Well, my immediate response was the feeling of being at the top of a roller coaster. Then I found the word "carnival" so I was pretty close. Very nice work and I am so happy you had a wonderful trip. I really miss your animal artwork at Illustrated.

Interesting composition, compelling colours on the right image, left image elements a little homogenized, but for a wallpaper effect that has barely any standing against it, nice use of line work & technique. The open white spot is interesting as it is lead up to by the organic elements below it. as a diptych I am unsure as these two images work together. but nonetheless the craftsmanship is well executed. As has been told to me in my past always push for more.

I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night Lyrics
Artist: Billy Bragg
Album: The Internationale
I dreamed I saw Phil Ochs last night
Alive as you and me
Says I to Phil "You're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he
"I never died" says he
The music business killed you Phil
They ignored the things you said
And cast you out when fashions changed
Says Phil "But I ain't dead"
Says Phil "But I ain't dead"
The FBI harassed you Phil
They smeared you with their lies
Says he "But they could never kill
What they could not compromise
I never compromised"
"Though fashion's changed and critics sneered
The songs that I have sung
Are just as true tonight as then
The struggle carries on
The struggle carries on"
With the song of freedom rings out loud
From valleys and from hills
Where people stand up for their rights
Phil Ochs is with us still
Phil Ochs inspires us still
Words: Billy Bragg Music: Earl Robinson

Competing with products from companies such as IBM and Oracle, Microsoft Commerce Server is aimed at the creators of transactional Web sites. Microsoft has added tools that provide multi-language and multi-currency support, business analytics, and more robust cataloguing functions.
However, the real innovation is that the product will be integrated with the company's .net infrastructure.
Microsoft is re-engineering all of its e-business software so it can be used as a service over the Internet. Developers using Microsoft Commerce Server will be able to create applications using the .net framework, including many emerging Web services such as UDDI, Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and SOAP. The commerce server's developer portal will also integrate with Visual Studio .net.
"Commerce Server 2002, with its ability to tightly integrate with Visual Studio .net, demonstrates Microsoft's commitment to empowering developers with tools and products to build .net-ready e-commerce sites," said L J Germinario, Microsoft's commerce server product manager.

Mood Swings: An Affective Interactive Art System
Bialoskorski, Leticia S.S. and Westerink, Joyce H.D.M. and Broek, Egon L. van den (2009) Mood Swings: An Affective Interactive Art System. In: Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment, INTETAIN 2009, 22-24 June 2009, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (pp. pp. 181-186).

Abstract: | The progress in the field of affective computing enables the
realization of affective consumer products, affective games, and affective art. This paper describes the affective interactive art system Mood Swings, which interprets and visualizes affect expressed by a person. Mood Swings is founded on the integration of a framework for affective movements and a color model. This enables Mood Swings to recognize affective movement characteristics as expressed by a person and display a color that matches the expressed emotion. With that, a unique interactive system is introduced, which can be considered as art, a game, or a combination of both. |

To get the full benefit of this album, you must be old enough to remember 1959. Detective shows were the rage. Your parents let you stay up for Richard Diamond, Private Detective, starring David Janssen, and Peter Gunn, starring Craig Stevens. They were the first TV dramas with their own original jazz soundtracks. Pete Rugolo scored Richard Diamond. The RCA LP of Henry Mancini's music for Peter Gunn was a smash. It was on the Billboard charts for two years, and in 1959 won the first-ever Grammy for Album of the Year.
It is dreamlike when the opening track, "Punjab," begins so softly, with the tapping of a tabla. Exotic woodwinds, perhaps English horn and bassoon, murmur in the left channel, whisper in the right. It is dreamlike because Gil Evans died in 1988, yet this unfamiliar music sounds like him, and when suddenly that deep, solemn brass figure looms out of the right channel, it could only be him. More instruments enter, and more motifs, with brighter colors from alto saxophone and flute. Like all the greatest Gil Evans music, "Punjab" creates its own world of high drama and mysterious allusion. It belongs in the exalted company of such Evans masterpieces as Out of the Cool and Sketches of Spain. And it is new.
I bring glad tidings to Stereophile readers. When it comes to jazz, Guttenberg is dead wrong. The jazz art form today is rich, diverse, deep, and international.

The McDonald's Queenstown duty manager sentenced to seven months' home detention for kicking a customer in the head claims the event could have been prevented had the outlet's owner listened to security woes.
Rishi Kumar (34) told the Otago Daily Times yesterday he was sorry for injuring a customer on August 30 at the Queenstown restaurant and regretted his actions.
Kumar was this week convicted of intent to injure causing injury for grabbing the trespassing customer, swinging him around, punching him to the ground, standing on his torso and then finally kicking the man in the head - all caught on CCTV footage.
Kumar said he had "countless" encounters with intoxicated customers since his employment in April.
"It's out of hand - people come in and do whatever they want to do."
Kumar said he had made calls to the Queenstown police on a weekly basis regarding drunken incidents at the restaurant and said he asked the McDonald's outlet owner Mark Julian on several occasions to get more security in place.
"With my boss, I did ask him that something had to happen. He told me I am to call police, but sometimes they cannot come instantly."
Mr Julian declined to comment when approached by the Otago Daily Times for a response yesterday.

