text: Though using outdated manual systems can hinder achieving maximum accountability, compliance, and transparency, many higher education institutions are still using such systems to track time and attendance for their workforce. Introducing an automated workforce management system instead can increase efficiency and maximize productivity and funds. This web seminar, originally broadcast on December 4, 2012, featured the University of Georgia, which realized many benefits after implementing a campuswide automated workforce management system.

So excited today to share a tour of a house oozing with vintage charm and character in Oakland, California. Homeowner, Laura, is a studio floral designer, friend, and sometimes my boss when she hires me to help during wedding season.
Come on in!
She has also been a long-time collector of globes and vintage cameras.
Just off the dining room is the living room.
And here we are looking back into the dining room again.
On Friday, I'll show pictures of the rest of Laura's house. Hope you've enjoyed part 1 of the tour, and be sure to check out Laura's website to see photos of the stunning floral work she creates for weddings.

The court-appointed receiver of all of the frozen assets of Compass Academy has concluded it is not feasible to get the school up and running for the 2013-2014 school year and has been given approval to market and list the buildings and property of the school.
Some of the school's investors, however, have plans to try and purchase the building and "continue its vision."
Columbia-based attorney Sherri Lydon, a former federal and state prosecutor, was selected by Circuit Court Judge Clarence Newman as the receiver of all frozen assets belonging to Compass Academy, Jonathan "Jay" Brooks, Tracy Brooks and related companies. At the top of Lydon's list was to see if the school had clear funds to be able to open for the coming school year.
"Conducting an investigation into the feasibility of completing the construction of Compass Academy and beginning classes for the 2013-2014 school year is to be a high priority of the receiver," Newman wrote.
Lydon declined an interview for this story; however, on her law firm's website, she writes that Newman scheduled a hearing last Monday on her recommendation "to market and list the building and property" of Compass Academy.
According to Stan Jackson, an attorney for Compass Academy, it was the estimated cost to finish construction and dwindling enrollment numbers that led to Lydon's conclusion.
Jackson said Lydon's report was filed "under seal" and that he has yet to see a copy of it that he requested.
"The investors were allowed to be heard," Jackson said of Monday's hearing. "They wanted time in which to put together a group and maybe form another company in which to continue the school and continue its vision, thereby protect their investments. ... The response of the receiver was, before we can sell the school, we'd have to have another hearing to have any offer approved by the court."
Aiken resident Jerry Rowe was the first investor to speak at Monday's hearing. He said he was not surprised by Lydon's findings.
"We agreed on that at the beginning of May – that there was no way the money was going to be raised to finish the school, have it open and get an enrollment for May of this year," he told the Aiken Standard. "There's just no way that could take place, so we were definitely in agreement."
Rowe said enrollment hinges on the school's completion.
"The enrollment has gone by the wayside steadily since March and will continue to zero before August," he said. "But that doesn't mean it can't come back next year."
Rowe said he and the other investors asked the judge for time to assemble a group now that Lydon's report is in.
"We were asking for some time for us to form an LLC (limited liability corporation) to get a recognizable group and be able to come back with the plan of purchasing the school and opening the school for August 2014," he said.
That group is now in the works.
"He said we have some time to get ourselves together and make a formidable bid of rate building," Rowe said. "The building will not be sold until he says it's sold."
Rowe said the group is "very confident" about assembling and continuing the vision of Compass.
"Some of us are firm believers that the area wants more choices for education, and there's some parents who would love to be using it, and it certainly is worth the work to give it the best try we could possibly give it," he said.
Jay Brooks, his wife Tracy, and Jay Brooks' companies, J. Brooks Financial and Brooks Real Estate Holdings, are accused of illegally selling unregistered securities to fund the establishment of Compass Academy. They also are accused by the Securities Division of the Attorney General's Office of using those funds to buy groceries, their house, vacations and jewelry rather than investing them.
Rowe said that as soon as the building is sold, regardless of who purchases it, "the Brookses will be out of it."
Jackson said if the building is sold, it is "very unlikely" the investors would receive any money from the sale. "It's pretty much a single-purpose building, and any change in that purpose would require a substantial investment in retrofit," he said.
Jackson also said he made a motion during Monday's hearing to be relieved as counsel for Compass Academy. The judge indicated he would execute an order relieving Jackson if there was no objection filed by the receiver after a 10-day period.
"I do not want to incur additional costs at the cost of Compass Academy and its future ... when those needed funds would be going to the completion of the school and the education of the students who want to attend," he said.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Season 3 Episode 9: First 2 Minutes Are Very Bad For Daryl
Dammit, Merle. This has to be some kind of ruse. AMC just aired the first two minutes of The Walking Dead Season 3, Episode 9, "The Suicide King," during the Season 1 marathon airing on February 3. It is, as expected, an extended version of the Woodbury fight club pit. The Governor (David Morrissey) tells Merle (Michael Rooker) to prove where his loyalties lie, initiating a fight to the death between Merle and Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus). The crowd cheers for Merle, who says they all know him. He's gonna do whatever he's gotta do to prove his loyalty to the town. He punches his brother and kicks him to emphasize his Team Woodbury stance. The first two minutes end with the sadists bringing out a live walker. Andrea wants this all to end, but ... will she be able to stop it?

