DSS FAQs
What is a disability?
An individual with a disability is defined as any person who:
- Has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities (including walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working, caring for oneself, or performing manual tasks)
- Has a record of such an impairment, or
- Is regarded as having such an impairment.
What is meant by "is regarded as having such an impairment" in the definition of disability?
For example, a person with a facial disfigurement may not have an impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities, but others may regard him or her has having one due to how he or she appears.
Isn't "disability" and "handicap" the same thing?
A "disability" is a condition caused by accident, trauma, genetics or disease that may limit a person's mobility, hearing, vision, speech, or mental function. A person may have more than one disability.
A "handicap" is a physical or attitudinal constraint imposed upon a person; for example, stairs, narrow doorways, and curbs are handicaps imposed upon people with disabilities who use wheelchairs.
What is a reasonable accommodation?
A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a course, program, service, job, activity, or facility that enables a qualified individual with a disability to have an equal opportunity to attain the same level of performance or to enjoy equal benefits and privileges as are available to an individual without a disability. Some common academic accommodations include extended time on tests, use of note takers, use of computer with spell check, and provision of sign language interpreters.
How does a student become eligible to receive accommodations?
To become eligible, a student must have a documented disability and inform the College that he or she is requesting accommodations based on that disability.
A student must:
- Contact the ADA Coordinator,
- Provide documentation of the disability that meets the College's documentation criteria, and
- Consult with the ADA Coordinator to determine appropriate accommodations.
Who determines the accommodation?
The ADA Coordinator determines the accommodations using:
- Documentation of the disability from qualified professionals provided by the student,
- Information gathered from a diagnostic student intake process, and
- Information from appropriate College personnel regarding essential standards for courses, programs, services, jobs, activities, and facilities.
The determination of reasonable accommodations considers the following:
- The barriers resulting from the interaction between the disability and the campus environment;
- The array of accommodations that might remove the barriers;
- Whether or not the student has access to the course, program, service, job, activity, or facility without accommodations; and
- That essential elements of the course, program, service, job, activity, or facility are not compromised by the accommodations.
Won't providing accommodations on examinations give an unfair advantage to a student with a disability?
"Accommodations don't make things easier, just possible; in the same way eyeglasses do not improve the strength of the eyes, they just make it possible for the individual to see better. Accommodations are interventions that allow the learner to indicate what they know. Without the accommodations, the learner may not be able to overcome certain barriers."(Samuels, M. 1992 – Asking the Right Questions. The Learning Centre. Calgary)
Accommodations are designed to lessen the effects of the disability and are required to provide fair and accurate testing to measure knowledge or expertise in the subject. Careful consideration must be given to requests for accommodations when the test is measuring a skill, particularly if that skill is an essential function or requirement of passing the course, such as typing at a certain speed or turning a patient for an x-ray. In such cases, please contact the ADA Coordinator for guidance.
The purpose of such academic accommodations is to adjust for the effect of the student's disability, not to dilute academic requirements. The evaluation and assigning of grades should have the same standards for all students, including students with disabilities.
For many test takers, the most common accommodation is extended time. Double time is the maximum extension unless the ADA Coordinator gives prior approval. In specific circumstances, students may also require the use of readers and/or scribes, a modification of test format, the administration of examinations orally, or an alternative time for testing. For out-of-class assignments, the extension of deadlines may be justified, especially if the student is relying heavily on support services (readers for term papers, etc.).
If testing accommodations are necessary, students are responsible for discussing the arrangements with their instructors; instructors and students should then make arrangements with Student Support Services.
What do I do when a student discloses a disability?
Ask for the Faculty Accommodation Notice from the ADA Coordinator; this letter describes the accommodations that faculty are legally mandated to provide. During an office hour or at another convenient time, discuss the letter and the accommodations with the student. Students MUST present a Faculty Accommodation Notice to receive accommodations. If the student does not have a Faculty Accommodation Notice, he or she should be referred to the ADA Coordinator to provide documentation and request services. The ADA Coordinator will determine the appropriate accommodations after reviewing documentation of the disability provided by the student. Discuss any questions about recommended accommodations first with the student, then, if necessary, with the ADA Coordinator.
What if a student doesn't tell me about a disability until late in the semester?
Students have a responsibility to give instructors and the ADA Office time to arrange accommodations. The ADA Office encourages students to identify early in the semester. Instructors can help by announcing in class and in the syllabus an invitation for students to identify themselves early in the semester: "Any student who may need an accommodation due to a disability, please make an appointment to see me during my office hours. A letter from the ADA Coordinator authorizing your accommodations will be needed."
Once a student has identified to the instructor and requests authorized disability-related accommodations, the College has a legal responsibility to make reasonable attempts to accommodate the need, even late in the semester. There is no responsibility to provide accommodations prior to identification; for example, allowing the student to re-take exams with extended time.
Instructors should feel free to contact the ADA Coordinator for assistance on arrangements for last-minute requests.
Can I review the student's documentation of the disability?
The ADA Coordinator is designated to receive and interpret documentation of the disability and certify eligibility for services and determine accommodations. Disability information is confidential and students are not required to disclose this information to instructors.
What if I suspect that a student has a disability?
Talk with the student about your concerns regarding his or her performance. If the concern seems disability-related, ask if he or she has ever received assistance for a disability. If it seems appropriate, refer the student to office of the ADA Coordinator (Zehmer 152) to apply for services. Whether to self-identify is the decision of the student; however, to receive accommodations, disclosure with proper documentation is required.
If the student has never been evaluated for a learning disability and/or Attention Deficit Disorder/Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, the DSS office will provide a list of resources where the student may be screened or tested. Some of the resources offer a sliding fee schedule.
What if a student with a disability is failing?
Treat the student as you would any student who is not performing well in your class. Invite the student to your office hour to discuss reasons for the failing performance and what resources the student may use to improve. Encourage the student to visit Student Support Services to discuss some additional strategies to improve his or her grades. Contact the ADA Coordinator to discuss any additional concerns.
What if a student with a disability is often absent?
Talk with the student to discuss your concerns that absences are affecting class performance. Remind him or her of your policy on class absences. Determine with the student whether the missed work can be made up and make arrangements with the student to do so. Refer the student to the ADA Coordinator if too much class work has been missed.
What is a note taker?
A note taker is usually another student in class who agrees to provide copies of lecture notes taken during class. The note taker may make copies of notes in Student Support Services.
How can I assist a student with getting notes?
