The term out-of-band has different uses in communications and telecommunication. In case of out-of-band control signaling, signaling bits are sent in special order in a dedicated signaling frame. D-channel in ISDN is an example of out-of-band and CCS signaling methods.
The word band originates from the term band as used in radio and other electronic communications.
General usage[edit]
In general language, out-of-band refers to communications which occur outside of a previously established communication method or channel.
Here are two very simple, but illustrative, examples:
- A person is involved in a discussion with a group of people. During the discussion, he decides that some information is best kept between himself and one other member of the group, exclusively, such as by whispering or sending an electronic text message – whether for privacy reasons, or merely the need to avoid saturating the entire group with information they do not need. His communication with that individual may be considered out-of-band, relative to the group discussion as a whole.
- A person is at his place of work, and he is communicating with someone outside of his work place (for example, by Internet or telephone, using his employer's computer or telephone equipment). He decides that key parts of his conversation are best kept private from his employer, such as if he were discussing plans to change jobs. He would use his personal cell phone to transmit sensitive messages to, and receive related messages from, his external contact, to avoid use of his employer's phone or computer network. In this situation, his personal cell phone communications are considered out-of-band, relative to the main conversation method.
Out-of-band communication is the exchange of call control information in a separate band from the data or voice stream, or on an entirely separate, dedicated channel (as in Common Channel Signaling).
For example, out-of-band Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling sends tones entered using the telephone keypad separately from the voice stream, in RTP packets.
In computer networking, out-of-band data (called "urgent data" in TCP) looks — to the application — like a separate stream of data from the main data stream. This can be useful for separating two different kinds of data. Just because it is called "urgent data" does not mean that it will be delivered any faster or with higher priority than in-band data. Also, unlike the main data stream, the out-of-band data may be lost if the application cannot keep up with it. "Urgent data" notifies the receiving connection that the separate stream is more important than the main stream. Therefore it must first check the separate stream in order to process the main stream normally.
On Unix-like computers, out-of-band data can be read with the recv() system call. A process or process group can be configured to receive SIGURG signals when out-of-band data is available for reading on a socket, by using the F_SETOWN command of the fcntl() system call. This is a form of asynchronous I/O.
In computer administration, out-of-band management refers to system console access provided, even in the event of primary network subsystem (hard and/or software) failure. This can be done via a console server or with a remote access card (RAC) which has its own processor, memory, battery, network connection, and access to the system bus.
In personal communications, methods other than e-mail (such as telephone or snail-mail) are sometimes called "out-of-band".[1]
When issuing unscheduled patches, e.g., major patches that aren't released on Patch Tuesday, Microsoft refers to these patches as "out of band." However, these patches are still delivered via the same channels through which scheduled patches are delivered, not via a separate channel (or "band") as their use of the phrase might suggest.
Out-of-band can also be referred to add-on features that are released separately from a product's main release cycle. For example, an internal software application is released by a company's IT department, but some custom reports might then be released as a follow-on outside this release cycle.
In authentication, out-of-band refers to utilizing two separate networks or channels, one of which being different from the primary network or channel, simultaneously used to communicate between two parties or devices for identifying a user. A cellular network is commonly used for out-of-band authentication. An example of out-of-band authentication is when an online banking user is accessing their online bank account with a login and a one time password is sent to their mobile phone via SMS to identify them. The primary channel would be the online login screen where the user enters their login information and the second separate channel would be the cellular network. This added layer of security prevents the likelihood of hackers and malware from compromising access to the complete authentication process. However, this method of authenticating a user is known to be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.

