Why is Residency Important?
Resident classification determines the amount of tuition you need to pay. It is important that Alaska public colleges and universities have fair and equitable rules that respect the interest of both the students and the taxpayers of Alaska.
It is your responsibility to provide the necessary documentation to establish residence status. Be certain of the rules and requirements of residency. Contact the admissions office of the campus you plan to attend if you have questions.
Dropdown lists of requirements!
Students eligible for Alaska resident tuition generally include:
- An Alaska resident, defined as a person who is a United States citizen or eligible non-citizen that has been physically present in Alaska for at least the past two years.
- Students that received a State of Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend within the last twelve months and certify they have been in Alaska for the past twelve months.
- Military personnel on active duty, their spouses and dependent children.
- Members of the National Guard, their spouses and dependent children.
- Dependent children of a person who graduated and holds an Associate, Bachelor's, Master's or Doctor's degree from the University of Alaska.
- Dependent children of an Alaska resident as evidenced by the most current federal income tax return filed within the past 16 months.
- Students participating in the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE) Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP).
- Students enrolled for four or fewer credit hours within the UA system during a semester.
- Students from other states or provinces whose public universities waive nonresident tuition surcharges for Alaska residents; or from foreign cities and provinces that established Alaskan sister city or sister province relationships.
- Students designated by the UA Scholars Program as UA Scholars.
- Participants of the University of Alaska College Savings Plan.
- Spouse or dependent children of a University of Alaska employee.
- Students that graduated within the past twelve months from a qualified Alaska high school.
A student will be considered non-resident if within two years prior to applying for residency he/she:
- Was absent from Alaska for an aggregate of more than 120 days other than documented absences due to illness, or attendance at another educational institution while maintaining Alaska residency.
- Did any act inconsistent with Alaska residency such as claiming residency in another state or voting as a resident of another state.
- Registered as a resident in an educational institution in another state.
- Paid tuition at the University of Alaska at the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program rate.
To prove physical presence, a student must provide documentation of one of the following:
- That the student moved household goods to Alaska at least two years ago.
- The student's lease, rental, or ownership of real property in Alaska for at least the prior two years.
- The student's permanent employment in Alaska for at least the prior two years.
- Other indicia of Alaska residency for the two prior years deemed satisfactory by the MAU chief enrollment officer or designee.
Applying for Resident Tuition
Students applying for resident tuition assessment must file an application for resident tuition with the appropriate main campus admissions office prior to the published end of the add/drop period for regular semester-length courses for the semester for which residency is sought. Students who do not submit a residency application with the required supporting documentation by this date will waive any claim to resident tuition for that semester or prior semesters unless otherwise determined by the campus chief enrollment officer.
Residency criteria, as paraphrased above, are determined by UA Board of Regents' residency policy and regulations; P05.10.025. Resident Tuition Assessment (pdf).

