SUNY Geneseo has canceled the remainder of its women's volleyball season, college officials announced Friday afternoon.
The team's season has been suspended and 11 current or former members, including three from Western New York, have been charged with first-degree hazing and first-degree unlawfully dealing with a child for allegedly providing alcohol to underage students at an off-campus party Sept. 2 that involved all but one member of the team.
Those charged include: Alysia A. Negron, 20, of Buffalo; Alexandra Wende, 20, of Williamsville; Julia Ganglof, 20, of Lancaster; Laura Galvin, 21, of Baldwinsville; Noelle Morrison, 20, of Stoneybrook; Sarah Dewey, 19, of Cooperstown; Carissa Gagliardi, 19, of Wantagh; Megan Johnson, 19, of Moriches; Laura Rahab, 21, of East Northport; Courtney Long, 20, of Rochester; and Megan Reed, 21, of Horseheads. They are scheduled to return to court at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 9.
The team will not participate in any practices or games.
Six freshman volleyball players said they were handcuffed, blindfolded and fed large quantities of vodka during an "initiation party."
One of the players, an 18-year-old from Rochester, said she chipped her tooth when she fell at the party and was left by her teammates to collapse outside from intoxication. She later had to have her stomach pumped after her blood alcohol level reached .26, more than three times the legal limit.
"We are grateful that all of our students are safe," SUNY Geneseo President Christopher C. Dahl said in a statement posted on the school's website. "Given what I have learned about these allegations, I strongly condemn the irresponsible behavior these students allegedly engaged in and will not tolerate it from of our students.
Unfortunately, it's a problem that much too often permeates the higher education community. Not only do such actions ignore the expectations and values of the college but they put lives at risk. We have firmly and frequently educated all students on our campus regarding College policies on hazing and alcohol consumption for many years and will continue to do so in the most aggressive ways possible."
The statement also said the students involved will be subject to a college review and could be subject to further review.
Geneseo has both a student code of conduct and an intercollegiate athletics code of conduct. According to the school website, the athlete code of conduct states:
"As student-athletes at Geneseo...we will display respect for teammates ... and ourselves at all times. We recognize that as student-athletes, we are often in situations where we receive greater scrutiny from fellow students and the extended community. In order to set an example for others to follow, we accept the challenge to hold ourselves to a higher standard both in and out of the classroom and on and off the playing field....Being cognizant of our status as student-athletes, we accept the fact that there may be consequences for any actions that do not comply with the standards set forth... "
The code lists behavior as a separate standard. Stating the following:
"Behavior ... such as abuse of alcohol/illegal drugs, gambling, fighting, and the general partaking in any illegal activities that result in the embarrassment of myself, my team, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation or the college could result in immediate dismissal from our program."

|Lights illuminate the entrance at the Maverik Country Store located at 891 East Main Street in Price. On May 29, local law enforcement officers responded to a robbery complaint at the store. Price police are searching for a male subject reported involved the armed robbery incident.
Police in Price are searching for a suspect in connection with an alleged aggravated robbery that occurred early Monday morning at a local convenience store.
The Price City Police Department released limited details regarding the incident which occurred sometime after 3:30 a.m. at the Maverik Country Store located at 891 East Main Street.
The store is located just east of the Sun Advocate, across the street from CJ's Do-It Center.
Price Police Capt. Kevin Drolc explained that the suspect reportedly entered the store and demanded all the money in the register.
One clerk was working near the counter and complied with the demand.
A second employee was reported to have been behind the coolers, stocking merchandise.
Police did not release how much money was taken, although a notice to employees at the two Maverik stores in Price indicated that the amount was less than $200.
Convenience stores typically do not keep large sums of money in the registers at night.
As a result, criminals who rob them at night do not typically take extremely large amounts of cash.
"He acted like he had a concealed weapon," indicated Drolc.
The Price police captain explained that the suspect appeared to have a concealed weapon in his pants pocket.
"A weapon was never actually brandished," pointed out Drolc.
Still, police are calling the incident an aggravated robbery because the subject appeared to have a weapon.
Security cameras at the store captured the incident and Drolc indicated that the department is currently reviewing the recordings.
The perpetrator reportedly made an effort not to be identified. But police are looking for a white male between 5 feet 9 inches and 6 feet tall with a slender to medium build.
At the time if the incident, Drolc said the subject was wearing a stocking cap, a black long sleeve shirt, blue Levis and white running shoes.
After employees met the demands, the suspect reportedly left the scene on foot and was last seen running westbound on Main Street.
After the subject left, employees called 911.
Within minutes, Price officer Kevin Mele responded to the scene.
Mele was joined by Carbon County Sheriff deputies Chris Basso and Chris Gigliotti.
Law enforcement secured the scene and began searching for the subject.
"We're working hard on [the case] and we're developing leads as we speak. Hopefully, we'll have an arrest soon. But right now, there's not much to go on," he said.
The Price police department encourages residents with information pertaining to the incident to contact Detective Tracy Allred at 636-3190.

