Update: 3/8/13
Annie George was found guilty of knowingly keeping her housekeeper, Valsamma Mathai, in the U.S. illegally.
George had originally denied knowing that Mathai, who is from India, did not have the necessary documents to live and work in the U.S.
George faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when she is sentence on July 9.
Original story
Imagine living in a house like this but having to sleep in a closet.
That's what a housekeeper working in this 30,000sq-foot mansion told New York state authorities.
The maid, who was identified in court documents as 'V.M', told authorities that Annie George brought her from India to take care of her six children in this multi-million dollar upstate NY mansion.
She claims that George, who was married to real-estate mogul Mathai George until his death in 2009, forced her to work 17 hours a day, without taking sick days or personal days from October 2005 until April 27, 2011, which is when she was removed from the home by the authorities.
The maid said while living in the home she was not allowed to sleep on a bed in any of the 10 bedrooms. She said her bed was a space in one of the children's walk-in closets because George wanted her to be close to the children in case they woke in the middle of the night.
The illegal immigrant said when George, who is also Indian, asked her to come to the US to work for her she agreed to do so with the promise that she would get a weekly salary of $1,000 in exchange for taking care of the 34-room home, which sits on 12 acre in Rexford, Saratoga County. She said in the six years that she worked on the estate she was only paid $29,000.
It is alleged that during an investigation, George called one of 'V.M's' sons in India three times suggesting that he "tells his mother to tell authorities that she was a relatives" who was staying with her.
Court documents say the maid's son recorded one of the conversations with George saying "if she says anything about working, it would become a big crime. They'll start adding up all the taxes and everything, for all the time."
In the federal criminal complaint which was filed against 39-year-old George, it says that George tried to hide the woman in the basement of the home when federal Homeland Security agents went to the mansion.
George is facing charges of encouraging and inducing an illegal alien to reside in the U.S.
The mega-mansion is now on the market for $30 million

Andy Greenberg, Forbes Staff
Covering the worlds of data security, privacy and hacker culture.
The security of high-end handcuffs depends on a detainee not having access to certain small, precisely-shaped objects. In the age of easy 3D printing and other DIY innovations, that assumption may no longer apply.
In a workshop Friday at the Hackers On Planet Earth conference in New York, a German hacker and security consultant who goes by the name "Ray" demonstrated a looming problem for handcuff makers hoping to restrict the distribution of the keys that open their cuffs: With plastic copies he cheaply produced with a laser-cutter and a 3D printer, he was able to open handcuffs built by the German firm Bonowi and the English manufacturer Chubb, both of which attempt to control the distribution of their keys to keep them exclusively in the hands of authorized buyers such as law enforcement.
The demonstration highlights a unique problem for handcuff makers, who design their cuffs to be opened by standard keys possessed by every police officer in a department, so that a suspect can be locked up by one officer and released by another, says Ray. Unlike other locks with unique keys, any copy of a standard key will open a certain manufacturer's cuff. "Police need to know that every new handcuff they buy has a key that can be reproduced," he says. "Until every handcuff has a different key, they can be copied."
Unlike keys for more common handcuffs, which can be purchased (even in forms specifically designed to be concealable) from practically any survivalist or police surplus store, Bonowi's and Chubb's keys can't be acquired from commercial vendors. Ray says he bought a Chubb key from eBay, where he says they intermittently appear, and obtained the rarer Bonowi key through a source he declined to name. Then he precisely measured them with calipers and created CAD models, which he used to reproduce the keys en masse, both in plexiglass with a friend's standard laser cutter and in ABS plastic with a Repman 3D printer. Both types of tools can be found in hacker spaces around the U.S. and, in the case of 3D printers, thousands of consumers' homes.
Over the weekend, a lockpick vendor at the HOPE conference was already selling dozens of the plexiglass Chubb keys for a mere $4 each. Ray says he plans to upload the CAD files for the Chubb key to the 3D-printing Web platform Thingiverse after the annual lockpicking conference LockCon later this week.
I reached out to both Chubb and Bonowi's parent company Assa Abloy over the weekend, and will update this story when I hear back from them.
Ray also tried creating duplicate plexiglass key for high-security handcuffs from the German manufacturer Clejuso, but found that when the cuffs were fully secured the plexiglass wasn't strong enough to overcome their internal springs. An attendee at the workshop helpfully suggested he try laser-cutting the stronger material Lexan instead.
Ray, who typically works as a computer security consultant but has also advised the German police on handcuff technology, says his goal isn't to reduce handcuffs' security so much as to exposing their vulnerabilities. His tools, he argues, are already available to criminals along with the rest of the public. "If someone is planning a prison or court escape, he can do it without our help," says Ray. "We're just making everyone aware, both the hackers and the police."
unbelievable what they can do these days!

It's also unbelieveable that you could do the exact same thing 10-20-50 years ago with a $1 metal file and a piece of scrap metal, yet only now the media is taking notice, and blaming 3D printers and laser cutters, and the people using them.
Producing duplicate keys for handcuffs has never been difficult. In fact it has always been trivially easy. What has been difficult is getting the blueprints so you don't have to have the actual key.
just as Kathleen answered I'm amazed that any body able to earn $7887 in 4 weeks on the computer. did you look at this webpage(Click on menu Home more information) http://goo.gl/l2uow
Not handcuffs in particular, but the problem of crackers 1-uping law enforcement is just going to increase as technology becomes more and more prevalent.
This is mind blowing, and humanity has created all these tools and we all think we are all that safe and secured in the real world, well and unethical hackers and dangerous intruders are now using internet and causing a lot more damage to humanity also.
This is not an example of damage, this is an example of a private citizen trying to raise awareness about this gaping flaw in our security system in regards to humans. As stated in the article, his original foray he tried to take it to the police directly, but they we're less the interested, so how else is he suppose to expose this?
Better to raise awareness now than later. 3D printing is gaining traction, and while it's not huge and everywhere, like normal consumer level 2D ink printers, it easily has that potential. And when it's everywhere, it's going to be everyday unethical humans causing damage to humans, not specialized individuals.
And nothing is truly safe and secure. To not know, study, and understand fallacies of your tools are a real danger.

