I really am speechless...Posted Jun 16, 2014
Pros: Staff, location, uniqueness, just about everything...
Cons: Nothing that I can think of right now.
Location: It is in the middle of the city, right on Jardin de la Union, so it's within walking distance to everything.
Don't get fooled by the title. I really am speechless with how wonderful this hotel is. I have stayed in a lot of hotels throughout my life, try to vacation as much as I can. But this hotel by far is the best I've stayed in. Truly a real treat for me and the wife. The staff is absolutely amazing, to the point that they knew us by name by the 2nd night. They always went out their way to make sure they said "Hello, Good Morning, Good Night, Have a great sleep!". Everyone in reception/concierge is absolutely wonderful. The same goes for all the bell boys. This hotel is a boutique hotel, which means is small but big enough to satisfy your vacation needs. Each room is unique and that makes it wonderful. The pictures you see online is really what you get. I really wish I had the ability to describe everything but all I can say is just go an experience it for yourself. Oh and one more thing, the location of this place is absolutely amazing.

Nice Boutique Hotel in GuanajuatoPosted Mar 31, 2014 on Hotels.com
Amazing location right in the main town square. Room facing the interior was extremely quiet. Would have liked windows facing the square. But, the trade off would have been more street noise. Great service!! We were allowed to select from various rooms and were upgraded to a very nice suite. Concierge service was tops! Great set up of town tour and restaurant recommendations. Would stay again!

Perfect location.Posted Mar 21, 2014
Pros: Staff.
Cons: More lights in room.
Location: Best. Anything you desire.
Best location in Guanajuato. Staff excellent. Rooms dark because of poor design. No restaurant, connected to a Starbuck's. Nice lounge on roof.

Wonderful timePosted Jan 27, 2014
Perfectly located right by Union de la Jardin. Very friendly staff. I was traveling alone, but everybody there made me feel welcome and at home. I stayed at Natalia, the room was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the internet was fast!!

great location but overpriced and underwhelmingPosted Jan 13, 2014
Pros: location
Cons: see above.
Location: hotel is on the Jardin Union in historic section of the city. Charming area, with restaurants, museums, University of Guanajuato and theaters nearby.
hotel forgot to send car for airport pickup on arrival, despite prior email confirmation -- and initially hotel desk even tried to claim there had not been confirmation. Then they switched my first night from the "jr suite" I had booked to an "upgraded" room, that had a strong sewage smell. When called on it, the hotel staff acknowledged the presence of this strong unpleasant odor. Hardly an "upgrade". (The smelly room is called "Cynthia" and I believe it is, not surprisingly, frequently available.) It is offensive for the hotel to keep renting it without disclosure of the smell, and even worse, to clam that it is an "upgrade." The rom I booked was sold as a jr suite, but it was tiny, very dark with very small bathroom. Evidently the presence of a single chair and small coffee table qualified it as a "jr suite" at a cost of over $3000 MX per night. Front desk and concierge were very friendly, house keeping excellent and the location was unbeatable. However, overall, the hotel is greatly overpriced and was a disappointment.

ONLY place to stay in Guanajuato..Posted Dec 31, 2013
Pros: Location, staff, rooms
Cons: Length of bed!
Location: Great taco place round the corner - El Trompo de san Javier. Just a very short walk to the funicular for great views
We loved our recent stay in this gorgeous boutique hotel. Booked 2 rooms for the family. Both beautifully appointed and lovely bathroom amenities. Comfortable beds if not a little short for my husband. Fantastic location - right in the Jardin de la union- beautiful area. Breakfast next door was superb and part of our deal through Expedia. A big shout out to Betty the concierge who warmly welcomed us and her english and knowledge of the area was very helpful. Don't bother with anywhere else!

The NHS has always boasted of caring for people from cradle to grave – but cremation is clearly different.

