Inauguration behind the scenes
By Pat Blank
Instead of a multi-day event tomorrow's inauguration of Terry Branstad as Iowa's Governor will run about a day and a half if you count the twilight hours of the ball. And it will be a rather modest affair ...about 300 thousand dollars. But even the most simple ceremony needs an event planner.. and the woman in charge of this one has been through it before. Her name is Camille Valley and Iowa Public Radio's Pat Blank caught up her by phone earlier this afternoon.

Random Thoughts
I have had the opinion for quite some time that the Vancouver sports media are much too negative when it comes to anything and everything to do with the Vancouver Canucks. I'm not saying that all journalists/reporters/media types are negative. Guys like Dan Murphy, Jason Botchford and Don Taylor are actually quite balanced when covering […]

A True Story
Green Druid
[This was a speech I gave as best man at my friend's wedding in California last year. The events described happened on the Playa in 2004 and last year we returned after their wedding for the Man in 2005. This year none of us can make it. It's a long way from rainy old England you know. But I've been missing the Playa tonight so I thought this might be a way I could contribute this year. Peace and love to all on the Playa. Green Druid.] Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. For those of you I havent met, Im Dan, Ive been nominated best man. Best at making short speeches, Im sure youre hoping? Ill try. This runs to about fifteen minutes so you shouldnt need to fetch a sleeping bag or a strong cup of coffee.span> Ill begin by explaining that Ive known Ken for around ten years, but we only became really close over the last two. Two years ago we both had the misfortune to find ourselves single after our respective partners broke up with us within about a month of each other and moving out of the places wed shared with them. We ended up living close to one another in the city of Brighton and Hove on the south coast of England.
Being recently single men we decided to hang out and drown our sorrows with a fellow loser. We shared a few interests: martial arts, wed go running together, spend weekends camping or just pop out for a drink to the local pub where wed bond over our romantic misfortunes. And on occasion we would go out to a club where all the women would try to dance with Ken and hed fail to notice.
For a few years the two of us, along with a group of friends, had a yearning to travel to the Burning Man Festival in Nevada, which is held every year at the end of August. For those of you who dont know what this is Ill try to explain. The festival is held in the Black Rock Desert, which is a dry lakebed or playa, encircled by a mountain range. To get there you have to drive a hundred miles north of Reno and out beyond the last outposts of humanity. Essentially its a large flat desert in the middle of nowhere.
This is not entertainment created for you. You participate and make your own entertainment. The aim of the festival is for all the participants to put their effort into the creation of spectacle, but with an awareness of the temporary nature of that spectacle. On the last two days much of the art thats been created, including the Man who stands at the citys centre and The Temple lying on the citys eastern edge, are burnt to demonstrate this impermanence. Then next year it can all be built again.
Basically its 35,000 Californian hippies getting half naked and crazy in the middle of the desert. And were from England. We have tea, polite conversation, a Queen, and she wouldnt approve. So the two of us flew from the UK to San Francisco, where we met up with G, an old friend. The three of us spent a couple of nights in town gathering equipment and supplies before driving to Reno, where we stayed one night and met up with the rest of our crew, whod travelled up from Las Vegas. More than a few adventures were had along the way but sadly there isnt time to go into them here and there are children present. Ask me afterwards and Ill tell you the tale of Shooters Bar in Reno. Its a sordid story involving a night of invincible pool playing, strong liquor, a street fighting Nazi, a house of ill repute, some pole dancers and a Navaho barmaid called Misty.
The next morning, in convoy with our friends we headed north into the unknown on the wrong side of the road. All of us were awed by the huge flat empty spaces that surrounded us. Wed been in convoy with other people journeying to the playa since leaving the interstate a couple of hours previously, and as we drove into Black Rock City, the dusk began to fall. We passed slowly through the gateway into the city, finally arriving at a spot to park up and start assembling our camp. Over the next two days we would rise late and wander through this strange land to which we had journeyed, meeting the other participants who had travelled there from around the globe to build art, create camps, give away food and services, build roller coasters, perform music, dance, have fun and express themselves in a thousand different ways. In other words we had a great time.
