Bought Two
By Hurtone
from Columbus, Ms.
I originally saw this suit in Orlando, Fl. The stores there didn't have it in my size. I ordered my first one, the tan and white online. When it came in, I loved it so much that I located the blue and white in Jackson, Ms. and had them send it to me. It is currently being altered. I wore the tan one this past weekend as I officiated an outdoor wedding. It was 95 degrees and humid. June 21, the longest day of the year. I was the only one wearing a coat!!! I was surprisingly comfortable. I wore Allen Edmonds tan walnut and bone Broadstreets with it. It's sad to be the bride when your not the bride!! Everyone loved the suit. So glad I got the second for only 119.00. They are well made. All of my suits are custom. It's a steal. See Stan in Jackson. He's the best!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Everything was perfect
By RJH
from New Orleans, LA
I had always wanted a seersucker suit my entire life, so I got this one for graduation. It fit perfectly and looked great on my hot day in New Orleans. I loved it.
The Gentleman's Suit
By Crimeboss
from Dallas/Fort Worth
I have always wanted a seersucker suit with some cream colored bucks. It is such a gentleman's look and only a select few can pull it off. I love it when I can get a great suit on sale and this was definitely one of those cases. A great fit, an awesome look and a great deal. What more could you ask for?

Taupe and White Seersucker the BOMB!
By Reginald from Arlington
from Arlington, TX
Without a doubt, one of the finest suits I have ever bought. I love clothes and was very skeptical of the look at first but once I got the suit home and coordinated it with the right look, it was fabulous!The suit is lightweight but the quality of the cloth is excellent. The lining on the suit is modest but because it is a summer suit, you would not expect heavy lining.The pinstripe taupe and white combined with a taupe shirt, striped silk taupe and white tie, taupe shoes, and taupe handkerchief gives this suit a dazzling look like none other.Immediately, women turn their eyes toward you and the guys eyes get green with envy. One guy did walk up to me and say "Nice suit". You can tell you hit a homerun because the women can not keep their eyes off you. It is a classically elegant summer suit that is not only affordable but typifies the quality of Jos A Bank.I am a black guy who was very skeptical of "The Look" but definitely, this suit looks good on me and I am about to buy 3 more!My sales lady is Susan from the Arlington Highland store and she is very good at her job!
super suit

from PHILDELPHIA, PA.
Great price for a great looking suit
By clemcali
from Vicksburg, MS
This suit fits very well. I wear a 48 XL, but if I don't get the jacket taken in in the chest it looks boxy. The tailor was great, the finished product was excellent and I've already recommended purchasing Jos. A Bank suits to numerous friends.
By none
from new orleans la
I already own several seersucker suits. Some of them are from J A Bank. I like your product and the selection of colors you offer. I only wish you would pick up the green stripe seersucker. None of the high end retailers carry that color any more. The navy blue is a rare find and I am very pleased to have one now.
Not bad
By Mariella
from Beverly Hills
I bought this suit for my husband. He's a trial lawyer, and he looks great in it. It's an old throwback. He looks like he's on the Great Gatsby! In any event, I bought him his size -- 50 reg. The size 46 waist was great; the jacket, however, was more snug than his other size 50 reg. suits. He had it let out, and he's really happy with it.
It's not Perry Mason ...
By Martin the lawyer
from Palm Springs, CA
I had always dreamed of growing up to be Perry Mason. Matlock was only an afterthought. I got the permanent crease on these. Now I'm the perfect cross between dapper Mason and rumpled Matlock and can go ahead to be the lawyer I always wanted to be!

Not available as separates
By Mike K.
from Mandeville, LA
I have wide shoulders (50 long coat) and relatively small waist (38). Although the waist of the jacket can be taken in, unfortunately, this suit is not available as separates, and the waist shipped with a 50 long jacket is 46. Pants cannot be altered and look good.

Mike Comrie: do over?
Robin Brownlee

We talked a few days ago about a report by the New York Post's Larry Brooks, a report which stated that Messier was interviewed this summer for the coaching position that eventually went to Pat Quinn.
According to Messier, that report wasn't entirely accurate.

Splitting the Season
Jonathan Willis
August 17 2009 05:30AM
One method occasionally used by prognosticators (and fantasy hockey types) is looking at season splits. Did the player start the season well but cool off? Did the player start the season poorly but turn it on towards the end?
These questions are of particular interest when it comes to young players – and predicting breakout seasons.

What is Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
Put simply, M2M communications are made possible by a device (such as a sensor) that is attached to a machine to capture an event that is relayed over a network delivering data to applications. The intelligent sensors are embedded in a remote asset and capture events such as temperature, location, consumption, heart rate, stress levels, light, movement, altitude and speed. These sensors include a SIM card that is able to receive and transmit the event data wirelessly to a central server where an Application translates this data into meaningful information that can be analysed and acted upon e.g the temperature is too hot, turn temperature down.
Vodafone M2M Barometer Report 2014
In the 12 months since our first M2M Adoption Barometer things have changed a lot. The percentage of companies saying that they are using M2M has grown by over 80%, and we've seen shifts between regions and vertical sectors.

Our Solutions
M2M enables customers to save time and money by optimising business processes. Cost saving remains one of the primary drivers for businesses to adopt M2M solutions today as the recovery of one misplaced diesel generator, for example, can cover the installation and running costs of an M2M tracking solution.
Here are some of the ways our customers are optimising their business with our M2M solutions:
- Remote monitoring and analytics reduce the cost of failure, minimise the need for 'routine maintenance' visits and problems can be fixed before they have an impact on the customer.
- Accurate information is delivered in real time, enabling quicker business decisions, less machine down-time and better production yield.
- Information can be collected automatically and systems maintained and repaired remotely so engineers and service staff can manage their time more effectively.
- Asset tracking enables theft recovery, theft prevention, status monitoring and inventory.
- Vodafone has saved at least £2 million annually on its UK energy bills through automated monitoring of energy consumption at its base stations with Bglobal.

