Lil Community: Should I Get the Bugaboo Wheeled Board?
Like us on Facebook
I'm debating whether or not to purchase the Bugaboo wheelboard and was wondering if any other moms out there have any opinion on whether or not it's worth purchasing. I have an older Bugaboo Bee that I used for my oldest child who's now three and I have a soon to be 6-month-old for whom I use the carriage. My 3-year-old is pretty good about walking, but sometimes he gets lazy. So I was wondering if the wheelboard is worth spending the money?

vibe & verve rear wheel
Replacement rear wheel for your vibe or verve buggy including rim, tyre (tire), inner tube and bearings.
vibe/verve axles used to secure the rear wheel to your buggy are available to order separately.
Rubbish as always
Written by: Dave
Mánudagur 20 Október 20141/5
As with everything I've bought from phil and teds this item was disappointing. The inner tube was damaged so I had to order another inner tube. Luckily, this time the tyre came off without too much stretching so I was able to use the same tyre when the extra inner tube came and not buy a new tyre which I often have to do when changing an inner tube.
faulty goods

Miðvikudagur 08 Október 20141/5
I bought 2 new rear wheels to replace the ones that had punctures. I used the buggy twice and now one of the new wheels has a puncture. I can't afford to buy new wheels every week! I am not over loading the buggy (I have a 5 week old baby and a 3 year old who very rarely gets in it). This is not the first time I have encountered this problem with phil & ted's and I don't know why they don't move to gel wheels to avoud this issue.
Thanks %user_name%

MORRISTOWN - In November a new program will begin at Morristown Central School designed to help students recover when theyre behind on their studies.
The general concept is that were not going to allow students to take zeros, Principal Jeffrey M. Durant said. A lot of times students do homework and they get a zero and theyre fine with it. Were going to make sure theyre held accountable.
The program, which hasnt been given a name yet, will keep kids in grades three through nine who are behind on their homework after school for an hour on Thursday afternoons in order to give them a chance to catch up.
Mr. Durant said its all about giving them that extra time, extra quiet space for them to work.
Approved by the district board of education at the Wednesday night meeting the program will see two teachers staying after school with students to give them additional guidance.
Throughout the week teachers will keep track of who isnt staying on top of their work and on Wednesdays they will report that data to the principals office to prepare for Thursdays session.
Were hoping they will take the opportunity to receive some sort of credit for back work to gain success, Mr. Durant said. Its not detention.
The program is similar to the Opportunity Room that operated at the district several years ago.
Board of Education Member Mary Anne Bailey said, My kid got snafued a couple times and I think thats good because we need to do that.
I thought it was great, personally, when my kid could be caught, Ms. Bailey said, adding that it was helpful to keep them caught up at school. Thats the benefit of a small school. Everybody knows you.
Mr. Durant said the Opportunity Room name could be resurrected if thats what people wanted but said he has been focused on the function of the program rather than its title.
If we dont catch [students] up sooner rather than later, he said, theyre just going to fall further and further behind.
While the program will not be mandatory, Mr. Durant said parents will be notified when their children fall behind and when the school thinks the extra homework time could be helpful.
Busing will be provided for the students who do stay.
In total the program will cost the district less than $10,000, Superintendent David J. Glover said. The program was approved by the board of education with Board Member James Michaels opposing it.

Hey Ya! (mal)
Interesting news this weekend. Apparently everything we've done in our entire careers is a "MASSIVE lie" (sic) because all of radiative physics, climate history, the instrumental record, modeling and satellite observations turn out to be based on 12 trees in an obscure part of Siberia. Who knew?
Indeed, according to both the National Review and the Daily Telegraph (and who would not trust these sources?), even Al Gore's use of the stair lift in An Inconvenient Truth was done to highlight cherry-picked tree rings, instead of what everyone thought was the rise in CO2 concentrations in the last 200 years.
Who should we believe? Al Gore with his "facts" and "peer reviewed science" or the practioners of "Blog Science"? Surely, the choice is clear….
More seriously, many of you will have noticed yet more blogarrhea about tree rings this week. The target de jour is a particular compilation of trees (called a chronology in dendro-climatology) that was first put together by two Russians, Hantemirov and Shiyatov, in the late 1990s (and published in 2002). This multi-millennial chronology from Yamal (in northwestern Siberia) was painstakingly collected from hundreds of sub-fossil trees buried in sediment in the river deltas. They used a subset of the 224 trees they found to be long enough and sensitive enough (based on the interannual variability) supplemented by 17 living tree cores to create a "Yamal" climate record.
A preliminary set of this data had also been used by Keith Briffa in 2000 (pdf) (processed using a different algorithm than used by H&S for consistency with two other northern high latitude series), to create another "Yamal" record that was designed to improve the representation of long-term climate variability.
Since long climate records with annual resolution are few and far between, it is unsurprising that they get used in climate reconstructions. Different reconstructions have used different methods and have made different selections of source data depending on what was being attempted. The best studies tend to test the robustness of their conclusions by dropping various subsets of data or by excluding whole classes of data (such as tree-rings) in order to see what difference they make so you won't generally find that too much rides on any one proxy record (despite what you might read elsewhere).
So along comes Steve McIntyre, self-styled slayer of hockey sticks, who declares without any evidence whatsoever that Briffa didn't just reprocess the data from the Russians, but instead supposedly picked through it to give him the signal he wanted. These allegations have been made without any evidence whatsoever.

