Apple and HTC have reached a global settlement to their long-running patent dispute. The settlement includes a 10-year cross-licensing agreement. A joint statement released by both companies quotes HTC's Peter Chou and Apple's Tim Cook:
"HTC is pleased to have resolved its dispute with Apple, so HTC can focus on innovation instead of litigation," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC.
"We are glad to have reached a settlement with HTC," said Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. "We will continue to stay laser focused on product innovation."
So, all in on the innovation. The settlement includes current and future patents. No terms were disclosed. Phil Nickinson of our Mobile Nations sibling site, Android Central spoke to HTC tonight and also learned:
The licensing deal covers all of HTC's products, company spokesman Jeff Gordon told Android Central this evening, which includes Android as well as its current Windows Phone stable. Gordon also said that "we do not expect this license agreement to have an adverse material impact on the financials of the company."
HTC makes both Android and Windows Phone devices. Apple already has a cross-licensing deal in place with Microsoft. When it comes to Android, however, Apple's late co-founder, Steve Jobs, vowed to go thermonuclear on what he considered Android's grand theft of iPhone intellectual property, and Tim Cook has asserted that Apple can't be the developer for the world. Apparently neither that legacy nor that position were impediments to a resolution in HTC's case.
Apple has previously reached a settlement with Nokia as well, but they remain in litigation with the very-well funded Samsung and the Google-owned Motorola.

Finally, after really really hard work, I have passed my exams on PMI - PBA with Proficient..
It was my first certificate, and I wanted it very badly so I put a lot of effort on it.. It become my actual project, I had even created a project plan for it..
You cannot imagine how much relieved and happy you can be when you click the submit button and you see the congratulations screen
The time is enough, don't worry about this. It took me 3 hours and 35 minutes with 3 small breaks of 5 minutes each.
The questions are sometimes 1 line most of the times 2-3 lines and few times very big, 5-6 lines. The assessment test we have here are very similar in concept, tone and quality.
The whole process took 3 months in total. I have read Practitioners Guide for BA 2-3 times, requirements managements practice guide once (In parallel with PG for BA), and the related topics from PMBOK (Scope, Integration, Communication, Stakeholders, Quality, Risk etc). I have also read the relevant sections from Business Analysis Techniques: 99 Essential Tools for Success. It gives you a clear understanding for the first chapter, Needs Assessment.
In parallel I was watching the course videos. Everyday.. 2 or 3 or for some videos, 4 times each. The videos are very essential and they build your understanding.
Then the assessment test.. I didn't take a lot but I made sure that I have taken all of them until I got until around 80% on each one. Don't get panic if you don't score high on the first attempt, take it as an opportunity for improvement. Read the explanations that are provided for each questions. Read also the explanation given for correct answers in order to validate your knowledge.
You will find the exam level according to how well you have been prepared. If you are well prepared will not be very difficult. 90% of the questions are situational. They give you a scenario and a lot of information and they are asking you what you would do next as Business Analyst.
In general, there is no shortcut to success.. You need to study, learn and understand all the concepts. You have to build the Business Analyst mindset. You have to understand who is this guy and what is his role in a project.
Understand what are different responsibilities of PM and a BA in a project. Understand when they work together. Understand also other fundamental roles in a project. The sponsor, the other stakeholders, the testing team, the development team. Understand when a BA interacts with all of them.
Important concepts per chapter:
Needs Assessment: Understand well the business case and what it includes. Understand the process and the tasks you need to perform as a BA in order to conclude to the business case. Understand that an organization will create/buy something only of it will give value to them. Help the organization to choose the option that it will give the highest value after excluding other alternative options. Include everything on the business case.
Planning: Clear in your mind that here you are planning only Business analysis work. Also clear that you have to collaborate with Project Manager because you are not working in isolation, whatever you plan it has to be integrated in the general Project Plan. Make sure that you collaborate so you don't have duplicate information in your project documents, like stakeholders analysis, communication plan etc. Understand that both you and PM are working in the same areas but each one for different purpose. BA for the product scope and PM for the whole project. At this point you have to make sure what is the difference between project and product.
Elicitation and Analysis: Understand the various methods for requirements elicitation. Understand all their differences and make sure you know which one to use in each situation. Understand analysis and what tools and techniques you have as a BA in order to perform the analysis. Understand the models and their usage. Finally make sue that is crystal clear for you what is Verification and what is Validation and their related techniques. Look at the section of Analysis tools and techniques and make sure you know all of them. You NEED to know very well RACI, Pareto and Conflict management. Understand why you need to document the solution and why you need to obtain sign off from stakeholder.
Traceability and Monitoring: READ AND UNDERSTAND all of it!! Is the most important chapter. It is maybe only 15% of your exams but the concepts you learn here are used in all other domains. Very big amount of questions are related to Traceability matrix. Traceability matrix is also the possible answer to other questions. If it is not clear for you, you may get a lot wrong answers. Understand the importance of baselining requirements and change control board, change control process etc. Understand how you can perform a change at each possible scenario (after baseline, before baseline etc)..
I can say here that I was very lucky that the last day before exams I run into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DyOo02 ... e=youtu.be
Really, it was a gold choice, may exam questions were clear for me after watching that video
Evaluation: Understand if the value proposed on Business Case is finally achieved. You actually compare actual and plan results to see in which degree you have achieved your goals.
I hope my lesson learned will help future test takers.

