What Is Information Literacy?
"Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate and use effectively the needed information." (ACRL Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education).
Information literacy instruction is most effective when it is integrated into the academic curriculum. The library provides a curriculum integrated approach to library instruction designed to address student learning of both academic tools and research strategies. Librarians will collaborate with classroom faculty to provide instruction in information literacy concepts as well as the mechanics of locating, evaluating, and accessing information sources.

An iPod dock transforms a baby's room
Zak Billmeier grew up in southern Vermont and coastal Maine. After graduating from Mary Washington College with a Geography degree he still isn't sure quite what to do with, he eventually settled in the mountains of Central Virginia. He spends his free time chasing his daughter around, taking pictures, gardening and cooking. He joined Crutchfield's car A/V writing team in 2007 and is now a lead producer on our video team.
More from Zak Billmeier
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Since babies go from an environment of fairly loud, constant noise to one of relative quiet when they're born, it's no surprise that they respond well to music being played. My little daughter, for example, seems to like the strumming of a guitar. Since I can't very well sit in her room and strum all night long, a music player made the most sense.
But here's the problem - I haven't owned a boombox or portable player of any kind in years. I listen to my car stereo, or connect iTunes to my home stereo. Fortunately, my wife has an iPod, so the choice became clear: an iPod dock.
The i-DS2 fits well in a baby's room.
I knew I wanted a dock that was small enough to fit amongst my daughter's toys, diapers, and other baby gear, but also powerful enough to take downstairs when people came over. After doing my research I settled upon a dock from a trusted name: the Boston Acoustics Horizon i-DS2. It's about the size of a loaf of bread, and I have a history with Boston Acoustics - I have their S95 6x9s in the rear deck of my car, and S65RC 6-1/2s in the front door. I love them. So I figured, hey, this iPod dock has got to sound good.
And indeed, it sounds good. Really good. The bass response is great, thanks to a port on the backside of the dock. I keep the EQ flat on the iPod, and the dock sounds fantastic at that setting, though I plan to try edging up the highs slightly. And it's 15 watts RMSx2, plenty loud enough for more grownup applications.
The i-DS2 is small, but powerful - it can fill your living room with sound when the baby's not using it.
The rest you probably know how to do - make a baby playlist, sync the iPod, pop it in the dock. One tip, though - don't put it too close to your baby monitor, or you defeat its purpose entirely.

WSJ Publishes One-Sided Report On Controversial Charter Schools
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
The Wall Street Journal presented a one-sided picture of the charter school network Knowledge Is Power Program, touting a KIPP charter school's higher test scores while ignoring criticism about KIPP schools' selection process and attrition rates.
The Journal, reporting on school closings in Washington, D.C., noted that test scores at a KIPP charter school are higher than at a nearby public school:
Since 2009, the portion of Davis students who tested proficient in reading doubled to 34%, while math proficiency jumped to 35% from 22%. At the nearby KIPP school, 59% are proficient in reading and 75% in math.
But the Journal made no mention of how KIPP has been scrutinized for student selection and for high attrition rates among lower-performing students who are admitted but never graduate.
In March 2011, researchers at Western Michigan University and Columbia University released a report showing that KIPP schools have higher rates of attrition than traditional public schools and enroll fewer students with disabilities and limited English language skills.
According to the report, "KIPP schools enrolled a lower percentage of students with disabilities (5.9%) than did their local school districts (12.1%)" and "enrolled a lower percentage of students classified as English Language Learners (11.5%) than did their local school districts (19.2%)."
The report found that this "selective entry of students" as well as a high rate of attrition among lower-performing students without replacing them are responsible for KIPP's success at improving student performance:
High rate of student attrition with nonreplacement: The departure of low-performing students helps KIPP improve its aggregate results. Unlike local school districts, KIPP is not replacing the students who are leaving. When a student returns to a traditional public school after the autumn head count, KIPP retains most or all of the money (the amount depends on the particular state) allocated for educating that student during that school year. Traditional public schools do no typically benefit in the same way when they experience attrition, since vacancies are typically filled by other mobile students, even in mid-year. The discussion of findings at the end of this paper describe how "peer effects" play to KIPPs advantage, especially given its practice of filling few of the large number of vacancies from students who leave.
The report further stated that KIPP schools have "substantially higher levels of attrition than do their local schools districts." On average, "approximately 15% of the students disappear from the KIPP grade cohorts each year." Moreover, 30 percent of KIPP students and 40 percent of African-American male students leave KIPP schools between the sixth and eighth grades. KIPP officials have disputed the report.
Richard D. Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation, a progressive non-partisan think tank, echoed the Western Michigan study's findings, writing in a June 2011 blog post:
KIPP hardly demonstrates that with the right teaching approach, economic segregation matters little in public education, because, just below the surface, KIPP schools are demographically nothing like regular high poverty public schools. By definition, KIPP students are from self-selected families who chose to enter a lottery; and KIPP has very high attrition rates.
In his book Class and Schools: Using Social, Economic, and Educational Reform to Close the Black-White Achievement Gap, education expert Richard Rothstein argued that KIPP neglects those students most in need, writing:
They select from the top of the ability distribution those lower-class children with innate intelligence, well-motivated parents, or their own personal drives, and give these children educations they can use to succeed in life.