Is Atheism Rationally Coercive?
I'm just trying to get at the truth. I was an ardent atheist for a number of years, but gradually came to believe that the theistic worldview and the arguments for it are more consistent with my experience of the world and my philosophic intuitions (which we all rely upon when thinking these things through). I've changed my mind in the past, and I'm certainly open to doing it again in the future. I don't think that my position is rationally coercive, but I do think that it's rational, just as I would say (and I presume John would agree) that the arguments for atheism aren't rationally coercive, but atheism is rational. LINKFirst off I really appreciate Eric's honesty and willingness to consider his faith to be in error. Not many believers will say what he did, and for that I find it a joy to discuss these issues with him, even if we both think the other person is wrong. Kudos to him! Can I say the same thing?
Am I open to the possibility that I'm wrong? Well, it depends on the question. If the question is whether there was a supernatural force or being who may have created a quantum wave fluctuation which caused this universe to spring into existence as his last act before dying, then yes, I could be wrong. Such a being might have existed. Nor am I 100% sure no supernatural force or being exists now. But if the question is whether evangelical Christianity is true or many other moderate to liberal versions of that faith, then yes, I am very sure. Do I think there is a slightest chance that I might be wrong about Christianity? No. In fact, I am so sure I'm right that I'm willing to risk being thrown into hell for all of eternity. I think this says a lot about how assured I am that I'm correct.
That being said, do I think arguments for atheism aren't rationally coercive? Yes, that's what I think. Let me explain by defining the words "atheism" and "rationally" as well as what it means for something to be "coercive". These distinctions need to be fleshed out to see why I say this.
If the word "atheism" means "metaphysical naturalism," as Eric and many Christian theists equate the terms, then I do not think "metaphysical naturalism" is "coercive" in the sense that the evidence compels people to accept it. One could affirm deism, or the philosopher's god. If the word "atheism" is defined as simply "the lack of a belief in God," then that too is not rationally coercive, if for no other reason but that rational people disagree (as I'll explain later when it comes to the word "rationally"). I do think that agnosticism is rationally coercive, if by that we mean a skeptical method for assessing truth claims. We should all be agnostics in the Huxleyan sense. I also think agnosticism is rationally coercive if by that we mean the view that we just don't know why the universe exists (known as "soft-agnosticism"). We must all admit this is the default positon before making any positive claims about the origins of existence. I just happen to think this kind of agnosticism leads us to atheism though, as defined in either sense above.
When it comes to what it is that makes a person reasonable or "rational," this is a complex topic. If people can only be considered rational if they are correct, then there are a few serious problems to be dealt with which cannot be satisfactorily answered. For one, how is it possible for a rational person to change his mind and still be considered a rational person both before and after changing his mind? Did he all of a sudden become rational because he changed his mind for the truth, or did he become irrational because he changed his mind and is now wrong? Besides, how do we describe what it means to be rational when all of us are surely right about some things and yet wrong about other things? Are we just rationally schizophrenic human beings? Furthermore, how can we tell when someone is rational if being rational means being correct, since everyone is influenced by non-rational emotional factors having to do with what William James described as our passionate natures? If we are to judge whether someone is wrong about an issue and hence irrational, then how sure can we be that we are not wrong and therefore irrational ourselves?
If instead we think being rational means following the rules of logic, then rational people can be dead wrong and still be rational. All they have to do is follow the rules of logic to be rational. Rational people can be dead wrong simply because they start with a false assumption. If they take a false assumption as their starting point then they may be perfectly rational to follow that assumption with good logic to its logical conclusion, even though their conclusion is wrong. They would be wrong not because they are irrational, but because they started with a wrong assumption.
To people who think we should have no assumptions I merely say that we must all assume some things if for no other reason than that we can never examine everything we accept to be true all at once. Ideas which are not subject to conscious scrutiny form a set of background beliefs which are used in assessing a given issue at hand. Our conclusions on these other issues are our accumulated set of assumptions. Yes, we must try to examine everything we accept one at a time, but we can never examine all of that which we accept as true. Just as Michael Polanyi effectively argued that we know more than we can tell, we also accept more than we can justify. Have you, for instance, ever serious examined whether or not communication is even possible between two people? Some philosophers have, and at least one ancient Greek philosopher named Cratylus concluded this was impossible. Given that conclusion of his, Cratylus merely wiggled his finger whenever he was asked a question, which, if he was correct, was the logical thing to do even if it might seem irrational. Your assumption that we do communicate is just that, an assumption, until you actually examine the arguments to the contrary. Was Cratylus correct? I don't think so. But even if he was wrong he was still being rational. In the same sense I think George Berkeley was wrong for arguing there was no physical universe even if I think he was rational in doing so, and I do.
As another example, I personally think the logic of the Inquisition was impeccable, but absolutely wrong because it assumed God was the author of certain Biblical texts that justified it. As another example, if a believer assumes God exists then this might lead him to logically conclude God is the author of morality and that there is a life after death. The logic is probably there, at least for believers. It's just that their starting assumption is false.

