Streep nominated for Golden Globe
As expected, Meryl was nominated for a Golden Globe this morning for her leading role in August: Osage County. This comes one day after her nomination from the Screen Actors Guild. These are essentially the two biggest precursor award to the Oscars. It'll be interesting to see if Meryl gets a BAFTA nomination in a few weeks but I'm not holding my breath on that one. Here's the list of Lead Actress nominees in both categories. No major surprises, with the possible exception of no Adèle Exarchopoulos. And no Oprah in supporting?! Snap.
1. Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine)
2. Sandra Bullock (Gravity)
3. Judi Dench (Philomena)
4. Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks)
5. Kate Winslet (Labor Day)
1. Amy Adams (America Hustle)
2. Julie Delpy (Before Midnight)
3. Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha)
4. Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Enough Said)
5. Meryl Streep (August: Osage County)

I am pleased with this, I see Amy Adams as her biggest threat but I will wait to hear your opinion on American Hustle Jeff before I think more about it.
With her (all but guaranteed) nomination for Into The Woods next year she is so close to 30 in total! :)
Bafta have been showing Meryl a lot of love since 2002. I know there was a 17 year gap when they didn't include her but some of those films were ineligible anyway as they weren't released in the UK.
Plus she holds the record for most film nominations at 14. I think if they don't get too caught up on including Brits on the list then Meryl stands a good chance of getting in.
From what I can tell no one is particularly interested in Labor Day here but there has been minimal coverage of Winslet having her baby in our press.
Jeff December 12, 2013 at 11:45 AM
I think it'll be tough for Meryl to win this, but it's her best chance in any televised award show. Right now I'd probably pick Adams. I'll be seeing AH within the next two weeks. BAFTA I think is a long shot for Meryl. If she gets that nod, I say next to impossible she's snubbed by AMPAS. Don't think Kate Winslet it happening at Oscar. Dench seems solid.
CJames December 12, 2013 at 12:32 PM
I am not sure how Bafta works because Doubt hadn't been released here before she was nominated. I imagine she will be eligible for the vote anyway since August will be coming here in February I believe.
I agree, it is tougher than it seems since Adams too is going into Comedy and I don't think she has ever won a globe before as well. They may feel Meryl has won enough times for the time being (5 in 10 years).
Who knows, they could surprise us.
It will be a relief to see the Academy continue to nominate her, they tend to lose interest in people at times, especially since they finally gave M her long overdue third recently.
Out of interest, is the role of The Witch a potentially baity role or more of a crowd pleaser? I know very little of the musical
Jeff December 12, 2013 at 1:08 PM
I think a film has to be shown in the UK in the calendar year for it to qualify no? Maybe the dates are a little different. Regardless, I don't expect Meryl to be nominated there.
I've seen the filmed stage performance of Into the Woods with the original Broadway cast on Netflix instant several times. The role of the Witch is probably the most baity, with the Baker's Wife probably considered a lead as well. Bernadette Peters was nominated for a Drama Desk award for it, and the Witch is considered lead with revivals of the play when nominated. Considering Meryl has a new song for her (possible Grammy and Oscar nominations for it), I imagine that if they are going to place her in a category, it will be lead. It's too early to tell if it'll create Oscar buzz, but considering it's Meryl and it's a big name director/cast/budget...how can it not?
JMLA December 12, 2013 at 5:59 PM
Joanna Gleason won the Tony for lead as the Bakers Wife. I have to say its a better role, at least as originally penned.
CJames December 13, 2013 at 5:30 AM
Yes but on the downside you have to be married to James Corden ;)
Meryl received a critics choice nomination this morning as August took 4 nominations including a supporting actress one for Julia Roberts. Looking good so far for Oscar bids
This indeed does bode well for Meryl's chances at Oscar nomination. With no Adams in the top six, and the fact that I imagine too few Academy members will see Short Term 12, it's looking like the consensus five are strong.
CJames December 16, 2013 at 4:36 PM
I can't believe she hasn't won anything yet, the last time she won nothing for an Oscar-nominated role was Music of the Heart!
Well, like in 1999 she's got 1-2 performances ahead of her getting pretty dominating recognition. Hilary Swank in 1999 and Cate Blanchett this year. Doesn't help that Meryl won so many things two years ago.
Jansen Lim December 17, 2013 at 2:35 AM
Much as I love Meryl, this is Cate Blanchett's year (whom I also adore equally if not more). I've watched both performances and I must say I prefer Cate's. Somehow, Meryl seems a little over-the-top like her performance in Doubt.
As was pointed out several posts ago, Meryl has stated that she sees this character as a theatrical and over-the-top persona and she incorporated elements of that into her performance. And her Sister Alolysius was incredible actually.
I too have seen Blanchett and she is worthy this year, although I felt Dench packed a bigger punch for me. I am jealous of all those who have seen August so far, we have nothing in the UK yet!
Jeff December 17, 2013 at 12:25 PM
This is absolutely Cate's year. I'm a big fan of her's as well and will be happy for her if/when she takes home Oscar. I just hope Streep is nominated.
In regard to her performance in A:OC, Streep has said in interviews that she felt she had to over the top to capture this woman who is described as an actress and whose histrionics are described in the script as "the shrill insanity of your mother." Meryl said a role like that "you can't really underplay."
I don't know...I mean the character can be theatrical but when I saw August, I had the sense of deja vu of watching Doubt. It's one thing to be theatrical, it's another to be hammy. Don't get me wrong, Meryl gave a good performance but it's just not the same feeling I got when I saw Cate in Blue Jasmine. Somehow I get the feeling that Cate's performance will be construed in the same genre of greatness similar to Meryl's Sophie Choice or Bette Davis' All About Eve. As for Dench, I thought her Notes on a Scandal performance was way more profound than her latest work.
She deserves it, soooo talented, nice post :) Another great site for skin lightening is at skin whitening, just thought people may be interested.

