Guitarist Vernon Reid is best known as the founder of the groundbreaking African-American rock group Living Colour. But to recognize Reid solely for his Grammy Award-winning work as a rock musician would be to miss a rich and varied body of work that has extended into virtually every musical genre. Reid has played with artists ranging in style from Mariah Carey to Public Enemy, and from Mick Jagger to jazz guitarist Bill Frisell. He has undertaken a wide range of musical journeys, including the production of James Blood Ulmer's blues album at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, reuniting with Living Colour for a series of shows, and touring with former Cream front man Jack Bruce.
Reid's eclectic musical vision was fostered at a young age. Born in 1958 in London, England, Reid's family moved to Brooklyn, New York, when he was two. He grew up listening to rock and roll, soul, and even calypso music, an influence from his West Indian parents. As a young man, Reid's tastes gravitated toward the guitar heroes of the day—Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and especially Carlos Santana, who incorporated his own Latin heritage into conventional rock music. At the age of 15, Reid took up the guitar and soon gravitated toward jazz music under the tutelage of free form guitarists Ten Dunbar and Rodney Jones.
Reid's first band of note was drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson's experimental jazz-rock group Decoding Society. Throughout the 1980s Reid recorded four albums with Decoding Society and built a reputation for himself as a lightning-fast yet versatile guitarist. This notoriety in the New York music world led to his appearances on the albums of Defunkt, Bill Frisell, Jim Zorn, Mick Jagger, and Public Enemy, during the period from 1985 to 1987. But it was one of Reid's side projects that would make him a real star in the music world.
In 1983 Reid formed his own band, called Living Colour. The group started out as a hard rock power trio but changed and evolved through the years. By the time of Reid's collaboration with The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger three years later, Living Colour had become a four-man unit and was regularly gigging at the New York rock club CBGBs. Though the group enjoyed some success in New York City, Living Colour had yet to record any original material. Jagger heard the group at the club and agreed to produce a demo for the band to send out to the big record companies. Jagger produced "Glamour Boys" and "Which Way to America," and sent the songs, along with the rest of what would become the group's first album, Vivid, to Epic Records.
Reid and his bandmates went on tour for 18 months to publicize and support the unreleased material. The all-African-American lineup of hard rockers created a buzz wherever they played. As a result of the tour and the accompanying publicity surrounding the group, Epic Records signed the band, and Living Colour burst onto the scene of mainstream rock radio, an arena traditionally dominated by white artists. Suddenly there was a black heavy metal band whose music included elements of jazz, rap, funk, and calypso stylings. The public's receptivity to these new musical blends was evidenced by the popularity of the record. One year after its release, Vivid went platinum, and the single "Cult of Personality" broke into the top ten. But a hit record was not enough for Reid. He and Village Voice writer Greg Tate formed the Black Rock Coalition (BRC) in the mid-1980s to help other African-American rock musicians. Reid wanted to use his stardom to help others. He told Rolling Stone in 1989: "It's not about 'Now we got through the door, close the door behind us.' What I hope our success is doing is encouraging other black rock bands to stick with it, because this is the result of six years of hard work. Other bands have told me our success is giving them the feeling that it's possible."
After the success of Vivid, Living Colour produced three more albums: Time's Up in 1990, Biscuits in 1991, and Stain in 1993. After the last album was finished, Reid found his professional and personal life changing. His first marriage fell apart, and he decided to break up Living Colour. The group's five-year stint as a band had yielded two Grammy Awards, two MTV Music Video Awards, and two International Rock Awards, along with over four million records sold. As a result of Reid's success with Living Colour he could live comfortably, but his band had dissolved, and that, along with his divorce, had taken away many of the trappings of his success.
Reid's next project was a 1996 album called Mistaken Identity, which Reid produced with a group of musicians who called themselves Masque. Reid told Guitar Player about the fresh start: "Near the end of Living Colour there just wasn't any joy—there was a lack of humility on all our parts. On this project everybody was a close friend that I had a lot of respect for, and most importantly had a sense of humor. I just let myself have fun." Reid's new project left his rock background behind and combined elements of hip-hop and jazz while leaning heavily on cutting-edge technology. Soon after the release of Mistaken Identity Reid was nominated for another Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental, for a song he wrote called "Every Now and Then," which appeared on a Carlos Santana box-set. Reid then toured with one of his bands called My Science Project, and produced an album in Bamako, Mali, for African singer Salif Keita.
As Reid matured, he branched out even more, forming a band called Guitar Oblique with guitarists Elliot Sharp and David Torn. A series of his photographs became the subject of an exhibition in New York City titled Fetishes, Moments, Mementos, and the eclectic artist also wrote a play.
But perhaps none of Reid's projects has been as dear to him as the Healing Hands Percussion Circle, which he formed in 2000. Reid saw a photograph of two victims of the civil war in Sierra Leone, whose hands had been amputated by rebel forces as a form of intimidation. Reid told the New York Times about his motivation in forming the Healing Hands relief organization: "As a guitarist, the idea of the forcible taking of the hands is mind-numbingly horrific. The image was so striking, and what was happening was so beyond the pale, that I began to look into it." Reid brought together drummers for performances to raise money for the victims, and to bring to public consciousness the horrible conditions under which some civil war victims were living.
In addition to charity work, the development of his own projects, touring with rock legend Jack Bruce, and producing other artists' music—including a Sun Studios recording of James Blood Ulmer—Reid found time to reunite with his old bandmates. Living Colour got together again for a series of concerts in the spring of 2001. He also worked as producer on a record by blues singer James Blood Ulmer.