On the Wednesday evening a few of us decided that we would stay up all night, with the plan of walking out to the eastern edge of the city to watch the sun rise over the mountains. Ken and I had stuck together all night, and as the early hours drew on it seemed we were the only two still up. Our companions had one by one gone to bed or wandered away to find their own adventures. I almost crashed out myself, and then around half four I started to see the first hints of tomorrow in the sky to the east and resolved to stay on. So picture the scene. Were dancing at a club in the middle of the desert with an array of weirdly costumed half-naked folk dancing and smiling around us at four-thirty on a Thursday morning. And then I notice this girl. Shes dancing near to us and I wonder why. And then I realise that shes quite clearly dancing with Ken, who as I may have mentioned is oblivious to female attention in this kind of situation. I needed to go to the toilet so I leaned across and said, Hey Fella, that girls dancing with you. She clearly likes you. Why dont I go to the loo, and when I get back you can have invited her to come out with us to watch the sun rise? Sure, replies Ken, dancing away, so off I go. Sure enough when I get back and ask if were all set, Ken beckons to his new friend and she joins us, picking up our coats and bags of water. Im introduced to her and she mounts this weird looking three-wheel trike and cycles alongside us off towards the east.
She and Ken have started a conversation about science fiction and in particular the novel hes writing, so as we near the Temple to the east of the city, I mutter some excuse about wanting to walk right out to the boundary fence and slowly move further and further away. Subtly done I thought. So off I go and watch the sun rise and return to my bed feeling like Ive had a night well spent. I dont see Ken for the next three days. Apparently, some of my camp mates tell me, he has returned to pick up a few of his things once, but the tent hes sleeping in remains suspiciously empty. On Saturday afternoon he returns with this young lady and tells us that hell be travelling back to San Francisco with her on Sunday afternoon. So having packed up the rest of his kit, which is loaded into our car, they head out to watch the Man burn. On the Sunday morning, its time to leave so we pack up our things, giving away much of our remaining food and water. Three of the guys take the RV back to Vegas, where theyre flying out from the next day, and I drive the others back to San Francisco. We return our hire car and enjoy our first running water for a week. What a relief, let me tell you. That playa dust gets everywhere. But by Monday evening Im starting to worry. Weve heard nothing of Ken, and were flying out the next morning. My main concern is Lin, Kens mother, who can at times be a formidable lady and to whom Im clearly going to have to explain that I lost her little boy somewhere in the desert. I mean hes never left Europe before. What am I going to say? Wheres my son Dan? I left him in the desert with some strange American girl wed never met before and he didnt come back. Sorry.
Then I get a call on my cell phone, and a female voice says, Hi, its Rachel. And my first thought is, whos Rachel? But then she reminds me that we had actually been introduced in the early hours of the morning five days previously and goes on to explain that Ken wont be coming back with me the next morning, partly because he wants to spend a few more days in town with her, and partly because hes lost his passport in the desert. So an hour or so later Ken turns up at our hostel to collect his things and before he can get a word out, G and I switch on the video camera weve been recording our travels with and point it at him. Man where have you been, whatve you been up to? we demand. Now I really wish you could watch the video of this moment because it says it all, but Ill try to re-enact it as best I can. Ken looks straight at the camera with this curious grin on his face and says, Its been a long strange journey. A year ago I had my heart broken, but Ive travelled to another continent where its been mended. Ive met an amazing girl called Rachel and Im going to marry her. Now here on the video the picture kinda dips, because Im holding the camera to my cheek and my face is doing this :-o. I pan around to G and he looks like this :-o. We made a few jokes, like Great. Next year when we come to Burning Man well have somewhere in San Francisco to store our things. But after they left that evening, having collected Kens things, to be honest what we were really thinking was: Kens been in the desert for a week, its a pretty crazy kinda place, lot of exciting things to do, not a lot of sleep, hes had a few beers, little too much sun, kinda dehydrated. You know, hes met this nice girl who he likes but its clearly a holiday romance, its not going to last. Hell get over it. And to be honest, I carried on thinking that way for a few weeks after we got back. Until Rachel came to England. Now Ive seen Ken around his flat for the last two years and I know him pretty well. Hes a guy who can be very protective of his own space. He needs space to live, and I thought that Rachel would come over and be in that space and he wouldnt like it. But then I saw that she wasnt in his space, she was part of his space. And the more I got to know her the more I realised that he was part of her space too and theyre both genuinely committed to maintaining that. The story I just told you, over the last year, Ive related to all kinds of people. Mainly cos its a great story and one that Ive thought about a lot. It still seems to me a fairly crazy tale when I say it out loud. And people react to it in all kinds of ways. Some laugh, some scoff and dismiss it, some smile and find joy. But actually, now I realise that for me its a tale of hope. I think about my two friends and their good fortune in finding one another, and the joy and happiness that they look forward to bringing one another, and their children, Ive no doubt, for the rest of their lives. And it gives me hope. I hope that one day Ill be in the desert, or maybe at a party, or in the street, or queuing in a shop, and Ill meet a girl, and Ill just know. So theres that. So heres to the desert, and heres to hope, and heres to Ken and Rachel.

