text: Submitted by KevinMcGrath on Sat, 2014-02-22 07:26 Upper Chattahoochee Chapter - 436 Cohutta - 242 Oconee River - 661 Georgia Council - 9GA Vote Up Down +910 + Peach State Trout Header.jpg February 22, 2014 Georgia Trout Unlimited (GA TU) works closely with the Georgia Wildlife Federation (GWF) and, as a member of the Georgia Water Coalition (GWC), GWC partner organizations in conserving, protecting and restoring Georgia's coldwater fisheries and their watersheds. We bring you cold, clean fishable water. Dates to watch: Yesterday, Friday, February 21st was Day 26. Monday, March 3rd is Crossover Day, Day 30. Crossover Day is the last day for legislation to pass the chamber in which it was introduced and transfer to the other chamber for consideration. Senate bills must pass the Senate, and House bills must pass the House. Any bill that does not receive a vote in its initial chamber by Day 30 cannot move on in the legislative process and must be re-introduced the following year. There are ways to finagle around the rule, but it's tricky. Thursday, March 20th is Day 40, the last day of the 2013-14 General Assembly. Any bills not passed are dead and will need to be reintroduced as new next January for the 2015-16 General Assembly. Cold Water… Watershed Planning SB 299 requires that a watershed protection plan, for the protection of watersheds of streams and reservoirs which are to be used for public water supply, be submitted to and approved by GA EPD. The originally filed egregious elements of the bill were struck in a committee substitute bill that was further modified in floor amendment by the sponsor, Sen. Steve Gooch (R) – Dahlonega, before it was passed the Senate yesterday in a 46-7 vote. SB 299 now moves to the House where it will be assigned to the natural Resources Committee. GA TU and GA Wildlife Federation forced the committee substitute with a joint Camo Coalition Alert and negotiated the floor amendment compromise with Sen. Gooch. Read our latest blog – Thank You for Keeping the Muck Out of My Trout Streams. Thank you to all TU members and friends that responded to the Camo Alert and requests for calls and emails to your Senator and Sen. Gooch. Your voice was heard. I watched the Senate floor debate online during which GA TU's position was mentioned numerous times. You have influence, if you exercise it! Georgia Reservoir Fund HB 199 would expand funding by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) include to water conservation programs in addition to reservoir construction. GA TU advocates for water conservation and expansion of existing reservoirs before costly, watershed altering new reservoirs. The bill has passed the House and awaits action by the Senate Natural Resources Committee. GA TU supports HB 199. Clean Water… Improving Georgia's Response to Emergency Pollution Spills HB 549 would require EPD to maintain an effective emergency response program and help the division keep the program staffed and funded. The bill requires appropriate and timely responses to emergencies that threaten the state's waters and public health. GA EPD's response capability was drastically reduced during recent budget cuts and only partially restored. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division's slow response to a rash of illegal spills and fish kills in Georgia's waterways has shown that the agency no longer has the capacity to adequately respond to these emergencies. HB 549 has been modified and recommitted to the Environmental Quality Subcommittee. HB 549 needs to thread a tight schedule, passing both the Environmental Quality Subcommittee and House Natural Resources Committee, before passing the full House on March 3rd, Crossover Day. Call House Natural Resources Chairwoman Lynn Smith 404-656-7149; firstname.lastname@example.com and, the bill's sponsor, Rep. Jon Burns 404-656-5099; email@example.com. Tell them to "Bring HB 549 | Emergency Response to a floor vote before Crossover Day". GA TU supports HB 549. Extending the Ban on Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) SB 306 will permanently extend the moratorium that bans the use of Aquifer Storage and Recovery in the Floridian aquifer in 11 coastal counties. The current moratorium will sunset in 2014. The practice of injecting chemically treated wastewater, surface water, or ground water down into pristine groundwater systems with the intent to withdrawal it later is known as "aquifer storage and recovery" or ASR. Pumping chemically treated water underground threatens all Georgia aquifers and could lead to degraded water quality in our streams with increased levels of arsenic that exceed drinking water quality standards and introduction of bacteria, pathogens and disinfection byproducts into Georgia's aquifers. SB 306 is assigned to Senate Natural Resources. GA TU supports amending SB 306 to extend the moratorium statewide. It appears the bill will be limited to the Floridian aquifer. Protecting Communities from Land Application of Sewage Sludge HB 741 was introduced to revise the definition of sludge, establish new requirements to ensure public hearings are held in the communities where sewage sludge will be land-applied, and to ensure that EPD permits to land-apply sewage sludge adhere to local zoning ordinances. HB 741 passed the House by a vote of 161-1 and now awaits action by the Senate Natural Resources Committee. GA TU supports the passage of HB 741. Fishable Water… Trout License Plate HB 730 and HB 180. GA TU is appalled by how HB 730 was handled by House Motor Vehicles Committee Chairman Tom Rice. Read our blog - Six Years Late and $10 Short – Kicking Trout Plates Down the Road. A committee vote was refused on HB 730, which immediately lowered fees on wildlife license plates and send more money to GA DNR, and passed HB 180, which keeps the fees at current rates and sends more money to all specialty plate sponsors - but not until 2020! GA TU supports lower fees and more money for wildlife management now. HB 180 awaits action by House Rules. Georgia Legacy SB 210 sets a framework for land acquisition, easements, working forests, and long term stewardship by the appropriate state agency. The bill represents enhancements to the existing land conservation framework. Georgia Legacy has been passed in the Senate and awaits action by the House Natural Resources Committee. Call House Natural Resources Chairwoman Lynn Smith 404-656-7149; firstname.lastname@example.com and ask her to "Bring SB 210 | Georgia Legacy to a vote". GA TU supports SB 210. Georgia Legacy Current Program vs Proposed Chart.pdf Flint River Drought Protection Act SB 213 provision threatens longstanding Georgia water rights law, private property rights, and clean water. The bill aims to revise the Flint River Drought Protection Act of 2000 and authorizes stream flow augmentation projects and prohibits downstream users from reasonable use of any water added by these projects. GA TU opposes passage of SB 213 in its current form which sets precedent to alter water rights of downstream property owners throughout Georgia. It passed the Senate last year, has been reported favorably by House Natural Resources and awaits action by House Rules to schedule a floor vote. The bill is struggling in House Rules. GA TU opposes SB 213. Reporting Returns of Water Withdrawals HB 864. Entities that have permits to withdraw water from the state's surface and ground water are not required to report how much of that water they return to the source of their withdrawal. Requiring permit holders to report the amount of water they return to the source will allow state and local entities, as well as the public, to be more informed when water management decisions are made and safeguard stream flows. The GA TU is supporting the passage of legislation that requires permit holders to report to EPD the amount of water they return to its source of withdrawal. It's all about the water. Cold, clean fishable water provides quality fishing but it goes well beyond recreation. It also provides for healthy communities and strong economies. Protecting, reconnecting, restoring and sustaining the coldwater fisheries that flow through our communities and lives leads to healthy communities and strong economies. Trout exist only in cold, clean fishable water. They are a proverbial "canary in the coal mine", indicating how well our rivers and streams are being maintained. Kevin F.