The Faculty Accommodation Notice will document the need for note takers. Students who cannot take notes or have difficulty taking notes adequately due to the effects of their disability can be accommodated in a number of ways, including: allowing them to tape record lectures, assisting them in obtaining an in-class note taker, and providing them with an outline of lecture materials and copies of overhead transparencies.
What should I do if a student who is deaf or hard of hearing shows up in my class without an interpreter?
In the unlikely event that a student shows up for the first day of class without an interpreter, the student should be referred to the ADA Office. The office will then attempt to schedule an interpreter.
Who is responsible for requesting an interpreter?
Students requiring an interpreter for class must make the request to the ADA Coordinator at least three weeks before the last day of regular registration. For outside class requirements, such as field trips or other assigned activities, as well as office hours, students should request the interpreter in writing to the ADA Coordinator at least two weeks ahead of time or more, depending on the event. For a College-related event, such as a meeting, workshop, or discussion group, the sponsoring department or organizer should request an interpreter from the ADA Office. We cannot guarantee an interpreter when requests are made less than two weeks before the event.
Do I need to alter my teaching style with an interpreter present?
Interpreters are professionals who facilitate communication between hearing individuals and people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The role of the interpreter is similar to that of a foreign language translator: to bridge the communication gap between two parties.
Some adaptations in presentation style may be helpful when using a sign language interpreter. The interpreter will let you know if you need to slow down your rate of speaking or if they need you to repeat any information. A desk copy of the book is especially helpful for the interpreter when the class is using examples or doing exercises from the text. Please realize that if students are looking at the interpreter, they cannot be reading a book, writing, or taking notes; a pause for the students to finish their task may be required before continuing the lecture.
What can I expect if there is an interpreter in my classroom?
Interpreters are bound by the code of ethics developed by the National Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, which specifies that interpreters are to serve as communication intermediaries who are not otherwise involved.
- When an interpreter is present, speak directly to the deaf or hard-of-hearing person rather than to the interpreter, and avoid using phrases such as "tell him" or "ask her."
- Speak normally, noting that there may be a lag time between the spoken message and the interpretation.
- When referring to objects or written information, allow time for the translation to take place. Replace terms such as "here" and "there" with more specific terms, such as "on the second line" and "in the left corner."
- In a conference room or class environment, the deaf student and interpreter will work out seating arrangements, with the interpreter usually located near the speaker.
- Inform the interpreter in advance if there is an audiovisual element in a presentation, so arrangements can be made for lighting and positioning.
- In sessions that extend longer than one hour, the interpreter may require a short break to maintain proficiency in interpreting.
What should I do if my class needs to evacuate the building due to an emergency?
Students should let you know at the beginning of the semester if they will need assistance during an emergency.
- Students who are blind or have low vision may need a "buddy" to assist them in exiting the building.
- Some students with head injuries or psychiatric disabilities may become confused or disoriented during an emergency and may also need a "buddy."
- Students who use wheelchairs should NOT use the elevator but should wait for Safety and Security to safely assist them to exit the building. Security has the schedules of students who will need emergency evacuation. To prevent injuries, instructors or other untrained personnel should NOT attempt to evacuate a student who uses a wheelchair. Please wait for trained emergency personnel.
What if a student has a seizure in my classroom?
The ADA Coordinator encourages students with seizure disorders to inform their instructors about what should be done if a seizure occurs during class time. Some students request that Safety and Security be called immediately, others request action as listed below.
Seizures happen when there is a sudden electrical discharge in the brain. Each individual has a unique reaction. A seizure can result in a relatively slight reaction, such as a short lapse in attention, or a more severe reaction known as a grand mal, which involves convulsions. Seizure disorders are generally controlled by medication, so the possibility of a seizure in the classroom is rare.
If one does occur, the following actions are suggested:
- Keep calm. Ease the student to the floor and open the collar of the shirt. You cannot stop a seizure. Let it run its course and do not try to revive the student.
- Remove hard, sharp, or hot objects that may injure the student, but do not interfere with his or her movements.
- Do not force anything between the student's teeth.
- Turn the student's head to one side for release of saliva, place something soft under the head.
- Make sure that breathing is unobstructed, but do not be concerned if breathing is irregular.
- When the student regains consciousness, let him or her rest as long as desired.
- To help orient the student to time and space, suggest where he or she is and what happened.
- Speak reassuringly to the student, especially as the seizure ends. The student may be agitated or confused for several minutes afterward.
- Don't leave the student alone until he or she is clearheaded. Ask whether you can call a friend or relative to help him or her get home.
If the seizure lasts beyond a few minutes, or if the student seems to pass from one seizure to another without regaining consciousness, contact the campus Safety and Security office. This rarely happens, but when it does, it should be treated immediately.
As a member of The University of Virginia's College at Wise faculty, am I required to provide the accommodations listed on the Faculty Accommodation Notice?
Yes. The accommodations requested are based on professional evaluations and documentation of the specific disability. They provide each student the accommodations to which he or she is legally entitled and allow the student the opportunity to succeed in your class. The accommodations are no guarantee that a student will succeed nor are they intended to give the student with a disability an unfair advantage.
Am I required to provide accommodations to every student who tells me that he has a disability based on that student's story?
No. To receive accommodation of any kind in your classroom, students need to identify themselves to the ADA Coordinator and supply appropriate documentation. The information provided will be reviewed and discussed with the student individually: only then will a request for services be initiated. Faculty should not provide accommodations to any students unless they have seen the ADA Coordinator first.
Do I need to ask the student for documentation?
No. Information that documents a disability is as confidential as a student's medical record. If a student wants to submit documentation, he or she should present this directly to the ADA Coordinator.
What if I think a student may have a learning disability? Does The University of Virginia's College at Wise provide testing for this?
No. The College does not have the resources on campus to provide a professional evaluation. There are, however, a number of qualified professionals in the area to whom students can be referred. In many cases the cost of this evaluation can be covered through the student's health insurance. Please refer the student to the ADA Coordinator for a current list.
Must I make provisions for getting students special equipment, tape recorders, taped texts, or other items needed to provide accommodation?
Yes and no. While it is your responsibility to accommodate students, the ADA Coordinator, with the help of Student Support Services, works to help faculty accommodate students with disabilities. In most cases, arrangements will be made in advance, but you must help the student with the use of the equipment or other aids in your classroom.
As a faculty member, are there legal findings that I should be aware of regarding students with disabilities?
Yes. The Association for Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) has several publications detailing court cases which are included as part of the bibliography for this handbook. You may also access some very important court rulings via AHEAD's Web site. In addition, the ADA Coordinator has additional information on these court cases. You may call and get copies regarding a specific subject (7-0265).

