They are thicker than normal cards, but it isn't difficult to shuffle them.
Step 1: Materials
-2 playing card packs.
- A paper punch
-Paper glue
Step 2: Making the holes
I made the holes by the sides of the cards: from one to six by the left side (1-6) and, if needed, from one to six by the right one (7-12). For the king I made another hole near the top side, between the two lines of holes I already made.
Don't make any holes through the jokers.
Step 3: Marking the suit
1 corner pierced: Hearts
2 corners pierced: Diamonds
3 corners pierced: Spades
4 corners pierced: Clubs
Be sure to make the holes clearly by the corners, so no one gets confused between this ones and the ones that show the number of the card.
Step 4: Making the holes invisible
I you want to use this card pack to play both blind an non-blind people you need to make the holes invisible to anyone but the holder.
To achieve this, just paste another card (of the same value of the first one) behind each of your pierced cards.
Now you have your blind man's card pack ready!
I gave my opinion and suggested a CONSTRUCTIVE alternative.. and even complimented the author on his invention. You sought to just to criticize me. Guess you missed that focus on the be nice policy and be constructive.
How would this be any better than what he did? Did you even read the whole thing? The last step involved taking the punched card and gluing it to another identical card, so the holes only go halfway through. (Gluing dots on would make the deck impossible to shuffle, anyway.)
If you liked this instructable, please vote for it in the Humana challenge!
I had a blind friend who had braille imprinted into his cards.
He also folded his money in different shapes so he knew what value it had.
That said, I would be curious to watch someone hold five cards and try to read them. The player would have to feel the whole face of the card to check for holes on both the left and the right. Does it slow down the game quite a bit? I like the idea of lining the holes up and down on only one side. Anything to make it easier to find the information fast.
Actually, the Braille Alphabet might work out very well, even if the person doesn't know Braille. It might be to their advantage to learn the needed characters. Instead of trying to locate and count all the holes on a card, everything is represented in two characters.
Just thinking out loud. Sorry for trying to improve on your working solution. Now, how does your friend tell the difference between the different colored poker chips?
Actually he reads the cards pretty fast. At the beginning he was slower, but now he just read the with the hole palm of the hand, one by one, but quite fast.
Hello gonal...
First, I applaud all your efforts to include your blind friend into your poker events. Well done !
Unlike your friend, I can read but need Larger Text and Symbols to function on my own.
I'm sending the following LINK so you can see a commercial card product that provides both the LARGE TEXT and Braille,
if he reads Braile.
Check with your friend and his other vision impaired friends.
Good Luck in all Future Endeavors.
He doesn't read braille yet, but he is learning now, so he'll probably be able to read it in little time.
I volunteer at Vision Australia- a collaborative organisation that aids people with vision impairment and total blindness- and this would be awesome for the men to be able to play poker on our social days!
Thanks a lot for sharing this out there :)
Then braille on sticky back clear paper and stick it on the face of the cards
H - heart; C - Club; D - Diamond; S - Spade
then have a A (or 1 - same braille), K, Q, J, and the numbers!!
It is Very Cool that you are including your Blind friends in your card games!!!
How to let him know hearts, diamonds, spades or clubs ?
To mark the suit you just have to make some holes near the corners of the card:
1 corner : Hearts
2 corners: DIamons
3 corners: Spades
4 corners: clubs
If you start from smallest to biggest, it would be Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades, or vice versa, why would you choose Heart Diamond, Spades, Clubs?
Just wondering, I've never heard of "CHaSeD" mentioned by bruno14069
Basic summary of what I said, since most people don't like to read everything.
-Top of card: 1-4 holes determines suit
-Sides of card: 1-12 holes determines card value
You may also want to put all of the holes for 1-12 on the left side so that it can be read easily when you have a full hand. It would be a pain to check both sides if you have more than just a few cards in your hand at one time. Maybe have the one row of 6 and when you go above six, just add another row right beside the first. That way the numbers can be scanned in groups of 2 like the picture I've attached
The yellow numbers wouldn't actually be punched into the card...
They just show how it could be counted with a thumb or pointer finger.
But yeah, I get the point. I'll try it next time and se which one does miguel prefer.
Just one problem, you'd be able to see what hand he has XD
In the last step is explained how to make the holes invisible to the rest of the players.
Great job.

This legitimate ascending and descending machine, is outfitted with Shimano Tiagra components and utilizes GT's patented proprietary frame design to deliver comfort and confidence with every stroke of the pedals. The Attack is available exclusively at Performance.
Every great bike begins with a great frame. The 6061 aluminum frame is built for improved handling and lights-out speed at a moment's notice. The frame features sloping geometry for added comfort and a more upright body position. This position reduces neck, back and wrist strain while improving visibility.

Finally, the Attack frame features impact reduction seat stays, which are positioned lower on the seat tube than traditional seat stays. The stay position enhances ride comfort by displacing vibration proportionally throughout the rear triangle.
The Attack 2.0 features a Shimano Tiagra compact 20-speed drivetrain. Tiagra shares Shimano's top groups' engineering lineage offering greatly enhanced feel and a sleek design backed by new levels of performance. The Tiagra Dual Control Levers feature a reach adjustable ergnomic design and integrated Optical Gear Display. They are easy to use with a simple flick of your wrist. The 10-speed Tiagra rear derailleur integrates the wide link design prominently featured in both Dura-Ace and Ultegra derailleurs to not only promote quick shifting, but to preserve the pivots for greater durability and long term crisp shifting performance.
Jalco DRX 4000 wheels offer great support and reliability. They are outfitted with a set of Continental Ultra Sport 25c width tires. The Ultra Sports offer low rolling resistance with excellent grip and durability. They're a great all-purpose tire and offer enhanced durability thanks to their multi-layer casing.

Ray Horton: Wilson's benching won't change his role with team
But even the five-time Pro Bowler is not immune to a demotion now and again.
Wilson, who has 34 tackles and an interception on the season, did not start in the Cardinals' 23-19 loss to Atlanta Falcons.
The 11-year veteran declined to comment after the game, saying little more than that the decision was not his to make.
Head coach Ken Whisenhunt later said the decision was made to improve pass coverage -- an area Wilson hasn't been extremely effective in this season -- and that overall he was pleased with the results (season-high five interceptions) against the Falcons.
Friday, defensive coordinator Ray Horton said the move was done for more reasons than just schematic purposes.
"Hopefully the message that's being sent to everybody is that's important to do your job and do your job well," Horton said. "When you're in there it's not a right, it's a privilege to be in there and play defense."
Despite the benching of his star safety to begin last Sunday's contest, Horton doesn't expect Wilson's role to change at all.
"We're just trying to tweak some things and get some guys some opportunities," said Horton. "So where does [Wilson] fit in? Right where he's been. He's one of the leaders of our team."
Rashad Johnson, who started in place of Wilson, made the most of his opportunities in Atlanta. The fourth-year safety intercepted Matt Ryan's first pass of the game, which set up the Cardinals' lone touchdown.
Wilson's consecutive start streak was actually snapped earlier this season, when injuries to his groin and ankle kept him from playing in Arizona's Week 3 win over Philadelphia.

