We will provide a timeline that will allow all of you to have the various forms and processes completed prior to Orientation to allow that week to be a time when you can get to know one another, our school, and our curriculum. The instructions for completing and submitting each form will be outlined. There will be a few sections: Admissions; Student Affairs; Financial Aid.
Official Transcripts are due to the Office of Student Affairs and Admissions by July 1, 2014.
Official copies should be sent from undergraduate schools to:

Health Insurance 2014-2015
Health insurance is required for all students attending Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. A detailed email was sent on 6-20-14.
The new federal healthcare laws also requires parents' health care policies to provide coverage for dependents up to age 26, therefore we encourage our students to investigate that possibility as an alternative to the student health insurance. Students should also explore their eligibility for public health benefits before deciding whether or not to waive out of the student insurance program.
The cost for the new CMSRU student health insurance Platinum Plan with United Healthcare PPO for the upcoming 2014-2015 academic year is $1,695.00, effective from August 1, 2014 to July 31, 2015. The premium is billed 100% on your fall term student bill in addition to fall term tuition and fees.
We are going green (removing the request for students to submit paper enrollment/waive forms) for student health insurance; therefore, you must log onto www.firststudent.com to waive or enroll by July 1, 2014. Select Rowan University-Cooper Medical School.
The "Enroll Now-Health Insurance" or "Waive Your School's Health Insurance" hyperlinks are located on the tool bar on the left side of the screen. If you have already submitted a health insurance enrollment or waive form, please know that you must complete the waive or enroll online/electronic process instead, as not doing so will affect your fall term bill and refund check amount (if applicable).
PLEASE NOTE: Students will automatically be enrolled and charged the health insurance premium cost if the CMSRU Waiver Form is not submitted by July 1, 2014.
NOTE: Students who waive health insurance cannot enroll in the plan at any other time during the 2014-2015 academic year UNLESS they have a life status change. Please email Heidi Ashton at firstname.lastname@example.com or call Heidi Ashton @ 267- 880-2300 directly with questions regarding life status changes.
Health insurance enrollment is an online process and must be completed annually by EVERY student. Whether you are selecting the school-sponsored plan or are requesting to waive, your decision must be made by July 1, 2014.
We are able to offer you supplemental vision and dental opt-in insurance coverage for 2014-2015. Please note that the vision and dental premium rates are not included on your student bill. Vision coverage (student only) premium cost-$159.00 and Dental coverage (student only) premium cost-$319.00. You must enroll and pay for the supplemental vision and dental coverage via the www.firststudent.com website.
NOTE: If you have specific questions regarding the insurance plans, please contact Heidi Ashton email@example.com or call Heidi Ashton @ 267- 880-2300.
Disability Insurance
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has mandated that all medical students carry disability insurance. We have arranged this through American Medical Association (AMA) Med Plus Advantage at a cost of $48 for the 2014-2015 academic year. This is also part of Student Fees.
Student Assistance Program (SAP)
Cooper Medical School has developed a comprehensive program of support for our students. The annual charge for SAP was $38 this year and will be included in Student Fees. Any change in this fee will be posted.
Immunization Record (IR)

Initial Health Evaluation (HP)
This will need to be completed by your care provider and sent to us prior to 8/1/14. Please mail, email (email@example.com) or fax (856-361-2828) the form to us using your last name and HR (Smith.HP) if emailed.Much of the information you can provide but it will need to be completed and signed by the health provider. All information will be stored confidentially and all HIPPA rules will be followed.
Student Parking 2014-2015
There will be two options for parking:
CCIA Parking Garage (across the street from CMSRU in the Cooper University Hospital (CUH) parking garage):
The student parking costs with the CCIA Parking Garage for the upcoming 2014-2015 academic year are $1,918.40 (about $159 per month) inclusive from August 1, 2014 to July 31, 2015.

Star Trek Stockings for All the Good Federation Girls and Boys
Not only is this one of the more creative Christmas projects we've seen around here, it's one of the cheapest–something that may very well appeal to those of us saving up for new (electronic!) toys. Also? It's hard to argue with Star Trek.
Thanks to the use of a free pattern, Craftster forum member Ilia was able to complete these two rockin' Federation stockings for less than five bucks. It's even harder to argue with results like that than it is to argue with Star Trek.
However, as one other member commented… red shirt stockings just don't seem destined for good gifts. Watch and make sure that one doesn't end up in the fireplace or something.

I think i am going to make a pac man stocking, red stocking with about 30 little pac men all over it.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Keep in mind when ordering these that not everyone you invite will attend- we ended up with a couple dozen left over! We did put some of the extras to use, though, by cutting off the flowers in the corner and using them to decorate other things."
"These place cards are great! Very simple chic, I'm glad we went with the white shimmer paper it added a little extra glam."
"I went with the matte paper. The combination of the white paper and purple flowers looks amazing. The floral design is exactly as it appears in the picture. Although it looks small it gives a simple elegance to the card. I didn't print our names or the date of our wedding on the cards (I did keep the line to write the number) to ensure that the person writing our guests' names would have plenty if space. Even if you add some script on the top there's enough room to for most names. For the money these cards are very nice. I'm glad I ordered them."
"Ordering was easy. My notes about what to print were followed precisely. I wish the print had been a tiny bit bigger, but they came exactly as pictured. I just forgot how small place cards are!"
"I was very happy with my place cards received. The paper stock was really nice and the design, color, and text print quality was excellent. Overall the product was beautiful and elegant. I will definitely order with Wedding Paper Divas again for upcoming occasions and highly recommend them for high quality specialty stationary at a down-to-earth price."