Recycle Stickers
Getting people to recycle all starts with making them aware of recycling containers and bins at your facility or business. The easiest way to do that is by using recycle stickers to let them know that they should put aluminum cans, bottles, and plastics in those bins instead of in the trash. According to the EPA, Americans throw away about 28 billion bottles and jars every year. Imagine if we could remove all of those from landfills and do something useful with their materials.
At SafetySign.com we have a large selection of recycle stickers to help identify recycling bins and help you organize your recycling bins by type. Keep your recyclables separated with paper only, aluminum only, plastic only and glass only recycling labels. Let people know you recycle and order recycle stickers today.

Evidence for physical and chemical stratification in Lake Untersee (central Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica)
AbstractLake Untersee is the largest freshwater lake in the interior of East Antarctica. It is a perennially ice-covered, max. 169 m deep, ultra-oligotrophic lake. In contrast to earlier studies, we found clear evidence for physical and chemical stratification in the summer of 1991–92. However, the stratification was restricted to a trough, c. 500 m wide and up to 105 m deep, in the south-western part of the lake. There, the water body was distinctly stratified as indicated by sharp vertical gradients of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity. The water column was anoxic below 80 m. The chemical stratification is also indicated by changes of ionic ratios. Moreover, there was some evidence for methanogenesis and bacterial sulphate reduction in Lake Untersee. (Received July 25 1996)(Accepted October 31 1996) Key Words: chemistry; East Antarctica; lakes; limnology; stratification; water. |

Reduced budget threatens delay in private spaceships BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: November 23, 2011 This year's NASA budget halves the requested funding for the agency's commercial crew transportation program, placing the initiative's goal of ending U.S. reliance on Russian Soyuz spacecraft by 2016 in jeopardy, according to NASA officials.
Congress passed the bill Thursday and President Obama signed the budget into law while traveling overseas. After the space shuttle's retirement, the only vehicle capable of the human transport job is Russia's Soyuz spacecraft. The Soyuz flies about four times per year, and NASA has booked seats for U.S. astronauts through mid-2016 at a cost of about $63 million per seat. Companies vying for contracts to ferry crews to space say they can beat the Soyuz price. With sufficient funding, they all claim they could be ready for operational flights by the middle of this decade. But the $406 million outlined in the fiscal year 2012 budget is less than half of the Obama administration's $850 million request for the commercial crew program. The Senate and House appropriations committees passed legislation calling for commercial crew funding levels of $500 million and $312 million, respectively. A conference committee between lawmakers agreed to a compromise budget at $406 million. In prepared testimony to the Senate subcommittee on science and space, NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden cautioned legislators on the consequences of a smaller commercial crew budget. "A reduction in funding from the president's request could significantly impact the program's schedule, risk posture, and acquisition strategy," Bolden's testimony said, adding that a budget of $500 million would delay commercial crew service to the space station until 2017. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said the funding of NASA's commercial crew program needs to be increased. "[Commercial crew] is an area that we're going to have to work on because we all agree that we want to stop paying as quickly as we can to the Russians for the seats to get to and from the International Space Station," Nelson said. The Florida Democrat is chairman of the Senate subcommittee with NASA oversight. "I would say that with only [about] $400 million, it does put at serious risk our ability to fly by the middle of the decade and not rely on the Russians for another year or more," said Ed Mango, NASA's manager of the commercial crew program.
NASA is currently working with four spacecraft builders in funded agreements worth up to $315.5 million to mature the design of their vehicles. The next phase will be open to all companies regardless of their participation in the program so far. The funded partners in the ongoing design round are Boeing Co., SpaceX, Sierra Nevada Corp. and Blue Origin. With the budget reduction, NASA will have to select fewer companies or slow the pace of development to start the next round of competition. Agency officials prefer to maintain multiple companies in the program as long as possible, possibly through flight tests and crew transport operations. "The longer we can keep competition at some level, I think the better off the taxpaper will wind up being," Mango said. "So we would like to maintain that competition." Mango said his team is still digesting the budget ramifications for the commercial crew program, which is headquartered at the Kennedy Space Center. "We're going to take that funding we have, lay out our best plan forward and that will come out in the next few weeks," Mango said. A draft version of the solicitation released in September outlined NASA's plans to spend $1.6 billion in the next phase of the commercial crew program. NASA planned to award contracts to multiple companies running from July 2012 through April 2014. The so-called Integrated Design Contract would focus on developing an end-to-end system, including spacecraft, launch vehicles, launch services, ground and mission operations and recovery. Mango said the impact of the lower-than-planned fiscal year 2012 budget could be reduced by adjusting the profile of spending in the commercial crew program. The fiscal year ends Sept. 30, and the NASA budget for fiscal year 2013 won't be decided until next year. If the commercial crew program receives more funding in 2013, the effects of this year's slashed budget could be dampened, Mango said. |

A convertible allows them to see out the window, see you in the back seat more easily, and sit up more.

