Jane Hirschfield et al. - Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here
Join Jane Hirschfield, Persis Karim, José Luis Gutiérrez, Dana Teen Lomax and editor Beau Beausoleil as they read from Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here: Poets & Writers Respond to the March 5, 2007 Bombing of Baghdad's "Street of Booksellers" ($20.00).
On March 5th, 2007, a car bomb was exploded on al-Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad—the historic center of Baghdad bookselling—wounding more than 100 people and killing more than 30. This anthology begins with a historical introduction to al-Mutanabbi Street and includes the writing of Iraqis as well as a wide swath of international poets and writers who were outraged by this attack. Exploring the question "Where does al-MutanabbiStreet start?", the book looks at both communities and nations, seeking to show the commonality between a small street in Baghdad and other individual cultural centers and explain why this attack was an attack on us all. Chapters examine al-Mutanabbi Street as a place for the free exchange of ideas, a place that has long offered its sanctuary to the complete spectrum of Iraqi voices, and a place where the roots of democracy took hold many hundreds of years ago.
Beau Beausoleil is the founder of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition and the author of Concealed in Language. Deema Shehabi is a Pushcart Prize–nominated writer who has contributed to numerous journals, including the Kenyon Review, Literary Imagination, and Poetry Review (London). She is the author of Thirteen Departures from the Moon. They both live in San Francisco.

'Immersive Cocoon,' your glorious, personal 360-degree theater
Imagine if all of your office work, your exercising, movie-going, game-playing and even studying could be done instead inside a 360-degree wonderland of images and sound. That's exactly the aim here — step on inside the Immersive Cocoon.
The work of designer Tino Schaedler and design-and-ad firm NAU, the Immersive Cocoon provides a space for you that's stuffed to the high-tech gills with motion capture cameras, motion-sensing floor panels, 3D surround sound, 360-degrees of interior display space and even air conditioning. The end result is a big ol' ball of whatever you want: you could watch a movie, play a game, work and conference with folks in other cocoons, interact with educational materials and more.
In a world where the Immersive Cocoon actually exists, the designers see it as something that would be rented by folks in public spaces such as airports and malls, and by corporations for work to get done (though, let's be honest, only the upper-ups would get to play around with it, emerging from their big black shell like Darth Vader when underlings pop by).
Schaedler and NAU even put together a slick Immersive Cocoon tribute video to 2001: A Spacy Odyssey. Check it out by clicking this link.

WF2 Recipe: Kickass Ketchup
As a kid, I never liked ketchup, an opinion that wasn't helped by the fact that my brother ate a ketchup-and-peanut-butter sandwich once to gross me out. As an adult, I learned I loved it on fried things — french fries, onion rings, fried pickles — but never, ever, ever on meat. Then I started eating paleo and battered-and-fried things went away. Ketchup was forgotten… until I started thinking about the delicious sauces and dressings that include ketchup as an ingredient. Then I got busy and developed this recipe for Well Fed 2.
Did you know that more than 650 million bottles of Heinz Ketchup are sold around the world each year. But not to you and me, my friends, because most big-name ketchup brands include the always-suspect "natural flavoring," along with xantham gum, corn syrup, and high fructose corn syrup. A whopping 25 percent of ketchup is sugar – unless you make it yourself with this recipe. It really couldn't be easier, and it tastes even better than the bottled stuff on burgers, sweet potato fries, your favorite paleo meatloaf, sauces made with Olive Oil Mayo, and more.
Kickass Ketchup from Well Fed 2
Makes 1 1/2 cups | Prep 10 min | Cook 10 min | Whole30 approved
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/3 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 dried figs (or dates), coarsely chopped
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch ground cloves
pinch ground allspice
1/2 cup water
1. Place tomato paste, 1/3 cup boiling water, vinegar, and figs in a blender or food processor. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to soften the figs, then purée until smooth, scraping down the sides a few times to make sure the figs are incorporated. Set aside.
2. Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add coconut oil and allow it to melt, about 2 minutes. Add dry mustard, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice to pan and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Remove from heat, then add tomato purée to the pan and stir until combined. Return to heat and cook 2-3 minutes, then add remaining 1/2 cup water, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 5 minutes. (The ketchup will thicken as it cools, but if you like it thicker, allow it to cook slightly longer. Want it thinner? Add a bit of water.)
4. Cool the ketchup to room temperature before you eat it. Transfer to a container with a lid and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.

