Flash Review, 6-6: Horizons
Ying Sings His/Her Own Song
By Toni Taylor
Copyright 2008 Toni Taylor
NEW YORK -- A performance art piece with video, dance, and monologue which considers ideas of gender, sexuality and how how we turn out in those areas affects those who love us, specifically mothers, Hou Ying's "What is Your Horizon?," presented by the Dance Ying Group on May 9 and 10 at the Puffin Room, was a perfect Mother's Day weekend performance for a certain kind of mother.
With music by Amos Elmaliah and Heo Yoon Jeong which eased in and out of the monologue, and in collaboration with the performers, Yo Smith Kwon, Chia Ying Kao, and Hae Young Oh, Ying created a space, real and emotional, where Kwon tells of his tentative progression towards the realization of his homosexuality. Kao was lovely as every girl next door who lets the boy next door go through her closet to find something to wear to market. Oh was every mother who loves her son and is afraid of the difficulties of the life that has chosen him. Kao's movement was very gestural and angular, performed in the same way a little girl plays with her dolls, perhaps the ones that had only underwear in the opening video by Schnitte Erzaehier. Oh's long limbs swept her through the space quickly, perhaps trying to keep herself between her son and the troubles she sees in his future.
A few prophetic props added layers of detail to this seemingly simple story: an orange as item of sustenance, as well as silencing, then as a cleansing device; an odd green ball with rubber strings that when squeezed could perhaps represent revulsion one minute and a curative the next. Kwon starts the piece in a costume of elegantly draped and tucked trash bags which are ultimately scraped off during the course of the opening slide down the wall and full belly scootching across the floor, not unlike the peeling of the opening orange, revealing him/herself in fishnets and dance belt, thus establishing him/herself as the 'other' with all of the troubles his mother sees in his future.
After a much too brief bit of gorgeous, big dancing by Kao and Oh, Kwon propped them against the wall, anchoring them to the audience by draping them and the audience together with toilet paper, perhaps entrusting us to take care of his mother and friend while he deals with his self discovery.
From a performance art point of view, "What is Your Horizon?" is a very simple, elegant piece, telling a straightforward story, allowing the visual elements to provide context and to fill in the emotional layers that would have cluttered up the monologue. From a dancer's point of view and in light of the running time of barely an hour, I would have appreciated much more dance. But, just as Kao and Oh were getting started dealing with their concerns for Kwon's future, their "real dancing" was quickly tamped down, before they were propped against the wall. There was a bit of improvisational rolling around and over each other on the floor that was mesmerizing (in the same way an aquarium can be), which would have been well served with a bit of choreographic punctuation.

College Hockey:McLeod says 2013-14 'probably' his last as WCHA commissioner
According to the Grand Forks Herald, WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod told a group of administrators and coaches at the Florida AHCA meetings last week that the 2013-14 season, his 20th as commissioner, is "probably" his last in the role.
McLeod reportedly hinted to some of the administrators and coaches a couple of months ago that he would likely be done after next season.
WCHA women's commissioner Sara Martin has also told league members she will step aside after next season, the story also states.

10. Starting out on the TOG Server
Note: If you've not played Minecraft before at all, it will be less overwhelming if you've watched a few tutorial videos. There is a series linked in the
Minecraft Tips sticky
, along with links to various other Newbie Guides, FAQ, Wiki, Tutorials, etc.
A few quick points to help you. Some of these may not be available to you depending on your membership level
(see above)
. See the forum for specific rules and advice for each server.
On the Frontier server:
We don't have a spawn village as such, instead you will spawn in the spawn tower. There are supplies in the chests above spawn to help you get started (please be considerate in how much you take as restocking is not as easy). There is a community mine to the north-east - follow the signed paths but be careful as the path is not protected from the monsters.
This world has no warppoints but some teleportation is allowed. If you sleep in a bed, you can use
/tp home
at anytime to teleport to it (though there may be a warmup period of a number of seconds). PVP damage is on for all players, but the wishes of any player to not participate in combat must be respected.
On the allied servers
Whitelisted players can also join in on various allied servers run by Toggers. If Frontier isn't quite what you want out of Minecraft, maybe one of the allied servers is more to your taste. Each has their own forum which defines their own rules and their own gameplay objectives. If you have queries, just post in the forum.
If you would even like to run an allied server yourself, the conditions are set out in
TOG Minecraft Server Code of Conduct
Temporary servers
Occasionally we temporarily replace the TOG servers with new worlds and servers. For instance, in the past we have revisited old servers with new versions of Minecraft or used maps prepared by others. These worlds will often have their own rules.
What do we do on our servers?
Our players are regularly found working on their masterpieces, big or small, as well as helping others in the community. Have a look at the Division's
The Miners' Gallery
to see what sort of events and constructions have also occurred since we started in September 2010.

Development of biofuels hinges on the ability to convert lignocellulose, the "woody" cell membrane that comprises most plant material, into something that's useable as fuel. One method is to use enzymes to break down the cellulose into sugars, which can then be converted into ethanol through fermentation and distillation.
Because different plants have different cell-wall structures and compositions, scientists need to understand those differences and how efficiently enzymes are able to break the lignocellulose into simple sugars. To do this, Ames Laboratory scientist Emily Smith uses a characterization tool called Raman spectroscopy, which is ideally suited to working with such materials.
|"This method has several advantages over alternative analytical techniques," Smith explains. "First, analysis requires very little material so you can take small samples from a growing plant over time with little damage to the plant." The technique is also high-throughput. Because only very small samples are needed and little time is required to prepare samples, multiple samples can be analyzed quickly.
The basic Raman technique used by Smith, who is also an Iowa State University assistant professor of chemistry, employs an optical microscope, and specimens are illuminated with a laser beam. As the laser light hits the sample, some of the light is scattered. By analyzing the scattered light with a spectrometer, Smith can easily and quickly determine the chemical makeup of the plant material.
"Raman spectroscopy provides chemical signatures of what's in your sample," Smith says. "We can focus on the signature of the particular species we're interested in, for example lignin or cellulose."
Because lignin binds the cellulosic polymers together, the higher the lignin content of the cell wall, the harder it is to access the cellulose. For some biofuel applications, plants with a higher cellulose-to-lignin content are more ideal.
Smith's group is also using Raman spectroscopy to measure the enzymatic reactions used to break down the cellulosic polymers into sugars.
"Because the enzymes used can be expensive, it's important to determine what conditions are optimum to produce the highest yield," Smith says.
A schematic for the scanning angle total internal reflection microscope that
Emily Smith displays in the photo above.
Besides the type of plant material used, variables include the maturity of the plant material, the size of the pieces being processed, pretreatment of the material, and the type and amount of enzyme used.
Also being studied is a hydrolysis process that uses enzymes attached to silica nanoparticles. This allows the nanoparticles and their attached enzymes to be recycled. It also increases the yield of ethanol when saccharification and fermentation reactions are performed simultaneously.
Smith's work has also focused on developing new instrumentation and uses for it. She is currently developing a different type of Raman technique known as scanning angle, total internal reflection Raman microscopy.
"Basically, it allows us to control the angle that the laser is directed on the sample," Smith says. "By changing the incident angle, we hope to be able to develop a 3D image of the sample's chemical content."
Motorized controls allow the incident angle of the laser to range from 25.5 degrees to 75.5 degrees with a .05 degree angle resolution, giving researchers the capability to study the materials with 5 nanometer spatial resolution.
At an even more fundamental level, Smith's group is looking at how the spectral signal is generated and how to enhance the signal strength.
"When I first arrived, I wasn't expecting to do anything related to biofuels, but there is such an interest in them and a wealth of expertise here and at Iowa State that it's really taken off," Smith said. "As we've worked on that, our understanding of these techniques has grown and it's brought up all kinds of new research projects for us to work on."

