Financial Aid Withdrawal Policies
Return of Title IV Funds Withdrawal Policies
Students who wish to completely withdraw from their courses must officially withdraw at the Registration Office by completing a Withdrawal Form and notify the financial aid office. If the student is unable to do this in person or by mail the student can contact the financial aid office by phone.
Students who completely withdraw at or before 60% of the term will be processed through a federally mandated
Return of Title IV Funds Calculation.
This calculation determines the percentage of financial aid the student has earned based on the number of days the student attended divided by the number of days in the enrollment period.
The student will be responsible to pay any unpaid institutional charges incurred by the institution having to return Title IV funds.
The student will also be responsible for returning a percentage of unearned financial aid. This amount will be the difference between the amount of Title IV aid due from the school and the amount of Title IV aid to be returned.
The school must return funds to the following sources, in order, up to the total net amount from each source: Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan, PLUS, Pell Grant, Federal ACG, Federal SEOG, and any other Title IV programs.
The student will return loan amounts in accordance with the terms of the promissory note.
If the student owes tuition and fees, the student will receive an invoice from the school.
The Financial Aid Office will notify the student of the amount of any Federal Grants that must be repaid by the student.
If there is a reduction in tuition, students receiving the PHEAA State Grant may be required to return a portion of what was received. You will be notified by financial aid if any amount of the state grant must be repaid.
Unofficial Withdrawals:
Financial aid is available to eligible students who enroll at the institution for a specific period and for a specific number of courses. Students who
stop attending
as reported by the faculty will have financial aid adjusted to reflect the student's
unofficial withdrawal
from classes.
Students who are reported by the faculty as stopped attending classes will have their financial aid adjusted if the student has stopped attending classes during the institution's refund period. The institution will retain the full tuition and fees of students who stop attending classes and may report these students as enrolled for state appropriations. This procedure parallels the manner in which the institution adjusts students who officially withdraw from classes.
Students who are reported by the faculty as stopped attending classes after the institution's refund period (unless the student has stopped attending all classes) will not have financial aid adjusted, but will be expected to make satisfactory academic progress according to the federal guidelines established for financial aid recipients. The institution will retain the full tuition and fees of students who stop attending classes and may report these students as enrolled for state appropriations. This procedure parallels the manner in which the institution adjusts students who officially withdraw from classes.

From the Bryan College Library Policy Manual:The BCL strives to offer equivalent library resources and services to all its academic constituents. In keeping with this policy, Bryan distance students may check out circulating physical items (print books, DVDs, etc.) by requesting that the items be sent to them by mail, much like interlibrary loan items. Eligibility is based on whether the constituent has reasonable access to these resources by coming to the library in person. The person must be a current student or faculty member, have no current classes which meet on the main campus and must be living at least 25 miles away from the Dayton campus.
The periods for different types of items are:
DVDs: 14 days
Books and all other items: 28 days
The Service
- The patron may call in or email a request to the library for any circulating item appearing in the BCL online catalog.
- If the item is available for checkout it will be mailed to the current address for the patron as it appears in the library system from the College administration system. Patrons must keep their address updated with the Registrar's office in order to use this service.
- The loan period begins on the day the item is mailed and items not received back by the end of the loan period will be considered overdue with all applicable fines and fees accruing.
- A total of 10 items may be borrowed by mail at a time including up to 2 DVDs.
- Items checked out by mail are not renewable.
- The library recommends return shipment by UPS.

