As part of larger Gates Foundation effort, new panel aims to reimagine federal aid design and delivery to improve student outcomes. The effort is stoking suspicions.
The Department of Education admits failing to include black students in its calculation of loan repayment rates in run-up to gainful employment. The mistake will fuel for-profit claims of unfair treatment by feds.
Community college enrollment drops slightly, but two-year institutions remain crowded after years of record growth.
A budget compromise would slightly increase funding for the National Institutes of Health and change eligibility for the largest federal grant program for college students.
Seemingly from the day it was created in 1992, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, has been a popular target for reform. The Obama administration shortened the time it takes to finish the form by two-thirds and created an automated tool so families can import their tax data. And now there's a competition to see who can drop more of the FAFSA's 105 questions. The president's latest budget targets 30 questions for removal, while a bipartisan group of senators led by Lamar Alexander, the Tennessee Republican now in charge of the committee that covers higher education, wants to go even farther -- shortening the FAFSA to just two questions that could fit on a postcard.
Making the FAFSA less of a burdensome impediment to financial aid receipt and reform is a laudable goal. But the obsessive "who can go lower" approach to simplifying the FAFSA is misdiagnosing the disease. FAFSA's problem is not its length -- it's the frequency that it's required.
Reducing the number of FAFSA questions gets at a very specific problem -- the annual burden associated with completing the form. Doing so would free families from the yearly process of digging up complex tax, asset and other income data.
But as Michael Stratford discussed recently in Inside Higher Ed, removing FAFSA questions comes with its own set of concerns. In particular, colleges and most states do not have unlimited entitlement funds for financial aid, so they want as much data as possible, in order to vary the price charged to students to a degree that would make the airlines jealous. Take away that data by bringing the form down to two questions and you may just drive the creation of additional forms like the dreaded and expensive CSS Profile.
Fortunately, there's a middle path that accomplishes the goal of reducing burden while still giving colleges and states the data they need to make nuanced decisions: a one-time FAFSA.
Since students would still fill out a detailed form, colleges would have the data they need to parcel out resources. They just would not have new information to do so year after year.
For students, the FAFSA would become more like any other part of the college application process, which is full of one-time submissions like essays and transcripts. This includes the Department of Education's master promissory note, which only needs to be filled out once to receive federal student loans. And it would reduce the chances that students would lose financial aid solely because they failed to reapply the following year -- a problem that professors Sara Goldrick-Rab and Robert Kelchen identified in a post on a similar proposal in 2013.
What families and students would get in return for this one-time burden is something that could never be earned in any annual application process, regardless of length: predictability. Few students entering college have any idea what their financial aid might be beyond the first year. And they will not know for sure until they actually apply for aid again. A shorter form can help families more accurately predict what they might receive -- but it's still an estimate, not a given.
A one-time FAFSA would make it possible to promise a student on day one what their aid package would look like for the rest of their undergraduate career. Families could use that information to budget and plan for costs in a way they cannot today. It could also be a huge help for low-income students considering different college options, since they would know exactly what support they could count on from the federal government at the same time they submit applications.
Only requiring the FAFSA a single time is a required step for many proposals for reforming federal student aid. For example, House Republicans proposed last year to create a flex account for Pell Grants. Students would be told upon entering college the total amount of Pell aid they are entitled to throughout their whole education and then would be allowed to spend it down as they took classes. It's an intriguing idea that could send a strong message to students about just how much money they can get for college. But it's also an empty promise for students under the current system, since the account balance would have to be recalculated each year.
Many of the most common objections to a one-time FAFSA could be addressed with simple tweaks. For example, it should pull in multiple years of older data so families cannot manipulate their income for a single year to appear poorer and get better aid. Students who see significant downward financial changes, such as a parent losing a job, could either follow the existing process of appealing to the financial aid office or refile for federal aid. And while it would be better to worry less about the unlikely cases that students see massive income increases, a threshold test could be added to only require new FAFSAs if income went up by very large dollar amounts, such as $20,000.
More broadly, moving to a one-time FAFSA system sends a message of simplicity and flexibility that extends far beyond paperwork. It makes the financial aid system less about obsessing over one's ability to pay in a single year to a longer-term assessment of financial circumstances that are probably not changing a great deal on an annual basis anyway. It builds in a tolerance for some income growth without making families go back through the hoop-jumping process. And in a world where tuition increases are an annual uncertainty, it could be a welcome source of predictability for students.
If the goal of financial aid simplification is really to make the process easier and more predictable for students and families, then the emphasis should be predictability, not a postcard.

