Employment and Workplace
Staff Disciplinary Practices
Causes for Discipline
Any action by a USC staff employee contrary to the university's mission, operations or policy may trigger disciplinary action. The availability of progressive discipline does not alter the at-will nature of university staff employment; employment and compensation are at-will and therefore can be terminated, with or without cause, at any time without prior notice, by the university or the employee. In the event of a discrepancy between this policy and a collective bargaining agreement, the terms of the collective bargaining agreement will govern.
Human Resources Administration (HRA) is available to advise departments when staff employee behavior occurs that necessitates discipline; departments must contact HRA prior to initiating a request to terminate. No staff employee may be involuntarily terminated without HRA authorization. (For detailed discipline guidelines for staff, see Appendix AStaff Disciplinary Procedures.)
Some categories and specific behaviors and actions that may result in discipline and/or termination include, but are not limited to:
Attendanceunauthorized or unapproved absences; failure to follow departmental procedures regarding notification of or requests for leave; habitual tardiness; chronic absenteeism; patterns indicating abuse of leave policy; falsification of timekeeping records; failure to return from approved leaves; job abandonment.
Behaviorunprofessional or unacceptable conduct in the work environment, including inappropriate attire and appearance, and behavior which may adversely affect morale. See Appropriate Attire and Appearance policy.
Confidentialitybreaching confidentiality through unauthorized access, use, release or retention of confidential or proprietary information concerning the university and any affiliated entities, operations or personnel (for example, information and/or records related to payroll, personnel, student, alumni, donor, patient, financial, business, research or teaching), regardless of intent.
Conflict of interestfailure to disclose to employee's immediate supervisor a situation or proposed activity that may constitute a conflict or potential conflict of interest (for example, participating in any transaction between the university and a business entity in which the employee or his or her relative has a personal or financial interest); supervising or hiring a relative or intimate friend unless such relationship is properly disclosed and managed; accepting employment with a supplier, competitor or any other employer that might impair performance of university duties; accepting gifts from prospective or current suppliers, unless gift is of nominal value (for example, isolated meal invitations); disclosing confidential university information or using such information for personal gain. See Conflict of Interest in Professional and Business Practices and Conflict of Interest in Research policies.
Discrimination or harassmentconduct which constitutes discrimination, harassment or sexual harassment as outlined in the university's Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action and Non-Discrimination and Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault policies, including discrimination or harassment based on protected class status, denial of pregnancy or family medical leave, or retaliation related to any of the above; failure to complete mandatory training programs provided by the university.
Dishonestyproviding false, fraudulent or inaccurate information in the course of conducting business, on university documents or during university investigations, audits or complaint processes; making bad faith allegations of wrongdoing, including allegations that are knowingly false, capricious, maliciously motivated or made with reckless disregard for facts.
Drugs and alcoholinappropriate use or unlawful manufacture, distribution or possession of controlled substances; abuse or misuse of prescribed medication; being under the influence of drugs or alcohol during work hours (the university has the right to take reasonable steps to determine if an employee is working under the influence, including requiring non-invasive testing). Employees with a substance abuse problem are urged to discuss the issue with their supervisor and seek confidential assistance from the Center for Work and Family Life. See USC Drug-Free.
Electronic resourcesuse of university computing and/or electronic resources to transmit intimidating, harassing, or threatening electronic communication and/or forging electronic communication; unauthorized use of email including unsolicited, junk, chain or unauthorized mass mailings; advertising by external agencies on university websites (except for appropriate acknowledgment of corporate sponsorships); promoting or executing commercial or for-profit endeavors on university webpages; distribution or reproduction, in any digital form, of copyrighted music, video, or other multimedia content without the express written permission of the material's rightful owner; reproduction of copyrighted materials, trademarks, or other protected material in any digital form without express written permission from the material's owner; distribution, duplication or use of copyrighted software without appropriate licensing agreements or use of software inconsistent with licensing. See the Information Technology section of the university policy site.
Ethicstheft; unfairness; disrespect for the rights and dignity of others; harassing, belittling, harming, bullying or taking advantage of others; or conflicts of interest. See the university Code of Ethics and Conflict of Interest in Professional and Business Practices policy.
Gamblinggambling conducted on university property at any time or while on university business regardless of location, or offsite at university-related events.
Government laws and regulationsfailure to comply with any federal, state, local or administrative law and/or regulation governing the university.
Insubordinationrefusal to follow (or following only after complaining or resisting) a reasonable written or verbal instruction from a supervisor or other university employee with apparent authority, including Department of Public Safety officers in the discharge of their duties.
Investigationsimpeding or failing to fully, immediately and truthfully cooperate with any university inquiry or investigation, including investigations of complaints about research misconduct, auditing matters, violence, discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, retaliation, or any other matter. Supervisors must also cooperate and may not discourage employee participation in an investigation.
Misappropriationunauthorized use of university assets which results or could have resulted in financial loss to the university (for example, theft; embezzlement; fraud; conflict of interest; failing to report known or suspected misappropriations regardless of magnitude; supervisors, managers, department heads or deans failing to report possible misappropriations to Audit Services). See Misappropriation and Conflict of Interest in Professional and Business Practices policies.
Obscene or pornographic materialuse of university computers or other resources to access, view, download, store or send obscene, abusive or pornographic documents, messages (including jokes), files, images, emails, videos, music, or links to any website featuring sexual, pornographic or obscene messages or images, absent legitimate business need (academic research or curriculum or as part of a disciplinary investigation). However, such need must be disclosed in advance to supervisor. Employees who receive such material unsolicited or inadvertently must report the receipt to their system administrator or Information Security, and take steps to avoid offending others with the received material (for example, by not forwarding or displaying it).
Patient health or wellbeingactions or omissions that directly or indirectly cause harm or have the potential to harm (for example, medication errors, gross negligence, improperly performed medical procedures, performance of medical procedures not trained and/or licensed to perform, falsification of medical records, failure to report and/or follow up on abnormal findings, allowing others to harm a patient by failing to properly supervise or failing to report).
Productivityfailure to perform responsibilities or essential functions as per the job description; failure to meet job requirements (for example, maintaining required licenses and certifications); failure to perform work in a productive or cost-effective manner, or with a reasonable error rate; any conduct adversely affecting efficient or orderly workflow.
Reporting wrongdoingfailure to report: suspected or actual wrongdoing, including actions which interfere with or adversely affect work operations; inappropriate behavior; policy violations; and condoning or supporting such actions. Such reports may be made to either the employee's supervisor or the appropriate university office. See Staff Complaint Procedures; Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault; and Accounting and Auditing Complaint Reporting policies; also see Compliance Help & Hotline.
Safetyfailure to follow safe work practices, failure to report unsafe work practices, failure to immediately file accident reports, failure to immediately report safety hazards to a supervisor or Risk Management. See Safety policies.

Appendix AStaff Disciplinary Procedures
Following are the criteria and guidelines for assessing, evaluating and administering discipline to staff employees. Excluded are faculty and those claiming student status (including teaching and research assistants). Nothing in the following guidelines is intended to create any contractual rights or alter the at-will nature of the employment relationship. In the event of a discrepancy between these procedures and a collective bargaining agreement, the terms of the collective bargaining agreement will govern.
- Consistency in the application of discipline is important. Although different situations involving different staff employees and circumstances call for discretion in determining appropriate disciplinary action, similar offenses should be met with approximately similar discipline.
- Discipline should be applied in proportion to the magnitude of the offense.
- In cases where there is some doubt as to whether the employee is fully aware of expectations, discipline may consist of a series of disciplinary actions. These disciplinary actions may include oral warnings, written warnings, and/or disciplinary administrative leave. Immediate termination may be initiated for the most serious offenses or willful violations of policies and procedures.
- All inappropriate behavior, disciplinary actions taken relative to that behavior, and expectations for correction of behavior should be fully documented and communicated to the employee in a disciplinary counseling session. Verbal warnings should be documented with a notation to the department personnel file at the time the warning takes place.
The following should be considered when applying discipline:
The staff employee should have performance/behavior problems addressed as soon as they arise and be given an opportunity to correct the issues. The following types of disciplinary actions are to be used as appropriate. The employee should receive disciplinary action that matches the level of the performance/behavior issue; generally, discipline escalates from a verbal warning through to a final warning if the issue is not corrected.
Oral warningthe employee is advised of performance/behavior that needs correction. The discussion with the employee should explain why the performance/behavior is unacceptable, define the expectations for appropriate behavior, and describe the possible consequences of further or repeated violations. This discussion should be fully documented and placed in employee file.
Written warningif oral warnings have not corrected the performance/behavior, or if performance/behavior is significant, severe or repeated, a written warning should be issued which specifies the inappropriate performance/behavior using examples where appropriate, refers to any previous warnings, details the required corrections and performance/behavior expectations, and suggests training or other tools that will assist in the success of the employee. Written warnings should explain what will happen if performance/behavior is not corrected, including the possibility of termination. All written warnings should include a place for the staff employee to sign, verifying that the document was discussed and a copy received.
Disciplinary administrative leaveif the employee's performance/behavior is significant or egregious enough to merit suspension, or if employee fails to correct performance/behavior problems within a reasonable period of time despite prior oral and/or written warnings, the employee may be placed on unpaid or paid disciplinary administrative leave. The department must contact HRA for consultation and authorization prior to putting a staff employee on disciplinary administrative leave.
Terminationif the employee's performance/behavior is significant or egregious enough to merit termination, or if employee fails to correct performance/behavior problems within a reasonable period of time despite prior oral and/or written warnings and/or suspension, the employee may be terminated. The department must contact HRA prior to initiating any action to terminate a staff employee. No staff employee may be involuntarily terminated without HRA authorization.

Knack may only stand three-feet tall, but his ability to use relics to assume other forms makes him a force against the goblin invaders.
The E3 trailer shows some of the forms that Knack can assume using relics – geometrical objects of rare power that can turn Knack into a 30-foot tall terror.
The game also features 60 different secret rooms with treasure chests that allow you to access new game+ characters and put together rare gadgets. Relics and gadgets can be shared among your friends, and the title utilizes remote play with the PlayStation Vita.
Visit our E3 News Headquarters for all the stories from the show.

I don't know how to feel about this game, It feels like a tech demo that Sony decided to make into a game.
I don't play these type of games, probably because I'm a bit older but this does look pretty cool. I hope it turns out great for Mark Cerney.
Definitely getting this, just hope it was developed by Insomniac. I love their PlayStation platformers. I think Sony Japan and Mark Cerny will do platformers justice though.
This should at least be entertaining to see.
I have been sold on this since I saw Mark Cerney made it. I liked the scene where he was running to the camera. It reminded me of Crash!
This is sweet.
Really cool looking brawler/platformer. Definately a day one purchase
i'm not sure if i will get this for PS4,it seems to be for a younger audience
Looks like a good game. This reminds somewhat of Katamari Damacy, in the sense that you have to collect more objects to get bigger.
definitely getting this game. this game looks awesome. i like how everyone in the comment section are saying that this game is aimed at a younger audience, rather than questioning whether or not the game looks fun. i love platformers, and i'll play them until i'm old and rotting.
This game looks like it could be pretty fun to play. Not sure what to feel about his voice, but I intend to keep an eye on it.
Would make a great launch title.
This game looks awesome. I'm always thrilled to see Sony show off colorful, broadly appealing stuff next to games like Killzone, and Knack is just the latest in a long line of games that include Modnation Racers, Ape Escape, Sly Cooper and Littlebigplanet. This looks stunning too, although the in-game shots look much less impressive than the (I guess) pre-rendered stuff. It looks about on par with Skylanders Swap Force and Disney Infinity... which at least means it's still better looking than Super Mario 3D World and Sonic Lost Worlds. And with Mark Cerny here, I'm certain it'll be as fun to play as it is pretty to look at.
This game seems like it is going to be a lot of fun!
this game looks like Kameo

July 8, 2003
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy,
Senate Judiciary Committee
Nominations Hearing
July 8, 2003
Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee holds a hearing for the 8th and 9th Executive Branch nominees given hearings in the past six months, in addition to 12 circuit court nominees and 26 district court nominees who have been given hearings this year.
This rapid pace for hearings for both short-term and lifetime appointees represents a stark change from the pace of consideration of nominees by a Republican majority when a Democrat was in the White House. Today's hearing is scheduled back to back with a hearing tomorrow for five more district court nominees and another Executive Branch nominee whose paperwork was not even submitted until the Wednesday before the 4th of July.
I mention this because the Committee is moving at such a rapid pace that I am very concerned that the Senate's role as a check on the Executive Branch is being reduced to that of a rubber-stamp, no matter the concerns or issues raised about these nominees for powerful positions that affect the lives of millions of Americans.
The hearing today includes two nominees, for two very different positions, one in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the other in the Department of Justice. Both of these important positions would warrant separate hearings if the Committee were truly interested in allowing Members an opportunity to fully explore the weighty responsibilities these nominees are being selected to exercise in these two Departments.
If confirmed, both nominees will be in a position to make initial interpretations of the legal rights of all Americans as well as immigrants, such as whether this Administration will allow individuals to have public hearings or whether their fate will be decided by secretive tribunals behind closed doors.
Today marks the second confirmation hearing this committee has held for a DHS position. I do want to thank Chairman Hatch, Senator Kennedy and Senator Chambliss for working together and with me to seek and obtain unanimous consent that the nomination of Michael Garcia to lead the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE) be referred to the Judiciary Committee after consideration by the Government Affairs committee.
Immigration policy remains the responsibility of this committee, and oversight over the way the new powers of this new department are being used is very important.
Like me, Mr. Garcia is a former prosecutor.
As an Assistant United States Attorney, he prosecuted cases involving terrorism, immigration and document fraud, and was involved in several high-profile cases, including the trial of four defendants following the first World Trade Center Bombing in 1993, the trial of Ramzi Yousef, and the prosecution of four defendants following the 1998 bombings of U.S. Embassies in East Africa.
Shortly before 9-11, Mr. Garcia was appointed Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement with the Department of Commerce and served there until December 2002, when he was appointed Acting Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). He has served as the acting Assistant Secretary of BICE since March 2003.
The Assistant Secretary of BICE is responsible for the enforcement of immigration and customs laws within the United States, as well as the protection of certain Federal buildings and air and marine interdiction. These are weighty responsibilities.
If confirmed, Mr. Garcia will also be responsible for a number of Vermonters who worked for the INS and for Customs before the transition to DHS. I have asked Undersecretary Asa Hutchinson and Eduardo Aguirre, the head of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services ("BCIS"), about their restructuring plans and the impact of those plans on Vermont employees.
They each have assured me that reorganization will make use of those workers and that Vermont will not suffer job losses as a result. Mr. Garcia, you will find that the Vermonters you inherited from the legacy INS offices in Vermont, including the Eastern Regional and Administrative Centers, are some of the hardest working and most dedicated people in the country. I am confident that they will exceed your expectations.
I ask that you make sure they know what you expect of them, and that you keep them in the loop as you adopt reorganization plans.
In particular, I recently sent a detailed letter about the legacy of INS Detention and Removal (D&R) personnel who are based at the former INS Eastern Regional office.
I appreciate the quick follow-up by DHS staff on the issues raised in that letter but I do look forward to a more thorough reply from you. I also know you are well aware that Vermont is home to the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC). This database is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to provide information about criminal aliens to local, state and federal law enforcement officials. The center has become a national resource for federal and local law enforcement.
I look forward to working with you on integrating the LESC into the mission of the Homeland Security Department.
When Congress passed the Homeland Security Act, many of us made clear that as we divide immigration services and immigration enforcement, we need to ensure open and clear communication between the two due to the overlap between the agencies' responsibilities.
For example, both BICE and BCIS will play a significant role in the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which tracks foreign students in the United States. Although BICE will be primarily responsible for the program, BCIS will still adjudicate petitions from foreign students.
In addition to the need to work together on day-to-day concerns, it is important for both BICE and BCIS to be strong, and not have either enforcement or services become a DHS priority at the expense of the other. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about how services and enforcement can work together and that balance can be retained.
I understand from your staff that you have an ambitious plan to reduce the "absconder rate" of aliens who have been ordered removed from the country to zero within six years. Of course, a major reason that the absconder rate is currently so high is that we simply do not have room to house these aliens while they await removal. Solving that problem will take a tremendous dedication of resources, and I hope to hear today how you think those resources can be provided.
In addition, because one of your responsibilities will be the detention and removal of unlawful aliens, I would be remiss not to mention the recent OIG report on the treatment of September 11 detainees. This report addresses the treatment many permanent residents and other aliens received in detention and the long delays in removing aliens who had final removal orders. I hope that the report is instructive for you, and that its recommendations will guide your actions in this area.
Finally, there is one other area of concern that has been brought to my attention which I hope you will address today. During your hearing before the Governmental Affairs Committee, you were asked about the role of BICE in the search for an airplane of a Texas legislator in May, while you were serving as Acting Assistant Secretary.
I and many Americans were troubled by the use of the resources and technology of the Department of Homeland Security for partisan political purposes, to track down Democratic state legislators who had left the state in protest of Republican plans to change the rules and boundaries for electing Members of Congress.
I must say that I am concerned about the discrepancy between the reasons you gave for refusing to answer questions asked of you by the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee and the response provided to the Committee by the Inspector General's office. I hope you can clarify this issue and discuss any steps you have taken to prevent your bureau's resources and power from being misused ever again to aid a partisan scheme. I look forward to your testimony.
I also would like to comment on some of the concerns raised by the record of the President's nominee to be the Assistant Attorney General, Jack Goldsmith III. Mr. Goldsmith is a law professor at the University of Virginia who clerked for Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and for Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court.
In his writings on matters of international law and human rights, Professor Goldsmith has often taken a narrow view of human rights law and our international obligations. For example, Professor Goldsmith has written and advocated in opposition to precedents relating to the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA).
This may sound like an obscure area of the law but it has been an important tool to allow victims of torture and abuse to file claims against foreign governments, multi-national corporations, and torturers. For example, the ACTA has been relied upon to bring federal suits against notorious violators of human rights like war criminal Radovan Karadzic and the former prime minister of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, as well as banks and companies that profited from Nazi war crimes.
In his opposition to the ATCA, he has echoed the views of Robert Bork that this important federal statute should be limited to only those offenses against the law of nations that were in effect at the time it was enacted in 1789, such as piracy on the high seas. Such a narrow reading of the plain language of this federal law is troubling both in the context of human rights law and because of what such an approach bodes for his view of other laws affecting the rights of people in the United States and abroad.
This is important because if confirmed to lead the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel his primary responsibility will be to provide interpretations of the scope of people's rights and the government's power in many areas of law.
Professor Goldsmith has also taken a very narrow view of human rights law generally.
He has been a vocal supporter of the President's authority to try suspected terrorists by military tribunal, despite the concerns raised by many Americans about these practices and the inconsistent decisions of the Administration in bringing some cases in federal court while referring other similar cases to military tribunals, along with the Administration's decision to ignore the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war.
Goldsmith has also been a vocal opponent of the International Criminal Court.
These are just a few of the concerns raised by Professor Goldsmith's writings. Members of the Senate have expressed other concerns about the veil of secrecy that has been drawn by Attorney General Ashcroft over the operations of the Office of Legal Counsel.
I have sent a letter to the Attorney General regarding this practice and I hope Professor Goldsmith will shed some light on it today. The Office of Legal Counsel and the Department of Justice, along with the Department of Homeland Security, face many challenges in the defense of our nation in these troubled times, but no one should forget that the defense of our nation includes the defense of the civil rights and civil liberties guaranteed to all Americans by our Constitution.
I hope that Mr. Garcia and Professor Goldsmith will be able to provide the Committee with some assurances about their commitment to following the requirements of our Constitution and interpreting the law fairly.

Used to be able to compile emails into a single pdf document... I have updated my Adobe Acrobat, but that action isn't available in Outlook anymore (used to simply select the emails, right click and would be prompted to create as PDF)... am I missing something, or is this something in a pending update (if so, when?)
I suspect your Acrobat is not compatible with OFFICE 2013 for the use of PDF Maker. In fact, I do not know if any Acrobat is certified yet. In any case, you have not mentioned your version of AA and that is likely the problem. Your only choice is likely to print the e-mails to the Adobe PDF printer. Whether that can be done with Outlook 2013 is something you will have to check.

Marriage is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship. It is an institution in which interpersonal relationships, usually intimate and sexual, are acknowledged in a variety of ways, depending on the culture or subculture in which it is found. Such a union, often formalized via a wedding ceremony, may also be called matrimony.

I am experimenting with a public SOAP API in preparation for testing an internal SOAP API that we are working on at work. I am running into problems dealing with automatically associating method names with parameter names.
More specifically I am testing against http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?WSDL and what I am trying to do is write a function I can use in Behat so that our QA people can easily create new scenarios specifying new functions (as they are created) without me writing a new function every time.
To do this I built a function wrapper for SoapClient::__soapCall(). I have been able to get calls to specific functions to work such as this:
public function iGetAQuoteFor($symbol) {
$response = $this->client->GetQuote(array('symbol' => $symbol));
$quote = simplexml_load_string($response->GetQuoteResult)->Stock;
echo "Quote:\n" . print_r($quote, true) . "\n";
So obviously I need to identify the parameter I am sending to the SOAP service for it to be effective. But to do that I need to be able to map the function name to the option names. I have tried processing the WSDL with SimpleXML, but I am having a difficult time navigating the results of that. I have tried a bunch of different methods and made some headway when I used the SimpleXML function 'children' and specified the 'wsdl' namespace. But what I get below that isn't any better.
Here is my soap call function (written as a Behat context):
* Calls a specific SOAP function (defined in the WSDL).
* @param string $functionName
* @param string $options (optional, no implemented yet)
* @Given /^I make a SOAP call to "([^"]*)" with "([^"]*)"$/
* @Given /^I make a SOAP call to "([^"]*)"$/
public function iMakeASOAPCallTo($functionName, $passedOptions = NULL) {
//Deal with the options
$options = array($passedOptions);
if (stristr($passedOptions, ',')) {
$options = explode(',', $passedOptions);
else if (empty($passedOptions)) {
$options = array();
//Also should try to figure out how to match the function call to the option wrapper
#Function placeholder
//Attempt to make the call
try {
$result = $this->client->__soapCall($functionName, $options);
catch (\Exception $e) {
throw new Exception("Failed to call SOAP function.");
//Process the result
if (!empty($result)) {
$result = $this->decodeSOAPResult($functionName, $result);
if (!empty($result)) {
echo " It returns:\n" . print_r($result, true) . "\n";
else {
throw new Exception("Invalid result from function call.");
else {
throw new Exception("Failed result or exception from function call.");
And this is my function that attempts to get the schema details after establishing the connection to the soap service.
private function buildSchemaDetails() {
$xml = simplexml_load_file($this->soapURL);
echo "\n" . print_r($xml, true) . "\n";
echo "For the ns:\n";
$element = $xml->getDocNamespaces();
echo "\n" . print_r($element, true) . "\n";
$element = $xml->children('wsdl', true)->types->children();
echo "\n" . print_r($element, true) . "\n";
As you can see I have some testing code in there. It is ugly right now, but I need to figure out how to process this. If anyone knows of a tool that does all of this for me ahead of time that would be awesome.
Essentially what I want to be able to do is identify the parameters to a function before I make any attempts to call it. If the function has only one parameter then I would like to just map the variable entered to the one parameter name based on the function I am calling and then call it.
This is useful within Behat when writing features and scenarios because then it allows me to write a Gherkin-style line such as 'Then I make a SOAP call to "GetQuote" with "GOOG"' and not having to worry about specifying the name of the parameter. In the case of this WSDL I found it to be a bit ridiculous that couldn't just pass in the one variable and be done with it. I have seen anther SOAP service where I didn't have to specify the parameter name.
So being able to understand the call structure is key to simplifying all of this.

Wireless zero configuration and VOIP
I have a wireless conection and I have a VOIP phone. Unless I turn off WZC my calls will only last between 1 and 2 minutes. However if I do turn off WZC then I can make calls a lot longer. However, after about 10 minutes my wireless connection appears to be active but getting to the internet no longer works. I then start WZC and it works great. When I need to make a phone I must stop it. Please help with advice as to how I can get through this without constantly starting and stopping the WZC. Howard |

American Grad Student Attacked by Chimpanzees in South Africa
Published July 2nd, 2012
SOUTH AFRICA- A Texas University graduate student, is now off the critical list in a South Africa hospital after being attacked by two chimpanzees.
26 year-old Andrew Oberle was savagely attacked by chimpanzees last Thursday when he entered a restricted zone between two security fences outside the chimp enclosure.
Two adult male chimpanzees apparently became angry, grabbing Oberle by the legs and dragging him half way under the barrier, as he fought to stop them.
Tourists looked on in horror as the chimps dragged Oberle one hundred feet into a public space and mauled him.
Neither of the chimps involved in the mauling will be euthanised, though they have been put into isolation .

Mt Shasta -
hown in the
image to the right
is the Avalanche
Gulch Route up
Mt Shasta. The
starts at Bunny
Flat (6,950 ft) and
then proceeds up
the mountain to
the Summit
(14,179 Ft) for a
total elevation gain
of over 7,200 feet.
Most climbs up Mt Shasta use the Avalanche Gulch Route as seen above. During the summer months, there is a maintained trail
that leads from the parking lot at Bunny Flat to Horse Camp 1 3/4 miles away. During early season, you can make a direct path
over the snow to this first landmark. Best to get an early start, because on warm clear days the snow will get soft and sinking up to
your calves, or worse, will really add to the work of your approach. Lake Helen (marked near the center of the above image) is
the first day goal of most people climbing the mountain. Of course you do not have to stop at Lake Helen if you are in excellent
condition and have begun your climb early enough (around 2AM or so). People opting for this plan can and do make the return
trip to the summit and back in one day. But breaking the climb up into a day or more, is a good way to enjoy the beauty of the
mountain during different lighting conditions.
And it is especially nice to be able to take a
break and rest before pushing on to the
In the photo to the right you see climbers
making their approach through the lower
forest elevations, making use of natural
pathways in the snow. I have to say, that I
prefer early season to later on when it comes
to travel on Mt Shasta. We had warm
conditions in mid May 2009, and we did do
our fair share of sinking in the snow, but all
in all, early season snow travel is preferable
to dusty trails later on.
Another plus to climbing Mt Shasta, is that
the approach is fairly short. Only about 3 1/2
miles to Lake Helen.
As you progress through the forest section of
Mount Shasta, you will come across scenes
like this (to the left). They are a reminder of
the harsh weather that the mountain is able to
deliver. Bent over trees are a sign of heavy
snows and stiff winds.
Mt. Shasta's
is variable. The
exposure to storms from the Pacific can result
in high winds and heavy snow accumulations.
Major storms can certainly occur at any time
of the year and Mt Shasta's solitary position
intensifies any existing weather conditions.
The word " Shasta" itself may have been
derived from the Russian word "tshastal"
meaning pure or white, and there is certainly
a lot of pure and white on the mountain.
Horse Camp Lodge (7,900 feet) is the first
notable landmark that you come to on your
approach when climbing Mt Shasta. From
the Sand Flat or Bunny Flat Trailheads, there
is a 1 3/4 mile trail (when snow conditions
permit) to the structure seen on you right.
The Sierra Club Foundation owns this little
historic Lodge at Horse Camp. It was built in
1923 and dedicated on July 4 of that same
year. Shasta Alpine Lodge (Horse Camp) is a
climbers' hut located on a 720-acre parcel
within the Mount Shasta Wilderness area. It
is also part of the Shasta-Trinity National
Forest. It is constructed primarily of
indigenous materials including volcanic rock
and Shasta red fir.
Visitors are asked to respect this private
property and to respect wildlife by not
bringing pets. During the late May through
The above little Alpine Hut is the destination for many
hikers during the summer months, and is a good stop off
point to those either coming or going from higher
elevations on the mountain.
There is also a little running spring (shown to the left
buried beneath the snow) at Horse Camp, and it ensures a
reliable source of fresh water. There are plenty of cleared
campsites available after the snow melts out, and a fire
ring in front of the hut that offers climbers and campers a
place to socialize during cool summer evenings. The
Phoenix solar-powered, composting toilet, which is also
located on the grounds, converts human waste into a
non-toxic end product, making it easier to practice low
impact camping. The stone structure itself houses a guest
register, a small library of mountain books, and displays
other pertinent information about Mount Shasta, including
a lost and found board for climbers.
Shown to the right is a photo of the inside
of Horse Camp's alpine hut. As noted
above, you see a little library of mountain
books, and several bulletin messages. In a
severe storm, this little building could prove
to be a lifesaver for those ill prepared.
Guests are welcome, but the Sierra Club
asks that you respect all the belongings of
the property, and leave the place the same
or better off then when you found it.
The Horse Camp hut and its surroundings
are a great place to meet and visit with
people. And in the final analysis, it is the
relationships that you build with people that
will count in the long run, far above any
summit goal you may attain.
About an hour and a half from Lake Helen, we
stopped to take a little lunch break. If takes lots of
energy to climb mountains, and physical
performance greatly suffers when you run out of
fuel. For more on this subject, check out our
article on
"Eating in the
Also note how Ben (in the photo to the right) is
making use of his Z-pad for insulation from the
snow. Once past Timberline (in the early months),
there is very little if anything at all to sit on. Sitting
in the snow can quickly soak pants bottoms and
put a chill into your bones. This bit of advice also
goes for camping out on the mountain. A barrier
between you and the ground is vital for any resting
or sleeping situation.
Well, that's about it for the initial approach information on
Mt Shasta. This is certainly not by any means the only
way to approach a climb on Mt Shasta, and there are
many other paths up Shasta, including technical glacier
routes on the north side of the mountain.
The Avalanche Gulch Approach is the most popular and
most widely traveled, and it is the route we have chosen
here. But if you are a frequent visitor to Mt Shasta and
you have already climbed this route, you may want to
explore other possibilities. There are many good books
available that will provide invaluable information on other
options for climbing Mt Shasta.
Shortly after leaving Horse Camp, you
break out of the forest and enter a land of
snow and ice (winter through early summer)
or barren rock. You are now above tree line
and there is little protection from the
elements. Things like UV sun protection,
wind, and other challenges come into their
own here. So hopefully you are prepared.
It is also more likely that you will sink into
the snow during the warmer parts of the
day, so cross country skis or snowshoes
may be a good option. We noticed a big
difference in staying on top of the terrain
when traveling through the forest (where the
provided shade from the trees kept things a
bit cooler) then when traveling on snow
sections out in the open.

From Lake Helen to
the top of Red Banks
is the most difficult
part of the climb. This
section is usually
done during the
pre-dawn hours of the
morning. "The Heart"
area is the steepest
part of the entire
route. There you
encounter slopes that
reach angles of up to
35 degrees.
Up until August (in
an average year),
crampons and ice axe
are essential for this
section. After that, the
slopes turn into a
miserable scree climb.

What's Hot
It's the last real manufacturing sector in the U.S.
The United States manufacturers helped carry the country in World War II, it helped rebuild Europe and Japan after the war, and it also helped the U.S. survive the Cold War with Russia.However, manufacturing in the United States has dwindled to the point where people ask the question: What does America manufacture besides debt? The answer is going to be virtually nothing if the American auto industry shuts down, which is a big concern and one of the reasons to save the American auto industry.
The manufacturing industry is important to any country because it creates jobs, independence and boosts the internal economy. Right now, the United States has started to rely on outsourcing a little too much, and we would much rather keep the property here. Just as in the past, manufacturing jobs create employment for generations of working-class people, and we want to keep that industry so that our kids will have a place to work too.

Situated at 2100m and with a ski area up to 3398m there are over 90km of runs suitable for beginners and intermediates. There are 4 black runs, but the majority are red and blue.
During the day there is a chairlift which runs up and down the resort (Parador ) and there is also a free navette which runs until approx 21h00. This leaves from the main square in front of the Hotel Melia.
The ski shop we recommend is Luis Sanchez sports which is at the bottom of the Parador lift. They are extremely friendly and you can leave your skis and boots there at the end of the day so you can go back to your hotel in your own shoes (usually after a relaxing drink in the main square).
There are lots of different ski schools to choose from – Escuela Internacionale de ski are located near the Al Andaluz gondola lift. Lessons can be booked for either Saturday and Sundays or Monday to Friday. Lesson times are 10 – 13h00, but the meeting point is up the mountain at the area known as Borreguiles so make sure you leave time to get there. Both the gondola lifts (Al Andalus and Borreguiles) go to pretty much the same place so you can get either (but the Borreguiles has seats whereas you have to stand in the al Andalus!) They each take about 12 minutes to get to the top and once you come out of the gondola you go up the escalators and out onto the snow. The ski school classes meet over by the beginners are which you will see to your right by the magic carpet lifts.

Red Rovers
Red Rovers
Red Rovers rally cools Liberty early
By Stephen Miller and OF THE MORNING CALL
April 7, 2010
Dan Eckel's turn in Easton's batting order came up in just two innings Tuesday. The Red Rovers' lineup stayed at the plate so long in those frames he received two at-bats in each of them. With a double, a single, two walks and three RBIs, Eckel helped Easton overcome an early four-run deficit against Liberty. His bases-loaded walk in the fourth inning capped a six-run rally that allowed the Red Rovers to pull away for a 14-7 win in an early-season meeting of Lehigh Valley Conference East Division baseball contenders.
For first time in 23 years, Liberty defeats Easton in dual wrestling meet
By Michael Blouse, Special to The Morning Call
January 8, 2014
For the first time in 23 years, Liberty defeated Easton in a dual wrestling meet. The Hurricanes prevailed 35-27 Wednesday night in a thriller at Memorial Gymnasium - they won the evening's final three bouts, all by bonus points - to improve their overall record to 8-1 and their Lehigh Valley Conference mark to 4-0. The victory over the Red Rovers was the first for coach Jody Karam in his 21 seasons at Liberty. Liberty's last triumph in the series came in 1991, 38-19, under longtime former coach Frank Gutierrez.
Surprise: Red Rovers are at the top
By John Heilig, Special to The Morning Call
April 14, 2012
One of the big surprises of the 2012 boys volleyball season has been the excellent play of Easton. Parkland has also shown surprising success from a young team, but the Red Rovers' ascendancy to the top ranks of the Lehigh Valley Conference has been stimulating. Not known as one of the volleyball powerhouses of the LVC, Easton has a 5-2 conference record so far this year and is 6-2 overall, with a win in the Wyoming Valley West tournament earlier in the season. According to coach Matt Velekei, the Rovers are finally realizing that he knows something about the game and are believing in the system.
Casciole looks to lead Easton football team bounce-back against Phillipsburg
By Stephen Miller, Of The Morning Call
November 27, 2013
Senior running back Kyle Bambary no longer plays defense for the Easton football team. Sticking to one side of the ball gives him the chance to admire the work of one of his classmates, senior linebacker Cameron Casciole, when the Red Rovers' offense is on the sidelines. "He's a heck of a player," Bambary said during a recent break from practice. "He's the heart and soul of the defense. He can throw a lot of people around. No matter what, he gets right back up and continuously plays hard week in and week out. " As one of Easton's defensive leaders, Casciole's task this week has been to help all of the Red Rovers lift themselves up and prepare for one final game this season.
K-Kids, Laubach turn tables on the Red Rovers
By Keith Groller, Of The Morning Call
May 22, 2012
The last time the Northampton softball team played Easton, the Konkrete Kids' Marly Laubach pitched brilliantly but lost on a pair of runs in the top of the seventh inning. When the two teams met again on Tuesday at Easton in the first round of the District 11 4A tournament, Laubach pitched just as well, but this time she finished the job and finished off the Red Rovers' season. Laubach, a junior righthander, fired a three-hit shutout with 13 strikeouts, and this time her Northampton team stirred in the top of the seventh inning for three runs and a 3-0 victory.
90-year-old Recalls Champ Red Rovers
by JACK LOGIC, The Morning Call
June 12, 1998
Easton Area High School has had a tradition of good baseball teams. Easton made it to the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association state semifinals in 1990, and won four East Penn Conference and three District 11 championships between 1958 and 1963. As far as I can tell, Easton had only one state championship baseball team -- the 1926 Red Rovers, which was also the year that the the first senior class graduated from Easton High School at 12th and Northampton streets. There is one fellow still around from that squad -- 90-year-old Stan Eschenbach, one of Coach Charles Richards' players who divided his time between pitching and patroling centerfield.
Easton's revenge gives it an LVC baseball title shot
By Stephen Miller and OF THE MORNING CALL
May 20, 2010
A loss to Liberty in the last week of the regular season cost Easton a chance at a division title. A revenge win by the Red Rovers gave them the opportunity to play for a bigger championship tonight. Seven stellar innings from Matt Mink led No. 3 seed Easton to a 4-1 win over No. 2 Liberty in the first Lehigh Valley Conference baseball semifinal Wednesday at Sammy Balliet Stadium. The Red Rovers (16-5 overall) will play in their first LVC title game since 2006 when they face No. 4 Emmaus.
Easton puts away Hazleton, preps for P'burg
By Andre D. Williams OF THE MORNING CALL
November 21, 2009
Top-seeded Easton battered and wore down No. 4 Hazleton en route to a 28-6 victory in the District 11-2-4 Class 4A subregional semifinals Friday night at Cottingham Stadium. Easton (11-1) is now faced with its annual improbable task: trying to win three games in eight days. The Red Rovers last pulled it off in 2004. They will eat their vitamins, drink fluids galore, rest as best they can, and ride on the emotional high that comes each year leading up to the Thanksgiving Day showdown against Phillipsburg.
Caldwell, Thomas delivering for Easton's defense
By Stephen Miller, OF THE MORNING CALL
December 2, 2010
With its linebacking corps and secondary nearly wiped out by graduation, Easton needed its returning starters along the line to play well from the start to give it a chance to rebuild a championship-level defense. Senior co-captains David Caldwell and Tyler Thomas have not disappointed, allowing the Red Rovers, for a second straight season, to be one of Pennsylvania's final eight Class 4A football teams. Elite again despite its bevy of new starters, Easton's defense heads into Saturday's PIAA Class 4A quarterfinal rematch against La Salle College High School (1 p.m., Northeast High School in Philadelphia)
Easton advances on six-minute scoring explosion
By Michael Blouse, Special To The Morning Call
November 11, 2011
To Easton senior Matthew Mowad, a six-minute portion of Friday night's second quarter seemed like the type of dream he never wanted to awaken from. To Freedom coach Jason Roeder, the same six-minute span had to feel like a nightmare. Easton turned five Freedom turnovers - all in the second period - into four touchdowns, and the red-hot Red Rovers parlayed those plays into a 35-28 victory over the Patriots in a Districts 2-4-11 Class 4A subregional quarterfinal game at Cottingham Stadium.
More than a game: Easton-P'burg tradition to be spotlighted on TV broadcast
Keith Groller
November 26, 2013
Mike Zambelli was fortunate to be a Dieruff football player at a time when the Huskies had a Thanksgiving Day game against Allen. The years were 1969, 1970 and 1971 and while Zambelli doesn't have a good memory of the first one — a 40-6 Canaries win — he fondly recalls the last two. In fact, he scored two touchdowns as a junior in the Huskies' 19-14 win in 1970 and set a school record with five TDs in Dieruff's 45-6 victory in 1971. So, Zambelli has an appreciation for what Thanksgiving Day football is all about, but on Thursday morning he'll get a new appreciation of Turkey Day's granddaddy of them all locally, the 107 t h Easton-Phillipsburg game at Lafayette's Fisher Stadium.
Frank Lane will be on the Parkland sidelines Friday night, but will always be a Red Rover at heart
Of The Morning Call
November 21, 2013
The NFL Network offers a popular series called "A Football Life," in which it takes a closer look at the game's great players, coaches and personalities. If there was ever a prime candidate for a Lehigh Valley version of "A Football Life," it would be Parkland assistant coach Frank Lane, who is one of the most colorful characters on a local sideline. He will be there Friday night in Orefield trying to help the Trojans beat Easton for the District 11 4A championship, yelling and screaming every play along the way. And then on Thursday morning at Lafayette's Fisher Stadium, he will take his place among the Red Rovers' all-time greats as one of the inductees in the Phillipsburg/Easton Hall of Fame.
Parkland football team seeks redemption against Easton
By Stephen Miller, Of The Morning Call
November 21, 2013
Josh Walmer isn't after revenge when Parkland faces Easton tonight. He considers it more of a chance at redemption. When the Trojans traveled to Cottingham Stadium for their first big game this season, Easton pummeled them 24-0 in Week 2. They have not lost since, ripping off 10 straight wins heading into Friday's District 11 Class 4A football final at Parkland School District Stadium. Improved play from the offensive line has helped third-seeded Parkland (11-1 overall) surge into another district final.
Kyle Bambary a versatile leader for Easton football team
By Stephen Miller, Of The Morning Call
November 20, 2013
The vocal leader of the Easton football team earned household bragging rights earlier this year. Kyle Bambary tries to use his status as the family rushing champion over his dad, Jack, and brother, Zack, to his advantage whenever possible. "When my dad tells me to do something, I bring it up quite a bit," Kyle Bambary said earlier this week as fifth-seeded Easton prepared for its District 11 4A final against No. 3 Parkland. "But you know, they're proud of me and I'm proud of them.
Expect some unsung heroes to emerge in battle between the Red Rovers and Cavs
By Keith Groller, Of The Morning Call
November 14, 2013
In a marquee matchup such as Friday night's Easton-East Stroudsburg South District 11 Class 4A semifinal, the focus at the outset will be on the football teams' star players. For Easton, that means backs Shane Simpson and Kyle Bambary, quarterback Brad Wilkins or possibly wide receiver Joey Ford. And for South, that means record-breaking running back Niko Petrone, who is coming off a 355-yard, six-touchdown performance against Scranton. But at the end of the night, don't be surprised if the outcome is decided by players who don't jump out immediately as stars.
Red Rovers ride Ford to a 44-24 win over Nazareth
By Keith Groller, Of The Morning Call
November 1, 2013
Easton missed its opportunity to get a share of the Lehigh Valley Conference football title, but the quest for a new crown begins next week for the Red Rovers. Thanks to three big touchdowns by Joey Ford, Easton rinsed out the bad taste from last week's bitter loss to Whitehall and pulled away from Nazareth for a 44-24 win Friday night at Andy Leh Stadium. While Parkland and Whitehall won their games and became LVC co-champs, the Red Rovers (8-2, 7-2 LVC) will turn their attention to the next phase of the season.
La Salle's flurry ousts Easton
By Andre D. Williams OF THE MORNING CALL
December 6, 2009
It was a Saturday mixed with snow, cold, and unfortunately for Easton, tear drops at the close of a PIAA Class 4A quarterfinal matchup at Bethlehem Area School District Stadium. With his helmet still on, Jashaad Gaddy stood, emotionally drained, following a sensational performance in which he scored on an 85-yard run and also intercepted a pass that led to another touchdown against La Salle College High School. But the big plays by Gaddy and an early 14-0 lead by Easton evaporated before halftime as La Salle settled down, capitalized on Red Rovers mistakes, then used its strength advantage to control both sides of the ball.
Retooled Easton defense dominating again in LVC football
Stephen Miller
October 28, 2010
While Easton's varsity football team clamped down on offenses week after week last season en route to the District 11 Class 4A title, its junior varsity team built a successful resume of its own by going undefeated. Many of those JV players have graduated to the Red Rovers varsity team this season. Their maturation has allowed Easton to retain its elite defensive status despite graduating seven defensive starters from last year's 13-2 squad. With two weeks left in the regular season, Easton again has the stingiest defense in the Lehigh Valley Conference.
Emmaus boys, Easton girls reach District 11 soccer finals
By Michael Blouse, Special to The Morning Call
October 30, 2013
Emmaus' Greg Lind said the heartbreak of last season's 1-0 loss to Stroudsburg in the District 11 Class 3A boys soccer final lingered for a full year. It lingers no longer. Lind and the Green Hornets earned their redemption Tuesday night in the district semifinals with a 3-0 victory over No. 1 seed Stroudsburg in the nightcap of a girls-boys playoff doubleheader at Nazareth High School's Andrew S. Leh Stadium. Emmaus moves on to meet rival Parkland, a 3-0 winner over Pleasant Valley in Tuesday night's other semifinal, for the district title.
Parkland blanks Easton to capture Lehigh Valley Conference boys soccer crown
By John Heilig, Special to The Morning Call
October 17, 2013
It's hard to believe that the final 79 minutes and 42 seconds of a soccer match can be almost anticlimactic, but that's what happened Thursday when Parkland and Easton battled for the Lehigh Valley Conference boys soccer championship at Whitehall. Just 18 seconds into the game, Parkland's Byron Derti took advantage of a bouncing ball in front of the Easton net and headed the ball over the head of the Red Rovers' goalkeeper, Ben Boothe. That was all the Trojans needed. "I just kept working hard for it and popped it over the keeper's head and it went in," Derti said.

Moving Comfort Sizing Chart
Moving Comfort Sportsbras - Use these guidelines to ensure a proper fit. You'll need to determine your band size and cup size.
1. Band size: When finding your size, first measure around your rib cage, just underneath your breasts. The tape should be tight, but not restrictive, and straight all around. Add five inches to your rib cage measurement, then round to the nearest even number and record it. This is your band size measurement (the numerical portion of 36C).
2. Cup size: Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it straight around your body. Record the number. Round this measurement up to the nearest whole number. This will determine your cup size.
Bra size: Subtract Band Size (1) from Cup Size (2). The result will determine your sports bra size. For example, if your band size is 34" and your bust measured 36", your bra size would be a 34B.
Many Moving Comfort sports bras come in extra-small to extra-large sizes rather than in numerical bra sizes. This chart designates which numerical bra sizes fall within each size category.
