China's government is now by far the largest creditor of the United States. Never before has a country as poor as China lent so much money to a country as rich as the United States. And never before has the United States relied so heavily on another country's government for financing.
China reports $1.9 trillion in foreign exchange reserves - roughly two times as much as Japan and four times as much as Russia or Saudi Arabia - the majority of which is denominated in US dollars. This total leaves out the $200 billion in "other foreign assets" that are on the balance sheets of the People's Bank of China, the $100 billion or so in foreign assets of China's sovereign wealth fund (the China Investment Corporation) and the roughly $150 billion in foreign assets managed by China's large state commercial banks. The foreign assets of China's government sum to at least $2.35 trillion - and could easily rise to around $2.5 trillion by the end of 2008. That works out to over 50 percent of China's GDP or roughly $2,000 per Chinese citizen.

Peyton Manning 9-11 in the post season 1 Superbowl victory.

Any questions?
Peyton Manning 9-11 in the post season 1 Superbowl victory.
Eli manning 8-3 in the post season 2 Superbowl victories.
Any questions?
The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
hes been the starter since the 04 season i believe ( or he deff started a good amount in 04 his rookie year) so hes made playoffs 5 times out of 9 times, and when u take into consideration the nfc has been the weaker conference the majority of his career, and 3 of those playoff appearances were with records of 8-8, and 9-7 2x, which as we all know many teams miss playoffs with those records, so thats more other teams being weak, than the giants actually being a good team,
eli is a good qb, he needs to improve his reg season play, and get to the postseason consistently. he cant go 1 year playoffs, 2 years out, 2 years in, etc. hes good, not elite.
Now go look at how many one and domes Peyton has
peyton did not play great this week by any means, and truth be told, i am happy they lost bc i want ray lewis to get that ring on his way out, but if not for some of the worst coverage in prevent defense history, peyton manning is playing in the afc championship game this weekend. you can say that ''who cares about the what if scenarios'', etc, but the reason the game went into ot was not due to peyton manning.
ill take peyton over eli any day.
LOL. Damn Dolphin and Jet fans are just trying to see the playoffs. Most can't even spell playoffs correctly since they never see the playoffs.
Of course they'd take the playoffs over something they've never heard of like a Super Bowl title lol.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Flymaster at PI today
I am pretty damn proud of my flies. In a world of flatwings and leadeyes, I feel good about the things I have come to incorporate in my flies over the years. I spent a few hours on the bottom of the tide at PI this AM, with a guy named Scott to the left and a jolly clam drifter to the right. I had landed several fish by then, and the nice old timer to the right landed a 40" cow on clams! Scott started to score on schoolies, and I lost my last deep eel on a rare snag at the bend.
Scott kept the pace, getting to 24"... 26"... 28" and although no legal sized fish were landed the pace and consistency with which he hooked fish was astounding. I had been getting hit 8 of 10 casts until the deep eel was lost, but was down to perhaps 20 casts to each bump on everything else in my box (provided the picking's were slim from some hard spring fishing).
My tactic was to work the sand eel fly right on the sand, but he was stripping in a normal fashion mid-depth or even high in the column in the channel! I tried several flies in the mid/upper column to no avail. Finally I walked down to the bar and hit a dozen or so 18-24" fish on the very shallow shoal using a long bodied sand eel pattern to make myself feel better.
I then walked back up, and Scott was still slammin' fish. I cast out the same fly in the deep channel, nothing. Determined to find a fly that could draw them in such deep dark current without putting the fly beneath them, I went back to everything I had mode. Finally, we both reeled up and I walked over to compliment him as well as see the fly.
It was truly a work of art. For every realism I use for my flies, his made them look impressionistic. I feel most of my patterns are more realistic than common flies, and that common patterns are overly-impressionistic. His fly looked like it would leap from his hand.
He is working on a fly tying book. It will have a title that resembles "Yankee Ingenuity" or "It's the size of the fly" (Scott if you're reading this please forgive me). I handed him a Forum business card and told him I'd be pleased to advertise his work... gratis. Whether he accepts or not, I WILL be looking for the book when completed.
great stuff, Scott!

text: Have you ever noticed that in ANH, the Millennium Falcon has 3 legs (1 in front, 2 in the back) but in ESB there are 5 legs (2 new smaller ones right behind the front 1 to either side)? I noticed this when I rewatched the trilogy in the early '90s and have wondered ever since why it was done from either a behind-the-scenes reason OR even just an EU reason. Anybody else wonder about this? Anybody have the answer?

Family: Sciuridae, Squirrels view all from this family
Description A large tree squirrel. Gray above, whitish below. Large, bushy tail with black stripe on edges. L 21 1/223 1/2" (560600 mm); T 10 1/211 1/4" (260285 mm); HF 2 7/83 1/8" (7381 mm).
Endangered Status The Delmarva Peninsula Fox Squirrel, a subspecies of the Eastern Fox Squirrel, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. This squirrel once ranged throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. Naturally occurring populations are now found only in parts of Queen Anne's, Talbot, and Dorchester Counties in Maryland, although introduced populations occur elsewhere in Maryland, as well as Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. This subspecies requires a particular type of mixed hardwood and pine woodland, with a closed canopy and an open understory. It needs extensive forest-edge habitat, so the woodland must be fairly small in extent. Logging practices have altered this type of habitat in the fox squirrel's range, either by changing the nature of the canopy or the understory, or by replacing mixed stands with same-species plantings. Once the Delmarva Peninsula Fox Squirrel loses its own habitat, it must compete with the Gray Squirrel for food and nesting habitat.
Habitat Edges of mixed pine-hardwood forests.
Range Delmarva Peninsula, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.

Human intelligence expert Flynn to speak
Posted October 1, 2008; 04:48 p.m.
James Flynn, a social scientist well known for his work on human intelligence, will discuss the factors behind rising IQ scores as well as research on race and intelligence in events scheduled for Tuesday through Thursday, Oct. 7-9.
Flynn is known for discovering the "Flynn effect," the trend toward rising average IQ scores in many countries. He will deliver two talks at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 7 and 9 in McCosh 10. The first, "What Is Intelligence? Paradoxes Resolved," will explore the factors behind the gains in IQ test performance since 1900. Flynn will address "Black IQ: Environmental Factors" in the second. These talks are designated as Stafford Little Lectures sponsored by the University Public Lectures Series.
In addition, Flynn will be a featured participant in a seminar on "The Ethical Implications of Recent Research on Race and IQ" at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 8 in 101 McCormick Hall. The event, sponsored by the University Center for Human Values, also will feature two Princeton scholars, psychologist Deborah Prentice and ethicist Peter Singer.
Flynn is an emeritus professor of political studies at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. His books include "What Is Intelligence? Beyond the Flynn Effect," "How to Defend Humane Ideals: Substitutes for Objectivity," "Asian Americans: Achievements Beyond IQ" and "Race, IQ and Jensen."