And nothing is truly safe and secure. To not know, study, and understand fallacies of your tools are a (if not "the") real danger.
Which is why you see (in the USA) a lot of department double cuffing, and or "black boxing" the cuffs with a steel box around the area where the key fits.
People in the United States don't double cuff because of this. 3D printing cuff keys isn't a common thing. The article is just describing what could be an issue in the future. There aren't any reports out there about significant numbers of people skirting cuffs and escaping because of these plastic keys. >.>
Problem, meet solution…
Why doesn't LE just use the cheap, disposable, heavy duty plastic zip tie type all the time. Then all officers would need to carry is a good pair of plier type nippers/cutters?
Furthermore, if someone has been bleeding all over the metal type handcuffs while in custody, there is a problem of blood pathogens infecting the officer or the next person who is arrested and has an open cut or two if the handcuffs are not cleaned and disinfected thoroughly.
Anyone have a better idea that is already in use, cheap, effective, no keys needed, etc… ? Sure, we could invent some new product that does the same thing and cost a bazillion dollars for all LE to start using, but why, when the solution is staring us in the face?

Ariel Nickell Garners NAIA All-American Honors
Posted by lstepp March 21, 2012
The awards continue to pour in for the Alice Lloyd College Lady Eagles' sophomore sensation Ariel Nickell as she has recently been named by the NAIA as a Second Team All-American. On the season, the 5'9 forward from Tazewell, TN, led the Eagles to a third place KIAC Conference finish. In thirty-two games played, she averaged 22.46 points per game. This was good enough for 4th nationally. In addition, she was 3rd in the nation in total points scored (719). Nickell was far from a one dimensional player, however. In rebounding, she ranked 5th nationally in defensive rebounds per game (7.6), 11th nationally in total rebounds (304), and 15th nationally in rebounds averaged per game (9.5). For good measure, she was 18th in total steals with 80, and 25th in steals per game (2.5). Her 18 blocks led her club, as well.

The Bengali people (Bengali: বাঙালি Bangali, Bengali: বাঙালি জাতি Bangali jati) are the principal ethnic group native to the region of Bengal, which is politically divided between Bangladesh and India. The Bengali language (বাংলা Bangla) is associated with the Bengali people as the predominant native tongue. They are mostly concentrated in Bangladesh and the states of West Bengal and Tripura in India. There are also a number of Bengali communities scattered across North-East India, New Delhi, and the Indian states of Assam, Jharkhand, Bihar, Maharastra, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Orissa. A huge Bengali community also resides in Pakistan.[6] In addition, there are significant Bengali communities beyond South Asia; some of the most well established Bengali communities are in the United Kingdom and United States. Large numbers of Bengalis have settled in Britain, mainly living in the East boroughs of London, numbering from around 300,000;[22] in the USA there are about 150,000 living across the country, mainly in New York.[23] There are also millions living across the Gulf States, majority of whom are living as foreign workers. There are also many Bengalis in Malaysia, South Korea, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and many other countries.
Ancient history[edit]
Remnants of civilisation in the greater Bengal region date back 4,000 years,[24][25] when the region was settled by Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman and Austroasiatic peoples. The origin of the word Bangla ~ Bengal is unknown, though it is believed to be derived from the Dravidian-speaking tribe Bang that settled in the area around the year 1000 BCE.[26]
After the arrival of Indo-Aryans, the kingdoms of Anga, Vanga and Magadha were formed in and around Bengal and were first described in the Atharvaveda around 1000 BCE. From the 6th century BCE, Magadha expanded to include most of the Bihar and Bengal regions. It was one of the four main kingdoms of India at the time of Buddha and was one of the sixteen Mahajanapadas. Under the Maurya Empire founded by Chandragupta Maurya, Magadha extended over nearly all of South Asia, including parts of Persia and Afghanistan, reaching its greatest extent under the Buddhist emperor Ashoka the Great in the 3rd century BCE. One of the earliest foreign references to Bengal is the mention of a land ruled by the king Xandrammes named Gangaridai by the Greeks around 100 BCE. The word is speculated to have come from Gangahrd (Land with the Ganges in its heart) in reference to an area in Bengal.[27] Later from the 3rd to the 6th centuries CE, the kingdom of Magadha served as the seat of the Gupta Empire.
Middle Ages[edit]
One of the first recorded independent king of Bengal was Shashanka, reigning around the early 7th century.[28] After a period of anarchy, Gopala came to power in 750 by democratic election.[29] He founded the Bengali Buddhist Pala Empire which ruled the region for four hundred years, and expanded across much of Southern Asia, from Assam in the northeast, to Kabul in the west, to Andhra Pradesh in the south. Atisha was a renowned Bengali Buddhist teacher who was instrumental in revival of Buddhism in Tibet and also held the position of Abbot at the Vikramshila university. Tilopa was also from Bengal region.
The Pala dynasty was later followed by a shorter reign of the Hindu Sena Empire. Islam was introduced to Bengal in the twelfth century by Sufi missionaries. Subsequent Muslim conquests helped spread Islam throughout the region.[30] Bakhtiar Khilji, an Afghan general of the Slave dynasty of Delhi Sultanate, defeated Lakshman Sen of the Sena dynasty and conquered large parts of Bengal. Consequently, the region was ruled by dynasties of sultans and feudal lords under the Delhi Sultanate for the next few hundred years. Islam was introduced to the Sylhet region by the Muslim saint Shah Jalal in the early 14th century. In the early 17th century, Mughal general Islam Khan conquered Bengal. However, administration by governors appointed by the court of the Mughal Empire gave way to semi-independence of the area under the Nawabs of Murshidabad, who nominally respected the sovereignty of the Mughals in Delhi. After the weakening of the Mughal Empire with the death of Emperor Aurangzeb in 1707, Bengal was ruled independently by the Nawabs until 1757, when the region was annexed by the East India Company after the Battle of Plassey.
Bengal Renaissance[edit]
The Bengal Renaissance refers to a social reform movement during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the region of Bengal in undivided India during the period of British rule. The Bengal renaissance can be said to have started with reformer and humanitarian Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1775–1833), considered the "Father of the Bengal Renaissance", and ended with Asia's first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941), although there have been many stalwarts thereafter embodying particular aspects of the unique intellectual and creative output.[31] Nineteenth century Bengal was a unique blend of religious and social reformers, scholars, literary giants, journalists, patriotic orators and scientists, all merging to form the image of a renaissance, and marked the transition from the 'medieval' to the 'modern'.[32]
Other figures have been considered to be part of the Renaissance. Swami Vivekananda is considered a key figure in the introduction of Vedanta and Yoga in Europe and America[33] and is credited with raising interfaith awareness, bringing Hinduism to the status of a world religion during the 1800s.[34] Jagadish Chandra Bose was a Bengali polymath: a physicist, biologist, botanist, archaeologist, and writer of science fiction[35] who pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, made significant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent.[36] He is considered one of the fathers of radio science,[37] and is also considered the father of Bengali science fiction. Rai Bahadur Sarada Prasanna Das was an Eminent prof. in Pure and Mixed Mathematics and also in Astronomy, he was the H.O.D of Presidency College in Calcutta and also I.E.S. Satyendra Nath Bose was a Bengali physicist, specializing in mathematical physics. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, providing the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate. He is honoured as the namesake of the boson. Structural Engineer Fazlur Rahman Khan designed the Sears Tower in USA. He has been called the "Einstein of structural engineering" and the greatest structural engineer of the 20th century for his innovative use of structural systems that remain fundamental to modern skyscraper construction.
Independence movement[edit]
Bengal played a major role in the Indian independence movement, in which revolutionary groups such as Anushilan Samiti and Jugantar were dominant. Bengalis also played a notable role in the Indian independence movement. Many of the early proponents of the freedom struggle, and subsequent leaders in movement were Bengalis such as Chittaranjan Das, Khwaja Salimullah, Surendranath Banerjea, Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Titumir (Sayyid Mir Nisar Ali), Prafulla Chaki, A. K. Fazlul Huq, Maulana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani, Bagha Jatin, Khudiram Bose, Surya Sen, Binoy-Badal-Dinesh, Sarojini Naidu, Aurobindo Ghosh, Rashbehari Bose.
Some of these leaders, such as Netaji, did not subscribe to the view that non-violent civil disobedience was the best way to achieve Indian Independence, and were instrumental in armed resistance against the British force. Netaji was the co-founder and leader of the Indian National Army (distinct from the army of British India) that challenged British forces in several parts of India. He was also the head of state of a parallel regime, the Arzi Hukumat-e-Azad Hind, that was recognized and supported by the Axis powers. Bengal was also the fostering ground for several prominent revolutionary organisations, the most notable of which was Anushilan Samiti. A large number of Bengalis were martyred in the freedom struggle and many were exiled in Cellular Jail, the much dreaded prison located in Andaman.