Review: 'Madden NFL 25′ amazes againWritten by Michael Siebenaler | | email@example.com
In "Madden NFL 25," Electronic Arts (EA) amazes again with extensive gameplay modes, a new owner's mode, new content sharing options, and improved graphics/mechanics in several available formats. The title commemorates the 25th version of the game since the groundbreaking 11-on-11 for the Apple II computer and later the PC and game consoles. The "Madden NFL" games series is also known as the NFL's "33rd Franchise" due to the authentic gameplay, Barry Sanders edged out Adrian Peterson for his appearance on the cover. "Madden NFL 25″ is currently on PlayStation 3, covered in this review, and Xbox 360 with a special anniversary edition also available on both (includes unlock codes for DirecTV's NFL Sunday Ticket services through the TV or on computers, tablets, and mobile devices – depends on service availability).
This review covers the standard PlayStation 3 version, which includes the new owner game mode where players manage one of the 32 professional football franchises. Day-to-day operations in the role-playing mode of the owner cover high profiles tasks like choosing a new stadium to increasing the fan base or even setting concession prices. The online game modes let players enjoy gameplay with others as a player, coach or owner. The new Madden Share feature allows sharing of the content roster and playbooks plus players can also save and share highlights (up to 10) of their most memorable plays.
The Infinity Engine 2 graphics experience is sharp while the all-new force impact system yields more realistic hits and many entertaining actions. The new stumble recovery feature even gives players the chance to fight for extra yards after a big hit. The defensive features help players get back into a play after missing a tackle.
The Ultimate Teams are an important element, but it a good idea to know how each special player fits into your playing own style before finalizing a team because team chemistry factors into the success. The anniversary editions include special player packs for every regular season week (17). Ultimate team items will carry over to the upcoming PlayStation 4 and Xbox One editions (on launch date).
Be sure to try the skill trainer for practicing and mastering the run free option, which feature 30 new moves and special combination moves to impress and defeat the competition. Published by EA and developed by EA Tiburon, "Madden NFL 25″ celebrates professional football in every possible way with players receiving the gift of seemingly endless experiences, customization, and options (****, rated E for everyone). Other available versions on iPhone and iPad with a Google Play version coming soon.

It can be an interesting shade to use, because of both its brightness and the frostiness of its finish, so using a light touch with it may be best. Maybelline Too Cool is a bit cooler-toned. theBalm Sassy is a bit more frosted. Bare Escentuals Cheers is very close. Inglot #453 is more metallic.

This fantastic bracelet will "wow" everyone as soon as you walk in the room! Made of sterling silver links of alternating large and small circles, the five large circles are frames holding five large pieces of genuine iridescent ancient Roman glass.
Roman Glass comes in hues of blue.
Note: To preserve patina do not allow glass to come in contact with water.
Roman Glass Jewelry brings you to the magic and mystery of this historic period. Combined with sterling silver, this unique piece of jewelry is inlaid with a fragment of ancient glass, discovered in archaeological excavation sites in the Holy Land.
These sites date back to the period of the Romans almost 2000 years ago. Glass, once a rarity, found only in the homes of royalty and the wealthy became a common household object used for everyday items such as plates, bowels and jars.
Israel is one of the few locations in the world in which a series of geological and climatic phenomena coincide enabling the formation and preservation of the strikingly colorful glass. Almost two thousand years of conflict with mineral rich soil and oxidation combine to form this precious glass.
Formations of layers resemble Opal and are called Patina, giving the exquisite surface coloring, which varies depending on the minerals to which the glass has been exposed.
These jewelry pieces make great gifts for your friends, family and yourself.

ok for the money The bowls are pretty, just the right size and microwave safe, however they chip way too easily. Out of my six bowls I've bought about seven months ago six are chipped, some pretty severely. If only it didn't chip I would recommend it. September 8, 2010

Theresa Caputo Information
Theresa Caputo is a loving wife and mother, but that is not all she is. Since the age of four, she has seen and felt things differently than the rest of us. After learning how to embrace and interpret her gift of tuning into the supernatural, she began using her gifts to help people make contact with those who have passed on. In her TLC show, Long Island Medium, she conducts readings for individuals and groups of both believers and skeptics. Her husband Larry and two children, Victoria and Larry Jr., have learned to live with her unusual gift, but she maintains that it is a challenge to try to live a normal life when she can not control when she feels spirits around her.
As with any spiritual medium, Caputo has her critics. In fact, The James Randi Education Foundation recognized her with a Pigasus Award on April Fools Day 2012 for being the performer who fooled the most people into believing in psychic abilities in the previous year. But despite the skeptics, she has attracted millions of viewers with her program, both for her supernatural gifts and for her charismatic family.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk; (19 May 1881 - 10 November 1938) was a Turkish army officer, reformist statesman, and the first President of Turkey. He is credited with being the founder of the Republic of Turkey. His surname, Ataturk (meaning "Father of the Turks"), was granted to him in 1934 and forbidden to any other person by the Turkish parliament.
Ataturk was a military officer during World War I. Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, he led the Turkish National Movement in the Turkish War of Independence. Having established a provisional government in Ankara, he defeated the forces sent by the Allies. His military campaigns led to victory in the Turkish War of Independence. Ataturk then embarked upon a program of political, economic, and cultural reforms, seeking to transform the former Ottoman Empire into a modern, secular, and democratic nation-state. Under his leadership, thousands of new schools were built, primary education was made free and compulsory, and women were given equal civil and political rights, while the burden of taxation on peasants was reduced. The principles of Ataturk's reforms, upon which modern Turkey was established, are referred to as Kemalism.

