If you have been charged with drinking and driving, you may have a defence. Under Canadian law, the consequences of a conviction may be both costly and devastating. Do not plead guilty before you consult a criminal lawyer as you may have a defence.
A conviction for impaired driving, drive over 80, care or control, refuse breath sample, or refuse to do tests or provide a bodily fluid sample to determine if your ability to drive is impaired by a drug means the suspension of your driver's licence, a criminal record and a huge hike in your motor vehicle insurance premiums. If your job involves driving, you may lose your livelihood.
If you've been charged with drinking and driving, that is, over 80, impaired operation or care or control of a motor vehicle, or refuse to provide a suitable breath sample, you are liable to the following penalties upon conviction:
For a first offence: a minimum fine of $1,000; a minimum one-year driving prohibition; in most provinces including Ontario you may be able to drive after three months if you install an alcohol ignition-interlock device. (In Ontario you are eligible to drive after three months with an interlock device only if you plead guilty; if you are found guilty after trial, the minimum suspension period is six months.) see news story.)
For a second offence: a minimum jail sentence of 30 days; a minimum driving prohibition of two years; in Ontario, a three-year licence suspension if the prior conviction was registered within the last 10 years (the suspension starts upon conviction); in some provinces (not Ontario), you may be able to drive after six months if you install an alcohol ignition-interlock device.
For a third offence: a minimum jail sentence of 120 days; a driving prohibition of at least three years; in Ontario, a life-time suspension if the prior convictions were registered after September 30, 1993, and all convictions occur within 10 years of each other; after completion of assessment and a remedial program, a life-time suspension may be reduced to 10 years from the date of conviction; in some provinces (not Ontario), you may be able to drive after 12 months if you install an alcohol ignition-interlock device.
Four or more convictions: If you are convicted of a fourth or subsequent offence and you hold an Ontario driver's licence your licence will be permanently suspended with no possibility of reinstatement; in determining the number of prior convictions only those registered within 10 years of each other are taken into account, or for convictions before September 30, 1993, only those that are up to five years apart; for those holding a licence issued in provinces other than Ontario, it may be possible to drive after 12 months if you install an alcohol ignition-interlock device.
Other driving offences and out-of-province convictions: In Ontario, convictions (or discharges) registered after September 30, 1993, for dangerous driving, flee police and fail to remain at the scene of an accident are also taken into account in determining the number of previous convictions. Convictions from other provinces are also considered. Convictions or discharges for dangerous driving, flee police and fail to remain will result in licence suspension in Ontario in the same way as a conviction for a drinking and driving offence.
Multiple convictions: in Ontario, if you are convicted of two or more Criminal Code driving offences relating to the same incident, such as Impaired Driving and Refuse Breath Sample, your licence will be suspended as if there had been a single conviction. Thus, if you have no prior convictions, you will lose your licence for one year only. (This is so even if the offences relate to separate incidents occurring the same day, such as Fail to Remain at the Scene of an Accident or Dangerous Driving followed by a drink drive charge, provided the convictions are entered the same day at the same court.) However, if the offences arise out of separate incidents on different dates your licence will be suspended for one year for the first conviction and three for the second. The suspensions run from the conviction date and are not consecutive. (Exception: a suspension for Drive Disqualified runs consecutive to any other suspensions.)
Twice the legal limit: The courts may impose a harsher penalty on drivers who register a blood alcohol level in excess of 160 mg per cent, that is, over twice the legal limit.
Note: The court-imposed driving prohibition runs concurrently with the licence suspension that kicks in automatically under provincial law so that, for example, a one-year prohibition for a first offence expires at the same time as the one-year suspension in Ontario. The suspension and prohibition commence upon conviction. However, the length of the prohibition is increased by any jail term to which the offender is sentenced. The provincial driving suspension is extended (at least in Ontario) so that it ends at the same time as the prohibition.
Under reciprocity accords, a New York State or Michigan driver's licence will be suspended following a conviction in Ontario for drinking and driving in Ontario.
Authorities in other states could be informed if drinking and driving charges are laid in Canada against the holder of a U.S. driver's licence. For example, in Ontario, police could seize the driver's licence of an American charged with driving with excess alcohol or refusal to provide a breath sample. On receiving the licence, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation could return it to the department of transportation for the issuing state and advise it of the reason for the seizure.
If you are a U.S. citizen or visitor to Canada convicted of a drinking and driving offence in Canada, see information on immigration impact.
If you are convicted of drinking and driving, your fingerprints and photographs will be retained by the RCMP in Ottawa. And the next time you're pulled, your record will show up when police run a routine check.
A conviction also means you will have a criminal record which could hurt your employment and restrict your ability to travel. However, it should not prevent you from visiting the United States as generally it is not a crime of moral turpitude under U.S. immigration law.
If you are planning a trip to the U.S., as a precaution carry a certified true copy of the information (court document) relating to the conviction and a copy of the Criminal Code section under which you were convicted.
It is wise also to have a letter from your doctor stating you are not addicted to alcohol or drugs. If available, bring a certified true transcript of the evidence underlying your conviction as well.
Your motor vehicle insurance rates will skyrocket after a conviction. In Ontario, you will probably be required to insure with Facility Association, which insures high-risk drivers and exacts high premiums. For each of the three years following your conviction, Facility Association will levy a 100 per cent surcharge atop your premiums. It will impose more surcharges, up to a maximum of 250 per cent for other convictions relating to the same incident such as careless driving or fail to remain at the scene of an accident. Each insurance company has its own conviction surcharge schedule.
Ontario drivers who register a blood-alcohol reading of over 80 mgs. in 100 ml. of blood or refuse or fail to provide a breath sample have their licence immediately suspended for 90 days. Other provinces have similar schemes. The 90-day suspension is not a criminal penalty; no finding of guilt is required before it takes effect.
In Ontario, the Ministry of Transportation mails you a reinstatement notice eight days before the end of the suspension period. To get your licence back you must attend at a Ministry of Transportation office with two pieces of government-issued ID to confirm your identity and pay a $150 "monetary penalty."
The suspension may lead to imposition of an insurance surcharge. In Ontario, if you successfully defend the charge that led to the suspension, provide a certified copy of the information (charging document) to your insurance company. Upon renewal of your policy, the surcharge should be removed.
In Ontario, persons convicted of drinking and driving offences must complete a remedial program at a cost of $578 plus GST before licence reinstatement.
First offenders and repeat offenders (persons with a prior conviction in the last 10 years) must be assessed and finish an 8-hour education program or 16 hours of treatment. A follow-up interview is conducted six months later, with the result that the program takes about eight months to complete. You are advised to commence the program early to ensure licence reinstatement without delay upon lapse of your licence suspension and driving prohibition.
If you have completed the remedial program and paid the $150 reinstatement fee, the Ministry of Transportation mails you a new licence at the end of the suspension period.
For more information see Back on Track.
Anyone convicted in Ontario of a drinking and driving offence must install an ignition interlock in their vehicle once their driving privileges are restored. Before starting the car, the driver must blow into the device. If an impermissible level of alcohol is detected, the car will not start.
Persons charged with a first offence in Ontario who plead guilty within 90 days of being charged may be able to drive after three months with an interlock device and apply to remove it after a minimum of nine months. If they are sentenced more than 90 days after being charged, they must wait at least six months before being able to drive with an interlock and can apply for its removal after waiting at least one year. For more information on the interlock program see Suspensions cut for impaired drivers.
Over 80 refers to the amount of alcohol in your blood as measured by a breath or blood test. The legal blood alcohol level in Canada is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. (In most U.S. states it's 100 mgs.; in Sweden it's 20 mgs.)
A charge of impaired operation of a motor vehicle may be laid if police believe your ability to drive a motor vehicle is impaired - however slightly - as a result of drinking (or drugs). Typically, this charge is laid if there is evidence of bad driving, slurred speech, imbalance, and/or fumbling.
In some cases, where there is weak evidence of impairment, the Crown might secure a report from a toxicologist establishing that your ability to operate a motor vehicle would be impaired at any blood alcohol level above the legal limit.
A charge of refuse to provide a suitable sample of breath ("refuse sample" for short) is laid after you fail or refuse without reasonable excuse to provide a breath sample either into a roadside screening device or a breathalyzer instrument. The roadside screening device test is administered to determine whether you are over the legal limit; if you register a fail on the device, you will be asked to undergo a breath test which measures the amount of alcohol in your blood.
Often a charge of Impaired Operation is laid along with a charge of Drive Over 80 or Refuse Sample.
You do not have to be caught driving to be charged with Over 80 or Impaired. It's enough if you're in "care or control." You are presumed to be in care or control if police find you sitting in the driver's seat.
However, you may rebut the presumption if your intention on entering the driver's seat was not to drive (e.g., to sleep). If you rebut the presumption, you might still be found guilty if the Crown can show that you performed some act or acts involving the vehicle or its fittings, or conduct associated with the vehicle, that involve the risk of putting it in motion or some other danger to persons or property arising from the vehicle.
The Supreme Court of Canada in a 2012 ruling held that the risk of danger must be realistic and not just theoretically possible. The court noted: "In the absence of evidence to the contrary, a realistic risk of danger will normally be the only reasonable inference where the Crown establishes impairment and a present ability to set the vehicle in motion."
Beware: you may be found in care or control even if you are outside your vehicle.
Numerous defences can be raised on a charge of Over 80. A few of the most common are described below and on the pages that follow. Availability of any defence depends on the facts of your case.
Where the first breath test is taken within two hours of the time of the alleged driving or care or control, you can win an acquittal by raising a reasonable doubt about the reliability of the breath test results. Only evidence that the breath instrument was malfunctioning or operated improperly is capable of raising such a doubt. Even if you produce such evidence (for example, by calling an expert on breath instruments), the Crown could still secure a conviction by showing that despite the defect, your blood alcohol level would still have been above the legal limit.
If the first breath test was taken more than two hours after the time of the alleged driving or care or control, you may be able to raise a reasonable doubt about the reliability of the breath test results by showing that your blood alcohol level at that time was within the legal limit. To mount such a defence, you will need a toxicologist (an expert on the body's absorption and elimination of alcohol) or a report from one. The toxicologist can calculate your BAC based on your weight and the amount and time of alcohol consumption. (Hiring a toxicologist for trial is costly; a report can be obtained for less or from the Centre of Forensic Sciences in Toronto for free.)
Unless the judge finds the evidence about how much you drank unreliable, your testimony will throw doubt on the readings obtained by police. In assessing your evidence about alcohol consumption, the judge cannot take into account your breath test results, however high. This follows from a December 2005 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada (see paragraph 43).
Were you over the legal limit at the time of the alleged offence? Use the Calculator to approximate your blood alcohol level.
On an Over 80 charge, the Crown must prove your BAC was over the legal limit at the time of driving. But because police do the breath instrument test only afterward, the Criminal Code presumes the result - the lower of the two readings obtained from the breath samples - reflects your BAC at the time you are stopped.
