What are the benefits of jailbreaking an Apple TV ? Right now the hassle really doesn't seem worth it
How to Jailbreak Apple TV 2 with Seas0nPass [Mac]
Seas0nPass is a new jailbreak utility designed specifically for the second generation Apple TV (2010). It's comparable to utilities like PwnageTool. I've used both and I personally find Seas0nPass to make the process much simpler when it comes to the Apple TV. Not only does it jailbreak 4.1.1 (4.2.1), it offers a pretty easy tethered boot mode as well. Hit the jump for a walkthrough on how to jailbreak the Apple TV 2 using Seas0nPass.
For this example, I'll be jailbreaking an Apple TV 2 running iOS 4.2.1 (4.1.1), which requires a tethered boot. Here is what you'll need in order to jailbreak your Apple TV -
- A Mac running the most current version of iTunes
- Newest version of Seas0nPass
- A micro-USB cable
Once you've got all the above, we're ready to start.
Jailbreak your Apple TV
- After you've downloaded Seas0nPass, open it and save it.
- Place it in your dock, you don't have to but I've done this as it makes it easy to access for tethered boots.
- Open Seas0nPass.
- First you'll want to click "Create IPSW".
- This process will take a second, but once it's complete, it will prompt you to plug your Apple TV into your computer via USB and boot it into DFU mode by holding down the play and menu buttons on your AppleTV remote for 7 seconds. You can tell it worked when the light on your Apple TV blinks rapidly. After that, it's ok to release the buttons. Make sure you don't have your power cable plugged in for this part.
- Seas0nPass will recognize that your Apple TV is in DFU and do the rest on its own. You'll see it open and restore in iTunes and navigate itself to the firmware bundle it created.
- If all goes as planned, you should get a message saying your jailbreak was successful. You can now move on to perform a tethered boot.
Perform a tethered boot
- Launch Seas0nPass again if you had already closed it out.
- This time choose "Boot Tethered".
- Seas0nPass will prompt you to connect via USB and put your Apple TV back into DFU again, same as earlier.
- After it performs a tethered boot, it will reboot in 10 seconds. In those 10 seconds, you'll need to reconnect your Apple TV's power cable and HDMI cord. (You can remove the USB cable now.) If you don't do it fast enough, don't panic. Simply repeat the tethered boot process.
- You should now be able to turn your Apple TV on like normal. You'll be guided through the setup again. This should only happen after your initial jailbreak, not every time you need to do a tethered boot.
The Apple TV is a little bit more friendly to a tethered jailbreak. You don't need to reboot it as much as you would an iPhone, iPad, or iPhone. I've set mine not to sleep and just use a screensaver as well. If you'd like to do that, simply to go "Settings" and change the sleep option to never. This is always nice if you want to be able to rapidly change inputs on your television. Give it a try and let us know how Seas0nPass works for you!

How to Jailbreak Apple TV 2 with Seas0nPass [Mac]
The biggest benefit is being able to run XMBC on it once it's jailbroken.
Yeah, that part kind of sucks. The downfalls of a tethered jailbreak. I just used my Macbook next to the tv, made it a lot easier.
Kindly tell me when the jailbreak apple TV 2 for windows is coming. Any expected dates.
Great write-up and information. Unfortunately I had trouble yesterday at the DFU stage and having Seas0nPass recognize DFU and perform Jailbreak. I'm gonna try a new microUSB cable and different Mac later. I even bought another ATV2 as well.
At only $99, the jailbroken ATV2 will be the perfect media center for every TV in the home. I love XBMC but am curious if we'll see a Boxee port on the ATV2 as well.
Ally, what would cause my seasOnpass to not enable the automated parts even though I told it to enable?
I've heard a few people say they had this issue. I'm assuming it's a setting on certain people's macs. I'd say e-mail firecore support and see if they know what causes that. otherwise, you can always manually navigate to that IPSW.
The jailbreak write-up is great! Thank you, Allyson. :)
I'm having the same issue with the 10-second "window of opportunity". I only have tried it once to do the tethered boot so far, but my new addition to the Apple family is definitely jailbroken. Seas0nPass really does make it extremely easy.
For those of you in need of the right cable, consider this: Before switching to the iPhone 3GS in 12/09, I used to have a BlackBerry Bold and I also tried a BB Storm very briefly several years ago. Besides plenty of miniUSB cables, I knew that I had one microUSB cable lying around somewhere and sure enough, I found it last night and it worked like a charm. :)
The moral of that story: Even if you don't happen to have a microUSB cable yourself, fret not and ask your friends if you can borrow theirs. You know, the ones with those non-Apple smart phones often times use standardized connectors. How ridiculous, I know! But maybe their treasonous actions can finally be put to some good use. :D
3- when it shows unrecogonized build error, ciqukly shutdown your iphone while its on apple logo by holding the home and sleep button.4- now go to extras and select IPSW of 5.0 and then just boot .it should work, i just did that. just remember use 5.0.1 to upgrade ur iphone on itune and use 5.0 to jailbreak
Hey, I am trying to jailbreak my apple tv 2 which I just bought on 6/20/11. I've tried it with greenpois0n since I don't want to have to install xmbc myself but that doesn't work and now I'm using seasonpass. It's currently downloading apptv2,14.38F30_Restore.ipsw. Should I be worried or even care about that? Please help! I've tried greenpois0n several times now and I've gotten it all the way through but I might have disconnected it too early after it said complete, since you're suppose to wait 40 seconds and now nothing works.
I just bought an apple tv and I am happy with most of the options it provides original non jail broken system. But right. I was wondering the options are on a jail broken atv2. Apparently there are may option to hang on to the media that was either bought or rented. You can save it on your computer and use all the media where you can send the media from your computer skipping the rental fees you would normally without the jailbreak. I have heard and read about the jailbreak and have yet to try it out for myself. The real question is..... Will itnwork or not
Cheers and good luck
Forget all this stuff you can buy an apple tv 2 thats jailbroken and has addons already intalled at www.movietvcube.com
Currently using Skelelton and works great for us! Definitely a standard part of a high quality website build

Five Horse Johnson prepping for overseas tourWritten by Jay Hathaway | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo blues-rock powerhouse Five Horse Johnson is preparing to tour overseas in support of its new album.
After an appearance at Toledo's Mainstreet Bar & Grill (formerly The Main Event) on June 29, the band will embark on a summer tour of Europe. The tour will begin July 13 at the Stoned from the Underground festival in Erfurt, Germany, followed by many more dates in Germany, Sweden, Spain, Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
The new album, "The Taking of Black Heart," provides what fans of the band have come to expect over the years — hard-driving blues-rock fueled by whiskey and heartbreak.
Singer/blues harpist Eric Oblander said the album was not part of the original plan for their next release.
"We've always had intentions of doing another record, and are actually in the works of doing a live record," he said. "We tried to record the live record on our last European tour, but the recordings didn't turn out the way we wanted them to, quality-wise, so we decided to do another studio album in the meantime."
"The Taking of Black Heart" was released in January by Small Stone Records. Small Stone has released five other Five Horse Johnson albums, starting with 1997's "Double Down." Prior to that, Five Horse Johnson recorded its first album, "Blues for Henry," with former Toledo record label Sin Klub Entertainment.
Over the years, Five Horse Johnson has made a bit of a name for itself across the U.S. and Europe. The group's music can be heard on several video game soundtracks — "MLB: The Bigs 2" and "Tony Hawk's Underground," for example — as well as television shows like "Sons of Anarchy" and "Dog the Bounty Hunter." Most recently, the song "Soul Digger" was featured in the Billy Bob Thornton movie "The Baytown Outlaws."
Five Horse has undergone many drummer changes since the beginning, but founding members Oblander, Brad Coffin (guitar) and Steve Smith (bass) still press on. They are now joined by ex-Big Chief guitarist Phil Durr, along with Clutch's Jean-Paul Gaster on drums for the album.
Oblander said the writing process for "The Taking of Black Heart" brought the band into new territory, as a common theme eventually evolved.
"Brad and I wrote together a lot. It's sort of a concept record. The whole thing is a cohesive piece. We decided it would be fun to do a storyline throughout the record. It gave us a chance to write about something other than booze and broads, which we ended up doing anyway."
"The Taking of Black Heart" is about a character known as Black Heart Baby, a prostitute who Oblander describes as a "mean chick." A Pecos Bill-type hired gun character is commissioned by a rich man to seek out the prostitute who broke his heart, then cut out her heart and bring it back to him.
"He has some misadventures along the way," Oblander said. "The last song is called 'Die in the River,' so you maybe know how it ends."
One track that stands out on the album is a cover of the Faces' song "You're My Girl (I Don't Want to Discuss it)." Five Horse was joined by legendary Cheap Trick vocalist Robin Zander, who took on the vocals.
"We decided we were going to do this Faces cover, which didn't really have anything to do with the concept of the record," Oblander said. "I think it was Brad who said, 'Hey, we should just call Robin Zander.' We have a connection to Cheap Trick, and we sent it through the grapevine that we wanted Robin to do this song, and it turned out that he is a big Faces fan. He [recorded] it all in his own studio, and sent us the tapes."
"The Taking of Black Heart" was recorded in Baltimore by J. Robbins (Jawbox, Government Issue) and in Detroit by Bill Kozy and Erik Maluchnik. The album is available through most major music retailers, including iTunes, as well as the Small Stone website, www.smallstone.com.

HAZARD — Dozens of articles, news reports, blogs, and even paranormal theories took place following a mysterious explosion in the sky over Perry County one year ago this month.
Several people saw what was described at the time as an explosion in the sky over Hazard. Though initial reports indicated a plane crash, no one saw a plane and no wreckage was ever found. Then reports turned to a possible mine explosion, though the fireball was seen in the sky, not the ground. Then everything from meth labs, to aliens, to cosmic phenomenon were all mentioned. But even now it is unclear just what happened over the skies in Hazard that night.
The first reports of the alleged fireball in the sky came in on the evening of Sunday, Dec. 10, 2011. According to witnesses the fire ball appeared to be located in the sky over the Dipsy Doodle Curve in Lothair. People from downtown to Lothair reported hearing a loud boom strong enough to rattle windows. When they looked up, fire and smoke were in the air and what appeared to be smoke trails.
Crews immediately responded, covering the massive area where the explosion could be seen. Eventually crews ended up in the Lotts Creek area after a helicopter searching for what was thought to be a plane crash found a heat signature in the mountains.
Crews continued to search this area until the early hours of the morning. The search resumed with the light of day where only a few burnt trees were found in the area of the heat signature. For those who saw the explosion, the area where they found the trees would not be in the same place, nor would it explain what they heard and saw.
The trees were found in the area of an old mine leading many to believe that had caught fire when gas combusted in the mine shaft. However, when the mine was investigated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, officials said that there was no way the shaft could have produced the explosion people saw over Hazard.
Even a year later no photos or videos of the event have surfaced, making it difficult to determine exactly what people saw. Detailed descriptions told to the Herald via social media and in interviews all seem to match, which lend to the theory that what many claim they saw that night was the same event.
A few days later, the news of the explosion had traveled around the state on news organizations and around the world on UFO blogs. Many of these blogs claimed that the explosion could have been an alien craft and called the sightings of the fireball UFO sightings. Several even claimed that there had been explosions reported in other parts of the state that had been reported to be sonic booms from Fort Knox that could have been related.
One man who is an expert in UFO activities in Appalachia said that if this were alien life, it does not fit any pattern he has ever seen. Kevin Lovern of Williamson, West Virginia has written two volumes on the subject of Appalachian UFOs called Appalachian Case Study: UFO. Lovern also maintains a blog where he comments on the latest sightings,` and a year ago he wrote about the event over Perry County.
In Lovern's post on the incident he says, "If anyone's going to confirm the existence of life outside of this planet, why not do it right here in Perry County?" He added that while this question is valid, his first thought was that the explosion was something much less extraordinary, like space debris.
"It is unusual that a UFO would actually explode," said Lovern.
Part of the reason Lovern has decided to follow the UFO sightings of Appalachia is the number of sightings in the area. "Over the years there has been a lot of UFO activity in Kentucky," said Lovern.
Despite this he said cannot say he believes that the explosion in Hazard was UFO related.
One theory that emerged was that of an extraterrestrial body coming to earth, though not the kind most people may think of. WYMT Meteorologist Jim Caldwell wrote on his What's on Jim's Radar? blog about the possibility of the explosion being a meteor.
According to Hazard Community and Technical College astronomy professor Jeremy Wood, the meteor theory is one he sees as being plausible. While larger NEOs, or near earth objects, are tracked and researched regularly, smaller meteors typically are not. NEOs could pose a threat to Earth if they were to be pulled into Earth's gravity and struck the planet, while meteors tend to be small and vaporize in the atmosphere.
According to Wood, he did not think the object was a NEO due to the fact that no damage was reported. "If it was closer to the ground and exploded, we would have had rocks hitting the ground," said Wood, adding that he believes it could have been a meteor called a bolide.
"A bolide is an exceptionally bright meteor," Wood continued. "It is brighter than the planet Venus and they are often associated with explosions, and they are also known as fireballs."
Bolides enter the Earth's atmosphere every day but often go unnoticed. Wood noted that often if they occur at higher elevations, any accompanying noise may not be heard, and if it is during the day the fire may not be bright enough to be seen.
Meteors and other celestial bodies often explode in the Earth's atmosphere due to the speed, friction, pressure, and heat that is created upon entry. If an object is the right size, it can be seen. Different meteor showers are happening near earth at all times of the year. During the early to mid-December two meteor showers are known to occur: the Pheonicid and the Germinid meteor showers. The peak of the Germinid Meteor Shower was on Dec.14 of last year, just four days after the explosion was seen in Hazard.
While many of the theories as to what the explosion could have been have been ruled out, many more remain. It is possible we will never know for sure what caused this boom, but the community remains curious.

