Network Speed Issues
I'm running a small network at home with OBSD4.6 as a gateway/firewall to multiple windows boxes. After upgrading this box from 3.9 to 4.6, I noticed some changes in throughput to said windows boxes. When using programs that create multiple connections (newsreader - 20 connections or Bittorrent) the network seems to max out at 800KB/s. However, if I'm just grabbing one large file from an FTP server, I can get much more than that. If I do a speed test at speedtest.net, I hit about 7.5MB/s from the windows boxes.
If I change my pf rules to pass all, I can hit about 850KB/s, so I don't think it's the pf rules.
My pf.conf and dmesg are below, the main windows box in question is running win7.

Not a BSD solution but something you might check to isolate your problem ..
Some time ago I had an "argument" with my ISP concerning my BW throughput..
and had to "prove it wasn't my equipment"...
One of the steps was to hookup the Windose box directly to my cable modem to "show" the tech that the problem "still existed" and it was NOT my OpenBSD firewall..
I would suggest that you try that..
I used speed tests to check mine and tried to do the tests about the same time every day to
get a "baseline"..
Oh and the ISP gave me 6 months credit on my business account when they finally found out it was "their" problem.. not mine.. My neighbors thanked me for my efforts
The ISP did not listen to them since they are non-technical "residential customers." ....
All posts sent on ReCycled Electrons...
After more investigation, this appears to be on the ISP side. Thanks for the post.

Your answer likely depends on whether you are a mental health professional, a layperson, or a member of the legal profession, where the term can have a highly scripted meaning with weighty implications.
In fact, the Supreme Court of Washington just ruled that the precise definition is so critical that a judge's refusal of a defense request to define it for a jury invalidated a civil detention order. That's because in Washington, a convicted sex offender cannot be civilly committed to a state hospital unless he has either a personality disorder or a "mental abnormality" that makes him more likely than not to commit sexually predatory acts in the future. The legal distinction between these two conditions derives from the DSM's axial system, under which most illnesses are listed on Axis I but personality disorders are categorized as "Axis II," because they are conceptualized (not always accurately) as more chronic and enduring than acute Axis I disorders.
At the trial of Curtis Pouncy, the prosecution-retained psychologist, Richard Packard, had testified that Curtis Pouncy had both conditions. The jury ultimately found Pouncy to be a Sexually Violent Predator (SVP), but it did not state whether this finding was on the basis of a personality disorder, a mental abnormality, or both. Explained the Supreme Court in overturning the commitment:
"The phrase 'personality disorder' is not one in common usage and is beyond the experience of the average juror. It is a term of art under the DSM that requires definition to ensure jurors are not 'forced to find a common denominator among each member's individual understanding' of the term…. We have no way of knowing from the verdict whether the jury found that Pouncy was an SVP because he suffered from a mental abnormality or a personality disorder. And, if the jury agreed Pouncy suffered from a personality disorder, we have no way of knowing what definition the jury used in reaching this conclusion…. We cannot say the failure to instruct on the definition of 'personality disorder' in no way affected the final outcome of the case; accordingly, it was not harmless. A new trial is required."The government of Washington is so interested in the precise meaning of the term that in 2009 it actually codified the definition for purposes of SVP civil commitment. Tagging off of the definition in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), the Revised Code of Washington Section 71.09.020(9) now defines a personality disorder as:
"an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time and leads to distress or impairment. Purported evidence of a personality disorder must be supported by testimony of a licensed forensic psychologist or psychiatrist."As Constance Holden reports in the current edition of Science magazine, "Personality disorders are hard to pin down. They don't have a common defining mood or behavior, people don't get hospitalized for having one, and a drug won't cure one."
If that sounds tricky, wait until the American Psychiatric Association adds layer upon layer of new complexity, and in the process completely scraps the definition as reified by government entities such as the Washington state legislature. Under a draft proposal rolled out last month for the new DSM-5* (due out in 2013), the old personality disorders are barely recognizable and some have disappeared altogether.
- First off, the overarching definition will be new. Now, personality disorders are defined more briefly as:
"the failure to develop a sense of self-identity and the capacity for interpersonal functioning that are adaptive in the context of the individual's cultural norms and expectations."Both self-identity and interpersonal functioning are then further defined. For example, poor interpersonal functioning involves failure to develop empathy, intimacy, cooperativeness, or "complexity and integration of representations of others."
- Next, one rates the person on a set of six traits (negative emotionality, introversion, antagonism, disinhibition, compulsivity, and schizotypy) to determine whether the general adaptive failure is "associated with extreme levels of one or more" of these.
- Finally, there are the specific personality "types," whittled down from the current 10 to only five: Schizotypal, Borderline, Obsessive-Compulsive, Avoidant, and Antisocial/Psychopathic. Note that psychopathy will make its grand debut, while narcissistic exits stage left.
"[I]t is not particularly necessary for the court to determine a specific diagnosis in determining competency.... [E]ither an Axis I or Axis II condition could potentially render a defendant incompetent. And, on the other hand, a defendant could have an Axis I and/or Axis II condition and still be competent."So, what do you get when you combine five personality types with six crosscutting traits? "A camel -- a horse made by committee," psychologist Drew Westen of Emory University told Science magazine.
And in forensic contexts, how will terms such as "culturally adaptive," "empathy," "cooperativeness," "negative emotionality," and "antagonism" be operationalized? Based on research into how forensic evaluators decide about other value-laden constructs such as psychopathy and risk, dare I predict partisan allegiance will rear its ugly head?
Paul A. Siciliano at Basically Law has more on the Pouncy decision. Psychologist Simone Hoermann has commentary on the DSM-5 personality disorders revamp at her Personality Disorders blog.

