I write from the left on politics and policy.
Remember James O'Keefe?
That would be the same James O'Keefe who brought down community organizing and voter registration organization ACORN in his march to becoming a conservative icon for his alleged 'good works'.
Matthew Phelan and Liz Farkas over at Wonkette have broken the story about the first bit of blowback resulting from O'Keefe's brand of 'journalism'.
It seems that the master of the cleverly edited—if highly deceptive—video reel is now being required to pay the sum of $100,000 to Juan Carlos Vera, a one time California employee of ACORN. Mr. Vera had been portrayed by O'Keefe as being a willing participant when O'Keefe and his accomplice, Hanna Giles, proposed smuggling young women into the United States to work as prostitutes.
While Mr. Vera had no idea he was being surreptitiously video taped—which is not surprising given that California law expressly bars the secret recording of one's voice or image—there was also something Mr. O'Keefe did not know until after he released the damaging video of his conversation with Vera for broadcast.
As soon as O'Keefe and his partner-in-crime left the ACORN location, Mr. Vera called the police to report the entire incident. It turns out that Vera had been playing along with O'Keefe in an effort to ensnare O'Keefe and Giles whom Vera believed were in the act of breaking the law by proposing to engage in the importing of young women to become prostitutes.
As part of the settlement, Mr. O'Keefe was required to say that he "regrets any pain" he caused Mr. Vera—although I have some doubts as to whether O'Keefe has been losing any sleep over his illegal behavior and the harm he did to Mr. Vera.
Why might I feel that way?
Because Mr. O'Keefe's lawyer—Los Angeles attorney Michael Madigan—wasted no time in characterizing the $100,000 payment as a "nuisance settlement." Apparently, when releasing videos smearing an innocent man by suggesting he is willing to participate in the flesh trade turns out to do that individual serious damage, it counts as nothing more than a nuisance to Mr. O'Keefe and his attorney.
A report issued by the California Attorney General in 2010 revealed that O'Keefe and Giles were given immunity from prosecution (a serious mistake in my opinion) in exchange for turning over the complete and unedited tapes that O'Keefe shot in Los Angeles, San Francisco and National City where O'Keefe worked his magic on Juan Carlos Vera.
The AG's report highlighted how Mr. O'Keefe edited his videos to appear as if he was engaging in his ACORN hi-jinks wearing "stereotypical 1970's pimp garb", the intent being to suggest that ACORN employees would willingly do business with someone dressed in this manner. However, it turns out that O'Keefe was actually wearing a coat and tie when he entered the ACORN offices. The report also stated that ACORN employees "may be able to bring a private suit against O'Keefe and Giles for recording a confidential conversation."
Here's hoping that Mr. Vera is but the first of many to take advantage of the opportunity to bring such a legal action.
Oddly, a Google scan revealed no coverage of the settlement in Breitbart.com or any of the other conservative media who so enjoyed Mr. O'Keefe's exploits.
Go figure.
Contract Rick at firstname.lastname@example.com and follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
Sue him some more, and then sue him some more.
why some people don't like the truth is beyond deranged. He exposes the truth and why he should pay for it is sick.
I hope they come out of the woods and sue him
I find such actions taken against individuals trying to support a community organization is reprehensible. I had minimal doubt the whole piece of idiocy was staged. What bothers me most is the willingness of these people to engage in such unlawful and unethical activities to prevent the execution of a local populaces' choices.
does this mean that ACORN is coming back? nope! : )
Don't worry about it James! Keep fighting the good fight! The US needs people like you to root out the dirtbags.
Rick Ungar could care less about the ACORN employees who were caught in the act and were not pretending. Of course in Rick Ungar's world the unicorn herd keeps running as long as other people feed it. Rick's umbrage at the surreptious recording is pretty funny considering every liberal in teh country loved it when Mitt Romney's remarks were taken out of context about the 47% after being taped secretly. But all is fair in love and war.
Here's a snippet from the New York Times who concedes ACORN may have been caught in a questionable manner but to blame it on O'Keefe is disingenuous. Rick Ungar continues to be consummate unicorn herd master and trail boss. "Move 'em out!"
The videos were heavily edited. The sequence of some conversations was changed. Some workers seemed concerned for Giles, one advising her to get legal help. In two cities, Acorn workers called the police. But the most damning words match the transcripts and the audio, and do not seem out of context. Harshbarger's report to Acorn found no "pattern of illegal conduct" by its employees. But, he told me: "They said what they said. There's no way to make this look good."
Does the fact that you wrote a piece delighting in the hidden taping of Mitt Romney not strike you as a bit hypocritical? Here's a link to the article that you wrote: http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2012/09/17/romney-fail-caught-on-video-revealing-extraordinary-contempt-for-47-percent-of-americans/
Hello Ricky,
And you wouldn't know anything about smears, would you, Reichy:
"If the GOP Senate Minority Leader were to grab a Senate page and threaten to kill the innocent victim if the Democrats refused to capitulate to the party's demands on tax cuts, we would all quickly arrive at the conclusion that the Minority Leader had lost his mind and gone too far. We simply, under no circumstances, will not tolerate threatening someone's life in order to get what you want.
"Yet, by playing with the denial of the only economic lifeline left to millions of unemployed, this is precisely what the GOP is doing."
"With the hostage-taking tactic having worked so well, the Republicans have decided to do it again," Ungar lamented in his December 6 post. "This time, it's our senior citizens who are about to be duct taped, gagged and tied to their wheelchairs."
Ungar then hinted that the GOP were Nazi-like by foisting a Sophie's Choice-like scenario on President Obama regarding the Medicare "Doctor Fix"
This is why socialists are the intellectual morons of the world.
