DOGSTREAT minis are a 100% natural kibble-sized treat perfect for small dogs and ideal to use for repetitive rewards during training. Irresistibly yummy, DOGSTREAT minis have a super soft, moist consistency that's easy for small mouths and older dogs to chew. Give your dog a DOGSTREAT as special reward or simply because you want to help feed a dog. When you buy one, we give one to a dog in need!
The Ideal Training Treat
Rewarding your dog with treats is an effective way to train your dog and recommended by top dog trainers. DOGSTREAT minis are small enough to fit comfortably in your hand for easy rewarding, but the flavor delivers big results! Your dog will sit, stay and beg for more DOGSTREAT minis. No bigger than a single piece of kibble, DOGSTREATS don't include wheat, corn, artificial colors, artificial flavors or by products.
Works a treat for Small Dogs
Dogs with small mouths often struggle to enjoy larger treats. DOGSTREATS minis were developed with small breeds in mind. Even the smallest toy poodle can easily eat these treats. And because they are soft and moist, they are easy to chew and digest
Easy to Chew and Low in Calories and so Older & Overweight Dogs Can Enjoy
Some older dogs have missing teeth which makes eating large and/or hard treats more difficult. DOGSTREAT minis are small, moist and easy to digest so senior dogs can consume them. And because they are low in calories, less mobile or overweight dogs can still enjoy a tasty treat.

border Collie and cats like but not the picky Russsel/wawa so over all they are good and I believe would work well for training.

Unitarian Church hosts screening of "Inequality For All," a film on the shrinking middle class and its affect on the U.S. economy and democracy
Mequon – Unitarian Church North will host a screening of the award-winning documentary film "Inequality for All" on Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m. The event, sponsored by the church's Social Justice Committee, is free and open to the public. The church is located at 13800 N. Port Washington Road, Mequon. An informal discussion will follow the 85-minute film. The film examines income inequality in the U.S. and the way it has shaped the nation's economy and democracy.
"Inequality For All" is a passionate argument on behalf of the middle class, featuring Robert Reich – professor, best-selling author, and Clinton cabinet member - as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. Through his singular perspective, Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself. Reich uses humor and a wide array of facts to explain how the issue of economic inequality affects each and every one of us. The film premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and was picked up for distribution by The Weinstein Company – RADiUS.
For more information about "Inequality For All" and to view the trailer,

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Starting Monday there is a busy intersection you might want to avoid; 19th and Texas Avenue.
East and west traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction as crews make repairs to a section of storm sewer pipe. Construction is expected to last approximately one week.
TxDOT will resume work on Spur-327 Monday. The $24 million project upgraded Spur 327 to a freeway. Now, crews have to do some work on the frontage roads. Drivers can expect several lane closers, and one overnight closure of the Frankford intersection. Weather permitting, this phase is set to be finished by Memorial Day.

