intermediaries, which account for about 3 percent of GDP; and services from general government fixed capital, which amounts to something less than 2 percent of GDP.
This outline of the NIPAs focuses on measures for the economy as a whole. Sectors covered in the accounts include the business, household, and government sectors. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) also has produced tables showing information for nonprofit institutions serving individuals, which represent the vast majority of nonprofits; in the NIPAs these nonprofits are lumped together with households. Acknowledging the imputations in and sector coverage of the NIPAs highlights the fact that the accounts do not exclude all nonmarket activities or the services from all nonmarket assets. Many government and nonprofit activities register in the NIPAs but, in general, only goods and services that involve payments (whether market or below market) are included. For example, payments for services rendered under the Medicare program are included under GDP and GDI, but no value is imputed for volunteer services in nonprofit hospitals, because they are provided without remuneration. Services from owner-occupied housing and from general government capital are imputed and included in the NIPAs. Valuation of the services from owner-occupied housing is linked to the terms of observed rental transactions. BEA acknowledges that the services from general government capital are underestimated in the accounts; uncertainty about the appropriate net return to such capital led to the adoption of an assumption that the net rate of return was zero (National Research Council, 1998; Bureau of Economic Analysis, 1995).
In addition to the summary domestic income and product accounts shown in Table 2-1, the NIPA summary accounts include six others: the private enterprise account, the personal income and outlay account, the government receipts and expenditures account, the foreign transactions current account, the domestic capital account, and the foreign transactions capital account. Together these summary accounts, from which approximately 150 NIPA tables and the fixed-asset estimates (which underlie NIPA measures of consumption of fixed capital and consumer durable investment) are derived, provide a wealth of information for users (see BEA website).
The satellite accounts envisioned in this report would build primarily on the domestic income and product accounts, which include information on the production costs that constitute GDI and on the values of final output that constitute GDP. In the satellite accounts we contemplate, the nonmarket analogs are values for the inputs used in nonmarket production and values for the output that is produced.
Time is the most quantitatively significant input to both market and nonmarket production. One cannot begin to understand economically oriented nonmarket

In SAP, Foreign exchange rate calculation is a closing activity. We can maintain local currency and additional currencies in SAP configuration. Usually exchange rate configuration is required, when the company is having business transactions in various currencies. Exchange rate is a way to calculate the differences between local currency and transaction currency.
There are different types of exchange rates between various types of currencies, like indirect quotation and direct quotation through bank selling rate, bank buying rate and average rate. We have different types of exchange rate between local currency and transaction currency. Exchange rates can calculate between two currencies other than local currency.
The exchange rate can use for the functions like; valuation, conversion, currency translation. There are standard quotations to calculate exchange rates such as direct and indirect quotation. We can also maintain our own currency pair for the calculation using transaction code ONOT.
In Exchange rate we can maintain 'Currency conversion rate'. Through this configuration, we can calculate the loss/gain from the currency exchanges.
Buying Rate – G
Selling Rate – B
Average Rate – M
We can also maintain ratios between two currencies
Currency exchange rate mentioned in OB08
We can delete and restore exchange rates which are not in use. Using transaction OB08 we can maintain 'Currency Exchange Rate' table. In this table, loss/gain from exchange rate between currencies is calculated automatically. Exchange rate differences appear at the time of transaction and Loss/Gain from exchange rate also posted automatically to the respective account.
Please send us your questions, comments or assistance, and our team would be glad to assist you.

We launched our Annual Giving program this past December. A lot of meetings and brainstorming sessions went into redesigning the letter, pledge form, and e-Solicitation email. Let us know what you think of the designs! We raised double the amount from last year for the APAP and nearly triple the amount for the HomeSpun initiative. For all who answered both our calls, thank you! We are grateful for your enthusiasm and support. You may have noticed our revamped "Thank you" letters. They are personally signed by staff and include a sidebar on how you can get involved and stay informed.
In the Year of the Dragon, our goal is to reach 100% participation from previous donors and grow our list of supporters by 50%. We need your help! If you would like to volunteer your time and/or skills, please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

EFFORTS to make the world's cities better places to live in are overlooking science and technology, according to a panel of more than seventy national science academies. As the UN conference on human settlements, dubbed Habitat II, opened in Istanbul earlier this week, the academies complained that the urban action plan being prepared at the conference virtually ignores science.
A statement from the Inter-Academy Panel on International Issues, which met in Istanbul last weekend, claims that "the potential for science and technology to solve the problems of the world's multiplying cities has not been realised." The document calls for a broader discussion of how science and technology can be harnessed to prevent urban pollution and help the hundreds of millions of urban poor who are without basic services such as clean water, shelter and sanitation.
"The fact is that science and technology have a crucial role and responsibility in providing ...

