OKI love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
Listening to Charlton Griffin's reading of Richmond Lattimore's translation of The Iliad was a wonderful experience.
Griffin is good at modifying the pitch and tone of his voice to evoke the different genders and ages and moods and agendas of the various characters. He brings the epic to life. He even makes fascinating the 90-minute introduction by scholar Herbert J. Muller. And the sound effects (ravens cawing over a battlefield) and Greek mood music introducing and concluding the 24 books of the epic immersed me in its world.
As for Homer's story, an epic focused on a short slice of a long war, a tragedy with plenty of humor, it is rewardingly rich, depicting the appalling heroism and horror of war, the full range of human nature (from bravery to cowardice, brutality to mercy, destruction to creation, and hatred to love), the richness of ancient Greek culture, the pettiness and power of the gods, and the mortality and wonder of life. Among the most impressive moments are Hector's meeting with his wife and baby before going out to fight, Hephaestus' crafting of a shield with the heavens and earth and all of human endeavor animated upon it, and Achilles' inability to embrace the ghost of Patroclus in a dream. I hope the following quotation will give an idea of the excellence of Lattimore's translation and the depth of Homer's vision:
As is the generation of leaves, so is that of humanity,
The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber
burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning.
So one generation of men will grow while another dies.
In conclusion, I thoroughly savored this audio version of The Iliad, often smiling with appreciation for Homer's story, Lattimore's translation, and Griffin's reading. I highly recommend it.
I eagerly purchased this audiobook of T. H. White???s complete The Once and Future King, because for a long time Audible only had the individual books available. And I loved the first four books, which begin with the halcyon fantasy of The Sword in the Stone, in which the boy Arthur (???Wart???) is educated by an anachronistic Merlyn. The scenes describing the daily life of a medieval castle during different seasons are vivid and beautiful, while those recounting Wart???s fantastic adventures and transformations into various animals are imaginative, suspenseful, and humorous. White loved and respected flora and fauna (even snakes), and this first book is encyclopedic and fantastic, dense and rich, absorbing and moving.
From the second book, The Queen of Air and Darkness, which opens in the cold north as Queen Morgause boils a black cat alive while her four sons are telling the story of their grandmother???s rape by Arthur???s father, begins the increasingly dark movement of the novel, centered on the tragedy caused by Arthur???s family history and the romantic triangle between himself, Guenevere, and Lancelot (The Ill-Made Knight). In the 2nd through 4th books White most closely follows Malory, though he also moves the era forward from the 11th to the 15th century and empathically imagines how medieval men and women felt and thought with modern psychological insight. At the same time, he writes plenty of joie de vivre, questing and combating knights, and fascinating details about medieval life (food, fashion, feudalism, etc.).
The novel really concludes with the 4th book (The Candle in the Wind) as the last battle between Arthur and Mordred is about to begin, but this audiobook then adds The Book of Merlyn, which may be good for completists, but which I found disappointing, as on the eve of the last battle Merlyn takes his former pupil off for a night of anachronistic political and philosophical debate with Badger and company about why humans wage war and what might be done to prevent it. Apart from Arthur changing into an ant and a goose to experience two different social systems, there is little ???story??? in this last book: too little Arthurian Matter and too much Whiteian Musing.
Jason Neville does a marvelous job reading the long work, effortlessly giving different characters distinctive voices and personalities without over doing it (so that, for example, his female characters sound like human beings rather than like a man imitating ???women???). And his King Pellinore reminds me of John Gielgud.
I recommend this audiobook for anyone interested in the Matter of Britain or philosophical and well-written fantasy.
I really enjoyed Herodotus' The Histories, about the background and main events of the epic wars between the ancient Persians and Greeks (translated by George Rawlinson). I was hooked by "the Father of History's" enthusiastic accounts of interesting historical and cultural information and impressed by his appealing balance of objectivity and subjectivity. And I savored his many digressions amplifying the historical context, as well as his detailed accounts of the different ancient exotic cultures (like the Egyptians shaving their eyebrows when their housecats died or the Scythians making capes from the scalps of their fallen enemies), which were in a sense all similar in their violence, heroism, treachery, brutality, ethnocentrism, and superstitious following of prodigies and omens and oracles. We haven't changed so much in 2000 plus years???
