Student Loans Review
Why Apply for Student Loans Online?
The top lenders in our review are SoFi, the Gold Award winner; Citizens Bank, the Silver Award winner; and Wells Fargo, the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a lender to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our rankings.
Private student loans are meant to supplement federal loans and help pay for living expenses, tuition and books. These loans bridge the gap between what you receive from the government and what you actually need to go to school. But private student loans are best used when you've exhausted other forms of financial aid, such as grants, scholarships and work-study options
The best private student loans offer low APRs and fair repayment terms as well as tools to help students calculate their payments. Some offer career counseling and unemployment protection. Many of the student loan companies we reviewed also offer student loan consolidation. If you've already graduated and have many student loans, you may be interested in student loan refinancing. You can also find useful information in our articles about student loans.
How to Pay for College
College costs continue to rise, and they extend beyond tuition to include paying for textbooks; other supplies, such as laptops or tablets; room and board; and other living expenses. There are many types of financial aid available for students.
Scholarships & Grants
These aren't loans, so there's no interest and you won't have to pay them back. Grants are need based, and scholarships are usually merit based. In order to be considered for grants and other forms of financial aid, you need to fill out the FAFSA, which determines if you meet the need-based criteria to receive such funding. Scholarships are awarded by a variety of organizations, including the institutions themselves as well as nonprofits, corporations, labor unions and religious organizations.
Federal Student Loans
These are the most common type of student loans and are provided by the federal government in either subsidized or unsubsidized forms. With a subsidized loan, the interest is paid by government as long as you are attending school at least part-time. Payments on federal student loans are usually deferred until a student stops attending school full time. Federal student loans usually have fixed interest rates and don't require credit checks when you apply. The application for these loans is the same as for grants, the FAFSA.
Private Student Loans
These are sometimes called alternative student loan and are provided by a variety of sources, including banks, credit unions, and peer-to-peer lenders. The application process for these loans is considerably different than federal loans. Credit scores, employment history and income are all factors that are considered, and you may need a co-signer to be approved for one of these loans.
In general, a private student loan can have higher APRs than federal student loans. Private student loans are unsubsidized, so interest accrues while the student attends school. While other types of college financing are capped at the cost of admission, you can borrow larger amounts from private lenders. Private student loans typically do not have deferred payments, and you may be required to make small payments on them while you are in school.
Parent Loans
Parent loans are a relatively new type of student loan. These are made to the parents and not the students, and it is the parents who are responsible for repayment. These loans are unsubsidized and repayment usually begins shortly after the funds are dispersed. Parent loans are available through the federal government as well as through private organizations, such as Citizens Bank.
Consolidating & Refinancing Your Loans
Many private student loan companies also offer loan consolidation, which they sometimes confusingly call loan refinancing. With student loan consolidation your federal and private student loans are paid off by the lender and combined into a single loan with different rates and terms. With refinancing you renegotiate with the lender to get a longer term or different rates.
Consolidation usually encompasses refinancing, since your loan will have a new term and new rates.
Consolidation can be a good option if you have a solid job that may afford you the opportunity to accept larger payments, if you have multiple student loans and want the convenience of having one payment or if you want to release a co-signer. There are some downsides to consolidation. You can lose any perks from your current lender and may end up paying more total in interest throughout the life of the loan. SoFi, Citizens Bank, Wells Fargo and iHelp all offer student loan consolidation options.
Student Loans: What We Evaluated & What We Found
To assess these private student loan companies, we considered the types of loans offered, terms, repayment options, and quality of help and support. The categories were combined into the proprietary scores listed above that reflect the strength of a particular lender's offerings. It's important to know that while a lender with a 100 percent score on its loan terms may advertise good rates, but the rates you receive can depend on a variety of factors such as your personal credit score.
Loan Types
Loans are available for both undergraduate and graduate studies. These loans can have different limits, though many of the private student loan companies in our review only cover the cost of attendance, which can vary depending on the institutions you choose to attend. Several of the lenders also offer debt consolidation as an options.
Loan Terms
When reviewing lenders, we looked at the high and low ranges for both fixed- and variable-rate student loans. The rates a lender lists on its website may not be the same as the rates you receive because they are based on a variety of factors. Many lenders also have calculators on their websites to help you estimate your payments.
Loan Repayment
The loan repayment score represents a variety of factors, including the loan's repayment terms as well as any rate reductions offered for setting up automatic payments. Many of the private student loans we reviewed also offer a grace period during which you won't be required to make payments.
Several of the lenders also have rate-reduction offers for having good grades or meeting other criteria. When applying, you may want to inquire about any of these offers. Unemployment protections can help you if you lose your job – a lender who offers this won't require payments on your loan for up to a year if you find yourself unemployed.
Help & Support
Our reviewers also looked at the options available for contacting the lender if you have problems. Phone, email and live chat were considered, since multiple options can help you resolve any problems quickly. We also looked to see if the lender offered any kind of career support or coaching.
Our Verdict & Recommendations
While SoFi, Citizens Bank and Wells Fargo received high rankings because they scored well in repayment and loan limit scores, they also offer quality features, such as unemployment protections and career support.
Sallie Mae, one of the most popular names in the college student loan industry, also scored very well in terms of loan limits and repayment options. Additionally, SunTrust and PCN stand out for offering rate reductions when signing up for automatic payments.
When taking on any type of debt, it is important to get all of the information, understand the terms of your loan and meticulously study the terms of service associated with your loan. Look for companies that offer the best rates based on your credit worthiness and that support your choice for a repayment plan.

It is well documented that Canadian consumers pay more than their American counterparts for identical goods. Statistics Canada estimates for 2011 revealed that Canadian prices were about 25 percent more than U.S. prices for many goods. More recent private sector estimates suggest that price differences remain high.
The causes of the price gap are complex and varied. In 2011, the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance studied the issue. The Committee's 2013 report identified a number of contributors, including the practice of country pricing, the volatility of the exchange rate, the price of fuel, customs tariffs and product safety standards.
A recent study published by the American Economic Review, which reviewed 4,000 separate products, in both Canada and the United States, concluded that distributors or wholesalers are engaging in country pricing strategies.
The Price Transparency Act introduced today will help tackle geographic price discrimination. The bill will amend the Competition Act to empower the Commissioner of Competition to use formal investigative powers to expose cross-border price discrimination that is not justified by higher costs in Canada. The changes will authorize the Commissioner to seek court orders to compel the production of confidential evidence relevant to differential pricing between Canada and the U.S. The Commissioner will be empowered, for the purposes of such inquiries, to seek court orders to compel witnesses for examination, the production of records and written returns of information.
Following an inquiry, the Commissioner will issue a report on the findings. The reports will identify the causes of the price discrepancy, exposing any price discrimination.
The bill will also enhance the Commissioner's investigative powers through amendments to section 11 of the Competition Act. These changes will help ensure Canadians are not charged higher prices than Americans simply because of where they live.
Economic Action Plan 2013 took action on tariffs, providing $79 million in annual tariff relief through the elimination of tariffs on baby clothing and certain athletic equipment. Economic Action Plan 2014 announced a plan to take action to address another identified cause of the price gap: geographic price discrimination.

Team preview: South Carolina State
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2004-05 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
While there was some trepidation about South Carolina State's basketball future after former coach Cy Alexander departed before last season with five MEAC championships on his resume, turns out the Bulldogs were sure-fire Betts to continue their run among the league's top teams.
Seven-year South Carolina State assistant Ben Betts was an immediate and popular choice to take over the program and he was also an instant success, leading the team to the regular season league title and racking up 18 victories. Only an uncharacteristically horrid shooting night from long range (0-for-24 on three-point attempts) against Florida A&M in the MEAC semifinals could derail the squad.
Betts took some basic principles from Alexander, but diversified the offense, extended his defense and played more man-to-man. The results were the MEAC's second highest scoring unit (69.1 ppg) and the second best defense, allowing just 65.1 points per game.
Ironically, the Bulldogs, who shot just 29.8 percent against the eventual champion Rattlers in the tournament, led the league in field-goal percentage, hitting 45 percent on the season. All in all, it was a bitter end to a sweet season.
"We've very excited about this season," Betts said. "We're still disappointed about how we finished, but the guys realize we've still got a lot of work to get done and we're going to have to stay hungry."

Review: (oh my god I am so) THIRST(y)
Fri Oct 29 2010
Incubator Arts Project at St. Mark's Church (see Off-Off Broadway). Based on Eugene O'Neill's Thirst. Dir. Michael Levinton. 1hr. No intermission.
As you walk into the Incubator Arts Project to see the avant-downtown company Little Lord's larky deconstruction of Eugene O'Neill's Thirst, be sure to stop by the bar. Wandering techies from the show will be happy to serve you a beer, and you ought to take them up on it. I saw (oh my god I am so) THIRST(y) sober, and I truly, truly do not mean to be cruel when I say: Sober was a mistake. Michael Levinton's cheap-and-cheerful show, one in which postmodern high jinks and visual puns run riot, benefits from a sense of convivial relaxation. The frothy thing won't sustain the unintoxicated imagination—the deliberately hokey aesthetic often slips into simple amateurishness. But if you can let your hair down for the scant hour-long running time, there are compensations.
In its original, undoctored form, O'Neill's 1913 one-act already sounds like an expressionist provocation: On a drifting raft, three survivors of a Titanic-esque tragedy go abruptly mad under a blazing sun. A dapper fellow in evening wear, a bespangled dancer and a West Indian sailor (played first by O'Neill himself—in blackface) drift along, sweltering, until finally the dancer snaps, the sailor pulls a knife, and all three go ass-over-teakettle into the shark-infested waters. Levinton physicalizes O'Neill's stage directions, so the "sun" is a woman in glittering gold lam and the "sharks"—two thugs dressed in white—play a sinister game of pool. (Get it?) Levinton, busily chucking in experimental gambits, makes some feeble gestures toward racial recontextualization, but his best idea is having several different actors play the dancer. This neat little (re)casting coup introduces Von Hottie (pictured above) onto the raft—and saves the show. That woman is like a puff of fresh air into a deflating inner tube; she has genuine, dangerous anarchy in her eyes, and yet you find yourself wistfully contemplating the possibility of getting lost at sea with her.

By Krista Ramsey and Cliff Peale, USA TODAY
CINCINNATI If 18-year-old Demarcus Jones doesn't get up promptly for his 10 a.m. math class at the University of Cincinnati, he'll first get a text message from Judy Mause.
Then she'll arrive in person, banging on his dormitory door.
Mause calls it "intrusive advising."
Jones is one of 24 freshmen living in Gen-1 House, an off-campus residence for low-income, first-generation college students. Mause, the program's coordinator, will do everything from wake-up calls to checking in with professors to make sure Gen-1 students keep their grades up and fit into campus life.
If left to the odds, only three of the 24 Gen-1 House freshmen would graduate.
Roughly 30% of entering freshmen in the USA are first-generation college students, and 24% — 4.5 million — are both first-gens and low income. Nationally, 89% of low-income first-gens leave college within six years without a degree. More than a quarter leave after their first year — four times the dropout rate of higher-income second-generation students.
They're driven out by a host of factors, from financial need to little understanding of what to expect of college. Many struggle with the feeling that they don't belong on campus.
University of Cincinnati president Greg Williams, himself a first-generation college graduate (from Ball State University in Muncie, Ind.), calls Gen-1 House "a program that really resonates with me in so many ways. First-generation students are four times more likely to drop out. This is a national crisis."
Pledging to do their very best
Colleges are trying a variety of programs to hold onto first-gens.
At Fresno State University in California, faculty and staff who were first-generation college graduates share their own stories with students. Bay Path College in Longmeadow, Mass., reaches out to parents of first-gens to enlist their support.
But only the University of Cincinnati has housing exclusively for first-gens, a program that is drawing national attention. All 24 students who moved into Gen-1 House in September 2009, and 11 of the 14 in 2008 when it opened, still are in college.
"My initial thought is that it's the best of all possibilities for first-generation students, particularly having that transition supported into the first year in college," says Chandra Taylor Smith, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education, which advocates for low-income, first-gen and disabled college students.
Gen-1 House students get more support and attention than typical freshmen, and a lot more structure.
To be in the program, the students must sign a contract agreeing to an 11:30 curfew on weeknights and 1:30 a.m. on weekends. They must observe daily "quiet hours" in which "no noise may be heard from another room, the hallway or any common area."
They must maintain a 2.25 GPA and agree to no alcohol, drugs, no going home the first five weeks on campus or working at a job more than 20 hours a week.
"We have a very structured environment," says Gen-1 House resident Josh Giles, a freshman. "I think a lot of outside distractions hurt many students."
Like his housemates, Giles is willing to trade personal freedoms for the support that comes with Gen-1 House — tutoring, mentoring, a special study-skills class, and especially the close relationships among residents and staff.
Hanging out, hunkering down
On one hand, the students are like their peers. Evenings, they hang out around a large-screen TV in a first-floor living area, and they enjoy the nights Mause brings in lasagna.
But they are a sober and thoughtful group, aware of the unique opportunity they've been given and determined not to waste it.
"We had a choice to be here or to be in another dorm," says resident Tracy Steagall, who worked in car washes and at Wal-Mart to get to college. "We didn't have to do this."
Though many have their tuition paid by grants and the university pays for their meal plan, most Gen-1 students work part-time jobs or borrow for the $6,300 annual housing costs. The program also gets donations — last week a Cincinnati businessman contributed $165,000, by far its biggest private donation yet.
The students say they feel pressure from being their families' trailblazers but find empathy and support in one another.
"We all need to stick together," says resident Robert Golsby. "For the third-generation student, they know what college is. For the first-generation students, we're slowly putting all the pieces together."

For venue information, please review the "Recital Venue" tab in the "Room Reservations and Rentals" section below.
The Music Office will format all recital programs as long as the program information is submitted at least 3 weeks out from the recital date. Students may elect to format their own program using the program template provided below.
Students must format any program information submitted less than 3 weeks out from the recital date by using the Student Recital Template found below.
To submit program information to the Music Office, please click on the Submit Recital Program Info link below that is relevant to your performance area. This link will take you directly to the form where you can input your information.
A formatted copy of the program will be given to your advisor to review with you and make any corrections. Accuracy is the responsibility of the student and the advisor. Corrections must be submitted at least 1 week prior to the recital. There will not be any reprints after the approval to print has been given.

The Vault is normally open from 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. We cannot guarantee that we will actually be available during the hours posted because our duties frequently require that we be in another part of the building, somewhere else on campus, or away from campus. If we are not there when you come by, keep trying.
Lockers are available for rental in a variety of sizes by following these instructions:
The locker can be renewed on the same contract for sequential semesters, but a new contract must be signed for each school year.
At the end of each semester, any lockers that have not been renewed are either emptied of their contents (those contents are stored in the Vault to be picked up by the person who signed the locker contract) or the lock will be changed until the fee is paid for the new semester.
Instruments can be rented through the Vault for use by UNC students enrolled in music courses for classes and performances presented by the CPVA. Here is the procedure:
For those enrolled in Methods Classes (strings, woodwinds, or brass), the single $25 fee will transfer from one instrument to the next as you change instruments through the semester; however, a separate contract and fee is required for each Methods class taken.
Rented instruments must be returned to the Vault by Wednesday of Finals Week each semester. A late fee of $5 per day will be assessed and charged to your student account for each calendar day after the due date. A Contract Extension may be requested if you need the instrument for a Final Exam on Thursday or Friday of Finals Week or if you need the instrument to play at the Commencement ceremony. Contracts will not be extended beyond the Monday following Finals Week and late fees will be assessed. If an instrument is not returned to the Vault within 30 days of its due date, the student will be charged the full replacement cost of the instrument as stated in the contract.
Rooms in Frasier Hall and Foundation Hall may be requested for student use by completing an online request form. Requests are processed in the order they are received, usually on the following business day.

The Jolie-Pitts are Pissed at E!
It seems that Brad Pitt is not happy that a producer and cameraman from E! wandered onto his property last week.
"Yes, we have filed trespassing charges against E! and are exploring our legal options against both the crew that actually trespassed and the network itself," Brad Pitt's rep tells PEOPLE.
The cable network, meanwhile, is denying any intentional wrongdoing. "E! Networks is investigating allegations that a producer and cameraman who were filming locations for a program about Brad Pitt went onto property last week that is reportedly owned by Mr. Pitt," according to a statement from the cable channel.
"E! Networks did not instruct or authorize anyone working on its program to improperly intrude onto private property, and the individuals involved have been terminated. While neither Mr. Pitt nor his family were at the property when the incident took place, the network in no way condones or encourages such behavior and would like to offer its most sincere apologies to Mr. Pitt and his family."
Don't mess with the Pitts people. They like people to keep their distance.