GM readying aluminum body trucks by late 2018, report says
DETROIT (Reuters) -- General Motors Co. is working towards a largely aluminum-bodied pickup truck by late 2018, under pressure from federal fuel efficiency standards, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
GM recently locked-in supply contracts with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. and both suppliers are now working to increase their aluminum sheet production to supply the next-generation GM pickup, according to the Journal.
Aluminum sheet for automotive bodies is in such high demand that companies need to order it years in advance, the newspaper said.
GM has been working to put its full-size pickup trucks on a severe diet to meet future U.S. fuel economy standards and stay competitive with rival Ford Motor Co.
"We are going to continue to improve the fuel efficiency of all of our products," a GM spokesman said today in an e-mail. "For competitive reasons, we are not talking about technical details of future products at this point."
Mark Reuss, GM's product chief, made no secret of his interest in aluminum when he saw Ford's aluminum F-150 pickup at the Detroit auto show last month.
"I want to get my hands on it," Reuss told reporters. "I'm going to be looking at how much aluminum is in it. 'What are the panels? … How are they constructed?' I'm going to look at what they advertise as the weight savings from it. Then I'm going to go back and do some math."
Reuters reported last July that GM will start using more lightweight materials such as aluminum and composites in place of conventional steel.
Ford has already made the switch. The new F-150's latest upgrade's body is 95 percent made of a military grade aluminum alloy used in Humvees and weighs up to 700 pounds lesser than the current truck.
Alcoa and Novelis could not immediately be reached for comment by Reuters outside of regular U.S. business hours.
Automotive News staff contributed to this report.

I'm not an Apple obsessive. In the Apple versus Android battle I'm firmly on the side of Android. But even though the eulogising of some people about everything that Apple does actually makes me want to dislike the company, I can't. In terms of innovation, Apple is head and shoulders above most other IT companies, and what also really excites me is how amazingly beautiful all of the technology is that it has created. I'm a fan of great design, not just design that looks beautiful, but design that works beautifully. I might not own an iPhone or a Macbook (although I seriously considered it when I upgraded my computer last month), but I do own an iPod and it's one of the best things I've ever bought. It has changed my life.
Many people have written posts on the sad death of Steve Jobs and so apart from what I've said already I won't go over all of that. But what I have realised this week was how little I knew about Steve Jobs himself and what an inspirational figure he could be. Many news programmes have included clips of various talks and presentations he's given over the years. One really stood out for me and that was the speech he gave to graduates of Stanford University in 2005, and so I decided to seek out the full speech and I'm glad I did.
I've written on this blog before about how a great speech can refresh you, make you think about stuff differently and make you look again at what or how you're doing the things you do. That's one reason why I love being in politics as you occasionally get to hear a real gem of a speech or a discussion that gets you doing just that. It may not be anything high profile and it may not even be shown on television, but you were one of the lucky few who got to hear it. The speech given by Steve Jobs at Stanford University is one of those, but fortunately we can all hear it by going to the video below. The life philosophy and attitude is one I'd like to live by, but rarely do. It's the second time this week that someone has talked about living the life you want to live, rather than the one that others think you should. The first was a friend of mine who has been rethinking everything he's doing in his life and as a result has grown as a person and is really enjoying himself at the moment. The second was this speech by Steve Jobs.
Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

My lunch is about the same everyday. Today was peanut butter jam sandwich, some Welch's black cherry/concord grape juice, and some cool ranch Doritos. I usually have cran-raspberry juice. The chips are from a variety pack that also has Cheetos, Nacho Cheese Doritos, Lays Potato Chips, Ruffles, and Fritos. If my sandwich is something like cheese or lunch meat, I'll have a granola bar.
I don't really have a formal lunch on the weekends. I just snack on something in the middle of the day. Perhaps a Lean Pocket.
I usually snack a couple times while working... a pack of pb crackers around noon, a granola bar around 3, anda rice crispy treat around 6. All while drinking a half gallon or so of water, and a gatorade (summer time ups it to over a gallon).

