I think this thread is a hotbed of interesting morality. Here's some of mine. I'm defining fight as the physical expression of affective aggression.
I'm not going to physically for the sake of anyone (my woman/kid included) who starts a fight until they lose.
Depending on the circumstances (and the severity), if I'm struck before I can react (open or closed hand) and just that once, I probably wouldn't retaliate. Not worth it. I get hit multiple times or hard enough, however, it's a fight.

Narrow your search
With 10 hot-swappable hard drives capable of storing 26,000 hours of shows, the rack-mountable Mega is a dream TV recorder for custom home-theater installs.
Pricing not available
The TiVo Roamio is hands-down the best DVR for recording over-the-air TV, but its excellence comes at a great cost.
The TiVo Mini is an easy way to give another TV in your home access to your TiVo DVR, live TV, and streaming services. But if you're not in a hurry, you may want to wait till more features and services arrive.
TiVo Roamio OTA is an excellent DVR, but its monthly fee structure makes it too expensive for people cutting the cable cord. The standard TiVo Roamio is a better choice overall for cord cutters.
For TiVo Premiere owners with iOS devices, the TiVo Stream is a cool addition to your AV setup and mobile life.
If you're willing to pay the premium price, TiVo's do-it-all Roamio is the best cable DVR yet and an able whole-home TV solution.
The Premiere 4 has all the features of the XL4, but with a quarter of its storage space.
The TiVo Premiere Elite might be a luxury, but it's definitely a luxury worth paying for.
The Web portal allows anyone to use TiVo's unified search, and subscribers can manage their TiVo DVRs and stream recordings in a Web browser.
The free service allows anyone to track down shows and movies available from video-streaming services and broadcast TV, while subscribers can do much more.

Great for a set and forget
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
A little small for my bear paws to use, but work pretty well for simple anchors and other tasks where I don't need to fuss with them too much.
Works really well with a personal anchor system. The unique color makes it unmistakable, though the small size makes setting it when you're tweaked a little more difficult.
Follow-up. It breaks my heart to say but I dropped it at the top of a pitch. I don't know what went wrong, but it's now retired. I'll have to buy a replacement.

Representing a minority viewpoint among chiropractors that is shared by those known as reform chiropractors, the NACM advocates a highly limited use of spinal manipulative procedures "only for the treatment of some neuromusculoskeletal conditions of musculoskeletal origin," for example the treatment of "sore backs and other musculo-skeletal problems." By openly rejecting some of the more controversial aspects of chiropractic, including the original chiropractic hypothesis that vertebral subluxations are the cause of all diseases, NACM members claim to receive mainstream approval more so than practitioners of straight or mixing chiropractic.
Groupings within the chiropractic profession have been studied and categorized in various ways and the placement of the NACM within that spectrum has been mentioned in the literature. A 2005 study made with support from the chiropractic community had this to say:
This statement referenced the NACM as a subgroup of evidence-based chiropractors:
The NACM is a private organization that accepts members by invitation only and does not release membership data, however the neutral Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the antagonistic ICA have estimated its membership to be in the low hundreds or less.
In 2002 the Journal of Controversial Medical Claims published a paper submitted by the NACM entitled "NACM and its argument with mainstream chiropractic health care." In 2005, chiropractic leader Anthony Rosner had some strong words for the paper:
In 2006 the Maryland Health Care Commission examined and briefly compared the positions of the three chiropractic groups "with policies on spinal manipulation services for children: American Chiropractic Association (ACA); International Chiropractors Association (ICA – with its specialty department, The Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics; members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association are a general sub-set of ICA); and National Association for Chiropractic Medicine (NACM)." It then noted that the NACM position differed from the positions of the other groups, both for adults and children:
The NACM has met with strong disapproval from the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) and other chiropractic organizations, and sparked controversy within the chiropractic profession in 1986 by coming out in favor of chiropractors using pharmaceuticals.

