PLOT : Read Gales history it explains the plot
Gales Adult form -
Gales puppy form -
Hearing: Gale's sense of hearing is outrageously good, able to hear trouble from 30 miles away this hound has better hearing then most hounds. Gales hearing has helped him and Phobos many times.
Claws: Gales has outrageously large, sharp claws, mostly like needles these claws rip through godly armor, monster's flesh and demigod's bones. Gale's claws are six inches long.
Bite : gales bite pressure is that of 700 pounds, able to easily break something's arm's he is outrageously hard biter, that's why Phobos was having the hardest time trying to find a bone Gales couldn't bite through. Something's about Gales that make him a great companion, some are his knowledge, His energy and his great fighting skills.
Knowlage: This hellhound because it has been alive for so long, had a god for a master knows almost anything you want to know about the god world, he knows ever god and goddess weakness only one he doesn't know is Hades, Zeus and Hecate weaknesses. Phobos and Gales have shared a lot of things make Gale able to understand a lot more than most hellhounds about Phobos, mostly people fear the god but Gales has learned that Phobos is a pretty awesome guy once you get to know him.
Energy: Gale's energy is out of this world, hellhound's are more active then dog but Gales is more active then hellhounds even. Gales as a pup drove Phobos crazy because Phobos could run the pup around and Gales wouldn't even pant, Phobos though as he trained Gales learned some ways to put that energy into good use. Gale's energy is like no other, dashing through the world at lightning speed.
Fights skills: Gales fighting skills are un-matched; thanks to Phobos teaching him much of what the hound knows. Phobos at first was trying to get Gales to fight but the hound didn't seem to watch to so Phobos started teaching him how to fight monster's away, gales soon was fighting like a pro, Phobos was proud and ever since then many hounds keep themselves a good distance from this hellhound.
Some of Gales Personalities: Intelligent, Outgoing, Loving, Understanding, Gives out advice when needed, Cares deeply for others close to him or Phobos, Determined and Humble.
History: Gales history is long and very famous to most demigods and Gods alike, Gales was only two months old when he was placed on Phobos's doorstep, Gales was fearful well because Phobos was the god of fear and also his mother wasn't there, Phobos at first didn't quite know what to do with a hellhound puppy but he decided to keep it till it grew up and then throw it out of the house, little did he know that the next thirty years would be the most interesting years of his life. Gales at first was pretty easy to take care of till he learned to walk around and get into small places Phobos couldn't get to. Phobos had the hardest time trying to find Gales, and Gales usually was in plain sight just tucked away behind some crack or something, Gales as he grew up to be ten months old started to actually bond with Phobos when Phobos was having some troubles with some demon's that had no fear gland and where attacking, Gales had killed the demon in order to keep Phobos safe, from that day on their adventure started. They went around the world and started their lives as friends, they stayed up night's talking, They fought and bled, laughed and loved together, they became very close very fast, Most minor and Olympian gods where startled that Phobos had become very close to a hellhound, at one point one of the gods wanted Hades to take the hound away in fear that Phobos might be using the hound, so hades sent Romer the father of Gales to get the hound away but what startled the gods more was Gales response to such actions, the hound had said, "I might be a hound, I might be dirt to the gods of Olympus and the minor gods of the world, but in till my soul is ripped out of my body, In till my blood has been spilled, I shall not and will not leave Phobos" Phobos was shocked at the words, Romer was enraged attacking Phobos only to be beaten by his son Gales, Romer was forced to leave the place, gales from that day on pledged that no matter what he would be there for Phobos no matter what the cost. Phobos and Gales about twenty years later started the Nightmare war, Gales being in charge of the monster's and hellhounds, Phobos was in charge of getting children to work for them, gales worked on keeping the gods away from the hide out till Demuis came to the army, Phobos and Demuis brother's kept the army in check while Gales kept the monsters and Hellhound's in check. Gales became famous as the hellhound leader, ever Demigod that stared at the hound was usually on the ground in pain. Gales though was fallowing orders he went to Ginger Light's home and snatched away Sam from his bed one night, Phobos was not happy about this but he decided to keep Sam in the army to train, gales noticed that Sam really didn't like to fight and he helped Sam learn a style of fighting that was more animalistic, Sam became an ace at close combat fighting, Phobos one day while leading an invasion meet head to head with campers, but what he didn't see was Ginger's sad eyes looking at them, feeling betrayed by the man she loved, gales did notice this and told Sam, Sam refusing to stay in the army left, but to his surprise his father left with him and Gales. Gales started helping out the Demigods, Gales and Phobos soon seemed to have vanished but they came back when Sam had died, Gales had tried to comfort Phobos, keeping the god knowing Sam still loved him as well. Gales and Phobos went through many trips around the world till the Unthinkable happened, Gales was hit by a truck, and Phobos now hysterical and crying not wanting Gales to die begged Apollo to heal but the god was unable to do anything. Gales died later that day, Phobos had shut everyone out even Ginger after the death of his closest friend till the Olympian gods demanded a meeting with Phobos, and Phobos came reluctantly, that meeting was to help Phobos cope with the death of Gales little did Phobos know it was all a trick, Phobos watched the tapes of some history of him and Gales, with shock on his face he saw in the doorway a black hound limping in, Phobos threw his arm's around the hound with joy , learning that the hound was made immortal, he wasn't made imposable to kill but only now gods could kill this hellhound. Phobos and Gales then seemed to have vanished after that, no one knows where they are now, rumors are they are enjoying their lives, other's say they are causing fear around the world other's said who cares let them be.

