Xbox 360 Freezes During Halo 3 Beta
Posted 26 May 2007 - 05:41 AM
My Xbox 360 was giving me the 3ROL a while back and I did the Xclamp mod and this cured it.
My situation seems to be a bit different from what most people are experiencing. When Halo 3 freezes, it is generally in heavy traffic firefights, or grenades in the face explosions. Not always, but usually. NO graphical glitches or anything/no checkered patterns etc... And after it freezes, for about 4-5 seconds I can hear the sound playing. And the strangest thing is that even though the game is frozen, I can hit the Xbox Logo on my controller and I hear the "blip" noise when it comes up.
When I proceed to hit the eject button on my Xbox 360, it takes me back to the dashboard and I am disconnected from XBL. But I can get right back on again and keep playing. I played for 7 hours with it freezing once, but now I can't seem to play 1 hour without it freezing.
My Xbox 360 is out of warranty, and the seal is broken, so MS will not be getting it back.
I know it probably isn't heat related because when your Xbox 360 freezes because of GPU/CPU overheating, you have to shut down and powerup your Xbox 360 to get back to the dash, whereas I am able to just hit eject to bring it to dash.
Faulty DVD laser? Or?
Help is much appreciated

Just remember it is a beta, not the final version of the game, so glitches like that may be just due to the game, not your 360. Also, since the halo 3 game isnt on a disc (though, it sounds like you have the disk for it or something, im not sure weather you could get the beta on a disk or anything?)
I would test the 360 on another game on XBL and see if the same thing happens. Its just so uncertain what the problem may be especially when your playing a game thats still in the beta stage....

So it only freezes in the halo 3 beta?

It just seems weird to me that my friends have been playing for hours on end with no errors, and I can't go without one or two games without it freezing up.
I had originally messed up setting up the ports on my router for XBL (3074/88) so I re-did it inside my router. Maybe this will help because I noticed that whenever it froze it kicked me off XBL.
I'm also going to try redownloading the beta/clearing the cache.
I bought this Xbox 360 a while ago, but never really bought any games for it. Crackdown is the only other game beside the Halo 3 beta that I've played. I've played tons of demos as well, and never had one single problem. I'll try out Crackdown on XBL, and see what happens. But I've just got a feeling this is Halo 3 beta specific...If all else fails, I'll delete everything on my HDD, a complete format, then try everything up fresh.
Just so frustrating to have things that are supposed to work not work...

Have you tried clearing the cache on the hard drive, it's better to do that than a full format.
Yeah, I cleared the cache, and loaded up Halo 3 beta again, I did the 2 updates, and then boom the first game it freezes up again.
Haven't tried it out today with all the things I plan on trying. Will get back here and post what is successful. One thing I did find was that the UDP port 88 controls patches being downloaded, and my ports weren't configured properly so that may have caused something to go bonkers.
Posted 27 May 2007 - 03:01 AM
Nope. Xbox Live is ALL UDP, and updates are 'linked' to the vendors(maker of game) update specific IP address, and 88 is for the common internet http. It may have been that it did use that port, or maybe looked at the logger you used wrong or whatever, the case is that it will always use port 3074. I just cleared my cache on my 360 to test this again, xbox live does use other ports, but I've rarely seen it use 88.
I got my updates from different IP's + not a single packet hit port 88, and looked at the first packet of each one to verify it was an update starting, the second packet looks like...
GET... Content/4d52032/3098jd39uj2njd/... I'm guessing that, I logged too much and lost the actual packet.
I looked at the packet that 'started' the download, it does indeed get from http sources... funny enough on servers running apache I quite uselessly found out lol.
Idk, you did say something with opening/configuring ports, do you have the forwarded or something? Maybe you through your configuration are getting it on that port... I have seen live on that port before just through normal use, not in large amounts of data though just a few 10-15 packets.
Have you tried just, playing non-stop on any other games? Go a whole day or so playing all different things and don't turn it off, but don't play h3, it probably is just an h3 beta problem with your setup you got going.

It couldn't be a bad dvd drive becuase crackdown is only used to launch the beta. The beta itself is run off the harddrive. I got the beta though email where they sent me a key and I just go to the demos part of the dashboard and run it there. Since you said you can press eject and go to the dashboard that makes it sound like its a hard drive problem. Try re-downloading the beta.
Thanks Prankster/BullWizz for the advice/ideas.
Since I had both downloaded the Beta through a wireless connection, and applied the updates through a wireless connection I decided to bring my Xbox 360 down to my router and hook it up directly. After I hooked it up directly, I logged onto live, deleted everything Crackdown/Halo 3, cleared the cache then loaded up Crackdown again.
Downloaded the Halo 3 beta, started it and applied the 2nd update once it started. Then, once I knew everything I needed was downloaded, I took it back upstairs and hooked it back up to my wireless connection. I played for a long time with zero freezing. It looks like it was either a problem with my router setup, or downloading the beta wirelessly. Anyone else having this problem should try what I did. It seems to have worked for me.
Posted 30 May 2007 - 03:24 AM
Is this looking like a HDD problem? A corrupt sector or something?
I've gotten a few PMs from people randomly googling my thread and telling me they have the EXACT same problem...Is there something we are all missing? If I have to play it over a direct connection I'll be very pissed off...I'm using the MN-740 original Xbox wireless adaptor.

Dont forget it IS a beta build. All 360's are not identical, some may have memory timings which barely meet QC standards...etc. Bungie may be aware of the issue if it is widespread, and may even have a solution. With only a week left in the beta, do they care? I am not saying not to look further for a solution, but it may be that there isn't one, at least not a solution attainable by the enduser.
The memory timings can be different from Xbox to Xbox? That would be horrible QC.
I think it has something to do with playing wirelessly. All the people who seem to have this problem have been on wireless connections. I mean...I get around 1 bar where my Xbox 360 is, so it is totally possible. And the fact that it kicks me off XBL when it freezes..

yah it crashd on me once but i have had no problem since.. this has happend to me on a couple beta games for pc also. just a bug, theyll fix it.
Hopefully, looks like I'll have to put up with this shit for a while. Thanks Bungie.

Browser Address Book as Firefox Addon
Users commonly on the Internet often maintain many online contacts. Mozilla now wants to help manage these contacts with a special Firefox addon.
The new Contacts addon creates an address book in Firefox that provides access to local and remote friends and buddies. The special aspect of the addon is that it's controlled by the browser and the browser determines which application or website can access the contact. The Firefox extension also provides autocompletion of contact email addresses in forms, for example.
According to Mozilla Lab's announcement in their blog, the Contacts addon is still in an experimental stage and currently supports contact synchronization with GMail, Twitter and the Mac OS X address book only. However, a generic importer tool already allows bringing in contacts from desktop or Web-based sources.

Bluesy Sleepin' Dogs rock at Last Shot
Relatively new Erie band the Sleepin' Dogs play one song that pretty much encapsulates its approach and defines its mindset.
That song is "Whipping Post," the epic by the Allman Brothers Band. The Sleepin' Dogs, however, fuse that cover with a version by Kamchatka, a Swedish power trio that added a little more muscle and psychedelic flair.
Similarly, Sleepin' Dogs fuse generations, including a father-and-son combination. So, they draw from both older influences and newer ones, though they all adhere to the same aesthetic -- they're rooted in the blues.
Drummer Erich Semelka and his son, stellar vocalist Brad Walker, previously played in the DTz with guitarist Royce Wilson. After that band ended in late 2010, Walker took a little time off to spend with his growing young family. When Walker's itch to sing returned, his dad began rounding up another band. Sleepin' Dogs also include guitarist Nick Hayes, bassist Todd Woolstrom and Lee Clark, who recently joined on keyboards.
"We knew we wanted to stay in the blues roots. We all like the blues, and Brad likes to sing the blues," Semelka said. "So, we wanted to do the bluesy, heavier rock stuff, or take a classic blues -- like Muddy Waters' 'Hoochie Coochie Man' or John Lee Hooker's 'Boom Boom' -- and make it a little heavier.
"Then, we have the younger guys in the band, like Brad and Nick who throw some newer music ideas at us," Semelka said.
They teach Sleepin' Dogs new tricks, such as songs by the Black Keys, City and Colour, Tragically Hip and Black Country Community, a short-lived supergroup with Joe Bonamassa and Glenn Hughes.
"It's stuff that most people really don't know," Semelka said of the newer bands. "But it's just great-sounding, grab-you kind of tunes."
It helps that Walker is a superb, pitch-perfect, velvety vocalist who can dig deep into raw, ravaged material, but also slay you with delicate material like Led Zeppelin's "What Is and Should Never Be."
"I think he gets it from his mother," Semelka said, with a laugh. I can (sing), but it's tough doing both. I'm fine, just beating on the drums."
Semelka and his son click musically on stage and off.
"It's cool to go to concerts with your son, and to be in a band with him. We're tight there," Semelka said. "One of our earliest shows was a Bob Schneider concert up in Cleveland. We're both big Bob Schneider fans; he's a blues, rockin' guy out of Texas.
"We've got tickets to the Black Keys on Sept. 6," he added. "That's Brad's birthday. I called him up and said, 'Don't make any plans. We're going up to see the Black Keys.'"
They play several Black Keys songs, including "I Got Mine." In Sleepin' Dogs, they got each other.

I created a custom NSView for a NSTableView.
I am trying to fill the fields I created in it using the Interface Builder but I can't. I would say each component is properly linked and the code is OK.
This is the function
- (NSView *)tableView:(NSTableView *)tableView viewForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)tableColumn row:(NSInteger)row
Account *account = (Account *)[self.dataSource objectAtIndex:row];
AccountTableCellViewController *controller = [[AccountTableCellViewController alloc] init];
controller.subtitleLabel.stringValue = account.name;
[controller.titleLabel setStringValue:account.num];
NSLog(@"%@", controller.titleLabel);
return [controller view];
And here is the picture of the bindings:
The table shows all the rows correctly, but is not filling the NSTextFields as expected.
This is how it looks like (not updating views):
Any suggestion?

Sex and Gender-Based Misconduct encompasses a broad range of behaviors including sex and/or gender discrimination which may or may not be sexual in nature. Sexual harassment, sexual assault and intimate partner violence such as domestic, dating violence and stalking are other types of gender-based misconduct prohibited by law and this policy. Gender-based misconduct can be perpetrated by men or women and can occur between people of the same or different sex.
Examples of gender-based misconduct include pressure to date or engage in a romantic or intimate relationship, unwelcome touching, kissing, hugging; inappropriate remarks about a person's gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation; inappropriate sexual innuendo or humor; unnecessary or unwelcome references to parts of the body; and pressure for or forced sexual activities.
Sexual harassment is a type of sex discrimination and is prohibited by Title IX and by Manhattan College policy. Sexual harassment may include unwelcome sexual advances, requests to engage in sexual conduct or for sexual favors, and other behavior of a sexual nature where:
- Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's education or employment;
- Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic or employment decisions affecting the individual; and/or
- Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual's academic or work performance, or of creating an intimidating, hostile or demeaning educational or employment environment.
Sexual harassment can be verbal, visual or physical and can occur regardless of the relationship, position, gender, or sexual orientation of the parties involved. It can be overt (e.g., in a suggestion that a person can get a higher grade by submitting to sexual advances), or implied from conduct or circumstances. Sexual harassment can also consist of unwelcome attempts to make an educational or professional relationship into a personal one. It may include severe, persistent and pervasive unwelcome sexual flirtation or inappropriate or derogatory language, including jokes involving individuals or classes of people, or persistent requests for dates. A single incident or few incidents may not necessarily amount to harassment, but a single extreme incident could constitute prohibited discrimination or harassment. Sexual harassment can also include the display of offensive materials, unwelcome physical contact, or serious physical abuse such as sexual assault or rape.
Sexual Assault is any non-consensual, intentional physical contact of a sexual nature. Sexual assault includes:
- Non-Consensual Sexual Contact: Any intentional sexual touching, however slight and with any object or body part, that is without consent (as defined in this Policy) and/or by threat, intimidation, coercion, duress, violence, or by causing a reasonable fear of harm. This includes intentional contact with breasts, buttocks, groin, mouth, or genitals, as well as any other intentional bodily contact that occurs in a sexual manner.
- Rape: the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, forcibly or without affirmative consent or where the victim is incapable of affirmative consent due to mental or physical incapacity. Statutory rape is non-forcible sexual intercourse with a person who is under the statutory age of consent. In New York, the statutory age of consent is 17 years old.
Domestic Violence may include violent acts by a current or former spouse; by a person with whom the victim shares a child in common; by a person who is or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse; by a person similarly situated to a spouse; between a parent and child; between members of the same household in an intimate relationship; or by any other person similarly situated. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional or economic in nature.
Dating Violence can be violence or abusive behavior used by one partner to gain or maintain control over another partner. It can be violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social, romantic or intimate relationship with the victim. The existence of such a relationship will be determined by factors such as the length of the relationship, the type of relationship, and the frequency of interaction between the persons involved.
Stalking is unwanted or obsessive attention by an individual or group toward a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or to suffer substantial emotional distress. Stalking may include the monitoring of an individual online or involve the use of social media, email or other technology. It may also include unwanted observation or surveillance.
Affirmative Consent is a knowing, voluntary, and mutual decision among all participants to engage in sexual activity. Consent can be given by words or actions, as long as those words or actions create clear permission regarding willingness to engage in the sexual activity. Silence or lack of resistance, in and of itself, does not demonstrate consent. This definition does not vary based upon a participant's sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
- Consent to any sexual act or prior consensual sexual activity between or with any party does not necessarily constitute consent to any other sexual act;
- Consent is required regardless of whether the person initiating the act is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol;
- Consent may be initially given but withdrawn at any time;
- Consent cannot be given when a person is incapacitated, which occurs when an individual lacks the ability to knowingly choose to participate in sexual activity. Incapacitation may be caused by the lack of consciousness or being asleep, being involuntarily restrained, or if an individual otherwise cannot consent. Depending on the degree of intoxication, someone who is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicants may be incapacitated and therefore unable to consent;
- Consent cannot be given when it is the result of any coercion, intimidation, force, or threat of harm;
- When consent is withdrawn or can no longer be given, sexual activity must stop;
- Children under 17 years of age cannot legally consent under New York State Law to having sex or sexual contact with an adult (i.e., someone who is 17 years of age or older). Any sexual contact in New York between a child under 17 and an adult is a crime, and any such illegal behavior between a College student under 17 and a College employee or employee of a contracted service provider to the College will be reported to an appropriate law enforcement agency. Other jurisdictions may have different standards, and any illegal behavior in such jurisdiction also will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Incapacitation: occurs when an individual lacks the ability to knowingly choose to participate in sexual activity. Incapacitation may be caused by the lack of consciousness or being asleep, being involuntarily restrained, or if an individual otherwise cannot consent. Depending on the degree of intoxication, someone who is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or other intoxicants may be incapacitated and therefore unable to consent. Evaluating incapacitation requires an assessment of an individual's:
- Decision-making ability;
- Awareness of consequences;
- Ability to make informed judgments;
- Capacity to appreciate the nature and the quality of the act; and
- Level of consciousness.
An individual who engages in sexual activity with someone the individual knows or reasonably should know is incapable of making a knowing, reasonable decision about whether to engage in sexual activity is in violation of this Policy.
Note about Alcohol and Drug Use: the consumption of alcohol and other drugs can have unintended consequences and create an atmosphere of confusion as to whether consent was freely given. If students do consume alcohol or other substances they are encouraged to do so responsibly.
See Appendix A for the College's Alcohol and Drug Use Amnesty policy.
Alcohol and Drug Use
The consumption of alcohol and other drugs can have unintended consequences and create an atmosphere of confusion as to whether consent was freely given. If students do consume alcohol or other substances they are encouraged to do so responsibly.
- An individual's consumption of alcohol or other drugs never places them at fault for being sexually assaulted or victimized by any other form of gender-based misconduct.
The College's primary concern is for the safety and well-being of its students and other members of the College community. Therefore it is imperative that you report sexual assault, harassment and other forms of gender-based misconduct, even if those involved may be violating other College policies, such as those regarding underage alcohol consumption. The College expects that members of the community will look out for each other and immediately report troubling behavior so that the College can put a stop to it, address the effects of the behavior and prevent its recurrence. Students who report or cooperate with an investigation of sexual assault, domestic or dating violence and stalking will not be charged with violating the Alcohol or Drug policies of Manhattan College related to that violation. However, the student may be referred without conduct charges to the Alcohol and Drug Counselor available through the Manhattan College Counseling Center to support their health and well-being. If you are not sure whether misconduct has occurred please contact the Title IX coordinator or one of the other individuals listed.
Safe Bystander Interventions
Observers of a sexual assault or other types of gender or intimate partner based misconduct such as domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, may be able to help the victim. However, it is important that you do so in a positive manner and in a way that keeps you and the victim safe. Appropriate interventions will depend on the situation. Safe and appropriate options for bystanders may include calling the public safety office in violent or potentially violent situations, intervening if you believe someone is in a potentially uncomfortable or unsafe situation, and/or encouraging the target of such conduct to report the incident and seek support.