500.A15A4 Steering Committee/572
The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Switzerland (Bigelow)
Washington, August 18, 1937.
Sir: You are requested to transmit to the Secretary General of the League of Nations, in his capacity as Secretary General of the Conference for the Reduction and Limitation of Armaments, the following note in reply to his note of June 19, 1937:44
"The receipt is acknowledged of your note, dated June 19, 1937, forwarding a copy of the Resolution adopted by the Bureau of the Conference for the Reduction and Limitation of Armaments on May 31, 1937, and requesting to be informed before September 1, 1937, whether the Government of the United States of America is prepared, in principle, to accept a system of publicity of national defense expenditure based on the Draft Convention prepared by the Technical Committee of the National Defense Expenditure Commission of the Conference for the Reduction and Limitation of Armaments.
"In reply the Government of the United States of America, while reserving its position in full with regard to the Draft Convention referred to above, is prepared to renew its acceptance of the actual principle of budgetary publicity and to accept as a basis of discussion a system of publicity of national defense expenditure in accord with the principles enumerated in the aforementioned Draft Convention.
"In accepting the principle of publicity for national defense expenditure, the American Government wishes to make two observations.
"(1) It has been the consistent practice of the American Government to publish the particulars of all expenditures made for national defense and, in addition, it has furnished each year complete statistics for publication in the Armaments Tear Book of the League of Nations. Expenditures made by the American Government for armaments are open to public scrutiny; the principle of budgetary publicity is in practice applied by the United States.
"(2) The United States reiterates its firm understanding that any agreement which may result with regard to one phase of the comprehensive problem of disarmament must be regarded as a complementary measure, a corollary, to a direct general reduction of armaments. The increasing burden of armaments, due to a failure on the part of nations directly concerned to find a solution of questions of a political [Page 23] or economic nature, makes the need for a reduction of armaments more than ever imperative, and my Government believes that the day must soon come when the Governments of the world can, and must, make another move forward in the direction of a limitation and reduction of armaments. In the meantime, pending a solution of basic economic and political problems, and until the moment when the efforts of the nations of the world to reach a general settlement of the armaments problem may be crowned with success, it is the view of the American Government that partial agreements should be approached with caution and only upon assurance that they would not accentuate existing differences of points of view and that all countries would be willing, ultimately, to accept their provisions."
For the Secretary of State:
Sumner Welles

In the course of the discussion between Mr. Ciopraga, Secretary General of the PS IGC TRACECA, and Mr. Zhu Xiangyang, President of "Lianyungang Port Group" company, it was noted that in the region of TRACECA there are large trade markets.
Investment cooperation has a big potential. It is reasonable to consider an adequate trade scheme aimed at elimination of barriers and reduction of costs.
The port of Lianyungang has advantageous geographic location – it is connected by railway with big Chinese cities and has maritime connection with the Korean port of Pusan and Japanese port of Osaka.
The involvement of China, as well as of Korea and Japan through Kazakhstan as the MLA TRACECA member state in the transport logistic chain of the whole corridor will make it possible to expand the development area of the region Europe-the Caucasus-Asia and to improve transport communication.
The Parties also noted that by the end of 2015 the volume of export and transit traffic via the Kazakhstan logistic terminal will achieve 250 thousand TEU (Twenty-Foot equivalent unit). In five years it is planned to double this figure. The cost of the project is USD 99,3 million.

Preparing to Plow Through The Next Recession
How one company survived the Great Recession, and advice on how to prepare for the next downturn.
With an economic slowdown looming—even if no one knows exactly when it will occur or how severe it will be—companies must prepare for the worst. It doesn't get much worse than the slump Caterpillar Inc. experienced in 2009, when sales and revenue plummeted. But the company remained profitable and maintained its dividend. How did Caterpillar achieve its remarkable performance?
Recession planning was the focus of a recent NeuGroup meeting, where Ed Scott, senior executive advisor at NeuGroup and retired treasurer at Caterpillar, discussed the global company's recovery methodology. He also noted some questions for treasury executives to ponder before the storm hits:
What approach is your company taking to prepare for a possible recession?
What are your company's critical success factors that must be protected?
What levers/workstreams are necessary to protect those factors?
What is treasury's role in the company in planning for and fighting a recession?
During the Great Recession, Caterpillar's sales fell 37% and its profit dropped to $895 million from $3.6 billion. The company took a $3.4 billion charge to equity, and debt as a percentage of debt and equity soared to 59.7%, well above the company's preferred maximum of 45%.
Caterpillar's single-A rating, necessary to fund its captive finance company, was in jeopardy. So the company pursued the MAST methodology, which Mr. Scott said can be applied to virtually any significant project or initiative:
Meaning. Why take action? For Caterpillar, it was to remain profitable, avoid cutting its dividend, and protect its rating.
Action. Establish workstreams, which in Caterpillar's case numbered 10 and included reducing inventory, closely monitoring the financial health of critical dealers and suppliers, aggressively pursuing collections and increasing liquidity as needed. Mr. Scott noted that each workstream had a designated owner.
Structure. The cadence to make sure the plan is carried. Caterpillar's CFO, treasurer and controller met every Friday at 6:30 a.m. with all the workstream leaders to review and document progress over the last week and discuss the week ahead. "Why so early? Because nobody has a meeting at that time, so everybody had to show up," Mr. Scott said.
Truth. Metrics for each workstream were key to tracking progress and eventual success. "It's very important to define the critical success factors and the metrics to achieve that," Mr. Scott said.
In terms of preparing for a recession, Mr. Scott said, analyzing how much sales will likely drop, or trough planning, is key, and pressure testing is also important. "Think about what the company could do if it had a 20% or 30% drop in sales," he said.

Mazda is Bringing Back the Rotary Engine
Chris Haak/02 Oct, 18/1415/0
Mazda Motor Corp. is bringing back the rotary engine by 2030! Mazda was the first automaker to market rotary engines in 1967 in the Cosmo Sport/Mazda S110. It also happened to be basically the only one to stick with the technology, despite challenges with fuel economy, oil consumption, and emissions. Mazda sold its last rotary-engined production car, the RX-8, in 2012, but has hinted over the past few years that we might see another rotary-engined Mazda in the future.
The future isn't now; it's still in the future. At least we have some more specifics, though. Mazda announced that there will be a small rotary engine employed as a range extender to power a hybrid vehicle. The company has met ever-stricter emissions requirements by wringing every last bit of efficiency from traditional internal-combustion engines, but that push will only take the company to a certain point. Electrification is necessary, and is happening.
EV with Rotary Range Extender Coming in 2030!
By 2030 when we see the return of the rotary engine, Mazda will have electrified its entire lineup. Electrification will take many forms, including pure EVs, hybrids, and EVs with range extenders. EVs are a decent fit in cities or in countries where there are not great distances between destinations. In North America, that is not the case, which necessitates either leaps in battery technology or range extenders.
Mazda feels that employing a rotary engine for range-extender duty in an EV fits the quirky engine's advantages very well. For one, rotaries are very, very compact – always a critical consideration in packaging something that may only rarely be used. They are also fairly quiet, and are power-dense. One rotary disadvantage is a lack of torque – but if it's only turning a generator, that's no longer an issue. Rotary engines are fairly thirsty, and Mazda has had trouble cleaning their emissions, but with occasional use, a tiny engine, and light duty applications should be fine. What's more, the range-extending rotary engine will run on cleaner LPG, not just gasoline.
Mazda Hinted at EVs with Rotary Range Extenders Back in 2013
The company previewed this thinking with a 2013 Mazda2 hatchback with an electric motor and a small 0.33-liter range extender. They called the car the RE Range Extender, which stands for Rotary Engine Range Extender. I suppose they didn't like the name RERE. Car and Driver summarized this special Mazda2 in December 2013:
Mazda is conducting an engineering study with a prototype model it calls the 2 RE Range Extender. It's based on the brand's Japanese-market limited-lease 2 EV, but has a 38-hp, 333-cc rotary engine—and a 2.6-gallon fuel tank—mounted beneath the trunk, which spins a generator via a belt. This provides electricity for the lithium-ion battery housed beneath the floor, which supplies juice for the 101-hp electric motor powering the front wheels. Mazda says that upgrading its EV with the range-extending equipment should up range from 120 miles to more than 200.
Mazda says that it opted to use a rotary in this application because of the engine's quietness, lack of vibration, and compact size. Of course, there's also the nostalgic "Historical Mazda brand equity" of the rotary.
I, for one, am happy to see Mazda returning to its roots, while retaining as much independent engineering as possible. The company is also in a partnership with Toyota Motor Corp. and Denso Corp. in an EV joint venture called EV Common Architecture Spirit Co. The venture will cooperate to develop architecture and components to use in various segments, from minicars to light trucks. Mazda will sell a mild hybrid in 2019, an EV in 2020, and a plug-in hybrid in 2021. Products resulting from the JV will appear sometime after 2020.

