These plants are the perfect size if you have toddlers & want to make baby bouquets to play with. These little plants are also very tough, I managed to propagate them with their cuttings.
Roses Review by Kristi - Suamico, WI
Posted on 2013-01-02 22:07:21
My info: I have never grown roses. I live in Northern WI. I LOVE these roses. Upon arrival they were a bit suspect...plugs. I planted them in a pot and kept them indoors until May. Then their home was on my front walk. It took about two weeks for them to acclimate and start growing. After I put them outside they never stopped growing and blooming. Even with the scorching 100 degree summer. There were constant buds and blooms. I watered very frequently and on the hottest days moved them into shade. I had three plugs in one 12" pot. The first year they did not crowd each other. The actual flowers are a little smaller than the size of a half dollar coin. I didn't remember to smell them :( This winter I have put the pot in a closet indoors, in a cool part of the house and have watered them infrequently. Some of the leaves have remained green but, most are yellow or gone. I plan to put them back in their spot next May.

I bought these two years ago. They came as 15 inch twigs. By the end of the summer, they were 30 inches tall and bloomed all summer. The next year they are almost 5 feet tall and bloom constantly. I feed them Miracle Grow twice a month. I love them and everyone thinks the roses are FANTASTIC!!

I was ready to hate Christina Aguilera's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Super Bowl XLV. The gold standard for singing the national anthem at a Super Bowl and emoting it is Whitney Houston's performance during Operation Desert Storm, and I wasn't sure that the big-voiced Aguilera, often prone to over-emoting, could match Houston's efforts. So I watched what you'll see on this video with trepidation.
But Aguilera did a very nice job with the singing of song, even if she stretched it out, mostly in terms of pitch. Her "wave," "free," and "brave" all spanned a little more than one syllable, and she went low repeatedly to give the anthem a bit more richness. She didn't milk it nearly as much as she could have, though — she sang it in 1:54, meaning that particular Super Bowl prop bet was a push — and that was a nice relief.
Unfortunately, though, she screwed up four words — one line — by repeating "what so proudly we hailed". So I'd say that Aguilera's performance gets an A for musicality and a C+ for execution; average that out, and it's a solid B.
There aren't many great vocalists in contemporary top 40 music. What Christina Aguilera proved by singing the Super Bowl XLV national anthem as well as she did — never mind the mix-up in the lyrics — was that there's at least one left. Let's just hope she remembers all the words when next she is asked to do something like this.

What's it worth ebay
What is this cub worth? Ebay listing# 181086463831 It's not to far away.
Re: What's it worth ebay
Tractor, probably 12-17 hundred in this area depending on condition- brakes, cracks, welds, engine,etc.
The plow is an older one, but power angle is nice. I'd peg that at $500- no way you could build it for that.
Wheel weights $200
Chains not pictured $100
I have never seen one of those cabs. Looks nice, wiper too. I'll bet someone would pay up to $1000 for the cab.
the SOLD AS IS always makes me nervous when i see it so emphatic. There is an article in the Book of Knowledge on how to buy a tractor. I would look it over really close before bidding the $3000 I'll bet the seller wants.

Re: What's it worth ebay
I would be willing to say that Bob is probably bang on the money. I know I have well over $500.00 invested in the blade and the conversion - probably $350.00 for the hydraulics alone. The cab - I priced it out for steel and so far my version will probably cost around $250.00 and about the same for the glass - used bus windows. So with the the weights, chains and tractor you should be looking about $2,700.00 which would be a fair price in my mind for what there is. I would be looking at enclosing in the rest of the cab though and capturing some heat from the engine.

Re: What's it worth ebay
Just not many pics for me to spend that kind of money, and not much of a description. I think if i were close i would try to go look at it and ask more ?s.
Have A Nice Day!
Re: What's it worth ebay
36 miles one way if the driving directions are correct. Contact the seller and set up an appointment to inspect the tractor.
If you are not familiar with Cubs, suggest taking someone along who is and read over the article Bob suggested. Print it out and take with you.
Price wise. I think the selling prices suggested by other posters is correct. However, I wouldn't spend that kind of money without inspecting the tractor.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: What's it worth ebay
Heck, that is only a 4 hour drive!
Re: What's it worth ebay
I'll bet she's a real bear to get on and off of with that cab installed. Also, the cab is not doing much good without the rest of the vinyl enclosures. At that point, it's nothing more than a hinderance for getting on the tractor. I htink $4k is a bit steep for that tractor alone, with no other attachments, and the cab being incomplete. Also, it looks like a rattle can paint job, you can see that the tie rods are bent, the amp gauge is shot, seat is showing rust through at the roll seam, battery box cover is missing, holes in the grill, etc. Unfortunately, the tractor looks nice from far, but I doubt it's that nice up close (based on the photos). Someone did spend some $$ making up the hyd angle for the snow blade, but why not finish the tractor up right to begin with????? It probably does run fine, and may be better than I'm thinking after looking at the photos, but there's no way I'd spend that kind of money on it without looking it over real good in person. Just my opinion though.

4K.. I just looked at the Craigs list ad. That is too much.
Re: What's it worth ebay
The cabs alone list for a bare bones Cab from Sims around $2000. It is not a homemade cab and the back and side vinyl is probably available. Probably not much more dificult to get onto than a LoBoy. Probably worth around 3K more or less if you wanted one with a cab and snow plows with such features.

Re: What's it worth ebay
That cub is mine. It has bo cracks or welds, was painted 3 years ago with tractor supply paint with a spray gun not as a show peice, it sits outside. It was just used for the bizzard we had. I have been unable to get the curtians made doto medical issues and thats the only reason I am selling it. I never had a problem getting on and off it with the cab on. Asking 4k because of all the lowballers out ther. Any questions feel free to ask.
Re: What's it worth ebay
I had a feeling that it belonged to a member of this site. Low ballers???? Ya think, lol. Did you get the cab new and for a Cub or was it retrofitted? It probably would be easy to get the cab enclosed. A sailmaker could easily cover frames with fabric. Frame could easily be fabricated at most metal shops. Hope your medical issues go away and that you sell it for a price that makes you happy.
Re: What's it worth ebay
The cab is a Simms cab made for the cub back in I beleive the 60's. I bought it years ago and reasyored it.I did move the rear supports back to give more room. A local shop was going to make me the curtains but its not important at this time. You van find the IH ad for the cab on TMtractors website. As for the power angle plow I have every bit of $500 in the Hyd.alone.
Re: What's it worth ebay
Pretty interesting and rare....
Here is the link BOB K mentioned...
Good luck!
Re: What's it worth ebay
It is a nice Cub:
Same blade as the one I have on Ellie, works very well. Since that is a Sims gonna have to revise the estimate upwards a bit.

