For families and students who are interested in making incremental tuition payments, payment plans are available through Tuition Management Systems. Specific questions about payment plans should be directed to NEC's Business Office.
Many students and families borrow loans to help finance their college education. We strongly recommend that borrowers take out federal loans before turning to private lenders. There are two types of federal educational loans presently available to NEC students who are US Citizens or Permanent Residents: the Federal Direct Stafford Loan (for students) and the Federal PLUS Loan (for parents or graduate students). The terms and interest rates of these loans are set and monitored by the Department of Education.
This loan is a low-interest federal loan that is made to the student. There are two types of Stafford loans: subsidized and unsubsidized.
Subsidized loans are available only to domestic undergraduates who demonstrate financial need. They are called “subsidized” because the federal government, not the student, pays the interest on these loans while the student is enrolled at least half-time and during a six-month “grace period” after the student graduates or leaves school.
Unsubsidized loans are available to domestic students regardless of financial need. They are called “unsubsidized” because students are responsible for the interest these loans accrue while the student is in school; they may choose pay the interest periodically while enrolled. Any unpaid interest will be capitalized (added to the loan’s principal) when repayment begins six months after the student graduates or leaves school.
This loan is a credit-based federal education loan available to graduate students and the parents of dependent undergraduate students. Borrowers with no adverse credit history may apply for up to the cost of education (for one academic year at a time), less any other financial aid.
A variety of private loan options are available to undergraduate and graduate students and/or their families. These loans are offered by private lenders and are usually credit-based. We strongly recommend that borrowers only use private loans as supplemental funding after exhausting all other sources of financial aid.
When researching loan options, we advise taking into consideration the loans’ interest rates as well as any origination, disbursement, and repayment fees. We are happy to answer questions or provide information as you work to identify the program(s) that best suit your family’s needs.
A list of private lenders that NEC students have used over the past three years can be found below. Please note that this list is not comprehensive and does not constitute an endorsement of any lender.

text: The main aim of this study was to explore lived experiences of unaccompanied foreign minors in South Africa from a social work perspective. An important goal was to also explore the lack of guidelines on how to assist these young people. This study was conducted in a Children's Shelter, which is situated in the North-Eastern outskirts of Polokwane, where a group of unaccompanied refugee children from Zimbabwe were living. This study was qualitative and explorative in nature. Non-probability sampling was used to select participants for the study. Ten children were selected, ranging from age 14 to 18 years. Semi-structured interviews with the children and a focus group discussion with five care workers were held. Thematic analysis was used. The findings of this study revealed that services by government social workers are limited compared to those from social workers employed with nongovernmental organisations. It is hoped that this study will assist government and other role players in planning, advocacy and policy development related to the issues affecting unaccompanied refugee children.

This release originally appears on ScuderiaCorsa.com.
Christina Nielsen and Alessandro Balzan gave a big boost to their GT-Daytona championship hopes with a third-place finish on Sunday afternoon at Road America.
On a track where they expected to struggle due to a straight-line disadvantage, Nielsen pulled off a remarkable qualifying effort of fifth place before she and Balzan drove to third place by the time the checkered flag fell. On a late-race restart, Balzan had the no. 63 Scuderia Corsa Ferrari 488 GT3 in fifth position and took advantage of two opportunities to drive onto the podium.
This was the fifth IMSA podium of the season for Scuderia Corsa, after victories at Sebring and Watkins Glen, a second-place at Laguna Seca and a third place at Detroit.
Not only did Nielsen and Balzan finish on the podium for the fifth time this season, but they finished ahead of their closest championship pursuers to grow their championship lead to 15 points.
The next race for the IMSA SportsCar Championship will be August 26-28 at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia.

The Chi. Lena Waithe’s critically acclaimed Showtime series returns for Season 2.

Kevin (Alex Hibbert) is still juggling middle school and therapy to help deal with his PTSD after his involvement in two shootings.

Ronnie (Ntare Guam Mabaho Mwine) battles alcoholism while adjusting to life in prison after confessing to murdering Brandon’s brother.

Brandon’s girlfriend Jerrika (Tiffany Boone), is part of a real estate deal that can dramatically alter the make up of the South Side.

Satan & Adam: The Music Will Take You Higher. V. Scott Balcerek directed this new documentary about an unlikely musical partnership between Sterling ‘Satan’ Magee, a southern-born guitarist and Adam Gussow, a white, younger, Ivy League educated New York suburbanite harmonica player. It traces how Magee, after stints with such greats as Ray Charles, James Brown, King Curtis, got tired of seeing how black artists got exploited and took to the streets of Harlem to play strictly for the people. A chance encounter with Gussow, a grad school drop out and part-time street performer turned into a 12 year collaboration that took from the streets of New York to stages all over the world, a cover story in Living Blues magazine and an appearance in the U2 concert film and soundtrack Rattle & Hum. The doc also covers Gussow’s efforts to reconnect with Magee, who, after suffering a nervous breakdown, stopped performing and all but disappeared, as well as their dramatic return in 2005. Though music plays a formative role , the love and mutual respect they have for each other is what really fuels the film. A doc that will move and inspire.