jwz: Delaunay Tesselations of Pretty Girls.
How does one take the first derivative of an image to choose control points?
Take a color component (say, luminance) and think of that as height. First derivative gives you a map of the "slope" between adjacent pixels, that is, how much the values differ. You get higher values where there is more complexity in the image, lower values where colors change slowly. So you lay down more control points in the "brighter" (noisier) parts of the derivative image, and space them farther apart in the "darker" (smoother) parts.
I first ran into Delaunay a few years back when I was projecting weather data. Probably the most interesting job I ever had, code-wise.
Makes me think of the Twitter image compression contest from a few months back. One of the entries did a Voronoi tesselation of the image.

Why Your Cruise Hasn't Been Cancelled Yet
Thousands of passengers feel as if they are trapped in limbo as they await word on whether or not their upcoming cruises are going to be canceled.
So why are cruise lines waiting so long to officially cancel voyages which are obviously not going to be sailing?
Cruisers Are Playing The Waiting Game
Dive into the social media feed of the major cruise lines, and you'll see one question come up repeatedly: "When are you going to cancel my cruise?" You'll also sense the frustration of those who are certain their trip will be canceled despite cruise lines holding out hope that the ships might still sail.
This is particularly true of Norwegian Cruise Line guests. While their main competitors have canceled all sailings until June, Norwegian's website and Twitter feed continue to insist that they "plan to recommence operations beginning on May 15, 2020." The only way that will happen if the CDC rescinds their "No Sail Order" by mid-May.
READ MORE: CDC Details What Cruise Lines Must Do To Sail Again
Some travel advisors are as frustrated as their clients. "It's pretty clear that ships aren't going to be sailing in May," admitted one agent we spoke to. "Even sailings in July and August are up in the air, given everything going on. My phone is ringing off the hook with people wanting to know whether they'll be sailing and, unfortunately, there's not much we can tell them."
Yet instead of announcing the cancellation of May sailings, the line has touted changes to their dining plan and renamed a stateroom category. Norwegian's "Peace Of Mind" policy does allow guests booked on any sailing between now and September 30 to cancel (and receive a Future Cruise Credit).
However, it is important that the cruise lines cancel so that other aspects of their vacation (such as airfare and hotel) are covered by their travel insurance.
Equally important for some, a 100% refund, especially for close-in sailings, isn't on the table unless the cruise line cancels the voyage.
In lieu of refunds, those on canceled cruises have the option of choosing other incentives, such as onboard spending to be used on their next sailing and Future Cruise Credits of 150% and more.
Why Cruise Lines Are Hesitating
There are numerous reasons that the cruise lines are pausing before hitting the "cancel" button, many of them financial.
Obviously, whenever they cancel a sailing, a percentage of would-have-been cruisers opt for a refund as opposed to a Future Cruise Credit, and that comes directly from the ever-decreasing liquidity of the companies.

The longer they can hold onto that money — and earn interest on it — the better, especially with virtually no revenue coming in.
"If the cruise lines canceled all sailings through late July," one financial analyst told Cruise Radio, "they would be hemorrhaging millions of dollars of much-needed cash to stay alive. Cash is their life support at the moment."

Even those who do ask for a refund are finding themselves having to wait in line to be paid. Not surprisingly, that line is getting longer every day.
In responding to passenger inquiries about refunds, Norwegian's Twitter feed (@cruisenorwegian) has responded by saying: "Due to the volume because of canceled sailings, these can take up to 90 days. Please note we are trying everything we can to process these refunds as soon as possible."
Similarly, a Carnival Cruise Line rep told Cruise Radio, "Nearly one million Carnival guests have been impacted by this extended pause in cruising, which dwarfs any disruption we've experienced in even the worst hurricane season. We continue to take refund requests as quickly as we can."
How Alaska Cruises Are Being Impacted
Sawyer Glacier in Alaska
Another bone of contention involves cruisers to ports that are temporarily banning ships. This is proving particularly problematic for those booked on Canada/New England sailings or Alaska voyages.
Currently, Canada has said they will not allow cruise ships to dock between now and July 1, and yet several lines with Canadian-bound itineraries have not yet canceled sailings.
Canada has become a crucial port thanks to the fact that ships leaving from an American port must visit at least one foreign port.
Thus, most trips centered around New England and Alaska visit Canada to fulfill that legal requirement.
Further adding to the uncertainty is Seattle — from which many Alaskan cruises depart — is currently shut down "until further notice."
Holland America and Princess have already deeply reduced capacity in the Alaska region for 2020, and Norwegian Cruise Line has canceled the Norwegian Sun's entire Alaska season, saying that they have "reduced rates" available on other ships doing regional itineraries.
But this still leaves many cruisers uncertain as to whether or not they'll be enjoying a vacation this summer, or singing the "We Got Cancelled" blues.