A local teen has died more than a week after he was brutally beaten in Genesee County.
Burton Police says 17-year-old Benjamin Tatro had been on life support ever since he was assaulted on Aug. 20.
Police said the victim was at a house party in the 1400 block of Carman Street in Burton when a fight broke out and he was brutally beaten by several men. He was transported to an area hospital where he underwent surgery for his injuries. He was then placed on life support. On Aug. 28, Tatro succumbed to the injuries he sustained from the assault.
Rickey Zinn II, 23, has been charged with open murder in the beating. He is currently lodged in the Genesee County Jail.
A second suspect was also arrested on Saturday. That suspect has yet to be identified and is awaiting charges.
Police are working to identify and arrest other people involved in the attack. Anyone with information is urged to contact Lt. Mike Odette at 810-742-2542.
Meanwhile, funeral services for Tatro will be held Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Watkins Bothers Funeral Home in Durand.

NASHVILLE - Aroldis Chapman is moving to the rotation, and in a press conference at the Winter Meetings on Monday, Dusty Baker said that Chapman has the type of stuff to be one of the team's best starters, and is a leader who will do whatever the team asks him to do.
There's always risk when it comes to moving pitchers to a new role, especially when that move is from the bullpen to the rotation, but for the Reds, who have always flirted with using Chapman as a starter, there's no time like the present for the experiment. The 2012 starting rotation -- Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Homer Bailey, Bronson Arroyo, and Mike Leake -- was the best starting rotation they have pieced together, as measured by Fair Run Average (FRA), since 1994. They also stayed healthy; four-fifths of their rotation pitched 200 or more innings, combining for 1019 innings, the most of any Reds rotation since 1985.
Saying that the Reds have talented pitchers would be an understatement. Even their weakest link, Leake, wasn't awful. In his press conference on Monday, Baker said that having six starters was a good problem to have, and he wouldn't indicate whether or not Chapman's transition meant that Arroyo or Leake, being, respectively, the oldest and weakest starters, are now trade chips. The Reds might wait until midseason to trade pitching for pennant-race reinforcements, and having a stacked staff mitigates the inherent risk in the Chapman experiment: the Reds really need Chapman to be just a fifth or even sixth starter next season, which is a much easier transition than if they were seeking an ace.
It's hard to fathom that Chapman could be more valuable to the team as a starter than he was as their closer given a 1.51 ERA and 15.2 strikeout per nine this season, but statistics show that starters are the most essential members of the pitching staff. Even though ERA tends to rise and strikeout rates fall during the transition from starting to relieving due to the mere fact of the pitcher throwing three times as many innings, they almost always provide more value for their teams for the same reason -- because 200 good innings can be as or more valuable than 60 great ones.
Recent reliever-to-starter conversions have been a mixed bag. C.J. Wilson was one of the most sought-after starting pitchers at this time last year after two seasons over 4.0 WAR with the Rangers. R.A. Dickey, who also converted in 2010, won the National League Cy Young this season for the Mets. Jeff Samardzija surprised everyone with an 3.81 ERA and an increased strikeout rate (9.3) for the Chicago Cubs this year, while on the Southside, Chris Sale went from late-inning relief ace to ace of the rotation, displaying one of the most wicked sliders you'll ever see.
Yet, for every success story, there are dozens more of pitchers who come so unglued they get demoted to the minors like Daniel Bard, or worse yet, the workload seems to cause injury (we can't ever know for sure), as it likely did for Neftali Felix this season.
Chapman was a starter in Cuba prior to signing with the Reds in 2010, but made just 16 starts in the minors, recording a 4.14 ERA. It's hard to extrapolate how Chapman will do as a starter based on his major league stats since we only have two full seasons of data, one very good and the other mediocre. Using Nate Silver's rule that relievers tend to add 25 percent to their ERA as starters, Chapman's estimated ERA would be around 2.92. This seems like an optimistic estimate, given his ERA in the minors.
When the Reds signed Chapman to a five-year, $25.5 million contract in 2010, they certainly viewed him as having the potential to pitch for them every fifth day. Nevertheless, there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about next season, including injury, his pitch arsenal, and worries that a fastball pitcher with questionable command might not fare well in longer outings.
In late September of last season, Chapman was day-to-day with left-shoulder fatigue. He has a history of shoulder problems (including a 15-day DL stint in 2011), and moving to the rotation could worsen his condition. On Monday, Baker said that the Reds were still deciding how to manage Chapman's transition to the rotation, and weren't sure if they would watch pitch counts, number of starts, or set a drop-dead date as the Nationals did this season with Stephen Strasburg. "Or he could maybe relieve early," Baker speculated, "and stretch him out."
If the Reds do not trade one of their starters this offseason, they will have the flexibility to allow for fatigue, injury, or low pitch counts for anyone in the rotation given that they already have four pitchers capable of 200-plus innings. However, even if Chapman is healthy, there is little chance that he will reach 200 innings this season-it takes time to stretch a pitcher out that far; even Chris Sale and Jeff Samardzija, the most successful converts this season, didn't hit that number-they pitched 192.1 and 174.2 innings, respectively.
The biggest reason to be skeptical of the Chapman conversion isn't the potential for injury, but rather whether his pitch arsenal, or lack thereof, is too small. When asked about it on Monday, Baker responded, "Sandy Koufax had two pitches, but you've gotta have Sandy Koufax stuff." Baker argued that having more than two pitches isn't mandatory, while conceding that having more "just helps, you know what I mean?" Simultaneously, Baker said a pitcher could go too far in the opposite direction. "I've seen guys have eight pitches, and they might as well have two because they have too many pitches."
In Chapman's case, it helps that he already has four developed pitches -- a fastball, slider, splitter, and changeup -- but you can still consider two of them untested given that he's never had to use the split or changeup as a reliever. In other words, the pitches might not be as far along as the Reds hope. As a reliever, Chapman threw his fastball 88 percent of the time (98-m.p.h. average velocity), and has shown shaky command with his slider. As for the other two pitches, BrooksBaseball.net says that he's thrown a change-up only three times in the majors. Even though Baker described Chapman's splitter as "nasty," Chapman has thrown it exactly once in the majors. Since the splitter and change-up aren't as sharp, it makes since that he'd be encouraged to limit their usage, but just because Chapman has more pitches than originally anticipated, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a good arsenal, and there's still concern about his ability to throw off-speed pitches to left-handed batters, a huge weakness when facing platoons.
As this experiment continues, you'll hear Chapman compared to Chris Sale ad nausam, since Sale is a success story of a recently converted pitcher (both tall and left-handed), but it's a ridiculous comparison when talking pitch arsenals -- Sale already had pinpoint command of his slider and change-up; for Chapman, it's the other way around.
As a starter, Chapman won't be able to replicate his 15.9 strikeouts per nine innings, but even as that rate declines, he'll still likely be above league average. His career 4.5 hits per nine is also better than league average, but his walk rate could get him in trouble. This season, he walked just 2.9 batters per nine innings, but in 2011 he walked a whopping 7.4 per nine, which would be the death of him in the rotation. In April and May of 2011, he walked 20 batters in 13 innings, which meant a trip to the minors to work on his command. While he certainly showed improvement last season in this area, it could become an issue again -- and it would be painful to watch him morph into Dontrelle Willis.
There are many reasons to doubt this experiment will work, but the Reds have such a strong core rotation entering 2013 that it likely doesn't matter how well Chapman actually performs (unless he suddenly has an 11.54 ERA and a torn labrum), just that he can handle the workload and stay healthy. In the end, it's a gamble for the Reds, but it's easier to place large bets when you already have a full house.