Despite some listeners complaining about the reader, Bernard Mayes, I quickly came to enjoy his handling of The Histories, easily imagining myself listening to an elderly, experienced, and decent Herodotus. I appreciated Mayes' subtle changes in tone to express a variety of moods, from Xerxes' waxing wroth at some unpleasant advice and the Athenians getting peeved by the Spartans worrying that they would ally with the Persians, to the suspenseful accounts of battles like those at Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis that helped decide the course of world history. I found Mayes always to be right on task, always speaking with effective clarity and rhythm, always perfectly expressing Herodotus' humor, disbelief, admiration, and criticism of his historical subjects.
The only flaw in the audiobook is the too frequent, sudden flash of a kind of static, which distracts from the overall experience to the point that I'm giving what should be a five star audiobook four stars. I highly recommend it.
There are books of the same chemical composition as dynamite. The only difference is that a piece of dynamite explodes once, whereas a book explodes a thousand times. ― Yevgeny Zamyatin

Adult Studies & Post Bac
The center for adult studies offers support and services for nontraditional students including a quick-admit procedure and day and evening classes.
Nondegree is an academic term for "not formally accepted into a degree program". It is a great way to start your college career or to gain personal and professional growth. As a nondegree student you take the same courses as everyone else and you earn the same college credit.
You may attempt a total of 18 credits (usually about 6 courses) as a nondegree student. After that, you will have to apply for admission. If you're a college graduate and have no intention of pursuing another undergraduate degree, you can take as many courses as you want. Nondegree students can take a maximum of 11 credits each semester.
You can be a nondegree student if:
- You have graduated from high school or received your GED three or more years ago.
- You have fewer than 30 credits from another college or university with at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA).
- You have earned a college degree and want to take courses for professional or personal development.
- You are a high school student with a letter of recommendation from your guidance counselor or principal.
West Chester University recognizes and awards credit for life/learning experience that can accelerate a student's degree by as much as a full year.
Are you self-motivated, have prior knowledge, and/or are willing to study independently? You can take a year off the time it takes to earn your degree and save up to $4,000 in tuition! West Chester University has three options available for you to earn college credit:
- Credit by exam ($84 fee): If you feel you already know the material taught in a course, you may demonstrate this knowledge by applying for credit by exam. This is processed through the Registrar's Office
- College Level Examination Program (CLEP) ($84 fee): Demonstrate knowledge gained independently or learn new material through this structured program. You can complete most of your general education requirements through CLEP. Contact Registrar's Office.
- Portfolio Assessment (one-half the tuition of the course): You may choose to develop a portfolio demonstrating competency rather than take an exam. The portfolio is developed for a specific course, demonstrating and documenting your learning experience relative to the course. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com
For additional information about these options, contact the Office of Graduate Studies and Extended Education at 610-436-2458 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Nondegree Registration Form (Undergraduate)
The Senior Citizen Policy
The Senior Citizen Program allows retired Pennsylvania residents to attend West Chester University tuition free on a SPACE-AVAILABLE BASIS. To qualify, the student must be retired, at least 60 years old, and have been a Pennsylvania resident for at least a year. Students may enroll as either degree or nondegree students and may audit or take courses for credit. The program does not include internships, independent study, individualized instruction, student teaching, thesis, seminar, or any similar course requiring extra faculty compensation for the additional enrollment. All scheduling information is available in the Office of Graduate Studies.
Senior citizen students may not register prior to the beginning of classes. They must attend the first meeting of the class(es) for which they wish to register and obtain the instructor's signature on their schedule, indicating there is space available in the class. They then return their signed schedule, along with a signed Senior Citizen fee waiver form and signed audit form if they wish to audit, to the Office of Graduate Studies. The office then schedules the student and submits the fee waiver form to the Office of Financial Aid.

Small dresser

About Me Budget Shopper
Best Uses
Comments about South Shore Cakao Kids 5 Drawer Wood Chest in Chocolate Finish:
I bought this dresser to go with the matching bed and nightstand. I was quite surprised that it turned out to be only about 4 feet high. I have short-statured children, so this is actually a benefit for me since they can reach all the drawers, but I imagine it would be a problem for most. The drawers have plastic drawer glides, and the drawers are really tight, so they stick. I'm hoping over time it loosens up without damaging the pull action long term. This is a decent deal for the money, but it isn't high quality, so if you're looking for a high quality item for a cheap price, don't buy this. The highest quality item in the entire set is the drawer pulls.
