Quality Check-Up Visit begins tomorrow
Columbus State will welcome Higher Learning Commission (HLC) reviewers Dr. Cheryl Carpenter-Davis and Dr. George Johnston to campus Tuesday, September 18 through Thursday, September 20 for the college's Quality Check-Up Visit. The Check-Up Visit occurs in the final year of the seven-year AQIP process of accreditation.
During the visit, Drs. Carpenter-Davis and Johnston will meet with teams from across campus to discuss everything the college is doing, from action projects and federal compliance, to strategic planning, governance, community engagement and student projects. They will meet individually with faculty, staff and student panels. A large group of community leaders will come to campus to discuss their partnerships with Columbus State. The college's "Systems Portfolio" and Columbus State's response to the Higher Learning Commission's feedback on that portfolio will also be presented.
After the Quality Check-Up Visit, the Higher Learning Commission will provide a report that outlines their findings. Consideration for Columbus State's Reaffirmation of Accreditation will then be completed by a full HLC review panel by the end of the year.
Columbus State Bicentennial calendars in the mail to employees
In February, students from the Hospitality Management Baking class helped Columbus celebrate the city's 200th birthday by designing and creating a series of Columbus landmark cakes, including the LeVeque Tower, the Capitol building, Nationwide, the Columbus Zoo and even the airport! The cakes were presented to guests at the party held in Battelle Hall, photographed with their student creators, and then quickly devoured.
Later in the year, Columbus State photography students were sent on assignment to photograph each of the same landmarks, and the winning photos were combined with the cake photos to create a souvenir 18-month calendar to give to guests at the 2012 Taste the Future scholarship fundraiser, which also honored the Bicentennial, with Mayor Coleman serving as the honorary chair.
The calendars are now being distributed through interoffice mail to employees, so keep an eye out this week for yours in your mailbox! The Bookstore will also distribute calendars on Customer Appreciation Day, Tuesday, September 18.

2 teaspoon mustard oil
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1.Boil the potatoes till done. Peel.
2.Grind the toasted sesame seeds into a powder and mix with the other spices.
3. Add this mixture to the cooked potatoes and stir well with the aid of a tablepoon or two of water.
4. Add the lime juice and mix again.
5. Set aside for 15 minutes.
6. Top with the sliced green chillies.
7. Heat the oil and fry the fenugreek seeds till they pop. Pour this seasoning over the potatoes and serve.
Its absolutely delicious.
PS No time to take a photo...we ate it all up instantly.! <

Project Tiny Preview Package is here!
Project Tiny is a new modular Unity runtime and Editor mode designed to build games and experiences that can load instantly and without install. As of today, it's available as a preview package for Unity 2018.3, called Tiny Mode, via the Package Manager.
Project Tiny gives developers the tools they need to quickly create quality 2D instant games and playable ads that are small in size and have a blazing fast startup on a wide range of mobile devices. Check out Tiny Arms Revenge, an instant game created with Project Tiny. The initial transfer gets the game started in only 969 KB compressed data (162 KB engine, 199 KB game code, 597 KB of art). An additional 861 KB in audio files loads in as the game plays totaling 1.8 MB for the full project.
In Preview
Please note that project Tiny is currently in Preview and is considered an unfinished product until its public release next year. During the Preview period, we are looking for feedback from a broader range of customers to ensure that the feature set, workflows, performance, and stability meet your needs. We plan on a number of iterations between now and the public release and look forward to hearing your feedback to help us improve the product. While you are welcome to use the product in production, please note that Project Tiny is still in Preview and ongoing development can introduce changes and bugs.
Features and functionality
Project Tiny is built using a modular architecture, letting you pick and choose what functionality to include. It uses a pure data-oriented ECS approach which results in high performance with a small code size. The current feature set is focused on building instant 2D games and playable ads. In future releases, additional features will be added to build instant 3D and AR games and experiences. You can find more detailed feature and functionality information on our Solutions page.
Our data-oriented ECS architecture lets us achieve exceptional performance. For example, on an iPhone 6S the Tiny runtime can display 3-4 times as many moving, animated sprites while maintaining 60fps compared to other leading 2D engines that target the web. We also see around 350-600 millisecond engine load times on similar hardware. We achieve this performance by reducing, and in some cases entirely eliminating, engine overhead which leaves more time every frame for your own gameplay logic. Leveraging this properly can allow you to produce richer content, or reach a broader set of devices.
C# support
Unity is working on bringing extremely high performance to C#, such as with our Burst compiler work. We are also working on allowing developers to write C# code while still resulting in small code size. While Project Tiny currently uses Typescript for writing game logic, it will be replaced with C# during the Preview period. With C#, we will be able to produce even smaller codes size and better performance, as well as provide an improved debugging experience. We'll also be able to take advantage of technologies such as Burst, even when targeting the web. It is important to note that we will be removing Typescript once support for C# is ready.
Ready to get started?
Project Tiny is delivered as a package called «Tiny Mode». To install it, open the 2018.3 beta Package Manager, enable Preview Packages, and install Tiny Mode. It can be used with all Unity licenses — Personal, Plus, Pro. You can find the Tiny User Manual, API documentation and sample projects in the preview package download. There is also a playlist of training videos below that will help you get up to speed with Tiny. Visit the forums for more information or to provide feedback. We look forward to hearing what you think!

Would I be right in assuming that you're currently compiling Typescript to JavaScript, and that the long-term plan is to compile C# to WebAssembly?
I can certainly see the benefit in WebASM, but at the same time, having Typescript should make it trivially easy to integrate an app created with Tiny Mode into a broader web platform.
For instance, I'm a language teacher and I'm currently doing a masters in «serious games» with the goal of producing online language learning materials. A Typescript-based Tiny Mode would let me create some really engaging content while still being able to integrate it with industry-standard VLE APIs via free JavaScript modules that implement the standards. And that's not just the education sector; Tiny Mode could bring in a whole pile of additional content creators by filling the gap left by Macromedia Flash in rich web media.
Getting rid of Typescript will mean needing to reimplement all these standards, which would be a lot of work. And yes, I'm sure many of them would end up for sale at Assetstore.unity.com , but going for short-term profit this way is going to push a lot of potential customers away — bringing them in on a quick and easy way of generating .
TLDR: I think keeping Typescript available is definitely the way to go, and further, making sure that it's easy to incorporate external JavaScript modules with a Tiny Mode package could widen your user base rapidly.
I can't install it. It takes forever to install. I even upgrade my OS to windows 10 just for it but it's the same. I spent almost all my time fixing this issue but no avail. shucks
SpacehunterДекабрь 29, 2018 в 5:55 пп
Another vote to keep typescript an alternative option to c#.
ThomasДекабрь 27, 2018 в 12:09 дп
Does this have backwards compatibility with third-party SDKs that support Unity 2018.3?
DavideДекабрь 13, 2018 в 4:25 пп
could it be a good step towards non-game apps in unity? I hope so
hello, i am client developer in korea. many people in korea use typescript for making a game. so i want to be use typescript in Project tiny ! have a nice day~:)

Going full circles… Flash Player all over again.
MichaelДекабрь 10, 2018 в 9:23 пп
Disagree — this fixes the problems with flash player but retains the benefits. It compiles down to JS, and the source is viewable.
Daniel BarcaДекабрь 12, 2018 в 10:13 дп
This is not nearly similar to Flash Player.
Ivan VodopivizДекабрь 10, 2018 в 4:41 пп
Why not keep TypeScript support? At least in the company I work for pushing Unity would be much easier if TypeScript was an option. Moving webdevs to Unity + TS would be a lot easier than Unity + C#.
Eli MoonДекабрь 10, 2018 в 10:12 дп
Very useful project!
Hi ! Great project. Does this build to WebAssembly? Also, does this always try to use the WebAudio API instead of falling back to HTML5 Audio? Just trying to gauge browser support :)
AndreasДекабрь 9, 2018 в 10:51 дп
Seems to be compiling to asm.js and added inline. No WebAssembly here as far as I can tell.
Martin BestДекабрь 9, 2018 в 6:46 пп
For more info in WASM vs asm.js see the following forum link.
Can ugui be used? will ugui ever get improvements treeviews etc? (heh figured I'd ask) good to hear about typescript getting thrown out asap :)
Jesse PascoeДекабрь 6, 2018 в 7:47 пп
Man, I wish full fledged ECS has this much work put into making it easy to use. Trying to learn ECS just feels like a chore, but this has so many nice Editor features to help it looks really great. Can't wait for it to work with C#
MichałДекабрь 11, 2018 в 10:59 дп
Eventualy ECS and project tiny will marge and ECS will get similar editor.
I see that nearly half of that build is because of audio. Will this support tracker audio formats like .xm or .it? Unity does, but in something like this where file size is of high importance, it seems like it would be really helpful.
VanceteДекабрь 6, 2018 в 3:24 пп
Works with 3D or it's limited to 2D? Shaders? I'm thinking more on multimedia web apps than in games actually.
James ArndtДекабрь 6, 2018 в 2:18 пп
Just installed 2018.3 beta, open up Package Manager to install this and it's indefinitely stuck at «Loading Packages». I am not able to load the experimental packages because it never loads them. No errors, just infinite loading.
yololo yololoДекабрь 6, 2018 в 11:46 дп
One more step in direction of Adobe Flash :)
Have you heard wasm that you can compile now many languages like rust cpp c sharp java down to web assembly code and run in browser near native speeds and wasm is open standart in mainstream browsers.
'Tiny Arms Revenge' has very bad button response on android (drag threshold?) and the image scaling is none too pretty, but a step in the right direction
Yeah in Chrome on my S7 it takes about 10 taps to get the Play button to register, so once in the game isn't really playable.
Chad BaconФевраль 3, 2019 в 2:30 дп
I had the same problem with having to press the play button a lot.

And yes, I think you have either option. Open Loop and BoosterPlug being the simplest and getting the AFR to 13.8 to 14.2 depending on fuel and bike tolerances; LC-1 retaining full Closed Loop operation and programming flexibility for a specific AFR target.
When I have some more time, I'm going to run a version of the charts below for Open Loop w/Reset Motronic and Open Loop w/Reset Motronic and BoosterPlug so that there is another baseline for all of this.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
[Please Read This Booklet before Completing Enclosed Report]
Under Public Law 88-352, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, all State and local governments that have 15 or more employees are required to keep records and to make such reports to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as are specified in the regulations of the Commission. The applicable provisions of the law, Section 709(c) of Title VII, and the regulations issued by the Commission are printed in full in the Appendix (4) of these instructions. School systems and educational institutions are covered by other employment surveys and are excluded from EEO-4.
In the interests of consistency, uniformity and economy, State and Local Government Report EEO-4 is being utilized by Federal government agencies that have responsibilities with respect to equal employment opportunity. A joint State and Local Reporting Committee, with which this report must be filed, represents those various Federal agencies. In addition, this report should bring about uniformity in State and local government recordkeeping and reporting and should serve as a valuable tool for use by the political jurisdiction in evaluating their own internal programs for ensuring equal employment opportunity.
As stated above, the filing of Report EEO-4 is required by law; it is not voluntary. Under Section 709 (c) of Title VII, the Attorney General of the United Stated may compel a jurisdiction to file this report by obtaining an order from a United States District Court.
Beginning with the 1993 survey year and biennially (every odd-numbered year) thereafter, those who must file this report include: (1) all States; (2) all other political jurisdictions which have 100 or more employees; and (3) a sample of those political jurisdictions which have 15-99 employees. The sample is rotated biennally, so that none of the smaller jurisdictions will be required to file in consecutive survey years, but all will be required to file in their turn. Sampled jurisdictions will be informed by receipt of the forms that they have been selected to report in a particular survey year.
Every political jurisdiction with 15 or more employees must make and keep records and statistics which would be necessary for the completion of Report EEO-4, as set forth in these instructions. Records must be kept for a period of 3 years. See regulations 1602.30 and 1602.31 in the Appendix(4).
Although the EEO-4 report requires the combining of agency data to complete the report, separate data for each agency must be maintained either by the agency itself or by the office responsible for preparing the EEO-4 report, and should be available upon request to representatives of Federal agencies.
State and local governments must file EEO-4 reports according to the number of full-time employees on the payroll as follows:
(1) File one (1) report which includes all employees in functions performed with fewer than 100 employees.
(2) In addition to (1), file a separate report for each function which has 100 or more employees.
(3) Check each box in section C which represents a function performed by the jurisdiction.
(4) Include a list of any agencies not included in the report with the complete address for those agencies.
File one form for each function listed on page 1 of the form (if that function is performed), for a maximum of 15 forms. Jurisdictions should report only persons on the jurisdiction's payroll.
Blank forms will be sent to a central office for the political jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions where all data are available at a single location, forms may be completed by the central office. Where data are not available centrally, figures should be obtained by the central office from all agencies and aggregated onto the proper forms by functions.
If you file forms for more than one function, a Summary Sheet will be included with your forms. On the Summary Sheet you are requested to check those functions for which you are submitting completed reports; functions for which you are not reporting; and functions for which you will be reporting at a later date. This will facilitate our own recordkeeping, and minimize unnecessary follow-up correspondence. Full-time employment must also be reported on the Summary Sheet.
The Summary Sheet provides for one certification statement as to the accuracy and completeness of the entire report from the jurisdiction. If such certification can be and is made by one official, a separate signature on every form will not be required.
The fact that a branch or agency of a government has separately elected officials, or is autonomous or semi-autonomous in its operations does not affect the legal status of the jurisdiction, nor the requirement that EEO-4 cover the entire jurisdiction. To the extent feasible, the report should cover all branches of the government. In any cases where that is not feasible, and data are not available to the central office of the government, a list of agencies and addresses not included should accompany the report.
Where interstate, intercounty, etc., boards; agencies, commissions, or other type special district governments exist, ONE FORM should be submitted by the headquarters of the special district.
In conclusion, the submitted report must contain the following, submitted in one (1) package:
(1) One (1) SUMMARY SHEET.
(2) The original and one (1) copy of up to 15 reports based on the number of functions performed.
(3) A list of agencies not included in the report but which should have been included in the report, with the complete address for any agency listed.
This biennial report must be filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission no later than the date printed in the accompanying cover letter. Full-time and part-time employment figures should cover the payroll period which includes June 30 of the survey year. New hires data is for the entire fiscal year which ends on June 30th.
The original and one (1) copy of the completed reports (in duplicate) should be forwarded to the address indicated on the EEO-4 form. All request for additional information and report forms should also be directed to that address.
An employer who claims that preparation or the filing of Report EEO-4 would create undue hardships may apply to the Commission for a special reporting procedure. In such cases, the employer must submit in writing a proposal for compiling and reporting information to:
The EEO-4 Coordinator
1801 L Street, N. W.
Washington, D.C. 20507
Only those special procedures approved in writing by the Commission are authorized. Such authorizations remain in effect until notification of cancellation is given or EEOC publishes a change to the survey form.
A computer printout, magnetic tape or diskette is also a special reporting procedure. Only the report formats for those media which are designed and approved by EEOC will be accepted. A copy of those formats with an explanatory memorandum may be acquired from the EEO-4 Coordinator at the above address.
Section 701(f) of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 contains an exemption for elected and certain appointed officials that is set forth in the definition of "employee" in Appendix (1). Based on the legislative history of Section 701 (f), the General Counsel of the Commission has ruled that this exemption was intended by the Congress to be construed narrowly. This ruling concluded that only the following persons would be included in the exemption:
(1) State and local elected officials.
(2) Such official's immediate secretary, administrative, legislative or other immediate or first-line aide.
(3) Such official's legal advisor.
(4) Appointed cabinet officials in the case of a Governor, or heads of executive departments in the case of a mayor or County Council. No other persons appointed by an elected official are exempt under this interpretation. In no case is any person exempt who is appointed by an appointed official, whether or not the latter is exempt. Furthermore, as specified in Section 701 (f), the exemption does not include employees subject to the civil service laws of a State government, governmental agency or political subdivision.
All reports and information from individual reports are subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 709(e) of Title VII, and may not be made public by EEOC prior to the institution of any proceeding under Title VII. However, aggregate data may be made public in a manner so as not to reveal any particular jurisdiction's statistics. Barring prohibitive State or local legislation, a political jurisdiction may make its EEO-4 Report public at any time.
Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to vary from one (1) to five (5) hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed and completing and reviewing the collection of information. A response is defined as one survey form. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to:
The EEOC Clearance Officer
Office of the Financial and Resource
1801 L Street, N. W.
Washington, D.C. 20507
Unless the collection displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number, respondents are not required to fill out this form.
The full text of the new OMB regulations may be found at 5 CFR Part 1320, or Federal Register, vol. 60, no. 167, Tuesday, August 29, 1995, page 44978.
Definitions of Terms and Categories are Located in the Appendix
Check one box indicating type of government.
Indicate the name and central mailing address of the governmental jurisdiction if different from address label in top margin.
Jurisdiction with fewer than 1,000 full- time employees are initially mailed only one form. Report all jurisdiction employees on this form unless you are filing a separate report for a function which has 100 or more employees, in which case a request for additional form(s) must be made. Indicate in Section C of the form which functions are performed by your jurisdiction. On page 4 of the form, list the departments or agencies included on the form by activity function.
Jurisdictions with more than 999 full- time employees are mailed up to 15 forms. Please use a separate form for each function for which you are reporting in accordance with the instructions provided in part 3 of this booklet.
The data should be aggregated for all agencies performing in a particular function. This also applies to unspecified functions which are to be combined in one report for Function 15, "Other". State education agencies, both agencies covering elementary and secondary schools and those covering education, should be included in Function 15.
Where the political jurisdiction is unable to separate data, the agency should be reported under the function that represents its dominant activity. For example, if a transportation department includes among other functions, streets and highways, and two-thirds of the employees of the department are engaged in street and highway activities, those employees should be separated out and reported separately if feasible. If not, the entire department should be reported separately in function 2, Streets and Highways. On page 4 of each function report, list the departments or agencies included in this function. For instance, Function 1 might include: Office of the Tax Collector, Office of the Mayor, Office of the District Attorney, etc.
For purposes of this report, a person is an employee of a political jurisdiction if he or she is on the payroll of that jurisdiction, regardless of the source of the funds by which the person is paid.
(For detailed explanation of job categories and race/ethnic identification, see Appendix.)
Employment data should include total full-time employment except those elected and appointed officials specified in Section 7 above of these instructions. Where employees receive separate salaries or payments from two or more jurisdictions, but work full-time for one jurisdiction, they should be counted as full-time employees by that jurisdiction and to the extent possible their annual salary should reflect their total earnings from all jurisdictions from which they are paid. Also, where a person is a full-time employee of a jurisdiction, but is employed in more than one function, he or she should be reported for the function which accounts for most of the worktime. Trainees should be counted in appropriate columns by job, salary, race/ethnic group, and sex. Every employee must be accounted for in one and only one of the categories. Definitions are included in the Appendix (2).
Employment data should include all employees not included in a full-time matrix, except those specifically exempted (see Section 7, Elected and Appointed Officials.) Where employees are working part-time for different jurisdictions, and are on separate payrolls of different jurisdictions, they should be reported as part-time employees of the separate jurisdictions. Persons on the payroll of the jurisdiction for a specified temporary appointment, such as a public employment program, should be included in this category.
*Total Lines- Report total employment for this matrix, as well as row totals.
Include those employees who were hired during the fiscal year into permanent full-time positions whether or not they terminated employment prior to the end of the fiscal year. New Hires are included in Section D-1 if they were full-time employees at the end of the fiscal year. Total Lines-Report total employment for this matrix, as well as row totals.
Include in this section: (1) the list of your government agencies included in this report, and (2) any remarks, explanations, or other pertinent information regarding this report.
NOTE: List here the National crime Information Center (NCIC) numbers assigned by the U.S. Department of Justice to any criminal justice agencies whose data are included.
Each form must be certified and signed by an official responsible for the information, unless a Summary Sheet has been certified and signed and submitted with the completed forms.
An employer may acquire the race/ethnic information necessary for this section either by visual surveys of the work force, or from post-employment records as to the identity of employees. Since visual surveys are permitted, and the fact that race/ethnic identifications are not present on agency records is not an excuse for failure to provide the data called for. However, although the Commission does not encourage direct inquiry as a method of determining racial or ethnic identity, this method is not prohibited in cases where it has been used in the past, or where other methods are not practical, provided it is not used for purposes of discrimination.
Moreover, the fact that employees may be located at different addresses does not provide an acceptable reason for failure to comply with the reporting requirements. In such cases, it is recommended that visual surveys be conducted for the employer by persons such as supervisors who are responsible for the work of the employees or to whom the employees report for instruction or otherwise.
Please note that the General Counsel of the Commission has ruled, on the basis of court decisions, that the Commission has the authority to require the racial and ethnic identification of employees, regardless of any possible conflicting state or local laws.
The concept of race as used by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission does not denote clearcut scientific definitions of anthropological origins. For the purposes of this report, an employee may be included in the group to which he or she appears to belong, identifies with, or is regarded in the community as belonging. However, no person may be counted in more than one race/ethnic category.
NOTE: The category "HISPANIC", while not a race identification, is included as a separate race/ethnic category because of the employment discrimination often encountered by this group; for this reason do not include HISPANIC under either "white" or "black".
For the purposes of the report, the following race/ethnic categories will be used:
(As Amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972)
Every employer, employment agency, and labor organization subject to this title shall (1) make and keep such records relevant to the determinations of whether unlawful employment practices have been or are being committed, (2) preserve such records for such periods, and (3) make such reports therefrom as the Commission shall prescribe by regulation or order, after public hearing, as reasonable, necessary, or appropriate for the enforcement of this title or the regulations or orders thereunder. The Commission shall, by regulation, require each employer, labor organization, and joint labor-management committee subject to this title which controls an apprenticeship or other training program to maintain such records as are reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose of this title, including, but not limited to, a list of applicants who wish to participate in such programs, including the chronological order in which applications were received, and to furnish to the Commission upon request, a detailed description of the manner in which persons are selected to participate in the apprenticeship or other training program. Any employer, employment agency, labor organization, or joint labor-management committee which believes that the application to it of any regulation or order issued under this section would result in undue hardship may apply to the Commission for an exemption from the application of such regulation or order, and, if such application for an exemption is denied, bring a civil action in the United States district court for the district where such records are kept. If the Commission or the court, as the case may be, finds that the application of the regulation or order to the employer, employment agency, or labor organization in question would impose an undue hardship, the Commission or the court, as the case may be, may grant appropriate relief. If any person required to comply with the provisions of this subsection fails or refuses to do so, the United States district court for the district in which such person is found, resides, or transacts business, shall upon application of the Commission, or the Attorney General in a case involving a government, government agency or political subdivision, have jurisdiction to issue to such person an order requiring him to comply.
§ 1602.30 Records to be made or kept.
On or before September 30, 1974, and annually thereafter, every political jurisdiction with 15 or more employees is required to make or keep records and the information therefrom which are or would be necessary for the completion of report EEO-4 under the circumstances set forth in the instructions thereto, whether or not the political jurisdiction is required to file such report under § 1602.32 of the regulations in this part. The instructions are specifically incorporated therein by reference and have the same force and effect as other sections of this part. Such records and the information therefrom shall be retained at all times for a period of 3 years at the central of the political jurisdiction and shall be made available if requested by an officer, agent, or employee of the Commission under Section 710 of Title VII, as amended. Although agency data are aggregated by functions for purposes of reporting, separate data for each agency must be maintained either by the agency itself or by the office of the political jurisdiction responsible for preparing the EEO-4 form. It is the responsibility of every political jurisdiction to obtain from the Commission or its delegate necessary instructions in order to comply with the requirements of this section.
§ 1602.31 Preservation of records made or kept.
(a) Any personnel or employment record made or kept by a political jurisdiction (including but not necessarily limited to application forms submitted by applicants and other records having to do with hiring, promotion, demotion, transfer, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other terms of compensation, and selection of training or apprenticeship) shall be preserved by the political jurisdiction for a period of 2 years from the date of the making of the record of the personnel action involved, whichever occurs later. In the case of involuntary termination of an employee, the personnel records of the individual terminated shall be kept for period of 2 years from the date of termination. Where a charge of discrimination has been filed, or an action brought by the Attorney General against a political jurisdiction under Title VII, the respondent political jurisdiction shall preserve all personnel records relevant to the charge or action until final disposition of the charge or the action. The term''personnel record relevant to the charge," for example, would include personnel or employment records relating to the person claiming to be aggrieved; and to all other employees holding positions similar to that held or sought by the person claiming to be aggrieved and application forms or test papers completed by an unsuccessful applicant and by all other candidates for the same position as that as for which the person claiming to be aggrieved applied and was rejected. The date of final disposition of the charge or the action means the date of expiration of the statutory period within which a person claiming to be aggrieved may bring an action in a U.S. district court, or where an action is brought against a political jurisdiction either by a person claiming to be aggrieved or by the Attorney General, the date on which such litigation is terminated.
(b) The requirements of this section shall not apply to application forms and other preemployment records of applicants for positions known to applicants to be of a temporary or seasonal nature.
§1602.32 Requirement for filing and preserving copy of report.
On or before September 30, 1993 and biennially thereafter certain political jurisdictions subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, shall file with the Commission or its delegate executed copies of "State and Local Government Information Report EEO-4" in conformity with the directions set forth in the form and accompanying instructions. The political jurisdictions covered by this section are (a) Those which have 100 or more employees, and (b) Those other political jurisdictions which have 15 or more employees from whom the Commission requests the filing of reports.
Every such political jurisdiction shall retain at all times a copy of the most recently filed EEO-4 at the central office of the political jurisdiction for a period of 3 years and shall make the same available if requested by an officer, agent, or employee of the Commission under the authority of Section 710 of Title VII, as amended.
§1602.33 Penalty for making willfully false statements on report.
The making of willfully false statements on report EEO-4, is a violation of the United States Code, Title 18, Section 1001, and is punishable by fine or imprisonment as set forth therein.
§ 1602.34 Commission's remedy for political jurisdiction's failure to file report.
Any political jurisdiction failing or refusing to file report EEO-4 when required to do so may be compelled to file by order of a U.S. district court, upon application of the Attorney General.
§1602.35 Political jurisdiction's exemption from reporting requirements.
If it is claimed the preparation of filing of the report would create undue hardship, the political jurisdiction may apply to the Commission for an exemption from the requirements set forth in this part by submitting to the Commission or its delegate a specific proposal for an alternative reporting system prior to the date on which the report is due.
§ 1602.36 Schools exemption.
The recordkeeping and report-filing requirements of subparts I and J shall not apply to State and local educational institutions or to school districts or school systems or any other educational functions. The previous sentence of this section shall not act to bar jurisdiction which otherwise would attach under § 1602.30.
§ 1602.37 Additional reporting requirements.
The Commission reserves the right to require reports, other than that designated as the "State and Local Government Information Report EEO-4", about the employment practices of individual political jurisdictions or group of political jurisdictions whenever, in its judgment , special supplemental reports are necessary to accomplish the purposes of Title VII. Any system for the requirement of such reports will be established in accordance with the procedures referred to in section 709 (c) of the Title VII and as otherwise prescribed by law.
§ 1602.38 Applicability of State or Local Law.
The requirements imposed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in these regulations, subparts I and J supersede any provisions of State or local law which may conflict with them.

In the run-up to Facebook's initial public offering on Friday, Mark Zuckerberg's post-IPO fortune was forecasted at about $25 billion. After the social-network giant's stock stumbled out of the gate, the share price rose from the $38 set by underwriters to $45.
At that moment, the value of Zuckerberg's 533.8 million shares of Facebook stood at about $24 billion. By the time the stock closed, settling near the opening price, his holdings were worth more like $20.3 billion.
Then, early this morning West Coast time, as Zuck likely recovered from his surprise wedding celebration this weekend, the Facebook CEO and Chairman lost another nearly $2 billion, as the company's share price slipped to the $33 range.

Via the South Bend Tribune and a bunch of folks who emailed me:
You can no longer use MySpace, Facebook or other "social networking sites" at Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library.
Fights, lewd language and cars being blocked in the parking lot by teenagers are among the problems Director Dave Eisen said have plagued the downtown library lately.
He told library board members that adults have complained about not feeling safe at the library. Eisen and his staff believe the teenagers are there to use MySpace, Facebook and other social sites.
Oh boy. This is my hometown library. It saddens me that the space between "social networking sites" to "not feeling safe" seems so short. The article notes the ban is probably working:
It might have worked, as there were few teenagers going to the computer room by 3:30 p.m. Friday, a half hour after it normally begins to fill up. There were few teenagers even coming in to the computer room at the library.
I wonder where the teens will go? Maybe to SJCPL, which has wifi and computers at all locations. I wonder how the library will be perceived in a few years as these young people grow up, graduate Mishawaka High and begin the next chapter of their lives. Will they remember the library later? Will they care about it? If you remember, this is where I got my first library card. Will they bring their kids? Will they rather go to the Panera, Starbucks, Martins Supermarkets (which has free wifi), the Info Commons at IUSB, etc.
Shouldn't the library be participating in offering access to these spaces while actively intervening and educating these digital citizens?
I reminded of Maplewood. It's a similar thing really: locking the doors of the library or blocking access to sites. Are there alternatives? I think there are but it depends so much on the library. I'd take a long look at services to teens at the library. Isn't this a perfect time for engagement and education? I know some libraries have been successful with "Rock my MySpace" classes for teens while parents get "Social Networking & Your Kids" style learning opportunities. I'd love to hear what the teen librarians have done at MPL – have there been classes? Is there a teen advisory board?
I think I have some questions about this ban as well. Are the sites blocked via wifi too? Is it just teens or everyone? I communicate with my students via Facebook and just joined the Dominican group there. Could I check in on my students via Facebook if I happened to be at the library? I'm also wondering about sites like Flickr. What if I was home for a few days and my Comcast went down? Would I be able to upload pics to Flickr at MPL? Or maybe I could just head to Panera. The teens, however, might not have a laptop to take to Panera.
My former employer, the SJCPL is mentioned:
Don Napoli, director of the St. Joseph County Public Library, said the staff there has discussed problems with teenagers but decided to try to get them into the library instead of trying to get them to leave.
"They do cause problems," he said. "But that's life."
Amen. I think my heart would break a little if a library system so progressive as SJCPL banned access to social sites.
I'd love some feedback and inspiration here to help me understand. What has worked for you, TTW readers, when encountering young people who cause "all kinds of disturbances" as Mishawaka Public Library Director David Eisen states. Have you banned and blocked? Have you intervened and educated? Please share.
And if anyone from Mishawaka Public Library can offer more insight, please do.

11 / The Urban Experiencenext theme
For thousands of years cities have been hubs of activity, centers of industry, and places from which new aesthetic trends originate, evolve, and spread. The creative visions of planners, painters, architects, and sculptors have shaped the development of cities around the world. In turn, the urban experience has inspired the creation of artwork depicting aspects of city life.