Michael Wolff and Mike Clark to Release 'Wolff & Clark Expedition' Debut CD
When two of the best musicians on the planet decide to combine their estimable talents to create a band without boundaries, the result is the WOLFF & CLARK EXPEDITION. Dizzy Gillespie famously said that jazz must have "one foot in the past and one in the future." With the Wolff & Clark Expedition, the music embraces the past, ventures into the future, but remains rooted in the improvisatory present. After several high profile performances in 2012, jazz legends Michael Wolff and Mike Clark, the Wolff & Clark Expedition, are preparing to release their self-titled debut album in February 2013. Performing with creative bassist Chip Jackson, the Expedition's initial outing aims for uncharted, compelling musical territories while still entertaining a wide audience of astute listeners.
From The Beatles to Zawinul, Wolff & Clark navigate a disparate set of beguiling material. They commune with "Come Together," determine "What Is This Thing Called Love," before showing no "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy." Wolff's beautiful composition in 7/4, "ARP," precedes a burning "Flat Out," rout. By the time Horace Silver's "Song For My Father" is proffered, listeners will realize this is not their fathers' jazz trio. This is something very new, quite different...This is exciting, sublime but accessible music.
The sizzling "Is There A Jackson...?" leads to Wolff's soulful intro to Brother Nat's "Hummin'." After church, the trio tears up Gamble and Huff's "For The Love Of Money" before winding down with the gorgeous ballad "Elise," Michael's homage to his late Mom.
Expedition: A journey undertaken by a group of people with a definite objective; or the group undertaking such a journey. So it is with the fearless, tuneful negotiations of the Wolff and Clark Expedition. Although the name may recall other explorers from another era, Wolff and Clark are thoroughly modern: They blaze musical trails, fresh and fertile, with sounds not previously heard.
Says Wolff & Clark, "We have been playing together for many years - We share the same vision, energy and excitement for jazz music, for improvisation. The musical goal of The Expedition is to utilize well-known tunes in addition to intriguing originals and to deconstruct them, then reconstruct them as vehicles for self-expression. We believe it is time to bring modern sensibilities and styles of playing (and writing) to music that comes from the Blues and the roots of Jazz to create fresh rhythmic and harmonic/melodic adventures."
Performing together since the 1970's, both Wolff and Clark have each had stellar music careers. Michael Wolff is an internationally acclaimed pianist, composer and bandleader, and is best known for his melodically fresh and rhythmically compelling piano style. Wolff made his recording debut in 1972 with Cal Tjader, and went on to record with Cannonball Adderley, Nancy Wilson, Sonny Rollins, Tony Williams, Christian McBride and many others. As pianist and music director for jazz singer Nancy Wilson, Michael wrote orchestral arrangements and conducted more than twenty-five major symphony orchestras worldwide. From 1989 to 1994, Michael served as the bandleader for the Aresenio Hall Show, which heightened his visibility and gave him the opportunity to perform with many established artists such as Ray Charles, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and saxophonist/President Bill Clinton. Michael Wolff has released twelve critically acclaimed solo albums as a leader, 'Joe's Strut' being the most recent. He was a recipient of the BMI Music Award for television composition and was also the winner of the Gold Disk Award in Japan for piano. On Feb 23, 2012 Michael performed a solo piano concert at the University of Toledo, in Toledo, Ohio, as part of their Art Tatum solo piano concert.

Here in Thailand, I've yet to hear of expats leaving because of the
coup: we've had a lot of coups here, too. But curiously, tourism dropped off dramatically. I speak from personal observation here. I figure hotels in Chiang Mai, where Vicki and I stay, should be more than half full in early June (shoulder season). Yet, in my survey, occupancy rates came out closer to 10% or 20%.
In June, Vicki and I played tourist here in Thailand. We took a week-long road trip with friends to Doi Ang Khang (a national park), went to Mae Sai (a border town snuggled up to the Myanmar border) and to Phayao (a popular lakeside town). We mostly shared the scenic sites with a handful of Thai tourists. We noted the almost complete absence of foreign tourists.
I can think of a few reasons for the decline in tourism. The western world remains mired in no-or-slow growth with young tourists having less money to spend. Until recently, Bangkok and other nightlife venues were under curfew, discouraging those who come to party. The Chinese came in large numbers after a Chinese movie called Lost in Thailand became a hit a few years ago. The movie was filmed in Chiang Mai, giving Chinese a special reason to come to town. I figure the movie tourism may have run its course.
Perhaps the major blow to tourism was the coup and street violence that preceded it. Beginning late last year, those thinking of coming to Thailand saw riots on TV. Middle-aged tourists crossed Thailand off their list as they planned ahead for their summer holidays. And I suspect Chinese, in particular, stayed away because of the coup. Young Chinese have only ever known a stable home government. They may never have heard of coups, much less understand them. Ditto the Japanese.
In spite of apparent misgivings abroad, the coup here has had little impact on the tourist experience, in my opinion, for Chinese or Japanese or anyone else. Street life has pretty much returned to normal, and more tourists are showing up. Meanwhile, those of us who spend time here enjoy less crowded restaurants, better prices, lower airfares, a slower pace, and special deals.