Is economic freedom more
Submitted by MissionValleyMafia on Tue, 11/05/2013 - 13:15. Permalink
Is economic freedom more important to you than abortion rights? Abortion is settled FEDERAL case law. The governor of virginia's position on it doesn't matter and won't change anything. If cucc wins you get to keep you guns and taxes will be low and rolled back and obamacare won't be expanded in Virginia.
If those things are more important to you than his position on an issue he will have zero power to change the by all means don't vote for him. This is the only winning issue the left has, it's a red herring.

I have web pages that pull up 1200 row (x 10 columns) tables in 10 seconds or less, using GetString, and most of that is HTML rendering time, not data transfer time. They would probably time out using a loop. And a lot of timeout problems that people post here are due to a While...rs.MoveNext loop. Also, you can perform a single response.Write of the string that GetString generates, instead of hundreds. I also get beautiful formatting when I combine it with some CSS.Like I said, GetString is tricky to use with OPTION lists, and your method or Dave's is better. But you really can't beat GetString when building HTML tables. Test it out if you have any big tables and see what happens. I'm pretty sure you'll like it!

The Denver Nuggets picked up another win their last time out thanks in large part to Nate Robinson.
Coach Brian Shaw's team has proven nearly unbeatable when the 5-foot-9 guard gets going.
Denver tries to keep rolling Friday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are hoping to conclude a season-high five-game road trip with a winning record.
After averaging 93.5 points during a season-worst eight-game losing streak, the Nuggets (20-18) have scored 117.7 per game in winning six of seven. Denver posted its third-highest scoring total of the season Wednesday in a 123-116 win at Golden State.
Robinson led the way with a season high-tying 24 points off the bench while Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler added 22 apiece. Randy Foye stayed hot with 21 and J.J. Hickson posted 13 to go along with a career-high 24 rebounds.
The Nuggets shot 54.2 percent and outscored the Warriors 28-9 in transition.
"Every win at this point against somebody who's ahead of us in the standings ... it's a big win for us," said Shaw, whose team sits two games out of the Western Conference playoff picture.
The Nuggets have won 10 straight when Robinson scores at least 15 points, and they are 11-2 when he has 14 or more.
"He can get hot at any time," Shaw said. "He's a streaky player, and when he's on a good streak, he's as good as anybody in the league."
Denver had averaged 109.9 points during a 6-1 stretch against the Cavaliers before falling 98-88 in Cleveland on Dec. 4. Robinson had 14 points but Lawson was held to four while shooting 1 of 13.
A repeat performance could be hard to come by for Cleveland (14-25), which has gone 4-17 on the road to post the NBA's second-worst winning percentage.
The Cavaliers dropped to 2-2 on their trek with Wednesday's 108-96 loss to Portland. Luol Deng had 25 points and Kyrie Irving scored 21, but the Cavaliers recorded just 17 assists, dropping to 0-10 when posting that many or fewer.
Despite the loss, coach Mike Brown was pleased with his team's effort against one of the West's best clubs.
"The thing I like about what our guys did, I thought our guys competed and that's something that we've been harping on," Brown said. "I also thought that our pace was really good throughout most of the game. So, hopefully we can continue with those two things, as well as passing the basketball, we had pretty good stretches of it at times, going into Denver."
While Irving has been limited to 13.7 points per game on 32.6 percent shooting over the last three contests, he's averaging 25.7 in his last three against the Nuggets. He scored 23 in last month's victory.
The Cavaliers have given up an average of 113.0 points and allowed teams to shoot 50.0 percent during their trip. They could have difficulty containing Foye, who is averaging 19.2 points over the last five games after scoring 9.2 in the first 33.
The Nuggets are 10-3 when Foye scores at least 13. He has averaged 15.3 while going 20 of 44 (45.5 percent) from 3-point range during a seven-game stretch against Cleveland.
Lawson, third in the league with 8.7 assists per game, is averaging 11.5 over the last eight. The Nuggets have won nine of their last 11 at home when he dishes out at least eight.
The Cavaliers are 0-15 on the road when scoring 100 points or fewer. Denver, which has won four straight at home, has held foes to 93.3 per game in its last three there.

