She earned a B.A. in psychology from Penn State University, as well as an M.S. and Ph.D. in public health from Walden University. She has a heart for vulnerable populations' research and the application of that research to front-line practice, conducting research and publishing in the field of family violence and social science research methodology. Graf has owned a small research company since 2009, and is a faculty member and instructional mentor for Liberty's online graduate M.P.H. program. She is dedicated to serving her students and the faculty with a Christ-like heart of grace, accountability, and encouragement, following the admonishment of 2 John 1:6 "Love means living the way God commanded us to live. As you have heard from the beginning, His command is this: Live a life of love." In applying her gifts to her work as an instructor and mentor, Graf incorporates a biblical foundation and academic integrity in all of her work. She lives in a rural area of York, Pa., with her four children and husband.

Jeremy West, Michigan Technological University
Catalyzed particulate filters (CPFs) are used in heavy-duty diesel exhaust systems to reduce the amount of EPA-regulated particulate matter (PM) exiting the tailpipe. During transient engine operation, there is a continual change of PM residing in the filter due to changing rates of PM accumulation and oxidation. Knowing this quantity is important not only for active regeneration control system implementation, but also for quantifying the health of the device. DPF models, required for PM state estimation, exist in the literature but are often not suitable for real-time state estimation due to their computational requirements.
This presentation describes a simple model and state estimation developed using Simulink. The model has been calibrated to experimental data using the Global Optimization Toolbox. An extended Kalman filter is used for state estimation and its performance compared to engine test cell experiments of PM. The filter, also developed using Simulink, could be used for fuel-optimal control strategies as well as on-board diagnostics.

Last here almost exactly two years ago, Broadway juggernaut "Wicked" is back, dragon still snarling, witches still flying and monkeys still screeching.
Except for minor restaging, the show remains essentially unchanged. In fact, it runs like clockwork — both the strength and weakness of "Wicked."
Like a child of the huge productions of the 1980s — "Phantom of the Opera," "Miss Saigon" and their ilk — "Wicked" burst onto Broadway in 2003. It was spectacle for a new generation, and it struck a chord.
Written by Winnie Holzman with music by Stephen Schwartz, "Wicked" still packs in crowds in New York. It's now the 12th longest-running Broadway show, frequently breaking box-office records.
It has built-in familiarity — the show is based on Gregory Maguire's best-selling novel, which in turn is based on L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz." And audiences respond to the visual magnitude; in Orlando, applause broke out at the top of the show when the mechanical dragon started to move.
But I would attribute its staying power to the simple fact that the world loves an underdog — especially one who stands up for what is right, not what is popular. We all wish we could be as brave as Elphaba, who had the misfortune of being born green. "Wicked" traces her journey along with that of her "frenemy" Glinda, as the women discover the evil truth about the so-called "wonderful" Wizard who runs their country of Oz.
The danger with "Wicked" is it's so easy to lose the emotional connection to the characters when they are swamped by the massive set and the elaborate costumes.
In the leading roles, Christine Dwyer and Jeanna de Waal have to provide the humanity amid the smoke and mirrors — and they just about pull it off.
De Waal's Glinda has a modern vibe, and she gets deserved laughs from her opening: "It's good to see me, isn't it?" Her Glinda isn't as prissy as some, which makes her more likeable but also diminishes her transition from shallow to steely by play's end.
Dwyer has a wonderful way with Elphaba, giving such a deadpan reading to her sarcastic retorts and bitter asides that her pain and loneliness shine through. She thrills the audience with a powerhouse "Defying Gravity," but her joy- and hope-filled "Wizard and I" is a showstopper as well.
Dwyer loses the battle against the production's mechanics though, in a completely overblown "As Long as You're Mine," meant to be a love song. She and Billy Harrigan Tighe, as her beau, are blasted with fog, striking theatrical pose after pose on cue as percussion booms from the speakers.
Almost nearly as ridiculous: The pivotal "No Good Deed," in which Dwyer's rage-infused singing can't mask the fact she's trapped between two wind machines so her cape will billow.
The show opens with the lyrics "No one mourns the wicked." No one mourns the subtle, either.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
My father received orders for Fort Douglas in 1970. He sold our house in California, packed us up and hauled us to Utah.
A year later, I got an after-school job as a janitor at the aging Fort Douglas PX. I wasn't much on cleaning, but I had another highly sought-after job skill. Unlike the dozen women I worked for, it didn't bother me to trap rats.
I left that job after a year, but I've always had fond memories of Fort Douglas. There's so much colorful history in that part of the valley much of it about cannons.
On Saturday, I returned to the old Army post when Sonny and I took our wives to the Fort Douglas Museum open house. I had been lured back by another woman: Su Richards, museum research archivist and friend.
Su needed me to do the only other thing I have ever been good at: demolishing stuff. In this case, a new building complex that blocked the parade ground's view of downtown Salt Lake City.
According to Su, the view had always been an essential part of Utah's history. From here, Col. Patrick O'Connor is rumored to have trained his cannon on the Salt Lake temple as a neighborly way of reminding Brigham Young who was in charge.
Because the temple was three miles away and out of range of O'Connor's guns, it was likely all for show. It probably still bothered Brigham Young, though.
I don't know anything about that. I do know something about artillery, especially the old stuff. And on Saturday, the Fort Douglas parade ground was once again filled with rows of obsolete cannon.
The guns ranged in size from pokey little Revolutionary War 2-pounders, all the way up to a Mexican War-era 16-pound howitzer. There were also more modern guns.
Note: The word "pound" refers to the weight of the projectile the gun is capable of firing. Two pounder equals 32 ounce cannon ball. Simple.
Note No. 2: If 2 pounds doesn't sound like much, try catching a can of lima beans coming your way at 900 feet per second. Better yet, try finding all of someone who did.
On Saturday, Fort Douglas echoed with the sound of artillery fire. The blasts were ear-splitting and made my wife flinch and cuss. Clouds of sulfur and cordite billowed across the parade ground. Dogs as far away as Ogden cringed under porches.
Sonny and I were either in heaven or a highly attractive version of hell. He immediately fell in love with a 37mm revolving-barrel Hotchkiss gun. I went for the more unsophisticated 17th century stuff.
Sonny is a former U.S. Navy gunner's mate. I have no idea what that is, only that he's never tried anything with me. However, he is smart about cannons. In fact, he's probably the only reason why all of me is still here.
While Sonny figured out his Hotchkiss gun, I spoke with Cap Cresap of California. Cap was wearing a Revolutionary War uniform. Cap had a small bronze 2-pound gun, copied from and original that once served aboard a sailing ship.
Cap's cannon would have fit nicely in the back of my truck had he been distracted for a couple of a minutes. Instead, he showed me how to fire it.
After carefully sighting them on the building Su wanted gone, Sonny and I touched off our respective guns. When the smoke cleared, the building was still standing.
That's when we discovered that once again, the cannons at Fort Douglas were just for show. They were loaded with blanks. It probably still bothered the people in the building, though. We had to settle for that.