ABC To Air Astronaut
Drama DEFYING GRAVITY!!
I am – Hercules!!
ABC will air "Defying Gravity," a 13-episode international co-production about spacebound astronauts.
The series was created by James Parriott, who also created "Misfits of Science" and "Forever Knight" but has more recently been toiling in such estrogen-soaked ABC hourlongs as "Grey's Anatomy" and "Ugly Betty."
The series stars Ron Livingston ("Office Space"), Laura Harris ("Dead Like Me"), Christina Cox ("The Chronicles of Riddick," "Blood Ties"), Malik Yoba ("New York Undercover") and Florentine Lahme (ABC's terrible astronaut miniseries "Impact").
The Hollywood Reporter describes:
… is set in the near future and revolves around eight astronauts from five countries who undertake a mysterious six-year mission through the solar system.
The series will also air on Britain's BBC, Canada's CTV, and Germany's ProSieben.

Will it have the same tired space plot lines?
by Norm
It'll be 8 carefully chosen astronauts, the cream of the crop. Yet I predict one will be claustrophobic, one will freak out from the isolation, etc, etc. Basically, these professional astronauts will be shown to less reliable under pressure than any Lost character, who are supposedly random average people. That seems to be the only way space shows get written. And I'm betting it'll be small in scale. Will there be moon and mars bases? Exploration missions out to Jupiter and Saturn? Asteroid bases to visit and explore? No, I'm sure it'll just be one ship instead of building a working universe to storytell in. I would love to see a fully fleshed out space-faring culture that is colonizing the solar system used as a backdrop.

is the obvious reason for sending out a secret UN-style space mission.
 They may be able to pull this off, but the genre largely appeals to men and Gray's Anatomy largely appeals to women. IOW, nobody wants to see Spock speechify endlessly about his feelings, we want to see him kick Kirk's ass big-time before he gets control of himself.
 Their real problem is going to be how to replace cast members who act up when the story has them so far from anywhere more humans could board.
 I'm not saying it won't work; I'm just wondering how carefully they're considering their audience. This could kill in England (where they eat up all the cheese Dr. Who can possibly mold), but IMHO, if it ain't an action show they won't pull in the males.

Water Pipe Whistler Science Experiment
In this really cool science experiment we will make a water pipe that whistles using only a plastic straw, scissors and a glass of water. In the process we will learn about pitch, sound, and vibrations.

It's days like this, with games like this. Big games, against big-time opponents with all the marbles on the line. We love college football. We love the fact that every game counts, but anything can be forgiven (I'm looking at you, LSU 2007, Florida 2008, and Bama 2011). We love the characters, the goofy and the superserious, the history, pride, flavors, and colors of the rivalries. Breathe it in. Savor it. Exhale. Mmmm.... Get you some more.
It's now, and we love it, and this is as good as it gets. We've been on the good side of a lot of good games, and had some good fortune when it counted, and stepped up when we had to. It might not be this year, and it might not be next year, but this run will end and we'll be down again. But right now we're smack in the middle of the best run of college football the game has ever seen, led by one of the all-time greats. And today, he leads us against one of the few opponents worthy of the appellation. Breathe it in. Savor it.

