— Mary Allen Hardison, a 101-year-old grandmother from Ogden, Utah, has officially been recognized as the "Oldest Female to Paraglide Tandem" — an achievement described Tuesday by Guinness World Records as a "celebration of the official start of spring and life rejuvenated."
Hardison took up paragliding "on a whim," as she did not want to be outdone by her 75-year-old son, Allen, who had recently pursued the sport as a hobby. "I didn't want him to do something that I couldn't do," Hardison said. She chose to have her record-breaking accomplishment be part of her 101st birthday celebration, which was last September.
The trip was a tandem one, with paragliding instructor Kevin Hintze guiding the journey. He described Hardison as "hard-core."
Hardison seems to be known for her resolve. Her granddaughter, Diane Swain, told KSL-TV of Salt Lake City, "My initial reaction was, 'No, you can't let her.' Then I thought, 'No, I know my grandma well enough to know that if she wants to do it, she's going to do it.' "
Hardison told TODAY.com that the paragliding itself was fun and her ride went smoothly. "You just go up, very slowly, just like an elevator," she said. "While I was paragliding there was a little bump or two, not very much, not nearly as much as an airplane ... but life has its ups and downs, so I guess paragliding can have a little up and down too."
She said she wasn't at all afraid because she saw so many people go up, enjoy the experience and come down without incident.
The now-famous grandmother is new to adventure sports, unless you count riding all the rides at Disneyland, which she did at age 90. She said she doesn't plan to take up any additional sports in her immediate future — but she confessed that she'd love to go down the 3,000-foot Alpine Slide at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort.
"If the spirit moves me, if I get an inkling, I'll go in a minute," Hardison said.
Hardison's life revolves around four generations of her family. She also keeps busy knitting caps for sick children and premature babies, as well as crocheting bandages for leopards in India.
She said she finds it "humorous" that so much has been made of her paragliding, but she hopes her achievement will encourage other people her age to get out and stay active. She encouraged the elderly to keep going and stay positive because, as she put it, "Friends don't like a grumpy person."
She doesn't want to hold her world record for long. "If you are able and even older than I, then I'm happy for people to attempt to break my record. I promise the experience will be well worth it!"
Hardison's new record beats out the previous record-holder, Margaret Mackenzie McAlpine of the United Kingdom, who went paragliding in Cyprus in 2007 at the age of 100.

I have a text area at my site.This site has a menu bar in the left and in the centre is that text area.In some resolutions of the screen there is a horizontal scrollbar for the text.Is there a way with css to "disappear" this scrollbar ?
A link would be nice.
But i'll guess that you have fixed dimensions set for that "text area" and that is almost certainly the problem.
Yes, also there is a "subdiv" having some text in some pages....with fix width/height.So there is no way,maybe to have smaller font-size.
I suppose that you could use media queries to detect screen size and scale text accordingly, but that's just weird.
I would advise you to take a step back and review your layout and find a solution that doesn't require, at least, for that text container to have a fixed height.
Once again if you could provide a link to your work, it would be a lot easier to give suggestions.
The work is not ours.But the client ask us to give bigger width at the layout for this.For example this maybe have horizontal scrollbar (the text at the center) at some resolutions...
You could hide the horizontal scrollbar for most browsers like this:
.content_text_submenu {
overflow: auto;
Of course it will be up to you to decide whether that causes content to be clipped or not.
Well it really boils down to this: either the container stretches to fit the content, or the content is tailored to fit the container.
I strongly advise against changing font-size based on screen size. Giving smaller text to users with smaller screens is not a proper solution.
Yes as said above you should not rely on having the text small just so that you don't get a scrollbar.
The size of text is unlikely to be the issue that a scrollbar appears anyway and the culprit is usually that when the vertical scrollbar kicks in it steals some real estate from the fixed width div and thus causes the horizontal scrollbar as well.
You should nest an inner div inside the overflow div and make it about 20px approx smaller than the parent to allow a scrollbar to pop in and out easily.
However, I didn't notice a horizontal scrollbar on that layout even when zooming text right up.

I just wanted to say that while I don't always agree with you, you are the most patient person on the PDGA board. I can barely stand to read they rules forum at the PDGA because every thread is the same.
1) Someone asks an innocent question
2) Someone answers the question correctly or incorrectly.
3) You post either confirming or correcting the above poster
4) someone calls you wrong. Bonus when they give some crazy situation that doesn't ever happen like in the 2 meter rule thread.
5) you correct them again.
6) they argue the point some more.
7) the thread finally dies after 30 pages of no body listening to anyone.
So good job not flipping out on everyone.
That forum is the worst.

Topic: Intro & Advice Needed
Posting this on behalf on my father (64 at the time) who was diangosed with CC in July last year after suffering from jaundice and severe itching which I'm sure you're all familiar with. Subsequent scans showned a tumour in the lower 1//4 of the bile duct and Whipple Procedure was recommended and conducted in late July last year.
Recovery from the surgery was difficult initially, however he now suffers from no ill effects or complications (diet has remained exactly the same).
Post surgery we learnt that the 6cm tumour hadn't spread to any other organs and was contained within the bile duct (also no lymph nodes showed any involvement with which we are fortunate). We were presented with the option of continuing without any treatment or running a course of chemo (which I'm fairly certain was Gemza). For more peace of mind that anything else we decided to proceed with the treatment.
The treatment proceeded well; however in the second last week of treatment he's CA19 markers had increased to around 70 and then the proceeding week up to 100 which prompted his oncologist to order an urgent CT Scan.
The subsequent scan was clear and we were told to run another set of bloods in 6 weeks, which we have just recently completed and again there has been an elevation in his CA19 markers (up to around 200 I believe). Advice moving forward from here has been that he appears to have microscopic cancer cells present and that we should sit back and wait until it presents itself before looking into further treatment (further tests and scans scheduled in July).
This doesn't really sit well with me, as I'd assume there could be something done in the meantime to try and negate what's happening... Surely sitting back and waiting can't be the best option?
Other than that Dad feels fine and doesn't have any issues at all.... all other blood results with the exception of his CA19 are perfect.
Personally, I'd like to get a second opinion on the best way of proceeding from here, if more for our own peace of mind than anything else.
Does anybody know if there are any dietary adjustments that could be made in order to potentially help?
We're based in Australia and being a fairly rare condition there doesn't seem to be too much information available or that many oncologists that would specialise in this area.

You can't be serious. Iraq is stable? Afghanistan is stable? Libya is stable? Yemen is stable? Pakistan is stable?
The basic idea historically was to send military support to the country requesting it.

