McAfee security solutions for embedded devices help manufacturers of all types of embedded systems protect their products from malware and attacks by hackers and cybercriminals. McAfee solutions include application whitelisting, device management, anti-malware protection, Global Threat Intelligence, and encryption.
To disrupt advanced and targeted cyberattacks, you need to think about more than malware. You must collect, interpret, and apply subtle clues throughout an attack chain. More than raw data, organizational and situational context enrich other forms of intelligence to create indicators of attack. Harness these warnings to reveal suspicious events, equip your systems and people to contain and mitigate attack activities before they succeed, and adapt controls for a sustainable advantage.

It makes it easy to integrate and manage real-time, context-aware, multi-engine defenses as an end-to-end system. Your defenses can neutralize suspicious files or behaviors at the forefront of cyber threats and data theft.
Improve detection to reduce events, noise, and false positives so you can identify the true indicators of attack and prevent a data breach. Contextualize data to guide confident action. Optimize intelligence, analytics, and controls to iterate rapidly through cycles of prevent, detect, respond, and adapt, and help your protection get stronger over time.

Robber run down in RutlandMarch 15,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Rutland City Police investigate a robbery on Center Street in Rutland on Friday at noon.A quick-thinking barista has been credited with saving the day in an attempted robbery at the Coffee Exchange in downtown Rutland today.
At around noon, police said Nicholas Young, 22, of Rutland, walked behind the counter at the popular bistro at the corner of Center Street and Merchants Row, grabbed a bag full of cash intended for the bank along with an employee's purse, then walked quickly from the store, according to witnesses.
In the ensuing chaos, employee Kate Barcellos bolted out the door and pursued Young down the sidewalk on Merchants Row, through the Asa Bloomer Building and onto the bus terminal under the downtown transit center.
Barcellos, who is 22 and stands 4 feet 11 inches tall, said she kept up a steady stream of shouts for help and for the man to stop.
At the terminal, three bystanders heeded her calls and tackled Young, who was taken into police custody. The purse and the bag of money were returned to the Coffee Exchange, Barcellos said.
Police said Young has been charged with felony grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault for allegedly biting two of the bystanders who tackled him. One of the bystanders had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.MORE IN This Just InNEW YORK Yes, your mutual fund may own some Greek stocks. No, most likely not a lot.

Christina Applegate Marries Fiance Martyn LeNoble
Congratulations to Christina Applegate and musician Martyn LeNoble tied the knot in a private ceremony in a Los Angeles over the weekend. The couple has a 2-year-old daughter named Sadie together.
The Anchorman 2 actress, 41, started dating 43-year-old Martyn back in 2008, soon after splitting from first husband Johnathon Schaech. The pair got engaged on Valentine's Day 2010 and welcomed little Sadie into the world the following January.
Christina has previously credited her new husband, who was a founding member of '90s rock band Porno for Pyros, with helping her get through her battle with breast cancer after she was diagnosed with the disease in 2008, and underwent a double mastectomy that same year.
On this tough year, she's said, "I have a small but mighty support system and Martyn has really been an incredible part of my life. Without him, I don't know if I could've gone through any of it. He came around at a time when there was a lot of loss in my life on many levels, so he's been a really incredible help."

VIVOBAREFOOT are the original barefoot shoe and was first introduced in 2003. With innovation at the core of our brand, we've expanded to offer the largest range of barefoot shoes on the market; One of our main focus areas is to increase awareness of the importance of choosing the correct footwear for children, this is because a child's foot is not fully formed until late teenage years (the bones are soft and malleable). 'Any' interference with natural foot development (such as non-foot shaped shoes, arch support, rigid materials and padded pitch) will deform the natural shape of the foot. A strong healthy foot is a natural one and is the foundation of healthy movement, this is why we have a fantastic range of kids shoes for School, Play and everything inbetween.

The Ph.D. program in social work is designed to prepare educators and scholars to teach the next generation of social workers and to conduct publishable research aimed at improving the lives of the distressed, the mistreated, and forgotten. It is a part-time program that demands full-time dedication and motivation. Like the Marines, we don't seek hundreds of applicants, just a few good ones every year, which allows us to work closely with each doctoral student. Our faculty are affiliated with such prominent UK centers as:
- The Center on Trauma and Children
- The Training Resource Center
- The Center on Drug and Alcohol Research
They provide many opportunities for student research. See the recent listing of our students' publications and presentations here.
Although our program began in 1997, our Ph.D. graduates can be found across the country -- in California, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Alabama, and Indiana, in addition to Kentucky.

Author to speak on surveillance state at BookstockBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | July 26,2013
WOODSTOCK A writer from Pomfret says a coup is going on in America right now as we speak.
According to William Arkin, the rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution are eroding in an age of concocted fear and de facto military authority. He will speak about secrecy, surveillance, government law-breaking and more at 4 p.m. Saturday at the fifth annual Bookstock Festival on the green in Woodstock.
Arkin will preview his latest book American Coup: How a Terrified Government Is Destroying the Constitution. The books publisher is Little, Brown and Company and a publication date of Sept. 10 has been set.
Arkin has over 35 years experience in national intelligence issues. He served in Army intelligence in West Berlin during the Cold War and wrote more than a dozen books, including the national best seller Top Secret America with Washington Post reporter Dana Priest.
In American Coup, Arkin says that a group of high-level officials within the national security establishment is undermining the Constitution. Arkin argues that no president in recent history has done anything to stop the abuse of power and that every aspect of civilian life has been militarized by national security programs.
Arkin said he hopes someday Americans will see through the facade and take steps to restore the Constitution.
Its not a conspiracy or a Dick Cheney like cabal. Its not an evil group of people, but more like Wall Street. It doesnt have a leader or a particular geographic location but its the totality of the interests of an interested class ... that every president from Harry Truman to Barack Obama has given them the authority to prepare for major calamities that are assured to occur, Arkin said.
There were several major developments this summer on surveillance, government secrets and whistle-blowing. Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed several classified NSA and British spying programs this spring to Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian.
Snowden leaked espionage activities conducted in foreign countries, telephone data and information on American and British surveillance programs. U.S. government officials claim he broke the law, while many Americans consider Snowden a hero, according to a recent poll by Pew Research Center and USA Today.
Arkin didnt say whether Snowden was a hero, but he is watching all of the latest developments closely and hopes it will not lead to more government power.
Whether he will go for espionage or for harming national security remains to be seen, Arkin said. Its an interesting question because as someone who worked in the field, just because they say something is secret, doesnt mean that it is and just because they really believe a secret was revealed doesnt necessarily mean it did damage to national security. The government still has to prove (Snowden) did damage.
Advance copies of American Coup will not be for sale Saturday, but Arkin said his previous books will be.

IRVING (September 29, 2012)--NFL referees voted Saturday in Irving and approved a new eight-year deal with the league and now they all can get back to the business of calling games.
Referees approved the contract by a 112-5 vote Saturday morning, officially ending a lockout that led to a rising chorus of complaints from players, coaches, fans and politicians.
The next stop for the refs was the airport, where most were to catch flights taking straight to their Sunday game sites.
The deal came quickly after three weeks of escalating difficulties for league-hired replacement refs, culminating in a disputed touchdown call that decided Monday night's Packers-Seahawks game.
With a tentative deal in place, league referees returned to cheers at Thursday night's game between Cleveland and Baltimore.

That's IF they say okay
I hate to be a wet blanket here but I will again go on record saying this is all doomed to fail BECAUSE - despite our many hopes and dreams-- the studio IS looking at the bigger picture
At 8 books in length- and considering they are not as popular in sales as any number of King's singular efforts--there just isn't a big enough audience out there to support such a huge project
Especially switching formats the way they have planned..... two or three major feature films and then a two season TV series set to run in between the films????
Here's a better more practical idea......How about condense the best portions of all eight books and make a large budget three season series on AMC or HBO and be sure to only have 10 to 13 episodes per season and be doubly sure the cast and crew agree to a limited tight budget. This means that everyone will take a pay cut and THAT means it will be a more attractive project to the studio
Even better is if they can film on location in Canada or someplace
And maybe even tell the story AS one long story. Don't break it up into "chapters" that signal where in the story we are compared to the books ( like Wolves of Calle for instance) because even while it would be a good cross promotion for the books , I doubt most people watching this would run to the store the next day and buy the book.. especially when they find out there are EIGHT books in the series
And THEN the studio needs to be committed TO the series so it all gets all three seasons filmed and then let the chips fall where they may-- unless of course the ratings numbers truly signal that nobody is watching then they have no choice but to cancel
But sticking to TV and locking in a limit of three seasons is the only way for this to possibly work--
If they stick to this current plan of jumping back and forth between film and television ( more than once) I would imagine the money they need to spend for the marketing ALONE is going to be a huge amount since you have to remind the people who went to see the films that the next portion of the project is running on TV and then after that you need to remind them to go back TO the theater to see the NEXT portion of the story etc etc etc)
And you all HAVE to know by now that very very few books adapted to film or television are able to keep everything in the book- there is simply no room nor time to fully adapt EVERYTHING from this book series. So while the mainstream audience may love the project, what we dont need is for a thouand fans of the books to go online bitchin' that there were favorite parts from the book that didnt make the cut
Lets step outside the fandom box a moment
You have to seriously compare the readership numbers here Its a huge risk In fact I dare say its an ever bigger risk than Lord of the Rings ( and that was JUST three books)
But then again, Hollywood does step up now and then and takes risks.
But I personally dont see Russell Crowe committing an entire year (or more) of his life to this but hey, I could be wrong
What would be best is if they find a director and an actor who HAVE read the books or are at least somewhat familiar with the material outside the scope of Hollywood and then maybe you would have some people in there who are encouraged by the material and that will translate on the screen
And they need an unknown ( and someone who has a likeness to Eastwood) to play Roland with a good number of 'name' actors in supporting roles This way EVERYONE will be on board
But again-- this whole thing is a risk
( see while every adapted book has its own built in audience, that NEVER means that the much much much larger group of people who do not actively READ for their entertainment are aware of the book)
I hope it works of course as I too, am a Constant Reader just like you
But there are a variety of factors that have to line up for this project to fly including a commitment from several directors, a large cast- including a few "names" so that the mainstream audience will be attracted to it- as well as a dedicated crew
Even if it doesn't work, remember what Uncle Stevie always says....... the books will always be there
Any comments? Thoughts on this?

Daily Tip: How to set up Skype to become your home iPhone, iPad security camera
Have you ever been out and about with your iPhone or iPad and wished you knew how to just press a button and get a video view of your home? Sure there are home security solutions that can do this -- for a lot of money. But how about on the cheap? Well, if you have an iPhone or iPad 3G and Skype, you can. We'll show you how after the break!
[Thanks to Mickey Papillon for this ninja-level tip!]
Okay, if you want to set up Skype to be your cheap home security, on-demand video peeping solution, you'll have to get a few things set up.
This is an advanced level tip so we're going to assume you know what Skype is, have an account, and are familiar with using it. If not, let us know in the comments and we'll break out some basic tutorials to get you started.
- Login to Skype.com and set up a second Skype account
- Don't give anyone this second account ID or allow them to contact it unless you don't mind them peeping into your house either!
- Setup the second Skype account on your home Mac or Windows PC in the room you want to be able to look into
- Set Skype on that PC to automatically answer video calls
- Open up the Skype app on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad (logged in on your regular/primary Skype account).
- Use your primary Skype account on your iOS device to call your second Skype account at home, which will now automatically answer.
- Watch the video and make sure everything is safe at home.
That's it. Again, the steps above require a knowledge of how to setup and use Skype so if you need help, let us know. Otherwise, if you try it out, how does it work for you?
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward…)

Daily Tip: How to set up Skype to become your home iPhone, iPad security camera
If you don't have anything nice to stay keep your fingers from moving.
Fail. You're wrong too. WiMAX is NOT true 4G.
I guess this is decent, but if you're really that concerned about your house, iCam is so much better, as it can push you if it detects motion, and will also record the motion while it's happening.
It's great, because you can turn off and/or lock your computer with the iCam server running, and it'll let you know if something's going on in front of your webcam.
The only problem with that is that you have to choose to blank the screen, otherwise the other party can see what's going on. It's not a bad solution, but either way, it shows that SOMETHING is going on with the computer, which can alert the other party.
iCam makes nothing known to the other person.
Use Orb Live to stream your webcam.
Good point, yet you might see the sorry bastard that cleaned out your house, and then be able to identify the degenerate later. Actually I remember seeing just such an article a couple of months ago, a lady identified the rat-bag that broke into her house, in this way, exactly. I don't remember which Apple blog it was on, I follow so many (TiPb, TUAW, 9to5Mac, Macrumors, CultofMac, Macenstein, et cetera). Yes, I have no life apart from the cult :D
Here's some good news for all your iPad owners! GotoCamera, www.gotocamera.com the world's leading surveillance, monitoring, and security service with over 100,000 customers from over 180 countries, has come out with a free iPad app for their customers. All that one needs to do, is set-up an account with them and hook up a webcam to monitor their home, office or business. Once the account is set-up, you can access your cameras (snapshots and videos), view and manage your camera footage stored on the GotoCamera servers, and change your motion detection settings. The best part about this service? - It's FREE!
Thank you for some other informative website. The place else may just I get that type of info written in such a perfect method? I have a mission that I'm just now operating on, and I've been at the look out for such info.
Thanks for your write-up. One other thing is when you are advertising your property by yourself, one of the concerns you need to be aware about upfront is how to deal with home inspection reports. As a FSBO vendor, the key towards successfully transferring your property as well as saving money with real estate agent profits is information. The more you realize, the easier your property sales effort are going to be. One area in which this is particularly critical is inspection reports.
Yes sir!! See it in action in Demotivate HD, which comes out this week. It is rather impressive. I'll post a before/after in the announcement.
Team Owen You are genius creative and thoughtful. We feel privileged to work with you.Jackie and the team at Prometheus

Thursday, June 13, 2013
If you've ever wondered how your city or town council spends your hard-earned tax dollars, there's a powerful tool that's available at your fingertips.
Using this tool, you could quickly and easily see which vendors your city or town does business with, along with amounts they're being paid, what they're providing, and other important details.
Residents of at least a dozen South Carolina counties, and an even higher number of municipalities in the state, already benefit from this service.
But every South Carolinian ought to be provided access to this information.
So what is this magical tool?
It's not magic, but it is powerful: It's called fiscal transparency.
To use this powerful and convenient tool to get the details of government spending, all you need is a computer with Internet access.
With that, you can go online and, with just a few mouse clicks, you can explore your local government's checkbook register.
There are many benefits for government to provide you access like this.
For one, it applies the best incentive to ensure responsible government spending – sunlight.
In addition, because fiscal transparency provides citizens with convenient access to information about spending by their local governments, it eliminates the need for people to ask for it and then often tolerate long waits for officials to reply.
Indeed, fiscal transparency often helps folks avoid the burdensome and often costly task of filing formal requests under our state's open-records law, the S.C. Freedom of Information Act.
Online spending transparency is something a government entity can usually set up fairly easily, using existing technology and staff resources with little to no additional cost.
What's more, for towns and counties that don't have websites, my agency – the state Comptroller General's Office – is more than happy to assist them with guidance on how to set up a transparency page.
And for some local governments, we could possibly provide support to get them started. If they would email their check register files to my office in a standard format, we could create a spending transparency page for them, as part of my agency's S.C. Fiscal Transparency Website, until they're able to set up their own websites.
For example, that's what we did for the City of Chesnee beginning in 2010. The city's finance director emails monthly check register files to my office and we post them. You can see the records at: http://www.cg.sc.gov/localgovspendingtransparency/Pages/cityofchesnee.aspx.
When I launched the S.C. Fiscal Transparency Website in March 2008, it featured the details of spending by state agencies. Then over time we expanded the site to include spending of the state's federal stimulus funds, the school districts in South Carolina, and our state-supported colleges and universities.
We keep working to add local governments to our site, in an effort to establish a central transparency location for South Carolina's cities, counties and towns. There's progress. We recently added links to Greer, Rock Hill, North Charleston, Manning, Forest Acres and Beaufort County.
That brings us up to 12 counties and 20 municipalities. But there are many more than that in South Carolina.
Under state laws passed in 2009 and 2011, respectively, school districts and public colleges in South Carolina actually are now required to post their check registers and purchasing card statements online, although many already had begun to do it voluntarily because they knew it was the right thing to do.
Local governments in the state are not yet required to do so, although some are really out front in setting the right example for other local governments in the state.
Recently, the cities of North Charleston and Rock Hill – along with Aiken and Anderson counties and the school districts of Beaufort County, Pickens County and York County 3 (Rock Hill) – received Sunny Awards from Sunshine Review, a national nonprofit that encourages government transparency.
I congratulate our seven local government entities for their commitment to transparency. And while I don't necessarily think we need a state law mandating transparency for local governments, I encourage the rest of our cities, counties and towns to join this worthy movement.
Your local government might be more responsive to your voice, though, if you'd combine your voice with ours in this cause.

Georgia I'm curious. I use the cheap Verizon case with the lattice like design and the kickstand that allows you set it up portrait. It does nothing for actual protection but I enjoy the viewing feature. Are there any cases that do exactly this but with more protection?
Seidio CONVERT Combo case for iPhone 5
I saved the donuts. I had my iPhone 5 in my hands, and a box of donuts, and everything began to fall, and I saved the donuts, and my iPhone 5 screen shattered. Apple replaced it for me, but it was expensive, and if I'd been using a case (or if I valued donuts less!) I could have avoided the cracked screen, the cost, and having to tell you this story now. But I didn't, it did, and I do. Sigh.
So now I'm looking for the perfect case to protect my replacement iPhone 5 without getting in my way about it. First up is the Seidio CONVERT Combo for iPhone 5.
The Seidio CONVERT Combo for iPhone 5 is actually two cases in one. First, you get the Seidio SURFACE case for iPhone 5 which is a two part hard case with soft-touch coating that provides pretty good protection all its own. There's even a screen protector to ward away scratches. Second, you get a rugged skin and skeleton which turns the protection up several notches with a silicone outer shell and plastic frame that keeps out pretty much everything you'd want to keep out.
Topping it all off is the the Seidio holster. As much as I make fun of holsters, this one is actually pretty cool and locks securely in place.
It's a two piece case with a soft inner layer and hard out layer. You can use the inner layer separately if you really want to, but for maximum protection you'll to use both.
Most of the time I'd personally stick to just the SURFACE part of the case, but I like the option for the added protection for hiking, camping, skiing, and, you know, donut carrying.
If you value protection but also want flexibility, check out the Seidio CONVERT Combo case for iPhone 5.

Seidio CONVERT Combo case for iPhone 5
Sure are. Seidio Active with metal kickstand.
No support for portrait on that one.
Says who? Just because it doesn't explicitly state "portrait" support, does not mean that it won't work just fine. Here's a video showing the case standing in portrait mode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlPeQtVnj5g (GASP!)
This is a good case. The phone is meant to carry in the belt holder face toward the holder, to protect the screen. The screen protector is one of the better types. The belt holder can swivel, so you can wear it side mount. The belt holder has a slide type lock to keep the phone in place, I find it easy to unlock it with one hand. The only con, is the camera cover. It does not always fit in the open position, and can get in the way but is better than the first design, that went to the side, instead of down. A little pricy, but still a good case if you work outdoors. I like it better than the otter box defender style case.
Can you make it a deal of the day ;) I have the Seidio Active case (Amethyst) and I do like it except for the bottom. There is a thin rubber area across the bottom that is very flimsy so the bottom of the phone is not really protected especially when you try to plug in the lightening connector. As for the Convert...wish they came in more colors, but I could live with the sand :)
Um, yeah, Georgia, the phone goes in the holster the other way.
I have the Surface case and I like it a lot. One thing about cases is some of them have cutouts individual for the headphone port, grills, and lightening connector. Some people will find those cutouts aren't large enough for some accessories, for example, the lightening to 30-pin adapter. The Surface part of this Convert case is completely cutout at the bottom. A little less coverage at the bottom, but basically completely compatible with anything that needs to plug in the lightening connector.
The Convert is hideous for anyone who is a minimalist case freak (like myself), but the Convert is a nice to have add-on for when you feel you need protection. I agree with Georgia. I would mostly only use the Surface.
Good review. Except for the part were you're using it wrong.
I just got this case, the silicone is much better feeling in quality compared to my old Otterbox Defender for iPhone4. This case is really a stop gap for me until I get my Lifeproof case, but it's a great case for the money! I got mine for like... $27 from Amazon.com. My only real beef with this case is the stupid lens cover, it does nothing but get in my way so I just ripped it off.

Making the Change: Music education hubs and professional music organisations
Tuesday, 15 May 2012 from 10:30 to 16:30 Barbirolli Room, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Category: Events
Posted by: markpemberton
At a time of rapid change in the delivery of music education in England, this one day conference, hosted by the Federation of Music Services and the Association of British Orchestras, will bring together music services and professional music organisations to look at how to maximise the role and impact of the professional musician within music education hubs from September 2012. What will successful partnerships look like, how do we ensure high quality music education across the country, what do we mean by value for money, and how will Arts Council England manage the hubs? These and other questions will be answered at what will be a crucial moment in the creation of the new music education hubs. Book at http://makingthechange.eventbrite.co.uk/.

Arizona Wildcats
Cat Tracks: UA wins wild Pac-12 opener
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a football game. So, we give you 'Cat Tracks', providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from Arizona's January 3 overtime win over Colorado. Final score: Arizona 92, Colorado 83 (OT).
The Good:
Arizona showed its ability to comeback Thursday night.
After falling behind 30-13 in the first half, the Wildcats charged back with a 14-4 run to cut Colorado's halftime lead to 34-27. UA pulled the trick again the second half, when after trailing by 10 with 3:14 to go, found a way to force overtime.
The comeback was not without controversy. Colorado's Sabatino Chen appeared to have the game won with a three-point shot just before time expired. The ball looked to be out of Chen's hand before the clock hit 0:00, but upon review the shot was waved off.
UA had all of the momentum going into the extra session, scoring 12 of the game's final 15 points.
Kevin Parrom did his best to provide support off the pine Thursday night. The senior forward had 16 points to go along with eight boards.
The Bad:
Arizona made non-conference play look easy, racing out to a 12-0 record and claiming the Diamond Head Classic title.
The Wildcats didn't look as comfortable when conference foe Colorado came to the McKale Center Thursday night.
Almost 16 minutes in, UA found itself down by 17, after beginning the game 2-of-17 from the floor.
Mark Lyons hit some clutch free throws down the stretch, but he was 6-of-16 from the floor against Colorado. His backcourt mate, Nick Johnson, wasn't much better going 2-of-11 from the field.
� Since joining the Pac-12 Conference in 1978-79, UA is 12-0 in conference openers played in Tucson.
� With a win over Colorado, the Wildcats are three games shy of tying the 1931-1932 UA team that began its season 16-0.
� Arizona still remains one of four unbeaten teams remaining in Division 1, joining Duke, Michigan and Wyoming.
� UA is now 2-2 against Colorado since the Buffaloes joined the Pac-12 last season.
Coming Up Next:
Arizona continues Pac-12 play in Tucson against the Utah Utes on January 5 at 3:00 p.m. Arizona time.

Unfortunately, the dehydrator had one fruit leather liner missing from the box, but I didn't notice that at first. I used it immediately to dry some cherry tomatos, and the motor appeared to stop working after a few hours. Customer service was exemplary, sending me out a new dehyrdrator immediately, and gave me a label by email to print out for free return shipping. The replacement dehydrator came quickly, and had all its parts. I've had no problems whatsoever with the motor, and I've used it several times to dry tomatos. (I had a bumper crop this year.) All in all, it appears to have been a good buy, and I know I've barely skimmed the surface of its potential uses.

HiSET/GED Definition
The General Educational Development (GED) Test is designed for people who, for various reasons, did not graduate from high school but want a certificate equivalent to the traditional high school diploma. The 2014 GED Test is administered on a computer at an authorized Pearson VUE Testing Center. The GED test will be about 7.5 hours long with the timing for each module as follows:
- Reasoning through Language Arts is 150 minutes (including a 10-minute break)
- Mathematical Reasoning is 115 minutes
- Science is 90 minutes
- Social Studies is 90 minutes
Many examinees are able to pass the test battery without special preparation. However, a number of GED instructional programs in the Bay Area offer a practice test to those who have questions about their abilities to pass the real test. GED preparation classes are offered at various City College campuses free of charge to potential examinees.
Currently, the GED Test is given in English. Modifications and special accommodations for learning or physically disabled students can be provided with advance arrangements with the Chief Examiner and with State GED approval.
According to the American Council on Education, among the many benefits of the GED program, passing the GED Test provides an apportunity for adults to continue their education. In fact, 93 percent of colleges and universities accept GED graduates who meet their other qualifications for admission. A GED diploma documents that you have high school level skills. About 96 percent of employers accept the GED diploma as equal to a traditional high school diploma.

With Carroll County's boys' basketball team off to the best start in school history, it's only natural to wonder how this year's squad would fare against some of the greatest teams of Cavalier past.
Unquestionably atop that list is the 1978-79 team that finished 24-2, won the regional championship and made the first of two consecutive trips to the state's final four. Led by 6-7 junior Pat Sharp and 6-6 senior Terry Edwards, the Cavaliers not only had height that most teams simply could not match, they also outgunned opponents with perhaps the best backcourt in school history with talented guards such as Steve Dowdy, Len Conner and Terry Dalton.
Possibly the only thing more impressive than the team's margin of victory of 18.2 points per game was the enormous afros many of the Cavaliers proudly sported back then. And while disco was king off the court, Carroll was dancing all over teams in the gym.
"To me there is no comparison," said Gene Hawks, then a student at CCHS and now a local referee. "We talk about kids today getting bigger and stronger and playing above the rim, but the school mile and 100 (meter) records are still held by kids from 1979. Pat Sharp and Terry Edwards were first-team All-State and Players of the Year in the region. Terry was Player of the Year in his conference at UVa-Wise, and was an Academic All-American. Steve Dowdy played college ball. Pat Sharp played at Western Carolina, and Len Conner was one of the best athletes ever to come through Carroll County, going on to play college football at Wake Forest. And Tim Tolbert still has the mile and two-mile records at Carroll County."
Indeed, Sharp would go on to grow to 6-8 and be a major force at Division I school Western Carolina. During the 1978-79 season, he averaged 19.6 points and 11.4 rebounds, while Edwards would score 20.3 points and grab a then-school record 12.6 rebounds per game. The duo went off in a 111-86 win over Narrows, with Sharp scoring 21 points and hauling in 23 rebounds and Edwards going for 33 points and 14 boards.
The team was so dominant it averaged 77.3 points per game without the benefit of the 3-point shot and shot 52 percent from the field as a team…for the entire season. Even though Sharp admits to not taking in a Carroll basketball game this year, he said it is hard to compare teams separated by 34 years.
"It's a different style of basketball, not the same that was played in our generation. And the competition was tougher then. The New River District at that time was probably the premier district in the state," Sharp said. "Somebody from the New River District was in the semifinals or finals several years in a row from the mid-70s to almost the mid-80s because you had George Wythe that played in a couple of state championships in the mid-80s. Blacksburg was good, Giles was competitive, Narrows, Galax, the list just goes on and on."
Indeed, the current version of the Southwest District is a far cry from the old New River District, which featured a 16-game schedule with nine teams in 1978-79. Those teams also had the edge in fan attendance. Folks from that generation swear you had to get to the gym at the start of the JV game if you wanted a seat for the varsity contest, and the bleachers were packed to the rafters.
With a margin of victory of 22.1 points per contest after 18 games, the current Carroll team is slightly ahead of its former counterparts. And there are some common opponents to compare as well in Pulaski, Radford, George Wythe, Christiansburg and Galax. This year's Carroll team has beaten Pulaski by an average of 23.5 points in two contests, while the 1978-79 team bounced the Cougars by an average of 11 in two games. It should be noted that Pulaski County was a AAA school at that time, however.
The 2012-13 Cavaliers also beat George Wythe by 29 points compared to an average of 20 points 34 years ago. The current Carroll squad also beat Radford by 10, Christiansburg by nine and Galax by an average of 20 points, compared to the 78-79 club's average of 11 points in wins over Radford and 26.5 points over Christiansburg in two victories.
The 1978-79 team previously held the school record for best start with a 9-0 record before losing a 73-71 heartbreaker to Galax in which Marc Quesenberry scored 48 points. In the rematch, Carroll obliterated the Maroon Tide 88-57, holding Quesenberry to 32 points.
"I am friends with Marc Quesenberry and he was a pretty special high school player," said Len Conner. "He only got 32 against me. His average was 33.3, so I tell everybody I shut him down."
Granted, those old New River teams were a lot stronger back in those days, making a comparison between eras hard to do. But after the loss to Galax, Carroll County would go on to win its next 15 games, including four wins over fellow NRD-power Blacksburg to claim the first district and regional championships in school history.
The current Carroll County team has plenty of size with Lucas Holder, Tyler Lineberry and Duncan Reece all measuring in at around 6-6 and Austin Horton and Cody Keith at about 6-4. While it has much frontcourt depth, so too did its 1978-79 elders. Aside from Sharp and Edwards, that team also had talented big men in Tolbert at 6-3 and Ray Snow at 6-4, averaging 6 and 3.8 points, respectively.
Both teams could go big or small, depending on matchups, and both were able to play a fast-paced style or slow it down. The current Carroll team has great guard play with returning district player of the year Ryan Gravley, along with Gunner Beamer, Connor Lundy and Chris Smoot. Like this team, the 78-79 squad had a fantastic guard in Dowdy that averaged 14.1 points per game and would go on to score over 1,000 career points. Combined with Conner (8.4 points, 108 assists), Carroll had a great backcourt then along with an up-and-coming sophomore guard named Terry Dalton that would go on to be one of the best pure shooters to ever come through Carroll County, and Ricky Hawks.
While the 2012-13 Cavs punish most opponents with a devastating press, the guard play and height of the team from 34 years ago would have rendered the press moot, most believe.
"People tried to press us and we didn't have any trouble with it," Sharp said. "We were a matchup problem for everybody. But the biggest thing is it was just a different style of basketball then. We didn't have the 3-point line in those days."
Added Tolbert, "The times we were pressed they weren't very effective. We had a pretty effective press breaker and could pass over it because of our size. We played Pulaski and they pressed the entire game with two squads of people, running in five and then five more, but they didn't give us too much trouble."
Tolbert, now an attorney in Hillsville, said Carroll was fortunate to have Sharp and Edwards on the same team, who he called two of leading players ever to play at CCHS, along with one of the best point guards in school history in Dowdy.
"Then we kind of filled out the starting lineup with Len Conner, myself and Ray Snow. There was just a lot of size and a lot of talent on that team," said Tolbert, a senior on that team. "We weren't the fastest team in the world, but we were certainly the tallest in the New River District at that time. And it was a lot of very good rivalries with Blacksburg and Radford, which were always really good back then, as well as Galax with Marc Quesenberry. He was the leading scorer in the state his senior year. He scored more points per game than Ralph Sampson."
Perhaps one little lesser known aspect to Carroll's success in those days was its work ethic. Believing the statute of limitations to be up on VHSL violations, Tolbert let The Carroll News in on head coach Dave Bentley's grueling practice schedule.
"We had an athletic study hall starting at about 2:30. It wasn't uncommon to practice from 2:30 until 7. Then in the preseason we practiced all day," Tolbert said. "They put paper on the windows. I don't know if that was because of rules or not. The summer before we probably played 30 basketball games against other teams like John Battle, Tennessee High and William Byrd. We played them multiple times and we would play eight or 12 quarters. It was a full-time job."
Conner jokingly says Tolbert must have left early for some practices because he remembers many going longer.
"Some of the things they did back then, I don't think it would pass under VHSL rules anymore. The most I have practiced for anything was for basketball in those days," Conner said. "But I think we were a pretty good team. We put a lot of hard work into that team."
After graduating in 1979, Edwards followed Bentley to play college basketball at Clinch Valley. Ironically, he said college practices at the Wise school were less grueling than those old CCHS practices under Bentley.
"It was pretty brutal. I never appreciated a drink of water so much as I did playing for Coach Bentley," Edwards said. "I always told people our practices in college were easier than they were in high school. I told Coach Bentley that and he said in college a lot of players come with the basics already there, and you don't spend as much time on basics."
Perhaps Bentley's coaching style came from his first season at West Point, where he played on the freshman basketball team for Bobby Knight, long regarded as one of the toughest coaches in the profession.
"I don't know if that is the case or not," Bentley said when asked if Knight influenced his coaching style. "I will let others judge that."
Conner said having two players at 6-7 and 6-6 in the low post was unheard of for a team from this area in those days. Aside from the long practices, he said Bentley gave the team advantages over other squads because of his own work ethic.
"I guess the biggest thing was our coach used to scout the other team. I've always had coaches do that in football, but I had never heard of scouting the other team in basketball. That was a big advantage," said Conner. "Bentley used to have a plan for every team that we played that year. One of the biggest things I remember was our defensive goal for a particular game. For Blacksburg we wanted to keep them to 52 points, but Narrows, our defensive goal that year was to try to keep them at 80 points. We could play fast or we could play slow. He pretty much had every game lined up for us that year."
A press would have been fruitless against that team, Conner said, remembering the time the Cavs hung 111 on Narrows when it employed the pressure.
"The biggest difference in my era and their era has got to be the 3-point shot. I don't know if we could have competed in this era as well as we did in that era because of the 3-point shot. It is a great equalizer, but I think I would like to have tried it," said Conner. "Terry Dalton didn't play that much that year, but he would have benefitted in his time from the 3-pointer."
Connor called himself a small cog in the wheel that was the 1978-79 Carroll basketball team. But it is a time he will always cherish, especially for the values Bentley instilled in that group.
"A lot of that shaped the way I look at things in life by the way we practiced and played and were coached. Bentley was a pretty good mentor about discipline," Conner said. "I took all that with me in life. It helped me when I went on to play football in college."
A coach's perspective
Under Bentley's tutelage, Jeff Reynolds began a long and illustrious career with his very first coaching job as an assistant with the 1978-79 CCHS team. After two years as an assistant, he became the head coach for one season at Carroll. From there, he went on to become a graduate assistant coach at James Madison University, beginning what is currently a 31-year college coaching career that has led him to be the head coach at Wingate University for three seasons, and most recently as the head coach at the Air Force Academy for five seasons. Currently, he is the Director of Basketball Operations at Marquette University.
"I was very fortunate to be able to have been mentored by a guy that was so intelligent, so well-read, such a good basketball mind. He was probably ahead of his time and had a knack for getting the guys to play together," Reynolds said. "We had so much talent, but yet they played so well together and I think that is a compliment to Coach Bentley."
Reynolds said Carroll was extremely fortunate to have a unique combination of size with Sharp and Edwards, and great perimeter play with Dowdy and Connor, with Tolbert complimenting them.
"And then we had Terry Dalton, who might have been the most talented player of them all. He was a young man that was obviously a little younger than that group, but coming off the bench he could really score the basketball," Reynolds said. "Coach Bentley did an incredible job. Those guys were very talented offensively, but even better defensively."
After the Cavaliers won the first district title in school history, the team followed it up with a New River District Tournament championship before easily dispatching Grundy 69-54 and Blacksburg 71-52 in the regionals. Unlike today, there was just one state champion in each classification, and teams had to win their regional just to qualify for the state tournament. In the final four, the Cavaliers drew an incredibly athletic Suffolk team led by eventual University of District of Columbia star Michael Britt, who would go on to be drafted by the Washington Bullets of the NBA. Carroll led with three minutes to play, but eventually lost 62-59.
"Michael Britt was unbelievable. He led the Urban Coalition, which at that time was one of the best summer leagues in the country. All the NBA guys were in it and he led that league in scoring," Reynolds said. "The following year we played Martinsville in the final four. We weren't successful in that game either, but making it to two final fours was quite an experience."
If the Cavaliers would have beaten Suffolk, they would have faced Harrisonburg in the state championship game, led by future University of Virginia All-American and 7-4 center Ralph Sampson.
"There is a little bit of disappointment we didn't make it to the championship game to play against Ralph Sampson's team. That's not to say we would have won, but I felt we were good enough to get there," Edwards said. "That season had some ups and downs but we were pretty consistent. I remember the guys and I enjoyed the guys we played with. We got along good, and Coach Bentley and Reynolds pushed us awful hard even though we had some good talent. To get to 24-2 achieved most of our goals. It was pretty much everything I could have asked for."
After Edwards graduated, the Cavaliers went 18-7 the following year, again winning the regional with a 67-48 win over Blacksburg. That season Carroll County lost two games to nearby roundball powerhouse Oak Hill by a combined nine points (58-52 and 54-51).
Several more talented players graduated after that season, and Coach Bentley left to take over the basketball program at Clinch Valley, leaving preseason pundits to pick the Cavaliers to finish last in the New River District. Although it's comical now, Reynolds said he will never forget the conversation he had with then-CCHS Principal A.L. Noblett prior to his first and only season as Carroll's head coach.
"We had a group with Terry Dalton being the most talented, and also Kenny Meredith and John Weber. We were picked last in the New River District poll that year and we ended up winning it, but I will never forget the first day of practice," Reynolds said. "A.L. Noblett walked into the gym. We had graduated four or five really good players, been to back-to-back final fours, and Coach Bentley leaves. He walks in, balls are going everywhere, he looks at me and he said, 'Coach Reynolds, how is practice going?' I said it is going pretty well. I said, 'Let me ask you something Mr. Noblett. What would you say if I told you we probably wouldn't win a district game?' He looked at me as serious as he could be and he said, 'That would be okay coach, but I sure as heck would miss having you around.' And he was serious."
Now retired from coaching, Bentley said he thought we he lucky to have great assistants at Carroll in Jeff Reynolds and Hal Clary. As far as the talent on the team, opposing coaches answered that question in voting for the All-New River District team.
"I think we had an exceptional bunch of young men," Bentley said. "We had six different players get votes for all-district. I think that illustrates the quality of the young men we had. We had a bunch of hard working youngsters"
Another thing that helped that 1978-79 team go so far was the unprecedented amount of far support it received.
"The night before the regional championship, which was played at Virginia Tech, we stayed in a motel in Blacksburg and a big crowd of supporters showed up," Bentley said. "We had cheerleaders and fans, basically had a big pep rally in the parking lot of motel. We were blessed with a lot of support from people at Carroll County."