Your daily serving of food and farm policy.
The Environmental Working Group released two eye-opening investigations today as the Senate farm bill teeters between passage and failure. The first is an exhaustive analysis of the crop insurance lobby and reveals why subsidizing crop insurance has been in such favor with Congress:
NEW on the Environmental Working Group's highly-regarded farm subsidy database (more than 350 million searches since 2004): crop insurance data.
Editorial boards across the country continue deriding the lack of meaningful reform in the Senate farm bill. The Washington Post weighed in today in an editorial called, "Fertile ground for change." Some excerpts: "The bill's savings would have been almost twice as great if it did not offset the elimination of direct payments with a new, subsidized crop insurance program on top of the generous one from which farmers already benefit."
The New York Times' Ron Nixon reports that the Obama administration wants to see deeper cuts to crop insurance as the farm bill debate goes forward: "The bill is expected to cost about $969 billion over the next 10 years, but cuts overall spending by $23 billion."
Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., introduced amendments today that would save taxpayers billions of dollars and take important steps toward reforming the heavily subsidized federal crop insurance program.
The Salt Lake City Tribune joined the growing list of newspapers casting scorn on the Senate Agriculture Committee's 2012 farm bill.
The Environmental Working Group today released a letter signed by more than 70 American food and health leaders who urged Congress to cut crop insurance subsidies and redirect that money into vital investments in nutrition, healthy food and conservation programs. Signers include Michal Pollan, Bill McKibben, Marion Nestle and celebrity chefs Mario Batali, Tom Collichio, Alice Waters and Rick Bayless.
New York Times' editorial board member Robert Semple penned a blistering take on the Senate farm bill for the paper's Sunday Outlook section. Some excerpts: "Every five years or so, Congress promises a new, improved farm bill that will end unnecessary subsidies to big farmers, enhance the environment and actually do something to help small farmers and small towns."
EWG released an eye-opening report yesterday on subsidized crop insurance's out-of-control spending. Using newly acquired government data, EWG demonstrated that crop insurance subsidies overwhelmingly benefit large agricultural operations – to the tune of more than a million dollars apiece in 2011 for 26 growers.
Today the Environmental Working Group released a new analysis of 1 million+ government records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. We found that last year more than 10,000 farming operations have received federal crop insurance premium subsidies ranging from $100,000 to more than $1 million apiece. Some 26 farming operations received subsidies of $1 million or more last year.
A diverse coalition that included farmers, urban residents and conservation and business groups called on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency yesterday to hold farm operations accountable for their share of run-off pollution flowing into Minnesota waterways and the Mississippi River.
John Walter, executive editor of Successful Farming Magazine & Agriculture.com, took a Memorial Day weekend trip through western Iowa. Walter writes today at Agriculture.com about the environmental catastrophe he witnessed on his drive.
NPR's Diane Rehm Show hosted a panel discussion this morning featuring Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Jerry Hagstrom of The Hagstrom Report, Chandler Goule of the National Farmers Union and Environmental Working Group's own Scott Faber.
While the Senate and House Agriculture Committees debate how drastically they will cut proven farm bill conservation programs, widespread industrial agriculture pollution continues to take its toll. An ABC News affiliate in Baltimore reports this morning that the Maryland Department of the Environment found at least 6,000 dead fish washed ashore Monday in two Maryland counties: "MDE officials have been watching algae blooms since March and say that it is likely that one of the blooms caused the fish kill."
Now that Senate floor action on the 2012 farm bill is looking likely in early June, food policy reformers are weighing in. Grist's Food Editor, Twlight Greenway, quotes Steph Larsen at Nebraska's Center for Rural Affairs on the need for urgency on the part of good food advocates: "Say it's 6 p.m. on election night, or the top of the eighth inning. Of all the moments to walk away, is that the one to pick??"
David Rogers reports in Politico on moves by Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) to smooth over the animosities between regional commodity groups dueling over the committee's farm bill. Some excerpts: Having just taken over the Agriculture Committee in this Congress, Stabenow, a Democrat from Michigan, is hemmed in herself by entrenched Midwest Corn Belt interests who see the farm bill's new subsidy structure as payback after years of Southern dominance.
E&E's Amanda Peterka reports (subscription required) on the sad state of reform efforts in the farm bill hearings held this week by the House Agriculture Committee: The new farm bill is unlikely to return to a policy from the late 1980s and early 1990s that required farmers to abide by certain conservation requirements in order to receive crop insurance subsidies from the government.
Progressive Farmer editor Chris Clayton reports on the ongoing House Agriculture Committee hearings on the farm bill. After Wednesday's session on farm subsidy programs, he notes that, "Farm Bill Austerity Not Quite Taking Hold."
Witnesses at a House agriculture subcommittee hearing today had various ideas for replacing the discredited "direct payment" farm subsidy system. They ranged from raising crop price guarantees to beefing up revenue and crop insurance programs, and all could cost billions more than current farm programs. Lawmakers shouldn't swallow these proposals as "reform."
The Tri-State Neighbor, which covers agriculture in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota, reports that the Izaak Walton League of America convened a conservation forum for South Dakota ag officials, producers and conservationists.

