text: FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAM The purpose of Federal Work Study (FWS) program is to provide students with part-time employment to help meet college costs and, if possible, provide work experience in a related field. FWS is federally funded and need-based. Your eligibility is determined from information you provide on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA. To be eligible, you must show need on your federal need analysis report. The number of hours you may work will depend upon your financial need. A variety of FWS positions are available. Virtually every college and department uses FWS in some capacity. READY TO GET STARTED? Requirements Applying Job Openings Work Study Guidelines Community Service Supervisor Home BASIC REQUIREMENTS Be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident; Show need on your FAFSA or Renewal Application need analysis report Maintain satisfactory academic progress Be enrolled at least half-time as an undergraduate or graduate student; and Not have defaulted on or owe a refund to any aid program. Students must sign the application form which informs them that their employment is dependent upon the return of a satisfactory criminal/sexual offender background check. APPLY You must have a completed FAFSA on file to verify your eligibility to participate in the Federal Work-Study Program. Once you have verified your eligibility you may begin the search our list of Job Openings. Openings will post the first day of classes for the current term. For more information on Federal Work Study program contact Mrs. Karen Roland by email, or call 256.824.2759. JOB OPENINGSUAH allows students to view current opening and choose which positions they wish to apply for. The current openings list will provide you with a contact person, phone number, and brief job description. It is up to the student to make the initial contact with the department and request and interview. How will I be notified if I am hired? Make sure that the contact person that you interview with has a current phone number or email address to contact you. The supervisor that wishes to employ you will contact you once they have completed their interviews.Once you have been hired, complete the employment application. Your hiring supervisor will need to email Mrs. Karen Roland and request you, the student, by first and last name, ID number, and email address. Human Resources will initiate the background check process through Certified Background. Certified Background will send an evite to the student's email. The student should promptly complete the evite request. Human Resources will receive the results of the background check in approximately 3 days, and they will notify Mrs. Roland of the results. Mrs. Roland will notify your supervisor that you, the student, may begin your paperwork for employment. The supervisor will then direct you to the Office of Student Financial Services (University Center, Room 212) to complete paperwork for payroll (please bring your social security card and valid driver's license) for documentation. WORK-STUDY PAYROLL INFORMATION Web time entry time sheets are available online once your paperwork has been completed for hire. The Office of Student Financial Services will provide information on submission.Receiving a Paycheck Two options are available for check distribution. Checks may be directly deposited into the student's checking or any bank or credit union savings account located within the Continental United States that is a member of the automated clearinghouse, or students may pick-up their checks in the Payroll Office (151Shelby King Hall) on pay day with a valid photo ID. Work-study students are paid biweekly. Students may pick up paychecks every other Friday (alternating weeks when time sheets are due)or you may choose to do a Direct Deposit Form that must be completed and turned into the Payroll Office. Late Time Sheet Submission Work Study students can download a printable time sheet. TopGENERAL WORK STUDY GUIDELINES Work-Study is a part-time job. Workers will be paid for hours actually worked. Students will not be paid to study while on the job. Fringe benefits such as sick leave, vacation pay, and holidays are not a part the Federal Work-Study Program. Students will not be paid for hours worked in excess of the amount approved for. Departments will be required to cover excess hours worked over and above the amount the student has been awarded. Students who accept a Federal Work-Study position are expected to work the entire award period, be punctual, and perform efficiently. Students should notify supervisors when illness or unforeseen circumstances prevent attendance. Work-Study students must not work over their specified number of hours unless given permission by the Financial Aid Office. Students and their supervisors are encouraged to make every attempt to resolve any differences. In the event that this cannot be accomplished, students should consult with a Financial Aid Administrator for possible reassignment. Student employment is contingent upon satisfactory results of a criminal/sexual offender background check. The Office of Student Financial Services may terminate a student's employment at any time upon determination that the student is no longer meeting eligibility requirements. Such action most commonly results from the student receiving resources which were not known at the time the award was made; it is therefore important that the student report any subsequent changes in financial resources as they occur.Remember, work-study assignments are for one year only! Students may be re-hired in subsequent years by re-establishing eligibility.

As dazzling as the clear midnight sky in the high desert, this gemstone ring shimmers with ethereal beauty. At its gleaming heart is a large marquise-shaped cabochon of deep blue drusy. Partnering with the gemstone for this dynamic dance is highly polished sterling silver in a bead and braid design. This tribute to Southwestern glamour measures 1" long x 1" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
On clear nights, the night sky shimmers with the brilliance of starlight. Evoking the romance of a moonlight night, cobalt blue and platinum drusy sparkle with elegance, while lapis is a polished accent for the fashionable, shimmering stones.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Journal of New Netherland 1647. Written in the Years 1641, 1642, 1643, 1644, 1645, and 1646
Willem Kieft (1597–1647) was a Dutch merchant who was appointed by the West India Company as director-general of New Netherland in 1638. Kieft instituted a harsh policy toward the Indians of the colony, whom he attempted to tax and drive from their land. In 1643, a contingent of soldiers under Kieft attacked a Raritan village on Staten Island in a dispute over pigs allegedly stolen from a Dutch farm. This led to the bloody, two-year conflict known as Kieft's war, which raged in parts of what is now ...

