Microsoft Says Windows Vista on Schedule
REDMOND, Wash. — Oct. 13, 2006
Microsoft Corp. today confirmed that it is on track to deliver Windows Vista™ for worldwide availability to its volume license business customers in November and worldwide general availability in January. The company also confirmed that it would be releasing Windows Vista in Europe and Korea on schedule, following what the company called "constructive dialogue" with the European Commission and the Korea Fair Trade Commission.
"We are excited to bring the security enhancements and innovative new features of Windows Vista to our customers and partners around the world, and we are committed to adhering to local law in every region of the world," said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer of Microsoft.
Ballmer said the company over the past two years had submitted information to competition authorities around the world about Windows Vista as it was being developed.
Microsoft agreed to make a number of changes to Windows Vista in response to guidance the company received from the European Commission, said Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith. Smith confirmed that the company has also incorporated changes to Windows Vista in Korea to comply with its legal obligations there.
"We recognize that the European Commission does not give 'green lights' for new products, and we have not asked for one," Smith said. "We appreciate the constructive dialogue we have had with the commission and the guidance the commission has provided. Based on this guidance, we have made changes to ensure that we're in compliance with our competition law obligations, and we are moving forward to make Windows Vista available on a worldwide basis."
"We welcome the constructive discussions we have had with governmental authorities around the world, and we are committed to continuing this type of dialogue in the future," Smith said.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:No Excuses!
Well, Mike -
I ended up with no fishing to speak of on Father's Day weekend >grumble<. I was thinking about you guys doing the one-fly and wished I was there. I got a preliminary report from Jeff Roop and it sounds like a classic great time with great people. After hearing the roster of people who were there, I wished I could have done it even more.
Anxious to hear your perspective!
RE:No Excuses!
I think Roop's going... it's a possibility for me. I've got the Father's Day trump card but it might be played out on the offshore rips throwing huge squid flies for the elusive 40" on a fly (one can dream).
We'll talk at the clave.
RE:No Excuses!
The website will be at http://www.cca-ma.com/, but it's under construction. You can join at any meeting [and you can come to meetings w/o joining]. The South Shore chapter meets at the Bridgewaye Inn, which is at the bridge to Humarock. I forget the date of the next meeting, but someone [usually Wayne Frieden] will post it.
RE:No Excuses!
Sorry Mike but I've got an excuse. It's Fathers day weekend and my father lives in New York which is where I'll be to thank him for being a great dad. It does sound like fun though and I should probably join. Where do I get the info?
No Excuses!
This is about the South Shore CCA One Fly tourney. And it's about the CCA. And it's about you.
YOU need to attend this event. Especially if you're a lurker. And especially if you're a frequent poster.
First, let's talk about CCA. I have, admittedly, kvetched about the organization once or twice. But that's like complaining about your sister -- you have to love her to be allowed to complain. CCA is the best voice around for people like us, people who are passionate about these inshore fish and their future and how regulations will affect the same.
But it's not like eating spinach or anything. Just because it's good for you doesn't mean Mikey won't like it. At our last meeting last week, for instance, Gene Bourque did exactly as advertised and spilled the beans on how to fish the Elizabeth Islands, for real, with slides and everything. And it was fun.
And before that a buncha chicks from UMass Amherst showed us how they pump stripers stomachs. It's all cool.
NOW, we're holding this one fly tournament. Misnamed, because it's also one-soft-plastic-lure, if you're a heretic. [CCA is trying not to be an elitist flyfishing club, but it's an effort.]
Anyway, the South Shore One Fly Tournament is on June 17. That's the day before Father's Day, which means most of you have a trump card to pull and those of you who don't don't need one. So you should really be there.
If you don't know the area, that's cool. We'l pair you with someone who does. It's boat or shore. Also, here's a personal promise -- I will take out maps and show spots to anyone and everyone who comes, and I mean real spots not just the ones we mention to touristas. So will other people, who are better fishers than I.
There's a family barbeque afterwards, so you can persuade your significant smother that it's for all of you.
Now, everyone reading this post is part of a community which involves this BBS and certain predecessors to it, as well as a bunch of kindred spirits who participate in offline activities. Every now and then you really do need to give something back. And this is the most painless way of giving back, because it's absolutely freaking fun. You need to join CCA to enter, which is good because CCA needs members. Then, when CCA is talking to regulatory bodies, it's doing so on behalf of a significant number of people. This actually matters.
Did I mention yet that this is fun? We're talking mid-June on the South Shore. We're talking prime-time striper time in beautiful surroundings and, if I haven't mentioned it yet, we'll help you find the honey holes.
Here's how you sign up: http://home.adelphia.net/~striperman/onefly.jpg. If, at this point, you don't come, you need a pretty damn good excuse.