This exhibition is rooted in the origins of tART: the studio-visit, and draws from the idea of the Surrealist game Exquisite Corpse. The studio visit was the original building block of tART and remains as an integral part of the collective. It acts as key to the communication, success and productivity of tART and our members.
In the game Exquisite Corpse, a folded piece of paper is passed artist to artist for each to draw on, then fold and cover their work, and pass to the next artist. Unfolding the paper at the end reveals an unforeseen composition or Exquisite Corpse.
Collectively Assembled is constructed in a similar manner to the game in which each creative decision sequentially influences the next.
Over one year, a chain of scheduled studio visits built the exhibition. One member visited another’s studio and selected work for the show. The receiving member then interpreted what she felt is central to her selected work. With that concept in mind, she went on to visit another member’s studio to select work. The process continued until it circled through every member. The resulting exhibition features not only each member’s work, but also each member’s interpretation and response to another member’s choice of work, thus creating a gestalt – the show itself. We tracked the process via a blog, with each visiting member posting her selection and explanation of selection process. The blog provides an intimate view of the process of creating the show. Consideration of the subjectivity of curating is witnessed through the roles of personal and collegial dynamics within the collective.
The final installation was overseen by visiting curator, Yulia Tikhonova, who contributed to the aesthetic presentation of the show in addition to writing an an essay on tART. This was the final unfolding, the visiting curator’s presentation of the body of work selected from the studio visits.
Free coffee, donuts, cupcakes, movie & popcorn every Saturday, organized by Ann deVere. Donuts donated by local Dunkin' Donuts on Graham Avenue.
Classes by Melissa Staiger and New york Drawing School as part of public programming.
Thursday, February 28th, 7 PM - 8 PM, a studio-visit and conversation with Nina Felshin, curator and writer. Conversation participants: Nina Felshin and Katherine Keltner, organizer of the exhibition Collectively Assembled. Talk moderated by Anna Lise Jensen.

When we were getting closer to Aidalyn’s birthday party, I knew I didn’t want her to have a “typical” birthday cake loaded with processed sugar and non-nutrients. I did a lot of digging. I wanted something that was grain free but didn’t have a lot of hard to find ingredients. I found this to be easy and very tasty too! I ended up making a cream cheese frosting with just a block of cream cheese mixed some milk to make it smooth. I may have sweetened it with a touch of agave nectar. Sophie and Aidalyn seemed to approve!
I baked mine as cupcakes – seeing that we were having a “cupcake” themed party.
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on medium, then high until smooth. Pour into two well-greased 9″ pans and bake at 350 for 35 – 40 min. Once cooled, remove from the pans carefully and serve plain, with fresh jam (fruit blended with honey), fresh fruit, or however you like!
Just found out Dot has subscribed to your blog! I think I may try this for small group in a couple of weeks.
I was very surprised how good it turned out. It was lighter than you may think – cooking with wheat flour always makes for a dense cake, this was a good light consistency.
Dot said she has now subscribed to your blog!
She probably has several things she can teach me about! I feel honored to have so many readers.

Frankfurt am Main, April 24, 2012 -- The performance of the Italian residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) market remained stable in the three-month period leading up to February 2012, according to the latest indices published by Moody's Investors Service.
The 60+ day delinquencies index remained stable at 2.14% in February 2012, compared with 2.17% in February 2011. The same trend can be seen for 90+ day delinquencies, which ended in February 2012 at 1.66%, compared with 1.70% a year earlier. The overall cumulative default index rose slightly to 2.6% in February 2012 from 2.5% in November 2011, while in the same period constant default rates (CDR), which measure the annualised periodic default rates, decreased.
On February 2012 the Italian Banking Association extended further the payment holiday, which allows borrowers to prolong or suspend their loans payments up to 12 months. Overall, the payment holiday framework is credit negative for Italian structured finance transactions that contain small to medium sized enterprise (SME) loans or leases as by delaying defaults there will be less excess spread available to offset losses later when the SMEs ultimately default (for more information please refer to the Weekly Credit Outlook report published on 12 March 2012 on www.moodys.com).
The prepayment rate index continued its decline, standing at 5.26% in February 2012. This is an almost 30% drop compared with the previous year. However, it is still above the historical average.
On 17 February 2012, Moody's lowered the highest achievable structured finance rating in Italy to Aa2 from Aaa, following the downgrade of Italy's sovereign debt rating to A3 from A2.
As of February, 13 of the 124 outstanding transactions had a Reserve Fund below their target level and six of them had completely drawn their reserves, reporting an Unpaid Principal Deficiency Ledger.
In February 2012, the total outstanding pool balance of the Italian RMBS market was EUR119.5 billion, compared with EUR110.3 billion a year earlier, representing an 8% increase with 124 outstanding transactions. 24 transactions have been closed since the beginning of 2011, representing an original volume of around EUR25.5 billion.

The mechanism of injury and the position of the knee at the time of the impact typically determine the type of fracture. A number of common fracture-dislocation patterns have been described. In the treatment of these complex injuries, particular attention should be paid to the timing of operative intervention, surgical rationale, and order of treatment. Three broad categories of fractures are discussed in relation to knee dislocations: avulsion and impaction fractures commonly related to multiligamentous injury, articular or periarticular fractures and resultant soft tissue injuries, and fractures remote to knee dislocations.