GENERIC NAME(S): FENTANYL CITRATEFind Lowest Prices
See also Uses and How To Use sections.
Fentanyl has a high risk for abuse and severe, possibly fatal, breathing problems. Do not use fentanyl buccal tablets unless you have been regularly taking moderate to large amounts of opioid pain medication. Otherwise, it may cause overdose (even death). The risk for harm is higher if you take the wrong dose/strength, or if you take it along with other drugs that might also affect breathing. It might also be higher when you start this medication and after a dose increase. Get medical help right away if you notice unusual slow/shallow breathing.
Carefully follow the specific directions for using fentanyl buccal tablets. Since they are not taken the same way, different forms of fentanyl (including lozenges, buccal tablets, patches) do not have the same effects at equal strengths and should not be substituted for each other. Tell your doctor or pharmacist of all medications that you use, especially of drugs that can affect how fentanyl works (see also Drug Interactions section). Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.
Keep this medicine in a safe place to prevent theft, misuse, or abuse. If a child accidentally swallows this drug, get medical help right away.
Because of the risk of misuse, abuse, and overdose, you will need to register with a special distribution program before receiving your prescription. Only doctors and pharmacies enrolled in this program may prescribe or dispense this medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for details.Who should not take Fentora buccal?
This medication is used to help relieve sudden (breakthrough) cancer pain in people who are regularly taking moderate to large amounts of opioid pain medication. Fentanyl belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain.
This medication should not be used to relieve mild or short-term pain (such as due to headache/migraine, dental procedures, surgery).
Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start using fentanyl and each time you get a refill. Learn all usage and disposal instructions. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Use this medication as directed by your doctor. Just before using, open the blister pack unit as directed. Do not push the tablet through the foil of the blister pack because this could damage the tablet. Place the tablet in your mouth either above a rear molar tooth between your upper cheek and gum or under the tongue. Leave the medication in place until it is dissolved (usually 14 to 25 minutes). Do not break, bite, chew, suck, or swallow the tablet whole. You may feel a gentle bubbling in your mouth while the tablet dissolves. Do not eat or drink anything while the tablet dissolves. If there is still some tablet left after 30 minutes, swallow it with a glass of water. If you are using the method that involves placing the tablet between your cheek and gum, remember to change sides of the mouth with each dose.
Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using this medication unless your doctor or pharmacist says you may do so safely. Grapefruit can increase the chance of side effects with this medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
If you start to have side effects (such as dizziness, feeling sick to your stomach, severe drowsiness) before finishing a dose, your doctor may need to adjust your dose. Rinse your mouth with water and spit the rest of the tablet into a sink or toilet. Rinse the sink or flush the toilet afterward to finish proper disposal. Tell your doctor promptly if this happens.
The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. If you need a second dose, wait 30 minutes after starting the first dose. Do not use more than 2 doses per episode of breakthrough pain. Wait at least 4 hours before using fentanyl buccal tablets again for another episode of breakthrough pain. Do not increase your dose, take the medication more frequently, or take it for a longer time than prescribed.
Pain medications work best if they are used when the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well.
You should continue to also take your long-acting opioid medication as directed by your doctor. Other pain relievers (such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen) may also be prescribed. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about using fentanyl safely with other drugs.
This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time or in high doses. In such cases, withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness, watering eyes, runny nose, nausea, sweating, muscle aches) may occur if you suddenly stop using this medication. To prevent withdrawal reactions, your doctor may reduce your dose gradually. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details, and report any withdrawal reactions right away.
When this medication is used for a long time, it may not work as well. Talk with your doctor if this medication stops working well.
Along with its benefits, this medication may rarely cause abnormal drug-seeking behavior (addiction). This risk may be increased if you have abused alcohol or drugs in the past. Take this medication exactly as prescribed to lessen the risk of addiction.
Tell your doctor if your pain persists or worsens, if you have more than 4 episodes of breakthrough pain daily, or if you need to use 2 doses of medication for each episode of pain.
Nausea, vomiting, constipation, lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness, or headache may occur. Pain, sores, or irritation in the mouth (where the medication has been applied) may also occur. Some of these side effects may decrease after you have been using this medication for a while. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To prevent constipation, eat a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise. Ask your pharmacist for help in selecting a laxative (such as a stimulant type with stool softener).
To reduce the risk of dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (such as agitation, confusion, hallucinations), severe stomach/abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, signs of your adrenal glands not working well (such as loss of appetite, unusual tiredness, weight loss).
Get medical help right away if any of these rare but serious side effects occur: fainting, seizure, slow/shallow breathing, unusual drowsiness/difficulty waking up.
This medication may increase serotonin and rarely cause a very serious condition called serotonin syndrome/toxicity. The risk increases if you are also taking other drugs that increase serotonin, so tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take (see Drug Interactions section). Get medical help right away if you develop some of the following symptoms: fast heartbeat, hallucinations, loss of coordination, severe dizziness, severe nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, twitching muscles, unexplained fever, unusual agitation/restlessness.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before taking fentanyl, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: brain disorders (such as head injury, tumor, seizures), breathing problems (such as asthma, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-COPD), kidney disease, liver disease, mental/mood disorders (such as confusion, depression), personal or family history of regular use/abuse of drugs/alcohol, stomach/intestinal problems (such as blockage, constipation, diarrhea due to infection, paralytic ileus), difficulty urinating (such as due to enlarged prostate), gallbladder disease, disease of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Avoid alcoholic beverages.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, and slow/shallow breathing.
Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the risks and benefits. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. It may slightly increase the risk of birth defects if used during the first two months of pregnancy. Also, using it for a long time or in high doses near the expected delivery date may harm the unborn baby. To lessen the risk, use the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Tell the doctor right away if you notice any symptoms in your newborn baby such as slow/shallow breathing, irritability, abnormal/persistent crying, vomiting, or diarrhea.
This drug passes into breast milk and may rarely have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Tell the doctor right away if your baby develops unusual sleepiness, difficulty feeding, or trouble breathing. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicines without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this drug include: certain pain medications (mixed opioid agonist-antagonists such as pentazocine, nalbuphine, butorphanol), opioid antagonists (such as naltrexone).
Other medications can affect the removal of fentanyl from your body, which may affect how fentanyl works. Examples include cimetidine, nefazodone, azole antifungals including itraconazole/ ketoconazole, calcium channel blockers such as diltiazem/verapamil, HIV drugs such as nelfinavir/ritonavir, macrolide antibiotics including erythromycin, rifamycins including rifampin, certain anti-seizure medicines including carbamazepine, among others.
Taking MAO inhibitors with this medication may cause a serious (possibly fatal) drug interaction. Avoid taking MAO inhibitors (isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine) during treatment with this medication. Most MAO inhibitors should also not be taken for two weeks before treatment with this medication. Ask your doctor when to start or stop taking this medication.
The risk of serious side effects (such as slow/shallow breathing, severe drowsiness/dizziness) may be increased if this medication is taken with other products that may also affect breathing or cause drowsiness. Therefore, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other products such as alcohol, allergy or cough-and-cold products, anti-seizure drugs (such as phenobarbital), medicine for sleep or anxiety (such as alprazolam, diazepam, zolpidem), muscle relaxants, other narcotic pain relievers (such as codeine), and psychiatric medicines (such as risperidone, amitriptyline, trazodone). Your medications or doses of your medications may need to be changed.
The risk of serotonin syndrome/toxicity increases if you are also taking other drugs that increase serotonin. Some examples are street drugs such as MDMA/ "ecstasy," St. John's wort, certain antidepressants (such as SSRIs like fluoxetine/paroxetine, SNRIs like duloxetine/venlafaxine), among others. The risk of serotonin syndrome/toxicity may be more likely when you start or increase the dose of these drugs.
This medication may interfere with certain laboratory tests (including amylase/lipase levels), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
If someone has overdosed and has serious symptoms such as passing out or trouble breathing, call 911. Otherwise, call a poison control center right away. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: slow breathing, slow heartbeat, loss of consciousness.
Do not share this medication with others. It is against the law and the medication may cause harm to others.
This medication has been prescribed for your current condition only. Do not use it later for another condition unless told to do so by your doctor. A different medication may be necessary in that case.
Not applicable.
Store at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medications away from children and pets. See also Warning section.
Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard this product when it is expired or no longer needed.

