When and how can I register for fall and spring courses?
First-year students will be mailed a postcard in the middle of June with information about registration. A great resource for first-year students is the New Student Academic Information and Registration Handbook which gives an outline of recommended courses for first-year students and links to placement tests. This information, along with other important dates, can be found on the Office of the University Registrar's website at www.brandeis.edu/registrar/
For those seeking academic advising over the summer please contact the Office of Academic Services at (781) 736-3470 or visit their website at www.brandeis.edu/acserv/ . Once you arrive on campus you will be notified who your academic advisor is and during the Orientation program you will have an opportunity to meet them.
The Department of Community Living will email out housing assignments to your Brandeis email account. This mailing will include where you are living and contact information about your future roommate(s). It is a good idea to contact your roommate(s) before you arrive to get to know each other and decide if you will be sharing items and what you will be bringing to your living space. If you have any housing questions feel free to call the Department of Community Living at (781) 736-5060.
What does the university provide for my room and what should I bring from home?
For a detailed list of what the university provides and what you should bring from home (or buy when you get to Waltham) refer to your Pre-Arrival Guide, which should arrive at your home mailbox in November.
What should I do about bedding and towels?
Lets face it, bringing your own bedding can be difficult if you need to have it shipped from far away. Fortunately the Student Service Bureau at Brandeis sells a variety of different packages which include sheets, towels, comforters, pillows, etc. The Student Service Bureau information will be included in the June Orientation mailing so you can order your items.
You can also bring your own bedding or buy bedding at a Target or Bed Bath and Beyond store once you get to the Waltham area. Be sure to purchase extra long twin sheets and comforters!
No, you do not need a computer, but they are nice to have. There are four computer clusters on campus that are for student use, but they become scarce during midterms and finals. Also, just because your roommate says that you can use his or her computer now, does not mean that you both won't need it at the same time. You may decide to purchase a personal computer system. Brandeis has arranged for competitive prices on new computers made by Dell and Apple computers for students. This is a special deal because if you buy one of these computers you get a four-year warranty instead of the usual two-year warranty. Brandeis also offers on-campus certified warranty repair service for Dell and Apple computers. For Dell and Apple purchasing information visit the Library & Technology Services (LTS) website. If you do choose to bring a computer, there is a place in every room for each student to connect to the university computer network. Also, Brandeis is a wireless campus, so students with laptops can connect to the Internet from anywhere on campus.
First-Year and sophomore students cannot have cars on campus. One of Brandeis' greatest assets is that you do not need a car to have fun. There is transportation service to take you to the grocery store, drug stores, movie theater and local restaurants (of which there are many of all different styles). With the proximity of the commuter rail (Brandeis has its own train stop!) and the free shuttle bus to Boston on the weekends, it is very easy to get around.
Will I need to bring a phone or an answering machine?
No, you can request a Brandeis telephone and a voice mailbox. The telephone is a Cisco 7940 with the following features: caller ID, call hold, call waiting, speaker phone, transfer, message light indicator and a Brandeis telephone directory look-up. Do not bring an additional analog phone or answering machine, they will not work. To request a phone, visit http://lts.brandeis.edu.
How will the voicemail system work?
The voicemail system is a Cisco Unity System. Instructions for setting up and using students' personal voicemail systems are available on the LTS website.
Who is Brandeis' long distance service provider?
PaeTec Communications manages the University's long distance service. Monthly bills are sent to students' Brandeis e-mail accounts. For questions or concerns or to review your account, please visit the PaeTec CampusLink website or call PaeTec Customer Service at (800) 962-4772.
Students may also use a separately purchased or billed telephone card.
Can I work on-campus? Where can I go to find a job on campus?
Students who have been awarded Federal Work-Study (FWS) or University Employment (for International students) as part of their financial aid award receive hiring priority. All students must have a valid social security number issued by the U.S. government in order to begin working. Save time by bringing your passport or social security to campus with you! Please download this PDF for the list of required forms you must complete in order to work on campus. There are no exceptions to the Federal laws of Employment Eligibility Verification.
All available positions are posted on the On-Campus Job Opportunities page.
For more information, please visit the Office of Student Financial Services on the second floor of Usdan Student Center, call us at (781) 736-3700 or visit the SFS website.
I took AP classes in high school. How can I get these credits to transfer?
For specific information on each AP exam, see the Advanced Placement Chart, Brandeis University Bulletin, or the Academic Services website. To claim your credit for AP examinations, you will need to visit the Office of the University Registrar (Kutz 121). Students may claim AP credit(s) after their second semester at Brandeis University. For courses taken at other universities, contact Irene Widugiris, Transfer Credit Specialist in the Registrar's Office email@example.com or (781) 736-2014.
I doubt I will eat breakfast everyday. What's the deal with the meal plan?
Dining Services offers a variety of different meal plans for students. For more information on dining plan options, you can call the Campus Card Office in Kutz Hall at (781) 736-4230 or visit the Campus Card website. For more about dining options, see the Dining Services website.
So what is there to do around here?
There are tons of things to do at Brandeis! On campus, there are movies, dances and performances. You can also go into Waltham to watch a movie or eat dinner. Go to Boston and see a concert, go shopping, have dinner, go to a sporting event (The World Champion Boston Red Sox are only a train ride away!), walk the Freedom trail, go on a Duck Tour, visit Faneuil Hall, watch street performers or go dancing.
How can I get involved in "Brandeis Life" right away?
One great place to start is the Student Clubs and Organizations website. This site gives you the opportunity to explore clubs. Club e-mail addresses are available if you have any questions. Another great place to learn about clubs is the Volunteer Fest, which will take place during Orientation. This event gives you a chance to meet representatives of different clubs on campus and to find out how to join those that interest you.
Yes. There is a Sovereign Bank ATM in the Usdan Student Center and there is a Citizen's Bank ATM in the Shapiro Campus Center. There is a Bank of America ATM located in Gosman Gym and just off campus in the Village Market Shopping Center. All three banks have student checking account options and branches on Main Street in Waltham. If you do not have a checking account when you arrive on campus, there will be representatives from the banks here to help you set up an account.
Can I get help setting up my computer on campus? Help Desk staff will be on hand in the residence halls on Opening Sunday to help you with any computer or telephone issues. The Help Desk provides computer and telephone tech support for students, by students. The Help Desk operates out of the Main Library and is open 70 hours a week for phone and walk-in service: x9UNET (781-529-8638). To learn more and for lots of helpful information, please visit the Help Desk online.Important! Windows Genuine Advantage Program