Welcome to "Grays Going Back", a family history site about descendants and ancestors of Nathan Munson [or Monson] Gray. Although my current research focus is the life and times of J. K. Gray, the site also contains information about Ellis, Howard, Kepford, and Childress/Childers families. Site manager is Tom Gray email me.
Recently I combined the Millet Cemetery section of the Alberta Genealogy Society's Cemetery Project with the Town of Millet Cemetery Index and uploaded them to Find a Grave. Many Gray family members are buried there. Check it out, and feel free to correct or add information and photos.
Larry Haynes has posted a number of new photos over at Jenny's site. Be sure to check them out, and tag the people in the photos.
If you're a MyHeritage user, you'll like the new Record Matches feature that lets you extract data into all family members. It's still clunky, but it's better than it was. Read my review.
Have been spending most of my family history time organizing family letters and papers, and writing a biography of John Kepford Gray. This project will incorporate all of the research I've done since the 1970s, will be fully illustrated and annotated. I'm doing it offline and will probably offer it as an eBook when finished. Any member who'd like to see a rough draft is welcome to contact me. In the meantime, see my blog.
Munson or Monson? We've always taken our line from Nathan Munson Gray. But recent evidence suggests that the name may have been MONSON.
Check out these articles:
The site was last updated on Aug 2 2015, and it currently has 69 registered member(s).
If you wish to become a member too, please click here. Enjoy!
Gray ancestors were early settlers in Millet, Alberta, Canada at the start of the 20th century, beginning with JK Gray who received a land grant in 1904.
Check out Millet Through 100 Years for a review of the area and time. Look at Stories (top right in the menu). Many of the images concern Gray family members.
Thanks to Evelyn Lawrence Bell for tipping me off to this!
The oldest direct ancestor that we can confirm is Nathan Munson Gray. We have reasonable confidence that NM is descended from James Gray and William Penn Gray. You can look these fellows up in the family tree part of the site.
A surprising number of family tree web sites say that Wm. Penn's parents were John Gray and Jennet (or Jannet) Greer. A report that we got back in the 1970s read, "We believe his parents to have been John Gray and his wife, Jennett, who came from Pennsylvania and settled in Greenbrier County, VA in 1780." I don't know the source of that report; we got it from a Martha Courtney of Missouri, but I'm not certain that she wrote it.
You'll still find John & Jannet in my site, but they're not connected to anybody in my direct line right now. Why?
Family history sites borrow information freely from one another -- the software at ancestry.com and myheritage.com actually encourages that -- but most folks are doing this for fun, and I suspect that not a lot of research is involved. So a lot of errors get copied over and over and over. (Incorrect dates for Nathan Munson's death are a good example).
I was recently given information from a book called The Gray Family and Allied Lines by Jo Linn White & Gordon Gray. Thanks to researcher Kenneth Higgins, who passed that info on. This book shows that
The birth and death dates, spouses, and places of residence for the two men are totally different. And I can find census data and other records for both.
So how on earth could anybody believe that William Penn's parents were John and Jannet Greer? I think that at one point, somebody made a mistake. And everybody else simply accepted it without bothering to check.
And they told two sites, and they told two sites, and so on, and so on, an so on....
Let's consider a man named John H. Gray. Rather, let's consider several of them.
All of these John H Grays were hanging around Noble County, especially the Wolf Lake area, so the chances are that they're related somehow.
But how?
If ever a family were haunted by tragedy, it is the family of "Elder" David Gray and Susan Ann Diffendarfer.
They married on 9 Feb, 1843 in Allen, Indiana and set out to raise a family and make a living farming in Noble County, Indiana. He was 23, she 19.
Indiana census, birth, death, and cemetery records tell a sad story. First, the census:
By 1850, within the first seven years of their marriage, David and Susan have lost four children (Henry, Harriet, Philander, and Wm. Benjamin), and were to lose John D that fall. Living with the family is David's mom Alcy (Alse, Elsey), his father William Penn having died four years before the census.By 1860, the grave has taken Bertus, Sarah Jane, Luella, Celestia, and Warren. James, Louisa, and Cecelia are new names in the census (At this point, in the absence of confirmed death records, it's conceivable some names overlap)
In the 1870 census, we note the absence of David (d. 1865) and Cecelia. Owen James and Priscilla (Silla) remain with Susan. George at 23 might have moved away; we find him married in 1875. Mary at 20 would probably be married.
Now some data from birth, death, cemetery, and marriage records as well as obituaries from the time. Children known or suspected to have died before age 16 are in bold.
Of fifteen confirmed children, only four are known to have survived past adolescence.
Today, infant/child mortality is relatively rare but David and Susan buried at least eleven small caskets.
Byron Perry Gray was born 27 Feb, 1844, the son of Stedman Gray and Sophronia Leach. Perry was a merchant in the dry goods business with his father and his cousin William Dyer Gray in Noble, Indiana.
Various records show B.P. with four different named wives.
Perry's first wife was Sarah, as indicated on the 1870 census where we find Byron P, 23, merchant, and Sarah, 18, keeping house. This marriage is confirmed in the Marriage Records for Noble County which lists a marriage on 7 Nov, 1867 between Byron P. Gray and Sarah C. Matthews.
It was a short and tragic marriage; Sarah died in 1871, nine months after the birth of their son Anson (possibly in childbirth?) followed by the death of baby Anson in 1872.
The second wife was a Mary E, who shows up on the 1880 census. Perry Gray, age 36, Mary E, age 36 and daughter Hazel, age 3 are listed next door to Stedman and William D. Hazel would have been born around 1877 (actually 19 Aug 1876), and the marriage to Mary E likely took place around 1875.
Next up is a Nelly May Coutts. She's listed in at Family Central, with the birth of twin sons in 1875 suggesting a marriage around 1874. That's awfully close to the 1875 date for Mary E. Another tragedy?
But wait! The Marriage Records for Noble County list a marriage between Byron Gray and Nelly M. Pool on 16 May 1874. Well, that corresponds to what Family Central has, though how they got the name Coutts is unclear. What is clear is that Bryron married at least one Nellie M!
The wife list now reads
Probably Nellie May Coutts and Nelly M Pool are the same individual. I could find no marriage listed between Mary E and Byron. When Hazel married Arthur Graves, the record gives her father as Byron P Gray and her mother as Nellie Pool, not Mary E. Could it be that Mary E was also known as Nellie?
Seems likely. And that would mean that Byron Perry had only two wives, not four.
I've often wondered if I'm related to famous American electrical engineer and inventor Elisha Gray, born in Ohio in 1835. It's possible. It may even be plausible. Can the relationship be proven?
We do have an Elisha in our tree (#274, born around 1832, son of Hamilton Gray and Mary Jane Meek). Hamilton and Jane were in Pike County, Illinois in 1850, along with Elisha, 18 [b. 1832] ; James, 15; John, 10; Leander, 9; Mary, 8; and William, 5.
Ten years later, the 1860 census shows the family still in Pike. The older boys, James and Elisha, have moved out (and William is no longer listed - deceased?)
That same census shows an Elisha Gray in Oberlin, Lorain County, Ohio, where he is listed as a student, age 24 [b. 1836], one of six in what appears to be a boarding house run by Delia A. Sheppard, 49.Now, inventor Elisha Gray (check him on Wikipedia) attended Oberlin Collegiate and married Delia Minerva Shepard. Now, it looks pretty likely that this census record is for "the" Elisha -- but is that also "our" Elisha?
But for now, it sure is intriguing.
MyHeritage links up various family trees with SmartMatch, but as I review the matches I'm finding the same errors repeated again and again.
The SM doesn't often contain sources, so I'm always asking family tree managers, "Where did you get that information?"Too often, the answer is "From somebody else's tree".
Partly this is because many (most?) amateur online genealogists are not familiar with basic standards of research and reporting.
"While I do not wish to discourage researchers from working together, I fear that if we do not try to return to those standards, we will find that the information we share online can't be trusted. If this happens, it will make it almost impossible to use the Internet as a research tool," wrote professional genealogist Rhonda R McClure in 2002. The Internet is a decade older and the mess she foresaw has come about, at least for published family trees.
Even so-called professional sites contain errors. Here's an example. FamilyCentral is a professional site that charges money for research. For a free signup, you can check some samples. For example, Google "William Penn Gray Familycentral" (without the quotes).
Note #8 Thomas Gray (1818-1911) whose wife is given as Sarah HOUSTON. Actually, it's HOUSER, as you can easily tell when you check one of their own sources -- Cemetery Records of Noble County, Indiana, 977.276 V22d -- which plainly says, "Sarah Houser, his wife".
Many Grays and their kin settled at Millet, Alberta in the early 1900s.
This year, the Millet Museum has selected Enola Lee Gray (wife of William Leonard Gray) to honor as a pioneer woman of significance.
Museum staff are asking for any photos we might have of her and her family plus memorabilia such as personal items for the display such as diaries, jewellery, etc. There will be a poster display and video produced to run by the poster.
If you have any such items, please click here to contact me.

