Ramsey House Plantation
Experience life on America's frontier in the 1797 house with acreage, exhibits and heirloom garden. Once considered "the most costly and most admired house in Tennessee,"it is one of the few surviving houses designed by Tennessee's first formally trained architect, Thomas Hope. In addition to its architectural significance, the house was home to the family of Col. Francis Ramsey and wife, Peggy Alexander Ramsey, influential in the development of Knoxville and the founding of the college that became the University of Tennessee. The Ramseys were responsible for the first steamboat, first steam locomotive and first medical facility. Of their sons, William became Knoxville's first mayor; J.G.M. wrote the first history of Tennessee and served as both a surgeon in the Confederate army and as Treasury Agent. Other sons and daughters also served the Confederacy, including Frank, who was surgeon-in-chief for the Confederate States in Tennessee.

Get ready for a shock if you're thinking about firing up the grill. The Bloomberg Grill Index -- which includes things like lean ground beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, potato chips and ice cream -- is at a record high -- largely because of a jump in beef prices.
Meantime if you shop at Walmart, don't bank on getting that price match. Workers and shoppers say "ad match" guarantees are not applied consistently from store to store. Walmart says it's not a national problem. Meantime Toys R Us is reviewing its strategy after a consumer complaint.
If you have a Chase bank account, it may be a rough weekend. Customers are getting e-mails warning that their debit cards may have lower approval limits than usual, balances won't update, and some online, mobile, phone and ATM transactions will be blocked as the bank upgrades its system.
The Federal Reserve kicks off a two-day meeting on the economy and interest rates. It is expected to keep interest rates near record lows. A stronger than expected report is pending home sales, helping give stocks a boost Monday.
And are you hoping to make more friends? How about toasting with Budweiser's new Buddy Cup? The website "The Drum" says Budweiser's new Buddy Cups contain a built-in chip which makes you instant Facebook friends with people you toast with. This is in Brazil right now -- where Aheuser Bsch Ibev just announced weaker-than-expected beer sales.

While everybody remembers Tetris and Dr. Mario, the original black and white Game Boy played host to a number of addictive puzzle games. You may not remember them now, but games like Boxxle, Kwirk and Daedalus Opus all offered their own unique spin on the genre. Those were good times, back when any harebrained idea could be the next sensation.
Quell Memento reminds me of the Game Boy's early days. It's the kind of simple concept that would have won raves from the critics in 1991. Full page advertisements would have been created in hopes of making it a hot seller at the local KB Toys. Thankfully you don't need an original Game Boy to play this imaginative puzzler, because Quell Memento is now available for the PS Vita.
Here you play a blue bubble that is able to paint other objects. Much like the aforementioned Game Boy puzzlers, Quell Memento shows the action from an overhead perspective. Although you control which direction the bubble moves, players cannot change its direction until it hits a wall. This makes it vitally important to plan your moves ahead of time in order to avoid spikes, dead ends and other nasty obstacles. Paint enough tiles blue and it's off to the next stage.
Of course, it's never that simple. As you progress through the game's 150 stages, new obstacles and objectives will be created. For example, not all levels require color swapping. Many puzzles want you to collect all of the dots. Some stages have flowers you can open and close with a simple touch. Others include tiles that can be pushed around. Mid-way through the game, rays of light are introduced.
Quell Memento successfully avoids becoming monotonous by constantly mixing and matching objectives and obstacles. There's a surprising amount of variety across the stages. Tactics you used to race through one set of levels won't help you when breaking ice blocks or pairing moveable tiles. Each of the game's nine areas features its own unique twist on the theme.
On top of testing your puzzle solving skills, each level features a hidden jewel just waiting to be knocked free. Players do this by smacking up against every part of the wall in hopes of finding one that cracks. A few hits later and out pops a shiny jewel to add to the collection. Some levels will also feature a hidden warp zone that will send them to a brand new puzzle. Between the various hidden items, there's a lot of incentive to go back through completed stages.
If there is one knock against this ingenious puzzler, it's that many stages are far too easy. I was able to breeze through the first eight areas without a problem, never once using my in-game currency to ask for help. The difficulty ramps up at the very end, but the challenge never comes close to what you find in games like Boxxle or Daedalus Opus.
Like many modern puzzle games, Quell Memento offers a vague story that ties the puzzles together. Here you are going through an old man's house cleaning up the clutter. The story is full of obvious metaphors that add nothing to the clever puzzles. On the other hand, the voice overs are mercifully short.
It won't surprise anybody to learn that Quell Memento's strength lies in its puzzle designs, not the presentation. To its credit, the game's interface is gorgeous and there are a few effects late in the game that really stand out. But even that is being purposely polite to an otherwise plain looking game. Thankfully this is the one genre where graphics don't matter.
