Academic Standing and Regulations
In keeping with a liberal arts philosophy, Princeton students are expected to be fully engaged members of an intellectual community, immersing themselves in the simultaneous study of a variety of disciplines before concentrating in one academic department. A Princeton undergraduate degree is grounded in a common experience of full-time residential study. The curriculum is designed in such a way that all students carry a similar course load and make adequate progress toward the degree (as described below). The first two years of study prepare students for the required independent work in the department of concentration, which is the hallmark of a Princeton education. Students are expected to be active participants in their education; the development of critical study and life skills, such as working independently, managing competing obligations, and completing work in a timely fashion, is an essential educational goal. Students are expected to observe all University deadlines (as described below) and may not carry incompleted courses into a subsequent semester. Undergraduates pursuing an A.B. degree must complete all required junior independent work and a minimum of 24 courses before beginning senior year and embarking on the senior thesis; all B.S.E. students must complete a minimum of 26 courses, to include any independent work, before beginning senior year.
The following provisions provide the basic framework for undergraduate academic life at Princeton. Students are responsible for knowing these regulations and for observing them in the planning and completion of their programs of study.
The Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing administers these academic regulations on behalf of the faculty. Requests made under the following provisions, as well as petitions for exceptions to them, should first be discussed with a student's residential college dean or director of studies. The final request or petition should be delivered in writing to Dean Claire Fowler, secretary to the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing, 406 West College, for presentation to the committee. Students do not appear in person before the committee.
All undergraduates who plan to matriculate for either the fall term or the full academic year are required to register online (www.princeton.edu/score) at the beginning of the fall term at a time determined by the registrar. Students who plan to resume their studies in the spring term after a leave or withdrawal must register at the beginning of the spring term. A student who, without an approved excuse, fails to register at the designated time incurs a fine of $75.
Selecting Courses
Each term, at a time specified by the registrar, all enrolled students submit their course choices online for the following term. To assist in this selection, Course Offerings indicates the courses available and the meeting times. The registrar maintains a website with instructions and forms for completing course selection. Students are expected to discuss their course selection with their academic advisers prior to submitting final course choices. A student may not select a course that conflicts with the meeting times of any other course in which he or she is enrolled.
There is a fine of $10 for each day of lateness in submitting an approved set of courses. Students wishing to appeal this fine must discuss the reasons for lateness with the deputy registrar, who acts for the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing in this matter.
Normal Course Load
A.B. Program. The normal course load for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors is four courses each semester, with the exception of one semester in freshman or sophomore year when a student typically will need to take five courses in order to meet the expectation that 17 courses will have been completed by the start of junior year.
Regardless of the number of courses completed prior to entering senior year, all seniors must, with the exception of the two programs listed below, complete a minimum of six courses in senior year. This is most often accomplished by enrolling in three courses each term but students may take four courses in one term and two courses in the other. Students in the Program in Teacher Preparation who have taken an extra course in an earlier year or a student who is participating in the University Scholar Program may be permitted to reduce their course load by one course in the senior year.
B.S.E. Program. Students in the B.S.E. program normally enroll in four courses in the fall of freshman year and in four or five courses in each succeeding term, in a sequence appropriate to their individual programs of study.
Minimum Course Load
Under exceptional circumstances and in consultation with an academic adviser and either a residential college dean or director of studies, a student may be allowed to fall one course short of the normal course load for a term, subject to the following guidelines:
A.B. Program. All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors must complete a minimum of three courses each term.
Seniors may enroll in two courses in one term, as long as they complete four courses in the other term and have no course deficiencies entering senior year.
B.S.E. Program. A freshman may, with special permission, complete a minimum of seven courses in the academic year and a summer school course to meet the minimum of eight successfully completed courses needed to start sophomore year. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors must complete at least four courses each term.
Minimum Progress Required for Advancement
Any student who, by the start of the fall term, has not completed the minimum number of courses required for advancement must withdraw from the University and either successfully complete a sufficient number of pre-approved courses at another four-year college or university or, when mandated by the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing, repeat a semester at Princeton.
A.B. Program. In order to advance to sophomore year, all A.B. students must have successfully completed a minimum of seven courses. Sixteen courses are required to achieve junior standing, while 24 courses are required to begin senior year.
B.S.E. Program. A freshman may, with special permission, enroll in a minimum of seven courses during the academic year. However, in such a case, he or she must, through a combination of Princeton courses and pre-approved summer school courses, successfully complete a minimum of eight courses to begin sophomore year. Seventeen courses are required to begin junior year, and 26 are required to begin senior year. A student who has not completed the stated minimum number of courses required for advancement will not be permitted to remain in the B.S.E. program and may be required to leave school.
Selecting a Department
At times designated by the registrar, all students select a departmental concentration. Unless granted special permission by the departmental representative, a student may enter a department only if the courses designated as prerequisites for the concentration have been successfully completed. Prerequisites normally must be taken as graded courses.
All A.B. students must select a departmental concentration prior to enrolling for the fall term of junior year. This choice is made in consultation with the departmental representative and most often occurs when signing up for fall term courses in the spring of sophomore year.
All B.S.E. students must select a departmental concentration prior to enrolling for the fall term of sophomore year. The selection process takes place late in the spring of freshman year, following conversations with the designated departmental adviser.
Students are required to meet all of the stated requirements of the concentration existing at the time they enter the department. Those students requesting exceptions to any departmental requirement must obtain the written permission of the departmental representative.
A student may transfer from one department to another only with the approval of the new department and the student's residential college dean or director of studies, acting for the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing. While some exceptions do exist, such transfers must normally be made by the start of the second term of junior year. A junior transferring to a new department must complete all required junior independent work by the start of senior year and must be capable of completing all departmental and University requirements within the normal eight-semester program. The grades for any independent work completed prior to transferring to a new department will remain on the student's transcript.
While students are encouraged to explore diverse academic interests through a wide range of course choices and interdisciplinary certificate programs, the undergraduate degree is offered in just one academic department. Put another way, Princeton does not offer a double major.
The Rule of 12
A student in the A.B. program is limited to 12 one-term courses (plus independent work) in a given department, plus up to two departmental prerequisites taken during freshman or sophomore year. Students concentrating in departments without specific prerequisites may add up to two departmental courses taken during freshman or sophomore year to their total of 12 departmental courses. Foreign language courses at the 100-level do not count toward the departmental course limit of 12. Any student who exceeds the 31 courses required for graduation will be permitted to take extra departmentals. Exceptions to departmental course limits will be made on a case-by-case basis for students studying abroad, with the approval of Dean Nancy Kanach. Please note that for accounting purposes, cross-listed courses should be identified with the home department, which is the first department listed in the course identification number.
Course and Independent Work Requirements for Graduation
Except for those students who have been awarded a term or a year of advanced standing or who have been admitted to the University Scholar Program, all students must successfully complete the following course requirements:
A.B. Program. All A.B. students must successfully complete a minimum of 31 courses. Courses must be chosen in such a way as to meet the University general education requirements for A.B. students and the departmental requirements for the chosen field of concentration. In addition to 31 courses, all A.B. students must successfully complete departmental junior independent work, a senior thesis, and the departmental examination.
B.S.E. Program. All B.S.E. students must successfully complete a minimum of 36 courses. Courses must be chosen in such a way as to meet the Universitygeneral education requirements for B.S.E. students and the departmental requirements for the chosen field of concentration. The independent work requirements for the B.S.E. program are set forth in the descriptions of the departmental programs of study. Independent work in the School of Engineering and Applied Science is awarded a course designation and counts toward the overall requirement of 36 courses.
Dropping and Adding Courses
Except under very unusual circumstances, the last date on which a student may add a course is the last day of the second week of classes.
A student who wishes to drop a course must request permission from his or her residential college dean or director of studies no later than the end of the ninth week of classes. No course, including courses taken in excess of the normal course load, may be dropped after that point. After the end of the ninth week of classes, students are held responsible for completing all courses in which they are enrolled and are assigned final grades in those courses. An upperclass student wishing to drop a departmental course after the second week of the term also must obtain permission from his or her departmental representative.
Failed Courses
A failed course does not count toward the number of courses needed for graduation or advancement with one's class, nor can it be used to satisfy any of the University requirements.
A failed course may result in a course deficiency if the student does not have an extra course to offset the failure. A course deficiency must be made up by taking an extra Princeton course in a subsequent semester or by successfully completing a pre-approved course at another school.
While the grade of F in a course normally does not mean that the particular course must be repeated, there are several instances in which a failed course must be retaken and successfully completed. This is the case for a foreign language course taken to complete the language requirement; for the courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer programming that are part of the B.S.E. degree requirements; for specific courses needed as prerequisites to enter a department or program; and for any course the successful completion of which is required of the concentrators in a given department. If a student chooses or is required to repeat a failed course, the failing grade remains on the transcript.
Failing grades may result in required withdrawal, failure to qualify for graduation, academic probation, or academic warning.
Course Deficiencies
A student who is making normal academic progress and who has not taken any extra courses incurs a course deficiency by failing a course, by dropping below the normal course load, by repeating a course in which he or she previously had earned a passing grade, or by failing to take the second course in an introductory-level foreign language sequence.