ESPN's just one of the prominently featured supporters of SOPA, the law that has your favorite non-Deadspin sites going black today.
The vague language of SOPA (and its associate PIPA) opens up a huge latitude for the government to shut down sites that link (even occasionally) to content that infringes upon copyright. One of those sites is Grantland, which regularly links to unlicensed clips on YouTube. Bill Simmons alone accounted for 98 possible SOPA-worthy violations, which could put Grantland.com—and ESPN.com—at serious risk of being seized by the government. The full list of potential violations is below.
ESPN already has something of a conflicted relationship with SOPA. Rob King, vice president and editor-in-chief of ESPN Digital Media (which makes him well-positioned to see the absurdities of the SOPA bill), is a member of the Online News Association's board of directors; the ONA has voiced its opposition to the bill. Poking around Grantland, you'll find hundreds of other SOPA-relevant violations of copyright. It's curious that a site built in part on the commonplace use of other people's content is itself owned by one of SOPA's biggest supporters.
Anyway, the list:

Ryan's Yogurt.
Put 8 cups of milk into a crock pot on low for 2 and a half hours. Turn the crock pot off and wait 3 hours. Put in a half cup of starter. Plain dannon or activia yogurt seems to work the best. You only need to buy it once though, because for all later batches you can just set aside a half cup of your finished product.
After putting in the starter, let it sit in the crock pot over night, or at least 9 hours.
At this point you have yogurt.

Do you have fan art and want it on the site? I can do that, my only rule is to keep it Web-14 and for it to at least have something to do with G'nerds2000 (or Kingdom Come, or Red City, or the other yet to be disclosed comic). Here's how to get the art to me:
Step One: Upload your image to http://photobucket.com/ or something.
Step Two: PM me with the image URL along with any credits you want me to post along with it such as a name, pen name, or website.
And then I'll upload it onto the site.

Anyone catch the Special? I didn't understand much of it but it looks good all the same. As a Brit I'm kind of interested in where this Britannia Empire comes from. Is it the future UK or a conglomerate of UK, Europe and US? Even the flag looks a little like the Union Jack. However I find it rather comforting to know that in Code Geass's alternate future setting Pizza Hut is still in operation lol. Maybe it's the dawn of in-anime advertising...
Did anyone find the auditions a tad disturbing? Those poor wannabe seiyuus. Of-course looking good in a bikini and being able to unicycle is key to being a good voice actress. In Japan

Hmm....seen the Geass Special, nothing that outstanding really. It basically gives us some gist on what is Code Geass about (( 2 best friends, one soldier, one civilian different sides of war, saves a mysterious girl, is given 'teh mysterious powah', etc )), stock mecha anime stuff. Though the chess analogies does make me wonder if they intend to pursue the relatively untouched theme of GSD's parellel's to chess. Aside from that, it looks like it's be a decent show altogether.
The seiyuu audition,B-Girl was hilarious.
Teriyuki wins the Special for being awesome.

The special was interesting...
I like Ruruju Ran-peruju~ lol such a cool name... I think its another one of those rebellious Char Aznable names.
Sounds like it has a interesting premise and interesting chars. Only ... well not all that much is really said and I'm wondering how Ruruju's school mates and other relationships are. lol @ when the seiyuu for Ruruju said he gets the bad-guy vibe from Ruruju.
Also there is zero hint at what the mysterious "powah" is.
B-girl contest... uhhh what? I hate exploitation... lol

You can call him Lelouch if you like... although I think Ruluju/Ruruju looks better than Lelouch (reminds me too much of... I dunno, leech)
I haven't watched the special but going by the comments I'll give it a pass and actually do some studying for that bio exam tomorrow... I'm not interested in seeing the poor girls have to do so much just to be seiyuu. It makes the whoel thing seem more like a world of idols rather than about honest acting, but oh well...
Though I'll eventually watch it before the show airs to hear FLOW's song
EDIT: Ooh, I just found something interesting... I wish I could read the rest of this article with regards as to why this is at 2 am, but from what little is there, I think we were guessing on the right track... Seiji Takeda (producer of SEED and FMA, notice they conveniently leave out DESTINY and Blood+ of course) wanted to create an anime with a worldview modeled after the Cold War phenomenon between USA and the Soviet Union, but was promptly told "A Cold War setting is just way too outdated, and it isn't relevant to current times. You sure you can write a "revolution" based on such settings?" - a rather blunt "No".
From then on it was right back to the drawing board where he extensively reworked his planning and made the decision to shift his plan from the 6pm slot to the late-night slot, effectively extending the viewership to not the intended core of people in their "high teens", but adults as well. In order to add depth to the story he decided to emphasize on the aspect of "Picaresque Roman(ce)". Suzaku, who was originally just supposed to be Lelouch's close friend, got rewritten into a soldier of the Imperial forces. He also asked CLAMP to rework the character designs. (the rest isn't really relevant)
This is a transcript of that bit
Spoiler for not a spoiler:
So originally this was intended to be a doroku thing.