Undergraduate Majors
Communication Studies
Bachelor of Science Degree
The ability to communicate effectively is one of the most important skills an individual can possess in this era of rapid informational and technological change.
Our Mission
Communication Studies is committed to preparing graduates to communicate effectively and excel at examining the role of messages in various types of human relationships, organizations, cultures, and social institutions. We are committed to promoting life-long learning by preparing graduates who have developed their ability to think critically; speak and write exceptionally; analyze and interpret messages thoughtfully; and creatively craft and present messages through a variety of mediums.
Our Program
The UCM Communication Studies degree program represents the most contemporary educational trend in preparing professionals in the rapidly changing field of communication across media, contexts, channels, and cultures. This major emphasizes providing students with nationally demanded communication-related skills, consistent with placement requirements for entry level positions in a variety of industries. The modern organization seeks the "knowledge worker" who is valued for their aptitude to move from entry level competencies to life-long relational competencies. Thus, the program is inclusive and complimentary to related areas such as digital media, sociology and public relations.
Our major is highly customizable, allowing students the opportunity to create a program that reflects the skills and content interests of the student. Our major prepares students for professional life in areas such as: communication manager, consultant, client relations, social media coordinator, non-profit management, mediator, recruiter, trainer, etc.; and is a perfect pre-professional degree for students seeking continued education in law; seminary; or graduate level communication programs.
In addition, understanding messages provides students with skills for life; to manage a variety of relational settings including: family, work, friends, and community.
The program includes communication courses that span the discipline, and includes a 15-hour emphasis in one of three areas:
- Consultancy students develop expertise in assessment, relationship building, and training for professional settings.
- Social Influence and Media focuses on the use of verbal and nonverbal persuasion in and among relational, group, presentation, and media contexts.
- Relational applies the practice of communication to individual, interpersonal, and intercultural contexts and uses the life cycle to integrate diverse applications of gender, race, and age differences.
The flexibility of our program offers students the time to take several elective courses. We highly encourage students to take courses which augment knowledge and skills related to the industry area students are looking to seek employment within.
From Student to Professional
Students are encouraged to take a part in unique co-curricular activities. Some opportunities offered for our students include:
Dale Carnegie Certification: Dale Carnegie, arguably UCM's most famous Alum, continues to enhance his legacy of common sense communication in the digital age. This Certificate provides the communication studies graduate with an efficient means to create career placement and advancement advantages and provides a desired set of communication competencies in a manageable timeframe.
Talking Mules: Our nationally competitive speech/debate team allows students to compete in a variety of debate and individual events. The team travels regionally, nationally, and even internationally. Each year select members of the team travel to Great Britain to compete for the Montgomery Cup.
Internships: Internship programs are maintained by faculty and provide students with professional experience in a diversity of industries, including: health care services, media outlets, political campaigns and for-profit and non-profit business organizations.
Study Abroad: The flexibility of our program encourages students to engage in the life enhancing experience of studying in a different culture. We have relationships with communication programs across the globe and our students have studied throughout Europe, Mexico and the Asia-Pacific region.
Student Organizations: Organizations open to students include: International Association of Business Communicators, the National Broadcasting Association, Public Relations Student Society of America, Society of Professional Journalists, Pi Kappa Delta and Nonprofit Leadership Alliance.
There are 20 full-time faculty members in the Department of Communication and Sociology with scholarly and/or work experience in their areas of specialization. Graduate assistants complement the programs as teachers and assistants.

Songs from Glee have stormed the pop music charts since the show debuted in May of 2009. While many only make a brief appearance in the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100, more than a dozen have been top 40 pop hits. This is your guide to the 10 biggest pop hits from the hit show Glee. The song's peak position on the Billboard Hot 100 is included.
10. "Singin' In the Rain / Umbrella" - November 2010 - #18
Glee demonstrates how to update the classic "Singin' In the Rain" by mashing it with Rihanna's #1 smash "Umbrella." This performance was featured on the episode The Substitute and features guest star Gwyneth Paltrow.
9. "Get It Right" - March 2011 - #16
"Get It Right" was one of two previously unrecorded songs from the episode Original Song to become major chart hits for the show. This one features Lea Michele in a solo. Glee took a significant risk veering from their all covers format to experiment with releasing original material. The experiment kicked off as a success.
8. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" - May 2010 - #16
The Glee episode titled Bad Reputation included a list of pop songs with bad reputations. The cast's version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" closed the episode. Bonnie Tyler's original version of the song went to #1 in 1983.
7. "Toxic" - October 2010 - #16
Glee took on Britney Spears songs in the episode Britney / Brittany. As glee club director Will Schuester relents and allows the group to perform a Britney Spears song, he joins them onstage for this version of "Toxic" at the homecoming assembly.
6. "We Are Young" - December 2011 - #12
New Directions reunited just in time for Christmas on the third season of Glee. For an appropriate song to use celebrating the reunion producers turned to the song "We Are Young" by alternative pop group fun. Glee's version helped pull the original by fun. on to the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time. fun.'s recording would go on to be a #1 smash hit single. The Glee episode was titled Hold On To Sixteen.
5. "Forget You" - November 2010 - #11
Glee demonstrated how successful current hit songs could be for the show. Here guest star Gwyneth Paltrow takes the lead on a "clean" version of Cee Lo Green's "F**k You!" This performance was featured in the episode titled The Substitute.
4. "Rumour Has It / Someone Like You" - November 2011 - "#11
It looked like Glee's chart impact was finally starting to languish in its third season. Then along came a mash-up of two songs from Adele's album 21, the bestselling album of the year. It reminded us all how powerful a Glee performance can be. The rival all-girl Glee club the Troubletones rides intense emotion to a stomping beat. The result barely missed the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
3. "Teenage Dream" - November 2010 - #8
The introduction of new character Blaine provided the occasion for an all-male a capella version of Katy Perry's hit single "Teenage Dream" on the episode titled Never Been Kissed. The arrangement is stunning. Backing vocals were recorded by the Tufts University a capella group Beelzebubs who finished second on the first season of the TV show The Sing-Off. The result was the biggest sales week yet for a Glee song.
2. "Loser Like Me" - March 2011 - #6
Glee's New Directions perform at the Regionals competition in the episode Original Song. The show does introduce original songs here, and the biggest is the big ensemble number "Loser Like Me." Fans responded positively and made this song one of the biggest hits of all time from the show.
1. "Don't Stop Believin'" - June 2009 - #4
This is the song that started it all. It is William McKinley High School's glee club named New Directions performing Journey's classic "Don't Stop Believin'" in the Glee pilot episode that convinces the group's coach Will Schuester to stay at the school and stick with the club. Journey's original version hit #9 in 1982.

