By Steve Graham, Networx
Even a simple roof repair can seem needlessly expensive. With no moving parts or complex circuits, roof shingles seem like they should be simple and inexpensive to fix and even replace. While much of the work may be fairly straightforward, it still takes expertise and quality materials to finish a sturdy, safe and reliable roof. Materials, labor and insurance costs are the factors that drive roof repair prices through the roof.
Materials are Expensive
The price of asphalt shingles rose 58 percent from 2008 to 2009, and prices have continued increasing. This is partly due to the rising price of oil, though shingle prices are less likely to drop when the price of oil drops. The price of asphalt shingles is also affected by increasing demand for highway asphalt, thanks to all the stimulus-related road construction projects.
Asphalt shingles are by far the most common roofing material, but other materials also are getting more expensive. Lumber prices are on the rise, and plenty of quality wood is needed for rafters, trusses and other structural supports. Sheets of high-quality oriented strand board also are needed for the deck or sheathing.
Even the most basic materials add to the cost. Cheap staples don't cut it on a quality roof job. Galvanized steel roofing nails cost more, but must be used.
Even disposal of materials is expensive if your contractor needs to haul away your old, heavy shingles.
However, you can save on roofing materials with a $1,500 tax credit for certain qualified roofing materials. Also keep in mind that a more expensive but longer-lasting roofing material will save money in the long run.
Good Labor is Expensive
Of course, the best materials are only as good as their installation. A 40-year shingle could warp or leak after just months if improperly fastened.
Good roofing work is very precise. Insufficient overhang at the edge of the roof, for example, can lead to water damage. Too much overhang, however, can leave shingles weak and susceptible to damage.
Every job requires good workmanship, but some have less dire consequences. A sloppy paint job, for example, is just aesthetically unpleasing. A sloppy roofing job could lead to expensive leaks, poor ventilation, mold and even a hazardous collapse.
The best way to research a company's workmanship is by checking references and even inspecting previous jobs, if possible.
Insurance is Vital

I-Core Finance Professor Dan Greiner likens himself to a coach: he's intense at times and has high expectations-but he's also quick with encouraging words. After eight years of teaching at Kelley, he knows how important encouragement can be to push students to do their best. "Our curriculum is very structured and this helps students to reach higher levels of learning. It is a demanding program and students know this well before they reach I-Core. But they love the challenge. They know they're going to be pushed in a program that's ambitious and they're determined to do it. "I like to say that I-Core is the capstone to our prerequisites. It pulls together so many applied subjects-finance, marketing, operations, and strategy- that rely on skills in accounting, technology, communications, math, and economics. Students walk away from I-Core saying, 'Wow! Now I can see where those prereqs fit!' "I-Core is also a personal challenge. It emotionally pushes students. I try to convey the feeling that I care for them and that I know they can learn the concepts-a sense of 'we're going to get you through this.' Our students walk away from I-Core feeling that the world has thrown them a challenge but that they handled it. It's a great feeling of personal success."

As many as 29 percent of state university students and 43 percent of community college students require some amount of remedial education upon enrolling in college, according to the results of a study by the group Strong American Schools. The report, entitled "Diploma to Nowhere" was released Monday, and addresses the financial costs of remedial education (as high as $2000-2500 per student), as well as the psychological impact on students.
The study stresses the necessity of appropriate college preparation for students, which includes taking challenging courses and learning study skills in high school. The results clearly indicate that good grades and the basic college preparatory high school curriculum are not always an indicator that students are ready to tackle the challenges of attending college. As many as four out of five students in remedial courses maintained a high school GPA of 3.0 or higher, showing that even those who did well in high school weren't prepared for the kind of work students should expect in college.
While the report encourages educational reform and high school curricula that more closely match college standards, change can be slow in coming. High school students beginning the college search should be aware of the possibility of struggling in school or even having their stay in college prolonged by extra course requirements. The earlier you start the college planning process, the better, so start pushing yourself as early as your freshman year. Enroll in the most challenging courses possible, such as Advanced Placement or dual-credit classes, especially in areas like English and math, and avoid just coasting through your last year or two of high school.
More challenging coursework can lead to a lower GPA, but your impressive resume, your reputation as a hard worker, and your improved reading, writing, math, and study skills will likely make up for any difference in the long run. Being more adept at math, science, and writing can also increase your chances of winning scholarships, as your skills outshine those of your competitors who took the easy way out.

