i'm glad to hear it, but surfers who do that are in the minority.
but i fail to see how "...buying...clothing from a local reseller is not helping anyone." is it not putting $$ into the pockets of the people who work at the shop & who run the shop? yes, a chunk of it goes to china, but another good chunk stays local & stimulates the local economy. again, w/out people buying boardshorts, t-shirts, fins, etc...at local shops, local shops won't exist.
& many local companies DO sell their wares in local shops. BUT...where do you think they get their cotton t-shirts? or their hoodies? the same place the big guys do.

Dude, you should totally get on those "Fashionable and Liberal Men Surf Board Shorts."
Mar 4, 2013, 05:36 PM #13
That's not your only option. There are other alternative domestic companies producing quality products out there...if your issue is the price point--cut a pair of your old jeans into a pair of shorts and surf in those; get some hand-me-downs...use that pair of "umbros" that you have in your closet--cost way less then purchasing a pair of $12 shorts if you get my point.

Need a leash...a board bag...want to support a domestic/local product click on the link: http://www.midnightproducts.net/index.html

I support my local surfshops every chance I get. I buy my wetsuits over the counter, my board accessories over the counter... and about once every 3 years or so, a pair of boardshorts. (Yea... they're pretty tattered, faded, and wax impregnated by the time I buy a new pair.) The only thing I don't buy in a local surf shop are fins, because they never carry the kind I prefer. But if they did, I'd buy them there, too. I don't wear "surfwear" clothing unless it's a local brand, or somebody gave it to me. Most of that stuff is crap anyway. Yea... it might cost a few bucks more, but by supporting my local shops, I hope they're there when I need them... like that emergency pair of new 5mm gloves I bought for that last swell. If they were out of business, I'd be sitting on the beach waiting for my package from China.
You can inquire as to whom the local surfshops order from in your city and go through the wholesaler. I do that in my city and what do you know? The wholesaler is a local business. I often get fins, leashes, bags, traction etc. for up to 40% off and I'm still supporting good ol' Murican small businesses. The mark up on the **** we buy is crazy. Not faulting either position, just saying sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too!
the company I am talking about manufactures alot of their wares under their own label, and it's high quality stuff. I scored some nice fins for half of what my local boardshop was asking. http://surfsource.net/

iv been readin some interesting things on here.and i agree with both sides on helping out local shops,and screwin the middleman.i didt check out the site,but based on hearsay,i agree with both arguements.local boards,little things from local shop is cool.however payin 20 for something worth 100 is a fair gain but probly fake.its like knock off louis v bags on canal street.there are a few big surfshops in jersey i stay away from like the billabong store,ron jons.those are big corporations who profit on slave labor.but helping out a mom n pop shop is the better way.i dont wear the fancy surf gear,too much for me,but i do buy used boards locally,and the occasional dvd,wax,leashes.

ps farias surfshop,and the wavehog shop are great people.thats where i get all my goodies
Mar 4, 2013, 10:03 PM #20
I think you missed my point...at a national scale it's the same issue. however, to respond...both of these companies are in local shops in south Jersey. The additional advantage when purchasing their product is that rather then an international product being sold (with a questionable QC, labor force, etc.) you get the best of both worlds...supporting local and domestic.

GFS Fleischman fonts
From FedoraProject
GFS Fleischman majuscule Greek font
As it is known, the Greek alphabet was used in majuscule form for over a millennium before the minuscule letters gradually replaced it until they became the official script in the 9th century A.D. Thereafter, majuscule letters were confined to sparse use as initials or elaborate titles until the Italian Renaissance.
The new art of Typography, as well as the need of the humanists to mimic the ancient Greco-Roman period brought back the extensive use of the majuscule letter-forms in both Latin and Greek typography. Greek books of the time were printed using the contemporary Byzantine hand with which they combined capital letters modelled on the Roman antiquity, i.e. with thick and thin strokes and serifs. At the same time the Byzantine majuscule tradition, principally used on theological editions, remainned alive until the early 19th century.
GFS Fleischman was cut by Johann Michael Fleishman, typecutter of the Dutch Enschedé foundry and follows the baroque style of the mid-18th century æsthetics.
It has been designed by George D. Matthiopoulos.

And thus, our true colours reveal. Since Obama was the young newcomer, technically savvy, many of us were hoping that he might support patent and/or copyright reform. In case our story earlier on this subject didn't already tip you off, this certainly will: Obama has sided squarely with the RIAA/MPAA lobby, and backs ACTA. No copyright and/or patent reform for you, American citizens!

Bookmarked, is an opportunity for ATLA and our readers to revisit some of the triumphs, follies and ideas from decor publications and books from the past. If you've got a great decor photo/image or design idea from an out-of-print source, please send it to la(at)apartmenttherapy(dot)com, including the title and publication information.
Paloma Picasso's Parisian art deco apartment could be an Elle Decor spread, further illustrating that all things old are new again. The light in the apartment, the light pink and blue palette, high ceilings and attention to architectural details. So unabashedly girly, I am lusting after it.
And then there are things like this:
This is the 80's I remember more clearly. A little tackier, a little harder to see as contemporary. But there's no denying that each of these interiors has aspects that are coming back. Obviously today they all have a new twist (like maybe not going so dark with the red satin). But how much does an Atari go for now? How often are we seeing neon in new clothing trends, already being followed by home decor? Take notes everyone, this is the future.

The Leeds Festival, a dual festival that goes with the Reading Festival. The 2013 Leeds lineup has been released and Leeds tickets are no longer on sale.
Reading and Leeds were once known as "Carling Weekend" until the festival sponsor Carling dropped support for the two shows. As for 2013, it looks like there will be new stages added:
"Within those additional two or three stages there will be a lot more diversity of music. We're changing the arena at Reading and Leeds quite significantly. I've got quite a strong buzz and feeling in myself in the changes that I'm making there. I'm still formulating the ideas," said organiser Melvin Benn when speaking to the BBC.

