched-out-mama-skin, and she's nursing and I'm born again with the release of birth and the knowledge that this is one thing I can give and do for her, and a longing for the lost babies I won't hold until heaven.
Here I am: 29 years old, sprawled in the backseat of our old Trailblazer, holding another nearly-9lbs baby, in front of a crowd of strangers, and without thought, I'm trying to wrestle my shirt off through my laughter, I just want to get that baby to latch onto me, I miss him inside, I'm empty, already, but I have something to give him, it's nothing but raw instinct. The ambulance workers make me wait until we're in triage at the hospital. That night, I sit awake, all night, and I nurse him, longing to take him home, to be quiet together. I hold the perfect dome of his soft unstitched head in the palm of my hand, and cry with relief.
Here I am: thirty-two, nestled into my own bed, freshly washed with damp hair, and a nearly 10-lb brand new baby girl beside me, her hungry mouth on me, and I look up to see my husband, wonder in his eyes, beside and around us like a parenthesis, and he says softly that this is the favourite sight of his life, always, ever, these moments.
Here I am: crying with pain and longing, bleeding, googling correct latch videos at 3:12 in the morning.
Here I am: arranging blankets in the church pew for discrete purposes only to have chubby arms yank blankets off and suck with noisy bluster and longing, until everyone in the radius is grinning.
Here we are: on the pier by the ocean, in the coffee shop, in the mall. Here we are: at the market, at the church, in our family bed. Here I am: nursing one baby, while a toddler boy sits beside me patting her hair gently, and a kindergarten girl sits on the other side, cradling baby feet, and the baby keeps popping off to grin her gummy smile at them both.
Here we are: in the middle of the night, first thing in the morning, noontime, all times, sleeping, awake.
Here I am: snapping open nursing bras, tucking in bamboo cloths, applying Lansinoh, praying for grace, avoiding dairy.
Here I am: being changed, transformed, worshipping God in the sacred everyday gift of this radical act of giving.
Here I am: in the early days, falling asleep and snapping awake, crying when the milk lets down, drinking water, balancing on the nursing pillows, staining shirts, burning with a fever from mastitis a time or two.
Here we are: together, always together. Here we are: connected, carrying the same blood and milk and bones.
Here I am: with a real breathing metaphor of contentment and peace, with a milk-drunk, blissed-out, flour-sack of a baby, thick with goodness, and something breaks through the veil between earth and heaven, I understand down in my marrow and now I can't think of God as anything other than Abba.
Here I am: stronger, bolder, fearless, empowered, soul-quieted, a giver, nourished by nourishing, a mama.
And here I am now: nursing a squirming and disinterested toddler, every once in a while, and knowing that one of these times, it will be her last time, and it will be my last time to lay skin to skin, tummy to tummy, with my own babies, breastfeeding, and that time is coming soon.

Lagoon (SNES) review
"And my goodness, how Lagoon PLAYS. The 'sword' that you wield is little more than a potato peeler. Its range is excruciatingly limited, and that coupled with inane collision detection makes for horrible battles. The fact that EXCESSIVE level building is necessary to advance pass the difficult bosses, simply exacerbates an already frustrating fighting experience."

text: Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School is proud to announce our Teacher of the Year for the 2017-2018 school year. Mrs. Taquila Johnson-Collins was born on October 25th and raised in Warrenton, Georgia. Mrs. Johnson-Collins is married to Marcus Collins. She is a product o f the Warren County Public School System where she graduated in 1999. She then decided to obtain her undergraduate degree from Georgia State University where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Journalism in 2003. After years of graduating, she began working with Clayton County Public Schools as a kindergarten paraprofessional. This is when she decided, along with the support of her husband, to pursue her graduate degree at University of Phoenix. Mrs. Johnson-Collins obtained her Master's Degree in Elementary Education in 2012. During this same year, she became a certified teacher. All of her hard work and determination prove just how she was committed to growing and excelling in the education field. She has taught at Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary for five years and currently teaches fourth grade. Mrs. Johnson-Collins' educational philosophy centers on the belief that all students can learn and have the right to high quality education. She has learned that teaching is a lifestyle that extends well beyond the contracted hours and meeting students where they are, and not dwell on where they should be. Currently she is working on her reading endorsement to better meet the needs of her students. We congratulate Mrs. Johnson-Collins on this prestigious achievement and are ecstatic that she will be representing MLK as our Teacher of the Year!

