oh hai again i have more question to ask
1. is it possible to build local port because i want to update my computer that old enough and i only have dial up. can you teach me how ?
2. why i do kldload snd hda and it works, but when i play mp3 with noatun the song is becoming jumping around, the sound is bad.... ?
1.) it's possible
kldload sound kldload snd_hda
hi all......
i'm not always brings bad news and so on.....
1. i've good news, i've succeed installing freebsd in my college pc. so i have my on workstation. it's completed with koffice and mozilla.
2. bad news is i've give up for the laptop for now and i using linux mint now.
3. can somebody teachme making local port? because my internet connection is only using phone modem at home.
4. oh yes how can i hardening my freebsd at college?
thanks for all.....
For hardening FreeBSD check out security session, there's, topic about that
You might want to be more specific about what you mean by 'local port'.
To me at least, this means a port in the ports tree that is made by you but not committed to the wider ports infrastructure. --> In which case you should read the FreeBSD porters handbook as a starting point.
From what you are saying, I would gather that you just want to keep your software up to date without huge downloads over dial up.
You can't keep the system up to date without downloading newer versions of things, be it the source code to compile it (and depending apps/libs) or pre-compiled packages of everything. For building ports, you should be able to use 'make fetch-recursive' to fetch all the dist files needed for a port build -> check ports manual page.
You should also check the documentation for utilities such as portupgrade, porteasy, portmaster, e.t.c. from ports. And see if any of them meet your criteria. If you are more specific someone here might actually be able to help.

well i mean local port is making a cd like a port that i can install to another computer.
here is my plan : i download port plus the distfiles and the dependencies too at my college then i want to bring that port in a cd or dvd to my house and then copy or install the software that i need through the cd/dvd
can i do it? how?
the easiest way would probably be either:
to update the ports tree (via portsnap/csup) then fetch all the distfiles needed by your ports. Then burn the contents of /usr/ports to CD -- you may need to compress it in order for it to fit on disk, depending on what you need. So all you would have to do is mount the disk on the system you want to upgrade, extract the files and start compiling.
or to recursively make (or fetch) packages of the desired ports on the system. Then burn those packages to DVD. Mount that DVD on the system you want to upgrade and use pkg_add to install them.
unless mounting network shares is an option.

portsnap will work way faster
To use the wpi driver include this in your /boot/loader.conf
Then in /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_wpi0="WPA DHCP"
This is obviously if you are using WPA (which you must)
Read man wpa_supplicant.conf in order to set WPA up and create an /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file
Enjoy your wireless network!!
hi all,
i'm back with dmesg file. i just want to repeat my question. i use freebsd 7 release in acer aspire 5583nwxmi.
1. why when i told my laptop to shutdown -p now it's not poer off it's still on?
2. i do postinstallation config and my marvell yukom 88e8038 and intel pro set wireless abg is not detected by sysinstall ? should i use wpi from clearchain?
should i use myk from marvell.com ?
3. what is the easiest way to upgrade port ? why?
thanks alot for your patience asking my question

hi guys, !
1. after a few tries, finally ask Pyun Hyong, the deveoper of msk. i send my dmesg and he said that i need to disable my acpi. msk driver is work now thanks.
2. i've tried portsnap too but i have not trying to make "local port" yet, because when i tried to build openoffice.org-3 i get error message :
failed in /usr/ports/devel/lib-glio error code : 1
what is that mean ? how to solve this? this things happens when itried to install fvwm-crystal too.
3. is it ok not to activate acpi feature ? is this matter has a relation with acer bios that unsupported in freebsd yet?
4. oh yes how can i make my battery status on kde showed up ? so i can see it anytime?

do you have root permissions?
Use su or sudo to get root permissions
3.) you need to disable acpi, not enable.... it should be OK
hey, guys, i just want to ask about freebsd 6.4 and freebsd 7:
1. after freebsd release freebsd 7 they release freebsd 6.4 ? what is this mean?
2. what is the different between freebsd 6.4 and 7.0 (practicall side) ?
1... already using 6.3? use 6.4 unless you want to go to version 7
... new to FreeBSD? use a v7 RELEASE or _7 (STABLE) probably
2.... 6.4 will be unsupported sooner than 7.0 AFAIK. Other differences...
FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT
difference between stable and current: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/...nt-stable.html
difference between 6.x and 7.x: two different branches; google for freebsd release engineering.
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
well, i still don't get it, well, maybe slowly i'll understand ...
oh, hei, by the way i want to know what must i upgrade and what i mustn't ?
Heh, there are still people with FreeBSD 4.x boxes running around :-)
In my humble opinion, if you don't know which to choose and the machine is for personal use, you should probably run the latest Release (e.g. 7.0-Release) and use freebsd-update to install updates as they come along; including going to new releases (e.g. 7.1-Release) later on, when they become avail. (I personally wait a few weeks~months)
the best way I know to describe it -> Release is what makes it to the ISOs, Stable is a copy of Release, but it gets some new changes that *usually* don't break stuff, but didn't make it into release; both receive security updates and errata. Current is the bleeding edge of development, the latest code as of when you pulled it from the mirror, be it the best or the worst commit ever published. There is also a legacy production (6.4) and a production release (7.0), the most interesting changes will find their way into a production release, and a legacy release will change less often.
Personally, my server runs OpenBSD releases, my laptop runs FreeBSD stable.

well i think i get it now, by the way; open bsd is not free isn't it ?
and people say open bsd is harder to use than freebsd is it true?
and i heard about advance cryptographic ? is it better than sshd from freebsd ?
>open bsd is not free isn't it ?
It's more free than any of those GPL systems.
>and people say open bsd is harder to use than freebsd is it true?
Well to some degree, but if you can cope with FreeBSD, Slackware, NetBSD or Arch you shouldn't have any problems with OpenBSD at all.

Nashville - After dropping their season opener to UT Martin in the Georgia State First Pitch Classic, the Lady Bisons roared back into action, defeating preseason No. 18 Georgia Tech, 11-9.
Shortstop Abby Keese lead the impressive Lady Bisons offense going three for three with 3 runs on 3 hits and 4 RBI's.
Her three-run home run in the top of the sixth inning gave the Lady Bisons the win.
Nine Lady Bisons totaled for thirteen hits.
"I told our girls that to win a game against a team like Georgia Tech is so huge for our program. They need to be proud of how they worked," says head Coach Kristin Peck. " For us to battle back like we did really says a lot about this team, and our effort and our heart. I could not be more proud of them."
The Lady Bisons who improve to 1-1 play host team Georgia State at 12:15 EST and in a tournament game to be determined.

ST. LOUIS — Buckle up, Blackhawks fans, this has the makings of some kind of thrill ride.
Trailing the defending Stanley Cup champions late in regulation, the Blues rallied for a 4-3 victory in triple-overtime in Game 1 of the first round of the NHL playoffs Thursday night at Scottrade Center.
The Hawks were within 1 minute, 45 seconds of seizing home-ice advantage in the best-of-seven series when Jaden Schwartz scored to tie it up and Alexander Steen eventually notched the game-winner 26 seconds into the third extra period as the Blues snapped a six-game losing skid that ended their regular season.
In a game that pretty much had everything from highlight-reel goals to...

