How to Know When You're On the Hook for Unauthorized Transactions
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's no question that payments fraud is a worrisome issue for most consumers. It's understandable too, seeing as losses resulting from credit and debit card fraud amounted to roughly $3.6 billion in 2010 (the most recent year for which data is yet available), according to The Nilson Report.
Still, there's also no question among those in the know that consumers don't have much to worry about. Card networks and issuers offer fairly comprehensive zero-dollar liability guarantees, and federal law provides another safety net, further reducing the likelihood that you'll incur fraudulent losses.
That's not to say you're always covered. Besides, even when you are shielded from ultimate financial loss, fraud can still be a major pain to deal with. That's why it's always important to understand when you are and are not liable, what steps you can take to mitigate hassle as well as monetary loss, and which spending vehicles will protect you best.
The fraud liability landscape
Card Hub's 2013 Consumer Fraud Liability Study helped shed some light on these matters, and the following are among its main findings:- All four major card networks -- Visa (V - Get Report), MasterCard (MA - Get Report), Discover (DFS - Get Report) and American Express (AXP - Get Report) -- boast $0 liability guarantees for unauthorized credit card transactions and signature debit card transactions.
- Consumer liability for PIN debit transactions depends on the card network as well as the manner in which the transactions are processed. Discover extends zero-dollar liability to debit card purchases "verified" by PIN, and American Express does not offer debit cards with PINs. Visa cardholders are covered only for unauthorized PIN debit transactions processed over Visa's network, but consumers have no way of knowing how a given transaction will be processed. MasterCard does not provide additional liability coverage for PIN debit transactions.
- While Discover and American Express don't hold customers liable for unauthorized ATM transactions, they account for a tiny portion of the ATM market. Visa and MasterCard policy pertains to most people, and those particular networks don't provide liability protections on top of what may be available from issuing banks and federal law.
- Federal law limits liability for unauthorized credit card and debit card transactions to $50 when reported within two business days and $500 when reported within 60 days. If you don't report suspicious account activity within 60 days, you may find yourself unprotected.
- Use a credit card as much as possible: Blanket fraud liability coverage from the major card networks isn't the only benefit to making a credit card your primary spending vehicle, though it's a very important one. Credit cards also make fraud easier to stomach from a psychological standpoint since you don't have to actually spend any of your own money until at least 21 days after your monthly statement becomes available. In other words, you'll have plenty of time to notice and sort out fraud before you become financially invested. With a debit card, on the other hand, funds are removed from your account in real time. You might therefore have to: deal with the shock of seeing an unexpectedly empty bank account; actually work to get your money back; and manage the ripple effect of bounced checks or a lack of funds for other obligations.
- Sign for debit card purchases: While about 85% of debit card fraud involves signature "verification," merchants and card networks are the ones liable for it, not you. The same cannot be said for PIN transactions, which means it's in your bank account's best interest to sign rather than input your four-digit code when using a debit cards.
- Monitor your accounts: It's always best to notify your card's issuer quickly of any fraudulent activity, especially since your ultimate liability depends on it in certain situations. Reviewing account activity on a weekly basis will enable you to react quickly if your account ever gets compromised.
- Exercise common sense: Doing things such as updating passwords regularly, not clicking on suspicious emails, being cautious about sharing financial information online, shredding financial documents before throwing them out and filling out the tip field on bills to prevent uncertainty will make it significantly more difficult for fraudsters to target you.

T in the Park 2012 came to a close in spectacular style last night with acts including Swedish House Mafia and Kasabian closing the three-day annual music festival.
Crowds of around 85,000 each day partied the weekend away, taking in performances from the likes of The Stone Roses, Nicki Minaj, Snow Patrol, Calvin Harris, Noel Gallagher and High Flying Birds, David Guetta, Example and Professor Green.
The mood couldn't be ruined, despite the soggy conditions caused by torrential rain downpours that persisted, turning some parts of the Balado site into a mud bath.
The conditions were so bad in fact that one venue, the Slam tent, was unable to open as scheduled – but T in the Park organiser Geoff Ellis said the music lovers wouldn't let a bit of rain ruin their mood.
"The weather definitely brought some challenges but we were prepared and our team worked extremely hard to keep things on track, which was no mean feat," he said.
"The overwhelming response from those that were here was that, regardless of the rain, they had an absolutely amazing time, whether they saw Simple Minds or Calvin Harris. That's not just down to a brilliant line-up - it's also due to the enormous amount of planning that we undertake and the strong partnerships we have with emergency services and stewards."
With 200 artists performing at this year's T, there was something to suit all tastes, from rock and pop to R&B, dance and classical all on offer, with Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti opening the Main Stage on Sunday.
Another Scot who took to the stage at this year's T in the Park included Emeli Sande, who said: "It was awesome. Wet, but it's such a cool thing to have played T in the Park. It's a teenage dream come true. The stage today was dry and it was amazing.
"Festivals are just such a good thing – you can relax, you can chill out, it's all about the energy as opposed to making everything note-perfect. So I really enjoyed it, just getting a bit loose. Me and the band had a great time. I really feel have broken into festivals now. I've got my festival legs!"
Speaking about the success of this year's festival, organiser Geoff said: "It's been another fantastic year. We have the best audience in the world here at T in the Park – our fans really make the festival, and this weekend they've proved that come rain or shine, the atmosphere is always incredible.
It was a dream come true to see The Stone Roses headline T in the Park, and a seminal moment in the festival's history. It was celebration enough to hit record attendance this year with 85,000 fans per day but next year for the 20th year we'll be pulling even more out the bag to ensure it will be the best birthday party T in the Parkers have ever seen."