With President Obama's new proposal to greatly expand federal support for community colleges getting all the attention, many on Capitol Hill want to bring back a large program tailor-made for the students who attend these institutions – one that the president himself led the charge to cut.
In late 2008, President Bush and a Democratically controlled Congress fixed one of the Pell Grant program's biggest flaws. A student who attended full-time for two semesters would exhaust her grant such that if she wanted to attend an additional semester that year (say in the summer) she would have to do so without any federal grant aid. Yet when the calendar flipped to the next school year a few months later, she'd have access to another Pell Grant. The solution to this problem was always obvious: Let her access next year's grant sooner.
With the 2008 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, lawmakers finally allowed that to happen. The so-called year-round Pell Grant became available on July 1, 2009, although most grants likely were not awarded until the summer of 2010. Shortly thereafter, the Obama administration -- with the help of Congress -- shocked the higher education community and ended it to solve a budget crisis within the overall Pell Grant program.
Many believe that, despite the elegant simplicity of a year-round Pell Grant, the original version somehow got it wrong thanks to bureaucratic incompetence, abuse, or an ill-conceived design, which caused its costs to explode. Those views are hampering calls to reinstate the policy. Worse yet, the purported flaws in the policy are more myth than reality. Our new paper, "Myths and Misunderstandings: The Undeserved Legacy of Year-Round Pell Grants" (Jan. 22), argues that year-round Pell Grants did not suffer from any design flaws and that many of these explanations are erroneous. We highlight some below.
Many understand that year-round Pell Grants cost far more than budget experts and policy makers expected, implying that unexpected costs were unreasonable. It turns out that those higher costs were not due to some feature of the year-round grant. Every part of the Pell Grant program ultimately cost more in 2010 and 2011 than predicted, driven by a combination of increased benefits, eligibility changes, and the economic recession. Had policy makers never enacted the year-round grant, the cost of the Pell Grant program would still have spiked, peaking at $33.6 billion instead of $35.7 billion in the 2010-11 school year.
Still, many are under the impression that a year-round grant should not increase the cost of the overall Pell Grant program at all, so something must have been wrong. After all, students who use two years' worth of grant aid on two years' worth of classes theoretically would receive the same amount of Pell Grants whether they take one year or two to complete those courses.
Federal budgeting principles, however, mean that any year-round Pell Grant program must appear as an increase in spending on Pell Grants equal to the amount of year-round grants disbursed. That is because a year-round grant pulls funding forward from a future, yet-to-be drafted spending bill, and makes it appear on the current bill. Spending on the current bill is thus higher. The effect is no different in a multi-year budget window -- as long as one assumes the Pell Grant Program exists in perpetuity.
The Department of Education is another common scapegoat for the unexpectedly high cost of year-round Pell Grants. Under this reasoning, the department loosened eligibility rules beyond Congressional intent so that more students benefited and received more money. Instead, we found that the department narrowed the scope of the year-round program so much so that its rules were originally viewed within the higher education community as too restrictive.
The department's rule was stricter than it could have been because it did not allow students to collect year-round grants only because they had exhausted their regular grants for the year, as some desired. Student aid advocates argued that students should qualify for year-round grants simply because they had used up one year's worth but were enrolling in more classes. The department disagreed and argued that students needed to demonstrate that they were "accelerating" progress toward a degree by some other standard than simply taking more classes.
At the same time, the department's interpretation was looser than the most restrictive option possible because it made eligibility contingent on students' first accumulating a certain number of credits in a year, not overall progress toward a degree. A student did not need to demonstrate he was going to finish a credential early, in other words. Even so, those provisions were not so loose that they would have dramatically expanded the year-round Pell Grant beyond what Congress intended, nor should they have meaningfully increased the cost beyond initial expectations.
Another erroneous argument one hears often in the policy community is that due to a design quirk, the year-round Pell Grant program provided 50 percent more benefits than intended as students inadvertently received two full Pell Grants in a single year. Costs were therefore higher than expected.
Consider, however, that the department awarded year-round grants by the same calculations used during the rest of the year. A student who earned a school year's worth of credit and enrolled for an additional semester, such as a summer semester, would receive an additional grant worth no more than what he would receive in any other semester. As a result, the average year-round Pell Grant was $1,700, which was less than half of the average $3,833 annual grant then.
Perhaps the most disingenuous claim about the year-round Pell Grant came from the Obama administration, which argued in early 2011 that the program "has not yet shown any evidence" that it encouraged students to accelerate their studies. That's true, but misleading. The timing between implementation and the proposed elimination of the policy was such that there could be little evidence to judge the program, positively or negatively, on that measure.
The Obama administration proposed eliminating the program in February 2011, in a budget that was likely developed in the late fall of 2010. Only one round of year-round grants had been issued by that point, mostly in the summer of 2010. That would have given the administration one year's worth of information about how the year-round program was performing, hardly enough time to gauge whether students had accelerated their coursework. Furthermore, the information would not have provided a perfectly accurate snapshot of the year-round grant. Schools implemented the year-round Pell Grant under their own interpretation of the program that year as regulations produced by the department had yet to take effect.
The timing of the proposal also calls into question whether the Obama administration could have obtained reliable data about the year-round grants issued in the summer of 2010 in time to make its claims in a budget proposal developed in late 2010. If it had obtained such data, it did not release them or any related statistics.
Separating facts from misinformation regarding the year-round Pell Grant will help policy makers enact sensible policy changes in the future. Today's higher education students increasingly do not fit the profile for which the Pell Grant program was originally designed. The year-round Pell Grant was a much-needed modernization of the program and it should be reinstated.
Jason Delisle is director of the Federal Education Budget Project and Ben Miller is higher education research director for New America, in Washington.
With the country's focus on college access and success, policy leaders are taking a close look at the Pell grant program, which is our country's principal college financial aid program. This issue is especially timely with the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act on the horizon. One policy expert, Complete College America, has recommended moving Pell Grant eligibility for full-time status from a required course load of 12 credit hours to 15.
In a research brief by Complete College America called "The Power of 15 Credits," the group makes a good case (citing data on first-time enrollees) that the larger credit load does, indeed, have an impact -- and improved students' chances of earning a degree.
But is it that true for everyone?
What about the nontraditional or adult learner? Only 16 percent of higher education enrollments are 18- to 22-year-old full-time undergraduate students residing on campus. Adult students over 25 years old make up 38 percent of the college population. For these adult students, a 15 credit-hour load per semester is not realistic given current student supports.
Many of these students are returning adults with some college, but no degree. They are often juggling full-time jobs and family obligations that they must balance against their dreams of a college degree. In fact, almost a third of college students are working full-time. Should all these students be required to quit their jobs and take on more debt than what they already have so they can take 15 hours of classes? Requiring them to take 15 hours might cause them to give up their studies altogether.
Promoting the 15 hours per semester message for all students comes with a real risk. Most jobs of the future will require workers to possess postsecondary credentials. If we insist on requiring 15 credits for financial aid to the 80 million working adults who do not yet have a degree, we could seriously damage our nation's workforce productivity by cutting off access to education and training for low-income workers. Instead of creating more obstacles, we should be looking for ways to address the challenges already facing adult students by:
At the end of the day, we can all agree on the importance of having a college education. We can also agree that having a more educated population is an overall advantage for our country. However, we cannot take a one-size-fits-all approach to the number of semester hours students should take. While encouraging students to finish their studies as soon as possible, we should also be finding ways to promote success at a pace that is reasonable for them.

Lawmakers' overhaul of higher education tax benefits gives colleges and universities things to cheer and protest. They also approve a bill to boost student loan counseling.

