Dudley will equally fail if he does not learn the lesson and hire new blood.
"I hope Mr. Dudley will do a better job," he tells me, warily.
He talks like a cold-eyed management consultant—"Dudley Do-Right in a Kim Kardashian world," as The Washington Post put it Sunday.
With this step, we are embracing a new phase of Dudley Do-Right behavior—one proctored by computers.
Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore in the Not Only but Also Show they did for the BBC.
We do not know, in short, whether Dudley and Amy were in love with each other or not.
"The Berkeley faculty won't let Dudley play," Mason was saying.
As he passed the Dudley home his breast was surging with unconquerable feelings.
"Yes, my young son," said Dudley; and then he burst out with things.
At the sign of the cross, Dudley started; but, as if recollecting himself, sunk back with a groan.

Ah, that makes sense. I thought I might have screwed something up. I compiled up the 2.0 version as well with no success.
It would be nice to get it all running ok. I'll look into the other TODOs you had there when i get the time, some real-time results and more command-line options would probably be nice.

Hickory, N.C. - Brittany Tucker connected on a pair of home runs in leading Brevard to the opening win over #23 Lenoir-Rhyne University, but the Bears used a pair of long balls in the second contest in recording the comeback in an 11 inning victory in the nightcap over the Tornados to earn the split.
Kayla Clemens (12-12) recorded the win in game one for Brevard (19-20, 8-8 SAC), while Dawon Millwood (25-6) went 1-1 on the day, losing the first game, while pitching 7.2 innings in relief to pick up the win in the second game for the Lenoir-Rhyne (38-11, 10-4 SAC). Alyssa Miller (7-8) went the distance in the second game for the Tornados, scattering six hits, while striking out 10 in the loss to the Bears.
Game One: Brevard 5, #23 Lenoir-Rhyne 1
Box Score
Tucker had the game of her short BC career, driving two solo home runs over the left field fence and the junior shortstop added a two-run double in the top of the sixth inning as the Tornados took the first game from the Bears, 5-1.
Brevard opened the scoring in the top of the first as Tucker connected on a solo home run in the top of the first inning, drilling a pitch from Millwood over the left field fence for the first run of the contest. The junior shortstop followed with her second home run of the contest, third of the season, in the top of the third inning, connecting on a two-out offering to increase the lead to 2-0 in the contest.
The Tornados added their third run in the top of the fourth inning as Meredith Davenport reached on a single to right field. A sacrifice bunt by Emily Boykin advanced her to second, before she came around to score on Brittany Fowler's two-out infield single to put Brevard ahead 3-0 at the midway point in the contest.
Tucker put the game away for Brevard in the top of the sixth inning, driving a two-out, two RBI double into the right centerfield gap, scoring Fowler and Boykin to give Clemens the 5-0 lead on the mound.
Lenoir-Rhyne ended the shutout bid in the bottom half of the inning as Haily Jarman doubled in Tameron Sealey, driving the pitch down the left field line to score Sealey from first to put the score at 5-1heading into the final frame.
The Bears threatened, putting two runners on in the bottom of the seventh as Sarah Atkins and Brittany Coursen reached on singles in the frame, but Clemens retired the final batter, catching a popup off the bat of Brittany Davidson to end the contest in favor of BC.
Game Two: #23 Lenoir-Rhyne 4, Brevard 3 (11 innings)
Box Score
Brevard plated three runs in the top of the third, but Lenoir-Rhyne battled back, tying the game on Carpenter's solo home run in the bottom of the seventh, before winning the game in the bottom of the 11th inning on Jarman's sacrifice fly to earn the split against the Tornados.
Lenoir-Rhyne struck first in the contest as Jessica Fellmeth scored Carpenter on a groundout in the infield in the bottom of the first to give the Bears the early lead.
Brevard rallied back to take the lead in the contest in the top of the third as Brittany Jones tied the game, scoring on a passed ball, while Chelsi Mallory singled in Fowler to put the Tornados ahead. Miller pushed the third BC run across the plate, singling in Mallory to give the Tornados the 3-1 advantage.
L-R took one run back in the bottom half of the frame as Atkins drilled a solo home run, cutting the lead to 3-2. Brevard retained the lead by the same margin until the bottom of the seventh, until Carpenter homered to lead off the frame, knotting the score and sending the game into extra innings.
Lenoir-Rhyne threatened to take the game in the bottom of the tenth, loading the bases with one out, but Miller escaped the jam by striking out the side to end the scoring opportunity. However, Lenoir-Rhyne cashed in the opportunity in the 11th inning as Jarman hit a one-out sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Jody Mizelle from third to end the contest.
Brevard returns home to the BC Softball Field on Wednesday, April 11th, as the Tornados welcome USC Aiken to Brevard College. First pitch in the doubleheader between the Tornados and the Pacers is set for 2 p.m.

Holy shit! Today is the day. July 6th 2010!! Marty mcfly at 1:21 pm goes into the future to hillsdale ca. I'm on my way to see him come!
Is this really suitable for the pro mma section?
It's bringing some well over due light hearted rest from all the Optimus threads.
Plus Ian, even you must be a fanboy of Biff and Marty!
Not true. You've been trolled.
Marty went to 2015 at the beginning of Back to the Future 2.
1955 in No1
1985 present day
1885 in 3
All 30 years apart (not 3 obviously) with Biff and Martys parents being young, middle aged and old.
My nipper watches the box set 3 times a week.
I preferred Marty's mum
I believe today is actually the date the time machine was set to at the beginning of the first film before they were interupted by terrorists and accidentally went back to 1955.
when they finally DO go into the future it's to 2015
Doc sets the read out for 25/12/0000 the birth of christ then 4/7/17xx the signing of the declaration of independence and then 5/11/1955 which was the day he invented the flux capasitor and time travel.
Then the Lybians come and when Marty hits 88mph he goes back to 1955.
Also notice that Martys girlfriend is a different actress in No2.
Also notice that at the beginning they test the time machine in the car park of 'Twin Pines Mall' then when Marty is escaping the farmer who thinks he is an alien in 1955 he knocks over a small pine tree. When he goes back it is called 'Lone Pine Mall'
I'll get me coat.