Not My Job: Olympian Jackie Joyner-Kersee Gets Cursy
If you were a track and field fan in the 1980s and '90s, three names rose above all the others — and they all belonged to one woman. Jackie Joyner-Kersee rose from East St. Louis to medal in four Olympic Games and to be named the greatest female athlete of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated.
Her name may be Kersee, but just how "cursy" is she? We've invited her to play a game called "May Thunder Blast Your Head!" Three questions about curses from around the world that we learned about on the Asylum site.
And now the game where we ask big names little questions. If you were a track and field fan in the 1980s and '90s, three names rose above all the others, and they all belonged to one woman. Jackie Joyner-Kersee rose from East St. Louis to medal in four Olympic Games and be named the greatest female athlete of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated. Jackie Joyner-Kersee, welcome to WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
JACKIE JOYNER-KERSEE: Thank you.
SAGAL: So they like you here. So, are you well known here in St. Louis, where you live? I mean, do people like see you in the street and come up and say jump, jump for me or something? I don't know.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yeah, they don't ask me to jump. They might ask me do I want to race.
SAGAL: Do they really?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yes.
SAGAL: People come up to you - are you like the big guy in the bar who always gets challenged to a fight? It's like that's Jackie Joyner-Kersee, I'm really drunk. I'm going to go try to race her now?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Well, not quite in the bar, but...
SAGAL: You grew up in East St. Louis, across the river, right?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Right.
SAGAL: And you were a talented athlete as a young girl. You were always into athletics?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yes, I was always into athletics, but I really wasn't really good in track when - because I started running at the age of nine. And my first race, I finished last.
SAGAL: Did you really?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yes, I did.
SAGAL: It sounds like that still bothers you.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yeah.
MO ROCCA: What kind of a race was it?
JOYNER-KERSEE: It was the 400 meters, and so I remember saying to myself the next time out, if I can improve a 10th of a second if I was running, then that meant I was getting better. But sometimes the places remained the same. I was like, OK, I'm in eighth place, seventh place. I'm slowly moving up.
SAGAL: Really?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yeah.
SAGAL: So you weren't one of those kids who were, like, immediately everybody knew you had a special talent. You had to really work for it.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Well, my coaches might have known, but when you've been in eighth place and seventh place, that ain't special.
SAGAL: No.
BRIAN BABYLON: I wonder where that kid is who won first place in that race. What did person...
SAGAL: We read that you actually made your own sand pit to jump in, to do long jump.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yes.
SAGAL: And that you had to collect sand from all around East St. Louis to make it. Is that true?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Well, not quite around East St. Louis. It was a park across the street from where I lived, and they had a sandbox. And so I would convince my sisters. We would take potato chip bags, and we would walk over to the park...
ROCCA: Uh-oh.
JOYNER-KERSEE: And we would fill the bags with the sand and bring it back to our front yard so I could practice on my jumping.
SAGAL: I mean, did any of your siblings say, why don't you just go jump over there, and we'll save a lot of time?
JOYNER-KERSEE: See, we weren't supposed to leave the yard, so...
JOYNER-KERSEE: So we would go to the park. So as long as we all went together and came back together and then before my mom got home. And we never collected enough sand for me to jump in the pit. But, you know, I was jumping off - we had a porch and a banister. So I would practice my jumping, and my mom didn't know because it was just a little bitty mound of sand.
SAGAL: I love the story of you guys smuggling the dirt. It's like "The Great Escape," these little kids, they're like sneaking over there holding a potato chip bag trying to look nonchalant.
SAGAL: So once you started winning, you know, when did you get on the path to the Olympics?
JOYNER-KERSEE: When I was 14, I saw the '76 Olympic games on television, and I remember going to my coaches, and I asked them did they think that I could make the Olympics because that's my dream. I want to go to the Olympics because I saw women at that time doing what I was trying to do.
SAGAL: Right.
JOYNER-KERSEE: And I was like, wow, and maybe I can get on TV by going to the Olympics.
JOYNER-KERSEE: So that's what I did.
SAGAL: I watched the '76 Olympics. I just said, that makes me tired and got some more ice cream.
SAGAL: But now, I mean, you went to four Olympics. I can't even count your medals. Four gold medals over the four Olympics or more?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Three gold.
SAGAL: Three gold.
JOYNER-KERSEE: A silver and two bronze.
SAGAL: Really? Where do you keep your medals now?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Thank you.
SAGAL: And a world record that still stands in the heptathlon, right?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yes.
SAGAL: OK, so where do you keep the medals in your house?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Well, they're in a safe place.
SAGAL: If I were to come over to your house, and I'm not angling for an invitation, but if I were to come over to your house, would I see them? Are they out?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Well, no, they're not out, but...
SAGAL: No, really?
BABYLON: Oh, mine would be everywhere.
SAGAL: I was about to say.
SAGAL: If I had one Olympic medal, I would be wearing it now.
BABYLON: Yeah.
SAGAL: I would be going, oh, this enormous medallion around my neck? Well, that's my Olympic medal.
ROCCA: Yes, with a bowl of Wheaties right in front of you.
SAGAL: Exactly.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yes.
SAGAL: Really? But you don't ever take them out and just go oh, yeah?
JOYNER-KERSEE: You know, you could. But, you know, when you get the gold medals or the silver medals or the bronze medal, it's like, oh, that hard work, oh, them 12 hours, oh, 365 days of the year. Let me put that away.
SAGAL: Your brother Al is an Olympic gold medal winner. Did you ever - did you get competitive with him? Did you ever race him?
JOYNER-KERSEE: I did.
SAGAL: Did you smoke him?
JOYNER-KERSEE: I did.
SAGAL: Did you?
SAGAL: If your brother were here right now, would he confirm this story, or...?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Oh, yes, he would confirm it.
SAGAL: He'd confirm the story? OK, I just wanted to say he wouldn't lie...
JOYNER-KERSEE: But he would also say that he beat me to winning the first Olympic gold medal, though.
SAGAL: That's true.
JOYNER-KERSEE: So....
ROCCA: I'm curious. Like if you're ever on the way to a meeting, and you're in a traffic jam...
ROCCA: I mean, do you ever just get out of the car and just sprint right there?
JOYNER-KERSEE: You know what, you have those thoughts, but a lot of time you're going to the meetings, you've got on heels. But, you know, some people run in heels, but...
ROCCA: Could you do that? Could you sprint in heels?
JOYNER-KERSEE: No, I can barely walk in them. So I know I'm not going to sprint.
SAGAL: This is what I want to happen. That's your dream, Mo. My dream is that Jackie is walking down the street, and some guy grabs her purse and runs.
ROCCA: Yes.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Oh.
ROCCA: Exactly. I was - iPhone thing. Like when you down the street, because they're all - there's a rash of iPhone thievery where people will snatch it out of your hands. And so, you know, people are really protective. But you can just wave it all around. You don't have to worry about anything.
BABYLON: Can you still throw a javelin?
JOYNER-KERSEE: Yeah, I can.
ROCCA: Is there ever reason to?
BABYLON: Yeah, if someone steals your iPhone.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Right.
JOYNER-KERSEE: You know, I've got the fold-up javelin in my bag.
SAGAL: Oh, yeah.
ROCCA: That's cool.
SAGAL: Dangerous woman. Well, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, we are so delighted to talk to you, and we have invited you here today to play a game we're calling...
BILL KURTIS: May thunder blast your head.
SAGAL: So your name of course is Kersee, but how cursy are you? We're going to ask you three questions about curses from around the world.
SAGAL: We learned about these on the website Asylum.com. Get two right, you'll win our prize for one of our listeners, Carl Kasell's voice on their voicemail. Bill, who is Jackie Joyner-Kersee playing for?
KURTIS: Cynthia Cryder of St. Louis, Missouri.
SAGAL: OK, your hometown person. OK, Jackie, here's your first question. In Turkey, they insult rich, entitled people by saying which of these: A, you are a child of pudding; B, may your domestic help regularly look you in the eye in an insolent way; or C, you donate to public radio?
JOYNER-KERSEE: So that's none of the above, right?
SAGAL: No, it's one of the three. I'll review. It's...
JOYNER-KERSEE: I'll go A, pudding.
SAGAL: You're going to go A, you are a child of pudding. You're right, very good.
SAGAL: Not being Turkish, we have no idea why they say that. Next question, next question, this is very good. In Portugal, you insult a guy by telling him to do what: A, go eat at White Castle.
SAGAL: B, go comb a monkey; or C, go try to reform the international banking system.
SAGAL: Those are insults, ways to send them away in an insulting way.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Portugal?
SAGAL: Portugal.
SAGAL: Go comb a monkey. You're right, very good.
SAGAL: Jackie, one more question. Let's go for the gold, as it were. In Iceland, if you get really angry at somebody you can call them a Prumphasen, a Prumphasen, which means you're calling them what: A, a Bjork tribute act.
SAGAL: B, a fart-chicken.
SAGAL: Or C, a dish of overcooked horse meat.
ROCCA: Oh, my God.
JOYNER-KERSEE: In Iceland?
SAGAL: Iceland.
ROCCA: A fart chicken?
SAGAL: A fart chicken.
JOYNER-KERSEE: Can we go with the fart chicken?
SAGAL: You want to go with the fart chicken? Yes, it's the fart chicken.
SAGAL: Bill, how did Jackie Joyner-Kersee do on our quiz?
KURTIS: Another gold medal for her room.
SAGAL: Jackie Joyner-Kersee is a track and field legend and the founder of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation and Center in East St. Louis, Illinois. Her new youth athletics program is Winning for Life. Jackie Joyner-Kersee, thank you so much for joining us on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
SAGAL: Jackie Joyner-Kersee, ladies and gentlemen.