The Kellogg Honor Code
All students enrolled in a course offered by the Kellogg School of Management agree to abide by the Kellogg Honor Code.
The Kellogg Honor Code governs student conduct pertaining to all academic, placement, and extracurricular activities associated with the Kellogg School of Management. Each student agrees:
1. Not to seek an unfair advantage over other students, including but not limited to giving or receiving unauthorized aid during completion of academic requirements; 2. To truthfully represent fact and self at all times; 3 To respect the property and personal rights of all members of the Kellogg community; and 4. To uphold the Kellogg Honor Code by reporting all material violations, and by fully cooperating with and protecting confidentiality of any Honor Code proceedings. All Kellogg students are also expected to adhere to all policies and requirements of Northwestern University and to abide by all applicable laws and regulations.
The Honor Code Philosophy Statement The students of the Kellogg School of Management regard honesty and integrity as qualities essential to the practice and profession of management. The purpose of the Kellogg Honor Code is to promote these qualities so that each student can fully develop his or her individual potential. Upon admission, each student makes an agreement with his or her fellow students to abide by the Kellogg Honor Code. Students who violate the Kellogg Honor Code violate this agreement and must accept the sanction(s) imposed by the Kellogg community.
The Kellogg Honor Code is administered by students and is based on the concept of self-government. The efficacy of such a student-administered honor code is dependent upon a high degree of dedication to the ideals of honesty, integrity and equal opportunity reflected by the code. The Kellogg Honor Code requires that each student act with integrity in all Kellogg activities and that each student hold his or her peers to the same standard. In agreeing to abide by the code, the Kellogg students also agree to report suspected violations. By not tolerating lapses in honesty and integrity, the Kellogg community affirms the importance of these values.
The intent of the Kellogg Honor Code is to express the ethical standards of the Kellogg community. It does not attempt to be a list of rules and sanctions.
I. Organization A. The Honor Code Committee i. Role: The Honor Code Committee is responsible for:
a) Interpreting the Honor Code; b) Promoting the values of the Honor Code through communication with Kellogg students, faculty, and administrators; c) Serving as representatives of the student body on all issues pertaining to the Honor Code; d) Assisting in investigations of suspected Honor Code violations (see Section II,E); and e) Interpreting possible violations of the Honor Code.
ii. Composition: The Honor Code Committee will include two co-chairs, five student representatives, and a faculty representative. The student representatives will consist of two full0-time students from the first-year class, two full-time students from the second-year class and one 1Y student. The selection procedure for the co-chairs is outlined in Section I.B.ii. The student representatives will be appointed by the co-chairs. The faculty representative will be identified by the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. The faculty representative is a non-voting member of the Honor Code Committee and is also responsible for providing advice to the Committee and feedback to the faculty about the Honor Code.
iii. Replacement: If the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs or the co-chairs determine that a member of the Honor Code Committee is unfit to perform his or her duties, the co-chairs will excuse that member from all further involvement in the Honor Code Committee. His or her responsibilities will be assumed by (a) another student appointed jointly by the co-chairs and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, or (b) in the case of faculty, another faculty member appointed by the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
back to top
B. The Honor Code Co-Chairs
i. Role: The Honor Code Co-Chairs are responsible for:
a) Promoting the values of the Honor Code; b) Selecting members of the Honor Code Committee; c) Setting the annual agenda for the Honor Code Committee; d) Overseeing the activities of the Honor Code Committee; e) Administering Honor Code proceedings; f) Coordinating with the administration and faculty on matters relating to the Honor Code; g) Publishing an annual overview of Committee actions to the Kellogg community; and h) Ensuring that the Honor Code remains an important aspect of the Kellogg environment.
ii. Succession: The offices of the Honor Code Co-Chairs will be filled by the current 1st Year Representatives upon the completion of the current academic year. This elevation is subject to the approval of a majority of the non-1st Year Representative members of the outgoing Committee and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. In the event that either of the 1st Year Representatives opts out or is deemed unsatisfactory for the co-chair position, the Committee, in consultation with the KSA Executive Committee and the administration, will select an appropriate replacement.
iii. Conflict of Interest: The co-chairs may not run for KSA office or hold KSA office while serving as co-chairs.
iv. Replacement: If the assistant dean or a majority of the remaining members of the Committee determines that a co-chair is unfit to perform his or her duties, the assistant dean will excuse the co-chair from all further involvement in the Committee. All responsibilities of the removed co-chair will be assumed by the remaining co-chair and/or another member of the Honor Code Committee selected by the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
C. The Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs The role of the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs on the Honor Code Committee is to provide impartial procedural advice to the Committee and the co-chairs. S/he will also serve as the historian of the Honor Code, maintaining records of past actions and cases and advising the Committee of past precedents
II. Suspected Violations A. Reporting Suspected Violations Students and faculty members are obligated to report suspected violations of the Honor Code promptly to a member of the Honor Code Committee, the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, or any faculty member. Should the case proceed to a hearing, the person(s) reporting the suspected violation will become the charging witness(es). There must be at least one charging witness for an investigation to commence.
