Kaye Matthews Sharon was back on campus in October 2014 to celebrate her 50th anniversary class reunion. Now retired from a career as a psychiatric social worker, Kaye still has many strong memories from her student days but none more powerful than getting the news of President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
The events of that day are etched vividly in her memory, right down to grateful recollections of the gentle nurturing offered by house mothers throughout the day. Kaye says that memory is important because it was "So Emory & Henry." She says, "I will never forget Mrs. Armbrister turning over her parlor to a gaggle of us Academy residents and our guys for hours and hours. I think it was a stew she fixed for us. She hovered in the kitchen doorway, watching the television from an uncomfortable angle, and refused to take the seat that was constantly being offered to her. I remember thinking how she reminded me of my mom."
Kennedy's assassination changed everything: and it changed the course of Kaye's life, resulting in her becoming Emory & Henry's first student to serve in the Peace Corps. Included here is her account of her response to that fateful event.
By Kaye Matthews Sharon, E&H '64:
The doors to the old gymnasium admitted a clawing hand of frigid air that startled players on all four volleyball courts. As the portals clanged shut, the young women nearest had already clumped on either side of their nets like penguins in an artic winter. The physical education instructor ploughed ahead, and games imploded and collapsed. A slim redhead behind the serving line on the last court held the ball in suspension as someone said, "They think he's dead. The President has been shot." Out on the campus, early winter snow had frozen the pathways and the late morning mist still swirled in low areas. Few students had not yet heard as the women dressed and tramped to their groupings. In dorm lounges, student watering holes and the living rooms of rooming houses, faculty and village residents and students alike huddled in shock, awaiting the next revelation as blurry gray-tone images of the convertible, the ambulance and emergency room doors flickered across the nation. Housemothers served soup and homemade cookies. The server and her fiancé sought comfort from each other; a new and lasting form of coronary thrombosis had entered their sheltered universe. Everything was changed.
Several years later, on a Yugoslavian winter evening the communist leader of Svornik left his black Mercedes in front of a small rural tavern and plied the young woman with questions about that November afternoon. He told her his story in unremitting sobs and flung his slivovitz glass to the floor where it shattered with those of the dancers. Europeans across the continent had shared their stories of Kennedy's death with her. She believed that November 22, 1963 had united the world – that is, until a cold Dallas day in 1982 when her brother spun her rapidly around Dealey Plaza by the Texas School Book Depository and intoned: "And from there came the shot that was heard all the way around the block," initiating the demise of their relationship.
The fiancés had taken a U.S. Peace Corps application examination after a recruiter had visited the campus in September of 1963. Both qualified in Spanish. Huddling in front of the black and white television for days after November 22, they planned: they would serve in Latin America, doing something about literacy. They updated their applications and planned their wedding. But the ennui of that winter day had metastasized in both. She had dropped her music major and was perplexed and rootless. He was thinking of Saudi Arabia and money. By graduation they had parted, and her parents encouraged her to move West with them. Soon an invitation to serve in the Peace Corps in Peru followed. She accepted.
No one in the high Andes had ever seen a redhead – and therefore a young Canadian sitting at a corner table watched with interest as she and a colleague drank too much of the national libation and lamented the lackluster U.S. President. The Canadian had spent a decade without familiar companionship, and was delighted with the ferment and encouragement brought by a contingent of American and German and British volunteers. Elegant and stoic, he had watched the selflessness of their service with admiration. He was devastated when President Kennedy was assassinated, for Canada had claimed the Camelot of the U.S. president as a province or its own. After her post-PC year in Europe and across the continents, the two reunited and married. He entered U.C.L.A. and earned a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology.
The assassination of John F. Kennedy propelled a groundswell of altruism in the young of the 1960's. To serve, no matter where, was invigorating and enriching. American volunteers were known everywhere as "Kennedy's kids." That life of service, so indelibly inculcated into Emory and Henry students and solidified on that tragic and frigid day, has beckoned even into progressing age. She was Emory and Henry's first Peace Corps volunteer, touching down in Lima, Peru on Christmas Eve 1964 and providing school children in forty-two Andean villages with a warm breakfast for the next two and a half years. After two masters' degrees she served for decades as a psychiatric social worker, bringing what comfort and support she could to mentally ill people. A former section head of the E & H concert choir, she performed the Dvorak Requiem in Dvorak Hall in Prague in 2013 with the Berkeley Community Chorus and the Czech state orchestra, spreading her college's gift of sublime music wherever she can. The Canadian's trajectory had placed him at the forefront of a movement to protect the botany and traditions of native healers of the Andes – a tandem life of service.
One micro-second in time, when a sniper's bullet bench-marked the lives of millions of individuals across the modern world, changed one college student's altogether. The U.S. Peace Corps was the invention of John F. Kennedy. Inspired with the values of Emory and Henry, she became one of his kids – and that determined everything else. She remains one of Kennedy's kids.
Emory and Henry gives back.

