Furthermore, these participants were inclined to agree that such a goal should be the human exploration of the solar system beyond low-Earth orbit. They viewed exploration as the acquisition of new knowledge: knowledge of space as a place for human activity, knowledge of our solar system, and knowledge of the universe beyond our solar system. They also saw exploration as a basic human desire, innate in our genetic code, and noted that human spaceflight can be the modern realization of that basic trait.
The important question, of course, is how does the nation proceed in order to achieve a space exploration goal? How do we ensure success? Our workshop recognized that exploration of our solar system is a long-term endeavor, which needs to be accomplished with a series of incremental steps. In this sense, the human exploration efforts can learn from the successes of NASA's science programs. Workshop participants observed that certain key factors have contributed to the success of the science program: there are clear goals in the science program established by the science community's interest in pursuing the most challenging scientific questions; there is strategic planning; and there has been a steady sequence of accomplishments. The science program is executed via a series of individual steps that can accumulate success, from which progress can be measured and momentum sustained.
So what are these steps for human exploration? Our workshop participants envisioned a number of key efforts—the development of building block technology, the dedication of ISS research to solving questions posed by long-term spaceflight, eventual phasing out of the space shuttle, and the use of robotic precursor missions to both the Moon and Mars. These steps also are part of NASA's new roadmap for space exploration.
In 1997 the Space Studies Board published a report which I think offers several complementary ideas for a roadmap for space exploration. Titled The Human Exploration of Space, the report reviews three important areas of consideration that the Board felt were necessary to address at the initial stages of a program in human exploration. First is the enabling science for human exploration. This defines the conditions necessary to maintain the health and safety of astronauts and to ensure their optimal performance. Research areas that are enabling science can be classified according to their degree of urgency. Critical research issues, or "showstoppers," are those for which inadequate scientific data lead to unacceptably high risks to any program of extended space exploration. The second area of consideration is the science that is enabled by a human exploration program, specifically human missions to the Moon and Mars. The third area of consideration is one of management and organization—what should be the relationship between the scientific community and NASA, between scientists and engineers within NASA, as a program of human exploration moves forward?
The 1997 SSB report identifies the following as those showstopper, critical research issues: the long- and short-term effects of ionizing radiation on human tissue; the radiation environment inside proposed space vehicles; the benefits and costs of different radiation shielding techniques; the detrimental effects of reduced gravity and transitions in gravitational forces on all of the body's systems and on bones, muscles, and mineral metabolism; and the psychological effects of long-duration confinement in microgravity with no escape possible. These and several other issues related to the human biological response to space exploration are detailed and prioritized in two more recent National Academies reports: A Strategy for Research in Space Biology and Medicine in the New Century, published by the Space Studies Board; and Safe Passage: Astronaut Care for Exploration Missions, published by the Institute of Medicine.
As for the connection between scientists and engineers, I was struck at our workshop by how members of the scientific community appeared willing to embrace the idea that the human spaceflight program can be a contributor to real scientific progress. I think our participants would echo the conclusions of the 1997 report which called for an integrated science program to accompany human missions to the Moon and Mars, as well as the close coordination between human spaceflight and science program staff in the implementation of an exploration program. Participants at our workshop said many times that the reason the process of setting research priorities by the scientific community has had a positive impact on NASA's science programs is that it creates within the scientific community, a community that in the language of Congress can be considered the constituency of the science programs, a sense of ownership in the program. That feeling of ownership creates what we called a constructive tension between NASA and the science community, which ultimately empowers the program to excel. We observed this sense of ownership to be missing from the human spaceflight part of NASA, but that does not have to remain the case.

Reader Survey: Leopard the (bad) little things
Okay so now I want to turn the tables. We just posted on the good little things in Leopard. Now I want to focus on the bad or annoying little things. What are the niggling little things that make your time in Leopard less enjoyable? As before, I'll get you started with a few of mine.
- Network mounts in the Finder sidebar are now in the SHARED submenu. This means an extra click to browse the network mount vs. Tiger.
- The dynamic Dock folder icon in stacks. I find this to be especially asinine. The folder icon for stacks in the Dock changes to reflect the first item in the stack. This can be especially confusing when all you stacks now look the same because they all have sub-folders in them.
- Because of the translucency, text in the menubar is no longer anti-aliased. This means that my MenuCalendarClock date and time looks worse than in Tiger.
- Spaces isn't smart enough. It will sometimes pull you into a space you don't want to be in because of a dialog sheet.

The "Cosmogonic" Form of Genesis 1
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.

In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
When we sit down to read sacred Scripture, we need to develop a rapport with the Bible's various authors and their worldviews. Otherwise, we will unintentionally demand they communicate in the same manner we do.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.