Russell Peters doesn't read what's said about him on the
Internet. Too many liars.
"The Internet is one of those places where people can put anything out
there. They can fabricate. They can say what they want about you. And
everyone's an internet tough guy. And I don't have the patience to read what
some dork sitting in his bedroom says or what his opinion is or what he thinks
I may be like," Peters tells Guy MacPherson on his comedy blog, What's So
"Until you've met me and we've had some sort of interaction, you can't
really say. People speculate. And people never speculate somebody's nice; they
always speculate that somebody's a dick. Especially with me, they see the
persona on stage and they just automatically assume I'm this cocky guy. And
that's not who I am at all."
"I'll give you an example. I have something like 230,000 or 240,000
followers on Twitter. Ninety-nine percent of the time people are saying nice
things and then there's that one person who says something f----ed up and
that's what sticks in my head the most. That bothers me more than all the
compliments because I'm like, 'Well, what's your problem?' Not like, 'Why can't
you go along with everyone else?' but 'What have I done to you that you've
decided to be this tough guy on the internet?'"

I have questions about what brand of car seat and strollers to get for my baby I hear the evenflo and graco is the best you can get does anyone have any advice on this type of thing? We haven't done our regstry yet since we don't know what we are having yet but we will on March 10 we are getting excited about it.
Thanls again Brittany( Smilie4545)
For a stroller, you may want to have a few different ones, but we use the Snap n Go stroller. Your baby's car seat carrier snaps right in and is essential for running errands and not wanting to wake baby. As for car seats, there are so many out there and lots of considerations... I would just go to the store, check them over, and see which ones have the best combination of price, safety and other features.
We got the jeep liberty stroller and it is great!!! You can push through snow, sand, bumps, etc. It tells you on the stroller what car seats are compatable with it. We have the graco snug n fit. The good thing is you pick up the car seat and put it right in the stroller and there you go. Good Luck!!
definitely look for a car seat that is convertible. Rear-facing up to the one year/40pound rule, and then able to turn it around to face front and be able to go up to 100lbs. it's pointless to buy a carseat that doesn't go to the maximum of 100 lbs....they are expensive! we have one from Safety 1st, and it reclines in three positions so if your little one falls asleep, presto! instant comfort :)
the only problem with the JEEP strollers and similar ones is that you have to monitor the air pressure in the tires, like a bike. not so convenient when there are no air pumps around!
We have the "chico key fit" carseat and stroller combo and LOVE it! Take into consideration the weight of the carseat with out the base... some of them are a little heavy and as little as the babies are when they are born, they get heavy- fast! Also somthing to look at is how hard is it to adjust the straps on the car seat... the key fit is super easy, but my sister has a graco that is crazy hard to adjust! Good luck!!
We have the Baby Trend Flex-Loc Car seat and love it. I love the fact that I dont have to rethread the straps as our son grows, you just turn a lever and it moves the car seat head/straps up. We have the stroller to go with it, but recently bought the Baby Trend Expedition Jogging stroller to go with it and love that too. The Baby Trend Snap n GO stroller is great for being on the go to just quickly run in somewhere you dont want to grab a huge stroller with. 3 strollers one little boy, but the stroller that came with the travel system is good for the mall, the Jogging stroller we use for walks/jogging because its less bumpy then the stroller that came with it(you can opt to get the jogging stroller with the travel system) and the Snap N Go is great for short quick trips!!! Good luck on your stroller buying adventure. But just make sure you play with everything in the store(Babies R Us has a great selection) and buy whatever works best for you and your babys father, thats whats most important-well and safety of course!!!
I LOVE my Chicco Key Fit 30 and will be using it again soon for my 2nd baby. I definitely rec an infant seat that detaches from the base b/c it will make trips out much easier so you don't have to wake a sleeping baby. If you're looking for something that can take you from infancy to booster, I have the Sunshine Kids Radian 80 and it's approved to be rear facing and 5 lbs to forward facing and 80 lbs. I really love this car seat too and if I were only able to make a 1 time purchase of a carseat I would def go w/ this one. I personally liked the convenience of a travel system though. Also, the Chicco stroller can be collapsed w/ one hand and when my son was a little bigger and I would take him out of the car seat and let him ride directly in the stroller he often fell asleep on shopping trips. I could fully recline him and he would get precious sleep while I got in precious shopping time! It also helped to not have to change him in nasty public bathrooms b/c the snack tray swings out of the way and I would recline the stroller and change him right there in his stroller.

+1 Need 64bit support yesterday
Adobe, what are the issues in making fb4 64 bit from 32?
Just out of interest, I do php, java and flex. Do you reccomend getting a bare bones Helios and then installing the Java,PDT stuff from the main update site? Then install FB4 plugin.
+1 64bit.
Why do we need a 64 bit plugin?
I've been using the 32 bit plugin on a 32 bit machine with a 32 bit Springsource Toolsuite as my Eclipse IDE.
On my new 64 bit setup, Adobe forced me to run my 64 bit Springsource Toolsuite version of Eclipse spearate from the 32 bit standalone FlexBuilder. Turns out I want to edit a few simple XML and HTML files in my Flex project. Surprise - Flexbuilder grants me a plain old text editor to do it with! Well, ok, how hard can it be to go get an XML editor plugin into Flexbuilder? It's Eclipse after all.
So, I try to get the XML editor from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios=> Web, XML, Java EE Devlopment Tools=> Eclipse XML Editors and Tools. Surprise! (See Below.) Dealing with this is just too far away from any productive work. What I'd like is a 64 bit plugin that I can stick back in my 64 bit STS and get on with my work.
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

