University prof says students can't sell notes from his classes because it violates his copyright

April 4, 2008 4:26pm

Professor Moulton's Wildlife Issues class is known to everyone here at UF as just about the easiest and most effortless class you can take. I started hearing it about it at Freshman orientation when I was looking for Gen Ed credits. I never took the class myself because it had no relevance to my field of study and I prefer to take classes where I might actually learn something useful, but I know many people who have.

Perhaps, as many people have said before, if Professor Moulton designed his class in such a way that you couldn't buy the notes, cram the night before, and only show up to class on test days, he wouldn't have such a problem.

The rock formations of the miniature stone forest were hollow. They seemed to be made of some sort of internal frame covered in textured plaster or concrete or something. From the pictures in the old brochure we found in the rubble strewn about the Golden Peacock Theater, the it appears the stone forest even had a waterfall.

I was disappointed to find that the multi-armed Buddha statue was gone, the marble base that used to support it was empty. I'm guessing it was sold rather than stolen, as it looked like it was extracted from the base using serious power tools and judging by the pictures I've seen of it, would likely require a crane to move it. Considering we had several very close calls with the patrolling security guard, I don't think anyone would have been stealthy enough to make off with that statue without notice.

Which gas station is this? I'm a UF student too, would like to go laugh at it if it's somewhere nearby.

Do Kids Still Play with Wooden Toys?

January 16, 2008 8:22am

I'm 21 years old now, my brother is 17. Our mom bought us a set of wooden blocks when we were little that we had hours and hours of endless fun with. They didn't get boxed up and put in the attic until we were well into our teens.

The blocks nearly always formed the basic framework for whatever other toys we were playing with... forts for the GI Joes, secret bases for the superhero action figures, roads and cities and garages for the toy cars and trucks, houses for my dolls, etc. As we got older and our play styles matured, other toys fell out of favor but we always seemed to find new uses for the wooden blocks.

I hope that by the time my brother and I get around to having kids of our own we'll be able to buy a similar set, or there's going to be a huge argument over who gets to give the set we have to their children.