By Chris Palmer, Project specialist for International Programs Department
Each day, Augusto wakes up in his small and unassuming home on the outskirts of Guayaquil, Ecuador. He gets ready for work by starting up his computer for a full day of CFCA letter translations. With more than 2,300 sponsored children and aging members in the Guayaquil project, one can imagine that there are plenty of translations to do in a given year.
Augusto is a simple man with dark, black hair, and his inviting demeanor is calm and genuine as he speaks with passion and wit. He has been translating letters and other documents for CFCA since 1995.
ìIt is important to have a quality translation to accompany the original letter, whether it is from a sponsor in the U.S. to a child here in Guayaquil or a child from here to a sponsor,î he said.
In a given day, Augusto is able to translate on average eight full letters from Spanish to English, only stopping for a lunch break in the afternoon.
ìSometimes I can do more depending on the length of the letter; however, there are a few cases in which children write three- to four-page letters that will in turn take me longer to translate," he said. "In these instances, I am only able to get four or five done per day. There is one girl in particular from the Mira subproject who I think is slowly trying to write a novel to her sponsor, letter by letter.î
Although taxing at times, Augusto keeps a positive perspective on his important duty and role in the journey of a CFCA letter.
In 1979, Augusto was serving in the Ecuadorian Air Force when, during a "red alert" situation with a neighboring country, he found himself rushing back to the airbase with three other comrades. On the way back they suffered a severe car accident.
ìRight away, I knew I lost the mobility of my legs,î he said.
It was discovered shortly after that Augusto had severed his spinal cord in the accident and would require the assistance of a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Augusto was transferred between military hospitals in Ecuador until, with permission from the minister of defense, he was sent for treatment and rehabilitation to a specialized hospital in Houston, Texas. Even though there were others in the hospital who spoke Spanish, the majority of conversation in the hospital was in English. During his twoñyear rehabilitation stay, a professor came to the hospital to give English lessons to those interested.
It was through immersion in the English language that Augusto slowly turned a positive light on his time in Houston. More than 10 years after his return to Ecuador, Augusto was asked to by a director of a local school to assist in the translations of letters for a sponsorship program called CFCA. Little did Augusto know at the time, but this part-time job would eventually become his full-time vocation.
ìThis is an activity that I do with much care and dedication because it has filled many spaces in my own life," he said. "In countless ways, this position is therapeutic because it gives me the opportunity to be utilized for the benefit of others. It also keeps me busy while allowing me to pay my daily expenses, as my translation fees are my only source of income.î
The impact of CFCAís program not only affects the lives of those who are sponsored, but the ripples and reverberations continue to affect those in proximity to it. By employing local translators, CFCA exposes the hope and potential of the poor to others in the community.
A translation may seem like a simple act, but this behind-the-scenes service is doing a lot more than transforming one language into another. After meeting Augusto, one can clearly see that the work he does for CFCA brings him much freedom, despite the physical limitations of his disability.
ìIt is through the letters I am able to become acquainted with the customs of each region," he said. "If you ask me to describe Mira (a town located up in the highlands of Ecuador) I feel as if I am able to picture the landscape and its surroundings in my mind.
"When I translate the letters from the U.S. or other countries, I am able to get a unique description of each of those places also. Although I am unable to travel due to my condition, it is through these letters that enable me to travel all over the world. Each letter is a new journey for me.î