The DOT report lists the state's additional operating needs in the next 10 years as:
$4.4 billion, allowing MassDOT to end the decades-long practice of funding operating costs - personnel, rent, utilities, lawn mowing, etc - with borrowed funds. Currently, for every dollar MassDOT spends on these items, it pays $1.76 in principal and interest costs.
$1.1 billion for Regional Transit Authorities to end the practice of borrowing, with interest costs, to fund annual operating costs by instead forward-funding each agency.
$3.2 billion allowing the MBTA to close its current and projected budget deficits, much of which is caused by the debt burden related to the Central Artery public transit commitments.
In addition, the plan calls for a $13 billion infusion of capital investment funds. Among the capital projects are:
The Patrick administration's long-awaited comprehensive transportation plan includes a fully funded, $1.8 billion SouthCoast rail project, but the improvements will come at a steep cost to taxpayers.
The plan, announced Monday, outlines the need for additional funding of $1.02 billion a year for the next 10 years to address the state's current transportation needs and problems and set the course for future economic growth.
The Department of Transportation report said some of that money would come from system reforms and modernization, but "also acknowledges the need for additional revenue to meet its ambitious goals." Those recommendations include an increase in the gas tax, sales tax or income tax; a new green fee on vehicle registrations; a vehicle-miles-traveled tax; regular and modest fare, fee and toll increases, and "new tolling mechanisms."
In endorsing the plan, Gov. Deval Patrick said he would indicate his preferred means for raising the additional revenue in his State of the State address Wednesday and in his fiscal 2014 budget plan next week.
"What's plain as day is that we have to make choices," Patrick said. "We can choose to invest in ourselves, to invest in a growth strategy that has been proven time and again to work, or we can choose to do nothing.
"But let us be clear: Doing nothing is a choice, too. And that choice has consequences. It means longer commutes, cuts in services, larger fare and fee increases and a continuation of the self-defeating economics of cutting off large parts of our population from opportunity and growth."
The proposed investment in SouthCoast is substantial. The $1.8 billion for commuter rail from New Bedford and Fall River to Boston is the largest single project in the plan and, the governor said, non-negotiable.
"The South Coast Rail project is enormously important," Patrick said in a phone interview after the presentation. "South Coast Rail has to be part of the ultimate plan. There's not going to be a plan that has my signature on it that does not have South Coast Rail in it.
"The SouthCoast has been economically cut off for a long, long time and now is the time to deal with that," the governor said. "We've had some self-defeating economics in the commonwealth for a long time, starving certain regions of infrastructure investments in favor of one big project in downtown Boston. In the future, we need to pay attention to the whole of the commonwealth."
The rail project "will result in greater mobility for SouthCoast residents and less congestion on Route 24," the administration said in a prepared statement. "The project is expected to create 3,800 jobs and generate $500 million in new economic activity statewide annually."
The area also would benefit from a $5.4 million increase in funding for the Southeastern Regional Transit Authority (SRTA) next year, improvements to Route 6 and Faunce Corner Road in Dartmouth and reconstruction of Route 18 from Cove Street to Griffin Court in New Bedford and interchange improvements at Routes 24 and 140 in Taunton.
"The reason this is in here is not primarily because of the casino" proposed by the Mashpee Wampanoag, Patrick said of the Taunton interchange work. "It's a choke point, as you know, so it's an investment we ought to be making."

Topic - Should I be logging my climbs
Pete Fish - on 23 Oct 2012
Hey up,
I've been back climbing for about three years in various indoor walls (Harlow, foundry, Milton Keynes and a couple of others) and whilst not great I'm doing ok for an irregular climber (6a normally, 6b at a push).
Recently I've taken a couple of friends from work along who were complete beginners and whilst I'm comfortable covering basic safety stuff and climbing I was thinking about going on an instructors course (CWA?) as it would increase my confidence in bringing new people along as well as increasing my knowledge of climbing.
Looking around at the courses they all seem to mention log books, previously I'd always thought of this as an outdoor thing so haven't bothered keeping track of what I've been doing.
So I guess the question is, should I be logging the climbs that I do each week? And can I get hold of a log book without signing up to the courses?
Thanks and hopefully that's not a really obvious question.

Everton swept aside a woeful Fulham outfit to keep their excellent run going.
The demolition of the Londoners was a second successive 4-0 home win and means the Toffees have scored 12 goals in their last three Premier League games.
David Moyes' men cantered into a 3-0 lead at the break, lead by the lethal Nikica Jelavic.
The January arrival netted either side of a Marouane Fellaini header, with Tim Cahill adding the fourth after the break.
It means Everton have scored four goals in three successive league games for the first time since 1964.
Flip-flop clad Fulham were insipid in the absence through illness of their manager Martin Jol and Fellaini had already had an effort blocked when Pienaar was felled on the edge of the box. The supremely confident Jelavic stepped up and saw his curled effort blocked by the hand of Pavel Pogrebnyak.
Ref Phil Dowd had ensured the wall was in the box so could only point to the spot.
And it was no surprise when the lethal Croat converted from 12 yards.
Howard flicked Alexander Frei's shot over the bar and Jelavic struck the post before Everton doubled their lead.
In mopping up the striker's near miss Fulham conceded a corner and Fellaini rose uncontested six yards out with only 16 minutes on the clock.
Clint Dempsey appeared the Cottagers' main threat and after an early sighter he drew a superb save from Tim Howard.
The custodian had to readjust after his compatriot's effort hit Heitinga and stuck out a hand to divert it over the bar.
Soon it was 3-0 when the prolific Jelavic raced on to Pienaar's through-ball, rounded Schwarzer and then smashed it back through the Australian's legs from an acute angle.
Darron Gibson was replaced by Cahill at the break but it didn't hinder Everton's dominance.
The fourth goal, on the hour mark, was delightfully crafted by Pienaar.
The South African scooped the ball over the defence and new man Cahill raced through to poke it home.
Jelavic was denied his hat-trick when Schwarzer clawed away his free kick soon afterwards.
Fellaini was replaced by Ross Barkley for the last 15 minutes and Everton continued to pour forward, with Pienaar and then Osman - on his 300th appearance for the Club - going close to making it five.