As August draws to a close, those seeking out opportunities to experience the "bleeding edge" of new music and improvisation will find at least five potentially satisfying options, running all the way through Labor Day Weekend into the beginning of next month.
Most important is that, once again, this will be a week with two concerts from Outsound Presents, one each in the New Music Series at the Luggage Store Gallery (LSG) and the SIMM (Static Illusion Methodical Madness) Music Series. The specifics for these events are as follows:
- LSG, Thursday, August 28, 8 p.m.: The opening set will be a new ensemble project called Bridge of Crows. By their own description, their music exists "at the intersection of ethnomusic influenced by Primitive Roots/Blues and Contemporary Electroacoustic Chamber improvisation." The core members as Kersti Abrams (alto saxophone, rhaita, maqrunah, and flute), Greg Baker (clarinet, percussion, and laptop), Mika Pontecorvo (flute, guitars, percussion, and laptop), and Elijah Pontecorvo (electric basses and theremin). For this particular concert they will be joined by two cellists, Adriane Pontecorvo and Mariko Miyakawa (also providing vocal and electronic support). The second half, beginning at 9 p.m., will be divided between two visiting groups from Los Angeles. The first, bandito overlord, calls itself a "Harsh Noise Dance Ritual" ensemble, whose "Frantic Ritual" was used for the soundtrack of Samur Khouja's film Bandito Overlord. They will be followed at 9:30 p.m. by Mynameisann!, currently on a United States tour to promote the recent release of their EP Shelter Remixes. The Luggage Store Gallery is located at 1007 Market Street; and, as usual, admission will be on a sliding scale between $6 and $10, payable at the door.
- SIMM, Sunday, August 31, 7:30 p.m.: This will be a two-set program beginning with Instagon. This group calls itself Garage Jazz, a garage band working with the structural materials of jazz. They are particularly distinguished for never giving more than one performance with the same ensemble, nor do they practice or hold rehearsals as a group prior to any performance. For Sunday's gig, Jaroba will perform on saxophones with rhythm provided by Lob on bass, Andre Custodio on drums, and Eduardo Poyart on keyboards. They will be followed at 8:30 p.m. by T.D. Skatchit. The initials are those of Tom Nunn and his cousin, David Michalak. Together they have developed a family of instruments called Skatch Boxes, built out of cardboard boxes and played with combs. Unless I am mistaken, Outsound Presents was responsible for my first encounter with Nunn; and the visual experience was as fascinating as the auditory. As usual, the venue will be the Musicians Union Hall at 116 Ninth Street, near the corner of Mission Street. General admission is $10 with an $8 rate for students and seniors.
Other events likely to be of interest are the following:
- Wednesday, August 27, 8 p.m., El Rio: Located deep in the Mission (on Mission Street just south of Cesar Chavez Street), El Rio describes itself as a "neighborhood Bar, Community Space and Garden." They maintain a relatively full calendar of performances every night. This particular evening will present a program entitled Delirious Summer, bringing together three groups that visit El Rio regularly. The Bay Area trio Grex, consisting of Karl Evangelista on guitar and vocals, Rei Scampavia on keyboards and vocals, and Robert Lopez on percussion, will open, having just returned from a national tour. They will be followed by a visit from Vancouver-based Spring, the quartet of Joseph Hirabayashi (guitars and vocals), Elliot Langford (guitars, piano, electric sitar, and vocals), Ridley Bishop (saxophones, bass, and vocals), and Kevin Romain (percussion and vocals). The final act will be Surplus 1980 with Moe! Staiano (guitars and vocals), Bill Wolter (guitars), Meine Twf (guitars), Amanda Chaudhary (keyboards), and Thomas Scandura (drums). El Rio is located at 3158 Mission Street, half a block south of Cesar Chavez Street; and admission is on a sliding scale between $5 and $10.
- Friday, August 29, 6 p.m., de Young Museum: Friday Nights at the de Young will present the Broken Shadows Family Band, led by trumpeter and vocalist Darren Johnston. This group describes itself as "New Roots Music for Internationalists." Performances on non-Western instruments are provided by Corinne Sykes (tamboura, percussion, and vocals), Faisal Zedan (derbekki, riqq, and vocals), and Marco Peris (tupan). Matt Szemela plays violin and also sings, and bass is provided by Jake Leckie. Admission is free with entry to the museum, which is located in Golden Gate Park at 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive,
- Monday, September 1, 8:30 p.m., Make Out Room: Make Out First Mondays is a series of performances out on the cutting edge of Bay Area jazz and improvisation. This will be a three-set program. The opening act will be DunkelpeK, the duo of percussionist Nava Dunkelman and Jakob Pek, who alternates between guitar and percussion. The second set will be by the jazz combo Nathan Clevenger Group, led by Clevenger on guitar. The other performers are Kasey Knudsen on alto saxophone, Cory Wright on tenor saxophone and clarinet, Aaron Novik on bass clarinet and clarinet, and a rhythm section of Sam Bevan on bass, and Jon Arkin on drums. The program will close with the free improvisation group Miami Ham, consisting of saxophonists Brian Pedersen and Josh Marshall and percussionists Robert Lopez and Sung Kim-Ogiku. The Make Out Room is located in the Mission at 3225 22nd Street, just west of Mission Street.