and all fees are due and payable in full before the first day of classes or by
billing due date for those students that have pre-registered for each semester
or summer term. Please make checks or money orders payable to the University of
North Carolina at Pembroke. A returned check charge of $25 will be levied on
each returned check.
is the policy of the administration and trustees to keep the cost of a college
education as low as possible. Since UNC Pembroke is maintained by the people of
North Carolina for the education of residents of the State, it is available to
them at a lower cost than to nonresidents. The residency status of each student
is determined at the time of original admission. (See below for further
information on residency status.)
Registration for any semester or session may not be completed until all
special or extra fees, fines, payments for lost or damaged articles, etc.,
incurred in the previous semester or session, have been paid; no transcript nor
record will be issued until all fees/fines owed have been paid.
Surcharge on Undergraduates
North Carolina Legislature directed the Board of Governors to impose a fifty
percent tuition surcharge on students who take more than 140 credit hours to
complete a baccalaureate degree in a four-year program or more than one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the credit hours necessary to complete a baccalaureate
degree in any program officially designated by the Board of Governors as a
five-year program. The calculation of these credit hours taken at a constituent
institution or accepted for transfer shall exclude hours earned through the
College Board's Advanced Placement or CLEP examinations, through institutional
advanced placement or course validation, or through summer term or extension
surcharge shall be imposed on any student who exceeds the degree credit hour
limits within the equivalent of four academic years of regular term enrollment,
or within five academic years of regular term enrollment in a degree program
officially designated by the Board of Governors as a five-year program.
undergraduate credit hours to be counted for calculation in the surcharge
requirement include:
all regular session degree-creditable courses taken at this institution
including repeated courses, failed courses and those dropped after your
official census date (normally the last date to add a course); and
* all transfer credit hours accepted
by this institution.
hours excluded from the calculation include:
1) those earned through the College
Board's Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or
similar programs;
2) those earned through
institutional advanced placement, course validation, or any similar procedure
for awarding course credit, and
3) those earned through the summer
session or degree-credit extension division on this campus or at another UNC
to change without notice.)