The presumption applies only if the tests are started within two hours. If the first test is carried out more than two hours after the time of driving (or care or control), the Crown will need a toxicologist to calculate your BAC at that time. If the Crown fails to produce evidence from a toxicologist at your trial, the Over 80 charge cannot be proven.
If the breath instrument readings are slightly over 80 and you guzzled a drink just before being stopped, you may have a "last drink" defence. As it takes time for alcohol to enter the bloodstream, a toxicologist may be able to testify you were under 80 at the time of the stop because the alcohol had not yet been fully absorbed. The last drink defence is very effective because you do not have to question the reliability of the breath instrument results. However, your evidence must also show that the breath instrument results accurately reflect your BAC at the time of the tests.
Often a drinking and driving charge can be defended by showing that police or other authorities violated your rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A drinking and driving investigation where breath tests are conducted can engage the following constitutional rights:
If one or more of these rights is breached before the breath tests are completed, it may be possible to exclude the test results and secure your acquittal on a charge of over 80. Similarly, evidence of impairment may be excluded and a charge of impaired driving dismissed if a breach occurs before the observations of impairment are made. A charge of refuse sample may be dismissed if a Charter violation precedes the refusal.
When police pull you over a detention occurs. Under Section 9 of the Charter, police can lawfully stop you only if they have "articulable cause." That is, there must be objectively discernible facts that enable police to form a reasonable suspicion you are committing a crime. Without such facts, detention is arbitrary. A mere hunch based on intuition is not enough - even if it proves accurate.
However, the right can be limited. In Ontario, for example, the Highway Traffic Act allows police to stop you at random to check your driver's licence and insurance, sobriety and the mechanical fitness of your vehicle. Although there is no "articulable cause" for random stops, the Supreme Court of Canada has held that they are justified because they help detect impaired drivers.
How might this help to defend a drinking and driving charge? Police cannot stop you at random if they have a "hunch" you are concealing drugs or weapons or involved in other crime. If they initiate a random stop for reasons unrelated to your sobriety or motor vehicle and end up charging you with a drinking and driving offence after they smell alcohol on your breath, it may be possible to exclude the evidence and get the charge dismissed.
When you blow into a breath instrument, police "seize" a sample of your breath. For the seizure of breath samples at the police station to be lawful, police need to have reasonable grounds to believe you are committing the offence of Over 80 or Impaired Driving when they demand you undergo breath tests. A "fail" result on a roadside screening device normally furnishes such grounds, as do indicia of driver impairment.
How might this help to defend a drinking and driving charge? The "fail" must be registered on a properly functioning roadside screening device. If there is no evidence that the device is in proper working order, the fail cannot give rise to a reasonable belief that you are Over 80. If police arrested you only because you failed the roadside screening device test, the subsequent breath-test results may be excluded.
Similarly, if police arrest you for Impaired Driving, the observations of impairment prior to your arrest must be sufficient to create a reasonable belief you are impaired. Speeding, weaving from lane to lane, smell of alcohol on your breath, and red, glassy eyes likely justify an arrest. But if police arrest you for Impaired Driving only because you're speeding and your breath smells of alcohol, the arrest may be unlawful and the results of subsequent breath tests may be excluded.
Once you're arrested for a drinking and driving offence and before a breath test, you have the right to speak to a lawyer without delay and to be informed of that right. If police infringe these rights, the results of any subsequent breath tests may be excluded, resulting in your acquittal on the charge of Over 80.
Language difficulties: You must be told of your right to counsel meaningfully and comprehensibly. If you are not a native English speaker, police may have to use an interpreter and if you want to consult a lawyer they may have to put you in touch with one who speaks your language.
Holding off requirement: Once you tell police you want to talk to a lawyer, police must hold off from eliciting further evidence until you have spoken to one. For example, they cannot subject you to breath tests or question you about your drinking.
Counsel of choice: In addition, police must make reasonable efforts to facilitate your contact with the lawyer of your choice. If your lawyer does not answer the phone, police may have to leave a message and wait for a response. They may be violating your rights if they compel you to settle for advice from state-funded duty counsel if your lawyer cannot be reached right away.
Even if your trial prospects look bleak initially, authorities may breach your Charter rights in the course of bringing your case to trial, as explained below, enabling you to avoid conviction.
The Charter entitles everyone facing a criminal charge to obtain from the Crown all information reasonably capable of affecting their defence. This information, required to make full answer and defence, is referred to as "disclosure." In a drinking and driving case, disclosure includes the notes police record during the investigation and a copy of the videotape or DVD, if any, showing your breath tests. You also have a right to know what civilian witnesses have told police. In a refuse sample case, you may be entitled to examine the mouthpiece for defects. The loss or destruction of these materials may bar the Crown from continuing your prosecution.
Under the Charter, everyone has the right to be tried within a reasonable time. In a case tried in the lower court (in Ontario, court of justice), once you've hired a lawyer and have received basic disclosure, the Crown should bring you to trial within eight to 10 months. Delay in excess of that, particularly where it demonstrably hurts you, may foreclose your prosecution.
Upon pulling you over, police may demand you perform physical coordination tests at the roadside. Before making the demand, police do not have to tell you that you have a right to speak to a lawyer. You must perform the tests. Non-compliance carries the same penalties as drinking and driving. Police can use the test results only to determine if there are grounds to arrest you for impaired driving and for a demand either for a breath sample or for the performance at a police station of additional tests to determine if you are impaired by a drug. The Crown cannot use the results of the physical tests to establish impairment at your trial.
Upon pulling you over and before arresting you, police also can ask you questions at the roadside about how much you have had to drink. Police can ask these questions before telling you about your right to a lawyer. You do not have to answer such questions. But if you do, police can use your responses to determine if you have alcohol in your body. If police believe that you do, they may require you to provide a breath sample into a roadside screening device. However, the Crown cannot use your responses to prove guilt.
The police officer who operates the breath testing device may ask you to perform physical coordination tests such as walking a straight line ("heel-to-toe test") and touching your finger to your nose. Do not participate in such tests. Some are difficult to perform sober. (Note: Such tests are not to be confused with mandatory tests to determine if you are impaired by a drug.) You may be nervous and underestimate your impairment. You are not required by law to do the tests. In addition, the police officer who operates the breath device will ask you questions. Do not answer. Many of the questions (e.g., were you driving a motor vehicle tonight, what were you drinking, how much and when) are designed to elicit responses for use against you at trial.
It is vital that you record the details surrounding a drinking and driving charge as soon as possible. This information is crucial to your defence. But disclose it only to your lawyer. If it falls into the hands of authorities, the Crown could use it against you.
Do not discuss your alcohol consumption or any other information surrounding your charge with anyone but your lawyer! Doing so could undermine your defence.
What was your weight on the day of the alleged offence?
Where were you drinking? List all locations in chronological order.
Record the time of your arrival at and departure from each location. Note any details (e.g., television programs) and preserve any documents (e.g., receipts, automatic banking machine slips) that help pinpoint these times.
What type of beverage(s) were you drinking?
Record the alcohol content of each beverage. To determine this information, you can check the beverage container or contact the place where you were drinking.
Record the amount of each drink in ounces or millilitres. If you were drinking beer by the bottle or can, note the size. If you were drinking by the glass (or other vessel), measure it and set it aside.
If you were drinking at an establishment, find out the amount of beverage poured for each drink. For example, how much liquor is poured per shot? How much wine per glass or carafe? For draft beer, how much is dispensed per serving or pitcher. If you were pouring your own drinks from a pitcher or carafe, find out the size of the glass you used. It may help to obtain a sample glass or other vessel.
A visitor to Canada faces possible deportation upon conviction for impaired driving, drive over 80 mgs., or refuse breath sample. A person who has committed a comparable offence abroad could be denied entry to Canada.
Visitor includes anyone lawfully in Canada as a tourist, or on a work or student visa. It also includes a person who has approval in principle for landing on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
A person seeking to come to Canada as a landed immigrant or as a visitor is likely inadmissible if he or she has been found guilty abroad of a drinking and driving offence.
A person found guilty of drinking and driving can apply for a temporary resident permit. Issued at the discretion of immigration authorities, the permit is valid up to three years. It can authorize single or multiple entries. The fee is $200 Cdn.
Once five years have passed from the completion of any sentence imposed for the offence, including any driving suspension, a person with a drinking and driving conviction may overcome inadmissibility upon receiving approval of rehabilitation from an authorized immigration official.
Persons not yet eligible for approval of rehabilitation could be granted a temporary resident permit.
A person in Canada as a visitor who is convicted of a drinking and driving offence may not be able to renew his or her visitor permit. Upon conviction, such a person becomes inadmissible to Canada and liable to deportation. To overcome this inadmissibility, a record suspension is required. For information on record suspensions see National Parole Board.
An application for approval of rehabilitation requires:
Criminal clearance certificate from police authorities in all countries (including Canada) where you have resided for the past 10 years. If you have lived in the United States, you must provide a state certificate (or letter from a police authority) for each state you have lived in the past 10 years and a national FBI certificate.
Conviction certificates for all convictions. Acceptable proof may be original or certified true copies of each court judgment such as a certificate of conviction or a police report. This information must be sufficient to establish the nature of the offence, the section of the law under which you were charged, the verdict and sentence. If the conviction certificate does not include enough information, you should obtain other court records or transcripts.
Any documents relating to sentence, parole, probation, pardon, or record suspension, such as court records, judge's comments (including recommendation regarding parole), probation or parole reports.
If you were a juvenile offender, a letter or document proving that the country where you were convicted has special measures for juvenile offenders.
Photocopies of the laws under which you were convicted.
A personal written statement outlining the circumstances of your offence(s) and describing all efforts you have since made to re-establish yourself as a law-abiding citizen.
Photocopies of the pages from your passport showing your name, date of birth, and country of birth. If you are a U.S. citizen and do not have a passport, provide a copy of your driver's licence and birth certificate.
Certified translations for all documents (e.g., police, birth certificates, etc.) that are not in English or French.
Character references from public officials or respected private citizens may help.
A fee of $200 Cdn. (or $1,000 Cdn. if your conviction is for an offence committed abroad that carries a maximum jail penalty of 10 years or more under Canadian law).
You may be contacted for an interview.
"Applying for Criminal Rehabilitation," a kit containing the required application form (IMM 1444) and a guide for its completion, can be downloaded or ordered by mail at Citizenship and Immigration Canada's website.
You can complete the form even if you are not yet eligible to apply, but would like to canvass options for entering Canada (no fee required).
Apply early: it can take up to a year to process your application.
If there is any possibility you will one day have to enter Canada, you would be prudent to secure certified true copies of all court records relating to your conviction and sentence, including proof of fine payment, and a transcript of the evidence underlying your conviction.

