Payment Plans are administered through the SNU Business Office, phone (405) 491-6308, e-mail email@example.com
4 Month Plan
If a student cannot pay all charges in advance, the following plan applies:
Tuition and General Fees paid in cash or financial aid at time of registration.
The balance of charges will be due on the following dates: First semester - September 15, October 15, November 15, December 15. Second semester - February 15, March 15, April 15, May 15.
The university adds a service charge of 1% per month on the unpaid balance for all student accounts.
Students registering under this plan will not be allowed to continue in school after such payments become past due, unless an extension has been made by the Business Office, Comptroller or the V.P./Financial Affairs.
Transcripts will not be released, nor will student be permitted to appear for graduation, until all accounts are cared for at the business office.
Special 10-Month Payment Plan
SNU is pleased to offer a special payment plan to families wanting to spread the payment of tuition, fees, books, room, and board over a ten-month period, without any finance charges. The deadline to request to be on this plan is June 15 and the payment contract must be returned by July 1.
In order to participate in this special plan, one of two methods of payment are available:
A. Payment by credit card (VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express)
The card information must be provided to the SNU Cashier's Office at the time the 10-Month Plan application is returned, with authorization for the office to process a charge equal to the monthly amount due on the 1st of each month, beginning August 1.
B. Payment by automatic bank account withdrawal Banking information must be provided to the SNU Cashier's Office at the time the 10-Month Plan application is returned, with authorization for the office to process a debit to the bank account equal to the monthly amount due on the 1st of each month, beginning August 1.
Following are the terms and conditions for participation in the SNU 10-Month Payment Plan
1. The student must be pre-enrolled by July 1 for the upcoming fall semester.
2. The total fall charges for which the student is pre-enrolled, plus the estimated January mini-term and spring charges will be used to calculate the total amount due. (May mini and summer terms are not included in the plan)
3. Financial aid that has been officially awarded through the Financial Assistance Office of SNU will be deducted from the total charges before calculating the net amount due. The aid must have been officially approved and awarded. Aid that has not been received by the University and applied to the student's account at the time the first payment is due will not be considered a part of the arrangement. Aid that is received by the student, that was not originally a part of the payment plan, will be used to adjust the monthly payment only when the funds are received.
4. The net amount due will be divided into 10 equal payments and will be processed by either credit card or automatic bank withdrawal.
5. Failure of the credit-card approval or rejection of automatic bank withdrawal will result in a late fee of $10 being added to the account. A second rejection will result in removal from this payment plan, with finance charges accruing at the rate of 1% per month on remaining balances.
6. The last payment will be processed on May 1 of the school year. That payment will be increased or decreased, as appropriate, to compensate for changes in charges due to variances in enrollment from the original estimate.
7. Only students with accounts in good standing may participate in this plan.
8. Please contact the SNU Cashier's Office for a 10-Month Payment Plan application:

What is the recovery time for a frostbite injury?
Reader Stories
The recovery time for a frostbite injury depends on the extent of tissue injury and whether or not there are any subsequent complications, such as infection. It may take 1 to 3 months before it is possible to determine the extent of tissue damage, and to clearly delineate which tissue is still viable. Some individuals will require debridement, skin grafting, or amputation of the affected area. Some patients will experience long-term sequelae from frostbite injuries, such as sensitivity to the cold with associated pain or burning, arthritis, increased sweating, and tingling of the affected area. Rarely, death occurs from infection-related complications.
When should a person seek medical care for a cold weather-related injury?
Who is most likely to get a cold weather-related injury and what can be done to prevent it?

