Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I use the RunAs command to run a script under alternate user credentials?-- BE
Hey, BE. You know, in the business world one of the hot topics these days is synergy. For example, after The Mighty Ducks became a hit movie the Disney Company went out and bought themselves an NHL hockey team, renaming it the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Coincidence? No, synergy, defined as "…the phenomenon in which two or more discrete influences or agents acting together create an effect greater than the sum of the effects each is able to create independently." If there's something more exciting than two or more discrete influences or agents acting together to create an effect greater than the sum of the effects each is able to create independently, well, we'd like to see it.
Synergy is important in the scripting world as well. For example, today we published the answer to a scripting puzzle that dealt with the issue of trying to run scripts under alternate credentials. In our answer we discussed the problems involved in getting WMI to run under alternate credentials when the script needs to run against the local computer. Our suggestion: read today's Hey, Scripting Guy! column and learn how to run a script using the RunAs command.
Coincidence? No, laziness: we actually received this question several months ago, and we're only just now getting around to answering it. But chalking this up to synergy sounded much better than chalking it up to lethargy!
As we noted in the weekly puzzle, you can use code similar to this snippet to run a script under alternate user credentials, provided that the script is running against a remote computer:
strComputer = "atl-fs-01" strNamespace = "root\cimv2" strUser = "kenmyer" strPassword = "password" Set objWbemLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") Set objWMIService = objwbemLocator.ConnectServer _ (strComputer, strNamespace, strUser, strPassword)
Unfortunately, though, this script will fail if you try to run it against the local computer. That's because the ConnectServer method does not allow you to pass user credentials (like a user name and password) to the local machine. And, no, to be honest we're not sure why it won't let you pass user credentials to the local machine; it just won't.
Note. Think of ConnectServer as being like a three-year-old child. Nobody knows why three-year-olds will eat only boxed macaroni-and-cheese; they just won't eat anything else, period. And there's not much you can do about that except try to live with the situation, whether that means making boxed macaroni-and-cheese for dinner every night, or not passing user credentials any time ConnectServer runs against the local computer.
So is this really a problem? Well, it can be. After all, Microsoft recommends that - for security reasons - you never log on to a computer using an Administrator account. Instead, we suggest that you log on using a regular old user account, then use a utility such as RunAs any time you need to run a program as an Administrator. And so, seeing as how everyone always does whatever Microsoft tells you to do, you type the following command at the command prompt and try using the RunAs utility to run the script C:\Scripts\Test.vbs:
runas /profile /user:fabrikam\kenmyer "C:\Scripts\Test.vbs"
And here's what happens when you press ENTER:
Attempting to start C:\Scripts\Test.vbs as user "fabrikam\kenmyer" ... RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - C:\Scripts\Test.vbs 193: C:\Scripts\Test.vbs is not a valid Win32 application.
It's at this point that people typically do one of two things: either they give up, or they start debugging the script, trying to figure out why their code isn't valid. But here's the deal: the error message says nothing about the script or the script code being invalid, it simply states that Test.vbs is not a valid Win32 application. That's because RunAs is expecting to run an executable file. Test.vbs is obviously not an executable file, so the command fails. Most likely your code is just fine; the problem is that you're trying to run a script rather than a .exe file.
So if RunAs accepts only executable files then obviously we can't run a script using RunAs, right? Well, not necessarily. Although Test.vbs might not be an executable file, the two Windows script hosts - Cscript.exe and Wscript.exe - are executable files. The secret to running a script under RunAs is to call one of the two script hosts, passing along the name of the script as a command-line argument. For example, this RunAs command will fire up Cscript.exe and then run the script C:\Scripts\Test.vbs:
runas /profile /user:fabrikam\kenmyer "cscript.exe C:\Scripts\Test.vbs"
You can see how easy that is. You simply call the RunAs command along with the following parameters:
/profile, which causes the appropriate user profile to be loaded. This is optional, but makes it more likely RunAs will be able to do what it needs to do.
/user:fabrikam\kenmyer, which is the user account (in the form domain\user_name) under which the process is to run.
"cscript.exe C:\Scripts\Test\.vbs", which is the process you want RunAs to execute. Note that the entire command must be enclosed in double quote marks, and should be typed the same way you would type the command from the command prompt.
That, by the way, is the second problem people encounter when trying to run a script under RunAs. As long as your scripts are in the folder C:\Scripts you won't have any problems; that's because C:\Scripts has no spaces in the path name. But suppose your scripts are in C:\Documents and Settings\kenmyer\Scripts. If you were at the command prompt and you wanted to run a script in this folder you would need to surround the path in double quotes; that's because the path includes blank spaces. In other words:
cscript.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\kenmyer\Scripts\Test.vbs"
Logically enough, then, you might then expect the RunAs equivalent to look something like this:
runas /profile /user:fabrikam\kenmyer "cscript.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\kenmyer\Scripts\Test.vbs""
Unfortunately, that's not the case: the double quotes nested inside double quotes simply causes RunAs to give up and display the usage screen. Tossing double quotes inside double quotes won't work. Nor will it work to try double double quotes or triple double quotes or any other variation of quotes inside of quotes. Like a three-year-old child (or many thirty-three-year-old adults) RunAs wants things to be exactly right or it won't even try to help you.
Fortunately, it's fairly easy to make RunAs happy. All you need to do is use the \ character to "escape" any double quote marks that must to be embedded within the process path. This command will work:
runas /profile /user:fabrikam\kenmyer "cscript.exe \"C:\Documents and Settings\kenmyer\Scripts\test.vbs"\"
Notice how we put our path together. We start out with a double quote mark and then the name of the script host:
At this point we need to insert the path, which includes blank spaces (and thus needs to be surrounded by double quotes). To do that we simply put a \ immediately before the first double quote and another \ immediately after the second double quote:
"cscript.exe \"C:\Documents and Settings\kenmyer\Scripts\test.vbs"\
All we have to do then is tack on the ending double quote and we're done:
"cscript.exe \"C:\Documents and Settings\kenmyer\Scripts\test.vbs"\"
It's simple, but it works. Just remember to bracket long file paths and any other item requiring double quotes and you'll be home free.
So there you have it, BE: you can now use the RunAs command to run a script. As we noted earlier, you might want to check out the weekly puzzle for more information on running scripts under alternate credentials. And, in the spirit of synergy, stay tuned: it's just a matter of time before the Anaheim Mighty Scripters come to a hockey rink near you. (And, yes, this would be the time when the Scripting Guy who writes this column would usually note that hockey isn't even a real sport. But he's decided not to say anything controversial ever again, so you won't hear a word from him about that.)
I think the description you gave was for a 'synergism', rather than a 'synergy'. :)
Thanks a lot!!!!!
nice post, I'm facing the same problem but just a bit more evolved ^^
what happen if i want to pass named arguments to the script like
cscript.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\kenmyer\Scripts\test.vbs" /a:Charly /b:10.0.0.1
I'm struggling with it for a while now
You Rocks!
How to solve cscript.exe is not a valid win32 application ?
If a script is being run with RunAs, is there anyway to find the userid that executed the runas?
does not work for me, getting no output from local or remote machines on an input list that bombs once it goes to remote machines when done without this BS.
You should note that this will not work as a unattended script for 99% of all cases as the runas command does not support passwords - so you either must use an account that has no password or let it prompt you, which means it cannot be part of any automation.
Mark, excellent point. I was disappointed not to see this fact mentioned, until I read your comment. What a horrible oversight to be (inadvertently) omitted.
"You should note that this will not work as a unattended script ... as the runas command does not support passwords - so you either must use an account that has no password or let it prompt you, which means it cannot be part of any automation."
Thanks Scripting Guy!