NH's past: Just leave it to Hollywood
At this month's town election, Kingston voters rejected a proposal to spend $150,000 to save the 179-year-old, publicly owned Grace Daley house on Main Street. Rather than spend the money, they voted for demolition. The house is a goner, but its pieces might be given renewed life by a California actor turned preservationist.
Bronson Pinchot, most famous for playing the character Balki in the 1980s TV show "Perfect Strangers" and Serge in the Beverly Hills Cop movies, has a cable TV show in which he salvages pre-1840s buildings. When a fan brought the Grace Daley house to his attention, he contacted the town about using it for his show.
Pinchot carefully disassembles old buildings and reuses their parts. As he said in an interview with the Union Leader last week, "you admire the workmanship and you honor it."
That is something done less and less in New Hampshire. There are numerous examples. To cite only a few, in 2006 Manchester razed its oldest standing firehouse. In 2011, the State Employees Association bought a beautiful Concord home built in 1802 and tore it down. In January, the owners of the Balsams Grand Resort, having no use for one of the original buildings, burned it down.
The attitude expressed by SEA president Diana Lacey in 2011 is more prevalent than it should be. "We're interested in the property. We're not interested in the building," she told Concord's Demolition Review Committee.
Who really is interested in old buildings these days? They're so... old. All that creaky wood and warped glass, those narrow stairwells and drafty doorways. Modern is the way to go. And it is the way New Hampshire is going. Without looking back. Just light the match and walk away, looking ever forward, ever forward.

Editor's Note: This story referenced in the March 2009 column "50, 100, 150 Years Ago" was originally published in the March 1959 issue of Scientific American. For more on Darwin, see our tribute on his 200th birthday. For an update on the experiments described here, see an entry in Panda's Thumb.
Charles Darwin's Origin of Species, the centenary of which we celebrate in 1959, was the fruit of 26 years of laborious accumulation of facts from nature. Others before Darwin had believed in evolution, but he alone produced a cataclysm of data in support of it. Yet there were two fundamental gaps in his chain of evidence. First, Darwin had no knowledge of the mechanism of heredity. Second, he had no visible example of evolution at work in nature.
It is a curious fact that both of these gaps could have been filled during Darwin's lifetime. Although Gregor Mendel's laws of inheritance were not discovered by the community of biologists until 1900, they had first been published in 1866. And before Darwin died in 1882, the most striking evolutionary change ever witnessed by man was taking place around him in his own country.
The change was simply this. Less than a century ago moths of certain species were characterized by their light coloration, which matched such backgrounds as light tree trunks and lichen-covered rocks, on which the moths passed the daylight hours sitting motionless. Today in many areas the same species are predominantly dark! We now call this reversal "industrial melanism."
It happens that Darwin's lifetime coincided with the first great man-made change of environment on earth. Ever since the Industrial Revolution commenced in the latter half of the 18th century, large areas of the earth's surface have been contaminated by an insidious and largely unrecognized fallout of smoke particles. In and around industrial areas the fallout is measured in tons per square mile per month; in places like Sheffield in England it may reach 50 tons or more. It is only recently that we have begun to realize how widely the lighter smoke particles are dispersed, and to what extent they affect the flora and fauna of the countryside.
In the case of the flora the smoke particles not only pollute foliage but also kill vegetative lichens on the trunks and boughs of trees. Rain washes the pollutants down the boughs and trunks until they are bare and black. In heavily polluted districts rocks and the very ground itself are darkened.
Now in England there are some 760 species of larger moths. Of these more than 70 have exchanged their light color and pattern for dark or even all-black coloration. Similar changes have ocCUlTed in the moths of industrial areas of other countries: France Germany Poland, Czechoslovakia, Canada and the U.S. So far, however, such changes have not been observed anywhere in the tropics. It is important to note here that industrial melanism has occurred only among those moths that fly at night and spend the day resting against a background such as a tree trunk.
These, then, are the facts. A profound change of color has occurred among hundreds of species of moths in industrial areas in different parts of the world. How has the change come about? What underlying laws of nature have produced it? Has it any connection with one of the normal mechanisms by which one species evolves into another?
In 1926 the British biologist Heslop Harrison reported that the industrial melanism of moths was caused by a special substance which he alleged was present in polluted air. He called this substance a "melanogen," and suggested that it was manganous sulfate or lead nitrate. Harrison claimed that when he fed foliage impregnated with these salts to the larvae of certain species of lightcolored moths, a proportion of their offspring were black. He also stated that this "induced melanism" was inherited according to the laws of Mendel.