I would definitly buy this product again

I added an archive of my articles & commentary (which I'm still updating to reflect my writing over the past few years, most of which is accessible here, here, here, and here), as well as a few other pieces of content from my old pre-2012 site. More soon....
The new year hasn't even finished its first full week, and your rights have already taken a beating -- twice.
I'll be speaking at a conference on civil liberties and indefinite detention at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, CT. Details at http://www.facebook.com/events/132265960257750
Last Thursday's "Party for Your Rights" at Mellow Mushroom proved to be a huge success, generating nearly $1,000 to expand the Bill of Rights Defense Committee's efforts to defend and restore civil rights and civil liberties in the new year.
I'll be featuring at Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse (800 St. Paul St., at the corner of St. Paul & Madison) in Baltimore, MD on Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Details posted online at http://www.facebook.com/events/499801873383860/

acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) Disabling condition occurring in 1 percent of all polio cases in which limbs affected by polio become limp and disfigured. AFP is also a symptom of other maladies; therefore, stool samples must be collected in a timely manner and sent to a laboratory to confirm or rule out polio as a cause. During surveillance , volunteers survey communities to discover if anyone is developing the condition to determine the success of polio vaccine penetration in those communities.
certification Global verification that polio has been eradicated; certification is Rotary's top priority. Through surveillance , health officials determine whether a region can be certified as being polio-free after at least three consecutive years of no transmission of poliovirus.
club PolioPlus committee Appointed by club president to promote and support polio eradication activities at the club level. Focus of committee will vary depending on the presence or absence of polio in the club's locality as well as the district's and nation's stage in the polio eradication process.
cold chain The series of storage and distribution activities and related equipment (refrigerators, insulated boxes, etc.) that maintains the oral polio vaccine at the appropriate temperature.
district PolioPlus subcommittee Responsible for supporting Rotary's commitment to polio eradication and for encouraging participation in PolioPlus activities by all Rotarians in the district. Focus of subcommittee will vary depending on the presence or absence of polio in the district and the district's and nation's stage in the polio eradication process.
global laboratory network Consists of 145 accredited laboratories that follow standardized procedures for detecting polioviruses from stool samples collected from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases. Testing also aims to distinguish polio as a cause of AFP from diseases other than poliovirus. See also surveillance
Global Polio Eradication Initiative Partnership of Rotary International , the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control that supports global immunization activities; formed in 1988 when the 169 member states of the World Health Assembly adopted a resolution to eradicate polio globally.

monovalent oral polio vaccine Oral polio vaccine that focuses on only one of the three types of poliovirus. Because of its higher rate of efficacy, the monovalent oral polio vaccine is used strategically to respond to outbreaks of a single type of polio or in immunization campaigns where only one type of polio is known to circulate.
mop-up campaign Implemented in a country when the final pockets of poliovirus transmission have been identified with certification-standard surveillance. The campaigns involve door-to-door immunization in high-risk districts where the virus is known or suspected to still be circulating.
National Immunization Day (NID) Complements and supplements routine immunization activities. An NID is a massive, coordinated campaign that aims to interrupt the circulation of poliovirus by administering the oral vaccine to every child in the highest risk age group (normally under the age of five).

In addition, those who have been immunized with this vaccine shed the vaccine-virus for a short period of time thereby creating a "herd immunity" within the local population.
polio Short for poliomyelitis , the crippling disease caused by the poliovirus. See also acute flaccid paralysis ; polio endemic

The Human Rights Clinic exposes students to the practice of law in the international and cross-cultural context of human rights litigation and advocacy.
Through an intensive critical seminar, students examine the actors, subjects, and tools of the human rights movement, as well as critiques coming from left and right. Specifically, the seminar considers the evolution of the human rights movement, how to locate litigation in human rights work, the difficulties in applying 'traditional' human rights methodology beyond the civil and political rights context, the developing human rights movement in the United States, and economic issues that arise in human rights norms and analysis.
The critical seminar lays out an analytic framework for much of the course, and it is combined with a skills seminar, which introduces students to specially-tailored exercises to familiarize them with international human rights practice. In addition, guest speakers will cover both substantive themes in human rights and provide guidance in skills-oriented exercises.
