Exits with Federal Financial Aid
Processing of federal financial aid (Title IV) for students that officially and unofficially withdrawal from Kent State University
A student is considered to have withdrawn for Title IV purposes if the student:
- Officially drops or withdraws from all courses during a semester, OR
- Stops attending at any point prior to completing the payment period and does not provide written confirmation that he or she will attend a course that begins later in the same semester.
The Department of Education in CRF34 Part 668 Federal Return Policy provides the guidelines for calculating the amount of Title IV aid that must be returned for students who withdraw. The steps used to calculate the returned amounts are as follows:
1. Determine the withdrawal date
a) Date the student withdrew , orb) Date the student provided Official Notification of intent to withdraw, orc) The midpoint of the payment period for unofficial withdrawals, ord) The last date attended as reported by the instructor in conjunction with an SF/NF grade
2. Determine the amount of earned Title IV aid
a) Determine the percent of semester/payment period completed:1) Number of days attended through withdrawal date (including weekends)2) Divided by the number of days in the semester/payment period (for full-semester
courses typically 112 days)
b) Multiply Title IV aid that was disbursed or could have been disbursed by the percent
of semester/payment period completedc) If earned Title IV aid is 60% or less, then continue to Step 3d) If earned Title IV aid is greater than 60%, then stop. No return of aid is required, as the student
is considered to have earned 100% of the Title IV funds he or she was scheduled to receive
during the semester/payment period.
3. Return Title IV funds to programs
a) Determine the amount of unearned Title IV aid (total amount of Title IV aid that was disbursed
or could have been disbursed minus amount of Title IV aid earned).b) The school returns the lesser of:
1) The amount of unearned Title IV aid, or
2) Institutional charges multiplied by the unearned percentagec) The school will also return any unearned grant funds for which he or she is responsibled) The student repays any loan amount inStep 8, Box R, according to the terms of theborrower's
promissory note.e) Order of return of Title IV aid:
1) Federal Direct Unsubsidized loans
2) Federal Direct Subsidized loans
3) Perkins loans
4) Federal Direct Graduate loans (PLUS)
5) Federal Direct Parent loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
6) Pell Grant7) Academic Competiveness Grant
8) National Smart Grant
9) Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
10) TEACH Grant
4. Determine the amount of funds that need to be returned to any state, university program, or other agency.
NOTE: The return policies for non-federal aid are determined by the various states, university programs, and agencies that award the aid. The university is obligated to honor these policies.
5. Return of any remaining funds to the student
a) All balances due to the school resulting from other obligations will be deducted from
the amount to be returned to the student.
Fees paid under mistake of law or fact are returnable in full. Any appeals to the refund policy shouldbe referred to the Bursar's Office.

Addition of Men's Volleyball Announced
September 28, 2008
MISENHEIMER, NC Bobby Stewart, Director of Athletics, announces mens volleyball will start competing as a NCAA Division II sponsored sport at Pfeiffer University in the spring 2010 semester.
Ben Guiliano, Pfeiffer Head Womens Volleyball Coach, will be the inaugural head coach of the mens volleyball team while continuing to lead the womens team. Theres a large amount of high school boys playing volleyball in certain parts of the country, like western Pennsylvania, New York, and southern California, but there arent that many college teams. The boys dont have the options the girls have at the NCAA level. This is a natural progression for Pfeiffer, especially with the support we have already seen for our womens volleyball team.
Coach Guiliano has brought great success to our womens team and I am confident he will do the same with the mens program. We are very fortunate to have somebody of his coaching caliber and experience to lead this additional program, said Stewart.
The mens volleyball program will add 12 to 14 new student-athletes to the Pfeifer community and will begin competitive play in the spring of 2010. The Falcons look to be a regional competitor against teams from Mount Olive College, Lees-McRae College, and King College. Because the NCAA mens volleyball championship is combined for Division I and II schools, Pfeiffer is looking at the possibility of bringing Division I schools such as George Mason and Princeton onto the schedule.
Please contact Coach Guiliano by emailing him at email@example.com if you are interested in becoming a Falcon volleyball player.
Pfeiffer University is a four-year, liberal arts institution located in Misenheimer, North Carolina. The Falcons compete in 17 NCAA Division II sports.

Kevin Clark / The Herald
Judd Schwarzmiller and Renee Schwarzmiller on the family farm
It's challenging to keep a family farm going, but the Schwarzmillers have pulled together to bring their piece of Snohomish County history into a new generation.
They were recognized as the 2014 Snohomish County Centennial Farm Family at the Evergreen State Fair. Each year, the county honors a farm that has been family-owned and continuously operated for a century or more.
Renee Schwarzmiller and husband Jeff Fjeld hope to set the 82-acre farm up for another 100 years of operation.
Farming means constantly adapting to changing demands, Renee said.
Past generations of her family have tried raising dairy cows, growing oats, and wheat, and apples. Lately, they switched from raising dairy cows to beef cattle, and began growing hay to feed their herd.
Renee and Jeff hope to find a way to make the farm pay for itself so future generations won't struggle to keep it going. "I feel like it's our turn," Renee said. "They've handed it to us, so we need to get it ready for the next generation."
Renee, 47, is the fifth generation of Schwarzmillers on the farm.
"And generation six is around," she said. "They come help out."
The youngest member of the sixth generation is a 20-month-old niece.
"We make sure she experiences the farm whenever she's out," Renee said.
Judd Schwarzmiller, Renee's father, handles day-to-day upkeep on the farm. He's the glue that holds it all together, Renee said. He tackles whatever problems need solving and takes care of basic chores, from feeding and checking on the animals to repairing fences and maintaining equipment.
The Schwarzmillers produce more than 2,000 bales of hay a year and have 29 cows on the farm. They're also starting to raise sheep.
A longtime family friend nominated the Schwarzmillers as the centennial farm, Judd said.
After learning about the award, Renee spent nearly two months researching her family's genealogy and digging into the history of the farm.
"It's interesting and fun to see the evolution," Renee said.
The family started out producing lumber as they cleared the land in the early 1900s. After the trees were cut down, they grew grain in the low, flat areas near the river. The Schwarzmillers have tried their hand at raising pigs, growing potatoes, milking dairy cows and gathering chicken eggs.
Renee's grandfather was also an accomplished blacksmith. The family still has the equipment he used.
Evelyn Schwarzmiller, Renee's grandmother, married onto the family farm and has been there for about 70 years. She'll be 90 next week.
"It's peaceful, it's quiet, but it's busy," Evelyn said. "We did a lot of work on it, that's for sure. We had to all work together."
She remembers the toil, cleaning out the milk tank and gathering eggs. She also remembers the joy. The family held barn dances, some to benefit the American Legion and others just for fun.
Now, Evelyn can sit with family in front of her house overlooking the fields and enjoy a sunny afternoon swapping stories with four generations of Schwarzmillers.
Zach, 27, is part of the youngest generation. He recently got married on the farm, a family tradition. He works in real estate but tries to help with the hay and animals when he can. The best part is the fresh food, particularly the steaks, he said.
Renee and Jeff enjoy the sense of accomplishment they feel after finishing a project, whether it's putting up a new fence or making it through calving season to see all the clumsy young cows rambling across the fields.
"They all band together," Jeff said. "It's just this band of hooligans."
Their accomplishments are tempered by challenges. Despite constant hard work, it's nearly impossible to get a family farm to be self-supporting, Judd said.
It's difficult to spend enough time on the farm.
"You're not going to make enough money to make a living, so you have to have a day job," Jeff said. "You have to have at least one person off the farm to pay for the farm."
Jeff and Renee work as denturists in Snohomish.
But Renee said she'd like to focus more on the farm. She and Jeff aim to set things up so it pays for itself.
They plan to create a largely in-house operation by growing all of the hay for their animals, butchering the beef cattle and selling directly to private buyers. They already sell most of their beef directly to people who hear about the farm through word of mouth.
"We want to create a business that can keep on going," Renee said. "But you have to change, just like all the changes that have happened since 1903, so that in 100 years, we'll still be here."
"Yeah," Jeff agreed. "It'll be generation 12 by then."