House passes DoD spending bill, prohibits furloughs in 2014
Thursday - 7/25/2013, 5:31am EDT
The Defense Department is scrubbing its financial books once again to see if it can reduce the number of furlough days for its civilian employees this year. But DoD officials also warned House Armed Services Subcommittee members Tuesday afternoon that furloughs easily could turn into layoffs if sequestration continues into fiscal 2014.
Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.), the chairman of the Subcommittee on Readiness, said the briefing by Robert Hale, DoD comptroller and undersecretary of defense, Alan Estevez, assistant secretary for logistics and material readiness, and Pat Tamburrino, chief of staff to the undersecretary of personnel and readiness, laid out the short and long-term challenges DoD is facing due to sequestration.
The briefing came the day before the full House debated and passed the fiscal 2014 Defense Appropriations bill.
$28 billion above sequestered amount
The House approved the measure 315 to 109, making it the fourth appropriations bill to be passed by the lower chamber this summer.
Rep. Robert Wittman (R-Va.)
House lawmakers allocated $512 billion in non-war funding, a decrease of $5.1 billion below the fiscal 2013 enacted level and approximately $28.1 billion above the current level caused by automatic sequestration spending cuts.
Additionally, the House approved an amendment from Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) that "prohibits funds from being used to furlough DoD federal employees paid from the Working Capital Fund, which is a revolving fund and does not receive direct congressional appropriations," and an amendment from Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) that "prohibits funds from being used to implement sequester-related furloughs of civilian DoD employees."
DoD decided earlier this month that it does have the authority to furlough employees who get paid through a working fund.
But Pentagon officials warned House lawmakers Tuesday what the impact of sequestration will look like over the next 15 months.
"There might be a chance of them reducing the number of furlough days. Undersecretary Hale said that is still on the table and they are looking at other areas where they are saving money," Wittman said. "They haven't made any decisions yet, but that is first and foremost on the table. They are looking at a variety of ways to do that between now and the end of the current budget year."
Hale didn't provide lawmakers with a timeline to decide if DoD can reduce the number of furlough days civilian employees face. Most already have taken two or three days.
Worst case scenario details
Wittman said he hopes DoD will make the decision within the next 30 days.
"Undersecretary Hale said they are in the process of evaluating where they are currently, where cost savings are being accrued and where the current furlough implementation is resulting in savings," he said. "The later they get into it, the more difficult it is. He didn't give a time specific or period specific, but they are analyzing the information coming in as to how the furloughs are being implemented, and that, he said, would be the foundation from which they would make a decision about how to reduce the number of days of furloughs."
DoD officials also detailed what will happen under the worst case scenario next year. Wittman said DoD officials said $52 billion would be cut from the budget if Congress doesn't act.
"We were asking for scenarios there and if there would be furloughs there into the next year," he said. "Undersecretary Hale said they would do everything they could to avoid furloughs, but they also would be looking at reductions in force on the DoD civilian side and also on the uniform service side. What he spoke about was, being able to save that number of dollars becomes more difficult to do it over the period of the year. This most recent reduction was about $37 billion over a portion of the year."
Under the House version of the DoD spending bill, furloughs would no longer be an option.
Wittman, who spoke before the House vote, said the goal is to meet the requirements of the Budget Control Act by cutting other areas throughout government spending and not have DoD take so much of the burden.
Both the appropriators and authorizers have tried to put money back into the DoD spending bill as shown by the $28 billion increase in 2014.
"The vast majority of my colleagues understand that the sequester is illogical and disproportionately impacting DoD," Wittman said. "But there is a large number of people who want cuts made and are less sympathetic for how they are made. I think when they realize the impact on DoD, they say, there has to be a more thoughtful in how we do it."
Stay in Washington this August?
Wittman is encouraging his colleagues not to return to their districts in August and finish legislating.
Wittman said he hears from constituents on a daily basis about the impact of budget cuts on DoD employees.
"I think people are concerned on several different levels. First of all, how it affects them personally. Obviously, having a 20 percent cut in your take home pay is a significant impact," he said. "Many folks are concerned about the jobs they do. Many say they still have 100 percent of the job to do, but only have 80 percent of the time to do it, and if that job isn't getting done, then that impacts the readiness of this nation and men and women in uniform. It's a very frustrating time for these folks."
He added he hears a lot about fear of uncertainty, the fear of work not getting done and the fear of further budget cuts.
"The people I'm talking to are focused on reducing the impact on the Defense budget because they realize what it means to this nation's military and what it means for us to defend ourselves," he said. "As far as the total reduction in the budget, lots of folks up here, including myself, are committed to reducing the budget and committed to that target number to make sure we are living within our means and finding ways in other areas of the budget to do that. The appropriations process allows us to be more thoughtful and to make those priority decisions."

The TIROS Operational Satellites (TOS) were developed after the ten experimental spacecraft from the TIROS (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) series proved the feasibility of space-based weather observation. In operation from 1966 to 1976, the TOS series of satellites provided continuous observation of global weather conditions and generated over one million images from the nine spacecraft launched during the program.
TOS used two satellite types. One carried the APT (Automatic Picture Transmission) camera system that allowed real-time transmission of images to small ground stations. The other carried the AVCS (Advanced Vidicon Camera System) that could store images and then send them to Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) stations.
The Museum's artifact is a flight qualified spare of an APT version of the TOS spacecraft and was transferred to the Museum from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 1965.

