Boy Scouts Delay Decision on Gays
IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America's national executive board has delayed a decision on whether to lift its longstanding ban on gay scouts and leaders.
BSA said Wednesday the organization will take action on the resolution at its national meeting in May.
The organization said last week it was considering a shift of its policy, which has led officials to remove gay leaders and scouts. That announcement pushed years of debate over the policy to an even higher level.
President Barack Obama — Scouting's honorary president — spoke in favor of letting gay scouts in. Others opposed a shift. Protesters on both sides rallied at BSA headquarters in Irving, outside Dallas.
Scout leaders across the country will now have to decide how to handle a very delicate issue.
BSA announced last week it was considering allowing troops to decide whether to allow gay membership. That news has placed a spotlight on executive board meetings that began Monday in Irving, Texas, where scouting headquarters is located.
BSA spokesman Deron Smith said last week that the board could take a vote Wednesday or decide to discuss the policy, but the organization would issue a statement either way. Otherwise, the board has remained silent, with reporters barred from the hotel where its meetings are taking place.
At nearby BSA headquarters, a handful of Scouts and leaders delivered petitions Monday in support of letting gay members join. The conservative group Texas Values, meanwhile, says it has organized a Wednesday morning prayer vigil urging the Scouts to keep their policy the same.
President Barack Obama, an opponent of the policy, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an Eagle Scout who supports it, both have weighed in.
"My attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does in every institution and walk of life," said Obama, who as U.S. president is the honorary president of BSA, in a Sunday interview with CBS.
Perry, the author of the book "On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting For," said in a speech Saturday that "to have popular culture impact 100 years of their standards is inappropriate."
The board faces several choices, none of which is likely to quell controversy. Standing pat would go against the public wishes of two high-profile board members — Ernst & Young CEO James Turley and AT&T Inc. CEO Randall Stephenson — who run companies with nondiscrimination policies and have said they would work from within to change the Scouts' policy.
Conservatives have warned of mass defections if Scouting allows gay membership to be determined by troops. Local and regional leaders, as well as the leadership of churches that sponsor troops, would be forced to consider their own policies. And policy opponents who delivered four boxes of signatures to BSA headquarters Monday said they wouldn't be satisfied by only a partial acceptance of gay scouts and leaders.
"We don't want to see Scouting gerrymandered into blue and red districts," said Brad Hankins, campaign director of Scouts for Equality.

Pear crisp a savory, sweet fall dessert
Ground cardamom gives this simple fall-friendly crisp a sweet-spicy flavor that you will smell as much as taste.
Don't worry too much about which type of oats to use in a recipe such as this.

But on June 29, 2011, Lois G. Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt organizations, learned at a meeting that groups were being targeted, according to the watchdogs report. At the meeting, she was told that groups with Tea Party, Patriot or 9/12 Project in their names were being flagged for additional and often burdensome scrutiny, the report says.
The 9-12 Project is a group started by conservative TV personality Glenn Beck.
Lerner instructed agents to change the criteria for flagging groups immediately, the report says.
The Treasury Departments inspector general for tax administration is expected to release the results of a nearly yearlong investigation in the coming week. The AP obtained part of the draft report, which has been shared with congressional aides.

Warm, welcoming, classy, delicious… these four words give us a faint idea of my impressions of Natural Village Cafe (2 Avenue I – across from Shoprite Supermarket – Brooklyn, NY 11218; Tel: 347.492.5337 or 347. 417.6424). The restaurant is cholov Yisroel and pas Yisroel, with a mashgiach temidi and under the certification of Harav Meir Goldberg of the Va'ad Hakashrus d'Flatbush.
Nina Shapir, who presides over this eatery is truly a fascinating personality, the personal journey that changed her life and motivated her to open this establishment is full of commitment and dedication.
Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Shapir – a very young mother of three – found herself sick and unable to move, unable to cope. It was not a question of being financially overwhelmed, any such concerns were well taken care of. Medical tests and treatments produced no positive results, on the contrary things inexplicably kept getting worse. She met Harav Chay Azoulay, from Herzliya, who told her the real malady was not physical but rather one that affected her neshama. After some thought, trying to make sense of Rav Azulay's words, she went on a detox diet with the help of healthfood stores, intent on ridding herself of all negative energies. This decision was followed by six very hard weeks before she saw any measurable improvements but soon after she was her old active, curious, intelligent, enterprising self again.
At this stage, Nina decided to help others who, though similarly afflicted, may not be aware of the real source of their health troubles. She went on to study Healing Arts at The School of Natural Healing in Utah from which she graduated. Seven years ago her first organic restaurant opened its doors. Her partner, however, was not frum and it proved frustrating eventually Nina bought her out. In 2008 she moved to the present location which combines her personal philosophy, her exquisite sense of aesthetics and the true love of a foodie for superb fare. She also has an an office adjacent to the restaurant where she treats the many in search of natural healing.
The restaurant sports geometric patterns on its walls and ceiling, with warm earth tones that give us a clue to the owner's style and personality. Chef Bobby Brabaloni is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America – America's foremost Culinary School – a fact which becomes obvious when you see the presentation, smell the aromas and taste the wonderful flavors.
My companion and I started our early dinner with a dish of Stuffed Mushrooms…
It consists of white mushrooms with sauteed onions, creamy pesto sauce, melted mozzarella and feta cheeses with a kick of chopped parsley. It was a perfect opener to a memorable meal.
We segued with their Village Pizza…
It came in a sesame crust, red onions, mushrooms, two types of mozzarella cheese and their very own red sauce. I know pizza, I'm a pizza addict and I must confess this one ranks among my favorites. My companion also found it delicious.
Next we had their Salmon Salad…
A superbly tasting salad fresh romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, grilled salmon, pan sauteed red inions, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms with a subtle teriyaki sauce. A fitting crown to our meal!
Wholesome food, warm ambience, reasonable prices, a nice bakery on premises… I know I'll be back again and again.