The latest round of fabrics from both American and English companies have been showing solids and patterns in very "Lily Pulitzer" style colors combos like pink & green, turquoise& white, yellow & cobalt.Very 1980's preppy. What do you think? | |||
I had to look up "Lily Pulitzer" (I must admit I don't have your knowledge, Charles), and I think the colors are lovely! I would personally have difficulty working them into my neutral home, but I'd love to wear them. I think it's interesting that decor is taking a bolder turn. I've heard that we all go beige when the economy is poor. Maybe things are looking up!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Annett, | ||||
Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember the original Lily Pulitzer and her take on the "shift dress" popularized by Jackie Kennedy. The buoyant Palm Beach colors and patterns used by Lily P. were adopted by "preppies" in the 80s, but not so much in NYC, where the color black reigned. The fad didn't last long. Those juicy colors may be fun for younger folks who are just discovering Lily Pulitzer, but to my older, jaded eyes they remind me of young, wealthy matrons from the 60s who spent their days lunching, playing tennis and hanging out in the country club, while ogling the cabana boys. | ||||

[JURIST] JURIST's Paper Chase has outgrown the confines of JURIST's front page, and is about to move to a new webpage all its own. Paper Chase updates will be very intermittent over the next couple of days as we make the transition, and our front page is adjusted accordingly. Paper Chase will still be accessible from here, but what you will see will be rolling highlights of Paper Chase's RSS feed (the URL of which, by the way, will not change) rather than the weblog itself. Stay tuned!

[JURIST] Monday on SSRN:Law, Rules and Presidential Selection [abstract] by Samuel Issacharoff [faculty profile] of Columbia Law School [official website]From the Abstract: "Robert Dahl, in 'How Democratic is the American Constitution?' criticizes the institution of the Electoral College as 'morally, politically, and constitutionally wrong.' This Article addresses the third of those claims. Dahl's critique, like many directed against the Electoral College, presumes a constitutional commitment to majoritarianism. This Article examines the rather commonplace departures from strict majoritarian rule in the Constitution, and concludes that the distortions from majoritarian preferences created by the Electoral College are actually much smaller in scope than those created by the U.S. Senate, the Article V amendment process and, to some extent, the House of Representatives. Moreover, subsequent constitutional developments - namely the 'Reapportionment Revolution' of Baker v. Carr and later cases - have not enshrined a constitutional principle of simple majoritarianism that might undermine the constitutional foundation of the Electoral College."

The App Inventor project was led by Hal Abelson, the Class of 1922 Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, who spent a sabbatical year at Google as a visiting professor. Instead of having to write traditional computer code, users of App Inventor can create programs by snapping together virtual, color-coded instruction "blocks." For instance, to add a button to an application, the user would drag the button block into App Inventor's workspace window and determine the button's visual properties by selecting from pull-down menus. Then, to determine what the button will do, the user would snap a block that defines a function — like emitting a noise, or making a phone call, or changing the screen's background color — into the button block.
The App Inventor blocks are based on the MIT master's thesis of Ricarose Roque, for which she built a general version of a programming interface that Eric Klopfer, the director of MIT's Teacher Education Program, had developed for a simulation program called StarLogo. StarLogo, in turn, began as the PhD thesis of Mitchel Resnick, who heads MIT's Media Arts and Sciences Program, and whose graduate advisors were Abelson and Seymour Papert, a pioneer of educational computing.
Papert, who came to MIT in 1963, is most famous for inventing Logo, a simple computer language designed to introduce young children to the principles of programming. Initially, programs written in Logo would guide a robot with a pen attached to its undercarriage — a "turtle" — across a sheet of paper, executing a drawing. In the late 1960s, when Abelson was a graduate student at MIT, he helped Papert begin testing the system in Boston-area schools.
From Logo to Lego
"You really have to try hard to get into the mindset of that time, because a computer in those days was something that cost several million dollars," Abelson says. "And the idea that you would take the most advanced computing research equipment around anywhere, and you would let fifth graders … start playing with it, it was just mind boggling. For the first 10 years of that, people just thought we were nuts."
But that changed in the 1980s, Abelson says, when personal computers started invading elementary- and secondary-school classrooms. Many of today's software-company executives first learned the principles of programming from a later version of Logo, in which a virtual turtle executed drawings on a computer screen.
Resnick's PhD thesis was an extension of Logo called StarLogo, which enabled the interaction of hundreds or even thousands of turtles in complex simulated environments. "I was particularly interested in issues around emergent phenomena and decentralized systems," Resnick says. "How do bird flocks work? How do the individual actions of individual birds lead to the behavior of a flock? Or how do ant colonies work? Or how do traffic jams form? Or how do market economies work, where there's lots of individual buyers and sellers, but you get these larger-scale patterns that develop? I was interested in helping people understand how large-scale patterns arise from lots of local interactions. That's always been a very difficult thing for people to understand. So the idea was to try to provide a way for people to play with those ideas by giving very simple rules to lots of individual objects."
After graduating, Resnick became a professor in the MIT Media Lab, where he began developing a Logo-like system that would allow children to program robots built from Lego bricks with electromechanically activated moving parts. The project ultimately resulted in Lego's Mindstorms kits. But along the way, an undergraduate named Andy Begel, who's now at Microsoft Research, developed a graphical programming language — a precursor to the App Inventor's programming blocks — as a way to let kids program their Lego robots more intuitively.
Begel's system influenced the software for Mindstorms, and Resnick and Klopfer have continued to expand on its central ideas, for two different projects. Klopfer's is a 3-D adaptation of StarLogo called StarLogo TNG, which can be used to build video games, among other things. Resnick's is Scratch, a successful educational system, launched in 2007, that allows children to design their own interactive stories and games for the Web. "We've been able to stay in touch about what's going on, and we're now having a chance to revisit what we were doing and making version two of both of our projects," Klopfer says. "We made some different design decisions along the way, and I think that was really great as research projects, because we can really learn from each other's successes and failures."
For her master's thesis, Roque decoupled Klopfer's programming blocks from StarLogo, so that they could be reused in other software systems — and indeed, they were the basis for the App Inventor programming interface. And because Scratch is so popular — hundreds of thousands of registered users have used it create more than a million projects — members of Resnick's group have been consulting with Google about how to build an online community around the system.
But beyond using actual code that was developed at MIT, Abelson says, the Google App Builder project was also motivated by the same philosophy that drove Papert's "nutty" experiments in the 1960s. "It strikes me that most of the people who are teaching introductory programming have gotten out of step with the reality of how kids experience computing," Abelson says. "It's not about sitting at a desktop computer. It's about these incredibly powerful computers that you now carry around with you that can do location-aware things, and they can find your friends, and they can make phone calls and do other stuff. App Inventor, as an educational program, is about giving young people who are trying to learn about computing power over the real computing that they're using in their lives."