Course deficiencies may result in required withdrawal, failure to qualify for graduation, or inability to progress to the next year of study.
A student may remove a course deficiency either by taking an extra Princeton course in a subsequent semester or by successful completion of a pre-approved course at another school.
Advanced placement or college-level work completed prior to entering Princeton cannot be used to make up a course deficiency.
The same standards for judging academic performance apply to all students in a course, whether it is taken by an upperclass or underclass student, as a departmental or an elective course, or as an undergraduate or graduate course. A student may not, for example, submit extra work or revised work unless this opportunity is explicitly extended to all students in the course.
A student who wishes to appeal a course grade should begin by discussing the grade with the course professor. If necessary, the appeal may then be pursued with the chair or departmental representative of the department in which the course is offered. Finally, if the student believes that the grade was reached unfairly or in a manner not consistent with the stated grading policies of the course, an appeal should be brought to Dean Claire Fowler, acting for the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing. It is important to note that the committee judges only the fairness or consistency of the grading process; it does not make an independent assessment of the quality of the course work.
Grading Symbols
Final grades for undergraduate courses and independent work are reported at the end of each term in the following way:
|Exceptional; significantly exceeds the highest expectations for undergraduate work
|Outstanding; meets the highest standards for the assignment or course
|Excellent; meets very high standards for the assignment or course
|Very good; meets high standards for the assignment or course
|Good; meets most of the standards for the assignment or course
|More than adequate; shows some reasonable command of the material
|Acceptable; meets basic standards for the assignment or course
|Acceptable; meets some of the basic standards for the assignment or course
|Acceptable, while falling short of meeting basic standards in several ways
|Minimally acceptable; lowest passing grade
|Failing; very poor performance
|Grades of A+ through C– in courses taken on pass/D/fail basis
|Satisfactory completion of required work in a course taken on an audit basis
|Course not completed at end of term (late completion authorized)
|Student withdrew from the University during reading period
A grade of D is the minimum acceptable passing grade in all courses. There are five exceptions to this general rule: (1) most departments require at least a C average in departmental courses, and therefore a D in a departmental course or courses may lead to failure in the area of concentration; (2) the accumulation of two or more Ds in a term is regarded by the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing as evidence of serious academic weakness, for which letters of academic warning or academic probation may be issued; (3) a student may be required to withdraw if he or she receives two Ds while on academic probation; (4) a student who is required to repeat a term for academic reasons will not receive credit for a course in the repeated term in which he or she received a D; (5) a student taking a preapproved course outside Princeton must earn at least a C to receive credit for the course.
Pass/D/Fail Option
The intent of the pass/D/fail option is to encourage exploration and experimentation in curricular areas in which the student may have had little or no previous experience. The pass/D/fail option also may be used by the student in completing distribution courses. Students are permitted to elect the pass/D/fail option between the beginning of the seventh and the end of the ninth week of classes.
1. As part of his or her regular academic program, each undergraduate may elect pass/D/fail grading in as many as four courses. Courses designated pass/D/fail only ("pdfo") do not count against this total, nor do any courses taken above the number required for graduation (31 for A.B. candidates; 36 for B.S.E. candidates).
2. A student may elect only one pass/D/fail course per term, regardless of the number of courses in which the student is enrolled or how many pass/D/fail options he or she has remaining; courses designated pass/D/fail only ("pdfo") do not count against this limitation.
3. Any course, including courses to fulfill distribution requirements, may be taken pass/D/fail, with the following exceptions:
a) A student's own departmental courses, as well as technical course requirements in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, may ordinarily not be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.
b) Courses designated "No pass/D/fail" by the instructor may not be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.
c) Courses taken outside Princeton may not be taken on a pass/D/fail basis.
4. A student must declare a pass/D/fail election between the beginning of the seventh and the end of the ninth week of classes. No further changes in grading options will be permitted after 5 p.m. on the Friday of the ninth week of classes.
Recording Grades for Independent Work in More than One Department
Students may have only one concentration at Princeton. The degree and departmental honors are granted in one department only. Under special circumstances, however, a student may receive permission to complete independent work in more than one department. A student hoping to pursue this option must have completed the prerequisites for entry into the second department, and must have both the permission of the departmental representative in the second department and the permission of the Office of the Dean of the College. Such a student may then write junior papers and a senior thesis in the second department and have that work recorded on the transcript. Such additional independent work will not count toward a student's graduation requirements. Independent work written to fulfill the requirements of a certificate program is not recorded on the transcript.
Completion of Academic Work
Undergraduate courses are offered on a term basis. Required written work is subject to deadlines set by course instructors, departments, and the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing. Final examinations are scheduled by the registrar at the conclusion of each term. Failure to submit work or complete examinations by published deadlines will normally result in a failing grade for the missing work. Course professors may, at their discretion, require that a student earn a passing grade in each component of a course to earn an overall passing grade in the course. Certain exceptions to these practices are allowed under special provisions described below.
Students are expected to attend all scheduled course meetings and exercises and to be present promptly at the start of instruction, unless prevented from doing so by illness or another compelling cause. An unexcused absence from class may adversely affect a student's grade and may lead to failure in a course, a student is expected to notify the course instructor of any absence and to arrange to make up any missed work.
Participation in a regularly scheduled varsity athletic contest constitutes an excused absence. This does not, however, include practices, team meetings, or other team functions. Students are required to notify course professors of these absences in advance of the scheduled dates and to make arrangements to make up any missed work.
Students who will miss a class or any course requirement because of religious observance will be excused that absence. However, students must notify their course professors of these conflicts and make arrangements to complete any missed work.
Tests and Other Work Scheduled during the Term
Students are expected to take all tests and quizzes at the scheduled times during the term. A student who is absent from a test because of illness or an equally compelling reason must inform the course instructor of the reason for the absence at the first opportunity. The instructor then decides whether the test is to be waived or a make-up test is to be given. An unauthorized absence from a test or quiz will normally result in a failing grade for that portion of the course. Course professors typically assign other written work to be completed prior to the end of classes. Students are required to submit this work by the date assigned by the professor. While professors may extend these deadlines to the last day of reading period (dean's date), extensions are not permitted beyond that date. Failure to submit required work will result in the assignment of a failing grade for that component of the course.
End-of-Term Papers and Projects
All written course work, including term papers, homework assignments, lab reports, and projects, is due on the date set by the instructor, but in no case later than the date set by the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing for the submission of written work, normally the last day of reading period. In the absence of an authorized extension (see below), a failing grade will be assigned to any work not completed by this deadline.
A student who is unable to complete written work by the University deadline because of illness or another equally compelling reason beyond his or her control may apply for permission to submit the work late. This application must be made to the appropriate residential college dean or director of studies. The application must be made on or before the due date, and the endorsement of the course professor is required. Course professors may not independently grant extensions beyond the University deadline.
If the request for an extension of the deadline is approved, the student and the course professor will be notified of the new due date. Normally, only short-term extensions are granted, and the new deadline will not extend past the last date of the examination period. In exceptional cases, a longer-term extension may be granted at the discretion of the residential college dean.
A student whose request for an extension is approved may receive the symbol of Incomplete (INC), which is converted to the appropriate grade on submission of the written work on or before the new deadline. Failure to submit work by the extended deadline will result in a failing grade for that component of the course.
A student whose request is denied must submit the written work by the University deadline or receive a failing grade for that component of the course.
Final Exams
Each term, the registrar schedules final examinations during an 11-day final examination period. Examinations must be taken at the assigned times, so students should be prepared to be available throughout the examination period and should not schedule personal travel until the examination schedule has been published.
The registrar, acting for the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing, may authorize a student to take an examination up to 24 hours before or after the scheduled examination time. Appropriate reasons for granting such requests are religious days, personal emergencies, and more than one examination scheduled in a single calendar day. Examinations will normally be rescheduled during the 24 hours after the scheduled examination time; examinations will be rescheduled during the 24-hour period before the regularly scheduled time only in the most unusual and compelling circumstances.
A student who, because of illness or another compelling reason outside his or her control, wishes to postpone a final examination more than 24 hours beyond the scheduled time may apply for authorization of a postponed examination. The request must be made prior to the scheduled examination time and must include the endorsement of the course professor. Students apply through their residential college deans or directors of studies. Rescheduled fall-term examinations are administered only during the third week of spring term classes; rescheduled spring-term examinations are given in the week preceding the beginning of the next fall term.
A student who has received authorization for a postponed final examination will receive the symbol of Incomplete (INC) until the examination has been completed and a final grade reported.
A student who fails to take a scheduled examination or a rescheduled examination will receive a failing grade for that portion of the course.
An examination may be given more than 24 hours earlier than the scheduled time only when specifically authorized by the student's residential college dean or director of studies, acting for the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing.
A student who becomes ill or otherwise incapacitated at the time of a scheduled examination should report immediately to University Health Services and then notify the deputy registrar, as well as his or her residential college dean or director of studies, as soon as possible. If a student elects to take the examination at the scheduled time, his or her grade will not subsequently be altered on the grounds of poor health or other problems.
A student who arrives late at an examination but within 30 minutes of the scheduled start time will be given the examination and permitted to complete as much work as possible during the remaining time.