Already posted in the other thread, but just wanted to reiterate a congratulations to all who advanced, and to everyone else who put up a helluva fight, including my opponent Hyver.
Heh, instead of savoring this brief moment of victory, I've been sweatin' bullets wondering who I'm going up against in the next round.

0kelvin - of course the authors name would be official after the judging
I think its hard to not be biased even on a subconcious level when watching entries and who did them. also, sure some will be recognizable with their style and all, but I still think that would be a minority. I would never have guessed m@'s piece for example as that wasn't his usual style or theme.

Shit! I'm so late with my reply.
For me there's only 1 true winner in this round, apart from all the eye candy
others produced.
m@ damn !!! The piece took a moment to take in
but then just tears sprung to my eyes.
The emotional and political theme he put in with so little is superb !
Definately the best interpretation of the subject 'escape' hands down.
Especially because it's soo true! They are in fact not there when it happens!
You've got my total respect m@
anyway I look forward to see what everyone else produces in the next rounds
Good luck everyone!

I'm gonna be honest here, and I don't intend to hurt anyone's feelings. But, by now, you all probably know I usually speak my mind. For once this won't be the if-you-can't-say-anything-nice-don't-say-it-at-all post, simply because I'm sad and angry to see that a lot of amazing artists aren't moving on to the next rounds.
Match 1. I'm really sorry, but it looks like m@ just discovered PS texture brushes for the first time. Things are mushy and blurry and distracting from whatever is going on. ZERO people voted for Proteus? ZERO votes? Proteus' piece may not have the best in accuracy, but it looks like he really pushed to create a full illustration with background, action, humans, and vehicles. Seriously. Not one vote for that?
Poise's piece blew me away in Match 8. I believe it's one of her absolute best. It showed both an amazing idea, and amazing artwork to make that idea come to fruition. Main Loop had a great idea, but the composition and anatomy is off to the point of being distracting from the piece.
Match 9 was an odd choice for winner because there was clearly so much more effort involved in the rendering of the 2 losing paintings.
Match 11 seems so out of place. The winning entry was the least detailed and least thought out. It was cliche, had Photoshop stamped all over it, and looked as though no time was spent on it at all in comparison to the losing 2. I know I've seen Tyranx do so much more amazing quality, so I'm entirely confused as to how his piece was chosen.
Match 17, I'm a little confused by, but I think it's more personal taste so I don't know. But I feel that the losing 2 were a bit better rendered.
Match 22. Wow. Really? El Coro's bottom half wasn't even properly cropped to match the top half. There's a big white line down the left side. I liked the idea, but c'mon. Did he get the votes simply because he is El Coro? Did the judges not see the cropping? I think it was very very big of him to give his win to Dave Palumbo. I respect that a hell of a lot, when the actual "winning" artist has a better sense of who is worthy of the win than the judges in this case.
Match 26. I know humor usually gets votes and Summer's is a bit cliche in idea, but the lighting and depth in Summer Pudding's piece is spectacular while Rusty's is sketchy and flat.
Match 30 (removed so I can prove my point about the better rating system.)
And to give a constructive idea (amongst my seemingly apparent bitterness) that would better suit the voting system, I believe each piece should be voted on, and given a rating between 1 - 10. 1 being absolute BS and 10 being perfect in every way possible. No one should be receiving a 1 unless it is obvious that they are incapable of creating a stick man and no one should be given a 10 unless the image is flawless. This would ensure that no one receives zero votes. It also is a much more accuate and fair method of voting for what we all do: artwork. No one here is worthy of zero votes, and that sort of method doesn't tell much about the pieces when a judge is only capable of choosing 1. Imagine instead, that one piece is rated an 8 and the other is rated a 6, and the third is a 9. This scale method says much more about the actual art, as more time is taken to actual judge the individual images, rather than a judge being forced to choose just one. Please take this into consideration for the next battle round so that the image is rated and not simply abandoned.
OK, fire away. I just couldn't sit back in silence any longer.

There were a few rounds I was surprised with the voting results and wish some people had made it through while others not, but I also understand that the judges aren't me, and see things through different eyes.
A rating system used by the judges, as Magicgoo suggested, could work better. Might help reduce any bias that could occur during judging and would probably reduce the chance of a stalemate between entries and the need for more judges.
EDIT: The system works well now, and of course implementing a rating system would be more work, for Cody and the judges. The rating system is only an idea, and considering we're already into the third round, wouldn't make much sense to implement. Perhaps something to consider for the next LMS.

