jamie says the skys the limit, so if we get to 38,000 they better make room for 38,001
Season ticket capacity: 38,000 seats for season ticket holders (including students), 4000 for visitors ticket allotment, another 4000 for tent parties. This gives the 46,000 permanent seats in the stadium. So we could sell 38,000 permanent seat season tickets. Of course we now sell hillside season tickets, and the hills can hold around 10,000 more. So theoretically maybe 48,000 season tickets, however I don't think that we sell a ton of hillside season tickets. We will likely found out about that number at the Iowa game seeing as anybody on the hillside would likely be a hillside season ticket holder.
56,721 is the limit on Jack Trice. 46,721 for the stadium and 10,000 for hillside (2500 on each corner). The fire marshall wont allow any more. Once the south endzone is bowled in we should be capable of 60,000.
i wanna hit 56,712 so we can say the fire marshall wont let us bring anymore people in...
Originally Posted by ISUclones33 i wanna hit 56,712 so we can say the fire marshall wont let us bring anymore people in... I honestly wont be suprised if it happens this year. We had 55,518 for UNI last year, only need 1,194 more. I definitely think we will at least break the record again this year.
I would really love to see ISU sell about 40,000 season tickets. It would be great to see the Clones begin to turn things around again, and make the state of Iowa look better than it has. Plus, being a student, it's a lot more fun watching them win than it is watching them lose.
Let's all pledge that if 40K season tickets are sold, we'll each give $500 to the athletic department! (We could even send a letter to Jamie letting him know this will happen)
Where does it say that there are 5000 new season ticket holders at this point?
"You can observe a lot by watching" ~Yogi Berra
Wow, I love seeing the fans step up to the plate! I've been pushing hard for fellow fans back here (eastern Iowa) to consider buying tickets or at least joining the NCC. It's crazy there are so many ISU grads in the area that don't give anything.
if you wanna have us pledge 500 to the athletic department, why dont we all buy a few more season tickets and give them away, UNTIL we get to 40,000 I honestly dont think the excitement could be any higher, i know alot of fans will be dissapointed because we probably wont win 10 games, but i will be estatic with a bowl game again, and then up and up from there
I just wish the "other" cyclone fans could see the excitement of these message boards

Statement from The International Indigenous Women's Forum on International Human Rights Day
Posted on: Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Keywords: UN, Human Rights Advocacy, Indigenous Rights
Myrna Cunningham, Chairperson of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and longtime MADRE supporter, put out the following statement on International Human Rights Day.
10 December 2011
Today, December 10 - International Human Rights Day, we want to acknowledge the hard work of millions of indigenous women who in adverse conditions, hit with multiple forms of violence contribute with their resilience capabilities to the lives of their people's. To them we dedicate this day, to the defenders of the rights of indigenous women who run enormous risks to do their job.
Indigenous peoples have fought for centuries against genocide, displacement, colonization, and forced assimilation, preserving their cultures and identities as distinct peoples. The ongoing attack has left Indigenous communities among the poorest and most marginalized in the world, alienated from State politics and disenfranchised by national governments.
Human rights and the very survival of indigenous peoples around the world are threatened by policies predicated on racism, exclusion, and worldviews that are inimical to indigenous life. In many parts of the world, a centuries-long attack on indigenous peoples has escalated in recent years, as States and corporations scramble for control of the Earth's dwindling supply of natural resources-many of which are located on Indigenous territories.
In order change this reality; on September 13, 2007 the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was adopted by the General Assembly. It set a standard for the treatment of indigenous peoples around world and functioned as a significant tool towards eliminating human rights violations.
At the moment, indigenous women face human rights violation of near-universal scope, which are mediated in each case by aspects of identity beyond gender, including race, class, caste, religion, sexual orientation, geography, and ethnicity. For indigenous women, gender-based violence is shaped not only by gender discrimination within Indigenous and non-Indigenous arenas, but by a context of ongoing colonization and militarism; racism, social exclusion and poverty-inducing economic and "development" policies.
For indigenous peoples and indigenous women exercising our rights depend on securing legal recognition of our collective ancestral territories. Our territories are the basis of our identities, our cultures, our economies, and our traditions. Indigenous rights include the right to full recognition as peoples with our own worldview and traditions, with our own territories, our own modes of organization within nation-states; the right to self-determination through our own systems of autonomy or self-government based on a communal property framework; and the right to control, develop, and utilize our own natural resources.
Indigenous peoples have found in the human rights paradigm a cohesive global language, a moral framework, and a legal structure through which to pursue our claims.
Today, December 10, 2011 we celebrate the International Human Rights Day. A day where millions of people claim their inalienable fundamental rights; rights that belong to each of us equally and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values.
International Indigenos Wumen Forum/Foro Internacional de Mujeres Indígenas
We women of the indigenous peoples have struggled actively to defend our rights to self-determination and our territories have been invaded and colonized by powerful nations and interests ...We maintain ethical and aesthetic values, knowledge and philosophy, spirituality that preserve and nurture Mother Earth ...

