Moonhut Bungalow ligger på den vackra stranden Maenam på norra kusten av Koh Samui. Alla tjugo bungalows är i typisk Samui stil och är byggda mellan kokospalmer och tropiska växter, med utsikt över havet. På Moonhut har du möjlighet att njuta av livet med strand, sol och bad. Här kan du även dra nytta av de vattensporter som erbjuds, om du gillar att vara lite mer aktiv, och att koppla av efter solnedgången. Alla bungalows har balkong och eget badrum med varmt och kallt vatten, värdeskåp och takfläkt eller luftkonditionering. Strand bungalows och familj bungalows är utrustade med ett kylskåp. Restaurangen har ett perfekt läge direkt på stranden och serverar läckra thailändska och västerländska rätter och naturligtvis färska skaldjur. Närmaste by är Maenam bara en kort 5 minuters promenad bort.

Accommodation and facilities:
This is written from the perspective of a mother of a 15 month old. Moonhut Bungalows is a great little place to stay in Maenam, if you are a couple who want a quiet getaway, of any age. The beach is kept beautifully and you have the restaurant/reception no more than 10m away from you. It is easy enough to get a cab to a different beach if you want more activity but the beach and sea really are lovely just here. Food in the restuarant is quick and pretty good. No childrens options and no small size dishes so its full price rather than some great places we stayed at where they accomodated for children. Breakfast is not included. The young staff that work here are wonderful. Inparticular Sun who was excellent with the baby who formed a real attachment to him. All of the staff are lovely so its such a pity that the owners are so standoffish and occasionally rude. The English owner snarls around as if the world has done him wrong, dont take it personally, he s like that with everybody! Again, as a mother I write this comment, if I were a backpacker it wouldnt faze me but the owners have huskie dogs that are not trained at all. They regularly begged in the restaurant and would come up and into your room and snarl if you tried to get them to leave. They are on face level with children. I LOVE dogs, I did not trust these dogs one bit. The beach: As I said, it is beautiful but there are no umbrellas so no shade away from the sun, again fine for sunbathing, not for kids. And in the shady area there are millions of ants, bitey ones. This review makes Moonhut sound poor. It is not. The accomodation is basic but clean and the staff are lovely. The food is fine and the location briliant. As a backpacker I would give this place a 3.5 out of 5. As a mother I would give it 2. Tip: Dont bother about the beach facing bungalows as only Bungalow one is actually beach facing. (although these are the only ones that have fridges). If you are not worried about teh Fridge ask for B2, you can see the sea from your balcony and its 500 baht cheaper! Oh, if you want internet you have to pay 900 baht for the privillage!!!!

Always excellent.

Accommodation and facilities:
Located right on the beach. Bungalow had very cold water only and a fan (all A/C rooms were booked). Small room, bed very worn out with springs poking out. Staff was not accomodating at all-didn t seem to care about guests. When checking in we asked if we can book an extra day and be out by 6:00 PM and they said they would let us know. We had a later flight out and when we inquired in the early morning they said that they gave the room to someone else. If they were smart they could of let us stay and get the rental income from us and also from a late arrival that evening. Not very good communication with the staff.

Accommodation and facilities:
My son and I spent 4 days at Moonhut and it truly felt like home. The staff is friendly and accommodating, they arranged taxis, tours and car rental for us and were organized and efficient. My son loved the swing set and there were many other children who passed through for him to play with. Our ocean bungalow was comfortable and clean, but when we switched to a garden bungalow it smelled very musty and had a leaky sink. The food was average but the restaurant was very convenient and we took almost all of our meals there. The beach had a terrific view but was nothing spectacular. It was raked often and the water was pretty clean but the area was small. We did not like the town of Maenam, there was too much traffic and no interesting shops.

Accommodation and facilities:
Bungalows situated in quiet area of beach. The beach was probably the nicest spot along that stretch. We stayed in a fan bungalow, clean, basic and absolutely fine. Staff cleaned the bungalows and changed the towels every da, a really nice touch. Reception staff very helpful and after having left some items in the hotel at Surat Thani they arranged for these to be delivered to us, with no extra charge. All done with a smile. A good place to relax for a few days. Liked it alot and would go back there.

DAYS IN LIEU Exhibit in The Upper Room Opens Today
Days in Lieu in THE UPPER ROOM exhibit will be open to the public today, 17 January - 16 February, 2013 at David Zwirner, 24 Grafton Street.
This group exhibition inaugurates THE UPPER ROOM at David Zwirner in London. THE UPPER ROOM, a second floor viewing room, will feature curated shows of works by the gallery's roster and beyond.
As Angela Choon told Artinfo, "I don't think of it as a project space...it's a program of experimental and exciting exhibitions we want to do. We want it to be distinctive but just as rigorous in its concept." Read the complete Artinfo article here.
Days in Lieu brings together diverse International Artists whose works reflect on the mundane and routine activities of everyday life, either through self-referentiality or by allusions to the idiosyncrasies of consumer culture. Evocative of days off, relaxation, and the pursuit of hobbies, the title also implicitly references labour and overtime. Works in the show allude to particular environments, lifestyles, and personal spaces, while hinting at everyday performances played out alone and dramas endured in private. Artists include Alexandra Bircken, John Divola, Isa Genzken, Roger Hiorns, Martin Kippenberger, Jason Rhoades, and Prem Sahib.
This exhibition is curated by Rodolphe von Hofmannsthal, Associate Director at David Zwirner, London.