Mayor's Cup, originally uploaded by ConfessionalPoet.
Spring training is complete now that the Red Sox have clinched their fourth straight Mayor's Cup over the Minnesota Twins, three-run home runs from David Ortiz and Tug Hulett providing more than enough offense to back Clay Buchholz.
A piece of athletic tape already was on the Mayor's Cup "trophy" in the Red Sox clubhouse after the game -- though whoever inscribed it accidentally wrote "2000" and had to draw a thick line through one of the zeroes to make sure it read "2010."
Such is the thrill the Mayor's Cup elicits in the Red Sox clubhouse.
Yard-sale trophy or not, the Sox would end up taking it in truly dramatic fashion, with a 16-hit, 11-run onslaught against the Twins, including a three-run jimmy jack to put the game away by the gentleman shown cradling the Mayor's crunk cup trophy above.
And hey, I'll take it. For one thing, even a tongue-in-cheek hint of real competition is welcome this time of year.
For another, given how just two years ago Clay Buchholz reminded me of a stage-frightened child in a dance recital once he'd given up a home run, watching him turn things around today after Joe Mauer bludgeoned one of his fastballs to death in the first inning was pretty gratifying as well.
In fact, Buchholz's rough start didn't end there -- though the Sox came back to tie the game in the bottom of the first, he spotted the Twins their two-run lead back right away in the top of the second.
In the third, though, Buchholz picked up his first goose egg, and the Sox bats began slapping Carl Pavano silly, thanks to a lethal V-Mart / Pedroia / Youkilis combination at the top of the order (a combined 11 for 13 today, contributing a collective 8 runs).
By the fourth inning, the Sox pulled away, 8-4, thanks to Papi's round-tripper. In the sixth, Tug Hulett and his unforgettable moniker officially began to enrich our lives, when he tacked on his own three-run blast off the second coming of El Guapo.
Meanwhile, Buchholz grew stronger and more confident as the game went on. He had surrendered four runs in six outs to start things off, but he didn't get that deer-in-the-headlights look. He stayed focused and settled, retiring the last nine hitters he faced.
MacPherson's verdict is that there was good news and bad news for Buchholz. And of course there's always small sample size, it's early yet, blah blah.
But from the new muscle he's added in the off-season to the way he regained his poise on the mound this afternoon, there's no denying that the Stickbug has grown.

Did you keep a record of every state you've been to or something? I have no idea exactly what states I've been to, but I'll give it a shot.
Looks like 19 total states. One of these days my wife and I are going to drive to California, and just take a our time going through the country.
A grand total of: 24!
There's still several I'd like to go to, but there's some I could just do without.
And the only time I've been out of the country: Montreal, twice. Don't remember much of either time though. Way too much drinking.
I will admit that Utah, I've only "been to" by stepping on the Four Corners thing, but technically, it counts.
Not much for this Canuckian.
California, Idaho, Montana & Neveda.
Drove from Vegas to L.A. on my 4 day trip. Checked out Edwards Air Force Base then off to the Universal Studios tour.
I never saw the Hollywood sign or the Pacific Ocean. Ran out of time & had to head back to a show in Vegas. We did get to see Grauman's Chinese Theatre with some well known Star Wars footprints.
Idaho & Montana was a 7 day bike trip that we put together from work.
Feel free to come for a visit Scott, beer's cold, pool is open as of June 01.
British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island & of course Alberta.
Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden & United Kingdom.
I'm from an Air Force family.
My country/province/territory list isn't nearly as impressive as the number of states I've been through.
part of it is related to my dad's job (insurance salesman) and my job. I get to go to conferences in many places in the US. Wisconsin was the most recent. This October I'll be in Ohio and plan on drifting down to Louisville, home of my favorite college basketball team.
My dad sold life insurance and one of the perks of his job was various conferences based on sales performance. Most of those Caribbean spots and lots of the US destinations are attributable to family travel. Minnesota and North Dakota relate mostly to drinking . The Western States are primarily a result of skiing.
I'd really like to see much more of the Eastern US but at this point don't have much reason to go out that way.
Aus and points in that direction are due to a little 6 month vacation.
All my European trips have been complements of the Canadian Air Force when my dad was in service. If they have an empty seat, your on your way.
My brother down east still get's me the odd free ride's.

Snomed CT Conference and Smart Healthcare Expo 2008, part 1 – Musings of a confused technology addict.
The main reason I was in London was to join the Snomed conference organized by Tim Benson from Abies .The event was quite dense, with some very interesting presentations. It was held at the same place with Smart Healthcare 2008 Expo which was a different beast on its own. Tim deserves a big “Well done”, for the content and the environment he provided. Too bad no one else from Turkey was there.
There are some many things to write, so a few parts will probably follow this. First things first: Snomed CT is a very critical piece of work, for it overlaps with many interesting domains. The conference showed this very clearly, from decision support to user interfaces, you need to make use of it. However, the strongest impression that I got from the speeches I’ve followed is: “we are in trouble”. We are not in trouble because we do not have necessary standards or methods, but we are in trouble because we simply have too many alternatives to do a particular thing given these standards.
Snomed CT is powerful, and that power can lead to (and I’m afraid it is already leading to) situations where we are pushing a particular technology beyond its core purpose. Golden hammer is nice term for the problem, where a lot of problems which should be handled by other tools are simply regarded as nails. The right level of Snomed use is a very critical question, and how to modify relevant technologies to catch that level makes this a multidimensional problem, which requires coordination among different standards bodies.
One of the presentations outlined the general view of HL7 V3 for integrating Snomed CT. HL7 V3 have always recognized the need for using existing terminologies, and there are some cases where you have the option of assigning the “modelling” responsibility for a particular medical concept to either Snomed or to the standard that is linking to Snomed. I’m not sure if this is a clear description of the problem at hand, let me try to explain it a little bit more: You can go towards an approach where you do most of the domain modelling with a standard like HL7 V3 or OpenEHR, and use a terminology only as an identifier, and a classifier for a particular “thing” contained in a wrapper artifact, like an OpenEHR archetype. When the terminology related standard has more expressive power then a simple list of things, there are now two ways to perform modelling for a particular concept; one in the terminology oriented standard, another in the container.
This kind of confusion is dangerous, and can lead to major problems in interoperability which is the primary reason why we have all these standards! There are also other aspects, like the reflection of these choices to tooling. Tooling is an often neglected (or cared less about then it should be) aspect of this domain, and we need tooling to diffuse our work in standards to actual implementations. We can not expect existing managers, doctors and even patients to emrace the learning curve of a tremendous amount of standards. Tooling is necessary to make a very large user base to adopt the work in more abstract layers, and I am not happy about the state of tooling in this particular field.
A limited set of tools are being developed for critical functionality, but when decisions like using “right amount of Snomed” are to be made, these decisions can dramatically alter tooling implementations. I for one, would be very happy to see a well designed solution in tooling to give the ability to adjust use of terminology related solutions in medical domain modelling, and that’s why Ocean Informatics is worth mentioning here.
They were one of the sponsors of the Snomed Conference, and they were as enthusiastic and helpful as usual. Now their solution for use of terminologies in Archetypes, deserves a whole post on its own, which is probably what I’ll do. The thing to say for now is: Ocean has been working hard! The terminology server was very impressive, especially considering the response time to web service calls. Snomed CT is not a small piece of data, we are talking about over 350.000 concepts here.Well, I’ll write about other aspects in following posts, but as I’ve said in the beginning: Well done Tim!. I should not miss it next year either.

I recently found the official Namco Pac-man app for Android and thought I'd give "Pac-Man + Tournaments" a whirl. I was mainly interested in how you would control Pac-man and how well this free version would match up to my memories of playing it at the arcade.
The game sets up with the board in the top 2/3 of your screen and the joystick in the bottom 1/3. A swipe of your finger controls the joystick and ultimately pac-man. It was a little awkward, but I managed to make it through 4 boards and rack up 21,960 on my first quarter...err...game. If you want to hook up with other Pac-players, registering for a free Bandai Namco ID is the way to go. Play in one free tournament daily or for a little extra cash, buy tokens to play in more tournaments. You can even post or tweet your scores and progress to your friends. I tweeted my first score last night to see what reaction I'd get.
I've gotta side with Engineernerd on this one. There are some games that just have too much arcade nostalgia that no matter how you play, it just doesn't measure up. My plug-n-play Pac-man game gives me a better experience than the Atari 2600 game but still doesn't fill the arcade void. Overall, this is a decent version of Pac-man for the free price. All the sounds and traditional gameplay are there. The swiping motions to move the joystick does take some getting used to (call my experience "beginner's luck" I guess,) but I will be keeping it on my tablet to mainly to show off to my boys and let them play.

My letters have lines going through them when I cut from WinCut 3.0 from within CorelDRAW.
Export your CorelDRAW file in an .AI (Adobe Illustrator) format with the following settings in the export options window: version 7 checked on; destination to PC checked on, and; simulate complex filled curves checked off. Doing this only once changes the default .AI export options, and in turn will make the WinCut macro perform correctly. If for any reason the settings in the CorelDRAW .AI export should change in the future, simply redo this procedure.
I connected my SummaCut via USB but the red “active connection” light next to the port won’t stay on.
Unplug USB cable from your cutter. With your computer on, place the Summa Manuals & Drivers disc into your CD drive. (If the Auto Start window displays automatically, close the window) Turn the cutter on. Then reattach the USB cable. Windows will auto-recognize the cutter and start the “Add Remove Hardware” Wizard. Just follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the plug-and-play USB installation.
Choose “Continue Anyway”. Our software has been tested internally and no Windows XP problems have yet to be reported.
How will I know if new software is available?
New versions of the software can be downloaded from the Support section of this Web site.
Why does my speed and pressure change when I send a job to the cutter?
Many sign and cutting programs can include speed and pressure settings in the plot data. That will override the current settings in the cutter. You can either disable the speed and pressure settings in your software, or simply be sure that the speed and pressure setting being sent by your software are the same as the settings you wish to use for that specific job.
MacSign needs to be registered within 30 days. Go to Softeamweb.com. First register yourself as a user. Once registered, go back to Softeamweb.com, login and register your license. Note: the licence can only be registered if your Summa Cutter originally included a MacSign Cut version. The licence will not be accepted if an invalid serialnumber is used.
Where can I find Macsign?
MacSign Cut is included with every new Summa Cutter. In case of loss or damage, go to Softeamweb.com. First register yourself as a user. Once registered, go back to Softeamweb.com, login and go to the download section where you can find MacSign Cut for Summa users. See also MacSign Registration.