On the other hand, the music in Quell Memento is among the best I've heard all year. It's an emotional mix of soothing melodies and acoustic guitar. There were times when I stopped playing the game in order to let the music transport me to a more peaceful world.
With 150 levels and an impressive amount of variety, Quell Memento is an easy game to recommend. It harkens back to the heyday of portable puzzlers. The simple gameplay and short levels are perfect for on-the-go gaming, and it's hard to resist the soothing music. It's not the flashiest game on the PS Vita, but Quell Memento is worth remembering.

HARRISONBURG, Va. - The James Madison men's tennis team turned in another strong performance at the ECU Shootout as it notched four doubles victories and two singles wins on day two of the round-robin tournament.

He also took two doubles wins on the day with his partner, senior Ryan Pool (Melbourne, Australia/Braemar (Chattanooga)). Stirling and Pool took down East Carolina's Joran Vliegen and Colin Roller, 8-5, as well as Richmond's Fauchet and Aaron Wicker by a score of 8-4.
Senior Bastien Russo (Lyon, France/Notre Dame des Minimes (Shorter)) won the Dukes' second singles match of the day, defeating Richmond's Will Welte in three sets (6-4, 4-6, 10-5). Russo teamed up with fellow senior Greg Vladimirsky (Staten Island, N.Y./Broward Virtual) to round out the day two doubles wins for JMU. Vladimirsky and Russo won 8-6 against Richmond's Justin Baker and Ethan Dunbar before claiming an 8-6 victory over East Carolina's Ross Nigro and Mario Martinez.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "An expressive nose combines both wood and natural spice elements that add considerable interest to the notably ripe nose cassis, plum and violets. There is excellent richness, size and weight to the very round and suave medium-bodied flavors that possess beautiful depth on the mouth coating finish..
Cellar/Tasting Notes " A discreet touch of oak sets off more elegant aromas of kirsch, sandalwood, anise and clove plus enough earth to remind you that you're very much in Nuits. There is good richness but also fine detail to the firm and serious yet refined flavors that offer a well-integrated tannic spine on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Gerard Perse's tiny vineyard was cropped at 26 hectoliters per hectare, and the final blend was 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc (14.5% alcohol). It boasts great intensity, a dense purple color, and beautiful aromas of sweet mulberries, black cherries, cedar, crushed rocks, and white chocolate as..
Cellar/Tasting Notes ... the 2009 Les Pensees de Lafleur has terrific purity, a serious level of concentration, impressive notes of melted licorice and kirsch liqueur, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. While its tannins are soft, the wine boasts plenty of glycerin and leaves an impressive tactile impression.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Clos des Lambrays is striking. Dark cherries, plums, wild berries, spices and licorice are woven together beautifully in this highly expressive, singular wine. A cool vein of minerality is a common thread as the wine continues to take shape in the glass. There is a beguiling, mysterious..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The rich, round and velvety flavors are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that coats the mouth and buffers the tannins on the firm and exceptionally long finish where, like the Bressandes, the wood resurfaces. This classic Clos du Roi is built to age..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "As is usually the case with this wine when it's young, the nose is restrained to the point of being almost mute though aggressive swirling liberates aromas of earth, spice, red currant and hints of the sauvage. And instead of the robust and well-muscled mid-palate there is an almost caressing..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A much more restrained nose of Granny Smith apples, lemon rind, spice and wet stone hints leads to rich, round and impressively muscular mineral-driven flavors that possess outstanding vibrancy on the very dry, compact and linear finish. This is clearly going to require cellar time to flesh out but..

Looking to partner up with an experienced bee keeper. Anyone looking to grow their business quickly will find this interesting. We need an experienced bee keeper who can bring their own equipment, knowledge, and bees to combine with ours.
Here some of the ways I can help run a successful honey operation:
- 10,000 acres in the North Dakota Turtle Mountains and South Western ND where bees have produced honey and are on now
- Buildings for storage in North Dakota and would consider building a new one with a new extraction setup
- Extracting set up in Minneapolis where I can do most of the extracting
- I also have tractors, trucks, and trailers
- Some labor help with the bees in ND
- Good connections for marketing and a marketing plan to get top dollar for our product. Including two websites that have high traffic.
- 800 suppers with wire frames and willing to buy more
- 32 Frame stainless steel Extractor
- Two wheel carts with 50 gallon barrels.
- Decapper
The land I have in ND is mainly alfalfa and CRP surrounded by lots of trees and crop land... A large percentage of the alfalfa is not cut in until September so it will be in bloom for a long time. The land is also very wet with a number of water holes and small streams running thru it. There are also a number of Choke Cherry and June Berry trees in the area that I would think have the potential to make great honey.
The plan would be I set you up in my locations and do a type of test run to see if we can work well together and the operation can be profitable. If the test run is successful I have investors that are willing to put money in the operation for bees, additional equipment, and some major marketing ideas. I and my investors are looking to buy 400 hives this fall if the operation is a success.