Papyrus: The Font?[edit]
This article fails to mention the modern "Papyrus" font. If HTML is allowed here, let me show you Papyrus: This is the font Papyrus. Papyrus is a great font. AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz - Wabty
Older Comments[edit]
Isn't papyrus made of the pith of the plant?
Em Dash[edit]
I see you (Hajor) have accepted that the correct form here is the m-dash and not the dash. My own personal preference is to include spaces on each side of the m-dash as you have done. I point out, that while we both agree it looks much better, it is generally correct. I've just had to learn to live with an m-dash crowded into the text, as silly as that appears. But I'll not change your edit - Marshman 18:50, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. But, it's not that I accepted that the em dash is correct and the en dash wrong (I've read too many Penguins for that) – it was the offering of a compromise solution that generally enjoys acceptance among both the tight-em and the loose-en churches. It's a silly issue, a minor one, but quite contentious. Have you read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes)? Basically, it's a call for tolerance and mutual acceptance on this point, so we can get on with writing articles. Oh – and that was a good copyedit you did, too! Do you think it'd be useful to pipe-link "sedge" to Cyperaceae? –Hajor 19:53, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- I guess I'm now in the "tight-em" camp, despite a life-long preference for loose-en, then later loose-em. Anyway, I'm not do-or-die about it. I was editing this page, saw the "incorrect" dash %) and changed it. Then I saw the history where Wetman had come through. And sure, I'll make that link now. Seems worthwhile. Also, there are some huge (to 15 ft) wild papyrus in the marsh where I work. I have some pictures, but all have a friend in them whose permission I do not yet have to post. I'll ask her or get some new shots for the article. - Marshman 16:54, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The photo on the front of the page has a blank white page blocking the papyrus, and that seems a little disturbing. Should the picture be removed? SycthosTalk 22:37, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- You can replace it with any photo from the gallery [1]. Don't just remove it.-- Ypacaraí 02:48, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- This site is a good 8/10, only thing is the white square in the picture of papyrus its very annoying so can you move it please?
- Picture changed -- IanUK
- I took that pic. The white is an overexposed information board. Luckily I had a closeup of the board so I've pasted it over the top of the board and reuploaded the pic. It's now back on the article. (You might need to do a Ctrl-F5 to see the new version) - Adrian Pingstone 12:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Cool. There are now two pics up. Should the one I put there be removed now that the old one is corrected? -- IanUK 21:28, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- No, the one at the top of the article is a close up on the leaves but my pic is an overall view. So we need both of them, please - Adrian Pingstone 17:55, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Why did papyrus become extinct in Egypt?[edit]
Does the writer know why papyrus became extinct in Egypt? It is mentioned only in passing, but it seems a most extraordinary fact. NaySay 03:50, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- It did not become extinct, it just now very infrequent, based upon anthropenic changes to its growing environment and from over use... Stevenmitchell (talk) 14:01, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
A little aside... Where we use velum for degree certificates, Egypt uses papyrus! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merlin-UK (talk • contribs) 13:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
Picture of papyrus plant[edit]
I changed the subtitle of the first picture (upper right) which had the same text in the subtitle as the second picture ("Papyrus plant Cyperus papyrus at Kew Gardens, London"), to the text which appears under the original picture in the picture gallery: "Papyrus plant growing in a garden, Australia". In any case, it certainly does not show Cyperus papyrus, so the old subtitle was wrong anyway.
Papyrus is also a small city off the Egyptian Coast?[edit]
Re: the change added by user 184.108.40.206 that added "Papyrus is also a small city off the Egyptian Coast?" - I have reverted your change for because I cannot find a reference to sucha city in a cursory search of Google. Also, if such a city does exist (perhaps it is spelled differently), that would be a separate article and should be referenced from the disambiguation page (not from this page). If the city exist and there is no page for it, feel free to start a new article. Tcncv (talk) 02:28, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Papyrus in Florida[edit]
Should we mention that Papyrus is an invasive plant in Florida and causes problems there?220.127.116.11 (talk) 12:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- This article really only deals with the material produced from the plant. See Cyperus papyrus, the article for the plant itself, where there is a short mention of it as an invasive plant in Florida. Maedin\talk 13:37, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- Exactly. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 16:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Typography usage (xkcd)[edit]
I came to this page from http://xkcd.com/590/ wondering if anyone wants add a section in main article on usage of papyrus in typography.
Article understates papyrus production; it is still available from a number of art catalogues including Daniel Smith. Some of my paintings have been done on it, such as my gouache on papyrus The Blizzard (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs992.snc4/76496_10150298837015232_837005231_15926729_6524168_n.jpg). --Daniel C. Boyer (talk) 15:06, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Does this make sense?[edit]
The following sentence in paragraph 3 of the History section doesn't make sense to me:
Papyrus was documented as in use as late as the 12th century in the Byzantine Empire, but examples have survived.
Shouldn't it say:
Papyrus was documented as in use as late as the 12th century in the Byzantine Empire, but no examples have survived.
Since it's an unsourced claim, we don't really know for sure... There's a citation-needed-tag from April 2010. I'm going to hunt around a little, see if I can confirm the info; if I can't, I'm going to remove it. Richigi (talk) 17:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
- Oops, found reference almost immediately. Article text fixed and cited. Text about "examples" has been removed since I did not find reference to that, one way or the other. Richigi (talk) 18:26, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
- I have a vague recollection about the wording of that passage being changed at some point, but it probably doesn't matter. Anything that's tagged for two and a half years and makes no sense deserves the chop, so I'd say you made the right call. Rivertorch (talk) 18:53, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
How was it made (further reading)[edit]
Could these links be added somewhere ("further reading" or "see also")
Specially this
Very interesting and worthy of being included.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MurkMenthaa (talk • contribs) 19:54, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Byblos etymology[edit]
The article says : "bublos,[14] said to derive from the name of the Phoenician city of Byblos"
But : [1]
On a répété que βύβλος est purement et simplement le nom de la ville phénicienne de Byblos d'où le papyrus était importé (Lewy, Fremdwörter 172, Schwyzer, Gr. Gr. 1,141,153). La principale difficulté réside dans le fait que le nom, phénicien Gbl, akkadien Gublu, hébreux Gĕbal, fournirait difficilement un emprunt βύβλος ; on observe aussi que l'adjectif βύβλινος "en fibre de papyrus" est déjà dit pour un câble chez Homère. Aussi a-t-on pensé qu'il a existé un nom βύβλος "plante de papyrus" d'origine d'ailleurs obscure (Alessio, Studi Etruschi 18, 1944, 122-123). Discussion complète chez E. Masson, Emprunt sémitiques, 101-107.
Sorry, I can't correct the article because my english is poor.

