MUST END Thursday, August 16th!
35mm presentation - Frieda Pinto soars in filmmaker Michael Winterbottom's drama Trishna, in her most revealing performance yet. Trishna (Pinto) lives with her family in a village in Rajasthan, India's largest state. As the eldest daughter, she works in a nearby resort to help pay the bills. Jay (Riz Ahmed, Four Lions) is the wealthy son of a property developer. When he takes up managing a resort at his father's request, he meets Trishna at a dance and their fates cross. Jay finds every opportunity to win Trishna's affection and she accepts his efforts with shy curiosity. But when the two move to Mumbai and become a couple, Jay's deep family bond threatens the young lovers' bliss. Based on Thomas Hardy's classic novel Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Trishna is a powerful look at the tension between ancient privilege and modern equality, between codes of urban and rural life and ultimately a hymn to both the glory and the tragedy that comes with beauty in all forms.

Westminster confirms number of bedroom tax households owed refunds due to '1996' exemption
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Local Government and also in Housing
Westminster confirms number of bedroom tax households owed refunds due to '1996' exemption
More than 120 families in Westminster can expect refunds of over £700 each after it was revealed that they should have been exempt from paying the bedroom tax.
The Department for Work and Pensions is currently in the process of changing regulations to amend an oversight in the controversial policy that means people who have been in continuous receipt of housing benefit since January 1 1996 should not be paying.
Westminster Council has confirmed there are 124 households in the borough who qualify for the "1996" exemption.
In a note to councillors, officers said: "In January 2014, the DWP (Department of Work and Pensions) announced that tenants whose tenancy commenced before 1st January 1996 and have received HB continuously should not be affected by the under occupation cap.
"Analysis confirms that there are 124 under occupation cap cases that qualify for the "1996" exemption. The benefits team are now organising their re-assessment."
Since 1st April 2013, families hit by the bedroom tax have had their housing benefit reduced by 14% of their rent if they have one spare room and 25% of their rent if they have two or more spare rooms. A family with one spare room has lost £18 a week since 1st April – over £700.
There are currently 382 families in council flats who are hit by the bedroom tax and the council has moved just 48 families to smaller flat in the nine months from April – December 2013 – a rate of less than six families a month.
Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg, leader of the Labour Group, said: "This huge government bungle has cost 124 of the most vulnerable families in Westminster over £700 each, some of whom are now in rent arrears or have had to cut down on essentials in order to pay the new tax.
"The bedroom tax has caused nothing but misery and the sooner it is scrapped the better."
The Department for Work and Pensions said nationally they estimate fewer than 5,000 people will be affected. However, housing benefit experts have questioned the Department's calculations estimating the figure to be closer to 40,000.
In the past week alone, Wirral Council has reported 600 residents are affected; Sheffield 'about 500' and both Liverpool and Birmingham councils have estimated significant numbers.

Waylon Jennings was admitted into the hospital in Phoenix late last week.
The Country Music Hall of Fame member [1] suffers from peripheral vascular disease, making it difficult for him to walk. Doctors performed surgery on his leg, and say that he should be able to return to his normal daily life as soon as he heals.
However, Jennings has postponed two concerts due to his hospitalization—one in Tuscon and one in Phoenix.
This is the second time Jennings has undergone surgery for this particular condition.

Is This Painting Too Raunchy For Our Galleries?
Wednesday 9th July 2014
A painting has been taken down from a London gallery after visitors complained about pubic hair being visible.
Leena McCall's 'Portrait of Ms Ruby May, Standing' was taken down from the Mall Galleries after just two days on display.
The painting shows Ms May dressed in a revealing green waistcoat and culottes with no underwear.
The Society of Women Artists, who ran the exhibition, said that the artwork had been deemed too risqu� by gallery curators and they felt it was inappropriate for children to look at.
Ms McCall labelled the censorship "idiotic".
.@mallgalleries this kind of idiotic censorship doesn't do you or any artist any favours. Get over yourselves. @MsMccall #eroticcensorship� Lucy (@LucyLyons) July 2, 2014
She added that she would be hanging the painting at her studio for anyone who wanted to see it.