In the seminar, students participate in exercises and discussions that develop fundamental lawyering and advocacy skills including:
To bridge theory and practice, the Human Rights Clinic provides students with hands-on experience working on active human rights cases and projects. Students apply and test the skills-training and critical examinations imparted through classroom instruction and simulations in the context of real-world advocacy. Working in partnership with experienced attorneys and institutions engaged in human rights activism, both in the United States and abroad, students contribute to effecting positive change locally and globally as they hone their professional skills.
Clinic projects cover the full range of human rights advocacy, though in particular, projects will focus on:
Duration: One-Semester Clinic (Fall 2012)
Credits: 6
Enrollment*: For Fall 2012, the clinic will accept 6-8 J.D. (2L & 3L) students and 1-2 LL.M. students.
Prerequisites: Commitment to social justice and human rights advocacy. Completion or concurrent enrollment in a basic human rights or international law course is expected.
Time Requirements: This clinic entails a very substantial time commitment in addition to the time spent preparing for and attending class. Clinic class meets for one hour and fifty minutes, twice weekly. Students are expected to spend approximately 15-18 hours per week on clinic project/case work.

All Hydropool Swim Spas include a built in ice bucket to keep your favourite drinks cool and convenient. Melted ice is automatically drained from the ice bucket by means of a jet in the hot tub eliminating any need to worry about water build up.
Hydropool Swim Spas uniquely designed adjustable "Water Fall Jet" releases the body's natural endorphins that act as natural pain killers and help to relieve stress, headaches and pain. Simply turn the dedicated control valve that is located within arms reach of the seat and adjust the flow as desired.
Knockdown Furniture Grade Cabinet Above ground installations enjoy the option of our 5/8" clear, kiln-dried western cedar cabinet with optional matching steps. This package offers sheer beauty and hardy protection from the elements as well as full service- friendly access to all working parts thanks to its sectional design.
These patented jets deliver a strong non-turbulent water current that creates a comfortable wide stream. This wide stream makes it easy to remain in the center of the current, helping the swimmer to stay in sync and therefore creating a more effective and enjoyable swim. The flow can be adjusted incrementally by turning the individual diverters from a gentle current to a powerful stream. The lower swim jet provides buoyancy for the user as well as added resistance when needed.
No obstructions, no backwash, no turning. Designed with no obstructions, protruding benches or steps in the swim area, our swim spas allow even the tallest swimmer to stretch out and swim to their heart's content with no fear of kicking a bench or step. This is also useful for proper access and room for caregivers or therapists providing rehabilitation programs. Our unique tank design provides a wide, deep and even flowing swim channel that creates a natural return for the water to flow downward and away from the swimmer eliminating any back flow. Other manufacturers do not take this into account in their tank and propulsion systems leaving the back flow effect to impede a smooth swim and displacing the swimmer from the swim lane.
Wider swim lane allowing a swimmer to stay in syncOur swim spa's unique wide stream swim nozzles project a strong, non-turbulent water current that emulates a flowing river current which is both wider and deeper making it more enjoyable and easier to swim in. This is unlike most other swim-in-place pools where their "fire hydrant-like" air/water flow can force you to swim wide of the current resulting a turbulent, uncomfortable swim. Our patented flat wide mouth swim jets provide an industry leading current flow in one direction — giving you consistently smoother water and a better overall swim experience.
The adjustable flow allows for an energizing swim from beginner to expert For swimmers of all skill levels, our incredibly versatile swim spa is equipped to work with a beginner. As that swimmer progresses in ability simply adjust the intensity of swim current so they can swim at their own pace. The current in the swim lane can be dialed in and adjusted to suit different swimming strokes or levels of intensity.
Hydropool Swim Spas are fully self-supporting, however, a set of steel support legs are utilized underneath the lip on aboveground or crib style installations in order to keep the long edges straight. Many of the competitor's swim spas do not offer a steel support package and this can lead to bowing once the swim spa is filled with water. The steel support legs completely eliminate any possibility of the swim spa bowing.