Manhattan College will not tolerate retaliation. Retaliation is prohibited by Title IX. Any attempt by a member of or visitor to the Manhattan College community to intimidate, penalize, or threaten a person who reports or who is otherwise involved or cooperating in, a report of discrimination, misconduct, or harassment is strictly prohibited. Any person found to have participated in an act of retaliation will be disciplined accordingly. In some cases knowingly making a false report of discrimination or harassment can amount to retaliation.
Manhattan College's greatest concern is for the safety and physical and mental health of all its students, faculty, staff, and guests and is committed to maintaining a welcoming and supportive educational climate. Therefore, the following procedures are available to all students, staff, administrators and faculty who feel they have experienced or witnessed gender-based misconduct, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, sexual harassment and gender discrimination as discussed above.
The College will promptly and equitably respond to all issues involving gender-based misconduct. It may be necessary to adjust on a case-by-case basis the procedures and timeframes discussed in this section due to the nature and complexity of the issues, the parties involved, and the College's academic calendar. Both the complainant and the accused will be notified of procedural or timeframe adjustments.
Reporting Misconduct
All members of the College community, including students, staff, faculty, vendors, and visitors who experience, witness, or hear about gender-based misconduct, including sexual harassment and sexual assault, are encouraged to immediately contact the College's Title IX Coordinator, Vicki Cowan, in person at 305 Memorial Hall, by phone at (718) 862-7392, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or reach out to any of deputy Title IX Coordinators listed on the college website. In an emergency please call 9-1-1 or the Public Safety at (718) 862-7333. There is no time limit on how long after an incident you can make a report of misconduct. However, the College's ability to respond to a report may be hindered by the length of time between the alleged misconduct and the report itself.
Once the College is informed of alleged misconduct, the Title IX Coordinator or her designee will notify the complainant and the accused of their rights. See Appendix B for Students' Bill of Rights. The Title IX Coordinator will help the parties navigate the formal complaint process, access appropriate medical, emotional or academic services, discuss possible interim arrangements during the investigation and resolution phases, understand your rights, and answer your questions along the way. The College will endeavor to promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigate and resolve all complaints. The Title IX Coordinator and/or her designee will therefore respond to every report of alleged sex or gender-based misconduct, facilitate the implementation of measures to stop the behavior, and take steps to prevent its recurrence.
Reporting Misconduct to Law Enforcement
If you have been the victim or target of a sexual assault or other type of sexual misconduct, you may also contact the NYPD in addition to the College. The local NYPD precinct is the 50th Precinct and is located 3450 Kingsbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10463 and can be reached at (718) 543-5700. You do not have to file a report with the police, but if you would like to do so, someone from the College can accompany you to the local police precinct to support you through the process. The College can also provide you with information about the process of obtaining a judicial order of protection. In certain circumstances, depending on the type of conduct alleged and the parties involved, the College may be independently obligated to contact the police. The College will continue its own investigation into the alleged conduct, regardless of whether or not the police decide to pursue their own investigation. The College will cooperate with all police investigations and will honor and enforce any judicial no-contact, restraining, or protective orders the parties may obtain outside the College process.
Any College official (e.g. faculty member, residence life staff member, dean) informed of possible discrimination, harassment or sex or gender-based misconduct must report it to the Title IX Coordinator. However, certain College officers who serve in a privileged professional capacity (e.g. rape crisis counselors, medical service providers, counselors, and the clergy) are not necessarily bound by this requirement, except as required by law. Confidential resources are listed below. Even College offices and employees who cannot guarantee confidentiality will maintain your privacy to the greatest extent possible. The information you provide of a non-confidential resource will be relayed only as necessary for the Title IX Coordinator to investigate and/or seek a resolution.
If a reporting individual discloses an incident to a College employee who is responsible for responding to or reporting sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, but wishes to maintain confidentiality or does not consent to the College's request to initiate an investigation, the Title IX Coordinator will weigh the request against the College's obligation to provide a safe, non-discriminatory environment for all member of its community. The College will assist with academic, housing, transportation, employment and other reasonable and available accommodations regardless of reporting choices.
Upon receipt of a report, the Title IX Coordinator and those assisting with an investigation and those participating in any disciplinary proceedings, will make all reasonable efforts to maintain the privacy of those involved. The College understands that reports of this nature can be difficult, emotional and stressful. Therefore the College will only share information as is needed to conduct a prompt, thorough and effective investigation. All members of the College community should understand that even if the complainant asks the College not to pursue an investigation, or decides to attempt to resolve the situation informally, the College may still need to investigate the allegations and address the conduct.
Even Manhattan College office and employees who cannot guarantee confidentiality will maintain your privacy to the greatest extent possible. The information you provide to a non-confidential resource will be relayed only as necessary for the Title IX Coordinator to investigate and/or seek a resolution.
To speak with someone at Manhattan College on a confidential basis, the following options are available:
- Father George Hill, College Chaplain
- Counselors in the Manhattan College Counseling Center
- Amy Dall, Nurse Practitioner in the Student Health Center
After the receipt of a report of gender-based misconduct, the Title IX Coordinator or one of her deputy coordinators will meet with the complainant to gather as much information as possible. The Title IX Coordinator and/or her designee(s) will also meet with any witnesses or individuals who may have information about the conduct at issue. The Title IX Coordinator or her designee will counsel the accused on the available academic and other emotional supports available.
If after this initial fact-finding phase the College determines that a violation of College policy may have occurred, it will proceed with a full investigation. The accused will be notified that an investigation is underway, including the date, time, location and factual allegations regarding the complaint, and will be afforded the opportunity to independently meet with the Title IX Coordinator or her designee to review this procedure and to have his/her rights explained. The Title IX Coordinator or her designee(s) will also meet with the accused to listen to his or her side of the story and to gather any evidence he or she may offer to better understand the nature of the conduct at issue. The accused will also have the opportunity to submit names of individuals with knowledge of the situation and the College will follow up with those individuals. The Title IX Coordinator or her designee will counsel the accused on the available academic and other emotional supports available. The College will notify the parties in writing prior to any meeting that they are required or eligible to attend.
During an investigation, the Title IX Coordinator or an appropriate designee may ask for written statements and other documents or evidence which may aid in the investigation. Therefore, it is important to preserve all evidence associated with the conduct or that you think might help others understand what happened. Such evidence can include text messages, Facebook or Instagram posts, photos, voicemails, emails, or items of clothing.
Interim Measures
During the investigation process interim measures will be discussed with the parties and implemented as may be appropriate. Possible interim measures available to students, faculty, staff or other individuals participating in this process may include a change in class schedule, housing arrangements and/or work arrangements. The parties may request that the College issue a "no contact" order, which prohibits the parties from interacting and restricts one or both party's access to certain areas of campus. "No contact" orders are usually not indefinite and either party may request that the Title IX Coordinator or her designee amend or revoke a "no contact" order. Intentional and/or repeated violations of a College-issued "no contact" order are a violation of this Policy and may result in additional disciplinary charges and disciplinary sanctions.
Depending on the nature of the problem, possible supports and remedies for the parties involved, may include depending on availability and resources, but are not limited to: ensuring the complainant and the accused do not attend the same classes, live in the same residence halls, or eat at the same time in the same dining halls; provide academic, counseling, or medical services; and arrange for the parties to retake or withdraw from a course without penalty.
In some misconduct cases mediation may be an appropriate interim measures. However, in cases that involve a potential sexual assault or other forms of sexual violence or intimidation, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, mediation is not an appropriate option. Mediation will only be pursued with the consent of both the complainant and the accused. At any time during the mediation process the complainant may stop the mediation and the matter will proceed to a formal investigation and hearing phase.
Both the accused and the complainant will be updated throughout the investigation process. At the close of an investigation, the Title IX Coordinator or her designee with prepare an Investigation Report detailing the content of interviews and the evidence gathered both parties will be provided access to the Investigation Report and be given an opportunity to correct any inaccuracies that they believe exist.
Once the investigation is complete the matter will then proceed to a hearing before a hearing officer designated by the College in order to determine whether the accused is responsible, in whole or in part, for the alleged misconduct. The hearing officer will make this assessment based on a preponderance of the evidence. The Title IX Coordinator will forward the Investigation Report to the hearing officer for his or her review. The parties will be notified in writing of the date, time, and location of the hearing. Both parties are encouraged to attend the hearing. Arrangements can be made for a party to appear at the hearing by video or audio conference.
Formal Hearing
The accused and the complainant have the right to challenge the choice of hearing officer if the appointment of a specific hearing officer creates a real or perceived conflict of interest. The hearing officer will be chose based on the parties involved and the nature of the allegations.
Each party will have an opportunity to submit further evidence prior to the hearing and will be afforded the opportunity to review this additional evidence before the start of the hearing. In the hearing, Manhattan College officers will discuss relevant facts of the case, and generally would not seek or bring forward information about prior sexual history with a non-party, or a party's mental health diagnosis and treatment. If this is a concern for either party, they may request to exclude information about prior sexual history with persons other than the other party, as well as their own mental health diagnosis and treatment. Consistent with the law, the College will determine what is and is not relevant information for consideration. Both parties will be notified before the hearing of the possible sanctions. At the hearing both parties will have the opportunity to present witnesses and testimony. The burden of proof will not be solely on any one party. Should the accused fail to attend the hearing, the hearing may continue in the accused's absence.
The hearing officer will make a determination based on the preponderance of the evidence, which means he or she will determine whether it is reasonable to conclude, based on the evidence available, that it is more likely than not that the alleged conduct occurred. Both parties may bring an advisor or support person of choice with them to the hearing, and during any phase of proceeding discussed in this Policy. Advisors/support persons are not be allowed to participate in the hearing process itself.
The complainant and the accused will simultaneously be notified in writing of the hearing officer's determination and any sanction imposed. After the hearing, but before the hearing officer delivers his/her written determination of responsibility and sanction, if any, the parties will have the opportunity to submit an impact statement for the hearing officer's consideration with regard to sanction. Both parties will be given written notice of the outcome of the hearing, including findings of fact, decisions made, rationale, and sanction(s) if applicable.
Appropriate disciplinary sanctions will be determined according to the parties involved and the severity and/or duration of the conduct. During this phase, past findings of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking may be considered. Possible sanctions include exclusion from certain College buildings, classes, residence halls, and College events; suspension, expulsions, and/or discharge from employment or enrollment. Individuals doing business at the College or third party vendors found to be in violation of this policy may be banned from the College and the College will notify their respective employers of all charges and disciplinary outcomes. Visitors may be banned from the College. Possible sanctions for gender-based misconduct, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking are suspension, termination of employment, and expulsion.
Resolution and Appeal
Both the complainant and the accused have the right to appeal the outcome of the hearing officer's determination of responsibility and/or sanction. An appeal may be made in only certain limited circumstances, as follows: (1) a party believes a procedural error substantially impacted the original finding or sanction; (2) a party has substantial new evidence that was not available during the investigation or hearing and which would substantially impact the original finding or sanction; or (3) a party feels that the sanction is substantially outside the scope or guidelines set by the Manhattan College Community Standards and Student and Faculty Code of Conduct.
Requests for an appeal must be made in writing, include the grounds for appeal, and be received by the Title IX Coordinator within 5 business days of receipt of notification of the hearing officer's decision.
Appeals of the hearing administrator's decision will be heard by an Appeal Panel. All appellate decisions are final. Both parties will be informed of the outcome of any appeal.
* Notwithstanding the foregoing procedures, findings and recommendations for sanction concerning faculty and represented employees will be further subject to the provisions of the appropriate collective bargaining agreement or the faculty handbook/policy.
Depending on the nature of the allegations, possible supports and remedies for the complainant that could be implemented during an investigation/hearing/appeal as well as after its conclusion, may include, but are not limited to: providing an escort to ensure that the complainant feels safe traveling between work, school and home; ensuring the complainant and the accused do not attend the same classes, live in the same residence halls, or eat in the same dining halls; providing academic, counseling, or medical services; and arranging for the complainant to retake or withdraw from a course without penalty.
Transcript Notations
Students suspended or expelled for committing an act of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking or a "violent crime," as defined by the Clery Act,[1] will have a notation placed on their transcript as follows: "suspended after a finding of responsibility for a code of conduct violation" or "expelled after a finding of responsibility for a code of conduct violation." The College will consider requests to remove transcript notations. A transcript notation will not be removed prior to one year after conclusion of the suspension. Expulsion notations will not be removed in any case. Appeals seeking removal of a transcript notation may be addressed to the Title IX Coordinator. If a finding of responsibility is vacated for any reason, a corresponding transcript notation will be removed.
If an accused student withdraws from the College while charges are pending and declines to complete the disciplinary process the following notation will be placed on his/her transcript: "withdrew with conduct charges pending."
Generally the investigation and resolution process will take 60 days. However, that timeframe may be reasonably amended on a case by case basis depending on the time of year, the nature of the allegations, the parties involved, or as may be necessary to ensure a thorough and fair investigation of the allegations.
Corrective Action
The College will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that future harassment, discrimination and misconduct does not occur and that the parties and those who participated in the investigation and hearing process do not experience any form of retaliation. The College will also take appropriate steps to address the discriminatory effects of the misconduct including offering training programs, presentations that address issues of sex discrimination, sexual harassment and gender-based misconduct, as well as counseling services and academic support.
If you experience subsequent harassing, discriminatory, threatening or retaliatory conduct, you should immediately report it to the Title IX Coordinator. Someone from the College will follow up with both parties after the resolution of the matter to determine whether there have been any new or recurring misconduct.
Should a complainant or any other individual experience continuing, additional or new forms of discrimination, harassment, misconduct, or retaliation he or she should immediately inform the Title IX Coordinator or one of her designees listed on the College website.
Standard Minimum Sanctions (if found responsible) May Result In
- Suspension or Expulsion from the College

Appendix A
Alcohol and/or Drug Use Amnesty
The health and safety of every student at the College is of utmost importance. The College recognizes that students who have been drinking and/or using drugs (whether such use is voluntary or involuntary) at the time that violence, including but not limited to domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault occurs may be hesitant to report such incidents due to fear of potential consequences for their own conduct. The College strongly encourages students to report domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault to institution officials. A bystander acting in good faith or a reporting individual acting in good faith that discloses any incident of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault to a College official or law enforcement will not be subject to a Code of Conduct action for violations of alcohol and/or drug use policies occurring at or near the time of the commission of the domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or sexual assault.
The College will provide students with the resources to respond to high risk drinking and other drug abuse. In a crisis, students are encouraged to seek assistance by contacting the Public Safety Department at 718-862-7333 or the College's Counseling Center at 718-862-7394.
Appendix B
Students' Bill of Rights
All students have the right to:
- Make a report to local law enforcement and/or state police.
- Have disclosures of domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault treated seriously.

- Participate in a process that is fair, impartial, and provides adequate notice and a meaningful opportunity to be heard.
- Be treated with dignity and to receive from the institution courteous, fair, and respectful health care and counseling services, where available.
- Be free from any suggestion that the reporting individual is at fault when these crimes and violations are committed, or should have acted in a different manner to avoid such crimes or violations.
- Describe the incident to as few Manhattan College representatives as practicable and not to be required to unnecessarily repeat a description of the incident.
- Be free from retaliation by the Manhattan College, the accused and/or the respondent, and/or their friends, family and acquaintances within the jurisdiction of the institution.
- Access to at least one level of appeal of a determination.
- Be accompanied by an advisor of choice who may assist and advise a reporting individual, accused, or respondent throughout the judicial or conduct process including during all meetings and hearings related to such process.

Comment IT != SA (Score 2) 233
Information Technology covers an incredibly wide range of careers, only a small portion of which are system/network administration related. Yes, in some organizations, the "cloud" may reduce the need for traditional SAs, but it is simply the latest in a long-term trend of reduction in force for that sector.
Automation has already decimated the SA workforce. Long gone are the days when companies needed armies of SAs to maintain datacenters of servers. The datacenters are still there, but are being maintained by much smaller teams of SAs using automation rather than manpower. Many large corporations who haven't (and won't) embrace the cloud, have already gotten rid of their SA staff, relying instead on vendors like HP to provide both hardware and SA level support as a bundled package. There are still SAs, of course, but they increasingly work for one of the main vendors, rather than being distributed throughout many corporations.

News Picks : Lens implant monitors for glaucoma
New Scientist: Glaucoma, the second most common cause of blindness, occurs when fluid builds up in the eye and damages the optic nerve. To monitor intraocular pressure, researchers have developed a tiny sensor that can be embedded into a synthetic lens. The sensor employs a fluid column, whose rise and fall can be read with a smartphone fitted with an optical adapter. Such constant monitoring would allow for better treatment of the disease, which involves the prescription of pharmaceuticals to lower the fluid pressure. Although the current device is limited to cataract patients who must have their natural lenses replaced anyway, the researchers are working on a standalone sensor that could find wider use.

Satire, Sarcasm, and Spite in Civil Society
July 13-17, 2016

Skip to comments.Sailor says Navy punishing him for sleepover with male sailor
Posted on 03/05/2011 5:23:42 PM PST by fwdude
click here to read article
And this, dear sir, is what the Communists, aided by the Gay Lobby, wants to overturn.
The ruination of all military order, instigated by endless lawsuits for perceived wrongs, with the eventual goal of the internal rot of the military.
Exactly my point.
All the law says is you can't be discriminated on account of your sexual orientation.
It does not say you can use it an excuse to flout military discipline or to commit sodomy and other offenses against the Uniform Code Of Military Justice.
I think when Congress voted to end DADT, I think most Americans think gays don't deserve to be persecuted or discriminated against but I also think they don't want them given special privileges in our military service.
We Americans believe in equal treatment under the law and that doesn't change with the repeal of DADT. It just brings things into the open. Gays now have no grounds to complain they are being treated differently from other service people. The same rules apply to them that should apply to straight people.
The same rule would apply if the sailor was caught sleeping with a woman. In my opinion, the Navy is just even handedly enforcing the law.
I'll tell the Left good luck with making sodomy legal in the military any time soon.
That's a harder sell than equal rights for gays.
This crap more than anything else will force the return of the Selective Service Draft.
Your post is correct.
As a former Nuke sub sailor, I learned quickly that the Navy had many ways to get rid of those whom they thought were not good for the Navy. Once you sign on that dotted line, you better pay close attention to the rules, because if you don't, they will come back to hurt you.
Now, whether this guy is a homosexual or not, it's obvious his roomate was bothered by him and his actions and he did violate the rule on professionalism in the barracks, so punishment is warranted. By PO Jones fighting this, it won't go well for him, even if he "wins". The Navy aint fair, but then neither is life.
My son is currently in the Army and I asked him about what he thought about the removal of DADT and he said something along the lines of "if they think you are gay, they'll crush you until you quit for some other reason." Now that's was his opinion, not official Army policy, but it follows what I saw when I was in the Navy back in the 80's.
You probably don't want to then...
However, there is another version with the lyrics....
My dad was a member of the Fighting 69th in WWII. It's startling to see the 69th in a satirical logo like that, funny though it may be.
No offense intended.
I just saw that on the net and thought it was humorous so reposted it.
I didn't know there was a real fighting 69th. But looked it up and sure enough - there it was:
"The 69th Infantry Regiment is a military unit from New York City, part of the New York Army National Guard. It is known as the Fighting Sixty-Ninth, a name said to have been given to it by Robert E. Lee during the Civil War."There was even a motion picture named the "The Fighting 69th" starring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, and George Brent:
No offense taken, at all, just thought you'd like to know there really was a 69th!
My dad has pictures of himself in Europe with them, posed next to signs, tanks, etc. So many of my relatives fought in that war...one uncle was a bombardier in a B-17, another uncle was in the 3rd Army with Patton, my mom was a Rosie the Riveter for Lockheed in Long Beach, I still have Lockheed's "yearbook" from those days, with all the women riveters.
Thank God for all those wonderful people who buckled down and did what was necessary.
They probably worked at getting caught - they're looking to go to court to 'test' the rules.
Amen to that!
Mega LOLs!
Aaaaaannnnd so it begins.
As if having at least two Officially Sanctioned Victim Groups (females and blacks) wasn't enough, we really needed to add sodomites to the list?
This is just the beginning. Henceforth, instead of "it's 'cause I'm black, isn't it" or "SEXUAL-HARASSMENT!!" being screamed in response to every disciplinary action, we'll now have to hear "We're here - we're queer - get used to it!"
Mark my words - by the time this "test-case" is over, the "homophobic" roommate and all involved in the chain-of-command will be censured for "harassing" this fine, upstanding poof.
Welcome to "the new Navy".
God help us — and God Save Our Republic!

Beaches in Lennox Head
Lennox Head is a quiet seaside village situated at the southern end of Seven Mile Beach between Ballina and Byron Bay. It's named after the headland that stands sentinel at its southern gateway.
About Lennox Head
This quiet, coastal village attracts visitors who love to relax and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the area. Surfers know the beach well for its internationally famous right-hand point break, and many make the pilgrimage to surf the local waves.
Visit Lake Ainsworth on the northern edge of Lennox Head's main village and admire the distinctive blue-brown waters caused by the surrounding tea trees. Take in the panoramic views of nearby Seven Mile Beach, pack a picnic and laze by the water, or play sports on the soft sand.
From May to October, Lennox Head is an excellent spot to watch the migratory humpback whales pass close to shore. Nearby, Bangalow, Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay are also well worth a visit.

An Auckland man has won a battle against a towing company
after his van was illegally towed from a private car park in
Auckland's CBD, even though he did not have permission to be
parked there.
The Automobile Association is claiming Steven Ooi's win at
the Disputes Tribunal as a victory for motorists, and says
the ruling could set a precedent because it raises questions
about motorists parking in business carparks after hours if
they are not causing any harm.
Super City Towing was found to have breached regulations by
not completing a tow authority - a form towing companies are
required to complete and have signed by a police officer,
traffic warden or landlord before removing the vehicle.
The tribunal also ruled in Mr Ooi's favour because he had
"caused no actual harm" by parking at the Wellesley St car
park without permission as the building was empty and it was
outside usual business hours.
The company was ordered to pay Mr Ooi $526.
Mr Ooi told the Herald he felt tow firms were making too much
money off unsuspecting drivers.
"When I went there [to the collection yard], there were
40-odd vehicles there. Imagine at $250 a pop - that's quite a
bit of money. I imagine some of them deserve it but those who
don't can fight back."
Super City Towing general manager Craig Burrows, whose firm
trades several names including Vehicle Recovery Group, First
Recovery and Amalgamated Carpark Services, said it would pay
Mr Ooi the required amount.
Last night, Mr Ooi had not received the repayment, due by
March 15, but had received an email from Super City Towing on
Monday saying it was considering appealing against the
AA principal regulatory adviser Mark Stockdale commended Mr
Ooi for standing up for his rights.
"The more people that do this, the more it will force tow
companies and clamping companies and private parking
operators to follow the rules and to have good systems in
place to minimise unauthorised parking."
Mr Stockdale said the ruling had set a precedent over
unauthorised parking in carparks after hours.
"That is a precedent in our view and I think that is
something really worth exploring with landlords, businesses
and the tow companies to understand if there's no harm.
"Does there need to be enforcement or is it just about
revenue gathering on the part of the tow companies and wheel
clamping companies?"
Auckland Towing Company director Antony Ashford said towing
companies took the regulations seriously and faced hefty
fines for non-compliance.
His company had office staff check all tow authorities had
been completed.
Mr Ashford did not accept that vehicles shouldn't be towed if
they were in an unused business carpark as such removals
acted as a deterrent to vandals.

Photos Courtesy Of Chad Lewis
CEDAR HILLS Chad Lewis, the former BYU standout tight end and multi-year All-Pro with the Philadelphia Eagles, is billed as the National Football League's ambassador to China, having made multiple official visits there in recent years.
Unofficially, he doubles as China's ambassador to the world.
"I love going there and being a part of a people and a culture that I got to love and eating their food," said Lewis, adding a light-hearted disclaimer of Chinese cuisine, that "it's not Panda Express."
Talk to the towering 6-foot-6, 36-year-old Lewis about his China experiences, and he's less likely to focus on himself and his experiences ... Instead, conversations drift into his favorite topics Chinese places, Chinese people and Chinese personalities.
"They teach me so much with their friendship and acceptance," he added of the Chinese," and they're so forgiving of my inability to speak."
But when it comes to America's four major sports of football, baseball, basketball and hockey, no one this side of the NBA's high-profile China natives of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian can communicate with the Chinese in Mandarin like Chad Lewis, who first learned the language as a LDS Church missionary in Taiwan in the early 1990s and continued studying it at Brigham Young University.
And at the tail end of Lewis' productive pro career, the NFL recognized the benefit of deploying Lewis to the Far East. He made his first trip with then-commissioner Paul Tagliabue in 2002 and served as color analyst for the first Chinese NFL broadcast at the 2004 Super Bowl between the Patriots and Panthers.
Since then, when the NFL has a need in the People's Republic of China, it calls on Lewis sometimes with less than a week's notice. And he delivers there, comfortably chatting in football clinics with young players, coaches and referees or effortlessly mingling in formal functions with diplomats and dignitaries.
A couple of years ago in China, Lewis was invited by the U.S. ambassador to China to speak at the Fourth of July festivities that the latter was hosting.
"You talk about catching people off guard," said Pete Abitante, the NFL's senior director of international affairs, to the Boston Globe. "You can't get any more American-looking than Chad, and then he opens his mouth and he's speaking to the people in their language. He even signed autographs in Chinese characters."
Lewis' NFL Asia experience didn't start in mainland China, but on a three-nation trip in 2002 to Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand, where he conducted by his count hundreds of interviews, in both Chinese and English, with reporters and writers lined up at each stop for a 10- to 15-minutes apiece chat.
Since then, he's made five extended visits to mainland China always either Beijing, Shanghai, or both, and often with a family member in tow and looking to returning more in the future to visit other cities.
With its eye on the potential market of 1.3 billion people and some 300 million households, the NFL is venturing into China in opposite fashion from its 16-year European adventures. Starting in 1991 as the World League of American Football and finally closing in 2007 as NFL Europa, the notion was to field NFL-aligned professional teams in hopes of drawing Europeans to a different brand of football.
However, the China effort as well as throughout Asia and back in Europe is more of a grassroots approach, a 20-year plan that started with sponsoring international flag football there for youth ages 12 to 14, and slowly and steadily build interest, marketing and sponsorships.
And hopefully a fan base.
Besides the potential audience, China's 1.3 billion population merely by sheer mass provides quite a possible talent pool when it comes to athletes.