Suicidal Ideation in Older Prisoners: The Role of Functional Disability
Lisa Barry, Ph.D., M.P.H., University of Connecticut Health Center
2012 Standard Research Grant
Inside the Research
Bio: Dr. Barry received her Master of Public Health and her doctorate from Yale University in 1998 and 2004, respectively. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the Center on Aging and in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Connecticut Health Center.
Research Categories: Prisoners, geriatrics, and suicidal ideation
Abstract: Suicide is the leading cause of death among prisoners. Trends show that suicide rates increase with age, and the fastest-growing prison population is age 50 and older, indicating a risk of increasing suicide rates in our prisons. Among the elderly, disability in acts of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing and dressing, is associated with suicidal ideation above and beyond other known risk factors such as a previous suicide attempt or depression. In prison, in addition to the typical ADLs, prisoners engage in prison-specific ADLs (PADLs), like being able to drop to the floor, walk to meals, hear instructions, or get up onto a bunk bed. Dr. Barry will administer interviews and questionnaires to 190 prisoners in three Connecticut prisons to examine the role of PADLs as well as other ADLs and known risk factors for suicidal ideation and behavior. These risk factors include psychiatric and medical illness, depression, social support, history of alcohol or drug use problems, prison sentence, and type of offense. If PADLs are indeed contributing to suicidal ideation, there may be easy remedies to help reduce suicidal ideation.
Impact: Identify specific risk factors in vulnerable groups such as prisoners and the elderly that can be targeted for suicide prevention efforts.

Seriously! How gorgeous is this fabric?? It's Crazy Love, the upcoming line by Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom. Jennifer was kind enough to send me some to play with before it hits stores in March and I finally had the chance to cut into it last night. This just might be my favorite line of Jennifer's yet.
This is one of my favorite prints and I think Jennifer's use of color is spectacular. I can't wait to finish my project and share it with you, so you can see just how amazingly gorgeous Crazy Love is.

Me: Perhaps we need to make a left turn at Albuquerque
Him: Let us try that
Now I would have said, "Let's try that". "Let us" sounds wrong to me in this instance. Is it? Are there contractions which are improper to use in their full form? I've always thought that in formal writing contractions are avoided. Are there any contractions that should be used even in formal writing?

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and fake your death. Your bookie will never bother you now that he thinks you were run over by that lawn tractor. LET'S GO!
WEEDS – 10:00PM (Showtime) Showtime's comedy starring the saucy, saucy Mary Louise-Parker is back for another season. When we last left Nancy Botwin and her family, she was on the run from both the FBI and the Mexican mob. I don't know much about drug trafficking, but I do know this: You definitely want the FBI to catch you before the Mexican mob does. ANTICIPATION: DR. FEELGOOD!
THE BIG C – 10:30PM (Showtime) The always brilliant Laura Linney now has a TV show to call her own, and it's this new Showtime comedy about a woman who has cancer. Now, I'll watch Laura Linney in pretty much anything. She's brilliant. But I'll be honest and say that a show devoted entirely to living with cancer, even a comedy, is a tough sell. Usually, I like my cancer as a dramatic side dish. A little sprinkle in my "House." A little dash of it in my "Mad Men." It's like salt. Put too much cancer in, and you run the whole dish. So I'll be interested to see if Linney's charms counteract the inherent bummer that is the subject matter. Oh, and Precious is also in this. ANTICIPATION: CANCERY!
ANIMAL PLANET INVESTIGATES: GANG DOGS – 10:00PM (Animal Planet) These are packs of vicious dogs trained by street gangs. I do not like the idea of gang dogs. Or dog gangs. Or anything that involves man's best friend taking up arms and beating up random passersby. Oh, Rufus. You were once such a sweet puppy. ANTICIPATION: SAD!
GIANTS/JETS – 8:00PM (ESPN) The brand new $1.6 billion Meadowlands Stadium opens this evening with the annual preseason tilt between New York's two NFL teams. To help fund the massive bill, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has passed a two-cent eye tax for anyone who watches. ANTICIPATION: EXPENSIVE!
ULTIMATE CAR BUILDOFF – 9:00PM (Discovery) Tonight the mechanics build spy cars complete with spikes and smoke and oil slicks and pretty much everything you saw when you played "Spy Hunter" that your current Honda sadly lacks. ANTICIPATION: CAR-SUBS!
Monday Watch List: It's Show Time For Showtime
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and fake your death. Your bookie will never bother you now that he thinks you were run over by that lawn tractor. LET'S GO!