B. Notification The person to whom the suspected violation is initially reported (Section II, A) will notify the co-chairs of the suspected violation as soon as possible. The co-chairs will notify the KSA VP of Academics, the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, and the members of the Committee. The co-chairs will choose a member of the Committee to assist the KSA VP of Academics with the investigation.
C. Confidentiality Charges and all subsequent steps pertaining thereto will be kept confidential by all parties involved. Only the co-chairs, the KSA VP of Academics, Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, and the Committee member assisting with the investigation will know the identities of the accused and the accuser(s) unless/until the case goes before a student panel. Any breach of confidentiality is an Honor Code violation. The charged person may choose to waive his or her right to confidentiality at any time during the investigation or hearing by giving written notice to the co-chairs.
D. Investigation i. Investigators: The KSA VP of Academics will conduct the investigation of the suspected violation. If the KSA VP of Academics recuses him/herself or is unavailable to conduct the investigation in a timely manner, a previously designated substitute from the KSA Executive Committee will conduct the investigation. The substitute investigator shall be chosen annually once the new KSA Executive Committee takes office. A member of the Honor Code Committee, chosen by the co-chairs on a case-by-case basis, will accompany the KSA investigator on all interviews and offer assistance on all aspects of the investigation.
ii. Investigation: The investigation may include interviews with any and all persons, regardless of affiliation with Kellogg, believed to have information relevant to the incident. The investigation will be conducted under the supervision of the co-chairs and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. All interviews will be conducted in the presence of one member of the Honor Code Committee. Upon completion of the investigation, the KSA investigator will report the investigation's findings to the Honor Code Committee.
iii. Determination: Upon the presentation of the investigation report, the Committee and the KSA investigator will discuss the elements of the case and address any ambiguities. At the conclusion of the discussion, three of the four student representatives of the Honor Code Committee not involved with the investigation will be randomly selected to determine by majority vote whether a hearing is warranted. The Committee's decision will be based on the results of the investigation, the letter and spirit of the Honor Code, and the materiality of the suspected violation. The Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will serve in an advisory capacity to the Committee, if requested. The Honor Code co-chairs and the KSA investigator are not to cast votes as members of the Honor Code Committee. The three voting members of the Honor Code Committee will then be excused from all further involvement in the case.
Interpretations are the opinions of the Committee only and will not prejudice the investigation or the hearing of suspected violations of the Honor Code. Final determination of violations may be made only by a hearing panel, with one exception noted below (Sections II,E). If the Committee determines there are not sufficient grounds to warrant a hearing, the co-chairs will so notify the charged person and the person who filed the charge in writing, at which point the case will be closed.
iv. Minutes: The KSA investigator or the HCC investigator for the case shall promptly prepare minutes of the findings. The minutes shall not reveal the identities of any parties. The minutes shall be held by the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs and shall be available for all future Honor Code Committees to review.
E. Acceptance of Charge for Suspected Violation At any point in the hearing process, and at his/her sole discretion, the charged person may confess to the suspected violation and thus waive his/her right to a hearing. The charged person must inform the co-chairs of his/her decision as soon as possible, and subsequently provide a written and signed statement to the co-chairs detailing what violation is being confessed to and why the person is choosing to confess. This statement of confession will be kept confidential by the co-chairs and Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
In such situations, the Committee, with the advice of the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs, KSA investigator, and other relevant parties, will determine the sanctions for the violation. Possible sanctions are listed below in Section III, H. The recommended sanctions must be approved by a majority of the Committee.
The charged person retains the rights to subsequently request a student panel or to appeal these sanctions to the Dean of Kellogg using the procedures outlined in Section III, J below.
III. Hearings A. Notification Upon determining that the case will move to a hearing, the co-chairs should immediately inform the accused of this fact via e-mail. Once the date, time and location for the hearing have been determined, which must be done with due haste, the co-chairs will provide written notification by registered mail to the local address of the charged person. The notification will include:
i. The date of the notice; ii. The name of the charged person; iii. The name of the charging person (If the charging person is a student, that student's written consent to be identified must be provided); iv. A description of the suspected violation; v. The date, time and place of the hearing; and vi. The names of persons appearing as witnesses against the charged person (provided again that any student witnesses must provide written consent to be identified).
B. Advisers/Spokespersons The charged person and the KSA investigator each may enlist an adviser to assist them in preparing for the hearing. In addition, the charged person may empower the same person or a different person to act as spokesperson, assisting in the presentation of the charged person's arguments at the hearing. The adviser/spokesperson may only be a Kellogg student or a member of the Kellogg regular faculty, although it may not be a co-chair or the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. The adviser would attend the pre-hearing conference and the hearing and would provide advice to the party in question.
C. Pre-Hearing Conference The accused and the KSA investigator will be encouraged to attend a pre-hearing conference conducted by the co-chairs. The purpose of this conference is to clarify procedural issues concerning the hearing and preparations for the hearing. The pre-hearing conference should be held at least one week prior to the hearing.
D. Preparation All information to be presented at the hearing will be made available to the charged person by the KSA investigator at least one week prior to the hearing. The chairs will not convene the hearing until the charged person has had a reasonable amount of time to complete his or her own investigation.