So I need the expertise of those with tailgating experience.
This weekend is the great Duke Graduate School campout for basketball tickets, and we will be living out of a Uhaul for 3 days.
We are thinking of bringing a television and a PS3 to kill some time/start a Madden tournament. Problem is, I have no idea how to power them.
Does anyone with camping or tailgating experience have suggestions for a good (quiet) generator to use to power a tv and a game console? We would probably rent instead of buy.

"The bill became law."
Shouldn't there be "a" before "law", since it is talking about a specific law, not a large body of laws?
It can work either way.
No, Shirley - it's fine as it is.
See more examples here:
"We have (a) law for that."
Would "a" be necessary here?
But if I am talking about having a body of laws for certain things, do I still need "a" there?"We have (a) law for that."
Would "a" be necessary here?

You can see it almost everywhere you go. North Dakota's population is on the rise. The Census Bureau shows just how much the state has grown in the past year.
The newest report says 18,000 people moved to North Dakota in 2013. That's the highest percentage growth in the country, and it also ranks eighth in sheer numbers. "What's most dramatic about it is when we compare to where we were ten years ago. We had out migration, we had significant numbers of people leaving each year. It's been a dramatic turnaround. We've gone from fiftieth to first in terms of migration," says Kevin Iverson, N.D. Census Office.
Iverson says he expects the growth to continue this year.

GCC Developers Publish Bugfix Release
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) developers have now released version 4.2.3, which fixes a number of bugs.
The latest release appeared after three months of work by the developer team. Joseph Myers does not reveal the bugs the release fixes in his announcement – he simply refers generically to regressions. This said, the fixes seem to be fairly major, drawing conclusions from the 31MB footprint of the patch for the previous version. No new functions were added.
The GNU Compiler Collection includes compilers for the C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java and Ada programming languages. Both the patch and the complete GCC 4.2.3 archive are available for downloading from various mirror servers.

Hello friends!
Sorry to have been gone so long....the storm that hit Jersey really knocked us for a loop & we are just getting back to some semblence of normal. We were extremely lucky in the storm. Yes, we lost power & heat for a tiny bit over a week but, when I hear some of the stories about what other folks went through, I feel incredibly grateful. It does mess with your head though. Suddenly not having certain things that you take for granted. As much as I love my home, and I really do....the soul of our home seemed to be gone. Strange to say, because I think we are the soul of our home but, with no light or heat suddenly we didn't want to be there. It struck me as sad. We were so lucky to have Joel's brother in law just down the road, who had power. They kindly hosted us every night for dinner, and let us recharge our electronics. We got warm and the kids had fun and then we would head home for bed. We didn't want to leave our dogs in the cold house at night, for too long. Although, they didn't seem cold really, just stressed. It was weird, Joel and I noticed they wanted to eat much more than they normally do. Maybe because they were using up a lot of energy staying warm? However, they are back to normal now. I thought I would share a few photos of the past week or so with you. Because that is what we have been up to. I hope, whether you were in the storm or you weren't, that you are doing well.
~ The first casualty of the storm in our little area but, so many trees fell around the neighborhood and did much more damage than this one did.
~ Some bright spots in all of the gloom, watching movies with my girls, all snuggled under lots of covers in one big bed! ( we were lucky to have the electronics to play a movie)
~ Eventually, we pushed the couch up to within inches of the fireplace and all sat there for as long as we could stand it. Another bright spot was reading there & looking down the line to see our two girls reading their books too.
~ Normally that chair is by the fire & the couch is in that blank space but, Luna was unperturbed & trying to catch a little warmth & sunlight. :)
~ Another bright spot, my copy of Holly's book arriving and devouring it in front of the fire. It was a little portable bit of hope.
~ And yet another ray of sunshine, our president winning & Joel's drawing of it for our eldest gal's lunch that day. YAY!
~ Light, light, light! What a welcome sight. And a new little lamp for our guest room/study. It is coming along....
~ I think Maddie sums up how we all feel right about now....happy, grateful & content. (Didn't Joel get an amazing capture of her? Especially as she is very camera shy)
Here is my hope, that all those who truly are suffering from the storm, have power, heat, peace and help very, very soon.
I will see you back here on monday, my friends! Until then, be well.