John McBeth – Straits Times
Two years ago, a couple who thought they were renting out their West Java seaside villa for a family gathering belatedly discovered the tenant was a people smuggler, using the house as a way-station for about 50 well-heeled Afghan and Iraqi asylum seekers.
Located on a small tidal inlet near the mouth of the Sunda Strait, it was an ideal place to keep the group while arrangements were made for a fishing boat to take them on the 500 km trip across the Indian Ocean to Australia's Christmas Island.
Local police were complicit in the plan, but a dispute over money led to the house being raided – and then turned into a makeshift detention facility. Over the following week, it was trashed before the detainees were moved to a more secure place.
The incident only underlines the continuing difficulty of finding a way to stop or even slow the wave of asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Iraq, Sri Lanka and now increasingly, Iran, journeying to what they see as the promised land.
In fact, experienced refugee officials say there is no solution. More troubling, the flow may even increase, particularly when international troops finally withdraw from Afghanistan and government security forces struggle to keep the Taliban at bay.
Many of those new refugees are likely to be Hazaras, Persian-speaking Shi'ites from Afghanistan's mountainous central region who are often persecuted for their beliefs in Sunni-majority areas. An estimated 50,000 are now living in Australia.
Almost all the asylum seekers from the Middle East and South Asia fly by scheduled airlines into Malaysia, already the home of more than 100,000 illegal migrants who scrape out a living working in menial jobs. From there, they are smuggled across the Malacca Strait into Sumatra.
While thousands avoid official screening, many are subsequently registered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, with about 60 percent kept in initial detention and the rest released into community housing.
Once there, immigration, police and local officials, some in places as far away as Southeast Sulawesi, West Timor and East Kalimantan, collude with people smugglers in the lucrative business of facilitating their onward passage.
Like it or not, Australia's attraction is a well-developed primary and secondary appeal process and a strong advocacy lobby. In a great number of cases, the only real obstacle to being accepted is the lengthy time it takes to get a security clearance.
There is no international off-take, as there was with the Indochinese refugees flooding into Southeast Asia four decades ago. This year, only 600 asylum seekers have voluntarily returned to their home countries.
Even during the exodus of boat people from Vietnam, the point was reached in the early 1980s where officials were forced to acknowledge that a great majority of the so-called refugees were in fact economic migrants.
But it was hard to call them that when they were braving storms and brutal attacks by fishermen-turned-pirates to find a better life. The risks aren't much different today, except that Indonesian fishermen now crew the rickety boats carrying the quaintly called "irregular maritime arrivals."
At least 640 asylum seekers have died at sea in the past three years, including 203 who drowned when their boat sank off East Java last December. In 2000 and 2001, 703 were lost in two incidents alone.
The issue continues to roil Australian politics like no other, with more than 200 boats and 13,600 asylum seekers arriving in the two years since Prime Minister Julia Gillard vainly sought to establish an offshore processing centre on Timor Leste.
"One of the great problems is everyone is looking for a silver bullet, rather than a layered response," says New Zealander Denis Nihill, the taciturn chief of mission of the International Organization for Migration in Jakarta.
Everything has been tried. When the asylum seekers were being stashed on remote Nauru Island in 2001, the flow of new arrivals almost stopped. But such was the human cost of incarceration that the program was abandoned six years later.
Timor Leste, Fiji and Palau have all turned down proposals to host offshore detention centers and, at this point anyway, Australia has been unsuccessful in trying to work out a political deal with Malaysia and Indonesia.
Meanwhile, with 6,000 new arrivals in Australia this year and another 6,000 registered asylum seekers alone waiting in Indonesia, it is obvious the loosely connected people-smuggling pipeline is working smoothly.
The Australian authorities now even receive phone calls from would-be refugees when they leave Indonesian ports telling them that they're coming. Opposition leader Tony Abbott wants to turn them back. That will happen only if he is looking for a fight with Jakarta.
Perhaps Australia's only hope may lie with Indonesia's security agencies, which are growing increasingly agitated at the way asylum seekers have almost free rein in a country where all foreigners are supposed to report to police wherever they travel.
Efforts are being made to take the Immigration Department out of the equation, but it is unclear whether it will lead to the opening of a proper detention center – perhaps the old Galang Island refugee camp, south of Singapore, home to a shifting population of 250,000 Vietnamese boat people between 1979 and 1995.
While Australia would no doubt turn cartwheels and there would be a dramatic reduction in asylum-seeker traffic, it would leave Indonesia wearing the problem more than it does now.
That alone makes it highly unlikely.

On Wednesday, June 17 I was invited to attend a Health Care forum hosted by Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur's office in Toledo. The audience consisted of retired physicians, employed nurses, who practice home health care and hospice care, mental health professionals and social service professionals. The congresswoman, herself, was not there, but her legislative aide who works on the healthcare issue was there to lead the dialogue.
If the U.S. is going to offer a system where affordable health care is available to everyone, it will have to be a system that is going to incentivize the insured person to do all that is in their power to make the a "health care system for all" affordable.
For example, one physician said, "Patients are going to want the same type of health care that they are getting now." He went on to explain when patients walk into a doctor's office with a problem, the patient is likely to expect a whole battery of tests, because that is what they are use to getting. This may not be what is needed for their condition, but it is what they expect. That is not going lead us to affordable health care for all.
I agreed with the physician's statement,"Patients will want the same type of health care that they are getting now."
I gave the example that if a doctor tells a patient with high cholesterol and high blood pressure that he can treat the patient one way of two ways:
Option 1. He can prescribe a daily walking program and a low fat/high fiber diet, which will not cost the health system any money if the patient complies with the doctor's order
Option 2. He can prescribe a pill.
Clearly, the majority of patients are going to say "Give me the pill."
Let me illustrate how costly it can be, if a "health care system for all" does not find a way to motivate patients to do their part to keep health care costs down.
There is a drug called Caduet. It is one pill that that treats two health problems. It lowers blood pressure and it lowers cholesterol. According to Drugstore.com Caduet 2.5 – 20 mg is $165.54 for 30 pills. Over the course of a year that is $1,984.08. (That is based on the assumption that the person only needs to take 1 pill per day.)
How much additional cost will it add to the health system to treat the patient using a walking program and a diet of vegetables, grains and legumes?
Nothing for the health system. But it would cost the patient a new pair of walking shoes and a lower weekly grocery bill.