The year isn't quite over yet, seniors: there are still a few dates and events to attend before finally bidding CHS "adieu". The counseling department is trying to help you stay organized with the final senior bulletin, which includes important dates and information on the senior breakfast, senior awards, senior trip to Six Flags, honor stoles, dual credit, the graduation rehearsal and ceremony, as well as other counseling information.
The bulletin also has information on a new technology that friends and family can use to watch graduation even if they can't make it to Denton – CHS will be streaming the ceremony live on the internet for a $9.95 viewing donation. Be sure to give the bulletin a glance-through to make sure you're reading to tie all the loose ends before leaving high school for good.

Gold, silver and bronze medals awarded at Finger Lakes competition
Woof'n Rose owners Stephen and Marilyn Kahle moved from St. Louis to Ramona in 1982. They've owned their current property for 25 years. Marilyn Kahle said wine has been her adult beverage of choice since she was old enough to drink.
"Like everybody else you start with the sweet stuff and move your way through," she said.
The Kahles started growing grapes in 1995 and were bonded in 2007. They grow seven varietals of red grapes — merlot, cabernet franc, Grenache, Alicante bouchet, malbec, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. They sell seven kinds of wine, including a 2010 California chardonnay grown from grapes they purchase from San Ynez Valley, priced from $18 to $28.
The Kahles sell their wine and hold tastings at their winery by appointment only seven days a week.
Woof'n Rose has roughly 1,600 vines and produces 300 cases a year.
This is the third year the Kahles entered wines into the Finger Lakes competition, and they've medaled each time. Their wine has also been featured at Oya Restaurant and Lounge in Washington, D.C., for the past four years. The restaurant carries the 2008 estate cabernet franc reserve.
The 2008 reserve will also be one of three American wines from Ramona Valley pitted against three French wines from Rhone and Loire valley in a competition Friday in San Diego. The French American wine challenge begins at 6 p.m. at Fifty Seven Degrees, 1735 Hancock St. Tickets are $30 prepaid, $40 at the door.
The Cullens and the Kahles belong to the Ramona Valley Vineyard Association, the Ramona Valley Wine Association and the San Diego County Vendors Association. They say there is camaraderie between themselves and the other wineries in Ramona, and they often refer customers to each other.

Driving Test
How much do you remember?
By Deb Acord
CTW Features
Most adult drivers are happy to view their test-taking days in the rearview mirror – and it shows. One in five U.S. drivers couldn't pass a written driving test if they took it today. The National Drivers Test survey by GMAC Insurance found that 16.4 percent of drivers – nearly 37 million people – could not meet the basic requirements to qualify for a driver's license.
In the seventh national survey, drivers in Kansas came out on top, with an average test score of 82.9 percent. Drivers in Washington, D.C. came in last with a 71.8 percent score.
There was a gender gap. One in four women failed the test, and a little more than one in 10 men failed. The survey polled 5,130 licensed drivers 16 to 65 who were tested with 20 questions from state Department of Motor Vehicles exams.
"All drivers need a refresher course when it comes to rules of the road and it begins with education," says GMAC's Scott Eckman.
Would you pass a pop quiz? Test your driving knowledge with these questions from driving tests compiled by GMAC:
1. If a traffic signal light is green and a police officer signals you to stop, you should:
A. Obey the traffic officer.
B. Obey the traffic signal.
C. First obey the traffic officer, then the signal.
D. Do what the vehicle in front of you does.
2. The best way to tell if you are permitted to pass other vehicles is to see if:
A. There is a green flashing light.
B. The road ahead is straight.

Chief Technology Officers enjoy a hefty income, with average pay passing six figures ($147K) annually in the United States. In the world of Chief Technology Officers, total cash compensation ranges from $85K on the lower end to $247K on the higher end; this includes bonuses that reach $51K and profit sharing that approaches $45K in rare cases, with some high rollers snagging commissions as high as $72K. Career duration and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Chief Technology Officers. A large number report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a fair number collect dental insurance.

Chief Technology Officers report using a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Leadership, Software Architecture, Product Development, and Java are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 5 percent and 11 percent.