Home: That was possibly the dullest Sunday ever, at least since I left Ipswich. Nowhere to go, nothing to do, nobody to see. So, instead of going out, I've stayed in and spent the whole day giving my homepage a radical update. Not this page, that page. The list of postcodes below is just an example of what you'll find on there. If your Monday at work turns out to be as dull as my Sunday at home, why not waste some time having a look?

Boy Scout Group Games
Fun, active team building games keep scouts energized and interested. Whether you play a great outdoor game while camping with your entire troop or an indoor game with a small den, remember Scouting is a Game with a Purpose. Most games can be played by cub scouts and boy scouts, but some require activity not suitable for younger boys. When you use a scout game that the boys like, you'll know because it will be requested over and over and subsequent meetings. Please let us know if you have a favorite we missed or if you use one you found here and it is a big hit. Have fun building your group of boys into a team of scouts through games and camping.

This site itself is immensely helpful. What a great place to start building the camaraderie of our small but growing pack!Sep 15, 2012 - Angela Cox
There are some awesome ideas here! Thanks for the great resource.Sep 20, 2012 - Lesley Mauldin
Can you recommend an indoor game for a Pack of 100 boys (1st - 6th grade) for 15 minutes? The theme is coopertation. The space is pretty small so I don't want anything overly active. Maybe an ice breaker to get to know one another better. Or to learn more about camping?Sep 22, 2012 - Scouter Paul
Lesley - 100 scouts in a small space and you don't want them overly active? :-) good luck! Maybe try "Line Up" - tell them all to line up by birthday from January over here to December over there. Once they're done have them line up alphabetically by first name. Then, by number of pets. Then, by ... whatever. There's no winners, but they all have to work together.Feb 07, 2015 - skylar kenneth ackley

I have been teaching Sudoku and Team Sudoku to elementary students in Nevada County for 4 years. On April 27, 20017, we held the FIRST ANNUAL CHILDREN'S TEAM SUDOKU TOURNAMENT, which was very successful. Held at Scotten Elementary School, 71 students on 20 teams from 10 schools competed. We were extremely encouraged by the intensity and focus these kids displayed while tackling a mental challenge. I would be happy to send you pictures from this tournament.
I hope to do a presentation of Team Sudoku to your pack, or individual groups. I think your kids would greatly benefit from learning logic and socialization skills taught and enthusiastically received. Please call me: 477-6282

Officers and Staff
James B. Lewis – Research Analyst and Technical Editor
Jim worked as a researcher in molecular biology for 23 years before doing consulting work and research analysis for Foresight Nanotech Institute.
Jim received a B.A. in chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1967, an M.A. in chemistry from Harvard University in 1968, and a Ph.D. in chemistry, from Harvard University in 1972. After doing postdoctoral research at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research, Lausanne, Switzerland, from 1971-1973, Jim did research in the molecular biology of tumor viruses at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, from 1973-1980, first as a postdoctoral researcher, and then as a Staff Investigator and Senior Staff Investigator. He continued his research as an Associate Member, Basic Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA, from 1980-1988, and then joined the Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Seattle, WA, as a Senior Research Investigator from 1988-1996. Since 1996 he has been working as a consultant on nanotechnology.
After reading Engines of Creation in 1986, Jim became fascinated with the prospects for advanced nanotechnologies and began to wonder how our current technology base could grow towards molecular machine systems and from there to advanced nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology articles written
Jim posts regularly on Foresight's nanotechnology blog Nanodot. Links to selected earlier articles in Foresight Update and other publications can be found here.
Productive Nanosystems Roadmap Articles
During 2007 Jim participated in a first attempt to map the developments needed to move from current capabilities in nanotechnology to advanced systems. Productive Nanosystems: A Technology Roadmap was developed by Foresight Nanotech Institute and Battelle, with initial funding from the Waitt Family Foundation. Jim wrote two papers for the Working Group Proceedings (14.6 MB PDF) part of the roadmap:
Summarizing progress toward advanced nanotechnology
In 2009, Jim wrote a 10,000-word overview of the road from current to advanced nanotechnology, with emphasis on the most significant advances since the Productive Nanosystems Roadmap was completed in mid-2007:
Exploring similarities and differences between recombinant DNA technology and self-replicating molecular manufacturing
Jim wrote a 4,000-word article for Terasem Movement, Inc.'s 5th Annual Workshop on Geoethical Nanotechnology (held on July 20, 2009 at the Terasem Island Amphitheatre in the virtual meeting environment of "Second Life") examining to what extent the 1975 Asilomar Conference, held to recommend safety procedures for recombinant DNA research, provides a model for regulating self-replicating molecular manufacturing, once this technology becomes imminent.

