Vauen pipes
We began carrying Vauen pipes back in June, on the prospect that they would do well with smokers looking for quality machine-shaped pipes that sport 9-millimeter filters. Thankfully, people love them! Only recently did we get another large shipment and the variety of designs became instant topics for discussion around the office. While most of us had never tried to smoke a pipe with a filter, aside from the Dr.Grabow or 6-millimeter Savinelli triangular-balsa, this was worth investigating. Those of us that tried them out were initially worried about the seemingly-restricted draw due to the charcoal-filled paper filter, but less aggressive puffing actually yielded to a slower-burning bowl with subtly different flavors. Of course, these can also be smoked sans filter, or fit with a 9-millimeter adapter (typically made of delrin and drilled 5/32" through the center like a standard tenon - though we do not carry these, yet).
As mentioned, the range of shapes and finishes on these pieces are what really grabbed our attention. Few companies make 9-millimeter pipes, and they are nearly all noticeable by a bulge in the shank to fit the apparatus. With Vauen, the design plays off of larger, tapered stems that hide the filter like a rabbit in a magician's hat. For the shapes that are not perfectly-turned cylinders (poker), cones (dublin), pear, etc. (with acrylic bowl bases and stems which plug directly into the bowl, cob-style), the designs often feature military mounts. These are all true mortise and tenon pipes, but appear much like Peterson System pipes by separation of shank and stem design. For the bowls themselves, very elegant shapes are produced, including a ball sitting atop a column, a billiard with an elegant keel, and a rounded-off paneled brandy. It's exciting to see these pipes and we are confident that they will do very well. Have a look at them, and you might be surprised yourself!

Tonawanda News — The city moved to back the return of Weekends on Webster, a summer concert series held for the first time last summer, when the North Tonawanda Common Council approved a lease agreement with event organizers Tuesday.
"It's pretty much the same as what they did last year," said Shawn Nickerson, city attorney. "These are Saturday night concerts. I kind of look at this as being akin to holding a big block party and we allow folks around town to have block parties all year long."
The council also approved an agreement with Niagara River Cruises, a new venture launched by two Grand Island residents, which will offer boat rides from the Lumber City, Niagara Falls and likely the City of Tonawanda, though negotiations are still underway with the municipality.
The terms of the lease would allow the cruise company vessel to occupy at least 50 feet of docking space near the Sweeney Street train bridge, directly across from the Remington Tavern, at a cost of $1,200 for the summer season.
Both the concert series and the cruise lines were required to have a minimum $1 million insurance policy, as is common with lease agreements, Nickerson said.
"That's in line with what other people using city property do," Nickerson said.
 The concert series will be held adjacent to Crazy Jakes, though the cover band lineup has yet to be announced.
In other council news:
• The North Tonawanda Police Department was recognized by the council for its 125th anniversary, which is taking place this month. Dozens of officers and members of the department's honor guard were on hand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
• Winners of the city's annual Easter writing contest were named and presented certificates. While 125 students of the school district participated, the following were chosen receiving top honors: Jackson Chlebowy, Emily Barnes, Lauren Fisher, Will Marshall, Jaedon Zalewski, Paige Walsh, Seth Oviatt, Madeline Mahoney, Alaina Roberts, Harrison Roberts and Brittany Day.

I've been looking for a soft, puffy gingerbread recipe for years. I bake a lot and try pretty much every gingerbread recipe I can find. This was pretty good, but didn't stay soft once it cooled. It did puff up when it was in the oven, but flattened again before it finished baking. It tasted really good and it kept it's shape really well, so it's definitely a good recipe, just not the best. By the way, this is much easier to work with if you roll the dough between two sheets of wax paper, loosen the paper on both sides, and then cut out with cutters. This way, you don't need excess flour which can toughen the dough.
I don't know WHAT any of the negative reviews could possibly be about!!! I found this recipe on here about years ago and have made them EVERY year since. EVERYONE I bring them too loves them. They are not as "harsh" as a typical gingerbread cookie ... softer in texture and milder in taste. Yes, the dough can be a bit hard to roll out but it is WAY worth it for the YUMMIEST gingerbread cookie I've ever had!!!
I'm not the most experienced baker, but most things I try for the first time come out good. I followed this recipe to the exact detail and the dough was terribly hard to roll out. It crumbled apart the more you tried. My husband suggested adding a little water but I didn't want to ruin the recipe...so I put a chunk of the dough on my board, sprinkled a tiny bit of water, rolled it out, and then cut a heart cookie. I baked that one to test it, and while the taste itself wasn't bad, the texture was weird. I chilled the rest of the dough overnight thinking maybe the minimum 3 hours wasn't long enough, tried again this morning, and ran into even more difficulty. Granted, this was my first attempt at making gingerbread cookies, but I probably would have had better luck just following the recipe on the bottle of molasses! Sorry to be critical, but that was my experience. I should have read more of the reviews before putting the time and effort into this, since the majority seemed to run into the same problems I did.

June 19, 2001
DALLAS (SMU) -- The work of local botanical artists will be on display at Southern Methodist University in the Mildred Hawn Gallery at the Hamon Arts Library, 6100 Hillcrest Ave., from July 5 through Aug. 24. The work was produced as part of a series of classes on botanical art taught by SMU Informal Courses instructor Cynthia Padilla and is presented by SMU's Informal Courses for Adults program.
The genre of art known as "botanical" is a unique blend of art and science. Whether the purpose of the artist is chiefly art or chiefly science, the best works in the field always combine aesthetic appeal with an accuracy of detail that comes from close observation and objective rendering of the subject. The use of pictures to identify, analyze and classify plants dates back to classical times, when physicians depended on "herbals" -- an illustrated reference guide to medicinal plants.
In the scientific mode, botanical illustrations depict the overall habits of the plant, including a life-sized view of the entire plant, complete with the roots and drawings of the various parts of the plant -- flower, fruit and seed. Even in the non-technical mode, these conventions are followed, lending a distinctive aesthetic appeal.
Since the 1970s, botanical art has enjoyed a renewal of interest among both artists and collectors, accompanying an increased public interest in gardening and in environmental issues. The current revival of interest in botanical art is thought to reflect an overall desire for connection with the natural world in response to an increasingly high-tech culture.
Students in beginning and intermediate botanical art courses produced the work in this exhibit through the SMU's Informal Courses program, which offers a wide range of classes in the arts, including calligraphy, bookbinding, Zen painting, fashion illustration, landscape design and photography. For a catalog or further information about art and gardening classes, call (214) 768-5376 or visit the website at www.smu.edu/informal.
Regular operating hours of the Hamon Arts Library are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and until 10 p.m. on Thursdays when summer classes are in session. The Hamon Arts Library is closed Saturdays and Sundays during the summer.