Beyond the Reward Pathway
What Is a Brain Pathway?
The Dopamine Pathways
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter used by the reward pathway (also called the mesolimbic pathway, which is closely linked with the mesocortical pathway). But there are two other important pathways in the brain that use dopamine: the nigrostriatal pathway and the tuberoinfundibular pathway. Generally, drugs that affect dopamine levels affect all three of these pathways.
Nigrostriatal pathway: Substantia nigra to striatum
- Motor control
- Death of neurons in this pathway is linked to Parkinson's Disease
Mesolimbic and Mesocortical pathways: Ventral tegmental area to nucleus accumbens, amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex
- Memory, motivation, emotion, reward, desire, and addiction
- Dysfunction is connected to hallucinations and schizophrenia
Tuberoinfundibular pathway: Hypothalamus to pituitary gland
- Hormone regulation, nurturing behavior, pregnancy, sensory processes
Dopamine and another neurotransmitter called serotonin are released by just a small number of neurons in the brain. But each of these neurons connects to thousands of other neurons in many areas of the brain, giving them a great deal of influence over complex processes.
The Serotonin Pathways
Serotonin is another neurotransmitter affected by many drugs of abuse, including cocaine, amphetamines, LSD, and alcohol. Serotonin is made by neurons in the Raphe nuclei. These neurons reach and dump serotonin onto almost the entire brain, as well as the spinal cord.
Serotonin plays a role in many brain processes, including body temperature regulation, sleep, mood, appetite, and pain. Problems with the serotonin pathway are linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and depression. Most prescription drugs used to treat depression today work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain.
Glutamate and GABA: A System in Balance
Glutamate and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) are the brain's most plentiful neurotransmitters. Over half of all brain synapses use glutamate, and 30-40% use GABA.
Since GABA is inhibitory and glutamate is excitatory, both neurotransmitters work together to control many processes, including the brain's overall level of excitation. Many of the drugs of abuse change the balance of glutamate or GABA, exerting tranquilizing or stimulating effects on the brain. Drugs that increase GABA or decrease glutamate are depressants. Those that decrease GABA or increase glutamate are tranquilizers or stimulants.
- Alcohol decreases glutamate activity.
- PCP, or "angel dust," increases glutamate activity.
- Caffeine increases glutamate activity and inhibits GABA release.
- Alcohol increases GABA activity.
- Tranquilizers increase GABA activity.

[artist id="502642″]Eminem[/artist]'s transition from the studio to the silver screen was a successful one. His 2002 film "8 Mile" was critically acclaimed and took home some MTV Movie Awards. But for Marshall, going from rapper to actor wasn't as easy. In fact, he said that some initial advice he had gotten from Ice Cube gave him a false sense of confidence.
"I think Ice Cube said this one time; I think I heard him say this one time," Em told Sway during their "RapFix Live" interview , which will stream on MTV.com on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. "If you can rap, if you can perform to the camera for singing and videos, it should be a pretty, fairly natural transition.
"I felt like having heard him say that was like, 'Oh, this may be fairly easy' — and it wasn't."
For Slim Shady, that wasn't the case. "It's a whole different thing, because you may be used to performing to the camera, but it's a whole different ball game when the music is off and you have lines that you need to say.
"It takes a minute to get used to."
Though there is no official word on when Eminem will return to the big screen in a starring role, the rapper has partnered up with fellow Detroit MC Royce Da 5'9″ for their upcoming Bad Meets Evil EP, Hell: The Sequel.
Tune in to "RapFix Live" on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET, when Eminem and Royce sit with Sway to talk about the making of the EP, the future of Shady Records and Eminem's rap inspiration.

For the past two weeks nearly everyone around the globe has been spellbound by a single bizzare mystery - an airliner that seems to have evaporated from existence. The news media has presented every so called "expert" who has offered every imaginable scenario ranging from the nonsensical to the downright impossible. And while 25 nations assume a frenzied search that has thus far turned up nothing, some folks are finding that their pteromerhanophobia, otherwise known as a fear of flying, seems to be kicking back in.
The fear of flying is one of the most rational fears a person can have. After all, air travel does require one to remain suspended in the air in a metal tube for hours, and despite the logical physics that explain that phenomena, the notion still feels abnormal to many. Statistics vary, but it's been estimated that about 40% of people have some level of anxiety about flying. These are people who get a bit nervous during turbulence and who may get a pre-flight drink to calm their nerves, but they still fly. On the other hand, it's estimated that about 6.5% of people experience such a profound fear that it prevents them from flying altogether.
The range and specifics of flight anxieties vary, however these appear to be among the most common:
- bad weather
- aircraft engine failure
- fire on the plane during a flight
- lack of visibility through the clouds
- heights
- turbulence
- unfamiliar crowds
- takeoffs
- germs onboard the aircraft
- faulty landings
- nausea
- flying over water
- doors opening in mid-air
- pilot error
- being out of control
- crashing
- trusting airline industry safety standards
- mechanics' errors
Budget Travel Magazine offers the following tips to help alleviate the fear of flying:
Give your phobia a name
Figuring out what triggers your fear in the first place is an important step toward conquering flight anxiety. Different aspects of flying can trigger different fears depending on the person—for instance, one person may be afraid of turbulence and feel nervous during a perfectly normal takeoff, while an individual with germaphobic tendencies may be more concerned about the spread of germs in a confined space. It helps to recognize that your phobia is irrational, but you need to be able to pinpoint the cause of your fear before you can take that next step.
Familiarize yourself with airplane noises
You're about to land and the plane is rattling like both of its wheels are about to fall off—is it time to panic? No, the carry-on luggage and the seat-back tables are shifting slightly—just like they do every time the plane takes off and lands. Sometimes all it takes to combat anxiety is a little information.
Check the turbulence forecast
While turbulence is a perfectly normal part of flying—it happens when the plane encounters normal weather patterns like air currents or clouds—the idea of shaking while in the air can be very unsettling. The more you know about what causes that shaky feeling and how much of it you can expect while you're airborne, the less you'll be afraid of it.
Bring a photo of your destination
Visualizing your destination and imagining yourself there can be a powerful antidote to stress—and can help keep you focused on the prize at the end of the journey. The idea is to take your mind off the little things that make you nervous about flying and focus on the positive aspects of your journey.
Skip the coffee—and the wine
Avoid both caffeine and alcohol, as they can leave you feeling more dehydrated during the flight. Nervous fliers should avoid a seemingly comforting pre-flight alcoholic beverage, since alcohol can also make it harder for your body to adjust to being airborne and bring on a nasty bout of jet lag. Instead, opt for water and a light meal pre-flight, or carry along a light snack like carrot sticks, nuts, or an apple to keep you feeling nourished.
Bring a book you've already started or tune into a television series you already know
In a nutshell—distraction works. One of the best ways to distract yourself during a flight is to bring a book that you've already started and are deeply engrossed in or a season of your favorite television show. Farchione says if people associate televisions with being safe at home, and there's a television on the plane, they will feel similar familiar feelings of comfort.
Share your secret with the flight attendants
It's a good idea to let others know you're not too keen on flying—you may be able to speak to the pilot briefly while you board the plane or receive extra attention from flight attendants during the flight. Sometimes just knowing that others are available to help you in case your anxiety surfaces is enough to help keep that anxiety in check.
Embrace safety information
Your plane is not going to crash (and whatever you do, do NOT start envisioning disaster scenarios). But knowing that you're prepared for anything can be empowering. Watch an airline safety video while you're still in the comfort of your home so that you can "master" the procedure in your head.
Have one or two relaxation remedies handy—but use them only as a last resort.
If you're among the millions who are affected with flight anxiety, monitor your media intake, particularly now as the details about Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 are running rampant. Avoid news coverage of plane crashes or other scary media images and by all means, airplane disaster movies. Remember that most flights arrive safely, but only the problem flights make the evening news.

