The steps below outline the financial aid application process as well as important deadlines. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or would like assistance with any part of the process!
File the FAFSAVerification and Other DocumentsThe Financial Aid Award LetterAward AcceptanceDisbursement of Funds Downloadable Forms
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a free application that you submit to the U.S. Department of Education. It is used to determine your eligibility for all types of federal aid and authorizes Lesley University to disburse funds to you. Lesley also uses the FAFSA to determine your eligibility for institutional need-based grants. For the fastest service, we recommend that you apply online and use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to make the process even easier. For assistance with the FAFSA process, view these FAFSA Tutorial Videos. Please include Lesley University's school code (002160) so that our office can receive it electronically. Don't forget, this form must be filled out each year to renew your financial aid eligibility!
After receiving your FAFSA, we will contact you by mail and by email if additional documents are necessary to complete your application. If you have been officially accepted to your academic program, you can also view a list of your required documents on the Lesley Online Information System (LOIS), under the "My Documents" link on the Students menu.
Many students are required to complete a process called verification, which involves submitting your tax return transcript and other information to our office. If you are selected for verification, there is no cause for concern! About 30% of students are randomly selected for this process by the U.S. Department of Education.
Only submit verification documents if we request them. Submitting documents that we do not require could needlessly lengthen the application process.
If you are selected for verification, we will send you a Verification Worksheet to complete. If you are unsure of which one you need to complete or if you feel we have asked you for the incorrect version please contact our office with any questions. If you need to access a form that was previously mailed to you, see our Downloadable Forms section at the bottom of this page.
Once we have reviewed your FAFSA and any other documents requested by our office, we will send you a final Financial Aid Award Letter. The award letter will contain the types of financial aid that make up your award, the amounts per semester, a page that outlines costs, as well as a financing strategy for any remaining financial need. Your award letter will also be accompanied by a Financial Aid Award Guide which explains how financial aid is calculated and reiterates the types of aid available.
We will assume that you want any scholarships, need-based grants and/or work-study that have been offered, and you don't have to accept these awards. However, any Federal Direct Stafford Loans that you have been offered will require additional steps before they can be credited to your student account. To accept the Federal Direct Stafford Loan(s) offered to you, log in to your LOIS account (www.lesley.edu/LOIS) and follow the instructions to accept, decline, or revise your award.
Accept the award: this means you are accepting the Federal Direct Stafford Loan amount in full.Decline the award: this means you are declining the Federal Direct Stafford Loan amount in full.Revise the award: this means you can opt to decrease the loan amount, or see if you have additional eligibility. Please note that the only students with additional eligibility will be graduate students who are enrolled in off-campus cohort programs as their loan amount has been based on the minimum requirement for tuition. Everyone else will be awarded their maximum eligibility from the start. Once you revise the amount, you must click Accept to finish the step.
After you complete the LOIS acceptance process, we will notify the U.S. Department of Education who will then certify your loan(s). We will send email reminders about this step until it is completed. If a considerable period of time has passed without the loan(s) being accepted, we will cancel the loan(s) and send you a cancellation notice
When you accept Federal Direct Stafford Loans, there will be two more steps to complete to secure the loans.
If you have not previously borrowed a Federal Direct Stafford Loan, or if you have not borrowed within the last ten years, you must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN). The MPN is an agreement between you and the federal government that you understand your responsibilities of as a Federal Direct Stafford Loan borrower. You can complete the Direct Loan MPN directly on the U.S. Department of Education's website.
If you have not previously borrowed a Federal Direct Stafford Loan at Lesley University, you must also complete the Direct Loan Entrance Counseling, which explains your rights and responsibilities as a Federal Direct Stafford Loan borrower. You will be prompted to do so after completing your MPN, or you can access Entrance Counseling directly on the U.S. Department of Education's website.
Please note that you will be required to log in using your Department of Education PIN at both the beginning and the end of Entrance Counseling. Please do not exit out of the browser, until you have entered your PIN again and have designated Lesley University to receive confirmation that you have completed Entrance Counseling (Federal School Code: 002160).
The U.S. Department of Education recently created a helpful tool called Financial Awareness Counseling. While we encourage you to review the Financial Awareness Counseling session, it is not the same as Entrance Counseling.
All financial aid for a given semester, including any certified Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans and/or any certified Private Alternative Loans, is credited to your student account ("disbursed") during each semester's add/drop period. In order to receive your maximum eligibility for federal and state grants, you must register for all classes, including independent studies, and must have submitted any required consortium agreements before the end of each semester's add/drop period. (A consortium agreement is used when you are taking a course for your degree but outside Lesley University. You can find a Consortium Agreement in the Downloadable Forms section below.)
We will review your registered credits to confirm your enrollment before disbursing your aid each semester. We will continue to send email reminders during the add/drop period if your enrollment is below full-time and places your financial aid in jeopardy.
Your financial aid will disburse to your student billing account and will go first to pay your tuition, fees, and any other direct charges (such as room and board for on campus students) that you owe the University. Any remaining funds will be mailed to you in the form of a refund check by the Student Accounts Office within 14 days after the disbursement date. Please take these dates into account if you are planning to use financial aid towards living expenses off campus.
If you are awarded financial aid after your disbursement date has passed, your funds will be disbursed as soon as possible once all requirements have been completed by you.
The forms below may be requested when more detail or clarification is needed for your Financial Aid Application.