About Me
To met friendly, adventurous people while traveling / learn about the places I travel to from the people who live there.
I live in Portland, Oregon and work as a Audiologist at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). I grew up on the east coast, lived in several cities on the west coast, and attended graduate school in the midwest. I am glad to have lived in and experienced several different areas of U.S.A.
I believe that human beings are meant to move. I have commuted by bicycle exclusively for the past 6 years. Much like the a United States Postal Service employee, I have braved rain, sleet, and snow on my bike and at time it has truly sucked. However, I believe I am a better person because of these experiences. After all, I might be soaking wet and cold, but at least I'm never stuck in traffic :-)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Although I've been a CS member since '08 and so far all of my experiences have been wonderful! Arriving in a new city and hanging out with someone who knows the place has been my favorite aspect of CS. I love exploring and meeting new people. CS has made this easy. Looking forward to more great experiences!
So far I've met up with people in Milwaukee, Asheville, Key West, Beijing, Phoenix, St. Petersburg, and Portland. Everyone I've met has been awesome. They've shared recommendations regarding what to check out in their respective cities and have shown this traveler a wonderful time.

Mini to Release a Street Legal WRC car
Various news outlets are reporting today that Mini Cooper is working on developing a road legal Mini WRC in the near future. Mini Cooper is essentially looking to do with its Mini Countryman WRC rally car the same thing Mitsubishi and Subaru do with the Evo and the STI. The road legal Mini WRC Countryman will have the same All4 all-wheel-drive system, probably a stiffer suspension than the current versions and bigger brakes.
The road legal Mini WRC Countryman might get the same 1.6-litre, four-cylinder Diesel turbo-charged engine as the rally car. However, the engine of the road legal Mini WRC, will probably get a slightly smaller turbo. The one in the Mini WRC is good for 2.5 Bar.
Currently, Mini Cooper has neither confirmed or denied the road legal Mini WRC, so we might just see one for sale in the near future. If we're lucky, we might be able to find road legal Mini WRC for sale for under the 40,000 EUR price tag, is it will ever be a reality.
We'll have more details on the road legal Mini WRC Countryman as soon as they're available.

Find Your Perfect Lipstick | Sephora Australia
There are at least a million reasons to love lipstick. One swipe of your signature shade can turn a whole day around. Or that new hue you've been dying to try suddenly opens up endless never-before-tried look opportunities. Countless colours and textures abound to help you nail the perfect pout, and we have the best of them right here at Sephora from top lipstick brands.
Know Your Texture Type
Different lipsticks deliver different results. As much fun as it is to play around with different textures and finishes, we also like to find one or two we know we'll always love and keep them well stocked. Creamy lipsticks with hydrating benefits are our go-to for everyday lips that look fuller without requiring touch ups throughout the day. Of course, we'll never turn down a true matte lipstick or something with wow-worthy shimmer and shine on special occasions. When it's bold, highly pigmented color we're after (that won't budge or fade), we turn to liquid lipsticks or stains for their weightless staying power. If your lips are on the dry side, explore natural and organic lipstick options.
Meet Your Colour Match
Although there are no hard-and-fast rules about which lipstick colours are best for certain skin tones, we think it's a good idea to play around a bit and find what works for you. Everyone can rock a classic red lipstick, but brighter colors or really dark lipsticks might not work for all tastes or occasions. This year, we're super excited about soft nudes or pinks during the day and rich purples and plums for going out at night. Keep your options open with lipstick sets featuring a range of color options.
Sephora Virtual Artist: Virtual Lipstick Tester
Want more help nailing your ideal lipstick? Try our virtual lipstick tester and get a virtual makeup at Sephora Virtual Artist. The live camera-capture allows you to try on any lipstick or lip gloss you want to compare colours and finishes. Filter by your favorite brands or products types. Mark your favorites to go to back to later. Look up specific shades by name. And nail your perfect lipstick colour and texture.
Shopping online for lipstick as never been so easy (or fun!). Whether it's a signature look you're after, trends right off the runway, or a wild lip colour experiment you can't wait to try, Sephora Australia has the best lipstick shades, finishes, and brands you love.
Luxola Australia IS NOW

Yes, it's a long title for a blog, but I've got to differentiate the types of setup crashes we have been seeing lately. This one I've seen affecting Expression Web 2 and only with computers that have Office 2007 installed on the same machine. Here's a run down of the situation:
When installing Expression Web 2 the install will crash with the following error:
"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.Cannot convert string 'pack://application:,,,/XSetupUI;component/Resources/Icons/Setup.ico' in attribute 'Icon' to object of type 'System.Windows.Media.ImageSource'. No imaging component suitable to complete this operation was found. Error at object 'XSetupUI_InitializationWindow' in markup file 'XSetupUI;component/initializationwindow.xaml'"
followed by:
The log file for this error is going to be pretty short. It will contain the exception mentioned above.
The key to solving this error is this line in the exception:
"No imaging component suitable to complete this operation was found."
Debugging this problem down to the inner exception reveals the exception type to be System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException and HRESULT 0x88982F50 or WINCODEC_ERR_COMPONENTNOTFOUND.
The fact that an imaging component can't be found and the HRESULT points to a missing WINCODEC points to this being a problem with the Windows Imaging Component (WIC), or in this case a lack thereof.
To resolve this issue on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 machines, do the following:
1. Download the Windows Imaging Component from here
Or if you need the full URL it is:
2. On that page you need to click the Continue button to validate your copy of Windows.
3. On English operating systems, the file you want to download is "wic_x86_enu.exe" – the others are localized versions of WIC.
4. Run the install for this file and reboot the machine if the install calls for a reboot, otherwise a reboot is not necessary. Afterward, you should be able to run the install of Expression Studio 2 or Expression Web 2 with no problem.
If you're seeing this problem on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine, try uninstalling and reinstalling the version of the .NET Framework 3.5. On Windows Vista you can uninstall Framework 3.5 from "Programs and Features" in the Control Panel.
On Windows 7, to remove and reinstall Framework 3.5 you will need to go to the Control Panel, click "Turn Windows Features On or Off" on the left of the page and in the "Turn Windows Features On or Off" dialog, click to clear the checkbox next to Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 and click OK. After doing this, a reboot may be required.
To reinstall, open the same Window and click the checkbox to restore the blue square and click OK. This will begin the install process.