The speed at which consumers have adopted mobile digital platforms is testimony to how highly they prize the convenience of mobile apps. But just as the advent of supermarkets made shopping easier by bringing different types of grocery produce, clothing, hardware and more under one roof, apps that offer only one type of product and service could be missing a trick.
Take WeChat, China's 'super app,' that lets users do everything from mobile banking to social networking, booking taxis or a doctor's appointment, find a date, order food and lots more.
Since its launch in 2011, its growth has boomed to over 1 billion monthly active users in 2018 and much of this success is due to it integrating different types of digital distribution channels, through third-party application programming interfaces (APIs), into what started as a simple messaging service.
This API utilisation is not a fad. In its report, Competing in a World of Sectors Without Borders, McKinsey predicts 30% of world revenue will be generated through open API-enabled channels by 2025.
Over the past year, open banking has become a reality and has led to a proliferation of financial services-themed integrations and features being offered as part of mobile banking apps. These are usually smart spending services or interactive charts – Volt is one of them – but there is a huge and potentially lucrative opportunity just waiting in the wings, namely that the products and services on offer via the mobile channel needn't be limited to financial products and services alone.
With open APIs, integrating lifestyle products and services into a mobile banking app is now eminently possible. Tinkoff Bank in Russia is an example of an institution that has injected a dose of lifestyle consumerism into its offerings. Its 8 million customers have access to a 'financial ecosystem' that offers a full range of lifestyle services, as well as financial ones, via its mobile app and web interface.
Users can plan visits, buy tickets or make reservations for concerts, cinemas, restaurants and theatres from within its mobile app, as well as receiving promotional bonuses, all of which is helping to create a positive perception towards what historically has been regarded as dry.
In these examples set by Tinkoff and WeChat, it is the ability for third party businesses to access open APIs that creates the opportunity for banks and FinServs to become more consumer-friendly and provide a more holistic experience that is not limited to finance.
From the ability to offer mobile tickets for events and transport to pushing out personalised recommendations and voucher offers that drive loyalty and increase customer satisfaction, banks and FinServs need to start considering how to go about generating additional revenue streams and creating new value by investing in this mobile distribution channel.
Open banking and the opportunity to integrate with third-party open APIs is allowing financial institutions to grow beyond the scope of their traditional offering and participate in other digital marketplaces without having to develop these capabilities themselves.
In the case of offering tickets to events and theatre shows, API integration makes it easy to partner with an existing mobile ticketing technology provider, which is already set up with everything needed to handle secure ticketing fulfilment plus the back-engine capability to provide data insights into customer preferences.
Data is the underlying asset in this equation and over time, a banking app can become a valuable data-driven marketing communications channel for sharing tailored, personalised promotions direct with the mobile account holder.
Personalisation is becoming an ever more important part of the customer experience but it must be done to a depth that makes it worthwhile for the customer. One survey found that being addressed by their first name would only encourage 8 percent of respondents to engage, and when it came to replying to a birthday email, only 7% said they would.
But with intelligent use of data drawn from mobile app interactions, it's possible to offer relevant and timely experiences that result in more frequent interactions, the opportunity for up- and cross-selling and ultimately happier, more loyal long-term customers.
Banks and FinServe companies are traditionally conservative and so opening up to this new opportunity can prove easier said than done. In the UK, we are helped by regulatory push which has extended the deadline for being ready for open API implementation to September 2019.
One way to approach this new world is to look for an experienced third party mobile service provider which uses open APIs and partner with them from the get-go to test integration and perform some marketing trials.
Mobile ticketing is already changing the way consumers interact with brands, which are using behavioural data to inform the basis of relevant and timely voucher promotions for anything from a sixth coffee free voucher at a café next to a train station to travel pricing discounts or VIP bonuses at entertainment events. The personalisation that becomes possible from data analysis improves satisfaction levels and customer loyalty.
So, if you're considering expanding the retail scope of a mobile banking app beyond financial products and services, some good advice would be to partner with an existing mobile ticketing provider. Look for one with with proven technology that creates secure tickets by natively generating them from with the mobile operating system, and that has a robust digital platform already in place to perform the data analysis that will ensure your app is always relevant to your customers.

He's catching waves for Molly
Patrick Cronin
HAMPTON — With the words "Good Luck Ralph" carved out on the sand, a determined Ralph Fatello walked into the Atlantic Ocean Monday morning at North Beach and caught the first wave of what he hopes is 365 of them — one each day for the next year.
Fatello, the commander of American Legion Post 35, is planning to surf each day for the next 12 months as a fund-raiser to aid those with cancer and in memory of Molly Rowlee, a 5-year-old girl from Hampton who "touched his soul."
Rowlee lost her battle to cancer on July 12, 2009.
More than a dozen local kids with their surfboards joined in the action while shouting in the water "Go Ralph. Go Ralph Go."
An unexpected visitor even made an appearance as a baby seal was spotted popping its head out the water.
After a brief wait for a wave to come, Fatello paddled and caught his first wave — a small one but a wave nevertheless.
"364 more to go," Fatello said afterwards.
Prior to hitting the water, Fatello said a few words to more than three dozen friends and family who came out to support him.
"Today is all about faith, hope and love," Fatello said. "It's about Molly and the memory of all those we lost to cancer."
All proceeds raised throughout the year, he said, will go toward the Molly Fund.
The fund, established by her parents, Buck and Meighan, helps other families endure the financial strain while they are helping their child battle cancer.
Buck and Meighan along with their 5-year-old son, Kieran, were some of many who came out to support Fatello.
It's been a year since Molly lost her battle to with anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
"Meighan and I are truly honored that Ralph wants to take on this super human challenge of surfing 365 consecutive days," Buck said. "Not only in honor of Molly but all of our friends and loved ones we lost to cancer and those who are battling cancer."
A surfer himself, Buck said he knows what a big undertaking this is.
"We know what a challenge it's going to be because we live here," Buck said. "And while there are many of us who would want nothing more than to surf every day of our lives, there are days when it's not humanly possible. Ralph is going to have to find a way."
Fatello said this is a way for him to not only honor Molly but other loved ones he has known who died from the disease.
He lost his best friend, Joe Somogyi, to cancer in 1978. His mother, Eva, died of cancer in 2007 and a good friend, Linda Paugh, who was one of the owners of Zapstix Surf Shop, on Dec. 6, 2009.
"Every one of use here as been affected by cancer in some way or another," Fatello said.
It's also a chance, he said, to put a spotlight on the strong surfing community that exists at North Beach.
Fatello said Molly's death impacted the local surf community, which rallied after she was diagnosed to raise money for her and her family.
Fatello said he knows it's going to be a challenge. He did it 10 years ago to raise money for diabetes in memory of his father, Gus, who died of complications from the disease in 2000.
Last time around, he surfed through the flu, a broken tailbone and recurring back injuries, not to mention snowstorms, ice floating in the ocean, and hail "that felt like a fire hose in my face."
"I hope that the warmth of this July sun and the warmth from all the love and support we all have for each other sustains me on the cold weather days of winter," Fatello said.
He won't have to look too far for inspiration. A special black long board he had made up for year-long journey bears the name of Molly, his mother and others who lost their battle with cancer.

women league teams: Five IPL franchises keen to buy women's league teams
By Anindita Das On Jan 5, 2023
(This story originally appeared in on Jan 05, 2023)
MUMBAI: A day after the BCCI invited bids to own and operate IPL teams in the inaugural five-team Women's Indian Premier League (WIPL), scheduled for March this year, five of the 10 IPL franchises confirmed to TOI that they are "very keen" on buying a team in the league.
Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings are all interested in investing in a team in WIPL. CSK have already started the process of buying the ITT document.
"We've applied to buy the bid document. Now we'll have to find out about the economics of it. We are interested. If CSK doesn't have a women's team, it may not look good. We'd like to promote women's cricket," CSK CEO Kashi Viswanathan told TOI.