Atlantic City, NJ (Sports Network) - Andrew Nicholson made the go-ahead free throw with 1 1/2 minutes remaining and recorded a block in the final seconds, lifting St. Bonaventure over the Saint Joseph's Hawks, 71-68, in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
Nicholson ended with 25 points and 10 rebounds for the fourth-seeded Bonnies (18-11), who have recorded the most wins in a season since 2001. Charlon Kloof added 19 points.
Still in search of their first-ever Atlantic 10 playoff title, the Bonnies will play UMass -- which toppled Temple earlier on Friday -- in a Saturday semifinal. St. Bonaventure has advanced to the semis of this tourney for the first time since 2000.
Carl Jones tallied 24 points for the fifth-seeded Hawks (20-13), who failed to build off an 80-64 win over Charlotte in the first round on Thursday. Langston Galloway and Daryus Quarles each had 12 points.
With the score tied at 68-68, Nicholson made 1-of-2 from the foul line to give the Bonnies a one-point lead with 1:32 to play.
St. Joseph's had the ball after Jones and Nicholson each missed jumpers. The Hawks took a timeout with 36.8 seconds remaining and on the ensuing possession, Galloway drove to the lane and was called for a charge.
Kloof made 1-of-2 from the line with 17.2 ticks left on the clock to give St. Bonaventure a 70-68 margin. Jones tried to get a shot off from the baseline at the other end, but Nicholson came up with a big block.
Matthew Wright was fouled with less than a second remaining and made 1-of-2 free throws, accounting for the final margin.

The first person to begin Sunday mornings Life Time Miami Marathon and Half Marathon was who most people in the stands wanted to see at the end.
Maickel Melamed has hypotonia, a condition similar to muscular dystrophy, but that has not stopped him from completing marathons in Berlin, Chicago and New York. The 38-year-old completed the half marathon in a little less than seven hours and was met at the finish line by throngs of adoring fans. The Venezuelan posed for at least a dozen photographs before exiting the finishing corral.
Im really happy and proud of the city of Miami, Melamed said. Its an amazing race, an amazing sporting event, and its an honor.
Melamed runs to try to inspire other people to chase their dreams. He and his team wore shirts that said Vamos on them, the slogan, which means lets go, is a call for people to not let anything stand in their way of reaching their goals.
Although he said he is appreciative of the support, he added there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure his message is heard.
Id rather celebrate the accomplishments of others, he said. Were just doing our job. Our message isnt fulfilled yet.
Happy winner
Not much could wipe the gigantic smile from Ludovic Nacres face.
The 45-year-old won the mens athletes with disabilities hand-cycle marathon with a time of 1 hour 14 minutes 14 seconds. It was his third win in a marathon after taking home the top prize in the Barcelona and Hamburg, Germany, marathons. Nacre is the French champion in the hand-crank wheelchair discipline.
Hes been in Miami for a week and said through a translator he loves the race and being in Miami in general. Before coming last week, his only vision of Miami came from television portrayals in series such as Miami Vice and Dexter.
I think its a dream, Nacre said. Its the U.S. Its Florida. Its fantastic compared to other marathons.
Jacqui Kapinowski won the womens hand-cycle division for the third year in a row with a time of 1:40:17. It was the fourth consecutive win for the 51-year-old woman from Tequesta, after taking first in the push-rim division in 2011.
She said yes
Ari Wolf paced nervously in the finishing strait, waiting for his girlfriend to finish the half marathon. As the anticipation grew, he prepared his towel on the wet pavement and knelt down with a bouquet of roses in his hands.
When Rachel Avisrur finally crossed the finish line, 3 hours 42 minutes after she began, Wolf asked her to marry him. The New York native said yes after the initial shock wore off, marking a great end to her race day.
Darren Weissman, a Miami native better known as Doctor Dribble, broke his world record for fastest marathon while dribbling two basketballs with a time of 4:16:13. The record is pending official approval by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Josh Liebman, the vice mayor of South Miami, finished his 100th marathon Sunday in 5:26:40. He said his sister showed his father, who is in the hospital recovering from surgery for throat cancer, a video of him finishing the race and said it brought tears of pride to his fathers eyes.
Bryan Sharkey, a Miami financial advisor who collapsed of dehydration after winning the Palm Beaches Marathon in December, finished 16th in Sundays half marathon with a time of 1:17:45. He won the Tropical 5K on Saturday in 16 minutes 42 seconds.
Patty Cohen, whose husband was killed in a hit-and-run on the Rickenbacker Causeway nearly two years ago, finished the half marathon in 2:27:09.

Medaille College's Write Thing Reading Series just might be one of the most eclectic visiting artist series at any educational institution in Buffalo. Each semester, Medaille invites from 3 to 6 published poets and fiction writers to campus for readings and/or class visits. Students at Medaille have the unique chance to meet up close and personal with Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award finalists, Guggenheim Fellowship recipients, and some of the most renowned international writers of today - as well as up-and-coming younger writers.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

St. Baldrick's is the world's largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research. Thousands of volunteers shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer, while requesting donations of support from friends and family.
At a St. Baldrick's event, something amazing happens. People who normally shy away from the very thought of childhood cancer find themselves compelled to support this cause after looking into the face of these brave children who are smiling broadly as their friends and family members proudly display their newly shorn heads.
Volunteers and donors see it can be fun to support a serious cause. Young cancer patients and survivors see how many people care. And researchers see St. Baldrick's funds helping to find cures!