Updated: 30/09/2016 - 10:24PM
Last updated at 22:24, 30 Sep 2016 Uploaded at 20:01, 8 May 2013
This mod remeshes/retextures all 13 Standing Stones in Skyrim. Following a color scheme focused on the 3 main constellations - The Warrior, The Mage, & The Thief. Each supporting constellation/charge of the main skill constellations will follow the color scheme of the main constellation they support.
The Warrior = The Lady, The Steed, & The Lord.
The Mage = The Atronach, The Apprentice, & The Ritual.
The Thief = The Shadow, The Lover, The Tower, & The Serpent.
Since The Serpent stone has no charges, is a main constellation and is all alone, I've paired up the color scheme to that of The Thief stone, making The Serpent stone somewhat of a supporting charge for The Thief.

text: I have just discoverd that the head on my Chromega D5 is to far to the left. With my 150mm lens I can "see" the right hand rubber light gasket when viewing a neg full frame. Upon closer examination, ie. light mixing chamber removed I can see that the head comes down on the neg carrier about 1/4 inch to far to the left. I have about 1/2 inch of the neg carrier showing on the left and none on the right. I pulled out the instruction manual and there doesn't seem to be any mention of adjusting the head laterally, just front to back level. Has anyone any experience with this little beasty?? Thanks, Eric

Archimandrite Laurence of New Skete Resigns
On Wednesday, September 27, 2000, the three monastic communities of New Skete in Cambridge, NY, accepted the resignation of Archimandrite Laurence [Mancuso]. Father Laurence founded the Monks of New Skete in 1966 and was Superior for the next 34 years. He was elevated to Archimandrite of the Monks of New Skete, the Nuns of New Skete, and the Companions of New Skete in 1986.
Father Laurence tendered his resignation for health reasons. The acceptance of Archimandrite Laurences resignation was confirmed by His Beatitude, Metropolitan Theodosius, who also granted him a leave of absence for six months so that he might receive rest and appropriate care.
Brother Luke [Dorr], a stavrophore monk of New Skete, was elected temporary superior of the monks [prohegumenos]. The present superior of the nuns, Sister Cecelia [Harvey], and of the companions, Brother Stephen [Updike], share responsibilities with Brother Luke in governing the communities.
The monks, nuns, and companions of New Skete are united in their commitment to carry on the vision of New Skete originally articulated by Father Laurence to live the Gospel commands and to serve the Church with renewed vigor.
His Beatitude, Metropolitan THEODOSIUS paid an archpastoral visit to the monastic communities on October 3 and 4, showing them his love and support for their efforts during this time of transition. Together, the communities of New Skete ask for the continued prayers of the Church.