Massive crowds for India-Oz T20 series triggered interest
"We are picking the bid document," confirmed Rajasthan Royals chairman Ranjit Barthakur.
According to a source, the BCCI has not set a base price for buying a team. "It seems BCCI has not kept a base price to buy a team in WIPL, which is a wise decision. If you keep a very high base price, you will scare off potential investors," a source told TOI.
"I think everyone is smart enough n ot to want to lose money. They may not mind some loss, but not heavy losses. If the base price is, say Rs 400 crores, teams would lose Rs 50-80 crores per year, and I can't imagine anyone having the appetite for that," said a source.

What seems to have triggered the interest of the IPL franchisees and potential investors in WIPL is the massive turnout in Mumbai for the India-Australia T20I series in December — a record 47,000 fans turned up for the second game at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.
In addition, the inaugural ICC Women's Under-19 World Cup, which will kick off on January 14, followed by the Women's T20 World Cup in February, will build fans' appetite for quality women's cricket, besides providing team s with plenty of players to pick for their teams.

The opening season of WIPL is likely to be played from the first week of March to the end of the month, before the IPL kicks off. It will have five teams.
There's a possibility that the entire league will be played in Mumbai, which has three world-class grounds — Wankhede Stadium, DY Patil Stadium and Brabourne Stadium — but this could not be confirmed.

The Getty Foundation fulfills the philanthropic mission of the Getty Trust by supporting individuals and institutions committed to advancing the greater understanding and preservation of the visual arts in Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through strategic grant initiatives, it strengthens art history as a global discipline, promotes the interdisciplinary practice of conservation, increases access to museum and archival collections, and develops current and future leaders in the visual arts. It carries out its work in collaboration with the other Getty Programs to ensure that they individually and collectively achieve maximum effect.
The Getty Foundation (initially called the Getty Grant Program) was established in 1984 in the belief that philanthropy is a key ingredient in carrying out the mission of the J. Paul Getty Trust. The Getty Trust is an international cultural organization that includes the Getty Conservation Institute, Getty Foundation, Getty Research Institute, and J. Paul Getty Museum. Drawing on its unique position as a grant-making entity within the larger Getty Trust, it utilizes the expertise of all the Getty programs as well as colleagues in its fields to identify areas where grants can make a difference.
Since its inception, the Foundation's signature grant programs have made art history more interdisciplinary and international; created models for the practice of conservation emphasizing the importance of planning and training; increased access to museum and archival collections, most recently in digital form; and nurtured a generation of new leaders in the visual arts. To date, the Foundation has developed, assessed, awarded, and monitored over 7,000 grants in more than 180 countries.
The Getty has been the only major foundation that supports art history and conservation on a fully international basis. It have always defined the term "art" very broadly, to encompass all times, all places, and all media. And it believes in the importance of the quiet work that goes on behind-the-scenes but is absolutely necessary for public projects to succeed: research, conservation, and interpretation. These values have guided it well, and it looks forward to sharing its continuing work.

UPDATE: This boat is now sold.
Just in! This 2003 Whitehall rowboat with burgundy gelcoat stripe has a sliding rowing seat, two pairs of wood 8′ spoon oars, and some interesting after-market customizations. Though it's almost 20 years old, this boat still has good bones, and its new owner could go a lot of different directions with it, depending on how you want to use it!
Included Equipment: Sliding rowing seat, stainless steel keel strip, blue canvas cover, 2 pairs of 8′ wood spoon oars, 1 pair of 9.5′ carbon fiber oars, dolly, and trailer. It also has an original factory daggerboard & mast step, so it could potentially be converted into a sailboat for an additional cost, if desired.
Now about those after-market customizations:
The hatches you see in the bow and stern seats are not a typical factory option — those seats are usually completely sealed in, with loose foam for floatation. The seats are now empty, and it looks like those hatches were added later for storage or maintenance access.
Plus, somewhere along the way, a former owner swapped out the factory oarlocks for the outrigger style ones you see here in the photo (presumably to go with the included long sweep carbon oars). If you like that setup you could keep it as-is, or opt to have us put back on the original oarlocks if you prefer to row with the 8′ wood oars.
Used Boat Notes: Our modern Whitehalls have multiple footboard positions — this boat has a single-position footboard that reflects its vintage (the footboard is included, though not visible in the photos since it's tucked under the seat). The hull appears in good condition, some cosmetic scuffs are visible at the bow which you can see in the photos. The trailer currently does not have a winch.
Asking $6,000 for this unique Whitehall. A new Whitehall rowboat with all these features and included accessories would retail for over $11,000 today. Send us an email or give us a shout at the boatshop at 253-851-2126 if you'd like to know more about this boat!
THIS BOAT IS NOW SOLD.

Academic misconduct is defined as a violation of the College's standards of academic integrity whether these violations are intentional or unintentional. Academic misconduct consists of cheating on an exam, plagiarism on an academic assignment, or unauthorized collaborative work.
Evidence of academic misconduct may include, but is not limited to, the following:
Some of the student's work coincides with or closely paraphrases a source that is not properly acknowledged.
Glaring coincidences in the work of students on exams, papers, problem sets, etc., where cooperation in producing the work was not permitted.
Submission of the same work in more than one course. When submitting any work to an instructor for a course, it is assumed that the work was produced specifically for that course. Submission of the same work in more than one course without prior approval is prohibited.
Sources that must be acknowledged include, but are not limited to, lab manuals, books, articles in books, journal articles, and web pages, along with graphs, charts, tables, data sets, etc., in any of the sources just mentioned. Proper acknowledgment must indicate both the source and how it served as a source for any specific portions of the student's assignment.
The informal nature of some writing may obviate the necessity of rigorously formal citation, but still requires honest attribution to original authors of all borrowed materials. Students should feel free to consult with instructors whenever there is doubt as to proper documentation.
The unlawful possession, use, purchase, or distribution of alcohol on College property or as part of any College activity is prohibited. The unlawful possession, use, purchase, or distribution of illicit drugs, controlled substances (including stimulants, depressants, narcotics, or hallucinogenic drugs), or paraphernalia—or the misuse of prescription drugs, including sharing, procuring, buying, or using in a manner different from the prescribed use, or by someone other than the person for whom it was prescribed—is prohibited on College property or as part of any College activity.
Swarthmore College recognizes that there may be situations in which students would be in need of swift medical assistance for themselves or others, as a result of alcohol and/or drug use. The College expects each student to share in the safety and wellbeing of their fellow students and to seek out assistance from College officials (Public Safety, Resident Advisors, Dean's Office Staff) and/or medical emergency services through 911, without fear of College disciplinary action for the consumption of alcohol and/or use of controlled substances.
Under the College's Alcohol and Other Drug Amnesty policy, typically neither the student in need nor the student or student organization requesting assistance will be subject to disciplinary action as a result of a violation of the Alcohol and/or Drug Policy.
Read the full policy.
Assault, Endangerment, of Infliction of Physical Harm
Physical restraint, assault, or any other act of violence or use of physical force against any member of the community, or any act that threatens the use of physical force is forbidden. Conduct—whether reckless or intentional—that a person knows, or which any reasonable person under the circumstances would know, places oneself or another at risk of bodily harm is subject to disciplinary action, whether or not the risk is realized. The director of student conduct, in consultation with the dean of students, will review the conduct and the circumstances in which it occurred and decide whether it falls under a minor or major adjudication, or to refer it to the College Judicial Committee for adjudication. The more reckless the conduct and the greater the risk of serious bodily harm and/or the greater the actual bodily harm caused, the greater the likelihood of a severe sanction.
As stated in the Academic Freedom and Responsibility Policy, membership in the academic community imposes on students, faculty members, administrators, and trustees an obligation to respect the dignity of others, to acknowledge their right to express differing opinions, and to foster and defend intellectual honesty, inquiry and instruction, and free expression on and off campus. These freedoms of expression extend so far as the expression does not impinge on the rights of other members of the community or the orderly and essential operations of the College. These are fundamental norms and expectations of expression for Swarthmore College. Banners, chalkings, and posters are subject to reasonable requirements on their display and may be removed when a violation of College policy or the requirements described below occur. Some examples of behaviors that are inconsistent with our norms and expectations include actionable harassment or bullying; threats, intimidation, or incitement of violence; and defamation or other unlawful invasion into the privacy of others. All are encouraged to engage in the civil exchange of viewpoints, with the understanding that even where we disagree, we can still recognize that we are all valued members of the Swarthmore College community.
Students are also encouraged to read the Disorderly Conduct policy within the Student Code of Conduct.
Banners. Banners may only be hung on Clothier Hall's façade facing Parrish Beach, in Cosby Courtyard, or in Sharples Dining Hall. Banners hung elsewhere, including on or in Parrish Hall, will be removed. The standard maximum duration for banner display is one (1) week; groups and student organizations are limited to one (1) banner reservation per month. Priority is given to student organizations or community-wide events (e.g., Winter Formal, Large-Scale Event, etc.).
Requests for banner space must be made to the Office of Student Engagement five (5) business days in advance of the requested starting display date. All banners must be reviewed by the Office of Student Engagement prior to installation. Students acknowledge that a banner is at risk of being stolen, and the College is not responsible for such loss or damage. External advertisements and solicitations of a commercial nature are prohibited.
For banners in Sharples, once approved, students may hang their banner using tape or string. Students are responsible for removing their banner after the five-day display period.
For banners hung on Clothier or in Cosby Courtyard, once approved, students must deliver their banner to the Facilities Service Building by 2 p.m. on the Friday before the start of the reservation to ensure their banner is properly hung and according to the schedule. Installations will not occur on weekends and are subject to the availability of staff. During the first weeks of the semester and the move-out period, staff are not available to hang student banners. Banners must be no more than 8-feet wide and no more than 5-feet tall; made of vinyl or durable plastic or color-fast printed/painted fabric (hemmed); grommets should be present on the banner corners to ensure secure attachment to the wall; and a few short slits should be cut in the banner to inhibit the wind from catching and ripping the material. Banners will be removed on Monday mornings, and students must retrieve their banner from facilities no later than noon the following day. Failure to do so could result in banner disposal.
Chalkings. Chalkings are permitted only on paved, outdoor walkways that are open to the rain. Walkways under porches or archways and vertical surfaces may not be used, and such chalkings will be washed away. Science Center outdoor blackboards are meant for dynamic use while members of the community are present. Questions about particular chalkings or postings should be directed to the Office of Student Engagement.
Posters. All advertisements, flyers, notices, etc., constitute posters and may only be posted on public bulletin boards. Outdated posters must be promptly removed; anyone may remove outdated posters from public boards.
Recommended posting spots include the post office boards, residence hall bulletin boards, Sharples boards and tabling, and Clothier in Tarble boards. Masking or painter's tape is approved for use for securing the posters—duct tape is not allowed. Posters may not be placed on light posts, trash cans, buildings, walls, floors, doors, windows in doors, walkways, bike racks, handrails, stairs, or trees, nor may they be placed on the assigned group bulletin boards in Parrish without permission from the group.
Posters need to be "signed " with a recognized student organization or the individual name of a matriculated student. No mentions or images of alcohol are allowed. If posters do not conform to these rules, they may be removed, and the individual or group may be fined or held financially responsible for damage.
Bullying and Intimidation
Bullying. Bullying includes any electronic, written, verbal, or physical act or a series of acts of physical, social, or emotional domination that is intended to cause or any reasonable person should know would cause physical or substantial emotional harm to another student or group of students. Bullying conduct may not only cause a negative effect on individuals targeted, but also others who observe the conduct. Bullying conduct is severe, persistent, or pervasive and has the effect of doing any of the following:
(i) substantially interfering with a community member's education, employment, or full enjoyment of the college;
(ii) creating a threatening or intimidating environment; or
(iii) substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the College.
Bullying is prohibited, and participating in such acts will result in disciplinary action.
Intimidation. Intimidation is any verbal, written, or electronic threats of violence or other threatening behavior directed toward another person or group that reasonably leads the person(s) in the group to fear for their physical well-being. Intimidation is prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.
Anyone who attempts to use bullying or intimidation to retaliate against someone who reports an incident, brings a complaint, or participates in an investigation in an attempt to influence the student conduct process will be in violation of retaliation as described within this handbook and will be subject to disciplinary action.
When acts of bullying and intimidation occur in the context of intimate-partner violence or when the behavior is perpetrated on the basis of sex or gender, the conduct will be resolved under the Sexual Assault and Harassment Policy.
Discrimination, Including Harassment, Based On A Protected Class
Discrimination, including harassment, based on a protected class is defined as unreasonable, unwelcome conduct, based on an individual's sex, race, color, age, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, marital status, medical condition, veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected classification, that objectively and subjectively harms the person by severely, persistently, or pervasively interfering with the person's educational opportunities, full enjoyment of residence and community, or terms of employment. This type of discrimination can occur in any form and can be directed at individuals or groups. Depending on the severity of the circumstances, infractions may be resolved through a variety of appropriate methods, ranging from informal, remedial steps, including training, counseling, or mediation to disciplinary action, up to and including suspension or expulsion. In all cases, the College encourages individuals to seek support and assistance as soon as possible. Before any behavior can be considered for the student conduct process, it must be clear that no substantial free expression interests are threatened by bringing a formal charge of discrimination. If a person has been subject to discrimination including harassment on the basis of a protected classification, as described above, the student should consult with the director of equal opportunity and engagement for guidance.
The College's Sexual Assault and Harassment Policy prohibits all forms of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, indecent exposure, intimate-partner violence, dating violence, and domestic violence, retaliation, stalking, and other misconduct that is sex or gender based, or in the context of an intimate partner relationship including: bullying and intimidation, stalking, physical assault, and discrimination. The full policy can be found at http://www.swarthmore.edu/share/sexual-assault-harassment-policy.
If a person has been subject to sexual misconduct in any form, the person should consult with the Title IX coordinator for guidance and resolution of sex or gender based complaints under the Sexual Assault and Harassment Policy.
Students at Swarthmore College have the right to express their views, feelings, and beliefs inside and outside the classroom and to support causes publicly, including by demonstrations and other means.
These freedoms of expression extend so far as expression does not impinge on the rights of other members of the community or the orderly and/or essential operations of the College. In light of the principles and expectations described within the policy on Academic Freedom and Responsibility, disorderly conduct is not permitted.
Disorderly conduct is a violation that prevents the orderly operation of the College, which includes, but is not limited to:
Excessive noise, which interferes with classes, College offices, residence hall neighbors, or other campus and community activities;
Unauthorized entry into or occupation of a private work area;
