• SHACS tells me that "there have been many students who have been seen or reported having the stomach flu which include the following symptoms: Fever, Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea Headaches, Fatigue, Body Aches".
  
  • If you have these symptoms, "It is important to get plenty of rest and notify your faculty that you will not be attending classes until you are 24 hours without a fever."
  • If you have these symptoms and cannot manage them, go to SHACS.
  • If you need extra time on the homework because of the stomach flu, let me know.
• Lea tells me that the infrastructure for the project won't be ready for prime time. (Thank you Lea, Spencer, and Daniel for lots of hard work on that infrastructure!) So ... I'm declaring the project a failure for the semester. I'll be working on a new schedule for the course.