Can you give us a heads up on how you finally installed it. I have a similar system corei7, GT650m 6gb RAM etc. I pretty much gave up on it while working another project. I also like yourself have installed Cuda/Nvidia on a Core 2 duo with a GT230m got 2292.0 PMKs/s. I have followed Samiux's tutorials successfully in the past for that one.
If you can give me more detail on what you did then I can run a benchmark in pyrit to compare with you. I agree with you those figures are a little disappointing .
Thanks for your help

General Conditions of Financial Aid Offer
I understand and agree that I must promptly report to the Financial Aid Office any changes in my financial, marital, residency, or academic status. Any additional earnings or funds from other sources may result in a reduction of my award and/or require repayment of financial aid funds already advanced to me during the academic year named on this form. I agree to accept responsibility for repayment of any loans awarded to me and understand that when I graduate, withdraw, or cease to be a half-time student, I must report to the Financial Aid Office for an exit interview. I hereby accept the financial on the reverse side. If I wish to reject any of the aid listed, it is my responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office. Any additional financial assistance I receive will be added to my award.
Regrading Notice of Financial Assistance
This notice of financial assistance is based on the documented financial information you submitted on your FAFSA. It is your responsibility to inform the Financial Aid Office if the status of your reported information changes in any way during the academic year for which you are accepting financial aid. If you believe this award is based upon incorrect information, you may request that the Financial Aid Office review your application using the documented information that you must provide.
General Conditions of Financial Assistance
Notice to Cancel Loans
Federal loans may be canceled or reduced in size by refusing to accept any disbursement that is issued.
You Must Inform the Financial Aid Office if the Following Conditions Apply to You
Statement of Educational Purpose
I declare that I will use any funds I receive under the PELL GRANT, SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT, STAFFORD LOAN PROGRAMS, or STATE GRANT PROGRAMS for expenses connected with attendance at Concordia University Irvine.
This policy is in effect as a result of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (HEA 98). The Federal Title IV programs covered under this policy include Federal Pell Grant, ACG, SMART Grant SEOG, Federal Stafford Loan, Federal Plus, and Federal Grad Plus Loans. A student withdrawing from Concordia University during a semester must file an Official Withdrawal Form with the Registrar's Office. If a student is not able to visit the office, he/she may contact a staff person in the Registrar's Office regarding the withdrawal date. The student's official withdrawal date will be determined by the University as: 1) the date the student began the University's withdrawal process; 2) the midpoint of the semester, if the student withdraws without notifying the University; or 3) the student's last date of attendance at an academically related activity, as documented by the University.
If the student begins the withdrawal process and then later decides to continue attendance at Concordia University, the student must indicate this in writing to the Registrar's Office and indicate that his/her intention is to complete the semester.
If the student withdraws during a semester, the portion of the federal grants and loans a student is entitled to receive is calculated on a percentage basis by comparing the total number of days in the semester to the number of days that the student completed before he/she withdrew. If the percentage earned is sixty percent (60%) or greater, the student is considered to have earned one hundred percent (100%) of eligibility. This policy does not affect the student's charges. The University's withdrawal policy will be used to determine the reduction, if any, in the student's tuition, room and board charges. Concordia University's refund policy is determined by a weekly percentage until the sixty percent (60%) or greater point in the semester is reached. If it is determined that a portion of the financial aid received on the student's behalf is unearned, the University shares with the student the responsibility of returning those funds. Any grants and loans that a student is required to return to the federal programs are considered an overpayment. The student must either repay the amount in full or make satisfactory payment arrangements with the Department of Education to repay the amount. If the student fails to repay or make arrangements to repay an overpayment, the student will lose his/her eligibility to receive future federal financial aid at any institution.
Federal regulations require all schools participating in Title IV financial aid programs to have a Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. Title IV financial aid programs include: Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Direct PLUS Loans, and Work-Study. The requirements of this policy apply to all students receiving federal and state aid, and institutional aid per university policy.
Minimum Standards
To remain eligible for federal grants, loans, and work-study, students must meet the standards indicated below at the end of each semester. Please note the standards to establish and maintain eligibility for Title IV assistance are more stringent than the University's academic standards for continuous enrollment. At the end of each term of enrollment, students must earn the minimum cumulative GPA, minimum number of credit hours, and be within the maximum time frame. Failure to meet the minimum cumulative standards may result in a loss of financial aid eligibility.
Qualitative Measure of Progress