uh oh.........do you guys hear that? i could be wrong, but, no wait! there it is...thats the unmistakable sound of the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE!!!
c'mon guys? really why make it more complicated than it really is? so we can all feel good about ourselves cuz we got a vote cuz we twied so hawd?
i respect the hell out of all the judges in this and previous thunderdomes, and see no reason to open it up to let the public decide. the general public, are, in fact typically the worst judges in terms of taste. id prefer to let the professionals sort it out. i have been a judge for a few of these, and im always quick to vote for what i feel is the better image, plain and simple. some people might not agree with me, but we are all entitled to our opinions. i myself am just happy that cody is generous enough to give his time to these tdomes, and am sensitive to the fact that the more complicated these things get, the more the man has to work. the system is not perfect, but i think its a damn good system. and id rather have judges who's eyes i respect wieghing in their opinions than open it up to a vote.....-c36
October 1st, 2006 #267
Ursula, art is not countable, "much art", not "many art". I don't think we can give such a discrete rating (6 or 8 or 5) to our subjective feeling about art work.
Another thing in my opinion, we need to accept judges decision. Because it is a system of trust in some way. It has some weak sides, but if we took it in the beginning of the contest we need to stick with it. I might think differently about entries, but I play by rules we chose in the beginning. Or it will be chaos and endless arguing and lost of trust and attraction to the contest..
In my eyes people who didn't get farther are not losers in any sense. Just didn't go farther because of the rules.
October 1st, 2006 #268
I had a pretty long drawn out retort, but felt it was best just to summarize:
Point number 1 - Cody's dome, Cody's rules. Don't like? Don't play.
Point number 2 - Judges are not receiving free Nanos to do this so show some respect for their participation. Disagree? Fine, but there's a reason why these people do what they do and are successful at it. Learn from their reasoning rather than fight it. (You still don't have to agree, but learn anyway; The bottom line should be to learn something from all of this so you can become a stronger more competent artist).
Point number 3 - The amount of time you spend on a piece is never a way to measure its success. Also, a more finished looking piece does not mean it is more valid than something done in a loose style. Finished or unfinished, it's what you set out to achieve and how closely you came to your goal in the end that counts. Did you want an ultra photo realistic rendering but ended up with a sketchy and/or anatomically incorrect painting? Then it is an unsuccessful piece. If you wanted a sketchy stylized piece with a loose painterly style, and got just that, then its successful. And if it only took you three hours to do, that's no reason not to deserve to move on. I think this is along the lines of what happened in Match 30.
October 1st, 2006 #269
I have to say it REALLY ticks me off that the guy who beat me didn't submit.
Some critique; Not saying anything about "who shoulda won" or "This piece shouldn't have won", because that's not my decision.
Match 1
M@: I gotta agree with the Goo here. I also don't really like the blue.. I think something purplish would have complimented the skin a little better.
Proteus' was awesome, though It would have been cool if the guy's suit had folds and stuff to show the penetration better.
I am sad to see BOON not submit...
Match 2
Very nice Posh, though I think her leg is just slightly stiff and long (though it probably fits the perspective, it looks just a bit too long). It's a classical piece and the execution is awesome.
Cody, not much for the concept (but it is innovative and original), and the only real problem I see with it is that the brush strokes are very visible, and it kinda makes the piece feel less "done".
SBA: The girl doesn't really look too sweaty or tired, just a bit banged up. I think you could have also handled the perspective better, the truck and the house seem on different planes a bit.
Match 3
David; I love the sense of foreshadowing (not foreshortening) the piece has, the only thing I see is that the girl's head looks a bit too big in comparison with her body.
Mr. Visions, The only thing I think detracts are the hands that aren't there... It would have been a great spot to do something cool I think, it is the only thing I am not fond of in the piece, mostly because I don't know what it is. James Kei, we know you work hard ;D
Match 4
Robinchyo; Almost no crits; the only thing, which is very subjective, is that I think it is a bit stiff, and perhaps it could have been more of a "jump" than a "run". But that's just my opinion.
yAdam, if the figures were up to par with the monster, this would be a great piece. No real crits other than that.
Match 5
DUTTON! Dutton dutton- this is such an AWESOME PIECE! It's brilliant! My only comment is on his lower leg, it looks sort of funny but I couldn't say why. The colors and the expressions are freakin' INCREDIBLE! Kudos man, Kudos.
Hyver; The composition is delightful! My only crits are the colors, which sometimes seem muddy, or out of place because of saturation. That, and the bear- Not sure if you used reference, but I think the bear hurts the piece a bit.
Match 6
Gringo; Sometimes I really like your lines, other times not so much; This time I like the lines, but not the colors. There are parts of his suit that are all pinched and stuff? I'm not sure why- but it sort of ruins a "clean" stylization you have otherwise. Tryin' to figure out the Naked chick too.
Helzon; Cool piece! Her arms are slightly unreadable, and I would have seen the lightsource effect the BG more, but overall, the characters and designs are good, the colors are good, the anatomy is good. Nice work! =)
Johanson, Great concept, though I think more emphasis could be placed on his hands. The composition and flow of action is nice, but I think you should have varied your pallette just a bit, some parts blend a bit too much. Other than that it is a real nice piece.
Match 7
No crits at all for this Match.
Nicolas, yours was simply awesome. The small pink strip on the bottom added a sort of back story to the characters that I think really makes the scene hit home that much more.
Hurricane, this one is just funny. The gestures, the expression, and the colors. Nice!
Match 8
BDub; I think the guy should have been farther up on the ladder, as is, the compostion seems really unbalanced. It's a good concept, but some of the people seem inconsistent with the lighting scheme. Perhaps you should introduce more yellow into the highlights, or more bluish into the shadows.
Main Loop; What an EXPRESSION! This is a GREAT piece, hands down. The only thing I am not fond of is the anatomy in the girl to the left. Her head seems just a bit too big for her body.
Tiffany; My favorite part is the unsymmetry between the ladies. It's so... natural and fitting... I just love it so much!
Match 9
Spraynation; The bike seems a bit out of perspective, and the figures I think could have been better, but overall, with the concept, the composition, the colors and all, it is a great piece.
Min; WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH. Those faces in the explosion- so radical! There is something about the colors that bugs me, but I don't know what it is- but this is definitley an incredible piece.
Ghill; I think the lines around the figure sort of hurt the piece, along with the lack of contrast in his skin, and the colors. The concept is sort of stale, but the pose is done well, but the background seems like a cop out, and alot of the lines are still visible which kind of hurts the piece as well..
Match 10
No crits, aside from I think Fedezz went slightly overboard on the textures, just a little. GREAT pieces, from all of you.
Match 11
MIKECO-err, MikeCorriero;
I remember you saying (in your exclusive book I think) that you need to work on vehicles- don't want to be rude but I couldn't agree more. Great piece aside from the bike, which just look terribley skewed I'm afraid- Especially the water. I can see you payed special attention to that even though noone would hardly notice it =)
Tyranx; Very simple, very cool.
RasselTass; I love it- the colors, the scene, the action! My favorite of this match, which is quite a match indeed.
Match 12
No crits; Matches like this make my life easier
Praise to Kelv for goin Grayscale, and the incredible details. Mr. Potato head, 2 furbies, trolls, Optimus Prime, buzz lightyear.. the gangs all here!
Match 13
Arkady; It's fairly messy, and not in a stylish kinda way.. The birdcage seems muddily colored, and her face isn't hardly effected by the light. I assume you were busy, because I know you can do better!
Stace; Great piece, I'm no horse anatomist, but the pose looks a bit like he's gonna crash and burn... other than that, I love it.
Match 14
No crits!
Match 15
Again no crits; great, great, great match.
Match 16
Shamagim; I think the gnomes falling back could be grabbing on to something to emphasize them flying back-
Other than that, zero critsos.
Match 17
Nacho; Great piece overall- I think the kid is slightly out of perspective, but you managed to capture a very dream-like scene with the way you handled the BG- very nicely done.
Dreck; Looks like you had fun with the overaly adjustments? The piece is a bit messy, but it got a giggle out of me.
No Crits for Andy!
Match 18
No crits again? These matches are getting better each time! o_o
Match 19
Shadoman: I think some of the materials and the composition could have been handled more effectivley, but for what it is, it is pretty good.
No crits for Plobo
Gloominati: It loks like more of a battle than an escape to me- the character doesn't seem to be going anywhere other than into the fray. The Anatomy on alot of the figures seems very off, I think if you would have used reference it would have benefitted you greatly.
Match 20
Again, NO crits! Just... great FANFREAKIN TASTIC JOB for both of yas!
Match 21
Ditto... Kudos to Simon for the sequential.
Match 22
Clubb, the perspective on the main guy is very nice, but alot of the pic seems flat;
As for you two.. Dave, you know what I think- Coro,
I love you, I really do. But you creep me the fuck out sometimes.
Match 23
I you all
Match 24
This is such a classic Vyle piece! haha! Good work.
Yumiko; The thing I love the most are the clouds; It's a great piece overall- only 2 things really get my goat/ram if you will- The colors... something about em, maybe all the black in the piece, sorta leaves me hanging. The composition too, it took me a while to discover who was escaping-
But those is some damn nice clouds.
Iolarnula; I like the composition, very dynamic! To tell the truth if this was happening at sunset, or over an ocean, or something that added more to the piece, I would really dig it, but just the clouds seems sort of boring. The ray is done very well though!
Match 25
First 2; Funny and done really well. Good work!
Snarfevs; Everything is shiny and glisteny and stuff. Everything! even the rocks! You seem to have set aside the anatomy and perspective for the rendering and concept, which I think really hurts your piece. The background seems totally irrelevant to the rest of the piece, and it's more of an assasination than an escape.
Match 26
2 wonderful pieces, Rusty's is so funny! And Summer Puddings is just beautiful.
Match 27
Badger; I think you could have been more meticulous with details and had a better outcome; along with a few more higher highlights.
Mythmaker; It's a great piece, awesome colors; It's just really busy, and I can't tell wether it's supposed to be day or night- but It's a nice piece.
Romance; Great, stunning, beautiful. No crits.
Match 28
Jason Chan is totally gonna lose this round.
I will use this time to be mad at Theif for beating me, being faced against the Chan man, and NOT EVEN SUBMITTING!!!!! =( Perhaps Jason, I could make it up to you by doing a little private T-Dome if you feel so compelled?
Shame on Fidi as well! THIS Was supposed to be one of the best matches evar! I just hope it was because something personal happened or something like too many deadlines.. if it's because of laziness, that would totally BLOW! =(
Match 29
Manley and Bowlin, Good luck competing with Matt's boobies. Kudos to Jason though for going Blacknwhite.
Match 30
Robot, awesome piece, same to you Goo-
but I am depressed Helium couldn't do a piece. Though I suppose it's better for you 2, ain't it? =)
WHEW! Hour an a half or some such! And it didn't get deleted! woot!
Good luck to all, and better luck next time to the ones who don't make it!

Well, there was the right amount of "tilt" in it I think, but I think you just didn't quite foreshorten it enough. Just by a little though =) The water was STUNNING Btw. Just really loved the water.