The Aim of This Study is to Determine the Effectiveness of a Motivational Enhancement Intervention in Reducing Risk Behaviors (Drug and Alcohol Use, Sexual Risk Behavior, Poor Adherence to Medications) Among HIV+ Youth. - 1

The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot study of Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), an empirically validated behavioral change strategy, with young adults who are HIV +. The aim is to determine if MET is effective in increasing general health promotion behaviors, adherence to HIV+ specific medical treatment over and above taking medication, and decreasing risky behaviors in young adults who are HIV positive. The longer-term objective is to identify and way to decrease HIV transmission rates, disease progression, illness episodes, and hospitalizations in this high-risk population.
Hypotheses: 1)Youth receiving the motivational intervention plus referrals will report greater reductions in risky behaviors than youth in the control group receiving standard care plus referrals at 3-months post-baseline. This hypothesis will first be tested in the whole sample using an overall risk index. Then, the hypothesis will be tested with each behavior (reduced drug and alcohol use, condom use, taking medications,) within the subgroups reporting problem levels of that behavior; 2)Youth in the intervention group will demonstrate improved viral loads, will report greater improvement in perceived health status, depression, general psychological distress, disclosure to sexual partners, and will demonstrate greater attendance of medical and support service appointments than youth in the control group at 3 months post-baseline; 3)Youth in the intervention group will report greater reductions in temptation to engage in risky behaviors, increased self-efficacy, and improvements in readiness to change their behavior than youth in the control group at 3 months post-baseline; 4)The differences between the intervention and control group from pre- to post- intervention will be maintained at 6, 9, 12, and 15 months post-baseline (3, 6, 9, and 12 months after intervention completion).

Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Motivational Enhancement Therapy to Reduce Risk Behaviors in HIV Infected Youth
- Reduction of Risk Behaviors (Sexual, Drug, & Health), Viral Burden & CD4+ T Cell Count

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|January 2002
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|June 2004
The proposed study is a randomized clinical trial with a wait-list control. The sample will be 60 HIV+ young adults between the ages of 16 to 24 years recruited from the DMC Horizons Project and other community based HIV programs. Self referred persons meeting the diagnostic criteria of HIV+ will also be accepted. There are no exclusion criteria. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: MET NOW or MET LATER. MET LATER is the wait list control group. The only difference between the groups is the timing of the intervention and data collection. All subjects will complete 5 research visits and 4 MET therapy sessions. Research visits consists of an interview, completion of self-report questionnaires, a 20cc blood drawn for complete blood count (CBC), viral load and CD4 count, and adherence rating completed by the physician. Established questionnaires are used to measure health behaviors, sexual risk behaviors, substance use, self-efficacy, stage of change, social support, health beliefs, and mental health status. Research visits take about 1 = hours. Therapy sessions consist of MET provided by a trained therapist. Sessions last about 1 hour and focus on changing behavior to improve health, increase medical adherence, and/or reduce risk. Subjects choose the behaviors they want to change. There are a total of 4 sessions over 3 months. The MET NOW group will begin session immediately after the first (baseline) research visit and the MET LATER group will begin therapy sessions approximately 9 months after the first research visit. All subjects will be paid $25.00 for the first research visit with a $5 increase for each subsequent research visit, a total of $175.00 for the 5 research visits. Subjects will receive $10 gift certificate at each therapy session. Cab vouchers or parking fees will be provided for each therapy or research session.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|16 Years to 24 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- A sample of 60 HIV+youth, ages 16-24, will be recruited from the four health care sites in the Michigan Title IV Project.
Exclusion Criteria:
- In order to increase the likelihood that the current intervention will be easily transportable to real world settings, exclusion criteria are kept to a minimum. No exclusions will be made due to co-morbid mental health problems ( i.e. ADHD, conduct disorder, depression, anxiety disorder), with the exception of thought disorder (i.e. schizophrenia, autism). It is assumed that severe psychosis in conjunction with HIV may require management strategies beyond the scope of the MET interventions (i.e. residential placement). As resources are not available in the current grant to hire and train therapists who are bilingual or translate study questionnaires/measures, subjects will required to speak English fluently. Hispanic or Arabic families who meet this criterion will be included in the study. Currently, all clients at the clinic sites meet this last criterion.