Cutcliffe promotes ex-Duke player Jeff Faris to WR coach
In what has become a familiar move for David Cutcliffe, the Duke coach is turning to a graduate assistant coach to fill a full-time opening on his staff.
Jeff Faris, a former Duke safety who has been a graduate assistant for the last two seasons, is Duke's new wide receivers coach, Cutcliffe said Thursday.
Faris played for Duke from 2008-11 before his two-year stint as a graduate assistant.
"Jeff is qualified in every area," Cutcliffe said. "He's going to be an outstanding coach and outstanding leader. We believe we have the finest young recruiter in all of football in Jeff Faris. We are very excited about Jeff's talents and what he brings to the staff."
It's the second year in a row Cutcliffe has made this type of move with a former player and graduate assistant. Re'Quan Boyette, a Duke running back from 2005-09 who was a grad assistant in 2012, become the team's running backs coach last year.
Other former grad assistants from Cutcliffe's time coaching at Tennessee and Mississippi have been full-time assistants for him at Duke. They include Marion Hobby, Kurt Roper, Zac Roper, Matt Lubick and Derek Jones.
"It's something that's been very good to us," Cutcliffe said.
Faris' promotion is part of Duke's task of replacing offensive coordinator Kurt Roper, who left to become Florida's offensive coordinator in January. Cutcliffe promoted wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery to replace Roper as the team's offensive play-caller.
During spring practice, which began Feb. 7 and concluded this week, Faris worked with the wide receivers.
His ability to coach all positions, Cutcliffe said, goes back to his playing days. Cutcliffe remembers Faris, who routinely worked on the scout team that mimicked the opponent's defense, asking if he could sit in on the quarterbacks meetings.
Faris told Cutcliffe he wanted to learn all aspects of football, not just defense, and he also wanted to give the current quarterbacks deeper insight into what the defense was thinking.
Cutcliffe said that impressed him, as did the work Faris did during his grad assistant tenure as well as during his stint with the wide receivers during spring practice.
For Faris, Thursday's promotion is the culmination of a well-planned journey.
"I am thrilled with this opportunity to represent my alma mater as an assistant coach," Faris said. "During my time at Duke, both as a student-athlete and coach, I have been surrounded by tremendous mentors — most notably Coach Cutcliffe — who have taught me not only about the game of football, but also the importance of impacting young people. I am a proud Duke man and the tools I have acquired from this great university and football program will allow me to pursue excellence every day. I look forward to helping our players make the most out of the myriad of opportunities that this world class institution provides.

Jeanne Jolly
Skyflight Productions presents an evening with Jeanne Jolly on Friday August 2, 2013 at The Albert S. George Youth Center at Barnesville Memorial Park in Barnesville, OH. Singer/songwriter Jeanne Jolly broke onto the music scene as the featured vocalist for Grammy Award winning jazz trumpeter Chris Botti. Touring all through North America she had the opportunity to sing with world renowned symphonies and perform at venues like Carnegie Hall and play marquee events such as the Monterey Jazz Festival.
A diverse, classically trained vocalist, Jolly's voice is said to embody the "early belting power of Linda Ronstadt" (MetroMusicScene, VA) combined "the delicate lilt of Alison Krauss" (NC Metro Magazine). Born in North Carolina, Jolly was the recipient of Western Carolina University's Young Alumni Award and has earned a Masters in Vocal Performance from New England Conservatory. Upon completing her schooling, Jolly moved to L.A. where her career quickly took off. In addition to working with Botti, she began to explore different styles of music, recording with acclaimed songwriters Lowen & Navarro and country artist Bob Woodruff.
After her tenure with Botti came to an end Jolly found herself being pulled back to her Southern roots. Soon she co-wrote, co-produced, and recorded her first country/Americana EP (Jan, 2008) and started a band in Los Angeles. In 2009, Jolly moved back to North Carolina where she began to focus on developing her guitar skills, sharpening her solo performance, and focusing on writing more of her own songs. It wasn't long until she once again found herself in the company of Grammy nominated artists, opening up for Sam Bush, Maura O'Connell, Chuck Mead, and many more.
In October 2010 Jolly released her new EP, Falling In Carolina.which has garnered top praise for honest lyrics and quality vocals. Recorded in Durham, NC at SoundPure studios and released over an 11 day run of 29 shows at the 2010 NC State Fair in Raleigh, the album features Jolly on vocals, baritone ukulele, piano and guitar. Jolly has also been the recipient of NC Metro Magazine's award for "Best Local Musician" in 2010, 2011, and was also a featured artist at the 2011 International Folk Alliance in Memphis, TN. She has recently joined the family of Grammy nominated NC based group, The Foreign Exchange . Jolly is featured on their live DVD, Dear Friends: An Evening with The Foreign Exchange. She has been contributing vocals on their Authenticity Tour (2011-2012) & has been featured on a number of recordings produced by The Foreign Exchange Music.
As of August 2012, Jeanne has now made a name for herself as a nationally known singer songwriter after a successful run through the northwest, playing the main stage at Red Ants Pants Music Festival along with: Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Hayes Carll, & Mary Chapin Carpenter. Following this performance, she went on to play the main stage at Sweet Pea Festival in Bozeman, MT along with other venues through the Northwest United States.
Jeanne released her debut full length, "Angels", produced by Chris Boerner, released by The Foreign Exchange Music in October (2012) and has been on the road for her Album Release Tour playing to packed rooms in venues such as Lincoln Theater, Raleigh, NC, Rockwood Music Hall (Stage 2), NYC, & The Rutledge, Nashville, TN.

Are Fuel Taxes Regressive?
One of the main arguments against raising fuel taxes is the popular belief that they disproportionately hurt poor people. In this context, fuel taxes are considered "regressive" because the burden of the tax as a share of income falls heavier on the poor. But RFF University Fellow Thomas Sterner and colleagues find that in years falling between 2002 and 2007, this conventional wisdom held mainly for the United States. Using a measure of regressivity known as the Suits Index—where -1 indicates a tax that the poorest person fully pays and +1 a tax the richest pays—they show that for many developing countries a fuel tax is strongly progressive, while for other developed countries it is neutral or only modestly regressive. In countries where the very poorest households cannot afford to own a car at all, fuels have more of a "luxury" character, and hence fuel taxes are progressive.

