V & M Hula Bug 8pk - $3.99
The V & M Hula Bug combines the prominent features of several proven baits to create a deadly presentation all its own. Its beaver-style body provides easy rigging and a beefy but streamlined profile perfect for penetrating cover. It also features the tail tentacles of a tube, as well as, small craw-like appendages for additional fish attracting action. Available in several colors, throw the V & M Hula Bug out there and hold on.
Length | Quantity |
4" | 8 |
Comments: These look exactly like something Bass Pro sells under their own label. I have used their version and had good results. This cross between a beaver and tube tail has good stability (reduces line twist)which allows it to glide along as you hop it. I throw it on a 4/0 Trokar swimbait hook with 1/8oz. bullet. It gives them something a little different to check over.

In 2005 St. John's University held a Presidential Summit, "How Do You Know if Your Students Are Learning?" The summit was led by Dr. Barbara E. Walvoord, a nationally recognized scholar on assessment.* At that time Walvoord discussed the degree to which assessment had become a national reform movement, fueled in part by calls for higher education to be more accountable for its learning standards, as well as increased scrutiny by college students and their families when selecting colleges. In the years since her visit to St. John's, the assessment movement has only increased.
Because of the growing importance of assessment in higher education, we find it necessary to provide chairs, faculty, and administrators with an introductory overview about this admittedly weighty and sometimes overwhelming term. We realize that the emphasis on assessment in education has surged in the last two decades, and that faculty and administrators who have not had the time to fully explore assessment theory or practice might benefit from some contextualization. As you go through these pages, please keep two things in mind:
These "Unpacking Assessment" pages are intended as a living document. While originally posted by the Office of the Provost, we invite faculty, administration, and students to submit suggestions for revision as well as new information. Ultimately these pages should reflect the collaborative spirit of assessment. Please direct any suggestions, questions, or additional text to be considered to Derek Owens, Vice Provost.
Part 1: A Three-Way Dialogue
A brief introduction to the growing culture of assessment, which at its core is a three-way dialogue among students, faculty, and administration.
Part 2: Understanding and Addressing Initial Resistance to Assessment
The culture of assessment in education is, historically speaking, relatively new. It's understandable that students, faculty, and administrators can initially respond to the "assessment wave" with varying degrees of confusion and skepticism.
Part 3: Genres of Assessment
"Assessment" is really a general term that refers to a wide variety of different assessment methodologies. This section emphasizes four realms of assessment.
Part 4: Department and Faculty Responsibilities
This brief section points to two ways faculty in departments can further enhance both ongoing assessment initiatives, as well as showcase them online.
Part 5: WEAVE
This section offers a short overview of WEAVE, the mechanism by which our University regularly collects and archives all assessment plans and projects.
Part 6: Electronic Portfolios
This section offers a quick overview of our recent inclusion of electronic portfolios, or eportfolios, within the University. (As we expand our work with eportfolios, watch for further pages devoted to this topic.)
Part 7: Getting on the Same Page: A Department Discovers and Defines its Values
This section introduces departments to the importance of taking the time to bring faculty together over multiple sessions in order to identify the collective values of the department.
Part 8: Models of Assessment
This section offers a partial overview of direct and indirect assessment strategies.
* We highly recommend Walvoord's succinct and very accessible book, Assessment Clear and Simple: A Practical Guide for Institutions, Departments, and General Education (2nd ed., Jossey-Bass 2010).

In his blog, Phipps describes how he joined Sun via Java One in 2000. Which means he's leaving the company shortly before his tenth anniversary.
While reviewing his successes at Sun, Phipps also expresses regret that despite all he achieved, it was not enough to save Sun. As to his future? Phipps is undecided and as he writes in his blog, is not sure of the direction he should now take.

Striking When the Iron is ColdCorporate Counsel 2013-02-01 00:00:00.0 For years, Royal Dutch Shell and environmental groups have been locked in an almost ritualized dance of litigation. Step-by-step, Shell has won federal approval for plans to drill for oil in the Arctic Ocean. And at each turn, conservationists have protested that the permits are improper and sued the government to block them. But last year, with permits finally in hand to drill the first exploratory wells in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas on the Alaskan Outer Continental Shelf, Shell didn't wait for what it called the "virtual certainty" of an 11th-hour suit to derail its plans. Instead, it launched a preemptive strike, filing three suits against 13 environmental groups and asking the court to pronounce the permits valid up front. It's an unprecedented move. And if it succeeds, lawyers say it could turn administrative litigation on its head, unleashing a flood of suits seeking court approval of agency actions before they're even challenged. And so far, Shell's tactic is working. In June an Alaska federal judge, Ralph Beistline, refused to dismiss the first complaint, ruling in an issue of first impression that if the environmental groups can sue to block the permits, then it "stands to reason" that Shell ought to be able to sue to uphold them. The environmental groups are appalled. They've asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to take the rare step of reviewing a district court order while the lower court case is ongoing. "These cases are an improper use of the judicial system," says Michael LeVine, who is a senior counsel for Oceana, one of the groups being sued. "Shell has tried to do an end run around the proper procedure, and has effectively sought to use the courts to penalize public interest organizations for participating in public processes regarding ocean resources." It all began in 2008, when Shell paid the U.S. Department of the Interior $2 billion for oil and gas leases in the Chukchi Sea, on top of the $74 million it had paid for development rights in Beaufort's Camden Bay. The company has spent close to $3 billion more on project planning and execution, and has yet to pump a drop of oil. Winning regulatory approval to drill has been one of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of the project. In court papers, Shell puts much of the blame on the environmental groups. Acting alone or in combination, conservationists have filed four suits objecting to air permits awarded to Shell; four suits opposing Shell's exploration plans; and eight others. Some are ongoing, others have been dismissed. In February 2012 the Interior Department approved Shell's Chukchi Sea oil spill response plan. The following month the government gave Shell's Beaufort spill plan a green light. The approvals "permit Shell to proceed with its exploration activities," according to Shell's complaint. Poised at last to begin drilling, Shell and its lawyers sued the 13 organizations in federal district court in Alaska. They asked the court to issue a broad declaratory judgment that its oil spill response plans are valid and comply with relevant laws. The environmental groups seemed almost flabbergasted. "Apparently unsatisfied with the process Congress provided for judicial review of agency action, Shell now asks this court to disregard those requirementsand to exceed its jurisdictionfor the sake of Shell's convenience," reads the first sentence of their motion to dismiss, filed by Keker & Van Nest partner Rachael Meny. The oil company has "asked this court to ignore all jurisdictional and procedural requirements simply because Shell wants to begin drilling quickly," Meny's motion states. The fundamental problem, Meny argued, is that Shell doesn't face any liability over the validity of its oil spill response plans. The Department of the Interior is the one on the hook, and that's the party the environmental groups would sue. "Shell's suit is, at its core, an attempt to obtain an advisory opinion about the outcome of hypothetical litigation," she wrote. But Beistline didn't buy it. He denied the motion to dismiss, reasoning that Shell has standing because, if the environmental groups successfully challenged Shell's permits, that "would constitute an injury-in-fact to Shell." Shortly after his decision, 10 of the environmental groups did indeed sue the government in a bid to invalidate Shell's oil spill response plans. They also asked Beistline to certify his order for an immediate review by the Ninth Circuit. In September he agreedgrudgingly. "The court understands that the Ninth Circuit is without controlling precedent concerning the instant matter," he wrote. But in bold type, he also stated that he did not personally believe "exceptional circumstances" exist to merit such a review. At press time the Ninth Circuit had not yet said whether it would review the order. Shell lawyers argue that there is little reason to do so, since the suit challenging the permits has been consolidated with their bid for a declaratory judgment. Regardless, the lower court will review Shell's oil spill plans. Still, there is the question of precedent. Baker & Hostetler partner Christopher Marraro, who is not involved in the case, says that the decision, if it stands, could "have great utility in the energy project area," where litigation risk plays a large role in the decision to finance projects. |

He then completed his graduate degree at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). His graduate training included a specialized fellowship in public health where his research focused on environmental health and health-care delivery and management. Medical Editor:

What are different levels of snoring?Mild resistance to airflow for any of the above reasons in the upper airways may result in some snoring that is not associated with any sleep disturbance. If resistance to airflow increases, the efforts to maintain adequate ventilation and breathing may cause transient arousal from sleep that is typically not severe enough to cause the level of oxygen in the blood to decrease (hypoxia). This is called the upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS). When the resistance increases even further, the ventilatory efforts cannot keep up with the degree of resistance to maintain adequate levels of oxygen. This causes a decrease in the level of oxygen in the blood. As a result, arousals are more frequent, and sleep becomes more fragmented. This is termed obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. How should someone with snoring be evaluated?To thoroughly evaluate someone with a snoring problem, it is important to also talk to that person's bed partner or family members. A complete history and physical examination is often performed. In addition, more detail about their snoring and sleep problems needs to be obtained. The patients may be asked about their sleep pattern and sleep hygiene, daytime symptoms of sleepiness, daytime napping, and frequency of awakening at night. A thorough physical examination may also be performed including assessing the patient's body weight and body mass index (BMI), assessment of the neck circumference (area around the neck), and visualization of the throat, nasal, and oral cavities to determine how narrow the oral and nasal passages are. How is it determined if snoring is a medical problem?People who sleep (or lie awake not sleeping) near a snorer often report signs that may indicate a more serious problem. Witnessed apnea (stopping breathing) or gasping can suggest a breathing problem like sleep apnea (see below) or heart problems. Leg kicking or other jerking movements can indicate a problem such as periodic limb movement disorder or restless leg syndrome. Referral to a sleep specialist may be recommended if obstructive sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and periodic limb movement disorder are suspected. If someone's sleep is disrupted because of snoring, the person may also notice other symptoms. Frequently, people complain of difficulty waking up in the morning or a feeling of insufficient sleep. They may take daytime naps or fall asleep during meetings. If sleep disruption is severe, people have fallen asleep while driving or performing their daily work. Daytime sleepiness can be estimated with a sleepiness inventory, and a sleep study can be performed if a sleeping problem is suspected. There are two general types of sleep studies:
Home sleep study A home (unattended) sleep study can measure some basic parameters of sleep and breathing. Often, it will include pulse oximetry (a measurement of the level of oxygen in the blood), a record of movement, snoring, and apneic (stop in breathing) events. A home study can prove that there are no sleeping problems or suggest that there may be a problem. If a home sleep study suggests a problem, a full sleep study (polysomnography) often is performed in a clinic. (For a complete description of sleep studies, see below). If the sleepiness inventory and sleep study suggest there are no sleeping or breathing disorders, a person is diagnosed with primary snoring. Treatment options then can be discussed. Epworth Sleepiness Scale The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a "test" based on a patient's own report that establishes the severity of sleepiness. A person rates the likelihood of falling asleep during specific activities. Using the scale from 0-3 below, patients rank their risk of dozing in the chart below. (This chart can be printed out and taken to the doctor.)
After ranking each category, the total score is calculated. The range is 0-24, with the higher the score the more sleepiness. Scoring:
Breaking it down further, excessive daytime sleepiness is greater than 10. Primary snorers usually have a score less than 10, and individuals with moderate to severe sleep apnea usually have a score greater than 16. (One woman filled out the sleepiness scale and had a low score. Sitting in the physician's office, however, she was falling asleep while waiting. The physician asked her why her score was so low. She replied, "I don't ever read books, watch TV, or ride in a car, so the likelihood that I would fall asleep doing those things is very low." ) Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

Top Teachers: Philip Riddle
Brookland M.S., sixth grade
As a child, Philip Riddle noticed that many of the adults he knew spoke of work as if it were a burden. At the same time, he noticed that many of his teachers relished their jobs – radiating joy in the way that they interacted with students, presented subject matter and provided extra help to those who needed it. "I just could not imagine waking up every day to go to a job that I did not find joy in," Riddle recalled. "I knew that if I was going to devote a career to something, it had to be something I was passionate about. "And I learned very early on that it was easy to be passionate about teaching." Today, parents at Brookland Middle School have noticed that Riddle radiates that same joy with his sixth-graders. They cited his contagious, "extremely happy, pleasant-to-have-around" nature, the "can-do" spirit he encourages in his students and the fairness and integrity he models in the classroom. One student was so taken by Riddle's fresh, open style that he came home from his first day of school and announced his plans to become a history professor. But parents add that career choices are not all that Riddle has inspired. He challenges students to become lifelong learners and to make a difference in the world through leadership and service to the community. Knowing that most of his students will not go on to careers in social studies, Riddle works hard to present the curriculum in a way that engages every student – whether by having the students read together and pose questions, or by sharing stories and interactive sites that will intrigue them. "A certain percentage of students just love social studies and would look forward to my class even if I just stood up and lectured every day," Riddle acknowledged. "But all students deserve a better experience than that. Lessons that are engaging challenge students to think critically . . . [and help them] draw connections between what has happened in the past and what is taking place in their world." As rewarding as classroom teaching may be, however, Riddle said that the most meaningful parts of his day are moments in which he can talk to students one on one. Not only, he said, do these times allow for individualized feedback and instruction, but they also give students a chance to talk about concerns outside of the classroom. "Students need to know that your priority is them," said Riddle. "And I cannot confine that concern only to what happens in the classroom." Unfortunately, busy school-day schedules make it difficult to provide enough valuable one-on-one time, and even the best, most passionate teachers can't do it all themselves. A supportive community is crucial to a good school system, believes Riddle, who noted that citizens who volunteer their time and resources are always welcome. After all, he said, "A world class education for all students provides benefits for everyone – not just the children who attend our schools." |

The third book I read from my reading list is Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. The story follows 42 third year students in an alternate Japan (where all of east Asia (expect Korea) is a whole country) as they are forced to battle each other to the death by law of a "Program". Even though the story does follow all of the students, it focuses mainly on 3, which are Shuya Nanahara, Noriko Nakagawa, and Shodo Kawada.
I will try my best not to spoil the book too much.
The book starts out with 42 students on a bus thinking they're going to a school field trip, only to be gassed, and taken to an undisclosed island. When they all wake up, they discover metal bands around their necks that monitor their vital signs, and also have explosives in them. After the government unleashes them onto the island, it's a free-for-all death match.
Some students team up together (like the 3 main characters), other go about the whole game alone. There's two characters who are playing the game hardcore though. One, you will learn, who has died inside along time ago, and one who never had feelings. The latter one will actually go almost to the end of the book surviving ridiculous amounts of situations that would obviously kill any normal person.
The book is very good though, but most people who read it don't really get the message behind it. The book is supposed to be a long metaphor about what it's like when a person leaves school to go into the real world. Obviously, we don't kill each other in real life, but the killings signify us as humans competing (and often berating) each other to get on top; to be leader of the pack. There are backstabbers and cheaters and liars in real life. The character who survives an insane amount of situations signifies the person who you will eventually have to compete against; like the boss battle in a video game.
I personally love this book, and I recommend it everyone who has a high tolerance of blood and gore. I give this book 5 stars: *****
Book number three I'm reading from my reading list. It's Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. The book inspired a movie by the same name that I saw many a year ago. I heard the book was better than the movie (which I recommend, even though it is Japanese with english subtitles). Although the book is pretty thick, I thought since I'm not working much for the next three weeks I could go ahead and read this and Under the Dome, seeing as how I don't know when I'll have this much time again. My review for Oogy by Larry Levin will be tomorrow at 4pm central time.

We stated at Trinity for three nights in June 2013. While the neighbourhood isn't exactly great, the location is pretty convenient with both the metro... station and the colosseum being walking distance. The rooms are spacious and are equipped with all the basic amenities required. Being a bread & breakfast, there is no reception as such, but the owner Agapi is extremely helpful and responsive. by Rashmi from India on 16/06/2013

My Walter Honsinger's family is from the thumb of Michigan and is definitely buried at Andersonville. I visited there last summer. He was in the 2nd Michigan Infantry, I believe. |

I just checked it out and, indeed, he was in the Michigan 7th Cavalry, died 7/17/1864. Perhaps the two were cousins or somehow related. |

No, I think you have a mystery here with Walter Honsinger...below is the list of Honsingers that served in MI units... 1 Honsinger, Philip Union 1st Regiment, Engineers and Mechanics, Michigan 2 Honsinger, Preston Union 7th Regiment, Michigan Cavalry 3 Honsinger, Walter L. Union 7th Regiment, Michigan Cavalry 4 Honsinger, William Union 4th Regiment, Michigan Infantry (2nd organization) I guess Preston and Walter are related.... Below is the man buried at Andersonville and back in Michigan.... Honsinger, Walter I. 7th Cavalry, Company C #3483 Honsinger, Walter L, b. 15 May 1841, d. 16 Jul 1864 at Andersonville Prison It is the same man I would wager on....I bet the I instead of an L for middle initial is human error along with you having a death date being one day off.... The mystery is which grave is Walter's remains in? I guess the grave in GA. is empty......or Walter's family got the wrong remains returned to them.... Enjoy your mystery.... |

Transforming Practices to Learning: Four European projects team up to ignite synergy in the field of learning
The European Distance and E-learning Network (EDEN) are hosting the SYNERGY Workshop – Transnational Learning Forum for Exchanging Practices and Ideas, which takes place on 19-21 October 2013 in Budapest, Hungary at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE).
The workshop is the result of the collaboration of 4 European Projects: eLene2learn, DigiSkills, POERUP and Open Discovery Space. It is for stakeholders representing (secondary) school level education in the following themes: (i) ICT and digital media use in primary and secondary education; (ii) Developing and improving learning to learn competences; (iii) Learner support (with the use of ICT); (iv) Open Educational Resources and their use in education; (v) ICT enhanced language teaching and learning; (vi) Teacher training (communities of practice).
The Synergy Workshop, as its title suggests, will be focusing on:
- The identification of basic points of synergy (meaning overlapping areas of activity and targeted goals and objectives) amongst a broad palette of presenting initiatives (including EU funded projects and national or institutional cases/practices)
- The elaboration of future collaboration plans based on these points.
To maximise the potential for effective collaboration, the event is free. The workshop programme aims to provide a platform for semi-informal, so-called "Project Fairground" activities. During a number of dedicated sessions (divided into 4 specific fora based on the most popular themes) all the project promoters can briefly introduce themselves and their "products and goods" and then talk and interact with each other at will. We will support the event by using ICT, most importantly by webcasting.

International Council for Open Research and Education (ICORE) to be launched in Rome
The International Council for Open Research and Education (ICORE) is a new association bringing together interested experts and stakeholders from the fields of open education and open research. The association will be officially launched on May 16 in Rome (Italy) during the Learning Innovations and Technology (LINQ 2013) conference.
ICORE is a non-profit and requires no membership fees to join. Open to both representatives of organisations as well as individuals, it aims to promote open research and open education as a fundamental social objective. This promotion of these goals will be accomplished through the fostering of collaboration between relevant stakeholders in open research and education, such as national, European and international policy makers, researchers, educators of all levels, students, non-profit educational providers as well as commercial educational providers, among others.
The association's activities will include the administration of an online community portal for information exchange, the organisation of scientific and educational events (conferences, summer schools, etc.) and the establishment of creative partnerships between ICORE members to advance open research and open education internationally.
Interested applicants can register easily at the ICORE website, where the complete first public draft of the association's statutes can also be found. Joining before the first official meeting of ICORE on May 15 allows new members to be recognized as co-founders.

Why Moms Don't Want to Talk
A recent study found that 30% of Millennial moms prefer to text their partners rather than talk to them on the phone. Cue the hang wringing about our loss of humanity. But I actually think that these moments keep me connected to my husband and my friends in ways that wouldn't be possible with small children. Ever tried to have a meaningful phone conversation while watching an infant and a two-year-old? Cold fusion is easier than that.

I'm sure this goes without saying, especially for the educated people of EAC, but definitely exercise caution when purchasing a low grade 1799 Cent in a slab. Here is an example I recently found listed in a dealer's online inventory for almost $4K...
Pretty obviously a 1798 S-166. Not sure if this was an actual misattribution or just a typo, but it's still a bit disconcerting to see this kind of oversight on a high value coin.
P.S. I did contact the dealer and inform them of the mistake and asked that the coin be taken down.

APUP, File Not Found
Posted 31 October 2007 - 05:53 PM
Could you briefly discribe the proper steps to running apup.exe. In the comments page we were posting too, there was a suggestion that it was best to delete *.scripts before running apup.exe. Was this to force apup to download new script files? Do the APM files come from autopatcher.com or microsoft?
I just attempted to run apup but got a "file not found" KB939653_xp_x86_enu.apm.
I've noticed that when apup can't find the KB??????_xp_x86_enu.exe file and the corresponding .APM file and APM folder exists, I can manually DL the needed hotfix from MS and place it in the APM folder. If I run apup again, it simply moves on past the one I copied. If it doesn't hit another file not found situation, it finishes.
So far apup has successfully downloaded all of the Office 2003 updates. I only lack about 10Mb to get finish the XP Oct script. That is the one with the most file not found problems. Not a complaint! I just wanted to report my observations.
Great work AP team.
Posted 31 October 2007 - 06:45 PM
thanks. We are glad to have the forum online again. It was a bit hard to get things done only with Wordpress.
About apup.exe (AutoPatcher Updater), what the tool does is connect to our server, checks the file that has the list of all the releases, and downloads all of them (they are small - about 100 to 200 kbs each).
The .apm files come from our server, and the .exe files (the hotfixes) come directly from Microsoft.
About the "File not Found" problem, we are looking for the problem. We are also going to introduce some changes in the next build (also pre-beta), and that will hopefully solve the problem.
Stay tuned, we are back and have been doing work in the background, even thought it's not visible.

just some thoughts...
It somehow seems to me as if the only problem was that the files that APUP requests do not currently exist on the webserver. So, IMHO the easiest way of fixing this error would be just to place the files on the webserver or at least remove them from the update-lists that APUP downloads when it is started.
No changes to the program code (which seems to work reasonably fine when all the needed files exist in the web) would be required - at least not to fix this particular issue.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Great utility - keep up the excellent work! You guys absolutely rock!
I too am experiencing this 'file not found' error on APUP, fetching KB923810_xp_x86_enu.apm, and however I try to manually download it, it is just not there - I tried Flashget and my browser.
I can get hold of the KB###### file from M$, but not the .apm file from AP. I am using the details from the autopatcher_xp_x86_enu_oct07.script file that APUP pulled down during my latest update session - I believe that APUP would be using this too?
The funny thing is that the other .apms are downloadable using their respective paths in the script file through Flashget.
If we could download these .apm files for now then we could at least get past the respective errors - perhaps the is a repository for these .apms?
Here are my findings for this error if they can be of use:

@ Cyrus: I've uploaded the file, it should be ok now.
Posted 10 November 2007 - 01:49 PM
I use this excellent kind of UPDATER for my work (technical support).
It's very difficult to wait to download all updates from MS site or in other words I preffer to use AutoPatcher (I use it from the early begining of th project) and it helps me alot and spend me a lot of time.
Sometimes I can't have an Internet connection and it's very difficult to make an a copy of all MS Updates and keep it in one place and of course the tunning is not implemented in MS Updates.
For many reasons I'm looking forward for an alternative type of SILENT Updater for the machines that I maintain and this is my favorite toll an a AutoPatcher because it's ported to MS 2K,XP,2K3 and Office XP,2K3,2K7 so no other product in INTERNET cannot give me this. Please keep it this good work and of course I thing that donationware is the best way to distribute the product.
Thanks again.
Best regards:
Ernesto Bonev Reynoso
TechEd and Support
P.S. May be Antonis will implement the option to download future updates via USERNAME and PASSWORD in APOP based on forum registration USERNAME and PASSWORD. This will be good way to distribute the product.
Another project that will be interested to technicians like me is: http://driverpacks.net/ may be in the future we will have the oportunity to have AiO pack (monthly) for Updates based on MS OS and of course the drivers.
Another crazy thing it's to redistribute AutoPatcher like an a torrent or similar P2P so this who are interested will maintain the sources alive.
For this who are interested I'll upload the latest AutoPatcher release AUGUST for all MS OS if Antonis and AutoPatcher Team are agreee to make an a mirror of their great product!
I can provide only a file mirror so if someone from the team is interested I'll glad to help.
So what I have:
AutoPatcher DirectX Jun07 x64 Addon.exe
AutoPatcher DirectX Jun07 x86 Addon.exe
AutoPatcher Extras Jul07 x86 Addon.exe
AutoPatcher WinXP MCE2005 May07 x86 Addon.exe
AutoPatcher WinXP WMP10 May07 x86 Addon.exe
AutoPatcher Win2K3 Jul07 x86 Update.exe
AutoPatcher Win2K3 Jun07 x86 Update.exe
AutoPatcher Win2K3 May07 x86 Core.exe
AutoPatcher Win2KSP4 Jul07 x86 Update.exe
AutoPatcher Win2KSP4 Jun07 x86 Update.exe
AutoPatcher Win2KSP4 May07 x86 Core.exe
AutoPatcher WinVista Jul07 Core.exe
AutoPatcher WinX64 Jul07 Core.exe
AutoPatcher WinXPSP2 Jul07 x86 Update.exe
AutoPatcher WinXPSP2 Jun07 x86 Update.exe
AutoPatcher WinXPSP2 May07 x86 Core.exe
This is what I have and what I can UPLOAD in my server.
I'm still waiting for future releases like AutoPatcher Octomber or November or may be an AutoPatcher Christmas Release will be good!

Most of the students and faculty at St. John's University were gone from campus this summer but that doesn't mean the Public Safety Department was on vacation. Their efforts to assist and safeguard the St. John's community continue uninterrupted.
Photo Gallery "Our work is really never done," says Vice President of Public Safety Thomas Lawrence. "No matter the time of year, and even when most of the campus community is gone, we're still patrolling, we're training, we're responding to requests for assistance and keeping the St. John's community and campuses safe." Vice President Lawrence reports that this summer Public Safety is again reassessing emergency preparedness at St. John's. "We recently did a tabletop exercise on the Queens campus with FDNY in which they set the scenario—a chemical spill and fire in a University building—and we walked ourselves through our response to the incident. A lot came out of that—FDNY became familiarized with our campus and we forged a better relationship with them. These relationships are important since an actual emergency is not the time for first responders to be introducing themselves to each other." One of the outcomes of the tabletop exercise was the decision to create a concise description of each campus building to include information needed by first responders, such as the location of fire hydrants, standpipes, stairwells, etc. Building-specific information will be provided to first responders when they arrive on campus. In addition, Colleen Greaney, Ph.D., the University's Director of Environmental Health & Safety, has compiled a list of all chemicals stored in each room in St. Albert Hall for use by first responders. Two additional items that came to light during the tabletop exercise involved the importance of communication during an emergency. Although Public Safety already uses several methods to communicate during an emergency, they decided to look into satellite phones as another communications tool. "Because local telephone systems—whether land or cellular—can cease to operate during an emergency, satellite phones can be a vital means of communication both on one campus and with our other campuses, including Rome and Paris," the Public Safety Vice President explains. He says that a number of satellite phones could be made available for use by Public Safety and University leaders in a crisis situation. The need to communicate directly with FDNY during the campus emergency also became apparent. In the past, the department had to communicate additional information via 911. To enhance this communication, Public Safety has supplied FDNY with the same portable radios used by St. John's personnel so immediate communication can occur during an emergency. A month after the tabletop exercise, a full-blown exercise in St. Albert Hall, took place on August 1. At that time, FDNY and St. John's personnel reacted to multiple situations and scenarios that could arise during a real fire. "The exercise," Vice President Lawrence explains, "further enhances our planning and ability to respond to emergencies on campus."Training Continues As part of the Department's semi-annual training program, Public Safety officers from the Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan campuses received training on "Drug Packaging and Identification." This was, says Public Safety's Lt. Ralph Pascullo, "extremely informative for our officers in view of the latest 'Designer drugs' and date rape products." This training, which was specifically requested by the officers, was presented by agents from the New York State Drug Enforcement Agency. Lt. Pascullo also provided the officers with the New York State-mandated training curriculum on Legal Powers and Limitations of a Security Guard, and Arrest and Use of Force Laws, followed by a review of New York State test for public safety officers and the actual test itself. Additional training on Red Cross Disaster Response, the Americans with Disabilities Act and Hazardous Materials/OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) was also included. A Fire Safety lecture was also presented by Robert Gleason, the University's Fire Safety Director. The public safety officers also had the opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session with the Department's leaders. Lt. Pascullo points out that "the Q & A time spent with some members of the department dispels any false rumors and lets everyone know what is going on behind the scenes." "This is a very valuable component of our training, Vice President Lawrence notes. "Often issues come up that might not otherwise be addressed in a specific training session. When this happens, we share that question and our response in other sessions so that everyone benefits from the exchange."Safety Activities on Branch Campuses Too A joint exercise with the American Red Cross and Public Safety took place on the Staten Island campus. Arranged by Assistant Vice President McEnerney, the exercise consisted of the Red Cross responding to campus and, with the assistance of Public Safety, opening and utilizing the emergency supplies in the Red Cross storage container on campus. While intended for use in the local community during an emergency, those supplies are also available to St. John's if needed. (The Queens campus also has a container with supplies.) And since St. John's has "gone global," the Public Safety Department has too. They now have the added responsibility for safety and security at both the Rome and Paris campuses. Periodic safety and security reviews and visits to both occur throughout the year. Recently, Public Safety joined with Rome campus administrators in a tabletop exercise created by Assistant Vice President McEnerney that tested communication between continents during an emergency. Now that summer is nearing an end and students and faculty are beginning to return, activities on St. John's campuses will pick up dramatically. Students and faculty can be assured that their safety and security remain in the hands of a competent, professional and well trained Public Safety Department.
