ECU rarely has problems with graffiti on its campus but Monday morning police were alerted to two buildings tagged with spray paint.
Lt Chris Sutton with ECU Police says the graffiti was found last Friday and was reported by an ECU employee Monday morning.
The vandalism is located on two storage warehouses located off 10th street.
The graffiti on the buildings spells out the word "boogie" and each one is tagged with a picture of what appears to be an alien smoking something.
No arrests have been made yet.

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" stars British actor Fiennes as its central figure: Monsieur Gustave, a fastidious hotel concierge—and its director says no one else would do.
The part was "written with Ralph in mind," Anderson told reporters ahead of the movie's premiere. "This character is quite grand and theatrical and has to recite poetry and has paragraphs of text.
Still, Fiennes shares the limelight with Norton, Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe, Jude Law, Adrien Brody, Saoirse Ronan and others in roles large and small.
The movie is the first of 20 competing for the festival's main Golden Bear award.
So how does Anderson get stars to play not-so-big roles? Anderson regular Murray—who's playing a fellow concierge in this film—leapt in to answer that one.
"We are promised very long hours and low wages—and stale bread," he said. "That's pretty much it."
Still, he admits the life is pretty cool.
"You get to see the world and we're allowed to let Wes live this wonderful magical life he has where his dreamscape comes true," Murray said.
Despite the movie's title, it isn't set in Hungary, although its makers did visit Budapest thinking it might be a possible location. In the end "we needed a spa town, not a grand city like Budapest," Anderson said.
A closed-down department store in Goerlitz, Germany's easternmost town on its border with Poland, served as the hotel.
Anderson's film offers a glimpse at Tilda Swinton as you've never seen her before, playing an 84-year-old countess named Madame D. whose sudden death sets off a scramble to claim her fortune.
"Madame D. is what I look like when I don't put on all this makeup," Swinton said. "I am very, very, very, very old."
An eight-member jury under "Brokeback Mountain" producer James Schamus will announce the winner of the Golden Bear and other prizes on Feb. 15, the festival's penultimate day.
"It's a very important festival and it's a very friendly place as well," said jury member Michel Gondry, the French director of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. "It's a little less about the looks than some other places."
The festival opens as the movie world mourns actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead of a suspected drug overdose Sunday. Organizers added a special screening next Tuesday of "Capote," which won him the Oscar for best actor in 2006.
"That news was pretty tough on all of us in the business," Schamus said, adding with the screening "he'll be here" in spirit.

A few cures for cabin fever
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Hang in there, boys and girls. Spring is just seven weeks away.
Yeah, I know; that's not much to hang one's hat on when it's 25 degrees outside and snow covers the ground.
We want to get outside, breathe some fresh air, climb a hill or wade a creek. But until the weather warms up a bit, we'll mostly stay inside and endure our annual case of cabin fever.
Ah, cabin fever! Every time I think of those words, I think of when my son was young and would watch a "Muppets Treasure Island" video for hours on end.
The video's characters sang a song about cabin fever. One particularly memorable line went like this:
Cabin fever has ravaged all aboard; this once-proud vessel has become a floating psycho ward!
Fortunately for us outdoors enthusiasts, there are ways to take the edge off our cases of cabin fever without actually going outdoors. Here are a few of my favorites:
It does, however, give me a chance to play with some of my big-boy toys - to feel the warmth of a walnut gunstock, to run a patch through a barrel and see it come out clean, and to once again enjoy the sweet fragrance of gun oil.
It's a "pride of ownership" thing - but also there's a certain satisfaction in knowing the firearm you just cleaned will be in perfect working order and ready for use when next you pull it from the safe.
Occasionally, though, she dons her third-degree black belt and heads to the mall to practice a little shop-fu. That's when I chalk my box calls, sandpaper my friction calls and inspect the reeds on all my mouth calls.
accumulated about all the hooks, feathers, threads and furs a tier could ever want or need. It's a joy, then, to go into my office, sit down at my tying bench and crank out a dozen trout flies or a couple of bass bugs. It never ceases to amaze me that I can clamp a hook into the vise and, in mere minutes, create an object that a fish will want to eat.
The gun-cleaning kit might be missing a bore brush or running low on patches. The turkey-call kit might need some fresh chalk. I might be running low on 6-pound-test fishing line. I try to maintain a master "needs list" so I don't forget anything when I go to the sporting-goods store.
I almost always run into friends while there, and we almost always end up shooting the breeze, swapping war stories and sharing a laugh or 12. My wallet is always lighter when I leave, but so are my spirits.

We received a kind letter from Senator Daniel Inouye, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations. A few months ago, we invited the longtime senator from Hawaii to visit Kalamazoo during Reading Together. Senator Inouye is Nisei (second generation Japanese American) and a distinguished veteran of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. He was the first Japanese American to be elected to Congress, and has served in Congress since 1959.
Senator Inouye was a medical volunteer at Pearl Harbor. In 1943, he discontinued his medical studies at the University of Hawaii to join the U.S. military. Serving with the 442nd RCT, he was distinguished by his many acts of courage and leadership, receiving multiple injuries and losing his right arm.
Senator Inouye was sent to convalesce in Battle Creek where he became friends with another soldier and future U.S. senator: Bob Dole. A third U.S. senator also stayed there during World War II: Philip Hart of Michigan. The building, also known as the Battle Creek Federal Center and the Battle Creek Sanitarium, was renamed in 2003 to the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center.
For his service during World War II, Senator Inouye was conferred the Bronze Star, Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross. In June 2000, he was awarded the Medal of Honor:
"Second Lieutenant Daniel K. Inouye distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 21 April 1945, in the vicinity of San Terenzo, Italy. While attacking a defended ridge guarding an important road junction, Second Lieutenant Inouye skillfully directed his platoon through a hail of automatic weapon and small arms fire, in a swift enveloping movement that resulted in the capture of an artillery and mortar post and brought his men to within 40 yards of the hostile force. Emplaced in bunkers and rock formations, the enemy halted the advance with crossfire from three machine guns. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Second Lieutenant Inouye crawled up the treacherous slope to within five yards of the nearest machine gun and hurled two grenades, destroying the emplacement. Before the enemy could retaliate, he stood up and neutralized a second machine gun nest. Although wounded by a sniper's bullet, he continued to engage other hostile positions at close range until an exploding grenade shattered his right arm. Despite the intense pain, he refused evacuation and continued to direct his platoon until enemy resistance was broken and his men were again deployed in defensive positions. In the attack, 25 enemy soldiers were killed and eight others captured. By his gallant, aggressive tactics and by his indomitable leadership, Second Lieutenant Inouye enabled his platoon to advance through formidable resistance, and was instrumental in the capture of the ridge. Second Lieutenant Inouye's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army."

Marian University Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi Receives Ace of the ACE Award
by John Armitage | Nov 27, 2012
Highest award from education honor society marks this chapter as the "best of the best."
The Marian University chapter ofKappa Delta Pi (KDP) received a surprise on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at the education honor society's biennial convocation: its members received theAce of the ACE Award for outstanding programming in support of KDP's mission. The chapter was one of 24 that expected to receive one of the ACE awards, but the members in attendance didn't realize they would be named the Ace of the ACE until the closing banquet. KDP has a total of 582 active chapters around the world. The Ace of the ACE Award has been awarded six times in KDP's history. Accepting the award for Marian University were (front row l to r) Amy Garner, Theresa Bedel, Allison Eve, Dr. Susie Beesley, Nicole Huser, Lexy Aldridge, Bill Sanford (back row l to r) Melissa Lecher, Clara Tucker, Jill Knueven, Amber Owens, Alicia Fisher, and Dr. Chris Grissom "Marian University's education majors are exceptional students. Receiving the Ace of the ACE Award confirms that we are exemplary in upholding the ideals of KDP, one of which is improving education for global citizenship," said Susie Beesley, professor of education at Marian University and the campus chapter's faculty liaison. In order to join the chapter, undergraduate students must have a 3.00 GPA and graduate students must have a 3.25 GPA. "KDP takes seriously its mission to promote excellence and advance scholarship, leadership, and service. It has a history of finding and keeping the best and brightest in the field of education," Beesley continued. Marian University's chapter, Alpha Alpha Tau, was installed on campus in 2002. In its short history, the chapter has received the ACE award four times. The Alpha Alpha Tau chapter is active on Marian University's campus, generally hosting 8-10 events each semester. The group provides professional development opportunities for educators including mock interviews, panel presentations, and workshops, and is also involved with service to the university and community. Each year since its inception, the chapter has worked with the Literacy Alive program buying books for several area schools and providing instruction. Chapter members tutor students and serve as pen pals to promote communication. On campus, KDP members serve the School of Education by providing Phase 1 portfolio help sessions and participating as student liaisons in the developmental advising meetings. During this year's KDP convocation, Christina Zier '11 was recognized as a Distinguished Chapter Officer. Maria Cossell '09 was recognized as a Distinguished Chapter Officer at the 2009 convocation held in Orlando, Florida. Accepting the ACE award for the university were chapter president Amy Garner and vice president Amber Owens. The university chapter has 54 current members. Founded in 1911, KDP is an international organization with over 45,000 members. Noteworthy members include Albert Einstein, George Washington Carver, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Margaret Mead. Current renowned members include Barbara Morgan, Alfie Kohn, Lisa Delpit, Andy Hargreaves, James Banks, and Howard Gardner. To date, more than 1,200,000 educators worldwide have been inducted into this international honor society.

Anywho it got me thinking of players who have been here one minute and back overseas the next or were just a waste of a quota place. Here's my Bradford Bull's List
Phil Howlett - Not a bad player but joined us for the back end of a season and that was it, in the late 90's. Why? Two Minute Wonder.
Michael Hogue - Solid prop who managed just a handful of games if that before being shipped to Paris. Waste of a Quota place
Hudson Smith - Former Salford player who struggled to make an impact for the Bulls. Could have been good. Waste of a quota place
Eugene Bourneville - Signed whilst Northern was on the up in the 90's and helped us to a mid place finish. Played two seasons for what appeared to be his only pro club.........ever. Waste of a spot.
Nick Zisti - The legend that is. Qualifies for both! What happened I don't know. He could have been a world beater. Waste of a quota spot/two minute wonder.
I'm sure there are more in the vaults.

Police say a gunman walked into a business school in downtown St. Louis and shot an administrator in the chest before shooting himself.
Police Chief Sam Dotson said the shooting happened about 2 p.m. Tuesday. The administrator was a man in his 40s who was shot in his office.
Dotson says both the administrator and the gunman are in surgery. He says he doesn't know if their wounds are life-threatening.
He says no one else was injured.
The shooting happened at the Stevens Institute of Business and Arts, which has about 180 students in programs including business administration and interior design.
Dotson says officers found students hiding under desks and in closets.

The Texas prison gang Barrio Azteca (BA) is one of the most violent gangs in the United States. It is intimately tied into the trans-border drug traffic from its home base in El Paso, and has a counterpart organization across the border in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. (Go here for Part One and here for Part Three of this series on BA.)
A federal RICO indictment resulted in the conviction of six alleged members and associates in December 2008. Testimony and other evidence in the trial opened a window into the gang's operations — aided by a "flipped" member, Johnny ("Conejo" or "Rabbit") Michelletti, who snitched for several years and then testified in open court about BA's organization and criminal deeds. These gangsters swear all manner of blood oaths about loyalty and the fabled code of silence. But when the big federal-prison-time-with-no-parole generator cranks up and starts to hum, somebody usually breaks and starts singing. In addition to Michelletti, who revealed in court that he had been working for the FBI since 2005, another gangster — Gustavo "Tavo" Gallardo — blinked and decided to cooperate and testify at trial against his homies, his barrio, and his gang. Oh, well.
"Tom Diaz has worn out some shoe leather—much like a good detective—in gathering facts, not myths or urban legend. "
—Chris Swecker, Former Assistant Director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
"Few people know more about the subject than Tom Diaz and no single book tells the whole story better than No Boundaries. If you really want to know what organized crime in America looks like today, then read this alarming book."
—Rocky Delgadillo, former City Attorney of Los Angeles
Order No Boundaries from Amazon.com
Here is the rundown on Barrio Azteca from the National Drug Intelligence Center's May 2008 West Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Drug Market Analysis:
Barrio Azteca controls cocaine, heroin, and marijuana distribution in El Paso. Because of its connections to Mexican DTOs operating in the El Paso/Juárez plaza, Barrio Azteca has a direct source of supply for heroin and other illicit drugs. However, the gang's activities have been limited as a result of a "safe zone" injunction initiated in 2003 that prohibits its members from being on the street after dark…Barrio Azteca's activities may be further limited as a result of the recent arrest and indictment [and since this report was issued, conviction, see] of several of the gang's key members.
Among details that came out in the trial, according to news reports:
- Barrio Azteca was heavily into drug dealing and collection of "taxes" or "quotas" from drug dealers. Such collections are nothing less than old-fashioned extortion, a staple of organized crime in the U.S. for decades. I write about similar operations run by the Mexican Mafia (with a "clica" of the 18th Street gang) in Los Angeles, and the Chicago "Motherland" Latin Kings in my forthcoming book from the University of Michigan Press, No Boundaries: Transnational Latino Gangs and American Law Enforcement.
- BA supplied cocaine to working women in El Paso area strip joints, who sold the drug to customers.
- The gang infiltrated the Federal Public Defender's office in El Paso. A paralegal there, Sandy Valles New, acted as a "bridge," forwarding messages from gangsters inside prison to those on the outside. More importantly, according to federal prosecutors, New also tried through her job to find out about the FBI's investigation of the gang and to obtain court filings. These could be used to track down informants within the gang. Attempted infiltration by female associates of law enforcement offices, public defenders, and public utilities is a common gang tactic in the U.S. and abroad.
- The BA gang has a paramilitary style structure, with specific ranks.
- Like most of these fraternal love-ins, the gangsters went at each other in the trench warfare of internal power struggles. One erstwhile boss, or "capo," David "Chico" Meraz, was allegedly murdered in a knife attack in Juarez, Mexico after he was forced from power by his beloved homies.
- BA gangsters turned some of their own over to Mexican gangsters to face charges of skimming drug money or otherwise disobeying cartel rules. The offending gang members were typically bound, gagged, wrapped in tape, stuffed in a vehicle, and dropped off in Juarez to be brutally disposed of with several rounds to the back of the head.
Michelletti told the court how he got into Barrio Azteca. Originally a member of a local gang called "Los Fatherless," he was sent to prison for assaulting a police officer. In prison he was approached by a BA "sponsor" who invited him to join the gang. "He (the sponsor) becomes your representative. Your padrino, your godfather. You have to show you are down for the organization." Throughout gangland, "being down" for the gang means being prepared to step up and commit brutally violent acts.
In the next part of this three-part series, Fairly Civil will look at a specific case that illustrates the mechanics of physically getting drugs across the border. In the meantime, the private intelligence and security service Stratfor has issued a truly excellent report and analysis of this drug movement, which can and should be read here.

The average Arlington taxpayer will likely see a higher bill next year, but not because tax rates are going up.
With $68 million in federal grants the Montgomery County Department of Transportation hopes the plan will improve pedestrian access among the National Institutes of Health, Metro and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
This fall, a project to widen U.S. 1/Richmond Highway
between Telegraph Road and Mount Vernon Memorial Highway will begin to help ease the
commute to Fort Belvoir.
Commuters traveling the 25 miles from the
Quantico Marine Corps Base to Fort Belvoir know
how frustrating the stop-and-go trip along U.S.
1 can be. Prince William County officials say
they hope state funding will be allocated for
two major projects to improve traffic flow.
Real estate taxes for the average homeowner in
Arlington County could increase hundreds of
dollars each year as regional development and
uncertainty about sequestration force the County
Board to adjust to new realities.
Drivers in Bethesda are familiar with BRAC-
related construction aimed at easing the traffic
crush around Walter Reed National Military
Center, and that work is progressing.
Office vacancy rates in Northern Virginia spiked
in the past year as the military\'s 2005 base
realignment and
closure plan bore down on the region.
The ramp near the Mark Center in Alexandria would
have \"no significant\" environmental impact on the

Tucked in between U.S. 50, U.S. 29 and the Capital Beltway, the Defense Health Headquarters will bring all Department of Defense military medical health care operations to a single campus. The facility will house more than 3,000 employees and is expected to be fully up and running by July.
Five stories to keep you informed and get you going.
All Department of Defense military medical health care operations will be on a single campus in the Falls Church area, and the move of more than 3,000 employees is something area residents didn\'t anticipate.
The Base Realignment and Closure program has caused a change in travel behavior at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda.
Military base closures have led to major changes for thousands of area commuters. But the growing congestion near Fort Belvoir is presenting a unique challenge for traffic enforcement.
The commutes along Rockville Pike and Connecticut Avenue are about to get a lot worse as lanes are torn up near the National Institutes of Health and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The Virginia Board of Education has pushed to November a vote on criteria that will be used to grade public schools.
The board has been trying to solidfy a grading formula since the General Assembly passed a law requiring schools to be assigned letter grades A through F.
Schools will be judged largely based on standardized tests and points will be assigned from different categories that will add up to the grades.
The board is asking for public comment. It plans to look at how test scores from transfer students and others with limited English proficiency should be factored in.
Some local school leaders oppose the letter grades, arguing they don't reflect a school's progress or challenges.
Media outlets report the grades are scheduled to debut next October.

| Ghetsis
(ゲーチス Geechisu)
|N (son)
|Team Plasma/Sage
|First Appearance:
|Pokémon Adventures
Plot Overview
Ghetsis first appeared in Accumula Town in Team Plasma's campaign, in which he proclaims that his goal is to free Pokémon from slavery by their Trainers. Many listened and released their Pokémon, prompting Black to become angry since most of the Pokémon were strongly attached to their trainers.
He appeared later, where he paralyzed Black with his Eelektross and stole the Dark Stone, which he then delivered to N.
When Team Plasma goes to the Pokémon League, Brycen suspects that they are behind the disappearing Gym Leaders. He is correct, however, Ghetsis uses Hawes as a hostage in order to prevent Brycen from freeing them. He adds Brycen to his collection of Gym Leaders on crucifixes and taunts Black. Black tries to battle him, but Hydriegon sweeps his entire team.
Black has a rematch with him at N's Castle and is able to gain the upper hand, with Hydreigon being unable to defeat a single Pokémon, and is wiped out by Galvantula's X-Scissor. Volcarona is able to camouflage itself in the sun, but it was knocked out by Carracosta's Stone Edge. Cofagrigus is able to overwhelm Musharna, but Braviary's Sky Drop defeats it. Even so, Eelektross is able to defeat Carracosta and Braviary, but is defeated by Emboar's Flare Blitz. Emboar is beaten by Seismitoad, who in turn is knocked out by Musharna's Hidden Power.

There are lots of workhorses at the Open Hearth wood yard on Maxim Road.
For years, it's been the place where men in the shelter and recovery program gain work experience so they can rebuild their lives.
But the biggest workhorse in the yard, everyone agreed, is the Bobcat used for their firewood selling program -- which makes up a third of the shelter's funding. Last year, they sold 1,575 cords of wood.
No piece of machinery is more important, executive director Marilyn Rossetti told me when we met at the yard this afternoon.
And that's a problem because the Bobcat is in tough shape. The mechanic, a former Open Hearth client, says it's clocked more than 8,000 hours in the yard, which in car talk adds up to about 300,000 miles.
Yeah, it's on it's last legs, or pistons, or whatever bobcats are made of.
The organization has raised about $17,000 so far. But they need another $30,000 to replace the machine before their wood season starts -- which is sooner than many of us enjoying the warm weather would like to think.
If you're on the fence about helping, here's some info that might urge you to give to a good cause:
• Open Hearth is in its 127th year helping homeless men to help themselves.
• In 2010, they housed approximately 800 homeless men.
• Work therapy begins in the wood yard.
• Men entering the Transitional Living Program work their initial two weeks for 40 hrs a week at our Woodyard.
• Achievements of men in the transitional program include:
81 % of the men accessed permanent housing.
100% of the men completed work therapy/life skills training.
74% of the men secured employment.
To help, send a donation, no matter how small, to Open Hearth, PO Box 1077., Hartford, CT. 06143.
Here is Rossetti's plea for the vital piece of machinery.

The GT-A1 is a vehicle in Grand Theft Auto 2 that can't be found at any of the districts of Anywhere City in a non-multiplayer game. It can be seen, since the Wang Cars are GT-A1s with numbers on the top, but can't be driven (entering in one of them teleports you to the Wang Cars site).
It is possible to drive the GT-A1 with the debug keys cheat. To do this, find a GT-A1 and press 0 on the number pad repeatedly a moment before you enter the vehicle. If done correctly, you exit the vehicle after you enter it. Then you can reenter the vehicle and drive it.
The name, GT-A1, is a play on words, meaning GTA 1.

This page collects resources and techniques for testing a CHDK build or port. See also Debugging
this is a work in progress, please expand!
General guidelines
The CHDK User Manual gives an good overview of many features. Working through this list and verifying that your port matches the documented behavior.
Note that many CHDK features are poorly documented or poorly defined. When in doubt, consult the source.
Testing overrides
When testing overrides from script or the override menu, it is important to know Canon firmware displays and EXIF information may not reflect the actual value used. The functionality of the override should be determined from the image.
Testing RAW/DNG
Verify DNGs validate with Adobe's DNG validator. dng_validate is included with the DNG SDK http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/dng/dng_sdk.html
Take a series of shots and verify that each DNG contains the correct image data, to ensure raw buffers are all identified correctly.
File counter
Take a several of raw or DNG and make sure that the file numbers match the jpeg, and that no raws are skipped. Try both continuous mode and individual shots.
File folders
In the raw menu, set "RAW File in Dir with JPEG" and make sure the file is saved in the same directory as the corresponding jpeg.
Free RAM
Use Miscellaneous-> Show Memory info in the CHDK menu. If the Free Memory value is less than 400kb or so, there is a high risk of running out of memory. The port developer may be able to enable ARAM or EXMEM to gain additional memory.
Viewport buffers
To verify that the "viewport" is identified correctly, you can use the zebra, edge overlay and PTP live view functions
Zebra test
- Aim the camera at a bright light. The over exposed indicator should match the light, regardless of where the light appears on the screen.
- If it is offset, the viewport dimensions are probably wrong.
- If the zebra has no obvious relationship to the scene, the viewport address is probably wrong.
Testing with scripts
There are some scripts which exercise various CHDK capabilities.
This script tests focus (subject distance) override capabilities for CHDK 1.3 and later. This script should be used on every new port to determine the which override methods work. The script is included in full builds as CHDK/SCRIPTS/TEST/MFTEST.LUA
Test procedure for new ports
- Set the camera to P mode
- Make sure Canon firmware MF and AF lock are not enabled
- Make sure AF and Servo AF are disabled in the Canon firmware shooting menu, if present.
- Enable all test methods and set "Bypass Interlocks?" to Yes in the script options.
- Run the script.
- If the camera crashes on a test, disable that test and repeat
A detailed log is recored in mf_<cameraname>.csv (the name may be truncated on dryos cameras).
The log is appended on each run, so a full record will be present if you have to run it multiple times.
If a test is listed as passed, the method works.
If a test is listed as failed, the method either doesn't work, or the difference between the requested value and the value the camera set exceeded the tolerance in the script. It should be possible to distinguish this in the log.
Working methods should be enabled in the port's platform_camera.h using the CAM_SD_OVER_IN_* defines.
Tests the lua standard libraries. This also exercises many C library functions.
- Download: [1] (also included in "full" install)
- Documentation: Lua#Lua_library_test
Test procedure
- run the script, with all of the 'skip' options set to zero.
- If all test succeeded, it will print "end ... OK" for each item.
- If any tests failed, examine A/llibtst.log
Tests the capture mode switching functions and mode map.
- Download: [2] (also included in "full" install)
- Documentation: Lua/Scripts:Standard/Test/Setmode
Test procedure
- start the camera in play mode
- run the script with all options set to zero
- the camera should switch to record, and switch rapidly between each known shooting mode
- If everything was OK, it will print pass
- If something failed, examine A/setmode.log
General purpose ubasic test.
- Download: ubtest.bas (also included in "full" install)
- Documentation: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=6592.0
Test procedure
- Start the camera in play mode
- Start the script with interactive = 1 and sleep between tests = 5
- The message "key test - set to end" will appear
- If you press up/down/left/right/menu/erase the corresponding key name should be printed.
- Press set to go to the next test
- The canon menu should open and selection change a couple times
- The camera will switch to record mode, and switch to P mode
- The camera will take shots as follows:
- auto exposure, using get_shooting, press shoot_half, press shoot_full etc
- auto exposure + or - 2 stops Tv, using shoot
- auto exposure + or - 2 stops Sv, using shoot

- "Wiiggenweld Potion? That's a really difficult one. Mind if I watch you make it? Good luck!"
- —Hermione Granger to Harry Potter[src]
The Wiggenweld Potion is a healing potion with the power to awaken a person from a magically-induced sleep.
A prince once used this potion to awaken a princess who had been given the Draught of Living Death by the Hag Leticia Somnolens. The prince first put some of the potion on his lips and then kissed the princess.
The instructions for brewing the Wiggenweld Potion are thus[4]:
- Add salamander blood until the potion turns red.
- Stir until the potion turns orange.
- Add more salamander blood, this time until it turns yellow.
- Stir until the potion turns green.
- Add more salamander blood, until the potion turns turquoise.
- Heat until it turns indigo.
- Add more salamander blood until the potion turns pink.
- Heat until the potion turns red.
- Add five lionfish spines.
- Heat until the potion turns yellow.
- Add five more lionfish spines.
- Add flobberworm mucus, until the potion turns purple.
- Stir until it turns red.
- Add more flobberworm mucus, this time until it turns orange.
- Stir till it turns yellow.
- Shake and add until it turns orange again.
- Add honeywater until it turns turquoise.
- Heat until it turns pink.
- Add salamander blood until it turns green.
"Wiggentree" or "Wiggen Tree" is the name which in the UK is given to the Mountain Ash (a species of the genus Sorbus) because, it has traditionally been used as an anti-witching device.
"Wiggen" from the old Breton means "strength", "bravery" or still "courage". As for "weld", it is an English word which means "join together by heating to the point of melting"'.
Thus, "Wiggenweld Potion" would mean literally "Welder Strength" or "Who Welds the Strength Potion".
Behind the scenes
- In many Harry Potter video games, Wiggenweld Potion is used to restore a character's Stamina Points, making it equivalent to health potions found in other sorts of video games.
- The Christmas song 99 Bottles of Wiggenweld Potion mentions this potion quite a few times.
- In the PS1 version of video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry can find completed Wiggenweld Potions on the floor or create one from a special cauldron, by pressing the buttons that appear on the screen. This will restore all of Harry's health or stamina.
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry can exchange Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans for Wiggentree bark and Flobberworm Mucus. Harry can then walk up to a special cauldron and make a Wiggenweld potion, which can be drunk to restore some of Harry's stamina. In most appearances the potion has a purple or magenta colour. Various cauldrons and Wiggentree stumps full of the potion can be found hidden all over the castle and its grounds, including within the Forbidden Forest.

text: Hats off to the May Sister Spokesman event with the theme of "Loving Your Hair." Many women shared the feedback that bringing attention to hair care in that forum was fun, educational, informative and appreciated. I was in the house as well, and the panel had the women engaged, responding to questions from hair history to learning the value of understanding product ingredients going into the body internally and externally, all in pursuit of having healthier hair. Loved that! I have to admit, I was very surprised, yet pleased, that I did not hear anyone comment or ask about "good hair" or "bad hair." It gives me hope that we are releasing the old tapes and negative stigma of "Afro-textured hair" as being unmanageable, not beautiful, and un-kept. When asked my definition of "good hair" or "bad hair," I ponder the question each time. Continue Reading →

Secretary of State John Kerry is embarking on his first official overseas voyage, bringing new ideas to capitals in Europe and the Middle East on how to end nearly two years of brutal violence in Syria.
Kerry leaves Washington on Sunday on a grueling nine-nation, 10-day trip that will bring him to America's traditional western European allies of Britain, Germany, France and Italy along with Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. In addition to Syria, he will focus on conflicts in Mali and Afghanistan and Iran's nuclear program.
Despite the numerous Middle East stops. Kerry will not travel to Israel or the Palestinian territories. He will wait to visit them when President Barack Obama goes there in March.

As the public anxiously awaits a new draft of the Constitutional Review Bill 2011, it has emerged that the government is likely to bow to public pressure by vesting more powers to Parliament rather than to the President.
In a new development the government is reported to have decided to work in line with the public needs to have the Bill providing for the President's decisions to be subjected to Parliamentary endorsement, contrary to the previous proposal which suggested the head of state's decisions would be final and conclusive.
The possibility for a big change in the original Bill was hinted for the first time on Monday, May 16 by the Deputy Attorney General, George Masaju, when addressing the annual general meeting of the Association of Local Authorities (ALAT) on the proposed Bill.
A key area to be affected by such changes is Part iii of the Bill which provides for the establishment of the Constitutional Commission to be tasked with administration of public views on the new national Constitution.
Whereas there is now a likelihood of the names of the members of the Commission to be submitted to the National Assembly for endorsement, the previous Bill rejected by the public during open hearings stipulated that:
The President may upon consultation with the President of Zanzibar and with the advice by the Attorney General and after considering any information or prevailing social, political and economic circumstances within the United Republic at all times and, by order published in the Gazette, establish a Commission to examine, analyse and recommend for enactment of a constitution.
Part iii of the Bill's details include appointment of Commission members, composition of the Commission, terms of reference, function of the commission including observation to the inviolability and sanctity of sensitive matters and, powers of the commission.
It also includes oath of members and secretary, cessation of membership, expenses of the commission, immunity of the commission and its secretariat as well as submission of the report.
The Deputy Attorney General then told the gathering that the presidential appointees to the constitutional Commission would be submitted to the Parliament seeking for endorsement.
He, however, did not clarify as to whether those were the only changes in the document scheduled to be tabled for the second time in the Parliament sometime later this year.
The Presidential powers on the road map to the enactment of the new national constitution was debated extensively during heated public hearings last month as most contributors called for such powers to be trimmed down to ensure checks and balance for good governance.
The Bill was entirely faulted in an unprecedented way resulting in government withdrawing it from Parliament, three days before being debated.
The Legislature also advised the government to have the Bill drafted in Kiswahili, print it in the local newspapers and provide more time so as to allow many Tanzanians an opportunity to give their views.
Under ordinary procedure of law enactment, the Bill has to be mentioned in the House for the second time before being subjected to Public hearing. After the withdrawal from the Parliament, the Bill was sent back to the Executive, necessitating a repeat of the procedure.
Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Standing Committee for Constitution, Legal and Administration was involved in a lengthy meeting on Saturday when receiving the re-drafted Bill from the Ministry of Constitution and Legal Affairs through the office of the Attorney General.
Under the existing constitution, the only presidential appointment which requires parliamentary endorsement is that of the Prime Minister. The requirement was first exercised in 1995 following the re-introduction of the multi-party system in Tanzania in 1992.
However, various democracy activists and civil society groups are demanding the exercise also cover other presidential key appointments such as cabinet ministers, High Court Judges, Heads of Police, Army and Chief of Intelligence – to be endorsed by the House.

Dr. Crutchfield, what do people mean when they use the term "health disparity"?
Merriam-Webster defines disparity as "the state of being different." The term "health disparities" refers to several conditions. It almost always refers to differences in groups relating to their socioeconomic status, race and/or gender. It can also mean differences in the presence of certain diseases within groups. It can mean the outcomes of disease treatment in these groups. It can mean the quality of health care and access to healthcare services that exist within these groups. Disparities can also be caused by a lack of efficiency within the healthcare system. As a result of the lack of efficiency, some studies (Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies) have speculated that approximately $50 billion are spent wastefully every year in the U.S. By reducing or eliminating health disparities, there could be a significant savings to the healthcare system accompanied by an overall increased quality of health care.

John Stossel | Confessions of a Media Maverick
Recorded: Friday, January 30, 2004
When pioneering television journalist John Stossel joined ABC-TV's "20/20" in 1981, his peers and an admiring public hailed him as a crusading consumer reporter. His hard-hitting, in-your-face exposes of con artists and corporate liars and crooks won him 19 Emmys and an avid following. But, could the use of government power and the Nanny State be the biggest scam of all?
In his new book, Give Me a Break, Stossel takes on a herd of sacred cows and examines how in the name of the "public interest," ambitious politicians and bureaucrats, intellectually lazy and opportunistic reporters, scaremongers, and predatory lawyers make life worse, especially for those most disadvantaged.
In this event John Stossel explained how his investigations of government waste, fraud and abuse; welfare for the rich; victimless crimes; self-serving interest groups; and sensationalist-media hyping (while ignoring real risks) reveal the crucial need to protect the civil and economic liberties of all people.
John Stossel, author of Give Me a Break. is co-anchor of ABC's "20/20." He also hosts ABC's "John Stossel Specials" for ABC television and radio, and ABCNews.com. In addition to having received 19 Emmy Awards, he has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.
David J. Theroux is Founder and President of the Independent Institute.

Kinston Police said a fast food restaurant was held up at gunpoint overnight in the east.
Employees at the Taco Bell at 1806 West Vernon Avenue called Kinston Police shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday night.
Investigators said three employees were at the fast-food chain restaurant during the late-night shift when two black men came inside with weapons.
Police said the men demanded money, took an undisclosed amount of cash and ran.
Investigators said the employees were so shaken up, they could not tell if the men had a get-away vehicle or ran on foot.
Police said the case is currently under investigation.

Hollie replies:
I am a 15 year-old girl and me and my boyfriend started to mess around. We ended up having sex but only for a few seconds, seriously, under 10 seconds. I know it wasn't a lot and I've read some of your other answers to others so I do know that even if it's short there is always a risk; but I honestly want to know what the chances are of me being pregnant from such a short amount of time of sex. I want an honest answer. Not just something you think you should say to scare me into using protection. We are both scared and will never do this again till we are older. I'm sick of worrying and just want an honest, straight forward answer. I've been having most of the same signs of having my period, but I've read that that could also be signs of pregnancy so I don't know what to think. Please help me. Thank you.
As you know, with any genital contact there is always a risk of pregnancy. According to our article What's the Risk? Easy Pregnancy Risk Assessments, intercourse without ejaculate gives you a low to moderate risk of pregnancy. If it's been less than 120 hours since this risk, you may want to consider Emergency Contraception.
Is there a reason you have not been using protection? Condoms are relatively cheap and easy to use AND they protect you from pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
You and your partner are at much higher risk for STIs than you are for pregnancy. If you AND your partner have not yet been tested for STIs, you need to do so now and you need to use condoms for ALL genital contact until then.
