We lost a beloved member of the Asheville craft community in October 2017. Margrit (Gita) Binkley was a native of Switzerland, lived in north Asheville, and worked at Grovewood Gallery for approximately 30 years. She loved art and handmade and you could easily see that reflected in her home. Cooking, gardening, quilting and supporting her neighbors and friends kept Gita going after her move to Asheville. She had four children of her own, and many grandchildren, but she adopted her Grovewood family and took care of all of us as well.
Gita could not be idle, she was a salesperson at the gallery (until she was well up in her 80's), but she also did the 'not so fun' job of packing and shipping to customers; she prepared gift boxes by unfolding the flat boxes, building them, and neatly and precisely folding the tissue to fit inside (every time she made it perfect!) then she stacked them by the work table in the back room for staff to have easily available. She would not hesitate to tell us when the office was getting too cluttered. And, she kept a close eye on any children who might occasionally misbehave on the gallery sales-floor. Her eagle eye kept any mischief from taking place :)
Gita kept a constant flow of home cooked treats coming in the door for her fellow staffers. She sort-of cycled through her favorites of the moment, including: chocolate chip banana bread; rotisserie chicken, brie and French bread from the nearby Fresh Market grocery; homemade rhubarb pie; double chocolate chip cookies…from a recipe she got from Good Morning America; then there was the time she was stuck on making vichyssoise – it was not our favorite (but we ate it because we hated to disappoint Gita, and knew she worked hard cooking for us. I think some staff sneaked to the bathroom and poured it out!) If you were sick, she brought or sent homemade chicken noodle soup. Then there was her special childhood Swiss cookies she made and brought in around Christmas time (they were little bricks). If you received an invitation to her home, you likely enjoyed shrimp and grits or even steak from her outdoor grill.
My oldest son, Ian, was the first 'Grovewood baby' and he received a special handmade baby quilt by Gita. She loved to quilt, she didn't use a sewing machine – all of the piecing and quilting was done by hand. Gita made lots of quilts. I think certainly all of her grandchildren got a quilt. She occasionally made one to sell in the gallery.
In her 'spare time' (ha) Gita was an excellent gardener. She was proud of her lovely flower garden and often brought cut flowers in to the gallery to brighten a vase or ikebana arrangement on the sales counter.
Gita worked for The Homespun Shop of Biltmore Industries before the shop was renovated and renamed Grovewood; she stayed on through many transitions and growth periods. She and I worked together on Sundays in the early days of Grovewood Gallery. She "told me" I should make two needlepoint designs for her chairs that needed new seats – I did. She suggested I plant climbing hydrangeas at my and Marks' new home, which had a shady retaining wall area – we did. I still have many recipes she gave me. I wish I had more photos of her.
On one occasion Mark and I planned a trip to Europe and Gita went out of her way to list places and sites we should go see – and to tell us memories from her youth when she traveled to different countries. She was an amazing woman. She inspires me still. Thank you, Gita Binkley, for being such a giving person.