A 64bit version of the plugin is a major demand for our company.
I'm currently facing huge issues when working with the 32bit version of eclipse and flash builder.
My workspace holds 137 projects and is constantly growing and i'm experiencing a steady increase in crashes related to memory issues.
We are currently in the evaluation process for a flash builder replacement because of this.
Thanks for providing some context around why you need a 64 bit version.
I'm interested to understand why you're working with 137 projects in a workspace - are all of these related to a single application that you're working on, or are you working on a number of discrete applications at any one point in time? Can you provide an estimation as to the number of files contained within those projects and also the total number of lines of code (MXML/AS)?
If you'd prefer to provide more context off-list then please email me: shorten at adobe.com.
Thanks again for your help.
Andrew Shorten,
Group Product Manager, Developer Tools, Adobe
Hello Andrew,
We are building a larger scale portal-like enterprise application.
My workspace is entirely dedicated to this project and consists of java(-ee) as well as flex projects.
A quick survey revealed the following numbers:
~500 .mxml files having ~35000 LOC
~1600 .as files -> ~140000 LOC
~5000 .java files -> ~450000 LOC
Total # files: ~17000 (this includes resources, eclipse files, build scripts etc)
Those numbers do not contain any third party libs/classes or flex sdk files.
I'm currently running eclipse using -Xmx768M -Xss128K -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
If i increase the maximum heap, i'm facing errors like "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread".
My current setup allows me to work around half a day without an eclipse crash.
Thanks for your help.
Thank you to those providing additional detail about why you're looking for a 64bit version of Flash Builder - the information about the size and complexity of projects (not just for Flex, but also corresponding Java projects, etc) really does help.
Unfortunately, providing a 64bit version of Flash Builder is a more complex than might first appear, due to the number of libraries and components that Flash Builder is dependent upon, both from other teams within Adobe and externally.
We are however working on our plans for future versions of Flash Builder and are tracking the requirement for a 64bit version of the product as a high priority. I am sorry that I can't provide specific information as to when 64bit Eclipse will be supported, but I will follow up on this thread when we can share details. In the meantime, we are continuing to make significant memory and performance improvements for Flash Builder 4.5 (codename "Burrito") and so I hope you will see some improvements in that release.

if adobe wants to remain competitive as a player in the digital era we are living in, it needs to do more than just stay current, they need to stay ahead of the times. we need hardware accelleration, we need updates and enhancements to the language, to the IDE, we need it now now now.
Hi Andrew,
we are a company with 10 developers. We have a pretty big project that consists of about 10 library projects and 1 application that depends on them all.
We use mac os. We usually start flash builder ( eclipse ) with -Xmx1536m - as this is the max supported on 32 bit jvm on mac os.
We have to restart flash builder each few hours as it gets extremely slow. We need to be able to start flash builder with more memory, so please do consider 64bit helios based flash builder as a really high priority task !
We are using flex for really big apps, not just small RIA, banners and small stuff like that.
Also: Please do consider Linux version of flash builder ! We were forced to invest in macs only because of flash builder. We don't want to use windows for religious reasons about which i really don't want to argue
End users might not be using linux, but developers do use linux !
+11 Firmly in need of 64bit support - it won't be long before we will be unable to continue building. Tweaking eclipse.ini and moving to faster work stations can only take us so far.
Adobe must support Large Scale Application development

Adobe, seriously not cool.
I mean, come on!
We live in an age of openness.
How can Adobe claim to be competitive/compliant/advanced if it does not join the rest of the world? windows 64 bit is years old now, and so is Java and eclipse.
This is just classic Adobe mentality, and is what's threatening it's downfall, due to the widely agreed supremacy of things like JQuery and HTML5. Not because they are better, but because they adhere to standards, their power is in collaboration with technologies, not from enforcing them!
You can not live in a bubble and still be competitive. You are not stable if you just say you are while blaming your developers and not advanced if others are way past you in conforming to advances in technology.
What I see here are people begging Adobe to let them be their customers, and a bunch of excuses for what should be a non-issue.
People are saying they need the extra kick that 64-but provides, and they get answered that their projects should not be this large, or that they should use less plugins?
if you want to talk to Java, you should speek it's language. That of community, openness, and technological progress.
And don't even get me started on the support for 64-bit linux...
but I guess, to paraphrase google chrome's crash report:
+1 for 64-bit support as well.
[This is a repost of a comment I posted on the corresponding bug's JIRA entry]
Hi All-
Not to start any sort of inflammatory dialog here, but I've been watching this topic very closely for quite some time now; both here in the forums and abroad on the net and I've realized the lack of 64-bit Eclipse support is simply unrealistic from a software company which claims its products can be used at the enterprise level. To assume that a single 32-bit version of the plugin is sufficient for every customer's needs is naive and narrow-minded. Brian Kotek posted a comment on this issue (2011-03-11) as did others regarding the amount of memory needed to be productive while developing a real-world application and he's right on the money. To add to his sentiment, and I'm fairly certain I'm not alone on this, but I use the plug-in installation of Flash Builder 4/4.5 primarily because rarely, if ever, do I develop on a project where the only technology utilized is Flash/Flex/AIR or combination thereof. Eclipse allows me to use multiple perspectives to conduct development in various technologies in one IDE. This is why 64-bit is really essential, and not because it's the latest and greatest mind you. Running a single IDE to develop in multiple languages/platforms requires a substantial amount of memory. Furthermore, if I am developing an application which includes a server component or if I'm developing a mobile application (potentially and most likely for multiple devices) I'll have some sort of application server running or running multiple device emulators at once, respectively. As a result, developing in N number of technologies/tiers requires considerably more memory, albeit significantly less memory than running multiple IDEs. It seems as if the decision to not support 64-bit may have stemmed from looking at Flash Builder (and how it is used in the wild) in a vacuum or in isolation excluding all the additional applications which may be running on a developer's workstation at any given time. I really hope Adobe understands this and realizes this truly is an essential requirement for its customers, because if they don't I'm afraid it won't be much longer before developers and technology decision-makers realize developing for the enterprise with these so-called enterprise-level applications and their corresponding platforms is also unrealistic.