Two major religions practiced in Bengal are Islam and Hinduism. In Bangladesh 88.3% of the population follow Islam (US State Department est. 2007) while 9.6% follow Hinduism. In West Bengal, Hindus are the majority with 72% of the population while Muslims comprise 25.2%. Other religious groups include Buddhists and Christians.[21]
Noted Bengali saints, authors, scientists, researchers, thinkers, music composers, painters and film-makers have played a significant role in the development of Bengali culture . The Bengal Renaissance of the 19th and early 20th centuries was brought about after the British introduced Western education and ideas. Among the various Indian cultures, the Bengalis were relatively quick to adapt to the British rule and actually used its principles (such as the judiciary and the legislature) in the subsequent political struggle for independence. The Bengal Renaissance contained the seeds of a nascent political Indian nationalism and was the precursor in many ways to modern Indian artistic and cultural expression.
The Bengali poet and novelist, Rabindranath Tagore, became the first Nobel laureate from Asia when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature.

NORMAN — The cause of death of 23-month-old Kiyla Rose Hosler was determined Wednesday by the State Medical Examiner's Office to be homicide.
Chief Administrative Officer Amy Elliott said the cause was blunt force trauma to the head.
Jeremy Robert Howard, 25, is facing a first-degree murder charge.
He was determined to be Hosler's sole caretaker. He was arrested and booked into Cleveland County Detention Center on April 12.
Investigators said the girl sustained a variety of injuries while under Howard's care. It is believed that Howard is in a relationship with Hosler's mother, Amanda Hosler. Court records show Howard and Amanda residing at the same address.
"What this man has done is wrong on so many levels," Amanda Hosler said. "She was not abused nor in an abusive home at all. I want to help other families that have to face anything close to this."
Amanda said her little girl was "amazing and could brighten anyone's day."
Officers responded to a report of an unresponsive child at 1917 Twisted Oak Drive, Apartment C, at 8:40 p.m. April 11. Hosler died after being transported to Norman Regional Hospital.
During an interview with police at the hospital, Howard admitted to throwing Hosler in the air, striking the back of her head with his steel-toed boot and throwing her face-down into the corner of a couch. He then went without checking her welfare for 30 minutes, stated the affidavit filed with the charge.
"After he found her in distress, he attempted to resuscitate her by pouring water in her mouth, attempted to call the child's mother and then eventually called 911," the affidavit reads.
Hosler was found to have numerous abrasions to the front of her head, water in her lungs and blood in her stomach.
She also was diagnosed with a possible skull fracture as well as having a month-old broken leg in a cast, the affidavit stated.

|Seahawks Fare Well In WEGA Amateur
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – Led by rising senior Lori Beth Adams, three members of the UNCW women's golf program had strong showings in the 2013 Women's Eastern Golf Association Amateur Championship this week.
Held June 11-13 at the Kingsmill River Course in Williamsburg, Va., the WEGA is one of the oldest and most prestigious women's amateur championships in the United States, with the inaugural championship taking place in 1906.
Adams, the Colonial Athletic Association's Player-of-the-Year, finished the 54-hole stroke play event with a tournament total of even-par 213 (71-72-70) to claim fourth place. Rising senior Megan Burnham (74-76-74=224) and rising junior Mallory Warrick (73-75-76=224) also competed in the event and were both part of a six-way tie for 16th.
Clemson signee Ashlan Ramsey took home the WEGA Championship with a three-day total of 206 (66-70-70) to post a two-stroke victory. South Carolina incoming freshman Katelyn Dambaugh (69-69-70=208) took second while Virginia rising junior Briana Mao (71-70-69=210) finished third.

If you have an extra $50,000, you could meet Mitt Romney and enjoy dinner in a Georgetown penthouse.
Bob and Suzy Pence will host an "evening reception and dinner" with the Republican presidential candidate June 27, according to an invitation secured by the Washington Post. The cost to attend is $50,000 per person.
The Pence's will host the event in their pent house at 3030 K St. NW in the Washington Harbour condo.
According to Opensecrets.org, in the 2012 election cycle, Pence has already given $350,000 to the Restore Our Future Super PAC, which is supporting the Republican presidential candidate.
For individual donors who attend the event, monies will be split among a variety of accounts to meet campaign finance requirements: the first $2,500 will go to Romney for President's primary account, the next $2,500 will go to Romney for President's general account and the next $30,800 will go to the Republican National Committee.
What's for dinner?

