Matriculated students may not enroll in less-than-full-time programs unless there are special circumstances that have been approved by the Dean of Studies Office. In such cases, students will be charged according to the number of credits registered. Students from the Center for Continuing Education may register for less than a full-time load without prior approval of the Dean of Studies Office and are charged on a per-credit basis.
Maintenance of Matriculation Fee
Students on leave from the College, or on an off-campus year, who wish to maintain their matriculation status, are charged a fee. For students on a voluntary leave who are not studying in other programs, the fee is $300 for any part of the academic year they are on leave. Students studying in non-Sarah Lawrence programs will be charged a $2,000 matriculation fee each semester when attending programs in cities where Sarah Lawrence runs its own program or has an exchange program. Students attending programs in cities where Sarah Lawrence does not offer a study abroad or exchange program will be charged a $750 matriculation fee each semester. Visit the International and Exchange Programs site for information on Sarah Lawrence programs.
One-time TAP Waiver Request
Students who failed to make satisfactory academic progress or pursue the program of study, or both in the same term, may request a one-time waiver of satisfactory academic progress.
Waiver requests will be considered for students who can document an extenuating circumstance or an isolated incident that prevented the student from meeting the good academic requirements for that TAP payment. Not all students who fail to satisfy the good academic standing requirements are necessarily candidates for a waiver. For example, "difficulty adjusting to college life" is not a reasonable basis for a waiver, since that circumstance might apply to many students. Situations that caused a student to lose good academic standing should be beyond the student's control, not chronic circumstances that cannot be remedied. With the additional term that results from approval of the waiver, a student should be able to regain good standing.