text: Shippensburg University is once again ranked among the top universities in the North by U.S. News & World Report as part of its annual rankings. The university's John L. Grove College of Business was also ranked among the best undergraduate business programs. In its 2013 edition of Best Colleges, Shippensburg is tied for 100 in the "Regional University" category among all institutions in the North region. The university is also tied for 29th among only public universities in the region. "The history of Shippensburg University is one of providing an education of quality to thousands of students and we're honored that what we do so well is recognized again by U.S. News & World Report," said President Bill Ruud. "Our students are the heart of the university and this honor shows our continual commitment to them and their success." The publication states that regional universities offer a broad scope of undergraduate degrees and some master's degree programs but few, if any, doctoral programs. According to the publication, "The 625 universities in this category are not ranked nationally but rather against their peer group in one of four geographic regions because, in general, they tend to draw students most heavily from surrounding states." In explaining the methodology behind the rankings, the publication said information was gathered from and about each institution in various areas including undergraduate academic reputation, retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rate performance and alumni giving rates. Each was given a different weight and used in the final determination of ranking. In addition to the university being recognized overall, Grove College was again recognized in the publication's "Best Undergraduate Business Programs" category. The college was ranked 309 out of 655 undergraduate programs accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The rankings were based solely on a peer assessment survey conducted in Spring 2012. Dr. John Kooti, dean of the college, said, "Thanks to highly qualified faculty, dedicated staff and supportive central administration, the Grove College continues to provide high quality and high value undergraduate business programs with more than 30 years of AACSB accreditation and 75 years tradition of excellence in business education. This ranking is a wonderful testimony to this dedication." Earlier this year, the university's social work program was ranked 148th in the publication's Best Grad School rankings. According to the publication, the rankings were based solely on the results of peer assessment surveys and only fully accredited programs in good standing during the survey period were ranked.

Interesting.Mel Kiper Jr: "I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Dolphins took QB AJ McCarron in the 2nd round come the NFL Draft in May."
McCarron is a winner and is on my short list of QBs Id like the Phins to draft. Aaron Murray is my sleeper who I feel could be one of the top QBs in this draft and he isnt being projected to go as early as Johnny Football or McCarron. I would love to see the Phins take one or two of them.
Skov at LB in round 1 and McCarron or Murray in later rounds would be incredible.

Top Choice Award 07
Starboard dropped the Sonics for these iSonics in these smaller slalom sizes so we were looking forward to testing these new shapes by Tiesda You. With an 80cm flat from the tail, the rockerline is already showing you its intentions. From the very first moments on the water, you know the iSonic 94 is a board you feel good on. The deck is comfortable and the straps are comfortable. Getting to grips with the board is easy, even though less easy than the Tabou. On the scale, it's the second heaviest but you don't feel any weight on the water. You drive off the fin very well. It whistles a bit but it gives you an excellent drive with an upwind ability that is easy and astonishingly efficient. Only the Tiga can keep up. The lateral stability is excellent and without any doubt the best. There was no tail walking problems, even at very high speeds in rough waters. That gives you a board that allows you to attack with full confidence since it offers excellent control at any angle and any situation. It makes you feel secure. The sensation of being faster is there, and that's confirmed when compared directly to others. It's a real bomb and it also makes the difference in marginal conditions or long distances when its control and ease allows you to maintain a high average speed. It's really a highly efficient board. When jibing, the grip and the carving response are good. As for the exit speed, it's by far ahead.
The Starboard is homogeneous no matter what the conditions, it maintains good control at the highest speed in rough conditions and offers the kind of upwind speed that could be critical in competitions like the Defi Wind Long Distance event.