Like those of Pac Man and his wife, the average human life consists of a maze of daily stresses, that if not escaped could result in blob-like evils cornering you into a tension-filled doom. Escape the stress and embark on an adventure of the complete opposite with today's Groupon: 3 nights' accommodation and 2-hour horse ride for 6 people for R4320 at Alpine Heath Resort.
Comfortably snug in the Northern Drakensburg, the picturesque setting of the Alpine Heath Resort would make Heidi and the Von Trapp family jealous. Surrounded by crystal clear streams and fresh mountain air, the four star Afro-Swiss designed mountain lodge may just make you want to inhale a large amount of Oxygen and exhale into song and choreographed dance.
Though, if you, like most people, feel that singing to a choreographed dance routine should be reserved for a Bollywood movie, you'll probably emit a gleeful cry when you discover the wealth of nature-embracing activities Alpine Heath and the surrounds have to offer. Embark on a two-hour horse riding adventure with five friends or family and come face to face, with the beautiful Nooitgedacht horses. Apart from reacquainting yourself with these majestic creatures, the resort is also in close proximity to other activities like zip-line slides and hiking trips, and if you decide to bring little people along they can engage in child-friendly activities in the Kids WOW Zone.
With the kids happily cocooned in activities, you'll have time to indulge in some couple-time in lavish restaurants at the Village Square. Of course, if all you wanted was the lazy getaway, you're more than welcome to lap up the heat and lay yourselves out in front of the fire, sprawled like African straw mats.
Whether you decide to round up a group of friends, or forge your children's exam results in search of a reason for a family vacation, the country-style resort is perfect for anyone seeking a green getaway from Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde, as well as an escape from the concrete jungle.
Travel Fact: In Switzerland, it is unheard of to go without wearing a pair of sunglasses indoors. Because it is incredibly cold outside, incredibly bright light bulbs are used indoors, to radiate heat as well as to light up the interior.

Richard Trask's third book recently came out--I just got it today from Last Hurrah. It is called That Day in Dallas: Three Photographers Capture on Film the Day President Kennedy Died. It is large-format, magazine-sized.
The book is divided into three parts, with the stories of Cecil Stoughton (White House photographer), James Altgens (A.P. local photographer), and James Murray (local Dallas photojournalist). Each section contains a great many of the photographer's pictures, some not previously published. Many of the photos are half or full page.
The Stoughton section includes a photo of Robert Knudsen, the new witness on the autopsy photos, all of Stoughton's November 22 photos, and a still from the rare Jimmy Darnell film.
The Altgens section includes full-frame reproductions of the photos, including contact prints, and several Richard Bothun photos, along with Bob Jackson's photo of Billy Lovelady in the shirt he wore that day, taken in 1971.
The Murray section includes more Murray photos than have been published in one place before, with a William Allen, a couple of Willis photos, a still from the A.J. L'Hoste film, and a photo of James Hosty talking with Assistant D.A. Bill Alexander outside Capt. Fritz's office. There are even four rare Oswald photos.
* * *
...the magazine format version of Robert Groden's The Killing of a President, which includes things not in the book version: the complete Dillard photo showing the west end window (the book included a blowup, but not the complete photo itself); ALL of the "missing" Zapruder frames (154-157, 207-212) in color; a new HSCA photo of Connally's suit, which is clearer than what we've seen before; and a color detail from the Bronson film Elm Street sequence (Trask's other recent book, Photographic Memory, includes a black a white full-frame blowup of the Bronson frame equivalent to Z-313).
Recently, I also posted these new book notes:
For those who don't recall vividly the chaotic and creative atmosphere of 1968, there is
1968: Marching in the Streets by Tariq Ali (former British underground newspaper editor) and Susant Watkins. It provides a month-by-month chronicle of the events of the year, well illustrated, including the protests, the assassinations, etc.
Also of interest is a new reference tome:
Assassination: The Politics of Murder by Linda Laucella. It begins with the assassination of King David's son in 990 B.C., and ends with Yitzhak Rabin in 1995. It covers the familiar, and some unfamiliar, from around the world. Where there is controversy about a particular assassination, the various points of view are summarized.
In the case of the JFK assassination, a brief JFK bio is provided; then a brief bio of Lee Harvey Oswald, noting his reported connection to Guy Banister. A bit of historical background is provided, and the author describes Oswald carrying a "four feet long" package to work. The account of the assassination itself is relatively objective. It says Oswald "reportedly" shot Tippit. There is a discussion of the autopsy, including a summary of comments by Robert Groden. Then the funeral; Oswald's death; a summary of the various investigations; a section on the Warren Commission refers to Gerald Posner's "claims," and notes some of his misleading approaches; many questions are outlined in the discussion of the Garrison investigation; various alternative theories are outlined; and subsequent events relating to Jack Ruby are summarized. A similar approach is taken with Malcolm X, Dr. King, and RFK.
Overall, quite a useful reference.
Thanks, Harold!

Climate Change Impacts and Strategies
Click Here
for PDF version.
"The most important number in the world right now is 350," says Steve Crawford, Director of the Passamaquoddy Tribes' Environmental Department. He's quoting James Hansen, Director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and one of the world's leading authorities on climate change. Hansen is referring to parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; CO
is rising and is responsible for much of the planet's present warming. "If humanity wishes to preserve a planet similar to that on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted," Hansen recently wrote, "...CO
will need to be reduced...to at most 350 ppm."
That stark assessment is particularly chilling when you consider atmospheric carbon now stands at nearly 390 parts per million and as of late 2008 the federal government was doing little to bring that level down. Although Crawford believes the incoming
administration will substantially increase climate change mitigation efforts on the national level, he isn't waiting for the feds to act. His tenacious focus on global warming and its mitigation, he half-jokes, presently takes up "110% of my time."
Those activities include developing alternative energy sources for Maine's Passamaquoddy Tribes, providing outreach to tribal members, consulting with a variety of government and tribal entities, and doing nonstop climate change evangelism with anyone willing to listen.
Our Climate Future is Now
In his role as chair of the Natural Resources Committee of the United South and Eastern Tribes (USET) cooperative, Crawford recently surveyed 25 Northeastern and Southern tribal environmental managers to determine how climate change is impacting their communities. His findings: Although they're aware of the issue, most managers are presently too bogged down in more immediate concerns. "It's on their radar," he says, "but because the worst impacts seem to be maybe a decade out, it just doesn't seem to grabbing hold of them yet."
Crawford believes climate change impacts are already here and are revealing themselves in a wide range of ecological impacts. "My biggest concern right now is the oceans," he says. "I used to make a living growing nori [a seaweed used to wrap sushi] off the coast here in the '90s. At the time, ocean acidity was at about 8.04. Now it's 7.92 [7.0 represents a balance between acid and alkaline; lower numbers equal higher acidity]. I've looked at a lot of research on lobsters and crustaceans. It looks like when pH gets to about 7.90, they can't survive because they can't process the calcium and magnesium carbonate they need for shell development." Ocean pH is dropping due to increased uptake of carbon dioxide; without a worldwide reversal in carbon output into the atmosphere, the acidity level will increase.
The potential impacts on lobsters and shellfish-resources on which several Northeastern coastal tribes depend remains unclear. New England lobster harvesters have seen a rise in a shell wasting disease of unknown origin; the disease has rendered many lobsters unmarketable. "It's in line with what I'm looking at," Crawford says, "although nature isn't quite that cut and dried. I suspect the threshold [for shell-related problems] is probably lower [than the research indicates]."
Water temperature in the Atlantic off Maine and in the state's rivers remains cold enough, he says, to support salmonids such as brook trout and salmon. Crawford predicts that within five years, however, rising water temperatures to the south such as at Cherokee, NC, where Cherokee people depend on "put and take" fishing as part of their livelihood will cause the extirpation of all salmonid species in lower New England and farther south.
Storms, he says, are intensifying. In late November when this interview took place, a "Nor'easter" (severe wind and precipitation blowing off the ocean) had just occurred, another was approaching the day we spoke, and a third was predicted for later in the week. "That frequency is unusual," he says. Storm based erosion recently washed out local roads. "That's never happened before." He says increasing runoff will likely impact rivers and streams in the coming years, as well as the creatures that rely on them.
Research on regional storm events is lacking, Crawford acknowledges, and observations like his remain largely anecdotal. There's no doubt, however, about changes occurring in the region's forest ecosystems. Tribes that include the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot and Mohawk are seeing dramatic shifts in the forest makeup. For years, the dominant spruce fir association has been clear cut for harvests that go primarily to paper mill processing. These days, warmer temperatures spur re-growth in those cleared areas not back to spruce and fir but rather to hardwoods, primarily oak and maple.
"Those are valuable woods," he says, "but they require different harvesting equipment and techniques. You're talking a half million dollar operation for the skidder and other equipment. Most tribes just don't have that kind of money. This is 100% related to climate change."