Terms and Conditions
Your financial aid offer is considered conditional until Sarah Lawrence College has completed the Verification process. These awards are based on the 2015-2016 Profile application and actual tax return information we have received from you. The College reserves the right to revise these awards as necessary, for example should you receive any external funds not included in the award or changes in your financial circumstances during the year. To retain this offer, you must make satisfactory academic progress throughout the year. Your award assumes you will be attending Sarah Lawrence on a full-time basis.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I afford to attend Sarah Lawrence College?
Yes. Approximately 65 percent of students at Sarah Lawrence receive some form of financial aid. The amount of aid received is determined by a student's demonstrated need.
- How do I apply for financial aid?
Sarah Lawrence requires every student seeking financial aid to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service Profile (CSS Profile). When applying for the FAFSA, please refer to the FSA ID Info Sheet to set-up a secure username and password. In addition to these two forms, we require signed, completed copies of both your and your parent's federal income tax returns for the year previous to that during which you are applying for admission. If your parents are separated or divorced, we also require that your non-custodial parent file and return the CSS Profile Non-Custodial Parent Statement (NCPS), which will be available to you directly from CSS upon receipt and processing of your application. The form may be accessed at ncprofile.collegeboard.com. Please see Financial Aid Deadlines for the schedule of materials required.
All male students aged 18–26 (if required to do so) must register for Selective Service before any form of financial aid may be awarded. You can now register online for Selective Service.
- How is financial need determined?
In determining a student's demonstrated need, Sarah Lawrence subscribes to the practice and procedures of federal and institutional methodology as published by the U.S. Department of Education and the College Scholarship Service. The formulas consider necessary family expenditures, including taxes, living costs, outstanding medical expenses and costs for siblings' college tuition.
Students are expected to contribute 50 percent of their income and 25 percent of their assets toward the cost of their own education. The minimum expected contribution from a first-year student is $1,350 and, from all others. $1,500. Financial need is determined by subtracting your family contribution from the total cost of education. In addition to tuition, room and board, we consider books, supplies, travel and personal expenses as costs related to attending college.
- What are the elements of a financial aid package?
Grants, employment and student loans are the three elements of a Sarah Lawrence financial aid package. You are not required to accept the loan or work offer in order to receive Sarah Lawrence Gift Aid.
- What is Sarah Lawrence Gift Aid?
Sarah Lawrence Gift Aid is funded from various sources, including contributions from alumnae/i, parents, students, and friends of the College. Sarah Lawrence Gift Aid is directly applicable to any tuition, room and board expenses incurred while enrolled at Sarah Lawrence or one of its overseas programs. It does not need to be repaid. All or a portion of your awards may be underwritten by endowment funds given by generous friends of the College. If this is the case, you will be notified during the fall semester.
- Limits on Sarah Lawrence Gift Aid.
Sarah Lawrence gift aid is available for the first 120 credits attempted toward completion of the bachelor's degree for first-time, full-time undergraduate students. Full-time transfer students may be eligible for SLC gift aid up to but not exceeding the difference between the number of credits transferred into SLC and the 120 credits needed to earn a bachelor's degree. In all instances, additional aid is not awarded to cover the loss of academic credits.
- What federal grants are available?
Federal Pell and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) are awarded to students who meet the eligibility criteria as established by the Department of Education. All financial aid applicants who are U.S. citizens apply by completing the FAFSA. Students eligible for Pell funding may also be eligible for the Federal SEOG. This grant is awarded after the Office of Financial Aid obtains the official results of your FAFSA from the Department of Education. For more information, see the Federal Pell Grant site.
- What state grants are available?
New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) is available to all eligible New York residents attending Sarah Lawrence College. New York residents who complete the FAFSA will be sent a separate TAP application, which they must complete and file by the stated deadline. For more information, explore the New York State site.
Rhode Island, Vermont, Michigan, Washington DC and Oregon offer grant programs to their residents who attend New York colleges. Contact the state education department or your high school guidance counselor for further information.
- How does student employment work?
If you receive financial aid, you may work on campus. The first four weeks of the fall semester are reserved for the hiring of Work-Study students. After this period, campus jobs are available to all students. The Office of Student Employment will be available to assist you in the job search process. You will receive a paycheck every two weeks for work already performed.
In addition to on-campus jobs, the Office of Student Employment receives information regarding off-campus opportunities. All off-campus jobs are posted in the Classifieds section of MySLC. To find the listings once you are logged into MySLC, click Campus Life, then Classifieds. Next, click on Off-Campus Job Board. Students are responsible for contacting off-campus employers directly. The posted listings are purely for the convenience of the students. Sarah Lawrence College makes no recommendation or endorsement with respect to any of the off-campus jobs. Sarah Lawrence College is not responsible for any problems, complaints, or inconveniences that occur as a result of this service or the acceptance of any of the jobs listed.
- What types of loans are available to students with financial need?
A student loan is an obligation that must be repaid after you complete your degree or cease to be enrolled. Sarah Lawrence commonly awards two types of federally administered student loans: the Perkins Loan and the Federal Direct Student Loan.
Federal Perkins Loans are awarded to students who demonstrate the greatest need. This loan carries a 5 percent interest rate, which accrues nine months after graduation or as soon as the borrower drops below half-time status. Repayment also begins at that time and usually continues over a 10-year period.
Federal Student Loans are available through the federal government. If you demonstrate "need," you are eligible for the subsidized student loan, on which the federal government pays interest as it accrues until the start of your grace period or the point at which you drop below half-time status. If you do not demonstrate "need," you are eligible for an unsubsidized student loan, on which the interest must be paid while you are in school. As with the subsidized loan, repayment of principle begins six months after you graduate or drop below half-time status. Repayment of either loan can be made over a 10- to 15-year period. The federal government may charge an origination fee for the student loan. These fees are deducted from each semester's check. The fixed interest rate, set each year on July 1st, on the student loan for new borrowers is based on the 91-day Treasury bill plus a 3.1 percent allowance, not to exceed 8.25 percent.
- What about loans for parents?
The Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is a program whereby credit-worthy parents may borrow the total cost of their child's education minus any financial aid awarded to the student. The variable interest rate is capped at 10 percent based on the 52-week Treasury bill plus an allowance of 3.1 percent. You can file online.
- How will I receive notice of my financial aid award?
If you're an incoming applicant and you file the necessary forms by the stated deadlines, you will receive notification of your award in early April. Returning applicants will be notified in early May if the required financial forms and tax returns are received by the deadlines. Late applicants for financial aid will be notified upon completion of all required documents, and awards will be subject to fund availability at the time of completion. Since our financial aid resources are limited, funding may not be available to late applicants.
- How do I accept my award?
To accept your award and have the aid credited to your student account, you must submit all documents requested by the Office of Financial Aid no later than the stated deadlines. Renewal of financial aid is not automatic. Forms must be filed by the stated deadlines each year of attendance. Recipients must continue to demonstrate financial need and maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible for financial aid.
- How do I apply for student loans once my eligibility is determined?
If you are eligible for student loans, you will be notified in your financial aid award letter from the Office of Financial Aid. You must complete an entrance counseling interview and Master Promissory Note by visiting www.studentloans.gov. Once this Master Promissory Note is filed, the funds from your loan will be made available to your account through the Sarah Lawrence College Office of Student Accounts.
- What happens to my financial aid if I study off-campus?
If you are studying overseas on one of Sarah Lawrence's programs, all aid for which you are eligible will be applied to the cost of the program—including Sarah Lawrence Gift Aid. If you are studying at another college, or through another school's program, you and the Office of Financial Aid at the host institution will need to complete a Consortium Agreement with the Sarah Lawrence Office of Financial Aid. Through this agreement, the Stafford Loans, PLUS loans and Pell Grant monies will be applied to the cost of that program.
- Whether or not I qualify for aid, are there other payment or loan options available to help my family meet college costs?
Yes. Sarah Lawrence offers a 10-month payment plan administered through the Sarah Lawrence Office of the Bursar. Please call (914) 395-2550 for more information on this plan.
In addition, there are many private or alternative student loans available through various lenders which do not require that a student demonstrate need.
- What about other non-Sarah Lawrence based financial assistance?
In addition to the aid components available to Sarah Lawrence for inclusion in your package, we recommend several other financing options.
Scholarships are awarded by many foundations, civic and religious organizations and affinity groups to academically talented students. You should report any financial assistance awarded from a community organization, foundation or high school to the Office of Financial Aid as soon as possible. Adjustments to your financial aid award may be required according to the sources involved. In most cases, this office will reduce the loan portions of your financial aid award so that your total award does not exceed your need.
- Does Sarah Lawrence offer need-based scholarships that are distinctive?
Yes. Unless otherwise specified, donor scholarships are awarded to returning students who have financial need and have demonstrated academic achievement. No additional application is necessary to be considered for these scholarships.
- How can I become an independent student?
Dependency is determined when you are admitted to the College.
If you are dependent at the time of admission, you remain so throughout your undergraduate years (for Sarah Lawrence funds only). Sarah Lawrence accepts the dependency criteria determined by the Department of Education (for federal funds only).
- How is my aid affected when a sibling attends college at the same time?
As long as your sibling is enrolled at least half time in an undergraduate degree program, your family contribution is divided equally between the two of you. Siblings attending graduate or professional programs should not be reported as family members attending college.
- Does Sarah Lawrence College offer financial aid for summer courses?
No. Financial aid is only offered for the fall and spring semesters.
- What does "satisfactory academic progress" mean?
The federal government and Sarah Lawrence have policies governing who may continue to receive financial assistance. This determination is based on how many credits you attempt and earn, and what your grade point average is at the end of each academic year. You must continuously maintain a 2.0 or better grade point average at the end of your sophomore year.
You'll need to be aware that if you lose credit along the way, it may have an impact on our financial aid decision in your last semesters here.
The federal government policy is reflected in this chart:

Keeping your buffet line or catering station sanitary and easy-to-use is an important part of creating an atmosphere and increasing efficiency. When self-service plays a big role in your restaurant, it's important to equip it with some reliable restaurant tongs. While tongs are an essential piece of the commercial restaurant puzzle, they also work wonders when used at home or in the barbecue pit. Perfect for handling meats, picking up delicious entrees and sides, and reaching into hot or hard-to-reach places, the right restaurant tongs can be used to tackle all kinds of important cooking tasks when in capable hands.

WANAKENA One step forward, a half step back.
That is the story of efforts to resurrect to economic productivity the contaminated Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. property, one of a handful of industrial sites in the Adirondack Park.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation is moving forward with a plan for reuse of 18 acres of the site that are minimally contaminated, but obstacles remain on addressing liability issues that prevent St. Lawrence County from taking title.
Unfortunately, its not a straightforward issue, said James E. Candiloro, a DEC environmental engineer who presided Tuesday over a public hearing at the Ranger School on the agencys plan for the partial acreage.
DEC and the county had thought that splitting out the 18 acres and dealing with it separately from the bulk of the 54-acre site would mean the county could achieve a release of liability for any contamination on that section.
The remainder of the property is expected to become a Superfund site.
But a route to a release has not yet been found. Under state Navigation Law, owners may be held responsible for the cleanup cost on their property even if they were not responsible for the contamination, which has made the county wary.
Liability issues preclude anyone from taking title, Mr. Candiloro said. Theyd have to take the whole thing.
The information frustrated the roughly two dozen people who attended the hearing.
Weve spent at least two years on the liability issue, said Julie A. Lanphear, a member of the Clifton Town Council. It really is discouraging.
Mr. Candiloro said DEC favors a resolution that will allow partial redevelopment sooner, but has to convince the state offices of the attorney general and comptroller.
We have our attorneys pushing their attorneys, he said. I think were finally getting some momentum on it.
Representatives of groups that want to see J&L viable talk regularly, said Sherman L. Craig, an Adirondack Park Agency commissioner.
There are a number of things behind the scenes that I believe will be successful, he said. Nobodys going to build a Disneyland there, but there will be options.
No one at the hearing faulted DECs plan for the 18 acres, which includes restricting its future use to commercial, restricting groundwater use, maintaining a cover on the site such as pavement or a foot of clean soil or vegetation and having a management plan.
Unless anybody objects to our proposed remediation, we should have a record of decision by April, Mr. Candiloro said.