Canadiens centreman Scott Gomez returned to Brossard ice Thursday with teammates.
Paul Chiasson/The Canadian Press
Canadiens centreman Scott Gomez isn't preoccupied with thoughts of a compliance buyout, despite the fact that the phrase and his name are attached anywhere you surf on the Internet.
Gomez, 33, coming off an injury-riddled season that followed the least productive campaign of his career, will speak to hockey media in Brossard on Friday after practice. But he spoke at considerable length Thursday late evening with Hockey Inside/Out and The Gazette.
The Gazette
Centreman Scott Gomez arrived in Montreal late Wednesday night, driving up from New Jersey following a cross-continent flight from California, where he had been playing with the ECHL Alaska Aces.
The 33-year-old native of Anchorage packed an enthusiasm to begin Habs training camp, along with a very clear understanding that he's coming off an injury-riddled, unproductive season that followed 2010-11's dismal campaign, the poorest of the 11 he had played in the NHL to that time.
Gomez has this abbreviated season and a full 2013-14 left on his bloated contract, the seven-year, $51-million deal to which he was signed in 2007 by New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather. That contract has only increased the size of the bull's eye many have affixed to the back of his jersey.
The 1999-2000 Calder Trophy recipient as the NHL's rookie of the year arrived in Montreal by trade in June 2009, his acquisition by then-GM Bob Gainey in part paving the way for a handful of unrestricted free agents to sign with Montreal that summer, encouraged by the team's direction.
A two-time Stanley Cup champion with New Jersey, Gomez had 12 goals and 47 assists here in 2009-10 and his leadership played a large role in helping to carry the Canadiens three rounds into the playoffs.
But his production tailed off dramatically the following year; last season, he missed 44 games with injuries.
So Gomez's critics are almost giddy now, seeing him as the prime target for one of the Canadiens' two permitted compliance buyouts that will kick in for 2013-14 and 2014-15, following the upcoming 48-game schedule.
But if such an unceremonious see-ya is on the radar of Gomez, who will have a cap hit of $7,357,143 when the buyout window opens, he's not letting on.
Late Thursday, Gomez called me to speak at considerable length; more like he rasped, believing he had contracted something from an ailing airplane neighbour on his flight from the west coast.
He was in Ontario, Calif., playing with his hometown Alaska Aces, when rumours started to swirl that NHL training camps could begin as early as Thursday.
So instead of returning home to Anchorage, Gomez threw his hockey gear on a plane and flew east, then drove north.
"My little sister was staying with me," he said. "So now she's probably the happiest person in the world."
Gomez didn't speak with media gathered at the Canadiens' Brossard training facility following Thursday practice, his voice almost shot; he said he will meet the cameras and notebooks Friday noon-hour after his on-ice workout.
Through a couple of coughing fits, he had enough to chat for a half-hour late Thursday. What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation:
You sound like you're enthusiastically ready to throw yourself back into this mess…
I think everyone's pretty excited that there's hockey. Hey, it's fun playing in the NHL. We're all excited to get back.
Were you one of the guys who expected this NHL season would begin, or a guy who thought it was toast?
When you've gone through it before, you don't know what to expect. I remember last time, a couple times, I was pulled out of the (Aces) lineup because the rumour was that (the NHL) was going to start. I didn't think last time there was any way there would be no season. When it happened, it opened your eyes. Going through it once you didn't know what to expect. But the main thing this time was to get hockey going again for the fans. It's tough to answer them when they're always asking and you want to be playing. There are some great hockey fans out there.
Six goals and seven assists in 11 games with the Aces the past few weeks. How was the experience?
It was great. It was fun playing hockey. To get the opportunity to play in front of family and friends again, I had a blast. Alaska is an outstanding organization, the (head) coach, Rob Murray, (assistants) Louis Mass and Scott Burt, it was fun. I got to spend some time at home. It's been a long time. We all want to be playing here (in the NHL) but I had a great time. It's always a great experience to play in front of the people out there.
The Canadiens finished up on April 7. We have gone from spring, summer, fall and back into winter without hockey in this city. When you begin camp, it will be a little more than nine months since a meaningful faceoff in Montreal. Does the whole thing seem surreal, or having been through a lockout once before, do you just look forward?
I'm just glad there's hockey again. I believe I was in Peoria last time when the (2004-05) NHL season was cancelled. You think of how many people are losing out. Not only us, but people who work in and around the buildings and the fans. This time around, too. Especially playing in a city like Montreal, places like that, you realize how important it is, not only for fans. I've been in town just a day now and in the restaurants I go to… for certain people, even my buddies back home, they loved the fact I was playing there but they wanted NHL hockey.
Were you back in Montreal at all during the summer?
No, I stayed maybe a week after the season. Then I went to New Jersey and New York. It was still too early to go home. A couple other places but I can't remember. It seems so long ago. I drove in (Wednesday) night. It was a nice drive up. The only delay was at border patrol. They wanted to talk about hockey. The guy had season tickets and he was pissed. I knew I was back in Canada, put it that way. It was good to go over the Champlain Bridge (laughs).