Global warming has also begun to impact the Passamaquoddy Tribes' primary money crop, blueberries. They experienced a bumper yield last year on their 5000 acres of blueberry fields the largest single entity operation in the world. But the incursion of a species of grass from farther south created serious problems once the berries reached maturity. "The grass grows to five feet tall," Crawford explains, "so even though we had a great growing year, it was much harder to harvest. We probably lost 10-20% of the crop yield because the grass was too hard to get through."
Warmer temperatures seem to be encouraging the gradual movement north of other southerly plant species as well. "Sweetgrass" and black ash used by regional tribes for basketweaving, grow more difficult to find each year. Crawford says the decline in ash began as far back as the '50s, but he suspects climate change is a major factor in the tree's thinning numbers.
New insects are also invading the region, he says. Existing pests, notably ticks, are multiplying exponentially in the warming Northeastern climate and are laying waste to Maine's moose population. "They're basically draining them dry," he says. "Wildlife biologists describe this as one of the biggest wildlife problems we have." Insects from more southerly latitudes are moving north, too, Crawford says; the impacts of this ecological shift remain unclear.
Local Action to Change the World
Crawford devotes much of his present effort at Passamaquoddy to addressing climate-change issues. The tribe is focusing on several areas: wind, solar, and tidal power generation; re-gasification from the local landfill; and algae based biodiesel production.
Three sites on the reservation have been identified as productive wind turbine sites. One is in preliminary development and two more are undergoing feasibility studies. Two Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pilot projects, funded by BIA, will soon be underway as part of a three year study; the turbines are set to be installed off the tribe's coast this summer. Development of a cooperative solid waste re-gasification project with Washington County Towns is progressing. And the tribe is presently working with the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance to arrange for solar panel installations on tribal homes by winter of 2009.
Already underway at Passamaquoddy is a unique project that turns algae into diesel fuel. The process, Crawford says, is one that any tribe can develop, utilizing a few basic pieces of equipment and knowledge gleaned from the Internet. "The algae program was one I could do without grants," he explains. "You grow algae vertically, in one foot diameter tubes. Other tribes, such as the Eastern Cherokees, are really interested in what we're doing."
"We have some [algae-growing tubes] at our sewage treatment plant. If you have 2000 gallons of these things and harvest every four days, you can make 300 gallons of biodiesel per month, and it'll run any diesel engine. You can do this process in your kitchen." Diesel produces substantially less carbon dioxide than gasoline, and the process is carbon neutral, as the algae takes in CO2 to grow. By next spring the tribe will have installed a 1000 gallon array of algae growing tubes. Crawford points out that plant to diesel production is something individuals can achieve with minimal effort and financial outlay. "If you built a 10'x20' greenhouse in your backyard," he says, "you could make your own diesel and never have to go to a gas station again." Right now, he says, biodiesel can be produced for about $2 per gallon a price that might not presently seem too attractive with the price of gas having plunged in recent months. The cost of gas will rise again, however, as it always does, and Crawford emphasizes that tribal sovereignty is strongly enhanced when a tribe achieves fuel independence.
A Structure for Climate Protection
For the tribes, Crawford believes, a good model for climate change mitigation and/or adaptation could mimic the four part format the Bureau of Indian Affairs now uses to fund its Integrated Resource Management program, a general support mechanism for tribes. The structure, he says, could be easily adapted, and would involve four steps:
Measure the amount of climate change in your area.
Recognize what the changes are. "That takes some study."
Develop a plan of action. For example, if local plants used in basket making are disappearing, finding a substitute plant might be an option. Developing a renewable energy source to power tribal generators or other equipment, thereby reducing GHG emissions and helping the tribe achieve energy independence, might be another goal.
Find the funding to implement the plan.
Crawford believes immediate action is required to reverse a warming process that will otherwise have catastrophic consequences for all. Until the federal government steps in with an aggressive plan that pulls together the nation's will and resources, states and tribes will continue to be the main drivers of the climate change response effort. He notes, "Jim Hansen points out that people were saying sea-level rise wouldn't really hit until around 2100. He says it could be a big issue by 2030. This is not way down the road; this is right now."