It takes an Academy to raise a garden, or at least to beautify one.
Nearly a dozen children of Queen Street Academy, a local afterschool program, spent their day off from their respective schools painting sheds at Kinston's community garden.
"On teacher work days or days where the kids aren't in school, we operate all day," said the Academy Director Jane McAllister. "(It is) kind of like a summer camp. We wanted to come out, reach out to the community and get the Queen Street Academy kids involved."
With supplies provided by the garden, Academy children and administrators braved chilly winds to fill in sketches of fruit, flowers and tools such as shovels.
"I had to rest for a few minutes because my hands were freezing," said 14-year-old Jacob Rhodes, who used a break to rave about ECU basketball. "I like painting out here, I just like it."
The project was an extension of the city's efforts to revive a major corridor. In September, Kinston received a $100,000 Community Development Block Grant that city officials used to revitalize the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard strip.
Combined with $25,000 of city funds, the grant's purpose was to improve general aesthetics on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, such as paving sidewalks and planting trees, and to make it more appealing by removing some of the abandoned properties.
The five acres where the community garden stands was an abandoned junk yard damaged by a flood in 1999. Master Gardener Lee Albritton said the garden efforts — investing nearly $30,000 without much financial support from the local government — are in conjunction with the city's project to revitalize the area.
"We see our project as sort of leveraging that investment by the city to improve the aesthetics of this corridor that comes through east Kinston," he said. "Plus, this is an important gateway to Kinston, and we want to beautify this gateway for people coming in."
He added the garden was a good example of how to put an abandoned space to a productive use.
"All this is stuff that we are mining and getting out of the soil to make room for gardening, so we're constantly picking up glass, stone and metal," said Albritton as he looked at multiple buckets of raw materials lacing the garden fencing. "Hopefully over time, we'll have it cleaned up. We're trying to create this place where it would be attractive for parents and kids to … be outside and develop a relationship with nature. Another factor (to the garden) is growing healthy children."
Project Bloom is the official name for the plan to restore the land via the garden and a planted fruit orchard, which includes apple and pear trees. In the garden's second growing season, there are strawberries, mixed greens and cabbage among the crops planted. Community members or organizations can rent plots for $15 per year and use any supplies on site.
"The garden allows families to come out and have access to land, water and tools they need to grow food," Albritton said.
He continued, "We're trying to address hunger and childhood obesity. The keys to addressing those are access to food — healthy food — and, of course, exercise. Kids need to be outdoors. It's really important to their development."
The Academy children climbed stepstools to reach higher drawings to paint on the shed. They ran from side to side when they finished filling in one sketch, needing new colors or even a new brush.
"I had that brush when I started painting," said Nicholas Harvey, 8, while looking towards a faulty paintbrush. "It wouldn't (paint) like this brush would."
After switching, he said, "I like just to have fun painting."
Tracy Gough, Queen Street Academy program director, stepped back to supervise the young painters and said, "Hopefully, (the kids will take away) a sense of community, learn to work together, help benefit the community and make it a better place to grow up."

I'd say Mugler Cologne, of the ones I've tried. After that, Gendarme; but I prefer Mugler right now.
Prada is too strong for me. It smells like I used a very, very strong smelling soap, and I don't like it any more.
I'm looking for a soapy clean and fresh scent that will last. Prada Infusion d' Homme is close to perfect for this role but is just a bit sweet and goes a little toward the feminine side, though I still love it.
I have read great things about Mugler Cologne, but I can't quite make up my mind. I was just wondering what else fits the bill.
I have Rive Gauche PH on the way to me, which seems fresh in a different way.

I'm playing with you. Moustache is one of the dirtiest smells ever bottles. Musc Nomade, as the name might suggest, is rather musky, a very acrid musk at that.I will also have a look at Moustache and Musc Nomade. Though I am reading that Moustache has a civet scent?
Another for Mugler Cologne
Nasomatto Silver Musk
Mugler cologne, Gendarme, Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, Creed Original Vetiver & Prada Amber pour homme all fit the bill. The best values out of these would be Mugler and Gendarme IMO. Gendarme is probably the "simplest" and least feminine of the group. Generally, though, the clean/soapy scents could all be considered unisex. My favorite out of the bunch, just based on smell alone, is Neroli Portofino. It's also the most expensive per ml unfortunately.
To me, it takes the best of Mugler & Gendarme & leaves out the "worst" (although neither really have "bad" elements). I like the prada, but it's not really an every day for me and is more of a "dress up" fragrance. Creed OV has a similar smell/vibe to Mugler, but if it weren't for the price, many would prefer it to the Mugler. I'd suggest getting samples of all, or at least a few of these and see which one wears best on your skin. Good luck...the "soapy" scents are some of my go-to favorites when I just want a break from the heavier stuff, or simply want to smell fresh & clean and nothing else.
Prada Amber ph
I'll go with Creed Original Vetiver.
Hard work never killed anyone, but why risk it?
Here are the samples I went with from PC:
Mugler Cologne
Gendarme Sky
Gendarme 20
Creed Vetiver
Rochas por Homme
Azul/Animale Parfums
Snarky is as snarky does.
Neroli Portofino
Original Vetiver
I also suggest Neroli Portofino. It has a great Neroli note that is backed by some citrus while remaining very fresh and suprisingly light with good longevity overall.
I also really enjoy Original Vetiver. It's sort of like Mugler cologne, but I think the OV is much better.
Many great scents has already been mentioned! Especially Mugler cologne, Gendarme (try both the Gendarmes for men and Gendarme Carrierre since clean scents are easily unisex as fit&frag'd mentioned), Nasomatto Silver Musk, Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco (affordable!). I'd like to add Il Profumo Musc Bleu (really smells like soap) and Escentric Molecules "Molecule 02" which isn't a classic clean fragrance but smells divine. Good luck!
To add a few that haven't been mentioned yet..
MFK Aqua Universalis/Forte
L'eau Serge Lutens
Tauer Orange Star
All three smell like a laundromat.
Yes . . . I like Infusion d'Homme and it is practically perfect for clean, soapy and fresh.
After that I'd reach for:
Eaux de Caron Pure http://www.basenotes.net/ID26120545.html
Versace Baby Blue Jeans http://www.basenotes.net/ID26120154.html
Or, failing all else . . . this:

I've never smelt Mugler before, but Creed Original Vetiver was my first Creed and I found it a very mild and delicate scent. Of course it's best used in the summer, but I can see it working on some days in other seasons too.
I can fully recommend Creed Original Vetiver, especially if you like Mugler Cologne. To me, Original Vetiver is in the same ballpark scentwise, but with more quality and a drydown that smells better and more natural.
Huge difference? For me it's enough to warrant the Creed, but I guess that's not for everyone. At least try it out.

Mugler Cologne
Prada Infusion, Prada Amber, Creed OV, Kouros, Sung Homme.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Sung Homme is a beast. If you want soap coming out of your ears this is it.
Mugler Cologne is nice. I prefer Infusion D'Homme because it lasts longer on me, but if it's too sweet then Mugler Cologne should suffice.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
I do recommend Original Vetiver and also Prada Infusion d'Hommme if you want clean and soapy. I really like Prada Amber pour Homme but I don't seem to get as much soap in this as others. It's a great fragrance and definitely clean, but at least for me, not as soapy as the other two.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Gendarme is exactly what you are looking for. Dry cleaned and showered. Women love this scent.
Mugler Cologne works well for these purposes. It is actually based on the scent of a soap Mugler used as a child.
I also use Clean Provence when I want to smell freshly showered as it is also based on the scent of a soap. Can be found online at very inexpensive prices.
Prada Iris d'Infusion (original/femme/unisex) is very clean, but a bit more complex - it references a soapy vibe but smells like a fragrance.
Others you may want to check out:
Bond No. 9 "Fire Island", which is allegedly the scent of Bain de Soliel tanning lotion, but I get more of an airy saltwater/laundry/soap vibe - well executed but pricey.
Jennifer Aniston - sort of "Gendarme" meets "Bobbi Brown Beach" - very clean/chlorinated pool water/soap/coppertone - this is what I wore daily last summer
My "cloak of invisibility" is a crafter's fragrance oil dupe of Downey April Fresh which I blend in perfumer's alcohol. It costs me about $3/100ml. This is the ultimate in fresh and clean as you literally smell of fresh laundry. It certainly doesn't have a lot of personality, but that is the whole point of "fresh and clean" isn't it? Hygiene as a personal aesthetic.
Mugler Cologne
Prada Amber Pour Homme
Gendarme Sky
Serge Lutens L'eau
Aqua Universalis
Aqua Universalis Forte
Sung Homme
Coton Egyptien
Champaca Absoluta
These are the more closer renditions of soapy fragrances. Others have a soapy vibe such as Original Vetiver, Grey Vetiver, Fire Island but overall don't conjure up the idea of soapy.
Try each one and decide what you like best because after all, fragrances are entirely subjective.