University and Housing Policies for Lake Campus
Wright State University Lake Campus, through the Office of Community Standards and Student Conduct, have instituted policies in order to promote a safe community conducive to academic success.
All students at Wright State University must abide by the Student Code of Conduct; in addition, there are policies in the Code that are specific to University Housing. The Residence Services Sourcebook is specific only to residential students.
Please take the time to review these policies so that you will know the behavior that is expected from students living in campus housing at Wright State University-Lake Campus.
Apartment Unit Standards
What are Unit Standards?
Unit Standards are negotiated in an apartment unit between roommates. Unit Standards are the agreements made by the residents in a given apartment unit concerning how we will relate to each other and treat each other. Unit Standards are a process by which we begin forming a healthy community through dialogue, compromise, and commitment. Unit Standards evolve and therefore the process is never finished. Because Unit Standards evolve, they should not be thought of as a task to be completed but as a means by which interactions continuously occur.
An important aspect of Unit Standards is discussing and deciding how we will hold ourselves accountable for agreements and expectations. Discussing the issue of responsibility and accountability of each roommate to every other roommate can be difficult. This difficulty comes because many of us believe that someone else (i.e., a housing assistant, University Police, Community Director) is responsible for "making sure that I get exactly what I want." Another way to think of this is that many of us do not want to stand up for ourselves. Equally difficult can be the thought of holding a roommate - who is a peer - to a standard.
Unit Standards is an on-going process that defines mutual expectations for how the roommates in a unit will function on an interpersonal level. Unit Standards further provide a mechanism for the roommates of a unit to respond to behaviors that violate the agreements of the unit.
Why have Unit Standards?
In Residence Life at Wright State University and the Lake Campus, we advocate for the fact that you, college students, are maturing adults. This means that you are making choices and learning from the outcomes of your choices. The young adult years are perceived as years of freedom, experimentation, limit finding, and limit testing. If the experiences during these years are to lead to an increased ability to make mature judgments, then you must have the opportunity to make decisions so that you can experience the result of those decisions. An important area of decision-making for college students concerns lifestyle and personal conduct.
Traditional college-age people typically reject "rules" imposed from the "outside". They may reject authorities who appear to be trying to deny them their "freedom" or "independence". At the very same time they may become angry with authorities who don't meet their needs at the time when they want their needs met. Unit Standards provide a means by which your expectations of the authority to meet your needs are shifted to a recognition that the individual and the community must work together to create an environment that best meets every ones' needs. The authority (your Community Director) becomes a person who helps this process to happen instead of someone who fixes things for you or someone who always punishes behavior that is not in line with expectations.
If every student lived in perfect isolation, he or she could conduct him or herself in any way. In reality, we exist within a tightly networked society. This means our behavior impacts other people, and in the same way, the behavior of other peoples impacts us. Because we are affected by one another's behavior, we tend to have expectations about what we consider proper for the other person to do. We may or may not realize that our behavior affects others or we may believe that everyone has the same expectations that we have. This last concept can extend to a point where we believe that everyone has the same expectations at the same time, i.e., "if I want to listen to music now, everyone wants to listen to music now," or, "if I don't mind dirty dishes in the sink for a night or two then that will be fine with everyone in the unit."
If we are to live together in reasonable harmony, we must have the opportunity to express our expectations of how we want to be affected by others. By discussing these expectations you hear the range of expectations and therefore have a harder time holding on to the belief that everyone does "X" or that everyone wants the same thing that you want. Out of an awareness of expectations, you and your roommates can discuss your different expectations and come to agreement on ways that you can live with the differences or compromise around the differences. This process may not be easy because it requires many people to achieve new understandings and new behaviors quickly. One of these is the ability to consider another's point of view as being valid and thus needing to be taken into consideration in one's point of view.
The context of learning that is created by the Unit Standards discussion can be a powerful tool to encourage student development and a healthy community. We have already identified how the process can cause an awareness of others. It can also encourage you to build self-esteem through declaring oneself, through assertive interactions, and through the empowerment that comes from group agreement. By establishing Unit Standards and shared responsibility, you and your roommates are empowered to deal with problems before they occur.
What about Housing and University Policies & Procedures?
The University has policies and procedures by which all residents must abide. They represent the basic safety and management issues necessary to assure reasonable quality-of-life for all residents. Primarily they establish minimum behavioral expectations and are in agreement with local, state, and federal laws. Unit Standards do not replace these, nor may they be in violation of these. For example, a unit may not form a standard that their quiet hours will begin at 2:00 a.m. as Student Services and Residence Life & Housing have an established policy about quiet hours. However, these policies and procedures are of such basic nature that they should not impede a unit's ability to create the standards they desire.
How are Unit Standards developed?
Unit Standards are developed through group discussion and consensus. Through this format each resident is afforded the opportunity to assert his/her point of view. An underlying tenet of this system is the belief that in order to have one's needs met, one must accept responsibility for participation in the system designed to negotiate one's needs. Through implementing the Unit Standards model, we are providing the opportunity for you to learn that you are responsible for your experience, and that you are not simply passive recipients of your experience. Recognition of this concept can lead to personal empowerment.
Weapons Policy
Wright State University-Lake Campus is committed to preserving the safety, security, and well-being of all residential students and their guests. Students, parents, siblings, and guests who may assist a student in packing and moving to campus must be aware of some important policies.
The use, possession, or carrying of weapons, including, but not limited to, pistols, rifles, shotguns, air soft guns, paintball guns, all pellet/BB guns, dangerous knives, ammunition, or any stun device, or other dangerous weapons is prohibited while on university-owned or controlled property, or at university-sponsored or supervised activities, except by university police officers and other persons specifically authorized by the University. For fire and general safety reasons the possession of firearms, ammunition, firecrackers, explosive or combustible materials, and/or injury threatening weapons are strictly prohibited.
Individuals found to be in possession of a firearm may be subject to immediate cancellation of their Campus Housing Agreements and will face further university disciplinary and/or criminal action. The above mentioned policy also applies to guests of residents when they are visiting residents on campus.
A resident who hosts a guest is responsible for the guest's conduct at all times, as well as any damages incurred by that guest. Guests must comply with all university and community policies. Guests who violate a policy may be asked to leave the community and/or university property, and may be subject to further university action.
Please be aware of these policies when considering which items to bring to campus. Every student is responsible for knowing the rules and regulations of the university, so it is important for you to read the Wright State University:
Visitation and Overnight Guest Policy
- All residents are required to participate in the Unit Standards process wherein typical roommate issues, including the hosting of guests, must be discussed, agreed to, and written in contract form. In addition to this formal process, roommates are encouraged to talk to one another about their equitable use of the room.
- The right of a resident to occupy her or his room/apartment without the presence of a guest takes precedence over the privilege of a resident to host guests.
- A resident who hosts a guest is responsible for the guest's conduct at all times, as well as any damages incurred by that guest. The host must be with the guest at all times. Guests are not permitted to be unescorted, and may not be left unattended in the host's living unit. Violation of this policy may result in, but is not limited to, loss of visitation privileges, relocation of the violating host(s), or cancellation of the housing agreement of the violating host(s).
- Guests must comply with all university and community policies. Guests who violate a policy may be asked to leave the community and/or university property, and may be subject to further university action.
- Residents are encouraged to host no more than two guests, and are expected be considerate of the rights of their neighbors.
- The residents' unit standards agreement must reflect an acceptance and willingness to occasionally host overnight guests. The right of a resident to occupy her or his room/apartment without the presence of an overnight guest takes precedence over the privilege of a resident to host overnight guests.
- The privilege of hosting an overnight guest is intended for infrequent, special occasions only. Under no circumstances are residents permitted to host overnight guests on consecutive weekdays or weekends as this is an imposition on the rights of the roommate(s) whether the roommate(s) is present or not.
- Prior to hosting an overnight guest, the host resident must obtain the consent of the roommate(s) and inform the Community Director of the guest for safety purposes. Registration of overnight guests is required throughout the duration of the housing agreement or lease, including break periods.
- Failure to register overnight guests will result in, but is not limited to, loss of overnight guest visitation privileges, relocation of the violating host(s), or cancellation of the housing agreement of the violating host(s).