AboutCHELSEA space presents Markets, an exhibition comprising a physical framework of renewed and re-designed CRT monitors by The Block, and a multi-channel video and sound installation by Charlotte Prodger. The Block was set up in 2007 by Matthew Fitts with the primary purpose of acquiring and refurbishing obsolete Hantarex and Sony Cube video monitors. This activity is based around an interest in their formal qualities, rapid obsolescence and widespread use among artists. For this exhibition, The Block has designed and produced a new hybrid monitor which splices formal qualities of both the Hantarex and Sony models. Charlotte Prodger's installations and performances reroute elements of display and design alongside decontextualised narratives, to create an itinerant space of desire. Multiple subjectivities and coded erotics are held in tension with the pared-back formalism of her installations, in which the rectilinear forms of audio-visual technology echo those of minimalist sculpture. The Hantarex monitor has been a core component of Prodger's installations and she has recently built display mechanisms specifically to fit their form. The Hantarex was originally designed for modular use in public spaces such as betting shops, train stations, amusement arcades, night clubs and shopping centres, while the Sony Cube originated as a broadcast reference monitor for edit suites. Their market has subsequently shifted toward art galleries and museums. Markets takes it title from a thoroughbred racehorse part-owned by Matthew Fitts. A convention when naming racehorses is to splice together, either conceptually or literally, the names of the foal's parents. Markets considers the video monitor on one level as a blank, interchangeable vessel for the purposes of channeling content; and on another level as a discrete entity with its own design history, social context and relationship to the human body. Central to this exhibition is the slippery idea of the version, where something produces a mutation of itself. This concern is approached through ergonomic design, language structures, and the compromises and amalgams implicit in the collaborative process itself. The Block was established in 2007 by Matthew Fitts and operates from South East London. The Block acquires and restores discontinued Hantarex and Sony CRT monitors, hiring them to galleries and museums internationally. This funds an evolving index of activities which has included the design and fabrication of bespoke display stands for artists such as James Richards and shows including Dennis Oppenheim at MOT, hosting exhibitions and publishing books by artists including Karin Ruggaber, Sara MacKillop, Sean Edwards, Richard Bevan & Tamsin Clark and Melanie Counsell. Charlotte Prodger (b.1974, Bournemouth) lives and works in Glasgow. Solo exhibitions include handclap/punchhole, Kendall Koppe, Glasgow (2011); Percussion Biface 1-13, Studio Voltaire, London; :-* , Intermedia CCA, Glasgow, 2012; Jason Loebs and Charlotte Prodger, Essex Street, New York (2012) and Nephatiti, Glasgow International Director's Programme, 2014. Selected group exhibitions include LUX Biennial of Moving Images, ICA, London, 2011; Old Photocopier, HOTEL, London, 2012; Frozen Lakes, Artists Space, New York, 2013; Costume: Written Clothing, Tramway, Glasgow, 2013; Holes in The Walls, Kunsthalle Freiburg, 2013 and Annals of The Twentieth Century, Wysing Arts, 2014. Prodger's writing has been published in 2HB and F.R.DAVID. She has a solo show at Inverleith House, Edinburgh in 2015 and is represented by Kendall Koppe Gallery.

London needs different approach to sewage spill problem, expert says
Proposed plans for London's super sewer may not be as effective as many people believe and an alternative solution should be considered, according to the former director general of regulator Ofwat, Sir Ian Byatt.
Instead of investing an estimated £4.2 billion ($6.74 billion) to create a 16-mile sewer that would be wide enough to fit three double decker buses and is believed to be able to prevent raw sewage from spilling into the Thames, the biggest British water company -- Thames Water -- should look at a combination of smaller and cheaper projects that could achieve the same goal, Sir Ian told the Guardian.
The combined effect of these smaller projects, ranging from storm tanks to improved urban drainage, would help stop the contamination of the Thames with raw sewage. Sir Ian pointed out that the focus should not be on a particular project but on how to solve the problem. He called for a different approach to the issue, supporting the one used in the United States. Instead of embarking on expensive megaprojects, concentrating on making urban drainage more sustainable would be a better solution, he pointed out.
RELATED: Equipment failure causes Indiana wastewater plant discharge
According to the Guardian, raw sewage discharge in the Thames occurs every week and under EU regulations Thames Water is obliged to stop this from happening. The water company estimates that building the tunnel under the city would cost half as much as holding the London Olympic Games.
Ministers are expected to make a decision on the project by the summer or fall of next year, the newspaper said.

The Antitrust Division's vigorous criminal enforcement efforts continued in the past year. The Division obtained significant fines and prison sentences, including the longest sentence involving a Sherman Act violation and other criminal activity, and won jury trial victories relating to its Superfund fraud and real estate foreclosure auctions investigations. The Division also obtained a conviction against the first defendant charged in its investigation of an ocean shipping cartel. And it achieved additional convictions in its investigations of bid rigging involving airline charter services and a number of cartels involving auto parts.
In total, the Division filed 50 criminal cases and obtained just over $1 billion in criminal fines in fiscal year 2013. In these cases, the Division charged 21 corporations and 34 individuals and courts imposed 28 prison terms with an average sentence of just over two years per defendant.
The Division also established a second criminal office in Washington, D.C. Its initial focus will be investigating real estate foreclosure auction bid rigging in the southeastern United States, and over time it will expand to include a full portfolio of matters.
The FY 2013 $1.02 billion criminal fine total is one of the highest ever obtained by the Division and the third time since 2009 that the Division exceeded the $1 billion fine mark. Since 2009, the Division has obtained more than $4 billion in criminal fines. The average annual criminal fine total of $847 million in this period compares with the Division's average annual direct appropriation of about $85.5 million. Since January 2009, the Division has filed 339 criminal cases, a more than 60 percent increase over the prior five-year period.
Criminal fines the Antitrust Division obtains do not go to the Division, but rather are contributed to the Crime Victim's Fund, helping those victimized by crimes throughout our country.
The Division continued its pursuit of culpable individuals—holding them accountable is the most effective way to deter and punish cartel activity. This year, in connection with its coastal shipping investigation, the Division obtained a five-year prison sentence, the longest ever for a Sherman Act violation. And in the Division's investigation of kickbacks at Environmental Protection Agency Superfund sites, a defendant was sentenced to 14 years in prison for antitrust violations, fraud, and other criminal activity.
Individuals prosecuted by the Division are being sent to prison with increasing frequency and for longer periods of time. During FY 2013, 68 percent of the individuals sentenced in Division cases received prison time. The Division now is sending nearly twice as many defendants to prison as it did in the 1990s, with those defendants serving longer terms. In FY 2013, the average prison sentence for Division defendants was 25 months, more than three times the average of eight months in the 1990s.
Ten foreign nationals were sentenced to imprisonment during FY 2013, with an average sentence of 15 months. The Division remains committed to ensuring that culpable foreign nationals, just like U.S. co-conspirators, serve prison sentences for violating the U.S. antitrust laws and to using all appropriate tools to find and arrest or extradite international fugitives.
The Division secured two significant criminal trial wins in the past year.
On March 11, 2014, following a four-week trial, an Eastern District of California jury convicted two real estate investors of conspiring to rig bids at public real estate foreclosure auctions in San Joaquin County, California. One of the defendants also was convicted of obstruction of justice for destroying evidence related to the crimes. The jury could not reach a verdict on a count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud against these two defendants. The jury found a third defendant, an auctioneer, not guilty.
The convicted investors and their co-conspirators agreed to suppress and restrain competition by rigging bids to obtain selected properties offered at public auctions. Evidence showed that after the conspirators' designated bidder bought a property at a public auction, they often would hold a second, private auction, at which each participating conspirator would bid the amount above the public auction price he or she was willing to pay. The conspirator who bid the highest amount at the end of the private auction won the property. The difference between the price at the public auction and that at the second auction was the group's illicit profit, and it was divided among the conspirators in payoffs. This was money that otherwise would have gone to pay off mortgages and, in some cases, the defaulting homeowners. The bid-rigging conspiracy lasted from at least September 2008 until at least October 2009. To date, 46 individuals either have pled guilty or agreed to plead guilty in connection with the real estate foreclosure auctions investigation in northern California.

