Please follow standard procedures and speak with your academic dean and the relevant department for approval *in advance* of taking the course.
Finally, allow me one unconstructive suggestion: can we please as standard have a clock above the platform that not only records the time, (for the benefit of the chair), but the cumulative cost of the day, based on a rough estimate of the hourly salaries of those in the room (we could base it on this meeting cost calculator)?
To avoid delays, please use standard IAUC procedures for listing authors (first and middle initials, last full name; maximum of three authors, if possible*) and affiliations (providing FULL institutional names, not abbreviated names or acronyms unless defined first, with diacritical marks in TeX form; amateurs should not give their private observatory name but rather city/town and state/country).
Eddie Redmayne's Potter-spun franchise-opener is of a similar crowd-pleasing standard, and the 1920s American setting creates opportunities for lavish production design and fresh performers, including Katherine Waterston, Colin Farrell and a suitcase full of creatures.
It's cheap, aesthetically pleasing (by the standards of the day), and relatively easy to prepare.
Hundreds of miles of barriers going up in other areas have had to meet "aesthetically pleasing" federal design standards.
On the other hand getting Skype (proprietary) and Google Talk (XMPP) to communicate with each other may be more challenging but if it happened it would place a great deal of pressure on MSN and Yahoo to open up their propretary standards and if they all agreed on an interoperability standard (please let it be XMPP) then we would have finally a federated IM capability. .
The orchestra responded gamely, and the audience seemed genuinely amused and pleased, not the standard Carnegie response to contemporary music.
Please use a standard font and font size for ease of reading.
(How far can a farrago go?) Am pleased by high standard of performance, slightly dismayed by lack of obscenity in text.