The Residents
It was commonly accepted that the four-member group emigrated to San Francisco, CA, from Shreveport, LA, at some point in the early '70s. According to longtime group spokesman Jay Clem -- one member of the so-called Cryptic Corporation, the band's representative body -- they received their name when Warner Bros. mailed back their anonymous demo tape, addressed simply "for the attention of residents." Finding no takers for their oddball sounds, the Residents founded their own label, Ralph Records, for the purposes of issuing their 1972 debut "Santa Dog," released in a pressing of 300 copies which were mailed out to luminaries from Frank Zappa to President Richard Nixon. Their debut full-length, 1974's Meet the Residents, reportedly sold fewer than 50 copies before the group was threatened with a lawsuit from Capitol Records over its cover, a twisted Dadaesque parody of the art to Meet the Beatles.
The follow-up, 1974's neo-classical excursion Not Available, was recorded with the intention of its music remaining unissued; locked in cold storage upon its completion, only a 1978 contractual obligation resulted in its eventual release. Released in 1976, Third Reich 'n' Roll was the next official offering, a collection of pop oldies covers presented in a controversial jacket portraying Adolf Hitler clutching an enormous carrot. After a 1976 concert in Berkeley, CA which cloaked the Residents behind an opaque screen, wrapped up like mummies -- the most famous of only three live performances mounted during their first decade of existence -- they issued an abrasive 1977 cover of the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction," which became an underground hit on both sides of the Atlantic at the peak of the punk movement. As the decade drew to a close, the group released a flurry of recordings, further building upon their growing cult following -- among them were 1977's Duck Stab/Buster & Glen; 1979's Eskimo (purportedly a collection of native Arctic chants); and 1980's Commercial Album, a compilation of 40 one-minute "pop songs" that aired on San Francisco radio only because the Residents played them during the advertising time they bought.
In 1981 the Residents embarked upon their Mole Trilogy, a prog rock collection of albums -- 1981's The Mark of the Mole, 1982's The Tunes of Two Cities, and 1985's The Big Bubble -- recounting an epic battle between a pair of tribes named the Moles and the Chubs; a lavish, multimedia tour, The Mole Show, followed. In the interim, the group also mounted another ambitious project, the American Composer series, although only two of the projected titles -- 1984's George and James (a reinterpretation of songs by George Gershwin and James Brown) and 1986's Stars and Hank Forever (celebrating John Philip Sousa and Hank Williams) -- ever appeared. Instead, in the wake of financial and corporate difficulties which resulted in the creation of a New Ralph label, the Residents issued the one-off God in Three Persons (a talking blues outing), and 1989's The King and Eye (a reinterpretation of Elvis Presley standards).
After losing control of the Ralph label as well as their back catalog, the Residents regained the rights to their music in 1990 and began reissuing long out of print material as well as the new Freak Show, a meditation on circus sideshows and carnival dementia. Four years later, Freak Show was reissued as a CD-ROM, marking the group's first leap into the new digital interactive technology; Have a Bad Day followed in 1996, and included the soundtrack to the CD-ROM game Bad Day on the Midway.
In 1997, the band celebrated their silver anniversary with the release of the career-spanning overview Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Huddled Masses. Wormwood: Curious Stories from the Bible followed the next year, with Roadworms (songs from Wormwood as performed in the stage show) being issued in mid-2000. They followed that up with the Icky Flix DVD, an incredibly detailed collection of their videos that featured both old and new soundtracks, 5.1 digital stereo Surround Sound, countless hidden videos, and in-depth histories of each individual track. A subsequent tour incorporated the DVD, while guest singer Molly Harvey joined the band on-stage for some truly creative duets. Several high concept projects followed the 2002 compilation Petting Zoo. The first was Demons Dance Alone, a complicated pop album that recalled the catchier material from Duck Stab and The Commercial Album. The live retrospective Kettles of Fish on the Outskirts of Town contained three CDs and a DVD. Despite the release of so much old content, new material wasn't in short supply. Their releases throughout the latter end of the 2000s' first decade included Animal Lover (2005), Tweedles! (2006), The River of Crime (2006), The Voice of Midnight (2007), The Bunny Boy (2008), The Ughs! (2009), Ten Little Piggies (a sneak peak at projects in the pipeline, released in 2009), and Coochie Brake in 2011. Much of it, of course, was highly conceptual. ~ Jason Ankeny

For October 2013 my sure fire wine recommendation is the nearly perfect Block Nine 2012 Pinot Noir from the small production winery, Caiden's Vineyard. Many vineyards make several varieties of wine, perhaps dispersing their focus, not Caiden's. Pinot Noir is all they make, therefore allowing them to ensure "getting it right." The aromas are fruity with a mix of strawberry, violets, dark cherry and a hint of toasted French oak to complete its classy finish.
Cost? I paid $18.00 at the Barryville Bottle in Barryville, New York. I paired it with our Autumn pig roast which included my wild rice, bacon & edamame salad, roasted Brussels sprouts and cheesy balls. This wine is light yet has a distinct personality. Bravo!

Trimble appeal over Drumcree parade
Northern Ireland First Minister David Trimble has called for calm over the weekend of the Drumcree parade in County Armagh.
Mr Trimble was speaking on Saturday as a major security operation was due to get under way ahead of Sunday's controversial Orange Order march. The Parades Commission upheld its Drumcree decision on Friday, banning the Orange Order from walking on the Garvaghy Road in Portadown. The Orange Order had sought a review of the determination on the Drumcree parade, which was announced earlier this week.
It is the fifth successive year the parade has been barred from taking this route. The decision came as the police officer in charge of security at Drumcree said he believed there was less likelihood of trouble at the march this year. The Order wants to use the route on its return journey from a Somme Commemoration service at Drumcree Parish Church, but the march is opposed by nationalist residents. Assistant Chief Constable Stephen White said he believed this year's parade would be "peaceful and dignified".

