What to Expect After Completing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Student Aid Report (SAR)
After the processing of your FAFSA is completed, you will receive an output document called the Student Aid Report (SAR). The SAR will be sent to you in one of three ways.
- Students who give an email address will receive an email with a link to an online SAR that they can access by providing their PIN.
- Students who applied using a paper FAFSA application, and did not provide an email address, will receive a paper SAR in the mail. If you do not receive a SAR, please call the Department of Education at (800) 433-3243 and request a copy.
- Students who applied electronically, and did not provide an email address, will receive a SAR acknowledgement in the mail.
Note: The SAR includes comment codes and text explaining eligibility results. Please review your SAR for accuracy and make any corrections or updates if necessary.
Document Notification Letter
Once the result of your FAFSA is received by the college, you will begin to receive document notification letters regarding the status of your financial aid. These letters will indicate all missing documents and all documents that have been received.
Notification letters are emailed to students who provided an email address on their FAFSA. Students who did not provide an email address will receive all correspondence via the U.S. mail.
To facilitate the processing of your financial aid, we encourage you to submit all required documentation to the Office of Financial Aid as quickly as possible. Please reference your name, or the student's name, and social security number on each piece of paper that is being submitted to our office.
If your FAFSA is selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education, or by Charter Oak, you will be required to submit documentation to validate the data reported on your FAFSA. Our office will request any required information from you via a document notification letter. Please respond promptly to all requests for information so that we may process your financial aid in a timely manner.
Award Notification Letter
Once your financial aid file is complete our office will determine your financial aid eligibility and issue you an award. Please read your letter carefully and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. You should keep a copy of the letter for your files and make sure to follow all funding instructions that will be included with your letter.
Please note that our office reserves the right to change, update or modify your financial aid award if circumstances warrant. Listed below are factors that often result in a modification of financial aid:
- Verification, updates or corrections to information reported on your FAFSA.
- Changes in enrollment status (i.e., full-time to part-time, withdrawing or dropping classes).
- Satisfactory academic progress deficiencies.
- Receipt of outside sources of financial assistance (i.e., scholarships or tuition assistance benefits).
Disbursement of Funds
Students enrolled for the entire academic year will have their financial aid disbursed in two installments - one disbursement will be made in the fall term and one disbursement will be made in the spring term.
The college's fee award will be disbursed in one installment, in the term in which the fee is due.
Financial aid funds will notbe released until the student's enrollment can be verified by the Office of Financial Aid and all fund requirements are met. The disbursement of aid will not be made until 30 days after the start of classes.
What Happens After you Accept your Federal Direct Stafford Loan
First time Federal Stafford Loan borrowers will have received instructions with their award notification letter requesting completion of Entrance Loan Counseling and a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN), so that loan funds can be disbursed to your student account.
Note: The MPN (details your rights and responsibilities as a Federal Stafford Loan borrower) and Entrance Counseling must be completed before loan funds can be credited, per federal regulations.

Fetal Ultrasound
What is fetal ultrasound?
Fetal ultrasound is a test used during pregnancy. It creates an image of the baby in the mother's womb (uterus). It's a noninvasive way to check the health of an unborn baby. During a fetal ultrasound, the baby's heart, head, and spine are measured. The test may be done either through the mother's abdomen (transabdominal) or vagina (transvaginal).
There are several types of fetal ultrasound:
- Standard ultrasound. The test uses sound waves to create 2-dimensional images on a computer screen.
- Doppler ultrasound. This test shows the movement of blood through the umbilical cord between the baby and the placenta.
- 3-dimensional ultrasound. This type shows a 3-dimensional, life-like image of an unborn baby.
Ultrasound uses an electronic wand called a transducer to send and receive sound waves. No radiation is used during the procedure. The transducer is moved over the abdomen, and sound waves move through the skin, muscle, bone, and fluids at different speeds. The sound waves bounce off the baby like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer converts the sound waves into an electronic image on a computer screen.
Why might I need fetal ultrasound?
Fetal ultrasound is a routine part of prenatal care in the U.S. This is because it's a low risk procedure that gives important information. The general health of a pregnancy can be easily checked. A routine prenatal ultrasound can check for defects or other problems in:
- Abdomen and stomach
- Arms, legs, and other body parts
- Back of the neck
- Head and brain
- Heart chambers and valves
- Kidneys
- Placenta placement
- Spine
- Umbilical cord
- Urinary bladder
A fetal ultrasound can also show:
- If a woman is pregnant with multiple babies
- The gestational age of a baby
- Where to place the needle during removal of a sample of amniotic fluid (amniocentesis)
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to advise a fetal ultrasound.
What are the risks of fetal ultrasound?
All procedures have some risks. The risks of this procedure include:
- Mild discomfort from of the transducer on the abdomen or in the vagina
- Reaction to a latex covering for the transducer, if you have a latex allergy
In some cases, an ultrasound may appear to show a problem that is not there (false-positive). The test can also miss a problem that is there (false-negative). In some cases, additional testing may be needed after a fetal ultrasound.
Fetal ultrasound is sometimes offered in nonmedical settings. This is done as a way to give keepsake images or videos for parents. In these cases, it's possible for untrained staff to misread the images and give parents incorrect information. Make sure to have fetal ultrasound done by trained medical staff. Talk with your healthcare provider if you have questions.
Your risks may vary depending on your general health and other factors. Ask your healthcare provider which risks apply most to you. Talk with him or her about any concerns you have.
How do I get ready for fetal ultrasound?
Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you. Ask him or her any questions you have. You may be asked to sign a consent form that gives permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully. Ask questions if anything is not clear.
Tell your healthcare provider if you:
- Are sensitive to or allergic to any medicines, latex, tape, or anesthetic medicines (local and general)
- Take any medicines, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements
Make sure to:
- Stop taking certain medicines before the procedure, if instructed by your healthcare provider
- Plan to have someone drive you home from the hospital
- Follow any other instructions your healthcare provider gives you
Drink several glasses of water before the procedure. You will need to have a full bladder. This helps give clearer images.
What happens during a fetal ultrasound?
You may have your procedure as an outpatient. This means you go home the same day. Or it may be done as part of a longer stay in the hospital. The way the procedure is done may vary. It depends on your condition and your healthcare provider's methods. In most cases, the procedure will follow this process:
What happens after fetal ultrasound?
You will be given tissue to wipe off excess gel. You can go home shortly after the test. Your healthcare provider will talk with you about the results. Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions after the procedure.
Next steps
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:
- The name of the test or procedure
- The reason you are having the test or procedure
- The risks and benefits of the test or procedure
- When and where you are to have the test or procedure and who will do it
- When and how will you get the results
- How much will you have to pay for the test or procedure