Thank you for your feedback on this issue.
I can confirm that we understand the requirement for 64 bit support and are working on plans to offer a compatible version of Flash Builder.
Unfortunately I cannot provide a date for availability at this stage. We'll provide more details in due course.
Andrew Shorten
Group Product Manager, Adobe
Hi Andrew,
Thank you for that.
Might I add that 64 bit support is now even more important then ever with
Flex becoming a more valid mobile player. We need to provide at least 256MB
for a mobile emulator of choice.
Also, FDT provides 64 bit support since version 4.2 released in Febuary.
This alone should explain the need for Adobe to catch up.
I like the 4.5 trial I got, I think it's a kick-butt software, but the
productivity and comfort
issues stated herein will take there toll on your customer base.
Thanx again.
Hi Andrew-
Thanks for the prompt reply to my comment; it is greatly appreciated. It is definitely encouraging to know a 64-bit version is, at the very least, on the horizon. Again, I hope my comments were not taken to be inflammatory or overly critical. My intention was merely to convey that this is becoming more of an issue and a pain point for developers who are investing resources in and committing to the Flash Platform, as a whole. As long as there is some relief in sight for this issue in the near future, I'm sure a lot of folks will be much more at ease going forward. Thanks again for your response and best of luck to you and your team with the 64-bit release.

Being able to use a 64-bit JRE in flash builder would be awesome. The 1gb memory limit of 32-bit eclipse/java is annoying. I get out-of-memory errors multiple times a day in FB.

+1 for 64 flash builder!
+1 for x64 support!
Our team is consistently working with large Flex/Air applications that integrate with many other backend technologies. Unfortunately, the memory limitations of 32 bit eclipse installations are a severely limiting factor when we are trying to work on the entirety of the project within a single workspace. Furthermore, the memory profiler in Flash Builder quickly becomes unusable during large application development because it can't get the resources it needs to run effectively.
Please, Adobe, hear our cries! Give us FlashBuilder x64!
P.S. Please also explain the current limitations to delivering one.
+1 here
I am running into that java heap error. And why haven't you release an IDE in AIR? Do I need to program this too? It would make the application OS independent!
Thomas Pickett
Note that the FlashBuilder is an eclipse plugin and eclipse itself is OS independant (as long as SWT is supported on the platform).
On the other hand linux support has been dropped as of AIR 2.6 - so the only supported (desktop) platforms are Windows and Mac OS.
And of course there is an x64 version of eclipse as well as an x64 edition of the JRE available, which is not the case for AIR or flash in general.
I think i will adobt IWantToLikeAdobe's google chrome quote as my signature on this forums:
Shame on you, Adobe!
First: Eclipse is not OS independant.
Second: Why 64bit? Because it is starting to get hell to compile a enterprise level flex application using a 32bit process which can only use a minimal amount memory. Arrrggg.
I'm working for about 6 months now for my first flex client using flex builder and already fed up with it. Back to HTML/jQuery for me.

Research/Clinical Interest
HIV-Host Interactions and Fas-Mediated Apoptosis
Structural Basis for HIV Gag interactions with Cellular Constituents: Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), the causative agent of AIDS, is blamed for over 34 million deaths and is poised to claim over 2 million lives a year in the absence of efficient therapeutic intervention. HIV-1 replication is strongly dependent on the cellular machinery to produce progeny virus. Since its discovery, efforts have focused on the development of effective vaccines and drugs that target different stages of the HIV lifecycle. Combinations of drugs that target protease, reverse transcriptase, integrase or virus fusion form the basis of current antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, the genetic diversity and the ability of the virus to mutate to evade drug treatment remains a threat to the future success of ART. The discovery of cellular factors that participate in HIV-1 replication pathways has provided new insights into the molecular basis of virus–host cell interactions. Drugs that target the essential interactions of viral factors with host-proteins have the potential to not only complement current therapy, but may also overcome the problem of viral escape. As host-factors are stable and not diverse, the mutational capacity of the virus that usually allows for drug escape is thus restricted by the requirement to remain compatible to an invariant host-factor. Elucidation of the molecular interactions between the host cell and HIV are important for understanding the virus replication and the subsequent cytopathogenesis in the infected cell, which will aid in the development of more efficient antiviral drugs. We are interested in the underlying structural basis by which retroviral Gag polyproteins interact with cellular constituents during the virus replication cycle. A major component of our research is directed towards understanding key protein-protein and protein-membrane interactions that are critical for HIV assembly. We employ a set of biochemical, biophysical and structural biology tools to identify the molecular mechanisms governing HIV-1 Gag intracellular trafficking and subsequent assembly on the plasma membrane. Another aspect of our research is to identify small molecule inhibitors that are able to block virus-host protein-protein complexes and ultimately serve as potential anti HIV drugs. The results generated from this research will provide new insights into these mechanisms and identify new attractive targets that will ultimately aid in rational drug design. Structural Basis of Fas-mediated Apoptosis and Mechanism of Inhibition: Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary malignant tumor of the liver and comprises approximately 20% of all hepatobiliary malignancies in the United States. In the last decade, a marked increase in the incidence and mortality from cholangiocarcinoma necessitates an effective search for a therapy regimen. Apoptosis is a strictly regulated process by which abnormal cells are removed from the body without altering the immune system or generating an inflammatory response. Inappropriate apoptosis (enhanced or diminished) is linked to many human diseases including neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, AIDS, and many types of cancers. Cells from a wide variety of human malignancies show a decreased ability to undergo apoptosis in response to various stimuli, which may contribute to the clonal expansion of cancer cells. The apoptotic pathway is normally initiated by cell surface death receptors, which belong to a Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) super family of receptors. The cytoplasmic regions of two major receptors, Fas and TNF-receptor-1 (TNF-R1), share a homologous cytoplasmic region of ~80 amino acids called the death domain (DD). These receptors undergo a conformational change in response to their cognate ligands, allowing them to interact with adaptor proteins such as Fas-associated death domain (FADD). Engagement of Fas by Fas ligand (FasL) initiates a cascade of interactions that lead to activation of specific proteases called caspases (Cysteine ASPartyl-specific proteASES). Fas-FasL interaction leads to activation of caspase 8 (by FADD) and formation of death-inducing signaling complex (DISC). Active caspase 8 then cleaves and activates caspases 3, 6, and 7, which target cellular substrates and ultimately lead to cell death. DISC formation and subsequent protein recruitment is a critical initial step in regulating Fas-mediated apoptosis. There is compelling evidence that Fas interacts with various molecules, suggesting that Fas signaling is complex and regulated by multiple proteins. Among these is calmodulin (CaM), which is recruited into DISC in cholangiocarcinoma cells. It has been hypothesized that Fas-CaM interaction may affect Fas-FADD interaction and thus regulates DISC assembly and inhibits apoptosis in cholangiocarcinoma cells. Thus, Fas-CaM interaction appears to be an inhibitory component of DISC and may play a vital role in obstruction of caspases activation. Our lab is interested in understanding the structural determinants of Fas-CaM interaction, which will be critical to understanding the precise molecular mechanism of Fas-mediated apoptosis and mechanism of inhibition. These studies will likely lead to developing new strategies to develop inhibitors of these interactions and thus to cancer treatment.