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Police say a 50-year-old Billings man tried to take an 11-year-old girl outside her home while he was naked.
Court records say Billings police first received a 911 call on Feb. 10 of a naked man in a park. Forty minutes later, a woman reported a naked man had chased her niece from the outside girl's home.
Three days later, the girl's mother called police to report a naked man had approached their house.
The Billings Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/WjOdwN) responding officers found Douglas Keith Winkler in a truck with his pants around his ankles.
He was charged Thursday with attempted sexual assault, an alternative charge of assault on a minor, two counts of indecent exposure, plus DUI, obstructing and resisting arrest.
Judge Larry Herman set bond at $100,000.

Wash with lotion. Cleanse with a cream-based formula rather than a gel. "Thicker, opaque formulas contain more moisturizing emollients," Dr. Hellman says. To max out its moisturizing ability, tissue off, don't rinse; you'll remove dirt while leaving behind a layer of healthy-skin ingredients such as glycerin.
Pass on perfume. "Fragrance is one of the most common irritants, especially when applied to sensitive skin," Dr. Hellman says. Scan product labels for phrases such as "fragrance free," and check the ingredient lists to be sure "fragrance" isn't there. (Hint: It's usually at the end.)
Antiage, gently. Look for skin-care products that pack a double punch. They should be formulated with peptides -- amino acids that repair skin damage and stimulate the natural production of collagen -- as well as antioxidants to fade freckles and spots, Dr. Bank says. The most effective, according to the doc: coffeeberry, idebenone and kinetin.

November 14, 2012, 11:55 AM — SugarSync today released the public beta of a complete revamp of its cloud storage and content-sharing service that replaces its file directory-style look with a GUI-style menu along with drag and drop file transfer features.
SugarSync 2.0 also offers new search functionality that will initially allow users to search by file name and later by file content.
"That was the top requested feature by users: search," said SugarSync spokesman Robb Henshaw. "It's like having Google Desktop or Spotlight Search on your computer."
The previous SugarSync version used the user's native file directory for searches, but that didn't work well with mobile devices, Henshaw said.
Henshaw called the new user interface "very DropBoxesque" but with more powerful features. Henshaw was referring to DropBox, another cloud storage service.
A before and after look at SugarSync's user interface
SugarSync also added drag-and-drop sharing of content to contacts or to social media sites, giving users a faster method of sharing and collaborating.
"You can share by dropping the target file into a list of contacts' email addresses, or you can just drop a file to one specific email address on a list," Henshaw said.
The Sharing Tab displays what's being shared with you by others, and a second tab shows what you're sharing with everyone else. Another feature allows users to select when they want to break the file-sharing link with another user or users.
SugarSync 2.0 also introduced the new "SugarSync Drive," a virtual drive that displays all content synchronized to SugarSync's cloud storage service. The SugarSync Drive allows users to see all of their folders in the cloud from any device, and allows users to manage that content from their system's native file system.
Previously users had what SugarSync called its Magic Briefcase, a proprietary user interface. Customers can continue using the Magic Briefcase if they're more comfortable with that, or the new SugarSync Drive. New users will only be offered the SugarSync Drive cloud management feature.
Files and folders stored in SugerSync Drive display to users on which device they were originally stored as well as on what other devices the content has been synchronized.
When a user scrolls down a file directory, a green check mark will appear if it is stored locally.
"With the new version, you can keep a local copy on one device so that you can work on the file when you're offline, and pull down another copy from the cloud on all your other devices [when you're online]," Henshaw said. "Or you can just have one copy in the cloud, and no copies on any device."