Sunday December 14, 2008
This is definitely a battle of the defenses and whose defense is going to make the big play to propel their team to a win. The last time these two teams met the Steelers had the big play with Woodley returning a fumble for a TD. Both teams have stellar defenses and lack luster offenses, however, the Ravens might have a slight edge with their offense because they have the 3rd ranked rushing offense in the league and the Steelers are in the low to mid 20's statistically for their offense.
The Ravens have been relying on rookie QB Flacco. He is reminiscent of Big Ben in 2004 where he just managed the game and didn't turn the ball over and make mistakes to cost his team victories. For the Ravens to win this game they will have to rely on their running game as they have done all year.
Pittsburgh needs to take a good look in the mirror! Yes, the defense is awesome but that all that can be said about the Steelers. If the offense can come around and start to make some plays and move the ball with some consistency then the team as a whole would be awesome! Right now though they can't really pass it, and they can't run it! Not sure if it's the running backs and quarterback or maybe the offensive line or maybe a combination of both! It's really hard to say but something needs to change because even though the defense is as good as they are they are bound to have a bad game where the offense is going to need to step up and win a game... maybe this will be the one!
For the Steelers to leave Baltimore with another win in the win column they need to do the following:
- Force Flacco to air it out.
- Stop the Ravens run attack.
- Need to show offensively that they can score against a really good defense!
Join us this Sunday afternoon as we talk about the game and cheer our Steelers to a victory!

There are very few risks associated with teeth whitening. However, in rare cases, both professional-grade and over-the-counter products can cause:
Patients who continually whiten their teeth without the approval of their dentists can also develop serious oral health concerns. Constant use of peroxide-based whitening products can strip away tooth enamel and cause chemical burns on the soft tissue. However, these risks are rare and are typically associated with over-whitening or improper technique.
Undergoing professional whitening treatment with an experienced cosmetic dentist is the best way to minimize the chance of temporary or long-term side effects.
Although teeth whitening rarely causes long term damage, temporary sensitivity is not uncommon. If you experience any discomfort following your treatment, your dentist can help you minimize irritation in the future.
For most patients, sensitivity dissipates within a few days of treatment. While there is no way to predict who may develop the condition, some patients face a higher risk for post-whitening sensitivity. You are more likely to experience this side effect if you:
Your dentist can recommend techniques to minimize sensitivity for future treatments. Gentle cleansing products and toothpastes can manage and decrease discomfort. Some dentists also offer desensitizing products for whitening patients. If you experience irritation, you should abstain from touch-up treatments until otherwise instructed by your dentist.
Another common side effect associated with teeth whitening is gum irritation. This condition may result from:
When designed correctly, at-home whitening trays prevent the bleaching gel from coming into contact with your gum tissue. Your dentist can create a custom-made tray to reduce the chance of irritation.
Undergoing whitening treatment with an experienced cosmetic dentist is the best way to minimize the chance of temporary or long-term or side effects. Over-the-counter whitening products are less predictable. Some inexpensive products have dangerously high levels of peroxide. In addition, they are more likely to cause uneven results. Most side effects of teeth whitening stem from improper use of whitening gel, meaning you can protect your oral health by following all of your dentist's instructions precisely. Consult your dentist before beginning whitening treatment to determine if you are a good candidate for teeth bleaching.

Three venues have been named as potential sites for the 2010 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final: Qwest Field in Seattle, Wash., RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. and The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
The tournament semifinals take place Wednesday, Sept. 1, as D.C. United will host the Columbus Crew at 7:30 p.m. ET and Chivas USA will travel to face the Seattle Sounders at 7:30 p.m. PT. The results of the semifinals will determine the date and location of the tournament final, which will be televised live on Fox Soccer Channel.
Should Seattle emerge victorious against Chivas USA on Wednesday, the Sounders will host the final at Qwest Field on Tuesday, Oct. 5, at 8 p.m. PT. If Chivas USA defeats Seattle and D.C. United defeats Columbus, the final will take place at 7:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 6, at RFK Stadium. If Columbus defeats D.C. United and Chivas USA defeats Seattle, the final will be held at 8 p.m. PT on Tuesday, Oct. 12, at The Home Depot Center.
The Seattle Sounders are the defending Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup champions, and could host a rematch of the 2009 final at home after winning last year at RFK Stadium. However, should the final take place at RFK Stadium, it would be the fourth time the nation's capital played host to the championship match, after having done so in 1996, 2008 and 2009. The Home Depot Center has also played host to the U.S. Open Cup Final, serving as the venue in 2005 when the Los Angeles Galaxy defeated FC Dallas.
Chivas USA is the only club remaining that does not have its name engraved on the Dewar Cup, the trophy awarded to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup champion, with the 2010 semifinal appearance being the furthest the club has advanced in the competition. Columbus hoisted the trophy in 2002, D.C. United did so in 1996 and 2008, and Seattle won the title in 2009.
The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, which is recognized as U.S. Soccer's National Championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The tournament has crowned a champion for 96 consecutive years dating back to 1914. It is the oldest annual team tournament in U.S. sports history and among the oldest soccer tournaments of its type in the world. In 1999, the competition was renamed to honor long-time soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt.
37 Sept. 1 Columbus Crew (MLS) at D.C. United (MLS) 7:30 p.m. ET *Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium; Washington, D.C.
38 Sept. 1 Chivas USA (MLS) at Seattle Sounders FC (MLS) *7:30 p.m. PT Starfire Sports Complex; Tukwila, Wash.