Conduct that restricts or prevents faculty or staff members or student employees from performing their duties, including interruption of meetings, classes, or events;
Failure to maintain clear passage into or out of any College building or passageway, and/or work space;
Failure to disperse when a building, office, or campus space is closed; and/or
Other conduct that disrupts the operations of the College, such as lectures, meetings, events (such as admissions tours or job interviews), ceremonies, or other necessary business and community functions.
The College defines an event as an academic, intellectual, cultural, and/or social gathering, held by students or a student organization, in campus space. Events can be open to the entire campus community, open to all enrolled students, or closed events held for a smaller group of students and/or members of an organization. Typically, guest(s) of enrolled students are permitted at campus events; please see the guest policy for additional information on the College's guest policy. Usually, events are not open to the general public without written permission from the Office of Student Engagement. Both open and closed events follow the same expectations and process for registration.
The College further differentiates between alcohol registered events (A.R.E.s) and dry events (events where alcohol is not present). A.R.E.s are registered events where alcohol will be present, either provided by the host or brought by attendees, and/or alcohol will be served. All A.R.Es. require advance registration and approval of a College Alcohol Permit.
Unless specifically authorized in writing by the Associate Dean of Students or designee, no College funding may be used to purchase alcoholic beverages (written authorization may be given for senior only events, associated with senior week/senior class only events at off-campus locations where all participants are over 21 years old).
A College event may be held on- or off- campus and may only be sponsored by Swarthmore students. All events held on-campus are automatically subject to this policy. An individual and/or organization holding an event off-campus may be subject to the student code of conduct and/or Pennsylvania state law.
Open events are defined as an event where all students are permitted to attend, without an entry fee. Open events may or may not be open to the larger campus community.
Closed events may be held for a smaller group of students and/or members of an organization. A guest list may be required depending on the size and scale of the event.
If a student is unsure about whether their event is 'open' or 'closed', they make seek advisement from the Office of Student Engagement.
The College expects students to comply with the directions of law enforcement officers or College officials acting in the performance of their duties.
Furthermore, the College expects students held responsible for Student Code of Conduct violations to fully comply with all disciplinary sanctions imposed by the College. A responsible student's failure to comply with imposed sanctions or any related directions of a College official in the performance of their duties will be subject to further disciplinary action.
A student may not knowingly provide false information or make misrepresentation to any College office. In addition, the forgery, alteration, or unauthorized possession or use of College documents, records, or instruments of identification, forged or fraudulent communications (paper or electronic mail) are prohibited.
Upon request, students are obligated to provide College personnel with accurate identification and must present their OneCard when requested. A student may not knowingly provide false information or make misrepresentations to any College office. Swarthmore Police Department will accept a Swarthmore College OneCard as proof of identification, expect when a driver's is required for operating a motor vehicle.
In addition, the forgery, alteration, or unauthorized possession or use of College documents, records, or instruments of identification, or forged or fraudulent communications (paper or electronic mail) are prohibited and subject to disciplinary action.
Fire regulations prohibit personal cooking appliances (hot plates, toaster ovens, or other items with open-heat elements), space heaters, candles, incense, other open-flame items, vapes, and halogen lamps. Open flames, including the burning of candles, incense or other unauthorized objects, are not permitted in residence halls or any other unauthorized area of campus. It is also a violation to hang items from any part of fire safety equipment including conduits and sprinkler heads. Any student with an open flame (e.g., candle, incense, etc.) may be subject to a $500 fine.
Tampering, interference, misuse, causing damage, and/or destruction of fire safety and fire prevention equipment are prohibited and are a violation of state law. Any student who causes an alarm to be set off for improper purposes may be liable for the expenses incurred by the fire department(s) in responding to the alarm, in addition to any fines, charges or sanctions that may be applied for violation(s) of this policy.
If no individuals accept responsibility when a violation of this policy occurs in a residence hall, all residents of that residence hall may be subject to fines and charges for costs incurred by the College and/or fire department(s).
Fire drills are held on a regular basis. Failure to vacate any College building during an active fire alarm, including drills is a violation of College policy, may result in disciplinary action. Directions for fire drill procedures are posted in every building. Hallways and stairwells must be kept clear of bicycles, trunks, and furniture, and may not be used for storage. Items impinging on free movement in public spaces, including halls and stairways, will be removed (including cutting locks, when necessary) and their owners may be charged for their removal.
Students are financially responsible for damages resulting from reckless conduct or violation of this policy. Any student in violation of the College's fire safety rules (e.g., unauthorized candle/incense/object burning, tampering with fire safety equipment, etc.) may be subject to restitution and replacement costs, a fine, adjudication through the student conduct process, or other reasonable resolution as deemed by the student conduct administrator.
Any student in possession of prohibited items and/or in violation of the fire safety policy may be referred to the student conduct process.
Swarthmore College prohibits any form of hazing, whether the activities occur on or off property owned or operated by the College. Additionally, the College supports and enforces the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Timothy J. Piazza Anti-hazing Law, Act 80 of 2018. Failure to notify the College of an incident of hazing, may be a violation of this policy.
Hazing includes, but is not limited to, any behavior and/or acts of servitude that is designed or intended to humiliate, degrade, embarrass, harass, or ridicule an individual, or that which a reasonable person would deem harmful or potentially harmful to an individual's physical, emotional, or psychological well-being, as an actual or perceived condition of new or continued affiliation with any organization, and/or team. Hazing also includes knowingly or recklessly engaging in such behavior and/or acts.
Engagement in any of these behaviors, regardless of the intent to cause harm or the willingness of an individual to participate in such activity, for the purpose of initiation, admission, or continued affiliation and/or membership, is a violation of this policy.
General housing policies and regulations described below are established by the Dean's Office and the Office of Student Engagement. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with the policies and rules concerning conduct in the residence halls. Acceptance of space in College housing constitutes knowledge of, willingness, and agreement to abide by these housing policies. Living in College housing is a privilege and not a right. The Dean's Office and/or Office of Student Engagement may, at any time and at its own discretion, withdraw this privilege due to behavior, which does not rise to the standards outlined below. Students who lose their housing privileges are not typically entitled to a refund of their room and board charges for the remaining weeks of the semester.
The College will not tolerate retaliation. Retaliation against any person or group who makes a complaint, cooperates with an investigation, or participates in
a resolution process is a violation of College policy. Retaliation can take many forms, including continued abuse or violence, bullying, threats, and intimidation. Any individual or group of individuals, not just a complainant or respondent, can engage in retaliation.
Retaliation should be reported promptly to the senior class dean and director of student conduct and may result in disciplinary action independent of any sanction or interim measures imposed in response to the underlying allegation of misconduct.
Sexual Misconduct, Including Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Sexual Exploitation, Indecent Exposure, Intimate-Partner Violence, Dating Violence and Domestic Violence, Retaliation, Stalking, and Other Misconduct that is Sex or Gender Based, or in the context of an Intimate Partner Relationship Including: Bullying and Intimidation, Stalking, Physical Assault and Discrimination
Swarthmore College is committed to establishing and maintaining a community rich in equality and free from all forms of discrimination and harassment.
The College seeks to create an environment in which the greatest academic potential of students and professional potential of employees may be realized. In order to create and maintain such an environment, the College recognizes that all who work and learn
at the College are responsible for ensuring that the community is free from discrimination based on sex or gender, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, and intimate-partner violence. These behaviors threaten our learning, living, and work environments and will not be tolerated.
The College's Sexual Assault and Harassment Policy prohibits all forms of sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, indecent exposure, intimate-partner violence, dating violence and domestic violence, retaliation, stalking, and other misconduct that is sex or gender based, or in the context of an intimate partner relationship including: bullying and intimidation, physical assault and stalking, discrimination.
Smoking and vaping is prohibited in all indoor spaces throughout the College, including meeting rooms, lounges, offices, and residence halls (including individual's residential rooms). Violation(s) may result in a referral to student conduct, a fine, and/or other potential penalties, including exclusion from campus housing. Altering smoke detectors creates danger for all building occupants and may be met with disciplinary action.
Smoking is allowed outdoors at a minimum distance of 25 feet from all buildings.
Theft, negligent, intentional, or accidental damage to personal or College property is prohibited, as is possession of stolen property. Restitution may be charged to the appropriate individual(s) and may warrant College disciplinary action. In the event that damage occurs in residence-hall common space for which no one assumes responsibility, restitution may be divided equally among all residents of that hall. Administrative fees may be added if students do not comply by the end of the semester.
For damage that occurs during a student event in
a space other than a residence hall and for which
no individual student(s) accept(s) responsibility, the sponsoring students and/or organization may be held accountable for the money for replacement or repair of the damaged property and may be subject to further disciplinary action.
Unauthorized entry into or presence within enclosed College buildings or areas, including athletic facilities, construction sites, and student rooms or offices, even when unlocked, is prohibited. Climbing on any College building or College-owned structure or being present on building roofs is prohibited without authorization. Tampering with locks to College buildings, unauthorized possession or use of College keys, and alteration or duplication of College keys is against College policy. Participation in any of these activities may subject a student to fines and/or further disciplinary action.
Unauthorized Use of College Facilities or Services
The unauthorized use of College property, including but not limited to College buildings, spaces and grounds; College documents and records; or College furnishings, equipment and materials, is a violation of College policy and is subject to disciplinary action. The Acceptable Use Policy under Academic Policies provides guidelines for use of College computer systems and networks.
Any violation of local, state, federal, or international law may subject a student to College disciplinary action. A pending appeal of a conviction shall not affect the application of this rule.
No student may possess or use a firearm on Swarthmore College property or its environs. Firearms, including rifles, shotguns, handguns, air guns, and gas-powered guns and all ammunition or hand-loading equipment and supplies for the same, are not allowed. No student may possess or use fireworks, dangerous devices, chemicals, or explosives on Swarthmore College property or its environs. Items such as knives that could be viewed as weapons are forbidden.