Pilot develops the next phase of the Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record
The VA and DOD on March 8 announced that the second phase of the Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER) Health Communities Program will take place in the Hampton Roads and Tidewater areas of Virginia, according to a news release.
President Obama created the VLER program in April 2009 with the objective of creating a seamless lifetime electronic medical record for all service members that will cover them from active duty through retirement.
In November, the VA and Kaiser Permanente announced they were conducting a pilot program to exchange medical data for veterans in the San Diego region. The program has signed up about 450 veterans who volunteered to share their records.
In the coming months, the DOD is joining the VA-Kaiser program in San Diego and allowing its service members' digital medical records to be shared there as well as part of VLER Health Communities. The veterans and service members sign permissions allowing their records to be shared. The Hampton Roads pilot will be an expansion of the VLER portion of the San Diego project..
The San Diego and Hampton Roads demonstration projects both utilize the Health and Human Service Department's Nationwide Health Information Network to facilitate the secure exchange of the records. The network is a series of protocols and agreements that must be adhered to by all participants.
"Building upon VA's successful pilot project with our San Diego VA Medical Center and private sector partners provides us with another opportunity to further develop this technology and share information with our DoD partners safely, securely, and efficiently," VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said in the news release.
However, the VA and DOD recently experienced a breakdown in their core health data exchange program that links their electronic health record systems. It was not immediately known if the breakdown affected the VA-Kaiser project or the Hampton Roads pilot project.
The Web portal that allows for VA access to DOD patient medical information was shut down on March 1 due to a series of errors and gaps in the DOD patient data visible to the VA. A VA official said on March 8 that the problem has been addressed and the fix is almost complete. The portal should be reopened soon, the spokeswoman said.

