NBAR Introduction
Q. What is NBAR2?
A. NBAR2 (or Next Generation NBAR) is a re-architecture of NBAR based on the Service Control Engine (SCE) with advanced classification techniques, accuracy and many more signatures. NBAR2 is backward compatible and is supported on ISR-G2 and ASR1K platforms. NBAR2 is adopted as a Cisco cross platform protocol classification mechanism. It supports 1000 + application and sub-applications. Cisco adds/provides new signatures and signatures updates through monthly released protocol packs.
Q. What are the key benefits of NBAR2?
A. NBAR2 offers following key benefits over NBAR:
- Advanced classification techniques: NBAR2 leverage classification techniques from SCE, which allow classification of IPv4, IPv6 and v6 transition techniques. NBAR2 can classify evasive applications such as Skype and Tor, as well as business applications such as ms-lync, cloud applications such as office-365 and even mobile applications such as facetime etc. using advanced classification techniques.
- Field extraction support: It provides the mechanism to extract pre-defined fields from packet headers, which can be exported via Flexible NetFlow (FNF) for reporting.
- Categorization and attributes: It provides the mechanism to match protocols or applications based on statically assigned attributes such as application-group, category, sub-category, encrypted and tunnel. Categorizing the protocols and applications into different groups helps with reporting and applying Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
- Common protocol library for NBAR2 across platforms: It offers platform independent signatures for NBAR2 supported platforms.
- Signatures delivery through protocol pack: A protocol pack is a set of protocols developed and packaged together. Protocol packs are a means to distribute protocol updates outside the Cisco operating system release train and allows more rapid, more flexible and faster adjustment to market trends. Protocol packs can be loaded on the router without replacing the Cisco IOS or reloading the device.
- Custom protocol using HTTP URL and/or host name: It provides the mechanism to define custom protocols to match based on HTTP URL and/or host name.
Q. Which platforms support NBAR2?
A. NBAR2 is supported on Cisco Network devices such as ISR-G2, ASR1K ,CSR 1000V, ASA-CX and Wireless LAN Controller.
Q. Which protocols can NBAR2 classify?
A. The NBAR2 classification engine recognizes and classifies a wide variety of protocols and applications, including web-based and other difficult-to-classify applications and protocols that use dynamic TCP/UDP port assignments. Please refer to the link below for the complete list of NBAR2 supported protocols
Protocol Pack Introduction
Q. What is a protocol pack?
A. Traditionally, protocols were linked to CIsco operating software and customers had to upgrade Cisco operating software to get new protocol support. Protocol packs are a set of protocols developed and packaged together, and provide a means to distribute new protocols, protocol updates and bug fixes outside the Cisco operating software releases, and can be loaded on the network devices without replacing the Cisco operating software.
Q. Why is NBAR2 transitioning to a protocol pack model?
A. An application modules (also known as PDLM) were traditionally used to add new protocol support. A PDLM extends the list of protocols that NBAR can recognize. As opposed to a PDLM, a protocol pack is a single compressed file that contains multiple PDL files. Protocol packs allow users to load a set of protocols together rather than load them separately. Protocol packs provide an easy way to distribute new protocols, protocol updates and bug fixes. Protocol packs are easy to load. It is easy to upgrade to a later, more updated protocol pack, or revert to a previous version of a protocol pack (this is dependent on compatibility constraints). A protocol pack can be loaded on a device without replacing the Cisco OS image or rebooting the device. With NBAR2 transition to protocol pack model, PDLM are not provided any more. NBAR users using PDLM are recommended to migrate to protocol packs.
Q. Which NBAR2 platforms support protocol pack releases?
A. Today, NBAR protocol packs are released for Cisco ISR-G2, CSR 1000V and ASR1K platforms. The table below shows the minimum Cisco IOS /IOS-XE version required for loading a Protocol Pack.
|Minimum IOS/IOS-XE Release
|First Protocol Pack
|Cisco IOS 15.2(4)M
|Protocol Pack 2.1.0
|Cisco IOS-XE3.7
|Protocol Pack 2.1.0
|Cisco IOS-XE3.9
|Protocol Pack 5.0.0
Q. Are protocol packs supported on NBAR-1 supported platforms such as Cisco ISR-G1, 7200, 7301 etc.?
A. Protocol packs are supported only on NBAR2 platforms.
Protocol Pack Release
Q. How frequently are protocol packs released?
A. Protocol packs are released monthly; major and minor packs released in alternate months. Major protocol packs deliver new protocols (up to 10), signature updates and bug fixes, in addition to all previously supported protocols. Major protocol packs are numbered as: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and so on. Minor protocol packs deliver signature updates and bug fixes only, in addition to previously supported protocols. Minor protocol packs are numbered as: 1.1, 2.1, .3.1 and so on.
The PP 2.1 is a first Protocol Pack release on Cisco IOS (ISR-G2) and Cisco IOS-XE (ASR1K). Cisco IOS (ISR-G2) protocol packs are released ~3 weeks later ASR1K protocol packs. Cisco may decide to skip minor protocol pack in particular month if If there is no significant content in pp.
Q. How are protocol packs released?
A. The Cisco IOS (ISR-G2) and Cisco IOS-XE (ASR1K) protocol packs are released monthly on Cisco.com (CCO). Customers can download protocol packs for their routers from the CCO software download location: Software Download
Q. Where do I find a protocol pack for my router on CCO?
A. NBAR users can download Cisco IOS (ISR-G2) and Cisco IOS-XE (ASR1K) protocol packs from the CCO software download page: Software Download

Q. Does a user need special access or permission to download a protocol pack from the Cisco software download web page?
A. NBAR users having access to CCO can download NBAR protocol packs from the software download web page.
Q. Does a user need a license of any kind to access NBAR protocol packs?
A. NBAR users having a AVC (Application Visibility and Control) feature license can load and use protocol packs on routers. Please refer to the protocol pack licensing section in this document for more details.
Q. What is the protocol pack image name on CCO?
A. The protocol pack release name format is:
pp: represents protocol pack adv: represents advanced protocol pack (refer to the licensing section below for more details) PLT: represents the platform for which the protocol pack is built. i.e. ISR-G2 or ASR1K IOS: represents the base Cisco IOS/ IOS-XE image for the protocol pack E: represents the NBAR engine version M: represents the Major protocol pack release number m: represents the Minor protocol pack release number r: represents the rebuild number
For example: An advanced protocol pack for a ISR-G2 product:
pp-adv-isrg2-152-4M1-13-2.0.0.pack (Major protocol pack release 2.0.0)
pp-adv-isrg2-152-4M1-13-2.1.0.pack (Minor protocol pack release 2.1.0)
Q. Where do I find information about the content of the protocol pack?
A. Customers can refer to the protocol pack release notes for new contents of protocol packs. Please click on the link below to access release notes under the NBAR2 protocol pack section: NBAR2 Protocol Pack Library
Protocol Pack SLA (Service Level Agreement)
The NBAR protocol pack SLA describes the types of services offered to NBAR2 supported platforms. Today NBAR protocol packs are released to ISR-G2 and ASR1K platforms. Cisco will use best effort to meet the target for all services. For any reason, if Cisco does not meet the target, Cisco customers are not entitled to make a compensation claim.
Services are outlined in the table below*:
|Protocol Pack SLA
|Frequency of protocol pack
|Protocol packs are released every month for supported platfroms.
|Number of new protocols in a major protocol pack
|Number of new protocols in every major protocol pack
|Protocol pack lifetime support
|Please refer "protocol pack support model" table below
|Protocol pack support for Cisco IOS and IOS-XE releases
- Please note: Information in the table above is subject to change without notice.
Q. What is the support model for protocol packs?
A. Protocol pack support is aligned with the Cisco IOS/IOS-XE release support model. The support timeline is not for the protocol pack but for the base image. Extended Maintenance (EM) releases get more protocol packs compared to Standard Maintenance (SM) releases. Protocol packs on EM releases get support (critical bug fixes and PSIRT) for a longer duration as compared to standard maintenance releases. The table below summarizes the protocol pack support for different Cisco IOS/IOS-XE releases.
|Current IOS Release
|Protocol Pack Support
|T train (EM Release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 12 months
Critical Bug Fix Phase = 18 months
PSIRT Phase = 12 months
|T train (SM Release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 6 months
Critical Bug Fix Phase = 6 months
PSIRT Phase = 6 months
|S train (EM release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 12 months
PSIRT Phase = 12 months
|S Train (SM release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 6 months
PSIRT Phase = 6 months
|S train (SM release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 6 months
PSIRT Phase = 6 months
|New IOS Release
|Protocol Pack Support
|T Train(EM Release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 18 months
Critical Bug Fix Phase = 18 months
PSIRT Phase = 12 months
|T Train (SM release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 6 months
Critical Bug Fix phase = 6 months
PSIRT Phase = 6 months
|S Train (EM Release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 18 months
Critical Bug Fix Phase = 18 months
PSIRT Phase = 12 months
|S Train (SM release)
|Monthly PP Phase = 6 months
Critical bug fix Phase = 6 months
PSIRT Phase = 6 months
- Please note: Information in table above is subject to change without notice
Extended Maintenance (EM) releases such as Cisco IOSXE 3.10 and Cisco IOS 15.3(3) T will have protocol pack support for 48 months. Of which, 18 months will be the protocol pack phase, followed by the next 18 months for the critical bug fix phase and then the next 12 months for the PSIRT phase.
Standard Maintenance (SM) releases such as Cisco IOS 15.4(1) T and Cisco IOS-XE 3.11 will have protocol pack support for 18 months. Protocol pack phase will be for 6 months, followed by 6 months of the critical bug fix phase and then the next 6 months will be the PSIRT phase.
Protocol pack support defines three phases:
Protocol Pack Phase: Monthly protocol packs are released in this phase. Bug fixes are provided in next possible protocol pack, giving priority to critical signature defects and PSIRT. Customers must provide sufficient information to reproduce and test the scenario that the signature does not detect.
Critical Bug Fix Phase: There are no monthly protocol packs in this phase. Only critical signature defects and PSIRT will be fixed / addressed during this phase. Customers must provide sufficient information to reproduce and test the scenario that the signature does not detect.
PSIRT Phase: There are no monthly protocol packs in this phase. Only PSIRT will be addressed during this phase. Customers must provide sufficient information to reproduce and test the scenario that the signature does not detect.
Cisco will use its best efforts to create a signature with the maximum fidelity possible, with the NBAR technology available at that time. However, in some rare cases, it may not be possible to create such a signature until additional details regarding the test scenario, that does not detect signature, have been discovered or disclosed. In these situations, rather than releasing a low-fidelity signature, Cisco will continue to assess the situation and gather additional data until a signature of sufficient fidelity can be released. Signatures may be improved over time to add additional detection capabilities.
Q. If a protocol pack can be used across a set of IOS image versions, how it will have different support timelines for SM and EM releases?
A. The support timeline is not for the protocol pack, but for the base image. A protocol pack is released every month–for the platforms and versions that support it. If PP9.0 is released only for 3.9 and up, users won't be able to use it for 3.7, because it will be rejected.
Protocol Pack Licensing
Q. Which license do NBAR users require to load protocol packs?
A. The NBAR2 users require the AVC (Application Visibility and Control) license on routers to load the protocol pack.
|Cisco Image / Package License
|ISR-G2 (880 and 890)
|Advanced IP Image Services (AVC License)
|AX / DATA License
|Advanced IP Services (AIS) Image or Advanced Enterprise Services Image (AES)
and in addition AVC RTU license
|Premium package
Advanced NBAR2 is enforced on a device configured with AVC license. It supports all protocols/applications (aka Advanced Protocol Pack) and all NBAR2 features. Standard NBAR2 is enforced on a Device without AVC license. It supports very limited NBAR2 functionality and only subset of Protocols (aka Standard Protocol Pack).
The "pProtocol pPack" mentioned throughout this document refers to "Advanced Protocol Pack".
Q. What is the difference between an advanced and standard protocol pack?
A. The Standard Protocol Pack includes only subset of protocols and is not released periodically. It is not available on CCO for download and does not carry any SLA. It is default protocol pack on a device which has no AVC license. It supports very limited NBAR2 functionality. The standard protocol pack provides an option for NBAR1 users to upgrade to NBAR2 maintaining NBAR1 capabilities. If NBAR1 had limitations, they will remain in the standard protocol pack and will not be fixed.
The advanced protocol pack includes all NBAR2 supported protocols/applications. Support for new protocols/applications, signature updates and bug fixes are released periodically on CCO as explained above in the "Protocol Pack Release" section. It carries SLA (Service Level Agreement) as explained above. It supports all NBAR2 features and is a default protocol pack on device with an AVC license.
Cisco recommends Advanced Protocol Pack to all NBAR users.
Q. Which protocols / applications are supported in the standard protocol pack?
A. Table below lists the protocols / applications supported in the standard protocol pack.
|Enterprise Applications
|Security and Tunneling
|Network Mail services
|Citrix ica
|Routing Protocols
|Network Management
|Streaming Media
|Direct connect
Protocol Pack Loading
Q. How can users load/unload a protocol pack?
A. The compatible protocol pack must first be copied locally to the router. The "ip nbar protocol-pack < protocol pack file>" command can be used to load a protocol pack on the router. The command syntax is:
[no] ip nbar protocol-pack <protocol pack file> [force]
The <protocol pack file> can be loaded from either the disk or flash, i.e. anything which is local to the router.
ip nbar protocol-pack flash0:pp_file
To unload any previously loaded protocol pack "no" version of the above CLI should be executed.
no ip nbar protocol-pack flash0:pp_file
Alternatively, the following command will revert to the protocol pack that is built into the image.
Default protocol-pack
Q. What is the use of "force" option while loading/unloading a protocol pack?
A. Under normal circumstances, there are a number of checks that are performed before a protocol pack can be loaded. These include:
A] The version of the protocol pack should not be higher than the one in the base image (Integrated PP).
B] The protocol pack must include all the protocols that are currently activated.
C] The protocol pack must include all the active attributes
If any of these checks fail, then the loading of the protocol pack is not allowed.
These checks can be bypassed, if the protocol pack load CLI is used with the "force" keyword.
ip nbar protocol-pack flash0:pp_file force
The CLI should be executed with the "force" argument in the following scenarios:
1.When the user needs to retain the loaded protocol pack configuration across the Cisco IOS version upgrades/downgrades.
2.The force option can be used to override the active protocols check. When the force option is used, the CLI will be accepted if protocol pack doesn't contain the current active protocol(s).
Example: If User tries to load Protocol Pack 3.0 when base image Protocol Pack (Integrated PP) version is 5.0, Upgrade will be rejected with an error message
"% NBAR Error: Protocol pack version 3.0 is lower than default protocol pack version 5.0"
User can use Force option to load PP3.0.
Q. Which show commands can users use for a protocol pack on the device?
A. The "show ip nbar protocol-pack active" command can be used to view the details of the current active protocol pack. The command syntax is:
show ip nbar protocol-pack <active | protocol pack file> [detail]
This active protocol pack may be the one that is supplied with the base image or a custom protocol pack loaded by the user. The "show ip nbar protocol-pack <protocol pack file>" command can be used to view the details of a non-loaded protocol pack file. Without the "detail" argument, the protocol pack information such as name, publisher, and version will be displayed. With the "detail" argument, the content of protocol pack in details such as the protocols and version in the pack will be displayed.
Q. Can a user load a protocol pack on any Cisco IOS/IOS-XE image?
A. The minimum IOS version required to load a NBAR protocol pack on a ISR-G2 platforms is Cisco IOS Software Release15.2(4) M. Minimum IOS XE version required to load NBAR protocol pack on ASR1K platforms is Cisco IOS-XE 3.7. Protocol packs are released to specific NBAR engine versions. For example, Cisco IOS XE3.7 has NBAR engine 13, so protocol packs for it are written for engine 13 (pp-adv-asr1k-152-4.S-13-3.0.0.pack). Loading a protocol pack can be done if the engine version on the platform is the same or higher than the version required by the protocol pack (13 in the example above). Therefore NBAR protocol pack 3.0.0 for Cisco IOS-XE 3.7 can be loaded on top of Cisco IOS-XE3.7 and Cisco IOS-XE3.8. But protocol pack 3.0.0 for Cisco IOS-XE 3.8 cannot be loaded on top of XE3.7 To view the NBAR engine version on the device, use:
Router#sh ip nbar version | include software
It is strongly recommended to use the protocol pack that is the exact match for the engine, and also recommended to use the latest protocol pack for the base image.
Q. What are the steps to upgrade the protocol pack on the router?
A. Case 1: Upgrade the protocol pack on the router running Cisco IOS-XE 3.7
A] Use following command to check the current active protocol pack on device.
show ip nbar protocol-pack active
B] Download the latest compatible protocol pack for Cisco IOS-XE 3.7 from the Cisco software download page. The compatible protocol pack has the engine version the same as the Cisco IOS-XE 3.7 image. Copy the protocol pack to the disk (including on standby).
C] Load the new protocol pack using the following command.
Router#ip nbar protocol-pack flash0:pp_file
D] Verify that the new protocol pack is successfully loaded and is active.
Router#show ip nbar protocol-pack <active | protocol pack file> [detail]
Case 2: Protocol pack upgrade during IOS upgrade from Cisco IOS XE 3.7 to 3.8
A] Use following command to check the current active protocol pack on the device. Assuming the current protocol pack is PP3.0.0 for XE3.7.
show ip nbar protocol-pack active
B] Download the protocol pack 3.0.0 for XE 3.8 or the latest compatible protocol pack from the Cisco software download page. The compatible protocol pack has the engine version the same as the Cisco IOS-XE 3.8 image. Copy the protocol pack to the disk (including on standby).
C] Upgrade the IOS to XE3.8 (at this point NBAR is working with a non-recommended protocol pack (3.0 for 3.7 on top of 3.8)
D] Load the new protocol pack using below command.
Router#ip nbar protocol-pack flash0:pp_file
E] Verify that new protocol pack is successfully loaded and is active.
Router#show ip nbar protocol-pack <active | protocol pack file> [detail]
Q. If I load incompatible protocol pack on my router, what is the impact?
A. If a user tries to load incompatible protocol pack on router, it will be rejected with an error message saying protocol pack is incompatible with underlying IOS NBAR software version. The Previous protocol pack will remain active on device.
Q. What is the impact of loading protocol pack to running traffic?
A. While loading protocol pack, data forwarding continues but Packets are classified as unknown (ID:0) till new protocol pack becomes active. Protocol pack loading time varies and it depends on protocol pack contents and platform. Users are not allowed to enter any cli till protocol pack loading is completed.
Q. The protocol pack file pp-adv-isrg2-152-4.M1-13-3.0.0.pack indicates IOS release as 15.2(4)M1. I have 15.2(4)M2, will the protocol pack work?
A. Yes, it will work. Major release such as 15.2(4)M and all its rebuilds (M1, M2, M3, etc) have same NBAR engine version. A protocol pack compatible with NBAR engine in IOS release 15.2(4)M will work with all its rebuilds such as 15.2(4)M1,15.2(4)M2, etc.
Q. How do I determine which PP is included with a particular IOS release? Does latest IOS release come with latest PP?
A. When Cisco IOS/IOS-XE image is released, it comes with integrated default protocol pack. This default protocol pack includes contents of protocol pack available at the time of integration. Protocol pack and IOS/IOS-XE images have different release cycles. So it is difficult to map particular protocol pack with IOS/IOS-XE image. It is also not guaranteed that new IOS/IOS-XE image will have any contents of latest protocol pack.

Today, I present to you a recap of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season 3 finale/reunion special (part 1). It's like a super RHOBH recap. And I am nothing if not immensely proud of myself for getting through this entire thing without throwing my Mac across the room.
Why? Because of good ol' Adrienne, as freaking usual. My parents taught me to have compassion, but I just can't with Adrienne, apparently. Even as I was watching the preview, I didn't feel anything besides annoyance. Why would you bring all of your drama to Ken and Lisa's vow-renewal ceremony? Why does everything this season have to be about Adrienne?
Even the episodes that she refused to appear on, for one reason or another, all devolved into huge discussions about who she was beefing with, how much money she really has, blah, blah, blah. In fact, the first teaser I saw from the reunion was Andy Cohen, talking about Adrienne being absent from the reunion special.
Anyway, I'm getting completely off track. Let us begin with the season finale. We pick back up at Lisa and Ken's party, right after Faye has stuck her decidedly unladylike nose into Marisa and Brandi's conversation. I don't have the heart to re-summarize what all of this nonsense is about, so kindly take a peak at last week's recap if you can't remember.
Yolanda and Brandi simply cannot believe she would 1. Interrupt their (chill) conversation with Marisa to start drama. 2. Do so at Lisa's party. 3. Blame Brandi for Paul and Adrienne's separation. What is the point of Faye on this show? Just to be as stereotypically catty and diabolical as possible?
And aside from the fact that this concept of being a "lady" is total outdated, limiting and misogynistic, this is coming from the woman who wrote a book and posed for Playboy after testifying in the trial to find her best friend's killer? (Honey, we didn't forget.) She gets to call Brandi trashy?
Lisa obviously comes over to find out exactly what's going on to ruin her function. They clue her in on it all, and naturally she and Yolanda are both livid. Perhaps to remind us that she was once awesome, too, Marisa comes over and finishes her conversation with Brandi. Initially, she tries to excuse Faye's behavior, saying Faye came over to back her up, but Yolanda squashes that lie. Faye only butted into their conversation to trash Brandi.
Long story short: Brandi shouldn't worry herself over Marisa's marital whatever, and Marisa should come to Brandi to discuss issues with Brandi. All seems well, but Brandi is curious to know which one of the women said she'd sleep with anyone, including a married man. Of course, that was good ol' Faye.
Taylor's across the room with Linda, and has picked this time to tell her friend that she's had difficulty being cool with Yolanda because Linda was Yolanda's husband, David. Head hurt yet? Linda has moved on, and seems to get along with Yolanda and David quite well. Taylor finally lets go of this made-up beef with Yolanda, and I'm so glad. Taylor is nowhere near ready to take that woman on.
Then Faye actually starts a fight with Lisa AT HER SUPER CUTE VOW-RENEWAL/HOUSEWARMING PARTY. Kick her all the way out of your house, Lisa, and let the swans chase her all the way home.
Faye accuses Lisa of treating Brandi like an attack dog of sorts, using Brandi to handle all of her problems with the other women. To which I say, girl bye. Lisa's soooo right. Faye is spreading malicious gossip, even though she was so appalled when Brandi spread a rumor about Adrienne.
Besides, never have I ever witnessed Brandi picking a fight with someone on this show because Lisa told her to. If anything, Brandi's previous feuds with Kyle, Kim and Taylor were ALL her own.
In fact, at the beginning of this season, Lisa was telling Brandi how to stay OUT of trouble, 'member? It was right before the party at Villa Rosa that Adrienne was so pissed she wasn't invited to that she sent that "floral arrangement." Plus, as Lisa and Yolanda point out, Faye's acted as Kyle's attack dog ALL SEASON.
And now that she feels like she's losing, Faye is "bored" by it all. Instead of throwing Faye's trifling behind out by her weave, Lisa picks this time to challenge Kyle's loyalty. She wants Kyle to back her up in an argument, just this once.
Of course, Kyle fails miserably. Not sure what Kyle wants from Lisa at this point. Kyle's jealous of Lisa's friendship with Brandi, and yet she cannot bring herself to y'know, ACTUALLY BE A FRIEND TO LISA. (Obviously, I'm going to be typing in all caps a lot tonight. My apologies. I'm emotional.)
Kyle is trying her best to wriggle her way out of admitting that she is the one who Faye has been speaking for. Brandi admits that she's had her problems with Kim, Kyle and Taylor, but they have worked on them. It's funny how Kyle, who was the catalyst for so much crap being started at the beginning of the season, now wants peace.
Kim gets pissed because Kyle failed to acknowledge the fact that Brandi hurt her, as well. Kim and Brandi have made up, and seemed to get closer this season. This argument feels a little petty. But then again, Brandi and Kyle outing her alcohol issues on national television did hurt Kim's kids, so it should be difficult for her to let that go completely.
That's when Adrienne rolls up, lacefront askew, looking like she's been crying for hours. I know you're hurting (trying with the compassion again) but why, oh why, would you come to Lisa's party the same day you were served papers? Ken is upset that Adrienne showed up to their party, and didn't even come up to him and Lisa -- to apologize for being late, say congrats, whatever.
Somehow, in her confessional, Adrienne still thinks it's OK that she ruined this woman's party like this. Instead, she's upset that Lisa didn't come over to comfort her. That is the most backward, self-centered statement ever. That was a conversation for tomorrow, not for the night of Lisa's party. Which was planned way in advance of the announcement of your separation.
And it's gotten to Lisa, too. She feels icky about renewing her vows after all of the fighting and tears. Brandi's pep talk to get Lisa downstairs to the ceremony was so sweet and genuine. Love seeing healthy friendships between women on reality TV.
To top that sugar off, Lisa and Ken make it through the ceremony. It's OK if you've got a bit of dust in your eyes, guys. And their cute little banter throughout it all: Goodness, if we could all find a love like Ken and Lisa's. This is better than any Hallmark Channel movie I've ever seen. I actually giggled when Ken smushed the cake into Lisa's face, bruh. GIGGLED.
Now on to the reunion. As I mentioned before, it basically began with Andy Cohen acknowledging Adrienne-gate and how thoroughly annoying that was for everyone involved. The fact that we still are not 100 percent sure what it was that Brandi said to incur Maloof's wrath is just – I'm so glad she won't be back next season.
At the reunion, Kim and Kyle are too ready to blame Brandi for Adrienne deciding to leave the show. News flash, ladies. Adrienne didn't leave the show because of Brandi and her gossip. She left the show because I willed it to happen. Yes. The sheer power of my annoyance traveled – trans-continentally, no less – and inspired Adrienne to chuck the deuces and focus on shoes or vodka, or whatever the heck else she's up to. I don't care. As long as she's not on this show next season, sending threatening letters and then lying about it. Or giving Faye a reason to speak.
Brandi stands up for herself, though. She insists that Adrienne started it all, and that she will "f****** cut a b****" if she has to, in order to defend herself.
We finally (kind of) learn the identity of Taylor's mystery man from a few episodes back. She's been seeing her not-yet-completely-divorced attorney. (Brandi's obviously upset about that, given the Eddie situation.) The BF lives in Denver, though, and she was flying out to see him when the whole "Where's Kennedy?" mix-up happened at Kyle's party. Her mother and her nanny had a miscommunication, so even though Taylor admits she has a problem with alcohol, she says she wouldn't have known where Kennedy was if she was sober, either.
Andy then brings up Lisa and Kyle's beef. Lisa believes that she and Kyle stopped being close after Kyle (more like Mauricio, probably) sold Lisa's house – which is a level of shadiness that is practically beyond comprehension.
Kyle insists that it's because Lisa got close to Brandi and left her behind, but she doesn't want to fight with Brandi. Instead, she wants to settle this with Lisa. Brandi and Kyle aren't at odds, and have actually become, sort of, OK with each other.
Yolanda isn't about keeping the peace this time, though. She brings up Kyle's fight with Lisa in Paris and Kyle's two-faced, trouble-making ways.
Somehow, Kyle and Kim have decided that the best way for Kyle to win Lisa back is to break up her budding friendship with Yolanda. She tells Lisa that while they were in Paris, Yolanda said Lisa was "full of s***," which totally could've happened when Yolanda was annoyed with Lisa after Lisa made that joke about Kim possibly taking too many pain killers.
Either way, Lisa's pretty much fed-up with Kyle, so whether she believed Yolanda when she denied it, is up for debate. Either way Lisa told Kyle that she believed Yolanda, which made Kyle turn another color. And it was the best.
We also finally get to the bottom of why Yolanda's scenes were usually with her family at the beginning of the season. None of the other women really reached out to her to be her friend.
Kyle accused Yolanda of being cold, but Brandi insisted that Yolanda is just from overseas. Which kind-of makes sense. It could be the slight social awkwardness of living in a country that is not your own. Or, it could be that Yolanda is just ballsy and upfront in a way that Kyle's not used to.
Meanwhile, it comes out that Kyle, apparently, didn't bother to offer Yolanda a glass of water when Yolanda was sick in her driveway. Sooo…who's cold now?
Yolanda got a lot of grief for some of her more, um, un-PC/controversial scenes this season. Admittedly, some of the things noted were issues I was initially turned off by – her Stepford wife-like view of marriage, the weird "pep talk" she gave a worker who didn't speak English, etc.
No one is perfect, and Yolanda's foot did spend a good bit of time in her mouth early on in the season, but if I grew to like her, anyone can.
Next week: Reunion Part 2!!! Well, really, Lisa vs. Kyle/Kim (Part 2). Dun dun dunn!

I've just recently joined an on-line community of people who support VBAC, HBAC, and discuss the trauma and risks of c/s. I am hoping that I can gain some courage from this listserv and get some answers!
Through this listserv I came across the website for the ICAN (International Cesarean Awareness Network) Publications Director. She posted her birth stories – the first one a traumatic-sounding c/s, and the second an empowering HBAC. Her stories give me hope, but they also stir up regret and anger as I begin my journey anew. The regret I can work through. The anger I can use as fuel.
Condemned before beginning
This gal discusses how she felt condemned before she even tried to get pregnant the first time. Her midwife was an infertility specialist of sorts and had probably seen a lot of women who suffered with infertility. She told this woman that her age 31 – the same age I was when I conceived my daughter – could contribute to conception problems. Geez!
I didn't have that experience first time around, but two OBs here in town have condemned me. I have been enticed to fail or give up. I am new to this town so have had to search for new practitioners. I had been thinking that I would try a hospital VBAC with an OB and a doula. (My first labor was attended by a midwife, the L&D nurses at the hospital, and my husband). I believed that the first OB I saw was a supporter of VBAC, and since he had recently built a free-standing birth center, I decided to visit him. I've never had a male gynecologist but was willing to work with a man if I thought it would be best for me and a future baby. When he did the pelvic exam, he determined that my pelvis is ample laterally but narrow longitudinally. I'm supposing that is what is referred to in the medical field as a "contracted pelvis", but I'm not certain.
I was having trouble with my birth control method and needed to be seen. I was on the Nuvaring, and I highly discourage its use. It can fall out without you even knowing, for one. My new OB/GYN wasn't able to see me, but his new partner could see me. The staff spoke very kindly of this new partner. He didn't feel the need to do an exam ("I can do one if you want"), so we just talked. Since he's the other doctor's back-up, I decided to ask him about his experience with VBACs. Here's what I learned in a very short amount of time:
- Yes, I do them (not yes I encourage them as much as possible).
- "Why wouldn't you just do a scheduled repeat c?"
- "Your tubes will just be flopping around during the surgery, so we could tie them for you." (Did I mention that I was interested in having my tubes tied? NO!)
- When I explained a little of my unique situation he said "wow, this is just getting worse!" meaning that he had little faith that I could do a VBAC.
- They will likely discontinue their VBAC services because the hospital is forcing them to labor-sit all VBAC candidates and that completely paralyzes their practice.
What a piece of work that guy was – so presumptuous! He treated me like I was a village idiot not a highly-educated fully-cognizant woman. I decided then and there to leave the practice. Even if the 1st OB was a dream (which I wasn't sure), I couldn't take the chance that this yahoo would be my L&D partner.
The Body is Wise
I am an opera singer, so I am pretty "in tune" with my body. Singing requires excellent coordination of breath and tone. I know how my abdomen, pelvis, and throat should feel in order to produce an optimal sound. However, I've never particularly considered the body to be wise. But the body often knows better than the mind.
Late in my pregnancy I had quite a bit of pain. Of course it had been painful for most of the pregnancy to roll over in bed, but as my baby took up more space, new pains arose. I was often temporarily debilitated by intense pains when walking. It felt like my daughter was scraping or poking my cervix. What was she doing down there and how was she doing it? I don't know and didn't ask my midwife about it. But I think she had her hands up by her head during most of the pregnancy, and certainly "arms up" was a position that loved outside the womb.
My due date came and went. I saw my midwife who said that I was still about a week out. We went home a bit dejected but enjoyed a quiet afternoon at home without the extended family. I started getting violently ill that evening which began producing very strong contractions. I didn't really consider that I was in labor. The contractions were manageable; the illness was NOT. I probably should have tried to contact one of the doulas I knew to see if they had any remedies for my symptoms. I didn't want to go to the hospital . . . didn't know how I'd get there without getting sick in the car . . . didn't think I could walk the few steps to the car. In retrospect, I wonder if I should have stayed home and dealt with the dehydration on my own.
"That's not amniotic fluid!"
We arrived at the hospital, and I was evidently 9cm dilated. I knew that I didn't want any intervention, but I allowed my midwife to break my water. I think that was a big mistake. Catherine didn't slide into position as expected. I was so weak that I didn't try alternate birthing positions. Since I had diarrhea along with the vomiting, I felt inhibited. I didn't want to get in a different position that might gross my midwife out. Stupid! Listen to the body! The body said, "Laboring on your left side really sucks." The fetal monitor argued back: "Laboring sitting up stresses out the baby." I ignored my body, and I pushed from my side to no avail.
Everyone was tired. My contractions seemed constant (though the monitor told its own story) but were unproductive. I had such a strong urge to push, and that urge stuck with me for hours. The midwife called the OB. I really liked the OB – she's no nonsense but cute and friendly. She has children of her own. She thought she could get the baby out naturally. After an hour she gave up. So did I.
"So how has this changed me? I am much less trusting than I ever was. I have a better understanding of my limits, and a raging hatred for those who sought to impose limits upon me when I was weak, who told me I wasn't progressing…but what is 9 centimeters dilation, if not progress? I have a face to put to those who place their own political standing above the health and well-being of those in their care. And above all else, I have more faith in myself than I ever had before, because now I have a clear picture of what happens when you place your faith in someone else when it truly rests with you." – Laureen
Her statement resonates on many levels. I too am much less trusting of the medical profession in general. I too ended up with a c/s for failing to progress (I assume), even though I was fully dilated. I too despise the political element of health care. Personal agenda has no place in health care. I hate the fact that being a woman often causes me to be treated as a lesser man – not only by OBs, but by mental health practitioners and even pediatricians!
I have been forever changed. I bear physical and mental scars of my history. However, the scars can serve as reminders when I am feeling weak or am being attacked for my beliefs. And perhaps my scars can save others from this same fate.

Razorbacks Run Through Ragin' Cajuns
The Arkansas Razorbacks looked a lot like the Wisconsin Badgers Saturday as they rushed for 292 yards, running past the Ragin' Cajuns 34-14.
Head Coach Bret Bielema, who left Wisconsin last season to coach the Razorbacks, brought with him a rushing attack that got after the Cajuns all day long. The one-two punch of Sophomore Jonathan Williams and true freshman Alex Collins, running behind an All-SEC Center and an offensive line that opened numerous holes for them all day long, each finished with over 100 yards rushing. As Coach Bielema pointed out during the television broadcast, it more than helped ease Soph. QB Brandon Allen into the game after suffering through a 4-8 season last year in which just about everything seemed to go wrong for the Razorbacks.
On the opening drive, the Cajuns got a quick dose of what they would be seeing for most of the game: Allen handing off to either Williams or Collins. The two RBs gashed the Cajuns defense, setting up a wide open 6-yard TD pass from Allen to Sr. WR Javontee Herndon, who finished with 2 TDs on 3 catches for 73 yards.
The Cajuns offense responded, though, with a balanced attack led by Jr. QB Terrance Broadway. After converting an early 3rd and 3 in their own territory, the Cajuns drove deep into Razorback territory, but after Broadway's pass to WR James Butler was tipped in the end zone by an Arkansas defender, departed kicker Brett Baer's replacement, Stephen Brauchle, missed a short field goal to leave the score at 7-0 Arkansas.
It stayed that way until the 2nd Quarter when Jr. RB Alonzo Harris punched in a 2-yard TD run after Freshman RB Elijah Maguire made a sensational catch on a wheel route to set up the score. That made the score 7-7.
But then Allen stepped up the aerial attack that made this Razorback offense even harder to stop, completing pass after pass after noticing the Cajuns had been loading up the box to stop the run. A 49-yard TD pass to Herndon put Arkansas up 14-7.
After the Cajuns went 3-and-out, the Razorbacks added a 22-yard field goal after the Cajuns' defense stopped them on a 3rd and goal from the 5-yard line. That made the score Arkansas 17, Cajuns 7.
Broadway drove the Cajuns just past midfield, but the drive stalled, bringing on Daniel Cadona to punt. It was a great one, as he pinned the Razorbacks at their own 4-yard line with just over two minutes left in the 1st Half. But after converting on a 3rd and 9, Allen went to work, attacking the seems and the sidelines against the Cajuns defense. Kicker Zach Hocker finished the drive off by making a 34-yard field goal as the 1st Half expired, making the score 20-7 in favor of Arkansas.
In the 2nd Half, it appeared the Cajuns had caught a break, as a Razorbacks TE fumbled near midfield after three Cajun defender closed in on him. But the Cajuns gave it right back as Broadway fumbled while he was getting sacked, just one of many times in the 2nd Half when the Razorbacks defense was able to successfully get to him. After continuing to gash the Cajuns on the ground with Williams and Collins, Allen completed a 10-yard TD pass to FB Kiero Small, making the score 27-7 Razorbacks.
But the Cajuns responded, going 75 yards in 2:19, as TE Jacob Maxwell capped off the scoring drive with an 11-yard TD catch from Broadway. That brought the Cajuns within 27-14.
But Williams, who finished with 151 yards on 18 carries, ran 75 yards for his lone touchdown of the game, putting the Razorbacks up 34-14, which held up as the final score after a scoreless 4th Quarter.
In addition to the running of Williams, Collins finished with 131 yards on 21 carries. Allen ended the game with 230 yards passing and 3 TDs on 15-22 passing. Leading the Razorbacks in receiving, in addition to Herndon's efforts, Freshman TE Hunter Henry finished with 75 yards receiving on 5 catches. The Razorbacks gained 522 yards overall.
For the Cajuns, Broadway finished with 171 yards passing, 1 TD and 1 INT on 15-28 passing. He finished with –1 yards rushing. On the ground, Harris finished with 56 yards and 1 TD on 10 carries to lead the Cajuns. On the receiving end, Maxwell led the way with 77 yards and 1 TD on 6 receptions. The Cajuns gained 274 total yards.
Up next for the Cajuns (0-1) is Kansas State (0-1) in Manhattan, at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sep. 7. You can listen to the game on Sportradio ESPN 1420 AM.

Reading http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/KHR/debug.txt
It has this example:
Code :// Setup of the default active debug group: Filter everything in glDebugMessageControl(GL_DONT_CARE, GL_DONT_CARE, GL_DONT_CARE, 0, NULL, GL_TRUE); // Generate a debug marker debug output message glDebugMessageInsert( GL_DEBUG_SOURCE_APPLICATION, GL_DEBUG_TYPE_MARKER, 100, GL_DEBUG_SEVERITY_NOTIFICATION, -1, "Message 1"); // Push debug group 1 glPushDebugGroup( GL_DEBUG_SOURCE_APPLICATION, 1, -1, "Message 2");
This results in a GL_INVALID_OPERATION when glPushDebugGroup() is called.
I do not see any new versions of openGL I can try, since 14.1 & 14.2 BETA drivers do not support Vista 64bit it seems.
Funny enough, looking at http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/d...DebugGroup.xml
for errors, it lists:
So, GL_INVALID_OPERATION isn't even listed as a possible error, so, this looks like a driver bug.Errors
GL_INVALID_ENUM is generated if the value of source is neither GL_DEBUG_SOURCE_APPLICATION nor GL_DEBUG_SOURCE_THIRD_PARTY.
GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if length is negative and the number of characters in message, excluding the null-terminator, is not less than the value of GL_MAX_DEBUG_MESSAGE_LENGTH.
Yeah, I am sure it is the glPushDebugGroup() call that causes that error, I added glGetError() calls between and before all calls.
This is on a 6870 card, using 13.12 WHQL drivers.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) The Miami Dolphins' defensive line stops the run, pressures the quarterback and even grabs an occasional interception.
Stout stuff up front gives the Dolphins cause for optimism as they enter the most inviting part of their schedule. Coming off a breakthrough win, Miami (2-3) is an opening-line favorite for the first time this season Sunday against the St. Louis Rams (3-2), and no other game against a team with a winning record looms until after Thanksgiving.
If the Dolphins are to climb above .500 - an elusive goal in recent years - they'll likely do it with defense. Miami is the NFL's stingiest team in rushing yards allowed per game (61) and per carry (2.7), and by forcing opponents to throw, the Dolphins are accomplishing coach Joe Philbin's goal of making the other team one-dimensional.
``To a large degree we're getting that done,'' Philbin said Monday. ``We're getting the run shut down well and getting favorable down and distance where we can tee it up and go after the quarterback a little bit. That's only going to help us as we move forward.''
The formula worked at Cincinnati on Sunday, when the Dolphins won 17-13 to give Philbin his first road victory as an NFL coach. After blowing late leads in consecutive overtime losses, the Dolphins held on by making a pair of defensive stops in the final four minutes.
Miami allowed only 80 yards rushing, and 46 of the Bengals' 65 snaps were pass plays. They netted just 218 yards passing with three sacks, two interceptions and a long gain of 24 yards.
``The game plan every week never changes,'' linebacker Kevin Burnett said. ``Stop the run, eliminate the big plays and get two turnovers. If you can do that, you can beat anyone in this league.''
Tackle Randy Starks led the defensive charge with half a sack, two passes broken up and a remarkable interception, where he raised his arms as Andy Dalton threw and managed to snatch the ball from point-blank range.
The defensive line had practiced that very sort of interception in a drill Friday - with ugly results.
``Balls were bouncing everywhere,'' defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle recalled with a chuckle.
But the practice paid off in the game, and the 305-pound Starks came away with his fourth career interception.
``He looks like Jerry Rice out there,'' Coyle said.
More important to the Dolphins is the value of Starks and the other linemen as run-stoppers. Miami hasn't allowed a 100-yard performance by a rusher for 19 consecutive games, the longest such active streak in the league.
The big guys up front are about more than mere muscle. Reserve 305-pound tackle Tony McDaniel hustled downfield to recover a Bengals fumble.
``Sheer effort,'' Coyle said.
And on a 29-yard run by Cincinnati's Bernard Scott, one of the Dolphins giving chase was 345-pound tackle Paul Soliai, which tickled Coyle.
``I don't know if he would have caught him, but he sure was trying, and he was really moving,'' Coyle said. ``Those guys up front are really playing with effort, toughness and strength, and they're a big reason we're playing pretty good.''
Miami has totaled 15 sacks, which is tied for sixth in the NFL. And Coyle's unit has seven interceptions, which is tied for fifth in the league.
The Dolphins have had the edge in turnovers twice this season - in the two games they won. They totaled three takeaways against Cincinnati, including a clinching interception by Reshad Jones.
The pass defense, which has been prone to breakdowns at times, was solid despite the absence of cornerback Richard Marshall with a back injury. His replacement, Nolan Carroll, was sidelined briefly by a concussion but played well.
``Overall the secondary was better,'' Philbin said. ``Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but as a unit their overall effectiveness and technique and awareness was as good as it has been.''
Cincinnati converted two of 14 third-down situations. The Dolphins are allowing a 26-percent conversion rate, second-best in the league, which their offense appreciates.
``When you have a defense that keeps putting you on the field,'' receiver Brian Hartline said, ``that's part of the recipe for winning.''

Finding a $10,000 tip at the end of your shift never hurts. Just ask the 18 workers who have received thousands of dollars in tips as part of a new donation campaign called, "Tips for Jesus."
Finding a $10,000 tip at the end of your shift never hurts. Just ask the 18 workers who have received thousands of dollars in tips as part of a new donation campaign called "Tips for Jesus," where a donor left tips for workers, marking receipts with a "Tips for Jesus" signature, according to The Huffington Post. Initially shrowded in mystery, the "Tips for Jesus" donor has been revealed as Jack Selby, a former vice president of PayPal, according to Gawker. Though Selby hasn't admitted it publicly, his friends "seem to be in on the secret benevolence," Gawker said. After posting an article about "Tips for Jesus" on his timeline, Selby's Facebook friend Anne Woolway responded with "Do we win if we know whom is behind tipsforjesus?" and his friend Rob Hughes said, "the mystery tipper strikes again," according to The Daily Mail. The "Tips for Jesus" campaign is primarily seen through Instagram, where the "Tips for Jesus" account shows waiters and waitresses alike with their tips left by the mysterious donor (or possibly donors), The Huffington Post reported. Commentators told The Huffington Post that many believe this campaign was started to follow in the belief that Jesus gave to the poor. "Restaurant servers have been demanding jobs, often working long hours with low pay and little reward. They often depend on their tips in order to survive," wrote Yasmine Hafiz for The Huffington Post. "But 'Tips For Jesus' is on a mission to show the world what Christian generosity is supposed to look like." These tips aren't limited to one state, either. Selby, if he is indeed the donor, has found his way to California, Utah and Illinois, among other states, according to India Today, which also published photos from the main Instagram account, showing citizens receiving $5,000 and $10,000 tips. This comes off the heels of a controversy involving tipping and a pastor. According to Heavy, a culture and news website, Pastor Alois' private website went viral and falsely accused her of not tipping a waitress because of religious reasons. But not everyone is happy with Selby's movement, as "banks are facing a problem in clearing such amounts as they have to ascertain there is no fraud involved," according to India Today. Buzzfeed said the anonymous founder of "Tips for Jesus" - now believed to be Selby - started donating a month ago. And since that time, American Express still hasn't determined if the first tip left at the Notre Dame Legends Bar was real or not. So far, the Instagram account shows Selby has left more than $54,000 in tips, according to CNews.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D128365%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

The left and right side panels look alike and have large mesh grill parts. However, the mesh part is larger on the left side panel, which will also take two 12cm fans. CM Storm uses special long screws for mounting fans and the company ships eight with the Trooper.
The fans that cool the 3.5'' drives draw air through inlets on the left side panel while hot air exists freely through the grill on the right side panel.
Two layers of mesh grill on the side panels acts as a filter. The left side panel weighs about 1.6kg while the right is about 60g heavier due to less mesh and more metal. Both panels are very tough and, more importantly, can be removed and mounted easily.

Use of 2006-08 ASB Funds for Alcohol, Golf Cart, Facility Repair Called 'Questionable'
By Patric Hedlund
"Kids raised the money and then the money was used for other purposes," said El Tejon Unified School District Board Chair Anita Anderson in an interview this week about findings reported by Jason Kaff of the Kern County Superintendent of School's Office about the 2006-07 and 2007-08 Associated Student Body finances at Frazier Mountain High School. Kaff read his concise report to the ETUSD Board of Trustees at their April 14 meeting.
Spending from ASB accounts under Athletic Director and ASB Advisor Rob Roy (a former FMHS teacher) and Frazier Mountain High School Principal Dan Penner was called "questionable use" in the restrained but devastating review. Terri Geivet was ETUSD's director of fiscal services during that period. The district's auditor did not look at the ASB accounting during their annual audits and made no mention of irregularities, Geivet said.
In an interview, Asst. Supt. of Kern County Schools, Division of Administration and Finance, Mark Fulmer, said ASB accounts are especially important to review in annual audits.
It took a November 2007 plea to trustees from FMHS juniors Nick Onyshko and Tammie Christianson to "give us back our money" to begin an inquiry. To assist the students to learn how such purchases as a golf cart for use by the athletic director and principal were made with ASB funds, The Mountain Enterprise provided the services of forensic accountant Rachel Unell. But both ASB officers graduated in 2009 without useful information being produced by the administration.
"I felt that everyone was culpable because no one was paying attention to ASB [accounting] all up and down the chain," said Anderson.
After the students graduated without being able to resolve their questions, Unell and The Mountain Enterprise gave a letter about irregularities in FMHS bookkeeping and the lack of records to Trustees Anderson and John Fleming. Both had expressed interest in the ASB funds situation.
When they reported the findings to their board in the summer of 2009, then-Interim Superintendent Mark Fulmer called for a review of ASB money handling.
The Kern County Superintendent's office selected the 2008-09 year to review, after teacher Tim Garcia had replaced Rob Roy as ASB Advisor, and after it was widely known that there had been problems in the two preceding years.
"We wanted to see what improvements had been made," Fulmer said, when asked why the most recent year was chosen for the review rather than the years in which there was possible mishandling or loss of student funds. Still, random selection of 25 transactions from 2008-09 by Jason Kaff showed 25 irregularities.
New ASB procedures have now been put into place, such as taking regular inventories in the student store, immediately counting and filing cash reports signed by two people following fundraising events, reconciling bank statements, adhering to check-signing procedures required by law—such as securing an ASB officer's authorization for disbursements and keeping mandated files of signed minutes to document that ASB members agreed to purchases.
The current ASB membership, officers and advisor are carefully adhering to these basic procedures, Danica Aguilar told the trustees April 14.
But still, the questions about the two earlier years remained.
A random sampling of 30 transactions for each of the years, 06-07, 07-08 was taken. There were, even in this small, random sampling, many instances of eye-opening "questionable and inappropriate" uses of student money.
In addition to construction of the locker fence, the golf cart purchase, PSAT materials purchase, scoreboard repair and staff lunches, there was purchase of alcohol with student funds. There was cash that was collected, but not deposited, therefore called "lost." No amount for that sum is noted in the report.
There is no assurance that the student fund has received all the money owed to it from those years, yet both years are shown with the students running a deficit. The report says the ASB had revenues for the 2006-07 fiscal year of $218,928 and $220,531 in 2007-08, with expenses of $252,188 and $234,074 respectively, indicating that the students have been charged with deficits in both years, despite all the non-ASB expenditures tracked in their accounts. That is a $33,260 reported deficit in 2006-07 and a $13,543 deficit in year 2007-08.
Questions not asked or answered in Kaff's report, but obvious to many observers include: Was a cumulative $45,803 deficit charged to the ASB to pay? If so, how did they do that? Can this be considered a real deficit, when the record keeping has been so inadequate?
Is it possible that the school owes the students $45,503 or more? How can that be known without an audit?
At the April 14, 2010 trustees meeting, Anita Anderson expressed her dismay, saying "the lack of oversight, accountability and responsibility falls upon everyone entrusted in serving the education of our students…."
John Fleming said he thought the report was valuable, and that procedures have been put in place to correct the errors that were made.
Gary Meyer from The Mountain Enterprise asked whether the district owes the students money. Trustee Paula Regan said, "That student later came back and said the question about the $10,000 had been satisfied."
The student she was referring to is Nick Onyshko, now in college. He told the trustees a couple of months before his FMHS graduation that the principal and the bookkeeper told him there had been data entry errors that may have made it look as if the ASB had more money than it actually had, so maybe $5,000 of the $10,000 the students felt they were owed had been "found."
That same night, Onyshko explicitly told this reporter and Trustee John Fleming that he had not been given adequate records by the principal or the bookkeeper to make the determination himself. He said he was given oral "explanations," but nothing in writing.
"Maybe if 100 parents showed up at a board meeting there would be more desire on the part of the administration to do something about this, or call for a full audit," Anderson said about the question of whether money may still be owed to the students' ASB fund.
Still, going forward, the board chair is convinced that the changes made this year are solid: "I want the parents and the community to know that the board is on top of the changes and people can feel comfortable about donating again because there are checks and balances in place," Anderson said.