The Deer Park boys basketball team, using a 8-3 run to close out the game, defeated the Chewelah Cougars 63-56 on Thursday in the season opener for both schools.
The Cougars, who trailed by as many as 18 points in the first half, trimmed the Deer Park lead to 55-53 on a basket by Brandon Smith with 2 minutes to play. The Stags responded with free throws by Reese Ferguson and Uconn Peone sandwich between a jumper by Zach Mohr to extend the margin to 60-53 with less than a minute to play.
Ben Johnstone's three-pointer gave the Cougars a little hope, which was quickly extinguished by a free throw and basket by Peone to close out the game.
"I'm pleased how they came together in adversity," said Deer Park head coach Kevin Ryan on his team's ability to weather the Cougars' late game rally.
At the game's outset it did not look like the Stags would need any late-game heroics to win their opener. The Cougars, who trailed 19-1, did not get their first basket, a short jumper by Tyler Monasmith, with 1:19 left in the first quarter.
The Stags, however, ran into trouble when starting center Blake Starbuck picked up his third foul midway through the second quarter. The Cougars used the situation to exert control under the basket to trim the Stag lead to 27-24 by halftime.
Chewelah actually took a 36-33 lead on a three-pointer by Caleb Wiebe midway through the third quarter, only to have Deer Park respond with a 12-0 run over the next four minutes.
"We can go on those spurts," Ryan said.
Peone led the Stags with 21 points while Ferguson, seeing extended minutes because of Starbuck's foul trouble, chipped in a career high 15 points. Monasmith took led the Cougars with 19 points.

