Topic: New to all this....and SO LOST!
I am a 37 y/o woman with no significant past health history aside from an elective gastric bypass with removal of my gall bladder 15 years ago. 3 weeks ago (after suffering severe abdominal pain for about a month), I FINALLY found a doctor who decided to look a little deeper into my situation, rather than assume I was seeking pain medications. I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma. It is Intrahepatic. (I still don't know if this is good or bad....seems to depend on the article you read). AND my tumor is 20x12x22cm within my liver. There is no lymph node involvement, and according to the remainder of vast tests performed, I am otherwise healthy.
When I was presented with my diagnosis, I was also informed that I have 2-14 months to live. I was told it was not curable, it was not a candidate for radiation or surgical options, and the only option I had was to partake in Chemotherapy as "palliative care".
I live in Arkansas, there are no large cancer centers in the state, so I cant help be very skeptical of this prognosis and statement of such limited treatments. I have plans to go to MD Anderson in Houston, but this has been put off due to insurance purposes. Now the insurance issues are resolved, but now I have to wait until my current oncologist completes her first stage of treatment and reaches a point of re-evaluation.
Here are some of my major questions at this time:
1. I hear this is an extremely rare cancer and even more rare due to my age of 37. Any suggestions on what to do during the waiting time to get to MDA?
2. I have read so much about supplements and diets, Im lost on this also. Seems if I followed all their advice, I would be limited to water and asparagus (but im not supposed to lose weight, remember lol). I would love any input on what has worked for others.
3. My Chemo is Gemzar and Cisplatin. I have had very little side affects of the chemo, thankfully, with the exception of having notable issue with concentration, memory, irritability, and both gross and fine motor skills (I stumble around a lot, and Ive noticed my hand writing is shaky and runs down hill). Is this what they call "chemo brain"? and does it really kick in after only 2 treatments?
4. How do you relax and get this off your mind for just a little while? Ive started exercising lightly, and trying to learn meditation. I do the meditation attempts at night mostly mainly because the music at least is a help to relax and otherwise I am wide awake most of the night with thoughts running thru my head over and over again.
5. ANY tips you wish you knew at this point is welcomed. ANYTHING to help me find a path that hopefully leads to survival...but at the very least...one of serenity and understanding of what I have, what to expect, etc.
Thanks, in advance, for your time and input! Carla

Cathy Lamb,
Fern Michaels,
Mary Carter,
Terri DuLong
Cathy Lamb, the author of Julia's Chocolates, The Last Time I Was Me, and Henry's Sisters, lives in Oregon. She is married with three children. She writes late at night when it's just her and the moon and a few shooting stars.
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines a biography this way: A biography is the written history of a person's life. Fern Michaels isn't a person. Fern Michaels is what I DO. Me, Mary Ruth Kuczkir. Growing up in Hastings, Pennsylvania, I was called Ruth. I became Mary when I entered the business world where first names were the order of the day. To this day, family and friends call me Dink, a name my father gave me when I was born because according to him I was `a dinky little thing' weighing in at four and a half pounds. However, I answer to Fern since people are more comfortable with a name they can pronounce.
I've been telling stories and scribbling for twenty-five years. I hope I can continue for another twenty-five years. It wasn't easy during some of those years. As I said, I had to persevere. My old Polish grandmother said something to me when I was little that I never forgot. She said when God is good to you, you have to give back. For a while I didn't know how to do that. When I finally figured it out I set up The Fern Michaels Foundation. The foundation allows me to grant four year scholarships to needy, deserving students. I then went a step further and opened pre-school and day care centers with affordable rates for single moms who are having a hard time of it. Doing Fern Michaels allows me to do this and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for being so good to me. I don't know what I'm the most proud of, the books I write, the scholarships, the pre-schools or the fact that I put my kids through college on my own with no help from anyone. Probably the latter because when all else is said and done, the only thing that matters is family.
Is Fern Michaels a great writer. No. She is however, one hell of a story teller. When people ask me what I do, I say, "I scribble and tell stories." It's a great way to make a living. The Dutch have a saying, `If you can't whistle on your way to work, you don't belong in that job.' I whistle all day long.

Family of Padres' Hinch safe after Okla. tornadoes
SAN DIEGO -- On Sunday, Becky Hinch was enjoying the sunshine during a visit to San Diego, playing with her two granddaughters, Haley and Kaitlin.
One day later, Hinch, the mother of Padres vice president and assistant general manager A.J. Hinch, was on put on lockdown at her work near Moore, Okla., when a two-mile-wide tornado ripped through the city, killing at least 51 people.
"She texted me and told me she was being locked in a building," Hinch said by phone on Monday from Omaha, Neb., where the Padres' Triple-A Tucson affiliate was playing.
Hinch grew up Midwest City, which is about 15 miles northeast of Moore. While his mother now lives in Oklahoma City, Hinch's sister and her family still live in Midwest City. In fact, his brother-in-law, Robert Wages, actually captured some video of the tornado on his cellular phone.
"My brother-in-law was on the outskirts and took an incredible video of it. You can hear his voice in the video saying, 'Let's get out of here,' " Hinch said.
Hinch's sister, Angie Wages, is a teacher in Midwest City. Many of the victims of the tornado were children, according to reports.
"It hits home for me, the father of two girls," Hinch said. "That's heartbreaking to hear the stories that are coming out of there. I feel sorry for everyone."
Hinch said he grew up heeding the tornado siren living in the center of Tornado Alley.
"This time of year, late spring/early summer, you're never numb to it," Hinch said.

An unusually broad coalition of business, labor, law-enforcement, religious and civic leaders will launch a joint campaign for federal immigration reform Wednesday.
The group, called San Diegans United for Commonsense Immigration Reform, includes the founder of Qualcomm, the company's chairman and CEO, the county district attorney, the county sheriff, the police chiefs for San Diego and Chula Vista, Malin Burnham of the Smart Border Coalition, the head of the county farm bureau, the leader of the region's biggest labor union, the local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and two former state lawmakers.
They plan to gather at Qualcomm headquarters to announce their core principles, new website and other efforts.
"Groups on all sides of the immigration debate agree that we are at an inflection point in history — we have a unique opportunity to achieve the type of reform that has eluded us for generations," the coalition's members said in a statement.
The coalition's push comes as congress and the White House continue to debate what could be the biggest immigration reform package since 1986.
Lawmakers are grappling with a complex and wide-ranging set of issues, including whether to give unauthorized immigrants living in this country a chance to gain U.S. citizenship, how best to secure the nation's borders, whether to increase the number of visas for high-skilled workers and whether to create special programs for farm laborers and guest workers.
President Barack Obama and a bipartisan, eight-senator group have announced separate proposals for immigration reform. A similar effort is underway in the House.
Legislation is expected to be introduced in the spring, and political observers predict passage of an immigration bill or bills by mid-summer.
The new regional coalition is being chaired by Nathan Fletcher, a former candidate for San Diego mayor who is now the senior director of corporate development for Qualcomm. Fletcher worked with the San Diego American Civil Liberties Union to assemble a countywide group of leaders who support the immigration-reform campaign.
Last month, Qualcomm chairman and chief executive Paul Jacobs visited the White House with other business executives to discuss immigration reform, and he recently spoke on the topic during a local real estate conference.
Jacobs has said the economy could face tough times if immigration reform does not take place because some companies are having difficulties recruiting qualified workers.