Claire, Clive and their son made me feel very welcome - always happy to chat, but not overbearing. Lovely people, I'll definitely stay here again on future visits.
Very comfortable, spacious room, nice bathroom and a lovely kitchen/diner.
Claire and family made me very welcome, stay couldn't have been better. Thank you!
Claire was a lovely host and communicated well and responsively with me before my stay. The room was fine - very comfortable bed, blackout curtains - I slept well. Sharing a bathroom with the family was ok for a night, but did feel a bit like a kid again, back living with my parents and agreeing bathroom schedules in advance! I arrived a little late in the evening (9pm) and Claire was welcoming, showed me to my room, left me to unpack and make calls, then offered me refreshments when I came downstairs. A lovely family, fab location, very reasonable rate, highly recommended.
Excellent hosts, lovely family! Good value and the house is just outside Kendal, which has an easy access to Windermere (and the lake district from there) by road. The size of the room is very good and it was in a quiet area so you can have good sleep. Good choice of breakfast.
This was a great stay. Claire is a very open minded person and AMA (Ask Me Anything) about Cumbria and its outdoor activities / events. Room was spacious with a big bed. Definitely recommend staying with this family!
Good location, really comfortable room, very friendly hosts. Great stay.
Staying at Claire's house is just ideal!. We stayed there for the 1st May bank holiday for 3 days and had a wonderful time. They are such a lovely family that you feel very confortable and relax staying at their place. The room has got an amazing landscape, all green and nature, perfect to relax and feel on holiday. They even offer a very nice and big breakfast. We will definitely repeat. Thank you also for the hiking hints and maps. David&Lily
I used to windsurf, orienteer, hike, bike and sail. Haven't quite got back into any of these since 'Junior' came along! Life is full of new activities now, giving the little guy age appropriate adventures! This year WILL see us get onto the hills with him though and maybe even into a sail boat! We were skiing this winter in France and he loved it!
Life is not complete without real coffee, Earl Grey tea (at different times of the day!), meeting up with my girlfriends, libraries and my little boy!
This will be our first year as hosts, and we are also house swappers. So we are easy going, or so we think!

Dubai expat buys UK number plates in new business venture
A Scottish expat living in Dubai has bought 35 "Arab-related" UK number plates in the hope that he can sell them on to wealthy Middle Easterners living in high-end areas of London. Tom Milne, who runs an oil rig equipment supply company in the Emirate, explained that he noticed how much some of the plates were going for and decided there could be a chance to make some cash. He noted that one plate, ARA8S, went for US$400,000 so came up with the idea of buying in bulk and trying to offload them to wealthy Arabs, who he said were...

Almost 50 per cent of those surveyed admitted that their wages and savings were paid into accounts held in home country banks.

Dubai may reintroduce rent to own property scheme
Industry experts in Dubai are pushing for a re-run of the popular rent-to-own real estate scheme which allows expats to put rental charges towards purchasing their chosen home. Expatriate real estate purchases have declined recently, due to stringent regulations including a mortgage cap introduced by the government as a way to cool down the emirate's housing bubble. Reintroducing the rent-to-own plan with its similarities to an option contract is expected to return confidence to expat investors due to its try-before-you-buy nature....