Malaysia, truly asia. I grew up hearing this slogan almost everyday on the television but never really got a chance to visit even if the country is near to my home country which is the Philippines so last January me and Ralph were truly grateful that we had a chance to visit Malaysia in the middle of our Singapore trip. We actually just planned to stay in KL for 2 nights but we ended up staying for 4 nights! We seriously fell in love in Malaysia – and we're planning to go back again soon!
Day 1
We left Singapore around 830am and it was just a 30minute plane ride going to Kuala Lumpur. How fast was that? Upon reaching the airport, we immediately went to the money changer (Malaysia's currency is Ringgit) and ate breakfast. They have almost the same cuisines to Singapore so as usual, we ate Nasi Lemak again. Then we took the train from the airport to be able to transfer to the main train system of KL. Can I say that the train system of Malaysia is too complicated and confusing so better use Uber.
We went straight to our Airbnb at the Regalia Apartment near Putra Shopping Mall. It was very easy to locate and super close to the train station (was cozy too and they have a really cool infinity pool overlooking KL, they have the best view of Kuala Lumpur Skyline). We just relaxed on Day 1 – meaning slept the whole day and just went shopping. We were basically too lazy to do anything else.
We really liked Secret Recipe by the way even though most of their staff don't smile much. It's a restaurant that is famous in Malaysia. Their Chicken Satay was really good.
Day 2
Since we've already got some good sleep and had freshened up, we've decided that we're gonna randomly visit some tourist spots. First is Batu Caves. It is one of the main tourist attractions in Malaysia. It's pretty convenient to go here as well via train. The Batu Caves are also home to chickens, bats, and plenty of monkeys. We didn't enter the main cave where there is a long staircase. Just the cave near the entrance. We really didn't stay long here since it was pretty humid when we went and we felt that we've basically seen everything we needed to see. 1 and a half hour is good enough to appreciate the hindu shrines and take photos. Although our visit was quick, we were truly mesmerised with all the statues and the intricate details painted on them.
Next Up: The Petronas Towers
Who wouldn't know these twin towers? They were actually the tallest building in the world from 1998 until 2004 before the Burj Khalifa in Dubai took over but still they remain the tallest 'twin' towers in the world. It was truly amazing and romantic to look at. I don't think I will ever get tired of staring at it. Me and Ralph took so many photos of it.
After checking out the Petronas Towers, we got hungry. For dinner, after reading on tripadvisor, we found the busy streets of JALAN ALOR. It is the largest food street in Kuala Lumpur. I mean literally you can find all kinds of street food here! They are also open until midnight. Grilled frogs anyone?Mangosteen! yummmmDimsumsChicken feet
Their food was good! Unfortunately I had diarrhea the morning after haha! I have no regrets though.
Day 3
I had to buy Yakult for my digestion since my stomach acted up after eating all the street food form Jalan Alor last night. Anyhow, I was pretty excited for our third day in Malaysia.
Ralph got a chance to do graffiti since Street Art here is pretty big and they really really have the best artists. We noticed most of the streets in Malaysia were full of vibrant murals or street art. Malaysia's art scene is just booming.After checking out some good graffiti spots around Kuala Lumpur we went back to Jalan Alor for dinner. As usual, we googled where the best place for dinner is before headin out and found this restaurant called EL CERDO. I know the name's not very local but since we're craving for pork we wanted to give it a try. When we went inside, the place was pretty busy but all their staff were very welcoming and helpful.Their service was superb but unfortunately, these baby back ribs were super disappointing. As pork ribs connoisseurs (or so we say to ourselves), this is a 2 out of 10. It was quite expensive and so not worth it. I've heard they have the best suckling pig, I wish we've ordered that instead.It was really raining so hard that night and I don't know what's on our mind that time that even if it's raining, we've decided to walk from Jalan Alor which will take us roughly 30 minutes to reach our airbnb. We were soaking wet while walking but when we were about to reach our airbnb, we've spotted this cute black house along the street which seems like a cafe but we weren't quite sure since they didnt have any signage outside so we decided to check it out. We found out that it is a cafe and a really cool one. We were still so full from our dinner and soaking wet so we couldn't stay (even if we badly wanted to because the place is so cozy) but since we were already there we bought a dessert and from their takeaway bag we learned that the cafe is called VCR. The lemon cake that we bought was really good. Perfect with tea while listening to the sound of the rain while staring at the KL skyline. It was actually one of the best and most relaxed night I've had in years.
Day 4
For our last day in Kuala Lumpur, we've decided that we're going to check VCR again and this time we're gonna stay longer. So we woke up early for breakfast and quickly went to that cafe.
VCR is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur – Jalan Galloway. What i like about it is it's not located on the busy streets of the city but instead it's conveniently located in a quiet neighbourhood of Pudu. I love how rustic this cafe is. You can read more about our VCR experience here.
After breakfast, off we go to Chinatown. It's actually almost the same as Singapore's chinatown (although Singapore's chinatown is cleaner and much more organised). You will also find all sorts of things here. They also have their own Sri Marriamman Temple. We quickly stopped over in this cafe called ETC for a quick coffee fix. They really have nice coffee.15 minutes walk from Chinatown thanks to our travel guide Google Maps, we've reached the Central Market. This is the best place to buy souvenirs in Malaysia.Somewhere along the ground floor we found this portraitists and street artists expressing their talents and giving a dose of old-time character along the long-obscured riverfront.We also found more cool street arts along chinatown.
I think I've lost 10 pounds during our stay in Malaysia because of the non stop walking for more than 8 hours. I keep on checking my fitness app and I think it was worth sharing that I made a 4 day streak of 20,000+ steps a day which is such an achievement for a person who doesn't exercise. haha! But seriously, there is a lot to love about Kuala Lumpur. One of those is the fact that although it has its fair share of luxurious spots, it does not try to conceal its past and their culture. It's not pretentious. Before visiting, people would tell us you won't need 4 days to spend in Malaysia. 1 day is enough but I guess they haven't seen what we've seen and experienced what we've experience. There's just to much to do here and visit but to be honest we just enjoyed wandering around and going to random places. I can't wait to visit other places in Malaysia aside from Kuala Lumpur.