DUDLEY councillors have given their backing to a plan that means people will have to have lived in the borough for at least two years before qualifying to go on the council's housing list.
The council's cabinet last night (Wednesday February 13) approved the proposal which has been drafted to meet new statutory guidance on social housing allocations.
Cabinet members gave the thumbs-up for a 12-month trial of the new waiting list criteria - which will not apply to members of the armed forces and their families.
Exemptions will also apply to homeless families and those moving to escape violence; people who have lived in neighbouring authorities for two years and those with a strong local connection may also be accepted onto the list.
Councillor Steve Waltho, Dudley's cabinet member for housing, said present council tenants would not be affected by the changes - only new applicants; and he said the impact of the new rules would be assessed after the 12-month trial.
Dudley's Conservatives called instead for a five-year residency test - which already operates in neighbouring Sandwell.
Cllr Patrick Harley, leader of the borough's Conservative Party, said: "This council needs to make it one of the conditions that people wishing to join the housing waiting list must either have been living here in Dudley or working in Dudley for five years.
"With neighbouring authorities already setting a five-year limit and with new statuary advice being issued it is now time for Labour in Dudley to ensure those who work and live in borough have a chance to get on the housing waiting list and then a realistic chance of a home."
But cllr Waltho said the council was taking "a very sensible and measured approach" in trialling the new two-year rule for applicants which would give housing bosses chance to "asses whether any problems or major issues arise in that time".

