Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — The No. 1 got taken down by a bunch of 3s.
Gonzaga is out of the NCAA tournament thanks to Wichita State, a No. 9 seed that made five straight shots from behind the arc Saturday for a 76-70 victory that sent the West Region's top seed — and the nation's No. 1 team during the regular season — back home.
"This is incredible for our team," said freshman guard Ron Baker, who hit four of the Shockers' season-high 14 3-pointers. "We came together down the stretch and pulled the upset off. This feeling is unimaginable."
Now Wichita State doesn't have to try and emulate fellow mid-major Gonzaga any more.
The Shockers (28-6) one-upped the Zags (32-3) on the NCAA tournament stage, and advanced to the Round of 16 for the first time since 2006. They are headed to Los Angeles to face the winner of Sunday's game between La Salle and Ole Miss.
Gonzaga became the first top seed to be eliminated, giving all the Zags' doubters an I-told-you-so moment. The Zags survived a scare in the second round against Southern but couldn't hold up against a Shockers team whose motto is "play angry."
Call it the Marshall plan, by 50-year-old Shockers coach Gregg Marshall.
He pulled his team aside after Gonzaga had made its big second-half run to take an eight-point lead.
"You know what I asked them? On Oct. 15, down eight with eight minutes to go, would you take it for the right to go to Los Angeles in the Sweet 16?" Marshall asked. "And they did it from there."
Cleanthony Early and Baker scored 16 points apiece, freshman Fred VanVleet added 13, Carl Hall had 10 and Tekele Cotton eight.
Baker called it the epitome of team.
While Baker hasn't been this deep in the tournament before, the Shockers are no stranger to the NCAAs, with Saturday's win evening their record at 10-10. They earned a trip to the Final Four in 1965, the regional finals three times and most recently made it to the Round of 16 in 2006 before losing to George Mason.
Marshall also led Winthrop to seven NCAA tournament appearances during his nine seasons there.
Still, Wichita State hadn't fared so well against top-ranked teams. The last time they played one, in 1967, they lost by 34. That was UCLA, a team that went on to win its fourth of 10 titles during the Wooden era.
While Gonzaga held the top spot in the AP Top 25 over the final weeks of the season, skeptics thought of the Bulldogs as a soft No. 1 seed that benefited from a relatively easy schedule in the West Coast Conference while other top contenders were getting banged around in the power conferences.
That's not to say the Bulldogs didn't fight, with Kelly Olynyk scoring 26 points to lead Gonzaga, and Kevin Pangos adding 19.
Gonzaga trailed by as many as 13 in the first half, was down 36-31 at the break, but came on strong early in the second half.
Wichita State was not intimidated.
"They never quit," Marshall said. "You know we got the big lead, Gonzaga makes a great run as a No. 1 team in the country would, and these guys dig down."
Shockers, for sure.
They showed their grit after Gonzaga's 12-0 run gave the Bulldogs a 49-41 lead with 11:53 left. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Kevin Pangos and Michael Hart started it, Olynyk hit a jumper then a pair of free throws, and Pangos capped it with a steal and fast-break layup.
But Wichita State outscored the Zags 35-21 from there.
The string of five straight 3s began when Tekele Cotton spotted up with 6:05 remaining and hit a shot that cut Wichita State's seven-point deficit to four.
It ended at the 1:28 mark when VanVleet, dribbling the ball between his legs, nearly lost it, but gathered himself and threw one up with 1 second left on the shot clock. It went in, the Shockers were ahead 70-65 and the rest of the game was a free-throw-shooting contest.
"I was just disappointed that with 1 second left that we even let him get a 3 off," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "That was a mental error on our part."
The Shockers, who made just 2 of 20 3-pointers in their 18-point win over Pitt on Thursday, shot 50 percent from beyond the arc and 50 percent overall.
"They deserve a ton of credit," Few said. "It's the first time in a while someone made 50 percent on us, and to bang in 14 3s (overall) is pretty amazing."
It was another sudden end to an amazing ride for Gonzaga. The Bulldogs were playing in their 15th straight NCAA tournament but have not advanced past the Round of 16 since 1999.