Strip Magazine is coming!
Recession? What recession? With the launch of CLiNT last month, and big news about something else coming soon (watch this space) the UK comics industry is livening up again, - and now here's Strip Magazine to add to the parade.
Strip Magazine is a brand new adventure comic from Lancaster based Print Media Productions that will launch early next year. Edited by John Freeman the comic is set to feature strips by PJ Holden, Michael Pennick, John Ridgway, James Hudnall, John McCrea, Phillip Hester and others.
With the permission of Egmont UK, Strip Magazine will also be including a classic reprint strip, - Hook Jaw, the dynamic and gory story of a killer shark which appeared in IPC's Action back in 1976. When Hook Jaw first appeared, it and other strips in Action gave the media an excuse for another anti-comic outcry, which sadly led to the comic being suspended for several weeks before returning in a diluted form.
Will Hook Jaw cause an outcry again, or has society moved on? Find out next year!
John Freeman will be attending the British International Comic Show next month to promote Strip Magazine at the Print Media Productions stand. That weekend will also see the launch of their Iron Moon graphic novel by Stephen Walsh and Commando artist Keith Page.
To find out more about Iron Moon and to follow the developments of Strip Magazine visit their blog at:

Thanks fr the plug, Lew. We have two humour strips in the mix, one by me (for now) and Jon Rushby (probably best known for his work on TOXIC, but he's done tons of stuff down the years) and another that I'm going to leave as a surprize. Yes, humour strips alongside adventure strips. I suppose this is what is now called 'retro', but it always worked for me!

This is going to be brilliant! Don't suppose it will have tightly-packed text stories with ornate line illustrations containing acres of cross-hatching... but you can't have everything XD.
Erk, what's happened to the name/url posting option recently? I've seen it vanish from a few places. Oh well, the link my name is supposed to go to is http://blog.crystal-knights.co.uk/!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply for Financial Aid?
A: For student Loans, Work Study, Pell, and other types of federally funded aid you must complete a FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
Do I have to reapply for financial aid each year? If so, why?
A: Yes, you have to apply for financial aid each year. You do this by renewing your FAFSA. Students must reapply for financial aid each year because financial aid eligibility is based on your income for the previous year. Therefore, because you and/or your parents/spouse's income could change from year to year, the FAFSA must be renewed to reflect these changes. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to renew your FAFSA online. *You do not have to renew GSFAPPS applications; however, if you have not completed one and wish to be considered only for the HOPE scholarship and no need-based-aid, you can apply at www.gacollege411.org.
Can I use my financial aid funds in the campus bookstore?
A: Yes, each semester there are designated days in which you can use your leftover financial aid funds to purchase books and supplies in the bookstore. Simply present your Charger card to the cashier in the bookstore and tell them you wish to apply the balance to your financial aid. You may also order books from our campus bookstore to be mailed to you using your financial aid funds. Please keep in my that the bookstore does not know how much you owe in tuition & fees. It is your responsibility to be sure that you do not overspend in the bookstore.
What does being selected for verification mean?
A: The federal processor (U.S. Department of Education) randomly selects 1 out 3 for a process called verification. Georgia Highlands College, or the institution that is attempting to process your financial aid, must compare the information you provided on your FAFSA with actual documents (i.e. Federal Tax Return Transcripts from the IRS, proper Verification Worksheets, etc.). Any conflicting information will be corrected and sent to FAFSA to process. This must be completed before eligibility for Federal Student Aid can be determined.
Why did I receive less in the Pell Grant and/or HOPE scholarship than the amount indicated on my award letter?
A: Usually this is due to the student not being enrolled full time. Both of these funds will adjust to the number of hours that the student is enrolled. The amount awarded is the MAX amount you can receive and will require the maximum credit hours allowed by that fund. The amount shown on your award letter is based on the student being enrolled full time (12 or more credit hours).
How will I be notified about the Financial Aid I will receive?
A: Your award information will be posted for you to review on your SCORE account. You will need to monitor your CHECK MY AID STATUS via SCORE. Please review the Online Award letter option in SCORE to view all awards made to your account. Please note that the awarding process is 4-6 weeks.
What happens to my financial aid if there is more than enough to cover my tuition?
A: Once all student account charges are covered (tuition, fees, books, etc) and you are showing a credit/refund due. The Business Office will issue refunds based on the preferred refund method selected at RefundSelection.com. The Business Office has 14 days to release all refunds from the date those funds were issued to your student account. If a student has paid their tuition prior to their financial aid being complete, the entire amount of financial aid will be mailed out to the student from the school to their home address. *If you are receiving a Stafford loan, make sure you take note of the lender fees deducted.*
How do I receive financial aid for the summer semester?
A: Financial aid is awarded to the student for the entire year. Therefore, the student is responsible for managing their financial aid so that they will have enough to cover summer tuition and fees. *If a student receives the Pell Grant and they were less than full time in the Fall/Spring semesters, there might be additional funds left from the total they were eligible for that can be used for the summer semester. *If a student is HOPE eligible, these funds are available each term of eligibility the student has. All students wanting to receive federal or state aid for the summer semester, MUST complete a SUMMER AID APPLICATION available on our website under FORMS. This application is typically available by March 1st.
How does a dependent student receive financial aid if their parents refuse to give them the information needed to fill out the FAFSA?
A: Federal regulations do not allow schools to award dependent student's federal aid without the FAFSA being completed and signed by both parent and student. Unfortunately, there aren't many options in this situation. Financial Aid Administrators do have the ability to grant dependency overrides in certain situations. However, it should be noted that dependency overrides are only granted in unique or extreme situations, and must be supported by acceptable documentation. Please make an appointment with a Financial Aid Counselor if you feel you could possibly qualify for a Dependency Override. Please click here to review the Federal Student Aid guidance on parent information.
What will happen if I withdraw from a class or withdraw completely from Georgia Highlands College?
A: If you drop a course(s) after drop/add but are still enrolled in at least one course, no adjustment will be made to your financial aid (which means no repayment of funds is required). If you totally withdraw from school, your aid will be adjusted based on the date of withdrawal = amount of aid earned for the term. You will be required to return the unearned portion of financial aid.
If you are receiving a student loan you must be enrolled in at least 6 hours at the time you receive your loans or it will be returned to your lender. If you fall below 6 hours after you have received your loan and remain under six hours for a period of six months you will have to begin repayment on your loan. However, if you pick back up to 6 hours or more before those 6 months, you will not have to begin repayment.
*Note, however, that withdrawing from a course can affect your academic progress (SAP) which will affect your financial aid.*
* Federal regulations require students to maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in order to receive aid. To maintain progress, students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 and pass a minimum of 67% of all coursework attempted.
What if I apply for financial aid past the deadline?
A: The Financial aid office can still process your application past the deadline but you will be expected to cover all tuition and fees upon their due date and then get reimbursed if you qualify for Financial aid.
Will my financial aid transfer from one school to the other?
A: If you transfer to another institution during an academic year you will need to add that institution's school code to your FAFSA as well as contact that institution directly for the required documents for that institution.
How long will it take for me to receive my financial aid money?
A: Students should allow approximately 4-6 weeks after the financial aid office has a complete file on them to receive their funds. Students can check on the SCORE to review the status of their financial aid as well as see if there are any outstanding requirements on their file. Students with loans can also go to https://sites.highlands.edu/financial-aid/ to check their loan status.
How is my financial need determined?
A: Applicants applying for need-based aid must submit the FAFSA. When the FAFSA is processed, the federal government calculates the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is an indication of a family's financial strength, and is a figure that a family is expected to contribute toward the cost of attendance at Georgia Highlands for that academic year. This contribution is deducted from the estimated cost of attendance, resulting in the estimate of your financial need. Please review our Application Procedures on the home page for other information regarding the process for Financial aid at GHC.
What options are available if I don't qualify for need-based aid?
A: Students whose applications result in low need or no need have several options to assist in paying for their Georgia Highlands college education. Students may wish to consider applying for a student loan or review institution scholarships available at https://www.highlands.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/.
I am a Non-U.S. Citizen, can I receive aid?
A. There are several catergories of Non-U.S. Citizens. Studentaid.gov breaksdown the different catergories of Non-U.S. Citizens and the options available at studentaid.ed.gov/eligibility/non-us-citizens. Please make sure you review your eligibitlity status.