4.2 UNCP begins
counting calendar days beginning with the first official day of classes (not
the first day of particular classes). A
completed withdrawal form must be filed with the Registrar's Office. Forms for withdrawal during the first six (6)
weeks of the semester, the first nine (9) calendar days of first and second
summer sessions, and the first six (6) calendar days of intra sessions may be
obtained from the Registrar's Office.
After these times, forms may be obtained from the Office for Academic
4.3 Reducing Hours. Students who officially drop from
full-time to part-time status or those who drop to a lower block of credit
hours will receive a refund equal to the difference between the amount paid and
the charge for the block of hours for which the student is officially
registered at the end of the registration (drop/add) period. Refunds for withdrawing or reducing hours
will be processed after the registration period. A refund will only be issued
for reducing hours or withdrawing from a class while still attending other
classes at the university if the reduction or class withdrawal is completed
during the drop/add period.
4.4 Please allow two weeks for processing of any refund. A
student receiving financial aid will not receive a refund until the Financial
Aid Office determines if any funds from an awarding agency must be
returned. If a return is required,
withdrawal may result in a student liability to the University.
Individuals must contact the chair of the Student Services Committee to request
a refund appeal. Appeals for refund of tuition are exceptions to this
regulation and are only approved in exceptional cases. Any student appealing
for refund of tuition must complete and submit the proper paperwork.
Approval is not automatic, and you need to provide documented evidence to
support your request.
Acceptable reasons may include: 1) death in immediate family; 2) serious
illness or injury of student or immediate family; and 3) factors outside of
student's control (for example, major employment change, fire, flood). Changing
your mind about college, poor academic performance, disciplinary withdrawal, or
not receiving expected financial assistance are considered to be the result of
personal choices and actions and will not be considered for a refund after the
normal deadline. Failure to comply with published deadlines or regulations is
not a serious and compelling reason to seek a refund and will not be approved.
6.1 The University will refund all but $25 of the room deposit
to incoming new students if written cancellation is received by July 31
preceding the fall semester and November 30 preceding the spring semester. The room deposit is non‑refundable
after these deadlines.
6.2 The $150 room deposit (less damages and/or any other
financial obligations owed The University of North Carolina at Pembroke) will
be refunded to established residents provided the resident submits written
cancellation by November 30 preceding the spring semester and by July 15
preceding the fall semester. Established
residents must follow check‑out procedures as detailed in the Student
handbook to ensure an appropriate refund of the room deposit.
6.3 If a student
withdraws from the University prior to mid‑semester, the room deposit
will be forfeited. If a student
withdraws after mid‑semester, the room deposit (less damages) will be
refunded, provided check-out procedures have been followed.
basis for determining the appropriate tuition charge rests upon whether a
student is a resident or a nonresident for tuition purposes. Each student must
make a statement as to the length of his or her residence in North Carolina,
with assessment by the institution of that statement to be conditioned by the
qualify as a resident for tuition purposes, a person must become a legal
resident and remain a legal resident for at least twelve month immediately prior
to classification. Thus there is a distinction between legal residence and
residence for tuition purposes. Furthermore, twelve months legal residence
means more than simple abode in North Carolina. In particular it means
maintaining a domicile (permanent home of indefinite duration) as opposed to
"maintaining a mere temporary residence or abode incident to enrollment in an
institution of higher education."
The burden of establishing facts which justify classification of a
student as a resident entitled to in-state tuition rates is on the applicant
for such classification, who must show his or her entitlement by the
preponderance (the greater part) of the residentiary
Being classified a resident for tuition purposes is contingent on the student's
seeking such status and providing all information that the institution may
require in making the determination.
an individual, irrespective of age, has living parent(s) or a court-appointed
guardian of the person, the domicile of such parent(s) or guardian is, prima
facie, the domicile of the individual; but this prima facie evidence of the
individual's domicile may or may not be sustained by other information.
Further, nondomiciliary status of parents is not
deemed prima facie evidence of the applicant child's status if the applicant
has lived (though not necessarily legally resided) in North Carolina for the
five years preceding enrollment or re-registration.
of Marriage
alone does not prevent a person from becoming or continuing to be a resident
for tuition purposes, nor does marriage in any circumstance insure that a
person will become or continue to be a resident for tuition purposes. Marriage
and legal residence of one's spouse are, however, relevant information in
determining residentiary intent. Furthermore, if both
husband and his wife are legal residents of North Carolina and if one of them
has been a legal resident longer than the other, then the longer duration may
be claimed by either spouse in meeting the twelve-month requirement for
in-state tuition status.
North Carolinian who serves outside the State in the armed forces does not lose
North Carolina domicile simply by reason of such service. Students from the
military may prove retention or establishment of residence by reference, as in
other cases, to residential acts accompanied by residential intent. In
addition, a dependent relative of a service member stationed in the state may
be eligible to be charged the in-state tuition rate while the dependent
relative is living in North Carolina with the service member and if the
dependent relative has met any requirement of the Selective Service System
applicable to the dependent relative. These tuition benefits may be enjoyed
only if the applicable admission requirements have been met; these benefits
alone do not provide the basis for receiving those derivative benefits under
the provisions of the residence classification statute reviewed elsewhere in
this summary. To be considered, the student must submit a Military Waiver Form.
If a person (1) has been bona fide legal
resident, (2) has consequently been classified a resident for tuition purposes,
and (3) has subsequently lost North Carolina legal residence while enrolled at
a public institution of higher education, that person may continue to enjoy the
in-state rate for a grace period of twelve months measured from the date on
which North Carolina legal residence was lost. If the twelve months end during
an academic term for which the person is enrolled at a State institution of
higher education, the grace period extends to the end of that term. The fact of
marriage to one who continues domiciled outside North Carolina does not by
itself cause loss of legal residence, marking the beginning of the grace
(persons under 18 years of age) usually have the domicile of their parents, but
certain special cases are recognized by the residence classification statute in
determining residence for tuition purposes.
a minor's parents live apart, the minor's domicile is deemed to be North
Carolina for the time period(s) that either parent, as a North Carolina legal
resident, may claim and does claim the minor as a tax dependent, even if other
law or judicial act assigns the minor's domicile outside North Carolina. A
minor thus deemed to be a legal resident will not, upon achieving majority
before enrolling at an institution of higher education, lose North Carolina
legal residence if that person (1) upon becoming an adult "acts, to the extent
that the person's degree of actual emancipation permits, in a manner consistent
with bona fide legal residence in North Carolina" and (2) "begins enrollment at
an institution of higher education not later than the fall academic term next
following completion of education prerequisite to admission at such
a minor has lived for five or more consecutive years with relatives (other than
parents) who are domiciled in North Carolina and if relatives have functioned
during this time as if they were personal guardians, the minor will be deemed a
resident for tuition purposes for an enrolled term commencing immediately after
at least five years in which these circumstances have existed. If under this
consideration a minor has deemed to be a resident for tuition purposes
immediately prior to his or her eighteenth birthday, that person on achieving
majority will be deemed a legal resident of North Carolina of at least 12
month's duration. This provision acts to confer in-state tuition status even in
the face of other provisions of law to the contrary; however, a person deemed a
resident of 12 months duration pursuant to this provision continues to be a
legal resident of the State only so long as he or she does not abandon North
Carolina domicile.
but Regained Domicile
a student ceases enrollment at or graduates from an institution of higher
education while classified a resident for tuition purposes and then both
abandons and reacquires North Carolina domicile within a 12-month period, if he
or she continues to maintain the reacquired domicile into re-enrollment at an institution
of higher education, may re-enroll at the in-state tuition rate without having
to meet the usual 12-month durational requirement. However, any one person may
receive the benefit of this provision only once.
of Status
student admitted to initial enrollment in an institution (or permitted to
re-enroll following an absence from the institutional program which involved a
formal withdrawal from enrollment) must be classified by the admitting
institution either as a resident or as a nonresident for tuition purposes prior
to actual enrollment. A residence status classification once assigned (and