Who's the guy in charge of naming Santa Monica parks? Surely they could find some more inspiring moniker than Beach Park 1 for this spectacular swath of buzz-cut-thin grass accented by towering palm trees, a place that solves the age-old "Everyone wants to be near the beach but no one wants to deal with sand" paradox. The north-side strip is perfect for a pickup football game, where you can feel like you're playing near the ocean without the wide receivers slipping around on every play. I had my birthday party here once, and leading up to the party I actually purchased grass seeds and planted them to patch up some areas I was told were created by soccer players in cleats. This is the kind of park that sparks such civic duty. In fact, is there an opening for Santa Monica park namer? How hard could it be?

The south side of the Silver Lake Reservoir has long been popular for its playground, basketball court and (stinky) dog park. But earlier this year we finally saw the debut of the Silver Lake Meadow, a mellow, grassy haven located on the east side of the water. The no-dogs-allowed, bare-feet-welcome space is considered a "quiet place," and so far it has lived up to its name. The best part is how empty it tends to be, particularly on weekdays. But even on weekends there's plenty of room to spread out with a picnic blanket, without fear of a stray Frisbee landing in the middle of your feast. In fact, if you're there with your family, you might want to take advantage of another cool element of the location — the breeze off the reservoir. It's an ideal spot for flying kites. Even if you might need to launch it into the air, once it's up, even your kindergartener can keep it high. Silver Lake Reservoir, Silver Lake.

Four miles north of the 210 freeway in Altadena, the Cobb Estate sits at the top of Lake Avenue at the corner of Loma Alta Drive. If you want a quick commune with nature after work, take the half-mile loop around the grounds, filled with eucalyptus, pepper and acacia trees, wild buckwheat and mustard. Your leashed dog is welcome. Enter through the historic wrought-iron gates and ascend the winding paved driveway to the site of what was once one of Altadena's premier mansions, built in 1916 by lumber magnate Charles H. Cobb. The Marx Brothers bought the 107-acre tract in 1960 and planned to sell it for use as a cemetery, but local ecologists stepped in and turned it over to the Forest Service in 1971. There are several side trails you can explore, including a couple that lead down into Las Flores Canyon, a waterfall and abandoned gold mines. If you are more ambitious, take the Sam Merrill Trail to the top of Echo Mountain, 2.5 miles of switchbacks that will deposit you at the ruins of an old hotel where you will be rewarded with vistas of the city of Los Angeles with the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Locals call the spot "the Haunted Forest," so get out of there before dark, when stoner teenagers converge on the estate to get paranoid about "flashing lights" (aka flashlights). East Loma Alta Drive at Lake Ave., Altadena.

Until now, Wrightwood has been a place Angelenos visited only during the winter. Tucked away in the San Gabriel Mountains, a mere 75 miles northeast of Los Angeles, the town's relative proximity to L.A. has made it a frequent destination for skiers, snowboarders, sledders and other people who like snow — or just wanted to be reminded of how it looks. Now, Wrightwood has become a place to visit every season, thanks to Navitat Canopy Adventures' zipline tour. Navitat has recently adapted the winter resort into a year-round destination for thrill seekers, building a network of trails, stairs, platforms and treetop bridges, all connected by rappels and zip lines up to 1,500 feet long. High-adventure addicts have the opportunity to play Tarzan, swinging from tree to tree while soaring hundreds of feet above the canyon. It's not for the faint of heart, but it is a must-have experience for intrepid, nature-loving folks aching to get out of the city. 6047 Park Drive, Wrightwood.

Rededicated in 2008 after a partial closing for Gold Line construction, the Evergreen Jogging Path encircles one of the oldest cemeteries in L.A., home to more than 300,000 departed souls since it was established in 1877. With less drastic upward inclines if the course is taken counterclockwise, the rubber-coated running track has turned a formerly severe section of sidewalks into a recreation area shared by runners, walkers, baby strollers, bicycles and working-class pedestrians. Be wary of countering the health benefits with carnitas at 5 Puntos next door or a carb overload at El Mercadito, both along the eastern edge of the run. The Gothic crematorium and the headstones in every language are must-see jog-by scenery, making the mile-and-a-half loop remarkably pleasant. 204 N.

The gated and enclosed Lacy Park in swank San Marino is designed for anyone wanting to escape the frustrations of urban life. Run the outer path (about one mile in distance) encircling the park. Or take your racket and partake of some tennis on one of the park's six courts. Put a couple teams together and utilize the baseball field. Take a lover to the gorgeous rose garden located in the southwestern portion of the park. Despite having all these things to do, if you come here to walk your dog (doggy bags provided) or just people-watch, the park's 30 acres and its canopy of lush trees provide enough shaded areas and space to just sit and soak up the scene. Just be aware that on weekends, non–San Marino residents must pay $2 to gain entrance — and it's worth it. 1485 Virginia Road, San Marino. (626) 300-0790, ci.san-marino.ca.us/lacy.htm.