Why you should add Luxembourg to your Indie/RTW trip
Luxembourg's size makes it one of the forgotten countries in Europe, but if you are traveling through the region you could do far worse than to spend a little time in this historic duchy. Sandwiched between France, Belgium, and Germany, it definitely takes on characteristics of its neighbors, but there is plenty to make it unique at the same time.
- With one of the highest standards of living in the world, the locals are probably fine with being ignored, but let's have a look anyway, shall we?
- Luxembourg City is the largest city and obvious focal point. The location itself, perched on a hill overlooking two valleys, makes for some stunning views.
- There is a cathedral and palace in the center that are both worthwhile attractions and a series of military caves known as casemates are open for tours and provide excellent views in addition to the fascinating history of the caves themselves.
- For something a little different, there is a huge American war memorial and cemetery within the city where General George Patton is among the buried.
- The Moselle Valley is one of the area's more famous wine regions. Known for their sweet and fruity whites, the areas wineries are a big draw from spring through autumn. There are several prominent wineries along the Moselle River and tours and tastings, of course, are available.
Read: Luxembourg Travel Facts.
Many will arrive in Luxembourg by train using their Eurail Pass. Get one through BootsnAll. Many come by car, but Luxembourg also has an aiport. You can book a flight into Luxembourg, but being a small airport, good deals tend to be hard to come by, so usually it's best to check prices into Paris or Frankfurt as well. The airport is close to the city and buses between the two are frequent.

Where To Stay
There are hostels in Luxembourg to help save a few bucks. The city is small and the center is very nice, so consider paying a bit more for a great location.

On a beautiful 4th of July afternoon at Nationals Park, the Washington Nationals enjoyed their third consecutive Independence Day victory behind a solid outing from pitcher John Lannan and a booming 300th career homer by Adam Dunn.
The come-from-behind victory gave Nationals fans plenty to cheer about, and they did, easily drowning out the usual contingent of Atlanta Braves fans who show up in DC; but Abe Lincoln's antics during the 4th inning presidents race drove more than a few spectators to stunned silence.
After coming from behind to take the lead from Thomas Jefferson heading into the home stretch, Abe inexplicably turned and headed straight for the stands in section 134, where he climbed over the rail and waited for the presidents race to end.
It was positively Teddy-esque.

Business update: GM fined $35 million over deadly defect
WASHINGTON — Federal safety regulators slapped General Motors with a record $35 million fine Friday for taking more than a decade to disclose an ignition-switch defect in millions of cars that has been linked to at least 13 deaths.
Under an agreement with the Transportation Department, GM admitted it was slow to inform regulators, promised to report problems faster and submitted to more in-depth government oversight of its safety operations.
The fine was the maximum the department can impose.
Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, said the Justice Department — which is conducting a parallel criminal investigation — should fine the company $1 billion or more and bring charges against GM engineers and their superiors.
"That's the only way you're going to change GM's behavior," he said.
Congress is also investigating GM, and the automaker faces hundreds of lawsuits over deaths and injuries attributed to the ignition switch.
The company has acknowledged knowing that the switches in its small cars had problems since at least 2001. But it was not until February that it began recalling 2.6 million of the cars, mainly Chevrolet Cobalts and Saturn Ions.
Automakers are required by federal law to report safety defects to the government within five days of discovering them.
When jostled, the ignition switches can slip out of the "run" position and shut off the engine. That cuts off the power steering and brakes, potentially causing drivers to lose control. It also disables the air bags.
GM says at least 13 people have died in crashes linked to the problem. Lawyers suing the company say the death toll is at least 53.
The Transportation Department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which has been criticized for failing to take action on the switches despite thousands of complaints from car owners, used a news conference to turn the tables on GM, detailing some of the most damning evidence against the automaker.
Acting NHTSA Administrator David Friedman said a 2009 memo from a parts supplier to GM stated that the switch problem could disable the cars' air bags. Had the government been told that at the time, it would have sought a recall, Friedman said.
Friedman said it was clear many GM employees knew about the bad switch years ago, from engineers to executives. But he said the agency has no records to contradict CEO Mary Barra's claim that she found out about it only recently.
He portrayed the scandal as part of a larger problem with the safety culture at GM, saying the automaker's training materials discouraged employees from using words like "defect" or "dangerous" when reporting trouble up the chain of command.
"The fact that GM took so long to report this defect says there was something very wrong with the company's values," Friedman said.
GM received a $49.5 billion bailout from Washington during its 2009 bankruptcy, and the government was once the automaker's majority shareholder, but it sold off the last of its GM stock in December.
GM stock closed Friday down just 36 cents, or 1 percent, at $34.

Neither your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer nor 3M are responsible for damage or staining caused by wear, crushing, matting, color fading, or damage caused by smoke, fire, flood, storms, wind, lightning, or any disaster; or for stains or damage from plumbing or appliance failure; or for carpet that has been burned, torn, cut or stained due to improper cleaning or maintenance, abuse, vandalism, or alteration.
This is not a cleaning contract and specifically excludes discoloration due to general soiling.
To obtain service under this Limited Stain Warranty, contact the 3M Service Center at 1-800-352-6789 within 5 days of the occurrence of the stain. Service is available only in the United States and Canada.
This limited stain warranty may be transferred to a new owner of the carpet for a service fee of $100.00. The transfer must be handled by the original purchaser before the sale of the home and supported by receipts for maintenance as required by this warranty. Contact the 3M Service Center for details.
The obligation of your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer and 3M under this limited stain warranty shall be limited to removing the stain, and if the stain cannot be removed, to replacing the carpet as described above.