"have ordered from joespetmeds for the last few years have never had a problem always get what i asked for in a timely manor 6-10-2013"
"Just received my first shipment from Joe's: very satisfied and will order again. Received 2 x 12 month supply of Revolution for Cats in about 14 days to St. Louis, MO (shipped from Australia) at an approximate 30% discount to the nearest online competitor. The Revolution that I obtain locally says on the package "For cats 5.1-15 lbs in weight...." and "Six single-close tubes each containing 0.75 mL (45 mg) of selamectin" and "Distributed by Pfizer Animal Health, Div. of Pfizer Inc., NY NY 10017. The package from Joe's says "For cats of 2.6-7.5 kg body weight", and "6 single close tubes each of 0.75 mL containing 45 mg Selamectin", and "Made in USA by Pfizer Inc. for: Pfizer Animal Health, A division of Pfizer Australia Pty Ltd, 38-42 Wharf Road, West Ryde. NSW 2114" Expiration date 12/2014.
THIS PRODUCT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE UNITED STATES, exported to Australia with slightly different packaging, and when you order from Joe's they ship it right back to the States at a big discount."
I ordered 300.00 worth of meds over two weeks ago. They have yet to arrive (15 days). I have made several attempts to contact them through their e-mail address. They have not responded. They charged my bank account and then did nothing. There is no way other than e-mail to contact this merchant. Use your own judgement here, but I will not order anything else from them. It was a very expensive lesson, but I have learned it well."
"I have used them for several years and no problems. BUT this latest (April) batch of Advantage (both dogs and cat) is not working? I do not understand why? Years ago I discontinued Frontline because fleas had developed resistances...was a problem all over the southern states. I live on an Ga. island...sandy and warm which equals major fleas.
Hopefully it is not the product.
If the fleas continue, I may have to switch companies."
"I have made several purchases from Joe's Pet Meds and have always been very pleased with every aspect of the transactions. I was worried the first time I ordered from them several years ago because they had such extremely lower prices than anyone else and because they are not here in the US, but have never had any problem. We've been getting the Advocate (aka Advantage Multi here in the US) for both our 3 cats and 1 dog. These are sealed packages from Bayer and exactly the same as the Advantage Multi sold here. We are very happy and will continue to order from Joe's. Only one small problem after my first order with Joe's. Had two small charges to my credit card to some perfume shop in Thailand. Called my credit card customer service and they instanly removed the bogus charges (which only added up to about $7.00). I don't know if it had anything to do with my transaction with Joe's (i.e. stolen credit card numbers...), but it was only a few days after. All in all I'd rate them a 5 out of 5 on all my transactions with them."
"I have been using Joe's Pet Meds for 3 years and, never a late shipment (in fact, amazingly fast coming from Aust. to VA, their customer service has been perfect. Besides ordering for my dogs and cat, I also order supplies for rescue animals and have them shipped to another address, never a slip up. I highly recommend them. If you want the very same meds that we pay double (at least) for here in the US, this is the place."
"I have ordered Frontline Plus from joe's two years in a row. The product I received was the real deal and it worked great. I will be ordering from them again this year."
"I placed an order with Joes Pet Meds on April 8th. They sent a confirmation telling me I would have the merchandise in 4-10 business days on April 10th. I have never received my order, and have emailed Joes 3 times with no response. I am very frustrated, and will ot be using them again."
"Been using them for a decade. No problems, and they've always responded to emails rapidly.
I have 5 cats, so Frontline Plus gets pretty expensive.
The exception was 2010 when the exchange rate was unfavorable and I used vetshoponline.com"
"Follow-up to my last review:
It is more difficult than it should be to contact them. I did finally receive an answer from their customer service "team". They claim to have re-sent my order. I'm not going to hold my breath; but I will follow-up here and let you know if I ever receive my merchandise."
"We had a very bad experience trying to place an order on line. This was not the first time we used Joe's, but it will be the last. My wife attempted to place an order for a 6-month's supply. The order came to about $90 US. The website kept saying "continue", but she never was able to get a confirmation. She finally logged off and checked our bank account. Joe's Pet Meds had put eleven (11) orders pending on our bank account!! That was about $1000! Of course there was no way to call Joe's because of their being in Australia, and they give no phone number on their website. We contacted our bank and were eventually able to file 11 claims to get our money back. We have received our credits that way. My wife wrote an email to Joe's, and they did reply saying they were having problems. We will not be using or recommending Joe's Pet Meds."
"I have been ordering from Joe's Pet Meds for the past year and I have never been more happier. I don't have to wait for my order it's here within 5 to 10 days at the latest, the meds are always exactly what they state they are and identical to what US products are. My animals have no fleas, no ticks, and have been heart worm, and all other worm free as they are tested regularly as they are my pride and joy and their health is as important as mine. Just in them they are truly NO. 1."
"i just wanted to throw in that i have been very happy with the items i have ordered from joe's, that they have arrived quickly (i ordered on the 9th, they showed up on my porch on the 14th), and were exactly what i expected, at about 1/3 less the price. they do use items manufactured by merial australia, but there is no reason to believe that these are inferior in any way to the same items manufactured in the us. my dog has no fleas, and she is apparently healthy, so i am happy."
"I have been using Joe's Pet Meds for several years now. They are great. I always order Advocate for my 3 cats because it's the same as Advantage Multi here in the states, and at about HALF the price. I live in Florida, and I always get my order within one week. Those who claim this site is a scam must be confused with another site."
"I had a terrific experience with Joe's. I accidentally ordered frontline plus instead of Advantage. When the frontline arrived, I emailed and asked if I could return the item. I was told that I could write return to sender on the box and pop it in the mail.
I then realized the company is in Australia. I was not certain if this would suffice to get the order back to Australia as I do alot of overseas business and know that a customs form is generally needed.
I went to the post office and indeed needed the form and did the form, paid the postage of about $8.00 which I gladly paid as it was my error. In a few days, the credit appeared back on my card for the returned frontline.
I have reordered the Advantage.
Other than receiving inaccurate shipping information, I found the customer service to be timely and courteous."