Abkhaz phonology
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (June 2009) |
Abkhaz is a language of the Northwest Caucasian family[1] which, like the other Northwest Caucasian languages, is very rich in consonants. Abkhaz has a large consonantal inventory that contrasts 58 consonants in the literary Abzhywa dialect, coupled with just two phonemic vowels [2]
Abkhaz has three major dialects, Abzhywa, Bzyp and Sadz, which differ mainly in phonology.
Below is the IPA phoneme chart of the consonant phonemes of Abkhaz:
Labial | Alveolar | Post- alveolar |
Retro -flex |
Alveolo -palatal |
Velar | Uvular | Phary -ngeal |

Phonemes in green are found in the Bzyp and Sadz dialects of Abkhaz, but not in Abzhywa; phonemes in red are unique to the Bzyp dialect. The total number of consonant phonemes in Abkhaz is, therefore, 58 in the Abzhywa dialect, 60 in the Sadz dialect, and 67 in Bzyp. The Sadz dialect also has distinctive consonant gemination; for example, Sadz Abkhaz contrasts /a.χʷa/ ashes vs. /a.χʷːa/ worm, where Abzhywa and Bzyp Abkhaz have only the one form /a.χʷa/ for both; it seems that many Sadz singletons reflect positions where a consonant has been dropped from the beginning of a cluster in the Proto-Northwest Caucasian form (compare Ubykh /tχʷa/ ashes). Some scholars (for instance, Chirikba 2003) prefer to count the Sadz consonant inventory at well over 100 (thus forming the largest consonant inventory in the Caucasus, outstripping Ubykh's 80–84) by treating the geminated consonants as a set in their own right. (Note, however, that this practice is not usual in counting the consonant inventory of a language.)
The Bzyp consonant inventory appears to have been the fundamental inventory of Proto-Abkhaz, with the inventories of Abzhywa and Sadz being reduced from this total, rather than the Bzyp series being innovative. Plain alveolopalatal affricates and fricatives have merged with their corresponding alveolars in Abzhywa and Sadz Abkhaz (compare Bzyp /a.t͡ɕ'a.ra/ to know vs. Abzhywa /a.t͡s'a.ra/), and in Abzhywa the labialised alveolopalatal fricatives have merged with the corresponding postalveolars (compare Bzyp /a.ɕʷa.ra/ to measure vs. Abzhywa /a.ʃʷa.ra/).
The non-pharyngealised dorsal fricatives of Abkhaz may be realised as either velar or uvular depending upon the context in which they are found; here, they have been ranged with the uvulars. Also, while the labialised palatal approximant /ɥ/ is here placed with the approximants, it is actually the reflex of a labialised voiced pharyngeal fricative, preserved in Abaza, and a legacy of this phoneme's origin is a slight constriction of the pharynx for some speakers, resulting in the phonetic realisation [ɥˤ].
Abkhaz has only two distinctive vowels: an open vowel /a/ and a close vowel /ɨ ~ ə/. These basic vowels have a wide range of allophones in different consonantal environments, with allophones [i] and [e] next to palatals, [u] and [o] next to labials, and [y] and [ø] next to labiopalatals. /a/ also has a long variant /aː/, which is the reflex of old sequences of */ʕa/ or */aʕ/, preserved in Abaza.

Ola Ray appeared in the 14 minute music video decades ago but claims that since roughly 1988 she has gotten paid. Ray is now 48 and still looks beautiful. Her attorney says of her lawsuit:
"She just wants to get her fair share of payments from this extremely successful project that she's very proud of. She did receive some payments early on, but we don't believe they were complete, and they were never timely.
"We're expecting it to be a significant sum that she's owed. The video continues to sell a lot worldwide and was just released again for it 25th anniversary."
Michael Jackson has yet commented.
Ola was Miss June 1980 and came from LALATE's own St. Louis, Missouri.

Music, men, dancing and romancing, health and nature.
Ironically, she listed for Playboy – years before the Thriller job – that her favorite performer is Michael Jackson and the thing she hates most is waiting for something that doesn't come (just like her alleged residuals)!

We learn more about who Sherlock Holmes is in this short book, A Study in Scarlet, than any other single Sherlock Holmes story. Doyle sets the stage for all future stories about Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Scarlet. Future stories will embellish on the character of Sherlock Holmes, but the foundation is mostly laid in A Study in Scarlet.
'This fellow [Holmes] may be very clever.' I said to myself, 'he is certainly very conceited.'
Dr. Watson Observation
-A Study in Scarlet
'I ought to know by this time that when a fact appears to be opposed to a long train of deductions it invariably proves to be capable of bearing some other interpretation.'
Sherlock Holmes Quote
Chapter 3: "Light in the Darkness"
'There is nothing like first-hand evidence.'
'They say that genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains,' he remarked with a smile. 'It's a very bad definition, but it does apply to detective work.'
'There is nothing new under the sun. It has all been done before.'
'I listen to their story, they listen to my comments, and then I pocket my fee.'

Great recipe family enjoyed it . I did make a substitution and added a can of mild green chilies instead of corn giving it a little kick.
To give it more southwestern flavor, I add green chiles or jalepenos and sprinkle with chipotle chili pepper, and sometimes throw in black beans. Have also used crushed corn chips instead of corn tortillas. Can also add guacamole and sour cream after cooking, and it's good wrapped up in a flour tortilla. Here at 6000ft elevation, I increase the temperature to at least 375.
Yummy overall, but more a soup than a casserole. I had loads of chicken left over from a fiesta birthday party as a substitution. I'll probably use more tortillas if I make it again, and add olives and green chiles with the cheese after taking off the foil.