Wednesday, May 24, 1989 Weber State College Volume 49 Number SO Senate's final action keeps fashion shows free By Scott Summerill Editor in Chief A proposal to coordinate fashion shows held on campus through WSC's Fashion Merchandising was defeated in the last scheduled meeting of the ASWSC Senate. Technology Senator Guy Watkins introduced the resolution Monday because "There has been some damaged merchandise returned to the sponsors." He said, "some of the fashion shows have been done very amateuristic." Traditional Students Senator Scott Forsberg voiced concern that the Senate has no authority outside of ASWSC. "We don't have the power, or the right, to tell other organizations what to do," he said. New gym rs time is due James Powner Contributing Writer . ,-. Dr. G. Wilden, chair of the Physical Education Department, is very enthusiastic when he speaks of the development of the new building now under construction just west of the Swenson Gymnasium. Wilden's wait for the facility, as well as Weber's, has been an extensive one. The project was first proposed in 1969 because the number of students attending Weber was more than the Swenson gym could comfortably accommodate. The Gym was constructed to hold a maximum of 500 students. Since 1972, there has been a new proposal on the new structure every year, although each year due to finances, the size has been repeatedly cut down because of a lack of funding. (see GYM on page 3) Inside The Signpost NeWS page 2 Subject of documentary speaks at Convo Opinion page 4 Mickey goes to China ArtS Page 7 Illiteracy: America's biggest problem SpOrtS page 10 Men's track takes 2nd ! OQQQOj Sign Off Take 2 Sports is the name of the game at Weber State (see Section B) Dean of Campus Life Rick Sline said the action may keep some shows from being put on. "I'm concerned that some organizations won't be able to put on a fashion show if Fashion Merchandising gets too busy," he said. According to Coordinator of Student Government Colleen Garside, most retailers furnishing clothes for the shows require the organizations to sign a contract making them responsible to pay for any damaged goods. The proposal also has the possibility of giving power to Fashion Merchandising that Garside said they shouldn't have. "I would hate to have Fashion Merchandising controlling the program arm of campus," she said. Non-traditional Students Senator Dan Alsup said the proposal is aimed at urging organizations to use what's available on campus. "It isn't going to give them control or power," he said. "It's only going to utilize a resource." Physically Challenged S tudents Senator Melvin Feller thought the resolution was a waste of time, and bordered on infringing on constitutional rights of free speech and assembly. "This bill is meaningless and obtrusive," he said. "Not to mention that it's getting into censorship." The proposal was defeated by a 6-9 margin. -r , n UiJ J 1 X r x J' V "i ' .' t A 'i y, - J v i I f 1 - LOTS OF FASHION SHOWS have taken place at WSC this year.- Monday in Student Senate, Technology Senator Guy Watkins introduced legislation concerning the modeling of apparel. The above show was sponsored by Distributive Technology. (The Signpost photo: Darwin Shaw) Health fair informative for Weberites By Joyce Zabriskie Staff Reporter The Stewart Union Building ballroom was "the scene for the 1989 Weber State College Health Fair which took place yesterday morning. Health services such as cholesterol screening, information on drug counseling, health fitness, AIDS awareness and diabetes were offered to students during the health fair. St. Benedict's hospital was on hand to let students know what services are available through their health facility childbirth services, community health, nutritional weight counseling and alcohol and drug dependency programs. Mi. . i it t J " f (The Signpost photo: Darwin Shaw) Peer counselors from D.A.H.N. (Drug Addiction Help Net) program were on hand to offer services like educational survival classes to help student cope with the stress of college life and to put them in touch of rehabilitation services that they can afford. Peer counselor Mark Bumside is a senior at WSC and is majoring in social work. "We teach students to be resistant to persuasion. There is a strategy to saying 'no,'" he said. "Just saying 'no' without people to help you is stupid." Burnside admits that most people experience stress and use some sort of drug to get through it. Coffee and tobacco are two examples. 'The reason why people use these drugs is that they work for a while," Burnside said. "There is a lot people can do without using drugs. We're here to help." Burnside suggested there is a subculture of "druggies" here on campus a network of addicts that buy and sell and separate themselves from everyone else. "It has taken Weber State a long time to realize that we do indeed have a drug problem on campus." American Red Cross was also at the Health Fair with a video and brochures on AIDS, plus a brochure for courses offered through their services. McKay Dee Hospital drew a crowd with their free cholesterol screening. Those interested in the health of their blood vessels could have their blood drawn and sent to labs for analysis. They will be receiving test results in the mail.

|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1989-05-24, Vol. 49, No. 80
|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

text: Federal Loans ShareFacebookTwitterLinkedInEmail William D. Ford Federal Direct Stafford Loan (formerly Federal Stafford Loan): This federal loan is available to students and is not credit based. The amount students can borrow each academic year is based on class level. Freshmen can borrow a maximum of $3,500, $4,500 for sophomores, and juniors and seniors can borrow $5,500 each year. Class levels are based on the number of completed courses. Students whose parents are denied a PLUS loan can borrow additional unsubsidized Stafford loan funds. The interest rate on the Susbsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford loan is 4.66% (if disbursed after July 1, 2014) with an origination fee of 1.072%. Interest rates on both types of loans are fixed. A Stafford loan will be part of the financial aid award package if the FAFSA form is on file. The loan will be certified by the Office of Financial Aid unless the award letter is returned by the student indicating that the loan is not needed. A Master Promissory Note (MPN) will need to be completed by the student when they borrow their first loan and will automatically be used for all other Stafford loans borrowed while attending W&J. Entrance Counseling for First-Time Borrowers (Freshmen and Transfer Students): As a first-time borrower, federal regulations require you to complete an entrance counseling session before federal Stafford loan funds can be credited to your student account at the College. Federal Perkins Loan: This federally funded loan is offered through the College at a 5% interest rate with a nine-month grace period and a ten-year repayment term after graduation. A Master Promissory Note (MPN) will have to be signed before the beginning of the fall semester before loan funds can be credited to the student's account. This MPN can be used for Perkins loans awarded in subsequent years. ECSI, the servicer for this loan, will contact students with additional instruction about promissory note completion over the summer. Currently our Perkins funds are very limited and are available only for selected freshmen. William D. Ford Federal Direct PLUS Loan (formerly Federal PLUS Loan): This loan is for parents of dependent undergraduate students. Parents who are credit approved may borrow a PLUS loan each year to assist in meeting college expenses that are not covered through other financial aid awards. The maximum a parent may borrow is the difference between the cost of attendance and the student's total financial aid. Repayment traditionally begins within 60 days of the final disbursement. Beginning July 1, 2014 the rate of interest for PLUS Loans is a fixed 7.21% with an origination fee of 4.288%. Parents can now choose to defer payments on a PLUS loan disbursed on or after July 1, 2008. Payment can be deferred until six months after the date the student ceases to be enrolled at least part-time. Accruing interest can be paid monthly or quarterly or be capitalized quarterly. Students must now complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order for a parent to apply for a PLUS loan. A biological parent who wishes to borrow a PLUS Loan and is not the parent listed on the FAFSA must complete this PLUS Pre-Application in order for an aid representative to verify his/her relationship to the student. In addition, a Direct PLUS Loan Request and MPN must be completed on www.studentloans.gov by the borrower.