As cold weather arrives in parts of the U.S., so does the risk of fires resulting from faulty heating equipment or practices. That is why the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) has published a list of suggestions that can help Americans heat their homes safely this winter.
The association cites recent figures from the National Fire Protection Association which suggest most injuries from fires involving heating equipment occur when the user is asleep or when a child under 10 is left unsupervised with the equipment.
Hence, they recommend never leaving an operating heater unattended and always unplugging it when not in use.
It is also important to keep flammable or combustible materials, such as gas cans, matches, furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes and curtains at least three feet from the front of the heater and away from the sides and rear, and not to block heater's air intake or outlet.
Safety experts also advise to check the heater's cord periodically and never use equipment with a damaged cord. In addition, no other electrical device should be plugged into the same outlet as the heater as this could result in overheating and fire.
Finally, it is crucial to read manufacturer's instructions and warning labels before using any electrical equipment.

You can also use raisins, sultanas or Smarties to decorate, if you prefer.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Melt butter, sugar and syrup in a pan. Mix flour, soda, spices and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir in the butter mix and chopped ginger to make a stiff-ish dough.
- Wait until cool enough to handle, then roll out dough to about 5mm thick. Stamp out gingerbread men, re-rolling and pressing the trimmings back together and rolling again. Lift onto baking sheets. Bake for 12 mins until golden. Cool 10 mins on the sheets, then lift onto cooling racks.
- To decorate, mix icing sugar with a few drops of water until thick and smooth. Halve then slice cherries thinly to make smiles, and cut ginger into small squares. Spoon icing into a food bag, snip off the tiniest bit from one corner, then squeeze eyes and buttons, and a tiny smile onto 1 man at a time. Stick on a cherry smile and ginger buttons. Repeat; leave to set. Will keep up to 1 week in an airtight tin.

Comments, questions and tips
Great gingerbread recipe! Yes, it is crumbly, but once you have worked it a bit then it becomes less so and the finished result is excellent! I did add 2 tsps. of milk to help bind it together and this helped. This recipe is great for egg allergy suffers. The recipe says it makes 12 big gingerbread men, but my cutter must be very big as it only made 9 large ones and 1 small one!
The dough was so crumbly! Unfortunately i didn't read the comments below before starting the recipe (I'll make sure to for recipes in the future!) so half my batch were very crumbly. I added drops of milk until the dough was malleable enough, but this often caused it to stick to the work surface.
I baked the biscuits for 6 minutes in a fan oven.
My ginger bread stars are currently in the oven... Thank god!!!! Making these as gifts and when the dough started to fall apart as i was rolling it, severe panic started to set in!!! The addition of the beaten egg, as a few of you suggested (thank you all very much), and an extra tablespoon of flour pulled the dough together and made it very workable!!! Hoping the final result is worth all the hassle!! :) Also added some extra cinammon and ground clove to them, so they should be divine!!!
Unfortunately I didn't read the comments section before I started, and I also experienced the same difficulty rolling out the crumbly dough. I managed to make a few gingerbread men after attaching their arms/legs back on before abandoning the dough to a cake tin & throwing a handful of raisins on top! Both the biscuits and my concoction tasted lovely, probably best described as a ginger shortbread, but would take on board the suggestions below if I made it again. Incidentally, I referred to my old companion, the Bero cook book, for this recipe which stated to use a much lower amount of butter - 40g.
I've used this recipe a few times now and have experimented with the amount of butter, syrup, egg etc in hopes of making the dough less crumbly. There's another recipe on this site called Spicy Tree Biscuits, which uses more or less the same ingredients and a slightly different method. It makes lovely, malleable dough and tasty gingerbread biscuits.
I am so glad that I read the comments for this recipe before I started making it! I too found that the mix was somewhat crumbly and would have been near impossible to roll out. However, as suggested above, the addition of a beaten egg pulled it together into a workable dough. The next time I make these I might add a tiny bit more ground ginger. I'd recommend using the cayenne - gives a nice little kick at the end of a mouthful, without being overpowering.
I used this recipe to make gingerbread bats and ghosts. They taste amazing, this is generally a great recipe.
I also added a considerable amount of mixed spices and nutmeg to make it more interesting.
And yes, the dough was very greasy and crumbly. I found that rolling out small handfuls of dough was much easier to handle. (Adding water only makes it more sticky).
I wish I'd read some more of the comments before I started. The mixture was really crumbly and greasy, almost impossible to roll out. My 3 year old grandson was upset when the legs dropped off his gingerbread man as we were placing him on the tray!
On a positive note though, he did enjoy sampling the uncooked dough.
Next time, will try an egg to bind as suggested.
Wish I had read through the reviews more thoroughly before starting to make this. As other reviewers have said, nasty to work with; very crumbly and greasy, difficult to put onto the baking tray without falling apart.
Seem ok when cooked but will not be using this recipe again. Surprised its on the Good Food website.