Title IX Office


UPDATE: How many of Michigan's "juvenile lifers" have been re-sentenced?
91 of Michigan's 363 juvenile lifers have been re-sentenced, one year after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered states to do so.
In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that mandatory sentences of life without the possibility of parole for teenagers under 18 are unconstitutional. Then in 2016, the Court followed-up that ruling demanding that states re-sentence prisoners that were given life sentences as minors.
As it turns out, Michigan had the second-highest number of so-called juvenile lifers in the country, with over 360 prisoners eligible for re-sentencing. But the state was slow to act on those cases, and many prosecutors decided that parole was out of the question for juvenile lifers.
In December, Michigan Radio looked into this issue in order to find out who these juvenile lifers were, how their cases were being handled, and whether they would get a second chance.
At the end of 2016, only 24 of the 363 juvenile lifers had received new, term-of-years sentences and one person had been released.
Today, an additional 67 individuals have been re-sentenced and a total of four individuals have been released.
The biggest change was in Wayne County, which jumped from 12 re-sentenced cases to 67.
Oakland County has been the slowest to pick up the slack, with only 2 cases re-sentenced since December, moving up from a total of zero. Michigan Radio has reached out to Oakland County for comment.
24 individuals have been released from prison altogether, joining William Washington, who was the first juvenile lifer in Michigan to be paroled and the only person that had been released last December.
Although progress has been made, with 272 juvenile lifers still in prison waiting for their hearings, the state has a long way to go.

Remember Last Year's Hepatitis A Outbreak? This Year It's So Much Worse.
It's extremely hard to stop. I think it's only going to continue to get bigger.
If we aren't thinking about this long term, then we're destined to repeat this down the road.
"We have a lot of work to do in terms of homelessness in this country and in terms of providing clean access to bathrooms and sanitary conditions. … Particularly in expensive urban areas, affordable housing continues to be a larger issue," she said.
No one should have to get hepatitis A.