Parent Guide
Welcome Parents!
Whether this is your first experience with higher education or another step in a long family tradition, you know that this is a critical passage for your son or daughter. As they take on new challenges, they prepare for full-fledged adulthood. It is our privilege to participate in that process.
Residence Life & Housing actively pursues to enhance the quality of life on campus, to support the academic needs of resident students and to compliment the academic goals of Wright State University. Your student will be invited to become a full partner in this endeavor. National research and our experience show that students who live on campus perform better academically and graduate earlier than their off-campus counterparts. I ask that you encourage your student to take full advantage of this marvelous opportunity.
The staff of Residence Life & Housing is committed to providing students with safe, clean, well-maintained, reasonably priced housing where both academic success and personal growth are promoted. So, please call on us if we can help in any way.
What to Expect
The first year of college can be a very exciting, yet challenging, experience. Students may be leaving home for the first time and may be feeling a great deal of anxiety about the exploration, affirmation, and independence that lies ahead. The parent's role during this time is an integral part of the experience. How you respond to your student's concerns can have a great impact on his or her adjustment and success.
Being a parent of a first-year college student can be difficult at times. You may have feelings of frustration and helplessness. Parents must be prepared to listen and answer such concerns as "I don't like my roommate" or "this professor doesn't like me," or even "I want to come home." These are common first-year students' statements and can play an important part of the valuable process your students will undertake while establishing independence.
Parents should challenge themselves to be supportive while still allowing their student to take the proper steps towards adulthood. A common term used at colleges and universities is "empowerment," which, in this context, means to provide students with the skills and resources needed to make responsible decisions. Even while at home, parents play an important role in the process.
Common Concerns Of First Year Students
Most students at one time or another experience homesickness. It is common for first-year students to feel it, especially during the first six weeks on campus. Parents can help by listening to their student and validating his or her feelings, offering to come and visit their son or daughter instead of having him or her come home, and/or encouraging their student to speak to a residence hall staff member or the counseling center.
"There is nothing to do here"
First-year college students may have difficult time getting involved at first. Although students do have to take some initiative, opportunities to get involved are available at virtually every corner- intramural activities, student leadership organizations, athletic teams and events, and social functions. If your student complains that he or she has nothing to do, please refer him or her to the Student Organization Complex located in the Student Union Atrium; here your student can find the offices of the major six campus organizations and find out about going to events or getting involved. Also, residence hall staffs regularly offer social and educational programs right in the building, giving students an opportunity to interact with their neighbors and learn skills that can help in class performance.
Academic Anxiety
Academic anxiety is a problem for many first-year students. College coursework is very different then curriculum in most high schools. Common anxieties among college students include time and priority management, scholarships pressures, and the structural differences between a typical college and high school day.
If you sense that your student is experiencing anxiety related to his or her classes and/or course work, a number of resources are available on campus to help: class instructors, Community Directors, Resident Assistants, and the Office of Counseling and Wellness Services.
Roommate Conflicts
When two people live in close quarters, conflict is bound to arise. Quite often conflicts arise because roommates fail to communicate their expectations. If your student has a problem with a roommate, encourage him or her to sit down and calmly discuss the situation with his or her roommate. If you feel the individuals involved need assistance resolving their conflict, refer them to the Resident Assistant or Community Director. Staff will attempt to first resolve any conflicts with a roommate agreement. Most students find it extremely beneficial to complete a Roommate Contract at the beginning of the school year. The Roommate Contract is a tool in which all roommates sit down together and discuss rules for the room. Establishing parameters at the beginning of the year helps set tone for the remainder of the year. If necessary, an RA or the Community Director may participate as mediator if necessary. The Roommate Contract becomes extension to the Student Code of Conduct should problems arise.
Safety and Security Tips
Living on campus today presents students with the unique opportunity to live and learn among a wide variety of peers and have a variety of experiences in doing so. In an effort to make this experience a positive one for students, Residence Life & Housing takes steps to ensure that certain needs are met, among them the need for safety and security. These steps include keeping hallway entrances locked 24 hours a day and making sure that a staff member (CA, PL, etc.) is on duty in each area whenever the Community Office is closed.
Even though Wright State takes these precautionary steps, there are steps you should take, too. In order to have more effective results when it comes to combating crime in the halls, it is important for residents to be empowered to take proactive steps to ensure their security. Developing simple habits from the moment you arrive on campus can head off big problems and headaches in the future.
- Lock your doors and carry your keys whenever you are away from your room. Students should do this even if they are only going next door. Remember that a thief does not need much time to ruin someone's day.
- Do not prop open any exterior doors, or allow them to be propped open. While propping a door open may be convenient for a student or their guests, remember that it is also convenient for a thief.
- Keep a record of the serial numbers on your television, computer, stereo, bike, etc. It is also helpful to keep pictures of these items. Students may also want to consider engraving these items with their initials or an identification number. Taking these steps can be of great help in identifying stolen valuables.
- Protect items such as credit and ATM cards. See to it that your PIN code is not written on either of these cards. Without this code, an ATM card is worthless to a thief.