F1 Fanatic - F1
This topic contains 73 replies, has 26 voices, and was last updated by Funkyf1 5 years, 4 months ago.
Seems like we owe Shannons a big thank you. They were going to pull out of their sponsorship if all regions didnt get the races live.
The MotoGP race in Portugal is again on SD Ten while the rest of the coverage is on One, grrr….. :|
I still don't understand why it's not on OneHD? It's not like they have replaced it with anything worthwhile!
@funkyf1 – Because Ten is more of a mainstream channel than One, and they're obviously hoping to get more viewers this way.
They should put it on both channels. Does anyone seriously stay up late on a Sunday evening to watch M*A*S*H repeats? It's such a waste of an HD channel, especially considering there's so few of them.
@damonsmedley I totally agree, that's where my disbelief comes from, they have stripped their sports channel and filled it with re-runs. Why put qualifying for both the F1 and MotoGp on OneHd then broadcast the races on Ten while filling OneHD with rubbish? Give us the HD broadcast we deserve.
I don't think we "deserve" it, but I do think they're missing a trick and annoying their viewers!
@funkyf1 – I'm sorry, I wasn't aware Formula 1 viewers were any more "deserving" of HD broadcasts than anyone else. You need to understand that the decisions to move Formula 1 from One to Ten was made by people who do not necessarily follow the sport the way we do, and who made the decision based on what the best thing for the channel was, rather than the best thing for a niche group of viewers.
OneHd started as a sports channel if i'm not mistaken? What happened to that??
@funkyf1 – They weren't getting enough viewers. There's not much point to a sports channel if you don't have and can't get the rights to the AFL and NRL. It got to the point where OneHD was costing Ten more money than it was worth, so they changed their programming lineup.
Well the channel still operates and a great example is tonight. They are showing Moto2 for 1 and a 1/2, followed by Predator, a movie released in 1987. Tell me this, how can they justify Moto2 live and then not follow on with MotoGp? I understand what you are saying in regards to viewers, so please explain why MotoGp gets played on Ch10 instead of OneHd when it would surely rate higher than Moto2. In just doesnt make sense! If they want ratings they need to broadcast the main events, they stated their rating were up on the last GP, because they went live across Australia, why can't they do that on OneHD?
Tell me this, how can they justify Moto2 live and then not follow on with MotoGp?
Because MotoGP is the premier class, and so they probably figure that most people don't really care about the feeder series. The people who do care can watch on One before swapping over to Ten. Yes, it makes more sense to put all three events on the one channel, but they can't move Moto2 and Moto3 to Ten because they would just take up prime-time programming slots. And they don't want to keep MotoGP on One because they think they can get more viewers with it on Ten.
so please explain why MotoGp gets played on Ch10 instead of OneHd when it would surely rate higher than Moto2
Again, it's because they think MotoGP will rate higher still on Channel Ten.
they went live across Australia, why can't they do that on OneHD?
Again, it's because they think they can get more ratings on Ten than they would on One.
Do you see the pattern here? Ten gets more viewers than One. Therefore, they put the premier events on Ten to attract more viewers.
You don't seem to understand that these decisions are not being made by fans of the sport or for fans of the sport. They are being made by network executives in what they think the interests of the station are.
They think they can get more viewers on Ten because? You don't seem to understand that I believe they are making poor decisions, that's why their station (OneHD) doesn't get ratings!
They think they can get more viewers on Ten because?
Because Ten traditionally gets a lot of viewers in that timeslot. And since the rights to both Formula 1 and MotoGP can be expensive, they no doubt want to get their money's worth.
You don't seem to understand that I believe they are making poor decisions, that's why their station (OneHD) doesn't get ratings!
No, I get that. But their priority is and always has been Channel Ten, since it's the flagship channel. One might be be failing in the ratings and expensive to run, but at the end of the day, both channels are owned by the same braodcaster. If they can offset some of the costs of One by luring more viewers and advertisers to Ten, they'll do it.
CH10's profits were down 70% from last year. Which is why they're switching F1 & MotoGP races from OneHD to ch10. To get more advertising $. OneHD is still going great, but the move is just to bolster the SD channel. Expect more dancing, & reality shows on ch10 too :/

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Standard treatment for panic attack is if one is going to use benzodiazapines-Xanax or Clorazapam. In addition is the use of SSRI's like Paxcil or Zoloft or SNRI's like Effexor r Prestiq. These take several weeks to work so the benzo's are used to cover until the other meds take effect. I would also recommend the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In CBT, one is taught new ways of thinking and behaving and as a result, one's mood improves. anxiety and panic attacks decrease. In addition CBT is evidenced based as the most effective form of treating anxiety. See:

Mortar and Pestle is Tribe Collective, we were a little confused but glad we figured it out! This place is awesome! As a previous post noted they are in the same building with a convenience store, but don't let that discourage you. Nice place, awesome service, cool atmosphere!
Was so excited to find a place where my daughter and I, both with Celiac, could go eat and be worry free! My non Celiac husband even enjoyed it!
they are moving to a gas station.....another one gone
Fun place with lots of options. We had pear fritters and a delicious sandwich with egg and cheese. My hubby had French toast. All tasty! Best thing is every thing is GF. They have a variety of cold pressed juices. Very welcoming atmosphere
Everything is great !!!! Raw, vegan, dairy free, and gf options!!!! Breakfast & lunch items are GREAT!!!! Coffee and teas are awesome too :)
Quite literally my favorite place to eat in Lafayette. I have celiac and when I am cross contaminated, I know it. At Bibi's, I never have to worry about getting sick. The food is delicious and completely safe. Tons of options and a great atmosphere!
Food was amazing:) they only have breakfast and lunch but it was all great :)
wow, I can have eclairs and french toast!!!! the barista said gluten isn't even allowed in the building, that if someone brings goldfish for their kids they will be asked to take them outside on the porch. The eclairs were delicious & the French Toast nice and thick and chewy. I wish we had a lovely place like this at home.
So delicious! Tons of gluten free treats! A really great place to stop in. Delicious coffee too.
Small town lady with Celiac disease and I was so excited to find an independently owned cafe that truly puts care into their product (and didn't look at me like I have leprosy when I said Celiac Disease) Best coffee I have had in ages, great sandwiches and breakfast burrito and some delightfully indulgent pastries! I am not in Lafayette often, but whenever I am I will make sure to visit again.
The first couple of times I went there, the bakery items were pretty good and I would have given it 4 stars. But, the last time I was there, the GF cookie bars were dry as dust. Will not go back to spend $4-5 on a cookie that is inedible. Maybe I just got a bad batch, but it's not worth the money to have to throw it out.
Everything is gluten free and amazing. Juices, coffee, breakfast, soups and sandwiches and oh my the desserts! Blueberry lemon cheesecake is delicious and was free of refined sugar as well.
Love love love!!!! All I can say
Sooooo worth the little jaunt unto town from our hotel. my hubby and I got some goodies there and took a box of treats to go. Tons of vegan options, too!
Everything is gluten free!
What a cool surprise on my way through Lafayette! Totally GF so no worries about cross contamination or having to explain the importance of the GF diet for a sensitive celiac. The Apple Mustard turkey panini was out of this world savory. The coffee was truly the best I've had in a long time as was the lemongrass tea
Very good food. Have only had desserts & the first place that i know of to come out in this area w/ Gluten Free options. They have Vegan & possibly sugar free. Give them a try!
I ate here and didn't get sick! The sandwiches were pretty good and the food wasn't over-priced
Awesome place! Pastries, breakfast, lunch, fresh ground coffee. I highly recommend this place!
Love there cream puffs.
I absolutely love Bibi's!!
amazing selection! The prices are incredible for the type of product they serve!! Who would have thought that gluten-free heaven was in south louisiana?
I love there pastries I just wish they were more reasonable so we could go more often but if you can go it is wonderful and I just heard that they are now serving breakfast and lunch. Michelle