Rasheed Wallace wonders what it would be like on the other side of the court (Getty Images)
Observers of the Detroit Pistons/Boston Celtics summer league game on Monday took in an odd sight. Rasheed Wallace walked into the arena in Orlando wearing a Pistons polo shirt (hahaha; lame) and took a seat on the Pistons bench before working the game as an assistant coach. It appears Rasheed will be joining new Detroit coach Mo Cheeks' staff in that capacity for the 2013-14 season, with a specific nod toward working with the team's young big men like Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe, and rookie Tony Mitchell.
The Pistons have not made a formal announcement on Wallace's impending hiring, nor on any of the Oklahoma City assistants who will come to Detroit to join Maurice Cheeks' staff, but Wallace is on the bench for today's game against the Boston Celtics.
Wallace will serve the Pistons as a big-man coach after several weeks of discussions between the two sides.
The Piston bigs need all the help they can get. Monroe and Drummond are certainly talented, but both of their respective games feature significant holes. Drummond in particular doesn't have a post game to speak of, and made just 37 percent of his free throws last season. His foul rate as a rookie (over four per every 36 minutes per game last season) was surprisingly low, but his awareness away from the ball and in pick and roll defense needs fine-tuning.
Monroe's defense is an absolute mess. He has his head turned on that end more often than anyone would like, and he seems to prefer using his length and arms instead of lower body strength and legs when defending the post.
Can Rasheed help any of this? Well, you don't have to be a Hakeem Olajuwon-type to point out flaws, and your resume doesn't have to do the talking … but at times in Rasheed's career I'm quite sure his coaches would have preferred a big man coach pull him aside to tell Wallace to start playing like a big man himself.
Following the 1999-00 season, Wallace rarely took to the low block to make his hay. He had extraordinary length and timing on his turnaround jumpers, but as his career moved along (and we're not referring to his last few years as a member of the Celtics or Knicks) Rasheed strayed further and further out from the basket. Portland Trail Blazers fans in particular are probably still a little peeved Rasheed didn't play the part of a big man up against the ancient A.C. Green, as the Blazers gave away a 15-point lead in Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference finals.
Of course, Drummond and Monroe don't need scads of old Rasheed tapes to know that their games need refinement. The proof is in their play, and while the developing Drummond was needlessly kept to just 20.7 minutes per game last year by then-Pistons coach Lawrence Frank, we know this duo has both promise and a whole heck of a lot to work on.
Is Rasheed the cat to put them over the top? Don't bother asking him, because he won't tell. Assistant coaches aren't allowed to talk to the media, so in a way Rasheed Wallace has found his dream job.
Even if he does have to wear that polo to work.