- Report Theft. If, by some unfortunate circumstance, you should have some of your valuables stolen, you can still take action. The first thing you should do is tell your staff member (CA, CD, etc.), who can then fill out an Incident Report. The incident will then be on record with Residence Life & Housing. Next, you should file a report with the Wright State Police. You can then give them the serial numbers and copies of pictures that you have taken of your valuables.
Taking the aforementioned steps will greatly reduce the chances of you being victimized by a thief. While this is true, it is important to remember that these measures, which can be effective deterrents to crime, will only work if you take the initiative and responsibility to put them into practice.
Fire Safety
When the fire alarm sounds, you are required by law to evacuate the building, even in the event of a false alarm. The Fairborn Fire Marshall will administer fire drills randomly during the academic year. All individuals are to proceed 100 feet away from the building. Only when the alarm is silenced and the "All Clear" given by Residence Life & Housing Staff or the Wright State Police, may people re-enter the building. Students who do not vacate will be subject to judicial action.
Any student who knowingly or accidentally causes a fire will be handled through the Office of Judicial Affairs.
Sprinkler heads must not be tampered with, or used as a means to hang personal items. Some of our facilities are equipped with sprinkler systems that will extinguish most major fires. These sprinklers put out 250 gallons of water per minute. You may end up flooding your room and many others at the same time. Wright State is not responsible for the loss you may incur as a result of someone else's negligence. A resident who knowingly or accidentally causes a sprinkler to activate may be charged in the judicial process.
Worried About My Child!
Melissa A. Giles, former Associate Director for Residence Life
Having a child living away from home can be stressful for some parents. Many worried thoughts may be tumbling through your head; "will my son eat right?" "will my daughter get enough sleep?," "will my daughter go to class?," "will my son's roommate be a good one?," "I'm spending so much money!"; Please be assured that many parents worry about these issues when a child goes away to college. It's OK to worry.
If you'll indulge me in some reflection for a moment... Recall, if you can, a time when you experienced a difficult period in your life. What was that time? Were there people around to make the problem disappear? Probably not. Were there people around to assist you in working through the problem and/or to be a support to you while you got through the problem on your own? Probably. How did you resolve the problem? Did you learn anything from the experience? Probably. Are you a better person for having struggled through the difficult time and for having gotten through it on your own? Probably.
Your child will experience some trying times while she/he is away at college. The difficulty may be with classes, it may be with managing money, it may be with roommates, or it may be another problem. I can recall many times when I have had the inclination to attempt to protect the people I care about from painful experiences. However, over time I've come to realize that I can't protect people from trying times and experiences for their whole lives. Firstly, because it's just not possible. Secondly, because I know that I've learned a great deal from making it through some difficult times on my own. One of the ways in which people grow and develop is through navigating difficulties and persevering over those difficulties on their own. It is important to remember that college is a time for your student to grow and develop and that with growth and development comes some challenges that your student must face on his or her own with a supportive ear and/or shoulder from an adult who cares about her/him.
When your student calls or comes home and describes a problem to you, try first to listen reflectively. This means that you should let your student talk about the problem and try to paraphrase what you are hearing and pick-up on feelings that she/he is having about the issue. This will help your student to reflect on the issue and will help him/her to feel that they have a listening ear. Even if you know how you would solve the problem or even if you think that one phone call from you would clear it up, it's important to help your student come up with some possible solutions on her/his own and to try out those solutions, sometimes even if you know that the solution your student has chosen won't work.
If your student is having problems you should also know that there are residential community staff members and other university staff and faculty members that are here for support as well. In the residential communities there are staff members called Resident Assistants (RAs) who are also undergraduate students and who are specially trained to assist students in working through their difficult times and who also know a great deal about Wright State's resources. In the campus apartment communities the very same staff members Resident Assistants. There are also several professional staff members that your student could go to for assistance called Community Directors or Community Coordinators who are a third type of staff member, who are Master's Degree holding professionals, that your student could go to for support.
Good luck in your adjustment to this new phase of your child's life and remember, it's OK to worry. Just know that through navigating her/his own difficulties, your student is more likely to become a mature, well-adjusted adult!
Parental Contracts
Students Treated as Adults
With few exceptions, Wright State students are at least 18 years of age. As such, they are considered adults by both law and practice. We work to create a living environment where students can grow and develop. Part of this maturation process involves "testing limits and boundaries." Our judicial process certainly takes this into account. However, an adult student is expected to be responsible for his or her actions.
Contract with the Student
The housing contract is signed by the resident. All policies and procedures outlined within it, the terms and conditions, and our Sourcebook apply to the student.
Governed by FERPA
Because Wright State is a state and federally funded institution, we must follow the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) which prohibits Residence Life & Housing from releasing any information—besides the most basic "directory" information—about the student without the student's permission. This applies to family members. Housing administrative staff will use their best judgment about discussing roommates, finances, complaints, or other problems without the student's permission. In the case of dire emergency, we may choose to speak to family members. We do know this is frustrating—it is for us too—but we have very little "wiggle room" on this law.
Please feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or complete an online inquiry.

