CUNY's computer resources are dedicated to the support of the university's mission of education, research and public service. In furtherance of this mission, CUNY respects, upholds and endeavors to safeguard the principles of academic freedom, freedom of expression and freedom of inquiry.
CUNY recognizes that there is a concern among the university community that because information created, used, transmitted or stored in electronic form is by its nature susceptible to disclosure, invasion, loss, and similar risks, electronic communications and transactions will be particularly vulnerable to infringements of academic freedom. CUNY's commitment to the principles of academic freedom and freedom of expression includes electronic information. Therefore, whenever possible, CUNY will resolve doubts about the need to access CUNY computer resources in favor of a user's privacy interest.
However, the use of CUNY computer resources, including for electronic transactions and communications, like the use of other university-provided resources and activities, is subject to the requirements of legal and ethical behavior. This policy is intended to support the free exchange of ideas among members of the CUNY community and between the CUNY community and other communities, while recognizing the responsibilities and limitations associated with such exchange.
This policy applies to all users of CUNY computer resources, whether affiliated with CUNY or not, and whether accessing those resources on a CUNY campus or remotely.
This policy supersedes the CUNY policy titled "CUNY Computer User Responsibilities" and any college policies that are inconsistent with this policy.
"CUNY Computer resources" refers to all computer and information technology hardware, software, data, access and other resources owned, operated, or contracted by CUNY. This includes, but is not limited to, personal computers, handheld devices, workstations, mainframes, minicomputers, servers, network facilities, databases, memory, and associated peripherals and software, and the applications they support, such as e-mail and access to the internet.
"E-mail" includes point-to-point messages, postings to newsgroups and listservs, and other electronic messages involving computers and computer networks.
Users may not access a CUNY computer resource without authorization or use it for purposes beyond the scope of authorization. This includes attempting to circumvent CUNY computer resource system protection facilities by hacking, cracking or similar activities, accessing or using another person's computer account, and allowing another person to access or use the user's account. This provision shall not prevent a user from authorizing a colleague or clerical assistant to access information under the user's account on the user's behalf while away from a CUNY campus or because of a disability. CUNY computer resources may not be used to gain unauthorized access to another computer system within or outside of CUNY. Users are responsible for all actions performed from their computer account that they permitted or failed to prevent by taking ordinary security precautions.
Use of CUNY computer resources is limited to activities relating to the performance by CUNY employees of their duties and responsibilities. For example, use of CUNY computer resources for private commercial or not-for-profit business purposes, for private advertising of products or services, or for any activity meant solely to foster personal gain, is prohibited. Similarly, use of CUNY computer resources for partisan political activity is also prohibited.
Except with respect to CUNY employees other than faculty, where a supervisor has prohibited it in writing, incidental personal use of computer resources is permitted so long as such use does not interfere with CUNY operations, does not compromise the functioning of CUNY computer resources, does not interfere with the user's employment or other obligations to CUNY, and is otherwise in compliance with this policy.
CUNY computer resources may not be used for any purpose or in any manner that violates CUNY rules, regulations or policies, or federal, state or local law. Users who engage in electronic communications with persons in other states or countries or on other systems or networks may also be subject to the laws of those other states and countries, and the rules and policies of those other systems and networks. Users are responsible for ascertaining, understanding, and complying with the laws, rules, policies, contracts, and licenses applicable to their particular use.
Examples of applicable federal and state laws include the laws of libel, obscenity and child pornography, as well as the following:
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Electronic Communications Privacy Act
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
New York State Freedom of Information Law
New York State Law with respect to the confidentiality of library records
Examples of applicable CUNY rules and policies include the following:
Sexual Harassment Policy
Policy on Maintenance of Public Order
Web Site Privacy Policy
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Information Security Program
University Policy on Academic Integrity
Information Security policies
Users of CUNY computer resources may use only legally obtained, licensed data or software and must comply with applicable licenses or other contracts, as well as copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.
Much of what appears on the internet and/or is distributed via electronic communication is protected by copyright law, regardless of whether the copyright is expressly noted. Users of CUNY computer resources should generally assume that material is copyrighted unless they know otherwise, and not copy, download or distribute copyrighted material without permission unless the use does not exceed fair use as defined by the federal Copyright Act of 1976. Protected material may include, among other things, text, photographs, audio, video, graphic illustrations, and computer software.
Users of CUNY computer resources may not employ a false identity, mask the identity of an account or computer, or use computer resources to engage in abuse of others, such as sending harassing, obscene, threatening, abusive, deceptive, or anonymous messages within or outside CUNY.
Users of CUNY computer resources may not invade the privacy of others by, among other things, viewing, copying, modifying or destroying data or programs belonging to or containing personal or confidential information about others, without explicit permission to do so. CUNY employees must take precautions to protect the confidentiality of personal or confidential information encountered in the performance of their duties or otherwise.
Users may not install, use or develop programs intended to infiltrate or damage a computer resource, or which could reasonably be expected to cause, directly or indirectly, excessive strain on any computing facility. This includes, but is not limited to, programs known as computer viruses, Trojan horses, and worms. Users should consult with the IT director at their college before installing any programs that they are not sure are safe.
CUNY computer resources must not be used in a manner that could reasonably be expected to cause or does cause, directly or indirectly, unwarranted or unsolicited interference with the activity of other users. This provision explicitly prohibits chain letters, virus hoaxes or other intentional e-mail transmissions that disrupt normal e-mail service. Also prohibited are spamming, junk mail or other unsolicited mail that is not related to CUNY business and is sent without a reasonable expectation that the recipient would welcome receiving it, as well as the inclusion on e-mail lists of individuals who have not requested membership on the lists, other than the inclusion of members of the CUNY community on lists related to CUNY business. CUNY has the right to require users of CUNY computer resources to limit or refrain from other specific uses if, in the opinion of the IT director at the user's college, such use interferes with efficient operations of the system, subject to appeal to the President or, in the case of central office staff, to the Chancellor.
CUNY names, trademarks and logos belong to the university and are protected by law. Users of CUNY computer resources may not state or imply that they speak on behalf of CUNY or use a CUNY name, trademark or logo without authorization to do so. Affiliation with CUNY does not, by itself, imply authorization to speak on behalf of CUNY.
CUNY employs various measures to protect the security of its computer resources and of users' accounts. However, CUNY cannot guarantee such security. Users are responsible for engaging in safe computing practices such as guarding and not sharing their passwords, changing passwords regularly, logging out of systems at the end of use, and protecting private information, as well as for following CUNY's Information Security policies and procedures. Users must report incidents of Information Security policy non-compliance or other security incidents to CUNY's Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer, and the IT director at the affected user's college.
CUNY reserves the right to install spam, virus and spyware filters and similar devices if necessary in the judgment of CUNY's Office of Information Technology or a college IT director to protect the security and integrity of CUNY computer resources. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CUNY will not install filters that restrict access to e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms or websites based solely on content.
Principal investigators and others who use CUNY computer resources to store or transmit research information that is required by law or regulation to be held confidential or for which a promise of confidentiality has been given, are responsible for taking steps to protect confidential research information from unauthorized access or modification. In general, this means storing the information on a computer that provides strong access controls (passwords) and encrypting files, documents, and messages for protection against inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure while in storage or in transit over data networks. Robust encryption is strongly recommended for information stored electronically on all computers, especially portable devices such as notebook computers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), and portable data storage (e.g., memory sticks) that are vulnerable to theft or loss, as well as for information transmitted over public networks. Software and protocols used should be reviewed and approved by CUNY's Office of Information Technology.
CUNY does not routinely monitor, inspect, or disclose individual usage of its computer resources without the user's consent. In most instances, if the university needs information located in a CUNY computer resource, it will simply request it from the author or custodian. However, CUNY IT professionals and staff do regularly monitor general usage patterns as part of normal system operations and maintenance and might, in connection with these duties, observe the contents of web sites, e-mail or other electronic communications. Except as provided in this policy or by law, these individuals are not permitted to seek out contents or transactional information, or disclose or otherwise use what they have observed. Nevertheless, because of the inherent vulnerability of computer technology to unauthorized intrusions, users have no guarantee of privacy during any use of CUNY computer resources or in any data in them, whether or not a password or other entry identification or encryption is used. Users may expect that the privacy of their electronic communications and of any materials contained in computer storage in any CUNY electronic device dedicated to their use will not be intruded upon by CUNY except as outlined in this policy.
CUNY may specifically monitor or inspect the activity and accounts of individual users of CUNY computer resources, including individual login sessions, e-mail and other communications, without notice, in the following circumstances:
a. when the user has voluntarily made them accessible to the public, as by posting to Usenet or a web page;
b. when it is reasonably necessary to do so to protect the integrity, security, or functionality of CUNY or other computer resources, as determined by the college chief information officer or his or her designee, after consultation with CUNY's chief information officer or his or her designee;
c. when it is reasonably necessary to diagnose and resolve technical problems involving system hardware, software, or communications, as determined by the college chief information officer or his or her designee, after consultation with CUNY's chief information officer or his or her designee;
d. when it is reasonably necessary to protect CUNY from liability, or when failure to act might result in significant bodily harm, significant property loss or damage, or loss of significant evidence, as determined by the college president or a vice president designated by the president, after consultation with the Office of General Counsel and the Chair of the University Faculty Senate (if a CUNY faculty member's account or activity is involved) or Vice Chair if the Chair is unavailable;
e. when there is a reasonable basis to believe that CUNY policy or federal, state or local law has been or is being violated, as determined by the college president or a vice president designated by the president, after consultation with the Office of General Counsel and the Chair of the University Faculty Senate (if a CUNY faculty member's account or activity is involved) or Vice Chair if the Chair is unavailable;
f. when an account appears to be engaged in unusual or unusually excessive activity, as indicated by the monitoring of general activity and usage patterns, as determined by the college president or a vice president designated by the president and the college chief information officer or his or her designee, after consultation with CUNY's chief information officer or his or her designee, the Office of General Counsel, and the Chair of the University Faculty Senate (if a CUNY faculty member's account or activity is involved) or Vice Chair if the Chair is unavailable; or
g. as otherwise required by law.
In those situations in which the Chair of the University Faculty Senate is to be consulted prior to monitoring or inspecting an account or activity, the following procedures shall apply: (i) the college president shall report the completion of the monitoring or inspection to the Chair and the CUNY employee affected, who shall also be told the reason for the monitoring or inspection, except where specifically forbidden by law; and (ii) if the monitoring or inspection of an account or activity requires physical entry into a faculty member's office, the faculty member shall be advised prior thereto and shall be permitted to be present to observe, except where specifically forbidden by law.
A CUNY employee may apply to the General Counsel for an exemption from some or all of the circumstances under which CUNY may inspect and monitor computer resource activity and accounts, pursuant to subparagraphs (a)-(f) above, with respect to a CUNY computer resource used solely for the collection, examination, analysis, transmission or storage of confidential research data. In considering such application, the General Counsel shall have the right to require the employee to affirm in writing that the computer resource will be used solely for the confidential research. Any application for exemption should be made prior to using the computer resource for the confidential research.
CUNY, in its discretion, may disclose the results of any general or individual monitoring or inspection to appropriate CUNY personnel or agents, or law enforcement or other agencies. The results may be used in college disciplinary proceedings, discovery proceedings in legal actions, or otherwise as is necessary to protect the interests of the University.
In addition, users should be aware that CUNY may be required to disclose to the public under the New York State Freedom of Information Law communications made by means of CUNY computer resources in conjunction with University business.
Any disclosures of activity of accounts of individual users to persons or entities outside of CUNY, whether discretionary or required by law, shall be approved by the General Counsel and shall be conducted in accordance with any applicable law. Except where specifically forbidden by law, CUNY employees subject to such disclosures shall be informed promptly after the disclosure of the actions taken and the reasons for them.
The Office of General Counsel shall issue an annual statement of the instances of account monitoring or inspection that fall within categories (d) through (g) above. The statement shall indicate the number of such instances and the cause and result of each. No personally identifiable data shall be included in this statement.
See CUNY's Web Site Privacy Policy for additional information regarding data collected by CUNY from visitors to the CUNY website at www.cuny.edu.
Violation of this policy may result in suspension or termination of an individual's right of access to CUNY computer resources, disciplinary action by appropriate CUNY authorities, referral to law enforcement authorities for criminal prosecution, or other legal action, including action to recover civil damages and penalties.
Violations will normally be handled through the university disciplinary procedures applicable to the relevant user. For example, alleged violations by students will normally be investigated, and any penalties or other discipline will normally be imposed, by the Office of Student Affairs.
CUNY has the right to temporarily suspend computer use privileges and to remove from CUNY computer resources material it believes violates this policy, pending the outcome of an investigation of misuse or finding of violation. This power may be exercised only by the President of each college or the Chancellor.
Additional rules, policies, guidelines and/or restrictions may be in effect for specific computers, systems, or networks, or at specific computer facilities at the discretion of the directors of those facilities. Any such rules which potentially limit the privacy or confidentiality of electronic communications or information contained in or delivered by or over CUNY computer resources will be subject to the substantive and procedural safeguards provided by this policy.
CUNY shall not be responsible for any damages, costs or other liabilities of any nature whatsoever with regard to the use of CUNY computer resources. This includes, but is not limited to, damages caused by unauthorized access to CUNY computer resources, data loss, or other damages resulting from delays, non-deliveries, or service interruptions, whether or not resulting from circumstances under the CUNY's control.
Users receive and use information obtained through CUNY computer resources at their own risk. CUNY makes no warranties (expressed or implied) with respect to the use of CUNY computer resources. CUNY accepts no responsibility for the content of web pages or graphics that are linked from CUNY web pages, for any advice or information received by a user through use of CUNY computer resources, or for any costs or charges incurred by a user as a result of seeking or accepting such advice or information.
CUNY reserves the right to change this policy and other related policies at any time. CUNY reserves any rights and remedies that it may have under any applicable law, rule or regulation. Nothing contained in this policy will in any way act as a waiver of such rights and remedies.

]]>While we are very excited about changes from Windows XP to Vista, in order to fully support Vista there are many steps that we have to go through in order to ensure the highest standard of service for our members and all editions of Windows.
We are currently in the planning stages of testing this new release against all our supported applications. The same holds true for Internet Explorer 7 and Office 2007. Under the hood this is a major change for Microsoft, so we are taking a cautious approach to adopting this new Windows technology. We need to go through a normal evaluation cycle and consider this a longer term implementation.
New software from many vendors has historically not stabilized for at least 6-9 months after their release, and Microsoft is no exception. It is critical that we wait for the development cycle to run its course before we support this operating system.
Once we have verified that Vista is in a stable state, and that our network is ready to support that state, we will initiate support for the OS and notify the York College community.
In the meantime for any one of our members that has already invested in the new operating system we will support you on a best effort basis.

The head of the Southwest Florida Police Benevolent Association, Mick McHale, held a protest today, in front of City Hall, to call for more police officers or City Manager Bob Bartolotta's job. McHale was joined by about 60 current and retired Sarasota police officers.
There currently are 176 officers at the Sarasota Police Department. McHale said that is equivalent to 1987 staffing levels, and that, as a result, officers' lives are at risk and citizen safety is being compromised.
"We are undermanned and under siege," he said. "There are fewer officers to respond in times of need. Response time is down."
McHale placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of City Manager Bob Bartolotta and demanded that Bartolotta immediately hire at least 30 more police officers or resign.
"If he won't step up and make public safety a priority, maybe it's time for him to go somewhere else," McHale said.
Bartolotta did not speak directly to the demand, because negotiations on a new PBA contract with the city are expected to begin soon. The union's contract expires in September.
"The PBA has smart professionals," Bartolotta said. "I'm sure once we get to the negotiating table, we'll be able to come to an agreement."
The problem is purely an economic one, he said.
"(The PBA) is aware of the fiscal realities," Bartolotta said.
The city manager says he plans to present a balanced budget for 2010 without any layoffs, despite starting the budget process with $9 million less than last year.
During the past two years, there have been 125 positions cut citywide, 29 of them police positions, although all the cuts were through attrition.
McHale said he understands budget cuts, but said the police department should not be affected any further.
"You can't treat public safety the same as you do public works," McHale said.
Also attending the protest was a representative from the state PBA, Jim Spearing. He described a public campaign the union was going to wage to put pressure on elected officials.
Nearly 6,000 direct mailers will be sent to Sarasota citizens, which will explain the police staffing levels and its effect on the crime rate.
Said Spearing: "We're not going to quit. We will not settle for, 'We've got to do with what we've got.'"

A swath clear-cut through trees and brush greeted visitors to the Blackhand Trail and nearby Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve this week, leaving residents and authorities with a lot of questions.
The cutting was done by crews from Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners for an underground pipeline through Ohio that is the eastern leg of the 1,230-mile Appalachia-to-Texas (ATEX) Express line.
The cutting took out about 100 trees through property owned by Licking County resident Jerry Williams per an easement agreement with both parties. The swath is about 300 feet west of the state-owned property that encompasses much of the Blackhand Gorge preserve.
Most thought all of the Blackhand Trail was on state land and were shocked to see the clear-cut.
"The public perception is that the preserve follows that whole 4.6-mile stretch that the bike path follows," said Bill Weaver, founder of the nonprofit Friends of Blackhand Gorge.
Matt Eiselstein, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said in a statement, " At this time, it appears that a small tract of land owned by the state was impacted without permission. ODNR will now thoroughly examine this incident to determine a next course of action."
But Enterprise's "understanding is that the bike trail was granted as an easement to the state to provide them access but that they have no ownership or regulatory authority," company spokesman Rick Rainey said."
DNR has been part of the project all along," Rainey added. "We've spent months researching that particular piece of property, and we're confident we acted in accordance with our contract with the owner."
But that might not be Enterprise's only problem. On Wednesday, Gerald Newton, director of the Licking County Planning Commission, sent Enterprise project manager Tim Glass a letter stating that the cutting was a "major violation" of county floodplain regulations.
According to those regulations, a stream-bank buffer area of 100 feet must be maintained on each side of the Licking River. There are, however, exceptions, including underground utility crossings, provided that once the work is completed, "the buffer zone is restored to its pre-construction state."
"We can't get the trees back up, but we can get some restoration work done," Newton said. " And, thinking outside the box a little, maybe we can do better, like construct a viewing platform where people can watch bald eagles. This part of the river is a popular feeding spot."
Once completed, the ATEX Express pipeline will stretch from Washington, Pa., to Seymour, Ind., where it will connect to the rest of the pipeline to the Gulf of Mexico.
The pipeline will carry ethane, a natural-gas byproduct used to make plastics.
Pipeline construction is scheduled to begin in early April, according to Rainey, which could inhibit use of the bike path temporarily. Service through the pipeline is expected sometime early next year.

DIY E-Books
At the press of a button, convert the tried-and-trusted POD format for Perl documentation to the digital Mobi format for the Kindle and a wide variety of mobile devices running the Kindle app.
It is hardly surprising that articles for my Perl column all originate as manuscripts in POD format (Figure 1). After all, this documentation format, which has been tried and trusted for decades, is easy to type and read, and a number of tools exist for easy conversions: to HTML, to man pages, to LaTeX – and hence to PDF or PostScript – or to the format required by the Linux Magazine editorial staff [2]. Thanks to the CPAN EBook::MOBI module, it is even possible to generate Mobi files from POD and publish home-grown material as e-books for Kindle reading devices and apps.

Great fresh flavor. Not overpowering, but not too mild. Great added flavor in sauces and soups. Really adds to tuna salad and potato salad. Also use on pork and beef when roasting. Referred to as "salt" but does not have salty taste.

I know that this thread has been done many times but it's maybe time for a refresh. Just make a list of all war games you still have and play. Not the past ones yourr'e not playing anymore. Tell us what game you enjoy the most and why? Here's mine: -Battlefield 2 Multiplayer Online -Call of duty 1 -Hidden & Dangerous 2 -Brothers in arms : Earned in blood -Heavy fire : Afghanistan -Boiling point -Battlefield 1942 : The complete collection -Sniper : Ghost warrior My favorite is Battlefield 2 Multiplayer Online because it's still playable well on my older setup and there's a lot of situations that always change.
Games I always install: •Medal of Honor Allied Assault and Spearhead (great old games that got me into pc gaming) •CoD 4 (for occcasional CoD fix) •CoD 5 (for nazi zombies) •BF3 (haven't played it in a while; I always get worked over) Not sure if BF3 is too new to list but whatevs
There's nothing wrong with new or older games as long as you currently have them installed in your computer.
Never cared for this genre and probably never will. But Command & Conquer: Renegade will always have a special place in my head.
I play across platforms, so ON Play Station 1,2,3 & PSP i still play Metal Gear Solid 1, PS1 Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons Of Liberty, PS2 Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater, PS3 Metal Gear Solid Portable OPS, PSP Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of The Patriots, PS3 Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, PSP Black, PS2 On PC Ghost Recon Future Soldier My favorite is the Metal Gear Solid Series/Franchise It has the best cinematic and story telling/story line, the best game play experience, plus its the best tactical/stealth game ever made and it has boss battles too which i enjoy very much, very nice sense of progression in the game.
Battlefield 3 World in Conflict Hearts of Iron 3 Victoria 2 Real Warfare 1242 Shogun 2: Total War Battlestations - Pacific Supreme Ruler - Cold War Sins of a Solar Empire Trinity Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
You sir have great taste in games Not sure if this is genre specific but here goes.... - BF3 - Starcraft II - Supreme Commander 2 - Warhammer 40K series - Bad Company 2 - BF 1943 (PS3) - Empire Earth - Starhawk (PS3) Great game They are the games I am currently playing
At least one of the best in my book! My list: BF3 BF2BC + Naam MoH:A Supreme Commander + Forged Alliance (best strategy game IMO)
Gonna upgrade for a cheap DDR3 videocard. I think its useless to go for a DDR5 since the cpu will bottleneck future games and I'm not planning any other upgrades.
bf3- cus it has taken my soul CSS - played competitively and still not over it CSGO - just cus i got a free key bfbc2 - its what got me hooked on the battlefield games

Posted: Feb 1, 2013 10:38 AM by Associated Press
Updated: Feb 1, 2013 1:39 PM
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (AP) - The standoff between police and a gunman accused of holding a kindergartner hostage in an underground bunker dragged into a fourth day on Friday, as authorities sought to continue delicate conversations with the man through a pipe and worked to safely end the tense situation.
The gunman shot a school bus driver to death Tuesday, grabbed a 5-year-old boy off the bus and slipped into an underground bunker on his property in rural Alabama, police said. There were signs the standoff could go on for some time: the shelter has electricity, food, TV, and police have delivered the boy's medication through a 4-inch-wide ventilation pipe leading to the bunker.
Hostage negotiators have used the pipe to talk to the gunman, identified by neighbors as Jimmy Lee Dykes, but investigators have been tightlipped about their conversations.
Former FBI hostage negotiator Clint Van Zandt said authorities at the scene shouldn't rush to resolve the standoff as long as they are confident that the boy is unharmed. He cautioned against any drastic measures, such as cutting the electricity or putting sleep gas inside the bunker because it could agitate Dykes.
The negotiator should try to ease Dykes' anxieties over what will happen when the standoff ends, and refer to both the boy and Dykes by their first names to humanize them.
"I want to give him a reason to come out," Van Zandt said, "and my reason is, 'You didn't mean that to happen. It was unintentional. It could have happened to anyone. It was an accident. People have accidents, Jimmy Lee. It's not that big a thing. You and I can work that out.'"
The shelter was about 4 feet underground, with about 6-by-8 feet of floor space and the PVC pipe that negotiators were speaking through, said James Arrington, police chief of the neighboring town of Pinckard.
"He will have to give up sooner or later because (authorities) are not leaving," Arrington said. "It's pretty small, but he's been known to stay in there eight days."
Midland City Mayor Virgil Skipper said he has been briefed by law enforcement agents and has visited with the boy's parents.
"He's crying for his parents," he said. "They are holding up good. They are praying and asking all of us to pray with them."
Republican Rep. Steve Clouse, who represents the Midland City area, said he visited the boy's mother Thursday and that she is "hanging on by a thread."
"Everybody is praying with her for the boy," he said.
Clouse said the mother told him that the boy has Asperger's syndrome, an autism-like disorder, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Police have been delivering medication to him through the pipe, he added.
The normally quiet red clay road leading to the bunker was teemed Friday with more than a dozen police cars and trucks, a fire truck, a helicopter, officers from multiple agencies and news media near Midland City, population 2,300.
Police vehicles have come and gone steadily for hours from the command post, a small church taken over for that use
Early Friday, activity picked up when a team in military-style uniforms, many toting weapons, got out of a big van in the pre-dawn chill and moved into a staging area. One appeared to be dog handler.
Dykes was known around the neighborhood as a menacing figure who neighbors said once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.
The chief confirmed that Dykes held anti-government views, as described by multiple neighbors: "He's against the government - starting with Obama on down."
"He doesn't like law enforcement or the government telling him what to do," he said. "He's just a loner."
No motive has been discussed by investigators, but the police chief said the FBI had evidence suggesting it could be considered a hate crime. Federal authorities have not released any details about the standoff or the investigation. The mayor said he hasn't seen anything tying together Dykes' anti-government views and the allegations against him.
Authorities said the gunman boarded a stopped school bus filled with children on Tuesday afternoon and demanded two boys between 6 and 8 years old. When the driver tried to block his way, the gunman shot him several times and took the 5-year-old boy.
The bus driver, Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66, was hailed by locals as a hero who gave his life to protect the pupils on his bus.
The school bus remained parked on the dirt road, and trooper spokesman Kevin Cook said investigators were in it collecting evidence Friday.
Dykes had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to answer charges he shot at his neighbors in a dispute last month over a speed bump. Neighbor Claudia Davis said he yelled and fired shots at her, her son and her baby grandson over damage Dykes claimed their pickup truck did to a makeshift speed bump in the dirt road. No one was hurt.
The son, James Davis Jr., believes Tuesday's shooting was connected to the court date. "I believe he thought I was going to be in court and he was going to get more charges than the menacing, which he deserved, and he had a bunch of stuff to hide and that's why he did it."
Neighbors described a number of other run-ins with Dykes in the time since he moved to this small rural town near the Georgia and Florida borders, a region known for peanut farming.
A neighbor directly across the street, Brock Parrish, said Dykes usually wore overalls and glasses and his posture was hunched-over. He said Dykes usually drove a run-down "creeper" van with some of the windows covered in aluminum foil.
Parrish often saw him digging in his yard, as if he was preparing to lay down a driveway or building foundation. He lived in a small camping trailer there and patrolled his lawn at night, walking from corner to corner with a flashlight and a long gun.
Court records showed Dykes was arrested in Florida in 1995 for improper exhibition of a weapon, but the misdemeanor was dismissed. The circumstances of the arrest were not detailed in his criminal record. He was also arrested for marijuana possession in 2000.

There have been lots of predictions for 2012 and few, if any, deliver any sense of optimism. Casting my mind back, I recall that this time last year we had hoped for good things to come in the area of sustainable construction.
Out of the new coalition, with its Liberal Democrat green credentials, eventually arrived the Green Construction Board. Unfortunately, perhaps due to its late formation, we did not see much progress in 2011, and to be frank after reading the coverage in this magazine last week I believe that there is depressingly little desire at the top of government to make much happen this year either.
To be frank, I believe that there is depressingly little desire at the top of government to make much happen this year
I am not blaming the Green Construction Board. I applied to join their ranks myself last summer. I too was swept along with the apparent enthusiasm of ministerial advisers with high ideals, but seemingly low authority. There are some good people on the board, although I note it still lacks a professional working cost manager. The problem lies much further up the ministerial food chain. I think the mindset in the Treasury regarding sustainability issues in our sector is less towards supporting a new Green Construction Board and more epitomised by an attitude that says "Green Construction …? Bored!"
I am sure others share this view. I recently had a chat with Jonathon Porritt, one-time chair of the Green Party, as well as being a non-executive director of contractor Willmott Dixon. A man who you would imagine knows a few things about sustainability, the green agenda and its impact on construction. He confided that he would have been happy to assist the Green Construction Board, had he been asked. Other eco celebrities spring to mind, such as Tim Smit from the Eden Project in Cornwall or David Attenborough. Surely it would have been sensible for Her Majesty's government to employ some of these high-profile green opinion formers to help shape policy for one of its most significant industrial sectors. Without the involvement of big names to help to create impetus, as well as headlines, some might see the "green" board as nothing more than a red herring.
However I suspect that no one wants to upset the chancellor, who has moved eco issues to the bottom of his wish list. At the last Conservative party conference, George Osborne declared defiantly that "we are not going to save the planet by putting our country out of business". After this declaration, the U-turns kicked in faster than a ride at Alton Towers.
The mandatory introduction of display energy certificates all but disappeared and is now "under review". The shock cut in feed-in tariffs immediately meant 4,500 employees at Carillion's solar division had a miserable and worrying Christmas, having been put on notice. There are now grim predictions for the future of other contractors in this sector.
Without the involvement of big names to help to create impetus, as well as headlines, some might see the 'green' board as nothing more than a red herring
Then at the end of last year we had the release of the Green Deal, through which the government wants to reduce utility bills and cut emissions at no cost to itself. It was a 238-page paper, had £14bn worth of proposals and was soon backed by an apparent £200m of investment and incentives. The plan wants to encourage private companies to meet the cost of up-front activity to make homes more energy efficient and reduce their carbon footprint. All sounds good, but the support has been muted at best.
I have yet to see a definitive reaction from the Green Construction Board to these proposals and I am not sure as to its level of input into the Green Deal. Perhaps it is not in its purview to do either. If it was not consulted, perhaps it should have been.
For not everyone is impressed with the Green Deal, and other plans affecting things such as improvements in loft and cavity wall insulation. The year closed with the chair of the Climate Change Committee, Lord Turner, criticising the government for the lack of ambition in its use of limited funds. Furthermore, conservationists such as the Institute of Historic Building Conservation point out that the new proposals for enhanced insulation won't work in a good deal of the UK's older housing stock and may in fact be harmful. It reportedly describes the Green Deal as "seriously flawed".
It may be that 2012 is the year our industry is feted for its work on the Olympics, but somehow I don't think it will be allowed to even approach the starting blocks in the race for global eco supremacy.

I believe Mr Steer is absolutely correct in regard to his concerns about enthusiasm towards the Green Deal. In principle the 'Green Deal' is a very exciting and positive scheme that should be supported and encouraged, however there are still some key concerns that need to be addressed if the scheme is to be the success it could be.
The 'Green Deal' is a framework to enable private firms to offer consumers energy efficiency improvements for their homes, community spaces and businesses at no upfront cost, and recoup payments through ongoing charges on energy bills.
The financing mechanism allows consumers to pay back through their energy bills. This means consumers will offset the 'Green Deal' cost against the savings in energy use and therefore savings on their bill. It also means that if they move out and cease to be the bill-payer at that property, the financial obligation doesn't move with them but moves to the next bill payer of the property in question. The charge is only paid whilst the benefits are enjoyed.
There are a number of important consumer protections which will be embedded into the Green Deal. The most important of these are:
1. The expected financial savings must be equal to or greater than the costs attached to the energy bill. This is known as "the golden rule" of the Green Deal.
2. The measures must be approved and the claimed bill savings must be those accredited through this process.
3. The measures installed must have been recommended for that property by an accredited, objective adviser who has carried out an assessment.
Whilst the 'Green Deal' is arguably the most proactive piece of domestic green legislation to date, there are some key concerns:
1. Large providers (energy companies and contractors) will provide assessments free of charge or at a low rate such that truly independent specialists cannot compete. Therefore any claims that this new scheme will result in mass new employment and or the opportunity for Surveyors and Architects to diversify should be taken with a large pinch of salt.
2. With nearly all assessments being completed by representatives of accredited 'Green Deal' providers and/or installers (as is predicted), there is a very real concern that this will result in a lack of independent/impartial advice to the consumer. There may be huge pressure for assessors who are employed by accredited 'Green Deal' providers to promote products and or measures that will be most profitable for the installer (and/or provider) and not those that are necessarily the best or most cost effective for the consumer.
3. With companies competing to provide the initial assessments to the consumer as cheaply as possible (or even free of charge) there is a risk that the quality of the assessments may suffer, and a 'one size fits all' approach is adopted by many assessors.
4. There may also be a huge difference between the final performance of an upgraded home and the initial predictions, with many homes not seeing the energy bill savings predicted.
5. Customers will not sign up if the interest rate is too high or the repayment system too complex.
Richard Lloyd, executive director, 'Which?' is quoted as saying:
"Unless people are offered a good deal that they can trust and understand, it's difficult to imagine them flocking to take up Green Deal measures. They won't if the interest rate is too high or the predicted energy bill savings don't materialise. The government's latest consultation does little to put our minds at rest, as the energy department's own consumer research found that only a small number of people expressed a strong interest and many felt the annual cost savings were simply too small to make it worth their while... We want assessments that are personalised, accurate and genuinely impartial"
Jonathan Braddick
Is #4 in your list a real concern? If I buy a car that's marketing as being able to deliver 48mpg, I do not get upset when it only delivers 32mpg. Instead, I accept that there's a difference between how the mpg test was carried out and how I drive the car on real roads. I don't go back to my car finance company and expect a refund on the extra-over fuel bill.
Hi Carol
I think point 4 is a real concern. If there is a huge difference between the final performance of an upgraded home and the initial predictions, with many homes not seeing the energy bill savings predicted, it would break the 'golden rule' of the Green Deal that says to consumers that they would never pay more per month on the loan than the amount saved on their energy bills.
Richard Lloyd has been quoted as saying:
"The Golden Rule was supposed to reassure people that Green Deal repayments would not exceed the savings made on energy bills. But if this is based on average figures then it could be meaningless for many."
If this concern is not addressed it may result in little uptake of the Green Deal or worse, result in those people, who live in the oldest and least insulated housing stock, and who are therefore hardest hit by the rise in fuel prices and face real fuel poverty, being effectively miss-sold a loan that they cannot afford to repay.

Which pages are in which folders and how many clicks the folders are from each other and the root directory?
Thanks in advance guys!

It does something similar but not in giving you a visual representation in the form of a family tree like structure.
I hope to find something that can do this.

I'll look into that solution you posted and hopefully the trial allows you to make use of it to export the created file, it's kind of a expensive solution for me personally.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Posted 05 October 2007 - 08:50 AM
Hopefully i can find a more basic and affordable solution, should i find something I'll post it as well.
Suggestions are still welcome of course

Below is a URL to an article explaining the theory. The article deals with how to use it for tree-structured navigation menus in PHP/MySQL, so I don't think the application of it is what you're looking for, but the theory can apply in any tree mapping situation so it may give you some other avenues to explore if you're still looking.

p.s. this link URL is broken up with spaces to stop it from turning into a link, how do I add a URL without it turning into a link and without having to break it up with spaces?
Posted 05 October 2007 - 01:39 PM
Just skip the "http://". That's the forum software's signal that what follows is to be a link.

Hey SERPico
MS Frontpage actually does this - although not very in-depth (as it could be), the visual I get from my site or pages (broken links, etc.) is nice and allows for editing right from the graphic... I like the feature, and it does what you seek.
Posted 06 October 2007 - 06:48 AM
I need some sort of software that can spider your site and map it all out in a clear and visual presentation.
I will check that out Hyperperformance

Portugal The country best known for Port, Madeira and corks is often overlooked when consumers think of red and white still wines - but take note! The table wines of the region have improved dramatically in the past few decades.

A Proust Questionnaire is an inquiry into one's personality. Its name and modern popularity as a form of interview is owed to the responses given by the French writer Marcel Proust. Inspired by the popularity and quirkiness of Vanity Fair's Proust Questionnaire, the editors of Artspace composed one to reveal another side of their favorite artists. Our twentieth artist is Brandon Boyd — artist, lead singer of Incubus, and an Artspace guest curator — whose favorite art space is his kitchen table.

Tranquebar beach - Skywatch Friday
Tranquebar or Tarangambadi as its called today was once a Danish colony , nestled in the Coromandel coast of India. Walking around the old fort, I could see the view of the beautiful beach from the windows. The fishermen had just finished their early morning catch and their boats bordered the shore..

Patients with SM typically present with a constellation of signs andsymptoms that vary considerably from individual to individual. Theheterogeneous manifestations of this disease reflect both the ubiquitous natureof mast cells in the body and the numerous mast cell mediators and theireffects. Cutaneous signs often appear first and usually are consistent withurticaria pigmentosa (figure 1); patients present with complaints of pruritisand flushing, and a skin biopsy will reveal an increase in the number of mastcells in the dermis. Hyperpigmented lesions that exhibit the "wheal andflare" reaction when disturbed also are a common dermatologic sign.Complaints of nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting indicate gastrointestinalinvolvement. An increased number of mast cells in the bones will be manifestedby symptoms of bone and joint pain.
Radiographic findings can be helpful in the diagnosis of SM and also intracking the progression of the disease. A cardinal sign of SM is the presenceof osteoporosis and osteosclerosis in the skeletal system. These dichotomoussigns can appear in both the axial and apendicular skeleton and can be due to avariety of different mechanisms. Heparin and prostaglandins released by themast cells activate osteoclasts to reabsorb bone, a process which can progressto osteoporosis.1 Figure 2 demonstrates the possibility of tibial involvement.In this instance, the decrease in bone density is particularly prominent in thecortices, and-as often seen in osteoporosis-there has been anincrease in the medullary cavity without change in the diameter of the boneshaft. Conversely, histamine released by mast cells promotes osteoblasticactivity, leading to osteosclerosis; such sclerosis can be diffuse or focal(figure 3) in distribution. Although the figures seen here may suggest thatareas of increased bone density are segregated from areas of osteopenia, thesetwo pathological changes in bone can coexist in adjacent areas. In figure 4,the lower vertebrae have diffuse osteosclerosis, while the upper vertebraeexhibit signs of osteoporosis.
Gastrointestinal manifestations of SM are diverse and can be visualizedusing a variety of radiographic techniques. Avila et al used CT and ultrasoundto demonstrate such common abdominal imaging findings associated with systemicmastocytosis as hepatomegaly, retroperitoneal adenopathy, periportaladenopathy, mesenteric adenopathy, thickening of the omentum and the mesentery,and ascites.2
Barium GI study may be useful in revealing additional evidence of GIinvolvement. The presence of thickened, nodular irregular folds in the smallbowel often are seen with SM (figure 5). This sign may reflect mast cellinfiltration of the lamina propria, although some studies have showed thatbiopsies of such nodules predominantly revealed lymphocytes and plasma cells,and showed few mast cells.3 Because histamine released by mast cells can causean increase in gastric acid secretion, ulcers develop in many patients with SM(figure 6).
It is important to recognize that, individually, most of these radiographicsigns are not specific to mastocytosis. That is, taken alone, the interplay ofosteoporosis and osteosclerosis in the skeletal system could easily beindicative of mixed metastatic disease instead of mastocytosis; the duodenalulcer could just as likely be due to Helicobacter pylori infection as it is toexcessive histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion. It is the completeconstellation of signs in the patients presented here that gave a clue to thediagnosis of SM. However, as this full array of radiographic signs may not bepresent in all SM patients, additional studies such as skin biopsies often arenecessary to complete the diagnosis.

Got food questions? We've got answers
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.

When my family gets together, they quiz me about food and nutrition. They've come up with some great food questions over the years. I thought I'd share a few with you.
Q: Why do beans cause gas?
A: Beans produce gas because they contain the natural indigestible sugars called oligosaccharides. In the large intestine, bacteria ferment the sugars and gas is formed.
Q: Why does soaking beans make them more digestible?
A: Soaking beans releases an enzyme that, along with the water, helps break down the oligosaccharides, making them more digestible. Therefore, fewer oligosaccharides reach the intestine, and less gas is produced.
Q: Why does powdered sugar — but not granulated sugar — clump when you add it to coffee?
A: Most powdered sugar contains cornstarch, which when added to coffee can form a gooey clump. Granulated sugar doesn't contain starch — so it doesn't clump.
Q: Why do pasta recipes recommend adding salt to the cooking water?
A: Tradition has more to do with this than anything else. It is commonly believed that pasta will cook faster because salt increases the temperature at which water boils. From a chemistry standpoint this is true. However, if you add 1 tablespoon of salt (way too much) to 5 quarts of water, you only increase the boiling point of water by 7/100th of 1 degree. Not enough to shorten cooking time.
Q: Whatever happened to cod liver oil?
A: Years ago parents gave their children cod liver oil to stave off rickets and night blindness caused by deficiencies in vitamins A and D. One tablespoon of cod liver oil contains 13,600 International Units (IU) of vitamin A and 1,360 IU of vitamin D. The upper limits are 10,000 IU for vitamin A and 4,000 IU for vitamin D. So, cod liver oil fell out of favor because of concerns about possible vitamin toxicity. Cod liver oil is making a resurgence, however, as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which is thought to have benefits for heart health.

America's asking and we are opening up our mailbox and the website taking your questions.
Republican presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum.
The senator is joining us now from Iowa right senator.
From Pella -- it's great to -- -- good to have you with -- thanks for being with -- I want to ask you first about the the controversy engulfing the -- campaign.
These are you know.
Separating yourself from another candidate is what this campaign is all about you have been critical of him in the past for his stance on abortion.
Are you defending him now.
Blob I you know I don't know all the facts don't think we know all the facts yet -- what I what -- can say is that.
You know there is there's something to be said for having a candidate in the race to who has been in front of the national public guy who's got the scrutiny and I've run 55 races and three statewide races in Pennsylvania and been under the national spotlight and have had to answer all the questions and all the issues that had done a background look at all of those things and you know there's there's -- there's a disadvantage to that because you're not new -- not fresh in some respects and in the sense that your new person not on the scene.
But there's an advantage that you've been tested and that and he's been able to weather those storms and now I've we've all had our difficulties with.
With issues and they tell you whether those that really will make will make the measure of the candidates.
You have said the government benefits should not go to people who enter this country illegally is that essentially directed at Rick Perry.
Well now let's say it's been my position.
Had a consistent voting record -- I was -- United States senate not voting for.
For benefits for people who are here -- like -- the son of an immigrant.
My father came to this country with my grandfather when he was it like my dad was a -- There were no government benefits even for illegals.
In this country they came because America and America was enough.
That was enough to have the opportunity the freedom to be here and to be able to pursue your dreams and and that's what I what I'm saying is that let you know let's let's go let's go back to the up to the the idea that we can come to this country.
Participate in the and -- in the great opportunities that America provides.
That should be enough for for people and not provided extra benefits particularly if you're not here legally.
You've said that there should be no corporate tax for companies that make things here in America.
How do you pay for -- -- Well you pay for -- because you're gonna bring a lot -- manufacturing jobs back to this country and now you're gonna have all sorts of salaries and and and the multiplier effect more for manufacturing larger.
Than any other sector of the economy.
The other thing is that they they've manufacturers pay a lot more there.
About 20000 dollar difference between a manufacturing job in America.
And other all the other jobs out there so what you're talking about here is is really re energizing made in America bringing the bringing the opportunities for those who.
Who create products and there's still a lot of innovation going on in this country.
But the products of that innovation aren't made here and that means that money that is that is really being made at the top end of the income scale isn't trickling down to the workers.
And this is a real opportunity for us just to get those workers and solid employment.
And you'll see this economy -- what -- -- tax revenues.
Question on foreign policy from a viewer named Paul Abbas wants to know it seems that Pakistan is sharing nuclear bomb info with Syria that's one of the headlines today.
What would you do this office.
Well they'll look we we have we've got a a real parting of the ways and sports -- this administration with Pakistan.
And you know this is this is a very critical ally.
We've done some things to Pakistan for example with respect to sourcing of products and -- things going on within the within Afghanistan.
That have gone primarily to India they haven't been -- into the Pakistani economy.
We've done some things -- to strain that relationship and frankly they dumps it thinks it's radars.
And that we need to repair that relationship.
-- to have a lot more cooperation between our military and our intelligence services.
-- -- -- things don't happen -- obviously if this is the case.
You know it's another stress of this relationship but.
We have to repair this relationship it's not want.
That we can -- to go live to go to -- Pakistan as a nuclear weapon there's a lot of Bob lot of concern about.
-- growing not islamists is nation and in the in the for the body politic there and we can't let that happen under I'm under our -- or the next one.
Take captain wants to know this if you were elected president would you undo the executive orders.
The President Obama has been issuing of -- I -- -- you know that the president has it's so funny in the last election.
The the president -- Obama was thrilling President Bush were for all of his imperial presidency and using executive order sent.
I he's making he's making book look like and it bush look like amateur what it comes to executive orders and and and just doing things that are counter to up for example not enforcing the defense of marriage act and not even.
Even try even bringing they the case to court and defended it in court.
I mean he is is really abused the power of the presidency.
And and I I believe that we should not have SARS we should have these these executive orders that bypass the congress -- things that are clearly.
Under congressional purview and I would repeal those and not eliminate.
I was dog eyes tell everybody that there at the top but -- -- last and I can make that place because we're not gonna have a he's ours and -- -- senator Rick San.
-- former senator from Pennsylvania Rick Santorum now running obviously for the Republican nomination good to have you on thanks for joining us today happening now.
Thanks -- my pledge for the rest.