DSM-5 POSTSCRIPT: Following much brouhaha, the American Psychiatry Association ultimately did not adopt the more radical proposed changes to the personality disorders for the DSM-5, nor did it remove Narcissistic Personality Disorder (much beloved in some psychiatric quarters) as one of the types. However, the entire axial system (i.e., the distinction between Axis I mental disorders versus Axis II personality disorders) was eliminated. Meanwhile, contemporary research is suggesting that personality disorders -- for example Borderline and Antisocial disorders -- are not nearly as enduring or lifelong as the DSM definitions continue to suggest.

How do I found out more about the data?
Information about the data in the NRP can be found in the Explanatory Notes.
A description of statistical terms used in the NRP and other ABS releases can be found in Statistical Language! (cat. no. 1332.0.55.002)
Is there other data available for regions?
The NRP contains a summary of the data from a number of ABS and other collections, but there is usually other data available. For example, much more data from the Census of Population and Housing is available from the Census pages than is released in the NRP. The Explanatory Notes contain links to the most recent releases of data, where you can check for more detailed information for your region.
Is historical data available?
Previous releases of the NRP can be found in the 'Past & Future Releases' tab of any regional profile.
Previous releases of ABS data can be found by following the links in the Explanatory Notes to the data release you are interested in, then looking at the 'Past & Future Releases' tab for that release.
Why are some regions not available?
Some regions do not have a profile, usually because there is insufficient data to put in the profile for them. When there is no data for a region, you can go up one level in the map or list to find a larger region.
Why aren't other types of regions available?
Statistical Local Areas and Local Government Areas are currently the smallest type of region for which a range of data is available. The ABS is looking at ways to include other types of regions in the NRP in future.
Why is some data for my region not available?
Where some data is not in the profile for your region, but is in other regions of the same type, in most cases it is because the data is such small numbers in your region that it has been confidentialised to protect privacy. In these cases the data will appear as 'n.p', meaning 'not published'.
Why are some data items available for selected states only?
Some data items have been obtained from state/territory government agencies to add to the NRP. As this data is collected for administrative purposes, it may not be collected in all states/territories, or may be collected using different definitions which mean that it can't be compared across all states/territories.
What is in the profiles if you choose one region under 'Select a Region'?
When you select a region, the profile for each region contains four web pages and an Excel spreadsheet:
- the web pages contain a summary of data, with the same data items available for every region.
- the Excel spreadsheet contains everything that is in the summary web pages, but in more detail.
There may also be some additional data in the Excel spreadsheets for regions in your state/territory.What is in the data cubes under 'Compare Regions?
When you click on 'Compare Regions', this will take you to a page with two data cubes labelled 'Australia', and a number of data cubes for the states and territories. All of the data cubes are labelled to show if they contain Local Government Areas, or whether they contain Statistical Local Areas (and Statistical Sub Divisions, Statistical Divisions, States/Territories, Australia).
The Australia data cubes hold all the data from the web pages, and all the data from the Excel spreadsheets that can be provided for every region in Australia.
The state/territory data cubes hold additional data for each state/territory, where it is available. These data are provided separately, because the data items often are different between states/territories, and have different definitions, so they can not be compared with each other. There are no data cubes for the Australian Capital Territory.
I don't know the name of my region - how can I find it?
Use the maps to find your region. For help using the maps see How to Select a Region.