Wind: 8 mph
last week's paper, Mr. Rayfield "respectfully disagreed" with Lt. Paul White's
quoted statement that "you can't ask them (constables) to be on duty and not be
armed." His attitude is actually quite disrespectful and represents just
another thoughtless kneejerk reaction to guns in general.
If he (the author of last week's article, "This is Vermont 2011, not Dodge City 1870") feels he can use his "brains, education, legal, persuasive and other resources to prevent crime" I urge him to step up!
Mr. Rayfield also expressed the notion that "if our constables are unarmed, we will attract the right people to the job." The present constables are educated businessmen who served in the military and continue to serve the community as volunteers on the fire department, ambulance and rescue squads. If that doesn't fit the description of the right people for the job with the right respect for life, please tell me what does.
Because someone recognizes the danger inherent in the profession and chooses to protect his or her life by being armed, people tend to make the usual stereotypical assumptions. There are people who choose to become peace officers for the right reasons. In fact, I believe that is true of the vast majority. Please give our law enforcement officers a little credit. They are trained to de-escalate volatile situations and use the appropriate amount of force, using a weapon only to prevent loss of life.
"In contrast to firearms," Mr. Rayfield mentions driver education, alarm systems, tasers and radar. As important as it is, driver education will not deter a criminal from a home invasion. Expensive alarm systems are meaningless if criminals know the troopers are 30 minutes away. Yes, tasers are very effective if the perpetrator is unarmed and within a 20-foot range. The presence of radar devices are protective to the public only because they may cause a thief to drive safely as he leaves with your belongings.
I urge one of the "right" people out there, who is willing to go through the training, who doesn't mind being subject to public scrutiny or getting up in the middle of the night, to run for the office of constable. It would make the lives of the present constables' families a lot easier.
Yes, this is Vermont 2011, but if we don't "speak softly and carry a big stick," we could become more like the Dodge City of 1870 that Mr. Rayfield fears.

Man is alienated from himself, from other persons, and from God, and as a result man has been burdened with absurdity. Absurdity ought to be understood in a dichotomous manner. Absurdity is experienced subjectively, such that the individual experiences it in an autonomous manner. The objective absurdity is the metanarratives of life. This would include a lack of ultimate meaning, incentive, value, and purpose.
Overcoming this alienation and the notion of absurdity, primarily objective absurdity, can only be done so by a divine telos.[1] It does seem that man lives his life as if he does have an ultimate meaning, incentive, value, and purpose. However, if God does not exist, then the absurdity is not only subjective but itreally is objectively absurd. The existence of a divine telos enables man to live a consistent life of meaning, incentive, value, and purpose. There is a reconciliation of man to himself, others, and God by overcoming this absurdity.

restock? size question
how different is size 00 and 0? thank you
will this jacket match the grey drew boot-cut pants you were selling this past fall/winter (2013-2014)?
jacket sizing
1) I purchased khaki collection pants, I want to make sure they will match this jacket. The tag on my pants says:
Will this match this jacket?
2) Normally I wear your small size or size 4 jackets, but always roll the sleeves. I want to try the petite since I am short (5'1") and the sleeves are always too long. But there is only a size 6 left and I'm afraid it will be too big. What else about the petite size differs than the regular, besides sleeves?

