“Lebanon: A Geopolitical Analysis”
Presentation by: Dr. Jeff Coulter
Professor of Sociology
Boston University
When: Monday, February 19, 2007; 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Where: Multi Purpose Room, room 108
ground floor of Campus building
Why is it that we constantly hear about the sovereign state of Lebanon in the news about the Middle East and still know very little about it? Lebanon emerged out of the Ottoman domain only to expirience demographic
upheavals, sectarian politics, two civil wars, invasions and assassinations. Understanding the tragic history of
Lebanon is necessary to grasp the current situation in the Middle East.
Join us for a forum on the geopolitical landscape of Lebanon.
This Event is sponsored by the Programming Committee of the Stamford Regional Campus.

Bake Sale/Flower Sale Today
The Husky Ambassadors will be in the concourse today, February 15, offering sweets and carnations. Brownies are $.50 each, cupcakes are $.75 each, and many more. Donations will go to the Stamford Food Bank.
Microsoft Office Product Alternatives
The JRL library’s SuperHOMER workstations are NOT equipped with the Microsoft Office products (word, excel, powerpoint, access). You can however save or email a word document so you can download and view the document for quick edits. Please remember to save (using a USB portable drive) or email (to another email account like Huskymail) a back up copy to your work.
The campus microlab has the Microsoft Office products. Howerver, there are some free alternatives out there. Google offer’s “Docs and Spreadsheets” (formerly called Writely).
For non-Office users who need a rough equivalent to Office should examine the Zoho Virtual Office (www.zoho.com) It doesn’t have the polish or the features of Microsoft’s offerings, but it does have similar core functionality and it’s free.
As with Google-created documents, the documents created by Zoho’s applications are stored on the web, so you can get to them from any Internet-connected computer.
