Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I lose other financial aid if I receive a scholarship?
A: Yes. All financial aid is based upon your financial need. Since a scholarship reduces your need, you will require less financial aid to meet your educational expenses. You must notify the Financial Aid Office if you receive any scholarships, loans or grants from any source so that your need may be reappraised.
Q: What are the requirements to accept a Federal Stafford Loan?
A: First you need to accept the loan through Student Self Service Financial Aid. You will also be required to complete federal entrance counseling and complete and sign a Master Promissory Note.
Q: I do not want to borrow the full amount of Federal Stafford Loan. Can I ask for less?
A: Yes. When you receive your Federal Stafford Loan Acceptance Agreement, request only the amount you will need for the academic year. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have already received your loan and wish to return a portion of the funds.
Q: Is my financial aid taxable?
A: Financial aid for fees, tuition, books, supplies and required equipment is not taxable. Financial aid for living expenses, room, board and transportation is taxable. We suggest you consult the IRS, the income tax instruction booklet, the FAFSA instructions or a professional tax advisor. If you report financial aid on your tax return, be sure to list the same amount on your FAFSA - Question #43d.
Q: Can I receive financial aid to live off campus even though my parents live within commuting distance to the school?
A: Yes, you may opt to live in an apartment near school. You will be required to provide a copy of your lease/Sub Lease. If Sub Leasing please provide a notarized letter with a copy of the signed lease by the person whose name appears on the lease. Failure to submit required documentation your application will default to a lower cost of attendance
Q: What happens to my financial aid if I withdraw from school?
A: The law requires that, when you withdraw during a period of enrollment, or semester, the amount of financial aid that you have "earned" up to that point is determined by a specific formula. If you received less assistance than the amount that you earned, you will be able to receive those additional funds. If you received more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must be returned to the various federal programs. Federal regulations require that students who withdraw from school prior to completing 60 percent of the semester will have their eligibility for aid recalculated based on the percent of the semester completed. For example, a student who withdraws after completing only 30 percent of the semester will have "earned" only 30 percent of any financial aid received. The remaining 70 percent must be returned by the student and/or the school. Students should contact the Financial Aid Office to determine how a withdrawal will affect financial aid.
Q: Will I lose my financial aid if I have bad grades?
A. Yes. Students are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress which means they must maintain a minimum GPA and accumulate a minimum number of credits in a maximum time frame according to the standards of the various divisions of the school. Students on academic probation for two semesters are ineligible for federal financial aid.
Q: Will I be eligible for financial aid if I attend an exchange or study abroad program?
A: If the exchange or study abroad program is approved for credit, you will be eligible for financial aid.
Q: Can I file my financial aid application independent of my parents?
A: If you can answer "yes" to any of the following questions, you are considered independent for financial aid purposes:
- Were you born before January 1, 1996?
- At the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year, will you be working on a master's or doctorate degree program?
- Are you currently serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed forces for purposes other than training?
- Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?
- Do you have children who will receive more than half of their support from you between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020?
- As of today, are you married?
- At any time since you turned 13, were both your parents deceased, were you in foster care or were a dependent or ward of the court?
- Are you or were you an emancipated minor or in legal guardianship as determined by a court in your state of legal residence?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2018 did your high school or school district homeless liaison or the director of emergency shelter or transitional housing program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self-supporting and at risk of being homeless?
- At any time on or after July 1, 2018 did the director of a runaway or homeless youth basic center or transitional living program determine that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or were self supporting and at risk of being homeless?
If you cannot answer "yes" to one of the above questions, you are considered dependent and must include your parents' financial information when you file your FAFSA. If you are independent under the above guidelines, The Cooper Union reserves the right to request your parents' tax return.
Q. I plan to get married during the academic year. Can I file my FAFSA as "married" now, since I will be married in a few months?
A: No. You must indicate your marital status as of the date you complete your FAFSA.
Q: What can I do if I have a dispute with my lender or guarantor regarding my Federal Stafford Loan?
A: The SFA Ombudsman has been established to assist student loan borrowers in resolving any loan disputes or problems. You can contact the SFA Ombudsman Office at:1-877-557-2575 or www.sfahelp.ed.gov.
Q: What is Verification?
A: Your application may be selected for a review called "Verification". The law says that before awarding Federal Student Aid, we must ask you to confirm the information you and your parents reported on your FAFSA to verify that you provided correct information. The Financial Aid Office will provide you with a Verification Worksheet that you must complete and submit with any additional required documents. We will compare both the FAFSA and the worksheet. If there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected.
Q: How do I know if I am eligible for a deferment of my Federal Stafford Loan?
A: Borrowers in repayment of a Federal Strafford Loan may be eligible for a deferment in specific situations:
|At least half time study at a postsecondary school
|Study in an approved graduate fellowship program or in an approved rehabilitation training program for the disabled.
|Economic hardship (includes Peace Corps Service)
|Engaged is service listed under discharge/cancellation conditions
|Active Military Duty while borrower is on active duty during a war or other military operation or national emergency and if the borrower was serving on or after October 1, 2007, for an additional 180 day period following the demobilization date for the qualifying service.
Deferments are NOT automatic. You must request a deferment and provide all the information that your lender requires. Additional information is available on teaching and other types of service and cancellations can be found online at:
At the site, click on "Students, Parents and Counselors".
Please feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office if you have other questions.

A lot can happen in a year, especially for young companies given the exposure of presenting at the bi-annual DEMO conference. With fall 2012 DEMO about to kick off, Network World caught up with some of last year's DEMO award winners.
Six presenters were given DEMOgod awards, while one received the People's Choice award, which comes with a $1 million multi-media advertising package. Here's an update:
Aurasma - DEMOgod and People's Choice award winner
The most celebrated of last year's presenters, Aurasma provides an impressive mobile technology that extends the physical world to the Internet. Through an app designed for the iPhone 4 and 4S, iPad 2 and 3, and some Android devices, Aurasma's technology recognizes physical objects through the device's camera and immediately links to information or content related to them.
This video shows a good example, in which the user scans a GQ Magazine cover photo of Tim Tebow to find related video of Tebow holding press conferences or television interviews.
Aurasma's global head of sales Matt Mills described the presentation at DEMO as "six minutes of pure adrenaline." He adds, "To be honest, I didn't actually know whether I had said was what we had planned until I watched the video back afterwards."
Not that it mattered. Mills says presenting at DEMO "really did launch the U.S. side of our business," providing a platform for the company to launch a partner program that has since added 8,000 partners.
The momentum created at DEMO led to improvements in Aurasma's product, culminating in a completely redesigned mobile app to be released shortly. This work has not gone unnoticed, either.
Last month, Aurasma announced an agreement to provide its augmented reality technology for Spain-based telecommunications giant Telefonica's location-based marketing and mobile coupon services, Giga Om reported.
For those preparing for DEMO presentations this year, Mills had some advice. "This is six minutes to show the audience that you have something that will change the world, so show something that is considered 'everyday' or describe an everyday problem, then show how your innovation or product can really make a difference," Mills says. "Then you must find something for the end that will really blow people away."
Above all else, though, Mills says presenters need to be prepared with a backup plan, because "if something bad can happen on a normal day it is about 100 times more likely to happen on a DEMO day."
WeVideo - DEMOgod award winner
WeVideo introduced its cloud-based video editing and collaboration tool at last year's Fall DEMO event, having recognized "the massive appetite for online video and knowing that the majority of online videos are unedited." The objective is to make it as easy to edit and post a video online as it is with photographs.
Company CEO Jostein Svendsen says DEMO was WeVideo's first chance for global recognition. "We went from being a completely unknown little startup from Norway, with a total of three Google search results, to being discussed in technology and consumer magazines around the world, and being hailed as the 'next big thing,' Svendsen says.
WeVideo also went on to partner with YouTube, integrating its video editor tool directly onto YouTube's site. Later, WeVideo was chosen as a launch partner for Google's cloud-based file storage tool Drive.
Beyond reputation, Svendsen says DEMO served as a major milestone in its $19.2 million Series A financing round. Svendsen's advice for companies attending DEMO is to remember that the presentation doesn't necessarily end after they leave the stage.
"My best advice for demonstrators is: Have fun, do a killer demo, not only on stage but also continuously on the exhibition floor for everyone you meet," Svendsen says. "Engage with the plethora of interesting folks, engage with partners, media and investors, and make DEMO a coming-out opportunity."
Planana - formerly known as trueRSVP, DEMOgod award winner
Almost everything about this company has changed in the past year, including its name. Now called Planana, the company attended Fall DEMO 2011 under the name trueRSVP and held one of the most memorable presentations seen at the event.
Company co-founder Fei Xiao ran onstage in a wedding dress to ask the audience if they'd seen her missing fiancé. The idea was to demonstrate the company's scheduling app, which measured social media users' likelihood to attend events based on whether they'd attended events they were invited to on Facebook and other social networks.
The ploy worked, granting the company enough attention to eventually hold a seed round of funding from Tech Coast Angels, with which it completely rebranded. This summer, Xiao and fellow co-founder Anna Sergeeva re-launched the company as Planana and shifted its efforts towards a product that helps increase attendance and sponsorship for events through social networks. Through a sort of gamification process, Planana provides rewards to attendees who engage with the brands hosting or sponsoring an event.
DEMO provided key momentum to get the company through such a dramatic shift, Sergeeva says. "DEMO definitely gave us a great press push that helped us gain our initial user base," she says. "Also, validation from DEMO was great when raising our seed round."
After her own experience with a unique, successful presentation at DEMO, Sergeeva advises this year's attendees to "practice, practice, practice," and to keep their pitch "simple but effective."
"And, of course, challenge yourself to be unconventional and leave an impact," Sergeeva says.
LUMOback - formerly known as zero2one, DEMOgod award winner
Another DEMOgod award winner was zero2one, the company now known as LUMOback that offers a mobile app that monitors its users' posture and movement to prevent back pain. The app, compatible with the third-generation iPad, fifth-generation iPod Touch, and iPhone 5 and 4S, recognizes when users are slouching in their seats and emits a vibrating reminder to sit upright.
Since DEMO, where CEO and co-founder Monisha Perkash says the company made valuable contacts with media and investors, the re-branded LUMOback has completely altered its product's design and algorithms for improvements. This, of course, was driven by the $1.1 million in seed funding and $200,000 in Kickstarter contributions LUMOback has garnered in the past year.
Interestingly, all of this came after an event that Perkash says she and her colleagues almost didn't attend. Having second thoughts about whether the company was ready to launch, Perkash says they didn't commit to presenting at DEMO until one week beforehand.
In the past year, Perkash has reaped the benefits of the networking opportunities at DEMO, and advises any company that may be unsure to take advantage of it.
"A key to having good relationships is building them before you need them, and DEMO is a great way to begin doing that with future customers, press, investors, and partners," Perkash says. "Even if there is not an immediate outcome of the connections you make, many of them will benefit you down the road."
While most of these companies have grown, not all have been so lucky. DEMO's Rising Star award winner, a startup called AdGame, has faded. AdGame was one of three selected to attend DEMO from the 300 that competed at the Mega Startup Weekend event held at Microsoft's Mountain View campus last September. At DEMO, AdGame edged out the other two remaining startups to earn the Rising Star award. Last month, a company representative said the company is currently on hold.

The United States pays a huge price for its dependence on foreign oil, both in dollars drained from consumers' pocketbooks and in loss of control of its destiny.
So, for the financial well-being of the nation and in the interest of national security, President Barack Obama has made development of alternative domestic energy sources a cornerstone of his energy policy. That commitment is backed with millions of federal dollars, some of which has gone to many of the hundreds of Native American tribes sitting on resources needed to bring alternative sources of electricity flowing to homes and businesses.
"Overall, there's a huge resource on Indian lands all over the country," said William Brown, of New Mexico-based Sage West consultants & The Climate Reality project.
Brown said if just one-third of the solar capability on the Navajo nation's vast reservation lands were developed, it would produce enough energy "to power the entire nation through the rest of this century." Wind resources of tribal lands on the Great Plains from Texas to Canada could power 50 million homes.
"That's a vast amount of energy," Brown said.
If the resources on the nation's tribal lands, otherwise referred to as "Indian Country," are heavily developed, it could mean lower rates for electricity, new directions for the nation's energy industry and a new economic reality for some Native American tribes and their neighboring communities.
Federal officials and tribes see the potential impacts, too. And many in the energy world, including Tracey LeBeau, director for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs, say the Southern Ute Indian Tribe provided the spark that helped ignite a fire for energy production and potential in Indian Country nationwide.
While the Utes spent decades developing, managing and profiting from development of oil and gas resources on their lands, other Native American tribes have taken note. The Southern Utes showed the world that it's possible for sovereign tribal nations, no matter how small, to gain the training, technical expertise and business savvy needed to turn their lands into energy-producing and economic-development machines.
"Historically, tribes have not been in control of developing their resources," said Carolyn Stewart, managing partner of Red Mountain Energy, a national consulting firm that aids tribes and investors in developing renewable energy resources on tribal lands. "That has been changing over the last 15 to 20 years, and the Southern Utes were the model for that change."
Since 1994, the Department of Energy has invested more than $45 million in more than 200 tribal energy projects, Lebeau said. And millions more were spent last year to help tribes explore, develop and produce energy from their lands.
In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy doled out another $6.5 million to fund 19 "clean-energy" projects in Indian Country in February as part of the Obama Administration's commitment to strengthening partnerships with Tribal Nations and supporting alternative eenergy development. Among the projects funded were a $347,000 Navajo Nation study of the viability of installing 4,000 megawatts of solar power and other renewable energy technologies on 22,000 acres of land in northwestern New Mexico.
Grants are just the beginning
New federal programs, including the DOE's Strategic Technical Assistance Response Team, have been launched to advance clean-energy generation in Indian Country. LeBeau said the department also is designing energy-development training programs for tribal leaders. Other federal agencies, such as the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, are shifting focus and creating programs to aid tribal efforts to develop renewable-energy technologies on their lands.
William Anderson, chairman of the Moapa Band of Paiutes in Nevada, lauded the support his tribe has received from federal agencies, including the BIA and Department of Interior. The tribe is developing two large-scale solar projects that would produce up to 600 megawatts of energy on 3,000 acres of their reservation.
"(Those agencies) have been a big help in pushing our projects forward," Anderson said. "And because of it, we're going to set a precedent in Indian Country with one of the largest solar developments to date."
Brown said the work is indicative of a national trend.
"The longer trend is toward cleaner energy where the fuel is free and abundant," Brown said. "It's just a matter of tapping into that in a big way to make the transition from fossil fuels."
And officials say the energy development potential, particularly in the Southwest and Mountain regions of the United States, is significant.
Challenges meet solutions
Investors and energy companies aren't blind to the opportunities in Indian Country, but there are many hurdles. Some industry watchers, including George Richardson, a local geologist and founder of the U.S. Energy Policy Coalition, even say the hurdles are so many and so daunting that it may be impossible for America's homes and businesses to run entirely using renewable energy.
"But we have to try," Richardson said.
So tribes and the U.S. government are working to systematically break down the barriers.
For example:
The nation lacks critical infrastructure and a comprehensive policy for renewable energy. And the power grids aren't set up for a system that deploys only renewable energy sources, whether from tribal, public or private land. But a new $1.5 billion plan by Tres Amigas to link the nation's three energy grids in New Mexico could bring solutions. (The Navajo Nation is a possible investor in the project.) And the Department of Energy is working with other federal agencies tofind ways to accelerate development of transmission projects, which currently can take up to a decade to site and permit.
Tribes have their own governing bodies and may not have a formal judicial system. And because of tribes' sovereignty, federal laws may provide limited remedies for dealing with business disputes. But those issues can be addressed with good contracts. Investors willing to navigate that process can reap a reward because renewable projects can often be accomplished quickly on native lands.
The market for renewable energy can be unpredictable. Many power companies are buying only the renewable capacity they're required to under state and federal mandates. The buying stops when the mandates are met. And often, potential buyers such as government agencies and utilities prefer to buy "paper credits," rather than actual energy. But some states are creating and adjusting rules around paper credits, or Renewable Energy Credits, to remove the unfair competitive advantage paper credits can have over actual tribal energy.
Federal procurement policies also have slowed some energy deployment in Indian Country. But LeBeau said her department is looking at the policies and will provide guidance to other federal agencies. The energy Policy Act of 2005 allows federal agencies to procure tribal energy, and it even suggests preference in those cases where federal agencies can tap in, she said.