I've always been a bit bemused when confronted with the phrase "food science." There's just something....hokey about it. I can't help suppressing a chuckle when I read it. It calls to mind men wearing thick rimmed glasses, white lab coats, and very serious expressions as they measure the elasticity of peanut butter between two cracker crusts.
But food science is a real discipline, and there are lots of people out there who are doing some pretty
I don't know what a rhythmical bubbling regime is, but just writing it makes me feel dirty and excited. I think I would like to experience one. Apparently so would these scientists.
The study examines just how the streams of bubbles that characterize Champagne get started and what determines their behavior. Apparently the streams of bubbles generally begin around tiny particulates (fibers, etc.) that end up on the inside of the glass accidentally or due to towel drying. These particles attract the gas as it emerges from solution and the way the gas bubbles form and cling to the particulate "nucleation sites" can cause rhythmic bubbling sequences.
I don't know about you, but that makes me a little weak in the knees.
All joking aside, apparently (and who am I to raise an eyebrow at science?) this research actually may have medical applications, as it may provide explanations for problems in the body "where undesired bubbles form."
Here's hoping most of your bubbles stay right where they belong. If you think you might (unlike me) actually understand a scientific paper about this sort of thing, I might recommend this paper on bubble formation from Gérard Liger-Belair and Philippe Jeandet, which is where I borrowed that lovely image from.

Kotohira is a charming town located in the countryside of Kagawa Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. Its main attraction is Kotohira-gu Shrine, colloquially known as Konpirasan, which is located on the top of a mountain. It takes a fair bit of climbing to ascend the approximately 800 steps to the main shrine, but is well worth the effort. The climb offers stunning views of the surrounding city and farmland, and there are a number of worship spots as well as vendors along the way. Konpirasan is one of Shikoku's most popular shrines.
Kotohira is also home to Kanamaruza, the oldest remaining Kabuki hall (kabuki is a type of traditional Japanese drama) in Japan. You can explore the hall and look at all the mechanisms and trapdoors. And don't forget to try the town's tasty Konpira Udon noodles!

The Russian Zarya FGB space tug was the cornerstone of the new International Space Station since it acted as an adapter between the US and Russian-built ISS segments and also provided some propulsion and propellant storage capabilities. It was closely based on the older Russian TKS spacecraft design that was intended as a ferry for the Almaz military station. The United States paid $220 million for the FGB (vs. $450 million for Lockheed's rejected 'Bus-1' option) and Khrunichev successfully completed the project on schedule and within budget. However, the launch had to be delayed by 17 months to November 1998 because the Russians were unable to complete their own ISS Zvezda service module on time.
The Russian-built propulsion module that was the first element of the International Space Station. Launched by a three-stage Proton rocket, the Zarya control module, also known by the technical term Functional Cargo Block and the Russian acronym FGB provided the station's initial propulsion and power. The 20,000 kg pressurized module was launched on Nov. 20 1998 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.
The module was named Zarya, meaning "sunrise", in tribute to the new beginning in space that would be ushered in by the its launch as the first component of the International Space Station (and to finally use the name the engineers wanted to call the first Russian space station, Salyut 1, 28 years earlier). Its launch marked the beginning of an international venture of unprecedented scale.
Less than two weeks after Zarya reached orbit, the Space Shuttle Endeavour rendezvoused with it and attached the U.S.-built Unity connecting module. Zarya was to provide orientation control, communications and electrical power attached to Unity for several months before the launch of the third component, a Russian-provided crew living quarters and early station core known as the Service Module. The Service Module would enhance or replace many functions of the Zarya. Later in the station's assembly sequence, the Zarya module was to be used primarily for its storage capacity and external fuel tanks.
Zarya's solar arrays and six nickel-cadmium batteries provided an average of 3 kilowatts of electrical power. Each of the two solar arrays was 11 m long and 3 m wide. Using the Russian Kurs system, the Zarya would perform an automated and remotely piloted rendezvous and docking with the Service Module in orbit. Its docking ports would accommodate Russian Soyuz piloted spacecraft and unpiloted Progress resupply spacecraft. The module was modified to allow it to be refueled by a Progress vehicle docked to its down-facing port if necessary. The module's 16 fuel tanks held more than 6 metric tons of propellant. The attitude control system for the module included 24 large steering jets and 12 small steering jets. Two large engines were available for reboosting the spacecraft and making major orbital changes.
After reaching the initial elliptical orbit and separating from the Proton's third stage, a set of pre-programmed commands automatically activated the module's systems and deployed the solar arrays and communications antennae. On ensuing days after several operational tests, the module was commanded to fire its engines and circularize its orbit at an altitude of about 390 km, the orbit at which Endeavour would rendezvous and capture the spacecraft using the Shuttle's robotic arm.
The U.S.-funded and Russian-built Zarya was a U.S. component of the station although it was built by the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Centre (KhSC) in Moscow under a subcontract to The Boeing Co. for NASA. It was shipped to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, launch site to begin launch preparations in January 1998.
AKA: Alpha-FGB; 77KM.
Gross mass: 20,000 kg (44,000 lb).
Unfuelled mass: 8,000 kg (17,600 lb).
First Launch: 1998.11.20.

White Flood Reborn (30 Servings)
This is really a nice upgrade. It's a true 1 scoop preworkout, for most, now. The focus feeling kicks in quickly. The energy is super clean. The pumps enhancement is very solid. I really find no need to add any bulk pump ingredients to this. The flavor of Watermelon is delicious. It's not overly sweet/strong. This flavor mixes incredibly well with Green Apple GreenMag. I don't really see anything lacking with this product.
I have tried quite a few Watermelon flavored products in my time, and I have to say CL did a good job and improvement of the past on their flavoring. This is not a Jolly Rancher Watermelon flavoring, but its not a Tart Watermelon if you know what I am saying. Its not overpowering but its good, refreshing more like it. It should be called Refreshing Watermelon IMO because its not strong (even as stated on the bottle 8oz per 1 scoop) you get that initial watermelon flavoring and then it fades fast on the aftertaste on the way down. The initial burst of flavoring is very good, like a ripe watermelon not overly sweet and well done. It is misleading because its a clear color when mixed, but overall I found that 6-8oz per scoop (one scoop) sits very well and brings out great flavoring, nothing overpowering.Scivation/Primaforce Anabolic Minds Rep