"I think we just ... let our guard down a little bit," Hart said. "That was key. We defended so well at start of the second half, then we just lost some guys. You can't do that when guys get it going. You gotta get a hand up and stay close to your assignments. We kinda lost it there a few possessions and that really hurt us."
While the Zags left disappointed, the Shockers stayed fairly low key in victory.
At one point, Early and teammate Chadrack Lufile jumped up and body slammed each other and the Shockers huddled at midcourt for a long team hug. But largely, Wichita State acted like a team that's been there before.
"We play together, we stick to our goals, we're good teammates," Baker said. He hardly looked fazed.
The game was physical as expected, with Olynyk getting a forearm across his neck in the first half but continuing to go hard at the basket.
Gonzaga's 39-30 rebounding edge couldn't make up for 36 percent shooting.
Six different Wichita State players hit 3s in the opening 20 minutes as the Shockers made 7 of 15 from beyond the arc in the first half.
They finished 14 of 28 overall.
"Man it means a lot," Shockers senior forward Carl Hall said. "It means a lot to this program and our fans deserve this."
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Vander Blue scored 19 second-half points to rally third-seeded Marquette out of another hole, and the Golden Eagles beat No. 6 Butler to reach the round of 16.
Like November's first meeting between the teams at the Maui Invitational, won 72-71 by Butler on Rotnei Clarke's buzzer-beating 3-pointer, this was a back-and-forth, high-intensity affair that came down to the final shot.
Only this time, Butler missed.
Marquette (25-8) will meet the winner of Sunday's game between Illinois and Miami on Thursday in the regional semifinals in Washington, D.C.
Blue, who made a last-second layup to beat Davidson in Marquette's first tournament game, scored 29 points.
Clarke's 24 points led Butler (28-9).
After Jamil Wilson's two free throws made it 71-69, Davante Gardner deflected Clarke's pass intended for Kellen Dunham underneath and then made the first of three late free throws for a 74-70 lead with 4.7 seconds left.
After Wilson's goaltend on what would have been a layup by Andrew Smith cut the lead to two 2 seconds later, Blue almost became the goat by throwing away the inbound pass intended for Wilson with 2.9 seconds left.
The Bulldogs, who seem to win every close game this time of year, couldn't get a good last look. Smith took an off-balance 3 from up top that was way off, slamming into the backboard and setting off another Marquette celebration.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — C.J. Fair scored 18 points, James Southerland added 14 and fourth-seeded Syracuse survived a second-half drought of more than 12 minutes without a field goal to beat No. 12 seed California.
The Orange (28-9) frustrated California with their zone defense to overcome a dismal shooting night when they made just 39 percent of their shots and missed 15 of 41 free throws.
But it proved to be enough to send Syracuse to Washington, D.C., for the regional semifinals, where the Orange will take on the winner of Sunday's game between top-seeded Indiana and Temple on Thursday.
Richard Solomon scored 22 points for the Golden Bears (21-12), who were trying to make it to the round of 16 for the first time in 16 years and just the third time since 1960.
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Mitch McGary had 21 points and 14 rebounds, and fourth-seeded Michigan breezed through Virginia Commonwealth's vaunted pressure with a clinical performance and advanced to the round of 16 for the first time since 1994.
VCU (27-9) was relentless in a 46-point rout of Akron on Thursday night, but the Rams met their match against Michigan's cool-headed backcourt. Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. rarely looked rattled against VCU, and although Michigan (28-7) committed 12 turnovers, the Rams couldn't turn many of them into quick scoring opportunities.
McGary, a 6-foot-10 freshman, set season highs in scoring and rebounding.
The 71-point swing by VCU — from a 46-point win to a 25-point loss — was the largest in NCAA tournament history, according to STATS. In 1968, Houston beat Texas Christian 103-68 then lost to UCLA 101-69 for a 67-point swing.
The Wolverines will play the winner of Sunday's game between Kansas and North Carolina in Arlington, Texas.

