So here I sit along side my wife. It's 5:30am, on Sunday, we'd rather be sleeping, but can't. I've already documented how I get up early on weekends even though I don't need to. We decided that in order to stay "regular" with my employment and so on, I'll just go ahead and get up.
But today has me wondering. Our 2-year-old was in the bed, not wanting to get up at all on Thursday and Friday, and then Saturday comes along and BAM... 5:30 and she's up, and so are we. So what happens in this case? She doesn't have a job to worry about, in fact she went to bed after 9pm the night before (normally bedtime is 7-8pm). She should be sleeping in. WTF?!?
I think it may have something to do with the number of days you wake up for work/school and then you get to the weekend but before you can get that extra sleep in, it's Monday again. It's all I got to work with anyway.

Sweet or Sultry? How Do You Prefer Your Celebs? (PHOTOS)
While many celebrities can have their legal woes and other issues, the "sweet or sultry" we're talking about is more on the image side of things. Nowadays, with stars being under the microscope 24/7, it's easy for them to be able to adopt both personas when they need to. Got a red carpet event that you want to look fabulous and elegant for? No problem. Time for your concert and you want to really get provocative? Equally doable.
So, the real question is: Do you prefer your celebs sweet and nice, or naughty and on the sultry side? Check out the gallery and let us know in the poll!

Artist Statement: | I have been painting and illustrating professionally since 1995. I have made paintings all my life, but it wasn't until I graduated from college in my mid-twenties that I began to be a professional painter and illustrator. I studied at the University of Quebec in Canada (B.A. Degree in Graphic Design). My artworks are representational reflections of people, nature, or situations that have piqued my interest. Often the subject has thematic or narrative significance that references personal experience or dreams. Each images comes from a moment, and impression. My creation process consists of working in layers of acrylic paint and ink — the first layer being freely drawn monochromatically and laid down in anticipation of subsequent layers. My goal is to maintain cohesiveness throughout the composition and to create depth, luminosity, contrasts and textures with the paint. I'm also keenly interested in the way the eye moves around an image, the image is always build in a circular motion. In my paintings, I am exploring everyday objects, everyday scenes, and everyday nature: landscapes, flowers, birds, fishes, and simple objects. These subjects are shown from a different perspective and in a new light and by doing this I hope to show the magic of the simplicity around us. Since I enjoy painting a variety of subjects (landscapes, seascapes, still life, etc.), I cannot be categorized as merely a landscape, seascape, or still life artist, etc. The subject matter is always important. Making art is as breathing in that it keeps me living. It is the expression of my happiness, hope and wisdom. |
Education: | Upon graduating from University of Quebec in Montreal in 1994, I was a College Professor in Graphic Design for 10 years and Also a Depatment Chair of the Graphic Arts Department for 2 years. |
Professional/Teaching Experience: | Graphic Desigh Professor, College of Sherbrooke, Canada Department Chair Graphic Arts College of Sherbrooke, Canada |
Exhibitions: | D'Art Center at The Selden Arcade, Norfolk, Virginia Stockley Garden Art Festival, Norfolk, Virginia Boardwalk Art Show, Virginia Beach, Virginia |

Things I Want To Try
Hi! I've bee quiet, I know. I should start posting smaller posts as they come to mind, methinks.
Anyhoo, I had a craving for custardy, gooey, amazing profiteroles today and found a gluten-free recipe for them. I need to make them. I need to make them now.

@ tim... i admit my experience in this field is quite limited and i just tried to pull of an analogy. i appreciate your input about that issue, but its quite off it comes to the topic. or do you mean to say that if a publisher chooses to release something digitally only, the artist should be held responsible to cover their loss due to piracy?
dont get me wrong, im all for argueing about those issues, but it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
and i can see the motivation of defending someone you had good experiences with, but imo thats not at all the question here anymore. i actually lost interest in what jmanley did or did not and what hes responsible for or not. whats more alerting to me is the way this issue is handled. when an artist tries to claim what is to be his/hers, we start to talk about piracy, and how much harm is done by it? "well lets have a look.... theres 14k copies sold and probably alot more pirated... be happy if we dont ask you (the artist) for compensation!" WTF.