The 2012 drought rivals the droughts of the 1930's, or the "Dust Bowl".
But, there is one major difference in the drought of 2012... there's relatively no dust.
I remember my grandfather talking about the Dust Bowl and saying he couldn't see the sun for days. He lived in southeast Ohio, yet some of that soil he saw in the sky was from Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.
We certainly see a very different story today. While there have been reports of massive dust storms in Arizona and similar desert climates, there has been relatively no evidence of dust storms in the Midwest in 2012. So, if our 2012 drought is similar in size and intensity to those of the 1930s, what happened to the dust this time?
For one, the Dust Bowl era experienced multiple years of droughts over a very large area. While much of Texas and Oklahoma have been in a drought for multiple years, most of the remaining Midwest has not.
I think a second factor is how management of the soil has changed since the 1930s.
In my opinion, farmers across this nation learned from the mistakes of the Dust Bowl. Farmers planted tree lines, established sod waterways and filter strips, and reduced tillage or eliminated tillage.
Farmers identified that some soils never should have been in annual crops and returned them to perennial grazing lands.
Farmers installed irrigation systems on other soils. Irrigation encouraged plant growth, which held soils together.
Overall, farmers generally treated the soils better, with long-term sustainability in mind.
The long-term efforts towards sustainability across the country are reaping the good fruits this season. Even though crop yields are low, we have gained much more by keeping the soil.
In a year as harsh as the Dust Bowl, perhaps one of the greatest achievements in modern agriculture across the country is the fact that our soils are holding together.
Hopefully, we don't need to test that theory next season.

I live in an old house out in the country, with a somewhat antiquated heating system that I supplement with a kerosene space heater. (I think what we call kerosene here in the U.S. is known in the other parts of the world as paraffin.) I like this arrangement, as power outages are fairly common around here, and my kerosene supply means I'll have heat whether or not I have electricity.
For the past six or seven winters, I've been getting my kerosene at a particular service station on the other side of town. I fuel up every two weeks or so, and have a nice, friendly relationship with the man who runs the place, a kindly, soft-spoken Pakistani gentleman.
Last week, I pulled up to the kerosene pump, which is off to the side of the station lot. There was a car parked there, but no one in it, or pumping fuel, or anywhere in sight. I got my two jerrycans out of the trunk and began filling the first. At this point, a young woman came charging out of the office, shouting. She was hauling a small boy along by the hand. I didn't pay much attention until, a few seconds later, it became apparent that I was the object of her tirade. She stopped in front of me, shouting, "I pre-paid! What the hell do you think you're doing? Get away from there!"
"Oh!" I said. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize someone was using this pump." I had already pumped about eight dollars worth of fuel. She kept shouting, saying that I was stealing her gas. I said, "Look, why don't I finish with this can, then you can go ahead and get what you need." My manner was calm and polite. I explained, when I could get a word in, that I'd been getting kerosene here for years and never been asked to pre-pay. I apologized again, and suggested we sort it out in the office, but that I didn't want to leave an open container of flammable liquid sitting out in the open. The young woman continued to shout at me, though, and said that not only was I stealing her stuff, I was copping an attitude, and I was an A-word, and a B-word, and a C-You-Next-Tuesday word. And the other A-word that's a little longer and more offensive than the first A-word.
I stopped pumping and just stared at her. "Excuse me?" I said. The girl wanted to know what I thought I was doing, didn't I see her car parked right there? I think it was at this point that I realized that nothing I could say would satisfy her, that anything I did say would only escalate the situation. So I went back to pumping the gas. She pulled out her phone and asked me how I would like it if she called the police. I stopped pumping again and looked at her. "Miss," I said, "You're calling me a thief and cursing at me. I have nothing to say to you. Call the police if you want. I'll be done here in a few minutes, then I'll go inside to pay. You do what you think best." The little boy had begun crying. I turned away from her and resumed pumping. She kept on shouting, and now was yelling at her child, too. I turned back to her, held up my hand, and said, "Miss, we're done. Do whatever you want."
She went storming back to the office, the wailing boy in tow. I finished pumping my kerosene, loaded the cans back into the trunk, and went to the office, as well. She was regaling the other customers and the teenage cashier (the Pakistani gentleman was not there, unfortunately) about my outrageous behavior. I continued to ignore her, paid for my kerosene and left. The whole affair had taken less than five minutes.
It was a distressing incident. I felt very embarrassed, and I wished the regular owner had been there. I lead a quiet, relatively conflict-free life, and I'm not accustomed to having curses hurled at me at top volume. I don't as a rule invite quarrel and disputation, and if something does arise, I'm far more likely to quit the field of battle than to engage. I realize my responsibility for what went down, but it was basically just a misunderstanding, a situation that could have been easily resolved without all the amperage and high drama. I'm not sure how else I could have handled it. It's not likely I'll ever see this young harridan again, anyway, so that's fine. But the whole business left a really bad taste in my mouth. 0313-13
I reread your story a few times and it appears that you initially committed yourself to only fill one gas can upon hearing that someone else had prepaid for the gas but when the conversation did not go well, you continued to keep pumping until both cans were full and you put them back in your truck. I'm rather flabbergasted you continued to pump kerosene into 2 gas cans even after knowing the other woman had already prepaid for the kerosene you were now pumping without any indication to her of stopping.
And just because you have never prepaid for kerosene does not mean that every other client of the service station also purchases their kerosene in the exact same way. I, for example, always prepay when buying gas to go into gas cans for the simple reason that the pumps are strong and if I prepay, the operator sets the pump to only give me XX amount of gas so that I do not overfill the can by accident. The other woman clearly did prepay for her own kerosene and if the station operates like the ones where I live do, you were pumping your gas on her dime.
What to say when she came barreling out of the station office? Immediately stop pumping kerosene and say, "Oh, I am so sorry! I've been buying kerosene here for years and just assumed the pump was available as usual." Promptly put the cap on your not full can while saying, "Let me go fix this right away with the station operator so that you can get the kerosene you paid for." Go directly to station office and you take the initiative to resolve the problem. "I seem to have made a mistake and started pumping my kerosene like I usually do and did not realize this woman had prepaid and was ahead of me. Can you please fix this? I pumped $8 worth of kerosene." Then wait your turn after her to get your kerosene since she was there first and she had prepaid before you. This situation got totally out of control because 1) you had somewhat of an entitled attitude to getting your usual allotment of kerosene as you normally did; 2) your comments to her were like throwing kerosene on a fire…pun intended. You kept explaining your actions and saying nothing that actually assuaged the other woman's belief that you usurped her position for gas and was taking something that belonged to her; 3) she controlled the entire situation when you had the means to stop the drama or at least nullify it with dignity. Was sticking to your guns and getting every drop of your bi weekly kerosene pumped into your two jerry cans before you addressed her grievances worth the drama?