I am willing to commit as much time as possible to the operation. And as stated above I can handle most of the extraction if we use the Minneapolis warehouse.
I do not know a lot about this business but it looks like the numbers make sense. If you think my costs are low and my revenue are high please let me know. I have tried to estimate revenue on the low side and costs on the high side. Here is a quick rundown on a 1600 hive operation we would like to push for 3,000+ hives. Once my initial investment is paid back I am willing to put most of my money back into the business.
These are Proforma statements or estimates on costs that the business would incur in a normal operating year. If for some reason the test run was a total flop I would be willing to not charge rent or even take a percentage of the profits.
Almond Pollination $100 / Hive $160000.00
North Dakota Honey $125.00 / Hive (125lbs @ $1.00) $200000.00
Treatments $50.00 / Hive $80,000
Trucking $80,000
Misc $15,000
Tools/ Parts $4000
Bees $26400
Boxes $15,000
Fuel/Travel $10000
Queen Replacement $9,600
New Queens $16,000
Yard Rent**** $5000
Total Profit $104,000
Our Cut 15% of Net Revenue $15,600
In Your Pocket before Taxes $88,400
**** Yard rent includes using warehouses, storing trucks, using our equipment, winter storage, all 10,000 aces of land we have access too. And about anything else we need to do in order to make this work. Costs will also depend on what you bring to the table as far as equipment etc…
We are open to all ideas and would love to visit with you.

The Forgotten World
Bella is the Princess of the kingdom called Zin. Zin is not really a place but a race of all mythical creatures. From Minotaur to Werewolves. Though there are some that go againt the law and it is Bella's job to find them and kill them. The Cullens know nothing of the world of Zin even though they are a part of it. So when they see a girl who appares human, take down two werewolves they are shocked. Please just give it a try. Rated adult for cussing and off and on gore.
I'm puting a short prologe in the chapter notes that way you know whats going on. Also, werewolves are werewolves wich means thay stand on their hind legs when they are not in humane form.And there are two types of werewolves ones that are from the earth can be killed like humanes but its alot harder and the ones of the moon wich can be killed by silver. PICS. ON BIO.
1. Chapter 1
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1524 Review this Chapter
As Bella confidently walked across the street from the portal she had just came threw, she couldn't help but wonder if the men she was looking for would even be here. They could have ditch by now, but who knows they could have stayed. When she made it to the bouncer, she smiled seductively. While the bouncer, standing a good 11 inches taller than her with black hair and pale skin, gave her a approving smile, and moved away so she could pass, though there were many protesters, she paid them no mind.
When she walked in she smiled at Club Black Wood. Though many would think it was just like any other club Bella love this place. It was a hot spot for all kinds of mythical creatures,and she always loved the passion in a fight, though she only kill the ones that had committed serious crimes against her kingdom, that just gave more passion. While she scanned the premises for the men, she noticed that there where seven vampires, two werewolves of the earth, and one siren. She took note that the vampires were vegetarian, and that most of them were with their mates except the bronzed haired boy who looked to be in his teens, but she could also see how he could be passed as a adult, next to him was a tall lean man with blond hair, holding a small petite woman with spiky black hair, next to them was a brunette female that looked motherly and holding her was a man in his twenty's with blond hair, and dancing on the dance floor was a goddess with blond hair who was dancing with a very muscular man with brown hair, she noted that they looked very strong, and that all of them looked beautiful, but they were not a threat. Next she noticed the siren who was just having a drink to pass the time, she was beautiful too but not as beautiful as the vampires,but again she noticed no threat. But then she saw the werewolves ,of cores in their humane form,they were very muscular and they both had dark brown hair except one had long hair and the other one had medium length hair,she notice that these were the men she was to kill.
Once she saw the werewolves she slowly made it to the DJ booth and told him her name and that she was ready to sing on the stage that they put for small bands that played here sometimes. Luckily she had told the owner,Palindrome, who was a Merrow (Scottish mermaid or merman) and a good friend of her father, that she had to track werewolves to his club, and that the best way to get the men's attention to set her trap in action was to sing . So Bella stepped out onto the stage, wearing a black shiny skirt, with a black velvet shirt , and underneath the shirt and skirt was a flower patterned undershirt and stockings with big lifted boots that had no ties,and a black corset that was over top of the velvet shirt , her hair was long, black, and wavy with a shiny, black head band to keep her bangs out of her eyes, and the only makeup she wore was massacre and eye liner which was really dark to make her eye color pop, well colors because her eyes had many colors in them like blue,green, yellow, and red , and they were specked with black and black was on the outer ring too. Really, she looked like a goth but she really didn't care as long as she looked good, and could kick ass with the outfit on she was fine. When she got to the mic. and had her guitar in hand, she gave the DJ a thumbs up to introduce her. "OK, weres. and vamps. give a big hand to little miss Bella!" Bella almost laughed when she saw the werewolves and vampires look up. She took her black guitar and started to sing.