Let's be honest. Sometimes, the contest rules for scholarship opportunities can just be too limiting. Lengthy forms, essay prompts, and word counts can all suck the joy right out of scholarship applications. While specific requirements can be nice for some, others just need a little more flexibility to express themselves fully. For those free-spirited students, we have this week's Scholarship of the Week, the Frame My Future Scholarship Contest.
The Frame My Future Scholarship Contest, sponsored by Church Hill Classics and diplomaframe.com asks students to share their plans for their future after graduation, composing an original piece that shows, "how I frame my future." The only requirement for the entry is that it fit on an 8.5 x 11" piece of paper. Otherwise, the format is completely up to you. Submit a drawing, an essay, a photograph, a collage, or anything else you can think of, either online or by mail. The top 24 entries will be posted on Framemyfuture.com, where the public will be able to vote for their favorite, and the five most popular will be awarded $1,000 college scholarships.
Prize: Five winners will each receive a $1,000 scholarship award.
Eligibility: The contest is open to U.S. high school seniors and college students who will be working toward a degree in the 2009-2010 academic year.
Deadline: March 31, 2009.
Required Materials: An entry form, available on the contest website, and an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper with your original creation on it. Submissions are accepted online or via mail.
Further details about the application process can be found by conducting a free college scholarship search on Scholarships.com. Once the search is completed, students eligible for this scholarship award will find it in their search results.

Seven student loan lending agencies agreed to a settlement with New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo Tuesday, following an investigation by Cuomo's office into potentially deceptive lending practices. This is the latest group of lenders to settle in an inquiry that's been going on for nearly a year, after accusations first came to public attention last October.
The seven lenders were Nelnet Inc., Campus Door Inc., GMAC Bank, NextStudent Inc., Xanthus Financial Services Inc., EduCap Inc. and Graduate Loan Associates LLC. The lenders agreed to abide by a code of conduct drafted by Cuomo's office, and also jointly donated $1.4 million to a fund established to educate students about financial aid processes.
A number of lenders were being investigated for deceptive marketing practices that included sending out mailings that looked like they came from the federal government or a student's current lender, offering gifts such as iPods or gift cards to entice students to sign up for their loan, and advertising loan rates for which the majority of borrowers would not qualify. Lenders agreed to cease deceptive lending practices and to include a disclaimer in all loan offers that will encourage students to exhaust all other options for federal student financial aid before borrowing a private loan.

Despite the student loan credit crunch that has been repeatedly making headlines this year, students and parents in several New England states had little to no trouble finding money for college this fall, according to a survey conducted by the New England Board of Higher Education.
The survey asked financial aid administrators at 214 colleges and universities to assess the level of difficulty students faced finding financial aid, as well as the effectiveness of the Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act passed by Congress earlier this year to ensure continued availability of Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) funds.
The survey found an increase in students borrowing unsubsidized Stafford Loans, as well as no major concerns over the availabilty of those funds through FFELP lenders. It also showed that more families have borrowed Federal PLUS Loans this year, possibly due to recent changes that allow families to defer payments until after students graduate. These changes seem to have mostly made up for the decreased availability of private student loans. However, some financial aid administrators are still concerned over continued availability of student loans, and caution that families may face difficulties making tuition payments in future semesters.
Based on this information, it appears there's little reason to put your college plans on hold, but you might still want to devote an increased amount of time to finding scholarships. While it looks like students are still able to pay for school, changes in the student loan landscape may still leave some students without a plan B for covering college costs if their initial plans fall through.
Really, though, financial aid advice hasn't changed much. Now, as always, planning ahead is key. As always, a good college financing strategy involves doing the following: conduct a scholarship search, take time to complete the FAFSA, learn about and take advantage of all possible federal student financial aid, apply for university scholarships and campus-based aid, and only then consider applying for a private student loan.
September 9, 2008
In a hearing yesterday, Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa suggested that he would back off from his proposal of mandating that colleges and universities spend five percent of their endowments on financial aid, provided schools continue to voluntarily increase grant and scholarship awards to students as many have been doing this year.
This is the latest development in a series of events that began unfolding when Congress began looking into the endowment spending of several of the country's wealthiest universities earlier this year. Legislation to mandate increased endowment spending has since been proposed and withdrawn, as several schools with large endowments began offering significantly larger financial aid packages to their students.
The panel, which was made up of representatives of several universities and the Senate Finance Committee also discussed the rising cost of college education, what schools and lawmakers can and should do in the face of the issue, and the importance of flexibility in endowment spending. Lawmakers and educators are both concerned about the increasing burden of student loan debt on American students, but colleges are also concerned about being forced to spend more than they can afford to assist students with their tuition payments.
Primary among their concerns, though, was an increase in transparency of university endowments and spending habits. Colleges were more willing to agree to making information about their endowments and spending available to the public, as opposed to accepting a mandate for how much they are required to spend on student financial aid each year. Grassley also introduced a plan to make colleges fill out a Form 990, the tax form all nonprofits file, using a version of the form similar to the one designed for hospitals.
While the Senate Finance Committee has moved away from requiring colleges to devote a substantial portion of endowment spending to helping students pay for school, Sen. Grassley's words seem to suggest that if schools don't keep up their efforts to make attending college more affordable for their students, Congress may yet decide to intervene.
Hopefully, what this will mean for students is a continued increase in campus-based aid programs, such as scholarship opportunities and grants and fellowships. At the very least, it looks like it may be getting even easier to compare information about spending habits of various schools in your college search, being able to ultimately arrive at a better determination of which schools are most likely to want to help you afford to attend.