Why the Carolina Panthers Should Take a Long Look at Justin BlackmonNovember 23, 2011
A good case could be made that the Carolina Panthers are a whole lot better than 2-8 record indicates. But that doesn't change the fact that a playoff bid has been out of the picture for a few weeks now.
Though six games remain this season, it's really not too early to start thinking about who to take in the NFL Draft in April. Positions of need abound on defense, but I think Carolina should take Oklahoma State's wide receiver Justin Blackmon if he's available.
While the Panthers certainly don't look like one of the league's worst teams, they have the second-worst record in the league, and they still have three games left against stiff opposition in the Saints, Falcons and Texans.
Blackmon won't be on the board long, but it's not out of the question that he'd be there at the end of the Top Five, where Carolina might very well be drafting.
With a top-five offense led by Steve Smith, wide receiver certainly isn't the position where Carolina needs the most help. But if any area of this offense has struggled, it's been its red-zone performance, especially through the air.
Carolina has been below average at finishing drives, and part of the difficulties can be attributed to the Panthers' lack of a big, strong receiver to jump up and snatch fade routes or make tough catches in traffic. A big receiver like Blackmon would address that need perfectly.
Oklahoma State's star redshirt junior would be the perfect complement to Smith in the short term. Though Smith is as tenacious as anyone, at 5'9", he's not the ideal target over the middle.
Blackmon is the big, physical pass catcher the Panthers have lacked opposite Smith since Muhsin Muhammad retired after the 2009 season. Blackmon could complement him in the short term and be entering his prime in four or five years at the latest, when Smith will likely be calling it a career.
At 6'1", 212 pounds, Blackmon might be the best receiver prospect the league has seen since Calvin Johnson played for Georgia Tech. Before this season even started, Blackmon had established himself as a dominant college player. No non-quarterback had been named Big 12 player of the year in 12 years before Blackmon won the award with 111 catches, 1,782 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2010.
And last season was no one-hit wonder, either. With as many as three games potentially remaining on the Cowboys' schedule, playing in arguably the nation's deepest conference, Blackmon already has 103 catches for 1,241 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Many will scoff at this suggestion based on the success Carolina is already having through the air, but at least one recent example has shown that sometimes there's nothing wrong with taking a top-flight receiver, even if it's not the most pressing need.
In 2007, the Detroit Lions, coming off a 2006 season in which they finished 3-13 but boasted the league's 7th-best passing attack, were ridiculed by many for drafting Calvin "Megatron" Johnson. Picking Johnson seemed even more foolish at the time, considering Detroit had used first-round picks on wide receivers in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
But with Megatron terrorizing opposing defenses week in and week out, nobody in their right mind is questioning that pick now. The takeaway from the Lions' selection of Johnson is that you don't pass on a standout receiver prospect just because you can already air it out.

Cranston - We'll Redesign Your Storage Sheds Shed This Month References
Cranston, city, Providence county, central Rhode Island, U.S. It lies on the western shore of Narragansett Bay and adjoins Providence city. The first settlement was made on the Pawtuxet River in 1638 by William Arnold, an ancestor of Benedict Arnold and a compatriot of Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island colony. Separated from Providence in 1754, it became a town and was named for Samuel Cranston, governor of Rhode Island (1698 - 1727). Its early growth depended on the textile industry. It was incorporated as a city in 1910. Although primarily a residential suburb, Cranston has industrial plants that produce machinery, jewelry, food products, and metals. Truck and dairy farms and nurseries are in the area. The city is the seat of the state's adult and juvenile correctional institutions. The Joy Homestead (c. 1778) and the Sprague Mansion (1790) are historic landmarks. Pop. (2000) 79, 269; (2010) 80, 387.