Drupal is modular framework and content management system (CMS) and works under Lighttpd too. By default, Drupal passes path arguments to itself via its internally generated URLs. This results in URLs that look like the following: "http://www.example.com/?q=node/83." This can make URLs hard to read and it also stops many search engines, like Google, from indexing the pages with these URLs.
You can tell Drupal to use "clean URLs", eliminating the "?q=" in internal URLs. Assuming that your site hosted in rootdirectory itself, open your lighttpd.conf file or domain configuration file:
# vi lighttpd.conf
Make sure mod_rewrite is enabled:
server.modules += ( "mod_rewrite" )
Append following configuration directives:
url.rewrite-final = ( "^/system/test/(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=system/test/$1", "^/system/test-clean-url/(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=system/test-clean-url/$1", "/rss.xml$" => "/index.php?q=rss.xml", "^/search/(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=search/$1", "^/([^.?]*)\?(.*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1&$2", "^/([^.?]*)$" => "/index.php?q=$1", } # Error 404 server.error-handler-404 = "/index.php" # stop these url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc", ".engine", ".install", ".module", ".sh", "sql", ".theme", ".tpl.php", ".xtmpl", "Entries", "Repository", "Root" )
Save and close the file. Restart lighttpd, enter:
# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
Feel free to adjust rules as per your setup.

As Microsoft and Sony's digital download services evolved, and as many classic arcade games started resurfacing, X-Men remained absent. The cause of that absence was never in much doubt – Konami simply didn't own the license. While gamers across the globe were getting games like X-Men Legends from Activision, Konami was prohibited from producing – or re-releasing – a game featuring those characters. But never say companies don't listen to fans. With more and more people asking Marvel about their classic "beat 'em up," the company struck a deal between itself, Konami and Activision, paving the way for a direct port of the game to Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network. Comic book fans, your wish has been granted. This winter, prepare to face off with the evil "Master of Magnet."
Quite honestly, this is the port you've all been waiting for. All six characters are here, complete with their original moves, special moves and animation. The voice acting had to be re-recorded for this release, but Konami found extremely good likenesses, in all their cheesy glory. When the classic "Nothing moves the Blob!" line echoes in your room, it'll be like you never left the arcade. Oh, and don't worry, the ludicrous story is back, complete with the giant Sentinel that looks awesome, but never actually fights you. Back then this was surely a sore point with many gamers, but now it's downright hilarious and honestly adds to the charm of the whole thing. We wouldn't have wanted a single bit changed – and Konami certainly honored that. The graphics remain true to their sprite-based glory, seemingly untouched from 1992 – and they look great. Menus and the heads-up display at the top of the game have all been redone however.
Up to six players can play, mixing and matching online and local participants to round out a team. The one catch for Xbox 360 owners is only four people can play locally as the system will only allow four controller connections – but two more can still join over Xbox Live. As in the arcade, you can't duplicate your characters. Yes, someone does have to be Dazzler. Rounding out the online experience will be leaderboards, which ranks statistics like points scored and continues/lives used. There are unlimited continues in the game, and Konami currently doesn't plan to allow players to tweak that element of the game – you can keep playing as long as you can press the Start button. You can also skip to any level from the start menu.
Konami has included a clever twist on the conventional port by adding the option to switch over to the Japanese version of the game. Much is the same here (aside from Japanese text during cutscenes), but enemies will drop health and power items, which greatly alter the challenge of the game. Characters will also not lose health immediately when using their powers – power "orbs" are used first, then the health is drained. The reverse is true for the U.S. version, which used the orbs only after a player was low on health. The Japanese version makes a bit more sense, but again, it's a far easier game – particularly against the bosses.
It's not as though X-Men was all that challenging to begin with. Really the only limit we had when we were younger was the amount of money in our pocket. With the re-release, that "obstacle" is eliminated. But Konami has been thinking about this, and has included multiple difficulty levels that increase the number of enemies that flood the screen. Even on the toughest difficulty six players should have little trouble, but there is a certain level of manic fun that comes with the flood. Bosses don't seem to be more challenging, however.
No doubt many of you are wondering if the game features any upgrades – new costumes, enemies or levels. Unfortunately, given the added complication of Activision having the license for X-Men video games, Konami was prevented from doing anything with their port that moves beyond the original. A simple, genuine replication was all that was permitted. But who knows, if this game cleans up in the marketplace, maybe an old-school sequel can be developed in the future? Stranger things have happened in this industry. (Yeah, we're looking at you, Mega Man 9.) We've already seen what fan demand can do – this release is testament enough to that.
No price point or exact release date have been determined. Konami is aiming for December of this year, but that could slip depending on how development progresses. Based on what we saw and played of the game, which was all of it (twice) locally, the game is shaping up nicely indeed. The one key element to all of this will be the online experience, something that is still a bit of a question mark. Regardless, within the next few months, a piece of our childhood is coming back, and we're beyond thrilled.

Night Life
Iceland - Reykjavik Nightlife and Bars
As with Reykjavik the best spots to start socializing are bars and pubs, as well as some of the cafes that turn into bars after 6pm. Some of the bars listed below are attached to restaurants but you can always drink without eating.
Icelanders go out quite late so often a night might look quite slow when all of a sudden things start to kick off. On a weekend this might not happen until midnight or later. After that it will get very difficult to get into some of the hottest nightclubs. So if you are not a VIP, don't know the doorman or anyone that can get you in, you have to get in early.
Another popular option is to use nightlife guides. Nightlife guides offer a great service, no waiting in line, VIP service and even cheaper drinks, so paying a little might get you a lot. Be sure to book in advance, all the good get taken pretty quickly.
Bars and clubs stay open till 1 in the morning on weekdays but don't be surprised to party till 5 or later on weekends. Saturdays are normally bigger nights in Reykjavik but Fridays usually don't dissapoint.
Don't expect to get into a club in style-conscious Reykjavík if you turn up in full hiking gear – the dress code is generally smart. For foreigners things are more relaxed, but you'll feel more comfortable if you're smart-casual. At some places, jeans and sneakers aren't allowed. However you're kitted out, don't be surprised if you're approached and have to take on a conversation with the straight forward locals as soon as you've set foot through the door.
In Reykjavik the night usually starts out slow but around midnight most places are packed with partypeople.
Prices of drinks in Reykjavik vary but generally a pint of beer costs around 800-1000 Icelandic kr. Single vodka in soda around 1000 and double in soda around 1800 IKR. When in Iceland we recommend that you try the the great selection of Icelandic beer. On the top of the list is the Borg beer. The brewers at Egill's won several awards for their beer and as a reward the company bought them a microbrewery to "play around with". The result is the Borg beer which is normally brewed in limited supply. Do not visit Iceland without trying !

editor's name, address, phone, fax, and e-mail address.

There is no reference work like it. There has never been a service more complete or current for its area. It's guaranteed — If you're not completely delighted, we'll send your money back.

Avoid embarrassing misdirected phone calls. Know exactly who you need to contact before you pick up the phone or mail a news release. As you may know, news releases that are not addressed to a specific journalist or department often end up unopened in the trash.
The directory is worth hundreds of dollars by itself. So are its six updating newsletters. But you get both and a CD-ROM, for a price that will pay for itself in the first important news release distribution you make. Our subscribers are impressed with the detail and clarity of this unusual directory with its data base support materials.

FINDERBINDER is an easy-to-use, reliable source of continually updated, detailed news media information. Each directory system is produced in the market it covers all news media in its marketplace. The directory systems, including an electronic database and updating newsletters are compiled to provide the most comprehensive listing of news media information available.
FINDERBINDER system is committed to being the most current, accurate and detailed reference of its kind. Listings include newspapers, magazines, trade and professional publications and radio and television stations.
News Media Listing Pages
The majority of the news media are each provided with a single page, printed on one side of that page. A wide margin is provided on the left of each page for you to add changes as they occur during the year. As new publications or stations appear, you will be sent supplemental pages. If major changes occur at a medium during the year we may issue a replacement page.
You may wish to arrange your directory in some order other than alphabetical. Some of our subscribers re-arrange their directory geographically, by subject matter, or by daily, weekly and monthly publications. The loose-leaf binder format of the FINDERBINDER directory allows you this flexibility.
FINDERBINDER is designed for fast use with easy-to-read type and clearly defined sections. The three-ring vinyl binder allows you to update and add material quickly. Your binder is guaranteed against wear and breakage as long as you are a current, subscriber. If you need a replacement, just give us a call.
Each FINDERBINDER comes with six issues of an updating newsletter. FINDERBINDERs are published on a 12-month basis. People who buy the directory during the year are provided with back issues of the newsletters to allow them to bring their directory up-to-date.
This section lists publications created in or for use in each FINDERBINDER market. These publications appear in alphabetical order, with some exceptions. Information for each publication listed in the main section is divided into three parts: GENERAL, EDITORIAL and ADVERTISING.
GENERAL Information includes:
Address of the publication
(Both street address and P.O. Box number as appropriate)
Phone number or numbers Fax numbers
E-mail address and Internet domain name
Publisher's name
Type of publication, format, frequency, coverage and readership.
Day of publication provided for weeklies and dailies.
Circulation, by both paid subscribers and actual press run.
Cost of a subscription by mail
EDITORIAL Information includes:
Names of editors
Names and positions of major staff writers
Deadline for news material
Other comments as appropriate
ADVERTISING Information includes:
Name of Advertising Manager
Open rate for column inch of display advertising
Open rate for a full page of display advertising
Deadline for advertising delivery
Column width in either inches or picas
Number of columns per page
Page size in inches
Minimum classified ad size and rate
Special discounts and commissions offered
Adjudication status (see explanation below)
Many general circulation publications are adjudicated to print legal notices.
Typically to qualify for this service, a newspaper must:
• Be published at least once a week
• Have a bona fide list of paying subscribers
• Publish news of a general character
• Maintain at least 25% news content in the paper
• Have only one principal office in the district
• Have met these criteria for at least three years
• Have "substantial" subscribers in the adjudication area
Each radio and television station serving the marketplace is listed individually on its own page. Information about each station appears in this order:
Call letters and type of station (AM, FM, TV)
Street address and P.O. Box address
Telephone number , fax number, e-mail address, Internet domain name
Ownership of station
Most prevalent age and demographics of audience
Programming description
Broadcast schedule (usually 24 hours for radio)
Most prevalent age and demographics of audience
Broadcasting frequency and signal strength
Names and titles of station executives usually include:
General Manager
News Director
Assignment Editor
Program Director
Public Affairs Director
Sales Director
Times of news broadcasts
Public service announcement guidelines
(Includes preferred length of spot and format.)
Interview program and talk show programs
There is no uniform way of briefly comparing advertising rates of radio stations. Stations may designate different times of the day as being their prime advertising times. Not all define the classifications of AAA, AA and A the same way. As at least a rough guide, FINDERBINDER often lists the open rates for a one-time, 60- second spot. Television rates are even more complex and seasonal and are not listed.
At the back of each FINDERBINDER directory is an index that is divided into three sections, each alphabetically arranged. These sections are print media, radio stations and television stations.
All publications in FINDERBINDER are listed here, along with title variations by which they might be known. If, for example, the correct title for the Evening Tribune is just that, not Tribune or even Metropolitan Evening Tribune. Thus under Tribune and Metropolitan Evening Tribune in the index you will be refered to Evening Tribune in the main print media section of the book. Other print media sub-sections are referred to in the index.
All area radio stations are listed in this directory. These stations are listed by the call letters regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Some years ago the use of unofficial, promotional call-signs has become popular. You can use the Radio Station Index to determine, for example, that B-l00 is really KFMB-FM, that K-Best is actually KBZT-FM, that KM-10 is KMLO, that Rock 92 is KOWN and that FM-104 is KOZN-FM, and so on.
All area television stations, including the names of the various cable television operations in the area are listed here.
Following the index just discussed, you will find the CROSS INDEX OF PRINT MEDIA BY COMMUNITY SERVED. It is in certain respects the opposite of the coverage information provided with each community newspaper. Each geographically-oriented publication listing tells you what communities are served by that publication. The cross index tells you which publications are reporting on a specific community.
We reserve the right to present an independent, subjective evaluation of each medium considered for publication. News media are not charged for being listed in these directories, nor will they be excluded upon request. If you have any indication that we have been provided with false or misleading information, we welcome your call. New publications are usually monitored for a few months before new pages are added to the directory.
Information on each medium is gathered from the publishers, editors and other representatives.
FINDERBINDER may investigate other sources for information on media and may publish information that corrects or clarifies data from the media.
• Daily Newspapers
• Semi-Weekly Newspapers
• Weekly Newspapers
• Business Publications
• National Publications printed or produced in area
• Wire Services
• House Organs (optional)

• Military Publications in the area
• Advertisers (non-news publications) (optional)
• Magazines
• Radio Stations
• Broadcast Television Stations
• Cable Television Stations
• Columnists by subject matter (optional)
• Stringers for major media (optional)

Blog Posts and Lists
Tuesday, April 3, 2012
My fellow Americans, I wrote about this terrible law three times already, and sure enough, it's time for number four. Laugh or cry, every one of these posts told about well-intended folks who made American education worse by trying to make it better.
To recap, Part One featured twisted tales and outright lies we told kids to make them honest. Part Two explained how 70's textbook tales aimed to foster racial and gender equality by turning everyone into model citizens—everyone, that is, except for white males. Part 3 said that when American students were ranked 22nd and 27th in the world in science and math, educators started testing kids like mad and drumming rote facts into their heads in an effort to play catch up. The Unintended Consequence? A nation of bored kids poised to lose their creativity and joy of learning in the process.
So ladies and gentlemen, what new Unintended Consequences have reared their heads this time around? May I present The Technology-will-Save-Us Kitchen Sink Solution. It says that students can use high tech gadgets to find out everything they'll ever need to know, and here's how it works:
The vibe is that traditional textbooks are a thing of the past. Despite some publishers' best efforts, a lot of textbooks are bland, boring, and full of errors, and they promote politically correct agendas that obscure vital but inconvenient truths. Besides that, they're expensive, they weigh a ton, and they take up way too much space in kid's lockers.
So what's the educational wave of the future? Meet South Korea, which boasts the fastest internet speed in the world (the US is ranked 13th). Five years ago, the South Koreans decided they wanted to become the world's leaders in education, so they swapped their traditional textbooks for digital devices that incorporated all kinds of bells and whistles; high definition videos, embedded assessments, plenty of interactive features, links to a multitude of online sources, and more.
Well now we're gearing up to do the same thing big-time in the United States. In fact, Education Secretary Arne Duncan wants schools to put digital textbooks into every classroom within the next five years. Apple recently unveiled its interactive digital textbooks for high school math and science, and Discovery Education is featuring cloud-based digital textbooks for K-12 science and middle school social studies.
You can see the advantages right off the bat: Digital textbooks are cheaper than paper ones; kids won't have to break their backs carrying around a load of books (though maybe they could use the exercise); and you can find loads of material wherever there's an internet connection.
But what's the Unintended Consequence? Let's take a look at what has happened in South Korea during their grand experiment. The surprise is that they have decided to reverse course because the kids are so hooked on all the gadgets that they're often way too distracted to concentrate on a given subject. And what's worse, it's often hard to figure out what's true and what's not when you search for material online.
According to a March 25 article in The Washington Post, "At Seoul's Guil Elementary School, where fifth- and sixth-graders participate in the trial…students toggle between their digital textbook and the Internet, which they use like an encyclopedia for fact-checking and research… On this particular day, students are learning about pinhole cameras — a simple device that captures images upside-down. When teacher Lee Yeon-ji asks her 24 students how the device works, she sends them to the Internet. 'I think I found something that sounds true,' one student says."
What?? They THINK something SOUNDS true? Now there's the rub. How can students learn the facts by guessing whether or not the material they find online is accurate? If kids are deluged by an ocean of material or distracted by apps that lead them off in dozens of directions, how can they even think straight much less learn anything?
Obviously this method makes cheating easy too. Say a tenth grader has to write an essay about the Civil War, for example. He can scan a bunch of papers online and copy anything he likes. How will the teacher ever know that the report is his?
Look around; kids are already addicted to gadgets anyway. Their attention spans are getting shorter and shorter all the time, even without digital textbooks that spin off in all directions, don't round out the material in one place, and don't offer a trustworthy set of interesting facts. Already too many young people can't sit still and read a great book straight through. What will happen to their comprehension level, sense of direction, and analytical skills if they try to learn by flying through the cloud this way and that every other minute?
I'm definitely not saying that the cloud is evil and that gadgets are bad; we just have to guide the way we use such technologies in schools. Of course there are lots of great ways to learn both on and offline that don't involve books of any kind, but since books are the focus here, you know exactly where this is going, so here it comes….
What would really help the most as we go forward are fewer distracting bells and whistles and more noses in outstanding nonfiction books. More than almost any paper or digital textbook you can find, nonfiction books allow kids to read and enjoy and learn from an engaging, well-rounded, professionally vetted, totally accurate piece of work that's all in one place (and is also conveniently connected to the curriculum). Whether online or on paper, the best books can bring subject matter vividly and accurately to life. And in the bargain they can teach kids to concentrate hard and to think things all the way through.

Yay! Roz! Methinks that the powers-that-be are no longer capable of critical thinking. One point Nicholas Carr made in The Shallows, a brilliant book about the dangers of technology on thinking, is that the invention of the book promoted deep thinking--one person could develop a thesis, elaborate on it and defend it all in one place. Books allowed the human race to develop skills of focus and concentration that weaned us from our hard-wired tendency to be distracted. The lesson from this Korean experiment reveals how quickly these hard-won skills, gained from centuries of reading books, can be undone.

I'm reading Imagine. Pixar, king of all techies, uses a practice of group critiquing, fiercely trashing minute elements of ideas that lack strength, then "plussing" ideas toward possible improvements. Couldn't we put that into practice in these educational decisions? *sigh* Of course not- it's all gung ho! then Oh, No!
Thanks for a great post.

i used to love things that "sounded true" because they were so close to reality in some ways...made me feel smart to think up those "almost true" things. but wow! indeed, nonfiction needs to be proven facts and lots of research, not just wiki inputs by anyone. the spectrum of gray/grey is ever widening and I feel bad for generations to come...they might have just way too many things to choose from and nothing really secure or firm to believe in or call fact. doubting everything isn't a healthy way to live.

Thanks for these thoughtful comments, everyone. Students might be at risk of drowning in the current flood of unrelated information and colorful apps. It's as though they (and we) are flooded with a gazillion free candies - yaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!! They can eat as many as they want, but where's the beef?

Why Rate A Teacher or school (which can be maniputalted) When you can File A Teacher Complaint!

Here users can share real life experiences which help them gain leverage and solve personal problems as well as see how other schools are treating their students and how parents are dealing with each individual problem.
And finally, You'll get insight from other parents and teachers which is extremely valuable when dealing with student/teacher/parent relations. Some sites only allow you to rate a teacher or rate a school, which is fine, however, when you need real advice, you don't need some rating site, you need real advice! You need a site from real people with real incidents. Some users at those sites like rate my teacher, rate a teacher and rate a school web sites have noticed that there seems to be a slight chance of teachers actually going in and manipulating their ratings to make their popularity appear better than what it actually is; which is a bad practice. That isn't a problem here, as teachers don't want to 'post complaints' about themselves in order to prop up their reputation.
You may even choose to have your complaint submitted to the school that your filing a complaint against... This will allow the school and teacher an opportunity to respond directly to your complaint online. At the bottom of the complaint is a comment section with a drop down box, It allows "Teachers In Complaint" to post their comments and try and resolve issues regarding the complaint. Schools, Principals, parents and others are also invited to join in!
Unlike other sites out there that charge using services like, Rate My Teacher, Rate A Teacher or rate a school, TeacherComplaints.com is absolutely Free! - All we ask in return is that you share the site by telling a friend or two about the site so that they too, can enjoy the site.