The Hebrew word olam is used to describe a period of time in the Bible. Strong's Concordance defines olam as concealed, which develops the idea that an olam is an indefinite period of time (the amount of time may not always be clearly specified, thus it is concealed). Here is a simple example of the usage of the word olam in the Old Testament. Joshua describes the period of time that their ancestors lived and served other gods before Abraham packed up and left for the promised land as an olam (Joshua 24:2; KJV translates olam as "old times"). The confusion begins when the KJV translators force the concept of "everlasting" into the Hebrew olam. Take for instance Exodus 21:6 and Deuteronomy 15:17. These two passages speak of a bondservant who has chosen to not leave his/her master. The servant becomes a bondservant for an olam or until they die. The amount of time is concealed because no one but God knows how long the servant will live. The KJV translates olam here as "for ever". According to the KJV the servant is a servant throughout eternity! Another example is Jonah 2:6. Jonah is speaking of the time, or olam, he spent in the whale which we know was 3 days and 3 nights. The KJV translates olam here "for ever"! Which is it, 3 days and 3 nights or for ever? Be careful how you answer this question because Christ Himself attested that Jonah was only in the whale 3 days and 3 nights (Matthew 12:40), not "for ever". 9 times in Exodus, 18 times in Leviticus and 9 times in Numbers, the Law and its statues are described as an "everlasting" or "perpetual" covenant in the KJV. The word they translate "everlasting" and "perpetual" is the Hebrew word olam. We all know that this cannot be true for Christ came and fulfilled the Law's demands in His flesh which was done away with through His death on the cross, giving way for the new covenant! How can the old covenant be "everlasting" if it has been done away with through Christ? The old covenant was for an indefinite period of time, for the purpose of exposing sin (Romans 3:19, 20; 5:20; Galatians 3:24), and when this purpose is accomplished, it is done away with. It is the KJV that wants you to believe that the Bible speaks of "everlasting", when in reality the Bible speaks mostly of what will happen during the existence of time. We are told very little of what happened before time began (i.e. 2 Timothy 1:9) and very little of what happens after time as we know it ends (i.e. 1 Corinthians 15:22-28; that God will be All in all). Many will object to this because of such passages as Psalm 106:1 which states, speaking of the Lord, "His mercy endures for ever". They will accuse me of saying that there are limits to God's mercy if olam is not translated "for ever". To state that God's mercy will endure throughout an indefinite period of time does not take away from God's mercy before time existed or God's mercy which will extend beyond the end of time. The KJV translators used at least 16 different English words and/or phrases to translate the Hebrew word olam. They could not consistently translate olam "eternal" or "everlasting" or "for ever" in many passages because the passages speak of things that clearly are not eternal, so they instead translated it "ancient" or "old times" or "of old". How can one word be translated as "everlasting" (having no beginning and no end) but in other contexts be translated a period of time which has a distinct beginning and an ending? There are Bible translators who have strived to consistently translate the Hebrew word olam, such as Robert Young, Rotherham, and the translators of the Concordant Version of the Old Testament. Taking the theology of "everlasting" out of the picture clears up much confusion. Don't take my word for! The experts have done the work for us by studying the ancient Greek and Hebrew of the Bible and formulating concordances. It is not as hard as it may seem. Seek God's truth through the original language used, instead of only through translators who were influenced or even coerced by the overriding theology of their time.

By LARRY VAUGHT
When she verbally committed to Kentucky before the start of her junior season, Bell County standout Maci Morris knew she would be in for extra scrutiny wherever she played.
"It has been exciting personally for me. Playing the games has not been much different. Being a commit, I know people are going to be out to stop me because they think she is a commit and I will show her she is not that good. It motivates me to play that much harder and make my team better and push them so we can win games," said Morris. "My teammates are really excited for me and proud of me, so that helps. I love them to death and they are so enthusiastic about my play and success."
Morris, who has started for Bell County since she was a seventh-grader, says she always feels a "little pressure as the go-to person" on her team.
"Being a commit is not any more pressure on me because I am used to having pressure all my life. It is not really any different to deal with pressure every game," she said.
Morris — a 6-foot prospect — visited UK several times and coach Matthew Mitchell had recruited her for over two years. He was at all of Morris' AAU games with the Kentucky Premier squad over the summer. Premier is the same program that current UK freshmen Makayla Epps and Kyvin Goodin-Rogers played for.
Last season, she averaged 21 points and 8.5 rebounds and led Bell to the 13th Region title game where she had 27 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to Corbin. She averaged 16 points per game in the eighth grade and averaged 19.9 points and 8.5 rebounds for the Lady Cats her sophomore season.
"She still has room for improvement but her work ethic is really good," Bell coach David Teague said. "She works hard and she knows she has to keep working to continue to get better."
She's ranked as a top 50 player in the 2015 recruiting class and is averaging 26 points and 11 rebounds per game this season and shooting over 50 percent from the field.
"I think Maci is one of the best players in the state. She is very poised and is not easily rattled," Boyle County coach Greg Edwards said after his team beat Bell even though Morris had 28 points. "She plays within the structure of what her team is trying to accomplish, but also is not afraid to take over the game when she needs to.
"I think she will be a very good player for coach Mitchell. Kentucky plays an uptempo game that features a lot of open court offense. Maci can create off the dribble and she is an accurate shooter. When she gets to Kentucky where they can work on her conditioning and strength she will definitely be an asset."
Mercer County coach Chris Souder, who coached the Kentucky all-star team last year that included Epps, watched Morris score 31 points in a win over his team.
"Obviously Maci is a very talented young lady," Souder said. "She definitely looks like a student of the game. She is one of those girls that looks like she is not playing hard but she really is, she is just really smooth. She has great composure. She realizes that everyone is watching and evaluating her and she really seems to take that in stride. She really understands the game and realizes what she means to her team."
Bell plays a fast-pace style much like what Kentucky uses. Morris does a little bit of everything for Bell, a team lacking size, on both ends.
"We have always been more guard oriented because we don't have that much size and we have to play fast," Morris said. "Coach Mitchell loves the run and jump, so it will help me when I get there."
Souder thinks she will fit well into Kentucky's program.
"She is a student of the game, so she has the ability to adapt to different styles.She also plays AAU (Kentucky Premier) and they play at a very high level of competition and, from what I hear, she really excels. I don't think she will have any problems fitting in at Kentucky," Souder said. "I think her biggest area of growth will be physical strength.
"To play at that high level she will have to have her body transformed. It will help her with her quickness and explosiveness as well. Once she gets stronger and her body catches up with her mind, she will be special in my opinion."
She's always been around basketball because her father, Lewis, a former multi-sport high school star in eastern Kentucky, coached. He's the head coach of the Bell boys team now and played at East Tennessee State and Cumberland College. Her mother, Patti, is from Harlan County and played basketball at Transylvania. She's also been a coach.
"Since I was born, I was just kind of raised in the gym (she was playing on the middle school team when she was in the second grade) and I have always been around basketball. My family is a basketball family," she said. "My main hand is my right hand, but my dad pushes me to work on my left hand more so I will be harder to guard.
"Just being raised in a basketball family, my IQ has got a lot better. My dad has helped me with that. I just know the game real well. I can play any position in high school and that helps. I like driving. Pulling up for a jump shot is probably my favorite, but i Like shooting 3's, too."
And what does she need to improve?
"Ballhandling and defense especially," Morris said.
The Bell junior watches Kentucky play a lot.
"They are doing great. I am really proud of them," Morris said. "Coach Mitchell is doing such a great job with them and they play so hard. That inspires me. I have been around him for a while now and he's always been a great guy with a lot of energy and that stands out to me and I knew I would love to play for a coach who is so enthusiastic about his players and the program. The players are really close and always joking around. They are really close on the court, too, and have really good chemistry together and you can really tell that when they play together like they and how hard they play for coach Mitchell."
Mitchell's in-home visit that prompted Morris to commit to UK before he left has become legendary after Morris' father said the UK coach ate 18 deviled eggs while he was at their Bell County home.
"He had a lot of eggs and my mom actually made him a to-go box of deviled eggs to take home," the Bell star said. "She will probably have to bring him some every once in a while at Kentucky, too, because he really liked them.
Morris, who was being recruited by Louisville and several other Division I schools, committed to UK without visiting other colleges.
"I have always just been a huge fan of Kentucky and grew up dreaming of playing there. I just loved coach Mitchell and the coaching staff and the players are all fun to be around and so nice. I just thought it was nice fit for me," she said. "I grew up a men's basketball fan, but as I got older I turned into more of a Kentucky women's fan and now it is about even. My parents are huge UK fans, too.
"Most people in Bell County are Kentucky fans. There are a few Tennessee fans, but they don't really speak out unless it is football season. So my decision to go to UK was pretty popular."