BEST WESTERN Pioneer Inn Grill & Bar
Pioneer Inn Grill & Bar
Read the latest Review on TripAdvisor
"This restaurant is located in the courtyard of a downtown Lahaina landmark. The Inn (P.I. to locals) was the only hotel in Lahaina for a long time and is currently a comfortable BEST WESTERN property. Fusion-influenced cuisine and fruity drinks are served in a tropical garden setting. The menu features fresh local seafood and produce. Graze on Kula green salad and spring rolls, or go for a heartier choice such as the Fettuccine with Scallops and Mussels".

Great place for breakfast. By far, the most common breakfast dish is the macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. I prefer the mahi mahi and eggs (I know this probably seems weird to you...but it's good).
The atmosphere is perfect for the island. It's like sittin on a porch with open windows. YOu should go at least once while you are on the island.

Enable Spellcheck For KeepNote On Backtrack 5 R3
I take a lot of notes when working no matter if it is learning new stuff or working on projects for my job I have found that great note taking can save you lots of time down the road. The note taking application installed with Backtrack Linux is called KeepNote and provides the all of the functionality that I typically need when taking notes such as folders for organization, easy way(s) to backup notes, tabs, and all the other basics. One thing that does not work out of the box for KeepNote on Backtrack 5 R3 is Spellcheck which I use regularly to make sure my slang has not found itself into the notes I am sharing with others. Below we outline a quick way to enable spellcheck in KeepNote 0.7.7 on Backtrack 5 release 3.

BWW Jr: Better Nate Than Ever
Hey Nerds. Theatre nerds, I mean. Remember when you were a kid and you had big Broadway dreams and nobody really understood? I of course have no idea what this is about because I've always had complete faith that all my Broadway dreams would be completely fulfilled and I never experienced any pre-teen angst during my perfect childhood, but perhaps you understand this particularly dramatic form of strife. If so, you (or your tween-ager) will definitely enjoy reading "Better Nate Than Ever", the story of a small-town eighth grader who concocts a plan to run away to New York and audition for the role of Elliott in the musical version of "E.T."
Nate and his best friend have an interesting quirk: instead of cursing, they spout out the titles of legendary Broadway faults when things go wrong. On page 11, they shout "Holy Dance of the Vampires!" For some reason I found this reference to be particularly amusing. Not sure why. Maybe because it's possible that the I may have been in the cast of that decade-old mega-flop featuring an entire number devoted to Garlic....which author Tim Federle is also quick to point out.
Better Nate is written for middle-schoolers, but my third-grader couldn't put it down. I think it's perfect for kids ages eight through thirteen, depending on their reading level. It's a light, fun, Broadway comedy that parents can enjoy reading along side their kids. And sharing a book with my child is one of the things I love best, mostly because it's so hard to find anything she likes that I can tolerate! In the book's forward, Federle writes: "Better Nate than Ever was written for anyone who knows that the fastest way to star in your own life story is to dream big."
Federle has performed in tons of Broadway shows, but it wasn't until he started working as associate choreographer on Billy Elliot that the idea for Better Nate Than Ever came to mind. Working with a company of child actors reminded Tim what it was like to be an aspiring Broadway star in a world that didn't quite "get" him:
"Growing up in Pittsburgh, I was the only kid who'd cut class to read Stephen Sondheim's unauthorized biography in the library stacks....and I found myself when I found theater. "It gets better" wasn't party of the lexicon when I was in school, but I somehow knew that it would get better-if only I could get to New York City."
Familiar sentiments for anyone who grew up dreaming of being in the spotlight....or pretending that a camera was following her around all day...not that I'd know anything about that...but if you or your child found true love and self acceptance at Stagedoor Manor, or if one of you is never truly happy without the soundtrack from Dreamgirls playing in the background, Better Nate Than Ever should be your next read.
- A tween coming of age story for those of us who want or wanted to be on Broadway or those who want to understand them.
- A funny, light read that can be shared between parents and kids ages 8 and up.
- Better Nate Than Ever will be released February 5th and can be pre-oredered on Amazon.com.
- I really was in Dance of the Vampires ten years ago, picking mushrooms and getting attacked by Vampires in the opening number.