A student who arrives at an examination more than 30 minutes late must report to the registrar immediately. A student who misses an examination entirely, for any reason, must report that fact to the registrar as soon as possible. In these cases, upon review of the circumstances, the student may be allowed to make up the examination in the next available examination period. Such a make-up examination is permitted only once in a student's undergraduate years. Failure to report a missed examination within 24 hours of the scheduled examination time will result in a failing grade for the exam.
Independent Work
The Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing establishes deadlines each term for the submission of junior independent work and in the spring for submission of the senior thesis. While individual departments may set earlier deadlines for this work, departmental deadlines may not be later than those set by the committee. A student who will not be able to meet a departmental deadline may request an extension within the department to submit work no later than the University deadline.
Students who are unable to complete independent work by the University deadline because of illness or another compelling reason essentially outside their control may apply for permission to submit their work late. Students should apply to their residential college dean or director of studies on or before the due date and must include the endorsement of the adviser. An unauthorized failure to submit independent work by the University deadline or by an extended due date established by a residential college dean or director of studies will result in the assignment of a failing grade. In such cases, a second grade is added to the transcript when the late work is submitted. Both grades remain on the transcript.
No student will be permitted to enroll as a senior unless junior independent work has been successfully completed.
A senior who fails to submit an acceptable senior thesis will not be permitted to graduate until that requirement has been met.
Academic Standing and Regulations
Academic Standing
The Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing reviews the academic records of all students at the end of each term. A student is considered to be making satisfactory progress if the program of study for the degree of bachelor of arts or the program of study for the degree of bachelor of science in engineering has been followed and if the student is eligible to continue in the University. A student making satisfactory progress will advance with his or her class, subject to the following qualifications:
1. A student who has not successfully completed the writing requirement by the end of the fall term of sophomore year will be placed on a special form of academic probation called writing probation (see below). If such a student fails to complete the writing seminar in the spring of sophomore year, he or she will be required to withdraw from the University and must apply to repeat the spring term of sophomore year. Failure to complete the requirement in the repeated term will result in a second, and final, required withdrawal.
2. A candidate for the A.B. degree who has not completed the foreign language requirement by the end of junior year may be required to withdraw from the University. If permitted to remain in school, the student must present a plan for completion of the requirement in senior year.
3. A student who is absent from the University or unable to attend classes for a substantial period of time, as determined by the Office of the Dean of the College, must withdraw from the University and apply for readmission to repeat the term.
4. A student must have successfully completed all of his or her degree requirements by the end of the spring term of senior year to be eligible to graduate.
Academic Probation and Academic Warning
The Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing reviews the records of all students at the end of each term and, when appropriate, places students on academic probation or issues letters of academic warning.
1. Those students whose records, while not making them eligible for required withdrawal, indicate either poor overall standing or particular weaknesses, for example, in departmental work, are placed on academic probation. Eligibility for intercollegiate athletic participation may be withheld for a student on academic probation.
2. A student will be placed on writing probation at the end of the third term of enrollment for failure to complete the writing requirement regardless of overall performance, and may be placed on writing probation in addition to academic probation for poor overall standing. A student on writing probation who fails to complete the writing requirement by the end of sophomore year will be required to withdraw from the University.
3. The committee reviews the records of all students on academic probation at the end of the following term and reports its judgment to those students. A student whose record does not improve substantially while on academic probation may be required to withdraw. A single failing grade or a record with two or more Ds while on academic probation will normally result in a required withdrawal.
4. Letters of academic warning are issued to students whose records for the preceding term, while not warranting academic probation, indicate weak academic performance. Academic warning letters are intended to alert students to the need for improvement and to suggest ways in which performance might be improved.
5. Additionally, letters may be sent during the term to students who are reported to be absent without excuse from portions of a course, or who are performing below expectations in any aspect of a course.
Required Withdrawal
1. A student ordinarily will be required by the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing to withdraw from the University at the end of a term or year on the basis of the following provisions:
a) A freshman who receives the grade of F in three or more courses or incurs three deficiencies in one term or incurs a total of four deficiencies during the year.
b) A student who receives a grade of F in two or more courses in any term of sophomore, junior, or senior year; or the grade of F in three consecutive terms in sophomore, junior, and senior years; or the grade of F in a total of four or more courses in sophomore, junior, and senior years.
c) A student who has been placed on academic probation (see above) and whose record fails to improve substantially during the term.
d) A student on writing probation during the spring of sophomore year who, regardless of performance in other courses, fails to complete the writing requirement.
e) A student who, prior to the start of any given academic year, has not successfully completed the minimum number of courses needed for advancement.
2. A student may be required to withdraw at the end of a term if he or she receives a grade of F in one or more courses and the grade of F in independent work for the term. A student whose overall departmental performance has been only marginal ordinarily will be required to withdraw if withdrawal is recommended by the department.
3. A student who has been required to withdraw may, at the discretion of the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing, be required to apply for readmission to repeat the unsuccessful term at Princeton, or, in exceptional circumstances, be allowed to remove deficiencies incurred by failed courses and return without having to repeat the unsuccessful term. In either case, all grades received during the failed term will be recorded on the Princeton transcript.
4. Readmission to Princeton is never guaranteed to a student who has been required to withdraw, but the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing may grant a second opportunity after a student has demonstrated readiness to resume academic work. In general, the committee will insist on a strong record of performance in a demanding work experience or successful completion of courses at another school. Specific requirements may be established by the committee.
5. A student who has left the University twice for academic reasons should not expect a third opportunity to qualify for a degree.
Failure to Qualify for Graduation
A senior will be considered to have failed to qualify for the bachelor's degree unless he or she has completed all of the stated requirements for graduation in his or her degree program. Such a failure may result from the failure to complete the number of courses required for graduation, failure to satisfy all departmental and general education requirements, failure to meet the minimum departmental grade point average, failure to submit an acceptable senior thesis, any grade of Incomplete on the transcript, and, depending on departmental policy, failure to complete successfully the departmental examination.
A senior who fails to qualify for graduation may attend the Commencement ceremony with the graduating class. However, only the names of those students who have successfully completed all of the degree requirements will appear in the Commencement program. Diplomas will be issued only to those students who have completed all graduation requirements.
The Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing will notify any student who has failed to qualify for the degree what must be done to satisfy any remaining degree requirements.
Rights of Rehearing and Appeals
A student concerning whom the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing has taken any action has the right to request a second consideration of the case by that committee in the light of any new evidence that can be submitted.
An action of the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing may be appealed on procedural grounds to the faculty. Review and final determination of an appeal is assigned to the Faculty Advisory Committee on Policy. A student who decides to appeal a decision with respect to academic standing must promptly notify the dean of the faculty in writing. A student may continue to attend classes and use other University facilities while a rehearing or appeal is being considered. However, during the appeal period the student is not considered to be a student in good standing.
Leave of Absence
Upon the satisfactory completion of any term, undergraduates are eligible to take leaves of absence at the discretion of the dean of the college for one, two, or three years, but not less than one year. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation at the end of a term are eligible to apply for a leave of absence, but they will be on academic or disciplinary probation for the first term after their return. An individual on leave of absence from Princeton is assured readmission to continue his or her program of study from the point at which it was interrupted. The dean of the college must receive notification at a specified date well in advance of the beginning of the term in which the individual intends to resume studies.
Voluntary Withdrawal
An undergraduate who leaves the University during the period from midterm week to the end of reading period is considered to have withdrawn voluntarily. Readmission is normally not guaranteed to a student who withdraws voluntarily. However, the Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing generally gives favorable consideration to a request for readmission supported by a record of productive activity while away from Princeton that indicates readiness to resume full-time study without further difficulty or interruption. The dean of the college or the dean of undergraduate students also may establish specific additional requirements for readmission if the circumstances of the withdrawal warrant this action. All requests for voluntary withdrawal and applications for readmission must be presented to the Office of the Dean of the College for approval. A student who has had a total of three withdrawals from the University, whether voluntary or required for academic reasons, should not expect a further opportunity to qualify for a degree.
Readmission after Time Away
Students planning to apply for readmission should contact their residential college dean if they have not received materials by March 15 for the fall term and November 15 for the spring term.
Students with Disabilities and Requests for Reasonable Accommodation
The Office of Disability Services (ODS) facilitates the provision of academic accommodations to ensure equal access to academic and co-curricular experiences for qualified students with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 as amended, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504), and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities and entitle individuals with disabilities to reasonable accommodations. The term "disability" may include learning, physical, sensory, psychological, medical, and certain temporary disabilities. To establish that an individual meets the legal requirements, documentation must be submitted that confirms the existence of a specific disability and functional limitations caused by the disability, in relation to most people. A diagnosis of a disorder or submission of documentation does not automatically qualify an individual for accommodations. Documentation must be provided by a qualified professional, meet currency requirements, include information about diagnosis and functional limitations, and support the requested accommodation(s). The documentation must meet the requirements outlined by ODS, which are available by contacting the office or visiting the website. In some cases, the evaluation process may include a review of the documentation by an outside consultant engaged by Princeton University.