About Registration and Enrollment
Registering for Classes
Dropping Courses
Information for Faculty
Registration is the systematic process that reserves seats in particular classes for eligible students. It is accomplished by following the steps announced by the student's home school in advance of each semester's registration period.
Enrollment is the completion of the registration process, and affords the full rights and privileges of student status. Enrollment is accomplished by the payment or other satisfaction of tuition and fees and by the satisfaction of other obligations to the University.
Registration alone does not guarantee enrollment; nor does registration alone guarantee the right to participate in a class. In some cases, students need to obtain the approval of the instructor or of a representative of the department that offers a course. Please check your school's bulletin and the registration instructions contained in Student Services Online (SSOL) at https://ssol.columbia.edu for all of the approvals required.
To comply with current and anticipated Internal Revenue Service mandates, Columbia University requires all students to report their Social Security Numbers at the time of admission. We strongly recommend that all newly admitted students who do not have a Social Security Number should obtain one well in advance of their first registration. International students should consult the International Students and Scholars Office for further information.
According to University regulations, each person who completes registration is considered a student of the University during the semester for which they register, unless the student's enrollment status is altered. No student registered in any school/college of the University shall at the same time be registered in any other school/college, either of Columbia University or of any other institution.
The privileges of the University are not available to any student until they have completed enrollment. A student who is not officially registered for a University course may not attend the course. No student may register after the stated period unless he or she obtains the consent, written or electronic, of the appropriate dean or director.
The University reserves the right to withhold the privilege of registration or any other University privilege from any person with an unpaid debt to the University. Students are also held accountable for absences incurred owing to late enrollment.
Information on registration and enrollment for Summer Session courses is located here.
Registration for each term occurs within designated periods. Within these periods, you will be assigned specific registration appointment times. Your appointment times will generally be available on Student Services Online (SSOL) two weeks prior to the registration period, but specific registration instructions are announced by each school in advance of each registration period.
Students often register by hierarchy during registration periods as established by each school. Some schools determine appointment distributions by class standing, others by random selection. Certain cohorts of students may receive priority registration appointments when deemed appropriate by their school or program. The Office of the University Registrar adheres to each school's guidelines for setting registration appointments.
You must be registered for at least one class prior to the first day of classes each term. Otherwise, you may be charged a late registration fee.
You will not be permitted to register if a hold has been placed on your student account. To find out if you have a registration hold, check Holds on SSOL.
All students may register on Student Services Online (SSOL) during their assigned appointment times. You will need your UNI and UNI password.
If you are not able to register through SSOL, check with your school for the proper procedure.
Some classes may be blocked for web registration and require approval, written or electronic. SSOL will indicate this when you try to register. Registration Adjustment Forms submitted to the Student Service Center in 205 Kent Hall must have proper approval signatures and will not be accepted if the class is available for registration using SSOL.
The Wait List feature for course registration in SSOL went live for participating schools and departments on the first day of classes, Tuesday, September 3, 2013.
Students may choose within SSOL to place themselves on course Wait Lists, which are of two varieties: either autofill or self-managed by the faculty.
During the Change of Program period, students can add and drop courses using SSOL. Online Wait Lists continue to be available during this period.
Students must use the last day of the Change of Program period to resolve any course conflicts and point overages. If a schedule overlap is created through registration using the Wait List, the student must resolve the overlap in SSOL by the end of the Change of Program period, or submit a petition to his or her home school according to its established policies.
Following the Change of Program period, the Post-Change of Program Add/Drop Period begins. Students in some schools may add or drop courses in SSOL, with faculty or departmental approval, until the drop deadline. Once faculty or departmental approval is granted, students will be sent an email to that effect and then must complete the registration action in SSOL by officially adding the course to their schedule.
By completing registration actions, students acknowledge responsibility for the accuracy of their schedule and assume responsibility for associated financial and academic penalties.
Students in some schools may drop a course online by appointment using SSOL until the drop deadline. With the exception of certain courses, the final dates for dropping courses are on the Academic Calendar.
Failing to attend or providing unofficial notification to the instructor do not constitute dropping a course. Students who stop attending class without officially withdrawing or dropping must be assigned a grade by the instructor even if they have not completed any substantive work in the course.
The Post-Change of Program Add/Drop Period feature for course registration adjustments in SSOL went live for participating schools on Monday, February 3, 2014, following the Spring 2014 Change of Program period. The Post-Change of Program Add/Drop Period allows students to add and drop certain courses, subject to approval by their school and/or the instructor, online. Students are responsible for any financial liabilities that result.
We have developed the following reference documents to help students use this service:
The Wait List feature is available to faculty (and students) using Student Services Online (SSOL).
Faculty have two options for Wait List management:
Our Faculty Quick Guide (PDF) shows the brief, step-by-step process for using the available Wait List options.
The Post-Change of Program Add/Drop Period tool provides an electronic mechanism for students to add/drop courses after the Change of Program period by electronically routing requests to the course instructor and, where appropriate, the student's advisor, using SSOL (https://ssol.columbia.edu). The tool allows the student to add a course in SSOL following online approval from the instructor and, where necessary, the advisor, as well as electronically manage course drops.
Our Faculty Quick Guide (PDF) shows the brief, step-by-step process for using the Post-Change of Program Add/Drop Period tool.
The Change of Grade tool is available to faculty using Student Services Online (SSOL).
The Electronic Change of Grade tool provides an electronic mechanism for managing grade changes in SSOL after an initial grade has been submitted, significantly shortening the time required to post grade changes in SIS and display them to students.
Our Change of Grade Overview (PDF) shows the brief, step-by-step process for using the electronic Change of Grade tool.