This limited warranty is provided to you in lieu of all other express or implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, which are disclaimed hereunder. However, if such warranties are required as a matter of law, then they are limited in duration to the warranty period.
Some states or provinces do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitations of consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
(See General Terms and Conditions on pages 25-26 for other conditions that apply.)
Limited Installation Warranty
Your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer guarantees the quality of workmanship to be professional and in keeping with the standards set by the carpet industry. Should installation service attributable to the original installation be required during the life of your floor, your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer will provide that service at no cost to you. "Life of Floor" means the length of the Limited Wear Warranty specified by the warranty level corresponding to the carpet you purchased. See the Warranty Information on page 13 for further details.
This warranty is valid only for original owner-occupied residential installations performed by a Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer or Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® authorized independent installer and will be invalid if the carpet condition is due to improper maintenance or cleaning, abuse, excessive moisture, vandalism, or alteration.
Please note that in most installations, seams are necessary. Our installers are trained to minimize seams; however, seams are inevitable and will not be invisible. This is quite normal, should be expected, and is not considered a defect under this Limited Installation Warranty.
Limited Fade Warranty
Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® warrants that any carpet style marked with the icon will not show a permanent color change due to exposure to sunlight or exposure to atmospheric contaminants (including ozone or oxides of nitrogen) for the period specified by the warranty level of the product purchased from the original date of installation. Permanent color change is defined as a rating of greater than one unit as measured by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) Gray Scale for standard comparison of the extent of the color differences.
Limited Pet Warranty
Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® warrants that any carpet style marked with the icon will resist stains from pet (domestic dog or cat) urine for the period specified by the warranty level of the product purchased from the original date of installation. Stain resistance means the ability of the carpet pile to resist (minimize or withstand) permanent stains. If permanent staining should occur that cannot be removed by using recommended suggestions, professional cleaning may be required. This warranty excludes any stains or damage resulting from vomit or feces, or any urine stain other than pet (domestic dog or cat) urine. Odor resulting from the covered pet urine stain is excluded. Wicking may occur requiring the pet urine area to be cleaned more than once. If above-mentioned stains are saturated and result in wicking, these stains will release with additional re-cleaning. Wicking is defined as a reappearance of previously cleaned stains due to liquid remaining in carpet backing or padding. It is strongly recommended that any remaining moisture be absorbed by placing several layers of white towels over the spot and weighing them down with a heavy object. This step is necessary even when the carpet doesn't seem particularly damp. Cleaning of the affected area should begin immediately upon discovery. The more time that elapses before removal, the more difficult a stain will be to remove.
(See General Terms and Conditions on pages 25-26 for other conditions that apply.)
General Terms and Conditions for Carpet Warranties
In addition to the requirements previously specified for each respective limited warranty, the following general terms and conditions apply to each of the limited warranties unless otherwise specified. Warranty terms begin from the date of installation.
- These limited warranties apply only to carpet installed in owner-occupied residential space where no commercial activity takes place. For purposes of these limited warranties, the terms "commercial activity" and "commercial application" shall mean an activity or application engaged in for business purposes, regardless of where such activity or application takes place, including but not limited to, such activity or application taking place in a store, office, apartments, warehouse, plant, facility, or other place of business or residential dwelling. Area rugs are not covered under this warranty.
- See fiber manufacturers' and carpet manufacturers' separate warranties for the terms and conditions of these warranties. Each fiber manufacturer and carpet manufacturer has its own definitions and limitations with regard to stain, soil, and static resistance. Abnormal matting, crushing, or loss of texture retention from normal foot traffic is defined under the standard rating scales and definitions set forth by each fiber manufacturer or carpet manufacturer, as the case may be.
- These limited warranties exclude carpet that has been put to abnormal use or conditions or abused in any way. "Abnormal use or conditions" includes, but is not limited to, water damage from plumbing, storm, or flood; damage from smoke or fire or other casualty event; damage from improper cleaning methods or materials; chairs on wheels; and from improper maintenance. "Abuse" is any use of the carpet that is unreasonable considering the normal and expected uses of a carpet in a residence.
- To qualify for repair or replacement, the original sales receipt or other documentation that demonstrates proof of purchase must be supplied.
- All carpet must be installed over proper cushion that meets the HUD UM 72A, Class 1 standards (USA) or CMHC standards in Canada.
- These warranties apply only to the original purchaser and installation site and are not transferable. *Five-Star Rated product warranties are NOT transferable. Only Downs® Limited Stain Warranty is transferable. See pages 21-23 for more details.
- These warranties apply only to residential installations performed by a Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer or Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® authorized independent installer.
- Do not apply stain-repellent treatments which contain silicone, as they tend to accelerate soiling of carpets.
- These warranties apply only if you follow regular carpet care and routine maintenance. Over time, normal foot traffic and soiling of a carpet will cause a change in any carpet's appearance. Most carpets must be professionally cleaned with hot water extraction by an IICRC certified cleaner* at least once every 18-24 months to maintain warranty coverage. Call your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer for the name of the nearest approved dealer.
- Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® SHALL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED UPON THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES, CONTRACTS, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL CLAIM. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The foregoing warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights that vary from state to state or province to province.
- If there is a conflict between these general terms and conditions and the limited warranties as specified, the limited warranties as specified shall control.
- The terms of the warranty begin on the date of installation.
* Certain restrictions may apply. See your retailer for more specific information concerning the recommended cleaning methods for your specific carpet.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's new president on Sunday called on the West to abandon the "language of sanctions" in dealing with his country over its contentious nuclear program, hoping to ease the economic pressures now grinding its people.
President Hasan Rouhani spoke after being sworn in as president in an open session of parliament Sunday, capping a weekend that saw him endorsed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader.
Rouhani, a moderate cleric who won a landslide victory in the June 14 presidential elections, continued his call for dialogue with the West while asking foreign powers to respect Iran in its negotiations.
"If you seek a suitable answer, speak to Iran through the language of respect, not through the language of sanctions," the president said in a speech broadcast live by Iranian state television. He later added that any negotiations would require "bilateral trust building, mutual respect and the lessening of hostilities."
Iran is under United Nations sanctions as well as unilateral Western oil and banking sanctions over its refusal to halt uranium enrichment, a technology that can be used to power reactors producing electricity or build nuclear weapons.
Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful and geared towards generating electricity and producing radioisotopes to treat cancer patients.
Rouhani replaces President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who struck a hard-line approach when dealing with the West and its sanctions over the nuclear program. The sanctions have hit the country's vital oil exports and blocked transactions on international banking networks. Inflation is running at more than 35 percent. The Iranian rial has lost more than two-thirds of its value against the U.S. dollar since late 2011.
Many Iranians and foreign diplomats hope that Rouhani, a former top nuclear negotiator, can strike a more conciliatory tone in negotiations. Those hopes could be seen by the attendance at his swearing in, as the audience included leaders and other representatives from more than 50 countries. It was the first time since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution that foreign dignitaries attended the swearing-in ceremony of an Iranian president.
In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Rouhani's inauguration represented "an opportunity for Iran to act quickly to resolve the international community's deep concerns over Iran's nuclear program."
"Should this new government choose to engage substantively and seriously to meet its international obligations and find a peaceful solution to this issue, it will find a willing partner in the United States," Carney said in a statement.
During his speech, Rouhani said Iran opposes "any change in political systems through foreign intervention." Iran is a close ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose country remains in the grips of a bloody two-year civil war. Assad's government has received fighters from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, helping government forces gain ground in recent weeks.
"Peace and stability in all neighboring regions is a need and necessity for Iran," Rouhani said.
Syria's state-run news agency SANA reported Sunday that Rouhani told Syria's prime minister that no force in the world would shake the alliance between the two countries. Syria has been Tehran's strongest ally in the Arab world since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Rouhani also said that Iran is "not after changing borders and governments." He did not elaborate, but it appeared to be a reference to Israel, which other Iranian leaders have demanded be destroyed in the past.
Meanwhile, Rouhani also presented a list of ministers he wants for his Cabinet to parliament. The core of his team has figures whose academic pedigrees include institutions in California, Washington and London.
Rouhani proposed Mohammad Javad Zarif, a diplomat at Iran's U.N. Mission in New York for five years, to serve as foreign minister. He also proposed Mahmoud Alavi, a cleric and former lawmaker, as minister of intelligence and Hossein Dehghan, a former commander in the powerful Revolutionary Guards, as defense minister. Others include officials who served in the administrations of both reformist President Mohammad Khatami and centrist President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
Khamenei, however, has final say in all key matters, including Rouhani's key Cabinet posts. On Saturday, Rouhani received a kiss on the forehead from Khamenei, a blessing from the supreme leader.

