HP 2515 - software stopped working
I have a HP Deskjet Advantage 2515 All-in-One printer which works just fine.
I installed the driver/software which came on the CD. Then I kept all these programs duly updated.
Now, for some reason, the program "HP Deskjet 2510 series" has stopped working.
When I click on the icon on my desktop, nothing happens.
This was a very useful program and I sorely miss it, especially to clean the printing heads.
Why has it stopped working? I know that the program is in the appropriate directory. I tried to remove it and install it again, but to no avail.
The target is: "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Deskjet 2510 series\Bin\HP Deskjet 2510 series.exe" -Start UDCDevicePage
Starts in: "C:\Program Files\HP\HP Deskjet 2510 series\Bin\"
With my anticipated thanks,
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Hello everybody and especially MissTeriLynn!
Well, I'm glad to be able to report that I managed to solve the problem. This is what I did:
As you know, I was unable to remove the corrupted HP software program because I was missing the DIFxAPI.dll file.
And I couldn't reinstall the new HP software because it thought that it was already present on my PC! A real chicken and egg situation.
As I also wrote, the DIFxAPI.dll file was indeed present on my PC: once in Windows/System32/ and once more in Windows/SysWOW64/ But, obviously, it was needed to be present somewhere else for the uninstalling program to work properly. But where?
So I went to Windows/SysWOW64/ and I copied the DIFxAPI.dll file. I then pasted it in every HP and Hewlett-Packard directory and sub-directory that I could find on my PC, mainly in the program files(x86) main directory.
I then tried to uninstall the software program and it worked! The uninstalling program thus needed the DIFxAPI.dll file to be present in the HP directory.
I then ran the latest version (4.4 - out a few days ago) of HP Scan and Print Doctor. It correctly identified my printer and also the fact that no software was installed. It then downloaded the latest package and installed it. Problem finally solved.
Once again, many thanks for your patience and for your input.
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Hi Darloup,
Welcome to the HP forums!
I'm sorry to hear that your HP Printer Assistant associated with your Deskjet 2515 has stopped working properly, but I will certainly do my best to lend a hand once I've asked a few questions
1. Which version of Windows are you working with?
2. Is the printer connected via USB or wireless?
3. Were there any updates to your computer recently? New programs, Windows updates, programs removed?
4. Are you still able to print from the PC?
In the meantime, while I await your reply, could you please download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and follow any suggestion it has to offer? Please and thank you
Hope to hear back from you soon!

Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Hello MissTeriLynn and many thanks for your fast reply.
In answer to your questions:
1) I use Windows 7 64-bit
2) It's a USB connection
3) The usual regular automatic Windows updates in the background
4) Yes, I can print
What I did waiting for your reply is uninstall all HP programs for my printer. There I ran CCleaner to remover obsolete registry keys.
Then I downloaded and ran the latest package fom HP site. It's file: DJ2510_1313.exe
Still no scan function.
Then I downloaded and ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor. That's file hppsdr.exe
The program told me that my printer and my scanner are working OK and that no problems were found.
But it told me it couldn't use the scan function because the HP scan program was not installed!
This is really weird since I had just installed the DJ2510_1313.exe a few minutes earlier!
I just changed my cartridge and the printing heads needs to be realigned. It printed me a sheet which I have to scan to finish the alignment process. But then, of course, I can't scan this sheet and the printing is really horrible.
Why can't I get the scan HP program to be installed???
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Hi Darloup,
Thank you for replying with that information!
I just want to say first, you can still scan the alignment sheet, as that doesn't have anything to do with the computer the printer will still be able to scan it and complete the alignment even with the scanning not working on the computer.
For the software, that is quite odd that the Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) doesn't see a problem but tells you the software isn't all there. I'd like you to try uninstalling and reinstalling the software through the PSDR as I've seen positive results for others in doing it that way. When you get to the final screen after Fix Printing or Fix Scanning you should see the screen shot below and be able to uninstall/reinstall.
Let me know how that goes for you!

Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Hello MissTerilLynn and, once again, many thanks for your fast reply.
Before proceeding, kindly note the following:
1) English is the language I use to communicate
2) My laptop was purchased in France and has a Windows 7 OS in French
3) I currently live in Colombia where I purchased my HP printer - the drivers are only available on the HP Colombian site as this printer is only for sale in Latin America.
I'll thus be switching between 3 languages. Sorry if some of the error messages are "approximate" - I'm translating them as they appear on my screen.
I just want to say first, you can still scan the alignment sheet, as that doesn't have anything to do with the computer the printer will still be able to scan it and complete the alignment even with the scanning not working on the computer.
That was good to know - thanks! I have always chosen HP for the quality of its printing. It know it's more expensive than other makes, but you simply can't beat/equal the HP quality of print, mainly because the printing heads are on each cartridge. You replace a HP cartridge and you get a new printing head - neat!
For the software, that is quite odd that the Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) doesn't see a problem but tells you the software isn't all there.
Yes, I know, it's very weird...
I'd like you to try uninstalling and reinstalling the software through the PSDR as I've seen positive results for others in doing it that way
Fair enough, I'm going to do this right now...
OK, ran HP Print and Scan Doctor 4.3 (for some reason, it was in French).
The printer was found.
I clicked on "Fix scanning"...
There is no problem with your hardware...
Scanning right now (twice)
HP Twain windows pops up
Ready to scan...
Error HP scanning
This tool could not find the HP scanning program on your PC. Please install the latest version of the HP scanning program.
Alternatively, you could use the scan function using the Microsoft "Paint" program...
As per your advice, I thus chose the option "Uninstall and Install with the latest software".
I got an error message:
"The HP uninstall program cannot be found on your PC. Please uninstall the program using the Windows option "Add/Suppress programs" in the Windows Panel Control".
What should I do next?
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Whilst waiting for a reply here, I experimented a little and I think that I have identified the problem (but, sadly, not the solution).
I think the HP software (including the scanning software) is NOT installed because the installing program thinks that it is alreading installed.
Indeed, I discovered a program called "Logiciel de base du périphérique HP Deskjet 2510 series". In English, it translates as: "Basic softaware program for the HP hardware Dekjet 2510 series".
It's a 111MB program, installed on May 5th 2014 whose version is 28.0.1313.0.
I tried to remove this program using the WIndows "Install/Remove programs" option (from the Control Panel). Everything starts OK but, after a minute, I get the following error message:
InstallCustomActions: DIFxAPI.dll is NOT installed
Then the uninstalling process stops.
Any idea on how I can solve this problem?
Anticipated thanks,
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Any ideas? I really need to get my scanner back!
Two more things that may help:
1) The DIFxAPI.dll file is indeed present on my PC: once in Windows/System32/ and once more in Windows/SysWOW64/
But, obviously, it also needs to be somewhere else for the uninstalling program to work. But where?
2) Whenever I switch on my printer, Windows is looking for a printer driver on my PC. It can't find one and has to download it each and every time from Windows Update.
I think this shows that, basically, nothing has been installed on my PC because the installing program thinks that the pilots are already present.
Best regards,
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Hello again,
Just to make sure again, I downloaded the DJ2510_Basicx64_1313.exe file. This file contains the basic HP drivers for my printer/scanner.
As soon as I am ready to install the driver, I click on "install" and, a nanosecond later, I receive an "Installation completed" message. In other words, nothing was installed.
This is as I thought: somehow, the HP installation package thinks that the drivers are already installed. Which they're not.
Best Regards,
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Is MissTeriLynn on holidays? Is there someone else from HP who can assist me? I really need to get back my scanner!
With my anticipated thanks,
Re: HP 2515 - software stopped working
Hi Darloup,
I just wanted to start off by saying I'm so sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. In your post on the 13th you had mentioned that the DIFxAPI.dll is not installed on the computer. In beginning my research on that file, I found that it is a core Windows file and with that knowledge I wanted to be absolutely certain I had good information before I replied to you. I should have sent you update though, so again, my apologies!
In my research, the most comprehensive document in relation to that DIFxAPI.dll file missing was this How To Fix Difxapi.dll Not Found or Missing Errors document. There are quite a few intense steps in that document, so if you're not comfortable attempting those steps, I will suggest that you look into getting a computer repair person's assistance.
Again, I do want to apologize for the delay, but I hope a browse through that document will show that this error required the extra bit of time!

|Overnight update
|10 Aug 09:32
Last night London did not see the levels of disorder we saw the previous night. Large numbers of officers on the streets prevented incidents occurring.
The MPS has had the largest policing operation since the start of the disorder. Mutual aid was received from 26 forces across the country. 16,000 officers were deployed over the last 24hrs.
We will continue with similar numbers of officers on the streets of London tonight. This will be reviewed on a daily basis.
The Metropolitan Police Service has now arrested a total of 770 people in connection with violence, disorder and looting. So far 171 people have been charged for a range of offences and we have already started to place people before the courts. 109 prisoners will have been processed through courts overnight. 40 of these have been remanded in custody to appear at Crown Court. 25 of the 109 were juveniles aged 11-15yrs.
The MPS released 20 CCTV images of wanted people. Following this appeal we have already begun to identify the individuals.
A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of starting the large fire at a furniture store in Croydon. The family-run House of Reeves business was burnt down on Monday evening.
Those involved in criminality should be under no illusion that we will pursue you. We have been making arrests all evening and have a team working during the night examining CCTV images. We will follow up evidence in the coming days in order to bring anyone else responsible for criminal acts to justice.
Officers and staff continue to work long hours at short notice in very challenging circumstances.
We continue to have the plans and resources in place to respond to any further disorder, deal with normal policing across the city and keep Londoners safe.
At 1500 hours today, Commander Rodhouse will be chairing a meeting hosted by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. The purpose of the meeting is to expand on discussions from a previous meeting with business leaders, as well as seeking feedback on the measures that have been implemented so far. In attendance will be senior representatives from business groups including the Business Retail Consortium, Association of British Insurers, CBI and British Chamber of Commerce, along with Mark Prisk MP, Minster of State for Business and Enterprise, and representatives from London Councils, the Greater London Authority and the Metropolitan Police Authority.