We spoke at length before last season's training camp and you were very enthusiastic about 2011-12. You'd had a miserable 2010-11 season and you'd spoken candidly about that to reporters on locker-cleanout day. And then last season, if I've catalogued it properly, you suffered a torn lat in October, a torn groin in November, then suffered an eye injury and a concussion in March. You played 38 games and missed 44. Could you have written a script that ugly?
The thing about last year is we didn't make the playoffs. Simple as that. I don't care about me personally. We didn't make the playoffs. You can ask any one of us. Unless you've gone through it before, which I hadn't, and a couple of the guys, it's the worst. To know you're not going to get a chance to play for the Stanley Cup. In all essence, that's all I'll say about last year. We didn't make the playoffs. I'm not going to sit here and talk about my injuries. It's a long summer. A long summer to think about that. My injuries? It's never been about me. The bottom line is we didn't make the playoffs.
Have you had a more bizarre year than last season? Look through it and it reads like a bad novel.
I've never not made the playoffs in all my life. I don't care what it was. The fact we didn't make them was terrible. That's what you play for. I don't know how more I can stress that. That's all that comes into my mind and the minds of all the guys who were here last year. We just… we didn't even get a chance to go for the ultimate prize. At the end of the day, the goal is to win the Stanley Cup. And to win the Cup, you've got to get in. And that's all I remember about last year.
Did you watch any playoffs last year?
Do you wear a tuxedo to the games? (laughs) Nah, it's too hard. I never have. No, no. Since I was a kid, I'm too pissed off to watch. I don't care to watch when we lose. No, it's almost like you're jealous when you're watching guys play. It's always been that way. I'm not going to sit there and watch guys having the time of their lives when you're miserable for not being in the playoffs.
Have you had any discussions or any contact with (general manager) Marc Bergevin or (head coach) Michel Therrien since they were named to their positions?
I talked to (Therrien) this summer, I think when he got the job. It seems so long ago, I can't exactly. But not to Marc yet.
When would you have the chance? The lockout still isn't officially over until the players ratify the CBA.
There are still a lot of rules. Most of all, we (the players) were all pretty excited to see each other (in Brossard on Thursday). That was the main thing, to see our teammates again. It felt right, seeing the guys and the trainers. Camp starts Sunday, hopefully, that's when it all starts over again. A fresh start for every team. Here we go. Going for the Cup.
OK, let's talk about the elephant in the room. If you Google "compliance buyout," chances are good your photo will pop up. Your status was addressed at a news conference this week held by (Canadiens owner) Geoff Molson, Bergevin and Therrien. To a question, Bergevin replied, and I paraphrase, that you're a part of this team and you'd be at training camp. Have you heard from anyone, in any way, about the compliance buyout that's part of the new CBA?
No. I'm here. I never once have felt I'm entitled to anything. I'm here to play for the Montreal Canadiens and I'm here to help the team win. My dad gave me the greatest advice: "Make them keep you. Make them play you." That's every year you go into. I'm happy to be back and a buyout is the last thing on my mind. I'm here to help the team win in whatever capacity they want. I'm going to give my all.
Max Pacioretty suggested to me today that everyone has to prove themselves all over again. From the GM to the head coach and his assistants, there's a whole new face on the management of this team. Do you believe that it works to your advantage, or at least not to your disadvantage, that you've got a new coach and GM and beginning the first time you step on training-camp ice, you've got a clean slate to earn that ice time?
Everyone who plays in the National Hockey League, unless you're a couple of guys, Gretzky or Lemieux, I don't know, you're never entitled to anything. You're hungry. We'll do anything to get back to winning and being a contender. You prove yourself every day in this game. You prove yourself at every training camp. Patch is right. Everything is new. It's a clean slate but at the same time the goal is the same and that's to get in the playoffs and go for the Stanley Cup. Once we realize it's going to work, you'll do anything to win and that's the thought from all of us. It wasn't a good feeling for us last year. It's such a good room, such a good group of guys. Let's face it, when you've got the best goaltender in the world, it starts there and you've got to take advantage of that. Last year is last year. The goal is to get in the playoffs and get the chance.
A few offseason additions here: Brandon Prust, Colby Armstrong and Francis Bouillon. Some sandpaper. Is that something this club needed to maybe keep other clubs at least a little honest?
First and foremost, they're outstanding teammates. Their reputations speaking for themselves. I've known Frankie a long time – the guy can move the puck, he's a great D-man. I remember I was with New Jersey and there was a scrum in Montreal. I grabbed Frankie, I don't know, maybe because he was more my size, and right away (Devils defenceman) Sheldon Souray told me, "Gomer, that's the last guy you'll want to mess with." Frankie is not only tough, he's an outstanding D-man. He's a pain in the ass to play against. You're not going to beat him. The other two? Look at what they've done in their careers. Not only that, they fit in right away. It is a close team. They're character guys and great players. They'll contribute. They've been around. We were just together today and the vibe is the room is great. Honestly, I can't wait to get started.