It's been a long offseason. There has been wheeling. There has been dealing. The Blue Jays are better. The Marlins are worse. The Diamondbacks are kind of odd.
But there are teams that left a curious spot untouched on their roster. Not all of these teams are rich, but most of them are. Not all of these teams fancy themselves World Series contenders, but most of them do. Yet they're heading into the season with a big ol' gaping hole. Here are the top five big ol' gaping holes that should have been filled, which is a subject that should do well with Google search results, but probably not the kind we're looking for at Baseball Nation.
5. Blue Jays - 1B/DH
Edwin Encarnacion will take one of the spots, probably first base, which is just dandy. And it's silly to get too nitpicky about the Blue Jays' offseason, one in which they decided to spend money like the major-market team they really are. Considering the 2012 Blue Jays had one of the weirdest, horrific, and injury-filled pitching seasons in baseball, they've done a magnificent job of building a strong, strong rotation, and they've pulled together an interesting lineup, too.
But every time I look at their projected lineup, Adam Lind's name pops out. He'll hit around seventh in the lineup, so it's not like the Jays are counting on him, but that's the point. If the Jays had a DH of note, maybe Colby Rasmus wouldn't have to hit fifth. While the Jays owe Lind $5 million this year, he hasn't been good for three years. Worse than that -- he's been actively bad, being worth about -2 wins combined since his breakout season of 2009.
The Jays are still a contender. But it's like they bought a new, 52-inch TV and a new surround-sound system, but they held on to the TurboGrafx-16, hoping they could find their copy of Bonk's Adventure that they misplaced somewhere. They know it's here somewhere. They'll find it aaaaaany day now.
4. Mets - Like, one outfielder
I go back and forth on this because the Mets probably should be in throw-players-against-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks mode. And you can make arguments that all of the Mets' outfield options should be given a chance. A year after a semi-breakout in Triple-A, Kirk Nieuwenhuis didn't embarrass himself in the majors. Mike Baxter somehow managed a .365 on-base percentage last year, well above his minor-league career mark. Lucas Duda is probably a better hitter than he showed last year.
As a collective, though, it's a mess. It's almost a little too see-what-sticks, especially considering that Duda is an outfielder like David Wright is a shortstop. This can all change if the Mets get Michael Bourn on the cheap, but for now it's pretty easy to pick on the Mets and their outfield filled with drifters, hobos, and ne'er-do-wells.
3. Brewers - Starting pitcher
I use MLB Depth Charts pretty regularly in the offseason, especially when writing articles like this. And when you get to the Brewers' depth chart, you see this in their projected rotation:
That is ... less than encouraging. The best-case scenario is for Chris Narveson to come back and be the best durned Chris Narveson he can be, which is a pitcher with the upside of a Chris Narveson. Which isn't bad. But if that's the best-case scenario -- especially for a team that can hit a little -- there are probably other scenarios to explore.
But like with Bourn and the Mets, there's an out. Kyle Lohse is still floating around, ticked off that draft-pick compensation exists. The Brewers would lose the #17 overall pick -- to a division rival, no less -- if they signed Lohse. That's a steep price.
Consider, though, that in the 47-year history of the amateur draft, only a dozen No. 17 picks produced more wins above replacement in their careers than Lohse did in 2012. You might think it's a gamble to give away the pick for Lohse. Considering that the Brewers' lineup projects to be average-to-good, but certainly short of overwhelming, it might be a bigger risk to not give up a pick for Lohse if the price is right. There's no better fit in baseball for Lohse.
2. Dodgers - 3B
"Hey," you're yelling at the screen, "what about Luis Cruz, you awful person?" And that's a fair question. Over 283 at-bats last year, Cruz hit .297/.322/.431 and played a nifty third base. His batting average on balls in play was on the high side (.320), but not ludicrously so. He's the only Mexican-born position player with a regular job in the majors and he plays in an area with an enormous Mexican community and he already has the "Cruuuuuuuuuuz" chant going at home. He's become a popular player in a short time with the Dodgers.
But here's a link to the 29-year-old's minor-league stats. If you think Cruz can do anything close to that again, you're taking a 283-at-bat sample over a sample of 4,573 minor-league at-bats. You might be right, but the odds are heavily against you. And the Dodgers are paying a lot of money all over the roster so they don't have to deal with those stupid odds.
1. Yankees - C
Of all the holes, all the big ol' gaping lineup holes left untouched this offseason, this is by far the weirdest. Because we're talking about the Yankees here. The Yankees. The team that once spent a billion dollars on Jaret Wright because they needed a pitcher, and, well, Wright was about all that was available other than Carl Pavano, whom they also purchased for a the price of a space shuttle.
This Yankees team is cool with Chris Stewart at catcher. Maybe Francisco Cervelli if they want to get crazy. A.J. Pierzynski was out there on a one-year deal, and his lefty swing would seem to be a good fit for Yankee Stadium. Nope, not interested. Mike Napoli isn't exactly a Gold Glover, but he could have given the Yanks some offense from behind the plate. Yorvit Torrealba was out there on a minor-league deal. David Ross has been quietly fantastic in a part-time role, and he was available. They could have traded for Nick Hundley, John Jaso, or George Kottaras.
Nope. Chris Stewart. Who seems very nice! And he has a lightning-quick release when he's trying to catch runners stealing. But he's almost like a DH neutralizer, acting as a quasi-pitcher in the ninth spot of the lineup. The old Yankees would have figured something out, probably involving wheelbarrows filled with cash. This Yankees team is cool with Chris Stewart, or maybe Francisco Cervelli. Oh.

Advocates from across Connecticut gathered in Hartford Wednesday to lobby for an increase in the state's cigarette tax.
Representatives from the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association released the results of a statewide poll showing support for a higher cigarette tax.
The results, according to the poll, said 70 percent of voters support raising the tax, which is currently $3.40 a pack.
The group wants to see a 95-cent increase in the current cigarette tax as part of the budget, which they said would generate $50 million in revenue for the state.
Paul Collins, of East Hartford, told Eyewitness News when he stops smoking, he said it will be because of his health, not the cost of cigarettes.
The American Lung Association said the smoking-related healthcare costs in Connecticut alone are more than $1.5 billion a year.
Anti-smoking groups said they feel we need to be doing a lot more to stop children from smoking and they support more taxes.
However, they say if you don't raise the price enough, it won't be a deterrent for smokers to quit.
"We are not going to get everyone to quit, but when you look at all the costs related to smoking, it's the single most preventable cost," said Kevin O'Flaherty of campaign for Tobacco-free Kids. "We should do everything we can to reduce."
Some people in Connecticut are not worried about the tax increase.
"People are still going to buy cigarettes," said Gina Khalifi, who owns a smoke shop in East Hartford.

