This was the history of Karachi's oldest tavern. Ancient tales recalled.
Do you know that the famous Deh Sharafi of the Malir area in Karachi is actually Deh Sharabi (drunkard)? Government records still call the place Sharabi. Gul Hassan Kalmati's book, 'Karachi: the Marvi of Sindh' says on page 521 that: "Khudadad Gabol (the person with whose name the Khudad Colony of Karachi is associated, and the land of the colony is also his property) was known for the fact that during the British Raj, whenever public land would be auctioned, he would always purchase most of it.
Locals say he always drunk. That is why the area which was his property came to be known as Sharabi. Deh Sharabi is located in the Landhi tehsil.
In ancient Sindh, production or consumption of liquor was not a taboo. There were many ways of producing liquor. Author, Lok Ram Dhodheja writes under the title 'Liquor Kilns and Drink' on page 326 of his book Mera Watan Mere Log (My Country My People):
"The liquor of Sindh was famous locally and internationally due to its quality. Britons used to prefer Sindhi liquor over European liquor. In fact, they would take bottles of Sindhi liquor as souvenirs back home.
There were liquor production houses in many other big cities of Sindh. Taverns and bars would order for liquor to be produced for their businesses. Eager landlords and wealthy traders would have special liquor produced for them which was produced from grapes, dates, musk, fennel, saffron, rose, jaggery, and acacia bark. They would provide these commodities to the liquor producers and would have special bitter or smooth liquor produced for them.
Old husbands of young wives would have liquor produced from sheep's flesh as such liquor was considered to enhance their sexuality. Another type of liquor was produced for the well-to-do clients, meant to instill sexual desire.
Twenty-four bottles of locally brewed liquor were mixed with special virility mixtures obtained through Greek medicinal methods. These mixtures contained fat from 70 francolins and a sheep. The fat was then boiled and bottled. The bottles also contained musk, amber, tapioca and crystalised sugar. The bottles were then covered with fuller's earth and buried in the roots of an acacia tree. After a period of six months, the bottles were dug out. The liquor in these bottles was so strong, then, that even the most habitual drunkards could not handle it.
Kebabs were dipped in this liquor and eaten. Even those dipped kebabs would give a strong buzz. The British Raj shut down all such production houses to improve the sales of imported liquor. However, bootlegging of the special liquor continued for some time."
In his column on Karachi, which was also published in renowned literato Ajmal Kamal's book, Karachi ki Kahaani (The Story of Karachi), civics expert Arif Hassan writes: "There were many bars and billiard rooms in Saddar. The Ritz Bar, which used to be located opposite the Paradise Cinema, was considered one of the sophisticated taverns. It had teak-frame partitions and a counter which was made of zinc.
Often, the bar administration would play Bollywood songs. Many customers would shed tears while listening to these tunes from the neighbouring land which was once their homeland. The Old Toddy Shop in the Empress Market, the U-Bar opposite Jahangir Park, and the Winners' Bar on the tram track were mostly common places for a drink.
With the advent of Islamisation, these bars disappeared. The only trace of the glorious past is the billiard room near Lucky Star. It still exists.
Senior photojournalist Zafar sahib, who began his career in Karachi in 1972, tells me that the most expensive bar room was in the Hotel Excelsior. Its entry ticket was 350 rupees. Only the most affluent would go there; the bar also hosted cabaret dance.
Furthermore, there was a Taj Hotel adjacent to the Civil Lines Police Station. It was later changed to Peacock Hotel. This hotel, too, had a bar which was mostly a recreational place for middle-classers.
The Metropole Hotel had a bar called the Oasis. It was later turned into a Chinese restaurant. There was a Cabana Bar on the Airport Road. Whereas, there was a bar near the United Hotel in Saddar, as well which was known as the Lal Pari (red fairy). Most customers here were of humble origins.
In the Frere Market, there used to be a Romana-Shabana Club. Romana and Shabana were both dancers there, who became the identity of the place. The ticket to this club was worth 30 rupees.
All these taverns were closed when Pakistan National Alliance (PNA) started the Nizam-e-Mustafa campaign, a rightist movement, against the then Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. To mitigate the implications of the movement, PM Bhutto ordered the closure of all bars and announced Friday as the weekly holiday in the country.
Even this desperate measure could not save Bhutto. The rightist movement against him resulted into tyrant Zia-ul-Haq's martial law. Soon, Zia announced the implementation of an Islamic code in the country. However, he did take back complete prohibition of alcohol in the country, conditionally allowing non-Muslims to sell, purchase and consume alcohol in limited quantities.
Today, there are several liquor shops in Karachi for the non-Muslims where all sorts of Pakistani liquor is sold. However, these liquor shops can never compete with Mokhi's tavern or, for that matter, the bars in Karachi in the 60's. Why? A picture with words, worth a million words, perhaps. Read below the notice glued to the wall of a liquor shop and ponder:
"You, sir, are requested not to sit and drink in front of the liquor shop. Also, roaming in the liquor-shop street, while holding bottle(s) of liquor, is strictly prohibited. In case of any violation, you will yourself be responsible for any legal action." – Excise Police, Saddar, Karachi. (Dated: 5th of May, 2013)
There is no alcohol available for Muslims in the country. However, the only difference is that the tax or capitation on liquor now goes to the pockets of smugglers and corrupt police personnel, instead of going to the national exchequer as it used to in the old times.

