Great things come in small packages. The greatest shooter to hit the PlayStation Network.
We like
- The intensity of the battles
- How teamwork ultimately wins the day
- The wide range of vehicles, classes, and well-balanced weapons
We dislike
- The shortage of maps and game modes
- The PS3 voice-chat issue
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
Battlefield 1943 is a unique entry in the world of videogames. Costing just $15 USD (£10) and weighing in at a meager 565 MB, DICE Studio's downloadable multiplayer shooter features just three maps, three classes and one game mode, yet it has the look and feel of a big budget game, playing host to 24 players online and giving wannabe-soldiers access to a range of impressive World War II vehicles.

UPDATE 6/18 at 9:41 a.m.: This crime scene is located less than half a mile outside the Lake Elsinore city limits.
Updated 6/17 at 7:41 p.m.:
A body found Sunday in a Lake Elsinore home is being investigated as a homicide.
A sheriff's lieutenant told Patch at the scene that there was a body in a house located in the 32500 block of Payne Street where investigators were probing a homicide Sunday.
"We did locate a dead body at this point," Riverside County sheriff's Lt. Daniel Anne told Patch.
The lieutenant said deputies were dispatched to the home at 4:50 p.m., "In reference to a call of a dead body, a possible dead body at the location."
Someone was detained at the scene and Patch did see a middle- to older-aged man being taken away in a cruiser.
"We do have a subject detained ... however ... unknown if involved or to what degree they're involved," Anne said.
Residents of the Payne Street neighborhood said they thought no one lived in the suspect home.
"We've always thought that house was vacant. It was always closed up … there were sheets on the windows," said Lori Day, 44.
"In four months I have never seen anybody at that house. I've never seen a wife at that house," Day told Patch at the scene.
Just once in all that time, Day said she spotted a man drive out of the garage, back up and close the garage door.
Officials would not immediately confirm but scanner chatter indicated that a man called into emergency dispatch and reported killing his wife.
Deputies went to the scene and deemed it a homicide, officials said.
Day said she never saw anyone at the home ... "Nobody watering the yard," she said. "Nothing's ever open. The windows are never open. The blinds are never open."
Day said her neighborhood was generally safe.
"That's why we're all interested in what's going on down there."
The homicide case is the first for Lake Elsinore this year.

Before I encountered this site, I probably wouldn't have ever seriously thought about this as a form of assault or rape, but after reading a lot of the stories on the message boards and articles on Scarleteen, I'm not entirely sure what I think anymore.
A few years ago, my best friend and her boyfriend were going through rough spots, eventually ending in their breaking up (after being on and off for a few months) and I had always sort of liked her boyfriend. It was more to the effect that I saw how he treated her and was sort of jealous and wished I had a boyfriend who would care for me the same way. I think just having spent lots of time around him, and being friends with him as well sort of all added up to me liking him.
In any case, during one of their "off" periods, he and I sort of fooled around a bit. We sat next to each other in a class, and had been passing notes about various sexual things. It sort of started out innocently, because I had not yet been sexually active with anyone and was curious, and he and my friend had been having sex, so we talked about things. It all culminated in him coming over to my house on two occasions, a few weeks apart, I think. The first time, I let him touch my breasts (underneath my shirt) and later I sort of lay on top of him, but we weren't having dry sex. It was just the feeling of being on top of him. We never kissed, because that almost seemed like more of a betrayal of my friend than the sexual acts were (which I still regret horribly).
The second time he came over, he ended up fingering me, and I gave him a handjob (though based on what I know now, after being sexually active, he didn't ejaculate). This was the first time anyone had ever touched my breasts, or my genitals, and the first time I had touched someone else's.
Writing about this now is a bit hard, because I don't remember exactly what emotions and reactions I had. I remember him guiding my hand when I was touching him, because I didn't really know anything about manual sex, so he tended to wrap my hand tighter around his penis. I remember it feeling good, like when I masturbated, when he touched my clitoris.
I'm pretty sure I never really expected anything other than exploring sexual activity with him, because I knew that I couldn't date him, since he and my best friend had just broken up/had dated. It's just been kind of nagging at the back of my mind for awhile. A different friend asked me a few months ago if I had ever been sexually assaulted (or something to that effect) and I had to think about it for a bit, because I wasn't sure what this whole scenario was. I didn't feel violated or anything after it happened. I have felt regret in the past year or so, after being sexually involved with my current boyfriend, that the first time I had given another guy manual sex was to someone because I was curious or "horny," and that he wasn't the first person to touch my genitals sexually. But having regret about it doesn't necessarily make it a form of assault/rape. So I'm not sure what I think this is. I don't want to label it something that it's not.
I never said "no." I know that's not a true reason something isn't assault, but I knew what he wanted to do and agreed to it. I can't remember who suggested the thought of us being sexually involved. It *might* have been him, but I can't be sure without the actual conversation text (this was about 3 years ago, now).
A few months later, after he and my friend had been broken up all the way for awhile, I went over to his house to watch some Star Trek, and he would tickle me, sort of getting his hand under my shirt, on my stomach, attempting to get farther, but I would stop him.
I think one of the reasons it's harder to remember what happened with more detail is that because I've felt guilty about what happened (I don't want my friend to find out. I don't know if she would be mad now, but I still feel like I betrayed her), whenever I think about it, my brain sort of glosses over it. It's almost like my brain blocked it. I avoid thinking about it.
Sorry this is a bit convoluted. I've been trying to sort it out in words, but it's the first time I've written about it, or told anyone about it. If you have any input about what constitutes rape/assault, I would love to hear what you think this situation sounds like. The line is blurred for me, and I don't really know what it was.
Member # 3
I'm not hearing anything in this that sounds nonconsensual or like assault to me.
It sounds like you were active in initiating some of this sexual relationship. While clearly, neither of you engaged in any clear verbal consent, it seems you both used some nonverbal cues and I don't hear you saying anywhere that you felt pressured or pushed to do anything you didn't want to do.
I hear you saying you feel regret and guilt about it, but like you said, feeling regret about sexual experiences doesn't mean we were assaulted. What it sounds more to me is like you made some sexual choices you just don't feel very good about in retrospect.
Member # 47955
Thanks. It's just been sort of hard to sort out the emotions surrounding the situation, and I would never want to say that something as serious as assault or some sort of rape had happened to me if it hadn't. I've never really thought of it as such, but I had been doing some questioning lately, and wasn't entirely sure how it had all happened. It was just a bad situation that I put myself in, but it wasn't without my own actions. I think it was just good to get it all written out.
Again, thanks for the input. Sometimes it takes an outside source to point out what reality is.
Member # 3
Do you want to talk some more about it? Even when something is consensual, that doesn't always mean we feel okay about it. It sounds like you have some tough feelings around this.
Member # 47955
That would be great, thanks so much.
I think the thing that bothers me the most about it is that it was my first time being sexual in any way with someone, really. I had dated someone previously, but we hadn't ever gone past kissing goodbye on the lips, and I didn't even really have deep or lasting feelings for this guy. I guess I didn't live up to my expectations for the first time I sexually interacted with a partner.
One other thing that has been weighing on me a lot is that I currently have been dating a wonderful guy for over a year, and I am his first girlfriend, so I've been all his "firsts" thus far (except for masturbation). He's pretty much been most of my "firsts" as well. He's the first person that has seen me naked, that I've participated in (given and received) oral sex with, and a lot of things. But it bothers me that he wasn't the first person who touched my breasts or my genitals. It almost seems a bit silly. But I've been his first for so many personal things, and he's been mine for many as well, but there are these two things that I did with someone else that he doesn't know about. He knows that he's been the first real sexual relationship I've had, so I think he might assume that everything is a first for me as well. It's just never come up (and I'm not sure how I would tell him about this) that he wasn't the first person that had touched me like that. But since it's something that I'm really ashamed of, I don't know if I would want him to know anyways.
Sorry if that is a bit confusing, I hope it's decently coherent.
Member # 3
I think that it's not very helpful to think about if our feelings are or aren't reasonable, since pretty much by definition, they're not about reason or logic. Too, even if we made that kind of judgment, it wouldn't likely stop us from feeling whatever we are. Your feelings are valid feelings no matter what, simply because they're the feelings you are having.
You know, I just did an advice piece yesterday about a different situation, but addressed feelings of sexual regret and the idea that there's some kind of perfect sexual choice, and/or the tendency so many people can have to wish they could rewrite sexual history. I think you might find some of it helpful:
I do think it's important to try and recognize that every time we have a new partner, we already have firsts because they're all firsts with that particular person. I tend to think that's a lot more valuable than figuring we only have one first ever the very first time we did one given thing with whoever we did it with first, especially since more often than not, so many of our very first times with sexual things are not as enjoyable as other firsts will be later. Know what I mean?
That said, it sounds like this is a relationship you're really serious about and feel great about. So, I'd suggest you consider perhaps being honest and disclosing this to him particularly BECAUSE you feel ashamed of it: one of the best ways to kind of take the air out of a shame balloon is to disclose with someone we trust and value -- and vice-versa. That is also a pretty exceptional kind of intimacy, one that's usually a lot more intimate and intense than any kind of sex we could be having.
I also want to toss you a link to a poll I think might help you feel better about just how many people (read very few), find that their expectations about sex before they had any kind of it were realistic:
In other words, this SO much is not just you: it's most people.
Member # 47955
I get what you are trying to say about different sexual partners. In some ways, I do consider him my first sexual partner for those activities, because for us, they were done out of love instead of just sexual curiosity or desires. It's more dealing with the fact that the first person that was allowed to touch me intimately and allowed in a private area of my body was someone I wasn't really interested.
Some days I really do want to share it with him, because it's one of the few deeper secrets about myself that I haven't told him. Part of it, though, is that I'm not exactly sure how I would ever bring this up if/when I tell him about it. Thus far, to the best of my memory, there hasn't really been a good conversation that had the proper context for bringing it up. Do you have any ways to bring it up without just spontaneously broaching the topic? (At the earliest I could talk with him about this in ~3 weeks, since we are in a long distance relationship due to college, and this is certainly something that deserves an in person conversation.)
Thank you, as well, for the links. The article, especially, was helpful.
Member # 3
Unless I'm misreading your posts, it sounds like you were interested in that person, just not in the same way that you're interested in your boyfriend now.