50 years is a suitable occasion for a special edition Porsche 911
Only 1963 copies of the 50th birthday car will be built, in honor of the first year of production.
Sometimes, there are special editions that are actually special. While Porsche has a knack for building a special edition on the flimsiest of premises, the
50th anniversary of the first year of the 911 seems like a perfectly valid excuse.
What sets it apart? The Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition is a wide body Carrera with an extra 30 horses over the normal S, Porsche Active Suspension
Management, tribute "Fuchs"-like wheels, retro styling bits, and "Pepita" tartan on the seats. (Houndstooth, anyone?)
And yes, you can get it with manual transmission intact, PDK being the less-preferred option for most enthusiasts.
Prices start at $124,100, $25,200 more than a Carrera S, and it's only available in two different shades of "special" grey (Geyser Grey Metallic pictured)
or, as is always fashionable, in black.

When this game started everyone thought it was going to get ugly quick after the Texans scored on their first drive without having to face a 3rd down. Then later on in the first quarter Arian Foster ran for a touchdown from 4 yards out making it 14-0 after the 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter it was a different Titans team as they held the Texans out of the end zone, and cut the gap to 14-7 and...

Through 2 weeks of football, the Houston Texans might just be the best team in the NFL. They haven't even played a "great game" in my opinion.

12.1: Introduction to Energy Resources
Where does this young basketball player get his energy?
He gets his energy from the Sun. Not directly, of course. He eats food, which used sunlight to grow, or he eats something that ate something that used sunlight to grow. When he shoots the ball, some of the energy goes into the ball and hopefully the ball goes into the hoop. Three points!
Energy Basics
Energy is the ability to do work or produce change. Every living thing needs energy to perform its daily functions and even more energy to grow. Plants get energy from the "food" they make by photosynthesis, and animals get energy directly or indirectly from that food. People also use energy for many things, such as cooking food, keeping ice cream cold in the freezer, heating a house, constructing a skyscraper, or lighting their homes. Because billions of people all around the world use energy, there is a huge need for energy resources. Energy conservation is something everyone can do now to help reduce the strain on energy resources.
Conservation of Energy
The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created or destroyed. This means that even though energy changes form, the total amount of energy always stays the same. How does energy get converted from one type to another when you kick a soccer ball? When your body breaks down the food you eat, it stores the energy from the food as chemical energy. But some of this stored energy has to be released to make your leg muscles move. The chemical energy is converted to another form of energy called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of anything in motion. Your muscles move your leg, your foot kicks the ball, and the ball gains kinetic energy from the kick. So you can think of the action of kicking the ball as a story of energy changing forms.
To learn the quadratic equations related to getting a rapidly moving car to overcome its kinetic energy and come to a stop, watch this video (I&E 1e): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-Z2-jxCqVw&feature=related (6:01).
Potential energy is energy that is stored. Potential energy has the potential to do work or the potential to be converted into other forms of energy. If a ball is sitting on the very edge at the top of the hill, it is not moving, but it has a lot of potential energy.
Animations showing the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy can be seen at the following sites:
- http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/energy/se.cfm
- http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/energy/ce.cfm
- http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/energy/dg.cfm
If you read a book beneath a lit lamp, that lamp has energy from electricity. The energy to make the electricity comes from fuel. Fuel has energy that it releases. A fuel is any material that can release energy in a chemical change.
What are some examples of fuel, and what are they used for?
- Food is fuel for your body.
- Sunlight is the energy plants need to make food by photosynthesis.
- Gasoline is fuel for cars.
- Hydrogen is fuel for the Sun.
For a fuel to be useful, its energy must be released in a way that can be controlled. Controlling the release of energy makes it possible for the energy to be used to do work.
When fuel is used for its energy, it is usually burned, and most of the energy is released as heat (Figure below). The heat may then be used to do work. Think of a person striking a match to set some small twigs on fire. After the twigs burn for a while, they get hot enough to make some larger sticks burn. The fire keeps getting hotter, and soon it is hot enough to burn whole logs. Pretty soon the fire is roaring, and a pot of water placed on the fire starts to boil. Some of the liquid water evaporates.
A controlled fire.
What is the source of energy for boiling and evaporating the water? Although some chemical energy from the match was put into starting the fire, the heat to boil and evaporate the water comes from the energy that was stored in the wood. The wood is the fuel for the fire.
- Energy is the ability to do work. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change form.
- Fuel stores energy that can be released during use.
- Heat is the motion of atoms due to the use of energy.

Billing Procedures & Policies
Paying your tuition bill is, of course, one of the most important "to-dos." The Student
Accounts Office is here to help.
ELECTRONIC BILLING: The Student Accounts Office creates your electronic bill (E-bill) based on actual registration for tuition and fees at the time the E-bill is generated. In the absence of registration, an E-bill will be generated if there is a balance from other charges such as room, dining (if applicable) or other miscellaneous charges such as Library Fines, Parking Fines, Room Damages, etc.
E-BILL NOTIFICATION: Student Accounts sends semester E-Bill notifications via email to the STUDENT to their BU email address. The E-bill notification includes the balance due, the due date, and a link to access the E-bill statement on-line via QuikPAY.
If the student would like the billing notification sent to their parents, guardian or another person, they MUST add that person as an Authorized Payer on his/her QuikPAY account. This is the only way anyone other than the student can receive electronic E-bill notification. This is also the only way to gain access to view, print and pay your student's bill.
BILLING CYCLE: Binghamton University will generate monthly E-bill statements starting in August for the Fall term and in January for the spring term. Students will receive a monthly E-bill statement via email (issued around the 1st of the month) with a balance due and a due date if a balance remains from a prior month or if there is new activity on the account. PLEASE NOTE: It is important to review your QuikPAY account regularly.
DUE DATE & FEES: If payment is not made in full by the due date on the E-bill statement, the account is subject to a $30 fee on each billing statement.
PAYMENT PLANS: Binghamton University has partnered with Nelnet Business Solutions to offers an interest-free, web-based payment plan. The payment plan provides you with the opportunity to divide the bill for each term into automatic installments to allow you to spread your payments over a period of up to four months depending on when you sign up (Fall Term: Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec; Spring Term: Feb, Mar, Apr, May). A non-refundable enrollment fee of $40 per term is required to activate the payment plan. You MUST sign up on-line, payment plans cannot be processed in the Student Accounts Office. For more information click on Payment Plan.
HOLDS: Accounts that have not signed up for a payment plan and still have a balance on their account at the end of the 6th week of classes will have an Accounts Receivable (AR) hold placed on their record. If there is a hold on the student's record, he or she will not be permitted to participate in ANY registration activities (add or drops) or obtain transcripts until the balance is paid in full.
As a New York State agency, Binghamton University is required by Section 18 of the State Finance Law to follow certain collection procedures for past due debts. (For Section 18 details please visit NYS Finance Section 18 site).
The law states: debts owed to the University that are not paid by the end of the term will be forwarded to a collection agency or the NYS Attorney General's office. Once a student's account is sent to a collection agency or the NYS Attorney General's Office, the student is made ineligible to attend the University until the debts are satisfied. Any registration for a future or upcoming term will be cancelled. The student will be assessed additional collection costs, penalties and interest. The debt will be reported to the major credit bureaus thus negatively impacting the student's credit rating.