Telling Layla's story spoken
'Bout how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures
All my complaints shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures
Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive and she knows
How to believe in futures
She stopped singing and she could tell that everyone was entranced by her voice and surprised, even the ones from her kingdom. When she saw that the werewolves were watching her every move she smiled and walked off the stage. When she got to the bar, the bartender gave her a drink almost as soon as she sat down. When she gave him a questionable look he pointed to the werewolves and said, "Those men over there told me that the drink was on them, and so are the rest of the drinks you have," and walked away. After she drank the first drink she told the bartender to give her water the rest of the night and to not tell the men who bought her the drinks . For an hour the werewolves kept paying for drinks for her and she kept drinking water and acting drunk. When the werewolves thought she was drunk enough she told them she had to go and walked out the back door to an ally. When she felt them following her she smiled and turned sharply,grabbed the slick blade that was hidden in her boots, and stood in a defensive pose. To say the werewolves looked surprised was an understatement, they looked complete shocked. Bella laughed and said in a fake sarcastic voice, " What, not expecting that," then she ran at vampire speed and jumped on the back of the long hair one, and quickly took the small cool blade an ran it along the length of the mans neck, every inch she moved the blade was followed with a hot, thick, red, liquid fountaining off of the wound. The man choked on his own blood as he slowly fell to his death. Though it seemed like minutes Bella new it had only been seconds. The other man gave a angry howl and then changed into his werewolf form. At first they stood there in the puddle of the other mans blood, but then the wolf dropped to all fores and ran strait at her. When he jumped to ponce on her she squatted and then took the sharp slick blade that was still covered in blood and ran it down the creature's chest in mid-air. When the werewolf came to a stop he stood there for about two seconds and then fell with half his organs hanging out and blood spraying everywhere. She look around and sigh. "Shit,"she said in a defeated tone , " know I have to clean all this up. You happy," she yelled at the cold bodies. Then she remembered the information that she needed. Slowly she walked over to the first werewolf, since he only had a cut throat, and put her hand over the wound. A dark purple light came from her hand and the wound started to heal. The werewolf quickly shot up to be met with a hand grabbing his throat. Bella, still holding his throat held him so that he was up in the air gasping for air.
"WHERE IS HE!?" she asked through clinched teeth.
"I don't -gasp- know-gasp- who you're- gasp- talking about!" he said in airy voice
"I'll never -gasp- tell you!"
"Fine then I 'll just have to kill you and get my information from someone else," she spoke in a calm voice while she pulled out her blade.
"WAIT, OK, OK , I'LL TELL YOU JUST-gasp- DON'T KILL ME!"
Bella put the blade back in its place and and set the man down on his feet. He sucked in a big breath and coughed it out.
"Man your strong," he said.
"Get talkin'"
"OK, shesh, let me catch my breath."
"Breath later, talk now."
"OK, last time I talked to the Boss was two days ago, and he said he was in Ireland, and that he would be there for at least a month. Now can I go?"
"Now why would I do that?"
"Because you-," But he was cut off by Bella quickly cutting his throat once again.
Then she heard a gasp, turning sharply, and she cut herself. Then she saw who gasped. There standing under the street light was all of the vampires from the club. Then the small black haired girl screamed "Jasper, No!"

Florists >Mitch's Flowers
4843 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7011529.920343 -90.107294
Neighborhoods: Uptown, Uptown - Carrollton
Going to Mitch's Flowers was a very memorable experience. The staff was more than hospitable and the shop was so beautiful. Their attention to detail was unparalleled. The arrangements are beautiful and unique and there are so many different kinds of orchids to choose from. I have had orchids from other places, but Mitch's Flowers seem to last so much longer. If you are a local or from out of town, definitely put it on your list of places to visit.
Best Florist In Town – Fantastic! The ladies at Mitch's Flowers sure know their business. They were so helpful in getting the flowers for dinner party. Their suggestions were perfect for my table and room. If you aren't using Mitch's you aren't using the best shop in town.
CREATIVE, PROFESSIONAL, MAGNIFICENT! – Stopped in Mitch's to buy an Oysteria plate for a wedding
gift. The entire crew was hustling on designs for a Mardi
Gras ball - was magnificent. Gorgeous flowers, colors,
design. So creative and professional. Got a beautiful
Oyster plate as well as a bird's eye view of the best of
the best in flowers.
Great Experience, Professional and Helpful – I am a typically guy, I have walked into Mitch's several times with no idea of what I want..
I tell them who I am sending the flowers to and for what reason and they begin launching several options. They have yet to fail me. I have trusted the girls working there and the end result has always been 100% satisfaction.