Lingering bitterness over promises made in 2005 by the would-be developer of a three-acre site on West Henderson Road left Northwest Civic Association President John Ehlers and Board of Trustees member Kellie Ehlers suspicious about promises being made for the same property last week by a custom home builder.
What's now being called Slatey Hollow, 3558 W. Henderson Road, is more or less in the couple's backyard, John Ehlers said.
In fact, he passed the gavel to Vice President Greg Marietti at last week's monthly meeting because he intended to participate as a resident.
Ehlers still wound up more or less running things, out of force of habit.
In the end, eight of the trustees on hand voted in favor of a request by Compass Homes to amend the zoning for the site to allow front-loading garages.
Three of the trustees, including John Ehlers, Graphics and Zoning Committee Chairman Rosemarie Lisko and Dave Shaw, chairman of code enforcement, abstained.
The original developer in 2005 sought and narrowly received NWCA approval for four homes an acre on the three-acre parcel, all with garages entered from the side.
Subsequently, John Ehlers said, the developer at that time cut down trees that were to have been spared, resulting in a 200-day work stoppage ordered by city personnel.
Trees required to be planted by the developer mostly died, Ehlers added.
Eventually only a model and one home were built, and the bank wound up taking over the property, Ehlers said.
The new owner, Mark Braunsdorf of Compass Homes and his zoning lawyer and agent for the project, Tom Hart, made the presentation for the amendment to allow garages that are entered directly off the street as opposed to the side yard as originally required.
"It seems to be a reasonable request," John Ehlers said.
The new developer has no relationship at all to the previous one, Hart hastened to point out.
The new approach to the orientation of the garages, according to Braunsdorf, who was also present, permits greater flexibility in the kinds of houses that can be built and also provides for bigger yards.
The eight remaining lots would have homes selling for between $450,000 and $650,000, and one would be smaller than 1,500 square feet, Braunsdorf told civic association trustees.
Along with replacing trees that died, Compass Homes has agreed to remove the old ones, Hart said.
What John Ehlers termed the "living memory of the site" has left him and his neighbors leery of taking a developer's word for things when it comes to the property behind them.
Kellie Ehlers expressed concern some of the clients for Compass Homes might want to build the kinds of houses included in the original rezoning, which would occupy far more of the lots than the new proposal.
That's not the case, Hart said, but added his client was unwilling to agree to changes that would trigger a whole new rezoning process, not just amendments to the existing zoning.
"He's trying to do the right thing," Hart insisted.
"It's definitely an improvement," commented Trustee Mark Krietemeyer. "It can't be worse. This has got to be better."
John Ehlers made the motion to approve the request regarding garage locations, including as conditions for the NWCA recommendation a commitment to resolve storm water issues and removal dead trees and replacement with live ones.

We have an update on a story that we brought to you in April. The JukinVideo featured a motorcyclist nearly getting hit head-on by a car and rolling down a hill, losing his GoPro camera on the way to the ground. The updated information is that police launched an investigation and the driver was found guilty of driving dangerously because of the video. He was given several punishments, including a 12-week prison sentence.

You probably shouldn't jump on the trampoline during a hail storm, just sayin'...
Julie Bresnan was enjoying an ice cream cone in Mission Bay, New Zealand when she got an unwanted topping. Bird poop is not something you'll find in the topping line at Baskin-Robbins. Click here for the entire video.
Sometimes, riding a bike isn't all that it's cracked up to be, just ask these guys. In clip one, a dirt bike and its rider took a nose dive after the front wheel got submerged in mud. In clip two, a bicyclist was riding when his bike let up and he went junk-first into a metal pole.

Julie Bresnan was enjoying a beautiful day at Mission Bay Beach, New Zealand while eating a delicious ice cream cone and recording a video postcard to send back home to Ireland. Unfortunately, her day was a little less perfect after a nearby bird decided to add an extra topping to her frozen treat... and her head. Click here for the RTM take.
What would happen if you combine a bad idea in the first place with a terrible thing to jump from and top it all off with a little hesitation? You'd have yourself a painful fail just like the one this guy had.
A pair of recent races suffered separate close calls on the track. In clip one, a race in Northamptonshire, United Kingdom featured a nudge by a rival rider to another car on the track. In clip two, a downhill race in Greece almost ended early after a rider nearly fell onto a ram. The biker was propelled from a ramp and had little control over his landing.
Gavin Zintel was with his buddies when they lit a firework and the explosion went off immediately. Don't worry though, the cameraman's funny laugh likely enhanced the experience.
Two 18-year-old guys decided to make the most of their big high school dance in South Africa. They took a helicopter to their Matric Dance (the equivalent of a prom), but hit a power line that caused an outage at the venue. Luckily, folks brought generators to keep the party going.
If you're ever challenged to do the Ice Bucket Challenge, do not, we repeat, DO NOT attempt it while on the back of a horse. Lucky for you, this video shows you why that's a painfully bad idea...
Two videos that feature the good and the bad when it comes to man-made machines. In clip one, a printer literally catches it's own mistake and saves itself from the same fate as the printer in Office Space. In clip two, a guy learns why you don't put your face near a car's exhaust.
Okay, this video may be fake, you can decide that on your way. Basically, this kid refuses to get a job after graduating and spends all his time in his room. His dad takes his video games and runs them over with his lawnmower. Fake or not?

Kernel Developers Look At QR Codes For Error Messages
Published on 05 April 2014 12:35 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
26 Comments
Linux kernel developers have been discussing for the past few days about the possibility of encoding kernel oops messages into QR codes that would be shown on the screen.
Right now when a kernel oops/panic happens, a lot of text is dumped to the screen, most of which is not immediately understandable to the user encountering the problem. With the proposed approach, a QR code would be rendered that the user could then snap with a digital camera or smart-phone. From there the QR code could be decoded to expose the kernel error message in a more pleasant state than just being dumped to your screen. Approaches talked about would be either encoding the raw Linux kernel oops string or redirecting the user to a error message on Kernel.org. With the Kernel.org approach could potentially be also the automated reporting of the kernel oops. In order to make a long oops message fit within a reasonably sized QR code, gzip compression has been talked about for compressing the error string.
This is certainly an interesting approach to trying to better capture kernel oops messages. With my workflow, I would love to see this capability as well and would speed up some processes. Right now it looks like the developers working on these QR-packaged errors are currently getting the QR support into order.
Those interested in finding more about this tentative work to package Linux kernel oops/panic messages as QR codes, see
the mailing list thread
. Obviously this work is already out of the scope for the Linux 3.15 kernel but we look forward to its hopeful arrival in an upcoming kernel release.

Add a Little Dramatic Play to Learning
Play Script Fables
These well-known Aesop Fables, based on the Tapsy Tales Fables in French, are written using simple English in the present tense so that they can be used by all levels of students.
ESL Lesson Plans?
Teachers find that listening to, reading and performing these short fables are effective activities for teaching vocabulary. Each play script also has an audio file so that students can hear the story as they read along - a great way for students to practise independently before presenting the play themselves!

Wanda loves words! Sometimes she goes a bit overboard but she has a great time doing it. Her play scripts add an element of linguistic play to the play. The traditionally simple style of the fable is maintained, but since she loves words, Wanda expresses herself in longer sentences with more descriptive vocabulary. These free play scripts were written to encourage playful learning.
Students will enjoy dressing up and playing the roles themselves or staying behind the scenes to present the fables with puppets.

That's because these "bargains" can be expensive and impulsive and have more than the usual strings attached.
U.S. Department of Education is an exception to my rule.
The Special Direct Consolidation Loan program was rolled out in January as part of a series of steps by the Obama administration to make college education more affordable.
The good news is that the program offers some advantages over traditional federal loan consolidation plans, the biggest being a 0.25 percentage-point decrease in the borrowing rate.
Another selling point is that the length of time you have to repay the loan will remain the same as your existing repayment terms. It will not start over like it does under traditional consolidation plans -- meaning you will pay less interest over the life of the loan.
Consolidating your federal loans also should result in less confusion because you'll have one bill, one payment, one servicing company.
The special program is open only to borrowers who have at least one direct loan from the Department of Education and one or more Federal Family Education Loans from a commercial lender. Borrowers must be current or less than 270 days delinquent on their payments.
But eligible students need to act quickly because the program expires at the end of June, and the chances of extending it are virtually nil.
About 6 million borrowers with federal student loans -- or about one in six currently in repayment plans -- are eligible for the program.
By now, most eligible borrowers should have been contacted by federal loan officials, but you can check your status at http://www.studentloans.gov.
Through May 28, the Department of Education said it had received 277,000 enrollment applications from borrowers.
Mark Kantrowitz, a financial aid expert and founder of the FinAid.org website, said the special consolidation program is a worthwhile option, although he estimates it will yield only "modest savings" to eligible borrowers.
Kantrowitz said borrowers who are already receiving rate discounts from their current lender should weigh the tradeoffs of switching to the new program. Existing discounts do not transfer, he said.
If the special consolidation plan is not for you, don't forget there are at least a half dozen other federal student loan repayment options to choose from. The government's website at http://www.direct.ed.gov can help you pick the right plan for your situation.

MacDowell Brew Kitchen's Beach is Saved With a 5 to 1 Council Member Vote
Posted by Editorial / Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
By: Rachel Saenz
Leesburg Town Hall was swarming last night. A mix of people wearing suits, flips flops, gym clothes, Hawaiian dress—including a floral bathing suit—and "Save Our Beach" t-shirts attended the meeting to support MacDowell Brew Kitchen's co-owners, Gordon MacDowell and Nils Schnibbe in saving the restaurant's beach bar. About six feet (or roughly one-third) of the beach is set on town property, which is a problem when the brewery was serving alcohol on its land.
MacDowell and Schnibbe were first notified about their zoning violation about two weeks ago and were told that they'd have to rope off a section of the sand until a hearing was held—as the sale of alcohol on town land is prohibited.
About 12 patrons of the restaurant and bar (including MacDowell's mom) spoke on behalf of their love of the "beach" to the council and they did not hold back. Melissa Barnes, of Leesburg explained that the business had become an everyday oasis to her family. "It's not just a restaurant. My son plays in the sand for hours and it's a business that my family feels comfortable being at. A very family friendly place."