WP recorded their sixth consecutive Vodacom Cup victory against the SWD Eagles, while the Pampas XV and Pumas earned big wins over Free State XV and the Golden Lions respectively.
WP flyhalf Kurt Coleman scored a try and kicked three conversions in his team's 29-14 bonus-point win over SWD in Oudtshoorn. Scrumhalf Nick Groom, and flankers Rohan Kitshoff and Tyrone Holmes also crossed the chalk. The result gives WP a commanding lead on the south section log.
The Pampas XV thrashed Free State XV 40-20 in Bloemfontein, mainly thanks to flyhalf Santiago Iglesias who scored a try and kicked 20 points via three penalties, a drop goal and four conversions.
The Pumas shocked the Golden Lions 37-33 at Ellis Park as they scored four tries to the hosts' three. The Lions led 20-17 at the break, but the visitors ran in two converted tries in the second half to seal the win.
The Pumas now hold second position on the north section log, as Griquas grabbed top spot after their 42-40 victory over the Leopards.
Vodacom Cup results:
Golden Lions 33 Pumas 37

It's here!http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/patagonia-encapsil-down-belay-parka?sssdmh=dm23.153895&p=84645-0-065&src=030113_mi1&dmmid=131400942Observations:- Quite the price point- Looks they are each numbered with a limited edition tag? - No down fill numbers- Lighter than I expected- Made in China despite the "Ventura, CA" tag (no surprise here)- One color choiceWho's buying one?
There is already a thread about the fill weight of this jacket...
I read this on Patagonia's care instructions link for the encapsil parka: "We use a more effective and environmentally sound way to clean Encapsil down: The NexWash™ liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) process that cleans gently and thoroughly without soaps or detergents, removing oils and bacteria without the need for heat or long, energy-intensive dryer cycles...."Do any other companies like WM, FF, etc... use cleaning technologies (like the liquid CO2 above, or other) that are vastly different from what normal people have available at the laundry mat for cleaning down?Any insights or is Patagonia way ahead of the curve on down maintenance too?
$700 is obscene.
whats the point of something you need to send it to have "specially cleaned" ... wasnt one of the attractions of this nanotech supposed to be that the DWR was more durable than other down DWRs?do they pay for the shipping as well as the cleaning?i wear my EB and mammut down jackets every day in the winter to save on heating costs ... and i can wash em just fine myself ... can i do this with the $700 jacket?
what part of Pata-gucci do you not comprehend? :)I really like their products and their mission -you can depend on the quality and viability of the product. I never pay retail for patagucci-i buy them on sac,ebay or thrift stores.
Edited by hipass on 03/02/2013 03:03:01 MST.
Well the Patagonia Japan allotment has already sold out and I bet there will be several hundred of these seen in/around Everest base camp in the coming months. I've seen old Golite daypacks sell on auction for more than $1000 I assume to collectors, so I don't see why folks are ragging on about the price, especially since it comes with what essentially a free lifetime service warranty over and above Patagonia's already excellent satisfaction guaranteed policy. Being a limited 1000 piece production run, an individually numbered jacket will certainly lend itself to collector popularity. In a few years, I bet we will see posts here speculating which numbers are "best" and thus worth more due to micro details in production or what famous personality wore it. As with the Google IPO, I will wager $700 is the lowest price we will ever see for this jacket.That said, Patagonia has already indicated they plan on pushing Encapsil into the rest of the down product line so cheaper jackets are a certainty. I hope so, since this jacket is actually too warm for the typical winter conditions I expect/want to hike in. Actually, I hope they start making sleeping bags with this stuff too. The only question is if more reasonably priced Encapsil products will also offer free cleaning services or will they turn that into the profit center, like blades for your razor or ink for your printer.