- The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are going to the NCAA tournament. No one, not even IceBorg, can convince me South Dakota State has a better basketball team than Iowa, but the Jackrabbits are part of what makes the tourney different, and cool. Anyone can make it. Plus, no South Dakota team had ever made it to the Dance.
|Tourney bound.
- I was in downtown Des Moines tonight for dinner at Zombie Burger. I had the Flamethrower, but who really cares what I ate? What is this---Facebook? Anyway, while dining it was just nice to see downtown so busy. It's thriving with several entertainment options on any given night. It wasn't always this way. Nice job, city leaders and local business folk.
- Andy Fales gave me Tsingtao beer for my birthday. I have no idea how it tastes, but it comes in cool bottles.
- Two years ago, Ames High School finished its second straight undefeated boys basketball season. The star of the team was undoubtedly the nation's #1 recruit Harrison Barnes. But many of us who saw games thought Doug McDermott was underrated. We feel smart now. However, I'm not going to pretend if I had to guess which one would be a Wooden Award finalist in 2012 and which one wouldn't, I'd go McDermott in, Barnes out, but so it is.
- I'm watching "Hanna" right now. I hope it gets better.
- Saw "The Lorax" over the weekend. It was good, but not great. It never quite soars, but it's bright and fun and kids will love it.
- On our radio show Tuesday, we revealed the guilty pleasures on our ipods. These are the songs you're truly embarrassed to reveal. I have more than a thousand songs, and that includes these aberrations:
|Nice stache.
When I See You Smile" Bad English
"Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" Big & Rich
"Candle in the Wind" Elton John
"The Final Countdown" Europe
"You Sang To Me" Marc Anthony
"Dancing Machine" The Jackson 5
"Sister Christian" Night Ranger
"My Sacrifice" Creed
"Livin La Vida Loca" Ricky Martin
"Song of the South" Alabama (song, song of the south, sweet potato pie and shut my mouth)
- Now that's embarrassing. Andy tried to top it with "Mmm Bop" and some song by Michael Bolton ("Said I Love you, but I Lied"). Our producer, Andrew Downs, did no better than N'Sync's "Bye, Bye, Bye"
- The Cubs finally win the World Series. In this commercial:

Porcelain Veneers
Cosmetic Dentistry Veneers
Your smile is your display to the world of your self-confidence and self-assuredness. But if your teeth are stained from coffee, wine or cigarettes, or if you have one or several chipped or slightly damaged teeth, your smile might be a source of insecurity.
The Best Veneer Options
Miami's Dr. Andres de Cardenas and his staff of caring, concerned professionals want you to know when you walk into our office you're seen as individual with your own set of concerns and goals. So when it comes to creating your best smile, Dr. de Cardenas gives you all the options including porcelain Dental Veneers Near Cutler Bay.
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin laminates that are bonded onto the front side of your teeth. These dental veneers are custom made casings of tooth colored porcelain designed to improve the shape and appearance of the encased teeth.
Porcelain Veneers Procedure
Getting your porcelain veneers from Dr. de Cardenas is typically a three step process. First, you'll have a consultation with Dr. de Cardenas in his Miami office where you'll discuss with him your desired outcomes. If after a full examination of your teeth and consultation it is determined porcelain veneers will achieve your desired goal, a second appointment is scheduled. There, Dr. de Cardenas makes a mold of your teeth for the veneers. On your third visit, the veneers are fitted and bonded.
What Are The Benefits Of Porcelain Veneers?
The most significant benefit to having porcelain veneers is teeth that are stain-free and natural looking. Along with being stain-free, porcelain veneers are also highly stain resistant so you don't have to refrain from drinking red wine or coffee. Also slightly damaged teeth can have a renewed appearance. Teeth that are misaligned or irregularly shaped can appear aligned or normally shaped.
Are Porcelain Veneers Right for Me?
If you're still wondering whether porcelain veneers are the right choice to help you create a smile that reflects your self-confidence and self-assuredness, Dr. Andres (Andy) de Cardenas invites you to find out more.

That will be 12 passes per day per location for making contacts on 145.825! If you are an old packet-pounder, get out that old TNC and make some contacts. (NOT CONNECTIONS) Communicate in UI CONVERSE mode only. People with APRS radios (D7, D700, D710 and the new VX-8R) are ready to go. I request that users do NOT use PCSAT over the next few weeks via its default W3ADO-1 callsign because that means it is not fully restored. When it is ready for user load, the callsign will be changed to PCSAT-1 and the usual generic APRS digipeating callsigns will be activated: PCSAT-1, ARISS, WIDEn-N Since it can support additinoal ones, the future callsigns of APRSAT and SATn-N will also be supported, but until there are more APRSat's or SATn-N digipeaters in space, its a moot point. If you ever see the callsign NODIGI, this means we have turned off the digi completely while allowing for the batteries to get fully charged. All it takes is one full orbit in the sun to be restorable, and then a few orbits before we will turn it over to users. Going green. PCSAT-1 is 100% solar powerd! Bob, Wb4APR