GBTA: U.S. Business Travel Industry Spent $72.8 Billion Last Quarter
This morning, the Global Business Travel Association Foundation issued its quarterly report on U.S. business travel, finding that US-originated business travel spending increased more than 7 percent year-over-year to $72.8 billion in the second quarter of 2014.
This rise in spending comes despite a slight year-over-year reduction of -0.1 percent in the total number of trips taken in the second quarter. Likewise, during the 2014 calendar year, group business trips – travel to business meetings or conferences – are expected to dip 3.3 percent, while spending on group business travel is expected to increase by 5.9 percent. Together, these findings underscore the fact that businesses are spending more per trip, indicating a strengthening economy.
In total, U.S.-generated business travel spending is expected to increase by 6.8 percent to $292.3 billion in 2014, according to the GBTA BTI Outlook – United States 2014 Q3.
"The continued strong demand in business travel spending is a positive sign for our economy – this signals that companies are continuing to put travelers on the road to achieve their business objectives," Michael W. McCormick, GBTA executive director and COO, said in a statement. "As always, business travel spending is a leading indicator of overall economic growth."
The report's key findings include:
- While individual business travel volume is only expected to grow 2.3 percent in 2014 – in line with GBTA's 2Q 2014 forecast – spending is expected to increase 7 percent year-over-year, driven by higher travel prices and additional spend-per-trip.
- Similar to individual business travel, group travel spending is expected to disproportionately increase over volume, increasing 5.9 percent year-over-year in spend while simultaneously declining 3.3 percent in volume. Evolving meeting technology and other substitutes is one possibility to explain the loss of volume.
- Travel costs are expected to increase 2.9 percent this year and an additional 3.5 percent in 2015, led by rising food and beverage costs, hotel prices and airfares. These expectations have been raised from the previous quarter, mainly due to increasingly higher food and beverage costs and airfare.
In addition, the study identified other key trends that could impact business travel in the coming months, including household and business sentiment, international outbound business travel and inflation concerns.
Households and Businesses' Increased Positive Sentiment Lead to Increased Spending
Households and businesses are feeling optimistic about the near-term future and their spending behavior will begin to reflect that sentiment. Consequently, businesses are poised to step up their investment in equipment, information technology, and structures. This activity will be accompanied by gains in business travel spending.
International Outbound Business Travel Increases, Slowed by Global Factors
International outbound business travel, a key indicator of the global economic recovery, is expected to grow in volume by 5.6 percent in 2014, followed by another 6.5 percent in 2015. This comes after a minor 1.1 percent increase in 2013. Key factors that prevent international outbound business travel from rising at a faster pace include the struggling European recovery, a moderating Chinese economy and economic challenges in many emerging markets in Latin America.
Rising Inflation Concerns Speculative…For Now
With unemployment falling and the GDP accelerating – reaching 4.6 percent in 2Q 2014 – attention has shifted to the risk of rising inflation with some analysts drawing similarities to the 1970s. Currently, there is no evidence of rapidly rising consumer prices, runaway borrowing or dangerous asset bubbles. While this could change at any time, underlying evidence suggests continued moderation for now.
GBTA BTI Progresses Upward
The GBTA BTI, a proprietary index of business travel activity, is estimated to reach 136 in Q3 2014, bolstered by a strengthening domestic economy, an improving external environment and slightly higher travel prices. This represents a two-point gain over the previous quarter.
The BTI is expected to continue rising for the rest of 2014, reaching 137 by the end of the year.

KNB Blog Fireworks 171229
In Hawaii we celebrate the New Year with fire works. Doing so requires a permit and arial fireworks are only permitted if you are a professional rocketeer. Hotels and Communities throughout the State sponsor beautiful airial fireworks displays. Unfortuately, my of our local people still want to celebrate the old tradition with their personal fireworks displays. The Honolulu Police Department responds to hundreds of reports of airial fireworks being used ilegaly. The problem is most of those calls are not specific enough for the police to take action. When you report a violation give a specific location. You can report a violation ananomouly, but it reallly helps the police to have a contact person. Give as detailed information as possible. Give a specific address if you have it and give a discription of who, what, when and how a violation is happening. "Rockets and bombs are being fired by a large man and his children. The man ignites his fire works from the middle of the street. He is wearing a red T-Shirt and bluegenes. His fireworks are stored in the bed of his pickup license number HNL123." The more information you can provide the better the chance of an effective prosecution. Police can only issue a citation if they observe the illegal activity. The police need your help. Every year, people are injured and fires are started by...Read More

Upon setting up my artwork, I had problems with the scale of the paper compared to the allocated space. After discussing many different places to present the paper, we decided that it would be best to leave it on the floor. This meant that I had to trim the edges to allow for people to walk around the room without ruining the artwork.
Overall, I was really pleased to see the finished product( Both the painted butches paper and the video running) as the repetition and variation was really brought to life.

In case I haven't shared enough, I am SO READY for fall. I think the brutally hot summers in southern New Mexico forever scarred me (although the mild winters will be missed). It's like you walk outside at 7:30 am and you're already sweating 🙈 So, I've gotta admit that I'm thoroughly enjoying the more mild temps in Santa Fe!
Even though fall is rapidly approaching, if you're dreading putting away your summer clothes - don't worry! You don't have to. At least not all of them. Layering allows for seasonal versatility. In short, it keeps your sleeveless neutrals in rotation all year long. Without a trench, this top is very airy and summery - exactly what I was going for! But add a trench or thick duster and you're looking like a pumpkin spice latte. Jk but watch out fall! You're coming in hot 🔥 or at least armed (for colder weather) and stylish 😉
I felt like a (modern) fairytale princess in this top. Don't mind me as I twirl through the streets of Dublin! Feminine and unique are always high on my (clothing) priority list.
Would you believe me if I told you this fabulous top is under $30? Yep! It is. (Don't ponder this too long or you might miss your chance to snag this steal of a deal!) I've linked all you need to recreate 2 looks with 1 top 💁🏻
This top will transition smoothly from summer to fall and you didn't even have to put any effort or creativity into making it happen. Enjoy, friends!
(I'm trying to get better about more consistent blog posts but I've gotta admit, I'm staying up until 1:00-3:00 am trying to balance work, blog and NYFW 😴 Don't laugh if I make the headlines for falling asleep during a runway show 😳)

"In her memoir, Westover recounts her childhood growing up in a strict Mormon family, ruled by an erratic father, and living off the grid in Idaho. Westover compellingly sketches her years growing up, her relationships with siblings, encounters in the town nearby, and the events that eventually drove her to leave and pursue formal education. For fans of Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle." --Andrea Gough, Seattle Public Library, Seattle, WA
An American Marriage
by Tayari Jones
"Celestial and Roy are newly married professionals leaning in to a bright future when Roy is convicted of a crime he did not commit. This is not a heroes vs. villains tale with a tidy resolution.