The forests of this division consist of a wealth of deciduous species topping thorny undergrowth, typical of the Maidan tracks of Karnataka. Low, stunted, branchy, boles and diffused crowns contribute to make up an incoherent or patchy forest canopy. Xerophytes and thorny species make up the growing stock. Teak is found in patches. Tamarind occurs frequently inside the forests, and along the roads. Bamboos are rare. Devanarayanadurga State forest mainly consists of the dry deciduous type of vegetation along the slopes of the hills, while tropical thorn scrub forest is predominant on the top of the hill. The Ankasandra and marshettyhally State forest are poor and open due to severe exploitation in the past. The Huliyurdurga, Bargehally and Manchaladore State forests are of the scrub type.
These forests are subjected to illicit felling, fire and grazing. Tumkur district is known for large-scale sheep rearing. Excessive grazing has a severe impact in the forests of Bukkapatna and Manchaladore forests. Casuarina and Eucalyptus are affected by Dieback disease. The Loranthus parasite is commonly found to affect sandal, Hardwickia binnata etc. Also excessive grazing has exposed the soil cover, making the area more prone to soil erosion. Afforestation work is in progress since the last 20 years and about 20,000 ha of the degraded forest area was brought under the afforestation programme.
The protection cum afforestation working circle includes about 3415.15 ha of C and D class lands. The forests of this section are mostly degraded, eroded and rocky in nature.
About 13000 ha of successful fuelwood plantations were raised in the division over the years. It includes all the Eucalyptus , Acacia, and Casuarina plantations raised by the forest department. These species are raised as monoculture crops and sometimes they are raised as a mixture. A rotation period of 10 years is fixed for Acacia auriculiformis , Eucalyptus and Casuarina species. The forests of this division also produce a variety of products such as leaves, fruits and flowers adding revenue to the economy. Over 200 ha of Tamarind plantations were raised in Bukkapatna, Tumkur and Kunigal ranges by the forest department.
Uttara Kannada
The forests of the district are grouped into five divisions- Sirsi, Honnavar, Karwar, Yellapur and Haliyal. The forest types of this division are of the evergreen, semi-evergreen, moist deciduous and scrub type. The evergreen and semi-evergreen forests are found along the Western Ghats. A number of softwood species grow in these forests. The moist deciduous forests are rich in timber trees. These forests are also important for firewood. The scrub and thorny forests are subject to heavy pressure from firewood extraction and grazing. The increasing population has a direct bearing on the increased demand for agriculture lands and this way it has had an adverse effect on the forests. The description of the forests of the district is given division- wise below:
The forests of this division fall in Sirsi and Siddapur taluks with a small portioin in Mundgod taluk. Most of the home gardens of the North Karnataka are found in this tract. Southern moist type of forests is found in the eastern parts of Sirsi and Siddapur ranges and in the low lands of the northwest of Sirsi range. The terrain is mildly undulating. Some of the important species of this region are Xylia xylocarpa , Terminalia tomentosa , Dalbergia latifolia etc. Southern tropical semi-evergreen forests are seen in the western parts of Sirsi and Siddapur ranges. The forests also occupy steep slopes of Bedti, Sonda, Benne nala, Billi Nadi, Aghanashini, Mugti nala and Sharavathi. Terminalia paniculata and Langerstroemia lanceolata are commonly found in this tract. Canebrakes are found throughout the evergreen and semi-evergreen climaxes and also in the moist deciduous forests. The area under this forest cover is subjected to injuries by human beings (felling, encroachment), cattle grazing, natural agents like weeds, climbers insects etc. Number of trees/ha and the basal area of the different types of forests in Sirsi division are given in table 28 (NRSA/KFD, 1996).