You know, I think so often with big stuff, someone else isn't going to open the door or we aren't going to find some perfect opening provided. Instead, we usually just wind up saying something like, "You know, there's something in my history I have been wanting to tell you about, and..."
...and then we launch in. Obviously, with something that's a big deal to us, we want to have those talks at times where we know there can be time to talk and process and where we feel safe and comfortable being emotional.
Member # 47955
(Sorry for the mix up in language. You are right, I was interested in him, but it wasn't the same sort of interest as a solid relationship. In the above post I was trying to say that it was with someone I wasn't interested in or saw as a possibility for a committed, serious relationship with.)
That's sort of how it's gone when we've talked about other deeply personal things before. I just tend to have a hard time working up the courage to tell or ask harder things, sometimes. But I guess most people probably do. Hard topics like this are usually...harder to talk about.
Usually we tend to talk about things when we are laying in bed after (manual/oral) sex. Though I think perhaps with the issue this would cover, that might not be the best setting for it?
Member # 3
So, what it sounds like to me is that you've figured out, through trial and error, that you prefer sex in one kind of emotional or interpersonal context more than in another. That's totally okay, completely typical, and all of this is a lifelong learning process for all of us, so we often all learn this kind of stuff as we go.
Generally, talking about hard history in a sexual context -- after sex, where you're naked -- doesn't tend to work best a lot of the time. I think it's more about you in that situation: I'd expect you'd feel doubly vulnerable that way, you know?
Member # 47955
That's what I was thinking.
Thanks so much for helping me talk this through!

OTTUMWA — OTTUMWA — Communication between cultures leads to understanding and acceptance.
This bottom line has pushed the International Festival forward for the last 15 years, growing each year with more vendors, more entertainment and more participants, said the event's creator, Ed Ball.
"We had a large influx of Latinos," Ball said of the period of time before the event began in 1998. "There could be two Americans sitting there talking, and the Latino thinks they're talking about him. I thought, we need to do something to get these people to come together."
The festival began under a large tent in Sycamore Park with just a few booths. Today, it incorporates 20 ethnicities found throughout Ottumwa. Some may not realize, Ball said, but there are more than 17 different ethnicities working at Cargill Meat Solutions alone.
While the event has helped forge a dialogue between Ottumwa's different cultures and ethnicities, Ball said nothing can be done to change stereotypes long set in stone.
"Those people are too far gone," Ball said. "They sit around with something on their mind that happened 25 years ago."
This is the first year Molly B has participated in the event after she was asked by Ball to become its event coordinator.
"I'm glad I did. It's a lot of hard work, but I got to meet a lot of really interesting people," she said. "I respect Ed so much. He's so rich with the history of his own life. He's helped open my eyes to different races and ethnicities. This makes you think about stereotypes, people being racist and ignorant to different cultures."
She hopes the festival will "teach people not to be so narrow-minded."
"This is a way to honor every culture," she said.
The Ottumwa Human Rights Commission worked alongside the Ottumwa Area Convention and Visitors Bureau to organize this year's event, said HRC member Lisa Aslesen.

The owner of Red Rooster Cafe, Jamie Radcliffe, responds to the restaurant closure. See her response in the comments section below.
Original post on Dec. 30, 2012
The owner of Red Rooster Cafe, Jamie Radcliffe, announced on Friday, Dec. 28, that the waterfront restaurant in downtown Gig Harbor closed after her lease was revoked.
In the summer of 2011, the .
The cafe's landlords Stanley and Judith Stearns proposed the ordinance change after the restaurant was struggling under the limitations.
Radcliffe broke the news on Red Rooster Cafe's Facebook page:
My lease was revoked today. This was unexpected and I am truly sad for this loss. I put every ounce of my heart and soul into building the RR, but apparently God has another plan for me.
I have been informed that the building owner has arranged for someone else to re-open the restaurant within the next few months as the new owner.
I have not been informed who the new owner will be or exactly when the RR will re-open, but I would imagine that they will still take any gift certificates you may have recently purchased.
I hope with all of my heart that when the Red Rooster opens back up and that all of my wonderful regular customers and facebook friends will continue to love the RR.
Thank you all sincerely for spending the past 2.5 years with me! I am going to miss so many of you so much!!
We are officially closed.
Patch will have more information as it becomes available.

Author Wes Yoder's words are humorous, yet beyond the sports and weather chatter and silence that characterize many male conversations there is brokenness. Emptiness. Shame. That's not funny.
For Yoder, the cure is not about planting the flag for one's manhood by going out hunting or by joining another men's movement. Rather, Yoder calls disappointed, disenchanted and lonely men to authenticity. Here, he issues a compelling invitation to men to begin a new way of living. When men engage in spiritual friendship and honest conversation, they begin to find joy, healing and their true identity.

Linux Serial Consoles for Servers and Clusters
Managing large numbers of Linux and UNIX systems takes a lot of organization, automation and careful use of technology. A significant chunk of one's time as a system administrator is spent building infrastructure to make managing those systems easier. Doing so improves flexibility, recoverability and reduces downtime. All of this hopefully results in less stress and longer vacations. This article discusses one of those simple technologies that helps accomplish all of the above, serial consoles.