Jussi Oksanen for Red Bull Ultra Natural wildcard
Juicebox has been pushing the progression of snowboarding for even more than the 16 years he's been pro and done so with the sickest style. Combine all his contest experience with the time he's logged filming video part enders in the Whistler backcountry and it was pretty easy to pick Jussi Oksanen for our Ultra Natural wildcard spot.
TransWorld SNOWboarding would like to thank Travis Rice and Red Bull for allowing us to pick one of the coveted Ultra Natural spots.
The wildcard pick for Baldface Lodge goes to Terje Haakonsen and the pick for Snowboarder goes to Bryan Fox. Read the full story behind the picks here: snowboarding.transworld.net/1000196511/news/final-three-wildcards-announced-for-red-bull-ultra-natural/
Jussi's part in Burton's 13, which just won Video Of The Year at the 14th Annual Riders' Poll Awards.
How does it feel to be the TransWorld pick for Ultra Natural?
I really appreciate it. It's an honor to be nominated. I saw last year's event and it was incredible so I'm really excited and looking forward to going. It looks like good times, really. I'm stoked to go. I've never been to Baldface either.
What do you think of the course?
I've been watching it on TV and it looks fun as hell. But I know once you get there it's probably a lot more intimidating. Especially when you see the guys jump off and they go like, 100 miles per hour afterward. You're like, "Holy shit," that's pretty steep. It's not the terrain that I'm used to riding. I mean, I ride backcountry stuff but it's mostly jumping, so it's kind of exciting to do something different. It looks like they opened up the course a bit so it will be a little more rider friendly this year.
Any plan of attack from what you've seen of the course so far?
To me it seems like if you go more diagonal you can maximize the course and go a little slower, rather than just pointing it down the fallline. But it's so hard to tell before you really see what the terrain is like in person. I'll just go and come up with the plan there I guess.
Is there anything on the course that you're really stoked on hitting?
I think it's just if the conditions are good. When do you ever get a chance to ride something like this when its untracked and a dream course. That's what I'm personally looking forward too—having fun. I just want to have a good fun run. And ride some laps at Baldface.
So we have a bet with Snowboarder and Baldface, who are picking the other two wildcards, that the whoever nominated the rider who places lowest has to buy a round of Irish carbombs for the whole Baldface lodge.
[Laughs] So I have some extra pressure now too. You got my back, I'll get your back.

The post above which is terrible looking was done in word then pasted up.
Then I went back in the edit mode of this website to change one word and this mess showed up.
Its not the 1st time this happened .I usually go thru it all and clean it all up but I left this to show what's happening-Its a pain in the butt-to say the least
I have gotten frustrated many times and just let the post go and cancel it all due to frustration.How many time must I log in? Usually 2 times to post two lines.
If I forget to save it all goes away
It will do it on both my macs-I could smart phone this if I wanted to go mad with small keyboard.
I would be happier if the powers that be redid this software to mesh with macs better-I get tired of constantly logging in as it logs me out in about 1 minute.
Its a battle for me that I'm losing slowly.
Well it is dreadful! You had so much to say and it was all such a jumble and unreadable. That's too bad.

Fox Business Panel Mischaracterizes Sen. Elizabeth Warren's Minimum Wage Comments
Blog ››› ››› TYLER HANSEN
A trio of Fox Business commentators attacked Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) advocacy for an increased federal minimum wage by wildly mischaracterizing comments she made during a Senate committee hearing. In addition to incorrectly implying that Warren is advocating for a $22 per hour minimum wage, the panelists dismissed the need for any increase in the minimum at all by relying on misinformation and distorted arguments.
At a March 14 hearing on the ties between economic growth and the federal minimum wage, Warren said that if minimum wage had been pegged to productivity as it had increased from 1960 until now, "the minimum wage today would be about $22 an hour."
On the March 19 edition of Varney & Co., host Stuart Varney and two guests, Fox Business contributor Charles Payne and Fox Business reporter Sandra Smith, mischaracterized Warren's statement to claim she was advocating for raising the minimum wage to $22 per hour. For instance, Smith claimed that Warren is "fighting for you to make $22 an hour."
Payne also misleadingly suggested Warren's numbers were incorrect by comparing the $22 figure -- which is tied to worker productivity -- to the unrelated metric of inflation.
In fact, as the Huffington Post noted, Warren was not making the case for raising the minimum wage to $22, but was in fact referring to a study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) that supports her position that an increase in the minimum wage is overdue. According to the CEPR study, "Between the end of World War II and 1968, the minimum wage tracked average productivity growth fairly closely. Since 1968, however, productivity growth has far outpaced the minimum wage. If the minimum wage had continued to move with average productivity after 1968, it would have reached $21.72 per hour in 2012 - a rate well above the average production worker wage."
Payne also claimed that the minimum wage is not meant to support a family and is usually earned by teenagers, saying: "This is a stepping stone. This is not something that -- it was never designed for people to live on, per say." But according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, just over half of all workers receiving the federal minimum wage in 2011 were aged 25 and above For her part, Smith also repeated the myth that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, but numerous studies show that's not true.

In the national battle between blue and red states, between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the people have spoken.
Well, at least the people still in high school.
The nation's teens want Obama and Utah kids want Romney, according to results of the Voting Opportunities for Teenagers in Every State (VOTES) Project. More than 54,000 high school students from across the United States participated in the mock vote in recent weeks, including those in three Utah high schools.
Nationwide, Obama sailed into a second term, pounding Romney 50.2 percent to 41.2 percent and earning far more electoral votes as well. In Utah the results were perhaps not surprisingly to the contrary.
Democrat Obama took Salt Lake City's Rowland Hall, while Republican Romney conquered Bonneville High in Ogden and Provo High School.
Provo social studies teacher Philip Murphy said Romney's win at his school didn't surprise him.
"Well, we're a block away from BYU," said Murphy, referring to Brigham Young University. The university is run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which Romney is a member.
And Michael Edwards, an Advanced Placement U.S. government and U.S. history teacher at Bonneville High, said his students always choose the same candidate who wins the state as a whole. The shock, he said, for some students, is finding out where they really stand ideologically. Each election, he asks his students to complete online quizzes to help them gauge where they sit on the political spectrum.
"One of my students that had taken the quiz," Edwards said, "it came back with her leaning toward the liberal side, and the first thing that came out of her mouth was don't tell her parents."
Rowland Hall, however, was unabashedly blue, with 71 percent of students supporting Obama, said teacher Mike Shackelford, whose political science class ran the school election.
The private school took the exercise even further voting on an entire ballot of local candidates and issues. Democratic congressional incumbent Jim Matheson bested challenger and rising Republican star Mia Love, winning with 68 percent of Rowland Hall's vote.
Even popular Republican Gov. Gary Herbert got booted from office at Rowland Hall, losing to Democratic challenger Peter Cooke.
"We've attracted, I guess, a slightly more liberal population base," Shackelford said.
In fact, to many students, the most surprising thing about Rowland Hall's results was that Obama didn't win by a wider margin.
"I feel like there are a lot of people in the Rowland Hall community who may not have come out [publicly] as Republican," said Rowland senior Scott Silverstein.
Ultimately, Silverstein said he voted for Obama because of his passion for the environment.
Not all his classmates agreed. Senior Megan Scaglione said she would have voted for Obama last election (had she not been 13 at the time). But this time around she mock-voted for Romney.
"We were expecting to see some amount of change," Scaglione, 17, said of Obama's first term, "and when the only change that was tangible was the deficit, it really changed my mind."
Students at the other VOTES Project schools were similarly divided.
Bonneville High senior Brieanna Olds voted for Obama, saying she agrees with his stands on social issues and the economy.
"I know a lot of people think he made mistakes with the stimulus plan," Olds said, "but I actually disagree. I think it was helpful."
Her classmate, senior Anna Nelson, sat firmly in Romney's camp. She said she's socially liberal, but voted for Romney because she's pro-business and capitalism is "really the best system for our country."
If there was one thing, however, that everyone seemed to agree on, it was the importance of voting. Some of those who participated in the mock elections will hit the polls for real Tuesday as 18-year-olds voting for the first time.
Many said those who refuse to vote have no right to complain about the nation's leaders. Plus, they said, it's a civic duty.
"This is a way to establish that you are an adult in society," said Silverstein, 18, who will officially vote Tuesday.
"It's like being able to drive," added Rowland senior Claude Atkinson-Beckwith, 17.
Rowland senior Kaitlin Ramsey, 17, said the mock election was an opportunity for students to make their voices heard.
"Instead of just listening to the dinner table conversation my parents are having," Ramsey said, "I can really think, 'Do I want Obama or this other side?'"
The national VOTES Project results have accurately predicted who will win the presidential race in five elections, missing the boat only during the 2004 presidential election between George W. Bush and John Kerry.

I spent much of the past spring sports season trying to avoid Levy County's top athlete. Taylore Fuller, her soaring home runs and 1.926 slugging percentage, made it obvious she was able to do things no one around her could. And she did it nearly every game. A strike out became a bigger story than a grand slam. So I decided to try to highlight the other players on the field.

friend has postnatal depression?
Hi! A former co-worker who gave birth last month seems to be suffering from postnatal depression. She's always sad and resents her baby for ruining her life. What can I do to help? I'm scared that she might hurt her baby.

Postnatal depression can be very hard for some mums, as I'm sure you've noticed. You may want to offer to care for the baby when you can, or do laundry, or make meals. You could also take her a meal periodically. Sometimes a lack of sleep can wreak havoc on emotions, so if you could even help her to get a nap in the middle of the day that might help her.
Encourage her to eat well. Take her some fresh produce so she doesn't have to go to the store. Offer to go for a walk with her if she just wants to talk (exercise is good for new mums). Organize help for her from others in the church.
It's super important that she gets enough rest, and if she is breastfeeding, she may find that having baby in bed with her helps her to get more rest at night - when baby awakens, just offer the breast, and both of you go back to sleep. Babies who are breastfed don't need to be burped at night - if they roll onto their back when they are asleep and done eating, they will be fine. I had all of my babies in bed with me and it really helped me to get the rest I needed. Also, napping during the day, when baby naps is important - more important than chores.
Eating properly is super important because postnatal depression is a chemical imbalance that can be corrected with supplements (i.e. Inositol which is one of the B vitamins). She should be sure she is taking a multi-vitamin, especially if she is breastfeeding.
I hope this gives you some ideas that your friend will find helpful.
Warm Regards,

My Ride: e46 m3
Brady Wells, AKA Tucker---bad bad man
I recently purchased some BBS RG-Rs from Tucker, aka- Brady Wells from Texas.. If any of youve seen the ones posted on e46fanatics.com some time in June, you know what Im talking about.. Brady even posted pics of the rims saying all were in near perfect condition with exception to a small scratch on only ONE front rim..
I have a 30% wholesale discount on rims but I decided to get these used ones since they were almost new and a couple hundred bucks cheaper than my price.. after all, theyre just rims and eventually something will happen to em.. Because of this Texas piece of SH*T, I will never buy anything from the forums again.. Id rather pay more for something new and from a LEGIT place and have piece of mind, rather than put my money on someone I dont even know For those of you whod like to know the condition of the rims I received from SHADY WELLS, here it goes:
1) The other front rim had TWO big scratches on the lip, looks like he drove over a pothole or something
2) One rear wheel had a damaged hubcentric (completely bent up) and now I gotta order a new one from BBS
3) The final rear wheel and by far the worst, cant even be mounted onto the car. The wheel is out of round and it cannot even be repaired.. ONLY REPLACED!! The balance on the wheel was off 2.75 and 3.5. My technician tested the wheel on the balance machine and the wheel was so messed up, it shook the entire balance machine..
So I call SHADY to ask him what the hell Im supposed to do with 3 rims? He says all rims were in the condition he stated earlier and that the 3 problems I found on the rims were most definitely not there when he sent them out.. He said Id have to deal with UPS on this one cuz he had nothing to do with it.. I told him I didnt want the rims anymore and Id send them back (and lose on shipping).. he says he doesnt want rims that arent in the same condition as they were when he had them complete B.S.!!!! its also soooo convenient that he demanded payment immediately after deal was made, before I could see the rims and find all that was wrong. I called him and after going in circles for about 30 minutes, asked if he was willing to go half on the replacement of the rear wheel (not even the hubcentric or the other scratch- which I said I would take care of on my own even though I knew nothing of it at time of sale) naturally, he said, NO. Now Im stuck with 3 rims and if I cough up the $$$ to replace the rear wheel, I wouldve paid less for the same rims brand new at my cost..
INTERESTING FACT: my technician said the way the rim was damaged could not have happened through shipping (Ill admit the guy did a hell of a job packaging the 4 damaged rims) but only through driving like say . WHATYA KNOW??!!!! a POTHOLE???? :hmm:
My question to Mr. Wells . Why would UPS go through the trouble of taking out all the rims and scratch one, bend one, and take a hubcentric off of another one, bend it and put everything back as if nothing happened.. Im sorry but you couldve came up with a better story than that.. all i have to say to you now Brady is thank you for the learning experience.. :thanks:
btw-Im thinking of hookin up my childhood toy tricycle with some 19 BBSs.. will post pics as soon as its done..

Five centuries of cred as a beerhall have made the Little Bears a mecca for Budvar drinkers. The menu goes well beyond pub grub, with pork in plum sauce and fillets in dark beer reduction, among other treats. Hardcore diners might care for tlačenka, or head cheese. It's invariably packed with locals.
Area Prague
Transport Metro Národní třída/tram 6, 9, 18, 22, 23.
Telephone 224 211 916
Open 11am-11pm Mon-Fri; 11.30am-11pm Sat; 11.30am-10pm Sun.
Main courses 150-350 K±.
Most people only see the bar area and the beerhall next to it. Not many people know that there is a rear entry into U Medvidku which takes you through the area where they make their unfiltered beer. Same menu just not with all the crowds. You access it via the passageway to the left of the restaurant main entry. Inside tip courtesy of livingprague.com
great beer, extensive menu, great pricing...excellent choice
not sure when u were there jon, but tonight they had an EXTENSIVE menu with prob 50 choices avail. The place is huge if u walk thru it and was packed. Their brewed beers are exceptional
High marks for tourists trying to get a feel for local pub culture and beer. Though many guide books compliment the food, all was offered was cold sausage and cheese. Definately a place to stop but make dinner plans elsewhere.

Hey guys! I am glad to say I am back on paleo. I began paleo a several months ago and was highly successful with losing 30 lbs and became healthier. I fell off the band wagon around begining of summer due to family get togethers and the cost of this fancy lifestyle! During my off months I gained back those 30 lbs while visiting Myrtle Beach, Nashville, and all over Texas. Now that my life has calm down and a health screening I decided to jump back on the wagon and start over with adding more weight lifting.(The first time I lost a lot of muscle, girlfriend was not happy). I am glad to be back guys and gals!!

GSA Awards New IT Contracts for DoD Office
June 21, 2001
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - GSA has awarded two contracts that could be worth a maximum value of $144 million over the life of the contracts to support a Department of Defense program in gathering the best ideas, algorithms, and emerging high performance software tools. Each contract is for three base years and includes five option years.
High Performance Technologies of Arlington, Va., was awarded a $36 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract May 25, 2001, and a $108 million cost-reimbursable contract was awarded the same day to MOS University Consortium through Mississippi State University, Sponsored Programs Administration. The consortium is comprised of Mississippi State University, Ohio Supercomputing Center and San Diego Supercomputing Center.
Part of GSA's Federal Technology Service, the Information Technology Acquisition Center, Solution Development Center, co-located in Atlanta and Fort Worth, executed these contracts. ITAC SDC is well-recognized as a center for acquisition expertise.
High Performance Technologies will work to enhance collaborative and distance learning technologies to users at Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, and Army Research Laboratory, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, in Aberdeen, Md. The expected completion date is May 31, 2009. The face value of the base contract is $7,644,778. The total projected ceiling value is $36 million.
Mississippi State University will focus on enhancing computational environments, enabling technologies, education, outreach and training to users located at ASC, Wright-Patterson AFB, the Naval Oceanographic Office at John C. Stennis Space Center in Mississippi and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Miss. The expected completion date is also slated for May 31, 2009. The face value of the base contract is $23,435,398. The total projected ceiling value is $108 million.
Directed by DoD's High Performance Computing Management Office, the Programming Environment and Training (PET) program provides world-class, high-end/high performance computing capability to the DoD science and technology and test and evaluation communities. The technological advantage of advancing application and tools software capabilities and hardware access then benefits the work of the DoD scientists and engineers in those areas.
For more information about the contracts, contact Jo Davis, co-director of ITAC, at (404) 331-0389 or Tom Thomas, ITAC Contracting Officer at (404) 331-6115.

As thousands of lawyers celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, millions of men and women will be dreaming behind bars of their families, their past and their freedom.
Yet, as our nation celebrates this important anniversary, we must remember that many are dreaming of a better future, specifically the American Dream, and their dreams should be entwined with our dreams. Their freedom should be "inextricably bound to our freedom," as Martin Luther King Jr. said.
The United States puts more people in prison than any other country, including Russia and China. We have 760 prisoners per 100,000 citizens, about seven to 10 times as many as other developed countries. In the 1980s, our prison population was about 150 per 100,000 adults.
Why the dramatic increase? Because our criminal justice system is more interested in capturing people in the "war on drugs" than in helping them.
More than half of inmates in federal prison today have been convicted of drug crimes. Of the 1.6 million Americans arrested in 2009 on drug charges, 80 percent were for simple drug possession.
This isn't just a national problem. From 1990 to 2010, Utah's population grew by about 30 percent, but our prison population increased almost 300 percent.
According to the Global Commission on Drug Policy, arresting and incarcerating people fills prisons and destroys lives but does not reduce the availability of illicit drugs or the power of criminal organizations. And the lives affected are usually from minority populations and the poor.
"This war on drugs is almost entirely being fought in Latino and African American communities," says professor Jose Luis Morin, of John Jay College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York. Black men go to prison for drug convictions at 13 times the rate of white men. The war on drugs, Morin says, is "the single greatest force behind the growth of the prison population of Latinos in prisons around the United States."
Journalist Bruce Western, of "The Nation," commented, "Drugs are intensively criminalized among the poor but largely unregulated among the rich. The pot, coke and ecstasy that enliven college dorms, soothe the middle-class time bind and ignite the octane of capitalism on Wall Street are unimpeded by the street sweep, the prison cell and the parole-mandated urine tests that are routine in poor neighborhoods."
Our American identity is judged not on how we treat the rich and white, but how we treat the least among us.
We should devote our resources to helping our neighbors and fellow citizens by treating societal diseases among them homelessness, unemployment, hopelessness, lack of education, lack of health care, lack of family and, above all, poverty instead of wasting resources on punishing individuals for the tragic symptom of drug addiction.
We must challenge laws that disproportionately affect our black and brown and poor neighbors in every ballot box and every courtroom until we, as the Rev. King put it, "shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges."
Our great nation may have been emancipated from slavery, but there is a fierce urgency requiring emancipation from the failed drug war.
We must stand up for freedom together, because unless we lock everyone in prison, those dreamers behind prison walls will be our neighbors.
How will we help our neighbors? By realizing that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot let them walk or dream alone.
Jesse Nix is president of the Utah Minority Bar Association and a public defender with the Salt Lake Legal Defender Association.

It should work after.Code:svn up
I've recently updated the SET toolkit in Backtrack 4 R2 using the "svn update" command from the SET directory. It is currently at revision 431. I get the following error when trying to run it from the command line:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./set", line 18, in <module>
import set
File "src/main/set.py", line 17, in <module>
except: reload(core)
NameError: name 'core' is not defined
Before I did the update, SET worked just fine. So not sure if it has to do with this new core module that SET added for 3rd party developers. Thanks if anyone knows how to answer this.
It should work after.Code:svn up

Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
Thanks. I re-ran it today and got revision 432 which came with the elusive "src/core/core.py" file. Seems I just had bad timing the other day when I updated it. So problem is solved!

Leasing Business Equipment
Looking to equip your new business? Whether you need computers, desks, machinery, or a vehicle, you want to make cost effective purchasing decisions. Why not consider leasing equipment instead of buying it?
Here is some information to help you decide if leasing is right for you.
Benefits of Leasing Business Equipment
Aside from a reduced cash outlay, there are many benefits to leasing equipment:
- Leasing can save you the time and hassle involved in finding someone who will extend you credit for purchasing equipment.
- You can keep pace with emerging technology.
- Short-term leases give you the opportunity to evaluate whether the equipment fits your needs.
- Maintenance may be included in the lease, saving you additional costs.
- If you use the leased asset in your business, you may enjoy a potential tax advantage because your lease or rental payments are fully deductible.
Leasing also has its disadvantages. For example, the lifetime cost of the asset is generally going to be higher than if you purchased it. You are also giving up any ownership interest, which can be especially costly if you rely on the equipment and find at the end of the lease that the equipment is too expensive to purchase outright. You may also find that you lose the tax benefits of depreciation deductions.
Factors to Consider When Leasing Equipment
There are many variables to consider when making the decision to lease equipment. Here are a few considerations:
- If you anticipate needing the equipment for the long-term and want to establish equity in it, try to negotiate a purchase option under which a portion of your lease payments is credited to the purchase price.
- Doing your homework can help prevent undesirable legal repercussions. Consider asking a lawyer to look over a lease before signing it.

Thank you for supporting brown bears!
Temperate forests and grassy plains up to 10,000 feet (3,048 m).
Brown bears have a head and body length of 68-112 inches (173-284 cm), and their tail is 2.5-8.5 inches (6-22 cm) in length. Brown bears range from 209-1,716 pounds (95-780 kg) in weight. Adult males normally weigh more than adult females. Coastal Kodiak bears, which feed on high-calorie diet of salmon, can often reach 1,540 pounds (698 kg). Brown bears residing in the interior primarily feed on lower calorie diet of berries, vegetation and small mammals. The weights of interior bears varies from about 330-794 pounds (150-360 kg) in Alaska and British Columbia, to 209-306 pounds (95-139 kg) in the Yukon Territory, to 224-714 pounds (102-324 kg) in Yellowstone National Park.
The fur of a brown bear has many variations of color, from cream to cinnamon and brown to black. The brown bear has a concave outline to the head and snout, small ears on a massive head, and high shoulders that produce a sloping back line. The bear's sense of smell is much more acute than its hearing and sight.
20-25 years in the wild; somewhat longer in zoos
In the wild: Brown bears are omnivorous and eat several different available plants and animals. This includes herbs, tubers, berries, insect grubs, small rodents, salmon, trout, carrion (dead animals), young hoofed animals (moose, elk, deer, caribou) and occasionally livestock.
At the zoo: Canine diet, yams, carrots, apples, oranges, romaine, celery, kale, omnivore biscuits, leaf eater biscuits and bread.
Breeding occurs in May or June after two to 15 days of courtship. However, the fertilized egg does not begin its embryonic stage of development inside the womb until October or November. Bears give birth to the smallest of all mammalian young in proportion to the size of the parent. The young are born helpless and weigh about 13 ounces (369 g). Between January and March, the female gives birth to two or three cubs. After birth, the cubs remain with their mother up to four years (up to five in Alaska). The sow generally gives birth to another litter the first spring after separating from her cubs.
Under most circumstances, brown bears live as lone individuals, except for females accompanied by their cubs. Siblings sometimes remain together for a while after separating from their mother. Despite their propensity for solitary existence, brown bears congregate where food is abundant, such as at salmon streams or garbage dumps.
Bears experience a period of dormancy beginning in November or December, ending in April or May. They spend the dormancy period in their dens. Their body temperature drops, and their general metabolic rate decreases as well. This is not considered complete hibernation. They occasionally emerge from their dens to forage, particularly during spells of warm weather or during years when food is scarce prior to denning. Cubs are also born during the period of denning.
All grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) are a subspecies of brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzly bears. Worldwide, brown bears are found throughout the northern hemisphere in North America, Asia and Europe. The North American populations of brown bears living in the interior portion of this continent are referred to as grizzly bears. This distinguishes them from brown bears living on the coastal areas of Alaska. As brown bears living in the interior become older, the ends of their hair tips turn silvery-gray, giving them a "grizzled" appearance. Hence, the reference to them as grizzly bears.
Researchers suspect that grizzly bears do live in Washington state. However, experts in animal tracking and wildlife sciences can rarely get confirmed sightings. Research indicates that grizzly bears likely live in the North Cascades and the northeast corner of the state, wandering in and out of Canada.
The zoo's two brown bears are grizzly bears. They can be viewed from a number of locations within the Northern Trail. Several overlooks provide fantastic views of the bears ambling over ground and through streams. Two cave-like apertures offer a private view of the bears and their pool. Inside the Taiga Viewing Shelter, visitors can watch the bears swim in their pool and try to catch live trout. Woodland Park Zoo has kept brown bears for nearly 100 years. During this time, these bears have successfully raised 13 cubs.
Brown bears are listed as an endangered species in the countries of Bhutan, Mongolia and China. The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife also lists the brown bear as endangered. Brown bears are considered threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in the lower 48 states. They are not protected in Alaska.
Brown bears inhabit less than 2% of their original range. Furthermore, the current population is less than 2% of its original level. Today, there are between 40,000 and 50,000 brown bears left in the wild. This drop in numbers can be partially attributed to habitat loss and hunting. Fear and ignorance of bears has led to their extermination. An increase in the poaching of bears has also greatly affected bear populations. Poachers harvest bear body parts to provide ingredients for traditional Asian medicines. As a result of their low birth rate combined with a high death rate of cubs (up to 50% mortality), brown bear populations are not recovering from this dramatic decline.
Woodland Park Zoo supports several field-based conservation projects that aim to help animals, plants and habitat in brown bear's range. These include the Selkirk Grizzly Project, DNA research, and the Western Wildlife Outreach.
Since 1998, WPZ has provided funding to the Selkirk Ecosystem Grizzly Bear Recovery Project. Grizzly bears in the Selkirk and Purcell Mountains of northern Idaho and northeastern Washington represent one of the last six remaining grizzly bear populations in the lower 48 states. This project supports the Idaho Fish and Game Department in the field study of grizzly bears and local education programs necessary to stop hunting-related bear deaths. The project hired a conservation officer, whose salary is partly supported by donations from WPZ. The officer meets with approximately 3,000 people per year, teaching them to live, work and recreate in grizzly bear country. During the winter (while the bears are hibernating), this officer gives presentations to students, civic groups, sportsmen's groups, conservation organizations and tourists. During the summer, this officer spends time with hunters in the field. Over 36,000 people have been reached through field patrols, public presentations and school programs. The high rate of conservation education has shown a direct effect on the number of grizzly deaths due to mistaken identity. Since the program's inception, the number of accidental grizzly bear deaths has decreased.
Woodland Park Zoo supports research in cooperation with the University of Washington that helps bears and other large carnivores. One technique is the development of non-invasive molecular methods (such as DNA analysis) to identify and track large carnivore species found in the Pacific Northwest. These species include: cougars, lynx, bobcats, black bears, grizzly bears, wolves, and coyotes. This method will have broad usage in many aspects of carnivore conservation, such as determining species identity and providing carnivore population surveys for other species.
Western Wildlife Outreach (WWO) is a community-based project that facilitates grizzly bear recovery. WWO promotes an accurate understanding of grizzly bear biology, ecology, safety, and behavior. WWO hopes to achieve practical co-existence with grizzly bears through community involvement, education, and high quality outreach materials. This project actively engages a broad array of local people (supporters and opponents) in a process of learning, and provides information using a blend of proven techniques. The staff on this project unites grizzly bear expertise, communication strategy, and local community and wildlife knowledge.
Each in-situ project supported by the zoo aims to provide a broad, holistic approach to conservation, encompassing research, education, habitat and species preservation. This includes comprehensive, cooperative strategies to link the needs of animals with the people who share their ecosystems.
Woodland Park Zoo contributes information to the captive husbandry and public awareness of this intriguing native species. The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Let your elected representatives know your views on protecting endangered species and wild habitats. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts.

Nice Customer service and get a clear idea about car's problem.
My family and I were extremely disappointed because the mechanic turned up to check the car and suspected/diagnosed what the problem might be and promised to come back and fix the car. Surprisingly and shocking the mechanic did not contact us and did not come back. It was not like he came to conned us and left us in limbo. The whole family is disappointed and would like to book any job with TST again. We lost £50 within 6 minutes without any follow up or getting the job done. I am so so disappointed sorry. I don't any future booking please.
Liam come to diagnose the problem Said it was a fault with the key and would get someone he knew to call we never received a call back . When we did get somebody else it was nothing to do with the key it was the steering. So we basically paid £60 for nothing

frank harmon architect, raleigh, n.c.
From the very beginning, Raleigh, N.C., architect Frank Harmon, FAIA, knew that designing a house in the Bahamas would be a test of his design and organizational skills. "It's definitely a challenge to design something you can't visit when you want to," he says. "It's just so good to be able to be on the site all the time." But his clients were interesting, articulate people with a passion for innovative design, so he took a deep breath and jumped in.
The resulting house drew glowing reviews from the judges, who selected it as project of the year. "The house is completely appropriate for its site and context. It goes toward a person and a place—it's not all about type and style," said one judge. "Architects can learn from that." The judges also appreciated the way the project addresses important issues such as green building, weatherproofing, and indoor-outdoor living. "It covers everything," commented one.
Harmon designed the three-story residence from the top down. Fresh water is scarce in this part of the world, so local building regulations required that he incorporate a rain-collection system. He came up with the idea of an inverted roof that would function like an upside-down umbrella, directing rain through a central spout that runs down the center of the house and into two 8,000-gallon cisterns on the ground floor. The roof's upside-down pyramid form also helps cool the home naturally: Its shape forces the air beneath it to flow more quickly than that above it.
The architect describes the roof as a "wood-and-steel hat on a masonry cube." To ensure that the hat doesn't fly off in high winds, local contractor Ivar Unhjem pinned it to the second and ground floors with steel beams and reinforced concrete columns. The masonry cube consists of stucco-finished concrete blocks strengthened with steel bars, a typical Bahamian construction method. The reinforced concrete extends down through the foundation, which Unhjem built into a dead coral reef.
Because the home's third floor pops up above dense foliage to give it 360-degree views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Abaco Sea, Harmon located the main living spaces on that level. The second floor houses the master and guest bedrooms, and the ground floor contains a workshop and the rain cisterns.
Designing so far from the site presented a number of practical problems, but Harmon and his team fired back with equally practical solutions. Intern Vinny Petrarca traveled to Scotland Cay twice to supervise and participate in construction, each time staying for several weeks. To avoid the 50 percent tax the Bahamas imposes on imported materials, the 10-person building crew obtained as much as it could--stucco, wood, and concrete block, for example--from local sources.
Harmon had a chance to see his hurricane-thwarting measures tested in September 1999, when Hurricane Floyd ripped through the Bahamas. The house stayed intact; the hat didn't budge.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If you're into circus metaphors, Dodgers pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu is full of them.
He is juggling delicate objects: media obligations, clubhouse etiquette, a new language and a new culture. He is walking a tightrope: If he gets too confident in his past success, Ryu risks falling; if he gets too intimidated by the major leagues he also will fall.
Surrounded by throngs of Korean-language reporters that follow his every move, Ryu is the ringleader.
The act translates to any language, which is why Ryu's even demeanor and confidence have impressed the Dodgers' brass in such a short time at spring training.
"He sort of reminds me a little bit of Fernando (Valenzuela) as far as his presence, the overall presence," said Rick Honeycutt, the Dodgers' pitching coach and a teammate of Valenzuela from 1983-87. "I learned a lot from Fernando just the way he went about his business. It was like every day, `I do my job the best I can and I expect good results, but if it's bad results I'm not going to dwell on them.'
"He has that (presence) in him that's different."
Before Tuesday, when the 25-year-old southpaw faced live hitters for the first time at Camelback Ranch, the mythical elements of Ryu's background could propagate a certain presence.
Ryu was a right-hander until his father bought him a lefty's mitt at age 10 (he still holds chopsticks, plays ping-pong, writes and bats right-handed). He was an all-star in each of his seven seasons in the KBO, an unknown league to most baseball fans in the United States.
Then there was his physique - officially 6 feet 2 and 215 pounds but probably heavier - that demanded a double-take on TV, in pictures and in person at his first news conference in the U.S. in November.
Ryu now has to answer for his performance in a Dodgers uniform.
With coaches, management and media looking on, Ryu bounced some changeups in the dirt while trying to avoid missing high. He also threw his fastball and curveball but not his slider. Ryu said through an interpreter the slider typically is the last pitch he works on in spring training and he might not unveil it in a spring game until two weeks before the regular season.
Alex Castellanos was one of the batters who stood in against Ryu. The young outfielder said Ryu's fastball appeared to be in the low 90-mph range while the curveball had an unusually large 12-to-6 break for a left-hander that was difficult to pick up. The changeup was Ryu's best pitch.
"I didn't see him throw it for a strike, but I saw him throw it to some other players," Castellanos said. "It was just falling off."
Ryu is scheduled to make his Cactus League debut Sunday and will pitch one inning against the Chicago White Sox. The inning will be closely scrutinized across the United States and South Korea, but Ryu will evaluate it on his own terms.
"I don't care whether I get hit hard," he said through an interpreter. "I'm more concerned about the command, not to give up any bases on balls."
This is where Ryu's tightrope act comes into play. It would be normal for a rookie in his first major-league camp - let alone one who's never pitched in the United States - to have butterflies as his first spring appearance approaches. Not Ryu, apparently.
"Even though everything's new in his surroundings," Honeycutt said. "You still see that he doesn't have any anxiety about anything: `I know I can do what I was brought here to do, and that's pitch.'
"He knows what he's doing. I'm not sure where he got that. I think that's just inside him."
Said Ryu, "That's how I've always been, (calm), it's not something different for me."
What is different is how Ryu will be treated by his new organization.
In South Korea, he may have been the best pitcher in the country. Now Ryu isn't even the best left-hander in camp. Maybe not the second-best, either.
The Dodgers have begun tinkering with the grip Ryu uses for his curveball.
After facing his last batter Tuesday, Ryu walked off the mound and into foul territory where a slight man wearing a number 32 jersey huddled up with Ryu, Honeycutt and the interpreter. The man held the ball high in his left hand and demonstrated the new grip as Ryu watched.
That slight, old tinkerer was Dodgers special advisor Sandy Koufax.
Even the greatest left-hander in franchise history is watching closely now.
As baseball gods go, could Ryu possibly answer to a higher authority?
"I know quite well who Sandy Koufax is," he said. "He's a legend also.
"Everyone in Korea is well aware of him. I know he didn't have that long of a career, but he was able to accomplish (a lot) in that short span."
Consider the history test passed. The first baseball test is Sunday.

Canon EF-M 11-22mm f4-5.6 IS STM lens review: good all round performerBy Kevin Carter - Tuesday September 10 2013 Lens Review
Although not officially released in the US, as the equivalent to an 18-35mm the new EF-M 11-22mm f4-5.6 IS STM is an essential addition to the EOS M system. Read on to find out how well it performs in our labs.
As with their EF-S counterparts, the EF-M series are designed for the smaller APS-C image circle and for the EOS M series bodies in particular. This is limited to just one model presently, which takes its name from the system, the 18-MPix EOS M.
Introduced earlier this year this new wide-angle zoom lens is the equivalent to a 18-35mm field of view and is equipped with both a 3-stop "Dynamic" stabilizer built-in and the firm's new linear stepper motor technology for less intrusive focusing with contrast detection AF during video-capture.
It also features a full-time manual focus option and a new retracting mechanism (and lock) for improved portability. As for the optical construction, it has 12 elements in 9 groups, focuses to just 15cm and weighs 220g. The lens hasn't officially been released in the US, but it is available now in Europe at 406,50 Euro (around $449 after deducting sales Tax).

Meetings. The Senate meets once a month. It is common for standing committees to schedule a regular monthly meeting, but the actual schedule of standing committee meetings will depend on circumstances.
Attendance. Senators are expected to attend all meetings of the Senate and of the standing committee to which they are assigned. If you cannot attend a Senate meeting, you should inform the Senate office by calling 956-7725 or by e-mailing Kristin Herrick <firstname.lastname@example.com>. You may wish to have someone attend the Senate meeting in your place. However, the Senate does not permit proxy voting. If you must miss several meetings, you should resign or take leave from the Senate.
Standing Committees. In many respects, the focus of Senate business is the standing committee. Normally, resolutions and other actions come before the Senate only through standing committees. Standing committees act proactively; they do not simply wait for business to be referred to them. If you wish to have some matter addressed by the Senate, it is best to bring it to the attention of a standing committee or to the Senate Executive Committee, who will then usually refer it to a standing committee.
The Senate Executive Committee (SEC) and liaisons. For each standing committee, one member of the Executive Committee serves as liaison. The liaison attends standing committee meetings and works closely with the standing committee chair. The SEC meets each Monday afternoon for many hours and engages in extensive e-mail discussion between meetings.
Timing of meetings and the preparation of the agenda. The SEC drafts an agenda for a Senate meeting on the Monday of the week preceding the Senate meeting (nine days before the Senate meeting). If a standing committee wishes to bring a matter before the Senate, the liaison must relay it to the SEC at this time. For this reason, standing committees often schedule their regular meetings during the week before the SEC prepares the agenda. The SEC does not need to have final wording of resolutions at the time the agenda is drafted on Monday, but the substance must be known in enough detail so that the Senate can be given notice of the issues they will have to deal with.
The SEC must give adequate notice of the agenda. While there is no particular rule about how much notice must be given, the SEC tries to post the final agenda no later than Thursday or Friday of the week preceding the Senate meeting.
SEC acting for the Senate. The SEC is permitted to act for the Senate when it is impractical to assemble a quorum for a full Senate meeting. In practice, this means that the SEC acts for the Senate during the summer and reports on its summer actions at the first regular fall meeting.
Senate Rules of Order
The Senate's Rules of Order are determined by its Charter and Bylaws and by the most recent edition of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR). There are certain aspects of parliamentary procedure that are especially important to the Senate.
- Informality of debate. Senate debate tends not to be as rigidly formal as the strictest parliamentary traditions would require. (In parliamentary terms, the Senate usually implicitly uses "informal consideration" or "goes into a (quasi) committee of the whole.") For example, when a resolution is introduced by a committee, the Senate Chair will often permit the standing committee chair who introduced the motion to lead a discussion; the Senate Chair will intervene when formal action is needed. And, the Senate Chair will sometimes provide background information or attempt to clarify the issues, though never advocate a position. If some Senator objects to this level of informality, the Senate must observe formal procedures.
- Identifying yourself. Senators must identify themselves as senators and give their name before they speak: "Jim Smith, Senator from LLL". The Senate Secretary needs to know the names for the minutes; other senators need to learn names; and for procedural reasons, the chair needs to know whether someone is a senator. It is helpful if the speaker stands.
- Participation of non-senators. Senate meetings are open, and non-senators may participate in debate at the discretion of the chair, as time permits. The Chair has a responsibility to ensure that the meeting is orderly and that all senators who wish to speak have an opportunity to do so. A senator may ask the Chair to limit the participation of non-senators.
- Quorum. A majority (more than 50%) of the members must be present in order for the Senate or a standing committee to take official action. This is the "quorum." The Chair determines whether a Senate meeting can begin by counting how many Senators have signed in. It is assumed that a quorum continues to be present unless someone questions this ("Point of order; Is there a quorum present?") or the Chair independently notices the absence of a quorum.
- Introducing resolutions. Matters normally come before the Senate from committees. A motion coming from a committee is usually made by the committee chair ("On behalf of the committee, I move..."). A motion from a committee does not require a second. Individual senators may propose resolutions during the "new business" part of the meeting. A motion made by an individual requires a second and must wait until the next Senate meeting to be considered and voted on.
- Ending debate. When debate seems to have gone on long enough, a senator may move to end the debate. "I move that debate be stopped" or "I move the previous question." The chair will ask if there is any objection to ending debate. If there is none, then there is no need to vote on whether to stop debate. ("The previous question passes by unanimous consent.") If anyone wishes to continue debate, then a two-thirds majority vote is required to stop debate.
- Voting. Voting in the Senate is normally done by a show of hands. Occasionally, the chair may ask for a standing vote. In very simple cases, the Chair may ask for a voice vote. If you think the chair has erred in announcing the results of a voice vote, you may demand a show of hands or a standing vote.
- Majorities and abstentions. Motions pass by a majority (more than 50%, or in some cases two-thirds) of those voting yes or no. The chair does not vote except to break a tie. Motions do not require a majority of all those Senators who are present: only of those voting yes or no. A count of abstentions is not required by parliamentary procedure and does not affect the outcome in any way. In the Manoa Faculty Senate it is traditional to invite a count of abstentions so that those senators who wish to do so may show that they abstain. However, Senators who do not wish to vote on a matter do not have to be counted as abstaining.
- Agenda and time limits. The agenda for the Senate lists the items to be taken up and may also suggest the amount of time each item is expected to take. The order may be changed (sometimes the Chair will ask for consent for this). The suggested times are not official limits unless the Senate votes to adopt them. The way to fix the time limits is this: At the beginning of the meeting, a Senator will move to "adopt the agenda, along with the times limits." If this motion passes, then the Senate must adhere to the time limits as well as the order of the items. When the time limit is up, debate stops and a vote is immediately taken, or a motion could be made to postpone the matter (to continue discussion at the next meeting, for example), or to refer it to a committee. To extend the time limit requires a two-thirds vote.
- Dropping a matter without a vote: no tabling. If the Senate wishes to stop discussing a matter, without its then coming to a vote, a motion to "postpone indefinitely" can be made, or the matter can be referred to a committee. The proposer of a motion can also ask for permission to withdraw it (the Senate would have to agree). Another Senator can suggest that the proposer ask to withdraw a motion. Following RONR, the Senate does not permit the use of the undebatable motion to "table" as a device for effectively dropping a proposal without a vote on the substance.
- Friendly amendments. It is common during discussion for someone to propose a change to a resolution aimed at improving the wording without affecting the content. The Chair will permit such a change without a formal vote if no one objects. ("The amendment is adopted by unanimous consent.") Some deliberative bodies (but not our Senate) have a special rule whereby "friendly" amendments to a motion can be made without a vote as long as those who made and seconded the main motion agree to the amendment. This is not permitted under our Rules.
- Referring to a committee. A matter may be referred to a standing committee or to an ad hoc committee. It is possible (though not required) to set a date by which the committee must report to the Senate. The committee may be given a more specific charge, but this is not required. If it is an ad hoc committee, the Senate must either name the committee or say how it is to be set up (usually by the SEC or the Committee on Faculty Service, under certain guidelines). The Senate may also specify a term-length for an ad hoc committee.