The closer it gets to the World Junior Hockey Championships, the further the odds on anyone but Canada winning the tournament becomes.
About a month ago, the Russians were slight underdogs to Team Canada with the host Swedes slightly behind. Today, the World Junior hockey odds on this huge international showcase of future NHL stars have Canada at +134, well ahead of Russia at +328 and Sweden at +330.
This is interesting given that Canada's stacked team from last year did not even collect a medal. Team USA won the event a year ago but are +330 to win it in 2014.
Team Finland is the most interesting of the longshot bets at +1500 with the Czechs further behind at +2700.
Canada assembled a team that includes more youngsters than in past years with two 2014 draft-eligible players and the consensus top pick for the 2015 draft, Connor McDavid. The tournament rarely sees younger players excel as its typically a tournament for 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds to showcase their skills.
Prop bets on which Canadian players will lead the team in scoring and other fun wagers are available.
Check out the latest WJC odds (courtesy of Sports Interaction):
Canada +134
Russia +328
Sweden +330
Finland +1500
Czech Republic +2700
Switzerland +4400
Slovakia +11000
Germany +33000
Norway +55600

As you said, there is no cystal ball and everyone is different. I do worry a lot about Jade and her future. I worry about all of my children's futures, but Jade's most of all. She currently recieves SSI because it is assumed that she will never be able to hold down a job and per evalluations of three different drs she cannot be schooled by 'traditional means'. She will be reassesed when she turns 18 and again when she is 25. If she still cannot hold a job she will be perminantly adressed to SSI, and Disability. She has aspirations of attending MIT and they have said that they do have a Virtual Docorate Program that was specifically designed for people like her, but they do not, as of yet, have the facilities to handle a student with her special needs there on campus. Stanford, her second choice in colleges, also has a quite extraordinary Virtual University that is available to everyone. We expect that she will never be able to really live 'alone', but you never know. She has made significant progress in the last two years, since she started on SSI. So it very well may come to pass that she is able to achieve her life long (almost 9 ys....she thinks she's getting old) ambition of working for NASA as a teraforming engeneer. But, I do have to say that I worry so much about her because she is so low functioning in most areas. She has an IQ of 72, which puts her just beyond the relm of Mental Retardation. However, many of her drs and I agree that the only reason she scored that high is because she is an autistic savant in the areas of Earth Science and Cosmology. Her scientific and mathmatical wording abilities 'distorted' her cognative testing to make it show higher than it actually is. We like to say she is boarderline between AS and HFA.
My other Aspies will probably turn out more like DH though. He leads a relatively normal life. He has his own family, complete with wife and children. He has a 'normal' job just like everyon else. He goes fishing with a buddie every so often and likes to play cards with my WP, Scott, and his wife. He says that since he found out he is autistic that he doesn't feel so lonely anymore because he knows that there are others out there just like him. We know quite a few other adult Aspies, and to tell you the truth, I can't see how the APA and ASA got their numbers that say only one in fifty Aspie men will get married and that Aspie women inevatably become housewives. Where the heck did they get this stuff from? ALL of the Aspie men we know are married and half of the Aspie women we know are proffessionals, some married and some not. (shrug) Personally, I think it takes an extraordinary person to be married to an Aspie. I am in awe of my MIL (who's DH is AS) and I feel sorry for my last two BILS....my sister (AS) has been married a few times.
I don't know how life will turn out for any of my kids. With my luck Jade will get several Phds and get launched into space on a a generational mission and my NT dd will end up in a car crash that will leave her halfway vegitablized. You never know, all you can do is pray, keep working with them, and pray some more.

Martinez and partner Karina Smirnoff won Dancing With the Stars Tuesday night. Martinez praised Smirnoff after their win, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "She's an amazing dancer, and she's obviously very beautiful. But I'm here to say she is one hundred million times as beautiful on the inside. She's really is an amazing person.
"I'm just so grateful that I was able to be part of the journey to help get her first mirrorball trophy. She deserves it. She should be in the elite category of people who've won on this show."

Martinez, a little-known personality when his Dancing With the Stars season kicked off, started his working career in the Army, enlisting in September 2002 and gaining skills as an 11-B Infantryman. He was deployed to Iraq and two months later, a Humvee he was driving hit a landmine, trapping him inside the vehicle. While the other three soldiers in the vehicle walked away with minor injuries, Martinez suffered severe burns that resulted in 32 surgeries over 34 months.
He played Brot Monroe on All My Children for three years.
