I'll be back in five minutes or so to launch our live coverage of Slovenia v USA. The gamecast is here.
Stay tuned for some post-match reaction, which is bound to be suitably poisonous as far as Germany are concerned. Next up is Slovenia v USA in Group C.
Apparently the referee handed out 11 red cards in 17 La Liga matches last season. Hmm.
Hot off the Soccernet press here is our match report.
The final whistle sounds and Serbia have claimed a famous win. A big assist must go to Senor Alberto Undiano Mallenco, but even after his ridiculous red card for Klose, Podolski still missed a penalty .
As that foul was awarded, for nothing by the way, Joachim Low slammed his bottle of water into the ground. He's going to give the ref both barrels after this, and well he might.
A melee on the edge of the box ends when the ref gives a foul to Serbia. Subotic flung himself in the way of a Khedira shot before that. Stankovic has cramp now. Not surprised, he's about 40.
This will blow Group D wide open if it stays like this. Australia will be back in with a shout if they beat Ghana. Ghana will be clear favourites to top the group if they collect another three points.
Now Lahm's cross is mishit and Stojkovic can claim. I wonder how his statue is coming on in Belgrade Square? Three minutes added...
Marin has been awful since he came on. He's just kicked the ball out of play, much to the fury of the coach Joachim Low.
What a mess from Serbia. They had four-on-four there but wasted it. No cohesion at all. Come on Germany, let's have an equaliser.
Terrible from Lazovic, as he overhits a simple ball for Kolarov who had run 45 yards up in support.
Just as I type that Zigic has a golden chance to play in Kacar but Mertesacker makes a vital block.
Germany still pouring forward. Serbia can pick them off on the counter if they play it right.
Podolski has another pop at goal but drags this one wide. It was from an angle but he has been wasteful today. Six efforts off target from him.
Vladimir Stojkovic makes a save from Podolski's penalty.
Now the referee misses a blatant booking as Kacar piles in late on Cacau. The free-kick is nodded behind by Vdiic.
Good chance for Kacar as Zigic knocks down a cross into the box. He went for a side-footed volley but it was always rising.
ESPN Stats & Info: Five of the last seven goals Serbia have conceded at the World Cup have come in the last 15 minutes of games.
Jovanovic, the goalscorer, departs and Lazovic on.
Corner for Germany as Stojkovic fumbles a regulation shot. The corner is too long and no-one gets near it.
Gomez is on for Badstuber. An attacker for a defender.
Krasic wins a free-kick and spins it into the box but Petrovic's header is high and wide.
Kuzmanovic goes off and Petrovic comes on as Serbia make their second change.
Rubbish from Kolarov after Jovanovic fed him in the box. He slices wide, horribly.
Zigic has hit the bar! Krasic delivers a great cross and the big man towers high but powers his nod against the bar. Should have scored.
That is eight players booked and one red card now, and I can't recall a bad tackle.
Schweinsteiger is the latest to be booked after banging into Kolarov.
National hero Vladimir Stojkovic punches the ball.
ESPN Stats & Info: Germany's last non-shootout penalty miss in the World Cup was by Uli Hoeness in 1974 versus Poland.
Changes galore. Ninkovic is off and Kacar is on for Serbia. For Germany, Cacau and Marin are on for Ozil and Muller.
Podolski fires in another effort but this one is wayward.
Stojkovic gets a huge ovation as he scrambles to prevent a Germany corner. His penalty save was smart but hardly taxing. There will be a monument of him up in Belgrade before the full-time whistle I'll wager.
Germany about to make a double substitution it looks like. Cacau is stripped and ready.
Serbia have hiot the post! A rare break upfield sees Krasic get into the area, feed Jovanovic, and his curling effort cannons back off the post. Great effort.
Jovanovic breaks upfield but his cross is snaffled by Neuer.
Podolski gets away from Ivanovic again but lacks numbers in the box.
Serbia need to start pushing up the field and make their extra man count. They're playing as if it is they who are down to ten men.
Can Germany recover from another setback and get back into the game? They deserve something from their second half performance.
Well that will knock extra stuffing out of Germany. Vidic dived full length and brushed Khedira's cross with his hand, in a complete rush of blood, but Podolski can't convert. Vidic was booked for his trouble too.
SAVED! Stojkovic gets Vidic out of jail by saving Podolski's weak penalty and Serbia survive!
Nemanja Vidic has handled a cross needlessly and Podolski stands over the penalty.
Another chance for Podolski as he is found by a cute touch from Ozil but he blasts into the side-netting.
A great chance for Podolski to equalise. He gets into the left channel and collects Khedira's ball before stroking the ball just wide of the post.
Another yellow, this time for Subotic as he lunges in on Ozil. The ref probably got that one right, actually.
Now Lahm is tripped on the edge of the box but the referee denies him a free-kick. Tension rising.