Writing life-inspired novels in my retirement, and living in gratitude with The Man (how does one EVER retire from being a psychologist???)
Retirement is a delicious time in life; it gives us the gift of owning our time. It is also a time to reflect about what the journey is all about, and pass on beleifs and inspirations (some may call it wisdom; my kids don't) to the world - from the closest and near and dear to our hearts, to strangers in all corners of the world - with ebooks.
In short: I have moved from being a transmitter of knowledge (as in being a lecturer and author of various texbooks), to telling a good story without references and totally subjectively (being a fiction writer).
But once a psychologist, always a psychologist, I guess...
My first novel TURQUOISE, inspired by life experiences, is out. It is a passionate love story. The second, EMERALD, is in the making. It is about remaining in loving with the beloved.

FORT WORTH -- Convicted murderer Frank Byrd was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday for killing Hilary Eaton, a 39-year-old mother of three.
The jury deliberated a little more than an hour before sentencing Byrd, 34, of Haltom City.He was found guilty Friday after the jury deliberated nearly eight hours over two days.His possible sentence ranged from 15 years to life in prison, according to state District Judge Scott Wisch. "This is a senseless murder," prosecutor Sheila Wynn told the jury during closing arguments. "This man was involved in an argument and he couldn't control his temper."Byrd's attorney, David Pearson, agreed."This was a methamphetamine-fueled argument where no one had the rational thought to say, 'Why are we arguing about this?'" Pearson said. "'I can just walk out of the door.'"Eaton's three sons said they will never forgive Byrd for killing their mother, who they said clawed her way out of homelessness and begin her own housecleaning business."You stole from us and anybody who has ever met her and cared about her," son Steven Eaton said during victim impact statements. "Now she's gone and all that's left is a haunting memory. You should have never been allowed to do this to me. I just hope the rest of your life is as miserable as you've made ours."Wynn told the jury about the escalation of Byrd's criminal history, from juvenile convictions to misdemeanor offenses to convictions for aggravated assault and aggravated sexual assault of a child in 1996.He spent 15 years in prison for those convictions. Vickie McCullough, Byrd's mother, testified Friday that she and her son faced challenges, Wynn said.But McCullough faced her drug addition, got counseling and stayed on medications that helped her turn her life around, Wynn told the jury.Byrd's mother did not allow her addiction to turn her toward crime and acts of aggression, Wynn said."It's part of the picture, but it's not an excuse and it does not justify murder," Wynn said. "How many more victims are there going to be?"Eaton was found dead Jan. 7 in her home in the 1300 block of Kings Highway on the Haltom City-Fort Worth border. Byrd's former girlfriend, Nora Price, 33, testified that Byrd had not slept for days because he was high on methamphetamine when he shot Eaton during an argument Jan. 4.The argument ensued after Eaton told Byrd and his girlfriend to get out of her house, Price testified. While they gathered their belongings, Byrd pointed a .22-caliber rifle at Eaton and said he was going to "smoke her." Eaton dared him to pull the trigger, and Byrd shot her in the head, Price testified.Pearson, the defense attorney, encouraged the jury to consider Byrd's history while determining his sentence. Despite his mother's attempts, Byrd did not respond to treatment, Pearson said.Byrd had trouble while growing up and as an adult, said Caroline Kim, who helped prosecute the case."Some people, we have to put them in a place where they can no longer hurt others," Kim said.Have more to add?

Located in the front of the neck below the Adam's apple, the thyroid gland is divided into two lobes connected by a narrow bridge of tissue. The thyroid gland produces hormones that help regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight.
Two main types of thyroid cells can become cancerous (malignant): follicle cells which produce and store thyroid hormones, and C cells, which produce calcitonin, a hormone that may be elevated if a tumor is present.