In 2022, tuition for full-time students at Florida International University was $6,168 a year for in-state students and $18,566 a year for out-of-state students.
On average, college tuition rises about 3% year.
If this makes attending the college of your dreams sound impossible, remember, the total cost of tuition isn't the final cost for attending college. Many students find the actual cost of college is far less than the sticker price after grants, scholarships, and tuition discounts kick in. Additionally, student loans can make the amount you do have to pay out of pocket more manageable until you're done with college.
International students can expect to pay 18,566 per year for tuition at Florida International University.
Florida International University is a public, state institution, so it offers a reduced tuition rate of $6,168 for students who qualify as state residents and attend full-time.Non-Florida residents can expect to pay 18,566 per year for tuition.
Public colleges and universities receive funding from the state government. These institutions offer reduced tuition for students who are residents of that state.
Choosing a college where you qualify for in-state status can cut the cost of college tuition. Don't forget to confirm your state's guidelines for how to qualify for in-state tuition. Every state has its own rules about what makes someone eligible for in-state tuition. Most states require students to have resided in the state for a certain period of time before qualifying. There may be other criteria too, depending on the state you and your parents currently reside in.

Florida International University has the same tuition for international students as for those from out of state.
International students at Florida International University usually pay around $18,566 per year, before any scholarships, grants or other financial aid.
Students from outside of the U.S. are not eligible for loans or grants from the U.S. government, but should research private or school-specific grants, scholarships, and other funding opportunities..
In addition to the cost of tuition, room and board, books, transportation and fees are also costs it consider when planning for college. Let's take a look at what impacts these costs, and what to expect at Florida International University.
Room and board at Florida International University costs $11,076 a year. This covers the cost of living in dorms or other on-campus housing, plus a dining plan that allows you to eat in the Florida International University's on-campus cafeterias and dining halls. Students who do not live on-campus but would like to be able to eat in the campus dining can choose to be on a meal plan. The cost of a mean plan, or board-only, is $7,166.
Meal-plan costs can depend on how many meals are included in the plan you choose.
The cost of books often surprises first-year college students. The actual cost of books depends on the courses you take and the materials required. To save money, many students choose to use books from the library or buy used textbooks and materials.
Most schools also have fees to help cover the cost of facilties, like the computer labs and libraries, athletic facilities, and more.
Keep in mind, there could also be additional fees associated with participating in special activities, like joining a fraternity or sorority, or playing on an intramural sports team. Most colleges have ways for students with demonstrated need to get help covering these costs.
The total cost of transportation in college can really vary. Will you drive, fly, or take public transportation to school? Will you need to pay to park on-campus? Is the campus small enough that you can easily walk from class-to-class?? Do you plan to bring a car or are you planning to use public transportation? All of these questions can drastically impact your estimated cost of transportation. At Florida International University, freshman are allowed to park on campus.
The location of a college or university can also have a big effect on transportation costs. Small, rural schools may be easier to get around, but the cost of getting to campus may be higher. On the other hand transportation in a city can be expensive, but cities may offer more trains, busses or affordable flights to actually get to school. The Florida International University campus is in a urban setting in Florida, near Miami.
When creating a budget for college, don't forget to leave some room in your budget for personal expenses, like entertainment, clothes, furnishings and toiletries.
Now, let's go over all of the costs we've covered, to get a better idea of what is really costs to go to Florida International University.
What will the cost of attending Florida International University be? Here is a breakdown of tuition and expenses.
|2022 Total Tuition and Expenses
|In-state Tuition
|Out-of-State Tuition
|Room and Board
|Board Only
|Other expenses
The total estimated cost will vary depending on whether you are going to live on-campus or off-campus.
Tuition and fees may vary depending on program, course level, location, and more.
Florida International University's tuition and fees change based on: •Campus location for full-time and part-time students
In 2022, 18,613 of the 46,079 undergrads enrolled received financial aid. Florida International University meets 43.9% of the demonstrated financial need for undergraduates.
The average financial aid package for a full-time, first-year student is around $11,190 a year. Around 34.36% of Florida International University undergrads take out student loans to cover any remaining costs. Florida International University graduates who have student loans graduate with an average of $19,424 of student loan debt.
The average debt for each loan type varies.
|Average Debt By Loan Type
|Federal Loans
|Private Loans
|Most Common Loans for Florida International University Students
|Federal Loans
|Private loans
Most students take out institutional or government loans, because they tend to have lower interest rates and more flexible repayment options than private loans. Loans from the federal government can be subsidized or unsubsidized. Subsidized loans do not accrue interest during school, while unsubsidized loans begin accruing interest at the time the loan is issued. If students do no qualify for enough federal loans to cover the cost of tuition, some take out private loans. Parents can also take out ParentPLUS loans, which are government loans for parents who are helping their children pay for college.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps colleges determine how much financial need students and their familes have, so they can offer a financial aid package that meets, or come close to meeting, their need. For more information on Florida International University financial aid, keep reading, or visit their financial aid website.
Some students may receive grants and scholarships to help pay for college. Unlike loans, scholarships and grants do not have to be paid back.
In 2022, Florida International University awarded 15,490 need-based scholarships to students, giving away total of $169.6 million to help students with financial need cover the cost of school. An additional $87.82 million in merit-based scholarship money was awarded to students without demonstrated financial need.
The net price of college is the actual cost of attending a school for one year. Net cost is calculated by subtracting any scholarships, grants or other aid that does not need to be paid back from the total cost. Student loans are not part of the calculation, because they need to be repaid.
Now that we have a sense of the total estimated costs for Florida International University students, we can subtract the average financial aid package to find the estimated net cost. Net cost can vary depending on a students' need and the financial aid award received.
When considering whether a school fits your budget, it is important to consider the estimated net cost, not just the sticker price of tuition. Often, schools with the highest tuition also offer the most generous aid packages, so estimate your net cost before eliminating a school because it does fit your budget.
The average amount of financial aid received by a full-time first year student with demonstrated need at Florida International University was $11,190 in 2022. By substracting the average financial aid package from the estimated costs, we get a number that may make the cost of Florida International University seem more manageable.
|Estimated Net Cost for Full-Time Students
|In-State, On-Campus
|Net In-state, Off-campus
|Out-of-State, On-Campus
Note: a negative number can indicate that a refund will be given to use toward other expenses such as housing, fees, and books. In such cases, be sure to reach out to the school directly for any clarification or questions.
What will attending Florida International University really cost you? The answer depends on several factors.
As of 2011, colleges are required to have a net price calculator on their website to help prospective students and their families understand the actual cost of attending that school, based on their financial situation. You can find the Florida International University's net cost calculator on their website.
Some students choose to use payment plans to make the cost of tuition fit more comfortably in their budget.
Florida International University offers an Installment Payment Plan, which allows students to pay tuition in a series of smaller chunks instead of one lump sum.
Schools sometimes offer tuition waivers to certain groups, to make attending more affordable. Some colleges offer tuition waivers for employees and their family members, underrepresented students, or military students. Even if you qualify for a waiver, other expenses and fees are the responsibility of the student.
Florida International University has some full or partial tuition waivers available for: - Employees or Children of Employees