Pending Legislation
9/11 Family Advocacy
Legislative Update
After September 11th, thousands of families faced not only the tragic loss of a loved one, but also anger and confusion about how the attacks were not prevented. In response, many family members created advocacy organizations to call for government reforms to prevent future attacks. Some of these groups were driven by a specific issue, others advocated for a variety of issues related to Homeland Security, recovery of remains at Ground Zero, and the 9/11 Memorial at the WTC site.
The following directory lists some of the many advocacy groups founded by 9/11 Family Members after the attacks. If you would like to add your group to the listing, please contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Family Steering Committee
The Family Steering Committee (FSC) is an independent, nonpartisan group of individuals who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. Its goals are to monitor progress of the Independent Commission and to keep the public informed about the Commissions work. (please note the website is no longer actively updated).
Peaceful Tomorrows
Peaceful Tomorrows is an organization founded by family members of those killed on September 11th who have united to turn our grief into action for peace. By developing and advocating nonviolent options and actions in the pursuit of justice, it hopes to break the cycles of violence engendered by war and terrorism. Acknowledging their common experience with all people affected by violence throughout the world, it works to create a safer and more peaceful world for everyone.
The Peaceful Tomorrows Steering Committee is composed of: Kelly Cambell, Loretta Filipoy, Patricio Grehan, Talat Hamdani, Colleen Kelly, John Leinung, Terry Rockefeller, John Titus, Bruce Wallace, and Adele Welty.
The World Trade Center United Family Group
Is a nonprofit group that is comprised of September 11th families, survivors and rescue workers from all over the United States and the world. It strives to provide emotional support to each other, protect the legacy and memory of the victims of the September 11th attacks, ensure an authentic perpetuation of the historic events and promote civic participation within its community and the general public. Its community, built on the principles of trust and shared experience, will serve as a living tribute to the thousands of innocent men, women and children murdered in the September 11th attacks on America.
The founder is Anthony Gardner (brother of Harvey Joseph Gardner III).
9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America
Is a non-partisan affiliation of 9/11 family members who view national security as the country's top priority. The group supports the U.S. military and endorses the doctrine of pre-emption, supported by the 9/11 Commission's statement on terrorist threats: "Once the danger has fully materialized, evident to all, mobilizing action is easier--but it then may be too late." The organization was formed to convey our support for the military and to provide a forum for news and commentary on matters of national security and of interest to 9/11 family members.
The Skyscraper Safety Campaign (SSC)
Its mission is to ensure the safety and security of all the people who live, work, or fight fires in hi-rise buildings. The goals of the group are to have a Federal Comprehensive Investigation into the collapse of the WTC, to encourage better compliance with building and fire codes, to enable Fire Service to have more input into writing Building Codes, and to ensure that all WTC development be safe and secure.
The Regenhard Family founded the organization in memory of Christian Regenhard.
WTC Families for Proper Burial
The advocacy group seeks to inform the public about the injustice of leaving the ashen remains of those lost on 9/11 in a landfill in Staten Island, and to push for relocation of all unidentified remains to the WTC Memorial or other appropriate site.
Diane and Kurt Horning and Arthur and Arlene Russo co-founded the group.

Fabrication of tailored Bragg gratings by the phase mask dithering/moving technique
- Miguel Melo,
- Paulo V. S. Marques
- … show all 2 hide
The most relevant aspects related to the phase mask dithering/moving method for the fabrication of complex Bragg grating designs are reviewed. Details for experimental implementation of this technique is presented, including theoretical analysis of the calibration functions for the correct dither/displacement. Results from tailored Bragg grating structures fabricated by this method are shown. Apodized Bragg gratings with modeled spatial profiles were implemented, resulting in side mode suppression levels of more than 20 dB in gratings showing transmission filtering level higher than 30 dB. Chirped gratings with the spectral bandwidth up to 4 nm, π-shift and sampled Bragg gratings with equalized peaks equally spaced by 0.8 nm (100 GHz) were also fabricated.

I just watched a great interview of photogrpaher Brigitte Lacombe. Videos like this make me fall deeper in love with photography. I just bought her book used on Amazon for dirt cheap. The only downside to buying used books from Amazon is that it takes between 4 – 14 days to ship. I hope the book arrives sooner than later.