Oujda : Michelin's recommendations
Oujda, in the eastern tip of Morocco, is the capital of the Oriental region. It is a large town built in an arid area on the Angad Plains and shut off from oceanic influences by the barrier of the Rif and Middle Atlas, and from the Mediterranean oceanic influences by the Beni-Snassen Mountains. While Oujda is limited as a tourist destination – although the proposed renovation of its medina might make it more appealing – the town is an ideal point of departure for exploring the area.

Welcome to the Strategic National Stockpile Program in New Mexico
New Mexico's Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) program relies on the coordination and collaboration of many partners. At the state level, planning is focused on receiving and distributing the SNS assets with the help of state agency partners like the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, New Mexico Department of Public Safety, New Mexico Department of Transportation, New Mexico National Guard, and New Mexico Board of Pharmacy. These agencies help support our operations by providing security, transportation, warehouse needs and overall planning. To view New Mexico's Medical Countermeasures (MCM) Plan, click here.
A major part of SNS planning is mass dispensing of medical countermeasures, known in New Mexico as Medical Countermeasure Operations. This enormous task is taken on by local communities and coordinated by the New Mexico Department of Health, Public Health Regional Offices throughout the State. Partners include local agencies like emergency management, law enforcement, tribal affiliates, fire, non-profit organizations, schools, local planning committees, hospitals, private contractors and many more. There are currently five Public Health Regions responsible for putting together Regional Countermeasure Distribution Plans. Plans incorporate surrounding cities, towns and counties to ensure wide coverage for New Mexicans. Click here to learn more about New Mexico's Medical Countermeasure planning.
What is SNS?
The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is a national repository of antibiotics, chemical antidotes, antitoxins, life-support medications, IV administration, airway maintenance supplies and medical/surgical items. The SNS is designed to rapidly supplement and re-supply local and state public health agencies in the event of a national public health emergency.
Twelve-hour Push Packages containing pharmaceuticals, antidotes and medical equipment are the first deployment of supplies. These Push Packages are positioned in strategically located, secure warehouses ready for immediate release within 12 hours of the federal decision to deploy SNS assets.

Hedge Fund News EH Report
Manager interviews 'Mizuho-Eurekahedge Index' goes live Asian Hedge Fund Awards Conferences Fund Launches and Closures Archive
Hedge funds were down 0.23% in December as global markets continued to be volatile in the last month of 2011. The Eurekahedge Hedge Fund Index finished the year with losses of 4.15%, the second-worst return for the index since its inception in 2000. Hedge funds outperformed the underlying markets by 5.8% during the year however; the MSCI World Index1 was down 0.4% in December and 9.9% for the year.
The Mizuho-Eurekahedge Top-100 Index, which tracks the assets and performance of the largest 100 hedge funds globally, was up 1.90% in 2011 showing that larger funds performed significantly better than smaller hedge funds. Larger hedge funds also gained most of the year's positive asset flows. The global hedge fund industry attracted US$51.2 billion during the year, with total assets under management (AuM) rising to US$1.71 trillion.
Net assets decreased in December by US$6.6 billion with net negative asset flows of US$7 billion, and performance-based growth of US$0.4 billion. Investor sentiment remained low at the end of the year, resulting in some redemptions, while portfolio rebalancing also accounted for some of the negative asset flows. Going forward this capital is expected to be reallocated in 1Q 2012 to the strategies that performed well in 2011.

Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering
Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering
Funding Type:
Shared Labs
Grant Number:
Approved funds:
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
iPS Cell
Public Abstract:
Regenerative medicine is an emerging area that will only realize its great potential through novel collaborative research approaches, and the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) is well positioned to make significant contributions by leveraging fundamental biomedical research efforts with enabling technologies in materials, microfluidics and bioengineering. This proposal details plans for the development and renovation of shared-use laboratory facilities for the culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESC). The Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering will be designed to promote stem cell research by investigators at UCSB, as well as those at neighboring universities and research institutions on the California central coast. Availability of a core stem cell laboratory will facilitate expansion of current stem cell studies at UCSB and stimulate new investigations into the biology and engineering of stem cells. The Laboratory will be embedded within a new UCSB Center for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering that is planned for the 3rd and 4th floors of Biological Sciences 2 building. Our clientele will include researchers in 13 different Departments and Institutes at UCSB, as well as nearby institutions. Research supported by the facility will include: investigations of the molecular mechanisms of hESC proliferation and differentiation; translational bioengineering to study novel methods of hESC culture, sorting, and delivery; and studies in regenerative medicine that test hESC derivatives in animal models of disease.
Statement of Benefit to California:
California, like much of the United States, is facing a staggering challenge to its health care system. Increasingly physicians are treating chronic, debilitating, and therefore expensive diseases with organ specific impairments. Examples include diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Parkinson's disease. The demographic wave of the Baby Boomers will accelerate many of these issues. By 2020 they will average 64 years of age. As a result, the percentage of the elderly in California is expected to grow from what was 14 percent in 1990 to 22 percent in 2030.
Treatment of chronic degenerative diseases of an aging population, which is proportionally a high percentage along the Central Coast, is an imperative. Degenerative diseases are those diseases caused by the loss or dysfunction of cells. Examples include cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, Parkinson's disease, osteoporosis, and macular degeneration. Among these, stem cell work at UCSB would leverage a strong existing program in macular degeneration, a condition that is not being addressed in the stem cell field nationally or in California. Stem cell work for eye disease holds the promise of being a poster child for the entire field. There is no doubt that an early clinical success will benefit the state.
In terms of advanced biomedical research our geographic region is not well represented, but its engineering sector is primed with enabling technology. The area is ripe for growth in biotechnology that would serve as a pipeline to large pharmaceutical corporations as stem cell technologies move toward the clinic. The proposed Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering will promote this movement and enhance the research stature of The University and attract leading researchers to California.

Financial Aid OfficeHumanities & Student Services Bldg. OC Bremerton360.475.7160 or 1.800.259.6718, Ext. 7160Hours: Mon -Thurs. 9 am - 4:30 pmFri. Closed for processing
The Office of Student Financial Services is pleased to assist you in accessing the various types of financial aid available to meet your educational goals at OC.
STEP 1: Complete OC Admissions Application (new students only)STEP 2: Complete FAFSA (OC school code 003784)STEP 3: Complete Data Sheet and other required documents (if requested) for 2013-2014 (Students may retrieve these documents in their financial aid portal, or by visiting the financial aid office)
APRIL 15, 2013 is the financial aid PRIORITY PROCESSING DATE for the 2013-2014 academic year. All files completed by or on the priority date will be given maximum consideration for 2013-2014 financial aid eligibility. You may still apply for financial aid AFTER the priority date if you plan to attend subsequent quarters in the award year. The Financial Aid Office cannot guarantee that you will be awarded before you register. Awards issued to students who applied after the priority processing deadline are subject to the availability of state and federal funds.
APRIL 15, 2014 is the financial aid PRIORITY PROCESSING DATE for the 2014-2015 academic year. All files completed by or on the priority date will be given maximum consideration for 2014-2015 financial aid eligibility. You may still apply for financial aid AFTER the priority date. The Financial Aid Office cannot guarantee that you will be awarded before you register and/or before the summer quarter begins. Awards issued to students who applied after the priority processing deadline are subject to the availability of state and federal funds. Information about the 2014-2015 FAFSA becomes available in the portal typically in mid to late-February 2014, and no later than March 2014. Please check your portal often!
Once you have completed the steps above, it is recommended you monitor the progress of your application on the Financial Aid portal as well as download the documents we need from you. You will also be able to view any awards offered to you. Note that information for the 2014-2015 including forms will not be available on the portal or in the forms directory until mid to late-February or early March. Click on the financial aid portal link in the upper right hand corner of this page to link to the portal.
When the financial aid office receives the FAFSA and all required documentation, the file is considered complete, and is scheduled for review/award in the date order that the file was complete. During the review process, more documentation may be requested from you to clarify data if there are any noted inconsistencies or inaccurate information. Your file will not be processed or awarded until the additional information requested is submitted and reviewed. Please check your financial aid portal weekly for additional document requests or comments from the reviewer, until you have been awarded. After you are awarded we recommend that you continue to check the financial aid portal periodically during the quarter (and after grades are released) so that you will be aware of any changes to your award package.
Generally, 30% of all FAFSA applications are randomly selected for verification by the Department of Education. The financial aid professionals may also select an application for verification to clarify inconsistent information. In the verification process, the school is required to verify certain information. Any discrepant information must be resolved before an offer of aid will be made. Students who have been selected for the verification process must submit a completed verification worksheet and other documents requested by the school.If during the verification process it is determined that a correction to FAFSA data needs to be made, the financial aid professionals will correct the data. You will be notified via the portal that a correction is pending. Please do not make any changes to your FAFSA once verification has been submitted. ONLY submit verification documents if you are selected for verification. All students who received untaxed military benefits during the past year are required to turn in a Leave and Earning Statement (LES) from December of the prior year, or when separation from the armed forces occurred. Students may also satisfy this requirement by completing the Untaxed Military Benefit Form.
It may take 3 to 6 weeks to process your application. The clock begins ticking when your application is considered complete (see FILE REVIEW PROCESS above). The length of processing time depends on our application volume at the time you apply. Applications that are selected for verification require additional steps and therefore additional time to process. Check the financial aid portal frequently (even after you have been awarded), and follow up promptly with any additional information our office requires from you.
All financial aid refunds/disbursements are now issued by Higher One. Students will receive an Olympic Advantage card in the mail (make sure your address is correct in both the Financial Aid Office and Registration Office). Once you receive the card, you MUST activate your card AND choose how you want to receive your financial aid disbursement refund. Look for the BRIGHT GREEN envelope in your mail. When you receive it simply follow the steps included with your card online at: www.olympicadvantagecard.com. Financial aid (grant aid) is issued to the school the first day of each quarter. Student loans are issued after 30 days into the quarter. Funds are applied to your tuition and fees first. Any amount in excess of tuition and fees will be issued to you according to the choice you made when you activated your Higher One account. More information about Higher One Olympic Advantage card: Click here for more information
NOTE!! Financial aid is awarded based on full-time enrollment (12+ credits). If your financial aid has been awarded and you register for LESS THAN 12 CREDITS, you must complete a Change of Enrollment form and submit it to our office. Financial aid (disbursement) refunds may be delayed if you do not notify the office of your enrollment change. Go to the current year Forms page to download the Change of Enrollment form and submit it to the Financial Aid Office. NOTE!!! If you are currently FOLLOWING AN APPROVED EDUCATION PLAN as part of an extension of aid beyond program limits then you MUST register for ONLY those classes as approved within your education plan, even if this means you are not enrolled full-time. If you register for classes that are NOT approved on your education plan, your financial aid award may be reduced or rescinded altogether.
MONDAY - THURSDAY: 9 AM - 4:30 PM FRIDAY: Closed for processing