The Office of Financial Aid is dedicated to helping
students and parents obtain the financial aid necessary to pay for a college
education at UNCP. The
Financial Aid Office is located on the second floor of Lumbee
Hall. This office coordinates a variety of State, Federal, private and
institutionally funded aid programs, each with different regulations and
requirements. While most of these programs require students to demonstrate
financial need, there are loan funds available to help students and parents
which are not need based. All students requesting consideration for any type of
financial aid, including loans, must apply each year. The Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be completed each year, listing the
University of North Carolina at Pembroke as the school of choice. The federal school code is 002954. The web
address for the FAFSA is www.fafsa.ed.gov. The application should be submitted
prior to our priority deadline of March 15 to allow time for processing so
awards can be made before Fall Registration.

demonstrated financial need. The first responsibility of financing a student's
education rests with the student and the student's family. A student's parents
are expected to contribute towards his or her expenses insofar as they are able
from income and assets. A student is expected to provide funds for his or her
own education through savings, summer work, and other resources. Each student
is individually considered on the basis of the family financial situation.

Policy on Satisfactory Academic Progress
For Financial Aid Eligibility
is the policy of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke that all degree
seeking students must be making satisfactory academic progress to be considered
for financial aid, including loans. Students must meet the requirements to
continue enrollment in their respective degree programs AND attain the minimum
grade point average designated below for the number of hours attempted to be
considered to be making satisfactory academic progress. In addition, students
MUST complete a minimum of two-thirds of all hours attempted.
Procedures for
Determining Satisfactory Academic Progress
policy for determining satisfactory academic progress status and eligibility
for financial aid has changed effective with the Fall Semester of 2011. Please refer to the Office of Financial Aid
web site for the current Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.
Maximum Number of Credit Hours
average length of an undergraduate program at UNCP is 120 credit hours. An
undergraduate student is eligible to receive financial aid for a maximum of
150% of the hours required for a degree. Graduate students may receive
financial aid for a maximum of 150% of the hours required for a degree.
Students are meeting the completion rate requirement if the overall attempted
hours is less than (<) or equal to 150% of the credit hours required for the
Example: Student's Overall Attempted Credit
hours is 136
Hours required for the degree is 127
full-time undergraduate degree student who is receiving financial aid must be
registered for a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours per term (six hours
during each summer session). This also applies to a senior's last term. The
academic load is determined at the end of the drop/add period each semester. If
a student reduces his/her course load below the minimum, the Financial Aid
Office must be notified and some aid funds may have to be repaid. The student
is responsible for notifying the Financial Aid Office if a reduction occurs or
is contemplated.
Second Degree Students
student working toward a second or subsequent baccalaureate degree is expected
to make the same satisfactory progress and enroll for the same minimum course
load when receiving financial aid as that stated above. These students will
normally be eligible for loans only, and eligibility will be limited to no more
than two additional academic years.
Degree Students
graduate student is considered to be making satisfactory academic progress for
financial aid purposes, if (s)he has completed two-thirds of all hours
attempted. Should a graduate student carry an incomplete beyond one semester,
then (s)he will not be considered to be making satisfactory progress for
financial aid purposes and will not be eligible for further financial
assistance until the incomplete has been removed. Once the student notifies the
Financial Aid Office that the incomplete has been removed and a grade has been
posted, the student regains eligibility for financial aid. The student may
receive aid for the semester during which the incomplete is removed if the semester
has not yet ended. If it has ended then the student regains eligibility for
financial aid for the next term.
be considered full-time, students must enroll for at least six (6) graduate
hours each semester. Academic load is determined at the end of the drop/add
period each semester. If hours are dropped below these levels, the student must
notify the Financial Aid Office, and some funds may have to be repaid.
who no not meet satisfactory academic progress standards are no longer eligible
to receive financial aid. These students will not be eligible to receive
financial aid for two consecutive semesters (i.e. fall and spring or spring and
fall semesters). Once the two full semesters have expired, students will again
be able to receive financial aid, provided they meet the other requirements for
continuation or readmission to the University. A student who has been declared
academically ineligible for financial aid has the opportunity to appeal.
Appeals must be in writing and must fully explain any mitigating circumstances
which contributed to the student's poor academic performance. Appeals generally
given consideration involve circumstances such as:
extended illness or hospitalization of student
an accident which incapacitates the student for an extended period of time
death or extended illness of an immediate family member which results in
greater family responsibilities for the student.
appeal will be strengthened by providing a written statement of your proposed plan
for academic improvement. Any special arrangements you have made for tutoring
or other support services to help assure academic improvement should also be
described in your appeal letter. A financial aid committee will review the
appeal letters. If a student's appeal is not approved, that student will not be
eligible for aid for two consecutive semesters.