"Who's buying one?"Me. Just because.
Obviously, serial number "111" is the best, because that stitching/ink weighs less than any other number "001" through "999".$699 is more than you spent on your first X automobiles?For me, X=3.
Wow - XL & L already sold-outThey must be in high demand.
In the overall scheme of things, it's actually a good deal. Whomever buys it will essentially get "free" use for as long they own it since Patagonia is essentially promising to keep it "like new" and chances are good that a limited edition that it will almost certainly hold its price in a collectors market.I think the only value risk is if Nisley comes back with a test declaring Encapsil down to be less than claimed that goes viral on the web. Worst case then is you have a "normal" 800FP down jacket made to exacting standards with free lifetime laundry and repair services.
Edited by rmjapan on 03/02/2013 17:49:28 MST.
so how many of these "collectors" is going to use the thing to its limit daily?or is it something one pulls out for the occasional dog trotting ;)again ... one of the supposed attractions of this nano-down is that its more durable ... what happens if it gets washed normally?
I tried one of these on in the store today, and was super impressed. One of the nicest garments that I've seen--design, fit and finish are pretty much perfect. The baffles are fluffy and dense throughout the jacket, which makes it feel like wearing a warm sleeping bag. I don't have $700 to spend, but this jacket is good enough to make me wish I did. If you're a frequent winter climber/adventurer and planned on having this as your cold weather parka for the indefinite future, I could see justifying it. Personally, I hate washing/drying down gear. Its expensive, a pain in the ass, and easy enough to do it wrong. I'd love to have a lifetime cleaning service that came with my down gear. I was surprised and disappointed to see they used a one way zip. I'm sure they'll get a lot of flack for this as its pretty much expected in a belay parka. My hope is that they correct this and come out with a cheaper non-limited edition next year. Supposedly patagonia is developing a 1200 fill power with the same tech. Hmmm...Eric, I know this garment is the perfect sounding board for your anti-elitist elitism, but give it a rest. You've made your point.
Hi Serge,How did it look comparedTo the Brooks Range Mojave?
Hi stephen, the patagonia is a lot loftier & a lot denser than the mojave. It feels like they packed a 30 degree sleeping bag into a a perfectly fitting upper body peice. The cut/design/finish are in a different league.
Edited by sgiachetti on 03/03/2013 07:26:08 MST.
I have nothing against this jacket or its price.It's simply nothing that I would consider buying.Maybe as the future unfolds, and prices come down to normal levels, I might consider it.I've lived all my outdoor life with regular down, and it has worked out just fine.I think a Ferrari is cool too, but I'm not going to ever buy one.Eventually, after the hype is gone, they are going to realize that they will have to sell these things for prices people can afford. I might consider one at that time.
"I tried one of these on in the store today, and was super impressed."Was hoping to do the same, but was told the only Patagonia stores that have them on-shelf are in Boulder and NYC.
Eric, I know this garment is the perfect sounding board for your anti-elitist elitism, but give it a rest. You've made your point. if you call wondering why not being able to wash this down jacket normally "anti-elitist" ... hmmmforget about this particular $$$$ jacket for a secondone of the main reasons about why all this nano-down is supposedly "better" than regular DWR treated down is because its more "durable"what happens if you wash this nano-down normally? ... will all future patagucci nano-down products require you to send it back to "preserve" the DWR?

Nitto terra grapplers. Just make sure you rotate every 5k miles or so.
I put Michelin LTX load range E on my 2500 with a chassis mount. They are great on the road and passable in mud, though I try not to get in much, if I can help it. They don't look very cool, though. I had Bridgestones before and they were nice also. I like have had good luck with Michelin so buy them for most of my cars. Nittos look the coolest.

Good years are decent if you rotate religiously. Toyo's AT tire is crap in the mud. Nitto terra grappler is probably best bang for your buck in versatility and mileage. If I was you I would get toyo's mud tire. Not noisy, good in the mud, can get 70K out of them if you rotate decently, and they look good.
I use the BFG All Terrain T/As. Quiest on the road, great traction in snow, Not bad in mud. Around 60,000 mile tread life. The Michelins LTX are pretty decent also, but only lasted about 30,000.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Bill B. ok not great firt in the leg ok but too big in the waist. The waist band should be tighter. May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Pedro Good compression short This are very good compression shorts, I have many brands and I have to say that reebok are among the best ones. The size is ok. I am 158lbs and the size M is just perfect. No bad odors while working out. Keep the area between the legs dry. I bought two of this product in discount, great deal. The $45 price tag is a bit high, but if you can get them in discount or sale, get them!!! November 19, 2013

Here at the ASPCA, we're of the mindset that if you love animals, you should let the world know it! We can't think of a better way to spread the word than by taking a stroll in adorable Vans X ASPCA dog- and cat-themed shoes designed in support of the ASPCA's life-saving work for animals.
These slip-on and lace-up shoes are available for adults, kids and toddlers. You can order them online or find them in Vans or Journeys retail stores. Vans is also offering dog- and cat-themed hats and backpacks, as well as an ASPCA pug T-shirt.
Are you in the New York City area? Vans and the ASPCA are teaming up to host a special pet adoption event on Saturday, March 22, from 1:00 to 4:00 P.M. The event, which will be held at the House of Vans at 25 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, will feature adoptable dogs and cats from the ASPCA Adoption Center and Animal Care & Control of New York City. We'll also have food trucks, gifts and an interactive photo booth on site. Two-legged guests of all ages are welcome to attend!
I really wanted the high-tops, but they're made with suede/leather. So it's like, let's save dogs, but kill cows.
If they were made with canvas I'd definitely have bought a pair.
Im sure when the cows are used for meat, they are used for many other purposes, hide being one of them. So its not like the cow just got slaughtered for its hide ;)
That can be true, but if you don't want to support cows being killed in the first place, avoiding leather prevents supporting factory farming. Also leather can come from a lot of different places, including dogs and cats from China, kangaroos, etc, and is not labeled so you never know where it came from. That said, these high tops do look like they are all canvas!
Actually, that is not true. I watched a show on this a while back. There are cows that are specifically bred for leather. Their skin has to be a certain way to make "good leather." Cattle bred for their meat are often left out in the weather and their skin would not be considered "useful." Personally, I don't wear leather either.
Very true. I appreciate everything the ASPCA does for cats and dogs, but I really wish they would extend that attitude to all animals.