Yes - and I don't even mean that it has to be a skyhook or some sort of top-down process. It just feels that in going from point A (information) to point B ("what it's like" to experience that information) some entirely new element should enter the picture. Some as of yet undiscovered force or unheard of algorithm for structuring that information. It may well be, however, that consciousness in construed entirely of elements and processes we're already aware of, and simply emerges at a much higher level of complexity than is seen in unconscious machinery.
Yes - the entirely new element & force & algorithm is the emerging mind/body itself! This is what the argument of emergence in vast systems is all about. New 'elements' arise that can be best understood in their own light rather than in terms of their underlying constituents. The semantics arise in the emerged elements themselves! This is what the Life Game demonstrated in a limited and perhaps intellectually clumsy way. Unfortunately Dennett's comments on the game were not as clear as they could have been (e.g. there was little mention of the role of the programmer in the synthetic 'emergent' phenomenon), but they are still worth reading. So the Life Game has a kind of axiomatic basis in the programmer that doesn't really get away from Godel limitations. But this is not the case when we look at Reg Cahill's paper (link provided in other thread).

NORFOLK-- The eagle nests at Norfolk Botanical Garden were removed Thursday morning.
Federal, state and local wildlife officials said one complete nest and a partial nest had to be taken down because of the danger to wildlife and aircraft coming and going from nearby Norfolk International Airport.
The FAA cited concerns about four bald eagles being struck by aircraft in the last 10 years. The USDA identified bald eagles as 'an extremely high' hazard risk to aircraft.
The city applied for state and federal permits to remove the nests before nesting season begins in the next few months. The permits came in this week.
A post on the City of Norfolk Facebook page said 'While we all have enjoyed the eagle's at Norfolk Botanical Garden, encouraging them to find a new home ultimately ensures the safety of the public, property and the eagles.'
The removal didn't take long - perhaps 5 minutes - because the nests weren't as intricately-built as they expected. The branches were put into a chipper and ground up.
City officials said Norfolk Botanical Garden, Norfolk International Airport and the city agreed to support the recommendation of the USDA Wildlife Services to remove the nests following months of discussion and study of the USDA's Wildlife Hazard Assessment and Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries reports on the status and population of eagles in Virginia.
City spokeswoman Lori Crouch said there wasn't a way to keep the nests up.
'The nest is so close to that runway that there wasn't another option, really, for the interest of public safety and for the interest of these birds,' she said.
Norfolk Botanical Garden Executive Director Donald R. Buma said the USDA will be monitoring eagle activity and if they start building nests, harassment techniques will be used to chase them off.

By Kerry B. Hall, Government Contractor industry practice leader, and Ricky White, Audit Services senior manager
A growing number of companies across several industries are recognizing the many advantages to providing products and services to the federal government. With a staggering budget, the federal government has substantial needs for products and services, and outsources an expanding number each year. Moreover, its budgets tend to increase annually, and the government is a reliable and credit-worthy customer — a rare and valuable commodity in an uncertain economy.
Of course, there are always downsides: in this case, the many rules, regulations and nuances of working with the federal government and the challenges of dealing with a sluggish bureaucracy. However, if companies know what to expect, they can anticipate and manage these potential drawbacks to ensure they don't detract from the benefits of being a government contractor.
What follows are some important considerations and need-to-know information for technology companies that are thinking about pursuing government contracts.
While there are a number of benefits to government contracting, it's important to understand the inherent risks before entering into a contract. First, government procurement regulations often require a rigorous competitive process before contracts are awarded, and selection criteria typically favor price over experience. Contrary to the commercial sector, outstanding prior performance may not be enough to secure future government contracts.
Second, government contract terms and conditions impose unique compliance burdens on practically all aspects of the company's business, so it's critical that the company fully understand these terms and conditions before accepting a contract. Third, ongoing programs may be curtailed with short notice because of changing budget priorities or a new administration. However, the regulations provide for generous settlements to any company whose contract is terminated for convenience.
Finally, there are the inevitable audit risks. Costs that have been accepted routinely for years can be challenged by government auditors with potentially severe consequences for the financial health of the business. In such cases, the company must be well-versed in procurement regulations to protect itself from arbitrary or incorrect interpretations of these regulations by the government.