I believe it helps with timing to load more guests that are still in the load room.
I believe it helps with timing to load more guests that are still in the load room.
I actually phrased that quite poorly. I recently read the Epcot encyclopedia that covered the history of all Epcot attractions and I think that room is where guests are "held" while others are behind in the Dinosaur room and new guests are boarding in the load / unload room.
Hi Rick! So your question is actually quite perceptive... This room used to house large video monitors and maps of the world showing current and future energy resources around the world. It's function was very much what it is today (a sort of holding room as the vehicles caught up with each other after their trip through the diorama).
Here is a fantastic video (that I also link to from my site) of the original attraction and it's history:
Martin's Videos search results: universe of energy
The room you're talking about begins right around the 34 minute mark of this video.
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.Visited In: 1983, 1988, 1989 x2, 1991, 1992, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (passholder), 2007 (x2 x3), 2008, 2009 (x2), 2010, 2011 (x2)
Detail is there to make you believe in the reality of the story youre immersed in. - Joe Rohde
Thanks for the responses. I knew the room must have functioned for something more than just another room. That is a great video BTW, BamaJenn.

Kemba Walker might be the answer, but I doubt it. He was sensational at UConn and won a NCAA title, but he was extremely under-whelming as a rookie last year. After all, he's an under-sized combo guard with "barely there" point guard skills.
If you ask me, he's not the guy that is going to get Charlotte back to the playoffs. He might play a helping hand, but right now, he's not the player he needs to be to be "the answer". When Ramon Sessions is more balanced, you know you've still got some work to do.
Gerald Henderson isn't the guy, either. He's a fine offensive player with a sweet stroke, but can he carry the Bobcats? I'm pretty sure we all know the answer to that. B.J. Mullens is a solid big man with a lot of potential. But it's not like he's the next Kevin Love or Tim Duncan. He doesn't rebound as well as he should, and his defense leaves something to be desired. And even when you have your defensive gem in Bismack Biyombo, you're lacking offensive polish.
So, really, it is going to come down to the freshest face in Charlotte: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Can he be the guy to get them to the next level?
Brace yourselves: probably not.
MKG is a fine young talent. He wasn't taken as the #2 overall pick for nothing. He has impressive size and length, elite athleticism, and can literally do everything you ask of him at a solid level.
Unfortunately, he's not Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. He's not elite at creating his own shot. His perimeter game needs major work. He's still rough around the edges offensively. But what do you expect from an 18 year old small forward?
No, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is not the league's next superstar. That's not to say he can't be, though. He's still so young and has limitless potential if he puts in the work.
No, he's not Charlotte's savior. He's not going to be that one guy that rises above the rest, leads the league in scoring, and hits or takes every clutch shot. But I also don't think he has to be.
The days of one guy carrying a team on his back are arguably long gone. Those days of showdowns between Allen Iverson and Vince Carter or Kobe vs. Shaq's latest team are no more. Not only because one player can't win by themselves anymore, but because the league itself is changing.
So, too, are the Charlotte Bobcats. In the middle they have two promising big men. One is an elite defender, and the other has a smooth jumper. At guard they have a sound shooter, and leading the way (for now) is a clutch performer with developing skills.
No, Kidd-Gilchrist isn't the savior. He won't do it all on his own. But he's got the intangibles that you can't teach. He's fresh off of a national championship. He has size and athleticism for days. And he has youth on his side.
He's not the game-changer just yet, but he very well could be the missing piece to the puzzle. A puzzle that formulates an actual team for these Charlotte Bobcats for the first time in a while.