Furthermore, they have met deadlines and made deliveries when I walk in and need the flowers delivered on short notice, says a lot to me about their commitment to their customers.
I am not sure who hacked them with bad reviews but I cannot see how these people could come close to being rude, unless perhaps they are dealing with one of those customers no one can satisfy. Anyway, give them a shot, don't think you will be disappointed.
If you guys read this at Mitch's, thanks and I appreciate you going the extra mile.
Worst. Flower-buying Experience. Ever. – So, for my fiancee's birthday, I wanted to buy her flowers. The normal place I used was closed, however, for family reasons. This left me in a bind, so I called various places on her actual birthday...
I saw that Mitch's was right by where I wanted to have the flowers delivered, and ordered the flowers from them after they swore up and down that they could be delivered that day. Boy, was that a mistake.
1. The flowers showed up the day AFTER they were supposed to -- and therefore she had no flowers for her birthday. My fiancee told me that they called her cell phone some time the evening of her birthday and told her that they tried to deliver them, but she was home studying all day and never heard a knock or the bell! Also, rather than just leave the flowers at the door, they took them away again... despite the fact that my fiancee lives right by Langenstein's-- not a bad area.
2. When I called to inquire how this happened, the owner of Mitch's (a rude, unpleasant woman with no sense of human relations) was very defensive, AND THEN SHE CALLED MY FIANCEE AND TOLD HER I HADN'T PLACED THE ORDER UNTIL THE DAY OF HER BIRTHDAY, with no other information to convey to my fiancee-- clearly just to try to paint me as a chump, I figure.
3. They have hidden "delivery fees" that they will not mention to you when you place the order. A $75 flower order turned into almost $100 on the actual credit card statement.
It will be a cold, cold day in Hell before I ever order from this place again.
AWESOME!! – The girls at Mitch's Flowers are so funny. I went in and sat down to order flowers and we became fast friends. The are witty and smart and make incredible flower arrangements and are were willing to work within my budget. My flowers were delivered within the time frame requested and everyone just raved over them. Thank you!
HORRIBLE AND RUDE!!! – The employees there are incompetent and rude. Their arrangements are full of filler to make you pay more and get less. RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE!!!!!
Avoid, avoid, avoid - unless you'd like to order flowers and NOT have them be delivered – If negative ratings were an option, this place would deserve one. I ordered flowers from Mitches for my grandmother's funeral service through my local florist, since i was unable to attend the service.
though i placed the order with ample notice, the flowers never arrived. to top that off, Mitches' manager was sarcastic and acerbic when i called to find out why the almost $200 floral order i place never arrived.
so why didn't they arrive? they don't know. they confirmed that they received the order. but i guess they didn't feel like sending it out. thanks.

Pearl River Community College expects regular and punctual attendance of all students.
Absences –
- Regular semester day and all night classes - Academic and technical students missing a class more than twice the times it meets in a week during a semester will be dismissed from that class due to excessive absences. Career students enrolled in a "shop class" will be allowed a maximum of six absences during a semester.
- Summer day classes - Academic and technical students are allowed only two absences during any four week term. Career students enrolled in an eight week "shop course" are allowed four absences.
- Weekend classes - A student should not be absent from any part of a weekend class. Only in extreme circumstances may a student be excused by the instructor for missing any portion of a weekend class session.
- Other classes - A student may not be absent more than twice as many times as the number of semester hours of credit conveyed by a course. An absence is defined in this case as missing fifty (50) minutes of a lecture (or equivalent) class, or missing one hundred (100) minutes of a laboratory, shop, activity, or field type of class.
- An instructor may propose a stricter rule for absences or tardies from a class if approved by the instructor's immediate supervisor and by the next level of administration.
- The absence rule for any class must be included in the course syllabus provided to all students at the first meeting of the class.
Attendance –
- To pass a course, a student is required to take all tests scheduled by the instructor and satisfactorily fulfill the performance objectives of each course.
- If a student has to miss class, on the day the student returns to class, he or she has the responsibility of contacting the instructor in order to schedule any make-up work.
- A student may make up work missed if valid reasons for missing, such as illness, accident, or other extenuating circumstances are accepted by the instructor. A student has one week after returning to class to schedule make up work unless circumstances indicate that extra time is needed. Regular scheduled tests and examinations missed without a valid reason will be recorded as a grade of zero.
- Students will be informed of those programs which may have specific attendance requirements mandated by external agencies and/or program guidelines.
- After a student cuts out of a class he/she cannot be readmitted to that class without permission from the instructor.
- A request for a hearing with the instructor must be made one (1) day after the student has been informed by the instructor that he/she has been dropped from class due to excessive absences.