Hydropool's patented flat wide mouth swim jets create a smooth water flow up to 36" (91 cm) deep in the swim lane. This channel of water creates a flat uplifting force that allows you to swim continuously up to 5 mph (8 KPH) without turning thus, allowing a degree of resistance that is adjustable to your pace. The unique shell design of our swim spas gives you a long and wide swim area and you can choose from the original AquaPlay, our basic swim tank, to our AquaTrainer models. These models include the all-new Self-Cleaning iX that is perfect for the serious swimmer/athlete in training, and the Self-Cleaning fX model that is a complete aquatic fitness and fun center for the entire family.
Hydropool's optional Universal two-tier step makes entering and exiting your hot tub safe and easy. Available in maintenance-free Everlast, the matching two-tier step complements the exterior cabinetry and completes most hot tub installations.

A Serenity Hot Tub boasts a wide variety of stainless steel jet sizes and types. From powerful wide body streams to penetrating finger tip massage, each jet individually adjusts to deliver optimum hydrotherapy. Every body is different, each with it's own unique needs and hydrotherapy requirements. Sometimes a gentle, wide-body massage is desired for general relaxation and stress relief, other times a penetrating high velocity flow is needed to invigorate and relieve tired or aching muscles. Hydropool's unique "Versa Massage" combines the benefits of all of the best jet sizes, types and designs available, ensuring you receive the customized massage just right for you. With the simple touch of a button, the swing of the Hydropool diverter valve, or turn of the adjustable jets, your hot tub can be converted from a gentle soothing all-body massage to an invigorating, penetrating massage specifically targeted to the muscles of your choice. Full force, gentle massage, or somewhere in between… the Hydropool "Versa Massage" gives you the choice to select your desired level of intensity.
Hydropool's Air Therapy system injects millions of tiny air bubbles into the hot tub gently massaging every part of your body. Where many other manufacturers no longer offer this option, Hydropool continues to offer this option on all models. When the air therapy option is ordered, an upgraded top side control is supplied in order to accommodate the option.
The Hydropool AquaTrainer Swim Spa comes complete with a Dual Speed 4 HP Pump, 2 Single Speed 5 HP Pumps, 5.5 KW electric Heater, Servicing Isolation Valves and a Filtration Timer. The equipment is preinstalled on a synthetic equipment base and easily connects to the swim spa once it is placed in its final installation position.
The Adjustable Thigh Jets utilize diverted water from turning down the Wide Stream Jets. These jets are perfect for a lower body massage and are ideal for light resistance and water aerobic exercises.
This option comes with two laminar jets positioned to cascade into the hot tub when the jets are on. This feature is a great entertainment option especially at night with the back lit stream.
The world's easiest swimspa to maintain is… the Hydropool Self-Cleaning Swimspa. The technologically advanced self-cleaning system, simultaneously removes surface debris and cleans the bottom of the hot tub with it's built-in floor vacuum. this is why self-cleaning matters... Worrying about water care is a constant issue when maintaining a traditional swimspa, but with the Hydropool Self-Cleaning System, we take your worries away. The Self-Cleaning System cleanses 100% of the water every 45 minutes. That's an incredible 8 times in 2 hours! Only a Hydropool has this wonderful technology in place with its consumers in mind. The Self-Cleaning System takes the worry and work away, with a hands free system to safeguard you and your family. 1) Skimmer: Water from the surface of the swimspa is drawn into the high flow skimmer by the swimspa pump. This action skims the surface free of any floating debris and oils. 2) Pre-filter:The pre-filter traps large particles and removes them prior to entering the swimspa pump and heating system. 3) floor vacuum: Dirt sinks to the bottom of the swimspa and is drawn into strategically placed vacuum holes by means of the hot tub pump. 4) Mazzei injected ozone: When mixed with water, ozone is a highly effective oxidizer that assists in removing unwanted contaminates from the swimspa water. 5) Pressurized micro filtration: Almost all of the water drawn by the pump is forced through a 10 micron cartridge filter under pressure. The micro filter removes particles before sending the water back into the swimspa. 6) automatic chemical feeder:Before the water re-enters the swimspa, the water is filtered and is then treated with chlorine or bromine that ensures that the hot tub wateris safe and bacteria free.
Hydropool Serenity Hot Tubs are available with our maintenance-free everlast cabinetry. This premium quality cabinetry is installed onto a sturdy wood substructure for the ultimate in durability and is embossed for the most realistic look possible. In the unlikely event that you require access to the hot tub plumbing or equipment, all four panels are removable for easy service access. Choose from Natural Cedar, Driftwood or Espresso finishes.