According to the inventory analysis, the average tree density is 350 trees/ha with a maximum of 960 and a minimum of 10 trees /ha. To improve the forest stock, various afforestation programmes have come up in this division. Acacia auriculiformis plantations have been raised here since the 80's.These plantations are thinned at the 9 th year to meet the fuel wood requirements.
The forests of this division lie in the taluks of Bhatkal, Honnavar, Kumta and parts of Ankola. Forest (classified and unclassified) is the major land cover of the area, covering 68%. Compared to classified forest area, the area covered by the unclassified forest is negligible. Evergreen, semi evergreen forests cover the eastern, north eastern and southern portion of the division. Forest plantations and scrubs cover the western part of the division. Moist deciduous forests with pockets of dry deciduous forests cover the northwestern part of the division. The type of forests from Bhatkal Taluk ranges from laterite thorn to laterite evergreen. Forests occupying the coastal strip are all denuded and in many places have been afforested with Acacia auriculiformis . In the Kumta taluk the forest type changes from laterite scrub to moist deciduous and evergreen as one advances from west to east. Pockets of bamboo-dominated forests occur in the Aghanashini valley.
The major species encountered in this division are Tectona grandis , Terminalia alata , Terminalia paniculata , Vitex altissima , Schleichera oleosa , Holigarna caustica , Mangifera indica , Pterospermum heyneanum , Syzygium montanum , Diospyros microphylla , Zingiber casumunar and Acacia auriculiformis . Shrubs are frequent in these forests. Eugenia macrosepala, Dichapetalum geloniodes, Ixora nigricans, memecylon terminale and Rauvolfia serpentina are some of the shrub species of this region. The statistics for different forests cover are given in table 29.

Most of the forests of this division lie in the taluks of Supa and Karwar, while a portion lies in Ankola taluk. Evergreen forests are noticeable in the interior high forest blocks of the region. They also appear in patches in the lower reaches of the valley. Canebrakes are found in these forests. Semi-evergreen forests are found throughout the divisions barring a few places. These forests are rich in Terminalia paniculata , Lagerstroemia lanceolata , Terminalia bellarica and Dillenia pentagyna . Laterite thorn forests are found in the minor forest areas of the division in the coastal belt. Acacia sundra, Buchanania latifolia, Strychnos nux vomica, Careya arborea etc are some of its constituent species. Laterite semi-evergreen forests are found in small patches within the semi-evergreen forest type. The laterite thorn forests are subjected to heavy lopping and have almost lost their regenerative capacity. Excising the privileges beyond sustainable limits by the villagers has resulted in their serious degradation. The division has pure plantations of Tectona grandis, Acacia auriculiformis, Anacardium occidentale, and Casuarina equisetifolia. Acacia is raised in the coastal regions. Mixed plantations are also raised.
The forests of Haliyal division spread over Haliyal taluk. Evergreen, semi-evergreen, moist and dry deciduous vegetation exists in this area. Observations based on a study (NRSA, KFD-1996) of 103 randomly selected plots reveals an average tree density of 376 trees per hectare of the forest division, with a maximum of 1240 and a minimum of 10 trees per hectare. The average basal area estimated was 20.79 m 2 /ha.