Hello Reichy,
First off, the guy's name is Vera, not Vega, the mention of which leads me to believe you may have fallen asleep drunk while watching a rerun of Contact.
Okeefe didn't fire Vera, and he certainly didn't 'get' him fired. That is libel and you should apologize to Okeefe. Second, did Vera say what Okeefe said he did? Was Okeefe violating the law by recording his conversation with a public official on public property in a public office where there is no expectation of privacy? The rest of the piece was solid and great investigative work.
Now, I don't know the subsequent circumstances that lead to police involvement and the airing of the conversation. Nor do you because you weren't at the trial, and you clearly cannot get the guy's name right. But Vera's reaction was not altogether different from the reaction elicited from the other Acorn dolts on the questions of prostitution. And how the hell would Okeefe know Vera contacted the police? It's a bit of a circus.
But the Liberal media such as yourself do daily far worse, repeatedly and deliberately. ABC News is involved in a major scandal with damages in the $billions. NBC News lied about Zimmerman, deliberately altering a phone conversation to turn him into a racist. And none of the media organizations can be bothered to ask where the Chavez' best friend was on Benghazi night when 4 US citizens died.
But you can devote an entire page to a little side issue in an otherwise great effort of investigative journalism.
And here is your maniacal hypothetical at work…
"Yet, by playing with the denial of the only economic lifeline left to millions of unemployed, this is precisely what the GOP is doing."
That is not a hypothetical. Now in your pathetic leftist mind, it might be.
But its pretty clear what the accusation is.
And why would the GOP resist efforts on such financial questions?
Because government in managing the taxpayers' money is so cautious and prudent, so protective against squander and corruption? Why should anyone ever fear that the great and wealthy environs of Washington, DC would put that money to ill purpose? Whatever government does, it is always beneficial for the people it serves. Whatever a Democrat proposes is invariably salutary for the nation that it should never be questioned.
Only in your deranged mind is a money bill not to be questioned. Those leftist dunces in Washington will not hesitate to point their ignorant financial fingers at everyone, but themselves. Detroits do not happen. Nor Chicagos, nor New Yorks. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are well. There is no government malfeasance for a leftist malcontent or journalist.
That is your despicable and feeble leftist doctrine, replete with sublime tolerance and compassion for all save those who disagree with you. The same with Obamacare, and Medicaid, etc. All money spent well, generously, and fittingly with never a fraud or suspicion.
Please do explain what you meant by a Sophie's Choice then. If devoid of any Nazi like influence or thought, then explain it as you meant it.
And a smear is only legitimate if applied to a person! Are you living in another deranged leftist fantasy?
It seems you are in great need of elementary learning, pal!
a usually unsubstantiated charge or accusation against a person or organization —often used attributively
Its nice to the see the leftists such as yourself keeping to form in making up things as they go along in their wretched lives being the great parasites that they are. Just alter reality to make one'a argument more appealing and concrete. Wave the magic wand, and Rick Ungar is made truthful again. What a clown!
The President and US Government certainly did not hesitate in dropping a bomb on American citizens not on US soil. And the question as posed discussed the Constitutionality of the matter. And why did it take Holder so long to utter the negative! The disparagement fell to those who could not answer a simple question with an obvious answer. It was not contained in anything uttered by Ted Cruz.
It didn't take me long to search. The effort required about 5 minutes. And from your obtuse and rambling language, there is sure to be plenty more of such golden Ungarisms. As we can all see, you are a great defender of the speech of others and so acutely tolerant. And your depth of understanding would make Stalin or Chavez weep with envy. Why would anyone accuse the impartial and dispassionate Ungar of unfair attributions when your works are clearly bereft of them.
From previous: "This time, it's our senior citizens who are about to be duct taped, gagged and tied to their wheelchairs."
I see what you mean. Now I do know where a Nazi regime, a Communist regime, a Kim Jong Il regime, and a Chavez regime springs from, which is big, ruthless, awkward, freedom crushing, and dictatorial government. Seen any lately!
I know why little revolutionaries like Bill Ayers run around bombing banks. These mental children have little ability to make their absurd voices heard, so in frustration they rely upon bestial tactics to enforce their dictates. Obama and the Democrats are very good at it. You will not find these people among tea party members, who seek less government, lower taxes, and more freedom. You will find them among your brethren at the now defunct Occupy Wall Street crowd.
My name is Gary Marshall. Had you bothered to look at my numerous posts, you would have found it quickly. I post often and most everyone knows me, so now I just use mainly GM.
And you, Ungar, like most parasites, love big government and all its sordid ills. You love to take from the productive class and enslave it, to reward those people just like you. To take from the genius and industrious to enrich the socialist dunce. That's all you know, and it seems that is all you shall ever know.
Get it, moron!
since when is telling the truth or exposing corruption is a crime?
yes you are a liberal loser. 23 million unemployed thanks to the messiah and the gop is to blame? Only country I know that has open borders and gives them welfare, food stamps, medicaide, our jobs and a voters card. Only country I know that forces taxpayers to support all of it. I'm a many year swingvoting democrat who leans far right to the conservative side because i'm sick of paying for illegals, Obama phones, obamacare for the lazy arses. I'm sick of paying for their unemployment for 3 years also. Seems like the only people that pan out are our elected officials who feasts on bills to steal more tax $$ out of us while they enjoy the life of riley. Bush vacations were equivalent to Camp david. 20 minutes away by helicopter. Bring back Bush and his wonderful manners while this crapo and his bendover stooges eat crap.
Funny. So the fact that O'Keefe's scenario, which SHOULD have resulted in phone calls to cops by ALL FIVE of the ACORN offices, results in ONE call to the cops by ACORN representatives, is somehow significant to you? That O'Keefe had to pay a nuisance defamation suit — because he had no way of knowing in the one case they DID call the cops, but no one contacted O'Keefe as a result of it (thus allowing him to refrain from posting the video which admittedly made Vera look bad) is more significant to you than the FIVE ACORN reps in the other four locations who did not only not call the cops, but in at least one case actually offered advice to them on how to avoid prosecution and the attention from authorities…
There's a term for this — it's called "Attack the messenger". Logically, it's called "Ad Hominem".
And in no way does it say much negative about O'Keefe, nor much positive about ACORN. I see no reason not to presume O'Keefe would likely have pulled the Vera segment had he known that Vera called the police. And, short of the police contacting O'Keefe via whatever contact info he may have given to ACORN reps, there's admittedly no way for him to have known. So clearly, he made an error in this, in that he apparently didn't have a means to detect if the ACORN reps did call the cops after he left. So unless you're claiming that ACORN reps did, in all five cases, contact the police, it seems as though your entire hit piece borders on irrelevant to this entire matter.
O'Keefe made one error in the design of his sting, and as a result it failed in ONE of FIVE cases.
The real question one must ask is — what led O'Keefe to believe that this sting WOULD WORK AT ALL? One has to suspect it was because he'd heard of other instances of ACORN corruption that were quite egregious prior, or there's really no reason to think this would result in anything but someone calling the police… probably when they were in the office (which is really how Vera should have handled it)
Does this mean it's illegal to videotape law enforcement officers who are using excessive force unless the officer agrees to it?
Great question!
Lakeisha, you can openly record police officers using excessive force, or not using excessive force, or whatever you happen to see them doing. Recording a police officer isn't a crime. They are public servants and courts have held that they have no expectation of privacy during the performance of their duties.
"Oddly, a Google scan revealed no coverage of the settlement in Breitbart.com or any of the other conservative media who so enjoyed Mr. O'Keefe's exploits."
Perhaps even odder, the link you included in that sentence took me to a Forbes article about the evolution of Google. (or maybe Google's logo, I didn't read very much of it)
Beyond that, as of a few days ago, neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post had covered this supposed settlement, either, that I could find. I would have though Suzi Parker, at least, would have been all over it.
I start to wonder if this settlement actually happened. When the only place you hear about something is in 'Daily KOS', 'Crooks & Liars', and similar places, and everyone is quoting each other, I really start to wonder.
Well, then maybe someone (or some thing) inserted the link later, I guess.
"Oddly, a Google scan rev"
It is there. (still)
Follow up:
Google search (here) lists a lot of standard issue left wing blogs (including this one) and the LA Times. I went four pages in and never found the Washington Post. (I also note you didn't list the NY Times as covering this teapot tempest. Seems an odd one to leave out.)
Checked your link. Looks like the Washington Post 'covered' this only on the Opinion page. (and I suspect only on-line, not in the print edition). And once again, Wemple's post is mostly a rehash of the Wonkette post that you rehashed for this article.
I'm not sure what 'conspiracy' you're worrying about this week, so I'll just note that the money seems to be for the illegal taping, not for exposing ACORN. Kind of like a burglar suing the homeowner who shot him, or a pimp suing the dude who filmed him beating one of his girls.
Rick, honey, it's been fun, but I think it is time to call it a day.
PS: Rick, I noticed a whole lot of your comments 'called out' as significant (or whatever the calling out is supposed to mean). Is that something you control, or can anyone call out your comments?
In light of the recent IRS "scandal," can we confirm that O'Keefe's Project Veritas remains a non-profit organization awarded by the IRS in April, 2011?
Sue the idiot for everything he has… he is a deceptive, manipulative, lying sack of $#% who needs to be held accountable for the harm he causes!
Exposing the truth comes with consequences in this screwed up country we live in. What about the corruption in government liars who continually lie to the American people without consequences?
Conservative media yawns… exactly. Guess they learned that from the Liberal media who outright snores while justice perishes.

Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.

Very Delicious!!! I have baked this cake twice now and I followed the recipe exactly the first time and everyone that has tasted has really liked it. The cake texture is very different than the ususal cake. It is heavy but very moist and not very sweet. The secnd one I baked I forgot to put in the vanilla (not noticeble)and I added 1 c of walnuts. I also used the cream cheese frosting and oh my!! it was delicious!!
I made this with some modifications, since I didn't have a 9x13 loaf pan (had that size in a cake pan, but not loaf): used a bundt cake pan and baked for 40-45 mins at 375. Turned out moist, but heavy. Next time, will only use 1 tsp vanilla (didn't need 2 tsp, felt it was overpowering). Overall, it's a good recipe...especially if you have persimmons that need to be used!
I was expecting something a bit more like a spiced and dry christmas cake but this came out really nice and moist (hate this word, but its the right word). Made this recipe as is, but instead of cream cheese frosting I made a simple lemon juice and powdered sugar glaze. Will make again with any leftover persimmons.

By GARY POPP
CLARK COUNTY — Clark County residents can expect a new chief prosecutor to be elected next year.
Clark County Prosecutor Steve Stewart has recently said that he will not seek reelection in the 2014 election.
Stewart has served as the prosecutor in Clark County since 1989 and is the longest-serving prosecuting attorney in the county's history.
Those vying to fill his seat include Clark County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Mull, who is running as a Republican, and Clark County Democratic Party chairman and attorney Bob Bottorff.
Bottorff, a Clark County native, said he would build on the office's relationship with members of area law enforcement agencies and implement a training program for the staff of deputy prosecutors.
Bottorff served as a prosecuting attorney in Clark County from 2006 to early 2009. He took the job under Stewart after working three years as a prosecuting attorney in St. Joseph County in Northern Indiana.
He said his experience working in two different prosecutor's offices has given him a unique perspective that he would draw from as Clark County prosecutor.
"Having worked in two different offices, it gives me an idea of things that worked in one and didn't work in another," he said.
As a prosecuting attorney, Bottorff has had experience prosecuting low-level misdemeanors, domestic violence, sex abuse and drug-related crimes.
"You have to have that experience in doing a criminal case and a working criminal case and multiple varieties of criminal cases. You have got to have that experience to properly analyze a criminal matter, whether or not it is a matter you have to prosecute really vigorously, or something you shouldn't be spending the public resources on," he said.
Bottorff has been employed with Jeffersonville law firm Applegate, Fifer & Pulliam since leaving the Clark County prosecutor's office.
He said he works primarily in real estate litigation and only rarely in criminal cases, but said in his current position he has continued to learn skills he can use as the county prosecutor.
Those skills, he said, include managing human resources, something he feels is crucial to successfully serving the residents of Clark County as prosecutor.
"Obviously, having the experience of being in the trenches for a number of years as a deputy prosecuting attorney, I think that really helps you know what you have to do to in managing the office, for one thing, because first and foremost that is what the role of the prosecuting attorney is, is properly managing your human resources there," Bottorff said.
He would start, he said, by implementing training programs for his deputy prosecutors and area lawmen.
"I think it is imperative that you have a pretty solid training program for your folks, and, coupled with that, training programs for the police officers because if they don't understand what is necessary to try a good case then you are never going to get good police reports submitted."
Bottorff said the prosecutor's office benefits from working with the officers who take the initial police report, carry out the processes of collecting evidence and statements from witnesses and lay the foundation for prosecutors who handle the cases.
"To me, it is a better use of public resources to have a training program in place where my deputy prosecutors are getting trained to know what is a good case and what is a bad case, and when it is a good case and you have to take it to trial, this is how you try it," Bottorff said. "Now, [in Clark County], I haven't seen that. Part of that is there is just a lack of funding, for right or wrong."
However, he said some programs have been put in place to give the Office of the Clark County Prosecutor some additional financial padding. He said those programs include pretrial diversion and infraction deferral.
He said a more efficient prosecutor's office will result from having the training programs in place.
"The law enforcement community and the prosecutor's office are working hand in hand, and, ultimately, it saves everybody tax payers' dollars to do that correctly," Bottorff said.
He said through training, less experienced prosecutors would become more adept at knowing which people should be charged and which cases should be taken to trial.
"You've got to know how to train you deputies to do that," he said. "You have to set policies in the office to make sure that is getting done effectively. That is what I think I can bring to the table, is making sure these policies are in place and setting forth those policies so that the people that really need to get charged, get charged, are and those that don't, don't."
As an attorney with Applegate, Fifer & Pulliam, Bottorff said he also has learned skills not often possessed by those with only criminal litigation experience.
"Having the experience in the civil practice, it has given me a really good understanding of the appeals process that I don't think you ever really [receive] as a deputy prosecuting attorney, and it does give you an idea of what you do need to be looking at for appeals and making sure your cases are solid and moving forward."
He said his background of briefing appeals has given him knowledge to help save tax dollars if elected prosecutor.
"I don't want to waste time and waste money of the public," Bottorff said. "I want to make sure we are prosecuting individuals that need to be prosecuted and we are not prosecuting people that shouldn't be because you have to make that decision as a prosecutor."
Bottorff said as prosecutor, he would also have to contend with the steady flow of offenders booked into the Michael L. Becher Adult Correctional Complex.
"This is another issued of public resources, and how you spend those resources," he said. "The problem is every case that you have is different."
He said each new offender must be treated on a case-by-case basis. He said polices must be continued, and possibly adjusted, to determine if that person is a likely to flee before a subsequent court hearing or is a possible risk to the community.
"The way to really impact the jail population is to move the cases along more effectively and more quickly," he said. "I think you will find the vast majority of people that are in the jail are pretrial, meaning that they are awaiting trial. If you are effectively managing your human resources and you are effectively moving your case load along, that is going to have a direct impact on the jail population."
He said as prosecutor he would also take steps to modify currently policies to make cases move quickly and smoothly.
"For every person that is sitting there [in jail] awaiting trail, that is money that is being paid out in the county and it is a liability concern. It is a major expense for us as a county. I will strive to make sure we are moving those cases along," he said. "A lot of arrests get made, and I don't know that you can impact the arrests that are made, but you can impact the processing of those arrests once they are made."
Bottorff also commented on his stance toward those offenders who fail to make court-issued child support payments, an issue, he said, that can affect an entire community.
"It is the role of the prosecutor to go after folks that are not paying their child support," he said. "Ultimately, that causes a major burden for the rest of the people in society and, in particular, in Clark County."
He said if single parents are not receiving the resources they need to properly raise their children, it results in the allocation of public entitlements to those families.
"If you are not getting enough support from the person that is responsible for this child then you are going to have those public funds coming out," he said. "The other side of it, too, is that there is just something inherently wrong with not taking responsibility for your actions."
He said when those who violate child-support mandates are not held accountable, it is the community that pays.
"The issues that stem from child support often times lead to the bigger criminal cases," he said. "You have kids that are not getting proper support for care and ultimately that leads sometimes to criminal activity, period."
Bottorff said whoever is elected the next county prosecutor, he or she will be working with a limited pool of resources, but feels with his array of legal experience he can best use those resources to serve the people of Clark County.

Welcome to Residence Life at Flagler College. As you begin to imagine your first year at a college, you're probably thinking about what you might major in, what your classes will be like, what people you will meet. We hope that now you can start to imagine the place you will be calling home. Living on campus is an essential part of the total college experience and you are our primary focus.
As a part of the Residence Life Program you will be part of a community of learners who want you to succeed, both academically and personally. We desire for you to be able to look back on your time in the Residence Halls with fond memories of success – great friends, amazing experiences, and of course stellar grades. We believe that learning in the classroom is just the beginning and that by taking full advantage of all the Residence Life Program has to offer you will grow to become a leader in the world beyond campus.
If you are ready to start the journey to Live, Learn, and Grow with Residence Life at Flagler College, please explore our page and learn more about what we have to offer. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have. Go Saints!!
The Housing Office uses your Application for Student Housing (that came with your Offer of Admission Letter) to assign a compatible roommate. If you have a specific roommate request, both students need to fill out and submit the form below.
While we understand that everyone is excited about seeing their new residence hall room, we are unable to show students their specific rooms over the summer. During the summer a variety of summer camps are housed in the residence halls. Outside of that time maintenance and cleaning must take place to prepare the halls for your arrival.
The assignment process matches up students in accordance to gender, hobbies and other requested information. Many aspects play into the assignment process such as: date of deposit, class standing, and availability of space.
Just a reminder: Room assignments will not be based on a student's race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, veteran status, or sexual orientation.
After a student is assigned to housing during the summer months room changes will not be allowed. The reason behind this is because throughout the entire summer our department is constantly consolidating spaces to allow for the most occupancy upon the demand.
Once the semester has begun, after a 2 week holding period, students can speak with their current roommates and with their Resident Advisors about the steps to making a room change if desired.
As a new freshman to Flagler College, you will live in one of three Residence Halls. Women will live in Ponce Hall on the Lobby, 1st, or 2nd floors. Men will live in either Lewis House or Cedar Hall. We at Flagler College strive to encourage the freshmen experience, so we keep these areas freshmen-only to the best of our ability. This allows the Resident Advisors to directly facilitate acclimating new freshmen to the campus and suit their unique and diverse needs.
If you are having a difficulties with your roommate(s) please contact your Resident Advisor or the Residence Life Office to discuss mediation procedures. Please remember the demand for housing is high, just moving a student out of a room is not always possible.
Once the semester has begun, after a 2 week holding period, students can speak with their current roommates and with their Resident Advisors about the steps to making a room change if desired.
A Roommate Agreement is an agreement made between roommates about different responsibilities and needs from each roommate in the room. It can specify cleaning schedules, sleep schedules, or needs regarding lights and music in the room while studying.
Residence Life highly encourages all residents to fill out a Roommate Agreement. They are available through your Resident Advisor or on our website and once they are filled out, one copy will be kept on file with your Resident Advisor and one will be posted visibly in your room.
No. All College issued furniture must stay in the room. Students cannot move any item out of the room or building. Moving furniture from the lounges into a residential room is also prohibited.
Yes. Students who wish to have a refrigerator may rent one from the College on a first-come first-served basis. No other refrigerators or microwaves may be brought into the residence halls.
Students are allowed to use sticky-tack to attach posters or other wall hangings to the walls. Other adhesive products or push-pins are not permitted on the walls or ceilings of the room. Most rooms have a tack-strip (a strip of wood offset from the wall) where students are permitted to place push-pins or nails.
Painting the walls or doors of the room is not permitted.
No. Flagler College buildings are smoke free.
You and your roommate are responsible for the cleanliness of your room and bathroom. The residence hall custodians are responsible for cleaning corridor areas.
There are periodic Health and Safety inspections performed throughout the semester performed by the Resident Advisors to ensure the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms. Residents are highly encouraged to fill out the Roommate Agreement form and to make a cleaning schedule with their roommates based on their needs.
No. If you wish to have cable service in your room please use the contact information below to subscribe. Due to the nature of the buildings on campus all cable subscriptions must be made through the Comcast/Flagler College liaison. All cable connections will be made prior to move-in day when Comcast cable will be on campus to hand out cable boxes. If you do not subscribe to cable prior to move-in day, the next chance to subscribe to cable will be the spring semester. Comcast has specific representatives assigned to manage Flagler College accounts. Representatives contact information is sent out as a part of the Student Services summer mailing. You must go through the Flagler College representatives to receive the special cable promotion and installation rate. Cable boxes must be returned to Comcast by the students at the end of the year.
Fish in a tank of 10 gallons or less are the only pets permitted in the Residence Halls.
This category does not extend to turtles, crabs, water lizards, snakes, etc. These and all other pets other than fish are prohibited at all times in the Residence Halls.
Many instruments are allowed, however drum sets and amplification systems are prohibited from the Residence Halls.
Small to medium sized stereos and boom boxes are permitted, although residents should review the Roommate Bill of Rights when deciding which types of musical instruments or music playing devices with them into the Residence Halls.
Freshmen at Flagler College are required to live on campus for their first full academic year. Moving off campus is not permitted unless there are extenuating circumstances which will be reviewed by the Dean of Student Services. Additionally, all housing contracts that begin during the Fall Semester are binding for the full academic year, including both the Fall and Spring Semester.
Flagler College is partnered with the City of St. Augustine Police Department. At least one officer is assigned to monitor the campus every night from 6 PM – 6 AM. Officers also show their presence throughout the day and have direct contact with Flagler College security.
Security is present on campus 24/7. Their main office is located in Ponce Hall, though they have desk stations in every building on campus. They do periodic patrols of the campus grounds as well as inside the campus buildings, including Residence Halls.
Facilities Maintenance requests can be accessed from the my.flagler.edu portal on the main home page or the Residence Life Current Students page.
Flagler College is in the heart of downtown, St. Augustine's historic district. Within walking distance from campus, there are small shops, museums, casual and fine dining, St. Augustine tourism, recreation, and movies.
Across the bridge on Anastasia Island, there are skate parks, local attractions such as the Alligator Farm, state parks with camping facilities, and multiple casual and fine dining establishments. The campus is about 5 miles from St. Augustine Beach which provides safe and clean spots for surfing or fishing.
The campus is centrally located to shopping at the St. Augustine Outlet Malls, Publix, WinnDixie, Target, WalMart, Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc. We are about a 45 minute drive from Jacksonville, FL.
Flagler College Security offers a shuttle operating from 6 PM – 6 AM that runs between residence halls and the parking garage.
The City of St. Augustine has the Sunshine Bus which runs daily from the southern-most point of St. Augustine up into Jacksonville. For more information about the Sunshine Bus including a map and schedule please visit their website www.sunshinebus.net.

Obviously we believe that all of our policies are important; however, there are a few policies that we would like to call special attention to. These policies are instrumental in helping to create the environment and community that we strive for and hope that everyone will be familiar with them prior to arrival on campus.
The use or possession of alcoholic beverages on the campus by students or their guests is prohibited and is grounds for suspension from the College. Students are expected to comply with municipal, state and federal laws pertaining to the possession and use of alcoholic beverages off campus. Incidents of intoxication and/or misconduct involving the consumption of alcoholic beverages are subject to College disciplinary action regardless of the location of such incidents. Alcoholic beverage containers, including shot glasses, and bottle caps in the residence halls and in automobiles are in conflict with the College's policy prohibiting consumption of alcohol on campus. When such containers are found in the residence halls or in the automobile, it will be assumed that the alcohol was consumed on the campus, and the students involved will be charged with possession of alcohol. Physical evidence of any container of an alcoholic beverage (whether empty, full or partially full) will constitute sufficient evidence to find a student (or students) of a room (or suite) or automobile guilty of possession of alcoholic beverages on campus.
Students found guilty of driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages (DUI) are subject to suspension. In the case of formal charges filed by a law enforcement agency, the College is not required to await legal adjudication of the case. If deemed advisable, the College may proceed with a disciplinary hearing on the basis of the evidence available.
College policy does not permit inter-hall visitation. Students are not allowed to visit the rooms or the halls of the opposite sex. Students who violate this regulation are subject to disciplinary action. In the event of a violation of this regulation all parties involved, occupants and visitors, are held responsible.
In accordance with Flagler College's commitment to academic excellence and the belief that the use of mind-altering drugs leads to impaired judgment and reduced achievement, the possession or use of any illegal drug is prohibited. No student may be in possession of, deliver, dispense, distribute, administer, manufacture or wholesale any controlled substance, including marijuana, narcotics, hallucinogens, and other chemical analog or drug-related paraphernalia. Any student who violates this regulation is subject to immediate suspension, dismissal or expulsion from Flagler College.
Students who wish to have a refrigerator or microwave must rent a microfridge from Student Services on a first-come, first-served basis. No other refrigerators may be brought into the residence halls.
All new incoming freshmen must reside on campus, unless they live locally with their parents or are over 20 years of age. Transfer students who have completed less than 24 semester hours of credit are also required to live on campus. For students who enroll for the fall term, housing contracts are for the full academic year; thus, the student is responsible for the yearly room charges. Exceptions to this policy are students who will complete their degree requirements at the end of the fall semester; students who are dismissed from the College for academic or disciplinary reasons; students who are interning away or in a study abroad program; or students who choose not to return to the College for the spring semester. Students entering Flagler in January will contract for housing for the spring term only. Readmitted, for whatever reason (return from study abroad, dismissal), students are required to have permission of the Dean of Student Services for residing on campus.
Skateboards and roller skates/blades are strictly prohibited from being used anywhere on the College campus. This includes wearing rollerblades or skates while leaving or entering a college building. The City of St. Augustine, by way of a city ordinance, also prohibits the use of these items on its streets and sidewalks. Riding bicycles on campus is also prohibited.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg questions whether she could be picked today for the U.S. Supreme Court, given the polarization in Congress, she told a law school audience Friday afternoon.
"Frankly, I wonder if a president would even nominate me today, considering my long affiliation with the American Civil Liberties Union," Ginsburg told several hundred students and professors at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in downtown San Diego.
"I hope one day we will get back to the system when I was nominated and Justice Stephen Breyer was nominated," the justice told a question and answer session at the 13th annual Women and the Law conference titled "Her Honor: Women in the Judiciary."
"I hope people see that the way we are heading now is wrong. We should reverse it and go back to the way it was when there was bipartisan support of the president's nominee."
She noted that Southern conservative Strom Thurmond voted for her nomination even though he had opposed her two years earlier when she was named to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Ginsburg, who turns 80 in March, praised former President Jimmy Carter for his efforts to change the "complexion of the judiciary."
After Carter commented that he looked at judges and thought they all looked like him, he added minorities and women to the district courts and courts of appeal, she said during 75-minute forum.
Calling the current Supreme Court a "very lively bench," she said her sisters on the court are "not shrinking violets. They are active participants."
She joked: "I do think that Justice (Sonia) Sotomayor is in competition with Justice (Antonin) Scalia to see who can ask the most questions."
Speaking about women's issues, Ginsburg told the young law students, "The [Equal Rights Amendment] was a very important symbol, and I hope one day that it will become part of the Constitution" because "there is no statement that men and women are of equal stature under the law."
In a third-floor lecture room, she related stories about historical discrimination against women in work and military settings.
Ginsburg—the second woman on the Supreme Court after Sandra Day O'Connor—said "explicit gender-based discrimination is gone," but she spoke of an AT&T discrimination case in the 1970s in which men hired other men because "they were comfortable with someone who looked like them. They trusted that person."
"This unconscious bias is harder to overcome," she said.
"It belongs in the Constitution," Ginsburg said of the ERA. "It is a value that is as fundamental as the ones that are already inscribed."
Asked if she thought court deliberations and decisions were different now with three women on the bench, she quoted a former justice: "At the end of the day, wise old men and wise old women will reach the same judgments."
But Ginsburg added that each justice adds his and her life experiences—such as growing up female—that can help colleagues understand differences.
She recalled a case several years ago involving a 16-year-old girl who was suspected of having drugs and was strip-searched in a girls locker room.
"Several of my colleagues made light of it," she said. The male justices recalled changing clothes in the locker room without a thought.
"I spoke about the embarrassment that this would cause in a girl," Ginsburg recounted. "And suddenly the jokes stopped and they took it seriously."
Ginsburg called this term an important one for the high court, mentioning the cases including a challenge to the Voting Rights Act, one dealing with DNA samples taken from everyone arrested, Proposition 8 on California's ban on same-sex marriage and another case involving the Defense of Marriage Act.
A law student who attended President Barack Obama's second inauguration spoke about an abortion protester in a tree who screamed loudly, making it difficult for those around him to hear the event.
The student asked whether the man's outbursts were protected under the First Amendment.
Ginsburg first joked that she didn't hear the protester because she was seated in another area, but then said: "I am glad that we prize speech; we protect even the speech we don't like."
Ginsburg said the Supreme Court is a venue for numerous protests, adding that while Justice Elena Kagan has a "front-row seat on all protests," Ginsburg's chambers are in the rear of the building.
"As long as they aren't endangering anyone's safety, I hope that we will continue to preserve their right to speech that we don't like," said the justice since 1993.
Asked if she had any unfinished business, the justice said she doesn't intend to write her own book.
"There will be a lot written about me, like it or not–mostly not," she said with a smile.
After the session, Ginsburg talked about Justice Sotomayor's new book.
In a separate Patch interview, Ginsburg called the biography a "real page turner. I hope that it will be widely read. It's a great-written story."
She said she is a third of the way through the book and thinks it's "wonderful."
Asked by a law school official about her dissent in the 2010 Citizens United campaign finance ruling, Ginsburg said it was a "very wrong decision" that may be overturned by a future court.
"As a great man once said, 'It's not over until it's over.'"
She later told Patch such a ruling was more likely than a constitutional amendment since such changes to the Constitution are "powerfully hard" to get approved.
A student asked her opinion about cameras in the courtroom, and the justice said that if proceedings were televised, "it would give people the wrong impression of the appellate process, which is mostly writing" and justices trying to persuade each other.
"They will see two lawyers and think the most able advocate will win. That's not the way it works."
Ginsburg, who earlier spoke at the U.S. Grant Hotel to the San Diego Association of Business Trial Lawyers, called being a justice the "best and hardest job I ever had."
"It's not as easy as it once was," but added she will remain a justice "as long as I am able to do it."

HOCKING COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A Northeast Ohio man is facing sexual assault charges after authorities say he brought a male juvenile to a cabin in the Hocking Hills.
According to Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, Jason Sams, of Ashtabula County, brought the juvenile to Hocking County back in March.
A witness called the Hocking County Sheriff's Office after seeing what he thought was illegal conduct.
WOUB reports that Investigators obtained a search warrant for Sams' North Kingsville home and computer for evidence. Several boxes of potential evidence has been removed from the home.
Sams was arrested in North Kingsville Wednesday morning.
Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North told WOUB that anyone who may have seen or rented any of their properties to Sams is encouraged to contact the Hocking County Sheriff's Office.
DeWine says it's possible there are more victims in the case.

Blame the person
When I learned of the stabbings that took place at a Texas college campus I realized that all societies have come to accept the fact that tragedies do exist. Then I wondered when the president would invite the victims and their families to fly on Air Force One and lobby senators to enact restrictions on knife ownership.
Background checks, registration and more regulations could help prevent the wrong people from getting knives in the first place.
Knives, guns, airplanes (remember 9-11) and explosives are tools and not in themselves evil or good. The next time a tragedy occurs, the person(s) involved needs to be blamed and not the means used to carry out the attack.
Cameron Keim
Will require a permit
Digital cameras are fantastic, and technology is improving daily. However, in the hands of the wrong person, a continuous-shooting camera can be dangerous. Some are advocating limiting unlicensed photographers to single-shoot cameras only.
A move is afoot in Congress to limit our photographic creativity by limiting us to cameras that shoot in all settings but those that allow for multiple shots with one press of the shutter. Some are concerned that a continuous-shot type camera, in the wrong hands, may be harmful to others. The National Paparazzi Association, or NPA is resisting the move.
If the legislation is passed, operating an automatic or continuous-shooting camera will require a special permit from the Camera Licensing Board. Cameras with continuous-shooting capability will also be required to have shutter locks when not in use, to prevent accidental photography from occurring.
Additionally, because the word "shoot" is used in photography jargon, memory cards will be limited to 30MB to eliminate any temptation to illegally acquire cameras capable of taking continuous-shoot mode shots. High-capacity memory cards will be authorized for use by the White House press corps only, as average citizens have no need for such capability.

Anything on The Blacklist? — Michelle While everyone has been focused on the mystery of Liz's father, Season 2 will also explore who Liz's mother was. "If the part about my dad wasn't true, what is the truth, if any, that I need to learn about my mom?" executive producer John Eisendrath says of Liz's mindset this year. In other news, there will be a small time jump when the show returns, but Berlin will still very much be in the picture as the main villain in the "first portion of the year," Eisendrath adds.

It's the elephant in the room on Chasing Life and so many other TV shows, movies, novels and plays: Is the character with cancer going to die? Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith admits he had the same question when he was first approached to join the ABC Family drama (Tuesdays, 9/8c) about a young journalist April Carver (Italia Ricci) who learns that she has cancer. "One of my first reactions was, 'Well, how do you keep this show going?' For me, the show is...

Parenthood fans were in an emotional tizzy this past spring, but it wasn't because of a heartbreaking story line on the show.
After five seasons, the fate of the beloved family drama remained in question and was the last scripted series to receive a pick-up from NBC for the 2014-2015 TV season just hours before the network's fall schedule was unveiled.

To be or not to be ... pregnant: That is the question facing the writers of Parenthood as the show prepares to kick off its final season this fall. While the Season 5 finale wrapped up many of the year's ongoing story lines, so much so that it made star Peter Krause worry about a renewal, there was one huge cliff-hanger left unanswered: Is Amber (Mae Whitman) expecting? Aside from the hotly debated question of how she and on-and-off love Ryan (Matt Lauria) could have even had sex in his hospital bed in the first place — we're with you, Ray Romano — Amber was spotted buying a pregnancy test in the final act. While the writers begin to decide where the final 13 episodes will take the Braverman clan, we thought we'd help them out by devising a pro-con list of whether Amber...

Parenthood's Season 5 finale could've easily served as a series ending, and a satisfying one at that, so much so that both the drama's showrunner and its stars wondered if the network would feel it was the right place to end.
"I got nervous watching [the finale] because I felt like, that kind of leaves it in a place where the network can very easily say, 'Oh, that's a nice ending to a series," Peter Krause told a theater full of fans Saturday at the show's ATX Television Festival panel, moderated by this reporter. Added showrunner Jason Katims, "This year, I honestly was hedging my bets. More than any other [season], I didn't know whether the show was going to come back and I thought it was a good chance we wouldn't."

This Thanksgiving give thanks for the Pacifica Beach Coalition's adventurous and successful group of volunteers, who are planning another big cleanup this weekend.
Helen Nicely of the Pacifica Beach Coalition is hosting a 4th Saturday cleanup on Nov. 24 in the Mussel Rock Park parking area at the end of Westline Drive by Allied Waste Transfer Station from 8:30 to 11 a.m.
Bring your own buckets, grabsticks and gloves although Nicely says she will have extra on hand.
"I want to let you know that collectively this year Pacifica Beach Coalition volunteers have collected nearly 4,000 pounds of trash and recyclables," said Nicely. "My thanks, this Thanksgiving, are for your contributions to this effort. This is enormous for one site."
With the imminent storms that are related to El Nino conditions, enormous rainfalls are expected to fall heavily this season.
"We are facing several such storms this weekend," said Nicely. "I was out in this morning's storm picking up trash and discovered many cigarette butts and plastic bottles racing down the hill in the water to the storm drain. Last month, there was an enormous load of Styrofoam that must have been sitting dormant in the storm drains that was flushed out, en masse, in the first big rain of the Fall (The Big Flush). It landed on the beach near to Mussel Rock at the Secret Waterfall. This happens every year we have large flushes of the storm drain. The message is really that we have to get to the trash before it gets to the beach or it gets washed out to sea very quickly."
There are also four other weekly cleanups in the Pacifica area which are listed in the calendar here.

Q: My "tween" is always saying "Everybody does it" or "Everybody says it." I know this is an excuse to try to get her own way or get things she wants, but I'm really getting tired of hearing it. Where does this end? — Frustrated Mom
A: It ends only when you don't cave in to her pleas and you put a stop to it.
Think about that "everybody" excuse. Did you ever ask her for the numbers, as in exactly who or how many or which of her friends are doing this or saying this or wearing that?
Try talking to her about facts versus exaggeration. Then talk about how you hope she will be true to her own values and yours, and not just follow along after others like a sheep whenever a fad or trend appears.
Aren't there some things she would NOT do just because everybody does it? Ask her for examples. Tell her to really think about whether she wants others (including the television and other media) to pressure her into choices that may not be good ones. We don't have to do what "Everybody" does.
"The Lemming Condition" is a fabulous little book by Alan Arkin. It's a great example of what happens if you always do what "Everybody" does.
Other "Everybody" excuses that parents need to shoot down:
n "Everybody" comes home whenever they want to. They don't have a curfew.
n I want a car! "Everybody" drives to school now instead of using the bus.
n Of course it is OK to have sex (or drink or do drugs) "¦"Everybody" does it.
I watched a television morning show recently and saw Adam Mansbach, the author of "Go the F"¦K to Sleep" defend his use of profanity in the book and on the cover, "Because EVERYBODY talks that way today."
Another book mentioned was "If You Give the Kid a Cookie Will He Shut the F"¦k Up?" Both books perpetuate the belief that profanity is OK and normal.
I disagree. This is not the way "everybody" talks. When we call this "normal," we are condoning it and escalating the problem.
When I called Horizon Books, the manager agreed, but also said that bookstores have to stock what sells and these are currently best-sellers. On the other hand, she said, "Talking this way is not cool, nor is it a sign of intelligence; it is just plain bad manners." I totally agree.
When you say "Everybody" does something, it means that NO ONE has to take responsibility for their behavior. (How convenient.) And that's an even bigger problem with both today's children and adults.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — In the Clippers' eyes, there's only one way to slow down the backboard-attacking Memphis Grizzlies.
"Everybody has to rebound," Clippers center DeAndre Jordan said.
That's what helped the Clippers win Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference playoff series as the Clippers outrebounded Memphis in both games.
