Bronze coin of Caracalla with Christian graffiti
Roman, early 3rd century AD
From Cyzicus in Asia Minor (modern Turkey)
The secret sect
This large bronze coin was minted at the Greek city of Cyzicus (Belkis in modern north-western Turkey) to provide small change for the local community. In common with the rest of the eastern parts of the Roman Empire this community spoke Greek. At this point of time it had developed into a form known as koine (the 'common' language). This Graeco-Roman cultural mix is reflected in this coin, which looks Roman in style and displays an image of the emperor, but has Greek legends. The coin was minted during the reign of the emperor Caracalla (AD 211-17). Caracalla is vividly depicted dressed in armour and carrying a spear.
This particular example has been abused by one of its owners - it bears a

Overall Experience
Fabulous Property!
October 08, 2015
Michelle at the Front Desk was amazing! From the moment we arrived, she saw to our every need. Rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet. The property is within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. This is by far the best IHG hotel we have ever stayed at.
Friendliest Staff

Everyone there was extremely helpful and accommodating. The nicest people in Denver!
Great Service

We had issues with another IHG hotel in the area and called the Staybridge at last minute. The staff was helpful and did everything they could to accommodate us. The breakfast bar was good and the breakfast service staff keep everything stocked and clean. Our rooms were fantastic. Quiet, comfortable beds and pillows. This motel is right in the heart of Northfield shopping area where we spend a lot of time when we visit Denver. We have stayed at the other IHG property for years, we are moving all of our business to the Staybridge! This would make a fabulous long stay destination.
Exemplary staff

We had driven 9 hours by the time we checked in. We were in our room and relaxing within fifteen minutes. The temperature in the room was very comfortable and fresh. The staff was wonderful and very attentive to our needs. A need for a wheel chair came about unexpectedly and it was provided for us within minutes.
We would most certainly stay there next time.

ive heard great things about them ..ive got a ppi bk800.4 that i been waitin to install on my audioque 6.5 pro audio n supertweets..should be loud
I had a good experience with this amplifier. No issues whatsoever. It's small and light for its power output. It never got hot even during the summer. It was driving a subwoofer with a couple of bridged channels and it could hit some nice lows. The power terminal is large enough to accept 4awg wire, which is nice. (my previous 4-channel amps for some reasons had issues with this). The crossovers are versatile enough to bi-amp a set of component speakers if you don't need a BP/HP setting above 4KHz@12dB. Although, what I really liked is the ability to turn off crossovers, as I normally prefer to set that on the head unit.
Do all the precision power amps have the so called noise issue or only the p900.4?
I'm particularly interested in the bk1800.1D

PPI BK seem like nice amplifiers too. PPI is my favorite budget amplifier brand. And their PC series are supposed to be _very_ good, and not just for the price, but without breaking bank. I would recommend to simply pick the one that simply meets budget, installation, and power requirements.
MMATS being compared to these? Ehhhh I wouldn't go that far with it... Id put them up against MBQ or some of the other budget lines