Fatter, deeper, and smoother stainless steel bass strings wound on round cores.
Marcus Miller signature Fat Beams were designed for Marcus' exacting standards. Marcus Miller is a pioneer in electric bass who has worked with Miles Davis, served as a producer for "Night Music," developed an extensive resume as a producer in L.A., and has played on more than 200 records.
Marcus Miller worked with DR to develop a new and improved version of one of the best stainless round wound bass strings on the market. The effort took over a year, and the result is a "fatter, deeper, smoother" string that satisfied Marcus Miller's demanding standard. Fatter tone. Deeper sound, smoother feel and response are the qualities that separate Marcus Miller "Fat-Beams" from all other ordinary bass strings. New "Fat-Beams" are also more consistent in feel along the length of the string, as well as string to string.
Gauges 30-45-65-85-105-130.

Sheriff John P. Burns is due to give a finalized report about personnel matters within his department tonight at a special session of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators.
The meeting was called by Chairwoman Carolyn D. Fitzpatrick, who is describing the proceedings, expected to be in executive session and closed to the public, as a discussion among the board, the sheriff and county attorney David J. Paulsen.
I want everyone to hear the same thing at the same time, she said.
Asked whether the sheriffs findings will be delivered in a written or oral format, Mrs. Fitzpatrick said that was up to the sheriff but she would like to see a written report.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick said she did not know what the outcome of the meeting would be.
The agenda, released late Friday afternoon, said the purpose of the meeting is to further address certain personnel matters within the Sheriffs Department and consider appropriate actions to be taken as a result.
If the board decides that action has to be taken on a particular issue, legislators will come out of the executive session to vote in accordance with the law.
Whether or not we make any choices, well see, Mrs. Fitzpatrick said.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the Board of Legislators chambers, 195 Arsenal St.
Mr. Burns last appeared before the board Jan. 8 during the first legislative session of 2013. The sheriffs conversation with the board at that point was an update on problems within the department, according to Mrs. Fitzpatrick. A follow-up session was scheduled for two weeks later.
The meeting is being called a special session only because it was not already scheduled on the legislative calendar.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick said that in her time as a county legislator, she has seen more than three, less than a dozen such sessions called.
Mr. Burns, who has been contending with a variety of incidents of misconduct in his department, was the subject of renewed attention over the last week after it was revealed that a nurse hired to care for inmates at the county jail was illegally accessing electronic medical records of non-inmate patients using her access to Samaritan Medical Centers Meditech system.
The latter part of the week saw Mr. Burns giving media interviews to defend his track record. He also was scheduled to appear on Mayor Jeffrey E. Grahams noon hour Hotline radio show Friday, but then declined without giving a reason, according to Mr. Grahams blog.
On Friday, the Jefferson County district attorneys office took exception to the way Mr. Burns had presented its involvement in the decision on how to charge Deputy Adam B. Hallett, cited with having an open alcoholic beverage container in his patrol vehicle.

When we opened the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens in 2006, we knew we wanted our menu to feature the highest quality ingredients, and beef was no exception. We knew very little about the beef industry, but once we did our homework, we chose grass-fed/grass-finished beef because it's all-natural, healthy, and most importantly—it's freakin' delicious!
In case you're wondering, there is a difference between grass-fed beef and grass-fed/grass-finished beef. The majority of cattle are grass-fed at some point, but it's the final months of their lives that really make the difference. Most cattle are shipped to feed lots and fed grain in their final months to fatten them up, which alters their flavor. We predominantly serve beef that has been grass-fed throughout its entire life cycle, hence grass-fed/grass-finished (the one exception is our Prime Rib Melt, which uses all-natural grass-fed/grain-finished Meyer's beef to achieve a different flavor).
Today, grass-fed/grass-finished beef could draw similarities to the earlier days of craft beer. There were folks that wanted it, but distributors and retailers often felt there wasn't sufficient demand to make it available. "Grass-fed/grass-finished was an item we were looking into anyway because of the recent industry leaning towards more naturally raised beef," said Jonathan Sachs from Hamilton Meats, "but there was no interest from any of our current clients to justify offering the product."
That was about to change, as consumers and restaurants became interested in grass-fed/grass-finished beef. Together with three other local restaurants, including our good friend Jay Porter, proprietor of The Linkery in North Park, we were able to raise demand enough for Hamilton Meats to offer grass-fed/grass-finished beef.
Most of our beef now comes from verdant pastures thanks to Tallgrass Beef, a company dedicated to all-natural, great-tasting grass-fed/grass-finished beef. Their cattle live stress-free, roaming freely and eating lush natural grasses throughout their lives. Brad Schoenberg, Vice President of Sales & Business Development at Tallgrass Beef, gave us the rundown on why grass-fed/grass-finished is a good way to go:
"The most important thing that people should know about grass-fed/grass-finished is that it is good for the animal…but the health and nutritional benefit for us is the real key. Tallgrass Beef contains a higher level of omega 3′s, high levels of Conjugated Linoleic Acids (an anti-carcinogen), and is lower in saturated fats and cholesterol."
Brad poses an interesting question—"Can you imagine your doctor telling you to eat more beef?" While it may be difficult to imagine a medical professional advocating increased consumption of beef, it's not difficult to imagine your tongue advocating increased consumption of grass-fed/grass-finished beef. Sure it's healthy and at the top of the ethical and environmental scales, but just as important–it's damn good.