Taylor Phinney of the BMC Racing Team averaged more than 50 kilometers an hour Saturday to win the opening stage of the Giro d'Italia in Herning, Denmark, and become only the third American to wear the maglia rosa of race leader.
Nine-Second Victory
Starting 17th-to-last of the 198 riders, Phinney blazed across the 8.7-kilometer course on his BMC timemachine TM01 in 10:26, nine seconds faster than runner-up Geraint Thomas (Sky Procycling). In taking the lead of the three-week race, Phinney joins Christian Vande Velde (2008) and Andy Hampsten (1988) as the only U.S. riders to lead the Giro in its 95-year history. Afterwards, the Boulder, Colo., resident said he was confident heading into his first Giro. "I've been thinking about this for a really long time, this jersey and this win," Phinney said. "I knew warming up today I felt really good and I've done a lot to prepare for it. I have to thank the team for supporting me and putting me on the perfect trajectory to get to this race – especially (BMC Racing Team Assistant Director) Max Sciandri, who lives near me (in Italy)."
Reconnaissance Was Key
Phinney said he rode the course "about 10 times" in the days leading up to the race, with his final reconnaissance being key. "It was important to get on the course today because of the way they set up the barriers," he said. "It was a little bit different than the way they were the other days." Phinney said he would like to hold onto the race lead until the race returns to Italy for Stage 4 Wednesday. "We'll take it day-by-day," he said. "But I'd like to keep it until at least the team time trial in Verona. To be able to sport it in Italy would be pretty special." Saturday's victory was the BMC Racing Team's second stage win in three Giro appearances, adding to one by Cadel Evans in 2010. Evans is also the only other BMC Racing Team rider to wear the maglia rosa (also in 2010).
Place In History
Phinney becomes the eighth American to win a stage of the Giro d'Italia, joining Ron Kiefel (1985), Greg LeMond (1986), Andy Hampsten (1988), Tyler Hamilton (2002), Fred Rodriguez (2004), David Zabriskie (2005, 2008) and Tyler Farrar (2010). The 2010 U.S. national time trial champion also won the prologue of the Eneco Tour last year and was an integral member of the BMC Racing Team's winning team time trial squad at the Giro del Trentino last month. Another member of that Trentino squad, Marco Pinotti, finished eighth Saturday, 24 seconds behind Phinney.
Santaromita Crashes
The BMC Racing Team's day was not without incident, as Ivan Santaromita crashed between kilometers two and three in his Giro debut. "I maybe took the turn too fast," Santaromita said. "I don't know exactly what happened, but I felt my front wheel sliding and I crashed. The first kilometer after that was painful and my moral was down, but I got my rhythm back with three or four kilometers remaining." Though his injuries were not serious, Santaromita does have abrasions on his right elbow and wrist and left leg.

Alessandro Ballan was one of several aggressors on the BMC Racing Team who tried to make Monday's breakaway on the penultimate stage at Tirreno-Adriatico.
Ballan On Good Form
Several times, the former world road champion was in moves that threatened to break from the peloton – including one on the first climb only 17 kilometers into the 181 km race. "The start was really fast and really hard," Ballan said. "I'm happy because I went in the breakaway three times. Afterwards, I tried to help the team for the finish but my legs are really tired. For me, this has been a good test for the next classic." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said Ballan has ridden himself into form on what has been an extremely hard race. "Alessandro is in good shape and probably has the best legs for us even though he hasn't gotten a result." Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha) won the race from a small group while Chris Horner (RadioShack-Nissan) kept the overall lead. Tuesday's final stage is a 9.3 km individual time trial. "We'll see how much Marco Pinotti or Cadel Evans want to push it," Baldato said. "This has been a hard race with four or five very hard days."

Our next Foundations session starts November 3rd! The course will run four weeks on Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30pm for a total of 8 sessions. Foundations is designed to introduce beginning CrossFit athletes to the movements and lifts that we utilize in our normal classes. If you're looking to get started with CrossFit, this is a tremendous way to start. You will learn the basics, and you will gradually build up to the intensity that we utilize in our daily classes. This will allow for a safe and thorough start to your CrossFit life. In addition, we feel that starting with a group of beginners is less intimidating than jumping in with people who may have been doing CrossFit for years. If you haven't heard of CrossFit, or want to know more about what it is, this article does a tremendous job of describing what you can expect: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/03/01/a-beginners-guide-to-crossfit/ Please feel free to email firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions or concerns.

The Wildcats had already defeated East Paulding and Paulding County rather convincingly, but found themselves down 24-6 after losing six straight matches in the championship finals to Allatoona on Saturday.
"Then we showed what this program is made of," Woodland coach Adrian Tramutola said.
The Wildcats won their fourth straight area duals championship, 37-30, by closing out their match against Allatoona with four straight victories.
Isaiah Ross started it by winning the 195-pound division with a pin. Nathaniel Lehman then pinned his opponent in the 220-pound division. Those two victories were then followed by A.J. Wilson winning by decision in the heavyweight division and Logan Sims getting a pin in the 106-pound division.
Woodland was down by two points heading into the heavyweight division and then up by one point with Wilson's 11-4 win by decision.
"The six losses in a row were unexpected, but fortunately you have 14 weight classes that gives teams like us today the opportunity to comeback from an early deficit," Tramutola said.
By virtue of their comeback, the Wildcats qualified for the GHSA Team Dual Wrestling State Tournament to be held this coming weekend at the Macon Centreplex.
Prior to winning its match against Allatoona, Woodland had defeated East Paulding, 51-30, and Paulding County, 53-24.
Woodland will learn what seed it will be at the state tournament during a scheduled meeting that is to be held at GHSA's office in Thomaston this afternoon.
"Seeding will be determined by your record, wins and losses and common opponents," said Tramutola, who will be attending the meeting.
First-round matches for Area AAAAA wrestling teams will start Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Championship matches for all classifications will be held Saturday starting at noon.
"We are very excited to win the area duals four years in a row, and we are just as excited about competing for the state championship once again," Tramutola said.
Woodland was the state runner-up last year, the state champs the year before that, and had a top six finish in 2010.
Wrestling coaches from Adairsville, Cass and Cartersville were all wishing they could duplicate Tramutola's statement, but neither of the three Bartow County wrestling programs finished in the top two of their respective area duals.

Gerald Burkhart keeps a log that has the information on every person he buys items from for his flea market. Burkhart purchased some items from a man that would return to the store to rob him. Burkhart's friend Richard Ray, left, comes in to help out and give support. Gerald Burkhart helps out look for some harmonicas at his flea market. After a year in business at the Highway 29 Indoor Fleamarket, Burkhart plans to sell out his inventory and close up shop because he has been robbed twice recently. Photo by Jon C.

Monterey County and California American Water have reached a deal on the failed regional desalination project that includes cooperation on Cal Am's new water supply proposal for the Peninsula.
The agreement comes a week before critical hearings on the new project.
The settlement agreement, signed by county officials Tuesday, allows the county to recoup most of its estimated $4 million investment in the failed project in exchange for agreeing not to enforce its ordinance on public desal ownership against the new proposal. The $400 million project calls for a Cal Am-owned desal plant north of Marina.
As part of the deal, Cal Am will forgive the $1.92 million it advanced the county's Water Resources Agency for the failed project and will reimburse the county about $1.48 million more.
In response, the county will drop its pending lawsuit against Cal Am in San Francisco County Superior Court that sought a ruling on whether the county's public ownership rule applied to the new project.
The cost reimbursement excludes any pre-2009 expenses and any legal costs associated with an alleged conflict of interest involving former county water board member Steve Collins.
In addition, the county agrees to support the new project before the state Public Utilities Commission and other regulatory agencies, while Cal Am agrees to support a public governance proposal from the Peninsula regional water authority.
Cal Am also agrees it will attempt to limit its draw of desal source water to the shallow part of the Salinas Valley aquifer, a key priority of farming interests, and pay for a groundwater monitoring program to be created by the county water agency.
The Peninsula is facing a state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River that takes full effect at the end of 2016, and needs a replacement source.
Praise for agreement
County Counsel Charles McKee, who led the negotiations, said the county established a "very advantageous position" with the settlement, retrieving the bulk of its regional project costs while preserving its oversight authority — with the exception of the public ownership rule, which he said might not have been enforceable against Cal Am.
"I think it's a very positive agreement for the county and the Water Resources Agency," McKee said. "There's support (for the new desal proposal), but there are limits to the support."
County Supervisors Simon Salinas and Dave Potter praised the agreement in a statement as part of a news release issued by Cal Am on Tuesday. Salinas lauded the reimbursement of county funds, and Potter noted the importance of Cal Am agreeing to back the regional water authority's public oversight plan.
Cal Am President Rob MacLean touted the agreement as a way to move forward with a new Peninsula water supply.
"We're pleased to be able to put these disputed items behind us," MacLean said in the statement. "We can now concentrate on the work at hand, which is to provide a new, long-term, reliable source of potable water for our customers on the Monterey Peninsula."
Supervisor Jane Parker said she still has concerns about the lack of public ownership of the desal plant and about Cal Am's willingness to cooperate with the regional water authority on public oversight, suggesting the authority hasn't been assertive enough with its proposal.
Cal Am spokeswoman Catherine Bowie said the company is supporting its own, revised version of the authority's oversight proposal.
David Chardavoyne, general manager of the county water agency, said in the statement that the "robust" groundwater monitoring program would play a key part in "protecting the health" of the Salinas Valley water basin.
Ownership rule not dead
The agreement calls for Cal Am to seek PUC approval for the agreement, including permission to recover the payment to the county from water customers in its Monterey district. The company has already been authorized by the PUC to recover about $32 million in project costs from its local customers.
McKee said the county will continue to seek a rehearing on a PUC decision regarding the public ownership ordinance in an attempt to preserve the rule and oversight of any other desal proposals. The PUC has ruled that the ordinance is pre-empted by the commission's authority over Cal Am.
McKee said the county continues to support the "concept" of public desal ownership, though he added there's a recognition that Cal Am should take the lead on its proposed desal plant. He said the regional water authority's public governance proposal will play a "very important" role in the project oversight.
Cal Am and the county have been negotiating for months over how to resolve the remaining issues on the failed desal proposal, including millions of dollars in outstanding bills. The regional project, in which Cal Am and the county were partners with the Marina Coast Water District, fell apart amid Collins' alleged conflict of interest and environmental litigation issues.
Marina Coast, which has insisted the regional project agreements are still valid and estimates it has spent about $10 million on the proposal, is not included in the settlement agreement. Neither county nor Cal Am officials would discuss the status of any discussions with the district. District officials are also seeking a rehearing of the PUC's pre-emption decision.
The PUC will host a cost workshop on the new desal project Tuesday through Thursday next week, and a prehearing conference on that Thursday, at its headquarters in San Francisco.

A peek into my past: When Tim and I moved to Portland nine years ago we didn't have jobs waiting for us and we didn't have a place to live already chosen. We arrived in Portland completely free of commitments to adulthood. It was challenging, exciting, and incredibly enjoyable. Our first week was spent in a motel with a small kitchenette. We were not vegan at the time and our cooking skills were average at best.
When we finally found an apartment, I was elated that the kitchen was spacious with big windows lining two of the walls. It was a great apartment (aside from the monstrous black spiders that found pleasure by residing in the bathroom). We took advantage of our large cooking area and created and feasted on some delicious meals. We honed our cooking and baking skills. Meanwhile, I was working at a local kitchen/housewares store just down the street. Our kitchen slowly filled with all sorts of fun appliances.
And then, I discovered a recipe by Marcy Goldman (check out this amazing baking book she wrote – it is filled with incredible recipes, many which can be veganized!) that knocked my socks off – Original Buttermilk Lawsuit Muffins. I was making batches and batches of these muffins for co-workers and also for Tim and I to enjoy at home. They were (are) insanely addictive.
Back to the present: I mentioned to Tim yesterday afternoon that I wanted to make some muffins. He immediately requested "those buttermilk muffins" and I couldn't resist. The recipe was easy to veganize and since I've made a few changes, I am sharing the recipe here so you too, can enjoy yummy muffins!
Banana Pecan Muffins (adapted from betterbaking.com)
Yield: 1 dozen muffins
Streusel Topping:
1 Tablespoon nondairy butter, chilled
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
Muffin Batter:
1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk (I used almond milk)
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup coconut oil
2/3 cup light brown sugar (use 1/2 cup if you prefer a less sweet muffin)
1/4 cup pureed silken tofu
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
zest from one large lemon
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium bananas, diced
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper liners (or lightly grease).
2. Using your fingers, mix together the streusel ingredients in a small bowl until crumbly. Set aside.
3. Add milk and vinegar to a glass measuring cup, stir briefly, and set aside to curdle.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, pureed tofu, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Add the curdled milk and stir well.
5. In a separate bowl, stir together flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and stir until no flour is visible. Fold in diced bananas.
6. Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, fill muffin liners to the top. Sprinkle streusel mixture evenly over muffin batter. Press gently to prevent streusel from falling off.
7. Bake muffins for 25-30 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Muffins should be golden and spring back when gently pressed. Allow muffins to cool briefly in tin before removing and placing on a cooling rack.