Recently during a conversation about fishing saltwater, the comment, Then you like deep sea fishing? was made. My answer was along these lines.
The few times Ive fished the deep, most have been on boats where the Captain and crew did most of the work, and we got to reel in the fish. For many catching is what its all about. But in my case the deep sea experiences left me with an empty feeling. The crew was fishing and I was just along for the ride. I know I dont wish to repeat those experiences. But Im sure there are other options, so I cant really say whether or not I like deep sea fishing.
Thinking about such conversations, I realize that, for me, fishing is more about the journey, not the destination. Theres no doubt that I love catching fish, and most times, the bigger the better. Yet, I know that if I get invited to fish where all I need to do is show up and catch big fish Ill most likely decline. Thats part of the reason I dont do well with many guides, I dont want to just catch fish, I want to fish.
Over my life Ive fished for many species, using a variety of tactics. Ill readily admit that each fishing method has its advantages, especially if youre out to maximize your catch rates and/or chances of landing a trophy class fish. Everyone should try fishing as many ways as possible, so they can appreciate the challenges, skills, and benefits of each method. That way you will find out what appeals to you most, be it sitting on bank waiting for a bite, wading a high mountains stream, trolling, tournaments, you name it. Try it, you might just like it.
Once you figure out what aspect of fishing appeals most to you, whether its everything, a single technique, or somewhere in between, enjoy fishing to its fullest. Just remember, whats right for you, may not be right for someone else. To me, one method is only superior to another if catching is you sole objective. Only the fish can tell you what's best.
We all travel different roads as we pass through life. For some the destination is important. In my case, anytime I get somewhere, Im quickly ready to hit the road again. Its the journey that I enjoy.

Since independence from the Netherlands in 1975 Suriname has endured coups and a civil war. Former military strongman Desi Bouterse dominated politics for much of the post-independence era but the country is now under civilian rule.
Suriname is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the Americas. Most of its people are descended from African slaves and Indian and Indonesian indentured servants brought over by the Dutch to work as agricultural labourers.
However there is little assimilation between the different ethnic groups which confine their contacts to the economic sphere. Similarly most political parties are ethnically based. This acts as an obstacle to consensus-building.
Suriname has potential for tourism boasting rainforests abundant wildlife and colonial architecture in the capital. But the sector is undeveloped hampered by the inaccessibility of the interior and the lack of infrastructure. So Suriname depends heavily on mining and processing its declining reserves of bauxite and is vulnerable to falls in commodity prices.
Suriname and neighbouring Guyana have been engaged in a long-running territorial dispute over a potentially oil-rich offshore area. A UN tribunal settled the issue in 2007 redrawing the maritime border and giving both countries access to the basin. The ruling is expected to bring a surge of exploration by major oil companies.
The issue flared up in 2000 when Surinamese patrol boats evicted a Canadian-owned rig from a concession awarded by Guyana.
President: Ronald Venetiaan
Ronald Venetiaan was re-elected in August 2005 by members of a regional assembly ending months of political deadlock.
Neither he nor his rival had received enough votes in parliament to become president. It was left to the regional body to decide the outcome.
Mr Venetiaan's New Front coalition returned the greatest number of MPs in May's parliamentary elections but not the majority it needed to govern. The poll was contested by the National Democratic Party of former dictator Desi Bouterse which doubled its representation.
This is Ronald Venetiaan's third stint as president. In 2000 he replaced Jules Wijdenbosch known as "Boschje" who oversaw a period of high public spending.
He inherited a devalued currency high inflation a collapsing health system and a bloated bureaucracy. Emergency measures were introduced to contain inflation and stabilise the exchange rate.
The government cut public spending and restructured the banana industry with the help of international loans.
In his first term from 1991-96 Mr Venetiaan ran an austerity programme which though unpopular left Suriname with a stable currency and a budget surplus.
The government generally respects freedom of expression and on the whole the state broadcast media offer a range of views.
The two daily newspapers are privately-owned. State-run broadcasters operate alongside private radio and TV stations.