Weather Blog: Arctic Cold And Snow Join Forces
We kicked off the weekend with brutally-cold conditions. Wind chills Saturday are done right bone chilling, dropping to 50 below in Fosston this morning, -45 in Longville and -25 at MSP Airport. The coldest temperature recorded Saturday morning was -11. Last year's lowest low was -13, to put that in to perspective. Saturday's high was -1, which approaches a record set in the 1800s! In the overnight, clouds will increase and light snow will develop later Sunday morning. Wind chill will decrease a bit.

Players, Fans Prepare For Harsh Cold At TCF Bank Stadium
The coldest kickoff since the Gophers moved back outside to TCF Bank Stadium was 23-degrees, against Iowa in November of 2010. We'll be lucky if the high gets that high on Saturday, so fans, and players, are already figuring out how to stay warm for the big game.

Fair-Goers Share Heat-Beating Tips
Tuesday was the steamiest day at the State Fair yet, so we sent meteorologist Lauren Casey out to find the best places and ways to cool down on the fairgrounds.
Fairgoers Cope With Record-Setting Heat
Extreme heat is the most dangerous type of weather, causing more fatalities than flooding, lightning, hurricanes and tornadoes combined. Appropriately, fairgoers are taking Monday's temperatures seriously while still having fun. On a second day of record-breaking heat and oppressive humidity, fairgoers arrived with water in hand and armed with a plan to stay cool. For members of the Jefferson High School marching band, beating the heat began days in advance when musicians began getting used to consuming lots of water.

Weather Blog: The 2013 Minnesota Tornado Drought
Cold air in the upper levels of the atmosphere is conducive to the formation of tornadoes — cold air at the surface, not so much. In 2013, cold air has been plentiful in Minnesota. Its prevalence has contributed to reduced numbers of tornadoes during the months which are climatologically most active in the state — May, June and July.

Corinex Communications Corp., a global leader in broadband over powerline technologies, in collaboration with Agri-Energia Electrica, S.A has launched a successful pilot to evaluate its proprietary MV data backhaul solution for load management and smart metering applications. This demonstration illustrates how the technology can be applied to existing power infrastructure, in less-than-ideal environments and conditions, for reliable transfer of data. In the pilot, Agri-Energia required a demonstration of reliable data transfer between four point-to-point substations. Despite the challenging geography and terrain, as well as the deteriorated state of the MV cables, Corinex technology succeeded where other communication technologies failed; Corinex deployed a High Density Compact Gateway at each substation, in conjunction with its SmartGrid Netman monitoring software, and the solution proceeded

KITTERY, Maine (AP) -- The town that's home to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard dedicated a flagpole in memory of the crew of the USS Thresher on Sunday, a day after an emotional memorial service marking the 50th anniversary of the deadliest submarine disaster in U.S. history.
At a morning ceremony at Memorial Circle in Kittery, hundreds of people gathered around the newly installed flagpole that towers to a height of 129 feet -- one foot for each of the 129 men who lost their lives.
The memorial service was held Saturday for the Thresher, which was built at the shipyard and based in Connecticut. The 278-foot-long submarine sank in 8,500 feet of water 220 miles off Cape Cod, where it remains.
"The loss of 129 officers, sailors and civilians continues to fill our hearts with grief," as well as pride and gratitude, said U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, one of the speakers at the flagpole dedication. "The USS Thresher Memorial guarantees we will never forget those who are on eternal patrol."
Marcye Philbrook, a Kittery resident who was 2 when her father, Quartermaster Julius Marullo Jr., died aboard the Thresher, told the Portsmouth Herald there was some disagreement about whether the memorial flagpole was too tall, but for her, the size was just right.
"It meant more than I ever could have imagined when that flag went up," she said. "I think it's just perfect."
Collins and Vice Adm. Michael Connor, commander of the U.S. Navy submarine forces, both pointed out that the tragedy led to the implementation of a program called SUBSAFE, an extensive series of design modifications, training and other improvements to ensure similar disasters didn't occur.
"Their loss was certainly not in vain," Connor said. "They made submarines safer, but they also made the world safer."