I am trying to trace the givens family name back thru my Grandfather George Chester Givens, born I think in 1870 or 71 in Benton Arkansas. I beleve that his Fathers name was Michael. This branch may go back to a John Givens born in Virginia in 1763. The family seems to have lived in Oregon, Arkansas, Tenn. Virginia, and perhaps Georga. |

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Here you will find tons of information about healthy eating and incorporating the principles of healthy nutrition into your daily life. Built around Dr. Cederquist's nutritional foundation for healthy weight loss, these articles place a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
There are many misconceptions about home delivery diets. In this article, we will explore some of these misconceptions so that you can successfully shed those extra pounds and improve your overall health. The best home delivery diets give you a sense of discipline and make it easier, not harder, to reach your goals.
Misconception one: diet food will help you lose weight
Unfortunately, many people buy into the label of "diet" or "low-calorie", but a lot of these "diet foods" are frequently loaded up with chemicals that your body doesn't need. Many of these chemicals, such as artificial sweeteners, artificial food coloring and additives contribute to heart disease, diabetes and maybe even cancer. This is where home delivery diets come into play. They supply the food for you and take the guesswork out of the equation so you know exactly what you're eating.
Misconception two: fat is very bad for you
The idea that all fat is bad for you is just not true. There are good fats and your body needs them! Healthy fats, as you will find in nuts, seeds, olive oil and fish, are excellent for your body and for your health. In case you're stuck, home delivery diets will also provide healthy fat options.
What do you need in your meals?
What you need is good, solid, nutritional food. We are referring to food that not only contains vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but also a modest amount of healthy fat, quality protein and fiber. You might not always have the time to cook healthy meals so you turn to fast food or high calorie, processed junk food. This is the biggest mistake you can make.
And this is why savvy dieters like Lisa have researched the best home delivery diets and through her research, concluded that the best choice was bistroMD.
She feels like it was the best decision she ever made. Once she began replacing her fast food with the healthy food from bistroMD, she began losing weight and never felt better. When it comes to the best home delivery diets, Lisa feels that bistroMD was the clear winner, hands down.
Through bistroMD, she was able to gain a new understanding of portion sizes and this, in turn, helped her improve the health of herself and her entire family.

Fly Photography
LED DIY Light System
: One day last year I was thinking about how best to illuminate flies for photos when I thought of using a LED flashlight as a sort of spotlight. They were very cheap - $3 at the checkout of any office supply store - but pretty wimpy. I started checking to see what other options were available and was surprised to find that LED lights are already very popular among photographers.

Seven summers in the North Swedish wilderness is what Thomas Ohman has spent to get hours of recordings. Enough to tell his story. He climbed lots of obstacles to get the casts, fights and atmosphere framed in 16:9 format, but was it worth the effort?

Is this just for nerds or do you as angler get something out of knowing how accurate you can measure the temperature? For some, knowing the temperature may change the day from a disaster to success.
The Ugliest Flies
Martin has just received the ugliest flies he has ever seen in his life. And no, don't worry they weren't from a potential GFF contributor or a well meaning friend, but commercially tied. They just confirmed what he has always said: home tied flies are best.
Balance beam

Fly fishing leaders and tippets
Leaders fall in several categories. These all serve the same purpose: transmitting the energy fra the fly line to the fly in a gentle, yet firm way. The different types each have their advantages and disadvantages, and selecting one is often a question of compromises.
Harry Boyd
GFF's own bamboo rod expert and maker of these beautiful rods. Best known for his extremely popular series on making your own bamboo rods.
Braided sleeve and silicone tubing
There's an easy way to attatch the leader or backing to the fly line, and that's by using a piece of silicone tubing.

These loops are often refered to as Orvis loops. I don't know if Orvis invented them, but they do sell them -- and at high prices too.
Sullys Rod Drying Motor
I don't expect much from a rod drying motor. It should turn smoothly and hold a rod section securely while it turns. Bumps and wobbles and starts and stops are most unwelcome. Sections that come loose and stop turning are definite no-nos. An on-off switch is nice

Hughton inherited a squad that finished in a safe mid table position. He noted that we shipped a few too many goals and brought in a new defence, and thus far we have let in 39 goals in our 23 games.To aid our penetration we got Snoddy and a young kid from Spurs and the success of this is that only 3 teams have scored fewer goals .I still think there are 3 worse teams in this league than us and that we will not go down but its getting a little jittery. If we survive I feel it will be in spite of the manager and not because of him.

Displaying Instagrams
April 18, 2012
Over at Dotcoms for Moms this week, I share some ideas on displaying Instagram photos around your home including details on how I accomplished my Instagram collage.
It's a rainy and cloudy day in these parts, making it too dark shoot some projects (can't wait to share!) I'm working on, so I'll instead be focusing my efforts on the pile of laundry that is literally a small hill. Loads of clean laundry usually start out on my bed, but ultimately gets shoveled off to the floor at the end of the day. Good intentions!
Instagram Gallery
March 20, 2012
Yesterday, I posted a pic of this Instagram gallery on…Instagram and received such a positive response, I thought I'd share it here too. I was asked if it was a single print, but it is actually made up of 4×4″ Instagram prints laid out on poster board. My prints were ordered from PostalPix and the frame cost me $10 from Ikea. I know you can order a Instagram poster somewhere online, but I wanted to control the column spacing and have the images fit in a decent looking frame.
Wouldn't an entire wall of these make a statement? I plan on making a few for Mara's room. I love seeing these snapshots and being reminded of fun/silly/sleepy moments.
January 25, 2012
My friend Allison, who writes the awesome blog All for the Boys, did a fun post showcasing real boys' rooms. Click over to see what inspired her and view some other kid rooms in situ!
You can see that my boys' room is nearly devoid of any decor. Sad. I'd like to use the excuse that we've moved here only in July, but six months is ample time to at least get a couple photographs on the walls! So, I'll use the baby excuse instead. That one gets me out of all sorts of things! Besides, the boys are totally into decorating their room by themselves. See?
One thing I had never anticipated with raising boys is how sentimental they are with treasured objects. Now that they're a little older and more conscious of their living environment, they're wanting to save and display their creations or little prizes they earn. Time I start thinking of ways to organize it all.
And one last thought. Have any of you ever stumbled upon anything gross/weird in your kids room? For me it was a black, BLACK half-eaten banana hidden under Kai's bed. This AR mommy nearly had a heart-attack coming across that one!
For Baby Girl: Cloud Pillow
October 28, 2011
I really ought to be cleaning/nesting but making stuff is so much more fun.
My sewing skills are pedestrian at best, so I'm glad I was able to pull off this cloud pillow to the degree expected of myself (not very high). I even hand-drew the chevron pattern using a fabric marker. Brilliant idea by Mer that I've been wanting to try out.
A happy cloud is so apropos right now because it's going to be a rainy weekend.
Blanks to fill in
August 29, 2011
It'd be kinda great to have the baby room put together before she arrives. I have about 10 weeks to fill up the empty spaces and move out empty boxes (the vacant room has become a dumping ground of sorts). At least clothes shopping is moving along at a better pace. SO fun.