COR Development Co. has officially closed the deal to purchase the former Mercy Hospital site for its plans to redevelop the property into a mixed-use development of rental units and commercial space.
The Fayetteville developer has purchased about nine acres, consisting of four separate parcels, for $300,000 from MGNH Inc., Lake Katrine, for the project, according to property transaction records in the Jefferson County clerks office.
COR plans to start demolishing the mammoth complex this fall and transform it into 168 residential units and 42,000 square feet of street-level shops and offices.
The properties include nearly six acres containing a series of buildings at 218 Stone St.; a two-acre parking lot at 218 Rexford Place; a 1.15-acre parking lot at 213 Stone St., and a small parcel at 271 Arsenal St.
To get to this point, COR had to work through a series of legal title issues with both General Electric Capital, which held the mortgage, and MGNH to gain control of the property and avoid a lengthy foreclosure process.
The $65 million to $70 million project will include both market-rate apartments and affordable senior units. COR will use a $2 million grant to help pay the costs of the demolition, which may take six to eight months to complete.
While it goes through the demolition, COR also will work on going through the planning approval process.
The project also rids the city of the big headache of what to do with the complex, made up of a series of buildings that most recently housed a nursing home.
Without COR steeping in, city officials worried it would have cost the city millions to tear down the complex.
Samaritan Medical Center operated MGNHs Mercy Care Center of Northern New York in the complex until last April, when the last of the residents were moved to the recently completed Samaritan Summit Village on outer Washington Street.