Maputo — Two men, so far unidentified, on Thursday kidnapped a 28 year old woman by mistake, because they confused her with the daughter of a trader living in the T3 neighbourhood of the southern Mozambican city of Matola.
According to a report in Saturday's issue of the Maputo daily "Noticias", the two men gained entry to the house by pretending to be workers of the electricity company, EDM. They claimed they were looking into cases of illegal connections through which electricity is stolen.
Once inside the house they grabbed the woman and rendered her unconscious with what the paper describes as "a chemical product". Presumably this would have been chloroform or a similar substance.
They then bundled the woman into their car and drove northwards towards the district of Manhica.
The other people in the house at the time were mostly children, playing in the back, and had no idea of the drama taking place at the front of the house.
The intended victim was a woman named Olivia, the daughter of a "mukherista" - an informal trader who makes her living by purchasing goods in South Africa (in this case crockery) and then reselling them in Mozambique.
When the woman regained her senses, the kidnappers realized that she was not Olivia.
They beat her, and then threatened to kill her and dump the body. They must have thought better of this threat since they eventually drove further north, and released her in the city of Xai-Xai.
From there she managed to telephone the family in T3, who in turn contacted the police.
Nonetheless, when "Noticias", later on Friday afternoon, contacted the Maputo Provincial Police Command, the information officer there, Emilio Mabunda, said he knew nothing about the case.
When the wave of kidnappings in Maputo cities began, in late 2011, the targets were wealthy business people, usually of Asian origin. As time passed, other criminals seem to have taken up kidnapping as an apparently easy way to make money, and the range of targets has spread out down the economic ladder to include informal traders who, while better off than most Mozambicans, are certainly not fabulously wealthy.

The observation deck atop the iconic theme building at Los Angles International Airport will reopen Saturday after it was briefly closed due to elevator trouble, airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said.
A Tweet sent by airport police over the weekend said the observation deck would be closed "until further notice," which worried some of my readers, who feared it would never reopen. The deck is enough of a security risk that an airport police officer sits in the lobby whenever the deck is open. That's presumably a significant expense, and some thought it might just be easier to close the deck forever.
According to the L.A. Times, the theme building was closed for almost a decade after 9/11, only opening again in 2010. During that period, the building was upgraded for seismic reasons. The Times says the building is 135 feet high — just high enough to get a good view of the terminals and airfield.
The observation deck is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. It's worth a visit if you've never been and have some time to kill. I don't know of any other airport with such a great airport-run viewing area, though presumably there are some. (George Hobica ranked some of the best observation decks recently for USA Today.)

Tiger 800xc vs 1200cx HELP!
Im looking at getting a new or newish beast, adv bike etc....I've been on my k100rs for MANY years and love her tremendously but Im 50 and the position is wearing on me on long hauls. I do the 900 miles from NOVA to P'Cola about 6 times a year and in warmer weather all in one shot.
I've been looking at and test riding the Big GS's, 12's and 8's thinking of going that way. The ergo's are good for me. My housemate is a Triumph guy. Has 4. So yesterday he convinced me to go a test ride the Tiger 8 and 12 XCs.
LETS JUST SAY WOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! For me the Ergonomic fit was PERFECT on each. (I'm 6' 170lbs. Long arms, short legs)
We were able to put a solid 45 minutes on each of the XC models.
I really liked both, But I LOVED the 800!!! WAY better than the 12... My riding needs are simple. 30 mile RT daily commute. Rain or shine, all seasons. 6-7 trips to Florida from VA annually. Add about 4000 miles of two up with my girl. I do about 30K yearly on my moto's.
No question the 12 was BEAST! Growly and strong etc....But it felt like I was in a car. I felt the same about the 1200gs as well. The 800gs is just an expensive KLR in my opinion. and I LOVE my KLR. The Tiger 8 was remarkable to me. Im slightly disappointed they didn't go shaft drive for a few more $$'s. I'd prefer that to a chain. Buuuutt........
I cant really put my finger on WHY I liked the little 8 better. Im a teacher and the money may be factoring in my subconscious, but I can afford either bike at this point.
So here's my question. Have any of you people out there in the interwebs had a similar experience with the two tigers? Any of you Lucy's able to give some splanation why I might like the 8 over the 12?

I ride 2-up with my wife cross-state loaded up and also do quite a bit of actual dirt biking. The 1200's would just be for fire roads at the most.

I came from a Bandit 1250S with enormous amounts of power and torque, and I haven't missed it at all.
With the TEX you feel loaded before you even put bags and a passenger on it. I did the Rip Van Winkle Rally at the Max's Color in the Catskills with luggage and 2-up and still passed people on the backroads easily.
I bet you liked the 800 because it was all useable and manageable in a way that just makes you comfortable. If you are going to venture off road at all, get the XC. If not, the roadie is great. Great accessories available for both.
Unless you're a big guy (which you're not) who might need the extra power and will only ride the street and easy dirt, there's only one choice.
You can get lowering links if the seat height on the low setting is still too high if you go XC.

I'm close --Had the T800 Roadie and now the Explorer Roadie and I rode each up to Pensacola several times..
First observation since you seem to be primarily going to use the bike on pavement, I would suggest you go with the road version. They have tubeless tires which are safer and can be plugged to get you home. I speak from experience, having two punctures out in the middle of nowhere in the past three years. The cast wheels are also easier to clean and maintain.
I would also recommend the tire pressure monitor system. Last trip it saved my bacon 150 miles from home on a late Sunday afternoon.
The Explorer is superior at highway speeds but the 800 is a lot better than others-namely the F800GS.
Mileage is about the same.
The EXP has cruise control but you can put a throttle lock on the 800.
Both have crap windshields but a Madstad will turn either of them into very comfortable touring bikes.
I preferred the 800 gel seat over the EXP.
The EXP is a heavy beast when not rolling.
Bottom line, if I had to do it over, I would have kept the 800. It's just a great all round ride and very capable tourer. The EXP is also great but at my age it's overkill.

When I rode the Explorer, I was immediately comfortable and felt like I could point the thing at the horizon and just keep going. It handled superbly in the twisties, was stable and comfortable on the straights, and was just very confidence-inspiring all around.
I got off the Explorer, and the first words out of my mouth were, "When I finally do that trip to Alaska, I have GOT to budget for one of these!"
Then I got back on my T800XC, and by comparison it felt like a big dirtbike. Narrower, nimbler, more minimalist, tons of fun. Definitely what I'd choose for a day ride on narrow roads and, of course, for dirt road exploration... and yet it's very capable at long-distance touring too.
If money were no object, I'd get an Explorer too for long-haul riding. But I'd still be taking the 800 out as my everyday bike. And since money is an object and I have to choose, I'd choose the 800 XC again if something happened to mine.

Let me take the contrarian position. I, too, am a teacher, and will retire in June. I plan to tour the country when I retire next June, so I wanted a bike that could eat up the back roads comfortably, and still be useable on good dirt roads such as one encounters out west. Having read all of the threads on the Trans Lab ride, including MarkBVT's, the whole maritime circuit is also on my bucket list. Most importantly, with one daughter just finished with college, and one about to begin, a new bike would be a stretch.
Since my other bike is a classic triple, I knew it had to be another Triumph, as I couldn't live without that torque curve. Also, I do all my own work, and so I wanted something which I could maintain myself. That didn't necessarily rule out the new Tigers, but since I am not into the "transformer" styling of the new ADV bikes from any manufacturer, I patiently searched and finally found a 95 Steamer in great condition with low miles. It has carbs and the same engine as my Legend, so it was an easy choice. Once I swapped the bars and foot pegs it fits me great, and I absolutely love it. Oh, it cost $2500.
If you are trying to keep a tighter budget, I'd be looking at a mint Girlie, which will be somewhere in the $4000 range. Still lots of parts and they had full luggage, etc. available.
The downside is the alternator output doesn't match the new Tigers, which is enough to light a small city. If you're not running lots of stuff, though, that may be a moot point.
The new Tigers have their strengths and weaknesses, and the 800 hasn't had much done since it was new to update it. Yes, it is a great bike, but the other companies keep raising the bar, and Triumph hasn't responded.

Yea, this is a tough one. I've often thought that if I were strictly a solo rider, then the 800XC would be the perfect bike to replace both my KLR and Vstrom 1K. However, I primarily choose the TEX for doing 2-up touring, thinking (and probably rightly so) that it would be better than the 800 for the same. But I really enjoy it when solo as well! Yes, it is heavier to push around in the garage, but once you start moving, it doesn't matter.. Best I can tell, fuel economy is pretty close to the same (I'm averaging about 45-48mpg over the last 6k miles). However, if you want to do a lot of off-road, the 800 will have the advantage. Otherwise, the 1200 (with shaft drive, cruise control, traction control, etc.) is an excellent mileage cruncher and fine for occasional trips onto gravel/dirt roads (better than my Vstrom!). I could be happy with either, but I'm glad I choose the TEX. Ultimately, it is whichever makes you smile the most!

yeah so...you guys are giving me lots to think about. Which is the real reason behind the question.
I've always bought older, used, well maintained bikes and rarely ever had major issues. Its been a primary reason for the older Bricks. A k100 and 1100 LT. Freakin Bombproof and both have over 150K miles. ( and look it!)
I also own a 2000 Honda CRV with 225K+ miles. Self maintained. I bought this 2 yrs old and with 30K miles. The point here that I keep and maintain my vehicles for a long time, but also will ONLY buy those which have a history and reputation for durability and longevity. I'd have no problem with an older 1100 gs which can be had for under $5k and in great shape. HOWEVER! Im at a point in my life where I'd LIKE a newer bike, because I can. Housemate has an '07 1050 kitty cat which is WONDERFUL and frankly, likely perfect for me and my needs. I also can't tell the difference in performance between the 1050 and 800.
I'd like Ya'll to keep giving me fuel for thought here if you don't mind. I won't be spending the $$'s till summer anyway, but I will make my decision sooner than that. Its a bike I'll intend to have for 10+ years
One word which comes to mind as a difference between the 8 and the 12 is Feral. The 8 feels more feral. The cat thing perhaps. But that's what I get.

Speaking of durability and longevity, for what it's worth, my 2011 XC has 48,500 miles on it at this point and has been flawless. Fantastic motorcycle.

It really sounds like you want the 800. Just get it and start riding. Every day you don't ride is one that you can never get back.
It still is pretty amazing just how reliable these modern bikes are now. Do you ever really look at your bike in all of its minimalistic glory and think "I could throw a leg over this and ride it across this country without a worry"? I do that all of the time.
My point is that it really doesn't matter what anyone here says. Buy the one that speaks to your soul and enjoy it. I get the "wanna have a new one" thing completely, and say just go do it.

yup...that's the way I'll likely end up.. I just don't have all the $$'s yet.
On your other note.....My K's are quite simple and I DO throw a leg over and just go! My brother is in Sandy eggo. I go there and back every summer sometimes twice just because. I've done it all several times on my KLR as well...But it wears on me after 800 mile days. The Bricks can handle 10 hours at 80+ mph.
I'll keep an eye out here in the lists for a deal on an El Tigre and likely go with one of the 8's.
At the end of the day, i just LOVE to be on the road and somewhere other than where ever I was today

I just came off a 1050 Tiger and went with the XC because it gave me plenty of power and more fire road comfort. I was apprehensive about taking it down to our annual trip to ride twisties in SE Ohio (usually WV). Well I can tell you I no longer miss the 1050. The 800 XC was perfect. I strap a dry bag on and off I go. My wife likes the XC better tahn my former electra glides and the 1050. My good buddy has a TEX and he loves the power but not the weight. He tells me he is going to an 800 XC himself. It is light, nimble and tours well as Mark stated. You can't go wrong with either. I didn't go with the TEx because I wanted a lighter bike that didn't beg me to crank the throttle like the 1050 did. The 800 XC has PLENTY of power and is fun to ride. Check the smile indicator after you ride both, buy the one with the bigger smile if $$$ is no object.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Is Brandi Glanville Moving? RHoBH Star Tweets About Packing and New Lease
Brandi Glanville isn't one of the richest cast members of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she's doing well enough to plan a big move for her and her sons!
On March 22, the 40-year-old single mom tweeted about some potential new digs, writing, "I am filling out paper work [sic] like a mad lady trying to get this new lease for me and the boys!!! Prayers for us! The backyard is a kids dream."
Wow, sounds like Brandi Glanville's getting an upgrade! Not that her old home was a slouch by any means (not everyone can live in a place like Lisa Vanderpump's Villa Rosa, you know). She took fans on a tour of her home during Season 2 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, showing off her cozy Beverly Hills rambler with a gorgeous view.
Wherever Brandi's going, it sounds like it's happening soon — she's already boxing up her home. Later the same day, she tweeted, "Packing up my house and look what I found me and my cast and 'the good old days'!!" Accompanying the message was an old photo of Brandi with former friend Adrienne Maloof and her then-husband, Paul Nassif.
Maybe moving will cleanse Brandi of any bad energy caused by her epic rift with Adrienne during Season 3!

New Federal Student Aid ID Replacing PIN
The U.S. Department of Education is changing how students log in to certain federal websites. Previously, students were required to obtain a federal PIN. The PIN is being replaced with an FSA ID (a username and password) effective May 10, 2015. Your FSA ID confirms your identity when you access your financial aid information and electronically sign Federal Student Aid documents.
If you do not already have an FSA ID, you can create one when logging into one of these websites: FAFSA on the Web, the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and StudentLoans.gov. If you already have a federal PIN, you will be able to enter it and link it to your FSA ID. An FSA ID can be created even if you have forgotten your PIN.
The FSA ID Replacement Guide provides additional information.
File your 2015-16 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at Purdue North Central (school code 001826). A 2015-16 FAFSA should be filed by students who will be enrolled in fall 2015, spring 2016 and summer 2016.
The State Financial Aid edit deadline is May 25, 2015! Be sure to make any corrections to your FAFSA or turn in any required documents to the Financial Aid Office asap to make sure you have a clean FAFSA by May 25.
Awarding for freshman students has begun! Awarding for sophomores, juniors and seniors will begin in May after spring 2015 grades are posted and Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress has been run.
The Financial Aid Process webpage has additional information on filing your FAFSA, verification and awarding.
If you are interested in financial aid for summer 2015 and have not already filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), file a 2014-15 FAFSA. Click on Summer 2015 Financial Aid for important information.
Complete the following items in preparation for summer 2015:
- Register for your summer 2015 classes
- Confirm your enrollment for summer (confirm enrollment each semester)
- Make payment arrangements for any balance not covered by financial aid by the May 1, 2015 summer payment deadline
- Check you Satisfactory Academic Progress status for summer in May shortly after spring grades have posted
Note: if your status changes to ineligible you are responsible for payment in full. You may appeal an ineligible status.
If you attended another school in 2014-15, notify your prior school that you will be attending Purdue University North Central. Also, be sure to let the Financial Aid Office at your prior school know that you will no longer be attending (if this is the case) and request that any remaining eligible aid is cancelled. You may only receive aid at one school each term. Additional information is available at Transferring Your Financial Aid.
Indiana awards and scholarships are administered by the Division of Student Financial Aid (SFA) and include the Frank O'Bannon Grant, The 21st Century Scholars Award and the Part-Time Grant. You may apply for state aid at Purdue University North Central (PNC) by filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA must be received by the Federal Processor for state financial aid consideration after January 1 but on or before March 10 each year and you should list PNC as your first Indiana college choice (school code 001826). SFA has a self-service website, called eStudent, for students that have filed a FAFSA as residents of the State of Indiana.

Render: Lamborghini Urus Concept on ADV.1 Wheels
Despite the fact that Lamborghini has yet to decide whether or not the Urus SUV Concept will ever hit production, LamboCARS recently put together the following rendering of the car riding on five-spoke matte black ADV.1 wheels.
Only one Lamborghini Urus Concept has been revealed publically thus far, with it being finished in the same shade of pearl red as the Aventador J, but the following rendering managed to turn that bright color into a much stealthier shade of matte black, with the highly-tinted windshield and side windows helping to top off what can only be descried as one of the most-menacing SUV's we've ever seen, whether it be in real life or simply a rendering!

Business Practices
Introduction: Banking on America's Misfortunes
Download our complete report on Bank of America (PDF).Over the last two years, millions of Americans have lost their homes, jobs, and savings, and the economy has plunged into a deep recession that experts worry could last years. But even as the warning signs for a serious economic downturn became clear in 2007, Ken Lewis "foresaw a watershed year for Bank of America (BofA), a chance to inflict pain on competitors that lacked its scale, diversity and cash." Lewis, BofA's CEO, firmly proclaimed, "This is the time I think we could go for the jugular, really be disruptive and take market share." A few months later, shortly after announcing the acquisition of LaSalle Bank, BofA raised its noncustomer ATM fee by 50% to a new industry high of $3. Skyrocketing Bank Fees
In 2007, BofA collected $9.5 billion in bank fees, up from $4.1 billion in 2000 - 132% growth. In fact, BofA's American customers paid over $14 in fees for every $1,000 in their bank accounts in 2007, 37% higher than its nearest competitor among the nation's top five banks at the time.
In January 2008, the bank's CFO told analysts, "consumer fee increases in mortgage, card, and service charge revenues" would drive BofA's non-interest income growth. Shortly thereafter, the Forbes Magazine reported that BofA was arbitrarily running up interest rates for thousands of its American credit cardholders, including those who had never missed a payment, apparently, to generate new income and stem their losses. In 2007, BofA raised interest rates on about 1 million play-by-the-rules, pay-on-time credit card customers.
Anti-Consumer Lobbying Agenda
BofA also pursues an aggressive anti-consumer agenda on Capitol Hill, lobbying directly for policies that would saddle consumers with substantially more credit card debt and prevent them from getting out from under the crush of predatory lending and advocated against policies that would have assisted homeowners facing foreclosure.
In March 2008, BofA and other big banks successfully prevented credit card customers from testifying at a hearing on Rep. Carolyn Maloney's (D-NY) Credit Card Bill of Rights. The banks demanded that customers who had flown from all over the country sign waivers allowing their personal financial information to be revealed to the public before they could testify. They refused.
Similarly, MBNA, BofA's credit card arm, was one of the chief proponents of the 2005 bankruptcy bill that can saddle consumers with debt and lead to wage garnishment for decades. BofA and Countrywide were also among the banks that lobbied to block the passage of Sen. Harry Reid's (D-NV) Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008, which would have helped consumers facing the threat of foreclosure.
Discrimination in the Workplace
BofA employees have raised charges of racial discrimination. In 2007, African-American employees in St. Louis, Atlanta, and Boston filed a class-action lawsuit charging that the bank assigns African-American employees to predominantly minority communities because the bank says that clients "are more 'comfortable' dealing with sales professionals of their own race." The case is still pending.
Reckless Mortgage Lending
Last spring, BofA acquired Countrywide Financial, making it the biggest originator and servicer of mortgages in America. Countrywide had been one of the nation's largest providers of nonprime and subprime loans, and its business practices wreaked havoc on America's communities. At the end of 2007, $15.1 billion worth of mortgages in its loan servicing portfolio were in foreclosure. Countrywide was investigated by the FBI, the U.S. Justice Department, and multiple state Attorney General offices in 2008 for predatory lending and securities fraud. BofA is still dealing with Countrywide's legal problems, which included numerous lawsuits, some of which have settled, that were brought against the company for its allegedly abusive lending practices and financial practices. For example his past December, BofA agreed to refund $11.5 million to North Carolina homeowners whom regulators claim Countrywide had illegally overcharged.
Since taking over Countrywide, BofA has failed to adequately change course. BofA initially praised the Countrywide business model and offered its President and COO a $28 million retention bonus to stay and head BofA's mortgage operations. Although BofA agreed to get rid of him after a public outcry, he got to keep the $28 million anyway. BofA also settled a predatory lending lawsuit brought against Countrywide by fifteen state attorneys general, and agreed to widespread loan modifications for borrowers facing foreclosure at an estimated cost of $8.4 billion. However, investors who own the underlying mortgages say that BofA is shifting the cost of the settlement onto them, even though the lawsuit stemmed from Countrywide's predatory business practices. Furthermore, BofA has a policy of evicting innocent renters who are current on their rent but live in buildings where the landlord has been foreclosed on, rather than signing new leases with them like Fannie Mae does.
Following the Countrywide acquisition, BofA became the largest underwriter of mortgage-backed securities in the country. While BofA itself stopped originating subprime mortgage loans in 2001, it continued to package subprime mortgage-backed securities. This allowed subprime lenders to bundle up their loans and sell them to investors without worrying about the borrowers' ability to repay. It encouraged other banks to keep making subprime loans, and made it possible for the subprime
Tax Avoidance Schemes
Even though Bank of America benefits from taxpayer bailouts, it bites the hand that feeds it. The bank has a history rife with questions about its involvement in tax avoidance schemes:
- In the past, BofA moved at least $8 billion into investment funds to shelter income from state taxes. Those funds wound down their activities shortly after being investigated. BofA also has several offshore subsidiaries in known tax havens, such as the Cayman Islands.
- BofA agreed in 2005 to pay the largest-ever money-laundering fine levied by a securities regulator - $3 million - to settle charges that it aided billionaires with tax evasion schemes.
- BofA has been involved in legal battles with the states of West Virginia and Massachusetts over state taxes. In both states, the courts ruled against BofA.

If you think putting a fraud alert on your credit report will stop
an identity thief, think again.
"Just because a fraud alert is on there
does not mean it provides much of a measure of protection,"
says Judith Collins, director of Identity Theft Partnerships in
Prevention at Michigan State University.
A fraud alert is a statement that's placed on your credit report
to alert creditors that your private financial information has been
or may be compromised. A fraud alert also lists your telephone number.
Creditors are asked to call and verify all credit applications made
in your name before granting credit.
What good is a fraud alert?
Fraud alerts are supposed to curb identity theft by preventing
impostors from receiving credit in victims' names. But a fraud alert
will only work if a creditor takes the time to read it. This doesn't
always happen. And some lenders grant credit without even pulling
a person's full credit report.
"A fraud alert is supposed to be a warning to protect a company
from fraud, yet they choose to blindly go against it," says
Jay Foley, co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource
Keep in mind that fraud alerts are advisory only. Lenders are not
legally obligated to act on them in any way.
Each of the three major credit-reporting agencies offers two levels
of fraud alerts. For details, check out this chart:
Lenders that brush off consumer fraud warnings and ID verification
requests could wind up issuing credit to impostors time and time
again, and the victims get stuck with a credit mess, time and time
Identity-theft victims end up monitoring their credit reports and
disputing inaccurate information long after learning of the crime.
Just ask Tracey Thomas of San Francisco. A health care worker stole
her identity in late 1999. Thomas learned of the crime in March
2000 and immediately put a fraud alert on her credit report.
"She was still able to get credit in my name with no problem
at all. So was I when my credit wasn't trashed," Thomas says.
An uneasy pattern set in over the next several months. Posing as
Thomas, a thief opened credit accounts, ran up balances and walked
away from the bills.
Thomas then went to work informing creditors and the credit reporting
agencies that a thief was making charges in her name.
As soon as Thomas got her credit report cleaned up, her impostor
started charging again.
"She'd wait for me to clean it up and
apply for credit all over again," Thomas says.
All told, a thief was able to run up $15,000 of charges in Thomas'
Since placing a fraud alert on her credit report in March 2000,
Thomas has applied for credit on four separate occasions. Three
out of four creditors granted her credit without first verifying
her identity.
"Only one creditor has ever bothered with my fraud alert,"
Thomas says. "One credit card company was responsible enough
to see there was a fraud alert and obey it."
Can politicians help?
Legislators are looking at ways to make fraud alerts more
effective deterrents of identity theft.
Senate bill S. 223 introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.,
would give the Federal Trade Commission the authority to impose
fines on creditors that fail to heed fraud alerts.
A state Senate bill in California would require banks and retailers
to honor all fraud alerts. According to SB 25, which was passed
by the California Senate on June 4, any business that pulls a credit
report with a fraud alert must contact the consumer at the phone
number on the alert before approving new loans and credit.
Any federal bills aiding identity-theft victims are likely to be
addressed later this year when the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which
is up for renewal, is reviewed.
"It's going to require legislation," Foley says. "Voluntary
programs to check fraud alerts are already in place and they don't
work 100 percent."
Credit reporting agencies, while making it easier to place fraud
alerts on a consumer credit file with a new one-call
system, are no help when it comes to enforcing fraud alerts.
"It's incumbent on credit grantors," says Jeffrey Junkas,
a spokesman for TransUnion. "We've done our part in informing
credit grantors of a consumer's wishes in the fraud alert."
As long as some credit grantors continue to ignore fraud alerts,
identity-theft victims and their credit reports will remain vulnerable
to new credit assaults.
"There's a very high stress level," says Collins, whose
identity was stolen almost four years ago. "The problems go
on and on. Once an identity is stolen, it's gone."
A thief could strike again at any time.
"You never know," Collins says. "I
still don't know."

EPA, why fine oil firms over fantasy biofuel?
July 13, 2012 at 7:00 pm in The Dickinson Press
Why does America's economy feel like an SUV running on fumes? The Obama administration's laughably rigid enforcement of a Baby Bush-era ethanol mandate typifies today's regulatory climate. When Uncle Sam governs with a tire iron in his hand, U.S. companies wisely pull off the road and pray for new management. Continue Reading

Trevi (rione of Rome)
Trevi is the rione II of Rome. The origin of its name is not clear, but the most accepted possibility is that it comes from the Latin trivium (meaning "three streets"), because there were three streets all leading to "piazza dei Crociferi", a square next to the modern Trevi square. Its logo is made of three swords on a red background.
This rione, during the Roman republic belonged to the third region, while during the Roman empire was split up into two regions: the VI, called Alta Semita and the VII, called via Lata.
During the ancient Roman period, in rione Trevi there were large groups of private houses with some monumental buildings. Since that time the area was actually split up into two parts: a lower one, level and next to the river Tiber, and a higher one on the hills. The first one was one of the center of the activities of the city, while the second one was a rich and peaceful residential area.
After the fall of the Roman empire, a lot of people moved away from the hills to settle next to the river, in the lower part. The urbanization followed the people: next to the river Tiber the rione was full of buildings while almost nothing was built again on the hills until the Renaissance.
In 1600 urbanization, new streets, churches and fountains caused the rione Trevi to be quite crowded, and it did not change sensibly until the end of the 19th century. The Quirinal Hill, partially isolated from the crowded part close to the river, was slowly becoming a center of power thanks to numerous buildings belonging to the Pope.
Under the domination of Napoleon, in 1811, the Quirinal Hill was selected to be the center of the imperial power in Rome. The plan was not completed because of the fall of Napoleon, but the idea remained and was partially achieved after Rome became capital of Italy, after the 1870. In fact nowadays several ministers are placed in the rione Trevi.
This changed completely the appearance of the higher part of the rione, that was not very crowded but full of small streets, churches and monumental buildings.
The most famous monument in the rione is Trevi Fountain.
Public libraries in Trevi include Romana Sarti and Casa delle Traduzioni.[1]

2010 Program Conference
I just wanted to share, in case anyone is interested, some basic evaluation results of our 2010 Program Conference. I personally had a great time and loved the location and space. I hope you all did too and maybe even left having learned a few new tricks to use in your job.
Here are some of the more interesting tidbits from the eval.
I hope you had a worthwhile experience at Program Conference this year! I sure enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces!
Here are some of the more interesting tidbits from the eval.
- Educational sessions (break-outs) were the most valuable part of the conference to 36% of respondents, the highest ranked part of the conference. This marks an interesting change from last year, when Center-organized time was the highest ranked event (39% marked it as most valuable in 2009, compared to 20% this year).
- The Hilton and the Bloomington location were rated as excellent. (For this reason we are considering having it there again next year!)
- The Poster Session was considered good networking time by 61% of respondents, and a very useful and informative session by 40% of respondents. Fifty-eight percent of respondents learned about Extension projects they did not previously have knowledge of. The Poster Session used to be more universally-loved on the eval, so I wonder if this means it is time to shake things up a bit.
- Fifty-eight percent of respondents indicated they participated in some aspect of Technopalooza (Technology Fair, held all day Tuesday). Of these respondents, 80% thought it was an effective way to teach technology topics at Program Conference. Forty-eight percent of all survey respondents thought a Technopalooza type of event should be included in the conference next year.
- General feedback indicated that participants liked the variety offered at the conference this year and the fact that networking was explicitly encouraged.
I hope you had a worthwhile experience at Program Conference this year! I sure enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces!

Construction begins on the first railroad in New York City, the New York and Harlem Railroad. The first section opened in 1832 and ran between Prince Street and 14th Street in the Bowery. Construction continued in sections until 1852, running north to Chatham, N.Y. The first railcars were drawn by horses. Steam engines were introduced in 1837, to partially replace horses.
The first Grand Central Terminal is built by shipping magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. The building housed three railroads with separate waiting, baggage, and ticketing areas for each. It was virtually obsolete upon completion.
Years of bans on steam locomotive use in addition to public dismay culminate in a public outcry when a fatal train crash occurs, instantly killing 15 people and injuring 38. The crash occurred in a tunnel where steam obscured visibility. A week after the accident, railroads proposed plans to improve safety. Before the end of the year a proposal was in place to demolish the current station and build a two-level, all electric terminal.
Construction begins on Grand Central Terminal and continues for the next 10 years. Despite the scale of the project, both above and below ground, rail service continues uninterrupted.
The terminal opens its doors to the public. More than 150,000 people visited it that day.
An entire neighborhood begins to grow around the terminal. The Yale Club and the Biltmore Hotel open their doors shortly after Grand Central. Many others follow suit in subsequent years, including the Chanin Building, the Lincoln Building, the Chrysler Building, Hotel Commodore, and the Graybar Building.
The terminal flourishes, remaining the busiest train terminal in the nation. Various art exhibits and events take place in its halls.
More than 65 million people travel via Grand Central Terminal in the course of this year—the equivalent of 40 percent of the United States population.
Grand Central Terminal is designated a landmark by the Landmarks Preservation Committee. The commission was formed in response to the demolition of the original Penn Station.
A proposed tower is to be built atop the terminal with much of the facade to be covered up and part of the main concourse demolished. The Landmarks Commission, backed by several public advocates, blocked the plans. Penn Central, the owner of the building, sues the city.
After nearly a decade of litigation and public advocacy spearheaded by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Brendan Gill, the building was named a national historic landmark, ending the legal debate. Although the building was saved, lack of maintenance became a real threat: the roof was leaking, the ceiling was nearly pitch black from decades of collecting cigarette tar, and structural steel was rusting, among other problems.
A renovation is commissioned by MetroNorth.
A $425 million renovation plan is approved by the MTA.
One of the first renovated spaces opens to the public. Previously used as a waiting room, the hall was converted to a special events and exhibitions space.
Major internal and external renovations are completed, with minor improvements to be made over the next decade. The building is rededicated, to much national and international media attention.
Grand Central solidifies as a true New York City icon—not only in terms of transportation, but its eateries alone draw an estimated 10,000 people daily for lunch. In addition, the terminal becomes one of the most successful shopping centers in the United States.

Persona 3′s elusive, long-hyped film releases a new key visual and PV package to join the already expansive collection – the suicidal gun to head gimmick is through with, replaced with more graveyard mischief.
This PV presents the wider scale of events and characters – showing off more action and combat scenes, giving an idea of the battles to be within, and also interestingly, the vast roster of characters. For what started and kept itself sustained on the image of a single mysterious fellow with a gun to his head, there appears to be a rather significant number of characters overall who will be interesting to see exhibiting their roles.

For me, the creation of a photograph is experienced as a heightened emotional response, most akin to poetry and music, each image the culmination of a compelling impulse I cannot deny. Whether working with a human figure or a still life, I am deeply aware of my spiritual connection with it.' Ruth Bernhard 1986

Addis Ababa — The president of South Sudan, Salva Kir Mayardit, Monday in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), hailed Angolan support to resolve the dispute with Sudan and pacify the region of the common border.
The appreciation was expressed at a meeting that Salva Kir held with the vice-president, Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos, on the sidelines of the XIX Summit of Heads of State and Government of African Union (AU), held in the Ethiopian capital.
According to the South Sudanese minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hon Nhial Deng Nhial, the meeting also served to inform about the conflict and to ask Angola to exert its influence to resolve the territorial dispute.
He thinks Angola, as a member of the AU Peace and Security Council, can play a big role for the agreements that may be achieved.
Hon Nhial Deng Nhial considered an advancement for the agreement on the date of commencement of talks between the two States, under the mediation of the AU. He said that they are open to negotiations and expects to enforce the resolutions of the United Nations.
The Republic of Sudan South became independent from Sudan on 9 July 2011, following a referendum organized by the UN. However, the two countries are still facing territorial disputes in areas rich in oil, mainly from the region of Abyei.