The Lancaster County swim team upped its record to 2-0, dunking Camden 452-87 in summer swim league action Tuesday at the Lancaster County Pool.Jory Pettit led the LCST with four firsts in the individual competition.Gracie Scott, Coulter Jackson, Emily Durant, Chandler Hinson and Pagan Glenn each had three firsts. Jonah Faile, Ashley Abbott, Cody Brown, Tanner Knight, Kailee Glover and Marshall Jackson each had two firsts.The Sharks visit to Camden on Saturday for a 9 a.m. meet.
The Humane Society of Lancaster County now has an office.
And, no, the AFLAC duck in the window is not up for adoption.
The Humane Society has been working since late last year to establish a fostering and adoption program to reduce the number of dogs and cats euthanized at the Lancaster County Animal Shelter each month.
The Humane Society is hoping one day for the donation of land or money to build a low-kill shelter of its own, said Dawn Wagner, the society's publicity and fundraising director.
Until then, its central location is 126 S. Main St.
Toby Shute is glad that one particular junction in Lancaster now has a turning signal. Every day there was a disaster waiting to happen, he said.
The Lancaster resident said he dodged nearly 20 separate vehicle collisions while at the S.C. 9 Bypass and Clinton Avenue intersection. McDonald's, Hardee's and CVS pharmacy are at the intersection.
The city of Lancaster's wastewater treatment plant upgrade, a nearly $8 million project intended to improve the quality of treated water released into the Catawba River, is nearly complete.
The expected completion date is July 14. That's within the prescribed time frame, and the project is within budget, said Mack McDonald, wastewater treatment plant director.
The city has about $40,000 remaining in a contingency fund for change orders. McDonald said that's excellent for a $7.85 million project.
KERSHAW – A Nevada-based company has struck gold at the historic Haile Gold Mine in Kershaw.
The firm says the site has great potential to produce gold in the years to come.
"It is a darn good mine – a very good property," said Kenneth Brunk, chief operating officer of Romarco Minerals Inc., which has been drilling at the site, about three miles north of Kershaw, since December.
"This is a world-class gold mine. Don't let anyone tell you any different," Brunk said.
The city didn't get a permit to dump leaves at the old Lancaster Plant site, as it apparently did for about a year.
Frances Pittman, who lives on the south end of the once mighty Springs Industries plant, found the pile of leaves the city left on the site annoying. It smelled and was a haven for snakes and rats, she said.
Earlier this month, the pile stood about 25 feet tall and stretched about 50 yards. A stench also pervaded the pile's surroundings.
But that was a good day, said Pittman's caretaker, Tim Steele.
The state of South Carolina recently proposed to produce for sale through the DMV vehicle license plates depicting a Christian symbol and the words "I believe." It was immediately criticized and attacked by atheists for violation of the "separation of church and state" provision. These attackers fall into the same category as the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 because we do not believe as they do; as a matter of fact, the terrorists at least profess a belief in a supreme being.
It took about 45 minutes Wednesday to convince Keith Deese that Lancaster County needs a new courthouse.
Deese is a member of the county's capital projects sales tax committee.
The committee is charged with developing a ballot question for a proposed bond referendum in which voters will decide whether to approve a 1 penny sales tax to fund a new courthouse and possibly other county building projects.
Lately the topic has come up in church about people making racial comments and slurs. The very people making these comments about different races are the same people who hold positions in our church.eeee
They influence young children, teens and other adults. Since racism is so prevalent around here, I don't think they realize how what they say is affecting the Christian religion.eeee

The Berlin Freshman Redcoats improve their record to 4-2 with an impressive 42-6 victory yesterday at Scalise Field.
Berlin's ground game was relentless as usual with Jake Loiselle and Shane Nelson accounting for three of the teams six touchdowns.
The Redcoats mixed things up a bit and connected on two touchdown passes as well.
In the first half Garrett Guite found Alex Ladas alone in the end zone for six points while Alan Guild took the reigns on offense in the second half and connected with Cote Libby for his first touchdown of the season.
Once again the Redcoat Defense was ruthless with #86 Nick Cardello coming up big for Berlin along with the entire defensive line causing havoc for Rockville all day allowing only a single first down in each half.
The lone Rockville score came on a kick return.

Crepe Companion 3-Piece Set 59 59
I didn't like the fabric and have sent it back for a refund. July 23, 2014
Crepe Suite The material is old looking. The picture of what you ordered and then what you take out of the package is not the same. The pants were very large. July 16, 2014
Just what I need quite often! This is wonderful! I like the slimming effect of wearing the matching top and pants with various jackets, as well as the matching jacket. Most adaptable for many occasions. July 8, 2014
Not as lightweight as I had hoped for summer wear so I returned it, but it fit well and the workmanship looked good. Taupe was a nice warm neutral color. June 19, 2014
sizes The fit was great except for the in seam length on the pants. It was longer than the advertised 30 inches. June 2, 2014
Comfortable Travel Outfit This 3 piece set traveled beautifully. It was also very comfortable. June 1, 2014
Great suit, but sleeves too short. I was looking forward to taking this suit on a recent trip, however it did not arrive in time. But the fabric is lovely, the pants a good length in the PM 28" inseam, however the sleeves were way too short in the jacket, so will have to exchange and get a Medium instead. I think it would be a good idea to put the sleeve length in with the measurements when purchasing jackets. Otherwise, it's a beautiful set. May 19, 2014
Pants Set-Great I purchased this pant set for a recent trip to Italy. The size and fit were perfect. I often have difficulty purchasing pants, but these fit perfectly. It packed well, taking little space in the suitcase, and arriving without a wrinkle. The pieces are very versatile, mixing well with other items I took on the trip. The fabric drapes nicely. The set can be casual or dressed up with accessories. The only thing that I would change is to add pockets to the pants and jacket. I got compliments from fellow travelers-- you will too!

