Martin Greenfield
Just because Martin Greenfield has been making men's suits at the same Brooklyn factory for more than six decades doesn't mean he's old-fashioned. Often called "America's top tailor," Greenfield produces handmade suits, coats, pants, and tuxedos for CFDA award-winning fashion labels such as Band of Outsiders and Rag & Bone, (a few, lucky) New York City power players, and Hollywood royals. Each label and customer has its own requirements for fabric and fit, but they all come to Martin Greenfield Clothiers for one thing: unparalleled craftsmanship. Greenfield's commitment to quality is certainly why Gilt asked him to create an exclusive suiting collection.

Passports, luggage & tickets
Poco a poco, our trip to El Salvador is coming together, although we have come up against a few obstacles.
First step, passports. Carlos needed an American passport, our oldest son was an infant in his expired passport photo, and our youngest had never owned one. (Mine also needed to be renewed.) At the passport office, the clerk was very friendly but she regretted to inform us that Carlos's official Salvadoran birth certificate and official translation, didn't meet their strict identification requirements. "We need one with a raised seal," she said, running her finger across the flat piece of paper.
I laughed out loud. This certificate is his real birth certificate, not a copy. Good luck getting the government of El Salvador to send you another one designed to their specifications. (George Lopez voice: "Raised seal! 'Ta loca, raised seal!")
I pulled out Carlos's Naturalization Certificate and the clerk agreed that this would work – pero – she wanted the original. Anyone who has gotten their papers knows that the Naturalization Certificate is something you guard with your life – they cost hundreds of dollars to replace – but we didn't have a choice. We handed it over and she promised that once they were done processing the passport, they would send it back to us.
That was a few weeks ago and thankfully we've received three passports and Carlos's certificate back in the mail. (My passport is still processing.)
Final cost of passports, almost $500. Ouch.
There was no way to cut costs on passports, but we thought maybe we could on luggage. My parents generously agreed to let us borrow some of their suitcases but they're going to the beach two weeks before we plan to go to El Salvador, (which means I won't be able to pack early as I like to do.) Another problem? My parents wrote their surname in big block letters across the front of each suitcase. Walking around El Salvador with an Anglo name scrawled on our bags will make us (okay, me), look even more conspicuous than I already am. I kind of don't want to look like a tourist, if that's even possible. My plan for blending in is:
#1. Speak Caliche
#2. Wear sunglasses (Carlos says my blue eyes will give me away)
#3. Avoid sunburn
#4. Don't walk around with an Anglo name scrawled on my luggage
(If you have any other ideas, let me know.)
Anyway, determined not to buy new suitcases, we went to Goodwill. Their vast selection included a steamer trunk ala Titanic, (or "pirate box" as the boys called it), and a handful of smaller bags.
In the end, we bought suitcases. Hopefully that means we'll officially be traveling more.
The funny thing about buying the suitcases was that when we entered the luggage section of K-Mart where we ended up buying them, there was a guy who looked to be Latino in the aisle. He was wearing a fishing hat and clothes that suggested he might work in landscaping. (He also had side burns that would make Elvis jealous.) At first he said nothing to us – just kept pulling down suitcases, inspecting them, comparing them, and then putting them back.
I spoke to Carlos in Spanish, maybe a little louder than usual because I can be a show-off like that. The guy didn't even look up. I tried again. Nothing. I shrugged and decided maybe he was Filipino or deaf. Then he cleared his throat and asked Carlos, "Vas en viaje, eh?"
"Sí, pero están bien caras las maletas, man," Carlos said.
"Sí, muy caras," the man said, inspecting a price tag.
They were quiet for a moment and then the guy spoke again, "Y a dónde vas?…Guatemala?"
"Cerca," Carlos answered, "un poco más al sur. El Salvador," Carlos said, eyeing the not deaf, not Filipino guy.
"Oh, disculpa. espero que no te insulté," he said laughing.
"No, man. De ningún modo," Carlos said, before asking, "y usted es de Guatemala?"
"No, de El Salvador también…"
I watched the conversation, noting how neither Carlos or the guy used the Salvadoran "vos" – The guy didn't make eye contact with me, even when I asked if he wanted my older son to help him reach something on a high shelf. (My oldest son is taller than both Carlos and this guy.)
It was a strange encounter. What are the chances of two Salvadorans buying luggage in the same place at the same time? (Or one Salvadoran and one Guatemalan pretending to be Salvadoran? I'm not totally sure.)
Tickets were our next challenge. After sweating over the rising prices we kept finding online, Carlos finally called the travel agent. I don't know how she was able to do it, but she got us direct flights on TACA at the price and dates that we wanted.
We now have three weeks to get it together and aren't nearly ready. I'm relieved that passports, luggage and tickets are taken care of, but our last and greatest challenge still awaits.
Suegra is coming with us.
Posted on July 5, 2011, in Familia, humor, Language, Salvadoreños, suegra, travel. Bookmark the permalink. 30 Comments.
Suegra is coming!!!!! Pensé que sólo vendrían los 4! Haber si "los deja" ir donde ustedes quieran. Good luck with that!
Good to know Carlos got his passport, now, we have to wait for yours!
I think your "ideas" on how to blend over here will work. Believe it or not, we have a lot of gringuitos walking around. But like I said before… be VERY careful when you go to Soyapango.
Do you know where you'll be staying?
I really hope you have a great time here and those memories from the '99 trip queden en el olvido!
That's what I was wondering….would Suegra come or would she stay to "house-sit"? Maybe you can leave her with others who will entertain her? Or will you have to stay with her?
So glad things are coming together. I'm sure yours will be in the mail shortly too. How fun!
I am glad your trip is coming together. I hate when (some) latino men do not grace me with eye contact as I am Speaking to them. Glad your passports arrived. Two weeks wow, how exciting
Sounds like you have an interesting vacation coming! How exciting! Which reminds me I need a passaport…one of these days :)
I do know about passport problems…I know you'll be relieved when yours is in your hand. I'm so excited about your trip…even if suegra comes. It's still going to be great!!
So here's our little trick with luggage…we duct tape a big 'x' on the side of each bag. That way we can see them real quick when they come off the belt….sometimes I think they might look suspicious like that, but we've never had any problems with our bags. We always take clothing that the kids have out grown to give to their cousins (well, along with sale stuff from Old Navy as presents) then we have room to bring cool stuff back with us. Can't wait to hear all your stories!!
That's so awesome that you are that much closer to your trip!
Don't freak out about the blending in part. The country has changed quite a bit since my first visit back in '98. I remember that back then, it was a true rarity to hear anyone speak English and/or see 'gringos.' Nowadays, not quite as much.
People are a bit more accustomed to seeing foreigners around San Salvador, but even down on the coast it is no longer such a rarity as a lot of folks like to hang out there for the surf. On that note, people are generally receptive to differing levels of Spanish.
You'll laugh at this, but one of the best ways to not seem so 'foreign' is to throw in one of our colorful sayings in casual conversations, i.e. "Esa mierda no me gusta!" or "Que putas, cuando llegue, ya estaba cerrada la tienda!"
Some things I would strongly encourage you not to do (not that I am saying you are in the habit of doing it otherwise), are: wear jewelry, unless you are OK with it being stolen. Not that it'll happen for sure, but it wouldn't be a surprise.
Secondly, if your kids bring iPods, etc., don't wear them while out in the streets. It is a safety hazard (won't hear traffic) and draws unwanted attention.
Lastly, I am sure you'll laugh at this, but I've seen it done countless times: don't wear clothes you wouldn't wear to go the park. I've seen people wear leather jackets and 5 inch stilettos. Dumb.
Wow Tracy, I'm soooooo jealous!!!! I love when my husband shares memories from his country. El Salvador must be an incredible place. I can't wait to see pictures and hear all about your trip!
It used to be so easy to apply for a passport in France, you'd just show up and ask for it. And they are valid for 10 years. I still have mine from 2003 but I rarely use it now.
Now, on the other side, I found applying for a Canadian passport more difficult than applying for Canadian citizenship! My my, so many specific requirements… it's funny that a lot of countries don't meet North America's strict security standards. My 2003 French passport has the picture simply glued on the passport. That's how they used to be! I think they changed that the last few years, now it's scanned and inprinted within the passport.
Como siempre me haces reir! Have fuN!! Good luck blending in! :)
I'm so excited for you guys! I can't wait to hear about your trip and see pics! Maybe suegra will visit with some friends and you, Carlos, and the boys can go do somethings together. Be safe and have tons of fun amiga!

"Ho de do, Ho de do" Kobe trying to catch an elevator
16 Classic Kobe Quotes to Get You Through the Postseason
Kobe Bryant's appropriately passionate Facebook post from last weekend served as a reminder that the tendon gods haven't just deprived us of a star player this postseason—they've also removed from the spotlight basketball's most refreshingly honest and acerbic personality. In case you find yourself longing for a Kobe-ism during what is only the second playoffs since 1995-96 that won't include him, here are 16 of Mamba's finer sound bites.
"When I have the chance to guard Michael Jordan, I want to guard him. I want him. It's the ultimate challenge."
- Reportedly from December 1997
"The whole Michael thing does drive me nuts sometimes because people won't leave it alone. He's bald, I have hair. He's almost 40, I'm 22. Seriously though, I wish people would let it be and let me just be Kobe."
- From a 2001 interview with Basketball Digest
"I'm not changing my game whatsoever. I take good shots, hit the open man when he's there. I definitely don't need advice on how to play my game."
- From an October 26, 2003 LA Times story that explored the growing rift between Bryant and Shaq.
"I was just letting them fly … You know I don't leave any bullets in the chamber.
- After Bryant tallied 48 points in a January 7, 2006 game against the 76ers. (Later in the interview Bryant told the reporter, who had been asking about his leggings, "You're looking at my legs too much. You've got serious problems.")
"Better learn not to talk to me. You shake the tree, a leopard's gonna fall out."
- Aimed at JR Smith, who had directed some choice words at Bryant during a 2008 Lakers-Nuggets playoff game. Kobe finished with 49 points and 10 assists.
"I baptized him. I turned him into a defensive player."
- Discussing Dwight Howard in May 2008
"Not bad for seventh best player in the league."
-After Bryant scored 48 points—the most-ever by a player in his 16th season—during a January 10, 2012 game against the Suns, he made sure ESPN knew how he felt about where they ranked him on their top-500-players list.
"I don't give a [expletive] what you say. If I go out there and miss game winners, and people say, 'Kobe choked, or Kobe is seven for whatever in pressure situations.' Well, [expletive] you. Because I don't play for your [expletive] approval."
-From a May 2012 interview with Yahoo! Sports
"The master and the future"
"[Smush Parker is] the worst. He shouldn't have been in the NBA but we were too cheap to pay for a point guard. So we let him walk on."
- October 10, 2012, in an Orange Country Register story that reflected on the 2005-06 season
"Are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? … I'd rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that's just not reality. … I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success."
- October 13, 2012, on Facebook
"Would people be celebrating me if I scored 138 points? You know how it is, some people would, some people wouldn't. They can all kiss my a– as I'm sure he feels the same way. If you score 138 points, you kind of have a license to tell people to f— off."
- November 20, 2012, after an unidentified reporter asked Kobe if people would celebrate him if he, like Grinnell College's Jack Taylor, were to score 139 points in a game.
Watching the game now, the easy shots I missed, I could of had 100 pts! #countonkobe—
Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) January 22, 2013
- While watching, on the seventh anniversary of his 81-point barrage, video of that game for the first time.
Amnesty THAT—
Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) February 24, 2013
- In reference to Mark Cuban's comments days earlier that the Lakers should consider using their amnesty clause on Kobe after this season. Bryant went on to drop 38 points 12 rebounds and 7 assists in a win against the Mavs.