Graham Onions has been summoned to join the England Lions tour of Sri Lanka.
The seam bowler replaces Durham team-mate Mark Wood, who is returning home after suffering a side injury during last week's warm-up game.
And Onions will now be in contention for the first of three four-day matches against Sri Lanka A, starting in Kandy on Wednesday.
Wood had made a good start to his tour following his call-up as a replacement for Somerset fast bowler Jamie Overton.
National selector James Whitaker said: "Mark had a very impressive start to the Lions tour taking five wickets in the first warm-up match.
"However, having been injured, it is very important that he has every chance of starting the season for Durham in the best possible condition.
"We have agreed with Durham that the best course of action is for Mark to return home.
"This presents a good opportunity for Graham to join up with the Lions and play an important role in their series against Sri Lanka ahead of the summer international series."

Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag is a welcome jolt for Ubisoft's historic open-world series, adding new mechanics and characters that remain fun throughout

Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag review
- Pirates!
- Naval battles
- Satisfying stories
- Repetitive missions
- Outrunning the law
- Shaun Hastings
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is the most fun we've had with an Assassin's Creed game since Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (released back in 2010). It really is that good.
The ambition of the game is stunning. Ubisoft has expanded the core experience of free-running, stealth and swordplay to include naval battles, increased the size and scope of the world players have to explore and, best of all, placed a charismatic and fun protagonist at the game's centre.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Characters
This last aspect can't be praised enough. While Black Flag's predecessor Assassin's Creed 3 introduced interesting new mechanics and weapons, it suffered somewhat because its central character wasn't much fun to be around.
After the series' flamboyant lead Ezio Auditore da Firenze shuffled off at the end of Assassin's Creed Revelations, the young Native American Connor Kenway proved too po-faced and earnest for most players. This probably explains why he's been summarily jettisoned for Black Flag.
In AC4, players take on the role of Connor's granddad, Edward Kenway, privateer, swordsman and roguish ne'er-do-well.
As one of the many figureheads in the Republic Of Pirates, Edward is both a lot more fun than his grandson – as are the characters that surround him, which include legendary pirates such as Anne Bonney, James Kidd and Blackbeard.
There's an easy camaraderie Kenway has with the blackguards of the Caribbean and his loose, rakish manner makes him good company for the 20-30 hours players will spend with him.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Plot
The story of Black Flag covers the usual 'secret war' nonsense that fuels the Assassin's Creed franchise and, as usual, long-term resolutions aren't even on the table. The adventure begins with Kenway impersonating a dead man in order to pick up a cash reward, and before too long he finds himself a player in the war between the Assassins and the Templars.
It seems the latter are after some device that'll grant them formidable powers and are using Imperial efforts to drive pirates out of the Caribbean as cover.
Kenway decides finding the location of said device could be worth some money, but it's not long before some earnest killers wearing cowls try to enlist him for the greater good.
There's a story set in the present day too, which involves an employee of the Abstergo Entertainment Corporation sourcing memories for a pirate film.
Without going into too much detail, they're quickly tapped up by some neurotic twit in IT and made to hack a few of their workmate's terminals. They're also made aware that Abstergo's upper management is engaged in something rather shady.
The present day Assassin's Creed story has always been the weakest element of this series and Black Flag doesn't buck that trend. It does, however, edit it down to mercifully short levels – even if it doesn't reward long-time fans of the series by getting rid of its most irritating character, Shaun Hastings (voiced by Danny Wallace).Thankfully, the lion's share of player's time is spent tooling about the game with Ed Kenway. Black Flag takes place during The Golden Age of Piracy and is set on sprawling map divided between landmasses and acres of ocean.
There are three large cities – Kingston, Havana and the pirate isle of Nassau – that offer the traditional Assassin's Creed experience (free running, contracts, side-missions, collectibles and opening viewpoints).
It's in these sections that Black Flag stagnates a little. The cities look wonderfully rustic and there are oodles of activities, but a lot of them are built on an overly familiar rubric.
Black Flag doesn't really push the envelope in its city-based mission structure and some of the kinks in the game's parkour gameplay persist.
Things get really interesting when players set to sea in Kenway's ship, The Jackdaw. The Jackdaw is both the player's main mode of transport as well as their second avatar.
Players have four speed gradients to choose from, and the turning arch of their vessel decreases the faster they move. The Jackdaw is a pretty nimble ship, which can switch from full sail to turning on its anchor in a few short moments and this comes in especially handy during naval combat.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Features