The IDF Ground Forces in its current form was established in 1986, following Operation Peace for Galilee.
The IDF decided it was necessary to combine ground units in order to improve coordination and elevate the sense of reliance between different units.
The Ground Forces headquarters was subsequently called the Field Corps Headquarters, bringing together the four parts of the field corps - infantry, armor, artillery and engineering forces.
In 1999, the branch name was changed to The IDF Ground Forces in accordance with the "IDF 2000" plan, designed to transform the IDF into an organization able to handle future challenges.
This branch was established in order to strengthen the combat system, to disperse jurisdiction from the General Staff to other branches and to modernize the IDF's operational concept.
The IDF Ground Forces is responsible for the general organization and structure of field forces; infantry, paratroopers, artillery, armor, engineering and field intelligence.
The primary duty of the branch is the development, acquisition and maintenance of combat facilities.
The branch takes responsibility for planning and the administration of manpower, training and military exercises.
The mission of the Ground Forces is to complete its assigned tasks through analysis of field combat characteristics - present and future - during general warfare and border clashes.
Today, most routine defense missions are implemented by the IDF Ground Forces.

Saturday, May 31, 2014, U.S. officials say Bergdahl, the only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed and is in U.S. custody. The officials say his release was part of a negotiation that includes the release of five Afghan detainees held in the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. (AP Photo/IntelCenter, File) MANDATORY CREDIT: INTELCENTER; NO SALES; EDS NOTE: "INTELCENTER" AT LEFT TOP CORNER ADDED BY SOURCE the Associated Press June 2, 2014; 7:20 a.m. Comments KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan's Foreign Ministry has criticized the U.S. for swapping Taliban prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to secure the release of a captured soldier. In a statement Monday, the Foreign Ministry called the swap for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl "against the norms of international law" if it came against the five imprisoned Taliban detainees' will. The ministry said: "No state can transfer another country's citizen to a third country and put restriction on their freedom." The five detainees left Guantanamo on Saturday aboard a U.S. military aircraft flying to Qatar, which served as go-between in the negotiations. They are to be banned from leaving Qatar for at least a year. Bergdahl was held captive for five years before his release Saturday. He is believed to have been held by the Haqqani network.

Vic Powell: Legend Dies at 91by Jim Amidon • October 6, 2011 Share:
Victor M. Powell — November 25, 1919 — October 6, 2011
George Victor Campbell Morgan Powell, "Vic," a member of the Wabash College community for nearly 65 years, passed away peacefully in his home on Wednesday. He was 91 years old.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 16 in the Pioneer Chapel on the campus of Wabash College with a reception to follow. Memorial contributions may be made to the Victor and Marion Powell Scholarship Fund at Wabash College.
Powell served Wabash College in virtually every possible way — Professor of Speech, Department Chair, Secretary of the Faculty, Dean of the College, Executive Vice President, and Acting President.
He spoke frequently about his arrival at Wabash as an assistant professor in 1947 and his plans to stay for no more than two years before moving on. He and his wife, Marion, made Wabash and Crawfordsville their home from that point forward, and he served the College continuously until his retirement in 1989. Powell is survived by his wife and two daughters, Carol Lombardi and Karen McCarthy.
"Whatever his role, Vic was always the greatest and most generous of teachers, a man whose love of the College poured out in his affection for his students and his commitment to their promise, a promise that he awoke through every class and every conversation by his kindness, his rigor of thought and language, and his sheer delight in their learning," said Wabash President Patrick White. "He was one of the greatest of teachers at Wabash, and a consummate teacher of teachers. Anyone who ever had a conversation with Vic learned from him and we all were fortunate to be his students."
Born November 25, 1919 in Fargo, North Dakota, Powell received his bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Minnesota. He served in the United States Air Force during World War II. In 1946, he earned his master's degree and later his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri.
He received the McLain-McTurnan Excellence in Teaching Award at Wabash in 1974. A year later, the National Association of Wabash Men named Powell an Honorary Alumnus and he was awarded an honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, in 1981.
He was a life-long fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and a regular presence at the faculty round table in the Scarlet Inn, the campus diner.
Powell sat down for an interview just weeks before he turned 90, and told Wabash Magazine editor Steve Charles the secrets to good living: "I was born with a near insatiable appetite for fruits and vegetables," Powell said. "I never can eat enough of them. I don't care if I eat meat or not. And I like to walk."
"Sometimes I get up feeling lethargic—and I do, often enough. But by the time I've walked down to the school, picked up the New York Times, and am sitting at the Scarlet Inn with my colleagues around, I'm restored." Read the whole interview here.
Powell was an active public servant in Crawfordsville, modeling for his students a life of civic engagement. He served on the Crawfordsville City Council and Crawfordsville School Board; presided over the Parks and Recreation Board; served on the Crawfordsville Board of Police Commissioners; and was a long-serving member of the Christian Nursing Service Board and the Montgomery County Comprehensive Health Planning Council, to name only a few of the agencies he served.
At Wabash College, Powell was a powerful campus voice, and he taught generations of students to find their own voices and to communicate with precision and clarity.
Powell taught at Dartmouth in 1946 before he was recruited to Wabash by then-Dean Byron K. Trippet. At the time, Wabash's speech department was headed by a legendary figure in the field — William Norwood Brigance — and Powell thought working with him would help launch his career.
Powell's career took off and Wabash's speech department received national acclaim. But something happened along the way — Powell got hooked on Wabash.
"I came here specifically to stay for two years, but I fell in love with the place and then they would have had to throw me out," Powell told Wabash Magazine in 1990 after serving as Acting President. "The essential things that I really like about Wabash are still as they were when I came here. There is not great separation of administration and faculty, and a student wouldn't hesitate to come in to see the president. A general mode of informality has persisted."
Following Brigance's death in 1960, Powell became a full professor and chair of the department. He continued in that role until 1973, when President Thad Seymour asked him to succeed Richard Traina as Dean of the College. He served as Dean until he returned to the classroom in 1981. In 1986, he stepped into the role of Executive Vice President to assist President Lewis S. Salter, and in 1989 he served as Acting President of the College.
Powell was a lifetime member of the Methodist Church. He received the Rotary Club's Paul Harris Fellowship Award for his service to the Crawfordsville community. The Montgomery County Community Foundation honored him for more than five decades of service, and the Christian Nursing Service awarded him its Golden Apple Award for his work at the CNS clinics, Meals on Wheels program, and the FISH clothing closet and food pantry.
Outside of Wabash's formal classroom setting, Powell was an active teacher. He helped develop and teach in the Wabash Institute for Personal Development; taught classes to employees at R.R. Donnelley; served as a consultant for Eli Lilly and Company's sales training program; lectured for Indiana University's summer programs; and chaired the Great Lakes Colleges Association Deans Council.
At the occasion of his 90th birthday, the National Association of Wabash Men paid tribute to Powell, saying in part, "Let this resolution demonstrate the gratitude all Wabash men — and particularly this Board — for his lifetime contributions to the College and for his personal friendship to generations of Little Giants."
Victor M. Powell — Some Little Giant!