Story Is Christian Hip Hop Wack? It's no small feat to answer the question "Is Christian Hip Hop is wack?". Saying that Christian Hip Hop is wack is almost like a "yo mama" joke for people like myself who grew up on it. I'm personally invested in this genre through buying albums and concert tickets, as well as evangelizing through Christian Hip Hop. It's challenging to be completely objective as well as comprehensive in answering, "Is Christian Hip Hop is wack?". I'm not trying to make a blanket assessment about a multi-faceted genre with thousands of emcees across the world, most of which I have never heard of. But lovingly, I'll try to dissect the trends I noticed in Christian Hip Hop and make a conclusion. Add a comment

I only took classes this fall (and not spring) and mine stopped working in early January. I think they give you a free pass until the next semester starts. I'd imagine it'll stop working in late august.

Thomas Tew (fl. 1692–1695), also known as the Rhode Island Pirate, was a 17th-century English privateer-turned-pirate. Although he embarked on only two major piratical voyages, and met a bloody death on the latter journey, Tew pioneered the route which became known as the Pirate Round. Many other famous pirates, including Henry Every and William Kidd, would follow in Tew's path. Much of what is known about Tew is derived from Captain Charles Johnson's A General History of the Pyrates,[3] which is a mixture of fact and fiction. When reading about Thomas Tew it is important to be able to distinguish between truth and story.
Captain Johnson said "Tew, in Point of Gallantry, was inferior to none."
Life and career[edit]
It is frequently written that Tew had family in Rhode Island dating back to 1640,[4] but it is not known where he may have been born. He may have been born in New England. One theory is that he was born in Maidford, Northamptonshire, England before immigrating to the colonies as a child with his family, although there is only a little circumstantial evidence for this.[5] He lived at one time in Newport, Rhode Island. Tew is reported as being married with two daughters. According to one source his wife and children all greatly enjoyed the New York City social scene after Tew struck it rich.,[6] but there is no supporting evidence elsewhere for this.
In 1691, Tew moved to Bermuda.[7] Although there is evidence that he was already reputed as a pirate at that time, no modern historian has determined whether this reputation was earned or not. He may simply have engaged in privateering against French and Spanish ships.[8]
He was in close relations with fellow pirate Captain Want who was his closest ally.
First pirate cruise[edit]
In 1692, Thomas Tew obtained a letter of marque from the Governor of Bermuda. Various Bermudian backers provided him with a vessel: the seventy-ton sloop Amity, armed with eight guns and crewed by forty-six officers and men. He and another captain obtained a privateer's commission from the lieutenant governor of Bermuda to destroy a French factory off the coast of West Africa.[9] Thus equipped, Tew set sail in December, ostensibly to serve as a privateer against French holdings in The Gambia.[10] But not long out of Bermuda, Tew announced his intention of turning to piracy, asking the crew for their support since he could not enforce the illegal scheme without their consent. Tew's crew reportedly answered with the shout, "A gold chain or a wooden leg, we'll stand with you!" The newly minted pirates proceeded to elect a quartermaster, a common pirate practice to balance the captain's power.[11]
Tew reached the Red Sea and ran down a large ship en route from India to the Ottoman Empire, some time in late 1693. Despite its enormous garrison of 300 soldiers, the Indian ship surrendered without serious resistance, inflicting no casualties on the assailants. Tew's pirates helped themselves to the ship's rich treasure, worth £100,000 in gold and silver alone, not counting the value of the ivory, spices, gemstones and silk taken. Tew's men afterward shared out between £1,200 and £3,000 per man, and Tew himself claimed about £8,000.[12]
Tew urged his filibusters to hunt down and rob the other ships in the Indian convoy, but yielded to the opposition of the quartermaster. He set course back to the Cape of Good Hope, stopping at the island of St. Mary's on Madagascar to careen.[13]
Tew reached Newport in April 1694. Benjamin Fletcher, royal governor of Province of New York, became good friends with Tew and his family. Tew eventually paid off the owners of the Amity, who recouped fourteen times the value of the vessel.
Second pirate cruise[edit]
In November 1694, Tew bought a new letter of marque from Fletcher and set out for another pirate cruise. His crew numbered thirty to forty men at departure this time.[14] However, by the time he reached Madagascar, he apparently increased his force to 50 or 60 men.[15]
Arriving at the Mandab Strait at the mouth of the Red Sea in August 1695, Tew found several other pirates hoping to duplicate his prior success, including Henry Every in the powerfully armed warship Fancy. Tew and the other pirate captains decided to sail in concert.
In September 1695, a 25-ship Mughal convoy approached the Mandab Strait, slipping past the pirates during the night. Tew and his fellow pirates pursued. The Amity overtook one of the Mughal ships, believed to be the Fateh Muhammed, and attacked it. Tew was killed in this battle, reportedly disemboweled by a cannon shot. Demoralized, Tew's crew surrendered immediately, though they were freed later when Every's Fancy captured the Fateh Muhammed.[16]
The final resting place of Tew's remains is unknown, but he is said to be the father of Ratsimilaho, a man who created a kingdom on the east coast of Madagascar. In addition, it has been claimed that Tew was one of the named founders of the mysterious and possibly fictional pirate colony of Libertatia.
Captain William Kidd, before he himself turned pirate, was commissioned by King William III to hunt Tew down.[17] Unknown to either Kidd or the King, Tew was already dead when the commission was issued.
Tew's personal standard is said to have been a flag white arm holding a sword on a black field, perhaps meaning "we are ready to kill you." Contemporary evidence for this flag is lacking.

Shahzia Batool
A Child's Supplication! - Poem by Shahzia Batool
O Maker of this universe! ! ! ! !
Sought in silence, prose and verse!
Teach me Lord to sing Thy Praise
On strings of these my humble lays
O Knower of all black and white
Pour on us Thy heaven's light
Thou knowst our deep folds and layers
Unto Thee I send my prayers
Bless the sick with healthy life
Help the ones who are in strife
Grow us strong to serve the nation
with progress, peace and education
Ignorance sweeps us with its might
Help us remove it by our light
Leave us not our Gracious God
Save us from all evils odd
Grace our minds with blessings Thine
We wish to stay forever Thine
Desert us not, O worthy Lord
The path is thorny and so broad
Our hands are seeking for Thy mercy
Bless us withThy boundless mercy
Bless my parents and my teachers
Friends and siblings, all Thy creatures!
Ameen! ! !