The writers of this blog are not music critics, and they don't consider a second (or third, fourth or fifth) mortgage to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to pay for front-row tickets, but despite being a whole lot more middle aged than they were when they first put \x34Born in the U.S.A.\x34 or \x34The River\x34 down on the turntable, still feels like Bruce has something -- OK, a lot of things -- to say about our country and the way we live our lives, things that not a lot of other artists are saying. And whether he's talking about the knife that can cut this pain from your heart, the house that's waiting for you to walk in or what that flag flying over the courthouse means, he's nailing down feelings that are so universal that they can raise your spirits and break your heart at the same time. Plus, let�s face it, the man rocks.

Peter Ames Carlin.
Let�s get this out of the way right off the bat: Peter Ames Carlin is no
Albert Goldman
. Unlike the late slash-and-burn biographer who drew brickbats for his controversial books on Elvis Presley and John Lennon, Carlin � whose new Bruce Springsteen biography �Bruce� is a New York Times bestseller � is actually a fan of his subject.
In an extensive interview, Carlin talked to us about how he balanced his inner fanboy with his outward journalist, why Springsteen chose to work with him on "Bruce," and how he approached his attempt to capture the man behind the myth.
Blogness: Tell me if I�m wrong, but your interest in Springsteen isn�t entirely journalistic � you�re a fan too, right?
Oh yeah, totally. It sort of came on a bunch of different levels for me, my ambition to write a book about Bruce. Because on the one hand I�d been a fan going back to 1978 when I saw this show in Seattle, at the Seattle Center Arena, right at the end of the Darkness tour. And that just knocked me sideways � I had this vague idea that this guy was good in concert, but then that was really something special.
And I just followed his work ever since. I felt like I connected with it, and that what he was saying at the time about whatever was happening in his life or his sense of the world, which had very little to do with my life or my sense of the world, still, you know, those feelings, sort of the internal drive to it � I felt like it made sense, it felt real to me and honest and passionate. So I could never figure out a reason that I should change my tastes. It always meant something to me.
And then as I went to college and became a writer, and started looking at the world and certainly at the culture in a different, I guess in a more sophisticated way, and began to see connections to the other voices of the moment that Bruce admired � like Woody Guthrie and Steinbeck and Stephen Foster and those guys � I just thought, well, this is fascinating. And Bruce as a character is obviously a fascinating guy. Just as a symbol and as a human and as somebody who has become such an arbiter of American ideas and ideals.
So it just turned into one of those kind of passion projects, I guess, where I felt this sense of responsibility, maybe mostly to myself, to do as good a job on this as I could possibly do. That there was an important story here � I�d yet to find an analysis or a story about the guy that struck me as really what I felt needed to be said. And then as a writer, a professional, you have the arrogance to think, �Well, maybe I�m the guy who can do that.� And then from there, you move forward.
Blogness: When you started this project you had no idea that Springsteen would be willing to participate personally, or give you access to his inner circle like he did. After all these years of not participating in projects like this, why do you think he chose to now, with this one?
I know what it was, because I talked to Jon Landau about it a few times. First of all, let�s talk about good timing and good luck � that I came around right at the time when he began thinking that maybe it might be a good idea to cooperate with somebody, or the idea of allowing a biographer to come in and do a book was less repellant than ever before, let�s put it that way.
It seemed like a big part of the charm for them was that I was independent, and that they didn�t have to worry that people were going to say, oh, this was an inside, in-house job, that these guys dictated this to him to some degree. And the fact that I had spent a year and a half doing so much research, Jon said that was a big deal for him and Bruce � that I was being super thorough and not just pulling clips and spouting off.
Which was fortunate � this was the lucky part � because the way I was pursuing it was absolutely the way I wanted to pursue it � you know, a heavily reported, old-style biography where I could go back and talk to his kindergarten buddies. So these things kind of came together, and when Jon called in the beginning of 2011, it seemed at that point he had read my earlier books, and then he told me subsequently that the amount of work I�d put in to it had impressed Bruce. Jon remembered Bruce saying, �This guy�s put so much work and time into this, I�ve got to honor his labors.�
Blogness: That�s such a Bruce thing to say.
Yeah, isn�t it though? Isn�t it? It�s like, �How do I slap this guy in the face?� So it took him a long time to get around to it, but when we finally talked it he was totally committed.
Blogness: So having been a fan for such a long time, while you were talking to Springsteen for the book, how did you balance the need for journalistic objectivity with the feeling that, �Oh my God, I�m talking to Bruce Springsteen!�
Well, by the time we got the point where he and I were talking, or meeting or whatever, the fanboy who was always there in the background somewhere, he was kind of tied to a chair � that guy could not really get in the way, because I had so put so much work into and had so much riding on the book, and my professional obligations. So at that point I didn�t have the bandwith to get star-struck � I had to focus everything I had on just being with the guy and trying not only to have the conversation and track it on a variety of levels, but also try to absorb kind of the vibe around him or coming from him and set that into the story, or try to draw out something that was thematic about it.
And so to the extent that it was nervous-making, it was because I didn�t want to blow it! As a professional thing, I didn�t want to say stuff that would necessarily make him think he was talking to a fan, because when that screen comes up my sense is that you don�t get a really close look at the guy.
I mean there were clearly times when, if we were having a drink or something and things had kind of boiled down a bit and we were just chatting, sometimes I�d bust out one of those stories about how his work and my life had somehow intersected. And sometimes he seemed to get a kick out of it and sometimes he seemed be like sort of �Sure, fine, whatever� � �Well that�s nice, but we don�t need to go into much more depth.� [laughs]
But I think he does get something out of people telling him that stuff, because it reaffirms his sense that his work touches people.
Tomorrow: Carlin on some uncomfortable Springsteen moments, his favorite album, and … a sequel?
Peter Ames Carlin will be conducting a Q&A at the Rock �n� Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on Tuesday evening, Dec. 5. He�ll be reading and signing books at the Oregon History Museum in Portland at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 10, and on Dec. 13 will talk about Springsteen at the East Bend Public Library in Bend, Ore., starting at 6:30.�For more information, visit