Two Real Estate Investors Convicted for Roles in Bid-Rigging Conspiracy in San Joaquin County, Calif. Real Estate Foreclosure Auctions
On September 30, 2013, following a two-week trial, a jury in New Jersey returned guilty verdicts on 10 counts charged in the indictment against a former project manager for a prime contractor, for his central role in conspiracies that spanned seven years and involved kickbacks in excess of $1.5 million at two Environmental Protection Agency Superfund sites. The defendant was convicted of engaging in separate conspiracies with three subcontractors at two New Jersey Superfund sites—Federal Creosote in Manville, N.J., and Diamond Alkali in Newark, N.J. He also was convicted of engaging in an international money laundering scheme, major fraud against the United States, accepting illegal kickbacks, committing two tax violations, and obstruction of justice. The defendant was acquitted on two counts involving certain fraud and kickback charges. As part of the conspiracies, he and co-conspirators at his former company accepted kickbacks from subcontractors in exchange for the award of subcontracts at Federal Creosote. He also provided co-conspirators with their competitors' bid prices, which allowed them to submit higher bid prices and still be awarded the subcontracts. On March 3, 2014, the defendant was sentenced to 14 years in prison and to pay a $50,000 fine. The court will order restitution at a later date.
To date, more than $6 million in criminal fines and restitution have been imposed in the course of this investigation, and six individuals have been sentenced to serve more than 24 years in total prison time.

Former Project Manager Sentenced to Serve Time in Prison for Role in Bid Rigging and Other Fraudulent Schemes Involving Two EPA Superfund Sites in New Jersey
September 30, 2013
Former Project Manager Convicted for Role in Conspiracy Schemes Involving Two EPA Superfund Sites in New Jersey
The Division's ongoing automobile parts investigation has yielded unprecedented results. On September 26, 2013, the Division undertook the largest simultaneous enforcement action in its history, bringing charges against nine companies, which agreed to the imposition of a total of more than $740 million in fines, and two individuals. Recently, the investigation also yielded the fourth-largest criminal antitrust fine ever imposed—a $425 million fine against Bridgestone Corporation.
To date, the investigation has resulted in charges against 26 companies and 29 individuals and more than $2 billion in criminal fines for participation in conspiracies to fix prices of and rig bids on automobile parts, including safety systems such as seat belts, air bags, steering wheels, and antilock brake systems, and critical parts such as antivibration rubber, instrument panel clusters, starter motors, and wire harnesses. Twenty-three of the individuals have pleaded guilty or agreed to plead guilty and have agreed to serve prison sentences ranging from a year and a day to two years. The Division continues to cooperate on this investigation with its counterparts in Japan, South Korea, the EC, and Canada, among others.

