NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's and women's track and field teams made it through split competitions this past weekend with several monumental and record-breaking results.
"We had a good solid pre-conference weekend. In some areas we are really improving. There are also some areas we see need to be a bit more ready for Atlantic Sun," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field.
Due to inclement weather, the trip to Indiana took nearly twice as long as it should have and some competitors even missed their races after snow storms swept through the state.
"Our milers missed their races and our open 800 meter runners had very little warm up," said Taylor. "Our kids handled it all really well though. They had great attitudes and we all rolled with the challenges."
But that didn't stop Lipscomb athletes from posting strong numbers.
Dani Walker won the 800 meters with a time of 2:12.50, which put her at the top of the leaderboard in the A-Sun for that event.
Also having solid performances this weekend were Colin Dempster and Madi Talbert.
Dempster managed to set a school record in the 400 meters landing him second in the A-Sun rankings with a time of 48.28.
Talbert dominated the 3000 meters with a time of 9.58 that sent her to the number two ranking in the league.
Tucker Peabody, who competed solo at the Spire Complex in Geneva, Ohio, also achieved great results having broken the school record for the indoor 200 meters with a time of 21.05 ranking him 21st in the nation.
"We moved a number of our distance runners into good positions for the A-Sun Championships," said Taylor.
While the results for the meets this past weekend were mixed, Taylor is not worried about the upcoming A-Sun Indoor Championships.
"We have a history of performing very well at the Championships, so I'm not concerned," said Taylor. I know everyone will be ready to go. They compete for each other."
The squad will hit the road to Winston-Salem, N.C. this week for the A-Sun Championships that take place on Friday and Saturday at the JDL Fast Track.

Background to the Reformation
Going medieval on religion
Further reading: Augustine
Mike Reeves
- Mike Reeves was formerly UCCF's Head of Theology, and is now Theologian-at-Large at Wales Evangelical School of Theology. View all resources by Mike Reeves
The secondary literature on Augustine is bewilderingly immense, and generally the man himself is considerably easier to read than his commentators. The first port of call should definitely be the Confessions; after that, The City of God, On Christian Doctrine and his own small systematic theology, the Enchiridion, are all near musts for the thinking Christian.
Augustine: Later Works, Library of Christian Classics (London: SCM, 1955) also contains a collection of highly-readable shorter works (On the Spirit and the Letter, On the Trinity, and Homilies on the Epistle of John), accompanied by excellent explanatory notes. The Homilies on the Epistle of John are particularly stirring, bite-size sermons on his theology of love.
After that, the best introduction to Augustine is his definitive biography, which clearly puts his theology in context, Peter Browns Augustine of Hippo (London & Boston: Faber & Faber, 1967). A wonderful read.

Carmine Oliverio and her family live along Northwest 16th Avenue between 13th and 34th streets, a length of road that has been much debated with a redesign planned in the future.
But Oliverio has more immediate concerns — overgrown vegetation and metal rebar sticking out at a now-closed median.
Using the sidewalks is dangerous because overgrown shrubs limit the sightlines of drivers pulling out of neighborhoods, she said.
Meanwhile, rebar that was used with concrete parking curbs to block the median near 13th Street is sticking out above the curbs, she said in an email.
"With the hills and speeds of children on their bikes — it's only a matter of time before a vehicle approaching 16th Ave from the intersecting roads injures someone. Can the county assess which neighborhoods have overgrown vegetation at the intersections and cut it back to improve safety?" Oliverio asked, adding that the rebar is "just waiting to impale someone, snag a shoe lace and trip a pedestrian, get into the spokes of a bicycle tire, or shred a car tire that runs up on them. Just last week I saw a grade school kid standing among the rebar rods waiting for a break in the traffic to cross. Can the county fix this safety/liability issue?"
Civil engineer Brian Singleton of Alachua County's public works department, which has jurisdiction over 16th Avenue, said a work order has been created to investigate and trim any vegetation on 16th Avenue from 13th to 43rd streets. He added that the county will coordinate with the city to trim vegetation on the side streets.
A work order has also been created to trim the rebar, Singleton said.
"The County did not anticipate that pedestrians would access the location as it not a designated crosswalk; a work order has been created to cut the rebar down to match the top of the wheel since pedestrians have been seen crossing at the location," Singleton said in an email.

Seib & Wessel: Japan Gets Back in the Growth Game
WSJ's David Wessel, who just returned from a trip to Asia, says Japan's economy looks to be getting back on its feet after a long slump, just as China's growth boom appears to be slowing.

Dear Diners,
After 9 years of proudly promoting Kansas City's locally owned restaurants, we decided to close our "doors" as of July 1, 2012.
I have lived through many exciting restaurant openings and sad closings. I have loved the relationships with the restaurateurs and all of you, many who have been our loyal customers since KansasCityMenus first appeared online in 2003.
My partners, Nate and Mike Schmidt, are going forward with our next innovative concept, Deal Co-op. This platform provides anyone with an online audience, the ability to build a fully-featured group buying store and easily start running offers on their own website. It is an exciting new step for us.
Thank you for giving our small, family business the vote of confidence when we began designing websites, created a strong Internet presence for locally owned restaurants and first brought the discount gift certificate concept to Kansas City. Happy Dining to you all.
Jeanie Cerne Schmidt

You inspect the crowd, casually admiring and judging the people who pass by. Then someone catches your eye. You immediately zoom in. There's just something about her that seems intelligent, interesting, intriguing. Should you walk over there? If so, what do you say? After sparring with the timid version of yourself for a moment, you order a Venti-size cup of chutzpah and walk over. Heart thumping. Face flushing. You're right in front of her. The mouth opens. And you say, "Your boys love Go-Gurt, huh? I can't keep enough of it in our fridge."
Ah, to date other parents. It's one of the great phenomena of the parenting world: People with kids gravitate to other people with kids. And we've behaved this way since taking our first bipedal steps out of the primordial soup. Our old-school hominid Homo erectus established band societies—small groups of families that hunted, gathered, and lived together—more than 1 million years ago. All these millennia later, it's basically the same. We hunt for great babysitters; we gather potty-training tips.
Having kids hits the reset button on your social life. It's like showing up at the freshman dorm all over again. Finding someone to relate to and commiserate with is essential. "A parent understands with every fiber of her being what another parent is going through," says Dana Dorfman, Ph.D., a psychotherapist and family counselor in New York City. "Not only does that relationship offer support, but also validation. When a parent feels like she's the only one in this situation, it can have a profoundly negative effect."
But finding a PILF (Parent I'd Like to Friend) isn't simple. You don't vibe with another mom or dad simply because they've procreated. A family is composed of many different personalities, ages, and temperaments, which means there are a number of factors related to success and failure.
There is no eHarmony or Match.com for the sippy-cup and stroller set, so we've created Playdate My Family!—the ultimate guide to dating other families.
And, yes, there's a reason we call it "dating." You may think the term isn't appropriate: It makes moms and dads sound like hormonal teenagers pining away for a crush. But from a psychological perspective, that is exactly what's going on. "Becoming a parent is a second adolescence," says Dorfman. "You're not entirely comfortable in your new skin, and you're experiencing insecurity in this new role. As a result, you're very much yearning for peer contact, much like a teenager."
Adolescence and parenthood share many of the same experiences: body and hormonal changes, mood swings, experiencing love in a new way. Despite our marital or romantic status, we're left to explore and master this new territory alone. That's why dating other parents is so important. It's less scary to ride the roller coaster with a friend at your side.
Similar Levels of Expectation
If Play-Doh ends up in the DVD player or the decibel level at dinner reaches something similar to Metallica live at the Coliseum, no one walks away shell-shocked or surprised. Your college gal pal who's living like Carrie Bradshaw probably won't be very sympathetic.
Shared Resources
"Families can share clothes, furniture, gear, and information about health care providers, teachers, and schools," says Tina Tessina, Ph.D., a licensed psychotherapist in Long Beach, CA, and author of Money, Sex and Kids: Stop Fighting About the Three Things That Can Ruin Your Marriage.
Trust is a Must
Even if she comes highly recommended, leaving your child with a new babysitter can be unsettling. You need to know the people spending quality time with your kid. Through the dating process, you can vet other parents before trusting them with your precious cargo.
JESSICA DENAY, mother of 11-year-old son Gabriel
AUTHOR OF The Hot Mom's Handbook
Likes: Green tea, Modern Family, cocktail rings
Dislikes: Fast food, cold weather, waking up early
Best part of having mom friends: They are more compassionate. You don't need to explain if you are ten minutes late. They know how hard it is to get out the door.
Her Story: Ten years ago, Denay told a bunch of moms at the local playground about her supercool playgroup. Cell-phone numbers were exchanged; dates were scheduled. There was one problem: There was no playgroup.
"I didn't have any friends with kids, and there wasn't Facebook," recalls Denay. "So I hustled those moms." That first improvised gathering was the seed for the Hot Moms Club (don't be a hater—her brother coined the name), which has grown from a single playgroup to a website to a book series. Her latest is The Hot Mom's Handbook.
"Women are wired to be more connection-oriented than men," explains Dorfman. "It was an evolutionary necessity." In other words, women are the "gatherers": Sharing materials to survive a harsh winter has evolved into sharing information about preschools they like, products they don't, and parenting tips that have worked for them.
LANCE SOMERFELD father of 3-year-old son Jake
FOUNDER OF nycdadsgroup.com
Likes: Fantasy football, U2, New York Yankees
Dislikes: Sports teams from Boston, mayonnaise
Best part of having dad friends: Not going through the challenges of parent-hood alone. Let's face it, guys do not like to ask for directions.
His Story: Once the obligatory strolls through Central Park got tiresome, New York stay-at-home dad Somerfeld founded NYC Dads Group (nycdadsgroup.com), a dudes-only playgroup that plans four to five activities every week (from peewee soccer to afternoon sing-alongs with a local musician). Over the past couple of years, NYC Dads has grown from Somerfeld and a handful of neighborhood fathers to 400 guys citywide.
"At a mom playgroup, the discussion is often about best practices, like how to breastfeed," says Somerfeld. "Most of the time we're talking about sports, art, and politics. Although I must admit, I get the best parenting advice from these guys." Most recently, he's been collecting tips to get his son to use his new Boon potty.
But it's not all about the kids. They socialize as grownups as well. NYC Dads hosts regular get-togethers at local sports bars. For Mom, knowing that Dad is out with a group of involved fathers seems beneficial. Adds Somerfeld: "We've got one dad who gets a pass to go out every time because it's with us."

If you answered mostly C's… The kids are the driving force, and that's okay unless you had high expectations for the grown-ups. Plus, a PILF should inspire you to raise your game, not accept the path of least resistance. Keep playing the field.
How to Break Up
You gave it your best effort, but it's not clicking. So what to do when it's time to say you're just not that into them?
For starters, don't feel guilty. "It's a misguided notion that the adults must be friends if the children are friends," says Dorfman. "That said, it's important to maintain a cordial relationship. It's a great model for kids to see."
The breakup strategy depends on the age of your child. If he's very young (baby or toddler), make a clean break. At this stage of development, any child in his age group can provide an adequate social outlet. However, for older kids (kindergartners and up), friendships are more meaningful. Unless you have a fundamental problem with the other parent (discipline style, lack of supervision), dropping off your child for a get-together or hosting the kids at your home is the best option. "The general principle is that parental involvement diminishes as the children get older," Dorfman notes. If the other parent invites your family over for a barbecue, politely decline, but say "We'd love to have Jayden over next week. He and Owen have such fun together."
Of course, kids are known to break up, too. But this doesn't mean it has to be over for everyone. The parents can see each other sans kids. Remember: When a couple dates, there are two personalities; when a family dates, there can be upward of a dozen. So manage your expectations, and be realistic.

Magdalena Kusserow
Born: January 23, 1924
Bochum, Germany
One of 11 children, Magdalena was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. When she was 7, her family moved to the small town of Bad Lippspringe. Her father was a retired postal official and her mother was a teacher. Their home was known as "The Golden Age" because it was the headquarters of the local Jehovah's Witness congregation. By age 8 Magdalena could recite many Bible verses by heart.
1933-39: Our loyalty was to Jehovah, so the Nazis marked us as enemies. At 12 I joined my parents and sister in missionary work. Catholic priests denounced us. Papa was arrested for hosting Bible study meetings in our home; even Mama was arrested. The Gestapo searched our house many times, but my sisters and I managed to hide the religious literature. In 1939 the police took my three youngest siblings to be "reeducated" in Nazi foster homes.
1940-44: I was arrested in April 1941 and detained in nearby juvenile prisons until I was 18. I was told that I could go home if I signed a statement repudiating my faith. But I refused and was deported to the Ravensbrueck concentration camp. After a harrowing trip with common criminals and prostitutes, I was assigned to do gardening work and look after the children of the SS women. Within a year, my mother and sister Hildegard were also in Ravensbrueck; with God's help, we Jehovah's Witnesses stuck together.
During a forced march from Ravensbrueck in April 1945, Magdalena, her sister and mother were liberated. When the war ended, they returned to Bad Lippspringe.

I've been using Abiword for quite sometimes now to nominate it to the list.
AbiWord is GNU Free Software word processor .. so its .. free . Lots of plugin to enhances its ability.
There are some quirks, that makes you save always (as a protection) but so far I dont missed the lack of MSOffice in my own computer ^^
There still a few more free software I'm testing out .. I'll see if its worth it to post.

Abiword isn't good enough to beat OO.o but it is a simple and effective little packege.. I guess..
The rule is top 2 get description the other good ones only get mentioned.. :P

o_O .. its good enough if you wanted only the word processing rather then the whole package I guess..
Also, the filesize is just a tiny 5Mb .. and <10Mb if you included the plugins..

@ Sylf - I see @_@ thanks for the info.. well there are still lots to choose from..
@ Kira_Naruto - It is it is it is xD.. but I just don't see how that's a reason to make it stand out.. the basic idea is that if people need to just write something like an essey on X subject then WordPad is enough.. but if they want to start using tables, have some grammer checks etcetera.. then their better off with progs like OO.o where they have more control.. I like the program, the GUI is simple, clean ^_^.. but that doesn't make it a better alternative..
O_o And there's the little issues with the options.. (they're either way too basic, for example for tables, or they're over complicated, the math writer)
To give a simple off-topic example, for the graphics section I looked over a program called Art Rage 2 (it has a free version).. it's GUI is just heavenly and the painting tools and settings look great.. it's greate as a toy.. but because you can't save in anything else then it's native-format (to give just a simple example of one of the deficiencies) it's not practical..
*goes back to reserching other alternatives for graphic editing progys*

IRC clients
Ok lets see.. How much better are mirc, x-chat, Irssi then the 100% free IceChat ( http://www.icechat.net/site/ ) (latest version 7 added 06-Feb-2005 )
Here's a basic description from the net..
"IceChat can connect to many IRC Servers, has full scripting support and customizable popup menus and a unique, easy to use Interface. It has emoticon support, skins, full DCC Support, and easy to setup for Multi Servers. IceChat is in constant development, and is totally free to use."
Unfortunatly I don't use IRC that much so I can't tell if it's good or bad.. all I could tell was that it could connect to #AnimeSuki
Any opinions on this would be appreatiated..
How could have I forgoten about that lil' one.. ^^''Quote -

mIRC remains to be one of the most popular client around just because of the sheer number of readily available scripts. And its scripting language is dead easy to learn. Major scripts like sysreset and UPP makes the users' lives much easier on IRC. And if they ever have any question, they can just turn around and ask any buddies in the channel, and someone is likely to know the answer. You can't expect the same thing for icechat.
I think x-chat and irssi are popular among people who are at least familiar with unix/linux environment. People who like GUI will use x-chat, and people who likes to type everything to get things done will use irssi. Or some people will buy a shell account somewhere, and run irssi in screen session, so their IRC session will never be dropped, even when they're rebooting their own PC.

Scripts are scripts - they enhance the functionality of the program. Icechat has scripting capability as well. I think they have their own small script repository as well.
The major scripts such as sysreset and UPP that I mentioned are actually a whole package of scripts, many of them working together. It's almost like a plug-in system. Or like the extensions for Firefox. Some of those scripts even go so far to really make the whole mIRC experience a LOT different from using the stock mIRC out of box.
The scripts are there to enhance the irc experience. Some of those adds functionalities, such as file serving, auto greeting system, file server browsing helper, winamp / other media player song announcement, or even bittorrent status show off... Some others automate things, such as nickserv auto registration / identification, flood/spam control, channel stats taking, kick/ban management for the channel ops, etc, etc. Others are there for pure entertainment, such as slap scripts, trivia bots, quote bots, etc.

srcipts . They use e.g. some sort of a meta language based on perl (for mIRC). The scripts are interpreted by the IRC client. One can influence the user interface for some of the IRC clients (i.e. mIRC) very much. E.g. one can write mini-programs and other things that make the life of a chatter easier or funnier (depends).
The primary idea is automation and gadets.

Haha.. I already knew what scripts were.. didn't know what made them so improtant for IRC.. heh.. ok I get it now..
So I guess mIRC is the best pay one..
And the best free one is............ ????? // some help please..
Also I'm having some trouble with audio programs.....
I feel like Ableton Live is the best.. but I'm a n00b so I guess I think like that just because it's easy on me.. anyway.. any other opinions.. should I place Adobe Audition as the best, or maybe Audacity.. hmm..

mIRC-script easy to learn? @______@
mIRC-script is one of the most counter-intitutive, inconsistent, syntax-anal, hard-to-debug, badly documented pseudo-languages that has ever been invented. Granted, if you don't know Perl already it's probably easier to get very simple things done in mircscript than it is to learn Perl AND how stuff works in irssi's script module, but at least there it's a real programming language that can do real things with real data, not a playground pseudo-language that doesn't even have proper support for lists or escaping, much less things like associative arrays (or more advanced data structures) and real file I/O.

Taking Linux for a test drive
Might I make a suggestion to the person (or persons) who wondered about how to try Linux?
Nowadays there are a number of CD-based Linux "distributions" that boot from and run off your CD drive. You don't need to do anything to your hard drive; all the software that you need comes on the CD and runs from there. (A Linux "distribution" includes both the Linux operating system "kernel" plus a whole raft of other software including the windowing front end, application packages like OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird and the GIMP, and a wide variety of system utilities and other tools. Complete distributions these days can easily fill a few CD's or most of a DVD, and all the software in these distributions is free.)
Now obviously running off the CD is going to be somewhat slower than running off an installation on your hard drive, but you can get a feel for what Linux looks and acts like without making a major investment in altering your system.
There are two of these CD-based distributions that I would recommend. One is Ubuntu and the other is Knoppix. I'd recommend trying them both as they use different desktop managers (Ubuntu uses GNOME, while Knoppix uses KDE) so you can see what the alternatives look like.
Now for the bad news. Do not expect to play any audio or video files that have any proprietary features without some additional work; this means no mp3, no avi, no wma, no DVDs, etc. The problem is that all these technologies are proprietary and to use them (in some countries, notably the US) a licensing fee must be paid. Because most Linux distributions contain only open-source software they can't include these proprietary items.
All hope is not lost, however, because there are third-party sites (on servers outside the US) that you can access to download the missing pieces. (Note that downloading such packages onto a machine in the US may run afoul of copyright and patent laws. You've been warned.) For Ubuntu, you might want to check out Automatix which will install the missing parts for you.
If you're williing to take the plunge and install Linux, you can still preserve your Windows installation and set up a "dual-boot" arrangement. The simplest and safest technique is to install a second hard drive for Linux, but you can also repartiion a single drive and install both operating systems. Always install Linux after Windows; if you do it the other way around, Windows will make it impossible to boot Linux.
If you go the full installation route, you can choose from an ever-widening array of distributions. I'd stick with either Ubuntu or Fedora Core, a version of the popular RedHat distribution. I use Fedora myself because I've been a RedHat user for about a decade now. However Ubuntu is the hot new contender so you might want to look into it as well.
I've haven't used Windows anywhere for a couple of year now and don't miss it at all. (I don't play PC games.) My daughter has a dual-boot laptop, but she only uses the Windows side for the occasional game like Age of Empires. Tonight she asked me why anyone uses anything other than open-source software. Guess I've done a good job of brainwashing, oops I mean educating, her!

If I had the money I'ld choose Ableton Live too (as a sampler program), Adobe Audition is the best regarding sample editing (imo), but generally I don't want to influence you in that particular matter, the ranking is up to you.

Paint Color Portfolio: Pale Blue Bathrooms
A bathroom with the palest of blue walls takes on a cool, clean feeling that you don't even realize is coming from the color. These shades are subtle and atmospheric, and I find that such light blues (almost whites, even) work well both in naturally-lit spaces and in windowless bathrooms. An accent in a strong, warm color like golden yellow or tomato red can add a jolt of color if these wispy blues aren't enough:

Ducks and Kings get their turn to shine outdoorsby Dan Rosen
LOS ANGELES -- Jealousy and envy used to be the emotions that Corey Perry and Anze Kopitar experienced when they would turn on an NHL outdoor game. They'd see the spectacle of the event, the volume of media coverage, the grassroots appeal and have thoughts such as, "Good for them, but that'll never be us."
Saturday night at Dodger Stadium it will be them -- minus the snow and frigid temperatures.
The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings are ready to play the NHL's first warm-weather outdoor game to kick off the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series (9:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS2). The teams practiced at Dodger Stadium on Friday to get a taste of what they will be walking into Saturday night.
For Perry, Kopitar and others like Dustin Brown, Ryan Getzlaf, Teemu Selanne and Jonas Hiller, guys who have been in this market since the NHL's outdoor game explosion started in 2008, getting the chance to play in this game gives them the opportunity to check an item off the bucket list they have for their hockey careers.
Players want to play in these outdoor games. Now the Kings and Ducks get to play in a regular-season game that should make other players around the League jealous.
"It's one of those things you're hoping you're going to be a part of one, but usually you've got better odds playing in the east to participate in one," Kopitar said. "I guess there's a slight hope in your system where you want to play even here, and it's nice that this dream, I guess, comes true."
But for these guys, it hasn't really been a dream based in reality. How could it be? Outdoor hockey in L.A.? You must be joking, right?
"If you think about playing hockey in California, that's already crazy, and then people telling you [that] you should play outside, that's another step," Hiller said. "I think it's really cool and I'm really excited to be part of it."
Perry said the possibility of playing outdoors in Southern California never even crossed his mind.
He was drafted by the Ducks in 2003 and has been in Anaheim since 2005. He signed an eight-year contract extension last season; at the time, he figured he was signing away his chance to ever play in an NHL outdoor game.
"You never thought it would ever happen here in California," Perry said. "How are they going to build ice outside in Southern California with the sun beating down on the ice? You'd think it would melt. But it's cool. It's exciting. It brings you back to your roots."
Even guys who used to play in this market, like former Kings goalie Kelly Hrudey, are still sort of befuddled that this is happening in L.A.
"I'm overwhelmed by how exciting this is," Hrudey said. "You go back to our days in L.A. and Wayne [Gretzky] was traded in the summer of '88 and I came in the February of '89, and there was virtually, what I saw anyway, no recreational hockey being played. There was a lot of buzz because of Wayne, but for the kids it seemed like programs were non-existent. I can't imagine back then thinking that you could ever pull off a game at Dodger Stadium, that it'd be sold out and you'd have media here like this.
"For all of us that love hockey and grew up in a different environment, it's really cool to see."
Brown, though, hinted that he's not totally surprised the NHL has brought its outdoor experience to SoCal.
He noted in his mind the improvements in the science of making ice and how Dan Craig, the NHL's Senior Director of Facilities Operations, could create a playable NHL rink no matter the wind, snow, rain and unusually warm temperatures -- especially in Philadelphia in 2012 -- that he would have to battle against.
The refrigeration truck came. It all clicked with Brown.
"Early on you probably didn't think about [it being possible to play an outdoor game in Southern California], but each year you start to see them dialed in a little bit more," Brown said. "You start thinking they're getting pretty good at the outdoor ice and they can make it work."
But John Collins, the NHL's chief operating officer, said it wasn't until 2012, when the League witnessed how the L.A. market embraced the Kings during their run to the Stanley Cup championship, that the idea to bring outdoor hockey here came about.
The idea was to try to do something that is beyond anyone's wildest imagination.
"When we came here during the Stanley Cup run and you saw how much energy there was and the following for the Kings, and the Stanley Cup in Anaheim [in 2007] as well," Collins said. "You looked at it and said, 'Let's try and see if we can recreate that.' "
But as Collins noted, the League isn't here to prove that it can be done, that it can put on a quality regular-season outdoor game in Southern California. The idea now is to showcase the spectacle of these must-see events to a different market.
This is a national game being marketed on a local scale, exactly the way the NHL wants the Stadium Series to come off.
"I think if there is anything to prove it's to prove that hockey can be a lot bigger," Collins said. "The business of hockey and the brand of hockey can be a lot bigger. It's about exposing fans to just how great the sport is and how special these athletes are."
The event here in Southern California is so unique that Selanne said it's one of the reasons he decided to come back for another season.
Similarly, Anaheim forward Dustin Penner, the only player to have won the Stanley Cup with both Southern California teams, said the chance to play at Dodger Stadium was one of the reasons he signed with the Ducks after it was concluded that the shrinking salary cap for this season would prevent him from re-signing with the Kings.
"I was like, 'Well, it would be nice to go back to Anaheim just to be part of that outdoor game,' " Penner said. "I mean, it's not a big slice of the pie, but it factors into it. It's just a life experience."

In ancient Brikwar lore, there exists a legend which speaks of eons-old items which, when utilized by brave minifig warriors, could actually affect the actions and thoughts of their great overseers. These omnipotent items are said to be hidden away in the most hidden apertures, guarded by unfathomable horrors, and even if a minifig were lucky and daring enough to grasp their clammy, yellow hands on said relics, it would require inconceivable amounts of strength to release the potential power contained within them. Also according to the legend, the sheer power of the item would drive even the toughest, bravest minifig warrior to insanity, with suicidal and berserk thoughts manifesting in their brains, and in the end cause countless deaths.
If you don't catch my drift, I'm talking about items which once used by a minifig, can mess with the rules and principles of Brikwars. For example,
The Great Fondue of Anti-Fudge
Once used by a minifig, this item melts any fudge and renders the Rule of Fudge useless. This allows the user of the Fondue to get away with anything he wants (but only during the turn which he uses the Fondue), however blasphemous and outrageous. Of course, the sheer power of the Fondue will cause the minifig who used it to combust, and anyone within a 4 inch range will subsequently explode, because for the sake of mayhem, the explosion is to great to be contained to just one minifig.
Well that's just something I thought of that I'd decided to share to see how you guys feel about this idea.

Alessandra Facchinetti's Last(?) Valentino Collection Leaves Press Wanting More
Alessandra Facchinetti's Last(?) Valentino Collection Leaves Press Wanting More
>> The suits at Valentino may want Alessandra Facchinetti out — due to lagging sales — but after her Spring 2009 collection today, which is only her second ready-to-wear outing for the brand, the fashion press didn't seem so ready to see her go.
Facchinetti was brought on to transition the house into younger silhouettes, and WWD thought she "showed real promise" and "knew what she was doing." Suzy Menkes praised Facchinetti for the respect she brought the brand: "Considering that trouble has apparently been simmering at Valentino throughout the summer, Facchinetti did a heroic job." Hilary Alexander, too, seemed disappointed with the quick change-up: "She has barely had time to fully develop her "look" at Valentino and this collection was surely an indication that she can and will, if given time." The official decision about dropping Facchinetti still has to come through, but press opinion aside, it doesn't look good.

LAN Switching and VLANs
From DocWiki
A LAN switch is a device that provides much higher port density at a lower cost than traditional bridges. For this reason, LAN switches can accommodate network designs featuring fewer users per segment, thereby increasing the average available bandwidth per user. This article provides a summary of general LAN switch operation and maps LAN switching to the OSI reference model.
The trend toward fewer users per segment is known as microsegmentation. Micro-segmentation allows the creation of private or dedicated segments-that is, one user per segment. Each user receives instant access to the full bandwidth and does not have to contend for available bandwidth with other users. As a result, collisions (a normal phenomenon in shared-medium networks employing hubs) do not occur, as long as the equipment operates in full-duplex mode. A LAN switch forwards frames based on either the frame's Layer 2 address (Layer 2 LAN switch) or, in some cases, the frame's Layer 3 address (multilayer LAN switch). A LAN switch is also called a frame switch because it forwards Layer 2 frames, whereas an ATM switch forwards cells.
Figure: A LAN Switch Is a Data Link Layer Device illustrates a LAN switch providing dedicated bandwidth to devices and illustrates the relationship of Layer 2 LAN switching to the OSI data link layer.
Figure: A LAN Switch Is a Data Link Layer Device
The earliest LAN switches were developed in 1990. They were Layer 2 devices (bridges) dedicated to solving desktop bandwidth issues. Recent LAN switches evolved to multilayer devices capable of handling protocol issues involved in high-bandwidth applications that historically have been solved by routers. Today, LAN switches are used to replace hubs in the wiring closet because user applications demand greater bandwidth.
LAN Switch Operation
LAN switches are similar to transparent bridges in functions such as learning the topology, forwarding, and filtering. These switches also support several new and unique features, such as dedicated communication between devices through full-duplex operations, multiple simultaneous conversations, and media-rate adaption.
Full-duplex communication between network devices increases file-transfer throughput. Multiple simultaneous conversations can occur by forwarding, or switching, several packets at the same time, thereby increasing network capacity by the number of conversations supported. Full-duplex communication effectively doubles the throughput, while with media-rate adaption, the LAN switch can translate between 10 and 100 Mbps, allowing bandwidth to be allocated as needed.
Deploying LAN switches requires no change to existing hubs, network interface cards (NICs), or cabling.
VLANs Defined
A VLAN is defined as a broadcast domain within a switched network. Broadcast domains describe the extent that a network propagates a broadcast frame generated by a station. Some switches may be configured to support a single or multiple VLANs. Whenever a switch supports multiple VLANs, broadcasts within one VLAN never appear in another VLAN. Switch ports configured as a member of one VLAN belong to a different broadcast domain, as compared to switch ports configured as members of a different VLAN.
Creating VLANs enables administrators to build broadcast domains with fewer users in each broadcast domain. This increases the bandwidth available to users because fewer users will contend for the bandwidth.
Routers also maintain broadcast domain isolation by blocking broadcast frames. Therefore, traffic can pass from one VLAN to another only through a router.
Normally, each subnet belongs to a different VLAN. Therefore, a network with many subnets will probably have many VLANs. Switches and VLANs enable a network administrator to assign users to broadcast domains based upon the user's job need. This provides a high level of deployment flexibility for a network administrator.
Advantages of VLANs include the following:
- Segmentation of broadcast domains to create more bandwidth
- Additional security by isolating users with bridge technologies
- Deployment flexibility based upon job function rather than physical placement
Switch Port Modes
Switch ports run in either access or trunk mode. In access mode, the interface belongs to one and only one VLAN. Normally a switch port in access mode attaches to an end user device or a server. The frames transmitted on an access link look like any other Ethernet frame.
Trunks, on the other hand, multiplex traffic for multiple VLANs over the same physical link. Trunk links usually interconnect switches, as shown in Figure: Switches Interconnected with Trunk Links. However, they may also attach end devices such as servers that have special adapter cards that participate in the multiplexing protocol.
Figure: Switches Interconnected with Trunk Links
Note that some of the devices attach to their switch using access links, while the connections between the switches utilize trunk links.
To multiplex VLAN traffic, special protocols exist that encapsulate or tag (mark) the frames so that the receiving device knows to which VLAN the frame belongs. Trunk protocols are either proprietary or based upon IEEE 802.1Q. For example, a proprietary trunk protocol may be like Cisco's proprietary Inter-Switch Link (ISL), which enables Cisco devices to multiplex VLANs in a manner optimized for Cisco components. Or, an intervendor solution may be implemented, such as 802.1Q, which enables products from more than one vendor to multiplex VLANs on a trunk link.
Without trunk links, multiple access links must be installed to support multiple VLANs between switches. This is not cost-effective and does not scale well, so trunks are preferable for interconnecting switches in most cases.
LAN Switching Forwarding
LAN switches can be characterized by the forwarding method that they support. In the store-and-forward switching method, error checking is performed and erroneous frames are discarded. With the cut-through switching method, latency is reduced by eliminating error checking.
With the store-and-forward switching method, the LAN switch copies the entire frame into its onboard buffers and computes the cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The frame is discarded if it contains a CRC error or if it is a runt (less than 64 bytes, including the CRC) or a giant (more than 1518 bytes, including the CRC). If the frame does not contain any errors, the LAN switch looks up the destination address in its forwarding, or switching, table and determines the outgoing interface. It then forwards the frame toward its destination.
With the cut-through switching method, the LAN switch copies only the destination address (the first 6 bytes following the preamble) into its onboard buffers. It then looks up the destination address in its switching table, determines the outgoing interface, and forwards the frame toward its destination. A cut-through switch provides reduced latency because it begins to forward the frame as soon as it reads the destination address and determines the outgoing interface.
Some switches can be configured to perform cut-through switching on a per-port basis until a user-defined error threshold is reached, when they automatically change to store-and-forward mode. When the error rate falls below the threshold, the port automatically changes back to store-and-forward mode.
LAN switches must use store-and-forward techniques to support multilayer switching. The switch must receive the entire frame before it performs any protocol-layer operations. For this reason, advanced switches that perform Layer 3 switching are store-and-forward devices.
LAN Switching Bandwidth
LAN switches also can be characterized according to the proportion of bandwidth allocated to each port. Symmetric switching provides evenly distributed bandwidth to each port, while asymmetric switching provides unlike, or unequal, bandwidth between some ports.
An asymmetric LAN switch provides switched connections between ports of unlike bandwidths, such as a combination of 10BaseT and 100BaseT. This type of switching is also called 10/100 switching. Asymmetric switching is optimized for client/server traffic flows in which multiple clients simultaneously communicate with a server, requiring more bandwidth dedicated to the server port to prevent a bottleneck at that port.
A symmetric switch provides switched connections between ports with the same bandwidth, such as all 10BaseT or all 100BaseT. Symmetric switching is optimized for a reasonably distributed traffic load, such as in a peer-to-peer desktop environment.
A network manager must evaluate the needed amount of bandwidth for connections between devices to accommodate the data flow of network-based applications when deciding to select an asymmetric or symmetric switch.
LAN Switch and the OSI Model
LAN switches can be categorized according to the OSI layer at which they filter and forward, or switch, frames. These categories are: Layer 2, Layer 2 with Layer 3 features, or multilayer.
A Layer 2 LAN switch is operationally similar to a multiport bridge but has a much higher capacity and supports many new features, such as full-duplex operation. A Layer 2 LAN switch performs switching and filtering based on the OSI data link layer (Layer 2) MAC address. As with bridges, it is completely transparent to network protocols and user applications.
A Layer 2 LAN switch with Layer 3 features can make switching decisions based on more information than just the Layer 2 MAC address. Such a switch might incorporate some Layer 3 traffic-control features, such as broadcast and multicast traffic management, security through access lists, and IP fragmentation.
A multilayer switch makes switching and filtering decisions based on OSI data link layer (Layer 2) and OSI network layer (Layer 3) addresses. This type of switch dynamically decides whether to switch (Layer 2) or route (Layer 3) incoming traffic. A multilayer LAN switch switches within a workgroup and routes between different workgroups.
Layer 3 switching allows data flows to bypass routers. The first frame passes through the router as normal to ensure that all security policies are observed. The switches watch the way that the router treats the frame and then replicate the process for subsequent frames. For example, if a series of FTP frames flows from a 10.0.0.1 to 192.168.1.1, the frames normally pass through a router. Multilayer switching observes how the router changes the Layer 2 and Layer 3 headers and imitates the router for the rest of the frames. This reduces the load on the router and the latency through the network.
Review Questions
Q - A multilayer switch mimics the actions of a router when an initial frame passes through a router. What things does the multilayer switch do to the Layer 2 and Layer 3 headers to thoroughly imitate the router?
A -The switch must modify the source and destination MAC addresses in the Layer 2 header so that the frame appears to come from/to the router/workstation. Furthermore, the switch must change things in the Layer 3 header such as the IP time-to-live value.
Q -A LAN switch most closely resembles what type of internetworking device?
A -A LAN switch behaves like a multiport bridge.
Q -Two trunk protocols were described. For what situation would you use the IEEE 802.1Q mode?
A -Whenever you deploy a hybrid of switches from multiple vendors and need to trunk between them. All other trunk protocols work within specific vendor equipment environments.
Q -Which switching method protects network segment bandwidth from errored frames?
Store-and-forward transmits frames only if the frame's integrity is assured. If the switch receives an errored frame, then the switch discards it.
Q -How does a store-and-forward switch know if a frame is errored?
A -The switch uses the CRC to determine whether any changes occurred to the frame since the source generated it. The switch calculates CRC for the received frame and compares it with the CRC transmitted with the frame. If they differ, the frame changed during transit and will be discarded in a store-and-forward switch.
Q -Do VLAN borders cross routers?
A -No. VLANs are broadcast domains and describe the extent that broadcast frames transit the network. Routers do not pass broadcasts. Therefore, the same VLAN cannot exist on two ports of a router.
Q -How does a trunk link differ from an access link?
A -An access link carries traffic for a single VLAN. The traffic on an access link looks like any other Ethernet frame. A trunk link transports traffic for multiple VLANs across a single physical link. Trunks encapsulate Ethernet frames with other information to support the multiplexing technology employed.
Q -Before switches and VLANs, administrators assigned users to a network based not on the user's needs, but on something else. What determined the user network assignment?
A -Administrators previously assigned users to a network based upon the user's physical proximity to a network device or cable.

Readers often ask, "How do you decide which letters to print?"
It's a good question, but the answer is that it is not so much a decision as a process.
Most every letter makes it in.
It comes down to three things, all of them in the hands of the writers themselves: Did you attach your name and a phone number? Does the letter avoid willfully incorrect or malicious content? Is the letter 350 words or fewer? Do all those things and you're pretty much assured of getting it printed. No elimination is done based on topic or point of view, although we do reserve the right to select from similar letters on a given topic, for space reasons.
In every issue of the Hood River News, the "Our Readers Write" column is a vital part of the community forum.
Hood River News reminds writers that shorter is better. Concise letters are not only better-read; they are more likely to be published because limited space is available.
Almost any point can be made in 350 words or fewer, so this is set as an upper level for length.
Thank-you letters are in nearly every case placed in the Neighbors column.
We do not print unsigned or "Name Withheld by Request" letters, nor those signed with fictitious signatures. Copied letters sent to public officials also are not published.
We limit letters on a subject when we feel it has been thoroughly aired, to the point of letters becoming repetitive.
This is especially the case during campaign seasons.
Also rejected are letters that are libelous, in bad taste or personal attacks on individuals or private businesses. Writers must include addresses and telephone numbers. These are for identification purposes only, and will not be published.
Meanwhile, we're compiling our annual list of all the year's letter writers, for publication in late December; the more the merrier.