The charged person will be allowed to:
i. Conduct his or her own investigation of the circumstances surrounding the reported violation; and ii. Request interviews from any persons believed to have information relevant to the incident All interviews involving persons expected to provide evidence against the charged person during the hearing must be conducted in the presence of at least one member of the Honor Code Committee.
E. Hearing Panel For each hearing, the co-chairs and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will create a hearing panel.
i. Role: The purpose of the panel is to provide the Dean of Kellogg with a determination of fact and a recommended sanction, if any. ii. Composition: The panel will include one or both of the co-chairs, eight student members, and at least one tenured faculty member. One of the student members will be chosen by the co-chair(s) to serve as secretary of the panel. The secretary will take minutes of the panel's meeting. iii. Appointing panel members: The Office of the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will prepare a random listing of all students enrolled in the program in which the charged person is enrolled. The first eight students able and available to serve will be selected in the order that their names appear on the list. Students will serve for only one hearing. All students have a duty to serve on a panel when selected, but the co-chairs and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will excuse a student if he or she has cause for not serving or if that student is deemed to have a conflict of interest. The same random selection process will be used to appoint the faculty members for each hearing, with the understanding that faculty members associated with the course(s) at issue or faculty members otherwise involved in the incident may not be appointed to the panel.
The names of the panel's members shall be provided to the charged person, who may challenge the inclusion of any panel members for cause. Challenges must be made in writing and delivered promptly to the co-chairs. Those challenged may be removed by decision of the co-chairs and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. Challenged panel members will be replaced. The charged person has a right to challenge replacements for cause using the procedure identified in this paragraph
F. The Hearing i. Location and time: The hearing will be held at a place and time that will protect the confidentiality of the matter and be convenient to all parties involved. The hearing will not be held in the Jacobs Center or the McManus Living-Learning Center. The hearing proceedings and the panel discussions taken in aggregate shall not exceed eight hours.
ii. Observers: Unless otherwise requested in writing by the charged person, hearings will be closed. Witnesses are not permitted to remain in the hearing room either before or after giving evidence. The charged person's adviser and/or spokesperson and the KSA investigator's advisor will be permitted to attend the hearing, if applicable. The parents and/or spouse of the charged person will also be permitted to attend the hearing as observers only.
iii. Roles: The Honor Code co-chairs will direct the hearing. The KSA investigator will present to the panel the findings of the investigation and may ask persons to give testimony in the case. In conducting this role, the KSA investigator is not and should not be a prosecutor, but should always seek to present all relevant facts pertaining to a particular case.
The charged person will be given the opportunity to respond to the charges with:
a. Information, b. Physical evidence, c. Testimony or witnesses, and/or d. Questions of the witnesses called by the KSA investigator. Panel members may question evidence and testimony presented by both the KSA investigator and the charged person. The faculty members of the panel are to assist the panel in their deliberations and should help the panel members prepare written opinions. Faculty members do not vote on either the determination of fact or the recommendation of sanctions.
iv. Rules of evidence: The hearing will not be conducted according to strict rules of evidence or the procedures used in a court of law. The co-chairs will make determinations on the admissibility of evidence.
v. Decisions: At the conclusion of the hearing, the panel members and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will meet privately to discuss the hearing. Thereafter, the eight student panel members will convene in private, without faculty or administration advisors, and vote to determine whether the charged person is or is not guilty of violating the Honor Code. The co-chairs, the faculty panel members, and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will act as advisers to the panel as necessary. In providing advice to the panel members, faculty members should participate in discussions to ensure that all relevant information has been considered. However, it is inappropriate for faculty members to state their personal opinion regarding the guilt or innocence of the charged person.
G. Burden of Proof For a finding of guilt to be rendered, at least seven of the eight voting panel members must conclude that the material presented during the hearing supports such a decision with sufficient evidence.
If the student is found guilty, both the majority and dissenting panel members must issue a written opinion to the Dean of Kellogg within five days. The majority opinion should set forth enumerated findings of fact which constituted the basis for its finding of guilt. The opinion should also explain how it resolved any ambiguities in the Kellogg Honor Code if any such ambiguities were at issue. The dissenting opinion, if any, should detail the basis for the belief that a reasonable doubt existed or that the Honor Code was not violated. The opinions will not reveal the names of any parties. All panel members will be required to sign a statement indicating that they agree with their respective opinion as written. The statement will not identify panel members with an opinion. The faculty panel members may be consulted in the course of the preparation of the written opinion.
If the student is not found guilty, both the majority and dissenting panel members must issue similar written opinions to the Dean of Kellogg within five days.
The written opinions shall be held by the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs and shall be available for all future Honor Code Committees and panels to review.
H. Sanctions If the student is found guilty, the panel will also recommend a sanction or slate of sanctions. The recommended sanction(s) must be agreed to by at least seven of the eight voting panel members. Sanctions may include, but are not limited to, the following:
i. Loss of student rights and privileges for a specified period; ii. Required service; iii. Reduced or failing grade; iv. Probation; v. Suspension for a definite or indefinite period; vi. Exclusion (i.e. expulsion) from Kellogg; and/or vii. A combination of the above
Any sanction involving a reduced or failing grade will only serve as a recommendation to the appropriate faculty member. The panel will also recommend to the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs whether a record of the charges and sanction(s) should be made a part of the student's permanent file.