Circovirus: Most Infectious Disease Affecting Swine Industry
Terry Steinhart, swine field specialist
According to the ASL-R685 Swine Research report on Experimental Reproduction of Severe Disease in CD/CD Pigs Co-infected with PRRSV and Type 2 Porcine, Circovirus is the most economically significant infectious disease affecting the swine industry in the US. It is reported that outbreaks were characterized by a high incidence of abortions (10 to 60 percent).
Increased emphasis is being placed on pork safety at the production level. There is a need to reduce Salmonella infections in swine. Biosecurity principles and practices are becoming more important in swine production to reduce Toxoplasma infections from rodents, cats, dogs and birds.
Iowa Regional Swine Conferences were set up across Iowa, with the help of the Iowa Pork Producers Association, in order to address these and other swine herd health problems. A discussion of disease and prevention included Circovirus and associated diseases, managing porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, antibiotic free pigs, reducing medication costs, biosecurity principles and practices. These conferences provide some of the latest swine health-related information for producers, veterinarians and pork producers. The speakers and their topics included: Pat Halbur from ISU, "Circovirus and associated diseases" and "Managing PRRS and PRDC"; Dennis DiPietre, from Columbia, MO, "Global trends in the pork industry"; David Pyburn from USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, "Biosecurity principles and practices for all farms"; and John Schiltz, Iowa State veterinarian, "PRV: the end?"
Sixty-eight producers in attendance marketed 2.725 million pigs. Of the nine topics, five rated four or better on a five-point scale. The other four topics rated better than 3.7. Eighty-four percent rated the total program 'Excellent' or 'Superior'. Some of the topics that are most likely to be adopted are; monitor water quality, better pig management, herdsmanship and disease detection and treatment. Others stated that they would do a better job of biosecurity. Twenty percent of the participants indicated that the level of income would increase less than $1,000, but 80 percent stated that the income level would increase more that $1,000. Twenty-nine percent indicated that their income level would increase by more that $5,000.

ABC (ended 2015)
Will Jack finaly understand or what will he do or react when it comes back to reality to season 3 to his respone to Amanda Clark
i just got into this show and i'm about to start season 2. i just finished watching season 1 late last night. but i did catch the very end of the season 2 finale by accident. so i did see her confessing who she is. my question is you would think he would have figured it out by now? with the fake amanda coming and sammy not going to her and growling like he does with strangers. and than right straight off going to Emily you would think that would have given him a clue.
actually i think it would have been stupid if they had gone on much longer with him either not figuring it out in some way. or being told to by someone or her. kinda like in once upon a time in season 1 where you had Emma not believe in magic for pretty much the whole season and it wasn't until the end of the season that she did believe in it. even Jennifer morrison said on that well something was going to happen sooner or later for her to really believe in magic. instead of her not believing in it. too much had happend to her to really believe what she was saying any longer. and she's right i think that really goes with the show Revenge as well.
to much has Happend with Jack and his ties to the graysons in some form or another. and plus the dog Sammy and so forth for him not to really slowly put 2 and two together. you can only let certain story lines go for so long before they go stale. and both Revenge and Once upon a time realize this. so far anyways. either way i'm glad it was her that told him though and NOT someone else.

I was cycling back through London yesterday to get to London Bridge station, when I stopped at a set of traffic lights.
There was a carbon fibre Alan road bike outside this building (I was riding my Alan cross bike) and I was just admiring it. The bike courier came out of the building and unlocked his bike, turning around, I said "Cool bike", he looked at mine and said "likewise".
We got chatting and he said that his bike was driving him crazy, and it wasn't a great courier bike, and that carbon fibre creaks! I said I didn't have that problem on my aluminium Alan, and he asked me to swap right there, right then!!!
Well, before I could answer, the lights changed and I had to get going...but his bike was sweet....it had campag components everywhere...the only thing was, it was a road bike, and I'm into cross, so in fairness, I wouldn't get much use out of it...
Makes you think though...anyone else had someone offer swappsies?

I plan on pumping until my LO is 1 year old. I would like to then use my frozen milk to give him BM well past his first birthday. The oldest frozen milk he would receive would be about 10 months old.
Is it better to give him half BM and half cow's milk at that point or should I give him mostly BM each day with a little bit of cow's milk until the BM runs out?
Will the frozen milk lack anything he will need since it is frozen/not fresh?


text: I recently purchased a new (to me) road bike and am now left with a spare. My old bike has horizontal dropouts. I'd like to convert it to a fixed gear. Will someone give me an honest assessment of the costs of having the conversion done at a bike shop versus purchasing a new fixed gear bike. I have terrible mechanical skills and will be taking the bike to a bike shop to have the conversion done.

A drone weighing about 20 tonnes, guided by computers and GPS, lands itself on an aircraft carrier off the coast of Virginia.
09:05, UK, Thursday 11 July 2013
A computerised drone the size of a fighter jet has completed a pilot's most difficult task unaided after landing on an aircraft carrier at sea for the first time.
The US Navy's X-47B drone landed on the USS George H W Bush off the coast of Virginia, deploying a hook that caught a wire aboard the ship and brought it to a quick stop.
It had previously touched down on land but hitting a moving target at sea, often in turbulent air, is seen as a more challenging manoeuvre.
Ray Mabus, a US Navy spokesman, said: "It is not often you get chance to see the future but that's what we got to do today.
"This is an amazing day for aviation in general and for naval aviation in particular."
Unlike conventional drones, the X-47B, which cost around $1.4bn (£938m) to build, is not operated by remote control.
The aircraft uses computer software and GPS navigation to guide itself through the sky, flying missions of up to 2,400 miles.
Although it will never be put into operational use, US Navy officials hope it will help them develop future carrier-based drones.
Such aircraft could enter production as early as 2014 and are expected to be operational by 2020.
The continued development of the unmanned drones is controversial, with growing criticism of the United States' use of Predator and Reaper aircraft to launch lethal missile attacks against terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.
Critics claim the strikes cause widespread civilian deaths and are carried out with inadequate oversight.