- Readmission to class will be determined based on reasonable evidence presented to the instructor. Therefore, students requesting a hearing should be prepared to show proof to support their argument for excessive absences, i.e. a doctor's excuse, etc.
- School business will not be counted as an absence from class. Faculty and staff members responsible for activities requiring students to miss school must receive approval from the appropriate Campus Vice President and provide notification to the students' instructors through the College's Electronic Attendance Monitoring System.
- A record of class attendance will be kept beginning with the date of the first class meeting.
- Instructors are required to complete the online "cut-out" forms no later than Thursday at 3:00 p.m. of the following week.
- Three tardies will count as one absence. A tardy of fifteen minutes or more will be considered an absence. A student leaving any class without official dismissal will be counted absent.
- An instructor of a distance education course will record attendance in a grade book. A distance education student is classified as current, active, inactive or dropped/withdrawn with the last date of attendance recorded. These categories are defined as follows:
current – Contact is being made on a regular basis and student is current in all assignments.
active – Contact is being made on a regular basis; however, the student may be behind in submitting his/her work.
inactive – Contact has been lost with the student.
dropped (withdrawn) – Student dropped the course and documentation submitted by student is confirmed.
The last date of attendance (LDA) for an inactive student or a dropped student will be the last date of contact with the student.
The student's attendance status is determined by the instructor and supported by the email logs, assignment and test columns, verification of log-in and log-out times, time spent in a particular unit or other part of online courseware, time spent in chats and online discussion. Each online instructor is responsible for clearly stating the attendance requirements for his/her class in the course syllabus. Online instructors will record any additional attendance and audit information required by the State in the manner directed by the Office of eLearning.

Address: Merrion Square, Dublin 2. Phone: 01-6612369 Area: Southeast Category: Georgian and other squares Enquiries: (01)222 5278 or email@example.com
The construction of the Georgian houses at Merrion Square began in 1762 and continued for 30 years. The earliest plan of the park shows a double line of trees around the perimeter which was later enclosed by railings in the early years of the 19th century. A 'Jardin Anglaise' approach was adopted for the layout of the park with contoured grass areas, informal tree clumps, sunken curved paths and perimeter planting.
Merrion Square soon became a fashionable address for the aristocracy and the professional classes. The park was purchased from the Pembroke Estate by the Roman Catholic Church in 1930 for 100,000 as a site for a cathedral. However, this project never materialised and in 1974 the then Archbishop, Dermot Ryan, transferred the 4.75 hectares (11.7 acres) to Dublin Corporation for use a public park.
Notable features of the park include many fine sculptures; the Rutland Memorial; a collection of old Dublin lamp posts; a central floral garden; heather garden and playground. What was once the preserve of local privileged keyholders is now a public park to match the best in Europe and a successful adaptation of a typical Georgian Square to modern intensive public usage.
Please click here to read a booklet on the Park published by Parks and Landscapes Services, Dublin City Council in 2002.
As part of Park Services works programme it is proposed to upgrade the playground in Merrion Square Park. The upgrading has now been procured and it is proposed to undertake the upgrading commencing late February/ early March 1014 with an anticipated six to eight week build period.
Park Services welcome the co-operation of the public during the construction phase of the works and apologise for any inconvenience caused during this stage.
If you have any queries please contact Park Services at e-mail: email@example.com
'The Touring Tama' by Artist Miriam Mc Connon, born Dublin 1977, now living in Cyprus visited Merrion Square Park for two weeks from 14th June 2013. A commemorative plaque is being placed to mark the occasion. Read more here.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa — Losing hope that their Iowa brethren will coalesce around a suitably like-minded candidate in Tuesday's Republican caucuses, national conservative leaders are beginning to accept the increasingly likely prospect of a Mitt Romney nomination, and how and whether they can live with that.
"The answer to that, to a large extent, totally rests with Romney," said Richard A. Viguerie, a direct-mail pioneer and longtime leader of the conservative movement . "The first half-dozen moves are his. We're just tired of supporting the Republican establishment candidates and getting nothing but lip service in return. Those days are over with."

I was raised in the Gator faith. So it pains me to say that I can't blame longtime season ticket holders who are giving up the seats they've had for decades.
Some Gator fans are making the decision because they feel underappreciated. Pushed out. Forsaken.
This isn't a sports column. It's a fan column. Because as the deadline to renew season tickets passed this week, fans were having tough conversations around local dinner tables.
"Going to games with my son was a lot of fun," said Ken Clarke, who surrendered the four seats he's had in Section 2, Row 12, of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for 28 years. "I will miss that ... Going to games was a way to spend 12 hours with a friend talking about football, talking about life."
Clarke didn't make the choice lightly. He even wrote a letter to Athletic Director Jeremy Foley to explain his reasons.
"I have been dismayed at how the Gators have been removed further and further from the average fan like me," wrote Clarke, a former Sentinel employee. "... Have Gator athletics and Gator football become so successful that you no longer feel the need to appeal to fans in the least?"
