Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch set to launch iPad newspaper?
Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Newcorp head Rupert Murdoch may just be ready to test the waters with an iPad (and tablet) only "newspaper" called The Daily:
The collaboration, which has been secretly under development in New York for several months, promises to be the world's first "newspaper" designed exclusively for new tablet-style computers such as Apple's iPad, with a launch planned for early next year.
Intended to combine "a tabloid sensibility with a broadsheet intelligence", the publication represents Murdoch's determination to push the newspaper business beyond the realm of print.
Like the Kindle, this new style "newspaper" would be pushed automatically to iPad owners so they could just turn on their device and start reading. Jesse Angelo, managing editor of New York Post is rumored to be coming on as editor.
Several things are true: traditional print news is on the decline, iPad sales are soaring and competing devices in the same class will finally start appearing next year, Apple needs a good subscription content service, and Newscorp needs to find a way to sell premium content to support their news gathering.
If they could line everything up correctly, would you be interested in The Daily?

Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch set to launch iPad newspaper?
I'd buy a decent daily for no more than $0.50 per day. Even with "premium" content, it would be worth no more than that.
I'd buy if there was real reporting (not stories based on wire service stories), interesting content and something of value that I don't receive today - all the reasons why I don't buy a newspaper today. And it has to be worth the subscription because I will not pay a premium because it's on a new platform.
I've heard that it will be .99 a week with Apple doing the app building. This is the only possible way I could see doing. Apple doing what it does well and a .99 a week price. Anything else would not do it for me. I have most of the details of every news story with me 24 7 for free why should I pay for a few more details that I will get eventually anyway if it's worth telling.
I woud buy ate the right price. It is the future of news gathering.
A new "newspaper" for made up "news"? No thanks.
At this point, it would have to be highly compelling, both as to content and presentation. I already take in a lot of news in the iPad. In fact, it's now the ONLY way I read news. For daily news, I subscribe to The Financial Times and PressReader (with access to hundreds of daily newspapers from around the world!), and I read my GoogleReader feeds through River of News. On top of these, I weekly read The Economist through their excellent new app, having previously read it though Zinio, another fantastic news delivery app. I can't imagine how Jobs/Murdoch could improve on what's currently available. Whatever it is, I look forward to the effort, if only because I'm always curious to see what Jobs' imagination and drive will come up with next.
Yes. Looking forward to it. I'm sensing something powerful is what this will become for news junkies like me. Press Reader for the real papers and this for the tablet type.
Without being disrespectful to The Dirty Digger, I'd rather rip off my own legs and tear out my eyes than read anything the Murdoch press wants me to read. Be it on my ipad or elsewhere ;)
Too much free news out there already. Hard to justify paying. It would have to be excellent "you heard it here first" to beat out the others. The other problem, national news is great, but everyone still wants local news. It would be neat if this new service could use your location to also report your local news. O might pay for that.
Seriously, people come on... the only valid comment is Rupert Murdoch has encouraged a disgustingly tabloid style. If you want to complain about bias, let's be fair. I've never SEEN a non-biased news agency. You'll just complain about bias if it's AGAINST your point of view and see all news in your way of thinking as "balanced"
So stop whining and just accept there's no such thing as fair news anymore... and never has been

A woman who was hired to enforce the law was caught breaking it early Monday morning on McMakin Road near Jedburg. Christina Mask, 29, an off-duty North Charleston Police Department officer was driving her fully-marked 2011 Ford Crown Victoria at about 1 a.m. when the vehicle ran off the roadway and struck a driveway culvert, according to information released by S.C. Highway Patrol Sgt. Bob Beres. Mask was charged with driving under the influence and open container, according to Beres. She was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured during the incident. Mask was booked into the Dorchester County Detention Center in Summerville.

Im sorry this is so long, im just getting kinda scared. A little backgrround info- I delivered 3 weeks early by emergency c-section with my first pregnancy due to severe preeclampsia. High BP and protein, spots, ect. All is well with my daughter 2yrs later
I am now 25 weeks today in my second pregnancy and having some symptom concerns' For the past 5 weeks ive had constant daily headaches. They have gotten so bad as to make me vomit. I have been seeing some flasing lights/floaters occasionally. For the past couple of days ive been getting really bad heartburn also. Im being treated for high blood pressure, and the medicine has been working great except for a few time that its gotten kind of high. My normal BP is around 100's/70's but lately its been reading aroud 138/88. So far ive had no protein in my urine.
Just a few days ago while at my OB appt. my BP was high again. She seems concerned about the heartburn and persistant headaches and perscribed me meds for both. She issued a 24hr urine just to be safe. She also mentiond HELLP syndrome (which i really know nothing about) and said on monday she wants to do labs and start watching me for HELLP. She also wants to start sonograms doing every 2 weeks because shes worried about the babys growth.
Fast forward to this morning, i was having an odd feeling so checked my BP which read 148/101 and has only gone down a few numbers. I also have another concern, at the moment im laying in bed feeling very weak, kind of "out of body" like. I cant really discribe it. I just feel weird, like something is going on with my body.
I guess my question is what is HELLP? Does this sound like I could be heading towards it? I really hate to be a bother to people so im not sure when i should be worried about a symptom and when i should just pass something off as pregnancy. I would just like some anwers from people who have been through similar situations. Thank you so much for taking time to help!