|I graduated in 1956. Vic was the last living professor from that time. Vic Powell was a giant in the tradition of Frank Sparks, Byron Trippet and Norwood Brigance. He made things happen. He leaves large footprints on Wabash College and in the hearts of all who knew him. He will be greatly missed.

|Today, my heart is heavy upon hearing the news of Vic's passing; the weather in western Montana seems to reflect that mood. However, as the clouds fade and the sun begins to break up the morning fog, I recall Vic Powell's great sense of humor and that beaming smile that changed the mood of any conversation, of every intractable debate. I will miss that tremendously.

|When I came to Wabash in the fall of 1971 I had my mind set on going to law school. I was told that political science was the path way to law school for those of us who were on a "pre-law" track so I became a political science major. During my junior year I got into a debate with my faculty advisior who insisted that I was a speech and not a political science major. It was then that I realized for the first time the powerful influnce that Vic Powell had on me as a student at Wabash. Without actually intending to do so, I had completed the requirements for a speech major because of the care and concern that Vic had shown for me as a person as well as the joy and passion that he always brought to what he did in the class room and the Scarlet Inn! Shortly after I was named to the Board of Trustee's I had the good fortune of sitting down with Vic in the Scarlett Inn to talk about the role of a trustee illustrated by events that occurred at Wabash and in the Crawfordsville community long after I left the campus in 1975 headed for law school. It became very clear that his wisdom was only exceeded by his love for his family, community and for Wabash. While his passing is a sad day for me personally and professionally, I am a better man and Wabash is a better institution because Vic Powell passed this way.

|I drove to Wabash from South Carolina to bring my son (now a Jr. in High School) to a Blueprint Admissions summer Program in 2010. I met and had the opportunity to sit out on the campus and chat with Mr. Powell. He told me about his long relationship with Wabash and his passion for the Students at Wabash. His enthusiasm for Wabash had an impact on me...it spoke to the character of the Wabash Community and contributes to why Wabash is on my son's College list. So thankful we both had an opportunity to know Vic Powell...if only for a brief time...He certainly leaves quite a legacy...

|Ironically, no one ever bothered about Vic's only imperfection: his lip. He is known for his speaking ability or "lip", if you will. We attended St. Louis Cardinals baseball games sitting side by side with Marion eating peanuts. I did not know his faith was U. Meth until after his passing. Vic was a master. Vic understood the reasons for my being ill-tempered and quarrelsome(i.e.cantankerous). Thank-you so much for believing in me, Vic. Send post-cards with pictures from Paradise. Love.

|Dr. Powell was my professor, faculty advisor and friend. Never will I forget the day in Center Hall in a Speech 6 class when a few minutes into the hour it was apparent no on save Dr. Powell bothered to read the assignment for discussion. After several tense moments of shear silence, he stood up, closed his book, said something very brief and walked out. We were never unprepared again. I learned something that day about not only Vic Powell, but Wabash College and the love and desire for learning for the sake of knowledge. He will forever be in my mind and his spirit lives on in the countless men he nurtured and inspired. May God Bless Victor Powell. He clearly blessed us!

|Although I never had the privledge of taking one of Vic Powells classes, I got to meet Vic and Marion during their visit to Tucson. They were scheduled to stay at a less than desireable hotel in town so my wife and I invited them to stay at our home instead. When he said that I didn't really know them, my response was that "You are a Wabah man and that's all that matters". We spent a few wonderful days with the Powells and becmae friends for life. When we stopped at their house, unannounced" during our last visit to Crawfordsville(for the last Glee Club reunion), they invited us to join them for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

|Whomever does his eulogy, I hope that he or she speaks with "Room filling energy."
When I tried my hand at being clergy, I started my first sermon in my first full-time pastorate by looking at the huge sanctuary, and noting that if I was to speak with room-filling energy I was risking personal injury.
At the risk of using jargon -- something Dean Powell told us to avoid like the plague -- let me say emphatically, "Some Little Giant!

|'Tis after death that we measure men." wrote James Barron Hope a poet from Virginia. The measure of Vic Powell as a Wabash man shall be an easy task. His impact upon the Wabash community is legend. Moving between the roles of teacher, administrator, counselor, and friend of the college and the community he made a tremendous impression on all. As a Speech major fifty years ago, I became a better man for having Vic as my adviser. After graduation, I would meet him during annual meetings of Speech instructors in Indiana. He was as interested in how I was doing teaching high school speech classes as I was in his life at Wabash
Clearly I recall one of my most embarrassing moments at Wabash coming from one of Dr. Powell's questions during my Oral Comprehensive exam. I had done a great deal of preparation for this portion of those exams, for there was the feeling that this portion would determine my score. The meeting was in his office at the top of the stairs in Center Hall, just to the side of that rope that rang the class bell. Three professors were in that room. Now the rumor was that if three were in the room, you were on the edge of not passing the exam. My palms were clammy, I felt parched. This surely is how a man feels just prior to being executed. Vic leaned back in his chair, looked at me and said, "Feit, just what do you think are the chances for the Cardinals this year?" My mind was working, but not my mouth. I knew he meant the St. Louis Cardinals, and as this was at the start of the baseball season he was interested in my forecast for his favorite team. I quite honestly have no idea what my response was, nor do I recall much of anything else that I uttered during the following sixty minutes. My urge was to run out the door, grab that bell rope and swing out into oblivion. When reminded of this event years later, Vic just said, "I was just trying to start in a relaxed mood."
The entire Powell family, along with the Wabash family has lost a true friend. The measure of Vic Powell shall eternally be in our minds and hearts

|In the summer of 1984 I was blessed to be doing research in the biology department with Dr's Brooks and Doemel. (Some Little Giants, both!) I stopped by the Scarlett Inn the morning after Mario Cuomo, then governor of New York, had delivered the key note address at the Democratic National Convention. Professor Powell was seated at a table with several sttudents explaining how Governor Cuomo's speech was superb political oration.
Then quite the committed conservative, I turned and asked, "Really?"
For the next 15 minutes, Professor Powell provided for me a semester's worth of speech education. I never took a class from Professor Powell, but from that day forth I was a student of Professor Powell. Some Little Giant, indeed.