Q&A: Mobile Makes Inroads On Event Marketing
For years, marketing at events has been pretty much the same, whether the event was fun (think Lollapalooza), dreary (maybe the annual convention of the Casket & Funeral Supply Association of America) or high profile (perhaps the GOP Convention, opening next week in Tampa:) Sponsor buy banners and booths and hand out bumper stickers and logod totes bags, while attendees rub their aching arches. "If you dissect the pain point for most marketers," says Uzair Dada, founder and CEO of Iron Horse Interactive, a multichannel marketing company based in San Ramon, Calif., "they go to an event or a trade show and hope to generate more business, more leads, or more awareness. And then many come home and say, 'Well, that didn't happen.' And often, event marketing feels very generic."
Dada thinks the fact that since attendees are already glued to their smartphones, there's a world of mobile-dependent marketing ready to liven up events. He talks about it with Marketing Daily:
Q: What role is mobile already playing at events?
A: We are just emerging from the experimentation stage, and for large conventions, getting an app for the event is starting to appear on checklists.
Q: Who's doing it well?
A: Well, 'well' is a relative term, I think, since it's all so new. Tom's Shoes has done some interesting things. But most are pretty basic. Take the upcoming GOP Convention in Tampa: It has an app, and there are all the usual things, the things you'd expect: A schedule, maps, shuttle bus times, taxi info, that kind of thing. But I think in the future, you'll see those things as sort of a minimum. Apps will be tied into Facebook and Twitter and social feeds, and connected to information on different candidates. There will be polling features. They can be tied to donation widgets, so people can make a contribution right then, when they are there and excited and ready to shell out cash.
Q: What should marketers think about when creating event apps?
A: They need to be less focused on what they want, and more focused on why people go to events. Are they there to network, to get leads? Then think about apps that make it easy for them to do that.
Q: Is this
something you think marketers will do more of?
A: Yes, especially for big events. But I think there's huge potential for small events, too. Something like 80% of events have fewer than 100 attendees. I don't think it will be long until you see people create apps for things like family weddings or bar mitzvahs. And instead of disposable cameras on the tables, people will be using their smartphones to upload video of Uncle Lou dancing or whatever. I think we'll see reunion apps.
Right now, the problem of creating such specific apps is scale. And it can take up to eight weeks to create an app. But with things like HTML5 and increasing user receptiveness, we'll start to see it happen faster.

Take a further look into the stories and legends behind:
1. Horus
2. Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan
3. Mithras
Much of the Jesus story originates here
Also, just do a search on origins of the Jesus story it is quite eye opening
In terms of the ressurecton, there is an interesting take on it in the Qu'ran.

Jesus did hate religion- he corrected the Jewish teachers so much calling them on their lies and posing-
I am not into religion- I am into Jesus- thats it for me- I dont go to Church- why? I dont like constrainments upon me- I read my Bible and have my own personal relationship with God- if I have questions i go to several trusted fellow Christians and discuss it with them
this is THE Great Debate- it will never end period- it is also impossible to prove Gods existence- it is also impossible to disprove Gods existence
More and more scientist are pointing to the idea of a creative intellegence behind the universe saying- this is the only way- they are not saying God or Jesus- just that there is something out there-- in the end I want to love others as My God has loved me- unconditionally without any exceptions and whole heartedly
Final words- True Christianity is not about ritual- its simply about Love

"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." - John 6:67-68
Offer me something better then eternal life and I'll hear you out otherwise all that science has proved is that we are destined to the grave. Live for something... or die for nothing. Can't take your riches to the grave with you, neither will you be able to look back at what you've achieved in the this world when your dead. Simple choice Dr. D?
Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life"- John 6:68
WHAT has science offered?
Yes- I will not claim knowledge on something I havent researched! To do so would be ignorance- and thank you for the reps- I am glad we can have a civil discussion even though we dont agree!
I have done a little smidgeon of research on the parallel between Christ and others born of virgins- this is what I myself have come up with
A. There are SOME similarities- but they are very generalized
B. Predictions about Christ where made 600 years before He was born- He fulfilled every single one- the messianic prophecies are what these are
C. There are external refernces to Jesus Christ in History- even the Koran mentions Him
D. On the resurection- people said someone came and stole Christs body
Not possible here is why
A.HUGE Boulder blocked the way into his tomb
B. The most elite warriors (the romans) where charged with gaurding his tomb
c.They would have without a doubt noticed that someone was moving a boulder aside
So its simply this- there (in my mind) are three possiblities for who Jesus Christ is
A.- A mad man
B. A liar
C. The Son of God
my .02 here gents!
Test e/dbol/epi/winnie
The only thing I have issue with, is your presumption of origins. The "jesus story" originated with Jesus himself, not prior to him. If it bears an uncanny resemblance to older, less verifiable myths, then that is indeed interesting and has profound implications if you ask me, but it doesn't necessarily invalidate Jesus.
Like I've said, I think the prior stories were more likely planted by ancient and opposing principalities to confuse and emulate the truth that was to come. Counterfeits basically, to cast doubt on prophesy, and it's worked beautify it seems.
No offesne D, but that is a tad too convienent for me. To be honest, look into the end of the Egyptian empire, and see that much of their history was killed off and destroyed by the newly Christian Roman empire. I also must disagree with the less verifiable statement.
At the end of the day, it is just as plausable, that the Jesus story was taken from other sources as a political tool for Constantine at both Nicea and Hippo in the 4th century as a way to unify the empire