I like Mugler cologne, but I prefer Creed's Original Vetiver.
I would add Sologne PDN, a lovely neroli centered eau de cologne. In fact, GF Trumper Eau de Cologne is really good at that too
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
Drakkar Noir has always been the definition of soapy in my opinion.
Mugler Cologne.

This morning the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the shutdown-delayed September employment report. It certainly wasn't worth the wait. BLS reported that the economy added 148,000 nonfarm payroll jobs and 126,000 private sector payroll jobs during September and that the unemployment rate dipped to 7.2%.
Today's report did nothing to close this recovery's job creation gap with prior recoveries. Since private sector payroll employment hit bottom in February 2010, the economy has added 7.6 million private sector jobs over the 43 months, a gain of 7.1%. In other recoveries since 1960, private sector payroll employment grew an average of 11.4%. That leaves this recovery with a private sector jobs gap of 4.6 million compared to the average of other post-1960 recoveries. The deficit compared to the Reagan recovery is even more pronounced with the private sector job creation gap standing at 7.0 million.
The 0.1 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate was the result of rounding up in the August report and rounding down in the current report. Despite recent declines in the unemployment rate to 7.2% from its October 2009 peak of 10.0%, the percentage of the adult population that is employed has actually decreased since the end of the recession. Factoring out declines in labor force participation since January 2009 would yield an unemployment rate of 10.8% far above the reported 7.2% and promised "stimulus rate" of 5.0%.
Since the recession ended, the percentage of adult Americans who are employed has declined by 0.8 percentage point. This compares with an increase of 3.8 percentage points during the strong recovery of the 1980s.
While this the period covered by this report was prior to the partial government shutdown, it is certain that the White House will once again try to shift blame away from the Administration for the economy's poor performance. One can expect the White House to engage in a public relations effort to lay the ground work to blame the partial federal government shutdown for disappointing economic news in the weeks to come. The JEC Republican staff will be prepared to address any false or misleading claims the White House makes in this regard.

At the end of the tenancy, a landlord must return the tenant's security deposit or give the tenant a written explanation as to why the deposit or any part of it has not been returned, Minnesota Statute 504B. 178. Interest on the security deposit is calculated as simple noncompound interest per year. The interest rate is 3% per year until August 1, 2003 and 1% per year thereafter.
The landlord must make the refund within 21 days after the day the tenancy ends. The tenant must give the landlord a forwarding address. If the tenant has to leave because the building was condemned, the landlord must return the deposit within five (5) days after the tenant leaves, again the tenant must give the landlord a forwarding address or delivery instructions. This does not apply if the condemnation was the tenant's fault through his/her malicious or irresponsible conduct.
If the landlord does not return the security deposit in the time allowed, the landlord must pay the tenant an amount equal to two times the amount of the deposit wrongfully withheld, plus interest. Minnesota law allows a landlord to withhold from a security deposit only the amount necessry for unpaid rent, damages to the rental unit beyond ordinary wear and tear, or other money owed to the landlord under an agreement, Minnesota Statute 504B.178 subd. 3(b)(1).
When the landlord's interest in the property ends (for example, because of death, foreclosure or contract for deed cancellation), the security deposit must be transferred to either the new owner of the tenant. This transfer must be done within 60 days after the current landlord's interest in the property ends or when the new landlord is required to return the security deposit under the rules as discussed previously, whichever comes first.

School of Pharmacy well represented at Florida, Pennsylvania state government events
|LECOM School of Pharmacy Bradenton students participated in Legislative Days in Tallahassee, Fla. Pictured, from left, are LECOM Bradenton students Michael Berns, Cassandra Karish, Rebecca Nelson, James Le, Jayme Dinsmore, Parijat Ali, Sara Lammers and Rochelle Forsyth; Fallon Enfinger, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice; and Dr. Karen Whalen, President of the Florida Pharmacy Association.
LECOM School of Pharmacy students in Erie, Pa., and Bradenton, Fla., took advantage of a unique opportunity to visit with their respective state legislators recently.
In Harrisburg, Pa., a group of student pharmacists and faculty from LECOM demonstrated how pharmacists can save healthcare dollars and improve public health outcomes at a special Legislative Day. The day included screenings, displays, and information provided by Pennsylvania's seven schools of pharmacy, and LECOM students distinguished themselves by providing information to attendees regarding poison prevention.
Participants met individually with legislators and staffers to discuss important issues of the profession focusing on the need for providing fair audits, mandatory mail order and preserving the patient's freedom of choice, collaborative care and expanding scope of practice, and eliminating the age restriction on pharmacist provided immunizations. This important opportunity for pharmacists to have their voices heard and to stress the significance of issues facing pharmacy today was a crucial step in advancing the practice of pharmacy.
LECOM students who participated in the event included Chanttel Melquist, Celestine Ichoku, Arpit Mehta, Kristina Snyder, Christan Mychajlonka, Lauren Hajdu, Paul Kessler, Nathan Dahl, Lauren Funwela, Benjamin Vroman and Ashley Hartley. Faculty members Sachin Devi, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Hilary Powell, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice, also attended the event.
Prior to the students' Harrisburg visit with legislators, the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association held its third annual Government Relations Advocacy for Student Pharmacists (GRASP) program at its Harrisburg office. LECOM School of Pharmacy students Cory Ulisse and Benjamin Vroman were selected to attend the program.
The GRASP program is a three day legislative conference which focuses on government relations, legislative action, media training, and the regulatory process. Twenty-three students from six pharmacy schools in Pennsylvania attended the conference, held directly across the street from the state capitol, allowing students to visualize the place their legislative discussions could one day lead them. Guest speakers from a variety of practice settings addressed the student pharmacists, introducing them to the legislative side of pharmacy.
In Florida, nine LECOM student pharmacists visited with legislatures in Tallahassee to discuss important issues related to the pharmacy profession. The students also participated in the Florida Pharmacy Association (FPA) health fair held within the capitol building rotunda.
The ninth annual Florida Pharmacists Legislative Days and Health Fair began with a legislative briefing and visits with legislators. The FPA noted that more than 200 pharmacists and pharmacy students registered for the event to provide input on pharmacy and other related health care issues.
LECOM School of Pharmacy Bradenton students and faculty participating in this event included Michael Berns, Cassandra Karish, Rebecca Nelson, James Le, Jayme Dinsmore, Parijat Ali, Sara Lammers, Rochelle Forsyth, Alvana Nicaj, and Fallon Enfinger, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice.