CAS court case against Ilyumzhinov dismissed
The case against Kirsan Ilyumzhinov at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland has been dismissed. The court decided that FIDE failed to properly verify the validity of the nominations, but ruled against Karpov and its backing federations because the wording of the FIDE regulations is insufficiently specific on the matter of nomination requirements.
As we reported last week, the CAS hearings started on Wednesday, September 15th in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Karpov team questioned the validity of Ilyumzhinov's ticket. Backed by the chess federations of the United States, France, Germany, Switzerland and Ukraine, Karpov asked the court to check the validity of Ilyumzhinov's claim to have been nominated by the Russian Chess Federation as their candidate for the FIDE presidential elections. Moreover, the validity of Ilyumzhinov's nomination by Argentina and Mexico was also questioned, as was Ms. Beatriz Marinello's nomination by Chile and Brazil (relevant because a team must include a female delegate). Remarkably, the CAS in Lausanne still doesn't mention the case in their list of hearings. Last week we spoke with one of the CAS people involved in the case, but the only thing she could say was that "everything is confidential". Asked about when the ruling would be, the lady replied: "That I cannot tell you either, and even after there has been a ruling, the case might remain confidential."
Case dismissed
As it turned out, the ruling took place yesterday. It hasn't been published by the CAS itself yet, but both parties involved have confirmed the decision by the court and last night it was published on the FIDE website. Interestingly, the FIDE report ends with a link to the official CAS document (PDF, 27 pages), despite the fact that the first page says:
The parties are advised that this matter shall remain confidential pursuant to the provisions of Article R43 of the CAS Code, save for the publication of the award, further to the parties' agreement. The CAS anticipates publishing the award on its website tomorrow morning, Tuesday, 28 September 2010.
In its report, FIDE claims victory ("FIDE won the case against Karpov 2010 Inc. and five national federations") and on the Ilyumzhinov campaign site, the crowd goes wild:
The lawsuit, which was filed by White & Case, a Manhattan firm, sought to have the ticket of Kirsan Ilyumzhinov disqualified. BUT…JUSTICE PREVAILED.
It has been a testing time for the "One World. One Vision." Team. We have had to face countless attacks by the Karpov Team. We have had to defend ourselves in court, we have had to defend ourselves against malicious rumors and verbal attacks, we have had to face enormous pressure – but….AGAIN…WE PREVAILED.
We have succeeded in the face of adversity and with 94 National Federations supporting us so far, WE WILL WIN!
However, it seems highly inaccurate to speak of a victory. As can be read in the PDF document, the CAS has determined that FIDE has failed to exercise its duty to verify the validity of the nominations. This is best demonstrated by a logical inconsistency in the FIDE Statutes (we quote the CAS document):
Finally, the Panel's conclusion [that FIDE has failed to exercise its duty to verify the validity of the nominations - CV] is confirmed by the following considerations: Article 16.3 of the FIDE Statutes provides that decisions made by the GA "concerning [...] the electoral regulations will come into effect on the last day of the General Assembly, after the General Assembly is closed [...]". On this basis alone, the GA cannot be the proper forum to make decisions respecting the eligibility of nominations, the reason being that the decision regarding eligibility would not become effective until after the vote on the election would have to take place.
Besides, Ilyumzhinov's claim above that "The court in Lausanne confirmed legitimacy [sic] of my nomination to the post of the President of FIDE by the Russian Chess Federation" is not true. The CAS specifically declined to test the Russian nominations, declaring it irrelevant for reasons that will become clear below.
FIDE regulations insufficiently specific
Nonetheless, the CAS had to rule against Karpov and its backing federations because the wording of the FIDE regulations is insufficiently specific on the matter of nomination requirements. According to the FIDE Electorial Regulations a nominated person has to be a member of the nominating federation for at least a year. But the wording in section 1.2 of the Electorial Regulations is crucial, as it has three different ways of indicating the "duty" to be fulfilled:
- "nominations [...] must reach the FIDE Secretariat [...]" - "to be elected, each candidate shall be nominated [...]" and - "he/she should have been a member [...]" [emphasis added]
So the Karpov side was right in most of its claims, but because of the above, the CAS Panel decided:
Contrary to what has been suggested at the hearing, one cannot ignore that according to the text of Section 1.2 of the EL membership is a "should-requirement" as opposed to "must" or "shall". The Panel therefore considers that the requirement of a one-year membership is not mandatory but recommendatory.
"Mr Ilyumzhimov has been properly nominated by the federations of Mexico/Argentina" [...] "Ms. Marinello has been validly nominated by the federations of Chile and Brazil".
In other words: Ilyumzhinov's ticket wasn't disqualified by the CAS in Lausanne because of poor formulated regulations, which was never discovered before because thus far nobody needed to check these regulations. And it seems the chess world got stuck in a Catch-22 in that it might need a new FIDE President to improve the regulations that kept the incumbent one for running for a new term.
Elections - when?
The FIDE Presidential elections are scheduled for tomorrow, but the CAS PDF document speaks of "September 30th". In fact it wouldn't be the first time if the elections were moved from the first day of the General Assembly to the last, and so it's possible that it won't take place until next Saturday, October 2nd. Despite the unfortunate result in Lausanne, the Karpov team seems confident. In their reaction to the court's decision, on the Karpov campaign site they write in bold:
While we are disappointed that Kirsan's administration will not be directly punished for abusing FIDE powers and ignoring regulations, we look forward to winning the vote in Khanty-Mansiysk!
'The kings are making the FIDE officials nervous'
Sergey Shipov, who is a close friend of Garry Kasprov, yesterday wrote the following at his LiveJournal blog (text translated by Colin).
"By the way, on the kings. They're there, in Khanty. They're walking around the tournament hall, collecting crowds of admirers and making the arbiters and FIDE officials nervous. They're using their personal grandeur to save a pile of money in the election campaign. After all, the FIDE Congress has begun and the warring sides are fighting over the votes of the delegates. FIDE, i.e. Ilyumzhinov's team, are giving out presents, as usual. In their hands they've got the administrative resources, and money. While the KarKas team has new hopes, the grandeur of champions, the negative impression years of Ilyumzhinov rule have left and… I hope, also money. Yes, actually, I'm sure of that. Without the damned stuff you can't get anywhere. One of the greats is confident of victory. Saying they'll do it even without the Court in Lausanne. An optimist, both in chess and in life! The other, as I understand it, is more cautious in his evaluations. He's more cautious in general… However, he's very active. It's clear that there are serious positional justifications for an attack. And if Karpov attacks it means that it's been calculated."