Thanks Krypto! Your feedback is always appreciated. I'm going to mull your advice over and become my own guinea pig!
Re: Please critique my diet

Posted by: hilltowner:
 ...I'd be interested in this too; I pretty much have my BF down to where I want it, but would like to add muscle. I realize that only in my fantasies can I add muscle without adding *any* fat, but what do you think is the best way to add some muscle with *minimal* fat gain?
I know my maintenance calories are right around 2200.
Thanks!

For minimal fat gain on a bulk, you just need to eat MORE of those clean foods, more oatmeal, more brown rice, etc.
I would change your macronutrient ratio to add more carbs. What I usually do, when I decide I want to focus on gaining more muscle mass, is slowly increase my carbohydrates and calories.
I would shoot for a macronutrient ratio of either 40P/40C/20F or 40P/35C/25F or 40P/30C/30F. If your carbs are a lot lower than that, then be sure to increase them SLOWLY. How slow is up to you, whatever you feel comfortable with. By doing it slowly, you will minimize fat gain, same goes for increasing your total calories.
When I started bulking, I ended up adding an extra 500 calories in a week's time period and I believe I stopped there. I was doing a 40P/30C/30F ratio at around 2500 cals in the beginning and my calories were as high as 3000 some days. Don't get all scared about increasing, just do it slowly, keep track in fitday, keep track of your progress, keep an eye on the mirror and get bodyfat measurements taken if you can every 2-3 weeks. Just keep a close tally on everything you're doing and that's how you'll learn what is working for you. It's all I did. It's going to depend on each individual, some people gain muscle easier than others. I found that I don't need a lot of carbs and I can still gain muscle, someone else may need more carbs in order to gain. It's what you have to find out by experimenting. Just do things slowly, give your body time to adjust, keep track and you'll be fine. You may see a scale jump at first, don't panic, as you add more carbs you'll start holding more water so the scale can jump anywhere from 2-5 lbs (my experience). Your weight should level out after about 2 weeks, after the intial water gain. Also, when you hold water it'll blur your definition but it doesn't mean you gained fat.
I would say you don't wanna gain more than 2 lbs a week and certainly no less than 1/2 lb a week to say that you're having success. Good luck, and let me know how it goes! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Re: Please critique my diet
I am still having the same problem as before, I cannot seem to eat any more than 1400-1500 calories. If I do, it comes mostly from carbs (I am a low carber).
There was a post on here the other day - mentioned that calories are not important as ratio. Can you give an opinion? I cannot seem to I scarf anymore when I am sooo full? I also gained 4 lbs. since I quit cardio too
...hmmmm...is that normal you think?

Yes, I am an advocate of simply eating clean and manipulating your macronutrient ratios for fat loss, putting off cutting any calories until it is absolutely necessary.
I cannot seem to I scarf anymore when I am sooo full?

It's just something you will have to keep working at, key is to increase slowly and allow your body's metabolism time to catch up.
I also gained 4 lbs. since I quit cardio too
...hmmmm...is that normal you think?

Nothing I'd get concerned about, could be several things, water retention or perhaps your body has finally attained the edge it needed in order to build some muscle mass, which is what you want.

Volunteer 'Pedals for Hope' from Bimini, Bethlehem
STUART - House of Hope volunteer Bill Boes is preparing for his second annual Pedal from Bimini in August. But first, he's pedaling from Bethlehem.
Boes, 62, will embark June 1 on a 1,000-mile trip on a recumbent tricycle by Catrike. He'll start from Bethlehem, Pa., where his sister lives, and he plans to be back in Stuart on June 10 if he hits his goal of 100 miles a day.
The trip is intended to help him "muscle up" for his pedal boat crossing from Bimini, which is scheduled for Aug. 5.
Boes' efforts also have a charitable aspect called "Pedal for Hope." He pledges to give House of Hope any funds raised that exceed his expenses, and he is also using his rides to raise awareness about the agency, which provides food, clothing and financial assistance to Martin County residents in need.
Also new this year: Boes is calling on people to join him on his trip from Bimini. Stand-up paddlers, ocean rowers, kayakers and canoers are invited to apply to join in this human-powered crossing of the Gulf Stream.
"It will give a select group of athletes the challenge of crossing the Florida Gulf Stream together, yet individually, using their own human power," said Boes, who will make the trip in a 12-foot pedal boat by Nauticraft.
The launch site is Alice Town in Bimini, Bahamas, and the landing goal is the Florida coast within a 24-hour period. Last year, a storm forced Boes to stop with only about 10 miles to go in the 60-mile voyage.
Boes is seeking sponsors to defray costs and volunteers to provide support boats for the day of the event.
Anyone interested in joining, sponsoring or volunteering should contact Boes at email@example.com or (703) 887-9542.
He has set up a Facebook page called the Pedal/Paddle/Row Bimini Challenge 2012 (www.facebook.com/PedalPaddleRowBiminiChallenge2012), where people can follow his progress on his upcoming trike ride as well as the Bimini crossing.
Information about House of Hope is available at www.hohmartin.org or by calling 772 286-4673.