A 49-year-old woman remained in the Utah County Jail on a federal immigration hold order Thursday, the day after she was arrested in a fatal Feb. 15 FrontRunner commuter train accident.
Maria Fregoso-Avina, 49, also was formally charged Thursday in 4th District Court with class A misdemeanor negligent homicide. Prosecutors say she had not properly cleared ice from her SUV's windshield when she struck 69-year-old Douglas Crow, who worked in the Physical Facilities custodial shop at Brigham Young University.
The collision knocked Crow off his bicycle and onto the tracks, where an approaching FrontRunner train ran over him.
Police say that Fregoso-Avina, a Mexican national, did pull over after the collision. Crow was pronounced dead shortly after being rushed to a hospital.
In addition to the negligent homicide charge, Fregoso-Avina was charged with class C misdemeanor failure to maintain a proper lookout and operation, also a class C misdemeanor.
Funeral services were held Thursday for Crow, who was the father of seven children, according to his obituary. Crow was reportedly a collector, and was particularly proud of his antique bottles.
His loved spending time with his grandhildren, and his dog, Elvis, according to the obit.
Crow is survived by his wife, Nellie Crow, and their seven children.
BYU offered condolences in a prepared statement: "As a university community we are deeply saddened by the death of longtime BYU employee Douglas Crow. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time."

Pauley Pavilion wasn't quite sold out, but for moments, it would have fooled most ears.
No, UCLA shouldn't be in a fight against USC, and its crowd shouldn't have to cheer at five-point deficits. Not in basketball, where only one school is the unquestioned blueblood. But so it went for the Bruins on one of their worst shooting nights of the season, a 75-71 overtime loss to a crosstown rival with an interim coach.
As the Trojans (9-13, 4-5 Pac-12) chest-bumped at midcourt Wednesday night, any momentum UCLA had built up over the past weeks drifted out with the home crowd - most of whom turned away before the final buzzer. No need to witness the clinching free throws.
"We've got some soul-searching to do," Bruins head coach Ben Howland said.
His team seized an early lead in the extra period - their first in over 26 minutes - but couldn't capitalize against a team that turned the ball over 17 times. Ari Stewart and Jio Fontan hit the game's last three free throws to cap the scoring, their trips sandwiching a badly missed 3-pointer by Shabazz Muhammad that could have tied the score.
Muhammad had a game-high 22 points after missing practice with flu, but five Trojans scored in double figures as they snapped a four-game losing streak to UCLA (16-6, 6-3).
A week ago, the Bruins were one of the most talked-about teams in college basketball. They had just beaten then-No. 6 Arizona, giving the Wildcats their second loss while seemingly proving themselves a Pac-12 title contender.
That storyline derailed quickly, with UCLA now having lost back-to-back games for the first time all season.
Forward Aaron Fuller's effort was perhaps most surprising, one that summed up how far the Bruins have fallen in a short time. The 6-foot-6 senior scored a season-high 15 points, just his second double-digit outing of the year. Over one stretch, he scored eight of the Trojans' 11 points - many of which were close anduncontested.
"A lot of them were layups," Howland said. "A lot of them were just poor rotations, not rotating down. - I thought a lot of the baskets that Fuller got in the first half - we had like one transition bucket where we gave up a layup over the top. We made a number of errors."
The Bruins shot just 38.2 percent from the field - their third-worst effort this year - and were beaten 44-36 on the boards. Also damaging was USC making half its shots in the first half while UCLA barely scratched a third.
"It seems the guys weren't really into it," Bruins point guard Larry Drew II said. "Stops is the reason we couldn't build the lead. We just never got a chance. We have to really figure out what we've been doing wrong."*

|Home > FAQs > Cookbook > Value Stack Internals
As Matt Ho explained on the mailing list:
A value stack is essentially a List. Calling [1] on the stack,
returns a substack beginning with the element at index 1. It's only
when you call methods on the stack that your actual objects will be
Said another way, let's say I have a value stack that consists of a
model and an action as follows:
[ model, action ]
here's how the following ognl would resolve:
[0] - a CompoundRoot object that contains our stack, [model, action]
[1] - another CompoundRoot that contains only [action]
[0].toString() - calls toString() on the first object in the value
stack (excluding the CompoundRoot) that supports the toString() method
[1].foo - call getFoo() on the first object in the value stack
starting from [OS:action] and excluding the CompoundRoot that supports a
getFoo() method
I hope this doesn't sound too confusing :\
If you're using Velocity, this can most easily be written as:
Unfortunately, <ww:property value="[0].peek()"/> won't work as this
would translate into "starting at the top of the value stack (and
excluding the CompoundRoot), find the first object that has a method
called peek()"
--------thanks Matt!
here is the com.opensymphony.xwork.util.CompoundRoot class which Matt mentions:
public class CompoundRoot extends ArrayList { //~ Constructors /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// public CompoundRoot() { } public CompoundRoot(List list) { super(list); } //~ Methods //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// public CompoundRoot cutStack(int index) { return new CompoundRoot(subList(index, size())); } public Object peek() { return get(0); } public Object pop() { return remove(0); } public void push(Object o) { add(0, o); } }
NOTE: When rendering Freemarker / Velocity templates or result,
WebWork2 contains the following items by default in the ValueStack:

Here it is recommended that children receive the following vaccines by 15 months:
HepB: protects against hepatitis B
DTaP: a combined vaccine that protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough)
Hib: protects against Haemophilus influenzae type b
PCV: protects against pneumococcal disease
Polio: protects against polio, the vaccine is also known as IPV
RV: protects against infections caused by rotavirus
Influenza: protects against influenza (flu)
MMR: protects against measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles)
Varicella: protects against varicella, also known as chickenpox
HepA: protects against hepatitis A
Often children receive a main dose, followed by several boosters. This is necessary because of their still-developing immune system. Remember, vaccines are "recommended" not required. =)

There is no need to bump your posts. If someone knows the answer they will post. In the meantime start using google.
hello everyone i am having this problem with both versions of backtrack 5 32-bit (Gnome & KDE) everything works fine and its great until i try and install it to my hard drive
i have downloaded both Gnome and KDE versions of backtrack 32-bit and i copied to a 4GB USB device and booted from there, everything was running perfectly all programs etc.. then when i try to install it it starts giving me errors
i click on install backtrack and when i get to step 3 which is where i am supposed to choose my keyboard layout i choose US and i click on next and the installer crashes with the following errors:
ubi-partman failed <<< (this is what it said on the first time i tried with Gnome 32-bit)
ubi-console setup failed with exit code 1 <<< (this is what it said when i tried with KDE 32-bit)
ubi-partman failed with exit code 10 <<< (this is also what it said with KDE 32-bit)
i have had the same problem when i tried installing ubuntu 10.10 in the past and i found no solution, so am i wrong to assume that this might be happening cuz BT5 is based on ubuntu 10.10 ? i know alot of ubuntu 10.10 users have had this problem so i thought it might be related to what i am getting...
anyway any help would be highly appreciated thanks,
No help at all ?

To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
ubi-partman failed because you have to remove your usb drive otherwise it doesn't see the partitions tables. I installed kde 32b manually like bt 3!! it works pretty fine.

Contemporary Artist Award
2010—Pierre Huyghe
Pierre Huyghe is the ninth annual winner of the museum's contemporary artist award.
Huyghe was recognized by an independent panel of jurors for his pioneering vision and tireless ambition to make art that defies expectations and extends conventional practices into new territory.
The jurors wrote in their decision: "Huyghe looks beyond national boundaries to create an art that speaks to universal themes and experiences. His impressive body of work includes landmark video installations that have changed the course of contemporary film and video. He has continued to build upon this foundation, devising inventive projects that range from incisive social commentary to poetic moments of pure beauty. Simply put, Huyghe is one the most influential artists of his generation. We are as excited about what he will create next as with what he has already accomplished."
Huyghe employs diverse media to explore the boundary between fiction and reality in contemporary society. As an early innovator in multichannel video installation, Huyghe has had a profound impact on the production and presentation of film and video in contemporary art. During the last decade, his projects often have involved elaborately staged public performances that encourage direct audience participation. In each of these projects Huyghe weaves a vast array of cultural practices—architecture, film, theater, puppetry, music and literature—to create a multilayered experience.
Huyghe work has been shown broadly in the United States and Europe, with solo exhibitions at the Tate Modern in London (2006), the Carpenter Center at Harvard University (2004), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City (2003), the Dia Center for the Arts in New York City (2003), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2000) and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (2000). He also has participated in a number of international art shows, including Documenta 11 (2002), the International Istanbul Biennial (2001) and the Carnegie International (1999) at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. In 2005, the Public Art Fund commissioned Huyghe to create a live event and film shoot at the Wollman Ice Rink in New York City's Central Park, which followed a trip to Antarctica that Huyghe made with a group of like-minded artists. The journey and event culminated in "A Journey That Wasn't" (2006), a video installation first shown in the 2006 biennial exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Huyghe is represented by the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York City and Paris.
Huyghe was born in 1962 in Paris. He graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in 1985. He lives and works in New York City and Paris.

I graduated from St. Cloud State University in 2007 with a degree in Secondary Science Education. Prior to graduation I lived in Costa Rica for the summer doing research on dolphins! I taught middle school science for a few years after graduation and then took my teaching expertise to China to teach English for six months. After my arrival home from China I began working with Sophia in the fall of 2011. I enjoy all things science related especially environmental sciences and genetics. In my free time I love traveling! I also enjoy being outdoors, reading and spending time with family and friends. Life is good :)
i love soccer and basketball and football.


text: Hello everyone how are you doing? I was recently accepted to the University of North Texas Class of 2017 and this is where I want to and almost definitely will go. All that begins now is the stressful part of adjusting to Texas Residency. If you could take a moment and answer it would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance. First worry is buying a car and getting it all registered and ready to go within about a week is what we are hoping. We will be most likely flying down a week before myself actually moving in on campus and we hope to buy a used car in Texas. How long do you think this process will take? Everything that is involved in buying my first car, such as registering, insurance, ect. Second, I will need to have my New York State Driver License change into a Texas license. Do I have to take the driving test and do everything over, or can I just switch my NY one with a TX license? Lastly, is there anything else I really need to do to become a full Texas resident? It's a very stressful time and I want to get all of the residential issues done with before actually moving into the dorms. You help is very much appreciated!!!!

Aye thats the guy mike. Altho I am pretty sure I seen Craig dick beat him on a cage kombat show. Good fighter tho.
The Silverback.......Semi Pro Fighter 3-0.
oh aye my friend sean mcdonald from the fighters hive who in my opinion has the talent to be the countries number one lightweight if only he was more into mma,sadly though he still loves muay thai too much to fully commit to mma but yeah so far he is 1-0-0 at lw huge prospect though,wee also have ahsan gillani fighting out of the fighters hive at 66kg who is 1-1-0 and with ahsan recieving his blue belt (albeit unexpectedly) from gordo correa de lima upon his last visit to brazil i personnally hope to see bigger+better things from ahsan this year coming!!! i guarantee you i will think of more guys from other gyms to just gee me time cheers
I think Lee McFee has to be number 1 at semi-pro LHW ,Beat some good guys like Truesdale,G Smith etc.
i was impressed with mcfee at alloa, he looked very slick for a big fella
i think it was mcfee that stopped big graham fae the hive with body shots in an amature fight,saw him fight truesdale+he looked good there too but haevnt saw much of him since then,has he been active?

Speaker Spotlight Thursday: Dawn Quinn and Helen Pitlick
For VVHQ's first special speaker spotlight during Vegan MoFo, we thought we'd pick two ladies dear to our collective hearts.
Dawn Quinn of Vegan Moxie and Helen Pitlick of Vegtastic!, both hailing from the Seattle, WA area, are speaking at Vida Vegan's first ever one-day seminar in Seattle this November, focusing on technical aspects of blogging (their specialty: social media, naturally) AND at Vida Vegan Con 2013 in Portland.
Dawn is an expert in social media, copy editing, and champagne cocktails; so naturally we love her and want her involved in whatever we do as much as possible. She's also adorable and is starting the MCDM program at University of Washington this fall, so she's suuuper smart and stuff.
Dawn in the kitchen..
Helen is a social media maven; her tweets could make me want to attend a golfing conference with glee, which is saying a lot, considering golfing is like the boringest.
She has a Master of Communication in Digital Media from the University of Washington, Instagrams a lot, and even has time to blog. She's got the smarts and the drive, and we're super thrilled to have her involved with Vida Vegan for two different events.
Helen in the kitchen too!
For the One Day Tech Seminar on November 3 in Seattle, Helen and Dawn will be speaking on Next-Level Social Media:
How do you connect your blogging goals with social media? This intermediate-level session for people already active with Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks will explore the use of these tools to build community and craft your personal vs. blog identity. We'll look at identifying and utilizing emerging social media platforms such as Tumblr, Instagram, and Pinterest. We'll also touch upon best practices for sharing content across these different platforms.
{Tickets available here}
For Vida Vegan Con in May 2013, you'll have to stay tuned to the blog to find out what they're speaking about (schedule coming soon!). Rest assured, everything these ladies do is wicked smart, organized, enthralling and educational.
We love Helen and Dawn, and heck, all of our speakers, and are super proud to have them involved with Vida Vegan.