As the eye of Hurricane Sandy loomed a few hundred miles to the southeast and the monster storm churned toward the Mid-Atlantic coast, Marylanders braced for the arrival of a weather system with the potential to be the most damaging to hit the United States in 75 years.
Heavy rains and some gale-force winds hit the region Sunday evening, and still heavier rains and hurricane-force gusts were expected to strike late Monday and Monday night. Forecasters said the storm, currently rated as a Category 1 hurricane, would likely cause flash flooding, widespread power outages and treacherous road conditions.

The 2008 terror attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul was sanctioned and monitored by senior officials of Pakistan's ISI, a book by senior journalist Carlotta Gall has said.
The suicide car bomb attack on the embassy on July 7, 2008, had left 58 people — including two top Indian officials — killed and over 140 injured.
"The embassy bombing was no operation by rogue ISI agents acting on their own. It was sanctioned and monitored by the most senior officials in Pakistani intelligence," writes Gall in The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan 2001-2004, which will be out next month.
The then Bush Administration, that received advance intelligence information, mainly through intercepts of phone calls, could not prevent the deadly attack, wrote Gall, who covered the Af-Pak conflict for 10 years.
The bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul "revealed the clearest evidence of ISI complicity in its planning and execution", according to excerpts from the book provided to PTI.
"American and Afghan surveillance intercepted phone calls from ISI officials in Pakistan and heard them planning the attack with the militants in Kabul in the days leading up to the bombing. At the time, intelligence officials monitoring the calls did not know what was being planned, but the involvement of a high-level official in promoting a terrorist attack was clear.
"The evidence was so damning that the Bush administration dispatched the deputy chief of the CIA, Stephen Kappes, to Islamabad to remonstrate with the Pakistanis. The bomber struck, however, before Kappes reached Pakistan," she writes.
"Investigators found the bomber's cellphone in the wreckage of his exploded car. They tracked down his collaborator in Kabul, the man who had provided the logistics for the attack. That facilitator, an Afghan, had been in direct contact with Pakistan by telephone," Gall writes.
"The number he had called belonged to a high-level ISI official in Peshawar. The official had sufficient seniority that he reported directly to ISI headquarters in Islamabad," she claims in her book, running into more than 300 pages.
While Pakistan has repeatedly denied its involvement in the embassy attack, several mainstream US newspapers, including The New York Times, and the governments of India and Afghanistan have accused the ISI of being behind the attack.
The Afghanistan government's investigations had revealed that the car used by the suicide bombers had been packed with tank shells and mines with Pakistan ordnance factory markings, besides over 100 kg of RDX. Before the embassy hit, most attacks in Kabul since the fall of the Taliban had involved use of a rudimentary IED or, at most, a suicide bomber with RDX.
Gall writes that the choice of the attack was revealing. "This was not a subtle attack needling an old foe. It was a massive car bomb detonated in the centre of …continued »

`/etc/init.d/networking restart` is a bit drastic a hammer for just
about anything dealing with network interfaces. Use the `ifup` and

Let's face it, before Reagan's policies we were close to deficit free.

Let's face it, what you've supported has failed. It takes a mature person to admit that. It takes an immature person to keep posting pictures and mindlessly repeating talking points created by the people that created the mess.

But that's not the case this year: Four Democrats, each with at least 16 years of service at the state Capitol, are being challenged in primaries Aug. 12.
So the stakes are high and the gloves are off.
"This race is all about that I supported Caruso for mayor — not Finch," Keeley said. "It's a classic battle between David and Goliath — little Bobby [Keeley] against the moneyed interests of the suburbs. But I brought my slingshot."
Keeley is facing trial attorney Auden C. Grogins, a former city council member and former president of the Bridgeport school board who was defeated in her re-election bid in 2007.
"She's the only person on Finch's slate who lost last year," Keeley said. "He's a puppeteer, and she's one of the marionettes."
But Grogins sharply rejected that characterization, noting that Mario Testa, the powerful chairman of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee, broke a tie to award Keeley the Democratic nomination in the race.
"I think it's just the opposite," Grogins said. "I think Mario is the puppeteer, and Keeley is the marionette."
The two have been arguing over whether Keeley has been an effective advocate for Bridgeport during his 24 years in the legislature. Keeley's supporters say the city cannot afford to lose him because he is now co-chairman of the powerful bonding subcommittee through which he can deliver important projects to the cash-strapped city. On Monday, the State Bond Commission is expected to award $1.1 million to the city to repair a firehouse in the Black Rock section.
Adam Wood, Finch's chief of staff, said the mayor's office solicited the funds directly for the firehouse in a multi-pronged effort. He said there is "no truth" to Keeley's statements that Finch is a puppeteer, and he said that Finch did not ask Grogins to run against Keeley. He also denied Keeley's statements that the mayor's office — and Wood — are running Grogins' campaign.
Among the 19 legislative primaries, some of the nastiest are in Bridgeport. One is a rematch between state Rep. Andres Ayala Jr. and Lydia Martinez, a former three-term legislator who was ousted by Ayala in an August 2006 primary, 61 percent to 39 percent. Some insiders believe that race will be closer this time.
Also, Caruso — with 18 years at the Capitol, one of the longest-serving legislators — is being challenged by Bridgeport city council member Carlos Silva. Two other incumbents — 16-year veteran Terry Backer of Stratford and 16-year lawmaker Marie Kirkley-Bey of Hartford — are being challenged for their seats. Backer is facing Democrat Michael Singh, while Kirkley-Bey is facing North End political stalwart Abe Giles.
One of the hottest primary races statewide pits state Rep. John "Corky" Mazurek against political neophyte Karen A. Houghtaling, a 41-year-old grandmother who works two jobs as a receptionist and a waitress in Waterbury. Houghtaling has major backing from union and liberal groups, such as Connecticut Citizen Action Group, the United Auto Workers, AFSCME Council 4 and the Working Families Party.
One Democratic legislator said the race is "too close to call," while CCAG Executive Director Tom Swan said Houghtaling could pull off an upset.
"I would not be the least bit surprised to see her beat him," Swan said.
While Mazurek is better known as a three-term incumbent, Houghtaling has the same amount of money — $15,000 — to spend under the new campaign finance reform law.
But House Speaker James Amann strongly disagreed that Mazurek will have difficulty in Wolcott, a conservative-leaning town where Mazurek has lived for more than 30 years. By contrast, Houghtaling moved to the small town only two years ago and has never held public office.
"The bottom line is not one of our incumbents is in trouble," said Amann, who plans to campaign with Mazurek on Monday. "The people of Wolcott love him. Corky Mazurek will be a repeat legislator. The guy did nothing wrong to his community. They're not going to knock him out."

Live NHL Playoffs Betting: Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens Pick Game 6
- Updated: April 25, 2011
After four games that went to the road team, the Boston Bruins made the Stanley Cup playoffs lines in Game 5 in Beantown to take a 3-2 series lead. If the Montreal Canadiens want to save their season, they'll have to end a three game skid on Tuesday at hold serve at home at the Bell Centre against their hated rivals.
Jeff Halpern has only seen the ice for two games out of the five in this series, but he was the only man that was able to find the score sheet for the Canadiens in Game 5. He scored the game tying goal late in the third period to force the free hockey. Michael Cammalleri didn't have his hands in on that goal, which seems to be a rarity nowadays. Cammalleri, one of the top scorers on this team in the regular season, netted two goals and had five assists in the previous three games in this series before Game 5, and as the only man on the team with more than three points in this best of seven, he should be expected to come up in a big way to save Montreal's season. Of course, we really feel for Carey Price right now in net. Price has a 2.00 GAA and a .938 save percentage, and he really has been fantastic in net in this series, but he just hasn't had enough to baffle the Bruins offense consistently, and it is really hurting the team.
The man opposing Price in net, Tim Thomas, really hasn't had a good season against the Canadiens, and he really hasn't had all that great of a series yet either. However, when push came to shove in Game 5, the soon to be Vezina Trophy winner stopped 45-of-46 shots, including everything that came his way in the overtime period to send the Bruins to their biggest victory on the NHL betting lines to date. Just like Montreal, the Bruins are having a lot of problems getting production from their top scorers. Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara only have one assist apiece in the five games (though Chara has only played in four of the five), while David Krejci only has one goal and no helpers thus far against Boston. Patrice Bergeron has been a superstar though, and we can't say that we didn't see it coming. Bergeron really did play some great hockey down the stretch for the B's, and he has two goals and four assists, including posting an assist on the game winner in double overtime on Saturday night.
Boston Bruins vs. Montreal Canadiens Pick: This one is basically a tossup, just as the other games in the Great White North have in this series. Boston found a way to finally win a game at the TD Garden on Saturday. Montreal will figure out how to do it on Tuesday. This series has been too good to not have a seventh game on Wednesday night. Go with the Canadiens -105.

Actress Scarlett Johansson said in her first interview since the SodaStream blowup that she is not "a role model."
"I don't see myself as being a role model," she said in an interview published Thursday in Dazed and Confused magazine, adding that she "did not want to step into those shoes."
Johansson did not directly address the conflict over her job as spokeswoman for the SodaStream company, which has a factory in the West Bank and led to her resignation as a global ambassador for the humanitarian organization Oxfam.
"How could I wake up every day and be a normal person if I was completely aware that my image was being manipulated on a global platform. How could I sleep?" she also said, adding, "you have to have peace of mind."
SodaStream signed Johansson in December to be its first global brand ambassador. The company, which manufactures home soda makers, employs Israeli and Palestinian workers at its West Bank factory in the Maale Adumim settlement. Pro-Palestinian groups had called on Oxfam to sever its ties with the actress before she resigned in late January.
"I don't profess to know more or less than anybody else," Johansson told the magazine. "If that's a by-product of whatever image is projected on to me, I don't feel responsible as an artist to give anyone that message. It's not my jam."
Johansson defended SodaStream and her involvement with the company in a statement released Jan. 24 on The Huffington Post.