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is preparing a lawsuit against Goal Financial, the student loan company that also runs the website eStudentLoan.com. According to the New York Times, Goal Financial stands accused of misleading consumers about loans, and offering them gifts such as iPods to influence their choice in lenders. While other lenders accused of dishonest practices have repented and agreed to follow a code of conduct outlined by Cuomo, Goal Financial has not, hence the pending lawsuit.
Goal is accused of misrepresenting loan terms to promote private loans over low-interest federal Stafford loans, as well as failing to disclose their ownership of eStudentLoan on the latter's website. The company also allegedly failed to disclose that all lenders listed on the eStudentLoan loan rate comparison feature were companies that had paid a commission to Goal Financial.
While Cuomo's investigation of the student lending industry has undoubtedly made borrowing less risky, students should still proceed with caution and carefully vet the quality of the lender they choose to use. If you need to take out student loans to help fund your education, be sure to do your research. First and foremost, explore all federal student financial aid opportunities. Start by completing the FAFSA on the Web and visiting with your school's financial aid office. It would also be beneficial to conduct an extensive scholarship search at this point, as well, since you never know where you might find money for college.
If you do find you need to borrow a private loan, research several lenders, and if your college's financial aid office maintains a preferred lender list (which should consist of lenders that are actually preferable thanks to Cuomo's earlier investigations) take a copy. Begin evaluating your options, but be wary of anything that sounds gimmicky or too good to be true. Carefully research any loan before you apply.
Find out which banks have the best rates and repayment options, and whether you'll need a cosigner to get approved. Apply to one loan at a time and give yourself plenty of time for processing, since many student loans need to be approved by the bank and certified by your college before funds can be disbursed. Many lenders will let you know within a day or two whether your has been pre-approved or rejected so that you can move on to the next application if necessary.

For many students, the college experience can be a financial minefield. Even if they manage to avoid the lure of blowing their financial aid check on a plasma TV or a brand new car, there are thousands of other potential pitfalls. These include the credit card companies lining the main drag of campus offering free college t-shirts to anyone who signs up for their card; your first dorm or apartment to outfit and decorate; and then all of the opportunities for shopping, dining, and entertainment that a college town provides. And we haven't even gotten to the actual act of paying tuition yet! Even if your scholarship search was fruitful and you were able to find money for college, there's still the chance of overspending and winding up turning to less wise solutions to make it to the end of the term.
So how are students supposed to survive college without unnecessary credit card or student loan debt? Many schools are offering money management courses and one-on-one financial counseling services to help students be more judicious with their college funds. I can certainly think of some lessons I could've used as an undergrad, like "3 AM is not dinner time," its corollary, "espresso is not an adequate substitute for sleep," and of course, "you don't have to buy it just because it's on sale." Being forced to budget out just how much that 10-block drive to class (plus the 15 minutes of circling the "good" parking lot for a spot) actually cost me that last year of school would've also been helpful.
Now students at numerous colleges in several states can choose to educate themselves and avoid learning similar life lessons the hard way. Unfortunately, many of these programs go under-publicized and under-utilized, as budgeting honestly isn't fun, and many students may be afraid that setting a budget means giving up their college lifestyle, staying at home, and having to go on a budget diet. However, the Chronicle of Higher Education suggests that students can benefit immensely from financial literacy courses, and anecdotal evidence suggests these students take on less debt and have an easier time transitioning into the "real world" after graduation. Courses are often offered to incoming freshmen or graduating seniors, with counseling services typically being made available to any students currently attending college. If you're interested in finding out about how to stretch your college fund, student loans, or scholarship money further, check with your college to see if they offer any of these services.