3 Reds are All-Stars
The right side of the National League's All-Star infield will be comprised of Reds after the fans elected first baseman Joey Votto and second baseman Brandon Phillips as starters.
Votto and Phillips will be joined by closer Aroldis Chapman, who was also named to the NL pitching staff during the MLB All-Star Selection Show presented by Taco Bell on Saturday.
The 2013 All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field in New York on Tuesday, July 16. Come to MLB.com for extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
Votto received 5,128,515 votes, which bested second-place Paul Goldschmidt's 4,269,685 votes.
Phillips received 4,799,417 votes, which put him ahead of the Cardinals' Matt Carpenter, who received 4,337,408 votes.
Having teammates elected by fans to start together at first base and second base is an All-Star rarity which has happened only five times before. The others were Steve Garvey and Davey Lopes in 1979-80 for the Dodgers; Pete Rose and Manny Trillo for the Phillies in 1982; the Astros' Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio in 1997 and Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks with the Brewers in 2011.
This will be Votto's fourth consecutive All-Star bid. He entered play Saturday batting .325 with 15 home runs and 40 RBIs and leading the NL in walks (60), on-base percentage (.433) and third in batting and ninth in slugging percentage.
Phillips, who was not selected as an All-Star last year, played in the 2010 and '11 games as a reserve. This season, he entered Saturday batting .265 with 12 homers and his 63 RBIs were third in the NL. Plugged into the cleanup spot since the second game of the season, Phillips also leads the Majors with 24 go-ahead RBIs and 13 game-winning RBIs. He is fifth in the league with a .391 average with runners in scoring position.
A three-time NL Gold Glove Award winner, Phillips has also made dazzling defensive plays seem a routine occurrence for the Reds.
Chapman is now a two-time All-Star after making it last year. He is 3-3 with a 2.57 ERA and 20 saves in 38 appearances. He has struck out 59 with 18 walks.

