The Tallaricos appeal several decisions which the district court made regarding their discrimination action against Trans World Airlines, Inc. (TWA) under the Air Carriers Access Act (ACAA or Act), 49 U.S.C.App. Sec. 1374(c) (Supp. IV 1986). TWA cross-appeals claiming that there is no private cause of action under the ACAA. We affirm in part and reverse in part.

I. Background

Polly Tallarico, who is fourteen years old, has cerebral palsy which impedes her ability to walk and talk. She generally uses a wheelchair, but is able to move about on her own by crawling. Although Polly is able to speak only short words, she is able to hear and understand the spoken word. She communicates by use of a variety of communication devices such as a communication board, a memo writer and a "Minispeak."

On November 25, 1986, the day before the Thanksgiving holiday, Polly arrived at Houston's Hobby Airport intending to fly to St. Louis, Missouri, unaccompanied. When the TWA ticket agent, Richard Wattleton, learned that Polly intended to fly alone he contacted Lynn Prothero, acting TWA station manager, and asked for directions as to how he should handle the situation. Wattleton had learned from the limousine driver assisting Polly that she could not speak or walk. Wattleton relayed this information to Prothero and also informed her that Polly could communicate by use of a communication board. From this information, Prothero determined that Polly would not be allowed to fly unaccompanied and informed Wattleton of her decision. This decision was apparently made on the basis of Prothero's conclusion that Polly could not take care of herself in an emergency and could not exit the plane expeditiously. As a result of this decision, Polly's father had to fly to Houston to accompany Polly to St. Louis.

The Tallaricos brought suit alleging that TWA violated the ACAA by denying Polly the right to board the plane because of her physical handicaps. The jury found for the Tallaricos awarding damages in the amount of $80,000. The district court entered judgment notwithstanding the verdict on the issue of damages reducing the award to $1,350 which is equivalent to the Tallaricos' actual out-of-pocket expenses.

II. Discussion

A. Private cause of action

Logic dictates that we begin with TWA's cross-appeal in which TWA contends that the ACAA does not provide for a private cause of action. The Act states that "[n]o air carrier may discriminate against any otherwise qualified handicapped individual, by reason of such handicap, in the provision of air transportation." 49 U.S.C.App. Sec. 1374(c)(1) (Supp. IV 1986). The ACAA does not expressly provide for a cause of action to enable private citizens to seek a remedy for a violation of the Act. Consequently, we must determine if a private cause of action is implied under the ACAA. Cort v. Ash, 422 U.S. 66 (1975), states that four factors are relevant in making such a determination.

First, is the plaintiff 'one of the class for whose especial benefit the statute was enacted,' that is, does the statute create a federal right in favor of the plaintiff? Second, is there any indication of legislative intent, explicit or implicit, either to create such a remedy or to deny one? Third, is it consistent with the underlying purposes of the legislative scheme to imply such a remedy for the plaintiff? And finally, is the cause of action one traditionally relegated to state law, in an area basically the concern of the States, so that it would be inappropriate to infer a cause of action based solely on federal law?

Id. at 78 (citations omitted) (emphasis in original).

The district court concluded, using the analysis of Cort v. Ash, that the ACAA does imply a private cause of action. The court determined, first, that "Polly, as a handicapped individual, is a member of the class of persons for whose especial benefit the Air Carrier Access Act was enacted." Tallarico v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 693 F.Supp. 785, 788 (E.D.Mo.1988). Although the court found "no explicit indication in the legislative history of the Act that Congress intended either to create or to deny implied private rights to enforce the Act," the court stated that it believed "that the circumstances surrounding the enactment of the Act provide[d] an implicit indication that Congress did intend to create a private cause of action for handicapped individuals who are injured when they are discriminated against by air carriers." Id. The court found no "inconsistency with the underlying purposes of the legislative scheme, namely to prevent discrimination against handicapped persons by air carriers, to imply a remedy to handicapped persons for perceived violations of the Act." Id. at 789. And finally the court determined that "discrimination against handicapped persons by air carriers is not an area of law basically the concern of the states." Id.

TWA claims that Polly is not an intended beneficiary of the ACAA because the Act is intended to benefit only "otherwise qualified handicapped individuals." Because we find that Polly is an otherwise qualified handicapped individual, we do not need to decide whether the ACAA was intended to benefit handicapped persons who are not otherwise qualified.

No definition of otherwise qualified handicapped individual is given in the Act. Although the ACAA requires the Secretary of Transportation "to promulgate regulations to ensure nondiscriminatory treatment of qualified handicapped individuals," no regulations were in effect at the time of the incident. S.Rep. No. 99-400, 99th Cong., 2d Sess. 4, reprinted in 1986 U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News 2328, 2332. However, the legislative history of the Act states that the definition of otherwise qualified handicapped individual is intended to be consistent with the Department of Transportation's definition in 14 C.F.R. Sec. 382.3(c) (1988). Id. at 4, reprinted in 1986 U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News at 2332. Section 382.3(c) defines a "qualified handicapped person" as a handicapped individual (1) who tenders payment for air transportation, (2) whose carriage will not violate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, and (3) who is willing and able to comply with reasonable safety requests of the airline personnel or, if unable to comply, who is accompanied by a responsible adult passenger who can ensure compliance with such a request. 14 C.F.R. Sec. 382.3(c) (1988). An instruction based upon section 382.3(c) was given to the jury which instruction required the jury to find that Polly was an otherwise qualified handicapped individual before it could allow her to recover. Although the jury obviously determined that Polly was an otherwise qualified handicapped individual, the district court stated in its memorandum that had it been the trier of fact, it would have concluded differently.