Help your kiddo learn science and math with calculators
When it comes to preparing for a new school year, a few items are essential: paper, pens, binders and a calculator. Younger kids may not be allowed to bring calculators to math class, but as children get older, they need calculators to help them find the answers to complex math and science problems. Whether your son or daughter is studying algebra, geometry, physics or chemistry, he or she will need a reliable calculator to count on during exams and study sessions. If your child's school supply kit doesn't include a quality calculator, check out Kmart's collection of scientific calculators, graphing calculators and more.
Scientific calculators solve complex problems
While basic calculators perform simple functions such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you'll need a graphing calculator or scientific calculator for more complicated math problems. If you or your child need to work with statistics or logarithms, invest in a high-quality graphing calculator from one of the renowned brands that Kmart carries. Scientific calculators are cheaper and less comprehensive than graphing calculators but can still perform functions such as square roots, degrees and exponents. Of course, a pen and paper is always a good back-up, so be sure to pick up a few writing instruments as well.

By the Book
Date: 7/16/2012
"There is no such thing as making the miracle happen spontaneously and on the spot. You've got to work." — Martina Arroyo
Dolores Bertoti has looked at this quote many times during the past four years and found solace. Martina Arroyo, an internationally acclaimed singer who rose to fame in the mid 1960s, was part of a group of black performers who were instrumental in breaking down the barriers of racial prejudice in the opera world.
Bertoti, an associate professor of occupational therapy and athletic training, has been working on her own miracle, co-authoring the 50th anniversary edition of Brunnstrom's Clinical Kinesiology. In 2006, publisher F.A. Davis approached Bertoti and another colleague, Peggy Houglum, a professor at Duquesne University, for the revision and update of the classic kinesiology text, first written by Swedish clinician Signe Brunnstrom in 1962.
The accomplished Alvernia faculty member herself learned on the second edition and says F.A. Davis's invitation was "the most distinguished I have ever received. This book is regarded as the gold standard kinesiology text." Bertoti did not accept the invitation just for the distinction; she explains in the acknowledgments of the textbook that "images of her students' eager faces" motivated her.
Brunnstrom's Clinical Kinesiology is a natural extension of her teaching, of Bertoti herself. "Students tell me when they read it, they can hear me talking," said Bertoti. "Peggy and I worked very hard to make the text palatable for students." Houglum and Bertoti also endeavored to makethe text more comprehensible for instructors as well. They completely updated the book's glossary and artwork, and provided an instructor's guide, syllabi, test banks and PowerPoints for instructors, as well as animated learning modules of key content on the Web.
Universities and instructors have adopted the text around the globe. "Peggy and I really hope this can be a wonderful tool in teaching therapists of the future and impact lives all around the world," said Bertoti.
Completion of her work on the book marks another miracle in Bertoti's life, her 25th year as a breast cancer survivor. In her office, she proudly displays a picture of her class donning pink hair and pink ribbons to show their support.
With Bertoti's infectious laugh and genuine passion for everything she does, it is easy to see why students are so devoted to "Saint Bertots" as she is known to some. Senior Samantha Boone says "Mrs. Bertoti has such a welcoming presence. She is always willing to help when there is a need. Her dedication to her students' educational experience is overwhelmingly contagious!"
Though Bertoti's work on Brunnstrom's Clinical Kinesiology will help her touch lives around the world, she is always focused on the lives right in front of her. "I feel so blessed to be with my students. I truly love what I do, where I do it and who I do it with."
By: Carly Glasmyre — a freelance writer and proud Alvernia graduate from the class of 2012.

Two things I can't stress enough is: 1) the importance of having the potatoes completely coated; no holes please, or the mashed potatoes will pour out of the holes once they hit the oil. 2) the importance of the rings being frozen solid before entering the oil…it just helps with the frying, that's all.