The qualitative requirement sets a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) for the degree level at which a student is classified. Note: This is the GPA used to determine one's status and includes grades from courses taken at all other schools that are accepted by Concordia. To remain in compliance, a student must maintain the following cumulative GPA after each period of assessment:
Quantitative Measure of Progress
The quantitative requirement contains two components, (1) Pace of Progression and (2) Maximum Time Frame.
Hours Attempted
Hours attempted include all hours pursued in the student's career and are counted in the maximum time frame whether or not financial aid was received. Attempted hours also include the following: withdrawals, incompletes, failing grades, repeated coursework, and transfer credits accepted by the University.
Repeated Coursework: Students are allowed to repeat a previously passed course and have it count toward enrollment for financial aid eligibility only once. However, all repeats count against the maximum time frame (total attempted credits) and reduce the pace/completion rate because they count as earned credits only once.
Students who do not meet the SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid WARNING. While on WARNING status, students will continue to receive financial aid. All students who are notified of their WARNING status should seek academic counseling and take advantage of all other student services available to ensure student success at Concordia University.
Students who do not meet the SAP standards for more than one term will be PROHIBITED from receiving all financial aid. Being on PROBATION status does not prohibit a student from continuing their education. Students who have lost their financial aid eligibility may be reinstated once they demonstrate satisfactory academic progress.
Only appeals for the following reasons will be accepted:
All appeals must be submitted in writing, and include the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Appeal Form, with supporting documentation attached, to the Financial Aid Office. Acceptable documentation for each circumstance must be stated in the appeal letter and supporting documentation must be attached, such as medical records, death certificates and any documentation that supports the student's mitigating circumstances. The Director of Financial Aid will approve or deny appeals as they are submitted. Results of an appeal will be sent to the student in writing. Any student whose appeal is denied by the Director of Financial Aid has the right to appeal to the Financial Aid Committee. The Financial Aid Committee will use the same criteria in rendering its decision.
If a student's appeal is approved the student will be placed on PROBATION. A student on PROBATION will continue to be eligible for financial aid on a semester by semester basis provided they meet the required terms and conditions as indicated in the student's approval. Failure to meet these requirements on a term by term basis will result in TERMINATION of financial aid.
If a student's appeal is denied the student must meet SAP standards before any further financial aid may be awarded as long as the student hasn't reached the maximum units.
Credits for which a grade of "W" is received are considered attempted credits but not successfully completed credits. A grade of "W" does not impact GPA but does negatively impact the cumulative completion percentage and counts toward the maximum time frame.
Repeated Coursework
Students are allowed to repeat a course as often as allowed by the academic policies of the university. Students are allowed to repeat a previously passed course and have it count toward enrollment for financial aid eligibility only once. However, all repeats count against the maximum time frame (total attempted credits) and reduce the pace/completion rate because they count as earned credits only once.
Transfer credits accepted by the institution and applied toward a student's degree, diploma, or certificate requirements to graduate will apply toward the maximum time frame calculation. If at the point of admission a transfer student's prior academic record does not meet the college's minimum cumulative qualitative or quantitative SAP standards, the university may immediately place the student in a probation status for financial aid eligibility.
Credits for which financial aid is received under a consortium agreement will be included in the calculation of cumulative GPA, completion percentage, and maximum time frame.
Audited courses will not be funded by financial aid and are not included in any financial aid satisfactory academic progress measurements.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) requires institutions of higher education to establish and follow a Code of Conduct with respect to student loans that prohibits conflicts of interest for any financial aid professional [HEOA § 487(a)(25)]. Concordia University is an eligible institution under the Federal Insured Student Loan Program.
In accordance with this requirement, the Office of Financial Aid at Concordia University has issued the following conflict of interest policy and code of conduct.

Stooges frontman Iggy Pop announces death of band's drummer
Listen to the Stooges on iHeartRadio
The Stooges have lost their drummer.
Frontman Iggy Pop revealed in a Facebook post Sunday that his "dear friend Scott Asheton passed away" Saturday night.
Iggy praises Scott as "a great artist," saying he's "never heard anyone play the drums with more meaning" than Scott. He also says Scott was like a brother to him, explaining the Ashetons "have always been and continue to be a second family" to him. Pop adds that Scott's survivors include his sister, his wife, and his daughter, who was "the light of his life." Iggy gives no details about the cause of death. Asheton was 64.
Pop formed The Stooges with Scott and Scott's brother Ron Asheton along with their friend Dave Alexander back in 1967. The pioneering punk rock group broke up in 1974. Iggy reunited with the Asheton brothers in 2003, and brought bassist Mike Watt on board to round out the band's lineup. Former Stooges guitarist James Williamson returned to the group in 2009, following the death of Ron Asheton.

After spending ten years writing it, self-publishing The Lords of Harambee was a difficult decision. I poured my heart and soul into the book, and I want people to read it and be changed by it. I believe it's a good book, and the consistent 5-star ratings on Amazon seem to back that up, but even as I was writing it I knew that publishing it would be difficult. Publishers are driven by the market, and generally expect books to fit neatly into genres that will be familiar to prospective readers.
The Lords of Harambee did not fit that paradigm. It is a serious novel about contemporary issues, but is set three hundred years in the future. It is about war, but is less about military action than about how a diverse range of individuals respond to the incredible traumas and pressures of war. Although futuristic, much of the imagined world is deliberately low-tech. The result is a novel that contains elements of literary fiction, war fiction, postcolonial fiction, military SF, and social SF, but doesn't fit well into any one of those genres. Selling it was never going to be easy. When I submitted a few early chapters to a SF contest, the reviewer questioned whether it was really SF and condescendingly called it "Blackhawk Down in space"–which is exactly what I was trying to achieve. I've since embraced that line, but even that misses the centrality of civilian families to the story and could potentially alienate readers who I think would love the book for its characters. The agents I queried showed no interest.
In the end, I decided to self-publish. It has been a rewarding experience, turning my manuscript into both digital and paperback books and releasing them out into the world. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and far more people have read the book than if I had left it to collect dust in a drawer. I have no regrets. At the same time, I am running up against the same obstacle that other self-published authors inevitably encounter: it is very, very difficult to get noticed in a saturated marketplace. To put it simply, nobody knows the book exists, and it is very hard to get the word out because nobody will review a self-published book. Times are changing, but self-published books still carry a stigma of being low-quality; unfortunately, too much self-published work justifies that generalization. There is only one one way to successfully promote a self-published book, and that is through word of mouth.
So with that, I'd like to list a variety of ways that you–my readers–can help spread the word about my writing. If you like the novel, or if you just like my blog and want to support my writing, consider supporting me in the following ways:
1. Read the Lords of Harambee. Do you like character-driven fiction, science fiction, or international relations? Give the novel a try, even if it's outside your normal range of reading. You can buy it on Amazon, or read the first five chapters for free.
2. Tell friends. Spread the word verbally to your friends, family, or coworkers. Share the link to the book or my blog on Facebook or Twitter. Post a note on your blog or on message forums where you are active. Follow me on Twitter.
3. Recommend the book to those with an online voice. There are limits to how much I can recommend my own book; I'm not exactly neutral. It is my readers who have credibility. Do you know somebody who reviews books or has a website where a book mention might be appropriate? Are you friends with an author or editor who might like the book? Shoot them an e-mail. My single biggest break came when a colleague recommended the novel to Instapundit; he mentioned the book, and I sold 250 copies in 24 hours. These are the opportunities I am hoping to find, and the ones most likely to help the book break out.
4. Like the Facebook page. It's quick and easy to do.
5. Like me on Goodreads. If you're on Goodreads, you can view my author profile and identify me as a favorite author.
6. Write a review or recommend the book on Goodreads. The Lords of Harambee has its own page, where you can rate it, write a review, or recommend it to friends.
7. Write a review on Amazon. This is probably the single best way to help prospective readers decide if a self-published book is any good or not. Don't exaggerate or inflate; just write a truthful review, and show Amazon customers that the book is being read and is stimulating conversation.

NEW YORK CITY -- TouchTunes, the largest in-venue interactive entertainment network in North America, said it has opened a new warehouse for the New York metropolitan area. The facility is located in Jamaica, Queens, and addresses what the jukebox company said is "surging demand from New York area operators for TouchTunes products and services."
"We're very excited to announce our new warehouse," said TouchTunes senior vice-president of sales Phil Cohn. "Our goal is to provide our operators with the best possible customer service. This warehouse will help us better serve New York area operators and the growing demand for our products in the market."
Cohn said New York operators can contact their TouchTunes sales rep for more information on the new warehouse facility.

Hey guys,
I'm new here and was wondering why I can't seem to get vncviewer to work. When I create a session. If I try to switch to the session, it says, "Session 1 (or whatever) is not interactive". Dunno what that means but, vncviewer never comes up it just hangs there and I have to completely exit the framework then go back into msfconsole. When I do a reverse_tcp in meterpreter it actually creates the session and then, it will automatically bring up the meterpreter console.
Could someone please shine some light on this little problem I'm having? BTW I have the latest version of xtightvncviewer or whatever that's called.

Kniola signs letter of intent with Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College
February 27th, 2012 |
Longtime defensive standout Katy Kniola from Michigan City, Indiana, signed a letter of intent to accept a soccer scholarship at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.
Kniola, a four-year starter at Michigan City High School, served as captain during her junior and senior years. She earned defensive most valuable player honors in 2011 and honorable mention in the Post-Tribune, a Chicago Sun-Times publication, all-area selections. Most recently, she was chosen to represent northern Indiana in the Indiana Elite All-Star Showcase. She has had equal success in premier club play for Northwest Indiana United, making it to the State Cup finals and winning the Best of the Midwest Tournament. Her athleticism and technical ability as a defensive player make her a prime college prospect.
Kniola also brings many of the service and citizenship qualities that are highly prized at The Woods. As a person who loves working with children, particularly those with physical disabilities, she has volunteered with Special Olympics and Angels in the Outfield.
Coach Mike Aycock sees Kniola as a key ingredient for a new Pomeroy side. "Katy brings us a second powerful player to play centrally in the back," said Aycock. "She will complement our other players beautifully and will make us better. I am confident that her ability to win balls, defend excellent attacking players and build from the back will change what we can do in our half of the field. We're delighted to have her."

Feb 6, 1978
An enormous winter storm dumped 25 inches of snow in Boston. In the southern part of the state, accumulation was pegged as deep as 54 inches. Winds as powerful as 92 mph whipped the snow into drifts as high as 15' and swelled tides from 3' to 20' above normal causing major coastal flooding. In all, the storm was responsible for 29 deaths, 10,000 evacuations, and $3.2 billion in damage.

19 HP Craftsman Hydrostatic Riding Mower for sale or Trade for Bow or Bow Equipment
Hey there people I am not sure if I should post this on this board or not but here we go..
I have a really nice 19 HP Craftsman Hydrostatic Riding Mower with a 46 inch cut for sale or trade for some great bow equipment.
I was asking $500 for the rider and would consider an even trade if you have some cool stuff that I could use.
Let me tell you what I know about this lawn-mower.
It is a Sears Craftsman 19 HP Hydrostatic
with owners manual
It has a 46 inch cut, the blades are new
It is Hydrostatic so no changing gears
rides real smooth.
It even cuts in reverse.
The engine is clean and has been well taken care of. It had only one owner before me.
It looks really nice.
It has a spot on the front where you can add attachments such as a snow plow or blower
It also has a thing in the back that you can attach a wagon or cart or other such attachments as grass catchers
I plan on taking some pictures of it this weekend and I will post them as soon as I can.
I bought it in October from a guy in Gibson County for $750. I used it twice before I decided to move back to Vigo County and now I have no yard and I cant use it. Actually I have no place to even store it so it is in a friends garage until I can get it sold.
Now I really don't know a lot about lawn mowers but if you want you can ask me any questions you want and I will do my best to answer them.
I am located in Terre Haute Indiana and this obviously an item that must be picked up. So if you have any questions please feel free to ask, if you would like to make arrangements to see this rider, or if you would like to make me an offer or deal then please just email me and give me your thoughts.
My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
If you prefer to call me then my home number is 812-514-9409 if you get the machine then please leave your name and number.
Thank you,
rdnkgrl_robinhood (Valerie King)

Courtney Love to release book in early 2014
Listen to Courtney Love on iHeartRadio
Courtney Love has always been willing to share her thoughts, but now she'll be going into much greater detail.
"Rolling Stone" says a source at Macmillan Publishers has confirmed that the rocker will release her memoirs early next year.
The book - reportedly titled "Courtney Love: My Story" - was rumored to be on track to hit shelves this December thanks to a release date posted on its Amazon.com product page. The publishers say that date is inaccurate, but have yet to offer anything more specific than early 2014 when it comes to "My Story's" release.
The Amazon page also says the book will cover Love's "tragic romance" with Kurt Cobain as well as relationships with Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, and Edward Norton. But she's expected to discuss more than just her love life, offering "unique insights" into the modern rock culture and detailing a life story that the publisher says is "too crazy not to be true."

WATCH: Kanye West finally disses Ray J
Listen to Kanye West on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - We no longer have to wonder what Kanye West thinks of Ray J's Kim Kardashian diss "I Hit It First." West responded Monday when performing his song "Bound 2" during a surprise performance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
West altered the song's opening lyric to attack the R&B singer and reality TV star.
"Brandy's little sister lame and he know it now, when a real brother hold you down, you supposed to drown," West rapped.
West didn't mention Ray J by name, but there is no denying that the lyrics are about him. West instead chose to refer to the Ray J as the younger sibling of Grammy-winning singer and actress Brandy.
Though Ray J is commonly referred to as Brandy's little brother, West took another dig by calling him a girl, "Brandy's little sister."
The original lyric is, "All them other n-ggas lame and you know it now, when a n-gga hold you down, you supposed to drown."
Though Ray J had not responded via Twitter at press time, a few users came to his defense.
Brandy also has not responded.
The feud must be awkward for Brandy. West produced her 2004 hit "Talk About Our Love," and rapped on the song and appeared in the video.
During West's recent interview on Kris Jenner's talk show, he said the first time he met Kim Kardashian was when she was working as Brandy's assistant.
Kardashian and Ray J dated in the past and appeared in the 2007 sextape "Kim K Superstar."
In June, West and Kardashian had a daughter, North West.

i have to say that i am far from experienced in this field, and i have tried to figure this out myself whit out any luck,
i would really appriciate if some one could help me to solve this, and i will try to retur the favor the next time.
best regards
try this before going back to that thread. it contains alot less errors
Thanks Clone, I have tried this and it results in exactly the same error, It looks like it cant communicate with the board, but it recognize it, I`ll see if i cant be the Python module (Libusb) that F"#¤ this up..
VirtualBox supports USB, you can try.
i'm not running b|t inside a VM and still, there was much *undocumented* work to be done in any setup guide I have seen posted getting it all working properly. I'm not sure something like this should be held to a typical "noob-proof" standard either way. Successfully installing this, getting it to work inside wireshark and kismet are sort of scratching the surface. It's installed and works, but they still probably can't do much with it anyway.
there is not much discussion/good solid information about LAP/PAN/piconet and bluetooth monitor mode enabled devices on here. or anywhere else. unless you REALLY search.
just saying.

A Long and Winding Road: A Personal Reflection on the
Life and Music of the Beatles
On March 4, 2014, Glenn Henricksen will present a personal
reflection on life and the music of the Beatles.
More than fifty years after the formation of a rock group named
The Beatles and more than forty years after their demise, their
music is still listened to, analyzed, written about, and above all,
still moves the listener. Why? What is there about their work that
continues to have such an impact? Mr. Henricksen will share why he
feels the music has moved him and will continue to affect us all in
the future. He was first introduced to the depth and meaning of the
Beatles' music more than forty-five years ago and has pondered,
studied, used, and enjoyed it ever since.
Glenn Henricksen (pictured at right) taught religious studies at
Mount Saint Mary College, and chemistry at Mount Saint Mary Academy
high school. Born in Seattle, Washington, and raised in Lookout
Mountain, Tennessee, he went to high school in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. He obtained a bachelor's of chemistry from
Carnegie-Mellon University, a master's of theology from both the
Biblical Seminary in New York and Princeton Theological Seminary,
and a PhD of religious studies from New York University. Henricksen
served several churches as pastor, assistant pastor, and supply
pastor, and spent 18 years as Protestant Chaplain at the Letchworth
Village Developmental Center. He is now retired and resides in the
Town of Newburgh, NY.
The Steinthal Lecture Series was established in memory of former
Mount professor and noted physician Dr. Eric Steinthal, who taught
religion, philosophy, literature, and art at the College for 27

COLLEGEDALE, TN -- McKee Foods Corp. is bringing the 125-year-old Drake's cakes brand to back to store shelves on Monday, Sept. 23. The maker of Little Debbie snack cakes said it will initially launch Drake's most popular varieties -- Devil Dogs, Coffee Cakes, Ring Dings and Yodels -- in retail outlets in the Northeast.
McKee purchased Drake's brands for $27.5 million this spring. Hostess Brands, which previously made Drake's snacks, along with other iconic snacks like Twinkies and Ho Hos, shut down its bakeries in late 2012 after filing for bankruptcy.
Starting Sept. 25, a product locator will be available at drakescake.com. Until then,
Drake's fans can go to Facebook.com/Drakes for the latest in-store sightings of Drake's, and to add their own.
"The launch of these top four varieties is just the beginning for Drake's," said Chris McKee, executive vice-president, marketing and sales. "Our first mission is to get the most popular and familiar tastes back into the pantries and lunch boxes of Drake's loyal fans."
The formulation and packaging remain the same with the addition of the McKee logo. McKee also has maintained Drake's kosher certification from the Orthodox Union, indicated by the circle U symbol on cartons.
The purchase of the Drake's line is the biggest acquisition in the 79-year history of McKee Foods and should strengthen the Collegedale, TN, bakery's Northeast presence.

Missing Vaccinations
Hello everyone. I certainly hope that I will be able to get some advice regarding my situation with my daughter's vaccinations.
My daughter will be 10 months old at the end of the month and we missed both her 4 and 6 month shots. I was not made aware that she required one at 6 months (I thought that it was at 1 year) and she was teething at the time of the 4 month shot and we were both cranky and tired at that point and so I therefore decided we would hold off a bit, especially since her first shots at 2 months affected her for 2 weeks. Now i'm wondering, since we are 2 sets behind, and she will be due for another set at 1 year, would she receive all at once (I certainly hope not) or would they be spread out? Thank you for your responses

I would think they would spread them out and in fact I would suggest that especially if she has had reactions to them in the past.
I know that I have waited on certain vaccines because of illness or whatever and then gone in at a later date to have them done. I would contact the paeditrician and talk about your scheduling options.
I also give my boys a dose of Ibuprofin about a 1/2 hour before the appointment to help with any discomfort or soreness.
All the best!

Thanks Christie. I will certainly speak to our pediatrician about it. After her reaction to the first set, I'm arguing with myself about whether to get them at all or not. She was given ibuprofen, but it was less than 10 minutes before she received the vaccine so it wouldn't have even had time to kick in, although I'm sure that it did aid her in the nap that she had during the drive back home.

We've been discussing vaccines in depth in some other threads on the forum. Please read through these as I believe you'll find some really good information to help you make your decision about whether to continue with the vaccinations or not. Personally, we haven't done any routine vaccinations. We made a choice to give two of our children one vaccine, and one child another vaccines, but three of our children haven't had any vaccines at all. For us, the risks of serious vaccine reaction outweighed the benefits.
29th March 2012 11:41 PM #5
Yes I too think it's important to fully research each vaccine offered to your child: you need to weigh up the risks of side-effects from the vaccine against the risks (and likelihood) of your child being infected with the disease in question.
Many parents also choose to have vaccines given to their children as single vaccines. So many are combined these days (e.g. MMR) in addition to more than one vaccine being offered at once.
I hope this helps you to make your decision. Remember, it is your choice and you can take your time in making the decision.
Best wishes,

FOS11 has joined with the Defense Research Institute (DRI) in support of bills pending in congress to extend the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act to December 31, 2007 and establish a working group or commission where all the stakeholders can debate the role that insurance can and should play in deterring terrorist attacks and paying for their consequences. As Ron Robinson of DRI has put it:
"Terrorism seeks to destroy life and property, to erode one's sense of security and to govern by fear, not free choice. Insurance seeks to protect life and property, to preserve one's sense of security and to provide choice free from fear. Thus, insurance can play a unique and essential role in the war against terrorism simply by accepting a transfer of the risk terrorists present to us all."
The committees in the House and Senate considering the extension will be acting in the coming days and your support for the extension is important. Please take the time to visit the Defense Research Institute's website and complete the petition you will find there and, better yet, fax a letter using the information provided. For more information about the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act and the letters Don Goodrich, FOS11 Board Chairman, has sent to the Senate and House of Representatives go to the FOS11 website. Feel free to extract from Don Goodrich's letters any language with which you agree.
Families of September 11 (FOS11) membership is free and open to all 9/11 families, survivors, first responders, and others interested in supporting our mission. Please forward this email to those who you think might like to participate. To register as a member of FOS11, please visit:https://www.familiesofseptember11.org/register.aspx

London • Carmaker Ford announced Thursday it will cut 1,500 jobs in Britain, closing a plant and eliminating a stamping and tooling facility, as it warned that losses in Europe will exceed $1.5 billion this year.
Ford Motor Co., which on Wednesday announced the closure of another plant in Brussels, is struggling in Europe. Sales are down as the region's economic crisis hurts demand from households and businesses.
Ford said its transit van plant in Southampton would be closed in July and the stamping and tooling facility in east London would shut sometime in 2013. Transit van production will be consolidated at the plant in Kocaeli, Turkey.
The Southampton plant, which employed 500 workers, was Ford's last vehicle assembly plant in Britain. Production has fallen from 66,000 in 2008 to 28,000 last year, when the work was reduced to a single shift.
Ford now has 11,500 workers at plants in Britain, the Unite union said.
Ford promised further investments at the Dagenham plant in east London to support production of a new 20-litre, four-cylinder low-CO2 diesel engine family, and at the Bridgend plant in Wales to support gasoline engine manufacturing.
"Investing in what we do best here in the U.K., and building on our strengths is the only way to deal decisively with the new economic reality in Europe, and help build a profitable business," said Joe Greenwell, chairman of Ford of Britain.
Len McCluskey, general secretary of the Unite union, said workers would fight against the closures.
"This announcement has been handled disgracefully," McCluskey said "Only a few months ago Ford was promising staff a new transit model for Southampton in 2014."
Closing the Belgian and British plants reduces vehicle assembly capacity, excluding Russia, by 18 percent, or 355,000 units, yielding annual savings of at least $450 million, Ford said.
Ford's sales were down 14.9 percent in September compared with a year ago, worse than the 10.8 percent fall for all European vehicle brands, according to Acea, the European carmakers' association.

Contact: Steve Hoffman (202) 219-1805
WASHINGTON – U.S. General Services Administration Acting Administrator David Bibb today named Leslie Angus Nicholson as the General Counsel of GSA, effective June 9, 2008.
"GSA has gained an important and highly qualified senior executive in Mr. Nicholson," Bibb said. "His background and experience make him uniquely qualified to fill this critical position, and I look forward to working closely with him."
Prior to joining GSA, Nicholson was the President and Chief Executive Officer for Kenwood Capital, LLC, located in Washington, DC.

Nicholson said, "I appreciate both the opportunity to serve the public and President Bush as well as the honor of being asked to join the outstanding team at GSA. Everyone who works for, or with, the federal government understands the vital role played by GSA in providing quality government services throughout the country."
The GSA General Counsel is the chief legal officer of the agency and is responsible for legally sound implementation of GSA's mission responsibilities nationwide. Assisting the General Counsel in managing the Office are three Associate General Counsels who serve as division chiefs in Central Office.
Nicholson received his B.A. from Louisiana State University, and his law degree from Vanderbilt University's School of Law in Nashville, Tennessee.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

Eugene Grasset Biography
Eugene Grasset was born in Lausanne, Switzerland and studied architecture in Zurich. He even started working for an architect, but in 1871 moved to Paris and embarked on a career in art. He dabbled in all aspects of it: metal, ceramics, furniture design, windows, jewelry, tapestry. In 1877, he became interested in color lithography and illustrative techniques, and again went for a whole gamut of the subject: magazine covers, decorative panels, book illustration, cards, postage stamps, typography, book design. On the side, he entered a contest for the design of a fountain, did a mosaic for a church, and designed the interior of the Chat Noir cabaret. In posters, he affects a formalistic, classic approach, often with something of a medieval symbolism faintly present.
Grasset was an apostle of the decorative trend in art, and is often credited with giving a major impetus to the style which was eventually called art nouveau. His creed was the democratization of art in all its expressions, and to this end he worked tirelessly, teaching (and, in the view of some, preaching) his conviction to everyone he could reach. He taught decorative painting at the Ecole Guerin, and wrote several authoritative books which belong among the bibles of art nouveau: "La Plante et ses Applications Ornementales" (1898-9) and "La Methode de Composition Ornementale" (1905) are two of the most important ones. He even had a type face he designed named after him. ("Posters of the Belle Epoque" by Jack Rennert)
Eugene Grasset (1845-1917) is the poster child for the classic style. Born in Switzerland, he did it all. Beginning as an architect, he moved to Paris and became an artist of all trades. He worked with fabrics, tapestry, jewelry, and ceramics, and then went on to design magazine covers, illustrate books, and create postage stamps. In the midst of these activities, he designed the interior of the Chat Noir cabaret and created a mosaic for a church.
Formality, romanticism and medieval influences prevail through all of his work. He was a strong supporter of the decorative arts has been credited for being the advance man for Art Nouveau.

Tornados fall on the road to Tennessee Wesleyan, 79-74November 24, 2009
Winn records third double-double of the season in the loss
Athens, Tenn. - Samantha Winn notched her third double-double of the season with an 18 point, 11 rebound performance, but a desperation three-pointer by Ashton Burrell and a 9-4 run to close out the overtime period gave the Lady Bulldogs the victory, 79-74.
Winn led four Brevard (1-3) players in double figures as Brianna Worley had 16 points, going 4-5 from behind the arc, while Anna Schlobohm had 13 points to go with eight rebounds and four assists and Holli Flippo had 10 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
The Tornados went 27-65 (41.5 percent) from the floor in the game, but 23 turnovers proved to be their undoing as Brevard falls for the third time on the road this season.
TWC (5-2) was led by Lindsey Jackson with 21 points, connecting six times from behind the arc. Ragan Elliot had a double-double for the Lady Bulldogs with 11 points and 11 rebounds, while Amy Jo Castor had 13 points. Katie Blevins set up the attack with 12 points and six assists.
Tennessee Wesleyan came out firing to start the game, with 16 of their 38 shots in the opening half coming from behind the arc. With the three-point attack, the Lady Bulldogs were able to build a 15-5 lead less than 10 minutes into the game as three different TWC players connected from distance.
The Tornados battled back behind the duo of senior forward Samantha Winn and sophomore forward Lindsay Brendle as the two combined for 15 points and nine rebounds in the first half. Brevard brought the game back within three points at 25-22 as Winn hit a three-pointer with 2:39 remaining in the opening half.
