Academic Policies
Academic Standards
Definition of GradesThe following grades are used: A – excellent; B – good; C – fair in undergraduate courses and minimum passing in courses for graduate credit; D – minimum passing in undergraduate courses; F – failed. In addition, plus and minus grades may be used, with the exceptions of A plus, F plus and F minus. The grade of F indicates that the student failed at the end of the semester or was doing failing work and stopped attending the course after the twelfth week of the semester. Minimum passing grades are D- for undergraduate credit and C for graduate credit. Additional grades include: CR – credit (passing grade for non-letter-graded courses equivalent to C- quality or better for undergraduate courses and B (3.0) quality or better for graduate courses); NC – no credit (less than the equivalent of a C- for an undergraduate and a B for a graduate, non-letter-graded course); P – pass (passing grade equivalent to C- quality or better for undergraduate letter-graded courses and B (3.0) quality or better for graduate courses taken on a Pass/No Pass basis); NP – no pass (less than the equivalent of a C- for an undergraduate and a B (3.0) for a graduate, letter graded course taken on a Pass/No Pass basis).
The following marks are also used: W – withdrawn; IP – interim mark for a course exceeding one semester (failure to complete courses in which marks of IP [in progress] appear will be assigned grades of NC); UW – unofficial withdrawal (assigned to students who stopped attending prior to the drop deadline but failed to withdraw); MG – missing grade (an administrative mark used in cases when the instructor fails to submit a final course grade for a student); IN – incomplete (work not completed because of documented illness or some other emergency occurring after the twelfth week of the semester; arrangements for the IN and its completion should be initiated by the student and agreed to by the instructor prior to the final exam); IX – lapsed incomplete.
Grade Point Average Categories and Class LevelsA system of grade points is used to determine a student's grade point average. Grade points are assigned to grades as follows for each unit in the credit value of a course: A, 4 points; A‑, 3.7 points; B+, 3.3 points; B, 3.0 points; B‑, 2.7 points; C+, 2.3 points; C, 2 points; C‑, 1.7 points; D+, 1.3 points; D, 1 point; D‑, 0.7 points; F, 0 points; UW, 0 points; IX, 0 points. Wherever these letter grades appear in this catalogue or other university documents, they represent the numerical equivalents listed above. Marks of CR, NC, P, NP, W, IP, MG and IN do not affect a student's grade point average.
There are four categories of class level: Undergraduate, Graduate, Law and Other. Undergraduate comprises freshman (less than 32 units earned); sophomore (32-63.9 units earned); junior (64-95.9 units earned) and senior (at least 96 units earned). Graduate comprises any course work attempted while pursuing a master's and/or doctoral degree. Law comprises any course work (offered by the USC Gould School of Law) attempted while pursuing a Juris Doctor or Master of Laws degree. Other comprises any course work attempted while not admitted to a degree program or course work not available for degree credit.
Grades of Incomplete (IN)
Conditions for Completing a Grade of IncompleteIf an IN is assigned as the student's grade, the instructor will fill out the Assignment of an Incomplete (IN) and Requirements for Completion form which will specify to the student and to the department the work remaining to be done, the procedures for its completion, the grade in the course to date and the weight to be assigned to the work remaining to be done when computing the final grade. A student may complete the IN by completing only the portion of required work not finished as a result of documented illness or emergency occurring after the twelfth week of the semester. Previously graded work may not be repeated for credit.
Time Limit for Completion of an IncompleteOne calendar year is allowed to complete an IN. Individual academic units may have more stringent policies regarding these time limits. If the IN is not completed within the designated time, the course is considered "lapsed," the grade is changed to an "IX" and will be calculated into the grade point average as 0 points. Courses offered on a Credit/No Credit basis or taken on a Pass/No Pass basis for which a mark of Incomplete is assigned will be lapsed with a mark of NC or NP and will not be calculated into the grade point average.
Extension of Time for Completion of an IncompleteCompleting the IN within the one-year period should be the student's highest priority. A student may petition the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures (CAPP) for an extension of time for the completion of an IN. Extensions beyond the specified time limit are rarely approved if the student has enrolled in subsequent semesters.
In all cases, a petition for an extension of time for completion of an IN must have departmental approval and include a statement from the instructor explaining what is needed to complete the course and why the instructor feels the student should be given even further time for completion.
Missing GradesMarks of MG must be resolved before a degree or certificate will be awarded. If a student wishes to graduate and chooses not to resolve the mark(s) of MG, the mark(s) will be defaulted to mark(s) of UW and will be calculated into the grade point average as 0 grade points.
Time Limit for Resolution of a Missing GradeOne calendar year is allowed to resolve an MG. If an MG is not resolved within one year, the grade is changed to UW and it will be calculated into the grade point average as 0 grade points.
Correction of GradesA grade once reported to the Office of Academic Records and Registrar may not be changed except by request of the faculty member to the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures on a Correction of Grade form. Changes should be requested only on the basis of an actual error in assigning the original grade, not on the basis of a request by the student or special consideration for an individual student. Students are not permitted to complete course work after the semester has ended.
Disputing a GradeThe instructor's evaluation of the performance of each individual student is the final basis for assigning grades. Through orderly appeal procedures, students have protection against prejudiced or capricious academic evaluation. See the student guidebook SCampus for details of the procedure.
Academic Dishonesty SanctionsWhen a student is found responsible for a violation of the USC Student Conduct Code standards pertaining to academic dishonesty, the Vice President for Student Affairs (or designee) will inform the Office of Academic Records and Registrar. In appropriate cases, the Office of Academic Records and Registrar will post the sanction information on the student's academic records. Disciplinary sanctions noted on student records include suspension and expulsion from the university and revocation of admission and degree. Disciplinary grade sanctions (e.g., F in course) are not distinguished on a student's transcript from marks assigned for academic work accomplished. In cases of suspension or expulsion, the student's registration for the current term may be cancelled with marks of "W." More information can be found in SCampus in the University Governance section.
Repeated Course Work at USCUnder certain conditions, a student may repeat a course for grade point credit. In no case will additional unit credit be allowed for repeated courses or duplicated work. No student may repeat a course for grade point credit in which a grade of B- or better was received. A prerequisite course may not be repeated after a student has completed a course for which it is designated a prerequisite. (See prerequisites here.)
Undergraduate students who want to repeat a course in which a grade of C+, C or C- was received and have the subsequent grade calculated in the grade point average must petition the committee on Academic Policies and Procedures (CAPP) for permission to do so prior to re-registering in the course. Post hoc approval will not be granted.
Graduate students may repeat a course in which a grade of C- or below was received, but both grades will be calculated in the grade point average. Graduate students who want to repeat a course in which a grade of C+ or C was received and have the subsequent grade calculated in the grade point average must petition the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures (CAPP) for permission to do so prior to re-registering in the course. Post hoc approval will not be granted.
A special provision governs the repeat of courses by students who enter USC as first-time freshmen. These students may repeat a maximum of three courses taken during the first two semesters at USC in which grades of D+ or below (including UW and IX) were received, and only the subsequent letter grade, even if lower, will be calculated in the grade point average. The courses must be repeated at USC for a letter grade, and both courses with the grades received will appear on the transcript. The same course may be repeated no more than once for the benefit of substitution of grade. Students must notify the Degree Progress Department if they wish to utilize this provision. Students who have been assigned a grade as a result of a Student Conduct sanction may not repeat the course under this provision. Students who were admitted for spring and were first-time freshmen elsewhere in the previous fall may repeat a maximum of two courses taken during the first semester at USC in which grades of D+ or below were received with the same set of provisions stated above.
Excessive Withdrawals (Marks of W)An undergraduate student who withdraws (a mark of W) from at least 8 units in one semester or from at least 16 units overall must undergo mandatory academic advisement before the student can enroll in a subsequent semester. A restriction enforces this requirement. A student must have his or her academic advisor remove the restriction. This is a one-time requirement. Students will not be denied registration in future terms once advisement has taken place. This advisement is intended to provide students with information and guidance on the negative consequences that excessive withdrawals have on successful and timely completion of degree programs.
The Dean's ListAny undergraduate student who earns a grade point average of 3.5 or higher on 12 units or more of letter-graded course work in any one semester is placed on the Dean's List for that semester. Grades of IN must be removed before eligibility is determined for that semester. Academic transcripts do not carry the Dean's List notation.
Probation and Disqualification of Undergraduate StudentsAn overall USC grade point average (GPA) of at least C (2.0) on course work taken at USC is required for completion of undergraduate degrees.
Academic ProbationA student whose overall USC GPA falls below 2.0 is placed on academic probation. Continued enrollment requires clearance from an academic review counselor.
Mandatory AdvisementA student whose overall GPA falls below 2.0 is required to seek academic advisement prior to course selection each semester. Proof of advisement must be filed with the Academic Review Department before any registration request will be processed. The Academic Review Department will only accept an official Academic Review Advisement Record form with an authorized school signature as proof of advisement. This form may be obtained in Hubbard Hall, Room 113.
Academic DisqualificationStudents on academic probation who do not raise their overall GPA to 2.0 after two semesters of enrollment, exempting summer enrollment, will be academically disqualified. However, if a student earns a minimum semester GPA of 2.3 in the second or any subsequent probation semester but has not yet reached the overall 2.0 GPA, the student will not be disqualified and will be allowed to enroll for an additional semester.
Readmission after Academic DisqualificationPetitions for readmission after academic disqualification are initiated by the student through the Academic Review Department. Completion of approved course work from another institution is a requirement for petitioning for readmission. Disqualified students must meet with an academic review counselor before enrolling in courses at another institution. The counselor will provide the Readmission Pre-Approval Form on which both Academic Review and the student's academic department must sign approval.
Before petitioning for readmission, a disqualified student must complete a minimum of 12 semester units of pre-approved, transferable course work applicable to USC degree requirements with a minimum 3.0 GPA. As readmission to the university is never guaranteed, any indication of strong academic performance beyond the 12 units required would strengthen a readmission petition. All grade issues at USC (IN, MG, etc.) must be resolved prior to submission of a readmission petition.
Students must petition for readmission by December 30 for spring semester, by May 1 for summer session and by August 15 for fall semester. Since a student's readmission petition must be reviewed and approved by CAPP before he or she can register, under no circumstances will a petition be accepted after the deadline. A non-refundable fee of $50 must accompany the readmission petition.
Academic Warning and Dismissal of Graduate StudentsFaculty advisors and departments take factors other than satisfactory grades and adequate GPAs into consideration in determining a student's qualifications for an advanced degree. A student's overall academic performance, specific skills and aptitudes, and faculty evaluations will be considered in departmental decisions regarding a student's continuation in a master's or doctoral degree program.
Satisfactory progress toward an advanced degree as determined by the faculty is required at all times. Students who fail to make satisfactory progress will be informed by their department or committee chair or school dean. The faculty has the right to recommend at any time after written warning that a student be dismissed from a graduate program for academic reasons or that a student be denied readmission. Procedures on disputed academic evaluations are described in SCampus.

NLB - Network Load Balacing Microsoft - problem with Wireless Client
I have a problem with a wireless client that it not able to ping a virtual IP of server in NLB modality.
The WLC can do a ping to the first physical, to the second physical IP and the the virtual IP correctly.
The Wireless Client can do a ping to the first physical, to the second physical IP BUT can not do a ping to the the virtual IP.
The WLC and wireless client have the same mac-table with the same mac-add of tree IP (2 physical and virtual).
When from WLC, i do a ping to the Ip virtual, I send 3 pkt and I receive 6 pkt (3 from first network lan and 3 from second network lan, I think...)
I think thet the WLC drop the pkts to wireless client to virtual IP of LNB Microsoft (NLB work correctly).
What do you think?

Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College Tornados will be on the road for the last time in 2008 this Saturday afternoon, as Coach Hamilton's squad will travel to Salisbury, N.C. for a showdown with the Catawba College Indians. Both teams are coming off disappointing SAC losses and will look to help salvage their seasons with a big conference win.
Brevard is 0-3 on the road this season, but have played well losing all three games by a combined 30 points, including a three point loss at Chowan University back on September 13.
The Tornados have embraced the new triple option offensive attack over the last three weeks, as the offense has gained 708 yards on the ground and scored 59 points in their last three games. Since taking over the quarterback position three weeks ago at Tusculum, sophomore Trey Wilborn has rushed for 235 yards on 39 carries and for one touchdown, while helping lead the BC offense down the field.
Against Carson-Newman last week, senior running back John Taylor proved he is almost completely back from an injury that sidelined him for two games earlier this season, as Taylor rushed 11 times for 93 yards. In six games this season, Taylor has rushed 79 times for a team-high 383 yards and a team-high four touchdowns. Fullback Desmond Wilson as well as slot back Donald Hudson will also see a number of carries on Saturday afternoon, as the two combined for 63 yards on 16 carries one week ago.
The Tornado defense will again face an offense that can move the ball and score points, as Catawba averages over 26 points per game. Linebacker Stanley Jones, who leads the SAC in tackles with 84, will look to lead the BC defense that will have to try to stop a strong passing attack of Catawba as well as a very fast running back in Jamelle Cutherbertson.
The Tornados, who have only six interceptions on the year, two of which were by freshman safety Michael Gist, will look to make big plays and force the Indians into committing turnovers in order to keep their offense off the field and give the Tornados good field position throughout the contest.
Special teams will play a role in the contest, as last week punter Luke Lovelace had four punts that put the Eagles back on their side of the field and got the BC defense out of their own territory. Place kicker Chase Henry had the lone points of the game last week with a 35 yard field goal.
The Catawba Indians are 4-4 on the year and 2-2 in the SAC with wins over Mars Hill and Tusculum. The Indians are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Wingate Bulldogs, who came back from behind to defeat the Indians, 34-24.
Catawba is averaging 26.2 points per game, with the majority of the yardage and scores coming by way of the air, as the Indians have passed for 15 touchdowns and 1,703 yards. However, the Indians have a balanced attack as Catawba is fourth in the SAC in both passing offense and rushing offense over the first eight games on the year.
Catawba has two quarterbacks in Patrick Dennis and Howard Williamson that have both seen a considerable amount of time and should see snaps on Saturday afternoon. Dennis has completed 54-of-94 passes for 909 yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions. Williamson has completed 46-of-95 passes for 619 yards, five touchdowns and one interception.
The running game for Catawba, which has rushed for 1,245 yards and 11 scores, is highlighted by running back Jamelle Cuthbertson who has 762 yards on 107 carries, an average of 7.1 yards per carry, and eight touchdowns.
On the defensive side of the ball, Catawba is very strong against the rush, as the Indians have allowed only 855 yards on the ground in their first eight games, while teams have thrown the ball well against them, gaining 1,554 yards through the air against the Catawba defense.
Linebackers Charles McAfee, Lakeem Perry and Julian Samolu lead the Catawba defensive unit, as the three are in the top-four in tackles on the team. McAfee leads the team with 64 total tackles, of which 12.5 were tackles for a loss of 30 yards. Perry is second on the team with 58 total stops, while Samolu is fourth with 33 tackles. All have one fumble recovery on the season.
Defensive lineman Marqus Davis and Melquan Fail led the pass-rush attack as Davis has five sacks, while Fair has 5.5 sacks on the season. Cornerback Jasmon Carpenter has a team-high three interceptions on the season, leading the defensive backfield for the Indians.
These two programs have only met once before, as the Catawba Indians defeated the Tornados 56-21 back on November 3, 2007. Last year's match up was played at Brevard Memorial Stadium in Brevard, N.C.
The game time is slated for a 1:30 p.m. kick-off at Shuford Stadium on the campus of Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C.
You can catch the game via live broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Rob Walden over the radio at WSQL 1240 AM or over the Internet at www.wsqlradio.com. You may also visit the Brevard College Athletics website at www.BCTornados.com.

What does the science say about dietary supplements and complementary and alternative health approaches for Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and cognitive health? While some dietary supplements have been marketed with claims that they enhance memory or improve brain function and health, research is ongoing to determine whether they may have any effect on the progression of cognitive decline or Alzheimer's disease.
NIA is co-hosting a Twitter chat with the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine [1] (NCCAM) on Wednesday, December 18 at 4:00pm Eastern Time to talk about what we know and answer questions about ongoing research in this area. In addition, we'll discuss some of the research that's looking at exercise and other mind and body practices, which have shown promise in treating some symptoms related to dementia, as well as for alleviating stress among caregivers.
Participating in the chat from @Alzheimers_NIH will be NIA experts Drs. Laurie Ryan [2] and Nina Silverberg [3] and from @NCCAM experts Drs. D. Lee Alekel [4], Partap Khalsa [5], and Richard Nahin [6].
Follow the conversation at #nccamchat [7].

Care should be taken when interpreting income data because income data collected on the Census form may differ from that reported in a survey specifically designed to collect information on this topic. Further, some people did not answer the Census question on income, which affects the individual income data as well as the household income calculations. In the 2006 Census, 12% of the Indigenous population and 4% of the non-Indigenous population did not provide a response to the question on income.
Individual income data is provided for people aged 15 years and over. Household income is presented on an equivalised basis (i.e. adjusted using an equivalence scale to make comparisons between households of different compositions easier). It is calculated based on the individual incomes of residents of a household, excluding visitors. It is only relevant for households in which there were no temporarily absent adults and all incomes were fully stated.
Survey of Income and Housing
The calculation of household and personal income measures relies on information from the Survey of Income and Housing (SIH). SIH data in relation to the total population are used to estimate the median value for each of the income ranges against which individual income is reported in the Census. It is not known how appropriate these SIH total population medians are to those reported by the Indigenous population against these income ranges.
How to calculate equivalised disposable income
To calculate the equivalised disposable income of a household, each member of the household is allocated 'equivalence points'. Taking the first adult in the household as having a weight of 1 point, each additional person aged 15 years or older is allocated 0.5 of a point, and each child under the age of 15 years is allocated 0.3 of a point. Equivalised disposable household income is then derived by dividing disposable household income by a factor equal to the sum of the 'equivalence points' allocated to the household members. The equivalised disposable income of a single person household is the same as its unequivalised disposable income.
For information on income data collected in the Census, and the calculation of equivalised household income, see paragraphs 56-60 of the Explanatory Notes in Population Characteristics, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, (cat. no. 4713.0). Further information is available from Appendix 3 of Household Income and Income Distribution, Australia, 2005-06 (cat. no. 6523.0).

NPR failed to correct congressman's misleading claim about Social Security cap
On the February 24 edition of National Public Radio's (NPR) All Things Considered, correspondent Brian Naylor [1], who has covered Congress for NPR for almost ten years, failed to correct a misleading claim made by Representative Chris Chocola [2] (R-IN) about the impact of removing the cap on income subject to Social Security payroll taxes.
Reporting on a town meeting [3] on Social Security reform that Chocola hosted during which a participant suggested that it would be better "to raise the money that people pay into it as they get bigger and bigger salaries," Naylor said, "Chocola says raising or eliminating the cap on earnings that get taxed for Social Security, now $90,000, would only put off the problem." Naylor then played a clip of Chocola stating, "If you eliminate the cap on earnings, so if you made a million dollars a year, you'd pay Social Security taxes on all that million, you would delay the problem by seven years."
As Media Matters previously explained [4] (when The New York Times echoed a similar claim by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX)), this seven-year figure refers only to the effect that lifting the cap would have on the date when the program stops running annual surpluses. Under current law, the Social Security trustees predict [5] that this will occur in 2018; lifting the cap would extend this date to 2025. But this seven-year figure conceals the impact that lifting the cap would have on the real "problem" that Social Security faces: its long-term inability to pay all benefits promised under current law.
The Social Security trustees project [6] that removing the income cap entirely would enable the the program to pay all benefits currently promised for 37 more years -- from 2042, as projected [7] under current law, to 2079. That's because if the cap were eliminated, the surpluses accumulated prior to 2024 would be substantially larger than projected under current law, and subsequent annual deficits would be smaller. These accumulated surpluses, combined with the increased revenue stream from payroll taxes, would be sufficient to pay benefits much further into the future.
Finally, since proponents of privatization often focus on the 2018 date as a crucial turning point toward insolvency and crisis, NPR's Naylor should also have noted that Social Security's chief actuary recently informed the White House that under President Bush's proposal to let workers divert a portion of payroll taxes into private accounts, "[a]nnual cash-flow deficits (negative annual balances) appear in 2012, or six years earlier than under current law," as The Wall Street Journal reported [8] on February 8.

Salisbury, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornados baseball team (8-29, 2-19) got solid starting pitching from Matthew Pruitt and Jacob White and home runs from Eric Renegar, Kramer Clark and Jackie Corn but Catawba College (31-8, 14-7) swept a Saturday doubleheader at Newman Park. The Indians scored four runs in the eighth inning to win game one 6-2 and put together a five-run seventh inning to take the finale 7-6.
Pruitt pitched into the seventh inning but got no decision in game one. He allowed two runs on two hits while striking out two and walking six.
After five scoreless innings from both teams the Tornados scored twice in the top of the sixth. After a Renegar single to lead off the frame Kramer Clark hit an 0-1 pitch from Indians reliever Wil Huneycutt over the wall in left center for his third home run of the year.
Catawba tied the score in the seventh on a John Hohn two-run homer. Brett Underwood had an RBI single in the eighth and Wade Moore added a two-run double as part of a four-run frame.
Huneycutt worked four innings in relief of starter Nathan Furr and picked up his fourth win of the year. Jacob Koontz took the loss for Brevard.
Corn and Renegar hit solo homers in game two and Brevard held a 6-1 lead going into the final frame. The Tornados scored two runs in a first inning in which four consecutive players had base hits, including an RBI single from Kellen Moman.
Derek Ham singled to left in the sixth to score Renegar.
Hohn hit a two-run double in the Indians seventh to bring Catawba within one and pinch hitter Garrett Furr hit a walk off single through the left side for the final margin.
White worked six innings and allowed two runs on six hits while striking out three and walking three. He got no decision. Josh Case took the loss for Brevard. Travis McSweeney worked one and two thirds innings of relief to earn his second win of the year.
Catawba returns to the diamond Tuesday April 13 at home against Wingate at 7 p.m. Brevard hosts the Crusaders of North Greenville University in a doubleheader April 13. First pitch of game one is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Should this allow me to change the reg set in BT5r2 or is this only tested/working on r1?
I had to do this on the latest download of BT5R2, but the LIVE version spit out indiscernible compile errors when trying to compile the 2nd portion (CRDA) until I executed the make install on the persistent installation. I still encountered compile errors until performing specific development package updates, specifically:
sudo apt-get install -y python-dev
sudo apt-get install -y python-M2Crypto
sudo apt-get install -y libnl-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libgcrypt-dev
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-regdb.git
mkdir /etc/wireless-regdb/pubkeys/
Afterwards, it made the original instructions in this post easier to implement.
Maybe it is obvious, but it also seems necessary to dispel any misconceptions based on some of the odd questions and even outlandish claims across the Internet, these patches/modifications won't magically exceed the WiFi adapter's nor physical power limitation of the PC. I've read some strange claims of those who insist they're achieving 10 watts of WiFi from a 500mw USB port or people claiming to set their cards on literally on fire or other things such as 10 miles of Kismet visibility and these are ridiculous claims.
Signal strength is affected by more than just wattage and too many factors for this posting and already adequately addressed elsewhere.

Instead, the two colonies were joined in a confederation, with separate legislatures.
The more daring among them even talk about federation or confederation, possibly including the Kingdom of Jordan.
The Articles of confederation had required nine of the 13 states to pass most items, and it was a disaster.
I saw it in "Quotation", a group show at the confederation Center of the Arts in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
The people were dissatisfied with the confederation, not with republicanism.
The confederation of Arras was proclaimed on January 6, 1579.
About this time the articles of confederation were ratified.
This was the first important effort to bring about a Colonial confederation.
Of this confederation, Turkey would be an integral and essential part.
By February, 1779, all the other states had ratified the articles of confederation.
early 15c., "act of confederating," from Middle French confédération, from Old French confederacion (14c.), from Late Latin confoederationem (nominative confoederatio), noun of action from confoederare (see confederate). Meaning "states or persons united by a league" is from 1620s.
A group of nations or states, or a government encompassing several states or political divisions, in which the component states retain considerable independence. The members of a confederation often delegate only a few powers to the central authority.
Note: The United States was governed as a confederation in the first few years of its independence (see Articles of Confederation).
Note: Canada is officially a confederation of provinces.

text: So I've always wanted a high quality pair of 514s, and once I saw those, I decided why not.. Took them just a day to get here with standard Levi's shipping, and I'm glad I ordered. Got my true size and it fits just right, slim and straight, more so than the regular 514s. I really like the fit, hopefully they won't stretch too much. Obviously not going near a washing machine any time soon. I'll see how they do after a few months. The big question right now if I should get them shortened or keep them rolled up. Is the inseam TTS or have they added some length to roll up?

I've got a bit of a crisis going on. When i switched my machine on this morning, i get a white screen with no errors on screen or in the logs. I have added error reporting in my common.php file. If this was a fatal error i'd of thought it would show up.
I am working with GIT, and have rolled back 3 or 4 commits, but this does not seem to help.
I have been working on this project for 6 months, so i am actually pretty stumped as to why this has happened.
I am using AMPPS stack locally.
Anyone else had anything like this before?
What happens when you run this script then?
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
echo 'Hello ; // yes, this line has an error
Thanks for your reply. I've already got E_ALL and display errors, but actually even echoing text isn't working, but i've tried phpinfo(); in the root of the directory and that is fine. It says it should be displaying and logging errors.
How do you know the server is running then?
AMPPS says it is running, and i've used different virtual hosts today.
Sounds as if the server is running but PHP is not configured or there is a httpd directive out of kilter, or the host is not being found. These are the usual suspects anyway ...
Thanks for your reply. I've been checking my Smarty template directories, permissions etc, and have made a new GIT branch. Still no further, still no errors.
Ok, finally got to the bottom of this. I was trying to connect to a remote mysql db, which had been deleted, but i didn't have sufficient error handling on the query, so it just white screened. @Cups - Thanks for your help.
Thx for replying with the cause, I'm sorry but I don't think I managed to suggest anything helpful, but heck, I shared your pain for a bit...

Quvenzhané Wallis
Fully enjoying all the awards show season fun, Quvenzhané Wallis headed over to the Hollywood Palladium for the 20th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards this evening (January 15).
The "Annie" babe was in fine form as she did a little posing while rubbing shoulders with her fellow celebrity attendees.
It's a happy holiday season for Quvenzhané Wallis as her new movie "Annie" is tearing it up in theaters nationwide. Additionally, the 11-year-old actress was just named the face of the Spring 2015 ad campaign for Armani Junior, following up her first gig in the Fall/Winter 2014 spread.
Miss Wallis looks adorable in the newly-released image, as she's practically floating on air in her snazzy striped attire.
Taking care of some international promotional duties, the cast of "Annie" gathered in London, England on Tuesday (December 16) for a fun-filled photocall.
"Sex Tape" star Cameron Diaz posed alongside Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhané Wallis and director Will Gluck at the Corinthia Hotel ahead of the big UK premiere.
Her new movie "Annie" hits theaters December 19th and Quvenzhané Wallis is excited for the world to see the hard work she put into her lead role.
In the January 2015 issue of Elle magazine, the "12 Years a Slave" actress explained how she relates to the character on multiple levels.
Showing some love to her west coast fans, Quvenzhané Wallis showed up at Sony Studios in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon (December 1).
The "12 Years a Slave" starlet teamed with the Best Buddies organization to host a special screening of her new film "Annie," and there was no shortage of cuteness.
Paying homage to the heroes of the world, CNN presented an all-star tribute to the brightest lights on Tuesday evening (November 18).
Christina Hendricks was on hand to make a presentation and looked lovely in a modest green frock that hugged her curves in all the right places.
Their new remake of the classic musical "Annie" hits theaters on December 19th and Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx showed up at "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to chat about their experience on the project.
The "Sweetest Thing" actress confessed she was a bit concerned with being able to sing "fairly well" in her role as Miss Hannigan.
She's off to an amazing start with her acting career and Quvenzhané Wallis is also pretty adorable in the new Armani Junior campaign.
The "Annie" star told People that working with her furry costar Sandy was refreshing given that her personal pet Sammy doesn't seem too interested in taking orders.
With a sure-to-be-hit movie "Annie" out soon and plenty of industry cred to her name, Quvenzhane Wallis shouldn't be surprised by high-profile offers, regardless of the realm.
The 10-year-old "Beasts of the Southern Wild" starlet was chosen to front the new Armani Junior ad campaign and she couldn't be happier.
Ready to give a new audience a taste of a classic, Sony Pictures released the first trailer for "Annie" on Wednesday (March 5).
In the modern-day remake of the Broadway musical, wealthy businessman Benjamin Stacks comes to the aid of a young girl living in an orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan.

PG&E Unveils $38M Natural Gas Monitoring Center
SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) — Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has opened a new, $38 million natural gas monitoring center in the wake of the deadly 2010 gas line explosion in San Bruno.
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord says the new center allows the utility to better monitor its gas transmission system and coordinate and respond in case of an emergency. In addition to 6,700 miles of gas transmission pipeline, the new center also monitors the utility's 42,000 miles of gas distribution pipeline. Distribution lines are the narrow-diameter pipes that serve individual homes and businesses.
The new center will also put the employees who dispatch PG&E workers in the field in the same room as the system monitors.
The center went online late last week.
Critics tell the Contra Costa Times PG&E must still do more toguarantee the system's safety.

If you have diabetes, you should wear or carry I.D. information (such as an alert bracelet) that emergency medical staff can find. You should always carry a sugar source, such as glucose tablets or raisins.
High ketones
For people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes for over 10 years, it is possible for diabetic ketoacidosis to occur. you can use a simple urine test available at pharmacies to check for ketones. Perform this test every 4-6 hours if blood sugar goes above 240 mg/dL, or any time you are sick, unusually thirsty, have a dry mouth, are urinating frequently, or have vomited. Warning signs that ketoacidosis is getting serious:
If these symptoms occur, call the doctor or go to the emergency room right away. If left untreated, this condition will lead to coma and even death.
Dangerously low blood sugar (Severe hypoglycemia)
Low blood sugar can occur when you use too much insulin, exercise too hard or for too long, or have not eaten enough food. It can develop quickly. Symptoms of low blood sugar typically appear when the sugar level falls below 70 mg/dL. Watch for:
You MUST be monitored closely. If symptoms become worse -- confusion, seizures, or unconsciousness -- someone should call 911 immediately, and if a glucagon injecction is available it should be given by a trained person.
If you have a blood sugar test kit available, do a blood sugar check. If the level is low, eat something with sugar: fruit juice, several teaspoons of sugar, a cup of skim milk, or regular soda. If you don't have a test kit handy, sugar should be eaten anyway -- it can't hurt. Symptoms should subside within 15 minutes. If the symptoms don't subside, eat more sugar and test your sugar level again. (See Step 9: Treat Low Blood Sugar.)
AFTER the symptoms subside, more substantial food can be eaten. Use simple sugar FIRST to get the situation under control. Real food won't produce enough sugar and takes too long to digest.
Your doctor may want you to have a glucagon kit for emergencies. Consult your doctor about who should learn how to inject glucagon in the event that you have a severe hypoglycemic reaction. If you have glucagon stored at home for emergencies, your doctor may want everyone in your home to know how to use it. Periodically remind everyone how to use it, and check the expiration date.
Glucagon works very fast -- usually within 15 minutes.

Texans Are Driving 13% Less Than in 2000
Texans who for generations have been the symbol of the car and truck culture are actually driving less, and that trend is expected to continue, according to a study by the Texas Public Interest Research Group.
Lead researcher Thomas Visco says Texans have reduced their driving by an amazing 13% since 2000, and our reduction in driving is actually more than the country as a whole during that period.
"Texans are actually driving less and over an eight year period have been driving less than the national average," Visco told 1200 WOAI news.
The report by the group, which is a liberal organization which opposes the development alternative energy sources, has several reasons for this surprising decline in personal vehicle use over the last 13 years.
Visco says while Baby Boomers say the personal vehicle as 'a representation of freedom and spontaneity,' today's Millennials see a car as an expensive headache, with high gasoline, insurance, maintenance, and parking costs attached to it. He says Millennials are far more likely to seek out homes near public transportation and use technology to seek out alternatives.
He says new technologies are 'giving Texans more freedom to drive less.' He points to bike sharing programs like San Antonio's B-Share, and even car sharing programs like Zipcar and car2go, which are particularly popular among Millennials who live in urban areas like San Antonio's LoBro neighborhood near the Pearl Brewery.
Visco says the higher price of gas is a factor, but he doesn't think it is the prime factor.
"We have seen this trend continue through good economic times and struggling economic times," he said. "It has continued through lower gas prices, and the very high gas prices that we have today."
And he says it isn't just Millennials who are driving less.
"Every generation, including Boomers, are decreasing the amount that they are driving," he said. "This is a trend which has been underway since 2005."
A new poll by the Texas Lyceum shows that a surprising 53% of Texans would be willing to pay higher taxes to build commuter rail lines or light rail systems between cities. That is actually higher than the percentage of Texans who say they would be 'somewhat or very willing' to pay higher taxes to build new roads and highways.

Kristan T. Harris | The Rundown Live
The Milwaukee Police Department may implement a new policy in September that deals with recording police officers while on duty.
The policy will define when officers can be recorded and when they are allowed to prevent citizens from capturing footage.
"Every member of the public has a first amendment right to record the officer while they`re doing their job on the street," says Michael Tobin of the Fire and Police Commission.
An officer will only be able to confiscate a cell phone or arrest a person if they are interfering with their job.
"The policy sets a pretty stringent standard for police officers," says Tobin.
Historically police have not been friendly to people who attempt to film them while they are on duty.
However, things may be changing. A woman recently won a $57,000 settlement after being arrested for filming an officer when pulled over.
She was charged with obstructing a government official, and "unlawful interception of oral communications." reports RT.
"I`ve been told, you can`t record," says local activist, Tory Lowe .
"There are times, when those situations turn into confrontations."
"They claim they`ll arrest you if you keep recording…a total violation of first amendment rights," says Lowe.
"Everybody has a cell phone, everybody has cameras, when you have evidence, you can`t beat the tape," he expressed to Fox 6 news.
"We can move forward and try to build a peaceful relationship between the people and the police," says Tobin.

The first question:
Osho,Meditativeness and science are difficult to reconcile. Yet painting a picture, writing a poem, and solving a scientific problem all bring the same joy; the same joy!Why is it so difficult to be meditative and a scientist?Why has there never been a society in which the inner and the outer sciences, the science of gentleness and love and the science of aggression and death, live in harmony?
The very effort to reconcile the polar opposites is wrong - you will never succeed in it. It is like trying to reconcile day and night, it is like trying to reconcile life and death. You need not reconcile them, you have only to see that they are reconciled. Day and night are moving perfectly in rhythm; life and death are like two wings of existence.
Once you see that the polar opposites can't exist separately, once you have seen that reconciliation is not needed at all, that they are already reconciled, that awareness will help you to move from one pole to another without any problem. They are totally different phenomena - polar opposites - but all polar opposites are also complementary.
Science is concentration; it is mind, it is effort. Meditation or religion is a totally different world; it is relaxation, it is let-go - it is not concentration at all. It is not one-pointedness, it is no-pointedness. So how can you reconcile them? How do you reconcile work and rest? But you work hard in the day, and at night the rest comes of its own accord. You have earned it; your hard work brings rest.
Philosophically reconciliation is not possible: work cannot be rest, rest cannot be work. If you try to create a synthesis you will destroy both, the beauty of both. Work is work, rest is rest. But work done well brings rest, and if you have rested well in the night; in the morning you will feel so vital, so alive, so full of energy, that work is needed. Rest brings work, work brings rest - it is a circle. Reconciliation is already there: day brings night, night brings day; life brings death, death brings life. They are half-circles; with both together the circle is perfect and complete. But please don't try to reconcile them in theory, in philosophy.
In existence watch, and see how polar opposites are functioning together, hand in hand, as complementaries. That has not been done yet; in fact, humanity was not mature enough to do it up to now. Everything needs a particular time, a particular maturity.

This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Excellent location for visiting the university with easy access to restraunts. Complimentary valet parking and breakfast was very nice.
Location. There isnt a better location in A2. Right in the heart of the campus. Old and tired looking. It is like visiting your old beloved Grandmother. The place is tired, needs desperate upgrade and investment in the infrastructure (i.e. wallpatper, carpet, paint, etc). Just really tired looking. It was sad to see
It was close to downtown the workers were very nice and friendly. The hotel was clean and continental breakfast was nice. Hotel room was small and outdated.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Only 1 car included in free parking. Expensive for size of suite.
Location, location, location! We were visiting our freshman at UM, and loved being able to walk throughout the campus as well as the charming town of Ann Arbor - we will definitely return! Free valet parking was a plus - and desk staff was great!! Bathroom is small, but adequate. Not wild about the step up into the bathroom or the extremely small sink but manageable. Complimentary continental breakfast was standard and coffee was weak - go to Comet Coffee instead!
Location. Pleasant staff. Noisy doesn't adequately describe the symphony of garbage can pickup at 6:00a.m. That the hotel knew was a problem when I paid up for this corner suite made it worse. Mood not helped by terrible wi-fi, shortage of outlets a malfunctioning toilet.

By Frank Foti
State legislators had three goals in passing the law requiring Washington's ferries to be built in Washington: employ people, have a positive economic impact and help develop a capable maritime workforce while replenishing the aging ferry fleet.
Under the Build in Washington law, a team of Washington shipbuilders led by Vigor Industrial built three 64-car ferries between 2010 and 2012 to replace 80-year-old Steel Electric class vessels. We are currently building two 144-car Olympic Class ferries to replace 1950s-era Evergreen State class vessels.
With three new boats in service and two on the way, now is a great time to ask whether building them in Washington is accomplishing the goals lawmakers envisioned. In all areas the answer is yes.
Building a single 144-car ferry creates about 500 direct, family-wage jobs at Vigor and subcontractors including Nichols Brothers Boat Builders on Whidbey Island and Jesse Engineering in Tacoma. Wages earned in these jobs support about a thousand indirect jobs around the region.
Washington's Office of Financial Management found that investing $150 million in ferry construction creates more than $180 million in economic activity in Washington. So building ferries here provides boats our communities need while sustaining jobs and strengthening our economy.
As for the capable maritime sector, shipbuilding can be a cyclical business. In the absence of steady work, highly skilled, highly employable industrial workers move away to find jobs, or return to work after a slow period with skills degraded. Sometimes they leave the industry altogether. This leaves the region less able to compete in shipbuilding.
Building ferries in sequence has provided consistent work for several years, helping the region retain some of the most productive, competitive workers in the industry. New workers learn critical industry skills, experienced craftspeople hone their crafts, and the region's manufacturers improve the way we make vessels.
For the taxpayer, this means that building ferries in Washington becomes even more affordable over time. For example, the first 64-car ferry, the Chetzemoka, was an expensive vessel. But in the end the three-vessel project came in millions of dollars under the approved budget primarily because the entire team used the experience building the first vessel to improve efficiency and drive down the cost of subsequent boats. This trend continues with the new 144-car ferries, which are on time and on budget, each being built faster than the one before without sacrificing quality.
And thanks to our experience building ferries, Vigor is able to compete for business that would have gone to other parts of the country in years past.
One example is exploration for oil and gas off the coast of Alaska, which has already generated jobs here. From drill rigs to numerous support vessels for each rig, tapping these reserves safely requires dozens of vessels for each venture and stands to dramatically increase the demand to build new ships and upgrade existing ones.
Previously much of this work went to shipyards along the Gulf of Mexico, where yards have strong relationships with the oil and gas industry. But now we compete for these contracts and win, keeping the work in the Pacific Northwest.
Private-sector opportunities like these become increasingly important in light of federal budget cuts. Reduced defense spending due to sequestration could result in thousands of lost jobs here, from layoffs at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard to cancellation of repair contracts with private shipyards. Building Washington ferries helps blunt the impact of these cuts both through the direct economic impact of creating jobs in Washington and by helping build a more diverse, competitive and capable private maritime sector and workforce.
With all the benefits of Build in Washington — jobs, economic activity, workforce development, helping Washington attract new business, and providing needed boats on time and on budget — state lawmakers should be congratulated. The law is doing exactly what they hoped.
Frank Foti is president and CEO of Vigor Industrial, which has facilities in Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Bremerton and Port Angeles, as well as Oregon and Alaska. Two-thirds of the company's 2,000 employees reside in Washington.

INDIANAPOLIS (March 29, 2007) – Approximately 1.1 million Hoosiers have filed their Indiana income taxes electronically this year, compared to the same period last year. The Indiana Department of Revenue reports that electronic filing of Indiana tax returns is up 12 percent overall for 2007, compared with the same time in 2006.
"Electronic filing with programs like I-File helps to reduce math errors, automatically generates the correct forms for the taxpayer's situation, figures the county tax and even identifies the school corporation," Department of Revenue Commissioner John Eckart said, explaining why so many Hoosiers chose electronic filing over mailing in their returns.
To date, electronic filing accounts for 73 percent of all returns processed this filing season," Eckart said. But the biggest volume of filing is yet to come, as most Hoosiers file close to the deadline.
When taxpayers file electronically, they help save the state 96 cents per return processed. It costs the state $1 to process a paper return, but only 4 cents to process an electronic return. The state processes more than 3 million returns each year.
I-File, which is Indiana's free online tax filing program, makes it quick and easy for Hoosiers to file Indiana taxes electronically. It also can expedite a taxpayer's refund within 7 to 14 days, compared with 8 to 12 weeks for paper-filed returns.
"I found I-File to be very user-friendly and easy to use," said Matt McCutcheon of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Taxpayer compliments like those of McCutcheon echo the results of a survey conducted last year with more than 1,000 taxpayers who used I-File in 2006. The poll revealed that 94 percent of survey participants were satisfied to very satisfied with their I-File experience and that 96 percent would recommend I-File to someone else.
Tuesday, April 17, 2007, is the Indiana tax-filing deadline. Taxpayers can file and pay their state income taxes up to 11:30 p.m. on April 17 through I-File. For more information about I-File, visit http://www.ifile.in.gov

international online community for dna barcoding professionals
A group related to the barcoding of sponges.
Website: http://spongebarcoding.org
Location: Munich Germany
Members: 15
Latest Activity: Nov 22, 2015
This group does not have any discussions yet.
Thank you for the explanation and for the help! I will start checking in literature for different primer.
by Folmer fragment I mean the standard barcoding fragment.
Hi Sergio,
what do you mean for "Folmer" fragment? I need to amplify just COI gene.
Good idea, discussing off list could be easier
Hi Giulia,
if you want to barcode your 5 sponge, you'r kind of stucked to the "Folmer" fragment. If you want to do something else, well you could check the literature (?) Sponge specific primers for the Folmer region are rather hard to find, I must say.
If you want we can disscuss your Mycale problems off list to avoid long postings.
Hi Sergio,
do you know if there is some other kind of primer maybe specific for sponges? Because design specific one for my 5 samples could be too expensive considering my project.
Hi Giulia,
I'm also working with Antarctic sponges. You should try to desing more specific primers. If you are only working with Mycale this should not be a problem.
Hello, I am trying to extract and amplify 5 specimens of Mycale conserved in ethanol since 2004, sampled in Antarctica. I have tried with generic primers for COI (HCO LCO) and with a phenol-cloroformium protocol for extraction but until now I have found only a bryozoan... any suggestion?
Thanks :)
Hey there,
Cat McFadden was also interested in establishing an octocoral barcoding project, porting the sponge barcoding interface. A cnidarian barcoding project might be easier.
Frederic, what marker do you guys use for barcoding zoanthids and how specific is it?

Get Cocky: A day to celebrate a USC role model
By Megan Sexton, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1421
Everybody loves Cocky.
There is no question the USC mascot is a hit everywhere he goes – from high-fiving students around campus to leading the way in charity drives to promoting literacy around the state through Cocky's Reading Express.
While other mascots spend much of their time on the athletic fields, Cocky embraces the whole university. That's why the University of South Carolina will celebrate National Philanthropy Day on Thursday (Nov. 15) by honoring the feathered mascot on Greene Street.
"Cocky is such a great role model in terms of teaching us all how to give back. He is a special member of Gamecock Nation," said Denise Wellman, director of Carolina's Visitor Center. "Cocky truly knows how to serve."
The university plans to honor Cocky's role at Carolina with a life-size bronze statue on campus next year, showing his importance and his place in the Carolina family. At Thursday's event, from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. in front of the Russell House, Cocky will be available for photos, he will join a flash mob dance with a host of fans, and supporters also will be able to contribute to Cocky's statue fund. Only private funds will be used to build the statue -- "one feather at a time," Wellman said.
"National Philanthropy Day is about doing the right thing. And Cocky is all about doing the right thing," she said. "This event is about honoring Cocky and everything he does for a proud Gamecock Nation. And it's also about building excitement for immortalizing him on our campus."
A variety of current and former student leaders are involved in the fundraising effort to create and install the statue. The group hopes to raise enough money so Cocky can be unveiled on Gibbes Green in fall 2013, just in time for the 10th anniversary of his reign as Capital One Mascot of the Year.
A Cocky statue presents an opportunity for prospective students to form a personal attachment with the university and celebrate a tradition even before they officially enroll. The statue would also be a spot for students, both former and current, plus children, parents and grandparents to gather, pose for photographs and enjoy some time with Cocky.
"Our mascot embraces the whole university…And Cocky transcends generations. Everybody loves him," Wellman said.

Honoring Cocky
- What: National Philanthropy Day, honoring Cocky
- When: 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 15

I was going to post this in the BT4 R1 post but its closed. But I have this wireless nic:
Adapter Vendor: Broadcom Corp
Adapter Name: BCM4309 802.11a/b/g
It works with Ubuntu and Xubuntu, both 9.10 and 10.04. The latest Linux Kernel I have used is 2.6.33 but BT4 has never worked with it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I try to activate it. I don't know. I really haven't used the KDE UI much. Anyways, since I see a lot of posts stating many Broadcom devices don't run on BT4 I decided to post this here so maybe it can be looked into for R1.

This story is by Mark Davis, staff writer for the Valley News, where it first appeared on Nov. 28, 2012.
Chelsea — Vermont State Police are resisting requests by a Thetford woman to turn over records of a June incident in which her boyfriend died after a trooper shot him with a Taser.
Theresa Davidonis, who has sued police for emotional distress and trespass after a trooper fired a stun gun at Macadam Mason at her home, has requested the records — including internal reports, audio recordings of the incident, and the training and disciplinary history of Trooper David Shaffer, who fired the Taser — as part of the pretrial discovery process.
The Vermont Attorney General's Office, which represents state police, contend the record requests are irrelevant to Davidonis' legal claims — which do not include Mason's death, or the decision to fire a Taser at him — and would jeopardize the ongoing internal investigation into Shaffer's actions.The requested records are "beyond the scope of discovery" or "confidential criminal investigation files," the Attorney General's Office wrote in a recent filing in Orange Superior Court.
Thus far, police have turned over records of interviews between police and Davidonis, phone calls between Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and police, and pictures of Davidonis' home. They have refused to release a trove of other records that Davidonis' attorney argues could shed light on the incident.
"VSP's virtually blanket objection to discoverability on the basis that the information sought is related to an ongoing criminal investigation by VSP is nonsensical and unsupported by statute or decisional authority," attorney Thomas Costello wrote.
In court filing, Detective Sgt. Lance Burnham, who works out of the Williston barracks and is heading the investigation into Shaffer, said he has gathered documents, reports, video files, training records, witness interviews and photographs and other information.
Copies of the file have already been sent to the Attorney General's Office and the Orange County State's Attorney's Office for review, according to court records.
"Any disclosure, whether to plaintiff, plaintiff's attorney, or to the public at large, of the investigatory files related to this ongoing criminal investigation would jeopardize the integrity and effectiveness of the criminal investigation and the prosecutorial process to a serious extent," Burnham wrote.
Burnham also said that, since Davidonis is a witness, police are concerned that if she saw the records, her "testimony during any potential criminal proceedings would be influenced inappropriately."
On June 20, state police responded to the home that Mason, 39, and Davidonis shared on Sawnee Bean Road after Mason called Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center "threatening to harm and kill himself and others," the state police said after the incident. Davidonis convinced police to leave, but they eventually returned.
State police have said that Shaffer ordered Mason to lie on his stomach on the ground. Instead, "Mason stood up and moved toward the Trooper with a closed fist yelling aggressively," state police said in a statement.
Shaffer fired his Taser, striking Mason in the chest, police said.
Davidonis and her son, Aleks, who also witnessed the shooting, have said that Mason never threatened the troopers. Rather, they say, Mason put his hands up in a surrender position, with his palms facing outward. He made two steps toward Shaffer — the ground he was on sloped toward the trooper — and said, "Go ahead and shoot me."
Mason had suffered a brain seizure the night before, information Davidonis says she shared with police before the fatal encounter.
"I said, 'Don't Taser him. You'll kill him,' " Davidonis previously told the Valley News. "They looked at me and shot him right in the chest. I watched the barbs. I watched the eyes roll back in his head. I just want people to know they were told. They were warned. "
A DHMC doctor told the Valley News that, because of the seizure he suffered the night before, Mason may have been unable to understand Shaffer's commands.
The New Hampshire Medical Examiner's Office, which conducted the autopsy, ruled that the Taser strike caused Mason's death.
Vermont State Police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro did not respond to a request for comment yesterday.
Vermont State Police have previously said that Shaffer has been placed on paid leave — standard protocol when an officer is the subject of an internal investigation — and the court documents indicate that the investigation is still ongoing.

hi there... you should first try to boot on recovery mode..there you will find some commands that could help u..
sorry about this reply...
MOD EDIT: Use the "Edit this post button" instead of making multiple consecutive posts.
Reinstalled Backtrack R1 just a few weeks ago and everything was going great until for seemingly no reason, I got an "Error 22" message from grub one day. I was unable to boot into either Backtrack, or Windows 7. I'm now at the point where I can boot into Backtrack from my hard disk, but not Windows 7 as it does not show up in the grub menu.
Could someone help me edit my menu.lst or whatever else needs to be done to get grub to contain the correct entry for Windows 7?
Output from fdisk -l:
Code:root@bt:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x19286b25 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 55703 60801 40957717+ 5 Extended /dev/sda3 1120 55702 438435864 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda5 55703 60586 39230698+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 60587 60801 1726956 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition table entries are not in disk order
Here is the output from the grub command "geometry (hd0)"
I am getting confused by the different naming conventions used by grub and fdisk. Why does grub have no entry labeled Partition 1 or 3? Why does fdisk -l have no entry as /dev/sda2 or /dev/sda4? I assume they are related, but assuming never goes will in Backtrack.Code:grub> geometry (hd0) drive 0x80: C/H/S = 60801/255/63, The number of sectors = 976773168, /dev/sda Partition num: 2, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 Partition num: 4, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Partition num: 5, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
The only thing I know for sure is that /dev/sda3 is my Windows 7 partition and I'd like to be able to boot into it. Been working on this for a while now and am getting frusterated. Hopefully someone here will have more insight than I do or will be better at googling.
Just writing it all out helped me plenty. Just needed to add
to my menu.lst. Now I get to resolve a new error. "BOOTMGR is missing".Code:title Windows root (hd0,2) chainloader +1
Sorry to post this and answer my own question 30 seconds later.
SOLVED (mostly)
Backtrack and grub are completely lost for now, but those are easy enough to reinstall. Finally fixed my MBR and am able to boot into Windows 7.
If you are receiving the "BOOTMGR is missing" because you know you deleted it like me, you should try the following.
1. Use GParted from either a live CD/USB or Backtrack
2. Right click on Windows partition, click manage flags
3. Set boot flag
4. Download Windows repair iso (specific to your version of Windows) and create live CD/USB (USB needed NTFS formating for me) using UNetbootin (Used friends computer)
5. You should see your Windows partition in the operating systems table of Windows repair, else you probably skipped step 1/2
6. First try using the "Automatic Startup Repair"
7. If this does not work, enter command line and use bootrec.exe to try and solve the problem.
The biggest thing for me (and for all users in forum I read) was setting the partition flag to boot. Otherwise Windows Recovery was unable to do anything.
Hope this helps someone else who was dumb enough to delete their bootmgr.

On this special Mother's Day occasion, our pastor takes a look at a classic text of Scripture that is often thought of around this time of year--Proverbs 31:10-31. Proverbs 31 is the record of lessons King Lemuel's mother had taught him. In verses 1-9, she taught him important lessons about how to be the right kind of king - what to do and not to do. She also knew what kind of woman/wife would make him happy and be of inestimable value to him, so she set out to show him (verses 10-31). The Holy Spirit saw fit to preserve these lessons so they could teach timeless truth for us today.
In a day in which society prizes and exalts the sassy, sexy, shameless, bossy woman as the ideal for today's woman, God has had a different role model all together. Since the greatest evidence of admiration is imitation, it is critical that today's Christian woman follow the role model God has set forth in His Scriptures.
The Scriptural text for today's morning sermon highlights three important characteristics that distinguish the Proverbs 31 woman from the stereotype that modern society praises and prizes. They are the characteristics each woman who knows the Lord as Savior ought to be developing as she pursues this divine pattern rather than pursuing what society spotlights. This text shows how each woman/wife/mother can genuinely be God's Prized and Praise-Worthy Woman.

Recent high-profile reports of child sexual abuse underscore the critical importance for South Carolinians to know the state's law for reporting child abuse and neglect.
"Reporting child abuse and neglect is an essential first step in eliminating the widespread child abuse that is injuring children and capturing national and state headlines," said Carolyn Morris, assistant director of the Children's Law Center in the School of Law at the University of South Carolina. "It is vital that citizens know what state law mandates."
In South Carolina, a wide range of professionals from doctors, teachers and clergy members to computer technicians and funeral home directors are required to report suspected child abuse. Morris said those professionals need to be trained to recognize the signs of abuse and how to file a report.
The law also encourages every person who has reason to suspect a child has been abused or neglected to report it, she said.
"While all South Carolinians aren't required by law to report suspected child abuse or neglect, our state's children will not be fully protected until all our citizens become vigilant in reporting suspected child abuse or neglect," Morris said.
According to Thomas Leclair, senior resource attorney at the Children's Law Center, the S.C. law states that designated professionals are required to report when, in their professional capacity, they receive information that gives them reason to believe a child has been or may be abused or neglected. The professionals must report directly to the Department of Social Services or to a law enforcement agency in the county where the child lives. The report should include the victim's name and address, the reason that abuse or neglect is suspected and information about the abuser, if it is known, he said.
Despite the fact that all states have some form of a mandated reporting law, studies show that professionals do not report all cases of suspected abuse, said Leclair.
A study, which was conducted in Massachusetts and Connecticut and reported in the international journal "Child Abuse and Neglect" in 2000, showed that 65 percent of social workers, 58 percent of physician assistants and 53 percent of physicians were not reporting all cases of suspected abuse.
Among the reasons for failing to report incidents included: insufficient evidence, lack of certainty that abuse occurred, belief that a report would cause additional harm and the need to maintain good relationships with patients and clients. There also was confusion about what types of injuries required reporting.
The most recent National Incidence Study, using data collected in 2005 and 2006, reported that school professionals were least likely to report maltreatment, Leclair said.
Two-thirds of school professionals in the national study said they would report maltreatment to the child protection agency, compared with about three-fourths of law enforcement, health and other groups of mandated reporters. Although schools are the top source of recognition for maltreated children, some educators indicated that policies at their schools bar staff from making direct reports. Leclair said it is important to note, however, that South Carolina law requires the listed professionals to make reports and failure to do so is a misdemeanor. The studies amplify the need for education and training.
The Children's Law Center at USC provides resources for professionals required to report child abuse and neglect. They include a written guide, titled "Information for Mandated Reporters" and the Web-based training program "Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect." Both are available on the center's website at http://childlaw.sc.edu. The center also has a full-time trainer for mandated reporters. The trainer also is available to answer questions about the state's mandated reporting statute.
For additional information on mandated reporting in South Carolina, visit the Children's Law Center website, http://childlaw.sc.edu, or call 803-777-1646.

Coach Shug adds another to the 2009-10 rosterJuly 14, 2009
Musick becomes the fourth Tornados signee
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Athletic Department and Coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara are pleased to announce the commitment of Teresa Musick to attend Brevard College and take to the field for the women's soccer team for the 2009-2010 season.
Musick comes to the Tornados from Hagerstown, Md., where she played under Coaches Ryan Myers and Scott Burman. The 5-5 athlete who has spent time at left defense, midfield and striker, was a varsity letter winner in her junior and senior years at South Hagerstown High School. Musick also made the All-County Honorable Mention team as a Rebel during her senior year.
The Brevard College women's soccer team went 6-12 (0-8 SAC) in their first season as full NCAA Division II and South Atlantic Conference members.