Book clubs get ready!" --Jennifer Alexander, St. Louis County Library, St. Louis, MO
by Madeline Miller

As I sit here on Emirates flight 237, only two and a half hours away from stepping foot in Boston, I can hardly believe it's been three weeks since I left home. I'm sitting in a nearly identical plane, eating nearly identical terrible airplane food, wearing a nearly identical outfit to the one I did when I began my journey to India. If you were to look at me, you would think nothing had changed.
But you'd be wrong.
Last time I was on a flight, shooting thousands of miles in the other direction, so hopeful and so excited, I vowed to leave a number of things behind as I began my new journey. But now I write not about loss, but about gain. Because three weeks later, thousands of memories later, hundreds of experiences richer, I'm bringing so much home.
The main thing I'm bringing home, in many senses of the word, is love. In fact, if I had to pick one thing that Niswarth is about, I wouldn't pick education, or development, or even learning. I would pick love. I'm bringing home all the love that I was given by all the people we met: the ESI staff, the teachers and students at the Municipal school, the adolescent girls, my fellow peers. I'm bringing back the love of Sanjay, one of the students at the Municipal school. The way he followed me around, his bright, big, brown eyes on mine every time I turned around, the way he would watch our van drive away every day, the way he looked at me through the barred window on our last day at the school, asking me in Hindi, "You're not coming back tomorrow?" I'm bringing back the touching, real love that he managed to give to me despite our limited interaction and knowledge of each other. I'm bringing back the love that dozens of adolescent girls showed me, as we danced and laughed and sang and said good-bye. I'm bringing back the love contained in the way that they hugged me and patiently applied mendhi for me and shook my hand and asked me when I would return and told me to visit them if I came to Ahmedabad again and shouted good-byes until our bus zoomed away.
Along with the memories of the love I was given, I bring back a new philosophy of love and a determination to both find it, appreciate it, and create it. From the wisdom of Mukesh Bhai, Suresh Bhai, and Jayesh Bhai, I bring back the belief that small things done with great love are what matter. I bring back the belief that spirituality is the openness of one's heart, that the heart has no limits, and that we must treat every person on earth with the love of a brother of sister. From Vandana, I bring back the knowledge that we are shown immense acts of love every day, and that when recognize and appreciate these acts, we will find gratitude and happiness. I bring back the intention to love myself and love every person around me.
I'm bringing home a new perspective, understanding, and respect for all the people and communities we encountered and worked with. As I walked through various slum communities, I learned not to see the dirt-covered, small shanties and prominent ribs of the children, but to also see the meaningful communities that they forged, the fact that they were people just as much I am a person, their bravery and fortitude, and their resilience.
I'm bringing home new habits of meditation and silence and reflection and thought.
I'm bringing home a journal full of scribbled quotes, jotted-down notes, and haphazard thoughts. Thoughts that I haven't yet digested and don't yet fully understand , but ones that I hope I will continue to pursue long beyond this summer.
I'm bringing home thirteen incredible, hilarious, generous, kind, thoughtful friends, ones with whom I hope I will stay friends for a long time to come. Our connection truly is remarkable--we have shared experiences and seen sides of each other that are rarely possible in typical friendships. I'm bringing home so many memories: late-night talks, hours of singing in the back of the bus, sprinkler adventures, slightly embarrassing water bottle incidents, slightly more embarrassing tripping incidents, countless odd inside jokes, hours of attempting to dance garba, and more. My heart aches a little when I think that I may see some of them very rarely, if ever, but I have faith that we will keep in touch.
As I come to the end of this blog post, I feel as if I am concluding my Niswarth experience, neatly wrapping up the end of my sweaty, beautiful three-week experience. But while the three-week program itself might be ending, I know that its effects are far from over.
I'm bringing home gratitude.

Maciej Janowski insists he will be "ready for a big fight next year" after admitting "maybe it's not my time yet" in the SGP title race.
12 / 10 / 2018, 10:56
Polish star Maciej Janowski insists he will be "ready for a big fight next year" after admitting "maybe it's not my time yet" in the FIM Speedway World Championship race.
The Wroclaw icon finished fourth in the SGP standings for the second straight season after being pipped to bronze by Freddie Lindgren at the Torun SGP.
While Bartosz Zmarzlik has now won silver and bronze and Patryk Dudek finished second last season, Magic is yet to appear on the podium.
But Janowski has long been tipped as a future world champion and pledged to keep putting in the work to make that dream a reality.
He said: "Maybe it's not my time yet. But I have good motivation. I will try to have a good winter for sure. I will put 100 percent of my energy into this winter and be ready for a big fight next year.
"This year it was so close but so far. It is how it is. This season has taught me a lot and I feel a little bit disappointed. But I couldn't find good speed in my bikes in Torun. I didn't have such a good meeting in Torun and Teterow with the crash. I lost points in both."
Janowski is keen to make the most of his winter as his preparations begin for SGP 2019. He said: "I will be training a lot and maybe I will have a small holiday. But then I will be focused on next year. I can't wait for next season."