It's night four of The Voice, so it's all pretty predictable: People sang, chairs span ... or you know, not.
Following on from the previous nights dramatic To Be Continued ... which appeared to have been borrowed somewhat ironically from a silent movie (where you saw, but didn't hear), we return to the sight of Joel and Ricky going all Zoolander at the computer on their buttons, while poor Kathy sings away oblivious, finishing to the sight of the back of four chairs.
WHO SPUN: No one, but Joel and Ricky wanted to
Joel has an amazing solution, he stands up.
Ricky kneels on his chair peeking over the top.
Kathy Hinch is 25 from Melbourne and Joel is pitching himself hard for the role of mentor, almost as hard as the techies backstage are beating on the cogs with wrenches. They have some success as finally the chairs turn.
I can't help but wonder if Seal and Delta weren't a little distracted by the button chaos to contemplate whether they wanted Kathy, but it doesn't matter as ...
... Ricky starts seducing poor Kathy. He's doing the voice. He's doing the look. He offers to help Kathy "maybe even play rock". Poor Joel looks lost. He knows he can't compete with this, except he can.
"In my heart I'm a soul R&B artist" says Kathy.
Joel asks if she's saying him. "I'm saying you Joel." And everyone is happy. Except for the guy whose leg was jammed in the chair mechanism, who will going forward simply be known as stumpy.
Kudos to Kathy who handled that well as it was all pretty surreal. The upshot is Ricky and Delta having a moment of button pressing practice which lets Ricky get in a quick "She bang, she bang" gag that was bound to happen really.
Meet Glen Percival ...
Glen is an artist with big shoes to fill, specifically last year finalist shoes, as he is six years younger than his brother Darren Percival, the guy who came second in this competition last year. Glen is his own man though with his own style.
Backstage Glen practices half-singing a note at some big orange lights, while Darren turns up to watch from backstage. Glen walks on stage.
The chairs are nervous.
SONG: Times Like These by Foo Fighters
To be honest, Glen sounds OK. A step above a really good karaoke performance. Perhaps this wasn't the moment to try really hard to NOT sound like his brother, as he is instead NOT sounding like Dave Grohl.
Joel feels like he knows the voice he's hearing, but no chairs turn and this time there are no technicians to blame.
WHO SPUN: No one
"My name's Glen Percival"
"Are you Darren's brother?" asks Delta.
"I am"
It could be really awkward or just OK. Joel goes for the former as he somewhat ties himself in knots as he tries to explain the familiarity of Glen's voice, and how he sounds like Darren who has a great voice, while not quite explaining why he didn't turn.
Seal brings the calm, explaining that he enjoyed the song more than the performance. Delta felt it was pitchy. Ricky doesn't think it was the right choice of song ... and admits he has no idea who Darren Percival is.
It's all been so dramatic that Ricky takes to a room that looks remarkably like the white MasterChef room of thinking, but is in fact the white Voice room of thinking, to explain he won't be sugar coating his responses. He doesn't need to of course. He has THAT accent. He could just tell every contestant they sang like a teaspoon in a blender and they'd just gaze lovingly at him.
Meet Maya ...
Maya's been gigging with her dad since she was 8 and is now 18 and talking about her father in the past tense so I'm concerned that there is a heartbreaking story coming. I'm concerned for less time than it took to type that sentence as it turns out Dad is alive and backstage, he's just lost in a black bandanna that's pulled so tight around his skull a phrenologist could do a reading from the television.
Maya's mum and dad surprise Australia by believing in her, which is her cue to walk on stage.
"Here we go" predicts Joel. He's right.
Song: Stepping Stone by Duffy
As Maya hits the chorus for the first time she delivers the merest hint of a trill that really lights Joel's fire and he finds himself giddy from spinning so fast.
Seal is doing that soulful hang over the button thing that he does so well, but having almost faked even his own hand out, he commits to the button and spins.
Delta gives her trademark should I, shouldn't I look to the crowd before landing on shouldn't.
WHO SPUN: Joel and Seal
Maya wants to be like Duffy, so that was a good song choice.
Joel heats the crowd up with the sort of accidental implication that got Delta in trouble last night. "Female artists are my favourite to work with because I feel like we communicate well together"
He tries to recover by saying he's a momma's boy, but everyone's still thinking he's got a crush on Maya.
"I'm a lot of fun to work with but i also know what I'm talking about," Joel adds.
"I'm fun but I don't beat around the bush" counters Seal.
"Neither do I" quips Joel.
"They're both fun" sums up Delta who has seen this schtick go on for hours before.
So, it's clearly going to be fun for Maya but choosing isn't. She came in not knowing who she wanted as a mentor ... so she interviews Seal and Joel by asking Seal one question.
"I think I've made a decision..." says Maya finally and Joel is sure he's about to lose so leaps to his own defence.
He assures her he's able to be serious. "It's not all Heeeey Wucka Wucka Wucka."
It's Fozzy Joel! All I want now is Statler and Waldorf from The Muppets to pop up and give a quick: The comedian's a bear! No he's not, he's a wearing a Ramones T Shirt.
"I'm serious about her dream coming true" summarises Joel. The crowd wants Maya to choose Joel. Seal wants to say more. The producers want this to end before The Following begins.
"I've made my decision" Maya says before pausing for a very long time in order to make her decision.
"As much as it would be my world to work with you, I believe you want me more" she says. Between camera angles and her lack of use of names, its not clear who she means.
Joel's head is hanging in the of a man who has spent too many nights as Seal's vocal wing man. But she means him. He looks up, looks shocked and stands on his chair. He's happy. Of course he is. Maya has red hair. He's hoping she's this year's Sarah de Bono.
A round up of the teams tells us that Joel has six, Seal has six, Ricky has five, Delta has five. It's neck and neck and slightly below the neck ... say the thorax, yes thorax ... it's neck and neck and thorax and thorax.
It's time for the montage of not-so-great performers, focusing on the "classic Aussie men of rock" who didn't make it. It's almost like we can expect a "classic Aussie man of rock".
Meet Tim Morrison ...
Utterly unpredictably, we next meet Melbourne boy Tim who was in a band, Trial Kennedy, for 12 years, playing his guts out without making a cent. Six months ago they called it quits and he's been building caravans ever since.
That's the sort of phrase that should be a euphemism, but isn't.
Tim then explains that music is like a cancer.
That's the sort of phrase that shouldn't be a euphemism but now is.
Shea is Tim's girlfriend, and wouldn't you know it, she thinks he's good.
Tim gets ready to take the stage and reminds himself it was all his bands fault up until now. His band and the caravans. Neither of them will be on stage with him, tragically.
SONG: Sunday, Bloody Sunday by U2
Seal raises his hands above his chair in two V's for victory, or for peace or maybe for The Voice. Then he air drums before ... and there it is, he Seals. To Seal: A new verb meaning to leave ones hand throbbing over the big red button (and that is DEFINITELY not a euphemism).
We are reminded that Bono is a very hard singer to emulate, but Tim is doing well. He's inspired a button fake-out session among the judges, but finally Delta turns, though she is looking straight at Seal not Tim when she does. She thinks she's got Tim until the very final note is fading and Seal drops his hand.
WHO SPUN: Delta and Seal
Joel helps Tim decide by saying that Delta is caring and nurturing and Seal is ... not. "I've been loved by both of them," he explains.
Tim makes his decision and it forces Delta to put her shoes back on and hop up, only to discover her legs are asleep as she teeters up to welcome him to her team.
Meet Michelle Cashman ...
Michelle is from New South Wales. She had a tough childhood and has a Karise Eden esque background. She's also got a really cute son Jack who is singing in the ready room.
Song: Wicked Game, Chris Isaak
She's got a much more resonant singing voice than her conversational tones suggested and the judges spend an entire song loving it but really NOT pressing their buttons.
WHO SPUN: No one
Poor Jack's eyes are the size of plates back stage and Australia's heart breaks for him.
"Holy shit look at all these people" says Michelle who admits she didn't connect to her lyrics because she was seeing the backs of the chairs and saying "oh crap turrrrrrrrn"
She's got a cracker personality and her voice touches Delta's skin, which is why she didn't turn as she has a contractual arrangement to only use specific skin products.
Seal feels blessed by Michelle and Joel is shocked and she killed the song. She heads back stage and consoles Jack and he gives her a hug and we love him even more.
Meet Jessika Samarges...
For Jessika its not just about the looks.
We know this because she repeatedly points out that she is always judged by her looks and that she loves fashion. She pauses her 'looks' tirade just long enough for her guitarist to point out that she's beautiful. Then she goes to audition, saying she's glad for the chairs, because, shockingly, they won't judge her on her looks.
You see it's not about looks, it's about talking about it not being about looks.
After the break Jessika admits she does think people have judged her by how she looks and just when you think we can't get another reference to appearance her sister backstage points out that she looks great in those shoes.
Is it just a little bit possible that it is at least partly about looks for the Samarges crew?
Jessika may sing tonight, but I'm not banking on it at this point.
SONG: Stuck, Stacie Orrico
It's a decent rendition but its full of energy, even if Jessika doesn't actually hit the top note first time round. Joel turns and upon laying eyes on Jessika gives Seal the eye and mouths WOW. Delta turns. Seal is willing the button to press itself. He is Sealing. Seal turns on the final note AGAIN.
WHO SPUN: Joel, Delta and Seal
Delta isn't pitching very hard to get Jessika, but believes she cold guide her well. Seal thought it was fantastic ... "for a 20-year-old." Ouch.
Joel says she sounded fun and thinks she sounds hot, also she's really pretty. So as we know Jessika isn't about looks, she won't choose him.
She chooses him.
Meet Chris Sheehy and Kim Sheehy ...
A brother and sister pair from Brisbane, their parents say its impossible to pick who is the better singer. I suspect the judges may not be as challenged.
Kim is hoping to disprove an old cliche by showing those who teach music can also do music.
Chris on the other hand is a professional musician, which mostly involves cover work in pubs. At this point his back story becomes a World Vision commercial: Chris is 22 and no one applauds his songs.
Both Chris and Kim discuss what would happen if she got through and he didn't. Sometimes I wonder if the producers don't stage these conversations just to set up an upset. Let's see.
Kim's up first ... swiftly. She's running on to the stage and Seal can hear it.
Song: Love Song, Sara Bareilles
To be honest it's ok, but no one really looks like turning at any point.
WHO SPUN: No one
Seal didn't sense hunger. Delta blames the song which has a limited range. Joel likes her style.
Mum and Dad fret as to how Kim's failure will affect him, because he thinks she's the best there is. I'm now worried about what bands he sings covers of.
Chris comes on stage and he will be playing the guitar as he sings.
Song: One More Night, Maroon 5
He's raised Ricky's eyebrows with one note. Delta's into it. Joel's getting members of the crowd to confirm he's playing guitar.
Delta stands. Joel stands. Delta presses. Joel presses. Seal presses. Ricky gets his groove on in his chair then the song ends and he looks up as though bewildered as to where all his friends went.
WHO SPUN: Delta, Joel and Seal
"You've got a lot of soul in your voice. I'm quite surprised actually," says Seal. He DOESN'T add "because, you know, you're white" and Delta takes notes on how this is done.
"You have something I can't give you. That natural soul. You make me believe," finishes Seal.
"That's beautiful" says Chris whose soul is in love with Seal.
Joel admits he cheated outrageously and checked that Chris was playing the guitar.
Chris doesn't know what he wants. He's gazing into Delta's hypnotic eyes. She says to tune everything out. And he chooses Joel who looks a bit surprised as he had surrendered to Seal's soul. "I felt for sure he was in love with seal"
Joel nabs his fourth artist of the night, Seal is artistless, and Joel has his smug on. It has to be said, even that looks good on him.
Meet Juliane Di Sisto ...
Juliane is an only child from Tasmania. She's here with Mum and Dad, her biggest fans and Mum is possibly a little too quick to explain it took seven years to conceive Juliane.
Juliane has been trying to carve a career out of music for 10 years but has only managed to carve a few wooden boats that her Mum's very proud of. Backstage, mum predicts she's going to cry and does.
SONG: Good Luck, Basement Jaxx
Ricky turns! This man is just looking for something different.
Joel keeps almost pressing. Seal doesn't even Seal his button. Ricky is excited, and Ricky gets his girl.
WHO SPUN: Ricky
"If Ricky hadn't turned around I would have turned around," says Seal and the crowd's not buying that.
Joel mocks Seal: "He doesn't follow, he leeeeeeeads."
"If he would have turned around I would have fought like crazy to have you on my team," adds Ricky which rather slam dunks that conversation.
"I turned around because I felt you turned me on," adds Ricky which has Joel howling. Not with laughter. Actually howling. Cue the latino music and Tasmania has just joined South America.
Meet Luke Kennedy ...
It's all about the D words for Luke: Daughter and Depression.
He battled the latter, has photos of the former on his phone, and he has a really cool pocket kerchief going on. That's probably a tip he learnt as part of the Ten Tenors.
Song: Un Giorno Per Noi / A Time For Us, Josh Groban
Ricky is DETERMINED and slams his button after the first line. "Oh wow my god" says Seal and presses. Joel is conducting. Delta is turning.
Joel stands on his chair, commands an ovation, then turns with an almighty slap of his shoe on the button before sitting down to just enjoy the magic.
He's got an ovation at the end. Seal is bowing. Joel is swearing. Ricky WANTS this guy. You can see it in his eyes. You can hear it in his lack of breath. "Breathtaking" Ricky points out somewhat needlessly. "I will do my best to explore other genres with you. Is that ok?"
It's ok, but it's Seal time. And he's bringing his A game. "That was a stellar performance," he begins before asking "what is it you feel has held you back?"
Cue the emotional backstory. Luke says he was diagnosed with a depressive illness two years ago. Seal asks for details. Luke explains he couldn't get off the couch and was crying all the time.
Seal says the good news is you are doing better, which gets a laugh. Then Seal admits he had severe anxiety attacks and depression at age 22.
I have to say, if anyone believes this conversation wasn't set up by the producers, there's a Zimbabwean prince who would love to talk to you, but Seal is clearly genuine in his desire to work with Luke.
Joel, whose own tough start in life is well documented, talks about us all having our s---, but moving on. Joel's here to lighten the mood.
"Your voice is like butter, put it on anything and it tastes good."
Joel is "on one" and he's riffing well. He gets Seal singing Crazy. Joel explains that he thinks Seal would be the perfect coach.
Game, freaking, on.
Ricky is up. He is not giving up on Luke. "I feel your pain because I've been there," he says to Luke. "I feel your pain too," he says to Seal and nearly threatens to add to it if he doesn't give him Luke. "It's about writing your next chapter. I've been there man."
It's IMPASSIONED plea time. "Please, please, allow me to take you there."
Delta senses she's missed this boat but rightly wants to note she is meant to at least get a go. She says she got goose bumps but is laughing as she says that because Joel said go Seal she says go Ricky.
Luke has a tough choice. "I'm absolutely spoiled for choice. I have to pick one." He picks Ricky.
And Ricky goes off!
With a "Let's have fun man" he jumps up. He's hugging Luke, he's dancing across the set, he's hugging Seal. Now he's up in Seal's arms, climbing him like a tree. Joel is loving it, tries to join in and suddenly I realise that JOEL IS INCREDIBLY SHORT and can't reach! Delta comes over to hug the big ball of man love.
Back in his chair, Ricky explains that he's been looking for "that sound." And by explain, I mean he repeats that one phrase over and over. And over. Because he's been looking for that sound. He found the sound.
And he can't believe it's butter.
FINAL STANDINGS: Ricky 7, Joel 8, Delta 6, Seal 6 despite turning a lot of chairs tonight.