S&P Upgrades Wachovia to Buy
Wachovia (WB ): Upgrades to 5 STARS (buy) from 4 STARS (accumulate)
Analyst: Evan Momios
Expectations, including S&P's, of accelerated economic growth in the second half and of a sufficiently steep yield curve creates a more favorable environment than in recent quarters for large regional banks. With a diversified revenue mix, improving asset quality, and a wide distribution network, S&P thinks Wachovia is well-positioned to accelerate earnings growth in the quarters ahead. S&P's 12-month target price of $49 is mainly based on the assumption of 11% earnings growth for the next five years, and is at the mid-point of S&P's discounted dividend and terminal p-e valuations.
JetBlue (JBLU ): Downgrades to 4 STARS (accumulate) from 5 STARS (buy)
Analyst: James Corridore
Discount carrier JetBlue's shares are now within 15% of S&P's $60 12-month target price. While S&P believes they will outperform the market, the amount of potential appreciation no longer warrants S&P's highest recommendation. Volatility in airline stocks also argues for more caution, given the proximity to S&P's target price. S&P still believes JetBlue will be able to grow its earnings by 35% annually for the next five years. Shares are currently trading at 31 times S&P's 2004 earnings per share estimate of $1.70; S&P thinks the shares should get a p-e of 35, which equates the stock price to JetBlue's growth potential and gives S&P a $60 target.
Rare Hospitality (RARE ): Downgrades to 3 STARS (hold) from 4 STARS (accumulate)
Analyst: Dennis Milton
Shares of this restaurant operator, whose holdings include Bugaboo Creek Steak House and LongHorn Steakhouse, have soared nearly 75% from an October 2002 low. The stock now trades at 21 times S&P's 2003 earnings per share estimate of $1.76, a significant premium to peers. S&P believes the current valuation adequately reflects the company's strong expansion growth prospects and debt-free balance sheet. S&P's 12-month target price of $41 reflects a forward p-e ratio of 21, in line with the current S&P SmallCap 600 Index, and S&P's 2004 earnings per share estimate of $1.96. At the current valuation, S&P would not add shares, but would continue to hold existing positions.
CDW Corp. (CDWC ): Upgrades to 4 STARS (accumulate) from 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Amrit Tewary
S&P sees greater likelihood of a strong sales pickup in 2004 for computer retailer CDW's corporate segment, based on S&P's belief that an improved economy should encourage small/medium business customers to raise their information-technology spending budgets to more normal levels. Also, S&P sees CDW benefiting from strength in the public segment and easier sales comparisons. S&P is keeping the 2003 earnings per share estimate at $2.19, but is raising 2004's to $2.49 from $2.36. Shares trade at a premium to the S&P 500 but CDW's p-e of 23 is at a discount to its historical average p-e of 25. S&P's 12-month, $62 target price assumes a p-e of 25 times the 2004 estimate.
Brown-Forman (BF.B ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Anishka Clarke
Before litigation charges, July-quarter earnings per share of 62 cents, vs. 53 cents, is 7 cents below S&P's estimate. Sales rose 11% on strong growth in core spirits despite a decline in Brown-Forman's consumer durables. Earnings were aided by distribution changes, currency gains, and lower taxes. Even with further weakness in wines and consumer durables, S&P sees fiscal 2004 (April) earnings per share up 15% on strong growth in spirits and fewer shares. At 20 times S&P's calendar 2003 estimate of $4.01, above peers, S&P thinks Brown-Forman is worth holding. S&P's 12-month target price is $81, reflecting p-e ratio of 18, based on S&P's $4.49 calendar 2004 earnings per share estimate.
Corinthian Colleges (COCO ): Maintains 5 STARS (buy)
Analyst: Michael Jaffe
The for-profit education provider posted 39 cents vs. 27 cents June-quarter earnings per share -- 2 cents below S&P's estimate. The rise reflects 28% higher same-school revenues, takeovers, and new campuses. Corinthian sees 20% to 25% revenue gains for the next few years without takeovers, but projects recent purchases bringing 44% to 46% gains in fiscal 2004 (June). Also, Corinthian thinks the integration of takeovers will narrow earnings per share gains to 24% to 26% in fiscal 2004, or $1.77 to $1.80. However, given prior integration success, S&P believes the guidance is too cautious. S&P still sees $1.85 earnings per share in fiscal 2004, and thinks Corinthian is undervalued at 1.2 times the 25% growth forecast for the next few years.
Dollar Tree Stores (DLTR ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Jason Asaeda
Dollar Tree posted July-quarter earnings per share of 25 cents, vs. 21 cents -- 2 cents above S&P's estimate. Results benefited from a strong, 5.1% comparison-store sales gain, which was partly offset by lower merchandise margins, the consolidation of synthetic leases, and higher depreciation.
Given sales momentum and earnings accretion that S&P expects from the recently acquired Greenbacks chain, S&P is raising the fiscal 2004 (Jan.) earnings per share estimate by 6 cents, to $1.56, and is upping fiscal 2005's by 7 cents, to $1.81. At 21 times S&P's fiscal 2005 estimate, Dollar Tree trades below peers. Applying a p-e of 25 to S&P's forward 12-month earnings per share projection of $1.65, S&P's 12-month target price is $41.

|Kari Alsager
Senior Kristie Smilanich (Kalamazoo/Christian) was voted by her teammates as the squad's Most Valuable Player of the Year. Smilanich led the Bulldogs in scoring for the second straight season with 36 points on a team-high tying 14 goals and a squad-best eight assists in 16 matches. The 5-6 midfielder tallied at least a goal in nine contests for the 2007 season, which included four multiple-goal outings to go with two game winners. She garnered Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Women's Soccer Player of the Week laurels (8/27) as a result of totaling a combined 10 points (4-2=10) in the Bulldogs' 2007 season opening two matches, highlighted by three goals and two assists in a season-opening victory at Kentucky Wesleyan (8/24). Smilanich concluded her four-year (2004-07) career placing second among Ferris State's all-time leaders with 103 points while ranking second also in both goals (41) and assists (21). She produced six game-winning goals in her career. The 2006 All-GLIAC First-Teamer holds the distinction of being the first-ever All-American in the program's history after achieving 2006 Daktronics NCAA Division II Women's Soccer First-Team accolades. A season ago, Smilanich was the winner of the Ferris' Attacking Player of the Year Award after pacing the Bulldogs with 39 points on 18 goals and three assists in 18 outings.
The Most Improved Player Award was presented to senior midfielder Nicole Sawada (Westfield, Ind./Carmel), who turned in her most productive season at Ferris State this past fall. Sawada finished fourth in team scoring with eight points on two goals and four assists in 19 contests. The 5-2 midfielder, who gained the starting assignment in 15 matches, registered multi-points on two occasions - four points (2-0=4) versus Gannon (10/5) and two points (0-2=2) against Northwood (10/14). Sawada registered 13 career points on three goals with seven assists in 53 matches.
Heather O'Keefe (Ada/Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central) was awarded the Attacking Player of the Year. A starter in all 19 games, O'Keefe produced her best season ever with a team second-best 35 points on 14 goals with seven assists. The 5-3 senior forward chalked up 11 multiple-point game outings this campaign, which included three multi-goal single-match performances with two markers apiece at Kentucky Wesleyan (8/24), vs. Missouri-St. Louis (9/2), and against Northwood (10/14). O'Keefe closed out her career (2005-07) ranking fourth in points (68), goals (26), and assists (16) on Ferris State's all-time leaders list. She netted five career game-winning goals.
The Defensive Player of the Award went to junior Jackie Back (Ortonville/Ortonville-Brandon), a 2007 All-GLIAC Second-Team selection. Back compiled two points on a pair of assists in 19 matches. A starter in 18 matches this season, the 5-2 defender tallied a helper in back-to-back conference home contests against Mercyhurst (10/7) and Saginaw Valley State (10/12). In 55 career appearances to date, Back has accumulated six career points with a goal and four assists.
For the second consecutive year, sophomore goalkeeper Kari Alsager (Mount Pleasant) earned the Don Edwards Scholarship Award. The team award is presented to the women's soccer student-athlete who is the most dedicated to the team on and off the field while maintaining a high grade point average. The 5-5 netminder started in 18 of 19 contests this season and posted a 6-12-1 record with a 3.18 goals-against average (60 goals allowed) and a .627 save percentage (101 saves) in 1,699 minutes of action. Alsager owns a 6-12-1 mark with a 3.26 goals-against average (63 goals allowed) and a 627 save percentage (106 saves) in 23 appearances.
Ferris State closed out the 2007 campaign at 6-12-1 overall while posting a fifth-place 4-4-0 GLIAC mark under second-year head coach Neathan Gibson. The Bulldogs also made an appearance in the inaugural GLIAC Women's Soccer Tournament this past fall. Ferris' 132 points and 40 assists this season both were school records while the squad's 46 goals tied for top all-time single-season honors.

Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who portrayed the indefatigable Inspector Lewis Erskine on the long-running U.S. television series "The F.B.I.", died on Friday at the age of 95, according to media reports.
Zimbalist died at his home in Solvang, California, his daughter, actress Stephanie Zimbalist, and his son Efrem Zimbalist III, said in a statement, Hollywood trade magazine Variety and other media reported.
"A devout Christian, he actively enjoyed his life to the last day, showering love on his extended family, playing golf, and visiting with close friends," the statement said, according to Variety.
A spokesman for the family could not be immediately reached for comment.
From the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, Zimbalist was one of the top stars on U.S. television, playing a private detective on the ABC series "77 Sunset Strip" from 1958 to 1964 before his stint on "The F.B.I." on the same network from 1965 to 1974.
Zimbalist, the son of opera singer Alma Gluck and concert violinist Efrem Zimbalist Sr., also appeared in about 20 movies - usually in supporting roles but sometimes as the leading man.
He was born on Nov. 30, 1918, in New York and saw U.S. Army combat duty during World War Two.
During its nine seasons on the air, "The F.B.I." dramatized the Federal Bureau of Investigation as its agents solved murders, kidnappings and bank heists. Its episodes - inspired by real cases - required FBI approval.
Zimbalist portrayed Erskine as an assiduous, dedicated investigator during an era when the FBI in real life was embroiled in America's tumult during the Vietnam War era.
The actor said the FBI's larger-than-life director J. Edgar Hoover was initially reluctant to give his permission for the series and "was not a lover of Hollywood." The two eventually met and had a steady correspondence.
In 2009, the FBI honored Zimbalist, at age 90, in a ceremony in Los Angeles in which agency Director Robert Mueller presented him with an honorary special agent badge.
Mueller said Zimbalist over the years helped the FBI by narrating recruitment commercials and taking part in fundraising events for children of agents killed in the line of duty.
"I'm a conservative Republican," Zimbalist told the Oklahoman newspaper in 2011. "And I wasn't a friend of the FBI just because I was in the show. My philosophy is the same. I was deeply aware of the sentiment against the bureau and against Hoover."
On "77 Sunset Strip," a show that was more carefree than "The F.B.I," Zimbalist played wisecracking private detective Stu Bailey, starring alongside Roger Smith and Edd Byrnes.
Zimbalist appeared occasionally with his daughter Stephanie Zimbalist on her 1980s TV series "Remington Steele" with Pierce Brosnan, and later did voice work for animated TV shows.
His supporting movie roles included parts in "House of Strangers" (1949) with Edward G. Robinson, "Band of Angels" (1957) with Clark Gable and Sidney Poitier, "Too Much, Too Soon" (1958) with Errol Flynn, "Airport 1975" (1974) with Charlton Heston and "Hot Shots!" (1991) with Charlie Sheen.
He was sometimes a leading man, as in "Harlow" in 1965 with Carol Lynley and "The Chapman Report" in 1962 with Jane Fonda.