Canes trade Westgarth to Calgary for Nemisz
Posted December 30, 2013
The Carolina Hurricanes, seeking a revival to their season, traded Kevin Westgarth to Calgary Monday in exchange for Greg Nemisz.
Nemisz, 23, is a former first-round draft pick of the Calgary Flames and made his NHL debut in 2011. A forward, he has skated in just 15 games at the NHL level, recording one assist. He also played for Team Canada in the 2010 World Junior Championship where he scored one goal in six contests.
The Canes said Monday that Nemisz will report to Charlotte to play with the Checkers of the AHL.
"Greg is a young player and a former first-round pick that we hope will continue to develop into a solid NHL player," said Hurricanes President and General Manager Jim Rutherford. "We thank Kevin for his time with the Hurricanes and wish him well."
In 32 games this season with Abbotsford, Nemisz has tallied nine points (four goals) while skating at a plus-5. Two of his goals have come on the power play.
Westgarth, 29, was set to become a free agent with Carolina at the end of the year and was earning $725,000 this season with the Hurricanes. He has not registered a point on the year while skating at a minus-2 in 12 games.
Nemisz contract with Calgary also paid him $725,000 as a non-roster player. He was set to become a restricted free agent at season's end.

Fosun Plays on Chinese Consumption in Europe
China's Fosun Group has been at the forefront of the Chinese private sector's push into Europe, but its chief executive says the group needs to see more than just bargain prices when sourcing deals.
Speaking at the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong on Monday, Liang Xinjun, CEO of the Shanghai-based conglomerate, said Fosun made a deliberate decision to go overseas to make investments, but it differs to its Chinese peers in that it is doing more than just "buying resources to bring back to China."
Armed with a belief that the Chinese consumer will continue to play an increasingly important role in driving economic growth, Mr. Liang said he is looking for "foreign companies that will benefit from [Chinese consumption]," particularly in the services sector.
To that end, Fosun has invested in European companies such as French resort operator Club Méditerranée SA, in which it has a 9.71% stake valued around 44 million euros.