I really like this PWO, it gives good energy and pumps like a lot of products, however the one thing different I notice is that it gets me in the mindset to go lift weights in a way that I haven't seen before. There were days where I was feeling pretty meh, took a scoop of WFR, and 20, minutes later I'm sitting in my office chair screaming LIGHT WEIGHT BABY itching to hit the weight. Unfortunately, by the time I got 2/3 way through this container all 3 of these effects were not nearly as strong as when I started. At about the same time I noticed me left eye would start twitching after consuming WFR or even coffee. I could tell I had some CNS stress, like you see in people who drink pots and pots of coffee or anything like that.
The fact that I felt anything at all off of this preworkout was surprising though, as I'm pretty stim tolerant and I have used a few other PWO's recently and not felt anything at all even with larger doses. With WFR I was getting good energy, pumps, and mental clarity off of 1 scoop -although as stated the effect did decline over time with use.
On off days I felt fine, no negative side effects beyond the eye twitch which wasn't much to deal with. For the most part the Beta-alanine tingles weren't too bad, sometimes none at all.
I'll break these 3 stated effects down into ratings at the beginning and end of use
Beginning of use
Energy: 8/10
Pump: 10/10
Mental Focus: 9/10
Was there a crash? Y/N?: No
End of use
Energy: 7/10
Pump: 7/10
Mental Focus: 7/10
Was there a crash? Y/N?: Yes, but only occasionally.
Ending statement
I like this PWO a lot, I was surprised how well it was working and was upset that the effects were declining with use, however even at the end I was getting better results than other PWO's give at higher doses. On off days I felt fine. The Pumps and mental clarity were the 2 most outstanding effects I noticed. Overall, I would recommend this to my gym buddies.
Thanks again to Controlled Labs for allowing me to Log this product! If you haven't seen it, check it out!
Taste: 9.5/10 - Smooth, crisp, clean fruit punch flavor.When chilled it is absolutely delicious.No aftertaste or any chemical taste to it.
Mixability: 9/10 - mixes almost completely clear with only like 2-3 shakes of my shaker. The only downfall is a little bit of settling after a while (i sip my preworkout throughout my workout). It takes a while for this to occur and it is minimal but I must note it.
Energy:9/10- I am a stim junkie so I dont give it a 10/10 but the energy that it does deliver with its 225mg caffeine per scoop is great. Very clean jitter free energy that lasts all day it seems sometimes. No crash at all.
Pumps: 9/10 -Although this is not advertised as a pump product it definitely shines above the original white flood in this department.
Endurance:9/10 I think the increased pumps leads to the increased endurance . There was def. an increase in endurance while on WFR. Rest periods between sets were much less than usual for sure.
Strength:8/10- I set some new prs while on wfr so cannot complain
Overall - 9/10 - Overall great product from taste to effectiveness. If you ever tried the original WF it is similar with added goodies that makes it even better!!! This is an extremely solid preworkout product that I would highly recommend!
Let me preface this by saying I have tried almost every worthy pre out there. It's an addiction and I need help. Craze, new gameday, superdrive, fierce domination, jacked and micro, enhanced, old flood, animal rage, and countless others.
Top 3 pre reborn-domination, micro with bronkaid, gameday.
Post white flood reborn- micro with bronkaid, reborn, domination.
White flood reborn is much improved from the old formula. I love CL but with the original and the beet root v2 I always had a metallic taste that I couldn't rid of. No matter how much I tried. This is gone with reborn.
Improvements from old flood- taste- much better with no beet root aftertaste... Which didn't really bother me anyways energy seems to also be slightly higher. Focus- much better probably due to shizandrol a.
Energy- 8.5
energy was great. Very clean energy that onset about 30 min after ingestion and slowly tapered off 2-3 hrs later. Had no crash which was great for am workouts. Also did not keep me up during night workouts. Perfect clean energy without being jittered or nauseous.
Focus- 8.5
Focus was spot on. I used to like craze for focus... Then I realized I wasn't really working out. Drink craze....2 hrs later..... 3 sets of curls done in 10 min and 1hr 50 spent Internet browsing lol. Too much focus may not be beneficial without the energy. This was a perfect combo.
Pump was the same as the old flood. Great as a stand alone! When I stacked it with hemavol it was an easy 10. On my higher rep exercises it was easily acquired and lasted throughout.
Taste doesn't matter but it was great. I had lemonade and it had a slight lemon/tangy taste. Only used about 8oz and it was perfect. Most pres taste ok... This one was great. New superdrive tastes amazing too
Overall-reborn can't really be beat. Price per serving with great effects makes it perfect for me And almost anyone out there. Controlled labs doesn't put out bad products and this one is no different. I highly recommend! Thanks again for the opportunity.
So I am a bit of a stim junky and have tried almost every preworkout you can imagine at some point or another, yes, it is truely an addiction for me, but since I have low blood pressure, it's not exactly a bad thing lol. I've tried 1MR, Labrada Supercharge, Fast Fuel, Redline, n02 drinks, fast twitch, C4, Jack3d Micro, ConDense, Bullnox Androrush, Mass Machine Nutrition, Hemavol, Alphamine, Optimum Nutrition Pre, and countless other ones that I can't even remember. Somehow though, I always seem to default back to White Flood. It gives me a unique feeling that I cannot describe, unlike most other preworkouts, Anyway, I loved the old formula, but I was a little bit hesitant when I heard it had been reformulated. In fact, when I read the label, i was almost disappointed. Boy was I wrong!! The energy, taste, and PUMP, yes PUMP were amazing with the new one! I was actually quite happy because I never got much of a pump from the old stuff. Anyway here are the specifics
Preworkout stack: White Flood Reborn (1.25 scoops), Purple Wraath (1 scoop), Glycergrow (3 scoops)
Price: 5/5 For what you get, it's cheap! That's one of the reasons I've always loved this product! For what you get, you can't really beat the price.
Energy: 4.5/5 Wow! I'm actually quite surprised that the new formula only has 225mg caffeine because it feels like much more, same thing with the old formula. With the new formula I only need 1-1.25 scoops, while with the old formula i needed 2-2.5 scoops. The boost I get from just that exceeds that of an entire redline energy shot which contains 326mg caffeine and is the strongest energy drink I've ever tried. Also, the old formula would wear off after about 90 minutes and would be fully out of my system in about 3.5 hours. The new formula keeps me amped for a good 2.5-3 hours and doesn't fully leave my system for 5-6 hours.
Taste: 4.5/5 Spot on, watermelon flavor tastes like kool aid! Better than the old formula which always had a weird aftertaste and was rather harsh.
Pump: 4.5/5 A PUMP!!! FROM WHITE FLOOD!!!! That was the only thing I didn't like about the old formula. Where was the pump?! Controlled labs did an excellent job at addressing that issue in their new formula. A nice solid pump. Not an insane (painful) pump, but not a little pump either. A nice good strong pump. Perfect!
Overall: 5/5 Energy, focus, price, pump! Thank you controlled labs once again for an excellent product! Another reason why this is my favorite supplement company
I love the stuff. My friend vomited after working out on it.
Taste: who cares
Energy/motivation: 7/10
Pumps: 7/10
Crash: N/A
Overal: great product but it did quit working on me last time.
Just about to finish my White flood reborn. This is definitely a staple for my pre-workout.
Taste: 4/5 Juicy Watermelon tasted pretty good.
Focus and Energy: 5/5 For some reason I was so focused when I took this. This is where it shines. Didn't get the jitters, very clean energy.
Pump: 4/5 Got pretty good pumps from this. Muscles were fuller.
Overall would I recommend this to a friend? HELL YEAH I would! Great Pre-workout guys.
So the Pineapple flavor of WFR is awesome! This is the first pineapple PRE that I have tried and it has set the bar high for anybody else that wants to do a pineapple flavor! There really isn't any need to go over how well WFR works but for the sake of the review, I will.
Mix: Easy! Mixes very well in little water in just a water bottle. no need for a shaker.
Taste: Great!
Smell: Great! Smells pretty much like it tastes.
Energy: 8/10 Just got done logging another PRE and was using 2 scoops at a time when I started using the WFR. 1 scoop of the WFR was just as good as the 2 scoops of the other with no crash.
Endurance: 8/10 Could definitely tell a difference with the amount of reps I was able to perform before my muscles fatigued.
Really happy with this product and hope that CL keeps the pineapple flavor available!"Aren't two sparrows sold for a small coin? But not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father knowing about it already. Even the hairs of your head are all counted. Don't be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows."
Mixability: 10/10 no problems with this
Energy: 9/10 very good energy with 1/2-3/4 scoop for myself who is sensitive to stims.
Focus: 7/10 It was Ok I was focused because I had energy but that tunnel vision type.
Taste:8/10 I have the pineapple which is the cheapest on Amazon. Taste matters little to me so I am an easy grader
Value: 10/10 On amazon I believe I paid $20-22. Among the most affordable of pre workouts.
Overall a solid 8/10. I may never be blown away by controlled lab products but I am never disappointed. They have great customer service and sales reps and their approach to things is solid and trustworthy. I really liked the older formula of white flood. This new formula comes to those who have built up a strong tolerance to the old formula and other products.

Flavor was pineapple and it was a newly released flavored that I just finished logging. I was a big fan of V2 and was surprised when it was reformulated as I thought it didn't need to be.
Taste and Mix : 8/10
The smell is like a hard pineapple candy without any chemical smell so thats a plus. Its a white powder with specks of black here and there. It mixes clear and for the most part it dissolves but as I drank it there were some particles still left in my mixing container.
As for the taste it wasn't very strong and overpowering and more of a subtle taste. I was kind of expecting a stronger and sweeter pineapple taste but I had to remind myself that its a supplement and not a drink so the less sweet and overpowering flavor the better.
Performance 7.5-8/10
The energy at 1 scoop is decent for the most part as it yields 225mg of caffeine which is borderline of being just right for me. Usually I like somewhere from 250-300mg with an average of 250mg so it would have been better it was 250mg a scoop. Which I know it isn't that much of a difference but its more of a well rounded number for me. But a little over a full scoop can help with that.
Focus is about an 8 too with it being decent as well. Also depends on how my body is feeling that day. Either being tired, crappy sleep, life, ect.
But focus is where I feel was better in V2.
Pump and endurance 7.5/10
I'm not big on pump as I feel that is doesn't really help with workouts only gives you a "feeling"
But with Reborn I didn't get a strong pump as I did with V2. I enjoyed the Beet root extract on V2 which probably gave a better pump.
Endurance is about the same, its there but not as strong as I felt with V2.
Overall its a smoother feeling than V2 and as I get older smoother and cleaner is preferred these days. I still have some V2 left which is how I was able to make a comparison. But I've also stocked up on a bunch of Reborn from various sales. So I'm not disregarding it.
Flavor: Pineapple great flavor! Top notch for me as far as PWO go. not too strong, fruity, kinda tart but without that weird intense chemical-tasting fruit flavor. I like that they went with a subtle label, as opposed to something super loud & brash.
Pump: Wasnt a major factor in this, but wasnt bad either. Not enough to make leg days uncomfortable, but still enough to look a lil extra buff after a workout. Pop a couple agamtine caps if youre looking for a bigger pump.
Mind-Muscle: This product never failed at amping me up, but it did not send me into a frenzy. Just the right level Im ready, but not bouncing off the walls. Sometimes when the stims get way high, I get more flustered than drawn into lifting.
Energy: 1 scoop did the trick the entire run. Smooth definitely a stim PWO, but not a super high level. Probably in the 1-2 cups of coffee range?... I really like the relative lack of comedown. Ill get to work & not be too tired or still all raged out & be able to sip a cup of coffee thru the morning without feeling my heart jumping from my chest
Overall: 4/5 - I really enjoyed this product & will definitely be adding it into the arsenal! Awesome flavor & solid energy - It is the most well-rounded PWO Ive had the pleasure of using.

"Say It With Flowers" by Suzanne D. Williams is the third book of her Italian series. While the reader doesn't need to read the first books to enjoy this one, it continues the stories of the Bottari family and uses the same characters in supporting roles.
Benito Bottari owns a flower shop. When Arabella Howland comes in to order flowers, he is immediately taken with her beautiful appearance. But, she's shopping for flowers for her wedding. Several years ago, Benito fell in love with a married woman, and he must avoid making the same mistake again.
Arabella has known her fiancée for two years. He's convinced her to quit her job, move into his house, and let him manage all of her money. Arabella can't see the telltale signs of an abusive relationship, but her best friend, Tillie, knows something isn't right. Tillie speaks to Benito and convinces him that he must do something to stop this wedding before it's too late.
The author did a good job researching and portraying an abusive relationship. While it's a simple story that doesn't go into great detail, it still shows the reader that when your heart tells you something isn't right, it's a good idea to listen to that intuition.
The story includes abusive scenes that are tastefully described. It's a bit more violent than most Christian romances. The main characters are also a bit different from other Christian books because they are believing sinners dealing with temptation.

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Book 15 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Quote 4
(Telemachos:) 'I will not willingly thrust you away from my balanced ship. Come, then, with me. There you will be entertained, from what we have left.' (15.280-281)
Telemachos shows hospitality even to a complete stranger. This means the laws of the gods are more important than the laws of the mortals.
Quote 5
Again, the message is to endure suffering as it can not be avoided. Of course, Odysseus will just be biding his time until he can deliver some serious (and seemingly excessive) payback.
(Odysseus:) 'There is nothing worse for mortal men than the vagrant life, but still for the sake of the cursed stomach people endure hard sorrows, when roving and pain and grief befall them.' (15.343-345)
Quote 6
(Eumaios:) 'From the heart she [Penelope] loved me dearly. Now I go lacking all these things, but the blessed immortals prosper all the work that I myself do abiding here, whence I eat and drink and give to people I honor; but there is no sweet occasion now to hear from my mistress in word or fact, since the evil has fallen upon our household […].' (15.370-375)
Many of the servants in Odysseus's house hold a familial loyalty for the royal family.

The holidays are well over with and there's only one good thing that comes with that… SALES! Or as the the Kardashian girls would put it: a Kardashian Klearance! We use a lot of Kardashian Kollection on Penny Chic and many of you have asked me to let you know when their chic garb goes on sale, so this post is dedicated to just that!
These two outfits are very different but still have that edge that is unmistakably Kardashian. The first one modeled by yours truly is comfort chic because of the sweater, but paired with the fringe skirt, there's a rockstar disco element to it which makes it more fun and nighttime! The skirt is an amazing deal for $24.99!
The second outfit, modeled by our stylish guest blogger Sade of The Icon Concierge, is very trendy and fashion forward, yet also very practical. I love the addition of the bright pink blazer into the mix! Sade happens to work in fashion, but if there wasn't a question already, you'd know it already just by looking at the way the outfit was pieced together. The booties for $25 show us that she's a smart fashionista! Booties like those are comfortable to walk in because of the platform. And the price doesn't hurt either!! The blazer is a fun twist for work if you're in a creative environment and the rhinestone tee is a steal for 11 bucks!
Many of you may also remember Marcy Guevara who modeled some pieces from the Kardashian Kurves line (which also happens to be on sale!) Click to see the Kurvy Chic post!

Send your little cape-wearing, knee-skinning, dirt-attracting dare devil off to school this fall with the Vandor Wonder Woman Tin Box ($11). She can use it for her lunches (fabulously packed by you, wonder mom!) or for her loose school supplies like pencils, pens, markers, and scissors. If you're anything like our loving moms were (and we suspect you are), you'll tuck in a little note for her to find once she opens her box up at school. *Sigh* They grow up so fast, don't they?

About the Pie Girl:
The Pie Girl is Amanda Reaume, the Executive Director of The Antigone Foundation. This is the video featuring her first and second pie in the face!
About the Challenge and the Pies:
Every year, I vow to personally sell 100 of The Antigone Foundation's Dreams for Women calendars. This year, for every ten calendars that I sell, I will get a pie thrown in my face and videotape it for all you to see. Why would I do such a thing? Well, other than the fact that I like pie (which is always delicious), I also understand that in the modern world of fundraising, people like to see results from their volunteer contributions.
And while the results that I have in mind are hundreds of young women getting leadership training, we all know that the more effective motivator is the potential of seeing someone you like and respect (right people?) doing something ridiculous and embarrassing.
And so, I combed through fundraising ideas and thought about doing things like shaving my head (I am sure that would work out wonderfully, but then I would just confirm feminist stereotypes...), shaving my eyebrows (that would just look weird), and settled finally on the comedic gold of getting pied in the face.
As you will see in a later Challenge update, pieing people in the face has a long history from the three Stooges to Laurel and Hardy. And then of course there is Amanda Reaume.

The Calendar
Launched in 2008 and organized by the Antigone Foundation, this is our Third Annual Dreams for Women Calendar. This year, we asked women from Canada and the World to contribute to mark the historic occasion of Women's Worlds 2011 taking place in Ottawa-Gatineau. July 3-7, 2011. This important interdisciplinary gathering, which happens every three years in different countries around the world, focuses on research pertaining to women's issues and welcomes researchers and activists.
The 2011 Dreams for Women calendar features original postcard art created by women from across Canada and around the world who are part of the Women`s Worlds movement!
About Dreams for Women:
The Dreams for Women postcard art project has attracted worldwide attention and interest, garnering media attention and submissions from as far away as Japan, Germany, Brazil, France and Los Angeles. The Dreams for Women art project asks women and men of all ages to tell us what their dreams are for women by making postcards.
About The Antigone Foundation:
The Antigone Foundation is an organization that seeks to encourage young women aged 10-35 to become politically and civically engaged. We are interested in inspiring young women to get involved in leadership, politics, activism and feminism.
About Women`s Worlds 2011:
Women's Worlds 2011 will take place in Ottawa-Gattineau July 3-7, 2011. The theme of Women's Worlds 2011 is "Inclusions, exclusions, and seclusions: Living in a globalized world." The congress is expected to draw around 2000 participants from around the world.
WW 2011 will be a unique global event that will enhance women's leadership skills and organizational capacity, support the exchange of knowledge and ideas, and foster research and action networks on women's issues. WW 2011 is a chance to move beyond discussion -- to connect and reconnect around common strategies and political agendas so that women's equality and human rights may truly advance.
The first Women's Worlds congress was held at Haifa University in December of 1981. Since then, WW has taken place every three years in a different part of the world. WW 2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the congress.

Denise Donatelli: Sails (Velas Icadas)
Sails (Velas Icadas)
Denise Donatelli (vocals)
What Lies Within (Savant SCD-2095)
Denise Donatelli (vocals),
Bob Sheppard (soprano sax, flute & alto flute), Geoffrey Keezer (piano), Hamilton Price (bass), Marvin "Smitty" Smith (drums).
Composed by I. Lins & V. Martins.
Recorded: Chatsworth, CA, July 21-23, 2007
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
Denise Donatelli can flat out sing, but many vocalists can sing, so what makes Donatelli worth listening to? Her choice of music is superlative – the songs on this CD span artists from Milton Nascimento to Joni Mitchell – and the arrangements by talented keyboardist Geoff Keezer are perfectly tailored to showcase Donatelli's vocal and interpretive talents. The combination is potent, and the musicians are all thoroughly professional and complementary. On Ivan Lins's magical "Sails," Donatelli's smooth, unfettered delivery slides through the lilting melodic twists and turns with feeling and grace. As Sheppard tracks seamlessly through the intro, Keezer prods the rhythm section through its staccato beat. Keezer's lyricism is on show during his solo, and the scatting Donatelli flexes her vocal chops successfully without becoming tedious. She offers a fresh approach to songs worthy of being revisited, and has the vocal acumen to make it interesting without gimmicks or pyrotechnics. It's good to hear a new voice with such promise.