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - A longtime member of a Massachusetts church says thieves have ransacked the house of worship, taking "everything but the pews."
Bernadine Smith says the thieves entered the Holy Temple Church of God in Christ in Springfield sometime last week and snatched an organ, communion dishes, the PA system, microphone stands, furniture, silverware and other items. She estimates the losses at $150,000.
Police Sgt. John Delaney said somebody used a key to enter the church between Aug. 20 and Aug. 22.
The 80-year-old congregation has been at its present Bay Street location since 1965.
Smith tells The Republican (http://bit.ly/190c7jK ) the church has insurance, but those documents may have also been stolen.
She says everything is gone except for "the pews and a couple chairs out of the pulpit."

MADISON, WI (WSAU) The Wisconsin football team said yesterday it would open the 2015 season against two-time defending B-C-S champion Alabama. The game will be played at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas on September fifth of 2015.
Badger fans have demanded that the team toughen up its non-conference schedule. And athletic director Barry Alvarez says it's a top priority – mainly because strength-of-schedule will be a factor in the new four-team playoff system in the B-C-S group. Alvarez says the Badgers "want to be in that mix."And he said it's a priority throughout the Big Ten to get rid of soft non-conference matchups.
Wisconsin had sought a home-and-home series with Alabama in 2011, but Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said no at that juncture.

City closer to acquiring Martin property
Published on Wed, Aug 29, 2012 by
Carissa Wright
Read More
The results of a long-awaited study of an east Blaine property owned by the Robert D. Martin Family Company are in, and Blaine City Council has taken the next step in acquiring the property for utility infrastructure improvements.
The results, presented by Blaine public works director Ravyn Whitewolf and community development director Michael Jones during a study session prior to Monday's city council meeting, convinced council members that routing utility service through the Martin property would be highly preferable to routing service along H Street.
The council asked city staff to examine the route – referred to as the Motts Hill alignment – as a viable option for a utility and road corridor servicing development in east Blaine, specifically the proposed Grandis Pond development. Staff was also tasked with examining the H Street corridor as an alternative, and comparing the two options.
With the help of Bellingham-based Wilson Engineering, city staff determined that the Motts Hill alignment would be significantly less costly and require fewer peripheral improvements.
Council members voted to hold a public hearing on September 24, following which they will decide whether to acquire the 80-foot-wide, 4,000-foot-long right of way through negotiation or condemnation.
The Wilson Engineering study and city staff identified four main areas of contrast between the two options: sewer infrastructure, acquisition of rights of way, impacts to critical environmental areas and conflicts with other utilities. In each of those aspects, city staff considered the Motts Hill route superior.
The study found that the Motts Hill sewer infrastructure would require no additional pump stations and would need a relatively shallow depth – 7 feet – as opposed to the H Street route's 16 feet or more throughout most of its length.
Running sewer and other utility lines along the Motts Hill route would also have no impact on an existing street. If the city chose H Street, recently completed $1.9 million improvements would be mostly dug up to run new sewer lines, as the current lines aren't large enough serve the proposed development.
"About half the street (and possibly more) would need to be rebuilt," Whitewolf said.
Routing improvements along the H Street corridor would also require obtaining rights-of-way from 28 property owners, and for many of those property owners the right of way would run right up to their front doors. While acquiring the Motts Hill easement might be a challenge, city attorney Jon Sitkin said, in the end the city would only be dealing with one landowner.
Addressing environmental issues, Jones stressed that staff was unable to fully examine potential wetlands areas along H Street due to a lack of access to private property. However, staff found that, at a bare minimum, the corridor includes two streams crossing underneath the road. Both streams are listed in the state Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) database as potentially salmon-bearing. Jones stated that construction in that area would require permits from the state, and possibly at the federal level as well. Current WDFW regulations, Jones said, generally require that construction affecting existing culverts need to replace them with 12-foot-wide, flat-bottomed culverts to allow more natural stream crossings. The study found no critical areas impacts – wetlands or streams – on the Martin property.
Running water and other utilities that could serve the new development along H Street would introduce multiple conflicts with existing utility lines, Whitewolf said, and likely require a closure of the road during construction. As a "clean slate," the Motts Hill route would have no such conflicts.
"You can feel the theme a little bit here, but the Motts Hill alignment we feel is the superior alternative," Whitewolf said. "From a fresh perspective … it makes all the sense in the world as an engineer to work in this Motts Hill alignment."
The public hearing on the matter will be held during the September 24 city council meeting.

What You Should Know About Fleet Week & Church Bells
The War of 1812 bicentennial kicked off in New Orleans during last week's "Fleet Week." On Monday, the battleships from 6 countries sailed down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico from whence they came to the sound of tolling church bells. Though the bells were mentioned in several media accounts, no one bothered to tell the story of WHY they are significant to a city once so steeped in Catholic tradition.
On the evening of January 7, 1815, New Orleans learned of a British Fleet's movement up the Mississippi, bound to capture New Orleans. Residents also knew that Colonel Andrew Jackson had raised a modest militia of 4,000 men to try and stop the mighty British at 11,000 strong.
That evening, New Orleanians gathered to pray at the Ursuline Chapel with Mother Marie Olivier de Vezin and the statue of Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Mother de Vezin had vowed that should Our Lady of Prompt Succor grant Jackson's men a victory that an annual Mass of Thanksgiving would be prayed for Our Lady.
At Mass the next morning, word arrived that Jackson had indeed been victorious. After the battle, Jackson stopped at the convent to personally thank the residents, Sister de Vizen and our Lady of Prompt Succor saying, "By the blessing of heaven, directing the valor of the troops under my command, one of the most brilliant victories in the annals of war was obtained."
On his every return to the Crescent City, Jackson always paid a visit to Ursuline Chapel and Our Lady of Prompt Succor. Perhaps when the bicentennial of the Battle of New Orleans is memorialized, Mother de Vezin and Our Lady of Prompt Succor will share the spotlight. I bet you Andrew Jackson would have wanted "Fleet Week" to do just that.

(Reuters) - The British minister who launched a review into G4S
The political spotlight is firmly on Britain's use of private outsourcing groups to run public services like prisons and hospitals after a series of high-profile contract failures.
Both G4S and Serco are being investigated by the UK's Serious Fraud Office after an audit showed they had charged for electronically tagging criminals who were either dead, in prison or had never been tagged in the first place.
In a column in The Independent, Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude said, "I want the companies we are reviewing to emerge renewed and stronger.
"Our reviews into G4S and Serco's contracts are rigorous and extensive," he added. "But when they report, and we are satisfied full health has been restored, we will move on quickly."
G4S and Serco hold some of Britain's largest outsourcing contracts; they get 10 percent and 25 percent of their revenue, respectively, from the central government.
For now, neither company is able to win new central government work until receiving the all clear from a Cabinet Office inquiry into the biggest contracts with the companies.

DETROIT (WTVB) - Detroit has lost another police chief to a sex scandal. Mayor Dave Bing held a news conference Monday to announce that Chief Ralph Godbee is gone. Interim Chief Chester Logan will be in charge until a new top cop is named. The mayor says the selection process for a new chief will begin today and under the city charter an agency will be hired to conduct a search.
Godbee was accused of having a sexual relationship with Internal Affairs Officer Angelica Robinson. She came forward about their relationship after Godbee took another woman with him to a police chief's conference in San Diego last week.

Josh Turner reached out to help the victims of a EF-4 tornado that had ripped through the community of Ringgold on April 27th, 2011. He held a benefit concert to raise money for the students and families effected by the powerful storm. The "After The Storm: Coming Together Benefit Concert With Josh Turner" raised over $100,000 for the community.
Turner also took a tour of the damaged town before he performed later that night. The tornado destroyed over 50% of the homes in the community, leaving more than half of the population homeless. Nine people had lost their lives in the storm, two of which were students at the Ringgold High School. The high school and a middle school both suffered major damage and are needing to be rebuilt before students can move back in to their schools. While insurance is paying for the schools, no equipment, textbooks, or athletics are covered by the insurance companies.
Turner dedicated "The Answer" to the students and the entire community. Final numbers are not yet in, but early estimates are over $100,000 raised at the benefit.