This has another bouldery start to the 1st clip. Past the third bolt is the crux, a move to the left past a bulge. Then reach high to a horizontal break. A kneebar is possible below this bulge.
Four bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.
Fun climb, but 10c, really? thought it was much easier than that.Are you supposed to go straight up over the bulge? I wen't around to the left on the juggy holds with lots of chalk. A much easier variation in my opinion.
Hey, does anyone know what the route is two climbs to the left of Playing Hookie? It's listed as number 1 in the photo. We climbed it 3/19/05 and one of the bolt anchors at the top was missing a hanger.
Hello Eric, I forgot what we named the leftmost route in The Playground, but will check my notes to get the name. So, the vandals have struck again eh? Can you recall what condition the threads of the bolt were in on the bolt that was missing a hanger? If the threads look good I will replace the hanger. If a new bolt is needed, it will require a special use permit from Colorado State Parks to replace.
Hey Tom, thanks for the quick response. I think the threads on that bolt are still in good condition. Our main concern was getting down, not inspecting the bolt, but my good friend Scott recalls the threads being okay. Have you had this problem a lot at Castlewood? Anyway, we love the climbs you put up.........thank you!We are also curious of what you rated it........ we are assuming that the stem to the left is off??
Hi Eric, I am glad to hear that the threads may be in good condition. I will try to remember to bring along an extra hanger, nut and wrench to repair the anchor the next time I am near the The Playground. I have seen similar vandalism over the years at Castlewood at Morning Sun Wall, The Zoids and now The Playground. However, considering Castlewood's proximity to Denver and Colorado Springs and the large amount of non climbers who have access to the cliffs, it has been less of a problem than might be expected. Thank you very much for the gear update!
Does anyone know what route number 2 in this photo is? I can't seem to locate it on here....
Route number two is called Black Slide.
Is it a recently put up line? I can't find it on here anywhere, just wondering what it was rated. Felt like a hard ten
Hi AC, Yes, hard 5.10 sounds right. Black Slide sports only a couple of bolts. There a couple of gear placements in addition to the bolts, but it is often lead on bolts alone.This route is in the Yellow Goide.

Hey while shooting a greenscreen shot on build 17 today, our camera had quite a few dropped frames....actually quite a lot of dropped frames. This happened while shooting a fairly simple shot against a well lit green backdrop. The only thing that cured it was to take the battery off and replace it with a new one, which is weird, because the first battery was only down to like 3/4 or 1/2 charge. Also, had several bootup hangs, anyone else having these issues? If so, let me know and what I should do. Thanks all.

Special to the News-Sun
SEBRING - Area young people ages 8-17 will have a chance to take to the skies Saturday as Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 1240 hosts a Young Eagles Flight Rally and Pancake Breakfast at Sebring Regional Airport.
The rally is part of the EAA Young Eagles Program, created to interest young people in aviation.
Since the program was launched in 1992, volunteer EAA pilots have flown more than 1.4 million young people who reside in more than 90 countries.
"Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally," said John Rousch, spokesman for the event. "We hope to build one-to-one relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation."
Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight.
Following the flight, each young person, will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle.
Their name will then be entered into the "World's Largest Logbook," which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, Wis.
The Logbook is also accessible on the web at www.youngeagles.org.
Other activities scheduled for the Flight Rally include a pancake breakfast where funds go to youth aviation education and guided tours of aircraft and how activities at an airport are conducted.
Along with flight rallies, EAA members also fly Young Eagles on an individual basis.
Each pilot volunteers their time and aircraft so the flights can be provided free of charge for interested young people.
Those attending the Flight Rally Saturday are asked come the Sebring Regional Airport and follow the signs to T-hanger 75. Young Eagle registration starts at 7:30 a.m. to register for their flight. Flights will begin at 8 a.m. with registration closing at 11 a.m.
Young Eagles must have a parent or legal guardian sign the registration form to be able to fly.
If time and space allows, parents of the Young Eagle youth will be able to take an orientation flight with an EAA pilot.
Additional information about EAA and the EAA Young Eagles program is available on the Internet. Access to EAA's Home Page is available at www.eaa.org.
The Young Eagles web page is www.youngeagles.org.