I had the great pleasure of working in my former classroom today and it reminded me of why the three-year cycle in Montessori classrooms is so beneficial, not least of all, to the teachers.
Our Montessori preschool classrooms are composed of a mixed-age group of children who remain, ideally, in one classroom for three years. A child starts at age three and stays through her Kindergarten year. This is called the three year cycle. Each of those years brings new and unique learning opportunities for the child. As a three-year-old, the child observes her older peers and benefits from their experience. As a four-year-old, she starts to see herself as one of the "big kids" and expands her social circle. In her Kindergarten year she is recognized as a leader and takes pride in helping others.
When I took a sabbatical at the end of the school year in May, I left behind children who had been in my classroom for one or two years. I was able to catch up with many of those students today when I visited the classroom. I observed that two of "my" third-year students, I'll call them S and K, were part of what Montessorian John Chattin-McNichols calls a "roving pack of 5-year-olds." They were wandering around with some other boys and mixing it up a little. I knew these two boys when they were just barely three years old. I knew them before they could consciously control their bodies at group time and even before they could dress themselves successfully. Now, here they were - big, bold 5-year-olds and I was curious to see who they had become eight months after we last worked together.
Angie, my dear friend and the lead teacher of my former class, shared with me that S and K had been working on the squaring and cubing chains in the math area, so I asked them about those activities. They were eager to show me what they had already done and tell me what came next. Within a few minutes, they broke off from the pack and were ready to master the 10 cubing chain.
The 10 cubing chain - or 1000 chain - is a concrete representation of 10 cubed. It's made up of one thousand pea-sized beads organized into bars of ten. The bars of ten are attached at the ends to make a chain. Children are ready for this work after they have mastered the 1 - 10 squaring chains and the 1 - 9 cubing chains. This video from the DuPage Montessori School in Naperville, Illinois provides a good overview of how the squaring and cubing chains are presented in the Montessori classroom.
The 10 cubing chain is nearly 30 feet long so it must be laid out in the hallway outside the classroom. So, off to the hallway we went.
S and K divided up the tasks between themselves. One carried the rolled-up mat and the other carried the chain. We established the space we would use in the hallway and K unrolled the mat while S went back into the classroom for the number tabs. We discussed how they would sort the tabs on the tray and move it down the mat as they worked.
S found the 1000 tab. He knew it went at the very end of the chain but he left it on the tray. There was a pause before they started and I asked what number they would start with. S said, "We have to count them all."
That is certainly one way to do it. But when a child is ready for the 1000 chain, he is generally ready to complete it without counting every number because he can now count by tens and hundreds. Once you trust that 10 is ten, you don't have to count it again.
I asked if they thought they could first put tabs on the hundreds. Yes! They were sure they could. Together, we counted the bars as 10, 20, 30 and so on until we got to 100. S got the 100 tab and marked that spot. K quickly grasped the system and immediately went to work sorting out all of the hundreds tabs in a separate group so that S could place them. This was my cue to find something else to do. I went back inside the classroom to assist Miss Angie while the boys marked off every 100th bead on the chain with the appropriate tab.
They repeated the process, stopping after each bar of ten. K was the sorter, S was the placer. "150! I need 150," S said. K had it ready. There was never any disagreement, that I heard, over who would do which task. They just got started and they each found their niche as they went. And they were really digging their work.
They started the cubing chain work at 9:45 and I checked in with them every few minutes. They finished at 11:00. One of them stopped to use the bathroom then went straight back to his work. Other children would step into the hall to see what was happening and then go back inside to their work.
Sometimes I checked on S and K without speaking and other times I acknowledged their progress. Once, I said I would be back to check on them in a bit unless they needed some help. "We need some help," S said. They could not find the tab for 590. I suggested they leave a space for that number and they could put it there when they found it. They never found it, but they were able to move on without hesitation.
As they got to the very end, S picked up the 1000 tab and started to place it under the 1000th bead. K said, "Hey! We decided we would put that one on together!" And so they did. That's when this photo was snapped.
If you had asked me three years ago if these children were developing normally and if they were going to learn to read and write and grow up to be compassionate humans I would have responded, "Of course they will!" But in the back of my head there would have been a tiny voice saying, "What if they aren't? What if they are never able to sit in a chair for more than 8 seconds? What if they never learn to put their shoes on by themselves? What if they show no interest in reading? What if they always write six as 9?"
That doubtful voice is a familiar one to parents because most of us only get to experience the development of one or two children. We fear we will do something wrong and our children will not achieve their potential. Preschool teachers should know better because we get to observe hundreds of children over the course of our careers, right? But sometimes, even with years of experience, we forget that our job is simply to prepare a nourishing environment. It is the child who must do the work of building the man.
In 1949, Maria Montessori offered us some guidance in our quest to relax and trust that each child will reveal himself as a competent and confident being in his own time. In The Absorbent Mind she wrote, "...for while, in the traditional schools, the teacher sees the immediate behavior of her pupils, knowing that she must look after them and what she has to teach, the Montessori teacher is constantly looking for a child who is not yet there."
Dr. Montessori also implemented the three-year cycle in our classrooms to give us enough time to look for that child and see him before he moves on to primary school.
I am not at all surprised that S and K can count to 1000 by tens and hundreds. I am not surprised that they can recognize 3-digit numerals or that they can prepare, complete, and put away their work. I am not even surprised that two 5-year-old boys willingly work together on a math material for 1 hour and and 15 minutes with only a bathroom break and very limited guidance. I've seen it before.
I am surprised at the sense of joyous relief I feel each time children reveal themselves in this way. It's an experience that never gets old. I suppose that's the ultimate reward of being a teacher.
Somdatta and Felicia of the Canoe Birch Class and Cathy and Mary of the All-Day Program invited the children to tell who and what they are thankful for and then wrote their answers on leaves. Each class has a paper tree by the door displaying the children's gratitude. As this Thanksgiving Day draws to a close I thought it would be nice to share the gratitude of these 3, 4, and 5-year-olds with all of you.
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
Today's Wayback Wednesday comes from March, 2000. The children in Room B were treated to a science presentation by a group of MSGL parents.
These parents must have been SO COOL! We are thankful for all of the Montessori parents and grandparents who have shared their interests and their time with our children over the past 41 years. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
We're keeping things simple on Wayback Wednesday this week with a short and sweet little collection of photos from October, 2002. Teacher Judy West took the children of the Red Oak class on a nature hike to Purdue's Horticulture Park to enjoy the crisp morning, collect leaves, and hug some very deserving trees.
Do you have favorite photos you would like to share on Wayback Wednesday? Please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Have an outstanding Wednesday!
First, I will start with what I saw this week. This was my favorite moment.
Another photo. If you are familiar with Humans of New York, the book and website by Brandon Stanton, then I know you can relate. If not, I know you can relate.
Children dress so fabulously and so beautifully because they have not yet learned that other people are judging their choices. They wear what they like. I want to wear what I like but I feel childish. How old will I grow before I truly understand that being childish is the truest way to be?
And, one more photo.
And now, for what I heard.
1. I erroneously asked a child how she was enjoying her Kindergarten year at MSGL. She responded, "I'm not IN Kindergarten. That's why I'm HERE!"
2. "That's a small story."
3. A friend was reading me a note from his lunch box. "Look! Look it! It says I'm going to my grandma's house. And I think I'm gonna get a Spiderman hat when we go to the store."
4. "Yeah. Let's do our maps."
5. "Where's the damn lizard?"
Rest easy. That darned lizard was found.