Tough words. Especially for a program that is accustomed to adoration from its fan base.
Foley must have thought so, too. He called Clarke after reading the letter.
Classy move by Foley, and perhaps a sign that the program recognizes that some average fans are rethinking their devotion — at least in terms of how much money they're willing to spend.
Longtime season ticket holders I've talked with are peeved for several reasons. And we're not talking fair-weather fans who won't settle for anything less than a national title.
These are fans who were thrilled with last season's surprise 11-2 run, despite a hard-to-watch (and half empty) Sugar Bowl.
The biggest complaint is the increase in booster fees during the worst economy of our lifetimes. For many ticket holders, the booster fee has about doubled since 2007.
Clarke's per seat fee increased from $125 to $250. Some seats that carried a $400 fee six years ago are now $1,000. The fee in the Touchdown Terrace, a section in the north end zone that comes with a pre-game buffet, was $1,200. Now it's $2,200.
Tracy Gill, who has been attending Gator games with his dad since the early '70s, decided to give up two of his family's six tickets this year.
"It's just too much money if we're eating quite a few tickets a year," said Gill, an engineer at Kennedy Space Center who lives in east Orlando.
Which brings us to another grumble. The Gators' home schedule is typically six games. Two, sometimes three games end up being against the North Dakota Scuba Academy or an equally unaccomplished team.
Gill can't give away tickets to some of the match-ups. And the demands of his job and a family with two young kids mean he can't make it to all the games.
"It's just that burden of trying to feel like we were using all the tickets was just too much," he said.
Add to that closed practices and boosters who pledge undying loyalty only to discover their kid wasn't admitted and you have a stew of discontent.
And that's not even counting the thing all universities must contend with: Fans who opt to skip the trek to campus and watch the game in HD from the comfort of their couch. No seat-back or sunscreen required.
Gator football spokesman Steve McClain said the final numbers aren't in, but ticket sales overall are slightly ahead of last year's pace as of the Tuesday deadline. He said the jump in booster fees is largely the result of tuition increases, which have driven the cost of athletic scholarships up by $3 million since 2008, and other costs.
OK. But Foley may have to accept that the Gator faith is still strong even if attendance at games isn't.

Play4Kay Merchandise Now Available at All Home Men's and Women's Basketball Games
Jan. 25, 2013
NORMAL, Ill. - In conjunction with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, the Illinois State Athletics Department is now selling Play4Kay merchandise at all home men's and women's basketball games, beginning Friday as the women host Missouri Valley Conference rival Indiana State at 7:05 p.m.
T-shirts and shorts will be on sale on the east concourse through the women's basketball Play4Kay game on Feb. 10 against Creighton at 2:05 p.m. T-shirts are $30, while shorts are $35. All proceeds will benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The Fund is a charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fight against women's cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved and unifying people for a common cause.
As a 15-year assistant coach under Kay Yow at North Carolina State, Illinois State women's basketball head coach Stephanie Glance is personally aware of the fight against breast cancer. Yow lost her courageous battle on Jan. 24, 2009, but Glance and Illinois State Athletics will continue the fight with a Play 4Kay game to support the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The purpose of the event is to raise money for women's cancer research, as well as promote awareness, while providing an event where cancer survivors can feel the support of the community and the Illinois state women's basketball team in their battle against cancer.

Sarcoma Research
The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative has funded more than $2.5 million in sarcoma research grants at prestigious institutions around the world. The Initiative supports research that is targeted at finding cures for sarcomas, as well as research that attempts to develop more effective treatment regimens than those currently available.
Grant Review and Funding
Our Grants Program is highly selective: study proposals are accepted throughout the year and are reviewed by sarcoma experts. Only the most promising studies are approved through this process, and our goal is to ensure that funds are available for every approved study. Most of these funds are contributed by families and friends who have been affected by sarcoma.
Focusing on Global Collaboration
At the Initiative, we believe that improved outcomes for sarcoma patients are best achieved by teams of dedicated investigators working collaboratively and cohesively towards a common goal. The Initiative has funded several International Collaborative Grants (ICGs). These grants provide financial support that crosses national boundaries in order to advance sarcoma research. The ICG Program brings together global teams of sarcoma specialists to work together on significant research projects. The teams collaboratively employ their resources in order to make more progress than each investigator can make individually. ICGs enable team members to use their individual skills to address specific questions while also contributing to a larger, promising project.
Funding the Best Sarcoma Research - Wherever It's Done
At the Initiative, we believe that quality work should be funded wherever it is being done. We award grants based on the merits of each experimental plan we receive. The best studies come from researchers in a variety of settings around the world. Thus, we have awarded grants to investigators in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and at many institutions within the United States.