Title: | Assistant Coach - Offensive Line |
Phone: | (617) 495-2207 |
Email: | firstname.lastname@example.com |
Year: | First season |
College: | Baldwin-Wallace 2001 |
Recruits: | Recruiting Areas: Canada, Connecticut , Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C. |
Jeremy Bandy is in his second season as Harvard's offensive line coach.
Bandy coordinates recruiting efforts for the Crimson in the New England states, as well as Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Delaware and Canada.
In Bandy's first season with the Crimson, his linemen helped Harvard rank third nationally in total offense (487.5 yards per game), fourth in scoring offense (39.4 points per game), fourth in passing efficiency (157.25 rating), 17th in rushing offense (214.3 yards per game) and 19th in passing offense (273.2 yards per game).
Bandy came to Harvard after spending six years on Tim Gilmore's staff at Holy Cross, four of them as the offensive line coach.
In 2011, Bandy's offensive line had two selections on the All-Patriot League team. Additionally, long snapper Matt Fava was named to the national all-freshman team by College Sports Journal.
In 2009, four out of the five starters on offensive line earned All-Patriot League honors as the Crusaders won the league title and advanced to the national playoffs. In 2008, two of Bandy's players earned all-league honors. During his first two seasons with the Crusaders, Bandy served as the tight ends coach, helping to guide the career of first team All-Patriot League selection Ryan McGuire.
Bandy came to Holy Cross from Allegheny College, where he served as the offensive line coach for four seasons. Allegheny won the 2003 national championship, and in 2004, Bandy guided an offensive line which paved the way for the Gators to rush for 1,657 yards and 16 touchdowns.
A 2001 graduate of Baldwin-Wallace College, Bandy played both center and guard on the offensive line for the Yellow Jackets. During his undergraduate days at Baldwin-Wallace, he also served as a recruiting assistant in the football office.

Thirty-two faculty, graduate students, and alumni from St. John's University's graduate psychology programs traveled to Boston to attend the American Psychological Association (APA) 116th annual convention.
With 148,000 members, APA is the largest association of psychologists worldwide. Thus, the APA Convention attracts a large number of psychologists each year in all arenas of psychology, from clinical psychologists to psychopharmacologists to behavioral neuroscientists to school psychologists. Graduate students, academics, and practitioners gather to network and present the latest research in the field.
St. John's faculty, graduate students, and alumni delivered an impressive total of 22 presentations on their newest research in the field of psychology. This level of participation and the quality of the presentations and research highlights the outstanding work currently being conducted at St. John's University.
Although students and faculty from graduate psychology programs have been attending APA annual conventions since the 1980's, the 2008 Convention saw the highest number of research projects accepted from St. John's in recent memory. Applicants throughout the nation submit their research for an opportunity to present at APA because the convention is prestigious, honoring the critical role of psychology. To be accepted as a presenter at this nationally recognized conference is an honor for any participant.
Conventions such as APA are an opportunity for faculty and students across programs to come together to present on similar topics of interest. While there were a number of impressive presentations, one collaborative effort involved Jeffrey Nevid, Ph.D. and Wilson McDermut, Ph.D. from the Clinical Psychology Program and Mark Terjesen, Ph.D. and doctoral candidate Robin Sakakini from the School Psychology Program, along with Dr. Mark Sciutto of Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania presented their own ideas and/or research in the symposium, "Undergraduate and Graduate Psychopathology Courses: Implications for Instruction and Training."
Beverly Greene, Ph.D. represented St. John's in an impressive three symposiums, as a discussant, a presenter, and a chair. They included, respectively: Women and Spirituality: Freeing, Affirmative Creativity; Actualization, Resilience and Resistance: Queer Women Psychologists Strategize in Response to Hate Crimes; and Teaching Cultural Diversity in Mental Health Curriculums: Matching Syllabi to Setting.
Raymond DiGiuseppe, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Psychology, spoke at the symposium, "Innovating Evidence-Based Practice with Session-by-Session Outcome Measures."
In addition to the recognition afforded those presenting their outstanding research and scholarship, APA's annual convention also offers the opportunity for individual recognition and honors. One individual honored this year was St. John's faculty member John Hogan, Ph.D., who was recently elected president of Division 1, General Psychology, one of 54 divisions within APA and also the largest.
"As the professional psychological organization that recognizes all disciplines within psychology, it was a great honor just to see the level of current student, faculty, and alumni involvement at this years annual APA conference," remarked Dr. Terjesen. "St. John's University always does well in terms of attendance and presentation at a number of professional conferences and the involvement of so many individuals this year is further reflective of the values of life-long professional development, the importance of dissemination of scientific knowledge as well as the recognition that the St. John's community receives from the field."
Highlights of the convention included the keynote address by Malcolm Gladwell, staff writer for The New Yorker magazine and best-selling author of Blink and The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference, along with addresses by well-known psychologist David H. Barlow and author John Elder Robison (Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's), among others.
For more information about the graduate programs in psychology, please contact Dr. Raymond DiGiuseppe, department chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (718) 990-6368.