When can I have a big server in the cloud?
I was at a conference recently talking with a Major Cloud Hosting Provider and mentioned that for database servers, I really want large instances, quite a bit larger than the largest I can get now. The lack of cloud servers with lots of memory, many fast cores, and fast I/O and network performance leads to premature sharding, which is costly. A large number of applications can currently run on a single real server, but would require sharding to run in any of the popular cloud providers' environments. And many of those applications aren't growing rapidly, so by the time they outgrow today's hardware we can pretty much count on simply upgrading and staying on a single machine.
The person I was talking to actually seemed to become angry at me, and basically called me an idiot. This person's opinion is that no one should be running on anything larger than 4GB of memory, and anyone who doesn't build their system to be sharded and massively horizontally scaled is clueless.
I've received similar push-back from a lot of cloud hosting providers. When I work through the math with clients, a lot of them don't like the ultimate price/performance ratio offered by cloud hosting. Hype doesn't drive everyone's business decisions, so a lot of people are wisely staying far away from cloud hosting for their applications, or even moving whole applications out of cloud hosting into real hardware to consolidate machines and save a lot of money. Some of them are using flash storage devices such as Fusion-io to further lower their TCO (this isn't the right answer for every app, though).
Why do cloud hosting providers work so hard to make everyone buy lots of anemic machines and shard their applications an order of magnitude more than is required? Why aren't they jumping to offer really beefy instances? I think there are a couple of simple reasons.
First, they want to colocate virtual machines and over-provision, just as airlines sell more tickets than there are seats in the plane. It's a numbers game: sell more capacity than you really have, and bet on some of the instances not using all resources allocated to them. Win! Of course, this is only possible with lots of small instances; the law of large numbers doesn't work without lots of instances, and large instances can't be colocated. Cloud providers tend to dislike dedicated instances, which leads to the second reason. They don't want to make strong claims about the availability of any particular machine. This is where the cloud paradigm of "you must build to recover from machines vanishing without warning" comes from. A dedicated beefy instance wouldn't let the hosting provider push that responsibility onto the application.
There are lots more reasons — all of them combining into one big overall "cloud application architecture best practice" — but I think those are two of the showstoppers.
I really think this is a wrong paradigm. People talk about the cloud being the technology of the future, but in many ways it's pretty stone-age compared to what smart system architects can achieve with high-quality hardware and networking at a much lower cost, with very strong guarantees of performance, consistency, and availability.
Cloud computing is new enough that we don't understand, in a collective sense, how to think about it. (I know that lots of individuals do, but as a whole, there isn't much of a shared understanding.) The real value proposition that I want to see emerge from cloud computing is pretty much orthogonal to what everyone's raving about these days. I want to see the DevOps engineering discipline build momentum around the idea that systems should be treated as services, with architectural components provisioned and controlled through APIs. That can be done completely independently of many of the characteristics of current cloud computing platforms (virtualization, ephemerality, horizontally scaled architectures…)
And like most people, I've got an ego and I don't appreciate repeatedly being called a moron by cloud computing providers' sales people, who don't know anything about running database servers. I can do math and understand price/performance, and I know the cost and difficulty of building a sharded application. I look forward to the day when I don't have to just bite my tongue and walk on to the next booth. I look forward to cloud hosting providers advancing to the year 2005 or so. I'm sure it will happen as we figure this all out.
Feel free to comment, but don't expect me to approve your comment if you're from a cloud provider and you're plugging your platform :)
19 Responses to 'When can I have a big server in the cloud?'
Neither IaaS nor PaaS will ever be a suitable platform for an application whose architecture is a large single instance, where latency between bits of the same application is important. Something like, for example, a financial institutions's main ledger.
So when architecting an environment for such an application, a lot of effort goes into assessing and PoC-ing, and even then the sizing can be knocked sideways by an application code drop.
However, there are plenty of cases where the workload is parallel and fungible, and *can* be deployed to a virtualised environment. And in many organisations an awful lot of their workload satisfies this (while significant and important parts don't). And at the same time, design choices made early in the application development cycle can radically change the eventual target environment.
A good architect will devise an appropriate environment for an application to run in, with the correct attributes.
It might help if you put some real numbers out there to let us know what you mean by "big". I've seen vendors with servers with 68.4 GB of memory. I think that would qualify as "big" for a lot of people. But then again, for other people that's definitely on the smaller end.
I think as another commenter, Dunstan, alluded to, there just aren't many requirements for large, collated systems. And when you're doing things that large, it is going to be cheaper to do it in-house (economies of scale and such).
You've taking quite a hostile stance towards cloud computing lately. Obviously, it's not a one-size fits all solution. However, the big appeal for cloud computing is two-fold: It's future-scalable and I Don't Have To Think About It. Both of these are great for new startups who have a basic idea but little capital and can't afford to roll out huge servers, and want to spend time and money on new development rather than administration. (As these startups mature their needs may change, and lock-in might be an issue but that's a separate discussion.)
The other benefit of cloud computing is that it supports the big-picture view of the internet as an distributed, interconnected service API for various data. When it comes down to it, we're really concerned about data, not software, and the prevalence of small sites, services, projects (often hosted on cloud or small dedicated servers) sharing specialized information with each other is what the web is all about.
So no, cloud hosting is not appropriate for things like financial records, medical records, data carriers, search engines, or the NSA. But most people aren't doing that stuff. Most people are making small, focused apps that someone will use as a service or integrate with some other, tangentially-related product. For example, my SVN hosting service automatically posts updates to my bug tracking service. I have another service that automatically syncs files between my computers–that's all it does.