Government contracts usually require a company to implement business processes and to comply with contract terms, conditions and procurement regulations that differ greatly from those of commercial contracts. These unique obligations are embodied in a federal statute, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and agency-specific FAR supplements. FAR regulations include specific requirements for each phase of contracting, including communications with the government, ethics, pricing, negotiations, accounting, and contract administration and performance.
For example, depending on the type of award, companies need to submit different documentation in their proposals. For contracts that are competitively bid, the documentation is less rigorous than sole-source bids. For a sole-source bid, companies often must provide very detailed cost breakdowns of the proposed price and must certify that the data provided is current, complete and accurate as of the date of the agreement.
The degree to which companies are subject to various portions of FAR depends on the size and length of the contract and other factors, but understanding their obligations under FAR is essential. Failure to comply can result in a variety of consequences, ranging from financial loss, termination of the contract, investigations and allegations of overcharging, to ultimate suspension or debarment from future government contracts.
There are three main types of contracts awarded by the government: cost-reimbursable, labor hour and firm-fixed-price contracts. With cost-reimbursable contracts, the government reimburses actual allowable costs plus a negotiated profit. Labor hour or time-and-material contracts include a negotiated billing rate, which covers labor costs as well as indirect costs and profit, so a profit is virtually guaranteed. Firm-fixed-price contracts carry more risk for the contractor and put a premium on managing the contract and budget. With the risk, however, comes the opportunity for a higher profit if the contract and budget are managed properly. Keep in mind that while a profit is likely with government contracts, it is generally modest, typically ranging from 1 to 10 percent of contract costs.
Government contractors' records are subject to audit at any time, and audits are likely to increase in frequency as American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds are awarded. ARRA sets aside substantial funds for hiring more auditors to increase oversight of companies receiving stimulus funds. Audits can pose an administrative burden in dealing with auditors and responding to requests, however, maintaining staff to administer the contract and handle audits is a recoverable cost under certain government contracts.
Currently, the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) is the largest contract audit resource within the federal government, employing more than 3,000 auditors across nearly 300 offices throughout the U.S. and overseas. Although the DCAA is part of the Department of Defense, it frequently performs contract audits for other government agencies.
Most government contractors are required to be compliant with a code of conduct and business ethics. New compliance regulations require written policies and procedures, as well as formal training for all personnel involved in the performance of the government contract. In addition, the contractor must perform periodic internal or external reviews to make sure these policies and procedures are being followed.
There are certain costs that are allowable under FAR and others that are prohibited. Costs such as penalties, interest on debt, lobbying, entertainment and bad debt expenses are among the items that are not allowable charges against government contracts. There also are limitations on certain costs, such as executive compensation. For instance, if a company is paying its CEO $1 million per year, only a set amount would be recoverable from the federal government. During DCAA audits, executive compensation is challenged by auditors more often than any other cost.
Companies need to maintain cost accounting records that have the capability to track and allocate costs to the projects they are working on. The cost accounting system also must define direct and indirect costs, provide for the exclusion of unallowable costs, and have a rational basis for allocating indirect costs to projects. Because the cost accounting requirements for government and commercial projects are so different, government regulations permit the use of memorandum records for government contract cost accounting. Commercial companies often want to pursue government contracts without any disruption to the business systems and corporate culture already in place, which may be possible with the appropriate guidance and consultation.
Before companies are ready to bid on contracts, they must first familiarize themselves with the regulations and learn how to satisfy the requirements of government contracts. Then, they need to take the time to understand the government's spending priorities and begin to direct their marketing efforts appropriately. Companies can subscribe to information database services that track trends in government spending and monitor which contracts are scheduled to be out for bid in the coming months. This can be helpful to companies that are new to the government contracting space, as well as those that already are well-established and providing services to the federal government.
Working for the federal government as a contractor offers numerous benefits, particularly in a challenging economy. Yet being successful is predicated on satisfying not just the end customer, but also regulators and auditors. To do so requires the ability to effectively navigate and comply with the government's many contractual terms and requirements.

Sometimes I think I am living in the wrong département of France. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be able to walk out my door and get a baguette Parisienne or a sachet of les macarons, libremente (freely). But Breton food is all the flavors I crave: buckwheat, honey, sardines, oysters, fleur de sel, seaweed, and sparkling apple cider. Oh yes, and butter.
The popular Breizh Café in Paris has expanded into the space next door, creating an épicerie, featuring the best products from Brittany.

Last week, we told you about our massive dog fighting bust that spanned multiple states and resulted in the removal of 367 dogs and puppies. We gave you an inside look with our on-the-scene video, and now we have a first-person account from the rescue. Below is a guest blog by Tim Rickey, Vice President of the ASPCA's Field Investigations & Response Team, reflecting on what he found during the raid and the terrible fate of dog fighting victims.
When I first walked on the property, I stared across the yard and saw more than 100 dogs, most of them tied to heavy log chains, anchored to dilapidated dog houses. The dogs ranged from old to young, living on a worn dirt ring that likely had seen generations of dogs come and go to a sad fate.
Most were chained nose-to-nose to their neighbors to ensure continuous arousal.
I first thought of what a grim fate many of these dogs would have met without our intervention that day. But as I looked at a young, weeks-old puppy with one glance, and an aging, 10-year-old senior with another, my thoughts quickly turned to the long, lonely and painful journey of a fighting dog's life.
This cycle begins with being chained at such an early age with little to no positive human or animal interaction. The burden continues with heavy chains, often with additional weights, to drag around their entire lives. The constant noise, arousal and anxiousness push them towards aggression to or from their yard mates. If they don't respond, their life may end quickly, but if they do, they have sealed their fate of a long, torturous life.
Their only reprieve from the chain is death or brief release to be tested against another dog, eventually going back to the chain with little attention to their wounds. What follows is weeks of intense training and significant human interaction with the person who will commit the ultimate betrayal and force them into a barbaric battle for entertainment and profit. If they survive, they go back again to the chain: A vicious cycle that could go on for years until these dogs finally have no value or fight left in them and are discarded.
Our responders are still on the ground, so please stay tuned to aspcarescue.org for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #367rescue.
If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA. Thank you for helping us support cruelty victims nationwide.
Just untie them yourself, better the consequences than letting them starve.
Absolutely!!!! Untie them!!!! Sometimes you have to step in yourself.... same goes with dogs in yards that the law doesn't support... these laws are so weak, people can get away with just about anything!!
So, you saw a horse starving just down the road, but expected others to take care of it, right? I know that it is certain people's actual jobs to investigate and handle these problems legally, but why stand by and watch a horse starve to death? Go feed it, knock on the owners door, raise hell til someone listens! Anything but standing by just watching a horse die a slow and horrible death.
If you can, keep an eye on them and as long as you don't go onto their property, they can't do anything. If you notice the horses are getting skinny or mistreated take pics if possible. You don't want the owner to get suspicious of what you're doing though because then they might put the horses somewhere where they can't be seen at all which would be defeating your purpose.
Ann Marie, I also live in Gainesville and I'd like to invite you to Petsmart on Archer Rd. tomorrow from 11-5 to show you how many local animal folks are doing their absolute best for the dogs of Alachua and Levy counties. I think you'll be surprised at the number of both dogs and volunteers who are taking time to find forever homes for every dog possible! We (Phoenix Animal Rescue) even have our own spokesdog who was rescued from a dog fighting ring in Marion County over 3 years ago and she'd love your help!
Ann Marie,
I believe that you care - or you wouldn't be responding in any manner. If we ALL can't stand together against this ongoing problem (instead of attacking each other over a comment), then this problem and many others won't go away. Find like-minded individuals and start a non-profit, a petition, or local group - something to reflect your desire to help in ANY way. I am sure that there are Many people that feel the same way you do in your town - get the word out - and you'll see the change/difference that ONE PERSON (You) can make - no matter how small, every effort helps!
Founded in 1866, the ASPCA was the first humane organization in the Western Hemisphere. Our mission, as stated by founder Henry Bergh, is "to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States." While there are SPCAs and humane societies all over the country, the ASPCA is not directly affiliated with them. However, the ASPCA works nationally to rescue animals from abuse, pass humane laws and share resources with many shelters across the country.
I suggest you visit the Alachua Counry Humane Society on Rte 20 in NE Gainesville for a more up to date picture of what's being done and by whom.

Who is in charge of updating the website? Is that Jeremy?
The reason I ask is that I took a step back after the posting issues that just occured and was looking at the website from a newbies point of view. (I was trying to clear my head.) I noticed that 3 of the 6 pages have out of date information.
The home page has 2 events that occur once a year each and that doesn't really help new people at all.
The events page has events from 2006 for both tournaments and leagues.
The join page has a sentence at the bottom about a monthly meeting at Jim's house that doesn't happen as far as I am aware.
If we, being the ldgc, want to meet the needs of new and experienced players I think that the website could use an update that would be more meaningful to players. The home page for instance could have a description of the club and what it is about. The events page could have it's links updated for that calender year, etc. A blurb saying that the discussion board is where you want to head to and get the latest information. Just some thoughts and suggestions. I have very little website programing knowledge but I will help where I can. My friend Rich, who plays disc golf, is decent at so maybe I can drag in his help too.

VIRGINIA BEACH -- Hundreds of people attended the first town hall meeting on the city's arena proposal Tuesday night.
City Council members and city leaders listened and answered questions.
For the city to build the arena, it'll need to pay more than $240 million.
While most people seemed pleased with the idea, that price tag is raising some concerns.
'We have a real challenge with the traffic in this area. It's a real challenge,' said one concerned citizen.
'Just imagining the risk of the project. Is this taxpayer going to be on the hook if something goes not according to plan,' said another.
City leaders say the next big step is to hear from the General Assembly on help with funding.
That will happen at the beginning of January.

What happens is not defined by "free will" or "determinism".
The brain's reactions are not "pre-determined".
They arise in relationship to the ever-emerging moment.
The brain changes and adapts based on its constantly streaming perceptual input.
I'll take your word for it. I have every faith that you are right.
For as long as I can remember it felt like something was missing.
The human brain is programmed to color in the blank spots.
It is very good at that when it focuses on the physical reality.
It can build dams and invent telephones.
But when the brain tries to tamper with or understand the nature of its self it accomplishes nothing because
there is nothing to study.
After the event in Las Vegas it is known that along with sentient awareness comes a
primal discontent.
Life can never reach the safe zone or keep what it calls happiness for very long.
Now all of that is embraced as the ground rules.
No longer is there searching for answers to questions about the nature of self.
It simply is no longer there.
There is a response when my given name is heard….....but it is known that that is not who I am.
At this point, it is believed that no amount of research or understanding will extricate the self from its little throne.
Something else is needed.
The ground can be tilled, the seeds planted and perhaps they will grow into a beanstalk….....perhaps not.
Perhaps the beanstalk will be climbable and climbed.
Perhaps not.
There is no advantage in this apprehension.
Nothing is gained.
In a strange way, everything ls lost.
Flowing along with it there comes a strangely familiar contentment.
It really feels like one is flying headless through a storm.
The headlessness ,the storm, and the watching becomes who one is.
I must tell you that right now the organism here is extremely happy.
It just got the Geth Plasma Shotgun in Mass Effect 3.

ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_enemies_of_reason (I created that Wiki article from scratch!)
"Is it rational that the dead can communicate with the living and give sound advice on how they should live their lives? What about sticking pins into your body to free the flow of Chi energy and cure your illness? Or the bending of spoons using your mind alone? Is that rational? Richard Dawkins doesn't think so, and feels it is his duty to expose those areas of belief that exist without scientific proof, yet manage to hold the nation under their spell. He will take on the world's leading proponents in their field of expertise, meet the victims who have used them and expose the history of the movements – from the charlatans who have milked these practices to the experiments and testing that have failed to produce conclusive results."

How Do I Find a Student's Last Day of Attendance or Activity in Bb Learn?
NAU now requires attendance records for students with an "F" or "W." You can use course reports to find a student's records of activity in Bb Learn.
1. From the Course Management Control Panel in your course, go to Evaluation > Course Reports.
2. From the Overall Summary of User Activity item choose Run.
3. Select a format (HTML just to see it in your browser), a date range (the entire semester may be what you need), and one or more students (CTRL - click to select non-contiguous students).
4. Submit
The results will show you, toward the bottom, activity for each student for every day of every month, so you can determine when a student last "attended" based on the criteria you determine.

Draft Status: Some team is going to fall in love with Mays triangle numbers and draft him early. How early will depend on how soon the Oakland Raiders are drafting. Mays is a pure SS prospect, run support only, meaning a two down defensive back. That's not first round pick to me, but as I said Skeletor will see this kid run in shorts, and trade up to no.1 just to be sure they get him. In all seriousness, the shortcomings in his game should push him down but i doubt he falls out of the first round. May need to work out as a linebacker, if he wants to improve his status.
Final Analysis: I went into the season expecting big growth and development from Mays in terms of his sloppy technique in coverage, poor tackling, and just overall mediocre skill set outside of run support But it hasn't happened. And I don't know if it will happen. Seems that Mays is what he is. And that may mean he has to move to linebacker where his shortcomings in coverage would be minimized. But in order to do that he's going to have to learn to take much better angles, and become a much better form tackler.
Reminds me of: Roy Williams, SS Cincinnati- These two guys are so alike it's scary. Williams carved out a nice career for himself, which always having it hang around his neck that he couldn't cover. The same will hold true for Mays. In fact I'd cut to the chase while he's young and make him a weakside linebacker right off the bat, before he gives up too many long touchdown passes.

10 Ways to Spook Your Customers
Respond to Customers like a ZombieCommunicate Like a MachineRun a Skeleton StaffSet Monstrous GoalsNever Do a Post-mortemSuck the Lifeblood Out of PeopleDon't Tell Clients What's Lurking Around the CornerPull a Few Too Many TricksAvoid Accountability like the PlagueUp-sell RelentlesslyIs Your House Haunted?
Are your responses to customer inquiries heavily scripted as if they came out of some low-budget horror movie? Do your customers feel like no matter what they say, they get form letters and rote messages in response? Do your policies disengage members of your staff from active listening, critical thinking and personalized problem solving? If customer-service personnel perform like zombies, you can guarantee that customers will run from them.
Businesspeople are steeped in the practices and language of their respective industries. As such, they often forget to translate their communications for easy public consumption. Instead, they convey their messages using jargon, terminology and acronyms that make their customers' head spin.
Particularly in times of economic distress when profits need to be propped up, many companies' first reaction is to slash their operations staff. But while a bare-bones staff is cheaper to run, it also translates into delays, unreturned phones calls, overall inattentive service, and low staff morale – characteristics that are hardly the ingredients for great customer experiences.
Business transformation is overrated. It's good to have high aspirations and stretch goals, but large scale overhauls – of a company's brand, its operations, or it technology – frequently bring firms to their knees, rather than catapulting them past competitors. To avoid scaring your loyal customers away with radical changes, do some experiments first. Never underestimate the power and efficiency of incremental advances toward it.
In the whirlwind of daily business activities, people rarely take the time to dissect and diagnose customer complaints. That's a shame. Complaints present a wonderful opportunity to not just recover gracefully (and perhaps win back a consumer's loyalty), but to identify the root cause of a problem and fix it. Bonus tip: What's even rarer than conducting a post mortem after a customer complaint? Examining customer compliments. There's great value in pinpointing what employee or business practice produced a happy client and then figuring out how to replicate that outcome more routinely.
To create happy, satisfied, and loyal customers, you need happy, satisfied and engaged employees. Create a work environment where employees don't feel appreciated, respected, or well-equipped to do their jobs, and you're guaranteed to drain them of energy and passion. A focus on a larger vision, work-life balance, and active mentoring will help you to keep workers motivated and feeling happy.
Creating satisfied, loyal customers is a lot about managing expectations. People's frustration (or delight) with a business is closely tied to the expectations they have going into an transaction. Customers don't like ambiguity or unpleasant surprises. If you don't tell them what to expect – how long they'll be on hold, how much paperwork they'll need to fill out, when they'll hear back from you, etc. – then they're more likely to be annoyed when the interaction isn't as quick, simple or straightforward as anticipated.
Does your business ever try to trick its customers with short cuts in service, special offers that exclude desirable merchandise, or fine print that can't be understood? these are examples of "tricks of the trade" that may draw customers in momentarily, but won't create a foundation on which to build loyal relationships. It is always better to under-promise and over-deliver.
Have you ever heard a staff member tell a customer that fixing a problem was outside the scope of his or her particular job? A lack of accountability can be a gruesome disease if left untreated. Customer calls are not promptly (if ever) returned. Commitments are not kept. Obligations are forgotten. Want to create a brand experience that outshines all others? Make sure everyone in your company is prepared to accept responsibility when something goes awry.
Do some of your customers think your organization is always after them to close another sale? No matter how sophisticated your point-of-sale systems are, how advanced your segmentation strategy is, or how dazzling your advertising campaigns appear – it means nothing if the people interacting with your customers are not genuinely helpful.
Don't fret: You can turn around your relationships with customers by committing to a higher level of service, identifying were your company comes up short, and inspiring and training your employees to do better. These 10 tips were provided by Jon Picoult, the founder of Watermark Consulting, a Connecticut-based consulting firm that helps businesses improve the customer experience.

All the good ones are basically gone now......
Jrue 4/46
Lawson 4/48
Curry 4/44
Jennings didn't reach an agreement with the Bucks. No surprise there.
Teague, Collison, and Maynor are some other notable restricted free agents.
Billups, Moe, Jack, Calderon, Harris, and Augustin will all be unrestricted.
Any point guard free agent mentioned above, or no mentioned, seem intriguing?
Personally, I think we should continue to focus on developing Rivers. Our money could be better served addressing our wing depth and possibly big man rotation.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Patrick Mills.. most underrated player in the league.. wasting talent on the spurs bench
While I agree he's extremely talented, underused, and underrated, I don't think he necessarily would be a great fit on our roster.
We can dream, I guess!

I like Augustine on that list. young pg who will hit the 3 & his free throws
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
I wonder what the chances are that we make a big run at Jennings.
I'm not his biggest fan, but supposedly Demps likes him a lot.
Given the shrinked market for PGs, I suspect he'll demand quite a bit.
I hope he demands more than we're willing to pay.
Jennings will never want to play here, and every person in our fan base would hate him. He is incredibly delusional about his own abilities, and I believe is on the record saying a player of his talent shouldn't have to play on Milwuakee. No way Monty would want to sign him.
I won't be sulking if we pass on him.
He is clearly the most talented PG available in FA, though.
The question that remains is: Does his attitude offset his talent/on court production?
Supposedly his career arc closely resembles that of Tony Parker statistically speaking.

After all, Milwaukee has never had a legitimate secondary option for Jennings until they traded for Ellis.
(Bogut was always hurt/banged up).
Just playing devil's advocate.
god damn! wanted Jrue...CP3 then
Jeff Teague would be interesting if we're focused on upgrading SF more than anything else. Teague/Vasquez would be serviceable considering the PGs of past champions. I think Teague would play well with our players, but I don't think Atlanta lets him go unless we overpay him (which I wouldn't advise).
I have a feeling that Dell might use our cap space in a different manner than just signing free agents. With the new tax penalties, some teams might give up an asset such as a pick or prospect just to take on a bad contract. That's how OKC got Ibaka. They took on Kurt Thomas and in return got a pick the next year, which turned into Ibaka.
My guard of choice is Mike Conley. Sucks Memphis was smart and realized him to be such an underrated player, because if he would have been let loose this FA period, he would be my main target at PG.
Monty has compared Rivers to Parker before. Rivers is going to have to develop that deadly floater that Parker has. That shot is pretty much unstoppable for Parker. I'm still disappointed that Rivers is still keeping his head down when he drives to the basket. He needs to get his head up earlier so he can get a good look at the basket. When he keeps his head down, he doesn't have good vision of the basket to make the shot, aware of the number of defenders waiting for him, and his #1 priority is usually seeking contact. He's asking for an injury playing that way.
Look at Parker in this video, you notice that he always keeps his head up and is aware of his surroundings. He's never seeking contact and is always looking to avoid it. He uses his deadly floater and has great range on it from 10ft in. Rivers desperately needs this shot in his repertoire. Hopefully, he'll develop a reliable shot as he can get into the paint at a very good rate.
At 31 years old and about 12 years in the league playing the position, I'd say he'd BETTER NOT have his head down. Rivers has a lot to learn.
I'm almost to the point where I feel this thread might be about the wrong guard position....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Austin Rivers ends up starting at his natural SG position.

Just one thing I want people to keep in mind about Jennings is how much they "know"
Do you really know he has a bad attitude? Is there really evidence out there that he is large market or bust? Have you watched dozens of Bucks games over the past few years and read multiple unbiased articles or are we all going off of a generalization based on one or two things we heard somewhere or read in one article?
I remember his Italian coach praising him for being so mature for his age. I have read multiple articles in which he said he just wanted to win and the size of the market has nothing to do with it. And even if he is some of what the whispers say, is that a deal breaker? I have seen Stephen Jackson labeled as a terror in Charlotte, but become the ultimate team player in San Antonio. Guys dont want to play the right way on crappy teams that are going nowhere, but they get their act together when they could be a part of something great.
Just keep in mind that we hate when our players are painted with such a thin brush nationally (Jason Smith is a thug, for instance). Let's not do that with another guy- we are better than that.
When it comes to Jennings, what do you really "know"?
And according to Bucks people in our TrueHoop Network, Jennings final counter to Bucks was 4 years and 39 million and they turned him down, want to keep options open. So this myth that he only wants to play in a small market is just that, a myth.
Once they start off season poorly, they will be looking to move him and I would do it if that was his asking price

"We personalized this by using blues/navy colors, by removing 1 of the courses (we're only having 3 courses, but there is room for 4 on the menu if needed), by doing rounded edges which I think adds to the slightly more informal modern look, and adding a 'save room for wedding cake' note on the back. I'm really looking forward to adding this to our table display."
"We used this card as an invitation for our rehearsal luncheon as most of the rehearsal cards noted "dinner" on them and did not have enough space for the information we wanted to include. We designed them ourselves, as well as our save-the-dates, invitations, and other enclosures, and were once again, extremely pleased with the designer specialists' finished product. It's very easy to alter any of the products shown online and the specialists do an amazing job following the instructions given. I even called the specialists regarding our save-the-dates, as I had never ordered through this website before, and they were very helpful and professional. My future mother-in-law asked me to help her order the rehearsal invitations and absolutely LOVED them! We have been very pleased with everything we designed and ordered from weddingpaperdivas.com and have recommended it to friends."
"These menu cards are the perfect design for our wedding. The designer was great in creating exactly what I wanted, right down to the date format. I wouldn't have minded them slightly bigger, but I can't really fault anything!"
"I want to thank Juan , Takashi, Matt, Angela, Renee, Russel and everyone who helped me at wedding paper divas. Everyone who helped me was beyond patient, helpful and curtious. The end result was beautiful and when I had a problem , Weddingpaperdivas was very helpful. I would definitely, without a doubt use you again and absolutely recommend you to others. Thank you again, Ariela"
"We transformed the menu card into an invitation insert and added the bridal party, flower girls, and reception information. It turned out better than we expected. We chose this in purple, along with the invitation and response card."

Swimming Shatters 11 School-Records at BGMC Meet; Prim Prepares for NCAA II Nationals Next Month
February 23, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. The men and womens swim teams at Pfeiffer University combined to break 11 school-records in last weekends Bluegrass Mountain Conference meet held in Charlotte at the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center. A handful of the records broken were the second or third editions of that happening this season alone. Julianna Prim scored an individual victory in the womens 200 butterfly in Saturday nights finals. The women concluded the BGMC meet in 10th place while the men wrapped up in 11th.
The record breaking began on night one, Wednesday, as the womens 800 free relay team of Prim, Haley Carter, Yukina Onoda and Samantha Maness broke the record the set back on Halloween by more than six seconds. The foursome eclipsed their old record of 8:10.50 with a new relay time of 8:04.15 at the BGMC.
On Thursday, the same quartet broke another mark they shattered back in mid-October in the 400 Medley relay. Swimming in the order of Onoda, Carter, Prim and Maness, the ladies broke the old time during prelims with a 4:10.01 before passing it again during the finals run with a 4:05.87. The October time was a 4:10.58. Prim went on to trim the record time in the womens 200 IM with a 2:11.11. The freshman set that mark back in November with a 2:12.55.
The men broke the first of their five records on Friday as Edwin Torres passed a time he set back in December of 2007 during the 200 free. In prelims, Torres set the new bar at 1:46.14 before breaking it again in the finals with a 1:45.02. Torres 2007 time was a 1:46.44. Another womens relay, the 200 medley, saw another record collapse with Onoda, Carter, Prim and Nicole DiVaccaro. By a slim .28 seconds, the four knocked off their old time back in October with a 1:55.21.
The highest, daily number of records were broken and re-set in the final day of competition on Saturday. George Moreno started the day with a new 100 freestyle time of 48.41 before Torres beat him out with a 48.11. The best time in the 100 free was a little more than a year old. Moreno and Torres then teamed up with Mark Franz and Zach McMichael in the 400 free relay to break another year old record with a time of 3:12.93.
The same four ladies who started the week with three record-breakers finished with the teams 11th in the 400 free. Surpassing a time of 3:45.56 set back in February of 2008, Prim, Carter, Onoda and Manness beat out the old mark by .26 seconds setting the new time at 3:45.30.
In event 32, the womens 200 fly, Prim out-touched Emilee Margiotta of Tampa by .06 seconds to register the individual win. Prim, a BGMC Swimmer of the Week back in November 15th, will now begin preparations to race in that same event at the NCAA II Nationals next month in Canton, Ohio. Prim qualified for the national meet with a time of 2:04.66 back in November at the Wingate Fall Frenzy.

News Details
Landon Hancock Co-edits New Book, Local Peacebuilding and National PeacePosted Feb. 3, 2012
The new book co-edited by CACM's Dr. Landon Hancock, Local Peacebuilding and National Peace, picks up where his 1997 volume, Zones of Peace, left off: analyzing the interactions between the kinds of local peacebuilding efforts evident in the earlier book and the national peacemaking initiatives or war fighting strategies that are pursued by national governments. Once again breaking new ground, this new book documents how local people have sought to make their own peace with local combatants in violent and protracted struggles. It thus makes an extremely valuable contribution to our knowledge of local and national peacebuilding, advancing the literature in important ways.