Today's announcement of a new home for the Central Coast Marine Discovery Centre (CCMDC) is a welcome boost for local education and research.
As a partner in the CCMCD, the University of Newcastle welcomed the announcement that the former Terrigal Tourism Offices will become a working research hub linking the education, business and tourism sectors in the region.
Director of the University's research group for Sustainable Use of Coasts and Catchments, Associate Professor Bill Gladstone, said the CCMDC was a great opportunity for the Central Coast and will further build on the University's national and international reputation in marine research.
"The CCMDC will be recognised as a Centre of Excellence in research and education in temperate environments and will draw significant research capacity and students to the Central Coast. The Centre will be a fantastic asset for these endeavours.
"It will provide a unique field-study location for domestic and overseas students and visitors, and demonstrate best environmental practice in all of its activities.
Associate Professor Gladstone and his colleagues in the Faculty of Science and Information Technology are researching the biology of marine and estuarine organisms, the ecology of coastal lagoons, and the social impacts of marine resource management.
A key focus of the research will be the impacts of climate change on the marine environment and on the ways people use it.
Associate Professor Gladstone said the Central Coast was the ideal place to establish a centre of this kind.
"We have an open coastline, beaches, rocky shores, sub-tidal rocky reefs, coastal lagoons and estuaries all in a relatively small area.
"The Central Coast is home to many iconic marine species and valuable dive sites that offer a wealth of opportunity in helping us understand more about the local ecosystems.
"Combined, these attributes also demonstrate the need to protect our marine environment and ensure its ongoing sustainability."
The concept of a marine centre based on the Central Coast has been in development for more than five years. In 2006 a working group was formed involving the Community Environment Network; the University; federal, state and local government; local business and tourism operators.
Having established a successful temporary Centre at Crown Plaza Terrigal in January this year, the new facility is expected to open in time for the October school holidays.

On the evening of December 2, nearly the entire nation of Venezuela went dark in the second massive power outage to take place in less than a year. Rather than take responsibility for the failures of the state-owned electric company, socialist president Nicolas Maduro instead told the Venezuelan people to "be strong against this electrical war that fascists have declared against our people."

By Andrew Barksdale Staff writer
Fayetteville's city manager declined to say Saturday whether he has offered the police chief job to Harold Medlock, a deputy chief from Charlotte, who is apparently the only remaining finalist.
City Manager Ted Voorhees said he is sticking to his plan to announce the new chief Wednesday, despite confirmation Friday from the other finalist, Malik Aziz of Dallas, that he was passed over.
According to two city sources, Voorhees is wrapping up negotiations on the compensation and related employment matters with the winning candidate.
Fayetteville City Council members said Saturday they were mostly pleased with the prospect of Medlock being tapped to take over the Police Department.
Councilman Keith Bates said the council hired Voorhees to "make those tough decisions, and we'll have to back him up."
"We'll be fine with Mr. Medlock," Bates said.
Councilman Wade Fowler said he liked both.
"So I felt like either one would be a quality police chief for us," Fowler said.
Fayetteville's former police chief, Tom Bergamine, retired in July, and the acting chief, Katherine Bryant, chose not to apply for the position.
In an email sent to the council Friday afternoon, Voorhees talked about the selection process.
"The decision was very difficult because I had such well-qualified applicants," his email said. "In the end, the assessment center was the most influential on who became the two finalists. After that, I had to select the person who I think is the right person at the right time for this community and this police department."
The assessment center in November involved six finalists, from a pool of about 130 applicants for the vacancy.
On Friday, Aziz told The Fayetteville Observer: "I would say that the city manager is a very quality person and he made the selection that would best fit his needs for the city of Fayetteville."
On Saturday night, Aziz told the Observer he had assumed when Voorhees called him that the decision had been made public in Fayetteville.
Council members said they were surprised to learn about the apparent choice by reading the newspaper.
Efforts to reach Medlock Saturday were unsuccessful.
Two council members, Val Applewhite and D.J. Haire, said they were surprised Aziz was not selected.
Applewhite said there were indications from residents who attended the two public forums that Aziz "was overwhelmingly the better fit for our community."
Applewhite said in an email Saturday both were great candidates, and "I welcome Chief Medlock to our city and will do everything possible to support him."
Haire said both men had good credentials, but he had liked the historic possibility that Aziz, who is black, might have become the city's first African-American police chief. Haire said he also liked that Aziz was not from North Carolina, but "a true outsider."
"I thought that would have been a plus for us," Haire said.
The next chief will have the task of rebuilding trust by some residents who believed black drivers have been unfairly stopped and detained for searches. The consent search controversy arose in 2011 and led to the firing of the former city manager, Dale Iman, in March. Data reported to the state showed about 75 percent of all people searched by police at traffic stops were black. An independent review in March resulted in 28 operational recommendations for the department.
Jimmy Buxton, president of the Fayetteville branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said he liked both finalists.
"The proof will be when he gets here and we see what kind of policies he comes up with to help the community feel more comfortable with the Police Department," Buxton said Saturday. "It will be a wait-and-see game."
Mayor Pro Tem Jim Arp said he looked forward to Voorhees' formal announcement later this week, but he liked Medlock's experience overseeing security for the Democratic National Convention in September. That responsibility, Arp said, had Medlock collaborating with state and federal law enforcement.
"I think that's a real asset for us," he said.

