Wentworth Commons
Illinois US
The Wentworth Commons Residence provides 51 affordable apartments for recently homeless families and individuals in the Roseland neighborhood of Chicago. The 65,800 s.f., four story building includes a housing program on the upper floors and supportive services on the ground floor. Apartments range in size from studios to four bedrooms and are blended throughout the building to create a sense of community. Supportive services include a family resource center with community space, case management areas, employment training, and leadership development. Providing more than merely shelter, Wentworth Commons offers a healthy environment for its residents, greater long term affordability due to energy efficiency measures, and a facility that minimally impacts the City infrastructure. Wentworth provides sustainable supportive housing as a direct response to the needs of a low-income, minority community that has lost housing, businesses, and other economic resources. Wentworth's development by Mercy Housing Lakefront was supported by the community of Roseland from the very beginning, as demonstrated by an invitation from the local Alderman to develop the site. This was based on Mercy Housing's successful conversion of a neighborhood nursing home into a Single Room Occupancy facility. Incorporating sustainable design was an early goal for the project. This lead to a planning process structured around sustainability within the multi-disciplinary design team. During schematic design an eco-charrette was held with all team members in attendance, including the general contractor. In all of the subsequent coordination meetings the LEED Rating System remained a focal point throughout the design development and construction document phases. Wentworth's site, a former brownfield, was donated by the city of Chicago. The site faces commercial uses along 111th Street and residential uses along 110 th Place and Wentworth Avenue. The L-shaped building footprint establishes a strong street edge, while providing a secure backyard garden, sheltered from the bustle of the two main streets. The Wentworth's parking area incorporates a light colored paving system and the building's roof is highly reflective. These measures help to reduce the project's contribution to the urban heat island effect. The Wentworth is served by two major bus lines, one of which provides connections to a commuter rail station one mile east of the building. The project is pedestrian and bicycle friendly, with a permanent bike storage room on the ground floor for resident and staff use. The entry sequence at the ground floor provides a connection to the exterior and fosters resident/visitor education: As one enters through the security vestibule into the main lobby, glazing allows a visual connection through the building to the natural environment beyond. Programmed exterior spaces work in concert with the architecture, providing seating areas under a trellis and open space for children's play in the garden. Bridge platforms cross over a planted bio-swale where exposed filtering devices not only manage site water, but illustrate the cycle of water collection and conveyance. As the building occupants are mostly families and youth, these features will be used as an educational tool, integrating and exposing systems and cycles rarely experienced at this scale. The community surrounding the Wentworth site has been blighted for many years, prompting the project designers to establish a new aesthetic rather than draw from the immediate context. The resulting architecture expresses sustainability most notably in the 33kWh photovoltaic system supported by exposed trusses at the roof line, and the use of earth tones for the exterior masonry and the interior finishes. Twenty-six percent of the building products were manufactured within a 500 mile radius of the project, including all the exterior masonry. Rapidly renewable materials included cork flooring in the community spaces and wheatboard wainscot in all of the corridors. The wainscot also serves to improve the durability of the corridor walls. The Astra-glaze product that gives the exterior its lively color was in part selected because of its graffiti resistant properties. The building has permanent recycling rooms on each floor, and residents are encouraged to sort, newspapers, plastic, aluminum and glass. Asthma and other upper respiratory diseases are often an unfortunate characteristic of the "at-risk" population of Wentworth and this is further exacerbated by little or no access to proper healthcare. As such, improved Indoor Air Quality was sought through the specification of low emitting paints, sealants and adhesives. Wentworth's mechanical system is designed to be 28% more efficient than the Chicago Energy Conservation Code (earning 4 points in the LEED rating system). This will result in an annual energy savings of $20,000 to $25,000 based on year 2005 gas prices . Daylighting is maximized most notably in the double loaded corridors where borrowed light from the shared living rooms on each floor enters deep into the elevator lobbies. Additionally skylights were incorporated at the top floor. Wentworth was commissioned in compliance with LEED and a Building Automated System was specified to help maintain the systems over the long haul. The owner is also now seeking funding to further monitor this facility and compare it to their other facilities, where lesser levels of sustainability were incorporated. Lessons Learned from the architect - When sustainability is a goal, the importance of incorporating this as early as possible in the design process cannot be overstated. In the case of Wentworth, sustainability was identified during the feasibility study and we believe that this early commitment contributed to its success as a "green" building. At the end of the day we believe that good architects, by nature always want to improve on their next design. The fact that "constantly learning" is a part of the field is what draws many of us to it. In the case of the team for Wentworth, the developer/owner had that same attitude and this created a great synergy for taking on the budgetary challenges. We can easily point to aspects of Wentworth and say what we would do better next time, but for us there is a larger mission. And that mission is about changing the definition of affordable housing and the funding mechanisms for providing it. The fundamental flaw in today's definition of affordable is that it only applies to initial building cost. This definition needs to expand to include long term operating cost. Payback has to be part of the formula. If you have read this far then certainly the budget struggles for this type of real world project are all too apparent. Despite not having the economic luxuries that demonstration projects have, Wentworth joins a handful of other supportive housing projects (most of which are finding their way onto this website!) that are setting an example and raising the standard for this type of shelter to include sustainability. – Susan F. King, AIA, LEED AP, Architect for Wentworth Commons Jury Comments: The roof PV's are dynamic This is an eye catching, colorful project that meets LEED requirements and is 100% affordable Nice site design, a good example of low impact development.
Infill/ brownfield/adaptive re-use/high density Remediated site with compact building footprint. Owner allowed to change zoning to a higher density.
Locate near public transportation Two major bus lines at site with one of the lines connecting to a commuter rail station which is a mile east of the building.
Pedestrian/bicycle friendly A permanent room for bike storage is provded for residents and staff.
Daylighting For each floor, borrowed light from shared living areas at perimeter of building is brought deep into areas such as elevator lobbies and corridors.
Green roofs/cool roofs A reflective white roof was installed to reduce the urban heat island effect as well as cooling loads in the summer.
High Performance Building Envelope R-21 walls, R-43 roof, R-10 basement. Double glazed with low E coating windows.
Stormwater Management Two separate bio-swales collect water from surface parking lot and partial roof. Irrigation reduced through use of native plants.
Energy Efficiency Heating and Cooling Apartment common corridors served by an air-to- air heat recovery system which utilizes exhausted air to temper the supply of outside air. A control system optimizes equipment efficiency.
Energy Star Appliances/Lighting Through a state of Illinois program all lighting is fluorescent and energy star appliances were specified.
Renewable Energy A 33 KwH solar electricity system provides power for a portion of the building.
Recycled Content Materials or Recycling On Site Fly ash was specified in the concrete mix and rock wool, another post industrial by-product, was used in the exterior walls as insulation.
Limit Emissions/moisture/sound/allergens Low VOC paints, sealants and adhesives were used.
Commissioning Commissioned to meet LEED requirements, quality assurance is also provided with the installation of a building automated system to help maintain the systems over the long haul.

I managed to have the value from the date picker separate into different inputs using this code

$(function() {

 });
 $("#datepicker").datepicker({

 onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {

    //define select option values for
    //corresponding element
    $('select#month').val(month);
    $('select#day').val(day);
    $('select#year').val(year); }});

My problem now is that I must send the arrival and departure dates as mm/dd/yy and not as separate values. I'm not sure how to change the query string on submit

A: If I understand what you are trying to do correctly you could create the string like this:
 var datePieces = dateText.split('/');
var month = datePieces[0];
var day = datePieces[1];
var year = datePieces[2];
//define select option values for
//corresponding element
$('select#month').val(month);
$('select#day').val(day);
$('select#year').val(year); }});

return month + '/' + day + '/' + year;

WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HIGH SENSITIVITY?
Knowledge is power: knowing about your levels of sensitivity – and learning more about the trait and how it affects you personally – means you can (if you wish) start taking into account your sensitivity as you go about your daily life.
Dr Elaine Aron is perhaps the world's foremost expert on SPS, having first identified the trait in 1997 and researched it for the past twenty years. Dr Aron is a counselling psychologist and researcher, and has worked extensively with highly sensitive people in her clinical practice. She has written several excellent books which provide more in-depth information about SPS and offer plenty of practical suggestions to help develop your own self-care plan. Links to purchase Dr. Aron's books can be found on her website, along with a range of free resources e.g. research articles, and regular newsletters written by Dr Aron which you can subscribe to. Dr Aron also features in a documentary "Sensitive: The Movie" which has recently been released, where research findings on SPS are clearly explained by several researchers, and interviews conducted are with people who have high levels of sensitivity themselves. There is a Facebook page for the movie, and it occasionally posts other relevant information and material. Dr Aron also writes a blog for Psychology Today titled "Attending to the Undervalued Self" where you can read a number of articles which are geared toward those high in sensitivity.
Dr Ted Zeff is another counselling psychologist who specialises in working with highly sensitive people - in particular, highly sensitive men and boys. He has authored several books on the trait of High Sensitivity which are available - along with other resources - from his website.
Dr Tracy Cooper has researched highly sensitive people and careers, and writes a blog on the high-sensation-seeking highly sensitive person. Dr Cooper has authored two books on these topics which are available through his website (where you can also read his blog).
Another useful resource is the UK-based National Center for High Sensitivity, which was founded by a therapist, Barbara Allen-Williams, who has worked extensively with HSPs. This website also includes free resources, along with an optional monthly newsletter subscription, and associated Facebook page.
Have I been self-critical regarding aspects of my sensitivity?
What is my inner dialogue regarding aspects of sensitivity? Do I want to start thinking differently (or rearrange my mental furniture, so to speak) and begin learning to accept and value my sensitivity?
Can I make some small changes to start developing a self-care plan for myself?
How much time am I willing to set aside to learn more/accept and value my sensitivity/create a self-care plan each day/week?


The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today provided a checklist to help taxpayers choose a qualified, honest, and timely tax professional.
While the overwhelming majority of paid preparers are honest and competent, some unethical preparers will use their access to sensitive taxpayer information to prey on unsuspecting New Yorkers to line their own pockets.
Friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers may be able to refer you to an ethical and competent tax preparer.
Meet with all the tax professionals you're considering hiring. It's important to know if they've worked with others in similar tax situations, how long they've been preparing returns, and how you'll communicate moving forward.
You can also read reviews from previous clients, if available. This will help you get a sense of the quality of the preparer's work, their timeliness, and customer service.
New York State registered preparers must meet continuing education requirements and minimum qualifications. Attorneys, certified public accountants, and IRS enrolled agents aren't required to register, but do have other professional requirements. Ask to see the preparer's registration certificate or proof that he or she isn't required to register. You can also verify that a tax preparer is registered online.
Ask to see a list of fees up front. The fees should be directly related to the services provided and not the refund amount. Tax preparers in New York City are required to display their fees, as well as their credentials, in plain sight. Also, by law, preparers cannot charge to e-file in New York State.
A refund should never be deposited into a preparer's bank account. The fastest and safest way to receive your refund is to have it directly deposited into your bank account.
It's critical your private information is protected. Question any potential preparer about how your sensitive data will be safeguarded, as well as how many people will have access to your files.
Never hire a preparer who won't sign your return, and never sign a return before it's fully prepared. You and your preparer must both sign your completed return. Preparers must include their federal preparer tax identification number (PTIN) or Social Security number on the return, and either their New York State registration number or exclusion code.
Beware of preparers who say they will prepare your return for a percentage of the refund. If a tax preparer won't provide information about fees, this should tip you off that something isn't right. Never hire a preparer who promises a large refund without reviewing your information, and steer clear of those who suggest you claim a bogus deduction or credit.
In the end, you're responsible for the information on your return and can be held accountable if it's inaccurate or fraudulent.


Where to start? I never thought I would be here! I am in a flare and don't know how to get out! I have a wonderful Chiropractor that took me seriously! She helped me diagnose this! Do I need a primary? I need help with this flare and don't know what to do! Help anyone?
I pushed the botton twice! lololololol WAI!!!
I would go to your PCP and hopefully she/he understands FMS. Take warm baths. They help and take it easy until the flare up dies down. If you have pain meds stay on them as directed. IF not, try advil if you can. Hope I helped a little.
Get to a family Doctor who believes in FMS. That will help you the most. If they don't believe in fms then look for another doctor.
I would go to your primary and feel them out on the issue. I would suggest getting a referral to a rhemotologist. They tend to be better in treating the Fibro symptoms. At least that has been my experience.
Yes, you definitely need a doc who actually believes in this illness. Some moron drs think this is all psychological. Do not fall into that trap, get someone well versed on this.
Also, DOCUMENTATION is key. This illness has an entire host of ailments that can literally change from day to day. Write all these down. Bec once you feel better, you dismiss the pain.
Also, try real hard not to overdo it. We tend to have good spells, and then go overboard trying to clean, run errands, and everything else. Resist that, bec your body gets revenge on you when you do that, and you could be down from days to weeks.
I also use those Thera Care heat wrap thingies at walmart. They work like a dream. The only beef I have with them, is they dont always stay in place so I would cheat and use medical waterproof tape to keep it in place. Otherwise once you perspire, the damn things wanna come off.
Rest helps me, and is usually the only thing that will get me out of it. Yesterday I started a flare up and I could tell, because I was brain dead!! Today, I have only been out of bed since my kids have come home from school. After a couple of days of rest, I get back to my normal pain and fatigue (which at least is treatable to a certain extent). You definitely need a medical dr. who will be able to prescribe you meds when needed. Most primarys know very little about fibro, so find one that seems caring and willing to help you manage the symptoms. Where I am, rheumatologists only diagnose fibro, and then they tell you to see a primary dr. or go to a pain clinic. I have a family dr who has been helpful just by admitting that she doesn't know much about fibro, but is willing to help me manage the symptoms. I sure hope your flare goes away soon!! Take care!!
I'll go ahead and warn you that unless you are seriously lucky, it will be a bit difficult to find a GP that believes in FMS and has the background of experience in it. I have found alot of people, including me, have best luck with DOs so maybe you should look into those in your area.
Also, the first year is the hardest so I have been told. I agree; I'm still in mine. lol. This is a hard disease to deal with and you could possibly encounter those who think you are lazy or whatever. They cannot possibly understand the pain, so try not to let it go to heart.
And remember we are always here.
The social security administration has declared it a legitamate disability in 1989. Many drs I believe, do believe in it, but for many, because of not knowing the origin of the disease (the why), they may have a hard time with wanting to treat you since many of the treatments are pain meds, and most reg. doctors don't know much about treating chronic pain. I really think you need to find someone that will work with you and find out if they are comfortable with treating chronic pain. There are "pain" doctors out there, I believe they are called Psysiatrist (spelling??). Many of them treat fibromyalgia patients all of the time. I sure wish you the best. Let us know k?
Find out if there is a support group in your area. After have FM for about 13 years, I finally went to my first one last month. It helps to know that you aren't alone. I found a book there "Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain - A survival Manual 2nd edition...written by Devin Starlanyl. It is one of the best books that I have read on the subject and offers so much information and support. Good luck!
I agree, try not to over do it, and also those Thermo care heat wraps are great. I too have trouble getting them to stay in place.
I didn't have any luck finding a primary care physician who was supportive. I had to go to a Rheumatologist to find support.
Try to stay calm and as stress free as possible. I know when your in a flare it's easier said than done.


Veteran defenceman Ross Green will return for his 11th season in Milton Keynes as Lewis Clifford's seventh signing for the 2018-19 NIHL South season.
The Milton Keynes native broke into the MK Lightning lineup in the 2008 EPL playoffs aged 16 and went on to play 388 games in an MKL jersey before joining Thunder in 2016.
"I'm really happy to be returning for the 2018-19 season," Green said. "I enjoyed the challenge that last year brought with the ex-EPL teams joining the league.
Returning second-year head coach Clifford shared many seasons with the 26-year-old in his role as Assistant Coach with MK Lightning and is happy to have Green back for 2018-19.
"Players like Ross are the foundation and backbone of this team," Clifford said. "I never even considered not having him on my team, so I'm glad I was able to get him back for another season.
"Ross is a massive part of everything we do here, he's a solid D man with great skating ability, and he is always in top shape, he cares for the team and the jersey and he wants to do his best for the club every time he steps on the ice.
Ross has a lot of experience, he's been around for a long time, not because he's old but because he started playing senior hockey when he was a very young man, that experience helps him to take other youngsters under his wing and help them to make the transition to playing senior hockey the right way.
Green himself is excited for his third consecutive season with Thunder and fourth overall and has seen the club grow in stature and progress from the third tier to the second division.
The D-man made 29 league appearances last season recording eight points alongside some young teammates who he's looking forward to seeing in larger roles this campaign.
"I'm expecting to see some big performances from the likes of Rio, Lordy, and Stratty who gained a lot of experience from playing in the league and playing under Cliff last year," Green said.


Well, we had band practice again last night. I ended up burning the recording from last night (and the practice before that) to CD. I was a bit off all night last night—my timing was really bad last night. Not sure why either, I had practice a couple of times over the past couple of days. I had a bit of a headache last night, so maybe that contributed to things. Regardless, when we play out live I can't afford to have off nights.
PS - "Love Pump" isn't the actual name of the band—we still haven't decided on a name—it's just our joke reference from the movie "This Is Spinal Tap."

The North Dakota Oil Boom Now Pays for College
By Maureen Mackey, The Fiscal Times
Location, location, location. That's long been the mantra of real estate agents everywhere. Now, it turns out, that applies to a college education.
All high school graduates in Williams County, North Dakota, are eligible for a full ride to two-year Williston State College starting in fall of 2015 - including fees and books - the college announced this week. Students must attend full time (taking 12-18 credit hours per semester) and stay in good academic standing. Even local high school graduates from earlier years qualify.
Related: How to Find a Job in the North Dakota Oil Boom
This opportunity is due to several wells of support in oil-rich North Dakota - the Alva J. Field Memorial Trust, which is donating $1 million; the state itself, which is contributing $500,000; and the Williston State College Foundation, which in the past seven years has seen its balance sheet grow from roughly $7.5 million to $27 million.
"A lot of that is oil revenue," Terry Olson, director of the foundation and interim president of Williston State College, told AP. The same oil boom that has created high-paying jobs for able-bodied adults has also created a need for nurses, managers, accountants and others, Olson added – "everything else that goes along with a booming environment."
The scholarship is "an extraordinary opportunity" for local high school graduates, said North Dakota Lieutenant Governor Drew Wrigley in a statement announcing the program. Current in-state residents pay $150.27 per credit hour for tuition and fees at Williston State, which offers associate degrees in everything from finance to welding technology and residential carpentry technology. The campus occupies 80 acres in Williston, in northwestern North Dakota, site of the current shale boom.
Related: Cracks in the Armor of North Dakota's Fracking Boom
Bakken Shale, the state's main oil-producing reservoir, contains billions of barrels of crude, which has enabled North Dakota to become the second largest oil-producing state in the nation surpassing Alaska and California, the Energy Information Administration said recently. In April, North Dakota produced 30 million barrels of oil – the same amount it produced in all of 2004. Fracking – or hydraulic fracturing – uses highly pressurized water to force both crude oil and natural gas from the shale deep below the Earth.
Oil production in the Bakken is estimated to keep rising until about 2020, then level off and begin to decline. So while it may pay to graduate from high school in the northwest corner of North Dakota and attend Williston State for free, it may also pay to do it now – before the boom goes bust.

IU Southeast Local Policies & Procedures
While we follow central policies regarding the use of technology, there are some local policies developed by the IU Southeast administration. These were created to address local concerns and procedures.
Here are IU Southeast-specific policies:
IU Southeast Mass Email Procedures
Adopted April 1, 2019
Regardless of the purpose, if you are considering mass mailing, be sensitive to the fact that IU community members may not wish to receive unsolicited email that has nothing to do with their duties or mission at IU. The volume of spam is such that there simply is not time to deal with unnecessary email from IU senders as well.
Aside from alienating constituents from overuse of email accounts, all university emails sent to a group of recipients are subject to the FTC Can-Spam Act, which regulates numerous aspects of the messages and ability of recipients to opt out of further messaging. The Act imposes penalties up to $41,484 per email violation, potential imprisonment and potential suspension of the ability to send emails by the university.
You should use targeted methods to reach those who have a particular need to receive your communications (for example, targeted mailing lists, Salesforce, requests for information from your website), rather than using mass methods that may reach people who have nothing to do with your office or have no interest in your service.
At IU Southeast, mass email questions should be sent to the Director of Marketing & Communications or the Vice Chancellor of Advancement.
Mass Email: Any unsolicited email, or group of emails, sent to a significant fraction of any of the communities – faculty, students, or staff – of the IUS campus.
Mass emails sent to the officially administered mass email lists must directly relate to and facilitate the teaching and learning, research, or service missions of the University and must be relevant to the mailing list members. All mass emails that are sent to officially administered mass email lists must be approved by the appropriate University officers, as described below.
Outlook Email: Email composed and sent from the Microsoft Outlook client. Can be plain text or HTML. Anyone can create this and send if they have access to the "all" list or a targeted list of names.
Salesforce Email: Sent from the Salesforce CRM, email can be HTML text or formatted with graphics. Requires more lead time and only designated and trained individuals have access.
Officially Administered Mass Email Lists: Email distribution lists derived from the official IU database of faculty, students, and staff, often referred to as "all" lists, which are made available to the offices of the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellors, and selected departments such as Facility Operations and Human Resources.
Personal and Commercial Emails: Mass emails that are personal, political, or commercial in nature will not be distributed to the lists mentioned above unless they are in support of University business and have been approved following the procedures outline below.
Content and Format of Mass Emails
Mass emails sent to the lists described above should be concise and to the point and should make minimal use of embedded graphics and attachments. These emails must:
Clearly identify the sending entity of the email (e.g., in the From: field)
Clearly specify an email address to which replies can be sent (e.g., in the Reply To: field)—preferably an organizational, rather than a personal, email address
Contain a meaningful description of the email (e.g., in the Subject: field)
Mask the email addresses of the individual recipients of the mailing (e.g., in the BCC: field).
Outlook or Salesforce?
Reasons to use Outlook:
On-campus recipients only
Time-sensitive (Outlook is faster)
Minimal images
(but not just an image without verbiage)
Reasons to use Salesforce:
Unsolicited, external emails or approved combinations of internal and external recipients
Message tracking analytics
No attachments
Newsletters and graphical content
Approvals Based On Audience
Requests for distribution of mass emails must be directed to the following officers, or their designees, depending on the largest intended audience of the electronic communication.
Students—the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs
Faculty—the Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
Staff—the Vice Chancellor of Administrative Affairs
All Campus (Faculty & Staff)—any of the Vice Chancellors
Alumni—the Alumni Director
Donors—Vice Chancellor of Advancement
These approvers must be contacted for both Outlook and Salesforce mass emails.
In addition, Human Resources, Facility Operations, University Police, and UITS all have access to "all" lists of faculty and staff for certain types of notifications.
E-mailing lists
Those individuals or groups desiring access to these lists must receive approval from the appropriate office.
Lists provided through other sources cannot be used.
Lists for faculty, staff and students are automatically kept up-to-date within IU systems.
Current alumni lists must be requested from the Alumni Director. Allow up to ten business days for such lists to be compiled.
Contacts for Salesforce Emails
Requests for Salesforce emails should be submitted via web form here.
Other IU Policies Pertaining to Email
Use of Electronic Mail
Inventory Procedures Governing Computer Equipment Assets
IU Southeast has strict procedures for tracking computer assets, which include desktop computers, laptops and tablets..
All computer equipment moves must be performed by the UITS staff so that the records associated with this equipment inventory remain accurate. Requests for moves may be submitted via phone (941-2447), email (helpdesk@ius.edu) or web form (IT Support Request).
Accounting Services at IU Southeast will no longer approve orders to purchase computer equipment without the approval and signoff of the UITS team. UITS will ensure that all future computer equipment orders are in compliance with the requirements spelled out in university policy. UITS can order the equipment on your behalf, inventory the equipment, and set it up. For more information on the policies, please see policies 12, 12.1 and 28 at the University Policy Office webpage.
What to do with Lost, Unusable or Unwanted USB Flash Drives
To protect our campus community from the risk of personal and institutional data theft, IU policy requires that we all follow these steps regarding USB flash drives:
Any drive found around campus should be turned in to the University Police office, where it will be kept for 30 days to give the owner a chance to reclaim. After 30 days, the drive will be taken to IT and destroyed.
Dead, broken or unwanted USB flash drives should be taken to the UITS Help Desk in US 212, where they will be destroyed. Do not simply throw them into the trash.
Instead of USB flash drives, IU recommends using Box cloud storage. Box provides unlimited no-cost storage space to every IU student, faculty or staff member, that is accessible from any web-enabled device. It is secure and, best of all, you can't accidentally leave it behind!
To learn more about Box, see this Knowledge Base article, About Box at IU.
If you have questions about a USB flash drive please contact the Support Center at (812) 941-2447 or helpdesk@ius.edu.
Employee Cell Phone Policy
An Indiana University policy approved by the Board of Trustees (fiscal policy I–480), effective July 1st 2005, requires employees who have a university-provided cell phone, in many cases, to acquire personal cell phone service and arrange for university reimbursement. The new procedure will allow employees to select their cell phone carrier of choice.
IU Southeast will reimburse employees for one cell phone and an average amount of monthly service fees. Telephone Services will determine the average monthly service charge each year. Employees who carry a cell phone for university business will receive additional pay in this amount each month.
The following are excluded from this policy:
Departmental Phones: A departmental phone is a shared phone that does not leave the campus and is turned in by each employee at the end of his/her shift. Departmental phones are not impacted by this policy.
Two-Way Radio Phones: This includes communication devices where phone service is not enabled and only two-way radio function, or push-to-talk capabilities, are enabled.
The process to acquire reimbursement for cell phone service is as follow:
Employee must complete a request for cell phone reimbursement form and route it to their department head. The Director of Accounting services will be copied on the request.
Human Resources contacts employee to have condition contract signed. Route sheet and contract are filed in Human Resources.
Employee obtains personal contract with vendor of choice and brings Department Head a copy of the receipt for hardware and service agreement.
Department Head notifies Human Resources of total hardware amount and service agreement. Notification must include exact amount.
Reimbursement is set up via E-Doc in the payroll system by Human Resources.
Before reimbursement is set up, employee must agree with all below conditions of reimbursement and sign condition contract.
For 2005 – 2006, the base reimbursement rate for cell phone service will be $39.99 per month, and base reimbursement rate for a Blackberry device will be $64.99 per month. Reimbursement will be grossed up to counter income tax effects. These amounts are reviewed annually.
Base rates are for a standard cell phone and Blackberry services. Any additional features will be at the expense of employee unless the employee's department head determines that a business need exists.
In case of termination of employment for any reason, department will pay deactivation fee for cell phone contract if employee cancels plan within 30 days of termination of employment.
Employee is required to acquire insurance for any assets related to plan. A base insurance rate of $5.99 will be reimbursed.
If employee goes over allotted minutes of plan, reimbursement will be available if itemized bill is submitted and audited by department head.
Upgrades of any assets related to phone will not be reimbursable to employee unless department head determines that a business need exists.
Any damage to plan assets is not reimbursable unless department head determines extraordinary situation exists.
Complaints concerning violations of this or other administrative policies should be sent to webadmaf@ius.edu or webit@ius.edu.
Email as an Official Means of Communication
Effective July 1, 2004, electronic mail (email) became an official means of communication with IU Southeast students. This campus policy is in accordance with the Indiana University Policy on Use of Email as Official Correspondence with Students adopted on December 10, 2003. Students benefit by receiving timely, accurate, and up-to-date communication about matters including, but not limited to:
billing notification
university policy statements
university services and events
degree completion and/or graduation
To set up your email account, visit the Account Management website and follow the instructions on the screen. If you encounter any problems please visit the IT Help Desk in University Center 212, stop by the staffed Student Technology Centers in Crestview 112 or Knobview 207, or call the Support Center at 941-2447.
A student's failure to receive or read official university communications sent to the student's official email address does not absolve the student from knowing and complying with the content of the official communication.
The university provides a simple mechanism for students to forward email from the official university email address to another email address of the student's choice at the Account Management website. Students who choose to have their IU Southeast email forwarded to another email address do so at their own risk. The University is not responsible for any difficulties that may occur in the proper or timely transmission of, or access to, email forwarded to an unofficial email address, and any such problems will not absolve a student of their responsibility to know and comply with the content of official email communications sent to the student's official IU email address.
View the full text of the IU Policy on Use of Email as Official Correspondence with Students »
Students should check their university email accounts frequently.
Student Technology Fee Guidelines
The Student Technology Fee (STF) is used to directly support information technology services available to students. General purpose services are typically available to all students or support an important campus priority for undergraduates. These typically include the computers, networks, software, and staff support for undergraduates, regardless of their major, and provide the foundation upon which schools can build discipline-specific or unique, distinctive offerings.

Unjustified enrichment has been one of the most intellectually vital areas of private law. There is, however, still no unanimity among civil-law and common-law legal systems about how to structure this important branch of the law of obligations. Several key issues are considered comparatively in this 2002 book, including grounds for recovery of enrichment, defences, third-party enrichment, as well as proprietary and taxonomic questions. Two contributors deal with each topic, one a representative of a common-law system, the other a representative of a civil-law or mixed system. This approach illuminates not just similarities or differences between systems, but also what different systems can learn from one another. In an area of law whose territory is still partially uncharted and whose borders are contested, such comparative perspectives will be valuable for both academic analysis of the law and its development by the courts.
Conventional thinking teaches that the absence of liability - in particular contractual invalidity - is itself the reason for the restitution of transfers in the South African law of unjustified enrichment. However, this book argues that while the absence of a relationship of indebtedness is a necessary condition for restitution in such cases, it is not a sufficient condition. The book takes as its focus those instances in which the invalidity thesis is strongest, namely, those traditionally classified as instances of the condictio indebiti, the claim to recover undue transfers. It seeks to demonstrate that in all such instances it is necessary for the plaintiff to show not only the absence of his liability to transfer but also a specific reason for restitution, such as mistake, compulsion or incapacity. Furthermore, this book explores the reasons for the rise of unjust factors in South African law, attributing this development in part to the influence of the Roman-Dutch restitutio in integrum, an extraordinary, equitable remedy that has historically operated independently of the established enrichment remedies of the civilian tradition, and which even now remains imperfectly integrated into the substantive law of enrichment. Finally, the book seeks to defend in principled terms the mixed approach to enrichment by transfer (an approach based both on unjust factors and on the absence of a legal ground) which appears to characterise modern South African law. It advocates the rationalisation of the causes of action comprised within the condictio indebiti, many of which are subject to additional historically-determined requirements, in light of this mixed analysis.
Commercial relationships give rise to diverse forms of legal obligation in private law, including contract, tort, agency, company law and partnership. More controversially, equity and the law of restitution have a less defined and somewhat ambulatory role in regulating the affairs of commercial parties. Nevertheless, their impact is manifest in the commercial arena through the distinct types of liability they engender and the remedies that are imposed. This collection draws together the views of leading international scholars and judges to explore the nature and extent of this impact from two perspectives. Five chapters primarily address this impact at a macro-level, focusing on the roles of equity and the law of restitution in terms of legal taxonomy, doctrine and policy. In contrast, five further chapters primarily address this impact at a micro-level, focusing on selected liabilities and remedies within equity and the law of restitution. This bifocal approach enables a holistic appreciation of some important ways in which equity and the law of restitution affect or may affect commerce, with a view to fostering further debate over the fundamental issues at stake.
Acclaim for the first edition: ïThis is a very important and immense book. . . The Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law is a treasure-trove of honed knowledge of the laws of many countries. It is a reference book for dipping into, time and time again. It is worth every penny and there is not another as comprehensive in its coverage as ElgarÍs. I highly recommend the Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law to all English chambers. This is a very important book that should be sitting in every university law school library.Í _ Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer Containing newly updated versions of existing entries and adding several important new entries, this second edition of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law takes stock of present-day comparative law scholarship. Written by leading authorities in their respective fields, the contributions in this accessible book cover and combine not only questions regarding the methodology of comparative law, but also specific areas of law (such as administrative law and criminal law) and specific topics (such as accident compensation and consideration). In addition, the Encyclopedia contains reports on a selected set of countriesÍ legal systems and, as a whole, presents an overview of the current state of affairs. Providing its readers with a unique point of reference, as well as stimulus for further research, this volume is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in comparative law, especially academics, students and practitioners.
This work concerns the law of restitution and contains a wide selection of extracts from the basic texts and commentaries. The materials are chosen and ordered so as to foster comparative study, prefaced by comparative introductions and complemented with annotations.
Compiled in honour of Bernard Rudden, this is a book of essays in comparative law centering on the contribution which comparative analysis can make to the core subjects of private law, namely property and obligations. The essays are contributed by leading academics from all over the world, all of whom owe an intellectual debt to the honorand. The book is intended for practitioners, academics and students of comparative law and private law, in particular in the fields of property and obligations.
'Restitution for wrongs', or 'restitutionary damages', is the judicial award which compels the wrongdoer to give up to the victim the benefit obtained through the perpetration of the wrong, independently of any loss suffered by the victim. The establishment of a civil trial in Roman law, which left compensation as the main response, and a widespread, loss-centred interpretation of the Aristotelian theory of corrective justice explain, but do not justify the difficulties encountered by modern attempts to account for restitutionary damages. Mistakes in the classification of this institution have complicated the picture. To overcome some of these problems, this study considers the basic structure of restitutionary damages from different angles. In part one, the topic is analysed from a comparative perspective. Although the focus remains on English law, the German, the Italian and the Roman jurisdictions provide research data which, in part two, support the development of a theory of restitution for wrongs as corrective justice.

Simon Cowell Puts An End To 2020 With A Large Scar On His Back Following E-Bike Injury
Bridget Hill
Credit: Source: CheatSheet.com
Simon Cowell is certainly one of the biggest television stars to ever appear on the screen, first coming to prominence in a big way back in the early 2000s with his co-starring role on American Idol. Cowell has created many shows and has also served as the executive producer, however, that doesn't mean he's infallible to tragedy and other accidents.
Fans of Simon know he recently got himself into a serious accident on an E-bike. In fact, the reality television show host broke his spine in several places and had to get extensive surgery on it just so he could walk again.
Page Six says there exists a new photograph in which Simon's scars can be clearly seen. According to the outlet, Simon was spotted on a yacht in Barbados this week just a few months after the bike accident that left him nearly paralyzed. Page Six says Simon busted his back in not one but three places.
Simon reportedly had to undergo a six-hour surgical procedure in which doctors had nearly cut his spinal cord. The experience almost left Simon in a wheelchair, however, he managed to get better with a rigorous exercise routine, including walking 10,000 steps per day in conjunction with frequent swimming sessions.
A post shared by @simoncowell
Reportedly, the American Idol star is thinking about filing a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the E-bike, Swind . Sources previously explained how Simon had been injured while showing off the bike to some of his kids.
Insiders said that the e-bike manufacturer was more than aware of the dangers posed by their product, however, they never bothered to show Simon how to operate the vehicle that is reported to be able to go 60 miles per hour.
In other words, the e-bike isn't just a regular e-bike; it has a lot of power and torque, and it's supposedly very easy for someone to get injured on it if they don't know what they're doing. Regarding his role on the popular series, America's Got Talent, Howie Mandel said earlier this year that Simon would be back on the show in no time.

Adventure Science center adds changing monthly science themes, new programs, and extended operating hours starting this July.
Adventure Science Center is an independent, not-for-profit science center in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee.
Adventure Science Center is excited to announce a new monthly lineup of events and programming designed to engage audiences of all ages and a new schedule starting this July. Highlights of these changes include 12 different monthly themes exploring a variety of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics-related topics (STEAM) through creative daily programming, activities, guest speakers, and labs. The science center will stay open late every second Saturday, increasing access for guests and time to explore. The last Saturday of the month, guests can enjoy a variety of drop-in labs that allow guests to participate in hands-on science individually or with friends and family.
"The new programs and schedules are representative of the many exciting changes and innovative projects going on at Adventure Science Center. We're always looking for ways to improve our unique experience, to keep it relevant, and to inspire people to embrace science in new ways," said Steve Hinkley, President & CEO.
All events and programs listed below begin July 1, 2018, unless otherwise noted.
These blowout science celebrations will launch the new STEAM theme of the month with special hands-on activities, Science Live! demonstrations, games, and activities by special community partners. Super Science Saturdays kick off the month-long exploration of each topic, helping guests further explore the month's theme and highlighting community businesses, institutions, and partners. All activities and demonstrations are free with the price of admission, unless otherwise noted on the website.
The science center will remain open until 10pm on these dates (an extra 5 hours) to allow guests more time and access to all the exhibits and activities. From 6:30pm to 10pm, Sudekum Planetarium will continue to offer the popular Second Saturday live shows, documentary-style features, and laser shows, but with the added option of museum exploration until 10pm. Regular daily museum admission and planetarium show pricing will continue through the evening, but evening guests can purchase additional planetarium shows for the discounted price of $5.
These casual, hands-on science labs will feature a variety of activities and require no pre-registration or additional fees beyond museum admission. Guests can drop in alone or with friends and family to enjoy a more in-depth exploration of the month's theme. Each lab will offer a variety of activities in a range of levels to provide every guest with a chance to engage, create, and learn something new. Family Fun Labs are included with the price of admission to the science center.
Adventure Science Center is turning up the volume on its typical summer series in Sudekum Planetarium by offering laser shows every afternoon Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Some highlights in the lineup include Laser Country during CMA Music Fest, Laser Pride during Nashville Pride Festival and on the first-ever LGBTSTEM Day, and Laser America on Independence Day. Additional ticket purchase required.
Beginning June 2, guests who purchase general admission or combination tickets onsite two hours prior* to the science center closing will enjoy free general admission to the science center on the following day. To redeem this special offer, guests will need to show their admission receipt from the prior day.
*Twilight Special will begin at 3pm, except on Second Saturdays when it will begin at 8pm. Free admission is only valid for the day after the date the ticket was purchased.
Along with all of these new offerings, Adventure Science Center Members can take advantage of a special new perk – members-only museum hours. From 8:30 to 10am, members can enjoy an exclusive opportunity to explore the exhibitions before the science center opens to the public at 10am.
Yoga Under the Stars in Sudekum Planetarium is also held on the last Saturdays of the month. Non-Member yoga attendees' access will continue to be limited to Sudekum Planetarium only.

Who is the most underrated Cougar?
An offensive lineman gets my vote.
By Scott Cresswell Jul 14, 2016, 5:00am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Who is the most underrated Cougar?
Scott Olmos-USA TODAY Sports
Trying to figure who the most underrated player is on a team is a tricky thing. If somebody thinks you're good are you truly underrated? And once you start getting hype for being underrated do you become overrated? With all that in mind, I have found a player who named to the AP's first team All Pac-12 team last year who has gotten zero publicity as far as I can tell going into next season for a top 25 team. Hard to imagine right?
That player's name is Eduardo Middleton. The senior guard received All-Conference mention last year and yet somehow did not even crack my top ten players for WSU list I put out a couple of weeks ago. Heck, I even put a redshirt freshman who hasn't played yet ahead of him. Well, time to make up for this egregious oversight by shining the spotlight on Mr. Middleton.
As was mentioned, Middleton was surprise addition to the All Pac-12 team by the AP. Some advanced metrics back this selection up though, as according to Pro Football Focus he only allowed 2 sacks and graded out well as a run blocker. PFF honored Middleton with an All-Pac 12 second team spot.
Normally a senior with these types of honors coming into the season would be a lock for All-Conference recognition or even some All-American talk, but we seem to be hearing crickets when it comes to Middleton. It's probably a combination of the anonymity of the position and Pullman not being a media hotbed. Middleton was never a touted recruit or a "player on the rise" either. Cole Madison seems to be taking most of the pre-season hype for the offensive line, even though he is not as decorated. He did have a higher recruiting profile, plays a more glamourous position on the line and has NFL draft hype as well. Upside sometimes seems to matter more than previous performance when it comes to players getting media hype.
Let's just not forget about our excellent right guard as look forward to next season.

The essay deals mainly with Obama and his autobiography Dreams of my Father, arguing that Obama echoes the self-reliant attitude of Booker T. Washington in Up from Slavery and rejects W.E.B. DuBois's The Souls of Black Folk.
Having recently read Up from Slavery, I found myself disagreeing with Taylor on many points. I haven't read Dreams of My Father, and I'm like three pages into The Souls of Black Folk, so I'm not able to comment on the whole essay; but, maybe once I'm finished with DuBois, I'll revisit the essay and see what else I have to say.
The writer does not see why a "whites only" fountain and a "Negroes only" fountain can't be "separate but equal." Of course the Supreme Court's turn of phrase meant to connote segregation. It was a code for white superiority and Black inferiority. Facilities and institutions have tended to be unequal. But Booker T. Washington and his disciples have insisted upon the denotation of "separate but equal:" equity. They took the Supreme Court at its word. Their complaint, for example, was not that schools were separate, but that they were separate and inferior, with shorter terms than those of white children, nor were public school funds equitably distributed.
The zero-sum game that is American politics had morphed from slavery, which ended in 1863, into Jim Crow segregation, less blatant since the 1960s, but still ongoing. The civil rights activists thought to solve the problem by means of integration: Black society assimilating into white society in order to bring about social equality. Booker T. Washington had a better idea. In his Atlanta Exposition Address he said, "In all things purely social we can be separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress." He meant to build up Black society as a parallel civilization, with Tuskegee as its prototype. Malcolm X captured what Booker T. was up to when he distinguished "separation" from "segregation." He said, "Segregation is that which is forced upon inferiors by superiors; separation is done voluntarily by two equals." He went on to describe Black control of politics, of economics, of business, and of civic organization as criteria for separation as opposed to segregation.
When Taylor discusses Washington, she uses words like "manhood," "equity," and "independence." In particular, she focuses on Washington's push for self-reliance in Up from Slavery, and Taylor argues that he wanted to build up an equal, independent black society right up beside the white's society.
That's not the way I read it. True, Washington is arguing for self-reliance; he harps upon it constantly, using the example of the students at Tuskegee making their own bricks and building their own buildings. To have a solid foundation, you have to be self-reliant, Washington says. Yet, at the same time, Washington criticizes those blacks who want to learn Greek, Latin or obtain any other kind of education in the classics. When he does this, it's as if he's a flashing yellow traffic light in each of their faces: slow down, don't catch up to the white man too fast. He — the white man — scares easy.
In other words, Washington wants blacks to be self-reliant, but only when it comes to bricks. Not medicine. Not law. Don't reach too far, or else they'll slap your wrists.
Sure, I definitely believe that Washington was trying to be realistic. Let's think about the times. There's the Klan, there's a lot of poor whites seething in rage at black men moving right from the shackles of slavery into local politics, there's a whole race of people who can't get farther than 10 miles up the road from their former owners, if that. And, while some people read Washington as a power-hungry white (black) man, I think he was geniunely acting in the only way he thought his race could overcome their history. He created an institution, from the ground up, that offered education to people who could only dream of it before.
But to say that Washington created a program that would allow blacks to obtain indepence from whites, that they would be equal with them: I cannot agree with that. Washington might have wanted progress for his fellow blacks, but was he really obtaining it? One could argue no — in fact, he set them back. Tuskegee taught students to make bricks, to farm land, to repair clothes: it continued an education in doing the white man's work — something former slaves were well acquainted with! Washington's institution pre-packaged new workers, with the illusion of self-reliance, and sent them out to work below the white man. And this made them economically indispensible; so please, white man, realize you need us and eventually, when you're used to the idea, we'll learn some Latin. What progress.

Happy Hanukkah 2023: Meaning, Traditions, Images & History
Leave a Comment / Festivals / By admin
Happy Hanukkah 2023: Meaning, Traditions, Images & History- The Jewish holiday of lights, Hanukkah, occurs near the conclusion of each academic year. Hanukkah lasts 8 days and serves as a time when Jewish congregants meet with family as well as reflect on such a miracle that occurred many years ago. It occasionally overlaps with Christmas and sometimes falls closer to Thanksgiving.
The celebration is distinguished by the lighting of something like the menorah — the nine-point candelabra with such a new flame lighted each night — and is distinctive in its prayers as well as traditions.

How do Jews celebrate Happy Hanukkah 2023?
Hanukkah dishes
This year's Hanukkah begins on Sunday, December 18. The holiday is observed from nightfall on December 18 to sundown on December 26.
Eight. The celebration of lights lasts eight days and eight nights, beginning on the evening of December 18 and ending on the evening of December 26.
Happy Hanukkah 2023 means "dedication" in Hebrew. Though the occasion is commonly referred to as the Celebration of Lights, it also serves as the Celebration of Rededication, commemorating the triumph of the Maccabeefighter's so over the Syrian Greek force.
The Maccabees, led by Judah, regained the Holy Temple of Jerusalem as well as rededicated that to their God in their victory. They only had enough oil to light the temple lights for one night, but it lasted eight days.
This is known as the wonder of Hannukah in the Jewish faith, and families celebrate it every year throughout the eight-day holiday. Each night, a light on the "menorah" but rather "hanukkiah" is lit to represent the one that burnt in the Sacred Temple far too many years ago.
Hanukkah, the Jewish celebration of the lights, is believed to represent a miracle. It represents resiliency and the restoration of an ancient Jewish temple that had been taken. It represents a holiday centered on rededication to God and a little amount of oil lighting light for longer days than no one could imagine.
Hanukkah is observed throughout eight days to commemorate the wonder of an oil light that had only enough oil to burn one day during the Maccabee army regained the Holy Temple at Jerusalem but miraculously burned for eight days.
The Hebrew Calendar, not really the Gregorian calendar, determines the dates of Hanukkah. Every year, the festival is commemorated at different times. The beginning of Hanukkah always falls on the 25th of Kislev just on the lunisolar Hebrew calendar, which is based on the motions of the sun as well as the moon.
Everywhere there is a Jewish community, there are Happy Hanukkah 2023 celebrations. Hanukkah is a worldwide holiday. Depending on the family and sect, traditions can change.
In addition to the menorah lighting, Hanukkah is observed with customary activities and delicacies. During the festival, Jews would frequently prepare the potato pancakes described as "latkes," offering them occasionally with apple sauce and otherwise sour cream. "Sufganiyot," often known as a jelly donut, is another traditional delicacy.
Another revered custom is the game of "dreidel," which involves a four-sided top getting spun and, depending on which of its Hebrew letter-painted faces it lands on, the players are instructed to add or remove coins from a poker-style pot. However, the so-called "coins" in controversy are actually "gelt," which is chocolate that has been wrapped in gold aluminum foil to seem like coins.
Each of the four sides of a dreidel featured a different Hebrew letter.
Gimel
Dear or Chai
Similar to poker, you throw chocolate coins into the pot but rather take them out, and at the end, whoever has the most wins. Each letter stands for a particular instruction.
While some Jews prefer to observe their own customs to honor the holiday, others are raised in mixed-faith families as well as celebrate Christmas.
According to Andrew Wolfson's article in the Louisville Courier-Journal, some Jews spend the day watching movies or dining at Chinese cafes while others view it as a day that emphasizes differences.
Check out these Louisville chefs' recipes for unique takes on well-known foods.

Getting to Schilthorn was a delightful adventure. Since Schilthorn is a 2,970 meters (9,744 ft.) peak in the Bernese Alps, we took a series of cable cars to get there, with each one presenting a spectacular view of the snow-capped mountains and valleys. Some websites say that this is the world's longest aerial cable-car system, but long or short, we loved the ride. Adventure tourists go to Schilthorn for skiing and hiking, but the not-so-adventurous ones like us go there to visit Piz Gloria—a revolving restaurant at the summit of Schilthorn, made famous in James Bond's movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service. It features an exhibition hall for the 007 die-hard fans.
Piz Gloria revolves a full 360 degrees in 55 minutes, and on a clear day, provides stunning panoramic views of mountains, peaks (including Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger) and glaciers of the Bernese Alps. We weren't lucky enough to visit on a clear day so even though we didn't get any views, it was worth it to make the awesome trip and eat in the revolving restaurant.
On a clear day, you can see Titlis, Jungfrau, Mönch, Eiger and other peaks, but all we saw was… …well, you figured it out!