I. Notification of Determination and Sanction Upon receipt of approval of the recommended sanction(s) from the Kellogg deans and the Northwestern University Office of General Counsel, the co-chairs will provide the charged person written notice of the panel's determination of fact and recommended sanction(s), if any. Within five business days thereafter, the written opinion will be given to the Dean of Kellogg, along with a file containing all documents and physical evidence needed to evaluate the case.
J. Appeals to the Dean of Kellogg Within five business days of receiving written notice of the panel's determination of fact and recommended sanction(s), the charged person may appeal the decision of guilt and/or the recommended sanction(s) to the Dean of Kellogg. Appeals may be considered on the basis of an unduly harsh sanction(s), new information not available or reasonably known at the time of the hearing, violation of procedure, or harmful bias. All appeals must be in writing and include the following information:
i. The date the appeal is filed; ii. The name, address and telephone number of the person making the appeal; and iii. The basis for the appeal.
The appeal must also be forwarded to the Honor Code co-chairs and the KSA investigator. Both the co-chairs and the KSA investigator will be permitted to reply to the dean in writing to address the issues raised by the appeal.
K. Results of Appeals i. Determination of sanctions: In connection with any appeal, the Dean of Kellogg may accept the recommendation of sanctions of the hearing panel or the Committee in whole or in part, or fashion a decision he or she feels is more appropriate.
ii. Appeals based on information unavailable or not reasonably known prior to the determination of the hearing panel: If the dean determines that new information presented in the appeal is material, the dean will instruct the panel to hear such additional information. The dean may also instruct the panel to reconsider the original information. After considering the information specified by the dean, the panel will make a determination of fact as provided for in Part III,F,v and Part III,G and a recommendation of sanctions as provided for in Part III,H to be presented to the dean.
iii. Appeals based on the dean's determination of harmful bias or violation of procedure: If the Dean of Kellogg determines that a harmful bias or a violation of procedure occurred during the process, then the dean will call a meeting of the Honor Code co-chairs, the KSA investigator, and the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. This group of four, excluding the dean, will make a determination by majority vote whether to:
a. Uphold the panel's determination of fact and make a recommendation of sanctions to the dean based on the panel's recommendation of sanctions or fashion a recommendation of sanctions they feel is more appropriate, b. Overturn the panel's determination of fact and render a finding of innocence, or c. Take any other action deemed appropriate.
In the event of a tie, the dean will cast the deciding vote. In addition, the dean will retain veto power at all times.
iv. Notification: The dean will notify the charged party of his or her decision in writing within 10 business days after the appeal is filed.
L. Records Minutes of meetings of the panel and all documents associated with the investigation and hearing deemed relevant by the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs will be maintained by the Office of the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs.
If the charge is upheld, the Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs may retain such records in the charged person's permanent file (if so recommended by the hearing panel under Section III,H), but no record of the Honor Code violation will be placed on the transcript of the charged person, except in cases that result in the exclusion of the student from Northwestern University. In such cases, in accordance with Northwestern University policy, the exclusion is indicated on the student's transcript with the phrase: Excluded for Academic Dishonesty.
IV. Honor Code Co-Chairs' Reports A. Public Statement on Violations The co-chairs may consider submitting a public statement to the Kellogg community about the proceedings. This public statement will not reveal any personally identifiable information regarding the parties involved, including the members of the hearing panel. This public statement may only reveal:
i. A description of the conduct that gave rise to the charge, and ii. The final decision regarding the range of sanctions considered and the basis for any changes resulting from appeals and the basis for such appeal. In the event a charged person is found not guilty either by the student panel or on appeal, the co-chairs shall give the charged person the option of whether a public statement is made.
B. Annual Report The co-chairs will be responsible for submitting an annual overview of Honor Code Committee proceedings for the past calendar year to the Kellogg community. These proceedings should include a summary of violations that occurred over the past calendar year as well as non-case related activities undertaken by the Committee. No student names or other personally identifiable information should be included in the report. It is recommended that the annual report be issued at or near the beginning of Winter Quarter.
V. Amendments It is envisioned that from time to time amendments to the Kellogg Honor Code may be necessary to clarify or amend provisions. The Honor Code Co-Chairs and Committee will determine, by majority vote, whether any proposed change requires a clarification of provisions or an amended provision.
A. Clarification of Provisions If there is any provision in the Honor Code that requires clarification, but does not materially change the procedures or the spirit of the Honor Code, then such clarification may be made by a majority vote of the Honor Code Co-Chairs and Committee members with the advice of the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs. All clarifications must be approved by Northwestern University's Office of General Counsel and subsequently submitted in writing to the Dean of Kellogg, who will have veto power over any and all clarifications.
B. Amended Provisions If any proposed change to the Honor Code materially alters a procedure or the spirit of the Honor Code, then the amendment can be effected only with the support of a majority of students enrolled in Kellogg and subject to the Honor Code and, to the extent that the proposed material change would affect faculty's role in implementing the Honor Code, a majority of all faculty members. Prior to voting, all proposed changes must be approved by Northwestern University's Office of General Counsel and subsequently submitted in writing to the Dean of Kellogg, who will have the authority to veto any and all proposed changes to the Honor Code.

All that single-coil sound and none of the noise.