Hello! I've featured this wonderful piece in my journal art feature . I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I love your style!
oh my goodness! an instant fave!
this just caught my eye so fast. it looks so amazing. i love the colour palette and the composition and look at those things
just wonderful you're awesome
so much detail! This is breathtaking
Browsing through your gallery made me literally
grin in excitement.
You have such a distorted realism to your works,
and an age, a maturity to them that makes them
that much more alluring.
This piece specifically drew me from the darkness
like a stupid-ass moth,
and I stared and stared awestruck.
What gives me such feeling specifically isn't
really the colors, but HOW your work is colored,
inked, or however you talented people do that
filling stuff.
Just awesome.
Thanks a bunch.
Are you kidding me? This is GORGEOUS. Dying.
Utterly amazing.
Oh wow! This is wonderful!
I really like the colors
ah klindy teach me to have imagination lmao <3
Freaky awesome, I love the designs.
oh my gooood, this is crazy good. Very nice color palette and compositing. Rich in texture and emotion and depth. My most favourite illustration you've made to date <3
perfect and beautiful! i love all the patterns and wowow
Absolutely gorgeous. *__*
This is mind-blowing *____________* I love every detail!!
This is mind-blowing *____________* I love every detail!!

AbstractNASA has a cross-project need for large format aspheric x-ray optics, which, demonstrate exceptionally low periodic surface errors. Available technologies to both measure and fabricate such surfaces are limited and have not been demonstrated to the precision required. The special requirements contemplated by future x-ray observatory missions include far off-axis hyperbolic and parabolic mirror segments used in nested Wolter Type-1 x-ray telescopes. Such mirrors are to be produced by replication on convex mandrels to meet aggressive manufacturing cost goals, however doing so will require breakthroughs in process, manufacturing and testing technologies.In 2008-9, Aperture Optical Sciences Inc. designed and built a unique custom cylindrical grinding and polishing machine and delivered this machine to a customer for the automated production of cylinder optics. The machine embodied a fundamental technology that could be applied toward the low-costproduction of x-ray optics mandrels including a fully scalable Â? large tool computer controlled platform and an algorithmic approach to figure correction using programmable motion and pressure control. Our proposed work would model the adaptation of this machine design and would model the technology and parametric machine controls required to produce full-aperture mirrors having low amplitude periods across the full power spectrum of interest.