In "Jeffrey Hatcher's Hamlet"— which he presented last week in Fridley — Hatcher looks humorously and warmly at a staging that hooked him on theater.
Jeffrey Hatcher puts on a humorous one-man performance of Hamlet.
Fifth-grader Jeffrey Hatcher had just seen the film version of "Hamlet" starring Laurence Olivier when he suggested that his class tackle the play.
In previous years, fifth-graders at Stark Elementary in Steubenville, a small steel town in Ohio, had staged plays like "Which Witch is Which" and "The Too Friendly Donkey."
This time, his teacher, Mrs. K. Smith (not to be confused with Mrs. M. Smith) agreed to let the class take on the Shakespearean tragedy — on the condition that the 11-year-old direct it. Not only did Hatcher direct, but he also adapted the script and acted in the production.
That first taste of theater hooked him. In fact, it was so memorable that Hatcher, a playwright and screenwriter, has created a one-man show that reflects on the experience, titled "Jeffrey Hatcher's Hamlet."
Last week, he performed a staged reading at the Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts in Fridley. On July 14, he'll perform at the Chaska Community Center Theater.
Hatcher, who has worked on numerous local and national-theater productions, Broadway and off-Broadway shows, and TV shows like "Columbo," is still refining the play. It was specially commissioned to mark the 40th anniversary of Illusion Theater in downtown Minneapolis, and the play is part of its upcoming season.
As a part of the comical yet poignant 70-minute show, Hatcher tries to bring the audience into his creative process. For example, at Banfill-Locke, he told the 10-person crowd about various script changes he's contemplating. Hatcher also asked them about their earliest theater memories.
Dressed in all black, Hatcher positioned himself under a handful of track lights. There was no stage; props were minimal. A table, a desk, a few books and a couple of chairs set the scene. He also incorporated a few sentimental objects, such as a skull ashtray that once belonged to his dad, which he used in the original production.
He clutched his script, looking down at it every so often, as if the lines weren't totally "burned into my brain," he said.
"Jeffrey Hatcher's Hamlet" isn't an adaptation of "Hamlet." It's rooted in that fifth-grade production in Steubenville, with Hatcher looking at what happened behind the scenes and the life lessons he picked up along the way.
Among the things the Banfill-Locke audience learned:
Initially, Hatcher worried not enough actors would show up to his fifth-grade casting call. He'd heard "back-channel whispers" of a coup. He believed that a kid named Chucky, his sort-of rival, was practicing an alternate play that would swoop in "when my 'Hamlet' crashes and burns," Hatcher said. He talked to his dad about it. "I sighed, to show him that I had the weight of the world on my small, albeit fat shoulders."
Hatcher had hoped to portray Hamlet, but everyone seemed to think that Bruce, who had blond hair and blue eyes, was the obvious choice. So, reluctantly, Hatcher the director bypassed Hatcher the actor and gave the role to Bruce. Hatcher cast himself as both Laertes and King Hamlet's ghost.
Director Hatcher had to solve unforeseen problems, at least one of his own making. He tried to impress the girl playing Ophelia, giving her cattails from his mom's garden. She had an allergic reaction and lost her voice, so another girl read the lines while Ophelia mouthed the words.
An inspiring product
On opening night, Hatcher watched everything come together in the back of the classroom. It was crammed with parents, friends, school officials and others.
The experience was so enthralling that he missed an entrance, when he was to deliver the line "do not forget." As he recalled in his show, "I forgot to say, 'do not forget.' "
Still, the production went so well that the young actors got a standing ovation — and Chucky, the suspected subversive, was the first person to stand up. The class did a second performance, and the principal asked for a holiday show (they did "A Christmas Carol").

When a Celebrity Has Breast Cancer
by Erica Mayer, MD, MPH In 1974, when First Lady Betty Ford announced that she had undergone a mastectomy for breast cancer, it was a turning point in people's willingness to talk about the disease. Prior to that, discussing cancer of any type, even with one's family or friends, was often taboo. The First Lady's openness about her cancer helped create a space in which women felt more comfortable talking about their experience – and about being screened for the disease.