Like the court system needs to sit listening to whiners! I hope they hand his ass to him and assign costs and fees from day one to him. We really don't need to be paying to have everyone with hurt feelings clogging up a system where three year delays in important matters are common.
And trying to get a common sense decision out of this court is unlikely. Constitution out; PC in.
People, at least read the full article. The Supreme Court is in this to determine the conflict of jurisdiction between state and federal law, and whether an airline can use Federal law to preempt state contract law. The issue of jurisdiction is far broader and more important than one passenger's whine against Northwest Airlines.
Apparantly he doesn't handle rejection well. Supreme Court must be needing business. Lol
This really is not a case about complaining by this passenger. It is about the ability of airlines to use the ADA as a shield against state laws that prohibit unfair business practices. The state laws are generally just codification of common law. It is the common law component that the lower Court has allowed to be tried. A trial on the merits of the case has not been heard because Delta has brought the matter to the Supremes.
Delta should be careful about pushing the ADA defense before the High Court. It could very well backfire and allow passengers more causes of action against airlines for normal industry practices like overbooking, capacity control of award travel, and administration of frequent traveler perks.
One of the reasons the airline kicked this man and his wife out of the program was his abuse of the rules concerning bumping. He would buy tickets on oversold flights he probably never intended to fly and then clamor for maximum compensation.
What about the disgruntled families land locked under the glide paths....take off plates that CAN'T sell their homes too ?
Thank you.
That depends. Who was there first, the airport or the people? Chances are pretty darn good that the airport was there first, then the people moved under the published flight paths.

In Ideas in Drawing, Painting and Materiality students explore technique and concept through a focus on the body as an enduring subject in art. Investigating key ideas in contemporary art through notions of identity, subjectivity, performativity, mediation and representation students are introduced to the fundamental elements and principles of art through lectures, workshops, studio intensive weeks, critical discussion and seminars. In generating a resolved series of artworks students will be expected to develop concepts, technical and problem solving skills in a workbook/journal that contextualises their ideas in experimentation and reflection. In understanding the workbook/journal as a crucial developmental tool students will work towards developing an art practice that demonstrates technical dexterity and an ability to creatively engage with and critique contemporary society. In doing this it is crucial to investigate the changing nature of the role of the artist in a globalised culture. In this unit and throughout the course, explicitly and implicitly, students will develop their practice with a key question in mind: what is the role of the artist in contemporary society?

The central idea of applied statistics is that you can say something about a whole population by looking at a smaller sample. Without this idea there wouldn't be opinion polls, the social sciences would be stuffed, and there would be no way of testing new medical drugs, or the safety of bridges, etc, etc. It's the central limit theorem that is to a large extent responsible for the fact that we can do all these things and get a grip on the uncertainties involved.
Suppose that you want to know the average weight of the population in the UK. You go out and measure the weight of, say, 100 people whom you've randomly chosen and work out the average for this group — call this the sample average. Now the sample average is supposed to give you a good idea of the nation's average. But what if you happened to pick only fat people for your sample, or only very skinny ones?
To get an idea of how representative your average is likely to be, you need to know something about how the average weight of 100-people-samples varies over the population: if you took lots and lots of samples of size 100 and worked out the average weight for each, then how variable would this set of numbers be? And what would its average (the average of averages) be compared to the true average weight in the population?
For example, suppose you know that if you took lots and lots of 100- people-samples and wrote down the average weight of each sample, you'd get all values from 10kg to 300kg in equal proportion. Then this would tell you that your method of estimating the overall average by taking one sample of a 100 people isn't a very good one, because there's too much variability — you're just as likely to get any of the possible values, and you don't know which one is closest to the true average weight in the population.
Four versions of the normal distribution with different means and variances.
So how can we say anything about the distribution of 100-people-averages — called the sampling distribution — when we don't know anything about the distribution of weight across the population? This is where the central limit theorem comes in: it says that for a big enough sample (usually sampling 30 people is good enough) your sampling distribution is approximated by a normal distribution — this is the distribution with the famous bell shape.
The mean of this normal distribution (the average of averages corresponding to the tip of the bell) is the same as the mean in the population (the average weight of the population). The variance of this normal distribution, that is how much it varies about the mean (indicated by the width of the bell), depends on the sample size: the larger the sample, the smaller the variance. There's an equation which gives the exact relationship.
So if your sample size is big enough (100 would certainly do since it's bigger than 30), then the relatively small variance of the normal sampling distribution means that the average weight you observe is close to the mean of that normal distribution (since the bell is quite narrow). And since the mean of that normal distribution is equal to the true average weight across the population, your observed average is a good approximation of the true average.
You can make all this precise, for example you can say exactly how confident you are that the true average is within a certain distance of your sample average, and you can also use the result to calculate how large a sample you need to get an estimate of a given accuracy. It's the central limit theorem that lends precision to the art of statistical inference, and it's also behind the fact that the normal distribution is so ubiquitous.
The central limit theorem is actually a bit more general than we've let on here. See here for a precise statement.

