A. All education abroad programs must meet the Gilman Program's eligibility criteria. Most important in selecting an international internship program, is to make sure it is a credit-bearing, career-oriented internship. Work with your Study Abroad/International Program's office and your Career Services office on campus to assist you with identifying the best internship for your professional aspirations that allows you to earn academic credit through your home institution.
A. No, only students receiving a Federal Pell Grant at the time of application or at the time of the study abroad program are eligible for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship. Other forms of federal financial aid do not satisfy this eligibility requirement. If you are not sure if you receive a Federal Pell Grant, please contact your university's financial aid office.
For information on other study abroad scholarships and grants for which you might be eligible, consult Other Study Abroad Resources.
A. You may not apply for a Gilman Scholarship if you wish to study or intern in a country that is currently under a U.S. Department of State Travel Warning.
Students applying to programs in Mexico may only apply for scholarships to support study in Mexican states where no advisory is in effect according to the Travel Warning list. You are still eligible to apply for a Gilman Scholarship if the country you wish to study in is under a Travel Alert or Public Announcement.
A. You are not eligible to apply for the scholarship if you will be studying in a country on the Travel Warning list. No exceptions can be made as this restriction is for your safety. Students applying to programs in Mexico may only apply for scholarships to support study in Mexican states where no advisory is in effect according to the Travel Warning list.
A. Yes! A principal objective of the Gilman Scholarship Program is to expand international education opportunities by encouraging applications from students who have not previously studied abroad for undergraduate academic credit.
A. Yes! Community college students, both two-year and transfer, are particularly encouraged to apply. Current community college students are eligible to apply for the Gilman Scholarship with programs no less than two weeks (14 days) in one country.
A. No, only U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals are eligible to apply for a Gilman Scholarship. If you are currently in the process of receiving your U.S. citizenship, please contact us for further information regarding the possibility of applying.
A. No, only U.S. citizens currently enrolled as undergraduate students at a U.S. institution of higher education are eligible for the Gilman Scholarship. Students must also be participating in a study abroad program eligible for undergraduate academic credit at their home university.
A. No, only U.S. citizens currently enrolled as undergraduate students at a U.S. institution of higher education and participating in a study abroad program of up to one academic year are eligible for the Gilman Scholarship. The Gilman Scholarship Program does not fund full-degree study overseas.
One avenue you should explore is to see if the institution you wish to attend abroad is eligible to receive federal financial aid. There are a number of institutions abroad that are eligible to receive U.S. financial aid and you can search for these online at the FAFSA website. Once there, you will need to choose the Find My School Codes option and do a school code search. Within the search screen select Foreign Country as the school state. A list of institutions abroad that are eligible to receive federal financial aid will then pop up. If your school is listed you would use their designated school code to apply for financial aid just as you would if you were attending a U.S. institution.
You should also contact the university abroad directly to find out if they offer any financial aid or scholarships for incoming international students. Some countries will also allow student visa holders to work on a part-time basis, which might also help fund your degree overseas. The international student office at your university abroad should be able to assist you in learning about the relevant regulations for students studying in your host country.
A. Eligible programs must be a minimum of four weeks (28 days) - or two weeks (14 days) for current community college students - in one country and can be as long as one academic year. Short-term programs are eligible as long as they fall within the eligible start dates for each cycle and are at least four weeks (28 days) in length.
A. Students applying for short-term programs will need to be sure that they clearly explain why they have chosen their specific study abroad program, including their length of study, within their Statement of Purpose essay. Often students applying for short-term programs have very specific reasons for doing so. They may be students of non-traditional age that have family obligations which make it hard for them to be out of the country for an extended period of time, or they are participating in an intensive academic program which also makes it difficult to find viable study abroad options. For students at two-year institutions short-term programs may be the only study abroad option available.
The Statement of Purpose essay is an opportunity for students to share with the selection panels the reason behind their choice of program and the impact that it will have on them academically, professionally, and personally. All applicants should ensure they clearly explain their choice of program, but this is especially important for those applying for programs of less than one quarter in length.
A. Multi-country study abroad programs are eligible only if the program spends a minimum of four weeks (28 days) in one country. For information on other undergraduate scholarships for which you might be eligible please access Other Study Abroad Resources.
A. No, there are no lists of Gilman-preferred programs nor does the Gilman Scholarship Program endorse a particular institution, organization or group's sponsorship. A Gilman Scholarship is a source of portable financial assistance that can be used to support any country-based study abroad program deemed to be eligible for undergraduate academic credit by your home university. The choice of a particular program for study abroad should be made in consultation with your campus advisor. Programs can include traditional study abroad programs, intensive language programs, internship programs for academic credit, student-teaching abroad programs for academic credit, and/or service-learning abroad programs for academic credit. It is best to choose your program based on its overall quality and select the program that best meets your academic, career and personal goals.
If you would like to search for study abroad programs online, the Institute of International Education maintains a free searchable study abroad program database called IIE Passport. This site will allow you to search for programs by country, field of study and language of study.
A. A Gilman Scholarship recipient can only receive the Gilman Scholarship once. If you previously declined the Gilman Scholarship, you are welcome to re-apply for another application cycle, as long as you still meet all eligibility requirements. For other study abroad scholarship opportunities, visit the Other Study Abroad Resources section.
A. If your program starts between July 15 and October 15, apply for the fall program application. If your program starts between December 15 and April 15, apply for the spring program application. For summer programs beginning between May 1 and August 1, there are two available summer application cycles. Depending on your study abroad program or international internship commitment deadlines, you should determine the summer application cycle that best meets your timeline.
Please consult the Deadlines & Timeline page for more information on when to apply.
A. The Gilman Scholarship Program has an online application. The online application will be available approximately one-and-a-half to two months prior to the application deadline for each cycle. Please consult the Deadlines & Timeline for more information.
A. If your contact information changes, please be sure to log into the online application and update your Account Information. Communication will be primarily conducted via email so it is important to ensure that a current, working email address is on file at all times. The Gilman Scholarship Program is not responsible for incorrect email addresses or contact information.
A. The administrator is the institution or organization that is administering your study abroad program. The online application contains a drop down list of the most common program administrators given by Gilman Scholarship applicants. If your program administrator is not listed, then you would select "other" and type the name into the provided field. This will most often be your home university, a different university in the U.S., or a study abroad consortium or other program provider. If you are unsure who the program sponsor is, please contact your university study abroad advisor.