52 Responses to "WF2 Recipe: Kickass Ketchup"
Bought the book and have made the ketchup twice now. I can personally vouch that this recipe is indeed kickass. Thank you Melissa!
Awesome! I'm a ketchup (catsup?) lover. Fries, of any sort, are simply a vehicle for eating ketchup. At least at home I do buy the stuff made with 'sugar', instead of HCFS. Not that there's other unknown tidbits in it, but it is better than most.
However… this looks like a good one.
I have all of these ingredients in my kitchen currently! Huzzah! Make this weekend. Thanks! (So. many. exclamations. Must. counter. with. periods.)
I don't have figs or dates on hand, but I have prunes and raisins. I might try this with one of those as a substitute.
I've never liked ketchup, but I'll give this one a whirl. It sounds much more appetizing than it's corn syrupy companion!
Where can I find a container like the one shown that is BPA free? Looking forward to trying this recipe!
LOVE this recipe. Actually already have it on my list for this week. I actually do 2 weeks of meal planning at a time. Of the 12 meals planned for the next two weeks, 9 of them are from WF or WF2. Your food has taken over my life!! And I couldn't be happier! (In fact, hubby just got back from scuba diving in the Bahamas for 5 days. He enjoyed it, but said the food was no where near the level I'm currently cooking! Thanks, Mel!)
Just would like to know if you have ever tryed smoked mackerel Scottish eggs, I would like to see your version of this dish sometime. Thanks Padraig.
What can I use instead of coconut oil?
Would it be OK to use date sugar? It's nothing but dried dates, wondering how much to use?
I love everything I have made from this book, love burger ideas! Esp the strawberries on top. Also love all the broccoli , egg ideas.i have also made the mayo and tahini dressing and I love it. Made whole 30 fun!
This would make a kickass cocktail sauce with fresh grated horseradish! Dying to try it.
Thanks for the idea! I already make a paleo ketchup that is a cross between several recipes that I've made! Incredible! Savory… and makes the best "pink sauce" ever with my HM Paleo Mayo!I would add fresh lemon juice with the grated Horse Radish….
Thanks – I've been been missing ketchup and finally have found a recipe that looks amazing! So happy there is no sugar in it.
This looks fantastic! Does anyone know how long it "keeps"? I'm a fan of making huge batches of paleo food and freezing… Was wondering if this freezes well? Anyone have any experience with either? Thanks!
In the directions you mention tomato purée, but in the ingredients it is not listed. How much purée do you use in this ketchup recipe. It sounds wonderful and I have missed ketchup since doing the whole 30.
didn't have cloves
made it anyway
love it.
You're my favorite foodie.
I am trying to wean my picky 6 year old off the junk, especially as I feeling amazing on whole30 and I'd like him to be at least mainly (if not totally) paleo. He declared it better than his usual (Heinz) and now thinks I am a kitchen wizard. Tomorrow I try paleo chicken nuggets to go with it so fingers crossed! Thank you xx
Made this last night (used olive oil in place of coconut oil) and it was a major hit. I never ate "regular" tomato sauce when we ate "regular", but this I LOVE!
I love Ketchup! I haven't had it since I started Whole30, but I think now is the time! I have everything that I need to make that except the figs, so I will be adding those to my shopping list for the week!
I cannot believe I completed my first Whole30 without reading ISWF or knowing about your website!!! I purchased ISWF after I completed my Whole30 and discovered you through the book – I have received notice from Amazon that both your cookbooks should be delivered by Monday – Yippee! Today I made your caramelized coconut chips, ranch dressing (I keep your olive oil mayo on hand) and just finished your kickass ketchup! I am in awe of your talents!!!
Hi, I am currently on a no-fruit diet. Figs, dates, raisins, all out :/ I was hoping to maybe just try it without the dates, do you think that would change the texture too much? I am not worried about it not being sweet.
Years ago in my refined-sugar-free baking days, I used to use frozen apple juice concentrate for the little bit of sweet action in things like salad dressing and barbecue sauce. I think one tablespoon of concentrate would give it the sweet/sour ketchup thing without tasting like apple juice.
And of course, apple is a fruit! Sorry about that. Is honey, agave or maple syrup off the table as well?
Help, All I can taste is tomato paste. I know my boys (6, 12 and 15) will know the difference. What could I add?
Today is a Day 1 of my Whole 30. I made this today and it's fabulous! I need to work on my "pinches", I put a little too much. But, it is so delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Could you freeze this recipe to extend its life? We don't use much ketchup but I would like to have better options for when we do. Maybe in ice cube trays for easy portions?
Making it now.