Student Accounts
P.O. Box 6003
Binghamton, NY 13902-6003

1. Log into BU Brain Self Service through http://my.binghamton.edu
2. Click on the "QuikPAY" icon at the top of the page. For security and re-enter your username and password.
3. On the left menu in QuikPAY you will find an "Add Authorized Payer" link. If the student would like the E-bill notification sent to his/her parents, guardian or another person, they MUST add that person/s as an Authorized Payer on their QuikPAY account. This is the only way for anyone other than the student to receive an E-bill notification and to gain access to view, print and pay your student's bill.
Each time an E-bill statement is posted, the student and any Authorized Payers listed on his/her account will receive E-bill notification via email. The student's E-bill notification will be sent to their Binghamton University email account.
If there is an overpayment on the student's account, the refund will be issued payable to the STUDENT regardless of the source of payment. The only refunds issued to someone other than the student are the proceeds of the Parent PLUS Loan that exceed the charges on the account.
Paper refund checks are printed ONCE a week. Students are notified via email to pick up their refund check. If the refund check is not picked up within 21 days the check is mailed to the permanent address of record.
However, if the student signs up for Direct Deposit they will receive a refund within TWO business days (depending on your bank). If the student wishes to receive refunds directly in his/her checking or savings account they may sign up for Direct Deposit at the BU Brain.
Federal regulations and student privacy protection policies prohibit us from giving detailed information to callers unless they:
1. have the University ID (B#) for the student and
2. are the student or an "Authorized Payer"
Also, for the student's protection, email correspondence with our office will be limited to general process and policy information only.

IRS Form 8300, Reporting of Cash payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business, must be filed by the 15th day subsequent to the transaction which causes the total cash payments received from that person (or agent) to exceed $10,000. The following procedures have been established to ensure the University's compliance with Form 8300 reporting requirements. For more details visit http://bingdev.binghamton.edu/administration/procedures/200series/220.htm
Paper checks and E-Checks returned by your bank due to insufficient funds will be assessed a $20 returned check charge. Payment must then be made with certified check, money order, major credit card or cash. A $30.00 late payment fee will be assessed if the returned check was for payment of your e-bill statement.

Another year, another top ten list for video games. Unlike last year where it was a bit difficult to come up with a top ten list, this year there were only a few titles that I feel one could argue could have made this list that aren't on my list. Actually, I was not too surprised that Screwattack had nine out of the ten games I picked on their top ten list. Additionally, Gametrailers only had a top five but all five were games from my top ten list. Even though my list is being published last (I usually publish it on New Year's Day), the list has essentially been in the bag for almost two weeks now. Had I published it earlier, I could have accused other sites of ripping me off. However, I think it's because there were very few MUST OWN!!! games this year that it's no surprise that there is quite a bit of consensus across the Internet. The last couple of years there has been major differences between the lists of most outlets. Now, it almost seems unanimous.
There will be a special Weekly Video Game Podcast posted tomorrow featuring myself and Chris Karpyszyn where we'll look at the list and discuss it. There will be a supplemental podcast on Monday where we quickly talk about this list and compare it to the previous years. The second podcast almost didn't exist as we were wrapping up the first one and then we started talking about the last year and the year before that. Before I knew it, we had talked for half-an-hour. Once the podcasts are posted, they'll be linked to on the front page as well as this article.
Whether you agree with this list or hate it, say something about it. Leave a comment at the bottom or send me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll read your comments during the next Weekly Video Game Podcast,