Don't forget about spending money when planning for college costs. This advice comes from Alabama's Birmingham News, which spoke with some students, parents, and financial aid administrators in the state about dealing with expenses that fall outside of paying tuition and room and board. However, Alabama students and families are by no means the only ones not sure how to deal with how much living at college will cost.
Financial aid offices typically figure a few thousand dollars into a student's cost of attendance estimate to cover such expenses as gas, car maintenance, toiletries, clothes, entertainment, and food and drinks not from the dining center, but actual experiences vary widely among students. Some college students certainly choose the spartan lifestyle of staying in the dorm, using their meal plan, and biking around campus to attend free school-sponsored activities. Others fail to resist the urge to splurge, doing their studying at the all night diner just a short drive from campus or swinging by the mall for some retail therapy and a movie after a particularly grueling week of class. I was certainly in the latter category, despite my best intentions of being thrifty and only spending what I earned working at my work-study job (work-study, for those unfamiliar, is a campus-based aid program that is more easily used to cover living expenses than tuition).
But don't assume the worst and rush out to borrow an extra $10,000 to cover unforseen expenses. Instead, practice some basic money management. Take an honest look at your spending habits and how much you'll realistically want to scale them back to save money. Then look at how much you can earn while in school without getting off-track for graduation, and start figuring out how to make up any differences between the two. A summer job or an extra scholarship award or two could give you enough money to survive the next 9 months without having to resort to student loans to fix your car, get you home for Christmas, or feed you until you land a new job. As a recent grad who looked to borrowing as the easy way out of tight financial situations, believe me, those little loan amounts add up.

Help Students Feed America's Hungry
Roll over image to zoom in
According to the Census, 48 million people in the U.S. are food insecure. That's one in seven Americans who don't know where their next meal is coming from. Meanwhile, the EPA estimates that America wastes 68 billion pounds of food each year; enough to fill the up Rose Bowl every day.
The University of Maryland, College Park used to send all of its leftovers from student dining halls and from stadiums after games to landfills and composting facilities. Everyone, from the director to the dishwashers, hated to see good food go to waste, but there was no way to get it to those in need without taking on new labor and transportation costs.
So, a group of students took up the initiative. Since 2011, Food Recovery Network, a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has started chapters at over 90 colleges and universities and donated more than 420,000 pounds of food. These students have volunteered time and transportation costs to deliver more than 335,000 meals to community hunger-fighting agencies since the program started. The only operating cost left? Trays.
Your compassionate donation can help! Each tray for safe, clean, and effective food transportation costs $1.50, and holds 15 meals. That means just $10 provides a nutritious meal for 100 Americans in need.
The Food Recovery Network unites students at colleges and universities to fight hunger and food waste by recovering surplus perishable food from campuses and communities and donating it to people in need.
Free Standard Shipping in the U.S. on your entire cart when you donate $15.00 or more in our Gift That Gives More™ program. See Current Promotions for details.
Why a Gift That Gives More™ is a smart, effective donation.
100% of your donation will go to the program described above as a grant through GreaterGood.org. GreaterGood stores do not receive any profit from donations through this Gift That Gives More™; we bring it to you in the spirit of the greater good. We even pay the credit card transaction fee, so every cent of your donation goes to charity.
Please note: A free downloadable certificate is available to print for easy gift giving for any non-disaster related Gift That Gives More™. The "gift message" field during check-out does not apply to your Gift That Gives More™ certificate.
Your donation is 100% tax-deductible in the U.S.A.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My brother is about to undergo a bone marrow transplant and he has a 5 year old daughter in kindergarten. We are considering pulling her out of kindergarten when he comes home for fear of her being sick and bringing it into the house with him. What is regularly advised as a precaution here? How can we best protect him? Would having her be at home but not interacting in school make a difference in the risks he takes?
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
We don't usually recommend taking children out of school or out of their environment. They should have a separate bathroom available for the patient and his daughter should be taught about careful hand washing. They can also have her set aside "home" clothes that she can change into when she gets home before she spends time with him. If she wants to play with friends after school, she can either go to their homes, or they can potentially designate a separate room in the house that is off-limits to the patient. And again she can change when she comes out of that room. Most important is strict hand washing. The daughter who is not sick should be allowed to live as normal a life as possible while taking appropriate precautions.
Feb 2, 2010 - In leukemia patients, long-term survival rates are similar in those who were transplanted with either peripheral blood stem cells or bone marrow, according to a study published online Feb. 1 in The Lancet Oncology.