For the Times West Virginian
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of West Virginia University's stirring come-from-behind overtime victory on the road at TCU on Saturday afternoon.
The Mountaineers' season, as well as perhaps the shape of the future, was at stake as they fell behind, 17-3, staring a fourth consecutive loss in the eyes to take into this Saturday night's home game against a surging Texas team that is carrying a winning streak forward and dreaming of finding a conference championship.
To rally, grabbing the lead only to spit it up and force overtime truly tested not only the heart but the soul of this Mountaineer team, a squad that had a troubled head coach in Dana Holgorsen, whose main support was found in athletic director Oliver Luck, who some say may be named the new athletic director at Texas before the day is up — or at least before the month is up.
Three things came to WVU's rescue in this game, not the least of which was luck — not the athletic director Luck, but the lower case kind that allowed a number of interceptions thrown by quarterback Clint Trickett to be either erased by penalty or plays that got them back into the game.
Had matters gone TCU's way, this might have been a rout, but one of Trickett's interceptions that had been run back for a touchdown was called back due to a penalty by star defensive back Jason Verrett, another was openly dropped and a third play that gave TCU the football on the WVU 2 was fumbled away on the first play by sometimes QB, sometimes WR Trevone Boykin.
All of that allowed the Mountaineers' efforts to simply give away the game and the season to turn into a thrilling overtime victory, much of it set up by the play of running back Charles Sims, who had his finest game of the season with 154 rushing yards and a touchdown dash of 31 yards and a TD reception of 13 yards.
But, in truth, it came down to the Mountaineer defense, which had been knocked around in the early going as TCU took a 17-3 lead, to take charge of the game and save the season.
"We didn't give up," is the way senior nose guard Shaq Rowell put it. "We talked about it all week. No disrespect to the offense, but we knew TCU had one of the best, if not the best, defenses in the Big 12."
It was up to them to match that TCU defense, to figure out a way to change the tone of the game, to get the ball back as often as it was given away.
"The defense took upon ourselves to get four turnovers this week. We got four," said Rowell. "As a team, we did what we had to do today, and that was the bottom line. It is what it is. We needed 30; we scored 30."
The WVU defense had much going for it. The safeties, Darwin Cook and Karl Joseph, kept pushing matters.
Cook, who has come all year and is becoming a tackling power, finished the game with 14 tackles, a recovered fumble and very nearly an intercepted pass that he juggled before dropping.
Joseph was right behind him with nine tackles and broke up a pass, but the defense was everywhere, slipping only when TCU quarterback Casey Pachall shook off a tremendous beating he was taking to bring the Horned Frogs from behind to force overtime.
He finished with 394 passing yards and three touchdowns but there was also a pair of interceptions, two sacks and about a dozen nearly sacks that sent him bouncing off the ground.
But, in the end, when TCU got the ball to open overtime, it was the defensive line that overpowered the TCU offense.
"Like Coach (Erik) Slaughter says, no one plays harder than the D-line," Rowell said. "We believe in it. We have believed in it the whole year, but today we took it personal. Nobody plays harder than us. We played harder than TCU from the first half to the last half, and that's what it takes for us to win."
Indeed, the D-line overwhelmed TCU in overtime, beginning with Kyle Rose breaking through to throw Waymon James for a 6-yard loss on the first play, and a dead ball foul following a 1-yard gain on the second play sent the ball back to the 45.
Right then the game was over ... although it took an incomplete pass and a missed 62-yard field goal attempt to put WVU in position to win on Josh Lambert's 35-yard field goal.
"I went out there, picked my target as high up as I could get. I focused on making the kick. I kept my eyes down and finished my leg swing," Lambert explained. "We needed the victory. Hopefully we can turn this win into a few more."

Times West Virginian
It has been an interesting week if your name is Oliver Luck and you are athletic director at West Virginia University.
To begin with Luck's name came up as a prospective candidate for the University of Texas athletic director's job, perhaps the premier AD job in the country, and the Stanford job.
Much points to the connection, including Luck's time spent in Houston, Texas, managing a professional soccer franchise and building a stadium, his time running NFL Europe, his wife's Texas roots and his knowledge now of the Big 12.
Luck did not deny that any interest could be shown. On his portion of the pregame show before the WVU-Baylor game on Saturday night Luck refused comment.
"My name gets kicked around for all sorts of jobs," Luck said, "and I have decided not to comment at all on job opportunities."
A story appeared late this week in the Charleston Gazette quoting school President Jim Clements that he had talked with Luck about his plans and Luck had assured him he was staying.
"I sat down with Oliver," Clements told the Gazette. "I told him I need to know because I've been getting inquiries, calls and texts, and he said, 'Jim, I love it here; I'm a Mountaineer; I'm staying.'"
That would seem to put such rumors to rest, but Luck's refusal to talk about the situation and the fact that Texas can offer Luck a far more lucrative package than WVU can put together says this is not over yet.
It probably wasn't accidental, either, that it leaked out this week that Luck is being named to the committee that will pick the four teams in the college football playoffs to create a national championship and also name the teams to play in the other major bowl games.
Among others leaked out as members of the committee are Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Football Hall of Famer Archie Manning, the one-time Ole Miss quarterback and father of Peyton and Eli Manning.
The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the committee has not been announced, also confirmed the following members: Wisconsin athletics director Barry Alvarez, USC athletics director Pat Haden, Arkansas athletics director Jeff Long, Luck and Clemson athletics director Dan Radakovich in addition to Rice, former Ole Miss and NFL quarterback Manning, former NCAA Executive Vice President Tom Jernstedt and former Big East Commissioner Mike Tranghese as at-large selections.
Luck would also not confirm this, but was willing to talk on his radio show about the function of the committee.
"It's much like basketball or other sports," he said. "The selection committee will determine the final four teams. It will be an improvement over the BCS. Many think four teams isn't enough, that it should be eight or even 16 teams."
Either way it's a tough job in most seasons and is sure to spur a great deal of controversy.
• WVU was far from healthy for the Baylor game.
Top linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury, as did running back Dustin Garrison.
Wide receiver Ivan McCartney missed the game with what was said to be a head injury, Kevin White filling in as the starter for him.
Adam Pankey is healthy enough to now be listed as the backup left tackle behind Nick Kindler, who has to feel his hot breath on his back.
• The WVU coaches have been piling praise upon true freshman Daryl Worley all year, and he has done nothing to prove them wrong.
This includes coming up with an interception at the WVU 8. It was the first pick Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty had thrown all season on his 84th pass of the year.
• Don't want to say Baylor's offense hits you like a sledgehammer, but WVU was thinking its defense had really improved a lot. They had held opponents to 309, 435, 220, 330 and 433 yards before Baylor gained 369 yards on them.
And then they started the second quarter!
• WVU safety Darwin Cook was the first Mountaineer hit with a targeting penalty after a hit on the sideline, which brings automatic ejection. However, after a replay review it was ruled that he was not guilty of targeting.
The penalty stands in that case but the ejection was overruled.
• Baylor's Demetri Goodson, whose season ended last year when he broke his arm against WVU, broke WVU's heart in the second half with an interception. Goodson was born in Charleston.