The King Creativity Fund, annually supports "innovative and visionary projects" of enrolled students, supporting multiple projects every academic year with grant awards ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
Creative projects may be carried out on- or off-campus. Previously funded projects may provide some guidance into the range of possible topics, but the purpose of this fund is to encourage students to be creative and to think outside of the box.
Grants are awarded by a committee composed of students, interested faculty, and an administrative advisor. Student members are selected from among those students previously awarded a King Creativity Fund grant.
Committee members base awards on creative merit, the soundness of the proposal, feasibility, potential for educational enhancement, qualifications of the student project directors, and budget projections.

Topic: New Member, caring for my Mom
I am so glad to have found a place to talk with others who understand this disease.
My mom who is 68, was diagnosed in June of this year with advanced, stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma. She has tumors in her liver, the pole of her right kidney, the head of her pancreas and scattered through out the biliary tract.
We began chemo in the hospital in July after she had stents placed in her liver, pancreas and one other near her gall bladder.
Chemo has been carbo/gemzar week 1 along with seeing the doctor, gemzar on week 2 and off on week 3. Other than a terrible reaction to the neulasta which she no longer gets, side effects have been minimal. She has been suffering with digestive/bowel issues which we are not sure are related to the treatment, the cancer or both.
Her 3 month scans showed REMARKABLE shrinkage in all of the tumors with the exception of the one on the kidney pole. That did shrink but not as drastically as the rest.
We saw the doctor recently and he told us that he would re-scan in December and would most likely discontinue chemo at that point. I am not sure how I feel about that. Not sure if that is normal procedure or not.
This Friday we will be seeing the surgeon who wants to remove the stents. Again not too sure how I feel about any of this, either.
We will be seeing a urologist November 5 to get a second opinion on the kidney issue. She has inflammation in the left kidney as well as the tumor on the right one.
I hope I have not rambled too much here!
I am an only child and Mom's only caregiver so finding this board has been such a blessing to me!
Thank you all

NEW YORK — The effort to move New York's produce terminal market into the 21st century continues — but at a slow pace.
Talks to modernize the aging Hunts Point Terminal Market began in 2000 when the market was 33 years old.
Matthew D'Arrigo, market co-chairman and vice president of D'Arrigo Bros. Co. of New York Inc., said the move to gain wholesalers a redevelopment deal involves a long process.
He said the professional firm working on behalf of the merchants remains in talks with city officials on a daily basis and personally meets with city officials weekly.
"We are working very hard to finalize what would be the design of the new market," D'Arrigo said. "We are concurrently working on a financial plan that is affordable to the merchants."
Though it's a long process, D'Arrigo said the market is making progress. He said the wholesaler board of directors recently received a full briefing on the situation by the redevelopment specialists representing its interests.
"There is a lot of work with much to be done," he said.
"But steady, positive work is being done with the city on this. Hopefully, we will know what our future holds sometime in 2012."
D'Arrigo said it is too early to make any comment on what that deal may resemble.
He said operators are trying to gain the best deal possible for vendors. D'Arrigo said that includes not ruling out a possible move to another state.
One thing is certain, however: The 500,000-square-foot market needs new operations to adapt to modern food safety requirements.
"There are a lot of dynamics in the world of food safety. We don't want to be in a 45-year-old facility and trying to compete with some of the things that are out there in the near future in terms of the Produce Traceability Initiative and the Food Safety Modernization Act.
"If the government is going to start playing an active role in how our industry and middlemen operate, you need to have a good facility. It's long overdue and the right timing."

This review is from AVERY Get the Job Done with Action Binder Clips:
The step by step steps are a dream.
Easy to follow, and gets the job done, if you have all that pieces.
I find Avery's step by step steps to be consistently follow-able.
I think the labels for the binders. But I must admit, I'm on the uber planner scale, there are those who would say, why bother with the little detail of putting a label on a binder clip.
For those who don't, try it, and see how much more organized you are, and how easily it will be to know what you've clipped together.