The option that lets you filter images by the predominant color has been added to Google Image Search's interface. Just click on "All colors" above the search results and you can choose one of the 12 available colors.
Until the new feature propagates to all Google data centers, you can still use the image filter manually and even select two predominant colors.
Google Image Search has previously added filters for photos, images that contain faces, clip arts, line drawings and I expect to see even more options that rely on image analysis. The Neven Vision acquisition will certainly bring some interesting visible results. "Neven Vision comes to Google with deep technology and expertise around automatically extracting information from a photo.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Grammatikforschung / Grammar research
- English (3) (remove)
- Grammatik (2)
- Lexikologie (1)
- Semantics of nouns and nominal number (2001)
- In the present paper, I will discuss the semantic structure of nouns and nominal number markers. In particular, I will discuss the question if it is possible to account for the syntactic and semantic formation of nominals in a parallel way, that is I will try to give a compositional account of nominal semantics. The framework that I will use is "twolevel semantics". The semantic representations and their type-theoretical basis will account for general cross-linguistic characteristics of nouns and nominal number and will show interdependencies between noun classes, number marking and cardinal constructions. While the analysis will give a unified account of bare nouns (like dog / water), it will distinguish between the different kinds of nominal terms (like a dog / dogs / water). Following the proposal, the semantic operations underlying the formation of the SR are basically the same for DPs as for CPs. Hence, from such an analysis, independent semantic arguments can be derived for a structural parallelism of nominals and sentences - that is, for the "sentential aspect" of noun phrases. I will first give a sketch of the theoretical background. I will then discuss the cross-linguistic combinatorial potential of nominal constructions, that is, the potential of nouns and number markers to combine with other elements and form complex expressions. This will lead to a general type-theoretical classification for the elements in question. In the next step, I will model the referential potential of nominal constructions. Together with the combinatorial potential, this will give us semantic representations for the basic elements involved in nominal constructions. In an overview, I will summarize our modeling of nouns and nominal number. I will then discuss in an outlook the "sentential aspect" of noun phrases.
- Grammatical properties of pronouns and their representation : an exposition (2002)
- This volume brings together a cross-section of recent research on the grammar and representation of pronouns, centering around the typology of pronominal paradigms, the generation of syntactic and semantic representations for constructions containing pronouns, and the neurological underpinnings for linguistic distinctions that are relevant for the production and interpretation of these constructions. In this introductory chapter we first give an exposition of our topic (section 2). Taking the interpretation of pronouns as a starting point, we discuss the basic parameters of pronominal representations, and draw a general picture of how morphological, semantic, discourse-pragmatic and syntactic aspects come together. In section 3, we sketch the different domains of research that are concerned with these phenomena, and the particular questions they are interested in, and show how the papers in the present volume fit into the picture. Section 4 gives summaries of the individual papers, and a short synopsis of their main points of convergence.
- WH-words are not 'interrogative' pronouns : the derivation of interrogative interpretations for constituent questions (2001)
- I discuss the status of WH-words for interrogative interpretations, and show that the derivation of constituent questions evolves from a specific interplay of syntactic and semantic representations with pragmatics. I argue that WH-pronouns are not 'interrogative'. Rather, they are underspecified elements; due to this underspecification, WH-words can form a constitutive part not only of interrogative, but also of exclamative and declarative clauses. WH-words introduce a variable of a particular conceptual domain into the semantic representation. Accordingly, they have to be specified for interpretation. Different WH-contexts give rise to different interpretations. In a cross-linguistic overview, I discuss the characteristic elements contributing to the derivation of interrogatives. I argue that specific particles or their phonologically empty counterparts in the head of CP contribute the interrogative aspect. The speech act of 'asking' is then carried out via an intonational contour that identifies a question. By default, this intonational contour operates on interrogative sentences; however, other sentence formats – in particular, those of declarative sentences – are possible as well. The distinction of (a) grammatical (syntactic, semantic and phonological) sentence formats for interrogative and declarative sentences, and (b) intonational contours serving the discrimination of speech acts like questions and assertions, can be related to psychological and neurological evidence.

dineLA is an exciting 2-week dining event created by the Los Angeles Convention and Visitor Bureau (aka LA, INC) to introduce diners to hundreds of neighborhood restaurants throughout Los Angeles County. LA's a huge county full of many great spots for food and drink. So, to help filter through over 300 participating restaurants, dineLA's invited me to call out a few restaurants offering vegetarian dineLA menu items. I live in West Hollywood, so most of my recommendations are for spots in my area.
For dineLA, participating restaurants offer a fixed 3-course menu for lunch and/or dinner…a great way to taste popular dishes. If a restaurant offers only 1 or 2 vegetarian items on their dineLA menu, many will let you order just those vegetarian items, so do ask. You'll also find a few vegan and almost raw items too.
With so many great dineLA restaurants, it was challenging to choose just 10! Here's a few vegetarian items to look for. If you prefer vegan, ask to leave off the dairy. It's that simple. Click each link below to view their dineLA menu:

New Year's Day 2012 I took a trip out to Pasadena's Rose Bowl to help with the Donate Life float for the Rose Parade, which was on Jan 2nd this year. Donate Life is an amazing organization that raises awareness so we stick that pink dot onto our driver's license, to help save lives by being an organ donor. My dad was a kidney recipient, so this organization rings very close to my heart.
This is the beautiful finished float. The folks sitting on it are the stars of the show…family members of donors from 2011. The stories I heard yesterday were so moving, and I broke into tears numerous times. One woman's 9-year old daughter had gone to the hospital for an ear infection. The hospital misdiagnosed and mistreated her (not uncommon), and she died. Her mom was proud to share how her daughter lives on in others, literally, and that her daughter has saved many lives by being a donor. You can see the portraits of each donor on 6 clock faces, a total of 72 donors are honored.
My good friend Vicky is a 'red jacket' and one of the team leaders on this huge project. She's been here working on the float for weeks from early morning until 11pm. A huge undertaking, whew.
We are all misting the flowers with water before the float is moved outdoors for judging. It was gorgeous in Pasadena, 80 degrees!
Everything on all of the floats in the Rose Parade are all organic! This means only living materials like flowers, leaves, seeds,…all put on by hand.
Look at this detail….mustard seeds painstakingly glued onto the surface. Wow.
Beans and flower petals have all been attached by hand.
This is the bed of roses underneath the clock with the moving hands at the front of the float.
Look closely and you can see each of these red roses has a wish tied onto them.
When the float moved outside into the sun, all the colors popped so brightly! You can see the driver of the float inside the open door. The driver can't see a thing, and is guided by audio by someone outside the float.
At one point, everyone held hands in a circle around the float. It was very moving. And even the judges teared up and cried when they talked with the donor families and heard all the incredible stories. Today, I discovered (since I don't have a TV to watch the parade myself) that our float won one of the top 3 trophies and the craftsmanship award for outstanding showmanship and dramatic impact over 55 feet! Yeah! I also heard that floats cost about a half a million dollars to build! Great exposure and for a wonderful cause.
This was one of the best, most memorable New Year Day's of my life. What a way to spend the 1st day of the new year. Plus, I felt like it was in honor too of my dad, who was so very blessed to have had a kidney transplant, which helped extended his life another 10 or 12 years. I learned that a liver lives for 100 years, so even after someone passes from old age, a liver can be donated to help another person live. Amazing.
I've chosen to be an organ donor for as long as I can remember, and I hope you will also consider joining me in helping save lives so someone else may live one more day! For more information check out Donate Life.
To celebrate completing my book, I spent the day on my bicycle. Rode it about 25 miles to and from the ocean, and I was stoked the sun finally came out…even in Santa Monica (which seems to always be overcast, foggy, and cold compared to West Hollywood). While I was in Santa Monica, I stopped at the beach by the pier, where there's an adult playground with ropes to climb, balance beams, parallel bars, and a row of rings to swing on.
Since I'm a monkey (Chinese year of the Monkey) I was drawn to the rings. It looked hard, but it really doesn't take strength, but rather, finesse. You just have to get enough momentum, rocking back and forth, to swing and grab the next ring. That said, my hands were killing me, and I was on the kiddie set of rings! The adult set are really high up, and scary. But, perhaps I'll give them a try next time I visit the coast.
Whenever I find myself West of the 405, which is a rarity, I make sure to stop into see Juliano at Planet Raw for his kick-ass chocolate shake….that revs up my cycle back home. Yesterday, I enjoyed a burrito at Better Life Cuisine, and spent a couple hours catching up with Dr. Z, who owns that building.
Back in WEHO, I stopped at Beverly Juice Club for my favorite green juice shake blended with frozen banana and sunflower seeds (no added sweetener). Had hoped to get to my favorite Koreatown Sauna, but ran out of time. Instead, met my friend and his puppy at the park with Kanga, and they had a great doggie play date together. Then, met up with my brother, Max, for dinner later in the evening.
A great day it was celebrating life, love, health, sunshine, and ….with good friends and family. I'm blessed.
Labor Day marks the weekend my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kanga, and I rescued one another….9-years ago! How time flies. (and yes, I cake sunblock on my face, as you can see).
Kanga had been at the Humane Society for over 2 weeks, and no one adopted her. Surprising, since she is a beautiful specimen of this breed. Plus, she came fully trained, so someone had spent a lot of time and energy with her. She was skin and bone, and 50+ pounds underweight with kennel cough and dusty fur. Poor baby.
Luckily, a truck intercepted 20 dogs on their way to get euthanized, and brought them back to a no-kill shelter in Portland, OR called Family Dogs NW. This was where I found Kanga early the very next morning. I applied the same raw food principles to Kanga as I do for human healing, and over the next month or two she gained 50 pounds and regained radiant health on a Raw Food diet. You can read more about her journey in Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, where Kanga has her own dog food chapter.
My brother Max saw this photo of Kanga and said she looks like she's "mugging". I had to ask him what the heck that means. Max said "mugging = posing, like rappers do for pics". Hahaa. Yup, Kanga is a superstar, and very popular too. Folks always stop us to pet her, especially young children.
Kanga's from Rhodesia, which is now Zimbabwe Rhodesia, and the Sahara so she loves the sun, warmth, and sand. She hates water, but it was so hot out that Kanga got her paws wet. I love dog beach because here she can roam off-leash, and run free to play with other dogs.
Kanga and I love laying in the sand and soaking up the sun. It's never hot enough for us, and soaking up sun is one of our favorite past times. I'm happy I got to take Kanga to Huntington Dog Beach yesterday on the final hot day of the summer (it was 90 F) to celebrate her 9-year Bday and Dogversary with me. Thank you Kanga for being my family, love, and for hanging out with me for the past 9-years! I love you.
I had the honor of leading Farm Sanctuary's Walk for Farm Animals with founder Gene Baur in Santa Monica. You may remember I was invited during the summer to speak at the annual Hoe Down in Watkin's Glenn, NY with China Study author Dr. Colin Campbell.
We kicked off the walk with talks by Gene and I. Kanga, my pooch, was happy to be a part of the Walk for Animals.
Tami Erin, who played Pipi Longstocking as a child, was our celebrity who came to show her support.
Gene, Tami, Kanga, and myself lead the walk. We covered about 3 miles north from City Hall through the 3rd street promenade. It was a beautiful sunny day, and tons of cars beeped to show their support as they were driving past.
The walk finished back at City Hall in Santa Monica, where Gene and I signed books. The lovely Jolia Allen and Moira Nordholt walked with us too. It was the largest turnout yet, with over 150 walkers.
I gave my digestion a break today by skipping solid food and drank Energy Soup (inspired by Ann Wigmore) all day. So, I decided to feed my hair instead with an Indian Head Massage.
Our climate's dry here in Los Angeles (a dessert), and the sun's been bright this summer, reeking havoc on my locks. My hair felt dry and my ends brittle. So, I took my bottle of organic, extra-virgin, cold pressed olive oil into the bathroom, and poured a heaping tablespoon into the palm of my hand. I massaged the oil into my scalp and hair, and worked it through to the ends. Note to self: next time, pour the oil directly onto scalp…I have a lot of hair.
Our skin is our largest organ, and you know I like to avoid putting things on my skin that I can't drink since it absorbs into my blood stream. Well, did you know our scalp is one of the most absorbent areas of our skin? Mine drank up more than a 1/4 cup of olive oil, and was happy for the increased blood flow and circulation from the massage.
I first discovered this massage, also known as Indian Head Massage, at a spa in Portland, OR. It alleviates stress and tension, increases blood flow and circulation, and promotes hair growth. Supposedly, this treatment done in the evening before bed helps alleviate sleeping issues, so I'm hoping it will cure the insomnia I've been suffering from all week long.
Choose almond, coconut, sesame, and/or olive oil since they moisturize, condition our hair, stimulate hair growth, and have a neutral scent. After your massage, wash your hair, and dry. I always choose to air dry.