You may not yet have heard of Sheppard. But the Aussie sextet's 2014 debut album Bombs Away, shot them straight to serious stardom Down Under, with a battery of awards and a 5x platinum single, "Geronimo," which was also a hit in the US. (They actually appeared on Ellenand LIVE with Kelly here, and toured with Meghan Trainor.)
This spring will finally see the release of the follow up, the intriguingly titled Watching the Sky. The first single "Coming Home" is an exuberant, anthemic-pop instant-classic, with its rousing chorus of, "I'm coming home tonight / Meet me in the valley / Where the kids collide into the morning." It most definitely has us excited for the album.
While we wait for them to return to the States, we caught up for a chat with them and asked them to turn us onto the places they can be found clocking time when they're back in their hometown of Brisbane. A modern city, which at its coldest (July) averages 70 degrees Farenheit – meaning, you literally don't need to own a sweater or scarf – Brisbane is known for its world class cultural venues, it's nearby surfing options and, of course, its music scene. It's also just an hour-and-a-half flight from Sydney.
Sheppard will be doing a few live dates in Australia during March and April – but they promise to be returning to the States before long.

Many of my friends are beyond creeped out by the new commercial for SJP's "Covet" Perfume. Personally, I adore it. While it is a bit campy it has a neat haute couture edge that is really appealing to me. What do you think?

Sarah Jessica Parker Has to Have It
Posted by Couture Bowl at 3:42 PM

I was shocked and deterred by it because it goes so against everything we associate with Sarah Jessica Parker. Perhaps that was their idea--could hardly ignore it. But it didn't make me want to buy it: the message it sent to me was "if you're an angry sociopath, this is the perfume for you." I doubt that was their intent when planning the campaign, but it did cool me off towards the scent somewhat.

Owners Zach French, Melissa French and Jake Miller run a friendly, cozy taproom that feels more like a stylish den than a bar with its exposed light fixtures, smoothed over garage floor and plenty of natural light. Their beers include a lot of citrus flavors and fun experiments that taste strong and drink easy. Keep up with what's on tap over at their website.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (Legal Newsline) - A rural Missouri college used the 225th anniversary of the Constitution of the United States on Monday to file a lawsuit against the Obama administration.
The College of the Ozarks filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri against the Department of Health and Human Services and others. It is alleging violations of its Constitutional rights because of the Affordable Care Act's mandates of providing insurance payments for birth control and abortion, which the College of the Ozarks says is contrary to its religious convictions.
There are currently nearly 30 lawsuits across the nation challenging the Affordable Care Act's abortion and contraception mandate.
CFO believes that the mandate requiring that the employees' health insurance plan contain coverage or access to coverage for elective abortion services, certain FDA-approved abortifacient drugs, and related education and counseling is illegal. Since the Mandate exposes CFO to fines for the exercise of its religious beliefs by denying payment for abortions and contraception, this violates not only its Constitutional rights but its rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the college says.
CFO maintains that the "narrowly-crafted" religious employer exemption and "safe harbor" make it impossible for the College to comply with its religious beliefs. The Act, it says, also violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause that prohibits the establishment of any national religion, excessive government entanglement with religion, and the preference by the government of one religion over another because it creates "a tiered exemption of more religious and less religious organizations." The former are exempt from the Mandate and the latter are not.
"The so-called Affordable Care Act is government at its worst," CFO President Jerry Davis said. "This is not a partisan issue. It is a constitutional issue, and the college wants its rights respected and enforced, instead of being trampled upon. The Constitution still matters."