No humbucking pickup sounds exactly like a vintage single-coil, but the Cruiser is about the closest you can come. We make one coil the woofer, and the other the tweeter. This extends the range of the noise-canceling design, and allows us to enhance the best qualities of each coil while fine-tuning the output. DiMarzio calls this their dual-resonance design, and it's patented. There is less magnetic pull, and it still sounds clean, clear, and bright.
Recommended for bridge position with DP186, or neck & middle with hotter bridge like Fast Track 1, Chopper, Pro Track, or full-size humbuckers (See recommended accessories box on this page).

Cosmo's covers are famous for featuring women with voluminous, bombshell hair. Here, Oscar Blandi, who's styled many Cosmo covers, explains how to get our signature strand effect.
STEP 1:Towel dry your hair then mist a leave-in conditioner on your ends followed by a volumizer all over. Flip your head over and start blow-drying your roots while pulling them away from your scalp with your fingers, then dry the rest of your hair until it's slightly damp.
STEP 2: Bring your hair upright and wrap 1-inch sections in Velcro rollers. Once all your hair is set, blow-dry with a diffuser for 10 minutes on the hot setting, then 10 minutes on cool. Alternative options: Use large hot rollers or a curling iron but first make sure hair is 100 percent dry.
STEP 3: Remove the rollers, then mix a drop each of shine serum and light gel (the perfect combo for hold and shine) between your fingers, then run hands throughout your hair.
STEP 4: For an extra body boost, gently tease your roots around the crown of your head, Finish by finger-tousling your hair into a cascade of loose come-hither curls, and give your locks a light spritz with hair spray.
STEP 5: Major mane booster: chopsticks have a hidden use: They can give your hair loads of volume. Right after blow-drying, while your hair is still warm, twist it into a bun and slip the sticks through, says NYC salon owner Ted Gibson. Remove the sticks when your tresses have cooled and voilà beautiful body.

Current & Upcoming Films
Pasolini: A Film Series
Introduced by Ninetto Davoli!
1972. Italy. Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. With Pier Paolo Pasolini, Hugh Griffith, Josephine Chaplin, Ninetto Davoli Laura Betti. "The images are often bewitching, with Tonino Delli Colli's color photography and Dante Ferretti's art direction. Among the few studio interiors, for instance, the set for Geoffrey Chaucer's study is given the determined exploratory perspective of a medieval painting by the use of a checkered floor and other convergent, geometrical forms. Mostly, however, the film uses actual locations, selected with no scholarship about period, but with a flair which gives exciting new aspects to familiar places" (David Robinson, The Times, June 15, 1973). In Italian; English subtitles. 123 min.
See the FULL DAY'S SCHEDULE, here at The Roxie.
The Series:
On the heels of a major retrospective at MOMA in New York, and at UCLA and American Cinemateque in Los Angeles, Luce Cinecittà and Fondo Pier Paolo Pasolini/Cineteca di Bologna, in association with Colpa Cinema and the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco, present Pasolini, a sampling of the three periods of Italian film master Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922 – 1975) from September 14th through September 15th at the Castro Theatre and Roxie Theater. The exhibition continues at Pacific Film Archive and is part of a larger national tour of 22 Pasolini films, on newly made 35mm prints. From the Bay Area, the series will travel to Columbus, Washington, Cleveland, Chicago,and Toronto.

President is in Ohio today is that a community college counting his eight billion dollar program to -- job training for two million workers.
The president has tried this before.
He spent a half billion dollars in stimulus to train -- 125000.
Greed and if you look at boss three years in.
Only 8000 folks have actually been placed in.
Do these job training programs walk.
Former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain is here to weigh in on lap one that's the question -- -- job training programs given by the government work.
If we had jobs they would they're working on -- Rome problem Stewart.
Job training given what we need we need jobs.
And this administration fundamentally does not understand how to create jobs and government cannot pick -- -- loses I this -- this way.
We have three economy is that people worry about the national economy which is stalled it is not growing the state economy.
And -- -- it in Ohio go.
Governor Kasich has done a good job of reversing -- -- of losing businesses and jobs in Ohio and you have the kitchen table economy.
The kitchen table economy.
They do worry about debt to pick up on what Byron was talking about they call -- Because when they -- found a balanced bad kitchen table economics they do care about job -- it is not what we need.
We need jobs and that means we need significant.
Replacing it.
Of the tax code I I I got that now I just want to go back to job training.
And the quality of the workforce as it comes out of schools and goes into the lay before us.
I've -- report that says 55%.
Of new employment entry entry people.
They got a problem with punctuality -- can't get to work on time.
About 35%.
Having trouble getting along with that colleagues -- -- good -- look into postal relations not good.
We've got the DC transit system tried to hire 14100 low end employees.
High paid low end.
They got less than a hundred to a qualified because of drug problems educational problems and crime problems.
I put it to you what should the president be -- to back entry level population that's just not qualified -- -- menial jobs.
-- -- president should be doing is not meddling in trying to train people businesses would train people with government gets hobbled away.
And I'm not saying that the government needs to provide in -- particularly incentives that's not the government's job is to do job training.
Employed here is what train the people that they need now that big the end they want that you pointed out.
Made it even don't even know that -- are available on that they are there in order to be trained businesses would do the job of training if the government gets out of the way.
That it -- -- the campaign and the yet the primaries.
Any idea why Newt Gingrich has not gotten out of the race yet.
Stood -- not a mind reader I do not know.
All indications are is that that number is all on governor -- Romney's side that.
And I really have not have a conversation with speaker Gingrich as to why he is -- insistent on stand in the race what would you tell entered an -- -- -- -- How would you Stewart he's he's a grown man arcade tell them what to do.
Good diplomat and that's a fact about Rick Santorum.
Alexa ray goes out to -- it's a -- Amanda went out in the state of Ohio and it said it truly frightens me to think what will happen if Mitt.
Romney is the -- that went out all week.
Have to Rick santorum's dropped out of the rice any comment on that.
That is unfortunate.
And I believe that it went out because at that point in the race when Rick Santorum was still -- it.
He had gone into full attack mode against Romney and they didn't turn off the email -- for some reason it's unfortunate that it went out.
But in the.
A lot of our viewers are saying to me at least.
Where is Mitt Romney is single easy attack line and on the economy like Ronald Reagan said all you better off now -- were four years ago they wanna see the same thing from Mitt Romney.
Have you gonna suggest and all that the 999.
-- and -- have you got a suggestion what Mitt Romney might say.
If he's saying is.
When I'm prevalent -- 999.
Gets to my desk I will sign it.
That will be his left Atlanta and I'm quite sure we used to it it wouldn't be a winner just say -- was that it and we'll dude and -- do to.
Hard -- all joking aside.
All you somewhat critical of Mitt Romney followed the lack of an attack line whether it's 999 a one -- -- you somewhat critical of the waste coming out of the box on the economy.
Yes I am I was critical when I was still a candidate about his fifth and -- point plan I've been right up front -- that it's not resonating with the American people.
And that -- to be perfectly honest with you -- will be meeting with.
Governor Romney within the next ten days -- so.
And I'm gonna suggest to him that he doesn't need something that connects and captivates the American people bad then the generic.
Political rhetoric that has always been a weakness that I have criticized him for but they call them -- support the ultimate nominee.
I'm gonna suggest that he needs to strengthen that as you have indicated -- Alan -- is always a pleasure to see you thank you very much for joining us appreciate it it's.
Stewart might let -- -- I do.

As much as I'd like to ignore holidays devoted entirely to acquiring stuff, I cannot. I live in the modern world. And my almost four-year-old - who isn't a stuff-ist, actually - would notice. So would other relatives and friends.
So here's my top ten list of what to think about and look out for when gathering holiday presents for any small family member or friend.
1. Give Without Giving Stuff
Can you gift items that aren't stuff? Tickets to shows or a series of classes are a personal favorite. We always ask the grandparents for these. They support local theatres and businesses, are a great shared experience, and, in the case of classes, are really a gift that keeps on giving, especially in a long winter when getting out to go to a class (soccer, dance, music, etc.) is a much needed break from being indoors at home. Bonus: tickets and classes do not clutter the house, they do not later become landfill fodder, and they do not contain potentially harmful chemicals you do not want your children playing with! (See 15 more ways to give without giving stuff.)
2. Regift
What can you recycle, regift, or purchase second hand? There's nothing wrong with eco-wrapping up some hand-me-downs. Kids like things that are new to them, they don't always have to be entirely new. Just keep in mind that the chemical concerns with new toys also exist with older toys, especially in flexible plastic items that might be vinyl (more on that in a moment). Gently used sports equipment is always a good bet - bikes, trikes, ice skates, scooters and the like make great second hand gifts. (Though check any bike flair accessory kits on HealthyStuff.org. They have more than a few that get a high hazard rating.
3. Give Books!
I sound like my own mother but books are a marvelous, wonderful, fabulous present. Have books that your kid has grown out of? Swap with friends who have kids younger than you do. Or donate them to a local school or library. Or Freecycle!
4. Purge Before You Binge
Before you shop, do not forget to purge. Go through toy bins with your children to see what is no longer in use, and what might be good to hand-me-down to others. Make sure to dispose of items you can't reuse or recycle in the most mindful way possible. Do not toss electronics before checking if they are safe to toss. Many municipalities now have electronic waste collection days - check around to see when yours does.
5. Research Twice, Buy Once
Do not go into a store without pre-shopping first or you will wind up with something possibly questionable you didn't really want in the first place. Shop small stores that carefully curate their selections. I avoid plastic and favor eco-friendly wood toys to just about anything, and organic fabrics for plush toys. Do not post in comments that you feel sorry for my kid because she doesn't have plastic toys! She loves her toys! Avoid plastic and electronics for as long as humanly possible. I do not have a teenager yet so have not dealt with i-Phone begging (phew) but if you're managing an age group wild for electronics, check everything on Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics before purchasing.
6. Avoid Plastic
When you cannot avoid plastic, think again. My daughter is begging for a pram for her babies. Cheap plastic ones abound and HealthyStuff.org's latest safe toy results make it look like the main issue with plastic doll strollers is chlorine (I assume from PVC) which they refer to as a "medium" hazard. But there are (granted, more expensive) wood, metal-and-fabric, and even wicker versions on the market if you take the time to look for them. Plastic can be avoided, it just takes more scouting work. It's worthwhile. A disproportionate number of the toys that have been recalled over the years are plastic. Yes, some of them have been painted wood. But on average, plastic has been where most of the worst stuff lurks.
7. Double Check Healthystuff.org
Before shopping, and especially before buying plastic or painted wood toys - head to HealthyStuff.org to get a sense of what the issues are. They have been testing toys - plastic and otherwise - since 2007 using XRF technology for lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, PVC, and bromine (this is found in flame retardants). From their just-released 2009 results: "According to our research, lead has been steadily decreasing in toys. In fact, the number of products with lead exceeding current federal standards for lead in toys (300 ppm) decreased by 2/3 (67%) since 2007. However, one in three of all toys tested (32%) this holiday season still contained one or more harmful chemical including lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury."
Certain plastics are deemed safer than others - #2, #4, and #5. But it is the rare toy that is actually labeled with what kind of plastic it is made of. My general rule of thumb is to avoid flexible plastic - that tends to contain hormone disrupting chemicals as well as other undesirables. I also avoid anything with a scent - synthetic fragrance can also contain hormone disruptors.
8. Buy Safe Costumes for Dress-up Games
Dress up and role-playing is crucial for children. It's so fun and you can practically see their brains expanding as they make things up. But costumes and costume jewelry can contain lead and other undesirables. Keep dress up gifts minimal: Will scarves cut it? They can wrap and twist into any sort of outfit - princess, knight, doctor, rock star, what have you. If not, look up the jewelry or outfit you're considering on HealthyStuff.org. Also, if your child wants to play grown-up, this is one instance where reusing some of your old stuff - like an old cell phone or a keyboard from an old computer - isn't a good idea. Buy a wooden play phone instead. It won't contain the flame retardants the old electronics do.
9. Give the Gift of (Safe) Art
Pay attention to art materials. Glues, paints, modeling clays, stamp pads, markers, and more all can potentially contain a scary mix of VOCs and more you don't want kids breathing or putting on their skin (formaldehyde, xylene, dyes, and even synthetic fragrance). Read labels to find the good stuff. Look for soy- or beeswax-based crayons, beeswax modeling blocks, natural dyes, companies willing to disclose all ingredients and so on. Make your own playdough (this makes a wonderful gift!).
10. Don't Forget to Play
What's the point of all of this careful research and shopping if not play? As I type, I'm listening to my daughter hysterically laugh with the teenager who lives across our hall. She's so much more playful than me when I'm busy and have work to do, which is why my daughter loves her. It's a free holiday (or any season) lesson: sometimes the gift of time is the best thing anyone can give or receive. I'm going to join them.

They served on the same Republican presidential ticket in 2008, but they're divided over who to support in the 2012 Indiana Senate race.
Sen. John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee and his former vice presidential running mate former Gov. Sarah Palin picked their candidates in the state's Republican primary on Friday with McCain backing fellow incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar and Palin supporting Lugar challenger and State Treasurer Richard Mourdock.
McCain, the senior Arizona senator, recorded a radio ad for Lugar, set to run in the state on Friday, in which he highlights the six-term incumbent's opposition to "Obamacare" and efforts to keep the United States safe. Lugar is the ranking Republican on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
"Some in Indiana are claiming Dick Lugar is Obama's friend. That's ridiculous, and I know firsthand because I fight alongside him every day in the Senate," McCain said in the spot. "Dick Lugar is a patriot and a hero, and we need him in the United States Senate."
Palin announced her support of Mourdock in a Facebook post. She said Lugar's service is "appreciated," but "it's time for the torch to pass to conservative leadership in Washington."
"Indiana deserves a conservative in the Senate who will fight for the Hoosier State, uphold our Constitution, and not just go along to get along with the vested interests of the permanent political class in D.C.," Palin wrote.
"Our response to Palin is that we have a new ad out today from Gov. Daniels and the ad from Sen. McCain," Lugar spokesman Andy Fisher told CNN.
Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana released his second television spot in support of Lugar on Friday.
Lugar and Mourdock are set to face off in the Republican primary on May 8, the first significant primary challenge Lugar has sustained since he entered the Senate in 1976.
Mourdock, who has criticized Lugar's past work with Democrats, enters the final phase of the campaign with backing from major conservative groups, while Lugar has painted himself as a consistently conservative fighter on behalf of Hoosier voters.

The Government has commenced work to provide pipe borne water to Mullaittivu and Kilinochchci areas from the Iranamadu Tank.
Plans are also under way to lay a 43 Kilometre pipeline from the Iranamadu Tank to Jaffna to provide pipe borne water to the peninsula. "We hope these two projects would be ready by early next year," said Project Director, Re-Awakening Project, Community Livelihoods in Conflict Areas, Ministry of Nation Building and Infrastructure Development, P.H. Sugathadasa.He said that when the Government starts resettling the Internally Displayed Persons (IDPs) in the camps a priority would be drinking water.
"This is why this project is a priority and when the resettlement commences drinking water will be available for them," he said. There are high-rise buildings, hotels, office complexes and apartments planned and the present water supply would not be adequate. "This is why we are planning to provide water on a mass scale to Jaffna from the Iranamadu tank," he said. A sum of Rs. One billion was allocated to develop the Iranamadu Tank last year with the funding also coming from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