Serial consoles always have been a standard feature of enterprise UNIX hardware. Modern high-density server and cluster configurations sometimes can squeeze more than 50 servers in a 19" rack, so having monitors and keyboards for each one is unthinkable. Although KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switches can connect many servers to a small number of monitors and keyboards, they are expensive and even more so with remote access features. Serial consoles allow you to take racks or shelves of servers and have all their consoles available all the time, from anywhere.
The console is a simple I/O device, initialized early in the kernel boot process to convey informational messages as the system comes up. Once the operating system starts running startup scripts, the console can be used to recover an ailing system or to get input from the system administrator interactively, like Red Hat's Kudzu does. One compelling feature of serial consoles is never having to drive in to work because a system is hung up at reboot asking for input for fsck. After the system is up completely, the console usually becomes a login terminal, sometimes a graphical one. The console also can be used as a last resort method of reporting problems inside the kernel. Under these panic conditions it is not possible always to write to log files or network log servers, so messages are reported to the console. For this reason and many more, consoles on servers should be a simple device, and a serial port is the simplest device included on standard system configurations. For those last-minute panic messages, one could add a console device that supports buffering and logging, so you never miss a moment of the excitement.
What we are talking about here is booting up a system without using an attached keyboard, mouse or video monitor. Some motherboards may complain without a directly attached keyboard, but this requirement usually can be changed in the BIOS configuration. In fact, with the recent popularity of USB keyboards, most BIOS versions do not care about missing keyboards. If you are using a system that was designed to be a server, you may be even more fortunate. Several vendors have started adding extra functionality to their BIOS versions to better support serial consoles from power-on. These features sometimes include power-on system test (POST) output and BIOS configuration access over the serial port. Depending on your needs, you can select your hardware accordingly by checking the vendor specifications. Even without BIOS support, you still can use serial consoles quite effectively on almost any PC system.
This is not a perfect solution, though, and your average PC hardware does not provide all of the features available in typical enterprise-class UNIX hardware. PC BIOS versions do not have the concept of a boot monitor (see the "What Is a Boot Monitor?" sidebar), nor can you perform a hardware halt of the OS as you can in enterprise UNIX hardware. For many applications this is okay, but when more functionality is needed add-on hardware options are available, and I discuss them later.
What Is a Boot Monitor?
Classic UNIX hardware (Sun, HP, SGI and so on) usually has a feature called a boot monitor. Think of it as a tiny operating system built into Flash memory on the motherboard of a server or workstation. Sometimes called a boot console or prom console, they function as a PC BIOS and a bootloader in one. They are responsible for understanding all manner of boot devices and getting the kernel image into RAM and running. Most boot monitors can boot from the network for diskless operation or recovery from a failed boot device. One key feature of boot monitors is they stand between the console and the kernel, so it often is possible to suspend or halt the running OS and drop to the boot monitor with a magic keystroke. Then, even better, the OS resumes where it left off. This allows you to diagnose hardware problems or forcibly reboot the system even if the kernel has died. In a PC system, only a skeletal set of hardware support exists in the BIOS, and the rest must be provided by small chunks of code provided in Flash memory on the hardware itself.
Most PC hardware BIOS versions can be configured only with a directly attached keyboard and video monitor. Luckily most come with usable default settings, so this is not normally an issue. If it is, you may need to have the system initially configured with direct attached video and keyboard and then switch to serial console. In my experience, I have rarely needed to do this; it needs to be done only once during initial hardware setup.
Very helpful
Even though it was written 3 years ago, still want to say thank you for this helpful article.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Residents are able to have guests visit them in the residence halls according to the following guidelines:
1. Residents may have a guest stay in campus housing a total of three days in any given thirty-day period. In special circumstances, the Residential Life Office may grant permission to extend a stay to seven days in a thirty-day period. A guest is defined as an individual not residing within this particular room/building.
2. Guests staying in excess of three days in any given thirty-day period must be approved by the Hall Director or Assistant Director.
3. Guests are not permitted unless all roommates consent to their presence.
4. A student host is responsible for the actions of his or her guest while they are on campus. Therefore, a student host will be judicially charged under the visitors policy in The Code of Community Standards if his or her guest violates College policy.
5. Guests must be escorted and are expected to abide by all campus regulations.
All residential students are bound by the terms and conditions of the Residence Hall Housing Agreement and specific building guidelines/requirements.
1. Outdoor TV/Radio antennas or dishes are not permitted. Tapping into cable TV/dish systems is considered as theft and will be dealt with as such.
2. Several student rooms have balconies. Balconies are not to be used for cooking, smoking, storage or to dry/display clothing, signs, etc. Balcony doors should remain locked when not in use. Balconies should not be used for room access.
3. Signs, posters, etc. must be hung on bulletin boards and not on doors, walls, windows, etc., inside or outside of residence halls.
4. Bicycles must be stored in student rooms or on college provided bike racks. Bicycles stored or locked in public areas (stairwells, hallways, lounges, etc.) will be removed and stored at the owner's expense for 30 days. If the bike is not claimed after 30 days it will be donated to charity. Bicycles left on bike racks at the end of the year will be removed and stored at the owners expense for 30 days. If bikes are not claimed by the owner within 30 days, they will be considered abandoned and donated to local charities.