JON CARDINELLI and RYAN VREDE analyse the key match-ups and pick the winners at the weekend.
The perfect round of calls continues to elude the keo.co.za wise men, but at the very least we're back in some sort of form as the competition approaches the business end.
This week, both JC and Vrede are backing the Bulls to take five log points off the Rebels and top the South African conference. The Sharks and Cheetahs should make it three wins out of four for the SA contingent, while the hapless Lions will do well just to keep the Chiefs honest.
HURRICANES vs BLUES, WELLINGTON, FRI 09:35
VREDE'S CALL: I've backed the Blues too often this season, underestimating just how awful they actually are. Every week brings a new level of incompetence and last week's defeat exhibited all their limitations in full measure. The Canes don't have the pack to absolutely blow them away, but they will be tactically good enough to win comfortably. Canes by 10
JC'S CALL: I won't even pretend to know what Pat Lam's doing with his selections. Of all the Blues' problems, I don't think Gareth Anscombe has been detrimental to their cause. Michael Hobbs at flyhalf? He's looked uncertain when he's played there before, and now that the team is really devoid of go-forward and leadership, I can't see him stepping up to the plate. The Blues forwards have been poor, and Piri Weepu's service from the base has been slow. The Hurricanes should fancy a win in Welly. Canes by 7
Hurricanes – 15 Andre Taylor, 14 Cory Jane, 13 Conrad Smith (c), 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 TJ Perenara, 8 Victor Vito, 7 Karl Lowe, 6 Faifili Levave, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Ben May.
Subs: 16 Motu Matu'u, 17 Reg Goodes, 18 Jack Lam, 19 Brad Shields, 20 Chris Eaton, 21 Charlie Ngatai, 22 Alapati Leiua.
Blues – 15 Hadleigh Parkes, 14 Rene Ranger, 13 Benson Stanley, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 George Moala, 10 Michael Hobbs, 9 Piri Weepu, 8 Peter Saili, 7 Luke Braid (c), 6 Chris Lowrey, 5 Ali Williams, 4 Filo Paulo, 3 Charlie Faumuina, 2 Tom McCartney, 1 Tevita Mailau.
Subs: 16 James Parsons, 17 Angus Ta'avao, 18 Liaki Moli, 19 Daniel Braid, 20 Alby Mathewson, 21 Lachie Munro, 22 David Raikuna.
REBELS vs BULLS, MELBOURNE, FRI 11:40
VREDE'S CALL: The Rebels are reeling after Danny Cipriani left suddenly, and with James O'Connor sidelined through injury they have no quality replacements to fill the void at flyhalf. Not that either would have prevented the Bulls from notching up a win in their first tour match off the back of a dominant physical performance, a strong set piece challenge and suffocating kick-chase method. The Rebels don't have the personnel to counter their approach and will become increasingly expansive as the match progresses, which will simply serve to strengthen the Bulls' challenge. The three-time champions must improve their defence, which has been uncharacteristically poor to date. I think they will to set up an easy win. Bulls by 12
JC'S CALL: The focus for the Bulls should be the collisions and the breakdowns. The Rebels are far more competitive when they play in Melbourne, and have been known to test a few of the better sides at the point of contact. If the Bulls can keep the ball away from the Rebels, that is protect the ball and keep turnovers to a minimum, they will ensure that the game remains structured. And in a structured game, you'd back the Bulls to bulldoze an inferior Rebels pack. If the Bulls establish a good lead in the first half, the bonus point should be a formality in the second. Bulls by 17
Rebels – 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Lachlan Mitchell, 11 Cooper Vuna, 10 Kurtley Beale, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Tim Davidson, 6 Luke Jones, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Rodney Blake, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Nic Henderson.
Subs: 16 Adam Freier, 17 Jono Owen, 18 Al Campbell, 19 Ryan Hodson, 20 Richard Kingi, 21 James Hilgendorf, 22 Stirling Mortlock
Bulls – 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Jacques Potgieter, 6 CJ Stander, 5 Juandré Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling.
Subs: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouché, 22 Johann Sadie.
CHIEFS vs LIONS, PUKEKOHE, SAT 09:35
VREDE'S CALL: Mitchell's Touring Circus will roll into Pukekohe, but will lack the acts to convince the residents of the blink-and-you-miss-it town to tear themselves away from their Saturday evening activities and pay to watch their team demolish the hopeless tourists. Even with a number of key players rested the Chiefs will be vastly superior in every facet of the game. The Lions' rudderless and impotent expansive approach will be easily repelled, with the Chiefs striking from broken field and general play alike. Chiefs by 18
JC'S CALL: To build on the circus theme, the Lions lack a ringmaster of any real conviction. In Elton Jantjies they have a capable goal-kicker and a flyhalf who is dangerous when fed with front-foot ball, but that sort of momentum has not been forthcoming. The leadership in the pack is lacking, and while Mitchell has spoken about plans to negate the Chiefs' presence it will be up to the Lions players themselves to execute the ploy. And once the Lions are on the back foot, it will be open gates as Sonny Bill Williams and Richard Kahui rush at that fragile midfield defence. Chiefs by 20
Chiefs – 15 Andrew Horrell, 14 Lelia Masaga, 13 Richard Kahui, 12 Sonny Bill Williams, 11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Brendon Leonard, 8 Kane Thompson, 7 Sam Cane, 6 Tanerau Latimer, 5 Michael Fitzgerald, 4 Craig Clarke (c), 3 Ben Tameifuna, 2 Hika Elliot, 1 Toby Smith.
Subs: 16 Mahonri Schwalger, 17 Arizona Taumalolo, 18 Alex Bradley, 19 Scott Waldrom, 20 Tawera Kerr- Barlow, 21 Jackson Willison, 22 Maritino Nemani.
Lions – 15 Andries Coetzee, 14 Deon van Rensburg, 13 Jaco Taute, 12 Alwyn Hollenbach, 11 Lionel Mapoe, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Ross Cronje, 8 Josh Strauss (c), 7 Grant Hattingh, 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Franco van der Merwe, 3 Pat Cilliers, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 Caylib Oosthuizen/JC Janse van Rensburg.
Subs: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Cobus Grobbelaar, 19 Jaco Kriel, 20 Tian Meyer, 21 James Kamana, 22 Michael Killian.
BRUMBIES vs WARATAHS, CANBERRA, SAT 11:40
VREDE'S CALL: The Brumbies have been impressive under Jake White, building their success on physical and accurate defence and the erosive phase play that was a hallmark of their most successful teams. They haven't lost their ability to enthrall with ball in hand, though, and their all-round quality will be too much for the Tahs to cope with. The Sydney side were competent on attack against the Crusaders last week but their defence was easily breached as a result of the line-depleting phase play that preceded the Kiwi side's wide attacks. The Brumbies will work from that blueprint and while they don't have the players of the Saders' calibre to shred the visitors to ribbons, they will have the tools to ensure their rise continues. Brumbies by 7
JC'S CALL: The Waratahs are suffering from an identity crisis, they can't decide if they want to be entertainers or a successful rugby team. That once intimidating pack is no longer as effective, and the lack of synergy in the backs continues to cost them. By comparison, the Brumbies are less experienced but importantly they play as a collective. The better team will prevail over the superior individuals in Canberra. Brumbies by 6
Brumbies – 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Christian Lealiifano, 9 Nic White, 8 Fotu Auelua, 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Ben Mowen (c), 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander. Subs: 16 Anthony Hegarty, 17 Ruaidhri Murphy, 18 Peter Kimlin, 19 Ita Vaea, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Robbie Coleman, 22 Tevita Kuridrani.
Waratahs – 15 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14 Atieli Pakalani, 13 Tom Kingston, 12 Tom Carter, 11 Peter Betham, 10 Berrick Barnes, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Jono Jenkins, 6 Dave Dennis, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson (c).