Most of us reading this website have rationally deduced that there is no personal god guiding us from above, and that clashing, archaic religions now endanger global peace, freedom and progress. So why don't more people 'get it' and reach this seemingly obvious conclusion?
I've spent many years studying, testing and observing people's varied thinking styles. While we commonly assume that everyone's mental processes work in a like manner, one need only ponder the incredible diversity of viewpoints to realize that people don't actually all think the same way. For example, some people are brilliant analysts—many of whom might be scientists, corporate decision makers, technicians, etc. Others are gifted in building relationships—so their talents might be applied toward sales, caring for one another and other sorts of connective functions. Indeed, these two mental specialties are as opposite as 'cut' and 'connect.' Analysts reduce a set of options to a singularity by cutting out unworkable choices to find a best solution. On the contrary, the Unifiers are adept at connecting, linking and harmonizing information, people, groups—even congregations.
As a whole, the Unifiers may not be as skilled as the Analysts at reaching logical conclusions, while the Analysts may not be as attuned to people's 'feelings' and common concerns as the Unifiers.
Such differences are measured in personality testing, such as the well known Myers-Briggs Testing Indicator. Among factors it quantifies are a pair of opposing traits: "Thinking" versus "Feeling." People who favor "Thinking" tend to make choices based on rational, logical means involving analysis. People who favor "Feeling" tend to make choices through involvement with other people and awareness of subtle feelings and shared values. Decades of widespread Myers-Briggs testing reveals a roughly 50-50 distribution of "Thinking" and "Feeling" types among the overall population.
It would seem that Life has found value in each of these opposing traits. The Analysts and the Unifiers—while they often oppose one another—are both useful to the stabilization and evolution of the species. Thus, while many Unifying people may not be as able to readily deduce that outdated religious beliefs now hinder our continuance, they are admirably holding out for some alternative belief system that reconfigures our bonds for one another. And they're not going to abruptly abandon tried-and-true beliefs for any Analyst's singular version of an isolated truth.
The key to reaching the Unifiers is not bombarding them with scientific analysis to convince them how wrong they are. Rather, our mutual advancement will require a new myth. A new story for transforming the scattered old belief systems into one new worldwide understanding that recognizes our diversity of needs, interests and thought. That validates Analysts equally with Unifiers. That embraces both sides of difference to find wisdom.
As has always been our way, the fashioning of myth will require new imagination. We must listen to our own internal 'creators' to put into stories and symbols the inspiration that will meld all people, all religions into one human congregation. One that lives in peace with one another, shares in the common good and recognizes that we've come into existence out here on this little rock, left to our own devices, to survive and keep each other company.

Mils Muliaina's World Cup looks over because of injury.
Muliaina, who became the second All Black to play 100 Tests, was subbed in the 41st minute and coach Graham Henry told the media the initial prognosis was not good.
'I think he is in trouble (injury wise). He's hurt his shoulder badly and you could see how much he was struggling at the presentation of his 100th Test cap,' said Henry, who added flyhalf Colin Slade could also be ruled out because of injury.
'Several players are with the doctor, but the early reports on Colin is that he has hurt his groin. I will only know more in the next 24 hours,' said Henry. 'The positive is Aaron (Cruden) played well and enjoyed the occasion.'
Henry has been under pressure all tournament to axe Muliaina for the more dynamic Israel Dagg and the latter's form suggested Muliaina would be left on 98 Test appearances. Henry, however, selected Dagg as wing against Canada and started Muliaina at fullback. Dagg was also not considered for the quarter-final because of a thigh injury, but will now definitely start at fullback in the semi-final against Australia.
Henry said Kieran Read's ankle held up well for the second successive match, complimented his team on their composure in the last 20 minutes and paid credit to the Pumas, who he said would get better by regularly playing the All Blacks, South Africa and Australia in the expanded Four Nations in 2012.
'It will be good for their rugby and for ours,' said Henry.
All Blacks captain Richie McCaw reiterated the game was played over 80 minutes and he felt his players understood the need to keep plugging away.
'We would have liked to have scored earlier but we played the game in the right areas and I could sense their frustration in the end. They defended very well and were as physical as we knew they would be. I thought it was a good win – as is any win in the play-offs.'
Henry, when asked how he felt, responded: 'Bloody marvelous. I've never been to a World Cup semi-final before.'