The dramatic curved surfaces of some of the iconic buildings created in the last decade, such as 30 St Mary's Axe (AKA the Gherkin) in London, are only logistically and economically possible thanks to mathematics. Curved panels of glass or other material are expensive to manufacture and to fit. Surprisingly, the curved surface of the Gherkin has been created almost entirely out of flat panels of glass — the only curved piece is the cap on the very top of the building. And simple geometry is all that is required to understand how.
A geodesic sphere.
One way of approximating a curved surface using flat panels is using the concept of geodesic domes and surfaces. A geodesic is just a line between two points that follows the shortest possible distance — on the Earth the geodesic lines are great circles, such as the lines of longitude or the routes aircraft use for long distances. A geodesic dome is created from a lattice of geodesics that intersect to cover the curved surface with triangles. The mathematician Buckminster Fuller perfected the mathematical ideas behind geodesic domes and hoped that their properties — greater strength and space for minimum weight — might be the future of housing.
To try to build a sphere out of flat panels, such as a geodesic sphere, you first need to imagine an icosahedron (a polyhedron made up of 20 faces that are equilateral triangles) sitting just inside your sphere, so that the points of the icosahedron just touch the sphere's surface. An icosahedron, with its relatively large flat sides, isn't going to fool anyone into thinking it's curved. You need to use smaller flat panels and a lot more of them.
Divide each edge of the icosahedron in half, and join the points, dividing each of the icosahedron's faces into four smaller triangles. Projecting the vertices of these triangles onto the sphere (pushing them out a little til they two just touch the sphere's surface) now gives you a polyhedron with 80 triangular faces (which are no longer equilateral triangles) that gives a much more convincing approximation of the curved surface of the sphere. You can carry on in this way, dividing the edges in half and creating more triangular faces, until the surface made up of flat triangles is as close to a curved surface as you would like.

How would you go about adding up all the integers from 1 to 100? Tap them into a calculator? Write a little computer code? Or look up the general formula for summing integers?
Carl Friedrich Gauss as depicted on the (now defunct) German 10 Marks note.
Legend has it that the task of summing those numbers was given to the young Carl Friedrich Gauss by his teacher at primary school, as a punishment for misbehaving. Gauss didn't have a calculator or computer, no one did at that time, but he came up with the correct answer within seconds. Here's how he did it.
Notice that you can sum the numbers in pairs, starting at either end. First you add 1 and 100 to get 101. Next it's 2 and 99, giving 101 again. The same for 3 and 98. Continuing like this, the last pair you get is 50 and 51 and they give 101 again. Altogether there are 50 pairs all adding to 101, so the answer is 50 x 101 = 5050. Easy — if you're Gauss.