Swedish Back Grounder
In Sweden, a law prohibiting the purchase of sexual services is in force. An offence under this act is punishable by fines or a maximum of six months' imprisonment. Since its introduction, the incidence of street prostitution has fallen sharply. The act has also made it possible for the police to take action against brothels and other actors in the prostitution industry. The Swedish law criminalizes the buyer - usually a man - not the prostituted woman. The latter must be given the opportunity and support to exit. Professional groups that come in contact with these women often declare that they have never met a single prostituted woman who is real happy with her life.
The Swedish women have worked both within and outside Parliament and the political parties. Within the parties we have worked to get more women into executive positions and have emphasized issues that have been important to all women. Outside the parties there have been many women who have been active in the unions and various voluntary organizations.
The entry of Swedish women into decision-making assemblies has introduced new issues into politics. For example welfare issues such as child care, health care, education etc. have grown in importance. Women's entry has also meant that such issues as violence against women, sexual harassment and unreasonable pay differences between women and men have entered into the political debate. It is no longer men who decide on their own, which subjects that are important in Swedish politics.
Women know that only by being economically independent, in the same way as men had been for many years, could women obtain the opportunity to combine employment and political and social participation with family life.
Here are some hints to be able to better enjoy your experience with a Swedish woman.
1) When you open your conversation, say something that fits the personal profile of the woman whom you are contacting. Don't use a standard bar 'pick-up'lines.
2) Write a personal note. Do not send out a form letter. Be specific. Form letters turn women off.
3) Give a lot more information about yourself than you put into your own personals advertisement.
4) Be sure to give the directions to your personal profile so that she can see what you have put up.
5) Be patient. She may not live on the computer. She may be on vacation, on a business trip or sick. Give her time. Wait a couple weeks and follow up.
6) Be polite and be positive.
There are a lot of women that have put their information in the dating services because they are looking. So be polite, create trust and you will find someone that fits your desires.

Pet peeves on the road
Things don't need to be any harder on the road, and the few things I've noticed that do make it worse could be easily remedied.
Facial hair swings both ways
There's a guy out there in an old Mack somewhere who has a three foot long, white beard he parts in the middle and throws over his shoulders like Rapunzel's locks.
Dealing with unexpected things
People acted like they didn't know we were coming. "What? You've got a truckload full of stuff we ordered? How did that happen?"
Warnings of rattlesnakes and other disturbing signage
I have noticed the closer you get to downtown in big cities, the number of DUI attorney billboards grows exponentially.
Keeping gnomes and frogs at bay
I squinted out over the lot and saw, to my amazement, an entire army of garden gnomes. They were absolutely terrifying.
Not noticing the oddities of life on the road
It's crazy out there, and I love it. Nothing is ever the same, there's always something to look at.
'No' means 'no,' you little tyrant
It's a busy season at the travel plaza, families are out in droves during the summer, forcing their bratty children upon the innocent public.
Those annoying truck stop peacocks
We've been sleeping at truck stops this trip. Mostly because it's been convenient and there are showers, but also because even in the wide open spaces of the Dakotas, no one wants to let a ...

