First, if you are a newbie, you should keep in mind that your FAT+ is not a "Magic Box". If you were looking for a device that acted like your PC, then you got the wrong product. If what you wanted is a device that would let you play all your media, access your network media and watch and listen to internet media and have something that didn't cost you an arm & a leg to do it, then that's what you have.
Now, your FAT+ does not let you put your video's on your hard drive. If you are new to this, then you need to know that you have to have seperate software to do this. You will need to have something like DVDFAB or ANYDVD. (Personally I like DVDFAB, because even though you have to pay for it to have full functionality, you can use the Full Disc & Main Movie for free. Where as ANYDVD is only trialware and it will stop functioning after the trial period has ended).
UPDATE: If you use or are going to get DVDFAB, download the lastest beta version, HERE. You can also get the new DVDFAB Passkey, which is free during the beta testing stage.
You will also want DVD SHRINK, which will compress your videos to a smaller size and HANDBRAKE, which will compress your videos to mp4 & mkv containers (and will make your video's about half the size or smaller of the original file, yet keep most of the quality).
On a personal note: I prefer converting my movies to mkv, due to the ablity to have DTS on my movies that have it and that mkv is the only (that I know of) container that the FAT+ will allow you to jump chapters. Just make sure you have the right codecs for your PC so that you watch them on your computer, DivX codecs will allow you to watch mkv video on WMP. You will also want to get AC3 Filter so that your WMP will play AC3 audio.
You should also vist VIDEO HELP, for a lot more information.
FIrst, you should know that the only way to get your movies to show up as the cover art is to have your drive directly connected to your FAT+. Your movies will not show up as your cover art over the network. Now, with that said, the quickest and easiest way to get all your cover art is to download MY MOVIES COLLECTION MANAGEMENTwhich is freeware. Once you have that, then follow these instructions:
Ok, First, for "My Movies" to add the data automatically, (when I say automatically, what I mean is it will gather the cover art & metadata and apply it to your movie, you still need to do a little work for the FAT+ to see your cover art) you need to have your movie files in a seperate folder, with the folder name being the name of the movie.
NOTE: This works if your movie files are in DVD format, ISO, mkv & mp4 (I don't know if it works for avi's, wmv or any other format) (For mkv & mp4's I recomend naming the movie file the same as your movie & placing it in a folder of the same name) (For DVD format, there is no need in renaming the video file names, just make the folder the same name as your movie).
Now, if you have that, open My Movies Collection Manager, the go to "File", click on "Import", click on "Folder Content". A "Browse for Folder" widow should open up, click on the Drive &/or the Folder (select the main Folder, it will import all the data for all the movies in that folder) where your movies are stored then click "Ok".
Once it gets through collecting the cover art & metadata, go to the left side of "My Movies", where there should be a list of your movies. Click on each one to make sure that it has the correct cover art for your movie. If it doesn't, right click on the the movie (in the list on the left), then click "Change Title Source and Data", and a window should pop up. Select the "By Title" tab and in the "Movie Title" box type the title of your movie and click "Search. A list of movies will show up at the bottom, select the one you want to change your cover art to and then click "Change".
Now, for your FAT+ to see the cover art, for your movie you well need to go to the folder were you have your movie and open it. You should see a file named "folder" which will be the front cover art for your movie. DO NOT DELETE OR RENAME THIS FILE, you will want it if you use it on "Windows Media Center". Copy the file named "folder" and then paste it in the same folder. It should say something like "folder-copy" (if your on Windows 7), now rename it the same name of your movie (the same name of your containing folder). That's it, you should have all your movie cover art.
Oh, and you will want to delete the folder ".Theater" before you go and plug your hard drive back into your FAT+. Don't worry though, your FAT+ will rebuild this folder. If you don't delete it though, you may not see all your cover art. You need to do this everytime you add new movies.
Also, if you have a box set, like Matrix, Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions. To make your FAT+ keep them in the right order, you should name them with 1, 2, 3, etc., ie: name your movies, Matrix 1, Matrix 2 - Reloaded and Matrix 3 - Revolutions. If you don't your movies may not stay in the right order.
So, you have Windows 7, but you can't get your FAT+ to log on to the network. Well here's some instructions to help you get around that:
Then select in the settings:
Turn on network discovery
Turn on file & printer sharing
Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read & write files in the Public folders
on Media Streaming (I'll come back to that)
Enable file sharing for devices that use 40 -or 56-bit encryption
Turn off password protected sharing
Now make sure you have the same setting for both Home or Work & Public profiles
For the Media Streaming, select "Chose media streaming options...", the on the "Show devices on:" dropdown box select "All networks". You should then see something that says "Unknown Device", make sure that it has "Allow" beside it.
IF that doesn't work, try this:
1. On the right side Double Click on everyoneincludesanonymous and in the window that pops up, change the value data from a 0 value to a 1
2. Double Click on NoLmHash and in the window that pops up, change the Value Data from a 1 value to a 0
3. Now navigate to the following location in the registry editor
Double Click on restrictnullsessaccess and change the 1 value to a 0
Reboot your pc and you should now be able to connect to your pc from you Freeagent Theater+
This works for me, I also have my drives shared with full access on my LAN
You will still see the Login screen just click OK and you should have access to your drives.

This should also work with Vista.
Here a link for WINDOWS XP network problems. (Give a few Kudos to bodhi78 for this one)
If your having problems updating your firmware, weather your installing PLAYDUDES modified 1.26 firmware, the 1.27 FIRMWARE or the new 1.45 FIRMWARE, I have only 2 words for you COLD METHOD. This will solve most of your updating problems. Also, I would suggest that you use a blank USB stick and make sure that you only extract the "install.img" file to your USB stick. DO NOT just copy the .zip file to your USB stick, you will not be able to update your firmware.
UPDATE (3-21-10): The APAC version of the 1.45 fw is just an empty zip file. The moderator (AlanM) has been notified, but it is unknown when this will be fixed.

One more thing.
If you want to watch you favorite TV shows and have all those streaming movies, you'll want to get PLAYON from Media Mall. This will let you watch Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, Amazon VOD, and many others on your FAT+.
This is trialware and you can use it for 14 days for free, although with my experience after the 14 days they'll send you an e-mail giving you another 14 days (you just have to reinstall it). I don't know what happens after that (I haven't gotten past my second 14 days). If you want to buy PlayON, it is $39.99, but they will offer it to you (at least from my experience) for $29.99 after the 1st 14 day trial period is up.
This is a good program, it runs in the background and uses very little resources. Best of all, you don't have to do anything to your FAT+ or PC to play the streaming media on your FAT+. All you have to do is install it on your computer, make sure PlayOn is running in the background, then go to your FAT+, select Devices/Media Servers/PlayOn and away you go.
Don't you wish that your FAT+ would list your movies by Genre?
When you name your movie's, use a suffix.
(I haven't done this with all my movies yet, but for the one's I have it works pretty good. If it doesn't for you let me know.)
Example: "Shrek" will now be "AI - Shrek". See what I mean?
Example 2: "Star Wars" will now be "SI - Star Wars".
Here's just a short list of suffixes to use:
AI - for animation (this should put these at the top for the kids), also AF - for all family (I know it could be FA - for family, but it wouldn't keep it at the top)
AT - for action
CM - for comedy
DR - for drama
SI - for sci-fi
SC - for scary
MA - for mature
and so own. I know that this might be a pain, but until Seagate gets the FAT+ to read the metadata and put it in the genre it belongs you have to do work arounds.
JUST REMEMBER to name everthing that needs to be (ie: movie, cover art, folder) is all the same name.
Does PlayOn require the new 1.45 firmware? I have PlayDudes 1.26 and am loving being able to copy to my Fat+'s drive over my network. I don't want to lose that feature so I'm reluctant to update, but I want to check out Hulu etc.
03-21-2010 06:12 PM - edited 03-21-2010 06:26 PM
No, PlayOn should work with any FW version. Worked on my FAT+ with playdudes mod FW before I upgraded to the new 1.45.
PlayOn is just a UPnP media server, it just allows your FAT+ to access HULU......, through your computer.
Tinwable, are there any big differences between 1.27 and 1.45? Looks like 1.45 hasn't been officially announced yet since the Seagate website says the latest version is 1.27.
03-21-2010 08:11 PM - edited 03-22-2010 01:15 AM
Yeah, it's got a new user interface (Has the same Movies, Music, etc., on home page, but also shows Internet Apps, Network, Devices and Media Servers on the home page), looks just like the pic HERE. It is also supposed to have better UPnP/DLNA compliance and you can see more movie thumbnails per page. I haven't had it long enough to see what other things may be different, but so far it's all working good.
You can see the Release Notes to see the rest of the changes.
And I know that it still says 1.27 on the US download page (but you can get it by my link above), but it is 1.45 on the EMEA & APAC page. Although the APAC zip is empty. A just think that someone is falling down on their job. Also, the only way to install it successfully is by the Cold Method, I haven't heard of anyone having a successful install using the "Automatic Update" through the FAT+.
Also, something else I just noticed. Now when you plug in the drive, instead of just having a circle go around and around, now it has an animated magnifing glass and it says "Indexing Content".
Cool. I'll give 1.27 a miss then. Instead I'll start working on the 1.45 mod.
WooHoo! Thanks PlayDude, much appreciated and looking forward to it....
I have all of my media on a NAS device, and want the FAT+ to display the cover art. I opened a case with Seagate tech support about it not showing up, and they told me that it just takes a long time to generate the files on a NAS device, so to leave it logged in for a long time and eventually they would show up. This seems to contradict what you said...are you sure it doesn't work unless the drive is USB-attached? I can't check right now, because my unit is going back for repair at the moment, as it stopped responding to the remote control.
Well, either it doesn't or it takes a really loooooooong time for it to generate. Someone else may want to chime in here if they've had a different experience, but I have had mine logged in for quite a while and I have never had my media on my network show up as the cover art for the thumbnails.

Losing Olympic Wrestling Hurts Iowa CityBy Mike Hlas, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Last April, the four sessions of the U.S. Olympic Wrestling Trials in Iowa City's Carver-Hawkeye Arena had a total of 54,766 fans.
That easily eclipsed any previous attendance for the Trials at any other site. So did the atmosphere and presentation. People came from all over the country, and you didn't hear a soul say anything negative about the event. In fact, you did hear a lot of non-Iowans say they would be fine coming back to the same site for the same event in 2016. Next year, Iowa City-Coralville will be begin putting together its bid for the event. But even if it gets it, it could be two-and-done. Because Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee announced it was dropping wrestling from the 2020 Summer Olympics, although it will vie with seven other sports not currently in the Olympics to be the one selected in September for inclusion in 2020. Which is a long shot, no matter how much wrestling people vow to fight to plead their case. Josh Schamberger, the president of the Iowa City/Coralville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, said Tuesday that the vision was for Iowa City-Coralville to host more than one, or two Olympic Trials. "We did everything we could for 2012 to create an event to build the template and have people never think of holding it at another site," Schamberger said. "We want it here every four years." It never occurred to Schamberger, or most others with any sort of wrestling connection, that the IOC would drop the sport. Luke Eustice, an NCAA runner-up for the University of Iowa's wrestling team in 2002, is an advisor (read that to mean jack-of-all-trades) for the Hawkeye Wrestling Club, which exists to train and financially help wrestlers pursue careers in international wrestling. He groped to find the meaning in what the IOC announced. "For me, it's not really final yet," Eustice said. "There's still another opportunity to let one more sport back in. Until it's final, it's hard for me to talk about it, if that makes sense. We're still going for 2016. We'll always have a Hawkeye Wrestling Club and I think we'll always have wrestling. The biggest thing I worry about is some colleges might say 'Why do we have wrestling if it's not an Olympic sport.' It's frustrating now, very frustrating. It's scary for everyone involved.

Chaos reigns in Washington, D.C. The national economy is struggling and in many ways our federal government seems more dysfunctional by the day. Large multinational corporations control more of our food supply than ever before while the price of fuel and food transport is soaring. It seems there has never been a more important time to step up as individuals and support our local economy. Rather than bickering about a national debate over which we have no real control, let's make a difference with something we can control: becoming a part of the "local food web."
We are taught in school about the food web as "the description of feeding relationships among species in an ecological community." But what if we apply the food web concept to our local community? Several prominent peninsula farmers and food producers are working creatively and collaboratively to do just that. They are effectively creating a local food web which both strengthens their own efforts and, as it grows, improves accessibility to local food for everyone.
Examples of the local food web are exciting! The Whiskey Hill Goat Dairy in Port Townsend produces raw goat's milk, cheese and goat's milk soap. While most of farmer Diana Dyer's cheeses consist of goat's milk produced from her own flock, Dyer also contracts with the Dungeness Valley Creamery in Sequim for enough cow's milk to produce several additional cheeses. This diversification is important to the success of both farms: Whiskey Hill has more products with a broader appeal and the Dungeness Valley Creamery has a steady and dependable wholesale account.
Nash's Organic Produce collaborates both with other local producers and with important local institutions to improve accessibility and strengthen the local food web.
For example, Midori Farm in Port Townsend contracts with Nash's to grow hundreds of pounds of cabbage each season for its organic krauts and kimchi. For Nash's, this is a steady and dependable wholesale account which should grow over time; a small but vital "piece of the puzzle" for the business.
For Midori Farm, this relationship ensures a solid and reliable supply of quality product that will allow increased production and improved efficiencies. Both local producers strengthen their financial positions and their businesses by working together.
On the institutional level, Nash's works with peninsula hospitals and schools to make local food more accessible. Nash's runs a weekly market at, and delivers farm-share boxes to, Olympic Medical Center and is developing a similar new relationship with Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton. Efforts with local school districts also have begun to pay off, as Nash's beets and carrots now appear on school lunch plates in both Clallam and Jefferson counties.
Relationships in the local food web are as varied as the types of food we eat. Grapes and berries grown at Graysmarsh Farm in Sequim are used to make wines at Port Angeles' Harbinger Winery. The Mount Townsend Creamery in Port Townsend makes all its cheeses from milk produced at Maple View Dairy Farm in Sequim. Grain grown in Dungeness by Nash's is milled locally at the Bell Street Bakery in Sequim and used in a selection of the bakery's breads.
It would seem that this local food web is thriving and to some extent it is. These relationships among local producers are about more than just better business; they also facilitate the flow of ideas and creativity.
The camaraderie and mutual enthusiasm that grows as a result of these collaborations is as vital to the producers as their finished products.
The web isn't complete, though, without the end consumer. The North Olympic Peninsula is home to about 100,000 people; just imagine what a difference each person could make in his or her community by purchasing one locally produced food item every week. Consider forgoing one latte each week and spending the extra $3 on locally raised, pastured meat instead of factory farmed, grain-fed meat. That same skipped latte the following week would be more than enough to get you a beautiful head of fresh, crisp lettuce planted and harvested by a trustworthy local farmer. Just like that, you're part of the economic solution and an integral part of the local food web. A toast to your success: Eat well and be well!

< Return To Hearing
Mr. Steven EdsonOctober 9, 2002 Madame Chair and distinguished members of the Committee, thank you for allowing me to speak this morning concerning the progress to date of the Department of State's efforts to implement the provisions of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002. In implementing the immigration laws of the United States and managing the visa process, the Department of State has no higher priority than our national security. We participate with the border security agencies and the broader law enforcement and intelligence communities in a wide range of activities including but not limited to the visa process to ensure the greatest possible cooperation in our joint efforts to secure our borders and fight terrorism. Although these relationships are long-standing, they have been significantly expanded in the year since the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001. We are dedicated to meeting the opportunities provided by the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act, both to build on our efforts to date and to break new ground in our common search for a safer United States. For the sake of comprehensiveness, in my testimony today I will address in order each section of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act that involves the Department of State and briefly outline the Department's efforts in each area. Section 103 concerns the amount of the machine-readable visa fee and authorizes a surcharge for issuing visas in passports which are not machine-readable. The machine-readable visa fee will go up from $65 to $100 on November 1, 2002, reflecting increases in the actual cost of providing visa service. Added security screening procedures, restrictions on the role of Foreign Service National employees and further increases in management oversight have made visa processing more expensive. Consistent with the principle of full cost recovery, the Department will continue to conduct regular cost of service studies to ensure that this fee remains appropriate for the cost of services provided. The Department has not yet implemented a surcharge for bearers of passports which are not machine-readable but appreciates the authorization to do so and stands prepared to collect this surcharge should it become necessary. Section 201(a) of the Act concerns interim measures to maximize information sharing relevant to the admissibility and deportability of aliens. Significant progress has been made in the past year to increase that amount of information available to visa officers overseas and, conversely, to INS and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the United States. The State Department's Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) is a principal example of this progress. The Department has been able to leverage the provisions of the Enhanced Border Security Act and USA Patriot Act to make CLASS an ever-stronger tool in our efforts to protect our national security. CLASS uses sophisticated search algorithms to match lookout information to individual visa applicants. Every single visa applicant is run through CLASS, and in fact, our automated processing systems will not print a visa until the consular officer has checked and resolved "hits" of the applicant's biodata against the lookout system data. CLASS is only as good, however, as the data that it contains. I am happy to report that post 9/11 this situation has improved dramatically. CLASS records have doubled since September 11. Per USA PATRIOT Act mandate, more than 7 million names of persons with FBI records were added to the CLASS database by August 2002, augmenting 5.8 million name records from State, INS, DEA, and intelligence sources. These NCIC records include the FBI's Violent Gang and Terrorist Database, a particularly valuable resource. When a visa applicant "hits" against NCIC records in CLASS, consular sections can obtain fingerprints to pass to the FBI for purposes of obtaining a full criminal record if necessary, with the fingerprints to help guard against any identification problems. 20,000 Customs serious violator name records have been added to CLASS since September 11, 2001. CLASS now has over 78,000 name records of suspected terrorists, up 40% in the past year. Most of this information has entered CLASS through TIPOFF, a program run through the Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research that acts as a clearinghouse for sensitive intelligence information provided by other agencies throughout the US government. The TIPOFF staff is able to review and evaluate information concerning suspected terrorists and pass sanitized index information to CLASS. Since September 11, 2001, approximately 20,000 new terrorist lookouts have been entered in the TIPOFF database. The Department is working on CLASS enhancements including better data on lost and stolen passports, more deportation records from INS, a backup facility at our Kentucky Consular Center, more hardware capacity, and new search algorithms. An interoperable law enforcement and intelligence data system with linguistic algorithms and robust training and support is the subject of Section 202 of the Act. The State Department currently shares electronic data relevant to visa eligibility with other agencies including INS and is rapidly expanding information sharing arrangements throughout the law enforcement and intelligence communities. The Department's systems use open, flexible architecture consistent with industry standards in order to facilitate information sharing. All nonimmigrant and immigrant visa activities at all of our posts worldwide are replicated to the Consular Consolidated Database at five minute intervals, providing the Department, INS and other US government agencies with a near-real-time window into this work. The State Department's CLASS lookout system has used for sometime now linguistically sensitive algorithms for checking Arabic, and Russian-Slavic names. A Hispanic algorithm is developed and ready for implementation. An algorithm for East Asian languages is under study. The Department of State has been a leader in the development of linguistic logic in search processes and is actively engaged with other US government agencies to share this expertise and ensure optimal implementation of this section of the law by the specified deadline. The State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs provides assistance to consular officers in resolving identity and other questions concerning CLASS lookout system hits, in addition to handling substantial numbers of inquiries from INS and various law enforcement entities related to visas and lookout entries. Although the Department of State has skilled linguists available around the world accessible on an ad hoc basis, we feel that full implementation of this section of the act will require additional formal training, printed materials on various transliteration systems and alternative spellings, and a more formal designation of linguistic expertise in various key languages. In March of 2002 the Consular Training Division began offering a course on Advanced Consular Namechecking techniques. This course teaches students about the language algorithms used in CLASS to ensure officers provide the best information possible regarding applicants and thus increase the reliability of namechecks. We are exploring a number of additional alternatives for providing this expertise, beginning with a support structure in the Department of State, but expect to discuss this further in the context of the formation of the Department of Homeland Security as part of a coordinated support structure. The latest versions of our nonimmigrant visa processing system also support the scanning of nonimmigrant visa applications and other documentation. Soon all visa processing posts will have this software, and we have procured and shipped scanners to each post to allow them to scan serious refusal files into the consolidated database. We will soon expand this procedure to require posts to scan visa applications in cases requiring special security screening. Telecommunication and other resource issues prevent us from immediately scanning all applications worldwide, although this is our longer-term intention. We should also note that we have begun efforts to allow applicants to submit applications electronically, which will ultimately facilitate more efficient sharing of these files. I defer to my colleague from INS on the progress of work to establish a database of arrival and departure data, but I should note that the Department of State is a regular participant in discussions of this issue and stands firmly behind INS efforts. We believe that the Consular Consolidated Database with its repository of visa information will be a key resource in this effort. The Department of State's Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) database is interoperable with the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) that INS uses in regard to determining admissibility under section 212 of the INA. In fact, State and INS began electronic sharing of data through these systems in 1995. The systems architecture used by the Department lends itself readily to interoperability and we look forward to expanding information sharing activities with INS and other agencies. The Department of State meets regularly with the INS in the interagency Entry Exit Program Team, the Datashare Working Group, the Senior Implementation Group of the Border Agency Partnership, and other ad hoc meetings to discuss and resolve issues related to facilitation of lawful and efficient cross-border movement of persons and border security. We feel that we and INS have important experience with the problems of moving large numbers of people that will help ensure optimal implementation of this section of the law. Finally, the Department is taking the lead in discussions with the governments of Canada and Mexico on closer cooperation on matters of border security. Section 303 concerns standards for and implementation of machine-readable, tamper resistant travel documents. The report called for in Section 303(a) is currently under preparation and the State Department is participating fully in this process. The Department of State, in coordination with the Department of Justice and other concerned agencies, is working to determine the appropriate type of document and biometric standards to use with travel documents issued to aliens. Although many of the final implementation details will have to wait for formal decisions on these standards, the Department of State already issues nonimmigrant visas which are machine-readable and include digitized photos. Since the attacks of September 11, we have successfully rolled out the new Lincoln nonimmigrant visa, which contains major enhancements to prevent alteration and duplication, in pilot posts overseas, with plans to complete worldwide deployment by early 2003. Prior to 9/11, we had already begun design work on a machine-readable immigrant visa, also to include a digitized photo. We are currently collecting input from our missions in countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program and have already met with each of these nations to discuss the requirement that they incorporate biometric identifying data in their passports. Although all of these countries recognize the importance of including biometric indicators in their travel documents, and most already use at least digitized photos, specific plans are still under development. This section of the law refers to standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), rather than to the NIST-developed standard necessary for our own visas. An ICAO working group has identified three acceptable biometric identifiers--face, fingerprint and iris. A full ICAO meeting in early 2003 should finalize the standards. We will continue an active dialogue with ICAO and the governments involved on this issue and are preparing to report to Congress as required by Section 303(a) of the Act. The Department of State is meeting the provisions of Section 304 for terrorist lookout committees through the Visas Viper program, a program which began in the aftermath of the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and has been significantly enhanced pursuant to the requirements of the Enhanced Border Security Act. It is an ongoing interagency collaboration here in Washington and at our posts abroad. Overseas agencies and sections meet monthly or more often to review data on possible terrorists and terrorism supporters for submission to Washington for inclusion in the lookout system. Quarterly reports will be prepared for Congress as required by the Act. Since the Visas Viper program began, over 60,000 names of persons suspected of involvement in terrorism have been submitted through this channel and entered into the Consular Lookout and Support System through the TIPOFF database. Section 305 expands the existing training required for consular officers. Much required consular training has always included instruction on the detection of fraudulent documents, imposters, and indicators of criminal intent. The Department's training center, the Foreign Service Institute, has initiated several changes to the basic consular course and other training. As mentioned earlier, in March of 2002 the Consular Training Division began offering a course on Advanced Consular Namechecking Techniques. We have now trained 70 offices in 2002 and expect to train 120 more in each of FY 03 and FY 04. This course teaches students about the language algorithms used in the CLASS system to ensure officers provide the best information possible regarding applicants and increase the reliability of namecheck matches. A separate but very important benefit of this course has been the direct feedback opportunities between field officers, computer technical staff, and Department management. Officers in this course are also updated on special security requirements, including new screening programs instituted during the past year. The basic course also contains information on new security screening requirements and now included additional emphasis on ethics and accountability. In addition, FSI plans to provide new officers with briefings on terrorism, additional fraud training, and more time to hone interviewing skills. The latter initiatives are in varying stages of planning and implementation. FSI is collaborating with Counter-Terrorism officials at the FBI to start counter-terrorism sessions for consular officers as soon as the FBI has the training segment ready. As an initial measure, to ensure that visas are not issued to persons from state sponsors of terrorism who might pose a security risk, the Department has put in place a variety of procedures explicitly designed to cut very broadly. As an interim measure, all adult visa applicants who are national or permanent residents of or who were born in one of these nations are subject to formal special clearance requirements. We anticipate reviewing these procedures in consultation with other agencies before making recommendations to the Secretary of State as to a final process for making the required determination under Section 306 of the Act. Under the Act, the Secretary is required to consult with the Attorney General and the heads of other agencies to establish standards to implement the statutory requirement that an individual determination is made that 'such alien does not pose a threat to the safety or national security of the United States' in order for a visa to be issued. Section 307 establishes a requirement for timely reporting of lost and stolen passports in order for a country to continue participating in the visa waiver program. Although this section will likely not, practically speaking, apply to existing visa waiver nations until such time as they are certified for continued participation in the program, we are discussing this requirement with all visa waiver countries. INS can provide the details of our joint review of six of these nations, but I can confirm that report of theft of passports has been a major topic of discussion in each case. In addition, all consular sections worldwide were instructed to begin discussing this requirement with host governments in a State Department message dated June 27, 2002. I defer to my INS colleague for comment on the periodic certification of visa waiver participants but note that the Department of State intends to participate fully in each review. The State Department's CLASS lookout system includes a database of lost and stolen passports which has been improved to address the requirement of Section 308. Each visa applicant's passport issuance number is electronically checked against this database prior to visa issuance. The Department already has in place a system for collecting data on missing blank foreign documents, and enters these documents into the CLASS system where appropriate. We are currently creating a database that will allow interagency cooperation on document searches to be quicker and more accurate. Currently the CLASS system has over 80,000 US and 250,000 foreign lost and stolen passport numbers in its database. Section 401 requires a study of the feasibility of a North American National Security Program, which is a matter of ongoing discussion with the governments of both Mexico and Canada. The Department participates fully in these discussions. We in the State Department are actively participating with the INS and the exchange community in the design and development of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), the permanent system that will contribute to our national security as it adds integrity to the student and exchange visa issuing process as required by Section 501 of the Act. At the same time we are working on SEVIS implementation, in response to a separate legislative mandate the Department has launched the Interim Student and Exchange Authentication System (ISEAS), which will provide for the electronic verification of student and exchange visitor visas until SEVIS is fully implemented. ISEAS is an interim system that will operate in a stand-alone capacity until SEVIS becomes final. ISEAS is a web based system that allows consular officers to verify the acceptance of foreign students and exchange visitors who apply to enter the United States in student ("F," "M") and exchange visitor ("J") nonimmigrant visa categories based on information the schools or exchange program sponsors enter directly into the system. That portion of the legislative mandate that requires the Department to inform INS of F, M or J visa issuance is being accomplished using the existing datashare link. ISEAS is the means by which INS-approved educational institutions and Department-designated exchange programs meet this legislative requirement. Consistent with the legislation, ISEAS was established as an interim system, with the limited support and capacity implied by the term. ISEAS will only be operational until SEVIS is implemented on January 30, 2002. Given the short timeframe to establish ISEAS, it unfortunately does not have the capability to share any data with SEVIS. As a result, currently, and until SEVIS is implemented and educational institutions and designated program sponsors become SEVIS compliant, designated officials will have to electronically register visa applicants into two separate databases (ISEAS and SEVIS), and consular officers will have to check both data bases to confirm the provenance of those documents, until ISEAS sunsets with final SEVIS implementation on January 30, 2003. The need to report foreign and exchange student information in two separate databases, however, will end once SEVIS is implemented and a program or institution is enrolled to use SEVIS. Section 501(c) of the Act requires the approved institution or designated exchange program sponsor to transmit electronic evidence of the applicant's acceptance to the Department. Academic institutions and program sponsors enter information from the required forms into the ISEAS web application (provided at www.iseas.state.gov To ensure data integrity, the ISEAS Internet subsystem validates the identification data entered by the designated institution or program official against approved lists of institutions or program sponsors. INS approved institutions or program sponsors correspond to F and M visas, and State Once ISEAS confirms that the institution or program is on one of the approved lists, the designated institution or program official will enter certain student or exchange visitor data, and the system returns to the school or exchange official a confirmation number which is maintained as part of the student's record. The ISEAS confirmation number will serve as evidence that a particular visa applicant's data has been entered into the ISEAS system, and is one of the search criteria available to consular officers in the field. Due to the very short development period mandated by the legislation, we were unable to deploy ISEAS before September 11. Consequently, participating academic institutions and program sponsors were unable to enter the required data into ISEAS in advance. That fact, coupled with the Act's clear wording - no student or exchange visitor visa can be issued after September 11, 2002, without electronic evidence of documentation of the alien's acceptance - meant that ISEAS deployment represented a potentially significant interruption of student and exchange visitor visa processing. We were concerned that many participating institutions and program sponsors would be unable to enter the required data into the system quickly enough to maintain smooth processing of student and exchange visitor visas. Therefore, we devised back-up procedures to ensure that consular officers receive timely electronic status verification directly from sponsoring institutions and programs, through email communications, when necessary. ISEAS was intended to be an interim mechanism to collect information on foreign students and exchange visitors pending SEVIS development and not a comprehensive solution to better track these nonimmigrant individuals. As of the October 7, 2002, over 2,988 educational institutions and exchange program sponsors have entered over 71,344 records into ISEAS. 213 visa-issuing posts have verified over 8,942 cases. ISEAS has provided both the Department and INS a better system to verify incoming foreign and exchange students, until SEVIS becomes operational in January 2003. The Department has designed and implemented a new form, the DS-158, now required of all student and exchange visitor visa applicants to meet the expanded data-collection required by the act. We are actively pursuing expanded electronic information sharing as discussed in Section 603 with the governments of Canada and Mexico, as well as with the European Union, to which the bulk of the visa waiver nations belong. We have existing data sharing arrangements with Canada and Australia that we hope can be expanded significantly. On October 2, 2002, State Department officials met with counterparts from the Mexican government to discuss sharing terrorist watchlist data and implementing a terrorist interdiction program in Mexico. The proposal built on months of preliminary discussion and was well received, with meetings proposed for early November. Next steps include technical consultations and allocation of resources, as well as preparation of a Memorandum of Understanding. In the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks, the Department instructed consular posts to retain all visa applications indefinitely. Since the passage of the Act, the Department has instructed all posts to retain these applications for at least seven years. Interim measures have been taken to provide for paper storage of these applications. Changes to consular automated systems being implemented this fall will allow consular sections to scan many of these applications for later retrieval and for easier collaboration with other concerned US government agencies on special clearance and other procedures. All visa applications dating from at least October 2000 will be retained for at least seven years in a form admissible in US courts.

Bill Burt
It was quite a journey from November through April, but nothing could match the playoffs.
From this incredible ride, here are 17 thoughts, comments and observations, in honor of the number of championships the Celtics now have:
1. This isn't the end
This was not a one-and-done season. These Celtics are built for the long haul, with Garnett signed for four more years, Pierce three and Allen two. It will be interesting watching Ainge retool this team with that one veteran-without-a-ring per season like the Patriots have done. With Detroit probably taking a step back, the Celts are the team to beat in the East 2008-09.
2. Garden crowd
It really was like old times. The homecourt advantage was insurmountable. The Kobe Bryant chants — "You're not Mi-chael!" to "Where is Ko-by?" — were classics. Remember the knocks on the place, that it wasn't homey enough?
3. Rivalry returns
Lakers fans will take offense to the embarrassing slaughter in Game 6, and the fact that they are being dismissed as not in the Celts' league. I can't wait for their two regular season games next season. Then maybe 4-7 more in June!
3. West is over-rated
When was the last time anybody said that? The Western Conference was good, with nine teams having a decent shot at being the best of the West. But quantity doesn't always equal quality. If the Lakers are indeed the best team, and they schooled the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, 4-1, how good can the Spurs be?
4. Paul Pierce's words
One of the moving comments heard after the game was from Pierce, talking about finally feeling as if he is on equal footing to some Celtics greats. He said, "All the years talking to Bill (Russell) and John (Havlicek), (Bob) Cousy ... finally, I feel like we've come out of that shadow now and created our own. And now we can stand up and look them eye to eye and say, 'Hey, we accomplished it, too.' "
5. Paul Pierce's actions
Kobe Bryant was the regular season MVP. But the best player on the floor the last two weeks was Pierce. He was a complete player — scoring, passing and defending. His second half defensive performance against Kobe in Game 4 basically ended the series. He may not be better than Kobe, but he was the last two weeks.
6. Ray Allen is a pro
We should have known. He wasn't old. He was in a slump, a slump caused by two teams (Cleveland and Detroit) that said they weren't going to let him beat them from afar. Well, he finally figured it out in Game 5 against Detroit in the conference finals, netting five of six 3-pointers and the rest is history. Except for Pierce, he was the finals MVP, averaging 20.3 points and nearly four treys a game.
7. Don't blame Kobe
This is too easy. The L.A. press is killing him. The bottom line is he did not have any help and he had Tom Thibodeau's defensive scheme — anybody but Kobe — stifling his brilliant drives to the basket. The Lakers had the Big One and that was it.
8. Eddie's in the House
This was a great story. House didn't play the first two games (coach's decision). In games 3 through 6, he gave the Celtics offense some energy with Rajon Rondo struggling. His quick release is special. The fans fell in love with him at the Garden, chanting "Ed-die! Ed-die!" on several occasions. He hit seven 3-pointers and gave the Lakers problems.
9. Doc's class
Doc Rivers never gave in. Unlike Phil Jackson, he never slammed the referees. He never backed down from the road woes early, saying "We are going to have to win on the road if we are going to win a championship." Playing guys like House, Leon Powe and Tony Allen was crucial. He earned his stripes against one of the greatest coaches in NBA history.
10. Lakers were Rondo'd
Jackson pulled no punches about the Game 6 hero. "Rondo was the star. He was the guy out there that made the plays, got the steals, pushed their offense into high drive and created havoc for us." Rondo still needs to work on his jumper but the rest of his game is Grade A. When he is on his game, the Celtics were impossible to beat.
11. Russell-Garnett relationship
This was not for the cameras. Bill Russell truly believed Kevin Garnett was the straw that stirred the Celtics' drink. Garnett was reduced to tears after the game when Russell hugged him. It was almost a passing of the torch.
12. Phil Jackson not a magician
He showed phony optimism the entire series. He said he believed the Lakers would turn it around. He was telling a white lie. His championship Bulls and Lakers had legends, but they also played great defense. It was remarkable, that this team made it look easy before the finals.
13. Danny defers
The Celtics president was not easy to find in the playoffs. He let the players and Rivers get the fanfare. He easily could have said, "I told you so," but never did. His performance this season is well-documented. His letting the team get the credit was special.
14. Road worriers to road warriors
The Celtics were the best team on the road during the regular season (31-10) and in the end they were in the playoffs, too. After the brutal start, losing their first six playoff road games, they won the games they had to — Game 3 in Detroit and Game 4 in L.A., for example.
15. Ex-Celts enjoyed ride
I have never seen John Havlicek around so much. His wife joined him for the close-out game. JoJo White, Russell, Satch Sanders and, of course, Tommy Heinsohn, had as much fun rooting this team on as the fans did. Havlicek, historically reserved, danced and waved as much as the "Gino" worshipers. It was nice to see them all back.
16. Posey for president
James Posey was the Celtics poster boy in the playoffs. He has a lot of Troy Brown in him: quiet, unassuming, tough, a winner. He was probably the most consistent Celtic for the last two months.
17. Celtics Pride is back
There is no question about this one. Of course, it had something to do with the winning. But as several players said, including Al Jefferson, it was there last year, too. Kevin Garnett admitted he hadn't seen anything like it. It felt like being at Fenway Park for a World Series game. The fact that Bill Belichick and many Patriots were at nearly every playoff game speaks volumes.

My Android device screen got broken and I can't see what I'm doing. That's the only wrong thing with my device, the rest is apparently working OK. Is there any way to send my device screen to my computer?
I don't want to work blindly anymore!
You don't have to continue working blindly, you can use Droid@Screen: it shows the screen of a real or emulated Android device on a computer running Windows, Mac OS or Linux. Droid@Screen is a stand-alone Java Swing GUI application that shows the screen of an Android device on a computer. Its author says that its typical usage is showing an app demo or during training, but it also fits your case. In order to use it, you need the following to be installed in your computer:
Note: USB Debugging must be enabled on your device. (Thanks @JasonC for the heads up) I have been using it with my Galaxy Nexus and I must say that despite a little lag between what happens in the phone and what is displayed in the computer screen (2-4 s), it does what it says. You don't even need to be rooted for that! You can download it from the author's site, where you also can watch a complete video and text instructions about its installation and usage. |
if your device has an hdmi port, you can connect that to a monitor or a telivision with hdmi support. their are programs, like Droid@Screen, as Dan said, that let you connect your device to a pc. --Daniel |