So if I'm wrong, I just die and never know any better because my existence ends. I lived a good life and I'm none the worse for it.
OR... it really is true, life is eternal, and we do have to face an eternal judge upon death who will grade our living choices? It seems like a no-brainer to me, lol. At the very least, all atheists should sincerely consider that it may be true, whether they're comfortable with that or not. Then, if you decide it's not, so be it, and you can die in confidence either way. But only a fool fails to consider it personally, because the stakes are too high to be ignored.
I mean, we are here. Why? There must be some reason, it's just an existential simplicity that should ring true with all organisms. What if life really is important, and we are supposed to discover than inherent significance? I think it's easier to just blow it off and go to the bar, so most guys take that path of least resistance and sell their lives short.

Yes Sir, I agree completely. But what if it's the other way around, as I suggested? It's a very intriguing concept, no?! I'm just saying it's not accurate to assume the story was borrowed, because it wasn't necessarily and there is some compelling evidence to suggest an alternate explanation.
Run down that rabbit hole for a few weeks and you'll see what I mean. There is something more to this 'mystery of iniquity' than what our church preachers and secular professors have taught us, and I'm gonna figure it out one day!
Oh no, that would be equally foolish! Sorry if I gave that impression. You don't believe just for the sake of belief, that's nothing more than positive thinking with no substantial object of faith other than faith itself.
But when in doubt, at least investigate everything you can before you form such a solid conclusion. This is a high stakes issue if it's true, and just like exercise you will get out of it a yield which is proportional to the effort you put into discovering it.
God is a rewarder of those who sincerely seek him. This is a great truth, and I dare say my life is proof that our righteousness is virtually irrelevant, lol. I have done nothing particularly noble with my existence, but I have sought truth even at my lowest, and I think it's made all the difference.

It's hot and humid and, despite hail, my crop of 'Manning Pride' corn is ready to pick. It's amazing how robust this heritage corn can be considering the force of the hailstorm. The plants are standing 3.25m high, each carrying up to three cobs, 30cm long. It's highly productive. Gardeners can thank the Bega Valley Seed Savers' Network for conserving this traditional NSW-bred non-hybrid corn cultivar, protecting it from extinction.

Unsung Heroes: Mark Figueroa
Updated On: Sep 10 2012 05:18:08 PM CDT
One dancer says to dance is to live. And he spreads life by instructing. But he lost his dance space where he taught every Wednesday for free. And now his gift is limited to once a month. This month's unsung hero is Mark Figueroa.
Mark Figueroa and his crew Kinetik-X were practicing a hip hop routine for an upcoming show. He choreographs, teaches and demonstrates.
"Movement definitely saved my life because that's how I coped," said Mark Figueroa, "So, instead of doing what everyone else was doing which was smoking weed, doing pills or getting drunk that was my outlet, I turned to dance. I got my high from dance."
And his mom, Marisol Colon, said he gave this high to others on Hamilton Street at the Arts and Development Center in Allentown for five years for free.
"He just genuinely has a good spirit and he wants to give back," said Colon.
Figueroa explained why.
"Whether you live in a good neighborhood or you don't, whether you're going through something or you just want to dance to celebrate," said Figueroa, "I feel like everybody deserves a fair chance."
But now he needs a new space.
"It would mean the world to him," explained fellow dancer, Tiara Hardy, "Because I think that shows dedication. It shows love for what you do. Not everyone would do this for free."
"A lot of studios and a lot of places they're expensive," said Figueroa, "I need to give people that don't have the money to pay for these classes another outlet."
Until he finds a studio of his own, he'll offer a free class the first Friday of each month at Dynamix Dance Center.
"I want to be happy and I want to make everybody else around me completely happy," said Figueroa, "It's who I am."
His gift of hip hop makes him an unsung hero.

CORNELIUS Hough's volleyball team continued its roll through the N.C. High School Athletic Association Class 4A tournament with a 3-0 quarterfinal win over visiting Charlotte Catholic on Saturday.
The Huskies (31-1) – who won by scores of 25-20, 25-18 and 25-21 – were led by outside hitters Haley Kain (13 kills) and Julia Brown (13 kills), middle hitter Jasmine Lindor (9 kills) and setter Jennifer Hart (30 assists).
Hough entered the match clicking on all cylinders and fresh off avenging last year's semifinals loss to Ardrey Kell with a 3-0 win in Thursday's third-round match.
"I think there was maybe a little bit more experience on our side," said Hough coach Sandi Skidmore. "I think that last year we were at this point and we're motivated to get back there and go even further this time."
There was a scary moment in the second game when Kain fell to the court and clutched her right knee with the Huskies leading 19-15. However, after having her injury examined for several minutes on the sideline, Kain returned to the lineup.
Just five service points later, she converted her seventh kill of the match – and fifth of the second game – to the loudest cheers of the match, putting the Huskies up 22-17.
"I could see that my team was concerned," said Skidmore, "but I got in the huddle and told them, 'We have 14 girls that can play at anytime, so someone is going to take her spot and we'll keep on going.'
"It was real big (to get Kain back on the court)," Skidmore continued. "I think it put momentum back on our side. This was probably the best game she's had all year – by far. She would be my MVP if I had to give one today."
Sophomore middle hitter Emma Mitchell led Charlotte Catholic (25-3) with 11 kills.
The Huskies, who will play the winner of Mount Tabor (the only team to defeat them this season) and Southern Alamance, have yet to drop a game through four playoff matches.
"Catholic is scrappy and they don't make mistakes," said Skidmore. "I told my team (Friday) in practice that we can't have the lapses that we've had in some of the other games because these girls are going to help us out – and they didn't."

10 Top Communication Mistakes
10 Top Communication Mistakes
No one is a perfect communicator, especially when our emotions are involved. It's easy to say the wrong thing, take something the wrong way, or make assumptions that can quickly lead to disagreements and hurt feelings. Here are 10 of the top communication mistakes that people make and how to avoid them:
Not talking face to face. Talking over texts or email is fine for minor conversations, but you should never have an important talk this way. When you can't hear someone's voice, as you can on the phone or in person, it's all too easy to mistake their tone and take something the wrong way. When someone says "fine" or "whatever" in a text message, it's hard to tell if they're cheerful or cold. There are so many subtleties in our tone of voice that can easily lead a conversation one way or another, and they are missed when you're dealing in written communication. Next time you want to have an important conversation, make sure to do it in person.
Assuming they know what you want. Your partner is not a mind reader, so if you want them to do something you need to be able to just come right out and say it. It's not fair to be mad or sulky because they weren't able to guess what you need or want from them. Don't make the assumption that they will anticipate your every need – just come out and tell them instead, and there won't be any confusion.

Adventure Dates
Adventure Dates
Summer is the perfect time to ditch dinner and a movie and do something wild and crazy on a date. The weather is hot and there's a feeling of spontaneity that comes with summer, so take advantage and try one, or all, of these adventurous date ideas:
· Hiking. Strap on a pack and set out on a hike. Choose a trail that's appropriate for your level of expertise and take your partner out for a day of fun. Hiking is a fun way to do something adventurous and gives us a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that feels great when we reach the top. There can also be a playful, competitive spirit at play as you hike, which can make the date even more fun.
· White water rafting. Find a guide, or a group to go with, and take your partner out to ride the rapids. The freezing cold, rushing water will keep your heart and adrenaline pumping, and will give you a fun, physical challenge as well.
· Bungee jumping. This isn't for the faint of heart, but if you're looking for something truly adventurous, then this is the date for you. You will bond with your partner over the fear and thrill of doing something so crazy together.

When word spread that Harvard would increase financial aid to both the middle and upper classes, tensions boiled at schools across the country. It was bad enough that Harvard attracted the best and the brightest from every nook and cranny—now they would be inexpensive too. Some guys have all the luck.
To be fair, Duke did beat Harvard in the financial aid race by being the first to announce their plan to pour an extra $13 million into the financial aid program, but their promise was simply not as impressive as the one offered by Harvard. When Duke capped their student loans to prevent debt, Harvard eliminated loans altogether—and replaced them with scholarships.
After Duke announced that parental contributions would no longer be expected from families who made less than $60,000, Harvard (which had already established that policy in 2006), announced that families making between $60,000 and $120,000 would only be required to contribute 0-10 percent of their income. Those making between $120,000 and $180,000 would only have to pay 10 percent of it.
Shortly thereafter, Stanford jumped on the bandwagon by saying that they too would do more to make their school affordable. According to The Stafford Daily, the school made plans to increase their need-based aid by 15.2 percent. The change would save the average parent $2,000 each year.
The trickle down effect also influenced other schools. Among those with New Year's resolutions involving financial aid boosts are the University of Pennsylvania, Tufts, Haverford and Swarthmore.
Of course, not everyone gets to benefit. It's easy to be a philanthropist when you have large endowments in the bank, which not all schools can boast. Students at colleges and universities with less money or larger student bodies were not as satisfied with their financial aid offices. According to The Michigan Daily, the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor would not only leave their policies as they are, they would continue—like many other colleges—to raise their prices. So much for that financial aid revolution we've all been waiting for.
January 11, 2008
This year has not been a good one for college financial aid officials. The problems began when New York's Attorney General Andrew Cuomo spearheaded a seemingly endless number of investigations into whether student lenders and financial aid officials had been teaming up at the expense of students. Then there were the stories about study abroad advisors receiving trips by convincing students to travel, and then there were those of athletic departments allowing lenders to use their logos for profit. If the words "financial" and "college" were in the same sentence, the things in between weren't good.
But a new year has arrived, and with it, hope for a better financial future in higher education-- which is exactly what's expected. Based on new reports from Illinois State University's Grapevine Project, state tax appropriations for higher education are expected to rise and give hope to students worried about high costs and low scruples.
North Dakota is expected to experience the greatest percentage change from last year, increasing their yearly state tax appropriations for higher education by 19.1 percent. Next on the list are Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Arizona, each of which has raised their higher education appropriations by 14 to 15 percent. California, while not promising a particularly large percentage increase, is the one expected to appropriate most, over $11 million. With the exception of Rhode Island (which plans to lower appropriations), every state is creating this year's budgets with higher education in mind.
January 15, 2008
In the wake of a student loan scandal that has made families weary of financial aid officials, lenders and the National Association of Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), the financial aid industry is eager to demonstrate a willingness for change--especially NASFAA.
The massive financial aid organization representing students and financial aid officials at more than 3,000 schools across the nation has made it clear that they are reevaluating the way their organization is run. Like numerous colleges, NASFAA has adopted a new code of ethics that will govern the way they work with student lenders and students.
In addition to the code, NASFAA has announced the appointment of a new president and CEO to replace Dallas Martin, the president who, after 32 years of work, retired amidst scrutiny of ill relations with lenders. Newly appointed President Dr. Philip R. Day has previously served as the chancellor of City College of San Francisco. He has also been the president of Beach Community College, Cape Cod Community College and Dundalk Community College. In a NASFAA news report, Dr. Day stated that he was, "committed to advancing NASFAA's mission."
January 16, 2008
An audit released by the Department of Education's Office of Inspector General on January 9, 2008 points to problems in financial aid disbursements. Based on audit results, over $1.5 billion in financial aid was awarded to students whose FAFSA responses were either questionable or made them ineligible for aid.
Stated problems included Pell grant overpayments, awards exceeding loan eligibility, citizenship questionability, lack of Selective Service registration and awards offered to students with drug convictions.
Over $812 million was said to be disbursed to 86,246 students who had not resolved their citizenship confirmation problems. More than $447 was offered to males not registered with the Selective Service and over $3 million to students convicted for drug-related matters.
Officials from the Federal Student Aid Department responded by stating that the, "Risk suggested by the report is overstated." They also claimed the audit had not taken into account additional security measures the department used to minimize errors.
January 17, 2008
It's no secret that student lenders have had a rough '07. After an investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo revealed that student lenders had been forming illegal agreements with colleges that promoted their services, the spotlight was cast on negative aspects of student borrowing.
Even though newly established ethics codes are likely force the lending industry to clean up its act, students are not likely to have better borrowing experiences. The poor housing market has not only affected those looking for mortgages, but also those in need of student loans. To be eligible for loans and loan consolidations, students will soon need proof of greater savings and higher credit scores. According to a CNN report, even students who show promise may see their interests rates increase by an estimated 1 percent.
At the same time, the rewards they receive for paying on time are expected to decrease. After the Higher Education Access Act of 2007 minimized student lender subsidies offered by the government, numerous lenders minimized their student benefits. The savings students were used to receiving for good payment track records are expected to curtail or disappear altogether.
As always, students have other options. Debt can pose a heavy burden on college graduates, so loans should be used as a last resort. Instead, students can use scholarships to diminish the costs of a postsecondary education. By conducting a free college scholarship search at Scholarships.com, students will have access to a database containing information on more than 2.7 million college scholarships and grants. Just about everyone can find awards they are eligible to receive.
January 18, 2008
Tuition hikes and complaints about illegal behavior on the part of financial aid officials and student lenders have put the pressure on colleges to dip into their endowment funds. With new reports showing that endowment returns are on the rise, these pressures are likely to increase.
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, a recently released statement by Commonfund, an endowment manager for more than 1,900 colleges and nonprofit organizations, has shown that returns were averaging 16.9 percent in 2007, up from 10.6 percent the previous year.
Unlike one-time student scholarships, endowments are used to annually award money to college students. These funds are kept intact by investing the original donation and using the returns to provide students with yearly scholarships.
News of funding bounty is likely to prompt legislators to put additional pressure on schools with large endowment funds. Wealthy colleges, some of which are said to have accumulated endowments in excess of $1 billion, are being criticized for keeping their money locked up during a time when student debt is at an all-time high.
The problem with spending more, argue schools, is a strict endowment use policy. Many scholarship providers donate money on the condition that it be used only to assist a designated group of students. For example, a donor may choose to set up an endowment for the sole purpose of helping female students who play croquet, major in English and have a GPA above 3.5 (okay, maybe that's a bit of a stretch). Point being, schools are legally bound to award scholarships to students that meet particular requirements.
It's hard to argue with that, but perhaps legislators can do something about the whole "legally-bound" part.

Nervous about economic turmoil and the uncertainty associated with oversized college loans, students are increasingly turning to community colleges for a low-cost alternative to a postsecondary education. Though certainly lower in cost, some students still need assistance in affording local schools. According to a recent study conducted by the Project on Student Debt, federal loans are not always an option for these students.
Based on the report, 20 percent of community college students living in eight states do not have access to low-interest federal loans. In Georgia, the state which fared worst, about 60 percent of community colleges did not participate in the federal loan program. Throughout the nation, the problem was most severe in low-income areas where students were most likely to seek out federal student aid in the form of loans.
After interviewing administrators at nonparticipating schools, it was found that the most cited reason for not taking part in the program was a fear that high default rates would lead to sanctions on Pell Grant disbursements to students. According to federal regulations, colleges with student default rates that exceed 25 percent for three consecutive years lose the ability to disburse the Pell Grant, a form of need-based federal aid that does not need to be repaid.
Capped at $4,310 for the 2007-2008 school year, the Pell Grant frequently suffices in making community college an option for students, especially those who work while attending school. However, the size of the grant is based on a student's Expect Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by information provided on one's FAFSA, and many complain that the form does not take into account special circumstances that could result in a student's inability to contribute the full expected amount. Families who receive no federal assistance in the form of a Pell Grant and those who receive an insufficient amount may be forced to take out more expensive private loans to attend. If ineligible, they may have to work until college is an affordable option.
April 18, 2008
On Thursday, the US House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at halting the mass leave of student lenders from the federal loan program. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, more than 50 lenders have left the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program to date. The growing departure has left families fearing that students will have no one to turn to for financial assistance once their Pell Grants and savings run dry.
To lessen the plight of FFEL lenders and students who depend on them for financial assistance, the bill would allow the Secretary of Education to purchase loans student lenders were not able to sell to investors. By pouring money into the loan market, the Department of Education would enable student lenders to use their capital for issuing new loans rather than paying out the original ones.
The new bill also addressed the lender of last resort, an emergency plan wherein guaranty agencies would be forced to lend money to students who were turned away by other lenders. Under the new plan, the Department of Education would have permission to advance funding to the agencies if need should arise.
To make the transition from the FFEL to the lender of last resort loan program easier on students, loans would be petitioned for on a college by college basis rather than a student by student one. Based on previous outlines of the untested program, students in need of a lender of last resort loan would have had to seek permission from the Department of Education and prove that at least two lenders had turned them down before receiving money.
A bill similar to the House version was introduced but not yet addressed by the Senate. Before the ideas are implemented, both the House and the Senate will have to iron out differences and send the final version to the president for approval.
April 22, 2008
To alleviate the affects of the intensifying credit crunch, Sallie Mae has been lobbying for government assistance. In past months, student lenders have been struggling to find buyers for both their loans and their loan securities. Sallie Mae, the largest student lender in the business, has turned to the government for assistance, asking that the US Treasury assuage loan market tensions by purchasing their securities.
In yesterday's PBS Nightly Business Report, specialty finance analyst Sameer Gokhale and student loan expert Tom Stanton weighed in on the potential effects of such a move. According to Sameer Gokhale, a quick infusion of cash from the Treasury would, "help all of those lenders and ultimately result in a smoother flow of capital back into the student loan system."
Tom Stanton took a different approach claiming that federal intervention was not yet necessary. "In its last year as a government sponsored enterprise, Sallie Mae made something like 73 percent return on equity, a very generous return. There's no need at this point to go back to the government and get support," he stated.
Even if student lenders continue to drop out of the government's FFEL program and assistance such as that requested by Sallie Mae is not offered by the Treasury, students will have federal student aid resources to rely on. A Department of Education lender of last resort measure wherein the government would act as a lender to students denied loans by other lenders would prevent financial catastrophe, but according to the Nightly Business Report Correspondent Stephanie Dhue, resorting to such a plan would be more time consuming than enhancing funds for the one already in place.
The lender of last resort is yet untested, and, although details are being addressed by Congress, setting up the new program could be painstaking for schools. However, with the Chronicle of Higher Education citing more than fifty FFEL student lender departures, the program may be put into action regardless.

As far as we know, there isn't one. Let's begin by addressing your first question: if there is no catch, who's paying for this, and what's their work incentive? The answer is FlatWorld, and, if things go right for the new company, guidebooks, work materials and requests for in-print versions will be sufficient to cover labor costs and to generate profits.
Since 2007, FlatWorld has been crafting their innovative idea, and it plans to make services available to the public by 2009. The diversity of their textbook selections and the facility of their use will largely determine the success of their new venture, but students aware of FlatWorld will probably, at the very least, check out their site. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the average college student spends over $900 on textbooks—annually. Being able to pocket a good chunk of that money will significantly alleviate financial burdens caused by increasing college rates.
Electronic book versions are not exactly new, and companies less geared towards college students dealing with unregulated textbook costs have already offered similar services. Electronic books in general are growing in popularity, especially the fee-based ones. If you've done some Amazon shopping or people watched on the train in recent months, you're probably familiar with the new Amazon electronic reading device. It's catching on quickly, but, truth be told, there's just something about physically holding a piece paper. As much as I love branches, I couldn't help but print out class articles en masse during finals week, ones I could have easily browsed online. (In my defense, I did fit four pages on one sheet.) The ability to quickly scribble a note, double star a sentence or circle a key word just makes the learning process more interactive and complete.
Still, I'm willing to bet that dishing out $120 for a textbook that can't be resold due to future edition changes can make a little inconvenience worthwhile. Most money management tactics can. And FlatWorld is doing its best to make up in ease what they lose in "that special something". By making their texts editable to both students and the professors who assign them, they have made their options a bit more user friendly and appealing. Readers can even interact with each other during the reading process—I smell an attractive cliff note opportunity. Dragging your desktop to the quad may be a bit of a pain, but being able to afford vacation time may give you an incentive.

But down i-95 in Wilmington, Delaware, there's a case that just won't wait for the skies to clear. It's a battle over who will appear on the November 6 ballot for a State Senate See more +
But down i-95 in Wilmington, Delaware, there's a case that just won't wait for the skies to clear. It's a battle over who will appear on the November 6 ballot for a State Senate seat.
Earlier this month, Republican candidate Eric Bodenweiser dropped out of the race days before he was arrested on charges of sexually abused a juvenile in the late 1980s. He denies the charges. The Democratic and Republican parties are now battling over whether he can be replaced on the ballot.
As the storm's outer bands began to arrive Sunday night, lawyers at Wilmington's Young Conaway, representing the Democratic Party, were hard at work. They filed a motion for a stay in Delaware Chancery Court and had two hearings. When they lost, they filed an appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court and an 11-page memorandum of law.
All the while, they were arranging a backup plan in case they lost power and couldn't electronically file their documents. And they were helping their counterparts at the State Attorney General's office, who represent state elections officials, because the state's computer servers went down Sunday night.
Once the Republican Party's lawyers at the law firm Saul Ewing file their paperwork, the parties expect another hearing either later tonight or tomorrow.
Hurricane Sandy is expected to slam into the coast just a big north of Wilmington, but all the lawyers involved in this elections case are proving they won't let a little rain and wind get in the way of their case. See less -

Good tools are essential for administering MySQL. You'd be well advised to use some of the excellent tools that are already available, widely tested, and popular, such as Percona Toolkit (nee Maatkit). When we are introduced to new servers, practically the first thing we do is run pt-summary and pt-mysql-summary. If we're working on a server, we'll probably be watching it and any related servers in another terminal running innotop.
Monitoring tools are a more complicated topic, because they're so central to the organization. If you're an open source advocate and you want to use open source monitoring systems, you might try either the combination of Nagios and Cacti with Baron's Cacti templates, or Zabbix if you don't mind its complicated interface. If you want a commercial tool for monitoring MySQL, MySQL Enterprise Monitor is quite well done, and we know a lot of happy users. If you want something capable of monitoring your whole environment, and all of the software and hardware in it, you will need to do your own investigation—that is a bigger topic than we can tackle in this book.

Cheesemonger, you always set up the best places. My wife is still having stomach problems (even after a major surgery) so we have to lie low still. I really appreciate the meetups you organize, even if we have done a poor job of supporting them so far.