For The Daily Item
ALMEDIA -- It was a tale of two halves in the nightcap game of the District 4 Class A playoffs at Blue Jays Stadium at Central Columbia High School, as seventh-seed Benton advanced to the second round with a 2-1 overtime victory over Southern Columbia.
Southern, the No. 10 seed, had lost its two previous games to Benton. The Tigers (9-10) took a 1-0 lead off of a corner shot when Jacob Trathen deflected the corner kick from Seth Joseph to the far post in the 21st minute of the first half.
Benton (14-5) wasted little time to tie the game, scoring nearly 10 minutes later. Ben Pasukinis booted the ball in with his right foot just past the far post on a pass from Chase Brooker as the first half ended in a one-all tie.
The game remained tied through regulation as both teams has chances during the second half to win the game as they combined for 19 shots overall.
Southern had a chance to take a 2-1 lead when Tyler Keiser's shot just missed going under the crossbar off a corner kick.
In the overtime, Benton -- which was outplayed in the first half of regulation -- picked up the tempo and controlled the game from the second half on. Benton had a corner kick that glanced off Robert Rose before being knocked into the goal by a Southern player for the game-ending score.
"The kids worked hard all week and they played well," Southern head coach Dave Hall said. "We match up well against Benton and they guys play well against then. The turf was a little slick late in the game and coming from grass, I thought our kids did a great job with their ball control and they adapted to the conditions very well."
Benton advances to the District 4 Class A quarterfinals on Saturday at a time and place to be determined and faces Sayre, who beat No. 15-seeded Line Mountain on Tuesday.

Gyms are not the sort of place where you expect people to be
contemplating the blue Mediterranean Sea, medieval Italian villages,
or the mysterious Grand Canal in Venice – but that's what patrons of
San Marino's new Mission Fitness Center can focus on during squats,
curls, and lunges.
The theme of exotic travel permeates the gym because of the huge,
colorful photographs by San Marino resident Himanshu Wickramasinghe,
M.D., hung on the walls.
The San Marino resident is a board-certified pulmonologist and
critical care physician at the Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital in
Santa Clarita. He is also an accomplished amateur travel
A reception with the artist will be held on September 22-Sat. 3-5pm
at the Mission Fitness Center, which is located at 2451 Mission Street
in San Marino.
The photographs displayed at the gym include an extraordinary view of
the Alhambra (the palace, not the town) at sunset, under a fiery
roiling sky; a view of the blue Mediterranean from an ancient, worn,
gateway; night scenes from the Grand Canal in Venice; and more.
Wickramasinghe's passion for photography began during his childhood in
Sri Lanka, when he began photographing flowers and landscapes. "I just
have always enjoyed photography," he says. "And my wife Kumari and I
like to travel a lot, as do my children." Their children are daughter
Induni, a graduate of Flintridge Prep in La Canada, and son Yuvan, a
junior at SMHS.
Up to now, Wickramasinghe says, only family and friends saw his
photographs. "They kept telling me, 'You need to enlarge them, you
need to show them,' but I never got around to doing it."
Then, he started working out at the new Mission Fitness Center. The
center's cofounder, Wendy Grace, asked him if he'd be willing to put
his work on display in the gym. "She had this idea that they should
display art made by people in the community." He agreed to do it. "It
makes me feel great; it's nice to know someone is appreciating your
work," he says.
One of Wickramasinghe's specialties is high dynamic range (HDR)
photography, which gives his images a painterly look. "With a regular
photograph, it's hard for the camera to capture the whole range of
dark and light; if you expose for the sky, things in the shadows won't
be well-represented; if you expose for the darker areas, the sky will
be blown out. This has always been a limitation in standard
photography. In HDR we take pictures of the same scene at different
exposures, so we can expose for light AND shadowy areas. It takes 3 to
5 exposures. We put those images into software which matches them
exactly, and we can work on it to get the colors right and the entire
range of lightness and darkness captured very, very well. It really
looks like a painting." He uses the programs Lightroom and Photomatix
to combine and adjust his images.
At the moment, Wickramasinghe doesn't know where he and his family
will go on their next foreign trip. In photography, his next frontier
is portraits of people. "I've been a little intimidated about doing
that, and I think it's time."
He notes that he has many more pictures that he hasn't gotten around
to printing. "If people think they're good enough, I might do another
exhibit, for charity," he muses. In the meantime, he has a busy life;
along with medicine, travel photography, and working out, he plays
keyboard with a local Sri Lankan pop music band.
There is no charge to view the exhibit at the Mission Fitness Center.
Except for the exercise equipment, the space even looks like a
gallery, with whitewashed brick walls, huge picture windows, and a
high exposed ceiling. The gym is open Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m.
to 10 p.m., Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 6 a.m. to 3
p.m. Wikramasinghe's photos will be on display through October 20th,
and framed prints are available for sale.
For more information, go to missionfitnesscenter.com, call
626-799-0977, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wickramasinghe has beautiful travel photographs on display at the new
Mission Fitness Center on Mission Street in San Marino. The gym owners
hope to have more displays by local artists.

POSTED: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 --- 7:25 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has filed a legal challenge to the state law that subjects doctors who perform medication-induced abortions to possible criminal charges.
Planned Parenthood stopped offering the medication abortions when the law took effect in April. The organization continues to offer surgical abortions at its clinics in Madison, Appleton and Milwaukee.
The law requires doctors and patients to take a series of steps before a woman can receive the medication abortion, including verification that the patient is having the procedure voluntarily.
The State Journal says Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, the state's district attorneys and the Medical Examining Board are listed as defendants. Van Hollen spokeswoman Dana Brueck says the Department of Justice will review the lawsuit and respond accordingly.