Subs: 16 John Ulugia, 17 Jeremy Tilse, 18 Dean Mumm, 19 Lopeti Timani, 20 Rocky Elsom, 21 Sarel Pretorius, 22 Daniel Halangahu.
SHARKS vs HIGHLANDERS, DURBAN, SAT 17:05
VREDE'S CALL: The Sharks have been decidedly ordinary this season but surely – with the return of Beast Mtawarira and Ryan Kankowski, and against a Highlanders side who should have been put away comfortably last week – they will register the win they so desperately need? I pose this as a question because there is no certainty about anything with this Sharks side. They have yet to craft a polished performance – one marked by synergy, fluidity, power and precision. However, they'll settle for an ugly win given their desperation to stay in the mix in the South African conference. That desperation must be reflected in the gainline contest and if they stifle the Highlanders' attack and aid their own in this manner they will have a good base for victory. The return of Mtawarira will help them in this regard but they need their locks, in particular, to front in order for their forward challenge to be an adequate one. The inclusion of Paul Jordaan at outside centre, with JP Pietersen shifting back to the wing and Louis Ludik to fullback gives the backline a more formidable look. If they can be serviced consistently well they will unhinge a fragile Landers defence in the manner the Cheetahs did last week. Sharks by 10
JC'S CALL: John Plumtree has shown his hand by including five forwards on the bench: the Sharks will be aiming for a more consistent and complete effort up front. They need to play in the right areas of the field this Saturday, and a rabid forward effort will also be needed to guarantee ball security. Desperation will fuel their intensity, as they cannot afford to drop another game at home. As brilliant as the Highlanders were in their comeback win against the Cheetahs, their overall effort has flagged in recent rounds. It will be another forward-oriented scrap, but the Sharks will emerge with an important victory. Sharks by 10
Sharks – 15 Louis Ludik, 14 JP Pietersen, 13 Paul Jordaan, 12 Tim Whitehead, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Keegan Daniel (c), 7 Marcell Coetzee, 6 Jacques Botes, 5 Anton Bresler, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Jannie du Plessis / Wiehahn Herbst, 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira,
Subs: 16 Craig Burden, 17 Wiehahn Herbst / Jannie du Plessis, 18 Pieter-Steph du Toit, 19 Jean Deysel, 20 Ryan Kankowski, 21 Frederic Michalak, 22 Meyer Bosman
Highlanders – 15 Ben Smith, 14 Siale Piutau, 13 Tamati Ellison, 12 Shaun Treeby, 11 Hosea Gear, 10 Mike Delany, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Nasi Manu, 7 Doug Tietjens, 6 Adam Thomson, 5 Jarrad Hoeata, 4 Josh Bekhuis, 3 Chris King, 2 Andrew Hore, 1 Jamie Mackintosh (c).
Subs: 16 Jason Rutledge, 17 Ma'afu Fia/Jacob Ellison, 18 Culum Retallick, 19 Elliot Dixon, 20 Jimmy Cowan, 21 Chris Noakes, 22 Kurt Baker.
CHEETAHS vs FORCE, BLOEMFONTEIN, SAT 19:10
VREDE'S CALL: The Cheetahs' capitulation last week won't have lasting psychological effects and they'll have enough quality to down the Force. Their attack has never been a problem against teams of this calibre, but defensively they have to shore up to ensure that they address the fundamental flaws that marked their defeat to the Highlanders. Part of their struggles has been Heinrich Brussow's failure to impose himself at the breakdown consistently. The Cheetahs need a vintage performance from their previously irrepressible opensider and his team-mates can aid his cause with an improved tackle fight. The Cheetahs must rise to this challenge and I think they will. Cheetahs by 7
JC'S CALL: Let's talk about psychological effects. How will the Cheetahs respond to losing a playmaker and goal-kicker of the calibre of Johan Goosen? How will Sias Ebersohn respond after missing a kick in front of goal that effectively lost the Cheetahs the game against the Highlanders? Naka Drotske would have torn into his charges during the week, and no doubt defence would have been a talking point. The Force aren't the most dangerous attacking side, but they have some individuals in their pack who have the means to generate turnovers. Brüssow will be itching for a crack at his old mate David Pocock, but he will need his fellow forwards to help. If the Cheetahs can subdue the Force pack, they will win comfortably. I feel they may struggle to maintain their effort as the did last week, and this will ensure the Force stays in touch. Cheetahs by 5
Cheetahs – 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Cameron Jacobs, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Andries Strauss, 11 Willie le Roux, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Tewis de Bruyn, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Justin Downey, 6 Heinrich Brussow, 5 Izak van der Westhuizen, 4 George Earle, 3 WP Nel, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Coenie Oosthuizen
Subs: 16 Hercu Liebenberg, 17 Trevor Nyakane, 18 Andries Ferreira, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Piet van Zyl, 21 Riaan Smit, 22 Philip Snyman
Force – 15 Alfie Mafi, 14 Sam Wara, 13 Nick Cummins, 12 Winston Stanley, 11 Napolioni Nalaga, 10 10 David Harvey, 9 Brett Sheehan, 8 Matt Hodgson, 7 David Pocock (c), 6 Richard Brown, 5 Nathan Sharpe, 4 Toby Lynn, 3 Salesi Ma'afu, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Pek Cowan.
Subs: 16 Elvis Taione, 17 Salesi Manu, 18 Phoenix Battye, 19 Lachlan McCaffrey, 20 Josh Holmes, 21 Ben Seymour, 22 Rory Sidey.
CRUSADERS vs REDS, CHRISTCHURCH, SUN 06:00
VREDE'S CALL: The Reds are slowly getting back the squad that won them the tournament last year after a horror run with injuries and they will be tough opponents for the Crusaders. However, the hosts are white-hot at present and will be too good across all facets of play to be put under pressure from the defending champions. Their kicking game has been excellent, driving them into positions where they can pressure their opponents into errors through a committed chase and unforgiving and accurate defence. From there they have either built their lead through the boot of the impressive Tom Taylor or struck from set phase or turnover ball with routine efficiency. The Reds don't have the pack to trouble the Saders and will be made to live off scrappy ball in general play. Their desperation will increase, leading to risky attacks from deep in their territory. At this point the Saders will simply tighten their grip and register another comprehensive victory. Crusaders by 12
JC'S CALL: It was at this point last year where I was growing rather bored with Super Rugby when BOOM! a Reds vs Crusaders spectacular restored my faith in the regional showpiece. Unfortunately for those hoping for a similar Super Rugby pick-me-up, the sides are not as evenly matched as they were in 2011. The Reds have started to improve and will be boosted by the return of a couple of Wallabies, but playing against the form team of the competition, they are lacking the tactical and attacking means to prevail. Quade Cooper played such a crucial role in both the Reds' wins over the Crusaders last year, and without him the Reds have looked incomplete. The forwards will test their Crusaders counterparts at the breakdown, but ultimately the Cantabrians will be too strong. Crusaders by 8
Crusaders – 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Sean Maitland/Adam Whitelock, 13 Robbie Fruen, 12 Dan Carter, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Tom Taylor, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Tom Donnelly, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Ben Franks.
Subs: 16 Ben Funnell, 17 Wyatt Crockett, 18 Samuel Whitelock, 19 Richie McCaw, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Ryan Crotty, 22 Tom Marshall.
Reds – 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Anthony Faingaa, 12 Mike Harris, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Ben Lucas, 9 Will Genia, 8 Scott Higginbotham, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Jake Schatz, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson, 1 Greg Holmes.
Subs: 16 Saia Faingaa, 17 Albert Anae, 18 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 19 Radike Samo, 20 Eddie Quirk, 21 Nick Frisby, 22 Rod Davies.