Arizona Cardinals
Who's struggling: Cardinals or just the QBs?
With the Big Red going to the Big Apple, Paulie Pigskin would like to acknowledge the best known New York Jet player of 'em all. That's right, in honor of Broadway Joe Namath's (in)famous sound bite on Monday Night - "team strugggling" - we've been thinnnking.
But first, let's hit 'zoom out' on our hand held devices because this is a big picture question that we've been chewing on since, well...before the Thanksgiving leftovers. Actually, ever since the ribs of Kevin Kolb were torn asunder like a wishbone.
Are the Arizona Cardinals a team that is struggling? Or are the Cards an NFL team that is struggling at quarterback?
Team struggling? Or a team struggling at the QB position?
Either way, you wind up in the same landing spot - below sea level in the standings. Both scenarios are akin to driving on bald tires in a rainstorm. Eventually, you'll find yourself in a full-blown power slide and looking at the road ahead through your side windows.
The difference comes when the skid (seven games) grinds to a halt. How do you put that car back on the road? Do you ever get behind the wheel of that car again?
Because if your entire team is struggling, then you're rebuilding ("Fire in the Hole!")
However, if it's the QB position that's struggling, then you're either recruiting ("Hey, uh, Peyton, can we buy you dinner?") or commencing with research and reconnaissance (Matt Barkley?)
Wait, hit 'zoom out' again. New question -- how many franchises succeed without a winning QB? We're not saying a Pro Bowl or Hall of Fame QB. We're not even saying a bona fide franchise signal caller.
No, we're talking about a "winning" QB. How does Paulie Pigskin Inc. define that? Simple. A quarterback that doesn't lose football games, capisce?! (All apologies�a pair of interceptions returned for touchdowns in a game lost by exactly 14 points still has us a rootin' & a tootin'.)
In fact, following Sunday, did you happen to catch this Holy Cannoli Stat? In 33 drives since the injury, they've "punted 17 times, lost seven fumbles, thrown four interceptions and had one possession end on downs. It scored two touchdowns and two field goals."
What's more, the QB rating was "38.7...thanks, largely, to three second-half interceptions" in a loss to a 3-8 team.
The above stats come from the Cards loss to the Rams, right? #Buzzer.
That's a blurb lifted from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette this week, detailing the Steelers offensive woes since the rib injury to Ben Roethlisberger, including the Steelers heinous loss to the Browns (3-8).
And something tells us that if you examined the Bears minus Jay Cutler, the numbers would not be flattering.
In other words, NFL teams are best served to remember: don't throw the entire roster out with the QB bath water.