Mirco Mueller
Position: Defense
Junior team: Everett (WHL)
Born: Winterthur, Switzerland
Measurables: 6-foot-3, 176 pounds
2012-13 stats: 63 games, 6 goals, 25 assists, 31 points
Central Scouting rank: No. 9 (North America)
Lowdown: Mueller is a first-round talent according to NHL Central Scouting. He's a third-rounder, at best, according to others. Either way, he'll hear his name called.
There's not much wrong with Mueller. There's also no standout trait that makes him a lock to succeed. He skates very well, though he had a tendency to go sideways – a carryover from his time on larger European rinks. He played in the Swiss elite league as a 16-year-old before deciding to head to North America.
Moving was a good choice as his draft stock rose from unknown to much-discussed. He's not afraid to tangle with opponents. He's discovering how to play offense, and his smooth stride helps. He will continue to learn by playing against the best as international opportunities abound with Swiss national teams. He's got plenty of endurance based on his NHL Combine bike ride of 14:30, the best among the prospects.
He said it: "I can see plays happen before they happen, so most of the time I'm in the right position to make a play. Scoring goals is another person's job." – Mueller to the Hockey News.
The Buffalo News is profiling 30 prospects in 30 days leading up to the NHL draft June 30.

Rain Man (1988)
An Academy Award Best Picture buddy film: one is a selfish yuppie, the other is his institutionalized savant brother featuring an unforgettable performance from Best Actor Dustin Hoffman (one of his two Oscars, the other was earned in 1979's Best Picture). Lots of hilarious interplay in this one. Director Barry Levinson won his only Oscar (to date), as did the Original Screenplay. #63 on AFI's 100 Most Inspiring Movies list.
Tom Cruise plays the self absorbed one (big stretch;-) who discovers his wealthy father left his estate to his "idiot" brother Raymond (Hoffman). He didn't even know he had a brother, but figures that the only way to the money is through Raymond. So, he kidnaps Raymond and takes him on a cross-country journey of discovery, for them both. Valerie Golino plays Cruise's girlfriend, who forces him to appreciate Raymond for who he is. When Cruise discovers that his brother has special skills, he exploits him. But the film has a somewhat upbeat conclusion.

Would you ride, run or walk to Cupertino if you could using the Stevens Creek Trail?
Cyclists, joggers and pedestrians, get your wish lists ready!
Since the completion of Mountain View's Steven Creek Trail bridge extension over State Route 85, the focus has now turned to Sunnyvale and how that city could extend the trail to connect with Los Altos and Cupertino.
To help envision the trail, the cities of Cupertino, Los Altos, Mountain View and Sunnyvale invite the public to the first in a series of six open meetings in 2013 to gather input from the community about how and where to complete a multi-use trail in the Stevens Creek Corridor between Cupertino and Mountain View.
Participants will learn about the existing features of the Stevens Creek Trail Corridor and be asked to provide their specific ideas for trail connection options and the opportunities and constraints for each, according to Jennifer Garnett, of the City of Sunnyale.
And Wednesday looks like the day to bring your big ideas. After that, Sunnyvale city staff will winnow them down, Garnett's news release said.
This initial meeting serves as the basis for identifying the complete universe of trail connection options that will then be analyzed and narrowed during the next three phases of the study. In those phases, City of Sunnyvale staff and a consultant will assess each trail alignment, refine and identify the most feasible
alignments and present a final report with a recommended preferred alignment.
More information can be found at Stevens Creek Trail Joint Feasibility Study website, StevensCreekTrail.inSunnyvale.com.
Sandwich boards have gone up at key intersections advertising the meeting and the website, as well.
The meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 14, 2012, at 7 p.m., in the Grant Park Center at 1570 Holt Ave. in Los Altos.
Attendees will be able contribute ideas and learn about the current trail features along the corridor. This will be the first of six meeting planned through the Fall 2013.

Did you make a New Year's resolution?
Almost 50 percent of Americans make a resolution to greet the new year, and many of those resolutions are about losing weight, staying fit and getting healthy.
That's why Dr. Danielle Spath, a chiropractor who recently opened her own practice in Affton, is bringing health and fitness experts together for a resource fair to help residents get healthy in 2013.
SEE EVENT: Health Jump Start 2013
"Most people want to improve their health, but after just coming through the holidays from Thanksgiving to New Year's, a lot of people feel they are completely off track," Spath said. "New Year's resolutions have become somewhat cliche...but when the end of the year rolls around, sometimes—probably many times—they just don't have the right resources and they don't know what's availible to help them."
Spath said her clients health-related resolutions vary widley. Some need to lose weight, some want more fruits and veggies in ther diet, and others are looking to run their first 5K.
"If you have a goal, we can help you meet that goal," Spath said.
Local health experts and groups are joining the event Health Jump Start 2013, including:
- Jenni Tobin, Arbonne International
- Dr. Danielle Spath, Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician
- Therese Ippolito, Massage Kneaded
- Chris Stone, Owner of No Excuse Fitness
- Sally Drake, Owner of Swim Bike Run
- STL Fit Moms Meetup Group
- Lisa Huseman, Co-Owner of Z Total Body Fitness Studio
Instead of an admission fee, attendees are invited to bring donations to the Affton Christian Food Pantry. Anyone who donates or who visits each of the groups at the health fair will be entered into a raffle for prizes.
Health Jump Start 2013 starts at noon on Sunday, Jan. 6, at the Spine and Joint Center of Affton, 8005 Mackenzie Road.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have established an international network on acrylamide in food. The network's aim is to allow all interested parties to share relevant data as well as information on ongoing investigations.
The network is operated by the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (JIFSAN), a collaborative multidisciplinary research and education programme jointly administered by the US Food and Drug Administration and the University of Maryland. JIFSAN is a WHO Collaborating Centre for Risk Analysis and Food Contamination Monitoring and a member of the FAO Network of Centres of Excellence for Food Quality, Safety and Nutrition. The establishment of this network was one of the recommendations to come out of the June 2002 FAO/WHO Consultation on the Health Risks of Acrylamide in Food.
The website includes:
- A database of researchers/data providers;
- References for research published elsewhere;
- Information updates about the current status of research efforts; and
- WHO/FAO updates on information relevant to the health risk of acrylamide in food.
Any interested party may submit information, and it is hoped that governmental agencies, research institutions, industry and others will share information via the network. The network is intended to be a global resource and inventory of ongoing research on acrylamide in food. It encompasses formal research, surveillance/monitoring and industry investigations, etc. It is also designed to serve as a discussion forum for active researchers and others in the field. It aims to identify gaps and overlaps in available research/information, and make suggestions for how these could be addressed. Information on these aspects will be posted on the website.

