Who Are The Bairds?
"For many years, both Alvin and Nancy attended our weekly meetings, interacted with students and even went to the middle schools with us to see the work being accomplished, Evans recalled. "This was especially significant because they were both well into their 80s at the time, using walkers and unable to drive. The commitment they showed meant a lot to the students; it showed them how important this issue was. Today, we want to continue to demonstrate the same passion."

ADHD Resources at JMU
The Baird Center also offers programs outside of the school day. Parents can choose to attend monthly advocacy group meetings and involve their children in summer camps and clinical studies. "For the parents, these are great opportunities," Evans said. "They receive free services and can even get paid for the regular evaluations." It's also a good venue to ask questions about the safety of new medications and other psychosocial treatments, he said.

It didn't take long for Heather Davis to find her niche at JMU. She was just a freshman when she learned about the Alvin V. Baird Attention and Learning Disabilities Center during an orientation field trip with a group of new psychology majors.
A year later, she is participating in a federally funded research project that yields information about adolescents with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and effective treatments. "I love to work with children, and [the Baird Center] really seemed to be making a difference in the lives of children," Davis said. "So it seemed like a perfect fit."
Three days a week, Heather visits Montevideo Middle School in McGaheysville to work with a group of three girls before classes begin. Together, they organize class notes, review homework assignments and talk about the transition from elementary school to the more chaotic and demanding atmosphere of middle school. Her goal is to teach the girls organizational skills that will help them excel in school, but these school-day interventions are part of a bigger project that measures how adolescents respond to different types of behavioral treatments.
JMU Students Learn Hands-On
"The type of hands-on research that I get to do as an undergraduate is incredible," Davis said. "Much less as a sophomore!"
Many other undergraduate and graduate students are engaged in meaningful research at the Baird Center, said Dr. Steven W. Evans, director of the Baird Center. "We make an effort to involve them in the work from conception down to the details. This means they aren't only participating in the routine tasks but are seeing the big picture and can understand why a project is set up the way it is," he said.
For Davis, that means doing everything from visiting a local middle school to attending a weekly seminar focused on current ADHD literature. Some of Evans' students are also able to participate at national conferences in places like New Orleans and Boston and work in small groups to look at budgets and grant proposals.
"They consider research questions and learn to secure the external funding that is required for large projects," he said. "All of this helps the student examine why a career in this field is exciting."
One former student, Leigh Buckley, sparked JMU's successful Learning Leaders Program, which pairs JMU students who have learning disabilities and ADHD with local elementary-school children with similar learning disabilities. Buckley was a sophomore in 2001 when she pitched her Learning Leaders idea to the Baird Center board. The program was up and running the next semester.
Engaging Community Schools
Although local parents and teachers were once hesitant to participate in this type of hands-on research, their feedback is mostly positive now, Evans said. "The principal at Montevideo Middle School was the first to open the doors for us. It went very well, and since then we've been able to work in nearly every local middle school. This year, we plan to increase our presence to 10 high schools thanks to a federal grant," Evans said.
ADHD affects about 2 million children in the United States, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, This means that in a classroom of 25 to 30 children, it is likely that at least one will have ADHD. Among NIMH's many recommendations for parents and teachers is a list of "simple behavioral interventions" matching those used at the Baird Center: maintain a routine every day, organize needed everyday items, and use homework and notebook organizers.
While the routine may sound easy, "you really have to think on your toes," Davis said. "You have to be one step ahead of the students you are working with. This is difficult to accomplish without a great deal of practice."
One-on-One with Local Kids
Davis' supervisor this semester was Kathryn Van Eck, who graduated in May with a master's degree in psychological sciences. Van Eck described the typical child's binder as "falling apart with wrinkled papers for all classes stuffed into random sections of the binder." She set up organizational systems where courses were separated and assignments were listed in a notebook.
"An added frustration for these students is that missing assignments and poor organization often create conflict between parents and students and between teachers and students," Van Eck said. She requested initials from teachers comfirming that the student had accurately recorded all necessary assignments. "This procedure opens up the lines of communication between student and teacher," she said. Van Eck and Evans also worked with the students' parents to help them with the challenges associated with raising teenagers with ADHD.
In the fall, Van Eck will enter the doctoral program in clinical psychology at the University of South Carolina. She credits her experience in the Baird Center with helping her build the specific skills necessary to pursue her research interests. "It really showed me the importance of working at the intersection of practice and research," she said. "It is at this intersection where it is possible to find practical, feasible methods for providing treatments that work."

Interesting case, hydra should have work, contact hydra authors directly to provide some more data and get some help.
I've got zyxel presige 650r-e1 as my gate to the internets at home. There is one detail I must to admit - when you loggin into with telnet, it's doesn't ask you for login name, just a password. For this particular test I set its password for telnet configuration textual mode as default one - "1234". Then I tried to brute that password with hydra and medusa - unsuccessfully.
At first, I composed an dictionary file from huge table of default passwords with awk and sed. Tools accepted it, did a scan (i used verbose logging and saw all attempts for each of the login/password combination) - there was nothing in output, that could tell me I successed.
Then I just fed them correct password as an password and login command line options (neither hyndra, nor medusa allows to use just the password command line option alone; so, may be they both just weren't built with this cause (just only password in telnet session) in mind?) - for no avail. It just tried the correct passwords and exited, I weren't able to find in output any records stated that "bruting" what successful in that case either.
I haven't got any other routers currently, so can't just check it with another piece of equipment, one with traditional login procedure - that would ask both login name AND password.
So, did this was my fault due to lack of experience, or these tools really can't correctly confront such non-standard login prompt? And what would you suggest as a substitution to them? Any other bruteforce utility, more suited for that particular case?
Interesting case, hydra should have work, contact hydra authors directly to provide some more data and get some help.

Brevard, N.C. - Allie Hovis was the deciding factor for the second game in a row, scoring the game winning goal in overtime and giving the Tornados a 3-2 victory over Anderson.
The win puts Brevard at 2-0 for the season, as Anderson falls to 0-1.
Anderson jumped on the Tornados early, scoring two goals within the first thirteen minutes of play. Joelle Purinton struck first when her shot took a high bounce over Tornado goalkeeper, Jordan Box. Box got her hands on the ball, but was unable to hold it as it went over her head and found the back of the net.
The Trojans went up 2-0 when Jessica Kleinerg scored just five minutes later.
The rest of the afternoon was all Brevard.
Latoshia Hopewell notched her first goal of the season, and the Tornados first goal of the game at the 16:40 mark of the first period. Trojan goalkeeper, Kelli Whitfield, made a save then dropped the ball in front of the net, Hopewell, who was in the area, used her quickness to get the ball capitalize on the opportunity
The Tornados tied the game 2-2 three minutes later,when Bailey Varely found Allie Hovis for the second game in a row. Varely picked up her second assist of the season when her pass got through the defenders and to Hovis who was out in front of the net.
The Brevard outshot their opponent 20-9with 11 of those shots being on goal. Despite the Tornados showering Kelli Whitfield and the Trojans with shots, the score would stay knotted at two for the remainder of regulation.
Within the last minute of play each team faced a free kick, and stood strong on defense sending the game into overtime.
With four minutes remaining in the first overtime, Jordan Box sent a long kick down the field that bounced in between defenders. Allie Hovis came up with the ball and out ran defenders before placing a shot out of Kelli Whitfield's reach to score the game winner. Box recorded her first career assist on the play while Hovis, the freshman forward from Charlotte, N.C. recorded her second goal of the game and third of the season.
The Tornados are at home again on Tuesday September 1 when Lees-McRae travels to Brevard for a 5pm contest.

link to www.stumbleupon.com
Sidney Rittenberg (August 14, 1921; Chinese name: Lǐ Dūnbái 李敦白) is an American interpreter and scholar who lived in China from 1944 to 1979. He worked closely with People's Republic of China (PRC) founder Mao Zedong, military leader Zhu De, statesman Zhou Enlai, and other leaders of the Communist party during the war, and was with these central Communist leaders at Yan'an. He witnessed first-hand much of what occurred at upper levels of the CCP and knew many of its leaders personally. He was the first American citizen to join the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
link to www.stumbleupon.com
Rittenberg's connections and experience have enabled him to run a successful consultancy business representing some of the world's biggest brands, such as Intel, Levi Strauss, Microsoft, Hughes Aircraft and Teledesic.
1. Foreign nationals are not allowed to be naturalized as Chinese citizens. How did these jewish people magically do it?
2. Rittenberg's "consultancy business" is in fact one of the largest, or largest, advertising agencies in the world. Was he the actual Chinese minister of propaganda?
A note about Mao: He was picked up to play puppet leader with resourced funneled through Yale University (whose symbol has Hebrew on it), in a Skull and Bones type scheme. The location was Yali Highschool in Changsha, Hunan Province - a branch of Yale. Mao was a disturbed young man - a completely controllable, blackmailable puppet for their purposes.

Israel Epstein, Sidney Shapiro (Sha Boli) and Chen Bidi were born in Poland, the United States and Canada respectively, and they obtained Chinese nationality in 1957 and 1963. As experts who have long been working in the field of foreign publicity, they witnessed China's revolution and socialist modernization drive.

Virginius Frank Coe, Jewish operative in China. From wikipedia: Blacklisted...Coe sought work abroad, eventually finding...the People's Republic of China, where he joined a circle of expatriates working with the government. In 1962, he was joined by Solomon Adler in the circle. Coe participated in Mao's Great Leap Forward, a plan for the rapid industrialization and modernization of China. His works include articles justifying the Rectification campaign.

Yeah the Jewish mafia aka the "Russian Mafia" is heavily involved in drug trafficking and the violence and poverty that is a result of it.
The major figure in uncovering the Russian Jewish Mafia in America was a journalist named Robert I. Friedman who died in 2002 at the age of 51 from a so-called "tropical disease."
In his book, Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America, Friedman interviewed major underground Russian Jewish figures and uncovered their criminal activities in the USA.
After Friedman's book was published, Russian Jewish Mafia leaders put a bounty on his head for $100,000. The Russian Jewish Mafia knows that it can murder with impunity given their working relationship with European and American intelligence agencies. Even the FBI in America keeps no files on the activities of the Russian Jewish Mafia.
In fact, the FBI, according to Friedman, is loathe to go after Russian Jewish mafia figures because of intense pressure, (and $$$ to key officials), from the Anti Defamation League (ADL). The ADL persuaded the FBI to call off investigations saying that it would "foster anti-Semitism" and bias Americans against genuine "Soviet-refugees."

springtomize, bigify, iconoclasm do the same thing, although springtomize can do more...
This looks nice but the main problem with it is Mobile Substraite is so unstable it crashes the iPhone a lot and when it does it will screw with this and you will be never ending setting it up the way you wait it then it will crash again and you will again loose the setup and have to start all over again.
I had enough with these kind of customizations a few IOSs ago.
When MS is stable which I doubt it ever will be then these kind of mods will be great.
When things dont rely on MS thats when jailbreaking is really stable. As soon as MS is installed thats when the constant crashes start and when you start having problems.
I said this when everything needed MS and now everything does need MS thats why jailbreaking is unstable.
Its not the jailbreaking of the device its MS thats the problem. Go try it for yourself. Have a fresh device, jailbreak it, install anything you want BUT NOT MS and nothing that needs MS. Give it a week and you will see how nice and stable it is. install JUST MS and give it another week and count all the crashes. I bet you will have tons of crashes on the 2nd week and if your unlucky you will get 1 or 2 in the first week.

Related: VINCENT BONSIGNORE: Vinny Del Negro's future with Clippers should not be Chris Paul's decision
Whatever decisions the Clippers make this week regarding the status of Coach Vinny Del Negro, input of players could turn out to be a key to the process.
Del Negro, who guided the Clippers to the best record in franchise history only to be gutted by a first-round playoff loss, has reached the end of his three-year contract and the club will decide if he returns.
Whether the potential signing of free agent Chris Paul is linked directly to Del Negro's return, the opinion of the All-Star point guard and forward Blake Griffin will fit somewhere in the equation.
"We do the exit interviews for a reason," club vice president of basketball operations Gary Sacks said Monday. "We want to have feedback from our players to hear what they're going to say, but whatever we do, we're going to do as an organization.
"Of course you're going to listen to your star players, you're going to listen to all of your employees and all of your players when you make these kinds of decisions, but I don't think that's unusual for teams."
Del Negro, who took the job following the Clippers' 29-53 season of 2009-10, understands that part of the deal.
"Yeah, I think all that plays a part, but those are questions for them," he said. "I enjoy working with them, they're great guys, they're incredibly talented and they're the nucleus of the team that you want to keep intact and move forward with. I've enjoyed working with them and I've seen their development."
Sacks said there is no timetable for making a decision on Del Negro's future with the Clippers, who won 56 games this season before bowing out in six games in the playoff series against Memphis.
"We'll sit down and talk with Vinny and I will go over some things for the future and discuss it with our owner (Donald Sterling) and see where we're at," Sacks said. "It's kind of early right now, we're still in the process of getting feedback from everybody and seeing how we came up short in the series.
"The team did a lot of good things this year. (In) the regular season, we obviously did some things the franchise has never done, but when you don't accomplish your goals and you don't get as far as you'd like in the playoffs, obviously you have to evaluate everything.
"There's no actual set schedule, but we'd like to do things as quickly as possible to make sure we can move forward. There's no real time frame, but the sooner the better."
Though the coaching situation could be resolved this week, Paul's status will drag through the summer. Teams, including the Clippers, are not allowed to speak with free agents until July 1.
"The No. 1 priority for us right now has to be signing our star player, Chris Paul," Sacks said. "That's our goal. We want to put ourselves in a position to do that. We feel like this organization is in a position to move forward with that goal in mind.
"I feel very confident. He is an integral part of this and we feel like we've had a great partnership for the last couple years and we want to continue it, obviously."

Listen: Sylvia Plath Reads "Daddy"By Sadie Stein
In honor of "Daddy"'s fiftieth birthday, listen to the author herself read.
In honor of "Daddy"'s fiftieth birthday, listen to the author herself read.
Every morning, when my sleeping pill wears off, I am up about five, in my study with coffee, writing like mad—have managed a poem a day before breakfast. All book poems. Terrific stuff, as though domesticity had choked me.
—Sylvia Plath, letter to her mother, October 12, 1962
They were "dawn poems in blood," those lines stormed onto paper while the children slept; several of them were written through fevers, and the heat seared onto the pages, those old memorandum sheets marked Smith College, or the back of a manuscript marked The Calm. That had been a radio play, drafted by Ted Hughes in their flat in London early the previous year; now Sylvia Plath was in the Devon farmhouse they'd bought soon afterward, and Hughes was back in London, banished, their marriage over. It was late 1962, and in the space of eight weeks, it brought Plath forty of what would become her Ariel poems. They were, she wrote to the poet Ruth Fainlight, "free stuff I had locked in me for years," and now they were out. And they were astonishing. Only pain could have released them, only fury and outrage and jealousy and panic of the sort into which Plath's daily universe had plunged. "I kept telling myself I was the sort that could only write when peaceful at heart," she told Fainright, "but that is not so, the muse has come to live here, now Ted is gone."
All of these poems would be in the black binder found in Plath's London flat following her suicide just three months later, on February 11. They were poems so extreme they would be turned down by several magazines (only to become suddenly suitable for publication after the sensation of her death). Look how they came, one after the other, during that ferocious fall. September 26: "For a Fatherless Son." September 30: "A Birthday Present." October 1: "The Detective." October 2: "The Courage of Shutting Up." From October 3 to 10, Plath wrote her five bee poems, including "Stings" and "The Arrival of the Bee Box." On October 10, "A Secret." October 11 brought "The Applicant" ("It can sew, it can cook, / It can talk, talk, talk"). And fifty years ago today, on October 12, Plath sat down at the writing desk Hughes and her brother had made for her from a plank of elm, and she wrote her most famous poem. She wrote her father, and she wrote her festered grief, and she wrote her maddened Electra, and she wrote the unforgiving child who still ran riot in her veins; she finally got it down, so much of what had been propelling her from the moment she wrote her very first poem. "You do not do, you do not do"—what a line. What a spiel. What a fit of incantation. Whatever you think of "Daddy"—wherever you stand on the question of whether its tirades are transgressions, whether its swoop into Holocaust imagery is a mere looting and parading of angers not the poet's own—there is no denying its extraordinary power. It stops the breath; it bothers the heart. What must it have been like, that morning, beneath the quaint thatch of that Devon farmhouse, for Plath to find herself writing this fireball of a poem?

Born as Enrique Martin Morales, Martin has achieved worldwide success, starting with his selection to substitute Ricky Melendez in Menudo in 1984 until 1988. His meteoric ascent to fame started in Menudo's homebase, Caguas, site of his first concert. He signed Sony in 1990.
It continued after he left Menudo, when he moved to Mexico and participated in soap operas like Alcanzar Una Estrella II and in the music group Munecos De Papel. Later, in Hollywood he participated in General Hospital.
Ricky established himself in Miami and connected with music creator Desmond Child and Puerto Rican agent Angelo Medina. With these 2 in tow, Ricky created hits like "Maria", "The Cup Of Life", and "Livin' La Vida Loca". He sang "The Cup Of Life" during a World Cup transmission that gave him worldwide exposure, but it was "Livin' La Vida Loca" that propelled him to the minds of all teenaged girls around the world and into the covers of Tiger Beat and all other major teen magazines world wide.
Ricky was chosen, along with Felix Trinidad in 1999, to lead Puerto Rico's worldwide tourism campaign, both exemplifying Puerto Rico's youthfulness, enthusiasm and never give up character.
Martin has also teamed up with former Menudo bandmate Robi Rosa, who has written many of Ricky's hits. Martin recently adopted three little girls from India.
In 2003, Martin announced that he and his agent, Angelo Medina, have parted ways.
In February of 2004, Martin received a lifetime achievement award at the Premios Lo Nuestro in Miami.

USC alum takes love for retro rock to market
By Jeff Stensland, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3686
Anyone who hears Philippe Herndon talk about his company will know instantly that he loves his job. His face lights up and his rapid fire voice goes into overdrive as he describes his newest product or rattles off stories about his recent dealings with suppliers. That passion seems fitting considering Herndon's business is making handcrafted electric guitar distortion pedals for serious rock musicians.
"With analog pedals the effort you create, the kinetic energy you create, directly corresponds to the electric energy that's created within the guitar and within the pedals. Our stuff is meant to be very dynamic and very much driven to how much energy you create," Herndon said.
Herndon, who earned an International MBA from the Moore School of Business in 2009, founded Columbia-based Caroline Guitar Company in 2010. His products are designed to appeal to the subset of rock music aficionados who long for the heavy, raw guitar sound of the 1970s. Much of that sound, they lament, has been replaced by the more sleek but soulless sound produced by modern digital equipment.
"Most stuff today sounds like what we call 'corporate hard.' The most popular distortion pedal out there is like Budweiser. It may not be bad if you're sitting out at the pool on a hot day, but if you've made a nice meal yourself, you've cooked something cool, are you really going to mix it with Budweiser? You want something with a more refined flavor," Herndon said.
The products have won accolades from buyers and critics alike, with its first model named to 'Guitar Magazine's' top 10 pedal list. So far Caroline Guitar has sold about 1,500 pedals and their products can be found in 30 different retailers in seven countries. All their pedals are made in a small workshop located on the third floor of the USC/Columbia Technology Incubator.
Each of the company's four signature models (Wave Cannon, Olympia, Icarus and Kilobyte) is designed to create different retro sounds and effects. The Olympia, for example, will help produce the deep and fuzzy guitar sound of early Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
Stylish design is an important element to buyers, and Caroline Guitar pedals are powder coated in vibrant colors and have screen printed lettering and graphics. Custom designs also are produced on demand.
Herndon, 40, said his interest in distortion pedals came from the seven years he spent on the road as a touring rock guitarist, where he discovered it was cheaper to learn to fix his broken pedals rather than send them away for repair.
"I became obsessed with them. Over the course of six or seven years I owned like 75 different distortion pedals," he said.
After three years of operating Caroline Guitars Herndon practices what he calls '1970s capitalism'-- focusing on keeping the business simple, with a clear bent toward customer service.
"One of the things I learned at the Moore School, in operations management, is that if something goes wrong and you rectify that favorably for the customer, your customer is as loyal--if not more loyal--than if nothing had gone wrong in the first place."
Being located in the Incubator gives Herndon and his team access to business coaching for startups. Herndon has bonded with Greg Hilton, director of the Center for Entrepreneurial and Technological Innovation (CETi) who also is located at the Incubator.
"He's such a natural pitch man for his company," Hilton said. "He has an incredible blending of backgrounds between being a touring musician, a savvy entrepreneur and an incredible product designer. We've been privileged to work with him to build his capacity as a CEO and to help him realize his goal of building one of the most recognized effects pedals companies in the U.S."
Herndon said the advice he's gotten from Hilton has been invaluable. "Greg's awesome. The best way I'd describe it is like a batting or pitching coach. You can ask 'what do you see here that's causing me not to throw straight?'"
Not all the lessons along the way have been fun. Last year was stressful as Herndon figured out how to balance family life with the demands of a growing business. He also had to grow a thicker skin to operate in the ultra-competitive world of boutique guitar pedals.
"The elimination of some of my naiveté is one of the best things I've learned in business. I used be like 'Oh, (retailers) want to carry our product because they really like us.' No, they want to carry our products so they can make money," he said.

Hundreds from the Mount Saint Mary College community – students,
alumni, faculty, staff, friends, and neighbors – recently gathered
to form a human chain, and passed 25 final selected books to the
college's new, state-of-the-art library.
The chain spanned from Aquinas Hall up the hill to the recently
opened Dominican Center: new site of the Mount Saint Mary College
James Finn Cotter, an English scholar for more than half a
century, started the books off at the old library. Mount President
Fr. Kevin E. Mackin, OFM, received them at the new library.
The selected tomes symbolize the breadth of the Mount's academic
programs, including arts and letters, natural and social sciences,
philosophy and religious studies, nursing and transcultural
service, mathematics, business, education, and more, appropriately
including a dictionary and a Bible. Among others were "Luther's
Works" by Martin Luther, "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith, and
"The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American
Children" by Gloria Ladson-Billings.
The chain mirrored a similar event in Mount history, when
students and faculty helped move the library contents from the
Villa Madonna to Aquinas Hall.
Passing the books were representatives of each of the college's
disciplines, including Sr. Marion Beagen, OP, and Sr. Pat Sullivan,
OP, professor of mathematics, who have been members of the
community since before the first book procession on another winter
day in 1963.
Also on hand was Sr. Margaret Anderson, OP, of the board of
directors of Newburgh Ministry.
The new library contains about 100,000 volumes, audio visual
materials, and access to numerous databases of journals and other
scholarly articles.
"The opening of the Mount Saint Mary College Library in the
Dominican Center is a milestone in the history of Mount Saint Mary
College," explained Barbara Petruzzelli, Mount librarian. "The
college will find this one of the best places on campus for
authentic learning."
The move was accompanied by the melodic skirl of the Mount's
resident bagpiper, Brett Bondar, Information Technology Support
Center coordinator.
Students have been enjoying the new library since the beginning
of January. It was first utilized by 94 Latin American students
from International Business School – São Paulo in Brazil, who
completed a three-week business course at the college.
Before Christmas break, Fr. Mackin blessed the first selected
books, including "Transcultural Nursing Theory and Models" by Mount
nursing professor Priscilla Sagar.
"I truly believe that Vartan Gregorian, president of the
Carnegie Corporation and past president of the New York Public
Library, has captured what a library is," said Fr. Mackin. "He
said, 'Above all else, the library constitutes an act of faith in
the continuity of life. It represents – embodies – the spirit of
humanity in all ages. Together with the museum, the library is the
DNA of our culture.' "

Never heard of such a thing?! Anything related to the Bermuda Triangle mystery?
How cool is THAT!? Imagine how much energy that "storm" has... imagine how much electricity it could generate if we could tap into it...
I just saw the date. it's old news. why hasn't it been all over the news.
From the article:
The sea storms - which are better known as eddies - form bizarre whirl shaped shapes deep beneath the ocean's surface.
This counter-clockwise eddy is thought to have peeled off from the Agulhas Current, which flows along the southeastern coast of Africa and around the tip of South Africa.
Agulhas eddies - also called 'current rings' - tend to be among the largest in the world, transporting warm, salty water from the Indian Ocean to the South Atlantic.
It looks like Van Goh's ear. The artist in me.

you've ruled out a checksum error in your downloads by performing the md5 checksum comparison. you've (mostly) ruled out defective dvd-r media and a defective dvd burner by taking the next step and using probably unetbootin to deliver the ISO file to a usb pendrive. you've ruled out defective usb pendrive (mostly) by the simple fact that unetbootin or whatever utility you used to create it completed creating the pendrive correctly. try the pendrive in another machine. i suspect you will not find it to be the problem.
i assume you have 2 4gb ram cards, so you may have removed one, retried and then should have removed the other prior and reinstalled the first one you removed for one last try. you've taken good steps to rule out many of the possible issues so far.
try this: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/cr...271&NewLang=en
it will work on non-seagate drives as well to test for defective physical media/hdd. ruling this out could be easiler than looking at whatever issue may have occured with the bootloader/partition table or just fully wiping it out of frustration.done that.. and more likely,given that it's a very new machine. you tend to discover legitimately defective harddrives very quickly.
hope this helps. my only other advice is if you are getting heated, turn it off and just go think about it. come back refreshed with a new set of eyes, and you'll remember the one stupid step you skipped over diagnosing it.

...to buy a new rifle that is. You guys have a wealth of knowledge on these things, so I'd really appreciate your advice.
I am considering a new rifle for varmint (mostly coyote) and deer sized game (and perhaps an elk at modest range in a pinch). After reading a bunch of the posts here on both calibers and rifles, I am considering a .243 or a .260 Rem in a Tikka T3 Lite, a Savage or the Remington 700 or model Seven.
Since I'm not currently reloading, the .243 seems a bit ahead with more factory ammo choices, plus I don't hear too much about the .260 these days.
For the rifle, I'd really like one that gives me my best chance at a good shooter straight out of the box with no work accept picking a load it likes. And if it turns out to need a little work, which one is most easily and inexpensively tuned.
What are your thought, suggestion or recommendations? Any other choices you'd recommend?
Sorry so long winded and convoluted, just wanted to send a clear picture on what I want.
Any advice is much appreciated,

Israeli Army Says Reducing Operations in W. Bank, Gaza(REUTERS) By Jeffrey Heller JERUSALEM, ISRAEL Additional reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi in Gaza 01/28/05 08:40 AM ET)
Source: http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=7467071
Reuters News Service
Reuters News Service Articles-Index-Top
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel announced on Friday it was sharply reducing its military operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in response to efforts by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to end attacks on Israelis.
The new rules of engagement, issued soon after Palestinian paramilitary police widened their control in the Gaza Strip, put limits on the targeted killing of militants and followed a call by Abbas for Israel to agree to a cease-fire with gunmen.
But in a sign of challenges for Abbas and his hopes of reviving peacemaking, final results showed the Islamic militant group Hamas swept nearly two-thirds of the seats in Gaza Strip council elections, winning control of 7 out of 10 councils.
Backing away from confrontation after more than four years of violence, the Israeli military said in a communique: "Proactive army operations in the Gaza Strip will cease in the areas in which Palestinian security forces have redeployed."
It said "army targeting of terrorists in the West Bank will take place only if there is an immediate threat by active terrorist cells" and only with explicit authorization from the chief of staff.
The statement said army chief Moshe Yaalon had decided on the moves "in light of the ongoing cooperation between Israel and the representatives of the Palestinian Authority."
Arrangements would be made, the army said, to reopen next week Gaza border crossings closed after attacks by gunmen.
Responding to the Israeli announcement, Palestinian cabinet minister Saeb Erekat called on Israel to declare a full cessation of violence against Palestinians.
"We have a similar obligation to stop violence against Israelis anywhere in line with the ´road map´," he said about a U.S.-backed peace plan charting mutual steps toward creation of a Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Israeli Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian officials hailed a new mood of goodwill since Abbas´s election on Jan. 9 on a platform of non- violence to replace the late Yasser Arafat.
"A window of opportunity, a dramatic change is shaping up and taking place," said Olmert, a close ally of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Building on a northern Gaza deployment a week ago, 2,000 Palestinian paramilitary police fanned out across the southern part of the occupied territory, which they have not patrolled since 2001.
The United States and Israel have demanded the Palestinians crack down on militant attacks on Israelis before peacemaking can move forward.
Over the past week, violence has dropped sharply in the Gaza Strip, where Abbas is trying to coax militants into a truce they demand Israel also accept in the run-up to a planned Israeli withdrawal this summer.
With Palestinian flags flapping from their vehicles, paramilitary police drove in a convoy to Gaza´s border with Egypt, where Israel has mounted punishing raids in residential areas to root out weapons- smuggling tunnels and gunmen.
Other contingents armed with assault rifles took up positions between Jewish settlements on occupied land, frequently hit by mortar bombs and rockets fired by militants, and Palestinian towns.
"I am very happy. Now we can sleep in peace," said Salah al-Najar, who lives near the Jewish settlement of Morag. "My children were constantly afraid of noises Israeli tanks made."
In a sign of a new push for peace, U.S. officials said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would visit the region early next month. Palestinian officials said she would hold talks in Israel and the West Bank on Feb. 6 and 7. (Additional reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi in Gaza) (© Reuters 2005 01/28/05)

Emily Ratajkowski is Now Modeling Swimsuits
Published in the January 2014 issue
A guy walks into a bar and orders a beer. He takes his first sip, sets it down, and before he can take another, a monkey swings down and steals the pint of beer.
Infuriated, the guy asks the bartender who owns the monkey. The bartender says it's the piano player's. So the guy walks over to the piano player and says, "Do youknow your monkey stole my beer?"
The pianist replies, "No, but if you hum it, I'll play it."
About the jokester: Outside of a couple close friends on her team, no one in Portia Doubleday's kickball league knows that she's the actress who toyed with Michael Cera in 2010's Youth in Revolt and who played the main instigator in Carrie this past fall. Instead the 25-year-old is known as the girl with the shot knees who can barely run in a single. "I played soccer for 12 years on three different teams at a time. I definitely can't do what I used to be able to, which is annoying because I was pretty fast." While we can't say much for her place in the kicking order, given her part as a call girl of the near future in Her, a Spike Jonze movie about a man's (Joaquin Phoenix) budding romance with his computer, we have a feeling Portia's notoriety on the team is about to change.

GSA Announces 2006 Travel and Relocation Innovation Award Winners
DHS and the Department of Interior Recognized
June 30, 2006
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced that the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection Service (CBP) received GSA's first biennial 2006 Travel and Relocation Innovation Award, and the Department of Interior's National Park Service Midwest Region (DOI) was awarded an honorable mention.
"The award program delivers on GSA's mission to be, not only the federal government's premier acquisition provider, but also the leader in setting and supporting governmentwide policy that increases government effectiveness and efficiency, while adding value to taxpayer dollars," said GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. "GSA's efforts also are consistent with the commitments in the President's Management Agenda to expand the use of electronic government as one means to meet administration goals."
GSA established this award to promote improvements in travel and relocation management in the federal government by recognizing and publicizing innovative achievements that benefit the entire federal community.
Both awards were announced and presented yesterday in Los Angeles California at GSA's National Travel Forum.
CBP's work to protect US borders requires constant relocation of the more than 15,000 border patrol agents. To address its need and to reduce costs, CBP developed the innovative Volunteer Relocation Program, approved under a GSA Federal Travel Regulation Pilot Test Program. Under the Volunteer Relocation Program, border patrol agents who volunteer to relocate receive a lump sum reimbursement for relocation expenses. The lump sum is less than the typical relocation reimbursement paid to those whose relocations are mandatory.
DOI was recognized for creating a centralized, online travel and relocation program, which provided customers with immediate access to need-to-know information, thus reducing overall relocation man-hours and management costs.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

Angelina Jolie reveals she had preventative double mastectomy
(Yahoo!) - Angelina Jolie, known for being fiercely private, has made a very personal disclosure.
The Oscar-winning actress reveals in an emotional op-ed for the New York Times that she underwent a double mastectomy earlier this year after a blood test showed she was genetically susceptible to cancer.
"The truth is I carry a 'faulty' gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer," she writes. "Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy."
The 37-year-old mother of six says her decision was triggered in part by the death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away from cancer at the age of 56.
Over the course of three months, beginning in February and ending in late April, Jolie went through a series of medical procedures to have her breasts removed and then reconstructed. And her fiancé, Brad Pitt, stood by her side every step of the way.

"I am fortunate to have a partner, Brad Pitt, who is so loving and supportive," says Jolie. "Brad was at the Pink Lotus Breast Center, where I was treated, for every minute of the surgeries. We managed to find moments to laugh together. We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has."
Though she managed to keep the procedures under wraps, she says that she wanted to come forward now "because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience."

Brigham Young's participation in the 18th annual Coaches vs. Cancer Classic is important to the Cougars on two levels.
First, each of the four coaches involved in the two-day event, which begins Friday inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, have personally experienced the bludgeoning effect of cancer, making this a cause close to the heart.
"It has been in the works for about three years," BYU coach Dave Rose said about BYU's invitation. "We got some real momentum a couple of years ago when I went back to Washington, D.C. [to appear before Congress with other coaches about the need for cancer research funds]. I met the two or three guys from the American Cancer Society who are involved in selecting the teams that play, and they were kind enough to think of us [as a worthy participant]."
BYU plays Florida State at 5 p.m. MT, followed by Notre Dame and Saint Joseph's University. TruTV, which will broadcast the event, plans to air a feature about Rose, who overcame pancreatic cancer.
Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton lost two brothers to cancer, while St. Joe's coach Phil Martelli's son-in-law died from cancer. Notre Dame coach Mike Brey's father is a cancer survivor.
"When you look around our society, you see so many people affected in one way or another by this dreaded disease. In my mind, I've always wanted to contribute as much as possible to the fight," Hamilton said.
The second reason for playing is the impact this appearance, in the heart of the U.S. media center, will have on this season's BYU basketball program.
"We've gotten some nice respect the past few years, and getting invited to the tournament is a sign of that," BYU's Brock Zylstra said. "Now we have to go out there and have a good showing, show that we belong.
"With the caliber of teams that are going to be in New York, it is something that we are thrilled to be a part of."
After opening the season with a five-point loss to South Alabama, Florida State (1-1), which won the 2012 ACC Championship, rebounded to beat Buffalo by nearly 30.
This is the first meeting between the Seminoles and the Cougars (2-0) since Dec. 29, 1972, when BYU defeated FSU 80-77 to win the championship game of the All-College Tournament in Oklahoma City, Okla.
"I don't know if I would call it pressure," Zylstra said. "Coach talks about how you accept pressure and how you use it to drive yourself. Pressure shouldn't make you nervous; it should drive you to excel. There's no pressure with us because we've already been invited."
In theory, a good showing could set the table for the rest of the season. BYU is coming off a 26-9 record and a first-round victory in the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars have won 25 or more games and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for six consecutive seasons.
"These are all really important games," Rose said. "I think everybody knows here that every game counts and we need to play our best."

5. Vanishing Vanguard
Since 1992, British photographer Richard Pare has captured more than 15,000 images of buildings designed and constructed within the former Soviet Union between 1922 and 1932. Long before modern architecture was co-opted by Corporate America or downtown civic boosters, these buildings fulfilled Modernism's original social mandate for communal living and the collective good. From Azerbaijan to Georgia to Russia, Pare covered thousands of miles to produce "The Lost Vanguard: Soviet Modernist Architecture, 1922–1932," which is on view in Chicago through Feb. 16, 2013, at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.

More Radar Images
Composite Reflectivity
The strongest returned energy for each elevation angle in a volume scan is compiled into one image called, simply, composite reflectivity. Whereas the base reflectivity image is the first image available during a volume scan, the composite reflectivity image is one of the last views necessitated by the need for all elevation scans to be completed before this image can be produced.
Therein lies an important point when viewing composite reflectivity images; always check the time of the image. Often, the base reflectivity image and composite reflectivity image will not have the same time with the base reflectivity image being the most recent.
When compared with Base Reflectivity, the Composite Reflectivity can reveal important storm structure features and intensity trends of storms. This is important because often during the development of strong to severe thunderstorms, rain-free areas (or areas with light rain) develop as a result of strong updrafts.
As you "mouseover" the composite image (lower right) it will change to the base reflectivity image from the same time as the composite view. The first thing you will notice about the composite image is there is much more "green" color near the radar, located at the center.
When higher elevation scan information is included in the composite reflectivity, it appears to indicate more widespread rain. However, the base reflectivity images does not show that rain so it is probably not reaching the ground but evaporating as it falls from very high in the atmosphere.
Evidence of very strong updrafts (leading to the possibility of severe weather) can be seen when comparing the two images. At #1, the fuschia colored region, visible on the composite image, is all but missing on the base reflectivity.
Using the color scale, this area is at 65 dBZ on the composite image. This is an area of concern as this is probably hail that has yet to fall. Remember the old adage "What goes up, must come down". Some or most of the hail may melt before reaching the ground but at the very least, intense, blinding rain may be about to occur near this location.
The notches, at #2 and #3, show more rain supported by strong updrafts. Those locations require additional interrogation to determine what is taking place at these locations which will come from the velocity products.
Note: Use caution when interpreting any radar image. No single image (or combination of images) from the NWS Doppler radar will provide the whole picture of the weather occurring in your area. Also, these images are a picture of what HAS happened and not what IS happening, as there will be a delay in the time the image was created and the time it is made available on the Internet. Always check the time of each image.

Shark Week Once Mattered; Now It's a Joke
(NEWSER) – The Discovery Channel's Shark Week is under way again, but it can't end soon enough for Alan Yuhas at the Guardian. Discovery now prefers schlock to science, as evidenced by the fictional documentaryMegalodon: The Monster Shark Lives that kicked off this year's festivities. When it began 20-plus years ago, Shark Week actually served a useful purpose in educating people about sharks and marine biology. Now, it's a joke. "Discovery made its name as a champion for science, but it's been abandoning that mission for years," complains Yuhas.

In fact, few may realize there's a devilish plan afoot to get us out of our cars once and for all: the Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) — a euphemism for, among other things, two permanent bus-only lanes on El Camino Real.
Interestingly, however, both Stanford's Steve Elliott and city staff cited the Stanford project's "fit" with the Grand Boulevard Initiative as a "benefit." Really?
Consider, if the GBI folks really wanted to improve Peninsula transit, they'd be focusing on our east-west connectivity. After all, in addition to Caltrain, we have buses running north/south on El Camino.
But this plan is not primarily about transportation, it is about changing our lives, both by urbanizing our suburbs, and by making driving practically unfeasible. Otherwise, why is the plan also espousing high-density zoning for one quarter mile on either side of El Camino?
Here's a quote from the GBI Principles: "Amend General Plans and implement zoning and Specific Plans that facilitate increases in density, particularly around transit stations and key intersections." In GBI logic, more people crammed into tight spaces near bus routes means more riders. So, instead of the buses serving the needs of the community, the community is being reconfigured to serve the needs of the buses!
That is, of VTA and SamTrans under the umbrella of the GBI, partnering with the usual suspects: special interests, developers, and bureaucrats who relish the opportunity to foist their pipe-dreams on an unsuspecting public. Peninsula cities have representatives at the GBI table. Mayor Ohtaki represents Menlo Park on the GBI Task Force. Maybe it is time to tell him what you think of the plan. Otherwise, get ready to queue up and wait for the bus.

In the temperate zone, there are few areas with flowers for butterflies to feed on, so these delicate little insects must migrate to reach their best feeding grounds. They will fly in a straight line to a flowery meadow, but on arriving they change their behavior and act as though they live there. They feed from the flowers, mate, and the females lay their eggs. But their idyllic meadow life lasts only a short time. Within a few minutes or several days, the butterflies leave the field.
Butterflies migrate only at the hottest times of the day and then only when the Sun is shining. When the Sun is at its brightest, they line themselves up at an angle to the horizon. As the angle of the Sun changes, they maintain the same angle to the horizon. Since this angle stays constant, the direction they're moving in changes by approximately 15 degrees an hour. But unlike the temperate species, tropical butterflies do not change their migrational direction throughout the day.
An individual butterfly heading east in the morning will still be flying east when evening falls. At the start of the journey, it takes its direction from the Sun, but does not subsequently alter its course as the Sun's position changes. Consequently, the butterfly must know that the Sun changes its position, and that if it changes its own course accordingly, it will arrive at the wrong place. It must also know the right and the wrong destinations for itself, and what direction will take it to the correct one. Each butterfly possesses all this knowledge, but by itself, this knowledge is not enough. Each butterfly must evaluate this in relation to its location and make a decision. Of course it is not rational to think that all of this depends on a little butterfly's ability to judge. The reality is that Allah has created all the characteristics they need to carry on with their lives.Even the most durable pocket compass loses its sensitivity over time due to electromagnetic effect. However, the direction finding ability of these little butterflies, which is such an important aspect of their lives, is not damaged by external influences and does not let them down in the midst of their journey. Allah has created all life forms perfectly. In a verse of the Qur'an, Allah reveals the following about His creation of creatures:
Allah created every animal from water. Some of them go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and some on four. Allah creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things. (Surat an-Nur, 45)

Enjoying the Limelight
June 29th, 2011
This June has been a thrilling month for Cecil County Public Library. Summer Reading always brings an energizing start to summer, but we also recently won two prestigious awards: one for our blog and another for our My Library, My Lifeline logo! We're pretty cheerful folk around here, but everyone is extra excited to see our library get such special attention.
We were delighted to receive a 2011 Library Blog Award from Salem Press, a major library publisher. Out of hundreds of nominations, we won first place in the Outstanding Local Blog category. Thank you for your votes! We were very proud to share the nomination with other amazing library blogs such as Athens-Clarke County Library, Seattle Public Library, New York Institute of Technology, and Santa Fe Public Library.
This past weekend, our library was also honored with a Best of Show Award for our My Library, My Lifeline logo. The Best of Show Awards recognize the top public relations materials produced by American libraries in the past year. The logo is a visual representation of how libraries are a vital lifeline to so many crucial resources and services – books, computers, legal information, the arts, health information, and much more. This past year, the Friends of the Cecil County Public Library started selling beautiful tote bags that feature the logo. You can get one at any CCPL Branch for only $2.
These awards are an amazing way to start the summer, but seeing Cecil County in the national spotlight also makes us really proud. We might be a smaller, mostly rural county, but we have so much to offer (great libraries are just one of many things). As our director, Denise Davis, said "the awards are a tribute to our amazingly creative and tech-savvy staff, to our Library Board members who have a strong commitment to innovation, and also to our community which inspires our work."
Thanks for supporting and inspiring us! So join us and bask a little in the limelight.
What makes you proud to live in Cecil County?