Apple airs new iPad mini commercials, highlights Books and Photos
Apple has released a pair of new iPad mini commercials, Books and Photos. Like the previous Piano commercial, they start off with both the full-sized iPad and the iPad mini side-by-side, both showcasing the same app. Then fingers take turns, alternately at first, then in coordination, choosing different books and photos, respectively.
Books is a little odd in that Apple stuck to plain, black and white novels instead of showing their full range of text books, picture books, comic books, and more. Apple is still ahead of Amazon and the Kindle when it comes to the power of their books format, and the quality of their visuals, so making that part of the pitch would have made sense. Sticking to novels may give the illusion of catalog and ereader parity with Amazon, but it keeps the fight on Amazon's terms.
Also, Books and Photos, wisely, keeps things at a distance so it's hard to see the difference in quality between the Retina iPad 4 and the non-Retina iPad mini. Because of the way the human brain works, Photos are more forgiving of lower resolution than text, but why take chances?
Whether or not that's a fair representation of the differences between both products is another story.

Apple airs new iPad mini commercials, highlights Books and Photos
Great choice in music on the Photos ad, but I have a question:
Are they trying to make the iPad Mini look better than the larger version, or make them somewhat equals? I don't like how they are ending each ad focusing on the Mini (although I understand it is specifically a Mini commercial)
Because the images are two parts of a whole, this ad says that neither iPad can "fit" the whole image. I don't think that's a good line to take.
What app is being used in the photo advert? My Photos app does not look like that and I cannot bring up a list of thumbnails with a swipe in from the left...
That's a great question. I can't get my photos app to behave like that either.
I was wondering the same thing...

For 30 years, in some way or another, she has been rescuing the needy four-footed furry canines and felines. After spending her college years going to school for nursing, getting her degree and working as an RN, it hit her one day that she was not where her heart was.
Driving back South one evening after doing her own work of bringing rescues up to Maine, she heard about a Connecticut company that has an odd mission – spaying and neutering animals in a wayfaring van that traveled from town to town.
She thought it sounded too good, but two days later after calling Fido Fixers and finding out it not only sounded but is good, she was able to attain a van and hit the road, finally feeling at home and at heart.