5. Skateboards, roller blades, and cleats need to be removed prior to entering a residence hall. These items cause uneven wear and damage the floors and carpets.
6. Metal-tipped darts and dartboards are prohibited.
1. Consideration of others and mutual respect are among the most important ingredients for successful residence hall living. Noise levels which negatively affect study, sleep or other activities will not be tolerated regardless of the time of day. It is the responsibility of all residents to be considerate of fellow students living in close quarters so that an environment conducive to academic success and personal happiness is maintained.
2. Minimum Quiet Hours have been established between 10:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. during the week, and 1:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. on the weekends. Consideration Hours are in effect during the periods not designated as Quiet Hours. 24 hour Quiet Hours will be in effect during all final exam periods. Students are reminded to be considerate of their neighbors and the surrounding community.
3. The use of musical instruments (electric guitars, drums, etc.) is subject to the guidelines listed above. Practice rooms are available for student use in Keene Hall.
4. Perpetual offenders, after notification from the Director, Residential Life, may have their housing privileges revoked immediately for further violation of the noise policy.
1. All full-time Arts & Sciences and College of Professional Studies students with less than 60 semester hours or two years of full time on-campus residency must live on campus. The Residential Life Office will meet the requests of upperclass students for housing within the limits of residential requirements, capacity and conditions of the Housing Agreement. Students who wish to move on campus will be added to a waiting list until space becomes available.
2. Residence halls remain open during fall, Thanksgiving, and spring breaks and are closed during the December-January holiday period. Residence halls will be open for registered intercession students.
3. Only students who receive prior approval from the Residential Life Office as a result of College employment (College Office must officially request) or athletic team commitment (Athletic Office must officially request) may reside in the residence halls before/after the official dates of the Housing Agreement. Students who do not meet early move-in criteria but have extenuating circumstances must request and receive permission in writing from the Residential Life Office to move in early. Requests will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Approved early move-ins will be subject to a $75 per night fee. Students attempting to move in early without receiving prior approval will be required to vacate immediately and be charged a minimum of $75 per night plus applicable administrative fees in addition to being documented and referred to the Office of Community Standards and Responsibility for policy violations.
The College is not liable for damages to or theft/loss of personal property, for the failure or interruption of utilities or for injury to persons. Students must provide their own personal property insurance or make sure they are covered under their parent/guardians' homeowner's insurance policies. The College will not issue refunds for the failure or interruptions of utilities.
Pets other than fish in small aquariums are not allowed in the residence halls. Pets are a problem inside a residence hall because of sanitation, pest control, allergies and noise. An initial $100 fee will be assessed and if the pet is not removed immediately, a $25.00/each additional day fee will be assessed. Students who fail to comply with the initial request to remove the pet will be referred to the Office of Community Standards and Responsibility for disciplinary action. Students are also responsible for the actions of their guests and will be held accountable if a guest brings a pet inside a residence hall. The responsible resident(s) will be expected to pay for any extermination costs incurred.
1. Room and roommate change requests may be made to the Office of Residential Life 14 days after the first day of classes. Students must first speak with their RA or House Manager before requesting a change. It is the responsibility of the student who initiates the room change to inform his/her roommate that he/she would like to move. No room changes will be approved until this occurs. Room changes are limited by available spaces and cannot be guaranteed.
Room Change process:
2. Students may be reassigned or removed from housing as a result of a sanction issued by the Office of Community Standards and Responsibility.
1. Residents must leave their rooms "broom clean" and free of any trash or other personal belongings/furniture when they move out of a room (during or at the end of the year).
2. Students who have room damages, fail to properly clean their rooms or remove personal items and/or fail to return their keys at time of departure will be billed by the Residential Life Office. When appropriate, bills will be split between roommates.
3. Specific instructions for the end-of-semester and/or end-of-year check out are distributed to all resident students before closing. A Residential Life staff member must inspect your room prior to your departure. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in a minimum of a $75 improper check-out fee.
In order to accommodate requests for campus housing, students living alone in double rooms may be required to move together into one room. If space is not needed, the option to keep this room with a vacancy for the current semester only will be offered at an increased rate. The Residential Life Office will help you determine the nature of available space. If it is determined by the Residential Life Office that residents are rejecting all potential roommates regardless of compatibility, students will either be billed an increased rate or consolidated.
When the appropriate College Officials plan to seek access to a student room in a residence hall for improvement or repair, the occupant shall be notified in advance, although there may be entry without notice where life, limb or property are jeopardized, or there is reasonable suspicion that College policy or law is being or has been violated. All visible violations of State, Local, Federal Laws or College policy will be documented.
Lost/stolen keys should be reported IMMEDIATELY to the offices of Residential Life and Campus Security. Lending/giving keys is prohibited. Students will be charged a $50 fee for core lock changes and new keys. Lost/stolen ID cards for the Card Access system need to be re-issued by the R-Card Office. The R-Card Office charges for a replacement card. Students locked out of their rooms will be assessed a $10 fee to have a member of the Residential Life or Campus Security staff unlock their room.
1. Nothing in the Residence Hall Agreement may expressly or implicitly give the College Officials authority to consent to a search of a student's room by police or other government officials without a search warrant authorized by law.