ACC White said there would still be large scale police and Army deployment in Portadown on Sunday and that those resources could be better used.
"No one is ever happy that police resources that could be involved in dealing with crime and disorder and all the things that blight our society are tied up in large numbers in one particular place," he said.
"But I'm certainly content - with the information and the goodwill that exists - that there will be less likelihood of violence here than there has been in the past."
Mass protests have been staged at Drumcree when the Orange parade has been re-routed away from the Garvaghy Road, although in recent years the numbers have gone down. Elsewhere in Northern Ireland, property has been attacked and destroyed by rioters. At the height of that violence, illegal roadblocks were thrown up in a co-ordinated campaign by loyalist supporters of the Drumcree Orangemen, bringing parts of Northern Ireland to a standstill. When the Orange parade has been forced down the Garvaghy Road amid a massive security operation, against the wishes of the people who live there, serious disturbances have ensued in republican and nationalist areas. This Sunday, the Portadown Lodges will continue the tradition of leaving Drumcree church, marching a few hundred yards down the hill before being brought to a halt by the police and Army barrier blocking their route. The Northern Ireland Parades Commission was set up in 1997 to make decisions on whether controversial parades should be restricted.

Pickled Watermelon Rind with Ginger and Jalapeños
Pickling watermelon rind has long been a Southern tradition. In this version, low-acid rice vinegar becomes infused with jalapeño and ginger for a brightly flavored brine with a kick. The watermelon rind is sliced very thin for these pickles, making them perfect for piling on a sandwich.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 1 quart
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 1/4 pounds watermelon—red flesh and green skin removed, white rind cut into 1-by-1/2-inch rectangles about 1/8 inch thick
- One 3-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 1 large jalapeño, halved lengthwise
How to make this recipe
In a small saucepan, combine the water with the vinegar, sugar and salt and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
Layer the watermelon rind, ginger and jalapeño in a 1-quart heatproof glass jar and cover with the pickling liquid. Let stand at room temperature for 3 hours. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Drain the pickles before serving.
Make Ahead
The pickles can be refrigerated in their brine for up to 2 weeks.

DENVER (AP) -- Though several key players are dealing with injuries, one very important member of the Denver Broncos will return to the field Sunday.
Four weeks after open-heart surgery, coach John Fox will be back on the sideline when the Broncos host the Tennessee Titans with a chance to clinch a playoff spot.
Interim coach Jack Del Rio, who led the team to a 3-1 record in Fox's absence, will return to his duties as defensive coordinator.
The Broncos (10-2) welcome their coach back after a critical victory last week, 35-28 over Kansas City that gave them a one-game lead over the second-place Chiefs in the AFC West. Peyton Manning threw for 405 yards and five touchdowns - four to Eric Decker - as Denver grabbed the tiebreaker over Kansas City and took control of the race for the top seed in the conference.
The Broncos, which won without four defensive starters, can secure a postseason berth with a win or tie Sunday. They'll also get in if Miami or Baltimore loses or ties.
Manning's 41 touchdowns are 12 more than anyone else's total. He's thrown at least seven to five teammates.
"I think he showed people why he's so great," said Decker, the AFC offensive player of the week. "How we run our offense, we're very versatile as far as going inside, outside, left, right, whatever it may be."
Tennessee could provide a test as it has the seventh-best pass defense in the NFL at 212.6 yards allowed per game. The Titans have recorded 31 sacks, and they'll face a Denver team that's allowed 15 to tie Detroit for the fewest in the league.
The bigger issue for Manning, however, may not be the Titans defense. Much has been made of his struggles in cold weather, and Sunday's forecast calls for high temperatures in the teens and a chance of snow.
Manning has a 7-6 regular-season record when the gametime temperature is below 40 degrees, the most recent such contest being a 34-31 loss to New England on Nov. 24 in which he threw for a season-low 150 yards and went 19 of 36.
"We'll definitely be outside and probably the worse the weather, the better for us," Titans coach Mike Munchak said. "Hopefully there's a big snowstorm to give us a great chance to win."
The Titans (5-7) need a victory to stay in the thick of the wild-card hunt. A 22-14 loss to Indianapolis last week likely ended their chances of winning the AFC South, as they're three games behind the Colts with four to play. Tennessee, though, is one game out of the sixth and final seed in the AFC.
"If everyone wins out, then we're out. I guess that's how it works," Munchak said. "All we can do, again, is the obvious. You got to win all four games and hope they lose one, a couple teams that are ahead of you. We got a couple tough ones ahead. We've made it harder without a doubt, so we have to win a game this weekend which most people don't think we have a chance to win."
Mistakes killed the Titans' chances of winning last week.

Dear Savvy Senior,
My wife, who's 60, is on my health insurance plan through my employer. When I retire in a few months at 65, and go on Medicare, what happens to her? Do we have to purchase private insurance, or is there some kind of Medicare coverage for dependent spouses?

LSU - Arkansas Game Day Preview
by Steve Geller
posted Nov 23 2012 12:48AM
In their regular-season finale, LSU travels to Fayetteville to take on SEC rival Arkansas in the Battle for the Golden Boot.
Coach Les Miles and his Tiger squad may not be in line to compete for the SEC championship but the campaign has still largely been a success for last season's national championship runner-up. The Bayou Bengals have won back-to-back games and are currently 9-2 overall and 5-2 in conference play. This matchup is only the fourth road game of the season for LSU which can earn its third consecutive 10 win season with a victory.
As for Arkansas, the Razorbacks' much anticipated season was derailed when Head Coach Bobby Petrino was let go amid controversy before the year began. Under interim coach John Smith, the Hogs, who were ranked as high as No. 8 in the polls early in the season, have stumbled to a 4-7 overall record, including a 2-5 mark against SEC foes. With a 45-14 loss to Mississippi State last weekend the Razorbacks were eliminated from postseason eligibility for the first time in three years.
This is the first series matchup in Fayetteville since 1992. LSU owns a 35-20-2 record overall against Arkansas.
On offense the Tigers are an old school team that likes to run the ball and utilize a short passing game. On the season, LSU is the fifth most prolific rushing team in the SEC, with 188 yards per game. However, the Tigers rank just 11th in passing, with 206 yards per contest. With that type of production LSU is near the middle of the pack in the SEC in terms of total offense.
There are a stable of running backs for Miles to utilize in the offense. The lead rusher is Jeremy Hill who has racked up 554 yards and nine touchdowns this season.
With the team pounding the ball on the ground, quarterback Zach Mettenberger has not had to put up a ton of numbers. On the season, he has completed 59% of his passes for 2,272 yards and 10 touchdowns to just 6 interceptions. He doesn't throw downfield very often, as he averages just 7.6 yards per pass attempt, the ninth lowest average in the conference. Mettenberger has not always had enough time in the pocket either as he has been sacked 23 times this season.
In terms of pass-catching threats for the Tigers, Odell Beckham has been the top receiver in total yards, while Jarvis Landry has been the more reliable receiver, especially on the underneath routes.
It's no secret that the strength of the Bayou Bengals resides on defense. While the offense manages games, the defense dominates them. On the season, LSU is the third ranked defensive unit in the SEC, a conference jam-packed with punishing defensive squads. The Tigers are surrendering just 281 yards of total offense per game, while constantly making plays on the ball with a league-leading 17 interceptions.
On the front line, Sam Montgomery and Anthony Johnson have proved to be difficult linemen for opposing offenses to stop. Linebacker Kevin Minter flies around all over the field and always seems to be able to make stops. In the secondary, Craig Loston and Tharold Simon have each collected three interceptions apiece.
The falloff on the offensive side of the ball has been a long one for Arkansas. The Razorbacks were the top-ranked offense in the SEC last season in terms of total yards and scoring, but this season the Hogs are just sixth in total yards with 416 yard per game and 12th in scoring averaging 24.5 points per contest.
Also falling this season is the draft stock of quarterback Tyler Wilson. Largely considered to be one of the top signal-callers, not only in the SEC but the country, he's had a solid season, but not the type of year that has sparked a great deal of positive talk. Wilson has thrown for 3,028 yards and 20 touchdowns, while completing 62.5% of his pass attempts to go along with 12 interceptions.
Wilson really hasn't spread the ball around particularly well to his receivers. That has really benefited SEC leading receiver Coby Hamilton, who has turned in a spectacular season with 80 receptions for 1,237 yards and five scores. No other player on the team has more than 22 receptions or 300 yards.
The running game also deserves some of the blame for the Razorbacks' fall from the offensive elite of the conference. Arkansas is gaining only 120 yards per game on the ground, the lowest mark among SEC teams. Dennis Johnson has been the most productive back with 727 yards and 8 TDs.
Such meager offensive numbers have been compounded by one of the conference's worst defenses. Other than Tennessee, there is no team in the SEC worse than Arkansas in both total yards allowed and scoring defense. The Razorbacks have not been nearly has opportunistic as LSU, having just 12 forced turnovers this season and a league-worst -17 turnover differential.
The defense could be even weaker this weekend with second leading tackler Rohan Gaines dealing with an injury. Safety Ross Rasner is the lead stopper while defensive ends Trey Flowers and Chris Smith are more than capable of getting to the quarterback.
This game would have been a classic matchup of strong defense versus prolific offense when looked at on the schedule in August. LSU has lived up to its end of that bargain, and will be able to man-handle the Razorbacks to keep the 10- win train rolling.

Three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington has added next week's Austrian GolfOpen presented by Lyoness to his playing schedule as he bids to improve his position in The Race to Dubai.
Harrington is currently 87th in The Race to Dubai rankings and knows he needs to mount a serious charge, starting at the Diamond Country Club on the outskirts of Vienna at the Austrian GolfOpen presented by Lyoness, to get back amongst the top 60 and guarantee a place in the season-ending Dubai World Championship.
The Irishman, winner of the Open Championship in 2007 and 2008 as well as the 2008 US PGA Championship, has displayed encouraging signs of consistency on his most recent performances in America, finishing 13th in The Barclays to keep himself in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs for an extra week.
"I'm looking forward to playing in Austria next week," said Harrington. "I have had some reasonable results and have been playing well in America recently so I am looking to continue that trend and get a good result in Austria.
"I know that I need to improve my position in The Race to Dubai, but all it takes is a win or one strong finish and I will get into that top 60.
"I am also keen to make a start on my 2012 Ryder Cup qualification campaign. You never know, it might happen in Austria next week – that is certainly my intention."
Harrington's appearance at the Diamond Country Club will be the first time that he has played in a European Tour event in Austria, and he is relishing the opportunity of making his debut in front of the Austrian golfing public.
He said: "It's quite surprising that I have never played a tour event in Austria, but it is always interesting to visit a new country, a new golf course and to see another culture.
"I'm told the Austrian golf fans really get behind their national open, so it will be great to sample the atmosphere they create."

How to Pull Off a $67 Million Airport Diamond Heist in Three Minutes - Global - The Atlantic Wire
Eight masked and armed thieves pulled off a daring robbery at Brussels Airport in Belgium on Tuesday, stealing as much as $67 million worth of diamonds in a matter of minutes without firing a shot. Police say the robbers busted a hole in a security fence at the airport then sped across the tarmac in two vehicles to a waiting passenger plane that had already been loaded with the precious cargo. It took just three minutes for them get into the cargo hold and clean out the goods, then speed back the same way they came in. (Police later found a burned out van not far from the airport.) Despite being heavily armed and temporarily taking over a plane full of waiting passengers, the robbers didn't fire a single gunshot and no one was harmed.