Provides unsurpassed ease and convenience in hot tub water sanitation. The system results in automatic crystal clean water allowing your filter and water balancing products to do their job without adding chlorine or bromine. The Salt Water Bromine System reduces the amount of work required to maintain your hot tub making the world's easiest hot tub to maintain just that much easier. 1) added convenience 2) enhanced water quality 3) extended water life
When mixed with water, ozone is a highly effective oxidizer that assists in removing unwanted contaminates from the hot tub water.
Four Stage Acrylic, Polymer and Balsawood Shell A special cross-link .187" acrylic provides a colorfast and durable finish. Vinyl Ester is then used to waterproof the entire structure and permanently adheres to the acrylic. Several layers of polyester based fibreglass are applied to make a virtually indestructible hull. A balsawood core is installed to strengthen the entire structure allowing it to move and flex to the constant forces created by the water movement.

There is an easy way to find out just take our quiz...
" We don't use our hot tub just for entertainment. My husband has a bad back, and it really makes a difference for him to sit in the tub and relax. It loosens up his back muscles. Our kids get in and love it, but they're small. We don't let them use it alone, and, for them, the spa's a short-term deal. My husband and I like to stay in longer. It's beautiful. The steam comes up and keeps my face and head warm. We have a deep model, so our shoulders stay under the water. We use it all winter. "

Residence Hall Regulations & PoliciesThe complete Guide to Housing & Residence Life is available by clicking here. Free at last, away from the watchful eyes of parents and ready to make your way in the world on your own! Every society or community has a set of regulations for behavior so that its members can live in peaceful co-existence. Residence halls and university campuses are no different. Sometimes students feel that now they have moved away from home, they will not have any rules. If you honestly feel that way, you may want to reconsider living on campus. If you think you can live within the framework we've found successful for our campus, we think you've made a great choice we and look forward to our time together. Our intent is to make your college living experience as pleasant and rewarding as possible. The pages that follow should be used as a reference about the rules and regulations you and your fellow students will be required to abide by when you are living on campus. So please, read on. Residence Hall RegulationsPlease keep in mind that the following are only some of the University policies for our residence halls and there are many rules that are unique to each building. It is the student's responsibility to become familiar with all University and Housing & Residence Life policies. This information is contained in the Residence Life Guide and Student Handbook, which are available from the RD and the Department of Housing and Residence Life in Newbury Hall. Prohibited Items
This list is not intended to be all-inclusive, and additional items may be added to the list as they become identified. The University reserves the right to limit the usage of any appliance on an as-needed basis.
Prohibited Activities
Alcohol Policy
Every resident is encourage to read the WCSU comprehensive, campus wide Alcohol Policy. Bag Check Policy: Students entering the building with bags (backpacks, bags, or other) may also be asked to show their bags at the information desk so that staff may check for alcohol or other non-permitted substances or materials. The entire policy may be read by clicking the Bag Check Policy. Weapons Policy Employees or others who have a concern about personal safety are encouraged to contact the Associate Vice President for Public Safety, the University Police Department, or the Human Resource Office. * "... any slung shot, air rifle, BB gun, blackjack, sandbag, metal or brass knuckles, or any dirk knife, or any switch knife, or any knife having an automatic spring release device by which a blade is released from the handle, having a blade over one and one-half inches in length, or stiletto, or any knife the edged portion of the blade of which is four inches or over in length, or any martial arts weapon or electronic defense weapon, as defined in section 53a-3, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument ...". Smoking & Tobacco Smoking areas near the residence halls have been identified by your hall councils and IRHA. Benches and receptacles have been placed near these areas. Containers for disposal of smoking materials have been provided, and you are asked to make use of them. University policy dictates that you must be at least 15 feet away from any residence hall while smoking. Guest Policies If you'd like you may sign your guest out, relinquishing any responsibility for them or their actions. Guest who appear to have stayed in your room more than three days will be considered living illegally in your room and will not be permitted to continue to sign into the building. You may also not sign in more than two guests per resident. For more details about guest policies, please refer to your Housing & Residence Life Guide. Quiet Hours Quiet hours are from 11 pm to 8 am, Sunday through Thursday, and from midnight - noon on Friday and Saturday. During finals, 24 hour quiet hours are in effect. You will be removed without warning and immediately from the residence halls if you violate the quiet hours policy during these times, or if you get documented for a possible Code of Conduct violation. Suite and Apartment Policies Apartments and suites require some different regulations than the traditional Midtown residence hall rooms. Here are some policies relating specifically to Pinney, Grasso, and Centennial Halls. Furniture Beginning with the Fall 2011 semester, no furniture (other than a small/medium sized entertainment center) will be permitted to be brought in by students in any apartment building. You are permitted to bring refrigerators or freezers if desired. None of these can be larger than 6.0 cubic feet and there can be no more than one (1) per person, or (1) per person in the apartment. Decorations Walls
Please note: An inventory was done of your room/apartment prior to your arrival. All damages were noted and screened by a Housing staff member. You are responsible for all damages that occur in your room/apartment until you sign out with your Resident Assistant at the end of the semester. Visitation Policy Additional Pinney Hall PoliciesPlease note: Certain violations listed below will lead to immediate separation from Housing, regardless of prior judicial history and the number of times a person has violated policies previous to the violation. Balconies Do not use the balconies as an entry or exit from your apartment, except in the case of a fire or life safety emergency which prevents you from leaving through your apartment door. You may be separated from housing if you are found responsible for violating this policy. Balconies may have:
Visitation Policy Garbage Disposal in Sink Storage Satisfactory Academic Progress Throughout the course of the year, your Academic Resource Mentor (ARM) will be in contact with you regarding your GPA/SAP status. If it appears that you are in danger of not meeting either your credit limit and/or the necessary GPA, your ARM/RD will work with you to make an action plan so that you can meet these requirements. Part of this plan will probably include meeting with your building's ARM or your RA. If you believe you may not be able to meet these requirements, you are strongly encouraged to make an appointment to see your RD and make a plan immediately. More information is available in the HRL Residence Life Guide. Damages When damage occurs, an amount (determined by the Department of Housing & Residence Life and facilities Management) is applied to the damage. It is billed to the responsible person when that person can be identified. Often, though, no one can be identified, and the charge is shared by the general community. It is important if you know who is responsible that you bring that information forward to the Hall Council officers, or an RA/RD, so that it can be discussed at your Hall Council meeting. All charges and assignments are listed in the Hall Council minutes and posted throughout the semester. Bills are generated when you move out and leave campus, generally at the end of each semester. |

LWN.net Weekly Edition for June 13, 2013
A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
Well, taking the first one on the list as an example, it appears so. The firmware was found at sound/pci/korg1212/korg1212-firmware.h and moved into firmware/. I tried to find where it was added in Linus' git and in the history.git but I can't see where the file was actually added. Most of the ones above are pretty ancient. The firmware can't be under the same license (GPLv2) because no source code is provided for the firmware.
FSFLA: Linux kernel is "open core"
Posted Nov 11, 2010 15:25 UTC (Thu) by nye (guest, #51576) [Link]
Ah, right. So the issue is that the 'source' initially available actually included binaries in textual form, making that source GPL incompatible, and the combined work thus (potentially) non-redistributable.
That makes sense (in a sigh-inducing, twisted sort of way :P) - thanks for clarifying.
Posted Nov 11, 2010 20:37 UTC (Thu) by chad.netzer (guest, #4257) [Link]
It doesn't fly, at least not the part about accusing the Linux developers of complicity in "baiting" us into using non-free firmware. It would be similar to faulting Linux for allowing me to run a user-space binary that isn't "free". Should the kernel developers now be chastised for "baiting" us into using things like Matlab or Photoshop? Ridiculous, and FSFLA should be ashamed for framing their argument in such accusatory terms.
Posted Nov 12, 2010 4:00 UTC (Fri) by lxoliva (guest, #40702) [Link]
Consider smart fish, and scenarios in which one fish sees another going for a piece of food, that may or may not be bait around a hook.
1. the first fish knows it's bait around a hook, or in a trap
1.a) the first fish says there, go for it!
1.b) the first fish gets in the way and says hey, that's bait, you'll get trapped, you sure you want to?, so the other fish, if still decided to take the bait, has to take a detour to get to it
2. the first fish can't tell whether there's a hook or a trap, so it says nothing and doesn't stand in the way
Posted Nov 12, 2010 4:44 UTC (Fri) by chad.netzer (guest, #4257) [Link]
Or better yet, drop the analogies, since we aren't children; this is our field, we basically understand the scenario. Are cellphone technology providers to be chastised for "baiting" me into use one, while not providing free/libre firmware (even if the the OS is free), or are they to be thanked for allowing people to be able to call an ambulance when they are having a heart attack on a camping trip? I'll take the freedom to survive in that scenario.
If the firmware blobs are a copyright problem, by all means say so plainly. But to state that the Linux developers have set a trap for users, is low.
Posted Nov 12, 2010 4:56 UTC (Fri) by lxoliva (guest, #40702) [Link]
I'm not concerned with the copyriht issues. They're just a distraction. Even if there was no copyright issue whatsoever, the blobs would still be non-Free Software (i.e., software that deprives users of their four essential software freedoms), and inducing people to accept them is socially harmful practice that proponents of software freedom had better not engage in.
Posted Nov 12, 2010 6:45 UTC (Fri) by chad.netzer (guest, #4257) [Link]
Posted Nov 12, 2010 7:28 UTC (Fri) by lxoliva (guest, #40702) [Link]
The blobs we're talking about contain machine instructions that run on actual computers. Many of them are regularly modified fixing errors or even adding features. Some implement anti-features. You remember when Linux fit in a single floppy disk, and with a couple of floppy disks you could have an entire functional Free GNU+Linux operating system? Some of the blobs we're facing these days wouldn't fit in one of those floppy disks! They're entire operating systems for the computers hiding inside our computers, often hiding from you their true power.
Please help us (re)conquer freedom in that field! Don't let the expanding meaning of firmware fool you.
Posted Nov 12, 2010 8:09 UTC (Fri) by chad.netzer (guest, #4257) [Link]
Whatever. You don't appear to be responding to my points. Fair enough. A campaign to publicize the problems with binary code in the form of firmware blobs is perhaps a good one. But the way you go about it seems all wrong to me. It's kind of like PETA. A core part of their message (let's treat animals humanely) is pretty sane and agreeable. And yet they go about promoting it like complete dicks. I've stopped being a strict vegetarian, in very small part, because I didn't wanna end up like those kooks. I hope the same doesn't happen to my attitudes about Free Software...
Posted Nov 12, 2010 18:35 UTC (Fri) by lxoliva (guest, #40702) [Link]
Because the register file interface is hardly enough to write the software to run on the embedded computer, but it would likely be plenty to configure a device whose firmware is just configuration data.
Now, perhaps the VHDL description would be desirable to have, but if the embedded device contains a general-purpose programmable computer, having a description of its ISA would come in handier than the VHDL description for the purposes of writing the software to run on it.
Thanks for your apparent support to the campaign. If you can find better ways to spread the message, by all means go for it, and be sure to let us know!

In an editorial in the Daily Caller last Wednesday, Wayne LaPierre painted a hellish, crime-ridden picture of South Brooklyn after Hurricane Sandy, saying saying, "Looters ran wild in South Brooklyn. There was no food, water or electricity. And if you wanted to walk several miles to get supplies, you better get back before dark or you might not get home at all."
The comment was part of an argument for more gun ownership.
However, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries sent a letter to LaPierre explaining why his vision of Brooklyn is all wrong.
"The people of Coney Island across the neighborhood are resilient, are hard working, are caring, are dedicated to making a comeback. That's one of the reasons why comments like those made by Wayne LaPierre are completely irresponsible, unfounded and unacceptable," Jeffries said.
The freshman congressman is now calling on LaPierre to apologize and set the record straight. He cited New York City Police Department statistics about the overall drop in crime in the area after Sandy and wrote, "You depicted the area as a 'hellish world' after the storm hit. The facts that you have disregarded, either out of ignorance or with malicious intent, tell a very different story."
Jeffries has also invited LaPierre to visit the area to see for himself. Should he pay a visit, Coney Island residents say they would tell him about their post Sandy experience.
"We was safe. Everybody came together and worked as one and as a team," said Coney Island resident Sheriff Laiking.
"Back in the west when you needed guns to protect yourself. Right now you have the police to protect you and everybody else," said Coney Island resident Anibal Mel.
The NRA has not returned NY1's request for comment.