Sequences of numbers can have limits. For example, the sequence 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ... has the limit 0 and the sequence 0, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, ... has the limit 1.
But not all number sequences behave so nicely. For example, the sequence 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 4/5, ... keeps jumping up and down, rather than getting closer and closer to one particular number. We can, however, discern some sort of limiting behaviour as we move along the sequence: the numbers never become larger than 1 or smaller than 0. And what's more, moving far enough along the sequence, you can find numbers that get as close as you like to both 1 and 0. So both 0 and 1 have some right to be considered limits of the sequence — and indeed they are: 1 is the limit superior and 0 is the limit inferior, so-called for obvious reasons.
But can you define these limits superior and inferior for a general sequence
for example the one shown in the picture? Here's how to do it for the limit superior. First look at the whole sequence and find its least upper bound: that's the smallest number that's bigger than all the numbers in the sequence. Then chop off the first number in the sequence, , and again find the least upper bound for the new sequence. This might be smaller than the previous least upper bound (if that was equal to ), but not bigger. Then chop off the first two numbers and again find the least upper bound.
Keep going, chopping off the first three, four, five, etc numbers, to get a sequence of least upper bounds (indicated by the red curve in the picture). In this sequence every number is either equal to or smaller than the number before. The limit superior is defined to be the limit of these least upper bounds. It always exists: since the sequence of least upper bounds is either constant or decreasing, it will either approach minus infinity or some other finite limit. The limit superior could also be equal to plus infinity, if there are numbers in the sequence that get arbitrarily large.
The limit inferior is defined in a similar way, only that you look at the sequence of greatest lower bounds and then take the limit of that.
You can read more about the limits inferior and superior in the Plus article The Abel Prize 2012.

Here's a dilemma. Suppose you and a friend have been arrested for a crime and you're being interviewed separately. The police offer each of you the same deal. You can either confess, incriminating your partner, or remain silent. If you confess and your partner doesn't, then you get 2 years in jail (as a reward for talking), while your partner gets 10 years. If you both confess, then you both get 8 years (reduced from 10 years because at least you talked). If you both remain silent, you both get 5 years, as the evidence is only sufficient to convict you of a lesser crime.
Solitary confinement
What should your strategy be? As a selfish and rational individual, you should talk. If your partner also talks, then your confession gets you 8 years instead of 10. If your partner doesn't talk, then it gets you 2 years instead of 5. Talking is your dominant strategy, it leaves you better off than silence, no matter what your partner does.
The trouble is that your partner, just as selfish and rational as you, will come to the same conclusion. You'll both decide to talk and get 8 years each. Paradoxically, your dominant strategy will leave both of you worse off than silence would have done.
The prisoner's dilemma is one of game theory's most famous games because it illustrates why people might refuse to cooperate when they would be better off doing so. One real-life situation that is similar to the dilemma is an arms race between two countries, in which both countries increase their military might when it would be better for both to disarm.
The dilemma has been used extensively in mathematical research into altruism. Mathematical research into altruism? Yes, that's right! Using the dilemma as the basis for computer simulations in which simulated individuals can either cooperate or defect has shown how altruism can evolve as a survival strategy, even in large societies.

Kneeling in the mud by a country road on a cold drizzly day recently, we finally appreciated the wonder that is a lever. We were trying to change a flat tyre and even jumping on the end of the wheel wrench wouldn't budge the wheel nuts. But when the AA arrived they undid them with ease, thanks to a wheel wrench that was three times the size of ours. There you have it ... size really does matter!
A lever is a truly remarkable device that can literally give any of us the strength of ten men. You can counteract 10 men pushing down on one side of a see-saw by applying just 1/10th of their force, as long as you are 10 times further from the see-saw's centre as they are. This is because the forces acting on a lever are proportional to the distances they are from the fulcrum. In this way a small amount of force moving a longer distance can move a large load over a smaller distance.
Levers are working hard all around us: in see-saws (where the fulcrum is between the loads), in wheel barrows (where the load is between the fulcrum and the force) and even in our very jaws (where the force is applied between the fulcrum and the load).
Archimedes was the first to mathematically describe how levers work and famously said: "Give me fulcrum and I shall move the Earth with a lever." And give us a long enough wheel wrench and we might just be able to change my next flat tyre for ourselves!

My first computer was a Pentium II. Actually, it was my second computer. My first one was some piece of shit Compac.
Anyways, my PII was one of the most expensive back in '98. I think my dad paid $1,200 or something for it. No Windows 95, it had the brand new Windows 98. Then, my dad bought DSL. Worked wonders. It was a great computer, and I had it until '03 when I got in trouble and my parents sold it. At that time, I had every Sims game on it, and it gave me no troubles. I also had Wireless internet, too.
Oh, the good old days.