A. Yes, we recognize that many students will submit applications to specific study abroad programs and for the Gilman Scholarship Program simultaneously, with expected notification for each at a different date. Should you be awarded a Gilman Scholarship you would be required to provide proof of acceptance into the program listed in your application at that time.
A. If you are applying to more than one program you should enter your top choice on the Gilman Scholarship application. You should then make note of the fact that you are applying to two different programs in your Statement of Purpose essay. If you are accepted to the program you did not list in your Gilman Scholarship application, please contact the Gilman Program immediately.
A. Yes, there will be a section within the application for you to indicate your previous international experience. Previous non-academic international experience will be used for statistical purposes only and will not be included in your application during the selection process.
A. A complete Gilman Scholarship application consists of 1) online student application, 2) uploaded official transcript(s) into application, 3) online Study Abroad Advisor certification and 4) online Financial Aid Advisor certification. Study Abroad Advisors will be asked to verify that you are applying to a credit-eligible study abroad program, whether you have previously studied abroad before and confirm your study abroad program information. Financial Aid Advisors will be asked to verify whether you are currently receiving a Federal Pell Grant and the estimated amount of financial aid, excluding loans, you can apply to your program.
Advisors will receive an email immediately after you submit the online application asking them to certify your information. It is very important that you contact your university's study abroad and financial aid office prior to submitting your application to ensure that your advisors' information is available to select in your application before the deadline. The Gilman Scholarship Program is not responsible for contacting your advisors to create an account with the online application system.
Your application is not considered complete until all sections are completed by the stated deadlines. It is your responsibility as an applicant to ensure that advisors are aware of and complete their portion of your application by the stated advisor deadlines. Please consult the Deadlines & Timeline for more information. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
A. You will need to contact your university study abroad and financial aid offices prior to submitting your application to obtain this information. Indicate that you are applying for a study abroad scholarship and ask who the correct person would be to complete the advisor portion for each office at your university. You should only list advisors at your home university.
A. In this case you should contact your undergraduate academic advisor at your home university and ask them to register as a certifying advisor with the Gilman Scholarship Program.
A. Contact your university financial aid office to find out who the correct advisor would be to complete the financial aid advisor portion for a study abroad scholarship. This need not be an advisor assigned specifically to you. However, it must be an advisor working in the financial aid office at your home institution.
A. You can view the status of your advisor certifications by logging in to your Gilman application and viewing the right navigation menu. If your advisor(s) have certified your application, the box beside the appropriate advisor will be checked. Remember, it is your responsibility as an applicant to ensure that advisors are aware of and complete their portions of your application by the stated deadlines. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
A. You are required to upload your undergraduate transcript from your currently enrolled institution. If you are a transfer student, you must also upload your transcript from your previously enrolled institution(s) listed in your application. It is your responsibility to upload the appropriate transcript documentation. Failure to provide the appropriate documentation will deem your application ineligible. For detailed instructions on how to upload your transcripts, please visit our Transcripts page.
A. Once you have successfully been admitted to your home institution, you are given a unique identification number. For most cases, you need your student ID number to access your student records, all web services that currently require a student ID and to conduct other business on your campus. You can usually find your student ID on your college identification card. If you are unsure as to what your student ID is, please contact your academic advisor at your home institution. The Gilman Program requests your student ID in your online Gilman account in order to maintain a record unique to you and to utilize your number as a security verification.
A. If you have not completed a single term at your home institution at the time of your Gilman Scholarship application, then you will indicate your GPA as 0.00. Additionally, if this is your first academic term at your home institution you can upload an Official Enrollment Verification Letter, including your academic courses, issued from your registrar's office in place of your home institution transcript. In addition, if you are a freshman, you will be required to include your high school transcripts in your application. Please note that there is not a minimum GPA requirement to apply for the Gilman Scholarship and it will not affect your eligibility.
A. The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) at the U.S. Department of State and is supported through an annual Congressional appropriation. The Institute of International Education (IIE) administers the program from the IIE Houston office.
A. Awards of up to $5,000 are made for up to one academic year of undergraduate study abroad. Award amounts will vary based on student's rank in the selection process, their financial need and length of program with the average award being $4,000. Gilman Scholarship funds may only be used to cover eligible study abroad program costs and related expenses. These include: program tuition and fees, room and board, books, local transportation, health insurance and international airfare. Personal expenses such as clothing, entertainment, electronics and excursions outside of the program are not eligible for use of Gilman Scholarship funds.
Students who apply for and receive the Gilman Scholarship to study abroad are then eligible to receive an additional $3,000 Critical Need Language Supplement from the Gilman Scholarship Program for a total possible award of up to $8,000 if they are studying a critical need language while abroad. During the 2011-2012 academic year, 50 Critical Need Language Supplements were offered to Gilman Scholarship recipients.
Recipients of the Gilman Scholarship are never contacted by phone or email to provide personal bank information. If selected for a Gilman Scholarship, recipients will utilize the password protected and secure Gilman Recipient Portal to input all fund distribution information.
A. The Gilman Scholarship Program is a national, highly competitive scholarship. Approximately 1 in 3 Gilman Scholarship applicants are selected to receive the scholarship during the Fall or Spring application cycles. Please see the Selection Criteria and Program Statistics pages for further information.
The Summer 2011 cycle was the first year that all undergraduates are eligible to apply for a summer study abroad program. Approximately 1 in 5 Gilman Scholarship applicants were selected to receive the scholarship.
Back to top
A. Yes, if you are selected as a scholarship recipient, you must furnish evidence of international insurance coverage, to include health, accident, emergency evacuation and repatriation insurance. More information on the insurance requirement will be provided at a later date to all recipients.
A. The Gilman Scholarship Program is designed to support participation in a full-time study abroad program for undergraduate academic credit, not paid work abroad. However, applications will be considered from students who propose an internship as an integrated and meaningful component of their study abroad program. Also, students studying in countries which allow those on student visas to work part-time may do so as long as they maintain full-time enrollment in their study abroad program and are not in violation of any laws or regulations of their program or host country.
A. It may. University financial aid offices have federal, state and institutional guidelines they must follow when awarding financial aid packages. The Gilman Scholarship Program has no control over this process though we do encourage institutions to reduce loan amounts first if the receipt of this award does affect a student's financial aid package.
A. All applicants will be notified of their status via the primary email address given in their Gilman online account. Please consult the Deadlines & Timeline for more information regarding the timeline of award notifications.