Prospective college students with disabilities will find that many campuses are equipped with offices and services that address accessibility, accommodation, and assistive technology for a diverse range of needs. Student services offices and disability coordinators at many colleges work to make campuses inclusive environments through specialized advocacy, support, and academic services.
Of 2,563,000 undergraduate students in the U.S., approximately 11.1% of all undergraduates enrolled, had a disability in the 2011-2012 school year.
The increased visibility of these resources makes college a very compelling option for people with disabilities. In 2013, the National Center for Education Statistics reported that roughly 2,563,000 undergraduate students in the U.S., approximately 11.1% of all undergraduates enrolled, had a disability in the 2011-2012 school year. In addition to campus-based resources, students with disabilities are also protected by state, federal, and local laws prohibiting discrimination and requiring equal levels of access to academic services, environments, and resources. This guide explains your legal rights as a student with disabilities, both physical and learning disabilities, and the campus resources that can provide you with assistive services and tools. Additionally, we list a number of sites, apps, and software resources designed to aid students with specific types of disabilities, whether physical impairments or learning disabilities.
Your Legal Rights
Section 504
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is one of the earliest federal pieces of disability rights legislation, and its roots can be traced back to civil rights demonstrations by the American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities (ACCD). Through public sit-ins, lobbying, and activist demonstrations, ACCD was able to sway Jimmy Carter's administration to ensure Section 504 compliance, which paved the way for subsequent amendments.
The Office of Civil Rights (OCR), a part of the U.S. Department of Education, oversees the implementation of Section 504. Organizations that receive federal funding, such as academic institutions and employers, are legally obligated to provide disabled students with equal benefits, services, and opportunities. Students attending college must be provided with equal access to classrooms, and they may be deemed eligible for accommodations.
Who Section 504 Covers
At first glance, it can be difficult to tell if you're covered by the protections granted in Section 504. According to the legal text, the law applies to a "qualified individual with a disability." So how does the OCR determine whether you apply? The provisions define qualified individuals as those with a physical or mental condition that substantially restricts one or more major life activities. The Department of Education (ED) provides some examples of these types of impairments. However, please keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list:
|Neurological conditions
|Sense organ impairments
|Musculoskeletal impairments
|Emotional or mental illnesses
|Respiratory conditions
|Digestive ailments
|Learning disabilities
|Organic brain syndromes
Receiving Academic Adjustments
Disclosing your disability status to your college is completely optional, however you will need to disclose this information if you wish to receive academic adjustments. This gives your college administration the information and time they need to arrange for assistive aids and services for your classes. Here are some examples of the academic adjustments colleges provide:
|Sound amplification aids
|Speech to text software
|Accessible testing locations
|Note-taking services
|Priority class registration
|Sign language interpretation
|Course substitutions
If you plan to apply for academic adjustments, it's important to learn about your college's disability procedures in advance so you can receive assistive services and tools in time for your courses. In order to receive these adjustments, the ED suggests you examine disability procedures through admissions advisors, college counselors, college websites, student handbooks and course catalogs.
Section 504 Limitations
Some postsecondary academic institutions do not receive federal funding, making them exempt from complying with Section 504; the most common reasons a school would not receive funding are because it has declined funding or had it revoked. Some private colleges choose to decline federal funding for a variety of political, religious, or ethical reasons. Others may lose funding if they fail to comply with recent federal standards regarding gainful employment and loan amounts. Even if a college is exempt from Section 504 requirements, the students at this academic institution are likely covered by other disability rights legislation, such as Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), described below.
Additional Legislation
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Students who attend public colleges are protected against disability discrimination by Title II, which applies to state and local government entities. Title III protections apply to the services, activities, and programs provided by public academic institutions. Private and for-profit colleges must adhere to Title III, which prohibits discrimination by "private entities that offer certain examinations and courses related to educational and occupational certification." Additionally, these colleges are required by Title III to provide academic services in an accessible environment. Unlike Section 504, Titles II and III are enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA): Most of the IDEA regulations cover primary and secondary students between the ages of 3 to 21, however, the transition services included in the act are very relevant to future college applicants. Under IDEA, high schools are expected to provide students with certain services to "facilitate the child's movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education." These might include advising sessions where postsecondary goals are discussed. Such sessions are referred to as Individualized Education Program meetings.
Assistive Technology Act: State-run organizations are eligible to receive grant funding for assistive technology programs in a number of environments, including college campuses. These grants help fund the purchase of assistive technologies (AT), such as voice amplifiers, special software, computing hardware, and wheelchairs. You can learn more about AT-funded institutions in your state by visiting the Association of Assistive Technology Act Programs (ATAP) database.
Filing Grievances
If you believe your academic institution is not in compliance with the legislation described above, you have the option of contacting agencies that oversee these laws with your concerns. It is important to thoroughly review the policies and suggestions of each agency before submitting a complaint. These are the federal agencies that oversee the laws listed above, along with links to their complaint processes:
- Section 504: Office for Civil Rights
- ADA: U.S. Department of Justice
- IDEA: U.S. Department of Education
As a student with disabilities, it is important to thoroughly understand your federal, state, and local rights. Exploring the resources available to you on campus can make the transition to college much easier. If you qualify for academic adjustments, speak to an admissions adviser early on so you can receive services and/or assistive technology when classes begin. Many colleges employ ADA or disability rights coordinators and disability services staff who can serve as on-campus resources for your needs.
Campus Life
- Profile Colleges
Make sure you are applying to colleges that are a good fit for your personal and academic interests and needs. Consider campus resources, tuition rates, housing options, population sizes, majors, faculty, student retention, graduation rates, and job placement rates before applying.
- Schedule a Visit
See just how accessible classrooms and campus resources are by scheduling tours with prospective colleges. This is typically arranged with an admissions office. Visit student services offices and buildings that correspond with your desired major, since you will likely spend a lot of time in these areas.
- Student Services
Many campuses have student services offices dedicated to serving individuals with disabilities. The staff members at these offices generally work with college administrators to ensure compliance with disability legislation and serve as advocates to create inclusive policies. These offices can serve as a primary point of contact for information on accessible accommodations, documentation requirements, and services found on campus.
- Housing Services
If you plan to live on campus, check with residence hall administrators to learn about accessible dorms, dining halls, and parking.
- Online Courses
Massive online open courses (MOOCs) are courses available for free online by companies like Coursera or Udacity. Many MOOCs have no enrollment requirements whatsoever, and the materials for the courses tend to be available exclusively online. Enrolling in a MOOC can help you gain an understanding of the academic work, group collaboration, and time commitments required at the collegiate level.
Before Class Enrollment
Send in Documentation: In order for colleges to provide accessible accommodations and academic adjustments, you need to provide the administration with medical documentation of your disability. According to the U.S. Department of Education, this documentation can include current disability diagnoses, paperwork that covers your doctor's credentials, or medical and academic reports on the impact your disability has on your academic life.
Check in with Student Services: It is important to work together with your college's student services office during the course enrollment process; you might be eligible for adjustments such as priority class registration. Some additional services colleges provide include:
- Testing accommodations
- Sign language interpreters
- Braille transcriptions
- Audio recordings of lectures
- Note-taking
- Seating accommodations
While colleges and universities work towards making their campuses and classrooms more accessible for students with disabilities, there may be additional needs to address.

JORDAN Rhodes scored his 50th goal for Blackburn Rovers last night but it was not enough to earn a vital and deserved victory over fellow play-off hopefuls Brighton and Hove Albion.
Rhodes brought up the major milestone in the 86th minute when he converted Rovers' first penalty at Ewood Park this season.
But two minutes later substitute Dale Stephens scored to earn the Seagulls a 3-3 draw. The result leaves Rovers 11th in the Championship table and seven points off the top six with seven games to play – the first of which comes at home to Ipswich Town on Saturday.
Brighton had opened the scoring in the 17th minute through David Rodriguez and restored parity in the through Gordon Greer after the returning Tom Cairney and Rhodes had put Rovers in front.
Boss Gary Bowyer said: "It's really disappointing to have scored three goals and not won the game."

Gleaning For The World Aims to Fight Sex Trafficking in Post Typhoon Philippines
Concord, VA - A warning on the heels of the terribly typhoon ravaging the Philippines, about the hidden tragedy that follows so many natural disasters. Some of the smallest victims often times are sold into a fate you can't even imagine.
There's always a sense of urgency to get supplies to where they need to be following any natural disaster. But in countries, like the Philippines, there's an added sense of urgency, because after something like this a lot of children will be sold into sex slavery.
But one local organization is on the front lines trying to save those kids.
Gusts of 230 miles an hour have forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes in the Philippines. Gleaning for the World will be one of the first organizations to send supplies.
"The first time I heard about it, we were working in Sri Lanka" said Reverend Ron Davidson, President of Gleaning for the World.
Davidson said he saw something ten years ago, on his first disaster relief trip that stopped him dead in his tracks.
"They will try to talk you into selling your oldest child so that you'll have enough money to feed the other four" he said.
Davidson said child sex traffickers are the first feet on the ground in many countries following a major disaster, exploiting those families left homeless, without food, or water.
"If they don't have these things, they've got to make that choice; of either selling their child or letting all of them die. That's not a decision I think any parent should ever have to make" he said.
One remedy though, is getting supplies on the ground immediately and filling that need, before the traffickers. Gleaning tries to do just that knowing that time, is precious.
"We work as rapidly as we can to get the supplies on the ground for them" said Davidson.
In his years of relief work, both domestic and international, Davidson says he's never seen sex trafficking as a problem here, in the U.S.
"We see this as something that happens in other countries, it doesn't happen here, when really, it does" said Tony Giorno.
Giorno is a United States Attorney and a Human Trafficking Coordinator. He says state-side, this problem is growing.
A new task force set up in Roanoke, he says aims to help local law enforcement slow its surge.
"Human trafficking is often called the crime within the crime, because it's not readily apparent from when you first see a particular situation" said Giorno.
Davidson says Gleaning will have supplies on the ground in the Philippines as early as Tuesday of next week. Inevitably though he says even then, with such a rapid response, for some children, it may be too late.

Short Description Large objects documentation Long Description It seems to be the omission in Programmers Guide about large objects. I've lost a lot of time trying to understand why large object is created successfully but lo_open returned with error "cann't lo_lseek on invalid descriptor 0".

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, 2007/05/23 - MicroWorld is a pioneer in content security antivirus messaging gateway and firewall solutions. MicroWorld products provides real-time antivirus solutions based on MicroWorld revolutionary technology.
The advanced Security Solution provider in AntiVirus, AntiSpam and Content Security, MicroWorld Technologies today launched its new version of eScan Corporate. As a comprehensive security solution that protects Information Networks of organizations and business houses, this new version is compatible with Windows Vista and 64 bit Windows.
With this new release we ensure that we continue to pack the best-of-breed technologies and algorithms in AntiVirus, AntiSpam and Content Security components of eScan, said Govind Rammurthy, CEO of MicroWorld Technologies, on the occasion. These new features not only add more power to the individual modules of the software but also enhance Centralized Security Management of an organizations IT infrastructure.
He continued, The AntiVirus system of eScan offers protection against all kinds of malware with the earliest detection of new Viruses and Worms in HTTP and FTP traffic. Harmful stuff like Adware, Spyware and Greyware are also detected and removed.
For blocking Spam, the new eScan uses a combination of technologies along with MicroWorlds unique NILP technology. The Content Security is strengthened with newer algorithms and extensive filtering methods. Policies with multiple categories can be enforced on different user groups so that, as an administrator you have total control and flexibility in deciding who accesses what, Govind added.
As he hinted, Non Intrusive Learning Patterns (NILP) is a revolutionary mechanism in Spam and Phishing Control. This technology observes users behavioral patterns and based on the analysis, it judges whether a mail is spam or not. The system works on the principles of Artificial Intelligence so that it acts as a self-learning mechanism that spots spam with the best accuracy.
Network Administrators would love this new version as it does a lot to lower the administrative over-head to a near zero and adds great flexibility in micromanaging individual users. Different policies for Virus Scan, Attachment Blocking and Web Access Control with multiple categories are enforced and managed from the Management Console.
As one would remember, eScan was among the very few AntiVirus Solutions that got an A+ from the widely respected AV Comparatives Study in this February, which compared most AntiVirus products in the present day market. If it was an earlier version of eScan that won the coveted recognition, this new power-packed version is definitely good news for security enthusiasts.

I don't know where the Mucho Gusto label finds this wild stuff. L'Infonie was a Quebec based band that released four albums, this being the first, released in 1969. The back cover pictures 13 members, and the liner notes indicate that there were sometimes upwards of 33 musicians in the band. The album is a mixed bag of varied styles, much of which sounds like the musicians being experimental just for the sake of being avant-garde. I suppose there are similarities to Gong, maybe a more horn oriented version of Gong. The vocals are in French but there's a lot of ranting (poetry?) that reminded me of Daevid Allen. But for so many band members I rarely hear a full band kicking in and those are the moments that tend to be the ones I enjoyed.
There are a trio of songs with "L'Affaire" in the title that I liked. "Ode á L'Affaire" opens with a lot of crazed screaming, percussion thrashing, synth jamming, and a horde of other sounds. Then it abruptly stops, and a dark jazzy orchestral bit begins, though it has a psychedelic atmosphere about it. Horns drone and space synths pop up intermittently. "L'Affaire" continues the free-for-all, but with crazed horns and sirens. And "Tourtes Les Affaires…" (VERY long song title) has more of the synth jamming heard on the first track, not unlike some of Sun Ra's more electronic work. But these are all too brief and I would have loved to heard this developed more. "J'ai Perdue 15 Cents…" and "Viens Danser le "IL Lá" sound like tracks from the Les Maledictus Sound album, with it's groovy 60s film motif, though L'Infonie make more use of synthesizers to produce some great freaky sounds. The later tune is the stronger of the two, being a cool funky dancey jazz-psych tune. And the manic voices make the whole thing enjoyably nutty.
Unfortunately the album as a whole is too uneven in terms of quality and a little incoherent in terms of the styles explored. "Finale" journeys into the avant-garde jazz realm. There's a lot of yelling and banging, but I loved the bass. Actually the first 4 minutes just muddle around blindly, though in the last couple minutes the ensemble starts to come together more tightly as a unit. Who knows, for 1969 this may well have been impressive as an experimental piece. "Agnus Dei" made me think of romantic Italian restaurant music. "Desafinado" begins with a 2 minute impassioned rant (in French). A crowd cheers and then the band launches into a free-jazz jam. I liked it because they manage to be a bit on the wild side while retaining a laid back loungey feel. Really nice interplay between the horns and piano, and especially solid playing from the piano.
The CD also includes a lame cover of the Beatles' "She's Leaving Home", and 22 minutes of bonus live material that includes precious little music, an annoying gap of silence, and is dominated by a lot of what is either ranting or poetry. I can't criticize too much as I don't speak French, but I would have preferred music. Overall, there's enough here to indicate there are some solid musicians in the group yet they only ever flex their muscles for what seem like moments at a time. Still, this must have been pretty wild stuff in 1969 and I'm sure L'infonie raised some eyebrows at the time. Of interest to those into the history of rock's avant garde.

Exploring the old city of Jerusalem with my husband, Gary, I was enchanted by the nooks and crannies of a city so foreign to my North American background. Arab and Jew shared a tentative peace, giving us an illusion of safety. It was 1971 and we were too young to believe any harm could befall us.
Jerusalem is a city built on a city, built on a city. Everywhere is evidence of a previous building beneath the current one. Tired from our day's excursion we found a small cafe on a narrow alley in the Arab quarter. Hidden from tourist traffic, we hoped we had stumbled into an authentic native experience. We were not disappointed. The entryway was excavated through a thick chiseled stone wall from centuries ago. The floor of the original doorway lay buried under tons of dirt and old walls, with the most recent dwelling built on the rubble. Touching the cool stones for support, we bent low passing through a narrow tunnel to enter the cafe. The claustrophobic entrance opened into a large high-ceilinged room.
The proprietor, dressed in a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress, and blue jeans, gestured for us to sit at one of seven small Formica-covered tables. Evidence of multilevel architecture adorned the room. The tops of old windows, now bricked in, visibly marked where the previous room ended and the new began. The ancient stone walls brought cool relief from the searing temperatures outdoors. They muffled the sound of bicycles, mules and hawkers from the alley and filled the cafe with an earthy damp smell. Overlaid on this was the aroma of Turkish coffee, as multileveled in its bouquet as the architecture around us. We were pleased to see the other patrons were Arab men playing backgammon and smoking water-cooled tobacco from a narghile, enjoying their mid-afternoon respite. It boded well for the authenticity of the shop.
Turkish coffee was a new taste I learned to appreciate from a Turkish student traveler at our hostel. He showed us the correct technique to brew the coffee into a sweet, rich liqueur. He measured finely ground coffee beans, sugar and water into a specially shaped coffee pot: wide on the bottom and narrow at the top to keep the grinds close to the heat. The pot is set on the heat until the water almost comes to a boil. The narrowing mouth of the pot allows the heated coffee to shoot up quickly. Before it can boil over, the pot is immediately removed from the heat. This is done three times, being careful to let the cloudy mixture rise to the rim of the pot without boiling over the edge. The expert coffeemaker knows the exact moment between well cooked or messy accident. The dark brown coffee is then poured into small cups with care to leave the gritty grounds behind.
We ordered cups of Turkish coffee and a honey-drenched slice of a flaky pistachio pastry to share. The store owner served the coffee and dessert from an elegant silver tray. The coffee was delicious. It was creamy and sweet and bitter just as our Turkish friend's coffee, but it also tasted of an unidentifiable sweet spice. Gary and I looked at each other. We ordered the coffee speaking in broken Hebrew, perhaps identifying us as Jews. Had that been a mistake? Should we have stayed with hand signals and English? We were concerned.
My mind flashed back to an old horror story. In Roald Dahl's The Landlady, a hotel owner served tea tasting slightly of bitter almond. An image of how her proficient taxidermy skills enabled her to keep visitors forever, floated uninvited through my mind. She too had served from a silver tray.
Could the owner be trying to drug us? We were tucked away and hidden in this remote back alley. No one knew where we were. It could be weeks before my parents in Chicago would even know we were missing.
We bravely told the proprietor the coffee was delicious but there was an unusual flavor. Yes, he told us, it was "hell." We accepted this, hoping it didn't mean he was sending us to that location, and finished drinking the coffee to its last velvety drop. The taste was worth the risk. It wasn't until later we learned hell was the Hebrew word for cardamom, a small pod-shaped spice with tiny black seeds frequently used in baking. Bedouins often add it to their coffee.
Now whenever I make Turkish coffee in the traditional way, I add a little hell. I rejoice in the double aroma and remember an old Arab gentleman who introduced me to something wonderful.