What does it mean if someone said "I'm a steel trap"? Thank you very much!
They may be referring to the expression "a mind like a steel trap" meaning a very sharp brain with a good memory.
Students may not have realized that this figure of speech is based on the device mentioned in Ray's joke.
Here's a steel trap. Ouch!
Thank you very much.

Flatiron District
Getting its name from the iconic Flatiron Building on the 22nd Street intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway, the Flatiron District is a small, yet bustling mid-Manhattan enclave. Once primarily commercial, the area has seen an influx of residential real estate come up alongside advertising and modeling agencies. On warm days, Madison Square Park offers the perfect urban oasis.

I updated my phone to this version, and it works faster. When i was on holiday i had to do a soft reset, because it was giving me an system error when i connected to a wireless network. After that it looks ok, the only problem i se now is that if i use a picture for the background, it doesn't show properly. It is defective on the top and on the bottom of the screen. Anyone else noticed this?

Any solution to the wallpaper problem with new firmware?
06-08-2011 15:38
i still haevnt got my uipdate yet!!
10-08-2011 12:21
I upgrade my E52 firmware since 3rd of July 2011, and can till the following:
- speed became faster.
- email defintion problems was completely solved.
- Some times internal processes keeps running on; which makes the mobile became more hoter and dramatically waste the battary (to solve it make reboot immediatly).
- Got confliect on connecting GSm network all the time; specially when auto switch between Packet Data and receiving calls or SMS; which yeilds in disconnection from GSM network while network signal still displayed as strong (to solve it make reboot).
- Fast dial up is no more functioning well.
Software version: 071.004
Custom version: 071.004.C00.01
I hope Nokia can correct these bugs soon,
Thanks ...
06-10-2011 11:10
It does seem to be more stable, but I see many people complaining about wallpapers not displaying nicely anymore.
My biggest issue is that the type-to-search function in the contacts list does not search for company name anymore. In firmware 071 it only searches first & last name. Previously you could have a contact entered with only a company name (e.g. a shop or business) and type-to-search would find it, but not anymore with 071. :-(

An early miscue and two late goals did the Dolphins in as FAU was able to beat JU 3-0 Friday night at the Ashley Sports Complex.
The growing pains continue for the Dolphins and new head coach Ryan Pratt as JU falls to 0-3-0 with the loss. The Dolphins biggest struggle has come on offense where they have scored just one goal in three games so far this season.
The Dolphins found themselves in a hole early. In the sixth minute, the Owls were able to intercept a pass in the Dolphin third of the field. Deniz Bozkurt dribbled ahead and beat Dolphin goal keeper Gavin Carlin in a one on one situation giving FAU a lead that they would never relinquish.
JU seemed to recover from the mistake and had opportunities to score throughout the game. The score remained 1-0 until the 82nd minute when Bozkurt struck again. He corralled a ball in the box and fired a shot that deflected off a JU defender and passed the outstretched Carlin for the goal.
FAU finished off the win with a free kick goal with five minutes left in regulation. Daniel Mendes struck from 20 yards out finding the upper left corner of the goal.
Overall the statistics were fairly even as FAU only enjoyed a one shot advantage, 9-8.
The game was very physical from the start as both teams ended up with double digit fouls. In total there were six yellow cards, two for FAU and four for JU.
The Dolphins return to action this Sunday when they host FIU at 3:30 pm for the second game of a double header at the Ashley Sports Complex.