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Archive
As you search for information about studying in the United States, you can enter in the search box below some key words or a question you would like an answer to, or you can look in one of the nine categories of most frequently asked questions listed below. If you speak Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, French, Spanish, Russian or Portuguese, please select your language from the pull down box below, and you will see these topic areas change to the selected language.
The terms, college and university, are used interchangeably and mean the same thing in the U.S. As a general rule, colleges tend to be smaller and usually offer only undergraduate degrees, while a university also offers graduate degrees. Within each college or university you will find schools, such as school of arts and sciences or the school of business.
A high school education is usually required to become an undergraduate university student. Many institutions will not accept international students who are younger than age 17. There are sometimes exceptions to that general rule.
The Academic year will be slightly different for each university but normally runs from end of August/early September to the end of May. It may be divided into two terms of 18 weeks called semesters. Alternatively, the university may have "quarters" or "trimesters", which are about 12 weeks in length. In addition, universities very often provide six to eight week summer terms. These are optional and students attend if they wish to get through their degree faster, to decrease their course load during the regular terms, or to make up for courses not completed successfully during the regular academic year. There are at least two main holidays during the academic year: a two to four week break over Christmas and a one week "spring break†sometime between early March and mid April.
UNDERGRADUATE: A program leading to an associate (2-year) or a bachelor's (4-year) degree; generally following high/secondary school.
GRADUATE: A program leading to a master's degree or doctoral degree; advanced study generally following a bachelor's degree.
Degree granted by a college or university after the satisfactory completion of a two year full time program of study or its part time equivalent. The associate of arts (A.A.) or associate of science (A.S.) degree is granted after students complete a program of study similar to the first two years of a four year college curriculum. The associate in applied science (A.A.S.) is awarded by many colleges on completion of technological or vocational programs of study. Associate degree programs may be "terminal" programs, which lead into specific careers upon graduation, or "transfer" programs, which correspond to the first two years of a bachelor's degree and tend to be more liberal arts based. Under the latter option one could then transfer into the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program.
Bachelors or Baccalaureate Degree
Degree received after the satisfactory completion of a four or five year full time program of study or its part time equivalent at a college or university. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) are the most common baccalaureates. There is no absolute difference between the degrees, and policies concerning their award very from college to college. International students cannot generally study part-time and must maintain full-time status during the academic year. One of the most attractive features of the bachelor's degree program in the United States is that it is highly flexible. You can usually choose from a wide variety of courses and create your own unique program of study. The degree is awarded after you complete a specified number of credits. The first year of study is called the freshman year; the second is called sophomore; the third, junior; and the fourth, senior.
Master's Degree
A master's degree is designed to provide additional education or training in the student's specialized branch of knowledge, well beyond the level of baccalaureate study. Master's degrees are offered in many different fields, and there are two main types of programs: academic and professional. A person who finishes graduate school in the U.S. earns an M.A., M.S. or Ph.D. degree (Master of Arts, Master of Science or Doctorate of Philosophy). The Ph.D. is the highest scientific degree in the U.S. This degree usually requires at least three years of study and a dissertation defense. M.A. or M.S. degrees are awarded after two years of graduate studies.
• Academic Masters: The Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S.) degrees are usually awarded in the traditional arts, sciences, and humanities disciplines. The M.S. is also awarded in technical fields such as engineering and agriculture. Original research, research methodology, and field investigation are emphasized.
• Professional Masters: These degree programs are designed to lead the student from the first degree to a particular profession. Professional master's degrees are most often "terminal" master's programs, meaning that they do not lead to doctoral programs. Such master's degrees are often designated by specific descriptive titles, such as master of business administration (M.B.A.), master of social work (M.S.W.), master of education (M.Ed.), or master of fine arts (M.F.A.). Other subjects of professional master's programs include journalism, international relations, architecture, urban planning, public administration (M.P.A.), and public policy (M.P.P.).
Doctoral Degrees
A doctoral degree is designed to train research scholars and, in many cases, future college and university faculty members. Receipt of a doctoral degree certifies that the student has demonstrated capacity as a trained research scholar in a specific discipline.
At the doctoral level, the Ph.D. (doctor of philosophy) is the most common degree awarded in academic disciplines. Other doctoral degrees are awarded primarily in professional fields, such as education (Ed.D. or Doctor of Education) and Business Administration (D.B.A. or Doctor of Business Administration). Doctoral programs involve advanced coursework, seminars, and the writing of a dissertation that describes the student's own original research, completed under the supervision of a faculty adviser.
The Ph.D. degree is awarded to those students who complete an original piece of significant research, write a dissertation describing that research, and successfully defend their work before a panel of faculty members who specialize in the discipline. This may take an additional two to three years. To earn a Doctoral Degree it may take anywhere from five to eight years beyond the bachelor's degree, depending on the field of study.
Essentially there is no difference, rather online studies is one of many means of distance learning (distance education). Distance education is a type of formal learning in which student and instructors are in different places. It may be synchronous or asynchronous. If distance education is synchronous, instruction is given at a particular time and, usually, at specific locations. If distance education is asynchronous, instruction can be received by students wherever and whenever they desire, as long as they have access to the Internet or, in the case of correspondence education, to the mail.
Distance education can be accomplished through:
• Mail
•Telephones and voicemail
• One-way or interactive radio, television, satellite, audio, or video transmission
• Video cassette recorders (VCRs) or CD-ROMs
• Email and Online
For more detailed information on Distance Education please go to the following website: (will need to link to "distance education†section within the Short-Term Study section on the research choices & test section off the students home page
Students transfer every year from other countries into U.S. degree programs and successfully complete their degrees. However, the structure of degrees in other countries rarely matches the structure of U.S. degrees, making the transfer process more complicated. The types of institutions in other countries also vary from those in the United States.
The transfer institution needs to consider a number of factors when granting credit for the courses you have taken at a non-U.S. institution. You may consider the following factors on which U.S. colleges & universities typically make decisions:
• Is your university or college recognized by the ministry of education in your country?
U.S. colleges are looking for institutions that are recognized by a ministry of education; however, if some other authority approves your college, it may still be acceptable. Decisions vary from college to college and often depend on what the situation would be for a similar college in the United States.
• How similar is the nature or character of the courses you have taken to those offered at the transfer institution?
U.S. schools usually assess similarity by looking at information from course descriptions, syllabi, or catalogs. If your institution is not well known in the United States, the college may have to do a more detailed evaluation with you when you arrive, and only then decide whether and how to grant transfer credit.
• How applicable are your courses toward the degree, and in particular the major, that you wish to pursue?
This will often involve evaluation of the courses by both the admissions office and the academic department to which you wish to be admitted. They will look at whether courses can be accepted for transfer credit first, and then at whether they can count toward the requirements for a specific major.
Applying courses toward a particular major is most difficult for professional programs such as engineering, architecture, or journalism, where course requirements are carefully structured and often dictated by accrediting bodies for the profession.
To make the transfer process run as smoothly as possible, you are advised to make sure all academic records provided are official and bear the original stamp or seal of the issuing institution. Submit course descriptions in English for all post-secondary courses taken. They should also include:
• Summaries or outlines of the major topics covered in each course (If an outline is not available, write a summary yourself and have it certified by your school as accurate.)
• The number of units or hours required in lecture and laboratory for each course on a weekly basis
• The length of the term or academic year, and, if it is not given elsewhere, the year in which you took the course
• Prepare a list of textbooks used in each course as this will help in any decisions that are made after you arrive at the campus about whether to grant credit for particular courses
• Provide information on the total number of courses, credits, or units required for the diploma or degree program from which you are transferring
Students who transfer into a U.S. institution may also be able to receive credit for their secondary school work if it is considered to be comparable to introductory college-level work in the United States. Ask each college about its own policy on this issue.