Double check the changes you have made to mailer.php from the original (you may have to re-download).
If you still have no luck then email me your mailer.php file (perferrably as an attachment) to seriocomic-at-gmail-dot-com and I will try and locate the problem - no promises though.

of carbon emissions. A small or medium-sized
home can be comfortable with one or two
"mini-split" units, depending on the climate
and the home's heating needs.
5) ;e selection of a water-heating system depends on the frequency and amount of
your hot water use. No ma;er what system you
select, insulate your pipes and keep your shower
enclosed so you're comfortable at a lower water
temperature. Also consider installing a demand
pump if you have to wait for hot water; the average American family wastes 10,000 gallons of
water a year just waiting for it to get hot.
For electric water heating, insulated plastic
tanks last longer and lose less heat than traditional steel tanks. Air-source heat pumps are
available to ;t on standard tanks, and they
improve on the e;ciency of ordinary electric
resistance. Tankless systems can be e;cient
where long draws of hot water are required, but
be sure to check on yearly maintenance costs.
Integrated systems combining space heating
with water heating can be a way to justify the
expense of a very high e;ciency water heater.
If you're installing a ground-source heat pump,
an a;achment called a desuperheater will heat
your hot water as well.
6) Solar heating is great for domestic hot
water, particularly in nonfreezing climates. In
freezing climates, solar thermal panels must
be equipped to drain back to the tank and/
or must contain a glycol-based heat-exchange
;uid. Traditionally, the plumbing and maintenance costs of retro;t solar thermal systems
have limited their adoption, but that may be
changing as incentives remove cost barriers
— Doug Parker, Boulder County, Colo., sustainability examiner
and stimulate the industry to standardize systems and maintenance. Even though a solar
thermal system didn't ;t into his home economics, Parker says you should always pre-plumb for a system that may become practical
sooner than you think.
7) Photovoltaics are in the spotlight as
rebates make them more a;ordable. Don't buy
more modules than you need to cover your
loads. Most utilities that pay for overproduc-tion o;er only wholesale rates, so don't think
of your house as a power plant just yet. Find
solar resources and local professionals at FindSolar.com.
"It's a be;er investment than the stock
market right now," says Parker, referring to
the energy savings he is already reaping from
his improvements. Remember that simple payback analyses usually don't account for the cost
of borrowing money, the lifetime of equipment
purchased and the many noneconomic bene;ts of the improvements.
Rebates and incentives for e;ciency and
renewable energy are be;er than ever. Many
utilities have ratepayer-funded demand-side
management (DSM) initiatives, like the util-
Affordable Comfort Inc., for deep-energy-reduction and home-performance resources:
a; ordablecomfort.org
Building Performance Institute Inc., for BPI-accredited contractors: bpi.org
Building Science Corp., for information, consulting and seminars: buildingscience.com
Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency, including federal incentives:
Energy Star Home Improvements, with step-by-step projects: energystar.gov website
at tinyurl.com/ytnhxb
FindSolar.com, for information and local solar professionals: ; ndsolar.com

at tinyurl.com/yd4cgm
ity-operated "savers' switch" on Parker's air
conditioner. Howard Geller, executive director of the Southwest Energy E;ciency Project
( swenergy.org), says these incentives are worth
every penny: ";e cost to save energy is 2–3
cents per kilowa;-hour, while any new energy
source such as coal, natural gas, wind or solar
costs at least two to three times as much."
Utility and government rebates and tax
incentives for renewable energy and e;ciency
are growing rapidly nationwide. In addition,
districts like Berkeley, Calif., and Boulder,
Colo., are pioneering bond-funded loan programs that tie the cost of green retro;ts to the
property they bene;t.
Federal tax credits can make projects
more a;ordable than you think, too. ;e economic stimulus law approved earlier this year
increased the tax credit for e;ciency upgrades
to 30 percent, with a maximum combined
credit of $1,500 for installations made in 2009
and 2010. In addition, renewable energy system installations are eligible for a 30 percent
tax credit. See details at dsireusa.org.
A;er cost, the single biggest obstacle to
home energy retro;ts is the hassle of arranging
the work. Some local entities have responded
by developing installation programs that
improve homes while creating jobs. Home
Performance with Energy Star is another
e;ciency program intended to follow intention with implementation ( energystar.gov
website at tinyurl.com/yd4cgm). It connects
homeowners with certi;ed contractors, and in
many cases, it has separate auditors who identify tasks at the beginning and inspect them
at the end.
One thing is certain about an energy
remodel: It will pay back at a higher rate as
time goes on, making it a great investment
compared to cosmetic ;nishes that depreciate with each passing trend. Parker, for one,
feels more secure in his low-energy home. "We
like the notion of passive survivability," he
says. ";e power could go down and we'll still
be warm." ST

Painting? Wow!
holy crap, that's a painting!? gj!

Dang I thought I saw a photo
Whoa, that looks like a photo from a distance. Nice job by the way, this is pretty good for a painting, although the only downside is that the water on her face looks kind of hard, like clay, at a certain angle. Other than that, it's fine.
I always loved that hyperrealistic stuff. Brilliant work!
are you somehow related to marcelo barenghi? holy shit!

I am creating a Asp.Net MVC application that is targeted for small rugged handhelds that are used in our warehouse. Because the screens are small we end up with a lot of processes where we take the user through several screens of entering information before we actually act on the information. For example if they want to create inventory we will have one screen that asks them for location and item number information, a second screen that ask for lot tracking information, and then a third screen that asks for quantity information. After they hit enter on the third screen we will take all the information and create a inventory transaction.
I am struggling with how to correctly structure this with models and validation. I want to provide validation information to the user at each screen. Here are the approaches that I have tried:
-- Have a different view for each page, and have a different model for each page. Again I use the custom Validation Attributes to do the validation. This approach works well except that I end up with a ton of different models that are fairly similar.
-- Have different views for each page and have one model that is used across all pages. For this method I cannot use the Validation Attributes for validation because if I made quantity (the field on the last page) required on the model then it would throw a error saying it was required on the first page. So I end up having to do my validation in my controller which I do not like.
I feel that each of these three approaches that I have come up with have significant issues. Is there a better way of handling this?


text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 220849 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 349 AM CDT FRI JUL 22 2016 .SHORT TERM... This section will be added soon. .LONG TERM... SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT... Forecast confidence is medium. Warm air advection (WAA), the nose of a low level jet (LLJ) and weak shortwave activity will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to southern WI Saturday afternoon. There should be high CAPE, but low shear, so most of the MKX forecast area is still in a marginal risk for severe on Day 2. However, SPC nosed the slight risk a little farther southeast now. Saturday is looking like another warm day. 925mb temps should reach 26c over the area, yielding max temps around 90. If thunderstorms hold off until later in the afternoon, then heat indices will be able to get into the mid to upper 90s. A thunderstorm complex is expected to develop over northern MN (NAM/ECMWF solution) or southern MN (GFS solution) on the nose of the LLJ Sat afternoon/evening. This complex should slide across central and south or southeast WI Sat night. Of course, there is plenty of uncertainty about its development and track, but went with likely PoPs for our area. SUNDAY... Forecast confidence is medium. We are not sure how Sunday is going to play out quite yet. If we get the Sat night convection, it will take a while for temperatures to recover after clouds clear, and dewpoints might not recover either. I went with the conservative blend of models with highs in the upper 80s to around 90 and max heat indices similar to Saturday, in the mid to upper 90s. More thunderstorms will be possible Sunday morning (depending on what Sat night convection does) within an area of warm air advection, just ahead of a shortwave trough and associated cold front. The surface cold front will slide across southern WI late Sun afternoon. Strong instability ahead of this front and decent shear will give us a chance for severe storms on Sunday, but it is still uncertain what the trigger will be (models are not in great agreement). SPC includes eastern WI in their Day 3 marginal risk area. MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... Forecast confidence is high. It looks like a cooler and quieter weather pattern is in store for southern WI for the first part of next week with high pressure over the Great Lakes. High temperatures are expected in the mid 80s with dewpoints in the lower 60s. Wednesday through Friday... Forecast confidence is medium. Both the GFS and ECMWF are showing a potent shortwave tracking through the Upper Great Lakes for the middle of the week which will bring our next chance for storms. The problem is that each model brings this shortwave through the area at different times. It looks like weak shortwaves will also interact with diurnal heating in slightly cyclonic flow to keep small chances for showers and thunderstorms across southern WI for this whole period. The weekend is also looking like there will be active weather. && .AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...coming soon. && .MARINE...coming soon. && .MKX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Daily Words of Wisdom
By Beth Levine
So stressed you could scream? This simple strategy can take you from panic to peace in a single phrase.
We all know what it's like to be on the brink of losing it. Overstuffed schedules, the competing demands of family and work, the sting of setbacks and disappointments, and the trauma of a troubled economy can gang up to push us near the edge of the ledge. But a surprisingly easy and effective technique can help us avert meltdown. Repeating a positive, personal phrase — a meaningful motto minted from life experience, plucked from a favorite book or movie, or borrowed from a role model — can refocus our priorities, remind us that we're competent and capable, calm us down, and propel us forward. Exhausted runners call these affirmations "marathon mantras" and repeat them during grueling stretches when they're on the verge of quitting. This strategy can work for anyone; Herbert Benson, M.D., director emeritus of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine in Boston, recommends it for lowering stress in everyday life. Repeating a meaningful phrase, he says, breaks the train of anxious thought. Research suggests that the technique can rewire some anxiety circuits in the brain.
We asked women across the country what words of wisdom they summon to restore perspective when they're about to spiral out of control. Borrow theirs or, better yet, coin your own.
When life looks like it's falling apart, it may just be falling in place
—Beverly Solomon, 55, Lampasas, TX; creative director
"When my husband and I left Houston to restore an 1856 ranch in the Texas Hill Country, it seemed like everything that could possibly go wrong did. I was starting to have doubts about our decision. But then I realized that all of these 'bad things' had to happen — and this affirmation came to me. Now I say it to myself whenever something upsetting happens."
Will this matter five years from now? No? Then get over it.
—Hali Chambers, 45, Luray, VA; massage therapist
"I use it whenever little disasters stress me out — I miss an important phone call, say — or if someone cuts me off while driving. It helps me keep perspective on what's important: family, friends, staying centered."

The latest innovation in shower design and technology, digital showers allow the unit and user controls to be sited separately using a wireless connection. That means that you can switch your shower on and get the water hot before stepping in.
Digital showers comes as pumped or unpumped and electric or mixer models.
The water in a digital shower comes from a small processor box, which mixes hot and cold water to the desired temperature thermostatically. This can be hidden out of sight rather than being stored in the shower enclosure itself, with the water flowing to the shower head via the riser rail, the wall or the ceiling.
Digital shower control units also allow you to pre-program the water temperature - so you don't have to fiddle around with the temperature control while you're in the shower
Discounted Heating provide a large range of digital showers, so why do you not indulge yourself with the perfect shower.

Canadian Stocks Retreat as U.S. Economy Shrinks, RIM Tumbles
Canadian stocks fell, erasing earlier gains, as Research In Motion Ltd. slumped after unveiling its new line of smartphones and a report showed the U.S. economy unexpectedly shrank in the fourth quarter.
RIM tumbled 12 percent, suggesting investors are skeptical the new models can win back customers from Apple Inc. and Google Inc.'s Android. Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. lost 3.4 percent after Rio Tinto Group said it is considering a temporary halt to construction work at the $6.2 billion Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold project in Mongolia. CCL Industries Inc., a maker of specialty packaging, surged 16 percent after agreeing to buy two businesses from Avery Dennison Corp.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index fell 36.12 points, or 0.3 percent, to 12,794.44 in Toronto, reversing earlier gains of as much as 0.5 percent. The benchmark gauge has advanced 2.9 percent this year.
"I'm surprised with the miss as significant as it is, the markets should be down more than they are," Gareth Watson, vice president of investment management and research with Richardson GMP Ltd., said from Toronto. His firm manages C$16 billion. "The market is still focusing on individual company earnings."
The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.1 percent annual rate, the worst performance since 2009, according to a government report today. A decline in government outlays and smaller gain in stockpiles subtracted a combined 2.6 percentage points from growth.
Energy Shares
TransCanada Corp. dropped 1.2 percent to C$48.17 and Suncor Energy Inc. slipped 0.4 percent to C$34.38 as energy companies and banks contributed most to declines in the S&P/TSX. Trading volume was 6.6 percent higher than the 30-day average.
The Bank of Montreal slipped 0.5 percent to C$63.40, its biggest loss since Dec. 27, after the lender said it will repurchase as much as 15 million of its common shares over the next year.
RIM, which changed its name to BlackBerry today, plunged 12 percent to C$13.86. The stock has more than doubled since late September, reflecting optimism that BlackBerry 10 phones can catch on with consumers.
Chief Executive Officer Thorsten Heins introduced two new phones -- the touch-screen Z10 and a model named the Q10 with a physical keyboard. The Z10, which starts at $199 with a wireless contract, will be available on Jan. 31 in the U.K., on Feb. 5 in Canada, and in March in the U.S. The Q10 will follow in the coming weeks, the company said.
'Nice Run'
Shaw Wu, an analyst with Sterne Agee & Leach Inc., said BlackBerry's price points for the new phones are not competitive with Android smartphones available at $99, $49 or free. U.S. availability may also be "disappointing to some," Wu said.
BlackBerry "had a really nice run, now it seems like people are selling on news," said Bruce Campbell, president of Campbell & Lee Investment Management in Oakville, Ontario. "They got everyone excited and then you can't buy it for five weeks? That doesn't make sense."
Turquoise Hill fell 3.4 percent to C$7.87. Rio Tinto, which owns a majority stake in Turquoise Hill and is co-developing the Oyu Tolgoi project, is considering a halt to construction at the Mongolian site as a protest against demands from the government for a greater share of profit from the mine, according to two people familiar with the matter.
CCL Industries, based in Willowdale, Ontario, soared 16 percent to a record C$53.25. The company agreed to buy Avery Dennison's office-products business and label-converting unit for $500 million in cash.
Geoffrey Martin, CCL's chief executive officer, said the acquisition is the largest in the company's history and bolsters its label offerings. The two units had a combined revenue of $910 million last year, the statement said.

Hot answers tagged 500-internal-error
Error pages are served up via .HTACCESS, if you are using Apache you would use the ErrorDocument directive and add the status and URL to it. So it would look like this in your .htaccess file: ErrorDocument 401 http://yourwebsite.com/error-401 ErrorDocument 403 http://yourwebsite.com/error-403 ErrorDocument 500 http://yourwebsite.com/error-500 You could ...
Sometimes I have a 500 error ( from NGinx ) just because I have a "character" getting outputted before the first header gets written ( or in-between ). Activate WP_DEBUG = true and see what happens. 99% of the case I could spot the error from there. ( and it was nearly all the time the above error ). Post back if that doesn't solve your debug difficulty ...
Assuming you're on Linux, if you go to your wp-content/plugins folder and run grep -R 'htaccess' * it should let you know if any plugins are addressing that file by name
I received a 500 Error message after update the wordpress. However, the problem was not caused by the update process. Your database server may corrupt a table(s). To fix this problem you should use phpMyAdmin or something else, and optimize/repair the tables. It Works For Me!
In phpmyadmin search : SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'template' OR option_name = 'stylesheet' OR option_name = 'current_theme'; then : UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'yourthemename' WHERE option_name = 'template'; UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'yourthemename' WHERE option_name = 'stylesheet'; UPDATE wp_options SET option_value ...
I had the same issues, after some time of not touching the site it suddenly started producing "500 Internal Server Error" on various pages. After a week of pulling my hair it turned out that my "/wp-content/debug.log" (which I enabled a long time ago and then forgot about) was over 128 MB, and therefor could not be written to for some reasons, hence all ...
Internal Server errors are usually thrown when there's an error somewhere in the code. You did the right thing searching the logs, but depending on your hosting configuration not all errors can be written there. I like using WordPress's own logging facility. Here's what you need to do: Stick the following lines in your wp-config.php file define('WP_DEBUG',...
Is $posts a reserved variable Yes, it is, $posts is the global variable which holds the array of posts from the main query. This is how it is set: $GLOBALS['posts'] = & $wp_query->posts; Just remember, $posts === $GLOBALS['posts']
The transient is in place just fine, see get_dir_size() source. Note that if you have enough files for this to cause major performance issues you are probably better disabling upload limit or it might mess up other related functionality like uploads.
For the sake of clarity, this should be your .htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /zingery/wordpress/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /zingery/wordpress/index.php [L]
Does wordpress have any built-in settings for doing this? Most likely your host will have an option on your cPanel for custom Error pages. Something along the lines of: If that is not the case, please have a look at this older question: How to create custom 401, 403 and 500 error pages? EDIT 1: Also at this one: http://stackoverflow.com/...
The correct line number for this variable in the most recent WordPress version are 207 and 209. So I guess something has mangled your files. It is impossible to answer what exactly happened without seeing that code. Look for new user accounts, and re-upload all WordPress files from the source.
Disabling garbage collection only means that what ever memory is being leaked will reamain leaked and there will be no effort to reclaim it. To fix 500 problems you need to check the actual errors reported at the php error log.
My problem had to do with file permissions. Even though it looked like the permissions were correct, the index.php in the root had the permission set to 644, instead of 664. Once I changed the permission the front-end loaded. It's a bit odd that of all files in the root, the index is the only one with the wrong permission.
Sorted it out myself. The problem was, server was very slow to process the import. The process was happening behind the scene but server actually went down. When server was up, I could see all the content on the other site.
When I had developed a theme, and I was trying to automate the import process by tweaking wordpress-importer plugin. I had faced the same issue. When importing server processes numerous DB operations at same time, that's why it's not able to respond and it results in 500 Internal server error. Try 1 : To fix the issue, you have to import one by one. ...
I am not an expert, but you have a couple of issues here Firstly, is_archive() should be an object of $query. You should also just target the front end with your function. Remember, pre_get_posts alters all instances of WP_Query, front end and backend. So this line if(is_archive() && $query->is_main_query()) : should look something like this ...
Are your database tables using the InnoDB engine? If so, and the plugin is just for your website, start a transaction, run the inserts, commit the transaction (or rollback on error). global $wpdb; $wpdb->query('start transaction'); // do the inserts $wpdb->query('commit');
I solved the problem by using this code. if ( ! function_exists( 'theme_post_meta_data' ) ) : /** * This function prints post meta data. */ function theme_post_meta_data() { printf( __( 'Posted on %2$s by %4$s', 'theme' ), 'meta-prep meta-prep-author posted', sprintf( '<a href="%...
Error 500 ISE is very generic and can be caused by numerous underlying issues. Your first step should be locating error log for your hosting account or asking support to help with that. It may indicate .htaccess issue. Regenerate .htaccess, and be sure the encoding in your text editor is Unicode No BOM It may also indicate a problem with the configuration ...
You can't really debug server errors without having really good access to the server itself. This would entail looking at the internal working of this particular host which I'm certain they would not allow nor spend any actual time trying to fix. Move to a better host if they cannot give you more details as to what the problem is or ask for access to the ...
That error, SoftException in Application.cpp:303: UID of script ... is smaller than min_uid is because the files are owned by the wrong owner, normally root, and UID (user IDs) less min_uid are not allowed (and root is typically 0). I'm not sure how that happened on HostGator, or what tools you have to remedy it, but you need to make sure the files are ...
Your site codereflect.com is not that heavy. Could be the Suffusion theme and its options making lots of DB calls. I'd use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/debug-queries/ to see what queries are being called and how many. And it also could be you're on a shared box at softlayer that is "too" shared with others.
Raising apc.shm_size from default value 32M to 256M in php.ini seems to do the trick for us. edit: raising that value is not a bad idea, however it does not solve the issue in the long term. We are now considering removing either APC or Super Cache...

Awards Conundrum
On the 26th of April 2010 we found out that we placed 31st in the S.Pelligrino World Top 50. This year is the sixth consecutive, and seventh year overall, that we've been included in the World Top 50 Restaurants. It's always a huge honour but awards, in the hospitality and food industry, are a double-edged sword.
On the positive side it's fantastic recognition and, in the eyes of the guest, it places you on another level. Plus who doesn't enjoy awards? It makes you feel important and noticed. It makes you feel that – on some level – what you're doing is worth it. Which is a little ridiculous because if you really think about it, if you really love what you do (and at Le Quartier Français we love what we do), it doesn't matter whether you win an award or not. If you're passionate you shouldn't need to be recognised, your passion should be enough. But somehow, even keeping the whole passion argument in mind, it does matter. Being recognised is important but being recognised also makes it incredibly difficult to manage guests' expectations.
When you've been considered a Top 50 restaurant for six consecutive years, like we have, some people expect an experience that is impossible to deliver. In fact if we weren't in the industry we'd also have unrealistic expectations about some of the award winning restaurants.
Mind you we're not complaining, we're just saying that while we wait every year – with bated breathe – to find out if and where in the Top 50 we have placed we hope we did both better and worse than the previous year. Because better would be mean keeping the dragon off our back, for another 365 days, and worse would mean the ability to exceed more of our guests' expectations.

I have a portable HDD on USB 3.0, and soon I'll have a 32gb flash drive on USB 3.0 as well.
My motherboard is pretty old - and the next time I'll upgrade it is when I get a new CPU/mobo/ram.
Slots on my mobo:
PCIE X16 - For my GTX 260
I'm considering purchasing a PCI express X1 card like this - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PC-Laptop-2-USB3-0-Ports-PCI-E-PCI-Express-X1-Card-New-/280772000446?pt=AU_Networking&hash=item415f50babe
Now the question:
What are realistic (read/write) speeds I'll get in this setup, assuming I have 1 USB 3 device connected at a time, and the bottleneck is the PCIE?

Blue Caprice
- Studio: Sundance Selects
- Release Date: Sep 13, 2013
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Proves a highly auspicious feature debut for Moors and Porto as well as a much-deserved return to the limelight for Washington. Don't miss it.
The key question is whether this procedural—as in, here we watch killers proceed—contributes to any greater understanding. I believe it does.
Precision-honed performances and a nonsensationalistic approach distinguish this impressive first feature from French helmer Alexandre Moors, which avoids pat explanations as it offers a speculative glimpse into murderous minds.
Blue Caprice takes a minimalist, documentary-style approach that proves harrowingly effective.
Blue Caprice is a cinematic punch to the gut, a mind-bending meditation on how to mold a killer, and one of the most potent and provocative true-crime movies ever made.
The filmmakers are more interested in questioning what brings people to commit senseless and merciless acts than they are preoccupied with the historical record.
Washington's performance is one of the best of the year, a high-wire act that is careful not to dip into survivalist caricature.
Moors isolates a well-known drama with the fleeting nonfiction prologue and explores it from the inside out: It's not an attempted reenactment, but it does aim to get at certain truths.
Moors is neither showy nor exploitative in his telling of the story. He just lays out the details, making "Blue Caprice" not just a story of horror, but of tragedy.
Moors' film is at its best when it worries at notions of how evil is born, fostered and brought to bloom.
The Beltway sniper case was solved a long time ago. But in some respects, Mr. Moors's haunting film suggests, it is still a mystery.
It finds no clear answers, but that suits both the horrific event and this haunting, elusive film.
The film's a character piece with a tightening noose of suspense, and while it has its artsy-indie-dawdly moments, it's disturbing in ways that aren't easy to shake. Is the movie necessary? Do we need a "John and Lee: Portrait of Two Serial Killers"? Because it shines a light, however hesitant, into the cramped, resentful mind-sets that fester in the corners of America, I'd have to say yes.
Even more impressive is young Tequan Richmond (TV's "Everybody Hates Chris") as the quiet, intense Malvo, a kid so desperate for a father figure in his life that he becomes putty in the hands of a killer.
Blue Caprice only spends a few minutes reenacting their crime — the movie shows us exactly how they did it in just a couple of scenes — because the facts of the case aren't the movie's focus. Instead, this lyrical, frightening film is a portrait of a man consumed by self-hatred who decided to take it out on the world.
Blue Caprice otherwise proves a deft mood piece, one that probes its characters' states of mind while remaining wholly unmoved by their grievances and hang-ups.
Blue Caprice, a disturbingly intimate look at the Beltway sniper attacks of 2002, isn't a horror film, but it certainly feels like one.
As admirable as Moors's oblique style is, though, Blue Caprice doesn't offer the sense of catharsis or closure, let alone new information, that makes it more than a cold, if disciplined, directorial exercise.
Director Alexandre Moors turns the project into something of an art film, requiring patience for repetitive editing and slow-burn scenes before the movie ultimately works itself under your skin.
Blue Caprice is probably what more post-9/11 cinema should have been: desperate for explanations, inchoate and wrapped in unspoken loneliness. Even though we can stomach it better a decade later, we're still not healed.
Blue Caprice tells its story in fragments, a provocative strategy that sometimes works to chilling effect, sometimes not.
The movie substitutes milky, washed-out color and funereal music for insight. The murders are purposely un-fluid: When you see Mohammad or Malvo take a shot, you don't see the impact of the bullet. When you see the victim struck, you don't see the shooter.
For all its tasteful spareness and eerie, diaphanous mood, Blue Caprice feels, in the end, insubstantial. It's a true-crime story that illustrates little about the crime in question and a character study whose characters, even when haunting, remain stubbornly opaque.

Like its subjects, this movie is cold and calculatedThis work takes the story of the Beltway killings and strips it of any sentimentality. Like its subjects, this movie is cold and calculated in its study of the perpetrators and their descent into psychopathy. These men were depicted as anti-social in the most diagnostic sense of the term - they were amoral, capable, logical killers, completely confident in their mission to expose mankind to its own demons through premeditated acts of violence. Why then, with such compelling subject matter, did this film feel so long and redundant? The lack of dynamics in the story telling would be my best guess.… Full Review »