Frequenty Asked Questions
Why should I choose Zenterior?
At Zenterior, we strive to redefine the way the interiors are done. Everything from procurement, manufacturing and assembly directions are automated that will result in a low margin of error and high-quality finish. Because of the automation, the kitchen can be completed in one day, and a 3 bhk home can be completed in 3-4 days.
How long does it take to deliver my home interiors and modular kitchen with Zenterior?
With our automated procurement and manufacturing instructions, we deliver a lot faster than any other vendors. An 80 to 100 sqft kitchen takes only a day to complete. A 3bhk home will be completed in 3-4 days.
Do you charge anything for the design?
The design comes as a compliment to the interior work. No charges.
Are there any charges other than the quoted price?
No, there are not any additional charges. All the items including the granite, CNC, kitchen baskets and other accessories are part of the final quotation. So there will not be any increase in charges.
Can I buy the materials for the interior work myself?
Yes, of course. When the quotation is given to you, it clearly specifies a list of items that are required to complete the work. Should you wish to buy the materials yourself, you can place the order at any outlet of your choice and get it delivered at the Zenterior partner factory.
Can I change my requirement and choice of colors after I place the order?
Before you place the order all the requirements are fed to the system, and accordingly, the quote is generated. As you may know, Zenterior does not charge on sqft basis but based on the actual material that it takes to build the unit. We can change the requirements and the colors before the materials for the order are placed. Once ordered, we do not take any request for change.
What if the products are damaged on delivery?
Zenterior only wants the best for you and that is why we make sure that you receive your orders in good shape. However, should there be any instance where you receive any damaged item, it must be immediately flagged by calling us at +91 9788 999 996 or mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Zenterior will honor furniture returns/exchanges for items that have not undergone any physical abuse for the customer side.
Will Zenterior do false ceiling for my home?
Zenterior does not have its own false ceiling team. However, we can hook you up with the best teams in place to get it done. You can directly deal with the team in terms of requirement and the pricing.
Does Zenterior do Renovation?
Yes, we do the modular part of the renovation. The civil, plumbing and electrical part of the plumbing will be outsourced by Zenterior. You will be hooked up with the contractors and they will deal directly with you in terms of the work, timeline and the budget.
Do you offer loose furniture like sofa, dining table?
No, we offer only modular, fitted furniture.

Findings in Two New PolicyLab Studies Released
Published on in CHOP News
Skip to content
Published on in CHOP News
December 27, 2012 — Two new studies from PolicyLab at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia examine the effectiveness and feasibility of standardized developmental screening carried out in a primary care practice.
The first study showed that, given sufficient tools and training, standardized developmental screening is feasible and effective in a busy urban pediatric office, without the need to increase office staff. Patients with developmental delays were identified earlier and more often when these screenings were provided. However, standardized screening alone did not ensure children with identified developmental delays were connected with Early Intervention services.
The second study examined barriers to families completing the Early Intervention (EI) referral process. These included communication problems between parents and providers; parents' wanting to "wait and see" about developmental issues, and/or wanting to work with the child themselves to aid in development. Practical obstacles to accessing services were also a factor — parents had to be highly motivated to make it through the referral process. Finally, there was a perception among EI staff that families avoid evaluation because they mistake EI for child protective services.
Together, these complementary studies are instructive to both pediatricians and Early Intervention staff to ensure children with the greatest need are accessing the developmental supports that will lead to greater success into their school years and adulthood.

You can always find the perfect Best Beater on the market. There's a chance you won't have the resources, either in terms of time or money, to attempt and completely study each one. We've done the research as a consequence, and we're publishing our in-depth study of the Top 10 Best Beater below.
To help you in your search, we have completed this list of the Beater.