Local counselors, uninsured wait as marketplace glitches continue
Online marketplace opened October 1
LA CROSSE, WI - The online marketplaces, where people can shop for health insurance, opened nationwide Tuesday - but here in Wisconsin and in several other states, glitches marred their launches.
Counselors at Saint Clare Health Mission in La Crosse were trained and ready to help people enroll in the health insurance exchange, but because Wisconsin's marketplace refused to load in its entireity, they haven't even seen the full website yet.
"We've waited for this a long time," said Saint Clare Clinic Director Sandy Brekke. "But it's pretty much what we anticipated. We knew on the very first day, there would be a lot of activity on the site. Today is the first opportunity anybody's ever had to look through it."
Employees at Saint Clare Health Mission scrolled through different error pages for hours as they tried to explore the site, and as of 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, they still hadn't been able to get through. Gundersen Health Systems enlisted 100 people to navigate the site, and all were unable to due to the glitches.
But according to Brekke, it's only a matter of time before the bugs are worked out.22221298
"As the weeks and the months come, people are gonna be more proficient in it, it's going to make more sense and it'll be a much easier process to go through," she said.
Others aren't so optimistic.
Joe Pierce, a patient at Saint Clare and one of Wisconsin's thousands of uninsured residents, was unimpressed with the marketplace's performance - or lack thereof - on its first day.
He was planning to enroll through the marketplace Tuesday and had high hopes for its success. But between a federal showdown over the government shutdown and error screen after error screen, he's skeptical for the future of the online exchange.
"It looks good on paper, but when you actually do it and to make it happen, it's a completely different story," Pierce said. "Now, myself and a lot of people have lost faith in the fact that the government is actually going to do this."
Brekke and other Saint Clare workers said they expect the site to be up and running smoothy, and soon - but Pierce isn't so sure it's worth the wait.
"The concept of it is wonderful," he said. "But the road to hell is paved on good intentions."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. /California Newswire/ Californias Senate Judiciary Committee today passed Senate Bill 1267, authored by Senator Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima). The bill would establish the California Genetic Information Privacy Act. The measure now goes to the Senate Appropriations Committee for consideration.Presently, there are no laws that prevent surreptitious taking, testing and disseminating an individuals genetic material and information. Specifically, SB 1267 would provide that no genetic material can be collected, analyzed, shared and stored without a persons written consent. The bill would impose civil and criminal penalties and fines for taking and testing a persons genetic material.SB 1267 would extend California privacy protections to a persons genetic material and information, said Senator Alex Padilla. We have laws to protect the privacy of our financial information, our medical records, and even the books we check out from the local library. We need genetic privacy protections because nothing is more personal than our DNA, added Senator Padilla.Genomic sequencing and testing is fast approaching the point where it will be widely affordable to the general public and an integral part of health care. What took years of international effort to produce in the mid-1980s can now be completed in days. Analysis of genetic material can allow for early detection of disease long before symptoms become apparent. Genetic markers can also suggest propensity for diseases that may or may not ever develop.No one should be able to take another persons DNA without consent and mine it for information. We look forward to working with Senator Padilla to pass strong legislation to protect every Californian from unauthorized testing of their DNA, said Jeremy Gruber, President, Council for Responsible Genetics.As genetic testing becomes more accessible there is an increased risk of this information being used without consent. No person should have their genetic material taken, tested and given to others without written consent. All Californians should have these basic protections, added Senator Padilla.Recently, the Minnesota Department of Health, in Bearder v. State of Minnesota, was sued for collecting the blood of infants, conducting genetic analysis and storing the information without the consent or knowledge of their parents. The information was ultimately passed on to researchers. The court found that the Department had violated Minnesotas Genetic Privacy Act, a 2006 law that requires informed, written consent for the collection, storage, use and dissemination of any genetic information. The Minnesota Department of Health now must destroy the thousands of samples that they collected and stored.Last year the Governor signed Senate Bill 559 (Padilla), which expanded California civil rights laws by prohibiting discrimination based on genetic information in housing, employment, education, public accommodations, health insurance coverage, life insurance coverage, mortgage lending, and elections.Senator Alex Padilla, 39, graduated from MIT with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He currently serves on the MIT Board. He is Chair of the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee and represents the more than 900,000 residents of the 20th State Senate District which includes most of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.

The Town of North Smithfield will hold its first annual Boards and Commissions Summit on March 9th at the North Smithfield Middle School.
NORTH SMITHFIELD - The Town of North Smithfield will hold its first annual Boards and Commissions Summit on March 9th at the North Smithfield Middle School. According to John Flaherty, Town Council President, the purpose of the summit is to better coordinate, align and leverage the time and talent that members dedicate to shape the quality of life and future of North Smithfield through their generous volunteer work on the town's 15 boards and commissions.
By Charter, some of members are appointed by the Town Council and others by the Town Administrator. "It is hoped that the summit will result in a clearer and shared sense of priority and strategy for advancing our town's long-term Comprehensive Community Plan" according to Flaherty.
The goals and objectives for the summit include:
- Improved communication and understanding among all boards and commissions about duties, scope and opportunities to collaborate in achieving town goals.
- Alignment of individual board and commission priorities with TC's 2-Year Work plan as it may be amended from time to time
- Identification of goals and objectives that are missing from TC Work plan
- Identification of challenges that impede the effectiveness of elected/appointed officials and staff
Once the round table discussions are complete there will be initial vetting of proposals for improvement that emerge during the summit. Dr. Victor Profughi (Professor Emeritus at Rhode Island College and President of Quest Research) will serve as facilitator. The public is invited to attend. The Summit will be held from 8:00 AM to 12:00 noon, with a continental breakfast served.