Special Discounted Rates Offered for Summer 2015!
IU Trustees have decided to offer a 25% discount on In-State Undergraduate Tuition for the Summer 2015 Semester. Out-of-State Undergraduate Tuition will be discounted the same dollar value as the In-State Undergraduate Tuition. All of the Summer 2015 rates are posted in 2014-2015 Tuition and Fees.
Summer 2015 Students can charge their books
Students wishing to charge up to $650.00 of their school books to their bursar accounts can do so if they register before May 24th. On the Optional Fees page, click on the Book Allowance fee button. This will add the $650.00 of book allowance fee to your bursar account. At the end of May, when the Bursar's Office receives the charge file from the campus Barnes & Noble Bookstore, the $650.00 fee will be waived and your actual charge amount will be posted to your bursar account.
If you plan to use excess financial aid to pay your book charge, you must have a Title lV Authorization on file on your OneStart account.
- Go to OneStart and log in
- Go to:Services & Information>Student Authorizations>Grant Authorizations>South Bend Campus>Title lV Authorization
- Read the Authorization
- Select Next
- Click on the box stating that you have read the Authorization
- Click Submit
If you choose the book allowance fee, but your total comes to more than $650.00, you must provide a credit/debit card number on the Barnes & Noble website. Your order will not be processed without it.
The Bookstore will begin processing orders on 05.11.15. The last day to use your charge option is 05.26.15. Students registering in Summer II only who want to charge their books must register before 05.24.15, must choose the optional fee for books, and must complete their transaction with Barnes and Noble by 05.26.15.
Welcome to IU South Bend's Office of the Bursar web site. The Office of the Bursar, located in the Administration Building, is responsible for the timely dissemination of accurate information relating to a student's bursar account. We interact daily with students, parents, faculty, staff, and administrators as well as with outside agencies. It is our goal to provide outstanding customer service while maintaining a high level of integrity, honesty and professional ethics.
The Office of the Bursar also acts as a clearing house for student charges and credits, in addition to processing payments, credits, charges and refunds. This office monitors student accounts and generates monthly electronic bills (e-bills).
Attention New IU South Bend Students
IU South Bend must comply with federal regulations for disbursement of Title IV financial aid (Stafford Loan, Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, Graduate PLUS Loan, Parent PLUS Loan, etc.). Without a signed Authorization, Title IV aid can be applied only to certain charges(tuition, mandatory fee, course-related fees, program fees, contracted housing charge). With a signed Authorization, Title IV aid can be applied to all IU charges (Health Center charges, parking permits, library fines, optional fees, etc). Even with a signed Authorization, current academic year (fall and spring terms) Title IV aid cannot pay more than $200 of any prior year charges.
If you wish to sign an Authorization and ensure the most inclusive use of your federal aid, you may do so on OneStart Self-Service by following these steps:
- Go to OneStart and login
- Go to: Services & Information, Financial > Student Authorizations> Grant Authorizations > South Bend Campus - Title IV Authorization
- Read the Authorization
- Select Next.
- Click on the box stating you have read the Authorization.
- Click Submit
Even if you have no Title IV aid for Spring 2014, we encourage you to review the Authorization and consider signing it now. You might need Title IV aid for the future semester and if you do, you will already have the Authorization in place - once you sign it, it stays in effect for your IU South Bend career unless you revoke it.
If you have a balance which becomes past due, it is subject to a monthly late fee and it may prevent you from registering for a future term until the balance is paid. In addition, your ability to obtain a transcript, verification of enrollment, or diploma is restricted while your account is encumbered. Please remember to check your monthly e-bill in OneStart and pay any balance owed by the due date to prevent late fees from accruing and your IU services being stopped.

"You really get to interact with the players. There's a level of familiarity too. A lot of these fans, the players recognize them, and they already have a rapport."
The auction items include several autographed game-worn jerseys, the chance to enjoy lunch with CLIMIE and MISKOVIC, and the chance to win a hockey, dinner, and beer package deal. Fans also can participate in the Fundraiser's new interactive game hosted by BAUMGARTNER, which includes such prizes as autographed pucks and player cards.
Seats are available for fans at least 21 years of age and can be reserved for a $45 donation by calling 1-800-THE-WOLVES. Proceeds from the event benefit Chicago Wolves Charities, which works with more than a dozen Illinois-based charities.

The Habsburg Staterooms
The 21 Habsburg Staterooms are spread out over two floors of the Albertina palace.
The magnificent Hall of the Muses forms the centrepiece, flanked on either side by stately apartments.
The palaces original Louis XVI décor had been ordered from the royal court ateliers in Paris and Versailles for Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschens Brussels residence, Laeken Castle.
In 1822, Archduke Carl had the interiors redone in Empire style, commissioning the Viennese furniture manufacturer Joseph Danhauser (1780-1829) to refurbish the entire palace with fine furniture and elaborately inlaid parquet floors. Of the décor from the second half of the 19th century when the palace belonged to Archduke Albrecht, only the Rococo Room survives. The Spanish Apartments were created under Albrechts nephew and heir, Archduke Friedrich. This was the only permanent residence of the Spanish royal family outside Spanish territory. When the palace was expropriated by the new Austrian state in 1919, Friedrich was permitted to take all its furnishings with him into exile in Hungary. The now empty apartments were converted into a study hall, a library, exhibition rooms, depots and office space.
In 2000, work began on the comprehensive restoration of the staterooms. The return of the original furniture was secured through successive acquisitions as well as loans from the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art (MAK) and the Federal Furniture Depots Imperial Furniture Collection. International specialists took part in the restoration work, which was largely concluded by 2007. After decades of neglect, today the lavish period interiors transport the visitor back in time, evoking the age of Neoclassicism and the private and ceremonial lives of the Habsburgs who lived in the palace.
The Study and the Gold Cabinet
The "Tee" Salon and the "Billard" Room
The Reception Room and the Audience Hall
The Oval Cabinet and Death Chamber of Archduke Carl
Please understand that for conservation reasons access to the staterooms may be limited in bad weather, and that parts of the premises may be closed to the public in the case of special events.

And it has been a long time coming, Lombards entrance to the UFC. He was originally slated to face one of the top UFC fighters, Karo Parisyan, in 2005. Due to visa issues, however, Lombard was unable to compete.
Yeah people forgot about that, Lombard said. People always say [about me], Bellator fighter I was supposed to fight in the UFC like in 2005. If people do the math its 8 years. 8 years ago, I was supposed to fight for the UFC, but because of visa issues, I couldnt fight. But UFC had its eye on me a while ago. I dont know sometimes the people what they talk about, to be honest. In 2005, I was supposed to be fighting in the UFC. Unfortunately it didnt happen, and 8 years after that, Im fighting in the place that I always wanted to fight.
Of course, eight years and some 30 plus fights later, Lombard has made it to the UFC. But the UFC has proven to be a bumpy road for Hector Lombard. Few fighters garnered the sort of attention that Lombard did coming into the UFC; and with countless people watching as he debuted against Tim Boetsch at UFC 149, many MMA fans were left wondering what the hype was about. Following the split-decision loss to Boetsch, Lombard would go on to defeat Rousimar Palhares with a devastating first-round KO, but he would then go on to lose a decision to Yushin Okami.
That loss prompted Lombard to drop from middleweight to the 170-lb. limit at welterweight. The result was a first-round knockout over his first welterweight opponent in former Strikeforce champion, Nate Marquardt, earlier this month at UFC 166.
About that fight, Lombard said he felt good with his performance, especially given the pressure that his 1-2 record up to that point had him possibly fighting for his job.
I mean, it feels good and Im quite happy to do my job in the UFC, Lombard told BJPenn.com Radio. Im not too sure, but I would have [been cut] maybe. I want to stay in the UFC for a long time, you know, and I want to keep fighting and entertain[ing] my fans.
Leading up to the fight, there were reports that Lombard had been struggling to make the drop to 170 lbs. Lombard said that, although it was difficult, he felt motivated by peoples doubts.
It was really hard, you know, but every single time I suffer, when I feel tired, when I feel I couldnt make it, I would go to the computer, and I would check all the people talking bad about me, and I would get the motivation to fill me up and keep going. So Im quite happy that people doubted me, it keeps me motivated and keeps me in the place that I want to be.
By defeating Marquardt, Lombard certainly entered the welterweight division with a substantial splash. As far as who is next for the Cuban-Australian fighter, he has his sights set on someone who can bring him up into the top of the division.
I think that Carlos Condit is high ranked, right? OK, Ill take Carlos Condit, Lombard had said during the interview about the UFCs No. 2 ranked contender. Lombard also said that he would be willing to fight Condits most recent opponent, Martin Kampmann, who is currently ranked 7th.
As far as sizing himself against the divisions long-time champion, Georges St-Pierre, Lombard had some reservations.
I dont want to talk about that, Lombard said, because, you know, I have a long time to get there. I want to get one of those guys [Condit or Kampmann] first.
Of course, if Lombard is able to continue the momentum he has found at welterweight, he could be fighting his way into the divisions top ten sooner than later.
For Lombard, the success he has found inside the cage comes from his style of fighting; and despite his extensive background in judo, Lombard prefers to fight on the feet. He says its more exciting.
My style of fighting has nothing to do with judo. I love judo, and Im always going to love judo, and Im always gonna be calling myself a judo player. I trained that sport for seven years. I went everywhere in judo, and I competed at the highest level. But, I dont use judo at all. I knock people out. I like to be exciting. That was my goal a long time ago, I want to be exciting, and I want the people to want to watch me fight. Unfortunately judo is not as exciting as MMA. So I tried to develop a style where [people] would come see me fight. So I started training stand-up, and I got myself an instructor. Thats how I like to fight, I dont like to grapple. I like to stand up. If somebody has to get KOs, somebody has to go out.
As for how he a man who entered this sport with a background in grappling has been able to find the power to score 19 professional KOs, Lombard says it comes from relentless training of strength and power.
I think I was like training and develop[ing] my strength and my power, you know, its like Ronday Rousey, Lombard said, citing fellow judoka and the UFC womens bantamweight champion. She lifts bodies all her life, you get to the point when youre stronger than everyone else. Shes done it for so many years that it gets to the point shes like four times stronger than all the guys shes gonna face. And that is because shes been training longer and harder than every single other [person]. Put it this way, shes been training since she was five, or whatever, lifting bodies and training hard three or four times a day. Theres no way any other women can claim that. So I tried to kind of like a lot more in striking all the time, punching the bag and doing those things more striking than anything else to develop that strength, that power.
As far as whats next for Lombard, he said that unfortunately he wont be on the UFCs return to Australia this December. The UFC brass told him that the card was already full. But he will be returning to the Octagon soon, saying that he doesnt like to sit around and relax.
I believe that, when you [do] one thing, you go all the way or no way. I dont want to go out there and party or be at the clubs saying, Oh, you guys see my last fight, how great I was? I dont want to do none of that.