Riders to Watch in the 2013–14 Cyclocross Season
Ryan Trebon (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com, USA)
10 / 12
It's hard to miss the 6-foot-6 Ryan Trebon. Last year, the Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com rider won a handful of important races, but missed out on winning his third national championship. A mountain biker in the summertime, Trebon tweaked his back this summer and was forced to skip mountain bike nationals. But the involuntary rest might have left him with fresher legs for the long cyclocross season.

I have had in my life a real tough battle with food. Food is not my friend by my enemy. It some what of a love hate relationship I suppose. I go from eating food because its nutritious to my body to I want it and have to have it. I read a book someone suggested called or am reading a book called "Women, Food and God" and in that book it says to look at your food and eat food because you need energy not because you are emotional and need it cause the day was tough. Some times I have had these thoughts: tough day, lets go out for dinner (way too many calories). When I get there I just wanna go home. I have a food problem does anyone else out there have the same problem?
My boyfriend of 4+ years told me once while we were on a trip that my food or thought of food consumes my being. I may not be starving but if I don't get food right then and there I will like a 2 yr old have a melt down. However, in my defense when we go on trips he can go all day without eating and I can't which is when this food problem comes up. I need to work on having a relationship with my food and myself, any advice?

Laura, You are not alone. I do the same thing about "have to have it now". I am working on it though. Yesterday we went past my regular lunch time. I was almost paniced but I stopped myself and thought about what would happen if I don't eat right now? I made a choice to make it home except for the small snack we got at the store. LOL. The other choice was to eat out which like you say is way too many calories. I don't know if I'm helping you or just rambling. Just remember food is an addiction for some (me) like anything else can be an addiction. It takes time to change your thinking about food. Before I read your blog I was sitting here with my lunch thinking how much better food tastes when you wait for it.

This is a great start--making explicit your relationship with food. Keep doing this. I believe you'll see changes in how you relate to food as you continue to reveal to yourself what's going on. Small changes are ok, and some discipline will be important. You're doing beautifully!

Senior Fellow Benjamin Powell is Interviewed on American Medicine Today Radio on Drug Approvals and the FDA
Recorded: Saturday, December 12, 2015
What is the cost of the long approval process for potentially life-saving drugs by the FDA? The approval process can take up to 12 years and cost $1 billion. But there are other costs. Patients arent able to take drugs that arent approved and they might die or become more ill. Another cost is that a potential drug maker might not want to take the financial risk of taking a drug to market. Powell recommends testing drugs but possibly making drugs "FDA recommended", rather than "FDA approved." Whats needed is competition and markets to help patients and entrepreneurs, says Powell.

He singlehandedly revived the male stripper movie genre and now Channing Tatum has his sights set on Sin City.
The handsome "She's the Man" actor took to his Facebook page to tell his fans about an exciting Las Vegas residency that's currently in the pipeline.
It's going to be a massive movie event, and the team behind "Power Rangers" just unveiled the newly-redesigned apparel.
Starring Becky G, Ludi Lin, Elizabeth Banks, Naomi Scott and RJ Cyler, the forthcoming flick is slated to hit theaters on March 24th, 2017.
Never one to hold his tongue, Robert Downey Jr opened up about his fondness for filming with his "Iron Man" costar Gwyneth Paltrow during Wednesday's (May 4) episode of "The Howard Stern Show."
She's made quite a name for herself behind the "Today Show" desk and now Natalie Morales is gearing up for a big career transition.
Following the exit of Billy Bush (he's going to "Today"), the 43-year-old anchor will take over hosting "Access Hollywood" and "Access Hollywood Live" this summer.
She knows a thing or two about writing a hit record, so Adele's fawning over Beyoncé's new album Lemonade is no small thing.
The "Hello" songstress posted a cheeky photo via Instagram of herself kissing a Queen Bey poster and included her thoughts on the release.
He loves showing off his toned and tatted torso, and Adam Levine tried his best to puff out his belly in a new Instagram post.
The "Harder to Breathe" crooner posed next to his pregnant wife Behati Prinsloo and added the caption, "Week 20 and I'm finally popping! #impregnanttoo."
Channing Tatum made an autistic fan's dreams come true recently by sitting down for a candid interview.
Carly Fleischmann, who uses a computer to communicate due to a speaking disability, managed to land the Magic Mike hunk as a guest on the first episode of her online talk show, Speechless with Carly Fleischmann, and she didn't hold back on delving into Channing's personal life and dating preferences.
Taking her turn in the passenger seat, Gwen Stefani hitched a ride with James Corden on last night's (May 4) "Carpool Karaoke" for "The Late Late Show."
The platinum blonde chanteuse kicked things off with "Don't Speak," followed by "The Great Escape" and "Used to Love You."