Whittier is a city in the Valdez-Cordova Census Area, in the U.S. state of Alaska. As of 2006, the population was 177. The city is also a port for the Alaska Marine Highway. [edit] History
The Whittier Glacier near Whittier was named for the American poet John Greenleaf Whittier in 1915. During World War II the United States Army constructed a military facility, complete with port and railroad terminus near the glacier and named the facility Camp Sullivan. The spur of the Alaska Railroad to Camp Sullivan was completed in 1943 and the port became the entrance for United States soldiers into Alaska. The port remained an active army facility until 1960. The two huge buildings that dominate Whittier were built after World War II. The 14-storey Hodge Building (now Begich Towers) was built for housing soldiers and the Buckner Building, completed in 1953, was called the "city under one roof". Both buildings were at one time the largest buildings in Alaska. The Begich Building is now a condominium. Together with the 2-storey Whittier Manor, Begich Building houses nearly all of Whittier's residents. The port remained an active Army facility until 1960. Whittier was incorporated in 1969. The town was severely damaged by tsunamis triggered by the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake; thirteen people died due to waves that reached 13 m (43 ft). Whittier is a popular port of call for cruise ships, as it has connections to Anchorage and the interior of Alaska by both highway and rail. It is the embarkation/debarkation point of the Denali Express nonstop rail service to and from Denali National Park operated by Princess Tours. Whittier is also popular with tourists, sport fishermen and hunters. Whittier is in the Chugach School District and has one school serving around 35 students from preschool through high school.

ith more than 175 locations nationwide and more than 35 years in the business, Car-X Auto Service has earned a prime spot in the parking garage of quality car care and customer service. Started in 1971 by a team of seasoned muffler-shop owners, the service centers have blossomed from their beginnings as specialty exhaust shops to providers of nearly any repair or maintenance service imaginable, from installing performance-enhancing accessories to treating cars to therapeutic trust falls. In addition to promoting safety and long, healthy engine life with brake services and speedy oil changes, Car-X Auto Service reaches out to the surrounding community with regular philanthropic activities, such as recycling drives and participation in the American Heart Association's Heart Walk.
Salt. Potholes. Years of lengthy work commutes. Automobiles are under constant stress from road conditions. Luckily, the ASE-certified technicians at Open Road Automotive and Tire address these issues through both preventive maintenance and repairs. The auto experts can do everything from changing oil to fixing brake issues to tinting windows so superheroes can finally use drive-throughs. For every repair, the technicians make sure to use up-to-date parts manufactured in the United States.

Quick Response Audits (QRA) are single-issue audits with a narrow focus. These audits are designed to address a specific objective within a short period of time.
QRA is a term used to cover a variety of audits that will have limited objectives as opposed to the complete evaluation of a company's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) activities in the focused assessment program. Because audit objectives vary among QRA, a universal audit program cannot be established and used for all QRA.
Examples of a QRA might be an audit of an importer's CBP operations to determine if there is a potential for unlawful transshipment or an audit of the company's controls concerning intellectual property rights. Generally, QRA originate from referrals by other CBP and Homeland Security offices utilizing risk management principles to identify specific companies involved in certain types of transactions.
CBP Policy for Audits of ISA Approved Companies
One of the major benefits of the ISA program is that the ISA member company is withdrawn from the Focused Assessment audit pool. This means that because of the company's demonstrated compliance level and willingness to partner with CBP, the company will not be considered a candidate for routine Focused Assessments. CBP has always stipulated that ISA membership did not grant total immunity from any CBP single focus inquiry where the identification of a specific risk by CBP was sufficient to warrant a review of the transactions associated with the particular issue.
In such instances, CBP and the importer will work together to determine a mutually acceptable course of action whenever possible. However, it is unlikely that an ISA approved company, with established internal controls, would be the subject of a referral audit.
QRA of ISA Applicants
If a company that is applying for ISA or is contemplating applying for the program is notified that it has been selected for a QRA, some element of the importer's transactions have been identified as a potential risk. Consequently, CBP will have to resolve the risk issue, either through the scheduled QRA or through the ISA review process. Any potential high-risk issues must be resolved before a company can be approved for ISA.
In some cases with a specific identified risk, it would be more practical and efficient to have the audit team that is scheduling the QRA conduct the review and furnish their results to the ISA review team.
In other cases it may be possible for the ISA review team to complete the audit work if it is within the scope of the ISA review process. The timing and the identity of the specific audit team conducting the work will be decided on a case-by-case basis depending upon the audit team best suited to do the work. In most cases, it will be in the best interests of the company that is applying for ISA to resolve the immediate issue before the actual ISA review. A resolution of an outstanding issue will expedite the ultimate decision of CBP as to the company's eligibility for ISA.