LeapFrog Group Hospital Ratings
The Leapfrog Hospital Survey is a national, evidence-based survey of hospital safety, quality, and efficiency. Annually over 1200 hospitals report to the Leapfrog Hospital Survey on certain aspects of care found to be of most important to consumers. Leapfrog's survey has three overall focus areas:
- How patients fare – Leapfrog asks hospitals to report on how patients in their hospital fare while undergoing certain surgical procedures, high-risk newborn deliveries, normal newborn deliveries, while being treated for pneumonia or a heart attack, and whether or not they have acquired an injuries or infections during their hospital stay.
- Resources used to care for those patients – Leapfrog asks hospitals to report on their length of stay and readmission rates for certain conditions and procedures like heart bypass surgery and heart attack. Length of stay and readmissions impact the cost of a hospital stay.
- Management practices that promote safety and quality – Leapfrog asks hospitals to report on things that their administration and leadership have adopted to promote safety and quality. For example, computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems, which are used so doctors can order medications electronically, have been shown to reduce medication errors by up to 85% because they contain decision-support tools designed to alert doctors to potential drug to drug interactions, allergies and other common prescribing errors.
Leapfrog uses a cell phone bar ratings system so people can see a hospital's progress in meeting our safety and quality standards:
|Progress Towards Meeting LeapFrog's Standards
Willing to Report
Some Progress
Substantial Progress
Fully Meets Standards
Methodist Healthcare 2015 LeapFrog Group Hospital Ratings
What These Indicators Mean & Why They're Important to You
Prevent Medication Errors: Patients should choose a hospital that uses computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) systems to order medications, tests, and procedures. CPOE systems are computer systems designed to alert doctors and other prescribers to potentially serious problems with their instructions.
Appropriate ICU Staffing: Patients should choose a hospital with an intensive care unit (ICU) that is staffed by doctors and other caregivers who have special training in critical care medicine. These doctors are called 'intensivists'.
Steps to Avoid Harm: Patients should choose a hospital that has a high Leapfrog Safe Practices Score. This means the hospital has put in place procedures to reduce 9 common, preventable medical mistakes. Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare is committed to outstanding patient care. Registered nurse staffing is one component that influences the quality and safety of care. Nursing staffing is based on each clinical unit's unique circumstances (e.g., physical plant, patient conditions, experience of staff), the staffing levels recommended by specialty nursing organizations, and most important, the intensity of care and changing needs of our patients.
Managing Serious Errors: Patients should choose a hospital that has implemented Leapfrog's policy on managing serious events (or \"never events\") such as surgery on the wrong body part or death due to contaminated drugs or devices.
Reduce ICU Infections: Patients should choose a hospital that has a lower rate of central line-associated bloodstream infections. Hospitals are compared to the rates of hospitals for the same ICU type.
Reduce Urinary Catheter Tract Infections in ICU: Patients should choose a hospital that has a lower rate of urinary catheter tract infections. Hospitals are compared to the rates of hospitals for the same ICU type.
Reduce Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcers: A patient should choose a hospital that has a low rate of Pressure Ulcers (bedsores). Pressure Ulcers are caused by infrequent moving or turning of a patient while hospitalized.
Reduce Hospital Acquired Injuries: A patient should choose a hospital that has a low rate of hospital injuries such as falls and other traumatic injuries (broken or dislocated bones, burns or crushing injuries). These types of injuries can be avoided.
Rate of Early Elective Deliveries: Normal newborn deliveries between 37 and 39 weeks completed gestation. These early deliveries can result in an increase in the newborn's length of stay and possible admission to the intensive care unit. This can also increase the cost to the patient. An expectant mother should choose a facility with a lower rate of early elective deliveries.
Rate of Episiotomy: An episiotomy is an incision in the perineum during childbirth. The current medical guidelines recommend this procedure only in certain cases. An expectant mother should choose a facility with a lower rate of episiotomies.
Maternity Care Standards: A patient that will be delivering a baby should choose a hospital that adheres to evidence that promotes a healthy outcome for both the mother and the baby. This includes delivering the baby at the appropriate developmental age, using an appropriate delivery method, and following recommended processes of care.
High-Risk Deliveries: Patients having a high-risk delivery should choose a hospital that follows the recommended processes of care and also has lots of experience in caring for infants born with a very-low birthweight (less than 1500 grams).
Aortic Valve Replacement: Patients undergoing aortic valve replacement should choose a hospital that has a high success rate for aortic valve replacements and also has lots of experience with the procedure.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurism Repair: Patients undergoing an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair should choose a hospital that is predicted to have the best odds of having their patients survive the surgery.
Pancreatic Resection: Patients undergoing a pancreatic resection or pancreatectomy should choose a hospital that is predicted to have the best odds of having their patients survive the surgery.
Esophageal Resection: Patients undergoing an esophageal resection or esophagectomy should choose a hospital that is predicted to have the best odds of having their patients survive the surgery.
Length of Stay and Readmission for Common Acute Conditions (AMI, HF, and PN): Patients that receive high quality care during their hospitalization and during the preparation for their discharge from the hospital should have improved outcomes in their activities of daily living, functionality and overall survival. A patient should choose a hospital that has a low Length of Stay (LOS) rate and a low 30 day readmission rate for the Common Acute Conditions, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), and pneumonia (PN). A readmission (30-day readmission) is defined as any patient discharged from a hospital and then admitted back into the hospital again within 30 days of their discharge.