I canceled my debit card, thinking it had probably fallen out of my purse while I was drunk, and thought nothing of it until my bank statement arrived, a thousand dollars short of what it should have been.

'The Bachelor' Bonus Videos: The Cost of Finding Love is Losing Your Mind
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Meghan Carlson
Senior Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
Last night on
The Bachelor,
one woman
got dumped in the middle of the group date
for "not taking it seriously" (Samantha, at right, in all her poise and strength), and two of the women -- Emily and Courtney -- caused trouble of their own by taking this thing a little TOO seriously. Emily tried and failed to warn Ben about Courtney's two-faced ways, and all she got in return was a disappointed lecture from the Bachelor and a new laser-eyed, forked-tongued enemy in Courtney. And while Courtney doesn't seem to mind all the hate coming her way and can still do no wrong in Ben's eyes, even if she gets the guy, she's definitely losing in the court of public opinion right now.
But that's the price of trying to find love on television. Even when you're "winning," you're losing. Below, check out deleted scenes from last night's episode and a sneak peek at next week's, when the competition will get even tougher, thanks to Courtney, who's once again reveling in being so reviled:
Deleted Scene: Blakeley Worried Ben.
Ben was confused that, after he gave the group date rose to the most hated girl in the house, Blakeley gave him the cold shoulder rather than kiss his ass when the date ended. For a guy dating 13 of them at once, Ben still has a lot to learn about women. And Blakeley has a lot to learn about picking out earrings and active listening.
Diaries of the Departed: Two Crying Blondes. Samantha
doesn't know why she can't find love. Maybe it's because she can't find someone who "gets" or can "handle" her complex blend of insecurity and cluelessness. Meanwhile,
doesn't think anything went wrong with her and Ben. She just doesn't know what went right with him and everybody else. Whatever that means. Also, she's "indifferent" to whether he picks Courtney, except for how she thinks it's a wrong decision and wouldn't last. Very indifferent.
The Bachelor
This video reminds me of a quote.
"Love is hiding who you really are at all times, even when you're sleeping. Love is wearing makeup to bed, and going downstairs to the Burger King to poop, and hiding alcohol in perfume bottles. That's love.
" - Jenna,
30 Rock
$#*! Girls Say on
The Bachelor
: The Meme That Wouldn't Die.
This one is pretty self-explanatory. And while it's a relief to learn that many girls DID, in fact, say "I'm not here to make friends," I am angry that none of those quotes have yet made it to air. It's not really "sh*t girls say on
The Bachelor
" if the sh*t that got said never makes it onto
The Bachelor.
Week 5 Preview: Puerto Rico Turns Petty and Raunchy.
Lastly, check out the preview clips for next week's episode, when Courtney will steal Ben away for their highly anticipated "sizzling tryst," a surprise skinny-dipping trip.
And risky, when the other women find out.
Running in the rain, kissing in the dark, screaming on a yacht ... and backstabbing in the buff. What more could you ask for?
The Bachelor
airs Mondays at 8pm on ABC.