Campus Housing:
I lived in a high rise & no they are not brand spanking new or spacious...but I had a great time anyways. I loved living in such a big building & having the opportunity to live near so many of my peers. You forget what your dorm looks like within your first month of attending college...don't choose which school to go to based on how recently they were built.
Campus Housing:
Theonly problem would be how small!
Campus Housing:
It depends where you live. ECV is super nice and set up like apartments, but you don't get the social interaction like in the dorms. The dorms are tiny and cluttered and still have community bathrooms
Campus Housing:
I've never lived on campus.
Campus Housing:
I have stayed with my cousin at his apartment on campus and the convenience of the bus is wonderful. You get free washing and drying for your clothes.

Each hall has an RA whose two sole purposes in life are to answer any questions residents have, and to try to keep order in the building-neither being an easy task. Each hall has its own parties and socials every so often, and there is definitely a sense of community within every hall. And, get this-the bathrooms are usually very clean, except during football game weekends. One time, a bathroom in Creswell was shut down because it had become a biological hazard over one weekend, which is gross, but it was up and running by Monday. The maintenance staff in the dorms are very nice, as well. All the dorms now have air-conditioning. If you are lucky enough to have an individual unit in your room, like Creswell residents for example, count your blessings. The dorms with central air are usually on the warm side. You can open your windows, but this does not always help.
The Myers, Rutherford, and Mary Lyndon quad is a very popular place to hang out and play ultimate Frisbee. Even before renovations, Myers was a very popular dorm. It is also close to Snelling, which is a big plus. If you live in an all-female dorm, especially Brumby, it can seem to be overrun with sorority girls at times. Many people complain that they feel like they are the only girls on campus who didn't rush. The East Campus Village was designed to resemble apartments in an effort to keep students on campus. They offer 1,200 beds, and preference is given to students who have spent the most time in a dorm.

What have you been up to since Almost Live ended?
In 2001, I started producing and hosting "City a go go", a tiny, 5-minute weekly local arts show that aired on Seattle Channel 21 and KCTS 9. In February 2008, "City a go go" morphed into "Art Zone with Nancy Guppy," which is a weekly half-hour show about the local art scene that airs on Seattle Channel 21 and KCTS Channel 9. Since February 2008, we've done close to 100 shows. Art Zone is studio based, shot at the Seattle Channel, and features interviews, in-studio performance, and field pieces, covering all genres of art: film, theatre, visual art, dance, music and, of course, things that defy description!
What was your favorite Almost Live sketch?
So many fun ones. Here's a few, but ask me tomorrow and I'd come up with a different list. "Nature Walk with Chuck" is a riot. The wonderful actor, Matt Smith, played the role of Chuck. A few more that come to mind are "The Grateful Gourmet," "New Boyfriend," "Me!" and I love the original "Plumber" piece that featured Pat, Joe, and myself. Joe and I can quote numerous lines from that classic sketch, and often do.
What is your best Almost Live memory?
Again, lots of specifics come to mind. Overall, my favorite memory is the camaraderie with my fellow cast members. We were a fairly amicable bunch -- no out of control egos -- who enjoyed hanging out and making each other laugh. (Going to lunch most days was a sketch in itself -- deciding where to go and then getting everyone out the door at the same was pure absurdity.)

Springfield, Mass. - January 24, 2012 - The Springfield College men's volleyball team grinded out a five-set victory over visiting Sacred Heart in Blake Arena in the Pride's home opener on Tuesday evening. Springfield prevailed by the set scores of 25-20, 22-25, 25-21, 20-25, 15-13.
Springfield picked up its first victory of the season to improve to 1-3, while the Pioneers are now 0-3.
Tyler Tanaka finished the night with a team-best 10 kills at a .368 clip to go along with six digs, while Jimmy O'Leary notched nine kills while hitting .571 while posting four blocks. Mike Pelletier tallied seven kills and seven digs, and Mike Becker handed out 38 assists as Springfield hit .306 for the night.
Nick Hunt had a standout match for the visitors, totaling a match-best 21 kills. Bradley Borsay added 18 kills and Enzo Mackenzie registered 15 kills while hitting .400 with a match-high nine digs. John Lutjen delivered 49 assists and Mike Komlanc was credited with four blocks.
The Pride roared out to a 9-3 in the opening set as an Evan Acanfora kill forced the Pioneers into the timeout. The visitors regrouped and answered with a 7-1 burst, using a double block from Mackenzie and Komlanc to even the game at 10 apiece. As they would the entire evening, Springfield used another big run to gain control, this time pouring on an 8-2 spurt, using another Acanfora kill to push the score to 18-12, as SHU took their second timeout. The Pioneers got as close as three at 23-20, only to have kills from Angel Perez and Pelletier close out the frame.
Springfield's offense came out clicking in the second, connecting on seven kills on its first 11 swings without committing an error. However, the Sacred Heart attack was equally as impressive as it posted 19 kills in the set at a .500 clip. After Hunt manufactured a kill off the block to put SHU up 13-11, the Pride event things at 14-all on another Tanaka kill. From there, the Pioneers scored four of the set's next five points, using another Hunt kill after a back-and-forth rally to take control at 18-15. Springfield would get as close two four times, but Borsay came up big on set point to even the match.
Up 9-3 early in the third, Springfield scored four unanswered, highlighted by a huge ace from Becker to snag a 13-8 cushion. The Pride's lead would grow to as many as seven, going up 21-14 after Pelletier muscled a kill through the block, which forced Sacred Heart into its first timeout of the game. The Pioneers clawed within three at 24-21 after a Jason Kinney kill, but a service error on the ensuing play gave Springfield a 2-1 lead.
After opening the set with the first two points, Springfield surrendered the game's next five, with the Pioneers using two kills from Hunt and a pair of aces from Mackenzie to take a quick 5-2 lead. O'Leary would even things at 10-all, but a 5-1 push from the Pioneers forced the Pride into its second timeout. Springfield would get within two at 19-17 following a service error, but three straight points, including a big block by Hunt and Komlanc, allowed Sacred Heart to take a 22-17 lead. The Pioneers took the set 25-20 and forced a fifth and decisive set as it posted 15 kills in the game, overcoming Springfield hitting .500 for the stanza.
Springfield dropped the opening point of the fifth, but reeled off the next three, including huge block from O'Leary and John Coen. The Pioneers would battle back to take a 10-9 lead, only to have Springfield respond with three straight points, capped off by a double from from O'Leary and Pelletier, as SHU took a timeout. The Pioneers staved off set point on a Borsay kill, only to have Coen and O'Leary team up once again for the big stuff to complete the victory.
The Pride will play its first match against a Division III opponent on Friday evening when it hosts Endicott at 7:00 pm.

Residents packed the Woodbury City Council chambers Tuesday night during a candidate forum for local Senate and House races.
The League of Women Voters event, moderated by Grant resident Liz Nordling, touched on several topics, though job growth and bolstering the Minnesota economy were common themes throughout. The Republican- and DFL-endorsed candidates for Senate District 53 and House Districts 53A and 53B attended.
Below are the responses from the House District 53A candidates. DFL candidate JoAnn Ward faces off against Republican Pam Cunningham.
House District 53A respresents Precinct 1 and Precinct 8 in Oakdale.
Opening Statements
A nurse and school board member, Cunningham said she wants to focus on fiscal responsibility, education and health care reform, and plans to bring a positive voice to the Capitol if elected.
Ward said the Legislature should focus on growing jobs and the economy, and must do so through maintaining a strong public education system and providing affordable health care.
Voter ID
Saying she recently showed ID while giving blood, Cunningham said it's a "simple" idea, and when she's out door-knocking residents say they support the measure.
Ward said she will vote no on voter ID. "It's a solution looking for a problem," she said.
There aren't major issues with voter fraud in Minnesota, Ward said.
"It does disenfranchise an enormous number of people," she said.
Government Shutdown
Shutting down the government in the event a budget can't be reached should be "a last resort, not a political tool," Ward said.
There's not reason the Legislature shouldn't be able to address the budget in a timely manner, she said.
"We can work together," Ward said.
Cunningham, too, said a government shutdown should be a last resort, but sometimes lawmakers must adhere to their principles.
Tax Philosophy
In a depressed economy, the state can't increase taxes, Cunningham said.
The state must support small businesses and allow the market to stimulate job growth, she said.
"Budgets tell a story," Ward said.
She referenced a meeting with business leaders who said the state should do more to invest in education, creating qualified workers who will get jobs and in turn spend money.
Ward also said the Legislature should reduce taxes on small businesses.
Unions should have to market themselves to employees, Cunningham said, and workers shouldn't feel that they will lose their jobs if they don't join.
Unions have benefited the nation in the past, Ward said, and they serve a purpose, especially in larger companies, for groups to speak with one voice.
"Unions provide a balance of power," she said.
Marriage Amendment
Ward said she will vote no on a measure to define marriage as the union between one man and one woman in the state constitution.
People can certainly have their own thoughts on marriage, "but we don't need to impose those on other people," Ward said.
She said gay marriage wouldn't damage society, and "it's not a constitutional issue."
Cunningham said it's a "personal and private issue," and supports the right of voters to make that decision rather than the Legislature or a judge.
A District 622 School Board member, Cunningham said she would never vote for another funding shift and said it's wrong for Minnesota to "balance the budget on the back of its children."
Ward, a former teacher, said Minnesota needs skilled labor and must do more to teach life skills as well as academics.
Closing Statements
Ward said she's a problem solver and would work across the aisle and follow through on ideas and suggestions from constituents.
With her experience in nursing and schools, Cunningham said she has the experience needed, as 80 percent of the state budget is dedicated to health care and education.

ANDERSON, Ind. — Midway through Monday's afternoon practice, Andrew Luck let loose with a high, arcing pass down the left sideline.
Fellow rookie T.Y. Hilton settled under it perfectly in stride 35 to 40 yards downfield and would have cruised in for an 80-yard touchdown if the whistle hadn't blown a few seconds later.
It's safe to say the Indianapolis Colts' new quarterback is beginning to find a groove with his teammates.
"It's better every day," Luck said of the timing with his receivers following the morning session at Anderson University. "Like I mentioned earlier, reps help so much and the more passes I can throw to Reggie
(Wayne) and (Austin) Collie and Donnie (Avery) and the tight ends and all the guys, the running backs, the better I'll be."
Center Samson Satele finds it hard to imagine the rookie signal-caller can get much better.
The 6-foot-3, 299-pound Samoan played his first five seasons with the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders, and he made it clear he's never seen another quarterback like Luck.
"You watch, bro," Satele said. "He's crazy good. There's nothing I can teach the man right now. I mean, he's that great."
As he does with most praise, Luck quickly deflected Satele's comments.
"It's nice, obviously, to get compliments from your teammates," he said.
"I think he's trying to build my confidence before the second practice, but it is nice to get compliments from him."
If Satele was trying to pump up his quarterback, it worked.
Luck's ultra sharp performance in the afternoon session included three touchdown passes and a nifty deep completion to Collie along the right sideline. Luck lofted another deep ball over a defensive back and into the arms of a leaping Donnie Avery later in the session.
It was one of Luck's best performances in the deep passing game since he joined the Colts in April.
Head coach Chuck Pagano said deep passes in practice are good for both sides of the ball.
"You know what, they've hit them," Pagano said. "He's hit them. I saw a few that were miscues also that we could have made. So we'll continue.
That's always offensively and defensively. I know coaching (defensive
backs) for so many years and being on the defensive side of the ball, going into your first preseason game you're always scared that you're not going to get enough deep ball work on either side, the timing of it, the throwing and catching it and then defending it. So the more we can do out here, the better for both sides."
Luck had two more potential touchdown passes batted down during a two-minute drill near the end of practice.
The first was a beautifully thrown ball deep into the right corner of the end zone intended for Avery. Cornerback Jerraud Powers closed on the play late and nearly made an amazing one-handed interception before knocking the pass to the ground.
Flashing back to his days as the Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator, Pagano might have been the most excited person on the field after Powers'
"It's everything I can do from going over there and rooting and cheering and high-fiving and all that stuff," he said. "I've got to remember I'm right down the middle now so I can't play favoritism, but it was a nice play."
A few snaps later, on a desperation fourth-down attempt, Luck floated a pass into the middle of the end zone for Reggie Wayne. Safety Antoine Bethea arrived first and easily broke up the play.
"Obviously, you're going to make some mistakes," Luck said before taking the field in the afternoon. "Hopefully, we get better every practice. I know it's very cliché, but I think it's important to get better as a team."