News :: Vinton city employee health plan to end July 1; city coordinator search update
· 9:58pm March 27th, 2014
The Vinton City Council learned on Thursday, March 27, that they have exactly four days and three months to find a new health plan for city employees.
Because of changes in the Blue Cross plan, the city policies no longer meet the Affordable Care Act guidelines; the insurer notified the city recently that the plan serving city employees and their dependents will be canceled July 1.
Interim City Coordinator Jeff Horne suggested that Mayor John Watson and others form a committee to begin considering other options.
"Tell your broker you want to see a wide range of options," said Horne.
Council member Dave Redlinger suggested contacting broker Bob Moen for updates on available Blue Cross plans, but also said the council should look at many options from many companies.
Horne reminded the council that the employment plans are covered by union agreements, and not offering a plan after July 1 would constitute a breach of contract.
Council members plan to review a variety of options, including funding Health Savings Accounts for employees as well as possibly providing a set stipend benefit with which the employees could purchase a private plan.
"Sit down with the unions now to let them know changes are coming," said Horne. "The goal is to provide a sustainable benefit for employees."
City Coordinator search continues
Horne plans to continue serving as interim city coordinator through June 1, the date that the council hopes to have a permanent coordinator hired. The council's Government Committee met with a representative from its search firm before the council meeting. The deadline for applications is April 11. So far, 21 people have applied.

I really like your color combination, and I don't feel that it looks too busy. My eye was attracted to the colors, as well as the border, so Congratulations! It is funky and attractive!

The Portrait of a Lady
by Henry James
The Portrait of a Lady Lies and Deceit Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
He was not changed; he had not disguised himself, during the year of his courtship, any more than she. But she had seen only half his nature then, as one saw the disk of the moon when it was partly masked by the shadow of the earth. She saw the full moon now--she saw the whole man. She had kept still, as it were, so that he should have a free field, and yet in spite of this she had mistaken a part for the whole. (42.2)
Isabel realizes that Osmond wasn't as deceptive as he could have been – he only showed her select parts of his personality, and she believed it to be everything. She did the same thing to him… they actually deceived each other into falling in love.
Quote #8
She could live it over again, the incredulous terror with which she had taken the measure of her dwelling. Between those four walls she had lived ever since; they were to surround her for the rest of her life. It was the house of darkness, the house of dumbness, the house of suffocation. Osmond's beautiful mind gave it neither light nor air; Osmond's beautiful mind indeed seemed to peep down from a small high window and mock at her. Of course it had not been physical suffering; for physical suffering there might have been a remedy. She could come and go; she had her liberty; her husband was perfectly polite. He took himself so seriously; it was something appalling. Under all his culture, his cleverness, his amenity, under his good-nature, his facility, his knowledge of life, his egotism lay hidden like a serpent in a bank of flowers. (42.5)
Though Osmond is perfectly civil on the outside, his self-centered, self-glorifying mental presence lurks on the inside. This is what emerged after their marriage, and it controls Isabel now.
Quote #9
"Well," said Caspar Goodwood simply, "she thinks I'm watching her."
"Watching her?"
"Trying to make out if she's happy."
"That's easy to make out," said Ralph. "She's the most visibly happy woman I know."
"Exactly so; I'm satisfied," Goodwood answered dryly. For all his dryness, however, he had more to say. "I've been watching her; I was an old friend and it seemed to me I had the right. She pretends to be happy; that was what she undertook to be; and I thought I should like to see for myself what it amounts to. I've seen," he continued with a harsh ring in his voice, "and I don't want to see any more. I'm now quite ready to go." (48.5)
Isabel herself has become something of a master deceiver in the years since her marriage, and she actively tries to fool both Caspar and Ralph into thinking that she is more than "visibly happy."