The Catholic Church, both in her praxis and in her solemn documents, holds that the communion of the particular Churches with the Church of Rome, and of their Bishops with the Bishop of Rome, is—in God's plan—an essential requisite of full and visible communion. Indeed full communion, of which the Eucharist is the highest sacramental manifestation, needs to be visibly expressed in a ministry in which all the Bishops recognize that they are united in Christ and all the faithful find confirmation for their faith. The first part of the Acts of the Apostles presents Peter as the one who speaks in the name of the apostolic group and who serves the unity of the community—all the while respecting the authority of James, the head of the Church in Jerusalem. This function of Peter must continue in the Church so that under her sole Head, who is Jesus Christ, she may be visibly present in the world as the communion of all his disciples.
Do not many of those involved in ecumenism today feel a need for such a ministry? A ministry which presides in truth and love so that the ship—that beautiful symbol which the World Council of Churches has chosen as its emblem— will not be buffeted by the storms and will one day reach its haven. –Et Unum Sint, 91.
I find this quote from one the late John Paul II's most important encyclicals to be quite interesting. I'm sure at first glance, any protestant reader will immediately dispute the claims that are made in the first paragraph regarding the role of Peter and his continuing office in the church. However, I am more interested in the second paragraph. Is not John Paul II correct in his statement that many or perhaps most Christian who are ecumenically minded long for there to be a ministry, or a minister that can serve as a focal point for the unity of the church throughout the world? Do we not need some sort of ministerial focal point to orient the whole church if the church is ever to be one in any meaningful sense? I am here, of course excluding any simple talk of "spiritual unity", which I take to be a cop out and a rejection of the corporeality and visibility of the church.
So, if it is the case that we do need some sort of centralized ministry for unity, what should that be if not the papacy? To be sure, I think there are legitimate criticisms to be made of the papacy, but I think the question to protestants who desire unity is what alternative to the papacy they might envision that would fulfil the role that the papacy seeks to fill. So, is there any alternative that a protestant might legitimately point to in place of the ministry of unity that the bishop of Rome provides?

We are remodeling our shower and are looking for some advice on the shower pan. What we are planning on doing is taking out the current 3x3 stand up shower and the garden tub and making 1 large 2 person shower with shower heads on each end. The shower will be about 93" x 42". #1 Wedi - Currently leaning toward this option the most. I can use 2 32x48 shower pans and 2 extensions to build the shower pan with their system #2 Custom Corner Neo Angle Shower Stall Pan Base Receptor Installation Pans Bases They can custom build a shower pan for me, but I have not been able to find much information about them #3 http://www.tile-ez.com/products/custom-shower-pans/ They can custom build a shower pan for me, but I have not been able to find much information about them I have also considered Kerdi but the membrane surface looks like a pain so i doubt i go this route. If anyone has any advice on the shower pan I would really appreciate it. Or if anyone has any experience with the above 3 companies i would be interested in that as well. |