TOLEDO, Ohio —
About 50 more people have come forward to say they were sexually abused at Catholic schools in Pennsylvania and Ohio by a Franciscan brother who killed himself in January, said an attorney who settled 11 alleged abuse cases against the friar.
And that apparently includes more students with Johnstown-area ties.
The new accusers have alleged in recent weeks that they were abused between 1982 and 2007 by the late Brother Stephen Baker, attorney Mitchell Garabedian said Sunday. Some said Baker, 62, abused them even after he left teaching in 2000, when he would attend school events in Johnstown, Garabedian said.
Baker originally worked for Bishop McCort as a trainer and religion teacher from the early 1990s until 2000.
Baker stabbed himself in the heart at a monastery near Hollidaysburg on Jan. 26, a little over a week after the disclosure of financial settlements in alleged abuse cases in Warren, Ohio. Baker left a short note apologizing for his actions, Blair County Coroner Patricia Ross has said.
The latest allegations come from people in 12 states who went to school in Warren or were either middle school or high school students in Johnstown, where Baker taught and coached, Garabedian said.
The Boston attorney said he's also heard from four people who say they were abused while Baker was at a high school in Orchard Lake, Mich.
Baker was named in legal settlements in January involving 11 men who alleged he sexually abused them at a Catholic high school in northeast Ohio three decades ago. The undisclosed financial settlements involved his contact with students at John F. Kennedy High School in Warren from 1986 to 1990.
Baker had a lengthy teaching career. Before McCort, he taught in Michigan in the mid-1980s and then taught and coached at John F. Kennedy High School in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Roman Catholic Bishop George Murry of Youngstown said this month that he sent letters asking for information from about 1,200 adults who attended Kennedy High School while Baker taught and coached there.
The Youngstown diocese has said it was unaware of the allegations until nearly 20 years after the alleged abuse.
Messages seeking comment were left with the Youngstown diocese and the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese on Sunday.

Wild baseball fans are a standard sight at Chicago's historic Wrigley Field. But a pair of wild coyotes wasn't what photographer Will Byington was expecting on a busy Friday night.
Byington was shooting a concert at a bar across the street from the stadium when he saw the two coyotes near the ticketing area.
The ballpark is surrounded by bars, restaurants and busy streets. But Byington says the animals seemed unfazed by the honking horns and packed sidewalks, and jokes that maybe "they were on a date, taking a stroll."
Wildlife ecologist Stanley Gehrt has extensively studied coyotes living in and around Chicago. He says coyotes have been in the area for the past decade and that Cook County, where Chicago is located, has at least 2,000 of the animals.

List of Regulations
FCA Regulation
Subpart G - Mergers, Consolidations, and Charter Amendments of Associations
Ï 611.1122 Requirements for mergers or consolidations.
This section shall apply to any request for approval of a proposed merger or consolidation of associations. A merger involves the combination of one or more associations into a continuing constituent association, which retains its charter and bylaws (except as amended to effect the merger proposal). A consolidation involves the combination of two or more associations into a newly organized association having a new charter and bylaws.
Where two or more associations plan to merge or consolidate, or where the district board has adopted a reorganization plan for the associations in the district, the associations involved shall jointly submit a request to the district bank containing the following:
In the case of a merger, a copy of the charter of the continuing association reflecting any proposed amendments. In the case of consolidation, a copy of the proposed charter of the new association;
A statement of the reasons for the proposed merger or consolidation, the impact of the proposed transaction on the associations and their stockholders, and the planned effective date of the merger or consolidation;
A certified copy of the resolution of the board of directors of each association recommending approval of the merger or consolidation; or
In the case of a district reorganization plan, a certified copy of the resolution of the board of directors of each association recommending either approval or disapproval of the proposal.
A copy of the agreement of merger or consolidation;
Two signed copies of the continuing or proposed Articles of Association;
All of the information specified in paragraph (e) of this section; and
Any additional information or documents each association wishes to submit in support of the request or that the supervising bank or the Farm Credit Administration requests.

The associations shall jointly submit the proposal together with required documentation to the Farm Credit Administration for preliminary approval.
Upon receipt of an association merger or consolidation request, the Farm Credit Administration shall review the request and either deny or give its preliminary approval to the request.

When a request is preliminarily approved, written notice of the preliminary approval shall be given to the associations and a copy provided to the bank. Preliminary approval by the Farm Credit Administration shall not constitute approval of the merger or consolidation. Approval of a merger or consolidation shall be only pursuant to paragraph (g) of this section.
Upon receipt of preliminary approval by the Farm Credit Administration of a merger or consolidation request, each constituent association shall call a meeting of its voting stockholders. The meeting shall be called on written notice to each stockholder entitled to vote on the transaction, and held in accordance with the terms of each association's bylaws.

Cheyenne, Wy – In his comments to a draft environmental impact statement, Governor Dave Freudenthal wants more clarity from the Bureau of Land management on the types of mineral development that will occur in the Great Divide area. Freudenthal is critical that the management plan lacks clarity and specifics. The Governors Press Secretary Lara Azar says Freudenthal is trying to avoid legal hang-ups.
Freudenthal also wants more active management of development, wildlife, and recreation impacts. He wants Ferris Mountain Protected and does not favor additional leases in the Adobe Town area.

Office of Children and Youth (OCY)
Systems of Care in Tennessee
What is a System of Care?
The system of care model is an organizational philosophy and framework that involves collaboration across agencies, families, and youths for the purpose of improving access and expanding the array of coordinated community-based, culturally and linguistically competent services and supports for children and youth with a serious emotional disturbance and their families. Systems of care engage families and youth in partnership with public and private organizations to design mental health services and supports that are effective, that build on the strengths of individuals, and that address each person's cultural and linguistic needs. A system of care helps children, youth, and families function better at home, in school, in the community, and throughout life.
System of Care Core Values
Building Systems of Care in Tennessee
TDMH currently oversees the following federally-funded Systems of Care: the Early Connections Network (Robertson, Cheatham, Sumner, Montgomery and Dickson counties), the South Central System of Care (formerly Mule Town Family Network ), the JustCare Family Network (Shelby County), and the K-Town Youth Empowerment Network (Knox County). TDMH's first federally-funded System of Care grant was the Nashville Connection (Davidson County), which was funded from 1999-2006.
OCY is committed to providing leadership for statewide efforts to expand the system of care approach throughout Tennessee. In addition to working in partnership with community stakeholders on federally funded System of Care grants, TDMHSAS also Co-Chairs with the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth the statutorily mandated Council on Children's Mental Health.
South Central System of Care (SCSC)
The SCSC is a System of Care expansion and sustainability initiative. Formerly known as the Mule Town Family Network, the SCSC is now operated under a Care Management Entity model by Advantage Behavioral Health and a network of local providers and overseen by a community governance board inclusive of family members, youth, and local stakeholders. The goal of the SCSC to enhance and maintain a system of care through a coordinated effort of state, county, local child-serving agencies, youth, and family members in the South Central Region of Tennessee. Using a wraparound approach, the SCSC provides community-based, culturally and linguistically competent, family-driven and youth-guided care for children and youth with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) and their families. The SCSC serves children and youth ages 0-21 and works in partnership with the Department of Children's Services, Centerstone of Tennessee and Tennessee Voices for Children to serve children and youth who have experienced trauma.
For more information about the South Central System of Care, please contact Shawn Brooks at email@example.com.
JustCare Family Network
The JCFN is a partnership between TDMHSAS and Shelby County Government and local child serving agencies, family members and youth in Shelby County. The goal of the JCFN is to offer an effective approach to delivering mental health services and system transformation through an enhanced cultural and linguistically competent, family-driven, youth guided system of care. JCFN will serve 450 children and youth with serious emotional disturbance and their families in Memphis and Shelby County over the course of the six-year grant funded period. One of the JCFN's goals is to reach the disproportionate number of African-American youth in the juvenile justice system with undiagnosed, untreated mental health needs. The JCFN serves children and youth ages 5-19 and is federally funded from 2008-2014. JCFN is currently working with state and local partners to develop and implement a sustainability plan for a local system of care in Shelby County.
For more information about JustCare, please contact Dr. Altha Stewart at email@example.com or (901) 222-4500 or visit http://www.shelbycountytn.gov/index.aspx?nid=2646.
K-Town Youth Empowerment Network (K-Town)
The K-Town Youth Empowerment Network is a mental health initiative in Knox County, Tennessee, serving youth transitioning to adulthood with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and their families. K-Town offers an effective approach to delivering mental health services and system transformation through an enhanced culturally competent, family-driven, youth-guided, community-based and coordinated system of care. Employing local youth and caregivers as care coordinators with support from mental health consultants, and partnering with parents and youth at all levels, K-Town will serve a minimum of 400 youth ages 14-21 with serious emotional disturbance or serious mental illness and their families over the course of the grant funded period (2009-2015). K-Town is a partnership between TDMHSAS, Tennessee Voices for Children, Helen Ross McNabb Center, Centerstone Research Institute, youth, family members, and local child-serving agencies.
For more information about K-Town, please visit their website at www.ktownyen.org or call (865) 523-0701, Ext. 1.

Hack and / - Linux Troubleshooting, Part II: Local Network
After we have confirmed that shawn is plugged in, the next step is to confirm that eth0 on shawn is configured correctly. To do that, I would use the ifconfig command with eth0 as an argument. I should get back all of the network information I need to determine whether eth0 is set up correctly on shawn:
$ ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:42:c0:ff:ee inet addr:10.1.1.9 Bcast:10.1.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::217:42ff:fe1f:18be/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:229 (229.0 B) TX bytes:2178 (2.1 KB)
There is a lot of output in that command, but the first line I would look at is the second line of output. There I can see that eth0's IP address is 10.1.1.9 and that its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If the machine were supposed to have a different IP or subnet mask from what I see here, that potentially could be the cause of the problem. If eth0 didn't have an IP or subnet mask configured at all, I might run ifup eth0 to bring up the interface, or I might look into the local network settings (/etc/network/interfaces on a Debian or Ubuntu machine, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 on a Red Hat-based machine) to see if anything is set incorrectly. If I can't seem to get the interface to come up, and this host gets its IP from DHCP, I might have to move my troubleshooting focus to the DHCP server.
After you have confirmed that the interface is on the network and should be able to communicate, the next step is to test whether you can access another host on the same subnet—specifically the gateway if you have one configured. Why? Well, if you can't talk to a host on the same subnet, especially if you can't talk to the gateway, there's no point in testing communications with hosts outside of your local subnet. First, I will use the route command to see what gateway is configured, and then I will use ping to see whether I can access the gateway:
$ sudo route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.1.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
In this example, I have a very basic routing table, and the line that begins with the word default defines my default gateway: 10.1.1.1. Be sure to use the -n option with route in this step. Without the -n option, route will try to resolve any IP addresses it lists into hostnames. Besides the fact that route will execute faster with -n, if you have network problems, you might not even be able to talk to your DNS server, plus DNS troubleshooting is a topic for another column.
Because I see that the gateway is 10.1.1.1, I would use the ping command to confirm that I can communicate with that gateway:
$ ping -c 5 10.1.1.1 PING 10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=3.13 ms 64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.43 ms 64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.79 ms 64 bytes from 10.1.1.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=1.50 ms --- 10.1.1.1 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 4 received, 20% packet loss, time 4020ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.436/1.966/3.132/0.686 ms
This output tells me that my machine can at least talk with the gateway and presumably with the rest of the 10.1.1.x network. Now, if I couldn't talk to the gateway, that could mean my network administrator is being annoying and blocking ICMP packets. If that's the case, I would just choose another machine on the same subnet (10.1.1.2-10.1.1.254) and try to ping it instead. If I am the network administrator (and therefore not blocking ICMP), or if ICMP isn't being blocked for some other reason, the problem at this phase could be some sort of VLAN issue that I would have to resolve on the network switch itself.
If you run the route command and don't find a default gateway set, you might be tempted to conclude that's the source of the problem. Be careful! That conclusion might be premature. See, if shawn and bill are on the same subnet, I don't need a default gateway configured for those servers to communicate. I'm not going to get into how to calculate subnets in this column, but suffice it to say in my example, if shawn has an IP of 10.1.1.9 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, bill could have an IP of 10.1.1.1 through 10.1.1.254 and be on the same subnet. In that case, I might just ping bill directly. Ideally, I would have a third host on the same subnet I also could ping. That way if bill doesn't respond, but another host on the same subnet responds, I can narrow in on bill as the likely source of the problem.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

Drew's Notebook
Morley not taken in supplemental draft
The NFL's supplemental draft has come and gone, and former UT defensive back Demetrice Morley was not selected.
In fact, the only player taken was Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon, a former All-SEC player who tested positive for a banned substance in May.
It's rare for teams to select players in the supplemental draft, if only because they lose a corresponding selection in the next year's April draft. So the Redskins, which took Jarmon in the third round of the supplemental draft, will lose their third-round pick next year.
It's no surprise that Morley wasn't selected, either, after being dismissed this spring by new head coach Lane Kiffin. Although Morley can still sign a free agent deal, that's unlikely. NFL teams begin training camp in a few weeks, and most rookies have been involved with mini-camps and OTAs since late April and early May.

Five incumbents cross-filed, as Democrats and Republicans, and entered races for both four- and two-year seats on the Greater Johnstown school board.
Nobody else appeared on any ballot.
Those candidates – President Richard Unger, Vice President John Berzinsky, Ed Mikesic, Vincent Arcurio and Cynthia Ahlborn – all advanced to this year's general election, following Tuesday's primary.
There are five total open seats: four four-year positions and one two-year post. Therefore, barring unforeseen circumstances, they will all be successful in the fall and return to the school board in January 2014.
Unger complimented the board members who sought re-election.
"This board is probably the best board that I've been on," Unger said. "There are no yes men on this board. If we disagree, I tell them what I think and they tell me what they think. We will always come up with what is best for our community and students."
In the race for four-year seats, Mikesic finished as the leading candidate on the Republican side with 453 votes, placing him one ahead of Unger's 452, according to unofficial results at Cambria County's election website.
Arcurio ended up first on the Democratic list with 1,382. Ahlborn's 151 votes topped the Republican field in the two-year race. Arcurio's 577 led the Democratic field.
Asked about the lack of competition for the incumbents, Unger said, "It's freedom of choice, but I can't understand what (any opponent's) platform would even be. We've been very committed to a platform for the community and students."
The four-year seats were open as part of a regular election cycle.
The two-year position became vacant with the death of former board member Raymond Arcurio in June 2012.
Ahlborn was appointed to the board as a replacement until the position could be put on the ballot this year.

text: On Thursday, the Blues and former President John Davidson parted ways as the two sides agreed to a buyout. His contract had three years and just over six million dollars remaining. This report comes only two days after St. Louis laid off roughly 20 workers as a result of the lockout, and reveals that this could be a move to lower the payroll. Further, the St. Louis Post-Dispath reported that Davidson had been in talks with the Blue Jackets about a front office job in Columbus. It would make sense that he would be interested in the Columbus rebuilding process, as Davidson helped to create this Blues team from scratch when he arrived seven years ago.

Shorewood apartments sell for $16.1 million
The 218-unit East Brook Village apartments in Shorewood have been sold for $16.1 million, according to documents filed with the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds.
The apartment community, based at 4454 N. Wilson Drive, was sold to Eastbrook Village LLC, led by David Karademas, who operates Karademas Management. The seller was Daniel Bruckner, who's reorganizing his finances under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
In May, Bruckner sold 290 apartments on Milwaukee's south side for $11.1 million to a group led by investor Scott Lurie.

"Your cheating!!!! You are using a FING lag switch!!! You are glitching!!!! I am reporting you for cheating because nobody can do that well with a shot gun!!!!" From an "adult" that thought he was 12 because I went like 30 something and 5 ish on Dome with a USAs.!

Going 30-7 in dome. Running my arse off around the map. I couldn't have stayed in one spot for longer than 10 seconds
You F**kin camper. You're sh*t bla bla bla. The fact that i'd killed this guy 14 times made it all the sweeter.

Just last night I was called a no life on these forums by a person who had done the prestige token glitch. I caught him and he got very angry.
I dont get to much hatemail in the game. Other than being called a hacker at rare times. I tend to avoid tactics the ppl get mad at. I hardly run assassin, only ran support a lil only to get a few titles and emblems. For the most part I dont wait for ppl when I know they are coming. Have only use final stand to get the emblem but not even close.
5. Re: Greatest Insult Ever Bestowed Upon YouBLLDWG23 Feb 20, 2012 7:08 AM (in response to thisguygotcha)
I saw where you caught the token glitcher. Good Job!!! I guess these kids don't realise you can go on ELITE and look and see what they are doing. And then they want to defend what they are doing like it's their right to be able to glitch and cheat. Mind blowing.

Being Welsh, the ''insult'' I get the most is most is ''f**k off you sheep shagger''. As I tell them, be more original, not like I haven't heard that one before. It is always a last resort as they have nothing left to call me. People get upset when they get beaten by someone with a pump action shotgun.

Have chosen to work
The July 30 article, "Teens work through the heat" encouraged and inspired me.
These days, one often hears about young people growing up not knowing how to work hard or be useful on a job.
These seven teenagers, however, have chosen to make good use of their younger years by working under the guidance of dedicated teachers.
I commend the young people for being willing to challenge themselves in order to learn and grow.
I also commend the founders and leaders of this work team for their investment in the next generation.
Young people can gain so much from the instruction of mentors and teachers.
It can be a wonderful learning experience to work under the leadership of an adult who really cares about the development of one's skills.
I thank the Record-Eagle for bringing this program to the attention of the community.
We can all learn much from the initiative of those involved in this program.
If more adults are willing to teach, and more young people are willing to work and learn, then we can have an amazingly well-equipped, productive generation of workers in the future.

Traverse City
Essential to our security
Construction began this week on the restoration of Pine and State streets from Front to Union in downtown Traverse City.
Hopefully, someone had the foresight to check with Homeland Security.
For years that two-block stretch of road has been designated a tank-trap absolutely essential to the security of the city.

Wait for the check
If, as Obama states, that someone else is responsible for the success of a business, then that someone else, the government with its roads, bridges and services, must be responsible for drug running, gun walking, robberies, abductions, hit-and-run accidents, access to prostitution, suicides from bridges and flat tires.
If this is the Obama philosophy, then I recommend he go to his office, sit at his desk, have a TV brought in, order a pizza, wait for his monthly government check and let someone else get him elected.
He could also spend more time at the golf course.

Sid vicious the twenty-one-year-old former Sex Pistol accused of murdering his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, was found dead in a Greenwich Village apartment on February 2nd, less than twenty-four hours after he was released from prison on $50,000 bail.
Vicious was found lying face up in bed in the apartment of Michelle Robinson, described by police as a "lady friend" of Vicious, at about 12:30 p.m. by Robinson and Vicious' mother, Ann Beverly. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the New York City morgue. Police said the cause of death was a drug overdose. No other details were available at press time.
Vicious came into the public eye when he began playing bass for England's premier punk-rock band, the Sex Pistols, in early 1977. About a year later, after an abbreviated American tour that led to the dissolution of the band, Vicious overdosed on pills and alcohol during a flight from Los Angeles to New York and had to be hospitalized. After returning to England, he cut a single, "My Way," which rose to the Top Twenty on the British charts. Then in August, he and Spungen moved to New York City.
On October 12th, Vicious was arrested and charged with the fatal stabbing of Spungen in the Chelsea Hotel. Five days later he was released on $50,000 bail posted by Virgin Records, Vicious' British label. He remained free until December 8th, when he was remanded to Rikers Island prison after allegedly assaulting Todd Smith, brother of rock singer Patti Smith, in a Manhattan rock club. He remained in Rikers until February 1st.
The day Vicious was released from prison, his lawyer, James M. Merberg of F. Lee Bailey's law firm, unsuccessfully filed a motion to dismiss the murder charges. "I thought he had a real good case," Merberg said. "We were prepared to go to trial soon and offer a not-guilty plea instead of a psychiatric defense."
According to Merberg, Vicious was no longer addicted to heroin, as he had been when arrested for Spungen's murder. "He was a little bit of a mixed-up kid," Merberg said, "but yesterday he was absolutely straight as an arrow. He was detoxed from everything, including methadone."