The European Dream: How Europe's Vision of the Future is Changing the Global Economy
A talented and innovative economist, Jeremy Rifkin is founder and president of the Foundation on Economic Trends. He has devoted much of his life to a passionate study of the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society, and the environment – his diligence is reflected in the seventeen books he has published on these topics. Studied in hundreds of universities, corporations and government agencies around the world, these analyses have been translated into more than thirty languages.
In his newest international bestseller, The European Dream: How Europe's Vision of the Future is Quietly Eclipsing the American Dream (2004), Mr. Rifkin argues that while the great American Dream is fading, a powerful new European Dream is beginning to capture the attention and imagination of the world. The nascent European Dream, says Rifkin, is, in many respects, the mirror opposite of the American Dream, but far better suited to meet the challenges of a globalizing society in the 21st century. Rifkin draws on more than twenty years of personal experience working in Europe, where he has advised heads of state and political parties, consulted with Europe's leading companies, and helped spur grass-roots, environmental, and social justice campaigns.
Mr. Rifkin holds a degree in economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and a degree in international affairs from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Rifkin speaks frequently before government, business, labor and civic forums and has been influential in shaping public policy in the United States and around the world. He has testified before numerous congressional committees and has had consistent success in litigation to ensure responsible government policies on a variety of environmental, scientific, and technology related issues.
Jeremy Rifkin's lecture at the Athenaeum is the first in the Gould seminar series Labor and Leisure in Western Culture taught by Professor Nicholas Warner.

Cloud computing refers to the provision of computational resources on demand via a computer network. In the traditional model of computing, both data and software are fully contained on the user's computer; in cloud computing, the user's computer may contain almost no software or data (perhaps a minimal operating system and web browser only), serving as little more than a display terminal for processes occurring on a network of computers far away. A common shorthand for a provider's cloud computing service (or even an aggregation of all existing cloud services) is "The Cloud". (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Cloud computing)

When he was three, Taro Komori and his sister were kidnapped, but the kidnapper was run over and killed before the ransom could be delivered. The police eventually found Taro, but not before his sister had died. Eleven years later, Taro still has nightmares of the events surrounding the kidnapping and is haunted by a tall, featureless specter.
Now Taro searches for answers together with two unlikely companions: a brash transfer student from Tokyo who is himself haunted by the memory of a fellow student who committed suicide by jumping from the roof of the school, and the son of a man who committed suicide after being accused of being involved in the kidnapping. Unseen spirits, ghosts, and out-of-body experiences all combine in an intriguing exploration into the workings of memory and our perception of the world.

Last year in Texas, a scared little white pup named Diamond arrived at the City of Abilene's municipal shelter. She was dirty, painfully matted and very scared. No one knew it at the time, but she was also deaf.
If Diamond had arrived at the shelter a year earlier, she may never have found her happy ending. But the folks who work at the City of Abilene shelter are especially dedicated and strongly committed to saving animals' lives. Naturally, they jumped at the chance to take part in the ASPCA's Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project, unveiled in September.
Part of the ASPCA Animal Relocation Initiative, the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project helps cash-strapped municipal shelters like Abilene's relocate dogs to off-site adoption programs, rescues or private shelters by providing municipal shelters $50 per dog placed. That money can be spent on vet care for an animal, transportation of the pet, or on anything else that will help move the animal out of the shelter.
For Diamond, this program was a godsend. Abilene was able to use the Petrie subsidy to move her to The Pawed Squad rescue. After a desperately needed grooming, Diamond revealed herself to be an adorable little Bichon Frise! She also came out of her shell and showed she would make a wonderful companion.
Soon after rescuing Diamond, the Pawed Squad was able to place her in a loving home that cherishes her every day. Her deafness was never an issue for these awesome adopters.
Congratulations to Abilene, The Pawed Squad rescue and Diamond's happy family. We're so glad the Carroll Petrie Foundation Dog Rescue Project is changing lives like hers and thousands of others.
Want to help support our efforts to find homes for thousands of homeless pets like Diamond? Please consider becoming an ASPCA Guardian today.
When I was younger, I rescued and placed several Bichons (my first Bichon pet was a rescue).
One thing I've learned about this breed is they really like to look nice. Plus, getting them professionally groomed from a completely matted state is hard on the dog, and a sacrifice on the part of either the rescuer or the groomer donating the grooming. We're talking either hours of careful dematting or a scary close shave for the dog.
But having my other foot in the professional dog show world, I learned that Aussie Melamiracle's Leave In Conditioner works wonders. You may need to use an entire small bottle on a badly-matted dog, but it is so worth it! The first time I had to leave a rescue with a groomer (because I was working full-time), I also left my bottle of this as well. Before I even got to work, 20 minutes away, the groomer called me to tell me in an awe-struck voice that the dog was already de-matted! She hadn't had to shave him down at all, and was proceeding to give him a nice, proper Bichon cut! As a result, I was able to find a family for him pretty quickly. His previous owner was elderly and unable to groom him due to arthritis or get him groomed because of income restraints, and was going into a nursing home so really no rehab was needed, other than getting his coat back into shape. He went to a nice family who continued to cherish him for another decade.
I highly recommend this if you can find it. I believe the name has changed, but there is a still a pink kangaroo on the label. I talked at length to the vet who developed it for her Shar-Peis before I started using it on my dogs, and I highly recommend it for all Bichons or any dog with skin problems--the shampoo, at least, while the Leave-In Conditioner is indispensable for coat maintenance for breeds with coats that tend to mat. It makes brushing them out a snap.
God bless all of you at the ASPCA and all agencies that help animals and the good folks who bring them there! You are all GREAT!!!
God bless that little Diamond too! What a cutie!!! I hope her new family is foever blessed too!
I live in CT and would be willing to do transporting.
Thank you ASPCA for all your hard work. I will never stop contributing to your organization.
I live in Madison, Wisconsin. Willing and able to transport within a 100 mile radius.
This sounds great. I wish there was a rich benefactor out there who could get this much excitement and offers of help for cats. I love dogs but there are a lot of cats who need furrever homes too. :'(
What a beautiful story ... I wish all story had such an awesome ending!
Thank you SPCA for all the wonderful work you do, and thank you for the family that adopted that little Bichon. I'm having a party later this month and have asked everyone to bring a check for $10 made payable to the SPCA. You're great!
If we could only get everyone to feel this way, there would not be any homeless pets or a need for shelters. Please consider special needs animals. They make great pets. Our Rachel was rescued the day she was to be put down. Her crime? She is blind. She knows her way around the house and yard, is so sweet and loving. It has been an honor to be her family for the past four years.