You're being penny wise and pound foolish here. The only way to make such a large shower work correctly is to tear out the old and start from scratch. You will need to upsize the drain size anyway to pass inspections, so it HAS to be done. Then, do a proper preslope, then use Kerdi and a trench drain. You will probably also want to figure in some supplementary heat for this bathroom, as such a large shower will be drafty and cold. |
I see mud bed with Kerdi on top as the best choice |
If the goal is to convert a current shower drain and a current tub drain into two shower drains, it's a plan that may not work. Code requirements are different for tub and shower drains, so to convert your tub drain to a shower you'd have to tear out the plumbing anyway to size it to the current standards. If your current shower is an older shower, the existing drain and branch lines might be undersized for that as well. So a retrofit might not be code compliant to begin with. You may not think that a mud pan is a very good design, but if you use a mud pan with a topical membrane, you're getting two things; the most durable and customizable shower base out there through the mud pan, and the best water protection out there with a topical membrane. Plus, the mud pan with topical membrane will be a helluva lot less expensive, and better performing, than a double-Wedi setup, and much more durable and better performing than anything that TileEZ puts out. It's your space, but I do encourage you to reconsider your plan. I understand what you're trying to do, which is avoid some ugly up front prep work. But that bit of work up front will result in a wonderful shower at the end. Your proposed plan may save you a bit of effort now, but I really think it'll cost you later. And if this is a job that will be inspected by a code enforcement official, your current plan might very well result in a tear-out. Good luck! |
I agree with Mongo...Get a good tile person that is familiar with adjusting your drain system or, failing that, a plumber for that part. Have a mud bed installed and go with Kerdi or Hydroban for waterproofing. Properly built, it'll likely outlive you! |

Gear Question
This board or the GNU riders Choice?
This board or the GNU riders Choice?
Oh man! I'm freaking out cuz I love the Evo. But I own the Rider's Choice! I love the RC also! Ok, here's the deal...I demo'd last year's Evo and fell in love with it. Then I bought last year's Rider's Choice and loved it too! However, THIS YEAR, the Rider's Choice has rocker and camber just like the Evo, so I'm totally pumped to try that out, and cant comment on which company did it better. I'll say this...the Evo was more flexible than the Rider's Choice (however, i must say this could be caused by the fact that the evo was a demo and had been broken in much better than my rider's choice). Overall dude, I'd say you cant go wrong with either board! The magnatraction took me some time to get used to, but after i did I thought it was the bee's knees. Bottom line...either board is a great choice! Hell, buy both off dogfunk, and return the one you dont like! Check out Dogfunk's return policy...BEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!!!
love you DF!

I have two 1/2 HP Crafsman garage door units with two garage doors. I also have the two original remote to open the doors with the dip switches. I set them up so I can open both doors with different buttons on the remote. One of the remotes stopped working. I called Sears and got a compatible 3 button remote 139.18802 with 3 buttons. Followed the instructions that came with it on the first door using the yellow learn button on one of the units. When I pick a button on the remote to program both of my garage doors open. I have tried many times with different buttons on the remote, starting with the other door but can't get just one door to open. My other original remote still works properly. Any ideas?? |

Not sure what the proper name is. Some call it Johnny Jump Ups and some call them spider lillies. They are in bloom now in the south. I need to know if the bulbs multiply. I can't find any bulbs in stores here.

Yes, the bulbs multiply. However, it can take years to get a good stand of them. You can buy the bulbs on Ebay and various online bulb companies. |

Before the match-up even came about, the L.C. Bird Skyhawks boy's basketball team had this date circled on their calendar- a potential match-up with Petersburg in the regional semi-finals. The way things shook out, the Skyhawks got their shot and in a nip and tuck affair they would fall just short, losing to the Crimson Wave 71-66.
"Getting off to that slow start didn't help us," said Bird head coach Troy Manns. "I have to commend the kids for fighting hard and coming back when we were down- it was a back and forth game."
Petersburg came out of the gates strong as Bird had some trouble finding an offensive rhythm. Heavy doses of Petersburg standouts Frank Mason and Marcus Hoosier would be the theme for the game as the two stars combined twelve points in the first quarter and 55 for the game. Petersburg held a 16-7 lead after the first quarter.
Bird would answer, getting the ball inside and capitalizing from the free throw line, a skill that's become a trademark for the Skyhawks. Bird trailed 25-24 at the half.
The Skyhawks continued that momentum and built as much as a six point lead in the third quarter- sparked by the play of freshman Kenny Williams.
"Kenny [Williams] came in and sparked us offensively," said Manns. "He came in and drove the ball, and hit his foul shots."
In the fourth, a bucket by Christian Smith gave Bird a brief lead at 53-52. That lead would change several times down the stretch. Bird's last lead of the game came on a Reddick triple that fell inside of a minute giving them the lead at 64-62. Petersburg's Hoosier answered immediately with a three of his own. After another bucket and one by Hoosier, the Skyhawks were forced to foul. Mason also hit several key fourth quarter shots.
"Seems like every time we got the lead Mason would hit a shot," said Manns. "That's what good players do."
Bird was led by Robert Johnson who scored 15 points in limited minutes due to foul trouble and fouling out in the fourth quarter. The Skyhawks got a strong contribution also from Williams, who finished the game with 13 points. Smith added ten points and six rebounds. Junior Bryce Harman was a force on defense- registering four blocks. For Petersburg, Mason finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds and Hoosier added 24 points and 11 rebounds. Petersburg head coach Rick Hite wasn't surprised by the effort Bird gave, despite the losing effort.
"L.C. responded the way I expected them to, and came back each time," said Hite. "They are the #1 seed for a reason- they have one of the best players in the state [Robert Johnson] and the best coach in the state [Manns]," he continued. "Bird deserved to win this as much as we did."
The Skyhawks finished their season short of last year's state final appearance, but still had a great overall season finishing at 23-4 and bringing home the regular season Dominion District title with a perfect 16-0 record. They will return a few key contributors in Johnson, Harman and Williams, but will graduate Smith and Harvey Freeman, who Hite called "The most underrated point guard in the region."

Undergraduate and graduate students can apply for half-time (900 hours) or quarter-time (450 hours) positions and are placed based on their academic program, prior experiences, and skills. Non–Springfield College students can apply to complete a full-time term of service (1,700 hours) as an Academic Support Specialist.

Josh Schupack, AmeriCorps member 2009-10, 2010-11 "The Springfield College AmeriCorps program creates a true representation of leadership in service. As a member of this Corps, I have learned real community action skills to move forward with future service that I intend on doing.