By JOHN W. GOODWIN JR.
Somewhere in the Mahoning Valley, on virtually every weekend and more often in warmer months, there is an impromptu dogfight being conducted, and officials are constantly trying to put an end to the activity.
One of the most recent examples of dogfighting discovered in the area occurred at a house on the South Side where several dogs were found in deplorable conditions. The West Myrtle Avenue home contained makeshift fighting rings and areas where the dogs were being held.
Dave Nelson, deputy dog warden for Mahoning County, said concerned citizens were instrumental in helping officials identify and handle the house, but the problem exists across the area, and the dog warden's office and police are constantly chasing down the offenders.
Janette Reever, deputy manager of animal fighting for the Humane Society, said the number of people nationally involved in the illegal, clandestine world of dogfighting is astounding.
"There is estimated to be 40,000 people involved in professional dogfighting where they are doing this full time," she said. "That is not including the amateurs and street-level people just getting involved in this activity."
Nelson said most fights are set up on the spur of the moment with a text message or call from a cellphone. Those involved simply give a time and a place, and the fight is on.
There often are bets placed on the outcome of the fight, but Nelson said the money is not the driving force in smaller areas such as Youngstown with impromptu fights.
"It's a problem with the younger backyard and basement dogfighters that is drawing the attention of people," he said. "Here, it is more for the blood, gore and excitement of seeing these dogs tear each other apart. Down in larger areas like Columbus, it's a big-money thing, and they are much more organized."
Nelson said he has heard stories of dogfighters getting involved in "trunking," where two large dogs are placed in the trunk of a car while the music is turned up and the car is driven around for 20 minutes. The dog still alive in the trunk is the winner.
Gwen Logan, executive dog warden for Trumbull County, said dogfighting in the county is less prevalent and not as often seen as in neighboring counties.
"There is a problem here, but it is more under the radar," she said. "We are on the lookout for it and very much aware of the signs of dogfighting."
Nelson said one difficulty in stopping the dogfighting in any area is manpower.
Because the fights are set up on a moment's notice, he said, it can be difficult for law enforcement to organize and go in to stop it before the fighting is over and the responsible parties are long gone.
Nelson said most people involved also will have the fights in the late-night hours in obscure locations where they are less likely to be noticed or caught.
Logan and Nelson said manpower is the key to better combating the problem but understand how busy officers are.
Reever said the lives of animals involved in the world of dogfighting is miserable. She said most dogs are left out in the weather attached to heavy chains between fights.
"It's like a jail sentence or sitting on a death sentence," she continued. "They know they will either die on the chain, be killed in a fight or killed after the fight if they do not perform well."
Reever added that only dogs who "earn their keep" by repeatedly being bred live long in the dogfighting world. Those dogs, she said, also face a miserable existence tied to a heavy chain until they are strapped to a dog-breeding stand for mating purposes.
Nelson and Reever said it is imperative that the general public help officials combat the problem by being aware of suspicious activity, such as people congregating with large groups of dogs, dog activity at obscure abandoned places, reporting on stolen dogs, and dogs that appear to have combat wounds and injuries.
"This is a problem all over the country, and it's been going on since the beginning of time. All you can do is keep up the groundwork and follow up from there," Nelson said. "It makes me concerned, and I have to get out the information so people know what to look for."
Dogfighting came to the national forefront five years ago when NFL quarterback Michael Vick pleaded guilty to federal felony charges and served 21 months in prison, followed by two months in home confinement for his involvement in a dogfighting ring that had operated for years.
It's funny how people can actually post the most disgusting comments on an article that is meant to bring awareness to such a disgusting act. How dare you say that animals have no rights? Especially domesticated animals? Animals that protect us, and love us unconditionally. They deserve just as much protection as we do. We as humans have a voice and ways of protecting ourselves, and we are the RIGHTS that will stand up for them. At least those of us strong enough to have a voice, and a heart, and know how to LOVE... But I guess you wouldn't know anything about any of that. Especially LOVE. The big bad talk must be overcompensating for something. Gambling is one thing for money, but NEVER at the expence of a living breathing thing...Funny you mention about our society... Our society is also taught to take GOD out of our schools, politics, and our work places... Look where that has gotten us. Sad that there are people out there who actually feel that these animals deserve to be treated so horribly. Sad that there are people out there that can justify reasons to do such terrible things. I will pray for you all, but at the end of the day, there is a greater power looking down on us all and you people who have evil in you will be judged. Your day will come, and I truly feel sorry for you.
There needs to be a mass extermination of this one type of filth.
But in our pathetic state of Ohio, this filth and others (Crowley) will just get away with it.
If you suspect something, DO SOMETHING!!!
Tbal, get off of your SELF-RIGHTOUS, POMPUS ARSE.
I will pray for you.
Like ginger said you see something do something.
Faith without works is dead.
Time to make these banks and homeowners take care of their property.
Make the banks tear down these homes.
I agree with Tbal!!! Animals do have rights. They look up to us to protect them and love them with everything we have. People who have no respect for animals need to be treated just like they treated those poor things. They wouldn't like it if we made them fight and we abused them all the time. These poor animals were left in a house with no food and no water!! They were left to die!! If I could I would adopt every animal I could just to keep them out of the hands of people like them. And talking about their dead bodies??? How SICK can you be? I think you need some major help buddy!
Given the condition of the Myrtle Avenue house in picture, should it not be torn down? Youngstown is just a mess, and yes, dog fighting is a nasty sport. These animals deserve much better treatment.
Dog fighting is a ghetto sport and this is one more social depravity of the black community. Black folks need to clean up their act; poverty is no excuse for a lack of conscience.
"Nelson said he has heard stories of dogfighters getting involved in "trunking," where two large dogs are placed in the trunk of a car while the music is turned up and the car is driven around for 20 minutes. The dog still alive in the trunk is the winner."
This is sick, as are the useless, pitiful cockroaches that do this. Just for fun? Get a freaking job and become productive members of society instead of being such useless trash.
Somehow I don't think that the black community is living up to Martin Luther King's statement about judging a man by the content of his heart. Dog fighters are scum to the core. Torturing, killing, & maiming dogs isn't cool, it's not fun, and it shows a complete lack of conscience & moral fiber. The community knows where these fights occur and they know who participates in them but apparently they either approve or tolerate this activity. Severe penalties including jail time, property forfeiture, and elimination from all welfare programs needs to be implemented.
A couple years ago a friend of mine living on Ytown's south side called me to tell me of a pit bull tied up in his next door neighbor's back yard in the freezing rain without shelter. After several calls to authoriies the only people that came to help were the Ytown police. Only then did a humane agent come. The dog was so cold he actually WANTED to go with him. The agent confronted the people who lived there and they denied it was their dog. What liars! The agent said "OK" then left. They got off scott free!!! I wanted to adopt this poor dog but was told they don't let the public adopt pit bulls and it was put down. If I had known that justice would not be served I would have driven over to the house and stolen the dog and raised him with dignity. Not all pits are vicious. It's how they're bred. What a joke the humane society is. People who hurt animals will certainly go on to hurt humans. It's a proven cycle. We need harsher laws or better humane agents!
So.....in 150 years the" black community" hasn't moved to far from "Chicken George"? I do not believe the "real" black community would appreciate that characterization!!!!!