Land held in trust by the federal government for tribes also is stalling projects, tribal and industry officials said.
But new tribal land leasing rules give the Bureau of Indian Affairs just two months to approve proposed projects for Indian lands held in federal trust unless there is a "compelling" reason not to act.
Because tribes are tax-exempt, they are ineligible for many government incentives, which are tax-based. So consultants and private investors, who can use the credits, have formed creative partnerships to close the gap.
Despite the obstacles, the future is clear to alternative-energy advocates.
Brown said one only has to look at how the United States lags behind other countries in renewable-energy development to see what's ahead.
"This market is something that could change quickly once the message gets out there," Brown said. "This is the beginning of a multidimensional process of transforming our entire society."
LeBeau called it "thenext generation of energy."

Washington (CNN) - The Senate on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved broad reforms to the Department of Veterans Affairs less than two weeks after a health care scandal led to the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.
The vote was 93 to 3.
The unusually swift bipartisan passage spoke to the alarm lawmakers felt when reports revealed tens of thousands of veterans waited months for doctor appointments. The problems were worsened by agency employees who created false waiting lists to try to hide the crisis.
The bill makes it easier for the VA secretary to fire executive employees, creates 26 new VA medical facilities around the country, and authorizes $500 million for the hiring of new doctors and nurses. It allows veterans waiting for care to go to private physicians and send their bills to the VA, among other provisions.
The legislation needs to be melded with similar House measures, a process which is also expected to happen quickly.
To ensure swift passage, Republicans set aside their concerns that the spending in the bill breaks budget caps. Many GOP senators argued the VA crisis is so dire it deserves to be treated as an emergency and therefore the costs don't not need to be offset with spending cuts elsewhere.
"To ensure swift passage, Republicans set aside their concerns that the spending in the bill breaks budget caps. "
That is appropriate. If the GOP didn't care about spending when they endorsed starting a war in the wrong country, they better sure as heck not care when the Vets come home.
Thank GOD. That is something we could all agree on.
-what VA bill separately? Ridiculous and idiotic. Why not we just include in ACA Law, make an addendum to the supplement of Healthcare Legislation? So that we can include all of USA citizenry into one piece of legislation.
Why not use the $ millions that Obama uses for the FDA to teach criminal immigrants on how to get food stamps. That money should be used for our citizens that put their life on the line for our freedoms.
Oh... That's right... Obama and Co. prefer to help criminal immigrants than our own.
Ahh election time. Time to do something about things that have been screwed up for decades, and try to lay all the blame on one or two current guys.
This is great news 🙂 Thank you .
Mark this day down on the calendar. republicans had a good idea and did something to help people. we haven't seen that in a very long time and we may never see it again. this is the most sensible solution to this shameful problem. well done! see what you can accomplish when you don't look at everything thru the prism of the almighty dollar? now if we could get them to see the light on climate change, maybe we could save the planet in time for our grandchildren to have a decent life.
Obama will probably veto it in favor for more criminal immigrants support as he has demonstrated time and time again that he favors them over our own Vets.
It is a real shame that we have to go to these steps when all of this should have been properly managed and problems/issues should have been tabled for action earlier. I would hate to think that "once" Congress feels that the VA backlog is corrected and that vet's can be seen in a timely manner, and with total competence, that some or all of those 26 facilities will be shuttered.
Truman talked about VA wait times being too long ... TRUMAN! Good to see Congress finally doing something about this.
Good, it is sad that Secretary took the assignment seriously which was a part of active military operation. He being from defense background should have if not done more at least taken stock of and put up proposal to President.
Thank you , it's about time !
After two 14 year conflicts , expect some waiting time at the VA .
It's almost time to cut taxes for people making over 2 million a year.
THey need to clean the senate up quickly
The VA hospitals are overwhelmed by the number of vets who need health care. This has been problem since we invaded Iraq. More and more military personnel are returning from the war zone with health issues.'
Isn't it funny that the Senate can act quickly. It is hard to believe that no members of Congress heard from these men and women when they could not get appointments. There have been problems all along and this scandal has brought them to our attention. The bonus system added a little of fuel to the fire. No one wanted to lost the bonus which just makes us realize that this is a middle management problem . This gives Congress something to do since the Republicans do not want to work problems out through compromise and to help the Country move forward.
So in February the majority of Senate Republicans voted 'No' on a VA Bill to open more facilities, hire more doctors and such. Now the majority of them vote 'Yes', strange how 4 months made such a huge difference.
We need to see the length of delays by race for all VA facilities.
You always have to think it out when the government makes a deal. More hospitals = pork for reps' hometowns whether they are needed there or not? I was at a VA Healthcare clinic today and noted a booklet about tele-medicine being and secure messaging being used as one of the advances of the VA. With the tele-medicine the VA professionals can have video conference calls with their patients so that they can see and review them from home or a nearby VA facility. The Congress seems to ignore this, or at least it is not mentioned in your article. Secure Messaging, on the VA website for veterans allows me to send questions to my VA healthcare team between visits and receive responses in a relatively short time. These capabilities negate the necessity of opening up more brick and mortar facilities at savings to the taxpayers.
When I saw that the government was going to take action I became concerned because I realized that anything they've done in the last few years have not worked, or not worked well.
In addition I believe, besides firing the few incompetents is to support the following capabilities:
1. Some veterans live too far from a VA emergency room, so may have to go to a non-VA hospital ER. The current regulations limit reimbursement, based on so many regulations to very few of the veterans under their care. This needs to be changed to include all veterans without exceptions as such a visit can easily bankrupt the veteran if the VA does not cover them.
2. Dental care is strictly limited to the few veterans who need it based on damage done during their time in service. As dental care is extremely expensive and necessary to the health of all veterans it needs to be covered completely. The VA recently started a dental plan via two insurance companies, with its cost and exceptions to care I look at it as a sick joke. Full dental care must be provided for all veterans at all VA hospitals with no exception.
3. The VA in conjunction with university medical researches does extensive research and has found some amazing breakthroughs. However, by law they can't further use, or further develop for marketing these breakthroughs for the veterans or civilians. For example, several years ago they developed a breakthrough for cataract replacement. However, no commercial medical companies advance this development for finalization and marketing probably because it would limit the large profits from the current approach to cataract correction. This has to stop, and the VA must be allowed to further develop these medical breakthroughs.

whey protein is not just for muscle-heads and fitness buffs. It is an essential item for anyone interested in weight loss, tight muscles, improved metabolism, increased energy, better nutritional balance, and overall health.
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2014
Today, Henry Rearden of OverallHealth.org is focused on the BioTrust Low Carb whey protein blend. Himself an avid user, Rearden emphasizes the primary qualities to look for in a worthy whey product, and what BioTrust has done to accomplish this standard.
For the record, BioTrust Nutrition emphasizes the qualities of honesty, integrity, and trust. It is this approach they claim to use as a guiding platform in creation of their array of weight loss, whey protein, and other health-related supplement products.
Just in case the casual weight loss tire-kicker might tend to overlook the importance of whey protein in their nutritional arsenal, Henry has this to say: "Do not even consider the notion of burning fat and losing weight without entering a whey protein supplement into your daily intake. It is an absolute necessity! I don't care if you 'accelerate' your weight loss with other pills and supplements or trendy 'diets' - fine, but by including whey protein in your lifestyle improvement goals, you are infinitely more likely to realize long-term success with your goals."
Having established this all-important theme, Rearden goes on to enumerate some of the qualities most relevant to quality whey protein: "timed-release, all-natural, low sugar content, low-temp processing, no hormones, proper, quality protein blend, great taste, honesty in labeling."
Summarily, asserts Rearden, whey protein is not just for muscle-heads and fitness buffs. It is an essential item for anyone interested in weight loss, tight muscles, improved metabolism, increased energy, better nutritional balance, and overall health.
More information is available on the BioTrust Nutrition Low Carb webpage.
Rearden's review can be accessed here.
OverallHealth.org is a free-spirited site where author and chief editor Henry Rearden enjoys profiling and reviewing fresh – sometimes trendy - new products to hit the health market. Anything in the periphery of health and well-being is fair game for Henry to pull off the shelf for a look-see!

The hip is made of a bowl shape socket on the pelvis and a ball at the top of the leg bone. A hip osteotomy is a surgery to cut, reshape, and reposition the bones of the pelvis or legs.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Hip osteotomy is done when the hip bones do not fit together well. Poorly fitting hip bones can cause pain and make it difficult to move. Over a long period of time, the improper fit can lead to problems like arthritis.
The surgery is most often done in children. It may be done because of:
Complications are rare. But no procedure is completely free of risk. The doctor will review a list of possible complications, including:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Images of the hip bones and other structures may be taken with:
In the days leading up to the surgery, the doctor will talk about your medications. Some medications may need to be stopped before the surgery.
You may be asked to stop eating or drinking after midnight the night before surgery.
General anesthesia is usually used. It blocks pain and promotes sleep through the surgery.
Several incisions will be made around the hip joint. The specific bones that are altered will depend on your specific condition. The leg and/or pelvic bones will need to be cut. A wedge of bone may be removed. This wedge will be attached to a new area and held in place with plates and screws. The cuts and wedge will allow the shape of the bone to be changed to position them into a better place.
The incision area will be closed with stitches.
Vital signs will be monitored in a recovery room.
2-5 hours depending on the type of surgery
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. Medication will also be given after surgery to help manage pain.
Hospital stay may last for 4-5 days. Complications will lead to a longer stay.
Recovery in the hospital may include:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
To help ensure a smooth recovery at home:
A physical therapist can help you with balance, range-of-motion, and strength training.
Your doctor will want to check on your progress. Full recovery can take 3-6 months.
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Weekend breaks in New York 2020
Loud, glitzy, sprawling and relentlessly busy, New York is the ultimate megalopolis…the city of cities that never sleeps! Made up of five boroughs, of these Manhattan conjures up the primary iconic images most people think of.
Situated where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic, with so much to see and do you'd be hard-pushed not to be wowed. But a word of warning… you may feel like you need a relaxing holiday when you get back!
People love New York for countless different reasons, with spring, early autumn and Christmas the busiest tourist periods. Weather-wise, best times to visit are April to June or August to October when the weather is generally milder and you're less likely to need to carry a coat. Peak daytime temperatures in September are about 25°C, decreasing month by month to February. Summers are warm and humid and winters can be extreme, often with snow and biting winds. On the plus side, the bitter chills of NYC winters do feel dryer and somehow less harsh than the British cold.
Early September is fab for Fashion Week, with New York hosting the opening week before it all moves on to London. Keep your eyes peeled for A-listers and their entourages visiting town, along with the great and the good from the world of fashion – and learn what's hot for next season!
Hallowe'en (October 31st) is a sight to behold in NYC with a night parade attracting more than two million people, many in costumes. Some of the parade puppets are so enormous that they tower alongside the buildings on Sixth Avenue.
Christmas in New York is nothing short of spectacular. With the endless twinkling lights, shopping opportunities and festive attractions, in combination with that distinct wintry chill in the air, it really does feel like the ultimate winter wonderland, recalling countless feel-good festive movies.
Air travellers to New York City may arrive at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) or LaGuardia Airport (LGA), both in Queens, or Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in neighbouring New Jersey. LaGuardia is the closest to midtown Manhattan but not served by trains so a car or taxi ride will get you to Manhattan in about 35 minutes depending on traffic. JFK and Newark are both served by the AirTrain which can take up to an hour but are relatively simple to navigate.
With so much to do and see in New York, there's simply no excuse not to get your trip booked up now.
So you're sold on New York, now we just have to get you there. We've searched our partner websites Secret Escapes, First Choice, Skyscanner, Jet2holidays, Travelzoo, Sunshine.co.uk, BlueSea Holidays, British Airways, BBC, Premier Holidays, Tripadvisor, Hays Travel, Southall Travel, The Flights Guru, Great Little Breaks, Boutique Retreats, Sky, Amazon, Sandals, Groupon, Away Holidays, Netflix, Apple, Travelzoo, TUI, Virgin Atlantic, Teletext Holidays, The Travel Brand, On The Beach, Exoticca, LoveHolidays, Travelscoop, LivingSocial and Lonely Planet to find the best weekend breaks in New York for 2020. You'll find a list of the current deals below. Prices are typically for 2 or 3 days, but long weekends and week long stays are often possible.

I caught myself endorsing Slitaz over Damn Small Linux the other day, not realizing exactly how long it has been since I used DSL, and whether or not it has improved in the past year or so. Slitaz scooped me up quite easily after relying on DSL for many years — so easily in fact, that I never looked back.
But when I suggested it over DSL again, I figured I ought to take another look, to be fair. After all, I think the last time I used it was when it had just crossed to 4.0, and as we all know, point-oh releases are never quite right.
To be honest, I don't see much on the surface of version 4.4.10 that appears to have changed.
Or I guess I should say, the changes that I first notice are mostly aesthetic. JWM is still the window manager with Fluxbox as an option, but with a different "look" here and there — new wallpaper, different desktop font, and so forth.
The application array seems similar to what I remember from a year ago. Probably one of the strong points for DSL is the choice of office software that comes in so small a bundle — things like the Siag suite; Word, PDF and postscript viewers; dictionaries and so forth.
And a round assortment of games and Internet appliances are there too, including chat programs and FTP clients. Sylpheed is on board, along with a short list of browser options — the old Dillo, Firefox 2.0, and some others.
And it's nice to see some fundamental improvements in the way DSL manages itself. I don't remember a MyDSL Browser before — something that makes picking out software a lot easier. I could swear I had seen something very similar running the show with Tiny Core though — perhaps it was borrowed from that project.
And once DSL is up and running, you have the option to install a lot more fun stuff. Most of the commonplace applications you would expect in something like Arch or even Ubuntu are ready to download and run.
So I certainly can't fault DSL for being established, well-rounded and extensible. And it manages to find the hardware on my Inspiron without a fight. So why do I still, even after this second look, prefer Slitaz?
It's hard to put my finger on it. DSL does a great job, but Slitaz feels cleaner, slimmer and faster. DSL still seems absorbed by unusual assortments of GTK1.2 software, mixed in with a few extra programs which don't seem to mesh well, appearancewise.
I don't hold any grudge against outdated software — after all, I regularly rely on text-based applications I dug out of the corners of the Internet — but I wonder why the 2.4 kernel is still preferred (answer here). I wonder why a newer version of Firefox isn't in there by default … if Firefox is going to be in there at all. And I wonder why, after all these years, someone hasn't managed to come up with a slick, cohesive look for DSL — rather than two or three vaguely connected themes (particularly in the GTK1.2 category) and a somewhat-matching wallpaper or two.
Okay, okay. I apologize. I know full well that those are superficial points. I should be more enthusiastic that DSL starts up and runs fine. I have met distributions that couldn't accomplish that.
But I can't help noticing all these little points and wondering what's holding DSL back … particularly when I start up Slitaz again.
So that's my impression. I will always like DSL, and I admire it for its loyalty to outdated machines. But so long as Slitaz can do much the same thing, in less space, with fresher software and a cleaner, faster look, I will continue to choose it over DSL.
And that's what it's all about: choice.

Why buy property in fethiye Turkey
Property buying in the Fethiye area of Turkey means you get more per square metre than most other areas of Turkey.
Investment property, holiday homes, or permanent homes can be purchased in Fethiye, in a range of areas, whether it be a stylish luxury villa in Ovacik with stunning Oludeniz sea views, a seafront apartment in the Calis Beach area, an exclusive marina property in Gocek or a humble apartment in Tasyaka, Fethiye offers it all, quite often at affordable prices that suit almost everyone's budget.
The type of property and area you choose to buy depends on your reason for buying. If you are searching for a buy-to-let option for holiday rentals then Calis Beach, Ovacik, Hisaronu and Gocek are ideal areas offering excellent rental potential for summer bookings. Permanent home buyers tend to buy in Calis, Tasyaka and Deliktas for the excellent everyday local amenities, though some do prefer more rural locations away from resort life, in the villages that sit on the outskirts of Fethiye, such as Uzumlu, Kemer, Ciftlik and Yaniklar all having excellent road and public transport connections to the centre. Holiday home buyers tend to buy in their favourite location, though some do buy in central Fethiye areas for the ideal base to explore everything that Fethiye has to offer.
Property for sale in FETHIYE Turkey
Calis is a highly popular seaside holiday destination and has been for many years, located across the bay from the busy harbour town of Fethiye on the stunning Turquoise coast in southern Turkey.
Many years ago, before Calis was a holiday resort, the beach had a small freight rail track running along the waterfront, used for the transportation of mined goods from inland which were then transferred across to Fethiye to be shipped to other coastal areas from the jetty at the end of the beach, which is now the location of the popular waterfront restaurant that goes by the name of 'Sat Beach Club & A La Carte Restaurant'.
Today the beach has a long promenade lined with an array of international restaurant's, relaxing bars, and several shops that sit just behind the beach, and is filled with sun loungers an parasol's in the summer.
As Calis is famous for its amazing sunsets, and there is no better place to see the sight than on the promenade, taking a pew in one of the restaurants or bars, looking out to sea with a cool drink or a nice evening meal, as the sun slowly dips down like a huge ball of fire with silhouettes of palm trees in many of the captured pictures, a truly magical sight to see.
Calis is mostly flat land backed by the stunning pine clad mountains of the Fethiye region, and although it is known as a summer holiday resort, life in Calis goes on all year round, with a large ex-pat community and locals living in the area all year round, having an array of every day amenities of supermarkets, schools, hospital, along with man of the restaurants and bars that remain open throughout the year, unlike some resorts in the area that close down for the winter season.
Real Estate In Calis
Property in Calis is purchased for several reasons, with buyers searching for holiday homes, family or retirement homes, or as pure investment in Turkey as the area offers excellent rental yields especially property that is located near the sea which can offer a year round income with the resort being open all year and enjoying a wonderful warm climate with an average of 300 sunny days every year.
Calis property for sale comes in all price brackets with 2 bedroom apartments starting in the region of £50,000, located on complexes with large communal pools, with some having excellent on-site amenities. Villa accommodation for sale in Calis can be as low as £85,000 for those on complexes, and the more luxurious private villas with sea front locations can easily reach seven figures.
Overall anyone looking to buy property in Calis, Turkey, will be offered a laid back lifestyle near the sea, and investors can expect a healthy year round income from either long or short term rentals
Turkey Homes will guide you to your ideal accommodation in Calis, Turkey, taking into consideration you lifestyle requirements and budget.

Fortune from Miscalculation
My Vox Populi column from the Sunday night/Monday morning line is now up at ABA Journal:
Sometimes gross miscalculations can yield fortuitous results.
Jordan Salberg arrived at One First Street on Sunday afternoon to find a group of ten undergraduates from Eastern University in Pennsylvania fronting the general admission line for Monday's oral arguments in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez.
Perfect, he thought: Salberg, a first-year at American University's Washington College of Law, came to see City of Ontario v. Quon, Monday morning's second argument. The undergrads would exit the Court after CLS and leave him the best (unreserved) seat in the house.
Salberg felt so warmed by his fortunes that he lent his air mattress and quilt to unlucky #13, who showed up from Seattle to sleep on the sidewalk without any protection from the cold concrete and unseasonably wintry winds.
But that was before Salberg decided to move his car at 6:45am. When he returned shortly after 7am, the Court police had moved the line up from the sidewalk to the plaza and handed out numbered placeholders. Salberg's guaranteed #11 disappeared; as far as the line was now concerned, his fifteen-hour wait never happened.
Read the rest here. I'll post some Supreme Court Side Walk footage later this week.

Elected officials, law enforcement officers and others proclaim there's a heroin "epidemic" sweeping the country, and that it's taking hold in rural and suburban communities once considered unlikely places to find illicit drugs.
But nobody knows how many people have died.
Nobody knows how many have overdosed and survived.
Nobody even knows for certain where the problem is most severe.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 3,036 people died in 2010 from heroin overdoses, but due to problems with how death investigations are conducted and how those deaths are documented, the CDC estimates its tally is at least 25 percent short, possibly more.
"I'm very scared for our nation in how fast this has grown and spread," said John Roberts, a retired Chicago police officer who created The HERO Foundation after his son died of a heroin overdose in 2010. "This is an epidemic. But it's not getting the attention that it needs because we don't know how bad it is."
Public health researchers, called epidemiologists, say long-standing flaws in data about fatal and non-fatal overdoses compounds the already difficult task of monitoring an illicit activity.
Having an accurate and timely picture of heroin abuse, and its effects, is crucial, researchers said, because heroin has much higher risks of overdose and infectious disease than other drugs, particularly compared to the prescription painkillers that many of today's heroin users started with.
"We need to know what they're dying from because our ability to measure drug use is very poor," said Caleb Banta-Green, a research scientist in Seattle and former advisor to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. "Death is what you want to prevent, and that data can tell you something about how we keep people alive."
To make matters worse, it has taken three years for the CDC to make the 2011 death data available to the public and researchers — a full year longer than usual — at a time when local reports from throughout the country indicate alarming increases in heroin use and overdoses.
The 2011 data is expected to be released later this week and researchers expect it will show a dramatic spike in the number of heroin-related deaths.
The CDC can say with confidence that more than 200,000 people died from drug overdoses between 2005 and 2010.
During that same time, the data shows that about 15,000 of those deaths involved heroin and about 86,000 involved other opioids, such as prescription painkillers.
But the CDC thinks these figures are short because of a study that found one-quarter of the death certificates for overdose victims between 2008 and 2010 did not specify the drug or drugs involved; and these rates varied by state, making it hard to see where the problem is most severe.
In Louisiana, 65 percent of the investigations of overdose deaths didn't specify what drug was involved; less than 1 percent failed to mention the drug in overdose deaths in Vermont, New Hampshire and West Virginia.
The differences stem from an inconsistent death investigation system in the U.S. and the fact that it's difficult to detect heroin on toxicology tests.
Some medical examiner or coroner offices might not have the budget to run toxicology tests on every autopsy and then interpret the results.
If tests are not done or they are inconclusive, the death certificate might simply say the person died from a "narcotic" overdose, or, least definitive of all, "undetermined."
Even with a toxicology test, it's possible a death investigator may not feel confident enough to say the person died from a heroin overdose. Heroin metabolizes in the body very quickly, and toxicology tests typically show evidence of morphine, another opiate.
The data is also slow to get to researchers, policymakers and others interested in assessing the problem at a national level. This has been exacerbated in recent years due to computer problems at the CDC and the shutdown of a surveillance system that measured non-fatal overdoses.
Bob Anderson, chief of the mortality statistics branch, said flaws in a new computer system delayed the death data by more than a year, but the new system will give his agency the ability to monitor health trends in near real-time.
"Within the next five years, things will be a lot different," Anderson said. "We'll be doing a lot more surveillance work using the mortality data … We'll be able to say things about the previous year early in the new year."
Numerous researchers said more complete, detailed and timely data would be helpful for informing policy makers who decide how to fight drug abuse and heroin in particular.
"Policy should rest upon good data. The better your data, the better policies you make in the first place and the better evaluations of the policies are," said Len Paulozzi, an epidemiologist with the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. "If you have to wait four years to get data, you're well behind in terms of trying to arrive at an effective policy."

Firstly, forgive me for my probably indecent English.
I was reading about how cancer evolves in a cell and that cancer can become inherited. I need a little brainstroming here so I can understand how this actually happens. So the germline cells that produce sex cells ( ? ) gets the effects of carcinogens/radiation causing there to be mutations in them..so what actually happens that the effect of the mutation gets inherited? In a human. So human A gets radiation in her ovaries? Causing the germline cells to start producing mutated sex cells? But aren't the eggs already been "evolved to the finest" when human A was just a thing in her mothers belly?
I'm so confused and not sure where I went wrong.
>.< I feel like I am doing a terrible job trying to explain what I need to know..but I hope someone gets what I'm trying to ask ><
Cell level is a wrong word to use….gene level is more better.
First, there is difference between cancer and mutation (which may lead to cancer).
What you probably mean, is that the DNA in egg/sperm changes after some treatment (chemical, irradiation) and this mutation is transferred to offspring.
Yes, well if you say it like that it makes more sense. So there's an egg/sperm cell and in it happens a mutation that leads to cancer..and it gets inherited..so if this persons has a child it will have a mutation in the DNA and the child might get cancer from that, and the childs child aswell.
Ok, so if this is the case, thank you for clarifying!

Over the last two weeks the World YWCA held a Pacific Leadership Summit in Fiji. Below Heather shares their impressions of the second day:
By Heather Mcauley from the YWCA of Australia
Day 2 of the summit was our chance to learn about some of the amazing young women's leadership projects in action across the Pacific Region.
We started the day hearing from the Solomon Island RISE UP peer educators. They are in the process of implementing a programme using drama, public speaking and other activities to help young women understand and access their human rights. One of the strengths of this programme is that the resource manual is designed to be fully self-contained so the peer educators do not have to rely on technology or other additional resources when delivering content in rural and remote settings. I loved the way this programme uses simple examples from lived experience to engage with human rights principals.
Next we shook things up a little and had a taster of the Y Victoria's Fly Girl program which uses circus to help young women build confidence and to think critically about the world around them. It was amazing to watch other women as they took on physical challenges that truly scared them. Everyone was so proud when they finally nailed it – inspiring stuff. And our sumo wall was AWESOME!!
Future Leaders is a four year mentoring programme for young women aged 14 to 18 that we heard about from the YWCA of Aukland. The programme pairs young women with female mentors and gives them the chance to build leadership skills over a sustained period. The programme also uses physical challenges to help build confidence.
In the afternoon we heard from FemLink's Generation Next and the Fiji Women's Rights Emerging Leaders Forum (ELF). Generation Next supports young women to produce and present radio shows on issues that are important to them while ELF supports young women leaders to help understand their human rights.
I was inspired by the diversity of ideas, the commitment of the women involved to building the strengths of young women, sometimes using peers and sometimes through intergenerational leadership. My take home message is that there is no 'right' answer or 'one size fits' all just lots of great ideas being implemented by a lot of passionate women.

BENEFITING: Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston
ORGANIZER: Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston
EVENT: 2012 Boston Marathon
EVENT DATE: Apr 16, 2012
Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston wrote -
The Myra Kraft Giving Back Scholarship Fund was established in 2003 by Myra's four sons to honor her on the occasion of Robert and Myra's 40th wedding anniversary. The Fund provides financial support for college to outstanding members of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston (BGCB) who give their time and talents to the community and understand the importance of helping others. Since Myra's passing in July 2011, the Fund has grown significantly and will provide more Club members with critical financial aid for college for generations to come.
According to The College Board, a typical full-time, year-round worker with a four-year college degree earns greater than 60% more than a high school graduate during his/her working life. The majority of our Club members come from low-income communities where only a small percentage of adults have attended college. In fact, 50% of our members come from households with an annual income of less than $27,000.
BGCB's mission is to help young people, especially those who need us most, build strong character and realize their full potential as responsible citizens and leaders. By supporting the Myra Kraft Giving Back Scholarship Fund you will help extend the mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston to further impact the lives of the individuals we serve.