By Mac Cerullo
Staff Writer
---- — NEWBURYPORT — Local psychiatrist and Fox News personality Keith Ablow announced yesterday that he would not be running for John Kerry's vacant senate seat and will instead back the candidacy of Republican State Rep. Dan Winslow.
Ablow, 51, of Newbury had previously indicated that he would consider a run if both former Sen. Scott Brown and former Gov. William Weld didn't run. When both announced they would not seek Kerry's seat, Ablow said he would only run if he had the full support of his party and could avoid a primary.
When Winslow announced his intention to run, Ablow said he spoke to his advisors and they agreed staying out of the race was his best course of action.
"As I made clear, with the sprint to the Special Election in June, a primary fight was not in my blood," Ablow said in a statement. "I have conferred with my chief advisor Roger Stone, who agreed with my assessment of a primary as an unwise choice for me."
Winslow, a two-term state representative from Norfolk and a former judge, is currently the only Republican candidate for Kerry's senate seat. If he runs unopposed for the Republican nomination, he will face the winner of the Democratic primary between Congressmen Ed Markey of Malden and Stephen Lynch of South Boston.
Ablow called Winslow a man of "great intellect, creativity and compassion," and said he would be joining Winslow's exploratory committee.
The prospect of Ablow potentially running for senate riled up a number of left-leaning groups who have accused him of using his Fox News platform to propagate anti-LGBT views. Ablow is a member of the network's "Medical A-Team" and is a frequent contributor to Fox News.
Ablow runs Baystate Psychiatry at 36 Water Street in Newburyport, and also operates a clinic in New York City as well. He is an assistant clinical professor at Tufts University School of Medicine and has worked in a number of other institutions over the course of his career.

You can apply for a change to F-1 status without leaving the U.S. if you can prove that you have maintained your current nonimmigrant status and that you qualify for the new status. In addition, you must also show that you did not falsify your entry into the US by claiming you would be doing one activity when you knew you would be doing another after you entered. For example, an individual who enters on a tourist visa and immediately applies for a change to F status will probably be denied. Individuals who enter the U.S. on the Visa Waiver Program may not change to another nonimmigrant status, but rather must leave the U.S. and obtain a new visa at an American consulate abroad.
NATO Visa Holders have a different process for applications in the U.S. and outside the U.S.
ISSS Processing Time: see posted processing times
Immigration Processing Time: 2-6 months
Application Process Overview
Step 1: Collect application materials listed in Application Packet List section below
Step 2: If materials are acceptable, ISSS will issue your F-1 visa document, the I-20
Step 3: ISSS will e-mail you information on how to pay your SEVIS Fee and where you will mail your application
Application Packet List
Completed I-539 (see further instructions below), filled out on the ISSS web site (not Immigration's site), printed and signed with blue ink
Check for $290 made out to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" with your SEVIS ID number and "I-539" in the bottom left corner; personal or cashier's checks only--no money orders
Letter explaining why you'd like to change your status (see below for more information) signed in blue ink
Passport copies:
a. biographical information in passport (usually the page with the picture)
b. your most recent visa stamp
c. if on a different page than the one with your picture, the page showing the expiration date of your passport
Original financial documentation to show you have the funding for your degree (see link in #7 below for exact amounts that must be shown)
Original I-94 card
Completed I-20/DS-2019 Request Form on ISSS web site
I-901 Receipt ($200 SEVIS Fee), paid after ISSS e-mails you your SEVIS ID number
If you are in a dependent status (e.g. F-2, J-2, H-4, etc.), you will also need to submit copies of the principal's (e.g. F-1, J-1, H-1, etc.) documents; this includes all I-20s/DS-2019s, passport (#4 above), copies of both sides of I-94 (#5 above) and a transcript if the principal is a student.
Here are some tips on filling out this form:
Page 1, Part 1
A#: unless you have been issued work permission with an EAD (Employment Authorization Document), you wouldn't have one
Date of Last Arrival/I-94#: both are on your I-94
Page 1, Part 4
Additional Information: this is your address in your home country
Page 3, Part 4
"If you answered 'No' to Question 3g": Type the following: My [father/mother/family] will support me during my studies. Please see the attached documentation.
"If you answered 'Yes' to Question 3g": provide the requested information and, if applicable, include copies of any EADs you have had.
Write a brief letter of explanation, keeping the following points in mind. In general, a successful letter is brief and:
must have the date
must be signed in blue ink
should be addressed to "To Whom It May Concern:"
must include your SEVIS U.S. address (your residence)
must include your SEVIS ID numbers
must explain what your current status is and why you'd like to change to the F-1 visa status
must describe how you will use degree earned at ODU when you return to your home country
Including Dependents on Your Application
If you are requesting a change to F-1 or J-1 and have dependents with you who will be changing to F-2 or J-2 status, please let ISSS know so we can e-mail you an additional page from the I-539. You must include proof of the relationship such as a marriage certificate or a birth certificate. However, if the dependents already have "derivative" status (e.g. H-4, F-2 or J-2), this proof is not necessary. It is necessary to submit your dependents' original I-94s, biographical information in passports and any other visa documentation.
Be sure all photopies are legible; Immigration may return your application if they can't read the information. The copies and forms should only be on 8.5" x 11" paper (A4 or "American-sized"), one-sided and have the image centered in the middle of the page. Please do not enlarge an image.
I-901 Servis Fee Receipt
Once your I-20 is issued, ISSS will e-mail you at your ODU student e-mail account (e.g. msmit001@...) with two numbers (ODU's school code and your SEVIS ID number) with instructions on how to pay your fee online. You will include the receipt you print in your application. Print a second copy to keep with your records as it is often required for many Immigration-related applications.
Application Submission & Follow-Up Correspondence
Applicants are responsible for sending their own application to Immigration. We strongly recommend you use a courier service so you can track your package and confirm its delivery. In addition to the regular tracking number, we recommend you request delivery confirmation, which will be of great help in the unlikely--but possible--situation that Immigration loses your application at a processing center. You will get a receipt in the mail two to six weeks after Immigration gets your application package. This document is very important and also has the number you can use to track your application online. Sometimes, Immigration will send an RFE (Request for Evidence) if there are questions about your paperwork or your application; please let ISSS if we can assist you with your reply to Immigration. It is important to keep a copy of the RFE and everything you submitted with it as part of your important documents.
Upon Approval of Your Change of Status
NEW STUDENTS @ ODU: If your application is approved, Immigration will send you an I-797 Approval Notice with your new I-94 at the bottom. You will then come to check-in with ISSS for the semester in which you will begin your program.
CONTINUING STUDENTS @ ODU: If your application is approved, Immigration will send you an I-797 Approval Notice with your new I-94 at the bottom. Please make an appointment with your ISSS advisor as we must issue you a new I-20 and go over the rights and responsibilities of your new status.
Begining Academic Classes
You may not begin degree-seeking coursework until ISSS has issued your new, post-approval I-20 or you have done the formal check-in process with ISSS. This cannot be done after the end of course registration; you must wait until the start of the next semester in May, August or January.
Travel After Your Status Has Changed
The next time you leave the U.S., you will need an F-1 visa stamp in your passport to return. This means you will need to go to a U.S. consulate overseas to make the application. To be sure you have the proper documents, we recommend you read over the Travel Reminders linked from the main page of our site.
Graduate Assistantships After a Change of Status
It may be that your funding is through a graduate assistantship, but please note that you cannot start work until you have your second I-20 from ISSS in-hand. You will need to do employment paperwork with ISSS before you begin your employment. You may not "volunteer" your services until the approval of your new status.
If Your Approval is Delayed
While the application is in process, it is necessary to wait for the approval before classes can be started. If your application is approved in the middle of a semester, it is necessary to wait for the next available semester, which means you must wait to begin an assistantship.
It is important that you not allow the program start date on your I-20 to pass while your application is being processed by Immigration. This means that, at least two weeks before the program start date, you must contact International Admissions to submit your deferral form. In addition, ISSS will give you a date by which you must e-mail the office to notify us of your application's status; if that date is passed without word from you, your change of status may be denied by Immigration.