2. The Dean of Student Affairs, or designee, may authorize a search of a student's room in a residence hall by members of the College to determine compliance with federal, state, and local criminal law or College regulations where there is a reasonable basis to believe that a violation has occurred or is taking place.
3. The Dean of Student Affairs, or designee, shall authorize the search in writing. The student(s) involved will receive written notice within 7 days after the search. At the time of the search, the College Official must state the reason. Any search authorization may subsequently be reviewed by the Vice President for Student Affairs upon the request of the involved student(s). The purpose of such review is (a) to determine that the individual's rights were observed, and (b) to assure that the authorization was well-founded. For example, authorization to search a room for stolen property would be considered well-founded and would not prevent punitive measures being taken on the basis of evidence accidentally uncovered which revealed another offense. If the Vice President for Student Affairs determines that the authorization was improper, nothing uncovered or seized during the search shall be used as evidence before the student hearing board/ Administrative Hearing Officer, although stolen property will be returned to the owner(s).
4. When a search of a student's room has been authorized, it should be done in the presence of that student or the students in question. In the absence of the student, a note will be left inside the room informing the student of the room search and directing them to contact the Campus Security Office immediately upon their return.
5. Both a Campus Security Officer and a professional member of the Dean of Student Affairs staff (typically an Assistant Director, Residential Life) will conduct the search.
1. All entrance/exit doors of all residence halls will be kept locked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Propping open doors to residence halls and/or pulling or forcing open exterior doors are serious offenses because they jeopardize the safety and security of the residence hall. Violators will be subject to disciplinary action and possible immediate termination of their Housing Agreement.
2. Students should lock their doors for the safety and security of their person and personal belongings. Thefts do occur, and unlocked doors contribute to theft. The College has installed peep holes in all student room doors for your safety. Students should always carry their room and entrance keys/IDs with them. Lost or stolen keys/IDs should be reported to the Residential Life Office and Campus Security immediately. Students should make arrangements to meet delivery personnel at the entrance of their building. Additionally, students should not open doors or allow entry to individuals who do not possess an entrance key/ID.
3. Life Safety Inspections will be conducted every month as mandated by the Winter Park Fire Department. Every residence hall room must be checked for potential health and safety violations by a member of the Residential Life staff. Staff will post signs stating the date and time of these inspections at least 24 hours in advance of the inspection. Staff, however, are authorized to conduct Life Safety Inspections in the absence of the residents.
Solicitation in the residence halls by anyone requires the approval of the Director of Residential Life. The following guidelines will be used:
1. No door-to-door solicitation of any type will be permitted in any residential living unit.
2. Presentations by nonprofit organizations in common areas will be permitted pending written approval by the Residential Life Office and the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership. These presentations may not infringe in any way upon the rights of the residents living in that building.
3. "Home Shows" hosted by students in their rooms with the intent of promoting or selling a company's products MUST be registered in advance with the Residential Life Office. The office has the right to research the company for legitimacy.
All Rollins College and Residential Life policies apply to pool area. No alcohol or smoking is permitted in the pool area. The pool is for Sutton residents and their guests only. Guests must be accompanied by a Sutton resident at all times. Residents and their guests may only use pool during the hours posted, must clean up after themselves, and follow all posted signs. No diving or jumping off o the deck or water feature is permitted.
1. Window screens and blinds are not to be unhooked or removed from the windows for any reason. All windows must remain closed when air conditioning units are operating in the residence halls.
2. Alcohol beverage containers, signs, posters, flags, etc. that can be seen from outside the building are not permitted on residence hall windows/sills.
3. Signs, posters, flags, and other items may not be hung outside residence hall windows without prior approval by the Residential Life Office.

Tigers-Rangers and Cardinals-Brewers. Did you have that LCS combo in March? Heck, did you have it two weeks ago? This has become one bizarro October.
The Red Sox and Braves, who looked solid all summer, went bellyup before we even got out of September. The Cinderella Rays were gonzo. Then the Yankees went down -- and you'll note I picked that one. But the biggest shocker of all was the Phillies losing to St. Louis.
They were the best team in baseball all year but their offense failed them. That eight-game losing streak after they clinched the NL East was, in fact, a bad omen. And Cliff Lee blowing a 4-0 lead in Game Two when they were in complete control of the NLDS was another major issue.
Phil Sheridan of the Philadelphia Inquirer correctly says this is the lowest point for the Phillies since they won the World Series in 2008. And it appears Ryan Howard may have a torn Achilles tendon after making the last out.
So while the Phillies and Yankees try to figure out what's next (Cheap plug: Read more on the Yankees in Sunday's Inside Baseball column), the final four play on. The ALCS opens tonight in Texas with the NLCS opening Sunday in Milwaukee. Here's my thoughts:
Tigers vs. Rangers -- Big loss for the Tigers came out today with Delmon Young being taken off the roster with a strained oblique. He's been huge since he was acquired at the trade deadline. Still, I like the roll this team is on. I like Justin Verlander in Game One and potentially going three times. Doug Fister and Max Scherzer provide great help in the rotation and the bullpen has been solid led by Jose Valverde. The Rangers looked terrific against the Rays, like they completely expect to go back to the World Series. Think the Red Sox still wish they had Adrian Beltre? FOX may wish this was Yankees-Red Sox but they will still get a great series. Tigers in seven.