The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth has several financial programs to assist graduate students with the cost of advanced studies. These programs apply to degree-seeking, matriculated students only. Non-degree students who have not received formal admission to the university, sometimes called "Special Students" at UMass Dartmouth, are generally not eligible to receive financial aid.
Graduate assistantships come in a variety of forms—teaching, research, or general graduate assistantships—depending on the student's abilities and the resources and needs of the academic departments. They are awarded with respect to the student's field of study and are competitive, given to applicants with stronger records who will best meet the department's needs. All awards are recommended by the department and college and made through the Office of Graduate Studies. Continuation of assistantships will be determined by the department and college and will be contingent upon the student maintaining an acceptable grade record and making satisfactory progress toward the degree. Performance in the assistantship and the availability of funds are also criteria for continuation.
Applicants request consideration for an assistantship on the graduate application for admission form. Because the graduate program faculty and department recommend assistantship appointments, students who want further information about eligibility and the types of assistantships should contact the academic department concerned.
Often, admission acceptance must precede an offer of an assistantship. In some cases, funding may be late to develop; in other cases, one may have been placed on a waiting list for an assistantship. If you find yourself in this situation, we recommend that you apply for need-based or non-need-based loans or work-study in a timely fashion, before waiting to learn for sure about the assistantship award.
The stipends offered vary widely depending on qualifications and the student's academic program. Academic year assistantship stipends at the masters' level in 2005-2006 ranged from $6,000 to $18,000 (full-time rate, academic year). Some students, especially doctoral students, may also receive summer assistantships earning an additional stipend. UMass Dartmouth's graduate assistantships that extend from half-time to full-time are accompanied by a full waiver of tuition, whether it be at the in-state or out- of-state rates. Graduate assistants pay the same fees that others pay, with the exception that out-of-state graduate assistants pay only the in-state curriculum support fee rate.
A full-time graduate assistant (RA or TA) is required to work 20 hours per week for the assistantship; part-time assistantships are pro-rated from this amount.
The majority of financial aid for graduate students is in the form of loans. The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan programs provide loan funds to eligible students. Students who demonstrate financial need are considered for the subsidized direct loan. Students who do not qualify for the need based loan will be considered for the Unsubsidized direct loan. Very needy graduate students are also considered for the University Scholarship, comprising a waiver of the curriculum fee. Federal Work Study funds are limited and only on-time applicants are considered. Application for all aid programs is by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Graduate students are not eligible for federal or state grant programs.
Early application is strongly encouraged. The priority filing date is for FAFSA materials to be received at the Federal processor by March 1st of each year with UMass Dartmouth included in the list of schools. The UMass Dartmouth Title IV school code is 002210.
Students must be admitted to a degree program before eligibility can be determined for financial aid. However, in spring those who are still prospective graduate students are encouraged to submit the FAFSA even before the admissions decision is received. We recommend mailing your FAFSA by February 15th to ensure priority consideration. Students will need to reapply for financial aid each year.
In order to maintain eligibility for financial aid, students must be enrolled at least half-time, be in good academic standing with the university, and be making satisfactory progress toward their degree (the specific standard is stated in the chapter on Academic Regulations).
Students who wish to apply to receive aid while on Program Continuation status must complete the appropriate forms, which can be obtained at the University Student Enrollment Center or at Financial Aid Services.
(on temporary student visas)
With the exception of research and teaching assistantships, opportunities for support from the university or from university-related sources are essentially non-existent. The state and federal aid programs are not available to international students. The university also has no special scholarship or financial assistance programs for international students. International students should not expect that they will gain substantial income through part-time work. Opportunities to receive on-campus work are very limited.
International students must demonstrate that they have access to sufficient fiscal resources before the university will issue the immigration forms that authorize them to receive their student visas. For those awarded assistantships, we will apply the stipend and tuition/fee waivers toward their expenses on the I-20 form.
Students requesting need-based financial assistance must complete and mail the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is available in local libraries and high schools, also the Financial Aid Services Office, Foster Administration Building (phone 508 999-8632), where the members of the staff are happy to answer questions and offer other forms of help. Some applicants for aid are selected for verification; those selected will be required to submit documentation in support of their application and/or aid award. Please note that outside resources including tuition exemptions can affect other aid, including loans.
Early application for financial aid is definitely encouraged. The FAFSA should be mailed by February 15 for the fall semester and September 15 for spring semester entry. The Financial Aid Office will process applications throughout the school year for any available funds; however, qualified students who mail the FAFSA by the recommended dates will receive priority consideration. Students need to reapply for financial aid each year.
To qualify for assistance, a graduate student must be enrolled at least half-time in a degree program. Awards are calculated according to the student's course load, whether half-time or full-time, by criteria established in the graduate academic regulations. Students receiving financial assistance will need to notify Financial Aid Services of any changes in their registration or enrollment status, and are advised to consult the Financial Aid Services promptly about any anticipated changes that might affect their aid eligibility. Only students who have received formal, degree-seeking admission to the university are eligible to receive university financial aid.
Students who withdraw from the university before 60% of the semester is completed will have their Federal financial aid eligibility recalculated in direct proportion to the length of the enrollment. The percentage of time the student remained enrolled is that student's percentage of dispersible aid for the semester. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns all aid for the period. Withdrawal is recorded by the Office of the University Registrar in accordance with UMass Dartmouth withdrawal policies. More complete information is available from the Financial Aid office or web site.
To qualify for federally funded programs (Federal Work-Study, Perkins Loan, Subsidized and Unsubsidized Direct Loan), students must be citizens, or permanent residents, of the United States; have a valid social security number; be registered with selective service if required, and sign a statement of educational purpose.
Please note that financial aid funds are not disbursed to one's account until after the drop/add period. If you are expecting a refund, you will not receive a check until late September for the fall semester and late February for the spring semester. Please plan accordingly.
In order to maintain eligibility for financial aid, students must be in good academic standing with the University and be making satisfactory academic progress; students should consult the graduate academic regulations of the institution. The following minimum schedule of academic credits must be completed for a graduate student to maintain eligibility for university financial aid:
Satisfactory financial aid progress standards may be waived for students who can demonstrate mitigating circumstances, such as extraordinary physical, psychological, or medical problems. Each case will be reviewed, as appropriate, by the Director of Financial Aid.
(formerly National Direct Student Loan)
The Perkins Loan is available to qualified students in any class at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Graduate students who clearly need financial aid for meeting educational expenses may be eligible for loans under the Perkins Loan program.
An eligible graduate student may borrow to a maximum of $5,000 per academic year or $30,000 in total, including any previous Perkins Loans. Payment of principal and interest on these loans is deferred until after withdrawal or graduation from the university. The loan carries a low fixed interest rate of 5%.
These student loans are government insured loans, which are either subsidized or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans are issued based on need, with no interest charged while the student is enrolled. Repayment starts after graduation or when a student drops below half-time at the university. Unsubsidized loans carry interest from the time of disbursement.
Generally, an eligible graduate student may borrow a maximum of $8,500 per academic year in subsidized Stafford loans, up to $65,500 in total including graduate and undergraduate subsidized loans. Amounts can be increased by the addition of unsubsidized loans. There are limits to the total debt you may have outstanding from all Stafford loans, undergraduate and graduate.
To be considered for Direct and FFEL Stafford Loans, students need to file the FAFSA.
On-campus part-time work opportunities are available in the various departments, offices, and agencies of the university. Some forms of employment are awarded based on demonstrated need, but others are available to any qualified student. In addition, the university can assist students in locating part-time work off campus. Although some work assignments are funded through moneys provided by financial assistance, the student work program is administered through the Student Employment Office (phone 508-999-8655).
Need-based student employment is available through the university's participation in the Federal Work-Study program administered by the U. S. Department of Education. To be eligible for the Work-Study program, a student must be accepted for admission or be in good standing if currently enrolled. A student must have demonstrated need by submitting the FAFSA application, through the Office of Financial Aid. Approved students are guaranteed a certain level of work-study support but must still have the required personal qualifications and skills for the specific work-study assignment to be undertaken. The Student Employment Office handles the process of application and appointment to work-study jobs.
Non-need-based employment opportunities are provided through a variety of departmental part-time positions. These are positions offered by the academic or non-academic departments of the University to students who desire to work and meet the qualifications for the position but do not meet federal work-study financial need requirements. Information about departmental positions is available in the various departments and through the Student Employment Office, which handles the details of application and appointment.
Part-time employment may also be available in private businesses or homes, corporations, and industries in the area. The Student Employment Office maintains a listing and referral service for such positions.
Special fellowships and scholarships of various sorts may be available through individual departments or through external sources. Departments have scholarship funds that graduate students may receive. Some fellowships and scholarships are available from governmental or private institutions and organizations, often for special purposes such as supporting research or enabling graduate students to study abroad.
Interested applicants and students should first explore opportunities that might be available in their academic department through faculty and administrators involved in research or service activities that might have opportunities for compensated graduate student participation. Then, it is advisable to spend time in the reference room of the university library, where standard information references can be found about external scholarship and fellowship sources. Finally, for certain types of programs, such as federally-funded programs, the University's Office of Grants and Contracts can help provide information and assistance with practical details in the application process (Foster Administration Building, room 011; phone 508 999-8953).

Balsiger Insurance recently announced that they have expanded into Corpus Christi, Texas with their purchase of CKH Financial-Corpus Christi branch. Balsiger Insurance has locations in Las Vegas and Reno Nevada that specialize in all lines of insurance. On January 1 of this year they expanded into Santa Clarita, California with the addition of Lucchese Insurance. This along with the addition of CKH which also included the business of Areti Insurance continues to expand the Balsiger Insurance footprint. Agency principal, Keith Balsiger has over 35 years of experience as an agency owner and in management for a major Fortune 500 insurer.
Balsiger Insurance is pleased to add the Corpus Christi to its operations as it adds a large base of personal lines clients to their mix of business. Balsiger mentioned that it also makes them a stronger organization being spread out and less vulnerable to catastrophic losses or local economic swings. A driving component of the decision to move forward was the fact that the entire team of agents and account managers stayed on. Balsiger Insurance is pleased to be a part of the Corpus Christi community having already joined 3-4 local business groups.
When asked what makes Balsiger Insurance stand out or different Balsiger stated "As a broker we work for our clients not the insurance company. When a client or potential client comes to us we have their best interest in mind. We can shop their insurance with multiple top insurance companies to find the best combination of price and coverage. A captive insurance agent is just the opposite. They work for their one insurance company and have to make everyone fit that one company! When our clients insurance renewal comes up if there is an unacceptable change in premium we are able to 'shop' it again for our client to take advantage of any changes in the market-which saves the client time. Another important piece of what we do is make sure that we stay abreast to current market conditions. Everyone is aware of the major hurricane last year and many clients have seen their insurance costs go up by double digits. At Balsiger Insurance we are able to combine wind insurance with the home insurance in many cases that can save our clients as much as half on their annual insurance costs! And finally, should disaster strike we really differentiate ourselves from our competitors by staying involved in the claim to make sure our clients are taken care of!
The Corpus Christi office while having daily interaction with the other Balsiger Insurance offices is managed by Michelle Arriaga who has over 15 years of insurance experience. A long time Corpus Christi resident she and her family love the community and are very active in various organizations. Michelle along with Charles Stansel III and Roger Arce are the primary agents at Balsiger Insurance. Rose Calvillo is an account manager and Luis Santos a customer service rep at the Holly Road location. While primarily personal insurance up until now the local team is excited to expand into commercial insurance immediately. Balsiger Insurance has a team of commercial lines specialists averaging over 25 years of experience to service any Corpus Christi clients.
The office is open Monday through Friday 8:30AM-5PM and other times by appointment. The phone number remains 361-400-2973 and the location remains located at 5402 Holly Rd, #2104, Corpus Christi, TX 78411.
Becoming part of Balsiger Insurance has also expanded the number of insurance companies that the Corpus Christi branch has access to. In addition to Progressive, Texas Wind, Hallmark, ASI we now have many more options including Safeco, Hartford, Traveler's, Nationwide, American Modern, Liberty Mutual, Amtrust, Philadelphia Insurance, Texas Mutual, Markel, Mercury, Foremost, Amerisafe and 30-40 others to use as warranted.

Germany is the place to make it in the energy storage world, and Ideal Power did not want to miss out. The U.S. company had endeavored to join the market, and has now received its first order for its 30kW power conversion systems (PCS).
Ideal Power recently put on a demonstration of the capabilities of its PCS for energy storage at a commercial facility in Germany. With onlookers impressed, the demonstration has facilitated a deal for a half-megawatt order of its PCS, which will now be used for a commercial energy storage project in the country.
"We are pleased to expand into Germany, which has a mature residential storage market and burgeoning demand for commercial and industrial (C&I) storage," commented Dan Brdar, CEO of Ideal Power. "The pilot commercial installation was a successful case study and shows that our products combined with distributed energy storage have value beyond the U.S. demand charge application."
One of the selling points of Ideal Power's PCS is that the company has been able to reduce the size and weight of the system compared to conventional offerings, which means that the installation costs are significantly lower.
The potential prize for getting a foothold in the German energy storage market is huge, as the country has one of the most developed energy storage markets, especially for residential storage. In fact, by the end of 2015 there was already 67 MW of installed energy storage in the country, and market analysts GTM Research forecast that this will grow eleven-fold up until 2021, to reach an expected annual value of over USD 1 billion.

Wool Prices Ease Slightly
December 14, 2012
Wool prices slightly declined this week in Australia ahead of a three-week Christmas recess. There was a soft finish to the 2012 calendar year when the benchmark Australian Wool Exchange Eastern Market Indicator eased back 14 cents. More than 55,000 bales were presented to the buying trade this week, which was the largest sale in eight months and was the largest final-sale (for a calendar year) in five years.
The fall for most sectors was consistent with the trend noted late in the week when prices struggled to maintain the recent strong momentum. Prices eased during the first two days of sales while Thursday brought some stability into the market as prices remained firm.
Auctions recommence the week Jan. 7, 2013.

Good morning ladies! I really wanted to get this post out yesterday on opening day, but I was a little under the weather & stayed in bed most of the day. I'm feeling a little better, at least enough to sit here for a while and get this out. So let's get to today's items 🙂
The Mesh Body Addicts opened it's doors on the 10th and this event has some of the best creators in SL participating. One of the creators I'll feature today is a favorite of mine, United Colors. I simply adore their creations, always unique, and sophisticated. United Colors items can be worn to an event or simply hanging out with friends. The SkySummers Dress looks like individual leaves covering just enough to be a simply yet sexy design. The color huds are always amazing. I chose to make this dress black with gold accents. There is many combinations that you could come up with using their huds.
Also from MBA event, WOW Skins has a CATWA applier named "Guilia". She comes in multiple tones, shape, and body appliers. I'm wearing her on the Lilo Catwa head. I've added makeup from SU! and ARISE. (Details in credits).

When you first run .NET Reflector, you will be asked pick a version of the NET Framework to populate the assembly list.
When you want to browse an assembly, all you will need to do is to run NET Reflector, drag the file from Windows explorer and drop it onto NET Reflector. You can also open and .exe, .dll or .mcl file from the file menu in .NET Reflector.
Then you can drill down into namespaces, class and functions and down there, you have a bit of information about each of the components – you can see where the assembly is, its name, version, what type of assembly it is…
Here, we are browsing System.Windows.Forms
The main functionality of .NET Reflector is the disassembler. So let's say I want to understand what happens during a particular event because something is not behaving the right way, or my app is not behaving as expected. You can drill down to the method of your choice, right-click and choose Disassemble. And there you have it:
You may, at this stage, need to choose the version of NET Framework that the assembly was developed with by using the View->options dialog box.
you can see the code for that function and see what it does in the Disassembler pane on the right.
I can choose to view the code in C#, or VB.NET or IL code.
The other cool thing you can do with .NET Reflector is navigating the code view. You can browse the source code by clicking on a function name and that's really useful because you can explore code quickly, and understand what's happening behind the scenes.
You can navigate the disassembly view,so if I click here in the onclick method
… it will take me to method OnClick
Right down there, we can see that we have the ability to Expand Methods.
When we click on it, it expands and decompiles all the methods in one go.
The other thing you can do with .NET Reflector, is to Analyze a class or a function, so say we pick the function called OnClick(EventArgs) and we right click and choose the command Analyze, we'll have the Analyzer come up here on the right and we can see what that function depends on, and see the functions that it uses…so we can see the interaction between the different functions.
It's the same principle with a Class. If you pick a class, say Button, you can see the same thing plus, we can also see what the type is exposed by and instantiated by.
You can also access documentation with .NET Reflector. So if I pick an assembly for which there's xml documentation available, we can see the documentation for that class or function appearing down on the right. Here we'll look at a class from ANTS Profiler.
.NET Reflector also has a search functionality (<View<Search). You can set it so it searches on classes or functions.
You'll also note that .NET Reflector lets you access and save resource files.
Finally, one last thing I wanted to show you is the Windows Shell integration. We'll close Reflector, bring up the command line (run – cmd), we'll drag the Reflector.exe in here and add " /register"
Now if we find a dll and right-click on it, we get a "Browse with .NET Reflector" in the context menu!
If you press Control Alt C when you have selected an item in an assembly in NET Reflector's browser, you will have a reference on your clipboard that is just like a URL. If you paste it into any web-page or browser-based page, you can then use the URI as a short-cut to bring that item up in NET Reflector.