Complaint Resolution Policy
Rhode Island College affirms its commitment to ensuring an environment for all students and employees that is fair, humane, and respectful; an environment that supports and rewards students and employees on the basis of relevant considerations, and which is free from discriminatory, inappropriate, and disrespectful conduct or communication. As an institution of higher education dedicated to fostering and upholding higher order values of human dignity and respect for the individual, Rhode Island College expects standards of professional behavior that exceed those minimally prescribed by law.
In an instance of perceived violation of the College policies, a member of the College community may file a complaint. In pursuing a complaint, the individual may be accompanied and otherwise assisted by an advisor/advocate from within the College community. The advisor shall not act as an attorney. Should any of the parties retain legal counsel, counsel may not be present at any level of the complaint called for by these procedures. College employees governed by collective bargaining agreements may pursue perceived violations of those agreements according to the grievance procedures set forth in them.
Confidentiality and privacy of those involved will be respected during all complaint procedures to the degree the procedure will allow. If an individual wishes to bring a complaint of discrimination, including a complaint alleging sexual harassment, and remain anonymous, the College's ability to respond will be limited. Nevertheless, any individual who believes he or she has been the victim of discrimination is encouraged to discuss the matter with the College's Director of Affirmative Action or any other administrator with whom he/she feels comfortable. Consultations will be confidential to the full extent permitted by law.
This policy provides two avenues for pursing a complaint: an Informal Resolution Procedure and a Formal Resolution Procedure. An individual may utilize either or both of these avenues of resolution. The College will maintain records and monitor all complaints at all levels. In the case of Affirmative Action complaints, all records are required to be retained for monitoring purposes.
Policy Advising
Individuals seeking information regarding the process of complaint resolution may consult with any of the following offices or individuals for advice and assistance. (A list can be obtained by clicking here.)
Informal Resolution Procedure
Members of the College Community are encouraged normally to seek an informal resolution of their complaints. This informal procedure is intended to encourage communication between the parties involved, either directly or through an intermediary, in order to facilitate a mutual understanding of what may be different perspectives regarding the complained of action or behavior, and to find a solution.
If the complainant is a student, the complaint shall be handled by the Dean of Students. Purely academic complaints shall be handled in accordance with the College's academic grievance policies that are outlined in the College Handbook – Chapter 3 – Academic Policies and Procedures.
If the complainant is an employee, the complaint normally shall be handled by the employee's immediate supervisor. If the immediate supervisor is the subject of the complaint, the complainant may file the informal complaint with another person in the administrative chain of command.
Absent extraordinary circumstances, a record of a complaint alleging discrimination shall be reported to the Director of Affirmative Action so that the College may maintain a record of all complaints filed.
If the informal process does not result in the resolution of the complaint to the satisfaction of the complainant, the complainant may utilize the formal complaint procedure.
Formal Resolution Procedure
Any member of the College community may submit a formal complaint alleging a violation of College policy to the appropriate administrator at any time. However, time limits contained in law or contracts may limit the College's ability to respond fully.
Purely academic complaints shall be handled in accordance with the College's academic grievance policies and are not covered by this policy. Those policies and procedures may be found in the College Handbook – Chapter 3 – Academic Policies and Procedures.
Filing a Formal Complaint
A formal complaint shall be in writing and shall set forth a statement of the facts, the College policy/policies or practice/practices violated, and the specific remedy sought.
The complaint normally shall be filed as follows:
- If the complaint alleges discrimination, including illegal harassment, the complaint shall be filed with the Director, Affirmative Action, Maggie Sullivan, Roberts Hall 310, telephone # 456-8216, email: email@example.com.
- If the complaint is a non-academic student issue, the complaint shall be filed with the Dean of Students, Scott Kane, Craig-Lee 119, telephone # 456-8061, email: email@example.com.
- All other complaints shall be filed with the Director, Human Resources, Maggie Sullivan, Roberts Hall 310, telephone # 456-8216, email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
These College offices shall forward the complaint to the appropriate Dean or Director for Step 1 resolution. They shall also continue to monitor and coordinate its resolution.
If the complaint is against a Dean or Director, Step 1 of the complaint procedure shall be by-passed and the grievance shall be filed with the appropriate Vice President.
If the complaint is against a Vice President, Step 1 and Step 2 of the complaint procedure shall be by-passed and the complaint shall be filed directly with the President.
If the complaint is against the President, Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 of the complaint procedure shall be by-passed and the complaint shall be filed with the Board of Governors who shall deal with the complaint through an ad hoc procedure.
If the College determines that a complaint is well-founded and that the respondent has engaged in inappropriate conduct, disciplinary action may be imposed (and formally effectuated, as required, by an appointing authority) ranging from an oral reprimand to termination of employment or expulsion from the College.
Step 1
Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Dean or Director to whom the complaint has been forwarded shall, within seven (7) calendar days of receiving the complaint, conduct a formal conference with the complainant, permitting her or him to provide any necessary relevant information. The Dean or Director shall also meet with the respondent and conduct such additional investigation as he or she deems necessary. Absent extraordinary circumstances, a written recommendation shall be rendered within seven (7) calendar days of the first formal conference. The recommendation shall be sent to the complainant and respondent. The written recommendation shall state the background information, the rationale for the recommendation, and the recommended remedy (if any). No transcript or recording of the conference shall be made by either party. For monitoring purposes, a copy of the recommendation shall be sent to the College officer who received the initial complaint.
Step 2
If the complaint is not resolved at Step 1, the complainant or respondent may, within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the Step 1 recommendation, appeal to the Vice President administratively responsible for the unit of the College in which the alleged policy violation/s occurred.
Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Vice President shall hold a hearing within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the appeal or complaint. Absent extraordinary circumstances, a written recommendation shall be rendered within fourteen (14) calendar days of such hearing. The complainant and the respondent shall be afforded the opportunity to testify, to call witnesses and to introduce documentary evidence. The Vice-President may review any evidence gathered at the Step 1 level, (including the Step 1 recommendation), and shall, if that evidence is deemed relevant and probative, make it available to the parties. Hearsay evidence, including out-of-hearing statements, if deemed reliable by the Vice President, may be introduced but will normally be accorded less weight than the testimony of live witnesses. No formal cross examination by the parties shall be permitted. No transcript or recording shall be made of the hearing. For monitoring purposes a copy of the recommendation shall be sent to the College officer who received the initial complaint.
Step 3
In the event that the complaint is not resolved at Step 2, the complainant or respondent may file an appeal with the President within fourteen days of the receipt of the Step 2 recommendation.
Absent extraordinary circumstances, the President shall, within seven (7) calendar days, refer the case to the Complaint Hearing Panel. The Complaint Hearing Panel shall consist of three (3) persons, one of whom shall be designated chair, chosen from a standing panel appointed annually by the President. The standing panel shall consist of twelve (12) College employees representing administrators, faculty, and staff. The Complaint Hearing Panel shall be formed as follows: one person shall be appointed by the President and designated chair, one person shall be appointed by the complainant, and one person shall be appointed by the respondent. Any member of the panel whose term of appointment expires during the course of the hearing shall continue to serve until completion of the hearing and rendering of a recommendation. The Step 3 hearing shall be held as soon as practicable and normally within twenty-one days of referral by the President. The complainant and the respondent shall have the right to call witnesses, to testify and to present relevant documentary evidence. The complainant and the respondent shall have the right to cross-examine all witnesses, subject to the supervision of the Panel. The Panel may review any evidence gathered at the Step 1 or Step 2 level, (including the Step 1 and 2 recommendation), and may, in its discretion, make that available to the parties. Hearsay evidence, including out-of-hearing statements, if deemed reliable by the Panel, may be introduced but will normally be accorded less weight than the testimony of live witnesses. A tape recording of the proceeding shall be made and a copy shall be provided, at cost, to the complainant and to the respondent. Following the hearing, the Panel shall render a report and recommendation to the President, absent extraordinary circumstances, within twenty-one (21) calendar days following the hearing. The report shall contain specific findings of fact and recommendations. Upon consideration of the report and recommendation, the President shall render a decision in writing and communicate the same to the complainant, the respondent, and to the College monitoring officer. The President's decision shall be final.
While this procedure is generic and therefore available to address any concerns of members of the College Community, it is intended to be of particular use to those persons seeking to vindicate rights accorded them pursuant to the College's Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action Policy. More specifically, this policy constitutes the grievance mechanism called for by the regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Title IX (barring sex discrimination), Title VI (barring discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin); and Title VII (barring discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, or national origin).