Where do I start? How do I apply?
Will I be able to receive financial aid or a scholarship?
Am I too old to go to college? Will I fit into the college environment?
At UW-Marinette, we don't view learning as an age-related activity. We recognize that all of us learn throughout our lives, whether in a structured or an informal setting. And with the increasing demands on all of us today to stay abreast of the latest information and technologies, learning has truly become a life-long pursuit.
You're never too old to learn, whether that means working toward a degree with a specific career goal in mind, or attending classes for personal fulfillment. At UW-Marinette we welcome people who want to learn for any reason.
Are you concerned that you may not "fit in" on campus? Because you've been out of school for quite awhile, do you think that you won't look like the other students, that you'll stick out? Don't worry, chances are, you'll fit right in. A third of all students here at UW-Marinette are non-traditional-age students. That means that they're just like you, returning to school after spending time working and/or raising a family.
You should also know that our returning adult students report that they are made to feel most welcome in the classroom by professors and younger students alike. Instructors especially appreciate adults' willingness to participate in classroom discussion, contributing insights gained from real-life experiences. Typically, adult students not only fit in, but often become leaders by example, earning many of the academic honors and scholarships on our campus. You are also completely welcome to join any of our clubs!
Can I earn a degree even though I work full-time?
Yes. At UW-Marinette we make every effort to schedule courses to maximize accessibility, no matter what your schedule.
More than 30% of the students on the Marinette campus are returning to the classroom after having pursued other endeavors for several years. Most of these adult students are employed full-time and must attend classes around their work schedules and family obligations. We understand the needs and constraints of the adult student.
There are a number of ways that you can complete the first two years of college and beyond at UW-Marinette, even while you are working or taking care of a family. We offer:
- Multiple sections of core English and math courses spread throughout the day for your convenience.
- A variety of courses in all of the required general education categories: humanities, fine arts, social science, natural science, ethnic and interdisciplinary studies, in time slots from morning through evening.
- Summer school courses in an accelerated format, allowing students to earn valuable credits in a relatively short period of time.
- A large selection of UW Colleges online courses that do not require attendance on campus or participation at specific times of day.
- Courses that are offered via Streaming Media which allows you to view them at times convenient to you.
Flex Scheduling
Think you don't have time to take classes? We know you're busy, so we have created flexible options that allow you to fit classes into your schedule and work around home or job commitments.
Now you can earn a University of Wisconsin Associate Degree in three years or less taking classes at times that are right for you.
You can complete some classes in only 7 weeks.
Some are offered in a blended (classroom and online) mode. And many classes are offered in streamed video. That means you have the flexibility to attend class if you want. If you can't attend, you can watch the class online, much like you can record a movie and watch it at your convenience. Streamed video is also great for reviewing a class and helping you to learn the material.
UW-Marinette is dedicated to helping you meet your educational goals. Flex Scheduling is just one of the ways we have scheduled classes to help you.
Ways you can access courses to fit your schedule
Blended: A Blended course is a 15-week semester course where the course content is taught using face-to-face and online or "time-out-of-class" learning modes. UW Colleges Blended courses are approximately 40-60% online with the remainder completed face-to-face. Textbooks for these courses may be purchased in the campus bookstore. If you are unsure if this type of class will fit what you need, take this quick online Flex Scheduling quiz.
Accelerated Blended: An Accelerated Blended course is a Blended course offered in 5, 7 or 8 week sessions.
More information about Blended and Accelerated courses
Streaming Media (Webcasting): Streaming Media courses feature recorded, multimedia lectures which are accessed via the Internet. See the video about Streaming Media/Webcasting
Contract for Streamed Courses
Streaming Proctor Form
Flipped Curriculum: Students are expected to watch short videos prepared by the instructor in advance of class so that in-class time can be used for collaborative, problem-solving, and/or discussion-oriented activities. Some courses are delivered completely via flipped curriculum, while other instructors use this method in a more limited format. Some flipped courses are also streamed.