Colombian army accused of killing civilians and labeling them guerrillas.
LA MACARENA, Colombia — When Colombian military units receive an increase in U.S. aid, they allegedly kill more civilians and frame the deaths as combat kills, according to a new report.
The report, released Thursday by two American human rights organizations, raises serious questions about the implications of U.S. military aid to Colombia. The United States has provided more than $7 billion in mostly military aid to Colombia since 2000 for fighting drugs and counterinsurgency — making it the largest recipient of U.S. military aid after Israel.
The army is accused of killing civilians and presenting them as guerrillas killed in combat to pump body counts. The Colombian military faces significant political pressure to produce concrete results in its war against the the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), the country's left-wing guerrilla insurgency.
Many point to the macabre practice — euphemistically known as producing a "false positive" — as a result of an unofficial incentive-based system that rewards high numbers of combat kills with job perks and promotions. Colombia's attorney general's office is investigating more than 2,000 alleged cases of false-positives committed by the armed forces.
The report was based on a two-year study using records of 3,000 reported extrajudicial killings since 2002 and lists of 500 military units approved to receive U.S. assistance. It found that in regions that received the largest increases in U.S. aid, the number of reported extrajudicial killings surged 56 percent on average in the four years surrounding the aid boost. When U.S. assistance was withdrawn or reduced, the number of army killings of civilians dropped.
The Fellowship of Reconciliation and the U.S. Office on Colombia published the report. The U.S. Embassy declined to comment.
Most U.S. military aid has come in the form of equipment, training, intelligence and anti-narcotics efforts such as the fumigation of coca crops.
At the heart of U.S.-backed efforts is the region of Meta, a traditional guerrilla stronghold of vast savannah and river networks. Parts of Meta were demilitarized as part of the failed 1999-2002 peace talks between the government and the FARC. The guerrillas used a cease-fire to strengthen their presence in the region. As a result, it became a priority for President Alvaro Uribe's government to recover the territory from the guerrillas and Meta received a massive injection of government troops.
While the Colombian government has been credited with restoring security to many parts of the country, many residents interviewed in various hamlets and towns in Meta said their security situation has worsened as a result of the military presence. They complain that the armed forces indiscriminately accuse all inhabitants of being, or collaborating with, guerrillas simply because they live in a formerly guerrilla-controlled area.
As a result, "the impact of the war for the civilian population has increased," said Edinson Cuellar, a lawyer with the Orlando Fals Borda Lawyers Collective, a group that monitors human rights violations in the region.
In a hamlet in Meta's interior, military troops patrol through the intersection of a pot-holed dirt road lined by mostly abandoned homes. Many have fled over the last several years as a result of violence or because of worsening economic conditions.

Pertinent Insights On Ankle Arthroscopy
There are three less commonly used portals that authors have described in the arthroscopic literature. The anatomical sites of these less commonly used portals have an increased risk of damaging nerves or blood vessels. Surgeons should only use these portals if they are unable to access the pathology within the joint from the three principal and safest portals I described previously.
The central anterior portal is located just lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon at the level of the tibiotalar joint. The anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve are at high risk for injury with this approach.
The posteromedial approach is located just medial to the Achilles tendon at the level of the joint line. This portal puts the posterior tibial vessels, tibial nerve, medial calcaneal nerve and flexor hallucis longus tendon at risk with this technique.
The final portal described in ankle arthroscopy is a transmalleolar approach through the lateral malleolus. Guhl described the lateral malleolar portal in 1988 for accessing osteochondral defects on the posterior aspect of the talus.4
Ensuring Appropriate Instrument Selection
After performing incisions and blunt dissection to the level of the capsule, the surgeon can use a trocar or an obturator to pierce the joint capsule and employ a cannula to maintain the portals after their establishment. Trocars are solid rods with a sharp pyramidal tip while an obturator is a solid rod with a blunt tip. The obturator is a much safer instrument for establishing a portal and surgeons should use this whenever possible to decrease the chance of damaging healthy cartilage when establishing the portals.
There is a wide array of instrumentation for arthroscopy. Paramount on this list is the arthroscope with a camera and light source to allow the surgeon to visualize the intra-articular space on a monitor. The camera comes in three different lens angles, which one can orient 0, 30 or 45 degrees from the shaft of the arthroscope. The angled lenses allow the surgeon to view the tibial or talar cartilage without the need to angulate the arthroscope and possibly score healthy cartilage with the camera.
Insert the camera into the joint through a cannula, which helps to maintain the portal during the procedure. The ingress and egress of fluid through the instrumentation aid in distending the joint space and synovium to maximize visibility within the joint. One can use lactated Ringer's solution as it is the most physiologic fluid readily available.
Once the pathology is visible, there are a variety of instruments you can use to treat the patient. These include shavers, abraders, cutters, specialized instrumentation for grasping loose bodies, curettes and lasers. All of the equipment for ankle arthroscopy is available in different diameters with 2.7 mm and 4.0 mm instruments being the most commonly used sizes for the ankle joint.
A Brief Overview Of Four Terms For Instrument Manipulation
Ankle arthroscopy has four main terms that describe how surgeons manipulate the instrumentation within the joint.
• Scanning is the use of the camera to inspect the entire joint line visually. It allows the surgeon to locate the pathology and assess for further injuries that he or she may not have previously identified.
• Triangulation involves orienting the camera lens and an instrument within the ankle joint at the point of pathology at the same time. This principle allows the surgeon to inspect the pathology while the instrument manipulates it and visualize the location as the treatment occurs.
• Pistoning is the advancement and withdrawal of the camera within the joint space as the camera scans the joint. Pistoning allows the inspection of the talar neck, synovium and ankle gutters and recesses.
• The final basic principle of arthroscopy is rotation. Rotation enables one to visualize the areas around the lens in all directions without pistoning the camera.