CATEGORIES Comedy, Documentary, Foreign Language, Gay & Lesbian, Independent, New Releases, Family Films, Harry Potter, Columns, Features, Indie Spotlight, Movies, Columns, New Releases, CinematicalIt's a light weekend at the multiplexes, with just one new wide release to take in. The good news there is that once you're done watching James Bond kill and/or sleep with people, you'll have plenty of time to head to the art houses and see what the independent scene has to offer. The Indie Spotlight is here to round 'em up for you, and there are nine diverse choices opening today: Bohica, A Christmas Tale, Dostana, The Dukes, Faded Memories, House of the Sleeping Beauties, How About You, Slumdog Millionaire, and We Are Wizards.
Here's the lowdown on each of them:
Slumdog Millionaire
What it is: It's the feel-good sensation of the year that has critics raving, that's what! It's about a kid from the streets of Mumbai who somehow makes it to the final round of India's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" -- and in particular about the events of his life that brought him there.
What they're saying: Cinematical's Kim Voynar called it Danny Boyle's best film to date when she reviewed it at Telluride. It's rocking a 92% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes, with an average score of 8.2 out of 10, making it one of the best-reviewed movies of the year. If this movie doesn't make you feel good it must be because your heart is gnarly and cankered.
Where it's playing: New York City (Angelika, Lincoln Plaza), Los Angeles (The Landmark), Chicago (Landmark Century Centre, Century Evanston 18), San Francsico (Embarcadero).
More info: The official site has a list of when it opens in other cities. Expansion starts next week.
A Christmas Tale
What it is: A French comedy-drama about a fractured family gathering for the holidays, whereupon there are fistfights and other angst. Starring Catherine Deneuve.
What they're saying: It's tres bon! Cinematical's Kim Voynar, reviewing it at Cannes, said it's "deeply layered, intelligent." At Rotten Tomatoes, 91% of other critics have praised it, saying it might be slightly too long but that it's warm, human, and inventive.
Where it's playing: New York City (IFC Center, Lincoln Plaza) and Los Angeles (The Landmark; Laemmle's Sunset 5, Town Center 5, Playhouse 7, and Monica Fourplex).
More info: The official site is in French, FYI.
What it is: A Hindi-language comedy set in Miami about two guys who pretend to be gay in order to rent an apartment from a woman who fears straight tenants would harass her beautiful niece. What do you wanna bet the guys both fall for the niece and hilarity ensues?!!
What they're saying: No reviews so far. It's opening simultaneously in India, so no one's had a chance to see it yet.
Where it's playing: About a dozen theaters in the NYC, L.A., Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Austin, Miami, and Detroit areas.
More info: The official site plays music when you visit it. Just so you know.
The Dukes
What it is: A comedy starring Chazz Palminteri and Robert Davi as washed-up doo-wop singers who pull a heist to make some money.
What they're saying: Six of the seven reviews at Rotten Tomatoes so far are positive, calling it a cheerfully inconsequential, low-budget-but-who-cares? indie dramedy that's easily entertaining.
Where it's playing: New York City (AMC Empire 25, Cinemart, CC Village East, Malverne Cinema).
More info: The official site has a list of upcoming release dates in other cities.
House of the Sleeping Beauties
What it is: A German drama about a lonely elderly man who learns of a secret business where he can spend the night with a roomful of beautiful but unconscious women.
What they're saying: Cinematical's Nick Schager called it "agonizingly sluggish," which sounds about right for a movie about people who are asleep. The six reviews at Rotten Tomatoes are evenly split between yeas and nays. It definitely sounds ponderous and slow, which can be either good or bad.
Where it's playing: New York City (Quad Cinema).
More info: The official site has a brief list of future playdates.
Faded Memories
What it is: Romantic drama about a teenage girl who has a phobia of physical contact with other people ... until she falls in love with a hunky teenage boy, that is. The writer, director, and star is Anne-Sophie, who was 14 when she wrote it and is only 17 now. She's so young she doesn't even have a last name yet.
What they're saying: No reviews yet. I'd be curious to see it based solely on its unusual backstory, though that same backstory -- teenagers making movies -- would make me cautious about expecting anything brilliant.
Where it's playing: Los Angeles (Laemmle Town Center 5).
More info: The official site.
How About You
What it is: An Irish comedy about a woman filling in at an senior citizens' home over Christmas, with the few remaining residents misbehaving and causing mischief. Vanessa Redgrave is one of them.
What they're saying: Seven for, three against at Rotten Tomatoes, with most calling it simple, entertaining, and sweet.
Where it's playing: New York City (Paris Theatre).
More info: I can't find an official site anywhere.
What it is: A drama about the futility of war, focusing on four bored soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. The title is a military acronym for "bend over, here it comes again," which coincidentally was also the theme of my senior prom.
What they're saying: No reviews yet.
Where it's playing: Los Angeles (Regency Fairfax Cinemas 3).
More info: Hey, it has a MySpace page! Just like your mom!
We Are Wizards
What it is: A documentary about hardcore Harry Potter fandom, with particular emphasis on the Potter-inspired rock bands that have sprung up.
What they're saying: Cinematical's Kim Voynar reviewed it at SXSW and found it unfocused and pointless. She's not alone: Only two of the eight reviews at Rotten Tomatoes are positive. One of the pans says it would have been better as a bonus feature on a Harry Potter DVD.
Where it's playing: New York City (Cinema Village).
More info: The official site has a little information on where it's playing next -- Denver, to be specific.

