The signing was made official in a team press release on Friday evening. The Packers were at the 90-man roster limit so released receiver Marcus Rivers, an undrafted rookie from Buffalo.
Pellerin (6-0, 194), a standout cornerback at Hampton, probably figures as a combination cornerback and safety in Green Bay. In fact, in the press release, the Packers list him as a safety. He ran a 4.61 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine. He tweaked his hamstring during his first 40, which probably is why he went undrafted.
Pellerin, who was considered a mid- to late-round prospect, was hotly pursued in college free agency by about a dozen teams. The Packers were one of the teams on Pellerin's trail throughout the draft process, but when they drafted cornerback Casey Hayward in the second round and safety Jerron McMillian in the fourth round, Pellerin and agent David Sullivan jumped on what they thought would be a better opportunity to make a roster.
Instead, the Colts released Pellerin on Thursday to sign cornerback Korey Lindsey off waivers from Arizona.
Pellerin started his career at Southern Mississippi before becoming one of the top cornerbacks in the Football Championship Subdivision. Playing a lot of the Packers' preferred press-man coverage during his final two years at Hampton, Pellerin broke up 35 passes — including a FCS-high 19 as a senior, when he intercepted four passes.
"If you play well, they'll find you, and I felt like I performed well my last two years so I felt like I had a good chance," Pellerin told Packer Report before the draft. "I consider myself to have good ball skills. This past year, I was No. 1 in FCS in total passes defended, and the year before, I was No. 4. That definitely shows I can get the ball away."
Pellerin will have one week of organized team activities and the minicamp, which is scheduled for June 12-14. Also, the collective bargaining agreement allows rookies additional time, so Pellerin will have ample time to get comfortable with the playbook before training camp.

And the feeling of satisfaction over
Acclamation's accomplishments – becoming the first horse in the country to win
three Grade I stakes in 2011, the first to win both the Eddie Read Stakes and
Pacific Classic, and the sixth California bred to take Del Mar's signature
event – was still palpable in the barn area of trainer Don Warren.
"He went back to the track this
morning for a little jog and he looked fine," Warren said Wednesday morning.
"He has been eating good since he ran and we're happy with what we see so far."
Warren said he took a day off from
work on Tuesday, his first day off "in awhile," but was back to business
as usual a day later.
"I've been concentrating on
(Acclamation) so much that I almost forgot I had eight others," Warren said.
"Now I can concentrate on them." Warren will saddle two maidens on Thursday's
card, both bred at the Old English Rancho of Acclamation co-owners E.W. "Bud"
and Judy Johnston. Sentry Duty goes in the first race, Pick Your Battles in the
eighth race.
Trainer Bob Baffert said on Monday
that he had attempted to buy Acclamation in the weeks leading up to the Pacific
Classic, making a $2 million offer that Bud Johnston had turned down.
Interested parties have come around the barn in the wake of the Classic, Warren
said, and the idea that Acclamation could be sold is not exactly far-fetched.
"Every time he wins, people come
around and it's up to Buddy," Warren said. "We've sold horses all the time over
the years. Maybe none as good as him, but you never know. Maybe one of these
days he'll get an offer he can't refuse."
Baffert and trainer John Sadler said
that their Pacific Classic runners, as well as their winners of other graded
stakes over the weekend, also showed no ill effects.
Sadler said Pacific Classic
runner-up Twirling Candy, beaten only a head by Acclamation, would go to the
track to jog on Thursday and a decision regarding future races could be made by
the end of the week. Sadler-trained Celtic New Year, winner of Sunday's
Grade II, $200,000 Del Mar Handicap, came out of the race, in which he held off
Bourbon Bay by a head, in good shape. The 4-year-old gelding will remain at Del
Mar for a few days, then ship to Santa Anita for preparations of a possible
Breeders' Cup assignment.
Baffert said The Factor, an impressive
winner of the Grade I, $250,000, Pat O'Brien and Classic fourth-place finisher
Game On Dude "came back great."
"The Factor, you could tell that he
ran hard, he was tired," Baffert said. In his first start in four months,
The Factor covered the seven furlongs of the O'Brien in 1:21.56 in the
second-fastest running of the race since the switch to a Polytrack main surface
in 2007.
Game On Dude and The Factor will
remain at Del Mar until next week, then be vanned to Santa Anita.

(307) 734-0211 State-of-the-art robotics solutions, Jackson, WY
Under sponsorship of the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Square One is working on increasing both the functionality and dexterity of their current robotic platforms. The goal is to allow soldiers to interrogate questionable items at a safe distance with minimal compromise of situational awareness.
Square One is incorporating haptic sensors into the manipulator design, this allows a feel of the object in question. In addition, utilizing inverse kinematics that allow a user to fly-the-end-effector. "Point and Get" behaviors automate the process of grasping an object, users are able to interrogate questionable items at a safe distance with unprecedented dexterity.
Recently, the Tri-Sphere concept has been adapted to serve as the basis for an innovative new type of dexterous manipulator. A compact, high-precision version was built and tested. All six of this unit's actuators were created using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) linear actuators driven by DC stepper motors. The manipulator was fitted with a standard two-jaw gripper, and a small digital camera and distance measuring interferometer were integrated into the gripper's palm.
Point and Get automated behavior:
Tri-Sphere's inverse kinematic equations form the basis of a sophisticated, LabView-based controls architecture. This control system provides the system's operator with almost unlimited operational flexibility. The manipulator can be instructed to execute pure translations or pure rotations, commands can be de-magnified to provide micron-level resolution or the end effector can be smoothly "flown" along any arbitrary path. The controls system also provides a high level of supervised autonomy. It can analyze the gripper's video feed and determine the size, shape and location of any object within the camera's field of view. An operator need only click on the image of an object and the manipulator will automatically acquire that object. This "point and get" capability is just one example of the many augmented tele-operations that the Tri-Sphere manipulator can perform.
While serial-jointed manipulators have larger work envelopes than parallel manipulators, this advantage fades when a manipulator is paired with a modern, high-functioning mobility platform. In these applications, the superior speed, precision and power of the parallel design make it the better solution. A variety of parallel manipulators are used by industry; by far the most common of these is the hexapod. While the proposed Tri-Sphere manipulator is a descendent of the same family tree, its novel design offers major performance advantages over its more conventional parallel brethren. The Tri-Sphere's rigid, prismatic geometry endows the manipulator with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike the hexapod, it is possible to create Tri-Sphere manipulators with strongly asymmetric work envelopes. Also, instead of its actuators being distributed along six pivoting struts, all of a Tri-Sphere's actuators are clustered together making it much easier to "ruggedize" the manipulator. These advantages strongly suggest that an enhanced version of the Tri-Sphere manipulator might be harnessed to an existing unmanned ground vehicle to create a counter-explosive technology having unprecedented capabilities.

Grounding Questions
Hey everyone I am new here and I figured I would sign up to learn some more about electrical work as I am pursuing an interest in getting an electrical license. First off let me start by saying I do have familiarity with electrical panels and HVAC work and have done several different jobs handling live circuits. I am very safe about it and my questions are only to help me grasp a firm understanding of how things work instead of trying to do my own project currently with a possible hazard. Basically I would like to know some more about grounding the meter box and main panels. I am going to spell out what I think is correct and if someone could just tell me if I am right or wrong or any other helpful advice that is correct and by code only.
From what I understand when you install say a 200 amp service in a home you must ground the entire system with 2 ground rods spaced 6 feet apart and must be 8 feet long with a maximum of 6" showing out of the ground. When the power company runs the service cable into the meter from a typical overhead service there is 2 hot wires and a neutral. The 2 neutral lugs in the meter are attached to the box itself for grounding purposes, is this correct? To correctly ground this meter it is my understanding that you will have a lug inside the meter for a ground connection which you will put a #6 solid copper wire unspliced from that lug in the meter down to a ground rod and from there to another ground rod with correct clamps being used. I know depending upon manufacturers I have found all kinds of panels that didnt have all the essential grounding kits with it and some must be bought separately. Does this apply for meters also? I dont really have much time spent inside a meter box and the last time was several years ago so I cant remember if there are lugs for grounding or not. I read on some forum of a guy suggesting hooking the #6 with the neutral on the load side on the same lug, is that ever done because that doesnt seem right to me at all. So if you do not ground at the meter and ground at the main panel how would you go about doing this? I am a little confused to which cable to run from the meter to the main panel in certain circumstances whether it be SEU or SER, how do you know what to run and also where would you hook the #6 copper in the main panel to ground efficiently? Sorry for so many questions but the NEC is very direct but can be hard to interpret and navigate at times so I wanted to get some professional opinions with someone I can talk to. Thanks for any response, I am sure i'll have some more questions later on but I really want to understanding these grounding principles first.
The ground rods must have 8' in contact with the earth. Ground rods are not the only type of electrodes allowed. Metallic water lines, Ufer grounds, plate electrode are other options.
Many power companies will not allow a grounding connection inside the socket. In this case the ground would go to the service panel. The bond screw would connect the panel enclosure and the neutral buss.
Type SE-U typically has 2 insulated and one concentric conductor. SE-R has 3 insulated conductors and a bare ground. SE-R would be used in a feeder application. SE-U would typically be used between the meter and panel and meter and weatherhead.
thank you for your response. i live in north carolina where most people tend to use ground rods and even so the water piping is becoming less popular for grounding or at least thats what some electricians say around here. inside a 200amp main panel you have the 2 lugs for the hot wires, the neutral lug in between them, a small lug next to that neutral lug, and also a separate lug for the ground bar on the side. if i wanted to run from the meter to this 200 amp panel it would be correct to use the SER with 3 insulated conductors and 1 bare ground right? i know in the main panel you would hook the two hot wires in those lugs, the white banded conductor in the neutral lug and the bare ground in the lug on the side attached to the ground bar. where would i hook all the connections inside the meter for this type cable? im being thrown off by the fact if i ran the SEU cable with only 2 insulated conductors and one bare ground that there would be an extra lug for the ground bar, what would go there? the #6 ran to the ground rods? also the other small lug next to the neutral lug in the panel is that used for another ground or what? if i had a power panel outside with spaces for breakers and also the meter all that is necessary is to ground to the rods from this panel and no need to run a #6 from the main panel in the house right?
Electrode Conductor
250.50 Grounding Electrode System. All grounding electrodes
as described in 250.52(A)(1) through (A)(7) that are
present at each building or structure served shall be bonded
together to form the grounding electrode system. Where
none of these grounding electrodes exist, one or more of
the grounding electrodes specified in 250.52(A)(4) through
(A)(8) shall be installed and used
Exception: Concrete-encased electrodes of existing buildings
or structures shall not be required to be part of the grounding

Here are some links to get you started.
Go to post #36 in link above
FYI: If I remember correctly the NC exam is 6 hours long with an average passing rate of 17%, so prepare to study hard.
Some areas require several thousand hours of verifiable experience in the trade before alowing you to sit for the test.
Link to NC requirements.
Your questions clearly indicate that you need some qualified help for this project, not online long distance advice.
yes you are correct it is a 6 hour exam and im sure the passing rate is pretty low. I am only 20 years old but have been on the payroll of a HVAC/Electrical business since I could get a workers permit at age 14 and i was employed even before then doing this kind of work. The reason i am unsure about some of these grounding questions is because its simply things that i did not have as much hands on experience with. I have a codebook and know how to study well since im in college but its easier to talk with someone. My uncle is a well established electrical contractor with an unlimited license and he happens to be well known on the board of examiners here in north carolina. I am quite sure i have 8000 hours but i know i definitely have the 4 years of employment that i could prove but ive also been told local inspectors can sign off on your experience and vouch for you as that is what my uncle did years ago to be able to take the test. I contacted the board of examiners myself and they did verify the 8000 hours/4 years experience but just to clarify do you need to meet BOTH of those requirements or just one of them to be able to take the test? And in response to brric i am not doing a project at all, you may have just misunderstood my wording in the first post about not doing a project and im just here to learn more.
It would seem to me you would be far better served learning this from your 'well qualified' uncle. Just my opinion.

Troubleshooting radio problem
I've got no radio and it's been that way for a while. I could break down and take it to someone and have a new system installed. But I like the look of the original and I don't want to spend a lot of money on this. When the sound disappeared, I had lights on the radio so it couldn't be the fuse. I checked anyway. The radio was a boneyard replacement with a broken tape deck so it wasn't any spring chicken - I found a new used one, really clean looking - still no sound. I've checked a couple of speakers with the crude 9 volt battery test - the current makes them jump and click, not sure if this means they're still functional. I'm at a loss on how to find the problem. I'm going to try to find a new fader switch, the dial above the radio next to the hazard and rear window heater switches. I'm guessing if that somehow went bad the circuit might be interrupted. Sorta desperate, I'll admit.
You are on the right track. Have you tried the radio(s) out of the car on test speakers? That way you will know if it is the unit or the car.
Next time at the boneyard, I'll find some E30 with the radio out and harvest some of the jacks that insert into the back of the unit, the speaker wire jacks, and any other that might be useful. Would make a bench test easier. This is a perplexing problem, I'm surprised that it's such a bugger to get to the bottom of.

Well I'll chime in with a pic of my 500
After the stock upgrade, you might want to think about a Tac-Star Sidesaddle shell holder too, oh yeah, a heat shield is nice too. My 500 wears both and a 5 shot butt cuff. 11 rounds handy and accessible, I've got the 7+1 model. Nice choice and super deal!!!
What a deal i would have jumped on it also
Hey Guys...here's the new addition to my collection. Mossberg 590 special purpose.
Nice 590!
Sorry for the delay...I've been having so much fun with it that I never posted a pic! I love my EBG...functions A++ after a THOROUGH dismantle and lube, takes a beating, and dish's out an even bigger one. New Hogue overmolded stocks are comfortable as anything and do an excellent job at reducing the felt recoil. I did I before/after "blast" test and the results astounded me. Only other upgarde (if you can even call it that) is a simple Allen slide on shell saddle that I can tote an extra 5 rounds of Winchester Tactical Buckshot with. I'll most likely pick up a sling....but that's it for me....like to keep it simple.
First post, WOOT!
Here's a pic of my Mossberg 500 20 g. 18.5" bbl:
Okay, that and my G19 and Firestorm 380. The Shotty has an ATI Tactical 6 position stock, deluxe heatshield with ghostring sights, composite forend, forward light clamp holding a Wally World cheapie bright light, and soon to be a soft shell carrier for the buttstock. I like the 20 ga for its lack of recoil (only shotty and the wife needs to be able to use it when I'm not here), low price and decent firepower. The only problem I have is getting the #3 buck (two extra pellets is better than slightly bigger pellets of #2, IMHO).
Thats a nice set up phirehawk..!!!
Nice shottie Phirehawk!
great deal on that shotgun!:hand10: : really like that shotgun too phirehawk :image035:
I bought a Mossberg 500 (new) about 25 or so years ago. I love this gun. You got yourself a great deal......... :hand10:

Penn State's Spanier won't get severance until 2017
Penn State University owes $2.47 million in severance pay to ousted President Graham Spanier but won't release the money until 2017, the school announced on Wednesday.
University trustees removed Spanier, 64, from his 16-year presidency on Nov. 9, 2011, several days after prosecutors charged former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky with child sexual abuse. Spanier faces charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and child endangerment in connection with the case.
Spanier receives his $600,000 annual salary as a tenured professor while on leave as criminal proceedings unfold.
In the meantime, "Dr. Spanier will not be permitted to perform any university duties or to use an office on campus," spokesman David La Torre wrote via email.
Penn State released the severance details as it tries to be more open, he said, though state Auditor General Jack Wagner complained that the university took too long.
Wagner said university trustees must have gone over the severance arrangement during separation talks a year ago.
Penn State declined earlier requests for the information, including from the Tribune-Review.
"All of this information should be publicly available when it occurs if someone asks for that information," said Wagner, who has recommended reforms and better transparency at Penn State. "The public has a right to know. This is a public university."
A Washington-based attorney representing Spanier, Timothy K. Lewis, declined to comment on Wednesday.
Penn State said it reported total taxable income for Spanier at $3,255,762 for 2011. The tally includes $700,000 in pay, $82,557 in taxable benefits and $2,473,205 in deferred severance pay.
The "contractually entitled severance payments" won't be delivered to Spanier until June 2017, La Torre said, citing terms of a 2010 employment contract.
Spanier received a $700,000 salary during a sabbatical that ended one year after his firing, the university reported. His annual compensation package before his ouster totaled $937,955, according to a university report for the year ending June 2011.
Spanier's current annual pay is dictated by a contract he negotiated as president in 2010, La Torre said. The university is obligated to pay him that rate for four more years, he said.
Under earlier university practices, he said, details such as executive severance pay would have been released only in May, when Penn State makes its annual Right-to-Know filing.
"But it was released (Wednesday) as part of the university's ongoing commitment to be more open and transparent," La Torre wrote.
A preliminary hearing for Spanier and two other former school administrators, Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, is scheduled for Dec. 13 in Dauphin County.
Prosecutors contend the men engaged in a "conspiracy of silence" that enabled Sandusky to abuse children.
Spanier, Curley and Schultz maintain their innocence.
Sandusky is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence in the State Correctional Institution at Greene, in Greene County. Centre County jurors convicted him in June on 45 of 48 counts, finding him guilty of abusing 10 boys over 15 years.

Dodge Dakota 2002 rear end rub
Hi folks
Buddy has 2002 Dakota 4x4 with rear drum brakes. Driving forward or in reverse, steering wheel straight, it's all good.
When wheels are turned to a side, forward or in reverse, there's quite a loud rub coming from the driver side rear end. It is much louder in reverse, than in forward. Accompanied by vibration, you can clearly feel it through the rear fender.
Any suggestions? I think it has locking rear diff, but not sure, as it's not mine, and he does not know much about it.
100% coming from rear end, driver side. We both walked next to it in my driveway.
Just to clarify situation. Truck was in front end accident and was re-conditioned. It was only cosmetic repairs, grill, fascia, and such. Nothing was done to engine mounts or transmission mounts.

I've worked for IGN for three months now. I've considered this my dream job for so long and I finally find myself in the midst of daily the daily grind with video game chit-chat and daily content challenges to fill my calendar. This industry can be remarkably stressful (and I've worked in the Financial Industry for over a decade) but is also rewarding and creatively fulfilling. There is rarely a time where an idea of yours doesn't get considered or thrown into the brainstorming process. I love it.
I've been able to create things I am proud of:
aaaand things I am not so proud of:
Actually, that Elsa was kind of funny.
I haven't been able to hang on here as much as I would like lately. Mainly because I don't want to look at the internet by the time I get home, you know? I feel spent of creativity and energy by closing time and have been really trying to conquer that. This blog is at least a step in that direction.
We also had a Thanksgiving pot luck lunch today at work and I organized matching outfits with a coworker of mine and YES, we felt ridiculous standing next to each other all day long =) Anyway. I hope all is well with you in MyIGN land and feel free to see my silly creations on the IGN Instagram account. It's my baby right now.

ZEKE WILSON: Many will enjoy opening day of trout
Trout season will open at 8 a.m. Saturday, and the weather forecast appears to be cooperating for an enjoyable day on the water.
The anticipation and excitement of the first day is a combination of tradition and enjoying our trout waters. Many who annually participate in the opener would not describe themselves as dedicated anglers, but they would miss the event only if something unavoidable came up.
The spring season is a favorite for many, and standing alongside a trout stream or lake soaking in the sights, smells and sounds is an excellent way to experience it.
The promise of trout stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission turns many waterways that otherwise are underutilized into at times an almost carnival-like atmosphere. On a number of occasions I have purchased hot dogs from a fundraising group right at my fishing destination.
With so much hype surrounding the opener, it stands to reason that competition for fishing spots and fish can be fierce at times. Some destinations see much higher use and quickly develop muddy angler trails along the banks.
Access and the amount of trout stocked impact usage, as can the weather. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the general public does not have to create heartburn, although quite often it can. Areas that are more difficult to fish are often less crowded, and thick brush and swift currents hold many anglers back.
Unfortunately, the same barriers that inhibit angling pressure also restrict stocking efforts. Luckily, high waters will distribute trout quickly, and streams stocked with rainbows see almost instant dispersal.
On a couple occasions I waited until 8 a.m. to cast into a hole and soon discovered it held no trout. Such an experience can be a little disheartening, but often the honey hole that produces best is not found until after noon. When the crowds are thick and the bites slow, sometimes walking around the next bend is all that is needed to turn the day around.
Another way to fight the crowd is to arrive at your destination with a number of acquaintances, and that way you can at least insure you will be tangled up with someone you know.
With a recently reduced creel limit of five trout measuring at least seven inches and catch-and-release common practice among many, the fishing can remain good throughout the day.
The second day of the season is rarely as good as the opener, but it offers a more solitude setting.
On Monday, in-season stocking efforts will begin, and at times these stockings can offer better action than the opener. Last year, I experienced a number of good days on the water, although it quickly becomes evident many don't work for a living. These in-season stockings offer fewer fish, and supplies can quickly be exhausted.
If one is serious about trout fishing, taking a day off to help stock is worth the money. Learning which areas are stocked and with how many fish will allow one to understand what to expect as the season progresses. In most instances the day after the stocking is the best fishing.
Although the good, old days of put-and-take trout fishing are in the past due to costs, the experience and chance at dinner are still much the same.
• The Blackleggs Creek Trout Nursery and Watershed Association will serve breakfast beginning at 4 a.m. Saturday at Blackleggs Memorial Park along Shrokman and Cribbs roads in Young Township.

Where 'try again' finds victory
September 14, 2011
The Boston Globe
At just about any other place on this sports-crazed planet, the 3-1 loss suffered by the Wheelock College women's field hockey team in its first home game of 2011 would have been cause for hung heads, slumped shoulders, and a grumpy locker room.
But in the alternate universe that is Wheelock, the Lady Wildcats left the field with smiles and attagirls all around.
"We improved! Last year we would never have scored on them,'' said junior striker Despina Savvoulides, the game's lone scorer.
Thus the Wheelock athletic department philosophy: Winning doesn't matter. Improvement, enjoyment, character, and team building do. Seriously.
At Wheelock, a 1,055-student campus in Boston's Fenway neighborhood with no gymnasiums or sports fields of its own, that philosophy approaches religion. And it is attracting attention from other college sports executives unhappy with the win-at-all-costs attitude believed to drive some corruption-plagued programs.
The philosophy has, ironically, proved successful in another way: With it, the school has started winning games.
Athletic director Diana Cutaia brought the philosophy to campus six years ago, and since then the athletic department's collective record has gone from 45 athletes with three wins the prior season to 122 athletes and 40 wins last year.
"I got some strange looks when I first introduced this notion,'' Cutaia says. "But I came by this belief after years as an athlete and coach, myself. It didn't happen overnight.
''Indeed, Cutaia, a youthful 38-year-old with hipper version of Buddy Holly's glasses and blond-streaked hair, has been a winner much of her sporting career. She was a standout point guard for Greenwich (Conn.) High School in the late 1980s, followed by a solid year at Sacred Heart University. Even though her college playing career was cut short by knee injuries, Cutaia continued winning as a coach - first by leading Norwalk Community College's women's hoops team to three New England division titles along with national ranking as the No. 8 program in its division, then by helping pull Curry College's women's team out of the cellar, and finally, pre-Wheelock, by helping guide Mount Holyoke College's women's team to consecutive winning records.

2006 Mercedes-Benz C350 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2006 Mercedes-Benz C350 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The SRS (airbag) light can come on if liquids are spilled into the seat belt buckles, or if the liquid pools underneath the seat and gets into the electrical connector for the seat belt pretensioner. Damaged components will require replacement to restore proper airbag operation.
The sway bar end link joints may wear and cause a knocking noise over bumps. Loose or warn links should be replaced to correct this type of noise.
A dead battery can be caused by a faulty seat control module that does not properly shut down. Spilling liquids on the front seats can cause these modules to fail.
Irregular and premature tire wear can be caused by the front thrust link bushings cracking and causing excessive movement in the suspension. The thrust link bushings are fluid-filled (to help reduce vibration), so if they crack, they will leak oil.
A repetitive clicking noise from behind the center area of the dash panel is usually caused by a broken stepper motor actuating arm. The actuating arm controls the direction of air flow in the climate control system. Disassembly of the center console will be required to access and change the broken arm with the updated, reinforced part.
The CD changer may suffer from an internal mechanical problem. Replacement of the faulty unit is generally required to correct this issue.
The ESP and BAS warning lights may illuminate due to a failed brake light switch. Replacement of the failed switch should correct this concern.

Mon Petit Oiseau
mon petit oiseau is a small independent label based in Los Angeles. The designer of the collection, Tracy Wilkinson, a British native, launched the company in September 1999. English girls grow up being referred to as 'birds'. It is considered an endearing term and it is for this reason Tracy chose mon petit oiseau or 'my little bird' as the name for her collection. In sketching the mon petit oiseau bird, Tracy designed a simple, sweet, and feminine icon that would perfectly mirror the collection she planned to create. Tracy grew up in Barnsley, a small coal mining town in Yorkshire. To escape the unpredictable weather during school summer holidays, her family would cross the channel to Brittany, a coastal region in northern France. It was here, during the early to mid seventies that she began to love the sweet simplicity of French style, and what became the inspiration for her collection. After graduating from the Royal College of Art in London with a masters degree in Fashion Design, Tracy was offered a job in New York and moved to the United States in 1989. Tracy has spent the previous 18 years working as a designer in the contemporary market in New York and Los Angeles. As an executive designer for companies such as Banana Republic and J.Crew, she learned her craft before venturing out on her own to create the collection she had always dreamed of.

text: It's being called the nation's first truth and reconciliation commission to address child welfare and native people.The five members were sworn in Tuesday morning, during a ceremony in Hermon.Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap, gkisedtanamoogk, a Wampanoag from the community of Mashpee located on Cape Code, Dr. Gail Werrbach, a professor of social services at the University of Maine, Sandra White Hawk, a Sicangu Lakota adoptee from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, and Carl Wishcamper, who served as Chair of the Maine State Board of Education, make up the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission.For the next two years, they'll conduct interviews with those involved in the Native American child welfare system. The commission will spend two to three months with each of the five Wabanaki tribes in Maine, as well as talking with judges, lawyers, foster parents and police.The three purposes of the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission are to document what happened to Native children in the foster system, allow for healing, and make recommendations for change.Joy Hollowell has been taking a closer look at what led up to this historical day in Maine.+++++"We have a code of silence, like many communities do, about things that have happened. And what this process is doing, is it's really challenging that dominate narrative that it's best to leave the past in the past."Esther Attean has been the lead staffer in the process to form a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. She says to understand why, first, you need to understand the history of Wabanaki children. The timeline starts in the late 1800's."The federal government mandated that all Native children attend a boarding school under the age of 16."The idea, says Attean, was to rid these kids of their savage beliefs and customs. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania was attended by many Wabanaki children, mostly from the Penobscot Nation. In the late 1950's, the federal Indian Adoption Project was launched."Which took hundreds of native children from their homes to be adopted by white families to prove that Indian children were better off being raised in white homes," explains Attean. "It was actually an experiment, a failed experiment. And those policies filtered into the child welfare system in our country, where Native children were removed at a far higher rate than non-Native cultures."In 1978, the federal government recognized those trends and established the Indian Child Welfare Act."That codified higher standards of protection for Native children involved in state child welfare systems," says Attean. "In the late 90's, 1999 specifically, the state of Maine received less than exemplary scores."According to Attean, the state reached out to tribal welfare workers and a training program was developed."In 2008, we had developed a better relationship between the tribes and states, things were going well," says Attean. "But the tribal welfare workers would report that they still hit this, they called it the invisible wall, that they could only get so far with state case workers. And we realized that we had tried to forge this relationship and move forward together, without really ever going back to really talk about what had happened."That's when the idea of a truth and reconciliation commission came about."There has not been an official truth commission in the United States that has dealt with Native child welfare issues," Attean says. "There hasn't been a truth and reconciliation commission process that has been developed at a grassroots level between tribal members and the state."In 2011, Governor Paul Lepage and the five Wabanaki chiefs signed a letter of intent, followed by a mandate document last year."Taking the passion that we have for justice and the well-being of children and bringing it from our heads down to our hearts," explains Attean. "There's no more us and them, this is going to be we, together."===To date, the Andrus Family Fund along with private citizen donations are supporting the work of the TRC A grant proposal has been submitted to the Kellogg Foundation to support the full function of the Commission.For more information about the Maine Wabanaki-State Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission, log onto www.mainetribaltrc.org

1. Re: Is Tuxedo a declining Technology ?????Todd Little-Oracle Jun 18, 2012 2:17 PM (in response to 685318)Hi Rakesh,
I'm curious, what are they migrating to? Tuxedo is the leading application server for non-Java applications on the market. Nothing comes even close to Tuxedo's scalability, availability, reliability, and performance. In the US, some customers have moved away from native languages to Java and as such may have moved from Tuxedo to a Java application server. But I'm not seeing any widespread movement from Tuxedo to some other platform. Tuxedo is highly valued at Oracle and has a long long future ahead of it.

Spring 2017 CourseDen
November 14, 2016
Over the winter break, CourseDen will be down just overnight on Saturday, December 17 from 12:01 AM - 7:00 AM for regularly scheduled maintenance! During that time, required upgrades from Brightspace by D2L and Turnitin will be installed by the Board of Regents.
Brightspace by D2L
Brightspace D2L has updated some of the language terms that have been in use for a number of tools. D2L documentation and the D2L Help Center (DHC help desk) are already referring to these tools by their new names. For the Spring term, you will see the following tools referred to by their new names in CourseDen.
- News has changed to Announcements
- Dropbox has changed to Assignments
- Edit Course has changed to Course Admin
- Pager has changed to Instant Messages
- In Content, New has changed to Upload/Create
- In Content, Add Existing Activities has changed to Existing Activities
Turnitin is introducing Feedback Studio. You can try the Feedback Studio demo now so you can see the new look.
We understand that these system-level, vendor driven learning management system upgrades can be frustrating and may require edits to your course instructions and documentation. UWG Online's FDC team stands ready to help when you need us.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Online Faculty Development Center at firstname.lastname@example.com or 678-839-5989.
New Semester, New Look
Fall 2016
Fall 2016 is right around the corner, so with the new semester, we're debuting a new look to CourseDen! Beginning on August 1st, the default navigation bar for courses will be reorganized. These are only cosmetic changes to improve navigation, consistency, and the student experience and will reflect the new UWG branding. As we discussed in our blog earlier this summer, consistency is key.
Content Browser Widget Removed
We will also be removing the Content Browser widget (not the Content tool). Although the Content Browser widget allowed users to browse and view recently visited content, students missed important information included in the course such as content descriptions and due dates. Additionally, if users accessed content only through the Content Browser widget, CourseDen could not track their user progress. Because of these concerns, the Content Browser needed to be removed. Students will be directed to use the Content tool in the Navigation bar, which should improve progress tracking and provide them full access to all materials and related information in the course.
Former Content Browser Widget

UWG Updated Links
UWG's updated webpage looks great and it has some new URLs. To help our students find the information they need on the updated site, please replace the URLs for those pages that you might have in your syllabus:

Skico fees increase for using public lands at Aspen Mountain, Snowmass
June 23, 2014
Aspen Skiing Co. paid $1,786,001 to the federal government in 2013 for national forest lands it leases to operate its four ski areas, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Skico's payment — which reflects business during the 2012-13 ski season — was up almost 10 percent from the $1,627,795 it paid the prior year.
The 2012-13 payment is the latest available.
The Forest Service uses a complex formula to calculate ski-area lease fees. It combines uphill capacity, skier visits, revenues from restaurants and other facilities on federal land and percentage of the ski area on federal lands among the many factors.
Skico's ski-area payments increased by a much greater percentage than its skier visits in 2012-13. It boosted its visits by 3 percent to about 1.38 million.
Skico declined to discuss its ski-area payments Monday.
Ski-industry officials have said expansion of ski-area operators into on-mountain restaurants has helped boost their revenues. A greater focus on summer activities — such as gondola rides for hikers and diners, and lift rides for mountain bikers — has also opened new revenue. Increased revenues lead to increased fees.
Snowmass ski area makes the greatest fee payment among Skico's four ski areas. Its payment jumped 9.3 percent from $1.2 million in 2011-12 to $1.31 million in 2012-13. Skico leases just shy of 5,000 acres for its Snowmass operation, according to the Forest Service.
Skico's fee for use of public lands at Highlands jumped by nearly 17 percent from $189,856 to $221,765. Highlands leases about 1,620 acres of national forest.
Aspen Mountain and Buttermilk lease smaller amounts of public lands. Buttermilk leases 835 acres while Aspen Mountain requires just 326 acres of national forest.
Aspen Mountain's fee payment increased 7.3 percent to $68,641 for 2012-13 while Buttermilk's payment went up 4 percent to $187,312.
The 11 ski areas of the White River National Forest paid a combined $13.5 million in ski-area fees in 2012-13, according to the Forest Service. That was up $982,818 or 8 percent from the prior year.
In 20 years, the fee payments by ski areas in the White River National Forest have doubled. They paid a combined $6.65 million in fiscal year 1994, according to the Forest Service.
This year's payment was a record amount.
Skico pays substantially less than Vail Resorts, which also owns and operates four ski areas using land in the White River National Forest.
Vail Mountain alone paid $4,684,403 in ski area fees in 2012-13, according to the Forest Service. Its payment soared by $539,002 or 13 percent in the last fiscal year.
Vail Resorts paid a combined $10,544,120 million in ski-area fees at Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, Keystone and Breckenridge. That's in contrast to the $1,786,001 Skico pays for Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands and Buttermilk.
There are three other ski areas in the White River National Forest that aren't owned by Aspen or Vail. Sunlight Mountain Resort, outside of Glenwood Springs, paid $15,141 in ski area fees for 2012-13.
Arapahoe Basin paid $206,562 last year, while Copper Mountain paid $950,595.
The ski area payments go to the U.S. Treasury. White River National Forest Supervisor Scott Fitzwilliams couldn't be reached for comment on the fee payments Monday. He previously told The Aspen Times that the ski areas "pay their way in spades." The money collected far exceeds what the supervisor's office spends on ski-area oversight, he said.
In addition, the ski industry stands out because operators get billed for any review Forest Service officials must undertake, such as expansion plans.
It is likely ski-area payments will increase again for 2013-14. Many ski areas reported strong business.

I am really excited about this reloading project and the 1 in 7 twist. There exists the possibility that a heavy Berger just might do the job of maintaining or staying close to supersonic out to 1k. Sadly, there is also the possibility that if I go about this with too much blind enthusiasm the bolt may be heading in the opposite direction at similar velocity. As you say, the only way may be to buy some and try some (Mindful of the dire consequences of a reckless approach to loading them up!).
But it really is interesting! Here's a picture of me explaining it all to my wife on the way to the range.
"I say, Darling! These 90 gr Match VLDs may well be the answer! You see they've got a G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.281! Imagine that, Darling! That means if I can run them up to a muzzle velocity approaching [censored] fps, and subject to wind, temperature and humidity variations on the test day, they'll still be doing a highly desirable warp factor 9 at 1000 yards! But the really good news, Dearest, is that if a short throat necessitates jamming the projectile into the lands or, alternatively, compressing both it and the experimental charge down into the case, then even after deductions for my ambulance and funeral expenses, you'll still have enough left from my life insurance to get the purpose-built, long-range .223 rifle which I should have bought for you in the first place!"
A little knowledge coupled with a lot of enthusiam can be a very dangerous thing! So I'll start very conservatively with shorter length bullets and beginner loads and work up nice and easy. Should be fun. At the very least, we will get out to 800 without too much trouble (I hope ).

A major theme at the OpenOffice.org Conference (OOoCon 2006) was the support for extensions. The OpenOffice developers envy the success of extensions in Firefox, NetBeans and Eclipse and want to replicate it.
OpenOffice has had for a long time a component architecture called Universal Network Objects (UNO). This architecture allows to mix components written in different languages, register them and allow each one to contribute to the overall functionality of the application. So far creation of such a component and its integration was a bit cumbersome.
The next minor release (2.0.4) will add common functionality, such as handling of license for extensions and the ability to install the extension for all or only for one user on a PC.
For the next major release (2.1) the development team introduces a new format that allows the components to be installed with one click, versioned and managed as extensions. It also will be possible to update extensions online and automatically search for updates. In addition extensions can require dependencies on other components. This will lead to a much more stable application and extension eco system.
OpenOffice.org 2.1 is planned for December 2006. I expect the first extensions to be out in Spring 2007. I look forward to such extensions. This move will set the bar lower for members of the community to add the single function they need and to contribute to the application as a whole. It also does work hand in hand with the contest for templates and clipart. This will make the OpenOffice.org suite more complete and more attractive to new users.

You're alright...great attitude. Nice choice for a handgun...and from fly over country (the place to be ) ...welcome Ciliatus.
I was raised in a hunting family so I was always familiar with shotguns and rifles. I had always been interested in handguns but in 30 years I never owned any. Now, at 31, I finally started to get "the bug". After lots of research and shooting and trying out guns, I decided on a Ruger SR9. It felt very comfortable in my hand, I shot it well and it was within my price range. I love the gun and I can't possibly shoot it enough. I've only had it for a couple months and I'm already looking at getting my second handgun. I never get into anything in a small way. I've been watching shooting videos, reading books and learning everything I can. My girlfriend and I will be taking our CCW course in the next week and we're looking forward to it.
I'm really looking forward to learning all that I can about safe gun handling, shooting, accuracy and home/self defense, besides just learning about the guns themselves. I also look forward to learning from all of you.
You're alright...great attitude. Nice choice for a handgun...and from fly over country (the place to be ) ...welcome Ciliatus.

Fund falsely claimed Robb-Silberman found president had not "misled" on intelligence
Research ››› ››› JEREMY SCHULMAN
On the November 14 edition of CNN's Paula Zahn Now, Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund falsely claimed that former "Democratic Senator Chuck Robb [VA] headed a commission which looked into whether or not the president misled and manipulated the intelligence data" relating to Iraq. According to Fund, the commission concluded that "it didn't happen." In fact, the Commission on the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction -- co-chaired by Robb and Republican attorney and former judge Laurence Silberman -- did not investigate whether the Bush administration misled the public about intelligence. Nor, for that matter, has any other governmental entity to date. Rather, the Robb-Silberman Commission concluded that "[t]he Intelligence Community did not make or change any analytic judgments in response to political pressure" in the buildup to the Iraq war, a conclusion that has been disputed by some senior intelligence officials.
Fund's claim came in response to a comment by Democratic strategist Julian Epstein, who referred on Paula Zahn Now to "all of the revelations about the intelligence being manipulated." While it is not clear what Epstein and Fund meant by "manipulated," Fund's assertion that the Robb-Silberman Commission found that the Bush administration had not "misled" is false. In its March report to President Bush, the commission noted: "[W]e were not authorized to investigate how policymakers used the intelligence assessments they received from the Intelligence Community." Indeed, Bush's February 6, 2004, executive order establishing the commission limited the scope of its investigation to the production of intelligence:
[T]he Commission shall specifically examine the Intelligence Community's intelligence prior to the initiation of Operation Iraqi Freedom and compare it with the findings of the Iraq Survey Group and other relevant agencies or organizations concerning the capabilities, intentions, and activities of Iraq relating to the design, development, manufacture, acquisition, possession, proliferation, transfer, testing, potential or threatened use, or use of Weapons of Mass Destruction and related means of delivery.
Similarly, the first phase of the Senate Intelligence Committee's 2004 Report on the U.S. Intelligence Community's Prewar Intelligence Assessments on Iraq determined that intelligence assessments were not tainted by political "pressure." But the committee postponed until after the 2004 presidential election analysis of whether the Bush administration misused that intelligence, pledging to include it in the second -- as yet uncompleted -- phase of the report.
As Media Matters for America has previously noted, even the conclusion of these two reports that analysts received no "pressure" in gathering intelligence has been disputed by some senior intelligence officials, including W. Patrick Lang, the former chief of the Middle East office of the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and Richard Kerr, a onetime acting CIA director who led an internal investigation of the CIA's failure to correctly assess Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities.
From the November 14 edition of CNN's Paula Zahn Now:
EPSTEIN: But I think that the crisis that the president is involved in right now is not just related to Iraq. I think this president has basically lost credibility. The Scooter Libby indictment, all of the revelations about the intelligence being manipulated, the failures in Katrina, the fact that there is no domestic agenda right now. We're not doing anything on Social Security, or on --
PAULA ZAHN (host): John Fund --
FUND: Sure.
ZAHN: You get the last word. You get 10 seconds.
FUND: Democratic Senator Chuck Robb headed a commission which looked into whether or not the president misled and manipulated the intelligence data. He concluded, along with every other commission member -- bipartisan -- it didn't happen.