At the end of his second year, the school's principal, Chris Meadows tops it off as the county's Principal of the Year.
Principals across the county voted on April 11 and the winner was recently announced.
But in a very Meadows-like fashion, the new Principal of the Year credited his students and staff.
"This is not a Chris Meadows award," he said. "At the end of the day, accolades are always nice, but for me, more than anything, this is a Jones Senior award. This is just a testament to what our students (and) teachers do on a day-to-day basis."
In 2006, the state was set to intervene at Jones Senior, as it was designated a "priority school" based on low end-of-course composite scores. Former principal Pascal Mubenga turned the school around during his four-year stint, which Meadows is now elevating.
Jones Senior is currently recognized as a school of distinction with up to 90 percent of students performing at grade level. Meadows hopes his award will show the students how unyielding effort goes rewarded.
"(The students) know that all the work they're doing (and) all the work I'm doing is paying off," Meadows said. "People everywhere else are recognizing that we're doing great things here at Jones Senior. It just makes me want to continue to do great things and keep pushing myself to do better."
Meadows began as a heath educator and physical education teacher — both in
"I feel like everybody is called to certain positions, and this is what I have a passion for," Meadows said. "Our job is not one where you get a lot of accolades. You have to have a passion for education."
He was up for consideration against the county's five other principals. Meadows said he respects his colleagues and felt honored they thought so highly of him.
"I'm so proud of him," said Jeannie Smith, principal of
Smith is in her first year at Comfort. She said the award shows Meadows' evident role in the success of the Jones Senior.
Today, Meadows said the school will be presented a state sportsmanship award in
Tremaine Young, Jones Senior assistant principal and the person who works the closest with Meadows, said his boss goes "beyond the call of duty" to get everyone in sync.
"The students and staff members know he cares," Young said. "(The award) is a blessing and an honor, being that he is from this community. It sends out a good message."
Young said the pair has the same interest, likes and dislikes.
Senior Miguel Foy said Meadows has been like a big brother to him.
"He always persuades you to do better," Foy said. "He picks me up when I'm down. He's a person I can come and talk to about anything."
Foy, a four-year starter on the Trojans' basketball team, plans to attend
"I think he's a really good principal," she said of Meadows. "I really like being in this school. We have a lot of opportunities and Mr. Meadows has provided a lot of opportunities for us."
Baugus hopes to open her own daycare center in the future, which, surely, Meadows will provide continued support as a principal vested in individual student interests.
Meadows, a father of two, said he sees each student as his own and said the award will push his endeavors to the next level.
"I don't think there is a limit (to the success of Jones Senior)," Meadows said. "I think we can continue to be one of the best schools in the state of

RYAN VREDE watch the Lions slump to yet another defeat, going down 34-20 against the Reds in Brisbane.
The week has been testing for the Lions and it ended in the worst possible fashion. A meeting between the domestic unions failed to resolve the issue of the how a sixth franchise will be accommodated in 2013, the Cheetahs indicated that they are not open to a merger and the details emerged of a R1.5 million debt to the Pumas and Leopards that, if left unsettled, will result in automatic relegation from Super Rugby.
Some say the Lions are playing for pride. That couldn't be further from the truth. They're playing for their Super Rugby future. And for 20 minutes they played with the desperation, intensity and intelligence that was befitting for men in their position.
Keeping the ball close they found some purchase in punching up around the fringes or when they set up pods of forwards and played through phases. They denied the Reds possession and made them look ordinary and beatable in the process, opening a 6-0 lead through the boot of Elton Janjties.
But the optimism that period elicited was relatively short-lived, the Reds completely dominating possession and territory in a devastating 50 minute spell thereafter. They scored through Liam Gill after depleting the Lions' defensive line through a multi-phase attack. Mike Harris converted and added two penalties for a comfortable lead. They should have been further ahead at half-time (13-6), Harris spilling a ball with the line at his mercy and the ball being held up in the goal area just before the break.
The Reds replaced Quade Cooper – who had a relatively quiet return to action – at the break, but their primary threat was up front, with their powerful, patient and organised phase play. The Lions lost Franco van der Merwe for cynically halting one such rumble two minutes into the second half and the Reds capitalised immediately, Saia Faingaa powering over from close range and Harris banking the extras.
Five minutes later former schoolboy sensation Chris F'sautia started and finished a move that had the Lions chasing shadows, and when Jantjies and Jaco Taute conspired to butcher the simplest of tries by getting in each other's way the writing was on the wall.
Under pressure the Lions reverted to the ugly and inefficient expansive approach that had accounted for their lowly log position. The Reds relish such brainless tactics and duly punished them after a runner was isolated, with the ball shifted wide to Will Genia who exploited an unset defensive line and sprinted 50m to score.
The Reds made a string of changes that affected their synergy, and, as they had in previous matches, the Lions profited from this, giving their long-suffering supporters an opportunity to speak of a brave effort. But they are fooling themselves. This is not a side fit for Super Rugby and unless the South African Rugby Union can convince the Cheetahs to alter their stance on a merger the Lions will watch this tournament from the comfort of their couches in 2013.

ALBANY, Ore. -- An Albany woman and her daughter will have to pay back thousands of dollars after an elaborate scheme to rip off soft drink giant Coca Cola.
Police say the duo figured out a way to manipulate a bottle cap promotion and collect more than $200,000.
It s a game many who consume soft drinks are familiar with. Beneath the cap of the soda bottle, there is a code. You go onto a website to find out if you've won anything.And in most cases, you haven't.
But according to police, an Albany woman and her daughter figured out a way to cheat and they won, time after time after time.
On Friday, 55-year-old Carrie Jones and 31-year-old Sarah Jones pleaded guilty to computer crimes.
Coca Cola investigators got suspicious in 2011 after tracking an unusually high number of winnings to a computer IP address in Albany.
Police said the suspects sold their contest prizes on eBay.
Investigators hadn't figured out how the mother-daughter duo got the winning prize codes.
I speculate that there is more than Carrie and Sarah Jones involved in this situation, said Detective Mike Wood with the Albany Police Department. I mean, it boggles the mind that they could single-handedly fool a multi-billion dollar company like Coca Cola.
Coca Cola estimates it lost nearly $200,000. Police admit it's not clear where all the money went. The suspects will have to pay back almost $50,000 in restitution.
Neither suspect has a criminal history.

Last night as I was making the long drive home, I left the radio off and thought about things for some time to clear my head. As I was thinking to myself, I found myself becoming increasingly frustrated with the current inavailability of much in the way of personal instruction via a lama, master, Dharma Center, even webcast. A combination of a geographical location, personal finances, daily/weekly obligations, etc. currently make such personal instruction nearly impossible. This impossibility caused me to despair of my ability to ever truly be able to practice any form of Tibetan Buddhism or Vajrayana/Tantra, and this inability to practice caused me to question the authenticity of both Tibetan Buddhism and Vajrayana/Tantra.
A series of thoughts occurred to me then which completely altered my negative, frustrated outlook.
Earlier in the day, I attended Mass with my girlfriend. Though she knows I have no interest in being Catholic and that I'm studying Buddhism, I explained to her that I supported her in whatever faith decisions she made and I would attend Mass with her since our time together is limited as is but that I wouldn't receive communion. For the past several months, she's not attended Mass - so I've gotten off the hook, so to speak. Yesterday was her birthday, it was also the first morning of Daylight Savings Time, so we both woke up early and she wavered on attending Mass until she decided she'd like to go. I was uneasy about going, but I decided to stand by my decision to support her. We sat next to her parents in church - who also realize that I'm no longer practicing - but knowing that they knew I was no longer practicing made me all the more uneasy since I was now in the situation to not practice. During Mass, I observed - and what I noticed was a ceremony that, in a lot of ways, made a lot of sense because it primarily appeals to the senses, it draws you in, it gets you involved on a complete psycho-physical level. Having once been an astute student of Catholicism, I knew all the movements, prayers, hymns, etc. by rote. It was hard not to get involved even though I no longer felt the conviction of Catholic dogma. The Lord's Prayer would have been meaningless on a soteriological level, but yet it such beautiful poetry. I could then understand why I decided to convert to Catholicism so many years ago: it wasn't that I was convinced of the existence of God or divinity of Christ or infallibility of the Pope; rather, I enjoyed the pomp and ceremony of the Mass. So, as I stood there not wanting to get involved, I realized that I felt this overwhelming sense of fear. Though I knew that I would rather take refuge in the truth of the Buddha, Dharma and the Sangha, it was because of this devotion that I felt afraid to let my guard down and enjoy the ceremony taking place around me. And in that moment, I "heard" the voice of Trungpa Rinpoche say, "What are you afraid of?" And his words came flooding back to me: this is dharmakaya, this is what is happening, and look at the beautiful sambhogakaya energy in this room manifesting itself as the nirmanakaya. And as I gradually let my guard down, I saw all of these beautiful people trying to make sense of the world around them through the ceremony that took part in either willingly or unwillingly. And I felt a sense of calm compassion towards them all and felt glad that I could be there with them even if I no longer shared their faith.
So, again, as I was driving and becoming frustrated, the voice of Trungpa Rinpoche came back to me: "You are the path." And it was then that I realized that the Dharma isn't something out there to attain, but it's something that I already have within. I am the path, I make the path, the path is the goal and the goal is the path. Even if I'm stuck for the rest of my life reading Trungpa Rinpoche's books, reading the life of the Buddha, and performing shamatha meditation, that's my path. It's what I have to work with.