POTSDAM The town and the state Department of Environmental Conservation are trying to determine the severity of oil contamination found at the former town hall at 35 Market St., but so far there are more questions than answers.
The oil-contaminated soil was found last month by workers installing an elevator shaft in the basement of the building. Early testing showed that the contamination was spread throughout the basement, but most strongly in the front corner near 33 Market St.
Every area where we dug in the basement showed some sign of contamination, Town Supervisor Marie C. Regan said.
DEC was called to assess the contamination and guide cleanup efforts. Depending on the extent of the contamination, cleaning it up could become more than just the towns problem: it could involve other Market Street properties.
The first step is finding the source of the oil leak. Town leaders said they believe the oil came from a leaking tank buried beneath the sidewalk in front of 33 Market St. The problem was discovered in 1972, and the town board requested the owners drain the tank and remove it. It is not certain whether it was ever removed, although town leaders said it probably was.
A news report from the Daily Courier-Observer from May 17, 1972, describes oil fumes so strong that offices on the bottom floor of the town hall had to be shut down temporarily.
DECs first priority is ensuring the tank has been removed, and cleaning up the source of the spill.
They will be using ground-penetrating radar to see if there is a tank, DEC spokesman Stephen W. Litwhiler said via email. Its critical to remove any possible source of contamination before they continue their project. We will then work with the town to address cleanup of the contamination.
Officially, the person or persons responsible for the spill are responsible for paying for cleanup. However, because of the age of the spill, the cost will probably fall to the town, especially if it hopes to finish renovations on the Town Court without going through lengthy legal proceedings.
If we want this to get done, and in a timely fashion, I suspect were going to be the one footing the bill, Mrs. Regan said.
The oil tank belonged to Leonard Thomaris, who died in 2008.
The site is under renovation, and will be converted into the new Town Court. It is slated for completion in January.
Plenty of big questions will remain unanswered until the source of the contamination is found and its severity determined. It is too early to estimate how much cleanup will cost, or how it will be done.
Thats very worrisome, of course, Mrs. Regan said.
How the testing will affect neighboring buildings on Market Street is also uncertain, but Mrs. Regan said she suspects the contamination is not limited to the former town hall.
I suspect that there is more than just our building, she said.
Market Street property owners may not have to worry just yet. Mrs. Regan said she doubts DEC will focus on neighboring properties once the source of the spill has been determined and cleaned. Daniel M. Tebo, a Tisdel Associates engineer who is overseeing the renovation of 35 Market St., agreed.
I cant say for certain, but I dont think the DEC will make people continue taking soil samples all the way down the street, he said. But it depends on what is found under the sidewalk.
If neighboring properties are inspected and found to be contaminated, cleanup steps will have to be taken, according to Mr. Litwhiler.
DEC will begin its search within the next two weeks.

By MELANIE STEELESports Reporter
Carbon volleyball players came out in the middle of the pack, taking eighth out of 16 teams last weekend at an annual Skyline tournament.
The Tournament of Champions is an invitational competition for the top 1A-5A teams in the state.
"I don't think we played as well as we could have," Coach Bruce Bean commented. "We are looking to be one of the top teams in the state, not just compete with them."
Carbon High won six games and lost three. Amongst their wins were Highland, Richfield, Alta, Rich, and North Sanpete.
All of their losses came from higher ranked schools.
Viewmont, a 5A team which is ranked nationally, beat the Lady Dinos. Carbon also lost to Lone Peak, 4A, and Clearfield, 5A.
Bean said the competition was a great test for the team and that it helps to point out their weaknesses.
"We have some thing to work on," Bean said. "But, we did pretty good."
For the past two seasons, Carbon has qualified for the state tournament and placed second. The ladies were defeated by Morgan both years.
On their road to another state berth, the Dinos will play in a Las Vegas tournament this weekend. The Vegas tourney includes 48 teams, mostly from the west.
The team has finished in the top eight for the last two years at the Vegas tourney. Their goal this year is to make it to the top four.
Lady Dinos will play their first home game against Judge Memorial Sept. 2 during Homecoming week.
The junior varsity begins at 5:15, followed by the varsity around 6:30 p.m.

The Beyond (E tu vivrai nel terrore - L'aldila)
Drama, Horror
In 1927, a band of angry townsfolk travel deep into the Louisiana Bayou to destroy an Satanic painter named Schweik. In an isolated Gothic hotel basement, they chain-whip, crucify, and shower the warlock in a flesh-emulsifying liquid. But they are too late. Schweik had already opened one of the seven dread gateways to Hell beneath the eerie hotel. Many years later, Liza (Catriona MacColl) comes to Louisiana to claim her inheritance: Schweik's Seven Doors Hotel. With the help of the hotel's longtime housekeeper and her caretaker son, Liza begins renovations on the property. But their work is plagued by bizarre and supernatural events: a normally sure footed painter falls off a scaffolding, a plumber has his eyes inadvertently poked out, an architect researching the hotel's origins is attacked by a band of blood-sucking tarantulas and, ultimately, the housekeeper is impaled on an unfortunately placed spike.