The Columbus Dispatch -- By Dan Gearino
Natural-gas deregulation took a leap forward yesterday, with the approval of plans that set the terms to eliminate regulated pricing. With no dissent and no discussion, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said that Columbia Gas of Ohio can eliminate regulated pricing for households, if certain conditions are met. The panel also approved a similar plan for Dominion East Ohio Gas. Supporters say the actions will lead to greater competition and lower prices. Opponents say the opposite is likely, because a few dominant suppliers no longer will have to compete with the regulated price. This is a significant step in a process Ohio began in the 1990s when it began to allow households to buy gas from companies other than the utility.

Catawba Sweeps Softball in Home Opener 3-1 and 8-0
February 16, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Catawba swept host Pfeiffer in softball action on Wednesday afternoon at Ingram Field. The Catawba Indians won by the scores of 3-1 and 8-0 to improve to 5-1. The Falcons fall to 0-4.
Carly Sabats (Warren, OH) two-out single in the sixth lifted the Lady Indians in the opener. Amanda Terry (Cordova, NC) had doubled with two outs and moved to third on a wild pitch. Tara Gibbs (Waynesville, NC) added an insurance run as she homered to lead off the seventh.
Catawba struck first getting a run in the second inning with the aid of a pair of Pfeiffer errors. Casey Baucom (Marshville, NC) scored the run when a ground ball by Alli Justice (Bishopville, MD) with two outs was misplayed. The Lady Indians had chances to build a bigger advantage, but left eight runners on in the first three frames.
Pfeiffer pulled even in the fourth with back-to-back doubles. Celia Dew (Sanford, NC) led off with a two-bagger and Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL) drove her home. Catawba stranded another runner in the fifth after Kayla Myers (Bryson City, NC) tripled with one out. The Falcons loaded the bases in their fifth with one out, but failed to score.
Brittany Murray (Asheboro, NC) scattered four hits to improve to 3-0 for Catawba. She walked four and struck out three. Gibbs and Myers each had two hits. Allison Braswell took the loss for Pfeiffer, tossing the complete game.
Justice put the Lady Indians out front in game two with a solo homer with two outs in the first. Justice helped Catawba expand the lead with a two-run double in a four-run third. Gibbs added a RBI single and Erin Witalison (Gold Hill, NC) had a sacrifice fly to make the score 5-0.
Gibbs connected on a home run to start the Catawba fifth to stretch the advantage to 7-0. Freshman Emily Huneycutt (Locust, NC) tossed the one-hit shutout in game two. She went five innings, allowing no walks with four strikeouts.
Gibbs picked up three hits in the nightcap, while Justice had two. Catawba banged out 10 hits in each win. Hannah Jackson (Greensboro, NC) had the lone Falcon hit in game two.

The last thing consumers want to hear about these days is refinery or pipeline problems like those that have plagued California motorists in recent weeks...That's why speed is so important in resolving problems early so they don't become larger problems later. That's what Colonial Pipeline, based in Alpharetta, GA, managed last week. Colonial operates the largest network of pipelines (more than 5,500 miles of pipeline) from Gulf Coast refiners to East Coast markets delivering an average of 100 million gallons a day to in shipping terminals in 13 states.Last Thursday two pipelines (#19 and 20) that move product from Atlanta to Nashville were shut down. Colonial Pipeline spokesman Steve Baker said one of the lines leaked...

Looking forward to continuing my progress with a new stack. I done my last cjc-dac inject on Tues so gonna wait a little before starting my LR3. When I do I will start at 100mcg but move up to 200mcg eod. That will be in the form of micro injs (10mcg) in specific body parts. I am thinking mainly my calves and chest. I will dose it pre workout and train the muscles I inject.
The clen I started a few days ago and it is potent. I took more than I initially thought as our droppers are 1.5ml. So I took about 50mcg and was shaking all day long. I am gonna keep the dose low so probably won't go above 60mcg per day. I will use it approx. 2 weeks on 2 weeks off but will listen to my body so will adjust accordingly.
I have been using 0.5mg letro pre bed for over a week and it has had a big impact on my physique. I look much leaner since starting it. It has dried me out fast and as a result I look more vascular and harder. It tastes like utter crap but the results are worth it.
I will also be using some cjc no dac with hexarelin and will start that 2moro. I will be using 100mcg cjc no dac and 66mcg hexarelin.

We all remember the first time squeezing a trigger, usually consisting of simply plinking a few tin cans. For some of us, those first shots were from an original Browning T-Bolt, one of the most accurate, handy and easy to shoot rimfires ever produced. Those days can now be relived with todays T-Bolt, a rifle every bit the equal of the original, with several exciting new features that put this unique rifle in a class by itself. These modern versions rely on the classic straight pull bolt action design to chamber each cartridge fed from a 10 round rotary box Double Helix magazine. The T-Bolts three-lever trigger offers a light, crisp break, and every barrel is free floating. For 2007, those of you who are serious about rimfire accuracy will appreciate the new T-Bolt Target/Varmint model. It features a walnut stock with raised Monte Carlo comb and a heavy varmint barrel designed to provide pinpoint accuracy that rivals many custom rimfires costing much more.

"Very sweet and simple - perfect for a baby girl! I got the one with scalloped edges (as pictured) which gives it a little more interest. Baby picture with just a white background and a little hint of pink worked perfect! Also -- the paper is just thick enough so that you can write with a fine-tip sharpee or roller ball pen on it without it bleeding through, in case you want to write a note on the back (I left mine blank to do so)."
"I cannot even tell you how many complimens we received on this birth announcement! It was so wonderful to get that feedback. They are even nicer in person. I would describe them as pretty, elegant and delicate. We did almost identical to the stock photo (grey back drop with white trim and our photo was 'naked' baby with white flower headband that somewhat matched the trim on the cards). Oh- and I ordered at 10 pm on a Wednesday and they were at my door step Friday afternoon! Just wonderful and am so, so pleased with our order and Tiny prints!"
"The card was a high quality paper and turned out better then we imagined. Perfect way to share the announcement of our new daughter with friends and family."
"My husband and I waited until our daughter was about 3 months old before taking professional photos and sending an announcement. After reviewing multiple options, we decided that this design was perfect to showcase her look. We styled her in a "little black dress" complete with pearls and photographed her against a pink blanket. I loved that the gray background of this card complimented her outfit and the pink made her first and middle name pop. We have received so many compliments on this announcement. And I look forward to saving it in her memory book."
"I needed the announcements for my first little girl to be perfection and they were. I ordered the sample first so I knew ahead of time how pretty they were in person. My only regret is not splurging on the type of paper. The pearl shimmer would have made them even more beautiful."

Who: Tim Dilday
Agency: Kinston Department of Public Safety
Rank: Commander
Joined: 1995
Education: New Bern High School, 1990; ECU, 1994
Family: Wife, three children
In his line of work, you have to be able to handle most things.
Cmdr. Tim Dilday oversees one of the Kinston Department of Public Safety's four patrol division shifts. He said he and the officers under his command are the first to respond to calls and, as such, need to be ready for anything.
"We work 12-hour shifts. So 25 percent of the time, any given time, my shift would be working," Dilday said. "During my tour of duty, I'm responsible for all law enforcement actions, basically, that occur. We respond to calls for service. From armed robberies, violent assaults, to 'I lost my wallet,' 'my child won't listen,' 'I'm having a problem with my neighbor.' "
Dilday spent the majority of his childhood in New Bern, and graduated from New Bern High School in 1990. Seeking a career in law enforcement, he studied criminal justice at East Carolina University, and after graduating moved in with family in Kinston to undergo an intensive internship with the local police force.
When he was younger, Dilday said, he thought of maybe continuing his career elsewhere. But the longer he served in Kinston, the more he wanted to stay. And though he's worked in other divisions as an officer, being on the front line of law enforcement presents its own unique challenges.
"A lot of the people we deal with, we deal with regularly, because they don't have the coping skills, or ability to handle their own faults, so they rely on us to guide them through life," Dilday said. "And, that's fine. Because, who else is going to do it?"
Like many aspects of life, how someone reacts to law enforcement can be shaped when people are children. Approaching children after an incident, whether it's a kid playing with dialing 911, or something more serious, takes its own amount of sensitivity.
"And when you deal with children, it's hard sometimes," Dilday said. "Because, you can tell the environment that they've come from as far as interaction with law enforcement. A lot of kids, when they see you, they want to talk to you. A lot of kids when they see you, they shy away."
He added, "If you get in a wreck, and you're incapacitated, and your child's with you, and the only thing they've heard about a police officer or a law enforcement officer is, 'He'll get you if you don't wear your seatbelt.' Or, 'He'll arrest you,' or 'He'll put you in jail,' how scared is your child going to be? We're there to help in all manner."
One of the keys to being a patrol officer, Dilday said, is to be able to find a level of understanding with people of many different backgrounds and experiences.
"You have to have a lot of empathy," Dilday said. "You have to be able to deal with people from all walks of life. Regardless of where you come from, beginning this job, you see a lot of things that open your eyes. And I see a lot of things and deal with a lot of people most people don't understand, or see a lot of facets of life that most people don't get to see."