ESPN Stats & Info: Jovanovic's goal for Serbia was the fifth time during the tournament that the first shot on target of the game for either team has been a goal: England (Gerrard v. USA), South Korea (Lee Jung-Soo v. Greece), South Africa (Tshabalala v. Mexico) and Paraguay (Alcaraz v. Italy) were the previous four.
Joachim Low goes nuts as Lahm pinches the ball off Ninkovic but is penalised. Its fair to say this ref is not welcome in Germany any time soon.
Ooh, that must have hurt. Schweinsteiger forces Stojkovic into a save before Khedira volleys Kolarov in the head. He's up already though. Hard as nails.
Lahm's slide rule pass finds Schweinsteiger but Vidic's tackle is a good one. There's plenty of life in this German side yet.
Milan Jovanovic celebrates his goal.
Kuzmanovic picks out the right pass but overhits it as Krasic scampered down the right flank.
Stankovic knocks a quality ball through for Ninkovic but Lahm was wide awake and knocked it back to Neuer.
So, how should Serbia play this? Push forward and look for a second to kill off the Germans or sit back and hit them on the break?
Ozil has taken the lone striker's role for Germany, with Podolski and Muller in support.
First opening of the half to Germany as Podolski smashes a shot across the face of goal from a tight angle.
We begin again...
Milan Jovanovic scores for Serbia.
And after that, England take on Algeria in Cape Town. Here's our preview for that one.
Next up, at 2pm, is the clash between the USA and Slovenia. Have a read of our preview here.
Well, an entertaining half that was overshadowed by a truly shocking red card for Miroslav Klose. Two innocuouos fouls and he gets his marching orders. The first was an inadvertent clip, the second when he tried to poke the ball away from Stankovic.
Khedira has hit the bar! The corner fell to him and he's whacked it off the crossbar, then Muller's overhead kick is cleared off the line. The ref has blown for a foul for the overhead kick. Sums up his half, which comes to a close now.
Muller does really well to win a corner after some trickery in the box. One minute added...
Pathetic from Stojkovic, as Schweinsteiger gives him a little bump. The 'keeper goes down looking to get his opponent booked but thankfully the referee keeps his cards in his pocket for once.
ESPN Stats & Info: Germany's last red card at the World Cup was in 2002 against Cameroon in the group stage when Carsten Ramelow was sent off.
Great work from Podolski. Seconds after driving in a shot on the edge of the box he is back in his own half pinching the ball off Krasic.
Muller wins a corner for shellshocked Germany.
Germany are ragged here. That red card has rocked them. Zigic did well to meet Krasic's cross and Jovanovic was cool under pressure.
How things can turn. Germany were looking in no trouble at all, then their star striker is sent off for nothing and within two minutes they go behind.
Serbia score! Zigic knocks down a cross and Jovanovic volleys home from five yards. Then he jumps into the crowd to celebrate. Joy unconfined
Referee Alberto Undiano Mallenco from Spain, is a joke. That was absolutely pathetic. He's ruined the game with those ridiculous bookings.
Klose has been sent off, for the two most innocuous fouls you will ever see. Pathetic refereeing. Just awful, awful, awful.
Danger in Serbia's box as Klose nods down Muller's cross but Subotic hacks away. Pressure still on....
Great defending from Vidic who gets a foot in as Klose tried to turn in the area.
Kolarov beat the wall with his effort but it was two yards wide of the near post. Not a bad effort.
Lahm gets a deserved booking after hacking down Krasic. Zigic won the header and Krasic was first to the loose ball. Free-kick, 25 yards out.
A poor five minutes for Muller continues with his toe-poked pass to Klose which is about 20 yards too strong. The boy's got kryptonite in his boots by the looks of it.
Then Klose turns the ball into the net but he was offside from Khedira's knock. Just about right too.
Nearly a nice ball from Schweinsteiger but Vidic cuts it out.
Deja vu. Muller's Mullered another cross right out of play on the opposite side. Not even three Zigic's on top of each other could have reached that one.
Great crossing opportunity for Muller but he's absolutely Mullered it over everyone's head. Muller by name, Muller by nature.
Germany's Miroslav Klose in action.
A long ball from Kolarov is too strong for Krasic and he can't keep it in play.
A cracking run from Ninkovic is ruined when Zigic can't return the ball. Poor.
ESPN Stats & Info: Germany have conceded seven goals in their last three World Cup matches against teams from the Balkans (1-2 vs Bulgaria in 1994, 2-2 vs Yugoslavia and 0-3 vs Croatia in 1998).
Bastian Schweinsteiger battles for the ball.
Now Khedira is carded for a tug on Krasic. This game is going to end with seven players against seven at this rate. Poor refereeing.
Subotic heads away at the near post as Ozil delivers.
A good spell for Serbia but Germany win a corner now as Ivanovic nods behind.