Is the construction of West Village and the new science building the cause of the increases in tuition by thousands of dollars each year?
Costs related to science building construction will not factor into university expenses until the fiscal year beginning July 2010. The primary causes of tuition increases are the dramatically rising costs of electricity and health care, additional faculty and staff to serve our students, and construction and operating costs associated with the new West Village dormitories. Because of deregulation in our area, the cost of electricity alone is expected to increase by 90 percent over the next two years.
In addition, the economy is increasing competition for philanthropic dollars, and donors have less to give. Annual funds across the country have been hit hard, and ours is no exception. Nevertheless, this year's tuition increase of 4.5 percent is our lowest percent increase in seven years.
Is tuition expected to decrease once the new science building has been completed and/or opened?
Loan repayment and operating costs for the Natural Sciences Center will continue for many years beyond the facility's opening, so tuition will not decrease. The pool of financial aid dollars, however, has increased this year to help the anticipated needs of families struggling with the economy. While these are challenging times, we believe that the value of a Susquehanna education will increase in the years ahead, and that the contributions of our alumni as citizen-leaders will be ever greater.
Does Susquehanna have the funds to complete the new science building and the West Village residence halls?
Yes. These projects are being funded by a combination of fundraising, reserves and borrowing. Fundraising is on target, reserves are in hand, and we successfully completed a new debt issuance and have those proceeds in hand as well.
If the current economic conditions continue for a prolonged period of time, what is the impact on Susquehanna if parents/students cannot pay tuition and room and board?
The answer depends on the length and severity of a recession, what happens in the credit markets, and how many families are affected and to what degree.
Thanks to years of careful financial management which have produced substantial reserves, Susquehanna is in a better position than many other small, tuition-dependent colleges and universities to weather a protracted, deep recession that results in lower enrollments and higher financial aid needs for several years. Susquehanna has been through severe recessions before, and is financially more secure than it was during those periods.
We have begun planning for a variety of scenarios, including ones based on modest to significant enrollment drops. Our goal is to be sure that we continue to deliver an excellent education within available resources. We think we can do that, and we believe that families will continue to recognize that higher education is the best investment they can make in their children's future, especially in economically turbulent times. Our task as a community is to remain focused on our students' needs, and to deploy precious resources judiciously and creatively on their behalf.
Why have college costs risen so much?
The factors contributing to the increased cost of higher education are many and vary by institution. While the educational experience at Susquehanna has always been of high quality, additional resources have made it possible to deliver what we believe today is truly an exemplary undergraduate education. Students receive a highly personalized education from Susquehanna in an environment that is intensely focused on their learning needs.
- Over 90 percent of our faculty now hold the Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree. We have increased significantly the number of full-time faculty per student. The result is that every student has the opportunity to work closely with faculty in understanding the latest developments in their fields.
- Additional faculty have made possible a new curriculum that represents best practices in undergraduate education. In addition to a strong focus on the liberal arts, this curriculum also includes capstone and cross-cultural experiences that we believe will better prepare our students to live and work in an unpredictable and ever-changing world.
- Students and faculty are supported by facilities that have been dramatically improved. Because we believe that the best undergraduate education focuses on development of mind, body and spirit, these improvements include not only academic facilities but also residence halls, dining and social spaces, the sports complex and athletic fields.
The motivation to improve also comes from the more pragmatic need to succeed in the marketplace. The college search and selection process is intensely competitive, with those institutions perceived as offering the best student experience attracting a larger share of the available student market. Schools offering the best faculty, the best facilities and the most comprehensive student experiences attract more and better students. We cannot ignore the increased demand for amenities by our students and their families. Residence halls are a good case study. Twenty-five years ago, all of our residence halls, like those at institutions across the country, were the traditional design with long floors with double rooms off of each side of the corridors and shared bathrooms. This type of residence hall was economical to build and reflected the modest expectations of families. Today, however, a majority of students attending college grew up with a very different residential experience. Most have never had to share a bedroom with a sibling and are used to cable television, broadband access and privacy. To attract and enroll students, colleges and universities adapted to these changes by constructing suite- or apartment-style housing. Schools that lagged in the continuous improvement of the collegiate experience paid the price in the marketplace with students choosing to enroll elsewhere.
It will be interesting to see if these dynamics change in this new economic climate.
How has the financial crisis affected Susquehanna's fiscal condition?
Susquehanna remains strong financially, but we are nevertheless feeling the impact of weakening financial markets.
Over the last 13 months, the value of our endowment has declined by about 35 percent, much of that in the last 30 days. As of Oct. 30, its market value was $81 million. Our policy allows us to spend 4.5 percent of the endowment's three-year average market value, as calculated on Sept. 30 of the previous fiscal year. Using the three-year average protects against sharp spending drops from one year to the next, so the effect of the current year decline will not have a significant impact until Fiscal Year 2011. The funds are conservatively invested in five asset categories: large cap U.S. funds, small cap U.S. funds, international equities, real estate and private equity. The endowment is not invested in hedge funds, and the allocation to private equity is less than 2 percent. Although we rely on endowment income to fund our operating budget to a lesser extent than many institutions, a continuation of this declining trend would have negative financial consequences for the institution.
Interest income earned on reserves is used to offset operating expenses. Our $50 million in cash and reserves is invested in Treasury bills and collateralized bank cash. The tradeoff for safety is less return, and we are currently earning little or no interest.
On the positive side, our historically prudent approach to managing our finances is also evident in our debt structure. About 93 percent of our $74 million in total debt is in fixed-rate instruments, which means only a small portion of our debt is subject to swings in interest rates. Our $5.3 million in variable-rate debt has recently swung from interest rates of 1.6 percent to 8 percent and is now down to 1.9 percent.
Has the market crisis had an impact on applications for admission?
Applications for admission remain strong and ahead of last year's record-setting pace. Because we rely heavily on revenue from tuition, room and board to cover the costs of a Susquehanna education, this is good news.
Will the financial crisis affect Susquehanna's admissions strategy?
Susquehanna has a longstanding need-blind admission program. Admission for qualified applicants will be based on their strong academic record as well as their demonstrated leadership and commitment to service. We will make every effort to assist those families with demonstrated financial need to finance their education.
Will Susquehanna raise tuition next year?
The Board of Trustees typically addresses the issue of tuition at its February meeting. At this time, we are considering a number of strategies to both meet our financial obligations and to mitigate the impact on Susquehanna families. NOTE: We will not be raising tuition for the second semester, even though a growing number of institutions have already announced such intent.
How will the volatility in credit markets affect financial aid?
We are watching closely the effect of the marketplace on student loans. To date, we have been able to point virtually all students to reasonably priced student loans. We pledge to honor all our present financial aid commitments. Students currently receiving financial aid can expect to receive aid throughout their time at Susquehanna, as long as they meet the conditions of their aid packages, including demonstrating financial need for need-based aid programs.
What if my family's financial situation has changed?
As always, we will consider changes in your family's situation when assessing your ability to pay for tuition, room and board. If you believe your circumstances have changed and that your situation warrants a review, please send a letter or e-mail to the Office of Financial Aid (email@example.com) describing in depth the change in your financial circumstances.
Will the crisis change how Susquehanna calculates aid?
Our expectation is that we will continue to base future financial aid packages on the assumptions that have guided our program for many years. We would encourage anyone with concerns about matters related to financial aid to be in touch with our staff in the Office of Financial Aid.
Can I apply for financial aid now even if I have never applied for aid in the past and what is the process?
You may apply for financial aid by following the process that is outlined on our website. You may also contact the Office of Financial Aid by phone at 570-372-4450 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
Can Susquehanna University help families find loans?
The Office of Financial Aid can recommend lenders who have given very good service to our families. While we cannot tell you which lender to select, we can provide guidance for the process. In addition, we can provide up-to-date guidance on the current government and private loan programs.
Over the past two years, Congress has expanded eligibility for federal education loans. We strongly urge students and families to take advantage first of the Federal Loan Program, beginning with Federal Stafford loans and then considering Federal Parent PLUS loans, before turning to alternative/private loans. Interest rates, fees and qualification requirements have risen dramatically on alternative/private loans. Before choosing a loan product, borrowers should carefully weigh the costs and benefits of each. Our financial aid staff is familiar with all loan types and stands ready to advise students and their families.
Will the current financial crisis affect Susquehanna's academic programs?
Providing a high-quality educational experience for our students will continue to guide our decision making. This is a fundamental institutional value. Susquehanna has and will continue to have the financial strength to sustain its academic programs.

Hi guys!
I have been lurking a lot in these forums for a long time. Ever since I was a boy I always loved Disney, and seeing the efforts of this community, I would love to support it. How? Well, I came up with the Happiness Express!
Inspired by this community's very own Duffy Post Coast to Coast service, Happiness Express will be a delivery service for anyone who would like to purchase any merchandise from Tokyo Disney Resort... including, of course, Duffy and Shellie May plushies, accessories, costumes, and everything else you can think of.
The reason I established this is to help the community to get things they want! At first I was going to make it forum based, but as I had experience in making websites, I decided to work out a simple website, with an easy way of navigating through a couple of the items that are available right now from Tokyo Disney Resort.
Check out the simple site here: Happiness Express - Home
Feel free to join the Happiness Express on my next trip scheduled for July 8th!
Of course, I will respond to any questions here.
P.S. I nearly forgot - Of course Duffy and Shellie May items will get a discount! <3

Reactive damage is and has always been good for tanking... we've all begged that druid for Thorns, envied that paladin for Retribution Aura, and have a shield or two with a Shield Spike on it for multi-mob tanks. Now, not only do warrior tanks have their own reactive damage tanking ability (which, combined with the new Thunder Clap that has no upper limit on mobs it hits and Shockwave, the 51 point protection talent) but it scales with Strength/Block Value, meaning that as your gear improves you can select to increase this ability's damage and thus its threat. A mere 500 block value (trifling to attain with the new strength to block calculations) means you will deal 100 damage to anyone who strikes you or is blocked attacking you.
Even if (like me in the picture above) you throw on full DPS gear and don't have any active block value, your strength is going to add up to SBV in the 300's or above. That's more than three times as much damage as Thorns, it's always on, you never have to refresh it or ask anyone else to put it on you and it stacks with Thorns and a Shield Spike.
Honestly, what else is there to say? This is an amazing ability. If you are a tank, you should get this ability. In fact, protection spec warriors have absolutely no reason not to get this ability. It will be available as of Echoes of Doom, and if you intend to be specced prot as of tomorrow in the name of all the tanking gods get this talent. You're never going to regret more threat from a stat you're going to stack anyway.

ATLANTA, Ga. (March 8, 2008) – Atlanta Motor Speedway is known for exciting finishes and great racing. While fans saw plenty of that on Saturday afternoon, they also saw weather wreak havoc with the schedule. Heavy snow flurries forced NASCAR to cancel Nationwide Series qualifying, placing Carl Edwards third on the starting grid. The driver of the No. 60 Scotts Miracle-Gro Ford Fusion had a strong run, overcoming handling and mechanical issues to finish in the fourth position, scoring his second top-five finish of the 2008 season.
Edwards reported in the opening laps of Saturday's race that his Scotts Ford was a little tight in the center of the turns, but he held his position inside the top five for the early going of the event. When the caution flag flew at lap 28 for an incident with the Nos. 40 and 41 cars, crew chief Pierre Kuettel elected to bring Edwards to pit road for service. The No. 60 crew performed routine service flawlessly, sending Edwards back on track with four new tires and fuel in the fifth position.
Edwards slowly began to lose positions as the field returned to green flag racing. He radioed to the crew that he was a little loose, and that he would need a wedge adjustment on the next stop. After falling to the ninth position on lap 40, Edwards began to climb his way back towards the front of the field. By lap 64, Edwards had worked his way back to the sixth position when he reported that the engine of the Scotts Ford began to feel as if it had developed a problem. With a green flag pit stop just laps away, Edwards and crew debated on opening the hood to check for a possible plug wire coming loose. Edwards switched ignition boxes in the cockpit of his No. 60, and radioed that it had solved the problem. At lap 89, Edwards came to pit road for his scheduled service. Kuettel made the call to take on tires and fuel, and make a slight air pressure adjustment. As the field cycled around, Edwards found himself in the eighth position when the caution flag came out at lap 101. Having just completed service, Edwards elected to stay out and preserve his track position for the restart.
When green-flag racing resumed at lap 106, Edwards ran in the fifth position. He held the position until the the caution flag was displayed once again at lap 141 for an incident with the No. 05 car. Edwards came to pit road with the rest of the leaders, electing to take on four tires, fuel and a wedge adjustment. As the cars pulled into their pit stalls ahead of Edwards, the No. 60 shot to the top of the leader board as he crossed the start finish line on pit road, collecting five bonus points towards the season championship. By the time the field cycled back out, Edwards lined up fourth for the lap 146 restart.
Edwards restarted fourth and held onto the position until the red flag was displayed at lap 189 following a multi-car incident. Edwards had one final shot at the leaders on the green-white-checkered flag three-lap sprint that ensued, but he was not able to gain additional positions in the final laps of the event.
"We had a good run with our Scotts Fusion," said Edwards. "I'm really proud of my guys for coming back like this. It wasn't a win, but it's still a great day for us. We didn't quite get our car where we wanted it at then end but we were real close. We have to do our homework just a little bit better, but it's cool to see Matt win, that's good. It was a good points day for us."
Following their fourth-place finish at Atlanta, Edwards and the No. 60 team hold the second position in the NASCAR Nationwide Series point standings. The Nationwide Series races next at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday, March 15, 2008.

Stranger Magic
Charmed States and The Arabian Nights
written by Marina Warner
Chatto and Windus | ISBN 9780701173319
Hardback – 560 pages
Member's price: $44.96
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
A dazzling history of magical thinking, exploring the power of The Arabian Nights and its impact in the West, and retelling some of its wondrous tales. Magic is not simply a matter of the occult arts, but a whole way of thinking, of dreaming the impossible. As such it has tremendous force in opening the mind to new realms of achievement: imagination precedes the fact. It used to be associated with wisdom, understanding the powers of nature, and with technical ingenuity that could let men do things they had never dreamed of before. The supreme fiction of this magical thinking is The Arabian Nights, with its flying carpets, hidden treasure and sudden revelations. Translated into French and English in the early days of the Enlightenment, this became a best-seller among intellectuals, when it was still thought of in the Arab world as a mere collection of folk tales. For thinkers of the West the book's strangeness opened visions of transformation: dreams of flight, speaking objects, virtual money, and the power of the word to bring about change. Its tales create a poetic image of the impossible, a parable of secret knowledge and power. Above all they have the fascination of the strange and the belief that true knowledge lies elsewhere, in a mysterious realm of wonder.
As part of her exploration into the prophetic enchantments of the Nights, Marina Warner retells some of the most wonderful and lesser known stories. She explores the figure of the dark magician or magus, from Solomon to the wicked uncle in Aladdin; the complex vitality of the jinn, or genies; animal metamorphoses and flying carpets. Her narrative reveals that magical thinking, as conveyed by these stories, governs many aspects of experience, even now. In this respect, the east and west have been in fruitful dialogue. Writers and artists in every medium have found themselves by adopting Oriental disguise. With startling originality and impeccable research, this ground-breaking book shows how magic, in the deepest sense, helped to create the modern world, and how profoundly it is still inscribed in the way we think today.

CT Software Helps Rule Out Coronary Artery Disease
The COR Analyzer system, from Rcadia Medical Imaging, automatically detects significant (50 percent and more) stenotic lesions in coronary arteries from coronary CT Angiography (CTA) studies.
The system provides a high negative predictive value for the absence of coronary disease in branch vessels as well as the major coronary arteries.
In studies, it has demonstrated a sensitivity of 92 percent and a negative predictive value of 97 percent. The system's specificity was 70 percent and the positive predictive value was 48 percent.
The high negative predictive value will be most useful in a population with a low prevalence of coronary disease, such as the emergency room chest pain population. In these populations, the system could be used to facilitate the rapid discharge of a majority of patients who have normal coronary CTA studies.

Since generally the parties are held earlier in the day, and unless you have a drinking problem, the lack of alcoholic beverages should not be a problem. If it is that important to a person, you may not want them at the party anyway. They are probly going to be a problem. Seen it!

I've only been to a few baby showers (thus far), but all of them served both alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. I don't think there's anything wrong with offering both options (like any other party should). It seems a little egotistical to have the'nobody can drink if i can't' attitude, and like OhMaxine pointed out, baby showers can be so awkward sometimes that it definitely helps to have a glass of wine or champagne available. I don't think Katie was implying that you NEED alcohol to have fun, but I think at least offering it shows that you want your guests to be able to relax and have a good time. For the record, I plan on having tons of booze at my (very far away) baby shower. If I can't drink, I'll need my friends to drink twice as much in my honor!

I say a do. I threw a shower in January for a friend, and I had this mixed drink recipe that I was digging and wanted to make it for all our friends that would be there. I checked with the Mom to be before hand to make sure it was ok. She was fine with it. I also made sure we had iced tea, sodas, and bottled water to offer those that didn't want to drink. Not one of our friends got "smashed" as others would say, but they had a drink or two and really enjoyed the party. I didn't even get to finish my full glass, since I was so busy hosting!!

I've never been to a shower with alcohol, so this wouldn't phase me. This rule applies to weddings too: If you're disappointed by the lack of alcohol and expect it, you're there for the wrong reason. I voted "It Depends" because it should be up to the Guest of Honor.

Well I feel that the mom to be should call the shots. Personally it is not a big deal. If I plan to have a baby shower, depending on who is attending, I can gage where alcohol would be missed or not.

I am under the impression that baby shower attendance is not mandatory if game-playing and alcohol-free fun is not appreciated. :)

Alcohol should be served at baby showers so guests can pass the time by quickly and enjoyably while watching baby gifts being opened or playing those dumb games.

I agree that the Mom-to-be should call the shots on this and that the host should respect her wishes. Every shower that I have been to has been alcohol-free. Some have had alcohol-free wine, champagne and mimosas. Not a complaint from anyone that I am aware of!

I think if the honoree is cool with it then go for it. We've done mulled wine or mimosas for a few of the showers I've helped throw.

I attended a bridal shower (while pregnant myself) and i went up to the table where they had this wonderful spread. Thirsty as i was, i grabbed a glass and started to pour myself some punch. People were around clearly watching me. Finally my mom came up to me and said "no, theres alcohol in the punch!" I'm like" oooh thank goodness you told me...so wheres the non alcoholic drinks? "... There was none!!! So i think that alcohol is fine at a bridal shower (if the demand is there) but make sure there is something for the ones who dont want/cant have alcohol

I think having wine or champagne is a great way to celebrate such a fun occasion! I have been to plenty of baby showers with alcohol, no was smashed by the end of it, they just a had glass to celebrate. Of course, I think you should offer non-alcoholic options too but just because the mom can't celebrate with sparkling wine doesn't' mean their guests shouldn't! But I do agree with GirlA it definitely shouldn't be expected!

I think it is ridiculous that someone would find such a joyous occasion boring because of the lack of alcohol. I've never had a drop of the junk in my life, nor do I ever intend to start. Those women who couldn't have any fun without being buzzed are the ones who put a damper on things, not the hostess' decision not to serve booze.
girlA 4 years
I don't think there's anything wrong with having alcohol at a baby shower--I've been to ones with and ones without alcohol and I've thrown baby showers myself where I offered wine. But I don't think it should be expected at a baby shower. If someone feels they need alcohol to have a good time, then I think that's a problem. Stop at a liquor store on your way home then.

I've never been to a baby shower where alcohol was served. Its absence has certainly never been mentioned either. Punch, soft drinks and sparkling water are more than enough for a baby shower luncheon. The day is tailored to the guest of honor. If other's want a cocktail, how about a Shirley Temple?

I'm just so thankful I haven't had to go to a baby shower yet. Bridal showers are bad enough. Just kidding. Kind of.

The vast majority of showers I have been to - either as a guest, or the ton I have worked at as a waitress - have included alcohol. Not an open bar, certainly, but a champagne punch or mimosas (since they're almost always brunches).
mandaleebee 4 years
What's the problem with having a bottle of wine available? Some of my friends are going to try having kids soon, and I know they would encourage you not to feel awkward just because they can't drink! Sure you can have fun without alcohol, but I don't see any harm in having some wine/champagne/whatever at a celebratory occasion.
myhousemd 4 years
I've been to tons of baby showers, and not a single one has included alcohol. You don't need alcohol to have fun and have a party. The fact that the woman said you couldn't have any fun probably set that awkward mood.

One of the things I like about smoothies is that you can mix and match just about anything. This makes it easy to sneak some vegetables into your fruit smoothies as well. Let me give you an example.
Blended Fruit And Vegetable Smoothie Recipe
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 medium apple apple
- 1/4 cup natural applesauce
- 1 medium carrot
- 1/2 cup of cucumber
- 2 cups of ice
- Sweetener of your choice (optional)
Core the apple, cut it and the vegetables into large chunks. Add the fruit, vegetables and all other ingredients into your blender and blend until smooth. Taste your smoothie and add some sweetener like sugar, honey or stevia to your smoothie if needed.
Of course you can easily mix and match your own favorite vegetables and fruit combination in these types of smoothies.

The Texas Rangers addressed their need for relief pitching Saturday by acquiring righthander Koji Uehara from the Baltimore Orioles for infielder Chris Davis and righthander Tommy Hunter.
Texas also will receive $2 million to cover half of Uehara's 2012 salary, according to SI.com.
Uehara, 36, has been one of the top set-up relievers in the game this season, posting a 1.73 ERA in 47 innings (43 games) for the O's and has not allowed a run over his last 15 innings or since June 19. He also has experience as a closer; he saved 13 games last season.
"There are two contradicting feelings. Part of me says that a contending team wants me, and that's gratifying," Uehara told reporters, through an interpreter, after the trade was announced between games of the Orioles' doubleheader against the New York Yankees. "At the same time, Baltimore — I've been there for two years. It's really sad."
Texas likely will have control of Uehara next season. His contract includes a $4 million option for 2012 that will vest if he appears in 55 games.
"Koji is one of the most effective relivers in the game this year and last year," Rangers general Jon Daniels told reporters, according to ESPNDallas.com. "He's battle-tested. He's done it in the AL East. He's a strike-thrower and has the ability to make guys swing and miss. We're excited to have him."
Davis, 25, is expected to become the Orioles' primary first baseman with Derrek on his way to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Davis is a legitimate power threat, but he has trouble making contact; he averages a strikeout every 2.92 at-bats. He fanned 23 times in 77 at-bats for Texas this season.
Davis is looking to forward to receiving regular playing time again after two seasons of part-time work.
"When you're a power hitter you rely on timing and rhythm to get you locked in. It was tough playing three or four games and sitting," Davis told reporters in Toronto, where the Rangers are playing, according to ESPNDallas.com. "Today was a great example. I got four at-bats and it took me some time to get comfortable. That's a big thing for me. Especially being such a young player, it's critical for me to be in there every day and hit every day."
Hunter, 25, was 13-4 as a member of the Rangers' rotation in 2010, but he has missed most of this season because of groin strain. He is 1-1 with a 2.93 ERA in eight games and 15 1/3 innings, all in relief.
He is expected to return to starting with the Orioles.
"I'm a starting pitcher. I'm not a bullpen guy," Hunter said, according to ESPNDallas.com. "I'll be back in a position to where I'm pretty comfortable."
The Rangers were considered to be one of the teams in contention for San Diego Padres closer Heath Bell. Their acquisition of Uehara makes it less likely that they will continue to pursue Bell, although USA TODAY reports Texas is still talking with San Diego about a Bell trade.
Hours after the Uehara trade, the Orioles agreed to trade Lee and cash to the Pirates for a player to be named. According to multiple reports, the O's will receive a Class A position player.

When I saw Nicholas Kristof's column on sweatshops last week (Where Sweatshops Are a Dream), I just rolled my eyes, since this is an argument that he has been making for years now.
I was pleased to see that there were so many letters lambasting him a few days later. The one I liked best pointed out that Cambodia, the country Kristof focuses on in this latest column, doesn't exactly support his case: "Cambodian garment shops are among the best in Asia because of a deal done with the United States in a trade treaty signed in 1999." But Kristof's apologetics undermine the very labor agreements that would bring that about.
D&S columnist John Miller wrote against Kristof on this topic a couple of years ago, in his article Nike to the Rescue?, back when the globe-trotting Kristof was praising sweatshops in Namibia. Here's what John had to say then:
Nicholas Kristof has been beating the pro-sweatshop drum for quite a while. Shortly after the East Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, Kristof, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and now columnist for the New York Times, reported the story of an Indonesian recycler who, picking through the metal scraps of a garbage dump, dreamed that her son would grow up to be a sweatshop worker. Then, in 2000, Kristof and his wife, Times reporter Sheryl WuDunn, published "Two Cheers for Sweatshops" in the Times Magazine. In 2002, Kristof's column advised G-8 leaders to "start an international campaign to promote imports from sweatshops, perhaps with bold labels depicting an unrecognizable flag and the words 'Proudly Made in a Third World Sweatshop.'"
Now Kristof laments that too few poor, young African men have the opportunity to enter the satanic mill of sweatshop employment. Like his earlier efforts, Kristof's latest pro-sweatshop ditty synthesizes plenty of half-truths.
Part of John's response:
Kristof's argument is no excuse for sweatshop abuse: that conditions are worse elsewhere does nothing to alleviate the suffering of workers in export factories. They are often denied the right to organize, subjected to unsafe working conditions and to verbal, physical, and sexual abuse, forced to work overtime, coerced into pregnancy tests and even abortions, and paid less than a living wage. It remains useful and important to combat these conditions even if alternative jobs are worse yet.
The fact that young men in Namibia find sweatshop jobs appealing testifies to how harsh conditions are for workers in Africa, not the desirability of export factory employment.
The whole article is worth a read, though it's dismaying that we still have to be making these arguments. Someone needs to take away Kristof's passport before he spreads his apologetics to even more corners of the earth.