The United Way and Furniture Sharehouse donated over 100 mattresses on Thursday to families throughout Westchester County.
By Brian Marschhauser
With the help of the United Way and Furniture Sharehouse, Westchester families in need will experience a dream only made possible by a good night?s sleep on their new mattresses.
The two organizations teamed up to provide 106 mattresses to dozens of families living in White Plains and throughout Westchester County.
?We're just amazed and loving it right now,? said Deshawn Manning. Deshawn and his wife Cassandra, one of the families receiving the mattresses, appeared at Furniture Sharehouse?s warehouse stationed at the Westchester County Airport on Thursday.
The shipment of mattresses came at the perfect time for the Yonkers couple and their four boys who were in desperate need of furniture.
?They've been asking every day 'When is it coming? When is it coming?' To them it's like Christmas,? said Cassandra. The boys, aged 13, 10, 6 and 4, had previously been bunking with one another and had been experiencing back pain due to their old, worn out mattresses.
?They're sleeping on their mattresses, but their mattresses are so worn and they really have to be thrown out,? said Deshawn. ?The springs are starting to come out, the stuffing's starting to come out, so to have these mattresses come in is going to be tremendous for the kids? For them it's going to mean the world. It's really going to change their lives.?
Cassandra believes the mattresses will do more than just alleviate their back pain. The mother of four is equally excited to see the smiles on their faces that the new mattresses will bring. ?The pride that they'll have is unbelievable.?
The sole contributor of mattresses to this cause was Tempur-Pedic. Due to possible bed bug infestations, only foam mattress donations were accepted.
?These types of mattresses are foam,? said Naomi Adler, United Way?s chief executive officer. ?Therefore they can be used in all types of places in which bed bugs have been a problem. Bed bugs won't infiltrate these types of mattresses.?
The donation was made possible by the United Way?s Gift-in-Kind program, which assists companies and individuals who would like to donate products and goods to nonprofit organizations.
Furniture Sharehouse is one of the nonprofit organizations working with the United Way. The organization collects ?gently-used? furniture and redistributes it free of charge throughout Westchester County to families in need. The families are referred by social service agencies.
?Our single biggest client need is beds, and we never have enough,? said Kate Bialo, executive director of Furniture Sharehouse. ?This wonderful donation? will make a huge difference in the lives of dozens of families who would otherwise be sleeping on the floor.?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rio!
Facts about Rio
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Rio's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
This is Rio, a sleek and debonair dark-haired beauty. He was surrendered to WWCR because he was getting picked on by the other cats in his home. He would be an ideal only cat. He loves people and attention. He is very sweet and affectionate, and definitely not bad luck!
He's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped as well as FIV/FeLV neg. He is about 3 years old. Rio's adoption fee is $65.
Other Pets at Wayward Whiskers Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rio, a San Antonio American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Antonio breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

The ribbon is pretty efficient, although once you get a hang of the commands, using any buttons becomes slower than just typing in a command.
Because you have to find the button
Granted, there are some commands that are much longer than they need to be (which you can change in the acad.pgp file) most are easily and quickly moved into muscle memory, where very little thinking is needed when creating the model. Searching for buttons takes time, clicking tabs or clicking pull down menus takes time, and taking the mouse cursor of the area of the drawing you are drawing in takes time. It is only a very small fraction of time, but it adds up very quickly over the course of the day and the project.
Ok, try this: in options, PROFILES rollout, Available profiles: set in AutoCAD (AutoCAD Architecture Metric/Imperial is on default), then Set Current and apply, now you can switch to AutoCAD Classic from Workspace Switching.

Discussing the Bok Team to face the Dragons!
June 2, 2010 in Uncategorized
Hey there blogland!
So my hangover has resided and the celebrations of the Bulls victory are over. The time has come to don our Green and Gold again and all stand together.
Now don't get me wrong, I love watching the Boks play as much as possible, but this test is just another money making scheme by SARU. I truly believe having a test a week after the S14 final is stupid. The guys need rest, have we learnt nothing from the end of year tour last year.
Fine, PdV has selected a B team for this test, but why on earth are there still Stormers and Bulls in the side. I can at least think of 2 or 3 players that could have replaced the Stormers/Bulls in this side. Not only was Bekker who had a massive S14 campaign in the squad, now he gets replaced by Victor due to injury. WTF are you doing PdV???
Anyhow, here is the team that has been selected for the Wales test, with some comments of course
1. CJ van der Linde
Great, the big man is coming back to the "States" and hopefully he has learnt some things in the Northern Hemisphere that will make him an even better player. Haven't seen him play much this year so far so can't comment on his form or fitness.
2. John Smit (captain)
I really think the powers that be missed a trick here. We have an abundance of very capable hookers in this country and this would have been a perfect opportunity to give one of them a chance in the starting line-up.
3. BJ Botha
Good to see this guys back propping up John, they caused some chaos last year when they scrummed together.
4. Danie Russouw
What? Are you kidding me? This guy has played his heart out for 15 weeks! Does he not deserve a week off? If they were hellbent on sending a Bulls Nr 4 in the mould of Bakkies, they could have sent Flip vd Merwe. Anton van Zyl also comes to mind as him and Fondse rotated during the season.
5. Victor Matfield
Again, what?!? Rather send Muller from the Sharks to do duty for this test. He has the neccesarry experience, and was part of a pack that destroyed the Stormers in DBN.
6. Francois Louw
Again, this guy needs rest, he might be young and this was his first real season at 14 level, but do we really want to burn our players out before the reach their peak? Jacque Botes from the Sharks or Derrick Kuun (Also did not play as much) from the Bulls could have done duty here.
7. Dewald Potgieter
Two words. Juan Deysel!
8. Joe Van Niekerk
Other than Spies and Vermeulen there aren't really high quality Number 8's in the country currently. Maybe Kanko or Willem Alberts.
9. Ricky Januarie
Please can someone send this wannabe prop to Siberia where there is no rugby. Really PdV, if you can play this oke at 9, why not play Earl at 10. Ruan Pienaar, Jarno Vermaak, Kockot and Sarel Pretorius are all better than this "one-try" hero.
10. Ruan Pienaar
Eish, I really feel for this man, pillar to post from week to week. I don't really have a problem with giving him another go at 10, but we really need to think hard about who the backup for Steyn will be.
11. Odwa Ndungane
Akona has always been the better of the twins (even though it's very slightly better) but surely we have better wings in the country. I think Gerhard vd Heever could have been an option (seeing that he had a 2 week breather before the final) but he has some hamstring problem. What happened to the Freestate flyers Mapoe, Nokwe and the guy that scored that brilliant try against the Bulls last year. I think he moved to Province and never played a game…….
12. Frans Steyn
No problem here. We are a bit thin at 12. Even though I prefer Steyn at 15.
13. Jaque Fourie
Is there nobody else? We need this guy to be at his best during the Tri-Nations, he needs a rest. Can't even think of another 13 worth mentioning……
14. Gio Aplon
Firstly, I hope this guy proves me wrong cos he can be devastating if he finds some space, but having watched a lot of international rugby, those gaps don't often present themeself easily. I personally think he is not strong enough as proven when Francois Hougaardt manhandled him in the S14 Final. Also don't really know of anybody staking a major claim for this position other than Gerhard vd Heever.
15. Zane Kirchner
Give Patrick Lambie a chance!
Well that's my take on the starting 15.
I really hope that the team selected do us proud. Don't think I will survive if I have to watch another game where a bok team get hammered by a mediocre side at best.