Conversations & Encounters
Footnote is the tale of a great rivalry between a father and son. Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are both eccentric professors, who have dedicated their lives to their work in Talmudic Studies. The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. Meanwhile his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition.
Then one day, the tables turn. When Eliezer learns that he is to be awarded the Israel Prize, the most valuable honor for scholarship in the country, his vanity and desperate need for validation are exposed. His son, Uriel, is thrilled to see his father's achievements finally recognized but, in a darkly funny twist, is forced to choose between the advancement of his own career and his father's. Will he sabotage his father's glory?

PEORIA, Ill -- Democratic State Senator Dave Koehler has represented Illinois' 46th state senate district for six years. Now, he is seeking another four year term.
Dave Koehler moved to Peoria in 1978. In the early 80's he started a 6 year stint on the Peoria County board, followed by 8 years on the Peoria City Council. In 2002 Koehler helped George Shadid with his election to the state senate and in 2006 when Shadid decided against re-election Koehler ran and was elected to the seat.
"I do enjoy what I'm doing in spite of the the tough times and the tough decisions," said State Senator Dave Koehler (D).
Senator Koehler said as a public figure you have to take the good with the bad. He says two years ago the legislature cut $2 billion from the state's budget and cut another $1.6 billion last year.
"Right now it's a very tough time to be in government, but it's also a very important time," said Senator Koehler, "We have probably done more reform in the past two years because of the crisis that we're in than any other period in state's history."
Senator Koehler believes his experience and the relationships he has built will continue to bring results in Springfield, bring jobs in Central Illinois, and let him help his constituents in the 46th district.
"When you can help people solve problems, whether it's a business whether it's an individual, that's what you're there for. That's why I choose to be a state senator, I choose to run," he said.

the domain of the terminally ill, viatical settlements or arrangements – the
reassignment of a life insurance policy to a third party in return for a cash
settlement – are set to explode in the next decade as the market evolves to
include healthy seniors looking to sell their life insurance policies.
word viatical comes from the Latin word viaticum, which were the provisions
given to Roman officials as they embarked on a journey. In these settlements the
terminally ill person receives a portion of the face value of his or her life
insurance policy, if lucky enough to have one, in a lump sum.
an AIDS patient, who is working, will have insurance, but be unable to keep up
with the payments after the illness sets in. The viatical broker will re-sell
the policy to an individual or institutional investor who will receive a higher
percentage if the patient's projected life span is short.
the summer of 1996 several things happened to change the face of viatical
settlements. First, there was growing public awareness of AIDS treatment options
that have the potential of prolonging the life of AIDS victims, making the
settlement companies more cautious about their predictions of life expectancies
for AIDS patients. Second, the health reform legislation that passed made the
proceeds from viatical settlements exempt from federal taxes under some
circumstances. That made viaticals more attractive to the average life insurance
customer. There are now scores of companies in the field, with more jumping on
every year. The shorter the person lives, the higher the return. This might
strike some as ghoulish, as it should, and the scanty press coverage mentioning
that AIDS support groups view "viatical settlements as a valuable option for
AIDS patients who, due to their weakened immune system and susceptibility to
opportunistic infections, are unable to work full time or at all" distorts the
entire picture. We have to expect that from the mainstream media so lax on
spoke with Dr. Jesse LaMonda CEO of Accelerated Benefits Corporation (EDD not
MD) in Orlando Florida. He said that this scheme was a "win win situation for
all." He told me that the patient (the industry has spread to seniors too who
do not have AIDS) with AIDS needs money either for medical treatments or living
expenses, so it is a win for him. The investor gets a hefty return on his or her
money so it is a win too. The broker gets a nice bonus so he wins too.
Kendall Morrison was interviewed on ABC news about these investments. It
certainly wasn't a "win win " for him. "I was in so much pain. I had
something called neuropathy, where the sense of touch was replaced with a sense
of pain. I had literally to spend every cent I had on medication, on health
care." It was a devastating time until Kendall saw a magazine ad that
offered something too good to be true. It was a plan to buy out his $350,000
life insurance policy, the only asset he had. In Kendall's case he was only
able to get $175,000, half the face value. Now he had money to live on. The
people who bought this policy stood to collect $350,000 (they made the payments
Kendall could no longer afford) when he died, which was expected to happen in
two years. This strikes me as morbid and unethical. I tried to get some
confirmation of this from one of the leading Bioethicists Daniel Callahan,
founder of the Hastings Center. I spoke with him this morning and he said that
he had never heard of viatical settlements, and could not comment, but he could
comment on research. He said, "If research were to continue on people who
wanted to live very long lives, maybe until 150 then that would be social chaos
and I do not support that."
people who bought viatical settlements were cleaning up because AIDS used to be
a guaranteed death sentence. As one broker said, "people were dying to make a
killing." For Kendall's investors there was an unexpected surprise. Six
months after his payout, in the summer of 1996 something remarkable happened.
Researchers at an AIDS conference in Vancouver introduced a new class of drugs
called protease inhibitors. Nearly overnight the life expectancies for many AIDS
patients stretched far out into the future. Kendall said "this is the first
time where I really felt like someone wanted me dead."
January 31,2000 a Fort Lauderdale viatical company, billed as the nation's
largest, was under criminal investigation and also sued in civil court for more
than $600,000. This investment is completely unregulated, and so widespread
greed prevails. Eight men, in six Florida cities, were named in arrest warrants
issued in May 2000 for their part in fraudulent activity that Insurance
Commissioner Bill Nelson says ultimately targets the elderly who invest in life
insurance policies sold as viaticals.
another instance according to the Toledo Blade (August 7,2000) investors
nationwide face $75 million loss. Toledo's Liberte Capital Group LLC
specialized in viatical settlement contracts. Federal agents claim they
uncovered serious improprieties in the way the business was run. Hundreds of
life insurance policies will lapse next month unless the Toledo Company can come
up with monthly premium payments topping $350,000. The escrow account is empty
and the doors of the downtown Toledo firm are locked. The assets are frozen.
Investors are worried. Is this a way to live?
mainstream stirrings to the contrary, most people favor a one-payer system when
they understand what it is, and how easily it could be set in motion.
we were to have this scheme in place then aberrations such as viatical
settlements would disappear, along with the other private insurance companies
that profit by making life miserable for the rest of us. Do they have no shame?
I guess not. A one payer system could easily be financed by a small tax on gas,
eliminating the defense budget which stands as high as it did during the height
of the Cold War, and close scrutiny of all the so-called programs we have to
benefit the very rich in this country. I am not and Economist but my intuitive
common sense tells me that this is possible. It is a reality in every developed
and even underdeveloped country –just not here.
to Colleen Fuller for providing the inspirational idea for this article. In
1996 North American Viatical Investments set up shop trying to lure Canadian
investors. Luckily the "Depression-era legislation prohibited this type of
insurance scheme in Canada with the exception of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and Saskatchewan." Of course there is less need for them as
patients can get all their prescriptions via the Canada Health Act without
involving themselves in fraudulent, immoral, and maybe unethical business

ATHENS -- No, there has not been a Shawn Williams moment on the Georgia football defense. Unlike last year, when things got dire, no member of the defense has gone public to eviscerate the unit, and theres not much indication it has been done privately.
I dont think we have any guys playing soft, sophomore linebacker Jordan Jenkins said, using the term Williams did last year, igniting the defense to a fast finish. Were definitely fighting and trying to make plays. But were just not executing and committing all the way to it.
Indeed, execution, not emotion, remains the emphasis on Georgias beleaguered defense. And the tone remains upbeat, even from fiery coordinator Todd Grantham, who doesnt want to lash into a young unit.
These guys are trying and theyre close, Grantham said. The end results sometimes isnt what you want it. But if you go back and look
Then he listed the successes: First-down defense, as well as sacks coming because of coverage sacks.
The bottom line is, we didnt have any turnovers and we didnt get off the field on third down, Grantham said. Its really not anything magical. Its about understanding here are the issues, and heres what you gotta do to get them fixed.
The issues are pretty clear:
Georgia has given up at least 30 points in five of its six games, the exception being North Texas. Even if three special teams and one offensive touchdown is taken out, the Bulldogs are still giving up 29 points per game.
The defense has forced just four turnovers this season, after getting 62 takeaways during the past two years.
The pass defense ranks 12th in the SEC, and the third-down defense is 13th.
There might not be yelling and screaming, but inside linebacker Amarlo Herrera was blunt about the frustration level.
Its pretty bad, because we want to win, he said. And we play defense, so we dont like giving up points. Weve just gotta work on that.
Head coach Mark Richt was asked about the frustrations during his news conference Tuesday. He granted that no one was happy, but he said there was enough progress happening to make him feel it was moving in the right direction.
With a lot of pups, Richt added.
Five true freshmen have started on defense this year, and many non-freshmen are getting the first significant action of their college careers.
Richt also pointed out that end Garrison Smith is the only senior starter.
As far as how were progressing now and how the future looks, I think were exceptionally bright, Richt said. Were at Game 7 now, so weve played enough games to where some of these guys that were inexperienced when they got started arent anymore. They have a half of a season under their belt, so weve got to keep making plays.
So how to fix the issues, particularly in the secondary? Grantham said that the team had one of its best performances on first downs all season against Missouri. He credited the secondary partially for that.
On turnovers, Grantham expressed optimism they will come. He pointed to 2010, his first season at Georgia, when Justin Houston took until later in the season to turn his sacks into forced fumbles. Grantham said the same happened for Jarvis Jones.
Sometimes as a young player, just getting a guy down or making a tackle is kind of what youre doing, Grantham said. As you get some experience and some savvy, you know I can remember (Bacarri) Rambo dislodging a few guys from the ball.
Of course, the whole futures bright thing doesnt work for players like Smith. This is his final year, and while he has played well, hes on a unit that has struggled.
Its easy for some guys, if things arent going their way, to be like, We got three more years, its OK, just give up on this season. But at the end of the day, you cant have that type of mindset. Next years not promised. Lets be real, Smith said.
Smith emphasized it wasnt meant as a criticism of the young players. It just was worth noting to them.
Youve gotta keep that on the young dudes minds, Smith said. Because when youre young, you dont really think about that. You just think, Ive got plenty of time. You dont really know when your time is up.