In petroleum markets, October is typically the time when attention shifts from transportation fuels to heating fuels. Strong global distillate demand and refinery outages have supported prompt distillate prices relative to those in the future. In its October 2012 Short-Term Energy and Winter Fuels Outlook the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is projecting that retail heating oil prices will average $3.80 per gallon this winter (October-March), which would be $0.07 per gallon above last winter's average of $3.73 per gallon, and the highest on record. Historically, heading into winter, heating oil prices for future delivery are higher than those for current delivery, encouraging inventory builds. However, this year, prices for future delivery are below current prices, so there is little if any incentive to buy product now and store it for sale later in the winter.
As the northern hemisphere prepares for winter, the demand for distillate fuels is typically strong as consumers fill tanks in preparation for the heating season. This year, as has been the case for the last several years, the seasonal increase in demand is occurring against a backdrop of tight global distillate markets in which supply and demand centers are geographically mismatched. Europe and Latin America produce less distillate fuels than they consume and have been relying on supply from the United States, mostly exports from the U.S. Gulf Coast. This trade has been mutually beneficial because it has provided U.S. refiners with an attractive market that has encouraged high refinery utilization, which also has supported the production of additional gasoline.
The tightness in global distillate markets is reflected in both the futures market prices and inventory levels in the United States. While U.S. distillate production is high, the global supply-demand balance for distillate fuels has created a price structure that has not encouraged inventory builds. In recent weeks, prompt prices for distillate fuel have risen compared to prices for fuel delivered in future months. For the week ending October 5, distillate inventories in the U.S. Northeast (PADDs 1A and 1B) were 28.3 million barrels, about 21.5 million barrels (43 percent) below their five-year average level (Figure 1). Distillate inventories have historically been used to meet normal winter heating demand but are also an important source of supply when demand surges as a result of unexpected or extreme cold spells. The low distillate inventories could contribute to heating oil price volatility this winter. In addition, outages at several major refineries, notably Petroleos de Venezuela's Amuay Refinery, Shell Oil's Pernis Refinery in the Netherlands, and Irving Oil's Saint John Refinery in Canada, have added to the fundamental market pressures in the Atlantic Basin.
Market tightness could be exacerbated by a regulatory change in New York state, which starting this heating season limits the sulfur content of home heating oil to 15 parts per million (ppm), matching the sulfur content limit for ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD). This change results in an estimated additional 70,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of ULSD demand on an annual basis, but in times of peak demand - such as during sustained cold temperatures - could be as high as 170,000 bbl/d (See EIA Northeast Refinery Study). The specification change also eliminates an equivalent amount of demand for high-sulfur heating oil, which is the specification currently used in other northeastern states. This demand shift could be significant because ULSD is less available globally than is high-sulfur distillate fuel and the major production center for ULSD is on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Some factors could work to bring supplies to the Northeast as winter approaches. One is the late-September restart of Delta Air Lines' (Monroe Energy LLC) 185,000-bbl/d Trainer Refinery near Philadelphia, which had been idle for the past year. Some additional production could become available if other Northeast refineries increase runs in response to the current strong distillate margins. Additionally, the U.S. East Coast exported an average of 135,000 bbl/d of distillate fuel in 2012 through July. However, prices in the Northeast have recently risen compared with European markets. Heating oil in New York Harbor typically sells at a discount to similar fuel in northwest Europe, which prompts flows of distillate from the East Coast to Europe. But in recent weeks, that spread has flipped and New York Harbor distillate is selling at a small premium to European distillate. This change in price spreads could help keep some distillate in the domestic market. More supplies could also result from Colonial Pipeline's completion of a recent 55,000-bbl/d capacity expansion of a dedicated distillate pipeline from Houston, Texas, to Greensboro, North Carolina. Colonial is also expanding capacity by an additional 60,000-bbl/d from Greensboro to Linden, New Jersey, and that capacity could come online as early as the first quarter of 2013.
Besides factors unique to the distillate market, crude oil prices are a major determinant of heating oil prices. Brent spot prices are expected to average about $108 per barrel this winter, about 6 percent lower than last winter.
Weather will be the major factor affecting demand, and, thus, could also cause prices to vary significantly from the EIA forecast. Although the residential market share for heating oil has been declining as more consumers favor other primary heating fuels, consumption can still vary greatly based on weather. This year, winter temperatures are expected to return closer to normal levels after last year's very mild weather. Based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather forecast, EIA projects population-weighted U.S. heating degree days will be about 18 percent higher than last winter, which was the fourth warmest winter on record and the warmest since 1999-2000, but about 2 percent lower than the 30-year (1971-2000) average. Heating degree day projections vary between different regions. For example, heating degree days in the Northeast, which includes about 80 percent of all households that use heating oil as their primary heating fuel, are projected to be about 20 percent higher than last winter. However, any variation in actual weather from the forecast could cause demand to vary.

Local tea party enthusiasts encouraged the commission to voice opposition to two of the activists' pet peeves: the United Nations' Agenda 21 and gun control.
Local tea party enthusiasts on Tuesday encouraged the Marion County Commission to voice opposition to two of the activists' pet peeves: the United Nations' Agenda 21 and gun control.
First up was Sparr resident Steve Hunter, who asked the board to ratify a resolution opposing Agenda 21, the UN's 300-page report, unveiled at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, that spells out proposals for tackling a number of environmental matters.
Hunter's proposed resolution referred to Agenda 21 as a "plan of extreme environmentalism, social engineering and global political control," whose "destructive and insidious" concept was to undermine private property rights, to include owning a home and a car, under the guise of "sustainable development."
Hunter's document, which he read aloud, advocated that the board not only reaffirm its support for private property rights, but also publicly state its opposition to the policies of Agenda 21.
That would include not sending county employees to any "green" training rooted in concepts like "sustainability," "smart growth," or "Future Earth," and terminating within a year or rejecting any future federal or state grants that appear under the same umbrellas.
In a related request, Summerfield resident Roger Knechtel urged the board to publicly support the Second Amendment.
Commissioners could do so by passing his proposed resolution and pledging to nullify any federal law, executive order, or regulation deemed to conflict with the "true meaning and intent" of the Second Amendment.
"We have to take a stand," Knechtel told the commission.
But Minter, the county attorney, objected, saying the board's taking such a position could expose the county to "quite a bit of legal problems."
He noted that state and local governments are bound by the U.S. Constitution to submit to rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"If we here in Marion County decide that we think somebody else's interpretation of the Constitution is different than ours, (that) we're going to do what we want to do, the government doesn't work that way," said Minter.
The attorney pointed out that he himself is a member of the National Rifle Association, and while he understood that gun control is an "emotional" issue, he added, "You can't respond to an emotional issue that you think is at one extreme by going to the other extreme."
He suggested that by adopting the resolution the commission would create the expectation that the county would act on it, and land repeatedly in court litigating federal gun laws it doesn't approve of. Better instead, he said, that the board make its disagreement know by appeals to its congressional delegation.