How we Picked the Top Beater
When looking to purchase a Beater, it's important to balance both price and performance. As more businesses enter the Beater industry, consumers will have greater quality and efficiency alternatives to choose from. Costliest Beater is not usually a recommendation for optimal value. There are many of budget-friendly options that don't skimp on features or comfort.
The best option for Beater is a brand known both for producing excellent goods and for providing exceptional service to its customers. Products from reputable manufacturers are made with meticulous attention to detail, and the brand behind them is always accessible to address customer concerns, make repairs, or issue a full refund.
Make sure the product is just what you're looking for before you click the "purchase now" button or add it to your shopping cart.
When picking a product, details are crucial. As such, they serve as a definition of the product's capabilities. Because there are numerous possibilities, it is essential to make the best choice possible.
To meet your needs, pick the Beater that was built to last. When evaluating various specs, the three most important aspects to think about are performance, features, and cost. All of these factors should be considered before making a decision. All of them taken into account will guarantee you the best return on investment.
There is a lot of excellent Beater out there, making selection tricky. Just by taking a look at the layout, one can make a call. The design of a product is affected by many factors, such as the materials used in production, the color palette, and the visual weight. This knowledge will aid you in finding a product that perfectly suits your needs.
When evaluating the effectiveness of a Beater, we took its steadiness and manageability into account. Take into account how well-balanced and manageable the thing is. We think about how the product will change our life and how it will make us feel to use it.
In today's information-rich marketplace, many consumers read reviews written by previous buyers before making a final decision. It makes sense; after all, who better to inform you about a product than individuals who have really tried it? Reading customer reviews might provide you insight into how other people felt about a product before you buy it. Similarly to how not everyone will find value in every product, not everyone will feel compelled to write a review. Evaluations from buyers are a reliable indicator of the satisfaction level of the product as a whole.
Nobody likes to be uncomfortable or constrained when doing what they love. When deciding whether to use a product, consider its Beater. There are various sorts of Beater that provide stability, control, and comfort. If you buy a fishing kayak, you don't want to spend the whole trip thinking about how badly you want to get out because your back hurts or your feet are tired.
The design and construction of a Beater, as well as the quality of the materials used, affect how long it will last. Choose the Beater that can hold up under stress, pressure, and damage. Make sure it is a standard size and shape that may be worn anywhere. This product's resilience will be appreciated by everybody who uses it, whether a stay-at-home parent or a building site laborer.
Quality and trustworthy Beater products are readily available to both genders today. The foundational principle shared by all Beater models is as follows. However, they have a wide range of audiences.
No one should be surprised by the fact that niche markets exist for particular goods. Imagine you had access to data showing you which products were purchased the most frequently by shoppers worldwide. You certainly can, and in fact we've already compiled the list for you. Browse our selection that seems to have something for people of all ages, both sexes, and all around the world.
Price, quality, and demand are the three most important factors. The cost must be reasonable in relation to your requirements, therefore this is an apparent consideration to make.
Considering the product's quality is essential because settling for mediocre items will prevent you from reaching your ultimate goal of acquiring the best product.
Last but not least, while it may not be immediately apparent, a product's popularity can be just as important as its price or quality in luring in new buyers.
There's a wide selection of Beater available in both style and cost. These days, it's tough to estimate how much something will cost. The price range is too wide for you to get an accurate estimate. Depending on the store, the price of a pair of pants might vary from $44 to $213. Additionally, other products such as the Beater.
Without a shadow of a doubt, our society is one that is expendable. We are constantly being barraged with advertisements for the newest and most cutting-edge products Beater. But are they worth the money that we will spend on them? If you make the right choices, some of them are! Some, but not nearly as much.
You need to find a fresh Beater. Let me know what you think about this. Forecasting future price movements is challenging. If there is no indication that output will decrease, it may be worthwhile to make a purchase now so that you may start reaping the benefits of your investment right away. If production is falling and prices are expected to climb, however, you may want to hold off on making a decision until the hype subsides.
If you're confused, I apologize. It's not a simple decision, I get that. But it's a major decision that will affect the rest of your life. If you're still confused whether sort of Beater is appropriate for you, I propose examining the characteristics and functionalities of the Beater described above. Each has perks and cons.
If you take a look at your current supply, you will know if you need or want a Beater. You should probably think twice before getting it because you don't really need it. You may sell the old one and put the money toward the new one if you just can't bear to part with it. Using this method to complete your project will be both enjoyable and straightforward.

Shedding crocodile tears over Benghazi
While Republicans cry crocodile tears over Benghazi, it's too bad they didn't have as much concern for the soldiers fighting in Afghanistan, which makes their outrage a little misleading.
The US troops fighting this "war on terror" are being sent into ambushes, and then left on their own to die after being surrounded by the enemy.
In 2002, soldiers were sent to the top of Takur Gar mountain in Afghanistan. They were told their was no resistance yet when they attempted to gain this vantage point the mountain top was controlled by the enemy. A horrendous fight ensued with many American soldiers dying in this ambush.
Congressional Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer in his book, tells of his own personal harrowing battle in Afghanistan. The troops were sent into an ambush in one of the fiercest battles in Afghanistan, and U.S.troops quickly became surrounded and trapped. Meanwhile, the ones giving the orders are the officers safely ensconced in the 'rear', in their air conditioned offices, they're not even on the field, they're miles away where a round or an RPG not only won't whiz by their heads, they won't even hear it.
From the "PBSNewsHour" and their interview with Jake Tapper and his book about Clinton Romesha, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. "In October of 2009, when nearly 300 Taliban fighters ripped through a lone American outpost on the eastern edges of Afghanistan, Romesha found himself and his army brothers in peril. Outnumbered and facing an enemy force surging through his camp, Romesha repeatedly put himself in the line of fire to muster his fellow soldiers and lead the charge that eventually forced the enemy back."
Three instances of horrific battles, where two of the battles produced Medal of Honor recipients. The war strategy in Afghanistan, the officers safely away in the rear making the decisions, not the officers fighting for their lives, is an outrage. Why are the men being trapped, why are they sent into ambushes, why are they out-numbered, why doesn't artillery arrive to help the stranded soldiers? Where are these questions about this poor leadership and the safe guarding of American lives on the battlefield? The silence is deafening.
If the saving of Americans lives is a concern, then all Americans lives count, not just the ones in the embassies. The soldiers are being set up and they are fighting with one hand tied behind their backs. Afghani civilians help ambush and kill American soldiers, without questions from the public or our politicians.
The only reason Benghazi is a concern is because the President can be hammered politically while holding up his Secretary of Defense nominee. Politicians shed manufactured crocodile tears over some American deaths, but not all. This is Outrageous!

Today at Nationals Park, Teddy Roosevelt did a nice impression of the home team Washington Nationals, staking a big lead and giving his cheering fans much hope, only to collapse in the home stretch.
For the home team, the collapse came at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies, who scored the game-tying and go-ahead runs on an 8th-inning fielding error by second baseman Anderson Hernandez.
The difference with Teddy was that the collapse was literal.
After taking a seemingly insurmountable lead out of the outfield turn, Teddy hit the home stretch, stopped and keeled over.
With Teddy on his knees and members of the Nat Pack rushing to his aid, George, Tom and Abe raced by, with Abe narrowly claiming the victory.
Congratulations to season ticket holders Jeff and Colleen Sherman, who were honored today as the "Mayors of Nats Town." Jeff and Colleen (and their fabulous monkey) never miss a game in section 128, and are great friends of the Let Teddy Win blog.
A well deserved honor!

On Saturday night at Nationals Park, Teddy took a lead into the right field turn, but lost that lead when he ran into the corner of the outfield and emerged with a toy kangaroo. Abe Lincoln dashed by and won the race as Teddy attempted to hop to the finish line. I missed this spectacle and can't quite explain the kangaroo. Does anybody have photos?