Early Sunday morning Price Police Chief Aleck Shilaos' wife looked out front window of their home and saw that the chief's car had been wrapped in shrink wrap. It was wrapped very nicely and in fact went totally around and under the under the car.
There were also several small candy bars laying all over the vehicle. There was also the first name of the female person spelled out, with candy, on the hood.
On windshield was written, "It would be sweet if u go to the dance with me?"
It seemed the chief had a fan, and some fast explaining to do, but the mystery was resolved quickly.
The invite was determined to be from a teenager who was trying to invite a young man who lived across the street and who also drove a blue car. According to the chief he had moved away from that address some time ago, so the chief's car was the blue car on the block.
No one knows if the girl got the date or not with the young man, however, according to the chiefs wife, he was unable to attend the dance.

Coffee. Tea. Chocolate. Bananas. Almonds. Olive Oil. Geobars. Last year we decided to add cashew nuts into the mix of new products we sell to food co-ops and consumers. You could sense the excitement in the meeting rooms of Equal Exchange from the moment the decision was made. For over twenty five years, food co-ops have been some of our strongest allies.

How many of you shop at a farmer's market when you have the chance? Especially when you're traveling, don't you love stumbling upon a local farmer's market wherever you are? What better way to get to know a new place than by seeing what food is being produced in the area, and to see, smell, and touch the products; having the chance to meet the actual growers and learn what's involved in the cultivation and processing of the food you'll soon be eating is an extra bonus. Two years ago, when Equal Exchange decided to bring Geobars into the U.S., I couldn't help but think of this new product in much the same way: that these cereal bars were akin to walking through an international farmer's market, where apricots from Pakistan, blueberries and honey from Chile, rice from India and Thailand, and raisins from Chile and South Africa were being presented… only in my scenario, through our Geobars, we bring the farmer's market direct to you!

I spent yesterday morning walking around Valdivia, discovering some of the city's unique qualities. There's a bustling, but very manageable downtown area, a shady central park, river walkways and outdoor markets, a university campus with a beautiful botanical garden, and much more I haven't gotten to explore yet. The city is heavily influenced by the Germans and you can see it in the architecture, with lots of modern buildings, brightly painted wooden houses, pubs and at least one brewery.

In a previous post, we discussed why GoDaddy could sustain the peak load after its Super Bowl Ad campaign aired and why others like Kia wasted a lot of marketing money because its site availability dropped under the load. In this post, we will look at the technical details behind the impact of oversized pages, and how that may have been averted by kia.com.
Kia.com availability eventually dropping to 0% - see previous post
Lesson #1: Bloated Pages Will Kill Your Web Servers
Previously, I noted availability issues occurred for Kia during game time. The Kia team broke an important performance rule - large number of bytes transferred.
First, let's look at the anatomy of an American football fumble- play in motion, ball fumbled, pile-up ensues until possession is determined, then play is recovered or turned over.
Now, let's look at the anatomy of a heavy web page otherwise delivered successfully under normal load. First, heavy traffic volume begins. A connection pile-up ensues by putting massive campaign-based load on front-end. Front-end tipping point reached when established connections cannot complete bytes in motion faster than new connections are requested. Eventually, timeouts occur for new connections after 60 second inactivity, and the web site is barely in motion.
1. Heavy Traffic volume begins, 2. Connection pile-up, 3. Timeouts occur, and 4. eventually availability drops.
Kia's page was just over 20.1MB, and ranked 51 out of the 53 advertisers for heaviest byte count. Its tools should have made this fact obvious, unless it was deliberate. Either way, soon after its third quarter ad played, kia.com failed miserably
The following screenshot shows the drop in transferred bytes during game time when hitting the home page. At the same time we observed internal server errors and the socket timeouts which explain the actual problem. Web Servers couldn't handle the incoming load because they were busy delivering the very heavy weight content. Note: In my previous blog I identified the symptoms of socket timeouts, however, further investigation for this blog revealed a more prevalent symptom of internal server errors (HTTP Error code 500):
Transferred Bytes show Availability fell during the game
Socket Timeout Error:
Internal Server Error 500 - yes, this is a generic error message, but given what we know about kia.com's site performance the unexpected condition was encountered was likely due to excessive load and the servers inability to service that traffic:
Lesson #2: What Caused the Bloat?
To read on, about what caused the bloat - click here for the full article.
Takeaways for Developers
- Use free tools to analyze your web page such as AJAX Edition, and Performance Tests.
Takeaways for Performance Engineers
- Load Test 1.5x - 3x of your expected load. Make sure to test from different regions and browsers.
Takeaways for Business / Marketing
- Make sure the advertising dollars spent matches the money it will take to be sure that IT and Dev get it right.
In a future article, I will help answer these questions: is deploying SSL on a homepage a security requirement, a marketing tactic, or simply a misunderstood technology?