My heart sank when I heard Mitt Romney's videotaped comments to a group of wealthy campaign donors. I so wanted to believe that he's a good, kind, spiritual man – even though I disagree with his politics. I think Jesus' heart must have sunk, too, to hear such cold, condemning words from the lips of someone who professes to be a Christian. But apparently Romney prefers to just worship Jesus, rather than follow Him.
I understand. Every Christian knows it's much easier to worship than follow. It's easy to say "God bless America" – it's hard to go into the military and put your life on the line for her. It's easy to write checks to your church – it's hard to extend your generosity to the thousands of people whose jobs you outsourced. It's easy to help out friends and neighbors in times of need – it's hard to be compassionate to the millions of needy people you don't know personally. It's easy to act pious in public – it's hard to really be Christ-like when you're hanging out with your über-rich friends behind closed doors.
What would Jesus say? I'm not a biblical scholar … but I do know that Jesus had a lot to say about the poor, hungry, and needy … and about those who seek power. Jesus tells me that I AM brother's keeper – it is my job to help those who may have lost their way and ended up homeless, hopeless, and poverty-stricken, no matter how they got there. Jesus tells me to judge not, lest I be judged – it is my job to help others, not judge them as "victims" who refuse to take responsibility for their lives. Jesus tells me to love my neighbor as myself – and He doesn't just mean my literal neighbors – He means everyone. Jesus tells me that the meek shall inherit the earth – it is my job to be humble, not arrogant. Jesus tells me that if I seek to lead people, I must serve them. And Jesus cautions me against personal, ego-driven ambition: "What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your soul?"
Alas, Mitt, the more you talk – in public and in private – the more we see who you really are. Makes me sad. I want to cry when I hear your cold, cruel comments. I think Jesus must be crying, too. Mitt, Mitt, oh Mitt, have you learned nothing from all your years in church?
When I was traveling in North Carolina some years ago, I noticed the marquee in front of a little white church, and its message has stuck with me ever since: "Those who deserve love least, need it the most." So I'm trying to love you, Mitt, I'm really trying … even though you don't seem to love the 47% of Americans who need it the most.
I love you, Mitt, because Jesus tells me to love you as my brother … but I'm praying you never make it to the White House.

There's More Planets Out There!!
Scientists are reporting the existence of 15 new planets, including one "super Earth" that could harbor water.
These planets are orbiting small, cool stars that are near our solar system. They're of interest for the studies of planetary formation and evolution. Experts at the Tokyo Institute of Technology say one of the planets may have an atmospheric composition that they're calling "Earth-like" and could have liquid water.
Much more study is necessary to determine whether or not this planet is inhabitable, but scientists say this discovery is promising. The researchers caution that there's no guarantee the earth-like planet can sustain life.

In 2016 the government expanded section 35 of the Citizenship Act to revoke the citizenship of any Australian who joins a foreign terrorist group. The measure includes Australians with single and dual citizenship and was proposed after several Australian nationals joined ISIS in the Middle East. The previous law revokes citizenship if Australians take up arms with the militaries of 'enemy states' but does not cover foreign terrorist organziations. Opponents include human rights groups and constitutional lawyers who argue that the law allows foreign governments to accuse people of terrorism for minor acts including graffiti and sit in protests. Proponents argue that the law is necessary to prevent terrorists re-entering the country. See recent terrorism news

PSU helps families with important financial aid form
Monday, February 18, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is one of the most important documents students and their families should fill out for college, according to experts in Pittsburg State University's Office of Student Financial Assistance.
To help ease the process, PSU is urging students thinking about college for the fall to participate in College Goal Sunday Kansas, between 2 and 4 p.m. on Feb. 24, in PSU's Student Welcoming Center (Horace Mann). Financial Aid staff will help students and their families fill out the important FAFSA and answer questions about financial aid.
"Some families may not fill out the FAFSA because they believe that their income is too high for their students to qualify for need-based aid," said Tammy Higgins, director of the Office of Student Financial Aid. "But family income is just one of the factors considered to determine student aid eligibility. And even if the student doesn't qualify for Pell grants, which go to the lowest-income students, there are a wide array of grants, scholarships and loans that use the information from the FAFSA."
Higgins said there is another incentive for students and parents to come to College Goal Sunday.
"It's definitely worth their time to stop by this event," Higgins said. "One lucky participant will win a $500 scholarship."
College Goal Sunday Kansas is supported by the Lumina Foundation and coordinated by the Kansas Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (KASFAA). The annual event is sponsored by USA Funds and Lumina Foundation for Education.
For more information, contact the PSU Office of Student Financial Assistance at 620-235-4240, www.pittstate.edu/office/financial_assistance.