If I can't attend classes full-time, how long will it take me to earn a degree?
Most adult students are particularly interested in knowing how long it will take them to earn a degree. Of course, the length of time varies with each student and depends, in part, upon whether or not a student has transferred any prior college credits to UW-Marinette. A credit evaluation is performed for every transfer student; a transfer credit report will follow the evaluation and an advisor will work with each student to determine how the transfer credits fit into the overall degree plan.
In general, students who work full-time or who have significant responsibilities at home are most comfortable with a part-time schedule, taking two courses (6-8 credits) at a time. If a student enrolls in two courses every fall, spring and summer semester, he/she will likely earn about 20 credits per year. Since the Associate Degree requires a minimum of 60 credits, it will take a part-time student about three years to graduate from UW-Marinette. A full-time student can usually complete the Associate Degree in two years. The Associate Degree marks the approximate half-way point to a Bachelor's Degree.
What about the credits I earned at another college? Will they transfer to UW-Marinette?
When a prospective student applies to UW-Marinette, he/she is asked to provide official transcripts from each post-secondary school attended. These official transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Student Affairs. Our registrar carefully evaluates each transcript and provides a report to each newly admitted student, showing exactly how many credits earned are transferable to UW Colleges. The report also shows which UW Colleges' courses are equivalent to courses completed at another college.
In general, credits earned at an accredited, liberal arts institution of higher education are highly transferable. Liberal studies courses completed at a technical school or in the military services may also be transferable. In all cases, transferability of credit is subject to the decision of the UW Colleges' Office of the Registrar.
After your credit evaluation is complete, an advisor at UW-Marinette will meet with you to show you how previously earned credits will apply toward your intended major and your degree.
If you have earned prior credit at another University of Wisconsin System institution or at a Wisconsin Technical College System institution, in most cases you will be able to predict how your credits will transfer to UW-Marinette by using the Credit Transfer Wizard feature of the UW's Transfer Information System (link to TIS).
How will I know what classes to take?
Advisors will be on hand every step of the way to assist you with class selection. They can provide valuable insight and make sure that you enroll in courses that will help you progress toward your educational and career goals in the most efficient manner possible. We are very aware that adult students, in particular, want to be certain that they are taking the shortest possible route toward graduation.
One tool that will help ensure that you are enrolled in the correct courses is the placement test. After you receive your letter of admission to UW-Marinette, you will be given an opportunity to take placement tests in English and math (and foreign language, if needed). All entering UW students take math and English placement tests unless they are transfer students who have already received credit for courses at the required competency level in those subjects.
Don't worry, placement test scores do not affect your admission to the University. In fact, placement tests take place after you are already admitted. Test results simply allow advisors to place you in the most appropriate level of English and mathematics courses. Many adult students worry about taking placement tests, especially the math placement, because they may have been away from the classroom for a considerable period of time. Rest assured that UW-Marinette offers both math and English courses at a wide range of levels, from simple to advanced, in order to match each student's experience and needs. Learning is often a step-wise process. Sometimes it's just a matter of discovering where you should start.
You'll be informed when it's time to register for classes. You and your advisor will select courses which fulfill general education requirements and the specific course requirements of your chosen major. Each semester, your advisor will work closely with you to choose carefully the courses that will best help you to make progress toward your degree.
What is an Associate of Arts and Science Degree and how will it help me reach my goals?
As a University of Wisconsin Colleges student at UW-Marinette, you can earn the Associate of Arts and Science (AAS) Degree. This degree encompasses the liberal arts requirements that act as the foundation courses for your major and for your Bachelor's Degree. The UW Colleges Associate Degree gives you the tools you need to acquire new knowledge, that is, it teaches you how to learn, so you can more easily adapt to an ever-changing world and workplace.
The Associate Degree is an important indicator along your educational path, marking the half-way point on your journey toward a Bachelor's Degree. It also signals to employers that, as a degree holder, you have advanced skills in communication, critical thinking, group dynamics, mathematical reasoning, and awareness and appreciation of other cultures, valuable assets vital to success in today's workplace. Most importantly, the UW Colleges Associate Degree enables you to put three very powerful words on your resume, University of Wisconsin.
Can I earn a Bachelor's Degree at UW-Marinette?
You say that the Associate Degree is not your goal, but rather, you're only interested in earning a Bachelor's Degree? Most of our graduates do, in fact, go on to pursue a four-year degree. What you may not realize is that, although students at UW-Marinette are not required to earn the Associate Degree prior to transfer, there are two very good reasons for doing so:
- The four-year University of Wisconsin campuses recognize an Associate Degree from the UW Colleges as having fulfilled all of their campus' general education requirements (even if small differences in requirements exist between the two institutions). When you transfer to the four-year UW institution, your core and breadth requirements will have been met.
- In order to be accepted into the department corresponding to your major at a four-year UW institution, it is often a requirement that you first earn at least 58 credits and complete all or most of your general education requirements, including any required foundation courses for your major. If you have earned the Associate Degree and have included the necessary foundation courses in your curriculum while at UW-Marinette, for most majors you will have met the requirements for admission into the department of choice by the time you finish your sophomore year.
Of course, UW-Marinette recognizes that a Bachelor's Degree and beyond is often your primary goal. For working, place-bound adults in the Marinette area, however, commuting an hour or more to a larger campus is neither a desirable nor practical option. By collaborating with some of our UW partners, we now offer a number of Bachelor Degree options (and one Master's option) that do not require you to commute. Advanced courses can be completed through distance education modes such as two-way video, streaming media or online.
Where do I start? How do I apply?
It's really rather simple to apply to UW-Marinette. Here are the things we need to receive from you in order to complete your admissions file:
- A UW System application. You can pick up a copy on campus in the Office of Student Affairs, or you can simply apply online at apply.wisconsin.edu.
- A $44 application fee (if you have not previously attended UW-Marinette as a degree-seeking student). You can pay the fee in the Office of Student Affairs or, if applying electronically, you can charge the fee by selecting that option on the application site.
- High School transcripts. You should request that official copies of your high school transcripts be sent to:
- Office of Student Affairs
University of Wisconsin-Marinette
750 W. Bay Shore Street
Marinette, WI 54143
- Office of Student Affairs
- If you earned a GED or HSED, request that an official copy be sent to the address above, in addition to your high school transcript.
- College transcripts. If you have previously attended any post-secondary institution, request that your former college send an official copy to the address above. Remember to include with your request any fee that your former institution may charge.
That's it! Because you're an adult student who is over 21 years of age, we don't need ACT or SAT scores. Age sometimes has its advantages.
After we have received all of the items above, you will receive a letter informing you of our admissions decision. The letter will also tell you what to do next.
Will I be able to receive financial aid or a scholarship?
Even if you think that your household income may be too great to allow you to be eligible for financial aid, you should apply. You may still qualify for some form of aid. Though certain household incomes may make some students ineligible to receive grant money, that is, money that does not have to be repaid, all students are eligible to receive money for school in the form of a student loan, which is also considered a form of aid. Student loans do not have to be repaid until six months after a student graduates or stops attending school, and the interest rates are quite reasonable.
To see if you are eligible for grants, loans or work study you must fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Filing the form costs you nothing, and, if eligible for aid, you are under no obligation to accept the offer. Here are the steps to apply for and receive federal aid:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can complete and submit the form online at www.fafsa.gov. You will need to refer to a copy of your federal income tax form from the most recent reporting year (for example, if you are applying for aid for the 2014-2015 school year, you must provide information from your 2013 tax form*).
- UW Colleges will receive an electronic copy of your SAR from the federal government and will calculate the amount of aid for which you are eligible based on tuition and fees at this campus and your financial need as reported on the SAR. In the meantime, you will work with an advisor to register for classes. You must be enrolled in at least six credits (usually two classes) in order to be eligible for most types of aid. A $100 advanced tuition deposit is required in order for you to register, even if you expect to receive aid.
- Next, you will be sent an award letter offering you the grants, loans and/or work study for which you are eligible. At this time, the award offer will be based on the cost of full-time enrollment at UW-Marinette, even if your intention is to enroll on a part-time basis (adjustments will be made at a later date). You will either accept or decline the aid offered and submit a signed copy of the award letter to Student Affairs.
- If you accept an offer for a loan, completion of a Master Promissory Note and entrance loan counseling are necessary steps in the loan process. Both of these steps can be completed online at uwc.edu.
- Once on the Web site, click on the following:
- Select Money Matters
- Online Loan Master Promissory Note
- Complete and submit the application.
- Next, finish the loan process by clicking on Online Loan Entrance Counseling.
- Finally, on the tenth day of classes, UW Colleges disburses your financial aid on the basis of the number of credits for which you are registered. Federal grant money for which you qualify is credited automatically to your student account. Any remaining funds will be issued to you as a check.
- If financial aid does not cover the entire amount of your tuition, the remaining balance will be due by no later than 4:00 p.m. on the 10th day of classes. If you applied late or, if for some other reason, the financial aid process is not complete prior to the 10th day, you must make arrangements with the Business Services Office for either a tuition deferment (possible only if your aid package is nearing completion) or for participation in the partial payment plan. Students need to complete payment or set up special arrangements by the deadline or they will be administratively withdrawn from their classes.
*By federal regulation (except in very special circumstances) unmarried students under the age of 24 must also provide information from their Parents' federal tax forms, even when the student does not reside with his/her parents.

Please call the Office of Student Affairs at 715-735-4300, ext. 4301 or e-mail at email@example.com.
We would be happy to meet with you in person to help you with your plans.