The referee is going card crazy here. Now Kolarov is booked for sliding in on Muller.
. Nice turn from Kuzmanovic who weaves his way to the edge of the area but he can't find Jovanovic. Then Ivanovic brings down Podolski and is carded. Very soft
Klose is a yard offside as Muller looked for him over the top. Very nearly.
Jovanovic clips one deep but Vidic can't get a head on it. Bit of a waste in truth.
Good link-up between Ivanovic and Krasic and the latter draws a foul from Badstuber. Free-kick wide on the right. Aim for Zigic is my advice. He's massive.
ESPN Stats & Info: Serbia have lost all four of their matches at the World Cup to date.
Klose is invloved positively now as he looks to link with Ozil. The referee awards a goal kick and is proved right by the replay.
Klose has been booked for a clip on Ivanovic. That is half for that challenge and half for the one about five minutes ago. Clumsy.
First half chance for Serbia as Krasic gets one-on-one with Badstuber. He crosses to the back stick where Ninkovic blazes over on the volley. Better.
Vidic does well as Podolski charges forward. The white shirts are getting plenty of time to pick out a pass.
Germany are enjoying plenty of unchecked possession in the middle of the park. You fear for Serbia unless they get tighter and close down quicker.
Klose is clumsy and late on Ivanovic and concedes a free-kick.
A rasping volley from Podolski flashes just wide of the post after a really good German break. He caught it flush but it was always spinning away from goal.
Lahm looks for Ozil but the Germany captain overhits the ball. Both teams are set up to attack here which is promising.
Good challenge from Subotic as Muller tries to cross from the right flank.
Ozil the architect again with a great chipped ball into the box but Khedira's volley is off target.
Such a good stat we produced it twice.
ESPN Stats & Info: Following his goal against Australia, Germany's Miroslav Klose (11 goals) is now only four behind Ronaldo's all-time record of 15 World Cup goals.
An early ball into Germany's box but Zigic's header is weak and Neuer claims. Then Kuzmanovic tries a shot from range but it dribbles wide.
We're off...
The teams are out into beautiful sunshine in Port Elizabeth, Its about 19 degrees and we're currently enjoying the Serbian national anthem.
As for Germany, Miroslav Klose is now just four goals behind the World Cup's all-time leading scorer, Ronaldo. He should have a good few more opportunities in this game I'll wager.
I'm looking forward to seeing Krasic and Kuzmanovic for Serbia. In my most recent Football Manager game, Kuzmanovic is the boss in my Champions League winning Newcastle side. Hey, we can all dream can't we?
Serbia suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of Ghana in their opening game, and really need a win here. They make three changes: Lukovic, Pantelic and Milijas go out, Subotic in, Kuzmanovic and Ninkovic come in.
Unsurprisingly, Joachim Low sends out the same eleven players that made Australia look like a bunch of staggering drunks in their opening game. The main man in that game was Mesut Ozil, and he'll be the focal point again today.
Good afternoon all and welcome along to live coverage of Germany's game with Serbia from Group D. Can the Germans continue their excellent form from the first game, when they thumped Australia 4-0?
Join us at 1130 GMT as Germany look to continue their good start against Serbia.

International buyers are continuing to make a beeline for the American housing market. Attracted by cheaper home prices, relative economic stability and an affinity to all things American, these buyers are lapping up homes. Their interest continues to rise along with rising home values and an improving market, says USA Today. That's probably a bright silver lining for the still-sluggish housing market. . . .

HACIENDA HEIGHTS - A 73-year-old man was stabbed in the hand while struggling with a robber Monday night, deputies said.
Sgt. John Suh of the sheriff's Industry station said nothing was taken during the 7:15 p.m. robbery in the 1100 block of Gale Avenue.
The victim was getting out of his vehicle when a man walked up behind him, put a knife to his throat and demanded money, Suh said.
The two struggled. The 73-year-old ended up getting stabbed in the right hand.
The robber fled. He was described as a Latino in his early 20s wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and dark-colored jeans.
Suh said the victim was treated for his injury.

Supporting UCLA Law via the school's the Dean's Discretionary Fund, the unrestricted fund which supports all facets of our school's misison, has never been more necessary. Unrestricted donations are the lifeblood of our school. During fiscal year 2011-2012, these unrestricted gifts to the school totaled just over $1.8 million. The surge in support has increased our alumni participation-in-giving to an incredible 30%!Coming at a time of painful budget news from both the state and university, and in-state tuition now exceeding $47,000 per year, the unprecedented responsiveness and generosity of the school's friends and alumni is absolutely critical and greatly appreciated.The philanthropic culture of the School of Law is evolving in response to the budgetary reality of continually shrinking state monetary support. Unrestricted annual gifts provide the dean with the flexibility to respond to the school's most critical needs as they arise. For example, faculty retention and recruitment decisions are extremely time-sensitive and competitive. Unforeseen expenditures also arise in providing for student scholarships, maintaining the quality of library and technology acquisitions and support, and building student outreach services.
If you would like to make a gift in support of the law school, to our unrestricted Dean's Discretionary Fund or another area that you care about, you can do so online at our Make a Gift page, or please contact Michelle deBaroncelli at (310) 206-1170 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

It is the goal of the French Department at Colby to introduce students to the literatures and cultures of France and the francophone world. We firmly believe that language is the key that opens many doors, and we pride ourselves in helping students reach exceptionally high levels of fluency. All of our classes, from the first day of the first semester course on through the upper levels, are taught exclusively in French.
In our curriculum that is increasingly integrative and interdisciplinary, we try to strike a balance between courses dealing with France proper and others dealing with the francophone world. In all instances, we look to probe various forms of cultural production that deepen our understanding of the human experience and that awaken our students to values that are not their own. We hope to provide a personally enriching and broadening experience, in large part because we feel that there is nothing more fundamental on which to build a career, and no better way to improve the quality of one's life.
Among small liberal arts college faculties, Colby's French staff, with six full-time members, is one of the largest. The number of majors, which fluctuates from year to year, is generally high, with as many as 20 in a graduating class. The last 15 years have seen more and more of our students double-majoring. The greater number are attracted by international studies, but we have seen the French major combined with virtually every discipline on campus: a second foreign language, art history, anthropology, sociology, English, or biology. After graduation, our majors have gone into a broad range of fields, including international business, law, publishing, banking, and teaching. Others have (rather regularly) won competitive awards, such as the prestigious Fulbright fellowship to support teaching in a lycée in France, or the Watson award, which sends its recipients to far-flung parts of the globe to undertake research on an original project. Still others have joined the Peace Corps and served in Morocco, Guinea, and Cameroon, and a number have chosen to pursue French studies further, in some of the best graduate schools in the nation.
All students of language and culture at Colby have at their disposal the resources of a high-tech dernier cri Language Resource Center. Technology is now a commonplace in our classrooms, as faculty members continue to devise innovative ways of teaching language, literature, and culture. Television broadcasts from France and Canada and materials available on the Web are routinely included in class work.
Knowing too that language does not exist in a vacuum—une maison may be a house in the dictionary, but in different cultures une maison and a house don't look the same, or function the same, or represent the same values—we place special emphasis on the experience abroad. Our majors are required to spend a semester in a French-speaking country, and are strongly encouraged to spend a full year there. Our nonmajors have the opportunity to enroll in Colby's own semester-long language acquisition program in Dijon (France), or to take part in one of the Jan Plans to the French-speaking world that we offer as often as we can. Over the last few years, Jan Plan groups have gone to Guadeloupe, to Morocco, to Dakar, and to Dijon. There are as well various language-related activities on the campus that are organized by both the department—plays in French, weekly language tables with the assistant(e) from the Ecole Normale Supérieure, and by the French Club—soirées aux crêpes, couscous dinners, the fall trip to Montréal or Québec, and so on.
We hope to get a chance to show you what we mean. A bientôt!

Italian Department +
The study of Italian language and culture offers a unique opportunity to delve into a civilization that is at once very old and very young. The territory that is Italy was at the center of Mediterranean civil development long before the Roman Empire, and while Italy is a pervasive presence that dates back to the origins of western civilization, the nation state that we know as Italy was officially born not that long ago, in 1861.
Here at Colby we believe strongly that the acquisition of a foreign language is a fundamental component of education and of the college experience in general, as is the close examination of a culture other than one's own. In order to provide our students with the best and greatest possible exposure to the language, we offer numerous courses taught exclusively in Italian, from elementary Italian all the way through our upper-level literature seminars. Recently, our Italian studies program added English-language courses to the curriculum that examine the rich tradition of Italian cinema, from Neorealism to Comedy Italian Style.
We encourage our students to spend a semester in Italy. In the last few years, students have studied in Bologna, Padova, and Parma, often directly enrolling in courses offered at Italian universities and studying alongside their Italian peers. We are currently in the process of approving other programs abroad that would allow students to experience Italian life in an even wider variety of Italian cities. Since January 2006 we have offered a Jan Plan program in the city of Verona, once an important ancient Roman colony and the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
The students who have returned from Italy have invariably had exciting and enriching experiences, whether they were taking courses in art history, language, literature, politics, or civilization. Their interest in Italian studies was so keen that, on their return, many of them requested that advanced courses be offered. To a great extent, we have been able to satisfy these demands, creating a minor in Italian that was officially adopted by the College in the fall of 2002. This too was in great part student initiated, and today we are proud to count some 30 students among our minors.
But of course one need not go abroad to experience Italian culture. Here on the campus we offer a broad range of language-related activities such as Italian movies, the weekly Italian table where students get to practice Italian with our assistente in an informal setting, and excursions to cities near and far to attend opera and theater productions.
Note too that the study of Italian can open doors to a variety of professional opportunities. All over the United States, students with degrees in Italian pursue careers in music, art history, museum work, business, and diplomacy as well as many other fields.
We hope we will have a chance to meet you in one of our Italian classes, and to share with you the wonderful experience of communicating, traveling, building a career, and even learning about yourself and the world around you, in the beautiful language called Italian.

The department offers 21 hours of upper-division undergraduate accounting courses online. Courses in these programs may be used to satisfy requirements for the undergraduate degree in accounting and/or to accumulate the academic credit to sit for the Uniform CPA examination. See our list of Frequently Asked Questions for answers to many of the questions you may have.
The Department's online courses are of high quality. The College of Business is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the nation's highest level of accreditation. The Accounting Department has separate accreditation from the AACSB. No accounting program in the State of Tennessee has a higher level of accreditation.
Demand for accountants is strong, as is evidenced by the fact that National Association of Colleges and Employers surveys has rated accounting as one of the most in-demand degree nationwide for the past four years. If you aspire to become a professional accountant, you should declare accounting as a 2nd degree when you apply to TTU for admission. The accounting department provides all the accounting courses required online. TTU requires that a student desiring to earn a 2nd undergraduate degree from TTU must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours in residence, including all the academic requirements for the underlying degree and the major (see the TTU Catalog). Non-accounting courses that may be required for a 2nd undergraduate degree from TTU may not be available online. Such courses may be taken on campus at TTU or may be available via the State of Tennessee's Regents Online Campus Collaborative. Such courses may count towards the residency requirement if they are taken through TTU.
To sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant's (CPA) Examination in Tennessee, you must complete 30-hours of accounting courses (24 of these must be at the junior, senior, or graduate level), and 24-hours of coursework in other business areas. In addition, you must be within 200 days of having a total of 150 semester hours of college credit. Interested individuals should consult the TTU Schedule of classes at http://math.tntech.edu/ttusched.cgi to confirm which classes will be available each term. In the schedule of classes, courses marked as section no. 500 or M10 are online courses. A full description of each of these courses is available via the TTU online catalog.
Individuals with a Business Degree will generally already have two accounting principles courses (or six hours of accounting credit). Coupled with eight of the online courses offered by the department, the Tennessee State Board requirement of 30 hours of accounting (to sit for the CPA exam) can be satisfied.
Note that in addition to our core undergraduate accounting courses, the Accounting Department also offers four online accounting courses in TTU's online MBA Accounting Concentration. An MBA with an Accounting Concentration is an excellent way to earn the hours required to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam while earning an advanced degree at the same time.

We started out slow, looking around, and met all sorts of deer, goats, and Bambi-type animals. There were two ostriches that followed us for a while. We saw boars and ducks of all sorts. They have lions and tigers caged, so you cannot feed them, but they are close enough. We saw one rhino sleeping, also caged, and apparently the camels were in for the day. We threw them some food, though. What became more amazing than anything were the oxen, giraffe and zebras that come right up to the van and have no problem sticking their heads right into the window. The first time that I turned around to find myself face-to-face with a giraffe was stunning. They warn you that they are animals, of course, and tell you that caution and care should be used, but we experienced docile creatures. I was able to pet the snout of the giraffe, oxen, horses, deer, etc. It was an awesome feeling.
Our tour lasted about an hour. Keep in mind that when planning your trip, they are open rain or shine. If you don't like the day's weather, don't go that day, as there are no refunds. They sell the last ticket 1 hour before closing, and if you don't make it all the way through, you can get your ticket stamped to come back the next day. Either take paper towels with you or buy a, "I got slobbered on," towel at the desk for $2.95. These animals love to be fed; slobber happens. See www.animalsafari.com.

Current stars celebrate Jordan at 50
|In this image released by Jordan Brand, Michael Jordan holds a shoe from a pair of new Air Jordan sneakers, Air Jordan 2009. The design of the shoe, which is made of polishable white leather with white satin pleating and stitching done in rows of two and three to represent Michael Jordan's iconic No. 23, also borrows technology and some of its aesthetics, including metal mesh, from fencing. (AP Photo/Jordan Brand) **NO SALES**
HOUSTON — Michael Jordan turned 50 on Sunday, giving this year's All-Stars a chance to reflect on his illustrious career and how much he still means to the sport.
In a weekend filled with the NBA's greatest players, Jordan was the topic no one could stop talking about. Though he hasn't played since the 2002-03 season, Jordan's influence still permeates the league and its players.

Financial Aid Programs
The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse offers a wide array of merit-based, need-based and non-need based financial assistant for graduate students.
Eligibility Requirements
Need-Based Aid
Many financial aid programs are based on financial need as demonstrated by the application of a federal need-analysis formula to the student financial information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Need-based programs include Federal Direct Subsidized Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Work-Study, Advanced Opportunity Program, Non-Resident Tuition Waivers and Native American Indian Grants.
Non-Need-Based Aid
Exceptions to the financial need requirement include Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans, and alternative private bank loans for higher education. For more information, go to www.uwlax.edu/finaid
Merit-Based Aid
Graduate assistantships are merit-based and do not require the demonstration of financial need. Graduate scholarships are also merit-based and in most cases do not require financial need. International student scholarships are merit-based and subject to a special need analysis administered by the Office of International Education.
Academic Requirements
Admission to the university is a prerequisite to consideration for financial aid. Special non-degree students are not eligible for aid unless they are working for a qualifying, approved license or certificate. Students must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress in order to receive aid. Full-time status is required for many programs; less-than-half-time status will disqualify the student from all programs. For graduate students, nine credits is considered full-time and five credits is considered half-time for the fall, spring and summer sessions.
Other Federal and State Requirements
These include proper citizenship status, registration with the Selective Service System, and not being in default on any federal student loan. See "Withdrawal from University" for additional requirements. Awards are subject to change at any time pursuant to changes in state or federal funding levels or regulatory mandates.
Application Procedures
Financial aid applicants must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the Federal Central Processing System. File the FAFSA by March 15 for priority consideration. Nevertheless, applications are accepted throughout the academic year. The FAFSA is available at www.fafsa.gov.
Notification Dates
Students who complete their application by the March 15 priority date can expect to receive a financial aid offer between April 15 and June 30. Students who complete this application after March 15 will receive a financial aid offer as soon as possible after June 30. Applications received after July 1 may not be processed in time for students to receive their aid by the start of the fall semester. These students should be prepared to pay their initial expenses from their own resources.
Financial Aid Programs
Information concerning the various types of financial aid is available at www.uwlax.edu/finaid/typesofaid.html

Scholarships, Awards, and Short Term Loans
Many scholarships and awards have been established by alumni, faculty and staff, parents, students, businesses, and organizations. Recipients are selected by scholarship committees on the basis of an application, grade point average and other materials as deemed appropriate by departmental committees. Scholarships are presented to students whose qualifications best fit the stipulations of the donor. Approximately one-half million dollars is awarded each year. Amounts vary annually based on funding from gifts or investment earnings available from a fund.
Almost all scholarships are contingent upon full-time enrollment both fall and spring semesters at UW-L. Scholarships and awards are usually paid for the academic year in two payments, the first half in the fall semester and the other half in the spring semester.
Scholarship criteria and application are available here.
A scholarship application is also available to currently enrolled students at the UW-L Foundation Office, Cleary Alumni and Friends Center. This application covers all scholarships unless otherwise stated. Some require specific applications. All applications (unless otherwise indicated) must be submitted to the UW-L Foundation Office. Applications are submitted to various offices that offer scholarships based on academic majors; please refer to the scholarship website. The deadline for scholarship applications is March 1 each year, unless otherwise indicated. Scholarships and awards are announced at the scholarship reception set for the last Monday in April. For more information, call the Advancement Office at (608) 785-8489.
The Foundation also administers a number of individual funds, which provide for interest-free, short-term emergency loans to students in need, provided they are enrolled for a full credit load of non-repeat courses. The Financial Aid Office, 215 Graff Main Hall, has more information and application forms.
Benefits for Veterans and Veterans' Dependents
The university is fully approved for the education of veterans and veterans' dependents under both federal and state programs. New students who may qualify for benefits should report to the veterans' benefits coordinator in the Records and Registration Office, 117 Graff Main Hall, after class registration. After this initial contact, registered students must keep the coordinator apprised of their status and needs.
If you receive support from veteran programs, you are required to report to the veteran's benefits coordinator after registering for classes each semester to complete an enrollment certification form. The university must certify your attendance and credit load to the Veterans Administration. Payments of veterans' benefits depend on the number of credits carried. Graduate students should carry at least nine credits to receive full benefits under most programs. Payment will be awarded according to the schedule below:
|Graduate Credits
|Enrollment/Benefits Status
|3/4 time
|1/2 time

Scours in Calves: Causes, Signs & Treatments
Scours in calves is a serious and complex disease. It is caused by a variety of infectious agents and other conditions. Any disease that attacks the calf in the three weeks of birth will lead to some level of scours (Diarrhea). This happens because the gut of the calf is still developing so it is weak. Absorption of fluids in the intestines is altered which leads to life threatening imbalances. When the calf gets scours it losses fluids and rapidly dehydrates. Treating scours early rapidly increases your calf's ability to recover.
Causes of Scours?
-Scours is caused by two main categories:
-Noninfectious causes are usually caused by gaps or mistakes in management practices.
-Inadequate nutrition of pregnant dam
-Usually in the last third of gestation.
-Nutrition of dam determines the quality of colostrum the calf will get.
-Exposure to environment
-If the calf is born into a dirty environment it can lead to diseases causing scours.
-This causes stress in the new born calves.
-Insufficient attention to the newborn calves
-During difficult births it puts extra stress on the calf right away
-Not making sure the calf gets adequate amounts of quality colostrum.
-Combination of all these
-Infectious causes have 4 main categories:
-Escherichia coli.
-Most important cause of bacterial scours in calves
-Most calves are exposed to E.coli in the environment when they are born
-Manure can carry the E. coli and give to calves as young as 16-24 hours of age.
-Salmonella spp.
-Produces a potent toxin or endotoxin
-Antibiotic treatment damages the salmonella and causes it to release the endotoxin
-The endotoxin will poison the animal and will result in shock and illness
-Need treatment to counteract the endotoxic shock
-Calves affected at 6 days of age or older
-More common in young and already sick calves
-Clostridum perfringens
-Commonly known as enterotoxemia
-Enterotoxemia is fatal that is caused by toxins that are being released
-Sudden onset and calves become listless and strain or kick at their abdomen
-Sometimes they have bloody diarrhea
-Associated with changing weather, changes in feed or feeding, or management practices
-Calves may die without any symptoms ever showing
-Other bacteria
-Coronavirus and Rotavirus
-Disrupt the cells that line the small intestine causing diarrhea and dehydration
-Coronavirus also damages the intestinal crypts. Intestinal crypts produce new intestinal cells. Damage to the crypts
slows the healing process of the lining.
-Damage caused also leads to secondary bacterial infections
-Calves 1-2 days old can be affected but usually happens when they are a week and up.
-If not treated right away can lead to death
-BVD virus
-Can cause diarrhea and death in young calves
-Diarrhea occurs around 24 hours to three days after exposure
-Can last for days or weeks if the animal survives that long
-Erosions and ulcers on the tongue, lips and in the mouth are commonly found
-IBR virus
-Causes digestive disorders in young calves
-Causes erosions and ulcers in the esohagus, dullness, loss of weight, scours, and death.
-Attaches to the lining of the small intestine and damage the mirovilli.
-Control by good hygiene and sanitation
-Very serious disease in weaned calves but not usually a problem in young calves.
-Outbreaks in calves 3-4 weeks and up have been reported.
-Associated with stress, poor sanitation, overcrowding, or sudden changes in feed.
-Some calves show symptoms of brain damage
-Bloody scours are common
-Yeasts and Molds
-Cause lesions in the stomach and intestines of calves with scours.
-Said that they don't cause the scours but that they are a secondary invaders.
-Seen when calves with scours have been on a overuse of antibiotics.
Prevention of Scours?
-Management practices
-Environment and sanitation
-Attention to newborns
-Vaccinations programs
Treatment for Scours in calves?
-All treatments are very similar for all types of scours
-Treatments should be aimed toward correction of dehydration, acidosis, and electrolyte loss.
-Antibiotic treatments can be used along with treatment for dehydration
-IV fluids can be given for dehydration
-Oral fluids of electrolytes can be used for dehydration also
Scours in calves can be very deadly if not treated right away. When calves come down with scours they dehydrate very rapidly. Giving oral electrolytes and giving IV fluids is a great way to rehydrate them. Try giving some of these electrolyte supplements to your calves the next time your calves have scours.

Sage Grouse
Sage Grouse Management Plan 2014-2018
Comment on this plan - Email your comment to: email@example.com before April 15, 2014.
Season Dates:
No season
Open Area:
Limit: 1 per season
The Greater Sage grouse are found in limited numbers on native prairie in northwestern South Dakota. They are a large, rounded-winged, ground-dwelling bird, up to 30 inches long and two feet tall, weighing from two to seven pounds. They have a long, pointed tail with legs feathered to the base of the toes. Females are a mottled brown, black, and white. Males are larger and have a large white ruff around their neck and bright yellow air sacks on their breasts, which they inflate during their mating display.
The sage grouse is very dependent on sagebrush for food and shelter. Loss of that habitat has lead to a decline in their numbers. Ironically, over the past several years South Dakota hunters have provided valuable information to GFP biologists during their limited hunt.
The sage grouse hunting season in South Dakota is very restrictive. In the past:
- a two-day season in late September (Wednesday and Thursday)
- one bird season limit per hunter
- open only on public lands (U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, State School and Public Lands, and private land leased by SD GF&P for public hunting as Walk-In Area) in all of Harding and those located west of US Highway 85 in Butte County
Because of the low number of sage grouse present in South Dakota, there is a sector of the public which believes an annual hunting season adds unnecessary mortality to an already distressed bird population. On the other hand, the restrictive 2-day season is looked upon as a trophy hunt to a small but avid group of grouse hunters. However, setting aside the social issues involved with a season, research suggests that a harvest of less then 10% of the annual fall population will not have a negative impact on the population, and most importantly the following spring breeding population.
Although a fall population can only be estimated, sage grouse harvest in South Dakota is well below that 10% mark as an average of 18 birds per year are harvested, which is less than 5% of the total males counted on spring leks. Using an estimate of 1,500 birds comprising the spring population of 2007, less than 1% of that population was harvested.
If future spring lek counts determine significant decreases in bird numbers, the hunting season will need to be evaluated and determined if a restrictive season can continue.

Our Apologies – To The Dub,
Our apologies to you and your girlfriend. We would like to buy you and your girlfriend your drinks if you would come back and give Legends another chance . We apologize if anyone was rude in any way and we hope you will give Legends Lounge another chance. If I we are not at the bar on a night you would like to visit please just call in advance and ask for one of us and we will let the bartenders know you will be taken care of. Your right we have been blessed with a good staff and most are trained in house and move on to work in bigger clubs, but again our apologies and please accept our peace offering.
Raul & Marisa
could be a cool spot but......... – i have lived close by for years and have gave this place many chances but the owner puts off this bad vibe which no matter how many people you bring with you he looks at them like he doesnt trust anyone, i brought my girlfriend in there one night and she is very good looking and friendly and he was just rude telling her that they couldnt make her a cranberry and grey goose because he is out of cranberry and grey goose which is fine but was an a**hole about it but if you dont beleive me he puts off a bad vibe then go in there and i bet right away you will know who the owner is (the one who doesnt smile or have anything nice to say). Its too bad because its always nice to have a cool little dive bar off of the main state st. Every other bartender he hires turns out to be cool but never seem to last too long hmmmm?I will never step foot in there as long as the owner Raul controls it, to his wife's credit, at least she makes a good attempt at making you feel welcome.
Amazingly intimate and fun – Stopped by Legends the other night with a few friends, it was a lot more than I expected, very relaxing, low key element. GOOD VIBE. and GREAT DRINKS
The Bartenders were friendly and the owner was nice.! i dont know why he would be "mean" he was talking to people and greeting them as they came in, everyone seemed happy.
I know ill be back, comfy seats!!! great place to grab a table and have conversation with anyone!
User review by availjames – After hearing so many negative comments about the place I finally stopped to see if they could all be true. The owners are rude and act as if it's a crime to speak to the customers. This little spot tries too hard to be a L.A. club. A vintage Pac Man machine may be cool, but friendly service is more important to me.
2nd time. . . Well I read these other reviews and thought that maybe the majority of the people complaining about the Rude owner, lack of staple beers like corona, were just exaggerating. unfortunately i encountered the same. It's a shame to see so many of the locals and neighborhood people shooed away from their longtime spot. I warn people not to wear hats or speak in spanish. . . as this seems to make the owner (the husband) a bit nervous.
best bar in town! – Legends is by far the best spot in town. It's super loungy and comfortable, the bartenders are fun and friendly (and pour great drinks!), and the crowd is always great. It's a great place to grab a cocktail during happy hour after work, or to listen to some live jazz or DJs at night. I wandered in with some friends a few nights ago and will definitely be frequenting this spot.
User review by sally512 – After being skeptical in entering this little bar I was quite pleased that my friends talked me into going on a recent Friday night. This bar was jammed packed with people listening to the great dj's. The drinks were good and the bartenders were quite friendly. This bar is something that you wouldn't imagine looking like from the outside, but once inside you are transfixed with velvet couches and a candelit ambiance.
Best little Bar in Downtown – Comfortable spot just slightly off the main strip in town. Parking lot in back, plush interior and gated smoking area so you can drink at the same time. Good for locals and meeting all kinds of friendly people. Opens early too! Strong drinks, good bartenders and with three TVs always something good on. Not to mention the Pac Man and the DJ's by night. One of the two most amusing lounges in the area!
WOW! – This Bar or Living Room whichever you prefer to call it is great. From the vintage Pac Man table top game to the Crushed Velvet Couches This Place will capture whatever mood your in. The bartenders were great and the music selection was right on. If youre looking for a place away from downtown this is it.

Luca Rubinacci in lavender and mustard
By admin on August 6th, 2008
The Sartorialist snapped Luca Rubinacci, son of Italian tailor Mariano Rubbinaci looking resplendent in a tricky combination of lavender and mustard.
His white jeans add freshness to the look and note the pale stripe shirt, which stops the outfit from looking too blocky. I like the quirky touch of a few (Indian ?) bangles and I can never overlook a pair of tasselled loafers.
After the jump I've picked out a few lavender and mustard items to get the look, and a great A.P.C shirt to tone it all down.