Oscars Snub Asia
East Asia's cinephiles won't have a local favorite to cheer during this year's foreign-language Academy Awards race after the Taiwan epic "Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale" (賽德克‧巴萊) failed to be nominated for best foreign-language film on Tuesday. Last week, the 4-1/2-hour film — based on the true story of Taiwan's indigenous Seediq tribes who launched an armed uprising against Japanese rule in 1930 — was among nine films short-listed for the foreign-language category.
More In Film
- Zhang Yimou on Failure, 'House of Cards' and 'Coming Home'
- Teenage Jeremy Lin Turns Screenplay Into Movie
- Review: Nick Cave Movie Biopic '20,000 Days on Earth'
- A Chinese Awards Show Gets a Hollywood Welcome
- Chinese Blogger Han Han Takes His Writing to the Big Screen
- To Film 'Wolf Totem,' French Director Raised Chinese Wolves
"Seediq Bale," from director Wei Te-sheng (魏德聖), was the only film from the region to make the short list. Another high-profile blockbuster, mainland China's "The Flowers of War" (金陵十三钗) from director Zhang Yimou (張藝謀) and starring Christian Bale, didn't make the short list. But "Seediq Bale" and "The Flowers of War" will compete at the Asian Film Awards in March, when both are up for best film and other nominations.
The failure of Taiwan to garner a nomination means that it's been more than a decade since it has been in the running for a foreign-language Oscar, despite the resurgence of its film industry in recent years.
Three previous Taiwan films have been nominated for best foreign-language film since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences established the competitive category in 1957. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award in 2001 (and was actually a co-production between Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and the U.S.), while "Eat Drink Man Woman" in 1995 and "The Wedding Banquet" in 1994 were nominated but didn't win. All three films were directed by Oscar-winning Taiwanese director Ang Lee (李安).
Meanwhile, Asia fared better in the Documentary (Short Subject) category, with nominations for "The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom," about Japan's first cherry-blossom season after the 2011 tsunami, and "Saving Face," about a plastic surgeon who treats Pakistani victims of acid attacks.
Here are the five movies nominated for best foreign-language film:
Belgium: "Bullhead"
Canada: "Monsieur Lazhar"
Iran: "A Separation"
Israel: "Footnote"
Poland: "In Darkness"

Principe's Blog: Tough Times for Tom
Gene takes a closer look at the career of Oilers head coach Tom Renney
Monday, 01.23.2012 / 4:11 PM MT / Blogs
By Gene Principe
|Oilers head coach Tom Renney won back-to-back Memorial Cups with the Kamloops Blazers in the 1990s. (photo by Andy Devlin / EOHC)
Tom Renney has been on the job three years with Edmonton. His first he served as an associate coach for Pat Quinn before the Irishman was let go after year one. Renney just shuffled down the bench from being on the side to being in the middle of things. A former NHL bench boss from Vancouver and NYR, he lasted from June of 1996 until November of 1997 with the Canucks. His record of 39-53-9 ended up being the reason he was let go. Renney has previously admitted that he might not have been ready for his position with Vancouver. He was much more ready on February 25th, 2004 when Renney was named the interim coach with the Rangers. He compiled a 164-117-46 record and three straight post-season appearances. Yet it didn't keep him from eventually losing his spot on New York's bench.
Along with stops in NHL coaching circles he has also worked his way around the World. Renney has been with Hockey Canada and been to the Olympics, World Championships and World Junior Events. When he coached Kamloops, the Blazers strung together a 101-37-6 mark (his .714 winning percentage is still the all time highest winning mark in CHL history). Kamloops won two league titles and a Memorial Cup with Tom Renney as the head coach. What he's done in the past doesn't really matter now but it builds a case for why he was chosen in the first place.
With the record Edmonton has and a coach sitting in the final year of his deal it's progressed to concerns about the team under Tom Renney. However, let's switch things around a little and not play the blame game but the name game. Let's say Renney wasn't coaching the Oilers and Mike Babcock, Dan Bylsma, Joel Quenneville or Claude Julien were. How much farther ahead would Edmonton be if one of the four most recent Cup champs and not Renney was deciding on systems, line combinations and strategy? Would it be 5 points or maybe 10? Would they be a playoff bound team? This is all so hypothetical that it's impossible to say what the results would be or could be but it makes me wonder how much better the Oilers would be. I don't think the difference would be that great and those are the best in the coching business.
Tom Renney is the tenth coach in team history. He follows Glen Sather, Bryan Watson, John Muckler, Ted Green, George Burnett, Ron Low, Kevin Lowe, Craig MacTavish and Pat Quinn. This season, seven coaches have been fired and Renney doesn't want to be the 8th. He said on Monday he'll keep working until someone asks him to turn in his keys. Until then he'll use them to try and unlock the mystery of what it takes to coach a winner in Edmonton.