Players have four speed gradients to choose from, and the turning arch of their vessel decreases the faster they move. The Jackdaw is a pretty nimble ship, which can switch from full sail to turning on its anchor in a few short moments and this comes in especially handy during naval combat.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Naval Combat
As they sail the seven seas (okay, actually the one sea), the player will encounter numerous vessels from different countries and they have the opportunity to nick their cargo. This usually involves pulling alongside their target, battering them with cannon fire until they're incapacitated and then either boarding them or sinking them.
If they opt for the latter, they pick up half the amount of loot. If they decide to board, they'll need to kill a certain number of the crew until surrender is offered.
They can then use the ship for spare parts for the Jackdaw or recruit the crew and lower Kenway's wanted level. The latter here is useful since, if the player sinks too many vessels from a particular country, they'll send out a warship in pursuit of the Jackdaw.
Whatever they decide, players will usually collect loot – rum, cloth, metals and so on – that they can sell to purchase upgrades for the Jackdaw. These include items such as reinforced armour, more powerful guns, mortars, bigger battering rams and more effective ammunition. They can also buy cosmetic upgrades such as a new masthead or really ugly sails.
What sells the experience is the fact that Ubisoft has done a sterling job of making the Jackdaw both fun and easy to sail. Controls are mapped intuitively and naval battles are always heaps of fun to play through. Just be wary that in order to tackle war galleons and Legendary Ships in the game, the Jackdaw will need some pretty heavy upgrades.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Environments
The game's other main draw is the huge map it contains and the myriad activities it offers. It's true some collectibles – viewpoints and chests – feel recycled, but players can also explore hidden coves, hunt for buried treasure, chase down sea shanties, and complete Bureau side quests.
They can take a diving bell to the bottom of the ocean or hunt land and aquatic animals and sell their meat and pelts. There's even a series of statue puzzles to solve that yield studs that open a door to… well, we didn't get that far.
Black Flag also looks absolutely swoon-worthy in its presentation. We've yet to play it on current gen but we can report the PS4 ups the ante on this already visually impressive series.
Every environment – be it the ramshackle streets of Havannah or a lush jungle on a tropical island – is meticulously detailed and in-game environmental have a realistic physical affect on foliage and cloth.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Multiplayer
It'll probably take players around 26 or so hours to complete Black Flag if they ignore most activities other than the main story missions. God alone knows how long 100 per cent completion in story mode will take, and then there's always multiplayer.
Online mode is essentially the violent game of hide and seek that reached its apex in Assassin's Creed 3 last year. Wolfpack mode is back, although this time it's been kinked a little – players need to defend chests that pop up occasionally as well as coordinate timed attacks on groups of enemies.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Verdict
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is a remarkable piece of work and represents something of a return to form for the series. It's sure to delight fans and it should prompt anyone who was put off by Connor Kenway to give the series another try. It's the best entry in this series for the last three years and easily one of 2013's essential titles – on whichever gaming platform you own.
The new content is well-implemented, fun to use and remains compelling throughout. Now, all they need to do is set the next game in Victorian London. Are you listening, Ubisoft? Are you listening?
Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag release date: 29 October 2013 on Xbox 360 and PS3. 22 November 2013 on Wii U, Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag review
- Pirates!

- Satisfying stories
- Repetitive missions
- Outrunning the law
- Shaun Hastings
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has to be a tricky game to show in its unfinished state. It's sound mechanically and, as every instalment in this franchise does, it looks utterly gorgeous – especially on the next-gen machines (we saw it on the Sony PS4), whose processing power allows for increased visual immersion.
But in the end, Assassin's Creed games live and die on their stories and the more its publisher Ubisoft gives away before the game's release, the duller its edge will be by the time it makes its way into the consoles of its fanbase.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Features
Perhaps this is why, for its hands-on event, Ubisoft opted to give T3 a taste of the changes to the Assassin's Creed core gameplay, rather than risk spoilers.
Long time fans of the series will know that the central play mechanics of Black Flag remain exploration, stealth, free-running and combat with edged weapons. That's been the case since the first entry in the franchise. The big change that Black Flag brings to the franchise is nautical navigation.
Those who've been paying attention since Black Flag was first unveiled in March of this year will know that the action has moved from colonial America to the Golden Age of Piracy.
Black Flag plonks players into the boots of Edward Kenway, hooded assassin and fully paid up member of the republic of pirates. Since he's the captain of a vessel named the Jackdaw, it makes sense that the players should expect quite some time at sea.
Sailing the Jackdaw takes a bit of getting used to. Players take the helm by positioning Kenway behind the ship's wheel. While the camera is positioned up close behind him, players can guide the Jackdaw with some degree of precision, which is useful for docking and pulling alongside enemy ships during naval battles.Click the X button and the ship speeds up and the camera shifts behind it; effectively at full speed, the ship becomes the player's avatar.
The degree of ease at which the player moves through the map is probably what necessitated the sheer size of it. Black Flag's map is the biggest that has ever appeared in an Assassin's Creed video game and, for the first time, players can traverse it from end to end without having to look at a loading screen.
The map contains three full cities - Havana, Kingston, and Nassau – as well as a ton of hidden coves, jungle islands, shipwrecks and forts. And that's just stuff above the ocean…Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Plot
Black Flag is set in 1720s during the post-Spanish Succession period. A lot of privateers and sailors at the time, we are told, suddenly found themselves out of work and began to turn to piracy in order to make a living.
Among them was one privateer named Edward Kenway, a brash, brutish, if slightly intelligent man who captained a ship called The Jackdaw. It's this colourful rogue the players will be taking control of as they head out on adventure that'll take them from Cuba, to the West Indies, to the Bahamas and dozens of places in between.Ubisoft says Black Flag will also feature a lot of figures from the Golden Age of Piracy including Ben Hornigold, the gentlemen pirate, Anne Bonney, one of the rare female captains of the time, Calico Jack and Charles Vane, a pair of unrepentant psychos and Blackbeard, who needs no introduction.
Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Gameplay
For our time at Black Flag's controls, we were allowed to peruse a small island – one of many in the game – upon which we were able to hunt, kill and skin a couple of animals.
We also took part in a spot of deep sea diving; Kenway was lowered down to the depths in a massive diving bell and we were then able to use him to scout for treasure in sunken wrecks.We had to keep an eye on Kenway's oxygen, which diminishes over time, but there were pockets of air to be found under barrels tied upside down at intervals to the ocean floor. We also had to keep a weather-eye out for sharks, which considered Kenway a rather delicious snack.
The hardest part of Black Flag to get used to was the nautical combat. In the couple of naval battles in which we partook, we found that manoeuvring the Jackdaw into position to take out an enemy vessel was slightly tricky.
The tactic we were advised to use – and which proved most effective – was to pepper the target ship with cannon fire, and then use a rail gun to take out enemy crew members before swinging aboard and taking down enemies at close range.
Kenway handles rather well. Players are able to outfit him with two swords, which are useful for breaking through enemy guards, or they can opt for a pistol and sword, which allows them a one-shot instantaneous kill on enemies up close.
According to the developers, both Kenway's arsenal and the Jackdaw's abilities and weapons are all upgradeable and, over the course of the game, players will be able to convert both to their most lethal versions.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag Multiplayer
We were given a brief look at the game's multiplayer, which, much like the multiplayer of Splinter Cell Blacklist, plays out like a rather lethal game of hide-and-seek. In the game's online mode tutorial, players are taught how to mark, stalk and dispatch their prey while remaining undetected, as well as how to evade any would-be killers.
We were also allowed a turn on the Wolfpack online mode, which fans will remember from Assassin's Creed 3. If you've never played it, Wolfpack is a co-op match type in which four players target roaming groups of AI-controlled enemies and take them out in co-ordinated attacks.Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag: Verdict
What's even more impressive, is the fact that Black Flag is scheduled for release this year – a turnaround time from AC3 that seems miniscule given the scope and breadth of what Ubisoft hope to accomplish with the game.
It's certainly a new step for the series, gameplay wise, and like every Assassin's Creed game, it looks absolutely gorgeous. We can't wait to buckle a swash with Black Flag come November.