The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation called Thursday a big day for Ohio businesses.
According to released information, "actions today (Thursday) by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation will set in motion the distribution of $1 billion in cash rebates to Ohio employers, many of which can now also plan for additional savings through decreasing overall base-rates."
In Scioto County, 42 public employers are estimated to receive a combined total $810,320.
Included on the list are 15 schools and libraries receiving a total of $355,590 (Portsmouth City School getting the most with $74,610, and Sciotoville Elementary Academy seeing the least with $1,670), the city of Portsmouth receiving $214,460, Scioto County receiving $132,380, 17 townships receiving a total of $54,940 (Green Township getting the most with $15,270 and Union Township seeing the least with $350), New Boston receiving $25,610, three special districts (Northwest Regional Water District, Scioto Ambulance District, and Scioto County Regional Water Authority) receiving a total of $25,110, and three contract coverages (Otway Village, Rarden Village, and South Webster/Bloom Township Fire) receiving a total of $2,030.
According to information from BWC, "the amount each public employer will receive equals approximately 56 percent of their annual workers' compensation insurance premium. That premium is based on the size of their payroll and is modified by factors such as the type of work their employees do and claims experience."
"The Board's actions in providing a rebate and reducing base rates makes it a banner day for business in Ohio," Steve Buehrer, BWC Administrator/CEO said in a released statement. "We're pleased prudent management and smart investing at BWC are paying off, literally, for hundreds of thousands of Ohio's private and public employers."
According to BWC officials those receiving rebates should expect to see something at the end of June or early July.

45 Three isn't just a retail boutique with an odd name; it's a long-held promise given to the owner Staci Cain-Cates from the Old Testament book of Isaiah—a passage tucked away on a 2007 trip to France. It says: "Grant unto me according to Your riches in glory, tender mercies, treasures of darkness, and hidden riches, of secret places." Today, Staci and her staff keep that promise and hunt for midcentury/vintage treasures that spark conversation and tell stories from exotic roads traveled.

Gov. Nikki Haley signed an order Tuesday that will allow the City of Georgetown to apply for up to $1 million in grants to help pay to repair or replace public property damaged or destroyed by the Sept. 25 Front Street fire.
Mayor Jack Scoville said a list of damaged property will have to be compiled but he knows it will include things such as the Harborwalk boardwalk, melted street lights in front of the burned buildings, and damaged sidewalks.
"Luckily the Harborwalk did not receive a lot of damage," Scoville said. "This will be for almost any fire-caused expense to the taxpayer. The good news is most of the city's costs will be covered." Scoville said he is unsure if the grant will cover expenses such as overtime pay.

Ian Somerhalder Is Turning 34! What Does He Want For His Birthday?
It's hard to believe that Ian Somerhalder is almost 34, but some people just keep getting sexier with age! The Vampire Diaries star will turn another year older on Saturday, December 8, and though we were already planning to toast with champagne, Ian has a different sort of celebration in mind.
"This time of year is truly priceless for me," he wrote on the Ian Somerhalder Foundation website. "I'm so touched to receive physical gifts in the mail, [but] my heart tends to break a little when I think about the impact behind those items… the materials, manufacturing, packing, shipping, etc."
So what does Ian want in honor of the big 3-4? It's as selfless as it gets! "I have a back-up plan for those who simply cannot resist the urge to give a gift to both ISF and myself this birthday: donations! [They] fuel our resources to continue expanding and making change for the voiceless of this planet: our skies, seas, energy, habitats, and of course our furry friends."
So, what are you waiting for? Go make that contribution! We know we will. (We'll still drink that champagne, though.)

Earning acceptance into the graduate school of your choice feels good. Attending that graduate school free of charge, while also receiving a stipend, may seem too good to be true.
It is true, though, and we have the graduates to prove it. In just the past few years, we've put students into funded Ph.D. programs at prestigious schools like the University of Wisconsin, Michigan Tech University, Rutgers and North Carolina.
"I'm really pleased that our graduates with a passion for biology have had incredible success being accepted by some pretty high-powered programs," says Paul Pickhardt, Lakeland's natural sciences division chair. "If you pursue a masters or Ph.D. in biology, and you're applying to good programs, they will pay you to go to school."
We can help you get there
Whether your goal is to attend graduate school or land a job with your biology bachelor's degree, we will put you in position to succeed. We cover all the academic bases, guiding you through a wide array of classes ranging from genetics to molecular biology to chemistry and physics.
Lakeland's signature approach to education involves hands-on teaching and interactive learning. Our biology program is a testament to that, with application-based lab work that breaks the mold.
"In our environmental science courses, for example, our students go out in the field and do science as if they were actually professional biologists," says Pickhardt, a 2011 Underkofler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching award winner. "And across the curriculum, we try to emphasize that our labs aren't cookie-cutter like they are at other places. They're certainly not being taught by a grad student or teaching assistant."
Biology at Lakeland
From the ponds on our picturesque campus to the jungles of Belize, your biology journey at Lakeland College will provide you with opportunities near and far.
Every other May, a group of 10-15 Lakeland students travels to Belize for an interactive tropical biology course that emphasizes investigative research in a tropical rainforest. Students live in a lowland forest for nine days, plus study coral reef ecology on the reefs of Belize for a few days.
"If you asked all of the students who have made this trip, I think the response would be unanimous that it's a life-changing experience," says Pickhardt.
Snapshot of Success
Name: Phil Sontag
Hometown: Altoona, Wis.
Title: Ph.D. graduate student, environmental science
Business: Rutgers University
Some large, predatory fish contain dangerous levels of mercury, and if consumed in large enough quantities, they present risk to humans.
But how does the mercury get into the fish? How does it work its way across the food web? Why does its concentration increase with each move up the chain?
Those are some of the questions Phil is trying to help answer through his intensive graduate research.
"When someone talks about mercury poisoning from eating fish tissue, 95 percent of that is methylmercury, which is what I'm studying," Phil explains. "I'm focusing on the base of the food web, the concentrations in ocean water and how it enters phytoplankton and algae."
Eventually, Phil would like to be a professor at a large university, so he can continue his research while also teaching. But before then, adventure awaits. Next year he'll board a research ship bound for Antarctica, where he will study trace metals.
When Phil came to Lakeland, he started as an Exercise Science and Sport Studies major, but when he took a required general biology class, he quickly thought, "all right, I'm changing majors."
"I was introduced to phytoplankton, and everything just took off from there," he says. "Professor Paul Pickhardt is a really great guy who met with me to discuss papers, clarify things and explain things to me when I needed help. I got so much personal attention. You're not going to get that one-on-one treatment at a big school.
"I definitely think Lakeland prepared me for generating research ideas, and the critical thinking was a huge thing there. Lakeland was just a really good place for me, a place where I was able to imagine what I could do in the future."

Police: Man passed out drunk while stalking womanSeptember 12,2013By Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer
BENNINGTON — A man is facing criminal charges after police said he stalked an Arlington woman who said she was trying to stay away from him so she could maintain her sobriety.
Gerald V. Vaughn-Tifft, 54, of Sandgate, was arraigned Wednesday in Bennington criminal court on misdemeanor charges of stalking and driving under the influence of alcohol.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Jesse Robson, a trooper with the Vermont State Police, said he and another trooper were sent to Roy's Road in Arlington on Tuesday around 10:30 p.m. Police were told a "male stalker," later identified as Vaughn-Tifft was passed out in his truck near a woman's home.
Robson said he spoke with the woman who said she was an alcoholic. After eight years sober, she told police she had relapsed when she began drinking with Vaughn-Tifft until going to a rehabilitation facility Aug. 4.
After leaving the facility, she decided she didn't want to see Vaughn-Tifft because she is "being careful with her sobriety and feels as though his presence in her life would put her sobriety at risk," she told Robson.
The woman said she ran into Vaughn-Tifft unexpectedly at the Vermont State Fair on Sept. 7 and told him she was done with drinking and wanted him to leave her alone.
On Tuesday, she found she had a message on her answering machine from Vaughn-Tifft saying he loved her and was 100 yards from her home. The message caused the woman "substantial emotional distress" and she called police, Robson said.
Robson said police found Vaughn-Tifft passed out behind the steering wheel of his truck on a side street near the woman's home. Robson said he opened the door and, "smelled the strong odor of intoxicants and urine."
"It appeared to me that Gerald was waiting for (the woman) to arrive home. However, he passed out while waiting," Robson said.
A preliminary breath test taken around 11:40 p.m. Tuesday indicated Vaughn-Tifft's blood alcohol content was 0.122 percent.
The legal limit in Vermont is 0.08 percent.
Vaughn-Tifft, who pleaded innocent to the charges, was released without bail after his arraignment.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Inaugural Address
Download the Inaugural Address, which includes President Qayoumi's biography.
Watch the Inaugural Address
Thank you for the kind words. They leave me inspired and excited for the future. I stand before you today with an overwhelming feeling of honor, humility and privilege as the 28th president of San José State University. Moreover, I have a deep sense of commitment, responsibility and stewardship for this great university. I pledge to do everything in my power to justify the faith you have placed in me.
I am humbled by the presence of so many esteemed educational, civic and community
leaders. We are here to celebrate a moment of transition in the 155-year history of
this great university. While this may be a fleeting moment for San José State, it
is indeed a momentous occasion for me personally and for my family. It strengthens
my belief that our great nation is truly a land of opportunity. For where else can
the son of a carpenter with only an elementary school education from a war stricken
country like Afghanistan become the president of this historic and vibrant
I know that many in the audience today or your parents share similar stories, and that's what makes San José State such a unique and great university. For many, this university truly is the gateway to the American dream. San José State is fortunate to sit at the heart of one of the most powerful regions in the world. Silicon Valley has had an overwhelming impact on our planet for the past half-century. SJSU has not only powered this valley for the past 50 years, it has provided human capital for the region, state, nation and beyond for more than 150 years. It is difficult to overestimate San José State's contribution in this regard. I am profoundly honored to rejoin the Spartan family.
Faculty members: I applaud your intellectual curiosity and passion as you forge into new frontiers of knowledge. Students: You epitomize the rich diversity that is the future face of our world. Your talent, devotion and energy are sources of inspiration and optimism for all of us. Staff members and administration: Your selfless dedication and can-do attitude keep the wheels of the institution running, even in the most challenging times. We depend on your ingenuity and creativity to continually enhance the efficiency of this institution. Alumni and other friends: Your success is a continual point of pride for us. We thank you for your guidance, engagement and support. Civic, community and corporate colleagues, and other regional partners: Your depth of commitment in sustaining and enhancing the vibrancy of this valley is admirable. I pledge to you that SJSU will be a committed partner and a regional steward.
In short, the unbounded vivacity of our diverse student body, the strong courage of our faculty in its unwavering pursuit of excellence in teaching and research, and the genuine dedication of our staff in serving the university has been the cause of prior success. Just a few examples of our faculty's unwavering pursuit of excellence include: Professor Alice Carter and the animation program's innovative partnership with Dreamworks; Professor Natalie Batalha, NASA's Kepler Deputy Science Team Lead, who was involved in the discovery of two earth-size exoplanets; and Professor David Ebert and his colleagues at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, who identified four new species of deep sea sharks, which is critical to preserving biodiversity, the bedrock of healthy ecosystems. There are many more examples too numerous to mention. Together we must not only honor our past but also collectively create a bright future for our university, our region and beyond. Situated in this cradle of creativity, in this epicenter of innovation, our success will only be limited by our imagination.
Our Future Common Path
Inauguration ceremonies in American universities date back to the 17th century as a formal induction to the office and as a rite of passage. The roots of the word inauguration come from the Latin word "auguratio," meaning to predict the future by reading signs, or by interpreting patterns in nature, as was customary in ancient Roman times.
Today, given the tumultuous and fast-paced environment that we live in, anticipating the future is increasingly difficult. All we can say with confidence is that change is constant, endemic and necessary. Thus, the best way to predict the university's future is to create it ourselves. The role of a university president is to celebrate and preserve the covenant of the institutional tradition, while simultaneously serving as an effective leader for transformational change.
Since a university's traditional values serve to guard the status quo, the president is expected to be ambidextrous, in a sense, and maintain a delicate balance between the covenants of tradition, on one hand, and the transformation inherent within a community of diverse and dynamic individuals on the other hand. A world-class university will always hover between the states of being and becoming. As Benjamin Franklin stated, "When you're finished changing, you're finished."1 I, for one, am an optimist and believe that we are just getting started.
I have reason to believe that I am not alone in my optimism. Last fall, 49 town hall sessions were conducted with the hope that everyone in the campus community would share their aspirations for the future of the university. The campus input was analyzed, and the results were coalesced into guiding principles and strategic goals called Vision 2017. The principles acknowledge that San José State has a strong and unique sense of place, both physical and virtual, and that we endeavor to create a welcoming environment that fosters a sense of belonging and Spartan pride. Further, we acknowledge that San José State is an innovative, engaged learning community committed to preparing students with adaptive skills and knowledge for a global 21st century. The five strategic goals are interdependent, equally important and intentionally broad to guide a range of actions that will engage the campus in the pursuit of excellence. The five goals are: Spartan Pride; Unbounded Learning; Helping and Caring; Agility through Technology; and 21st Century Spaces. The unifying theme among these goals is the relentless pursuit of our students' success. Thus, our efforts focus on creating genuine learning experiences for our students by creating a robust, vibrant and healthy open learning ecosystem.
Vision 2017 Goal #1: Spartan Pride
Our Spartan Pride is built on a tradition of rigor, relentless intellectual curiosity, innovation, hard work, agility and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. A few examples that come to mind related to Spartan Pride include the tremendous growth in student involvement with the number of student organizations and the fraternity and sorority communities. Let me name one of our students who embodies our concept of Spartan Pride: JD Leadam. He won first place in the Silicon Valley Innovation Challenge this past December for his idea for a reusable, biodegradable water bottle made of a renewable resource, namely industrial hemp. Another example is Professor Eugene Cordero, who is breaking new ground on how to teach the earth sciences to youths with the Green Ninja project. Dr. Cordero has also been named a Google Science Communication Fellow. In short, the aim of Spartan Pride is to develop vibrant, safe and welcoming communities that create a sense of belonging and common endeavor.
The German sociologist Max Weber developed two models for communities. The first one he called "Gessellshaft,"2 which describes a relationship based on contractual arrangements that connect individuals with institutions through a set of defined roles and obligations. While this model identifies an important legal relationship, it falls short of describing the more intimate and powerful relationships that we all have with the university.
Weber's second model, "Gemeinshaft,"2 defines a community with a sense of belonging, solidarity and common purpose. It
is this latter model that describes our individual and collective roles in pursuit
of a shared vision. But the ideal is a simultaneous integration and embrace of both
models, for in this our individual roles in nurturing the spirit of community become
evident. The amalgamation of these models is my aspiration for San José State, and
I ask that it be yours as well. Further, it is important to build a sense of belonging
comingled with a deep respect for diversity. This will generate an environment that
stimulates learning, entrepreneurial endeavor
and scholarship.
Vision 2017 Goal #2: Unbounded Learning
Our Spartan Pride is connected to our commitment to unbounded learning. The core functions of a university are education, research and the pursuit of new knowledge. These functions, by their nature, imply change. A university's essential mission is one of transformation, i.e., transformation of the society it serves, the knowledge it seeks and transformation of the institution itself.
The need for such educational institutions, ones based on progressive notions of transformation and democratic exchange, was eloquently noted in 1779 by Thomas Jefferson when he described the importance of a national aristocracy of talent "without regard to wealth, birth or other accidental condition or circumstances" and "rendered by liberal education … able to guard the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens."3 Similarly, John Dewey advanced the notion that democracy is a learned activity. Since then, our society has become more complex and the demands and expectations placed upon the university have grown tremendously. But one thing remains: In today's society, the public university still plays a vital role in shaping our democracy. Moreover, the university is critical to social and economic mobility. Universities enhance our quality of life and build thriving communities. The public university really is for the public good. San José State students are making history and changing the world. The Olympics would not be the same without Yoshihiro Uchida. You cannot talk about 1968 without mentioning Tommie Smith and John Carlos' raised fists at the Olympics. Peter Ueberroth was the architect of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles and was voted 1984 Man of the Year by Time magazine. Theatre and Chicano studies have been influenced by the work of Luis Valdez.
The roots of a Western liberal education, dating back to the 17th century, are anchored in the trivium and quadrivium that is comprised of the seven competencies: grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music and astronomy. Coursework in the arts and humanities, in particular, teach critical and contextual thinking skills, ethics, civic responsibilities and communication competencies for all students, especially those in the applied professions. The arts and humanities also give students the underpinnings for responsible citizenship as well as greater career opportunities. Art enables us to escape the limitations in nature and empowers us to seek change through our imagination. It addresses permanent human concerns. Art is our fingerprint in the world. Art connects humans with their humanity.
Liberal education sharpens our judgment and builds our capacity for innovation. The individuals who can successfully manage ambiguity and are still able to make effective decisions in the face of chaos and incomplete information will be more successful in life than those who cannot. A liberal arts education enables one to take calculated risks, make intelligent choices and critically assess complex situations with flexibility without losing focus. The temperament and outlook acquired through a liberal education helps us see possibility in the face of adversity and helps us aspire to the highest of ideals with passion and commitment. Finally, a liberal education gives one a sense of social responsibility, the competency to apply knowledge and the capability to recognize systemic patterns.
In recent times, there has been a rise in the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics—otherwise known collectively as STEM. As with the arts, humanities and social sciences, obtaining STEM skills is also very critical for every college graduate. According to the Carnegie Foundation, "Mathematics and science are essential components of a liberal education, the backbone of logic and analytic thinking from early childhood through the most advanced levels of learning across the academic disciplines. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics enable us to understand the natural world, the built environment, systems of society and the interactions among them that will determine the future of our planet."4
Unfortunately, the STEM competency of students in the United States is one of the lowest among all developed nations. Over the next 10 years, five out of eight new jobs and eight out of the 10 highest paying positions in the U.S. will be in STEM-related careers. Thus, many experts advocate a deeper and more effective integration of STEM as part of a liberal education. Other critical proficiencies that students need include imaginative problem solving, social dexterity and the ability to connect seemingly unrelated sets of ideas in order to discover new insights. Students, therefore, should have ample opportunities to experience real-life problems and challenges. That is where internships and service learning can serve as effective educational vehicles. Such programs help students build character, social responsibility and citizenship, skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives.
San José State needs to offer more interdisciplinary courses and programs. For
the sake of our students, the foundation of our educational efforts must become interdisciplinary. One recent example of the importance of interdisciplinary
collaboration is Dr. Kevin Jordan's leadership in receiving a historic $73 million grant from NASA Ames for Collaborative Human Systems Integration Research.
Dr. Jordan is a faculty member in the psychology department. Many think of his work as space and science, when it's really human thinking, sensation and mental information processing.
E-learning is another essential educational aspect for the future. E-learning fosters
higher student achievement, improves critical thinking skills and increases career
opportunities for students. However, adequate IT skills are a prerequisite for
e-learning. That is why students must have the opportunity to develop increasingly complex technological competencies to successfully maneuver their way through today's world.
In recent years, the economic cost of distributing information has almost disappeared.
For instance, iTunesU has more than 150,000 lectures, presentations, videos and podcasts
available on an all-mobile platform. The MIT Open CourseWare initiative celebrated
its 10th anniversary last year, with more than 13,000 MIT courses available in several languages
and at no cost to anyone around the globe. The open courseware movement sparked similar
initiatives in more than 200 institutions around the world. Some of the major ones
in the U.S. include: Carnegie Mellon Open Learning Initiative, Harvard Medical School's
MyCourses, Open Yale Courses, Stanford Engineering Everywhere, etc.5 Consequently, the world has moved from a scarcity of knowledge to a level of abundance.
The university's monopoly on content is a thing of the past and the university's role
in merely distributing content has diminished profoundly. The rapid proliferation
and access to knowledge by anyone at anytime anywhere creates a fundamental shift
in the traditional role
of universities.
The availability of information has been a fundamental value of higher education. Nurturing and promoting a culture of openness as a core organizational competency is more important today than it has ever been in the past. In short, openness will be a determining factor as to whether a university can remain relevant not only to learners but also to society as a whole. Building an infrastructure that supports access to open educational tools and resources will greatly enrich student learning opportunities and improve innovation. The five key elements of an Open Learning Ecosystem are that it:6
- One: Requires innovative methods of teaching and learning.
- Two: Accommodates a very broad mixture of learning providers.
- Three: Removes the old divides between formal education and informal learning.
- Four: Uses transparent and strategic technologies where appropriate.
- And Five: Offers and delivers learning that is social, contextual and continuous.
Given recent technological advances, coupled with the unfortunate decline of state support for public education, the university sits in a position of real opportunity. We have to rethink, reimagine and reengineer teaching, learning and educational delivery systems. We have the opportunity to take the highest ideals of the liberal arts university into the global 21st century, and build the underlying infrastructure for a future of unbounded learning.
Vision 2017 Goal #3: Helping and Caring
To achieve the desired educational outcome for our students, as a university community we must build a culture of helping and caring. Genuine commitment is the prerequisite for realizing a culture of caring. Fostering a caring culture requires maintaining the delicate balance between being a value-based and outcome-based organization. Similarly, it is based on an obligation to assist both individuals and the organization in achieving their respective objectives.
The university's culture of helping and caring must extend beyond the physical boundaries of the university as we define our role within the region, state, nation and the world. One example of this is CommUniverCity, led by Professor Dayana Salazar, which has delivered over 100,000 hours of voluntary community service to the adjoining neighborhoods around the university. The importance of urban areas to the nation's economic vitality cannot be denied. The Brookings Institution found that the largest one hundred metropolitan regions in the U.S. constitute one-eighth of the nation's land mass but account for two-thirds of the population and threequarters of the economic activity.7 It behooves San José State to develop meaningful and long-term connections with our surrounding urban area. The trend toward more urbanization is increasing at a global level. According to a McKinsey report, by 2025 the top 600 world cities will have a population base of two billion, or 25 percent of the world's population, and will generate $64 trillion, or 60 percent of the world's GDP.8 The competency to be globally savvy must become one of the requirements of a college education. The idea of helping and caring, thus, starts within the university, but then must expand beyond the university's borders to encompass the surrounding area and indeed the globe.
Vision 2017 Goal #4: Agility Through Technology
While the tasks of unbounded learning and of helping and caring are daunting, we are aided by new technologies that can make us more agile. Never before in higher education has technology provided such important challenges as well as opportunities. According to the Gartner's review on the proliferation of technology:
- Roughly 30 billion pieces of content were added to Facebook in just one month.
- More than 32 billion searches were done on Twitter in a month.
- The average teenager sends more than 4,700 text messages per month.
- And more than two billion videos are watched on YouTube on a daily basis.
In addition, context-aware applications will become more prevalent and will enhance the quality of interaction for end users. According to EDUCAUSE, "Technology can now harness three new superpowers to drive exponential improvement in human capability in education: telepathy, total recall and communication with perfec fidelity."9 The same issue stated the impact of technology on higher education as:
- One: "Education will never be the same."
- Two: "Information technology can and should disrupt entrenched processes and facilitate new and better ways of working."
- And three: "The future of technology in higher education will be determined less by the technologies themselves and more by the leaders guiding the strategic use of these technologies."
In the past decade, we can see how technology has impacted many established sectors. For instance, how broadcast TV has been challenged by viral videos, newspapers by blogs, stores by retail commerce and photography by digital cameras. In the words of José Ferreira, founder and CEO of education startup Knewton: "The Internet disrupts any industry whose core product can be reduced to ones and zeros," and relating the Internet to education, he believes, "is the biggest virgin forest out there."10
These new technological developments offer new opportunities for San José State to improve organizational responsiveness and eliminate procedural obstacles through an advanced technology infrastructure. This can be achieved by building competencies and program delivery in areas such as: big data, gesture-based computing, information analytics, cloud security, mobile and immersive computing, content ecosystems, intelligent infrastructure and analytics for collaborative decisionmaking. Finally, technology must be utilized strategically to transform the learning process and propel increased innovation.
Vision 2017 Goal #5: 21st Century Spaces
The viral proliferation of technology, especially for the younger generation, has given rise to a concept called "attention economy." As stated by Nobel Laureate Herbert Simon, what information consumes is rather obvious. It consumes the attention of its recipients.11 Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention. This implies that the power is no longer in the hands of those who control the channels of distribution. The power is now in the hands of those who control the limited resource of attention. This insight must play a key role as we envision the 21st century spaces at San José State. As Diana Oblinger puts it:
"Learning is much more than accessing content. In the 21st century, learning is a complex blend of skills, competencies and the will to continue learning throughout life. These skills and competencies include the ability to think critically and solve complex problems, work collaboratively, communicate effectively and pursue selfdirected learning or metacognition."12
The traditional lecture-based classroom has created a new form of separation. Many students who are tech-savvy and have developed habits of utilizing technologies very effectively in many other aspects of their lives are forced to regress to an analog, low-tech environment when attending class. This is a growing factor in the reduction of the level of engagement and participation for these groups of students.
The type of learning spaces we create in the future can ameliorate or exacerbate this divide. To enhance student engagement and effectiveness in the learning process, we must drastically reduce traditional lecture as a form of education delivery. Instead, we need to build virtual educational spaces to which students have access on a 24/7 basis from anywhere. But it is important to keep in mind that while we will improve our virtual spaces, we will not sacrifice community. In fact, we seek to expand and enhance our definition of community.
Concluding Remarks
Our great nation was established based on grand ideas and ideals. We must seek creative ways to marshal that pioneering spirit, the unwavering belief in personal freedom, the incandescent passion for enlightened self-interest and our deep commitment to regional stewardship.
The recent economic calamity that everyone has experienced will serve as a reset after which new technologies, paradigms and systems will fundamentally reshape the economic landscape. In this era, universities that serve urban communities, like ours, have the opportunity to become prime movers of new and innovative ideas that will propel our economy forward. We must have the audacity of imagination and the courage of commitment to look ahead into the future with a resolute sense of urgency, purpose and destiny, despite the challenges of our times. Along this journey we will surely face setbacks and roadblocks. There will be situations in which everyone may not agree with every tactical decision. But we will continue to listen to all key stakeholders, be open and transparent in our decision processes and state differences with enlightened candor. This is the only way we can continue to transform this great university—step by step, block by block and brick by brick.
Colleagues and friends of San José State, let us ask ourselves: What kind of a university do we want to leave for those who will follow us? What progress must we make to open the doors of opportunity for our current and future students? Let us reclaim the Spartan spirit that founded this great university in 1857. Let us reaffirm our commitment to the principles of public higher education.
So let us begin a new spirit of commitment and engagement whereby the colossal financial challenges of today will dwarf in comparison to our collective resolve and tenacity. The strength of any organization is best demonstrated in the face of adversity. We must conquer the collective fear created by the uncertainty of the present global financial tumult and continue to build on our sense of common purpose. Our future success will build on the unbounded exuberance of our diverse student body, the strong courage of our faculty in its unwavering pursuit of excellence in teaching, learning, creative activities and traditional research, and the genuine dedication of our staff in serving the university.
Colleagues and friends of San José State University, I urge you to join me in making sure that the university's best days are ahead. As we celebrate the vitality and vivacity of this great institution, we must affirm our reliance in building human energy. Let us continue the journey together in pursuit of our shared vision of San José State as a world-class institution of higher learning and an exemplary regional steward. Let us collectively define San José State as:
- A place of globally savvy visionaries.
- A cradle of creativity and epicenter for innovation.
- A home for dreamers, innovators and high achievers.
- And a place that epitomizes Silicon Valley's magic.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool target Jorginho, 21, says he is happy to see out the season at Italian Serie A side Hellas Verona.
Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph has told the club he will happily see out his career ar Villa Park.
Sir Alex Ferguson has sensationally settled a string of old scores with a release of his controversial autobiography.
Arsene Wenger insisted Robert Lewandowski was lucky not to be sent off before he hit a late winner to leave Arsenal's Champions League hopes in the balance last night.
Midfielder Fabian Delph, 23, has opened the way for fresh contract talks at Aston Villa by revealing he wants to stay for the rest of his career.

Sir Alex Ferguson claims that he "mellowed a long time ago", instructing any doubters to consult those who played under him. It might be wise to wait for them to cool off first.

Roy Keane has accused Sir Alex Ferguson of not knowing the meaning of loyalty after the former Manchester United manager criticised him and other former players at Old Trafford in his new book.
The most withering criticism in Sir Alex Ferguson's book is reserved for the man who once embodied his will: Roy Keane. And, as Ferguson anticipated, Keane did not take it well.
It was 12 games in all competitions without defeat and, quite frankly, if you are going to lose then the Borussia Dortmund of 2013 are a far more palatable alternative than Norwich City or Crystal Palace, although that will be of no consolation to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) - The North Korean army is warning Washington that its military has been cleared to wage an attack using "smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear" weapons.
The threat from the unnamed army spokesman early Thursday is latest in a series of escalating warnings from North Korea, which has railed for weeks against joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises taking place in South Korea and has expressed anger over tightened sanctions for a February nuclear test.
The spokesman said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency that troops have been authorized to counter U.S. aggression with "powerful practical military counteractions."

This was my first pair of Triple Up 2.0 Shorts.

I'm 5'10" 165 lbs so naturally a Large would be fine in most cases. However, I get my workout/running/lounging shorts in an XL because I have a thicker thigh, plus the shorts shrink a little in length so they don't look ridiculous.

I bought a pair of these to use at the gym, both for playing basketball and also HIIT on the treadmill. These shorts are very comfortable, highly recommend.