Springfield, Mass. - March 2, 2010 - AJ Nally posted 19 kills at a .400 clip to go along with nine digs and five blocks to lead the Springfield College men's volleyball team past visiting Sacred Heart in three games on Tuesday evening. The Pride swept the match by the scores of 30-22, 30-26, 30-24.
Springfield, which is ranked third in the country in Division III, improves to 10-6 on the year, while the Pioneers drop to 9-7.
Nally continued his terrific play of late as he was the lone member of the Pride to notch double digit kills in the victory. Eight different players recorded kills in the match for the Pride, including Greg Falcone who notched seven kills while hitting .500. The trio of Mike Pelletier, Alberto Bravo, and Alistair Matthews all recorded five kills as well. Nally's nine digs were a team-high, while both Pelletier and Alex Harrison chipped in with seven digs of their own.
Springfield's block was dominant in the match as it finished with 17.5 team blocks, compared to just 4.0 by the visitors. Cal Palumbo finished with a match-high nine blocks, while both Falcone and Eric Shoemaker tallied seven stuffs. Shoemaker directed the offense on the evening with 40 assists and added six digs.
Nick Hunt led Sacred Heart with 10 kills out of the middle, hitting .353 in the process. Craig Harvey, Roger Parent, and Kalani Efstahiou each registered nine kills of their own. Parent totaled a team-best nine digs with Scott Grandpre adding eight as SHU's libero. Tim Sadowski ended with a match-high 42 assists and a team-high three blocks.
Springfield finished the night hitting .327 as a team, while the Pioneers could only muster a .156 attacking percentage, much in part to Springfield's block.
After a back-and-forth start in the opening set, an Efstathiou kill put the visitors up early at 12-10. Springfield responded with the next five points, including a triple block by Shoemaker, Palumbo, and Nally, to force a Pioneer timeout and gain a 15-10 lead. Back-to-back kills made it a 15-14 game, but Nally then pounded home a kill to give Springfield a two-point cushion that would balloon to as many as eight in the frame. Palumbo posted five blocks in the opening game, while Nally led the way with six kills and four blocks.
SC poured on the pressure to start the second game as a Matthews service ace capped off a quick 6-2 spurt to open the set. The Pride didn't let up as a Falcone kill gave the hosts a 15-7 advantage, only to have the visitors get within three, 21-18, after a Springfield attack error. Kills from Nally and Bravo coupled with a pair of Pioneer attack errors rebuilt the Pride's lead to five at 24-19, and SC went on to take the second game by a 30-26 count. Nally poured in seven kills on 12 swings in the second frame for SC's attack.
The Pride found themselves trailing 12-8 in the third after Hunt and Sawoski teammed up for a double block, forcing Charlie Sullivan to call a timeout. Out of the timeout, SC rattled of a 9-3 run, punctuated by a double block from Falcone and Bravo, to gain a 17-15 lead. Several plays later, a Springfield service error tied the game at 19, but the Pioneers then served a ball into the net and Nally tacked on yet another kill, giving SC a 21-19 advantage. A Parent kill brought SHU within one, but that would be as close as the Pioneers would get as the Pride ended the match on a 9-4 run, with Falcone ending the evening with his seventh kill.
The Pride will next suit up on Friday evening in a critical matchup against rival and top-ranked Juniata College. First serve is scheduled for 7:00 pm.

Ashlea Ebeling, Forbes Staff
I write about how to build, manage and enjoy your family's wealth.
Add a new steel front door to your house and you'll likely recoup the investment if you have to sell. But what about a solar power system?
A group of California economists looked at that question in a recent study and found that on average, homeowners in California who install photovoltaic solar panels to power their homes can recover nearly all the investment costs if they move–and that's on top of the annual energy savings.
And if they live in a liberal community (with more registered Green Party members and Toyota Priuses) there's an even greater payback.
The economists looked at utility data, sales records of single family homes and building permit data in San Diego County and Sacramento County from 2003 through year-end 2010. The study, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, titled "Understanding the Solar Home Price Premium: Electricity Generation and 'Green' Social Status," is available here.
For the average installation, the authors found that solar panels added a $20,194 premium to the sales price of the house based on repeat sales data (houses were in the mid-$500,000 range). Solar is really expensive to install—the average total system cost is $35,967, but the effective price to homeowners with subsidies including the federal tax credit is $20,892. Thus, homeowners appear to recover approximately 97% of their investment costs – in addition to the savings associated with reduced energy bills.
By contrast, a luxury kitchen remodel brings a 60% payback, according to Hanley Wood's 2010-2011 Cost v. Value report. A new steel front door brings a 102% payback. For the Hanley Wood report, click here. Of course it depends on your personality as to whether you get more enjoyment out of ushering guests through a steel door, showing off new granite countertops, or leading a tour of the mechanical guts of a photovoltaic system.
The solar study has big implications for state and federal policy. "Are subsidies necessary if the value is already there?" asks Joshua Graff Zivin, one of the co-authors and an economist at the University of California, San Diego. "It doesn't mean there is no role, but we don't see the government in the business of subsidizing people to remodel their kitchens," he says.
In addition, the professors looked at the solar consumer–what types of people live in solar homes. Don't look for solar installations in small homes in poor minority neighborhoods. Instead, neighborhoods where solar panels have been installed are richer, whiter, more educated, have more registered Democrats, and have larger homes, the study found.
When everyone in the household is a registered liberal and the household contributes to environmental causes, the probability of being in a solar home increases even more. Despite the fact that true environmentalists should be minimizing their footprint, homes with solar are bigger, have more bedrooms and bathrooms and are more likely to have a view and a pool.
Why should the "green" neighborhoods with high levels of Prius penetration have a solar premium while neighborhoods with a large share of trucks don't? "In the same way as driving a Prius, with solar panels, you're advertising that you're green and virtuous," Graff Zivin says.
Ms. Ebeling,
This is an especially compelling overview of an absolutely critical sector that continually gets bashed by those who actually wish it best, but have no solid data to base their moribund conclusions upon. I am really glad that you have put this in the context that you did and will tell everyone I know to read your piece.
When weighing the difference between an FHA-insured loan and a conventional mortgage, homeowners should also consider the future of home prices and mortgage rates, check the "123 Refinance" page for more
I would disagree with Joshua Zivin's analysis on the implications of his study for state and federal policy regarding solar subsidies. As the article reflects, the average cost of solar without subsidies is $35,967 and with subsidies is $20,892. The removal of subsidies would, therefore, increase the price to the potential solar adopter by more than $15,000. This upfront cost increase would significantly depress the solar marketplace when the economic purpose of subsidies is to expand the industry and all the economic activity the industry brings with it.
Mr. Zivin's comment that "we don't see the government in the business of subsidizing people to remodel their kitchen," ignores the policy behind solar subsidies. Kitchen counters do not reduce emissions of green house gases, mercury, and other pollutants. Nor do such counters lower the incidents of asthma and other health effects related to fossil fuel pollution. Greater implementation of solar means fewer mountain tops blasted away. Solar is subsidized because solar contributes to a healthier society and environment. Remodeling kitchens makes no such contribution.
I installed Solar Panels On Home of mine 2 years ago and it does save you a lot of money and the installation was done by my husband and I : )
It was basically a DIY ( Do It Yourself ) Project that came through and now we are currently spending our money ( that we would normally use on electric bills ) on renovating our house.