BuddyPress & Membership Site integration
Hi Everyone-
I am using WP 3.4.2 and the latest versions of BuddyPress and WPMember. My client wants to create a social community that is only accessible once a user has purchased a membership. So the social community should not be accessible site wide. A user should only be able to create a profile after purchasing a membership and logging in.
Is this possible to set up. WPMember support believes that it is only possible to implement buddy press site wide and cannot be restricted/hidden from non paying users.
Anyone have any experience using BuddyPress on a membership site. Any help/guidance/ideas or instruction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much

For some, it's a chance to get away from peeling potatoes or running to the grocery store for last-minute provisions. For others, it's a chance to avoid Aunt Millie telling everyone — for the 20th year — about the time you Krazy-glued your hand to your head on prom night. Or maybe you just love a parade....
Regardless of your motivation, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the New York spectacle celebrating its 85th anniversary, is something that everyone living in the shadow of Manhattan has to do at least once in their lifetime.
The Thanksgiving-day forecast for New York City reveals clear skies and a manageable high of 50 degrees. That said, anyone hoping to get close to Woodstock, the Smurfs, Kermit the Frog, Julius the Sock Monkey, Sonic the Hedgehog, various musicians and actors hawking their new CDs or shows — or the man in the red suit at the end of the parade — is going to have to stake out a spot on the parade route by no later than 7 a.m. So dress warmly to manage the early-morning frost. Wear layers, comfortable shoes and have plenty of distractions for the kids to keep them happy between arrival and the festivities.
Crowds hit about 3 million parade partiers, so be ready for slow-going on the sidewalks. In addition, two words for those who feel the need to down a dozen cups of coffee to wake up or stay warm throughout the morning: no bathrooms. Anyone experienced at trying to find a 'loo on a good day in New York should expect little cooperation from merchants and no Port-a-potties on the streets for this little slice of Thanksgiving mayhem. Also, bringing a chair to the parade is a no-no, so once you stake out your little spot on the cement, that's where you are bound to remain until you leave or the parade ends around noon.
GETTING THERE If you have to drive into the city, come through the Lincoln Tunnel, but find a place to park west of 9th Avenue to avoid massive traffic and help beat a hasty retreat. You also could come into the city through the Holland Tunnel and take the subway to various spots along the parade route:
- Take the D to 34 St./Herald Square or 59 St./Columbus Circle.
- Take the C to 42 St./Times Square, 50 St./8th Ave., 59 St./Columbus Circle, 72 St./Central Park West, or 81 St./Central Park West.
- Take the 1,2,3 to 42 St./Times Square or 72 St./Broadway. The 1 local will also stop at 50 St./Broadway and 59 St./Columbus Circle.
If you're smart enough to use mass-transit, check with NJTransit to see when trains are leaving from your station. Then you have a few options:
If you aren't on a line that goes directly to Penn Station in New York, take the train to Hoboken and then take the Path to Herald Square.
If you're on a direct line to Manhattan, you can walk a few blocks to Herald Square or take the subway uptown and jump out when you think you'll get lucky along the route.
PARADE ROUTE The parade begins at 77th Street and Central Park West and runs sought to the end of Central Park, turning onto Seventh Avenue and continuing south to 42nd Street. At 42nd Street, it turns east for a block to Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas). At 34th Street, the procession will head west to Herald Square, ending at 34th Street and Seventh Avenue in front of Macy's flagship store.
BEAT THE CROWDS, PART I You don't have to go to the parade to see the giant floats in person. The balloons will be inflated from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. today on 77th and 81st Streets between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. This cool event draws a crowd too, but it feels more like a party than a subway platform in rush hour at the parade on Thanksgiving Day.
BEAT THE CROWDS, PARADE DAY The best shot you have for a hassle-free day is to know someone with an office along the parade route, get a hotel with a view of the mayhem or offer to cook Thanksgiving dinner for a pal who lives on Central Park West. Barring that, here are some suggestions for optimal viewing:
- The parade begins at 77th Street and Central Park West, at the American Museum of Natural History, so you could try to stake out a spot on the museum steps.
- Columbus Circle offers a great spot to watch the parade move around the circle, affording you the chance to watch from the south end of Central Park, as well as the west side of the street.
- At the TimeWarner Center, occupy a spot in front of the building, which has bathrooms, a Whole Foods and seating near the street.
- Once you leave Central Park West, Seventh Avenue will get tight, but there will be plenty of blocks where you can find a spot close the action, but be patient. The tall guy with the turkey hat will get bored when the cameras pass and he will move to find another close-up.
- Don't be afraid to roam. If you're not there to get the definitive SpongeBob Squarepants photo, try to pick and choose spots like a commuter in rush-hour traffic. Or better yet, just chill and enjoy the experience.
WATCH OUT FOR: Keep in mind that no matter where you are going, someone is going to try to sneak in front of you, get in your kids' way or make a general nuisance of themselves. Hang in there and don't let anything spoil the day. Remember, there's a big ole' turkey dinner, cocktails — and football games on TV — waiting for you when you get home.
FROM THE COUCH: The televised parade coverage, an extended version of the Today Show on NBC is led by Matt Lauer, Ann Curry and Al Roker. The broadcast begins at 9 a.m. and finishes at noon, when Santa Claus and his reindeer parade in.
WANT TO BE IN THE 2012 PARADE NEXT YEAR? Think you'd like to send your marching band the head down Seventh Avenue? Have a performance group that could light up the parade route? Check out the criteria here: http://social.macys.com/parade2010/#/want-to-be-in-the-parade

Sonoma County college leaders hail Prop. 30's passage
Published: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 6:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 6:36 p.m.
Patrick Maloney, a junior at Sonoma State University, woke up Wednesday morning to a pleasant surprise.
California voters had approved Proposition 30, the statewide tax measure backed by Gov. Jerry Brown to raise about $6 billion a year for education.
For thousands of state university students, it meant money in the bank: specifically a $249 refund of a tuition fee increase they paid this fall.
For Maloney, a 20-year-old political science major from Sacramento, it also was a payoff for a successful campaign to register more than 1,000 SSU students to vote in Tuesday's election.
"It wasn't a tough sell," said Maloney, who organized the drive in his role as statewide issues senator in the Associated Students group. "When I told them how it directly affected them, they were like, 'Sign me up.'"
Prior to the election, the CSU Board of Trustees agreed to rescind the $249 per semester tuition fee hike if Prop 30 passed, returning annual tuition fees for full-time undergraduate students to $5,472, the same as last academic year.
CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed said he hoped that passage of Proposition 30, by a 54 to 46 percent margin, marks "the beginning of the state's reinvestment in higher education."
California "needs to start making up for the devastating budget cuts of the past several years and focus on higher education as a driver of California's economic future," Reed said in a statement.
Maloney said the California State Student Association, which represents the 23 state universities, attempted to register 35,000 students to vote this fall, and SSU exceeded its goal.
Proposition 30 was a conversation topic among SSU students "who know what's going on around them," Maloney said.
The only qualms, he said, came from "fiscally conservative" students who had reservations about the temporary increases in personal income and sales taxes.
Students not only get back $249 now, but also avoided a $150 tuition fee increase proposed by CSU trustees for the spring semester in the event Proposition 30 failed.
Maloney said he went to bed Tuesday night while the measure was trailing, and was delighted to learn it had passed by 8 points.
In Sonoma County, Proposition 30 won by a 66 to 34 percent margin.
Larry Furukawa-Schlereth, SSU's chief financial officer, said the tuition refunds would cost the school $3 million, which will have to be offset from other sources, most likely from cash reserves.
But the measure was "a huge positive step" for SSU, he said.
Had Proposition 30 failed, SSU would have had to cover a permanent $5 million budget loss, Furukawa-Schlereth said.
Student fees at Santa Rosa Junior College were not affected by the ballot measure, but its failure would have cost the school $6.3 million — doubling the budget deficit for the current fiscal year to $12.3 million.
Because the budget had to be approved months before the election, it offset the $12.3 million loss by cutting 530 class sections and shutting 2,920 students out of classes, officials said.
"We acted conservatively," said Doug Roberts, vice president of business services. "We could not afford to gamble (on the ballot measure) and lose."
With Proposition 30's passage, SRJC will begin restoring the class cuts in the upcoming summer and fall semesters, president Frank Chong said.
Chong joined other SRJC managers, faculty and staff in working phone banks to support Proposition 30.
"This was a high-stakes game," he said. "Everybody agreed this proposition, if it didn't pass, would spell disaster for our students and for our institution."
Roberts said that SRJC dodged a fiscal bullet thanks to voters, but still faces a $6 million "structural deficit" that was bridged by one-year staff salary concessions and dipping into reserves this year.
"We have a longer-term problem," he said.

The final computer and TV recycling drop-off for this year will be this weekend.
Last month WVXU reported:
Hamilton County residents have recycled more than 116,000 pounds of old computer equipment and televisions so far this year and the Recycling and Solid Waste District says there's still time to build on that number. The county's free drop-off program is still available on Saturdays (except the Labor Day holiday on August 31) from 8 a.m. to noon until October 26.
New figures are in on how much it would cost to convert Mercy Mt. Airy hospital into a new crime lab for the coroner's office.
Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco says a new architectural study puts renovation costs at $21.5 million, well under the projected $56 million to build a new facility.
"The building is sound and it's a gift," says Sammarco. "I think we really need to look at it as this is going to be the most economical way for us to get a new crime lab."
It will now be easier for Cincinnati State students to get four-year degrees from the University of Cincinnati.
In a poll of voters in the early presidential primary state of New Hampshire, Ohio's junior senator Rob Portman and Ohio governor John Kasich don't even register one percent support among Republican primary voters.
Kentucky's junior senator, Rand Paul, tops the list of 13 potential GOP presidential contenders for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination with 17 percent, followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 16 percent.
A terminally ill Cincinnati man, who traveled to Maryland to marry his partner, has died. John Arthur married Jim Obergefell in July on the tarmac because Arthur, who had ALS, was too sick to get off his stretcher.
Court case continues
Shortly after they married, the couple filed a federal lawsuit challenging Ohio's marriage law, in part so they could be buried together in Arthur's family plot.

Remember the Sarah Palin's-head-shaped smoker that Chicago artist J. Taylor Wallace used to cook a pear-stuffed suckling pig at last spring's Art Cookers 4 "Taste/See" at the National Ornamental Metal Museum? I thought it rang a bell. Anyway, the metallic visage of the Pride of Wasilla has found a new home these days. From Complex via Chicagoist (which has a bunch of pics of the Palin head):
Two years ago, Chicago-based sculptor J. Taylor Wallace created this statue in the image of Sarah Palin, and it's quite accurate--it has a big mouth and it takes up space. After unveiling it in Memphis, the piece has found a new home on the South Side of Chicago.The Los Angeles Times, which mentions the Metal Museum, has this statement from Wallace:
According to Wallace, Palin's decision to thrust herself into the debate about health care reform was the trigger for the piece. Its arrival will be celebrated at the Bridgeport Sculpture Garden, and Bridgeport Art Center will roast a suckling pig inside of the sculpture (it can be used as a stove) on Friday.
The artist told the television station that the statue "was kind of in response to the political climate at that time, when the healthcare debate was going on. I thought she was a distraction from what was important, and it was cathartic to spend three months doing it.... It helped me out a lot."PICTURED: J. Taylor Wallace with "We're havin' a Tea Pear-ody," his Sarah Palin-shaped metal smoker, at the Art Cookers 4 "Taste/See" show on May 20, 2011, at the National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis.

Motion module is an IEC 61131-3 controller
Yaskawa MP2600iec motion module is an IEC 61131-3 controller with PLCopen Motion function blocks for 1.5 axis applications. It expands Yaskawa's machine control offerings.
Yaskawa expanded its scalable MP2000iec machine control system with the MP2600iec motion module. This module is an IEC 61131-3 controller with PLCopen Motion function blocks for 1.5 axis applications.
The 1.5 axis controller is suitable for stand-alone machine subsystems in modular mechatronics machine architectures, the company said. Since motion control functions, PLC and drive regulation are integrated in one PCB, it is possible to automate entire machine subsystems.
The MP2600iec 1.5 axis controller complements the MP2000iec controller line which is preferentially used in multi-axis applications. MP2600iec offers advantages in 1.5 axis applications such as coilers, cross cutters, flying saws or imprint/register controls, labeling and cam disks. The machine subsystem that is automated using the MP2600iec Motion Module receives its guide value from a master encoder and synchronizes its slave axis to this guide value. Due to modular design, the machine subsystems can be tested and commissioned individually.
The MP2600iec Motion Module supports communication via EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, OPC server and web browsers. On top of its master encoder input, the module contains eight digital inputs, eight digital outputs, one analog input and one analogue output. All integrated inputs and outputs are freely programmable.
The MP2600iec Motion Module has specifically been designed for deployment with Yaskawa high-performance Σ-V (Sigma-5 series) servo drives. The module features plug-in installation in the servo drive and reportedly offers all the benefits of IEC 61131-1 standard and PLCopen Motion based control.
The MP2600iec Motion Module is suitable for 1.5 axis applications in packaging, printing, metal, plastics and textile processing and handling.

A new adventure - Soultrek
2013 is here and with it comes a new adventure. Like all adventures the path is not exactly clear yet there is a vision of the future and the end goal may be seen far ahead.
This new adventure means that The X-Structure, as you know it, will take a break and go on various sub-quests and wanderings in the wild.
We will, however, not leave without leaving some good elevator music for, you, the modern adventurer as this new adventure is in fact another musical project started by the mysterious man behind The X-Structure. (Yes it all comes from the imagination of one daring fellow.)
This new adventure is called Soultrek and is currently being meticulously crafted into existence with the production of the debut album, called Legend-Borne.
So this is not the end my friend but merely the end of the beginning.
You are most welcome to join me on this wild trek into the undiscovered reaches of life and beyond.

A word from our partner - Why Music is Important for Your Well-being
You see a light in a clearing and the sounds of nature envelop you. It feels good and you are now at peace. You breathe in and out, taking in everything that surrounds you, the tranquility and the calmness. You are now at one with the world. You are now one with the cosmos. You hear a faint sound, and it doesn't startle you. It's like coming from a dream state, are you half asleep? Or half awake? It echoes through your entire being, and suddenly, you just know. No doubt you are hearing the ephemeral music of The X-Structure. Welcome, visitor. All you need to do is to close your eyes and listen while you relax with your Audio Technica headphones.
Music creates a whole new world for us, and it is in often ways, therapeutic for the soul. It relaxes us and does wonders for our health. Therapists typically use music to help patients with their cognitive functioning, motor skills, emotional and affective development, behavior and social skills. Games are also considered as alternative therapy and they improve your wits, creativity and learning skills whether it could be board, video, or online games. Those who would like to improve their playing strategies can practice online at partycasino.com. There are two ways to play thrilling casino games, just pick one that suits you best. Music therapy is known to treat mood disorders such as depression, heart disease, as well as neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. You don't have to pick up a Les Paul guitar to totally immerse yourself into music. You can simply achieve wellness and health just by listening to whatever fits your mood, especially in bouts of stress. Try mood altering and mood lifting classical or even electronica. Not the ones that are played during a night out of clubbing but downtempo electronica. So please do peruse through The X Structure's discography and these albums will take you into a relaxing state of bliss.
Music therapy has also been known to be used in indigenous practices in Africa. They use lyrical music to alleviate some anticipated pain. In Western culture, music is mainly used for entertainment purposes such as playing games as a hobby and to relax. You can also fight boredom and relax by playing online games at PartyCasino. You can join the casino tournaments and other popular games such as blackjack, roulette, and slots.
In contrast, music is used for traditional celebrations, storytelling and sending out messages in Africa. So you see, music has its divine purpose in this world. Not only to does it provide food for the soul and peace of mind, it also brings people and cultures together. Here's to wishing you a wonderful journey in the world of music.
Behold the Mountain
The X-Structure, that's us, being ever the time-travellers, once again brings you a gift back from our travels in time and space. Mountain is this gift, which was initially conceived, and the ground work mostly done, in the forming years of The X-Structure, circa 2008.
With some polishing, fine-tuning and general crafting we have completed the tracks now in 2012 but in the process still retained that unique feel and expression of the tracks from whence they came.
In this, we again offer you something different from where we have currently been heading with our latest few releases. Call it a detour if you like, or perhaps even a hike over the mountains instead of taking the winding mountain pass that we have been heading towards.
So without further ado, and before we go off again into the future, or on a rambling tangent, here it is. Finally!
Please consider "paying" for the album with a tweet or a post on Facebook
or just download the album here (41.4MB).
To the Wild Places
We are stoked and honoured to announce the release of our latest album, Wild Places.
This album has been in the making for some time, much longer than any of our previous albums, if our memory serves us well, and we hope that the fruits of our works of love and creative expression will be alluring, inspiring and refreshing to you.
The overall sound and stylistic elements of Wild Places follows on, and is a continuation of, our previous two albums, The Future and Liberation.
As with all of our albums there is always a story, or a conceptual theme, that guides and carries the songs. You will notice in the case of Wild Places, with its story found on the album release page and in the accompanying album notes, that each track has its own specific story which ultimately forms part of the larger story of the album. This larger story being an invitation to take the road less travelled, knowing that you have what it takes, a true heart, to stay the course, taking it slowly but surely, in discovering the crux of the story, finding that there is a mystery, and something greater behind it all.
Please consider "paying" for the album with a tweet or a post on Facebook
or just download the album here (68.5MB).
A nifty new guide to The X-Structure's albums
If you are new to The X-Structure then you will be glad to know that we now have a nifty new guide to help you navigate through the vast expanse of The X-Structure's albums (16 and counting).
To view the guide head over to our Music Room to the suitably named "The Beginner's Guide To Navigating The Universe Via The X-Structure".

Thanks for posting this–it looks even more comprehensive than last year, and I'm still listening to some of those podcasts! I don't see many of the same folks presenting, so clearly the word is getting around!

"Used these for all of my road and track training runs. I also used these for 2 half marathons and a 15k. I use the MT1010 for trails and 00 for 5k-10k. I had no issue with these shoes and have logged more miles than recommended for most running shoes."

"The shoes felt good when I first started using them for short runs, less then 2 miles. When I started running more than 2 miles in the shoes, the circles on the bottom of the shoes would cause blisters on the bottom of my feet. I usually run 4-6 miles several times a week and would not recommend these shoes."

"I have been running in the Minimus Zero Trail, which I think had a nice fit, were very breathable, and light weight, but were not very comfortable on long runs on the pavement. So I decided to upgrade to the Minimus 1010 for a little more cushioning. The 1010 does not disappoint. It is very comfortable on long runs while still keeping the feel of a "minimal" running shoe. Not as light or as breathable as the Zero Trail, but definitely takes the bite out of running on pavement. I ordered the 1010 in the same size as my Zero Trail, but had to exchange them for a 2E because the D width was more narrow than the D width in the Zero Trail. Very happy with them after 30 miles and counting..."