text: Four guys from Innsbruck, Austria ? three DJs Busy Fingaz, Juwee and Fu and their MC/singer Sensay ? established a name for themselves with extensive touring all over Europe for the last 13 years. Founded 1999 in Innsbruck, they have now emerged as one of the most booked DJ-outfits in central Europe, with an extremely club-friendly and crowd-pleasing party-rocking style. Their 2007 release "Go Wax Wreckaz? was in Austria?s FM4 radio charts? Top 10 for 5 weeks so the guys are no newcomers when it comes to smashing out club and radio friendly tunes. And now it?s time for more fire from the crew. This new single titled 'Bubble And Wine Up' is a mash of dancehall, bashment and bass/dubstep vibes, and it has that radio friendliness too. Recorded together and featuring the vocals of Swedish dancehall shooting-star Etzia, this is a warm, full-on feel good tune for the winter. Remixes range from the UK Garage vibed take by Urban Knights to the more tropical (soca-like) remixes by So Shifty and Bert On Beats, as well as a deeper bass cut by Stereotyp. We got a hit record right here.

Brazil - April 9th 2011
I am booked to go on the Brazil trip on April 9th. Would great to chat to anyone else that is going.
I'm on the Brazil trip in April 2011 but will join you in Foz do Iguacu as I am travelling out a few days earlier. I'm really looking forward to it. It's my second time to Brazil. I've been to Sao Paulo and Paraty before but not yet to the places on this trip. Charlotte
Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for your reply. This will be my first time in Brazil and so am a little nervous about going on my own but still can't wait!
I hear there is only 3 of us so far!
Hi everyone (all 3 of us!) I am booked to go on this trip and I am both nervous and excited as I have never been to Brazil before and I have a MISSION to go up to the
Corcavada! I probably am older than the rest of you but that is only in body....I am
18 in my mind and still act it!!!!!
Hi Alison! I'm alot more chilled out now I have had a message from both of you!!
I'm definetly going to do Corcavada even though its looking scary!! Are you flying out from Heathrow on the 9th or joing us out there?
Hello to you both! I think this will be a good trip even if there are only three of us. It makes it easier to go to smaller restaurants. I intend to do the Corcavado too - not to be missed. It's nice to be going to three very different places in the one trip and to be staying three nights in each rather than moving each day. I've done some trips where you cover a lot of ground but don't get time to relax if you want to.
Have either of you got Visa'a for Brazil?
If you are a British citizen you don't need to get one in advance as long as you are not there for more than 90 days. You just get a stamp at the airport. Other nationalities I don't know.
Thanks Charlotte.
I hear there are now 5 of us on this trip!

Today's Boat Buyer: Part I
Posted onDoug and Lynne Stebbins of Port Washington, N.Y., bought a new Nordic Tug 32 late last year from Wilde Yacht Sales, in Essex, Conn., after trading in the 25-foot Chaparral they had owned for a year.
"The Chaparral had a 380-hp MerCruiser I/O that really went pretty fast," says Doug Stebbins, 58. "Neither Lynne nor my son Gregory, who is 12, felt comfortable at the helm when the boat was planing at higher speeds. It wasn't as steady as we'd like."
The couple became interested in the Nordic Tugs line last fall and contacted Ben Wilde to make an appointment. "We both come from an avid sailing background, and we wanted something slow and steady," says Lynne, 55. "Gregory sails, and we wanted something we could follow him during his races. He sails an Opti now, but will be graduating to a Laser soon."
Lynne says the gas engine on the Chaparral typically burned around 12 to 13 gallons an hour. The Nordic Tug's 280-hp Volvo Penta diesel gives the boat a range of 700 miles with its 205-gallon fuel capacity, according to Lynne.
Why did they choose to buy a boat now, in the midst of a recession? In part because they feel comfortable with their jobs and financial situation. Doug is a trial lawyer, and Lynne is an insurance brokerage lawyer in New York. They also said they got an offer they couldn't refuse: three years of free fuel, dockage, storage and maintenance.
"It was something we couldn't pass up," says Lynne. "They also offered two weeks of training on the boat with the purchase. We realized if we had gotten more training with the Chaparral that we would've realized it wasn't the boat for us."
List price for the Nordic Tug 32 was $399,000, according to Lynne. One of the features that appealed to Doug was the combination of a heavier boat and a more efficient diesel. They were eager to sea-trial the boat in December, but knew that would be difficult with the New England winter setting in.
"We really wanted to find time to get the boat in the water," says Doug.
The dealer stepped up and played a key role in the sale, arranging for a sea trial in early December, when the Connecticut River was littered with ice. Doug says Wilde was very knowledgeable and managed to get the boat in the water with assistance of Brewer Dauntless Shipyard, also in Essex. The Stebbins bought the boat that very day.
"Doug and I have very good credit, so it was easy for us to get a loan," says Lynne. "We've been married for 30 years, and we've always had a stable income."
Lynne says they were able to negotiate a 20-year loan at an interest rate of 6.87 percent, with a negotiable down payment. The couple declined to say what they paid upfront.
"The bottom line is if we personally thought we were in real trouble [financially], there's no way we would've done this," says Lynne.