Votto A Runaway Winner?
November 22nd, 2010 | by Ray Flowers |
Every time I pat the voters on the back, like I did for their AL Cy Young selection of Felix Hernandez, they turn around and do something a bit odd. In a piece entitled Who is the NL MVP?, I made a case for a narrow, and I mean razor thin, victory for Joey Votto over Albert Pujols. The Baseball Writers Association of America got it right in giving the award to Votto, so what am I scratching my head over? The results. Here they are:
Joey Votto: 31 1st place votes, one 2nd, for 443 points
Albert Pujols: one first, 21 2nd, eight 3rd, one 4th, one sixth, for 279 points
Carlos Gonzalez: 0-7-13-5-4-2-1, for 240 points.
Votto and Pujols were the only two players listed on every ballot. I have no idea in the world how CarGo wasn't deemed at least the 10th best player by one voter who should have their credentials revoked, but I'm even more aghast at the fact that Votto was a near unanimous selection. Again, I'm not saying that Votto didn't deserve the award, but 31 of 32 first place votes? After all, Pujols did lead the NL in RBI (118) and runs (115), it's not like he as crushed in a myriad of other categories by Votto.
Pujols: .312/.414/.596, 42 HRs, 14 SBs, 39 doubles, 103 BB, 76 Ks
Votto: .324/.424/.600, 37 HRs, 16 SBs, 36 doubles, 91 BB, 125 Ks
There is simply no way that I can fathom this situation ending up with Votto being a near unanimous selection.
Let the bashing of me begin since I'm sure I will get a host of emails saying 'but Votto's Reds made the playoffs' to which I will reply – so flipping what? This isn't tennis folks. Baseball is a team game, and no matter how great a player is, no one person can win anything by his lonesome. This is about as tired an argument as I ever come across, and year after year you hear countless people espousing this nonsense. As near as I can figure it, this very line of reasoning must have been why Adrian Gonzalez received 197 points while Ryan Braun picked up only 19. After all, the Padres just missed the playoffs and the Brewers were well under .500 at 77-85. I would be much more willing to accept a line of argument along the lines of (a) Gonzalez plays in atrocious park for hitters and (b) he had all of that success with hardly any support in the lineup. Still, results are results, and I just don't see how Gonzalez demolished Braun in the vote given their production.
Gonzalez: .298-31-101-87 with a .393 OBP, .511 SLG
R. Braun: .304-25-103-101-14 with a .366 OBP, .501 SLG
Speaking of Braun, I had him fourth on my ballot. It's possible that I took too much of a "fantasy centered" approach in selection Braun for his 5×5 talents, but there is NO FLIPPING WAY that he should have finished behind Jayson Werth (52 points), Martin Prado (51 points) and Ryan Howard (50 points). I love Buster Posey (40 points), but he also shouldn't have been ahead of Braun either. I don't what is more shocking – Scott Rolen (26 points) finishing higher than Braun or Ryan Howard getting a second place vote for his worst full season ever? What cruel joke is being played here?
One final point. How in the world does Roy Halladay finish 6th in the NL MVP vote with 130 points when Adam Wainwright, who produced nearly identical totals this season (you can read about that situation in NL Cy Young and an Import) received just 12 points?
Someone has some explaining to do.