Cardinals vs. Brewers -- All the momentum in the world has me wanting to pick the Cardinals but I have questions about their rotation after Chris Carpenter. The Brewers, meanwhile, are just about unbeatable at Miller Park. Great offense, great bullpen, solid rotation. Plus they know this is their one chance with Prince Fielder having one foot out of the door en route to free agency. Prince and old man Cecil have long been estranged so it will be interesting to see how he deals with all the questions about his father if he meets the Tigers, Cecil's old team, in a World Series. The Cardinals have been a great story but the road ends here. Brewers in five.
Now you make your picks.

Five days before West Virginia University's season opener against William & Mary Saturday in Morgantown, there's still no word on who will start at quarterback. Late Sunday night, though, WVU did provide some insight into who it won't be.
On a depth chart released by the sports information department, the quarterback position was listed as junior Paul Millard OR junior Florida State transfer Clint Trickett. Redshirt-freshman Ford Childress, who had an OR beside his name on the depth chart that was released at the beginning of fall camp, had that distinction removed.
Third-year head coach Dana Holgorsen had committed to making a decision on who would replace record-setting quarterback Geno Smith by the end of preseason camp last Saturday, but since that time the coaching staff and the athletic department have been more tight lipped than the CIA. There have been no interview sessions with players or coaches and no press releases until the depth chart came out Sunday night.
Millard is the only one of the three quarterbacks in the competition who has thrown a pass wearing a WVU uniform. The Flower Mound, Texas, native has completed 16 of 34 passes for 211 yards. He's tossed three touchdowns and an equal number of interceptions.
Trickett played in 12 games at FSU before coming back to Morgantown, where he lived when his father, Rick Trickett, coached the Mountaineer offensive line under Rich Rodriguez. He threw for 947 yards and seven touchdowns, compared to just four interceptions, in his time on the field for the Seminoles.
n n n
Quarterback wasn't the only position of interest on the depth chart.
At running back, Houston transfer Charles Sims, picked as the Big 12's Newcomer of the Year, was listed as the first-teamer at running back, while freshman Wendell Smallwood was the backup. The third-teamer was junior college transfer Dreamius Smith, followed by Dustin Garrison, who was WVU's go-to back as a freshman in 2011.
Last year's top rusher, Andrew Buie, was not listed on the chart released Sunday night.
Cody Clay was listed as the starter at H-back, a fullback/tight end hybrid position, backed up by Garrett Hope.
The starting offensive line consisted of Quinton Spain (left tackle), Marquis Lucas or Pat Eger (left guard), Tyler Orlosky (center), Mark Glowinski (right guard) and Curtis Feight (right tackle).
The starting outside receivers were K.J. Myers and Ivan McCartney, backed up by Kevin White and Ronald Carswell. Daikiel Shorts and Devonte Mathis were the top two slot receivers on the chart.
n n n
Experience filled the starting lineup on defense, beginning with a front three of Shaq Rowell (nose tackle), Will Clarke and Eric Kinsey. Isaiah Bruce was listed as the starter at the Spur position, with Brandon Golson at the Buck. Jared Barber and Doug Rigg were listed as co-starters at the Sam linebacker spot, with Nick Kwiatkoski at the Will.
In the secondary, Travis Bell, a converted safety, and Ishmael Banks were listed as starters at the two cornerback spots. Karl Joseph and Darwin Cook were the two safeties.
n n n
Redshirt-freshman Josh Lambert won the placekicking duties, according to the chart, while Nick O'Toole will handle the punting. Michael Molinari, the backup punter, will be the holder, with John DePalma serving as the long snapper.
Sims and Smallwood were listed as the kick returners, with Ronald Carswell and Jordan "Squirt" Thompson as punt returners.
n n n
Holgorsen is scheduled to be a part of the first Big 12 coaches' teleconference of the season this morning at 11:40 a.m., and will surely be asked to speak further on the quarterback battle.

Sasha brought much to the sport that is unique to her and should not be forgotten. But, her delicacy on the ice has morphed into something that suggests something more like weakness to me. It's not just about her lack of consistency. Her jump landings to me pretty much ruin the beauty she has on the ice. Her landings are weak and rarely are on a clean flowing edge. Sadly it sucks all the conviction out of her skating IMHO. I have had the same problem over the years with Mao. I also don't think she has the heart of a champion, so in an athletic discipline, I can't vote for her. (I'd pay to watch her show skate over any lady on the list, though!)
I think Mirai could have been it with her appealing combo of spirit and ability, but her star never continued to rise.
I have always been into Ashley and with her recent Nats win she gets my vote. Although she's a little more generic than the others I think she has the soul of a champion and is a real threat for world and olympic gold. She has it all...just needs to put it together when it counts.

When Manuel Jimenez first set eyes on the land below a levee, the one-time field worker envisioned a place where youngsters could escape the temptations of gang life and learn about the Central Valley's most vital industry.
Over the past seven years, Jimenez enlisted hundreds of young volunteers and turned 14 acres in the Tulare County town of Woodlake into lush gardens of vines, vegetables and fruit trees.
Best known for its annual rodeo, Woodlake, population 7,280, struggles with gang violence and poverty.
Jimenez, a lifetime resident who works as a small farm adviser, and his wife Olga taught the children farming techniques, work habits and communication skills to prepare them for jobs or college.