The Robert F. Wagner, Jr. Secondary School for Arts and Technology in Long Island City was one of the five U.S. representatives chosen for their diversity to participate in the program by the non-profit education organization iEARN (International Education and Resource Network) and Hewlett Packard. Along with Wagner, U.S. schools in Washington State, California, Wisconsin and Maine also produced photographic records, as did schools in Argentina, Canada, India, Australia, the Czech Republic, Lebanon and Senegal. The program was divided into four exercises. The first exercise introduced students to one another — and to the technology of the digital equipment provided by Hewlett-Packard — through the creation of class photos. (Rather than snap the typically uninspired long shot of everyone standing loose-limbed in front of the school building, many schools went whole-hog with the technology, making up composite class pictures). Exercise two put the spotlight on perception, with students breaking down into groups and answering questions, in visual terms, about their perceptions of the other Digital Cultural Exchange countries, later comparing their own imagery to the reality as captured on the other side of the world. (Exercise three reversed the order of the previous exercise, allowing students to respond to impressions of their own country). The final exercise, called "Let It Flow", involved images of environmental problems, followed by pictures describing the activities being done to improve them. Although the differences between locations are instantly apparent — Menomonie Wisconsin looks nothing like Maharashtra India — the students nevertheless discovered a great deal of commonality between them that extended far beyond which McDonalds is decorated with what. One of the most striking features is each school's love for the beauty of its own immediate environment; Wagner's image of the sun setting over Manhattan and Queens, taken from Queens with the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building prominent, is as touchingly evocative of "home" as the Hopperesque Maine lighthouse or the magnificent cityscape of Prague. There's no sense of one-upsmanship happening here, of anyone claiming "my home is more beautiful than yours." Everyone seems genuinely proud of the place they come from, and more than happy to share it. There are scores of such gorgeous, and even amusing, celebratory pictures, but the images of ecological problems are just as openly direct. Beach pollution, air pollution, trash, along with a picture of a woman measuring beach erosion and a storm drain sporting a stenciled warning ("Dumping waste drains to stream"), are dramatically contrasted with such shots as an empty, but brilliant, "blue, blue sky". Regrettably, there's also a preponderance of fast food trash; as one student wrote in an accompanying caption, hamburger wrappers and cardboard French fry containers helped drive home a cultural point: that fast food — and by extension, U.S. influence — is very nearly everywhere. So how accurate were the perceptions of other cultures about the U.S.? "Their impressions were mostly right," reports Wagner 7th-grader Laura Dolabela, who attributes the accurateness to the continual exposure the nation receives through television. Wagner classroom teacher Donna Bierschwale avers, adding that the impression held by young people elsewhere — not only of the country, but of New York City itself — was remarkably on the money. No doubt much of the perception about New York comes from the city's famed diversity, expressed by Dolabela herself in a series of pictures of various international food-related signs around Queens. Bierschwale, who teaches photography, computer graphics and computer skills, is enthusiastic about the program's social studies bent and says that Wagner created a class especially for the project, and will continue working on it until the end of the year. "The album will still be up and we'll still be uploading into it," she promises. "My students were very excited to start and shared a lot, experienced a lot. They didn't want to stop, so we're still shooting." And learning.

StudentsReview ::
Yuba College - Comments and Student Experiences | |||||||||||||||||||
This time is a terrible thing happened to me. I was scheduled to take my final exam with my proctor on July 28 and my course deadline was July 29th.
I was so ill on July 28 and I called my proctor to reschedule July 29 but my proctor was not available on 29 which is Sunday. I called Allied American University but no one was working on Sunday. On the other hand, I was so dizzy and I thought I will call Allied American University on Monday to let me take my final exam on July 30 due to my illness, and I could not take in on the date before the deadline. The student adviser told me to fill the incomplete form and sign and email it to my instructor. I did email the signed incomplete form to my instructor who is Dr. Susan Fournier and also left her a message asking her to allow me to take my final exam and told her I was so ill and I missed my final exam before the deadline. She said that it was out of her control due to the school policy and I called and talked to the school supervisor, her name is Sasha Heard and she said that she will follow up with my instructor and let me know the result.
The response is that I need to pay a fee and retake my course from the beginning, and the most upset me is that I got a grade D in my record which is not accepted by my school that I would like to enroll into the program. I got a decent scores for each assignment of the course.
And after my retake, it will still showed that I D as my old student GPA and my new grade.
I feel very unfair to post a grade D in my grade for missing my final exam before deadline due to my illness. And they were just wasting my time by telling me to fill the incomplete form while they already know that they are not going to approve my extension of taking my final exam any way.
If I could afford to pay to take the same course with other school, I would not retake this course with Allied American University.I would alert someone not to fall in my situation, and I personally would never recommend anyone to this school.