"It's not like when Shaq and I were feuding. We didn't want to be around each other. With me and Dwight, that's just not the situation. It's not like we're best friends either, but it's a good understanding I think."
- In a March 10, 2013 interview with Michael Wilbon about a reported feud with Dwight Howard
"Emotional? Save the emotional shit for when you retire. Please."
- On March 11, 2013, directed at media members who were referring to Howard's return to Orlando as "emotional".
How about, "You will never see me in a Lakers uniform again"?
"I was just letting them fly … You know I don't leave any bullets in the chamber." - Kobe Bryant after his rape
Kobe "Duh, wanna get raped ho"?
@SukeMadiq More likely "yeah, come on in." Rape? Good one.
She was only in the room 5 minutes total, your boy is a premature ejaculater!
@SukeMadiq He ain't my boy any more than the hotel employee/alleged victim is your girl. Were you there to experience all of those 5 minutes or are you simply speculating/fantasizing?

SCA Student Handbook
2013 - 2014
The Sage College of Albany Student Handbook contains detailed information about on-campus organizations and events, policies and procedures, and key services available to students.
For more information, contact the Dean of Students at (518) 292-1753.
Please download the following pdf file to view the Student Handbook.
Student Handbook PDF
Code of Conduct:
I. Student Conduct Code
The Colleges reaffirm the principle of student freedom coupled with an acceptance of full responsibility for individual action and the consequences of such action. Thus, this Student Conduct Code has been written to set forth the terms of the relationship between the student and The Sage Colleges (TSC) with respect to disciplinary matters. It is an outgrowth of the duty of the Colleges to protect their educational purposes by setting standards of scholarship and behavior. Membership in The Sage Colleges' community necessitates compliance with regulations and procedures established by governing bodies. These regulations are essential for the maintenance of an atmosphere of learning in which the community's academic and social standards can be upheld. Students, faculty and administrators share, according to College governance, the responsibility for the legislation, implementation, and enforcement of these College regulations. Each member of the College community, both in residence and those taking online and hybrid courses, is expected to uphold this individual and community responsibility, and must take action to uphold College regulations. All individuals in the Colleges' community are expected to maintain integrity in all endeavors and respect the rights of others.
II. Jurisdiction of The Sage Colleges
1. Generally, TSC jurisdiction and discipline may be imposed for conduct which occurs on the Colleges' premises or as part of Colleges' sponsored or sanctioned off-premises activities, such as college sponsored housing (ex. University Heights College Suites), co-curricular activities, extracurricular activities, internships, field placements, co-curricular or off-campus trips, general research, or for conduct which in and of itself adversely affects TSC community and/or the pursuit of its objectives. Students enrolled in a course offered in the online or hybrid formats are subject to the same jurisdiction and discipline as students attending class in a Sage classroom.
2. It is The Sage Colleges' intent to leave disciplinary action with respect to off-campus offenses of students to civil authorities. It must be noted, however, that there are certain off-campus offenses that by their very nature are in the interest of The Sage Colleges to investigate and adjudicate. In such cases, which shall be determined solely at the discretion of the Colleges, The Sage Colleges reserves the right to take appropriate action.
III. Definitions
1. The terms "College" and "Colleges" mean any one of The Sage Colleges: (TSC)-Russell Sage College, Sage Graduate Schools, or Sage College of Albany.
2. The term "student" includes all persons taking courses at TSC, both full-time and part-time, online or in-person, pursuing undergraduate, graduate or professional studies, commuting to campus or residing in College residence halls. Persons who withdraw after allegedly violating the Student Conduct Code, who are not officially enrolled for a particular term but who have a continuing relationship with TSC or who have been notified of their acceptance for admission, are considered "students." Any individual who has been awarded a degree from the Colleges will be considered a "student" to the extent that, prior to receiving the degree, the individual committed fraud, misrepresentation, or another violation of TSC standards in obtaining the degree, or committed other serious misconduct prior to receiving the degree.
3. The "Vice President for Student Life" is the senior officer designated by the President of TSC to be responsible for the administration of the Student Conduct Code. The Vice President, or his or her designee, is responsible for the day to day administration of the Student Conduct Code.
4. The term "faculty member" means any person hired by TSC to conduct classroom activities.
5. The term "TSC official" includes any person employed by TSC, performing assigned administrative or professional responsibilities.
6. The term "member of the College community" includes any person who is a student, faculty member, TSC official or any person employed by TSC. A person's status in a particular situation shall be determined by the Vice President for Student Life.
7. The term "TSC premises" includes all land, buildings, facilities, vehicles, and other property used, or in the possession of, or owned or controlled by TSC (including adjacent streets and sidewalks.)
8. The term "organization" means any number of persons who have complied with the formal requirements for TSC recognition.
9. The term "complainant" means the College on behalf of an individual or department in TSC community.
10. The term "co-complainant" means the member of the College community who may have initiated the complaint.
11. The term "Student Conduct Board" means any one person or persons authorized by the Vice President for Student Life to determine whether a student has violated the Student Conduct Code and, if so, to recommend imposition of sanctions. Such panel shall be appointed on a case-by-case basis, and, if consisting of more than one person, may consist of a Student Conduct Administrator, one or more, but not more than three, faculty members from a list of candidates provided by the Council of Faculty and one or more, but not more than three, students from a list of candidates provided by the applicable student government and other sources. In cases of a Student Conduct Board of more than one person, the Student Conduct Administrator shall serve as chair with one vote. (In the case of residence life/student life violations, the Student Conduct Board may consist solely of students.) The total number of members of the Student Conduct Board must be an odd number.
12. The term "Student Conduct Administrator" means a member of the faculty or professional staff authorized on a case-by-case basis by the Vice President for Student Life to impose sanctions upon students found to have violated the Student Conduct Code. Nothing shall prevent the Vice President for Student Life from authorizing the same Student Conduct Administrator to impose sanctions in more than one case.
13. The term "Appellate Board" means any one person or persons authorized by the Vice President for Student Life to consider an appeal from a Student Conduct Board's determination or from the sanctions imposed by the Student Conduct Administrator. Such board shall be appointed by the Vice President for Student Life on a case-by-case basis and may consist of a single faculty or administrative Student Conduct Administrator or a two to five member panel of administrator(s), faculty member(s) (chosen from a list of TSC faculty who have been designated by the Council of Faculty to serve in this capacity), and student(s) (chosen from a list of candidates submitted by the applicable student government or other sources).
14. The term "shall" is used in the imperative sense.
15. The term "may" is used in the permissive sense.
16. The term "policy" is defined as the written regulations of TSC as found in, but not limited to, the Student Conduct Code, Residence Life policies, Student Life policies, the Student Handbooks, and TSC Catalog.
17. The term "cheating" is defined in appendix A.
18. The term "plagiarism" is defined in appendix A.
19. The term "residence life violation" means any violation of the Residence Life policies.
20. The term "student life violation" means any violation of the Student Life policies.
IV. Conduct-Rules and Regulations
A.

32. Acts of complicity; aiding, abetting, attempting, conspiring, hiring, willfully encouraging or being an accessory to any violation of TSC Code of Conduct.
B. Violation of Law and TSC Discipline
1. TSC disciplinary proceedings may be instituted against a student charged with conduct that potentially violates both the criminal law and this Student Conduct Code without regard to the pendency of civil or criminal litigation in court or criminal arrest or prosecution. Proceedings under this Code may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings off-campus at the discretion of the Vice President for Student Life. Determinations made or sanctions imposed under this Student Conduct Code shall not be subject to change because criminal charges arising out of the same facts giving rise to violation of TSC rules were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of or against the criminal law defendant.
2. When a student is charged by federal, state or local authorities with a violation of law, the College will not request or agree to special consideration for that individual because of his or her status as a student. If the alleged offense is also the subject of a proceeding before a Student Conduct Board or Appellate Board under the Student Conduct Code, however, the College may advise off-campus authorities of the existence of the Student Conduct Code and of how such matters will be handled internally within the College community. TSC will cooperate fully with law enforcement and other agencies in the enforcement of criminal law on campuses and in the conditions imposed by criminal courts for the rehabilitation of student violators (provided that the conditions do not conflict with campus rules or sanctions). Individual members of the College community, acting in their personal capacities, remain free to interact with governmental representatives as they deem appropriate.
3. Where an interim suspension is imposed in a case involving the arrest of the accused student, the College may require the matter to be resolved in full prior to the pending Student Conduct Code case being heard on its merits.
V. Student Conduct Policies
A. Charges and Hearings
1. Any member of TSC community or the Colleges on their own may file charges against any student for misconduct. Charges shall be prepared in writing and directed to the Vice President for Student Life as soon as possible.
2. The Vice President for Student Life will determine a) whether or not the alleged misconduct is within the purview of the Student Conduct Code; and b) the appropriate hearing body.
3. The Student Conduct Administrator may conduct an investigation to determine if the charges have merit and/or if they can be disposed of administratively by mutual consent of the parties involved on a basis acceptable to the Student Conduct Administrator. Such disposition shall be final and there should be no subsequent proceedings. If the charges are not admitted and/or cannot be disposed of by mutual consent, the Student Conduct Administrator may later serve in the same matter as the Student Conduct Board or a member thereof. If the student admits violating institutional rules, but sanctions are not agreed to, subsequent process, including a hearing if necessary, shall be limited to determining the appropriate sanction(s).
4. All charges shall be presented to the accused student in written form. A time shall be set for a hearing, not less than five (5) nor more than fifteen (15) business days after the student has been notified. Minimum and maximum time limits for scheduling of hearings may be modified at the discretion of the Vice President for Student Life.
5. If any disciplinary action is pending against a student, degrees, grade reports, and transcripts will not be issued until the matter is resolved.
6. If the student withdraws from TSC while student conduct proceedings are in process, the student does so with charges pending. The Colleges reserve the right to adjudicate those charges when/if the student returns to TSC.
7. Hearings shall be conducted by the Student Conduct Board according to the following guidelines:
a. Hearings normally shall be conducted in private.
b. The complainant, accused student, the co-complainant, and their advisor(s), if any, shall be allowed to attend the entire portion of the Student Conduct Board Hearing at which information is presented. Admission of any other person to the Student Conduct Board hearing shall be at the discretion of the Student Conduct Board and/or its Student Conduct Administrator.
c. In Student Conduct Board Hearings involving more than one accused student, the Student Conduct Administrator, at his or her discretion, may permit the Student Conduct Board Hearings concerning each student to be conducted either separately or jointly.
d. Any co-complainant and the accused have the right to be assisted by an advisor who is a member of the College community, but who is not an attorney. The co-complainant and/or the accused student is responsible for presenting his or her own information, and therefore, advisors are not permitted to speak or to participate directly in any Student Conduct Board Hearing before a Student Conduct Board. A student should select as an advisor a person whose schedule allows attendance at the scheduled date and time for the Student Conduct Board Hearing because delays will not normally be allowed due to the scheduling conflicts of an advisor. The selection of an advisor is the responsibility of the co-complainant or accused student.
e. The complainant(s), co-complainant, the accused student and the Student Conduct Board may arrange for witnesses to present pertinent information to the Student Conduct Board at the discretion of the Student Conduct Administrator. The College will try to arrange the attendance of possible witnesses who are members of the Sage community, if reasonably possible, and who are identified by the complainant, accused student, and/or the co-complainant, at least two weekdays prior to the Student Conduct Board Hearing. Witnesses will provide information to and answer questions from the Student Conduct Board. Questions may be suggested by the accused student, co-complainant, and/or complainant to be answered by each other or by other witnesses. This will be conducted by the Student Conduct Board with such questions directed to the Student Conduct Administrator, rather than to the witness directly. This method is used to preserve the educational tone of the hearing and to avoid creation of an adversarial environment. Questions of whether potential information will be received shall be resolved at the discretion of the Student Conduct Administrator.
f. Pertinent records, exhibits, and written statements (including Student Impact Statements, written statements made by members of the Colleges' community dealing with the impact that the accused student's conduct has had on a particular student or students or upon TSC students in general) may be accepted as information for consideration by a Student Conduct Board at the discretion of the Student Conduct Administrator. The Board will hear one character witness and will accept one letter supporting the character of the accused student.
g. All procedural questions are subject to the final decision of the Student Conduct Administrator at his/her discretion.
h. After the portion of the Student Conduct Board Hearing concludes in which all pertinent information has been received, the Student Conduct Board shall determine (by majority vote if the Student Conduct Board consists of more than one person) whether the accused student has violated each section of the Student Conduct Code which the student is charged with violating.
i. The Student Conduct Board's determination shall be made on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that the accused student violated the Student Conduct Code.
j. When requested, a student must appear before a Student Conduct Board, Appellate Board or College official for the purposes of providing information relevant to a Student Conduct Code proceeding. Failure to appear or willful failure or refusal to provide such information, unless it will result in self-incrimination, may result in student conduct action, at the discretion of the Student Conduct Administrator. The Student Conduct Board may draw a negative inference from the failure or refusal to provide information, even if such failure or refusal is due to concerns about self-incrimination.
k. Formal rules of process, procedure, and/or technical rules of evidence, such as those which are applied in criminal or civil court, are not used in Student Conduct Code proceedings.
8. There shall be a single verbatim record, such as a tape recording, of all Student Conduct Board Hearings before a Student Conduct Board (not including deliberations). The record shall be the property of TSC.
9. If an accused student, with notice, does not appear at a Student Conduct Board Hearing, the information in support of the charges shall be presented and considered, even if the accused student is not present.
10. The Student Conduct Board may accommodate concerns for the personal safety, well-being and/or fears of confrontation of the complainant, co-complainant, accused student, and/or other witness during the hearing by providing separate facilities, by using a visual screen, and/or permitting participation by telephone, video tape, written statement or other means, where and as determined in the sole judgment of the Vice President for Student Life to be appropriate.
11. The co-complainant may be permitted to withdraw his or her complaint subsequent to its submission to the Vice President for Student Life, if, and only if, the Vice President for Student Life is satisfied that the co-complainant's decision is not the result of pressure or intimidation. If the Vice President for Student Life allows the complaint to be withdrawn, no Student Conduct Board Hearing will be held. In the event that the complaint is allowed to be withdrawn after a Hearing has been completed, the Hearing shall cease and no determination will be made. In the event that the complaint is allowed to be withdrawn after the Hearing has been completed, any determination or sanctions will be reversed automatically. If the Vice President for Student Life does not allow the complaint to be withdrawn, the Student Conduct Board Hearing will proceed under the normal process; the Board will disregard the attempted withdrawal of the complaint in making its determinations and recommending sanctions.
12. If the accused student or the co-complainant wishes to challenge the placement of any member(s) of the Student Conduct Board, he or she must raise this issue at the start of the Student Conduct Board Hearing. The Student Conduct Administrator, as chair, will hear the reasons for any such challenge. If the Student Conduct Board consists of only one individual, that individual must bring the challenge to the attention of the Vice President for Student Life, who will hear the reasons for such challenge. Any deliberations before the Student Conduct Board as to the challenge should be made without the accused student or the co-complainant present. The Student Conduct Administrator, or, if applicable, the Vice President for Student Life, will determine whether to support the challenge. Any member(s) so removed will be replaced as quickly as possible by the Vice President for Student Life, or, in the case of a Student Conduct Board made up of multiple individuals, the Student Conduct Board Hearing may simply proceed without the removed member, at the discretion of the Vice President for Student Life.
B. Sanctions
1. The following sanctions may be imposed upon any student found to have violated the Student Conduct Code:
a. Warning- A notice in writing to the student that the student is violating or has violated institutional regulations.
b. Disciplinary Probation -A written reprimand for violation of specified regulations. Probation is for a designated period of time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary sanctions if the student is found to be violating any institutional regulation(s) during the period.
c. Loss of Privileges-Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time.
d. Fines- Previously established fines may be imposed.

l. Expulsion-Permanent separation from the College, without refund.
m. Revocation of Degree-TSC may revoke an issued degree due to fraud, misrepresentation, or other violation of TSC standards in obtaining the degree, or for other serious violations committed by a student prior to graduation.
n. Withholding Degree – TSC may withhold awarding a degree otherwise earned until the completion of the process set forth in this Student Conduct Code, including the completion of all sanctions imposed, if any.
o. Prohibition from Professional Practice – TSC may take any and all steps it deems necessary to prohibit, limit, or monitor the current or future practice of a profession by an individual found to have committed misconduct (i.e. notifying the appropriate agency overseeing the profession).
p. Mandatory Assessment/Counseling –The Student Conduct Administrator may order a student to participate in psychological counseling or assessment, either on-campus or off-campus. Failure to attend or actively participate in good faith in counseling sessions may warrant the imposition of additional or different sanctions.
q. Sanctions for academic dishonesty may include:
1. A written reprimand
2. A zero or "F" on the assignment(s) involved
3. An "F" in the class involved
4. Revocation or a change of grade
5. Suspension from the College for one term
6. Suspension from the College for one year
7. Permanent dismissal from the College
8. Revocation of degree
2. More than one of the sanctions listed above may be imposed for any single violation.
3. If a student is found responsible for repeat violations of the same or similar charges, sanctions issued will be more severe in light of the repeat nature of the offense.
4. Other than College suspension or expulsion, prohibition from professional practice or revocation of degree, disciplinary sanctions shall not be made part of the student's permanent academic record, but shall become part of the student's confidential record. Upon graduation, the student's confidential record may be expunged of disciplinary actions other than residence-hall expulsion, College suspension or expulsion, upon application to the Vice President for Student Life. Cases involving the imposition of sanctions other than residence hall expulsion, College suspension or College expulsion shall be expunged from the student's confidential record 2 years after final disposition of the case or upon graduation-whichever shall last occur.
5. In situations involving both an accused student(s) and a student(s) claiming to be the victim of another student's conduct, the records of the process and of the sanctions imposed, if any, shall be considered to be the educational records of both the accused student and the student claiming to be the victim because the educational career and chances of success in the academic community of each may be impacted.
6. The following sanctions may be imposed upon groups or organizations:
a. Those sanctions listed above in Section B1, (a) through (f).
b. Deactivation-Loss of all privileges, including TSC recognition, for a specified period of time.
7. In each case in which a Student Conduct Administrator determines that a student has violated the Student Conduct Code, the sanction(s) shall be determined and imposed by the Student Conduct Administrator. In cases decided by a Student Conduct Board, the recommendation of all members of the panel shall be considered by the Student Conduct Administrator in determining and imposing the sanction(s). Following the hearing, the Student Conduct Administrator shall advise the accused student in writing of his or her determination and of the sanction(s) imposed, if any. The Vice President for Student Life shall receive a copy of this letter.
C. Interim Suspension
In certain circumstances, the Vice President for Student Life, or a designee, may impose a College suspension prior to the hearing before a Student Conduct Board.
1. Interim suspension may be imposed only: a) to ensure the immediate safety and well-being of members of TSC community or preservation of TSC property; or b) to ensure the student's own immediate physical or emotional safety and well-being; or c) if the student poses an immediate threat of disruption of, or interference with, the normal operations of TSC.
2. During the interim suspension, students shall be denied access to the campus (including classes) and/or all other College activities or privileges for which the student might otherwise be eligible, as the Vice President for Student Life or his or her designee may determine to be appropriate.
3. In the case of residence hall violations where the Vice President for Student Life or a designee determines that interim suspension from the residence hall is warranted, the Vice President for Student Life may allow the student to attend classes and participate in campus activities that are not conducted in the residence hall.
4. The student should be notified in writing of this action and the reasons for the suspension. The notice should include the time, date, and place of a subsequent hearing at which the student may show cause why his or her continued presence on the campus does not constitute a threat and at which time he or she may contest whether a campus rule was violated.
D. Appeals to an Appellate Board
1. A decision reached by the Student Conduct Board or a sanction imposed by the Student Conduct Administrator may be appealed by the accused student(s), the co-complainant, or the complainant to an Appellate Board within two (2) business days of the decision. Such appeals shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Vice President for Student Life. Upon receipt of an appeal, the Vice President for Student Life will confirm that the appeal is supported by one of the reasons listed in section D.2.a-d.
2. Appeals can be requested for one or more of the following determinations:
a. whether the penalty is inappropriate to the finding;
b. whether the finding is supported by the evidence;
c. whether the student's procedural rights as specified in the Student Conduct Code were violated;
d. whether new evidence, which was unavailable at the original proceeding, has been discovered.
3. A copy of the hearing transcript shall be made available to the appellant as soon as it is available. The appellant shall present his/her reasons for appeal with supporting documentation within five (5) business days after review of the transcript.
4. The Vice President for Student Life shall appoint an Appellate Board under the procedures in Section III, item 13. The transcripts and all case documentation shall be delivered to each member of the Appellate Board. The Vice President for Student Life shall convene an Appellate Board within ten (10) days of request.
5. The Appellate Board shall reach a determination within ten (10) business days of receiving the appeal. Except as required to explain the basis of new evidence, an appeal shall be limited to review of the verbatim record of the initial hearing and supporting documents.
6. In cases involving appeals by accused students to the Appellate Board, review of the sanction by the Appellate Board may not result in more severe sanction(s) for the accused student.
7. In cases involving appeals by persons other than students accused of violating the Student Conduct Code, the Appellate Board may, upon review of the case, find that a violation of the Student Conduct Code did occur, reduce or increase the sanctions imposed by the Student Conduct Board, remand the case to the original officer or Student Conduct Board, recommend the appointment of a new Student Conduct Administrator, affirm or reverse the judgment of the original Student Conduct Administrator or Board, or dismiss the case in its entirety.

Adapted from The Journal of College and University Law, Volume 31, Fall 2004. Revised: May 2005, July 2008, June 2009, June 2010, July 2011, June 2012, July 2013.
Appendix A
Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is a core value at The Sage Colleges and is a necessary element to the learning process. It is also fundamental to the atmosphere of inquiry and intellectual curiosity that TSC seeks to foster. It is an assumption that learning is taken seriously by students and that the academic work that students produce is a direct result of the commitment of the student toward learning as well as the personal knowledge gained. As part of the Student Code of Conduct that all students are responsible to uphold, the following is the section related to academic integrity.
Academic Dishonesty/Misconduct
Academic dishonesty and misconduct violate the essential mission of an academic institution. Academic dishonesty and misconduct in any of its forms will not be tolerated at The Sage Colleges. Examples of academic dishonesty/misconduct include:
· Using material not authorized by the instructor to complete an exam;
· Knowingly doing another person's academic work;
· Presenting the written ideas, representations, or words of another without citing the appropriate sources;
· Failing to cooperate in the investigation of any student being accused of academic dishonesty/misconduct.
Academic Dishonesty/Misconduct Definitions:
1) Cheating: Using or attempting to use unauthorized material in any academic exercise. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
a) use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or examinations;
b) consulting or copying from any source beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments;
c) the acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of TSC community;
d) disclosing, distributing ,making accessible, or improperly accessing confidential information acquired in the conduct of course work, on- or off-campus employment, internships, field placements, or serving as a research assistant;
e) failing to obtain Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval before beginning any research, including surveys or questionnaires, with human subjects, or failing to comply with IRB requirements;
f) unauthorized use of computer equipment or software.
2) Plagiarism: presenting the work of another as one's own without proper citation, or altering or inventing any information or citation in any academic exercise.
3) Multiple Submissions: submitting substantial portions of the same academic work for credit more than once without authorization.
4) Complicity in academic dishonesty/misconduct: intentionally helping or attempting to help another commit an act of academic dishonesty/misconduct; unauthorized collaboration on any academic work.
5) Abuse of Materials: damaging, destroying, stealing, or in any way obstructing access to library or other academic resource material or academic record.
6) Alteration: changing or attempting to change a grade or signature given by an instructor.
Process for Responding to Academic Dishonesty/Misconduct
1) A faculty member may take any of the following disciplinary actions when a student engages in an act of academic misconduct:
· A written reprimand;
· A zero or "F" on the assignment(s) involved;
· A "F" in the class involved;
· Revocation or a change of grade.
Any sanction, other than those listed here, may be issued by the institution only, not by an individual faculty member.
A faculty member imposing discipline on a student for academic dishonesty/misconduct should take the following steps:
i. Determine whether it is more likely than
not that the student is responsible for academic
dishonesty and/or misconduct.
ii. Faculty members are encouraged to consult with the
accused student in an effort to informally address the
alleged academic dishonesty/misconduct.
iii. Notify the accused student of the charge of academic
dishonesty/misconduct. The student should be
notified in writing with a copy to the Academic Dean
and the Dean of Students. The written notification
should include a brief description of the alleged
misconduct that forms the basis of the charge, the
sanction to be imposed (limited to the four (4)
penalties listed above), and a description of the
appeal options available to the student.
2) If the violation warrants consideration of a more severe remedy, the faculty member should contact the Vice President for Student Life to file formal charges and request the initiation of the student conduct hearing process.
3) In cases where more than two students are involved in the same alleged violation, the faculty member must forward the case directly to the Vice President for Student Life. The Vice President for Student Life will review the matter and determine if it is of an extraordinary nature. After review, the Vice President for Student Life will either refer the case back to the faculty member for immediate action, or refer it to a Student Conduct Board. In either case, the assignment of final grades is determined by the faculty member. As with all other grades, the academic appeal process is available to a student who wishes to question the grade assigned.
4) If the matter is referred to a Student Conduct Board, the faculty member and the College will serve as co-complainants and the matter will move forward as described in the Student Code of Conduct.
5) In the case of repeat academic dishonesty/misconduct, the Academic Dean of the College may contact the Vice President for Student Life to request that charges be filed against the student. The Dean of the College may serve as co-complainant in any resulting Student Conduct Board Hearing.
1. If a student wishes to appeal a grade assigned by a faculty member, based on a finding that the student engaged in academic dishonesty/misconduct, the student may utilize the academic appeals process.
The process is as follows:
a. The student should submit a formal written appeal, with rationale, within 2 business days of receiving the decision from the faculty member to the department chair/program coordinator in the subject area. The department chair/program coordinator has 10 days to make a decision on this appeal.
b. If the student is not in agreement with the decision from the department chair/program coordinator, they may appeal, within 2 business days, to the Dean of the College in which the course resides. The Dean has 10 days to make a decision on this appeal.
c. If the student is not in agreement with the decision from the Dean, a final appeal may be made, within 2 business days, to the Provost of The Sage Colleges.
2. If a student wishes to appeal a sanction imposed through the Student Conduct Board Hearing process, the student may utilize the appeals process set forth in the Student Conduct Code in Section V, D.

President Barack Obama, standing before a full session of Congress within the U.S. Capitol, accused the U.S. Supreme Court of opening "the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations" through its 5-4 ruling last week in the case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. A visably agitated Justice Samuel Alito, sitting just feet away from Obama as he delivered the presidential State of the Union address, shook his head, made a face and appeared to mouth "simply not true."
- Across the Nation, Big Money Congressional Races Heat UpOctober 21, 2009 11:32 AM
The South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District is currently the most expensive House race in the country, but it's not the only place in the country where strong third quarter fund-raising totals show incumbents and challengers eagerly battling each other.
- Joe Wilson's 'You Lie' Outburst Helps Bring South Carolina Candidates More Than $4 Million During Third QuarterOctober 19, 2009 12:27 PM
Two little words raised millions for the candidates off South Carolina's 2nd Congressional District. The brouhaha over the "you lie" outburst from Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) during President Barack Obama's healthcare address to Congress in September was a fund-raising boon to both Wilson and his Democratic opponent, Rob Miller.
- Capital Eye Opener: Wednesday, October 14October 14, 2009 10:00 AM
MO' MONEY, MO' MONEY: It's the eve of the next round of federal campaign finance filings, and we're as curious as anyone as to who will win the award as the nation's most notable campaign fund-raiser for the third quarter of this year.
- Capital Eye Opener: Wednesday, October 7October 7, 2009 6:00 AM
CASTLE ON A (SENATE) CLOUD: Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del.) announced yesterday that he intends to run for the Senate seat left vacant by Vice President Joe Biden, turning the race into "one of the top races in the country," said National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn (R-Texas), according to The Hill. Cornyn also hinted that the race would be expensive.
- Capital Eye Opener: Monday, October 5October 5, 2009 10:15 AM
REPUBLICANS WRANGLE WITH RANGEL'S CONDUCT: Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) has been the center of an ongoing ethics probe and recent calls from Republicans to oust him from his chairmanship of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee means the spotlight isn't going to dim any time soon.
- Capital Eye Opener: Wednesday, September 16September 16, 2009 8:00 AM
Just as Dwight Eisenhower had the Irving Berlin-penned I Like Ike, and Bill Clinton had Fleetwood Mac's Don't Stop, we here at Capital Eye humbly submit the following suggestions for Rep. Joe Wilson's re-election campaign song:
- Republicans Give Rep. Joe Wilson Support -- and Campaign Cash -- As House Sanctions Congressman's 'You Lie' ShoutSeptember 15, 2009 6:52 PM
All but seven Republicans stood by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) and voted against a Congressional resolution to disapprove of his "you lie" outburst last week. Several of them, including much of the House Republican leadership, have also backed Wilson with financial support in recent years.
- Rep. Joe Wilson's Comments and Connections Still in the SpotlightSeptember 14, 2009 6:43 PM
Joe Wilson -- the Republican Congressman from South Carolina who is at the center of Washington's latest brouhaha for shouting "you lie" at President Barack Obama during the president's health reform speech before a joint session of Congress -- has long relied on financial support from health-related industries. Two of his top staffers have also lobbied and advocated for health-related clients in recent years.
- No Lie: Rep. Joe Wilson's Money Woes Hit His Wallet HardSeptember 10, 2009 6:46 PM
Partisans offer different takes on the political stock of Rep. Joe Wilson (R - S.C.), who heckled President Barack Obama during his speech before a joint session of Congress Wednesday. However, new personal financial disclosures show his personal net worth is definitely falling -- with somewhere between $375,000 and $815,000 of additional debt since the previous year.
- Capital Eye Opener: Thursday, September 10September 10, 2009 9:55 AM
DOLLARS FOR DISRUPTIONS?: The liberal fundraising group ActBlue is directing individuals to contribute campaign cash to Rob Miller, the Democrat challenging incumbent Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), who shouted "you lie" during the president's address. So far, they've helped Miller raise more than $100,000 since last night.

All students entering grades 7 through 12 must provide proof of immunization against whooping cough (also known as pertussis) for the upcoming school year. In light of California's recent whooping cough epidemic, this is even more important to protect students and their families.
"The best way to get the pertussis vaccine, called 'Tdap', is through your family's health care provider since they can also provide any other needed vaccines and care," said Dr. Richard Burton, Placer County Health Officer. "However, the new school year is approaching quickly, so Placer County has been offering low-cost Tdap vaccine clinics during August for those students that would otherwise be unable to obtain the vaccine before school," he added.
Placer County will also be offering additional Tdap vaccine clinics for the North Tahoe and Truckee area in collaboration with the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District. There is no cost for the vaccine due to support from the California Department of Public Health for these school-based clinics. The vaccine will be offered at the following locations:
Truckee High School – Aug. 22nd 3-7 PM
11725 Donner Pass Rd., Truckee
North Tahoe School – Aug. 23 10-2 PM
2945 Polaris Rd., Tahoe City
Alder Creek Middle School August 25 4-6 PM10931 Alder Dr., Truckee
Vaccinating students will be the priority at these clinics; however, others may also be able to get the vaccine if supplies last.
Tdap immunization now will not only meet new school requirements, but will also help protect all children from the threat of pertussis by reducing the possibility of spread to others. Whooping cough can be debilitating to anyone, but young infants are the most vulnerable to severe illness from this infectious disease.
The new requirement applies to students in both public and private schools – all 7th-12th graders will need documentation of having received this vaccine since their 7th birthday. Parents are urged not to wait until school starts – under the new law, these students will need proof of vaccination for the school year that is about to begin.
For more information, please call the Placer County Community Health information line at (530) 889-7161, or check www.placer.ca.gov.

Project Centers
A Global Approach to Improving Our Quality of Life
Through participation at more than 35 Project Centers across the globe, all WPI undergraduates have the opportunity to complete their HUA, IQP, and MQP requirements off campus.
- HUA students immerse themselves in the art, culture, and writings of a particular city/country.
- IQP students work with local organizations to tackle real-life problems and challenges where science and technology meet social issues and human needs.
- MQP students pursue technical projects in their major course of study, frequently in partnership with industry leaders and other universities.
WPI students pursue hands-on, life-changing project opportunities in all corners of the world—close to campus in Worcester, Boston or other U.S. cities, or farther away at WPI Project Centers in Africa, Central America, Asia, Australasia, and Europe. Project work is preceded by rigorous preparation. Students also strive to become familiar with the culture and language.

Yummy yummy – my friend got me addicted to this place. you can tell that they use quality ingredients, it doesnt taste "cheap" like some other places ive ordered from. their thin crust philly is the best, i can usually eat a large by myself! i would recommend this place to anyone looking for great tasting pizza at a good price
GOOD CALZONE – I like traveling and i have been to many places and restaurants around US, and once i had Michaelangelo's calzone large size. It was so delicious. And people that work there were so nice on the phone. I love it
My Review – When I walked in today to order pizza from Michaelangelo's Pizza on Elliston Place they asked me to write a review about the pizza and the service. I ordered large pizza with pepperoni and sausage. I was told that they use real Wisconsin cheese and when we tried the pizza it was tasty. The sauce tastes good, pizza was cheesy and meats are so good. We will try their delivery service next time. But so far we gave them the 5 stars for the pizza and the service.
Great pizza! – GREAT PIZZA!
Delicious Subs – I don't know how people wrote bad reviews. I never had a problem with this place. I always order same thing, the world famous cheesy bread and philly cheese steak sub. Always on time, and delivery guy is very nice and the owners are nice people.
Two Words: Never Again! – I don't want to be mean but this place is bad. Save your money and go to KFC. Wow. How do you mess up pizza. So sad.
bad service, late delivery, overpriced – was told pizza would be here in 45 minutes.Only had to deliver it 3 miles away from their store..pizza showed up over 1 late, when i called all they said was it was on its way. disrespectful, pizza isn't even that good, overpriced, last time i'll get a pizza there
Agree, owners/workers were rude. – Pizza is okay at best and the owners/workers were extremely rude. Refuse to give them any business. Just would like to get the word out.
Gourmet Pizza and Subs – Highly Recommended.
Great place to take a lap top and get some good food at the same time. They have gourmet pizza and subs that are very affordable.
A convenient location for meeting friends, co-workers, or a business client.
Terrible Customer Service – I had went to this place for the lunch buffet one day and like the pizza and thought they were reasonable. I met my friends over there the next saturday, and they were the rudest asssholes u've ever seen to her. First off it looked dark and closed but they were open. And they acted like we were bothering them for trying to come eat. I think it's a front or something for the mob.