Burda Magazine Cape 8-2008 No. 101
Added Nov 16, 2011
Baltimore, Maryl...
I made this wool cape for a vintage themed Tweed Ride (bicycles) in Washington DC. I had the material professionaly fused with interfacing when I was in NY. This acts a bit like underlining, beefing the material up nicely. Because it was already interfaced, I did not need to add any to the collar, collar stand or facing, etc. I drafted a lining pattern from the original cape pattern and made up the lining in hot pink wool challis. I 'bagged' the lining and slip stiched it down around the arm openings. Overall the cape is warmer than you'd think! It's not the most practical cold weather garment, but it's mad stylish :)

It's a weft interfacing throughout. I had it done in NYC. But, if you're patient, could certainly do it at home!

"Ruff's Yard Sale Makes A Racket"
Ruff realizes that he's a horrible shopper. (He just bought a sock at a yard sale for sixteen dollars, after talking the price UP from a quarter!) He also bought a broken tennis racquet at the same sale, which he plans on using in an upcoming match against his nemesis Spot Spotnick! Ruff sends Liza and Talia to the headquarters of Wilson Sporting Goods to design a new tennis racquet for him; and he gets some shopping tips from Bethany and Brian, as they head out to Brimfield Fair, the biggest flea market in the world!.

When you think of Android phones, you think of bloatware. We wish it weren't so, and not every phone comes with, but the majority of Android phones out there come from carriers and are chock full of bloatware. We've complained about it, and found ways to remove it, but what exactly is it?
Most folks consider any applications that your carrier (or the folks who built your phone) pre-installed to the system as bloatware. Usually, these applications are a front end to some service or content that you'll have to pay for, and usually it's something you would never download and use on your own. All the carriers, and all the manufacturers, are guilty of including it, and we tend to hate it all equally. When you open the app drawer on your new phone, and see City ID staring back at you, just waiting for you to click it, you can't help but hate it.
But why is it there? It's one down side of Android's open nature. Google gives Android away to anyone and everyone, but realistically only a very few companies can afford to make cell phones. And they don't make them with you and me in mind as their customer. HTC, or Samsung, or LG (you get the picture) makes Android phones for the carriers. They work out deals to decide hardware and software they want to include, and part of those deals are these "value-added applications" we lovingly call bloatware. Verizon and HTC love you, but they still want you to click the app and send in the money. Because Google isn't involved and doesn't make any rules about it, they can include any app they like in your new phone. Nobody likes it, but it is the side effect of being open.
Thankfully, Ice Cream Sandwich brings along the ability to disable (most of) these apps without rooting or tinkering with the system files on your Android device, and that provides the best solution we can think of. Certainly there are some people who found a use for City ID or VZ Navigator, and they should have the opportunity to use those apps if they like. And we can disable and hide them, and forget they exist.

Gypsy music may be the forgotten party music.
When American musicians raised on rock stumbled upon traditional Gypsy music and started composing their own take on it, the sound they created was a mesh of traditional Eastern European sounds played with some good old aggression. While some may favor bluegrass, electronic DJ music or God forbid rock n roll, as the sound to listen to, Gypsy often gets the castoff.
Thats a shame. Thanks to bands like Gogol Bordello, Balkan Beat Box or other bands with Eastern European members and influences, Gypsy music has taken hold. Its bass lines, stomping rhythms behind a fast-paced violin and call-and-response lyrics are ripe for inciting drinking and rowdy behavior everywhere. Durangos own Gypsy band Carute Roma will celebrate the release of their debut CD Gadjo Caravan this evening with a free show at the Lost Dog.
The band is Michael Rendon on violin and vocals, David Sachs on drums, Brian Arens on guitar and vocals, Nicole Mosher on trumpet, Alexi Carey on bass, Robert Aspen on accordion and vocals, Hannah Burnett on violin and Brian Lock on mandolin.
Carute Roma has been together in Durango and outlying areas for the last nine years, but being a band has never been at the forefront of anyones activities. Every member has a full-time job, from teaching to nonprofit work, so their output and live performances have been busy or spotty. That hasnt mattered. Theyre Gypsies, after all. Theirs is a friendship before business.
The people in the band are some of my favorite people in Durango. Thats partly why we stay together, said Rendon last week from the office of his real job. Everybody really likes each other, and what were doing is totally unique and its kind of cool.
Gypsy bands like Carute Romas place in the world of music is often as the house-band for weddings. Thats where Carute Roma plays most of its shows, and the up-beat nature of the music is a natural fit.
In Romania and Eastern Europe, the Gypsy musicians make their money playing weddings. Its known as rowdy music, and its funny because we mostly play weddings here, Rendon said. We kind of like it that way, it feels like we are connecting with the musicians over there.
Sitting down with Rendon to talk Gypsy music is like sitting down for a lesson in Romanian and Eastern European culture, something many Americans could use. In an specially fabulous episode of The Andy Griffith Show, a rag-tag group of Gypsies led by Jamie Farr rolls into Mayberry to sell junk to the rubes of the town, eventually jinxing the town and its residents. That stereotype may be unfortunately universal, but Rendon thinks one benefit of playing in a Gypsy band is hes given the opportunity to dispel such negativity.
It gives us a chance to educate people on the Roma culture. The word Gypsy is a negative term they call themselves Roma Rendon said. Whats neat about the band, too, is weve gotten into the culture.

benos needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 66 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
Shore Plumbing
I have recently set up my own plumbing business & require a unique logo to enhance sales & catch the attention of potential & existing customers.
As a bondi beach local I came up with the name as I love the water.
I would like to see the use of a wave but an open to looking at all designs ideas.
This logo is to be used for all advertising material inc shirts/vehicle & stationery. I want to introduce a brand to my existing clientelle & get the attention of new customers. Customers are from all walks of life so a simple yet effective logo is ideal.
I want a graphic symbol (such as the curl of a wave with circle around it) or something relating to water is the direction I dont want to see typical icons such as drops or a tap.
See reference for:-
The logo needs to be fresh & have energy such as a surf label would be, yet still be clear enough to translate to all ages, so the Shore Plumbing should written clearly. I would to eventually be able to use the logo on its own such as Nike.
Colours are to be relating to water, light blue, dark blue, torquoise/white. However again open to option on colour.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. will hit the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling in mid-October, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said in a letter urging Congress to raise the limit "as soon as possible."
"Extraordinary measures are projected to be exhausted in the middle of October," Lew said in the letter on Monday to House Speaker John Boehner and other lawmakers.
"At that point, the United States will have reached the limit of its borrowing authority, and Treasury would be left to fund the government with only the cash we have on hand on any given day," he said. The cash balance at that time is forecast to be about $50 billion, "insufficient to cover net expenditures for an extended period of time," according to Lew.
The Treasury Department had earlier said it probably will be able to finance government operations by using special accounting measures until after Congress returns Sept. 9 from its recess. Lew said Aug. 22 a failure by Congress to raise the debt limit would "have disastrous effects for our nation" and could put at risk payments to Social Security recipients and veterans.
"Congress should act as soon as possible to protect America's good credit by extending normal borrowing authority well before any risk of default becomes imminent," Lew said in the letter.
Boehner said last month Republicans wouldn't increase the debt ceiling "without real cuts in spending" that would achieve a further reduction in the deficit. Lew has said the Obama administration won't negotiate on the debt limit.
The Bipartisan Policy Center, a nonprofit research group, has estimated that the U.S. will reach the point where it is unable to pay its bills sometime between mid-October and mid- November unless Congress increases the limit.
"Protecting the full faith and credit of the United States is the responsibility of Congress because only Congress can extend the nation's borrowing authority," Lew said in the letter. "Failure to meet that responsibility would cause irreparable harm to the American economy."
Lew also said it's not possible to estimate "with any precision" the exact date the Treasury will run out of cash if Congress doesn't extend the debt limit.
"With just nine legislative days currently scheduled in September, Republicans must return to Congress prepared to move beyond the kind of brinksmanship that undermined our economic recovery two years ago," Rep. Sander Levin, a Michigan Democrat and ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said in a statement on Monday.
In August 2011, Congress agreed after months of haggling to increase the debt limit on the day the government's ability to borrow was to run out.
Standard & Poor's, which downgraded the U.S. one step to AA+ three days later, changed its outlook in June of this year to "stable" from "negative."
Though the 2011 downgrade by S&P, the world's largest credit rater, contributed to a global stock-market slump, U.S. government debt lost none of its attraction for investors. Yields on Treasury securities dropped to record lows rather than going higher after the downgrade. Yields on 10-year Treasury notes dropped 0.74 percentage point in the seven weeks following the downgrade to a then-record 1.67 percent.
The U.S. 10-year yield fell three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.79 percent at 4:18 p.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices.

Having seen Episode 125 and re-checking the related manga chapters, Hichigo told Ichigo:
"If you really want to control my power, you'd have to be careful, and make sure to stay alive until I come back / until we meet again".
With this quote, could this probably mean that in Ichigo's current situation in the manga, since he "survived" Ulquiorra, i.e. he "stayed alive", Hichigo will "come back" as he promised and a new "internal battle" will commence for Ichigo to gain "more control" of Hichigo? Could this be the next "power-up" we will see?

In the first manga chapter Ichigo asks his father why the samurai dressed person (refering to Rukia) got in the house so easily. Isshin said he didn't see anyone and didn't know what Ichigo was talking about. But later in the series we find out Isshin was actually a Shinigami. So was he just pretending when he said he couldn't see her or what?

That is kubo trying to create another character through the use of retconning. The "official" explanation is that he had his powers sealed and couldnt see hollows or shinigami. The unofficial explanation is that at the beginning of the manga he had no intention on making Isshin an ex-captain.

In MIR if you do remember his last diaglogues pretty much indicate he has some idea but Isshin isnt 100 % sure . If he did sense hollow/shinigamis then he would have come to the rescue of Karin and Yuzu during MIR/GF Arc .
The spoilers well

Well.... its this question again.... basically: rukia had the hogyouku in her before everything happened, before she got the gigai. Urahara did not hide it in the real world specifically. Maybe he knew that rukia would go to the real world, but thats unrelated. Anyway, the gigai was to destroy rukia's shinigami powers so the hogyouku would be destroyed completely. Under normal conditions, noone sends vice captain/captain class people to get a normal shinigami like rukia. Basically, it would have been pretty much safe. Aizen was an accident.

As stated many times he hid it in rukia BEFORE he left SS over 100 years ago when she was a kid living in the second worst area of SS. Azein found out it was hidden in her but she had disapeered on earth thanks to the power draining body that Urahara gave her, so he had the order for her arest and exicution placed.
As for if Ishin could see Rukia or not in the first chapter, I pesonaly belive that he could, he showed up in Ichigo's room seconds after she did and Urahara showed up rather quickly as well. The only things we know for sure is that he has not been able to go in to shinigami mode for about 20 years. he a captain's level of control over his powers. Rukia didn't seem to have any problems seeing spirits when she was near powerless in a veriation of the same type of body that Ishin was in. But reguardless even if he could not see her he had to have known about her by the grave vist and had reagianed his powers by the SS arc..

I'll need to relook up the information but destroyed might be the wrong term, lost forever or permently bonded to her soul seems to be better,either way it would render it useless to Azein.

The Bounto arc (which you call filler) runs from episode 64 to the beginning of episode 109. It is worth time to watch as their quality is generally higher than Naruto's filler and they have a single continuous story line.
They are slightly related to the rest of the story.

Dear faculty, staff and students:
My colleagues on the Presidential Search Committee and I are grateful to have met many of you on campus during two busy weeks of community input sessions. In all, the Presidential Search Committee hosted 10 sessions – on-campus conversations with faculty, staff, students, the University Leadership Council, University Academic Senate, Faculty Council, the Jesuit community and emeriti trustees, as well as two via phone with the Marquette University Alumni Association National Board and Parents Council.
More than 285 people attended a community input session to share their perspectives on the characteristics and qualifications that Marquette's 24th president should embody. In addition, 850 people shared feedback via the online form. More than 1,130 people have shared their feedback to date, which is more than twice as many as the last search. Thank you to all who participated in the process.
The committee is now using your feedback to write a Presidential Position Description. Based on your input, it will highlight key opportunities and challenges for our 24th President. We will present and discuss the Presidential Position Description with the Board of Trustees at the December meeting. Following approval, it will be shared with the campus and alumni community and posted to the Presidential Search website, which has been updated with a detailed timeline.
The Search Committee – aided by national executive search firm Witt/Kieffer will use the Presidential Position Description to recruit qualified Jesuit and layperson candidates to develop the strongest applicant pool possible. Semifinalist and finalist interviews will take place this spring, working toward our goal to have a president in place for the next academic year.
Our promise is to keep you informed throughout the process, through email and the Presidential Search website. The level of energy and commitment the Marquette community has shown is touching to see. Many of you have reached out to offer your prayers and advice for the Search Committee; it's that sort of personal engagement that makes Marquette such a unique institution one that holds a special place in all of our hearts.
We are Marquette,
John F. Ferraro, Bus Ad '77
Chair, Presidential Search Committee
Vice Chair, Marquette University Board of Trustees

Philip Schwalb, CEO and Co-Founder of the SPORTS museum of AMERICA, the Heisman Trophy's new home in Lower Manhattan, could not be more pleased. Schwalb speaks with great admiration for the manner with which Tebow, the first sophomore ever to win, very clearly delineated his life priorities in accepting the award last December. "He's exemplary in that regard," recalled Schwalb, pointing out that Tebow actually named Football fourth among his priorities – after Faith, Family, and Academics. All of which is now a matter of public record in the breathtakingly impressive Heisman Gallery on the museum's second floor.
OKLAHOMA's Bradford, the second sophomore to win the Heisman, spoke movingly about his parents in his acceptance speech this December 13th. "From a young age they pushed me, they pushed me for greatness." Schwalb, too, recalls his own father planting some similar seeds in his mind when he introduced him to the inspirational axiom about Persistence. "You've probably seen it in a lot of places, but it's very powerful – this idea that nothing in this world can take the place of persistence." ["Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts."] "Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." Persistence. Resilience. Determination. Tenacity. In fact, given how central such lofty values, character issues, and life lessons are to the mission of the SmA, the first and only national sports museum of its kind, it's no wonder the Heisman is one of the cornerstones of the organization.
The Heisman Trophy, you may recall, was formerly housed in the Downtown Athletic Club, which suffered catastrophic damage on 9/11. For years, both the Trophy and the ceremony were homeless, nomads left to wander from venue to venue. The SmA had actually extended an invitation several years ago, but were previously turned down. You want to talk about "Persistence," though? Buttonhole the avuncular Schwalb when you get the opportunity, and he will very likely let you in on how some of his own persistence helped the powers that be at the Heisman Trust see the validity of having the SmA house their trophy, heralding it as one of the crown jewels in all sports, as opposed to it simply having its own museum. In that regard, we might consider the Heisman Gallery, and the annual fanfare attendant to same, Schwalb's trophy in some ways, a validation for his tenacity in seeking to establish a venue that might serve as a haven for the sport's history, tradition, and prestige. "It's important to us, in that we try to celebrate the finer things in sports here."
As PSL's and ticket prices go sky high, and broadcasts get started later and later, etc., there's an oft-forgotten demographic in our sports equation, namely our kids – especially the youngest of them. Psychologists (and teachers) will be the first to tell you that kids tend to look for role models not so much in adults, but in older kids, somewhat larger versions of themselves. An opportunity for college athletes like Bradford and Tebow to help fill the void.
"We live in a time when pro athletes have let children down as role models quite often," points out Schwalb. "And fans, too… whether via steroids, or other performance enhancing drugs… even things like the recent Plaxico Burress incident."
There's an exhibit at the SmA called The "Dream Big" Gallery. In fact, it's one of the first things you see upon entering. Artifacts from the life of the young Derek Jeter, the young Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Billie Jean King. It's the perfect introduction to what is, in essence, a teaching museum – not so much an homage to winning and individual accomplishment, but rather the why's and wherefore's of the sports themselves, an exploration of what the intangibles might be that compel the best of us to compete, and at the highest of levels. Take a moment to reflect on what young men like Tebow and Bradford hold in their hearts these days, and what you've got is the walking, talking embodiment of the "Dream Big" gallery.
And that's probably Schwalb's favorite thing about it all. "It's not just that the Trophy is here, but that this is where the conversation begins."
Of course, Heisman winners Bradford and Tebow will be holding something very different in their hearts come January 8th, when Florida and Oklahoma square off against each other in Miami in the BCS National Title game. But count on them to demonstrate some exemplary graciousness and sportsmanship towards one another – to the benefit not just of their alma maters, but to the game in general. And all on national television. That we actually get to have them around beyond January 8th is an added blessing. And that we've finally got a national museum to help celebrate young men like this, and all that they stand for – well, that's a blessing, too.

WENHAM, Mass. - The visiting Engineers (2-1) worked themselves out of three early three-goal deficits to defeat Gordon College (3-2) 15-10 on Tuesday. MIT was able to overcome a six goal effort by freshman Annie Cameron of the Fighting Scotts, thanks in large part to senior co-captain Deanna Lentz, who also tallied six goals and added four assists. For Lentz, it was the second straight game that she tied the school-record for points in a game (10).
It was all Annie Cameron to begin Tuesday's non-conference game at Gordon College. She opened up the scoring just 44 seconds into the game and then capitalized on two free position attempts to give Gordon a 3-0 lead just over five minutes into the game. Finally at 7:10, senior Randee Miller got MIT on the board, but the Fighting Scotts' freshman Dani Zorn answered at 9:05. The two teams then exchanged goals, and Gordon remained ahead by three with 11 minutes gone in the half. Already with a goal in the game, Deanna Lentz gave MIT a much needed spark moments later.
At 11:24, Lentz scored unassisted, beginning a 6-0 scoring run that would extend through the end of the first half. During the 19 minute span, Lentz recorded three goals and an assist and sophomore Laura Watson scored twice, including a goal at 29:47 to give MIT an 8-5 lead at the half.
In need of a shift of momentum, the Fighting Scotts came out determined to score the first goal and did so at 2:51. Cameron found senior tri-captain Kim Otsuji to cut the Engineers lead to 8-6. But MIT was not about to let the lead slip away. Just 21 seconds later, junior Mary Harding tallied her second goal of the game on a feed from Lentz. Sophomore Mary Snell again helped Gordon pull within two goals with a score at 4:41 but that was as close as the Fighting Scotts would get.
Harding, Lentz and Watson each scored over the next five minutes to extend MIT's lead to 12-7 with 20 minutes to play. Annie Cameron would add two more goals and finished with six scores and an assist in the game, but MIT's Lentz added another goal and an assist before time ran out to help the Engineers to a 15-10 victory.
With six goals and four assists on Tuesday, Lentz now has 11 goals and nine assists in the last two games. She has recorded 10 points in consecutive games for the first time in MIT history. Gordon freshman goalie Chyanne Wilson (3-2) made eight saves in the loss, while junior keeper Hee Jay Kang (2-1) stopped eight of 18 shots to lead the Engineers to victory.
MIT will look to build on their current two-game winning streak when they travel to Springfield, Mass. to battle Springfield College (1-2) on Saturday, March 26. The contest will begin at 10 a.m.

Musicians Realizing They Don't Need Major Labels Anymore
from the hello,-kickstarter dept
Now, perhaps some will complain that she is now beholden to her fans, but that seems a lot better than being beholden to a multinational conglomerate who claims all ownership and control of your work. Others, quite reasonably, will point out that she built up some of this following by being on two prime time network national TV shows. That's absolutely true. No one is saying that the trick to being a successful musician today is to just go on reality TV. But the point is that if you can build up a following -- in any way possible -- the need for a record label diminishes. And there are more and more and more ways to build up that audience today. If the labels aren't worried about these alternatives, they're not paying very much attention.

Eight short very useful melodies / audio logo sounds for logo appearance.
I didn't compress them to mp3 to keep the best quality possible. All in stereo and mastered which means they are ready to go. They named 105_number that indicate the tempo in BPM. On request I can send them recorded in different tempo. Also – if you need them to change them (i. e. amount of notes for synchronization) just drop me a message.
You can find here a quite wide range of sounds.
Combination of filtered pads with gentle bells. Some of them based on some very melodic arpeggios.
Another one remind a bit a drops of watter in deep cave with long, clean and crisp reverbation.
You can also find short analogue sounds on the top of deep spacey analog pads.
One interesting have nice reversed sounds of … I don't even know how to name it, but listen – you will love it too.
Most of them have nice accent note at the end to make it very usefull for idents and logos.
Make sure you check my music – it may inspire you …

Creative Handmade Valentines
Remember Valentine's Day when you were a kid? At my school we brought in shoeboxes we had decorated, then circled the room, each depositing our Valentines into them. The best ones involved candy (and still do) and kids would select their messages carefully — cartoon themed proclamations of friendship, admiration and childhood crushes.
While we left the decoupaged shoeboxes in childhood, handmade Valentines are still the best. Whether the card is dedicated to a friend or a lover, creating your own is the best way to say, "Hey, I think you're really awesome."
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
