At a Glance
Cons: Have to install drivers to use
SuperSpeed USB 3.0
The good news is that most people only have USB 2.0 at this point, so this device is a great transition drive to have. While USB 3.0 is still slow-coming, it's safe to assume all computers will feature it at some point. With this Rugged drive, you won't have to worry when it comes time to make the switch.
What Makes it Rugged?
The external drive has an aluminum alloy shell that's supposed to be resistant to scratches -- and it passed my tests.
And Just How Rugged?
LaCie says the external drive is drop-proof at up to 2.2 meters (or around 86 inches) … so I tried at about that, landing on a hardwood floor. When I accessed the files, they were all there, undamaged.
It's important to note that dropping the drive while it's still plugged in isn't recommended. While dropping your portable hard drive is not really ever recommended, doing so while it's plugged in puts you at a much greater risk of losing your data (the whole drives-have-moving-parts-and-that's-when-they're-moving thing).
In my fairly unscientific testing, I moved 241MB of photos over to the drive in an average of 11.5 seconds. That works out to around 160Mbps -- much less than the LaCie's claim of "up to 480Mbps" (which is the USB 2.0 standard claim), but still very good. As always, it's important to note that data-transfer speeds can be affected by a number of things, including the computer being used.
Installation Required
The only thing that rubbed the wrong way was the need to install the LaCie Setup Assistant to format the drive. It's a small thing since the setup only took a short time, but it could pose a problem if you're planning to use the drive at your office and don't have the proper permissions -- it's not exactly "out of the box" useable.
Bottom Line
LaCie's drive lives up to its moniker, and it's a plenty fast drive to boot. Although we unfortunately couldn't put its true capabilities to the test, it's still a solid drive for the USB 2.0 user. Travelers should especially take notice.
After this review was posted, the folks at LaCie sent me a laptop with a built-in SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port. This allowed me to test the true USB 3.0 capabilities of the Rugged drive -- and man, was I blown away. This was my first hands-on trial of USB 3.0, and it makes 2.0 look like a turtle on tranquilizers.
I put the drive through the same non-scientific timed trials as I had with the 2.0 testing (even using the same files), and the transfer time was cut down to less than half. I moved 241MB of photos in an average of 5.45 seconds, working out to approximately 344Mbps. It felt like the blink of an eye.
Let me tell you -- if you're in the habit of backing up large amounts of giant files, you need to hop on the SuperSpeed bandwagon.

Stakeholder Input Process
As part of CHRP's Strategic Planning Process, four Stakeholder Input Meetings were held in the Bay Area in 2007 and 2008. Each meeting addressed one of the four Research Field Areas (Systems of Prevention and Care, Basic Biomedical Science, Clinical Science, and Social/Behavioral Science). The proceedings of the four input meetings are summarized in a meeting report.
The purpose of the meetings was to inform CHRP, help the program be responsive to changes in the California HIV epidemic, and maximize the impact of CHRP's grant programs and other activities. A major focus of the meetings was the development of high priority thematic areas to aid in the preparation of CHRP's 2008 Call for Applications.
Each day-long session was attended by approximately 40 researchers, advocates, service providers, policymakers and others engaged in HIV/AIDS epidemic response efforts. In addition to discussing how to prioritize CHRP funding initiatives participants shared their views about funding mechanisms, necessary collaborations and other implementation issues.
The session on Systems of Prevention and Care was held at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Oakland on October 24, 2007. The basic biomedical science session, clinical science session, and social/behavioral science session convened on April 22, 23 and 24, 2008, respectively. All of the April 2008 sessions were held at the Mission Bay Campus of the University of California, San Francisco. For the April meetings, the thematic areas for discussion were derived by CHRP staff from an open solicitation to respond to a web-based survey that asked participants to provide specific research questions that were of critical importance to California.

DURHAM — People with potential financial claims against former District Attorney Mike Nifong will have an opportunity to ask him questions this morning during the first hearing in his bankruptcy case.
Nifong, who was stripped of his law license for his misconduct in the Duke lacrosse case, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in federal court on Jan. 15.
The filing put all civil actions against the disbarred lawyer on hold on the day Nifong was supposed to respond to a civil lawsuit brought by Dave Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann.
In their civil suit, the exonerated lacrosse players allege a conspiracy by Nifong, the city of Durham, the DNA laboratory hired by Nifong and others to bring gang-rape allegations that were "a total fabrication."
Bankruptcy rules would not protect Nifong from financial claims if a judge finds that he willfully and maliciously injured the players in his prosecution of the lacrosse case. The hearing is at 9 a.m. in the Durham Centre, 300 W. Morgan St.

Worst experince...first we walk in Sat. at 6:45... no one in the place.... has the whole feel like is this place even any good....so since we had a rest.com coupon we go thru with it....the soup was salty, but I like it salty so it was delish to me...then the salad was warm, but the dressing was tasty...the waitress brags about the taziki so we are all excited, it comes and OH SO bland...and the hummus runny and VERY bland...so I eat my spinach in hopes to get some good for me food in... after a few bites, I think what is wrong with this....I LOVE spinach, then I realize they put green peppers in it and ruined me... they make me sick...SO note to people/ write exactly/ what you put in your dishes, so a person doesn't have to get sick on your food.
So the dish was unique roasted chicken---it came out dried out and flavorless....so we finish up meal, give the waitress our coupon and she says cool, like totally no big deal....shortly after the manager/GF who only sat at bar drinking tea, so who knows what she is...tapes up a peice of printer paper on doors as this is all happening, stating they don't take coupons-TACKY!!!!!!!....if I would of had that sign up, I would of never ate there in the first place due to lack of business...but gave a shot due to COUPON!!!!!
so waitress comes back after saying cool and said her boss told her rest.com doesn't work anymore WTF...and then she has the gall to say we can go on website and get 10% off.....so DH insists on getting that at least...just the whole feel was so unprofessional and then to leave with a belly ache, due to a not accurate descriptions... errrrrrr---could of went to so many other amazing greek rest. in area...
this is exactly what i'm sick and tired of! why are these restaurants choosing to participate in restaurant.com and groupon type deals. and then acting like the patron presenting it is trying to scam them?? they should be happy that ppl have enough interest in the establishment to pick their deal. grrrr..... after in encountered a similar situation, restaurant.com credited my account $50 to be used anywhere. did they help you out?

Local Government is best placed to commission the full range of Social Service functions and respond to future challenges to ensure services are fit for the future. These are the key findings of a major Social Services report published today by the Independent Commission on Social Services in Wales.
'From Vision to Action' outlines the significant Social Services progress made in recent years and sets out the key challenges for the next 10 years, namely for local government 'to lead a prioritised programme of change that will ensure services in the future respond to the challenges of our society.'
Cllr Meryl Gravell (Carmarthenshire), WLGA Spokesperson for Social Care said:
"I am delighted that the vast improvements and progress made by Social Services departments over recent years have been recognised. The ever increasing pressures on Social Services and the intense media attention it recieves can lead to a perception of crisis, when the reality is very different. Social Services teams work relentlessly to deliver improvements and to ensure that the most vulnerable people in their communities receive the help and support they need. We should be proud of our strengths and stop constantly focusing on challenges and I welcome the recognition in the report that this is not about fixing a broken system, but future proofing services to ensure they are able to meet the challenging times ahead. "
"I am also very pleased to see that the political and professional leadership partnership has been recognised as the model for the future along with an integrated and holistic approach. The report emphasises the opportunities presented by collaboration and we have already identified opportunities for a range of collaboration at different levels and for different functions across Wales."
Responding to a key recommendation outlined in the report, for core standards to be develped, Beverlea Frowen, Director for social services added:
"I welcome this recommendation as something the WLGA has long called for, we are already working constructively with partners to develop a portable common assesment process, which be the first in the UK, and led by Wales.."

Jacksonville Daily Progress
It's never too early to promote the fact that in a few months the Jacksonville Love Apple will rear its juicy, delicious, head.
Talking, of course, about the 29th-annual Tomato Fest, slated to begin downtown — Commerce and Austin Streets — on June 8.
Fans of the event are already starting to converge on the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce Facebook page.
"Can hardly wait for these J'ville tomatoes," posted FB follower Marsha Jackson.
Zvents describes Jacksonville as being "known for the best tastin' tomatoes" in this, the Tomato Capital of the World.
Thousands upon thousands of attendees are expected to attendTomato Fest There will be at least 26 activities — everything, basically, but the kitchen sink — as designed for the entire family.
This includes motorcycle events; tractor and antique car shows; various fishing, soccer and tennis tournaments; arts and crafts; a food court, a farmer's market, and a salsa contest.
There also will be a tomato shed tournament; a Kiwanis Club auction; a tomato shoot; a tomato eating contest; a history display; tomato peeling; a tomato mashing contest; and various activities for children.
(Wouldn't it be awesome to have a "Lucy And Ethyl" tomato stomping contest, too? Or is that completely and utterly out of context?)
According to the Jacksonville Chamber Facebook page, entry forms for Tomato Fest should be available fairly soon.
Anyhoo, to inquire about these fine June events, contact the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce at 903-586-2217 or visit www.jacksonvilletexas.com.
The Jacksonville Daily Progress will keep you posted.
For you business types who like a side dish of expediency and modern technology to go with your Civic Duty, it is important to note that the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce recently acquired PayPal for your payment convenience.
Payments are now being accepted online.
First place in this event goes to Jacksonville Iron & Metal -- tagline "Turn your scrap into cash!" — for making theirs the first online payment to the Chamber.
• 51st Tops In Texas Rodeo will be May 15 through May 18 of this year.
• The Relay For Life of Cherokee County Texas is scheduled for Fri., April 26 starting at 7 p.m. at JHS Mauldin Field.
This community-based, nationwide event sponsored by the American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by "preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service."
To inquire go to www.relayforlife.org; email@example.com; or call 903-683-7483.

I read on the bus to school, I read in the hallways between classes, I read during classes while the teachers talking and when I get home I usually read till 4 in the morning and get two hours and 40 minutes of sleep and start all over again.

LAS VEGAS -- The father of a man shot and killed by Metro Police early Saturday morning says he will seek legal action against the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Police responded to a call around 2 a.m. at an apartment complex Boulder Highway and Flamingo Road after receiving a call from parents who said their son was suicidal.
When officers arrived, the suspect was armed with several weapons and began firing at officers, police said. Officers returned gunfire hitting the man who was taken to Sunrise Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Sir John,
Can't wait for the new Pirates of the Caribbean. Been waiting like a vulture for its release. Surly it will give these mountains something to stir about. Lord knows they need it after this bestial winter. For months couped up like guinea pigs, its about time there's a reason to venture back outside and give our subversive typewriters a rest. I will give the movie a healthy review and I know my ravenous readers will be flooding the theaters, pockets stuffed with beer, especially the Danish; I think pirate treasure makes them delirious. Well keep up the good work. I and my readers love the series, they have all been well done. Ciao

Kerry Hannon, Contributor
I cover boomer careers, retirement, aging and personal finance.
This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing three retirees, who are working part-time jobs they love– for pay.
All three were hired after spending time as a volunteer. One is a ranger with the National Park Service, another does social work at a hospital, and one pours wine in a tasting room at a winery in Walla Walla, WA.
I know you're probably looking for full-time work, but it reminded me once again of the advice I like to give anyone who is out of work and feeling hopeless, frustrated, or simply pissed off at answering the question: How's the job hunt going?
Go do something for someone else. (Okay, I know wine pouring isn't exactly charity work.)
I recently learned that baby boomers today have the highest volunteer rate of any age group. They also volunteer at higher rates than past generations did when they were the same age, according to a report by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Here's why it's in your best interest to volunteer if you're looking for work right now.
A test run. If you choose a volunteer gig with an eye to your future, you can do a job before you actually "do" a job. This way you can get a taste of whether it really is something you want to do, or best suits you. You might think you'd make a great fundraiser, but when you really are out there asking for money, it stinks.
Slip in the back, Jack. It's a discreet way into a company, particularly a nonprofit. You slide in through the back door, so to speak. Employers can be won over when they see you in action, and it can even ally their fears of hiring an older worker. Age discrimination is real as I wrote in this post. It also makes it easier and less risky when he or she can hire someone they now know.
Shift to nonprofit work. "You can prove yourself in the nonprofit world and get the credentials that you've done it," ReServe Inc.'s president, Mary Bleiberg advises. "If you've been a controller in a small manufacturing company, for example, and have been let go, you might take on a similar position in the nonprofit sector pro bono, or at a dramatically reduced rate, working two or three days a week." In my opinion, ReServe is a terrific resource that matches professionals 55+ with the nonprofits that need them-mostly in New York, Baltimore and Miami at this stage.
Train for new line of work. If you're interested in moving into work as a nutritionist, or even opening a restaurant, for example, at DC Central Kitchen (dccentralkitchen.org), in Washington, D.C., you might volunteer at the organization's Nutrition Lab. You'll help prepare healthy meals cooked from scratch.
Build your resume. Still having trouble seeing how donating your time is a good use of your day? Believe me, if you've been in charge of the silent auction at a nonprofit's fundraising event, you can surely add event planning, or event marketing to your resume and online professional profile.This kind of volunteering project highlights your sales, marketing, and even management skills. (Continue to next page, please.)
If you're looking for a volunteer opportunity that will build on your skills AND help your community, be sure to check out your local YMCA branch!
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is a national program that provides volunteer matches for those 55 and better with non-profit organizations of their choice. Thoughtful matches are made with respect to the volunteer's interests, experience, and abilities, as well as the organization's current needs. RSVPs are sponsored locally by Area Agencys on Aging, Catholic Charities, YMCAs, and a variety of other non-profits, are free of charge, and offer some nice benefits to the volunteer (free insurance while volunteering and recognition, to name a few). It's "one-stop shopping" to find a volunteer opportunity! Everyone has something to give!

Concern at Red Hat: New Marketing Boss – Poorer Rating
Linux distributor Red Hat has promoted its previous Boss of Red Hat China, Michael Chen, to Vice President Enterprise Marketing. Chen will be assuming responsibility for global branding and enterprise communications.
Chen is the successor of Tim Yeaton, who had held the position since 2005 and left the company recently. Business administration expert Michael Chen has been with Red Hat since 2002, and started his career in product management. The new job for the marketing chief will mean moving to company headquarters in Raleigh.
Red Hat really doesn't need staff problems right now as the company has more than enough on its plate with its recent rating. Analysts downgraded Red Hat shares from "outperforming" to "neutral"; the target share price was revised from US$ 27 to 22. Financial experts from Credit Suisse quote internal organizational and structure issues that had begun with the acquisition of middleware vendor Jboss as the reason.

Carolina Panthers
Geoff Hangartner - #63 - C
|6' 5"/ 300 lbs.
|Houston, TX
|Texas A&M
|Years played
|2005, 5th round, 33rd pick by Panthers
Brees, Saints roll past woeful Panthers, 34-3
Drew Brees threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, Jabari Greer returned an interception for a touchdown and the Saints became the latest team to shut down Carolina's NFL-worst offense in a 34-3 victory over the banged-up Panthers on ...
Moore, Stewart out for Panthers
The Panthers' backfield is filled with backups after a pair of injuries early on in their game vs. the Saints.
Offseason may bring change to Panthers' backfield
Carolina will have the opportunity to break up the 1-2 punch of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, which has been the rock-solid base of its offense in past seasons, but will the team do it next offseason?
Marshall likely to leave Panthers after season
With Panthers CB Richard Marshall likely to qualify for unrestricted free agency after this season, he's expected to leave for greener pastures, according to NFC South Whispers.
Panthers claim LB Williams
The Panthers claimed LB Jason Williams off waivers from the Cowboys and waived LB Abdul Hodge on Wednesday.
Stewart gets big opportunity, drops the ball
The stage was set Sunday for Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart to make up for his unproductive fantasy season. But all he did was deliver another dud.
Bradford throws 2 TD passes in Rams win
The Rams' defense forced four turnovers, and rookie Sam Bradford continued his solid play in a 20-10 win over the Panthers.
Panthers' Davis hasn't given up on quest to return in 2010
We hear WLB Thomas Davis hasn't given up on his wish to return from the physically-unable-to-perform list in time for Carolina's Nov. 14 matchup against the Buccaneers.
Panthers RB Williams does not travel to St. Louis
The Panthers will be without RB DeAngelo Williams for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Panthers RB Williams misses practice
Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams missed practice on Wednesday with a foot injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Reports: Panthers to place LB Williams on I.R., sign LB Hodge
Panthers LB Jamar Williams will be placed on injured reserve, according to PFW correspondent Darin Gantt.
Rookie Meter: Gettis redeems himself
Panthers rookie WR David Gettis dropped a would-be game-tying TD pass late in Sunday's game but redeemed himself minutes later, helping the Panthers get their first win of the season.
Panthers RB Williams (foot) day to day
Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams sprained his foot during the second half of the Panthers' first win of the season and is day to day.
Kasay hits game-winner in Panthers' first win
Richard Marshall intercepted backup David Carr with just over a minute left, and John Kasay then kicked a 37-yard field goal with 39 seconds remaining to give the Carolina Panthers their first win, 23-20 over the San Francisco 49ers on ...
LB Anderson excelling for Panthers
Fifth-year LB James Anderson is having his best season, according to NFC South Whispers, and is providing one of the few encouraging signs for winless Carolina.
Hangartner missed practice Wednesday because of a back injury.||||||| Without going into detail, Bills coach Dick Jauron said Hangartner was held out because of a stiff back. That's potentially bad news for a team that has already shuffled its lineup this week after losing starting right tackle Brad Butler and starting tight end Derek Schouman to season-ending knee injuries. With 29 starts in 56 games over five seasons, Hangartner is the team's most experienced offensive lineman.
Hangartner has signed with the Buffalo Bills, becoming the first addition to their rebuilding line.||||||| The deal was announced by the Bills on Saturday after the former Carolina Panthers player spent the day meeting with team executives and coaches. A fifth-round draft pick from Texas A&M in 2005, Hangartner played both center and right guard for the Panthers.
Hangartner hopes to return for the playoffs after being knocked out of a 33-31 win over New Orleans on Sunday.||||||| Carolina has a bye, giving Hangartner time to heal.
Hangartner signed a three-year, $1.032 million contract with the Carolina Panthers.|||||||

Declare Yourself, It's Time to Confront the Financial Coup
|Email This - Print This
By David DeGraw, AmpedStatus
|You should be insulted and outraged by this disgraceful charade of a healthcare "debate."
It seems that everyone is missing the elephant in the room. We could have easily insured every American with the highest quality of healthcare in the world, if our government
used just a small fraction of the money that Wall Street stole from the public.
It is OBSCENE!
This is literally a crime against humanity.
You could take another small fraction of the stolen money and pay off every foreclosed home in the US.
Just ask yourself: Why did our government give trillions of taxpayer dollars to the same people who destroyed the economy?
Think about that?
I'll tell you why, because the government has been taken over. A financial coup has occurred and the Wall Street elite have stolen trillions of dollars in public wealth, and they don't want a middle class anymore. People need to start understanding this.
If the economic crisis were an extreme weather event, at least the people would have a chance to actually see what is happening. When I look at the economic coup, I see a huge tsunami like wave rising out of the Atlantic and the Pacific at the same time. The fault lines have shook and millions have lost their homes, as the number of homeless continues to grow at a staggering rate. The tides are quickly rising, as a nation of propagandized citizens remain confused and passive.
So I stand here, watching our nation in crisis, watching the waters rise, trying to get the message out:
Where are the lawmakers and politicians? Where is the press? Those with the most power are now coup conspirators and are on the payroll – very few attempt any resistance.
There are others, millions of others, who have also noticed the unprecedented theft of public wealth that has taken place, and it is just a matter of time before there is critical mass awareness. But to those of you already aware, I say: you see the waters rising; you see the urgency of now. It's time to sound the alarm; the time to act is now!
The Wall Street Coup Leaders will remain in power for as long as they are allowed to hoard public wealth, which rightfully belongs to the masses. The denying of wealth to the masses is the key to their power. Most citizens don't understand what is being withheld from them.
The coup leaders have desperately consolidated wealth and resources in an attempt to remain in power because they know their system of control is obsolete, and they are systematically trying to keep the majority of humanity from realizing their potential. The US government and the US mainstream media, with few exceptions, remain on the coup payroll.
The people of the US must urgently find ways of communicating on a mass scale, primarily through the Internet, radio and on a word of mouth basis. We must quickly build alternative political parties and vote out Republicans and Democrats – the Wall Street elite now dominate BOTH parties.
It will be a difficult battle, but we have the numbers and they have a diseased system of defense. Once mass public awareness looks imminent, the coup servants (politicians, mainstream media) will quickly abandon ship. Economic Justice is still available, if there are people willing to fight for it.
People who are aware of this need to start taking it upon themselves and take the lead, declare yourself.
Research Tools:
We have created these media materials to supplement your research. Hopefully it can be a starting point for those who are still mostly unaware. But you know your audience better, so you can figure out how to best reach them. Do whatever it takes to make people aware of this coup. We need mass awareness…

Food intolerance refers to a physical response to a food or food additive that is not an allergic reaction. It differs from a food allergy in that it does not involve the immune system and it is much more common.
Food intolerances are often mistaken as food allergies. Some common food intolerances include food additives like MSG and sulfites; lactose; gluten; food poisoning; histamine toxicity; and ulcers and cancers of the digestive tract. Food intolerances do not usually cause as severe a reaction as food allergies, but they can cause nausea, vomiting, painful cramping, and diarrhea.

Through special programs planned for freshmen, transfer, and graduate students, Orientation provides essential information about degree requirements, campus resources, and registration. During Orientation, new students receive academic advising and learn about the campus from current students. Tours of the campus are also available.
Both the Hayward Hills and Concord campuses offer orientation programs. Detailed information about Orientation is mailed to all individuals who have been admitted. Students awaiting final notice of admission may attend Orientation, although attendance does not constitute admission by the university.
In addition to the information mailed directly to applicants, the Class Schedule published each quarter provides specific information regarding the dates and locations of orientation programs. For additional information, contact Student Life and Leadership Programs at 510-885-3657. The Class Schedule may be viewed online at: www.csueastbay.edu/schedule/.
What academic advising is available to me?
Consulting with an Advisor
Every student who enters Cal State East Bay is entitled to receive academic advising from a faculty member in the department or, if taking an Interdisciplinary Studies major, a committee member in his or her major. Freshmen are advised Undeclared students, as well as most undergraduate students, are advised by Academic Advising and Career Education (AACE). (See the "Academic Assistance" section of the Student Services chapter for information on Academic Advising and Career Education.) All new students must see their advisors (major advisor and one of the AACE academic counselors) at least once each quarter during their first year at Cal State East Bay.
Freshmen and sophomores should develop a program with their advisors that will satisfy all requirements (general education, major, and minor or option if required) for the degree. Undergraduate transfer students are encouraged to attend orientation for their first advising session or contact Academic Advising and Career Education (AACE) at (510) 885-3621. Once transfer students receive the evaluation of their previous college credit, they should develop with their advisor a complete program of courses leading to the baccalaureate degree. Students should consult with their major and GE advisors before making changes to their program.
For information on the catalog requirements under which a student may graduate, see the Baccalaureate Degree Information chapter.
Faculty Office Hours
The faculty of the university is available during regularly scheduled office hours, which are at times other than scheduled classes. The times of the office hours are posted outside each faculty office, at the faculty member's department, on the department website, and on the faculty member's course syllabi. The faculty member informs the department of his/her office hours the first day of classes each quarter.
Full-time faculty members maintain a minimum of three office hours per week and also make provision for meeting with students by appointment at a mutually convenient time beyond the stated office hours. The full-time faculty member's office hours hall be held over at least two days and at least in half-hour blocks. Part-time faculty will maintain the equivalent of 30 minutes per week for each course of their teaching load.
Faculty teaching online must also hold office hours and may make alternative arrangements with the Department Chair to be available online or by telephone. Online faculty's office hours must include at least one hour of availability by telephone per week.
If for any reason a faculty member cannot meet the posted office hours, the faculty member will inform the Department Chair. If possible, the department will note the absence on the faculty office door.
Normal office hours are maintained during the Final Examination period. If a final examination conflicts with a posted office hour, an alternative hour is to be posted for that week alone.
How do I receive course requirement information?
Faculty shall provide you with a written statement containing the following information:
- office number, office hours, and office telephone number;
- required texts and any other required and/or recommended material;
- specific course requirements, such as exams, quizzes, papers, field trips, labs, and so on;
- grading policy (the relative weight of examinations, quizzes, papers, class participation, and other factors);
- approximate due dates for assignments and exams;
- attendance requirements (if any);
- policy on makeup work.
The faculty is also encouraged to include items such as:
- daily and/or weekly assignments,
- type of quizzes and exams (subjective, objective, etc.), and
- description of the course (format, objectives, etc.).
Furthermore, faculty should advise you of their expectations for you in the course no later than the end of the second class. Any changes in course requirements should be communicated to you in a timely manner. It is your responsibility to read the course statement and to request any clarification of course policies. If you add the course after the first week of class, you must seek course information in a timely manner.
This policy is to be implemented by each department.
What honors programs does the university offer?
There is a University Honors Program open to any student who meets the criteria for admission. See the University Honors Program section of the Student Services chapter of this catalog. Individual departments may also develop honors programs. Departmental Honors Programs are upper division programs designed to provide special courses and advanced, independent reading and research for superior students in the individual majors. Contact the chair of the department for additional information.

CHAPEL HILL — UNC-CH police released pepper spray and threatened to use a Taser on student protesters Tuesday evening when a crowd disrupted a speech by former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo opposing in-state tuition benefits to unauthorized immigrants.
Hundreds of protesters converged on Bingham Hall, shouting profanities and accusations of racism while Tancredo and the student who introduced him tried to speak. Minutes into the speech, a protester pounded a window of the classroom until the glass shattered, prompting Tancredo to flee and campus police to shut down the event.
Tancredo was brought to campus by a UNC chapter of Youth for Western Civilization, a national organization of students who oppose mass immigration, multiculturalism and affirmative action.
Before the event, campus security removed two women who delayed Tancredo's speech by stretching a 12-foot banner across the front of the classroom. It read, "No dialogue with hate."
Police escorted the women into the hallway, amid more than 30 protesters who clashed with the officers trying to keep them out of the overcrowded classroom. After police released pepper spray and threatened the crowd with a Taser, the protesters gathered outside Bingham Hall.
Police spokesman Randy Young said the pepper spray was "broadcast" to clear the hallway. He said officers' use of force was under investigation by the department.
Inside the classroom, several student protesters screamed curses at Tancredo and Riley Matheson, president of the UNC-Chapel Hill chapter of Youth for Western Civilization.
"This is the free speech crowd, right?" Tancredo joked.
UNC-CH geography professor Alpha Cravey joined protesters in chanting the names of Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus.
But campus visitors and some faculty members in the capacity crowd of 150 urged the students to let Tancredo speak.
"We are the children of immigrants, and this concerns us," said junior Lizette Lopez, 22, vice president of the Carolina Hispanic Association. "So we would at least like to hear what he has to say if you want to hear what we have to say."
The protesters relented, and Tancredo began to speak, describing failed state and federal legislation aimed at providing in-state tuition benefits for undocumented immigrants.
Two women stretched out another banner, first along one of the aisles and then right in front of Tancredo. Tancredo grabbed the middle of the banner and tried to pull it away from one of the girls. "You don't want to hear what I have to say because you don't agree with me," he said.
The sound of breaking glass from behind a window shade interrupted the tug-of-war.
Tancredo was escorted from the room by campus police.
About 200 protesters reconvened outside the building. "We shut him down; no racists in our town," they shouted. "Yes, racists, we will fight, we know where you sleep at night!"
Reached by phone after his departure, Tancredo said he had never been silenced by protesters, even at American University where 400 of them recently attended one of his speeches.
"We're very sorry that former Congressman Tancredo wasn't able to speak," Chancellor Holden Thorp said in a prepared statement. "We pride ourselves on being a place where all points of view can be expressed and heard, so I'm disappointed that didn't happen tonight. I think our Public Safety officers appropriately handled a difficult situation."
Police spokesman Randy Young said he couldn't recall student protesters shutting down another campus event.
"Fascists are fascists," Tancredo said. "Their actions were probably the best speech I could ever give. They are what's wrong with America today. … When all you can do is yell epithets, that means you are intellectually bankrupt."
UNC graduate student Tyler Oakley, who had organized the protest, said he regretted the broken window but not silencing Tancredo. "He was not able to practice his hate speech," said Oakley. "You have to respect the right of people to assemble and collectively speak."
Lopez said she had mixed emotions about how the event ended.
"We were more interested in an intellectual conversation instead of a shouting match," she said. "Ironically, the people that are trying to get our voices heard silenced us."
Matheson, who formed UNC-YWC this year with seven other conservative students, said he knew Tancredo would be controversial but he never expected this kind of response.
"I didn't expect them to literally chase him out of the building," he said.

I'm into JL Audio and I was told if you have the money, spend it on JL. I'm not sure if this is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm fairly knew in this whole audio deal so please help me out.
My friend has a 3000 watt system in his Blazer and it hits hard. I sat in the passenger seat and I could feel and hear the bass pushing. It's loud enough to shake the car next to him. Do you think the JL Audio 13W6v2 would create the same kind of bass his would? Two of those JL subs should create equivalent if not louder bass then his. I believe he has MTX.

News release from the Laguna Beach Unified School District:
The Festival of Arts Foundation awarded four Laguna Beach High School departments with generous grants that will enhance the visual and performing arts education programs at our District.
The grants received are $5,000 apiece for LBHS' art, ceramics, dance and drama departments.
Festival of Arts Foundation President Scott Moore elaborates, "The Festival of Arts Foundation is proud to support Laguna's youth in their pursuit of art, whether it be in preparation for their future art careers or just to help enrich their appreciation for the arts. It is the Foundation's hope that our grants will help our schools' teachers ignite the artistic flame inside these students, who can then apply for college scholarships through the Festival of Arts Scholarship Program."
The Foundation, which was established in 1989, was co-founded by John Rayment and David Young.
Earnings and income from the endowment are distributed annually to Laguna Beach High School graduates as scholarships and as grants to nonprofit art organizations and educational institutions in Laguna Beach and surrounding areas.
Principal Joanne Culverhouse remarks, "Laguna Beach High School is extremely fortunate to receive the generous grants from the Festival of Arts Foundation. The grants provide assistance to support our students and provide them with opportunities that many schools do not have. The Visual and Performing Arts Programs are enhanced thanks to the support of the Foundation and our partnership makes a difference. We are fortunate to live in a community where there is strong support to promote the Arts within our school."
LBHS drama teacher Mark Dressler agrees, "The LBHS drama program has been fortunate to receive generous grants from the Festival of Arts Foundation that have been used to help us produce scores of excellent musical and non-musical plays over the last twenty years. Our audiences are consistently astounded by our high production values, particularly by our professionally designed and built sets, which has been possible because of the generosity of the Festival of Arts Foundation."
LBHS ceramics teacher Somer Selway shares, "The ceramics classes at LBHS are so appreciative of the generous donation made by the Festival of Arts Foundation to the 3D program. The funds will be used to purchase clay and various glaze supplies for the students, so they can express and explore their creative personalities!"
Art teacher Bridget Beaudry-Porter said, "We are so thankful for the funds we received for the Art Department. I teach Art I, AP Studio Art, Honors Studio Art, and Photography. Currently, I have been able to supply the classroom with much needed sketchbooks and drawing materials, as well as canvases, acrylic paint, printmaking materials, and paper. These supplies have really enriched our program at LBHS. I am able to teach new units this year with our additional materials and supplies. We have a unit on mixed media with colored pastels, and we are going to learn how to use acrylic mediums with painting. In addition, my Photography students will be able to use a backdrop and new studio lighting to enhance their work. We appreciate the support of the Festival of Arts Foundation, and my students and I are eager to learn and thank the Foundation for their generosity."
Dance teacher Lisa Jay concurs, "The Festival of Arts Foundation's generous grants are greatly appreciated and have been put to excellent use in supporting the work being done in our Dance Department. Their support has helped us stage two major productions annually for our community. In addition to our winter and spring concerts, our students also choreograph an entire concert on their own and this project is presented in our dance studio here at the high school."

By Loella Haskew
There are two things you should know about me. First, I love Walnut Creek. That's why I've chosen to live and work here. Second, I firmly believe that public safety is the number one priority of any city government.
I am sure you are thinking: "Big deal – every candidate says they love Walnut Creek and supports public safety." You're right, all the candidates do.
But here is the thing that every voter needs to consider: what will it really take to preserve the Walnut Creek that we know and love – and which candidates have a realistic plan to do that?
I am a licensed CPA who served on the city's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Fiscal Health, so I understand the financial needs of our city.
I am the only new candidate in this race that has identified and publicly stated a multi-pronged approach to increasing revenues and decreasing costs, including support for a referendum to raise the sales tax. Contrast that to the other two new candidates who have pledged to increase funding for public safety but not raise taxes.
Here is what will really happen. Our City's tax revenues (that took a big hit in the recession) will not rebound in line with the projected growth in operating costs. If no additional revenues are identified, there will be cuts in programs and services. In addition, infrastructure maintenance must be put on hold and that will mean bigger replacement and repair expenditures down the line.
Thus, we start the slippery slope to the erosion of the perceived special value of our City. That reduces the attractiveness to new homebuyers and visitors, reducing our property tax and sales tax base, which limits our revenues and so the cycle goes.
For decades, our city council understood this critical balancing act and acted accordingly. As citizens who love Walnut Creek, we cannot allow our council to head in the opposite direction.
I am the only candidate willing to go on record supporting a sales tax increase so we can expand City funding and accomplish the goal of maintaining the balanced level of everything we appreciate in our City including solid, effective public safety.
It takes courage, as a candidate, to say we need to consider raising taxes. It takes courage to stand up to innuendo. It takes courage to have a vision for the community and run for City Council to make it happen. I want to take a stand for what is right. I am running to make a difference.
Loella Haskew
Loella Haskew is a candidate for Walnut Creek City Council Nov. 6.
P.S. There is one more thing you should know about me. I'm not a big fan of people misrepresenting the viewpoints of others to skew an outcome. I refer you to the Rossmoor News to see what each candidate really said at the forum and page 10 of a recent City report that provides accurate crime data.

Sandra Hage of Buckley slid into a snowbank on 17 Road on her way to work about 6 a.m. on Jan. 11, during one of the many bad storms that have plagued the area this winter.
"I called for towing service, but was informed that no one was available and to try back at 9 a.m.," Sandra wrote. "Several people stopped, but only to let me know that they wouldn't be able to help in fear of going off the road also, which I totally understood."
About 8 a.m., a "wonderful man" named Abraham stopped and, after several attempts while slip-sliding on the ice, was able to pull Sandra out.
"After sitting alone in the dark for almost two hours, he certainly was a blessing that I will never forget. Thanks again, Angel Abraham!" Sandra wrote.
Rose Scharmen of Traverse City wrote to thank all the Good Samaritans who stopped to help when they got stuck in a snowbank shortly after 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 6, while turning left off High Lake Road into Supply Road.
"Every passing car stopped and asked if they could help and less than five minutes later a very nice gentleman in a black Jeep Liberty (we think) with a yellow tow rope pulled us out," Rose wrote. "We did not catch his name, but plan to pass his kindness on the next time we see someone stuck."
Donna Martin of Kingsley wrote on behalf of Summit City Grange 672 Kingsley to thank the merchants and individuals who donated items for their Hunters Supper raffle in November.
She went on to thank all the people who attended the supper and bought raffle tickets.
"We also want to thank everyone who attends our monthly dances held on the fourth Saturday of the month," she continued. "Our Grange building is over 100 years old and we want to keep it."

Before the presidential debate began last week, Kathy Chicoine was already thinking about what would be discussed.
For Chicoine, a special education teacher from Cuyahoga Falls, the debates provide substance that short political ads often dismiss.
"I wish there were more debates," Chicoine said, "instead of spending money on the ads."
As the candidates met center stage at the University of Denver, Chicoine couldn't help but notice the casual exchange between the two.
"Not that it'll sway my vote, but I want to know Romney's motivation."
She wants to know why Romney wants to be president. Romney turned the debate into a war, fighting for as much time as he could get, Chicoine said. What pundits called an "irritated and disinterested performance" by the president was, according to her, a calm and collected portrayal.
She liked Obama addressing education and teacher training.
She views Obama, whom she favors, as someone with a good sense of humor, which is something that makes him more likable to her.
But she's not laughing. Chicoine still uses the word "hopeless" over and over to describe how she feels toward the candidates and the election.
"It's not gonna get better."
Chicoine, 51, was shocked to hear Obama talk about a teacher with 42 students in her class and 10-year-old textbooks. It struck a chord.
She said the debate provided more details for both sides. She even felt as if they were playing to undecided voters, like her.
Still, each platform shares policies that she doesn't agree with when it comes to education.
The "Race to the Top" program touted by Obama doesn't work, Chicoine said, who said a successful system needs to help students on a personal level, not through incentivized innovation. It's something people don't understand unless they work in the field, she said.
"They don't know what they're up against."
Chicoine won't cast a vote until that "hopeless" feeling subsides. She looks to each candidate to bring clarity and purpose.
"The problems seem so big and insurmountable," Chicoine said.
She feels bogged down by the innumerable issues. She spends more time sifting through the issues than learning about the ones that matter to her.
"How do you pick one," Chicoine said. "Some are more personal to me."