10 Considerations When Buying Outdoor Storage Sheds
Outdoor Storage Sheds: Functionality, Appearance
Are you looking to buy a new outdoor storage shed? There are a number of factors to consider before making your purchase including size, price, materials used and design. Use this list to help narrow down your options to help find the right option for your specific situation.
1. Price vs. Quality in Outdoor Storage Sheds
Don't let the price of outdoor storage sheds be the determining factor for you.
Some shoppers, once drawn to the cheapest price, immediately thereafter put blinders on and ignore alternatives. Of the outdoor storage sheds I priced recently, those sided with cedar and vinyl (the highest quality sidings) were only a few hundred dollars more than outbuildings sided with lower-quality materials. Consider how much those few hundred dollars are buying before rejecting the cedar or vinyl.
2. Design of Outdoor Storage Sheds and House Design
Remember that outdoor storage sheds are not merely utilitarian items. In addition to their utility, the appearance of outdoor storage sheds affects the overall appearance of the property on which they are installed. As such, the unit you choose should be of a design that complements your home. Select one with a rustic design (for instance, board and batten) for a country-style house. If your house's style is more formal, select an outdoor storage shed with formal features to match (for instance, if your house has an arched window, carry the theme over to your outbuilding).
3. Outdoor Storage Sheds as Part of the Landscape
Integrate your outbuilding into the surrounding landscape. Plants can help outdoor storage sheds blend into a landscape, rather than sticking out like sore thumbs. Open up and plant annual or perennial beds around your unit. You can also install trellises up against the walls of outdoor storage sheds and adorn the walls with vines.
4. Comparison of Siding Materials for Storage Units
Natural wood is considered by many the most attractive siding for storage units. But wood exposed over time to water usually rots. Some woods, however, contain natural resins that make them relatively rot-resistant. Cedar is such a wood and very popular as a siding choice for storage units. But even cedar siding is not maintenance-free. Coat cedar with a UV-inhibiting sealer/preservative every other year to protect it from ultraviolet solar radiation.
Apply a clear stain, as well, to help preserve its natural beauty.
For maintenance-free storage units, vinyl is the preferred siding. Vinyl lacks the visual appeal of wood, but if you own a house with vinyl siding, a strong argument can be made for selecting a storage unit that is also sided with vinyl.
Due to their susceptibility to rust, steel storage units should probably be avoided. Among metal storage units, rust-free aluminum is usually the most sensible choice in siding. Metal siding is hardly the most visually appealing choice.
Particle board and plywood are composed of pieces of wood products that have been pressed and glued together. Although they are popular siding materials for storage units, they wouldn't be my first choice for regions where it rains a lot. For if water does work its way into these products (a possibility enhanced by their composite nature), then you're lost.
5. Before Installing Storage Units: Building Codes and the Like
Become acquainted with zoning ordinances, deed restrictions and building codes. Depending on your area, you may need a building permit. Building codes et al. may determine how far storage units must set back from property lines and what materials are acceptable for siding.
6. Site Preparation for Storage Units
Before installing storage units, lay down cinder blocks, concrete piers, a concrete slab or at least crushed stone. But don't stop there. Make sure the supports underlying the floor are made of pressure-treated wood.
7. Do-It-Yourself Outdoor Storage Buildings vs. Professional Installation
If you'd prefer all the work be done for you in installing outdoor storage buildings, then just select a shed from your local home improvement store and ask that it be delivered and assembled by the pros. But those who are handy may wish to save some money and order an outdoor storage building kit that comes with assembly instructions.
8. Will Your Outdoor Storage Building Be Big Enough?
Make sure the entry to the outdoor storage building is wide enough to accommodate your largest piece of equipment with room to spare. Many outdoor storage buildings that are at least 8' x 10' come with double doors, which usually eliminates this concern.
9. Accessories for Outdoor Storage Buildings
The small touches make such a difference! Some outdoor storage buildings come with French doors or cupolas. You yourself can add touches such as window boxes, shutters or weathervanes. Remember, you'll have to look at this outdoor storage building every day of your life for the foreseeable future: your attention to detail could make the difference between eyesore and eye-opener. On a more practical note, purchase or build a pressure-treated ramp for easy access to your outdoor storage building.
10. When One Outdoor Storage Building Isn't Enough
If the clutter on your property says one outdoor storage building isn't enough, but your wallet disagrees, supplement your main unit with one of the less expensive, smaller models.
There are three main types of such units, all of which go by descriptive names. 'Corner sheds' are made to fit precisely into a corner and run about 3' tall by 3' wide by 2' deep. Meanwhile, either a 'vertical shed' (5' x 3' x 4') or a 'horizontal shed' (3' x 5' x 4') may be just the handy outdoor storage building to fill your need for additional space.
Buying an outdoor storage building with a loft greatly increasing storage capability, allowing you to store rarely used supplies overhead.
For the exterior, build your own lean-to and attach it to the outdoor storage building to form a sheltered area for firewood.
Outdoor benches are sometimes made to be dual-purpose, offering a compartment to store tools and a cozy spot for taking breathers while mowing the lawn.
Potting sheds and small greenhouses are a boon to the true landscaping enthusiast. Some outdoor storage buildings come with large skylights and virtually function as greenhouses in their own right.