SIKESTON -- With the start of the school year just around the corner, it's not just school supply lists parents need to check. Now is also the time to make sure children are up-to-date on their immunizations -- from those beginning kindergarten to older students about to start college.
"Right now is a busy time for shots -- and it always is around back-to-school time," said Paula Rost, director of nursing at the New Madrid County Health Department. "Everybody waits until the last minute, and the kindergarten shots are what is the busiest right now -- students can't get in without them."
Karen Evans, a registered nurse at the Scott County Health Department, said it's also a prime time for students around the age of 15 and those entering college to get shots.
"Fifteen year olds are getting their Tdap -- the booster from their kindergarten shots," said Evans. The Tdap is a combination of tetanus, diptheria and pertussis.
Gardisil, which helps protect against the human papillomavirus and is currently the only one to fight cervical cancer, has also been given quite a bit recently. The shot is aimed at females 9 to 26.
"It's sort of an individual decision and something we don't push," said Rost of the HPV vaccine. "It's definitely recommended, but we leave that up to the parents."
Mary Miller, a clerk at the Mississippi County Health Department, agreed. "I still don't think some parents understand it -- there's been some controversy on it."
Miller noted that different colleges have different requirements, so it's a good idea to check it out -- especially since shots are free or discounted at local health departments.
"The meningitis shot is recommended (for college students) and mandatory if they live in a dorm," she said.
Evans said people as young as 11 can receive the meningitis shot and it is just as effective. She said it protects from the disease passed when people live closely together -- such as in dorms -- and can result in death.
"If they're coming in for the Tdap, we go ahead and mention it then and give them information on it," she said.
Something relatively new for teens is the pertussis shot as part of their booster when they are 15 and entering high school, said Rost. It's only been part of the booster for two or so years, she said.
Pertussis is something several adults may not have ben immunized against -- and something they should consider, said Rost.
"If you would have a really bad cough, you might think about that and remind doctors to test you," she said. "It's very contagious and a lot of infants can get it from adults, but they're not old enough to be immunized."
The three also reminded that tetanus booster shots are recommended every 10 years -- although the last required immunization is part of the Tdap teens have. So, they encouraged parents to consider that -- or check their own shot records and get one if needed when they take their children for immunizations.
In an effort to make getting immunizations easier, the Scott County Health Department has an evening clinic, in addition to satellite clinics in different locations each Wednesday.
"They are usually pretty busy, but we've seen an increase lately with gas prices and back-to-school," said Evans.
When getting shots, individuals need to bring in their shot records. And if under 18, they need a parent with them.
Local health departments give shots on a walk-in basis at the following times:
> Mississippi County: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 8 a.m. to noon Friday. On Thursday and Friday, shots are also given at the satellite office in East Prairie.
> Shots are administered 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday at the New Madrid County Health Department. They are also given at all the WIC satellite clinics.
> The Scott County Health Department gives shots every Tuesday from 8 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3:30 p.m. There is an evening clinic from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Sikeston office and satellite clinics each Wednesday of the month from 9 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 3:30 p.m. Locations are: the Oran Jaycee Hall the first week; the Scott City First Assembly of God Church the second; the Chaffee Elks Lodge the third; and the Riverside Regional Library in Benton the fourth Wednesday of the month.
Qualifications for who can receive the immunizations vary by department. For more information, call your local health department.

Hate and bias incidents happen in multiple locations every day. The third most common location are colleges and school campuses. Such incidents have dramatic and subtle consequences on campuses. When there is a public bias or hate incident, the fabric of the school and its sense of itself as a quality learning environment are shaken deeply. However, everyday micro-hostilities and aggressions involving bias also create an ongoing hostile environment that signals to targeted members of a community that they are not included, valued, or respected – indeed, that they are unsafe. Luckily, many institutions have been considering how to address these issues for a significant period of time and we are able to benefit from their good work.
Best practices in organizing around hate and bias include educating the public around respecting and valuing the full diversity of humanity; empowering people to move beyond being bystanders to acts of intimidation, hostility and violence; and putting in place strong policies and networks which enable people and structures to act in the face of bias and hate. Below are some of the excellent tools that can help people and institutions become better organizers in creating a just and equitable campus.