Organically grown foods are becoming more popular as people worry more about the health and the safety of the food they eat. What is organic food? Where can you buy organic products?
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), organic foods are described this way:
Organic meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge, bioengineering or ionizing radiation.
Organic food advocates claim that organically grown foods are safer and more nutritious than foods raised with non-organic methods such as pesticide and non-organic fertilizer use, or antibiotic and hormone use.
Many people just don't trust these chemicals and don't want to put them into their bodies. Since virtually all non-organically produced foods contain residues of pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals, the only way to avoid them is to buy organic foods.
To be certified as organic, food products need to come from farms and processing plants that are certified as organic. This means that they are inspected by certified government officials to ensure that organic farms are up to USDA organic standards.
The inspectors make sure that only organic methods are used and that the environment is not contaminated with pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or other non-organic compounds.
Organic Labeling
Foods that are organically grown can state that fact on the label. This makes shopping easier for those of us who want to buy organic foods. It is important to understand exactly what organic labels mean.
"100-Percent Organic"
Foods that are labeled as 100-Percent Organic must contain all organically grown ingredients except for added water and salt.
Foods that are labeled as Organic need to contain at least 95 percent organic ingredients, except for added water and salt, plus they must not contain sulfites added as a preservative. Sulfites have been known to provoke allergies and asthma in some people. Up to five percent of the ingredients may non-organically produced.
"Made with Organic Ingredients"
Product labels that claim Made with Organic Ingredients need to contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients, except for added water and salt. They must not contain added sulfites, and up to 30 percent of the ingredients may be non-organically produced.
Food products made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients may state which ingredients are organic, but they can not claim to be organic food products.
Although studies show that the minimal amounts of residues of chemical pesticides found on non-organically grown foods are not dangerous to your health, many people just don't believe it. Studies show that children who maintain conventional diets have more pesticides in their bodies than those who eat organic foods.
Some experts believe that these pesticides may possibly lead to problems impeding with normal neurological development. Many organic food advocates also wish to avoid the antibiotics and growth hormones that are used on conventionally grown farm animals. These substances pass from the dairy products and meat we eat into our bodies. This use of antibiotics may be one of the causes of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
Organic food advocates also claim that organic foods are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods. There isn't much evidence to show that organic foods contain any more nutrients than non-organic foods; however some organic produce contain more vitamin C and higher quality protein content. There is also evidence that animals grown with organic feeds tend to be healthier than animals fed conventional feeds.
Organic farming is not only better for the animals, it is better for the environment. Organic farms are much more compatible with wildlife and land conservation programs.
Organic foods are more expensive to grow than conventionally grown foods and that cost shows up in the higher prices in the grocery store. The choice to add organic foods to your diet may cost a bit more money, but for that price, you are buying the reassurance that you're making healthy decisions for our own health and your family's health.

Stop Dirty Fuels:
Tar Sands
Stop Dirty Fuels : Tar Sands : Liquid Coal : Oil Shale
In Canada, the oil industry is transforming one of the world's last remaining intact ecosystems into America's gas tank.
Alberta's boreal forest and wetlands are home to a diverse range of animals, including lynx, caribou and grizzly bears, and serve as critical breeding grounds for many North American songbirds and waterfowl. Oil companies are scraping up hundreds of thousands of acres of this wildlife haven to mine tar sands -- silty deposits that contain small amounts of crude bitumen.
Extracting tar sands, and turning bitumen into crude oil, uses vast amounts of energy and water, and causes significant air and water pollution, and three times the global warming pollution of conventional crude production. The rush to strip-mine and drill tar sands in the boreal will destroy and fragment millions of acres of this wild forest for low-grade petroleum fuel.
Keystone XL
TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline would be the third new dedicated tar sands pipeline, and would lock the United States into a dependence on hard-to-extract oil and generate a massive expansion of the destructive tar sands oil operations in Canada in coming decades.
Tar sands developments are already wreaking havoc on both people and wildlife in the region. For aboriginal peoples, the mining reduces local water supplies and increases exposure to toxic substances. Expanding tar sands operations also heightens the risk for NRDC's Peace-Athabasca Delta BioGem -- just downstream from these developments.
In addition to the extraction impacts, the proposed pipeline would stretch 2000 miles from Alberta, Canada to Texas, threatening to contaminate freshwater supplies in America's agricultural heartland and increase refinery emissions in already-polluted communities of the U.S. Gulf Coast.
At a time when we must embrace a clean energy future, tar sands take us far in the wrong direction. The United States should instead implement a comprehensive oil savings plan and reduce oil consumption by increasing fuel efficiency standards, hybrid cars, renewable energy, environmentally sustainable biofuels, and smart growth to meet our transportation needs.