@ Colin: I have followed the campaign as well as possible meaning that I have followed all relevant publications on chessbase, chessvibes, the blog of kevin spraggett, chessdom, onefide. fide, karpov2010, chess in translation and the daily dirt of mig greencard so my opinion is not based on a short impression but on quite a balanced bucket of sources. What strikes me is that one camp is completely allergic to Ilyumzhinov. If the man were radio-active, he would not provoke stronger reactions. It is very bon ton to bash Ilyumzhinov and his colourful quotes, plans and projects. From a chess perspective, his contribution or that of his board has been substantial. Quite a solid track record in organizing or if necessary 'saving' important tournaments. Olympiads have only gotten bigger. Tromso is talking about a 20 million budget. Chess in school is agressively being promoted worldwide. The number of federations has grown. Not much to despise the man about. So far, the so called high profile fund raisers in New York and London combined only cover about half the campaign cost (100.000) of the Karpov campaign. The live auction in New York (very entertaining by the way) and the sale of the Karpov-week in Moscow several thousands of euros below the intrinsic value did not give a very promising perspective on the fund-raising possibilities.
Fide should look forward and not backward. The future or the growth market does not lay in London, Paris or New York but indeed in Baghdad, Beijing, Brasilia and Bamako. The enormous fame of the two K's in those days and in those cities is something that was. It is not healthy or rational to expect it to come back just because two chess pensionados and a lot of chess fans who cherish their great history want it to. Maybe those days and that kind of success and prestige will come back when the (western) chess world stops wanting to relive the past and let's the rest of the world grow and share in the fun.
Lastly I do agree that is also not good to have the most important tournaments only in a relatively confined part of the world. Looking at the productive worldtrips by the two presidential candidates, FIDE should be able to find more diverse locations in the long run.

Karpov is not a crook but a pragmatic opportunist, Ilyumzhinov is a criminal and a lunatic.

When only looking at the summary of the pdf in the end and the financial consequences that are distributed among the claimant and respondent, it seems that there is probably a bit more to this ruling than just the word play described in this article. An interesting detail that is now only published in the ruling and that untill now was not reveiled by either the Karpov or the Ilyumzhinov campaign (while both were very well aware of it) is that Karpov appears not to have been a member of the Swiss federation and therefore, his candadacy from this federation was not legitimate. Funny...
Anyhow, as a non-chess player (or Karpov or Ilyumzhinov associate) I find it interesting to see how the 'camps' deal with their campaigns and for the moment strongly prefer the Ilyumzhinov approach to the campaign.
When looking at the chessbase report on the General Assemblee, the degree of international organization of FIDE with so limited means is quite impressive. Other than a remarkable and not attributed quote by Kasparov, the Ilyumzhinov campaign seems to have refrained from negative campaigning and has relied on outbidding and outperforming the Karpov campaign both before and during the election campaign. In worldwide chess organization, looking at the growing number of associated federations and their development, Ilyumzhinov has been quite succesful after and despite of the opportunistic but not very professional moves of the 13th world chess champion that split the (then even smaller) chessworld. What remains is a (according to some modestly) positive track record in chess for Ilyumzhinov. The advancements of fide are fact, not speculation. What is speculation and indeed quite fascinating is everything around the person of Ilyumzhinov. He does participate in interviews run by critical western media and he is not afraid to say what he seems to sincerely believe.
Western federations and politicians could every now and then look further than just their perception of reality and refrain from judging too fast. Worldwide (chess) development must always be seen in a historical context.
This is a in many aspects fascinating campaign and (just) one of these aspects is the almost fundamental selfrighteousness of some western federations, one western campaign and some western (chess) media.
A succesful presidential campaign in 2014 will depend on the ability to conduct a truly
global campaign and in accepting and embracing global differences. The rest of the world doest not accept being treated as secondary and run from Europe and / or the United States. With the upcoming of economies such as Brazil, India and China, the economic / power ground for such an outdated political model is vanishing everywhere and apparently has already vanished in chess. The world has become bigger than Europe, not in the last place thanks to the FIDE of Ilyumzhinov.
By the way, it would however not be a bad idea to have some sort of term limit. In The Netherlands, a term limit of 12 years is becoming quite comon / the standard.

The court has officially ruled that the regulations are vague and ambiguous. No wonder Ilyumzhinov regards this as a victory, after all everything he ever says or promises is vague and ambiguous.

@Kees: "the Ilyumzhinov campaign seems to have refrained from negative campaigning"
Having followed this campaign very closely I can assure you that nothing could possibly be further from the truth than that statement. Just have a look at the onefide.com website - or if you want I can drag up an almost limitless number of insults and misrepresentations coming from Ilyumzhinov and such pleasant characters as Makropoulos.
Actually one of the most successful bits of negative campaigning has been to pretend that while Karpov has been negative Ilyumzhinov has somehow fought a constructive campaign. Which is patently absurd.

Kees - you got to be joking. Chess was never in such a terrible state than it is today. Even if Kirsan opens a new "chess school" in Bamako every day.

Sounds like the court said "You're right, but FIDE's so lame we can't help you do anything about it."

@ Zooty: maybe you can elaborate on that terrible state. Economic growth has given people more choice and the internet has made the real size of the chess world visible (not only to the chess fans themselves). But it is also making visible that chess is being grown in places that we 30 or 40 years ago had not heard of and the world number ones are getting younger and younger!
If you mean by terrible state that there is no more cold war to propel chess and no more western economic boom combined with underdeveloped competing sports(organizations) to subsidize the hobby of a happy few you are right. But the global chess organization (despite giants such as euwe) was in that day was no way match for the FIDE organization nowadays. It's life was just a little bit more easy.
The world has changed. Fide has achieved a lot. And Ilyumzhinov .... I don't know.

By the way I took the trouble of reading the entire pdf and I am not relying on the interpretations of the Karpov or Ilyumzhinov camp and the media on both sides....
I can recommend it to everyone, interesting stuff!

Chess is in the western countries close to non-existent these days.
And you can keep praising Ilyumzhinov for "developing" chess in some obscure countries as long as you like to - it does not really have any relevance.
Also your laudation of FIDE's organisational skills sound strange - just have a look at the recent world cup series. For me that looked more like a disaster.
Not to speak of candidates tournaments, junior events, etc. etc .......

A case based on a technicality was thrown out because of a technicality. Poetic justice.
Get them to court for rigging the election: now that is a case.
- Log in to post comments
@Zooty: Chess never was that big. Again, the internet and growing competition from other sports in the media are responsible. Besides that, of course there also has been a negative trend. But only from a small fraction of society to a smaller fraction of society.
Obscure: you illustrate exactly the point I have been making. Calling countries obscure and thinking of them as passive entities without a history, without a future, without people capable of appreciating the game of chess seems shortsighted.
When complaining about the tournament cycles, look at how many tournaments FIDE is organizing now and how many tournaments there were then. I agree that changes should be implemented wisely. It should be noted however that Karpov and Kasparov are not exactly the people who should attack FIDE on the continuity of the world championship cycle........(!!!)

@ kees; Thx but I can't say I agree with most of your comments. You seem very apologetic towards Kirsan. He has a history of corruption; buying votes or threatening delegates his preferred method to win the elections is just one example.
From http://twitter.com/chessninja
Was just told by sweet delegate he "hopes to God Karpov wins" but he can't vote or Kirsan's man will have him fired from his govt job. Nice.
Kirsan to Peru Fed: "Put my guy back in charge or your teams don't play the Olympiad they already registered for." Classy stuff.

@kees: It sounds like you're living in this fantasy world where all of Iliumjinov's promises were fulfilled. Lucky you.
Unfortunately for us, here on this planet they all evaporated into thin air.

@kees: even if Kirsan only had positive chess events to boast - which he definitely hasn't - you can't deny the fact that he is horrible PR for chess (in fact doesn't seem all that interested in chess as a game) and has a more than dubious track record as a president of Kalmykia and indeed president of the World Chess Federation, which he basically treated as his personal toy for 15 years.
But even if we are extremely generous and ignore this as well, there's still the suspicion of being involved in the murder of a journalist who criticized him (two of his associates were convicted for it) and for facing numerous eye-witness accounts of bribing federation members during the previous Olympiad.
Surely you'll agree that in assessing someone's qualities we shouldn't only look at the positive sides of things (however hard they may be to find) but also the negative aspects? I'd say the negative clearly outweighs the positive in Kirsan's case. One really doesn't have to be all that subjective to come to that conclusion. It's pretty much basic logic.

I would prefer nuance. There is no nuance when people start talking about FIDE or Ilyumzhinov. It degrades the discussion and therefore the game of chess. Which is exactly what you all seem to want to prevent from happening.
A tweet with an anonymous source to me is pretty worthless information especially knowing that chessninja is in the Karpov camp and this thread proves that once in a camp, it is apparently very difficult to provide the public with some useful or objective information. Curious if Ilyumzhinov has this kind of power in 94 countries around the world.
Buying votes: what is new? The Karpov campaign is doing exactly the same. During the presidential campaign, a lot of attention and money was given (or promised) by both candidates.
@ Guillaume: I do not see much fantasy in the grand prix tournaments or the wc match or the olympiad in khanty mansiisk or the world youth championship in poland or the campomanes memorial or the cuzco tournament or the highly organized FIDE commissions.
@ Arne: I agree that in the western media he is far from the chess icon you're looking for. Here of course we like to see and hear more of Magnus Carlsen, but the same can be said of most grandmasters and maybe even most chess players. You are quite a special bread. But again, with Ilyumzhinov in this respect you guys seem to have won the lottery, I give that much to you.
With suspicion I can do not very much. I only see the interviews on tv and in newspapers and on websites with Ilyumzhinov and I have some sort of appreciation for his open mind, politeness and positiveness. The rest of his character is a mystery to me and probably most if not all other observers. Being different doesnt mean being mad and being mad doenst mean being a murderer although it doesnt exclude either. But in the west, we appreciate the principle innocent untill proven guilty.
A lot of accusations are just assumptions withouth proof. Are the accusers to lazy or to incompetent, is Ilyumzhinov that smart or is there simply no proof.

My God kees, you must be one of Kirsan's extraterrestrials. The proof is the incompetence with which the FIDE team has managed the World Championship cycle for the last fifteen years. Switching formats on a whim. Switching locations when "sponsors" turn out to be fictional. Delaying and rescheduling competitions because they are left completely unorganized. Oh, and letting one WC player view videos of the other player in his restroom, unbeknownst to the other, causing total chaos! Really classy and fair, that. All of these have happened, and it is FACT. The WC is in a mess. We were supposed to have had a Candidates Tournament by now, I believe. But that depends on which "schedule" you consult. There are so many that I am not sure!
This is the most important thing that FIDE does, and it cannot successfully do it to save its life. More of the same is what you want... more of the same is what you are going to get.

@kees: Again, in your fantasy world the grand prix tournaments and the wc championship may have beem tremendous successes, but here on planet earth several grand prix tournaments were cancelled and the world championship has been a mess when it was not a disgrace for chess (remember Elista 2006). As for the cuzco tournament... lol, the what?

I'm wondering, because of course I didn't read everything, and so I can't argue with you.
But I read something --- that both Spraggett and Chessbase quote and CV didn't --- which seems to remove from Karpov & allies any posible reason on the invalidation of Kirsan's ticket.
Could you comment in few words pls (as you're surely inside, as KS and CB, and I'm not)?
- Log in to post comments
Ah, and with an answer also to the question
"Even if Karpov's claims were invalid because of mere tiny formal/vocabulary reasons of the regulations, wouldn't Spraggett still be right? Karpov must, in any case, then, either bluffing, either joking, either trying to fool us all, and anyway throwing out (not just his) time and money, because what the hell is he sueing?? Didn't HE and his attorneys read the regulations?

I do not now 'the truth' either but it is obvious that a lot of chess players from the west are only seeing and reading what they want to see and what they want to read. Kirsan is bad, Karpov is good. Karpov president and everything is solved. Kirsan makes a pigs breakfast out of everything. I just think that the above conclusions are childish and naive. I am not a big Kirsan supporter. Also I think, that he should not eternally be president. Actually, it would be a good idea to have some (generous) term limit for example 12 or maybe even 16 years. But then it must be over because every organization must renew itself and give space to new people and creativity to take the lead. It is commendable dat Karpov is willing to dedicate himself to the presidency. But I strongly dislike his negative and childish campaign. Karpov probably wants to be somebody / something he is not. From the pictorial and video material it is obvious that he is no leadermaterial. Ilyumzhinov on the other hand seems comfortable in his role. Of course, these last remarks are my personal impression...
- Log in to post comments
@Castro, what is it you're trying to say? The court dismissed the case because FIDE made a mess of its own regulations. It basically said to Karpov: "sorry, but we can't do anything for you because your World Federation made such a mess of things."
How can this - ever - be a victory for FIDE? If anything, it proves Karpov is right in much of his criticism.
Pretty much the same thing applies to the nominations. As the article states literally, the CAS has determined that FIDE has failed to exercise its duty to verify the validity of the nominations. Again, how can this - ever - be a victory for FIDE? How is this anything else but a validation of the criticism of the Karpov team?

I hear that Kirsan also has been properly nominated by the venusian and the martian chess federations. Let's hope Karpov can save the Earth!

Kees: Bessel Kok tried a dignified campaign. It didn't work. It could not overcome the power of bribery. This is an attempt to fight at Kirsan's level, i.e. no holds barred, as he will not be removed otherwise.
And if Kirsan is not removed somehow, he *will* be President-for-life. He clearly thought that was his job in Kalmykia, but Dima had other ideas.

As I told before, maybe you're simply right, and I just retained part of the issue. And so, forcefully, I'm not "trying to say" anything very deep.
But you're not answering either, are you?
As for your question "How can it be a victory for FIDE", I can merely try to be a bit of a "devil's attourney", by explaining that they considered having been under Karpov's (presumely vicious) atack. They call atention for the fact that Karpov failed in that. So they won, they resisted and prevailed. And now, was Karpov's move vicious or not? At least bluff and false information and triunfalism?
Who's triunfalisms is to be criticised: That of KK or this recent FIDE one?
My weak state of information tells me both are over the top, at least a little ridiculous.
But vicious/false, I don't know which is more. That's why I asked.
It looks like you're somewhat in denyal, because (ridiculous or not), I don't understand why you can see a victory for Kirsan in it! The enemy had a big drawback. It's a win! Or why not?
That Kirsan's FIDE had (lots of) faults, regulations included, sure! Why not?
But the issue here is the failing of Karpov's atempts in trial, or not?
What am I missing in that?
And why CB and KS published those "for the sake of completion" (and other) parts, and you don't?
They seem to put Karpov's claims... simply away!

@bayde: if we leave the stories about aliens and accusations of corruption alone, then I agree that it is not healthy to have one president for too long. That being said, in this election it will probably be not a very bad outcome to have Ilyumzhinov for yet another and for the sake of organizational and democratic renewal last term elected. The Karpov campaign just doesn't inspire a lot of trust on pretty much every point they criticize Ilyumzhinov on. The difference is, that Ilyumzhinov - apart from ideological complaints from western perspective - has quite a reasonable chess record for the difficult market that is chess.
Maybe Kok was one or two elections too early. Also those 'obscure' chess countries develop themselves as well as FIDE develops itself. And maybe there are one or more tricks that Kok nowadays would have done differently also. Development along democratic lines takes some time especially in primitive worlds such as that of chess :-).
@ Arne: of course, the whole Karpov case in Lausanne was from a childish perspective. If we can not win on merit or on our relations with the voter, we try it on technicality / juridisation of the problem. It is a tendency we seem to see everymore often also in the real world and it is very good for lawyers but for mankind... One can never make rules for every situation. Good laws / rules leave space for human thinking. The court in Lausanne (by the way comprised of and consulted by the brightest juridical minds and philosophers) have (in my opinion wisely) decided to draw a conclusion in the spirit of the rules. Also, note that the Karpov campaign made a very basic (and for people with some judiciary background amateurish) mistake by going directly to TAS without following procedure in the competent Russian body or bodies. The court ruled that most costs are for the complaining side.
The court ruled that FIDE did not (from a partison point of view) misrepresent facts on its website. The court announced that the Karpov campaign had to retract Karpovs candidacy by the Swiss federation because Karpov was not a member of that federation. Quite funny when considering what this case was all about and who started it. The court also noted that Argentina's nomination of Ilyumzhinov could not be retracted after the June deadline so probably the same applies for the Swiss nomination of Karpov, but still....
Anyway it was interesting and fun on this day-off, have a good night everybody and let's see what the election result will be!

@ DR AHMED: Please study the composition of the arbitration court for this case. Finally, some wise men (and not some biased chess fanatics) have spoken out. Ignoring their reasoning by screaming out loud is the reaction of a (young) child.
@ Everyone:
Also a not unimportant point that yet has to be made:
- In spite of the claims by the Karpov campaign in this case and on their website it is now clear that the Karpov campaign did not understand the working of the candidation from the RCF or - more likely because it did not fit into their plan - they wished to ignore that the Dvorkovich letter of late June was the only relevant voice from RCF. Almost as if living in a fantasy world...
Have a good day everyone!

@ Zooty: It is a simple matter of competent authority and has got nothing do with being for or against a candidate. I understand that right now there is a problem with two delegates from Peru. Also here is the question who is the competent authority. Maybe in this case, the Karpov camp is right. But I am not sure as I do not know the details of the situation and the information on the campaign websites is just too biased to base any conclusions on whereas the situation in the case of the RCF is very clear.

kees: "It is a simple matter of competent authority"
Yes it is. Just like Pinochet was the competent authority in Chile from 12.9.1973 onwards.
By the way - the one Peruvian candidate has official letters from his federation and from his ministry of sports to show - the other has Kirsan's words. Really unclear?

Kees, you are ---deleted--- no need for this in the discussion, in our opinion
Or maybe you are Kirsan or his good friend and partner in crime Joseph Blatter in own person.
Close to everyone in developed chess worlds agree Kirsan represents NOTHING positive for FIDE. Only the shady small chess federations support him. Which means nothing, cuz they were bribed for years.
You surely understand that if the FIDE regulations were any competent, they would assign votes based on number of members and he would be nowhere.
By the way, I agree that the Karpov campaign was rather dirty as well. Youy're right about that. But guess what: he'll have to drag himself down to Kirsan's level to be able to beat him. And even then he might not, but we'll see.
Also, I am not 100% sure Karpov will do terrific, but for sure he can't do anything worse then Kirsan. And in any case he's an honourable figure.

Defensive lineman Chris Kelsay did not practice Friday and is a long shot to play on Sunday. Spencer Johnson, Kyle Williams, Stevie Johnson and Kraig Urbik all likely to be on the field against the Patriots One thing in the Bills favor heading into Sunday's rematch with New England is that the Patriots defense has struggled a bit against the pass this season. The Bills were able to take advantage of that at times when the two teams met Ralph Wilson Stadium on September 30.
In Buffalo's loss quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 350 yards and four touchdowns; however, the Patriots were down a few starters in the defensive backfield for that game.
"Each game is totally different," said Bills head coach, Chan Gailey. "I look at it and see the possibilities of some things, but you do not know what they are going to do to adjust either. And they get a lot of their secondary players back this week."

Hello all,
What are the main differences between Emptiness as taught by Nargajuna and Shantideva for example, and anatta as taught in classical Theravada?
Are there any differences?
What I see as the main difference is that the Prasangikas for example teach about the illusory nature of reality and its dream-like qualities. Is this an embelishment of 'anatta' or a divergence?
To me the Prasangika stance is pretty water-tight so I have to wonder how and why it would not be embraced.

Good for the price

These shorts are for casual wear around the house and near the beach or pool as a cover-up. They are extremely short, so I keep them under control by folding them down around my hips. I have the black, white, mint and red in size small, and they are all quite loose unfolded all the way on me. I read that the waist on this style was 21", so I thought they would fit better, since my measurements are 31-22-32. I am also surprised to see that the shorts are just as short on me as they are on the model shown online, since I am only 5'3".
Cons:Just way too short if you have long legs! Very cheeky!

Cute but bad fit

Theses shorts, are cute but they run way small (0-2), I wear a extra small, and I probably need a large for a comfortable fit.

May 22 - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced that loans and grant funds will be provided to applicants in 11 states to support businesses, improve the quality of medical care and create or save hundreds of jobs. Funding is provided through USDA's Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant program. The United States Department of Agriculture remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. The announcement is one part of the department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy.
"Investing in rural America is essential to continuing the economic revitalization we are seeing today," said Vilsack. "The funding announced today will help support the Obama Administration's vision by providing our rural communities with resources to support small businesses, improve public facilities, and create new, sustainable jobs."
For example, USDA will provide a grant and loan to East Mississippi Electric Power Association in Clarke County, Miss. The Clarke County Board of Supervisors will construct and equip a 10,860 sq. ft. workforce education building that will be operated by Jones Junior College in Stonewall.
Western Illinois Electrical Cooperative will use economic development funds to assist in the construction of a medical clinic for Memorial Hospital in Carthage. The hospital's long-term plan is to create a state-of-the-art medical campus. The clinic will create 25 jobs and save 20 existing positions.
Funding of each recipient is contingent on the recipient meeting the conditions for the grant or loan. The following is a complete list of recipients.
North Dakota
South Carolina
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

very cute! Great dress, my regional manager even commented on how cute it is. I had to wear a sweater with it of course, but worth the $. October 23, 2013
Love it I love this dress. I went up a size based on prior reviews, but loved it on. I have no hips, small bust size but I do have a booty. September 14, 2013
Zipper problems The dress fit and looked great once it was on, but the zipper on the side continued to get hung where the material came to the seam. I returned the first dress due the zipper being tore from the seam thinking it was like that when I purchased it. It was difficult to zip the very first time I tried it on. I exchanged the dress out for a new one and same issue, only there's not a rip, I'm afraid to force the zipper past the seam due to tearing the dress. The dress looks great, but I can't wear it. August 30, 2013
Not Perfect, But Worth It I wish I had this dress earlier in summer, so I could have worn it more. It's super lightweight and very wearable. I did notice that the top was a bit loose, but I threw on a black belt and it didn't matter. The fabric is great; it hugs your curves, but doesn't cling to your imperfections. Very flattering. My only complaint is its length. I'm 5'9" and wear a size 6 and this dress was higher above my knees than I normally like for work. August 29, 2013
love this dress! I also found it to be a great fit; I was hesitant to order it with some saying the top was big, so I went to the store to try it on. My usual size 2 was a perfect fit; top not big at all....the cutout back is what drew me to the dress, love it. August 20, 2013
Nice Dress I ordered this dress for work. I wore it with a 3/4 sleeve length black suit jacket and I received a lot of comments. August 15, 2013
My top summer pick from The Limited I'm devastated to see bad reviews for this dress because I am head over heels for it! I'm either a size 2 or 4 in The Limited's dresses, and I went for the 2 in this dress. It fits like a glove. I am a size 36D, so I didn't have a problem with the top of the dress, but, honestly, I don't think it runs any bigger than another similar type of dress from any store, especially The Limited. I think this dress is a perfect 10. July 28, 2013
Good Idea but Bad Execution I liked the idea of this dress but like others have said, it fits weirdly. The bottom is perfect, but the top portion is way too big. Yes I am smaller chested but this largeness of the top was way more than usual. The dress is also a bit short for me. I bought a size 0 and it comes a little past the middle of my thigh. I'm 5'4 for reference. The dress is also unlined. I did end up returning this. July 12, 2013

POSTED: Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 1:00am
UPDATED: Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 10:30am
(CNN) — Bill Clinton was arguably the Democratic Party's biggest rock star on the campaign trail last year, and now the former president appears to be getting ready to hit the trail again.
CNN has confirmed that Clinton will be in his native state of Arkansas on March 16 to help Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor kick off his 2014 re-election bid. The fundraiser, in Little Rock, the state capital, will be headlined by Clinton, who served 12 years as Arkansas governor before being elected president in 1992.
The state's current governor, Democrat Mike Bebe, will also be on hand, as will Pryor's father, former congressman, governor and senator David Pryor, and former senator and governor Dale Bumpers.
While the two-term Pryor won re-election in 2008 without any GOP opposition, he will most likely face a fierce Republican challenge next year. And the early start for Pryor's campaign kickoff illustrates how seriously he's taking his re-election bid.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette first reported news of the Pryor campaign event and the former president's participation.
Democrats currently have a 55-45 advantage in the Senate (with two independent senators caucusing with the Democrats). They are currently defending 21 of the 35 seats up for grabs next year.

First lady Michelle Obama got the idea to plant a White House kitchen garden before her husband ever made it into the big mansion on Pennsylvania Avenue.
As she writes in "American Grown," her new book about the garden, the idea came to her as she was making dinner for the family in their Chicago home. It was early in the primary race; Barack Obama was still an underdog. But she was thinking ahead to how she — if her husband became president, if "something amazing happened," as she puts it — could focus on an issue very important to her: the food we eat and how it affects our health. From that sprang the idea for the garden.
The book also focuses on community gardens, as Obama describes the White House kitchen garden, across the country from Houston to Seattle to Reading Township, N.J., to Rainbow Beach Park in Chicago — the neighborhood where the first lady grew up. It has been a community garden since a victory garden was planted there during World War II, she writes.
The book details the scant history of White House vegetable gardens, from a kitchen garden that was planted by John Adams but never harvested, as he lost his re-election bid, to Eleanor Roosevelt's victory garden. Despite the many changes to the White House gardens from administration to administration, no one seems to have grown vegetables there since Roosevelt's efforts.
Obama uses her garden (which she'd rather have us think of as the nation's garden) to follow in the footsteps of Roosevelt, who used her victory garden to encourage the idea across the nation. Viewed from that perspective, one wonders why no one thought of this before. Maybe it took the burgeoning farmers market movement with its focus on where our food comes from.
After lots of pages spent on the garden, and how readers can start their own, the book gets to the food and how the produce is used in the White House, and from there to how the reader can do the same at home. In this section, broken into chapters by season, White House executive chef Cris Comerford highlights some ingredients such as, for summer: corn, tomatoes, basil, shell beans, squash, blueberries, eggplant. Then come the recipes from the White House chefs. But only 16 in all.
Those recipes focus on simple, doable dishes that star the fresh vegetables in the least-tampered-with manner — the main point of the book. But most of them, though straightforward, offer a creative little twist: green beans with almonds kissed with paprika; cauliflower mac and cheese; collard greens with a smoked turkey leg, more healthful than fatback or ham hocks.
They sound good enough to make us want more. Maybe the first lady will write a follow-up.
"American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America"
By Michelle Obama; Crown, $30
Corn soup with summer vegetables
Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6
Note: "This versatile soup is the essence of summer," writes White House chef Sam Kass in a headnote to this recipe from "American Grown." The smooth corn soup is transformed with a textural contrast from a garnish of grilled vegetables. Choose the mix yourself to put your own stamp on the dish.
6 ears fresh corn, shucked, silk removed
2 sprigs fresh thyme

College Recognizes Faculty and Staff for Service Milestones
More Than Three-Dozen Faculty and Staff Represent 575 Years of Service to the Institution
September 26, 2013
President Jim Reynolds (back) celebrates with those faculty and staff recognized for longevity milestones from the College's arts area. They are, from the left, Catherine Roma, professor of music; Hal Shunk, professor of art; Elizabeth Haskins, assistant professor of music; Corey Cockerill, assistant professor of communication arts; and Becky Haines, theatre technician and fine arts secretary.
Wilmington College honored more than three-dozen members of its faculty and staff for 575 years of service to the institution at a campus gathering Thursday (Sept. 26) afternoon.
President Jim Reynolds noted how, when he travels throughout the country meeting with alumni, they speak of faculty and staff whose impact literally transformed their lives while they were at WC.
"As our current students will go out into the world, they one day will be mentioning the names of persons in this room — names that are synonymous with their success.
"All of you make a difference in the lives of our students."
Leading the parade of employees recognized for longevity were Becky Haines, who has served WC for 40 years as fine arts secretary and theatre technician, and Elizabeth Haskins, assistant professor of music, who has been on the faculty for 35 years.
Haines' and Haskins' affiliation with Wilmington College even supersedes those numbers, as each is a WC alumnus.
Three employees earned 30-year recognition, including Vinton Prince, professor of history; Mary Ellen Batiuk, a professor of social sciences that started with WC's Project Talent program in the 1980s and later became dean of its corrections program; and Rhonda Burton, assistant to the vice president for academic affairs. Burton also worked with Project Talents and in the financial aid area.
Other recognition included:
25 years of service — Larry Howard, professor of athletic training; Hal Shunk, professor of art; Iris Kelsen, originally dean of the Cincinnati Branches and current vice president for external programs; and Tina Garland, who has advanced from admission counselor to assistant and associate director to her present position as director of admission.
20 years: Edward Agran, professor of history; Catherine Roma, professor of music and former director of the College Chorale and UMOJA Men's Chorus; and Lorie Watts, who started as student accounts manager and is currently associate director of Student One Stop.
15 years: Ron Combs, head coach for cross country and track & field, and intramurals director; James "Trip" Breen, director of aquatics and head swimming coach; Tara Lydy, director of the Center for Service and Civic Engagement, who started as director of the Campus Village and later coordinator of Service Learning; Ken Lydy, associate vice president for student affairs, who originally held the position of Campus Village manager and later director of students activities and associate dean of students.
Also, Mary Burnell, specialist in public relations and Copy Center coordinator, who originally was secretary in student life; Carl Coatney, athletics equipment manager; and Kenna Edwards, switchboard operator and clerk in human relations.
10 years: Lisabeth Bauer, associate professor of education; Michael Goldcamp, associate professor of chemistry; Martha Hendricks, associate professor of education, who recently served as interim associate vice president for academic affairs; Stephen Potthoff, associate professor of religion and philosophy; Jennifer Walker, assistant professor of athletic training.
Also, Ruth Brindle, curator of the Meriam R. Hare Quaker Heritage Center, who originally was an adjunct faculty member in history and later associate director of the Peace Resource Center; Randy Gerber, coordinator of the Barrett Farm; Sylvia Stevens, associate vice president for external programs, who started as director of the Cincinnati State degree completion program; and K.C. Hunt, head basketball coach, who originally served as assistant coach.
Five years: Corey Cockerill, assistant professor of communication arts; Charles Dick, assistant professor of business; Kim Isaac, assistant professor of athletic training; Marlaina Leppert-Wahl, assistant professor of social science; Ursula McTaggert, assistant professor of English; Dan Kasztelan, campus minister; Debra Myrick, enrollment specialist at Blue Ash; Leslie Nichols, assistant to the president; Heath Whittamore, network manager and network/PC support; Cindy Dawson, specialist in accounts payable; and Shari Rolston, administrative secretary in student life.