AUSTIN -- The doors are open for the Darrell K Royal auction. Potential bidders are sorting through the collection at the Austin Auction Company warehouse in Northwest Austin. The auction is on Sunday but interested bidders are inspecting the collection before it goes on the block.
The "Royal Collection" is 250 pieces strong. The items are garnering a lot of attention with the passing of the esteemed former Longhorn football coach.
Royal and his wife Edith had planned to auction off personal items and sports memorabilia before his passing.
The collection includes Texas and American flags from Apollo missions. One framed flag includes a photo of an astronaut giving the camera a 'Hook 'em Horns' sign.
However, the sports memorabilia locked up behind glass cabinets and carefully laid out on the auction tables is expected to lure in more eyes.
There are championship rings available to bidders. All of them start at $800. Bidding on commemorative footballs signed by Coach Royal start at $500 and official program books begin auctioning off at $50 each.
"Absolutely amazing," said Chris Mitchell. "I mean it's a neat piece of history and just amazing artifacts and looking at different things that he's had and the heritage of the University of Texas carries here. Amazing. Absolutely beautiful stuff."
One item Edith Royal couldn't add to the auction collection is coach Royal's prized T-Ring. It's the one he wore daily.
Several bids are already on the table from online bidders. The inspection will continue Friday, Saturday and again Sunday morning before the live auction Sunday afternoon.
Part of the proceeds will go to the DKR Alzheimer's Research Fund named in honor of coach Royal who battled the disease.
He died Tuesday evening. He was 88.

The Swords and Shields ceremony is an important Blizzard tradition that began fifteen years ago in 1996. With this ceremony, we recognize the years of dedication and commitment of those who help Blizzard create the most epic entertainment experiences...ever. Several times a year, Blizzard employees around the world gather to celebrate the five-, ten-, and fifteen-year milestones of their friends and colleagues with a ceremony where each recipient is honored with their service award. Five years of service are awarded a sword; ten year veterans receive a shield; fifteen years of service is recognized with a special ring; and this year marks the first time Blizzard employees will celebrate twenty years of service.
The type of sword given to five-year recipients is different each year, but the shield and ring designs have remained largely unchanged. We now present a gallery of the swords and shields that have been handed out over the years in recognition of the hard work, great resolve, and unwavering dedication that has helped make Blizzard the company you know today.

Bug bites and stings introduction
Warm weather makes it easier to spend more time outdoors, but it also brings out the bugs. Ticks are usually harmless. But a tick bite can lead to Lyme disease, which is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The bacteria are transmitted to people by the black-legged deer tick, which is about the size of a pinhead and usually lives on deer. Infected ticks can also cause other diseases, such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Another insect-borne illness, West Nile virus, is transmitted by infected mosquitoes and usually produces mild symptoms in healthy people. But the illness can be serious for older people and those with compromised immune systems.
Most reactions to bees and other stinging insects are mild, but severe allergic reactions can be deadly. An allergic reaction can occur even if a person has been stung before with no complications.
Here are tips for preventing and treating bites and stings.
What can I do to keep insects away?
- Use structural barriers such as window screens and netting.
- Avoid wooded, brushy, and grassy areas when possible.
- Don't wear heavily scented soaps and perfumes.
- Use caution eating outside and drinking; don't leave drinks and garbage cans uncovered.
- Don't wear bright colors, which attract bees.
- Wear long sleeves and long pants when possible.
- Tuck pant legs into socks or shoes.
- Wear a hat for extra protection.
- Get rid of containers with standing water that give mosquitoes a breeding ground. Examples include water in flowerpots and outdoor pet dishes.
- Use insect repellent if nonchemical methods are ineffective and you spend time in tall grass and woody areas.
- Treat camping gear, clothes, and shoes with permethrin, which repels and kills ticks, mosquitoes, and other insects. Clothing that is pre-treated with permethrin is also commercially available.

The ability to capture a likeness is perhaps more challenging than anything else in an artist's skill set – but also one of the most satisfying. This short course will give students the opportunity to broaden their range of skills to include a pursuit which is both enjoyable and professionally useful. We will do some short exercises, "clothe"a skull, work from cast heads, practice from photo reference and master drawings; and complete one or more final portraits using photo reference of the students' choosing.
Students should have basic drawing skills to get the most benefit from the course.
• Any inexpensive drawing pad or sketchbook, at least 11×14
• Drawing pencils (graphite) in a range of hardnesses, HB to 6B; in
addition, harder pencils (H2 – H6) if students prefer.
• Kneaded eraser and/or "Magic Rub" eraser.
• Sandpaper or pencil sharpener
• Soft Charcoal sticks or willow vine charcoal
• Charcoal pencils
• White drawing pencil
OR, in place of the 5 or 6 items above,
• "Drawing Class Essentials Kit" containing a similar variety of charcoal and graphite pencils
• 1 or 2 sheets toned Canson Mi-Teintes paper, preferably a medium grey or warm beige
• At least 1 sheet of " good" paper for the final portrait(s) (we will discuss this in class as students
may choose different media for the final portrait)