Targeting Sarcoma Subtypes
At the Initiative, we believe that work needs to proceed on many types of sarcoma. We welcome targeted donations that can be used to support research on specific sarcomas, including:
Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma - Angiosarcoma - Carcinosarcoma - Chondrosarcoma - Clear Cell Sarcoma - Chordoma - Ewing's Sarcoma - GIST - Leiomyosarcoma - Liposarcoma - Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma - Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor - Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma - Osteosarcoma - Rhabdomyosarcoma - Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma - Synovial Sarcoma
Working Together
At the Initiative, we believe in working together to make a difference. We actively seek out sarcoma advocacy groups and individuals to help us fund research studies that have been recommended through our peer-review process. By combining financial resources, organizations can fund more substantive research studies jointly than we could fund independently.

Applying for a Sarcoma Research Grant
The Initiative funds "basic research seed grants" in sarcoma research. We anticipate that results from these "demonstration" or "starter" grants will provide results that will allow the researcher to apply for funding for a larger study.
We are interested in a wide range of research. Some examples are:
- understanding the molecular biology of sarcomas
- exploring "molecular targets" for new sarcoma therapies
- studying chromosomal translocations, the oncogenes they generate and their role in sarcoma development
- translational studies
- studying vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and mTOR inhibitors
- studying the use of nanotechnology in the diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas
- understanding the basis of radiation-induced sarcoma; modeling of the process of metastases
- exploring the differences in the development of sarcomas in children, adolescents, young adults and adults
- research directed at the early detection and diagnosis of sarcoma
Other areas of research will be considered.
How Grants Can Be Used
Grants can be used for the development of models, conducting experiments, development of sarcoma tissue registries, and similar activities involved in support of research into the causes, origins, development, molecular biology, diagnosis, and treatment of sarcoma. We do not fund clinical trials, but fund basic research that might lead to other research studies or to clinical trials. While not funding clinical trials, proposals that undertake studies with patients undergoing treatment on an investigational study are acceptable.
As our grants are small, they are not intended to support the salary of the investigator nor do they support the indirect costs of the investigator's institution. Investigators selected to receive a grant will need to provide a letter from their institution indicating agreement with these requirements before the award is actually formally made.
The Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative awards research grants to both U.S. and international applicants. The applicant's primary affiliation must be with a nonprofit institution. Grant applications can be submitted at any time and applications will be peer-reviewed in a timely manner. We require a 2-3 page summary of the results of the work at the end of the year and request that the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative's grant be acknowledged in any article submitted for publication in which results obtained from the research study are presented.

The current struggles over the debt ceiling are exhausting and probably destructive, both economically and politically.
But that shouldn't blind us to the fundamental sensibleness of the debt ceiling. Or the fact that our constitution assigns debt issuance to Congress, not the president.
As I argued back in November:
Article One of the Constitution assigns to authority to "borrow Money on the credit of the United States" to Congress. Modern constitutional interpreters, especially those who sit on federal courts, tend to give Congress a lot of leeway when it comes to delegating its assigned duties. But even this leeway has its limits.
The current arrangement for issuing debt, which originated during the Great Depression, is probably at that limit. The issuance of debt is largely delegated to the Treasury, with Congress just setting the upper limit of the debt. Further delegation of this legislative power to the executive is probably unconstitutional. (For more on the history of debt issuance, see here.)
This is not just a fetishization of the Constitution. Even if we were starting from scratch, we'd want to incorporate a requirement for Congressional approval of debt issuance. Congressional approval makes defaulting on debt far less likely than it would be if the executive branch could issue debt on its own. Debt holders can rely on the fact that the debt really is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, something that would be in doubt if Congress did not have to approve the debt level. Because of the debt ceiling vote, the debt is never just the "Obama's debt"—it's debt that the people's house approved.
The debt ceiling also holds Congress accountable. If raising the ceiling were left to the President, more and more Congressmen would vote against raising it because a vote against would be cost free. What lawmaker wouldn't want to cast a purely symbolic vote for "fiscal responsibility?" The current arrangement makes this vote count for something, which means that lawmakers must seriously consider the costs and benefits of their position on the ceiling.
Finally, it is worth remembering that payments on the debt must be authorized by Congressional acts. Absent a debt ceiling, Congress would find itself asked to authorize payment on debt it had not approved. Under Geithner's proposal, the debt ceiling could be raised against the wishes of a majority of lawmakers. This majority, however, could still vote against the authorization of payment on debt. The very threat of a payment default vote would be far more unstabilizing than the debt ceiling debate has ever been.
I get the feeling that a lot of critics of the debt ceiling just don't understand it. They're like the walker in "Mending Wall," Robert Frost's poem who comes across a wall between farms but can't understand the reason it is there. Before kicking over the wall, it's at least worth investigating the reason someone thought it was worth putting up in the first place.