It's Valentine's Day, and if you're a single lady, give yourself a round of applause. It's better to be single than be with someone (male or female!) who doesn't treat you well. You deserve the best! I'll put my money where my mouth is and say that any lady who orders herself a piece of Wendy Brandes jewelry TODAY will get some kind of discount, depending on what you order. Very inexpensive pieces might get free shipping; certain expensive pieces might … MIGHT … be half off. (The pieces available at Max & Chloe and Broken English are excluded.) Browse my site and then email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com and tell me what you like. I'll tell you what I can do for you, price-wise.
Need some ideas? Review my Valentine's Day Countdown posts:
- Day 1: Going to the Oscars? Here are your earrings.
- Day 2: Calling all vampire fans (or slayers).
- Day 3: I've got six new emoticon heart rings looking for homes.
- Day 4: Feeling kind of nuts? This squirrel necklace is for you.
- Day 5: Get a one-of-a-kind ring and I'll donate to Planned Parenthood.
- Day 6: Wolf-fang designs are fierce.
- Day 7: The Siobhan ring is one of my personal favorites.
- Day 8: Get a Mud Flap Jill necklace and show Rihanna how it's done.
- Day 9: Yea Hoe!
- Day 10: Swear rings for sports fans.
- Day 11: Silver fleur-de-lis necklace, already half-price.
- Day 12: An aventurine brooch worthy of the Obamas.
- Day 13: Silver Cleopatra earrings to make you feel like a queen.
Speaking of prices, I've finally settled on a price for January's Jewel of the Month, the mini Siobhan ring in four shades of gold: it's $2,500.
Because I was feeling Valentine-y, I wore the ring with the heart-shaped diamond, pictured above, to my designing friend Zang Toi's post-runway show party last night. I wear that one on my thumb. I was also wearing six other rings, so I asked MrB to take a picture of my hands. After I inspected the photos, I noted how veiny my hands have become. Let me tell you younger folks — you think it won't happen to you, but after a certain age, it does. Overnight. It's strange because I have such vivid memories of being very young and sitting on my grandmother's lap and playing with the veins in her hands by pressing on them. I thought they were a sign of Methuselah-like age. Now that I think of it, my grandmother was all of 53 back then. That's young, yo! Anyway, after I commented on the veins, MrB told me they were very attractive veins and lots of people would agree. Good answer! I thought, "Okay, I will let you be my Valentine." But before I could say anything, he continued, "There are whole websites devoted to veins like that." OMG WTF! How does he know that? I don't even want to think about it. I told him I would have to review his application to be my Valentine and get back to him.
After all that trauma, you can barely see the thumb ring.
From left to right in the photo, I'm wearing the thumb ring, the mini Siobhan, the Gravity engagement ring, my Memento Mori skull ring, the Gravity band, the regular Siobhan and the Diana heart ring. All my own designs, of course. The Minx manicure is the same one that Tracylee Percival gave me on February 1. Holding up pretty well, I'd say. And you'll see the whole dress in my post about Zang's show.
Don't forget to order yourself a jewelry treat today, wimmins!

Okay, today's the day I order myself a piece of Wendy Brandes jewelry – look for my email soon!
I get hits on my blog for veiny feet all the time. It's kind of weird. I've also gotten emails begging me to send pictures of my feet. :-O
your rings are gorgeous!!!!
I'm not a single gal, but I surely believe in treating yourself for Valentine's Day (or any day really). My exclamation ring was a little treat to myself, and I'm wearing it today :-).
Sometimes I think my hands are super veiny; I've always assumed it comes with having thin hands, lol. I LOVE that you wear like 6 rings at once, meant to tell you the other night!!!
I love that heart ring. Would love to get that on Valentines day. Can't complain, Mr Style Eyes did buy me a diamond ring (11 years ago!). Perhaps I will have to drop a few more hints next year or like you suggest get it myself.
The rings are fabulous, i agree us girls should treat ourselves :o) Scarlett x
Ha! A fetish site. You crack me up!
I have always loved the (taller) Siobhan ring, but I am in LOVE with this mini version!
I know about veiny hands. I am so vascular as to look like I have tree roots for hands. It's awful. Be glad you are so dainty, WendyB!

What says "good girl ready to go bad" quite like the candy striper look? We think this Alfie Blouse in Pink Stripes ($35) suggests that very nicely without looking like something you got out of a plastic bag at iParty.

One win away from a fourth-straight Eastern Conference Finals appearance, the Miami Heat hosts the Brooklyn Nets in Game 5 of their 2014 NBA playoffs series. On May 14, Zach Harper of CBS Sports previews tonight's contest, which can be seen live on TNT Sports (national TV) and TNT Overtime (free online live stream).
Led by LeBron James' (postseason) career-high 49 points, Miami took a commanding 3-1 over Brooklyn Monday night, and will have a chance to close things out at home. American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla., will be the site for Game 5 of this best-of-seven series, and opening tipoff is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET (6:10 p.m. CT/5:10 p.m. MT/4:10 p.m. PT).
Thus far, the 2014 Eastern Conference Semifinals have been a perfect illustration of how regular-season basketball compares to the NBA playoffs. Despite sweeping the pre-season and regular season meetings with Miami, Brooklyn finds itself on the brink of elimination just five games in.
As Mitch Lawrence of the NY Daily News reports, a loss would mean that Mikhail Prokhorov's $180 million investment ultimately translates to a 44-38 squad capable of winning a grand total of five playoff games. It's hard to imagine that anyone in the organization will be satisfied with those results, even if Brooklyn did play the two-time defending NBA champs pretty well.
In contrast, the series with the Nets has been exactly what the Heat needed on their way to a three-peat, and head coach Erik Spoelstra has to be thrilled with (most of) the results. In a May 13 report, Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today offers great insight about Miami's ability to execute on both ends of the floor, and protect/extend leads in close ballgames.
However, conventional wisdom not only suggests that close-out games are the toughest to win the NBA playoffs, but also that eliminating a battle-tested teams are no easy tasks. So, is there any way that the Brooklyn Nets can live to fight another day by stealing one from the Miami Heat at home this evening?
Not a chance, say NBA playoffs ESPN oddsmakers, who list Miami [-8] as eight-point favorites to defeat Brooklyn [+8] in Game 5. In addition, the OVER/UNDER is set at a combined total of 190 points, and straight-up lines go as follows: Nets +280 vs. Heat -360.

Sept. 14, 2002
HONOLULU - The fifth-ranked UCLA Bruins rode the hat trick performance of freshman Iris Mora to overcome a scoreless first half and pull-away with a 4-1 victory over San Francisco in the opening match of the 2002 Outrigger Hotels & Resorts Soccer Classic.
Mora opened the evenings scoring at 51:30, when she made good on a feed from Allie True and sent a right-footed shot into an open goal. True ran onto a through ball from Bruin defender Nandi Pryce and drove the left flank to goal, working her way past on-rushing San Francisco keeper Stephanie Beall before finding Mora alone in the middle of the USF penalty box.
Mora struck again in the 59th minute when she received a corner kick from Tracey Winzen above the Dons penalty box and smashed a right-footed shot past Beall. Mora registered her third score of the evening in the 82nd minute off an assist from Katie Rivera. Rivera scored UCLAs other goal at 78:31.
San Francisco receivced a goal from Caty Harris at the 66:34 mark to close UCLAs lead to 2-1 early in the second period. Harris collected a deflection of a Dons shot and drove five yards to the end line before drilling a sharp-angle shot into the far upper-v of the UCLA goal.
On the match, UCLA out-shot San Francisco, 30-to-4, including 12-to-1 in the first half.

I happen to love the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. This so-called 'modern re-telling' left me deeply disappointed. There are multiple ways of crafting a modern version of the story (see Black Orpheus) that preserve its integrity. This was a...continued

Absolutely brilliant piece of theater in a great room at the Noise Within. Sarah Ruhl is a genius.
Quotes & Highlights
"It's a satisfyingly revisionist take. Yet, somewhat unexpectedly, Orpheus and Eurydice's youthful passion is dwarfed by Ruhl's more resonant theme of fatherly love. Inspired by Ruhl's own father's early death from cancer, the play is a sweet valedictory to undying parental affection, a bond that, in this case, heroically transcends death." —Los Angeles Times;(Critic's Choice)