The Gross Clinic was sold to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in January 2007. A replica now hangs in the Eakins Gallery.
Thomas Eakins took a second course of anatomy at Jefferson Medical College in 1874, when he attended surgical lectures and clinics presided over by Professor Samuel D. Gross. who was one of America's most distinguished and influential surgeons, physicians, anatomists, authors, and teachers.
As chair of surgery from 1856 to 1882, Dr. Gross inspired thousands of Jefferson medical students and assistants with his articulate lectures, calm judgment, mechanical dexterity, and contributions to surgical technique. Gross was author or editor of hundreds of articles and many books. His two-volume System of Surgery of 1859, perhaps his best known work, appeared in six editions and in several foreign languages. Gross was deeply involved in local, national, and international medical societies and was a founder and office holder of many. His numerous institutional honors and awards reflect his acclaim as the "Nestor of American Surgery" (a wise leader and patriarch named after the legendary Greek hero).

A For ClevAr: Mario Piranha Plant Biting Earrings
This is a pair of Mario Piranha Plant earrings from Etsy seller Lizglizz (not to be confused with Les Glass, the patriarch of J.D. Salinger's fictional Glass family. I know -- I was lost for a second too). They look like they're biting your lobes, but they're really not -- there's actually a post hidden in their mouths. Pretty clever, right? I thought so.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention -- this is just soooooo good." Ugh, this is why you're fat. I said you're gonna die. "Can I have another scoop?" F*** it, HAVE IT ALL.

Hello all,
All I am trying to do is set up a situation in which one bit of text is then replicated all throughout the document where the linked text should be.
So, for example, in a contract, I want to type into one area that the clients name is "Tim" and wherever a 'placeholder' is the text gets updated to reflect "Tim"
For example:
Client "Tim"
This agreement is between tim and so on.
Tim guarantees to sell me a rocket etc. Tim warrants that he will pay by 2020 etc.
Only updating the first "tim".
I've searched and searched and read help files for hours. Driving me insane.
Please, please, tell me how to manage this simple task?
Yours sincerely
One solution would be to use a custom text variable. Edit the variable and all instances will change.
The big downside is that variables don't wrap, so if the text is too long to fit the width of the line it will compress on iself, and if the string is long, but will fit on a line, it may move the whole variable to thenext line leaving a gap at the end of the previous line.
For example, a new client is taken on.
The fields are:
Our legal entities personality
Company Name
Company Address
Company type
Region of operation
and more that I cannot remember right now, the thing is like 200 pages long. They all appear anywhere from 5 to 50 times each.
The text/data is currently stored in an access database and in excel.
It has to be entered someplace. If it's "just in your noodle" why is it harder to create 15 variables in a template and edit the values than it is to type the text directly into the document once?
If you keep a spreadsheet of this stuff you can export a text file and do a data merge (and pick one record), but either way, you have to do some up front work to make a template, and type in the info someplace.

ø Ignore PiratecatEN World's Piratecat to moderate WotC's Gen Con Keynote Address
Kevin Kulp, EN World's admin Piratecat, has been asked by Wizards of the Coast to DM.. err, facilitate their Gen Con keynote address on the future of Dungeons & Dragons. He'll be up on stage with Senior R&D Manager Mike Mearls and other panelists, asking questions and guiding the presentation.
Here's the keynote's description with the revised location.
Future of Dungeons & Dragons Keynote
Company: Wizards of the Coast
Description: This unprecedented look into the future of Dungeons & Dragons includes the evolution of the game, the re-birth of a fantasy setting and the next generation of art. Wizards of the Coast is proud to host the first-ever keynote address at Gen Con on Thursday, August 16th to share with D&D fans whats in store for the game that has changed gaming forever. Speakers include President and CEO of Wizards Greg Leeds, Senior Manager for D&D Research and Design Mike Mearls and some of the greatest creative minds in the industry. The keynote begins at 7:00 PM in the Indiana Roof Ballroom, located at 140 W. Washington Street (note that this is a location change) and will be live-streamed at DungeonsandDragons.com/events.
While we're probably prejudiced, I think it's great that they want to represent the fan base enough that they asked us to help out. We're looking forward to this.