OXFORD, Ohio – For the sixth year in a row the Miami University women's tennis team won the Mid-American Conference regular season title following their 5-2 match victory over Bowling Green on Saturday afternoon. Miami (15-6, 7-1 MAC) finished the year with just one conference loss which was good for sole possession of first place.
Saturday afternoon also stood as Senior Day for the RedHawks, a fitting send off for seniors Nimisha Mohan and Christiana Raymond. In her four years with the Red and White, Mohan was a part of four MAC titles while Raymond contributed to three of those titles following her sophomore year transfer to Miami. Both seniors took part in the MAC Tournament Championship last year in addition to the team's ensuing NCAA Tournament match against Stanford.
"I would like to thank both Christiana and Nimisha for their commitment and dedication to this program," said head coach Anca Dumitrescu in a ceremony before the match. "Their impact on each one of us will truly live beyond their graduation. I hope that one day when my daughter will reach their age, that she can develop a similar heart and passion that these two ladies have brought to us all."
In doubles action, Miami lost at No. 2 and No. 3 thus dropping the doubles point to Bowling Green. The No. 1 match went unfinished since the point had already been decided.
Miami bounced back with force in singles competition. Junior Alix Thurman finished first at No. 4 singles, handing in a 6-0, 6-3 victory. At No. 6 singles, sophomore Ana Rajkovic defeated her Falcon opponent, 6-1, 6-1. Playing at No. 5 singles, junior Christine Guerrazzi delivered a 6-0, 6-3 win to bring the match score to 3-1. Freshman Andreea Badileanu came through with the match point when she defeated her No. 2 opponent, 6-3, 6-3. Mohan turned in a No. 1 singles victory next, winning by a score of 6-2, 6-3. Raymond lost at No. 3 singles in a three-set bout, 6-3, 0-6, 6-1.
Miami will host the MAC Women's Tennis Tournament next weekend. Action begins at the Hepburn Varsity Tennis Courts at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 24 and will wrap up with the MAC Championship at noon on Sunday, April 26. The winner of the MAC Tournament receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Buying a hybrid is a one-time deal for most drivers, according to a new study by automobile marketing solutions firm R.L. Polk.
The rise of gas prices every Spring seems to energize people to go for a hybrid. But the study found that only 35 percent of U.S. hybrid owners in 2011 - including Portland -- bought another hybrid when it was time to trade in. The study is based on the top 15 markets in the country in which at least 500 people own a hybrid.
What may be surprising is that in green-friendly Seattle, hybrid loyalty wasn t that much higher. Only 36.2 percent of Puget Sound hybrid owners bought another hybrid. In Portland, only 34.8 percent stayed loyal to hybrids.
When it comes to brand loyalty, Toyota is the clear leader thanks largely to the Prius. Sixty percent of Toyota hybrid owners returned to buy another Toyota. Next was Honda, which found 52 percent of its hybrid owners purchased another Honda.
Having a hybrid in the product lineup can certainly give a brand a competitive edge when it comes to attracting new customers, said Brad Smith, director of Polk's Loyalty Management Practice. The repurchase rates of hybrid vehicles are an indication that consumers are continuing to seek alternative solutions to high fuel prices.
According to Polk, cross-shopping data from Edmunds.com indicates customers are doing their homework when comparing hybrids with similar gasoline-powered vehicles. For example, the Honda Civic is the second most cross-shopped vehicle among both Toyota Prius and Honda Insight shoppers.
The Polk study found hybrid vehicles represent just 2.4 percent of the overall new vehicle market in the U.S., down from a high of 2.9 percent in 2008.
Polk also found that the recent volatility in gas prices from just under $2 per gallon in 2008 to nearly $4 per gallon last year had little impact on hybrid loyalty.
Below is a ranking of hybrid loyalty among the top 15 U.S. markets, in which at least 500 people owned a hybrid.
- West Palm Beach 43.2 percent
- Phoenix 40.2 percent
- Orlando 39.9 percent
- Tampa 39.9 percent
- St. Louis 38.4 percent
- Boston 38.4 percent
- Indianapolis 37.3 percent
- Minneapolis 36.7 percent
- Seattle 36.2 percent
- Raleigh-Durham 36.1 percent
- Milwaukee 35.9 percent
- Washington, DC 35.6 percent
- San Diego 35.4 percent
- Portland 34.8 percent
- Los Angeles 34.1 percent