We recognize that the best results – both environmental and financial – are achieved when environmental priorities are considered from the outset of product design and for service solutions. Customer and other stakeholder feedback, along with a forward-looking view of global trends in technology, regulations and ecolabels, has led us to a comprehensive program that is based on global standards complemented by quantitative analysis.
Reducing the Environmental Impact through Xerox Services and Solutions
Our product standards encompass: energy efficiency; chemical management; packaging; parts reuse and recycling; electrical and mechanical safety; ergonomics; electromagnetic emissions; noise; fire resistance; and materials safety. Xerox business teams and the EHS&S organization review our products at each stage of the development process for conformance with EHS&S standards. This is a requirement for the introduction of any new product.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
We integrate life cycle thinking into all of our product and service development activities, as well as our innovation activities. Full Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) – in accordance with ISO 14040 series standards – are conducted for products where a significant technology difference indicates their utility. For example, full peer-reviewed LCA have been conducted on our solid ink products (8860, 8870, 8700 and ColorQube 9200 series), comparing their impacts to comparable laser devices. We also utilize a variety of streamlined approaches at various stages throughout our product development processes, starting in our earliest research stages. These approaches are applied to equipment, materials (e.g., toner formulations) and even our service offerings. For example, the Xerox Sustainability Calculator is an LCA-based tool to demonstrate the environmental benefit of optimizing the print infrastructure. We estimate that 65% of our product categories have been comprehended in full LCA, with nearly all other hardware products and many services undergoing a more targeted evaluation.
Design for Environment
Our product development group established a series of "Common Feature" documents. These define features that should be common across each class of products and are developed in advance of, and as input to, future product and platform planning cycles. Sustainability was one of the first topics developed, and was officially deployed in early 2010. This set of requirements serves as the Design for Environment requirement for equipment. In 2011, we launched a tool developed by Xerox for use in our materials research group to evaluate aspects of Safety, Energy, Materials and Sustainability (SEMS). It compares the current design to a future proposed design. The tool challenges designers to think about the whole lifecycle of the products and recognize any positive or negative impacts to the environment. By using SEMS we can quantify energy reductions, reduce risk of regulated materials and track progress over time. SEMS was designed to be used in early research and development stages to understand our tradeoffs and help make decisions early in the product lifecycle. The tool aids our researchers to understand cost, performance and environmental impact to improve our work process analysis. In 2012, this tool was further expanded to include a dashboard which provides a high level overview of the environmental impacts of all research projects relating to devices and consumables. Future work will include expanding this methodology to Xerox Services.
Machine Emissions
Consistent with the world's most stringent ecolabels, we design products to control emissions of chemicals and noise. As a result, current products have achieved chemical emission levels that are well below global regulatory requirements – often at or near the detection limit of our measurement equipment – and are considered to have a negligible impact on customers' work environments. We publish emissions data on each product's Product Safety Data Sheet, available at www.xerox.com/environment.
EPEAT (Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool) is a comprehensive environmental rating system that identifies electronic equipment meeting specific criteria, combining comprehensive criteria for design, production, energy use and recycling with ongoing independent verification of manufacturer claims. The EPEAT system was designed with purchaser input to provide an environmental assessment tool for purchasers. EPEAT criteria reflect several categories of environmental attributes that span the lifecycle of electronic products: material selection; design for end of life; product longevity/life extension; energy conservation; end-of-life management; corporate performance; packaging; consumables; and indoor air quality.
In June 2012, EPEAT was finalized for imaging equipment. This new standard (IEEE 1680.2) went into effect on January 29, 2013. We began actively registering products with the opening of the registry in 2013.
As of June 3, 2013, Xerox had registered 59 products representing 11 product families. Nearly half (47%) of the models have achieved silver status, while the remaining are bronze. Xerox has set a goal of achieving silver on all new eligible product launches in the future, and the existing registrations will be upgraded as the documentation to validate conformance is assembled. View current Xerox EPEAT registered products here: http://www.xerox.com/downloads/usa/en/x/xerox_EPEAT_eco_label.pdf
Reducing Energy Use through Xerox Products and Technology
In recent years, deinkability has become an area of increasing concern, particularly among our graphic communications customers. Ensuring that prints produced with our equipment and materials can be responsibly managed at the end of their useful life is an important consideration in our product development process. When appropriate, independent testing is utilized to confirm that these prints pose no unique challenges to the recycling stream. While the deinkability of xerographic prints has long been demonstrated, a key milestone for a new technology came in 2010 when the CiPress printer achieved a "Good Deinkability" rating from INGEDE, the international association of the deinking industry.
Paper Use
Our equipment and software are designed with features that allow customers to make efficient use of paper including reliable two-sided (duplex) printing. The "earth smart" feature, integrated into the Xerox global print driver, brings several resource-saving settings together at the single click of a button. These features, such as duplex, n-up (multiple slides per page), proof print and toner saving modes, make it easier for customers to make responsible print choices. Xerox Enterprise Print Services customers have access to sophisticated print management and reporting tools, such as Xerox Print Agent, which provides additional methods of encouraging and tracking responsible print behavior. Software products such as DocuShare®, SMARTsend®, and FreeFlow® Digital Workflow Collection help Xerox customers reduce paper consumption by facilitating electronic data management, scan to e-mail, print-on-demand and distribute-then-print workflows.
Packaging and Distribution
Our standard operating procedure is to eliminate, reduce, reuse, and recycle packaging. This is evident in our Environmental Health and Safety Requirements for Packaging Standard - EHS-710, and also in our General Packaging Standard - 88P311. We look to eliminate packaging first, then reduce, reuse and use recyclable materials. Benefits of our packaging solution include the capability of reducing financial and environmental costs related to warehousing, storage and disposal in focused marketing campaigns and rapidly changing competitive markets. Our equipment is designed to be very robust which enables the need for minimal packaging and our lab testing facility and test standards are benchmark, allowing our designs to be efficient. Customized folding cartons can now be created quickly and cost-effectively, while allowing efficiencies and reducing obsolescence for short-runs of branded and customized boxes and containers.
A few examples that illustrate our commitment to sustainability in this area:
Xerox's long-term commitment is to eliminate the use of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic materials throughout the supply chain by applying strict internal standards and tightly managing chemicals in our supply chain. We were the first in our industry to evaluate the health effects of toners, and have done so for over 30 years. We have re-engineered or eliminated processes to dramatically reduce the use of toxics and heavy metals and have made substantial progress in eliminating the use of mercury. Mercury-containing lamps that scan images and backlight user displays are being phased out as alternatives become available.
Our requirements for minimizing toxic materials govern our product design and materials selection. Our toxicologists conduct a comprehensive assessment of new materials in our products to ensure conformance with applicable global registration, hazard communication, and waste handling and disposal. The requirements prohibit the use of materials that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or cause adverse developmental or reproductive effects; pose a toxicity hazard to humans or aquatic species; can cause a permanent adverse impact to the skin, eyes or respiratory system or have the potential to generate hazardous waste.
We require suppliers to better control the use of chemicals in our products. These requirements are periodically updated as regulations change and new information becomes available. All new product designs refer to these requirements, and suppliers are expected to verify their compliance with them. Learn more www.xerox.com/environment.
Our safety and supplier processes enable us to meet global regulations governing chemical use. Since 2007, Xerox's newly launched products have been designed to meet the European RoHS requirements in all markets. However, where regulations allow, some products may contain parts with small amounts of RoHS substances in order to avoid premature disposal of existing parts that continue to have usable life. Similar types of legislation continue to be implemented in many other market regions. Through our proactive regulatory tracking process, we expect to be fully compliant with all aspects of these regulations as the provisions become effective and applicable.
Third Party Supplies Sold by Xerox
In some cases, Xerox sells some supplies through its distribution network that are manufactured by other companies. These supplies are reviewed to ensure compliance with all appropriate regulatory requirements. In addition, an assessment against stringent Xerox standards is also conducted. The results of these reviews ultimately restricts which products carry the Xerox brand. Information is provided on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
End-of-Life Management
Our aim is to design products, packaging and supplies that make efficient use of resources, minimize waste, reuse material where feasible and recycle what can't be reused. To meet this commitment, we have put in place several programs: Xerox's Green World Alliance initiative provides a collection and reuse/recycling program for spent imaging supplies; Xerox's Product Takeback and Recycling program manages equipment at end-of-life; and we invest in technologies that reduce the creation of waste. Our solid ink imaging process utilizes compact "cartridge-free" solid ink sticks with no plastic housings or casings, thereby reducing print-related waste by up to 90% compared with comparable color laser products. For laser-based products, materials innovation has extended the life of critical replaceable components by up to 50%.
Our approach to managing products at end-of-life translates into significant environmental and financial benefits. Globally, our combined returns programs (equipment remanufacture in conjunction with parts and consumables reuse and recycling) prevented over 42,000 metric tons of waste from entering landfills in 2012 alone.
Consumables Takeback and Recycling
Xerox's Green World Alliance (GWA) initiative provides a collection and reuse/recycling program for spent imaging supplies and is central to our commitment to waste-free products. Xerox currently has more than 35 countries participating in the Xerox Green World Alliance. Each has its own GWA country website that describes the processes available to the customer or the appropriate points of contact for more information. Worldwide, our customers returned more than 4.3 million cartridges, toner containers and other used supply items in 2012. Although our consumables returns programs have been in existence for two decades, we continue to enhance our program. Major improvements in the U.S. program in 2010 were followed by similar changes in Canada in 2011, including the N.A. EcoBox program, enabling customers to order a set of recycling boxes and return multiple used imaging supplies, such as toner bottles and cartridges, in one box. Further information on Xerox's consumables returns program is available at the Xerox Green World Alliance website: www.xerox.com/gwa.
Returned products are sorted, and items suitable for remanufacturing are cleaned, inspected and then remanufactured. Remanufactured cartridges, containing an average of 90% reused/recycled parts, are built and tested to the same performance specifications as new products. Items that are not suitable for remanufacturing are recycled or recovered through energy from waste. Recycled waste toner and toner reclaimed from manufacturing that qualifies for reuse may account for 25% of the weight of new toner, without compromising toner functionality. Reusing waste/reclaimed toner saves several million dollars in raw material costs each year.
Equipment and Parts Takeback and Recycling
In the early 1990s, we pioneered the practice of converting end-of-life electronic equipment into products and parts that contain reused parts while meeting new-product specifications for quality and performance. We have developed a comprehensive process for taking back end-of-life products, and have established a remanufacture, parts reuse and recycling program that fully supports our waste-free initiatives.
In the design phase, machines are designed with the minimum number of required parts and with high durability and reuse capability, in order to encourage multiple product life cycles. During the active phase of a product, all returned equipment is evaluated for reuse opportunities throughout the Supply Chain. Finally, during the end-of-life/end-of-service phase of the product life cycle – since the parts are coded with disposal instructions – they are easy to recycle in the most effective manner.
Xerox enables reuse according to the following hierarchy:
Changes in volumes of waste diverted from landfills is due in part to changes in product mix, design of lighter-weight machines and growth of regulatory-driven local recycling schemes. For example, the transition to digital equipment and lighter-weight parts has reduced the weight of both office and production equipment by as much as 50% over the last 10 years. The decline also represents a decrease in the number of office machines returned for remanufacturing in Europe due to participation in EU member state Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) programs. In geographies where Xerox exercises direct control over the end-of-life management of equipment, return rates are high. For example, approximately 79% of all U.S. equipment installs are ultimately returned to Xerox for end-of-life disposition, a figure that rises to 100% for leased equipment.
While Xerox has long been committed to responsible end-of-life management of equipment, the proliferation of e-waste regulations has created a need for multiple programs in different countries and even states. The subtle differences in requirements among these regulations pose challenges from a process consistency and efficiency standpoint. For example, with the implementation of the European Union's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, we continue to operate our European take-back program to enable equipment remanufacturing and parts reuse. We also participate, as needed, in European member states' individual collection and recycling programs.
In the U.S., Xerox recently partnered with a large electronics recycler to ensure that our customers have a means to have their old imaging devices processed in a responsible manner. The program is consistent with the requirements defined in the various manufacturer take-back initiatives.
We carefully manage suppliers that provide recycling and waste disposal services. A waste vendor approval process assesses the safety and environmental practices as well as compliance history of each vendor. Where appropriate, we require these companies to document the final disposition of materials sent to their facilities, including electronic scrap. Xerox does not allow its vendors to send electronic scrap to developing nations for processing. We strive to work with only those recyclers that have implemented voluntary programs that are certified by accredited organizations. The programs are U.S. EPA's Responsible Recyclers (R2) or the European Basal Action Network's e-Stewards standards.
We recognize our obligation to responsibly source paper and enable efficient paper use. Our strategy begins upstream with the fiber source, and continues on to processing and manufacturing, through use to end-of-life. We utilize a multi-pronged approach, through partnerships with our customers and suppliers, The Nature Conservancy and other stakeholders, including non-government organizations (NGOs), government agencies and academia. Our long-term goal is to support a sustainable paper cycle and minimize environmental impacts while meeting our customers' exacting business needs.
In 2013, Domtar signed an agreement with Xerox for the acquisition of Xerox's North American paper and media products business. This deal gives Domtar exclusive rights for the marketing and distribution of Xerox branded paper and print media products in the United States and Canada. Read more about Domtar and sustainability. Xerox's paper business in Europe was sold to Antalis. Read more about Antalis's sustainability charter.
Our Partnership with The Nature Conservancy
Through Xerox Foundation grants of $6 million since 2006, Xerox and The Nature Conservancy have partnered to conserve and protect globally important forests through a variety of means – some maturing tools, like forest certification and High Conservation Value (HCV) assessments, and other new tools and mechanisms for conservation, like the alignment of forest carbon and certification. Our partnership builds on Xerox's commitment to sustainability throughout its operations and corporate leadership on the world stage.
Xerox and The Nature Conservancy formed the Forest Conservation Partnership in 2006 to bring tactical resources and assistance to the paper industry as it strives to improve forest management practices, as well as to help the Conservancy meet its conservation objectives. During 2010 – 2012, to further advance forest management, Xerox supported the Conservancy's efforts to:
Paper Sourcing Guidelines
We implemented stringent requirements in 2003 for companies that provide paper to Xerox for resale. The requirements cover all aspects of papermaking, from forest management to production of finished goods. On an annual basis, our suppliers are required to certify their compliance and provide supporting documentation. Suppliers are also required to report on the environmental impacts of their operations and associated goals.
Sustainable Forest Management-Certified Papers
We have introduced papers that comply with sustainable forest management standards, including Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). FSC-certified papers use raw materials from an FSC-certified source, controlled wood sources or post-consumer reclaimed sources. As a requirement for displaying the FSC label on our papers, we earned FSC Chain-of-Custody certification from the Rainforest Alliance's SmartWood program. Xerox has also earned PEFC Chain-of-Custody certification.
Recycled Papers
Recycled content is another way we reduce the environmental impact of our papers – offering papers ranging from 20-100% post-consumer recycled content. Our recycled papers use post-consumer waste and/or recycled fiber in place of new pulp. Recycled products are required to meet the same strict performance specifications as virgin products, and are designed for optimal performance in our equipment.
Across industries and around the globe, businesses and governments are recognizing the value proposition of today's Xerox. We have people who are passionate about making our communities better than they are… a corporate culture that is committed to diversity and continuous improvement… and an innovation community that's harnessing the potential of services and technologies for the promise of a better world.

Our customers can consult our Take Back List on our website to identify parts, such as used toner containers, drums and fuser rolls, that can be returned for reuse or remanufacture. Twenty years ago, Xerox started the Green World Alliance, an effort focused on the collection/reuse/recycling programs for spent imaging supplies. We have diverted more than 2.2 billion pounds from landfill through this program worldwide. For more information about Supplies Recycling, visit: www.xerox.com/GWA.

A cross-functional team identified returned products for the recovery and return to our distribution facility for reuse. Through this Lean Six Sigma effort, the program resulted in 1.2 million pounds of equipment being reused rather than recycled and saved $8.6 million in its first year.
The Xerox CiPress™ 500 Production Inkjet System, the world's only high-speed waterless inkjet device, was presented the European Paper Recycling Award 2011 for its "good deinkability" rating and its ability to print vibrant color on recycled and low cost paper.

With private vehicles being a significant source of fuel consumption and emissions, public transportation is a key to reducing the environmental impact of transportation. Xerox helped Brampton Ontario Canada install and launch a SmartBus system in September 2010 when Brampton first introduced its bus rapid transit system, Züm. Ridership reached an all-time high in 2011, increasing 18 percent – more than tripling the national average, according to the Canadian Urban Transit Association. In total, 16.3 million riders used Brampton Transit in 2011, an increase of more than 2.5 million riders from 2010. Xerox systems and services are used by more than 1,000 municipal, regional and national operators to run more than 150,000 pieces of equipment that enables 50 million passengers per day to use buses, trolleys, tramways and trains. We are the largest provider of transportation services to governments worldwide, with projects in more than 30 countries.

Our proprietary Voice of the Employee Survey allows managers to create a personal pulse survey to assess their employees' satisfaction on their job, workgroup, manager, and on Xerox as a whole.
Since 2009, we have surveyed 100% of our global population of 48 countries and in 25 languages. Each manager receives a personalized report to assist in developing action plans where needed. In addition, we capture global trend data and employee ideas.
The Voice of the Employee survey will be globally implemented again in 2013, and every two years thereafter.
See more detailed information on employee satisfaction surveys.
*North American data only.
**Global data based on 72,000 survey results. The North American percentage agreement is 82%.
***Data based on over 14,000 survey results from three geographies in the Xerox Technology line of business: Xerox Europe, Xerox Canada and Developing Markets.
The Sentinel Customer Satisfaction Assurance System™, a Xerox proprietary Web-based polling/routing/reporting system, links employee inquiries or comments through the intranet with appropriate Xerox contacts to identify and track any comment, suggestion or unresolved problem for action.
The decline in inquiries from 2011 to 2012 is due to the overall resolution of systemic issues in the system and the ability for employees to provide comments/suggestions or raise a technical issue, which are routed to another system for resolution.
|4,106 inquiries received and routed for resolution

We are proud to announce that through the teamwork of Xerox people worldwide we have achieved and surpassed our goals for the Xerox "Energy Challenge 2012" program. In 2003, we established a program and made a public commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by joining the U.S. EPA Climate Leaders program and launching an internal program known as "Energy Challenge 2012." We adopted a goal of reducing by 10% our absolute GHG emissions across all company operations, by 2012, from a 2002 baseline.
We met this target six years ahead of schedule and in 2007 we set a new and challenging goal to reduce our GHG emissions by 25% by 2012, from the 2002 baseline.
At the conclusion of the corporate Energy Challenge 2012 program, we successfully reduced emissions by 42%, or 210,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) while saving energy – consumption was down 33% compared with 2002.

Florence, Italy
Event Details
Going to the Public for Conservation
Learning about land and water funding around the Bay Area
A significant source of funding for land conservation in the Bay Area is voter approved measures. Look closely at any county and its open spaces and you'll discover a funding measure that played a major role in the protection of the land. The region faces decreased funding for conservation overall and plans for more bonds and funding measures are in the works around the Bay Area. At our Almost Spring Gathering we will hear presentations about:
- Overall lessons learned for the Bay Area from Measure A in Marin
- Using poll data and social media with Measure B in Santa Clara
- Raising regional resources for the Restoration Authority
Rosemary Cameron, who has worked on several funding measures, will moderate the panel. Between each presentation there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the panelists and discuss each measure.
The Almost Spring Gathering will take place on March 21 from 10am-1pm at the David Brower Center in downtown Berkeley. The program will run from 10am-12pm and a free and organic lunch will be served from 12pm-1pm.
If you are unable to attend, please let us know ASAP. There is a waitlist for this event.
On the day of the event,
- Watch the event on our blog. We will be live-blogging so refresh every 10 minutes or so for pictures, presentations, quotable quotes and more. See how we've done it in the past.
- Follow the event on Twitter with #OSC321. We will be tweeting throughout and welcome questions from you.

Theater review by Helen Shaw. Pearl Theatre Company (see Off Broadway). By J.M. Barrie. Dir. J.R. Sullivan. With ensemble cast. 1hr 35mins. One intermission.
You can't mention author J.M. Barrie without invoking his most famous creation, Peter Pan. The Pearl happily does so by titling its charming Barrie one-acts This Side of Neverland—though there's nary a lost boy in sight. In fact, the paragon of eternal childhood doesn't get a green-stockinged toe in the door. Instead of valorizing the perpetually adolescent male, Barrie's still-fresh 1914 twosome, The Twelve Pound Look and Rosalind, makes heroes of self-willed, single, middle-aged women. Hoo-goddamned-ray: That's better than pirates any day.
Since both comedies rely on surprise, I mustn't say why in Rosalind middle-aged Mrs. Page (Rachel Botchan) so flusters her visitor, a young man in love with her daughter, nor why in The Twelve Pound Look pompous Harry Sims (Bradford Cover) is so flabbergasted at his decidedly pert typist (Botchan again). Suffice it to say, the brisk, intelligent Botchan has found her match, both in material and in the hilarious Cover, who keeps inflating just as she seems at her sharpest. Director J. R. Sullivan revels in the project's coziness—Sean McNall twinkles while reciting Barrie's novelistic stage directions, Carol Schultz plays piano between pieces. But while this is a classic Pearl, it also retains its saltwater sting. Barrie's eye was keen, noticing how women can vanish from stage or in marriages. He renders certain invisible adults visible again, which is, ultimately, a better trick than making children fly.—Helen Shaw

The goal of the department is to contribute firsthand knowledge of Greek and Latin literature, for it is in this body of writings that the student may discern most of the concepts upon which our Western World bases its culture.
The general courses in the classics offer broad background for both major and non-major students.
The more advanced and specialized courses emphasize the contributions made by outstanding political, literary and intellectual figures of Greek and Roman times.
The student who chooses to major in classics should have acquired, at the completion of all courses, a knowledge of classical mythology, history, literature and art, in addition to a general liberal arts education.
The advanced courses are also available as electives to students concentrating in other areas, and are intended to provide such students with a balanced education.
In addition to the campus classroom, classical languages majors may explore overseas studies sponsored by SBU (particularly the semester in Italy program), or other programs.
A major in classical languages is the quintessential preparation for life. Our graduates have entered successfully a range of professions from law to finance.
Your training in classical languages endows you with an understanding of history and a proficiency in language that will enhance your communication skills.
Opportunities for graduate education and professional careers are numerous.
Department members are ready to assist you, and you may consult the SBU Career Center.