Again, we have a very cool apartment that we got through the tourist bureau in town. On a side street and is part of a Gasthof, or combination of restaurant/inn. I am still amazed that we can get a large place for less than the Motel 6 off the freeway in Lancaster. Also what strikes me must be some cultural difference that I do not understand. At every apartment we have stayed at, when we arrive I offer to pay but the proprietor always says something like " pay later when you leave or find me later and then pay"
I like the eastern part of Germany. Today we wandered about the town. We stopped in a church and the woman there spent a lot of time telling us (in German) all about the church, its history (dates back to before the Reformation) and about the special porcelain bells that ring on the quarter hour as well as play longer chorales several times a day. Sometimes the people want to tell us so much information and it can be hard to understand all of it. But I find it sweet and this woman insisted we take some of the illustrated pamphlets for free even though the signs clearly said they cost a few coins (she even found some in English for Jerry).
Our trip is drawing to a close; in a week we will be sitting in out little aluminium tube back to America. I will say I think that Southern Californiais a very special place to live and that there are not many places like that I would chose outside SoCal to live, but I would like to try living here despite the wintery climate. There are some striking differences from the states. A lot to think about. Maybe freedom means feeling safe walking around a fair size city at 10 pm and riding public transport with no thought to being shot. Watching the news and having it be a big story that someone in Berlin or another major city was attacked; when such incidents would not even make the local news in the states
News media is also different than the States; I have not heard any updates on what Britney Spears or Paris Hilton is up to. We have had various television services, fron all German language TV in some places to very international services. In Prague they had so many channels to chose from including English language news services through CNN international, BBC World, Russia Today, CCTV from China and Al Jezzera (all in English). They even had Spanish language TV from Cuba. What struck me was how focused all these channels were on what I would consider real (or consiquential) news. Not celebrity light. Even the German language news programmes. Several German states are in the midst of elections for their state legislatures; the news programmes focused on issues and what each party stood for. Not who didn't wear a flag on their lapel that day or some other made-up issue to get people inflammed
There is a bit of Neo-Nazism here in Germany; also called populism in other countries. The Neo-Nazi party (NPD) is very controversial here. In the German states where there are elections occuring this month, we have seen many political placards on the streets for all the various parties (there are quite a number of them here). Very few NPD posters, in fact in only one state (in the Saarland near France) did we see NPD placards and many wore torn in half/defaced or whitewashed over. What is creepy is that if you read the NPD party's website, they are basically what would be called the Tea Party in the US. When a large segment of the US population endorses a poplist programme that wold bee seen as neo-nazism in Germany, well, that gives me pause about how I view my fuure as a resident of the USA. As for me, I will wear my Pirate Party button I got when we visited their booth last weekend in Erfurt and hope someday the US will have a Pirate Party too (not as stupid as it sounds, google it, it's a growing movement in Europe and hopefully in the Americas soon too). The Social Democrat Party booth also gave us a bag full of pens, paper pads, candy and other assorted trinkets. They would be more equivilent of the US democratic paty as seen through the eyes of the Republicans. US Republicans are probably close to a major party in Germany called the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union In Bavaria). It gets comfusing...Parliamentary coalitions leads to strange bedfellows. Off my soap box again and back to some travel photos. Tomorrow we visit a huge fortress near the Czech border and then back to Bavaria/Bayern..
Thanks for visiting!

Disclaimer: These interviews are not associated with A-M-V.org or its administration. The Lip Flapper does not condone the theft of (and use) of panties as headwear.
Welcome to the Lip Flapper! Each week, we delve deep into the community and get a look into both individual members as well as group discussions on various issues that surround our hobby.
This Week in "The Lip Flapper"
Comic courtesy of Summer, AKA GuntherAMVs.
Interview Spotlight
Judgeholden is a long time member, who is well known for his dramatic and fanservice/upbeat AMVs. Recently, he created Haters Gonna Hate, but is also known for Moe! We Got the Beat, Zombie Service, Out to Save the World and Disco Heaven. Go check out the rest of his work, as they're all extremely entertaining!
Q: Thanks for joining me today! Why don't we get started and have you introduce yourself to the audience?
I am an otaku ... and I am unashamed to say so! I live in St. Paul Minnesota, a city that rolls up the sidewalks at 6pm and trows up the closed sign. I have more in common with Vlad, then with you young whippersnappers.
Q: Well thanks for joining me today Judgeholden. Let's start things off and ask how you got involved in editing?
If you are looking to lay the blame ay someone's door steps, then it fully lies with Phade ... I had no idea that AMVs even existed until I met him at Anime Detour '04 (methinks). He ran an AMV room there (still does to this day), and I was like: "These things rock! Anime? Music? Together? It's like a Reese's Peanut-butter Cup for your eyes and ears! Mind blown!" Then I came here, and the first videos I downloaded were "Tainted Donuts" and "Engel" ... I think I pooped myself a little watching those two videos (of course, I could have been the Taco Bell I ate as well). A few months latter I started working on my first AMV.
Q: So care to share with us the secret style of Hana no judgeholden? Or in a less stupid way of saying it, care to less us know about your process of editing?
My process is rather mundane. Often it starts with hearing a random song and think ... "This could make a fun AMV" Then I think of an anime that "fits" with the song ... often I don't find that "Perfect combination", so I end up using a multi-anime approach. When I open Adobe, I often start at the part of the song that I have the clearest idea of what I want to do and finish that section first, then work around that section. Whatever section I am working on, I rework it many times until I am happy, then move on. Often, the last part I do is the beginning of the video, for it always seems to be the hardest part for me.
Q: You're well known for Fanservice and Fun/Upbeat videos. Is there something about these kind of videos that you like to edit most? At the same time, is there any advice you may have for potential editors into these genres?
Well, I just wanna have fun while editing, hence I like to edit things that are fun, actiony, and maybe a little humorous (and I like da girls). Anyway, my biggest piece of advice is to try to make yourself smile, then hope others at least grin from time to time.
Q: While you may be known for Fanservice and Fun/Upbeat videos, you also have done a lot of very fantastic dramatic work. Care to tell us a little bit about your drama AMV history?
Well, like many people I started doing Drama videos. When I do make a drama I feel I need to tell a story of some sort, so they end up being very story driven. Or try to "say" something like "A City Divided". But overall I don't consider my Dramas to be very good.
Q: On your profile, you mention that you are "The most easily forgotten editor on the Org". I dunno about that personally, but care to expand upon this?
This a joke from the last interview I did with Nate .... he started it with "Today we are here with Basher" ...
Q: You mentioned in your journal that you've thought about retiring from drama videos? Wwhy?
Cuz, I am not that good at them, plus I have more fun editing upbeat things.
Q: You've been a long time member of the community. What do you think about the org today as compared to when you first joined? Any interesting tales to tell?
Overall it's just less active. I could go on and on, but it's all been said a million times before ... but overall it's just not as fun of a community as it used to be ...
Q: Most of your AMVs have a similar theme in common, utilizing interesting and integrated effects into the world. Like in "Out to Save The World" with the brick wall and the GITS photographs, or in "Panty Raid 2" with the flames integrated into the character costumes. Care to explain about your methods of effects work, or just about your style in general?
You didn't mention the video I am most proud of, when I comes to blending effects into the world. The video that even Niotex said he wasn't sure how I did some of them (when it came out), and Impressed Decoy.
Simply put, I like to make my effects blend into the video. And since I do a lot of Multi-Anime stuff I like to have the scenes connected to one another, so this means a tons of rotoing (like Konata in the audiance of a Dead Girls concert). It also means doing things that people rail against in the forums, like STAR WIPES! Disco Heaven has TONS of them, sometimes you have to stick to the man, and do what you feel works!
Q: Speaking of your AMVs, is there anything you're working on that we might be excited about seeing soon?
I am really moving towards doing "Something different" ... not unique, but just different. Every time I start an amv, I end up not doing what I really wanted to do, because the scenes did not exist and there was no way to really combine scenes to make the one I wanted ... So, I have decided to try my hand at C4D and start making the videos I really want to ... But, then they wouldn't really be AMVs? or would / will they be?
Q: Well thanks for joining me today Judgeholden. To end off the interview, any inspiring words of wisdom to offer our audience?
Try to have fun ... even I have a hard time taking that advice, so It must be good. =O
Next week on "The Lip Flapper"
This Friday, we have a special bonus Lip Flapper. Next week? We hit it up with ReggieSmalls!

When world leaders met at the 2011 UN High-Level Summit on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and adopted the UN Political Declaration on NCD Prevention and Control, the global health and development landscape changed forever. Diabetes and the related NCDs were recognised as a 'major 21st century challenge' and governments signed up to a set of commitments for action covering the spectrum of prevention, treatment and care. As one of the earliest voices to call for the Summit and an instrumental player during preparations, IDF is proud to have been at the heart of this sea change. But now over a year on from this watershed event, what has changed for people with diabetes? Where has IDF focused its advocacy efforts in 2012 and what have been the major achievements for diabetes and NCDs in this post-Summit year? And looking ahead, what are the next political milestones to continue the momentum of the Summit? Katie Dain offers some highlights, achievements and an over progress of IDF's new advocacy programme – the Diabetes Roadmap to the Future Development Agenda.

Another dimension of sound
Pros: Huge, rich, detailed sound, great build quality, all-in-one, android UI, very powerful
Cons: Requires to clean up you library, a bit large, fairly poor battery time, still some bugs to be fixed, no USB charge
When I first received my iBasso DX100, I think I lost a week or so really getting everything to work perfectly, even though I had solid advice from other headfiers (see the FAQ on the player), and even if I went straight to 1.2.7 firmware.
The main things that will take time is that you need to clean all your tags (I thought they were clean, but apparently not DX100 clean). Then you have to understand the small issues (for instance, when you turn it on after transferring a lot of music, you have to leave it alone for a long time, even if it seems to be doing nothing, or it will freeze - for the longest time I thought something was wrong. Apparently they will fix this in the next firmware).
Once you overcame this initial phase...well this is another realm of sound. I can only compare it too my previous players (ipod + ibasso T3D, Cowon X7, Cowon Z2), but the gap is just huge. For instance, if the sound is 4/10 for an ipod and 6/10 for a Cowon, it's gonna be 10/10 for a DX100. You really have to listen to it to understand the difference. With good IEMs (top tier universal or customs), the feeling of space and instrument separation is just huge. You hear every single detail in your music, which may be anoying with low quality music. And when I say low quality, I don't only mean losless vs. mp3. Some CD quality tracks may be poorly mastered and have a lot of noise. The DX100 will let you hear everything, for better or worse...
I don't want to get into the whole technical analysis of the sound, because I am not qualified too, but just to give you an idea of the quality: there is a track on fiona Apple's latest album called "Werewolf". The song starts with doors opening and closing, with the sound coming from the back. I was listening to it alone in my bed and really stood up and looked around terrified, convinced that someone had entered the room.
In my opinion there are two main issues with the player: the first one the battery does not last very long, and for reasons unknown to me the battery life seems a bit unpredictable depending on what is running in the background (I don't want to risk rooting the player to remove all unnecessary apps). The second one is that the player is not all that portable. It is not only the size, but sometimes, if you really move it around too much, the music might skip. So in my opinion, this is not the player to run or exercise.
The last problem crazy audiophiles may encounter is that they will not know what to buy after that ! It seems like the best all-in-one portable solution out there, and you will even hard pressed to find an amp to make it even better ( according to all the reviews out there, only the best portable amps make it marginally better, but I have not tried it.). So your purchasing mania might be frustrated :)
All in all, I just love this player. I have been listening to twice as much music since I have it, and this will only get worse (better) once I get my Miracle. If you are looking for amazing sound and can overcome a few niggles, this player is for you.

Unemployment above 10% for the first time since '83.
"More debt, more spending ... clearly has not worked — particularly in a time of double-digit unemployment," said Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
One sign of how hard it still is to find a job: The number of Americans who have been out of work for six months or longer rose to 5.6 million, a record. They account for 35.6 percent of the unemployed population, matching a record set last month.
October was the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.
You can read the rest yourself. Sorry if it's too advanced Roger.

Over the past few years, prosecutors have tried to stretch the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) in troubling ways through cases like United States v. Drew. This week, a federal appeals court rebuffed another attempt to expand the CFAA, finding that prosecutors can't double-count computer crime charges to turn misdemeanors into felonies.
Co-authored by Corynne McSherry and Marcia Hofmann
For years, EFF has been warning that the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act can be used to chill speech, particularly security research, because legitimate researchers will be afraid to publish their results lest they be accused of circumventing a technological protection measure. We've also been concerned that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act could be abused to try to make alleged contract violations into crimes.

text: Maul vs. Vader. Pretty cool. It turned out the way I knew it would. The story was very interesting too. The last statement Vader made for some reason really made feel for the guy. I would elaborate more but I don't want to spoil anything. Give it a read to see the contrast in character between Maul and Vader.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Teachers in Mississippi are on the hot seat. In this age of test-driven accountability, our state's teachers face the double-edged challenge of lingering low educational achievement and high poverty.
Mississippi teachers are expected to perform at a higher level than ever before, yet their training doesn't fully prepare them for the task. Today's second installment in the Daily Journal of a six-day focus on teacher quality – part of our year-long series "The State of Our Schools" – gives voice to some of those frustrations from young teachers.
Of course, actual experience has always brought teachers, or any other professionals, into unanticipated and unrehearsed-for circumstances. But today teachers face a host of newer challenges – including understanding, interpreting and using student data – that teacher education programs haven't caught up with. If we judge teachers on student achievement, they should be trained in the interpretation and use of the data that surround it.
This is one of the most obvious areas where teacher education is getting a good, hard look as Mississippi works to update how it educates its educators. Another is subject area content. With the state moving to the new Common Core Curriculum, which will be much more demanding of students and teachers in demonstrating mastery of subject-area knowledge, the old idea that knowing how to teach is more important than expertise in what you teach is obsolete. Effective teachers must be both empathetic connectors with students and intellectually capable. Good teachers have always had these qualities, but accelerating rigor will make intellectual capacity all the more important.
That's why there's such a push on now to elevate the attractiveness of majoring in education for the brightest Mississippi students. Creating more selective programs, such as the collaborative honors college-type approach to teacher education announced recently by Mississippi State and the University of Mississippi, can help raise the prestige level at least closer to that of other, more lucrative professions. But a big part of attracting and holding on to the best teachers is raising the financial rewards, meaning a commitment to moving teacher pay up more quickly than our state has demonstrated the resolve to do.
Mississippi has to make updating and upgrading teacher education, attracting more higher-achieving students into the profession and paying them better when they get there the highest of education priorities. There is nothing in education that matters more than the teachers we put in our classrooms.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Vinny. nice report - thanks!
I keep telling myself that one day instead of turning left at Miami for the Bahamas I'll just keep travelling South
Back from the Keys
Got back yesterday from a few days in Florida. Had a great time and spent Saturday being poled around the flats by Ben Ionatta (a forum sponsor). We saw some huge tarpon but I failed to entice them to the fly. They're quite the sight when seen cruising over a bright sand bottom.
The weather was iffy down there all week with frequent thunderstorms and torrential rain, but luckily Saturday was sunny with justa light breeze. I caught one jack from the boat but saw an amazing and diverse amount of wildlife, including lemon-tip and black-tip sharks and the white wings of eagle rays as they broke the surface.
Most of my other fishing time was spent wading in the Bahia Honda State Park area. This is a beautiful location with clear sandy bottoms in the beach area. I saw just a few bones and some barracuda rocketing by and there were also a few larger, darker shapes lurking out in deeper water. I just caught a few smaller fish (I have no idea what they were) in this area, and nearly caught a nurse shark by accidentally stepping on it. I'm not sure which one of us got the bigger shock.
I have no hesitation in recommending Ben as a guide (he launches mainly out of the Key West area) and he can be found at bigfishonfly.com

Inspiring Japanese Culture
My small personal experience with Japanese culture is also favourable. Their respect for their elders takes things to a new level that just seems completely out of fashion in the west. I found that there was a lot to learn from the simple example of just one Japanese student's life.
Your Don Knuth comment made me chuckle. It's true; it would be hard not to love him. Maybe if more Christians lived like that, we wouldn't be "taking the Lord's name in vain" and giving God a bad rep in the world.

Crackpots and Disasters
If God exists, who do you think He would be more angry at: a person who makes over a million dollars a year, who may even claim to be a Christian, and still has most of it in his bank account at the end of the year; or a poor Haitian who practices voodoo?
I think this is a difference that a lot of us "religious wackos" miss. If we are somehow blessed with plenty in the western world, that is not evidence that God is rewarding us for something good we've done. Rather, it is proof that we are doing a piss-poor job at the responsibility God has given us to take care of the poor. And if any of these Christians read the Bible, they should take note of the parts that indicate that rich people who don't share are actually storing up judgment for themselves in the very wealth they take comfort in. Their riches are their judgment. That cool thousand, million, or billion in the bank will be a liability at the last day.
Don't assume someone is a Christian just because they claim to be. And by that same token, don't assume that God is pleased with Christians just because they claim He is.
If I understand the Bible correctly, North America could easily be more hell-worthy than Japan or Haiti, in the same way that Jerusalem in Jesus's day was more hell-worthy than Sodom and Gomorrah.

This may be a clue as to how to cleanup the recentlog. Perhaps an automatic email whenever your nick is mentioned in a blog post. Or a <call_you_out> tag, which requires a response within a month before you get pruned from the default recentlog threshold. :-)
Repairing the GoFlex Home NAS Drive
Each time the device powers off and restarts, it sets itself to use DHCP.
The device runs Linux under the hood, and even exposes the SSH port, but the accounts it uses are not obvious. And root is disabled.
To fix the device yourself, you will first need root access. The easiest way is described in this wiki page. Basically:
ssh USERNAME_hipserv2_seagateplug_XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX@DEVICE_IP_ADDRESS sudo -E -s
The USERNAME is the name of the account you have created on the device, when using the usual Windows interface. The XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is the PK Product Key located on the bottom of the device.
First, make it easier to gain root access by enabling root SSH logins:
Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncomment: PermitRootLogin yes Set your own root password: passwd root Restart SSH: service sshd restart
Next, there is a bug in the logic of the /etc/init.d/oe-bootinit script's ensure_firstbootnetwork() function. The entire function should probably only run if the /etc/firstboot file exists, but there is an if/else statement that only checks this for the first half of the if statement. The else is where the DHCP overwrite happens.
By this point, though, your device has passed the first boot, so you don't need this code anymore. I commented out the entire block of code, and replaced it with something innocuous, just to avoid any shell issues with empty functions:
echo do nothing > /dev/null
You'll want to be careful editing these files, since if you make a typo that prevents network boot, you won't be able to login to fix it.
It seems that Seagate has known about this issue since September, but there were no software updates that fix this issue. Using the web interface to check for updates, it claimed that the device was up to date. You may want to take this into consideration when making future purchasing decisions.
Good luck, and enjoy!

Rant: Why, Oh Why, Linux??
I've been experimenting with Debian Squeeze on an older T40 Thinkpad, and I've been noticing some disturbing trends. Trends that I probably haven't noticed since I haven't had hardware that new, and have been fairly happy using xterms and make on Debian Lenny.
I'm noticing a divergence between the command line and the GUI... a divergence that is horrifying. I installed the base system, got WiFi going using /etc/network/interfaces, and was happy. Then I installed the GUI, and my carefully configured network stopped working. The GUI had its own way to configure things. Yes, the GUI worked, if it was allowed to operate by itself, but that's not the point. Why have two? Why break one to make the other work? I still don't know where the GUI stores its network settings. They sure don't show up in the /etc config files.
Divergence #2: DNS works snappy from the command line, but somehow Firefox labours to find Google, or Slashdot, even though it was just there a few minutes ago. Really? This is 2010. I poke around the network with tcpdump to see what on God's green earth Firefox is doing. And it's looking up DNS entries for a tab I'm not even on.
Look, I know IPv6 is the next big thing, but don't turn it on unless it has zero impact on what people need right now. Let me easily choose which network has priority. And give me one place to set it. Not two. Not five. One.
So I say goodbye to Firefox and load Mozilla.. the ancient browser... it's worked for me in the past. Maybe it will be too old to fail. I load my home page, and watch the network with tcpdump. I see it going through the page, looking up DNS for all the links. Great, I think, at least it will be cached for me. I click on some links. A little better at first, but soon goes downhill. Still more forgetful than an Alzheimer's patient.
Why is it so hard to get networking working in 2010? My friend went through this with Ubuntu back in 2007, and it didn't work right. At least now it sort of hobbles along, but back then, NetworkManager only managed to dig itself a grave.
Enough about networks: my laptop is fairly old, and the battery is getting flakey. This is to be expected, I don't mind, the battery is still useful for an hour or two, and I'm happy. So I load up Gnome and work away on the battery. The icon shows me the battery discharge progress. Then it gets to the point where the battery is low. It pops up a gigantic black notification message, over top of other windows, telling me this. Fine. Thanks, I guess. Go away now. Then it gets critically low, and shows me another one. Ok ok, I get it, calm down. Then it alternates back and forth between low and critical. I even saw two notification messages on the screen at once... hiding other windows that I needed! And there is no way to turn these off! Unbelievable. Do I have to hack the code to get rid of these monstrosities? Why not just warn me once and let me deal with the consequences? Why pester me and assume I have no brain? I know the battery is low. I know that means I have 30 minutes of power left. Stop telling me what I already know!
Does every poor end user need to download some Gnome C code, and hack around in the code to figure out how to tune the system? I've already had to do it once to figure out how to disable automatic Suspend mode, when the GUI helpfully left that option off the menu. Now again for notifications? Good grief on a stick!
Poor Linux. Everybody running around the system, coding their own little kingdoms in their own little sandboxes, and the distros are including it as if it was something stable for end users. The kernel guys do one thing, the udev guys do another, the hotplugging notification guys do something else, the GUI guys do yet more (in multiple different ways, of course), and the user tries to push a rope uphill, suffering with a very busy but confused system crippled by lack of configuration options in the menus.
Dear programmers: the first setting you should code in your next fancy new feature is how to turn the bloody thing off.

Programmer Ethics
That is a pretty comprehensive list. I'm probably in the same camp as you claim to be, having broken every one.
The rules are pretty strong as well. I'm still mulling them over in my mind, but there is one that sticks out as unwise, or poorly written. It is #3, which says: "I will not write a program that fails to do tomorrow what it was able to do yesterday."
Taken purely literally, this prevents all change, all experimentation, all feature-level refactoring. I'm sure this is not what the rule was intended to say. I'm assuming it is more of an encouragement for better testing, so that a bugfix in one area doesn't break a feature in another.
Even taking this rule as a Testing Rule, I think it overreaches. There are steps that programmers can take to prevent regressions, but to assume that it is possible, or even common, to prevent them all is wishful thinking.
I think a better rule would be something like: "I will not refuse or hinder the fixing of a bug that I have caused."

The Return of Badr Hari: A Look at Badr vs. Alistair Overeem, 2009 WGP Semi-Finals
- Written by Dave Walsh
Over the past week we've taken a look at some of the fights from Badr Hari's 2009, the year after his meltdown in the K-1 World Grand Prix Finals against Remy Bonjasky and his loss to Alistair Overeem at Dynamite!! in K-1 rules. 2009 was Badr Hari's year for redemption, where he looked to avenge past losses and finally capture the K-1 World Grand Prix Title. He was poised to take over the world at this stage.
Entering into the Semi-Finals of the tournament, Badr Hari had already made short work of Ruslan Karaev in the Quarterfinals earlier that night. He was walking into a big rematch for himself, and a bout that a lot was on the line for Badr himself as well as the K-1 world. At the time, Alistair Overeem was billed as a MMA fighter "invading" K-1 for storyline purposes. His interviews were following the same narrative; he was a MMA fighter and he would prove that MMA was stronger than K-1. For Badr Hari, he was embarrassed in 2008 against Overeem after shaming himself by getting disqualified in a fight that he could have still won.
The Badr Hari that entered the ring against Overeem was a determined fighter, with his eyes not on revenge but on winning the K-1 World Grand Prix. The often-emotional "Bad Boy" was composed during this fight, taking on Overeem's great timing and clinch work with aggression and technical combinations. The fight opens up with Overeem's trademark at the time; clinching and sweeping Badr onto his back. A move like that would score him points in Muay Thai competition or be a takedown in MMA, but in K-1 rules it is just an annoyance. He used this technique throughout 2009 to frustrate his opponents and prevent them from getting their rhythm.
Overeem's movement frustrates Hari during the round, as Hari goes head hunting only for Overeem to time them and move out of the way and clinch before Badr finds an opening and lands a few body shots. Overeem continued to clinch while Badr was finishing his combinations with body shots that connected until Overeem made his first big mistake; throwing Badr Hari into the corner. Literally just throwing him into the corner, giving Badr a few moments to regain his composure and pick himself up. Much like we've seen in the past with Badr, if you plant him to the mat, he gets up and looks to take your head off. Overeem threw a left hook that Badr was able to time perfectly and slip a right hook of his own in that landed square on the temple. Overeem stayed on his feet until another quick, short right planted him face first.
Badr smelled blood at this point, and emotions were running high for both men. Overeem knew he was in trouble and Badr Hari wanted to keep good on his promise of knocking him out in under 3 minutes. Badr Hari swarmed at Overeem with rights and lefts, with the odd body shot to throw off Overeem's rhythm and leave an opening. Badr went for a head kick but overshot it, leaving his leg in Overeem's possession for Overeem to plant him on the mat. Hari followed up using the same combination of throwing a series of lefts and rights and finishing with a right body shot and what finally put Overeem out of the tournament was that combination with a left head kick at the end sending Overeem crashing into the corner.
For Badr Hari he had overcome yet another demon of his past, and left him heading into the 2009 K-1 World Grand Prix Finals against Semmy Schilt, the fighter that he had made short work of earlier in the year. Things were finally looking to fall into place for Badr Hari. Catch the video of the fight after the break.
Badr Hari returns on May 14th at It's Showtime Lyon against Gregory Tony after a year layoff. This series we are doing, "The Return of Badr Hari" looks back at the moments that led to Badr Hari's meltdown and time spent in jail, leading to his one year layoff from the world of kickboxing. The next one will cover the Semmy Schilt rematch from the Finals of the K-1 World Grand Prix 2009.

Moog Memorymoog
The Memorymoog was the last official synth, made back in 1982, to come from Moog before they eventually went bankrupt and out of business. As a result, it was never fully completed; as MIDI technology was just coming out, the Memorymoog never did get to fully implement MIDI capability. There were two versions of this synth: the Memorymoog and the Memorymoog Plus (the version can be determined via the Autotune feature). The Plus model added a basic MIDI implementation, a Sequencer, and it also had more stable oscillator control, making the Plus model more valuable to collectors than the standard model.
Due to the seemingly incomplete MIDI implementation as well as a less than perfect user-interface/operating system, some popular upgrades and retrofits have been produced and these days it is very common to find Memorymoogs with these retrofits. The most valuable upgrade is the Lintronics Advanced Memorymoog (LAMM), originally designed for the standard model, but also available for the Plus model. It provides a redesigned operating system, advanced MIDI functions and improved hardware components. Kenton Electronics produces MIDI retrofits for both the standard and Plus Memorymoog models (Kenton and Lintronics can even install these upgrades for you, considering the delicate nature and value of the Memorymoog). These upgrades can substantially increase the stability, MIDI functionality and value of the Memorymoog.
The Memorymoog is like having six Minimoogs stacked in one! Features include VCO syncing, sample and hold, and separate filters for each voice! It also has a Unison mode for a fat 18 oscillator monophonic bass and lead sound. And as its name would suggest, it has memory storage - 100 patches! It should also be noted that, while they appear relatively rugged, Memorymoogs are prone to problems, notably missing or stuck voices. It is used by 808 State, The Orb, The Crystal Method, Air, Jean-Michel Jarre, Freddy Fresh, Jan Hammer, Bon Jovi, INXS, Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Moog Cookbook, Rick Wakeman, Labradford, Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), George Duke and James "Jimmy Jam" Harris III.