Dining plan requirements
All Residents who have 40 or fewer credits at the time they move onto campus are required to purchase a meal plan for the entire academic year. Residents are responsible for understanding and adhering to the Meal Plan Contract.
Housing down payments and booking fees
All applicants reserving a Unit are required to pay (or if eligible, defer their payment of) a Housing Down Payment and Booking Fee in order to secure a room assignment. The Down Payment is applied toward the Resident's first quarter rent. Housing Down Payments and Booking Fees are non-refundable. Exceptions to this non-refund policy will only be made for documented medical reasons approved by the Assistant Director for Residential Life or their designee.
Cancelation prior to occupancy
Prior to occupying a Unit, an applicant may cancel this Contract by e-mail, in person, or by phone, by providing notice of the intent to cancel to the Assistant Director for Residential Life or their designee. The date of notification will be the official date of cancellation. The Contract shall be deemed automatically canceled if an applicant fails to check in and receive keys for a Unit within 3 days of the beginning of the Contract term, or if the Contract is entered into after the start of a quarter, within 3 days of the Unit reservation being secured with the Housing Down Payment by the applicant. As provided for herein, the College will retain the Down Payment made by the applicant in the event of such cancelation.
Contract break
A Resident who moves out without an approved "Release from Contract" form and/or is evicted by Residential and Dining Services will be considered to have broken the Contract. A Resident with a broken Contract is obligated to pay the full rental rate for the current quarter plus a fee for not honoring the remainder of your contract: $700 if broken in fall quarter, and $350 if broken in winter quarter.
Check-out information
Residents must check out when they vacate their Unit and return any keys, and can do so by following the process outlined online or by contacting the RAD front office. Residents must check out before 12:00 noon on the Friday of Evaluation week of Fall and Winter Quarters to avoid being charged for the full cost of the following quarter, as well as additional charges and/or penalties. Spring quarter check out must occur before Wednesday, June 12, 2019 at 5:00 pm.
Improper check-out
If a Resident does not check out properly by following the check-out process, they will be charged an improper check out fee of $100. In the spring quarter, failure to check out by the end of the Contract will result in a $300 late checkout fee plus the $100 improper check out fee.
Contract release
Residents may seek a Contract Release by filing a Contract Release (PDF) form. Contract Releases must be approved by the Assistant Director for Residential Life, or their designee. Contract Releases are typically granted for the following reasons:
- Academic Internship, Study Abroad, or an Individual Learning Contract which requires the resident to live outside Thurston County for a period of 30 consecutive days or more during an academic quarter.
- Change of academic status with the College such as Academic Leave of Absence, Academic Withdrawal or Graduation.
- Medical Release. Access Services will need to collect medical information and possibly consult with your health care provider explaining why the medical condition requires the Resident to be released from their housing contract. Residential and Dining Services requires thirty (30) days from receipt of notification from Access Services to work to accommodate the Resident's specific medical needs before considering the Contract Release.
Refunds for contract releases
If a Contract Release is approved, the Resident will be billed for the number of days the Unit was occupied prior to check out, with the following limitations: If the Resident checks out within 30 days of the end of the academic quarter, they are obligated to pay rent for the entire quarter. If the Resident checks out after 12:00 noon on the last day of a quarter and before the 30th day of the following quarter, they will be charged a $300 late checkout fee, in addition to the per diem cost of their Unit.
Residential and Dining Services reserves the right to reassign any Resident to another Unit at any time in order to make the most efficient and effective use of the residential facilities. Residential and Dining Services may also consolidate a Unit(s) when the Unit is 50% or less occupied, at Residential and Dining Services' discretion.
Housing reassignment
Residential and Dining Services reserves the right to reassign any Resident to another Unit at any time in the event such a reassignment is deemed necessary and is reasonable under the circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to, the welfare of residents; violations of Housing Policy or the Student Code of Conduct; to accommodate facilities operations or repair; and to accommodate students with disabilities.
Reduced occupancy
If a roommate leaves, the remaining Resident must be willing to accept a new roommate when someone is assigned to the vacant space at any time during the academic year. If a Resident refuses, or does not maintain the Unit in such a way that a new roommate can move in, the Resident may be charged for use of the additional space. At Residential and Dining Services' discretion, a Resident may be given the option of reduced occupancy, allowing the Resident to pay an additional charge to use a shared Unit as a single.
Termination of student housing contract
The Resident's Contract may be terminated by the College upon any of the conditions set forth below. Termination of the Contract by the College will be treated as a "Contract Break" unless the College grants a "Contract Release." Termination of the Contract shall not relieve the Resident of their liabilities and obligations under this Contract including charges for the Unit and meal plan, Contract breakage fees or obligations, and any other charges incurred before or after termination.