The Taylors Set New Guinness World Record in an All-New Volkswagen Clean Diesel Jetta TDI - EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
HERNDON, VA - September 30, 2008: The world's most fuel efficient couple, John and Helen Taylor, have done it again, this time they've broken the current world record for lowest fuel consumption across the 48 contiguous United States averaging 58.82 miles to the gallon. They ended their 20 day trip in West Virginia on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008.
To help the Taylor's break the world record, they drove the all-new, 50-state-compliant clean diesel Volkswagen Jetta TDI, fueled by Shell Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel under real world driving conditions, simply applying easy to use fuel saving tips and the latest efficient engine technology available for good clean diesel fun.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Auto Channel had the chance to meet Helen and John two weeks ago during the press introduction of the new Jetta TDI in Santa Monica, California. The complete video interview is embeded below. The interview was conducted on the evening before they departed on their return leg of the journey.
"We are very excited and grateful to have broken the current Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption across the 48 contiguous United States," said Helen Taylor. "We would like to thank Volkswagen for providing us their new clean diesel Jetta that helped us get another World Record and to Shell for supplying the diesel fuel."
The previous Guinness World Record for the lowest fuel consumption on a nationwide drive was 51.58 miles per gallon and the Taylors broke it by setting a new record of 58.82 miles per gallon, a whopping 14 percent improvement. In 20 days, driving across 48 states the Taylors drove 9,419 miles, exceeding 60 mpg on several legs of the record-setting run, spending only 6.9 cents per mile (total was $653).
"The terrain was very diverse, the weather less than ideal, and the traffic heavy at rush hour and the VW Jetta TDI handled it all beautifully, showing its fuel efficiency and its fun-to-drive dynamic capability, just two of this vehicle's many attributes," said John Taylor. "The car efficiently helped us to drive to a fuel economy world record."

People were encouraged to e-mail the Taylors along the way at: firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions they may have about the tour, the vehicle or about fuel economy tips and join their "Fan" page on Facebook.com. As of the end of the trip, more than 2,000 people have e-mailed the Taylors.
Approximately 12 official check-in and refueling stops across the country were included throughout the duration of the drive. The couple drove on a counter-clockwise route passing through: Washington D.C.; New York City, Rutland, Vermont; Toledo, Ohio; Des Moines, Iowa; Spearfish, S.D.; Missoula, Mont.; Winnemucca, Nev.; Santa Monica, Calif.; Durango, Colo.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Mount Vernon, Ill.; Ponchatoula, La.; and, Beckley, W.V. Some of the fuel saving tips the Taylors advocate include: avoiding idling and higher speeds, minimizing vehicle drag and performing regular vehicle maintenance.
The Taylors have made a 26-year career out of driving economically and conducting workshops globally on fuel-efficient driving techniques. They have collected 82 world fuel economy and vehicle-related records from drives around the globe in Australia, Asia, South Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

Sealskinz Thin Ankle Length Socks bring three seasons' waterproof practicality to snug-fitting race shoes, while offering excellent defence against blistering and abrasion. Despite almost three week's daily service and the best efforts of my deformed toe, my test pair still look and smell like new.
While extremely practical, the science bit isn't terribly revolutionary. We've a three-layer sandwich that employs a merino wool/nylon/elastane mix to spirit moisture from the skin, maintaining good hygiene an of course, banishing those nasty niffs. Then we've the waterproof, breathable membrane that prevents rider-induced and external moisture from inviting trouble, while the predominantly nylon outer wall minimises friction, and therefore blisters and premature wear.
These have a thermal rating of two - middle of the road perhaps, but adequate for all bar the most extreme of temperatures.
Temperate they are. I ride year round come hell and occasionally high water. Shoe preserving qualities aside, I find overshoes cumbersome and often uncomfortably warm - even when the temperature dips below zero. Haring along the lanes, November rain cascading along my calves, it made no impression whatsoever for three hours - maybe longer.
Immersing both feet to the cuff lines in salt water couldn't faze my feet, but the sensation of soggy outers/dry inners takes some adjustment. You'd be very unlucky to fall victim to soggy feet during a 'cross or MTB meet. I was also relieved by their tenacity over slippery surfaces, suggesting they'd be a good bet for cross-country running too.
Performance in cold, dry weather was also a pleasant surprise - that membrane blocks icy blasts. That said; man-made fibres always have an element of compromise. Previous summer experience with their socklet siblings suggests they're not ideal warm-weather companions, when their waterproofing overtakes their wicking qualities.
Ultra-practical socks for everyday riding.

-News from the DragonFly Digest
+###Google Summer of Code 2012
+DragonFly hopes to participate in [Google Summer of Code 2012](http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2012). Our organization application is in and we will know soon if DragonFly is participating for a 5th year. Check our [[GSoC 2012|docs/developer/gsoc2012/]] page for links to previous years. More information will be listed there if DragonFly is accepted as a mentoring organization.
+### DragonFly 3.0 released
+DragonFly 3.0.1 is now available! This release has superior multiprocessor support compared to previous versions. Speed has improved significantly. Binary packages from the 2011Q4 release of pkgsrc are available. Check the [[release notes|release30]] for details.
+This release is available in ISO format, for CD or DVD, and IMG format, for installation to a USB key. All images are Live, meaning a system can be booted and run with that install media without installing to disk. The GUI version will boot to a login prompt with easy instructions to get to a desktop, and also includes a snapshot of the git repo for /usr/src and /usr/pkgsrc (which can then be incrementally updated after installation).