Learn about the types of exams offered in Summer School courses, and review policies regarding exam absences, conflicts, and make-ups, and exams in online courses. If you have questions about exams, contact Academic Services, (617) 495-0977.
Types of exams
Quizzes, hour, and midterm exams
On-campus and distance students are expected to take their exams on time and as scheduled by their instructors. Students who are unable to take a quiz, hour exam, or midterm due to extenuating circumstances should contact their instructor immediately. Instructors have varying policies regarding make-up quizzes, hour, and midterm exams.
Take-home exams
Students who miss the deadline for a take-home exam should call their instructor immediately. The instructor may require the student to appeal for a proctored make-up exam, approve an extension-of-time (EXT) grade and write a new take-home exam, or assign the student a failing grade for the exam depending on the instructor's policy for take-home exams.
Final exams
Final exams are generally three hours long and are administered according to the exam schedule set by the registrar. Only students registered for undergraduate or graduate credit are allowed to take final exams.
Your instructor confirms the location of your exam since it may be held in a different room from the class meetings. Instructors who teach online courses may choose to give the class an online final exam or a proctored final exam.
If you are unable to take your exam at the scheduled time, you may not make separate arrangements with your instructor to take the exam at an earlier or later time. Grades are not accepted for students who do this. If you cannot take your exam at the scheduled time you may be eligible to appeal for a make-up final exam.
If you sit for your final exam and are unable to complete it for any reason you are assigned a failing grade (E), or zero, for the incomplete portion of the exam. You are not allowed to complete the exam at another time or appeal for a make-up exam. If you attend the final exam and do not submit a bluebook or exam sheet, you are assigned an E for the final exam. If you do not take your final exam and did not withdraw from the course by the withdrawal deadline you are assigned a failing grade for the final exam.
Exam absences, conflicts, and make-ups
Exams in absentia
If you relocate before or during the final exam period you may appeal to take your exam in absentia at an institution in your new location with an approved proctor. In addition to following the appeal procedures for make-up exams, you must include on the appeal form the name, title, business address, and business telephone number of the person who will proctor your exam.
Exam proctors must be teachers, professors, librarians, or administrators in local secondary schools, colleges, universities, or testing centers. They cannot be family members, friends, acquaintances, or co-workers.
In addition to other Summer School policies (including FERPA), the following policies and procedures apply to distance education students:
- You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary computer hardware and software, including any course-specific software needed to complete course assignments. Check the course website to determine if any special software is needed. Harvard University does not provide equipment or software. You must have Internet access available throughout the term.
- Online courses are not self-paced. You are expected to watch the video lectures on a regular basis and be an active participant in the course throughout the term.
- You must adhere to deadlines and due dates provided in the course syllabus and may not join online courses after the end of registration.
- Recorded lectures for online courses are available only to registered students; lectures are password protected after the first week of class.
- Many online courses have in-class hour, midterm, and final online exams. You may take exams on campus or arrange to take them with a proctor at a location near your home.
- If you are approved for an extension of time or make-up final exam, you will have access to the recorded lectures until you submit your work to the instructor, take the make-up final exam, or the deadlines pass—whichever occurs first.
Absences for religious reasons
You may request that an exam be rescheduled without penalty if your exam is scheduled on a day of religious observance for you. Speak with your instructor no later than two weeks before the exam date to reschedule the exam.
Students who have a religious obligation that conflicts with a final exam must submit a completed make-up final examination form to Academic Services by the deadline indicated on the form. The make-up final exam appeal fee is waived for students with religious conflicts. However, students must include documentation from an appropriate religious or spiritual leader confirming the conflict with their appeal. Exams are rescheduled for the same day as the make-up exams in the same term. Students who also have religious conflicts with the scheduled make-up date should indicate this in their appeal statement. Accommodations are not possible if the conflict is reported after the exam.
Learn more about absences from class due to a religious conflict.
Exam conflicts
An exam conflict occurs when a student has two exams or a class meeting and an exam scheduled for the same day and time. If the conflict involves two exams, the student will take both exams on the same day: one with the class and the second exam at a different time that day as scheduled by Academic Services.
If an exam conflicts with a class meeting, the student should attend the class. Academic Services will reschedule the exam at a different time that same day.
Students should complete the exam conflict form and submit it to Academic Services no later than two weeks before the conflict date.
Make-up exams
Students who cannot take their final exams as scheduled because of a religious conflict, documented serious illness, or compelling, unexpected circumstances may appeal for a make-up final exam. The following are examples that are not considered compelling reasons to grant a make-up exam: lack of preparation, negligence, misinformation, or planned vacations and other events.
Make-up appeals are considered only for students who provide documentation of a compelling reason for missing the exam, owe no other work in the course than the final exam, have good records of attendance and participation, and are in good financial standing with the Division of Continuing Education. Academic Services contacts instructors to verify students' academic standing in courses for which they've applied for make-up exams as part of the appeals process.
Supporting documentation must accompany the appeal. Two pieces of documentation are required, except in cases of personal illness. Documentation must be written in English and must be on letterhead paper. It should confirm the reasons for missing the exam, signed by the appropriate person in an official capacity, and include travel information if relevant. Medical documentation must be in the form of a letter on the medical provider's letterhead and based on a physical exam within two days of the missed exam. The letter should include a description of the illness, specific dates or range of dates of the illness, and physical and functional limitations of the illness. Documentation written on prescription pads will not be accepted.
Students may appeal for make-up exams by submitting make-up final exam forms no later than three days after the missed exam.
A $25 nonrefundable processing fee for each make-up exam requested must be included with the appeal. Students are advised to call Academic Services before submitting appeals. Incomplete and late appeals will not be considered.
Make-up exams for all sessions are administered at 51 Brattle Street on Saturday, August 19. Make-up exams for courses that have an online final exam are administered on Wednesday, August 16. A student who does not take the make-up exam as scheduled is assigned a failing grade for the exam.
Exams in online courses
Exams in courses with an online option
Your instructor will inform you of the format of the exams in your course. Many online courses have exams which may be take-home, in-class, proctored, or administered via Canvas.
Proctored exams
If you are not able to come to campus to sit for your exam, you must find a qualified proctor near your home to administer the exam in absentia in a proctored setting near your location according to the following procedures.
Finding a qualified proctor. You are responsible for finding a qualified proctor to administer each exam. The proctor must be a teacher, professor, librarian, or administrator in a nearby secondary school, college, university, or testing center. Proctors cannot be family members, friends, acquaintances, or coworkers.
For assistance finding a proctor, contact a guidance counselor, an academic advisor, or the dean of students or registrar's office at a nearby college, university, or high school. You may also use a testing service such as Sylvan Learning Centers, Huntington Learning Centers, and the Consortium of College Testing Centers to proctor your exams. Testing services charge fees for their proctoring services. The Consortium of College Testing Centers has 255 testing centers in 42 states and districts that provide proctoring services to distance students near their homes. Any fees incurred are your responsibility.
Submit your proctor information through online services no later than a week before the campus exam. Before doing so, confirm that your proctor has a business e-mail address, reliable access to the Internet, the ability to download mp3 files (some exams have audio components) and to download and print PDFs, and access to a fax machine or scanner (for returning completed exams to the Summer School). Exam materials are not sent to proctors who do not have a business e-mail address.
Submitting the proctored exam form:
- Complete and submit a proctored exam form through online services (select "Distance Education" then "Distance Education Exam Proctor Information") for each exam (even if you use the same proctor) no later than one week before the on-campus exam date.
- Before submitting the form, find a qualified proctor (see above) with whom you have arranged the date, time, and location for their off-campus exam. If you do not submit a proctored exam form or your form is late, you may forfeit the opportunity to take your exam and will be subject to the instructor's make-up policies for mid-term exams and Summer School make-up policies for final exams.
- E-mail confirmations will be sent to you and your proctor upon receipt of the proctored exam form. If confirmation is not received within 24 hours, send an e-mail to email@example.com or call (617) 495-0977 Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm eastern time.
Proctored exam approval and procedures
When the proctored exam request has been approved, a second e-mail will be sent to you and your proctor that includes details about exam policies and procedures. Exam materials are available to proctors via a password-protected, secure website for a specific length of time. Proctors must download the exam materials within the specified timeframe and administer the exams to the students.
You must complete exams within the specified distance exam window, which will overlap with the on-campus exam date. Proctors must return all exam materials by fax or e-mail (scanned materials) immediately following completion of the exam. Detailed instructions—including the secure web address, fax number, and return e-mail address—are included in the e-mail sent to proctors shortly before the date of the exam.
If you or your proctor do not follow the exam procedures, you may forfeit the exam.
Getting help
For more information, e-mail email@example.com anytime, or call (617) 495-4024 Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, eastern time.

Learning from Lent
To celebrate Fat
Tuesday, I polished off a bag of chips. I'm giving up that indulgence for Lent,
along with fries. Those are my favorite salty snacks, so they seemed like
appropriate Lenten choices. As someone who really, really loves food, I
struggle to stop eating any one thing. But when I was working on our Almost
Vegetarian story, I didn't find it that hard to give up meat.
If you're
abstaining from meat this season, you may agree. When developing meatless
recipes for our February feature, I found that toothsome vegetables, like the
beets in our red chili, deliver a similar hearty texture. As far as
flavor goes, caramelized roasted vegetables, like the ones in our winter veggie pot pie, satisfy with a savory richness much like that found in meat. Since
working on that story, beans have become a staple in my home too. My kids happily
devour bowls of creamy homemade beans.
course, giving up a favorite food still feels like sacrifice. But that's the
point of Lent. Learning to love something else from the experience is just one
of the many hidden blessings of these forty days.

BS is BS in any language
"I am not worried about North Korea because I think China can contain them. Iran, on the other hand, I do worry about. If they get nuclear weapons they *will* give them to the terrorists and POOF Cleveland goes up in smoke."
It was the last minute of Oprah.
POOF Cleveland goes up in smoke.
Every time I see these FOX news pundits I am reminded of the regime: They use the same tactics: bs, hyperbole, fear, and ignorance (their own and ours).
Sometimes the regime gets it right. Sometimes FOX news gets it right. Most of the time both depend on our lack of critical thinking skills and, in the case of FOX, our inalienable right to be entertained to numb us into inaction.
37 comments:
it is not very strange.even independent media and interprators like chamsky have unclear and wrong picture from iran for example chamsky in his last article i have read in internet describe khozestan as an arab province which stand with iraq against iran during 8 years war.every uneducated iranian know it is not true because most of the population of khosestan are lur/persian and they defeat thier home agianst iraq invadation.
so it is not starnge that a media like fox manipulate the facts by its demands...i'm very sorry for the democracy in the west.in acton it is not differ with our dictatorship - 4:10 PM
- Mr. Smarterthanyou said...
Fox has 2 main problems:
Bill O'Reilly, what a blowhard!! Listen to his radio show, which is actually good, but you can tell the difference in his manner, which shows how fake he is on TV
Greta VanSustren, what a bunch of useless voyerism!! Who cares about Natalee Holloway, and all the other visible and "interesting" cases she constantly shows. Dozens of people are murdered every day in poor areas, but no, she has to focus on spoiled and stupid rich white girls.
If you like politics with your news, but you want it FAIR, watch Brit Hume. He doesn't pretend to be anything but a conservative, but he has real debate on his show. If you are into the economy, Neil Cavuto is VERY good. He doesn't go for the trendy doom and gloom crap. - 4:38 PM
What a surprise to see the Brown Shirts, in Foxaganda busy laying the foundations for yet another war?
O'really a known CIA asset, working for a reactionary Zionist Supremacist namely one Murdoch, who is currently married to a Filipino/Thai mail order bride, after divorcing his wife, and putting in place a total news blackout about the court proceedings, in California.
The same Semitic Supremacist owning the 'Weekly Standard' the neo-con rag that is housed only two floors away from the neo-con playpen that American Enterprise Institute, the rag that boasts a whole 2000 copy circulation, but is projected as ten thousands (must be pulping the rag after publication, not an unusual practice in US), under the editorship of one Billy Krystol, son of Irvin Krystol the paranoid student and follower of Trotsky, and a cold-war, warrior whom for years tried to narrow every conceivable gap with USSR; missile gap, aircraft carrier gap, bomber gap, bomb gap, you name it gap (best salesman for the military industrial complex).
The smoke over Cleveland is no different to the mushroom clouds of Saddam WMD, hence the same bunch of lickspittles are at again, the real surprise is the dumb morons whom watching the utter hate, and rubbish spewed by Foxaganda, getting brainwashed into believing they thought of it all by themselves, and the righteous decision that they have arrived at; nookkular them Eye'Rainians, them there ragheads now!
The fact is, often the narrow, and obtuse interpretation of the concept of democracy, through the current didactic discourse, wholly discounts the total absence of democracy in its wider context in the US, UK, commonly known as International Community, and or the West. As reflected in the current climate of lies, and deceit surrounding the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, etc.
However, the real reason for the sponsors of the loud mouths to beat the drums of war is good old brigantine, piracy, and privateering, that is passed on as free market capitalism. In other words why pay for the oil, when you have it for free. All this printing of the dollars, has got of hand and is seen in the value of the dollar that is sliding, so cut the middle man out, stop the printing presses, and get on with firing the big guns!

- VinceP1974 said...
Gee , why would anyone in America think Iran has any ill intent.
How DARE Bill O'Reilly listen to what Iran tells the world.
The [Iranians] President's chief strategist, Hassan Abbassi, has come up with a war plan based on the premise that "Britain is the mother of all evils" – the evils being America, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, the Gulf states and even Canada, all of whom are the malign progeny of the British Empire. "We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization," says Mr Abbassi. "There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them… Once we have defeated the Anglo-Saxons the rest will run for cover." - 6:46 AM
- ET said...
Winston, you really are using classic anti-semitic arguments. Certainly there are more reasonable ways to frame your argument.
Anonymous, or as your signature refers to you, Winston Effingham Smith; you make me laugh with your contradictory hate filled rant. You first call fox news Nazis, then call them Zionists.
Well which is it? The two are mutually exclusive.
Classic! - 6:35 PM
Ergo, I rest my case!
Vince foaming at the mouth, starts to defend Billy, then proceeds to regurgitate the drip feed mind enema that he has been subjected to, get here, and drivel on, verily believing he has reached a conscious decision uttering the unconscious drivelling, and stuff of the nightmare that he has absorbed.
ET conflating Semitic Supremacy, the definitive description of Zionism, with Judaism, proceeding to level the trumped up charge of anti-Semitism.
Simply overlooking the fact that being Jewish somehow is not akin to having a license to be racists, and obnoxious. Further, the conflation of Zionism/Semitic Supremacy is a lazy attempt to portray any opposition to the pernicious, and virulent doctrines of Supremacy with Semites in mind, as hatred towards a group of people, ie the Semites.
While Murdoch has systematically eliminated, and sacked any editors, or employees whom dared to be critical of Israel, throughout his media empire, evidently he is not a Semitic Supremacist, and in fact is a kind philanthropist spending his cash on loss making Weekly Standard, and Foxaganda, and keeping Billy a known CIA operative on his payroll for the sake of bringing the masses the truth! The truth as set out in 'Defence of the Realm', or 'Clean Break', originally written for Biby Natansatan, later adapted for the US and implemented as 'Project for American New Century' that kick-started operation Iraqi Freedom, and or attack on Lebanon, and or the next country along, in short a state of perpetual war.
Those Who Dare to Lecture Us
The Lobby and American Campaigns
Finally Scott, is amused because he verily believes Zionism and Nazism are mutually exclusive, a conclusion that he has arrived at all be himself, evidently.
Board of Deputies of British Jews: "Pragmatic" Nazi-Zionist Collaboration was OK
"The Nazi era is the most discussed period in history, yet most Jews and others are unaware of the interaction between Zionism, Hitler and Mussolini. This book brings to light, through the use of actual historic documents, the disservice that the Zionists did to Jews before and during the Holocaust. Some of these documents were published in English decades ago, but are only now seeing the light of day. Others are being translated into English here for the first time. Included are excerpts from Propaganda Minister Goebbels' newspaper, Der Angriff, detailing an SS-man's visit to Palestine as the Zionists' guest. Readers will also learn about Adolf Eichmann's account of his personal dealings with Hungarian Zionist Reszo Kasztner, who was later assassinated in Israel as a Nazi collaborator who betrayed 400,000 Hungarian Jews. Also revealed is pro-Zionist propaganda put out by the Nazis, such as a medal for getting Jews to Palestine and a Nazi board game where the object is to move Jews to Palestine. The documents contained in this book were selected with due care so that a rounded picture of history emerges. The author concludes that Zionism betrayed the Jews; and the evidence that led him to that conclusion is contained in this book."
Who is laughing now mate?
But I digress, the facts remain that the neo-con culprits are slaving away to bring about a middle east conducive to Israeli liking, ie, no other country exist other than Israel.

What is a neo-con?
- VinceP1974 said...
And how is quoting an Iranian official considered to be "foaming" freak?
- Mr. Smarterthanyou said...
Neo-con is a word invented by liberals to describe jews, who used to be solid socialists, who woke up and became conservative after 9/11. Liberals can't believe that a jew could actually be conservative. You really have to read between the lines to see how this word came about, mainly by seeing WHO they first started using this term on.
Now, like any word created by the left, it has morphed. - 4:58 PM
- VinceP1974 said...
Mr. Smart: I did know what it meant.. I wanted to see how the person using it was going to justify using it.
Your right though, usually it's used as a code word for non-leftist jews. - 7:16 PM
- danielspengies said...
Neo-con, in terminology, has nothing to do with Jewish individuals. It's a generalized term that was put into use after WW2 to refer to the new conservative movement that included many former liberals and socialists.
But then again both of you grasp at straws so often I'm not surprised you'd come to yet another incorrect conclusion. - 2:53 AM
- VinceP1974 said...
daniel dum dum:
From your beloved Wikipedia:
"First, "neo-conservative" is a codeword for Jewish. As antisemites did with big business moguls in the nineteenth century and Communist leaders in the twentieth, the trick here is to take all those involved in some aspect of public life and single out those who are Jewish. The implication made is that this is a Jewish-led movement conducted not in the interests of all the, in this case, American people, but to the benefit of Jews, and in this case Israel. "
"[If] you read the Middle Eastern press, it seems to be a euphemism for some kind of nefarious Zionist conspiracy. But I think that, in my view it's very important to approach [foreign policy] not from a doctrinal point of view. I think almost every case I know is different. Indonesia is different from the Philippines. Iraq is different from Indonesia. I think there are certain principles that I believe are American principles – both realism and idealism. I guess I'd like to call myself a democratic realist. I don't know if that makes me a neo-conservative or not. "
But you knew this, don't act like you didn't. - 6:41 AM
- danielspengies said...
Holy shit, two psychotic neocons (one who is about to be booted from the world bank because of obviously unethical behavior) claim that it's anti-semitic and you jump on that bandwagon? It's a general term, and very few who use it have any intentions on using it to describe Jewish individuals. The actual definition of neo-con, given in that entry, has NOTHING to do with your narrow minded view of the world...
But again, this would take LOGIC to figure out, and you've proven to have none of that. You have a lot of hatred towards Islam and those with brown skin, as you have proven by throwing around babble about how Iran is evil and wants to conquer the world, but you have little idea of anything you actually talk about. - 9:13 AM
- danielspengies said...
"Writing in the current issue of the National Interest, Rich Lowry, a conservative of the non-neo variety, defines a neocon as someone with a "messianic vision" of using American power to spread democracy, an indifference to the crucial distinction between what would be nice and what is essential to national security, and excessive optimism that we can arrange things according to our own values in strange and faraway lands."

Hey guys, get the hell out of this blog , and put your shit comments somewhere else, will you?
- danielspengies said...
Vince, if you had any ability to read, you'd figure out that I was proving you horribly wrong. The idea that "neo-con" is anti-semitic is simply a ploy by the neo-cons to try to trample the word before it properly labels them for their disgusting and destructive politics. As i said, it was a term invented post ww2 to describe former liberals turned conservative. It has mutated in meaning since then, as the source I cited indicated. If you can't follow that basic logic, then please delete yourself immediately and let the adults have their conversations.

Well, ET, are you going to do something about the strange characters populating your blog? Winston Effing something is a far right total nutcase. You were much too polite to him. And how about this Spengies character and his operation Ajax? And his idee fixe about bad US and good Iran? I can't understand why they are using your blogs for their mastubatory obssessions. Please don't allow them to use your blog as a soapbox for their moronic ideas. I visit your blog because I like your writing and I am interested in your experience as an american woman living in Iran. Please consider deleting posts not relevant to topics discussed. I am sure your are not interested in being a cop but you may want to disable the comments function until some people take their fight elsewhere.
- danielspengies said...
Danielspengies and his operation ajax talk is actually a history lesson. Operation Ajax has helped to shape the last sixty years of relations between Iran and the west. It is incredibly important because it show how badly the west screwed up relations with a country, due solely to its lust for oil and its paranoid delusions over communism. I don't know what ET thinks of me personally, but I'm sure she's heard about Operation Ajax on more than one occasion. It was the start of a imperialistic pattern that the vicious US and it's European lapdogs have repeated time and time again. Any blood that has been shed from Iran since rests solely on the hands of the US and its allies.
And VinceP, I only used one definition for neocon. It's not my fault you can't follow a logical conversation. - 10:26 AM

And Vincp, for future reference, you might want to consult the Iran section of my blog for a history lesson. Remember to read everything, memorize it, and make it your own, since it's the reality of the situation than is 180 degrees opposite of your anti-islam, I hate brown people, views.

Mr. Smarter Than You,
I deleted your comment for the following reasons: you rightly pointed out that daniel spengies has his own blog, yet you chose to attack him for his posts there on this blog. You called him names without making real arguments. As I pointed out, I love vigorous debate. But we are all old enough to distinguish name-calling and debate. - 10:02 PM
- Mr. Smarterthanyou said...
Accusing people of bigotry without justification is just as bad as calling someone an idiot or an asshole. But it seems the the type of invective that leftists throw out are more socially acceptable than when the normal guy just plain calls BS on it.
That is bias. - 6:52 PM
- ET said...
Mr. STY, I agree with you about the bigotry remark. The thing is, I had not yet posted my comments policy when that was written. On top of that, I do not have the bandwidth or the time to delete everything that was written earlier. I am too impatient with my slow internet connection for that kind of work.
So, your comment came after the policy was posted. Fair or not, that's the way it goes. - 10:35 AM
Mr. Bill O'REALLY(?) is a moron. My impression of a neocon is that they are hawks. They are intent on the supremacy of the US as a military power, which I think we have never intentionally wanted to be.
As for the Jewish connection to neocons, there are Jewish neocons like Wolfowitz, and there are plenty of non-Jewish neocons like George Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, to name a few. Jews in fact are usually very uncomfortable with neocon policies. - 5:42 PM