- By Termination of Student Status: Students must check out and vacate their Unit within 72 hours (3 days) of the termination of their registered student status or being issued zero credits by their program or course faculty before the end of an academic term.
- By Default, Violation, Failure to Perform, or Breach of any terms or conditions of this Contract: The Contract may be terminated and students evicted, after 3 days' notice of intent, in the event that the student:
- Is in default in payment for more than 10 days, except where there is a written agreement to extend the period, or
- Breaches, violates, fails to perform, or is in default of the performance of any of the terms of this Contract, or
- Receives a conduct hold on their student registration or is no longer eligible to reside in student housing based on a final decision rendered under the Student Conduct Code.
Room rates and payments
Charges for Units will be assessed based on the Resident's assigned Unit and Contract length. Residents who are allowed to move in prior to their Contract start date will be billed at a prorated daily rate for the additional days of occupancy. Adjustment in billing will not be made for Residents who move in after the beginning of their Contract; however Residents who receive a Unit assignment after the standard check in date will only be responsible for rent from the date of their assignment.
Rent is billed quarterly and due in full at the same time quarterly tuition is due. Rent is paid online or at the Cashier's Office. Rent being paid with grants, loans, scholarships or other financial aid and/or earnings from the College, is due upon receipt of the aforementioned money.
If unable to pay rent in full, the Resident must contact the Residential and Dining Services Office prior to the due date to make arrangements to meet the financial obligations. A late fee of $50 is assessed for all Residential and Dining Services rent charges that are past due on the tenth (10th) day of the quarter; Residents who are waiting for financial aid to arrive may set up a payment plan in advance of the tenth (10th) day of the quarter. An additional late fee of $75 will be assessed for all Residential and Dining Services rent charges that are past due on the thirtieth (30th) day of the quarter. Residents awaiting the receipt of financial aid or College earnings and who are unable to timely pay rent will be subject to the late fee set forth herein.
Residents who have not met the deadline by paying their rent in full, setting up a payment plan, or communicating with Residential and Dining Services in advance about their plan to pay, may be subject to the loss of certain housing-related services or privileges, and/or eviction.
View housing rates. The Evergreen State College Board of Trustees annually approves rates in late spring.
Unpaid rent and collections
The Resident agrees to pay the reasonable cost and expenses of collection, including the collection agency fee and reasonable attorney's fees, in the event the College is required to place any outstanding account, debt or claim with a collection agency and/or utilize the assistance of legal counsel to collect on the account, debt or claim arising from this agreement. In addition, the Resident's transcript and records will be held until the debt is resolved.
Services provided
All Units are furnished and include utilities (water, heat, electricity, garbage) and Internet access. The College shall have the right to temporarily interrupt such utilities (due to accidents, emergencies, repairs, alterations or improvements) which in the judgment of the College are necessary or desirable. Interruption of these services may also occur due to conditions beyond the College's control. The Resident shall claim no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation, nor shall this agreement or any part of the obligation to the Resident hereunder be affected or reduced by such interruption or curtailment of these services.
Damage and cleaning
The Resident must keep their assigned Unit clean and advise Residential and Dining Services staff of any necessary repairs. The Resident is responsible for the costs and expenses resulting from damage to a Unit, or building, including college equipment or furniture, by the Resident or their guests. The Resident is also responsible for the cost of additional cleaning required to return their Unit to its pre-occupancy state. The Resident will be sent a Room Inventory form in the first five business days after check-in which allows the Resident to document the existing condition of the Unit; the Room Inventory must be turned in within seven business days of its receipt.
Any alterations, modification or additions to the Unit are prohibited. Additional locks, structural additions of any kind, removal of fixtures, or painting are prohibited. All repairs, including painting, must be completed by Residential and Dining Services staff.
The Resident is responsible for any keys signed out. Keys may not be duplicated or altered. A lock change is required for lost keys, and costs $75 per lock; lock changes on mailboxes cost $20.
Residential and Dining Services financial charges may be appealed by filing a Financial Appeal Application; appeal deadlines may be found here as well. Appeals are reviewed by the Director of Residential and Dining Services.
Personal property
The College assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to any Resident's personal property from any cause. Residential and Dining Services strongly recommends students obtain insurance coverage by purchasing a renter's insurance policy or verify that coverage is available under their family's homeowner's insurance policy.