Stalking the Tiger
Camilo Villegas's Early Success on the 2006 PGA Tour is Raising the Inevitable Question—Can He Challenge the World's No. 1 Golfer?
(continued from page 2)
Eddie Carbone, the executive tournament director, knew what the buzz was about. He had been sensing it for weeks. He had gotten e-mails and phone calls asking if a certain player would be in the field. He and his staff had been assuring people that, yes, this player would definitely be teeing it up. As Carbone stood outside the tournament office on Friday afternoon, a thunderous roar rolled across the Blue Monster. Carbone knew it wasn't for Tiger or Phil or Ernie or Sergio or Vijay.
He knew it could be for only one player: Camilo. Camilo? Yes, Camilo. Camilo Villegas. The newest, hottest player on the PGA Tour.
"He's going to be an international superstar," says Carbone, who's seen a lot of superstars. "He's going to reach out to the Spanish-speaking people around the world. Everybody's going to know who this kid is. He's special."
The sunlight will be fading soon in the atrium of a Houston airport hotel. A photographer is arranging a photo shoot of Villegas to catch the optimum light on his caramel skin and his glowing long tresses. Five young women in their early 20s pass by, most likely on their way to a workout room or a jog. They see Villegas changing shirts, his sculpted upper torso rippling, and they can't take their eyes off him. They have no idea who he is. They have no idea that he is the best golfer from Colombia, a country known for coffee and Pulitzer Prize—winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but other, less savory products, too. They have no idea that he was a four-time All-American player at the University of Florida. They have no idea that he is off to a brilliant start on his rookie year on the PGA Tour. They do know, however, that he has something special, because they are staring at him with twisted necks even as they go out the door. They know he has "it."
What is this "it?" As a PGA Tour player, Villegas has power, touch, focus and imagination. As a personality, he has looks, smarts, grace and magnetism. People come to watch him play golf. People come to watch him be Camilo.
"His impact on our tournament was sensational," says Carbone. "I had people from Colombia e-mailing, calling, wanting to make sure that he was in the field because they wanted to come up from Colombia to watch him play. We have such an extensive Latin community in Miami. Of course, we have a large Cuban population, but lots of people from South America, too. Colombians, Venezuelans, Brazilians. They caught wind of this kid. It was incredible."
Villegas caught lightning in a bottle the final day of the Ford Championship. Playing before an enormous and passionate gallery made up largely of Latinos, Villegas was pressing leader Tiger Woods before an errant drive and three putts at the 18th led to a double bogey and a tie for second place. That he did not win the tournament meant little. That he did win such a huge following meant everything.
"I told my caddie standing on the 18th green that it was the most awesome week I ever had," says Villegas, relaxed and confident on a hotel couch in his J. Lindeberg shirt and his J. Lindeberg jeans. "Playing good golf at the right place at the right time in front of the right people. I don't have any idea how many people out there had no clue as to what is a par, birdie, putting green. It was golf with a soccer crowd. You could see all the Colombian flags. People yelling and screaming for me. So I clapped my hands for them."
Johan Lindeberg saw the "it" in Camilo Villegas nearly three years ago as he was surfing the Internet. Lindeberg, the creative director of the Swedish fashion company J. Lindeberg and a passionate golfer, came across Villegas as a college player at the University of Florida, and from those first Internet pictures he thought he discerned a quality about him that was undeniably attractive. Two years later, when he met Villegas after he had turned pro, when his company had him under contract to wear his golf clothing and the rest of his collection, Lindeberg knew he was right.
"I am always studying golf and I thought he was the best-looking golfer ever," says Lindeberg. "His arms, his eyes, his looks. To me, he was the new Marlon Brando. He has that intensity of charisma, of strength, that Brando persona. To me, he has the most unique look as a golfer since Arnold Palmer. Tiger Woods operates on a completely different level in the world, no doubt. But Camilo has tremendous international appeal."
So, is Camilo Villegas the next Tiger Woods or the next Marlon Brando? Does he have 10 major championships in his game, does he have a remake of On the Waterfront in his future? Tough acts to follow, to be sure. But be sure of one thing: Villegas wants to make his own place in the world of golf and he seems to have the tools—the body and the brain—to make very good things happen. Through this past April he had finished second twice and made an extremely impressive third-place showing in the Players Championship. He had won more than $1.2 million, already ensuring that he would finish in the top 125 on the money list and hold his PGA Tour card for 2007.
Now comes the true test, whether Villegas can become a winner on the PGA Tour, whether he can become an elite player, whether he can become a contender for the crown currently held by Woods and once held by Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Most players are pretenders to that kingdom. Sergio Garcia is a winner, but not a major winner. Greg Norman, for all the expectation and excitement that swirled around his career, never quite wore the royal robes despite winning two British Opens. Villegas has a ways to go on results, even if he is just arriving as a personality.
The journey of 24-year-old Camilo Villegas to the PGA Tour began in the unlikely city of Medellín, Colombia. The son of architects Fernando and Luz Marina Villegas, the young boy was attracted to the popular sports of the country—soccer, biking and squash. His father had been a well-rounded athlete who played soccer and tennis and rode motorcycles competitively. At 35, Fernando decided to take up golf and joined Campestre de Medellín, one of four clubs with golf courses in the city of nearly two million in the northwest part of the country. Medellín is known as the Land of the Eternal Spring and the Capital of Flowers and is a principal manufacturing center. But it is also widely known as the center of the Colombia drug cartels. That is a reputation that Villegas would like to erase through the game of golf.
"If I play good golf and people say, 'Hey, he's from Colombia and he's doing something positive,' I think that will help with what people think of Colombia…. It's a pretty country with people who are passionate and will make you feel at home."
When Camilo was seven, Fernando took his son to the Campestre de Medellín. The boy hit a few balls, then a few more, and soon knew that he had found the sport he wanted to play. "Soccer was not a sport I really loved," says Villegas. "I really enjoyed biking and I liked playing squash. But I really loved golf. Golf was the one that I really wanted to do better, the one I worked the hardest on, the one I had the most passion about. There was something about it I really enjoyed. I knew golf was the one I wanted to do special things with."
Under the tutelage of the club pro, Rogelio Gonzalez, and the support of the Federación Colombiana de Golf, Villegas became one of the country's best players by the age of 13. "One of the best things about playing golf in Colombia is that if you are a good one, you get a lot of opportunities to represent your country," says Villegas. "Being the third best player in Colombia is a lot easier than being the third best player in the United States. So if you are third best you get a lot of opportunities." His résumé included two South American junior championships, a victory at the Colombian Open as an amateur and three appearances in the World Amateur.
Villegas was doing special things without the benefit of a world-renowned swing coach, a sports psychologist or a personal trainer. At an early age he was focused and mature. His parents never pushed him to play golf, nor did they push him to open a schoolbook. But they did tell him that whatever he was doing, he should dedicate himself to it and give it his best. He has made that advice his credo and it is at the center of his present success. In that regard, he could be the equivalent of Tiger Woods, whose late father, Earl, and mother, Kultida, took a similar approach in raising their son.
As Woods was starting his fourth season on the PGA Tour in 1999, Villegas was coming to America and making a lasting impression. He finished fifth in the World Junior Championships in San Diego, lost in the final of the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship in York, Pennsylvania, to Hunter Mahan (now a fellow PGA Tour player) and won the Orange Bowl tournament in Coral Gables, Florida. The U.S. Junior is a key tournament in the college recruiting rotation. Among the more than 80 college coaches there that year was Buddy Alexander, leader of the University of Florida's highly successful golf program. Alexander already had a Colombian player on his team, Camilo Benedetti, who had gone to high school in Fort Lauderdale his sophomore year as an exchange student. Now Alexander and a legion of coaches were watching Villegas establish himself as a blue-chip prospect. "Let's say he drove up the price by his performance there [at the Juniors]," says the Florida coach.
The University of Florida is where Villegas wanted to go. With Benedetti already at the school, with Alexander as one of the premier college coaches, with the team highly competitive on a national basis, Villegas set his heart on becoming a Gator. He was going to play with the best, and he was going to get a degree. As much as he loved golf, he also knew there were no guarantees that a rich professional career was in his future.
"If I had stayed in Colombia, it was going to have to be golf or it was going to have to be academics," says Villegas. "Coming to the States, it was nice to be able to combine both, something I always wanted. Golf is a tough sport; there are so many good competitors out there, so you never know what can happen. I have a passion for the sport, but I had to have a backup in case it didn't work out. So I had to get my degree." (Villegas would major in business administration, graduating with a 3.78 GPA.)
The player that Buddy Alexander had recruited had a game based on finesse and strategy. The 5-foot-9, 139-pound freshman was one of the smallest players on the team in 2000, one of the shortest off the tee. Villegas wanted to change all that and so did Alexander. "He didn't really generate enough clubhead speed," says Alexander. "We put him on a program to make him stronger. Lifting weights, nutrition. He took it to a level that no had ever done before."
NBC television analyst and former Gator Gary Koch closely watched Villegas's progress. "I played with him on Gator Golf Day when he was a freshman and he really was a skinny little kid," says Koch. "But you could just sense there was a presence about him, the way he carried himself. He was very polite and it was obvious that he was brought up very well. You just thought he had to do some great things."
When Villegas left Florida in 2004, he turned pro. IMG, the mega-sports agency that built its reputation on Arnold Palmer and represents Woods and many of the world's leading players, had been first in line for several years to sign him up. The minders at IMG knew that Villegas—like Palmer and Woods before him—had that "it" factor, a charisma quotient that transcended the game. "We like to have people who are a little different," says IMG senior vice president Clarke Jones. "Right when you meet him you realize he's got something. You realize how organized and dedicated he is. He was a great student, very diligent, very mature. And he's got that Latin flair."
His first big professional event was the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in 2004. Villegas had gone through two stages of qualifying to earn his spot. College golf is played on a very high level, but generally in front of more trees than spectators. Now Villegas was getting to see what the big time was all about, and it agreed with him. "I missed the cut, but it gave me a taste for the life out there," says Villegas. "It showed me I could play golf in front of people, put on a show, and I like that people were having fun with it. It made all the hard work I had put in worth it."
Through IMG's stumping and Villegas's accomplishments, and through his growing "it" factor, he was able to get sponsor invitations into seven PGA Tour events in 2004, the maximum allowed to any player. When he finished in a tie for seventh at the B.C. Open, that allowed him to play the next week. Altogether he played in 10 PGA events that season. But because it's almost impossible to win enough money in such a few number of events, it's difficult to gain top-125 money-list status, which guarantees a spot on the Tour for the following season.
Because he was not a Tour member, Villegas did not gain an entry to the Nationwide Tour—golf's top level below the PGA Tour—for the following year. He had to go through the full three stages of Tour qualifying to get a card. At the second stage, he missed. At that point he had no status anywhere, though being an IMG client conveys status in its own right. It helped him get into events on the Australasian Tour at the end of 2004; he finished in the top 60 on that money list, enough to gain tour status there. He had a home base, if he needed it.
"In 2005, I knew I was going to get some sponsors exemptions into PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour events," says Villegas. "I got a sponsor exemption into the first Nationwide Tour event of the season in Panama and finished second. I thought to myself, This is going to be a good way to get onto the PGA Tour." (The top 20 money winners on the Nationwide Tour, plus ties, gain provisional status to the PGA Tour. Villegas finished 13th.)
One of the sponsor exemptions that Villegas received in 2005 was to the Ford Championship at Doral. Eddie Carbone had been aware of Villegas's achievements at the University of Florida. He saw that "it" something in Villegas and had him play on the media day for the Ford Championship that January. "You could really tell that this kid had something special," says Carbone. "He's the most gracious and personable guy. I loved the way he interacted with everyone. He has a good appreciation of what it takes to be a complete pro, how he needs to interact with the sponsors and the fans."
Carbone was saving another sponsor exemption for Villegas to the 2006 tournament. The Ford Championship is one of the Tour's most prestigious events and most of the top players compete. Players like Villegas whose status come from the Nationwide Tour money list are often left out. Then Villegas hit the jackpot. He finished in a tie for second at the FBR Open in Scottsdale, Arizona. The $312,000 he won zoomed him up the money list and guaranteed him entry into at least the next few big events, the Ford Championship included. He was on his way to national, and international, exposure.
The "it" man had arrived.
"Johan had been telling me about him for a couple of years," says PGA Tour player Jesper Parnevik, who was the first significant player to wear Lindeberg's golf clothing. "He kept saying, Watch out for this guy. He said he was so photogenic that it's unbelievable. He kept calling him a young Marlon Brando, which was pretty unusual to be calling a golfer that. But Johan has a good sense about these things."
Lindeberg also had a good sense about Villegas's ability. He thought he would be a Tour winner, and Parnevik sees nothing about Villegas's game to think differently. "He's a young kid but he thinks like an experienced player," says Parnevik. "At Doral he missed some short putts, but he did not come away disgusted. He keeps the positive and throws away the negative. To me, he is a modern Seve [Ballesteros]," adds Parnevik, referring to the charismatic Spaniard who won three British Open and two Masters titles.
Villegas, however, hasn't always been upbeat about his game.
"Controlling his emotions is something that Camilo has had to work at," says Alexander. "He's never been a hothead or a club thrower, but he can get upset enough at himself that it could be detrimental. He's a perfectionist, which can be good and it can be bad. He could beat himself up pretty good. My parting words to him were not to get down on himself."