Well, Carlstaatz, I for one want our "culture" here in America to stand for better. BUT if YOU are into exploring and fighting the war on different "cultures", may I suggest you explore and participate in the Pentecost island "culture" of naghol. Good luck because I certainly wouldn't want to eat THAT gelatin. Go forth warrior, and I hope a dog lover doesn't cut your vine.
The point of this article is to raise AWARENESS, and to raise CONCERNS. Pit bulls and fight dogs are stigmatized, I can speak from PERSONAL experience not all of these dogs are bad or hopeless.
We rescued a pit mix pup, who was apparently used as a bait dog- she had all the classic signs, a scarred face, timid, scared of humans, very scared in general.
It has been about 3 years we have her and i can honestly say she is coming around and has been worth every minute of work.
These dogs deserve more from us humans, but our issue is- owners not affording or wanting to have their dogs fixed.
Owners who can barely pay the bills with dogs, who are left in the cold and on the streets.
Overpopulation of animals.
And cruelty.
I wonder if these dogs were Yorkies/poodles if they'd be forced to fight? no.
I wonder how many people actually see the value in hard working committed no-kill shelters like Alchemy Acres over paying a ridiculous amount of money for a pure bred dog?
I wonder how many people are willing to go to the pound and give a dog a second chance?
These dogs have done NOTHING to deserve the cruel conditions they face.
So I beg of you on this board, rather than put your personal issues on the table, THINK OF THE DOGS FIRST.
Help one today, please. Donate to a rescue, take a dog for a walk at the pound- they need dog walkers-and finally RESCUE a dog, don't get one bred, don't visit a puppy mill. Please save a dog and give them a second chance. It will be the most beneficial experience of your life.
Like our little rescue, those dogs not only remember what you did for them, they love you for it, unconditionally. I can't say how much her love means to us, but she truly is a blessing each and every day.
Dogs are creatures left in our care, innocent lives that our Higher Power entrusted with us. Please think of the dogs first. We can all fight with one other on another day, unlike humans, not all dogs want to fight, they don't have opinions, they dont' judge, they don't have prejudice.
They have love. Please share it today.
Can you guys please stop calling it a sport.
Just as a secondary note - there are no stray cat laws either. Feral cats are everywhere with no one to protect them. They usually starve to death or are eaten alive by other animals. I tried getting help for the ones near my home and again the Mahoning County humane agent was useless. It doesn't matter what kind of animal it is all animals should be treated with respect and dignity. I don't think God intended mankind to torture and mutilate any living and breathing thing. Like the song goes: "Bless the beasts and the children, for in this world they have no voice, they have no choice".
Majority of them removed from the home were, majority of most dogs involved are either American bulldogs, Pitt bulls and other bully breeds. It's said the once all American dog, the Pitt bull- think th elittle rascals- is now vilified because of a humans actions.
People who abuse animals with answer to God for their actions...
White Sabbath, I am far from self righteous, or Pompous... I have done something. I have saved many animals, so before you judge me because I have God in my life, know what you are talking about. But this isn't about me, this is about the animals. This isn't a racial thing either... There are many cultures out there that participate in this disgusting act, and should be punished. Too bad we don't punish with the "Eye for an Eye" method, because I guarantee things would change. But since we just offer a slap on the wrist many people get away with murder... Literally. You are killing these animals for the fun of the game... SICK. Yes I will pray for these people, as they are EVIL!. Carlstaatz... Move to one of these countries you are talking about. Justifying what other countries do does not make it right, it makes it easier for you to accept. PATHETIC. As far as quoting Genesis 9:3, does that mean we should be canibals? I mean we are living and moving? This article was meant to show awareness to what is happening around us...It's sad people actually defend this. Truly sad. Karma's out there people... It will find you
Let's all take a moment to realize which type of people are doing these awful things? I say for every person we find who are participating in this cruel act we should force them to live in those conditions and fight each other until death while we take bets.
These people are invaluable and I would rather save the dogs then save their lives. They are nothing but worthless scum.
Anyone who has ever had a dog as a pet knows how amazing they are.
Find, Convict, and Kill these worthless people before they starting murdering humans. It's fact that most serial killers start out torturing animals.
You are darn straight I much rather have a innocent animal survive then a disgusting piece of garbage.
Martin Luther King must be so proud of his people and the "content of their character".
I am offended that every computer-cloaked bigot on this board has labled this a problem of the black community. You all can't be that darn stupid! I seriously doubt that the attrocities of dog fighting are removed from the white world... dare I say there are probably nationally more whites than blacks with blood on thier hands in this "sport." No, my Budweiser swilling, crouch scratching friend, you will have to get your racist jollies elsewhere. This is not the right topic...
CarlStaatz - Since when did anything about Hitler come into the picture?? And who do you think you are calling us all stupid gentiles?? We were talking about treating animals humanely! I'm sorry for what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust. It was a horrible page in history but don't hate the rest of us who had nothing to do with it. Keep to the subject matter. Only scummy d-bags torture animals. May they rot in hell for their actions!
Dog fighting is a ghetto sport and this is one more social depravity of the black community.
RIGHT!!! Why is it every small town white, right wing , tea party . bunch in WVA, GA SC, Tenn , KY . and southern OH. have dog fights every Friday night and go to church on Sunday , And are caled out as true Americas . HO that right they are white and tea . Some here are no better then the ones who do these awful things.Keep your hate to your self
I'd call you people animals, but that would be an insult to God's creatures. Just go go back to Africa and die.
......Vick on people not understanding where he comes from:
"Yeah, you got the family dog and the white picket fence, and you just think that's all there is. Some of us had to grow up in poverty-stricken urban neighborhoods, and we just had to adapt to our environment. I know that it's wrong. But people act like it's some crazy thing they never heard of. They don't know."
I ask Vick if he feels that white people simply don't understand that aspect of black culture. "I think that's accurate," he says. "I mean, I was just one of the ones who got exposed, and because of the position I was in, where I was in my life, it went mainstream. A lot of people got out of it after my situation, not because I went to prison but because it was sad for them to see me go through something that was so pointless, that could have been avoided."
So that makes it right?
No excuses or apologies. If I catch anyone abusing a DOG; I will personally deal with that person in an extremely violent manner! Bottomline; I will most likely have to go to jail after I am done.
Animal abusers are the same kind of people as are child abusers. Cowards. I'd like to see any of them try abusing an adult human. Some people just beg for a good ass whipping.
happens all the time. Its terrible. instead of condeming it, we need to report anything that looks like dog fighting, help the dog pound and rescue organizations, etc. The measure of a person is how they treat the weaker, animal and human.
The neighbors that turn a blind eye to this activity are just as guilty. The blood of these abused and tortured dogs are on their hands just as well.
nuganuech and DB, you are nothing but redneck racists. Who put others down to feel better about yourself. You are scum of the earth who think because you are white that you are better than people of color but guess what? Your race (Whites) are the ones who fight dogs and chickens. It just in your deprived area of Ohio and I do mean Boardman, Canfield, Austintown and the likes are no better. Its the same old song, The media and news explots. I know that and so does other intelligent people. Sure it exist in Y-town but thats not the only place that these activities exists. Nor is it right for anyone to do this. But don't say that its only blacks that participate in these acts. That in it self is a lie and everyone knows that. You people are truly ignorant, stupid and have no exposure. Northeast Ohio, What a joke. The cloud over the area have welted your brains. You have know idea how ignorant you sound. You should be shame of yourselves for those ignorant comments, but you are who you are. I'd like to meet you any and all. Tell me where and when.