The Situation of Social Justice
Posted by John Jost on February 17, 2012
This book review appeared earlier this week in the American Scientist:
THE FAIR SOCIETY: The Science of Human Nature and the Pursuit of Social Justice. Peter Corning. xiv + 237 pp. University of Chicago Press, 2011. $27.50.
After decades of exclusion from meaningful social and political discourse, themes of social justice are making a serious comeback. One can point to several recent examples from the disciplines of political science, economics and philosophy, including, respectively, Larry M. Bartels's Unequal Democracy: The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age (Princeton University Press, 2008), Amartya Sen's The Idea of Justice (Harvard University Press, 2009) and Derek Parfit's massive two-volume tome On What Matters (Oxford University Press, 2011). These books have arrived to coincide with the apparent awakening of the sense of injustice in popular movements from Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street.
Peter Corning, who was trained as a biologist and is now the director of the Institute for the Study of Complex Systems, joins the conversation at just the right time. His most recent book, The Fair Society, was published in early 2011, and—like Joseph Stiglitz's Vanity Fair article "Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%"—it has turned out to be remarkably prescient. Several chapters read like an annotated list of complaints made by the most well-informed campers in Zuccotti Park last fall. Corning notes, for example, that in the United States, "since the 1980s, some 94 percent of the total increase in personal income has gone to the top 1 percent of the population"; at least 25 million Americans (17.2 percent of the workforce) are presently struggling with unemployment or drastic underemployment; "close to 50 million Americans experienced 'food deprivation' (hunger) at various times in 2009"; and as many as 75 million Americans (25 percent of the population) live in poverty. Adding insult to injury, the top 10 percent of income earners in the United States live 4.5 years longer on average than the bottom 10 percent.
In a nutshell, Corning's thesis is that human nature has evolved in such a way as to create a natural revulsion to states of affairs like these. In the opening chapters, he recounts various evolutionary arguments for the notion that our hunter-gatherer ancestors possessed a deep sense of fairness and developed "a pattern of egalitarian sharing" in which "dominance behaviors were actively resisted by coalitions of other group members." He draws eclectically on studies of baboons, descriptive anthropological accounts of hunter-gatherer societies and, in a few cases, the fossil record. With this biological framework in place, Corning endeavors to show that the capitalist system as currently practiced in the United States and elsewhere is manifestly unfair. His beef is not solely with laissez-faire capitalism, however; he claims that socialism is just as unfair, although in different ways, and that efforts to develop a "third way" that avoids the excesses of capitalism and socialism have been "anemic" and "unable to confront the status quo" of class-based inequality. In place of these failed institutions, he proposes a new type of society founded on a biosocial contract, which he describes as a "truly voluntary bargain among various (empowered) stakeholders over how the benefits and obligations in a society are to be apportioned among the members" that is "grounded in our growing understanding of human nature and the basic purpose of a human society." Such a contract, he writes, must be focused on fairness and the obligation to address the "shared survival and reproductive needs" of our species.
Corning draws most heavily on evolutionary biology, behavioral economics and anthropology, but experimental social psychology would also back him up—and quite a bit more directly. Indeed, some of his ideas seem to have been inspired by the work of Morton Deutsch, who suggested, in a well-known 1975 article in the Journal of Social Issues, that human beings are finely attuned to three major principles of justice: equity, equality and need. Corning offers a slightly modified list. He defines fairness in terms of equality (in the satisfaction of basic needs, not necessarily in outcomes), equity (or merit) and reciprocity. The core thesis of The Fair Society was also anticipated by Melvin Lerner, who argued in 1977 that a universal "justice motive" compels individuals to pursue fairness goals to rectify unfairness and—only if these routes are blocked—to engage in victim-blaming and other defensive strategies to maintain the desired belief that we live in a just world (even if we do not). Although Lerner was perhaps more sensitive than Corning to the perverse consequences of caring passionately about the appearance of justice (for instance, blaming victims of rape, poverty or illness for their misfortune so as not to give up cherished illusions about personal deservingness), the two writers share the assumption that justice concerns are an essential part of human nature.
Anyone who is capable of critical perspicacity with regard to capitalist economic systems and practices is obliged to agree with Corning's observation that the massive upswing in economic inequality over the past 30 years is at odds with nearly every conception of justice since Plato and, in that sense, is difficult (if not impossible) to justify on normative philosophical grounds (although some conservative libertarians have tried). Let us also grant that humans are prepared to experience moral outrage in the face of unjustified inequality (or gross inequity). Even capuchin monkeys show "inequity aversion," refusing to participate in games in which other monkeys are given greater rewards for equal effort, as Sarah F. Brosnan and Frans de Waal showed in a 2003 article in Nature. Corning connects such observations to the present socioeconomic situation, writing, "Defection is the likely response to an exploitative, asymmetrical interaction," and "No wonder there were protests and even riots at WTO [World Trade Organization] meetings."
There is only one problem, and it is one that has given social scientists fits: What took so long? Why have U.S. citizens, for instance, put up with starkly increasing inequality and the kind of economic policies that only a dyslexic Robin Hood could embrace? There is a joke, often attributed to economist Paul A. Samuelson, which goes, "Economists have correctly predicted nine of the last five recessions." I would say that sociologists, political scientists and others who study protest movements suffer from a similar problem, to wit: "Social scientists have correctly predicted nine of the last five revolutions." The great political theorist Ted Robert Gurr, for instance, wrote in 1970 that "Men are quick to aspire beyond their social means and quick to anger when those means prove inadequate, but slow to accept their limitations." If this were true in a deep psychological sense, rebellion would be far more common than acquiescence, but this is simply not the case.
My own, admittedly incomplete answer to the social scientists' conundrum has emphasized a human motivation that is frequently on a collision course with Lerner's justice motive and Corning's biosocial contract, namely, system-justification motivation: the (typically nonconscious) desire to defend, justify and rationalize existing systems, institutions and widespread practices, even if (from a more objective point of view) they violate standards of justice, including equity, equality and need. Corning grants that our sense of fairness can be "easily subverted," quotes Dr. Pangloss's rosy rationalizations in Voltaire's satire Candide, and touches—but only lightly—on beliefs and ideologies that blunt the sense of injustice. To my mind, the problem of system justification in U.S. public opinion about economic inequality (especially among political conservatives) is addressed far more satisfactorily in chapter 5 of Bartels's Unequal Democracy.
Despite this conspicuous omission, much of what Corning has written is both important and accurate. The Fair Society is wide ranging and covers many areas of scholarship in a useful, integrative, insightful manner. It is an edifying book—not least because it offers a tremendous collection of memorable quotations from justice scholars over the centuries—more than a groundbreaking one. One could reasonably wonder whether his proposed biosocial model, which draws heavily on aspects of stakeholder capitalism and closely resembles that of Swedish society, is really enough of an improvement over the socialist and capitalist systems he so effectively lambastes in earlier chapters of the book. Even if one accepts Corning's goal, there are huge obstacles standing in the way of its implementation. He recognizes, quite correctly, that "conservatives with vested interests in the status quo will no doubt dismiss the idea of a Fair Society as just another utopian scheme," but it is far from clear how proponents of social and economic justice will ever overcome conservative skepticism. "There must be a broad political consensus that social justice is a core social value," he writes, but this is precisely the problem; such a consensus does not exist. "How do the roughly 70 percent of us who support the principle of fairness and social justice overcome the formidable power of the 30 percent who largely control our politics and our wealth and who will fiercely defend the existing system, and their self-interest?" he asks. How, indeed? The difficulty, in my view, is that no one, including Corning himself, offers a convincing answer to this question.
At this moment in history, when our problems are so much clearer than their solutions, it is a genuine contribution to offer clearheaded analysis and moral encouragement to take much-needed steps in the direction of social and economic justice. I admire Corning's attempt to develop a normative theory of justice that is "built on an empirical foundation"—that is, knowledge gleaned from the social and behavioral sciences, including aggregate sociological data from research on social indicators. Along very similar lines, psychologist Aaron Kay and I have advocated "naturalizing" the study of social justice, thereby integrating descriptive and normative insights gleaned from psychology, social science, philosophy, law and other disciplines.
Given the thick walls that separate academic scholarship from popular concern and policy outcomes, it is probably too much to expect rapid implementation of the specific recommendations made in The Fair Society, such as these, which address taxation: "Eliminate property tax deductions for second (vacation) homes, tax capital gains at the same graduated rate as earned income, and eliminate the expanded home equity line of credit loan provisions." Nevertheless, one hopes that those who wish to occupy places of power on behalf of the 99 percent will heed Corning's sage advice about what to do and—just as important—what not to do in planning for a better, more just society.