About IWP
Welcome to The Institute of World Politics, a graduate school founded to fill a major national need: to supply professional education in statecraft, national security, and international affairs offered nowhere else.
By teaching all the arts of statecraft and how they are integrated into national strategy, we emphasize the development of a capacity to think strategically. We believe that when governments resort to force, it is often a sign of the failure to use the many non-military instruments of power effectively.
Here, the study of statecraft rests on a foundational curriculum of selected liberal arts that, today, are seldom mastered sufficiently for purposes of successful professional work in the most dangerous and sensitive functions of government.
A key element of our philosophy is our concern with character development: specifically, the cultivation of those personal and civic virtues that are optimally suited to producing the moral and ethical conduct of our nation's highest public policy priority - national security.
It is a cornerstone of our curriculum that one cannot effectively defend a country and civilization that one neither fully understands nor appreciates. In a nation where all who are responsible for the defense of our country must take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, patriotism is an absolute requirement for the profession. The question, then, is whether that patriotism is to be primitive and tenuous or well informed and morally ordered.
The Institute of World Politics is dedicated to the education and formation of the next generation of leaders who understand the harsh realities of the world and who are fully intellectually and morally equipped to defend our country and civilization - men and women committed to a cause greater than themselves.

Are these brackets hydraulic or manual? How much do they cost? Good looking boat.
posted 06-16-2001 06:23 PM ET (US)
Both are manual. On mine (the top pictures) you loosen the 2 bolts on each side then adjust the height with the single large bolt (jack screw) underneath.
Regarding price, the one-piece units start at $197 for the CMC 5-1/2" unit and go up from there.
Here's some examples of manual unit prices found at Cabelas:
I actually bought my Rite-Hite 8" off of eBay for $202.
The transom support plate was $15-20.

Great looking boat! Question about the new engine. Why are some Ficht's blue / black and some are white?
posted 06-18-2001 09:50 AM ET (US)
When I bought this engine I was told that the white engines are the "Saltwater Series". After looking into it the salesman told me that the only difference is some stainless piece on the steering arm and that the white one cost a couple of hundred dollars more. The blue one still has the direct connect hose flush outlet on the back.

Very nice bracket installation work, both boats. I like the Rite Hite unit combined with the Mercury engine.

Two *fabulous* Montauks!! Barry, I'm excited to see the Stiletto went to a great home - I hope it works out. Rex, having had a Montauk with a 100 hp Merc, and knowing that it would do around 45 mph, I have to believe that without too much effort, you could tune your rig up to run well in excess of 50...might be a little airy, though...

Buddy had a 17 montauk with a 140hp Evinrude jacked up. The boat did about 55mph but would chine walk sooo bad and it would take a 1/2 mile to turn around. I thought about a jack plate, Bob's Hydraulic used for $300 and a low water pickup but I do not want to molest my Montauk. Besides speed , how shallow can you run compared to stock? I figure I need about what 14" or so on plane stock with the engine up about an inch on the transom?

Pate Plastics made (and still makes) the fibreglas tank for the Montauks. You can get them in Whaler Tan or White. The C-24 or C-27 models will fit under the RPS. They are expensive (close to $300 with shipping if my memory is correct). They will ship but, you have to send them a check first.

regarding the stern seat,I have a copy of the factory plans for the Eastport stern seat. Email me if interested. What you see in Rex's boat looks a little more like the bench seats used in the Supersport (which I had and sold off when I built a console) Those were--and I expect Rex's is--glued up 5/4 mahogany. Teak might be awfully pricy. A plank of those dimensions can span the boat unsupported. With a tight fit the seat does not want to travel very much and would need only a very simple backet and a few screws into the side of the hull. If I were glueing up something like that I would use a spline set into kerfs in the face of the joined butts for greater strength.

I'm curious about your Bimini top. It looks high enough to stand under. How high is it? Are the bows stainless also? Can you tell us where you purchased it?
It looks like you have it mounted to not directly to the hull but to wood; what is that about?
posted 07-01-2001 04:58 PM ET (US)
Sorry about the delay. I was out of town soaking up the Mexican sun. No Whalers seen there but I did sail on a Hobie Cat.
Anyway, The rear thwart seat was made out of 5/4" mahogany. It is 60" wide and is about 12 - 14" fore & aft. It consists of two pieces with dowels and then it was glued together. It is great for sitting or mainly I use it to stand on to fish. Plus it hides most of the engine wires, fuel filter, etc.. I am thinking about cutting two holes in it to mount flush mount rod holders through it.
The bimini top is mounted on the inner lips and has an aluminum track (no wood) which allows the position to be adjusted fore & aft about 10". I stow it laying down forward with the boot on it. During the cooler time of year I will take it off and stow it in the garage. I had it made by a local boat canvas shop in Seabrook Texas. I had it made to where it gives good headroom but doesn't look too funny being tall. I think a person 6'2" could still stand under it in the middle. If you make it too tall the looks are worse and it shakes around too much when running. I run a short piece of thick monofilamant line from the top center down to the top of the console rail to keep it from shaking as much when running.

Luis, any jackplate that has a 5" setback should allow you to run that 15" shaft motor on the 20" transom. You can adjust jackplate so that motor mounting bracket is at top of transom and this will give you a 5" rise (anti-cavitation plate should be about 5" above keel). You can start there and it should work fine! See my 13 Alert with 20" transom and 15" shaft 40 Mariner on a 10" set-back at Cetacea page 28. Happy Whalin'... Clark... Spruce Creek Navy
PS>keep an eye on cooling water flow and a Doel-Fin may help keep a lid on the prop...