In 2003 Reid and Living Colour released another album, Collideoscope. Rolling Stone reviewer David Fricke wrote of the album, "Black-funk-metal pioneers return in righteous form." In 2004 Reid produced his second album with Masque, Known Unknown. According to Eric R. Danton in the Hartford Courant, the album "embraces Reid's downtown avant-garde beginnings, with a mix of funk, jazz and experimental sounds on a dozen instrumentals." Reid told Danton, "Roots is roots. I think the Masque project, the Masque band, allows me to really utilize my guitar in a more upfront way and look at a lot of the same questions from a different angle from, say, Living Colour." In the Buffalo News, Jeff Miers wrote that Known Unknown "offers a dizzying instrumental tour through Reid's fertile imagination and the collective intensity of his cohorts."
While many observers view his musical journey with awe, Reid takes it all in stride. He told the New York Times, "I was just a kid in Brooklyn, sitting on his bed with a guitar in my lap, and listening to Santana records or James Brown records or Mahavishnu records or Led Zeppelin records, and thinking, 'Wow!' And then, you know, I'm meeting Jimmy Page. It is not lost on me, the fantastic irony of it. Now, I basically want to just keep on going."

Guitarist, songwriter
The art world has always been populated by two factions: those who create "art for art's sake" and those who fashion their creations into some kind of political or social statement. Among the latter group is guitarist/composer Vernon Reid. Through his band Living Colour, an all-black rock quartet that blasted into stardom between 1988 and '89, he is seeking to improve opportunities for black musicians. "I've been trying to raise people's consciousness," the England-born New Yorker told the Los Angeles Times. "I want them to find a new way to think about rock musicians. It doesn't have to be some blue-eyed guy with long, blond hair playing it. It can be somebody who looks like me."
Reid's crusade is directed against the paradox that under lies rock history: Even though rock and roll evolved from the Afro-American tradition of the blues, it has always been the territory of white musicians. Blacks, meanwhile, have been cast by the music industry into their own "urban contemporary" genre. "The career prospects are grim for a black musician who falls outside the rigid stylistic confines of the 'urban contemporary' sound," Joe Gore observed in a Guitar Player cover story on Reid. "Black musicians who don't rap, croon romantic ballads, or make good-timey party records usually find themselves locked out of both black and white markets."
In September, 1985, Reid responded to this predicament. Along with Village Voice writer Greg Tate, he formed the Black Rock Coalition, an organization that provides networks of support and education for black musicians. "Basically what we try to do is … demystify the business," Reid explained to the Chicago Tribune. "If you're trying to break in [to the business], it's like walking up to a building that's completely smooth glass and there's no doorway." Yet getting more blacks into the industry is only part of the BRC's agenda. At the same time, it is trying to chip away at the barriers that make it difficult for blacks to enter in the first place. In a founding manifesto, Reid and Tate spelled out the BRC's intentions: "The Black Rock Coalition opposes the racist and reactionary forces in the American music industry which deny black artists the expressive freedom and economic rewards that our Caucasian counterparts enjoy as a matter of course. We too claim the right of creative freedom and total access to American and international airwaves, audiences, and markets…." As Reid explained more succinctly to the New York Times, "The Black Rock Coalition says rock-and-roll is the music of our forefathers, and we are the heirs to that music.
The embodiment of that philosophy is Living Colour. By demonstrating that they can rock in any "color" they choose, the New York-based group—composed of Reid, lead singer Corey Glover, bass player Muzz Skillings, and drummer/percussionist William Calhoun—have begun an erosion of the stylistic—and thus racial—divisions erected by the music industry. "[T]he basic underpinning of our music is freedom of choice," Reid told the New York Times, "freedom from people's expectations about what you should and shouldn't do." Accordingly, their 1988 debut album Vivid displayed a multiple musical personality, encompassing heavy metal, avant-garde jazz, soul, punk, calypso, funk, and rap. At the same time, the lyrics broke with the entertainment-oriented subjects that have come to be expected from black songwriters, dealing instead with issues confronting the black urban community—from prejudice ("Funny Vibe") to urban renewal ("Open Letter [to a Landlord]") to the failure of the media to depict the realities of lower-class life ("Which Way to America?"). That the public was ready for such boldness was proved by Vivid's remarkable success. Early in 1989, less than a year after its release, the record cracked the Top Ten for both albums and singles ("Cult of Personality"); soon afterward, with sales topping one million, it passed the platinum mark.
Born c. 1959 in England to West Indian parents; during childhood, moved with family to Brooklyn, New York. Education: Brooklyn Technical High School, art studies major.
During teens, studied with jazz guitarists Ted Dunbar and Rodney Jones; in the early 1980s, after a brief stint with rhythm and blues singer Kashif, joined the Decoding Society, a jazz ensemble led by drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson; c. 1983, formed precursor to Living Colour; during early and mid-80s, collaborated with a variety of New York artists, including the art/dance band Defunkt, the avant-funk groups M-Base and the Contortions, progressive percussionist Daniel Ponce, jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, rappers Public Enemy, avant-garde composer John Zorn, experimental guitarist Arto Lindsay; in 1985, with music critic Greg Tate, formed the Black Rock Coalition; in 1986, formed current lineup of Living Colour; played on Mick Jagger's Primitive Cool LP, 1987.

On Vivid, Reid is showcased not only as a composer and lyricist—he wrote or co-wrote ten out of the LP's eleven cuts—but also as one of rock's brilliant new guitarists, inspiring several critics to rhapsodize about his solo style. "Reid … generates all the heat and light you could ask for with nothing but flying fingers and synaptic lightning-flashes," wrote Robert Palmer in Spin. "[He] textures his playing, giving every chord precise and proper weight, imparting a distinctive timbre, a certain eccentric spin to every note, at the most furious tempos. His riffing sizzles like oxidizing metal; his solos are brilliant databursts…. Even the likes of Eddie Van Halen might lose some sleep over this stuff." But as Reid revealed to Guitar Player, he is not content to roam solely within the boundaries of rock. "I've always been fascinated by ragtime guitar playing. I really want to do that—it's killing me. I want to have a richer chord vocabulary. I want to go back into jazz and really learn standards."
Reid's stylistic versatility is not surprising, considering the tastes he has cultivated as a listener. Born around 1959, he was weaned on diverse samplings from his parents' record collection—the calypso of Lord Kitchener and the Mighty Sparrow, the pop-rhythm and blues blend of Dionne Warwick and the Temptations, the British rock of the Dave Clark 5, and the funk of James Brown. As a teenager he tuned in to the guitar styles of jazz-rock pioneer, John McLaughlin and rockers Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and especially Carlos Santana, whose Latin-flavored style inspired him to bring his own ethnic roots to rock. At the same time he explored other genres, from the ground-breaking jazz of Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and Eric Dolphy to the modern classical music of Bela Bartok and Edgar Varese.
Reid took up guitar at the age of 15 and began studying with top jazz guitarists Ted Dunbar and Rodney Jones. Within a few years he was playing professionally. "I had this vision of playing the powerful, rock-oriented music," he told the Los Angeles Times, "of being this strong, solid musician who could play whatever he wanted—even this kind of music that black musicians hardly ever played. I knew what I wanted and I went after it." Appropriately, his career began with a baptism of fire: He joined the highly acclaimed Decoding Society, a hard-edged jazz-rock experimental group led by drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson. After touring extensively and recording six albums with Jackson, he collaborated witha variety of artists, all of whom, like Jackson, represented the cutting edge of New York's multi-faceted music scene—the art/dance band Defunkt, the avant-funk Contortions and M-Base, progressive percussionist Daniel Ponce, jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, avant-garde composer John Zorn, experimental guitarist Arto Lindsay, militant rappers Public Enemy, and others.
Meanwhile, about 1983 Reid formed his own band, a prototype of Living Colour. The band underwent several personnel changes until 1986, when they settled into their current lineup and began attracting attention at the New York clubs. Around that time, Mick Jagger was preparing to record Primitive Cool, his second solo LP, and had been advised by colleagues to enlist Reid as a guest guitarist. After seeing Living Colour perform, the legendary Rolling Stone not only gave Reid the job but also offered to help produce the demonstration tape for Vivid. "We were a band like any other band playing at CBGBs," Reid told Rolling Stone, referring to a hard-rock club in Manhattan. "One night Mick Jagger comes in, checks us out, and the ball starts to roll from there." Jagger produced two tracks—the Carribean-flavored "Glamour Boys" and the rap-tinged hard-rocker "Which Way to America?" —through which the band caught the attention of Epic Records. "But getting a deal wasn't an automatic thing, even with Mick Jagger's name as producer on those tracks," Reid explained to the Los Angeles Times. "It helped that we're a good band. But we had to be real good—better than a white rock band has to be—to convince them to gamble on us." After cutting the demo, Living Colour hit the road for 18 months, promoting the record along the Northeast club and college circuit. The tour generated a lot of positive press—and Epic, convinced, signed them.
Though he is obviously pleased by the success of Living Colour, Reid has been quick to point out that they are the exception to the rule; in several interviews he has stressed the many talented black rock acts compared to the few who have record contracts. "It's not about 'Now we got through the door, close the door behind us, '" Reid told Rolling Stone early in 1989. "What I hope our success is doing is encouraging other black rock bands to stick with it, because this is the result of six years of hard work. Other bands have told me our success is giving them the feeling that it's possible." Remaining optimistic, however, is often a challenge for him. "If you're black you have some rage in you," he told the Los Angeles Times. "It may be buried deep in some people but it's there. Playing music has helped me deal with my anger at the position of blacks in this country and the position of black rock musicians in the music business."
As a composer, Reid draws from not only the black American experience but also his African roots. Among his works-in-progress is a multi-media theater piece called Afrerica, which he is creating in collaboration with a writer named Sekow Sundiata. "It's based on the idea of the Africa that black Americans have in their heads," he explained to Guitar Player. "There's the physical Africa, and then there's the African construct that we've put together to help us survive. Black nationalists have seized on Africa as this golden Valhalla or Asgard, this incredibly magical and good place. It's like an amalgam of what they would like to see happen here and the bit of African history that they know. There are so many Africas, and so many societies in Africa, each with its own morals. We've taken what we like about all these things. Afrerica is about this fantastical concept. It's one of my life projects; it will change as my compositional abilities improve."

Good morning and happy Wednesday! With a quick 48-hour trip to Dallas later this week, I'm scrambling to get everything done today.
Luckily, packing for 2 nights is a breeze – it'll be just like the good ol' days when I traveled often for work in the medical device industry. In those years, I flew almost 100,000 miles a year and it taught me how to streamline my packing, i.e. carry-on only. Even for a weeklong conference! It was much better than having lost baggage and not being properly dressed for an important meeting.

Reggae-Ruby
=============
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/atilaneves/reggae-ruby.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/atilaneves/reggae-ruby)

A Ruby interface / front-end to [the reggae meta-build system](https://github.org/atilaneves/reggae).

Installation
------------

    gem install reggae

The reason for a global install is that the `reggae` gem installs an executable script
called `reggae_json_build.rb` that is needed by the `reggae` D binary.

Usage
------------

This gem makes available a few classes and functions that allow the user to write
build descriptions in Ruby. It is essentially the same API as the D version but in
Ruby syntax. A simple C build could be written like this:

    require 'reggae'
    main_obj = Target.new('main.o', 'gcc -I$project/src -c $in -o $out', Target.new('src/main.c'))
    maths_obj = Target.new('maths.o', 'gcc -c $in -o $out', Target.new('src/maths.c'))
    app = Target.new('myapp', 'gcc -o $out $in', [main_obj, maths_obj])
    bld = Build.new(app)

This should be contained in a file named `reggaefile.rb` in the project's root directory.
Running the `reggae` D binary on that directory will produce a build with the requested backend
(ninja, make, etc.)

Most builds will probably not resort to low-level primitives as above. A better way to describe
that C build would be:

    require 'reggae'
    objs =  object_files(flags: '-I$project/src', src_dirs: ['src'])
    app = link(exe_name='app', dependencies=objs)
    bld = Build.new(app)

Please consult the [reggae documentation](https://github.com/atilaneves/reggae/tree/master/doc/index.md)
for more details.

Taking care of an older car requires knowledge and impressive discipline. Maintaining the integrity of a classic car takes skill, but it's a skill that you can master over time. If you're persistent and patient, you will be an expert at antique car maintenance in no time.
Make a list of what needs to be done for your car and prioritize the most important tasks. Cosmetic issues are often eclipsed by the mechanical issues you face by owning an older vehicle. This should help you decide what needs immediate attention versus what you can leave for a rainy day.
Your top priority when you decide to own and take care of an old car is keeping it safe from the risk of any accidents. You need to ensure that everything is in good working order and that the tires will be able to withstand driving in all kinds of weather.
Double check that your fluids levels are where they need to be and top off any fluids that appear low. This will keep your engine, transmission – even your windshield wipers – working. When you take your classic car to a mechanic, ask them to rotate the tires and check the pressure on each tire to ensure that the tires will last a long time.
Incorporate maintenance and upkeep into your regular routine. Keeping a classic car beautiful and functional means that you'll need to give it the time and love it needs to keep running. This will also save you from the hassle of getting stranded on the side of the road or having to do without a car until you can afford a new one.
Now that you know the dos and don'ts of classic car maintenance, you'll have a simpler time preserving the natural beauty of your old automobile.

AAPR Announces Areas of Recommendation to Oberlin Community
Sydney Allen and Nathan Carpenter|March 15, 2019
Students, faculty, and staff members gather in Dye Lecture Hall for the AAPR steering committee's presentation on the proposed areas of recommendation for the College and Conservatory's financial sustainability.
Meg Parker
After months of research, data collection, and deliberation, members of the Academic and Administrative Program Review steering committee presented their proposed areas of recommendation to the Oberlin community in a series of three presentations for faculty, staff, and students this week.
The presentations capped a year-long exploratory process during which a 31-person steering committee — composed of faculty, staff, students, trustees, and alumni — analyzed nearly every aspect of Oberlin's budget through a combination of surveys, data collection, program reports, interviews, focus groups, and more. This was the first institution-wide program review process Oberlin has ever undergone.
The AAPR was launched after President Carmen Twillie Ambar and the Board of Trustees announced that Oberlin's budget model was unsustainable — a realization that became more urgent after an enrollment shortfall pushed the school's deficit to $5 million last fall. Since then every division of the College has made significant short-term cuts to their spending. During the presentation, the committee announced that Oberlin would reach a budget deficit of $52 million by 2024 if no changes were made.
"The college has been running a deficit and the short-term financial decisions are designed to partially address that deficit," said David Kamitsuka, the acting dean of Arts and Sciences and chair of the steering committee. "By itself, however, the short-term budgeting by the College will not be able to get us out of deficit. This is a serious problem because every year of deficit makes us weaker financially, and reduces the options we have to shape our own future."
Chair of the Board of Trustees Chris Canavan, OC '84, expressed similar sentiments about the urgency of the AAPR process.
"Right now, we control our future," Canavan said. "We control our destiny. But that won't be true forever, and that might not be true for long if we don't start doing something now."
The committee organized their proposals around three general categories: academic reorganization, curricular and co-curricular changes, and operational efficiency. Specific areas for reduction or growth were identified within those categories. Committee members emphasized that, at this time, the steering committee does not recommend reducing student financial aid, letting go of faculty in continuing positions, or cutting any majors or minors. Additionally, the steering committee recommends that no cuts should be made that could compromise Oberlin's core elements, including cuts to the College, Conservatory, residential experience, or the Allen Memorial Art Museum.
Below is a general overview of each of the three major categories identified by the AAPR. Each will be reported on in more detail in future issues of the Review. The information below is intended as an introduction to the steering committee's proposals and rationale, along with some preliminary concerns that have arisen among members of the College and Conservatory community.
Academic Reorganization
The steering committee highlighted their four main visions to reorganize Oberlin's existing academic structures: a new approach to collaboration between the Conservatory and the College, a reimagined Conservatory, a restructuring of the College's academic departments, and changes to Winter Term programming.
According to the presentations, College students pay, on average, $10,000 more in tuition annually than Conservatory students. They added that during the 2016–17 fiscal year, the College of Arts and Sciences saw a net revenue of $23.9 million, while the Conservatory saw a deficit of $11.9 million.
Because of this discrepancy, AAPR is proposing to reduce the number of students enrolled in the Conservatory by 100 in the next four years, bringing total enrollment to around 480, while increasing Arts and Sciences enrollment by 100 students over the same timeframe, keeping Oberlin's total student body the same size. According to the steering committee, this shift will increase revenue by around $1 million each year.
AAPR also proposes shifting Conservatory resources to create more robust music opportunities for College students, motivated by the discovery that 80 percent of admitted Arts and Sciences students with a strong interest in music chose to go to other schools.
"We hope that creating more fundamental and ongoing links between the College and Conservatory will excite students and faculty across campus," said Peter Swendsen, an AAPR steering committee member and Conservatory professor. "In particular, we hope to provide more points of entry for College students with a variety of music-related interests — scholarship, performance, technology, composition, etc."
Arts and Sciences would also see significant structural changes under the committee's recommendations — one of the proposals would transition the College from a 32-department system to a model with five or six core academic divisions, each of which would house related departments and programs and share administrative oversight.
"I'm intrigued by the idea of consolidation, and as a current chair, I wouldn't miss the clerical work," wrote Shelley Lee, chair of the Comparative American Studies department, in an email to the Review. "I do wonder, what will a consolidation that maintains existing majors and faculty look like? Department chairs often provide intellectual vision and leadership that is grounded in an area of study, so what would happen to that? … With consolidation, could areas of study with fewer faculty be at a disadvantage against those with more within a divisional unit, and how do we prevent that?"
Finally, the steering committee is considering professionalizing Winter Term by adding more institutional structure and creating a larger on-campus presence for the month. While no concrete changes have been agreed upon, the steering committee suggested potential pathways such as requiring faculty to host research opportunities and group projects on campus, offering more courses for academic credit over winter term, and creating a menu of ExCo courses for the month.
"I like the idea of more on-campus Winter Term opportunities; I found it difficult to find either internships or housing if they were off-campus before," said College senior Mackenzie Lew, who attended Thursday's listening session. "I look forward to more structured Winter Term support for professional experience, or maybe academic credit if that's available."
One of the more controversial changes may involve faculty and staff compensation. As it stands, Oberlin faculty make 11 percent less than their colleagues at the "Sweet 16" colleges and universities that are considered Oberlin's peers. Oberlin's administrative and professional staff make a salary mostly in line with their peers at those same institutions — though this number includes compensation of positions ranging from area coordinators, to deans, to senior staffers.
AAPR contrasted these data with figures about Oberlin's hourly workers, who, according to the steering committee, earn around 34 percent higher wages than comparable positions at other colleges and universities in Northeast Ohio. Presenters further argued that Oberlin's current ratio of 1,100 employees to 2,800 students is financially unsustainable.
The steering committee also intends to consolidate healthcare plans. Currently, hourly employees' plans cost the school $17,000 per year, while administrative and professional staff and faculty have plans which cost $9,800 per year. Steering committee member Jeff Whitmer added that these plans need to be standardized across Oberlin's workforce for equity and financial reasons.
Another recommendation is to reduce Oberlin's overall physical footprint. Currently, Oberlin has a ratio of about 1,000 square feet used per student, while comparable institutions use an average of 818 square feet. Unnecessary space costs the school in heating, cooling, and lighting. The recommended reduction will involve eliminating and phasing out some spaces over time, while simultaneously updating crucial student spaces and reducing Oberlin's outstanding deferred maintenance.
Another recommendation is addressing Oberlin's relationship with the Oberlin Student Cooperative Association to achieve a financially sustainable and equitable partnership. According to the steering committee, OSCA currently receives a $1.9 million subsidy from the College each year through property discounts, ownership costs, and lost revenue.
While many students were concerned about this area of recommendation and the impact it could have on OSCA's nearly 70-year tradition, College senior Kameron Dunbar, Student Senate chair, OSCA member, and a student representative on the steering committee added that committee members hope to collaborate with OSCA to create a plan to reduce its dependence on the College and make the co-op system self-sustainable.
"I'm excited at the opportunity for this community to really take a difficult look at OSCA's relationship to the College — it's undeniable benefits and impact on student life and its real impact on the college budget," Dunbar said. "I know that the three students on AAPR are excited to work with OSCA's leadership in exploring all the opportunities a self-sustaining OSCA can provide."
Curricular, Co-Curricular Changes
The steering committee also identified numerous curricular and co-curricular areas for growth that could increase Oberlin's market appeal and attract a larger number of prospective students.
In the next few years, the College may introduce concentrations in business and global health. About 42 percent of returning Oberlin students, who participated in AAPR data collection, indicated they have an interest in global health.
"I'm happy that the College is finally realizing that Global Public Health/Global Health Studies is a field worth building into the Arts and Sciences," said College junior Ehryn Ortega, who created an independent major in Global Health Studies.
Steering committee members added that, according to their data, a business concentration would be relatively low cost, as it can scaffold onto the infrastructure already in place in the Economics department and Center for Innovation and Impact. According to research collected by the Human Capital Research Corporation, an education research consultant contracted by the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, over a third of prospective students who chose not to attend Oberlin reported a strong interest in business.
The final recommendation involves revamping Oberlin's Career Development Center, which many students feel has been neglected in recent years. The presentation data corroborated this and demonstrated that Oberlin's Career Development Center was underfunded and understaffed compared to services at peer institutions.
In addition to student concerns about the Career Development Center, the AAPR data revealed that Oberlin students secure jobs after graduation at half the rate of our peers. The center currently has four full-time career advisors and a handful of student peer advisors.
This revamping could potentially include moving the Career Development Center to a centralized location, increasing staff and funding, and expanding the Career Communities program — currently in its pilot year — so that funded internships would be available to more students during their time at Oberlin.
Over the coming weeks, steering committee members will be holding listening sessions and office hours, and will be visiting different governing bodies and organizations around campus to collect feedback. After this consultation process, the final recommendations will be formally shared with President Ambar at the end of the semester, who will then pass them along to the Board of Trustees. If the board approves, the recommendations could begin phasing as soon as summer 2019.
The steering committee also plans to release some of the data to the College community in a report that will be released by the end of March.
"As you can see from our initial presentation, this is a data-driven process, and we want our community to understand the information that helped shape the work of AAPR," Kamitsuka said. "We will be releasing a written report in March that will include the data we included in the presentation and more, along with the sources of that data. We will be making source materials available to governance committees such as GFC, EPPC, and EPC in executive session as we agreed at the beginning of this process."
Leadership from OSCA or Oberlin's bargaining units could not be reached to provide comment for this article.

This peace sign necklace is made from an etched Canadian coin, featuring a sailboat on the reverse side.
There have been many peace symbols throughout time, including the olive branch and the dove.
The modern peace sign is recognized around the world but few people know it's origins. This symbol was designed in 1958 by Gerald Holtom to be used in Britain's Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Holtom used semaphore signals (using two hand held flags to communicate) for "N" which is formed by pointing the flags down at an angle, and "D" which is formed by pointing one flag straight up and one flag straight down. Th ND signals, representing nuclear disarmament, were then transposed and drawn as simple lines to create the peace sign that has become so popular in modern culture.

Five years on from the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, an Australian daily has alleged that Malaysian authorities withheld details of an investigation report which has been purportedly been leaked online.
This includes, according to The Australian, the previously dismissed claim that MH370 co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid may have tried to use his mobile phone just minutes before the airplane disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014.
Fariq's father Ab Hamid Md Daud was quoted by The Australian as saying that he was not informed of his son's mobile phone detection by a telecommunications tower at Bandar Baru Farlim Penang.
"No. I don't know about that," he said.
On April 12, 2014, sources told New Straits Times that Fariq had tried to call someone when the plane was flying low near Penang on March 8. The search for the missing aircraft was in its 37th day at the time.
Then-communications and multimedia minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek later said he was sure that Fariq did not attempt to make a phone call from the plane near Penang. ..Read more..

Fourteen-week-old kitten found abandoned in a plastic box needs your help
A 14-week-old kitten who was found abandoned in a box has had to have complex surgery costing over £1,800.
Spencer was handed in to Cats Protection's Haslemere Adoption Centre on Monday 15 July by members of the public who found the box dumped on a road nearby.
Spencer's mother Scarlet and sister Sugar were also in the box.
According to Cats Protection, all three cats were very hot and lucky to have been discovered in time.
"It's shocking enough that the cats were dumped, but the fact poor Spencer was in such a state is just heartbreaking. The poor cats have definitely used at least one of their nine lives." said Hannah Ashwell, Cats Protection's Regional Fundraising Manager.
Scarlet and Sugar have been given the all clear but Spencer was in need of a little more investigation. He had a noticeable limp and an open, infected wound in his groin area. He was also showing signs of discomfort coming from his right hind leg.
After a referral to a specialist vets, X-rays showed that Spencer had a fracture to the top of his right femur.
Because of his injuries, Spencer needed some complex surgery on his hip to stabilise the joint.
"He's been recovering from his surgery at a fosterer's house along with his sister Sugar," said Hannah. "As soon as Spencer is well enough, they will be looking for their forever homes."
Spencer has a long road to recovery and will be receiving veterinary care over the coming weeks with regular check-ups.
However, Hannah and the Haslemere team believe Spencer will be back to full strength in no time at all.
Hannah added: "The total cost of Spencer's treatment, medication and after care, will cost over £1,800. Anything people can donate to help cover this cost will be hugely appreciated and will go a long way to helping."
While Spencer and Sugar will be in care a little longer, Scarlet is ready to find a new home of her own where she can enjoy some home comforts.
Anyone wishing to find out more about adopting Scarlet should call the centre on 01428 604 297, email haslemere@cats.org.uk or visit www.cats.org.uk/haslemere for more information.
Anyone wishing to donate to Spencer's care should visit: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/haslemere-cats-spencer
Any funds raised above the centre's target will be used to help other cats and kittens currently in the care of the charity's Haslemere Adoption Centre.

Central Pennsylvania local band, The Riot, plays at the Millenium Music Conference/Showcase at Harrisburg Area Community College.
Harrisburg, PA- I recently had the chance to interview a local band from York, PA called The Riot. These four guys gave me the chance to look into the basis of their band and get to know them a little bit more. They were a hilarious group to chat with and I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I had. Make sure to check them out!
iS: Who are you and your role in the band?
iS: How long have you known each other?
Ryan: No we didn't. We actually met Paul at Hot Topic when I was working in Lancaster.
Riot: The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. Just because of the history that's there; the bands that have played there.
iS: If you could choose any band to tour with, who would you choose?
iS: Three of you currently live together, who's the hardest to live with?
iS: Album you are most anticipating that is to be released in 2011?
Riot: Ours. Haha, besides our own Bayside, Braid, and Face To Face.
iS: Favorite band you've played with?
Brad: Betty White, she's my homegirl haha.
iS: Any interesting facts about your band members that they themselves would not reveal?
Paul: We don't have any right now but I'm sure if you were to ask us in an hour we'd have something to complain about.
Riot: We plan on finishing up our second album by the summer and then touring. About a year of touring.
iS: Small venue or large venue?
Paul: Haha I'd go for the crowded large venue. That'd be nice.
iS: Hometown show or on the road?
Riot: On the road. Now don't get us wrong, we love our hometown fans, but it's just exciting to be able to be out there, promoting our music.
iS: Stuck in a closet with…Lady GaGa or Justin Bieber?
Paul: Is Lady GaGa a woman? Yeah Lady GaGa if she is.
Ryan: I'm a Gibson guy. Though I do own two Ibanez guitars.


The two levels on which this penthouse develops are characterized by surfaces and volumes that define the environments. In a modern context the protagonists are the furniture of different ages placed in a modern context, in dialogue with a minimal language and refined materials, where the gray shades attenuate the contrasts between the wenge essence and raw iron. The living room, completely glazed, creates a strong link between the inside and the outside, establishing a strong relationship with the external areas of the large terrace surrounded by greenery.

Strengthening the Public's and/or K-12 Students' Environmental Literacy for Community Resilience to Extreme Weather Events and Environmental Changes
The goal of this Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) is to strengthen the public's and/or K-12 students environmental literacy to enable informed decision-making necessary for community resilience to extreme weather events and environmental changes. Many U.S. communities face significant environmental changes, natural disasters, or economic disruptions (U.S Department of Commerce FY2014-FY2018 Strategic Plan). Projected future environmental changes include increased global temperatures, more frequent heat waves, rising sea levels, increased frequency of extreme precipitation events, acidification of the ocean, modifications of growing seasons, changes in storm frequency and intensity, alterations in species ranges and migration patterns, earlier snowmelt, increased drought, and altered river flow volumes (NOAA's Next Generation Strategic Plan, 2010; The Third National Climate Assessment, 2014). Communities must increase their resilience now and build a long-term foundation for resilience in the future. Projects should build the environmental literacy necessary for community resilience by focusing on geographic awareness and an understanding of Earth systems and the threats and vulnerabilities that are associated with a community's location.