Obama Convention Bounce Looking Less Likely
Obama: Voters Face 'Clearest Choice' in Generation
Ahead of the Democratic National Convention, Obama officials tried to damp expectations for a bounce in the polls for President Barack Obama. That way, if he gets one, great; if he doesn't, well then they never expected it anyway.

Friday's disappointing jobs report, coming just hours after the convention concluded, adds another wrinkle.
A senior administration official said Friday that it is too early to know whether the report will impact any bounce in the polls that Mr. Obama may have had coming. But he said it doesn't help that the report of 96,000 new jobs in August came in below what economists had expected.
"We will see. It is too early to know for sure," the official told reporters en route to Portsmouth, N.H., where Mr. Obama held his first post-convention rally. "I think it reminds people of what they already know: the economy is healing but too slowly, and there will be some focus that the job production is a little off expectations."
But he added, "Even back in January, February, March where we were producing 200,000 plus jobs [per month], the American people weren't doing celebratory dances."
White House senior adviser David Plouffe said Friday that he expects that after polls settle over the coming days, the race will probably wind up about where it was heading into the convention

"Our belief is we entered the convention with a small but important lead in most of those battleground states. We'll see where we are at the end of next week," he said. "But our suspicion is the race is going to be about where it was. And that's a problem for Mitt Romney."
He said that the Obama camp believes they came out of their convention with momentum. "That doesn't mean the race is going to change significantly," he added. He said it may have helped in particular their efforts to turn supporters out.
In national polls, Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney remain very close, with the Real Clear Politics average of polls putting Mr. Obama ahead by less than a percentage point.

St. Thomas High School is a well-established college preparatory that provides a caring, intellectually challenging learning atmosphere in which young men develop the tools necessary to become successful in their further studies and careers. Emphasis is placed on the students' preparedness for an ever demanding and diverse world.
The St. Thomas community, which includes students, parents, faculty, staff and alumni, nourishes the faith of all its members. Together, and as individuals, members of the community share the responsibility of actively bearing Christ's message to the society at large. Promotion of social justice and service to those in need stand at the core of this mission.
The faculty of St. Thomas is made up of professionals who demonstrate expertise, love and enthusiasm for their fields of study, while modeling Christian values in and outside of the classroom.
The faculty creates an atmosphere of mutual respect and openness, guiding each student to achieve his fullest potential. Expressing individual teaching styles within well-developed curricula, members of the faculty keep abreast of pedagogical and technological advances, continually incorporating these into their instruction.
Credit recovery courses taken with approval will become part of the school record, but grades will not be used in computation of the cumulative grade point average. Credit recovery courses do not change a student's grade point average (GPA) of the previous semester and may only be taken to make up a failure.
A student who fails to earn credit for a required course must acquire the credit in an approved summer school in order to return to St. Thomas the following year. The only exception to this is in full-year math and foreign language courses in which what is learned second semester builds on what is learned first semester. In this case, the first semester failing grade will be raised to 70 if the student earns a semester grade of 75 or better for the second semester. (Exceptions: Pre-Calculus and Advanced Pre-Calculus). All students are expected to develop and maintain good study habits. Students will strive to pass all courses. A student who fails more than one subject in a quarter will be ineligible to participate in any extra-curricular activities until the next report card.
To compute cumulative GPA, courses are distinguished according to their degree of difficulty, and grades are weighed according to the following criteria:
St. Thomas Club Members - Average of 93.00, no grade below 78. Honor Roll Members - Average of 86.00, no grade below 78.
The Valedictorian and Salutatorian are determined at the end of seven semesters. The students with the highest ranking average and the second highest ranking average in January of their senior year will be declared Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively. A student must have been in attendance at St. Thomas for at least five consecutive semesters in order to be declared Valedictorian or Salutatorian.