As of March 2014, due to the Division's efforts, 90 defendants have pleaded guilty to real estate foreclosure and tax liens conspiracies across the United States that suppress and restrain competition in ways that harm our communities and already financially distressed homeowners.
The Division has partnered with the FBI to combat a pattern of collusive schemes among real estate speculators aimed at eliminating competition at real estate foreclosure auctions. Instead of competitively bidding at public auctions for foreclosed properties, groups of real estate speculators work together to keep public auction prices artificially low by paying each other to refrain from bidding or holding unofficial "knockoff" auctions among themselves. The Division has taken recent action against real estate investors who purchased rigged properties in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties, California, as well as Mobile, Alabama, and Atlanta, Georgia. As described above, the Division recently secured convictions at trial against two real estate investors for conspiring to rig bids at real estate foreclosure auctions in San Joaquin County, California.
View real estate foreclosure auctions investigation press releases and case filings.
Similar collusive conduct also has been detected among bidders for public tax liens, and eleven individuals and three companies have pleaded guilty as part of an ongoing investigation into bid rigging and fraud related to such auctions in New Jersey. Additionally, four individuals and two entities were indicted on November 19, 2013.
View municipal tax lien auctions investigation press releases and case filings.
The Division is investigating this type of anticompetitive conduct at auctions in multiple states. Through its work combating bid rigging and collusion at public auctions, the Antitrust Division has been a major contributor to the efforts of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) to investigate and prosecute financial crimes.
In the LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate)/Euribor investigation, the Division, in conjunction with the Criminal Division, obtained a conviction against Rabobank, which agreed to pay $325 million in criminal penalties. The Division also filed criminal complaints against three former brokers and five former traders for their roles in manipulating LIBOR and/or Euribor benchmark interest rates. In all, the Division has obtained $475 million in criminal fines and penalties in this ongoing investigation, and the total global criminal and regulatory fines, penalties, and disgorgement obtained by enforcement authorities is over $3.7 billion. The broader investigation relating to LIBOR and other benchmark rates has required, and has greatly benefited from, a diligent and wide-ranging cooperative effort among various enforcement agencies both in the United States and abroad. The FBI, Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, U.K. Financial Conduct Authority and Serious Fraud Office, Japanese Ministry of Justice, Japan Financial Services Agency, Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, Dutch Public Prosecution Service, and Dutch Central Bank all have played major roles in the LIBOR investigation.

The Division, in concert with other federal agencies, continues to obtain convictions in criminal conspiracies involving bid rigging in the municipal bond investments market. The schemes under investigation involve unlawful agreements to manipulate the bidding process on municipal investment and related contracts—financial instruments that were used to invest the proceeds of, or manage the risks associated with, bond issuances by municipalities and other public entities. The bonds these crimes affect support critical municipal infrastructure, like roads, schools, and other projects.

Most recently, the Division has taken action against former UBS and Bank of America executives. To date the Division's ongoing investigation has resulted in criminal charges against 20 former executives of various financial services companies and one corporation. Seventeen of the 20 executives charged have pleaded guilty or were convicted at trial. In addition, financial institutions have agreed to pay a combined total of nearly $750 million in restitution, penalties, and disgorgement to federal and state agencies for their roles in the conduct.
On February 24, 2014, the Division obtained the fifth guilty plea to arise out of its ongoing investigation into fraud and anticompetitive conduct in the airline charter services industry. A former employee of Aviation Fuel International, Inc. (AFI) pleaded guilty to a felony charge filed in Kansas City, Missouri. The charge against him stemmed from the investigation into kickback payments by AFI and its employees to the former vice president of ground operations for Ryan International Airlines. The defendant worked for AFI from June 2007 to March 2008, and during that time Ryan's vice president received kickback payments from AFI on aviation fuel, services, and equipment sold by AFI to Ryan. AFI's owner and operator pleaded guilty on March 6, 2014, bringing the total number of guilty pleas to six.
Four of the six individuals who have pleaded guilty have been ordered to serve sentences ranging from 16 to 87 months in prison and to pay more than $580,000 in restitution.

On February 27, 2014, the Division brought the first charges in its investigation of a conspiracy involving ocean shipping services. Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores S.A. (CSAV), a Chilean corporation, was the first company charged in the conspiracy to suppress and eliminate competition by allocating customers and routes, rigging bids, and fixing prices for the sale of international ocean shipping services for roll-on, roll-off cargo. This is noncontainerized cargo that can be rolled onto and off an ocean-going vessel and includes new and used cars and trucks, as well as construction, mining, and agricultural equipment. CSAV has agreed to pay an $8.9 million criminal fine.

Our annual holiday show returns for a third season!
"In the quest for ideal holiday entertainment, Striking 12 strikes gold." –Los Angeles Times
An overworked man who's had enough holiday cheer makes a New Year's Eve resolution: to stay home. On another New Year's Eve, a continent away—and a century earlier—Hans Christian Andersen's Little Match Girl tries unsuccessfully to sell her matches in the snow. The man's winter doldrums disappear when the two stories are brought together. The show springs to life through eclectic new music combining pop-rock, classical, jazz, musical comedy and old-fashioned uplift with a healthy dose of 21st-century skepticism.
By Brendan Milburn, Rachel Sheinkin, and Vallerie Vigoda

The Museum of Modern Art, MoMA Highlights, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, revised 2004, originally published 1999, p. 216
Commenting on The Swimming Pool, his largest cutout, Matisse said, "I have always adored the sea, and now that I can no longer go for a swim, I have surrounded myself with it." Indeed, this nearly fifty-four-foot-long frieze of blue bathers silhouetted against a white rectangular band was designed to adorn the walls of Matisse's dining room at the Hôtel Régina in Nice. At the time of its creation, the artist was restricted to his bed or to a wheelchair, and he conjured this lyrical depiction of the natural world for his personal enjoyment.
Read from right to left, beginning and ending with a representation of a starfish, the contours of the diving or swimming forms eventually dissolve until the blue shapes define the splashing water and the negative white space represents the abstract figures. In a dynamic interplay with the background support, each bather flows rhythmically into the next, sometimes breaking free of the horizontal band in a graceful arabesque. Matisse combines contrasting viewing angles—from above looking down into the water or sideways as if from in the water—so that the different postures of the figures themselves determine the composition as a whole. With this spirited yet serene aquatic imagery, the artist brings to brilliant culmination his career-long desire to create an idealized environment.

Unreal new Tame Impala video from Super-duo Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling!
Yippeeeee two very talented people clubbing together to make a very impressive, grin-inducing video for a really fantastic band! Is there much more you can ask for on a Friday? Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling have created a music video for psychedelic Australian band Tame Impala, but have risen to the challenge and have created one of the most appropriate visual explosions possible. Made entirely out of plasticine, this cosmic trip of a video is an inspiration to all animators and, in fact, anyone who's tackling a tricky brief – things may take a long time and the process may be inconceivably tricky, but the results will be all the more mind-blowing because of it! Becky and Joe deserve a seriously big round of applause.

StarClose SE Vascular Closure System Offers Ergonomic Design
Abbott's StarClose SE Vascular Closure System, a next-generation vessel closure device, is engineered to enable fast and secure closure of the femoral artery access site following a catheterization procedure.
Available in the U.S. and Europe, StarClose SE (safe and extravascular) builds upon the design of its predecessor, StarClose, with more reportedly ergonomically-friendly design features. StarClose SE utilizes the same nitinol (nickel and titanium) clip technology as StarClose to close the femoral artery access site after a catheterization procedure. When deployed, the small nitinol clip grasps the tissue on top of the artery around the access site in a purse-string fashion and closes the opening in the femoral artery rapidly and securely with minimal affect to the lumen diameter or the blood flow inside the vessel.

|Marriage License Frequently Asked Questions
Do both of us have to come to the Clerk's Office to apply for a marriage license?
No, only one person is required to be here. They should bring a valid driver's license or Michigan Identification card showing residency in Macomb County.
Do we have to take a health class, HIV class or blood test?
No, these are no longer requirements by the State of Michigan.
Do we need to bring our birth certificates with us?
No, but all of the required information is on the birth certificate.
Can we get married in your office?
No, you need to contact a wedding chapel in the yellow pages or the district court in the community where you live.
Where can I find a Justice of the Peace?
There is no longer a Justice of the Peace.
Do we have to come back to pick up the marriage license?
Yes, if you applied online; and no, if you applied by fax or mail.
If you used the Online Marriage Application system, you will come to the Macomb County Clerk's office, located in the Court Building, 40 North Main Street, Mount Clemens, MI 48043. The clerk will print your application form, you will sign it, and the clerk will notarize your signature. You must bring your driver's license or state photo identification card. Only the bride or groom needs to attend (both are welcome to do so), but the person who comes must be a Macomb County resident.
If you applied by fax or mail, then no, a marriage license need not be picked up in person. Once the marriage license application form is completed, the County Clerk will mail the marriage license to applicants who request to have their marriage license sent via First-Class U.S. Mail.
A marriage license may still be picked up in person. The most common reason to pick up a marriage license in person is if the license was applied for within ten days of the marriage and there might not be time for the marriage license to be sent via the mail. Only one marriage participant must come back to the County Clerk's Office. That person must bring the receipt given at the time of application. If you misplaced the receipt, your driver's license would be required
It is important at the time you receive your marriage license that you review it to make sure all of the information on the license is typed correctly. If there is an error and you find it after the license is signed by the person performing the marriage ceremony, then a Circuit Court case would have to be opened to make the correction.
How does a spouse change her last name?
You may sign the marriage license with your spouse's last name if that is the name you intend to take after you become married, but in order for it to become legal and valid, you must get your name officially changed with the Secretary of State (1-888-767-6424) and Social Security Administration (1-800-772-1213). These branch offices MAY NOT accept the copy you signed on your wedding day. In order to get a certified copy from our office, submit a request form (located on the other side of this document) and the appropriate fee ($15 for the first copy, $5 for each additional copy), and we will mail you certified copy of your marriage license that you can use at the Social Security Administration and Secretary of State.

The Education Amendments of 1976 require that institutions award federal financial assistance only to those students who, according to institutional standards, are in good standing and making satisfactory progress. The guidelines are established to encourage students to complete courses successfully. At Plymouth State University, students must be in good academic standing and be making satisfactory academic progress in order to be eligible for financial assistance.
Good academic standing (qualitative progress) is defined in the Academic Catalog under Academic Policies and Procedures. All degree candidates must maintain academic standing consistent with PSU's graduation requirements, which is based on a graduated scale (see Academic Catalog) with a 2.0 GPA required for graduation. Continuing students' quantitative progress (credits earned) will be reviewed once a year prior to the award/disbursement of financial aid for the next academic year. Readmitted students' quantitative progress will be reviewed at point of re-entry. Satisfactory Progress, for full-time undergraduate baccalaureate is outlined on the following chart.
|Number of Years Enrolled
|Minimum # of credits student is expected to earn each year
|Accumulated total:
To graduate in four years Bachelor degree students need to earn an average of 15.25 credits per semester for 8 semesters. PSU expects that full-time students are capable of earning more credits in succeeding semesters. For example, we expect the following minimums:
- 1st Semester – 6 Credits
- 2nd – 4th Semesters – 9 Credits
- 5th – 11th Semesters – 12 credits
Summer and Winterim credits earned are included in the annual minimums. Less than full-time enrollment periods will be considered on a pro-rata basis. For an undergraduate program (bachelor degree), the maximum time frame for aid eligibility may not exceed 150 percent of the published length of the educational program (bachelor – six years). Courses transferred from other institutions during the period of matriculation at PSU will be included in the number of credits earned. Transfer students fit into the chart based on the number of credits transferred from a prior institution(s) or based on number of semesters/years if beneficial to student's progress.
Incomplete, withdrawn or repeated courses will be appropriately counted as indicated on the student's academic transcript in determining number of credits earned. Completion of non-credit courses will count in determining satisfactory progress.
Students who are not successfully completing courses at the minimum levels as outlined on the chart are not making satisfactory academic progress. Such students will not receive further financial aid until satisfactory progress status is achieved.
A Financial Aid Officer will inform students by letter regarding non-eligibility for financial aid. If students choose not to appeal, reinstatement for financial aid consideration will occur when students attain the necessary credits on the chart, by earning credits above the semester minimums and/or attending a summer or Winterim session(s).
If there have been mitigating circumstances which have prevented satisfactory progress, a student must complete the steps on the checklist that was mailed to them in order to appeal the decision. These steps include:
1. A typed Letter of Appeal which addresses the following:
- Explain why you did not make satisfactory academic progress
- Explain in detail what changes have occurred (or will occur) that will allow you to make satisfactory academic progress in the future.
- OPTIONAL: Any documentation you feel will support your appeal. You might want to document difficulties you experienced which prevented your progress in the past. Or you might want to document a solution to past troubles. Documentation could be a letter from someone with whom you have been working who can support your appeal letter (Doctor, Counselor, Instructor, Advisor, Minister, etc.) Or documentation could be something to verify a past event (hospital records, accident report, etc.)
2. Online financial literacy at http://mappingyourfuture.org/. Notification will be automatically sent to us once this process is completed.
Once both steps have been completed and required documentation received, the PSU SAP Appeal Committee will review your appeal and a decision will be made within two weeks.
At the time of review, the student's appeal will either be approved to continue financial aid eligibility (normally based on mitigating circumstances with actions required each term aid is awarded) or denied.
If the student's appeal is denied, communications will be provided on how eligibility may be restored. Until satisfactory progress status is met, a student will not have access to any federal, state and PSU aid, including grants, scholarships, loans and/or federal work study employment.

College Basketball Betting Preview: Georgetown Hoyas vs. Syracuse Orange
- Updated: March 10, 2010
Georgetown Hoyas
Syracuse Orange
After two days of bubble-bursting action, two teams that know that they're going to the NCAA Tournament square off in what could be one of the more competitive games of the day when the Syracuse Orange face the Georgetown Hoyas. Syracuse, the top seed in the Big East Tournament, enters this college basketball betting affair against the #8 seed, Georgetown, who dismissed South Florida 69-49 on Wednesday afternoon. Earlier this year, the 'Cuse took out G'Town twice, winning 75-71 in Washington DC and 73-56 at the Carrier Dome.
The good news for Georgetown is that the team is shooting 49.6% from the floor on the season, the fourth best percentage in the nation. The bad news is the team is getting the least production from its bench in the entire country. This is a team that only goes three deep on the bench at best, but F Hollis Thompson, F Jerrelle Benimon, and C Henry Sims are only combining to put up 7.2 points per game. C Greg Monroe battled foul trouble during the entire game against South Florida, but he still scored 16 points and brought in eight boards, proving once again that he is one of the most feared big men in the nation.
The Orange have been waiting at home patiently while 12 other teams in the Big East beat each other up. This is one of the most deadly offenses in the nation, but there's a big question regarding this team's motivation. Last season, the Orange played an epic six overtime game in the Big East Tournament, only to ultimately get bounced in the Big East finale before posting a short run in the NCAA Tournament. HC Jim Boeheim had to learn from that experience. However, this year's team is significantly deeper than the one of '08-'09, as the Cuse have seven players on their squad that are averaging at least 8.3 points per game.
The Hoyas have to feel like they have something to prove in this one. They were swept by the Orange this year and have fallen from the #2 line down to a potential #4 seed. In order to move up from there, that's going to require an upset of the #3 team in the nation. For Syracuse, the #1 seed in the South Region seems like it is a foregone conclusion regardless of what happens in this tournament. With all of that in mind, it's hard to not like catching five points to boot.
Selection: Georgetown Hoyas
The Hoyas are 4-1 ATS in their L/5 neutral site games. Diamond Sportsbook currently has an NCAA basketball betting line of Georgetown +5. Be sure to find all of your March Madness betting lines there for the rest of the regular season and the NCAA Tournament!

We facilitate medical elective placements in Africa for physician assistant students seeking clinical training opportunity. Our physician assistant students get to work closely with a physician in our partner hospitals. Our program strongly complements the didactic component of physician assistant training with hands on experience. The overwhelming demand for healthcare services in Africa coupled with extremely limited resources provides physician assistant students, who choose our program for their elective, with a rare opportunity for significant hands on experience. Our program is suited to meet various kinds of educational requirements such as electives, clinical preceptorship, independent study abroad or internships abroad requirements.
We prefer to place students who have already had several clinical rotations and hence will use our elective placement as an opportunity to bring together the theory learned in the didactic component and the skills learned in clinical rotations.
The benefits of our Physician Assistant program include:
We work with prospective participants to assist with designing their own program if desired but our standard physician assistant elective provides broad hands on experience for students at the tail end of their studies. The program runs between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on elective preference. Students work closely with and under the supervision of a certified physician and are evaluated during and at the end of their placement. Sessions are structured and regularly scheduled, usually in a government community health facility. To get the most out of the program, participants ought to be willing to work some weekends, holidays and night shifts – past participants have found these shifts offer even more learning experience.