Gutierrez returns to Mariners lineup
ARLINGTON - After starting just two of the previous seven games due to soreness in his legs, center fielder Franklin Gutierrez was back in the Mariners lineup for Saturday night's game with the Rangers.
Gutierrez has played well when he's been able to get on the field, hitting .255 with four home runs and a share of the team lead with 10 RBIs. His .574 slugging percentage is second only to the .579 by Michael Morse going into Saturday's action.
But health has been an issue for the 2010 Gold Glove outfielder for the past 2 1/2 seasons, and his latest difficulty is the leg problems that cropped up in Spring Training and continue to flare.
"He said he feels pretty good, so we got him back in there and we'll see how it goes," said manager Eric Wedge. "Hopefully he'll have a good day."
As for the longer term?
"We do have to just take it game by game right now and try to get him over the hump," Wedge said. "He's working on his lower half every day and trying to get better with it, but it is what it is."
Michael Saunders is getting closer to returning, which would give Wedge another center-field option. Saunders took another step Saturday by taking full batting practice, after doing some early hitting Friday. He said he remains hopeful to come off the disabled list when he's eligible to return next Friday.

Texans know a lot about immigration. But on May 19-20, dozens of Australian companies will gather in Houston to encourage Texas workers to emigrate down under for jobs that are available now in Oz.
The Skills Australia Needs job fair in Houston on May 19-20 seeks to sign-up skilled American oil and gas, mining and construction workers who will get the chance to secure a job down under. Australian immigration officials are hosting the event and will provide information about visa options for skilled workers in the oil and gas, mining and construction sectors.
Available spaces for the two-day event are filling up quickly, and interested participants have been urged to act quickly to register for the free jobs fair.
"Australia is hungry for skilled Texas workers right now," said immigration department spokesman Sandi Logan. "The Houston event will focus on Australian companies which are seeking American engineers and other skilled workers in the oil and gas, mining and construction sectors whose skills are in high demand down under."
Australian employers will be on hand to speak about their industries with US workers, while Australian state government representatives will attend the event to answer questions about state-sponsored visas.
"Skills Australia Needs fairs have met with success across the globe, giving Australian employers the opportunity to link with the skilled workers they need to meet their demands, and helping workers navigate the immigration process," Mr. Logan added.
Queensland Government Trade and Investment Commissioner to the Americas Chris Rodwell said his state would welcome qualified US workers to Australia.
"With major growth in the resources and energy sectors in Queensland, many opportunities are now available for suitably skilled US workers," Mr Rodwell said. "Queensland would warmly welcome American workers to fill these gaps and can offer a wonderful climate and lifestyle for them and their families."
The Australian division of the multinational company URS also will join Australian employers attending the event.
Russell Chapman, Recruitment Manager (Australia and New Zealand), said his company was uniquely positioned to implement a number of large resource-based projects in Australia and would be seeking skilled Americans to fill these job vacancies.
"At the job fair in Houston we will be looking to fill more than 100 positions for engineers, engineering draftspersons and technicians, quantity surveyors and spatial scientists," Mr Chapman said. "We are specifically looking for specialist skill sets in mining, oil and gas to assist us to deliver major projects in these sectors.
"These skill sets are in short supply and high demand across Australia," he added.
Registration details on the Skills Australia Needs event in Houston are available on the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship website.

Mike | May. 8, 2012Talk about double standards, our company has two 6th generation rigs heading to the GOM and all non US passport holders have to leave and hope for a transfer elsewhere in the fleet. I am Australian with 25 years offshore and have yet to see any relevant jobs advertised, plenty for mining but not rigs. These government agencies are just over in Houston on a free holiday.
Sandi Logan | May. 8, 2012Australian Immigration advises: most Aussie recruiters will be looking to offer successful skilled tradesmen and women in the oil, gas, mining and construction sectors permanent skilled visas, although there is also scope for some to be considered for temporary skilled migrant visas (or the subclass 457). Skills recognition will be facilitated onshore in the US to help expedite the successful recruits into the Australian workplace without delay.
Andre | May. 7, 2012WHY don't they offer us (28-28) or similar *Rotation* just like Nigeria, Algeria or Kazakhstan does??? I exactly want that, to Rotate back to USA regularly, and I am very qualified in Oil & Gas Engineering. I placed (20+) applications over the last year, but nobody wants me. They want somebody to come with family & STAY.
Hector Zarraga | May. 7, 2012Which type of visa will be granted to the Americans oil and gas professionals coming to work in Australia? a 457? or itll be a special "agreement" between Australia and the US governmental authorities? The living costs for a person working in the US oil fields are 2 times less expensive than in Aussie land! Good luck for the ones coming!

TWO pensioners escaped after a fire started in the kitchen of a house in Little Hulton.
Firefighters were called to the house in Peelwood Avenue at 1.22am this morning after a fire started in the kitchen.
The fire is believed to have started because of a faulty freezer.
Firefighters put out the flames however a 72 year-old woman and 75 year-old man both suffered smoke inhalation.
The man, aged 75 and the woman, aged 72, were able to escape from the house after being awoken by a smoke alarm.
Firefighters from Farnworth arrived on the scene and entered the kitchen to tackle the fully formed fire.
They used hose reels and were able to contain the blaze to the kitchen area, which suffered sever damage.
Other areas of the house sustained smoke damage.
The two people were taken to hospital by paramedics after showing signs of smoke inhalation.
Watch manager Tony McKenna said: "This just goes to show the importance of having a working smoke alarm in your house.
"If anyone would like to have a free smoke alarm fitting they can call 0800555815."

A POLICEMAN and his wife killed themselves in a suicide pact after selling their cars and going on a last luxury holiday to Las Vegas, an inquest has heard.
The body of the 41-year-old PC, who quit the Metropolitan Police before the death pact, was found sitting up in bed alongside his dead 49-year-old wife.
A coroner heard that former PC Philip Powell and his wife Vanessa were both depressed but had embarked on a last holiday to America.
PC Powell had been suffering from depression and had taken a staggering 245 days off work in just 13 months. His wife was also suffering from similar depression. They ended their lives in a planned double suicide at a house they were renting.
Letting agency staff used a ladder to peer through a bedroom window and saw the couple sitting up in bed.
The couple had left a number of printed and signed suicide notes, including one to the coroner, who said it was the first time he had experienced such a thing.
Mr Powell had quit his job by email while on a holiday in America, funded by selling their cars.
The inquest into both deaths heard the husband and wife had been "flat" and Mr Powell had amassed the 245 days off sick in the final 13 months of his job as a police constable.
When he failed to return to work after his sickness certificate expired, bosses at the Metropolitan Police were so concerned to discover he was in Las Vegas that they asked the Las Vegas Police Department to check on him and his wife.
Deborah Reay, of Richard James estate agents, had been in contact with the Powells about the early return of a house they had been renting since November 2012 in Swindon, Wilts.
The couple extended their leaving date by a week to August 20 but then made excuses and asked for one more night.
On August 22 Ms Reay revisited but got no answer and could see that the couple's dog had urinated inside the home.
She returned the following day, saw unopened mail and dog mess inside. After learning Mr Powell was no longer with the police, she went back that evening with her partner Aaron and colleague Gary.
Coroner David Ridley read her statement to police, saying: "They noticed there was a bedroom light on.
"Gary and Aaron used ladders. They saw a small gap through the curtain. I didn't see anything but they looked at each other and then Gary said he was going to call the police and said he thought or suspected there was a suicide at the address."
They managed to get into the address but stopped, with Aaron saying: "Oh my God" when they spotted a note fixed to a wall, stating: "Attention: If you are not the police, don't go upstairs".
Police Constable Mark Curle, of Wiltshire Police, was the first officer to arrive at the home in Chevalier Close.
Mr Ridley heard from Mr Powell's commanding officer, Superintendent Jonathan Morgan, the deputy borough commander for the City of Westminster.
Mr Powell had served in the police briefly in 2004-2005, before leaving and later rejoining years later.
Yet soon after rejoining Mr Powell started experiencing difficulties.
"If someone has had three periods of sickness or 19 days in three years then they are under some degree of scrutiny," said Supt Morgan.
"In 13 months Philip had been off for 245 days."
Mr Powell had been signed off work until January 18 last year and had tried to extend this via email to his GP but was told that could not be done.
When he failed to return to work his bosses discovered he and his wife were not only abroad but in the gambling capital of the world.
Supt Morgan said this sparked increased concern because of Mr Powell's mental state and also over potential corruption.
Local American officers checked on the pair - which angered Mr Powell - and before he was due to return to work he sent a resignation letter by email. However, he did not tell any of his family he had left the police.
The couple's GP, Dr Deborah Milligan, confirmed Vanessa Powell had first received psychiatric help in her teens "as a result of the effect her father was having on her and her mother".
She was recognised as suffering depression throughout her life, she said.
Mr Powell had been described as being "flat".
Dr Milligan, who treated the Powells at her surgery in Wokingham, Berks., when they lived in nearby Woodley, said that she had recommended the couple register with a surgery in Swindon when she heard they had moved. That never happened.
The coroner, hearing the inquest in Salisbury, Wilts., said: "I'm sure that both Philip and Vanessa died as a result of a deliberate act initiated by themselves.
"I'm not sure we will ever get to fully understand the reason.
"I've heard comments from the family that in recent contact with both Philip and Vanessa there was no indication this was on the horizon but I'm sure that both intended to take their own lives for whatever reason."
He formally recorded a conclusion in each case that they had taken their life while suffering from depression.

Efficient Miller impresses in first spring start
JUPITER, Fla. -- Aside from Adam Wainwright, who will start for St. Louis on Thursday, the Cardinals have now watched each of their starting pitchers take the mound in a spring game. And with his outing on Wednesday, Shelby Miller set the early bar.
After giving up a leadoff homer to Daniel Nava, Miller retired the final eight batters he faced. He struck out five, featured an improved curveball and showcased a developing cut fastball that Miller believes could be a new weapon. He did all this while being efficient (35 pitches in 2 2/3 innings), a quality that came and went during his rookie season.
"I know competing here is what it's all about," Miller said. "If I feel good, physically feel good and feel the ball coming out of my hand good, everything is going to be there eventually."
The competition he finds himself in this year is a bit different from the one he emerged from last year as the team's fifth starter. That was Miller's job to win. This year, the rotation spot is his to lose.
"Am I comfortable knowing that I have a better shot making the team? Yeah," Miller said. "But at the same time, nothing is guaranteed here, especially with all the young guys that we have. All of them have great arms. My job is to help this team win and pretty much pitch to keep my spot. Because you never know what is going to happen with these guys. They are so good and there is so much ability around here that I feel like I am still competing to keep my spot right now."
Miller has another four spring starts scheduled during which he can solidify that rotation spot. He's not waiting that long, though, to start leaving an impression.
"We talked about our [workout groups] and some of our young guys leading groups, Shelby absolutely took that personally and took pride in the fact that he could be a leader," manager Mike Matheny said. "The way he's going about his business, just the professionalism, he's made some real nice strides in that regard."

The meaning behind Thanksgiving and the holiday season can sometimes be forgotten because the focus and attention is all on the food. Family traditions are cherished and classic dishes grace the holiday table. Unfortunately for many, caution is thrown away and everyone over-indulges with a marathon of flavors, eating non-stop, all day long. I know because I have been guilty of this very high-caloric crime myself. Now that I have a family of my own, I have taken the extra effort to make the holiday meal delicious AND healthy, without skimping on tradition or flavor.
There are simple ways you can do this. The first is by using only fresh ingredients. Cranberries, for example, don't come from the can but from the produce section. When mixed in with other wonderful flavors like orange, ginger, pomegranate or flavored liqueur, homemade cranberry sauce has infinitely more flavor than that boring, sugary jelly that slips out of the can.
The second step to a healthy holiday is to cut the sugar back. Save the sweets for dessert, not your dinner. Squash and sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, so why drown it with marshmallows? Add a little salt instead and you have a wonderful sweet-salty combination that everyone will love.
The third step is to introduce whole grains to the table. If your family is picky, hide the good stuff. Mix in high fiber, whole-grain bread to your stuffing recipe. Or, add whole wheat flour and some wheat bran into your baking. Most recipes are pretty forgiving if you substitute half of the white all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. It is easier to alter your taste buds by making these smaller changes and slowly increasing the percentage of whole grain ingredients as time goes by.
Need a gluten-free alternative to stuffing? Try brown rice or quinoa. Quinoa is an ancient grain that is been rediscovered in the foodie world. It is high in fiber, high in protein and is completely gluten-free. Mix it with your green beans, add it to some salad or prepare it like a rice pilaf.
So you survived dinner, but you have a weakness for dessert – what do you do when the parade of pies makes their dramatic entrance? Try this Whole Wheat Apple and Cranberry Galette. A galette is a rustic pie. It requires less fuss than a traditional pie, which I can never make pretty and perfect no matter how hard I try!
Tart granny smith apples and fresh cranberries are lower in sugar than most other fruits. And this crust is made with whole wheat flour, wheat bran and rolled oats. It is flaky and crunchy like a traditional pie crust, but full of fiber and whole grain goodness. Make one or a dozen, change the filling to include pears, figs or any of your favorite seasonal fruits. You can also add pecans, almonds or pistachios for added protein and crunch.
Change the seasonings of the crust to make a savory galette, using sweet potatoes, string beans, tomatoes or sweet peppers.
Get creative in the kitchen and create new food traditions to your holiday table this year. Remember it CAN be both mouthwatering and healthy at the same time!
Whole Wheat Apple and Cranberry Galette
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Butter, frozen
- 4 Tbsp Water, cold
- 1 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill Wheat Bran
Filling Ingredients:
- 8 oz granny smith apples
- 4 oz fresh cranberries
- 3 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour
- 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 3 Tbsp Bob's Red Mill Regular Rolled Oats
- 2 Tbsp Orange Juice
- 1 tsp Orange Zest
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
In a food processor with a metal blade combine flour, sugar and cinnamon to make the galette crust. Cut frozen butter into small pieces and half to the food processor and pulse 3 times. Add remaining butter and pulse 3 more times or until butter is the size of coarse pebbles. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition. Dough should now resemble coarse sand. When pressed together, the dough should stick. If not, add more water, a few drops at a time. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface, pressing together to form a ball. Roll dough ball into the wheat bran, and flatten to form a disc. The wheat bran does not need to be worked into the dough. Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper and refrigerate dough for 2 hours or up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350ºF and line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Peel and core apples and cut into thin slices. Add to a mixing bowl and combine with the rest of the filling ingredients.
Remove dough from the plastic wrap and using a rolling pin, roll until a 9-10 inch circle is formed. Place dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Arrange filling into desired manner, leaving a 1-1/2 inch border of dough around the filling. You can add the apples first to make a pretty pattern then the remaining ingredients, or you can pile it all in at the same time. Fold dough edges around the filling, making pleats as needed.
Bake until edges start to brown, 45-50 minutes. Allow galette to cool at least 1 hour prior to serving.

Jacob Tonski is a pragmatic optimist whose creative work explores balance as an inherently dynamic process.
A self-adjusting platform makes everyone the same height, probing ideas of equality and the origins of power. A larger-than-life top spins about the room, wobbling through themes of pleasure, danger, youth and decay.
These and other human-scale objects, both amusing and threatening, find an uncanny identity between toys and tools. The forces of time and gravity serve in these works as foils for those things we are powerless to direct in our lives, and with which we must instead dance and negotiate.
Tonski holds an MFA from the Design | Media Arts department at UCLA. He studied computer science at Brown University and worked as a Technical Director at Pixar Animation Studios. He has lived in Berkeley, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Paris and Providence, grew up in West Virginia, and is currently an assistant professor of art and interactive media studies at Miami University, Ohio.

Hello all!
I'm here to hear what you all have to say about the Dhamma and hopefully I can learn and help as needed too. So far, I've really benefited from reading the posts here. I have some background of about a year of daily sutta study and feel my meditation practice is okay at hour sitting sessions and some progress. Learning the Dhamma, has been transformational for me thusfar. I am thankful that the Bhudda illuminated this for us, and wish the best for each of you as well in this practice.

Some posters new, some posters old, you all decided that PD is the new Piratebay of basketball and that our rules mean nothing.
let me clarify this a little bit; some of the above are now balancing on the thin edge of a permanent ban, orthers on the same for a 30 day one.
We don't put rules in place because we are idiots, if you think that, you're in the wrong place.
Anyone even hinting at it will be banned the second i see it, and personally I don't give a toss what you all think of that.
I am not prepared to get into legal trouble for hosting a site where the people are so egoistic that they "need" to get me into that kind of trouble.
NO hints at PM's no hints at links no questions no nothing, if you want to see a stream of the game, pay NBA league pass Broadband and enjoy a perfect stream for reasonable cost, and a lot less than what i would pay if they arrested me next time around i visit Indy.
Play nice, admins can be a lot rougher than they are, and I am not in the mood to lose all i work so hard for because you need to break the law and get me into trouble.
If you don't like it, change it with your vote in whatever election comes around in your country, not by electing to get my arse thrown in jail.

The [Jochen] Hecht line had five. That line had one, and we're looking for a little bit more out of them."'

- (Transmit Sound/Legacy)
While it was nice to see Jay Farrar experimenting with his sound on his recent solo albums, he plays to his strengths here for his most satisfying release in quite awhile. The band members may have changed, but the crunchy roots-rock sound will be familiar to long-time fans, as will Farrar's evocative, often politically-charged lyrics, which aren't as cryptic as they're sometimes made out to be, though as usual he prefers not to spell things out in linear fashion. 6/30/2005 - Don Yates

Today is the first day of our annual Home for the Holidays week! And I'm psyched to kick it off with a fun giveaway, the first gift I'm highlighting for your holidays.
We love KitchenAid in our household. Quality appliances that last a near lifetime, and beautiful to boot. This naturally includes their stellar Waffle Baker.
With its two sides, it makes two 7.5 inch Belgian-style waffles in less than two minutes. The clamshell baking unit rotates to provide seriously consistent waffles.
The non-stick plates wipe clean with a damp cloth, and the drip channel along the edges helps prevents spills. Perfect for any family with kids.
Waffles bake at a constant temperature, and browning is controlled with a baking timer. A nearly perfect breakfast, in other words. Or dinner, as we've done several times since this beauty entered our home last month.
It makes an amazing gift for any family who loves waffles. Which pretty much means it's good for every family.
Would you like to win one? I'd love for you to give one to someone you love this Christmas.
How to win
Simply use the widget below to leave a comment on this post, and you'll be entered to win! (If you're reading this via email, please click over to the main post to leave your comment.)
For extra entries, you can also follow KitchenAid on Twitter and Facebook—simply follow the steps in the widget below!

Sony Dab Radio Upgrade
aps67 replied to Liamash93's topic in Ford Focus ClubIve recently upgraded my Sony MP3 fac fit to a DAB version , read all the info regarding changing aerials etc etc I bought a magnetic mount aerial off fleebay and it sits in the boot (foor) and gives me spot on reception ! Well worth the £11.99 inc delivery ! The aerial sits on the boot floor to the right corner so clear of anything , sticks through the hook eye hole in the carpet and is only 5" high ! Just another thought if your interested .
aps67 started following What Tyres., Sony Dab Radio Upgrade and Steering Wheel Controls With Aftermarket Gps Help
Further to this adapter thingy i need , ive been searching around & it looks like they are freely available for "brands" such as kenwood, sony,pioneer etc .. Has anyone used or any knowledge of them at all (adapters) ? thanks again
Dont get me wrong , i really do like unit , it works near pefectly apart from the pesky stalk controls... Everything else is spot on really .. BUT i do miss the remote control from the stalk. Now of they made one which is DAB then that would be perfect. cheers
Good stuff James , any ideas on where i can one at all ? Im assuming then itll just be a loom in-line type of affair . cheers
I only removed it to test , it doesnt work either way. I read somewhere that my "control" is analogue therefore did not need the canbus box. When i press the test in the steeringwheel setup on the unit it displays the values : 255 / 255 or something like. But when i attempt to program the unit with the stalk controls i get nowhere with the canbus box in situe. is it correct that removing the box is the right thing to do , you see this is where it confuses the whatever out of me .(by removing the box its simply a plugin to the loom thing) Should it work without the canbus box right away with no splicing of wires etc ? Should it work with the canbus box with my spec of car right away ? cheers
Hi , first of thanks thanks for the reply ... .yes its the mk2 with 2.5 centre from factory The model of car is a late 07 Focus Ghia. As mentioned i suspect its the analogue system so the canbux box has been removed out of the loom of the aftermarket unit as it simply plugs inline with the loom Will it be the "spare" wires on the unit loom that seem to be a just in case .. as i recall there were maybe 2 or 3 wires labled but they were not bare ends they we sealed ends if that makes sense. thanks again
Piccy attached now , see unit & steering controls Thanks again
Steering Wheel Controls With Aftermarket Gps Help
aps67 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all, i really need to pick everyones brains here if i could ... Purchased an aftermarket unit for my 07 Focus Ghia , you know the one ... gps/dvd etc etc Now .. the issue is trying to get the steering wheel controls to work .. I have the "stalk" controls attached to the steering column , so i guess its an analogue system , i simply cannot get the controls to take or even work from the stalk , i understand that as the unit came with a canbus box i need to remove than from the loom , which is fair enough ill do that .. but then what do i have to do to get this working. ? Is it something then to do with the "spare" wires i have on the unit loom ? for example key1 etc etc etc What do i have to do ? an idiots guide really would help. Many thanks in advance (ill attach an image of the unit later)
All now seems easy enough , ill wire the cam off the reverse sensor box , have a faff tmrw . Ill link to pics of the unit also so far pretty impressive if im honest , although still no steering wheel controls i guess ill live cheers
Bingo ! cheers
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-170-Lens-Angle-Car-Rear-View-Reverse-Backup-Parking-CCD-COMS-Colour-Camera-/271004037453?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item3f1919714d Thats the jobby , if you see it has a seperate power lead , red plug , but the 5mtr rca cable has a thin red wire offf each end not shown in piccy.. odd cheers
Another quick question ... I just picked up the reverse camera for the unit and on the video lead ( phono/rca - phono/rca) each end also has a thin red wire with bare end . any thoughts or ideas what this red wire is ? thanks in advance
What Tyres.
aps67 replied to blue flash's topic in Ford Focus ClubI second that , to be honest stay clear ! I heard stories then it happend to me , enought said Go to a "reputable" company , black circles is a good site , also a site called tyrereviews , very good info there.
Did it involve any soldering etc ? the loom came with CANBUS box which in turn pluged into the main loom itself ... so could be wired wrongly you think ? When i get more time ill have to take it out again & have a look around. cheers
Yes , i got that from the "wheel" menu in the setup , it has the various functions , vol + / vol - etc etc ... didnt seem to work . Ill spend a little more time on it later and keep you posted. I touch the screen to highlight "vol +" then on my stalk pushed the volume up button , then went to complete as theres no "next or ok" nuttin ! Looked straight forward enough but i was hoping others had the same issue tbh. cheers

Todd Linsky, vice president of organic sales at Grimmway Farms and Cal-Organic Farms, is the new board chairman of the Washington, D.C.-based Organic Center.
Linsky and 14 more trustees were introduced at a March 9 fundraising dinner in Anaheim held during the Natural Products Expo West.
The nonprofit center was managed by an interim board of directors through the Brattleboro, Vt.-based Organic Trade Association since its September relocation from Boulder, Colo. The Organic Center promotes organic agricultural science. The association is a membership-based business organization for North American organic agriculture and products, representing more than 6,500 businesses.
Jessica Shade, an environmental scientist, started Feb. 19 as the center's new director of science programs, according to a news release. Shade and the board are expected to convene a scientific advisory board for research efforts.
"This is a new beginning for The Organic Center," Linsky said in the release. "While its structure may have changed, its mission to bring credible science to the organic industry has not."
Trustees include:
- Marty Mesh, executive director of Florida Certified Organic Growers and Consumers Inc.;
- Susan Shields, Jamba Juice senior vice president and chief innovation officer;
- Theresa Marquez, mission executive for organic farm cooperative CROPP Cooperative and its Organic Valley brand;
- Melody Meyer, vice president of policy and industry relations for United Natural Foods Inc., whose divisions include Albert's Organics;
- Jessica Lundberg, board member and seed nursery manager at Lundberg Family Farms;
- Margaret Wittenberg, vice president of quality standards at Whole Foods Market; and
- Christine Bushway, OTA chief executive officer and executive director.

Struggling Hamilton confident results will come
ANAHEIM -- Twice on Sunday -- with a man on third and two outs in the seventh, and with none on and two outs in the 12th -- Tigers manager Jim Leyland opted to walk Albert Pujols and pitch to Josh Hamilton. Another time, with the game tied in the 10th, he pitched to Hamilton with lefty Phil Coke, then intentionally walked Mark Trumbo behind him.
Hamilton's message: "Do it while you can."
The Angels got back on track this weekend, sweeping the defending American League champs thanks to a series-capping walk-off homer by Trumbo. But Hamilton is still searching for success with his former team coming to town. He hit a couple of hard line drives to the outfield on Sunday, but they were outs. The next two times, he struck out with the winning run on base. And through his first 17 games, he's batting .176, with 23 strikeouts in 68 at-bats.
The next time the Tigers play the Angels, Leyland said, "Hamilton will probably be on fire."
The Angels' right fielder can't figure out why it isn't happening now.
"I feel good, man," Hamilton said. "I've felt good for a while. I don't know. The only way I can describe it is baseball -- baseball is baseball. It just proves to you you can barrel it up and do everything right and feel good, and hit it right at people, and then you can work the worst at-bat of your life and roll one through the hole. I mean, it's nothing I'm doing different. We've looked at video, doing drills and things like that. There's nothing different than the first two months of last season. Everything's the same."
Hamilton is used to being the one intentionally walked. Each of the last two years, he led the Rangers in that department with 13 per season. But for valid reasons, the man in front of him has already been issued five free passes -- three of them by Texas on April 6.
Hamilton's message to Pujols: "Don't start expanding your zone because I'm struggling. I had good at-bats today, felt good at the plate. It's coming. Just stick to your game plan, get on base, and it'll happen."

Financing Options
At Clark University, we realize that preferences and needs for additional resources for financing your education are as individual as each student. We strongly encourage you to consider all the ways to pay for an education before applying for any private alternative loan. Federal loans usually offer borrowers lower interest rates and have more flexible repayment options than most private loans.
The best way to limit debt is to consider the Interest-Free Monthly Payment Option that is offered to Clark students through Tuition Management Systems. You should either call TMS at 888-216-4258 or view their website to obtain more information. If the payment plan is not a viable option for you, consider financing your balance by applying for a Federal Direct Grad PLUS loan or some other type of private educational loan program. We recommend that you go to their website and utilize the Borrow Smart tool, which encourages a combination strategy: using a combination of resources to limit debt while still keeping your monthly payments affordable.
The William D. Ford Direct Grad PLUS Loan
The Federal Direct PLUS Loan is a fixed low interest rate loan which allows graduate student to borrow funds for educational expenses. Borrowers do not need to select a specific lender through the Direct PLUS Loan Program since the lender is the U.S. Department of Education. A borrower must pass a PLUS Loan credit check and must not have adverse credit history. For an applicant who is unable to meet the credit criteria, there is an option to appeal the decision or the applicant may be able to borrow with a credit worthy endorser.
To apply for a Federal Direct PLUS Loan, you can access the application and loan information on the Graduate Student Forms page. Once completed, this request form must be either mailed or faxed directly to the Office of Financial Assistance. If you have not completed the FAFSA to apply for federal student aid, you must do so before Clark University will process your request for a Federal Direct PLUS Loan. Requests for a Federal Direct PLUS Loan are processed over the summer for the upcoming academic year.
Private Educational Loan Programs
Private educational loan programs are another option that may meet the financing needs of some of our families. The borrower is either a credit-worthy student borrower and/or a co-borrower. Both the interest rates and the fees may vary from program to program, often based on the borrower's credit history and are not always fixed rates. The maximum loan amount that can be borrowed each year is up to the total cost of attendance minus financial aid awarded to the student. Clark University does an annual review of alternative loan providers and their products specifically reviewing interest rates, repayment options, borrower benefits, and customer service. Based on our review, we provide a loan comparison chart describing the components of each program we have reviewed. However, we encourage our students to do their own research to find a product that best meets their needs. All borrowers have the option to select a private educational loan from any lender or agency they choose. Clark University will process any private loan application submitted to the University. Additionally, student borrowers should consider utilizing their full eligibility through federal student loan programs before borrowing a private educational loan.
The MEFA Graduate Loan is offered through the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority. MEFA is a non-profit self-financing state authority that serves students and families in Massachusetts and families of out-of-state students pursuing higher education in Massachusetts. The MEFA Graduate Loan is a private educational loan offered at a fixed interest rate. The fixed rate will vary based on the repayment option you select. The MEFA Graduate Loan requires a credit-worthy borrower and all applicants must be either a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Applicants may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any financial aid the student will receive. Fees range from 4-7% depending on co-borrower option selected.
For more information about the MEFA Graduate Loan, you should view or call MEFA at 800-449-6332.
The Citizens Bank TruFit Student Loan is a school certified private loan option for undergraduate and graduate students. Students can select either an immediate, interest only, or deferred payment option and may borrow up to the cost of education less any financial aid awarded to the student. This is a no fee private loan program.
For more information on this loan program or to apply for the loan, you should view or call 800-708-6684.
The Smart Option Student Loan (funded by Sallie Mae) can be a solution for students who still need funds after they have maximized their eligibility through the federal student loan programs. With this loan, the student can borrow up to the full cost of education less any other financial aid the student has received. The Smart Option Student Loan offers a deferred repayment option, interest only or $25 a month fixed payment while enrolled and an immediate repayment option. This is a no fee private loan program. This is a no fee private loan program.
For more information on the Smart Option Student Loan, you should view or call 888-272-4665.
Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan is one of the private loan programs offered by Wells Fargo. This loan program is for undergraduate and graduate students attending school full-time, half-time, and less than half-time. The standard repayment terms for this loan is 15 years and borrowers make no payments while in school; both payment and interest are deferred. This means that interest will begin to accrue while the student is in school but no payments are required during the time the student is enrolled. The student can borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any financial aid the student has been awarded. This is a no fee private loan program.
For additional information on the Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan, you should view or call 800-658-3567.
The best way to decide what option meets your needs is to compare the terms of each loan program. To assist you, we have created a loan comparison chart which briefly describes the components of each program.

Old Grovians 35, Skipton 0
Old Grovians reaped the benefit of having of having a full squad to choose from for the first time this season, also keeping their first clean sheet of the campaign in SSE Yorkshire Division Three.
Anthony Griffin, Aaron Magee and Jack Baker were among the try-scorers, the latter having represented Cambridge University in the varsity match at Twickenham last month.
"The first text he sent after that match was to us, telling us on what dates he would be available for the rest of the season!" said Grovians' director of rugby Martin Whitcombe.
"Jack should be available for two or three more matches. Another player who deserves a mention is Joe Harrison, whose stature defies the modern game.
"He has played at centre, No 8 and scrum half in the three games he has played for us so far this season, and Joe's commitment is excellent. He epitomises the spirit at the club."
The win took Grovians on to 30 league points, with Whitcombe adding: "Never say never, but 23 points was the cut-off for relegation last season, and Bramley Phoenix only have eight points and Skipton have 16.
"The division has now split into three – the bottom group of teams, the middle, which includes us, and the top four, who have broken away. Our aim for the rest of the season is to finish at the top of that middle group."

Geauga County Commissioner Mary Samide said she's "astounded" with the election complaint filed against her by her opponent Jim Dvorak.
The complaint alleges that Samide is in violation of Ohio Revised Code by using the term "re-elect" on her political campaign signs and advertisements.
Samide, a Republican, is running for the seat vacated by Bill Young when he resigned in June. The seat she currently holds will go to either Ralph Spidalieri, who defeated Samide in the March 6 GOP primary, or Democratic candidate Christopher John Lacny.
Though Dvorak claims Samide should not use the term "re-elect" in reference to a different seat, Samide says she already made sure her terminology was acceptable by the county Board of Elections.
"I was told if you held or hold the office of commissioner, you can say 're-elect,' " Samide said. "Whether you run now or 10 years from now you can write it."
Ohio Elections Commission Executive Director Phil Richter said the commission received Dvorak's complaint but did not review it because it did not meet filing requirements -- it lacked a mailing address.
"It was rejected and sent back for additional consideration," Richter said. "If he wants to correct it and send it back, he has the ability to do so."
Dvorak said he has not yet heard back from the commission, so he does not yet know whether he will attempt to refile the complaint.
"It depends what it says on the cover letter," Dvorak said. "All this is just to clarify the term 're-elect.' All my supporters just want a clarification."
Samide was elected to her current post in the 2008 general election. She believes Dvorak's complaint is a political ploy to discredit her.
"I'm astounded that my opponent, who I thought was a good friend of mine, would do that," Samide said. "I wouldn't have done anything that I didn't know was right."
Dvorak currently serves as a Burton Township trustee. The winner between him and Samide will hold the office through the 2014 calendar year. Each of the three county commissioners earns an annual salary of $55,524.
