Would any of the guys on your list be considered a CENTER?
what cracks me up about you idiots ont his site, is the fact that Mike D who sticks with his philosophy gives burn and has given burn to a multitude of players who are not offensive gurus on the court.
whether it be kurt thomas who did play significant minutes in pho for him
or boris diaw who was a terrible offensive player when he came into the league, and mike D turned him into an all around special player for pho when amare went down
or jared jefferies who is the worst offensive player I have ever seen, who started for us due to his defensive skills
or rony turiaf, who has no legitimate post moves what so ever, but has played in just about every game he has suited up for because his defensive presence
we started timofey mozgof in hopes he can provide shot blocking and size in the paint
we drafted tony douglas because he was the defensive player of the year in the ACC.
Mike D pushed for the pick up of raja bell as a defensive stopper to match up with kobe in the playoffs
I remember mike D giving steven hunter alot of burn off the bench avg 1.5 blks per game, as a horrible offensive player, but a valid back up for amare because he played defensive.
same as bo outlaw, who they picked up that year for defensive, but bo was injured a majority of his time there, so that never panned out.
The point is, mike has consistently played non offensive minded, defensive gifted players through out his career as a coach in the NBA.
so please stop with this crap about he only plays offensive players, because its untrue.
When shaq went to the suns, that team was stacked, and mike played shaq well into his system, revamping shaqs statistical output, only to fall to the spurs in the playoffs, because shaq couldnt make his foul shots ( literally thats why they lost, I remember being at hooters watching the game in atlantic city, and couldnt believe how many he missed down the stretch, and Mike D's face was like ? )
Mike D plays defensive players, and gets the best out of them offensively.
our only issue is we just dont have enough players on our team to take us to the level we want, defensive or not defensive, we need more playable bodies, if randolph wasnt a head case, looking over to the bench after each miss, he would be playing, and if azabukie wasnt in street clothes same thing.
the fact is, we are still in "rebuilding" mode, although we are progressing, I myself didnt predict we would be locked into the 6th seed, and no one else did either.
if I remember our predictions were literally, 7-8 seed, 40-42 wins.
a few weeks ago when we hit that long hard stretch, every one was like
"we will be 10 games below 500 by february"
well , we beat the spurs by 13, beat the thunder, the bulls, dismanted the suns and blazers, lost a hard fought battle to the jazz, and like alot of teams coming back from a rough west coast trip, we had a let down game against the kings.
either way.
we are in good, if not better shape than expected
and I am still excited about the direction we are going .
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
Would any of the guys on your list be considered a CENTER?
oh and how can i forget
amare stat stoudemire is playing center for us and 3rd in the league in blocked shots.
because mike doesnt get the best out of his pl;ayers defensively.
the fact of the matter is, down the stretch, most likely 15-18 of our 22 wins were won because we got defensive stops, big shot blocking, and forced teams to take bad shots.
its just hard when you play this pace to hold opponents to less ppg, being there is more shots taken on both ends.
get your eyes cleaned, we are a good defensive team, with league leading shot blocking in the middle, between amare and turiaf, next to the lakers and celtics we are probably as dangerous in the middle with regards to shot blocking as any team in the league.
we just arent deep enough
hands down
our bench
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
Kurt Thomas had a mid range jumper. His defense and rebounding were not the primary reasons he played.
Jared Jeffries isnt a center.
Moz is relegated to the bench. Have you noticed that?
Turiaf? Lets see what happens when Gallo comes back. His minutes have been sporadic at best.
You called me stupid (I'll let it pass) but if you think Mike D plays these guys major minutes because of what they offer defensively you're kidding yourself...
well my moronic mental midget
you failed to recognize the purpose of this thread
it was the idea that we wont get a big man who plays defensive because mike WONT play them
I never said we were a great defensive team, or that mike was a great defensive coach,
read the thread title fool
I said that he will play defensive players
if we get marc gasol or marcus camby or another good shot blocking center
they will play
I just provided evidence that make isnt so cut and dry that if a guy cant shoot he wontplay them
youre talking about their defensive prowess , im talking about if we get defenders we will play them
sad part is we arent deep enough right now to play 48 mins of solid defense, because once 2 or 3 startes come out, we cant score any more, and then things get rattled
dont just respond on your own terms, when the purpose of the thread had nothing to do with whether we were a good defensive team or not
it had to do with whether or not mike will play defensive players
and I proved
he will.
The thing I love the most about our team, is we don't ever seem afraid
^^^ Best post(s) of 2011.
Game Over on this one.
MD's only true flaw is some in-game coaching, meat and potatoes plays following time-outs and stuff. Mediocre. Maybe he gets overly infatuated with his evolutionary "system".
No defense, not liking defensive players, not trusting youth, not giving difficult players chances, etcetc. Pure myth and total bull****; and disproven in his short NYC career alone.
My bad you said we're a "GOOD" defensive team not a "GREAT" defensive team. I guess being one of the worst teams in the league at giving up points is good in your eyes. But I gotta get my eyes cleaned.
Oh the title of your thread is true. If those defensive players can shoot from 15ft or more.
I didnt want to beat you down but I have no choice being that you want to hurl insults. Lets check the facts:
Mike D has never played anyone major minutes that would be considered a defense stopper.
Mike D's teams ALWAYS rank in the bottom of the league in points allowed.
Mike D has NEVER given anyone over 6ft 8 major minutes. Why? The taller you are the less likely it is that you can shoot from distance. THIS IS THE PRIMARY FACT ANNIHILATES your claim.
He never plays a player because of his defense. The title of your thread shows a lack of knowledge for the coach of the team you root for. Defense is a by product of him playing TD. If TD was shooting like Mason right now he'd get NO BURN. If you cant see this you're an idiot. I dont even know why I bothered to reply to this thread. I knew you were a numb skull when I started reading it...
the simple fact is that.. O'antoni lacks a defnsive scheme for the team... ive seen worse defender play good team d...and ive seen good defensive player.. get abused.. becuz the team lack defensive attribute..likr no when to switch.. when not to...when to force a player baselin.. or towards the middle
who gonna cover this angle and that angel..
that he not as good at..
STAT admitted it.. O'antoni doenst preach dfense and lacks skills in comin up with a scheme from game to game
everybody in the league knows that..
his philosiphy is to outscore you.. which he does a good job of...if we are off on the offense.. there is no way we win...
at all
And.. Jared Jeffries also received big minutes and he was 6'11''. I guess either reality means nothing, you don't actually watch the team, or you just "not really up on things". Which is it?
Last edited by ronoranina; Jan 16, 2011 at 14:26.
Ben Wallace is like 6-8 and he has always played center.. becuse he string and can handle bigs... he know how to play defense in the post without creating fouls... aight...
Stat is strong but more of a finese player
guys please use logic...

Reviews of this property
This is a very cozy flat in good condition which we really can recommend! 2 metros close made travelling easy. It is situated close to food stores, marvellous restaurants and cafés, and other stores in general. A great advantage is the washing machine in the kitchen, along with a drying rack. Also, the new appliances in the kitchen as well as a couple of extra plates and glasses when you invite travelling friends over was very thoughtful of the host! Can be good to know beforehand that there is no oven (and the ONLY thing we would have wanted this week was a better knife for cutting meats and vegetables). We forgot to look for the elevator, can be good to know that the flat is 2 narrow stairs up, but this makes the apartment silent, light and very inviting! Wifi worked great the whole week. Gilles was always close if we would have needed anything or just for questions, also in excellent english. I must say we loved it here, it gave us a very positive view of both the host, Paris and Wimdu and we really want to give our very best recommendations.
Our host was very responsive in email correspondence prior to our visit. He welcomed us warmly on arrival and showed us around the apartment. The apartment itself is very practical - kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom. everything in good working order and clean. Fireplace also worked very well.The location of the apartment is absolutely superb - right in the middle of Montmartre and within 5-10 mins walking distance of 3 metro stations. Neighborhood shops include bakery, delicatessen, small supermarket as well as many street cafe's.
The apartment is situated in a lively, well atmospheric environment of Paris. The interior of the apartment is quite "bohemian", lovely, youthful, and technically up-to-date. There was everything clean, and well-equipped.
The landlord is nice, polite, and helpful, who speeks english.
We booked the apartment for a week during October half term to show our 2 boys the sights of Paris. Arriving via Eurostar it was very easy to get too via the Metro, in fact we walked from the apartment to Gard Du Nord when we left.
We met Gilles at the apartment when we arrived and he took us through how to operate everything at the apartment as well as some advice on cafes and boulangerie's in the neighbourhood. The apartment is situated in a quiet street off Rue Abesses and is 5 minutes from 2 Metro stations -Blanche and Abesses. The area itself is very bohemian and has a village feel to it. During the weekends there are a number of market stalls selling fresh produce - fromage, meats & wine, the 2 recent winners of the top Paris Bolugerie are both within a 5 minute walk of the apartment, there are also a number of supermarche's within a 10 minute walk.
Being vegetarian we didn't eat out too often but there are a number of restaurants and cafes in the local area offering a wide range of cuisine. While there is a stove and microwave in the apartment if you don't fancy going out.
We found the apartment very comfortable with plenty of space to relax in, having wifi and a large TV with good cable channels also helped. We would certainly recommend this apartment and area for a taste of Parisian life and a close metro trip to all the main attractions in Paris.
Wir waren für 7 Tage in dieser netten Wohnung. Sie liegt sehr zentral und man ist mitten drin, aber dennoch ruhig. Bus und Metro liegen wenige Schritte entfernt. Genau wie alle Geschäfte zum einkaufen, aber auch alle Sorten von Restaurants. Die Wohnung war sauber und groß für Pariser Verhältnisse. Die Umgebung war schön zu erkunden und es gab immer etwas zu entdecken. Source Couré und Moulin Rouge liegen in lauf weite. Wir haben alles vorgefunden was man so braucht und werden diese Wohnung nicht zum letzten mal gemietet haben.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Die Wohnung ist hell, gross und gut gelegen. Die Beschreibung stimmt. Auch mit den Kindern ist es angenehm und sie fühlten sich wohl.
Da es keinen "richtigen" Esstisch hat, nahmen wir den Balkontisch hinein. Gilles hat uns dies empfohlen. Dieser ist ein bisschen wacklig und mit kleineren Kindern muss vorsichtig umgegangen werden.
Da ich die Beschreibung der Wohnung zu wenig gelesen habe, ist mir entgangen, dass in der Wohnung geraucht werden darf. Da es Vorhänge und Teppiche hat, ist der Rauch für empfindliche Nasen spürbar.
Vi er en familie på 5 der har boet i Gilles lejlighed i en uge i sommerferien.
Gilles var meget venlig, tog imod os og viste os de praktiske ting i lejligheden. Børnene måtte bruge hans computer, så det behøver I ikke slæbe med på turen.
Der er god plads i lejligheden, og en stor terrasse, som vi brugte meget, hvor vi kunne sidde og spise. I køkkenet var der kun lige hvad vi kunne bruge af service, og der kan kun tilberedes mad ved gaskomfuret, da der ingen ovn er i køkkenet.
Standarden er typisk fransk.
Lejligheden ligger på en sidegade, så der var dejlig ro i området, selv om der er masser af liv i nærheden til en og hver smag. Det tager et øjeblik at gå ned til metroen. Fra lejligheden er der kun en lille tur at gå op til Sacré Coeur, hvor vi kunne nyde udsigten af Paris om aftenen.
Vi er meget tilfredse med vores ophold i Gilles lejlighed, og vil varmt anbefale den. Husk at have myggespray med. De franske myg er slemme.
Gilles er altid klar til at hjælpe, hvis der er brug for det. Han kom og tog afsked med os når vi skulle hjem.

Looking for Tea Party leaders
Reaction to Liz Cheney's challenge to Mike Enzi in the Wyoming Republican senatorial primary in 2014 has been interesting. Tea Party Republicans such as Sen. Rand Paul have quickly sided with Enzi, questioning Cheney's residency in the state. Other more grassroots Tea Party leaders have at best taken a "wait-and-see" attitude.
All of this has led pundits to speculate whether or not this means that so-called Tea Partiers have mellowed because of the results of the 2012 elections. But such a judgment may be premature. Like many political movements there is a plurality in the initial group that gradually alters into factions. Libertarians, good government reformers, some members of the Christian right and the usual opportunist make up the coalition loosely known as the Tea Party. It has been from the start a diffuse movement or specifically diffuse movements.
But it has had its impact beginning with the landslide in the 2010 midterms to the continuing advance at the state level. Because of the failure of some of its candidates in Senate races in 2012 largely regarding women's issues, the Tea Party is seen as on the decline. But the follies of Richard Murdock and Todd Akin are not necessarily solid examples for preparing the last rites for the overall movement.
However, the wide diversity and shades of opinions do expose both a weakness and a strength. At its most successful, it resembles H. Ross Perot's brief moment in the sun in 1992. Despite a bizarre campaign which was started and restarted, Perot garnered almost 19 percent of the vote. It was the first social sign that there was discontent with the political status quo. But Perot's reform party in 2000 selected Pat Buchanan and saw its numbers plummet to close to nothing – this is insurgent politics at its weakest.
The Tea Party has a bit of Perot, a touch of Pat Robertson, a smidgen of George Wallace and not a few Steve Forbes admirers plus Ron Paul. Economic populists will wrangle with libertarians and social conservatives. This celebrates liveliness but also betrays weakness. As with the Populist Party of the 1890s, it is a big tent group. Some, as their political needs dictate, begin to sound like old-line Republican conservatives, thus becoming – gasp – politicians.
Part of this is because it has never produced a dominant leader. Ronald Reagan, before 1980, was conceded to be the undisputed leader of the conservative wing of the GOP. That he made it to the presidency was remarkable given that ideological candidates rarely make it. Look at Robert Taft, Barry Goldwater or even Reagan himself in 1968 and 1976. Although he was electable – certainly proving so in the 1980s – party leaders were reluctant to nominate the Californian.
Reagan proved his leadership potential in 1975 when he urged conservatives not to leave the Republican Party. But no such champion has yet to emerge.
Sarah Palin certainly came close, but she lacks Reagan's focus, although she is very good at rallying the faithful. Palin represents the lack of discipline within the movement. In this respect, the Tea Party resembled the new left in resisting the emergence of a leader.
But this is many miles away from being dead. If the GOP establishment reacts too sharply to competition in its primaries based on one set of election returns, it might make mistakes of a different sort. The Tea Party is still a work in progress.

The much-travelled Dave Chisnall was one of the best prop forwards in the game in the 1970s and 1980s and was a great character too. He was brought to Barrow for the 1980/81 season at a time when coach frank Foster was looking for a pack leader. Dave was seen as the man to do that job and Barrow had no hesitation in paying out the not inconsiderable sum of £7,500 to ensure they got their man. It turned out to be money well spent. Barrow were something of a yo-yo side at this period in time – far too good for Division Two but always fighting relegation when in Division One. Prior to Dave's arrival the relegation fights had always ended in failure but with the big man leading Barrow around the park they managed to finish the 1980/81 season in a respectable mid-table position in the top league. There was also the added bonus of reaching a major final (for the first time since 1967) when the side reached the final of the John Player Trophy. Unfortunately Barrow lost that game (ironically against one of Dave's former clubs – Warrington) but the interest generated in the town in the build up to that match was incredible. Dave had played in all but one of Barrow's matches in 1980/81 and his influence on the team cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, he left Barrow (transferring to Warrington) after playing just three first team matches in 1981/82 but will always be remembered by the Craven Park supporters for his massive contribution to the Barrow cause during his time with the club. Throughout his career Dave was regularly ridiculed and cat-called by opposition supporters for his size. He appeared to be overweight and unfit but a brief look at his career and achievements show this to be far from the case. Dave had begun his Rugby League career in the amateur ranks with Parr Labour Club ARLFC and progressed to the professional ranks when he signed for Leigh RLFC in 1967. Eighteen years (and several clubs) later the curtain came down on a fantastic career when he played his final senior match (for Keighley) in 1985. His love affair with professional Rugby League didn't end there though. He moved into the coaching side of the game and enjoyed spells as coach to both the Leigh RLFC and St Helens RLFC Alliance teams before reappearing briefly at senior level as head coach to Runcorn (from June 1989 to October 1990). During his long and illustrious career Dave played well in excess of 500 senior professional matches and amassed somewhere in the region of 80 tries. He was a Lancashire and Great Britain player and toured Australasia with the Great Britain squad in 1970. These statistics set Dave aside as one of the greatest forwards in the history of the game. He probably enjoyed his best days in Rugby League during his two spells with the Warrington club. The following profile is taken from the book "Warrington RLFC – 100 Greats", which was written by Eddie Fuller and Gary Slater:
Dave Chisnall was one of Warrington's greatest entertainers, being a prop-forward with a sense of humour and a flair for the dramatic. During his first spell with the club, 'Chissie' was one of the best props in the business, winning 4 England caps and making 5 appearances for Lancashire. The front row of Chisnall, hooker Kevin Ashcroft and blindside-prop Brian Brady was the foundation for much of the remarkable success achieved by Alex Murphy's team. Billy Benyon brought Chisnall back to Wilderspool in October 1981 for his strength, experience and bare-faced cheek. Against Bradford Northern at Wilderspool in September 1982, for example, Chisnall scored an outrageous try when he twice sold dummies to would-be tacklers on the half-way line before charging clear to touch down at the Railway End. Chisnall had first signed for Warrington more than a decade earlier, in August 1971, when Murphy paid Leigh a club record £8,000 for the 5ft 9in, sixteen stone forward. The following month he was sent off for flattening Peter Walker, the Bradford hooker, and banned for six matches, but he soon settled down to become one of the leading lights in the team. For three seasons, Chisnall hardly missed a match as Warrington won the League Leaders' rose bowl (1972/73), the Captain Morgan Trophy, the Player's No.6 Trophy, the Challenge Cup and the Club Championship (all 1973/74) and reached the BBC2 Floodlit Trophy final and Challenge Cup final again (both in 1974/75). Chisnall was the Warrington captain for the return trip to Wembley but, five months later, he fell out with Murphy and was sold to Swinton for £5,000. Spells with Leigh, St Helens and Barrow followed before he returned to Wilderspool. 'It was an incredible honour for me to captain the side at Wembley,' said Chisnall. 'It was such a huge occasion. I was quite calm after we'd won it the year before but it was terribly disappointing when we lost. Playing at Wilderspool was always special, particularly in the big games. We had a big rivalry with Featherstone and Dewsbury during my first spell with the club and the ground was always packed when they came to play. I enjoyed coming back to play at the ground when I was at other clubs too. The fans always treated me as one of their own and there was a great rapport.'

I know it's more work but is there any chance of putting on here the names of players that have passed on since your book was written. I always intended to make a note myself but never got round to it. I know there are quite a few.

I'm sure no one would have a go keith..I really think it would be nice even if you are reminded about the very few that maybe missed...I would like to see anyone with a better knowledge of barrow than you..
Cheers Mike but Dave Huitson and Steve Andrews know as much (maybe more) than me .
I'll try to get a list together if I can.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 11:27 AM
Keith, what might be an idea is to publish a supplementary book to your 2008 book of who,s who for Barrow Rugby with all the players who have played since and updates on older players. This could be a way of raising funds for the floodlights

Good idea Kev - I considered this and mentioned it to Dave an Steve some time ago. We are all keen to update the book but it would just take too much time and it is doubtful we would get it out in time.
The good news is that I am about 80% through writing a 154 page A4 sized book about all Barrow's cup final appearances and will shortly be looking for subscribers and page sponsors so watch this space in the next few weeks.

- Abstract
- The main problems addressed in this work are the ability of a cermet coating to perform as a fire barrier. Also of importance are the corrosion characteristics and mechanical properties of the cermet when attached to the substrate. The most important property of the coating is in delaying (or preventing) failure of the aluminum substrate. Attention is also paid to simple manufacture of the coatings; to this end, a cermet formulation was developed rather than a duplex or graded coating.

SIMONA DeSILVESTRO ANYONE????
The list of drivers to latch onto the back of Will Power or Tony Kanaan on a road course--and stay within striking distance--is a short one, but that's just what Simona De Silvestro, the 22-year-old native of Thun, Switzerland did today at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
De Silvestro, all smiles and excitement after placing fourth in the 100-lap season opening race for the IZOD IndyCar Series, crossed the finish line less than a half-second behind Kanaan, the 2004 IndyCar Series champion, and ran as high as second early in the event.
Attrition certainly played a part in helping De Silvestro move from her 17th-place starting position to fourth by the end of the two-hour race, but it had nothing to do with her ability to tussle with three of IndyCar's best road racers.
While Franchitti and Power created a bit of separation in at the head of the field, the most heated battle on Sunday took place between Kanaan and De Silvestro as they scrapped for the final spot on the podium.
De Silvestro's attacking style fits perfectly with the best road racers in the IZOD IndyCar Series. (Marshall Pruett)
Both drivers came into the race feeling unsettled, with Kanaan signing to drive for his KV-Lotus Racing team just days before the event, and De Silvestro having to work with a new and unfamiliar race engineer on the eve of her sophomore IndyCar campaign.
The fact that De Silvestro's usual engineer left her team to assume the role as Kanaan's engineer at KV-Lotus only managed to add to the brewing on-track battle at St. Pete.
With the final 15 laps of the race turning into a private duel between Kanaan and De Silvestro, and only after the race was over, the two protagonists revealed just how much they enjoyed the spirited duel.
"It's the first time really competing against each other," said De Silvestro. "You know, it's pretty crazy for me because I've been watching him since I was growing up and to be right there racing him now is pretty cool, you know."
Kanaan, who was unfamiliar with the new green and white color scheme on De Silvestro's car, admitted it took a while before he learned which driver was pushing him to his limits and beyond in the quest for third place.
"[My team] said that it was Simona, and I [then] remembered because she blew my doors off in the restart before. And I knew she was strong. You know, I used everything I could to be able to hold her off."
Becoming a regular contender at the sharp end of the grid is clearly De Silvestro's goal, but for now, and with many celebrating her breakthrough performance at St. Pete, a Tweet late Sunday night from her sparring partner put a nice wrapper on the weekend.
"Great job girl," said Tony Kanaan to his new pal @simdesilvestro. "Next time take it easy on the old guy here. . Nice drive."
Kanaan and De Silvestro step into the ring for Round 2 at Barber Motorsports Park on April 10th.

My baby & I never got the hang of breastfeed (preemie & 2 weeks in NICU), but three times in the last few days she has grasped at my clothes and just popped right on my breast to feed. I had "somewhat" come to terms with terminating pumping next Monday, after her she gets her shots. I had to go back to work and I am really having a tough time scheduling time to pump and feel like I'm missing out on my baby b/c I'm tethered to the pump so much. Plus my husband really wants some sleep at night.
BUT, now that she is showing some interest I'm more hesitant to stop, but what really are the chances that at 7 weeks she'll catch on to BF? And, I really feel bad about not being able to provide BM which I know is best and hate giving up just b/c its hard & not fitting in my schedule.
I don't know if anyone can help, but just needed to get what I'm feeling out there. Both my mom & husband think I should just stop pumping.
Thanks for "listening"

Two of NASA's Great Observatories, the Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes, have teamed up to uncover a mysterious infant star that behaves like a police strobe light.
Every 25.34 days, the object, designated LRLL 54361, unleashes a burst of light. Though a similar phenomenon has been seen in two other young stellar objects, this is the most powerful such beacon seen to date.
The heart of the fireworks is hidden behind a dense disk and envelope of dust. Astronomers propose that the light flashes are caused by periodic interactions between two newly formed stars that are gravitationally bound to each other. The newly discovered object offers insights into the early stages of star formation when a lot of gas and dust is being rapidly accreted to form a new binary star.
Astronomers propose that the flashes are due to material suddenly being dumped onto the growing stars, known as protostars, unleashing a blast of radiation each time the stars get close to each other in their orbit. This is the so-called pulsed-accretion model. The phenomenon has been seen in later stages of star birth but never in such a young system, nor with such intensity and regularity.
"This protostar has large brightness variations with a precise period that is very difficult to explain," said James Muzerolle of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md. His paper appeared in the January 17 issue of the science journal Nature.
LRLL 54361 was discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope as a variable object inside the star-forming region IC 348, located 950 light-years away. The infrared spectrum as measured by Spitzer has the typical signature of a protostar. These stars are estimated to be no more than a few hundred thousand years old, based on statistical analysis.
The Spitzer infrared data, taken repeatedly over a period of seven years, showed unusual outbursts in the brightness of the star. Surprisingly, the outbursts recurred every 25.34 days, a very rare phenomenon. Further analysis of the data led the authors to propose the pulsed-accretion model.
The Hubble Space Telescope was used to confirm the Spitzer observations and revealed the detailed structure around the protostar. Hubble resolved two cavities that are traced by light scattered off their edges above and below a dusty disk. The cavities were likely blown out of the surrounding natal envelope of dust and gas by an outflow launched near the central stars. The envelope and disk prevent the suspected binary star pair from being directly observed. By capturing multiple images over the course of one pulse event, the Hubble observations uncovered a spectacular movement of light away from the center of the system, an optical illusion known as a light echo.
Muzerolle and his team hypothesized that a pair of stars lie in the center of the dust cloud, moving about each other in a very eccentric orbit. As the stars approach each other, dust and gas are dragged from the inner edge of a surrounding disk. The material ultimately crashes onto one or both stars, which triggers a flash of light that then illuminates the circumstellar dust. The system is rare because close binaries account for only a few percent of our galaxy's stellar population. And this is likely a brief, transitory phase in the birth of a star system. "Assuming the pulsed accretion hypothesis is correct, the disk is circumbinary," which means it encircles both stars. "There may be small circumstellar disks around each star, though that is perhaps less likely given the strong pulse signature," said Muzerolle.
Muzerolle's team plans to continue monitoring LRLL 54361 using other facilities including the Herschel Space Telescope, and hopes to eventually obtain more direct measurements of the binary star and its orbit. "This system continues to surprise us, and we can't wait to see what happens next!"

Not that it's bad or anything but ffs MDB, stop making the same songs over and over and over and over again, it's getting tedious :\
Written by Erik M. on 23.11.2013 at 15:55
Even though I love(d) this band I have to agree with you. The songs on here are solid and must seem excellent to people who haven't heard anything (or much) by MDB before but seeing as I listened to pretty much everything they ever released I think this is nowhere near original... hell, I'd even say this is terribly generic. Still doesn't mean it's bad but I hope they at least can be more original in the future. I doubt that will happen though.
Written by InnerSelf on 24.11.2013 at 23:29
That's it. MDBs albums have been with me since 7 or 8 years now and they are amongst the albums I've played the most and up until (and including) A Line of Deathless Kings (which many older fans hate) they were able to come up with new sounds and every album sounded different while maintaining the soul of the band, but then it seems that they ran out of ideas and began regurgitating old stuff resulting in an uninspired, generic and boring couple of LPs (and this EP).

Contract Renewal Agreements—Food Service Management Company Contracts
Contract Duration and Renewals
School food authorities (SFAs) must ensure food service management or vended meals contract language indicates the duration of the contract is no longer than one year. Additionally, options for yearly renewal of a contract must not exceed four additional one-year extensions. Since the decision to renew the contract is an affirmative decision made by both parties to the contract each year, either party, for any reason, may decide not to exercise the renewal option. If the contract is not renewed, the SFA must either conduct a new procurement or self-operate its food service.
Should either party determine revisions to the contract are necessary, non-material changes are generally made when the contract is renewed. These alterations cannot result in substantive changes to the original contract.
The following changes would normally not constitute a substantive change in the contract:
- Number of schools—new schools added;
- Changes in enrollment—decreases and increases in student enrollment and the corresponding change expected in participation;
- Changes in student/adult meal price—meal price changes (determined by the SFA);
- Per meal cost increases—cost increases limited to a measurable index; and/or
- Meal equivalency—minor adjustments to the per meal equivalency as set forth in the contract.
The basis for renewing the contract, including price increase provisions, if any, must be stated in the contract and be based on a measurable index such as the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. School officials should ensure that price increases are within the terms of the contract. You must submit a copy of the executed renewal to our office along with all applicable contract certification forms prior to the approval of your program participation for each fiscal year. Renewals may be mailed to the Illinois State Board of Education, 100 North First Street W-270, Springfield, Illinois 62777, or faxed to the Nutrition and Wellness Programs Division at 217-524-6124.
Contract Amendments
Prior to amending a contract, the SFA must determine if the contract revisions constitute a material or substantive change to the contract. To determine if the change is material or substantive, ask the question, "Would bidders have bid differently if the change had existed at the time of bidding?" If the answer is uncertain, contact the Nutrition and Wellness Programs Division to discuss the proposed change. If the answer is, "Yes", a new procurement must be conducted. If the answer is, "No", it is possible an amendment may be made to the contract.
However, it is important to keep in mind that revisions cannot be made to the existing contract without first submitting the proposed revisions (amendments) to the Nutrition and Wellness Programs Division for review and receiving notification the proposed amendments are allowable within the regulatory guidelines. In addition, all proposed amendments must be accompanied by written justification regarding the SFA's determination that the proposed contract revisions do not constitute a material or substantive contract change.
Contract Re-bidding
School food authorities have the option to re-bid the food service management or vended meal contract at any time. Neither party may make or impose material changes to an existing contract during the contract year or as part of the annual contract renewal process. If it is determined that material or substantive changes are necessary, the SFA must conduct a new procurement and re-bid the contract or may choose to self-operate its food service.
Circumstances which require an SFA to re-bid the contract include:
- Expiration of the existing contract and renewals; and/or
- Addition of a program, such as the School Breakfast Program.
In addition, examples of material or substantive changes which could require the SFA to re-bid the contract include:
- The scope of the contract has substantially changed;
- Major changes to the formula for determining meal equivalency;
- Major shift in responsibilities for SFA/FSMC staff; and/or
- Revision to the fixed-price contract pricing structure and/or terms for price increases becomes necessary.
Finally, the SFA should re-bid the contract if the existing contractor has not fulfilled the contract to the SFA's satisfaction.
School food authorities are required to meet state and local procurement regulations that conform to federal procurement and program regulations when developing the bid solicitation and awarding the contract. Regarding the procurement process, SFAs cannot include contract provisions that restrict competition or prevent companies from bidding on the meal services.
Contract Renewal Agreement Forms
These forms must be used for all contract renewals with a food service management company and may not be altered without permission from the Illinois State Board of Education Nutrition and Wellness Programs Division.
If the contract is $25,000 or more, include a signed copy of the Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility, and Voluntary Exclusion—Lower Tier Covered Transactions.
If the contract is over $100,000, include signed copies of the following certification forms (see above):
- Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility, and Voluntary Exclusion—Lower Tier Covered Transactions
- Certificate Regarding Lobbying—Contracts, Grants, Loans and Cooperative Agreement
- Disclosure of Lobbying Activities (if applicable)
Renewals may be mailed to the Illinois State Board of Education, 100 North First Street W-270, Springfield, Illinois 62777, or faxed to the Nutrition and Wellness Programs Division at 217-524-6124.

- Abstract
- Analysis of the globular cluster (GC) system of the giant elliptical (E3) galaxy NGC 4365, from eight Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) pointings and a wide-field Subaru/SuprimeCam (S-Cam) image, is presented. We determine the lower limit on the number of GCs to be 6450+-110 and show that the GC system extends beyond 134 kpc (9.5 galaxy effective radii). We revisit the question of whether NGC 4365 has a bimodal or trimodal GC colour distribution and find support for three distinct GC colour subpopulations (i.e. blue, green and red). Sersic profile fits to the radial surface density of each subpopulation reveal that the blue GCs are more extended than either red or green GCs. We find significant differences in the median half light radii for GCs in the blue, green and red subpopulations as well as in the subpopulation ellipticities. A KS test on the mass functions show >98 per cent probability that all three subpopulations are distinct from one another. We also find radial gradients of GC size and colour (metallicity) and a blue tilt. The properties, including surface density profile, position angle, ellipticity and radial colour gradient, of the red GC subpopulation are very similar to the properties of NGC 4365's starlight. This result supports the hypothesis that red GCs are formed along with the bulk of the diffuse starlight in the galaxy. NGC 4365 has a kinematically distinct core and a significant misalignment between the photometric and kinematic major axes. We discuss the possibility that these kinematic features are related to the presence of the distinct third GC subpopulation. We briefly discuss implications for the formation of NGC 4365.

Developer to pay $220,000 to settle Wal-Mart appeals
BENNINGTON As part of a settlement to move forward with a new Wal-Mart in Bennington that will be more than twice the size of the current store, the company planning to build the project has agreed to make $220,000 in payments to make local improvements.
In a news release, the Vermont Natural Resources Council announced that the appeals they filed along with a local citizens group, Citizens for a Greater Bennington, have been dropped after reaching a settlement with the applicant, BLS Bennington LC.
The settlement calls for BLS Bennington to pay $200,000 to support the viability of downtown Bennington, according to the news release.
A second payment, of $20,000, would help fund projects that would support the Wallloomsac River watershed.
Brian Shupe, executive director of the Vermont Natural Resources Council, or VNRC, said there had been no decision yet about exactly who would get the money or how it would be spent but he said the first payment would promote business vitality downtown.
Its not determined who that moneys going to go to. Its not going to go the VNRC or the citizens group but VNRC and the citizens group will need to determine how that money is spent. It could go to a nonprofit, it could go to set up a streetscape enhancement program. We still need to figure out who that is, he said.
Shupe said the VNRC would likely consult with the Better Bennington Corp., an agency dedicated to serving the downtown.
Plans submitted by the developer, BLS Bennington, call for the demolition of the existing 51,000 square-foot Wal-Mart at the Monument Shopping Plaza on Northside Drive and the construction of a 112,000 square-foot Wal-Mart super-store with a full line of grocery products.
Some, including members of the citizens group, have raised concerns about how the new store would affect the merchants who operate in Benningtons downtown.
Shupe said the exact use of the $20,000 had not been determined yet either but said the decision, like the one involving the larger payment, would also be made in consultation with Bennington residents.
Officials at the VNRC are likely to look for a local conservation or watershed group to help determine how the money can best be spent, he said.
We didnt have the time yet to pick a project or work out all the details, he said.
The VNRC filed a stipulation of dismissal to the Vermont Environmental Court on Feb. 13 in the case. On Feb. 20, the court accepted the request.
With the appeals dismissed, local permits granted by the town of Bennington a little more than seven years ago are now filed. However, the appeal of the Act 250 permit, issued by the state in 2011, is still pending because of a second appeal filed by the owners of the Mount Anthony Country Club. The clubs owners have also appealed a state-issued storm water permit.
According to Shupe, the case has also set an important precedent because the Vermont Environmental Court overturned a decision by the local Act 250 commission which prevented the VNRC and the citizens group from having party status in the case.
I cant emphasize enough the extent to which the citizens were wronged by the (Act 250) district commission and how significant the court decision reversing that decision was. It really reversed not just that one decision but what had become a trend in Act 250 (proceedings that was) whittling away citizens rights. he said.
Alan George, a Rutland attorney who represents the applicant locally, could not be reached on Tuesday but in February, he said he couldnt speculate on when the project might start until the outstanding appeal is resolved.

When seven members of the Mock Trial team advanced to compete in the American Mock Trial Association national tournament in March, they didn't know they'd be facing the top teams in the entire country, trying cases against the Universities of Minnesota, Michigan, Chicago and Notre Dame. The team finished the tournament with a 3-5 record.
Co-captain Brett Buckley '10 was named the Outstanding Attorney in all trials by each judge. Looking back, Buckley says, "Our 3-5 finish definitely does not reflect the way our weekend went. We went into our last trial against Michigan with a chance to finish strong." Other team members included Alyssa Figueroa '11, Colin McGowan '10, Matt Grennell '10, Alyssa Rabulinski '11, Jessica Branch '11 and Tanvi Potdukhe '12.
Stephen Caliendo, professor of political science, was named Outstanding Coach at the Loras University invitational tournament in January. Mary Constantino, an assistant state's attorney for DuPage County, has also coached the team over the past three years.

PAVILLION, WY — For years, the gas drilling industry has been adamant that there's never been an incident in which it was proved that hydraulic fracturing has caused contamination in ground water. Perhaps that is why the drilling industry and its supporters have pushed back so forcefully against a draft report from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), released on December 8, which links fracking and groundwater contamination in Pavillion, WY.
Wyoming governor Matt Mead issued a press release saying, "The study released today from EPA was based on data from two test wells drilled in 2010 and tested once that year and once in April, 2011. Those test wells are deeper than drinking wells. The data from the test wells was not available to the rest of
the working group until a month ago."
He continued, "We believe that the draft study could have a critical impact on the energy industry and on the country, so it is imperative that we not make conclusions based on only four data points… it would not be appropriate to make a judgment without verifying all of the testing that has been done."
Encana Oil & Gas USA Inc. was particularly critical, noting that the report did not show contamination of drinking wells but of deeper monitoring wells. The company said, "Many of the EPA's findings from its recent deep monitoring wells, including those related to any potential connection between hydraulic fracturing and Pavillion groundwater quality, are conjecture, not factual and only serve to trigger undue alarm."
On the other side of the issue, Briana Mordick, a science fellow at the National Resources Defense Council, summed up two important conclusions: "Groundwater near Pavillion, WY has been contaminated by chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing and those chemicals most likely reached groundwater through subsurface pathways."
She continued, "The report is still in draft form and will undergo peer review and public comment before being finalized… If EPA's conclusions are confirmed through this process, there can no longer be a question as to the serious threat that hydraulic fracturing can pose to our drinking water. As EPA stated, 'Ground water contamination with constituents such as those found at Pavillion is typically infeasible or too expensive to remediate or restore.'"
Congressman Maurice Hinchey used the report's release as a chance to reassert his long-held position that fracking should not be exempt from national environmental laws. He wrote, "Despite the facts, the shale gas industry has continually asserted that fracking has never caused groundwater contamination. The report from the EPA answers that false rhetoric with real facts. As scores of citizens from Dimock, PA to Pavillion, WY can attest, hydraulic fracturing poses a serious and direct threat to drinking water and should not hold a special exemption from our nation's basic environmental laws like the Safe Drinking Water Act."

Cub Scouting is an active program—boys learn by doing, and there's no end to the fun things that Cub Scouts do in their dens, as a pack, and at special events. As a leader, you should be aware of the wide array of activities that can be included in the Cub Scout program, and do your best to include as many of them as possible in your annual schedule.
Den MeetingsA den is a group of six to eight boys that meets several times a month between pack meetings. The den structure allows boys to build relationships with leaders and other boys.
Pack MeetingsThe monthly pack meeting brings together boys from every den, their leaders, and their families, to participate in a large-scale event that serves as a showcase for all that the boys have learned and done in their individual den meetings.
Cub Scout CampingOrganized camping is a creative, educational experience in cooperative group living in the outdoors. It uses the natural surroundings to contribute significantly to physical, mental, spiritual, and social growth.
Cub Scout Outdoor Program HighlightsThis section in the annual Cub Scouting Highlights provides an overview of outdoor program opportunities for Cub Scouts.
Leave No Trace Frontcountry GuidelinesLeave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and helps them protect it for future generations. This plan applies in a backyard or local park as much as it does in the wilderness.
Excursions and Field TripsCub Scouts enjoy many outdoor experiences as they participate in the variety of activities that can be held outside, such as field trips, hikes, nature and conservation experiences, and outdoor games.
Blue and Gold BanquetsDuring the month of Scouting's anniversary, packs across the country hold blue and gold banquets. In nearly all packs, the banquet is a highlight of the program year.
Cub Scout DerbiesCub Scout derbies—the pinewood derby, raingutter regatta, and space derby—teach Cub Scouts craft skills, the rules of fair play, and good sportsmanship.
Service ProjectsParticipating in service projects as a group is one of the ways in which boys in Cub Scouting fulfill their promise "to help other people."
District and Council ActivitiesYour local council or district office may schedule activities in which all the packs in your area are invited to participate.
Age-Appropriate Guidelines for Scouting ActivitiesThese program-specific criteria are designed to assist unit leaders in determining what activities are age-appropriate for their participants.
Nationally Approved Historic TrailsSearch our online listings of more than 300 trails have been approved for Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, Venturers, and family campers.
Jamboree on the Air (JOTA)Cub Scout Dens may participate in Jamboree-on-the-Air, an annual Scouting and amateur radio event that creates contact among Scouts from around the nation, and around the world.
Guide to Safe ScoutingUse the Guide to Safe Scouting to help you plan and conduct Scouting activities in a safe and prudent manner.

Ed agency seeks bullying prevention fundsBy JOSH OGORMAN
Vermont Press Bureau | February 06,2014MONTPELIER The Agency of Education is looking for money to support its efforts to prevent bullying in public schools.
The agency is seeking a $120,000 appropriation to develop a program to train school staff in responding to bullying, as well as to create a statewide data collection system to analyze surveys on school climate and learn which bullying prevention programs are working.
The House Appropriations Committee referred the proposal which would cost about $1.50 per Vermont student to the House Education Committee.
Tracey Tsugawa, chairwoman of the agencys Hazing, Harassment and Bullying Advisory Council, made her case Wednesday afternoon to legislators.
I get calls on a weekly basis where school staff wants someone to come and do training on bullying and harassment, Tsugawa told the Education Committee. Teachers are not taught intervention skills during their teacher training. You need to address the climate in the schools. It doesnt matter what the curriculum is if students dont feel safe at school.
The appropriation would create a program wherein trainers from the Education Agency would work with representatives from supervisory unions or school districts, who would then train the teachers and staff at the schools.
Democratic Rep. Barbara Rachelson, of Burlington, suggested the training program should be used not just for schools but for private pre-kindergarten programs, recreation teams and other youth programs.
Since kids are not just in school, wed like them to benefit from this, Rachelson said.
The data collection and analysis component of the plan is crucial, first and foremost because there is no statewide data on trends in bullying and harassment, Tsugawa said.
We have some national studies and we can extrapolate from them, but Vermont is such a diverse state in terms of the sizes of schools, from the very small and rural to the suburban, she said.
Rep. Valerie Stuart, a Democrat from Brattleboro, suggested there are other ways to address bullying, such as schoolwide assemblies, newsletters and parent-teacher organizations.
There are a lot of steps that we can take that dont cost money, Stuart said. Data is great, but we need a fast, effective solution that wont cost a lot of money.
Tsugawa said the effectiveness of an anti-bullying program can be evaluated only over time; she drew a comparison to the Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which is administered to the states students every two years.
Playing as she called it the devils advocate, committee Chairwoman Johannah Leddy Donovan, a Democrat from Burlington, brought up the lessons taught in Robert Fulghums All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, which address the notions of sharing and not hitting each other.
What else do they need to know? Donovan asked.
By the fifth grade, those teachings in kindergarten have gone out the window, Tsugawa said, while Ken Page, executive director of the Vermont Principals Association, noted Fulghums book does not address more modern problems being faced by todays students, such as cyberbullying.
Republican Rep. Bernard Juskiewicz, of Cambridge, described the training as crucial.
If we can save one persons life, it will be money well spent, Juskiewicz said.
The committee took no vote to make a recommendation, positive or negative, to the Appropriations Committee. Donovan said her panel might hear additional testimony on the subject.

Grand opening ceremonies were held Wednesday for the latest Whole Foods Market in Hawaii.
The store is the third in the state and adds to ever-changing face of Kailua.
Shoppers wasted no time getting a taste of the latest Whole Foods Market in Hawaii.
"I'm very excited. We feel like civilization has arrived to Kailua," said Lanikai resident April Manson.
With more than 33,000 square feet of retail space, it's the largest Whole Foods in the state.
It's the only Whole Foods store in Hawaii with a poke bar, wine and beer bar; shave ice along with it's usual assortment of all natural, organic foods, with an emphasis on local products.
"Every Whole Foods Market is unique and is designed to reflect the personality of its specific location," said Dabney Gough, Whole Foods marketing supervisor. "So when you look around the store, you'll see a number of elements that, hopefully, really will feel like Kailua."
Kaneohe Ranch said it took three years to build the Whole Foods in Kailua, and it's been relatively well-received by the community, compared with other projects in the area.
Construction has begun on the condominium project called "Ironwoods at Kailua."
Tenants of the previous affordable housing complex were forced to leave when the lease on the property expired. The buildings were demolished in 2007.
And work has yet to start on Target at the former Don Quijote property.
Landowner Kaneohe Ranch said it decided to reinvest in aging buildings on its properties as the 50-year leases expired.
"We probably invested in excess of $40 million in building or renovating buildings. So it was inevitable. We could let the buildings decay or we could have reinvested in them," said Kimo Steinwascher, Kaneohe Ranch Exec. vice president and chief operating officer.
And it seems Kailua residents, although not be wholly supportive of the changes in Kailua, say you can't stop progress.
"Too many of the big ones I think would not be great, but this kind of caters to the population, I think, makes up Kauai," said Brian Mace, a Kailua resident.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

This is a good combination supplement for athletes and very active people, as well as those who are trying to lose/maintain weight. Before using any supplement that may affect your chemistry and hormones, you should consider speaking with a qualified health professional and have your labs checked. Having a baseline is good to see if the supplements you are taking work. I use this product in the AM about 1 hour before training/working out, and then within 30 min post-workout. I also cycle this in to my bedtime routine, taking it within 30 min of bedtime along with chelated magnesium and zinc. I also highly recommend the Jarrow Creatine-Surge product for post training sessions.
I've used this for years, especially when I start exercising and working harder. It is an excellent over-all tonic and especially helps with exercise recovery; no shakiness, weakness, or crankiness after exercise sessions, recovery is faster and I don't have the muscle soreness I would normally have.

If you believe in tribulus, this is cheap and potent
Interesting product
Posted by Reviewer2567957 on Mar 09, 2012
I purchased this product for improving testosterone levels (39 yr old woman with adrenal, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid - all low). A naturopath suggested tribulus in a very small amount along with other hormone balancing supplements. I chose this because of good reviews and interesting blend of adaptogens and amount of Tribulus, and the price! First day - took 1 tablet at 1 pm, felt drowsy in an hour and got up at 8 feeling depressed, ended up crying for no reason. Second day - avoided Third day, thats yesterday (and am rushing to write this review) - took 1 tablet at night before sleep. Horrible dream of a plane crash along with earthquake on Mt Rainier(!!!) yet with a happy ending of some one rescueing us somewhere in India (my birthplace). Got up shaking. philosophical outcome - felt a sudden realization of priorities I needed to focus on, which was kind of a good lesson. Supplement Decision - not going to go through this nightmare again. I have been insomniac for a decade, so I am not giving up on my peaceful sleep (thanks to theanine serene with Mg). Thank you! This review is negative, however it might help someone understand if things go weird.
Fair Enough

Good product.
not much effect
Posted by Reviewer1621299 on Jul 26, 2011
I was taking the NOW Tribulus 500 mg in caps, but changed because of the extra carbo-esque additives, even though it worked quite well. This one is far inferior in terms of effects. They are tabs and not sure if they are dissolving or not. Still searching...
Great pick me up!

This really gets that internal temperature up and burns those calories. This product does not get your heart rate all jacked up and goofy like many other weight-loss products on the market.

Earlham students in good standing with the College are eligible to apply.
Students who are on a Medical Leave of Absence from the College and who are interested in an off-campus study program should have a healthy and academically successful semester after the MLOA and prior to application and/or approval for off-campus study.
The application for an Earlham-approved Program is a combined package: the Program-specific application and an Earlham application. Both applications are available in the International Programs Office. All application materials should be submitted to the International Programs Office. Students may only apply for one Earlham-approved program at a time.
Applications are due in the International Programs Office by 5:00 on the application deadline. Deadlines are posted in IPO, in Around the Heart, and on the IPO website.
Each of the Earlham-approved Programs has its own set of criteria for the selection process. This may include a grade point average requirement, a language requirement, or particular course requirements. Students must meet all requirements.
Earlham criteria for selection include the following:
A selection committee composed typically of the Earlham faculty representative, past Program participants, and a representative from IPO reviews the application materials. An interview is also an important component of the process.
The International Programs Office may consult with the relevant college personnel for advice concerning, but not limited to, recent and serious medical or emotional problems, recent and serious violations of acceptable community behavior such as alcohol or drug abuse, threats of physical harm, damage or destruction of property, or sexual assault.
The Director of the Earlham-approved Program informs the students of the results of the selection process. IPO forwards selected applicant materials to the individual Program Director. Students will hear directly from the Program Director of acceptance.
Each Program has its own conditions of acceptance. There is usually no appeal for non-acceptance.
Each Earlham-approved Program has its own deposit amount. Students pay the deposit directly to the Program.
Individual Programs establish fees every year. In addition to Program costs, Earlham charges an administrative fee of $200.00 per semester or $350.00 for academic year. The administrative fees are non-refundable after acceptance. The Earlham Accounting Office bills students for the Program costs and administrative fees. These payments should be made directly to Earlham College. Students will be billed on the regular Earlham billing cycle. Earlham forwards payments to the individual Programs.
Each Program has its own withdrawal policies.