Shakir Soto got the sweetest news on Valentine's Day.
The Wilkes-Barre (Pa.) G.A.R. Memorial defensive end landed his first offer from Boston College.
"That was my first one," Soto said.
"The first time they ever contacted me I got invited to junior day and then a couple weeks later they e-mailed me and said they have something interesting to talk with me about so I called them and they offered me."
Soto, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound prospect, has been offered by Boston College, Temple, Kent State and UMass so far and the Northeast Pennsylvania prospect is planning to take two visits this weekend.
He will visit Boston College and UMass and is definitely looking forward to seeing the campus and meeting with assistant coach Jeff Comissiong and the other coaches. Soto has mainly been talking with Comissiong but hopes to meet coach Frank Spaziani and the other BC coaches.
Soto was invited to Boston College's recent junior day but he couldn't make it because he was taking the SAT that day. That's why he's so excited about heading up there this weekend.
"I'm really interested in Boston College," Soto said.
"I want to see what the environment is like. The players aren't going to be there so I can't really talk to anyone there but I'm going to get a little tour and meet all the coaches and talk to them."
Other than his four offers, Soto said he's heard a lot from Rutgers and Maryland and could visit both of those schools soon.
Soto has also been invited to Illinois this spring but he's unsure whether he can make that trip.

The Library begins a new fiscal year on July 1, and with it comes several policy changes that will affect some patrons. We want to give everyone a heads up in June about these coming changes, which the Library Board of Trustees approved April 27.
This change will affect about 2,900 households outside of Greene County that have non-resident memberships. The increase will go into effect with each individual household membership's renewal date.
The cost is changing, but not the benefits: Each non-resident membership entitles all family members living there to have their own card and enjoy all the Library's checkout privileges and services. Currently, some 5,400 non-resident children, teens and adults have cards through those 2,900 non-resident household memberships.
Why the increase? The average Greene County household pays $65 in property tax to support the district. The Library seeks only to ask non-residents who enjoy the benefits to pay the same amount.
The last fee increase was in 2003, when the cost went from $30 to $50. That fee has roughly kept pace with what an average Greene County household pays in property tax to support the Library. Property tax bills have grown over the years; today $65 represents the average Greene County household's tax bill that supports the library district.
The Library historically has not charged for this service. The $10 fee remains competitive in the Springfield-Greene County market. All other practices regarding test proctoring will remain the same.
Previously, patrons were restricted from using the public computers once they reached $50 in fines/fees. Lowering the maximum cap to $10 is consistent with the cap for all other borrowed materials.
Please feel free to talk to a staff member or to Associate Director Jim Schmidt if you have any questions or concerns. He can be reached at 616-0587, or email@example.com.

This post was written by Gary Devendorf, a Program Manager on the Access team. The accompanying video features Doug Taylor, also a Program Manager.
Access 2013 is all about enabling you to build data-centric business apps on the web. Frequently, the data you care about—a customer list, a product spreadsheet, or a legacy Access database—already exists somewhere else. How can you get this data into your Access web app? Obviously, copying each record would take a long time. That's where data import can be a huge time saver.
Access 2013 web databases support importing data from a variety of sources. Check out a few of the options by opening your web database in Access and clicking "Table" in the ribbon. From, there, under "Create a table from an existing source," you'll find a variety of options, including Excel, SQL Server, SharePoint, and previous versions of Access.
Data import includes more than simply copying data from one source to another. For example, if you import from an existing Access database, you get table definitions, relationships, and views, so you can start interacting with your imported data immediately.
When your existing data is from an unstructured source, such as Excel or a text file, you can use Access to help you clean up your data and normalize it. Imagine that you want to import an excel spreadsheet that looks something like the one below:
In one column, you have a list of national parks. In another, you have a list of states in which the parks are located. Notice how the state names are frequently repeated. If you wanted a unified view of the parks in each state, this way of organizing things could easily create problems. Adding more structure to this data could help guard against data entry errors, such as spelling mistakes in the state name, which would make analyzing the parks by state difficult.
For this example, we are going to break the import into two steps. First, we're going to create a new blank desktop Access database. We'll import the Excel data and use the Table Analyzer Wizard to clean it up and add structure. Then, we'll import the tables into an Access 2013 Web Database. (The reason for this two step process is that the Table Analyzer Wizard is currently only available in desktop databases. If we simply wanted to copy the data from Excel without cleanup, we could import directly into the web app).
First, create a new desktop database by opening Access 2013 and clicking "Blank desktop database." In the ribbon, select the "External Data" tab, and click "Excel" in the "Import & Link" section. We'll tell Access the location of our Excel file and choose to import the source data into a new table.
The next dialog shows the data found in our Excel spreadsheet and asks if the first row contains column headings. If the first row did have column headings, such as "Park" or "State," Access would use them to name the table fields. In our case they do not. Click "Next".
The import wizard lets you specify what parts of the spreadsheet you would like to import. We one have data only in Sheet1, so we can simply click "Next".
Notice below that the wizard is naming the columns, "Field1" and "Field2", and has assigned the datatype "Short Text" to Field1. Access inspects the first 10 rows and tries to intelligently determine the appropriate data type. You can change that assignment, specify it as an index, or even skip the column all together. Hightlight the next column to see or change its options. Click "Next" when done.
Now that the fields are defined, Access will ask us how to handle primary keys. If you're not familiar with the concept of a key, don't worry—the default choice ("Let Access add primary key") is almost always the one you want.
On the last screen of the import wizard, we'll supply a name for the new table and choose to run the Table Analyzer Wizard so that we can clean it up and add some structure.
The wizard provides some helpful dialogues to explain how it works. We'll click "Next" until we arrive at this screen:
By selecting "Yes, let the wizard decide," we're asking Access to intelligently suggest the best way of cleaning up our data. Let's click "Next" and see what Access comes up with:
In our case, Access is suggesting that we break up the data into two tables and create a relationship between them. One of the tables will contain a list of the states. The other will contain a list of the parks, and a second column that references the states table. Notice the wizard shows a "1" on the right side of the relationship and the symbol for infinity on the left. This means that there is a "one to many" relationship between the tables where you could have many Park names for one State name.
A final check of the data shows that there may be an error. Remember that the State names are listed multiple times in the original spreadsheet as a state can have several national parks in it. It looks like Arkansas, in at least one case, is spelled "-kansaw". The wizard is asking us decide what to do with this case.
Finally, the last question is whether to create a Query that joins the tables together.
After we are done with the wizard, the result is a desktop Access database with three tables and a query. The original imported table is renamed with "_OLD" added. The new query is called by the original table name "MyNewTable" (queries act very much like tables). The tables that came from splitting the original data (Parks and State) are also present. Notice the State table has links to the national parks found in those states.
The last step is to save this Desktop database and import it into your new Access 2013 web app. Go to File > New > Custom web app. Select a location for your app, and click "Create." Click the "Table" button on the ribbon and select "Access" under the "Create a table from an existing data source." You can import the desktop database that you just finished creating. Since you took advantage of the Table Analyzer wizard in the desktop database, your data is cleaner and more structured than it would be if you had simply imported directly into the web app.
Importing brings in external data, structured or unstructured, and adds structure when needed. You don't need to know about complex relational database issues like normality or referential integrity. You can quickly customize generated views or just use them as is. By moving your data from its old location into your Access 2013 web app, you can take advantage of the easy to use interface and simple sharing that comes built-in.
Try it out for yourself using the Office 365 preview. In order to try out Access 2013 Web Apps, be sure to choose one of the plans for business: Small Business Premium or Enterprise.