When it comes to seating in a classic Mustang, you do have a choice. Did you know that high-back, comfortable, to-die-for '69-'73 Mustang, Cougar, Fairlane, Torino, Montego, Cyclone, Maverick, or Comet bucket seats will bolt right into your classic Mustang? And did you know these seats will also, with only minor modifications to the floorpan, bolt into a Falcon or Comet? This is a super-comfy swap you can live with. We have also seen some evidence that Fox-body Mustang bucket seats will bolt into a '65-'70 Mustang with only minor modifications. We invite your feedback on this one, readers.
A Mount For Your Mount
Did you know the '66-and-up small-block engine frame mount will bolt right into your '65 Mustang, Falcon, or Comet? This mount is a significant improvement over the drop-in, single-pin mount common in '65 and very early '66 Mustangs. The mount shown here isolates engine noise and vibration better. It also allows the engine to sit lower in the chassis.

The Reality Era: What Does It Mean?
by, 09-26-2011 at 02:53 AM (3075 Views)
Hello and welcome to my second-ever blog! Woot.
Okay, let's just get right down to it. CM Punk has coined this the "Reality Era." Now, I'm a huge Punk fan; in fact, he's my favorite Superstar on the roster, for various reasons (I could write about why he's my favorite, but let's save that for another blog). Now I pose my question: Is the Reality Era just a one-time thing, a little comment Punk put in to get the fans riled up? Or is it the actual face-change of the WWE that so many of us have been longing for?
I really don't know - you guys tell me what you think. But here's why I believe he might have been foreshadowing the truth:
1. Change in Leadership
As I'm sure many of you are more than aware now, not much longer than a month after Punk had his fantastic shoot promo, Vince McMahon was succeeded by Triple H as the on-screen COO. Now obviously Vincey-boy is still in the picture behind the scenes, but even so, HHH has more power now in the 'E than anyone before him. And though I've heard rumors of a McMahon comeback, that doesn't mean that Triple H still doesn't have plenty of authority in the back.
2. Change in the Match Content
RAW Supershow is here to replace the old Monday Night RAW. I personally love the change, because having all the Superstars on the same brand allows for some very creative matchups and feuds. Not only that, but Triple H promised to bring back the tag team division, and who did the WWE just acquire? Claudio Castagnoli, one of the hottest indy guys out there. Now I've heard they're also interested in Chris Hero, but don't hold me to that. I really appreciate seeing a tag match every night featuring Air Boom vs whoever (by the way, go back and check out Air Boom vs The Usos from Smackdown 9/23/11. It was epic). They're also starting to push less established stars, like Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan, Mark Henry, and even Sin Cara. That's a blast of fresh air to someone who appreciates the hard work of Cena and Orton, but is tired of watching them do the same thing every night.
3. Change in... Believability?
Mark Henry just became the World Champion. Now to some, this was just a matter of time. But others, me included, were very surprised to see him finally appear as a title contender. If you look back over the last few years with Henry, you'll see a rather uneventful ECW Championship run, followed by a lackluster tag team with MVP, then Evan Bourne, then Yoshi Tatsu, then the Shockmaster, then Mr. T, then Jesus, then your mom, then...
I keed. But seriously, he was basically lost in lower-midcard obscurity, the same fate that many young stars face today (See Trent Baretta, Curt Hawkins, The Usos, Tyler Reks, Drew McIntyre...). But seemingly out of nowhere, he begins breaking the Big Show and Kane, then winning a battle royal, and pinning Orton for the title. Why?
Because it makes sense. Henry's a huge dude that no one on the roster could hope to fight, and the crushing attacks he's given to Orton recently add to that. For the first time in a long, long, [I]long[I] time, Orton is actually the underdog, and people buy it.
Then again, you've got Super Cena winning the big one from Del Rio after a month. Seriously? One month? I really like Cena; his mic skills are superb, his in-ring is decent, the man sells. This is fact. But come on, what's the point of there even being title matches if Cena's just going to win all of them all the time? I think they need to fix this mistake quickly; have Del Rio win the title clean off of Cena at HIAC, and move him onto a different, non-title feud. Maybe help Punk out with the whole "conspiracy" thing? I really don't know. But [I]something[I] to get our minds off of this "Cena is unbeatable" thing.
That's all I got. So what do you think; Reality Era or no? Leave a comment, but please... be gentle. Thanks folks!

THE Royal Mail is proud of its Optical Character Recognition system, which dispenses with the need for fallible human beings to read the addresses on envelopes and parcels.
Within certain limitations, that is. When Feedback recently complained about the late delivery of packets, the Royal Mail blamed the printed labels on them, which the OCR apparently couldn't read. After a considerable amount of difficulty, we finally got the Royal Mail to explain exactly what kind of label the system can handle.
Names and address, we were told, should always be on separate lines and the address must be exactly as it appears in the Royal Mail's database, not how the householder might think it should be.