The local police chief credits the program, Woodlake Pride, with helping fight local gang crime.

On July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on
the Moon in an area called the 'Sea of Tranquility'. They exited the 'Eagle' spacecraft and collected rock samples in their bulky space suits for nearly 2 ½ hours. They returned to Earth with about 50 pounds of lunar samples.
It always amazes me when I think that it has been more than 40 years since humans first walked on the Moon. There was no Internet, and
computer power was almost non-existent. It goes to show what can be
accomplished when people focus their minds on accomplishing a goal and pull together.
Much of the abundant technological advancements we take for granted today are the result of the effort to get to the Moon. On a personal
note … my own interest in astronomy was inspired by the Moon landings. Back then, we all wanted to be astronauts 'when we grew up'.
I took the attached picture of the Moon at the Round Hill Observatory. I put an 'X' where the Apollo 11 astronauts landed in the Sea of Tranquility. In spite of what some conspiracy theorist say, we HAVE been there.
Clear skies!

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Oklahoma State sophomore Marcus Smart recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and the USA U19 men's basketball team defeated Brazil 91-66 here Monday night in the first game of the second round at the FIBA U19 World Championships.
The Brazilians kept the game close early, trailing by just three (20-17) at the end of the first quarter. A 13-4 run to start the second period gave the Americans a double-digit lead, but at intermission, the United States led by just six at 40-34. A basket by Brazil to open the second half cut the lead to four, but an 18-0 run by the Americans, including six points by Smart, gave the U.S. a 20-point cushion that never dipped into the teens again.
In his fourth start of the tournament and ninth international start the past two summers, Smart added four assists and two steals. He has 14 steals for the tournament. With five games remaining, he is five steals away from the top-five among players competing for the United States at the U19/Junior World Championships. Patrick Beverly holds the record with 31 steals in nine games during the 2007 U19 World Championships.
The Americans (4-0) will face Australia (2-2) on Tuesday at 8:15 pm local time (1:15 pm CT) at the O2 Arena.

The 80 degree weather in March and April frosts caused havoc on the region's apple orchards, resulting in some orchards canceling a cherished fall tradition for many families.
Many of McHenry County's smaller orchards, including Huntley's Pineapple Acres, are not open for apple picking due to bad crops this season.
Other orchards that managed to open have had to modify the "U Pick" experience.
Apple crops across the nation are down 14 percent from last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Illinois, like other states, experienced a warm spring season that caused trees to bud earlier than usual, according to a USDA press release. Multiple freezes in April damaged many of the buds. Then came the drought.
The central state region reported a decrease of 71 percent in production from last year, the release stated.
Locally, many small orchards are not opening. The height of apple picking season is this weekend, Sept. 15, but people may not realize there are not many orchards open in McHenry County this year.
Lang's Orchard is one of those closed this season. The Woodstock orchard usually has gala, McIntosh, Granny Smith apples and other varieties.
"We have no apples," owner Steve Lang said.
Lang said he goes to meetings for orchard owners and has found the only places that have had good crops this season are the larger orchards, which spent thousands of dollars to save the crops. Owners bought equipment to thaw out trees and used other techniques like starting fires in the orchards, he said.
"For small (orchards) like us, it was not worth it," Lang said. "We're small. We are a Mom-and-Pop operation," he said, adding the lost season gave the family more vacation time this year.
There are many Mom-and-Pop operations in the county like More than Delicious Orchard in Woodstock. And a message on More than Delicious Orchard says it won't open this year because "we have no apples." PineApple Acres, which also has U Pick Christmas trees, had a similar message.
All Seasons Apple Orchard, in Woodstock is open but is not having the traditional apple picking, said Eddie Hong, orchard manager.
"We do have apples this year, what we are doing, though, because of the frost in April, is bin picking," he said.
Employees harvested the apples then put them in bins in the orchard where people can go out and pick the apples, Hong said.
"We are trying to give them the best orchard experience possible with what we have," he said. "We wouldn't be able to open the orchard for the traditional you pick experience."
All Seasons has added new attractions to the farm for families. The orchard has a 12-acre corn maze and a zip line but added pig races, a petting zoo and a magician, he said. The orchard draws families from Chicago so All Seasons wanted to offer things that would make the trip to McHenry County worth it, he said.
The orchard also has apple cider, apple cider doughnuts and caramel apples, Hong said.
Prairie Sky Orchard in Union has a limited supply of apples, said co-owner SueEllen Arndt. She and her family picked the apples that did grow, bagged them and have the bags for sale in their barn.
"We've got Gala, Fugi, and Goldens," said Arndt, whose family has had the orchard for more than 20 years. The orchard has about 1,200 small draft trees, a majority of which were affected by the frost and led to the smaller yields this season.
Prairie Sky Orchard does have U Pick raspberries, Arndt said.
While weather conditions damaged the apple crops, the pumpkin crop looks fine, All Season's, Hong said. "We had the drought but (the pumpkins) do not look like the were affected. It looks like we have a good pumpkin crop."
Some of the orchards open this year include:
14510 Route 176
Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily
4914 N Union Rd
Hours: Open daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily
15908 Hebron Road
Hours: 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday
