As someone who obsessively organizes the directory structure of his Mac, and spends even more time pruning the desktop, I'm annoyed when there's something I can't control or update. For several months I have been annoyed by the Xcode Organizer showing a variety of former teams I was a part of in its listing. These listings weren't doing anything to harm my development process, but they were a mild annoyance anytime I'd work with the Organizer.
After much experimentation, which even included manually editing crazy plists and XML files, I finally figured out how to cleanse the Organizer sidebar of teams you no longer want listed.
- Launch the Keychain Access app (
/Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app)
- Select "Certificates" from the Categories listing on the left.
- Delete any expired certificates related to Mac or iPhone development.
- Delete any non-expired certificates that are for teams you're no longer a member of.
- Quit and relaunch Xcode.

10th Anniversary of Boston .NET Architecture Group (originally Boston Code Brew)
The Boston .NET Architecture Group will be celebrating our 10th Anniverary this Wednesday. I and a few others began the group ten years ago in December, 2004 as the Boston Code Brew as a result of many discussions that began in 2003 with an idea of starting a .NET Patterns Group in the Boston area. Wow - has time gone by fast!
Speaking at Connecticut .NET Developers Group: ASP.NET MVC 2: Best Practices, September 14, 2010
I will be speaking at the Connecticut .NET Developers Group that will be held at the Microsoft offices in Farmington, CT on September 14, 2010.
Upcoming speaking engagement: ASP.NET MVC 2, Silverlight Security at New England Code Camp 14
I haven't spoke at a conference for awhile but I plan to offer several sessions at the New England Code Camp 14 that will be held at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA on October 2, 2010.
ASP.NET MVC 2 Training
I have recently finished writing a comprehensive training course on ASP.NET MVC 2 with C#. I am now offering this 3-day course through my independent consulting company. Please check out my Training page on my company web site if you are interested.
(By the way, I updated my own website to run and use the .NET Framework 4.0 and ASP.NET MVC 2. It was a fun exercise to update my 10+ year old format I used for ages.)
Two new Microsoft Security Developement Lifecycle (SDL) tools: MiniFuzz File Fuzzer and BinScope Binary Analyzer
Microsoft has announced two new Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) tools here:
MiniFuzz is a basic testing tool designed to help detect code flaws that may expose security vulnerabilities in file-handling code. This tool creates multiple random variations of file content and feeds it to the application to exercise the code in an attempt to expose unexpected application behaviors.
Because fuzzing is effective at finding bugs, it is a required activity in the Verification Phase of the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). With the release of MiniFuzz, we have made a simple file fuzzer available to assist developer efforts to find and address more bugs in code before it ships to customers.
The BinScope Binary Analyzer is a Microsoft verification tool that analyzes binaries to ensure that they have been built in compliance with Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) requirements and recommendations. BinScope checks that SDL-required compiler/linker flags are being set, strong-named assemblies are in use, and up-to-date build tools are in place.
BinScope also reports on dangerous constructs that are prohibited or discouraged by the SDL (e.g. read/write shared sections and global function pointers). For a more detailed enumeration of the checks performed by BinScope, please see the BinScope documentation. BinScope is available in two forms: as a standalone executable and as a Visual Studio add-on.
Jeremy Dallman, of Microsoft, explains both tools in this post.
NHibernate and Fluent NHibernate Training
I have spent a great deal of time over the last year and a half on a couple of projects architecting solutions using NHibernate and Fluent NHibernate as the preferred ORM (object relational mapper). It has really matured into a great set of products with the release of NHibernate 2.1 (especially with System.Transaction support) and Fluent NHibernate 1.0. I have also used LINQ to NHibernate 1.0 and like how that works as well, but it could be tweaked some more.
I have decided to turn that experience into training classes offered through my independent consulting company. Please check out my Training page on my company web site if you are interested.
PDC 2008 - Geneva Identity Management
As Jason Hogg mentions in his blog post, the Geneva Identity Management Framework (renamed from Zermatt) was announced yesterday at PDC 2008.
Genvea includes:
- Geneva Framework - A .NET framework for writing interoperable, claims aware applicatoins
- Geneva STS - An STS integrated with AD. Supports issuance (finally) and consumption of Cardspace Cards.
- CardSpace Geneva - A federation client
In addition to these framework like components, there are also a couple of services (biult using Geneva) including:
Microsoft Federation Gateway - Provides the basis for the Microsoft Services Identity backbone - brokering access to Microsoft cloud applications and developre services
Microsoft Connector Services - Federates AD to the Microsoft Federation Gateway. Provides lightweight access to the federation gateway.
.NET Access Control Service - Next generation service (STS) that performs claims transformation. It receives authentication information and issues authz decisions. This includes a management portal and API's for managing and writing authz policies.
You can get the bits here.
I have recently been working with a client to set up a STS and stumbled upon Zermatt and was very excited to see this direction. If you are looking to build/deploy a claims-aware application and need an STS over WCF, take a look at Geneva.
NOTE: Requirements are Vista and/or Windows 2003/2008 for the installation of the Geneva Framework and Windows 2008 for installation of the Geneva STS.
MVP 2008 - thanks again!
I got notice today, as others did, I have once again been named a Microsoft MVP for 2008 in the area of Visual Developer - Security. Thanks again, Microsoft, and my MVP lead Rafael Munoz, and all those who have been very supportive of my community work this past year (with my speaking at several conferences, speaking at user groups, and leading a user group as well).
WCF 3.5 will support Usernames over Transport Authentication
Like Dominick Baier and Christian Weyer of Thinktecture, I also wondered why I couldn't use a UsernameToken with Transport Security in WCF v.1. I wanted to put together a simple demo for a client and that feature just wasn't there. Dominick mentions in this post it will finally be available in WCF 3.5. Great!
Heartland Developers Conference 2007 wrap-up
Once again, for the 4th year in a row, I enjoyed the one conference I make sure to book well in advance. I haven't traveled to conferences as much this year, instead focused on client-related work. This was one conference, however, I was really looking forward to attending and presenting. I am originally from the mid-west (Oklahoma) and have lived in Massachusetts for 12 years now but I always feel more at home when I go to HDC than anywhere I have visited. The layout of the area, the local convenient stores, the people, and the atmosphere remind me a great deal of what I remembered most about growing up in the mid-west.

I thought it would be cool if anyone had any pics that they would share of the worst storms ever. Thought it would be interesting
I thought it would be cool if anyone had any pics that they would share of the worst storms ever. Thought it would be interesting
. . . just about any photos from the '62 March Storm that took out the Cape May Convention center and the boardwalk (That's why they have a sea-wall now- My initials are still there in the sea-wall, look for ''TWS '62'' at the end of Decatur Street).
In OCM the ocean joined with the bay and cut a new inlet through town at 72nd street. It was only a Nor'Easter, but they lined up back to back and held every high tide against the shore until the next high tide arrived. I once taught a student whose father was the only fatality of that storm. He was a Trailways bus driver I believe on his way to work, but driving through standing water on coastal highway he didn't realize there was a newly cut inlet at 72nd street and he drove right into it. A very tragic drowning.
images from Jersey.
From Ocean City, MD
I spent much of the storm floating around the streets of Cape May in a boat and since my home at the Manse was still above water, we had five families living with us until the water receded. Main Street was the high ground in town.
Needless to say, no one was surfing during that storm.
While some would say Katrina- far more damage resulted from levee failures than from Katrina's winds. The worst damage didn't happen until a day after the storm had passed. If you want wind damage, then it would be Hurricane Andrew that hit south Florida.

I'd have to vote for the storm that was supposed to give us a swell this weekend.
its all over the news still man and that was what... 2 years ago
worst storm ever
I know it sounds cheesy, but I surfed that day, October 31, 1991 because I had a Halloween party that night and it was all we talked about. It was 12+ in Delray Beach, FL. The wave surges were washing away cars on A1A. It was the first time I had to time the sets...thankfully I made it out. But once I was out there I was afraid to come in because it meant I had to take one of those behemoths.
Oh yea, I was riding a 6'-1" Natural Art to top it off.

I remember hurricane Gloria in 85 when I lived on the Chesapeake Bay in Va. That was one ruthless storm for sure. I am been through dozens of hurricanes since but the Halloween storm was extratropical and RUTHLESS.
The movie the Perfect Storm was the Halloween Storm.

i surfed the pier and it was about 10-12 foot and peeling
it was so big that when a set would come and you were sittin on your board...when you rolled over the wave you could touch the top of the pier
i love storms
Gloria, the perfect storm and the march storm are definitely up there as far as damage goes. My parents have 16mm footage of the march storm which decimated the lavellete area. Like LBI the bay and ocean met in multiple places. Here is a link to some photos of LBI:
as twisted as this sounds, i would have love to have seen the surf after this storm.
Heres a little video of what not to do during the hurricane haha
the halloween aka perfect storm was bad and so was Floyd

Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Gov. Jerry Brown is drawing praise for his political maneuvering in closing a $25 billion budget deficit and restoring some of California's financial luster.
The state's credit rating is rebounding and schools are expecting an infusion of money this fall.
Yet Brown's legacy remains uncertain as he finishes his third term and prepares for a re-election run for a fourth and final one.
The $6 billion a year in sales and income tax increases he persuaded voters to approve last fall will be expiring by the end of his possible fourth term in 2019, leaving the same type of budget headaches he inherited. In addition, about $200 billion in unfunded public pension and retiree health care liabilities remain.
He also is pushing two public infrastructure projects -- a high-speed rail line and freeway-sized water tunnels -- that will cost more than $90 billion.

Since then I have lived in most regions of India with People from diverse cultural Backgrounds and am well familiar with most regional cultures of this great nation.
Kolkata September 1997 – April, 1998
I joined a coaching institute in Kolkata for JEE preparation,
I had always aspired for a career in Engineering.
Bokaro Steel City 1998-99 to 1999-2000
Joined BIT, Bokaro for Engineering. After spending around 1 and 1/2 years here, I realized my Life was not moving forward and my the foreseeable future didn't seem promising. I started assessing other Options and started acquiring information on other Opportunities.
Bangalore (2000-2001 to 2003-2004)
I decided to enroll myself in a full time Course of BSc in Computer Science at PES College, Bangaolre.
I stayed in Bangalore for these three years with Bengalis, Assamese,
Tamils, Kannadigas, Malyalese and Punjaabis.

I completed BSc in May, 2003 and decided to try finding a job to become financially independent and to support further studies for myself.
Not surprisingly, soon I realized that a Bsc degree was not good enough to secure any decent Job.
I didn't know much back then and had no real clue as to where I stood among millions of Young Graduates in this Country.
I decided to enroll for MCA in IBMR, Pune and to keep exploring for
Opportunities besides self assessment and Improvement in a gradual manner.

Bringing Vinexpo to the United States for the first time was "a gamble well worth taking," said event chairwoman Dominique Hériard-Dubreuil, "and the gamble paid off." But for many producers, the New York premiere of the wine-and-spirits trade show was only the first round of betting for the North American market jackpot.

Policies and Procedures
- Section VI - 1.20(B) UMB POLICY ON SEX-BASED DISCRIMINATION OF STUDENTS
I. Policy
The University of Maryland, Baltimore ("UMB") prohibits sex-based discrimination of students by other students, faculty or staff. Sex-based discrimination includes, but is not limited to, sexual harassment and sexual violence. Academic decisions will not be based on stereotypes and assumptions about abilities, traits, or the performance of individuals on the basis of sex.
Furthermore, both intentional discrimination and neutral procedures that disproportionately exclude individuals on the basis of sex that are not school related are prohibited. Sexual harassment is an infringement of an individual's right to work and study in an environment free from unwanted sexual attention and sexual pressure of any kind. Sex-based discrimination including sexual harassment can result in a significant human resource drain for UMB, can hinder the scholastic efforts of students, and may violate the law of Maryland and the United States. UMB students who are also UMB employees should be aware of UMB's Policy on Sex-based Discrimination of Employees.
II. Definitions
UMB has adopted the standards of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Education.
- Sex-based discrimination: Unlawful discrimination against a student because of his/her sex in regard to admission, dismissal, advancement, graduation, training, or any other term, condition, or privilege of student status.
- Sexual Harassment, including sexual violence: Unwelcome sexual advances, unwelcome requests for sexual favors, and other behavior of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:
- Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's participation in a UMB educational program; or
- Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic decisions affecting that individual; or
- Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's academic performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment.
III. Examples of Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment includes sexual violence. Sexual violence means physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person's will or where a person cannot give consent. Sexual violence encompasses rape, sexual assault, sexual battery and sexual coercion. Sexual harassment, including sexual violence, can include any or all of the following behaviors, as well as others which are not listed:
- Harassment through public or private insult, sexually suggestive comments concerning a person's body or behavior, and sexual demands.
- Subtle or overt pressure to comply with demands of sexual activity.
- Remarks about another person's clothing, body, sexual activities, sexual preferences, gender identity, or sexual orientation, as well as teasing, jokes, remarks, or gestures which are sexual in nature.
- Unnecessary touching, pinching, patting, or exposure of another person's body.
- Unwarranted staring at another person's body.
- Unwanted communications of a sexual nature in writing, by telephone, or by other means.
- Requests or demands for sexual favors accompanied by implied or overt threats about grades, clinical assignments, class academic assignments, recommendations, student employment, etc.
- Repetition of unwanted invitations for dates.
- Physical assault of a sexual nature, up to and including attempted or actual rape.
IV. Campus Resources
Sex-based discrimination and sexual harassment of students by students, faculty or staff will not be tolerated. Proven harassment will result in remedial and disciplinary action which may include suspension, expulsion or dismissal. The University will take steps to prevent the recurrence of sexual harassment and sexual violence considering a range of remedial and disciplinary sanctions, including but not limited to a requirement not to repeat or continue the discriminatory, harassing, or retaliatory conduct, a requirement to undergo training, suspension or dismissal. The University will take steps to correct discriminatory effects of sexual harassment and sexual violence on the parties and others, as appropriate and feasible, e.g., coordinate with program administrators to reschedule due dates of assignments or exams, allow distance learning in lieu of class attendance where available, facilitate change of class section, change of schedule, authorize leave to attend counseling and healthcare appointments, refer to campus police escort, etc.
Student questions about peer behavior that may constitute sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment and questions about disciplinary policies should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator (indicated below). If the Title IX Coordinator cannot be reached or there is a role conflict, the Deputy Title IX Coordinator may be used as an alternate.

Article V. Filing a Complaint and Investigation Proceedings
A student with questions or a complaint about sexual harassment/sexual violence should report to the Title IX Coordinator for sexual harassment/sexual violence complaints on campus. If the Title IX Coordinator cannot be reached or there is a role conflict, the Deputy Title IX Coordinator may be used as an alternate.
Timely reporting of allegations of sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment/sexual violence is crucial. It permits effective UMB intervention to protect students and educate and/or discipline offenders. Incidents of discrimination or harassment/violence should be documented promptly and reported as soon as practical.
Reporting an incident of discrimination or harassment more than thirty (30) days after it occurs can hinder the ability of UMB to investigate the matter. This reporting time may change if the alleged sexual harassment/violence incident is continuous. Nevertheless, UMB will investigate any complaint filed within a reasonable time.
The University may not attempt to resolve a sexual harassment/sexual violence complaint informally such as through a conference with the parties or mediation.
Students should refer to the procedures below to file a complaint so, if necessary, an investigation can begin as soon as practicable. UMB is committed to working with a complaining student and the respondent throughout the investigation. Good faith departure from standard practices, in order to better serve the needs of the student, the respondent, or UMB, will not invalidate the policy or procedures.
A. Filing a Complaint
1. The student ("Complainant") should provide an oral or written report of the incident underlying the complaint. The student may also provide pertinent records and documentation. Information that may be helpful to an inquiry and resolution of the complaint includes:
- Date, Time, Name, E-mail, Address and Phone Number of the Complainant School or unit with which Complainant is associated
- Complainant's title or program /year of study
- Complainant's role in the incident, e.g., target of alleged sexual harassment/violence, witness, friend Name of the alleged harasser ("Respondent")
- School or unit with which Respondent is associated
- Respondent's title or program/year of study
- Relationship between the Respondent and the Complainant
- Address where the alleged sexual harassment/sexual violence occurred
- Date and time when the alleged sexual harassment/sexual violence occurred
- A description of the alleged sexual harassment/sexual violence conduct, e.g., sexually degrading comments or gestures, inappropriate touching; sexual contact without consent, including sexual intercourse
- Other circumstances which contributed to the incident, e.g., physical disability, alcohol use
- Other incidents of hostile conduct by the Respondent, if any
- Other(s) involved in the incident as possible Complainant(s), witness(es) or additional Respondent(s)
- What action by the University does the Complainant seek in response to the harassing conduct
- Has the Complainant made a report to others, e.g., local or Campus Police, BETA Team, faculty, students, others
- Has the Complainant requested partial or complete confidentiality
2. The University must make a prompt, thorough and impartial inquiry, regardless of whether or not the Complainant has already reported the matter to the police, or makes a formal report to the campus Title IX Coordinator, desires an inquiry, or requests that no inquiry be made.
3. A request for confidentiality may limit the University's ability to respond to the complaint. The University will take reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with the Complainant's requests, as long as doing so does not prevent the University from responding effectively to a hostile environment and preventing hostile behavior that may be directed toward others.
4. The University will comply with law enforcement requests for cooperation and such cooperation may require the University to temporarily suspend the fact-finding aspect of the sexual harassment/sexual violence complaint while law enforcement is in the process of gathering evidence. The University will promptly resume its investigating the sexual harassment/sexual violence complaint as soon as notified by law enforcement that it has completed the evidence gathering process, which may delay the University's investigation by ten calendar days or longer depending on the circumstances. While law enforcement evidence gathering is conducted, the Title IX Coordinator will issue a reminder to persons involved, about the importance of complying with the investigation process; the presumption of innocence of the parties; the need to consult with the Title IX Coordinator before taking interim responsive action; the prohibition against retaliation; and the obligation to treat the matter in strict confidence for the protection of both the Complainant and the Respondent. The University will implement appropriate interim responsive action during the law enforcement evidence gathering period to provide for the safety of the Complainant and the campus community and the avoidance of retaliation.
B. Preliminary Review of the Complaint
- The Title IX Coordinator will determine whether the allegations in the complaint are allegations of sexual harassment or sexual violence subject to this process or are instead allegations falling entirely under other policies and procedures, such as those relevant to employment complaints. In the latter case, the student making the allegation will be referred to the alternative policies and procedures, or the allegations shall be referred to appropriate administrators for resolution.
- If it is not apparent from the content of an allegation whether or not it relates to sexual harassment or sexual violence, or if it warrants initiation of an Investigation, the Title IX Coordinator may conduct a Preliminary Review. The Title IX Coordinator will determine whether to conduct a Preliminary Review or proceed directly to an Investigation within ten (10) working days after receiving an allegation, when feasible. If a Preliminary Review is undertaken, it shall be concluded within thirty (30) calendar days after it is commenced unless extended for good cause. In the Preliminary Review, the Title IX Coordinator, or a person designated by the Title IX Coordinator, may interview the Complainant (if known) and the Respondent (if known). Complainant and Respondent will be offered an equal opportunity to participate in the Preliminary Review. A written summary should be made of the information gathered. Notice of the outcome of the Preliminary Review will be provided to the parties. In the event the Title IX Coordinator decides to conclude the complaint process after the Preliminary Review, and without referral to any other due process for further action, either party may appeal for reconsideration in writing to the Title IX Coordinator who will issue a written response.
- Based on the result of the Preliminary Review, the Title IX Coordinator will decide either to (1) proceed with an Investigation, or (2) conclude the complaint process under this procedure. The Title IX Coordinator may conclude the complaint process due to (a) insufficient evidence to support a finding of sexual harassment or sexual violence by a preponderance of the evidence; or (b) finding the complaint involves matters which are beyond the scope of applicable University sexual harassment/sexual violence policies. Documentation of the Preliminary Review and the reasons for the decision of the Title IX Coordinator will be kept for at least 3 years following conclusion of the matter.
- At any time, the Title IX Coordinator may implement, or recommend to appropriate University administrators, measures to prevent a sexually discriminatory environment and prevent sexually harassment and sexual violence that may be directed toward others.
C. Investigation
- Upon deciding to proceed with an Investigation, the Title IX Coordinator shall appoint an investigative team as expeditiously as possible, but in all cases within thirty (30) calendar days following the determination to proceed.
- The investigative team will develop an appropriate investigational plan depending on the circumstances surrounding the complaint class (e.g., familiarity with location, unit, school, and curriculum). If a complaint involves persons from more than one school or operational unit of the University, the investigative team may consult appropriate University administrators about the investigational plan.
- a. The Title IX Coordinator will provide the Complainant, Respondent, University administrators with authority over the Complainant or Respondent (e.g., a Dean or Vice President), and persons whose decisions or actions are the subject of the complaint with notice of the investigation, a copy of this Policy, and information about the appointment of the investigative team. In so doing, the Title IX Coordinator will also issue a reminder about the importance of complying with the investigation process; the presumption of innocence of the parties; the need to consult with the Title IX Coordinator before taking interim responsive action; the prohibition against retaliation; and the obligation to treat the matter in strict confidence for the protection of both the Complainant and the Respondent. b. In cases where a University administrator with authority over the Complainant or Respondent (e.g., a Dean or Vice President) has a conflict of interest, the Title IX Coordinator may select an alternative to assume the role of University Administrator for the purposes of this policy. This is to ensure that each step of the investigation and appeal involving a determination by the University Administrator will be conducted in an impartial manner by an impartial decision-maker.
- The Complainant and Respondent will each have an opportunity to meet separately with the investigative team to discuss the complaint and the investigative process, and to submit written statements, names of witnesses and other evidence.
- Where the Complainant seeks anonymity, the investigation team will attempt to maintain that anonymity to the degree compatible with accomplishing the fact-finding purpose of the investigation and as long as doing so does not prevent the University from responding effectively to a sexually discriminatory environment and preventing sexually discriminatory behavior that may be directed toward others.
- The investigative team will investigate the complaint, interview the parties and witnesses, review evidence, look at the record as a whole and at the totality of the circumstances.
- The investigative team will complete its investigation as expeditiously as possible. An Investigation must be completed within sixty (60) calendar days of its initiation unless circumstances clearly warrant a longer period. If this deadline cannot be met, a request for extension which includes a report of reasons for the request, a description of the progress to date and an anticipated schedule for completing the Investigation shall be filed with the Title IX Coordinator, and all involved persons shall be informed of the time extension by the Title IX Coordinator.
- The investigative team will prepare a report summarizing the administrative process including what evidence was reviewed, names of persons interviewed, summary of interviews, discussion of the evidence, and findings, conclusions and recommendations for sanctions and remedial action. The investigative team will use a "preponderance of the evidence" standard.
- The Respondent, the Complainant and persons whose decisions or actions are the subject of the complaint will be given a copy of the investigative report and will have fifteen (15) calendar days to comment in writing on the report. Comments shall be made part of the record.
- Persons involved in the investigation will be expected to cooperate and provide information, records, and other pertinent data at least to the extent such cooperation is required by applicable school policy (including codes of conduct) and University policy. However, the investigative team and the Title IX Coordinator have no subpoena power or other power to compel cooperation.
- All participants are free to consult personal advisors and legal counsel, each at their own expense. Advisors and attorneys will not be present in meetings with the investigative team or with the Title IX Coordinator. The schedule for the investigation will allow time for the participants to consult with and obtain advice from personal and legal advisors.
- Timely access to documents considered relevant to the investigation will be provided to the Complainant and the Respondent and persons whose decisions or actions are the subject of the complaint. Particularly sensitive material may be available for inspection only in order to ensure no unauthorized distribution of copies. All material will be considered confidential and shared only with those with a need to know.
- Records of the Investigation, including copies of evidence and related communications, are confidential and shall be kept secure in the office of the Title IX Coordinator or a place directed by the Title IX Coordinator.
- The investigative team's report and any written comments received on the report will be submitted to the Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator may consult with Deans, VPs and other administrators in charge of the schools or units involved. After reviewing the report, the Title IX Coordinator may accept it as final or may return the report to the investigative team for further investigation or clarification.
- The Title IX Coordinator will mark the report "Confidential" and deliver it to the Complainant, Respondent and any University administrator in charge of the school or administrative unit of the Respondent and the Complainant (e.g., Dean/Vice President). This shall be done within 10 business days unless good cause can be shown for any delay.
- The University administrator(s) in charge of the school or administrative unit of the Respondent and of the Complainant (e.g., Dean/Vice President) cannot change the findings or conclusions but will make the final decision about sanctions and remedial action to be taken by the school or administrative unit, and implement the decision. The University administrator will inform the Title IX Coordinator of the outcome.
- The Title IX Coordinator will inform the Complainant and the Respondent of the University administrator(s)' decision and advise them of their appeal rights.
- The Complainant and the Respondent each may appeal for reconsideration of a University administrator's decision to which they are subject, on the basis of: 1) failure of due process, or 2) availability of new evidence which could not reasonably have been presented during the original investigation. The appeal for reconsideration must be submitted in writing to the University administrator (with notice to the Title IX Coordinator) within 7 calendar days following the date of the notice of the University administrator's decision.
- The University administrator in consultation with the Title IX Coordinator will consider the documents submitted on appeal and issue a final determination or other appropriate action regarding sanctions and remedial action within 10 business days.
- The Title IX Coordinator will ensure that the Complainant and Respondent have been informed of the University administrator's final decision about sanction and remediation.
- The Title IX Coordinator will maintain records regarding sexual harassment/sexual violence complaint investigations for at least three years.
- To ensure appropriate due process and prompt, equitable resolution of complaints, formal rules of evidence will not apply and the investigative team and Title IX Coordinator may limit repetitive and irrelevant evidence.
VI. Confidentiality
The University will take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of the parties involved in a complaint. Persons involved will be advised of the necessity of keeping information related to a complaint confidential. However, persons should be aware that the University may need to disclose information in order to conduct an investigation, resolve a complaint and comply with applicable law.
VII. No Retaliation
The University does not tolerate or condone any form of retaliation against a person whose complaint is made in good faith or against any person who participates in good faith in an inquiry or investigation of a complaint under this procedure.
VIII. Exceptions
This procedure does not supersede policies and procedures addressing issues specifically governed by other University policies, such as: school grade appeals and school dismissal appeals, disability and reasonable accommodation complaints. Students are expected to present such complaints in accordance with the applicable school and University policy and procedure.
IX. Complaints Involving Affiliates' Employees and Other Third Parties
Many University students will be supervised by employees of University affiliates and teaching sites during their educational experiences and may have interactions with other third parties while participating in a program at the University. If a student is aggrieved by sexual harassment/sexual violence behavior of a third party, the behavior may affect the student's equal opportunity in education at the University. Such complaints should be reported to the Title IX Coordinator as described in the policy. The University will attempt to resolve the situation and take reasonable steps to prevent harassment and violence that may be directed toward the complainant and others. The University will attempt to reassign the student to a different preceptor or teaching site if a prompt resolution of a complaint involving an affiliate is not feasible.
X. Filing Complaints with Outside Agencies
For further information on non-discrimination, or to file an equal opportunity complaint directly with the U.S. Department of Education, contact:
Office for Civil Rights
U.S. Department of Education
The Wanamaker Building, Suite 515
100 Penn Square East
Philadelphia, PA 19107
Phone: 1-800-421-3481
Email: email@example.com
XI. UMB Mandatory Reporting Requirements
If a UMB administrator, faculty or staff member receives an oral or written complaint of sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment/violence involving UMB faculty, staff, student or a UMB affiliate, that person has an affirmative responsibility to promptly inform the Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator will respond to the report in accordance to the guidelines and procedures as stated in this policy.
The Title IX Coordinator is responsible for ensuring that crimes reportable under the Clery Act (20 U.S.C. §1092(f)) are timely reported to the Campus Police. An optional form for making the report can be found at: http://www.umaryland.edu/police/files/CLERY-INCIDENT-REPORT.pdf.
Data collected for Clery Act reporting is to be used to increase public safety, not to identify the victim; therefore, personal identifying information is not required.
XII. Education and Consultations
Through the Title IX Coordinator, sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment/violence educational programs for students can be arranged.

Material Measure examines geographies real and imagined
There's this tendency for the inhabitants of cities, large or small, to get stuck in their own immediate geography. It's a practice of self-documentation and grounding, one that's intended to create a sense of self by defining a sense of place, but that can grow into something smaller. Natives can trace the lineage of a building — its past owners, inhabitants, and incidents — or the history of their neighborhood, and, in doing so, create their own histories and geographies.
Opening April 7 at the Institute Library, Material Measure: Use and Reinvention of Maps, curated by Fritz Horstman, eschews that which is small. It's an exploration of our aspirations, writ large across the walls. Featuring works by artists (many of them local) in a variety of media, Material Measure "bridges the factual knowledge we expect of maps, to the non-empirical knowledge of a place – the feeling of a particular place," Horstman says.
Such places can be real — as when Washington, D.C.-based artist Michael Iacavone traverses the borders of Brooklyn, from Vinegar Hill to Bushwick, in the giclee prints that comprise his "Brooklyn Border Project." But here, the prints suggest more than simple documentation; instead, the works point toward a narrative of gentrification and transition, examining chronological borders as much as geographic ones.
Leila Daw's "Ancient City in the Sky" is a series of c-prints that examine the "primary features" of Cahokia, America's lost city. The c-prints themselves are documentation of a project to create a "ghost-like map" that hovered over the actual site of Cahokia, in southern Illinois, in the late 1980s; they are, essentially, a map of a map of a place, our understanding of which has been constructed wholly from archaeological findings. These hang alongside Daw's other contribution to Material Measure, "Identity and Patriotism," layered graphite rubbings of 19th century abolitionist graffiti, engraved at an abandoned quarry. In both "Ancient City in the Sky" and "Identity and Patriotism," Daw's work gestures towards an understanding of our past; like Iacavone, Daw constructs a cartography of the chronological.
New Haven artist Gerald Saladyga's "Diptych: Marketing the Last Sub-Divisions" reimagines the landscape painting as a social statement. For Saladyga, "landscape means everything about the cosmos," and "Diptych" points to what is left of our own geography — and that which we artificially impose upon it. There's an almost strident angularity to Saladyga's work that suggests that the subject matter doesn't necessitate cartography, but an assessment of what man has created.
Other works by artists in the show are more subtle — Martha Lewis' "Membranes 1, 2, 3" construct a gentle topography from pigment marker and cotton paper; Larissa Nowicki's "Landscape 1" reinterpets Bartholomew's Road Atlas. And in the corner, gently positioned like a filament cobweb, Kevin Van Aelst has constructed a replica of New Haven's nine squares from fishing wire — so understated and throughtful in its presentation that the casual observer runs the danger of missing it, like so many other treasures in our own geography.
Material Measure: Use and Reinvention of Maps.
Works by Leila Daw, Billy Friebele, Mike Iacovone, Martha Lewis, Larissa Nowicki, Gerald Saladyga, Karin Schaefer, Kevin Van Aelst.
April 7 – May 5. The Institute Library, 847 Chapel St., New Haven. Wednesdays, 10:00 am – 6:00 pm; Saturdays, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm. Free. Greeting of the artists Saturday, April 7, 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm.

Dell's tablet personal computer is ready to hit the retail stores. Streak is seen as a mini-tablet or a large smartphone according to analysts. Dell first announced its Streak in January 2010, advertising the device as a convergence between a cell phone and traditional tablet computer. Here are highlights iPad's first big competition – Dell Streak.
Screen – Streak comes with a 5-inch WVGA multi-touch display, which is smaller than Apple iPad's 9.7-inch diagonal LED-backlit glossy widescreen multi-touch display.
Dimensions – iPad 9.56 inch height, 7.47 inch width and 0.53 inch depth & Dell streak -3.1 inch height, 6 inch width and 0.4 inch depth.
Operating System – Streak runs on Google's open source OS Android. The launch will be on Android version1.6, and is expected to get the latest Android 2.2 update when available. It has Qualcomm's ARM-based mobile processor -1GHz Snapdragon. iPad runs on Apple's iOS with it's own 1GHz A4 processor.
Memory – Streak comes with a 2GB of internal memory and the memory can be expanded upto 32GB with a MicroSD card. Apple iPad comes in 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB models and it can not be extended.
Camera – This is where the Streak beats iPad. The Tablet has a 5 Megapixel high-resolution camera with auto focus capabilities. It also has a front-facing camera and a dual LED flash. iPad has no camera.
Connectivity – Streak comes with built in Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth for connectivity. It supports Google Maps integrated with a turn-by-turn navigation, street and satellite views. Apple iPAD comes with Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and also a 3G model available.
Adobe Flash Support - Unlike Apple iPad, Dell Streak can run Adobe's popular Flash software. Sources say, Streak will support Flash 10.1 later on. Apple on the other hand has been criticising Adobe's Flash technology for security, technical drawbacks and power-management.
Applications -Thousands of Anroid based apps and other tools will be available on Streak. Apple's App Store has more than 250,000 apps available.
Price – Dell hasn't yet revealed the price of Streak. Analysts speculate that it will be cheaper than the iPad. Currently, iPad is priced at $499, $599 and $699 for the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB Wi-Fi versions respectively.

St. Paul teachers will vote on whether to strike on Monday, Feb. 24.
Union officials say they "did not see progress on priorities" during recent negotiations.
The two sides have struggled to agree on union proposals that involve capping class sizes and reducing time spent on standardized tests. The district says that if they met all of the union's demands it would cost $150 million over the two-year contract. They also say that if they dropped standardized testing they could risk losing $60 million in federal funding.
There are more than 3,000 teachers at St. Paul Public Schools. If the teachers strike, classes would be canceled because the district says they don't have the resources they would need to get substitutes in place.
Tonya Stewart Downey, representing St. Paul Public Schools, released the following statement:
"We were extremely disappointed to learn that the leadership of the teachers union has decided to schedule a vote on whether to strike. This is not the news we were hoping for. Despite today's decision we intend to continue negotiating with the teachers union with the intent of reaching an agreement. We look forward to the scheduled mediation sessions on Feb. 20 and March 6.
If the teachers do decide to strike it will impact the lives of tens of thousands of children, as well as their families, for an undetermined amount of time and in ways we can't even begin to quantify. Any day lost, particularly after we lost five full classroom days in January due to cold weather, could prove detrimental to many SPPS students.
While Saint Paul Public Schools believes a strike would be a poor choice for the education needs of St. Paul's children, the teachers union has the lawful right to strike. We respect that right, but strongly disagree that issues between SPPS and teachers union that should lead to a call for strike. Our goal has been and remains to work together with the Saint Paul Federation of Teachers to offer a premier education for all through the District's strategic plan, Strong Schools, Strong Communities. It is unfortunate that the leadership of the teachers union sees things differently.
Saint Paul Public Schools will continue to do its very best on behalf of the children who depend on us."
Negotiations began last May, and a mediator has been helping in the process. Teachers rallied outside each public school about two weeks ago to try to gain support.
The time and location of the vote on Feb. 24 have not yet been determined.

Good Omen?
Sunday, March 7, 2010
As one on-field Marlins official said, Ramirez has "acted like a baby" at times in the past and can be moody or stand-offish. Another Marlins person said Uggla's issues with Ramirez reflected sentiment among many players at the time. Even Marlins executive Andre Dawson said in September, "Hanley is going to have to really do what it takes to be a leader. He hasn't embraced that yet."
But Ramirez has changed for the better since that Uggla incident, teammates say. Ramirez took the negative perception of him to heart -- he said recently it's important to him to have teammates' respect and is trying to become a leader. "I am [the face of the franchise]," he said. "Everything I do, everybody is looking at me. It makes me do everything the right way."
Third baseman Wes Helms said recently, "I have told Hanley 100 times, 'You have to lead this team.'" Now, "he looks like a guy that wants to. I'm proud of him."

No more
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead?
Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Before you judge me, take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do?
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not who you are, it's who you know
Others' lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges and build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Who the hell are you?

Marcus Lattimore – South Carolina
Height: 5112
Weight: 221
Age when drafted: 21
Hometown: Duncan, SC
Position: RB
Collegiate Number: 21
Combine notables: DNP
Games Viewed: 2012 – Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Missouri, Georgia 2011 – Georgia 2010 – Alabama, Auburn
Marcus Lattimore attended Byrnes High School and was ranked as a five star recruit by all scouting services. He was one of the most highly decorated players in country and chose South Carolina over Auburn on national signing day.
Lattimore would make his presence felt from day one as a true freshman. He burst onto the national stage when he rushed for almost 1,200 yards, which included over 100 yards in three contests. Lattimore would continue his success through the first seven and a half games of his sophomore season before a knee injury ended his season prematurely. Lattimore finished with 818 yards on 163 carries as a sophomore.
Lattimore's junior season would be a season to prove he could play at 100% following a serious knee injury. As the season wore on, Lattimore progressed as he rushed for 662 yards through nine contests. Lattimore would be unable to complete his junior season following a devastating knee injury that would have some questioning whether he would play at all in 2013.
Lattimore's recovery has been newsworthy as he's believed to be on track with playing this coming season. A remarkable recovery given the seriousness of the injury. The only concerns with Lattimore is the durability question following two serious knee injuries that ended his seasons in consecutive seasons.