Crude oil spill at Colerain Township preserve more than twice as large as officials first reported
'Who knows how long ago it started?'
COLERAIN TOWNSHIP—Estimates of the amount of crude oil that spilled into a Colerain Township nature preserve continue to rise as the pipeline restarted Sunday with a 20 percent reduction in pressure, according to the EPA and a spokesperson for Sunoco Logistics, which owns the pipeline.
So far, about 17,000 gallons of an estimated 21,000 gallons of crude oil spilled have been recovered from the site in the Oak Glen Nature Preserve, a Hamilton County park, according to an EPA report. Original estimates put the spill amount at closer to 10,000 gallons.
After testing a specially engineered clamp placed over the five-inch crack in the 64-year-old crude oil pipe, the Department of Transportation approved a plan to resume operations.
The goal is to run the pipe for six to nine weeks so customers at the end of the line can stock up on crude oil. Then Sunoco will shut down the line again, this time to remove and replace the damaged pipe, according to Steve Conn, chief and spokesperson for the Colerain Fire Department.
At that point, the cracked pipe will be sent to a lab for testing to determine why, and when, it failed. Officials agree that a leak of an estimated 21,000 gallons of oil through a five-inch crack likely did not happen quickly.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- Federal authorities in Savannah have charged 33 people as part of an undercover operation into gun and drug trafficking.
A majority of those named in 17 federal indictments that were unsealed Wednesday are from Georgia and South Carolina. The investigation, dubbed Operation Pulaski, began in late 2011.
Undercover federal agents infiltrated multiple regional and international criminal organizations. Over time, the agents bought 189 guns, illegal drugs and stolen vehicles.
Investigators found that the vehicles were stolen from the New York City area and were brought to the Southeast for resale or to be shipped abroad and sold.
Also as part of the investigation, four people were charged by Chatham County authorities on state firearm and drug offenses. Eight other defendants in the case were previously indicted and prosecuted last year.