Treat these "dogfighters" the same way the treated the dogs. Simple.

Mexican Lasagna
Got friends coming over? Try this bloomin' onion bread. You'll prepare it in a flash and your friends will love it. It's better if you use sourdough bread to really get the "blooming" effect. We don't have sourdough bread available at the bakery in Guatemala, so I used a country style round bread, and it worked just fine. I used a small serrated knife to help me cut the bread when I had to do the second part. I think I would have made a tragic mess out of that loaf if I had used the regular bread knife.
If you're having more than 4 friends over, make at least 2! Trust me, they will be gone quicker than you think.
This recipe can be the base for you to use your creativity and add different ingredients such as, cheddar cheese and bacon instead of just mozzarella and onions. How about individual portions using small round breads? I'll be experimenting with these ideas over the holidays, I have a ton of family get togethers coming up. (yikes)
As our Independence Day festivities get closer, I wanted to try out a recipe that used a local staple ingredient to make a fusion dish. I knew I wanted that ingredient to be loroco. I thought up this recipe for a loroco and tomato rustic tart which I am glad to share with you, I do hope you give it a try! We ate the whole thing in one sitting for dinner.
You just need to make a pie dough, or buy frozen puff pastry dough. If you make your own dough, add ½ teaspoon of black pepper to the flour mixture before processing it. This is optional, to give the dough a little flavor. When your dough is ready fill it out with a mixture or locoro, onions, cream, tomato, parmesan and a good quality melting cheese. In my case, I bought Quesillo from San Julian, which is creamy and melts deliciously.
Loroco, is a vine with edible flowers that grows in Guatemala, El Salvador and other Central American countries. It is an important and popular source of food in Guatemala and El Salvador. The plant's buds and flowers are used for cooking in a variety of ways, including in pupusas from El Salvador.

Sounds like a butthurt fan trying to make yet another excuse for the loss. Hopefully he will be fine.

Hopefully it's not so.
However, I still don't think Pac was looking good against JMM, he was -doing- good , but that's because he was facing a 40yr old in JMM, who worked on strenght and by reflex was even slower than his usual.
Don't be mistaken , I give all credits to JMM, he fought a great fight and enjoyed an amazing carreer, though he is what he is: a 40 years old man who has never been particularly fast in the the first place.
Put Pac against somebody younger and you'll see how much speed he has lost, especially his legs are much slower. His reflexes have deteriorated.
It is only normal, as somebody pointed out he has been in more than 60 fights, always bringing the issue to the other guy.
All respect, and hope he is and will stay well.

I understand that what the Doctor is saying more than likely amounts to bullsh*t but at the same time I hope Pacquiao does not continue to the point that such speculation becomes substantiated. He has his money, he has his resume he should have a farewell in Manila and call it a day. Anyone ( fan or promoter) expecting more than that can go and fuck themselves.

Its not Pac making excuses, its idiots like you that are making excuses. You expect me to think the Doctor who is saying this isn't a nuthugger like you just because he's a Doctor? He hasn't even had a single test. Damn, even Politicians from there are trying to get Justin Beiber banned from the country because of their nuthuggery.
If his hands are shaking its probably because he heard Marquez's name mentioned. I don't think for one moment he has Parkinson's and I don't wish it on anybody.
Get the f**k outta hear with this banning nonsense, you make yourself look like an even bigger joke than you already are

XLISP is a family of Lisp implementations written by David Betz and first released in 1983. The first version was a Lisp with object-oriented extensions for computers with limited power. The second version moved toward Common Lisp, but was by no means a complete implementation. After a long period of inactivity, the author released a new version based on XSCHEME, his Scheme implementation. The most current version follows the Scheme R3RS standard. [ - ]