Written by a true left-nut union man. Is anyone foolish enough to believe this wrap-yourself-in-the-flag babble? I snicker at the idea that all of the anti-union people had some sort of back-story of pain and suffering. This guy then twists their story around so they support the socialist union people.
Personally, I am not questioning unions in the private sector. I am against them, but it is my choice whether to buy a foreign or domestic car, knowing that a domestic purchase means thousands of my dollars go into union election funds.
Public unions are a different story. They have no right to exist until such time as each and every taxpayer can represent themselves at negotiations. Elected officials are too crooked and untrustworthy to leave this important responsibility to.
As an Illinois taxpayer, I have no effective representation, no voice, and no one looking out for me. I can only sit and hope that our ridiculus governor is satiated with the money he has stolen from me thusfar.
I hope the Wisconsin Republicans crush the state workers unions.

Apple defends against 3G Samsung patent claim in Germany, fires back with slide-to-unlock lawsuit
Samsung was hoping to nail Apple for 3G patent infringement in Germany, but a judge has already tossed one of them out the window. Six other patents are still being investigated, but details on that particular case are skimpy for now. Apple has in the same breath shot back at Samsung for infringing on a slide-to-unlock patent with the Galaxy Nexus. Apple had pulled out this patent against HTC two years ago, though it doesn't look like they won on that particular front.
Germany has been a bit of a hotbed for mobile patent cases lately. Apple has most recently attacked Samsung for design infringement on ten phones, and previously earned an injuction against Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales. Of course, Apple isn't winning all of their fights in Germany; Motorola recently won a case against Apple for 3G patents.
It's a messy web of companies suing and counter-suing over arguably broad claims to intellectual property. Rarely do these episodes conclude with the dramatic import bans that are initially threatened, and that's a good thing - we would probably have way fewer phones to play with if these lawsuits ended without some kind of compromise.

Apple defends against 3G Samsung patent claim in Germany, fires back with slide-to-unlock lawsuit
sadly in this world it doesnt matter who invented but who has the money to patent...example i could invent product x but i dont have the money to patent i cant stop anyone from xopying it and patenting it themselves and claiming the right to product x...just shows how ridiculous things are. anyway dont think apple have a shot with this slide to unlock,they failed with this against samsung in the netherlands law suits.
does anybody car about these lawsuit stories any more?
Whether you do or not, you should. It's ridiculous patent claims and lawsuits of this kind that take away freedom from all of us. In the interests of defending its patents, Apple is all too willing to deprive anyone else of making competing, superior products (and make no mistake Android is a superior OS in most regards).
Lawsuits over whether a human being can slide their finger along a piece of glass to unlock their device are destructive of Rights.

Man faces felony charge of driving while using drugsAugust 05,2013Police: Drugs a factor in crash
BENNINGTON A North Bennington man is facing felony charges after police said they believed he had been using a depressant drug before causing a crash in Bennington.
David J. Corcuera, 34, was arraigned last week on a felony charge of driving under the influence of a drug, a felony charge of refusing to submit to a blood test and a misdemeanor charge of grossly negligent driving.
In an affidavit, Officer John Behan of the Bennington Police Department said he was dispatched to investigate a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of North Bennington Road and Hannaford Shopping Plaza around 7:50 a.m. July 14. There were no reported injuries.
Behan said one driver, Helen Morey, 71, said she was driving east on North Bennington Road and had come to a stop at a traffic light when the other car, driven by Corcuera, hit her in the back. A witness told Behan that what she had seen while walking on North Bennington Road supported Moreys story.
When Behan spoke to Corcuera, he noticed signs of impairment, according to the affidavit. Corcuera told Behan he did not take any drugs for which he did not have a prescription but said he is part of a methadone program because of a previous drug problem.
Corcuera was taken to the Bennington police station where Cpl. Andy Hunt, a Bennington police officer who is a nationally certified drug recognition expert, said he believed Corcuera was under the influence of a central nervous system depressant drug.
Corcuera declined to provide a blood sample.
According to court records, Corcuera has been previously convicted of driving under the influence of substances in July 2006 in Vermont and January 2009 in New York.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...