for the term. The amount to be repaid depends on the date of withdrawal.
Federal regulations state that a student earns financial aid by remaining in
class for at least 61% of the semester in which aid is being received. If a
student withdraws prior to that time, the Financial Aid Office will determine
the payback amount after performing a federal calculation at the point of
withdrawal. Students may owe a balance to the University in these cases.

entire semester may be obtained from the University Cashier's Office.
and Withdrawals

aid, the student must show proof of class attendance that semester in order to
be eligible for federal financial aid in subsequent semesters. If a student
cannot get proof from professors that classes were attended, according to
federal regulations, the student will be required to pay financial aid back
based on the federal calculation and using the 50% point of the semester as the
withdrawal date. Students may owe a balance to the University in these cases.
a student withdraws from a class after the census date and receives a "W," no
financial aid will need to be paid back. However, if a student has a class
completely removed from his/her transcript, some financial aid may need to be
paid back. Students may owe a balance to the University in these cases.
Licensure Students
a student is taking at least six hours per semester toward teacher licensure,
according to federal regulations, a Document of Intent Form must be obtained
from the School of Education stating that the student is pursuing licensure in
order to qualify for federal student loans. Students who are admitted to the
Regional Licensure Program are not eligible for financial aid.

Wrestlers Shine In Final Tri-Match
Saturday, February 18, 2012 - page 3
The bonus points keep coming for the Muhlenberg wrestling team.
In their final action before next weekend's Centennial Conference Championships, the Mules got a clean sweep during their tri-match with Johns Hopkins at Scranton, with every win registering bonus points.
Muhlenberg wrestlers went 6-for-6, including 5-0 in contested bouts, with four pins and a major decision.
Senior John Sternlicht had the most impressive day, needing just 77 combined seconds to pick up two pins at 174 pounds. In the opener against Scranton, he decked his opponent in 33 seconds. He followed that up with another first-period fall against the Blue Jays in 44 ticks for his 10th win of the season.
Classmate Kevin Homan was the only Mule to not record a pin against the Royals, but he still performed well, picking up his third major decision of the season, 11-2, at 149 pounds. Then against the Blue Jays, he pinned his opponent in 4:35 to improve his record to 28-7 on the year.
Senior heavyweight Nick Pallotta (right) just beat the buzzer to pick up a first-period pin at the 2:53 mark against Scranton and added a win by forfeit against the Blue Jays. Five of his six contested wins this season have come by fall.
The Mules outscored Scranton 16-0 in contested bouts, but counting forfeits fell 36-16. Muhlenberg held a 12-0 edge over Johns Hopkins in contested bouts, but lost 42-18 with forfeits.

Cinematography by Pradeep Nair is praiseworthy as the camera takes many angle and closeups. Dialogues could have been more effective considering that it's a thriller with superstar Mohanlal in the lead. Script by SN Swamy is good, but could have been more hard hitting. Music by Tatheesh Vega is average. Another 'minus' in Lokpal is that the film lacks humour and that adds to the lack lustre of the movie. The climax is not enticing enough and leaving you with a feeling that it could have been better.
Lokpal narrates the story of a man who fights against corruption in the society. Mohanlal (Nandagopal) runs Nadoos foodcourt, popular for its excellent cuisine. However, apart from running a foodcourt, Nandu runs a secret tirade against smugglers and tax evaders. The different ways that he adopts to fight the smugglers form the highlight of the film.
Mohanlal is undoubtedly the 'star of the show' and steals the cake. He performs his role with utmost ease and conviction. Kavya Madhavan is pretty as usual and fits her role brilliantly. Manoj K Jayan sleepwalks through the movie. Saikumar and Shami Thilakan have done a commendable role. Meera Nandan has nothing substantial to do in the movie.
Lokpal is worth a one-time watch - and that too only because of Mohanlal.
Cast: Mohanlal, Kavya Madhavan, Meera Nandan, Thambi Ramaiah, Manoj K Jayan, Saikumar