- Can I get a copy of my file?
I received a Student Conduct Referral, what do I do now?
Student Conduct Referrals are issued to students when a University Police Officer believes that student may have violated the Code of Student Conduct. As it indicates on the bottom of the Referral, the student must contact the Office of Student Conduct at (919)515-2963, within the next two business days to schedule an appointment. Back
What happens at the appointment?
For non-academic charges the first thing that will happen is that you will have a conversation with one of the staff in the Office of Student Conduct or staff from University Housing. In this initial meeting you will have an opportunity to share your side of the story and ask questions about the process. During this initial meeting, a decision will be made as to what process will be used to resolve the charges.
For cases of alleged academic misconduct the first contact will be with the faculty member of the class in question. That faculty will facilitate a conversation and present the student with a series of options: to accept responsibility and sign a form accepting sanctions, to deny responsibility and utilize the hearing process, or to delay the decision until the student has had an opportunity to talk to the staff in the Office of Student Conduct to better understand their rights and options. Back
How do I prepare for my meeting?
There are different types of conduct review processes, but the preparation is similar. Students are expected to be sincere and tell the truth. An organized and sequential telling of the story and presenting of evidence or information is most helpful. Disciplinary Conferences are more informal by definition and generally do not require a formal presentation. Typically a focused and honest conversation is sufficient to resolve these types of cases. The same is true for students who choose to accept responsibility and sanctions for a violation through a Mutual Agreement.
Resolution through a Conduct Board or Administrative Hearing is a more formal process. It is expected that students participating in either of these processes make a coherent presentation. This includes the presentation of any witnesses or documents required for a full understanding of the facts of the case. Students who choose to participate in a Conduct Board Hearing are provided a Student Assistant to help organize materials and instruct the student regarding procedures that will be used during the hearing. The Student Assistant does not represent the student they are working with. The student is expected to present their own case. Students who choose to participate in an Administrative Hearing will work with a staff member from the Office of Student Conduct to help them prepare for their hearing. Back
My Professor has accused me of Academic Misconduct, what should I do?
First, tell the truth. If you did what the Professor is accusing you of, then be candid and truthful. You still have an opportunity to prove to the faculty member that you have some integrity. If this is the case, then you will have a conversation regarding appropriate sanctions for this behavior. If you did not commit academic misconduct, then tell the faculty member that, and never say that you did commit an act simply because that looks like the easiest way to resolve the matter. The faculty member will use a form distributed by the Office of Student Conduct, called Report of an Academic Integrity Violation. There is a section on the second page of the form that talks specifically about student rights. Please do not sign the form if you do not understand your rights or the implications of signing the form. Back
Why do I have a hold on my records?
There are many reasons why the Office of Student Conduct may place a hold on a student record. Among these is:
- the student has not contacted this office to resolve outstanding charges
- the student was instructed to get additional information or materials to this office and has not complied
- the student has not completed their sanction by the due date for that case -the student may currently be either suspended or expelled
- the student may be under Interim Suspension
Will my parents find out about this?
In general, parents of a student less than 21 years of age will be notified of a second offense of the alcohol policy and any violation of the drug policy. First offenses of the alcohol policy may result in notification as well, depending on any aggravating circumstances of the incident. Students may choose to sign a release, giving permission for staff in the Office of Student Conduct to have contact with their parents. This is often helpful when students are facing the possibility of suspension or expulsion from the University and are trying to make plans for their immediate future. Most often it is the student who shares this information with their parents. This is a position that we actively encourage. Parental support is a key ingredient in a student's long term success, no matter what the disciplinary outcome. Back
I received a Citation for County Court, why do I have a Student Conduct Referral too?
There are some behaviors that could be a violation of the law as well as a violation of University Policy. Receipt of a Student Conduct Referral is an indication that the alleged behavior may have some type of connection with the University, and therefore, needs to be reviewed by staff in the Office of Student Conduct. Back
Will this have an effect on my financial aid or scholarship?
It is possible that disciplinary procedures could ultimately have an effect on either financial aid or scholarships. In order for students to qualify for financial aid, students must be enrolled and making specific academic progress in a degree seeking program. Students who are suspended or expelled are obviously not making any academic progress at that time. Many scholarship agencies have expectations regarding the behavior of their recipients. Athletic scholarships and academic achievement scholarships could both be affected by disciplinary action. If you are receiving financial aid or are on scholarship, and you have disciplinary action pending, it is important for you to talk with the appropriate representative of the office dispersing the funds. Back
No. Attorneys may play a role in the process, but the only person who represents you is you. Legal counsel may assist you in preparing your presentation or comments. In either a Disciplinary Conference or a Hearing, your attorney may be present as an observer if you have pending parallel criminal charges. There is usually an opportunity to consult with counsel at some point in the process, but this on-going assistance may never interfere with the procedures being used to resolve the outstanding charge. Back
What are my rights in the Student Judicial Process?
Please contact the staff in the Office of Student Conduct with specific questions. For a breif listing of your rights and responsibilities as part of the Student Disciplinary process, please click here. Back
How do I appeal this decision / sanction?
Students who choose to accept responsibility and sanctions for a violation through a Report of Academic Integrity Violation (RAIV) or a Mutual Agreement waive their right to appeal those decisions. Other resolutions have one level of appeal as described in the Student Discipline Procedures.
For further information regarding your appeal rights and to download the appeal form, click here. Back
How does a disciplinary file effect my chances for graduate school or professional school?
That depends on the materials in the file and the educational plans of the student. Please contact the Office of Student Conduct to review your file based on your specific academic goals. In general, the more serious the charges and events in the file, and the more intrusive the scrutiny of the graduate program, medical or law schools for example, then the more likely there will be some post-undergraduate effect from the incident(s). Staff in the Office of Student Conduct have sufficient experience to review your file and describe the possible effects, as well as any opportunities you might have to mitigate those effects. Back
How does a disciplinary file effect other job and leadership opportunities on campus?
Different opportunities have different expectations and restrictions. There are some experiences, such as becoming a Residence Hall Staff Member, which prohibit the student from having any active sanction, such as Disciplinary Probation. In addition, there are prohibitions preventing a student under an active sanction from running for an elected student government position. Some programs, like Study Abroad and University Housing, ask students to submit to a records check as part of the application process. Having a disciplinary record does not automatically disqualify a student from all activities or opportunities, but does impact some experiences. It is important to check with the office or program coordinator for the specific opportunity, before making a commitment. Back
I can't finish my sanctions by the deadline, what should I do?
Contact the Office of Student Conduct or the Housing staff member who imposed the sanction immediately. There are some circumstances where a student might qualify for an extension. That decision must be made by the office or the person with the authority to do so. Extensions are not granted by persons who supervise community service work or by staff who do not have specific authority to do so. Back
How do I get the suspension notation lifted from by transcript?
After the period of suspension has passed the student may petition for the removal of the transcript notation. Suspension notations may be removed upon student petition to the Provost. Factors to be considered in reviewing petitions for notation removal after suspension include:
- The present demeanor of the student;
- The student's conduct subsequent to the violation; and
- The nature of the violation, including the issue of premeditation and the severity of any resulting damage, injury, or harm.
Can I attend other schools while I am suspended or expelled from NC State?
A student suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons may not attend another UNC system school while the sanction is active. Once the period of suspension has passed the student may apply to another school in the UNC system. Expelled students are ineligible. Private schools and public schools outside the state of North Carolina may have different entrance requirements. Students should contact the specific school in question to review their policies and practices. Back
Yes. Contact a staff member in the Office of Student Conduct to get this information. In some situations students will be expected to pay for the copying costs associated with the file. Back

The "DREAM Act Five" sat down in Senator McCain's office and risked deportation to countries they do not remember, and even threats to their lives, just to get everyone else to stand up for the immediate passage of a standalone DREAM Act.
Undocumented youth have waited 9 long years for passage of the DREAM Act, which would allow them to adjust their status in the United States provided they meet certain conditions: they must have been brought here before the age of 16 and be currently under 35, maintained continuous presence for 5 years, have good moral character (as in no criminal record), and complete either 2 years of college or military service.
Led by Mohammad Abdollahi from DreamActivist, the "DREAM Act Five" demand that the DREAM Act be the standard for subsequent immigration reform proposals and not bundled with an unpopular comprehensive immigration proposal that puts enforcement first, promotes invasion of privacy through biometrics, and continues to criminalize immigrant communities.
The DREAM Act has enough support to pass a standalone measure and waiting another year means deferring over 10 million dreams again--because the dreams of immigrant youth are the dreams of their parents as well.
A DREAM deferred is a DREAM denied. Now is the time to take action for the DREAM Act
1. Sign the email petition and follow it up with calls to your Senators and Representatives.
2. Join the civil disobedience actions at TheDreamisComing.com
3. Donate to sustain the DREAM Act Five in terms of their legal costs
These four immigrant leaders are risking deportation from the United States in the hope that this action will make a significant contribution to the dreams of immigrant youth. In response to the onslaught of enforcement-based immigration law, they staged a sit-in at Senator McCain's office, and urged you, as Congressional Leadership to champion the DREAM Act and the values it represents: hard work, education, and fairness.
We, parents, teachers, friends, religious leaders, neighbors, community members, and undocumented youth share the hope of these courageous students to create a new standard for immigration reform based on education, hard work, equality, and fairness. We urge you to exercise your leadership role to realize this new standard by ensuring passage of the DREAM act by June 15, 2010.

2014 BMW M5 Competition Pack Put to the Test on Ignition (W/Video)
This should be the 3-series sedan.
When will bmw ever change they look boring and old no wonder you only see only old people driving this cars.
So a 428i with four doors should cost about 44k. A quick look at the pricing shows a 328i, also with four doors, costs about 38k. So why would anyone buy the 428i Gran Coupe (aka sedan) over the standard 328i? Seriously this car is so stupid and so are the people who buy one.
They should have put the camo on the hood and left it there!
LMFAO BMW really have an identity crisis. I thought that the all 4 series idea was to leave the sedans in the 3 series and the coupe in the 4 series and now we see 4 door version of the 4 series. LOL
BMW has turned into a parody of itself.
Does this one make zoom zoom noises fisher-price style out of its stereo too?
They are actually making the Goob here feel like I've got my head on straight.
However.. as long as they keep offering real manual transmissions the Goob can forgive that everything else about the car is fake.... the name... the number of doors... the leather... the engine noise etc. etc.
Its a sad new world - thusly hath BMW ruled.
What happened to bmw?
So this is a 3 series GT, but with the hatch sloped to a lesser degree angle? BMW has the 1 series, 2 series, 2 series coupe, 3 series, 3 series GT, 3 series wagon, M3, 4 series, 4 series convertible, 4 series gran coupe, M4, 5 series, 5 series GT, 5 series wagon, M5, 6 series, 6 series gran coupe, 6series convertible, M6, 7 series, Alpina 7 series, X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, Z4...After typing all of this, it seemed like series was spelled wrong............... Anyways, BMW has too many models... Makes you wonder it BMW is gonna add a X2 or even more models.... What's the difference between a 3 series and a 4 series Gran coupe? A 3 series GT? X6 and X5? 5 series GT? I do have to give it up to BMW for making all this though...
"If only I could have a 4 Series, but with 2 extra doors..."
It's called the 3 Series.
Wait... what?
It probably cannibalizes 3 Series' sales, isn't it? No, BMW... Don't do that!
LOL! this just looks like a fastback slapped on the 4 dr. I sure miss the E92 even more now, a much better looking car... Bangle was a man before his time on the 3 series(not the 5er).
What is the point of this, exactly? I thought the point of the 4 Series was to be the coupe version of the 3 Series? So they make a 3 Series out of a 4 Series? I love BMW, but this was a really stupid move on their part.
Let me see if I've got this right. If you want a 3 series 4 door it costs you $37,300. To remove 2 doors costs about $3000. If you want to add those 2 doors back it'll cost you another $2500. Is that about right? Seems as pointless to me as the X6 and 6 series Gran Coupe.
BMW makes nice looking cars and suv the prices matches wit the looks
There is no need for explanation in stupidity. All their cars look way too much alike , that there is no sense in putting numbers . Just call them for what they are BMW Small, Medium and Large. They all overlap.
An excuse to charge more money for relatively little engineering or designing investment. BMW may be taking it too far with the enormous amount of iterations, however.
@Goober. Mr. Goob, good point, hence the reason the new kid on the block, the ATS, and the updated IS have with most respects taken over this segment. Can't wait for the ATS-V.
In addition; BMW should not be allowed to call this a "gran coupe" when it's obviously a sedan. At least the 6 Series gran coupe looked like a coupe with 4 doors.
@Yoma so would you say BMW is more profitable or less profitable than they were in the mid 90's, before X5, before Z3
when there was only 3,5,7,8 series
would a business keep expanding their line, if expanding the line didn't bring more profits?
@GTI Guy yeah, but everyone and their mother already has a 3 series
for a small fee, you can be different
Thats what they did. They just had to be super hipster trendy about it though, like Starbucks style.. tall, grande, venti, trenta...
@RPIbaldum at the rate they're going, they're bound to hit that point sometime
who's to say if it's in a year, 5 years, or 2 years ago
yeah, the ATS is just ripping it up... unless you look at the pitifully small number they've sold so far
@Dr Kundt @Yoma It would. But how would BMW keep up with demand and manufacturing processes?
True. I just wish it was what the 6 Series Gran Coupe is to the 5 Series, more than a bit different. Then BMW could charge more for it too.
Also, I wish I had a 3 Series.

October 20, 2008
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- State utility regulators are holding a public hearing on a request by South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. for a midyear rate increase.
The state agency that serves as a watchdog on utility cases has brokered an agreement between the company and those opposed to the rate increase that would allow SCE&G to charge an additional 6 percent -- about half what the company wanted.
According to the Office of Regulatory Staff, the typical customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours a month would see their bills increase about $6 to $114 a month.
The state Public Service Commission has to approve any rate increase and will hold a public hearing Monday on the request.

Fiat Chrysler Concedes Violating Rule on Reporting Death and Injury Claims
By BILL VLASIC
The announcement comes as federal regulators are stepping up oversight of automakers for safety problems and environmental issues.
Sunday, October 4, 2015
At least 30 states and the District of Columbia are cooperating in an inquiry into the possibilities of fraud and violation of environmental laws.
The new generation of the classic roadster is more modern and weighs less. Known in America as the Miata, it remains remarkably true to its original mission.
I thought my new car, blessed by "Top Gear," would help me save money on fuel while saving the planet. Then I found out it was one of the 11 million rogues.
The new head of Volkswagen, a racing enthusiast who has spoken out for migrants, is not the usual German executive. But some worry he might not be the right person to change VW's culture.
A deal by the union's leadership and the automaker was soundly rejected by rank-and-file workers, who "feel like the leadership has insulted them," as one autoworker put it.
The union said 65 percent of the carmaker's 36,000 hourly workers voted against the agreement, which included wage increases and bonuses but failed to put a cap on the number of lower-paid workers.
VW said it sold 145 more vehicles in September, up 0.56 percent. Other automakers had double-digit increases.
The close ties resulted in public officials doing car companies' bidding, sometimes to the detriment of environmental standards, environmentalists and others say.
Officials said they regretted previously indicating that Martin Winterkorn, the former executive, was a focus of an inquiry into an emissions scandal.
More devices and services promise to equip aging vehicles with modern features like rearview cameras and driver alert systems.
The emissions scandal, which could scare away buyers, is the latest strain in what has become a tense relationship between dealers and the company.
As the German automaker fills gaps created by its diesel scandal, it continues to look to insiders.
The last California got a bit lost in the company's other high-performance models, but the latest version drives like a true member of the Ferrari family.
There are many good choices in the small crossover market, but Mazda's new model is for people who enjoy the act of driving,
With an upgraded structure, a reduction in noise and more, the 2016 model is a far better truck than the one it replaces.
The announcement comes as federal regulators are stepping up oversight of automakers for safety problems and environmental issues.
The carmaker isn't yet saying, but potential recompense for drivers whose cars were subject to deceptive emissions tests range from minimal to generous.
David Maraniss's latest book looks back wistfully to Detroit's heyday in the 1960s, when Motown was rocking and the city was full of promise.
The technology, which shows data like a vehicle's speed in front of the driver, is moving beyond performance cars and appearing in more models.
Sales of Jaguar, the British brand acquired in 2008 from Ford by Tata, along with Land Rover, have been lagging this year.
Starting Tuesday, most cab owners will be required to switch to the Nissan NV200, known as the Taxi of Tomorrow, when they retire their cabs.
The auto industry will spend billions developing the technology, and many states are being careful not to pass laws that would scare those dollars away.
Cadillac, which has moved to Manhattan, used aggressive design and performance to put its old image in the past, but that comeback has since stalled.
Press previews began this week at the 2015 New York International Auto Show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The show opens to the public on Friday.

Boston Discrimination Lawyers
Serving Watertown, Mattapan, Quincy and
Attorneys at the Boston law firm of Alford & Bertrand have a track record of notable verdicts and settlements in cases including medical malpractice, gender, age and racial discrimination.
Our attorneys won millions of dollars for our clients harmed through medical errors, negligence, as well as discrimination.
Workplace Racial Discrimination Case
Sometimes a racial discrimination case can take on a significance that outweighs a money award. A few years ago, Alford & Bertrand filed suit against a national pharmaceutical chain relative to an action of racial discrimination. The findings of the Massachusetts Commission Against Racial Discrimination, after fifteen days of trial, established a new approach to reviewing employment claims in this case. For the first time the Commission found that retaliation by an employer in reaction to a claim of discrimination was as important as the Commission's evaluation of the original facts, which resulted in the claim of discrimination.
The emphasis on analyzing the retaliation element of the case put employers on notice that they could not punish employees for complaining about employment related acts of discrimination. In this case, the victim of retaliation received a substantial money damages award and the commission issued an order for the national pharmaceutical chain to provide its managers and employees with extensive training on issues related to race and ethnicity sensitivity in the workplace.
When you need legal help and guidance to hold liable parties responsible for harm they caused due to discrimination, please contact our Boston racial discrimination attorneys at 888-361-1693. Get a free, no obligation case evaluation. We'll put our legal team to work for you.

Software Executive, Under U.S. Inquiry, Resigns Top Posts
By ALEX BERENSON
Published: April 22, 2004
Sanjay Kumar resigned yesterday as chairman and chief executive of Computer Associates International as a criminal investigation into securities fraud and obstruction of justice reached the highest level of the company.
Mr. Kumar's resignation came as directors try to save Computer Associates, the big software company, from a criminal indictment that could seriously damage its business. In guilty pleas in United States District Court in Brooklyn earlier this month, former senior executives depicted a broad conspiracy at the company to mislead prosecutors. Mr. Kumar has not been charged with wrongdoing, but the investigation has focused on him in the last few weeks.
With his resignation, Mr. Kumar joins a succession of chief executives at major public companies who have lost their jobs to accounting scandals in the last two years. But Mr. Kumar, who joined Computer Associates in 1987, is not leaving the company entirely. He will become chief software architect, a new position whose responsibilities remain vague. Mr. Kumar is looking forward to the job, his lawyer said.
Lewis S. Ranieri, an investment banker and Computer Associates board member, will succeed Mr. Kumar as chairman, the company said. A search for a permanent chief executive will begin immediately, it said, and Computer Associates will soon name an interim chief executive.
In forcing Mr. Kumar out of the executive suite but allowing him to maintain a role at the company, directors appeared to walk a line between prejudging his guilt and cooperating with the criminal investigation into its accounting practices, which started more than two years ago.
Computer Associates, based in Islandia, N.Y., is the fourth-largest independent software company, with 16,000 employees and more than $3 billion in sales. It specializes in mainframe utility software, which helps to run the big computers used by corporations more efficiently.
Board members and lawyers for the company met yesterday with federal prosecutors from Brooklyn and regulators for the Securities and Exchange Commission to discuss their joint investigation and lay the groundwork for a settlement. Mr. Kumar's resignation will probably buy time for the company from action by the prosecutors and the S.E.C., but a resolution of the case is not imminent, people close to the discussions said.
Wall Street analysts and experts on corporate governance applauded the board's decision to replace Mr. Kumar, although they said the move should have come sooner. There is no obvious choice for the next chief executive, analysts said.
Computer Associates' stock rose $1.09 yesterday, or 4.3 percent, to $26.66, in trading of more than 12 million shares.
Since January, four former executives have pleaded guilty to charges of securities fraud or obstruction of justice, including Ira H. Zar, the former chief financial officer.
Mr. Zar, who reported directly to Mr. Kumar, is cooperating with the federal investigation. Although prosecutors have not publicly identified Mr. Kumar as a target, they rarely accept a plea deal from an executive as high ranking as Mr. Zar unless they think he can be useful in helping indict a superior.
In their pleas, the executives have portrayed a wide-ranging conspiracy at Computer Associates to lie to prosecutors and the company's own lawyers about its past practice of backdating sales to meet Wall Street analysts' expectations.
But Mr. Ranieri said in a statement yesterday morning that an internal investigation by the company had not found any misconduct by Mr. Kumar.
''The changes in Sanjay's role are not based on the conclusion that he engaged in any wrongdoing,'' Mr. Ranieri said. ''Nonetheless, the conduct in question occurred during his tenure, and the board felt this action was appropriate.''
A spokesman for Computer Associates said Mr. Ranieri would have no comment beyond his statement.
Mr. Kumar, 42, is a prominent figure on Long Island, where Computer Associates is based. He is co-owner of the New York Islanders hockey team along with Charles B. Wang, the company's former chairman. In 1998, Mr. Kumar, Mr. Wang and a third executive received a $1.1 billion bonus from Computer Associates, one of the largest paydays ever for American executives.
Lawyers for Mr. Kumar have said that he has done nothing wrong and is cooperating with the investigations. Yesterday, they released a one-sentence statement: ''Mr. Kumar looks forward to fully engaging in his new role to serve the interests of C.A.'s shareholders, customers and employees.'' Robert Fiske, a lawyer for Mr. Kumar, declined to comment further.
Several people close to Computer Associates' internal investigation say it has been hampered because Mr. Zar and the other executives who pleaded guilty are more interested in cooperating with prosecutors to avoid time in prison than in talking to the company's lawyers. At the same time, Mr. Kumar continues to insist that he has done nothing wrong.
As a result, the board has no direct evidence of wrongdoing by Mr. Kumar, these people said. Directors felt that firing him based only on news reports that he is a target of the federal investigation would be unfair. But they were aware that prosecutors have denounced ''the corrupt culture of Computer Associates' management'' and that Wall Street analysts said this week that Mr. Kumar could no longer function as chief executive.
The board had no choice but to move Mr. Kumar aside, said Nitsan Hargil, a software analyst at Friedman, Billings, Ramsey.
''Either Mr. Kumar had something to do with the wrongdoing all along,'' Mr. Hargil said, ''or he is negligent in the most serious way for not knowing'' that crimes were being committed at Computer Associates.
''Ira Zar was at the company for 21 years,'' Mr. Hargil said. ''He and Sanjay shared an office. It is very difficult; very, very difficult to conceive that Sanjay had no idea what was going on.''
Gary Lutin, an investment banker who advises big investors and has followed Computer Associates, said he was pleased that the board had acted but that the directors should have moved Mr. Kumar aside when the investigation began in 2002. ''At the very least they should have anticipated it by having a substitute C.E.O. lined up by now,'' Mr. Lutin said.
In 2002, prosecutors and the S.E.C. began to investigate the company's accounting practices. Current and former Computer Associates employees have said that the company used very aggressive accounting methods to inflate its reported sales and profits in the 1990's.
But the federal investigation appeared to be moving slowly until last October, when the company acknowledged backdating contracts in 1999 and 2000 to inflate its revenue and fired Mr. Zar and two other executives. Since then, the investigation has rapidly accelerated.
Yesterday's action by the board ends what had been a long streak of success for Mr. Kumar. He joined Computer Associates almost 17 years ago and rose quickly, becoming president in 1994, when he was just 31. He was named chief executive in August 2000 and chairman two years later.
Since taking over from Mr. Wang, Mr. Kumar has won praise from analysts for improving the company's relations with its employees and customers, which were often rocky during the 1990's.
Richard L. Ptak, an independent software analyst based in New Hampshire, said: ''C.A.'s image, much to the chagrin of some of its competitors, I think has actually improved over the last couple of years. It's a better company.''

Federal prosecutors and the S.E.C. are pursuing investigations. (Photo by Reuters)(pg. C4) Chart: ''A Long Period of Accounting Turmoil'' In recent years, Computer Associates has been criticized for the compensation packages it has given its top executives and investigated for its accounting practices. The investigations have led to guilty pleas among some former top executives and yesterday caused the resignation of Sanjay Kumar, its chief executive and chairman. MAY 22, 1998 Charles B. Wang, chairman and chief executive, Sanjay Kumar, president, and Russell M. Artzt, executive vice president, are awarded 20.25 million shares of stock worth $1.1 billion. JULY 21, 1998 The company reports a $481 milllion quarterly loss, partly because of the stock award to the three executives. It also issues a warning on future earnings. JULY 5, 1999 The company fires Ernst & Young as its auditor saying it did not have any specific disagreements about any accounting matters. NOV. 9, 1999 After investors sue, a judge reduces the stock award by almost half. The company negotiates to reduce the award by only 4.5 million shares, or $234 million. JULY 5, 2000 The company says earnings fell well short of expecations in the quarter; its shares fall 43 percent. AUG. 7, 2000 Mr. Wang steps down as chief executive, remaining chairman. Mr. Kumar is named chief executive. OCT. 18, 2000 The company reports a fiscal second-quarter loss of $291 million, a week after laying off 900 workers. AUG. 29, 2001 Mr. Wang and Mr. Kumar defeat an effort by Sam Wyly, a dissident shareholder, to replace Mr. Wang and three other directors. FEB. 6, 2002 Moody's warns that it might lower the company's credit rating. It cuts the rating in March 2004. FEB. 19, 2002 Reports surface that federal prosecutors are investigating the company's accounting practices. APRIL 13, 2002 The company says that it will lose money for the sixth consecutive quarter. NOV. 18, 2002 Mr. Wang resigns as chairman. Mr. Kumar succeeds him. OCT. 8, 2003 Ira H. Zar, chief financial officer, and two other finance executives, Lloyd Silverstein and David Rivard, are fired over the company's accounting practices. JAN. 31, 2004 Mr. Silverstein pleads guilty to obstruction of justice. APRIL 8, 2004 Mr. Zar and two other executives plead guilty to securities fraud. APRIL 10, 2004 Mr. Kumar is given a bonus of $8 million in stock. Graph tracks the weekly closing stock price of Computer Associates, adjusted for splits, since 1998.

Just because male model Andrej Pejic has made a career out of leaving his "gender open to artistic interpretation" doesn't mean he's comfortable being put in the same category as transgendered people — especially the superstar Brazilian model Lea T.
RELATED: Andrej Pejic: 'I Like To Serve Beauty, Not Porn'
Pejic told Vogue UK that while he appreciate's Lea T.'s work — and what she's doing to change the perception of gender — he doesn't really see himself as being on the same kind of gender-bending crusade. Mostly, he's just being himself, and using his own gender fluidity to get as much work as possible — and to establish himself as an industry staple, not an industry fad.
"Lea has been extremely brave in being very honest about her journey – but I don't really see myself as being here to challenge transgender stereotypes. I'm just myself. It's taken a while to be taken seriously, but I hope to prove that I'm very versatile and that I'll still be here after the phenomenon has passed."

And he is versatile — he's just as good on men's runways as he is in women's couture shows, and we hope he gets opportunities to flex more of those muscles (figuratively speaking) in the future.

2014 Q106.5 Celebrity Egg Ride for Pine Tree Camp
Over the past 40 years, the Snowmobile Ride-in to benefit Pine Tree Camp weekend has raised $4 million, translating into thousands of lives transformed by Pine Tree Camp. Last year, we pledged to raise $40,000 for the Pine Tree Camp, and due to the support of our amazing Q-106.5 listeners, the Egg Ride raised over $55,000 to help hit that goal, all to help provide camp scholarships for Pine Tree Camp families in need. Thank you! This year, we are taking it one more step, literally!
Support this year's Q-106.5 Celebrity Egg Ride and our goal of raising $40,001 for PTC!
On Saturday, Feb. 1, personalities from Q-106.5, as well as members of the Maine Warden Service that appear on the TV Show 'North Woods Law' will suit up to begin the 'Egg-Ride' from Levant to Newport. The catch? For every $50 raised, all of the riders will carry one raw egg in their snowmobile suits as they ride along the trail. Let's fill up those suits for a great cause!
Help us reach our goal! Your support will help us raise money for the Egg Ride. At the end of the day, every dollar raised will benefit Pine Tree Camp, an extraordinary summer camp for Maine children and adults with disabilities. And for that, we want to Thank-You!

Last week Google made an announcement about its use of SSL/TLS with advice to customers on how to ensure the can continue to connect to Google's services.
Duck wrote an excellent overview of the big change - the switch to 2048-bit certificates - but a less prominent aspect of the announcement should also be a concern to IT administrators, particularly those managing the 33% of desktops that are still running Windows XP*.
The key information appeared towards the end of the announcement:
"Also, clients should support the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension because clients may need to make an extra API call to set the hostname on an SSL connection."
SNI is an extension to the SSL/TLS protocol that allows a browser to specify explicitly the name of the website it's trying to connect to. It allows a single web server to host multiple HTTPS web sites. This practice, known as virtual hosting, is already widely used for hosting regular, non-secure websites.
When your browser connects to an HTTPS site, the very first thing the server does is send a copy of its certificate so your browser can validate its identity. The browser will expect the name on the certificate to match the name of the website it's trying to connect to.
This is fine if the server only hosts one website - it only needs one certificate.
But what if it's a virtual hosting server with multiple websites, each with a different name? It would need to select the right certificate to return so that the browser sees the name it expects.
SNI is a special SSL header that allows the required hostname to be included in the very first packet of the secure negotiation. When a virtual hosting server receives a secure connection request with an SNI header, it can check the header against its list of hosted sites, and present the right certificate.
Support for SNI has been slow to emerge. It's a classic chicken and egg scenario - if browsers don't support SNI, then they can't access secure sites on multi-hosted servers. But until more multi-site servers exist there's no need for browsers to support SNI.
Google's announcement suggests that they intend to host websites in ways that require SNI in the near future. And as more sites adopt the security benefits of using HTTPS by default, we will no doubt see wider adoption of virtual hosting for HTTPS across the board.
So if you're using a browser without SNI support, you may find parts of the web will no longer be available to you.
Most modern browsers support SNI. If you're running Chrome, Firefox or IE 10 on a shiny new Windows 8 laptop you're laughing. However, if you still have systems running IE on Windows XP you may find yourself stuck.
Because Internet Explorer on Windows XP uses the underlying operating system's SSL services to make secure connections, even IE8 on XP does not add the SNI header to outgoing requests.
The solution? Upgrade to a more modern operating system, or switch to a different browser.
Both Chrome and Firefox support SNI on Windows XP.
So does Safari, but as the Windows version of Safari doesn't seem to be receiving security updates any more (indeed, hasn't been updated since 2012) Naked Security isn't going to recommend it.

The House of Representatives is considering fresh options to ensure the implementation of the subsidy probe report by the Federal Government, in the event that the Executive fails to prosecute individuals and firms indicted by its ad hoc committee on the management of fuel subsidy.
Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Zakari Mohammed, made this known on Sunday during an agricultural empowerment programme in Baruten Local Government, Kwara State.
But the lawmaker, who represents Baruten/Kaiama Federal Constituency, did not give any details.
Mohammed said, "We have our options, supposing at the end of the day the Federal Government does not implement the recommendations and punish the culprits. You do not lay all your cards on the table. We have a fallback position. Just watch.
"I am sure that Jonathan, through his Presidential Adviser to the National Assembly, Mrs. Joy Emodi, said that they would implement the findings of the ad hoc committee. I believe that we should believe them and keep watching. Let us not stampede them and we should give them the benefit of the doubt."
Mohammed assured Nigerians that the House would satisfy their yearnings for the implementation of the resolutions passed by its members on the report.
The House spokesman was apparently reacting to hints in a statement issued on Thursday by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Bello Adoke, that government was not ready to prosecute those indicted in the report.
In the statement, Adoke acknowledged that although the House conducted a painstaking investigation, which he described as a "fact-finding" mission, President Jonathan was not yet ready to take decisive action on it.
Instead, Adoke said government would pass the report to the anti-graft agencies for perusal.
Government's seeming reluctance to deal with the culprits made civil society groups under the aegis of the Save Nigeria Group to, on April 30, 2012, give the Federal Government two weeks to act on the report or risk a protest march.
However, in another interview with The PUNCH, also on Sunday, Mohammed said the House had played its part in exposing corruption, and noted that history would be harsh in judging those who failed to implement the report on the N1.070trn fuel subsidy scam.
He said that the "facts of the investigations were thrown bare for all Nigerians to see," adding that it was left to Nigerians to demand that government must implement the recommendations.
Mohammed explained that as a legislature, the House had played its constitutional role of exposing corruption through the subsidy probe.
He added, "We don't have the power to prosecute; that is not our duty. We have played our role within the limits of the constitution.
"Somebody's duty is to implement the report by prosecuting those found culpable. But, if they are not doing that, it is incumbent on Nigerians and civil society groups to insist that the report be executed."
Mohammed argued that history would judge the 7th House as having investigated the subsidy scam and recommended that some organisations and individuals be punished.
"The same history will also judge those who refused to play their part; as a House, we played our part and that is how history will judge us," he said.
Already, civil society groups and orgnanised labour are demanding the implementation of the report.
Last week, the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, asked the government to ensure that the stolen subsidy money was recovered.
The leaderships of the two unions had paid a "solidarity visit" to the Speaker of the House, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, on Thursday last week where they expressed their support for the House.
The NLC leadership was led by its President, Mr. Abdulwaheed Omar, while Mr. Peter Esele led the TUC delegation.
Omar had said that attempts by the executive to discredit the report were diversionary, noting that it should play its role just as the House had done.
He stated, "We want this report to be taken to the conclusions. "All those culprits must be brought to book. "If they (executive) say that there are some people to be probed, who were not invited, they should bring them up."
Esele, on his part, said that the House had fulfilled the aspirations of Nigerians by adopting the subsidy report.
"Whatever we have to do to ensure that those who took the N1.07tn are brought to book, we will do it. "That money was meant for our roads, the health sector and our economy," he said.

Exchange 2010 and rpc\http evault
I'm using this artice http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH172662 to configure internet access to evault through rpc\http. Everything with exchange server and outllo are setup correctly with rpc\http and it works fine. I have also successfully published the evault server's name through the internet. I cant however still access evault email through the internet.
If I go to http://evautserver.domain.com/enterprisevault I can access the ev webapp, it doesnt ask me for credentials even!?
In the desktop policy I choose on th eadvanced tab "outlook" and I choose for rpc\http "direct" and synchronize my mailbox and open Outlook and cant open archoved email. If I choose "proxy" and put the url: "evaultserver.domain.local" - still cant get archived email. I can get it though if I use th evpn or if I'm internal.
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
So you need to use proxy and specify the full https://mail.yourDomain.com/EnterpriseVault/
Once that is set and synchronized, get a client trace and see what URL it's using and what the http response codes are
This is what I dont understand. How can I use mail.domain.com/enterprisevault when mail.domain.com poitns to my Exchange Server?
I already have an external URL being published called evaultserver.domain.com to the internal IP address of the evault server and it is accesssible from outside.
Are you saying in the properties of the Exchaneg policy I choose use proxy instead of direct and just type in the url as https://mail.domain.com/EnterpriseVault ?
Why URL would I put if I wanted to use direct?
Direct means that its not even going to try the RPC over HTTP URL
Meaning that if you have http://evserver.internal.domain/ then EV will always attempt to connect to that URL, so that you have to be connected to the VPN or logged on to your domain.
For external, typically you have something like
http://mail.myCompany.com (an ISA Server)
http://mail.myCompany.com/Exchange/ -> http://exchangeCAS.internal.domain/Exchange/
http://mail.myCompany.com/EnterpriseVault/ -> http://evServer.internal.domain/EnterpriseVault/
So the IIS does the redirect based on the published folders, it acts as a proxy between the Exchange virtual directory and outside the network.
if you have published it via something like
http://ev.myCompany.com -> http://evServer.internal.domain/
Then you would specify the RPC over HTTP URL to be http://ev.myCompany.com/EnterpriseVault/ and set the policy to use Proxy
I have http://mail.myCompany.com/Exchange/ -> http://exchangeCAS.internal.domain/Exchange/
But I got it working by:
http://ev.myCompany.com -> http://evServer.internal.domain/
Then you would specify the RPC over HTTP URL to be http://ev.myCompany.com/EnterpriseVault/ and set the policy to use Proxy
Why is it http and not https? Through the internet I went to http://evaultserver.domain.com/enterprisevault and it didnt even ask me for a password.
http and https is purely your preference, if its set up to use both http AND https, you can use both...but you should probably set the urls and the listerns and forwarders etc to use https
As for the password prompt, it is most likely a managed password on your windows machine, so its just passing the credentials it already has cached
here's one way of configuring EV to work with SSL

« Doctors in the Land of Lud |
| Always On Political Roadblock »
Posted by Dana Blankenhorn
When will we get effective political pushback against Hollywood's absolutism on copyright?
I once thought it would happen when people were jailed for linking.
I was wrong.
The filing of criminal charges against the people who ran Elite Torrents, a BitTorrent "tracking site," and the complete take-down of the site, has caused few ripples. Washington remains as absolutist as ever.
Instead, it's technology that retains our confidence. BitTorrent is now becoming trackerless. No trackers, no tracking sites to take down, no track linkers to toss in jail.
But that's not good enough for me. This is like depending on super weapons to defend us in an atomic age. Without peace, soon, between copyright owners and copyright users, the Internet will be effectively destroyed.
It doesn't take much imagination to see Al Qaeda propaganda, or even terrorist plans, being distributed via a Torrent. Especially a trackerless torrent.
From there it is a very quick move to seeing politicians equate file sharing with terrorism, Torrent users with Al Qaeda, and demands for a complete shut-down on any technology that can benefit the enemy.
Let's be clear. Al Qaeda and the forces supporting them are Luddites. They aim to take their part of the world back to the Middle Ages. And they aim to take us down to the Middle Ages with them.
The Internet is the greatest weapon we have against tyranny in all its forms, especially this form. Any move against it is a move on behalf of the enemy.
So where do we go from here? I believe that if we don't move toward compromise on copyright we're pulling our own virtual Twin Towers down over our own heads, just to keep the enemy from doing it first.
The way of Hollywood, in other words, is madness. Free the tracker site managers, find a business model that works against hoarding, and let's have everyone in the West hang together.
Or else we will surely hang separately.

The question becomes, how do we get there, when the maximalists are in power and getting almost everything their way ?
Should we set up some extremists of our own in order to make our moderates look moderate--playing, in effect, a good cop-bad cop game ?
Possibly. But I think most of our progress will come from repeating our own ideas, over and over and over. If one looks carefully, perhaps one can see the effect of the Karjala/Lessig campaign for moderation in copyright already, in the wording of judicial opinions and legal scholarship. In time, perhaps it will have an effect on Congress as well. In time, perhaps, we won't need to "look carefully" to see the influence of these ideas.
2. RB on May 28, 2005 08:47 AM writes...
In this post you offer several conflicting viewpoints, and the issue is polluted further with all the unnecessary terrrorism references. Al Qaeda would not be using bittorrent, as it's designed to distribute information to as many people as possible. Its not a private distribution mechanism for secret plots.
The world would not end if we abolished the current copyright system. Business would find a way, as it always does in the face of new technology. The current copyright czars are merely opposed to change, and will use their vast wealth that WE THE PEOPLE gave WILLINGLY TO THEM over many years to stomp out advancement. The catholic church in the dark ages used similar tactics.
"No! I'm just trying to invent *burn* AAAAHH!!!"
All humans fear change, especially those with the most to loose (POWER). The MPAA/RIAA proove beyond a doubt the old saying, power corrupts, and as every corrupt overpowered organization in the history of the earth, it will FALL.
The only way to fight against people so absolute in their view is to use force. In the past this meant war. Now it means economic punishment.
On the other hand, if the MPAA/RIAA wanted to win they could do it in a matter of weeks. All they would have to do is stop releasing movies music and TV shows for a little while, claiming that if we are going to pirate it they wont give it out. How quickly would that turn the tide of public opinion against file traders? No they are not pirates. Pirates sailed the seas and pillaged other ships. Digital content isnt stolen, merely copied. If i give a copy of this text to a friend, I still have my copy, and I am not deprived of anything.
The vast majority of poeple under the influence of the MPAA/RIAA are idiots who survived the government school system, clearly not the people that should be deciding the future of copyright; however in the end the only way to oppose such a powerful force is if we all group together and say with one voice, NO we will not let you control the future of technological development.
In the end it probablly wont matter anyway. This country is loosing its wealth and power. The shift of jobs and resources to asia will cause our downfall. We shouldnt be wasting our few remaining resources on the next eppisode of 24 or the next Star Wars movie, but we should be using them to reform our flawed political, economic, and social systems.
Thank you.

You could go a long way by making it illegal for special interest groups like RIAA to buy legislation by buying political represetation through campaign fund donations.
Hollywood's bought congressmen should have to excuse themseves from legislative votes where they have received significant money from an interested party.
This would stop big industry like Hollywood from buying legislation they way they've been doing in the US for the last few decades.

it has become worse..
"Feds shut down BitTorrent hub"
"Homeland security agents from several divisions served search warrants on 10 people around the country suspected of being involved with the Elite Torrents site, and took over the group's main server."
You read that right.. "Homeland Security" now works for Hollywood..
No matter the side of the copyright/fair use debate you live on, it is hard to believe that Homeland Security was protecting the interests of u.s. citizens.. 'cepting the money interest of the powerful.. Oh, foolish me.. That IS america. Citizens aren't such anymore.. they are simply 'consumers'.. or, pigeons to be plucked (predator anaolgy ;-))

Contango Oil & Gas Co. on Friday announced that the Southern Ute Indian Tribe Growth Fund has invested $2.5 million in Contango, purchasing 2.5 million shares of the company's common stock at $1.00/share. Houston-based Contango also has granted to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe Growth Fund a 90-day option to purchase an additional 2.5 million shares of common stock for $2.5 million. In addition, the fund agreed to purchase nearly 20% of Contango's oil and gas projects and proved properties.
Contango intends to use the $2.5 million already invested to continue its exploration program and for general corporate purposes. As part of these transactions, the company's board of directors has appointed Robert J. Zahradnik, director of operations for the growth fund, as a director of the company.
The Southern Ute Indian Tribe Growth Fund is an investment arm of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe in Colorado. The tribe is a major producer and transporter of coalbed methane.
Contango and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe Growth Fund have also entered into a 2-year participation agreement, permitting the fund to acquire an 18.75% interest in all of Contango's oil and natural gas exploration and development projects and proved property acquisitions. Simultaneously with the equity purchase, the fund invested $480,000 in the company's exploration program.
Kenneth R. Peak, chairman and CEO of Contango, said the deal marks the tribe's first energy investment outside of Colorado.

CBE Hall of Fame Classic
Kansas Citians can get their first look at this year's University of Kansas men's basketball team next week when the College Basketball Experience hosts a four-team tournament at the Sprint Center. On Monday, Texas A&M takes on St. Louis at 6:30 p.m. and Kansas faces Wichita State immediately afterward. The two winning teams will take the floor against each other on Tuesday, immediately following the 6 p.m. consolation game. Tickets to each day's session run $17 to $252 at sprintcenter.com. Additionally, the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame will induct its class of 2012 on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at the Midland. Among those scheduled to be in attendance are Patrick Ewing, Earl Monroe, Willis Reed and Clyde Lovellette. Tickets to the induction are $50 at midlandkc.com.
Titus Andronicus
As its Shakespeare-derived name suggests, Titus Andronicus is a word-drunk band with literary ambitions. Like critically acclaimed the Hold Steady, Titus Andronicus specializes in adrenaline-fueled punk rock that's commandeered by an excitable vocalist who sounds as if he's speed reading. The New Jersey quintet's new album "Local Business" may lack the luster of the band's previous releases, but the Jackpot will seem Tuesday like the epicenter of the rock 'n' roll universe. Ceremony, an excellent California-based act that revives the sloppy majesty of the Sex Pistols, opens the show.
Tickets are $12 in advance.
"Tap Dogs"
The Australia-based group has rocketed to international success since premiering at the Sydney Theatre Festival in 1995, and Kansas City gets an up-close look this week when the performance arrives at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. The group, which offers a high-energy brand of tap dancing, was part of the 2000 Olympic opening ceremony in Sydney and has been touring for 18 years across the globe. The first performance here was Tuesday, but there are more performances scheduled through Sunday. Tickets range from $36 to $76 at kauffmancenter.org or by calling the Kauffman Center box office at 816.994.7222.
North Face Endurance Challenge
There's a race for everyone in this annual event, which kicks off at 7 a.m. at Theis Park near the Plaza. The Challenge features 5K, 10K, half-marathon, marathon and 50K distances, as well as a kids run and marathon relay. Though the series' other five stops are typically on trails or rugged terrain, the Kansas City stop is set up as a road-running festival. Races vary by distance, but the longer distances take runners past the UMKC campus, through historic Westport and north to downtown. Registration runs from $55 to $110 at thenorthface.com.
Winter Warm-Up at Park Place
Park Place in Leawood kicks off the holiday season with a three-day festival aimed at ramping up the winter cheer. In addition to daily specials from local stores and restaurants, the event includes live music, a one-man circus and a cocktail contest. Things kick off Thursday with free ice skating and complimentary hot chocolate from Cupcake a la Mode from 5-8 p.m. Charity groups will be on hand throughout the day Friday and Saturday, collecting donations. Go to pitchengine.com and search Winter Warm-Up for a full list of events and participating businesses.