I was in NYC last week for my television appearance on NBC at Rockefeller Center and several events celebrating my newest book Ani's Raw Food Essentials. I love how easy it is to get around NYC without a car by walking, taking a train, bus, or subway. I miss great public transportation when living in LA. It's also surprisingly easy to be healthy and to enjoy raw foods in NYC. I felt super lucky to be invited by the lovely Mia Andres from Organic Avenue and raw model Anthony Andersen for dinner at Pure Food and Wine.
This was my first visit to NYC in 6 years, and my first visit to Pure. I was blown away by the food! It was super fresh, beautifully plated, and really delicious. We enjoyed the S+M salad, appetizers, ravioli, lasagna, but my favorite thing ever was the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sundae! I finally got to meet the heart of Pure Food and Wine, Sarma Melngailis, who's even more beautiful in person.
I had been to Quintessence my last visit to NYC 6 years ago. It was good then, and was really good this time around again. We enjoyed tacos, burgers, sundaes, but my favorite was the bagels and cream cheese! Wish I had been there on a weekend to enjoy their raw vegan brunch menu.
I was craving Pure's Mint Chocolate Sundae, so had to make it back for one more dinner before heading back to Los Angeles. My friend Moby, a long time vegan, and my favorite electronic musician, met me in the garden for dinner along with a few friends and my cousin, Minnie Roh. We enjoyed pizza, ceviche, tamales, smoothies, drinks, lasagna, appetizers, chips and guacamole, but most importantly…a Mint Chocolate Sundae! Everyone was hooked.
To boost this blissful experience even further, Shania Twain, a friend of Moby's, and Canada's most popular musician, stopped by our table to catch up with Moby. What a way to finish up my NYC visit!
Moby was performing with his new heavy metal band DiamondSnake last night in Hollywood, where I bumped into Frances Fisher and Eva. We had a blast dancing up a storm. You can see Moby on stage behind us rocking out to his new Heavy Metal music.
Lead singer Phil Costello's voice is incredible. They have a song called Rock and Raw, give it a listen on their homepage. These guys are a funny!
It was way past my bedtime of 10pm, and I lasted to about midnight, but left before they finished their set, unfortunately. I hope to get to see DiamondSnake again, maybe along with NYC tour next month.
DiamondSnake was sporting vegan guitar straps, very cool! Choosing vegan has the biggest impact on helping to save our planet and stop animal suffering. Besides, a vegan diet, and especially a raw vegan diet, helps with weight loss, increases health and our immune system, and gives us tons of energy to rock on roll!
It's official, I now like Heavy Metal music. Moby…I love you!
During my silent 10-day Vipassina mediation last October, I had a vision to work with kids in underprivileged neighborhoods teaching them how to garden, grow food, and make healthy food. These neighborhoods lack fresh produce or healthy food options. The only way to save lives is to teach kids about food, real food. Growing our food builds confidence and self reliance. It's important for kids to understand where their food comes from.
Neelam Sharma is the Executive Director of Community Services Unlimited, Inc. and is largely responsible for the development of CSU's food justice and youth training programs. She helped create The Healthy School Food Coalition, The LA Food Justice Network, and the California Food Justice Coalition. An inspirational lady…passionate, intelligent, and beautiful.
Neelam and I met at the Expo Center garden, where I first met Dana Clay, the Urban Farm Assistant responsible for this beautiful garden. I found a curry tree for the first time, and the leaves tasted pungent, like curry.
They even had a cherimoya tree! Yum. The last time I saw a cherimoya tree was in Baja. I love cherimoya, and just picked up 3 at the local farmer's market. Visit CSU's weekly Farm Stand in front of the Expo Center on Menlo just north of MLK on Thursdays from 3-6pm.
Find more about Community Services Unlimited events, and how you can volunteer on their website. A special thanks to my good friend Bryant Terry for introducing me to Neelam and CSU, inc.
It was a Vital Juice Spa weekend full of healthy beauty, yoga, massage, breath work, and good food. Co-founder Amanda Freeman was in town for the spa event, and it was lovely to catch up with her. On Friday, I enjoyed the best ever breath work session with Cindy Click. Perfectly what I needed after a challenging week.
I met lovely folks from my favorite yoga studio, YogaWorks. Terri Seiden, the Director of Marketing, has offered to throw a book release event to help me celebrate Ani's Raw Food Essentials in late June at their Larchmount location.
Here I am with the beautiful Jamie Kiffel-Alcheh. I forgot to bring my yoga clothes, so I missed out on doing yoga on the lawn in the sunshine.
The next day, I got to see Jamie again… this time for a raw meal in Santa Monica at a newish raw food cafe with gorgeous Kimberly Miguel Mullen. Read about our raw food lunch on Vital Juice, Los Angeles.
Good thing I fueled myself up with a Spa Day and then Raw Foods because the next day I drove almost all the way to Palm Springs to meet up with my best girlfriend from college, Dora Jih of Season Tees. Her 8 year old daughter had a synchronized swim competition. It was so fun to watch these cute girls all dolled up in hand made custom outfits doing their mermaid dance. And, they let Kanga join in on the fun too!

For more information about Stonewall Scotland's housing work, click here.
The Medoza case
Mr Mendoza had lived with his partner for thirty years, yet when his partner died his landlord refused to accept him as his partner and took him to court. Stonewall intervened in the case to present the human rights arguments.
The Court held:
Mendoza is the first major gay human rights case and the first case in which the Court of Appeal has used the Human Rights Act to rewrite previous legislation.
Mendoza follows an earlier House of Lords judgment, Fitzpatrick v. Stirling Housing Association, in which the Court ruled that a same-sex partner could be considered to be a member of the tenant's family but did not say that they had the same rights as 'husband and wife'.
The Fitzpatrick case
In October 1999, in the case of Fitzpatrick v Sterling Housing Association Ltd, the Law Lords ruled that same-sex partnerships could be construed as family relationships in housing succession cases.
The facts of this case are as follows. Martin and John lived together as partners in a flat in London for some 20 years. John was the tenant of the flat, which was let under a Rent Act-protected tenancy from a private landlord. John had lived in the flat for a number of years prior to meeting Martin and they had become close friends and partners some time before they started to live together in 1976.
Unfortunately in January 1986 John had a tragic accident that left him paralysed and needing 24 hour-a-day care. Martin provided such a support for the next nine years. Sadly John died in 1994 and almost immediately Martin was told to leave by the landlords.
The law provides that only a 'spouse' or a 'member of the original tenant's family' has a right to succession in a case when a tenant dies. Martin argued that he was a member of John's family.
The Judge in a County Court, although accepting that:
"a cohabiting relationship between members of the same sex of a permanent and stable kind would properly be regarded nowadays … as just as lasting and socially valuable a relationship as that between husband and wife"
was not prepared to regard Martin as John's spouse or a member of John's family.
The House of Lords recognised changes in attitudes between now and 1920 (when succession for what are now called regulated tenancies was first introduced). It decided that Martin had been a member of John's family: "this is the proper interpretation of the Act … that as a matter of law a same-sex partner of a deceased tenant can establish the necessary familial link." The House of Lords also called upon the parliament to "change the law to give protection to the homosexual partner of a deceased tenant."
However, it did not accept that Martin had been living with John as "husband and wife". This later development was brought about through the Mendoza case.

Orlando Science Center's exhibit halls feature a vast array of exciting interactive experiences! Learning has never been so fun with these hands on educational exhibits. From down to earth explorations in natural science to the high-tech world of simulation technology, everywhere you look, you'll find educational and entertaining opportunities to explore, experiment, and discover.
Traveling Exhibits
The Orlando Science Center is home to some of the most exciting traveling exhibits in the country. When these exhibits are in town they are only here for a limited time, so don't miss the opportunity to see them!
Exhibit Halls
As great as our traveling exhibits are, there are some exhibits that are the staple of the Orlando Science Center. NatureWorks will have you up close and personal with some of nature's most fascinating reptiles. At DinoDigs, you'll step back into the prehistoric age. Discover the dynamic forces and systems that shape our Earth, as well as other planets in Our Planet, Our Universe. Explore such concepts as electricity and magnetism, lasers, soundwaves, and nature's forces in Science Park. No visit to the Science Center is complete without a trip to KidsTown, an interactive world dedicated to our smaller explorers.
Science Live! Programs
What's the difference between a great visit to a Science Center and a memorable visit? Live programs. Our exhibits are designed to inspire curiosity and exploration, our Science Live! programs are designed to bring the exhibits to life. Whether it's a show in the Digital Adventure Theater or a one-to-one interaction with a volunteer at the Crosby Observatory, our live programs create the kind of impact that can last a lifetime.
Science Stations
Looking for little more "hard science" in your next Science Center visit? Look no further than the Science Stations located throughout the facility. Science Stations are a cross between exhibits and live programs in that they're exhibits that typically include a live program to truly bring the experience to life. Science Stations provide an in-depth look at their respective subject matter in an entertaining way. Be sure to check your program schedule to see which Science Stations are conducting demonstrations on the day of your next visit.
Crosby Observatory
The aluminum-domed Crosby Observatory atop Orlando Science Center houses Florida's largest publicly accessible refractor telescope. This one-of-a-kind custom-built telescope, along with several smaller scopes, are available at selected times for solar and night sky viewing.

The time has almost come for NASA's Curiosity rover to land on Mars – hopefully. The 254 day journey from Earth to Mars is expected to end on Monday, August 6 at 1:31 a.m. EST should it survive the risky entry, descent and landing (EDL) typical of this sort of mission.
The difficult landing has NASA calling it "Seven Minutes of Terror" during which time, hundreds of technical events have to work together with split-second timing.
When Curiosity enters the Red Planet's atmosphere, it will be traveling at 13,200 mph. Seven minutes later, it should be at rest on Mars' surface. To relate, it's like driving 65 mph down the highway and coming to a complete, controlled stop in 2.1 seconds. Not an easy feat!

This workshop has been cancelled.
How do you want your money to touch the world?
His Eminence Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche often says we can live without religion, but we cannot live without spirituality.

Wind: 0 mph
It's been mud season on The Valley floor for several weeks now, so it's easy to forget that snow takes longer to melt in the mountains.
On Monday, April 15, the Green Mountain Club (GMC) announced the start of mud season on Vermont's higher elevation hiking trails. During this time, the club discourages hikers from taking these routes in order to minimize damage due to erosion and the trampling of vegetation.
"Every step not taken on a wet hiking trail today helps assure a stable tread way tomorrow and reduce future costly tread repairs," GMC executive director Will Wiquist said, as it's important that trails have the time to drain and dry before they experience heavy use this season.
Hiking trails on land managed by the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation and the Green Mountain Club are closed until Memorial Day. Hikers are also strongly discouraged from using hiking trails in the Green Mountain National Forest. Generally, along the route of the Long Trail, the national forest exists south from Mt. Ellen in Warren and the state parks and forests exist north of Appalachian Gap in Buel's Gore.
In the meantime, however, hikers are encouraged to explore trails at lower elevations. General guidelines for hiking during mud season: Walk through the mud, not around it. If it's too deep to walk through, then turn around!

I got the text on Friday, after a week that had been fraught with Insecurity.
Have you made a $40 charge on your MasterCard to iTunes? If Yes, text "1" in reply; if No, text "2."
To backtrack:
On Monday, Microsoft had sent me an email: someone had tried to hack my Hotmail account.
My Hotmail account is an old one, used by folks who never bothered to switch to my newer Gmail address. I still get my Hotmail messages, because I arranged for them to be sent automatically (POP Mail) to my Gmail inbox. But I never check my Hotmail account.
It chilled me that somebody was hacking my email, even this old, passive account. So I checked Hotmail and, sure enough, my history showed that somebody from the Emirates had tried to sign on. Unsuccessfully, thank the gods.
I changed my Hotmail password to render it more Secure.
On Wednesday, I got a cellphone bill in the mail from Verizon. A hefty bill: the cost of my new phone, plus generous call, data and text allowances.
I hadn't bought a phone. And I don't have a Verizon account.
I found the Verizon number on-line. After a half-hour's hold time, during which recordings welcomed me to the Verizon Family and listed the great Verizon services I could get, I reached the Verizon Fraud Lady. I told her about the bogus bill and gave her my supposed new telephone number.
The Verizon Fraud Lady assured me no such number existed. She advised me, for my Security, to contact the FCC.
The FCC website offered several categories for cell phone complaints—email scams, phishing phone calls, electronic bill errors—but nothing that fit a bogus paper bill. Even the FCC thinks the Post Office is obsolete.
I chose "email scams" and tailored my complaint as much as possible to the anachronism of ground-up trees and pigment in solution.
Then, on Friday, came the text about my Citibank MasterCard charge.
I texted "2." It was not my charge. How would I spend $40 on iTunes? I'm a dinosaur: I buy CDs and play them on our radio/CD player (yes, it's electric). The apps I download are usually free—except for the MLB app I use to track the decline of the Red Sox and watch painful videos of Jacoby Ellsbury making amazing outfield saves for the Yankees. Even that app, bought months ago, cost me less than $40.
I called Citibank. The Citibank Fraud Lady told me, "Since you didn't make the charge, it means your card number's been stolen. For your Security, we've suspended it. Cut up your card, and we will send you a new one."
I cut my MasterCard to teensy bits and buried them among coffee grounds and blackened banana peels in the trash.
Then I spent an hour on my computer, deleting the card from Secure sites.
It's amazing how many Secure sites had my MasterCard number on file. Sites like PayPal, Amazon, TravelSmith, LL Bean, even King Arthur flour, where I buy my special bittersweet chocolate chips.
I fell into a Security frenzy. I hadn't changed passwords after the Heartbleed attacks upon every account on earth; at the time, it just seemed so futile. So depressing. But now I had Religion.
I spent three hours changing passwords.
It's amazing how many Secure sites use passwords. There are far, far more of them than Secure sites that file one's credit card information.
At last, I felt Secure.
Then, I realized that I would never remember all those new Secure passwords.
So I spent another hour typing every password I'd changed.
But where could I store those passwords so they would be Secure? Computers can be stolen, drawers rifled, file cabinets dug through by thieves.
I attached the list to an email and sent it to myself. I moved the email to a Gmail file that was named for something completely irrelevant to password Security. I deleted the copy that was left on my computer desktop and emptied the virtual trash.
I felt Secure then.
Until I realized that, if I got hit by a bus, my husband would be totally unable to run our financial life because he didn't have a copy of all these passwords. He couldn't bank or pay bills, check credit card statements, monitor our electricity use, or even buy my special bittersweet chocolate chips.
I had made all our accounts Secure from Paul.
I signed onto Gmail—it took several tries, because I couldn't remember my changed password—and opened all of my files until I found the irrelevant file where I'd stashed it (It wasn't easy, since all my files are completely irrelevant to password Security). I re-downloaded my Secure password list to my computer desktop. I went through the list and arranged everything by name, and included my sign-in ID for each utility and institution that required my changed passwords.
I printed the list, gave it to Paul, and told him to put it somewhere only he would find it, somewhere Secure.
Even I don't know where he put it.
I re-sent the amended list to myself, re-stashed it, re-trashed the copy on my desktop, re-dumped the trash.
And I felt Secure.
Until I realized that one of the passwords was case-sensitive, and I hadn't written it right.
Back to the Gmail, the irrelevant folder, the printer; back to re-sending, re-filing, re-trashing.
I handed Paul his amended list. He gave me a long, serious look. "Is there something you haven't told me about your last doctor appointment?" he asked.
I assured him I was just making us more Secure. He didn't look convinced.
After all this, late Friday night, I received an email from iTunes.
To backtrack:
Two Christmases ago, I bought Paul the latest iteration of the iPad. I sync-ed it to my computer, as I routinely did with his old device. Somehow, in the process, I lost a great many of his old vacation photos. Even the iPad Geniuses couldn't recover them.
He still won't let me hear the end of it.
So last year I bought extra storage on iCloud to make sure Paul's iPad, including his precious pictures, would have Secure back-up that I couldn't screw up.
Late Friday night—after I'd cut up my MasterCard, changed my passwords, securely stashed them, written and re-written instructions for Paul to use if the bus hit me, and spent my entire day in the service of Security—I received the email from iTunes.
It was a notice that my iCloud storage had been automatically renewed by iTunes that very morning, using the credit card I'd approved for this the year before. The one I'd cut up.
The cost for this automatic, approved, Secure renewal was $40.

text: Kitchens are where many of us spend the majority of awake time at home. Between cooking, eating, doing homework at the kitchen table, cleaning up, reading the morning paper with morning coffee, the kitchen is a room we need to feel serene inside. That's why beige is a fine choice for a kitchen color-scheme. See full article.

Jeff Panik Becomes First Full-Time Men's Soccer Coach
- Release Date:
- June 23, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Susan Viscomi, Director of Athletics at Hilbert College, is pleased to announce the hiring of Jeff Panik as the new head men's soccer coach. Panik, a former Professional Arena Soccer League (PASL) and Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) professional player, brings over ten years of coaching experience and is a great fit for the newly created full-time soccer coach and Athletic Facilities Coordinator position.
"With a well-rounded background in coaching and facility management, the search committee felt Jeff was an ideal fit for the new position and a strong addition to our staff", said Viscomi. "His commitment to earning several NSCAA National Diplomas is a true testament to Jeff's passion for coaching soccer. A tireless recruiter, we look forward to growing our program and being a perennial contender in the AMCC."
Panik begins his first year at Hilbert in 2011 after serving as the head men's soccer coach at North Country Community College (Saranac Lake, NY) for one season. His 2010 team posted a 10-6-3 record with a play-off win during his only season at the helm. Panik coached two All-Region Players and three All-Conference Players with one of those young men receiving a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Player of the Week honor during the season. In addition to his coaching duties, the Parma Heights, OH native served as an Adjunct Instructor in the Physical Education Department and NCCC's Athletics Facility Manager/Events Coordinator. This position oversaw all sporting events on campus and managed the indoor and outdoor facilities.
Panik began his coaching career as a staff coach with the Samba Soccer Club while he was still a student at Cuyahoga Community College (Parma, OH) in 2000. For a total of seven summers, he directed boys and girls club teams ranging in ages from U-8 up to U-18. Two of his teams traveled to Sweden and Jamaica for international competition and, in 2006, his U-15 boys' team brought home the Dalecarlia Cup. In 2004, Panik joined the college coaching ranks as an assistant coach at Cuyahoga Community College before he moved to Great Falls, MT to become the men's assistant at the University of Great Falls (2008-2010). At both institutions, Panik assisted in the athletic recruitment as much as he designed and implemented training sessions for his players.
Not one to give up on his playing days, Panik squeezed in time for a professional playing career while coaching at the college level. In 2007 he played in every game for the Cleveland North Coast semi-professional indoor team of the PASL and served as a reserve/practice player for the professional indoor MISL's Cleveland Force team in 2004. He maintained his spot on his German Central FC team in the USSF sanctioned Men's Club league from 2001-2007 after his graduation from Cuyahoga Community College in 2001 and Walsh University in 2003.
Panik carries several awards and certifications with him to Western New York. He was named First Team in the Great Lakes Region (XII) and the Ohio CC Athletic Conference both seasons at Cuyahoga. In 2001, he earned NSCAA All-American status as a NJCAA athlete at Cuyahoga. And during his two seasons at Walsh University, Panik earned American Mideast All-Conference honors at the NAIA school located in Canton, OH. As a coach, Panik earned NSCAA State and Regional Goalkeeping Diplomas, as well as NSCAA National and Advanced National Diplomas.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

The FighterWednesday, October 27th, 2010
Release date: Friday December 10, 2010 (Wide)
Genre: Drama
Director: David O. Russell
Studio: Alliance Films
Producer(s): Todd Lieberman, Dorothy Aufiero, David Hoberman, Paul Tamasy
Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Melissa Leo
Official Site: thefightermovie.com
Rating: Unrated
Available film art: The Fighter movie posters
Mark Wahlberg stars in Paramount Pictures' inspirational docudrama exploring the remarkable rise of Massachusetts-born lightweight title winner "Irish" Micky Ward. A determined pugilist whose career in the ring was shepherded by his loyal half-brother, Dicky (Christian Bale) — a hard-living boxer-turned-trainer whose own career in the ring was nearly sent down for the count due to drugs and crime — perennial underdog Irish Micky rebounded from a disheartening series of defeats to win both the WBU Intercontinental Lightweight title and the WBU Light Welterweight title thanks to a fierce combination of determination and hard work. David O. Russell directs from a script by 8 Mile's Scott Silver and Paul Attanasio (The Bourne Ultimatum).

I had to make a special magwell adapter for CZ-24 subgun magazine because I could not get the 22 Reed Express rounds to work out of a PPS-43 magazine. the short mag in the picture is a mag I use at the range. The picture below is the full length CZ-24 mag with the 22 Reed Express ammo in it.
I should be able to get to the range this coming weekend and try the sabots. I have two different loads -- one uses the short Hornady 35gr 22 caliber bullet and the other uses the Sierra 55gr 22 caliber bullet. I actually hope they both work well. I'm not expecting a target rifle, just something that can be used as a nice plinker.
Edit to add: I was just thinking about your Rommy AK 47 and was wondering if you had any type of muzzle brake or flash hider on it -- even one of those simple angled ones? Any type of muzzle device can have a really bad affect on the sabots. The sabot opens right at the muzzle and if there is anything there it can screw with the accuracy. I decided to use my DI operated Tok carbine and had to remove the flash hider and make a thread protector. I know that some of the Rommy AK's have these simple angled muzzle devices but the fingers on the sabot may be able to touch it as it exits the muzzle.

Head Coach John Shulman
On how his team is improving
"Yeah I mean the first thing I told them in the locker room is very simple. You know you've gotten better when you go to an SEC venue and play an undefeated SEC team and you felt like you gave it away, and that's how I feel. I mean we made enough silly mental mistakes and blunders to win the basketball game. I tried to explain to them that this is a good thing; it's a good thing that we just felt like we gave one away. You know we're down two with eleven to play, and we can't pick up in transition. At times we look like we're getting there, and at times we play like a bunch of inexperienced freshmen like we are. There's no doubt that there are some areas that we did get better in and there's no doubt there are some areas that we're really hurting ourselves."
On the team's shooting performance
"You know I've got the utmost confidence in Farad Cobb shooting that ball, and he got unbelievable looks at the basket, Gee got really good looks inside the three point line that didn't go, we all got good looks inside the three point line. I liked our offensive concept tonight. I thought we had better flow. It's really our second game that we've doing this, so I think we'll get better at it and better at it and better at it, but we've got to have more production from certain guys for us to be successful, and that's not a secret."
On the LSU athletes and their ability to rebound
"We knew it was going to be difficult on the glass, that's what they do, that's who they are. They were a positive ten on the glass and they're very, very athletic, you know they've got SEC athletes. I thought the big fella made a difference in the game. He's 7'3" and he changes shots out there. He's not an SEC athlete, but to be in the band two years ago, and to be playing on this level is pretty good to tell you the truth."
Z. Mason, forward, junior
Thoughts on the game
"I think we played well against a good SEC opponent who is undefeated. It is bitter-sweet for me. I think I played a pretty good game, but it hurts because we had a chance to beat a top team and fell short."
Thoughts on Chattanooga's run in the second half
"It shows that we have fight. That's something we need in a young basketball team. We've had a few slow starts, but if we continue to fight and take away a few small plays against us, we'll be fine."
Thoughts on his inside-out play
"It felt good to finally get my outside shot going, but I wanted to make sure I got some buckets on the inside, too. I really wanted to help get us going after the slow start."
On being aggressive and attacking the basket
"We really did a good job of attacking the basket today. Ronrico White got us going today, and that's really something we needed from him. If we continue to get to the basket and play inside-out, we'll be fine. We just have to take away the small plays because, at one time, it was a 3-point game, but we made a couple of simple mistakes that hurt us. We just have to take away those plays."
Ronrico White, guard, sophomore
Thoughts on the game
"Both teams went on some really good runs tonight. They went on some good runs on us, but Coach Shulman is a fighter, and we won't let us give up. As long as we keep playing, we'll be fine."
Thoughts on Chattanooga's offense
"We're a pretty dangerous team when we have shots falling, but we can't rely just on that. We didn't do a good job of rebounding tonight. They won the rebounding battle and the offensive boards hurt us. They would get an offensive rebound and shut us down when we tried to go on a run. We have to do a better job of boxing out."
Thoughts on controlling the basketball
"We did a pretty good job of taking care of the basketball. We only had this one period of time where we had some trouble with turnovers. For us to come in here and try to beat a good SEC team, we can't let that happen."

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
There was a time when people didn't move around much. If you were born in Birmingham, you'd probably have died in Birmingham. Maybe that explains why I left, eh?
I am indeed a Brummie lass. Generations of my family emerged, sooty or sugary from the Black Country coal fields and the factory halls of the Cadbury brothers' Bournville empire. Birmingham was a grey, nasty, industrial place with more miles of canal that actual Venice ('tis true, look it up!) until recent years of investment transformed her into a sultry beauty. I loved her vastness, her grime and her filth during the days of my youth and I love her now, gleaming, multicultural and new. She is genetically imprinted on my soul.
I recently discovered some marvellous vintage photos of the area where I was born, Northfield. I find it fascinating to look back at a place which you used to know so well and find that it has become, or indeed was historically, unrecognisable to you. Home, sweet sweet home.
Tell us about your home town. Maybe, like me, you've moved away and return to see family often. Perhaps you still live in the very home in which you were born? Do you love or hate the place where you grew up, and why?
Share your memories with us in this week's Link Up – either write a blog post and link it up (the Linky will stay open for some time yet, so no need to rush), or just share your memories with us in the comments if you prefer – you don't have to have a Blog to play! Everyone welcome here. Consider it therapy. But do tell your friends!

It is very important to us that the Wisconsin MBA is the right fit for you and will help you reach your career goals. Before applying make sure to read about our career specializations, our uniquely applied curriculum, and the extensive resources that the Wisconsin MBA provides.
Applicable for 2015-2016 academic year. Business Graduate School cost of attendance is based on a nine-month period.
2015-2016 Academic Year
Wisconsin residency for tuition purposes is determined prior to enrollment and remains constant for the duration of your program. Students who attended a Wisconsin high school and whose parents are residents of the state for the 12 months prior to enrollment may be considered a resident of the state for tuition purposes, even if the student does not currently live in the state. Exemptions also apply for candidates whose spouses transferred to the state for employment purposes and for members of the military currently stationed in Wisconsin on active duty. Questions regarding residency for tuition purposes should be directed to the residency counselors in the Office of the Registrar (phone: 608/262-1355, or email: email@example.com).
Minnesota residents may be eligible for reduced tuition as a participant in the Minnesota-Wisconsin reciprocity agreement. Students certified under this agreement, although classified as non-residents, are assessed the comparable instructional fees in effect at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus, plus the segregated fees assessed all UW-Madison graduate students. Contact the Minnesota Higher Education Services Office for a reciprocity application.
The Wisconsin School of Business requires all master's students to own or have access to their own personal computer. To meet this requirement, U.S. citizens and permanent residents who apply for needs-based student loans through the Office of Student Financial Services will receive an additional $3,000 one-time computer purchase adjustment in their budget via an unsubsidized loan only. Computer hardware and software specifications for interfacing with Wisconsin School of Business and UW-Madison technology are communicated upon admission.
Interested in working to help defray the costs of attendance? The UW Student Job Center lists part-time, limited term employment (LTE), graduate assistant, and summer job openings located at UW-Madison and off-campus in the private and public sectors.
The Office of Student Financial Services (OSFS) assists U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents whose personal and family resources are not adequate to cover the expenses involved in attending the UW-Madison. Eligibility for Federal Work-Study and the Subsidized Stafford Loan is based on financial need as calculated by the OSFS. Students who do not receive the amount they need through either of these programs can apply for the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. There is no deadline for federal financial aid. However, students should apply as early as possible to assure a timely response by OSFS.
Only U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents are eligible. To apply for work-study and/or Federal Stafford Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized), you will need to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the federal processor. For more information on the application process, please refer to OSFS.
The Global Student Loan Corporation (GSLC) provides an education loan for international students who do not require a U.S. co-signer. The Global Student Loan covers the complete cost of attending school, such as tuition, student fees, books, housing, transportation, and computer costs. To learn more about GSLC, please visit www.globalslc.com.
The MBA Loans Program is a private lender through Sallie Mae. The MBA Loans Program provides graduate business students with a comprehensive, affordable source of funds designed to meet all of your education financing needs. To learn more about MBA Loans, please visit the Sallie Mae website.
Subsidized: Graduate students may borrow up to $8,500 per year through the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan to a cumulative maximum of $65,500 for undergraduate and graduate years combined. The interest rate is variable and set annually with a cap of 8.25% for new borrowers. Neither interest nor principal payments begin until the borrower leaves school or is no longer enrolled at least half-time.
Unsubsidized: Graduate students may borrow an additional $12,000 per year through the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. The interest rate is variable and set annually with a cap of 8.25% for new borrowers. Principal payments do not begin until the borrower leaves school or is no longer enrolled at least half-time. However, the student must choose to either begin interest payments immediately or to defer the interest payments, in which case the interest would accrue while the student is in school.
All candidates who apply to the program will be considered for scholarships and fellowships.
The Wisconsin MBA awards several different types of merit-based aid each year. These awards are made based on an individual's combination of standardized test scores, undergraduate performance, and career experience. Additional criteria may be used for evaluation when necessary. Award categories include:
Wisconsin Distinguished Graduate Fellowships (WDGF)
These awards provide an estimated $18,500 stipend paid out over nine-months in addition to full tuition remission and full health insurance for the student. There are no work requirements associated with Fellowship awards.
Consortium for Graduate Study in Management: As one of the founding schools of the Consortium, the Wisconsin MBA is dedicated to the mission to enhance diversity in business education and leadership by helping reduce the serious underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans. Each year students are awarded Consortium Fellowships by the Wisconsin MBA and invited to participate in the Consortium's annual summer Orientation Program.
Project assistants (PAs) and teaching assistants (TAs) are required to work 13 hours per week or more to receive a waiver of tuition, health insurance and a stipend. Stipend values vary based on the number of hours worked and experience level. Most PA and TA appointments are made at the time of admission for either a one-year or two-year commitment. Awards are made on the merits of the candidate and qualifications presented on the Merit-based Financial Assistance Form. Needs may change during the academic year and departments may post assistantships throughout the year.
Project Assistantships
These awards provide an estimated $9500 stipend paid out over nine-months in addition to full tuition remission and full health insurance for the student. Project Assistantships require a 13-hour work commitment per week. Some admitted applicants may be eligible to receive a PA merit package. For additional information, contact the MBA Program Office at email@example.com.
All admitted Arts Administration applicants will receive a PA merit package. For additional information, contact The Bolz Center at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Teaching Assistantships
These awards provide an estimated $9500 stipend paid out over nine-months in addition to full tuition remission and full health insurance for the student. Teaching Assistantships require a 13-20 hour work commitment per week.
These awards can range from $500-$10,000 and are paid in equal installments over the four semesters of enrollment.
No. All assistance offered through the School of Business is based on merit. U.S. citizens and permanent residents whose personal and family resources are not adequate to cover tuition and living expenses are eligible for loans through the U.S. government.
Merit-based financial aid is available to domestic and international applicants in the form of scholarships, fellowships, project assistantships, and teaching assistantships. All candidates who apply to the program will be considered for scholarships and fellowships. Awards are made on the merits of the candidate and their application materials.
Over 70 percent of all students receive some merit-based aid in the form of scholarships, fellowships, or assistantships.
Approximately 50 percent of all international students receive merit-based aid.
Applicants will receive decisions about most scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships with their letter of admission. However, since project assistantships and teaching assistantships are based on the changing needs of the various departments, these appointments may be offered throughout the year.
U.S. citizens or permanent residents who indicate on their Application for Admission that they are interested in applying for loans or work study will automatically receive loan application materials through the university's Office of Student Financial Services. Applicants must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to a federal processor and submit a university Financial Aid Application and a copy of your most recent tax return to the Office of Student Financial Aid. These government loans are not available to international applicants. See the Office of Student Financial Services for more information.
International students are not eligible for U.S. government loans. International students should look at loan options in their home country to help assist with school costs.
No. Neither the School of Business nor the University of Wisconsin-Madison will co-sign a private loan.
Very few incoming MBA students are awarded teaching assistantships. TA positions at the School of Business are typically filled by doctoral candidates or second-year MBA students who have demonstrated competency in the course in question.
No. Residency for tuition purposes is determined upon admission and remains constant throughout your program. To see your specific residency status in Wisconsin, please see link below.
For more information refer back to the tuition tab.