"As a literature teacher, I'm marking the Easter season in one way I know how: assigning books that are suited to the season. This week we're reading that lyrical, enormously uplifting work of Charles Péguy, The Portal of the Mystery of Hope. A gifted poet, Péguy lived among the poor, defended the innocent Dreyfus, embraced and then saw through socialism, and finally was led by his love for St. Joan of Arc to renew his childhood faith before he died in one of the very first battles of World War I. But in his 40 years he penned some of the greatest Catholic books of the 20th century, and this is one of them. It focuses on what Péguy calls the most neglected theological virtue: "the little girl, Hope." His earthy, mystical lyrics depict Hope as a playful, energetic, eight- or nine-year-old child, beside whom Faith and Charity are weary middle-aged moms, who draw the energy to keep on moving from the innocent glee of the girl who tugs them forward by the hand."
John Zmirak in Crisis Magazine
"Péguy, who was certainly not a theologian given to compartmentalizing, had brought his insights, once achieved, to completion in a breakthrough to a comprehensive theology of hope — by means of patient contemplation of the one reality that is at once natural and supernatural, by an unceasing process of approfondissement and assimilation. And this theology of hope makes its presence felt today, gently but irresistibly, by a structural shift in the whole theological edifice…
So the whole of Péguy's art and theology flow more and more towards prayer without one ever being able to say precisely whether this prayer is dialogue or a monologue on God's part. It is a dialogue with God but one which is constantly developing into a monologue of God the Father, addressed without distinction to his Son, to the men he has created and to himself. It is a form of "theology as Trinitarian conversation," never realized prior to Péguy, which could only be risked by a poet using a simple and popular style of utterance that avoids any show of sublimity and yet does not for a moment degenerate into "mateyness" and false familiarity. Only faith in the Holy Spirit can allow God to speak in such a way."
Hans Urs von Balthasar
Look at the little one, says God, how she marches.
She would skip rope in the procession
She marches, she moves ahead by skipping a rope, for a bet.
She's so happy
(Alone among them all)
And she's so sure that she'll never get tired.
Children walk exactly like little puppies.
(Moreover, they play like puppies too)
When a puppy goes for a walk with his masters
He comes and he goes. He comes back, he leaves again. He goes ahead, he returns.
He makes the trip twenty times.
Covers twenty times the distance.
It's because as a matter of fact he's not going somewhere.
His masters are the ones who are going somewhere.
He's not going anywhere at all.
What he's interested in is precisely making the trip.
Likewise with children.
When you make a trip with your children,
When you run an errand
Or when you go to Mass or to Vespers with your children,
Or to say the rosary
Or between Mass and Vespers when you take a walk with your children.
They trot along in front of you like little puppies.
They run ahead, they lag behind.
They come and they go. They play around.
They jump, They make the trip twenty times.
It's because as a matter of fact they're not going somewhere.
They're not interested in going somewhere.
They're not going anywhere at all.
The grown-ups are the ones who are going somewhere
The grown-ups, Faith, Charity.
The parents are the ones who are going somewhere.
To Mass, to Vespers, to say the rosary.
To the river, to the forest.
To the fields, to the woods, to work.
Who do their best, who strain themselves in order to get somewhere
Or even to go somewhere to go for a walk.
But the children are only interested in making the trip.
To come and to go and to jump. To wear out the road with their legs
Never to have enough of it. And to feel their legs growing.
They drink up the road. They thirst for the road. They never have enough of it
They're stronger than the road. They're stronger than fatigue.
They never have enough of it (just like hope). They run faster than the road.
They don't go, they don't run in order to get there. They get there in order to run. They get there in order to go. Just like hope. They don't spare their steps. The idea doesn't even occur to them
To spare anything at all.
It's the grown-ups who are sparing as they're forced to be. But the child Hope
Never spares anything
It's the parents who are sparing. Unhappy virtue, alas, that they should have to make a virtue of it.
They're forced to. As strong as my daughter Faith is,
Solid as a rock, she's forced to be sparing.
As ardent as my daughter Charity is,
Burning like a fine wood fire
That warms the poor man by the fireplace
The poor man and the child and the starving man,
She's forced to be sparing.
Only the child Hope
Is she alone who never spares anything.
She doesn't spare her steps, the little devil, she doesn't spare ours.
Just as she doesn't spare the flowers and the leaves in the grand Processions,
And the roses of France and the beautiful Lilies of France
With the undrooping collars,
So in the little, in the long procession, in the hard procession of life she doesn't spare anything
Neither her steps nor ours.
In the ordinary, in the gray, in the common procession
(Because it's not every day that you have Corpus Christi.)
She doesn't spare her steps, and since she treats us like herself
She doesn't spare ours either.
She doesn't spare herself; and likewise, she doesn't spare others either.
She makes us start the same thing over twenty times.
She makes us return twenty times to the same place.
Which is generally a place of disappointment
(Earthly disappointment.)
It doesn't matter to her. She's like a child. She is a child.
It doesn't matter to her to take the grown-ups for a ride."
Earthly wisdom is none of her business.
She doesn't calculate like we do.
She calculates, or rather she doesn't calculate, she counts (without noticing) like a child.
Like someone who has her whole life in front of her.
It doesn't matter to her to take us for a ride.
She believes, she expects us to be like her.
She doesn't spare our sufferings. And our trials. She thinks