Individual Travel Cards
The optional UW Travel Card is an individual liability card for permanent UW faculty and staff who are employed by the University with at least 6 months appointment. UW Travel Card is to be used for official University business travel expenses only. It is not intended to be used for personal purchases.
Travel card users must seek reimbursement for travel expenses from the Travel Office using eTravel. Travel Card holders are required to pay the entire balance on the card monthly.
As a state agency, the University of Washington was required to use state contracts for travel expenses such as airfare and travel agencies. Effective June 7, 2012, the use of state contracts or UW travel accounts are no longer required but are available for use. The new policy allows higher education to book travel arrangements using the "most" economical means possible.
Central Travel Account (CTA) account is preferred payment method when booking airfare for efficiency and easy reconciliation.

White House Signals It's Flexible on Deadline for New Rules
Stephen Power reports on energy policy.
That Nov. 1 deadline for federal agencies to complete new regulations may not be so iron-clad.
So says White House regulatory czar Susan Dudley in a letter this month to a law professor at New York University who had accused the Bush administration of violating its own pledge to "resist the historical tendency of administrations to increase regulatory activity in their final months."
The Oct. 9th letter to NYU Law Dean Richard L. Revesz states that a May 9th memo from White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten to federal agencies "was not intended to be a moratorium on proposed regulations" and "contemplates some circumstances in which it would be appropriate for individual regulations to proceed without regard to deadlines if approved by" her office. Dudley is administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.
The folks at NYU say Dudley appears to making an "end run" around what many legal observers thought was an administration pledge to curtail the practice of "midnight regulations," in which last-minute policy changes get pushed through in the waning days of a presidency. The NYU Law School's Institute for Policy Integrity has circulated Dudley's letter to reporters in recent days.
In memo to agency heads last May, Bolten said that "except in extraordinary circumstances, regulations to be finalized in this Administration should be proposed no later than June 1, 2008, and final regulations should be issued no later than Nov. 1, 2008." Proposals now in final stages of review at various federal agencies affect mining, endangered-species protection, health care and other areas.
In some cases, the administration has set unusually short deadlines for the public to comment — so short that one agency, the Fish and Wildlife Service, recently summoned employees across the country to Washington to help agency leaders vet 200,000 comments in only four days.

I spent 3 nights here on the tail end of my recent trip to Costa Rica. The gardens are lovely. The pool was clean, refreshing and attractively situated. Breakfast was pleasant. The staff are very helpful - they arranged transport and tours for me.
The room was immaculate and I was able to get some laundry done - a nice extra.
Internet Access in the lobby - spotty wi-fi service.
Several typical tico food restaurants are within walking distance and an ATM is at the end of the main street. I would certainly stay here again.
Plan on bringing a book to share - they are involved in a program of donating books to local grade schools. And its a good place to leave those paperbacks behind - to make more room in your luggage for the coffee you will want to take home.

Tuesday's shots are from Sunday . . . while much of CB was at Crested Butte Mountain Resort enjoying four inches of new snow and checking out the Al Johnson, a couple of friends and I headed up Mt. Emmons for a backcountry run. Temps were chilly on the valley floor and the upper end of the valley seemed a little hazy Sunday morning. The day warmed as we climbed Mt. Emmons, but it wasn't until we got above treeline and could see to the southwest that the haze made sense–the Ohio and Gunnison valleys were blanketed with clouds. Today's first shot is looking southwest, across Splain's Gulch, out past the Anthracites and across the upper Ohio Creek Valley (covered in clouds), across to the Castles.
The next shot is looking south at Whetstone, Axtel and Carbon, with the Gunnison low country shrouded in clouds and the San Juan's a thin line of white in the far distance. On the left-hand side of the shot, you can see the Trappers Crossing roads in the dark timber and CB South on the valley floor way back on the left.
Today's third shot is of Allen Hadley making powdery turns down Red Lady Bowl, with the town of Crested Butte and Crested Butte Mountain in the background. There were five-or-so inches of nice powder on top of sun crust, so while there was a firm base underneath and the scrape-ity-scrape-scrape soundtrack of our turns didn't seem right with all the powder that was blowing up around us, it skied just fine almost all the way back to the parking lot.
Looks like we're in store for more sun and pleasantness today before seeing snow the next couple of days. Have a really good day and we'll see you tomorrow.

I have exams in weeks 5, 6 and 7 and I really wanted to book a holiday at the end of June before the prices shoot up.
I've seen an announcement saying that results will be published in week 10 and that we should 'remain in york until that time'. I assume we have to collect results in person?
Basically what I want to know is, can I book a holiday in week 10? I don't really understand how it works and what we're supposed to be doing between exams and results!

Which department are you in? It seems to be different dependent. I know that in my department, History, there are various odd careers events and a plenary session after the exams end. The plenary session is compulsory, but the rest are optional. However they may still be advisable to attend.

Draw a Sitting Dragon - *Here's a tutorial for drawing a sitting dragon. A print friendly PDF may be downloaded HERE.* 1. Follow the steps on my handout to make the drawing shown....
2 years ago
This was another GREAT project. It's always important to think about all the things you are thankful for, especially at Thanksgiving. The box was fun to decorate with a Fall and Thanksgiving theme. The cards really were a wonderful thing for our family to do. We really shared some great thoughts, feelings, memories, and ideas. Perfect family project!!!
I couple creative ideas we will/did add to our box...
We decided to take a family photo each year and add that with the individual family cards and we also decided to do a hand print on the back of each family members' card. This added to the fun now and the memories in the future.

The Other Claude Chabrol
August 17–27, 2007
Prodigiously productive, Claude Chabrol has directed more than fifty-five films in the five decades that have elapsed since he led the charge of the French New Wave directors with his first feature, the revolutionary Le Beau Serge (1958). Within that hefty output lurk several feature films, as well as works commissioned for French television, that have never made it into American theaters. Exhibiting the famously detached and chilling style, sophisticated intrigue, and dense psychological drama of his well-known films, as well as a more pronounced sense of fun and games, these ten programs give an indication of the Chabrol we may have missed out on. The exhibition kicks off with the North American premiere of Chabrol's newest work, The Necklace (2007). All films directed by Chabrol and in French, with English subtitles.
Organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, and Leigh Goldstein, Executive Assistant, Department of Film. Grateful thanks to the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, the Torino Film Festival, and Sub-ti Ltd.

Performed better than expected,I used this jack to level the floor on a 2 story house on the main beam of the major load bearing wall. Worked flawlessly with no issues,no bleeding off or leak-down under the immense weight of this Victorian behemoth. I bought 2 of these and 1 has done the job beautifully! You won't be disappointed with the performance or price of this little powerhouse!

great jack
By 1each
from norfolk va
I used this jack under a house to help lift the joist back up so that i could brace them where the floor would not sag on the house

Not recommended
By Glenn
from Fayetteville,Ga
While the bottle jack did the job when finished it couldn't be lowered back down. I had to force it from under the beam I was lifting and it was in a very difficult position and even when it was free I could not push it back down to its lower position. I would not recommend this jack and intend to return it to the store
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Worked briefly
By Maro
from Albany, NY
Bought this jack to pick up heavy loads of logs. Worked for a brief time, got a half dozen heavy lifts out of it. Then stopped lifting. No leaks, no bubbles. Assume the seal failed. Replaced the unit with a Torin, hoping for better results.

Therefore, if there are disappointments on policy actions not following through after the Presidential elections, we could go back to 11.5-12 times pretty easily, because that is where we started from and that is where the real absolute bottom is. So I would say around 5% to 10% down from here.
ET Now: Which is one big reform that the markets are indeed hungry for?
Rahul Singh: Undoubtedly the diesel price hike. This is the single biggest event that the market is watching. It could just be a Rs 3 or a Rs 4 hike, but we need that.

ENV 531 / CEE 583 / GEO 531: Topics in Energy and the Environment: Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
This course provides students with the science and engineering underpinnings to understand the oil and gas components of the world's energy supply mix. We introduce fundamentals of hydrocarbon accumulation, phase behavior of petroleum fluids, fluid flow in porous media, and material balance. Drilling and production operations are overviewed and followed by a focus on primary, improved and enhanced recovery schemes. This provides a platform for examining definitions of reserves and resources, a distinction further clarified when petroleum economics are included. Consideration is given to running safe and environmentally responsible operations. The course concludes with an investigation of the role of oil and gas in the current mix and potential future scenarios.
Undergraduates are encouraged to enroll in this course and must obtain the written consent of the ENV Program to enroll. Any undergraduate student who wishes to enroll in a graduate-level course must now complete a graduate course permission form. Completed forms should be brought to the Office of the Registrar once all required signatures are obtained. All course inquiries may be directed to CMI.

Froome faces ultimate test as Le Tour takes on Alpe d'Huez
Two ascents, one 'hellish' descent, storms, 1 million spectators and Contador all lie in wait
CHRIS FROOME faces possibly his biggest challenge yet in the campaign to win the Tour de France today as he embarks on what promises to be an epic stage, featuring two ascents of the famous Alpe d'Huez and a kamikaze plunge down the side of the mountain. His task will be made all the more perilous by the threat of storms, gales, huge crowds and non-stop attacks from his Spanish rival, Alberto Contador.
The British rider may have tightened his grip on the yellow jersey yesterday by winning the time-trial into Chorges, switching from a road bike to a specialised time-trial machine midway through the course, and extending his lead over Contador by nine seconds, but it is today's stage that could make the difference.
"Who, or what, on earth can stop Froome now?" asks Ian Chadband of the Daily Telegraph. "Perhaps only Thursday's ultimate challenge, the 100th Tour's razzmatazz stage, the double ascent of its most celebrated mountain, L'Alpe d'Huez, sandwiched by a hellish descent which plenty of riders are up in arms about, all very possibly staged in the teeth of a thunderstorm and 1.2 million in-your-face fans."
The race will head to "the mother of all battlegrounds today with Contador's form apparently improving and his spirit refusing to be quelled," says Owen Slot of The Times.
But while Contador remains bullish could Froome be feeling the heat? Earlier this week he criticised his rival for taking "uncalculated risks" and "desperate" riding. Now he has joined calls to cut short today's stage if rain arrives because of the extreme nature of the course as it races down from Col de Sarenne.
"The descent is so tight and cliff-edged that significant, respected riders have claimed that it pushes danger too far," says Slot. "The last thing the peloton needs is for rain to accentuate the risk factor - and that is what every forecast suggests it is going to get."
The debate over safety takes the sport to "a dark place" he adds. "The amount of danger they wish to take on is a personal decision for every rider to make, but... one slight error of judgment could be fatal."
Froome has made his feelings clear. "It's a dangerous descent, if it's raining it will be even more dangerous," he said. But William Fotheringham of The Guardian notes that the Briton's stance would "not endear Froome to those who believe that downhill skills are as much a part of a bike racer's repertoire as uphill power output".
That is a theme picked up on by Contador's team. The Spaniard's team manager Bjarne Riis warned: "Froome should use his brakes more if he is too afraid because we are going to attack everywhere, whether it's uphill or down."

Milwaukee Rep taps power, passion of 'Raisin in the Sun'
Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun" is not only one of the greatest American plays ever written. It's also a play - read in school, seen on film and frequently performed - we all think we know better than we actually do.
The Milwaukee Repertory Theater drove these truths home Friday night, opening a galvanic production of "Raisin" that will go down as a landmark we'll be talking about for years - and that I assure you is like no "Raisin" you've ever seen. »Read Full Article

In the Gallery 10 and the Decorative Arts Gallery, MAM will display the works upon which the museum was founded. And the Baumgartner Galleria will display items that illustrate the history of MAM.

Love brings hope to Next Act Theatre's 'Grace'

With the whodunit out of the way, "Grace" tries to answer those questions by taking us back three months and starting over. During the ensuing two hours, we'll move forward in time toward that climactic scene with which the play began. »Read Full Article

According to the college, significant highlights from Richards' presidency include: Completion of the Defining Moments capital campaign that generated $25.1 million in private gifts to the college; approval, development and expansion of the Newburgh campus, and construction and expansion at the Middletown campus, including the Rowley Center for Science and Engineering.

WASHINGTON - The Army Corps of Engineers is ready for Tropical Storm Karen, despite the ongoing partial government shutdown.
So says, Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who has been one of the Corps' biggest critics.
Vitter came away reassured after meeting Friday morning with Colonel Richard Hansen, the Corps' commander and New Orleans District engineer.
"I can absolutely confirm that every person and all resources that the Corps will need to protect the Gulf from this storm are ready and available," Vitter said. "There is no negative impact trickling down from the government shutdown, and the Corps' preparation for Tropical Storm Karen will not be compromised in any way."
On Thursday, President Barack Obama lifted shutdown related furloughs for some FEMA employees so the agency could be ready for the tropical storm.

If a network administrator interconnects two subnetworks, each presumably served IPv4 addresses from the same address range (for example, 192.168.244.x) the administrator must take some additional precautions to prevent conflicts between the two servers. This problem occurred before VPN technology existed and was not made better or worse by the introduction of VPNs. Also, note that the two draft options that Rich mentions concern the option space, not addresses allocated by the DHCPv4 server. Introducing a zone index per RFC 3291 would require a fundamental change in the message and option formats of DHCPv4, and possibly require a change in the protocol message exchange as well, forcing a major revision of DHCPv4, something that I'm certain the DHC Working Group would not wish to undertake at this point. --Barr Hibbs