Well, at least on mobile platforms. Some of you may remember Puddle as an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network game released earlier this year. This is essentially the same game in portable form — a game developed as a downloadable console title, powered by a tablet.
The processing power required to simulate fluid dynamics in real time is what makes Puddle a Tegra 3 exclusive, though I get the feeling there may have been a little wheeling and dealing in the background here — Puddle is still listed on the Neko Entertainment website under iPhone / iPad. Fluids are rather processor intensive, however, especially when you're tasked with guiding a wide variety of liquids, from water to rocket fuel, through obstacle-laden courses that threaten to evaporate, absorb, or ignite you at every turn.
Levels range from controlled laboratory experiments to industrial engines; from overgrown gardens to the inside of a human body. It's a colorful and challenging journey through life in liquid form.
The game can be controlled by tilting the device (in this case an Asus Transformer Prime tablet), but Puddle truly shines when controlled via USB or Bluetooth game pads. With a pair of analog sticks under your thumbs it's easy to forget that you're playing the game on a mobile device. Connect your tablet or phone to a television and you might as well be booting up your Xbox.
There is power behind Tegra 3 gaming, and with Google's first branded tablet hitting the market this month, more and more people will be eschewing their consoles and iPads for the Android experience. Puddle THD will be waiting.

Flashback: John Tortorella Should Coach The Rangers (April 5, 2000)
Following the dismissal of John Muckler as head coach and Neil Smith as GM at the end of the 1999-2000, the Rangers gave assistant coach John Tortorella the job of interim head coach to finish out the final four games of the season.
The New York Daily News wrote on April 5, 2000 that Tortorella was the right man to lead the Rangers.
Brian Leetch said at the time "I think he can be a head coach. He's got a great understanding of the game and he's a very emotional person. He's going to get a chance sometime. I don't know what they're going to decide here. But certainly, if he was the one they decided was best, I'd certainly endorse John being around."
Petr Nedved said that he couldn't guarantee wins with Tortorella as the coach "But I think they would give him a hard 60 minutes every night and that's what we need." He added "next year, I think he would be a really good coach here" and "personally, I have fun playing for him. I think that he's a fair guy and I think that the guys would love to play for him.
Glen Sather was hired to be GM and Ron Low as head coach.
Tortorella left the organization to become associate coach with Tampa Bay before taking over as head coach.

MANNSVILLE The village governments future will be decided Tuesday as residents vote on whether to dissolve into the town of Ellisburg.
Interviews with village and town residents and officials indicate mixed opinions, with nostalgia and a certain skepticism of the advertised tax savings weighing on many minds. The votes outcome may hang on which age groups turn out to the polls.
Mayor Lori Cashel, who is running unopposed Tuesday and could end up being the villages last mayor, did not want to guess how the decision will go, acknowledging, Im not so sure what Im going to do when I get in there to vote.
The vote follows a study of dissolutions impact and months of public forums. Ms. Cashel said the study process helped inform residents about what dissolution would mean for taxes and services.
The Board of Trustees and the Zoning Board would be disbanded. The village clerks job and a village public works position would be eliminated.
While base tax rates would drop substantially for village residents, services such as leaf pickup, hydrant flushing and Christmas decorating would be lost. Also eliminated would be snow plowing at places like the Mannsville Volunteer Fire Department. Village residents still would pay for streetlights and the water projects debt.
Dissolution would take effect May 31, 2014.
Thered be a sadness with that, Ms. Cashel said. If its what the residents of the village want, thats whats most important to me.
The village of 354 residents, as of the 2010 Census, was incorporated in 1879 and has seen its population remain stable during the last 50 years.
Discussing the matter at his shop just outside the village limits on March 5, James J. Joyner voiced hope the village would not dissolve.
A member of the villages dissolution committee and lifelong resident, Mr. Joyner expressed skepticism about savings the change would produce.
We might save a little bit of money, but its not going to be substantial, he said.
Mr. Joyner added residents would not realize the level of services the village offers until they were gone, and he hoped they would vote.
Reached by phone Friday, Kenneth R. Gerni, chief of the Mannsville Volunteer Fire Department, showed concern the town may not cover the $4,000 the village provided to supplement its budget.
If dissolution goes through, there would have to be some changes, he said, such as more fundraisers.
Mr. Gerni said the consensus he saw was the village would not dissolve.
The town and village areas base taxes would drop with dissolution because of employee and overhead cost reductions and the state Citizen Empowerment Tax Credit created in 2011. The aid is worth about 15 percent of the combined village and town budget, or about $136,000 per year. State rules require 70 percent of the aid be used for property tax relief.
Including the state credit, the villages tax rate could fall from $5.40 per $1,000 of assessed value to $2.90, a 45 percent reduction. In the town, the credit would push base rates from $2.40 to $1.90, a 20 percent drop.
Some around the village and town have expressed concern about the credits longevity. A spokesman for the state Department of State wrote in an email message Friday that language in the legislation stipulates annual payments as long as money is available.
Without the credit, the villages tax rate will be $3.10 and the towns rate will be $2.50.
Lawrence J. Rudd, owner of Rudds Family Maple Syrup, just outside the village, said Friday he does not oppose dissolution, adding the village is limited in the services it can offer.
I dont think its going to be that big of an issue, he said. For some people, they fear change, just like anybody else. The times are moving on.
Mr. Rudd, of the third generation to live on his familys farm, will not be able to vote Tuesday.
If the village dissolves, it will join a handful of villages that have made a similar move in the last three years, including Altmar, Edwards, Seneca Falls, Perrysburg, Randolph and East Randolph. However, multiple communities, such as Chaumont, have defeated dissolution proposals.
Henry M. Colby, town councilman and a dissolution committee member, said after the councils March 7 meeting there would be no complaints from the council if the village dissolved.
Mr. Colby said he had noticed somewhat of a split along age lines, with older residents interested in maintaining the village and younger people less vocal about the change.
Itll be interesting to see whether they vote with their pocketbook or their sentiment, he said.
A village government-created website explains how the village functions and positions that would cease or merge with the town. It can be viewed at www.cgr.org/private_mannsville/index.aspx.
In other elections, Jonny Boenning, James T. Pelton and Rebecca Reed will appear on the ballot for two vacant village Board of Trustees seats. Polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m. at the village office, 106 Lilac Park Drive.
Other villages voting on dissolution Tueday will be Victory and Champlain.

You broght a lot of people to the chat? That's great! You did not insulted anyone? That's even better. Hopefully, that will be the case when you run into one of your little crisis, and you will know how to handle it. More so, hopefully some of those will become new memmbers of Ljr.
I'm tired of this. Do what you will. I don't care anymore. Keep living in your little world where you are a victim and everyone else is out to get you.

Harvard Business School grad, Sara Jane Ho, is running a one-woman gang to clean China of bad manners. The 27-year-old is giving classes to the unwashed masses:
Converting Beijing's nouveau riche will be no small task. At an introductory lesson, female students drove up in a convoy of Maseratis, Ferraris and Bentleys, then emerged in a maelstrom of fur and diamonds. Their nails were so ornate they had difficulty handling the cutlery.
'In Hong Kong and London, it is all about subtlety,' explains Sara Jane. 'In Beijing, I will go out for lunch with a girlfriend and she will have a big Marc Jacobs ring that you open up and it's a lip balm. When I go out to socialite events in Beijing and I put on minimal make-up, they say, "Darling, you didn't put make-up on today. Are you feeling OK?" '
Multi-millionaire's wife Zaozao Jiang, one of her new students, says the shocking manners of her fellow countrymen have almost driven her abroad. 'I simply can't abide people who pick their noses, spit and talk too loudly,' complains the glamorous 30-year-old Beijing socialite.
I talk too loudly, I wonder if I should roll into one of Ms. Ho's classes?

The 115 cardinal-electors of the 1.2 billion-member Roman Catholic Church, meeting in conclave for the second day on March 13, elected Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, to become the church's 266th pope.
When the traditional puff of white smoke — signaling that a pope had been elected — rose from the Sistine Chapel chimney at 7:06 p.m. on Wednesday, Rome time, a wave of excitement stirred through the crowd of tens of thousands gathered in the rain in St. Peter's Square to await the announcement and first appearance by the new pontiff.
Flags of many nations waved amidst the crowd, along with homemade signs reading "Habemus papam!" ("We have a Pope" in Latin) and "Viva il Papa!" ("Long Live the Pope," in Italian).
Following the announcement by the Cardinal Protodeacon Jean-Louis Tauran, in Latin, that Cardinal Bergoglio had been chosen, and that the new pope had chosen the name Francis, a chant of "Francesco!" resounded across the piazza.
"I would like to thank you for your embrace," said the new pope from the balcony on St. Peter's Basilica overlooking the Piazza. "My brother cardinals have chosen one who is from far away, but here I am."
The New York Times reported that as he blessed the faithful, Francis asked the audience in Italian to "pray for me, and we'll see each other soon."
The world's news media and Vatican observers immediately commented on several firsts signified by this selection: Bergoglio was the first pope to take on the name Francis, the first from the New World, the first Jesuit, and the first non-European pope since the Syrian-born Pope Gregory III, who served from 731-741.
Though Cardinal Bergoglio was reportedly the runner-up in votes to then-Cardinal Ratzinger during the conclave of 2005, he was not among the likely candidates named by most Vatican watchers to succeed Pope Benedict XVI. After having largely ignored the cardinal from Buenos Aires, the world scrambled to learn more about the man who had just become pope.

When will I receive my financial aid?
We will start applying financial aid to your account after school starts. Scholarships and grants will be applied to your account approximately five days after the last day to add classes. If you have an institutional loan, you first must sign a promissory note before the funds can be applied to your account. The promissory note will be mailed to you by the Financial Aid Office. If you have a Direct Loan you will sign a Master Promissory Note online at the Federal Student Aid website.
What should I do if I do not have enough financial aid to pay for school?
You can contact our office at 601.925.3212 to see if there are any other financial aid options available to you. You should also contact the Business Office to discuss payment plan options which may be available. Your parent can apply for a Parent Plus loan at the Federal Student Aid website.
Do I have to be a full time student to receive my financial aid?
You must be a full time student to receive institutional scholarships. To receive a Direct Loan, undergraduate students must enroll for six hours and graduate students must enroll for at least four semester hours. The amount of a Pell Grant will vary depending on the number of hours you take. You must also be a full time student to receive MTAG, MESG, SSIG, HELP, William Winter and the Critical Needs Teacher Scholarship.
What if I have been awarded a Direct Loan, but I have not received my master promissory note?
You will not be sent a paper copy of the Master Promissory Note. It is completed online.
If I move off campus will my financial aid be affected?
Moving off campus will not affect your federal or state financial aid. However, all institutional scholarships will be reduced by 50% for students who choose to live off campus unless otherwise noted. Students who are 21 years of age or younger must live in a residence hall or at home with parents. Students 21–23 years of age who elect to live off campus, and not at home with parents, will lose all institutional scholarships.
Will I be able to use my scholarships for summer school?
Institutional scholarships are not awarded for summer school.
Do I have to apply for financial aid every year?
You must reapply every year for federal or state financial aid. Institutional scholarships are automatically awarded if you meet the GPA requirement.
If I receive a bill and my financial aid is not showing on it, what should I do?
Please contact our office at 601.925.3212 to make sure you have done everything necessary in order for your funds to be applied to your account. Don't assume that it will eventually be put on your account. The Financial Aid Counselor will be glad to review your file to make sure everything is in order.
How do I apply for the Mississippi Tuition Assistance (MTAG) and Mississippi Eminent Scholar Grant (MESG) (Mississippi residents only)?
To apply for MTAG/MESG you must submit an application to the State Student Financial Aid Office at the Institutions of Higher Learning. You must apply each year at www.ihl.state.ms.us/financialaid/default.asp. The State Student Financial Aid Office will determine your eligibility and send the award information to MC.
What does cost of attendance mean?
Coast of Attendance is also known as the budget. Federal regulation requires the financial aid office to provide cost of attendance budget for students applying for federal financial aid. The cost of attendance budget contains the tuition, fees, room, board, transportation, books and personal items. For students living on campus the tuition, fees, room, and board are the actual costs to attend Mississippi College. The other items on the list are estimated costs. The student does not actually pay for these items. These items are put in the budget, so a student may be able to receive financial aid to offset some of the costs.

Tree of Smoke: A Novelby Denis Johnson
2007 National Book Award for Fiction
Staff Pick
Ambition doesn't always translate into success, which is why some books that take authors nearly ten years to write become massive paperweights. Then there's Tree of Smoke, Denis Johnson's first novel in nine years and an unconditional masterpiece. This hypnotic modern epic brings the Vietnam War into sharp relief in a story that is equal parts Graham Greene, Robert Stone, and pure Denis Johnson, as only the acclaimed author of Jesus' Son, Fiskadoro, and The Name of the World could deliver. Curl up with this disturbing, compelling, unforgettable novel
"Having read nothing by Denis Johnson except Tree of Smoke, his latest novel, I see no reason to consider him a great or even a good writer....One closes the book only with a renewed sense of the decline of American literary standards. It would be foolish to demand another Tolstoy, but shouldn't we expect someone writing about the Vietnam War to have more sense and eloquence than the politicians who prosecuted it?" B. R. Myers, The Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic Monthly review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Once upon a time there was a war...and a young American who thought of himself as the Quiet American and the Ugly American, and who wished to be neither, who wanted instead to be the Wise American, or the Good American, but who eventually came to witness himself as the Real American and finally as simply the Fucking American. That's me.
This is the story of Skip Sands — spy-in-training, engaged in Psychological Operations against the Vietcong — and the disasters that befall him thanks to his famous uncle, a war hero known in intelligence circles simply as the Colonel. This is also the story of the Houston brothers, Bill and James, young men who drift out of the Arizona desert into a war in which the line between disinformation and delusion has blurred away. In its vision of human folly, and its gritty, sympathetic portraits of men and women desperate for an end to their loneliness, whether in sex or death or by the grace of God, this is a story like nothing in our literature.
Tree of Smoke is Denis Johnson's first full-length novel in nine years, and his most gripping, beautiful, and powerful work to date.
"'Signature Review by Michael Coffey If this novel, Johnson's first in nearly a decade, is — as the promo copy says — about Skip Sands, it's also about his uncle, a legendary CIA operative; Kathy Jones, a widowed, saintly Canadian nurse; Trung, a North Vietnamese spy; and the Houston brothers, Bill and James, misguided GIs who haunt the story's periphery. And it's also about Sgt. Jimmy Storm, whose existence seems to be one long vision quest. As with all of Johnson's work — the stories in Jesus' Son, novels like Resuscitation of a Hanged Man and Fiskadoro — the real point is the possibility of grace in a world of total mystery and inexplicable suffering. In Johnson's honest world, no one story dominates.For all the story lines, the structure couldn't be simpler: each year, from 1963 (the book opens in the Philippines: 'Last night at 3:00 a.m. President Kennedy had been killed') to 1970, gets its own part, followed by a coda set in 1983. Readers familiar with the Vietnam War will recognize its arc — the Tet offensive (65 harrowing pages here); the deaths of Martin Luther King and RFK; the fall of Saigon, swift and seemingly foreordained. Skip is a CIA recruit working under his uncle, Francis X. Sands, known as the Colonel. Skip is mostly in the dark, awaiting direction, living under an alias and falling in love with Kathy while the Colonel deals in double agents, Bushmills whiskey and folk history. He's a soldier-scholar pursuing theories of how to purify an information stream; he bloviates in gusts of sincerity and blasphemy, all of it charming. A large cast of characters, some colorful, some vaguely chalked, surround this triad, and if Tree of Smoke has a flaw, it is that some characters are virtually indistinguishable. Given the covert nature of much of the goings-on, perhaps it is necessary that characters become blurred. 'We're on the cutting edge of reality itself,' says Storm. 'Right where it turns into a dream.'Is this our last Vietnam novel? One has to wonder. What serious writer, after tuning in to Johnson's terrifying, dissonant opera, can return with a fresh ear? The work of many past chroniclers — Graham Greene, Tim O'Brien, the filmmakers Coppola,Cimino and Kubrick, all of whom have contributed to our cultural 'understanding' of the war — is both evoked and consumed in the fiery heat of Johnson's story. In the novel's coda, Storm, a war clich now way gone and deep in the Malaysian jungle near Thailand, attends preparations for a village's sacrificial bonfire (consisting of personal items smashed and axed by their owners) and offers himself as 'compensation, baby.' When the book ends, in a heartbreaking soliloquy from Kathy (fittingly, a Canadian) on the occasion of a war orphan benefit in a Minneapolis Radisson, you feel that America's Vietnam experience has been brought to a closure that's as good as we'll ever get. Michael Coffey is PW's executive managing editor.' Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)"
"What's amazing is that Mr. Johnson somehow manages to take these derivative elements and turn them into something highly original — and potent....[A] flawed but deeply resonant novel that is bound to become one of the classic works of literature produced by that tragic and uncannily familiar war." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Tree of Smoke, Johnson's sixth novel and his first in almost a decade, is his best to date. It's ambitious and perfectly executed, a vivid and continuous dream, and nothing short of a masterpiece." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[A] tremendous book, a strange entertainment, very long but very fast, a great whirly ride....Tree of Smoke is a massive thing and something like a masterpiece; it's the product of an extraordinary writer in full stride." Jim Lewis, The New York Times Book Review
"Ugly and fascinating, with many shattering scenes, this long work may seem familiar to fans of Apocalypse Now but is nevertheless gripping." Library Journal
"An amazingly talented writer....We can hear Twain in his biting irony, Whitman in his erotic excess, not a little of Dashiell Hammett too in the hard sentences he throws back at his gouged, wounded world." Vince Passaro, Newsday
"The fierce, lucid detachment of Tree of Smoke would make Soren Kierkegaard proud. Johnson, a poet and novelist who lives in northern Idaho, has written the best work of his career, an existential tour de force." Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Long, rich, dazzling, Tree of Smoke should finally establish [Johnson] among the most profound and truly humane American novelists extant....Tree of Smoke is a great read, an amazing achievement." San Diego Union-Tribune
"[T]he writing is always beautiful. Still...mostly what we get here is a sense of being on the outside, which — in Johnson's universe, anyway — has never been enough." The Los Angeles Times
"[A] big book, a story that works in the best ways a big book can — a multipronged tale, told in a straight-ahead chapter-by-chapter chronology, clear and light-bearing as a great tale, something like Lonesome Dove for the Tet Offensive set." Esquire
"[A] complex and hypnotic vision, apocalyptic in its power and in its ability to move the reader." Denver Post
"Dialogue crackles and burns a hole in your soul." Providence Journal
Twenty-five years in the making, a dark, indelible epic of the American empire in decline from the author of Jesus' Son, "one of the best and most compelling novelists in the nation" (Elle).

Twenty-five years in the making, a dark, indelible epic of the American empire in decline from the author of Jesus' Son, "one of the best and most compelling novelists in the nation" (Elle)
An elite platoon of Special Forces soldiers infiltrates a forbidding Afghan war zone on horseback in search of vast treasure in this lyrical, thrilling blend of military fiction and Western.
When Corporal Elijah Russells superb horsemanship is revealed during a firefight in northern Iraq, the young Army Ranger is assigned to an elite Special Forces unit preparing to stage a secret mission in eastern Afghanistan. Elijahs task is to train the Green Berets — fiercely loyal to their enigmatic commander, Captain Wynne — to ride the horses they will use to execute this mission through treacherous mountain terrain. But as the team presses farther into enemy territory, the nature of their operation only becomes more mysterious and Wynnes charismatic power takes on a darker cast. Ultimately, Elijah finds himself forced to make a choice: on one side, his best friend and his most deeply held beliefs; on the other, a commanding officer driven by a messianic zeal for his mission.
Based on the authors extensive interviews with Green Berets, Army Rangers, and other veterans, this taut page-turner brilliantly fuses the war novel and the Western into a compellingly original tale.
Tree of Smoke is the 2007 National Book Award Winner for Fiction.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA) -- Fairfax police responded to Robert E. Lee High School in Springfield, Va. on Tuesday for a reported sexual assault at about 12:30 p.m.
9 News' Peggy Fox says policeare investigating another groper attack. For the second time, the victim was a juvenile.
The school is located at 6540 Franconia Road in Springfield, Va. The attack took place two blocks away from the high school.
Police believe the same man fondled or groped 11 other women in the Springfield area. The latest incident happened on Nov. 21, at the intersection of Amherst and Cumberland Avenues in Springfield.
The investigation into the serial groper's attacks is ongoing.
Peggy Fox reports that sources indicate that the victim chased the suspect after the attack, but the suspect was too fast. According to police, the suspect wore a red hat and a gray bubble jacket.
Police are hoping to put out a new more detailed description from this latest victim.
The suspect is described as a young man of Latino descent who has a slight build.

Police say in the span of five months, a 58-year-old teacher at Jones High School had sex with a 16-year old student as many as ten times on school grounds.
Local 6 spoke with a different 16-year old Jones High School student who has Hugh Broomes, 58, as her English teacher.
She said he was her favorite until she heard about his arrest.
"It shocks me that there's a teacher like that at school, but I'm not surprised just disappointed in him," she said.
Police say Broomes now sits in the county jail on ten counts of sexual battery to a child.
"People kind of knew there was something more going on than a student-teacher relationship," said the student we spoke with.
According to the school's website, Broomes isn't just a teacher, but also a soccer coach, something that upsets Kenneth Ingram, a coach himself.
"They trust the coach, they leave that responsibility up to you and this makes them want to say teach soccer yourself," said Ingram.
While he surprised it happened at Jones High, Ingram said it's just one more thing to be on the lookout for.
"I think it's sad you can't even trust nobody who you leave your kid around," said Ingram.

Submission Scientists find that the Sun is so round, it's scary->
coondoggie writes: "If you thought the Sun was round — you'd be right. But astronomers this week said the Sun is so round it's nearly perfect in its roundness. So round that astronomers said if they scaled it to the size of a beach ball, it would be so round that the difference between the widest and narrow diameters would be much less than the width of a human hair."