Hydros ready to roar for Diamond Cup
The roar of hydroplanes on Lake Coeur d'Alene returns this weekend, and Diamond Cup organizers are expecting the three-day event to draw crowds of more than 50,000 people.
Thursday the hydro started getting lined up along the water's edge in preparation for Friday when all 28 racing teams will slip their boats in the water, fire up the turbines and open up the throttles.
Billy Schumacher knows the waters of Lake Coeur d'Alene well. He's the reigning Diamond Cup champion, having won the race in 1968.
"The race has always been good in Coeur d'Alene," Schumacher said.
Schumacher has returned to North Idaho, now as the owner of the U-37 hydroplane.
"The waterway looks wonderful as far as smoothness goes, I think it's going to be great for viewing," he said.
But the U-37 Schumacher Racing team has some steep competition, including Jimmy Shane, piloting the U-5 Graham Trucking hydroplane, which won at Seafair earlier this month.
"You do come into the next race weekend with a lot of confidence, and we are definitely going to keep our heads on a level tilt," Shane said.
Shane, who started racing when he was 8, is excited to race in the Lake City for the first time.
"It's got a lot of rich history here, it's very picturesque, unbelievably beautiful," he said.
Diamond Cup president Doug Miller worked five long years to bring the hydros back to Coeur d'Alene after a 45-year absence. Now his work is paying off.
"To be honest with you it was pretty emotional for me, to see the boats and the cranes," he said.
Schumacher is looking forward to the action this weekend at the Diamond Cup. He's not the 25-year-old driver behind the wheel anymore but, at 70 years old, he still has that competitive spirit and wants to blow the competition out of the water again.
"We are looking forward to this race, because I would like to win it as an owner now," he said.

High Capacity Energy Star Dehumidifier - 120 Pint
Description & Highlights
Pridiom High Capacity Dehumidifier - 120 Pint
The Pridiom High Capacity Energy Star Dehumidifier (PGD1080HCW) is designed for exceptional dehumidification with lasting performance. This quality dehumidifier is great for use in basements, crawlspaces, garages, indoor pool areas, and around your home during humid months. It removes up to 120 pints of moisture from the air per day (70 pints/day capacity at AHAM and 120 pints/day at saturation).
This 120-pint dehumidifier is sleek and stylish enough to be installed anywhere, despite its high capacity and industrial strength construction. It offers the versatility of wall mounting with the included mounting kit so it can be used without sacrificing valuable space, and it plugs into a standard 115V outlet. The dehumidifier also comes with rubberized feet and rolling casters for more installation options.
Pridiom dehumidifiers control relative humidity of a space by drawing in air and forcing excess moisture to condensate over a cooled heat exchanger. The condensate water then flows safely into a fixed drain. The dried air then passes through a final heat exchanger where it's warmed before re-entering the room at a slightly elevated temperature. Unit-mounted digital humidistat controls let you easily adjust fan speed and control humidity. A built-in condensate pump makes it easy to drain the condensate into a sink or drain up to six feet above the height of the pump.
Improved Air Filtration:This dehumidifier comes with a reusable air filter that's easy to remove, clean, and reinstall
Whisper Quiet Operation:Pridiom dehumidifiers operate with very minimal noise, as low as 51 decibels
3-Year Warranty:A 3 year compressor, condenser, and evaporator warranty means you can purchase with confidence that this quality product will last for years to come

…With his time.
Time Management is an important part of life and Scouting.
You hear to many people say that they don't have enough time in their day… I would say that they do not prioritize and plan well.
You see as we go through life we pick and choose how to spend our time. We dedicate time to those things that we first must do, like work and school, and then we prioritize based on our interests, hobbies and the things that we like to do.
We choose to participate or not in activities, groups, sports, and entertainment. But we always have time. What we do with that time is up to us and our priorities.
I dedicate what some people see as an excessive amount of time to Scouting. That may or may not be true, based on priorities.
I believe that Scouting is good and worth my time. Scouting is family time. Scouting produces good men, and I feel that if I make a contribution to that end, I have done something good for my Community and Nation. So Scouting is high on my list of priorities.. and therefore I make time for it.
Faith, Family, Taking care of my family financially (work), and Scouting are high on my list… So I make time for it.
When asked if I can undertake a task or assist on a committee, I make a choice to participate or not. I do not say that my plate is full or I don't have the time, because that would not be true. I fill my plate to level that I want to. Free time is a priority too, and so I make sure that there is some of that in my life. It is more important for us to be honest and tell someone that you are not interested, rather than to say you don't have time. You have time, but the task they are asking you to help with may not be a priority…right now.
Scouts are Thrifty with their time. They manage it and prioritize it.
You take the time to read this blog..why? Because Scouting is important to you.. I write it for the same reason.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