Question: I'm getting married soon. My fiancee owns a home that we want to protect from my adverse credit past. I owe back child support and I don't want this property attached to my debts. I understand from your articles that what I need to do is sign a quitclaim deed and file it at the courthouse. Is this all that needs to be done? Or are there any other measures that would protect my fiancée as well? Do I file this pre-marriage or after?
Answer: If your wife-to-be owned the house before you married her, it can remain her separate property after the marriage as long as you do not go on title with her as a co-owner.
While it is not required by law, it is a good idea to file a quitclaim deed against the property to give public notice that you have no legal interest.
Many people don't realize that you don't have to actually own a property in order to file a quitclaim deed on it. That's because all that a quitclaim deed says is that you quit, or give up, any legal ownership interest that you have in a certain property — even if you never had an ownership interest in it to begin with.
For example, I could give you a quitclaim deed to the Space Needle. It would be perfectly legal. But that doesn't mean you would become the new owner of the Space Needle. It merely means that I am giving you all the ownership interest that I have in the Space Needle. And since I don't have any ownership interest in the Space Needle, the deed is worthless.
That would also be the case if you signed a quitclaim deed to your wife on the house that she owns. It does not signify a transfer of ownership, but it does give legal and public notice that you acknowledge that she owns the house as her separate estate and you have no legal ownership claim to it.
At my mortgage company, we often do this when we refinance properties that were owned by one spouse prior to a marriage and that person wants to maintain the property as a separate estate. The lender typically requires the nonowner spouse to sign a quitclaim deed to acknowledge that he or she is aware that their spouse is getting a new mortgage on the property and they have no legal interest in the property.
Again, this is not required by law. But banks are very conservative (especially these days) and they do this to protect themselves from potential lawsuits. Otherwise, it might be possible for someone to later claim that their spouse took out a new mortgage on their property without permission.
Whether you actually need to file a quitclaim deed to your wife before or after the marriage I think is a question best answered by an attorney. Please consult an attorney for more advice on this issue.
One other issue to consider is the concept of community property. If you and your wife combine your bank accounts and community funds are used to pay the mortgage on your wife's house, you will acquire a community interest in the property.
So I suggest that your wife set up a separate bank account for the mortgage and maintenance of the house to make sure it remains her separate property. Again, please consult an accountant or attorney for more advice.

Absolute return scrutiny continues
The IMA's controversial Absolute Return sector has been under the spotlight for a significant period, particularly since the global financial crisis caused chaos in the markets in 2007 and 2008.
The IMA's announcement in June that it was, once again, conducting a consultation into the sector and, more recently, the FSA's plan to investigate the area in the autumn did not surprise anyone in the investment industry.
A report by the FSA reported that 51 per cent of absolute return funds failed to make a positive return in 2011. A further 33 per cent failed to beat inflation and a report from IFA firm Informed Choice discovered only three funds in the sector scored above their
80 per cent minimum threshold for fund suitability. Consumer group Which? slammed absolute return funds earlier this year, listing them alongside 12 other "unlucky financial products".
According to Informed Choice's research, the three funds to receive acceptable quantitative scores were Henderson Credit Alpha, Insight Absolute Insight and Newton Real Return, representing less than 6 per cent of the total number of funds in the sector. Sixty-seven per cent of funds in the Absolute Return sector received a score of less than half the maximum possible, when factors including consistency and cost were reviewed, the report shows.
Martin Bamford, chartered financial planner at Informed Choice, says: "Absolute return funds are regularly criticised for their poor performance and high costs. This research demonstrates that criticism is justified for the vast majority of funds in the sector.
Selection process
"Our fund selection process seeks to identify funds that demonstrate consistent risk managed returns combined with low total expense ratios. Absolute return funds have never been a comfortable fit with our investment philosophy at Informed Choice, and this research shows that they offer very little that should attract investors."
In spite of ongoing queries over the sector, eight new funds launched into it in 2011 and a further three so far this year, including the Ignis Absolute Return Credit fund just this summer.
Managed by Ignis's head of credit, Chris Bowie, the fund is made up of the manager's best ideas and targets a low volatility level of 2-6 per cent, zero duration and zero interest rate risk, as well as aiming for a low correlation to other asset classes.
Claiming it to be a "new breed of absolute return fund", Mr Bowie adds "[the fund] should eliminate investor concerns with the potential to provide consistent, positive returns regardless of market direction. By investing in highly liquid credit default swaps (CDS), the fund will not be impacted by decreasing levels of liquidity in the cash corporate bond market. I and members of the Ignis credit team have personally invested in the fund."

1:15 a.m., the caller ID screen was dark. He angrily reached for the phone, pushing the unused condom off of his nightstand, and murmured, "Hello?" There was no one on the other end of the line. "Hello?" he said louder. It must have been the storm that had raged for hours. It had knocked out the TV just as he had turned on the news. Another lonely night without any luck at the local bar. One red lipped beauty had caught his eye and he had been so close…the bathroom door started to rattle and he sat up in bed.
3rd Place
Author: Lockwood Ray
I am a stalker. I live for the fear, the unique smell of sweat, the sweet taste of panicked breath that characterizes my subjects. Each slap of a shoe against the sidewalk, every quick, almost neck breaking head turn, and every expansion and depression of the lungs makes me . . . happy . . . leaves me wanting. My favorite part of following my subjects home is the look on their faces when they have shut their doors behind them, safe in their homes. That long, deep exhale of relief only spurs me on my search for the weakness in their safe havens. I always find a way in... always.

North Carolina Poet Laureate Joseph Bathanti held a poetry workshop for English students and then read from his award-winning work during the Spring 2014 semester. A poet, novelist and short story writer, Bathanti has created a rich body of work that depicts life in the American where he has grown up. "I can't imagine a better place in the United States to be a writer than North Carolina," Bathanti says. "There is no place richer in literature, and no place that has celebrated writers in quite the same way as our state does."

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
The Perks of Being a Wallflower Part 4, Chapter 12 Summary
How It All Goes Down
June 13, 1992
- Compared to the last few letters, this is a long one.
- The major news: Craig and Sam have broken up. Of course, Charlie has a lot to say about this.
- Long story short, Craig had been cheating on Sam. A lot. Mary Elizabeth's boyfriend, Peter, knew about it, and convinced him to tell Sam.
- Charlie writes that he "wasn't happy about Craig and Sam breaking up. Not at all" (4.12.31). Really, Charlie? Really?
- He then describes lunch at Bill's house, where he meets Bill's hippie girlfriend for the first time. They listen to music and eat salad and spaghetti, and during lunch they have a couple of very special moments.
- Bill tells Charlie that he's "very special" (4.12.53) and that he considers Charlie a friend. Apparently the feeling is mutual because Charlie says that Bill is "the best teacher [he] ever had" (4.12.57).
- Before wrapping up the letter, Charlie writes that the last person to call him special was his Aunt Helen. But he thinks, "everyone is special in their own way" (4.12.62). Maybe Charlie could get a job on Sesame Street.

Today's Department of Defense computer sleuths graduate from the Defense Cyber Investigations Training Academy (DCITA), considered by many to be the top digital forensics school in the United States. CSC designs and teaches all of the academy's courses, while also providing a variety of technical, logistical and administrative services.
The techniques taught by CSC instructors at DCITA are used to track down and prosecute an array of criminals, from high-tech spies and terrorists to low-tech thieves and con artists. When a crime is committed against the security of DoD information systems, DCITA graduates gather the evidence later used by prosecutors in military and civilian courts.
"The partnership with CSC at DCITA is a model for success in the federal government," says Raymond J. Kessenich, the academy's former director. "CSC recognizes the importance of the mission and strives to provide a product which exceeds the needs of the customer. It is rewarding to observe the classroom interaction of government and corporate subject matter experts as they advance the field of digital forensics."
A smart move
DCITA got its start in 1997 with the Defense Reform Initiative, which targeted the use of information technology to improve performance throughout the DoD. With the threat of computer intrusions on the rise, the DoD charged the U.S. Air Force to create the first federal institution exclusively dedicated to computer forensics training. The DoD colocated the fledgling program in Linthicum, Maryland, alongside the Defense Computer Forensics Laboratory, also newly created under the initiative. The Air Force assembled a faculty staffed by civilian experts and directed by members of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and Army Military Intelligence. In 1998, CSC put together DCITA's first course, Introduction to Computer Search and Seizure. Ten years later, the small program has grown into an academy, featuring 23 unique courses and offering 128 iterations, of which seven have been approved for college credit by the American Council of Education.
Basic to advanced instruction
CSC develops the DCITA curriculum under a cost-reimbursable contract that allows the DoD the flexibility to add new courses as needed, according to changes in technology and crime. In the wake of 9/11, for example, CSC created the Deployable Forensics course to help agents perform cyber investigations in hostile territory. CSC also added the Large Data Set Acquisition course to address large network storage devices that, once rare, are now increasing in number and size. The curriculum is organized into training tracks that offer basic to advanced instruction. Students progress according to their proven skill level and training requirements. The foundation course of the program is the Introduction to Networks and Computer Hardware. Other classes teach investigators and computer specialists how to access hard drives and storage media to gather evidence without altering it or otherwise compromising its integrity. Students learn how to assess whether a computer intrusion has occurred and how to gather computer forensic evidence from a network. In all cases, students must be proficient in an array of languages and platforms, ranging from MS-DOS and Mac OS to GPS and cell phones.
Taking a byte out of crime
By the end of 2008, DCITA had trained more than 10,393 agents from organizations across
the DoD and federal government, including:
• Naval Criminal Investigative Service
• Army Military Intelligence
• Army Criminal Investigations Division
• Defense Computer Forensics Laboratory
• Defense Cyber Crime Institute
• Defense Criminal Investigative Service
• Federal Bureau of Investigation
• Secret Service
• Department of Homeland Security
According to Kessenich, DCITA graduates are called on to exploit digital information for all DoD investigations and operations, including the War on Terror. "From Special Forces teams on the ground in Afghanistan to NCIS special agents in Haditha, Iraq, DCITA-trained personnel are called on to perform in unprecedented conditions, with solid, credible results to be utilized in national security,criminal and counterintelligence concerns."