It has been a while since I wanted to ask this question, but couldn't find a right forum. My question might come across as trivial, but its important to me to find an answer to that.
Let me give you some background, I was very good in Mathematics until my face off with Calculus. In 11th/12th Std. (Yes,I am from India and probably an exception as far as Indian Engineering Students are concerned.) my Maths Prof. was pathetic, and I ended up bunking all Maths lectures. Hence my Applied Maths base, especially calculus is extremely weak. I am a Computer Science Student and want to catch up in reasonable time but I don't know where to begin as I am unsure about my proficiency in pre-calculus (Linear, Logarithmic, Exponential algebra) stuff as well.
So my first question is where should I begin or In order to understand concepts of calculus what do I need to get hold off first ? And Could anyone suggest a very good book - easy to understand especially for beginners (I have to face the realty that even though I am Master's Student I am really a beginner as far as Calculus is concerned).
Thanks in Advance.

text: Home Politics The Root Interview: Carol Moseley Braun If anyone has a notion of what it takes for black women to make it in politics, this former presidential candidate does. By: Dayo Olopade Posted: March 9 2010 8:34 AM 0 Getty Images During our quest to learn what it takes for a black woman to make it in politics, The Root turned to former ambassador Carol Moseley Braun. She was the first black female senator in Congress, serving Illinois from 1993-1999. She also ran in the 2004 Democratic primary for president of the United States, so we figured if anyone had an inkling of what's required, she would. "One of the things is confidence," says Moseley Braun. "Men will look in the mirror and say, 'I should be the next governor, senator, president, whatever.' Women look in the mirror and say, 'Well, I'm too old; I'm too young; I'm not this; I'm not that. I'm not a politician.'" Moseley Braun shared with us what happens after you look into the mirror, and see a politician: The Root: You made it from community organizing in Chicago to becoming the first black female senator. What made you run? Did you ever think twice? Carol Moseley Braun: I had no idea I would spend 20 years of my life as an elected official. And I wasn't born at the Democratic National Committee meeting in 1992. I have served in state government, in local government, before I got to national government. [But] the state representative in our area ... announced that he was not going to run for reelection .... The Independents in the area were looking for a candidate. And I was invited by my neighbor who had gotten me involved with [an environmental] protest, to step forward to submit my name. At first I demurred .... But I went with her to a community meeting, and one of the political activists stood up and targeted me. He said, 'You shouldn't run because you can't possibly win.' I was just sitting there listening. He said, 'The blacks won't vote for you because you're not part of the machine; the whites won't vote for you because you're black, and nobody's going to vote for you because you're a woman. TR: You say you are a civil rights activist. In what ways did that shape your interest in politics? How has that affected black female political engagement since? CMB: I was fortunate in that my late father introduced me to black women who were involved with public affairs-whether they were judges or aldermen. I remember meeting Judge Edith Sampson, who was the first black female judge in this area-he literally took me to her house, so I could meet her. I [also] met a woman by the name of Anna Langford. She was the first black woman elected to city council in Chicago and was a civil rights activist. So I come out of that tradition. I think is important to observe is that [historically] the civil rights activism was on one track and the electoral process was on another track. They were parallel tracks that never came together. It was only after the [civil rights] movement that people who saw themselves as politicians began to be involved and engage with civil rights, and people who saw themselves as civil rights activists began to be engaged with electoral politics. They came together in the aftermath of the marches in the South. And I think I was part of that impulse. TR: There are a lot of black men for whom the election of President Barack Obama has been very encouraging. Is there a similar trend for black women? Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre
