Question: Why is my call not being answered when calling the Student Administrative Services Center (SASC) at (860)768-4999?
Answer: Please be sure you are calling our office during regular business hours. Please note that our initial greeting at 860-768-4999 is not a voicemail box. The greeting automatically puts you in a calling queue to be answered by the next available representative. If you are calling during regular business hours and you are unable to reach us, you may be calling during a peak call time. We generally have 4 to 6 people scheduled to answer incoming telephone calls. However, our volume of calls increase greatly during the 12:00 - 2:00pm lunch hour each day. They also increase when the Bursar billing statements are received at home and at the time of the due date for the billing statement. Another busy telephone time is at the beginning of each semester. You may try the following:
Question: How much does it cost to attend the University of Hartford?
Answer: Cost of attendance relies upon many different variables.

Question: Where is the credit for my $500.00 Admissions deposit?
Answer: Students who expect to live on-campus pay a $500.00 admissions deposit and those students with off-campus housing are required to pay a $300.00 admissions deposit. The only portion of your admissions deposit that will be reflected on the Bursar billing statement is the $100.00 tuition deposit. Please note we do not reflect the $200.00 fee for commuter student orientation, the $250.00 fee for resident student orientation, or the$150.00 damage deposit on the Bursar billing statement. The orientation fee covers the student's cost of orientation and the damage deposit is held on the student account until they vacate housing. The damage deposit is then released to the account and processed according to the Residential Life deposit guidelines.
Question: How can I get a transcript?
Answer: Use the following link to place a transcript order: https://exchange.parchment.com/send/adds/index.php?main_page=login&s_id=dAM6hFXccsH0pD7x . If you are a current student, you also may order official transcripts after logging in to your self-service account.
You can have your transcript delivered by one fo the methods below.
Please note that the Registrar's office will not process transcripts if you have a hold on your account. Holds include cashier restriction, Stafford/Perkins exit requirements and health immunization restrictions.
Question: I have a loan pending, why am I not cleared for classes?
Answer: We issue a 'memo credit' on student accounts for pending loans as long as all the proper paperwork has been completed and processed. Please be sure you have properly completed the MPN (master promissory note). Federal Stafford and Perkins loans require the MPN be completed prior to issuing a memo credit. Other loans including, PLUS, EXCEL, CT FELP, TERI, CitiASSIST, will not memo until the school has certified the loan. If you have submitted a promissory note to a lender you may fax this information to our office at (860)768-4886 and we can review the student account. Include the student name, ID number, name of contact person and telephone number where you can be reached.
Question: I am waiting for my outside scholarship to be credited to my account. Do I need to pay the balance due before you receive the funds?
Answer: The University does not consider outside scholarships a payment until the actual check is received and credited on your account. Therefore, outside scholarships do follow the same payment due dates as tuition payments. You will need to make sure that they have the current due dates for your tuition. If payment is not expected by the due date, you will need to pay your account balance in full and can request a refund when the scholarship money is received and your Bursar account reflects a credit balance.
Question: Where can I get information for my medical insurance company?
Answer: Enrollment verifications are now done through the National Student Clearing House. Students should log in to their self-service account, click on Student Main Menu, click on Student Academic Records then click on the Official Academic Transcript and Enrollment Verificatio Requests link. This will open a new window and link to the National Student Clearing house. Enrollment verifications can be done for the current semester or for all semesters the student had been in attendance.
Question: Why do I need a student identification (ID) card?
Answer: Please go to our Student ID webpage for more information.
Question: Do I need a parking permit if I only take one class at night?
Answer: Yes. Every vehicle parked on campus is required to carry the proper parking permit for the lot where the vehicle is parked. Vehicles not showing a valid parking permit for the lot they are parking in are subject to a parking fine. Parking permits can be initiated after August 18th by logging into the Student Self Service Center and clicking the Public Safety/Parking link.
Question: How can I get my books?

At this time they will be processed in the order in which they were received. Used books are sold on a first come first serve basis. Requesting DO NOT SUBSTITUTE could result in an incomplete order. If used books are available The Campus Bookstore will ALWAYS pull them first unless indicated otherwise.
Question: Am I eligible for a Bookstore voucher?
Answer: Bookstore vouchers can be issued to students who have need based financial aid above the cost of tuition and fees. The only loans considered in assessing the eligibility for a voucher are Federal Stafford Loans. Loans such as the Federal PLUS, CT FELP and TERI as well as HigherOne's Tuition Payment Plan may not be considered in verifying the eligibility of receiving a bookstore voucher. Students who are eligible for a bookstore voucher need to come to SASC's office, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. with a valid student identification card.

What Is a Boil?
A boil is a skin infection that starts in a hair follicle or oil gland. Also referred to as a skin abscess, it is a localized infection deep in the skin. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with infection-fighting white blood cells that the body sends via the bloodstream to eradicate the infection. This collection of white blood cells, bacteria, and proteins is known as pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head," which can be surgically opened or spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin.
Boil Symptoms
A boil starts as a hard, red, painful lump usually less than an inch in size. Over the next few days, the lump becomes softer, larger, and more painful. Soon a pocket of pus forms on the top of the boil. Signs of a severe infection are
- the skin around the boil becomes red, painful, and swollen;
- more boils may appear around the original one;
- a fever develops;
- the lymph nodes in the area become swollen.
Where Do Boils Form?
The most common places for boils to appear are on the
- neck,
- armpits,
- shoulders,
- buttocks.
What Causes Boils?
There are many causes of boils. Boils are usually caused by a type of bacteria called Staphylococcus (staph). Many staph infections develop into abscesses and can become serious very quickly. This germ can be present on normal skin and enters the body through tiny breaks in the skin or by traveling down a hair to the follicle. Some boils can be caused by an ingrown hair. Others can form as the result of a splinter or other foreign material that has become lodged in the skin that causes the infection to develop.
Additional Causes of Boils
The skin is an essential part of our immune defense against materials and microbes that are foreign to our body. Any break in the skin, such as a cut or scrape, can develop into an abscess (boil) should it then become infected with bacteria.
Folliculitis Could Be an Early Warning
Folliculitis is an inflammation or infection of the hair follicles. This condition can develop into a boil and appears as numerous small red or pink little bumps at the hair follicles. Infection of the hair follicles can occur when the skin is disrupted or inflamed due to a number of conditions, including acne, skin wounds or injuries, friction from clothing, excessive sweating, or exposure to toxins.
Are Boils Contagious?
Boils themselves are not contagious, but the bacteria that cause boils are. Until it drains and heals, an active skin boil is contagious. The infection can spread to other parts of the person's body or to other people through skin-to-skin contact or the sharing of personal items.
What Are the Types of Boils?
There are several different types of boils. Another name for a boil is furuncle. Among these are
- carbuncle
- hidradenitis suppurativa (seen in the armpit or groin)
- pilonidal cyst
- cystic acne
- sty (stye)
Boil Type: Carbuncle
A carbuncle is an abscess in the skin caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It usually involves a group of hair follicles and is therefore larger than a typical furuncle, or boil. A carbuncle can have one or more openings onto the skin and may be associated with fever or chills.
Boil Type: Cystic Acne
Cystic acne is a type of abscess that is formed when oil ducts become clogged and inflamed. Cystic acne affects deeper skin tissue than the more superficial inflammation from common acne. Cystic acne is most common on the face and typically occurs in the teenage years.
Boil Type: Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a condition in which there are multiple abscesses that form under the armpits and often in the groin area. These areas are a result of local inflammation of the hair follicles. This form of skin inflammation is difficult to treat with antibiotics alone and typically requires a surgical procedure to remove the involved hair follicles in order to stop the skin inflammation.
Boil Type: Pilonidal Cyst
A pilonidal cyst is a unique kind of abscess that occurs in or above the crease of the buttocks. Pilonidal cysts often begin as tiny areas of inflammation in the base of the area of skin from which hair grows (the hair follicle). With irritation from direct pressure, over time the inflamed area enlarges to become a firm, painful, tender nodule making it difficult to sit without discomfort. These frequently form after long trips that involve prolonged sitting.
Boil Type: Sty
A sty (also spelled stye) is a tender, painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or under or inside the eyelid. A sty results from a localized inflammation of the glands or a hair follicle of the eyelid. A sty is sometimes confused with a chalazion, a lump on the inner portion of the upper or lower eyelid, but a chalazion is usually painless and caused by obstruction and inflammation of an oil gland, not an infection.
Who Is Most Likely to Develop a Boil?
Anyone can develop a boil. However, people with certain illnesses or medications that impair the body's immune system are more likely to develop boils. Among the illnesses that can be associated with impaired immune systems are diabetes and kidney failure. Diseases, such as hypogammaglobulinemia, that are associated with deficiencies in the normal immune system, can increase the tendency to develop boils. Many medications can suppress the normal immune system and increase the risk of developing boils. These medications include cortisone medications (prednisone and prednisolone) and medications used for cancer chemotherapy.
What Is the Treatment for a Boil?
Most simple boils can be treated at home. Ideally, the treatment should begin as soon as a boil is noticed since early treatment may prevent later complications. The primary treatment for most boils is heat application, usually with hot soaks or hot packs. Heat application increases the circulation to the area and allows the body to better fight off the infection by bringing antibodies and white blood cells to the site of infection. Do not pop the boil with a needle. This usually results in making the infection worse.
Should Boils Be Drained?
As long as the boil is small and firm, opening the area and draining the boil is not helpful, even if the area is painful. However, once the boil becomes soft or "forms a head" (that is, a small pustule is noted in the boil), it can be ready to drain. Once drained, pain relief can be dramatic. Most small boils, such as those that form around hairs, drain on their own with soaking and/or heat application. On occasion, and especially with larger boils, the larger boil will need to be drained or "lanced" by a health-care practitioner. Frequently, these larger boils contain several pockets of pus that must be opened and drained.
Should Boils Be Treated With Antibiotics?
Antibiotics are often used to eliminate the accompanying bacterial infection. Especially if there is an infection of the surrounding skin, the doctor often prescribes antibiotics. However, antibiotics are not needed in every situation. In fact, antibiotics have difficulty penetrating the outer wall of an abscess and often will not cure an abscess without additional surgical drainage. In most cases, incising and draining the boil is sufficient to cure the infection.
When Should I Seek Medical Attention?
You should call your doctor and seek medical attention if:
- the boil is located on your face, near your spine, or near your anus;
- a boil is getting larger;
- the pain is severe;
- you have a fever;
- the skin around the boil turns red or red streaks appear;
- you have a heart murmur, diabetes, any problem with your immune system, or use immune-suppressing drugs (for example, corticosteroids or chemotherapy) and you develop a boil;
- the boil has not improved after five to seven days of home treatment;
- you get many boils over several months.
What Can Be Done to Prevent Boils (Abscesses)?
Good hygiene and the regular use of antibacterial soaps can help to prevent bacteria from building up on the skin. This can reduce the chance for hair follicles to become infected and prevent the formation of boils. Your health-care practitioner may recommend special cleansers such as Hibiclens to further reduce the bacteria on the skin.
What Can Be Done to Prevent More Serious Boils and Abscesses?
Pilonidal cysts can be prevented by avoiding continuous direct pressure or irritation of the buttock area when a local hair follicle becomes inflamed. Regular soap and hot water cleaning and drying can be helpful. For acne and hidradenitis suppurativa, antibiotics used as anti-inflammatory agents may be required on a long-term basis to prevent recurrent abscess formation. Finally, surgery may occasionally be needed, especially for hidradenitis suppurativa or pilonidal cysts that recur. For pilonidal cysts, surgically removing the outer shell of the cyst is important to clear the boil. For hidradenitis suppurativa, extensive involvement can require plastic surgery.

Happy belated New Year! Booze News is back for its fifth installment. This time, The Economist provides a pair of articles on the wonders of Belgian and British beer, some thoughts from an Atlantic contributor on an increasingly popular herbal liqueur, and finally, some information on why drying out after the holidays is just a waste of time.
I've previously written about Belgium's fantastic Trappist ales. And it's not just those seven specific brewers. Generally speaking, Belgian beer is some of the best anywhere. The Economist agrees, but supports the conclusion with a bit more analysis. In addition to reputation, "Belgium is also home to the world's biggest brewer. Anheuser-Busch (AB) InBev, based in Leuven, a small university town half an hour by train from Brussels, turns out one in five of every beer sold around the world."
Belgium's geographic location also doesn't hurt: "the climate and the land are excellent for growing barley and hops, the basic ingredients of beer. Belgium is also known for its high-quality water, vital for turning out good beer." Furthermore, "at one time or another most of Europe's great powers have held sway over Belgium; many have left behind influences and flavours." No doubt then why Belgian beer is just so incredibly tasty.
Read the Economist article, Belgian Beer: Brewed force
Looking north and homeward to the British isles, The Economist next considers Britain's long history and culture of binge drinking. In his upcoming book Intoxication and Society, Cambridge historian Philip Withington argues it "was the educated elite who taught Britons how to drink to excess."
However, these elites were forced to booze responsibly: "Men were to consume large quantities of alcohol in keeping with conventions of excess. Yet they were also supposed to remain in control of their faculties, bantering and displaying wit. Students and would-be lawyers formed drinking societies, where they learned the social—and drinking—skills required of gentlemen." Thus, copius drinking was permitted so long as one could still think sharply and cleverly."
And perhaps things haven't changed so much from the past. "Although intoxication was a classless pursuit in the 17th century, it was the privileged who turned it into a cultural phenomenon. The affluent are still boozy… The wit is still there, too—although it is likely to seem funnier after the listener has had a few drinks as well."
Read The Economist article, England's booze culture: Always with us
From Belgium and Britain, we head now to Argentina, home of fernet, "the liquor for all occasions. Grandparents swear by the herbal libation; the young heading out into the night mix fernet with cola and then order it en masse at bars and clubs; and no one would dare organize a barbecue, which are called asados in Argentina and are very regular affairs with friends or families, without fernet."
What is this mysterious liqueur, you might ask? I'll let Karina Martinez-Carter explain: "For the first-time fernet drinker, the popularity of booze that tastes like black licorice devoid of sugar might be confounding. The botanical, 80-proof fernet is no innocuous vodka. It is made from bitters and herbs, and though it goes down relatively smooth, the aftertaste kicks and lingers. It is, as almost everyone describes it, an acquired taste."
After picking up a bottle of Italian Fernet Branca last week, I'm still attempting to acquire a taste myself. Good luck acquiring your own.
Read Martinez-Carter's Atlantic article, Fernet: The Best Liquor You're (Still) Not Yet Drinking
And finally, we return once again to Britain, where scientists at the British Liver Trust give us another reason to just keep on drinking after the holidays. "Giving up alcohol or going on a detox for one month is pointless, especially after the excesses of the festive season… Experts agree that a short period of complete abstinence will not improve liver health," reports the BBC.
Instead, Andrew Langford, the British Liver Trust's chief executive recommends "making a resolution to take a few days off alcohol a week throughout the entire year than remaining abstinent for January only." A few days a week rather than an entire month off – that's certainly much more reasonable.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - People familiar with the decision say injured South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore will enter the NFL draft.
One person said Monday that Lattimore is expected to announce his decision later this week. The people spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there has not been an official announcement of Lattimore's decision.
The running back suffered a horrific injury to his right knee against Tennessee on Oct. 27. Doctors say Lattimore had successful surgery to repair several ligaments on Nov. 2.
Lattimore injured his left knee in 2011 as a sophomore. He rushed for 662 yards and 11 touchdowns this season, both team highs. He is South Carolina's career leader with 41 touchdowns.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard's links to a union slush fund and the continued flow of asylum-seeker boats will dominate what is sure to be a fiery final week of federal parliament for 2012.
While the government will seek to shift the focus to its schools and disability reforms, the opposition will do everything it can to ratchet up the pressure on Ms Gillard over the Australian Workers Union scandal.
The coalition will intensify its demands for Ms Gillard to make a full explanation to parliament about her role in setting up a fund that was used as a slush fund by her then-boyfriend, AWU official Bruce Wilson.
Ms Gillard worked as a lawyer at Slater & Gordon in the 1990s when she helped establish the AWU Workplace Reform Association on behalf of Mr Wilson and another unionist, Ralph Blewitt.
She has since referred to the association as a slush fund and has consistently denied any personal wrongdoing.
Senior government ministers have seized on claims by Mr Wilson that Ms Gillard had no knowledge of the fraudulent use of funds, but the coalition insists she still has questions to answer before parliament wraps up ahead of the two-month summer break.
The coalition will also up the ante on border protection after the government last week conceded its three month-old offshore processing regime had been swamped by the more than 7500 asylum seekers who have arrived by boat since August.
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen announced the government would release thousands more asylum seekers into the community on rolling bridging visas, but with no right to work and only limited financial assistance.
The policy has drawn comparisons to the Howard government's much-maligned temporary protection visas, which Labor scrapped in 2008.
And it has proven unpopular with Labor's left faction, setting the stage for a potentially heated caucus debate on Tuesday.
The coalition will seek to exploit these divisions by introducing into the lower house a bill to restore TPVs.
The government will introduce bills this week to underpin its National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Gonski school reforms.
But the Australian Greens have called on the government to commit serious funds to both initiatives when it introduces the bills.
"I am sick of hearing big announcements about important reforms, only for the funding to be put on the never-never," Greens Deputy Leader Adam Bandt said.
The Greens will also ask parliament to reject the government's Murray-Darling Basin Plan, despite it already being signed into law.
They say the plan to return 2750 gigalitres of surface water to the environment each year will not give the beleaguered river system the help it needs and doesn't take into account the impact of climate change.
They will move to disallow the plan after it's tabled in parliament and "send it back to the minister to get it right".
The government's national gambling reforms are also listed for debate in the lower house.
Independent MP Rob Oakeshott says political parties should be required to declare their latest donations from pubs and clubs before the debate begins.
"Like any board of directors or any management team the stakeholders should declare any potential conflict of interest before a decision is made or a vote taken," he says.
There's also likely to be more discussion on the Royal Commission into Child Sex Abuse, with submissions on the terms of reference to close on Monday.
The government's move to scrap the proposed floor price for the emissions trading scheme and link it to the European Union's market is set to pass the Senate.

- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry; every 6 months if patient is 2 - 5 years from study entry; up to 5 years ]
Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to progression or death without documentation of progression. For cases without progression, follow-up was censored at the date of last disease assessment without progression, unless death occurs within 3 months following the date last known progression-free, in which case the death was counted as a failure.
Progression was evaluated using RECIST 1.1 criteria and defined as:
At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study and the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.
- Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry; every 6 months if patient is 2 - 5 years from study entry; up to 5 years ]Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death or date last known alive.
- Proportion of Patients With Objective Response [ Time Frame: Assessed every 3 months if patient is < 2 years from study entry and every 6 months if patient is 2-5 years from study entry; up to 5 years ]
Objective response was evaluated using the RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Objective response includes complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). Objective response is defined as disappearance of all target lesions or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions. In addition, non-target lesions do not meet the criteria for disease progression and no new lesions were observed.

Perhaps the reason so many people continue to reject the notion of evolution is that it seems contrary to ordinary experience.
Evolutionists speculate that life gradually evolved from mere hydrogen in a series of stages.
Is the evidence for evolution so overwhelming that teachers may be justified in running over the religious beliefs of many students and their parents?
Dr. Menton's essays show solid support for creation and put forth a mighty challenge to evolution in every area touched by his presentations.
Seabirds have a special gland that helps them drink seawater. Amazingly, a few other birds can develop this salt gland, as needed.
Look at those luscious pancakes! Can't you just taste them? You can—because of God's intricate design for your senses.
Dogs are always sniffing around, but it's not because they're always hungry. Unlike us, they interpret the world primarily through smell.
The Creator gave a few select animals—such as horses and camels—unique abilities to serve alongside people in harsh environments.
Every human being has the ability to communicate with a range of expressions no other creature can match.
The retinas of your eyes are made of living cells, which must be nourished by blood vessels. But with all this blood covering your eyes, how can you see?
A bird's-eye view involves much more than the panoramic view we see from an airplane.
Skin's multilayered design provides us with the perfect combination of strength, flexibility, and durability.
The media's excitement over Tiktaalik seems to mostly come from being able to discredit the biblical account of creation.
Vestigial organs have long been one of the classic arguments used as evidence for evolution.
What is evolutionism? Is it even a word? Dr. David Menton explores these questions and examines the worldview of evolution.
What makes bones so strong? If they were made out of minerals alone, they would be too brittle and break.
You might be surprised to discover that your legs are on backwards compared to your arms.
Ask the average layperson how he or she knows that the earth is millions or billions of years old, and that person will probably mention the dinosaurs.
It is often claimed that it takes more faith to believe in evolution than creation.
As far as stereotypes go, cavemen make easy targets—especially when transplanted into the twenty-first century.
Our body is truly a "body of evidence" for the all-knowing and all-powerful Creator. It inspires us to give credit to our Creator and Savior, and reminds us of our accountability to Him.

Today marks the one year anniversary of the Majority Report re-launch. In that time we have had over 1,000,000 free podcast downloads, won the best News and Politics PodcastAward, and delivered unparalleled news and commentary all because of your support.
And today also marks the 2 month anniversary of OccupyWallStreet- a movement which has amazed me in its dedication, committment and capacity to impact our politics. Today, OccupyWallStreet will take direct action.
Even before the Billionaire Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, decided to try to muzzle the message of this movement by sending hundreds of police to crack down on peaceful occupiers and evict them from Liberty Square, this was to be a pivotal day in Occupy history. I want to be a part of it in the best way I know, which is to share it with you. So, I've decided to report on this day, all day.
None of this would be possible without the support of our Majority Report Members and as I write this I am awkwardly blowing a shofar in appreciation. If you are not a member- please, we need your support to keep doing the show every day.
Click here to keep the Majority Report Alive!
As for today, we'll also have a great lineup of some of my favorite guests and some folks with whom I've never spoken... on the bill tomorrow..

U.S. stock futures rose Monday, even as news of North Korea ruler Kim Jong Il's death rattled Asia and European markets.
European markets fell, but then rebounded as investors weighed the potential consequences of Kim's death. Asian indexes closed lower. Analysts warn Kim's death could cause an uncertain power transition and put the brakes on talks aimed at getting the secretive communist state to give up its nuclear weapons.
Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader's untested third son and heir-apparent, is expected to want to consolidate his power and dispel any notions of weakness.
Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 51, or 0.4 percent at 11,829. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index futures are up 7, or 0.6 percent, at 1,218. Nasdaq 100 futures are up 13.25, or 0.6 percent, to 2246.
"The most likely scenario for regime collapse has been the sudden death of Kim (Jong Il). We are now in that scenario," said Victor Cha, a former U.S. National Security Council director for Asian affairs.
But after Asian indexes closed lower, European stocks recovered. Germany's DAX rose 0.7 percent to 5,741 and Paris' CAC 40 index rose 0.2 percent to 2,979. Britain's FTSE gained 0.3 percent to 5,405.40.
Overnight South Korea's Kospi index dived nearly 5 percent but later recouped some losses to close 3.4 percent lower at 1,776.93. The Korean won also fell, losing 1.6 percent against the U.S. dollar, a traditional haven in times of uncertainty. The Japanese yen and other regional currencies also weakened against the dollar.
The euro was flat around $1.3030.
Kim's death overshadowed what already was a gloomy start to the week after Fitch warned after the market close on Friday that it may downgrade the credit ratings of Italy and Spain, as well as Belgium, Cyprus, Ireland and Slovenia.
EU finance ministers will later Monday discuss how much money their countries will lend to the International Monetary Fund in a conference call.
The ministers will seek to decide how to split up the €200 billion ($261 billion) EU leaders promised to send to the IMF at a summit 10 days ago. The money is meant to boost the eurozone's firewall against the escalating debt crisis.There were some doubts whether the EU would reach the €200 billion after several non-eurozone countries balked at having to support the currency union. The ministers will also discuss in their conference call a new treaty to tighten fiscal discipline, a spokesman for the Polish delegation to the European said.
Over the coming days, investors will remain alert to developments in North Korea's power transition.
Kim Jong Il's death, announced Monday by North Korean state television, raises the specter of more instability on the divided Korean peninsula.
Those worries are most acute in South Korea and Japan, which have often been the targets of North Korea's mercurial military and diplomatic actions.
"We're seeing deeper negative sentiment in some markets," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, strategist at Credit Agricole CIB, in Hong Kong. "Basically this is because risk aversion on the geopolitical front has increased given that there's a transition of power in a relatively unstable country. So we're seeing an impact on equities, currencies."
South Korea's military and police went on alert and President Lee Myung-bak, convened a national security council meeting. Japanese leaders said they were watching markets closely and in contact with the U.S., Kyodo News Agency reported.
Kim was ailing after suffering what is thought to have been a stroke in 2008 and died at age 69 on Saturday.
North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency identified his third son, the twenty-something Kim Jong Un, as the "great successor" to the man known officially as the "Dear Leader."
But even with the younger Kim designated as his father's successor, and already filling high-ranking posts, some experts fear a behind-the-scenes power struggle or nuclear instability.
Fitch Ratings said it did not view Kim's death "as a trigger for negative action on South Korea's sovereign ratings in itself."
"For now, it's much too early to say risks have materially increased, but clearly we will keep the situation under close review," said Andrew Colquhoun, head of Fitch's Asia-Pacific sovereigns.
Markets in Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia also sank on Monday.
Still, barring unexpected developments in Pyongyang the impact of Kim's death on markets is likely to be passing, analysts said.
"In the short term there will be some psychological uncertainty but I think things will go back to the fundamentals," said Steven Leung, director of institutional sales at UOB-Kay Hian Ltd. in Hong Kong.
Benchmark oil for January delivery was up 51 cents at $94.04 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

RapidShare: It Ain't The Hosting, It's The Linking
from the quick,-look-over-there! dept
The latest thing, though, seems particularly silly. At a conference, the company's Chief Legal Officer, Daniel Raimer, appears to be throwing links sites under the bus by claiming that they're the real problem, and storage sites shouldn't be lumped in with linking sites.
The thing is, both kinds of sites have both legal and illegal purposes, and it's silly and counterproductive for one kind to blame the other kind. Storage sites have perfectly reasonable uses, and RapidShare has been bending over backwards to be a good player in that space. But a user-generated site that includes links to content also can have perfectly legitimate and legal uses, and it seems particularly silly to assume otherwise. From a legal standpoint, both kinds of sites should have reasonable protections against infringement (though that doesn't always appear to be true once things get to court). But, even then, storage sites probably even have less of a reasonable claim under copyright law, because actual copies (reproduction rights) and distribution could potentially be attributed to them (though, clearly, they have reasonable claims of safe harbors). With links sites, they neither store nor transmit the content, and it's difficult to see how they infringe on any of the key rights associated with copyright, even outside of the basic safe harbors.

Emporia State is host for 2016 Kansas Shrine BowlMarch 28, 2014
The city with one of the strongest connections to the Kansas Shrine Bowl will host the 43rd annual all-star football game and surrounding festivities in 2016. Jones Field at Welch Stadium on the campus of Emporia State University will be the site for the 2016 Kansas Shrine Bowl that features 68 of the top high school senior football players in the state of Kansas.
This will be the fifth time Welch Stadium has hosted the Shrine Bowl since 1998, making it the most frequent site of the game in that time. In addition to the game the East Shrine Bowl All-Stars have held their training camp on the Emporia State campus since the mid 1980's.
The Shrine Bowl Weekend is made up of more than just the football game. There will be a pregame banquet for over 1,100 people on Friday night at the Memorial Union, along with a parade through downtown Emporia, a two-mile open run and a high school combine on Saturday.
The Kansas Masonic All-State High School Marching Band Camp will be also be held on the Emporia State campus this year. Annually, a total of 180 to 250 of Kansas' best high school musicians are showcased in this event that is capped by the pre-game & halftime performance at the Shrine Bowl football game. The Band will also perform before the Shrine Bowl Banquet on Friday evening, and will lead the Shrine Bowl Parade down Commercial Street on Saturday morning.
The events are produced by the Kansas Shrine Bowl to bring attention to the state's fine young talents, and to benefit Shriner's Hospitals for Children. SHC is a health care system of 22 hospitals dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty care, innovative research, and outstanding teaching programs for medical professionals. Kansas children are treated in Shriner's Hospitals for Children regardless of the child's race, religion, nationality, creed, or relationship to a Shriner. Children up to the age of 18 are eligible for care and receive all services in a family-centered environment, regardless of the patients' ability to pay. Through 2013, over $2.5 million have been donated by the Shrine Bowl for the care and treatment of Kansas kids.

In between salvaging the old place in Jacksonville and feeling under the weather for a few days, I finally got all of the beadboard cleaned and we were ready to install it.
Last weekend, we completed the project, and I'm excited to share those photos with you.
Mark measured and cut the hundreds of pieces we needed.
What fun to see the first several pieces get installed.
By the way, I mentioned before that I was planning to use yellow AND brown sticks. Well, it turns out that we had enough yellow and antique white sticks so that's what we decided to use. There was enough brown at the ends of the yellow pieces. I definitely didn't want to cut that off.
We mixed and matched all of the different colors of light yellow and white beadboard that we had.
I wanted a random finished look.
See what I mean? I LOVE the variation.
When we designed and built our bookshelves, we specifically left ample room for one of Mark's framed photographs.
We couldn't decide if we wanted to install beadboard in that area or not, so we decided to wait until the very end to make that decision.
You can see how the bookshelves flank our laundry room. That room is functional, meaning that the washer and dryer work … but it has not been remodeled yet.
That's a project for another time.
The laundry room sign is vintage. I was told when I bought it that it was from an old general store in Austin.
Makes sense because there is an Avenue F in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
I only know this because we lived in Austin for years. Decades really.
On day two towards the end of the day, all we had needed to do was install the end pieces on each shelf.
Each of those had to be ripped down.
Fortunately, we own a really good tablesaw.
I'm so glad we bought that piece of woodworking equipment. It has paid for itself many times over.
The paintbrush?
We used it to sweep off sawdust from the shelves.
When it was time to clean up, our vacuum cleaner wouldn't turn on! No clue why.
But I found the owner's manual, and my handyman husband fiddled around with it and got the darn thing running again.
We were vacuuming at 8 pm.
Not something we typically do that time of night. But, we didn't want to wake up the next day looking at a mess to clean up.
We also hung Mark's print of Multnomah Falls, a wonderful remembrance of our vacation to Oregon.
After we hung the print, we stepped back and looked at it for awhile.
It was time to make a decision whether or not we were going to install beadboard in that area or not.
We decided not to.
We like it the way it is: a little different.
Anyway, I've got to say that I'm truly thrilled with how it turned out!
Next up: arranging books and decorating the shelves.
But that's another project … and another post for later on down the line.
I always look forward to reading your comments. Thank you for taking the time to leave one!

The release of the January jobs report next week may draw attention away from turmoil in emerging markets.
Continue Reading Below
Also on tap is the historic swearing in of Janet Yellen as the first woman to chair the U.S. Federal Reserve, and a handful of high-profile earnings reports from the likes of Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Merck (NYSE:MRK).
The jobs report, due out Friday, will be closely watched because it comes on the heels of a decidedly weak December report, when far fewer (74,000) jobs were created than had been forecasted (196,000) by economists.
The unemployment rate fell to 6.7% from 7% in the prior month, but the drop was in large part due to hundreds of thousands of people leaving the workforce.
The January report is expected to show 184,000 new jobs and the rate to hold steady at 6.7%
The December report has been dismissed by most analysts -- and the Federal Reserve -- as an anomaly caused by extreme weather across much of the country. If the January report is disappointing as well it will be harder to dismiss the earlier numbers and may force Fed policy makers to rethink their plan to gradually reduce economic stimulus.
On Wednesday the Fed announced plans to continue tapering its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion each month, conceding that labor indicators were "mixed" but generally healthy.
Yellen on Monday will replace Ben Bernanke at the helm of the most powerful central bank in the world. Having served for years as Bernanke's number two, she is not expected to stray far from Bernanke's accommodative policies. And she has indicated as much in Congressional testimony and interviews.
Also on tap for release next week are reports on construction spending, motor vehicle sales and the ISM Manufacturing Index on Monday; factory orders on Tuesday; and data on international trade and chain store sales on Thursday.
Earnings season is winding down, but a number of bellwether companies are reporting, including: Yum! Brands (NYSE:YUM) on Monday; Archer-Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM), Becton Dickinson (NYSE:BDX), CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), and Gannett (NYSE:GCI) on Tuesday; Allstate (NYSE:ALL), Merck, Nasdaq OMX Group (NASDAQ:NDAQ), Time Warner (NYSE:TWX), Twitter and Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) on Wednesday; and Aetna (NYSE:AET), Dunkin Brands (NASDAQ:DNKN), General Motors, LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD), News Corp. (NASDAQ:NWSA) and the New York Times (NYSE:NYT) on Thursday.

KALAMAZOO—Radio listeners across Michigan will be entertained by a Western Michigan University professor Saturday, Oct. 27, when she is featured on her own one-hour special on Michigan Radio.
In addition to being host and co-producer, Allison Downey, WMU associate professor of teaching, learning and educational studies, also will perform on "The Living Room," airing from 4 to 5 p.m. this Saturday and again from 3 to 4 p.m. Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22. The show will air in West Michigan at 104.1-FM, in the Ann Arbor-Detroit area at 91.7-FM and in the Flint area at 91.1-FM. People also may listen online and offer feedback by visiting michiganradio.org.
Downey spent the academic year 2010-11 in New York City conducting a comparative analysis of contemporary American storytelling formats for her sabbatical research, and ultimately took the stage as a storyteller. She was approached by Michigan Radio to develop a pilot radio program after her storytelling performance for The Moth Mainstage event in June 2011 at the Power Center in Ann Arbor.
"The Living Room"
Downey developed the concept for her one-hour pilot as a theme-based celebration of Michigan and Michiganders through story, song and poetry. She sought out storytellers, musicians, historians, museum curators and everyday people with exceptional stories as advisors and contributors to develop themes for multiple shows.
With the help of award-winning, multi-media producer Zak Rosen, Downey built the pilot episode around the theme of migration. The first segment features a humorous take on her own story of moving to Michigan and closes with her new, original song "In Michigan (Begin Again)." Rosen's work has aired on the BBC, National Public Radio and Public Radio International.
The next segment features a historical story about a free African American family's journey by foot from North Carolina to Covert, Mich., in the 1840s as told by a descendant and historian Anna-Lisa Cox, who recently presented a lecture on African American migration at WMU. The segment also celebrates the music of Joshua Davis of the band Steppin' In It.
"I am so grateful to Michigan Radio for this incredible opportunity and their vision in conceiving of and directing this project," Downey says. "I have been a Michigan Radio fan for the 10 years I've lived here, and it is a true honor to contribute to their high quality programming. I greatly appreciate the support from WMU in translating my sabbatical research into creative work."
In addition to being featured as a storyteller at festivals, conference and national events, including The Moth, Story Collider and The Liar Show, Downey is an accomplished singer-songwriter. As a professor, she leads workshops on creativity, storytelling and arts integration.
Michigan Radio is an award-winning National Public Radio affiliate with 500,000 listeners each week.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Yoy may already be a Submitter
If you haven't heard the word Submitter and do not know what it means, check this out. You might have been a Submitter all your life but have not realized you were one, God willing, until you read this article.
Who is a Submitter?
A Submitter can be defined as a person who submits to the will of God. The state of Submission, which can only take place between the person and God Almighty, is considered to be the only acceptable form of worship by God. Therefore, Submission is not just a name of a religion, rather it describes one's devotion to God alone. Submission is a religion whereby one recognizes God's absolute authority, and reaches a conviction that God alone possesses all power; no other entity possesses any power that is in-dependent of Him. The natural result of such a realization is to devote one's life and one's worship absolutely to God alone. This is the First Commandment in all the scriptures, including the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Final Testament (The Quran).
Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is One God!
Therefore you shall adore the Lord your God
with all your heart,
with all your soul,
with all your mind,
and with all your strength.
(Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Mark 12:29-30, Quran 3:18)
[Quran 2:62, 5:69] Surely, those who believe,
those who are Jewish, the Christians,
and the converts; anyone who
(1) believes in GOD, and
(2) believes in the Last Day, and
(3) leads a righteous life,
will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.

Nice! I've seen similar principles employed by some of the CSS frameworks, and this article is a good example of how you can build your own reusable grid system without the weight (or obfuscation) of a framework.
I know some of the methods are sometimes criticized for their lack of semantics, but I would argue that semantic markup is much more important for CONTENT than it is for LAYOUT. As long as the content within the layout is semantic, you'll get the benefits of semantic markup while still having a solid layout.

Tony Hawk has some massive ball bearings -- dude was not only brave enough to mount his skateboard and shred the checkered tile of a White House hallway, he took photos of the daring act and then posted them on his Twitter page.
Take a good look, because these could be the last photos of Tony you'll ever see.