Houston Texans at San Diego Chargers: Three Bold Predictions
Football Nation's Cold, Hard Football Facts Insider is Extraordinary INSIDE INFORMATION for Betting on Pro Football. CHFF quality stats, Pre and post-game reports and ATS picks for every NFL game week 1 to Super Bowl. If you want to win each week, Click here to check out Insider now.
When the Houston Texans traded for Matt Schaub in 2007, I thought it may have been the steal of the century.
You know, the consummate backup standing on the sidelines in Atlanta, waiting for his big chance (like Aaron Rodgers) to prove his worth in the NFL.
That has not truly happened yet. While Houston could have one of the best offenses in the league this season, it seems injuries and Schaub are the only two things holding this franchise back.
Does he finally take the next step toward elite status?
The San Diego Chargers are a team that was the best in the AFC to never get back to the Suoer Bowl. So many parts and so much talent.
Now, the only remains are Philip Rivers, a middle of the pack quarterback now who must find himself again.
The defense is going to be better than average, but not much above that. And how will Ryan Mathews deal with Danny Woodhead and others in a crowded backfield?
This has the makings of a good game, if it were five seasons ago. And the ghost of what could have been for both teams could linger.
Here are some bold predictions for the game…
Derek Cox has two interceptions
When the Jaguars allowed Cox to leave in free agency, I thought it was one of the worst moves they could have made.
Truth be told, I think Cox wanted out of Jacksonville and playing in San Diego is a lot more comfortable for him.
If Cox and the secondary can cover Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins all day, there will be plenty of opportunities to steal balls from Schaub. Cox will benefit greatly from the long ball.
Batman and Robin get 100 yards, each
There is no doubt that if Arian Foster can stay healthy, he will head toward 2,000 yards this season. And the Texans have the hosses up front to make that happen. The only thing I worry about is his health, which we all know can be a concern. But expect him to get 100 yards or more on the day.
If the Chargers' secondary with Cox and Eric Weddle can keep the receivers in check, expect Ben Tate to get a lot of carries as well and inch toward the century mark.
Welcome to the NFL, DeAndre Hopkins
While everyone will be following Andre Johnson around the field on Sunday, DeAndre Hopkins will be a factor.
Look for the rookie from Clemson to find the middle of the field and make it his own home. I would not be surprised to see both receivers get 100 yards in receptions and a score or two. But I also think Hopkins is not given as much credit as he will deserve this season. He is a strong Offensive Rookie of the Year candidate.

India got off to a shoddy beginning at the 2012 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Ipoh, Malaysia, conceding a 5-1 defeat to New Zealand as the Indian defence faltered tamely and the forwards failed to capitalise on a number of opportunities - which allowed the Black Sticks to run away with a comfortable victory.
Playing on a blue pitch and with yellow balls - similar to what will be on offer at the London Olympics - India went a goal down in the first minute itself after an error from full-back Sandeep Singh. The ball bounced off Sandeep's stick inside the circle and fell in front of Simon Child who just had to tap it in the goal.
However, Shivendra Singh equalised for India as early as the sixth minute when he slotted Birender Lakra's cross into the goal beating the Kiwi custodian Kyle Pontifex. New Zealand upped the ante thereafter securing three penalty corners in the 16th, 18th and 19th minutes but were kept out - largely by goalkeeper P Sreejesh who started ahead of skipper Bharat Chetri, with Sardar Singh leading the side.
Indian defence caved in badly while the forward line failed to convert their circle penetrations into goals.
India picked themselves up in the last 15 minutes of the first half, enjoying more of the possession. Sadly, they couldn't convert it into goals. Instead, New Zealander Andy Hayward put his team ahead once again in the 35th minute off a penalty corner and the hooter sounded at 2-1 in favour of the Black Sticks.
India began encouragingly in the second half by earning two penalty corners - in the 40th and 45th minutes. But with their ace drag-flicker Sandeep benched on both the occasions, Raghunath failed to sound the board. India then found themselves down 3-1 when Nick Wilson neatly deflected a pass from Shea McAlesse that went through Sreejesh's legs in the 58th minute.
Three minutes later, the Black Sticks made it 4-1 when Stephen Jenness had enough time on hand to find his mark to perfection. New Zealand completed the rout in the 65th minute with Matt L'hullier getting himself on the score sheet.

$10 off Pre-Orders at NewEgg ends 9/20!
Use promo code EMCNAJB243 at checkout and ENJOY! (note: one $10 promo per order, but you can use it on multiple orders.)
The important question: What are you going to use it on?
Personally I'm tempted on Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, Epic Mickey 2 and Luigi's Mansion 2. As a side note Wii U games are also available if you're inclined.
9 comments:
Glad I can push my incomplete agenda to others. I know you have some bitter coffee grounds from a previous pre-order, but FWIW they shipped NSMB2 immediately. They were also very helpful with allowing me to retain my $10 pre-order promo even though I had to re-order due to billing/CC address issues.
I don't remember what their pre-order cancellation policy is, but this may be a good way to save some cash. I'd definitely give it a closer look.There is A LOT of irony in your response, with a post I'm working on for tonight...LOL.
As for my past NewEgg experience, it wasn't even a pre-order, just a regular order.
BUT, that being said, I think I'm going to take advantage of this pre-order deal on NSMBU....$10 saved is $10 saved.
Now, can you explain why Amazon has The Walking Dead games on sale!