Article: Effectiveness of Cleaning and Health Education in Reducing Childhood Lead Poisoning Among Children Residing Near Superfund Sites in Missouri[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In this study, the authors evaluated whether a combination of tailored education, lead dust removal by trained cleaning specialists, and family follow-up visits would be more effective than conventional health educational programs in reducing elevated blood lead levels in children living in or near lead mining hazardous waste sites. The authors randomized children between 6 and 72 mo of age with blood lead levels between 10 and 20 microg/dl into 3 groups: standard care, tailored newsletters, or tailored newsletters and specialized cleaning. The authors obtained questionnaires, blood lead levels, and environmental lead samples during initiation and compared them with the same items obtained at 3, 6, and 9 mo follow-up. They used a linear mixed effect model to evaluate the intervention effect. Blood lead levels decreased overall 1.54 microg/dl (12.1%) during the study. The authors found that tailored newsletters and specialized cleaning produced the greatest decline in blood lead levels, but no statistical differences were found among the methodologies. The small decline observed in blood lead levels reduced levels to below 10 microg/dl for 40% of the children.
Article: What we need to know about bioterrorism preparedness: Results from focus groups conducted at APIC 2000[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Infection control practitioners (ICPs) are important partners in enhancing the US public health infrastructure, both as essential recipients of continuing education and as instructors responsible for providing this education. Focus groups were conducted at APIC 2000, the annual meeting for the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc, to determine the ICPs' priorities for educational opportunities in bioterrorism preparedness and the preferred methods of education delivery. Focus group participants affirmed the need to provide education in sessions of less than 60 minutes, with use of a variety of technologies and methods of presentation such as video, Internet, and paper-based self-learning texts. The participants' comments suggested a lack of awareness by employees in health care institutions about the potential threat of bioterrorism in the United States and a deficiency in knowledge about the potential consequences of an attack. The focus group participants believed this lack of awareness also leads to unwillingness by their administrators to allocate funds for planning and education. Since it appears that ICPs will be looking for direction and expertise from the local health departments in their communities, the first subset of professionals to target for bioterrorism education and preparedness should probably be the public health professionals.

Aram A. Yengoyan
Poised between two prophets (Christian and Muslim), the Mandaya of south-east Mindanao have dealt selectively with matters of religious conversion and cultural hegemony as a means of maintaining a way of life, a portion of which has no counterpart in the world religions that they are encountering. Conversion to Christianity is understood primarily as a means of entering a dominant socio-linguistic group (Cebuano/Bisayan), thus opening new avenues of commercial activity and partial social acceptance. On the other hand, Islam, through its teachers, wandering missionaries, and traders, argues that all features of Mandaya religious action, structure, and thought exist within Islamic religious perspectives, which not only embrace local Mandaya beliefs but are also more powerful. Both world religions operate globally, yet they are limited in terms of the oratory, mnemonics, and genealogical depth that link Mandaya mythical and historical heroes and heroines, and which project the living past onto the present.
Eastern Mindanao is occupied by a number of "tribal" groups who are markedly different from the Islamic populations of southern and central Mindanao, although close similarities with other non-Islamic groups in central and western Mindanao, such as the Bukidnon and the Subanun, do exist. One of the major groups of eastern Mindanao is the Mandaya, who occupy the foothills and mountain areas of eastern Davao province and Surigao del Sur. Interior settlements are generally located up to an elevation of 4,000 feet. In some cases, the Mandaya have moved beyond this elevation, though the effects of swiddening in this ecological zone are highly negative. The push higher into the interior is a result of the extensive nature of Mandaya slash-and-burn cultivation. Although early accounts indicate that the Mandaya were one of the most powerful warring groups in eastern Mindanao, with the decline and disappearance of the bagani (warrior) complex during the 1920s, the Mandaya today are scattered throughout their ancestral areas subsisting on rice, corn, and tuber cultivation, and, occasionally, the commercial production of abaca (hemp).
Like many other non-Christian, non-Islamic groups practicing upland rice swidden cultivation, the Mandaya have only recently become involved in a market economy. Abaca production in swiddens that are no longer useful for upland rice is now found scattered throughout the foothills, from the Mati-Tarragona area north to Cateel. Most of these small-scale abaca farms are still maintained by the Mandaya, but in certain localities Cebuano farmers have taken land from the upland Mandaya. The Visayans are also

A Further Perspective
The Two-Headed Wooly Mammoth
Fannie and Freddie should have been treated by Dr. Kevorkian years ago.
This time it's not an elephant in the room that no one sees, it's a large, two-headed wooly mammoth. It subsists on endless amounts of money. Each head has a name. One is named Fannie Mae and the other is named Freddie Mac.
If you were a wooly mammoth you, too, would want to have a name that is deceptively innocent sounding, almost cuddly. Like the wooly mammoths of prehistoric times, however, this one is anything but cuddly.
Fannie was created toward the end of the Depression, in 1938, to add to liquidity in the home mortgage market. It puttered along until 1968 when it was converted to a private, but government-sponsored, shareholder corporation. This had the handy effect of taking it off the federal budget. Although the government would no longer guarantee Fannie-issue mortgages, Fannie's government-sponsored status implied the "full faith and credit" of the government behind it, and business grew as a result.
In 1970. Freddie Mac became Fannie's younger brother for the purpose of stimulating competition. Then, in 1977, the Carter Administration and its Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act. In exchange for banks receiving federal insurance of their depositors' money, the CRA required them to "help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations."
This was intended to end the practice of "redlining," in which a bank wouldn't lend in an entire neighborhood so marked. It was to be replaced by making mortgage decisions on a case-by-case basis. Things moved along until 1999 when officials of the Clinton Administration pressured Fannie to pressure banks to increase the number of their loans in urban areas that had been designated by the CRA as "distressed." Meanwhile, community groups (remember Barack Obama, "Community Organizer"?), using the disruption tactics of radical Saul Alinsky, began picketing and intimidating banks they thought were dragging their feet.
Fannie's demand that lenders increase their ratio of low-income loans led to pressure on it to lighten credit requirements it had maintained as to which mortgages it was willing to purchase.
Subprime lending grew like Topsy. Rep. Barney Frank was a cheerleader for this rapid expansion. Fannie's shareholders loved the steady profits. Its executives (several of them former Clinton Administration officials) loved their big bonuses.
All this led to more subprime lending and the tricky, new convoluted mortgage schemes in the market. The whole bubble began to come apart at the seams in late 2007. The New York Times showed prescience back in 1999 when it wrote, "Fannie Mae is taking on significantly more risk, which may not pose any difficulties during flush economic times, but the government-subsidized corporation may run into trouble in an economic downtown, prompting a government rescue similar to that of the savings and loan industry in the 1980s." And that is what happened.
By summer 2008, Fannie and Freddie, between them, were backing more than half of the nation's home mortgages and they were in the red. By August that year, their share prices had dropped by 90 percent. In September, the federal government took over both, putting them under conservatorship. The U.S. Treasury now owns 80 percent of both through preferred stock and common stock warrants.
Instead of planning to phase them out, the government vowed to keep them running. It has pumped $127 billion into the two since the takeover, with no end in sight. Indeed, the Obama Administration has lifted restrictions on borrowing by the two-headed mammoth with the big appetite.
Senator Chris Dodd's finance "reform" bill conspicuously leaves out any reference to either Fannie or Freddie. What should happen to both is euthanasia. Like Dr. Kevorkian's death machines, the plan to do so should be built carefully and, unlike Dr. Kevorkian's, which work in minutes, the euthanasia should be phased in over a reasonable period of time so they can fall into the long, long sleep of real wooly mammoths.

And the one that matters the most
Only for the most extreme circumstances
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
In the roughly 30 years that I've closely followed financial
markets -- the last few years in my role as Chief Investment
Officer of Fundamental Fixed Income at BlackRock -- one of the
most important lessons I've learned is that markets generally can
only concentrate on no more than a couple of things at a time.
With that lesson in mind, I'd like to focus here on one of the
vital things on the mind of the market now - one that also
happens to be a pillar of growth that can help make or break the
US economic recovery: housing.
First, a quick show of my hand: I think the US economy is in
the process of emerging from significant structural headwinds,
thanks to consumers and corporations strengthening their
financial positions. And consumer finances should improve even
more as housing recovers further - a virtuous cycle that matters
a great deal for policy and investments.
Now the backstory that I believe gets us to that vision.
As you've no doubt heard ad nauseum from the financial media,
the Federal Reserve's QE, or "
quantitative easing
" - essentially, central bank purchasing of US Treasury and
mortgage-backed debt through the expansion of its balance sheet
-- has strongly supported prices of financial assets over the
past couple of years. Indeed, from the first quarter of 2008 to
2013, the vast majority of net worth gains (near 90%) stemmed
from increasing financial asset prices, according to Royal Bank
of Scotland research. Good news -- provided you were fortunate
enough to own stocks and other such assets.
But more recently QE has had a more democratized wealth impact
as mortgage debt levels are falling and the value of residential
homes is finally showing meaningful improvement, in part due to
the Fed support. The upshot is that many middle-income households
- not just those in the financial markets - are finally
participating in these gains (see Figure 1).
Another encouraging sign is that home prices are historically
affordable, despite the recent spike in mortgage rates. Further,
consumer expectations and purchase survey data suggest that many
potential buyers may move sooner rather than later. All good:
More real estate transactions may feed through to further
construction activity and increased growth.
Also, while the labor market recovery has been painfully slow
and uneven; there are areas of improvement that may be positive
for housing. For example, recent upward revisions in non-farm
payroll numbers have meaningfully strengthened the average pace
of jobs growth this year, despite a recent slowing in the metric.
Moreover, outside the sectors I've deemed structurally impaired
(construction, financial services and government), job gains have
generally been on par with past cycles.
The point here is that housing is critical to broader economic
recovery - in fact, the connection between houses and jobs alone
is critical, as Figure 2 suggests.
Put it altogether, and you have to believe - I believe - that
the Fed will do the right thing and keep interest rates "highly
accommodative" for a considerable period of time, even as the
central bank considers tapering its quantitative easing program.
Such a monetary policy would help maintain affordable mortgage
rates and could even counter the possible negative impact of
other factors that could curtail loan growth, such as new and
increased bank regulation.
So, while it may be easy to make a pessimistic medium-term
case for the US economy in the wake of financial crisis and
painful recession (alongside myriad risks still plaguing the
globe), such a case doesn't adequately account for several
positives in our economic trajectory - housing being one of the
key positives among them.
Now, some of you may be thinking: OK, but what about those
financial assets he mentioned - where are those headed? In my
next post I'll talk about how economic growth and policy could
affect asset class returns for the rest of the year. I look
forward to continuing our conversation.

Well last week ended on the downside, and this week didn't start much better. The allergen count is way up, mountain cedar, in the area I live in. Allergen count up=asthma attacks for me. I called my doctor on Friday, after suffering an attack on Thursday, to see about starting a medicine I have used before to help open my airway up. He approved it, so I started taking the medicine; this resulted in even more coughing till I couldn't catch my breath. So I stopped the medicine on Sunday and tried calling the doctor back on Monday...please someone tell me why doctors feel as if they can take a vacation??? Don't doctors know people get sick 365 days a year....weekends and evenings included. Well, knowing where all this was headed, I chose to see his Physician's Assistant. She informed me it sounded has if I had swallowed a harmonica...as I felt this way too. She sent me for blood work and x-rays to rule out pneumonia. I informed her I had taken a flu AND pneumonia shot this year, as I didn't want pneumonia, in the past years I have had it at least once or twice a year. Well, I just knew I have made a lifestyle change, including diet and exercise, and this would not be the case. With God on my side, my diagnosis was 'asthma'; she felt like it started with allergies and went this way. She did tell me if the shot and four prescriptions didn't work by Wednesday, call back and she would start me on one more medicine. I do have an updraft machine at home, and hope I don't have to start using it. With all the bad news, or could be good news since it wasn't pneumonia, I still am working out--just taking it easy. She did tell me not to get out in the wind until I get better, so it kind of limits outside activities...but it will get better. With God on my side...who can be against me?? I feel blessed....it's a great day!!

Enhance SugarCRM module to pass additional info
Most lead forms include a box for a message or comment. It would be great if this info could be passed into SugarCRM using the module. Right now, it is easy to go find out what the message was by following the link that comes in with the lead feed, but it would be even better to not have to follow a link.