This section helps you respond to (answer) a request for a domestic violence restraining order. Read the introduction to the Domestic Violence section to get more information about domestic violence restraining orders and the restraining order court process.
A domestic violence restraining order is a court order that helps protect people from abuse or threats of abuse.
It can order you to:
1. Read the order carefully. If you disobey the order, you can go to jail or be fined.
2. Read How Can I Respond to a Request for Domestic Violence Restraining Order? (Form DV-120-INFO).
3. Go to the court hearing on the restraining order. The hearing date is on the Notice of Court Hearing (Form DV-109).
4. If you want to tell your side of the story, file an answer BEFORE your court date.
5. If you need protection from the person who filed a restraining order against you, you can ask for a restraining order against them (even if they asked for one against you first). But you cannot ask for your order in your response to their restraining order. You have to fill out your own request. Follow the instructions for Ask for a Restraining Order.
You do not need a lawyer to respond to a restraining order. BUT it is a good idea to have a lawyer, especially if you have children. And having a restraining order issued against you can have very serious consequences, so by having a lawyer you can protect your rights as best as possible. Click for help finding a lawyer. If you want to ask for the other side to pay your lawyer's fees, read the instructions to ask for lawyer's fees in domestic violence cases.
Your court's family law facilitator or self-help center may also be able to help you respond to the restraining order, or at least help you with any child support or spousal/partner support issues you may have.
IMPORTANT! If you also have a criminal case related to the abuse or violence in this case, it is very important you talk to a lawyer. Anything you say or write in the domestic violence restraining order case can be used against you in your criminal case.
If you decide to respond to (answer) the request for the restraining order, follow these steps:
STEP 1. Fill Out Your Response and Prepare to File
STEP 2. File and Serve Your Response
STEP 3. Get Ready and Go to Your Court Hearing
STEP 4. After the Court Hearing
1. Fill out your response forms
Fill out:
2. Other forms you may need to fill out
If the protected person asked for child support, fill out:
Read Which Financial Form — FL-155 or FL-150? (Form DV-570) to find out if you can use the simpler Form FL-155.
If the protected person asked for spousal, partner, or family support, fill out:
3. Fill out your court's local forms (if any)
Ask your local court clerk if there are local forms you have to fill out. Some courts also have forms on their website. Find your local court's website.
4. Have your forms reviewed
If your court's family law facilitator or self-help center helps people with restraining orders, ask them to review your paperwork. They can make sure you filled out your Response properly. Even if they cannot help you with the restraining order response form, they can help you with the child support and spousal/partner support forms.
5. Make at least 2 copies of all your forms
One copy will be for you; another copy will be for the protected person. The original is for the court.
Once you have filled out all your forms, you have to file them with the court and "serve" (give a copy to) the protected persons. Both filing your Response and "serving" it have to be done before your deadline.
1. File your Response and other forms in court
Take the original and 2 copies of your forms to the court clerk to file them. The court clerk will keep the original and return both copies to you, stamped "Filed." There is NO FEE for you to do this.
2. Serve the protected person with a copy of your forms
You must get someone 18 or older (NOT YOU) to mail a copy of your Response and other papers to the protected person. The person who does this is called the "server" or "process server."
3. File your proof of service
Have your server fill out a Proof of Service by Mail (CLETS) (Form DV-250) and give it to you. Then, you file it with the court and keep a copy for yourself. This form tells the judge that the protected person got a copy of your Response.
This section will tell you how to get ready for your hearing. Read Get Ready for the Restraining Order Court Hearing (Form DV-520-INFO) for more information.
Be prepared:
Do not miss your hearing!
If you miss it, the judge can make the orders without hearing from you.
Get there 30 minutes early:
Practice what you want to say in response to what the protected person said in the request:
During your hearing, the judge may ask questions
If there are child custody and visitation issues in your case:
At the end of the hearing, the judge will say what the orders are. The judge may:
- You need more time to get a lawyer or prepare an answer.
- The judge wants more information.
- Your hearing is taking longer than planned.
See Going to Court to read more information about how to prepare for your court hearing.
If the judge issues a restraining order against you at the hearing, or any type of orders, you MUST follow them. If you do not, you can be arrested.
You will be served with the Restraining Order After Hearing (Order of Protection) (CLETS — OAH) (Form DV-130) within a few days of your court date, by mail or in person. If anything on the DV-130 form is different from what the judge ordered, talk to the court clerk right away to see what you can do. If the clerk cannot help you, talk to a lawyer right away. Or talk to your court's family law facilitator or self-help center to see if there is anything they can help you with.
If a restraining order was issued against you and you were ordered to complete a 52-week batterer intervention program, you have to fill out Proof of Enrollment for Batterer Intervention Program (Form DV-805) and file it with the court. You must do this by the date the judge orders on Form DV-130 or, if no specific date, no later than 30 days after the judge made the order. Once you start your program, you can use the Batterer Intervention Program Progress Report (Form DV-815) to provide updates to the court on your program participation.
And remember, if the restraining order was issued, you CANNOT own, possess, or have a gun or firearm while the order is in effect. If you have a gun now, you have to turn it in to the police or sell it to a gun dealer. Read How Do I Turn In, Sell, or Store My Firearms? (Form DV-800-INFO).
It can be difficult to find free or low-cost legal help if you are responding to a request for a domestic violence restraining order. But you should still try since legal aid agencies have different guidelines, and your local bar association may have a volunteer lawyer program that can help you. Click for help finding a lawyer.
Your court's family law facilitator or self-help center may also be able to help you respond to the restraining order. If they cannot help with the restraining order, they can at least help you with any child support or spousal/partner support issues you may have.
Batterer Intervention Program Information
You can find batterer intervention programs in your area at: California Department of Public Health Violence Prevention Resource Directory which lists help by county.
If you need a court-approved batterer intervention program, contact your county probation department.

Study Abroad Programs 2017
Many students find it necessary to secure funding in order to pay for a study abroad program. The majority of New England Law students attending a summer program will choose to study abroad during the summer term, but the information below can also apply to students studying abroad during the academic year or visiting out at another school at any time. Below is an outline of the application and processing procedures in order to obtain a loan:
1. Eligible Loan Programs: Graduate PLUS loans are available for summer study abroad programs. A Stafford Loan may be a possibility only if not fully utilized during the academic year.
2. Registration Status: For the Galway program, students will be provided with information regarding the official budget and loan application procedure once your second deposit is received by the law school.
For all other summer study abroad programs, all current 1Ls attending any summer program (other than Galway) and 2Ls or higher attending a non-Consortium summer program must request approval from Melissa Mecchi in the Office of the Registrar to attend and to have credits transferred to New England Law. Upon approval, please email our office a copy of your acceptance to the summer program from the host school. The acceptance information you forward to us should include the name of the host school, country of summer program, contact name, address and phone number, and number of credit hours.
Upon receipt of this information, a Consortium Agreement will be sent by the Office of Financial Aid to the school hosting the student's summer program. A Consortium Agreement is essentially an understanding between the two schools with respect to financial aid, confirming your enrollment and the official summer program budget. We do not accept any copy of a program budget that does not come directly from the host school on a Consortium Agreement.
The Consortium Agreement will also provide the costs for the program. The total cost of the program indicated on the Consortium Agreement is the maximum amount of loan a student can borrow. Students must be registered for at least 3 credits in order to apply for a Grad PLUS loan; less than 3 credits in summer is considered less than half-time enrollment and your only loan option will be a private loan, which is credit-based and not guaranteed.
3. Loan Request and Disbursement Process: Students attending the Galway program will be notified by the Office of Financial Aid via email of when to begin the loan process. For all other programs, once a completed Consortium Agreement has been returned to the Office of Financial Aid, the student will be contacted via email regarding their budget and the process to initiate the loan request.
Disbursement of Federal Stafford/Grad PLUS loans will be made up to10 days prior to the start of your specific summer program. Students should keep in mind that some programs may have earlier payment deadlines, which they will be responsible for. In addition, Grad PLUS loans are credit based, so approval is not guaranteed. The Grad PLUS Loan has a 4.276% loan origination fee applied at disbursement. If you will not be in the Boston area at the time of disbursement, please make arrangements with the Office of Student Accounts to have the check mailed to you or released to someone who can deposit it for you.
Please note: the student is responsible for making any necessary payments to the host school of their program. If you are attending the Galway Program and borrowing federal loans to cover your expenses, payment to New England Law will be automatic; if you are attending any other study-abroad program, New England Law does NOT make tuition payments to your host school for you.
4. Miscellaneous: Since a separate summer budget is used for the student's summer loan it has no bearing on their eligibility for aid in the following year. The summer budget includes funding for housing abroad; it cannot include funding for upkeep of a local Boston area apartment while you are studying abroad.

Old World Industries, a leader in automotive aftermarket products, has announced the sponsorships of professional bass anglers Fred Roumbanis and Andrew Upshaw, featuring the company's PEAK Antifreeze and BlueDEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid flagship brands.
Roumbanis, 35, plans to compete in both the Bassmaster Elite Series and FLW Tour trails this year. His boat and truck wrap will feature BlueDEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid as his title sponsor and PEAK Antifreeze as a secondary sponsor.
Upshaw, 26, who will fish FLW Tour events and other tournaments, will feature PEAK Antifreeze as his title sponsor and BlueDEF Diesel Exhaust Fluid as a secondary sponsor on his boat and truck.
"Our company has a history of sponsorships, but mostly around motorsports activities," said Sean Wheatley, senior brand manager for PEAK/BlueDEF. "We know for a fact though that those who enjoy the outdoors are also the same active do-it-yourselfers who like to change their own oil, antifreeze, and otherwise tinker with their trucks. Hunters and anglers are typically high mileage drivers who take pride in their vehicle care because they do so greatly depend on them for their passion sports participation.
"We simply believe fishing is a good fit for us and we're excited to prove our interest in active outdoors enthusiasts through these relationships. I'm confident Fred and Andrew will represent us well on and off the water."

text: WVU won't play the 'trap' game By Dave Hickman October 9, 2012 Story Share AP Photo Texas Tech safety Cody Davis, shown intercepting a pass against Iowa State, leads the Red Raiders in solo tackles (29) and has two picks for 88 yards. Texas Tech is No. 2 in the country in total defense and No. 1 in pass defense. AP Photo Texas Tech safety Cody Davis, shown intercepting a pass against Iowa State, leads the Red Raiders in solo tackles (29) and has two picks for 88 yards. Texas Tech is No. 2 in the country in total defense and No. 1 in pass defense. MORGANTOWN - Dana Holgorsen doesn't want to hear the term "trap game'' used in regard to the trip his No. 5 West Virginia football team is taking this week. As far as he's concerned, the concept is a foreign one, as if he didn't even know the meaning of the word.No, really."I don't know what a trap game means, to be honest with you,'' Holgorsen said Tuesday at his weekly session with the media. "What does that mean?''Well, OK, here it is:In the past two weeks, the Mountaineers have played their first-ever Big 12 game, a 70-63 win over Baylor, and won 48-45 in front of the largest and loudest crowd ever at storied Texas.A week from Saturday comes a return home to face Kansas State, a game that will be televised nationally in prime time and could very well be the first game between top-five teams ever played in Morgantown.And in between? Well, there's Saturday's trip to Lubbock, Texas, to face a Texas Tech team that was just handed its oversized hat by Oklahoma 41-20. Well, Holgorsen had a rebuttal at the ready. You want to know what a trap is? It's walking into 60,454-seat Jones AT&T Stadium for Saturday's 3:30 p.m. game that will be televised by ABC."Did you feel like our game against Baylor was good from an atmosphere standpoint?'' Holgorsen asked rhetorically. "Well, that's what it will be like at Texas Tech. They've got 60-some thousand people that care about their football and I would assume that will be pretty rowdy as well.''Holgorsen, of course, knows of what he speaks. Not only did he coach on those sidelines in Lubbock for eight years, he's returned there as an opponent.Yes, Texas Tech may have slipped last week against Oklahoma. But the Red Raiders were also 4-0 prior to that and with the No. 1 ranked defense in the country. And imagine that the Red Raiders are hosting the No. 5 team in the country, a newcomer to the Big 12, it's homecoming and Holgorsen is returning. There are obviously more than a few reasons for Texas Tech to be jacked up about this one."That's the beauty of being in the Big 12. Every game's like that,'' Holgorsen said. "Now, was Texas a little bit above and beyond based on 101,000 [people in the stands]? Yes. [Texas coach Mack] Brown even said it was their greatest environment ever. Well, that environment exists. We need to get used to being in those types of environments and having those types of games."And that's pretty cool. That's why we wanted to be in the Big 12. If they thought that was fun, well, get ready. We've got another one this week.''Tech certainly has the capability of beating West Virginia. The Mountaineers are just a 31/2-point favorite and will face an offense well equipped to give its shaky defense fits (No. 7 in the country in passing and No. 15 in total offense). And Tech's defense still ranks No. 1 in the nation against the pass and No. 2 overall. So the idea is to treat this one the same as all the others."I don't understand what a trap game is. You play the same every week,'' Holgorsen said. "If you don't have the ability to understand that every week is the same - and that we've got to trust our players and coaches and everybody that's involved to be able to do the same thing every week - you get beat. And that's whether it's a trap game or a quote-unquote big game."It's a game. All it is is a game. You prepare the same way and have the ability to play the same every week.''BRIEFLY: Holgorsen once again had no real information on the availability of Shawne Alston for this week.He did insist that the running back's bruised thigh was "the only issue'' keeping him out of the lineup."Like I said last week, we gave it a go for a couple of days and it didn't work and we didn't travel him,'' Holgorsen said. "He stayed home, got treatment Friday, Saturday and Sunday, he's been in there getting treatment [Monday]. So we'll see what he looks like.''

HOUSTON, TEX. — Designed to be an inspirational space for both employees and clients, the new office of Ziegler Cooper features 65-ft.-high cathedral ceilings over a highly open and collaborative studio space. This centralization of design studios places leadership in direct communication with professional staff. Museum-like display walls and a centrally located Innovation Lounge encourage creativity, while a Critics Corner fosters dialogue about the creative process. Cutting edge technology and interactive digital displays are located throughout the space and meeting areas. The Ziegler Cooper Café features a cyber-lounge with grouped soft seating and bar area, creating a hospitality feel. A well-organized Resource Lab ensures the most up-to-date products are accessed for project use. The office design is expected to receive a LEED Gold level of certification.