That we have our whole lives ahead of us.
How she deceives herself. How right she is
For don't we indeed have our whole Life ahead of us.
The only one that matters. Our whole Eternal life.
And doesn't the old man have as much life ahead of him as the baby in tin' crib.
If not more. Because for the baby in the crib the eternal Life,
The only one that matters, is hidden by this miserable life
That he has in front of him. First. It's in front. By this miserable life on earth.
He has to endure, he has to go through this whole miserable life on earth
Before he can get to, before he can reach, before he can attain the Life
Which is the only life that matters. The old man is lucky.
He has wisely left behind this miserable life
Which had hidden the eternal Life from him
And now he is free. He has put behind him what was before.
He sees clearly. He's full of life. There's no longer anything between him and life.
He's standing on the edge of the light.
He's on the shore itself. He's at the limit. He's on the brink of etenial life.
We are right in saying that old men are wise.
Just as the child is right to think
That we are like her.
That we have our whole life ahead of us.
That we have it as much as she does. That it matters for her
To make us make the trip twenty times.
She's right. What matters
(And to make us return twenty times to the same place
Which is generally a place of disappointment
Of earthly disappointment) what matters
Is not to go here or there, is not to go someplace
To arrive someplace
Some earthly place.
What matters is to go, always to go, and (on the contrary) not to arrive.
What matters is to go simply in the simple procession of ordinary days,
The great procession toward salvation. The days pass in procession
And we pass in procession through the days. What's important
Is the going. To keep going. That's what matters. And how you go.
It's the road you travel. It's the traveling itself.
And how you do it.
You make twenty times the same trip on earth.
To come to an end twenty times.
And twenty times you end up, you come to, you attain
With difficulty, with much effort, with much straining,
The point of disappointment.
Of earthly disappointment.
And you say: This little Hope has tricked me again.
I never should've trusted her. It's the twentieth time that she's tricked me.
Earthly wisdom is not her strong point.
I will never believe her again. (You will believe her again, you will always believe her).
I'll never get taken in again. — Fools that you are.
What does it matter the place you wanted to go to.
Where you thought you were going.
Come on now; you're not children, you know perfectly well
That the place you were going to would be a disappointment.
An Earthly disappointment. It was already disappointing beforehand. So why did you want to go there. Because you understand very well the game of this little Hope.
Why do you always follow this child of disappointment.
Why do you get yourself involved in this little one's game.
All the time, and the twentieth time more firstly than the first.
Why do you go along of your own accord.
All the time, and the twentieth time more readily than the first.
It's because in your heart you know very well what she is.
And what she does. And that she fools us.
Twenty times.
Because she is the only one who does not fool us.
And does not disappoint us
Twenty times
All through life
Because she is the only one who does not disappoint us
For Life.
And it's thus that she is the only one who does not disappoint us. Because those twenty times that she makes us take the same trip
On earth, according to human wisdom, those are twenty times of increasing difficulty
Of repetition, of the same thing
Twenty times in vain, right on top of each other
Because they all went by the same road
To the same place, because it was the same route.
But for God's wisdom
Nothing is ever nothing. All is new. All is other.
All is different.
In God's sight nothing repeats itself.
Those twenty times that she made us take the same trip to get to the same point
Of futility
From the human perspective it's the same point, the same trip, the same twenty times.
But that's the deception.
That's the false calculation and the false reckoning.
Being the human reckoning.
And this is why it doesn't disappoint: Those twenty times are not the same. If those twenty times are twenty times of trial(s) and if the route is a path to sanctity
Then along the same path the second time doubles the first
And the third time triples it and the twentieth time multiplies it twenty fold.
What does it matter to arrive here or there, and always at the same place
Which is a place of (earthly) disappointment.
What matters is the path, and which path you take, and what you do on it
How you take it.
It's the trip alone that matters.
If the path is a path to sanctity
In God's sight, a path of trials
He who takes it twice is twice as holy
In God's sight, and he who takes it three times
Is three times as holy, and he who takes it
Twenty times, twenty times more holy. That's how God reckons.
That's how God sees things.
The same path is not the same the second time around.
Every day you say, all your days are alike
On earth all days are the same.
Departing from the same mornings they convey you to the same evenings.
But they do not lead you to the same eternal evenings.
Every day, you say, looks the same — Yes, every earthly day.
But have no fear, my children, they do not at all look like
The last day, which is different from every other.
Every day, you say, repeats itself. — No, they are added
To the eternal treasury of days.
The bread of each day to that of the day before.
The suffering of each day
(Even though it repeats the suffering of the day before)
Is added to the eternal treasury of sorrows
The prayer of each day
(Even though it repeats the prayer of the day before)
Is added to the eternal treasury of prayers. of each day
(Even though it repeats the merit of the day before)
Is added to the eternal treasury of merits.
On earth everything repeats itself. In the same matter.
But in heaven everything counts
And everything increases. The grace of each day
(Even though it repeats the grace of the day before)
Is added to the eternal treasury of graces. And it's for this that the young
Alone doesn't spare anything.

Dexter Episode 802
"Every Silver Lining..."
Written By: Manny Coto
Directed By: Michael C. Hall
Original Airdate: 7 July 2013
In This Episode...
Dr. Vogel gave expert testimony in one of Harry's cases. He knew she specialized in child psychopaths, and was at his wit's end with Dexter, so he went to her for help. Vogel never met Dexter (Harry didn't want Dexter to think he was sick) but she helped "create" Dexter. She knew he would become a killer, and when small animals weren't enough to sate his homicidal urges, she and Harry created The Code. She didn't turn him in because he "got under her skin." Vogel came to care for Dexter, even considering herself his "spiritual mother."
Vogel tells Dexter all of this because now she feels the need to call in a favor. The chunk of brain that had been removed from last week's victim turned up on Vogel's doorstep, and she thinks one of her former patients may be responsible. She can't go to the police because Dexter wasn't the first psychopath she treated in an "unorthodox" manner - what some might consider illegal. Dexter doesn't take requests, but she sends him home with some DVDs of her sessions with Harry, in hopes that Dexter will change his mind.
A new victim of the Brain Surgeon shows up (as dubbed by Masuka). This one has been asphyxiated, not shot, and laid out on display in a skate park. His head is again sliced open, the same chunk of brain removed. Like at the previous crime scene, the murder weapon - a plastic bag - is nearby, tied to a post. Vogel shows up at the crime scene, and tells Dexter she got this guy's brain segment as well. She goes with him back to the lab, where he is running an ID on prints he pulled off the plastic bag. He gets a match - Lyle Sussman. Vogel never treated a Lyle Sussman. Dexter goes to Sussman's house where it looks like he hasn't been in a while. He finds evidence that Lyle owns a hunting cabin, but before he can go, he is buzzed for another crime scene.
Deb, meanwhile, has been following up on the key she found on Briggs. This leads her to a storage unit, where she finds a sack with the stolen jewels. El Sapo has followed her, and he really wants the jewels. They fight, but El Sapo gets the upper hand, beating and stomping Deb soundly. He holds his gun to her head, then changes his mind: "You are lucky I only kill people when I am paid to." Instead, he takes her gun, the jewels, and locks her in the unit.
The crime scene Dexter arrives at is El Sapo, shot to death in his car. Dexter is worried that whoever killed El Sapo is after Deb next. He bags a piece of broken glass that has blood on the outside (might belong to the killer) and heads to Deb's house to check on her. Deb has escaped from the storage unit, and is asleep on the couch, amid a disaster zone of beer bottles, dirty laundry, and unopened mail. She wakes, and is pissed to see Dexter there. He sees her bruises and tells her about El Sapo. Deb doesn't care, and certainly doesn't want Dexter to care about her. He leaves, dejected, and heads to Lyle's cabin, in hopes of an easy kill to take his mind off things. The cabin is a charnel house, and Dexter discovers he is too late - Lyle has been killed and strung up on a meathook. Dexter reports back to Vogel, who is worried because Dexter is agitated. But it is not Lyle he is agitated by; it is Deb. He refuses to offer any other details about Deb.
Dexter runs the blood on the glass he found and is surprised to find it belongs to Deb. Deb has come into the station to give a statement, where she is greeted warmly by her former coworkers. Deb is uncomfortable. Quinn takes her statement in an interrogation room (the briefing room is in use) which allows Dexter to watch. When Quinn shows her the El Sapo crime scene photos, Deb has a panic attack. Dexter intervenes and takes her outside to calm down. He knows she killed El Sapo. Deb doesn't remember what happened - she was angry, she wanted the jewels back, next thing she knew, she was standing over a dead body. Dexter is a little saddened that she didn't call him to help with the body, but she is here now for help: she needs Dexter to switch her gun out of the evidence locker. Dexter gets big brother-y on her, which infuriates Deb. "It's not the first person I shot, probably won't be the last. Anything can happen in this hell hole that is now my life." Dexter realizes the old Deb died in that shipping container. He swaps Deb's gun out of evidence, but will never get used to doing this for her.
Vogel calls Dexter - she thinks there is someone in her house. Dexter tells her to wait in her car until he can get there. He arrives and checks out her house - no one there. Vogel enters cautiously, and discovers a DVD waiting for her on her computer. It is a video of Lyle killing the guy who ended up in skate park. There is someone else in that room, someone who is coercing Lyle into asphyxiating the victim. Dexter feels like he failed for not having figured that out. He finally admits that he has destroyed Deb, that he was a mistake. Vogel hugs him, motherly, and assures him he is perfect.
Dig It or Bury It?
I am really absorbed in this Dr. Vogel storyline. First off, we are getting all sorts of fascinating details from Dexter's childhood, and more interestingly, how Harry dealt with a psychopathic child. It is something we haven't really explored. I think the general assumption has always been that Harry just approached his son with cold, logical detachment. But to see him cry, that was a unique experience.
I feel like Vogel is up to something. Perhaps she is just a little bit of a mad scientist; perhaps there is something far more sinister going on with her. After all, Hannibal Lecter was a renown psychotherapist. Is she the killer, the "big bad" this season? Was that her coercing Sussman to kill? And if she is the killer, is she doing it as a test to Dexter, or a narcissistic test to herself, to prove that she is in fact the smartest killer in the room?
Flashback to the Future
In the recorded sessions between Harry and Vogel, Harry relates to her a story from when Dexter was 10 years old. He was pestering his father to take him to a real crime scene. Harry gives in , in hopes that it would shock him out of his obsession. Instead, Dexter was fascinated by the scene, admiring it like a painting. Dexter remembered that day - he wanted to be that artist. He also remembers stealing a bloody glass fragment from the scene as a souvenir. This is where his blood slide obsession began.
In another session, Harry talks about Dexter's third kill, a drug dealer. This was the first time he made his victim look at pictures of his victims - Dex said it was just something he needed to do. This encouraged Vogel: he is following the program.
Dexter admits that he wish he had known Vogel years ago. He could have used someone to talk to when Harry died. This surprises Vogel - people like Dexter don't usually seek out an emotional connection.
Vogel refers to Dexter as "her creation" and groups him in with other psychopaths as "people like you." Dexter doesn't like be talked about like he is less than human. Vogel assures him that it is quite the opposite. "I believe that psychopaths are not a mistake of nature, but a gift that helps the human race become civilized. Without psychopaths, mankind wouldn't exist today."
Words of Wisdom
Dexter, at the new crime scene: "Miami makes more murder victims than sunburns."
Out of the Mouth of Masuka
When Deb comes into the police station, Masuka gives her a big hug and says, "You know, if I were to cop a feel, it wouldn't be sexual harassment anymore." (Well, it would be, but not workplace sexual harassment.)
Deb breaks down and confesses to Laguerta's murder - or tries to.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
Requests for accommodations in online classes must be made through the Office of Accessibility Resources. Please make requests before the start of the course so accommodations will be in place when needed. Implementing online accommodations may take up to 2 weeks. Be prepared to provide documentation of your disability. See the documentation guidelines webpage for more information. View their website for contact information.
Textbooks and supplies
It is your responsibility to get the required textbooks and materials before your course starts. Your course description on the SLN website will provide information on the required textbooks and materials, as well as information about the College bookstore, under the "Book Info" link. You can visit Cayuga's bookstore at either the Fulton or Auburn campus (for online courses, check to make sure the campus store has your textbooks in stock), or you can phone your order to the bookstore and have it shipped to you. You can buy your textbooks from other sources, but it is your responsibility to get the right titles and editions. Failure to obtain correct textbooks or materials will not entitle you to a refund of tuition if you drop the course, nor does the College or faculty have any responsibility to assist you with these materials.
Attendance Policy
Attendance in an online course is defined as an active post or submission within the course including discussions, written assignments and tests. This standard will be used to determine all attendance issues, including but not limited to, never having attended reports, last date of attendance, and involuntary withdrawal from a course due to lack of attendance.