Despite drawing two walks to leadoff the inning, the Dodgers again failed to get a hit and have now been no-hit through eight innings against the Mariners.
Stephen Pryor started the eighth inning for the Mariners and promptly walked Bobby Abreu and Jerry Hairston Jr. Lucas Luetge replaced Pryor and recorded one out when James Loney sacrificed the runners ahead. The Mariners then turned to Brandon League, who got A.J. Ellis to flyout to left before he struck out Tony Gwynn Jr. to end the inning.
The Mariners hold a slim 1-0 lead heading into the bottom the eighth inning. Seattle will likely turn to Tom Wilhelmsen to finish off the no-hitter in the ninth. The Dodgers will have the top of the order due up with Dee Gordon leading off, followed by Elian Herrera and Andre Ethier.

Girl Scout promotes bike safety, earns Gold Award
CYPRESS, Texas (March 23, 2010) – Girl Scout Senior Nathalie K. promoted bike safety through pamphlets and a workshop to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned how every little thing you do can make a difference," says Nathalie, a senior at Cypress Woods High School.
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"As a competitive cyclist, I have lost many friends to accidents with cars," explains Nathalie as to why she chose the project. "I hoped to do whatever I could to help other riders, especially kids."
The first part of Nathalie's project consisted of creating a bike safety pamphlet, which she distributing in her community via schools, bike shops and individuals. She also held a one-day bike safety workshop at a local park where she helped the kids learn to ride their bikes and advance their skills on the road and trails. Finally, Nathalie met with groups of children who could not attend the workshop and taught them biking skills individually. In all, she helped 30 kids.
"Nathalie learned to plan well but to be flexible, especially when working with children," says Nathalie's mother. "I'm proud of how she continues to give her time to help any child who needs help learning to ride a bike safely."
At Cypress Woods, Nathalie is a member of track, orchestra and theater. She has also received numerous cycling awards, including being named a two-time Mountain Bike State Champion and 2008 Mountain Bike National Champion. Following graduation, she plans to attend college to study exercise science.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

Petition is launched to stop day Hailsham centre closure
4:00am Friday 7th February 2014 in News
A petition has been launched to try to stop a day centre for people with dementia from closing.
East Sussex County Council has already approved plans to shut the Orion Centre in Hailsham and provide services elsewhere.
The news has left carers and others using the centre angry and upset.
- Four arrested over letter bomb sent to Brighton's army careers office
- Seven months of misery - Brighton seafront roadworks delayed again
- Council warns eateries which served 'fake cod'
- Drinkers locked out of pub besiege staff and customers
- Workman who died after pier fall named
Linda Stevens, from Polegate, is a regular user of the centre as her husband John, who has vascular dementia, needs a lot of support.
She said: "It has been a real life-saver for us. Not only does it provide a safe place for John, it gives me a chance to have respite as well.
"The petition is calling for the decision to be overturned and the centre kept open."
An East Sussex County Council spokesman said: "The centre will not close until alternative provision from the voluntary or community sector is available to all its current users and a formal consultation with staff, which is due to begin shortly, is complete.
"We appreciate this is a difficult time for staff and for the people who use the centre, but if there's anything we can do to make the transition process easier for users, we will of course consider this.
"We did explore all options for the future of the Orion Centre, and the conclusion we reached was that closure was the only feasible option.
"We face cuts of £27 million from our adult social care budget over the next three years and we have no choice but to make changes to ensure we have a system that is sustainable for the future."

Speed, limiting risk and protein quality are often cited as advantages of transient protein production (TPP). Transient expression achieves both fast process times and high yields because the gene of interest is simply transfected via a plasmid into the respective producer cells. In addition, compared to expression in lower-order organisms, recombinant protein expression in mammalian producer cells (CHO and HEK293) or alternative hosts offers significant advantages in protein quality and posttranslational modification. However, the rapidly increasing need for recombinant proteins necessitates further improvements in TPP technologies.
Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Second Annual Transient Protein Production conference convenes protein expression specialists who share their experiences of the differences, tradeoffs, advantages and improvements in producing recombinant proteins in transient production systems.