You know what REALLY pisses me off? Getting the perfect team comp full of cooperative nice players that listens to each other. Getting the perfect comp you're looking for. And at the last 5 seconds, some doochebag in enemy team dodges. You get queued again, and suddenly you end up with someone who picks AP Miss Fortune or Sejuani solo top and suddenly you learn exactly WHY someone in the opposite team dodged in the previous queue, and you never ever get such a perfect team ever again. And since Riot isn't doing enough about champion select trolls and others who force people to dodge... So here is my request. If the game gets disbanded because someone in OPPOSING team dodges, allow the players team that didn't have a dodger the option to queue together. If one player presses no, then the one that pressed yes will stick together and be matched by any player to fill the gap. Not everyone is lucky enough to have 5 friends irl who happens to like MOBAs and happens to like LoL and happens to be able to arrange a play session you know. Unless you're one of those people who locks in with Clarity+Revive to force a dodge whenever you don't get a role you want, there's no reason to oppose this feature. Or alternatively........ Give us a Vote-Kick Option. Afraid premades will abuse it? Then turn it off for premades so that only random players may vote-kick.
I like your primary idea, having the option to stick with the team you were matchmade with when a player on the opposing team dodges. I've had this situation in ranked, where I've really looked forward to playing with the team, but then the other guys dodge and I lose that awesome team. +1
Senior Member
Votekick would be heavenly
Yep...it sure would have prevented last game's loss...
This should go for both sides actually, whether you have a troll/dodger or not. If you say yes, the matchmaker tries to match you with others who said yes, and if you said no, then the matchmaker tries not to match you with anyone else on your team. A null value would ignore the choice, re-matching you as it otherwise would.
Roit pls.
.........I hate skin sales. Had to dodge a game because someone auto-locked Zyra mid, then said "first time Zyra" and so she could play her on her ****ty Wildfire skin. ...we already had a support and AP mid.

Ellie Goulding by the Numbers: From Lights and Halcyon to Ex-BF Skrillex
Sure, you know all the lyrics to her hit song "Lights." Well, you know the chorus. You know she's British. You know she had a love thing with banger bro Skrillex. And you know she has a beautiful soprano voice and a thoughtful, nuanced delivery.
But in today's world of social connectivity and celebrity worship, that's, like, nothing! So before catching Ellie's intimate performance at the Fillmore, get to know the "Starry Eyed" singer-songwriter and her work a bit better. This is Ellie Goulding by the numbers.

She was born December 30, 1986, in a small village called Lyonshall in Herefordshire. She's the second of four children. She learned to play guitar and started writing songs at 15. So you could say she's been writing for more than a decade!
In the U.K., Goulding's home country, a single is classified as platinum each time it sells 600,000 units. And Ellie's megahit single "Lights" has gone platinum three times. She's a huge deal over there. Following Adele, she's the second artist ever to both top the BBC's annual Sound Of poll and win the Critic's Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year. Oh, and she sang at Prince William's wedding.

The New American | June 6 2012
Florida State Attorney Angela Corey, who is prosecuting George Zimmerman for second-degree murder in the killing of Trayvon Martin, reportedly threatened to sue Harvard University over the barrage of stinging criticism made by law Professor Alan Dershowitz about the controversial prosecution. The well-known professor publicized the threats on Tuesday.
According to Dershowitz's account, in a recent phone call to the Ivy League law school made by the special prosecutor, Corey said she would seek to have the Bar Association discipline him for his harsh comments about alleged prosecutorial misconduct. Corey also warned Harvard of potential legal action against Dershowitz for alleged libel and slander, the professor said.
But if the goal was to intimidate or silence Professor Dershowitz, Corey failed miserably. In his widely published statement about the threats, Dershowitz, citing the unalienable right to freedom of speech, continued to lambaste the special prosecutor for what he said was her deliberate effort to mislead the court by hiding the facts. And he promised to continue speaking out on this case and any others of his choosing.
"Even if Angela Corey's actions were debatable, which I believe they were not, I certainly have the right, as a professor who has taught and practiced criminal law nearly 50 years, to express a contrary view," wrote Dershowitz, probably the most outspoken and high-profile critic of the prosecution so far.
His public statements on the issue have been widely cited in media reports, and apparently the attacks infuriated Corey. But Dershowitz stood firm despite the threats, adding a new level of criticism against the prosecutor in a case that — due largely to overwhelming publicity and political opportunism — has divided much of the nation.
"The idea that a prosecutor would threaten to sue someone who disagrees with her for libel and slander, to sue the university for which he works, and to try to get him disbarred, is the epitome of unprofessionalism," Dershowitz added. "Fortunately, truth is a defense to such charges."