Thank you for all of your lovely comments on my poems. I too have enjoyed yours.
I truly enjoyed - A Child's Supplication! The flow is so exact and pleasurable even musical. May I make a suggestion? There is only one 'e' in amen. The third stanza could read - Pour upon us heavenly light –
Only to keep the meter flowing. I liked the way you used a capital letter for the word Knower. As you see the teacher in me can't be hidden.

people doesn't take the time or effort as to see what the potential synergies are, or simply chose to ignore it all and go with a limited number of abilities and then say most of the abilities are useles??. Quite funny blaming it on the system, when it's merely personal decision or the lack of attempt. Gamers always post in the forums they want games that offer this or that, that makes them think, that give them some freedom... etc, etc... but many just go an ignore those when any game gives them. Funny, apparently gamers don't really know what they want, cause usually what they say is far away from what they do. |
Originally posted by Dakirn Delicate Strike is hardly gimp on a build that wants to Penetrate as much as possible. It's pretty damn BiS as a builder if your that's your goal. The Pen rating and the +10% chance to Pen on Delicate Strike stack. It's very common for me to Penetrate a single target many times in a row with Delicate. I also run Bloodsport to apply Affliction, Dark Potency to give me Pen Rating on every application of Afflicted (Every hit), and Iron Maiden that gives me a +10% chance to Penetrate buff when I penetrate an Afflicted target. So as my objective with Blade/Rifle is to penetrate as much as possible, no, Delicate Strike isn't gimped. .. But in a good way. |

Originally posted by ericbelser The similar abilities are just similar. This is required for different builds. There are some almost equal but with different triggers or exploits. If you only look from your point of view many of them are useless. But for a broader audience those are real choices. |
Some people's fat is another person's Bacon! :) I think people frankly dismiss the complexity. They say - "hey this sounds like that or hey this does more damage for no reason, and it even costs less points to unlock... well thats just dumb" Using Corrupted status on vampires - just for one example, makes a big difference. There are a lot of mobs that seem harder because folks miss what they can do. In game chat, someone was complaining how come a tier one skill did more damage than a tier two. They didn't recognize the tier one has no trigger or subtype. So maybe bigger bang but no bells or whistles. I won't argue that there may be some redundancy in the wheel - but I also think it's intentional to a point, and not for lack of vision. Such as there being multiple ways to get Crit Rating buff. Having 500+ abilities lessens redundancy impact. We also have no idea what AA paths Ragnar is thinking of, and I believe they are thinking of them. I like being able to consider different approachs using the same character, do I go strike, chain, or burst? Do I want affliction or hindered? What can be boosted by using any one of those? Can I go cookie cutter? Sure, but is it necessary or fun in this system? I don't think so. With the number of skills as time goes by I hope to see more interesting attempts by players. Instead of generally spamming Escalation or Bamboo Cutter because those "work". Think outside the skill tree a bit and explore the wheel. |
Build advice: use assault rifle. |
Originally posted by Gargola There are a number of skills that simply suck. This is especially noticeable in the passives. Some passives give exactly the same effect at exactly the same amount with exactly the same amount of stacks but one triggers on a rarer or conditional effect and the other doesn't. Thus making one clearly superior. The only reason you would use the inferior one is when you are initially AP poor. It will later be made completely obsolete. Things are not entirely balanced. There are not always good tradeoffs. Some paaives simply are inferior in comparison with a close analog. |
Originally posted by DMKano You just don't understand the mechanics. |
if the mechanics of the game are so obscure, convoluted that a large portion of its customers are having issues with it then maybe the game doesnt explain in a sufficent way the way things work. I think the skill wheel descriptions and the skill search function could use A LOT of work . I know alot of fanboys will start yapping about the game isnt for mouthbreather WoWkids etcs..but can Funcom afford to alienate potential longterm, steady customers who otherwise love the game but find "theorycrafting", spreadsheets and synergy diagrams to confusing and daunting to deal with? isnt providing better info and easier to understand mechanics that make sense to ALL including the lowest common a "dumbing down" everyone should be able to live with? Watch your thoughts; they become words. |
Originally posted by Kenze Well they alienated a bunch of "WoWkids" when they put cursing in the game and nipples on monsters, I see no issue alienating those who are unable to comprehend either. Weed them both out because I rather like not playing with either one of those demographics personally, seems to me Funcom has the right idea. |
Originally posted by moreblahblah No worries, panda mist and gw2 should clear tsw of all the kiddies and broseph's at least for a short time. Id much prefer a smaller "nornal" community and live with the realization the game wont have 20mil subs and 50 servers packed with people i dont want to converse with. |
Originally posted by Kenze You don't need to do any of that. This isn't another Eve. Long as you read the descriptions of the skills you can figure things out easily. Seems some simply can't be bothered though. They have plenty of Decks available to help a player get started as well. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Originally posted by Kenze I stuggle sometimes and i like it. The tutorial doesnt end after Kingsmouth. It is a bit weird at the beginning. But its easy to try different builds and slowly you understand whats going on in combat. Do not bother to much about abilities. The inner ring is good. What counts is SP and the QL of items. Vertical progression and understanding is a bit complex but not required for 2-3 zones. Enjoy the games stories and learn slowly by doing. Just be prepaired that Funcom is kicking your shin once in a while ;) Those norse guys think thats funny LOL |

Whole-cell patch-clamp recording of voltage-sensitive Ca²⁺ channel currents in single cells: heterologous expression systems and neurones. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23007583 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) are vital to the normal physiology of many cell types, including neurones, skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle cells, heart pacemaker tissue and endocrine cells. Whole-cell recording is a functional electrophysiological assay that allows real-time measurement of macroscopic VSCC activity at the level of single cells. Using this technique, it is possible to probe the molecular physiology, pharmacology, and biophysics of VSCC proteins with a level of precision rarely surpassed in cell biological studies. With best practice voltage-dependent gating behaviors of VSCCs can be interrogated with temporal resolution <100 ms. These advantages have commonly been exploited using recombinant channels heterologously expressed in cell-lines, where the molecular identity of the channel under study can be precisely defined, and also in native cell types freshly isolated from intact tissue using enzymes. The latter approach is especially valuable for study of adult brain neurons as these cells are not amenable to primary culture. We also describe a method with which VSCCs can be studied in nucleated macropatches derived from neurons without the use of enzymes. Although automated patch-clamp systems are now available they have limitations, and manual whole-cell recording of VSCC currents remains an expert technique requiring intelligent, conative experimentation. |