What percentage of laws come from the EU?
These figures (or, at least, figures in this rough ballpark) are widely accepted, with everyone from universities to charities seeming to accept them at face value.
But are any of them actually true? And which is it? 84%? 80%? 75%? 50%? Or some other figure? Because they can't ALL be right.
Daniel Hannan: 84% of all laws come from the EU
Let's take the biggest figure first. If 84% sounds ridiculously high, that's because it is. Even eurosceptic thinktank Open Europe have dismissed this claim as unrealistic - explaining in detail where the calculation originated.
In short, it comes from a reply by the Parliamentary Undersecretary of the German Parliament, Alfred Hartenbach, given on 29 April 2005 - relating specifically (and exclusively) to Germany, where he stated that from 1998 until 2004, 18,187 EU regulations and 750 EU directives were adopted in Germany. During the same period the German Parliament passed in total 1,195 laws (as well as 3,055 "Rechtsverordnungen" - which are like Primary and Secondary legislation). This was seized on by former German President Roman Herzog and Luder Gurken of the Centrum für Europäische Politik, who used these figures to work out 84% of all German laws originate in Brussels. As Open Europe explains:
750 (directives) + 18,187 (regulations) = 18,917 EU legislative acts 1,195 (Gesetze) + 3,055 (Verordnungen) – 750 (directives) = 3,500 German legislative acts = 84%.Open Europe goes on to explain why this figure is, at best, misleading. And remember, Open Europe is a eurosceptic thinktank:
The 750 directives were substracted as they require seperate implementing laws in Germany (assuming a directive/implementing law ratio of 1:1).
to conclude that 4 out 5 laws originate in Brussels is probably a step too far. Germany, for instance, is a federal system, meaning that the individual Lander has substantial powers to legislate autonomously. The many laws adopted on the Lander-level would have to be included in any all laws count, which isn't the case here. In addition, this count says nothing about the nature of the laws.So, the 84% figure is based on a calculation about German laws (and is therefore not directly transferable to Britain, as Hannan and others would like us to believe), and that calculation in any case left out a huge chunk of German legislation, rendering the final figure utterly obsolete.
It's also important to keep in mind that the EU's powers are mainly regulatory, as opposed to budgetary. This means that most issues that relate to spending and taxation (health bills, crime bills, educational reform, pensions, welfare, etc) - the "wallet" issues if you will - are mostly beyond the realm of the EU, but must also be included in any count that includes all laws.
So the 84% figure can safely be discounted.
UKIP: 75% of all laws come from the EU
Next up, the second highest figure. Where did UKIP get their 75% claim from? Well, handily they provide a video on YouTube which shows it comes from Hans-Gert Pottering, EPP MEP and President of the European Parliament from January 2007 to June 2009:
"If we were not that influential," the subtitles show Pottering as saying, "then we would not be the legislator of 75% of all laws in Europe."But where it suits UKIP's purpose to interpret this as literally meaning that, EU-wide, 75% of ALL laws stem from the EU, had they included more of Pottering's speech the context - and therefore the meaning - would have become far more apparent. For what Pottering was actually saying was that the European Parliament (not the EU) legislates on 75% of laws *passed by the European Union*. Not passed by EU member states - just by the EU itself, at EU level. Because the European Parliament has little say in something like 20-25% of EU legislation (something the Lisbon Treaty would rectify, but that's for another day). German speakers will also be able to confirm that the subtitles on UKIP's video of Pottering are not 100% accurate.
So the 75% figure does not apply to the percentage of laws in individual member states that stem from the EU, but the percentage of laws that stem from the EU that the European Parliament has a say in. That's an entirely different kettle of fish - and so the 75% figure can safely be dismissed as based on a (deliberate?) misunderstanding.
David Cameron: "Almost half"
It is worth noting again here that Cameron says "almost half of all regulations affecting our businesses come from the EU". Some laws may be regulations, but not all regulations are laws, so we need to tread a little more carefully here. Where did Cameron get his figure from? I genuinely have no idea. I can't track down an original source for it anywhere - though it is a claim made on the website of the Institute of Directors - albeit with the qualification that "estimates vary", something Cameron neglected to mention.
But what is the real figure? How much say does the EU have in business regulations? Well, handily enough, last month the British Chambers of Commerce produced a report (PDF) investigating precisely this issue, "Worlds Apart: The British and EU Regulatory Systems" - their seventh annual report into the subject, and the fifth comparing the British and EU systems. Their conclusion?
In terms of the number of regulations, the EU this year accounted for only 20%. The reduction from the previous EU level of about 30% is the primary reason for the overall decline in 2007/8.Hmmm… Only 20%, you say? And the proportion of EU regulations is declining, you say? So where did Cameron get his "almost half" from?
The House of Commons Library's 9.1% claim
Also on Question Time last week was Europe Minister Caroline Flint, who trotted out the usual defence against the above eurosceptic claims about the EU's influence that just 9.1% of UK laws stem from the EU. the report in question can be found as a PDF in the depths of the UK Parliament site.
The study was conducted by the (politically independent) House of Commons Library between 1998 and 2005, based on the statutory instruments passed with references to European legislation, because "The vast majority of EC legislation is enacted by statutory instruments under section 2 (2) of the European Communities Act." It also helpfully breaks these laws down by department - the most affected of which are Defra - which deals with the Common Agricultural and Common Fisheries Policies, so no surprises there - and the Department of Trade and Industry - hardly surprising with the Common Market and all. Both departments saw about 50% of their legislation having some kind of EU origin - which could, via the DTI, be where Cameron got his "almost half" figure from, perhaps?
But is the 9.1% figure accurate? Is just looking at statutory instruments fair, when this means that normal legislation, via parliament itself, can be left out? Open Europe (in the same post where they discussed and dismissed the 84% claim) make four key points:
1) They do not seperate between budgetary and regulatory legislation, therefore comparing apples and oranges.On point 1), of course, the EU has no say in the British budget and has no revenue-raising powers, so I'm not sure what they're trying to say. On point 2) they have a point - but how do you measure the "far-reaching" implications and economic impact of a directive, exactly? On point 3) they also have a point - which might explain why the British Chambers of Commerce have a higher estimate of 20%. Point 4), if we're hunting down the percentage of British laws that have an EU origin, is irrelevant.
2) They also compare apples and oranges in another respect: Directives are usually far-reaching measures with a big impact on the economy. SIs, in contrast, can cover a variety of issues, including public administration – for example a road closure or changing arrangements for parish elections.
3) EU Regulations (as opposed to Directives) usually don't give rise to a new UK law but are directly applicable. Therefore, most EU Regulations are not included in the 9% figure.
4) One Directive does not mean one SI. The Motor Vehicles Regulations in 2007 implemented four different Directives, for instance, making a one-for-one comparison tricky.
But considering that we're looking for a percentage of the *number* of laws that stem from the EU, it is worth bearing in mind that Statutory Instruments make up the bulk of all UK legislation, with an average of around 3,500 passed every year for much of the last two decades. In 2008, 3,389 Statutory Instruments were passed, while the UK Statute Law Database lists 2,414 results for the same year. With no study (that I'm aware of) having been conducted on how many of those have an EU origin, it is hard to tell the percentage.
However, with Statutory Instruments making up the bulk of UK legislation, and with most EU legislation brought into force via this method (having already been passed at EU level, there's generally no need for EU legislation to then be re-enacted at national level, after all), it's no great leap to suggest that the final percentage wouldn't be that much higher than 9%. Indeed, Labour MEP Richard Corbett has noted other studies in other EU member states:
6.3 percent according to the Swedish parliament, 12 percent according to the Finnish parliament and between 12 and 19 percent according to the Lithuanian parliamentThis would suggest that something in the region of 10-20% would be a fair guess for the UK as well (a range that has the added benefit of being backed up by the British Chambers of Commerce's recent study of regulations).
Bonus: How much does the EU cost us?
I've already discussed the actual costs of EU membership based on the UK's annual contribution, showing that the net cost is around £4 billion a year. But what about the cost to business and to the economy?
This is, of course, a hugely complex issue. How to estimate the impact of legislation on an entire country's economy? It's practically impossible, as without a control sample we can't tell how beneficial or detrimental any individual piece of legislation may be - let alone the impact of other pieces of legislation that may affect the same general area.
Nonetheless, the more enthusiastic among you may have noted, in the Open Europe piece quoted above, that the same post also gives Open Europe's own estimate that "72% of the cost of regulation is EU derived". Is this fair? Well, it's only an estimate, and I haven't seen their workings, so it's hard to tell.
However, let's return to that British Chambers of Commerce report, also linked above. What do they have to say about the costs of EU regulation?
By value, EU legislation was only responsible for about 0.1% (£1.9m) of regulatory net costs in 2007/8 and virtually all business burdening regulatory activity can be attributed to Whitehall.Oh… would you look at that?
No one agrees on how much legislation and regulation stems from the EU. The 9.1% figure stated by the House of Commons Library is too low, as it only covers Statutory Instruments, not ALL laws; the higher figures of 84%, 75% and even 50% claimed by the likes of Hannan, Farrage and Cameron are based on miscalculations, misunderstandings, or sources unknown, and often derive from parts of the EU other than just the UK - and so with no hard evidence to support them must be dismissed as either too high or inapplicable to the British situation.
What is the true figure? No one knows. So any claims that state hard and fast percentages should - if we're being intellectually honest - be treated with equal suspicion.
Not that any of this is likely to change the opinions of those eurosceptics convinced of the malicious and all-pervading influence of the EU on our daily lives, of course. But still. I've looked for the evidence, and this is what I've tracked down. If you know different, please do let me know - I'm interested in the truth of the situation, as without total transparency, such misinformation, misunderstandings and resentments are only going to grow.