+## What is DragonFly BSD?
-### 2.2.1 released - 27 April 2009
+DragonFly belongs to the same class of operating systems as other BSD-derived systems and Linux. It is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs and shares ancestor code with other BSD operating systems. DragonFly provides an opportunity for the BSD base to grow in an entirely different direction from the one taken in the FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD series.
-The [[new 2.2 release|release22]] includes [[Hammer|hammer]], a filesystem that includes instant crash recovery,
-multi-volume file systems, data integrity checking, fine grained history retention, and the ability to
-mirror data to other volumes. It has undergone extensive stress-testing and is considered production-ready!
+DragonFly includes many useful features that differentiate it from other operating systems in the same class.
-### Summer of Code participation
+The most prominent one is HAMMER, our modern high performance filesystem with built-in mirroring and historic access functionality.
DragonFly [has been accepted](http://socghop.appspot.com/org/home/google/gsoc2009/dragonflybsd) to Google's Summer of Code for 2009, after a successful [[2008 session|docs/developer/GoogleSoC2008]]. If you're a student, start planning for entering your proposal on the 23rd. If you can mentor, please sign up at the [Google site](http://socghop.appspot.com/) and request a mentoring slot. There is [[an initial page|gsoc2009]] listing potential projects; please read and add to it if you are interested
Virtual kernels provide the ability to run a full-blown kernel as a user process for the purpose of managing resources or for accelerated kernel development and debugging
Check the [DragonFly Digest](http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/) for other current events, or check the headlines listed on this page
The kernel makes extensive use of tokens as a synchronization mechanism; tokens are inherently deadlock-free and easily composable. The use of soft token locks results in less cross-subsystem pollution and more maintainable code, both of which allow us to parallelize the system with less effort compared to other kernels, which primarily use hard mutex locks
+DragonFly is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the wide availability of affordable Solid Storage Devices (SSDs), by making use of swap space to cache filesystem data and meta-data. This feature, commonly referred to as "swapcache", can give a significant boost to both server and workstation workloads, with a very minor hardware investment.
-## What is DragonFly BSD?
+The DragonFly storage stack comprises robust AHCI drivers, stable device names via DEVFS and a partial implementation of Device Mapper for reliable volume management and encryption.
+Some other features that are especially useful to system administrators are variant symlinks (i.e. symlinks that are resolved at runtime based on user-specific or system-wide variables) and a performant and scalable TMPFS implementation. Our system makes pervasive use of NULLFS mounts, which allow the administrator to make arbitrary parts of the filesystem hierarchy visible in other locations with virtually no overhead.
-DragonFly belongs to the same class of operating system as BSD and Linux
-and is based on the same UNIX ideals and APIs. DragonFly gives the BSD
-base an opportunity to grow in an entirely different direction from the one
-taken in the FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD series.
-From 2003 (when DragonFly first forked from FreeBSD), to early 2007,
-the DragonFly project focused on rewriting most of the major kernel
-subsystems to implement required abstractions and support mechanics
-for the second phase of the project. This involved a great deal of work
-in nearly every subsystem, particularly the filsystem APIs and kernel core.
-During all of this we have managed to keep the system updated with regards
-to the third party applications and base system utilities needed to make
-any system usable in production. We have also adopted the PkgSrc system for
-management of all non-base-system third-party applications in order to pool
-our resources with other BSD projects using the system.
-In the 2007-2008 time-frame a new filesystem called HAMMER was developed
-for DragonFly. HAMMER sees its first light of day in the July 2008
-2.0 release. This filesystem has been designed to solve numerous issues
-and to add many new capabilities to DragonFly, such as fine-grained
-snapshots, instant crash recovery, and near real-time mirroring.
-The filesytem is also intended to serve as a basis for the clustering
-work that makes up the second phase of the project.
-The second phase of the project is now upon us. The DragonFly project's
-ultimate goal is to provide native clustering support in the kernel.
-This involves the creation of a sophisticated cache management
-framework for filesystem namespaces, file spaces, and VM spaces, which
-allows heavily interactive programs to run across multiple machines with
-cache coherency fully guaranteed in all respects. This also involves being
-able to chop up resources, including the cpu by way of a controlled VM
-context, for safe assignment to unsecured third-party clusters over the
-internet (though the security of such clusters itself might be in doubt,
-the first and most important thing is for systems donating resources to not
-be made vulnerable through their donation).
+A major crux of any open source operating system is third party applications. DragonFly leverages the pkgsrc system to provide thousands of applications in source and binary forms. These features and more band together to make DragonFly a modern, useful, friendly and familiar UNIX-like operating system.
+The DragonFly BSD community is made up of users and developers that take pride in an operating system that maintains challenging goals and ideals. This community has no reservation about cutting ties with legacy when it makes sense, preferring a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to development of the system. The community also takes pride in its openness and innovative spirit, applying patience liberally and always trying to find a means to meet or exceed the performance of our competitors while maintaining our trademark algorithmic simplicity.
+For more information, visit the [[Features|features]] and [[History|History]] pages.

The Board of Education honored Chris Palmieri with a proclamation during its last meeting, in recognition of his selection as the Connecticut Association of Schools (CAS) Middle School Assistant Principal of the Year for 2013.
Palmieri, who holds that position at DePaolo Middle School, was nominated by the school's principal, Frank Pepe. A statement was read in which Pepe described his colleague as "a rarity of both knowledge and leadership who gives 100 percent all the time."
At DePaolo, he is known for serving a number of different roles, including the director of an annual musical featuring talent from both middle schools, the creator of a mentoring program designed to help "at-risk" students, and the voice parents and students hear on a "homework hotline" that allows them to check assignments over the phone.
"The focus of his work is as much on producing well-rounded, caring students as it is on academic achievement," said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Erardi.
Outside of the school, he has served on the Town Council for almost a decade. In that capacity, he became the chairman of the Apple Harvest Festival's supervisory committee and has overseen many additions and improvements to the annual event.
"The Southington community knows him by name," said Board of Education Chairman Brian Goralski. "He's a great role model for kids and for adults."
Palmieri received a bachelor's degree from the University of Rhode Island and a master's degree and administrative certificate from Sacred Heart University (CT). He started in Southington as a teacher in 1997 as a teacher at Kennedy Middle School. He was named Assistant Principal at DePaolo in 2005.
While accepting his proclamation, he gave credit to the faculty at DePaolo for the school's strong reputation.
"I'm truly humbled and honored," he said. "I'm only able to earn this because of my peers, not just my own accomplishments."
That evening, one of his students was also being honored. Katharine Myers of DePaolo was recognized as one of this year's outstanding students as determined by the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents (CAPSS). The other honoree was Southington High School student Jonathan LaFollette.

* Shift in US strategic focus to Asia
* Obama heading to Myanmar, in transition to democracy
* Won't be able to forget Middle East, fiscal problems
By Matt Spetalnick and Jeff Mason
BANGKOK, Nov 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama denied on Sunday his upcoming trip to Myanmar was an endorsement of the government there, calling it an acknowledgement of the progress made in shaking off decades of military rule and encouragement for it go further.
On Monday, Obama will become the first serving U.S. president to visit Myanmar, also called Burma, part of a three-country Asian tour that, as his first post-election trek abroad, will show he is serious about shifting the U.S. strategic focus eastwards.
Some human rights groups object to the Myanmar visit, saying Obama is rewarding the country's quasi-civilian government before democratic reforms are complete. But he told a news conference in Thailand he knew there was much still to do.
"I don't think anybody is under the illusion that Burma's arrived, that they're where they need to be," he said.
"On the other hand, if we waited to engage until they had achieved a perfect democracy, my suspicion is we'd be waiting an awful long time," he added. "One of the goals of this trip is to highlight the progress that has been made and give voice to the much greater progress that needs to be made in the future."
Late on Sunday, state television in Myanmar said 66 more prisoners would be released on Monday, bringing to 518 the number released over the past week.
The previous batch did not appear to include any political prisoners, but a senior prison department official, who declined to be identified, told Reuters that Myint Aye, a prominent human rights activist, would be among those freed on Monday.
It was not clear if other political detainees would be included. Obama has made the freeing of all political prisoners one of the conditions for the full lifting of sanctions imposed on Myanmar for rights abuses under the junta.
Obama will meet President Thein Sein, a former junta member who has spearheaded political and economic reforms since taking office in March 2011, and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who led the struggle against military rule and, like Obama, is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is now a lawmaker.
"I'm not somebody who thinks that the United States should stand on the sidelines and not want to get its hands dirty when there's an opportunity for us to encourage the better impulses inside a country," Obama said.
"And, in part, I'm taking my guidance from what Aung San Suu Kyi, who I think knows quite a bit about repression in Burma, sees as the best means to continue the development and progress that's being made there."
White House officials have said Obama would press Myanmar's leaders to restore calm to the western part of their country and bring instigators of ethnic violence there to justice.
After a recent meeting with senior Obama aides, rights activists left satisfied that Obama wanted to push hard on human rights and political and economic reform in closed-door talks with Thein Sein and in his public remarks, including a speech.
After Myanmar, Obama will attend an East Asia summit in Cambodia as he seeks to recalibrate U.S. economic and security commitments to counter China's influence at a time when America is disentangling itself from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But his attention will be divided during his travels as he faces a simmering crisis in the Gaza Strip pitting Israel against Hamas militants, plus economic problems at home.
Obama, who was born in Hawaii and spent part of his youth in Indonesia, has called himself America's first "Pacific president".
The U.S. administration regards Thailand as a key ally for advancing the "Asia pivot" that Obama announced last year with an eye to an increasingly assertive China.
At a joint news conference with Obama, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra announced Thailand would join talks on deeper trade ties with the United States and other countries under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
The TPP is a trade pact being negotiated between the United States and Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei plus, more recently, Canada and Mexico.
It aims to tear down barriers to trade, going further than existing bilateral and other pacts, although some in Thailand worry that its provisions could conflict with rules governing a Southeast Asian economic community to be established in 2015.
As part of the itinerary in Bangkok, a monk in bright orange robes gave Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a tour of the centuries-old Wat Pho temple, taking them past its massive reclining Buddha.
Somehow, the fiscal problems back in Washington came up.
"We're working on this budget. We're going to need a lot of prayer for that," Obama was overheard telling the monk, a light-hearted reference to a fiscal showdown in Washington over tax increases and spending cuts that kick in at the end of the year unless Obama and congressional Republicans can reach a deal.
Security had been tight at Bangkok's old Don Muang airport for Obama's arrival but was far less visible in the historic centre of the city at the temple, although roads around the building were closed and tourists were not allowed in.
From there, Obama left for an audience with King Bhumibol Adulyadej, 84, the world's longest-reigning monarch, who has been in hospital recovering from an illness since September 2009.
The king's softly spoken words made Obama smile at one point. "Elections in the United States are very long but it's very gratifying to know people still have confidence in me," the president responded.


text: I got severe ME/CFS about 17 years ago which left me completely bed bound for a while, I couldnt even often get myself to the toilet and due to lack of support, my young child had to become my carer. This condition has given me over 90 different medical symptoms and conditions from my body not being able to regulate my BP properly or my heartbeat on postural change, to messing up so many of my hormones, to vitamin deficiencies to sensitivities to chemicals and foods etc etc. I nowdays are basically homebound as cant leave my house without a support worker by my side and need a wheelchair for shopping (actually that takes having two support workers with me as I cant push myself in the wheelchair). This extreme and often severe illness which is hugely discriminated against thou many with ME are severely disabled by the disease. It's a disease insurance companies have made sure lays half buried as it can keep a person as disabled as an AIDS patient 2 weeks before death for the rest of ones life but usually without shortening lifespan much. Due to this Im big on Disability Advocacy esp of this illness and others which are much misunderstood or unknown, and of non discrimination of those who are disabled.May this world one day be one in which all discrimination will cease!!