Jim Crawford of StrangeCo says: "I wanted to show you the new figure we're premiering at the NY toy fair next week. Thought you might be interested.
"It's called "Mr. Bumper", and it's a larger-sized limited edition vinyl, maybe 7 inches in length. The chassis of the vehicle actually lifts off of the driver, revealing that he's not actually driving a sentient amphibian, but is in fact an 8-legged frog wearing an ornate cowl. This is a prototype; the gloss on the final version will be a little toned down."

Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro: The everyday supercar
When we last left our hero, I was putting the kibosh on the track session in the Audi S4 and had just been handed the keys to the Audi R8 5.2 FSI Quattro, affectionately known as the R8 V-10.
Taking a walk around the R8, I took note of the supercar's low-slung good looks and sporty proportions. Externally, the R8 V-10 can be visibly discerned from the V-8 model in a few ways. The R8's trademark sideblades receive flared intakes to help the larger engine to breathe. The front and rear bumper vents have been enlarged and finished in a glossy piano black. The HID Xenon headlamps have been replaced with the world's first production full-LED arrays. Most obviously, chrome "V10" badges on the front fenders let everyone know how many cylinders you're working with.
Under the rear glass, on display for all to see, is the 5.2-liter direct injected 10-cylinder gasoline engine. Not only does this power plant have two more cylinders and a full extra liter over the V-8, but it also gains a whopping 105 horsepower and 74 pound-feet of torque. The result is a complete transformation of the nature of the vehicle, whether cruising a back road or barreling, flat-out down the back straight of your favorite racetrack.… Read more

Calculating Umpires' Stats, Home Plate Edition
If there's one thing baseball fans can agree on this postseason, it's that the officiating has been below par. From calls getting blown down the line, on the bases, and over the plate - just about everywhere a call can be blown, really - the umpires have made a number of high-profile mistakes in these first two rounds. Some of these mistakes have been more damaging than others, of course, in terms of their impact on the final score, but that does not make any of them any more forgivable. For those of us who expect to see the best teams and best umpires working in October, it has been disheartening to say the least.
With each bad call, the umps have invited more and more scrutiny upon themselves: Who are the guys making the calls? How did they get chosen? Now that they're on the biggest stage, are they making the right calls? These are questions that we just can't get out of our heads. We baseball fans are a demanding bunch and when we fixate on an issue, we'll dig deep in an effort to understand and analyze it.
Which brings me to this post: there's been a lot of talk, especially in the past week, about looking at umpires' performance through their stats. Or, more accurately, through the stats the players on the field put up while that particular umpire is working. With all of the information available at our fingtertips in this day and age, it's almost surprising that we can't break down an umpire's performance on an individual basis. So I set out to change that this weekend. This is a huge problem to take-on, however, so it'll have to be done in stages. My first step was to look at the stats of the current home plate umpires.
(View the Home Plate Umpire data. Download the Home Plate Umpire data.
Click "Read More" to continue reading.)
Using the current Retrosheet database (which still only goes through the 2008 season), I found all umpires who worked the plate 10 or more times last year. I then went through the database and gathered all relevant stats from the games the each umpire worked behind the plate between the years of 1998 and 2008. These are the "Umpires' Stats". Why did I only go back 11 years? Well, besides the fact that I didn't want to wait three weeks for all 55 years of Retrosheet data to be calculated, I wanted to make sure that the data were showing modern umpire tendencies. With MLB's expansion to 30 teams in '98, the increased offense, the bandbox stadiums, the tight strike-zone, QuesTech, and the umpire strike of 1999 (which resulted in 22 umps getting canned), among others, a lot has happened in the last 10 or 12 years to affect the way umpires call games. It seemed to make sense, then, to focus only on those years.
With the "umpires' stats" calculated, we could now take a look at an individual umpire to see how many plate appearances he umped per game, or how many balls and strikes he called per plate appearance. Without more information, though, we wouldn't be able to do much with it. How could we know, for example, that Umpire X's tendency to rack up a lot of strikeouts per nine innings was a result of a wide strikezone and not merely because he was behind the plate for too many Tim Lincecum and Justin Verlander starts? Without knowing the performance of the pitchers that Umpire X saw in games that someone else was behind the plate, there are very few conclusions that we can draw. So I went ahead and made those calculations. For every pitcher that a particular ump called in a given year, I went through the database and gathered all relevant stats from the games in which the pitcher pitched in and in which Umpire X was not behind the plate. These are the "Pitchers' Stats."
I invite everyone to take a peak at these stats, or download them for yourself. I'm not the most sophisticated statistician - I have no doubt that there's a lot more that can be done with this data than I'm doing here. If you have the means, I hope you do just that. I just thought it'd be nice to give everyone the data to work with. (View the Home Plate Umpire data. Download the Home Plate Umpire data.)
Here's a sample of the data. Like I said, I'm confident others can figure out better ways to look at this, but this is what I can show you right now.
MLB announced their six-man crew for the World Series late last week. Here's the data from 1998 through 2008 for each of those six umpires' time behind the plate, compared to the pitchers' stats from that time:
[[This table screwed up the formatting much more than I realized (in Firefox, at least... it's manageable in IE and Chrome), so I'm removing it. You can see the World Series umpires stats comparison here. Sorry for that. I wish there was a better way for me to display bigger tables.]]
There's a lot of information there, I know. But take a few minutes to compare some of these umps' stats. Joe West, for example, gets much fewer strikeouts per nine innings from his pitchers than they normally throw (6.46 vs 6.84), while Brian Gorman gets nearly identical stats all the way across the board (K/9, BB/9, AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA). What strikes me most about this is how consistent the average number of balls and strikes per plate appearance are, as well as the average number of called, swinging, and foul strikes are. The biggest discrepancy in those columns belongs to Gerry Davis, who sees 0.58 called strikes per PA while his pitchers are used to seeing 0.62 called strikes. It's not big, but it's the best we have. It might be something worth watching during the World Series.

Comments about Baudville Celebration Gift Set - Thanks for Making a Difference:
We decided on this item as a speaker gift. It was perfect for expressing appreciation for their contribution to a week of team-building and training. We opened the seal on the box and dropped a few pieces of individually-wrapped gourmet chocolate in the mug as a bonus, then re-taped it. Perfect!
Excellent Quality

About Me Principal
I bought this mug, pen, and note pad set for two volunteers who work tirelessly at our school. The colors were vivid and the quality of the items were excellent. This combo-set allowed me to say a big thanks for an affordable price. I looked elsewhere and found chinsey items that simply looked cheap ~ not a good way to say thank you. I went with Baudvillle and my volunteers said that they felt truly appreciated. The gifts looked like I paid much more than I did. Additionally, I ordered these gifts on Wednesday and they were in my office by Friday afternoon. I love Baudville!
Would buy this again

6 Major SEO Mistakes to Avoid
To be successful as a blogger, you need to have a good understanding of the basics of SEO. This will enable you to steer clear of the following SEO mistakes which can be detrimental to your blog.
1. Over-linking
Many people make the mistake of having excess links in their blogs. Links can be great tools for your readers when used properly. However, when they crowd your page, they can end up being a nuisance. Therefore, use links as sparingly as possible. Make sure the links used offer your readers relevant products or important information which they might need.
2. Keyword stuffing
Including a reasonable number of keywords within your titles or content will enable search engines to find the pages of your site more easily. However, saturating your pages with keywords doesn't work. Instead, you might end up being penalized by search engines. Focus on creating relevant content which includes a few keywords which will help enhance your ranking.
3. Neglecting user experience
Many bloggers focus too much on SEO, and end up forgetting about their reader experience. If your blog is going to be successful, you need to find a balance between SEO and focus on your user experience. For instance, you need to make it easy for people to navigate around your blog or online store. This will make visits to your blog enjoyable for your readers.
4. Wrong naming of images
Readers can get irritated when they see an image displaying text which is irrelevant. Besides, such text has no SEO value. You should therefore take time to find the most appropriate descriptions and title text for your images. When necessary, you could even include a link to the image.
5. Not including tags and meta descriptions
When it comes to SEO, leaving out tags and meta description is a big mistake. Search engines rank your pages according to the keywords used in your description. You should therefore describe your pages in a way that will attract the right audience to your site. Make sure the tags used are also relevant to your page. Good, optimized tags and meta descriptions will enhance your search engine ranking significantly.
6. Failing to protect your brand
Many blog owners outsource services such as managing, promoting or creating content for their blogs. Using the proper provider will ensure that your blog's brand is safeguarded. However, choosing the wrong provider could prove disastrous for your blog. When looking for someone to offer services for your blog, make sure you select a credible provider. Never make the mistake of hiring the lowest bidder to manage, promote or create content for your blog. This might end up jeopardizing your image, as well as that of your blog.
When SEO tactics are over-used, they may end up harming rather than benefiting your blog. Make sure you use SEO tactfully so as to maintain your readers' loyalty without compromising your blog's quality.

agree to all of this article I tried I would gather the fruits now, thanks for sharing
SEO Services company -
Je suis tout à fait d'accord. La sur-optimisation est mal vue, voire même sanctionnée par les principaux moteurs de recherche, notamment Google. Une erreur qui peut coûter cher.
SEO is always an interesting topic to learn. thanks for your sharing. it helpful for me.

Security Compliance Manager 3.0 (SCM 3.0) is a free tool from the Microsoft Solution Accelerator team that enables you to quickly configure and manage your desktops, traditional datacenter, and private cloud using Group Policy and System Center Configuration Manager. In addition to key features from the previous version, SCM 3.0 offers new baselines for Internet Windows Server 2012, Windows 8, and Internet Explorer 10.
SCM provides ready to deploy policies and DCM configuration packs that are tested and fully supported. These baselines are based on Microsoft Security guide recommendations and industry best practices, allowing you to manage configuration drift, address compliance requirements, and reduce security threats. Easily configure computers running the latest Windows® operating systems, Microsoft® Office applications, Windows Internet Explorer®, and Exchange Servers with industry leading knowledge and fully supported tools. You can leverage SCM to import the current configuration of your computers using two different methods: first, you can import Active Directory-based group policies; second, you can import the configuration of a "golden master" reference machine by using the LocalGPO tool to backup the local group policy which you can then import into SCM. Compare your standards to industry best practices, customize them using rich knowledge, and seamlessly create new policies and DCM configuration packs in the user-friendly UI designed to work with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2.
Wiki Articles about SCM:
SCM provides centralized security baseline management features, a baseline portfolio, customization capabilities, and security baseline export flexibility to accelerate your organization's ability to efficiently manage the security and compliance process for the most widely used Microsoft technologies.
Take advantage of the experience of Microsoft security professionals, and reduce the time and money required to harden your environment. This end-to-end Solution Accelerator will help you plan, deploy, operate, and manage your security baselines for Windows® client and server operating systems, and Microsoft applications. Access the complete database of Microsoft recommended security settings, customize your baselines, and then choose from multiple formats—including Excel® workbooks, Group Policy objects (GPOs), Desired Configuration Management (DCM) packs, or Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)—to export the baselines to your environment to automate the security baseline deployment and compliance verification process. Use SCM to achieve a secure, reliable, and centralized IT environment that will help you better balance your organization's needs for security and functionality.
SCM provides the following key features and benefits:
The supported operating systems and requirements to use SCM include:
SCM is intended to work with System Center Configuration Manager 2007 or System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 and the desired configuration management (DCM) feature of that product. Note: You can use the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats (available as a free download) to open, edit, and save documents, workbooks, and presentations in Microsoft Office 2007 file formats. You also can use Microsoft Word or Microsoft Word Viewer (available as a free download) to view Word documents.
Security Compliance Manager (SCM) is just one of the tools provided by the Microsoft Solution Accelerators team. The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and Security Compliance Manager provide tested guidance and automated tools to help you plan, securely deploy, and manage new Microsoft technologies—easier, faster, and at less cost. All are freely available, and fully-supported by Microsoft. Learn more.

The original post of this article was a request for information around SCM1.0. Since this is a wiki, I have moved the original request to this comment and changed the topic to a stub.
EricB, MSFT
I am currently evaluation theSecurtiy Complaince Manager 1.0 as an enterprise wide solution for baselining all end points and servers. It seems very promising in streamlining the compliance management of the organization, whichever standard it may be, as the baselines are customizable.
Has anybody evaluated or used SCM in here? I am sure the answer would be yes :-) ! Would love to share/learn from their experince.

Love him or hate him, take a moment to appreciate Tim Tebow.
You may fall into the faction that finds Tim Tebow annoying and saccharin sweet. How dare he be great at football and be a model citizen? Who does he think he is winning a Heisman as a sophomore and donating his spring break to orphans in the Phillipines?
Let's face it: He is terrible and boring at interviews. He is always "yes sir" and "no sir" when talking to analyists. He always give credit to God (blah) and his teammates (bleh). He thanks his coaches for their gameplan (ralph) and his linemen for their blocking (wretch). Some have even said that he is a bit of a "wad".
Where are the arrest records? Where are the pictures of him being anything but a true gentleman?
Where is the drama?
Tebow has done nothing but maintain a 3.7 GPA while leading his team to a SEC title and a National Title game birth.
He already has a Heisman in his back pocket, and he has the balls to go for another? Seriously, who does this guy think he is?
He is Tim Tebow. He has never asked for acolades. He has never asked for praise, only given it to the man upstairs, his teammates and coaches.
Then he lost (technically, the team lost), and he issued a promise to play harder than any player in America.
Since that day he has led his team on an amazing ride. Led his team. The Gators haven't lost a game since, and have been rolling in their victories. The SEC title against Alabama was the cake, Oklahoma will be the icing.
Last year, Tebow was the first sophomore to win the Heisman. He accounted for a boatload of TDs and yards, but failed to win a title.
This year, he may flip that outcome. His numbers are no longer gaudy, but he is leaps and bounds better as a leader of his team. Maybe that is what makes him so special.
He pleads with Urban Meyer to let him be on special teams, he gets in the face of LB Brandon Spikes to fire up the defense, and more than anything, he instills a beleif in his teammates that he will NOT fail them.
More important than anything else, he has brought a title back to Gainesville, and has one more on the horizon. Win or lose against Oklahoma, he will probably be back again next year. He is living his childhood dream.
He is living the dream of every college football fan in America. Tebow grew up a Gator fan. He considered Alabama, but his heart wouldn't let him go there. He had to don the orange and blue.
Do you remember when you were a kid and you used to toss the ball around in the back yard? Who were you tossing TDs for? That pine tree was Aubrey Hill. The oak tree was Jack Jackson. If I managed to hit the elm, it was a TD to Doering.
Tebow hit those same trees.
Remember that kid who took the team's every loss really, really hard? What if that guy grew into a 240 pound QB with a laser arm but didn't lose an ounce of passion? That guy would be Tim Tebow.
Now imagine he played for your team.
Still hate him?
He is a once in a lifetime athlete that we should all celebrate, no matter what team you follow.