Under Counter Freezers: Buying Guide
Commercial undercounter freezers are often recognized as the most common freezer units in a commercial kitchen. The under counter height is perfect for work top use such as: cutting, organizing, and storing. Under counter freezer units come in a large array of sizes. Generally, the larger the under counter freezer, the more doors it will have. The doors are great for refrigerated storage. As the name suggests under counter freezers will fit under your counter. Elite Restaurant Equipment has a great selection of under counter freezers. Because undercounter freezers are often needed to fit in tight spaces, be sure to determine the correct size for your business. Under counter freezers generally come in stainless steel exterior and the doors are typically swinging or sliding. Whichever model you may need you are in the right place.
Top Questions:
What Size Do I Need? Before purchasing a under counter freezer be sure to take proper measurements. Important measurements to consider are length, width, and height.
Caster or Legs? Caster also known as, wheels are a great option. Casters allow under counter freezers to be moved easily for duties such as cleaning. Locks on the wheels ensure the unit will not move out of place.

It starts fine. It was NOT starting consistently with the remote starter. The volume knob on the radio and the cruise was working intermittantly. I think it was the alternator putting noise on the bus, (someone poiinted out this possibility above) combined with a weakened/partly discharged battery, made the electronics go wonky.
It remote-started and radio-cruise worked all week, so it was prolly either the alt or the grounds.

15 seconds?
but I would suspect 300 amps for 15 seconds is not unusual
If it takes that long to fire, then the car has other problems.
Posted 29 September 2012 - 05:22 PM
This was an example to demonstrate that there's quite a bit of energy taken out of the battery when starting; usually more than can be put back into the battery in a 15 minute drive. I picked numbers that were reasonable and that I could calculate in my head. Sorry.

The hot stone massage makes use of bellabaci which soothes sore muscles, improves stretch marks, reduces cellulite and spider vein appearance and even reduces the appearance of scars. After the massage, subject your body to an extravagant body polish and enjoy the finer things while sipping on wines, juice or tea and snacking on cheese platters or biltong, dried fruit and nuts. Groupon holders will also receive a 50% discount on any additional treatment done on the day, as well as 50% off your next visit.
Feel-good Fact: A special spa built on the moon's surface was built for astronauts who stayed in outer space for long periods of time. The treatments administered made use of moon-rocks and the therapists were usually people disguised as aliens, just in case of any surprise UFO attacks.

I highly disagree. This is an allright tab, but some of timings are a bit off. For instance the tempo should be slightly faster and in the intro the rests should be quarter note rests, not eight note rests. It makes more sense that way because then the intro riff is 4 bars long instead of 3 which seems kinda odd. At the verse riffs I highly doubt that there should be 3 16:th notes after each other, it would be very hard to time and it sounds off. During the chorus the powerchords are (root notes) 1 - 4 - 3, not 3 - 5 - 4. During the solo, the backing is also wrong.
Oh yeah and this song is in D#, not in E.

Mechanism of Action of Hormones That Act on Nuclear Receptors
Hormones can be divided into two groups on the basis of where they function in a target cell. The first group includes hormones that do not enter cells; instead, they signal by means of second messengers generated by interactions with receptors at the cell surface. All polypeptide hormones (e.g., growth hormone), monoamines (e.g., serotonin), and prostaglandins (e.g., prostaglandin E2), use cell surface receptors (see Chapter 5). The second group, the focus of this chapter, includes hormones that can enter cells. These hormones bind to intracellular receptors that function in the nucleus of the target cell to regulate gene expression. Classic hormones that use intracellular receptors include thyroid and steroid hormones.
Hormones serve as a major form of communication between different organs and tissues. They allow specialized cells in complex organisms to respond in a coordinated manner to changes in the internal and external environments. Classic endocrine hormones are secreted by endocrine glands and are distributed throughout the body through the bloodstream. These hormones were discovered by purifying the biologically active substances from clearly definable glands.
Numerous other signaling molecules share with thyroid and steroid hormones the ability to function in the nucleus to convey intercellular and environmental signals. Not all of these molecules are produced in glandular tissues. Although some signaling molecules, such as classic endocrine hormones, arrive at target tissues through the bloodstream, others have paracrine functions (i.e., acting on adjacent cells) or autocrine functions (i.e., acting on the cell of origin).
In addition to the classic steroid and thyroid hormones, lipophilic signaling molecules that use nuclear receptors include derivatives of vitamins A and D, endogenous metabolites such as oxysterols and bile acids, and non-natural chemicals encountere
d in the environment (i.e., xenobiotics). These molecules are referred to as nuclear receptor ligands. The nuclear receptors for all of these signaling molecules are structurally related and are collectively referred to as the nuclear receptor superfamily.1-3 The study of these receptors is a rapidly evolving field, and more detailed information can be obtained by visiting
the Nuclear Receptor Signaling Atlas web site (http://www.nursa.org [accessed September 2010]).

Precursors of vitamin D are synthesized and stored

Vitamin D is then converted in the liver to 25(OH)D (25-hydroxyvitamin D, calcidiol) and in the kidney to 1,25(OH)2 D3 (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, calcitriol), the most potent natural ligand of the vitamin D receptor (VDR).