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1
Reading 3: Brothers, Sister, Sons, and Daughter
All of Alphonso and Louise Taft's children were high achievers in public service and education. Charles Phelps Taft and Peter Rawson Taft joined their father in his law practice. Charles became one of Cincinnati's most famous benefactors of the arts. Another son, Horace Dutton Taft, founded the Taft School in Connecticut, while Henry Waters Taft chose law as a career.
William Howard Taft's own offspring and descendants continued the family tradition of service. He and his wife Helen had three children. Robert A. Taft, known as "Mr. Republican," was the Republican leader of the U.S. Senate and is best known for the 1947 Taft-Hartley labor law. Charles (Charlie), known as "Mr. Cincinnati," was a long-time Cincinnati City Council member and mayor of the city. Helen, William Howard Taft's only daughter, was a writer and dean of Bryn Mawr College.
Subsequent generations of Tafts have continued the family commitment to public service. Robert Taft, Jr., the second son of Robert A. Taft and his wife, Martha, served in the Ohio legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Until his death in 1993, he continued to practice law in the firm his father founded.
Robert A. (Bob) Taft II, Ohio secretary of state in 1992, is the great-grandson of William Howard Taft and the oldest of four children of Robert Taft, Jr. Bob Taft earlier served as a state representative and a Hamilton County, Ohio, commissioner. Another son of Robert A. Taft, Jr., William Howard Taft III, held various assignments in the State Department, including ambassadorships to Ireland and Mozambique.
William Howard Taft IV, the great-great-grandson of William Howard, also has held positions in the Federal Government including the ambassadorship to NATO and the undersecretary of defense.
Questions for Reading 3
1. Develop a Taft family tree based on the reading and list the accomplishments of each family member beside the name.
2. Compare the careers of William Howard Taft's siblings and descendants with those of Taft and his father.
3. For what law was Robert A. Taft best known? Why was this law important? What was Taft's role in the law's creation?
Reading 3 was adapted from David Arbogast, "William Howard Taft National Historic Site" (Hamilton County, Ohio) National Register of Historic Places Registration Form, Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, 1976; and University of Cincinnati Program for the Dedication of the William Howard Taft statue, September 15, 1992.

The biggest takeaway from Nokia's Q4 2012 earnings report is obviously that Nokia finally turned a profit after deciding to make Windows Phone its operating system of choice on its smartphones. But one tidbit that also stands out is that Nokia officially confirmed the demise of Symbian, saying that the 808 PureView was the last of the Symbian name. Amongst 22 mentions of Symbian in its earning report, a short blurb from the Finnish phone maker put their former platform to rest:
"During our transition to Windows Phone through 2012, we continued to ship devices based on Symbian," the company wrote. "The Nokia 808 PureView, a device which showcases our imaging capabilities and which came to market in mid-2012, was the last Symbian device from Nokia."
Now, there's nothing shocking about this. It was long thought that the Nokia 808 would be the last of its kind, but we thought it appropriate to mention that it was now official. Symbian was a much-loved mobile OS for a long time and had a fitting end in the spotlight, powering an amazing 41MP camera in the 808 PureView.
And while Nokia has discontinued its once-popular Symbian operating system, the PureView name will live on. They are expected to reveal a new device, codenamed EOS, that will incorporate the sensor technology found in the 808 PureView. The PureView name has also been adopted as the general branding for all of Nokia's latest and greatest camera technology.
So in true Lion King fashion, the death of the last Symbian device gives rise to new line of Nokia camera technology and perpetuates the Circle of Life (queue Elton John).

LANSING — Lawmakers are heading toward a midyear budget showdown over paying for more road projects and filling a hole in Michigan's collection of a tax that funds medical care for low-income residents.
A Republican-led House budget committee Wednesday approved spending legislation to set aside $215 million for higher-than-usual road maintenance bills this winter and longer-lasting road and bridge projects. That's $115 million more than the GOP-controlled Senate approved last week.
Unlike the Senate, the House committee didn't include $6.7 million to restore state funding for Hutzel Women's Hospital in Detroit — which delivers more at-risk babies than any other hospital in Michigan — or $2 million to help the fledgling Regional Transit Authority in Detroit get up and running.
The House version also doesn't include $115 million to plug an ongoing shortfall in the Medicaid budget, which has suffered because a 1 percent tax on health claims paid by insurers and HMOs isn't generating as much as anticipated when it took effect in 2012. The Senate wants to divert money from elsewhere in this year's budget to secure a crucial federal match.
Once the bill wins approval from the House as early as Thursday, differences are expected to be hammered out in a House-Senate conference committee within two weeks.
"My concern is by patching the hole in the (health claims revenue) is we've just put off the conversation for another year. I think all the interested parties have to come to the table and say we need a long-term solution to it," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Joe Haveman, R-Holland.
Gov. Rick Snyder and Republicans have pushed to address the problem by charging drivers $25 a year to help fund Medicaid, under an overhaul of the state's auto insurance system that would reduce overall premiums and scale back unlimited medical benefits for those catastrophically injured in crashes. House Speaker Jase Bolger, R-Marshall, unveiled a new car insurance plan last week, but opposition still remains fierce and any possible deal is unlikely to be reached before the November election.
The bill includes $100 million in emergency aid for state and local road agencies grappling with increased salt usage, overtime pay and potholes stemming from this winter's near-record snowfall and freeze-thaw effects. It also allocates $115 million previously set aside for repaving and other transportation projects.
Majority Republicans rejected various Democratic amendments, including $2 million to mitigate municipal costs for tree damage and debris caused by a December ice storm. Democrats in turn voted against the legislation.
Separately, the House committee overwhelmingly passed a mid-year school funding bill with $2 million to help K-12 districts with many poor students move to year-round instruction. The money would help install air conditioning in older schools or potentially modify labor contracts.
Snyder endorsed the concept in his January State of the State speech.
The legislation's sponsor, Rep. Andy Schor, D-Lansing, said teachers have to spend one or two months at the start of the academic year reteaching what students forget over the summer. About 30 of Michigan's 900 school districts and charter schools have a year-round calendar.

Steven Avery's Dumbass Supporters Have Some Explaining to Do
After the airing of the documentary, "Making a Murderer" about the Teresa Halbach murder, thousands of people signed petitions demanding Steven Avery, and his 16 yr old mentally deficient nephew, Brendan Dassey get a new trial. I'm giving these misguided people the benefit of the doubt and assuming they just didn't know all the evidence. To… Read More ›

The Fillies, led by President Elect Suzann Thompson, are already making plans for the 2013 Derby Ball.
Founded in 1959 by Frances Askew Davis (Mrs. William Golden Davis) and 17 other ladies, "The Fillies Club†was formed to help the Derby Festival produce a gala Derby Ball, during which there would be the coronation of a Derby Queen and the establishment of her Derby Court.
Churchill Downs and the community got behind the idea and pushed for a state-wide event. Churchill Downs sponsored the queen's float in the Derby parade for years. The president of the Fillies, the queen and her court were guests at a luncheon given by the president of the Downs.
The ladies were each given a beautiful silver pin with the silhouette of Churchill Downs etched on it. (I still wear mine on Derby Day. No, I was not a princess but a president!). And of course the queen and her court had their own clubhouse box.
The first balls were held at the Armory, now Louisville Gardens. The president would entertain the Derby Festival Board, their spouses, the governor and spouse and any visiting celebrities at the Pendennis Club for dinner.
Afterward everyone would walk down to the Armory for the ball. There was always a big-name band and exotic, interesting or silly decorations. After much dancing and revelry, the court was presented and the wheel was spun. And where it stopped, that princess became the Derby Queen.
One year it had a two-page spread in the old LIFE magazine!
The ball has changed a bit over the years. Now it is held in the grand ballroom of the Galt House. Cocktails and dinner are served. The current queen is presented and the wheel of fame is spun, and "Voila†we have a new queen and court.
The current president is Becky Fangman, the president elect of the Fillies Board is Suzann Thompson and her vice president is Lorena Peter. Barbara Hood is chair of the Derby Ball.
A Summer Celebration was held at Whitehall House & Gardens last weekend in honor of the Owsley Brown Frazier Family Foundation. Laura Frazier and her family and Kat Frazier Joy and her family were there.
Julie Beam and Cindy Carcione were the co-chairs. Their committee consisted of Claire Alagia, Lori Andriot, Angela Arnett, Caroline Borgman, Barbara Baker Brown, Janet Conti, Mary Michael Corbet, J. P. Davis, Margaret Dry, Janet Falk, Cathy Flowers, Penny Gold, Paula Grisanti, Rosemary Hocker, Michael Judd, Libby Parkinson, Douglas Riddle, Ben Small, Mary Stone, Lindy Street, Rebecca Tafel, Laura Weir and Ron Wolz.
Barbara Baker Brown is the Regent of Whitehall.
It was hot. What else can I say? The food was hot and so were the drinks! The men were told to take off their jackets and ties. I'm positive some of the ladies took clothes off too!
Corbett's fixed dinner. "Airline chicken†was the entrée. You can imagine the jokes that went around the table about that!
Along with the committee members Linda and Jim Jackson, Annette and Michael Kemper, the Mayor, Rosemary and Charlie Middleton, Carol and Charlie Hebel, Ed Schadt, Vickie Yates Brown, Jay and Maureen McGowan, Sara and Jim Haynes, Jan West and Jon Goldberg all had a grand time celebrating nice people in a wonderful setting.
Henry's Place
A new fine dining restaurant has come to the Brownsboro Road/Watterson Expressway area. Named for Henry Watterson, it is called Henry's Place and it occupies the building that was formerly a butcher shop/deli in the Brownsboro Center. All vestiges of the building's former existence have given way to a sophisticated elegance thanks to owner/partners Pat McGinnis and Chef Charles Reed. After several visits I would say the place is off to a really great and popular start. Last week the dining and bar areas were very busy.
The menu has a lot of imagination and the prices are reasonable, with entrée selections ranging from $15 to $30. Popular starters are the beef carpaccio and shrimp cream soup. Risotto with langoustines, oyster lemon stew presented in a copper pan, and a 45-day dry-aged rib-eye steak, are just a few of the items that are hard to choose between.
Then there are desserts that are hard to beat. Cookies, wonderful cookies of varying types, that you can order by the half-dozen. Or try the caramel ice cream that comes in an old fashioned martini glass with a raspberry jam cookie underneath, a spectacular scoop of "sin.â€
Ellen Timmons is famous for her fabulous over-the-top floral arrangements. She is also famous among her friends for her dinner parties. She is a wonderful cook, has weird and interesting friends, and a house full of the most interesting art and "stuff†from her world travels.
Last week she treated Kathy Hensley, Phillip Koenig, Barbara Partlow, Ben Small, Michael Judd, Brenda Light, Corky Sachs and Jack Roby to a wonderful dinner. Her handsome, charming son John was there too. Jack contributed a fabulous chocolate ice cream for dessert.
There is only one Ellen and she is an interesting, fun creature filled with a zest for life.