Lucky You,jealous me !!!! Oh Gosh!!!!ReplyDelete
I agree with You,I couldn't survive without breakfast...I gets up in the morning with the idea to eat something delicious with my cafe au lait.....in Paris were fresh baguette or tartine ,pan brioche ,chasson au pomme ...only after that I can start my day
thanks for the lovely report!!!
Oh what a magnificent opportunity, Carol! I think that I would be overwhelmed by an initial view of this beauty and would, like you, need a bit of time to take in just where I was.ReplyDelete
Please do post some more photos, of the gardens and ... of what you might have drawn or painted. So many greens, so much foliage variety, and then those spots of brilliant or soft other colors. Oh where to be begin. xo
It's a real little dream colony..ReplyDelete
It does look like such a rich learning experience..
I spy my Jack In The Beanstalk wild impatients my friend gave me..if anyone knows the true name would love to know..they can grow to 6 ft plus here.
I checked out the site..so nice seeing all the artists painting plein air:)
Lovely custom gift ..
Love the silkies!!! Are there any with Silkies in front of the Maison entire? You are just so amazingly talented!!! I want your life!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Some day I'll go there...dreamy!ReplyDelete
Id like to know who eat the eggs and the poultry of Monet garden...and if they are the same I saw 3 summer ago....big question isnt it??!!! ahahaReplyDelete
Enjoy it!
Once, long ago, we rented an apartment in Paris that had working shutters. I loved the "ceremonial opening of the shutters" every morning! The gardens look so enchanting in the mist and the early morn.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful place, Carol.ReplyDelete
I could be very happy there - it looks so peaceful.
Your photos are great!
I love it! I haven't been in nearly 20 years. Wonderful, Carolg.ReplyDelete
More wonderfulness... Love the Chicken and Rooster painting. That cracks me up..walking the cat on a leash. I need to go thru this and read it a few more times to soak up all the wonderfulness here. If that's not a word I a making it one. :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures as usual. Just a side piece of triva about silkies seeing as you had only heard of them for the first last week.....even though they have pure white feathers, they all have black skin unlike the pale chickens you buy in the supermarket. But having said that, they are very delicious if you can get over the look of a black skin chicken. They are considered a delicacy in Asia as they are more expensive but also have a finer and more delicate meat than others. :-)ReplyDelete
I love it that breakfast and homemade jams are still a priority even in Monet's Garden- as they should be! Your painting is so beautiful. The gardens lovely, it must be amazing spending so much time there. Literally treading in Monet's footsteps. Fascinating to know that the current caretakers of the garden are so passionate about their work too.ReplyDelete

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The governor on Monday sidestepped a decision about whether a condemned inmate was too fat to be humanely executed by sparing the prisoner on the grounds that he had poor legal representation.
Gov. John Kasich's decision to grant clemency to Ronald Post mirrored the recommendation of mercy by the state parole board, which said it didn't doubt Post's guilt but said there were too many problems with how he was represented 30 years ago.
Post, who weighs 450 pounds, never raised the issue of his size with the board. And Kasich, who commuted Post's sentence to life with no chance of parole, didn't mention Post's obesity claim in his statement. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the governor didn't consider Post's obesity claim.
The governor said all criminal defendants, regardless of the heinousness of the crimes, deserve an adequate defense.
"This decision should not be viewed by anyone as diminishing this awful crime or the pain it has caused," Kasich said.
Post's attorneys applauded the decision.
The parole board and Kasich "rightly recognized that, in cases in which the state seeks to execute one of its citizens, our justice system simply must work better than it did in Mr. Post's case," said public defenders Joe Wilhelm and Rachel Troutman.
In its Friday decision, the parole board rejected arguments made by Post's attorneys that he deserves mercy because of lingering doubts about his "legal and moral guilt" in a woman's death, but it said it couldn't ignore perceived missteps by his lawyers.
Post was scheduled to die Jan. 16 for killing Elyria motel clerk Helen Vantz in a 1983 robbery.
"Post took Vantz's life, devastating the lives of her loved ones in the process," the board said in its 5-3 decision. But it said a majority of its members agreed his sentence should be commuted to life in prison without chance of parole because of omissions, missed opportunities and questionable decisions made by his previous attorneys and because that legal representation didn't meet expectations for a death penalty case.
Dissenting parole board members said it was clear Post killed Vantz and that questionable moves by his attorneys don't outweigh the circumstances of the case.
Separately, Post had argued in federal court that executing him would amount to cruel and unusual punishment. His attorneys said he would suffer "a torturous and lingering death" as executioners tried to find a vein or use a backup method where lethal drugs are injected directly into muscle.
Vantz's sons, William and Michael, have said they believe in Post's guilt. William Vantz characterized Post's obesity claim as "another way for a coward to try and get out of what debt he owes to society."
The long-held presumption that Post confessed to the murder to several people has been falsely exaggerated, Post's attorneys have argued. Post admitted involvement in the crime as the getaway driver to a police informant but didn't admit to the killing.
"Sure ain't no murderer," Post told that informant, according to Post's clemency filing.
Post's attorneys argued that prosecutors misrepresented to the judge that Post had confessed to sole involvement in Vantz's death.
"The death penalty should be reserved for cases where proof of guilt is reliable and the legal system produced a just result," the defense had said. "Neither criteria is met in this case."
Lorain County prosecutor Dennis Will had pointed to the written no contest plea, in which Post acknowledged responsibility, as "a compelling reason" to reject clemency. A message was left seeking comment Monday.
Ohio's next execution is March 6, when Frederick Treesh of Lake County is scheduled to die for the 1994 shooting death of an adult bookstore security guard during a robbery.

I was psyched to hunker down for the second season of BBC America's "The Hour" — but I was also a bit skeptical.
After all, Season One was riveting in taking us inside the world of "The Hour," a startup BBC TV news show in 1956 London. Had the series ended then and there, I would have been satisfied.
In the six-episode first season, writer/creator Abi Morgan didn't miss a beat, expertly mixing the lives and loves of her flawed protagonists with an enthralling spy drama — set against the backdrop of the very real Suez crisis which pushed England to the brink of war.
That being said, I wondered if, in Season Two, the "The Hour" could retain the dramatic excellence it achieved in its maiden voyage.
The answer is yes — with a caveat.
Season 2, which kicked off last Wednesday, unfolds nearly a year after the Season 1 finale. The staff of "The Hour" is still dealing with the repercussions of the spy scandal exposed by dogged reporter Freddie Lyons (Ben Whishaw) — which sent their former boss, Clarence Fendley (Anton Lesser), to prison.
Fendley's replacement, Randall Brown (Peter Capaldi), is a curt, no-nonsense Scotsman whose attitude, especially toward womanizing, hard-drinking anchor Hector Madden (Dominic West), is a drastic departure from Fendley's paternalism. He also has a past with Lix (Anna Chancellor), "The Hour's" cynical foreign-news editor.
This Wednesday's second episode, airing at 9 p.m., features a lot more of Freddie, while the increasingly erratic Hector, who's being courted by upstart ITV, finds himself embroiled in a scandal — while his producer, Bel (Romola Garai), butts heads with Randall and continues to struggle with her conflicted feelings towards Freddie.
The caveat to which I referred earlier are this season's thematic devices — a West London crime spree and the rise of Oswald Mosley's fascist movement — which will propel "The Hour" forward.
These plot devices, while interesting, lack the oomph of last season's spy scandal (at least to me). Maybe it's because "The Hour" is no longer a new experience and we're already familiar with its lead characters.
But, that being said, I've only seen the first two episodes of the season — and I have a sneaking suspicion that, over its next four installments, "The Hour" will ratchet-up the drama and intrigue and retain the excellence it's achieved thus far.
Don't miss it.

learn something new everyday.
Two months back, Angel City here in LA (the Alan Newman/Jim Koch seed project that they bought from the founder) did an Avocado beer for an Avocado fest. Same sort of idea as the guacamole saison only he went and added both avocado flesh and garlic (I will let no sulfur bearing components near my brew!)He mashed the avos and added some in the whirlpool.http://laist.com/2013/08/20/angel_city_avocado_beer.phpI love avocados, but yeah.. I'll stick with the Saison Guacamole approach.
First, you need to define for yourself what you hope to get from the avocado. How will it contribute to the beer? Imagine what you want the finished beer to taste like...and why!
My experience w/avocados is that they quickly turn black. Maybe in secondary where the oxygen has been scavenged, but I think your color will be affected.

Well, it's been a busy day for cybernews.
The Washington Post has broken a huge story that the U.S. government, specifically the NSA and the FBI, are accessing e-mails, photos, videos, and other personal data via its "Special Source Operations" – NSA talk for buddy-bud tech companies. The cooperators in this outed "PRISM" program are, according to the Post story, "nine leading U.S. Internet companies": Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple.
(Hey, good for AOL getting lumped into the category of "leading U.S. Internet companies." No doubt they were super-psyched to see that.)
Well, for my part, I can state unequivocally that Blog Law Blog has never cooperated with the NSA or FBI in sharing any data. (But I do use Google Analytics, as do bazillions of others – so be warned.)
In the same news cycle comes the revelation that Chinese government hacking into private American computer systems is far wider and deeper than previously known. They even hacked the 2008 Obama and McCain presidential campaigns.
Unfortunately, I can make no guarantees that Blog Law Blog has not been hacked by the Chinese government. The only real protection I have against being hacked by China is staying below their radar. Which I'm guessing I probably have. (Although I've certainly discussed how China is a leading jailer of bloggers, among other things.)
Hey, by the way, did you notice who is missing from that Special Source Operations list? Yup, no Twitter. Good for Twitter. They've certainly shown their user-privacy backbone before. And no Amazon or eBay either.

So I'm currently running an experiment on a student job site called JobDoggy.com. Initially the site had only been a place where we had a few articles and then a search box that led off to another job board site. We implemented a job board API, kept the articles, redesigned the site and relaunched.
At first I saw some positive traffic growth. Nothing spectacular but it was moving in the right direction. Then, a couple of days ago, traffic fell off a cliff. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on here. My guess is it's something Panda-related since much of the content is likely available elsewhere on the web. Here's a screen cap of the Queries report for GWT:
I'll try to update this post as I uncover more potential causes. If you've got some opinions, please share 'em.
I'm going to put this link right here.
This is part of some research I'm conducting. Just a little personal research about indexation through social media channels, along side another experiment about nofollow links.
I've been thinking a lot about pagination and how to navigate the rel="next/prev" and canonical tags. I wrote a fairly detailed article about how I think rel=next, rel=prev and canonical tags should be implemented over on the Ironworks blog.
I wanted to re-iterate some of the basic points that article attempts to address here in my own blog.
Do not use the canonical tag to point back to Page 1
I get that the idea is that you might think page=2 is considered duplicate content as the page 1 landing page you want to rank. It's a valid concern and you might be right to some degree. However, using the canonical tag here just doesn't do what you think it ought to. Remember that the canonical tag is acting like a redirect a "soft 301″ if you will. Imagine what would happen to a crawler if you used a regular 301 back to the first page every time a crawler hit page 2. See where I'm going with this?
Rel=next/prev are doing the heavy lifting
The Next/Prev tags are actually now performing the function we may have thought the canonical tag was doing for us when it comes to pagination. They're consolidating all the indexing information into one aggregate. That's kinda like what we though the canonical tag would do, right? It removes any sense of competition or duplication by creating a sort of "view all" version of the result set for the search engine.
So that's the short answer. Read the Ironworks article for more details…
var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-27989160-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); _setCustomVar(1, 'cheeseburger', 'tomato', 1); _setCustomVar(2, 'hamburger', 'pickle', 1);
(function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();
So I've been using Google+ for a couple days now and Hangouts are quickly becoming my favorite feature. However, there are a couple of ways Google could improve on it and I'll be more than happy to share them with you… Read More
Thanks to a kind co-worker, I'm now on Google+. You can add me/follow me at https://plus.google.com/105128552991606069950

Taselaar Riding High In Miami
7 March 2009
Pieter Taselaar (New York, N.Y) on USA-169 Bliksem sits atop the Melges 32 fleet with a firm lead of a healthy seven points ahead of John Kilroy (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-188 Samba Pa Ti in second. Joe Woods (Torquay, UK) on GBR-700 Red is one of five international entries and seated in third overall.
The racing in the Melges 32 doesn't get much better than this. Fantastic sailing conditions prevailed, not to mention the high caliber competition. It was a beautiful day, perfect weather — sunshine, 10-15 mph of breeze, nice warm temperatures and relatively calm seas in comparison to previous days.
Race one of the day, race 6 in a series of 10 commenced with a clean start. Taselaar took an early lead rounding the mark in first, followed by Kilroy in second and Jason Carroll (New York, N.Y.) on USA-128 Argo in third. Marty Kullman and Mike Carroll (Tampa, Fla.) on USA-131 New Wave rounded fourth with John Taylor (Jupiter Island, Fla.) on USA-1315 Ninkasi getting in on a piece of the action in fifth. Kullman and Kilroy puts the moved on Taselaar downwind moving up to round the gates in first and second respectively. Taselaar took third, Carroll hanging on in fourth.
Back upwind Kullman strengthened his lead leaving Kilroy, Taselaar, Taylor, Carroll and Jim Swartz (Edgartown, Mass.) on USA-007 Q battle it out for second thru fifth. Kullman/Carroll took it to the finish with Kilroy coming in second, Carroll moved up to take third and in fourth was Taylor. Taselaar was fifth.
The second race was filled with some extracurricular excitement. About 100 yards out from the start, Bob Hesse (Buffalo, N.Y.) on USA-153 Dark Cloud unexpectedly took some of this team members for a swim when the starboard lifeline broke. The crew were immediately collected and returned to the boat unharmed.
In the meantime, Taselaar, Woods and Carroll each had great starts that ultimately helped put them to the front of the fleet. Taselaar had an instant lead, but not without viable challenges from Kilroy and Pugh. Pugh rounded the first mark in second with Kilroy in third. Taylor, Carroll and Kip Meadows (Rocky Mount, N.C.) on USA-77 roXanne put down a great chase for the lead as well. To no surprise, based on Taselaar's ability to generate great boat speed this week in Miami, his lead stood firm for the win, Carroll pulled forward to take second and Taylor gladly accepted third.
Race three provided Kilroy with the satisfaction he and his tactician Morgan Reeser had been seeking over the last two days. Reeser was quoted on Thursday, "we will get better." Reeser was right. Progressively, race by race Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti improved.
The racing today could probably be best described as brutal. The long, 2nm races required a good bit of endurance from the teams, the skipper's concentration included. With a consistent 10-15 mph of breeze and manageable seas, Taselaar jumped out early leading the first half of the race. Kilroy effectively took over at the second weathermark and held on downwind, crossing the finish line just a second or two ahead of Alex Jackson (Riverside, Conn.) on USA-174 Leenabarca, who had a phenomenal race as well. Jackson was right up there with Kilroy and Taselaar the entire time. Taselaar was third. Taylor came on strong on the final downwind leg to take fourth and in fifth went to Kullman/Carroll.
Looking ahead to Sunday's final two races, Taselaar has 14 points, a 7 point lead over Kilroy with 21, in third is Woods with 32. The real deal are positions fourth thru sixth. A mere 3 point spread separates Taylor, Swartz, Carroll and Kullman/Carroll.
TOP TEN RESULTS (After three races)
1. Pieter Taselaar, Bliksem; 1-1-1-2-[7]-1-3 = 14
2. John Kilroy, Samba Pa Ti; 2-6-3-4-3-[9]-1 = 21
3. Joe Woods, Red; 7-8-2-3-2-[9]-4-6 = 32
4. John Taylor, Ninkasi; 3-[13]-14-8-8-4-3-4 = 43
5. Jim Swartz, Q; 4-2-3avg1-5-[14]-14-7-9 = 44
6. Jason Carroll, Argo; 8-3-7-11-11-3-2-[12] = 45
7. Marty Kullman/Mike Carroll, New Wave; [15]-14-5-1-5-1-15-5 = 46
8. Alex Jackson, Leenabarca; 10-7-4-7-10-[12]-8-2 = 48
9. Carlo Alberini, Calvi Network; [12]-4-6-9-1-6-12-11 = 49

Do As I Say
Bush lets down his Guard.
This week, President Bush and Sen. John Kerry addressed the annual conference of the National Guard Association. Neither man talked about Bush's service in the Guard, and the officers in attendance made clear that they wanted to hear about Iraq, not Vietnam. But one issue leads to the other. Bush's abuse of the Guard in Iraq is what makes his abuse of the Guard during Vietnam an important consideration in this election.
Bush joined the Texas Air National Guard on May 27, 1968. The move was well-chosen and well-timed. Only four Air National Guard squadrons were sent to Vietnam, and none was sent after Bush enlisted. All he had to do was fulfill a "statement of understanding" in which he promised to attend 24 days of weekend duty and 15 days of active duty each year.
He failed to do so. Four years into his six-year commitment, Bush "changed his mind" and decided "he preferred to be in politics." That description doesn't come from some phony memo. It comes from retired Col. Rufus Martin, Bush's then-personnel officer, in an interview with the Washington Post. Bush got permission to go to Alabama to help a family friend run for the Senate. A Boston Globe review of Bush's Guard records confirms that he "performed no service for one six-month period in 1972 and for another period of almost three months in 1973." The Globe's investigative team, echoing investigators from other publications, reports that "no one has come forward with any credible recollection of having witnessed Bush performing guard service in Alabama or after he returned to Houston in 1973."
U.S. News & World Report notes that the "military service obligation" Bush signed in 1968 required him to attend 44 inactive-duty training drills every fiscal year for six years. He did not fulfill that requirement. Furthermore, when Bush took off for Harvard Business School in 1973, he signed a form pledging "to locate and be assigned to another Reserve forces unit or mobilization augmentation position." He never did so.
In fairness to Bush, Vietnam was a lousy war. And lots of guys who joined the Guard in those days lost interest in their duties once the penalty they feared—assignment to active duty in Vietnam—expired with the war. Maybe we should cut Bush some slack. But before we do, let's look at how much slack he's cutting the folks who serve in the Guard today.
The Guard's primary purpose has traditionally been homeland security. "When you become a member of the Guard, you serve where you live," says the Guard's recruitment Web site. "You can join a unit right in your hometown or wherever you want to live." According to the site, "Initially, soldiers can serve for as little as three years," and since "you'll normally train part-time … you can go to college or work full-time." There's just one hitch: "During national emergencies, however, the President reserves the right to mobilize the National Guard, putting them in federal duty status."
That's the language Bush has invoked to mobilize half the Guard's 450,000 troops. On Sept. 14, 2001, he proclaimed that "a national emergency exists by reason of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center … and the Pentagon, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States." He authorized the Secretary of Defense to put the Guard and Reserves on active duty "to respond to the continuing and immediate threat of further terrorist attacks on the United States." Based on this authorization, the Army has sent thousands of guardsmen overseas and has instituted a "stop-loss" policy that prevents them from being released when their active duty commitments expire.
But these Guard troops aren't being sent to fight the people who attacked the United States in September 2001. They're being sent to—and locked in—Iraq. Some 40,000 members of the Guard are in Iraq today—six times the number of guardsmen sent to Vietnam. Already, more Guard troops have died in Iraq than in Vietnam.
What does Iraq have to do with the "national emergency" declared by Bush in 2001? Nothing. The 9/11 commission found "no evidence" of "a collaborative operational relationship" between Iraq and al-Qaida. Four days ago, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell reaffirmed, "I have no indication that there was a direct connection between the terrorists who perpetrated these crimes against us on the 11th of September, 2001, and the Iraqi regime."
In short, Bush has pulled Guard troops away from their homeland security duties to fight and die in a war unrelated to the service for which they enlisted. A guardsman who did less than he signed up for is coercing other guardsmen to do more than they signed up for.
One guardsman is doing something about it. After serving nine years in the Marines and the Army, including combat duty in Iraq, he enlisted last fall in the Guard. The bait he swallowed was the "Try One" program, which supposedly lets veterans sample a year of Guard service before making a longer commitment. Two months ago, invoking its "stop-loss" policy, the Army called up the guardsman's unit for duty in Iraq and changed his one-year commitment to three years. He sued to void the policy, noting that its application to Iraq "bears no relation to the threat of terrorism against the United States."
Most Guard officers, however, refuse to admit that their institution is being abused. They gave Bush standing ovations on Tuesday when he told them that "you're fighting terrorist enemies in Iraq" and that the war was "necessary to defend America."
Kerry brought them a different message. "Far too many of you have been on the ground for far too long, much longer than was expected or promised," he reminded them Thursday. "Many of you are our first responders here at home: fire fighters, police officers, and emergency medical technicians. To take you out of your communities is to take down our critical first line of defense. That's no way to protect America."
What response did Kerry get? Silence.
Those brave, loyal, hoodwinked guardsmen. They think Bush is one of them. They don't understand that the only presidential candidate who's done the job they're doing now—risking life and shedding blood—is the guy on the other side.

|50 for time - make them perfect reps
Does anyone have any idea what 10 minutes of KB snatches is going to do to the body? Better bring my wheelchair for post workout recovery.
this is nate.
it's not bad. you should be more concerned about your hands. this is known as the secret service snatch test: they use this as part of an assessment. i've done it before in afghanistan. just looked it up on the beyondthewhiteboard...17, nov. 2009 I got 222 reps. i think the world record is like 275 or 279 or something like that. they do it in kettlebell competitions. definitely gonna be taping my hands up well. tear it up!
Lower back is pooched, not supposed to do any jarring movements for a week, but stay active, guess I can do intervals on cardio equipment, though I Feel like eating terrible food and quiting fitness all together, the next time I post send a forklift to carry me out of my house....
Nate again.
Question. jerk is from rack. some people seem to commonly call a rack jerk from behind the neck, on the back. however, the "rack" position is in the front. so which is it?
nate again.
Heavy Evy, stay with it bro! I hurt my back a month back and had to take it easy for a couple weeks as well. sucked, but listening to my body instead of pushing it appears to have lead to a full recovery. think long-term goals...
@brent -
I am prepping a guy at my gym for the Secret Service special agent test and have done this with him (he has to do 200 in 10 mins). It is doable to do 20/min for 10 mins, but I would be careful not to blow it out at the beginning. On tuesday, I did a 5 min version of this with my guy and got 106 in 5 minutes without breathing too hard.
I agree with Nate 100% on the taping of hands. Started getting blisters pretty quick...recovery-wise, did a bunch of work on the external rotators and scapula with a ball. I'm sure you'll be fine.
Nate - nice pun. Wish I could be there with you guys tomorrow. Tear it up!
PS. I'll assume the rack here is from the front unless I hear otherwise.
Split Jerk: #220
KB snatch: 234 reps in 10 min
Lots of chalk, not that bad just couldn't go any faster, had probably around 30sec rest all up, 250 should be within reach if did a bit more suck factor.
Think I cracked the floor from the touch and go every time!
Massively weakness on the HSPU, did some pressing on friday to improve this weakness. Did half as walk up the wall and half as regular.
Can i be an secret agent now???
Does the KB go back to the floor in between each rep or just to the hang?
Nate here. KB should not have to go to floor every rep, simply back to the hang. They don't do that in any competition i've been to so far and they don't do that in the KB competitions that I've watched videos of. Unless Coach wants otherwise...
Checking the utube videos, it looks like a swing, not a touch to the floor, fwiw. I'm on the 10 min rest between jerk and hspu so will check back to see if there's agreement or not in a bit.
Not sure how recent this is, but I'm sure a few of you should record your efforts:
The 297 is on youtube
Just missed locking out 261, 257 is best last year. For HSPU, did 5 every 30 sec to 25, then 3 every 30 for 3 more, then doubles to 40, then singles to finish. First time on the snatch, wow.
split jerk- 225# (5#PB)
KB snatch -100 reps-(subbed 1.25 pd as I couldn't get one with 1.5pd in warm up with out pressing out)
Split jerk- 196#(24#PB)
HSPU-can't do one so subbed 30# DB press)-4:53
KB Snatch- used 12kg as couldn't get technique-83reps
30lbs off my PR. Only good thing about HSPU is that they were all strict with good form. Just couldn't get going on the snatches (did them with the swing, not from the ground). Felt shitty today. Shitty warm up.
looking forward to improving all of these
SJ: 200#, 10# PR - super easy too, but metal plates
HSPU: 5:11 - done to 2",3",4" plates. 19 straight, then 5s & singles from there
KB Snatch: sort of lost count between 170-180. Subbed DB, as no KB in the globo.
Side note: Just found a crossfit gym in kalamazoo, MI (ya, it really exists). Super excited - see ya globo!
B. 17:41 (done to mat about size of 1 abmat)
first wod back after 10day layoff due to sickness and fatigue. was focused on the kb snatches from the start.
Split Jerk 205# (3 x f/215)
Had a hard time with split jerk today, felt heavy
first 25 strict then kipped the rest
KB Snatch 118
All touch and go reps
#195 pr
123 scaled to 40lb kb
need to work on splits..hspu felt ok today.
Good job to Big dawgs Rafa, Laura, and Vic @Redline. Everyone hit pr's!
Terrible planning this morning on my part. I let way too many factors interfere.
- Built to 250# on the weak side, then switched to strong side.
- Expected to get WAY closer to 300#, which really threw me off.
- The mental aspect of this game is a constant challenge for me. How strong am I really? How strong can we become?
B./C. Out of time. Like I said, bad planning.
Good luck dawgs!
Just missed 140. I couldn't lock it out. For HSPUs first ten were kipped then moved over to my rig (AKA bands). KB snatches went well, but I think I rested too much. Hardest part was the pop at the top to keep it from banging my wrist.
Great morning with Big Dawgs Jared and Vic!
Long time OPT fan, 1st time posting.
205# jerk (20#'s lower than cl&jerk PR)
HSPU:5:25 45# bump plate under head touch and go
10min Snatch:150 reps.
22:58 hspu time--yuck
90 snatches, BUT first i used 25# for 40 then went up to 35 # db for 50 reps.
did rest a full 10 before snatches b/c i was meeting some one for an endurance wod.
247#(2lb PR)
167 reps
no pop today.
A:133...yuck tied last PR
B: 5:15...to 1AbMat for 40 and 10 to 2blue pads=3/4 an abmat
I imagined today going sooo much better! I really thought I had more than 133 in me today, but thank god Holly Mangold is coming to fix my O-lifts in a few weeks! My HSPU felt weak today, left shoulder felt extra tweaky wanna try this again with better feeling shoulders! Snatches were ugh, my left arm just is so uncoordinated with them so I'm sure I'll have a beautiful bruise tomorrow! I just imagined breathing really hard during it and I didn't at all...I guess I better stop whining and get my shit together for tomorrow though!
Split Jerk - 295#
KB Snatch - 175
No KB so I had to do DB Snatch w/55#
I'm not sure what the difference is good or bad using the DB vs the KB but I never felt like I could get in a rhythm.
14:24 (to mat - about the size of an abmat)
Really happy to be back on OPT. I've missed this!! Feeling better and stronger already. I've never done that many HSPUs to that low before. Score.
5:37 strict.
Felt pretty good today. Worked on my snatch and press to handstand. Thanks for the great programming.
aka Mrs.dmarsh
1: 115kg (255#)
3: 157
Forearms hitting kb became the limiting factor today. Don't do them often enough. I think I'm capable of 200+ if I had a forearm guard. Good little test.
Nice numbers today dawgs and great job Gord!
didnt test today. Our gym had a paleo/primal/zone kick off. Everyone one who is participating had to do "jackie"
Row 1000m
50 thrusters 45lb
30 pull ups
5:53 20sec PR
Split Jerk: 225 PR
KB Snatch: 110
HSPU were tough but managed through it. It took me a little bit to find my rhythm, but once I did I picked up the pace. Good Day Overall.
Good Job Big Dawgs Jared, Rafa and Laura
Jennifer: AKA Mrs. dmarsh. I thought that name was familiar. Nice to see you posting on here, hope all is well.
Mrs Dmarsh who I will call JMarsh you are crazy beastly and I am so glad you are here posting awesome work.
Carrie so glad that you are back too!!
Got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday so not sure if being upside down is wise but we will see.
Split Jerk 1RM - 330 (tied PR)

Split Jerk: 114kg(251#) - PR

*HSPU's my #1 weakness so extremely happy with my progress.
235lb 20lb PR
6:43 – 3+ minutes better than last time
186 – I thought I had 196, but I think it was actually 186. I think I started in my right hand not left, which would mean 186. Not 100% sure now…
Hitting the BD challenge wods this afternoon cause I missed them last weekend.
and if time is on my side I'll try for todays testing later on in the evening.
nice numbers today Dawgs!
Rack jerk 205, 225, 230, 235, missed 240 3 times after OPT told me I couldn't be a great CrossFit athlete and a great father
KB snatch 190 reps
285# (+20# pr)
A. 255# (10# off pr)
B. 4:10 (all strict...last 5 took 40 seconds)
C. Subbed 55# db - 173 reps
-push pressed 250# today...sad that I could only get 5# more on split jerk.
-disappointed in part c...had 108 at 5 minutes.
-steve smith I feel the exact same bro...but we all have good and bad days and if ur throwing up 270# on a bad day man I wouldn't sweat it at all. Ur a beast and ur times and numbers in general are always very impressive and motivating. Good work today evryone!
Thanks PTS and Lisa!
I am so happy to be here and throw down with such an amazing group of athletes. Dmarsh and I just opened Crossfit Garden City.

I am so happy to be here and throw down with such an amazing group of athletes. Dmarsh and I just opened Crossfit Garden City.
Split Jerk - 250#
KB Snatch - 135 reps
Unhappy with KB Snatches; really hurt back of forearms each time they hit as I extend arm at top(I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here). Regardless of what I do with wrist/forearm, I can't get comfortable with these...any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.
Laura, Vic and Jared congrats on your PRs!
All HSPU were strict, head to floor, full arm extension at top.
SJ - 245 ( 265f x 2)
Hspu - 6:10 (kipping)
Kb snatches - 181 (first 100 under 5min, then gassed)
SJ: 245 (almost had 255)
HSPU: 8:53 - mix of strict and kipped
KB Snatch - 204
Good day for the most part
This is Nate.
Part 1: 335 (10lb PR). hit 330, failed 340, then dropped to 335 and hit it a little shakily. good to PR though.
Part 2: 2:32. all strict.
Part 3: 238. 16 rep PR. hands were the limiting factor. had them taped and the tape just bunched up. spent some time trying to find the ends and unbunch the tape and get it off. good though. lower left back quadrant tightened up.
Good doing this with competition.
sj- 225
hspu- 5:23
kbs- 155
Split jerk - 145# PR!! I think i had 150 in me but didn't want to push shoulder
HSPUs only did 25 as teeth started to bleed and hurt 13:15 pathetic!
KBsnatch 147 damn it i wanted 150 so bad but my damn hands started to tear so bad and I just couldn't hang on for those last three. Grip is fried!!
A: 210(tied pr)
SJ: 235 pr
5 min break
strict...forehead to floor.
5 min break
first time doing more than 5-10 kb sn at any weight. Left hand was about to rip wide open so stayed on rt. for last minute. This will improve when I try it again.
ohhh dear
i apologise to all, i just realised i did it with a 16kg and not 24, no wonder!!!!!
what a brain fart
First day going heavy after switching over to splitting with the right leg forward - 20 lbs. off PR, felt strong but definitely awkward. Handstand push-ups were all strict, and a massive PR from just six weeks ago. Mental failure on the snatches - had 100 at 5:00, then lost it.
nate again.
final attempt, 335, PR.
URL: http://vimeo.com/19075083
More vids to come including AJ's 310 PR.
HSPU - 2:30 (strict)
1.5 pood snatches - 200
I used the "cut tube sock" technique from Dragon Door to avoid ripping my hands up and it worked great.
Part 1. 265# (20#PR)
Part 2. 3:52 Tried longer break (30sec) b/t attempts. 17,10,10,6,6,1. Seemed to work well. Competed against Skvarka. a.k.a. Surperman. He has similar capacity in this movement.He worked with 15 sec break. We finished pretty close in time. He got me by a few sec. Every sec counts though right? Good test. May try a bit shorter break nest time.
Part 3. 150. First time trying this. Stopping to chalk was bigger limiting factor than fatigue. Still recovering from URI seven days ago.
No rack or proper weights at work, so skipped the Split Jerk, and will try it sometime this week
HSPU's 8:40...first half were easy and strict and done in 2min, but after that it fell apart and turned into kipping 1-3 at a time
160 reps, but with a 55lb DB. The weights were falling off of it because it was the twist on ends - what a stupid design and idea that is, but apparently it's "safer" then spring clips, bullshit!!
Low back tightened up pretty bad on the snatches too, but loosened up fine afterwards.
As much as I like doing things on the day of, I may start going a few days behind only to be better prepared when I'm on shift.
Nate - how big are you? Just watched that 335 which is very impressive, but have no idea how heavy you are.
Jerk 310- 5lb PR
A. 235lbs
Notes: Hit 235 after failing on it once then missed on 245. Previous PR was 246 so a little disappointing, but then again I haven't jerked heavy in a while. HSPUs went rough--hit 10 pretty easy to start with then only got 7 in next set, then did the rest in 3s and 2s. KB snatches were pretty nasty, started with 15 on each arm then moved to sets of 10. Hopefully this cold will pass so I can get back to pushing harder.
Yesterday was the 5 year anniversary of.the death of my father he was a WWII marine and I had some drinks in his honor...

push jerk 220
hspu 6:08

good times...
lisa, i was going to vote no on going up side down. hope you heal quickly.
Just watched my HSPU and DBsnatch videos.
The count on the 10 min 55# DB Snatch AMRAP was actually 182 not 202. I was doing 10 per arm and lost track by one set.
Here is the HSPU video. A couple of non-reps should have been do-overs. Good learning tool.
Split Jerk: 190 felt a lil something in my Knee so I moved on
HSPU: 6:54 didn't play it right. strict
I've done Diane in less than 4 minutes which has 45 hspu's, not sure why this is taking me so long.
KB snatch: 165 reps... started out doing 5 reps per arm up to 40x then went to 10 reps per arm to keep a better flow, not sure if there is a specific way this was to be done....great day over all
160 reps
Beastly numbers guys!
C. 173 reps
First time trying KB snatch, very humbling, glad to have a baseline to now work off of.
day behind, powder was too good to pass up yesterday

Placement, Counseling Services, Financial Aid and Graduate Assistantships
Refer to the Western Connecticut State University's Graduate Catalog for information concerning Campus Counseling Services. Students receiving financial assistance under the federal supported Title IV Programs must comply with the following criteria to be eligible for such assistance.
- Quality of academic performance: Students must be matriculate and must maintain a 3.0 GPA to remain a matriculated graduate student in the University.
- Speed of completion of the graduate object, i.e. satisfactory progress. a. For full-time graduate students, satisfactory progress is defined as the work toward completion of a minimum of 18 semester hours of academic work toward completion of a graduate degree or planned program per academic year of students who enroll in the fall and nine (9) semester hours for students initially enrolling in the spring or enrolling only for the fall or summer terms. Failed courses or audited courses will not be counted. Students may not receive financial assistance for more than 4 semesters of full-time attendance or until the student is certified for program completion by the University, whichever comes first. b. For part time graduate students, satisfactory progress is defined as the successful completion of a minimum of twelve (12) semester hours of academic work toward completion of a graduate degree or a planned program per academic year for students who enroll in the fall and six fall or summer term. Failed courses or audited courses will not be counted. Students may not receive financial assistance for more than eight (8) semesters of part-time attendance or until the student is certified for program completion by the University, whichever comes first.
- Students who do attain the levels of satisfactory progress indicated above may complete the required credits in summer school without Title IV financial assistance. Students who increase the number of semester hours which have been required for satisfactory at the end of the semester when they lost this status will again be eligible to apply for school will not be eligible for any Title IV financial assistance for the following a academic year.
- Upon presentation of evidence of medical emergencies or other legitimate personal or family emergencies, students who have been denied financial assistance under this policy may appeal to the campus officer designated by the President.
- Title IV Programs are:
a. College Work-Study Program (CWSP)
b. Carl D. Perkins National Direct Student Loan
c. Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSLP)
d. Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students Program (PLUS)/Supplemental Loan Program (SLP)
The Financial Aid Office is located in room 105 Old Main at the Midtown Campus. The office will assist you in obtaining information on how to apply for grants, work-study, and loans. Several Graduate Assistantships are available to matriculated graduate students. Application forms can be secured in the Office of Personnel Administration, and the Graduate Admissions Office. Also, contact the Dean of Professional Studies for details on Assistantships.
Students who successfully complete all requirements for the Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling or in School Counseling will receive formal endorsement in their area of specialization by the faculty of the training program. Formal endorsement includes recommendation for state certification and employment for those students successfully completing the program in school counseling, or recommendation for employment as a clinical counselor in a setting consistent with the training provided by the clinical counseling program. Students will receive formal program endorsement only in that program for which they have met training requirements. Successful completion of a program means the completion of all didactic and experiential coursework including practicum and internship, and marked by performance sufficient to insure that the candidate possesses the skills and competencies necessary for ethical provision of services to clients in the setting for which endorsement is made. Completion of all requirements means that candidates in the clinical mental health option have completed the 60 credit Masters Degree and candidates in the school counseling option have completed 48 credit Master Degree as mandated by CACREP. Please note, beginning in 2020, CACREP requires that school counseling candidates must complete a 60 credit Masters Degree. All candidates must maintain a 3.0 (B) average throughout the 48 credit program.

Nov. 13 is the planned date (about 8:45 into this video if you're interested; it explains Jet's comments during the confessional).
Reality TV World: Exactly what happened at Lucasfilm with your money and personal stuff? Last night's show really never showed you guys after that so it was a little unclear. Caite Upton: What happened was Brent and I got there and I had my money bag and in the lobby there are two separate changing rooms -- one for me and one for Jet -- and when Jet came out to bring out his clothes that he had changed out of, he laid it over my money bag knowing that's my money bag. He was playing the game, he knew it was my money bag, he knew I would probably miss it -- so I ran out without it. Reality TV World: So you know it was deliberate? Did he acknowledge it, or are you [assuming that]? Caite Upton: I know it was deliberate. It was the only thing sitting on the entire couch. He knew that wasn't his and he knew it was mine -- or somebody's -- and he deliberately put the clothes over the top of it. He could have laid his clothes somewhere else on the couch. But no, he put it over the top of the money bag. So, yeah.
Jet and Cord to be the Calgary Stampede parade marshalls July 9.http://calgary.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20100615/CGY_stampede_parade_100615/20100615?hub=CalgaryHome&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=CTVcalgary.ca
Even so the hate for them is mostly stemming from one word?? Prophet
I suppose this argument is just over my head. I truly don't understand what makes people so worked up out Jet's supposed word choice.I rest my case.
It seems to me that calling someone a "fag" is not something that you do when you are out in public at an event held by and for TAR fans, especially when you were IN the race. It is not something one does when the person's mother is present. A word is just a word? No, it isn't. It was meant to be hurtful and demeaning, a word used as a homophobic slur. However in my opinion, the person who demeaned himself was the person who uttered the word not the intended target. Just because someone can open their mouth to say something doesn't mean they shouldn't think about it before they actually do it. JMO.

Oops! That definition could not be found.
Try using S from the alphabetical navigation located above and below the definitions below.
A/B Switch
A device that accepts inputs (optical or electrical) from a primary path and a secondary path to provide automatic or manual switching in the event that the primary path signal is broken or otherwise disrupted. In optical A/B switches, optical signal power thresholds dictate whether the primary path is functioning and signals a switch to the secondary path until optical power is restored to the primary path.
A/D or ADC
Abbreviation for analog-to-digital converter. A device used to convert analog signals to digital signals.
That portion of optical attenuation in optical fiber resulting from the conversion of optical power to heat. Caused by impurities in the fiber such as hydroxyl ions.
Abbreviation for alternating current. An electric current that reverses its direction at regularly recurring intervals.
Acceptance Angle
The half-angle of the cone (a) within which incident light is totally internally reflected by the fiber core. It is equal to sin-1(NA).
Active Device
A device that requires a source of energy for its operation and has an output that is a function of present and past input signals. Examples include controlled power supplies, transistors, LEDs, amplifiers, and transmitters.
Add/Drop Multiplexing
a multiplexing function offered in connection with SONET that allows lower level signals to be added or dropped from a high-speed optical carrier in a wire center. The connection to the add/drop multiplexer is via a channel to a central office port at a specific digital speed (DS3, DS1, etc.)