Civic ran fine all of last week, but this morning on the way to work I noticed a couple of things - idle is rough at stops, feeling like it's idling too low (huffs and puffs at stops). After parking in my garage, I had also noticed the engine temp gauge had risen just slightly (just a bit above what it normally runs at). I've had an ongoing problem with my cooling system in the past year or so. At first my radiator and then one of my hoses blew, causing overheating. But lately, my coolant seems to just disappear on its own - no leaks anywhere - it just lowers over time and disappears, causing overheating.
I've read on several forums this morning that this idle issue and loss of coolant are related to either the IACV or some other parts. Can anyone help explain this to me and provide some clarity on the issue, what the problem could be, and potentially how to fix it? I just need my Civic to last me a couple more weeks before my new car arrives. Thanks!

Healthcare workers in the state of New York are resisting and protesting government-mandated vaccinations against the seasonal and swine influenzas, drawing a great deal of media coverage.
The Senate Finance Committee led by Max Baucus (D-Mont.) on September 29 voted 15-8 against including a public health insurance plan in the panel's proposed healthcare reform legislation.
Baucus Tries to Silence Humana
Written by Steven J. DuBordAfter Humana, one of the largest private insurers in America, sent a letter to its customers to inform them how upcoming healthcare legislation could affect their benefits, Senator Max Baucus (D-Mont.) instigated an investigation that effectively stifled Humana's communication efforts.
Judicial analyst and former federal judge Andrew Napolitano blasted a controversial bill in Massachusetts and warned that the public would resist. During an interview on Fox News, the well-known freedom advocate also described various powers the legislation purports to authorize — e.g., forcibly quarantining residents without a warrant — in the name of quelling a public-health threat such as that supposedly presented by the swine flu virus. And he told the Fox News show host that the legislation appeared to be on track for passage.
Senator Max Baucus introduced the first "deficit neutral" healthcare legislation on September 16, but the bill would increase most people's healthcare premiums and still "break the federal budget" — if you believe President Obama's July 22 prime time address to the American people. Back then, Obama stated: "We also know that with health care inflation on the curve that it's on we are guaranteed to see Medicare and Medicaid basically break the federal budget."

Tips to Ensure Compliance with OSHA's Alignment with GHS Chemical Classification and Labeling | Anne Sefried |
Today's organizations operate in a complex and challenging environment that must be carefully managed and monitored to assure safety at all levels. This assurance starts with the building design and carries on through hazardous materials management, from receipt to storage to disposal. Because the regulatory requirements surrounding these issues are constantly changing, it can be a challenge for EH&S professionals to stay on top of new requirements. This webinar will examine recent changes to fire and building code regulations and what it takes to ensure compliance. Learning Outcomes: Recent changes to fire and building code regulations...

From lubricants to solvents, from flammable materials to corrosives, many organizations handle and store a number of different chemicals. It's not enough to ensure that you know where chemicals are, provide training and information about correct handling procedures, and ensure that chemicals are stored and disposed appropriately. It is also important to report to external agencies what chemicals are on site, the quantities of those chemicals, and how and where they are stored. The stakes are higher if those chemicals are hazardous materials. One critical challenge for many organizations is the gap between the laboratory that uses the ch... More »
At first glance chemical inventory management seems deceptively simple: You receive chemicals, store them, use them, and dispose the empty containers when you are done. Planning an Enterprise scale chemical inventory system reveals more complexities. There are many intricate inventory management processes to consider that involve optimizing inventory levels, logistics, replenishment, disposition and forecasting. Many organizations track their chemical inventory on paper, with a basic spreadsheet program, or use legacy in-house solutions. Unfortunately, these solutions don't scale well (or at all), do not provide accurate information, or... More »
As most EHS managers know, compliance with regulations–such as OSHA, GHS, EPA, CDC, DHS, DEA, CEPA, HMIS and HCS to name just a few–require you to have a detailed understanding of the materials being used in your facility. Many of those regulations also have Chemicals of Interest Lists with very specific requirements about managing and reporting those chemicals if and when a certain threshold limit is reached. Because each of these regulations has different criteria, most EHS professionals create internal Regulatory Lists to track the requirements and provide regulatory reports. However, compliance with most of these regulations i... More »

Oh I have... and it's not original. Far from that.
It was still his song and his face is on it. And rap albums have their own producers.if it didn't, why did he get his new album entirely produced by timbaland? cry me a river was the song that solidified his solo career which was why he ran over to timbo to produce his second album right after he was about to hang it up. i can't take that dude seriously.
Uh huh. And what does this prove? Every record has producers. Red One is a big time name... associated with some big acts. Doesn't mean the producer is more important than the personality behind the album.since you love quotes and proof.
Reggaeton has its own producers too... like DJ Urba, Nesty and Tainy.
Just because an album has a producer different than the artist doesn't mean it's crap.