Quentin feeling better but can't do baseball activities. Said he's going on the DL—
Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) August 26, 2011
Viciedo up Saturday. Could play some first base—
Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) August 27, 2011
Ozzie Guillen was about to make official the news of Dayan Viciedo's promotion from Triple-A Charlotte to the White Sox during his pregame media session Friday at Safeco Field, but he first paused for dramatic effect.
Then, with a smile plastered on his face, the White Sox manager tossed out the following line:
"Now he's coming in town," said Guillen, raising his arms triumphantly in the air. "We're in the pennant race."
Viciedo will replace Carlos Quentin on the active roster, with the White Sox right fielder telling the media before the game that he was going to the 15-day disabled list retroactive to this past Sunday.
wrong tense. It's not 'we're.' It's 'we were.'

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The top official at the Loyal Order of Moose and Moose International fraternal organizations has resigned, a week after a lawsuit alleged he molested a boy more than 30 years ago in Ohio and Louisiana.
Kurt Wehrmeister, spokesman for Aurora, Ill.-based Moose International and the Loyal Order of the Moose, says chief executive officer and director general William Airey (EHR'-ee) announced his decision to the Moose board Thursday.
A lawsuit in Franklin County court in Columbus by North Carolina physician Jason Peck alleges the abuse began in Ohio and continued elsewhere, including New Orleans.
The Associated Press generally doesn't identify people who claim to be victims of sexual abuse, but Peck has agreed to go public with his allegations.
A message was left Friday for Airey at his home.

He's spent decades helping others and never regretted a day. Now, surrounded by an entire community of boosters, this SkillsUSA advisor couldn't ask for more.
"I guess as you get older, you do things the best you can do and you call that 'good,'" Darryl Jirinec says in his typical self-effacing way. But the word hardly describes his distinguished career as an instructor in heavy equipment repair and operation. And it takes a lot more than "good" to earn SkillsUSA's Advisor of the Year award, as he did at the 2006 national conference.
Fresh out of college in 1963, Jirinec honed his engineering and diesel technology skills in the U.S. Army Reserve (from which he retired in 1997 with multiple honors). There, the seeds were planted for his future career. "In the Army, people always called me 'teacher' or 'teach,'" he says. "That's because I always thought that education was the prime target."
In 1973, Jirinec embraced this calling as he began teaching at Cayuga-Onondaga Area Occupational Center in Auburn, N.Y. Three years later, he joined SkillsUSA and took his first student to the national competition.
Seeing what the program accomplished touched Jirinec deeply. "That was my epiphany moment," he says. "I've devoted my life to SkillsUSA since then, and I've never regretted a day, because I know that when I go into work, there's going to be a kid there that's going to be smiling because we've done something for them."
Today, a lot of those kids are now adults adults who are more than happy to do something for Jirinec.
"They come out of the woodwork," he says, a mixture of pride and surprise in his voice. "They're all over the place. I can go to businesses now, and usually it's a student who took my course back in the '70s who owns the business or is the foreman, so I can walk in on a first name basis and say, 'OK, I need this,' and it's, 'You got it.'?"
One of the myriad reasons for Jirinec's success over the years is his ability to create a sense of involvement with everyone who has the potential to affect his program. For example, he pioneered the creation of a parents group dubbed "Friends of SkillsUSA" that supports his students and their activities.
"It's like a PTA group," the advisor explains. "I report to them about what the kids are doing, and it lets the parents have a lot of input in the chapter. They're really into it."
Jirinec also stresses the importance of administrative buy-in for a successful SkillsUSA chapter. "Our superintendent likes answers," he says, "so I invited him to the state competition to see what was going on. You could just see him going, 'Oh, man, this is really something.' When he went back, he took that excitement back to the principal, the district superintendent, etc."
Jirinec points out, however, that SkillsUSA is "all about the students. I think it's probably one of the greatest things that could happen to a student, I really do. We try to get everyone involved."
Much of that student involvement comes through the many community service projects Jirinec's chapter participates in each year, from adopting needy families during the holidays to restoring local woodland areas.
"The community is well aware of what we do," he says. "It lets them know we're not just another club. We're out there for the people, too."
Asking Jirinec's peers to describe him yields comments like "difference maker" ... "excellent role model"..."admired by his peers" and "superb." Notice the complete absence of the word "good" the word truly doesn't measure up.
The superlatives will no doubt only multiply as Jirinec begins his fourth decade as an advisor. From managing state contests to serving on national committees in Diesel Equipment Technology, from mentoring new teachers to leading graduating students to national competition, Jirinec's devotion to SkillsUSA and his students is as strong as ever.