A lot of these services have APIs and integrate with one another. The point of these apps isn't to create a huge product that does everything, nor to maintain complicated relationships and business logic that you'd find in a large organization like IBM or Google. The point is to create a small, focused app that does one thing really well. The APIs expose the data and allows users to create their own relations.
I think this notion of small, focused service providers is more organic, democratic, and entrepreneurial, and it's certainly very popular. With a few smart people you can make a great product, and you don't need the backing of an enterprise to do it–well, except for the one hosting your cloud services.
In the big-picture sense, I think this paradigm works well for startups and service providers. Obviously, it's also important to use the right tool for the job, and sometimes (perhaps most times) the cloud is not it. But as you've mentioned, it's novel technology, and we're still learning when and where the cloud is the right tool.
You don't even need to look at price/performance to see that Baron is right and the cloud is not for everyone. Even when you have a scalable system, single node performance matters. Perfectly linear scalability is exactly like 100% availability.
I am a a conference right now that had an entire day focused on clouds
Baron is right , I would not build out a db in a cloud at all with the current costs and performances available
We at Recorded Future are running on Amazon and we have very much this requirement. Assuming we would scale horizontally more than we do, and shard on, say, 4Gb servers, that would be close to impossible, it would just require too many servers. Even horizontal scaling does provide 100% scalability, which at some point you will not be able to add power just by running more instances? Anyone thinking that many 4G instances are what you need were probably involved when the 640K PC memory limit was introduced. How small can your servers be? Shoudl system be able to handle massive abount of Android phones? Or?
But in my mind, the #1 issue isn't CPU or memory limitations, which are there and are real, but I/O and network bandwith and instability.
Another issue is that so few database systems really are cloud enabled. Truly cloud enabled in the sense that servers can be added or removed at will, without downtime or application changes, and your needs change.
If I can dynamically add disks and expand my filesystems, why is it so difficult to seemlessly grow and shring database performance?
But it is.
What is the max IOPs you have seen MySQL do for InnoDB or MyISAM on real or bogus workloads? For my tests that might be CPU limited and were not run on new versions of InnoDB that support multiple buffer pool instances, I have not exceeded 40,000 IOPs for InnoDB and 80,000 for MyISAM, so I wonder how you can use hundreds of thousands of IOPs that some big servers provide via PCI-based flash.
Nice post, validates what I'm seeing too. It's mostly marketing smoke and mirrors.
The real trend here is consumers are moving from desktop applications to web applications thanks to the evolution of Javascript. Yes, "cloud computing" is a big trend.
Sure, Windows XP will go away eventually, no big revelation there. So that growth curve looks great, but now you have all this other junk (same old web hosting) clinging to the "cloud computing" magic carpet till the next buzzword comes along.
The cloud vs. hardware debate at one level sounds a bit like the religious wars between DBMS types (centralized, vertically scaled) and CORBA types (distributed, horizontally scaled) in the 1990s. My own experience has been that distributed systems that involve shared state are extremely hard to build, in part because you quickly run into some very difficult problems involving consensus. I doubt this will change anytime soon because it's based on fundamental math that is not going to change. A lot of the current NoSQL efforts will eventually end in tears or at least be boxed into limited corners for this reason.
Bandwidth problems like what we see with EC2 look like ephemeral issues. NFS didn't work so great for many years but is now robust and fast. I would expect cloud storage to follow the same trajectory. Some of the current performance problems just sound like a challenge to do better.
The cloud is an Infrastructure as a Service (IASS). If you plan on using the cloud as a means of instantly getting access to more H/W as your site grows you are severely mistaken.
While the cloud is ideal for certain workloads (I know of clients with 300+ always running instances) for the given model it is ideal to support spikes. However if you do not architect your application to support the strengths of cloud computing (aka. async processing, queuing, many smaller servers, unavailability etc) you are just going to observe pain as your application grows and scales.
There are many downsides including what you describe. The most critical is "virtualization" which creates unpredictable impacts especially around Disk I/O and network latency which is one of the most important considerations for a database.
As cloud providers improve you will find that virtual cloud options like Eucalyptus and Open Stack (disclaimer: I have used neither of these yet) that run on the larger dedicated H/W you seek will become more applicable for large databases on the cloud.
Next time – don't bite your tongue. Channel your inner Larry:
I think you just were a bit too harsh (in your wording).
The quick scaling is definitely something that the cloud delivers.
IMHO what "everyone is wrong about"(TM) is that cloud doesn't have to be EC2 like (virtualized).
I don't see a reason that (given the budget is available) I couldn't have a pool of hardware servers that will be dynamically reassigned to certain application depending on current needs. And that is where you'll win.
If you have 100 machines that always have a certain load level and 20 machines in the pool (yes I'm keeping the numbers on the lower level) then there's nothing to keep you from assigning the pool machines to either frontend servers or "magically" fire up database instances that will replace currently broken parts of a cluster or some other usage that is need "right now".
That won't quite apply to the classic RDBMS model. This is where just a few well sized machines are perfect. But the "kool new aid" (a.k.a. NoSQL – there I said it!) like Cassandra, scalaris and such will definitely benefit from this model.
Now multiply those numbers by 100 and find:
* time of usage spike (per application)
* level of max usage that is acceptable to youThat is the win of the what is marketed of the cloud. Of course one could also just say: "Yes we can (re-)deploy our server really fast and we have lots of spare hardware that fits our environment" instead of "cloud"
.oO(But yes I agree cloud providers want you to use a lot of numbers of small instances and that isn't always what's needed)
Please provide examples of anyone going from 20 to many more servers for Cassandra or HBase while using EC2. I doubt it is either quick or easy if they have a reasonable amount of data. It is even harder when they use local attached storage rather than EBS and I am skeptical about using EBS for either HBase or Cassandra. When local storage is used it can take some time to transfer data to new servers.
I think Teo Schlossnagle wrote an good article on this topic back in March 2010: http://omniti.com/seeds/2010/spring "The cloud is great. Stop the hype"

Come to meet new people and to learn about workshops, mentoring and additional resources available through MSP.
MSP is open to all students.
As you get ready for your arrival, there are some things that need your attention
Every student in the Class of 2017 MUST complete:
1. The Academic Integrity Tutorial
at moodle.haverford.edu/course/view.php?id=4574 under: Academic Integrity Tutorial (Class of 2017 and Transfer Students)

2."Lasting Choices: Protecting Our Campus From Sexual Assault" online course at: www.studentfyi.com
If you need to stop, you can log back in, and the course will resume where you left off.
We are so excited to meet you in less than 1 week!

Office of Academic Resources
Stokes Hall 118
Individualized Academic Coaching Sessions
Academic Enrichment Workshops, Seminars, and Group Discussions
Academic Review Centers Peer Tutoring Educational Technology Tools
The Office of Academic Resources (OAR) works with students in a variety of settings to propel them towards excellence in their academic pursuits through targeted goal-setting, skills identification and development, individualized coaching, and partnership with other resources on campus. The staff is committed to enhancing the academic experience of all students so that they are in a position to take full advantage of the many amazing opportunities available at Haverford and are poised to grow as confident and competent communicators, scholars, and community members.
Students can expect a highly individualized and comprehensive approach to their academic success when visiting the OAR. The staff meets students where they are and recognize that every Haverford student defines success and personal growth differently.
You can set up an individualized academic coaching session with an OAR staff member to help strengthen an array of personal skills and strategies associated with academic excellence, including:
Peer tutoring is also available and strongly recommended for students seeking one-on-one instruction from fellow Haverford students. This service is free and appointments can be made online.
Students are encouraged to take an active role in the ongoing development of the office by offering suggestions for workshops, discussion topics and speakers.
The Class of 2017 will also be the first class to take full advantage of the suite of technology tools being infused into the OAR. Students will be able to collaborate, learn, create and teach each other in creative new ways with the support of interactive touchscreen monitors, audio and web conferencing tools, collaborative working spaces, new software, and other tools.
Here's what Haverford students are saying about the OAR:
"The OAR has definitely helped me understand the components that go into being prepared for a reading-writing class other than the officially stated assignments. I am now able to take better notes on readings…and feel much more prepared for class and for writing assignments now."
"I think the personalized attention is the most important aspect, one of the best parts about going to Haverford is that the workshop was not one-size fits all, but focused on personal attention."
"The OAR is staffed by very nice people who clearly understand what they are talking about, and are very helpful in providing specific and general study advice."
"What I appreciate so much about the OAR is that they recognize that academic performance is so closely tied to a variety of other factors in a student's life. When I meet with the OAR, I'm not simply talking about my classes or my schedule, but also discussing life and the factors of being a student that can impede my ability to be academically efficient in the way that I want to be."
We are eager to enrich your transition to college.

Here is a blog you don't want to miss…..
Exhaustive packing lists are easily accessible online or at Bed, Bath & Beyond, but instead of giving you one of those, we thought it would be more helpful to highlight a few items that are more unique to Haverford.
Things to bring:
1) Fan – With the exception of medically cleared students, air conditioning is not provided in the dorms, and the rooms can get slightly uncomfortable during the first few weeks of school. A simple fan goes a long way toward keeping the rooms cool. If applicable, coordinate with roommates on this one!
2) Dorm Olympics colors – Dorm Olympics is one of the highlights of customs week as Barclay, Gummere and South campus (HCA and Tritton) battle it out for dorm pride. Be sure to have at the very least a shirt (that can get wet/dirty) in the color of your dorm. Barclay is blue, Gummere is green, and HCA and Tritton are red. Other articles of clothing, face paint and other props are also encouraged (although your customs teams will have plenty of paint for you regardless).
3) Quarters – While it is possible to put money on your Onecard to operate laundry machines, most students prefer to use quarters. There is a machine to get the quarters in the campus center, but it can be nice to arrive with a stash to get you through the first few loads.
4) Snow gear – Haverford is in the northeast, and it gets cold/snowy at points in first semester. This should not be much of an issue before fall break, but if you are not heading home for fall break, you may want to bring winter clothes, boots etc. to ensure you're well-prepared if bad weather occurs.
Further questions about what to bring should be directed toward your customs team. As you have already seen, they are incredibly eager to help and they have all lived through freshman year so take advantage of their knowledge!
We'll see all of you in less than two weeks!
We are so excited to welcome you, the newest additions to the Haverford community, when you arrive on campus for Customs in two weeks. But in the hopes that you feel like a Ford before you ever even move into your dorm room, we wanted to invite you to join our virtual communities, if you haven't already.
While you are probably already a member of the Class of 2017 Facebook group, don't forget to visit the College's own official page at www.facebook.com/haverfordcollege, and "like" us to receive our updates right in your feed. Our Facebook page is full of campus news, information, and photo galleries that can help you learn the lay of the land before your arrival. It's also a great place to ask questions that can be answered in a timely manner by members of the College's administration.
You can also follow Haverford on Twitter (@haverfordedu) for information about on-campus events and news, and to get practical alerts about life on campus (such as wireless service outages or campus construction warnings) sent right to your mobile device. Twitter is also a great way to connect with other incoming first-years and current students. Want to be on our ever-expanding list of current and former Ford followers? Tweet at us with the hashtag #haverfordfirstyear, and we'll add you.
And speaking of mobile devices: bookmark the TODAY section of our homepage for easy access to information you will need on the go. Our TODAY page offers important information like what's for lunch (or any other meal) at the Dining Center, local weather, and Bi-Co and Tri-Co transportation schedules that will help those of you who will take classes at Bryn Mawr or Swarthmore.
If Instagram is your preferred social media site, then you're in luck! The College just launched its Instagram this summer and we are hoping you'll help us fill it with pictures of your life here, including shots of College traditions and your favorite spots on campus. Just follow "haverfordedu" and be sure to tag your Haverford-related shots with the hashtag #HaverfordCollege.
We're always looking for tips on what you'd like to see on social media (or what you'd like to see less of), so please don't hesitate to be in touch with Rebecca Raber (email@example.com) in our Communications Office. If you'd like to take a more active role in helping to drive or create this content, Rebecca is looking for volunteers for a Social Media Student Advisory Group. More details will follow in the fall, but please reach out to her if you're interested in being a part of this new venture.
In the meantime, good luck with packing and safe travels! We're looking forward to seeing you here on campus soon and online even sooner!
In order to comply with the Immigration Reform Act we need to obtain certain information when hiring all employees, including students. In order for Haverford to assure that it complies with the regulations your help will be needed if you have a work grant or other job at Haverford.
In addition to providing a Social Security number and filling out the W-4 form, all newly hired employees will need to complete an I-9 form and present documentation as to your citizenship or eligibility to work in the United States. If you are a resident of Pennsylvania, you will have to fill out a Local Earned Income Tax Residency form. To facilitate this process we will have someone at non-academic registration to review the documentation and fill in the required forms. The required documentation consists of proof of identity and proof of employment eligibility. The following single documents are among those that satisfy both requirements:
US Passport
Certificate of United States Citizenship
Certificate of Naturalization
Unexpired foreign passport with attached employment authorization
Alien Registration Card
The requirements can also be met with a combination of one identification and one employment eligibility as follows:
Identity Employment Eligibility
Drivers license with picture Original Social Security Card
or other state issued ID card
School ID with photograph Birth Certificate
US Military Card Unexpired INS Employment Authorization
For most of you, the easiest combination will be driver's license and Social Security Card but you may use any approved documentation.
It is recommended that students sign up for Direct Deposit. To do this all we would need is a voided blank check and proper paperwork filled out.
If you need assistance contact Nancy Sunderland (email@example.com) in Student Payroll.
You can find job listings in the Career Development Office Board. Below are some current openings:

Chad Renfro was Barry University's second-leading scorer last season.
And like a lot of Florida natives—he's from Jacksonville—the junior guard enjoys surfing.
He may be rethinking that hobby after his run-in with a shark last week while visiting his parents in Jacksonville.
"I just got a wave and I was paddling back out and I felt a shark clamp on my foot," Renfro told WSVN-TV in Miami.
The result: Renfro received 85 stitches after a bull or lemon shark got hold of his foot and tore a tendon.
"It wasn't as bad as losing your whole foot," Renfro told WSVN.
He's expected to make a full recovery, return to basketball and surfing.
Renfro averaged 11.6 points per game last season for the Division II school in Miami Shores. The Bucs finished 12-17.

The 2012 Leadership Book Awards
We highly recommend these titles as you strive to develop your leadership gifts.
Each year seems to have more and more tasks with less and less time to accomplish them. All too often important but non-urgent activities like reading get put aside—and then abandoned altogether. But each year there are a handful of books that are just too good to miss. That's why we do The Leadership Book Awards. We know you're busy. That's why we comb through stacks of titles, and enlist the help of our contributing editors, to determine which few titles are worth your valuable time. We trust this year's winners will nurture your soul while equipping you for more effective ministry.

[Spirulina Gomasio] I'm always happy to try new and intriguing food. It's a hit-or-miss kind of habit and I have on occasion bought things that turned out to be nasty (in that ugh-nasty-nasty-bleh-spit-spit kind of way), but it's all in the name of science and research, yes?

Medical education serves many goals, and all of them are difficult to measure. For that reason, assertions that one medical school or residency program is better than another may have many different meanings. Nevertheless, most stakeholders, including prospective trainees, health systems, and patients, could be justified in expecting that graduates of good training programs generally take care of patients well, and that graduates of better training programs generally take care of patients better. The evaluation of medical education programs ought to keep this goal in sight.