EAST WENATCHEE — A Douglas County man who admitted firing a shotgun to warn a paraglider away from his Box Canyon Road property was found not guilty Thursday of unlawfully displaying a weapon.
A three-man, three-woman District Court jury found Stephen B. Flinn, 66, of Orondo, not guilty of the gross misdemeanor charge, which could have yielded up to 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine.
Flinn told Senior, then hovering 60 to 80 feet overhead, to get away from his property. Senior, an 11-year veteran paraglider, swore at Flinn and threatened to come to his home and assault him. Flinn fired another round into the air as Senior departed.
Both shots were aimed away from Senior and his paragliding canopy, which led to the misdemeanor charge of displaying a weapon rather than a felony charge of assault. Senior told deputies and testified on the stand that he heard three shots total.
The jury debated for more than an hour, at one point asking Judge Judith McCauley if they had to give a unanimous verdict.
In his summation, Flinn’s attorney, John Brangwin of Wenatchee, said other paragliders had passed over Flinn’s property that day, but sailed far higher. He called Flinn’s confrontation of Senior a defense of his property, and invoked the spectre of drones and “black helicopters” spying on citizens’ private lives.
Douglas County Deputy Prosecutor Jason Mercer said Senior’s threat was made “in the heat of the moment,” after he was alarmed by Flinn’s first gunshot and saw Flinn carrying a firearm and yelling from the ground below him.
Flinn later told deputies he’d been having problems with gliders “trespassing on his property,” according to law-enforcement reports. But Mercer noted Flinn never called deputies to complain.
“What he chose to do instead was march out of his house with a loaded shotgun and fire a shot into the air,” Mercer told the jury. It was Senior who called deputies after he landed safely at Chelan Falls.
Flinn did not face any threat from Senior or other fliers, and acted only out of irritation, Mercer said. Senior could not be reached for comment Friday morning.
Flinn’s home, built on a Columbia River bluff in 2012, lies along a popular flight path for paragliders taking off from Chelan Butte, across the river in Chelan County. The thermal drafts that rise near the cliff face allow fliers to regain altitude.
Mercer said Friday the verdict doesn’t appear to establish any “zone of privacy” involving airspace above a person’s home.

With all the broadcasters changing frequencies next week, rather than buying new jointennas and storing the old ones, we should just swap the ones we have with another member in need.
I'll start. I have a channel 24 that I won't need and luckily won't need a replacement, so whoever needs it -- wanting it isn't enough -- and is willing to pay for shipping can have it.
How good could it be if it isn't HD?
I don't own one now.
- Please don't PM with any thing that could be useful to the general group.
I've got a channel 18 I don't need any more. It's yours for the shipping cost.
Amazon.com has jointennas for 5.99 + shipping ($4.50 in my case)--a lot less than the $30 I paid to Warren electronics for my channel 18 model. Also, they seem to be in stock and shipping with little delay.
Anybody have a Channel 30?
I ordered a single channel 13 from the ChannelMaster store, and they sent me a box of 6! So I have 5 extra. Anyone need channel 13?
I need a 13, and I'm in Seattle. Please contact me via the private messages.
I'm interested in a 25 in Cary, NC.
I have none to donate (sadly...I am using 3 at this moment!) but I could use a channel 16 Jointenna.
Forget the channel 16 jointenna for me...I ordered one.
Anyone have one for channel 46? I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to be able to use it yet, just testing the water here.
Comments are my own and not that of the FCC (my employer) or anyone else.
I have been told that Jointenna discontinued channels 30-49. Good luck!
Then again, these are tunable, and with your background and equipment availability, perhaps you could purchase a channel 49 from Warren electronics and tune it yourself. Just a thought, as channels 30-49 must use the same unit and then are tuned to the desired frequency.
The UHF Jointenna tuning is primitive: one slug for the bandpass and one slug for the band reject. They are easy to tune with the proper equipment (which I have), but difficult to impossible without it.
I might be coming into an 80 foot tower, in which case I would be considering a dedicated channel 46 yagi to combine in and hope that it gets me PBS from Charlottesville. Whether or not I'm getting the tower is still up in the air (ha ha) but even if I do, I'd want to test it before going out and buying all the equipment for it.
Tin Lee sells somethng like the Jointenna, only shielded and better constructed. I think it sells for a little over $100.
My Jointennas have worked exactly as described. I have no complaints. Luckily, The stations that I have inserted with the Jointennas do not have another desireable station within 3 channels either way. I use a channel 31 Jointenna with no ill effects on channel 27 or on 36, but there is a TBN channel that is identical to channel 36 on channel 30. That channel was obliterated by the Jointenna.
If I could scrounge up a 30-49, could you retune it for me? I'm only 10 minutes away.
I could use a channel 36, I've got a channel 24 that I'm willing to let go.
Just received a Jointenna from the Amazon source. It appears to be from some old stock, which is agreeable to me as I have more faith in the vintage gear.
I am interested in a Channel 16 model.
I have an 18, will swap for 13.
I am looking for Channel 23. If anyone has one please contact me by private message.
I wonder, however, if I won't have problems as I already receive one channel on my main antenna on Ch. 25. I get an extremely small signal on Ch.25 but I'm afraid when I connect my other antenna that receives Ch. 23 that I'll block Ch. 25 also. I already have a jointenna for Ch. 48 that hasn't blocked channels 44 and 46 from my main antenna so I suspect this may work since my signals on my main antenna are strong (I am 8 miles from the Indianapolis tower farm).
I have a Channel 7 unit that I don't need. I'm looking for a Channel 35 unit.
If anyone has one, I will buy it.
I do need it to pass 27. Does anyone know what attenuation this band stop filter will create on this adacent frequency? Fortunately, its a strong signal.
The FTC must have been asleep at the wheel when the assigned the TV channels in Raleigh after the DTV transition. Its nearly impossible with UHF, VHF and another UHF for PBS coming in from the 130 degrees from the other channels.
First off - the FTC has nothing to do with TV frequency assignments - that's the FCC's job.
Second off - wait for a bit - WUNC has applied to put a channel 30 translator in the Garner antenna farm - aimed RIGHT AT RALEIGH. I don't know how much longer it will be before it is approved / working, but I know it has been applied for.
3rd - all things considered - you may not need a jointenna - just a simple combiner may work.
4th - You can thank WUNC for the mishmash of transmitter locations. I live almost exactly half way on the line between WUNC in Chapel Hill and WUNP in Roanoke Rapids, and I still have to get the Garner antenna farm as well. 1 CM4221 aimed at Garner, and a Radio Shack U75 aimed at Roanoke Rapids right now. And a VHF antenna for channel 11 / FM. Lately, I'm beginning to get a sniff of WUNC.
I've got two CH55 jointennas available... barely used. PM me if interested.
These might be useful for someone getting overloaded by a nearby Qualcomm transmitter.
do you still have CH 24 available ?