2003 Toyota Camry Q&A
2003 Toyota Camry Question: Can something cause a catalytic converter to fail?
On RepairPal's catalytic converter page, it says the dealership/shop that says my converter has failed should also find out why it failed b/c the root of the problem is something else. Well, the dealership says this isn't true, there's no way to find out why it failed (unless the car shows a diagnostic code for another failed part), and that early failure (i.e. less than five yrs) is generally due to use of an after-market (i.e. non-Toyota) part or neglect of the vehicle. They said there's nothing else I could do to prevent future failure of the converter. Who's correct? - shavonne79

Policy for Cost Sharing on Sponsored Projects PURPOSE This policy has been developed to ensure that "cost sharing" on sponsored projects is proposed, accounted for and reported in a manner consistent with the requirements set forth in federal regulations (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circulars A-110 and A-21), requirements of sponsoring agencies and the policies of Vanderbilt University. DEFINITION OF ORGANIZED RESEARCH Organized research includes all research and development activities of an institution that are separately budgeted and accounted for that requires a formal application and approval process and includes:
The Organized research base is used by Vanderbilt University for development of its Facilities and Administration (F&A, also known as indirect costs) rate. The formula for development of this rate is: DEFINITION OF COST SHARING Cost sharing represents that portion of the total project costs (direct or indirect) of a sponsored agreement borne by the University, rather than by the sponsor. There are three types of cost sharing that are described below. TYPES OF COST SHARING MANDATORY COST SHARING Mandatory cost sharing is that portion of the University contribution to a sponsored project, which is required by the terms of the project. It must be included or a proposal will receive no consideration by the sponsor. VOLUNTARY COST SHARING Voluntary cost sharing represents resources offered by Vanderbilt in sponsored project proposals when not a specific sponsor requirement. Voluntary committed cost sharing is defined as those resources that are committed and budgeted for in a sponsored agreement. Voluntary uncommitted cost sharing is defined as university faculty effort that is over and above that which is committed and budgeted for but not charged to the sponsored agreement. Voluntary uncommitted cost sharing should not be recorded as organized research. In a recent OMB clarification to OMB Circular A-21 there is an indication that most Federally funded research programs should have some level of committed faculty (or senior researchers) effort, either in the form of a direct charge or committed voluntary cost sharing. If this effort is in the form of cost sharing, it cannot be considered voluntary uncommitted cost sharing. This effort can be provided at any time within the fiscal year (summer months, academic year, or both). Some types of research programs such as programs for equipment and instrumentation, doctoral dissertations, and student augmentation do not require committed cost sharing. . For more information on the governments clarification on cost sharing see: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/ocga/federalr/OMB21_01.pdf. In both mandatory and voluntary cost sharing when an award is received in which cost sharing was proposed, the cost sharing becomes a binding commitment that the University must provide as part of the performance of the sponsored project. Failure to properly record cost sharing may result in audit findings that could result in audit disallowances that have to be refunded to the appropriate sponsor and/or reduce Vanderbilt's indirect cost rate during future negotiations. INSTITUTIONAL COST SHARING Institutional cost sharing is a requirement of some unsolicited proposals whereby the University commits that it will use some its own resources for related research. This commitment is made at the aggregate level between the sponsor and the University. This approach allows the University greater flexibility by being able to share a greater percentage on some projects and not share at all on others. The National Science Foundation requires institutional cost sharing. ALLOWABLE COSTS FOR COST SHARING The obligation for cost sharing is predominately associated with Federal grants and cooperative agreements. In accordance with OMB Circular A-110, cost-sharing costs must be reasonable, allowable, allocable and meet the consistency requirements under federal cost principles (OMB circulars A-21 and A-110). In addition, the costs should be:
The cost must not include any of the following:
WHAT EXPENDITURES CAN BE COST SHARED? Cost sharing may consist of allowable direct or indirect cost resources, subject to approval by the appropriate Dean, Director or Department Chair. DIRECT COSTS
EXPENDITURES NOT ELIGIBLE FOR COST SHARING The following expenses cannot be offered as cost sharing commitments in sponsored project proposals:
COST OVERRUNS After the end of the project performance period, when unanticipated project expenses result in more allowable charges to a sponsored project than were funded, the amount of the overrun is cost sharing and should be accounted for appropriately. When such overruns occur, the department/research unit is responsible
for notifying OCGA (University Central) or Department of Finance, Academic
& Research Enterprise (Medical Center) as to the source of funding
for the overrun. Salary amounts in excess of the NIH salary cap (contact the appropriate sponsored program office for current amount) are considered voluntary committed cost sharing. The associated fringe benefits and indirect costs are also considered cost sharing. CONSEQUENCES OF COST SHARING Mandatory and voluntary committed cost sharing on sponsored research
projects is included in the Organized Research direct cost base that is
included in the calculation of the Facilities and Administration (F&A,
also known as Indirect costs) rate. An increase in the Organized Research
direct cost base results in a decrease in Vanderbilt University's F&A
rate and consequently a reduction of indirect cost revenue from sponsored
projects that is credited to the various schools and other units of the
University. ACCOUNTING TREATMENT For specific instructions on accounting treatment for cost sharing, please refer to the following web site at: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/ocga/vupolices/cost_sharing_accounting_treament.ppt. SPACE INVENTORY CODING University space used for mandatory and voluntary committed cost sharing for research projects is coded to Sponsored Research in the University's Space Inventory System, which should be consistent with the coding of expenditures in the accounting system. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES DEAN'S OFFICE, ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT AND RESEARCH UNIT RESPONSIBILITY
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS Question: What is the relationship between the space inventory and cost sharing? Answer: The coding of space in the University's Space Inventory System must be consistent with the coding of expenditures in the accounting system. Auditors confirm this consistent treatment during the review of the University's indirect cost proposal. Question: If a proposal voluntarily offers cost sharing does that represent a binding commitment if the proposal is awarded? Answer: Yes, cost sharing that is identified in the proposal represents a binding commitment if awarded, regardless of whether it is mandatory or voluntary. Question: Can cost sharing expenses consist of expenses that are unallowable on a Federal grant/contract? Answer: No, one of the criteria to determine if a cost sharing expenditure is appropriate is that it meets all of the allowability criteria in OMB Circular A-21. See Allowable Cost for Cost Sharing section in this policy. Question: Should cost overruns be treated as cost sharing? Answer: If the cost overrun consists of allowable costs and occurred because there were not sufficient funds awarded then the overrun should be treated as cost sharing. Question: Do amounts in excess of the NIH salary cap represent cost sharing? Answer: Yes, the NIH salary cap is a legislated cap on salary reimbursement rates and amounts in excess of the cap represent cost sharing. Question: If a faculty member cost shares effort that occurs after working 40 hours does this need to be recorded as cost sharing? Answer: Yes, this would be considered cost sharing; however, full time equivalent (FTE) for faculty effort is not defined in terms of a 40-hour workweek. A faculty FTE is defined as100% effort that is defined as the total of all effort performed during a defined work period regardless of the number of hours worked. |