Sun Care Treatments
What SPF Does Your Client Need?
Posted: May 3, 2010
Sun protection is an everyday must for anyone concerned with keeping their skin in top shape, and that includes avoiding wrinkles, brown discolorations, building collagen, keeping skin firm and even preventing skin cancer. SPF 15 is the minimum rating to look for and greater is better for some skin colors and conditions; all sunscreens must be liberally applied; and UVA protection is critical. Following are some helpful tips from Paula Begoun, author of Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me (Beginning Press, 2009).
UVA protection depends on the active ingredients in the product you are recommending to clients, so be sure one or more of these active ingredients are included: avobenzone (sometimes listed as butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane), titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, mexoryl (ecamsule) or, outside the United States, tinosorb.
Decisions, decisions
There are several important factors that influence how clients choose and how they should apply a sunscreen.
- How long they are going to be in the sun or sitting next to a window (UVA radiation, the sun's most damaging rays, come through windows)? The longer they are going to be in the sun or exposed to UVA radiation via windows, the higher the SPF number they need to apply.
- Are they willing to apply your chosen sunscreen liberally? No matter what SPF rating you choose, they have to apply it liberally. If they aren't applying it liberally, always go for a higher number to ensure they are getting as many sunscreen ingredients on their skin as possible.
- Will they be swimming or perspiring heavily? If so, recommend that they chose sunscreens labeled "water resistant" or "very water resistant." Be sure to remind them to reapply as directed, especially after toweling off.
Clients will also want to take into consideration their skin types and whether or not they'll be wearing makeup.
- Those with normal to dry skin should use sunscreens in a lotion or cream base.
- Those with oily or combination skin should go for sunscreens formulated in a lightweight lotion with a matte finish, a liquid or an alcohol-free gel base. Many spray-on sunscreens are excellent for oily skin.
- If they're going to be wearing foundation, they can choose one with sunscreen and pair it with a moisturizer with sunscreen and a pressed powder with sunscreen.
What's their rating?
The ideal SPF number is a multiplication figure based on clients' skin color and the SPF number on the product.

Football: Evergreen Park hopes to build on success
By Pat Disabato firstname.lastname@example.com July 22, 2013 8:44PM
Evergreen Park's Jacquet McClendon (21). | Joel Lerner~Sun-Times Media
high school
Article Extras
Updated: August 24, 2013 6:03AM
It's been quite the turnaround for Evergreen Park's football program.
The Mustangs missed the playoffs eight of nine seasons leading up to the 2011 campaign, including going 0-9 in 2007.
Those days are in the rear-view mirror.
Evergreen Park not only qualified for the playoffs the past two seasons, it enjoyed lengthy postseason runs.
In 2011, the Mustangs advanced to the Class 4A quarterfinals in finishing 8-4.
The 2012 Mustangs advanced further than any team in the program's history — the 4A semifinals — and stood just one win away from advancing to the state championship game.
Though Evergreen Park suffered a 23-7 loss to Rock Island Alleman in the semis, it was a magical season that ended with a 9-4 record.
So what's in store in 2013 for the Mustangs?
"I think skill-wise, we compare a lot to the last two years," said Evergreen Park coach Dan Hartman, who's entering his third season at the helm. "If we can get enough wins to get into the playoffs, I'm confident we can make a little run again. But our offensive line will determine how far we can go this year."
The Mustangs return two O-linemen in seniors Nick Knieps and Dave Ziebarth. The three remaining spots on are up for grabs.
Having skill-position players such as wide receiver Jacquet McClendon and running back Keyshawn Carpenter should help overcome a lack of experience up front.
In 2012, Carpenter rushed for a team-leading 900 yards. He's also a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield.
"Keyshawn is multipurpose," Hartman said. "We can the hand the ball off to him or we can throw him the ball. We're expecting big things from him."
McClendon is receiving plenty of looks from Division I programs, including Kansas, Central Michigan, Bowling Green and Miami (Ohio). At 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, he has the size, strength and speed to produce nightmares for opponents.
"Jacquet has been working really hard in the weight room," Hartman said. "He's ready for a year with about 60 or 70 catches."
It's still uncertain as to who'll throw McClendon the ball. A two-way battle between senior Jon Karstrand and junior Sean Ryan has yet to play itself out.
"Jon has pretty good control of the offense and can definitely run the show," Hartman said. "Sean is trying to learn the offense. He has a real strong arm and is athletic."
Hartman made it clear that whomever finishes second in the competition will be starting at wide receiver. In fact, Karstrand was a receiver last season.
Another receiver to keep an eye on is junior Kerron Brown. The tandem of McClendon and Brown should be fun to watch.
Defensively, the line boasts two impact players in seniors Tremane Holt and Alex Cheatham.
The secondary has plenty of experience with seniors Tim Walsh and brothers Dan and Don Oresky back in the fold.
McClendon will be penciled in at one of the linebacker spots, along with Dan Kholer, a transfer from St. Rita.
"We have a little bit more experience on defense," Hartman said. "But overall, I think we're a little ahead of where I expected us to be."
If the potential for a third straight playoff appearance isn't enough excitement, the installation of FieldTurf on the football field has caused quite a buzz. The new surface should not only benefit the Mustangs on the field, but help draw top prospects from the community.
"It's right on schedule," Hartman said of the FieldTurf installation. "It should be ready to go for the first day of practice. I think it will help us out with our team speed for sure. I also think it's going to help us keep our own kids and make us comparable to the Catholic schools."

Peter, I have read your column/blog for years....first in the Philadelphia Inquirer and now the Harrisburg Patriot News. I should have known to reach out to you BEFORE I purchased a Select Comfort bed (model 5000, Queen size) with the GridZone Foam (classic, standard) matress. I paid top dollar for this bedding when purchased a few years ago and cannot afford to replace it. When I inflate the mattress to a hardness sufficient to eliminate lower back pain, I experience pain between my shoulders....and when I deflate the matress to a softness that eliminates the pain between my shoulders I get excrutiating lower back pain. A generic egg crate topper has proved ineffective. I am 5'8", 170 lbs and relatively fit. I am able to sleep on either of the two couches in my home with absolutely no problems.....but my wife and I agree that this is not a viable solution!!
Hi Brad. Unfortunately, air doesn't provide any upward support. Your best bet is to inflate it so it's very firm and put a latex topper on it. The latex will be more substantial than an egg crate, and will be much more durable.

The New York Knicks added a lot of talent this past offseason. Kelenna Azubuike, Ronny Turiaf and Anthony Randolph are three solid role players, at the very least. Ray Felton is an upgrade from Chris Duhon at point guard. And, of course, the crown jewel of the Knicks' haul is Amar'e Stoudemire, a man touted as a potential MVP candidate by his coach. The Knicks are going to be way better than they have the past few seasons, and I'd put 'em in the playoffs were I asked by a Canadian podcaster who is neither Skeets nor Tas.
But I am not a rotund NBA Hall of Famer, which would seem to be irrelevant until you realize that Charles Barkley is and he disagrees about the Knicks' prospects. From the New York Daily News:
"I just don't know how good [the Knicks] can be," Barkley said on the eve of TNT's season-opening broadcast between Boston and Miami. "Can they make the playoffs? I just don't see it."
Barkley, who recently lost 40 pounds and says his goal is to drop another 40, added that Mike D'Antoni has his best team in three years and that one of the keys to its success will be Raymond Felton.
"Mike plays a point guard-driven system," he said. "And he had a great one in Phoenix in Steve Nash. They'll be better but again, I still think New Jersey will be better."
Like I said, I'm not a former Hall of Fame NBA basketball player who has recently lost 40 pounds and hopes to lose another 40 — very important information, by the way — so maybe I don't see the game the same way that Charles Barkley does. However, the Knicks finished 11th in the East last year and two teams ahead of them (Cleveland and Toronto) got significantly worse. Add in the improvements that New York made and I'd imagine they'll be challenging for the eight seed all year, even if they don't land Carmelo Anthony.
Furthermore, while I like the players the Nets added — Jordan Farmar, Travis Outlaw, Anthony Morrow and Johan Petro — and think that Brook Lopez will continue to improve and Devin Harris will have a bounce-back type of year, I don't necessarily think that all those things combined add up to 30 more wins, which is basically what it takes to make the playoffs in the East. The Nets will be better, for sure, but they probably won't be that much better. I mean, I like those new guys just fine, but none of them are world-beaters.
Then again, I've never raced and then kissed a 67-year-old man on national television, so what do I know?

Bennington officials react to NYT heroin articleBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF Writer | March 15,2014BENNINGTON Community leaders came together Friday to formulate a response to a New York Times article about heroin use, which some said painted Bennington in an unbalanced and negative light.
Select Board Chairman Joseph Krawczyk Jr. said it was important to make a formal response. But he said the community should not run away from the fact that we recognize that we do have an issue here that weve got to solve, but at the same time, we know that and were taking steps to solve that problem.
The article was published March 5 and carried the headline: Heroin Scourge Overtakes A Quaint Vermont Town.
Krawczyk said of the article: It painted the town of Bennington in a very bad light ... To say that we have turned our back on an issue here, which is addiction to drugs of any type, is not true.
Sue Maguire, principal of Mount Anthony Union High School, said her biggest concern was a quote attributed to Trooper Wayne Godfrey of the Vermont State Police alluding to heroin use by high school students.
Everyone is doing it, Godfrey said in the Times article. Its in the high school. The kids are doing it right in school. You find baggies in the hallway.
MAU was not named, but Maguire said it wasnt true.
Everyone isnt using heroin, she said. Weve never found a baggie of heroin or any drug sitting in the hallway and kids obviously arent shooting up and using drugs in the hallways.
Maguire added, For me, that particular quote sensationalized a really serious problem that we face like every other community, but the sensationalism was at the expense of our kids and our school.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette supported Maguire. He said the high school was in his departments jurisdiction and he was not aware of any investigation that found heroin in the school halls or heroin use in the building.
However, he also said he knew Godfrey and said he was a good police officer. He said he hoped the community could move past the comment and look at drug abuse in the community.
Doucette said local law enforcement has been doing its part, sharing resources and working with community members who have begun to bring information to police because theyre tired of seeing drugs in their town.
We have worked very hard with the Sheriffs Department, the Vermont State Police, the New York State Police, Rensselaer County Sheriffs Department and the Bennington County states attorneys office to locate, put a case together, apprehend and prosecute people that are dealing drugs in our community, he said. And I think that weve done very well at that.
Doucette also talked about how police would like to do more to help than simply making arrests.
Some of these people need help and in order to help them, there needs to be follow-through with these people that are arrested, he said. There needs to be a way that we can treat the people that we dont arrest that realize they need help. You dont have to be arrested to get help.
Judith Fellowes-Miller, a local substance abuse prevention consultant for the state Department of Health, said much of her work involves trying to sift through perception and reality. She pointed out that the most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey of MAU students, which is conducted every two years, found only 1 percent of the students said theyd tried heroin.
This last article (in the New York Times) has reminded me, when I lived in Alaska, people would fly into Alaska and they would stay a week and then they would go away and they would write a book, Fellowes-Miller said. We all thought that was very humorous because the book was nothing like living in Alaska was like.
While no one at the meeting on Friday said the article was entirely inaccurate or that drug addiction was not a problem in Bennington, there were other criticisms. Ralph Provenza, director of United Counseling Service in Bennington, said the article may have overstated and oversimplified the problem.
Town Manager Stuart Hurd, who has been directed by the Select Board to draft a response, said some of the quotes that were used were devastating, but he called the article galvanizing in bringing people together to look at the local drug problems.
Our response to the Times is going to attempt to outline the things that we are all doing here to deal with the problem, Hurd said. I dont think anyone in the community is running away from the problem or hiding their head in the sand. Were not ignorant to whats happening in this community and its happening everywhere.