The Cananga fruticosa thread is damaged somehow so it doesn't show new posts, so I started a new thread about the fragrance.
On the previous thread I reported that a C fruticosa from Gardino's had lots and lots of flowers on it, but I hadn't been able to catch a fragrance, as the flowers were dropping off without turning yellow. I believe now the reason for this may have been my keeping it too dry, as the leaves have improved as well with a little more attention to watering. So, today one of the flowers finally reached the yellow stage. Just one, so I don't know if the fragrance would waft if there were more, and I only caught it around five o'clock, so I don't know if it wafted earlier in the day... There was a fragrance. A strange fruity scent, nothing wonderful to my nose like the fragrance of aratbotrys hexapetalus. I'm not sure I even like it. I'll see if I can catch the fragrance at other times and give more information about the quality of the scent. |

I have the same plant. Two of them, the first one died in the winter. It was small but got a couple of flowers, to me the smell is very pleasant, comparable to Chinese rice flower. Got another one last year, gave it more sun, it grow vigorously this year with dark green leaves. There are many flower buds, but the buds grow slowly. Now, there is one and only one that turned slight yellow. I keep sniffing, but nothing except a very light neem oil smell I sprayed a while ago. Will keep sniffing tomorrow. |

This is my plant. Growing very well. But has smelled nothing. I have been watching a flower maturing. Today I found it's done with the wind. I picked up the peddles and smelled nothing. Kind of disappointed so far. |
Hi, yellowthumb. Thanks for posting about your results with this plant. I'm disappointed in mine, too. It's so much trouble to keep plants of this type going over the winter, you want something really good from them. BTW, yours looks really healthy, anyway. :) |

HCC Foundation
Veterans and their dependents are admitted to the College under the same admission requirements as other students. Veteran students are expected to attend classes regularly. Students must pursue the curriculum as listed and approved in the College Catalog and maintain satisfactory academic progress (2.0 Cumulative GPA), attendance, and conduct to maintain eligibility for payments.
VA educational benefits are not paid for any grades other than A, B, C, D, or F. Payments for educational benefits are based on a student's classification according to his/her credit hours per semester. Veterans are expected to notify the Veterans Certifying Official at HCC regarding any changes in their enrollment status. Students applying for Veteran's benefits must submit transcripts from all higher education institutions attended to the HCC Enrollment Management Office.
How the Process Works
- Generally, students need to be prepared to pay education expenses up front, unless they are participating in certain programs that cover tuition, fees and books directly, such as VA Voc Rehab, Post 9/11 G.I. Bill (100% Eligible) or Tuition Assistance. Veterans are also encouraged to apply for federal financial aid.
- Before students receiving veteran's benefits can be certified for payment, they must be fully accepted by the HCC Enrollment Management Office, submit a copy of their student schedule to the VA Certifying Official and all prior college transcripts must be received by the college and evaluated for transfer credit.
- After the student is certified, it can still take 2-3 months before he/she receives the first payment. Students are encouraged to request direct deposit to his/her bank account to save some time in receiving funds.
How to Request Veterans Education Benefits
- Step 1
- Students who have never used their benefits, file an initial application (22-1990) or form 22-1995 if you are changing schools with the VA at gibill.va.gov.
- Step 2
- In 6-8 weeks the VA will mail the veteran a Certificate of Eligibility. Once this is received, please contact the VA Certifying Official to schedule an appointment at 828-627-4509 or 828-627-4506.
- Step 3
- Provide a copy of your student class schedule to the VA Certifying Office prior to each semester for certification to the VA. Also contact the VA Certifying Official if the number of credit hours decreases as a result of dropping, withdrawing from, or no longer attending any of the registered classes.
Other Important Information
- Students can only be certified for classes that are required for his/her program.
- In order to receive full time pay, students must enroll and remain in 12 credit hours during the Fall and Spring semesters. Requirements for Summer term vary.
- Students who withdraw from a class may be required to repay any benefits from the beginning of the term for those hours.
- Students must maintain a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 in order to avoid being placed on probationary status for VA benefits.
- Students must comply with HCC and VA attendance verification procedures. See www.gibill.va.gov/wave or call (877) 823-2378 for VA verification information.
- Students applying for Veteran's benefits must submit transcripts from all higher education institutions attended to the HCC Enrollment Management Office prior to certification of any classes.
- Please note that VA Education Benefits only pay for the In State Tuition rate and HCC currently does not participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program.

Elias Bermudez, a force among Arizona's thousands of Spanish-speakers, quickly is gaining notice from the rest of the population.
Being at the center of a series of massive protest marches will do that to a person.
Bermudez serves as president of Inmigrantes Sin Fronteras, one of the local Hispanic advocacy groups shaping the discussion on national and state immigration policies.
The charismatic radio talkshow host and businessman is a key figure in the planned march from the State Fairground to the state Capitol on Monday, an event projected to draw as many as 100,000 people.
However, he prefers to give credit to others and is quick to point out that he's just one of hundreds of volunteers and that Inmigrantes Sin Fronteras (Immigrants Without Borders) is just one of 43 groups involved in the effort.
"What's going on is activism on the part of a sleeping giant, which is the Hispanic community," he said.
To be certain, Bermudez has done plenty to awaken that giant.
He has met with federal and state officials to push for immigration reform measures. He promotes peaceful activism on his radio show and frequently serves as a spokesman for Hispanic causes, including last month's 20,000-person march through central Phoenix.
During the middle of the March 24 march, unable to hear well on a cell phone because of the crowd noise, he practically interviewed himself for the benefit of a reporter on the other end of the line.
The marchers seek a guest worker program and a path to U.S. citizenship for illegal immigrants living in the United States, he said.
Likewise, a flurry of other activist groups has emerged to influence immigration policy.
On the immigration side: Inmigrantes Sin Fronteras, Arizona Interfaith Network and Radio Campesina, among others.
On the anti-illegal immigration side: Arizona Border Watch, Mothers Against Illegal Aliens and The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.
Several factors have charged the debate in recent years, said Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, D.C.
"If the numbers are right, if you've got 10 million or 15 million illegals in the U.S., that obviously creates a certain saliency," he said.
Most estimates peg the figure at 11 million to 12 million. Perhaps more important, illegal immigrants are moving well beyond the border states and are appearing in significant numbers in the Southeast, Northeast and elsewhere.
Plus, Camarota said, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks raised public awareness about the weaknesses of the immigration system, and President Bush has pushed for immigration reform.
Last, advocacy groups are forming to oppose one another. "That creates a very real contentious political debate and it makes the public discourse kind of incoherent, as well," he said.
Inmigrantes Sin Fronteras supports debate, Bermudez said. "It's democracy at work. It's the greatest thing about this country," he said.
In general, the group advocates a guest worker program for immigrants and a path to citizenship for immigrants already here, he said.
The group specifically has not endorsed any of the competing proposals being considered in Congress.
Bermudez, 55, has personal insight into issues associated with immigration.
He's a former illegal immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen. He's a former agricultural worker, mayor, prisoner and current businessman.
In addition to his earlymorning radio stint on KIDR (740 AM), he's the founder and executive director of Centro de Ayuda, a Phoenix-based immigration document preparation firm.
He is a Republican whose office on East Thomas Road is decorated with photos of his family and sculptures of elephants.
He said he has never stood in an unemployment line and he opposes welfare programs because they limit the upward mobility of minorities.
Bermudez works to keep followers on-message, which means never demeaning political opponents, even when his side endures insults from others.
"Talking bad about somebody else doesn't make you any prettier or any better. You can attack anyone you want to create the atmosphere of animosity, but it's better to join hands and say, 'We have a problem,' and recognize that problem is a mutual problem," he said.
Bermudez was born in San Miguel de Bavispe in central Sonora. He is the oldest of 12 children and first came to the United States on a student visa in 1966. He lived in California for 18 months, before his father, a minister, brought him back to Mexico because he was becoming too "Americanized."
In fact, he was. After four months back in his hometown, he returned to the United States. "I said, 'I'm so sorry, dad. I just won't make it here. I can't make it here,' " he recalled.
Bermudez arrived in east Los Angeles at 17 years old as an illegal immigrant and worked a number of restaurant jobs. He became an activist during a riot in Los Angeles in 1968, he said.
He was standing on a street corner watching the melee when a sheriff's deputy pulled up in a squad car. From the open window, the deputy said, "Come here."
When Bermudez neared the car, the deputy grabbed him by the belt, pulled him against the car and with his free hand, searched Bermudez's pockets, Bermudez said.
"Then when he found out I had no weapons, he just goes — Boom! — and pushes me back and throws me on the ground and they just drive off," Bermudez said. "I said, 'What did I do to deserve this?' I think I became an activist in that moment."
He obtained legal permanent residence status in 1973 and moved to San Luis in Yuma County to be near family who lived across the border in San Luis Rio Colorado, in 1975.
He drove a produce delivery truck, then opened a building materials sales business. He also became active in the drive to incorporate San Luis. He became a U.S. citizen in 1978 and was appointed as the town's first vice mayor a year later.
He became the first elected mayor in 1980 and served two years. He became involved in the 1986 immigration reform measure and started his first immigration document processing firm the following year.
Bermudez's jail stint was the result of trying to help a brother-in-law, who was dealing drugs, he said.
"It was a shame on our family to have someone in the family dealing with drugs, after a very heated debate with this guy, I said to him, 'Look, you stop or else.' He said, 'Well, who's going to feed my family?' " Bermudez said.
Bermudez gave him a job. Things went badly and Bermudez reported his relative to the police, he said. The brother-in-law implicated Bermudez in money laundering.
Bermudez fought the charges for five years, then plea-bargained to Class 4 felony money-laundering, he said.
He served 16 months in jail and a Phoenix halfway house in 1996 and 1997. His incarceration led to prayer and serious introspection, he said. "I said to God, 'God, is this what you do to people who do good to other people?' " he said.
The experience humbled him and gave him a greater appreciation for the opportunities and freedoms available in the United States, he said.
"Before I went to jail, I was this big guy, I was out doing things. I was doing that and I was doing this. I was the mayor and I went to Washington and I went to Mexico City and I was all over the place," he said.
"When I went to jail, I realized, 'Guess what? You're absolutely nobody.' That has really changed my life," he said.
After he was released, he launched Centro de Ayuda and has since opened offices in Tucson and Casa Grande.
Immigration reform would strengthen the United States because it would legalize a huge segment of the work force, allowing people to open businesses and buy homes, he said.
The first step requires undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows to and speak up, he said. "Either put up or shut. Either show your faces and say, 'I love this country because it gives me a job' or leave it," he said.
The 20,000-person march in Phoenix and similar marches around the country last month has made an impact on federal lawmakers in Washington, said Audrey Singer, an immigration fellow for The Brookings Institute, which studies the effects of immigration.
"A lot of people were surprised with what they saw in the past couple of weeks," she said.
Lawmakers reactions, like the advocacy groups themselves, were divergent. "It cuts both ways — it's upsetting to a lot of people, and other people go, 'Oh wow. That's a lot of support,' " she said.

As some of you were aware, we lost our Irish Wolfhound just a short time back.
Her name was Maggie, and I was deeply touched by all of the posts by so many forum members...you guys (and gals) are certainly a great group of dog lovers.
We had immediately thought about getting another IW, but a little time has passed and we decided not to do anything at the present time.
This was Maggie as a younger pup...she will always be missed, and never forgotten.
I have no idea who the ugly guy with her is...
Several months ago, we got this little fellow, Gunner, a Rhodesian Ridgeback...about 6 months ago, actually. He was to be a companion to Maggie. It took some work, because Maggie was having no part of this aggressive little guy...and he was aggressive with her. She tolerated quite a bit from him, but would let him know that she was fully capable of taking charge, if necessary.
After a while, almost at 6 months, one evening the RR went over and laid on Maggie's bed with her...she said, "OK", we were shocked, but things were pretty good after that...until the bad day we had with Maggie, and lost her at the Univ/FL Vet just a short time ago.
Since that time, just a few short weeks, Gunner, our RR has kind of taken the lead in the house. He seemed to have missed his partner, but has now attached even more to me...follows me everywhere. And being retired, I seldom go anywhere without him.
This pic was posted when we first got Gunner...10 weeks old and just 14 lbs.
This is Gunner just a few days ago...just turned 8 months and tipped the scales at 107 lbs...still has a lot of growing to do.
He's not fully understanding the home protection idea yet, but he's very curious when looking out of the windows.
I've already taken him to my wife's K-4 classroom and he loved the kids. We take him to a farmer's market each Saturday that's loaded with other dogs and a ton of people with kids...he's adjusting very well.
We're going to just work on training and family time with Gunner...no other dogs for quite a while, I think...
May the dog lovers on the forum enjoy this post...I did it for ME as much as for anyone else.
Time heals all, but never erases memories.
Respectfully submitted,

Fairfax, Virginia - There's always something special to be found at the Nation's Gun Show in Chantilly, Virginia. Just a few miles down the road from NRA Headquarters at the Dulles Expo Center, the Gun Show promises more than two football fields of firearms and accessories. And this weekend, the 18th through the 20th specifically, the National Firearms Museum is bringing out something new from their Centennial 1911 Collection.
"The most popular pieces, like the Joe Foss .45, the Colt Model 1911 serial number 4, and a Luger from the 1907 trials will be there," said Senior Curator Doug Wicklund. "But we're bringing out a couple others too. The British Royal Air Corps pistol and the 1911 that helped chase down Pancho Villa."
The Royal Air Corps pistol is a .455 Colt Government Model that was carried by a pilot who mysteriously vanished back in 1917. The other 1911 pulled a vanishing act of its own. After being issued to a cavalry member of the 1916 Punitive Expedition in Mexico, this firearm made it's way to a WWI artillery unit in France when it was lost — only to turn up at Schofield Barracks in 1940.
To see these two beauties for yourself, head on over to the Nation's Gun Show this weekend at 4368 Chantilly Shopping Center in Chantilly, Virginia.

A call to all our fans! Our latest game has been announced!
Our newest game is called Rogue Legacy, a procedurally-generated Castlevania with an in-depth heritage system. super proud of it, but right now we need your help to get it on Steam.
If enjoyed the games made in the past, it would mean the world to us if you could visit the page below, and give us a vote on Greenlight.
http://steamcommunity.com /sharedfiles/filedetails/
UPDATE 5: We've uploaded a new version of the game that should hopefully resolve any key-rollover issues.
- The numpad keys can now be used to control the player.
- Q or W will drop quantum shadows.
- D or F will perform a tele-jump (you must be on the ground for this to work).
- The error causing lag issues on some computers has been resolved.
UPDATE 4: An official walkthrough for the game is up. If you're having trouble, you can view the video on YouTube at: www. youtube .com/watch?v=fX7YjMyNCTo
Hey all,
This is our second game and we're sad to say that it is NOT DSYP 2.
It's a puzzle platformer game with a twist. It's got a little bit of a learning curve to it, but if you stick with it, we think you'll like it a lot. It's also got a pretty cool ending if you can make it all the way.
Also, if you're ever insanely stuck, we have an optional level skip button that will be enabled if you're stuck on a stage for long enough.
Arrow Keys or Numpad - Move and Jump
W or Q - Drop Quantum Shadow
SPACE - Teleport
F or D - Telejump (game will press jump then teleport automatically for you).
Have fun!
love the game and the endings btw what is the secret medal?
I kept wondering what was new...
until I realized I already finished this game...like 3 or 4 times when it was first sponsored or on the frontpage. I never reviewed it though. I loved the game the first time around, it was fun, challenging, somewhat original. But I was driven to finish the game a few more times for the medals and the endings. It was kinda worth it. That's why it gets a 9 instead of a 10.
I love this game
it's sometimes hard, but atleast you always have a idea what you have to do (unless your a moron : euche euche some people below me euche euche (not you fox9er) :D
Good the first time threw mabye even after the second but the third threw 5th its just Tefious as all hell

I'm curious, since you've lost weight, are any of your family members or friends jealous of you? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this:)
Atkins - The Green Eyed MonsterView Full Version : The Green Eyed Monster JerseyGyrl 07-10-2008, 02:36 PM I'm curious, since you've lost weight, are any of your family members or friends jealous of you? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this:) CandyKisses0204 07-10-2008, 02:56 PM You know i was just thinking this today. Im not on atkins not am i even close to goal, but i thought i would still post. I feel like my best friend kinda tries to sabbotage me. I thinks its because she is jealous that i am losing and i will soon be lighter than her. She has always been smaller than me and we both started gaining a little weight. She is always making mean remarks about my diet. Telling me that im out of control and im taking this whole diet thing too serious. She freaked when i bought a kitchen scale. She is always wanting to go out to eat and while i go sometimes when i do say no she gets mad. She says i am taking away from "best friend" time. We have to plan dates cause we are both so busy. It used to be yoga at the gym then out to dinner. Well she has stopped going to the gym pretty much all together and i dont like to eat out 2 times a week. Cooking at one of our houses is just a fiasko cause there are too many people everywhere. I feel the one person that should be supporting me isnt. And i feel that she fears i may be smaller than her. And by x-mas i will! I just thought i could be her inspiration to get into shape cause she says she wants to, but doesnt do any thing about it. WOW anyway sorry for the rant. luckymommy 07-10-2008, 02:57 PM It's funny that you ask! I just ran into an old friend and she just couldn't get over my appearance. She, herself, is quite overweight and she just kept saying how I looked so good, but it was the way she said it. The tone was: :devil: you are a ***** and you've shocked me with your success. She kept asking me how I did it, but was very disappointed that I said I counted my calories and exercised a lot. :dizzy: Anyway, I hope she didn't jinx me! ;) snapless 07-10-2008, 06:51 PM Not really, but I don't keep much contact with my middle sister and I really think she's the only one who would try...she lives in TX and I live in Japan, it's not like I see her often.