Briggs puts wedding on hold
Keep up to date with all of the action from the 2012 World Twenty20 with exclusive reports & reaction plus previews, features, video highlights and photos
Danny Briggs has put one life-changing date on temporary hold so he can try to help England retain their World Twenty20 crown.
The 21-year-old spinner had clearly not reckoned on making the cut from England's provisional 30-man squad to their final 15 when he and fiancee Linsey set the date for an autumn wedding.
But when the young couple discovered the groom-to-be was needed elsewhere, Briggs' understanding prospective life partner agreed to put the big day back a month so that he could represent his country.
He is shaping up as no mere bridesmaid in Sri Lanka either, having opened the bowling for England today and taken 3-15 in a 15-run warm-up win over Pakistan at the P Sara Oval.
The slow left-armer is grateful for his fiancee's support, and delighted to be doing her and his country proud too.
"She'll definitely understand," he said, after England had recorded a second successive warm-up victory to build confidence for the start of their competitive campaign against Afghanistan on Friday.
"We've rescheduled it, so it's now in October. So there's a bit of time now. I'll concentrate on this, and concentrate on the marriage afterwards. It's great to get three wickets here (instead)."
Briggs was not the only one with plenty to smile about after England had pulled off an improbable victory as he and Jade Dernbach, with 3-14, did the most to defend a vulnerable 111 all out and restrict Pakistan to 96 for nine.
Captain Stuart Broad's economy was also a significant contribution, as was in-form number three Luke Wright's 38 - almost twice as many as any other batsman managed on either side.
England were following up their nine-run win over Australia two days ago, and Briggs said: "We've played really well the first week, and to get two wins under our belt is perfect preparation really for that first match on Friday. We're really looking forward to that now."
He himself performed with credit too against Australia, even though Mike Hussey ruined his figures in that match by hitting three consecutive sixes in his final over.
Asked if he feels in the frame to therefore retain his place when things get serious for England's Group A opener, he said: "I hope so. It's come out well in both games, and that's all you can do really."
Briggs operated wicket-to-wicket, at a mostly full length, and was thankful for a new ball which helped him find some spin to go with his expert flight.
"I tried to bowl straight, and make them hit the ball; it's fairly simple, every game you play," he said. "They're all good players of spin, world-class. It's tough, but you've got to keep things simple."
Broad's hopefuls were aware they had fallen a little short with the bat after winning the toss, but knew they still had an outside chance on an awkward pitch.
"It was quite a low total, and you always fear it might not be enough," added Briggs.
"But then you go on to bowl with nothing to lose and try and bowl the best you can, to put them under pressure early - which is what we did in that first six overs.
"To keep them down to 90-odd in 20 overs and take those wickets as well is good. That gives us confidence, because we might have a situation in the tournament where that comes about again. This week has been good preparation to play against any side."

There are 2 main definitions of Clause 28 in English:
Clause 28 1
(In the United Kingdom) a clause of the 1988 Local Government Bill (which became section 28 of the 1988 Local Government Act) which forbids public spending by local authorities on any activity that promotes homosexuality, and thereby imposes restrictions on certain books and educational material, works of art, etc.
1980s; earliest use found in The Financial Times.
There are 2 main definitions of Clause 28 in English:
clause 2
1A unit of grammatical organization next below the sentence in rank and in traditional grammar said to consist of a subject and predicate. See also main clause, subordinate clause.
Example sentences
- In each sentence above, two clauses are linked by clause-chaining without conjunctions.
- A grounded clause corresponds to the traditional category of finite clause.
- What we really have here is an adjectival clause qualifying potentially a noun phrase or a noun.
2A particular and separate article, stipulation, or proviso in a treaty, bill, or contract.
Example sentences
- Contracts often have choice-of-law clauses, specifying the law to be applied.
- Also, I say to the Minister that it does not appear to me that there is a treaty clause in the bill.
- Under a provision referred to as clause 24 of the contract there was a time limit.
section, paragraph, article, subsection, note, item, point, passage, part, heading;
specification, requirement
clausal adjective
- Example sentences
- Problematic sequences that cannot easily be analysed into clausal constituents appear in such contexts as labels, titles, warnings, and greetings.
- The use of 'because' here makes clear that the external speaker is making a judgement about the clausal relationship between the two events described in and from the viewpoint of the discourse's internal protagonist.
- Having stated this position, Jackendoff immediately points to two cases where syntax and semantics fail to match up; one concerns the grammatical relation of clausal subject, the other the lexical category of noun.
Middle English: via Old French clause, based on Latin claus- 'shut, closed', from the verb claudere.
Words that rhyme with clauseapplause, Azores, cause, Dors, drawers, gauze, hawse, indoors, Laws, outdoors, pause, plus-fours, quatorze, Santa Claus, taws, tawse, yaws, yours