Overgrown applications have given way to modular applications, driven by the need to break larger problems into smaller problems. Similarly large monolithic development processes have been forced to be broken into smaller agile development cycles. Looking at trends in software development, microservices architectures meet the same demands. Additional benefits of microservices architectures are compartmentalization and a limited impact of service failure versus a complete software malfunction....

The last decade was about virtual machines, but the next one is about containers. Containers enable a service to run on any host at any time. Traditional tools are starting to show cracks because they were not designed for this level of application portability. Now is the time to look at new ways to deploy and manage applications at scale. In his session at @DevOpsSummit, Brian "Redbeard" Harrington, a principal architect at CoreOS, will examine how CoreOS helps teams run in production. Attende...

For it to be SOA – let alone SOA done right – we need to pin down just what "SOA done wrong" might be. First-generation SOA with Web Services and ESBs, perhaps? But then there's second-generation, REST-based SOA. More lightweight and cloud-friendly, but many REST-based SOA practices predate the microservices wave. Today, microservices and containers go hand in hand – only the details of "container-oriented architecture" are largely on the drawing board – and are not likely to look much like S...

DevOps has often been described in terms of CAMS: Culture, Automation, Measuring, Sharing. While we've seen a lot of focus on the "A" and even on the "M", there are very few examples of why the "C" is equally important in the DevOps equation. In her session at @DevOps Summit, Lori MacVittie, of F5 Networks, will explore HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 along with Microservices to illustrate why a collaborative culture between Dev, Ops, and the Network is critical to ensuring success.

Containers have changed the mind of IT in DevOps. They enable developers to work with dev, test, stage and production environments identically. Containers provide the right abstraction for microservices and many cloud platforms have integrated them into deployment pipelines. DevOps and Containers together help companies to achieve their business goals faster and more effectively.

Docker is hot. However, as Docker container use spreads into more mature production pipelines, there can be issues about control of Docker images to ensure they are production-ready. Is a promotion-based model appropriate to control and track the flow of Docker images from development to production? In his session at DevOps Summit, Fred Simon, Co-founder and Chief Architect of JFrog, will demonstrate how to implement a promotion model for Docker images using a binary repository, and then show h...

HANOVER, N.H. The Clarkson University mens hockey team survived a sluggish second period and defeated Dartmouth College 3-2 in an ECAC Hockey game Friday night at Thompson Arena.
Clarkson (8-2-1 overall, 2-1 conference) took a 2-0 lead after one period, but Dartmouth (0-5, 0-3) dominated the second period, outshooting Clarkson 16-9.
Clarkson compounded its problems in that period by getting in penalty trouble, which resulted in two quick power-play goals from the Big Green that tied the game.
I thought we had about 45-50 minutes of good hockey, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. We got away from ourselves in the second period there. In the first and third period I thought we were very good. We are still learning as a team.
After Dartmouth tied the game Clarkson responded right away with a good shift by a line centered by Troy Josephs, which also features A.J. Fossen and Jeff DiNallo. They drew a cross-checking penalty on Dartmouths Brandon McNally and Clarkson took advantage with a power-play goal from Ben Sexton at 14 minutes, 29 seconds, to conclude the scoring.
We got a power play that was critical, Jones said. I thought the next shift (after Dartmouths secnod goal), they went to work down low, gave us great energy and seized the game again. We did a good job scoring a goal there. It was a good turn of events for us. A lot of people did some things tonight.
Dartmouth has still not led in any game this year, so Sextons goal was big in keeping the Big Green from perhaps gaining long-sought momentum.
We wanted to get the lead on them to see if that would also have an effect on us, Jones said. They played extremely well and had us on our heels.
Clarkson took a 1-0 lead at 9:53 of the first period off a goal from Will Frederick, with Sexton and Jarrett Burton assisting.
Matt Zarbos first goal of the season extended Clarksons lead to 2-0, with Simon Besette and Perry DArrisso recording assists.
Dartmouths comeback began with a five-on-three, power-play goal from Grant Opperman at 11:20 of the second period and Eric Neiley scored another power-play goal just 1:11 later.
After being outshot 16-9 in the second period, Clarkson responded and outshot the Big Green 14-3 in the third period to finish with a 32-28 edge in shots.
Jake Taylor scored two goals to help SUNY Brockport (1-2, 1-0) defeat the Bears 6-3 in the first SUNYAC mens hockey game played at the newly renovated Maxcy Hall Arena in Potsdam.
Shane Cavalieri added one goal and two assists for Brockport and Chase Nieuwendyk, Troy Polino and James Ryan also scored.
Matt Thompson scored twice to pace the Bears (0-3, 0-2). Zach Blake also scored for SUNY Potsdam.