I work for a retail display company and spend most of my time (while at work) either driving or working inside convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery markets.
This week I will need to visit a couple of Air Force bases in Spokane, WA and Yakima, WA for work.
Do military bases provide any sort of storage for one to check in their firearm(s) before heading on base?
Alternate suggestions? I really don't want to have to leave my protection at home for a whole week because of 2 stops.

This Sunday, following Meet the Press, a 30-minute advertisement attacking health care reform is set to air on NBC in Washington, DC. The ad is by former hospital CEO Rick Scott and his group "Conservatives for Patients' Rights."
Rick Scott has a track record of deceit. Scott's previous ads contained blatantly false statements and misleading excerpts of interviews with health care professionals. Join us in telling NBC not to run this phony "documentary" this Sunday.
If Scott's 30-minute "documentary" contains any falsehoods, NBC could very well find themselves with an FCC violation. Furthermore, Meet the Press needs to know that they're being used by Rick Scott, and will be tarnished by his swiftboating.
Below is Mr. Rick Scott's previous advertisement, which is likely to be included in Sunday's 30-minute fake "documentary" advertisement against health care reform:
Below is a quick fact-check from Media Matters Action Network:
Below are the reasons we are asking for this ad to be taken down:Your news network is scheduled to run a thirty-minute "documentary" advertisement sponsored by Conservatives for Patients' Rights which based on previous advertisements will be demonstrably false and maliciously mislead viewers with its statements and edited video content. Based on excerpts from their website, potential significant errors and falsehoods make this ad unfit to air. In the public interest, you should closely review the ad and cease plans on airing it immediately.
SEIU calls your attention to just two of the major falsities likely to appear in this advertisement, outlined in greater detail in the attached document, are:

Looking Backward
What The Wave Said 20 Years Ago...
Complaints that proposed City Council redistricting splits traditionally unified Rockaway and ties the Rockaway population in the east end with a community that has no common goals are surfacing all over the peninsula. The plan being circulated was released earlier this week with a notation that it adds five City Council seats to Queens. Far Rockaway will be split off from the rest of the peninsula, attached to Laurelton, while the west end of the peninsula will be joined to Howard Beach and the home of Walter Ward. The Far Rockaway district is described as 59 percent black, 13 percent Hispanic, two percent Asian and 25 percent white. The western district is five percent black, 12 percent Hispanic, four percent Asian and 79 percent white. Officials say that the split is necessary to guarantee minority participation in the electoral process.
After holding its price for fifteen years, The Wave has been forced to increase both its newsstand price and its subscription price. The newsstand price will increase from 25 to 35 cents, and the mail subscription price will increase from $12 to $15 beginning with next week's edition.
Community Board 14's Committee on Land use, co-chaired by Michael Tubridy, will meet on Monday to consider an application from the Washington Hotel to reinstate and extend its variance permitting an addition to the hotel, which is on Beach 125 Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard.
What makes Jake Miller so different from many Far Rockaway High School athletes is that he chose to stay and serve the community. In the '50s and '60s, Jack Kerchman was the premier football coach in the city and Miller was first one of his key players and then his assistant. In the '70s and '80's Miller became the team's coach, developing many locals who have also stayed on, including Greg Carter. This week, Miller retires from the high school after 33 years.
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Streisand, who reside in Surfside Park, celebrated their 50th anniversary on April 28 with 200 guests at a Brooklyn restaurant. In attendance was cousin Barbara Streisand, who gave the couple a personally autographed photo in a gold frame.
Sergeant Thomas Barrett, the community affairs officer at the 101 Precinct in Far Rockaway, was one of the top finishers in the 13th annual Rotary Ocean Run, which was held last weekend.
30 Years Ago...
Jack Braunstein was named to head the slate that will lead the 100 Precinct Community Council in the coming year. Frank Spolin was named as the first vice president and Stuart Sachs was named the second vice president. Nominated from the floor as third vice president was Lew Simon.
Services for Milton Jacobowitz, lifelong resident of the Rockaways and longtime
Democratic District Leader, were held at the Boulevard Park West funeral home in Hewlett.
Tavern owners from throughout the peninsula met at Pier 92 on the bay last week to begin a boycott of British goods, including gin made in England. The boycott is led by Dan Tubridy, the proprietor of the restaurant.
More than 6.000 people attended the Ocean Run and Beach 116 Street Fair, which were held under sunny skies last weekend.
40 Years Ago...
Two of the peninsula's finest eateries, the Breakers and the Newport Inn, are offering specials for Mother's Day this year.
Steel work is going up quickly for the new nursing home going up next to St. Joseph's Hospital on New Haven Avenue in Far Rockaway.
Whenever somebody suggests that we abandon publication of the Looking Backward column, the suggestion is met with a lot of flack by those who love the information about Rockaway of old.
Two apartment buildings have been rumored for a location on Beach Channel Drive near Beach 116 Street. There are to be two 23-story buildings if the plan goes through.
50 Years Ago...
The last of the old Seaside landmarks went the way of time last week when Valenti's Hotel finally closed its doors. Dan and Al Valenti, who conducted the family business since the death of their father many years ago, now have homes in the Edgemere Houses.
Rocks being laid along the inlet shore in the O'Donohue Park section should be the beginning of good fishing grounds, which will please both the local fish and the fishermen.
Phone calls and personal complaints to The Wave office since publication of the "Warning, Low Flying Plane" picture last week indicate that the humor of the picture struck many people like those "Drive Off The Bridge" signs once did.

Efficiency Study Evaluating the Use of the PVAC Catheter Technology for Performing Ablation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (CAPCOST)
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia affecting the Canadian population. AF is associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and even mortality1. AF can also cause debilitating symptoms and adversely affect a patient's quality of life and functional status. These are amongst several reasons why a strategy of sinus rhythm may be pursued over a strategy of allowing AF to persist2-6.
Percutaneous catheter ablation has emerged as an effective alternative to antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) for maintaining sinus rhythm7. The cornerstone of AF ablation procedures today is electrical disconnection or "isolation" of the pulmonary vein (PV) antra from the rest of the left atrium (LA)8-13. In experienced hands, the success rate of PV isolation off AAD is about 80-90% in patients with paroxysmal AF, but repeat procedures are required in up to 40% of patients14-18. Thus, after one ablation, the success rate may only be 50-70% off drugs.
Current standard ablation procedures for PV antral isolation employ mapping systems with which reconstructions of the LA and PV anatomy can be created. Visualization may be supplemented by integration of CT or MRI images and/or intracardiac echocardiography. Robotic navigation systems have also been employed to assist in ablation. The result is that ablation technology has become very complex and costly. Furthermore, all of these technologies are based on a single point unipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation catheter where lesions are created point-by-point around the PVs to eventually obtain electrical isolation. This results in a lengthy procedure, often more than 4 hours, which requires a high degree of operator skill. Creation of contiguous, transmural lesions is also challenging with standard single-point RF.
Recently, a novel multipolar catheter ablation system has been evaluated for achieving PV isolation (PVAC catheter, Ablation Frontiers, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN). Based on an over-the-wire circular mapping and ablation design, the catheter can be advanced into the PV antrum, and multiple lesions around the circumference of the catheter can be delivered simultaneously using duty-cycled unipolar and bipolar RF energy. In early reports, the system can achieve complete PV isolation with reduced fluoroscopy and procedural times and uses lower powers to achieve more reliable lesion sets19-21. Long-term efficacy also seems comparable to standard RF ablation22,23.
This novel technology has the potential to broaden the application of AF ablation, by making the procedures less time-consuming and less complex without compromising on procedural efficacy. However, published data on outcomes related to use of PVAC technology are limited to studies with relatively small sample sizes ranging from 12 to 102 patients20-25. Data has been restricted to experiences from a small number of European centers performing moderate numbers of PVAC procedures and there is no prospective, multicenter data. The investigators therefore know little about the efficiency of PVAC procedures, which in turn, may allow for an assessment of the cost-effectiveness of using this technology.

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Control
Subjects who are undergoing AF ablation with traditional ablation technology at the same centers by the same operators. Control patients will be enrolled in a 1:2 ratio compared to the PVAC cohort.
Device: Radiofrequency Ablation Procedure
Application of radiofrequency energy will be delivered during PV antral isolation procedure and should be performed with a standard, open irrigated ablation catheter and a mapping system as the investigator would perform the procedure normally.
Other Names:
Experimental: PVAC Cohort
The PVAC is deployed in the left atrium over a 0.032-inch guidewire inside the PV and advanced until it is wedged within the antrum proximal to the ostium. Energy is delivered through selected electrode pairs with local potentials as well as adjacent electrode pairs, allowing bipolar current to flow to the target electrode(s) from both sides. Each application lasts for 60 seconds. When the temperature does not rise above 50°C within 15 seconds, the application should be discontinued to improve position. The PVAC may be manipulated within the antrum to ablate in a pattern of overlapping circular lesions.
Device: Radiofrequency Ablation Procedure
Application of radiofrequency energy with the Pulmonary Vein Ablation Catheter(PVAC)to eliminate potentials arising from the pulmonary veins.