Dealing with recruitment agencies does not have to be as painful as it is for many companies. Having spoken with many frustrated business owners they generally always have their own personal horror stories. As a former internal recruitment manager, I know from personal experience that it is possible to develop strong relationships with agencies however, as the client, you must take control.
One method I know that works with great effect is to get agencies to agree to your own Code of Conduct. In this you lay down some best practice that will place you in the driving seat and ensure that if you have engaged multiple agencies, then you have some ground rules to fall back on, as and when things go wrong.
In the Code of Conduct you can set expectations in terms of what constitutes an agency having qualified the candidate, what information you wish to see as part of their summary so that you have a standard report and how you manage a situation where there is a disagreement as to which Agency represents a specific candidate. In the document you can also overcome the issue that agencies have very different rebate terms by outlining your own terms which should be fair and reasonable.
Of course agencies may choose not to agree to your code however, from experience, if the terms are reasonable then the good agencies will. If they don’t then there will be plenty of others to approach however do make sure and do your homework and choose your agencies carefully. I am also confident that reputable agencies will be happy that there are ground rules in place as they too know that not all recruiters are equal. I have a few personal examples of competing against agencies where they have submitted a candidates CV without speaking with them. Meanwhile I spend time fully qualifying them in terms of skills, experience, culture fits etc. and guess what, the company (who have felt obliged to accept the other agencies terms) have their hands tied to accept the candidate from them.
Creating your own ground rules can be time consuming however I assure you it will be time well spent. To help you with the process I have ‘one I made earlier’ which I am more than happy to share with companies that wish to reduce the risk of dealing with agencies.
I am also happy to speak with any companies that have questions regarding best practice when engaging with agencies. Having worked on both side of the fence, I have significant experience which I hope will be useful.
I am passionate and committed to reducing recruitment horror stories so let’s work together to raise the bar, one Code of Conduct at a time!

A ninety minute drive north-west of Johannesburg takes you to the Magaliesberg mountains, an area of great scenic beauty with superb rock formations, waterfalls, streams and masses of unique indigenous vegetation. Gauteng has several spectacular botanical gardens, bird sanctuaries and nature reserves and a veritable treasure trove of archaeological, paleontological and geological sites.
Visit Mrs Ples (distant relative of Homo sapiens) at the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage Site, and the Wonder Caves with their impressive display of live stalagmites and stalactites. Drive to the Tswaing Meteorite Impact Crater, one of the youngest and best-preserved meteorite impact craters in the world where over 200 000 years ago a meteor travelling at 80 000km an hour crashed into the earth just north of present-day Pretoria with a force estimated to equal 65 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs.
See wildlife close up at the Lion and Rhino Park just outside of Johannesburg or visit the De Wildt Cheetah Research Station on the way to the scenic Hartbeespoort Dam.

I couldn’t sleep last night. I found myself praying for our army with hot tears, again. Not two weeks ago, the US and coalition bombed a military position in Deir Ezzor. Eighty-three of our soldiers were massacred. US said it was “accident.” Maybe you heard of Deir Ezzor because of this “accident.” Deir Ezzor has been under siege of your moderates for a long time. On 16 January 2016, those moderates slaughtered 300 Syrian civilians there.
Two days ago what your leaders call “moderate opposition” fired new GRAD rockets at our soldiers trying to rescue our civilians at al Handarat. They were going to launch it against our people on the coast, in Aleppo, and in Hama.
More than five years, to now, every day we welcome martyrs and injured soldiers. I ask myself how brave those men in our SAA [Syrian Arab Army. Conscription in Syria is mandatory for men. Many women volunteer], to give their souls and sacrifice their lives to protect us. They lose their blood. Some lose a hand or a leg or both because of the sophisticated weapons the “moderate rebels” have, have been given by your countries.
One ironic point is that many of these ‘moderates’ (mostly non Syrians to start with) are fighting in areas which have oil resources, like al Shaer field in Homs. Do you know of the massacres of Syrian workers there? On 16 July 2014, ‘moderates’ began with suicide attacks. Coordinated assaults on check points massacred more than 200 of our soldiers. More than 300 of our volunteer National Defense Force were slaughtered [NDF consist of part-time reservists who function under the direction of the SAA]. Civilian workers were kidnapped and later found executed, in the desert.
Don’t let the media fool you by the name ISIS. The same sites which were controlled by the so called moderate rebels are now controlled by ISIS. Regrouping and renaming gives the US its pretext to support “moderates” and pretend the “moderate” fight ISIS. However they are all one, whether called FSA or Jahbat al Nusra or ISIS or any of the very long list. Which ever name, in Raqqa, in Homs, al Shaer, they murder us, they kill our soldiers, they destroy our infrastructure, they steal our oil and sell it to Turkey and Israel.
If you think there was ever a peaceful revolution, how would you explain their slogan in March 2011 the date of this bloody revolution: Alawites to grave and Christians to Beirut! Can you see any thing but killing and displacement in this slogan? Can you hear any word about democracy or freedom in the slogan to exterminate one Syrian minority and force expulsion of another?
They started by massacring Syrian soldiers in Jisr al Shoghour, then civilians there. They massacred men in Latakia countryside, under orders of the Syrian rebel who was actually the Qatar FSA prince. They massacred mostly elderly men. They younger men were in the military. They kidnapped the women and their children. Qatar’s al Jazeera then made these women lie that their were cowards who ran away, abandoned them. They forced them to lie that they — kidnapped, imprisoned — were treated well by these FSA moderates who murdered and kidnapped.
Those you call “moderate” treated their victims so well that they murdered the kidnapped children and used their bodies to accuse our soldiers and government of the chemical attack in al Ghouta in Damascus countryside in August 2013. Your media accused our army! Your governments almost bombed us because of these lies.
Do you really believe that Qatar has spent more than 3 billion dollars to harm us because they want us to have democracy? Or do you imagine they want our country for their pipeline?
Now the news is that FSA has new Grad missiles from foreign countries [now identified as from Bulgaria]. And that was by the Arab Gulf money. The FSA threatens to use these weapons to kill us, to kill our soldiers, again in our Coast, in Aleppo, in Hama.
Do those in the UN Security Council care? Our ambassador [who has been restricted by the State Department to 25mi/ 40km from the UN] declared that the UN is not a place for security or peace but it is a place for destruction and terrorism.
For our people, we have lost any faith in the West. Your leaders and councils ignore how Syrian children and students are killed by “moderates.” Do you know that 82 students were martyred at Aleppo University 15 January 2013? That 20 architecture students were blown up at Damascus University 8 March 2013? Your ‘moderates’ did this to us.
You are not told about the every day atrocities committed against us. But you all recognize the drowned baby Aylan Kurdi. Do you know he was living with his family in Turkey not Syria? Do you know they left Turkey to go to the EU, that his father was the captain of this death boat? Other children were drowned, too. An Iraqi mother had two children drown in that sea from the overcrowded boat. She paid $10,000 to Aylan’s father, the death captain.
The world cares for the kid Omran, a boy lives in terrorists strongholds and he seems to be fine in red ambulance with some dust. His photograph is famous but why don’t you know the man who took the photograph is friends with the monsters who cut off the head of 12 year old Abdullah Issa.
The world can’t see Yemen kids under Saudi bombs.. under cluster bombs… the world can’t see our kids after every suicide bombing. We have faith in our army who has been bombed twice by the US coalition — accidentally!
This is the Coalition that never bombed convoy of ISIS even accidentally, but that bombs our infrastructure, our soldiers, our civilians.
This is the coalition that allowed “ISIS” convoys to move confidently through the desert from Iraq into Syria under the watchful eyes of the USA.
Why do you accept the war crimes against us? Why do you accept the lies about us?
I have been writing letters to my government since 2013.
Dear Afraa, please do not blame we the American people for what evil Obama and his minions have done to your country. We have watched in horror as he allowed the bad guys to take over. We have watched in horror as your President used chemical weapons and our President DID NOTHING about it. Your leader is to blame more than anyone else. So please don’t just lay all this blame on us. You also need to look to the Russians for many of your troubles. At any rate we are very sorry for the poor leadership we voted in with Obama who has been the worst president America has ever suffered under. I am truly apologetic for what he has done to your country by not helping the good guys. We just don’t know who the good guys really are anymore. Obama also is bringing in many of you to our country and we are scared because we know that among them are ISIS guys but Obama doesn’t care. He is only interested in his personal legacy even thought its almost all failures. GOD BLESS YOU.. and remember Christ is the only way to reach the Father. Not Mohammed who was a mere man that spread a cult that has taken in billions down thru time with lies.. and rejected the Son of God, Jesus. Only when you all turn back to Christ will you find your land healed. God warned about such as mohammmed being false teachers from the Devil. Get your Bibles and read of the crucifixion of Christ who died for all our sins.. only thru him can we be saved. Only thru him can your country be healed.
Libya, and attempted *final solution* against Syria, has been bipartisan. Illegal alien Republican McQaeda McCain slithered into Syria to meet with takfiri — including al Baghdadi — with the approval of Dem POTUS).
Syrian President Dr. al Assad *never* used chemical weapons against Syrians. The first CW event was against Khan al Asal. Weapons grade chlorine was used by your ‘good guys,’ the FSA, to murder more than 20 Syrians. The SAR immediately requested an investigation by the UN, a plea that was ignored.
Your sacrilegious remarks show a profound ignorance of Islam (secular Syria, btw, is 90% Muslim, as secular Italy is 96% Roman Catholic). Issa (Jesus, who was born in Greater Syria) is revered as one of Islam’s prophets. There is an entire chapter of the holy Quran about Mary. The remains of John the Baptist (Prophet Yayha) is housed in the Umayyad Mosque.
As for the refugees you fear, please know that Syrians make up less than 20% of the world’s external refugees. More than 8 million Syrians are internally displaced persons, preferring to move to safer areas of their homeland, than to flee their country.
If you aspire to this, you require much in the way of redemption..
Sharon, perhaps you should re-read this article in which Ms. Dagher pleads with the west to not believe the propaganda reported against her country.
Your remark about Obama neglects to acknowledge he is the outgrowth of the Bush/Cheneyac regime, which destroyed Iraq (with the support of Democrats). Likewise, the obliteration of Libya, and attempted *final solution* against Syria, has been bipartisan. Illegal alien Republican McQaeda McCain slithered into Syria to meet with takfiri — including al Baghdadi — with the approval of Dem POTUS.
You teach and export democracy: that democracy rests and vests power in the people! if it is so that with democracy the power in America is with the people it then follows that you Americans placed the Obamas where they are! Now, as you purport, that the Obamas have gone contrary to you views and wishes, use the power resting and vested in you to stop them right in their track! Otherwise whatever they do Americans do, so also, whatever the decline to do the Americans decline unless you’re now saying all the rhetoric on democracy you have been teaching and exporting is and has been nothing but RUSE!
Democracy in the US is an illusion, so is free press and accurate news reporting.
from us westerners than you think.
Many, many Americans are very angry with our government and cry all the time at the thought of our Syrian sisters and brothers being murdered by our government. We march and protest, even though we get arrested. The government arrests activists regularly and hold political prisoners for leaders who don’t sell out. There are many political prisoners like Mumia Abu Jamal, Leonard Peltier, Oscar Lopez, the MOVE 9, Asatta Shakur, Chelsea Manning and many more. Also many former members of the Black Panther Party going on 40+ year long sentences! All these political prisoners have worked and taught against foreign wars, attacked structures of death and zionism. The U.S. holds more people in prison that in any country in the world, that is the main reason stopping revolution here. Thank you for your extremely well written letter, it will be very helpful to distribute among feminists groups here who believe President Assad started the war by firing on unarmed protestors (what the U.S. govt lies about all the time) and how they can’t call themselves feminist and support killing Syrian sisters. Much love and solidarity.

Our smile establishes an instant, subliminal, visual impact on people we come across. A brighter smile creates the impression of vitality, youth, warmth, happiness and radiant health. In fact, we can only be said to have a healthy smile, when we present a bright smile. As we age, the hair on our head turns gray or white while our teeth begin to turn yellow. Some of us in County Durham may even prefer to give anything to have the process work in reverse.
Teeth whitening in County Durham involves the process of bleaching the teeth to make them lighter in shade. Dental hygiene habits, dietary preferences, age, and time are major players in our teeth discoloration. For instance, the brightness of our teeth can be greatly impacted by excessive consumption of beverages like red wine and coffee. In some cases, the shine on our teeth can be dimmed due to long-term use of some medication.
Although our dentists in County Durham are the people in the best position to advise us, however, tooth discoloration is the main reason why we need teeth whitening. Bleaching will help to mask a range of discoloration including root canal problems, decay, and abscessed teeth.

Serbia's senior side are not having the best of times but the sight of thousands in Belgrade celebrating their FIFA U-20 World Cup success suggests the future is bright.
The sporting dream goes on for Serbia: Novak Djoković's success in tennis, titles in basketball, handball, water polo and volleyball. Yet football has always been No1 in the country so the fact that Serbia has now added FIFA U-20 World Cup winners to that list is a huge step.
It all started in 2013 with the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Lithuania where Serbia won their first title as an independent country. Even if we look more broadly at the history of Yugoslavia, that big country only won three international football tournaments: the Olympics in 1960, the first UEFA U23 European Championship in 1978 and the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 1987.
The likes of Aleksandar Mitrović and Predrag Rajković moved into the senior set-up after 2013 but new players emerged and Serbia – by now under Veljko Paunović – made a decent fist of their U19 title defence last summer. They were unfortunate to have their path blocked by a semi-final penalty shoot-out.
Paunović kept the team together and set a new goal: to become world champions. "We must be the best even when it is hardest," he said. "God always gives the hardest job to his best students. We are ready for our mission." They sure were. On Saturday in Auckland, a country of eight million people won in extra time against mighty Brazil – population: 200 million.
May the good times roll. Serbia face the Czech Republic on Saturday evening at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, with a semi-final spot and a place at next summer's Olympics the minimum requirement. It has been a challenging period, with UEFA EURO 2016 qualifiers, the U21s and U-20 World Cup running simultaneously.
The senior side have struggled to match their younger counterparts' success of late. A team including Branislav Ivanović, Nemanja Matić and Aleksandar Kolarov are bottom of UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group I after mustering one point from five games, with hopes of a trip to France next summer fading fast. Better times surely lie ahead.
Serbia's greatest weapon has always been collective spirit but over the next few years the names of Sergej Milinković-Savić, Nemanja Maksimović, Andrija Živković and Predrag Rajković will become known throughout Europe. They are already known in their homeland, with seemingly half of Belgrade taking to the capital's streets.
The celebrations have just started and on Monday it will be the main event. Belgrade's city hall has staged many triumphant sporting homecomings over the years but footballers have never before graced its terrace. That is about to change – Serbian football already has.
Serbia coach Mladen Dodić said his team have "an additional obligation" to succeed in the Czech Republic following their counterparts' FIFA U-20 World Cup triumph in New Zealand.
Nemanja Maksimović's 117th-minute strike earned Serbia a famous 2-1 win in Auckland as they ended Brazil's record unbeaten run to lift the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The Sierra Madre Oriental, where many of the Otomi embroiderers that we work with live, is a mountain range in north eastern Mexico. Part of the American Cordillera, a chain of almost continuous mountain ranges that traverse North America, Central America, South America and Antarctica, it spans 1000 kilometres from the Rio Grande, on the border between Coahuila and Texas, to northern Puebla. The area has an abundant biodiversity, from the dry north to the wetter south, with a large number of endemic species of flora and fauna, including the Mexican chickadee, Montezuma quail, Strickland's woodpecker, Zone-tailed hawk and several species of jay.