Aren't you the one that keeps saying Orlando is going to trade Howard for Gasol?
No. I'm saying the Lakers are in position to leverage the Magic into trading Dwight for expiring contracts, prospects and draft picks, like the Kwame-Gasol trade.
What expiring contracts?
Next season: Odom/Fisher/Walton = $18 million in expiring contracts.
And I'm fairly sure you've been the one saying that the Lakers can trade Pau for Dwight and have him play PF...
I've made a point regarding any Dwight trade that we keep Bynum and pair them up, and yes, have Dwight play PF. While trading Pau is unlikely, the Odom deal is very feasible.

Budget cuts are expected at Cherry Point and Fleet Readiness Center East, but the extent of them is not yet known, base officials said in New Bern.
While acknowledging it's unclear whether the cuts will be as severe as a possible 22 weeks of furloughs — equal to a 20 percent pay cut — for the base's nearly 5,000 civilian workers, Cherry Point officials say they are preparing for whatever may come.
Col. Philip Zimmerman, base commander for Cherry Point, and Mary Beth Fennell, production team director for FRC East and its 3,107 employees, spoke to the New Bern Area Chamber's Military Alliance members Wednesday just as Defense Department officials in Washington were outlining a cost-cutting plan that would be put in place if sequestration is triggered March 1.
That plan would result in one unpaid day off for civilian workers per week for 22 weeks.
Cherry Point has an annual economic impact of $2.1 billion on the area.
Zimmerman, who is in his fourth year as commander at Cherry Point, said he already knows the base will have $800,000 less in its baseline budget next fiscal year, but added, "I don't know what sequestration will bring. I have received no guidance on that."
For her part, Fennell said her team has been dividing its focus between the effects of the budget crisis and the workload of warplane and drone repairs, which workers have to get out the door.
They have not been formally advised a furlough will be implemented, she said.
"The Navy has been very forthcoming about the potential for furloughs — very good, almost information overload," she said. "Employees were notified to begin planning in case that does come."
She said FRC East and similar Navy repair facilities in Jacksonville, Fla., and North Island, Calif., operate like a business.
"We come up with a dollar quote, negotiate, contract, and then get the money upfront," she said. "Everything we have in house today has been funded and we have the money to pay for the work."
They were advised in January to conserve resources, put a freeze on hiring and "do not contract or purchase anything unless it is mission essential," Fennell said. "Every purchase has to go to headquarters for approval."
She said the cuts are not a reflection on FRC East employees or the workload.
"The house is full, there is lots of work and people wanting to do it," she said.
She did say unanticipated repair service inside or outside the facility has stopped.
"The Navy doesn't have that money, so that work has stopped until April 1," she said.
Kevin Roberts, director of the New Bern Chamber of Commerce, said all businesses would feel the impacts of furloughs.
"It's going to hurt all of us," he said. "Our elected officials are out on recess and this is going to hit home."
Bill Naumann, co-chairman of the chamber's Military Alliance, said base workers would make priorities
"Those employees are going to pay their mortgages and car payments," he said. "That 20 percent is money that won't be spent at area restaurants and retail businesses."
Zimmerman told the group that money was available for construction, including a plan to relocate the base armory in anticipation of the Slocum Road-U.S. 70 flyover interchange as well as an aircraft support facility.
"I just checked with Headquarters Marine Corps and don't think they are going to be a problem," he said.
He said there was $52 million in other facility restorations and modernization projects and for energy improvements in the current budget, with $22 million of the contracts to be awarded as soon as possible.
"I think fiscal year 2013 is about the same," he said.
Both Zimmerman and Fennell reported on the details of a good year at the base and positive plans for the future at Cherry Point, presently clouded by the unresolved budget crisis.