Okay, I gave up trying to vomit yet another essay on protein active sites and 3D conformations so I watched the Code Geass preview thing...
Actually, I think I'll lower my expectations of the show now... Maybe you'll disagree but to me, it just seems like it's trying too hard to be similar to SEED. And the preview was, in one word, pimporama. Of course you'd expect it to be like that, but they really showed off the commercial clout that everyone has in that show by showing how they could *gasp* show clips from other anime and Gundam models because it's Sunrise. (But yay! Planetes!!) In other words it felt like they were overhyping it too much. You know it's gotten down to ridiculous when they're happily showing the stupidity of all those idols getting interviewed in a bikini and doing totally irrelevant things and making it look like a good thing. Shucks.
The thing is Suzaku and Lelouch's relationship is REALLY hinting very strongly at Kira and Athrun. I think they realised that many fans enjoyed that aspect of SEED more than anything else and are capitalising on it to create a similar reaction to this show.
I agree about what someone said regarding the seiyuu - don't waste Sakurai on a good guy! If you've got someone like Lelouch you should have him voice him. (I hope this means they'll do something like totally swap their characters aroudn halfway through the show or something, though) I like Sakurai though...
I guses I'd be happier if they didn't have the whole 'mystical girl suddenly appears!!1" aspect. Already I want to kick CC out of the show, it's so tiredly cliche I thought they'd start phasing it out of mainstream shows by now but nooope...
Well, despite them claiming that it's a "show with reality like no other", I kind of doubt it, really. Just look at the ruler of Britannia (or his son or whoever) - it's so anime-like and overdressed and overdramatic... Surely he could have toned down a bit and instead delivered his drama in more subtle, effective ways like eye movement or convincing gestures? Nope, they can't do that... I don't know if they could sensibly and fairly portray terrorism and the mindsets supporting it as wel as those against it.
But... after all I'm an anime fan and I can enjoy these things so instead I'll try to just enjoy it as a fun show - don't think, feel... squee over Lelouch every now and then... One interesting thing is how Taniguchi said that anyone should be able to find someone in the anime who they can empathize with. Hope the one I like doesn't die tragically while the ones I hate live on.
FLOW's song sounded good - the "punch" soudned a bit too much like the one for Eureka 7 though, but hey, it's probably going to be stuck in my head anyway. The opening animation to this must surely be very good .
I guess I sound awfully negative, but at least it'll definitely have decent production values, and it'll be fun. (Generically speaking) If it can't even be fun then that's utter failure but I doubt it'll be that. Surely will be 1000x better than Blood+.
I suppose my disappointment probably stems from my "base-expectations-too-much-off-staff" attitude which more often than not will lead to disappointment. But with the Okouchi/Taniguchi combi I really was hoping for something new - guess the producer influence and demands still holds out strong. Hope we'll see something really good show through as the show airs though.
As an omake here is a hanken drawn by Yuriko Chiba. I wish they gave her the character designing from the start, she would have interpreted CLAMP's designs better than the (IMO) overglossy, over-SEED-esque designs of Takahiro Kimura...
Oh yes, like Nightingale said, the whole power-coming-from-Lelouch's eye is so reminiscent of SEED that I... well... sigh. Well, 5 weeks later we'll see if I completely rescind my statements and hail Taniguchi as God, or I give up on this show. :P

When I was trying to write his name I was too lazy to load up the series page to double check. lol all i did was watch the part where he said his full name a couple times over.
So its Lelouch for sure... but... ranperuuji...taking what the makers considered L's instead of R's... Lanpeluji... mmmm Lanpeloush? Lanpeluge?
Well basically I guess its "Le"-"Lew""shu" ... "Lan""Pe" "Ruuji" Like how Strike "Rouge"(Ruuju) is said... close to like how "luge"(Ryuju) (the sport) sounds. Just at the end its "ji" instead of "ju".
(Lelouch Lanpelouji) I guess.... lol JP and their katakana usage and whatever they come up in English for it is insane... and defies common sense very often. lol

Looking back, I find it funny (( or sad )) that most people coming into the apparent interest of Code Geass around the anime fandom seems to be drawn from 3 words, CLAMP, PlanetES, FLOW. The word Sunrise or even Sycred/GunxSword hardly appeared at all.
I never really had any high expectations for Code Geass, considering the fact that it's promotional picture alone reeks of commercial caterism. I'd agree to the extent that they're probably drawing in the power from the ideal basis of Kira/Athrun with Lelouch/Suzaku, buy considering this had already been in planning for 3 years, I'd say that aside from various factors, it should deliver decently. I hardly expect the PlanetES duo to continually dish out that PlanetES level of performance, such as I don't expect Husband and Wifey Cyber Formula to continually dish out Sin/GEAR level of performance.
Above everything else, if they potray Lelouch's seemingly Yamagi Light-ish "quest to overthrow Brittiania no matter what the means even if it means that he's no different from the Empire" vs Suzaku's Athrun/Kira-ish "I fight for something that may not be good...BUT!!!!*insert random rational reasoning with goody-goody intention*" well enough, I suppose that's enough reason to watch the ANGST. I just hope it's more of Suzaku's and less of Lelouch's though. It's bad enough Lelouch will have surely his "my abandoned past" angst.
Putting all that aside, I REALLY like the Ali Project ED. It gave me 'Zettai Unmei Mokushirokou' vibes, which is always a good thing.

I think I'm one of those people who are drawn in by the CLAMP factor. And the angst.
Lelouch was the 8th successor to the throne... I don't get it. @_@
A really short summary of the preview.
From what I've seen in the preview, the character struggles and setting interest me, albeit stock. However, I really, really don't like mecha... So the ratio of mecha vs. bishounen in the first episode will probably make or break the series for me.

Eh, I've never liked mecha, but I'm somehow pretty hyped up about the series. Must be because I'm impressed by Sunrise's latest work (ZEGAPAIN being my first mecha anime), or possibly the combination of my favorite seiyuu (Ami Koshimizu & Yukana especially) and good theme songs.
I was a bit turned off by the seiyuu-in-a-bikini competition thing from the preview though....

They could have relied on the 'big new mecha show from Sunrise' lure, but that clearly doesn't work anymore. Well it didn't work for Zegapain.

If anything, I suppose GEASS will be more imbued on the character struggles, political differences, rather than stock mecha-ism. The trailers don't seem so high on ZOOMG!! LANCELOT IS SOO SLICK!!!! but more on "Character Angst/Political Struggles/Mysterious Power kind of trailer.

Wow such hatred for the mecha genre. Looks like the genre's dead to most of the fanbase. Alright boys, I guess its time for me to go into the isolation as the loli and H-Game rampage tramples the remains of a sadly unpopular genre. Thanks a bunch GSD, for ruining peoples expectations forever. Apparentely Eureka 7 isn't even enough to save the genre from the deluge of poor-mediocore H-Game conversions.
Sigh most people barely know what the real mecha genre is, I'm talking about pre GSD here.

It's really before GSD really. For some unknown reason, it seems mecha just isn't the thing nowadays. I was born imbued with the blood of mecha, so be it, but a lot of people in general just seems...sick of mecha. And h-game conversions seem to be the in thing nowadays. How complex.
I mean, c'mon, look at the non-existant interest over OG TV series. It doesn't even have Sunrise labelled on it, but apparently no one cares. Anything that's mecha is ignored.
I'm hoping VOTOMS or YATTEYARUZE!! next year will revive the mecha genre.

I mean one H-Game conversion per month alright, two pushing it unless there good. Roughly 18 in the trailer page I just saw on ANN that I can barely tell the difference between and its pretty obvious that the genre is out of control and needs to be checked for other genres to thrive a bit. I see Code Geass as a breath of fresh air, not because I expect it to be a masterpiece but because its a well needed change of pace from all the H-Game anime and a ray of hope for an 80's guy in a culture that no longer welcomes him with open arms.
I always get, "you don't have to watch it" from smarmy posters, but really what other new series can I watch then. No really tell me, please..... Otherwise I'm just gonna keep sticking to pre 2000 series as a safety net.

Hopefully Code Geass will restore some interest and faith in the genre. I'm trying to keep my expectations under control but tbh my only hope is that it will be addictive fun like Eureka 7.

I don't particularly think that mecha is a Dying Ignored Breed, as every season has at least a mecha or 2. People here too can say all they want about SEED or GSD sucking, but speaking relatively, both of them are successful products commercially. Not so much of GSD, but frankly, how can anyone say they flopped in the commercial market? Not as successful as SEED perhaps, but who's gonna blame who?
But this is relatively off-topic. While Code Geass : Lelouch of the Rebellion does possess the star power and the potential to be a great mecha series, it's not in it's place to start talking about the all-time-low on mecha interest and potential revitalization.

Yeah, and there's still 'old-style' mecha anime (if you can call it that) like the newer Gaiking still being made. And there's that Dancougar remake you mentioned and there's GAINAX's Gurren-Lagann as well (that's not old-style but I think it'll be mech-heavy too)...
I don't think mecha is dying in Japan, it's just that it doesn't have the whole boom of the 80s - and it can't be helped because there will always be some rising and falling fad. Now it's moe and bishoujo-game conversion sort of things (which I don't particularly enjoy) which seem to be sticking around longer, but eventually that will pass as well (not saying you won't have any more of those kind of anime in the future, but probably less of it). Whatever makes money...
I guess I can hope it's fun like Eureka 7, although I think Eureka 7 had more a more refined/unusual flavour to it. Sure it had it's usual cheesy "WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER!!" kind of lines (and generally -_- scriptwriting) but you've got to agree the designs in general were all really quite good, and I thought the design sense was more to my taste than the ones in Code Geass.
I guess a lot has to do with the character designs (Kenichi Yoshida >>>>(unpassable wall)>>> CLAMP/Takahiro Kimura, in my book) but I thought the whole DJ/hippie flavour was kind of interesting. It was like abit of the 60s with a modern face.
Oh what am I saying, I'll probably be giggling at the screen when Lelouch and Suzaku have "!! WE'RE BEST FRIENDS BUT WE HAVE TO FIGHT EACH OTHER ;_;" kind of scenes. I'll admit I enjoyed it in Gundam Seed enough to marathon the whole thing...

The Commissar Vanishes
Watched episode 1.
Ok, what's good?
What's not so good?
Overall thoughs? An extremely campy mecha show. Guys, this is the "Gun X Sword" Goro Taniguchi.... not the PLANETES Goro Taniguchi. To me, this is a major disappointment, but perhaps it was to be expected. Not that it can't be good, because episode 1 had good animation and a somewhat promising plot.
It was a wrong thing to go to CLAMP, that I am certain of. Whatever artistic value this group has weilded since X, they have long spent it. I would have appreciated Code Geass much more, if the designs were different, even if only slightly. The way things are presented is just silly.
I might continue to watch it, though, as the show has some promise in the area of mecha fights. I am also intrigued by Lelouch's new power. It would be interesting to see what he can do with it.

Episode 1 was good. ^_^
Just as I thought, the mecha battles weren't the most exciting events in the world, but the CLAMP designs (read: bishounen) balanced it out.
I loved Britannia's iron grip on Area 11 and how it regards the ex-Japanese people. Yarr.
But wait, Yukana gets one of the more important roles but so little screentime? >_> She should've been listed as a side characters or something...

The two presidential candidates have been doing a lot of talking about the economy as they crisscross the country promoting their agendas. Congressional candidates have also taken to the podium to talk about how they want to lower the unemployment rate as they campaign.
But there's another government entity that isn't campaigning, doesn't get voted in or out of office, and yet it has enormous control over our economy.
It's the Federal Reserve, and it just did the equivalent on September 13th of passing unprecedented legislation to give the economy a boost. It's called QE3, and while its ultimate goal to spur employment could take a while to manifest, you might be seeing the effect on your wallet very soon.
Read on to find out how it works, what the risks are, and how it will impact your bottom line.
All About the Federal Reserve
To understand what QE3 is, you'll first need a little background. The Fed, as it is called, is the central bank of the U.S., and is tasked with keeping the economy running smoothly. The people running the Fed are economists, professors, lawyers and bankers-basically, highly educated men and women who know the U.S. financial and legal system inside and out. It's headed by the chairman, Ben Bernanke.
When the economy is sluggish, the Fed has several ways to inject money into the economy. One way, called quantitative easing, is for the Fed to buy bonds, treasury bills or other securities. Quantitative easing injects money into the economy, because the Fed is using money that wasn't yet in circulation to pay for those assets. That is what the Fed is doing now, and it's doing it in a big way.
Third Time's the Charm?
The Fed has already engaged in quantitative easing twice to help kickstart the economy, in purchases worth $2.3 trillion (that's $2.3 trillion in new money circulating in our economy), but so far the recovery has been anemic. So the Fed is trying again in what everyone is calling QE3.
Chairman Bernanke announced on the 13th that the Fed will buy $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac… each month. And that's what makes this QE so special: The Fed won't stop buying these assets until the unemployment rate drops below 7.5% or inflation gets too high. (More on that below.)
We don't want to bore you with the details of how it works, but suffice to say, by choosing to buy assets that are basically bundles of mortgages, it's hoping to lower mortgage rates so that more Americans can buy homes. Quantitative easing can also boost the stock market and help businesses afford to hire more people. That's the hope, anyway.
If you're a deficit hawk, don't panic. This $40 billion a month is not taxpayer money. The Fed is actually creating money through its policies. It's not literally printing dollar bills, but that's basically what it amounts to.
How Could QE3 Help You?
The main goal of QE3-bringing down the unemployment rate-won't be visible for some time. The effect of the buying of assets has to work its way through the economic machine before it spits out jobs on the other end. But there are preliminary effects, according to the Washington Post:
1. Inflation could rise.
Pumping money into the economy has historically had the effect of increasing the prices of goods, because people have more money to spend. So, the biggest risk with this move is that inflation could rise to painful levels. And the worst-case scenario is that QE3 doesn't boost the economy at all, but only leads to high inflation. That's what economists called " stagflation" and it led to a lot of pain in the '70s. Imagine prices going up on everything, while more and more people can't find jobs. (Learn more about how inflation works.)
Right now, inflation is pretty low, at about 1.7% It's expected to rise to 2.17%.
Conclusion: You could be paying more for everything from gas to bread to clothing.
2. Interest rates on your savings and checking accounts will stay low.
Checking account returns are pretty much nonexistent. And savings accounts aren't much better. You can only get interest rates of about 1% at the very best. That won't change with QE3, since interest rates across the board will drop.
Conclusion: You will continue to earn almost no money on your bank accounts.
3. The stock market could rise.
Since the announcement, the stock market has gone up, but it's not clear how much of that is attributable to QE3, or just world economic events, like the European Union working to shore up the Euro. However, Fed Chairman Bernanke took some credit for the stock market's rally over the past few years, attributing it to the first two QEs. If QE3 works just as well, we could see higher stock prices.
Conclusion: If you have money to invest (or money already invested), you might see your wealth grow. (And you can get started with investing with this guide.)
4. Your mortgage rates could drop.
It's been two weeks since the Fed announced its new initiative. Despite the promises, so far, interest rates on mortgages haven'tbudged at all. This might be because banks are afraid that if they drop interest rates too much, they would be overwhelmed by applications to refinance. But interest rates might go down gradually in the coming months as banks work through the backlog of refinancing applications and have more room for new refinancing and new mortgages. Still, banks are skittish about lending to anyone with less than stellar credit, no matter what the offered interest rate.
Conclusion: If you have good credit and want to buy a home or refinance yours, you could benefit.
5. The unemployment rate could go down.
The end goal of QE3 is to lower unemployment by creating better business conditions that will encourage companies to hire. However, because more hiring by businesses depends on the stock market going up, interest rates going down and the housing market improving, we might not see unemployment drop right away, if it does at all.
Conclusion: If everything goes according to plan, you could find it easier to find a new job or negotiate a raise.
As you can see, in the short term QE3 might only benefit those who are already wealthy and can afford to invest and own homes. If businesses do eventually hire, though, everyone will benefit.
What will actually happen is a topic of fierce debate. The economy contains many confounding factors: corporate profits, how much banks actually decide to lend and the value of the dollar compared to other world currencies, among many other things. Even the former Fed Chairman Volcker has indicated he doesn't agree with Bernanke's bold move.
But they say that economists are less accurate than even weather forecasters. So on this, it looks like we'll just have to wait and see.

"Bon appétit" will soon mean more than just a mealtime wish on some sailings. In the ever-expanding world of culinary-themed cruising, Bon Appétit magazine has announced it is now branding cruise vacations. What exactly does this mean for food-loving cruisers?
The press release isn't loaded with details so I emailed Michael von Wittenau, vice-president of strategic business development for Signature Travel Network, the travel cooperative partnering with Bon Appétit.
He said details are in development and promised me more information in a few weeks. I imagine the upcoming Bon Appétit sailing on Regent Seven Seas Mariner in July is the first of a few in 2010. The Regent cruise, departing July 18th, spends seven days in Tuscany and the South of France. I can't think of two better regions for finding superb restaurants and markets teeming with the freshest produce.
It appears the usual foodie magnets, like cooking classes (although these are hands-on, so kudos for that) and tastings, will be offered onboard. But knowing Bon Appétit magazine, I'm guessing that the folks in charge, along with Signature Travel, will come up with some exciting new ideas for culinary exploration at sea.###
12-8-09 Bon Apétit Magazine to offer Branded Cruises Signature Travel Network and Bon Appétit magazine just announced a new partnership to create a culinary travel program for epicurean enthusiasts.
With the launch of a series of exclusive cruise and land vacations available for purchase only through Signature's Travel Specialists, travelers can now delve into culinary adventures through a variety of Bon Appétit branded vacations. Beginning in 2010, Signature and Bon Appétit will provide a collection of culinary immersion itineraries. The first scheduled holiday will be on the Regent Seven Seas Mariner departing on July 18, 2010 for a 7-day cruise, which will visit the Tuscan region of Italy and the South of France.
Travelers will now be able to familiarize themselves with a destination through culinary experiences such as: hands-on cooking classes, select tastings, wine and food pairing dinners, and much more. "We're thrilled about this partnership. It's a win-win situation," said Michelle Morgan, President of Signature Travel Network.
This joint program with Bon Appétit will work under Signature Travel Network's popular Personal Enrichment Series. The branded travel experiences will provide benefits to Bon Appétit and Signature clients through a variety of special offers, exclusive amenities and in-room/in-stateroom gifts. Some destinations the new program will feature will be Barcelona, Spain and Tuscany, Italy where guests will have the option to enjoy a private car and driver to guide them along a tailored culinary visit throughout the region crafted by Bon Appétit.
"Food is such a wonderful and vivid way to enjoy the individuality of a particular region of the world. The Bon Appétit branded departures will surely heighten the traveler's overall vacation experience. Traveling and tasting local cuisines go hand-in hand. By sharing the history and origins of each region's food, we will be providing a very different approach to discovering the spectacular destinations we will be visiting," said Michael von Wittenau, Vice President of Strategic Business Development at Signature.
The partnership with Bon Appétit and Signature will bring success to both organizations. "With a world class hotel and resort program, seasoned travel professionals well-versed in destinations around the world, and one of the industry's most robust amenity programs, we feel that Signature Travel Network will deliver the experience and authority that our readers have come to expect from us," says Paul Jowdy, Vice President and Publisher of Bon Appétit.

If you front load the Revis deal you do not have two corners earning ridiculous money. If you paid Revis $14m - making him by far the highest paid corner in the league - for both 2013 and 2014, the average you'd be paying for your two corners would be $7.25m each. Are you telling me you wouldn't pay that average for a Revis and Sherman combo?
Let's say Sherman signs a $10m per year deal in 2015 -- again, a massive contract. If you front load the revis deal so he only earns $7m in 2015/16 as a 30/31 year old (he earned $6m in base in 2012) then you're still only paying an average of $8.5m for the two best corners in the league.
Next year Zach Miller will take up $11m. I don't an average of $8m per year each for Sherman/Revis until 2016 is exactly pushing the boat out. You could argue Sherman's rookie deal makes it a bargain.
You are missing my point. It's not just Revis and Sherman....it's Wilson, Thomas, Okung, etc. They are all on rookie deals now.
Can we afford them both? Yes - but at the expense of losing other key pieces. And again, the secondary is not the problem on this defense. If Revis puts on 130 pounds and can penetrate the A and B gaps, then I'll be more excited.
This isn't fantasy football. We have a lot of key players to re-sign in the near future and adding an Albatross financial commitment like Revis, any way you want to justify it, doesn't make sense.
It's not worth it to break up the core of what we have for a luxury want. Just my opinion.

Python for Unix and Linux System Administration
by Noah Gift, Jeremy Jones
August 2008
"Perfect for Unix and Linux programmers and collections catering to them."
--Diane C. Donovan, California Bookwatch: The Computer Shelf
"...a very helpful digest of many answers to common problems often encountered by sysadmins. The great benefit of all of their solutions is that they harness the power of Python to perform critical, complex tasks very easily and consistently. Like Thanos Vassilakis, a programmer for NYSE, if you know a sysadmin who spends too much time at work, chances are they could use Python and this book to reclaim their personal life. "
--Al Lukaszewski, About.com
"This fabulous book will help you to read text files and extract information, run tasks using threading and forking options, get clickable GUI utilities, monitor large clusters of machines by interacting with SNMP programmatically, master the IPython shell...and much more."
--Nadia Russ, Wonderpedia
"If you are a Python advocate who is also responsible on occasion with managing your home or company computers, the book provides enough ideas and enthusiasm to jumpstart that currently manual system administrator task that begs to be automated."
--Mike Riley, Dr. Dobb's CodeTalk
"If you are an administrator, project organizeer or data monkey (a term for system admins who push files in a digital video shop) you should check out this book. "

Canadian Law Students / Undergrad« on: November 19, 2008, 10:59:41 AM »
So this is my first post in the forum, and I'm looking for some input on undergrad programs. I am looking to go to law school in the US after I have completed my undergraduate degree, but would prefer to do this degree in Canada. Since I'm in Quebec, I'll be getting my Cegep diploma in May 2009, and I'm not certain what to do for university. Since I'm in Quebec I can get into the uOttawa Civil Law program for 3 years, but I'm not sure this would be a "useful" bach when it comes to applying to Us law school. I have been told that a Civil Law bach might even reflect badly on US school apps for reasons I wasn't told. I've also considered applying to UofT into either Philo or PoliSci, or into those two same programs at McGill, UBC, and maybe a few others. I keep getting told by counselors and such that a Philo bach would be useless, and if I plan on taking a year off I'll have trouble finding a job with it, but this would be the my program of choice if I decide not to do Civil Law. PoliSci seems to be what everyone throws at me when I say I want to end up in law school, but I don't want to be cookie cutter, although I do think the program itself would be interesting. Now maybe I'm just paranoid and have had people saying too many things to me, but are my concerns even valid? If they are remotely valid, and even if they're not, would anyone be able to suggest one path over another?

As many readers may be aware NOKIA has provided the Iranian regime with a "monitoring center" that enables security forces to tap cell phones, scramble text-messages, and interrupt calls. NOKIA's new surveillance system has enhanced the regime's ability to crack down on dissent during recent protests.
Given that NOKIA has made it much easier for the Islamic Regime to crack down on Iranian dissidents, I was quite surprised and disgusted to find out that Mansour a well known and popular singer was going ahead with a previously scheduled concert at Club Nokia. The concert took place last night Saturday September 26th 2009 at Club NOKIA in Los Angeles.
According to "Boycott Mansours' Concert at Club NOKIA" web page on facebook freedom loving Iranians protested in front of Club NOKIA, and many more Iranians boycotted the concert.
I have always been a huge Mansour fan, I attend his last two concerts in Toronto, not to mention many of his CD's which I've bought. However by holding a concert as Club NOKIA Mansour has made it clear that he does not care about Iran and Iranians. He has held a concert at the expense of the blood of young Iranians who are fighting for freedom in Iran.
I for one will not forget this betrayal and will never attend another Mansour concert or buy another one of his CD's. I know many other Iranians feel the same, artists need to know that betrayal of the freedom movement in Iran will not be tolerated by Iranians abroad.
Down with the Islamic Regime in Iran
Long Live Freedom in Iran

We Should Be Allowed To Unlock Everything We Own: An anonymous reader writes "When cell phone unlocking became illegal last month, it set off a firestorm of debate over what rights people should have for phones they have legally purchased. But this is really just one facet of a much larger problem with property rights in general. 'Silicon permeates and powers almost everything we own. This is a property rights issue, and current copyright law gets it backwards, turning regular people — like students, researchers, and small business owners — into criminals. Fortune 500 telecom manufacturer Avaya, for example, is known for suing service companies, accusing them of violating copyright for simply using a password to log in to their phone systems. That's right: typing in a password is considered "reproducing copyrighted material." Manufacturers have systematically used copyright in this manner over the past 20 years to limit our access to information. Technology has moved too fast for copyright laws to keep pace, so corporations have been exploiting the lag to create information monopolies at our expense and for their profit. After years of extensions and so-called improvements, copyright has turned Mickey Mouse into a monster who can never die.' We need to win the fight for unlocking phones, and then keep pushing until we actually own the objects we own again."

I agree. I think that you should have to be a voting age american citizen to vote for the allstar team. No offense to yao but if he were spanish and pao gasol were chinese year would have made one or two allstar teams, Gasol would have made the starting lineup every year of his career. Or maybe instead of american citizens, you can only vote at the game. I can't stand to see T-mac starting over KG one more time.
I completely agree with that system.
It's BS that Grant Hill made the starting lineup his FIRST YEAR HEALTHY and nobody bats an eye. Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith just pretend that he "belongs" in there with the rest of the guys. Granted, he had a decent season... but not the best SF in the conference. Not by far. That sort of shiit needs to stop.

My Letter to HIV: A Letter From Ken Warnock
Dear HIV,
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how I've been doing. After all, it has now been 10 years and two months since we officially became married and I am well aware of what you have been up to for the past decade. I had met you in the late 80's when you were dating friends and patients of mine. I saw what a cruel lover you could be. How sadistic you are in turning the beauty of youth and life into an almost unrecognizable heap of refuse and discarded dreams. In fact, I remember the first time I had been introduced to you. You had begun dating a young man that was my age who served on the Admiral's staff on board the ship I was stationed aboard. I was introduced to you through the results of a vial of blood that I had most-likely drawn from this young Mess Specialist. If I did draw his blood that day, I may have flirted, just a little bit with him. You are not the jealous type though.
More effective than 10,000 gay-bashers is what I thought back in the 80's and 90's. Your presence threatened, not only the modest gains in civil rights that our nascent movement had achieved by the time we learned your name, but also, our very existence. People that you would see at Gay Pride one year were suddenly gone the next. You are the ultimate burning bed killer, literally and figuratively! You have hurt and killed more people than every gay-basher, homophobe, racist and bigot combined! That is an impressive, yet tragic, achievement. An achievement you lack the mental capacity to even realize.
We, apparently, started dating sometime after January of 1999. I know this because in January of that year, a simple test that I had taken showed that we were not intimate at that point. You are a sneaky little bastard. The cliché saying today is, "Well played, my friend, well played!" It is an apt cliché. A person lets their guard down and you slip in stealing the security and confidence from those you decide to touch. Yoda might say, "Hacker, ultimate, you are!" You hack into our immune systems and encrypt your insidious code into our cells stripping them of their ability to effectively respond when your friends, the OI's come to party.
I have seen news stories where some woman marries some guy she met who is currently on death row and I think that is pretty stupid. They aren't even going to be able to consummate the marriage and yet there is a minister and a nice little ceremony. We didn't even have that, unless you count the handsome doctor who told me of our already completed marriage ritual. Not even one of those quickie Las Vegas marriages where we could have decided to divorce after just a few hours. Damn you, you did not even ASK me to sign a pre-nuptial agreement and so here we are today. I cannot divorce you and even if I could you may still take everything. I use the word "may" because, although you are clever and evil, I am about as clever, if not more so, and within me there is a goodness that evil can never touch!
What I saw in your past lovers of the 80's and 90's is a sense of bravery and a sense of indignation. I saw courage and outrage. I saw determination and perseverance. I saw a community that came together and rose up. You are an abusive lover and I, as millions before me, bear the scars of your hate and bitterness. I am not bitter. I am better. You have seen that each time you have knocked me down that I have gotten up. I am stronger and braver. You cannot cower me! I will stand up for myself and for my friends. Our physical beauty may be diminished by your attempts at disfigurement but our inner beauty will always shine as a tribute to those who have been taken in your holocaust and as a beacon of hope to those who have been touched by your icy-hot fingers. One day, and I plan on living to see the day, you will be banished. Your crimes are well-documented and your punishment will be painful for you. One day, you will no longer be permitted to touch another person. You will not be able to seek refuge in the hapless body to wreak your havoc. You will not be able to do what it is you do best which is to try to create the worst.
Perhaps, I may not live to see that day. I want you to know, however, that I will not weep when you are gone. My doctors and I will work to make sure that if you are not dead before me that it is not you or your party-animal friends that do me in. We may be wedded together for the rest of my life, but we are estranged from each other. No. That is not quite true. While you really know nothing about me, I know a fair amount about you and I stalk you each and every day with medications and prayer and faith and love. These are things you know nothing about. You are too stupid to know fear and I almost feel bad for you because of that. Perhaps if you know what fear is like you could be a more compassionate lover. It makes no difference to me because I will go on.
Respectfully Yours,
Ken Warnock

|Introduction | Problem: Shaded/Unshaded Circles | Solution: Shaded/Unshaded Circles | Talking About the Problem | Representing Fractions with Rods | Other Denominators | Modeling Operations | Try It Yourself: Cuisenaire Rods | Problem Reflection | Summary | Your Journal
Rational numbers are a "ratio" of one value to another. It's common to think of a fraction as a statement of some number of parts of a particular whole. When working with fractions, it's helpful to think about how to define that "whole" so that various fractional parts can be seen on a common scale.
To help you visualize this, in this section you will learn to represent fractions with Cuisenaire Rods and then see how to use these rods to perform operations with fractions. As you do the problems, think about how you are approaching each problem, what difficulties you are encountering, and how you are communicating your thinking.
In order to represent fractions with these rods, you need to choose a rod to serve as a unit (in other words, to represent the whole, or the value "1"). The rule is that you must be able to represent the rod you choose with at least one single-color two-car "train" of the same length, built out of shorter rods (with no pieces left over). This allows you to use the rods to do computations with fractions.
For example, if you want to do computations with halves, the shortest rod you can use to represent "1" is red -- you can make a two-car one-color train out of white rods that is the same length as a red. In this case, each white rod represents a half:
The next-longest rod with a two-car one-color train is the purple rod; that rod also contains a red train and a white train:
The next longest rod to satisfy the requirement is the dark-green rod; it also contains a light-green train, a red train, and a white train. Note that the halves in this case are the light-green rods. If we name the dark-green rod 1, then the light-green rod is 1/2, the red rod is 1/3, and the white rod is 1/6.
In fact, we could show that every rod with a two-car one-color train also contains a red train. In order to represent halves using rods, the rod length must be divisible by two, which in our original Cuisenaire configuration is represented by the red rod.