Microscopy techniques capable of detecting individual molecules and providing quantitative data have the potential to offer great biological insight. However, such approaches require the efficient capture of light. In this application note, Dr. Mark Hink demonstrates how the use of new silicone immersion objective lenses from Olympus, have enabled his team to maximize the capture of emitted light. The use of silicone oil for fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) is shown to greatly facilitate the production of brighter images and more sensitive analysis. The use of silicone oil has the potential to improve all forms of fluorescence microscopy.

40 years after revolution, Portugal is angry
Euphoria gripped Portugal during the 1974 Carnation Revolution, when junior army officers swept away a four-decade dictatorship. The almost bloodless coup brought what for the Portuguese were novelties -- the right to vote, universal health care, public education, old-age pensions and labor rights.

Maia was one of the captains that led the soldiers taking part in the April 25 1974 revolution that restored democracy in Portugal. The mural was painted by 33-year old street artist Miguel Januario who said he held dear the changes brought by an event he didn't live through, "but since then we've allowed new forms of dictatorship, in this case financial, to take over."

LAB 4: Community Level Testing for Richness as Functional Metabolic Diversity & for Community Co-operative Behavior
Community Level EXOENYMES PREVALENCE con't:
In Lab3 you started a quantitative assessment of the prevalence of microbial digesters of cellulose, starch, and for solubilizers of phosphates. Think about why we chose to test for your soil community's ability to process these particular nutrients. Consider the difference in soil microbial communities in different habitats. Should your microbial community have the same prevalence of starch, cellulose, or phosphate processors as other habitats, such as a real tropical habitat (rather than an artificial one) or compared to the New England cold temperate soil outside the greenhouse? What are the factors that might make the preval
Today you will complete the colony counts from the differential media that you inoculated with dilute soil extract last week. You and your group members will perform calculations that assess the prevalence of community members able to perform these valuable functions. We will also talk about how your carbon source utilization profiling is progressing.
Examine the plates for evidence of digestion or processing of a particular nutrient (starch, cellulose or insoluble phosphates) in each of the differential culture medium. Remember that these differential media are not selective (they aren't designed to inhibit the growth of any groups of soil microorganisms), but they are differential media, in that they allow you to visibly SEE the difference in particular groups of microbes---in our case, between those that produce and secrete a functional exoenzyme and those that don't. You will count the number of individual colonies showing a clear zone (halo) around the colony (using the plate with 30-300 total colonies) and compare those numbers with the number at the same soil dilution that grew on NA- a general purpose, non-differential medium. Why does a halo indicate digestion of starch, cellulose, or processing of insoluble phosphate into a soluble form?
1. Count the total number of colonies on the Nutrient Agar plate and assess total culturable CFUs. Use the soil extract dilution of the plates counted to calculate CFUs/gram of soil (wet weight) for each assessment medium. If you divide the number of colonies counted by the amount of inoculum plated times the dilution factor of that plate, you will obtain the number of cultivatable bacteria per gram of soil.
number CFU/dilution plated*dilution factor = number of CFU/gram
For example, if you counted 150 colonies on the 10-3 plate the calculation is:
150/(0.1ml plated*1X10-3dilution)= 150X104 which in scientific notation is written as 1.5X106 CFU/gram
2. Flood the starch plate with a thin layer of Grams iodine and count the number of colonies that show starch digestion activity as a clear zone or non-blue halo around the colony).
3. Count the number of colonies that show cellulose digestion activity as a clear zone or halo around the colony.
4. Count the number of colonies that show phosphate solubilizing activity as a clear zone or halo.
5. Calculate the % positive for the enzymatic activity for each assay (# positive colonies x dilution factor/total colony count x dilution factor [on nutrient agar] ) X 100. This correction for dilution factor allows you to compare the CFUs counted from different dilutions on plates. If you are able to use control (NA) and test plates from the same dilution (each has between 30-300 colonies), you can omit the dilution factor. This is the total number of CFUs/gram of wet soil of microorganisms able to perform the role of interest.
6. Add your data to the course spreadsheet on the instructor's computer. Be sure to click File Save after you enter your data.
Isolation of Interesting and Diverse Bacteria
Continue to isolate to pure culture interesting bacterial members of your soil community. Directions found in the Protocols section of the wiki at Cuture Media: General Purpose, Selective, Enrichment, Differential, & Assessment of Digestive Exo-Enzymes
Directions for Streaking for Isolation onto new solid media is found at Streaking for Isolation
Your goal is for each student to end up with ~4 pure cultures of genera of bacteria that are different from each other and different from those of your teamates.
Once you believe you have pure isolates, continue to subculture to fresh plates each week (isolation streak a colony onto a fresh plate), in subsequent labs you will make a bacterial smear and do a Gram stain and start other tests to explore the physical and metabolic characteristics of this isolate. Generally the medium used is the isolation medium, however, at some point you may want to test the ability of your isolates to grow on nutrient agar. If your organism grows well on nutrient agar, you can streak on this medium each week and stop using the original isolation medium. Ask you instructor if you are not sure what to do.
1. All culture plates that you are finished with should be discarded in the big orange autoclave bag near the sink next to the instructor table. Ask your instructor whether or not to save stock cultures and plates with organisms that are provided.
2. Culture plates, stocks, etc. that you are not finished with should be labeled on a piece of your your team color tape. Place the labeled cultures in your lab section's designated area in the incubator, the walk-in cold room, or at room temp. in a labeled rack. If you have a stack of plates, wrap a piece of your team color tape around the whole stack.
3. Remove tape from all liquid cultures in glass tubes. Then place the glass tubes with caps in racks by the sink near the instructor's table. Do not discard the contents of the tubes.
4. Glass slides or disposable glass tubes can be discarded in the glass disposal box.
5. Make sure all contaminated, plastic, disposable, serologic pipets and used contaminated micropipet tips are in the small orange autoclave bag sitting in the plastic container on your bench.
6. If you used the microscope, clean the lenses of the microscope with lens paper, being very careful NOT to get oil residue on any of the objectives other than the oil immersion 100x objective. Move the lowest power objective into the locked viewing position, turn off the light source, wind the power cord, and cover the microscope with its dust cover before replacing the microscope in the cabinet.
7. If you used it, rinse your staining tray and leave it upside down on paper towels next to your sink.
8. Turn off the gas and remove the tube from the nozzle. Place your bunsen burner and tube in your large drawer.
9. Place all your equipment (loop, striker, sharpie, etc) including your microfuge rack, your micropipets and your micropipet tips in your small or large drawer.
10. Move your notebook and lab manual so that you can disinfect your bench thoroughly.
11. Take off your lab coat and store it in the blue cabinet with your microscope.
12. Wash your hands.

Last Sunday was basically Saber Lily ~ Distant Avalon Day. It rained heavily in the afternoon but I was planning to try an indoor shoot anyway. Lesson Number One: You can never have too many lights [but only if they are all the same type to avoid white balance problems]. Indoor lighting just doesn't give an image the same richness as diffused morning/evening sunlight. I basically conscripted every movable light (and broke one in the course of doing of so. orz) Lesson Number Two: It can be surprisingly dusty in what seems like a clean room. I often had to stop halfway and use the little rubber blower to remove some errant piece of dust just floated by and then just happily attached itself to the lens. After a while, I just gave up. (15 large images follow)
Aah, I do so love her trio of black ribbons.
I used a blue vanguard sheet as the background during the morning shoot. But inspired by kodomut's amazing review (via radiant dreamer), I went out to buy a larger black mounting board to use as the background for this shoot.
But it still wasn't quite big enough. So I had to chop up and crop a lot of the photos because every so often some part of the figure would stick out of the background and the rest of the room intrude into the photo. But cropping is an interesting (if time consuming) activity in of itself and I can't say that I'm completely displeased with having had to do it.
Side and back profiles. The latter, methinks, emphasizes another one of my favourite aspects of this figure which is her petite little waist – emphasized every time when I pick her up.
Besides her waist, her upper torso's exposed areas really stand out. I particularly like how the curve of her pectorals melds into the swell of her bust which is then tucked under her armour-dress, a perfect and very sexy combination of princess and knight.
I'm pretty sure Saber would not be pleased at all with this shot but it seems to me that no review is complete with a tj_han shot. Though everyone at the shop took a peek at her pantsu when I took her out of the box immediately following my purchase.
These two photos really drove home to me how my position, and thus the angle of the shot, could affect the result [only because the unadvised mix of incandescent and fluorescent lighting, my bad]. The one on the right is more elevated than the one on the left but, even with the lighting setup being exactly the same, produced quite different results.
Vivid demonstration of the More is Merrier it is when it comes to lightning and its end result after some basic Photoshopping; left (top + bottom) are without Photoshop's Auto Levels and right (top + bottom) are with – almost the same for the top row but quite a difference for the bottom row.
The lighting setup was four ceiling lights (two warm white incandescent and two daylight energy saving) with one fluorescent desk lamp for right-side illumination and a large halogen standing lamp (titled precariously and propped up by random furniture) at 45 deg which was the illumination source from the left and also the brightest of the lot. The top row had this last light turned off compared to the bottom row which was on. Besides banishing the shadow over her face, it also allowed the Auto Levels to give a much more even feel to the whole picture. Would have been even better if I could have rigged up a diffuser to shine on her front though.
Last installment will be the outdoor late afternoon/evening shoot.

I happened to find this website last week and have thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts of D-Word documentary filmmakers. The same week, I found a copy of Doug Block's latest documentary, "The Kids Grow Up" at our local library and totally related to the interaction with his daughter before she started her university studies. In April, I attended the 2012 Full Frame Film Festival in Durham, NC. with the panel discussion that included Doug, Ross McElwee and Alan Berliner and was impressed with the great filmmaking that can be done about an individual's family.
In recent years, my part-time film making, has trended towards event documentaries in my community. For the last two years, I documented the local high school marching band in their pre-season practices, performing at football games and at the their competitions. This has led to opportunities to film weddings and, of course, I'm always the uncle who doesn't put the video camera down at family events (everyone always enjoys the finished product).
My on-line blog contains links to some/portions of the films I've completed:
My other passion is watching documentary films. I have a list of all of the nominees for the Academy Awards Best Documentary Feature films since the 1940's and have been methodically watching each of these that I have been able to locate. I especially enjoy watching the filmmaker's commentary (when included on the DVD).