Congress Should Tackle NFL's Tax-Exempt Status
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- We can only assume that, at some point in the not-so-distant future, Congress will restart the government it shut down and get back to something resembling work.
When that happens, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma is going to continue his lonely quest to make sports leagues with revenues in excess of $10 million pay taxes. That includes the National Hockey League, Professional Golfers Association, Association of Tennis Professionals Tour, Women's Tennis Association Tour, U.S. Tennis Association, National Hot Rod Association and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association - all of which exist as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
However, it's the organization written right into that section's language that would be the big catch of Coburn's revenue fishing trip: "501(c)(6) provides for exemption of business leagues, chambers of commerce, real estate boards, boards of trade, and professional football leagues (whether or not administering a pension fund for football players), which are not organized for profit and no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual."
The football league in question is the National Football League and its reported $9.5 billion in revenue from 2012. That exemption makes it possible to take a look at comissioner Roger Goodell's $30 million salary, but also makes it very clear just how difficult it is to keep tabs on the cash coming into the league and how it is being disbursed to teams.That fact isn't lost on Lynda Wooldard, a fan from New Orleans who put together a Change.org petition asking Congress to strip the NFL of its tax-exempt status. More than 210,000 people have signed on. However, Forbes columnist Peter Reilly argues that the NFL's non-profit tax exemption only allows it to operate as a revenue clearhinghouse for its 32 teams and nothing more. He even argues that what keeps the NFL separate from for-profits including Major League Baseball (which gave up its tax-exempt status in 2007) and the National Basketball Association is its "quasi-religious status," tacitly suggesting that it may be worthy of a religious exemption. Coburn, naturally, finds this ludicrous. "Tax earmarks are essentially tax increases for everyone who doesn't receive the benefit," he says in a statement. "In this case, working Americans are paying artificially high rates in order to subsidize special breaks for sports leagues. This is hardly fair."

Bishop Long is a man of tremendous compassion who exemplifies the term "a giver." It is not at all unusual for him to personally extend help to members in need, or to lead the charge in the community to help those less fortunate. For years New Birth has been the largest giver to Hosea Feed the Hungry, outgiving all the major corporations in Atlanta. Driven by a strong call to minister to young boys, Bishop Long started Longfellows, a summer academy that provides a structured, educational environment for boys ages 12 – 16. As long as they hold up their end of the bargain, he upholds his – college tuition. Those are just a few examples of how he not only gives personally but directs corporate giving as well. He is a living example of Loving, Living and Leading like Jesus.
Bishop Long has a lovely wife, Vanessa, who is the epitome of the Proverbs 31 woman. She is the quiet strength in the Long family, raising four children, one of whom is a minister of the gospel. She is an awesome woman of God in her own right and has much to offer the body of Christ. She is an inspiration to many of the women at New Birth as they watch her lovingly and quietly support her husband in every sense of the word.

Linas Kleiza scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, rookie Terrence Ross had 18 points and the Toronto Raptors beat the Dallas Mavericks 95-74 on Friday night, snapping a six-game losing streak.
DeMar DeRozan and Jose Calderon had 14 points each for the Raptors, who had lost 14 of their previous 17 meetings with the Mavericks.
The Raptors had lost 12 of 13 and were again without Andrea Bargnani (right elbow) and Kyle Lowry (right shoulder). But thanks to some impressive long range shooting, that didn't matter.
Kleiza had five 3-pointers, four in the final quarter, as Toronto matched its season high with the 12 3s.
Shawn Marion had 12 points and 13 rebounds for the Mavericks, who lost their second straight and dropped below .500 at 11-12.

Initially, the patient did not want to undergo a digital rectal examination. I was able to convince him after several minutes of explanation. On examination, the painful mass was revealed to be an internal hemorrhoid (originating above the dentate line) that cannot be reduced manually. Therefore, the diagnosis was fourth-degree internal hemorrhoid. Unfortunately, this can become a strangulated hemorrhoid.
What is an internal hemorrhoid?An internal hemorrhoid is located above the dentate line. Most of the time, patients do not complain of pain but when an internal hemorrhoid develops thrombosis or necrosis, it can cause severe pain.
The grading of an internal hemorrhoid is as follows:
- First-degree internal hemorrhoid - bulges into the anal canal. Patients may notice a mass on their anal canal on straining. Hence, it usually becomes apparent when accompanied by constipation.
- Second-degree internal hemorrhoid - prolapses through the anus. Patients can feel it on their anal area. However, a second-degree internal hemorrhoid reduces or goes back spontaneously.
- Third-degree internal hemorrhoid - prolapses through the anus and does not reduce spontaneously. Therefore, patients often relate stories wherein they push back or manually reduce the hemorrhoid into the anal canal.
- Fourth-degree hemorrhoid - at the highest risk of becoming strangulated. It cannot be pushed back or manually reduced. Strangulated hemorrhoids present with severe pain.

- Summary: Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. At the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach, Clayton, a former prosecutor from a family of cops, takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest work. Clayton cleans upMichael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. At the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach, Clayton, a former prosecutor from a family of cops, takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest work. Clayton cleans up clients' messes, handling anything from hit-and-runs and damaging stories in the press to shoplifting wives and crooked politicians. Burned out and discontented in his job, Clayton is inextricably tied to the firm. At the agrochemical company U/North, the career of in-house chief counsel Karen Crowder rests on the settlement of the suit that Kenner, Bach & Ledeen is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. When the firms top litigator, the brilliant Arthur Edens, has an apparent breakdown and tries to sabotage the entire case, Marty Back sends Michael Clayton to tackle this unprecedented disaster and in doing so, Clayton comes face to face with the reality of what he has become.