Billy "Bulldog" Fowler, member of the La Salle Parish School Board.
La Salle Parish School Board member Billy "Bulldog" Fowler reveals the school district conducted an internal investigation about the Jena Six, but the school board was not allowed to review it before they voted to uphold the expulsion of the six. The school board's lawyer was none other than the prosecuting district attorney, Reed Walters. Asked if he felt that Walters had a conflict of interest that night, Fowler replied, "Well, I'm assuming that Mr. Walters knows the law." [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Jena, Louisiana. A year ago, not many people outside Louisiana had heard of this small town, about three-and-a-half hours north of New Orleans. But a series of incidents over the past year has shot Jena to notoriety. It's now being equated with the kind of racism many hoped was a thing of the past.
It all began at the start of the school year 2006 at a school assembly, when a student, Justin Purvis, asked if he could sit under the schoolyard tree, a privilege unofficially reserved for white students. The next morning, three nooses were hanging from its broad leafy branches. African-American students protested, gathering under the tree. Soon after, the district attorney, Reed Walters, came to the school with police, threatening, "I could end your lives with the stroke of a pen," he said. Racial tensions mounted in this 85 percent white town of 4,000.
In December, a schoolyard fight erupted, and the district attorney charged six African-American high school students, soon to be called the Jena Six, with second-degree attempted murder. They faced a hundred years in prison each. They were immediately expelled from Jena High School.
Well, I recently visited Billy "Bulldog" Fowler in his office in Jena. He's a white member of the La Salle Parish School Board. He explained what happened when the African-American students appealed their expulsion.
BILLY FOWLER: The first meeting that I, as a school board member, sat in on was the appeal hearing of the Jena Six. We were listening — or we were told at this meeting that we couldn't ask any probing questions about what had happened, because the charges had been filed, and it would violate some legal matter somehow. I'm not sure. And all we could do was ask the boys, "Were your rights violated in any manner?" And all we could do was vote on what we were told. And at that point, we didn't know a whole lot, so we voted to uphold what they had done prior.
AMY GOODMAN: And that was that they should be expelled?
BILLY FOWLER: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: And you didn't talk to the boys?
BILLY FOWLER: No. Well, we couldn't ask them anything.
AMY GOODMAN: Because?
BILLY FOWLER: Because we were told that it would violate the law.
DAVID GOODMAN: By the district attorney?
BILLY FOWLER: Right.
DAVID GOODMAN: And the district attorney was acting in what capacity at that meeting?
BILLY FOWLER: He was acting as the lawyer for the school board.
RICK ROWLEY: Wait, I don't think we got that on camera. So who was presiding over the meeting? That first meeting you had, who was presiding over it?
BILLY FOWLER: Well, the president of the school board presided over the meeting, but our legal authority that night was Mr. Walters.
AMY GOODMAN: And he told you you couldn't have access to the school —
BILLY FOWLER: That's right.
AMY GOODMAN: — proceedings?
BILLY FOWLER: That's right.
AMY GOODMAN: Or the investigation?
BILLY FOWLER: Right. It was a violation of something. I don't remember what he said, because at that time we were just in awe, six of us brand new on a 10-man board, and this is not how we wanted our first meeting to go, by any means.
AMY GOODMAN: Did you remember what the vote was?
BILLY FOWLER: It was unanimous. No, no, it wasn't. There was one board member who voted no. That was Mr. Worthington.
DAVID GOODMAN: As you look at that board meeting and the situation that you had there, do you see any problems or conflicts in the roles that Mr. Walters was playing?
BILLY FOWLER: Well, I'm assuming that Mr. Walters knows the law.

Isn't it time to put Tom Brady in the MVP discussion? At least one analyst thinks so. - 0 Comments
A few weeks ago, it was tough to find Tom Brady among the leading candidates in the discussion for league MVP. Maybe now, with his team at 8-3, and his stats continuing to soar, he'll be considered among the contenders. Maybe now he's officially entered the race.
It's hard to argue with his numbers. His 24 touchdown passes with just 3 interceptions are phenomenal. At age 35, he's having one of his best seasons statistically to this point. His passer rating of 105.0 is currently third best behind Aaron Rodgers (107.3) and Peyton Manning (106.2).

One of the appeals of tablet computers is that they're "good to go" – you can just grab them and use them wherever you want. The fact that they're not particularly real-world-proof, however, takes away from that a little. The same thing could be said about smartphones, which is why so many people now keep their phones in rugged, waterproof cases. Well, Lifeproof's just-launched nüüd case is like one of those smartphone cases, but for the iPad. It's not the only such product to ever exist, but it is able to do the job without anything covering the tablet's screen. Read More

Until now, though, we hadn't seen a waterproof Bluetooth speaker (as opposed to water-resistant, like the iShower) like ECOXGEAR's new ECOXBT. It allows you to listen to your favorite songs in the water while your cell phone or Bluetooth compatible MP3 player remains safely on dry land. Read More

Gloucester Township, Camden County, NJ January 16,2015
A proposal to build a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center with a "sober living" rental development was brought before the Gloucester Township Zoning Board this week.
The basic concept is to have a facility that helps those with substance and alcohol issues and also provide a place for them to reside at the same complex for a "sober living" community.
The location however, may be one that raises a few eyebrows. The 14 acre, planned location is located directly across the street from Camden County College on Peter Cheeseman Rd, sight of the former CYO complex.
Many were in attendance at the Zoning Board meeting, and some raised concerns over that location. In discussions within the council room, it was also the opinion of others that the Lakeland section of Gloucester Township would be a more suitable location for such a planned project.
The Zoning Board meeting was cut off shortly after 11 pm on Wednesday night, before the public had an opportunity to weigh in on the proposal. The meeting is slated to continue on Wednesday February 11th, where the public portion is "expected". The Zoning Board meetings are held in the Municipal council room on Chews Landing Rd, at 7:30pm.
Some amateur video from the first portion of that Zoning Board meeting is available at:
