BASIC Race Awareness Seminar
(Designed by Civil Rights Activist C.T. Vivian)
The BASIC (Black Action Strategies & Information Center) Race Awareness Seminar has a long history at NC State. Our university first sponsored this two-day seminar in 1975 and has since graduated over 1,000 participants. Designed and often facilitated by renowned civil rights activist C. T. Vivian, this seminar requires participants to engage in an intense, honest appraisal of their individual and collective racial attitudes. NC State's CVM has sent 100 students, faculty, and staff to this seminar. Click here for more information.
The National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) has conducted programs on hundreds of college and university campuses across North American and the Pacific. They have launched campus affiliate chapters on sixty campuses where faculty, students, and administrators have made an institutional commitment to using NCBI programs as a mechanism to provide an ongoing response to discrimination, oppression and handling controversial issues.
An NCBI campus affiliate is made up of a team of students, faculty and staff from various disciplines who provide a powerful leadership resource for the campus. The team provides pro-active workshops to improve the overall campus climate for diversity by building a more inclusive environment and teaches skills in how to effectively shift prejudicial attitudes and be powerful allies for one another. The team is also trained to intervene when tough intergroup conflict arises on the campus or between the campus and the community.
NC State's CVM has had 100 students, faculty, and staff participate in NCBI trainings and now has 100 NCBI trainers on staff who have completed a 3 day train the trainer training session. Click here for more information.
Community Outreach
The Students, Faculty, and staff of the College of Veterinary Medicine embrace NC State's mission of community outreach and engagement. CVM representatives are active in the community, the state, the nation, and the world.

The U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) defines military sexual trauma (MST) as
sexual harassment that is threatening or physical assault of a sexual
nature.1 These traumas occur when a person is in the
military.1 The location, the genders of the people
involved, and their relationship do not matter.1
Sexual harassment may include:
Sexual assault can be any sort of activity that you don't
want. It doesn't have to be physical. Sexual threats or bullying are sexual
assault. Rape is not the only type of sexual assault. Sexual assault is any
unwanted sexual act, including touching or grabbing.
People who
have been sexually assaulted often feel that no one can help, that they have no
power, and that it may happen again. People may tell you or indicate that it
was your fault or that you just need to get over it. Your military experience
may make these feelings more intense. This is because the person responsible or
his or her colleagues:
The bonding within your unit can make it hard to report
your assault. You may feel torn between loyalty to your unit and to yourself,
and you may feel you need to keep quiet for the good of the group. You may feel
forced to choose between your military career and continued contact with the
person who assaulted you.
MST can happen during war, peace, or
training. It can be man-to-woman, woman-to-man, woman-to-woman, or man-to-man.
There is no set reaction to MST. You
may feel fear, shame, anger, embarrassment, or guilt. You may have a response
right away, or it may be delayed for months or years. You may feel sad or
scared months or years after the assault.
After MST you
Some people try to deal with their feelings by pulling
away from other people, working all the time, or
using drugs or alcohol. They also may feel
depressed or have
panic attacks.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a sexual
assault is common. PTSD is more likely to occur after rape than
after any other traumatic event in both men and women.2
After a sexual assault, many
veterans keep quiet. They worry what others will think of them, and that
talking about the assault will hurt their military careers. But the VA can
The VA has qualified MST counselors at every hospital. Many
Vet Centers also have an MST coordinator. This person can discuss treatment
with you and help you find the services that best fit your needs. Many VA and
Vet Centers offer services specific to men and women.
often is used to treat MST. Your doctor also may prescribe medicines that help
with symptoms. Treatment can help you cope with trauma and regain confidence
and self-esteem.

I think I'll try planting a few of them later this summer if they are on sale for a good price again, before I had tried Northern Red Oaks, but just when they looked like they were starting to take off good, they died on me!
Last year I got one small Bur Oak, and it has done really well so far!,,,That's why I want to try more!
If I try anymore of the Northern Red Oaks, I'll buy larger pots of them, for I feel they would have made it if I'd only bought a bigger size!, But my one gallon Bur Oak is thriving!
That's surprising, they're supposed to be good for your area.
Did you see Sussexman's post on planting cherry trees? Maybe some of his advice might be worth a try. He wrote: You should dige the hole for it as deep as you can and when you put the soil back improve with a good dose of muck. That ground will be home to the tree for a long time so giving it the best start will ensure a happy tree. If you wish at any time to prune it do it in the summer not in the winter. This applies to most stoned fruit trees. It helps stop Silver Leaf. If you want to stake it in the start then put the stake in at an angle low down thr trunk so as the top is facing the prevailing wind. With the planting hole line it with thick cardboard, this stops any roots from surrounding plants invading the planting hole and gives the tree roots total access to the good soil you put in the hole. By the time the cardboard rots the tree will be established and can look after itself then. Don't forget to stand the tree ( assuming it's in a pot when you got it) in water for an hour before you plant it and give that hole a real good soaking before you plant the tree.
Also, if dirt gets piled up around the trunk above the original dirt line, it suffocates them.
Was is right after you got them that they croaked, or after a bad cold spell ... in other words could you pinpoint how it happened? They didn't get the split-bark problem with the frozen sap bursting with the sun in the morning?
Hmmm ...
I checked out a three garden centers today, I found a few plants for the bog garden: Feather Reed Grass (it's variegated), a Concord Grape, two other kinds of grass, and some plants for grandma begonias and black sweet potatoes.
I also found some trees to do research on, California Sycamore!

Fireclay substitute
I live in Montana, and I cannot find any supplier for fireclay. In fact they all say that fireclay is not produced anymore. Is there a substitute for the fireclay.
I am currently planning to build a Pompeii Oven. I need the fireclay for under the cooking floor.
Re: Fireclay substitute
The fire clay under the floor is used to level it. You could probably get away with using sand. I would use the brick dust you are going to have from cutting the brick. Cut 50 of them in half and you will have more than enough to do the job (the 50 is a SWAG).
Re: Fireclay substitute
I use fireclay as it that which is recommended, however at the relatively low temps we fire to I can't see why any powdered clay would not be suitable. If you have access to say powdered earthenware clay (ceramic/pottery suppliers) I'm sure it would suffice. Failing that you should be able to dig some clay from your own yard, usually below the topsoil layer, dry it, break it up and seive it. But that is a fair amount of processing which takes both time and effort.
Re: Fireclay substitute
Thank you for your replies. As long as sand and brick dust are good enough to hold 1,000F (possible temp expected to be reached by a fire in a Pompeii Oven), I will use that idea. It's cheap and easy to implement.
This is the first time I am building an oven, am I going to encounter other places in the building project, where I will need to use fireclay such that the brick dust would not be enough? Reading through the plans, it does not look so. But for those who built their own oven, may have some insights of fireclay needs that the plans don't mention.
Re: Fireclay substitute
If you make your own mortar, the clay is required there as well. I just read on another thread where Home Depot carries fireclay. If your store doesn't carry it, maybe they can have it shipped there. And the people that tell you it isn't produced anymore are full of crap. There are bags and bags of it down the street from me.
Re: Fireclay substitute
This, I believe, is the HC Muddox "fireclay" that HD carries:
Re: Fireclay substitute
That bag says mortar clay NOT fireclay. In Australia bricklayers clay is wrongly labelled fireclay. it is not a refractory clay, but a product designed to make the mortar more "sticky". It still may be suitable buut is probably not a true fireclay, check with the manufacturer.
Re: Fireclay substitute
If your fireclay is just to mix with sand for your leveling medium, the cutting tray slurry will work fine. If you are going with the homebrew mortar, you're going to want fireclay. Your vendor saying they don't make it anymore is foolish. He just doesn't want to stock it (it's cheap). Try pottery suppliers.
Re: Fireclay substitute
Home Depot Fireclay
and . . .
Here's Muddox's MSDS sheet for this "Mortar Clay." The MSDS indicates it goes by two different names (Lincoln Fireclay or Mortar Clay). This stuff is apparently made by Gladding McBean - which is just 45 minutes or so up the road from me. I pass their quarries all the time. Makes me think it's the same stuff that's all around me . . .
Muddox Fireclay MSDS Sheet
Re: Fireclay substitute
Upon further review . . . the HC Muddox "Mortar Clay" is, in fact, Fireclay.

CERF provides seed funds to jump-start critical relief operations and fund life-saving programmes not covered by other donors. Based on priorities established under the leadership of the Humanitarian/Resident Coordinator (RC/HC) in the field, UN funds, programmes and specialized agencies as well as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are eligible to apply for grants and loans. The process is meant to be inclusive and transparent and efforts should be made to engage NGO and government partners. Requests are submitted to the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC).
Applying for Rapid Response grants
CERF rapid response funds can help reduce the inconsistency and delays humanitarian organizations may experience when receiving voluntary contributions. Rapid response funds help support life-saving activities at the onset of a crisis. More>>
Applying for Underfunded grants
One-third of CERF grants are given to support humanitarian response activities within an underfunded emergency. Twice a year, the ERC invites selected countries to apply for grants from the underfunded emergencies category. The ERC selects countries based on a number of criteria, including funding statistics, UN agencies' recommendations, inter-agency consultations and discussions with the RC/HC. More>>
Applying for Loans
CERF's loan element provides money to eligible humanitarian organizations to begin implementing their emergency response activities. These funds are crucial, as organizations may experience delays when receiving donors' contributions. More>>
The interactive graphic below explains the process step-by-step. NOTE: The links embedded in the graph will open PDF files.
Application Process
- Apply using the CERF Application Template (English Word - January 2015) unless the ERC agrees to fund against a Flash Appeal or similar document.
- If funding against an appeal, the RC/HC submits a summary table with a list of projects and requested funding amounts for each.
- NOTE: Simultaneously prepare Flash Appeal and prioritize projects for CERF funding; provide CERF allocations in summary tables within Flash Appeal document if the ERC has already approved funding.
- CERF grant-proposal packages should not substitute the development of a Flash Appeal.
- In all cases, agencies must submit a CERF Budget Tool 2013 (Excel - January 2013).
- In all cases, proposals should be sent as a package with a cover letter/e-mail from the RC/HC to the ERC and the CERF secretariat.

Nishio also felt dissatisfied by the relatively few throwing techniques of aikido that included mainly iriminage, shihonage, and kotegaeshi. Little by little, he developed his own innovative repertoire of techniques that included aikido hip-throws (koshiwaza) based on his background in judo. In a like manner, he systematically incorporated atemi modeled on sword movements to facilitate the setup and execution—"tsukuri" and "kuzushi"—of techniques. He also devised sword and staff counterparts to empty-handed techniques drawn from his extensive weapons background. Click here to watch the video

ELIZABETHTOWN — As the race for New York's 21st Congressional District enters the 90-day stretch before voters head to the polls in November, Democratic candidate Aaron Woolf said he perceives what he refers to as a "perceptible ramping up of momentum."
Woolf, speaking to the Valley News after receiving an endorsement from the Central Trades and Labor Council last Thursday in Gouverneur, said his campaign has been focused on traversing the district and speaking with voters and small business owners.
The candidate said he felt moved by the spirit of bipartisanship, something is says is a quintessential North Country characteristic.
Office openings in Potsdam, Glens Falls and Watertown have added to his buoyancy.
"Each appearance seems to have more people than the last," said the candidate, who also has the Working Families Party line. "Rooms full of twenty-something energy."
On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the candidate, who lives in Elizabethtown, released his first television advertisement, a gauzy, half-minute ode to bipartisanship entitled "Walk Across the Aisle."
In a half-hour phone interview, Woolf cited several issues that his Republican opponent in the race, Elise Stefanik, also discussed at a meeting of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board last month. They include controlling the spread of invasive species, examining the emerging biomass energy industry and developing tourism infrastructure, including roads, broadband and financial boosts for bicycle tourism, that will help bump the economy.
"We need to invest in research that will make renewable increasingly viable," Woolf said. "We can and should be a model for the rest of the state and country."
The candidate said biofuels demonstrate perhaps the most promising growth potential in the region.
Invasive species, he said, threaten the district's tourism, one of its chief economic drivers. Citing past work on a variety of boards — including the Adirondack Council, where he served before resigning to run for office — he stressed the merits of conservation and preservation.

The Oktibbeha County School Board will introduce a new assistant superintendent at its meeting at 6 p.m. Monday at the district's main office.
James Covington, OCSD superintendent, said Kathi Wilson will start as assistant superintendent on Monday and will appear at Monday night's meeting. Previously, Wilson was assistant superintendent for the Holmes County School District based in Lexington, he said, and before that, she was principal of Starkville High School.
"She comes to us with a lot of experience, on the school level as well as at the central office level," Covington said. "When she was at SHS, she consistently made that school a high level 4 ... for several years. She'll bring a wealth of experience as well as knowledge to the OCSD."
Wilson replaces Jerome Smith, who retired as assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment this year after 41 years in education.
Covington said one item not on the board's agenda is the Oktibbeha County Lake. At its June meeting, the OCSD board voted unanimously to re-advertise for proposals for the lake with a new deadline of July 31, and as a result, Covington said further lake discussion will likely wait until the August meeting.
Another significant item Covington said will not come until August is the school's budget.
"We're needing numbers from the tax assessor's office so we can complete the budget process," Covington said. "That probably won't be available until after July, I think. We're not quite ready to deal with the budget issue just yet. "
Covington said the board will also approve a professional development handbook for the upcoming school year, which teachers will use to prepare before students arrive. Other items he said the board will address include propane bids, an insurance bid, an agreement between Institute of Community Services, Inc. and the OCSD, and other general school business.

Visitors to Prince Edward Island are often taken with the beauty of the land, our living Celtic, Acadian and Mi'kmaq heritage, and the smiling faces and warm hospitality of Islanders. To people "from away," these make PEI a special and unforgettable place to visit. For those who live here, it's simply "the Island way".
Early European settlers arrived mainly from Scotland, England and Ireland and their influence is obvious in the names found on mailboxes, the lilting accent of the people and the omnipresent Celtic music. The Island's Acadians have their roots in France and a visit to La Région Évangéline will introduce you to their tumultuous history. This blend of cultures and heritage is represented in a lively and entertaining way in the small halls across the province. Ceilidhs (a Gaelic word for party or a good time), community concerts and Acadian supper theatre are wonderful introductions to PEI cultural traditions.

Qualcomm hoping to feast on Snapdragon
Menu of devices with processor is growing
• Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon application processor at the end of 2008. It brings low power use but computer-like processing capabilities to smart phones.
• The first smart phone using Snapdragon was Toshiba's in early 2009.
• Qualcomm has unveiled its next generation of Snapdragon chips, with a more powerful dual-core processor.
• Snapdragon chips run on smart phones including Google's Nexus One and the HTC Droid Incredible, as well as Lenovo Skylight smart books and the Dell Streak tablets.
• Qualcomm said 20 devices on store shelves worldwide today are powered by Snapdragon, and an additional 120 gadgets are being designed by manufacturers.
Qualcomm has gotten off to a fast start this year with its new Snapdragon processor, getting the powerful chip into 20 smart phones, smart books and tablets on the market today, with an additional 120 devices in the pipeline worldwide.
Now the San Diego wireless chip giant is hoping that one or more of these devices becomes a blockbuster hit with consumers.
That's a big question, in part because none of these smart phones or tablets are made by Apple. The gadget that has been a runaway hit, Apple's iPad, does not use Qualcomm's chip. Apple designed its own applications processor for the iPad — 2 million of which have sold in two months.
Still, Qualcomm has high hopes for Snapdragon. The processor is the brains under the plastic and glass of Google's Nexus One, the HTC Incredible, Sprint's EVO 4G and the Dell Streak tablet, among others. It delivers the processing power of laptop computers of five years ago without draining the battery every couple of hours.
The company's strength is radios for mobile devices, but it's been working for years to expand its chip offerings. Now it makes several kinds of chips in addition to radios, from graphics to GPS circuits to Bluetooth.
Snapdragon is the company's foray into processor chips, which are one of the important pieces of silicon as phones become more like computers and as new devices like tablets gain in popularity.
"I think we have a stronger brand than anybody" in the smart phone processor market, Qualcomm Chief Executive Paul Jacobs said at a recent investor conference. "It's kind of funny to hear Qualcomm talking about a brand, but we seem to have a pretty good brand in the space."
Even with its recent success, Snapdragon remains a small part of Qualcomm's overall chip business, partly because the Nexus One wasn't a breakout hit, and it's too early to say whether other Snapdragon-based devices will be.
Qualcomm thinks the growth in smart phones opens the door for Snapdragon. Analysts estimate that smart phones made up just 17 percent of cell phones sold worldwide in 2009, but that is forecast to jump to 38 percent by 2014.
"We're pleased with the market traction we're seeing" with Snapdragon, Bill Davidson, Qualcomm's senior vice president of global marketing and investor relations, said at a conference. "I feel now with 140 designs, your odds of having some hits in there to drive significant volume go up."

Also read some of the recent reviews here https://play.google....facebook.katana
Jackie - July 19, 2012 - Motorola Photon 4G with version 1.9.7
Terrible Update
The app used to be great minus the few annoying bugs aka wouldn't always load pictures right. Now all I get is my connection times out with anything and everything can't even pull up my notifications let alone my news feed. This was the WORST update I have ever seen
Kasia - July 28, 2012 - LG Cayman with version 1.9.7
Slow and glitchy
I have the lucid and as precious reviews said, its slow and awful. Black screen, blank screen, can't like or comment. I won't be using fb mobile anymore
eric - July 24, 2012 - HTC Evo 4G with version 1.9.7
I cant believe how bad this facebook app keeps getting.
I feel like everytime i get on this app something else wrong happens, and thats horrible cuz im on it everyday like 5 times a day. Sometimes it wont let me like any posts. Almost everytime i try to look at a picture it freezes up and wont load the pic so iback out hit it again and it only shows the tags in the picture then i back out hit it again and it finally shows the picture or it just crashes. App crashes at least 2 times a day running on a fully updated Evo 4g and on wifi so its not my internet. FixIt
Btw Firefox Android running Phoney Add On gives you a completely working Desktop FB if you can put up with zooming in and out everywhere. Telling FB to use the desktop version of the site in standard Android browser is buggy but using Firefox set to identify itself as desktop firefox works well for me.

So I have come into possession of a 2.1A Apple charger and have one of these on order as well. There's one thing I want to confirm and one I'm not sure about.
1. As far as I understand it the device will draw as many amps as it needs up to the rated maximum of the charger. There is no problem whatsoever using a high amperage charger on a device that doesn't need that much. Is this correct? I've found a lot of conflicting information by Googling so I just want to double check that there's no problem using high amperage chargers for everything.
2. This I couldn't find anything about. Are *all* USB cables (say, 2.0) able to handle up to 2.1A? Or are only some cables? I don't see any ratings on any of my cables. I currently use one from HTC (for my old phone, Mozart) and another $3 one that I bought for travel. Should I obtain new cables that I'm sure could handle 2.1A? How would I even be able to tell since this doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere as part of the specs?

Discipline with buckets
I've been having conversations this week about how different research disciplines come together to share ideas on similar topics.
At Microsoft Research New England on Monday this week, Nancy Baym and Jonathan Sterne brought together a fantastic group of leading academics from around the world and from a wide range of disciplines at the intersection of music and technology for a one-day symposium which addressed the fertility of music as a subject that bridges computational, social scientific and humanistic approaches.
Read more about that here.
And at the European Commission meeting on the Future of Creativity and Creative Industries, we talked a lot about ways in which different disciplines could collaborate and research around the creative industries in the digital context.

Sugar beet processing season is coming to a close in the Red River Valley, even as the planting season is revving up. Jeff Schweitzer, spokesman for American Crystal Sugar Co. in Moorhead, Minn., said most of the factories are down to processing beets in cold storage sheds. In some cases, the remaining beet storages are equipped with chilling mat covers, with large refrigeration units that can be employed if necessary. Continue Reading

RH8.0 detected the SBlive just would not load the driver.
I had to alias audio in Modules.conf and load the module manually.
When I ran the redhat-config-soundcard it says..

Fix Arrives for Banned Xbox 360 Consoles
There's a fix to restore that banned Xbox 360 console so it can jump back onto LIVE again.
Modders recently discovered that their customized Xbox 360 consoles were banned from Microsoft's Xbox Live service. The latest sweep took out around 600,000 to one million consoles, hunting down modified firmware and locking the units off the network Microsoft said that in order to get back online, modders would need a new Xbox 360 console.
However, website 360Mods says different, providing a fix to get those custom consoles back on Live. The new workaround, iXtreme LT (Light Touch), tries to make the altered firmware appear as the original, Microsoft-certified version while keeping the modded information. The fix may even allow gamers to play backup disks under Microsoft's nose.
Unfortunately, the workaround isnt simple. Xbox-Scene reports that the fix is somewhat complex and requires the user to have access to the CPU key of a second, un-modded Xbox 360 console. Still, the update relies on free tools provided online, however modders should be aware that both the modded console and the un-modded console cannot access Live at the same time (as both use the same CPU key).
Follow me on twitter to get inside scoops and updates even faster!
Create a new thread in the Streaming Video & TVs forum about this subject
I actually wanted the console pirates to flourish to show game publishers that they can't always push the blame of loss profit on PC users. In reality, it's easier to pirate console games than some pc games.
i wonder if there is anyway to get a cpu id off of my rrod console. that way i can buy a banned one cheap and just use this fix.
No biggie, us pirates know this risk comes with the territority. I hope no pirates are mad at MS, let's be fair, we're in the wrong.
11Anonymous , November 13, 2009 9:53 PMgreat... so they found a way of making the banned xbox work on live by making the other one stop working on live (when logged on at the same time).
I wouldn't really say 'hurrah' but nice to know they're trying.
7tayb , November 13, 2009 10:02 PMAnd what happens when Microsoft see's the same CPU key being played by two different consoles?
I wouldn't really call this a "fix."

8redkachina , November 13, 2009 10:47 PMIts way to complex for average banned 360 users..
1brendano257 , November 13, 2009 11:23 PMWell you'd have to buy a new console either way so it's not exactly a "fix", but, if you bought a new console and re-modded it, you'd be back in the same place, kicked out of XB Live again. However this provides a way for you to still mod and not get kicked out.....although still not the greatest of options regardless.
0Honis , November 13, 2009 11:55 PMFinally, a use for all of those BRICKED XBOX'S filling our landfills that WILL NEVER HAVE ACCESS TO XBOX LIVE ever again!
Just incase you can't ignore the lower case part:
Bricked Xbox's will never have access to xbox live.
i wonder if there is anyway to get a cpu id off of my rrod console. that way i can buy a banned one cheap and just use this fix.
1matt2k , November 14, 2009 12:27 AMaaaargh matey, just call up, we fix things
0Anonymous , November 14, 2009 12:30 AMok its not the CPU key, its the DVD key, which is signed to each console individually. you can spoof the DVD drive to change the key to the actual console ID. iExtreme LT hasn't even been released yet, its still in the making and we are awaiting it. iExtreme LT is just the simplest form of firmware possible, and it will boot games that arnt correctly patched. so if you dont know how to properly stealth patch a 360 game, dont even bother modding it. as of now, dont play burnt games on LIVE and dont hook up to LIVE wit4h modded firmware!
6choujij , November 14, 2009 1:19 AMThis article is a bit deceiving. Quoted from xbox-scene:
Quote:This method has been known for a long time (since the King Kong Exploit days) and does indeed 'work'. Basically you swap the Keyvault (or 'KV' in short, it stores stuff like console certificates, per-box private keys, DVD key, etc) inside the NAND with the KV from an unbanned console. While technically very different you could somewhat compare it to swapping eeprom data during the Xbox1 days.
However there's a (really) big 'IF' (besides the required tech knowledge) ... you need the (unique) CPU key of your banned console - without it you can't correctly write the new KV data in the NAND bin of your banned console.
Now you wonder how to get the CPU-key ... well by running XeLL of course!
To run XeLL u need to perform the JTAG hack (or the King Kong exploit, but that's even more outdated) ... and if you got banned the last few weeks it means you updated to the latest dashboard/kernel (else you can't get on LIVE).
And that's the problem... Microsoft patched the JTAG hack since kernel 849x (July 2009) ... so no way to boot up XeLL (= no realistic way for you to get the CPU-key atm) and thus no way to swap the KV data in your NAND image.
And then there's also added KV protection (hashing) on newer motherboards (Falcon+ ?), but if you can't even get your CPU-key it doesn't matter much to do deeper into this problem.
The only way it would work is if you retrieved the CPU-key of your old banned 360 before you updated to anything over 849x. If you did that you probably know about all of this and I'm not telling you anything new
Downgrading kernel is not an option either, older kernels won't boot as both kernel and CB fuses were burned during the various updates MS performed.
Which means that if you were banned from xbox-live within the last half year, there is no way of "unbanning" your xbox to get back on.
-4Anonymous , November 14, 2009 1:41 AMits a joke its not real it cannot be done i should know i was one of the one millon banned and that part is true
No biggie, us pirates know this risk comes with the territority. I hope no pirates are mad at MS, let's be fair, we're in the wrong.
5choujij , November 14, 2009 2:11 AMTechnically it's possible, but you would have to have retrieved your cpu key before updating to dash 849X (or going on xbox-live). Only then, could you flash your nand chip using separate hardware.
2hixbot , November 14, 2009 3:38 AMUsing the xell hack to replace cpu key is not new, its very old and has always been a difficult and in the end rather pointless procedure (you are cloning a good xbox's cpu key, only one can be online at a time). this 2 year old procedure is a terrible excuse to run an article claiming a new fix for banned consoles.
The only new news its the liteonlt firmware, and that has nothing to do with fixing banned consoles.
shame on every site propagating this news without checking facts. seems like all it takes is one site to say something, and every other site reports it. noone investigates it.
1darkknight22 , November 14, 2009 3:44 AMiXtreme LT isn't even out yet. slow the car down there.
as for the so called fix, you'd be better off getting a new console. Especially considering the hoops you have to jump through.
1jalek , November 14, 2009 4:51 AMBanned ones on eBay aren't going for substantially less than others, even clearly labeled as such.
You can get a dead or untested bare console for like $50 to swap parts from or clone if you can get it to run that long.
0buwish , November 14, 2009 8:03 PMI'm sure that it will be just a matter of time before someone out there comes up with a true fix.
1Anonymous , November 14, 2009 9:42 PMI hope not
0Anonymous , November 14, 2009 11:02 PMThis is perfect for me, i have 2 Xboxes, one modded and one un-modded which i leave in my cupboard to collect dust.
4Anonymous , November 15, 2009 12:31 AMOr you could just, you know, BUY a new 360 and BUY the games. Hell, get 'em used after a month or two and save some money.

Gotenyama, Shinagawa, No. 28 in One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
Gotenyama, or Palace Hill, was the southernmost projection of the Shinagawa heights. It overlooked the Meguro River to the south and the Tokaido highway to the east as the road passed through the narrow settlement of Shinagawa, gateway to the city of Edo. The palace for which it was named was ascribed to Ota Dokan, the fourteenth-century founder of Edo, and was the suburban retreat of the early Tokugawa shoguns. After the shogunal villa burned, Gotenyama became one of the city's most popular flower-viewing sites.

- Image:
- Catalogue Description: View of Gotenyama (Palace Hill) in Shinagawa, gateway to the city of Edo, one of the city's most popular flower-viewing sites. In "Ehon Edo Miyage" (vol. VII), Hiroshige explains that huge quantities of earth had been dug away from the hill in order to build the Odaiba, the eight small island fortresses constructed in Edo Bay off Shinagawa in 1853-1854, following the arrival of Admiral Perry's warships. One of the Odaiba was attached to the land near Gotenyama (see pls. 81, 83, and 108). This print is unique for it not only shows the beauty of the traditional Edo ranges above but the ravages of destruction below, as shown by the group of people making their way through the muddy swamp left by the construction efforts. In 1870-1871 the hill was again under construction for Japan's first railroad and its earth was moved into the sea to provide railway embankment.

I loved this! I too thought it should be "dressed up" a bit. I pressed crumbled cooked bacon bits around the sides instead of the cracker. yum! Thanks for sharing
This was very well received at a wine tasting party we attended. I added parsley to the top to brighten it up a bit and in the future I would only use the Cheese Nips as a crust on the bottom, not the sides. I would press parsley into the sides instead, since it's not the most attractive dish.

A wonderful savory version of a traditional cheese cake. Tastes best if made one day ahead. Rave reviews from my guests.
This was delicious. Can't wait to have it again.
This was a wonderful and well received dish...dressed it up a bit.
can't say it was not good, 'cause it was quite well liked. Only, I expected something different: I prepared it for a brunch and it came out as a pie with a crumbly crust. And was received as a pie by everybody, nobody at all questioned the matter. As I had leftovers and some other people to dinner 2 days later, I decided to warm it and serve it cut into little morsels, with onion and cider chutney. Well, it's been a hit!

Well, school has started, but summer definitely hasn't ended. Boulder has been a little bit too warm for my liking, and all of us are counting down the days until the fall weather comes! It's so crazy that I've officially started Senior year. Like the title says, I've also started the last of my firsts. For example, my last time moving in to my sorority, Delta Delta Delta, my last first day of school, my last Italian class...I know that in Graduate school I'll have another first day of school and probably another Italian class, but it just won't be the same! It's also my last football season as an undergrad (may or may not be planning on coming back for some games next year if I'm in the States!) and it starts this Saturday! I am so excited for the CU vs. CSU game! My high school never really had a rival for football (aka we were too bad to have a rival...our strong sports were soccer, lacrosse and men's swimming), so for me it's really interesting to see how much people get in to the whole rivalry! But let's be honest, black and gold look better than green on most everyone!
Classes so far have been pretty cool. Like I thought, Philosophy of the Sciences is going to be really interesting! I'm kind of intimidated about some of the topics though, since we will be debating String Theory and the like, and I have never taken Physics before! But I'm sure it will be interesting to hear everyone's side and learn about String Theory as we go. I'm most excited to talk about dinosaurs, though, and I think it would be really interesting to hear someone try to explain why dinosaurs didn't exist. It seems impossible! Another really cool class is going to be my Multicultrual Rhetoric writing class. The teacher is amazing and has taught English abroad, just like I hope to do someday. In my previous experience, I have always thought of "multicultrual" meaning foreign cultures, but it was really cool to hear the professor explain that even groups like the Snowboard and Ski culture can fit into the multicultrual setting that is CU Boulder. I can't wait to look into that further!
Well that's it for now! I hope everyone can go to the CU vs. CSU game this weekend! I know I'll be there!

Sometimes it was with his feet. Other times it was with his arm. On occasion, it was with both.
No matter what method Starkville High quarterback Gabe Myles used as his skill of choice this season, the junior always seemed to find a way to get the best of the opposition.
Racking up 1,916 yards with 19 touchdowns in the passing game while running for 1,018 yards and 13 more scores, Myles, the Starkville Daily News All-Area Player of the Year, served as the centerpiece for the Yellowjackets' run to their first state championship game in a decade.
With a couple of weeks having now passed since SHS fell to Picayune in this year's Class 5A title contest, Myles has now had time to reflect on all the accomplishments he achieved both personally and with his team.
"It was all expected, but at the same time, unexpected," said Myles. "I knew if I did what I was capable of doing, we'd be able to get to where we were.
"I just thank God and my coaches for pushing me and giving me the drive to keep working and bettering myself so the team would be in better situations to win ballgames."
Behind the electric play of Myles, Starkville in fact won plenty in 2011.
The Jackets put together a 12-3 overall record, using their dual-threat signal-caller as the powerful engine of their offensive attack.
Myles' efforts didn't at all go unnoticed.
The Mississippi Association of Coaches recently honored Myles with Class 5A's Most Valuable Offensive Player award.
"To earn that, an award given by the coaches, it's a great honor for him," said Starkville head coach Jamie Mitchell of Myles. "So I don't think it is just all of us around here that thinks he's pretty good. I think there is a lot of folks across the state that realize what a talent he is."
Mitchell and the Jackets staff have long known the many skills that Myles possesses.
In 2010, when the SHS offense revolved around then-quarterback Jaquez Johnson, Myles' athleticism led to him being utilized as a wide receiver before he suffered a season-ending injury.
Mitchell said Myles' ability was evident as a wideout, but it would have still been hard to predict the success that Myles ended up having under center in the recently-ended campaign.
"I did think he'd be a good player," said Mitchell. "Before he got hurt last year, he was really, really impressive in practice at receiver and we were all impressed with him, but I don't think any of us would have ever dreamed that he'd be able to pull off what he did this year at quarterback.
"He certainly shocked us as a coaching staff. We knew he'd be a good player, but just never dreamed he could do what he did."
Myles, however, wasn't as surprised he could pull off the receiver-to-quarterback transformation so flawlessly.
After all, Myles said he's practically grown up with the football always in his hands.
"The transition for me was really (in 2010) going from playing quarterback to receiver," said Myles. "I'd been playing quarterback from 4th grade up to 9th grade and then in 10th grade moved to receiver. So coming back to quarterback was actually pretty easy."
Myles certainly made playing quarterback look simple at times throughout the season.
Myles adapted so easily that SHS offensive coordinator Preston Leathers said the Jackets coaching staff had to alter their plans just a bit.
"Early in the year, we tried to protect him a little bit and ease him in at quarterback slowly," said Leathers. "But he's too good of an athlete and we took the wheels off of him pretty quick. He made plays with his arms and with his legs."
On the rare occasions when Myles wasn't at his best, Leathers said Myles was his own biggest critic.
"I have to pick him up sometimes because he gets on himself so much," said Leathers. "He's just a great player though and he's an even better person."
Therein lies one of the major reasons Mitchell believes Myles has become the player that he is.
Not only does Mitchell recognize the amazing athletic abilities of his quarterback, but Starkville's leader sees Myles' upbringing – a factor that Mitchell believes is aiding Myles' ongoing quest for greatness.
"All this didn't just happen for him," said Mitchell of Myles. "It started at home. He's got a great mama and a great daddy that keep him extremely well-grounded and generally those kinds of kids are easy to coach and he certainly is.
"He's got a lot of good things headed his way."

Find the right bulb, the first time, from Batteries Plus Bulbs. We offer the greatest selection of spot, flood and PAR light bulbs for all of your lighting needs. Spot and flood lights, often referred to as PAR lights or lamps, can be incandescent, halogen or HID. Each has a precision-pressed glass reflector lamp that reflects light coming from the filament, much like a parabola. PAR lamps rely on both the internal reflector and prisms in the lens for a controlled or focused light beam. These bulbs are extremely bright and can be used for accurate controlling of light levels. Halogen PAR bulbs have a mirrored reflector to control the light. Halogen PAR bulbs are often specified for task and accent lighting.
Spot and flood lights can be used indoor and outdoor and are designed to provide a variety of beam spread. At Batteries Plus Bulbs, we offer lights in the following colors: blue, green, yellow, orange, red and more in both 120V and 130V options.
PAR Sizes
PAR (Parabolic Aluminized Reflector) is actually the description of the lamp or bulb that goes inside a PAR can. The can is the container where the PAR lamp or bulb goes. The number beside PAR is a measurement that describes the diameter of the PAR lamp or bulb. To figure out the diameter, divide the number next to PAR by eight. For example, if you have a PAR64, divide 64 by 8 and you will have an 8-inch diameter lamp. PAR56 has a 7-inch diameter lamp, PAR46 has a 5.75-inch diameter lamp, and so on. The diameter of the PAR lamp is useful to know when ordering a replacement lamp. We stock Par16, Par20, Par30 short and long neck, Par38, Par56, Par64 and much more.
Business-to-Business Capabilities
We have business-to-business sales professionals ready to analyze and support all your light bulb needs. We have large inventories, broad assortments and drop-ship capabilities. Whether you need a truckload, case, or a single bulb, we are your one-stop source. We also offer volume discount opportunities, business deliveries, and multiple order and payment options. Contact us for more information and open a Business Account or National Account today!
Recycling and Contact Information
While light bulb technology continues to evolve and is great for energy savings, light bulbs contain mercury and must be properly recycled to help keep our environment safe. Batteries Plus Bulbs is a leader in recycling your compact fluorescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes, HID bulbs and spent ballasts. At Batteries Plus Bulbs, our trained associates will make sure all disposal and recycling is done in a proper and environmentally safe manner.

Marketing performance measurement and management
|Key concepts
|Promotional contents
|Promotional media
Marketing performance measurement and management (MPM) is a term used by marketing professionals to describe the analysis and improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of marketing.[1] This is accomplished by focus on the alignment of marketing activities, strategies, and metrics with business goals.[2] It involves the creation of a metrics framework to monitor marketing performance, and then develop and utilize marketing dashboards to manage marketing performance.[3][4][5]
Performance management is one of the key processes applied to business operations such as manufacturing, logistics, and product development. The goals of performance management are to achieve key outcomes and objectives to optimize individual, group, or organizational performance. MPM however, is more specific. It focuses on measuring, managing, and analyzing marketing performance to maximize effectiveness and optimize the return of investment (ROI) of marketing.[6] Three elements play a critical role in managing marketing performance—data, analytics, and metrics.[3]
Data and analytics[edit]
One of the core methodologies to measure marketing effectiveness is the collection of appropriate data.[3] The gathering of right types of data, and its accuracy, is crucial in measuring the marketing performance. Agreement between the marketing department and the senior management is important in selecting appropriate data to be collected.[1][7]
While data collection is relatively simple, a thorough analysis to make sense of collected data is critical. By thoroughly analyzing the data, organizations can gather actionable business insights to improve the marketing effectiveness and marketing efficiency. For example, organizations can use the analytics to drive the marketing return on investment, and make faster and better business decisions.[5]
One common use of these analytics is optimizing marketing spending by using market mix models--models that measure the impact of marketing activities, competitive effects, and market environment on sales of a product. The consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry extensively uses this method, and it is now being adopted elsewhere. For example, in Financial Services, Marketing Mix Modeling projects and tools will collect all marketing spend into a single database, and analyze spend's effects on acquisition of new customers, retention, average customer value, up-sell of additional services, and so on. These models use data to create a model that establishes the link between spend in various channels, geographies and so on with incremental sales. The concepts and tools of these Marketing Mix Models date back over 30 years - but more sophisticated techniques developed in the 1990s/2000s by such agencies as ATG, MindShare, Edge, and Brand Science, coupled with the explosion in the quantity and availability of marketing data, have brought MMM into the mainstream. With the increased usage of the Internet, social networking sites, mobile advertising, and text messaging, interest in them is increasing. [5]
Metrics and management[edit]
Measurement and metrics enable marketing professionals to justify budgets based on returns and to drive organizational growth and innovation. As a result, marketers use these metrics and performance measurement as way to prove value and demonstrate the contribution of marketing to the organization.[1][6]
Popular metrics used in analysis include activity-based metrics that involves numerical counting and reporting. For example, tracking downloads, Web site visitors, attendees at various events are types of activity-based metrics. However, they seldom link marketing to business outcomes. Instead, business outcomes such as market share, customer value, and new product adoption offer a better correlation. MPM focuses on measuring the aggregated effectiveness and efficiency of the marketing organization.[4] Some common categories of these specific metrics include marketing's impact on share of preference, rate of customer acquisition, average order value, rate of new product and service adoptions, growth in customer buying frequency, volume and share of business, net advocacy and loyalty, rate of growth compared to competition and the market, margin, and customer engagement.[4] In addition, MPM is used to measure the monitoring of operational efficiency and external performance.[1]
Operations performance metrics is a term used when organizations manage marketing functions as a business. Organizations committed to implementing MPM may create positions such as marketing operations director and marketing finance director. Program-to-people ratios, awareness-to-demand ratios, the cost vs lead, the cost vs sale, and conversation rates are the typical data collected and analyzed. Operational performance metrics, however, primarily provide the organization with a way to rationalize marketing investments, but do not correlate marketing to business strategy and business performance.
MPM tightly focuses on these operating measures to help marketers view how efficiently resources of the organization such as people, facilities, and capital are used. External performance measures aligned with business outcomes assess things such as the value an organization provides to customers or the performance of an organization relative to its competitors.[4]
By using a top-down approach, marketers develop metrics and specific performance targets known as key performance indicators (KPI).[6] First business decisions are made to define the scope. To create metrics and KPIs, marketeers involved in MPM try to first brainstorm on the business outcome that they are trying to impact. This is followed by asking the opposite questions that need to be answered to determine if the questions have an impact on this outcome, and the necessary supporting data required to answer these questions. After determining what data is needed, marketeers need to search for this data, and determine the decisions and actions that must to be enforced as a result of this data mining.
One way of displaying the performance measurements is with a dashboard.[8] The dashboard is where all data and metrics are collated and presented as useful information for the organization. Marketing professionals create these dashboards from metrics and KPIs. Organizations can then use this information to proceed with their marketing. In essence, a dashboard is a multilayered performance management tool that enables organizations to measure, monitor and manage business activity by using both financial and non-financial measures. The dashboard provides analysis into the progress of the organization toward achieving each defined objectives.[5]
A good dashboard consists of three layers:[5]
|Executive level
|Strategic level
|Monitors and measures performance against business outcomes and marketing objectives
|Operational level
|Marketing management
|Tracks performance of core marketing strategies and processes
|Tactical level
|Functions and individuals
|Analyzes performance at project or activity level as they relate to the first two
An ideal dashboard should show the progress of marketing, help assess productive areas, and help in the decision making. In addition, dashboards provide an indication on the value of marketing and also helps to align marketing with the business.[5]
MPM professionals develop closed-loop business processes for data collection, performance target setting, measurement and reporting.[1][5][9]
Processes must describe a document outlining the step-by-step actions that marketing must take to follow the process consistently. A valuable aid is the process map. Process mapping is a technique to create a clearly defined objective to meeting business results. It provides a systematic description of the actions taken by marketing personnel as they use a specific set of activities to produce a defined set of outcomes. It can also help identify skills the organization may need to implement the plan. In addition, an organization can use the process map to identify technology and training requirements. For organizations committed to implementing ISO 9001, process maps are an integral part of quality management.[1]
The marketing metrics continuum provides a framework for how to categorize metrics from the tactical to strategic. By navigating this metrics continuum, from activity-based to predictive, marketers can move towards more effective marketing measurement and align measurement and metrics with business outcomes.[5]
System and tools[edit]
According to Marketing Metrics in Action: Creating a Performance-Driven Marketing Organization,[5] the creation of a performance-driven organization requires two elements: a set of standards and processes for identifying and accessing relevant data, and the ability to generate performance metrics from the data.[5]
Management and skills[edit]
A Forrester Research and Heidrick and Struggles study titled The Evolved CMO, found that 20% of the 115 chief and senior marketing professionals needed a further understanding in marketing measurement, customer relationship management (CRM), and customer data analytics.[10] Marketing professionals must be able to tap into customer information that enables them to provide a strategic guidance the organization requirements. This allows them to extend business into emerging markets and bring innovative products to market.[11]
Marketing professionals can then assess how to measure the impact of marketing on the business and translate the metrics to simple charts, data, and figures that the top management of the organization (CEOs, CFOs, and other CxOs) can understand.[5]
A United States-based study conducted by management consultants Bersin and Associates states that "today more than 40% of US corporations believe that 'driving a performance-based culture' is one of their top three talent strategies."[12] Cultures that foster an environment of teamwork and employee development, and resource empowerment achieve higher quality outcomes. Similar to other optimization processes (for example a six sigma quality management program), MPM requires a culture of accountability within the organization.[2] Without a disciplined approach, success of implementation of MPM to drive productivity would not yield tangible results.[1]
Stakeholders for MPM implementation include the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and marketing operations professionals.[5]
Marketing accountability of an organization lies with the CMO. CMOs are deeply involved with the MPM professionals to define marketing objectives, determine investments and prove the value of marketing in the organization. Marketing operations and analysis professionals are responsible for the creation of new metrics and processes to measure and improve operations performance. They are expected to evaluate and implement systems to improve marketing efficiency and effectiveness.[6] In addition, they are faced with the challenges of collecting data and analytics essential to the development, and the deployment of marketing dashboards and creating the marketing operations road map. The chief financial officer of a company or public agency is the corporate officer primarily responsible for managing the financial risks of the business or agency. This officer is also responsible for financial planning and record-keeping, as well as financial reporting to higher management. As marketing is a crucial vertical of any organization, the CFO is an important stakeholder for any marketing and other finance-related tasks.[5]