We agree with the jury's conclusion and hold that Polly is an otherwise qualified handicapped individual within the meaning of the ACAA. The evidence at trial showed that Polly had tendered payment for air transportation, that her carriage would not violate any FAA regulations (in fact she had flown alone before), and that she was capable of complying with the reasonable safety requests of airline personnel. The evidence demonstrated that Polly is able to crawl on her knees or her hands and knees, that she has normal intelligence, and that she is capable of communicating her needs. Polly has a variety of ways of communicating including the use of communication boards which contain the letters of the alphabet and some short phrases; a memo writer, an electronic typewriter-like device; and a "Minispeak," a portable computer with an electronic voice attached. Polly is able to fasten her own seatbelt as well as put on an oxygen mask. In addition, Polly's mother testified that she was confident that Polly could crawl to the bathroom (and, presumably, an exit) on the plane if necessary. From this evidence we conclude, as did the jury, that Polly is an otherwise qualified handicapped individual and, consequently, one of the class for whose especial benefit the ACAA was enacted.

The second factor under Cort v. Ash, is whether there is any indication of legislative intent to create such a remedy or to deny one. As the district court noted, the ACAA was enacted in response to the Supreme Court ruling in United States Dep't of Transp. v. Paralyzed Veterans of America, 477 U.S. 597, 106 S.Ct. 2705, 91 L.Ed.2d 494 (1986) (PVA ), which case held that section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 applies only to those commercial airlines receiving direct federal subsidies. S.Rep. No. 99-400 at 1-2, reprinted in 1986 U.S.Code Cong. & Admin.News at 2329. Congress felt that "the practical effect of [PVA was] to leave handicapped air travelers subject to the possibility of discriminatory, inconsistent and unpredictable treatment on the part of air carriers." Id. Consequently, Congress amended the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to specifically prohibit discrimination against otherwise qualified handicapped individuals. Relying on this portion of the legislative history and the fact that the ACAA is patterned after the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which Act has been held to imply a private cause of action, the district court concluded that "Congress implicitly intended that handicapped persons would have an implied private cause of action to remedy perceived violations of the [ACAA]." Tallarico, 693 F.Supp. at 789. We agree.

We also agree with the district court's conclusions concerning the third and fourth factors of Cort v. Ash. We believe that to allow a private cause of action is consistent with the underlying purposes of the ACAA. In addition, we conclude that the area of discrimination against handicapped persons by air carriers is not an area which is basically the concern of the states. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's decision that the ACAA impliedly provides a private cause of action.

B. Damages for emotional injuries

The jury awarded the Tallaricos $80,000. The district court then granted judgment n.o.v. in favor of TWA as to $78,650 of the damages award. The court concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support the total award and that as a matter of law, the award was not sustainable. The court determined that $1,350 of the award was compensation for out-of-pocket damages as a result of TWA's refusal to allow Polly to board and the remainder was damages for emotional distress. The court held that because the ACAA is an anti-discrimination statute, "as a matter of law, emotional distress damages are not recoverable for violations of the Act." Tallarico, 693 F.Supp. at 790-91 (citations omitted). In reaching this conclusion, the court relied upon cases under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 2000e et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 621 et seq., and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 706 et seq. which did not allow emotional distress damages for violations of the acts. Muldrew v. Anheuser-Busch, Inc., 728 F.2d 989, 992 n. 2 (8th Cir.1984) (Title VII); Fiedler v. Indianhead Truck Line, Inc., 670 F.2d 806, 810 n. 3 (8th Cir.1982) (ADEA); Bradford v. Iron County C-4 School District, 37 Empl. Prac. Dec. (CCH) p 35,404 (E.D.Mo. June 13, 1984) (Rehabilitation Act).

The Tallaricos argue that these cases should not have been relied upon by the court in making its determination as to whether emotional distress damages are allowable under the ACAA because each of the acts, Title VII, the ADEA, and the Rehabilitation Act, specifically provide a complete remedial scheme for violations. As the Tallaricos note, where a statute provides a specific remedial scheme, it is evidence that any other remedies are excluded. See Bailey v. Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, 788 F.2d 498, 500 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 915, 107 S.Ct. 317, 93 L.Ed.2d 290 (1986). Because the ACAA does not provide a remedial scheme, evidence of a Congressional intent to exclude emotional distress damages does not exist.

Further, the district court's conclusion that all antidiscrimination statutes disallow emotional distress damages is incorrect. The Supreme Court has held that damages for mental and emotional distress are compensable under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 (1982). Carey v. Piphus, 435 U.S. 247, 263-64, 98 S.Ct. 1042, 1052-53, 55 L.Ed.2d 252 (1978). In addition, damages for mental distress are allowed under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1982 (1982) and the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 3601 et seq. (1982). See Seaton v. Sky Realty Co., 491 F.2d 634 (7th Cir.1974); Stewart v. Furton, 774 F.2d 706 (6th Cir.1985); Phillips v. Hunter Trails Community Ass'n, 685 F.2d 184 (7th Cir.1982). We believe that the purpose and operation of the ACAA are more closely analogous to section 1983 than to Title VII, the ADEA and the Rehabilitation Act. Consequently, we conclude that emotional distress damages are allowable under the ACAA.

The district court also held that there was no evidentiary basis for that portion of the award which exceeded the Tallaricos' out-of-pocket expenses. We disagree. "Because of the difficulty of evaluating * * * emotional injuries * * *, courts do not demand precise proof to support a reasonable award of damages for such injuries." Block v. R.H. Macy & Co., 712 F.2d 1241, 1245 (8th Cir.1983) (citations omitted). The Supreme Court in Carey stated that although the award "must be supported by competent evidence," injury in the form of mental suffering or emotional anguish "may be evidenced by one's conduct and observed by others." Carey, 435 U.S. at 264 n. 20, 98 S.Ct. at 1052 n. 20, In addition, the Seventh Circuit held in Seaton, 491 F.2d at 636, that "[h]umiliation can be inferred from the circumstances as well as established by the testimony."

In this case the proof of the emotional distress which Polly suffered after TWA denied her boarding came from the testimony of her mother, her father, the assistant director for Polly's school and the driver who was with Polly when the incident occurred. Theodore Sherwood, the driver who took Polly to the airport, testified that Polly was with him when he was told she would not be allowed to board the aircraft. Transcript, vol. 1 at 167. He stated he noticed that Polly was getting disturbed as she listened to his conversations with TWA employees. Id. Sherwood also testified that he felt it necessary to call Polly's school to see if someone there could talk to Polly and calm her down because after the incident she was crying and upset about what had happened. Id. at 170. Polly's father estified that Polly was very angry and upset about the incident. Transcript, vol. 2 at 111. In addition, he stated that since the incident Polly has seemed more withdrawn, quiet and reserved. Id. at 112. Polly's mother also testified that Polly was upset about what happened and that Polly was anxious about the situation and concerned about having to fly back to Houston after the Thanksgiving holiday. Transcript, vol. 1 at 29. Susan Oldham, the assistant director of Polly's school, testified that prior to the incident Polly was very outgoing and socialized well with the other students. Transcript, vol. 2 at 150. After the incident, Ms. Oldham testified, Polly seemed more withdrawn and would spend large amounts of time by herself in her room after school was over. Id. at 156. Ms. Oldham stated that when she asked Polly if something about her trip home had upset her, Polly replied that what had happened had made her feel badly and had hurt her feelings. Id. at 157.

We find that sufficient evidence was presented to support the jury's award of $80,000. Consequently, we reverse the district court's judgment n.o.v.

C. Punitive damages

At the close of the Tallaricos' evidence, the district court granted TWA's motion for a directed verdict on the issue of punitive damages. The Tallaricos assert that the court erred in granting TWA's motion because the evidence adduced by the Tallaricos was sufficient to make a prima facie case that TWA acted in such a manner as to warrant granting punitive damages. Punitive damages are awarded where the "defendant exhibits oppression, malice, gross negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, or reckless disregard" for the rights of the plaintiff. Garza v. City of Omaha, 814 F.2d 553, 556 (8th Cir.1987). A trial court should grant a motion for a directed verdict only if all the evidence points one way and is susceptible of no reasonable inference sustaining a finding of such behavior on the part of TWA. Mississippi Lofts, Inc. v. Lexington Ins. Co., 841 F.2d 251, 253 (8th Cir.1988). We apply the same standard as the trial court in considering such a motion. Brown v. Missouri Pac. R.R., 703 F.2d 1050, 1052 (8th Cir.1983).

The district court did not question whether punitive damages are allowed under the ACAA but instead merely concluded that there was insufficient evidence to submit the question to the jury. We agree with the district court that the Tallaricos failed to present sufficient evidence to support an award of punitive damages and similarly do not reach the question of whether punitive damages would be allowed under the ACAA.

D. Exclusion of statements made after the denial of boarding

Following the Thanksgiving holiday, Mrs. Tallarico and Polly flew back to Houston. While at the Houston airport, Mrs. Tallarico, Polly and Mr. Sherwood, the limousine driver, spoke with two TWA employees who, at that time, made derogatory remarks about Polly and the earlier incident. The Tallaricos attempted to offer these statements as evidence of TWA's motive in denying Polly the right to board. The Tallaricos contend that the statements were admissible under Fed.R.Evid. 801(d)(2)(D) as an admission against interest or under Fed.R.Evid. 803(3) as statements of TWA's intent or motive. In the alternative, the Tallaricos contend that the statements were not offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted and, therefore, were not hearsay.

The district court did not allow these statements into evidence, concluding that the statements were not admissable under Fed.R.Evid. 801(d)(2)(D) because the statements were not binding upon TWA. The court noted that the persons who made the statements were non-management employees of TWA and were not involved in the decision of TWA not to allow Polly to board. The court also determined that the statements were inadmissable because they were irrelevant to the issues presented in the lawsuit. The court stated that it did not "believe that the events of December 2nd relate to--either through the claim for animus or motive or intent, whatever the Plaintiff--whichever one or all the Plaintiff might be submitting them on with regard to the punitive damages, et cetera. I think they are too remote in time. I think they are another incident." Transcript, vol. 2 at 187. The court also stated that it believed that the evidence would be "highly inflammatory." Id.

"A trial court's ruling concerning the admissibility of evidence can be reversed only upon showing that a clear abuse of discretion has occurred." Hoover v. Thompson, 787 F.2d 449, 450 (8th Cir.1986) (citations omitted). We find no such abuse here. Even assuming that the statements were properly admissable, the exclusion was harmless error.

E. Exclusion of the testimony of the expert witness

At trial, the court excluded the testimony of the Tallaricos' expert witness. The witness, who was a psychologist, was to testify concerning the emotional injuries Polly received as a result of the denial of boarding. The court refused to allow the witness to testify "because plaintiffs did not include the psychologist in their pre-trial witness list and because permitting plaintiffs to call the psychologist as a witness would have prejudiced TWA." Tallarico, 693 F.Supp. at 791 n. **.

The Tallaricos first assert that the expert was designated in their pre-trial witness list. Furthermore the Tallaricos allege that because the parties were still conducting discovery up to the time of trial, the parties had stipulated that they would waive the requirements of Local Rule 33 of the Rules of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Local Rule 33 requires that parties make their expert witnesses available for deposition by the opposing party at least 45 days prior to trial. The Tallaricos did not make this witness available to TWA until after the trial had begun.

The district court is allowed wide discretion in determining the admission or refusal of expert testimony. Grogan v. Garner, 806 F.2d 829, 837 (8th Cir.1986). We find no error in the court's decision to exclude this expert testimony from trial. We agree with the district court that the Tallaricos should have made this witness available to TWA before the day preceding her testimony.

III. Conclusion

We have considered the Tallaricos' other assignments of error including the decision of the court to disallow the cost of copies of depositions as a reimbursable cost of the Tallaricos and find no error. For the foregoing reasons the judgment of the district court is affirmed in part and reversed in part.

The Plymouth Voyager. A 1995 model. Three rows of seats, a 3-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, and an inline-four churning out a nice, round 100 horsepower. The lower end member of the trifecta of Chrysler minivans, the Voyager was never intended to turn heads. Unexciting and forgettable by design, with no sporting pretensions, this Corolla of minivans was like a faithful butler. It did its job, stayed in the background, and didn’t speak unless it was spoken to. You could load it up with your six kids, their junk, and your three Dobermans, and the Chrysler minivan wouldn’t bat an eyelash. It simply took you where you needed to go. And yet, here I am, 18 years later, fondly remembering the blandest of vans in the blandest of vehicle categories, a car I have never even driven. Where the hell does that come from?

I read an interesting Oppo article by a certain Automatch- the Avanthusiast this morning. This work was refreshing, as it bravely questioned the pervasive wagon lust which haunts the automotive blogosphere. From the Hooniverse on the cultural enthusiast end of the continuum to Autoblog on the industry news extreme, everyone feels the need to point out their affinity for the long roofed variants of more typical sedans. The shaggin wagon, you might think, has never enjoyed more popularity in the American car market. There must be a vast abundance of wagons on the market, if they are so popular. What’s that? Nobody buys wagons?

It’s not just an inane adage. Americans do not buy wagons. It’s gotten to the point where thinks a Scion iQ belongs in the same category as a station wagon. But James, you say, we don’t buy wagons because there are none on the market. No, I retort, you don’t buy the wagons that we have on the market. The Jetta wagon is vastly outsold by its sedan counterpart. It’s the same story for its Audi stablemate. Again, look at the CTS wagon for example. Hailed as a savior for the shooting break set, it is likely that it has been cancelled. The reason? None of you bought one. Despite all the praise, all the overjoyed comments on forums and the positive reviews, few of you went out and laid down your capital to give one a home in your two-car garage. Right after typing out your praise for the heralded return of the depot hack, you went out and bought a Venza or an X5.

Don’t misunderstand the point of this article, however. (Ah, yes, I am finally coming to the point. And don’t worry, that Plymouth will show up again too. All in good time.) This is not intended as an angry exposé. I understand why many of you don’t buy the wagons we’re offered. They’re luxury cars, so they’re expensive. They don’t offer great luggage room, which some might suggest is the entire damn point of a wagon. The styling can be goofy. No, I get why the wagons we’re offered don’t do so well. What I don’t get is why we all laud station wagons like they are the nectar enjoyed on Mount Olympus. Is it just because they are forbidden fruit, as Mr. Automatch asked in his piece? No, it isn’t.

A wise man once said taste is what allows the aspiring artist to realize the works he is turning out early in his career are, well, trash. Taste is an elusive and strange quality. It’s why some of us don’t see a problem with driving a Camry back and forth all day, and others among us yearn to feel the wind running through their bald spot. Automotive taste, I would argue, is almost entirely learned. If I may bastardize the actual meaning of the nature/nurture debate, the cars we prefer are due almost entirely to nurture, rather than nature. More than most of us car to admit, we like the cars that others around us like. We lust after what we’re told to lust after. After deep introspection this morning, I still can’t figure out a rational reason why I appreciate the longroof. All I can guess is that the rest of you have rubbed off on me.

The reason we, as a car culture, enjoy wagons as much as we do, is because it is a pervasive attitude from which no one wishes to deviate. It distinguishes us from the “not real” car guys who only know about Lambos and Ferraris, and who wouldn’t give an Audi RS6 Avant a second glance. By loving wagons, as we love other obscure and unusual automobiles, we mark ourselves as the “true” car enthusiasts, who look beyond flashy supercars and can appreciate more “authentic” and “unique” types of cars. We are, to use a largely meaningless word, the hipsters of the automotive culture. We pride ourselves on liking what others find commonplace or uncool. We may not actually purchase wagons, but we do think they’re kind of neat.

(Photo via Wikipedia Commons)

The more (ahem) senior aficionados of the automotive scene are responsible for perpetuating this attitude. Okay, it’s the old guys. The old guys grew up in LTD Wagons, Roadmasters, and the like, when wagons were commonplace. The key to the wagon lust is not nature or nurture, but a third (conveniently alliterative) concept: nostalgia. The “adults” of the car scene, those who write the reviews and organize the shows, are nostalgic for the vehicles of their youths. They miss the huge rear glass and long flat roof of the station wagon, because they have fond memories of roadtripping in such a vehicle. The rest of us unwashed masses go along with what we read, what these older fans write, because we want to emphasize our “car guy credentials.” Eventually, we’ve internalized these beliefs, and this is why we like wagons. That’s why I like wagons, anyway.

(Somewhat bland photo via Wikipedia Commons)

And so, dramatic conclusion apparently reached, we return to the Plymouth Voyager we’ve abandoned lonely in the opening, sitting on its ubiquitous ES platform. What does a minivan two decades old have to do with this? Well, I feel the same way about it as those wagonistas do about their wagons. I look back with great affection to that boring, uninspiring, unenthusiastic box of a car. Despite its lack of merit, it still warms my heart when I see one trundling along in the right lane of the interstate, plastic trim long gone, and paint long baked to a dull gray. My childhood was happy and car-filled, and I formed that affectionate bond with the vehicle in which I was nurtured. This examination of wagon lust makes me wonder if there are others out there who remember that iconic rounded box of the Chrysler van as nostalgically as I do. I hope there are, and I hope a few more of the vans find their way to preservation rather than the scrapheap. Who knows? Maybe someday, on Jalopnik’s 3D interface, you’ll be reading a review of one of the only minivans left on the market. And that review will praise Chrysler for still bravely churning out minivans, even though no one wants to buy them. And if our preference for wagons is any example, that article will be followed by hundreds of comments filled with similar praise, but none of those commenters will really buy the van. Nostalgic wagon lust of the current generation, step aside for minivan lust of the next generation.

Financial Aid

What is financial aid?

Financial aid for college comes from a variety of government and private programs:

  • Grants - do not have to be repaid
  • Scholarships - (competitive) not repaid
  • Loans - must be repaid after the student leaves college
  • Work-Study - wages for work performed (check with your school's financial office)

How can anyone afford this?

Regardless of your economic status, you should be able to find enough resources to cover your needs. In addition to your family resources, most states and colleges offer:

  • need-based aid
  • student loans
  • merit-based scholarships

Students should apply for all forms of aid. One additional source is the IRS Publication 970: "Tax Benefits for Higher Education," which explains the American Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning tax credit, tax-advantaged college savings programs, and other tax benefits for students.

Tips for OSAC Application Success

Always complete the OSAC Application process.

You never know when a donor might make a new award available, but you can't get an OSAC award if you do not apply for a scholarship(s) using the OSAC scholarship application.

Take the SAT or the ACT.

High school students need to take the SAT or ACT in order to be more competitve when applying for scholarships, even if it's not required by the school.

Apply for federal financial aid.

The federal government is the biggest source of financial aid (loans, grants, and work study) and you must start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) To be considered for many OSAC scholarships, complete the FAFSA by March 10. If you don’t have the prior year’s tax information, you can always update your FAFSA as soon as it becomes available.

Include complete transcripts.

To be considered for OSAC scholarships, high school transcripts must include seven semesters, including course work for fall semester of your senior year. If your school reports grades by four quarters, make sure that your transcripts reflect the first two quarters of your senior year. Read and follow the OSAC application instructions carefully!

Apply for scholarships every year you are in college.

As long as you remain an Oregon resident, you are eligible to compete for OSAC scholarships.

Lynn Whitfield: glamor and grace

Gail Choice | 2/6/2013, 5 p.m.

What can I say about Lynn Whitfield that hasn't been said before? It's no wonder the Pan African Film Festival will bless the award-winning actress with its highest honor, a Lifetime Achievement Award for her work in television and film. Her career has spanned some 30 years thus far, and she is as beautiful, graceful and glamorous as the first day she set foot in Hollywood.

I first met Whitfield in 1986 when I interviewed her for my documentary focusing on Blacks in entertainment, "Unforgettable." At that time Black actresses were in the same boat much as they are today, yet Whitfield and others like her managed to keep working. In 1986, she shared with me her philosophy regarding working in Hollywood and apparently its worked for her all these years.

"When you walk into an office, say, an agent, and that agent says, "darling, you're too short, you're too dark, your hair isn't long enough. They're not buying this season." What do you have to stand on at that point? Simply stand on what you know to be truth, what you embrace to be your reality, and your truth. And that is what you've received, this is what I want to do, this is what I'm going to do. I do not accept this to be my reality, and you move forth." And move forth she has.

Whitfield is a native of Baton Rouge, La. There is this southern genteel charm she emits when you meet her face to face, and like a true southern belle, don't confuse that lady-like demeanor with weakness.

Her acclaim began growing at the Black Repertory Company in Washington, D.C. Later she appeared in Off-Broadway productions, and eventually starred in the Los Angeles stage production of "For Colored Girls . . ." Early on she made guest appearances in a number of television shows, and starred in two series, ABC's "Heartbeat" (1988) as a doctor, and an anchor woman in "Equal Justice" (1990).

Whitfield made her film debut "Dr. Detroit" (1983) starring Dan Ackroyd.
In 1991, Whitfield starred in HBO's "The Josephine Baker Story" and took the world by storm. She embodied Baker, who was among one of the most celebrated women in the world. Whitfield says she and the entire crew could feel Baker's spirit as they went about working on the production.

Whitfield's performance was flawless and for it she won the 1991 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Special.

In 1992, she starred in one of my favorite movies, "Stomping at the Savoy," earning her an NAACP Image Award in 1992 for her role in the mini-series. Directed by actress, and choreographer Debbie Allen, Whitfield starred as a low-down, back-stabbing friend of Vanessa Williams, Jasmine Guy and Vanessa Bell Callaway, and she was fine with it. If you've never seen this movie, make a point to do so.

Perhaps the one movie that resonates today with young women all over America is "It's a Thin Line Between Love and Hate." Whitfield says young women walk up to her to this day talking to her about that film. When I told a young woman in her early 20s I was interviewing Whitfield, she brought up that film.

Fabulous Room Friday 03.28.14

My goodness, has it been a crazy week! We have been going non-stop between meetings, design presentations, and wrapping up some projects at my house for a big photo shoot today. Needless to say, I am ready for the weekend. I have spent the last few weekends working, but I think I may need to actually unplug and recharge my batteries this weekend.

Lately, I've been really gravitating towards canopy beds as opposed to upholstered headboards and I think a high shine, polished chrome version such as this one in a bedroom by Ruthie Sommers is so chic, especially because it is paired with warmer, much more traditional pieces. The juxtaposition is so stylish. In my opinion, the bed is the star of the room, but everything else works so nicely together. The room is subtle, collected, and doesn't feel overly "designed". It looks like the perfect place to rest over the weekend!

The Wamapoke County Forest is one of the many green spaces located in Pawnee, Indiana. In the third season episode "Camping," the forest served as a campground for the Department of Parks and Recreation. There, they spent a whole day trying to come up with an idea for their next project, which was much anticipated, seeing as they were responsible for managing the Harvest Festival (which, as one of Pawnee's biggest local events, was highly acclaimed and was a huge success).

Dr John Briffa: Smooth operator

In my practice I see significant numbers of women who find that the presence of cellulite on their buttocks and thighs really gets under their skin. Many are keen to do what they can to rid themselves of the puckered dermal distortion that is characteristic of the condition. Ever on the lookout for novel, natural approaches to health issues, my eye was recently caught by an article heralding the arrival of anti-cellulite jeans. The jeans are impregnated with a form of vitamin A (retinol) which is said to reduce cellulite by promoting healthier structure in the skin. I'm all for innovation, but even I have to admit the idea that a cure for cellulite may be found in a pair of jeans is stretching it a bit.

Those looking for a leg-up in the smoothing of cellulite may be interested to learn of other natural approaches. One common feature in cellulite is fluid build-up (oedema), which in natural medicine is taken as a reaction to excess 'toxicity' in the system. Those with cellulite are often recommended to reduce their toxic load, primarily by eating as natural and unprocessed a diet as possible. Easy-to-assimilate foods such as fruit and vegetables, washed down with plenty of water, are the cornerstone of diets designed to help the body clear itself of internal effluent.

The fact that cellulite occurs almost exclusively in women and does not blight pre-pubertal thighs points to the hormone oestrogen as a likely provoking factor. Many natural practitioners recognise an excess of oestrogen (or 'oestrogen dominance')as a condition, manifestations of which include irritability, fluid retention and breast tenderness before a period. In practice, the herb Agnus castus seems to smooth this hormonal imbalance, and may help to smooth the appearance of the skin, too.

There is some evidence that the fluid accumulation characteristic of cellulite is related to 'leakiness' in the small blood vessels under the skin. Herbal preparations of Horse chestnut may help, because a substance in this plant (aescin) appears to reduce leakage from the body's vessels. Another factor that appears to underlie cellulite is reduced flow of blood and lymph fluid (essentially, the body's sewage) in the affected area. Taking a preparation of Ginkgo biloba may help to stimulate the circulation.

Another approach to getting blood and lymph flowing is vigorous brushing of the skin of the legs. Brushing in an upwardly direction encourages the draining of lymph and excess fluid, and helps to stimulate the circulation. Brushes made for this purpose are available in health-food stores. This, in addition to other natural approaches, can work wonders to transform the orange-peel appearance of cellulite into peachy skin.

Frictional Surfacing Seminar Report

Friction, which requires relative motion, pressure and time, is an efficient thermal energy source for the welding and reprocessing of materials. Friction based technology is now extensively used in industries,marine ,and aerospace. This paper will describe a friction based material processing technique called Friction Surfacing.

Surface engineering has become a relevant research field for manufacturing industries, as it enables advanced component design and a selective functionalization of surfaces. Solid state processing technologies are now mature and reliable alternatives to conventional processes. During the past decade the friction surfacing process has become well established with a number of commercial applications, and these are discussed at the end of this paper in the context of the current work. However, the existing models explaining the major relationships between process parameters are still generic. They are based on empirical rules and theoretical assumptions that account for a limited number of cases of current commercial interest. Many of these assumptions are implicit and have not been tested by using appropriate analysis and design of experiments.

Friction surfacing is a relatively new technology which is capable of producing coatings with zero dilution and good metallurgical bonding. This is attained because no melting is involved in this process. Friction surfacing is a solid state deposition process for producing wear and corrosion resistant coatings on metallic surfaces, which involves a rotating rod pushed against a horizontally moving plate. The rotating rod is the coating material and the plate is the substrate. Fig-1 shows a simple schematic diagram of friction surfacing process. The frictional heat generated during the process plasticizers the consumable rod. The plasticized metal gets deposited on to the substrate creating a relatively thick coating with good interfacial metallurgical bonding. The width of the coating depends on the diameter of the consumable rod and is normally in the range of 0.9 times the rod diameter.

How Fatherhood Works

Author's Note

Until recently, fatherhood has gotten short shrift, scientifically and culturally speaking. When it comes to parent-child relationships, motherhood has long been considered the crucial bond, which makes sense since moms are babies' biological conduits. But fatherhood also makes a powerful impact in children's lives, as evidenced by governmental efforts to get more men involved with their families. And even without prompting, modern men have taken a greater interest in fatherhood, spending more time than ever before with their children and helping around the house, putting in their own "second shifts."

This article was a welcome chance to shed light on how the cultural constructs of fatherhood developed as well as the ways that fatherhood impacts families -- and the men themselves. In that way, giving proper due to dads can only improve prospects for healthier, happier families, and it's high time that we understand the difference that they make.

What Songkran Means to Me, An Expat in Bangkok

Today is the last of three days celebrating Thailand’s annual Songkran, which marks the start of the traditional new year on calendars still used in this and other countries in Southeast Asia.

Beyond an opportunity for many Thais to enjoy much-needed vacation days and spend time with family, Songkran is a time of cleansing and renewal. That cleansing is most obviously manifested in the lighthearted water fights seen all around the country, especially in bigger cities like Chiang Mai and here in Bangkok; many people, young and old, walk the streets carrying water guns at all times (including myself).

It’s all super fun, but of course water fights aren’t the only aspect of this ritualistic holiday. There are other important religious and cultural considerations for Thais, and there are other things and meanings I’ve personally come to associate with Songkran after celebrating it twice now in Bangkok.

It meant stocking up on milk, instant coffee, beer, snacks, and whiskey at Big C Supercenter ahead of time, last Thursday, since most stores would be closed down, and alcohol sales would be restricted, like they were two years ago.

It meant finding out that those store closures and those alcohol restrictions were actually just an unfortunate byproduct of the Red Shirt protests and the escalating tensions between them and the Thai government, which obviously put a serious damper on Bangkok’s festivities in 2009. There were pockets of partying and many parts of the city were fine, but here in the central commercial district, it was a little eerie at times. Last year was even worse, and bloody confrontations happened soon after, though I wasn’t around for it. After two straight years of Songkran festivities marred by political strife, everybody seemed relieved this year to get on with it as normal, without unwanted distraction.

It means Thais parading around in orange, yellow, purple, and other brightly colored shirts decorated with flowers; “Hawaiian shirts”, the fun shirts of summer in Thailand.

Just as it did two years ago, it meant Tawandang! I woke up this morning with painful blister bubbles on both of my trigger fingers after firing off rounds and rounds of water once the party got wet and wild at around 10:45pm or so. As always, the night was filled with amazing performances and music, fantastic food, delicious beers, and a sweet, fun-loving waitstaff dancing it up with the rest of us. This is, easily, one of my favorite places in the city. Bonus: a special table-side birthday serenade from members of the staff, followed by a banana split.

It means turning another year older the day after Songkran is over. I kind of like the timing.

It means sometimes leaving the bigger water gun at home and being less conspicuous with the little water gun hidden in my shorts pocket.

It means Central World Plaza’s restaurants are crowded less with couples and more with families.

It meant being 1 of 3,471 participants at Central World Plaza who helped Thailand set a new Guinness World Record for the world’s largest water pistol fight. (This is the second Guinness record I’ve seen set this year!)

It definitely did not mean water gun fights on or anywhere near Khao San Road. (There’s one reason and one reason alone to ever visit the Khao San vicinity, during Songkran or otherwise: May Kaidee’s Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurant. There are now three locations in Bangkok (go May!), but my favorite is the old-school branch at 59 Tanao Road, which is essentially an alleyway that runs perpendicular to Khao San. That’s about as close as I care to get.)

It means a lot less traffic and crossing normally hectic Ratchadamri Road without having to use the elevated walkway. (Lazy.)

It means Thais on the side of the road dousing cars, tuk-tuks, and motorbikes with water from buckets, hoses, and/or water guns as they pass by. (Dangerous, but everybody laughs.)

It means “getting chalked” by smiling, laughing, sometimes-drunk Thais who say “Thailand Songkran!” or “You are now Thai!”

It means water-soaked, beer- and whiskey-fueled dance parties on the side of the road.

It means that some familiar faces at my local bars and restaurants, in my building, etc. are gone, off visiting family in their home provinces, but others are still around, still working. (Sad.)

It means it’s really fucking hot outside.

It means seeing the eyes of cute little kids, armed with little water guns, light up when you (farang) playfully squirt them once or twice with your water gun, then let them squirt you a few more times as you slowly run away from them.

It means being squirted, repeatedly, directly in your eyes by bigger kids with bigger water guns.

It means leaving the house in grubby clothes, wearing flip-flops instead of tennis shoes (slippery), and not bringing your camera unless it’s sealed in a plastic bag.

It means having even more fun than usual in a city I love, with a girl I love even more.

Suicide Watch Week 6: Cashing In

By Justin Boylan

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – For five weeks I’ve been walking on eggshells around the NFL schedule trying to avoid the landmine game that would blow me out of the 94WIP Suicide Pool. For all the close games we’ve had each week, there hadn’t been the big upset that slashes survivors like Machete Cortez.

Last year it came early. Remember week 2? The Patriots were 13-point favorites at home against Kevin Kolb’s Cardinals. The Pats didn’t score a touchdown until the two-minute mark of the fourth quarter, and Stephen Gostkowski missed a 42-yard field goal to win it in the final seconds. It was one of the freak occurrences that could not be anticipated or explained.

We were able to avoid such heartbreak, until the last two games of the week. Between the late-night Raiders special and the Geno Smith coming out party, more than 4,000 participants have been left dead in the water. That’s almost half of the field that entered week 5 alive gone faster than a Mike Vick injury.

So please excuse me while I cash in on maybe the biggest mismatch in NFL history. Now is not the time to look past the gigantic blinking PICK ME sign on the road to the ring.

My Selection – Broncos vs. Jaguars

(Teams used: Colts, Falcons, Seahawks, Chiefs, Packers)

As I look at Denver’s schedule, I don’t see a better time to use them. Week 8 they are in Washington, but I’d rather take them at home. After their week 9 bye, their next four are three divisional games and a date with the Pats in Foxborough. Week 14 at home against the Titans is too far away for me to not take them here.

This pick doesn’t exactly require justification, but it will make me feel like I actually worked on my pick this week. The Jags have scored 51 points this season, and the Broncos scored 51 points four days ago. Jacksonville has scored five touchdowns. Denver’s rookie tight end Julius Thomas has six. The Jaguars have gained a total of 1,259 yards, which is just 625 yards shy of what Peyton Manning has put up through the air.

Also, in news beaten to death as much as Philly’s longest-tenured coach, it’s the largest NFL spread since the birth of the first bookie. The Broncos money line right now is -7,000. So rather than betting $700 on the Broncos to win $10, I’ll settle for getting through week 6.

Best Bet for Survival – Seahawks vs. Titans

Denver is lock of all locks, but this is a solid runner-up. If you still have Seattle, congrats, but now might be the time. There’s no reason to save teams like the Broncos and Seahawks for a later game, because life in the pool is not guaranteed.

After this week, they have two divisional road games before coming back home in week 9 to play the Bucs. Can you wait that long? Looking ahead will get you killed. Live in the now, and take the sure thing.

The Seahawks are unbeatable at home. Ryan Fitzpatrick is beatable anywhere.

Cheating Death – Browns vs. Lions

This pick comes with a Megatron-sized disclaimer before it. Calvin Johnson has not been practicing this week, and could miss his second-straight game. Without him, Matthew Stafford is throwing to Ryan Broyles and Kris Durham. The Lions live to throw the ball, and without Johnson the Browns can focus almost all of their effort towards stopping Reggie Bush.

Speaking of the Browns, are you aware that they have ripped off three-straight wins? Of the non-undefeated teams, only the Colts have a streak that long. Yes Brandon Weeden is back in after they lost Brian Hoyer for the year, but I expect the defense and the Dawg Pound to be the difference makers.

The Browns and Eagles could both be in first place after this week. I love the NFL.

This might be the last week of smooth sailing, and I don’t intend on passing it up.

Stay alive.

Friends in flight

I have the most amazing conversations with people when I fly alone.... especially when there is drama in the system. I'd like to remember these people, and send my thanks into the internets for their interactions with me yesterday... I hope you all made it to where you were going....

They go pretty much in this order:
Girl from Brazille: I admire you for being so adventuresome to go all the way to BN state on your own. Asking a complete stranger for advise on what to do when your flight is messed up is, to us, a brave act. I'm glad your trip was planned to have plenty of time in DC to make your connection, because you'll need it -- and I could see in your face you really wanted to be home. Going out is good, coming home is often even better. I wish you good luck -- because as I write you should still be in the air.

To Retired Computer guy: Thanks for the amazing conversation about teaching. I love the fact that you said your most influential classes were the logic class I teach and the political science classes hubby teaches. I also admire the fact that, in your soul, you are a researcher. You dig back, tracing the intellectual roots of ideas and read the stuff cited in books. Talking to you was fun and informative. I hope that when I get to be your age I can also have your sunny attitude and inquisitive nature. When I get my dissertation finished, if I've included your idea about a duty to have an end-point for the war... or a definition of 'success', I'll have to credit you somehow -- but I don't know your name....

To the NJ nursing student trying to get to Edmonton: Canada will still be there when you get there! Have fun with your friends and I hope you have a safe flight. I'm sad I only got to sit with you a few minutes -- your friends are lucky to have you come all that way to see them. Have a great weekend!

To the healthcare exec from Red State: I hope you run your company with as much care and thought as you put into our short conversation about philosophy. Your perceptions of people are pretty amazing and your work in Africa sounds as if it is a morally good thing, even if it is difficult to overcome cultural challenges. Keep talking to the ethicists at your hospitals. They'll keep you inspired to help those who need it. If my specialty was health care ethics, I'd have asked for your business card -- you are someone I would be happy to work for. I was glad to see you get stand-by on my flight into Red State. I'm sure your family missed you and was delighted to have you back.

To the woman from Alaska: It is very sweet that you came all the way from Alaska to Red State to see your mom. Even if she seems like she doesnt' appreciate it, I'm sure she does deep in her heart. Going shopping to buy a new purse and carry-on bag is a great idea -- kind of like listening to your own husband when he told you the only things you can carry on have to be in a plastic zip-lock bag wasn't such a good idea. Did he think you were going to London? Welcome to Red State, I hope you enjoy your time here.

This is a really sweet post. It's nice to be able to recognize that there are so many terrific people out there just going about their lives, loving their families, and getting stuck in airports :)

Jacob Santos' Blog:
phpBB is Dead, Long Live FUDForum (or at least SMF)
Sep 26, 2006 @ 13:28:35

In this new entry on his blog, Jacob Santos is officialy ringing his own sort of death knell for phpBB in the form of recommending a move to FUDForum.

The development of phpBB 3 has been past due for a long time. In my humble and not so educated opinion, it has faded (or if it hasn't already, it will fade) into obscurity. The phpBB 2.x development line has been overtaken by other forum projects, including better security in their package. SMF offers many of the features that will appear in phpBB 3 and also offers phpBB ease of installation and use.

He goes on to talk about the "upcoming release" of phpBB 3 but reminds us of the fact that it might be "another 2 or 3 years" before the update. If they ever get it out, though, (and it lives up to expectations) it'll be great.

Jacob then looks at FUDForum (a project involving Ilia Alshanetsky) and praises it for its integration skills and simplicity. It even includes APIs to help integrate the install of FUDForum with the databases from other popular message boards.

    So after going to System Requirements Lab it says my pc does not mean minimum CPU, should i buy it and still try it out to see if I can run it, or dont chance it and forget csgo?

    i doubt its gonna be to graphics intensive haha
  4. May 15, 2011
    Doubt you can't run it. Even if it lags a bit I'm sure lowest quality can do you good. Unless you are running a 10 year old something, I don't see the problem. I've had more problems with new machines not running old games than I have not being able to run new games. :\

    Valve builds their games so they are compatible for an impressive wide range of computer specs. Even the minimum is good for low-end computers so you'll probably be able to run all on low (However remember that ze maps are more intensive than most regular maps)