BOSTON (AP) — One week into his NHL career, Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton is already a fan favorite in Boston.
Zdeno Chara scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, Hamilton had two assists, and Tuukka Rask made 24 saves in the Bruins' 4-2 win over the New York Islanders on Friday night.
Patrice Bergeron, Shawn Thornton and Gregory Campbell also scored for Boston, which improved to 3-0-1.
But it was the 19-year old Hamilton who brought chants of "Doug-ie! Doug-ie!" echoing around TD Garden late in the game.
"I was just trying not to fumble the puck," said Hamilton, who broke into a smile while surrounded by reporters as he sat at his locker. "It's obviously nice to hear the support. It's pretty cool."
When the season started, Boston had six games to decide to keep him or send him back to juniors. The experiment might be complete.
"I think that's why our guys drafted him," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "Those are the kinds of things we saw in him. We're pretty happy with what he's done."
Hamilton assisted on Boston's first and final goals of the game.
"It's great," Rask said of the chants. "He's such a great player. He's just going to get better."
Hamilton isn't even over the fact that he is playing in the NHL.
"It feels so weird being out there instead of watching it," he said.
New York's Keith Aucoin had his first career two-goal game, and has scored three times in two games.
Rick DiPietro, playing his first game since Dec. 3, 2011, after last season was cut short by a groin injury, made 23 saves for the Islanders.
"I felt good," said the former Boston University star, who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2000 NHL draft. "It's always exciting playing back here in Boston, and I always look forward to playing in this building. I was excited."
New York (2-2) played the second of five straight on the road after scoring six unanswered goals to beat Toronto 7-4 on Thursday.
"For the most part we were up to the challenge, but couldn't get it done," Islanders coach Jack Capuano said.
The game featured a matchup of the NHL's best two penalty-killing units this season. The Bruins have turned aside all 17 short-handed situations, and the Islanders improved to 13 for 13.
Rask has played in all of Boston's games.
Boston took a 3-2 lead 7:07 into the third when Milan Lucic circled from behind the net and fed Chara, who fired a wrist shot past DiPietro's glove inside the left post from the high slot.
Bergeron scored on a breakaway with 6:27 to play, shifting a few times before tucking in a forehand shot.
Chara hit the left post in the closing minute with a backhand shot from the blue line after the Islanders pulled DiPietro for an extra skater.
The Bruins grabbed a 1-0 lead 4:52 into the game. Thornton, benched Wednesday for a good portion of Boston's 4-3 overtime loss at the New York Rangers after a giveaway led to a goal, backhanded in the rebound of Hamilton's shot from the left point.
New York tied it on Aucoin's goal midway into the period. Aucoin came charging into the slot and redirected Colin McDonald's pass from behind the net past Rask.
Aucoin got to an errant clearing attempt in the high slot and unloaded a slap shot past Rask's glove to give the Islanders a 2-1 edge midway into the second, but the Bruins tied it less than 4 minutes later. Campbell controlled a rebound in front and put the puck past DiPietro.
NOTES: New York LW Matt Moulson played in his 250th straight game. He hasn't missed a game with the Islanders. … Boston D Dennis Seidenberg, who missed two games because of an undisclosed lower body injury, returned. … The Islanders will play at Winnipeg on Sunday. … The Bruins are off until Monday when they play at Carolina. … Boston is 15-3-1 in its last 19 games against New York. … Boston went 0 for 3 on the power play, dropping to 1 for 17 this season. … It was the second straight night a team from New York played at TD Garden. The NBA's Knicks beat the Celtics on Thursday.

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Lauren of Upper East Side Chronicle picked Four Star Chocolate Bread Pudding on page 410 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
I've never made bread pudding! I've devoured it in restaurants but never made it! What a delight that Lauren selected this recipe.
Only after 30 minutes did I realize I probably didn't need the extra bread as the bread is a super sponge that absorbed most of the custard mixture. (See, I told you I haven't made bread pudding before...)
I brought it into work and suggested a 10 second zap in the microwave. Those 10 seconds made all the difference in the world. It softened the custard a bit and just made the whole bread pudding sing.
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! And look for the recipe on Lauren's Upper East Side Chronicle blog or page 410 of Dorie's book, Baking. Also, did you know Dorie Greenspan is on Twitter? Follow the most wonderful cookbook author online!