Day 14 brought a notable landmark for the FIFA World Cup™ and also for Italy, but FIFA.com figures show this is not a tournament the Azzurri will look back on with any joy.
games in the FIFA World Cup was reached with the Paraguay-New Zealand fixture in Polokwane.
games for Italy in the competition is not a landmark they will remember with any fondness after today's defeat by Slovakia. Their first fixture took place in Rome on 27 May 1934 when they beat USA 7-1. Only Brazil and Germany (who will both have played 95 matches by the end of the first round) have featured in more games than the Azzurri.
international goals have been scored for Denmark by Jon Dahl Tomasson making him the joint-top scorer in the national team's history along with Poul Nielsen. Tomasson had to show patience before reaching that mark – his previous goal was more than two years ago against Slovenia on 6 February 2008. Tomasson is also Denmark's leading FIFA World Cup marksman with five.
years ago was the last time Italy failed to qualify from the first round of a FIFA World Cup. In the Germany tournament of 1974 they beat Haiti and drew with Argentina but the defeat by Poland in the last group game meant they missed out on a qualifying place on goal difference.
games have been contested by Cameroon at six different FIFA World Cups making them the first African nation to reach the milestone. They have won four games and drawn seven but with three defeats this is their worst-ever campaign.
years and nine days is the full span of Rigobert Song's career in the competition - making him fourth in the list of players for FIFA World Cup longevity. Mexico goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal leads the field with a span totalling 16 years and 25 days. Song is the only African player to figure in four editions – 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2010.
times the Netherlands have faced African opponents and on each occasion they have won or drawn while at the same time conceding a single goal. They also faced Egypt (1-1 in 1990), Morocco (2-1 in 1994) and Côte d'Ivoire (2-1 in 2006).
draws and a defeat from three group games makes this the worst performance by an Italy side at a FIFA World Cup. It is the first time they failed to win a game in a tournament and the first time they finished bottom of their group.
FIFA World Cup has seen both the previous tournament's finalists depart after the first round stage – South Africa 2010. Since 1954 when the competition's first round became a contest of four groups of four teams the only comparable showing was in 1966 when Czechoslovakia (beaten finalists in 1962) did not qualify and Brazil, reigning world champions, did not survive beyond the first phase.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - The Marshall football team's offense was a one-trick pony for much of the 2012 season, but what a trick it was.
The Thundering Herd threw 607 passes last season, the most in Conference USA and behind only Mike Leach's pass-always Washington State team for the most in the Football Bowl Subdivision. That put Marshall and quarterback Rakeem Cato at the top of the FBS passing charts, but it didn't put them in the postseason.
Marshall's passing numbers through its first two games are solid, but nowhere near where they were a season ago. That doesn't bother the Herd at all. The overall yards and points are still among the nation's best, but it's a more balanced attack, one Marshall wants to continue this Saturday at Ohio University (8 p.m., ESPNews).
"I've said since day one that we may not have as good of stats, but we are a better offense," Marshall Coach Doc Holliday said. "We had a lot of stats last year, but now we're a more balanced team. We're a better offense than last year because of being able to run the ball when we need to and still have the ability to throw it really well."
Marshall ran the ball 480 times last year, when many teams try to keep the ratio closer to a 50-50 split or spend more time running than passing. A number of last year's plays were run-pass options, Cato said, and it was up to him to either put the ball in the running backs' hands or pull it back and throw. Last year, he said, opposing defenses, at least at the beginning, based their evaluations of him on his so-so freshman season. That became their mistake.
Now they see he can put up conference MVP numbers and Cato sees more defensive formations where the run is the better play. Against Miami (Ohio) and Gardner-Webb, the Herd has run the ball 97 times and thrown 72 times. Cato said there are great benefits to keeping an opposing defense guessing.
"It's a great thing know I can throw for 200 yards, the running backs can run for 300 yards and we're just doing everything together as one whole offense," he said. "We just have to capitalize on whatever they're doing to us."
Marshall's passing numbers have dipped so far, from an FBS-leading 365.1 yards per game last year to 286.0 yards this year, ranking 36th.
But the rushing numbers have jumped from 169.2 yards per game last year (54th in the FBS) to 264.0 yards per game (25th in the FBS). The Herd is averaging 550 yards of total offense in 2013, 17th best in the FBS, yet above its 534.3-yard average last year. It's also averaging 53.5 points per game, ninth best in the FBS and above its 40.9-point average from 2012.

It is everything I hoped for in a treadmill and more. I can t wait for the next day so I can use my NordicTrack. If you re thinking about getting this treadmill don t waste any more time thinking about it just go and purchase it your be Happy you Did.