BERLINER, Lawrence J.
Phone: 303-871-7476
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Berliner group uses unpaired electrons to probe dynamics and distances between selected sites on a protein that are sensitive to it's unique structure and function. This may be substituting a paramagnetic lanthanide for a calcium ion or by covalently adding novel aminoxyl radical probes called spin labels. The spectral analyses, including distance measurements between probes, provides insight on how a protein folds and important conformational changes associated with function. Additionally we use molecules called spin traps to characterize free radicals in-vivo. Some studies are important to health problems ranging from ischemia/heart disease to infection shock. We pioneered development of techniques and instrumentation for live animal applications which are now routine in unique laboratories around the world. We also utilize MRI in these in vivo applications. Current research involves a homologous family of calcium binding proteins that have tumor killing properties in molten globule form. These also form amyloid aggregates and fibrils, which may be excellent models for neurodegenerative disease proteins. The free radical project involves intermediates of a common blood pressure lowering drug that may lead to heart disease. The work includes protein expression and labeling, spectroscopic measurements by magnetic resonance, fluorescence, CD and subsequent data analysis.
COWEN, Bryan
Assistant Professor
Email: email@example.com
The Cowen group's research program focuses on the development of new synthetic methods for the preparation of small, functional organic compounds. Special emphasis centers on the discovery of unique asymmetric reactions to enable the selective construction of complex chiral molecular architectures. The design of small-molecule catalysts and ligands for both non-metal and metal-mediated transformations are key research activities ongoing in the laboratory. Additionally, the investigation of detailed mechanistic reaction pathways is of paramount importance to the maturation of any new synthetic method. A particular goal of our efforts in chemical synthesis is to produce valuable end products for potential pharmaceutical or material-based applications.
EATON, Gareth R.
Phone: 303-871-2980
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Eaton group develops new methods and instrumentation to measure electron spin relaxation and spectra to solve biomedical problems. One application uses unpaired electrons in biological molecules to probe dynamics and distances between locations on a protein. The unpaired electrons may be on native sites of a protein such as radicals or iron complexes or may be intentionally added as probes. The distance measurements are used to study how protein subunits combine into larger assemblies and how conformations change to accomplish reactions. We are developing continuous wave, pulsed, and rapid scan instrumentation and techniques for recording spectra of unpaired electrons at resonance frequencies between 250 MHz and 9 GHz. In collaboration with research groups at University of Chicago and University of Maryland we are developing methods for imaging local oxygen concentrations in vivo and methods for study of physiology of tumors. Our research team includes chemists, biochemists, physicists, and engineers. Our instrumentation includes state-of-the art Bruker and locally-constructed spectrometers.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The K-groups interests are in applied and theoretical organic photochemistry. We discover and study new photochemical reactions, pursuing a better understanding of the nature and reactivity of excited states. This knowledge is employed to develop practical applications ranging from expeditious synthesis of complex molecular scaffolds to designing new assays for high throughput bioanalytical applications and combinatorial screening, useful for the thriving field of chemical biology. We continue to develop innovative methodologies for detection and photochemical pre-amplification of molecular recognition events, both in solution and on a chip. These techniques are being applied to medicinal chemistry, helping identification of novel drug candidates and lead compounds. Organic photochemistry is an exciting and growing area, offering opportunities in many fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, and chemical biology!
MAJESTIC, Brian
Assistant Professor
Phone: 303-871-2986
Email: email@example.com
The research interests in the Majestic lab focus around atmospheric particulate matter (PM). We are presently interested in understanding transformations of transition metals in atmospheric systems. Currently, we are studying oxidation state and speciation changes of iron as it is processed in cloud water and upon interaction with "urban" gases, such as sulfur dioxide. In addition, we are interested in better quantifying human exposure of atmospheric metals. Therefore, we are involved in field studies in and around the Denver area, the American Southwest, and China. The work done in our lab has implications near and far: on how we understand the human health effects of atmospheric metals to providing insights into the global iron cycle. Our primary tools of measurement include inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and long pathlength UV-vis spectrophotometry.

The folding of proteins into correct three-dimensional structures and the control over their intermolecular interactions is of central importance to the proper functioning of cells. A complex machinery has evolved that assists in folding and ensures proper protein contacts. Malfunctioning of this machinery can lead to protein misfolding and result in fatal human diseases including Parkinson's disease and Type II diabetes. A characteristic feature of most misfolding diseases is the deposition of proteins into fibrillar inclusions and plaques. Research in our lab focuses on the misfolding of the microtubule associated protein tau. Tau fibrils are found in numerous neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer?s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy. The formation of fibrils is a multistep process starting from monomeric disordered tau. The conformational changes leading to oligomers and the progression into mature fibrils are only poorly understood. Our lab uses a broad range of biophysical approaches to obtain structural insights into the misfolding of tau. We are furthermore interested in elucidating the cellular mechanisms that control tau function and prevent fibril formation. A detailed molecular understanding of the tau structures involved, their conformational transitions, and cellular control appears to be an important prerequisite towards developing new drugs that intervenein the aggregation process.
MILLER, Keith E.
Associate Professor

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The research interests of the Miller group are very interdisciplinary in nature. They can be broadly defined in three major areas: 1) fundamental and applied research in separation sciences with applications focused in environmental contaminants, 2) research in water treatment technology focused in novel sorbent preparation and wet-oxidation for the removal of chemicals of concern from wastewaters (agricultural, industrial and municipal), and 3) development of analytical techniques for the analysis of food contaminants.

Email: email@example.com
I teach a variety of courses from freshman to graduate level while being the director of undergraduate laboratories. I also volunteer as the manager of the mass spectrometry facilities. My research interests are applied in nature, like to find solutions to immediate real life scientific problems. One of my current researches involves the development of superior chlorine resistant reverse osmosis membrane for water purification. "Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink", can apply as much to countries and societies without fresh water supply to military operations. Development of advanced membranes with chlorine resistance along with enhanced water flux and salt rejection requires more comprehensive understanding of the molecular level mechanisms of structure property relationships. This involves; synthesis of novel monomers and polymers, use of state-of the- art characterization techniques and field testing. Our systematic approach for this problem has guided us to the creation of a newer polyamide RO membrane with superior chlorine resistance and RO properties. A patent has been granted for this invention.
PEGAN, Scott
Assistant Professor

The Pegan laboratory's research goal is to gain a greater understanding of the mammalian innate immune response and how it is modulated, as well as develop new therapeutic templates for emerging diseases. Our on-going intent is to investigate the anti-viral type I response through the structural and kinetic study of proteases and ligases involved in the immune response signaling pathway. Through this research a better understanding of the role these proteins play in cellular regulation of the innate anti-viral immune response will occur. This insight will allow us to pioneer treatments for viral infection as well as autoimmune and cancer disorders. In addition, we also intend to seek new antibiotic templates for Tuberculosis using structure based drug design and high-throughput screening.