Tony Win Gives Box Office Boost to 'Kinky Boots'
By PATRICK HEALY
The best musical winner has sold $10 million in advance tickets, still far less than the $21 million in advance sales for "Matilda the Musical."
Friday, April 25, 2014
The crowd-pleasing Broadway show "Kinky Boots" pulled off an upset victory as best musical at the Tony Awards, edging out the onetime front-runner, "Matilda the Musical."
The best musical winner has sold $10 million in advance tickets, still far less than the $21 million in advance sales for "Matilda the Musical."
This Sunday's Tony Awards night was a memorable one for black actors, who won four of the eight acting categories.
Cyndi Lauper, Cicely Tyson, Patina Miller and Billy Porter highlighted the diverse talent being recognized and awarded on Broadway.
The Tony Awards host, Neil Patrick Harris, dazzled the house at Radio City Music Hall with an opening number and finished with an insta-song.
A sampling of Tony voters share their decisions about who will be anointed the best of Broadway.
The choreography in this season's Broadway shows ran the gamut from circus acrobatics to princely magic and character-revealing leaps.
The New York Times asked selected Tony Award nominees to perform scenes from their shows on location in New York City.
All eight actors who have played George and Martha in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" on Broadway have earned Tony Award nominations.
"Kinky Boots," which had a run in Chicago before coming to Broadway, and "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella," with no out-of-town run, both got major surgery because of surveys of preview audiences.
"Matilda the Musical" offers children and adults hope in a reminder that everyone can rewrite their stories.
While Broadway plays seemed moribund this season, some of the work presented Off Broadway was terrific.
Paul Libin, a longtime Broadway executive who worked closely with Arthur Miller, is receiving a Tony Award for lifetime achievement.
The theater critics of The New York Times make their Tony Award choices.
Under a new deal, the network will continue what has already become a 35-year tradition.
Bertie Carvel talks about playing the angry Agatha Trunchbull in "Matilda the Musical."
Kristine Nielsen has a long history with the playwright Christopher Durang, and now she has a Tony nomination.
Benj Pasek and Justin Paul wrote the music and lyrics for the Tony-nominated "Christmas Story" after the original composer was replaced.
Mr. Harris, a star of the CBS comedy "How I Met Your Mother," first hosted the Tonys in 2009 and has won two Emmy Awards for his Tony work.
The theater critics for The New York Times answer readers' questions about musical adaptations, their biggest disappointments of the season and what awards season means.
Traditional song-and-dance shows about scrappy underdogs dominated the Tony Award nominations on Tuesday.
The writer Colm Toibin reflects on his first experience as a Broadway playwright with "The Testament of Mary," which was nominated for a top award and announced its closing on the same day.
Bette Midler, Fiona Shaw, Alan Cumming and Alec Baldwin were among the high-profile performers who were overlooked.

The New York Times invited Tony nominees to perform scenes on location. Here, Santino Fontana and Laura Osnes sing a cinematic interpretation of a song from "Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella."
The New York Times invited Tony nominees to perform on location. In a cinematic adaptation of a scene from "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike," Shalita Grant plays a doom-predicting waitress.
The New York Times invited Tony nominees to perform scenes on location in New York. Rob McClure sings a cinematic interpretation of "The Life That You Wished For" from "Chaplin."
The New York Times invited Tony nominees to perform scenes on location in New York. Here, Billy Porter and Stark Sands sing a cinematic interpretation of "Not My Father's Son" from "Kinky Boots."

Post - 9/11 GI Bill Overview
The new GI Bill provides financial benefits for educational needs to veterans who have served on active duty since September 11, 2001. Benefits include money for college tuition, books and supplies and living expenses. In order to receive your full benefits, you must have served in the Armed Forces for 36 or more total months or 30 consecutive days with a disability related discharge since September 11, 2001. Veterans who are not eligible for full benefits are still eligible to have lower percentages of their tuition paid based on the following service time:
90%: 30 total months
80%: 24 total months
70%: 18 total months
60%: 12 total months
50%: six total months
40%: 90 or more consecutive days
Veterans who have served active duty for at least 10 years can transfer their GI Bill benefits to their spouse or a dependent child. If you have only served six years but agree to another four, your spouse can receive those benefits sooner. In this instance, only the cost of tuition will be covered which does not include the costs of books or room and board. A veteran has up to 15 years after separating from active duty to take advantage of the GI Bill benefits.
Montgomery GI Bill
Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty (MGIB-AD): provides up to 36 months of educational benefits for active duty service members. This is not a loan, but a grant that will cover educational expenses meaning you don't need to pay it back.
Accelerated Payment: you would get lump-sum payments for 60% of tuition and fees for certain high-cost, high-tech programs for one term, quarter or semester at a time. If it is not offered in one of those segments, the Accelerated Payment will be paid for the entire program.
Buy-Up: active duty service members have the option to contribute an additional $600 to increase their MGIB-AD benefits by as much as $5,400 through the Buy-Up option.
Top-Up: allows active duty service members to supplement the Tuition Assistance (TA) offered by their branched of the service. This will cover the costs of a college course that TA does not.
Montgomery GI Bill - Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR): provides up to 36 months of educational benefits for service members in the Reserves. Eligibility for this program ends the day you leave the Reserves unless you are mobilized. If this is the case, your eligibility is extended for the amount of time you are mobilized plus four months.
To apply for either one of the above options, you will need to complete the Application for Education Benefits form and send it to the VA regional office.
Tuition Assistance
Active duty service members can receive up to $4,500 a year for coursework through Tuition Assistance (TA). These funds are paid directly to the schools. All service branches pay 100% of tuition and fees up to $250 a semester credit hour and $166 a quarter credit hour. All branches except the Navy will pay up to $4,500 a fiscal year. The Navy will pay up to 12 semester hours or 18 quarter hours a fiscal year. In some cases, Reserves and National Guard members are eligible.
Other Assistance Programs
Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP): offered instead of the GI Bill to service members who served between January 1, 1977 and June 30, 1985. The government matches every $1 you contribute to the program with $2.
Reserve Educational Assistance Program (REAP): for Selected Reserve and National Guard members who were called to active service on or after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Survivors & Dependents Educational Assistance (DEA): survivors and dependents of certain veterans and service members are eligible for more than $37,000 in educational benefits through DEA. Dependents of veterans who passed away as a result of a service-connected disability, dependents of veterans who are 100% disabled and dependents of service members who are missing in action or captured by hostile force are all eligible.
Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES): independent study, distance-learning, credit for eligible active duty service members and certain veterans and reservists through a Department of Defense organization.
National Call to Service
The National Call to Service (NCS) program offers several incentives to enlistees who complete eight years of continuous military service. Incentives range from a $5,000 bonus after completing the active duty component of NCS to paying off up to $18,000 of student loans. NCS requires two years of active duty service up front, after which different combinations of active duty, Selected Reserve, Individual Ready Reserve and other federal service programs may satisfy the eight-year commitment.