I don't know what vast significance Michael Clayton has (it involves deadly pollution but isn't a message movie). But I know it is just about perfect as an exercise in the genre.
Michael Clayton is a here's-how-it-happened drama, cleverly but not over-elaborately structured.
Mr. Gilroy hasn't reinvented the legal thriller here, but I doubt that was his intention; at its best and most ambitious, the film plays less like a variation on a Hollywood standard than a reappraisal. It's a modest reappraisal, adult, sincere, intelligent, absorbing; it entertains without shame.
Has a slow build and a strong payoff, but George Clooney is the element that holds it together.
Without the steadfast intelligence of Clooney's performance, Michael Clayton wouldn't work half as well as it does.

Oct 8, 2013Many people have notions of what a 'fixer' may actually do, some see rubber gloves and cleaning up crime scenes, others may see smoothMany people have notions of what a 'fixer' may actually do, some see rubber gloves and cleaning up crime scenes, others may see smooth talking, good looking and suited up individuals who confidently go about their job as a sought after individual. But George Clooney plays a different sort of fixer, his character, Michael Clayton, is realistic in his approach to every part of his job, he isn't a miracle worker, nor does he make every problem disappear because at the end of the day, he simply cleans up the mess, but the bigger the mess, the more complex the clean-up. Clayton himself has problems of his own that he cannot sweep under the rug, while he may look the part, Clooney portrays a character who isn't everything he appears, he owes serious amounts of money to loan sharks after we discover his gambling habit, struggles with financing his life and desperately tries to repair his past mistakes but still creating new ones, all while taking on a big "mess". The law firm he works for is facing a crisis after one of its partners, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) has quite the mental breakdown in the midst of a massive court case which Arthur knows the company his firm is defending are guilty of their crimes, something Michael is desperately trying to amend. It's clear to see why we have the title named after our main character, it is focusing on the life a man leads who feels he has no purpose, a man who is taken for granted and then thrown to the side, something Clooney portrays through many forces and silent stares, while we also see how he tries to balance his life as a dad and a man with a job that he can't really explain to anyone, but he shares the screen with someone else who is confident in her job but masks her demons, lawyer for the big client, a client called UNorth being sued for illegal chemical dumping Karen Crowdor (Tilda Swinton), equally as cunning and potentially dangerous as Clayton. It's films like this where we look to the talent involved to realise they are the driving force of the film, the tension and chemistry they create while also taking from a sharp and smartly written piece from director and writer Tony Gilroy, who cleverly takes a sombre approach to have this business thriller being much more than it seems, there isn't realty an inspiring touch to leave you flabbergasted, but more about style and the performances, it focuses solely on the consequences of actions as we have many guilt-ridden characters with too much power on their hands. As mentioned, the performances are the standout moments of this film, Clooney proves his stability and grit while Swinton also shoes her worth as the sort of Yin to Clooney's Yang. It's a smart and complex film that stays intriguing thanks to its strong cast and compelling story.… Expand

This had great potential to be an outstanding oil-absorbing foundation with a long-lasting matte finish for very oily skin. The main problem is the lack of sufficient UVA protection and an SPF rating too low for adequate daytime protection (at least if you're concerned with following sunscreen guidelines from almost every major dermatologic association). The silicone-based texture dispenses from its tube nearly as thick as toothpaste; however, the texture quickly softens as it warms on your skin, and leaves it feeling incredibly silky with a powdery finish. It feels nearly weightless, but the finish will grossly exaggerate even a slight hint of dry skin or flaking. There are 12 shades, which is more than most of YSL's other foundations offer. All blend out softer and more neutral than they first appear, but there are definitely some colors to avoid, including #3, #10, and #11. Shade #6 is slightly peach, but may work for some medium skin tones. I wish all the elements were in place to make this a slam-dunk recommendation for very oily, acne-prone skin. As is, this unique foundation has enough drawbacks for it to not deserve better than an average rating.
We have never reviewed an expensive cosmetics line with the intent of criticizing it based on the price tags alone. Our standard for reviewing all cosmetics remains the same whether the prices are rock bottom or stratospheric. What cannot be denied is that there are many consumers who just refuse to give up the notion that, in terms of cosmetics, expensive means better. If you're one of those consumers you may have been curious about our take on Yves Saint Laurent's makeup, which by far outshines their skin care.
In the past, as we surveyed the other French-themed lines at the department store (including Lancome, Chanel, Dior, and Guerlain), YSL almost always came in last, barely stepping up to the plate to compete in any category. Lately, we've been pleasantly surprised to find several impressive products, along with some needed improvements for many of their previously lackluster options (whose price-to-performance ratio was depressingly low). YSL still isn't the French line to set your sights on and fill your makeup bag with, but there are enough positives to make a trip to their counter worthwhile, assuming that your budget extends far enough to comfortably afford these items. (Even the best products from this line have less-expensive counterparts, but if you're label-conscious, you should know what to focus on.)
What's not so great is the lack of sufficient UVA protection in products with sunscreen, or SPF ratings that are too low given what we know about the need for a sufficient level of daily sun protection. Adding sunscreen to many of the foundations and lip products was a smart move, but doing so without getting the basics right doesn't get a passing grade. Most of the mascaras are surprisingly average also, yet on the other hand the foundation and powder shade selections have improved considerably. It's this off-kilter blend of outstanding and boring products coupled with steep prices all around that earn this line an "approach with caution" statement. However, careful shopping from YSL will undoubtedly net you some wonderful products you'll be pleased with, at least until the credit card bill comes due!
When it comes to skin care, Yves Saint Laurent relies heavily on its fashion heritage to convince consumers to give these products more than a passing glance. Based on the formulas and outlandish prices, we see no reason for anyone to admire, let alone purchase, most of the skin-care products this brand sells. The claims are nothing short of ridiculous, especially for any YSL product designed to minimize wrinkles or stop sagging. It's good that all of the sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection, but the cost means you'll be replacing them quickly (if you're being diligent about liberal application, as you should be) and, of course, all of them contain wafting fragrance. The moisturizers are much less impressive, but carry some of the most too-good-to-be-true claims imaginable. None of what they're said to do in terms of wrinkles, skin regeneration, firming, and sculpting skin is the least bit reliable, though many of the moisturizers have luxurious textures.
What's missing is a focused approach to provide skin with what it really needs to thrive and remain healthy. Some of the basics are covered, but antioxidants are seemingly an afterthought, water-binding agents and skin-identical substances are mostly lacking, and once again fragrance takes precedence over advanced ingredients with substantiated research to support their use. If your skin-care routine must involve a designer brand, you'd be better off shopping Chanel and only considering YSL for the makeup products they have that, cost notwithstanding, are worthy of the attention they get in, where else, fashion magazines.

Cockburn Porto Vintage Quinta Dos Canais
Sku: 1429697
1 day lead-time required to confirm availability Why?
Single quinta vintage ports are relative newcomers to the world of port, dating back to the early 1980s. Created from a single vineyard property (or quinta), they are usually produced during undeclared years. The port house may deem that wine from a particular estate is of exceptional depth and character, due to site, micro-climate, etc., then a single quinta wine bearing a vintage date may be released. A single quinta wine provides consumers a vintage-style wine derived from a good but undeclared year.

|Colon Soothe
"A drawing and detoxifying formula for the entire intestinal tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. Very soothing and healing for colitis, ulcers, and other types of diarrhea (inflammatory, infectious or autoimmune). Mucilaginous herbs soften intestinal contents and help support the body's healthy regeneration of the lining of the GI tract. Used as a drawing poultice on the skin, it can help draw out toxins from boils, abscesses, etc.
This formula has saved many colons from the surgeon's knife. Severe cases may take up to 2 months of continuous use before complete results are seen, although some improvement is usually noticed right away. Formerly known as the Eliminator II Formula. This formula is identical to Colon Detox Caps and one can substitute for the other. Great bargain. Formulas of this type usually retail for $24.

Bladder catheterization, male
Catheterization is accomplished by inserting a catheter (a hollow tube, often with an inflatable balloon tip) into the urinary bladder. This procedure is performed for urinary obstruction, following surgical procedures to the urethra, in unconscious patients (due to surgical anesthesia and coma), or for any other problem in which the bladder needs to be kept empty (decompressed) and urinary flow assured. Catheterization in males is slightly more difficult and uncomfortable than in females because of the longer male urethra.

Whether it is a policy regarding internships, student complaints, and payment policies - the information pertaining to affairs dealing with students can be found here.
Degrees with Distinction: The degree of bachelor of arts with honors, bachelor of architecture, bachelor of music or bachelor of music education is awarded with merit in three grades: with distinction, cum laude; with high distinction, magna cum laude; with highest distinction, summa cum laude.
The three primary goals of Drury's internship program are:
(1) to help the student clarify educational and career objectives;
(2) to expand the student's understanding of classroom theory by applying their training in some practical way; and
(3) to introduce the student to the world of work in terms of responsibilities and employer-employee relationships.
In addition to completing the on-site internship, the student may be asked to complete additional coursework as assigned by the faculty sponsor.
Juniors and seniors with a 2.5 or better grade point average are eligible to complete internships for credit. Students must have completed coursework appropriate for the internship experience and must be able to demonstrate potential benefit from an internship plan. The student is required to fill out a Permission to Register for Special Coursework form, an Internship Agreement and an Internship Learning Contract. The Learning Contract must be completed and signed by the site supervisor, student and faculty sponsor. The Permission to Register for Special Coursework form must be signed by the advisor, faculty sponsor, department chair and a Career Planning and Development staff member.
All completed paperwork must be submitted to Career Planning and Development prior to the beginning of the work experience and before the deadline to add a class or register for credit. Credit will not be granted retroactively. Evaluation will be performed by the faculty sponsor in consultation with the on-site supervisor and grading will be on a Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory basis.
In order to receive credit for the internship, the student must be registered for coursework (course numbers 380, 397, 398, 480, 497, 498). Each course carries three or six semester hours credit and it is recommended that not more than six hours of internship apply toward the baccalaureate degree. Internships cannot be undertaken without all approvals being given and formal arrangements having been made. Student interns must work at least 135 hours during the semester in which they are receiving credit for each three hours of academic credit.
All students pursuing a B.B.A. degree with a major in accounting, economics, finance, management or marketing are required to complete a 150 hour internship and must register for ACCT 480 or MGMT 480 Professional Business Experience to receive three hours of academic credit. Internship information is available in Career Planning and Development.
All tuition and fees are due and payable the first day of classes. Semester statements covering tuition and fees are available online through MyDrury. If you need a paper statement mailed, please email email@example.com.
No student will be officially registered unless payment or satisfactory deferred payment arrangements have been made by the first day of the semester. Student account balances that become past due will result in notification from the Director of Business Services for official withdrawal from classes.
Students with a prior semester balance will not be permitted to register for subsequent semesters. All delinquent accounts will be assessed interest at one percent per month on the unpaid balance, or 12 percent per annum. Any collection costs (up to 60% charged) or legal fees incurred in collecting an account will be the responsibility of the student.
Students who have failed to comply with payment policies in any semester may be denied the opportunity to register for future semesters and may be denied the opportunity to participate in the University deferred payment plan.
Students should become familiar with the Drury University deferred payment plan and our withdrawal refund policy. All questions or requests should be addressed to
Accounts Receivable Coordinator
Burnham Hall
Drury University
900 N Benton Ave
Springfield, MO 65802
or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Deferred Payment Policy
It is the intention of Drury University to provide the means for students to pay tuition and fees over time. Drury University has partnered with Nelnet Business Solutions to make the payment plan process easier for students and their families. When you sign up for the payment plan determines how many months you have to pay off your account balance. Please contact Student Financial Services for details on payment methods and dates.
A new Payment Plan agreement must be completed for each semester in which you register. If you change your registration, please DO NOT create a second payment plan. Your payment plan will adjust based on your registration.
Availability of the Payment Plan is determined by Drury University. The University may elect to not have the Payment Plan available during specific times and dates during registration. There is no payment plan available during the summer terms. Plan Available dates are subject to change.
Any balance not covered by an approved payment plan will be assessed interest at one percent per month on the unpaid balance, or 12 percent per annum. Any collection cost or legal fees incurred in collecting an account will be the responsibility of the student.
Official Withdrawal/Refund Policy
Students who withdraw from courses will be allowed a refund of tuition according to the schedule below. All refunds are calculated from the date the application for withdrawal is filed with the registrar. No other notice will suffice. Nonattendance of classes does not constitute official withdrawal. Applicable refunds for students receiving federal and/or state financial aid will be calculated in reference to the student's date of notification of withdrawal, last date of academic attendance or the midpoint of the period.
The responsibility for initiating and completing the withdrawal process with appropriate university offices rests with the student. The first day of classes constitutes the beginning of the semester for tuition refund purposes. For courses that are scheduled out of sequence of the regular fall, winter, spring and summer semesters, the day published as the first day of the semester or term constitutes the beginning of the course for tuition refund purposes.
|Refunds/ Day of Semester or Term
|Full Summer
|5 Weeks Summer
|Prior to first day
|During first 5 days
|During second 5 days
If a student has an unpaid account with the university, any tuition refund due from withdrawal will be applied to such unpaid accounts.
Each year the university publishes a calendar guide for institutional refunds and complies with the Return of Title IV Funds policy for federal programs. Students should become familiar with the guide each semester or term, and must remember that credit courses that are less than a regular term in duration follow the refund schedule for the full semester or term in which they are taught, regardless of the start date of instruction. The refund policy for noncredit conferences, institutes, seminars and community services courses is a 100 percent refund if the official withdrawal occurs prior to the first day of instruction.
Residential Plan Refund Policy
Refunds generally are not granted after signing the annual room contract. Appeals to the no-refund policy should be directed to the vice president for student affairs. Students who exempt off campus mid-semester and receive pro-rated room rates are required to pay for the semester's meal plan in full. It will remain in effect for the remainder of the semester, as long as the student is enrolled.
Drury University complies with all applicable laws relating to personal privacy, including the
Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974. The act was designated to protect the privacy of education records and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through formal and informal hearings. Annually, Drury University informs students of their rights relating to FERPA (20 U.S.C. Sections 1232g; and implementing, 34 C.F.R. Section 99.1 et seq). Students have the right to file a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office, Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue. S.W., Washington, D.C. 20202, concerning this institution's alleged failure to comply with FERPA.
The university has designated certain information contained in the education records of its students as directory information for purposes of the FERPA.
The following information regarding students is considered directory information:
Indications of religious preference along with name, addresses and telephone number of student's listing in the information are provided to the University Chaplain.
Directory information may be disclosed by this institution for any purpose in its discretion, without the consent of a student. Students have a right, however, to refuse to permit the designation of any or all of the above information as directory information. In that case, this information will not be disclosed except with the consent of a student, or as otherwise allowed by FERPA.
Any student refusing to have any or all of the designated directory information disclosed must file written notification to this effect to the dean of student services during regular business hours. The written notification does not apply retroactively to previous releases of directory information (e.g., once the Student Directory has been published, the directory information contained therein will remain). To prevent publication of directory information in the student Directory, written notification must be filed no later than the second week of classes during the fall semester.
If no refusal is filed, this institution assumes that a student does not object to the release of the directory information designated. Questions or inquiries should be addressed to the registrar's office.

RELEASED: March 31, 2011
EAU CLAIRE —"Fantastic Mr. Fox" — "an adventure in pure imagination that plays to the smart kid in all of us" (Rolling Stone) — will be presented April 7-10 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The University Activities Commission of the Student Senate will present the 2009 animated film at 6 and 8:30 p.m. in Davies Theatre.
A special Faculty Film Night will begin the series of screenings Thursday, with a discussion hosted by Dr. Blake Westerlund of the UW-Eau Claire English department.
"The experience of 'Fantastic Mr. Fox,' Wes Anderson's stop-motion adaptation of the Roald Dahl book for young readers, is like being magically shrunk down to 1:12 scale and set loose for 90 minutes in an exquisite, handcrafted, dizzyingly well-stocked dollhouse," wrote Slate. "You don't want to watch this movie, you want to climb inside it and play."
Mr. and Mrs. Fox (voiced by George Clooney and Meryl Streep) live an idyllic life with their son, Ash, and their visiting young nephew, Kristopherson. But after 12 years, Mr. Fox's wild-animal instincts make a comeback and compel him to slip back into his old ways as a chicken thief. His doing so endangers not only his beloved family but the whole animal community. Trapped underground without enough food to go around, the animals band together to fight the evil farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean, who are determined to capture Mr. Fox at any cost.
The 87-minute film is rated PG. Admission is free at the door with a Blugold Card or International Film Society membership. Community members may purchase an annual IFS membership at the Service Center (715-836-3727) in Davies Center's east lobby.
Westerlund, interim coordinator of the University Writing Center, will introduce the 6 p.m. screening April 7. After the film he will host a discussion titled "Fantastic Mr. Fox: Sly Cinematic Myth and Resistance" in the Badger Room of Davies Center. The discussion will explore how mythic structures resonate in the film and focus on how the Fox family and their animal neighbors rally against capitalist greed. The special Faculty Film Night presentation is free and open to all. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
More information about the campus film series is available online and at the Activities and Programs office in Davies Center 133.

RICHLAND, Wash. – An Australian coal company has asked for more time to answer questions from the State of Oregon about its plans for a coal port in Boardman.
Ambre Energy hopes to move coal from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana to Asia through a facility at the Columbia River Port of Morrow in Boardman.
It needs a permit from the Oregon Department of State Lands to build a dock there. The state has asked the company additional questions about tribal fishing rights, water quality and the need to export coal.
In letters, the state suggested it would deny the project's permit if more information was not provided. Now, Ambre has asked for a five-month extension to provide answers, though they feel sufficient information had been delivered previously.
Liz Fuller is the company's spokeswoman. She said other dock permits were not scrutinized so thoroughly.
"We really want to be treated like any other commodity and like any other dock. And that's, obviously, that's really important to the project," Fuller said.
Ambre Energy has aimed to be the first company in the Pacific Northwest to export coal to Asia, with the Morrow Pacific Project. Fuller says this delay will not slow the project's timeline. The state says it will issue a decision on Sept. 1.

Montego Bay Travel Guide
Montego Bay Local History
Jamaica' name is derived from Xamayca, meaning land of wood and water, where the Arawaks from South America had settled around 1,000AD. Spain began occupation in 1509, naming the island Santiago after which, British forces seized the island in 1655. The British gained formal possession through the Treaty of Madrid in 1670.
Sugar and slavery were two of the most valuable commodities that Jamaica had for more than 150 years. The maroons, (escaped slaves) established independent communities in the mountainous interior where British were unable to defeat them.
The island of Jamaica was once an important base for pirates, specifically at Port Royal before it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1692. A new capital Spanish Town was chosen in the south, and later moved to nearby Kingston.

|Sun, 10-07-2012 - 11:55am
I am stuk up and dont know where to go all alone.I was brought up by an aunt who tortured and abused me badly,in my twenties realised so got married to the first guy i met in my life.He was cheating behind my back but kept me happy and loved me so that i never complain or doubt.When i grew tired of his cheating and caught him one day ,he ran away with that woman who was working with him in the organisation
Half time he stays with me and half time with the other woman .whenever i talk about affair and to stop it ,he says hes tryin his best for last 8 years.he has never gone on holiday even for a day for last 8 years ,just kept me and give enough money to survive .
Is there any hope of this marriage coming back to life?he is in different country and gives only visit visa and not giving permanent one because that woman is working with him now .
Whenever i tell him that why you not giving visa and hiding me from all his people ,only my in laws and his parents side he meets with me .in front of his friends hes not standing with me at all .
he says if he wanted to divorce ,why will he keep giving money to me and give temporary visa to be with him at times .i have been coming to his country but he doesnt stay with me .he has kept me in some hotel and hes staying with that woman .
if i divorce ,where should i go ..?no family ,no relatives,no job but have enough money to survive without job .so am staying in hotel for last three months and waiting for god to help me .
is there any way of breaking his affair?
|Sun, 10-07-2012 - 9:53pm
I think it's pretty clear that he's not going to end the affair unless the woman decides to end it--the fact that he won't do the paperwork for you to immigrate to his country shows that he doesn't really want you around. I would think about what to do so you could survive w/o him--are you in his country now? Is it the US? If you go back to your home country could you find a job?

House to tackle health care dilemmaBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | December 31,2012MONTPELIER The 11 members of the House Committee on Health Care will dedicate much of the 2013 legislative session to solving a fiscal dilemma that threatens to spike insurance costs for nearly 20,000 Vermonters.
Rep. Mike Fisher, a Lincoln Democrat and chairman of the health care committee, said he has grave concerns about the increased out-of-pocket expenses awaiting some lower-income residents beginning in January 2014. The potential jumps in premiums and deductibles will affect a portion of Vermonters now receiving subsidized coverage in two state-sponsored programs, called VHAP and Catamount Health.
Its an issue thats of concern to a lot of members, and its going to be a big focus of ours, Fisher said.
The cost increases are related to the health benefits exchange, a federally mandated online marketplace designed to improve access to insurance by lowering costs.
But the implementation of the exchange will also usher in the end of VHAP and Catamount. And since federal assistance in the exchange wont be nearly as robust as whats available in the state programs, more than 17,000 residents enrolled in VHAP or Catamount Health are expected to see potentially dramatic increases in their out-of-pocket health care costs.
We need to look first at what is the impact and then at what are our options, Fisher said.
Administration officials say it could cost as much as $18 million to hold harmless every Vermonter facing higher health care costs under the exchange. While Gov. Peter Shumlin says his budget proposal next month will deflect at least some of the impact on poor and working-class residents, he has said the state cant afford to eliminate it entirely.
Fisher said his committee will begin wrestling in January with many of the same questions the Shumlin administration is grappling with now.
Well have to look at whether there is the potential for doing an additional state subsidy, Fisher said. And if there is money to do it, where would it be best focused?
Fisher said his committee also will continue its long-running work on payment reform, with a specific focus on accountable care organizations.
An ACO is a network of health care providers who agree to care for a certain number of patients over a set period of time for a fixed cost. If costs incurred by the patients are less than what was agreed upon, then the providers keep the difference. If costs exceed the threshold, then providers take a loss on the deal.
It challenges providers to take some responsibility, Fisher said. In the past, the risk has always been on the insurer side. By having providers share some of that risk, you give them a positive stake in the cost containment were trying to achieve.
Fisher said the ACO concept, created by the federal government, might require some legislative oversight.
I really want it to work, Fisher said. And if we have multiple ACOs fighting over the same lives, thats not productive. It needs to happen in a way that is predictable and works for providers and for patients.
Downstairs in the Senate, Fishers counterparts on the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare will have their hands full with mental health.
In the wake of the closure of the Vermont State Hospital in 2011, lawmakers last year passed legislation overhauling the mental health system. But Sen. Claire Ayer, Democratic chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare, said the job is far from done.
We made a lot of assumptions about where its best to get care and who should be delivering it, and we need to check in and make sure those assumptions were correct, Ayer said.
She said the Legislature must also contend with revenue issues that might complicate the plan, notably the news that the hospitals replacement wont be eligible for 90 percent federal reimbursement.
Ayer said she also plans to devote committee time to the continued problems at Adult Protective Services, a state division whose alleged failure to protect its elderly clients resulted in a high-profile lawsuit. Shumlin last spring vetoed a bill that would have required the administration to provide a report on the programs deficiencies. In the absence of that report, Ayer said, her committee will have to do its own legwork.
The Senate Committee on Health and Welfare may also host hearings on a controversial bill that would allow doctors to prescribe some terminally ill patients a lethal dose of medication. Ayer said she likes the idea of holding joint public hearings on the bill which supporters call death with dignity with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