Corporate Criminal Liability
Article excerpt
I. INTRODUCTION II. THE LAW OF CORPORATE CRIMINAL LIABILITY A. Corporations are Only Liable for the Acts of Employees if the Employees are Acting Within the Scope and Nature of Their Employment B. A Corporation Will Not be Liable for the Acts of its Employees Unless Those Actions are Designed to Benefit the Corporation C. To Hold a Corporation Liable for the Acts of its Employees, a Court Must Impute the Intent of the Individuals to the Corporation 1. Conspiracies 2. Mergers, Dissolutions, and Liability 3. Misprision of Felony 4. The Willful Blindness Doctrine 5. The Collective Knowledge Doctrine III. ORGANIZATIONAL SENTENCING GUIDELINES A. Introduction: Purpose and Scope of the Organizational Guidelines 1. Controls on Prosecutorial Discretion 2. Promulgation of the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines 3. General Principles 4. Organizations Covered by Chapter 8 of the Guidelines 5. Purpose and Effect of the Organizational Guidelines B. Guidelines Provisions: Offenses Covered and Sanctions Permitted 1. Remedies 2. Probation 3. Imposition of Fines a. Base Offense Level b. Base Fine c. Culpability Score i. Calculation: Increasing Factors ii. Calculation: Decreasing Factors (1) Effective Corporate Compliance Programs (2) Cooperation d. Multipliers e. Disgorgement f. Implementation g. Departures
Corporate criminal liability developed as courts struggled to overcome the problem of assigning criminal blame to fictional entities in a legal system based on the moral accountability of individuals. (1) Courts began with the civil law-based doctrine of respondeat superior (2) and gradually injected aspects of the criminal law, such as hearings and sentencing, into the abstract nature of the corporation. (3) Although criminal prosecution of corporations is guided by recognized principles, many prosecutors still proceed against corporations with great discretion, persuaded by the argument that punishing a corporation in effect punishes innocent stockholders. (4)
Yet the public outrage surrounding corporate scandals culminated in the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley"). (5) Although Sarbanes-Oxley exposes corporations to increased criminal liability, most investigations and prosecutions have targeted the wrongdoing of individual officers instead of prosecuting corporations. (6) While recognizing that corporations will be subjected to criminal liability in a small percentage of cases, the Department of Justice insists that prosecutors should seek indictments for companies guilty of corporate wrongdoing. (7) The government will be especially likely to prosecute when an organization has obstructed a federal investigation. (8)
A broad range of principles guides the law of corporate criminal liability. These principles are outlined in the remainder of this Article. Part II of this Article describes the three elements required to incur corporate criminal liability. Part III of this Article addresses the United States Sentencing Guidelines' mechanism for sentencing organizations and the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley on the Guidelines. (9)
A corporation may be held criminally liable for the acts, omissions, or failures of an agent acting within the scope of his employment. (10) The nature of incorporeal legal entities requires courts look to employees of the corporation as a means of imputing intent, or mens rea, (11) as well as the guilty act, or actus reus, (12) to the corporation. Courts find a corporation vicariously liable for the acts of its employees if the individual: (i) acted within the scope and nature of his employment; (13) (ii) acted, at least in part, to benefit the corporation; (14) and (iii) act and intent can be imputed to the corporation. …

text: After Obama's first periodic exam in February 2010, it turned out he hadn't quite kicked his smoking habit, and was even sneaking cigarettes, but he seems to be on track now. Last February, Michele assured the public that he really hadn't smoked in almost 9 months. Turns out Obama was telling the truth, as his latest note from his doctor says the president is "tobacco free," as you can see from the physician's statement below. Considering the man has quite the stressful job, that's a pretty impressive accomplishment.

Eagle Packaging: Tape sealing solutions
Eagle has developed tape sealing solutions that are tailored to fit the needs of the operator by offering models with either automatic or semi-automatic controls.
Ideal for small and growing companies, the EZTAPE is available in two semi-automatic models: CS12 and CS-12H. The CS-12 model is typically used for taping standard cases, while the CS-12H case sealer is ideal for heavy, tall, and narrow cases. Both models require an operator to manually fold all flaps prior to the case entering the tape sealer. However, for complete automation, Eagle offers the CSA12 model. This model eliminates the operator having to fold the flaps before the case enters the sealer which essentially helps them increase their overall production rates.
All EZTAPE sealers come equipped with heavy duty side-belt drives and side mounted rollers that ensure square cases and tight seals. All models are capable of applying tape to both the bottom and top of the cases. Equipped with a tool-less tape head, this feature permits operators to easily remove tape cartridges allowing for an accurate and consistent sealing process.
Eagle Packaging Machinery's EZTAPE sealer solutions are easy to use and adjustable. Available in both automatic and semi-automatic models, these tape sealers are completely flexible and are designed to suit the operator's needs.