Alternative Loans
What is an Alternative Loan?
An alternative loan is a credit-based loan intended for educational expenses. Alternative loans are offered by private lenders and are not a part of the Federal Direct Loan Program.
What does "School-certified" mean? The Financial Aid Office will certify (verify that you are eligible for) an alternative education loan if your lender's loan eligibility requirements are met.
Alternative loans are considered a Financial Aid resource and are applied to your Cost of Attendance. This may reduce the type and amount of other aid you may receive. Alternative loans are serious financial obligations that must be repaid. These loans often have terms and conditions that are different than those of the federal loan programs.
How do I Apply for an Alternative Loan?
Most lenders offer the choice of applying on-line or by telephone. Once you have completed the application, the lender will contact the Financial Aid Office directly for the school certification. The Financial Aid Office ONLY accepts certification requests that come directly from the lender. Loan processing can take several weeks so please plan accordingly.
Selecting a Lender for an Alternative Loan
Salem College does not provide a preferred lender list for alternative student loans. If you are interested in applying for an alternative loan, you will need to research and compare loan options on your own.
An internet search for "Certified Alternative Loans" should provide you with multiple lender choices.
Do Your Research
Alternative student loans differ from lender to lender. It's important to ask questions when seeking a private student loan, so you can compare loans, and choose the one that best fits your needs.
Here are a few questions you might want to ask a potential lender about any private student loan you are considering:
- Will I need a cosigner?
- What is the interest rate?
- Will I need to make payments while I am in school?
- Are there any fees?
- Is there a minimum or maximum amount I can borrow?
- Does the lender require Satisfactory Academic Progress?
- When does the lender capitalize accrued interest? (that is, add any unpaid interest to the principal loan balance, which increases the amount of money you have to pay back)
- Does the lender combine billing statements for federal and private student loans so I only have one monthly payment?
- Does the lender offer electronic payments?
- Can I use this loan to cover an unpaid balance from a previous school term?
- Does the lender offer interest rate reductions or other incentives to borrowers?
Other Frequently Asked Questions
What are the disadvantages of an alternative loan?
- Higher interest rates and fees than federal loan programs.
- You must have a satisfactory credit history and/or use a co-signer to be eligible for these loans.
- School-certified alternative loans are considered a source of financial aid and must be included in your financial aid award package. This may limit how much you can borrow.
- You cannot consolidate alternative loans with federal loans.
How much loan am I eligible to receive?
Your loan eligibility is based on your Cost of Attendance (COA) minus any other awarded financial
aid. Salem College cannot certify your loan amount above your maximum eligibility.
Has my loan been approved?
Please be aware that "pre-approval" is not the same thing as a final approval because once the lender receives the school certification record the loan could still be denied by the lender. Please be sure to complete the application in full to avoid delays in the processing of your application.
Can I use my alternative loan to defer payment of my bill at Salem?
If the Financial Aid Office receives an approved school certification request from your lender, your alternative loan amount may defer (count as a credit) your bill.
What is the loan period as requested by the lender's loan application? The loan period for:
- The academic year is August 2015– May 2016.
- The fall semester is August 2015 – December 2015.
- The spring semester is February 2016 – May 2016.
- The summer semester is May 2016 – August 2016.
Alternative Loan Tips
- Never borrow money you do not absolutely need. Before you explore private student loans, be sure you exhaust your other funding options, and then you will understand how much money you need to borrow through an alternative loan.
- Be selective in the lender you choose – compare benefits.
- Budget for repayment.
○ Be realistic about what your salary will be when you graduate from college.
○ Add up the total amount you will owe on all your student loans.
○ Estimate what your monthly payments will be.
○ Compare your estimated monthly payment with your estimated monthly income.

When Is Cancelled Debt Considered Income?
If you owe money to someone and are unable to pay, your creditor may cancel, or forgive, the money you owe. In many instances, the Internal Revenue Service treats this cancelled debt as taxable income. In fact, if the value of the debt is $600 or more, you will receive Form 1099-C from the creditor. (The creditor will provide the IRS a copy of that same form.)
Cancelled Debt as Taxable Income
In general, cancelled debt is NOT considered taxable income if:
- The cancelled debt is a bequest, inheritance or gift
- If your student loan debt was cancelled in exchange for your work in a certain profession
- Your debt was cancelled during bankruptcy
- You were insolvent immediately before the cancellation
- The cancelled debt is a result of a mortgage modification or foreclosure between the years of 2007 and 2013, per the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act
In addition, certain cancelled farm debt may not be treated as taxable income.
Federal and state tax laws can be complicated. If you receive a Form 1099-C and are unsure of whether you must report the cancelled debt as income, consult with a tax attorney or accountant.

Café Grumpy Replacing Starbucks in Grand Central Terminal
So come on, everybody get happy.
The first two seasons of Girls may have given Café Grumpy, the Greenpoint-based coffee chainlet, a big boost in the form of nonstop Hannah Horvath tour-bus traffic, but it's the company's dedication to sourcing, roasting, and brewing that's really earned it serious coffee cred. The good news for anyone who cares about espresso is that Grumpy will indeed replace one of Grand Central Terminal's Starbucks locations, as part of the MTA's previously announced push to put more "locally owned small businesses" in front of thousands of commuters. The shop is on time or close to schedule for a May grand opening. [Thirsty NYC, Related]

Mike Proctor told his wife and son he saw 10,000,000 angels shortly before he died, according to an article in Godreports, Wednesday, March 5. Proctor, who survived 22 surgeries during his lifetime, was quiet about his faith though, according to a report in the Christian Post today.
He never discussed with his son Andy or his wife Lydia his spiritual beliefs which caused them some concern during his last days on earth. Mike never had an easy life beginning with junvenile diabetes. As a result of that affliction, physicians determined it was necessary to amputate the lower part of his right leg in 2001. Years later the toes on his left foot had to be removed.
Andy recalled his dad maintained an upbeat attitude throughout all his travails. He quoted his dad as joking, "I was six feet tall, then I lost a foot and a half."
When the rest of his right leg was recently amputated his overall health deteriorated quickly.
Andy said, "He was on dailysis and had a feeeding tube. His body was shutting down at the end."
A dedicated believer, Andy visited his father in the hospital Jan. 29. He realized it likely woud be his last chance to visit with his dad about his eternal existence. Andy was depressed when his dad Mike was unresponsive. Andy hoped his dad could hear him, but he wasn't sure.
Assuming his dad could hear what he was saying, Andy said, "Dad, I don't want anything to happen to you, but if something does happen to you, I want to know I will get to see you again in heaven."
Andy shared the gospel with this father, still not knowing for sure if he could even hear him. There was no response such as a squeeze of the hand and no wink to verify to Andy his ailing father heard him.
Not willing to give up, Andy visited his father on Super Bowl Sunday. He was encouraged when he realized his father could talk once again on this fateful day.
When he asked his dad if he'd heard him a few days earlier, his dad responded with one word, "Yes."
When he further asked, "If something happened to you would you go to heaven?"
His dad pointed both hands up toward the sky.
"Have you accepted Jesus?"
When he was awake the doctors asked Mike if he wanted to be disconnected from life support.
"I don't want to do it anymore," Mike told the doctors.
On the day he was removed from life support Mike told his family members who were gathered around him that he saw ten million angels.
His family was relieved they'd been given reassurance Mike would be in heaven.