The greatest commodity choice trading method is one that suits the form of marketplace environment in which you are investing. Commodity selling prices are effectively acknowledged to be particularly unstable and unpredictable at instances. All you have to do is compare very long time period charts of some commodities like soybeans, sugar or oil to individuals of stocks and you'll swiftly comprehend how various the trading natural environment can be.
So it can be essential you opt for a commodity option buying and selling system that suits effectively with this variety of cost motion. One particular issue that really should be borne in thoughts is that the offer and desire for a lot of commodities are seasonal in naturel. Knowing this will assist you to acquire a trading approach that will take edge of this.
Which Commodity Choice Trading Program is Greatest?
Why don't we divide our dialogue into two sections right here.
1. Trending Markets
Comprehension the seasonal influences on commodity marketplace costs will help you to anticipate when a alter or continuation of trend is most very likely. This becoming the case, you can decide on to simply 'go long' (i.e. invest in) either contact or put selections, typically with at least 90 days to expiry, so that you can take advantage of this.
The ideal possibilities to purchase below these ailments are those that are possibly at-the-cash (ATM) or initially strike price tag out-of-the-funds (OTM). You really don't want to go too far away from that, or your option values will not raise significantly even with a massive transfer. OTM options are more cost-effective than ATM kinds, and this means your revenue possible is magnified once the choices are in-the-money. It is not unusual for a properly timed OTM alternative on a commodity to improve 1,000 p.c in value once a new pattern commences.
So never ever underestimate the link amongst seasonal elements on commodities and the advantage that recently trending markets offers.
The In-The-Funds Debit Pass on
This commodity selection investing technique is a great 1 for newly trending markets and includes getting an in-the-cash selection and promoting an out-of-the-cash alternative, the two with the similar expiry thirty day period. 1 benefit of this tactic, is that the implied volatility in the OTM option will put options generally be better than for the ITM alternative. This disparity not only lowers your preliminary costs, but ought to the price of the underlying go from you, the overpriced OTM 'sold' alternative worth will evaporate a lot additional rapidly than the ITM acquired choice, enabling you to repurchase the marketed selection for gain.
If the price of the underlying proceeds in your favour, the value of the ITM alternative will boost at a fee closer to the rate the underlying boosts, due to a higher delta and the marketed OTM selection will not knowledge this similar rate of improve right up until it turns into deeper in-the-money.
2. Volatile Markets
Commodity alternatives are in contrast to stock options in that the underlying is a product fairly than a organization. Products like wheat, sugar, oil and bonds are much more afflicted by purely natural disasters and worldwide news events than organization share charges, except if the company's fortunes are greatly connected with a particular solution.
For case in point, war breaks out in any center eastern nation. What transpires subsequent? Oil rates turn out to be very volatile. A hurricane sweeps over a main sugar making location. What happens? Sugar prices soar... and so on.
Implementing the appropriate kind of commodity solution buying and selling process as shortly as information of this kind breaks, can consequence in earnings that are not only nutritious, but rather risk-free as well.
The Straddle
Straddle or choice strangle positions in recently unstable markets can be really rewarding, as they are preferably tailored for massive moves within a short time frame. They are also non-directional, so you don't care which way the underlying price tag moves, as very long as it is substantial. Fairly usually, there will be an original reaction to the news, followed by a reversal when its consequences are known. This is the perfect time for the straddle or strangle to arrive into play.
The volatility that is preferably suited to these forms of trades normally operates greatest at the commencing of a bear industry. Bear markets are characterised by wild swings, as panic, adopted by buyers using up discount opportunities, will cause the current market to gyrate again and forth with significant swings.

The GPU Technology Conference (GTC) took place in San Jose California from May 14th to May 17th. The conference is the brainchild of GPU giant NVidia and looks to celebrate global awareness of GPU computing and visualisation as well as the importance of the future of science and innovation.
The event takes place over 3 days and brings together technical session, tutorial, panel discussions and moderated roundtables with some of the biggest thought leaders across a huge range of fields, including scientists, researchers, developers and engineers.
One of this year's keynote speakers was NVidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang with the help of Grady Cofer of Industrial Light & Magic who spoke about the use of NVidia GPUs to create some of this year's biggest movies in conjunction with products like Autodesk Maya and The Foundry's NUKE.
Cofer and ILM used NUKE on the action/sci-fi flick Battleship and demonstrated on real movie footage to show just how quick and easy NUKE is to use. To catch Cofer's keynote talk, see the above video.

The debate regarding WER's and Triple Glazing is set to continue for a long time to come. Is this whole issue simple a selling and marketing tool? Will WER's simply be overtaken by triple glazing in time to come?
Those in favour of triple glazing will market it on the basis that it offers higher window energy rating and promote the obvious benefit to the consumer.
The familiar window energy rating label has without doubt been a success for the end user. It is something they can recognise now. However like most things it is how the product is sold. Sales people need the right training and above all have the confidence to talk about both double and triple glazing and let the customer make an informed choice. Is it possible for both types of windows to live hand in hand? Yes!
If you are a double glazing salesman, embrace the change, learn your products, learn your competitors products. Offer the customer the choice. A house full of triple glazed windows may add up to £1000 to a complete installation. It is up to you as a sales person to explain to the customer the advantages and disadvantages of each. In this way you will demonstrate a professionalism of you and the company you represent that you are not there to just sell them windows but you are there to educate and inform at the same time.
The building regulations are set to change in 2013 and again in 2016. It is highly likely by 2016 an A rated window will be the required standard. As an industry, we have to embrace the changes. Legislation has changed, products have changed, people and business need to change. Business cannot survive without change.
Those who have adopted triple glazing early have the edge over their competitors. It is wrong for a company that doesn't offer it to "rubbish" the product. We have long advocated in this difficult market, the need for double glazing companies to offer a diverse product range to keep the consumer interested, to demonstrate that they are experts in all types of home improvements (not just pvc for example).
A simple A rated window will perform an adequate need for most homes, that is a given but if you are faced with competition from others you cannot simply dismiss the product to a customer who has asked you about triple glazing. Bear in mind those who have embraced it and are selling it now will be pushing it hard.
Whatever your views, we must embrace energy efficiency, the Green Deal, triple glazing and whatever else is set to change in the future. We must simply adapt our businesses and our product ranges to change. We will stand still if we don't.

Tom Kundig, FAIA, likens his six Rolling Huts to "a little Thoreau hut on Walden Pond," but Henry David Thoreau never had it so sweet.
The renovation of this vintage mid-century home bears Bohlin Cywinski Jackson's hallmark moves: the choreographed passages, the connection to the land, and the sense both of exuberance and calm.
Seattle-based Mithun always considered itself a regional firm with a strong focus on residential planning and design work, but in 2008 the collective opened a San Francisco office in a move forward as a more diverse and, it hopes, recession-proof company.
The owner of this Seattle kitchen remodel wanted more space with better light, but didn't want to feel like she was eating in a kitchen.
Working from their 1910 Craftsman home suited Daren Doss, AIA, and Lisa Chadbourne just fine-until their daughter was born.
Elegantly detailed materials culminate in lighthearted surprises in this master bath.
The clients for this Seattle kitchen remodeling job wanted more space and better light.
Part of the mystique of architects has traditionally come from their hand sketches, those fluid doodles that brilliantly capture the evolution of ideas.
SkB Architects loved its old offices in downtown Seattle, but the 22-person firm had outgrown the space. So partners Shannon Rankin, Kyle Gaffney, and Brian Collins-Friedrichs went looking for new digs with extreme makeover potential.
Eric Cobb's focus is on structure, simplicity, and surprise. His houses respond to the topology of the land while engaging it lightly. They're often thrust over a steep slope or wetland and rotated toward a chosen view—and not always the predictable one. Materials are abstract, durable, readily...