MTV Looks Forward to "Half-Blood Prince" in 2008
Jan 07, 2008
With the start of the new year come the lists of anticipated films due in the months ahead. MTV has a new article now online regarding the movies they are most looking forward to seeing, naming "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" at the number two spot behind "Bond 22." They write of the sixth Harry Potter film as follows:
"Harry's going to kiss Ginny! Ron's going to get an intimate whiff of Lavender Brown! Somebody really, really important will die! Although loyalists already know the major "Prince" plot points, all eyes are on director David Yates as he attempts to bring them to life while matching the book's emotional impact. Last year's "Order of the Phoenix" gave us darker imagery and dramatically heftier acting from the leads. Now, with the magical series winding down, could "Prince" be the film that finally stirs up Oscar buzz for Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and/or Emma Watson? With enormous sets like the underground cave that houses one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and new characters that include Jim Broadbent's enigmatic potion master, Horace Slughorn, Yates certainly has his work cut out for him. If only there were a spell that could transport us to November."
As we reported previously, Half-Blood Prince is currently in production, with many of the scenes featuring the students due to be recorded in the following weeks. Actor Alan Rickman is also due to film this month, returning again in his pivotal role of Professor Severus Snape. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be released on November 21, 2008.

Man i'd bang me one of them dang ol' space ladies with them dang ol' big boobies and green skin i tell you and the eep-eep-orp-ah-ah all over man, dang ol... dang ol antennas in my bed and I'm just, hey man. just go with it. i tell you what.
...That happens to be how science works- you constantly rework your model to match reality. If you want eternal consistency (well...kind of), go read a theological text.For the record, the reason Pluto was reclassified was because the term planet wasn't really scientifically defined until 2006. Before then it was actually a pretty loose term. They discovered a tenth body that was larger than Pluto, which prompted them to put their foot down on what should be classified as a planet and what shouldn't.

No matter if they are victors or losers today, the Wallabies will leave Argentina having won over the locals. During their week in Rosario, the Wallabies have done all they can to embrace the Argentinian culture. The chief Wallabies pied piper is Test hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau who astounded the local media when he spoke Spanish for several minutes during a media conference. They were even more delighted when he said he was a fan of the local football hero Lionel Messi. The Barcelona star's junior club, Newell's Old Boys, heard about this and the following day their players arrived en masse at the Wallabies' city hotel, located just around the corner from where Che Guevara was born, to give him a team jersey. Polota-Nau responded by giving the Old Boys club the Wallabies jersey he wore against the Springboks last weekend. One of the main football clubs – Rosario Central – are also enthused the Wallabies are in town. Unbeknown to the players, the Rosario club will present each of the Wallabies players with a club jersey before today's kick-off. The players have also made certain they have immersed themselves in the local fare. They were soon directed to the best steak house in Rosario and discovered that asking for seconds was impossible.
Scott Johnson, former Wallabies assistant coach and now a key member of the Scotland coaching staff, had some encouraging words for his old Australian colleagues when they were in South Africa. Johnson stayed at the same hotel as the team in Pretoria and met up with many of his old colleagues. He had been commenting on recent Rugby Championship games for a British television station where he made the point that the Wallabies will be dangerous during next year's British and Irish Lions series. He argues that the gap between the All Blacks and Wallabies is not as big as some make out because one country is currently enjoying a virtual injury-free run and the other has been decimated by a glut of unavailable players. Fortune can so quickly turn.
Wallabies winger Digby Ioane has an intriguing diet. When asked during the week to name his favourite food, he replied: "Weet-Bix." And we're not talking one or two. He said when he is by himself he eats seven Weet-Bix for breakfast, seven for lunch and seven for dinner. For a bit of a change, he has tuna and rice. Regular as clockwork you would imagine.
❏ Strong word that Quade Cooper has recently clashed with an important Reds heavy. Not as bad as a major altercation some months ago between a well-known Reds Wallaby representative and a now departed Queensland team official in an incident that was successfully hushed up.
❏ Suggestions John O'Neill will depart as the ARU chief executive shortly after the Lions tour next year? Brett Robinson is being pursued by some to take over as ARU boss.
❏ Who is the Waratahs official known as the optometrist because all he talks about is "I"?

No backyard is complete without the summer kitchen! What a great way to get the full experience of the Florida lifestyle. Enjoy family and friends while grilling by the pool on a warm summer's night, or light a fire in your new fire-pit on a cool winter night. The design possibilities are endless! Outdoor living is just one of the great reasons to live in Florida, so take advantage of our beautiful climate.
A summer kitchen can be just a grill, or you can expand it to include a side burner, sink, refrigerator, pizza oven…whatever really. You may have a wall to spare that we can transform into a beautiful outdoor dining experience. Or, we can build something completely freestanding to coordinate with the look of your home, pool, and yard.
If you have an outdoor kitchen already, we would be happy to update it for you. We can replace old counters with granite or tile for example, or give you a decorative backsplash. We can replace old dingy cabinets and doors with new. If your grill currently fills your enclosure or lanai with smoke every time you cook, we can add a beautiful vent hood for you. All you have to do is ask! Like I said earlier, the possibilities are endless.
A summer kitchen goes great with a swimming pool. Some other nice accompaniments include pergolas, fireplaces, fire-pits, awnings, a bar area, and a screen enclosure.
Call us today at 386-931-3778 to find out more.

DETROIT - A gas station clerk in Detroit was taken into custody early Friday morning after allegedly shooting two people with an AK-47.
Sources told Local 4 the victims were shot by the 20-year-old clerk at a BP station at Ewald and Davison just after 4 a.m. and drove themselves to Sinai Grace Hospital. They are in temporary serious condition.
Sources said the victims, who are 25 and 26 years old, weren't armed but had been causing trouble at the station and may have a history of trouble at the same station before.
The clerk allegedly hid the gun in a bathroom before police arrived, sources said. But officers found it in a lightbulb box and also allegedly found the clerk trying to disable the station's security cameras.
Jack Johnson said he delivers papers every morning to the station and knows the people who were there. He said they're good people and he was shocked to see the ransacked station and trails of blood.
"They're good guys. I'm pretty sure it was self-defense. Like I said, when things occur inside, you got to treat it like your home," Johnson said.