A finger sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments that support the small joints of the finger. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A finger sprain usually results from a blow to the finger causing the finger to bend too much or in the wrong direction. This often occurs during athletic activity when an athlete jams a finger into another person, the ball, or piece of equipment. Finger sprains may also occur in other situations, such as falling on the hand..
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting an injury. Risk factors for a finger sprain may include:
Symptoms include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and how you injured your finger. The doctor will examine your finger to assess the stability of the joint and the severity of the injury.
Tests may include:
Finger sprains are graded according to their severity:
In consultation with your doctor, treatment may include:
Avoid using the injured finger.
Apply ice or a cold pack to your finger for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days or until the pain and swelling goes away. Ice helps to reduce pain and swelling in the sprained finger. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin.
Wrap an elastic compression bandage around your finger. This will limit swelling and support your finger. Be careful not to wrap too tightly because it can cut off the circulation to your finger.
Try to hold the injured hand above the level of your heart as much as possible for the first several days or until the swelling goes down. This will help drain fluid and reduce swelling.
The doctor may recommend:
You may need to wear a splint to immobilize your finger. If you play sports, you may need to tape your finger to the finger next to it when you return to play. Your doctor can show you how to splint or tape your finger.
Surgery may be needed to repair a finger sprain if:
If you are diagnosed with a finger sprain, follow your doctor's
You can reduce your risk of getting a finger sprain by learning and practicing correct technique in sports and using proper equipment. However, in many cases, sprains cannot be prevented.

New science majors who need registration instructions should call the Biological and Physical Sciences department office at 662-846-4240 or the Admissions Office at 662-846-4020.
Dr. Green attends Higher Education Resource Services Summer Institute
Dr. Ellen Green, associate professor and chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, recently graduated from the Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) Bryn Mawr Summer Institute, held July 6-19 at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. The HERS Institute for Women in Higher Education has annually offered women faculty and administrators the opportunity to participate in an intensive program preparing them as leaders in higher education.
"One of the benefits of this experience has been that I now have a network of 72 women who are influential at their institutions," said Green. "They will serve as a resource when I have questions and will alert me to future trends in higher education as they develop. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been selected to attend the HERS Summer Institute, and even though it was only two weeks, I feel like my understanding of higher education has advanced to the next level."
Dr. Reza to teach in diverse Indonesian islands
Dr. A.H.M. Ali Reza, assistant professor of biology at Delta State, was recently selected to teach a field course this summer in a pristine biogeographical island group in Indonesia. The course is coordinated through the international agency Operation Wallacea and runs for eight weeks in remote field sites.
"I will be teaching Wallacea Forest Ecology in the Wallacea region of Indonesia, which is biographically extremely important to understand the origin and evolution of animals," said Reza.
Wallacea is an essential biogeographical island group in eastern Indonesia, which includes Sulawesi Island. Reza said he truly appreciates the opportunity to study in one of the planet's most unique locations.
Reza is also exploring opportunities to build international student exchanges between Delta State and universities in his homeland of Bangladesh.
