Last night I decided to bake a Blue Cheese Meatloaf for a group of 9 (at the neighbors house) and it was a huge hit. I was even told by at least one that "it was the best meatloaf I ever had". It had great texture and packed with flavor. The bleu cheese melts into the meatloaf so you don't get an overpowering taste yet it still dresses up the meat in the most wonderful way.
This recipe makes twelve servings
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion. Fry until the onion is translucent (15 minutes).
In a large bowl, mix together fried onions, beef, pepper, salt, dry mustard, bread crumbs, mustard, and light sour cream.
After you have mixed the ingredients very well (use your hands if you have to). Add the
blue cheese and mix in gently.
Pat the mixture down into a 9 x 13inch baking pan
Bake the meatloaf in the oven until it is no longer pink in the center
(1 hour and 5 minutes).
I made mashed potatoes and green beans with almonds as my side dishes. Yummy!!

Rouge Roubaix 2011 Race Report
18th last year, 9th this year, so does that mean I can aim for a top 5 finish next year? No matter what the result though, every person in every category who raced and finished yesterday raced 105 miles through some of the most grueling terrain and roads you can imagine – and all of it taking place under perfect weather conditions deep in the bayou of Louisiana. What an awesome way to kick start the road racing season! Team JuwiFirst-Solar took 1st and 2nd with Jonny Sundt (Kenda Pro Cycling) placing 3rd after crossing a gap of nearly 10 minutes and then suffering an untimely puncture late in the race.
The Details
Mike Olheiser was there with his new team, Team-JuwiFirst-Solar. Other strong teams included Kenda, Snapple, Metro-VW, Plano-PACC, Team La S'port, Herring Gas, and S3. Mike sent two of his riders up the road in the early suicide break as soon as we made it out of the neutral zone. One other rider (Plano-PACC) latched on making it a break of 3. With such a strong team having two riders up the road, there was much more racing at the front before the first dirt section than last year. No team wanted to commit to chasing, though. Instead, teams tried to launch riders off the front to bridge. Most of these moves came back, but eventually a chase group containing Jonny Sundt (Kenda Pro Cycling), Jacob Brewer (Herring Gas), and Scott Kuppersmith (La S'port Cycling) established itself. This was the situation leading into the first dirt section.
The first dirt section
With six riders now off the front in two separate groups, I was still in the pack of maybe 50 riders going into the first dirt section. I had worked (and fought) my way to the front of the group and entered the dirt in 3rd or 4th position. We hit the first dirt/gravel road hard even with a couple of loose sections, but we were able to plow right through and I stayed in the group but had slid back to about 20th position by the time we reached the logging truck. The truck was heavily loaded and moving slowly (2-3 mph), but the problem is that our lead car stopped on the side of the road. So to pass through there was only about a 4 or 5 foot wide space between the logging truck and the lead car. The first few riders made it through, but the richochet effect of slowing down meant that by the time I made it up to the narrow spot between the logging truck and the lead car, we were moving very slowly. During the process of accelerating back up to speed, I came off the back of the group and chased hard for the remaining portion of the dirt road (about 6 miles). The picture below was taken by Adam Falgout somewhere in the first dirt section when I was chasing by myself.

Adam & Erin Falgout Photography www.adamanderinfalgoutphotography.com
I knew that I was expending a lot of energy, but I also wasn't sure if the group was going to slow down after reaching the paved road. The entire time I was chasing, I was riding through the dust and could see the group whenever the road straightened out enough. I looked back periodically and didn't see anyone, although I knew that there would be chase groups forming behind me. When I made it back to the road, I put my head down and drilled it bridging back up to the group with just a couple more minutes of chasing. A few miles later, one more group joined up with us. And I believe that was it as we started to race again with lots of attacks and counter attacks.
The battle of wills between the first dirt section and the second dirt section
The first dirt section ends at mile 35, and the second dirt section doesn't begin until 32 miles later at about mile 67. Last year, this entire section was pretty much cruised at 22-23 mph. This year, we had some real racing earlier on starting from about mile 40 until mile 51 where there were a number of attacks. During this section of the race, our average speed was just under 25mph with lots of attacks and then slow-downs. Tim Henry (Pacesetter Steel) got into a number of solo moves, but nothing would stick. Cesar Grajales (Real Cyclist / On the Rivet) tried to get away, but everybody in the pack was watching him like a hawk. He couldn't go anywhere without the entire field responding. I attacked a couple times, too, but couldn't make a clean break from the field. When that didn't work, I tried a couple roll offs hoping that the group would just let me roll away – not happening. Once it was clear that nothing was getting away, our pace dropped with only a few riders setting tempo. I still held out hope of catching some of the earlier riders, but not if we averaged 18mph so I went to the front and helped ramp up the pace a few times trying to conserve energy, but keep the group moving. Our average pace from mile 51 to mile 67 was 22.5mph.
The second dirt section
It became clear by the time that we approached the start of the second dirt section 67 miles into the race that the early suicide move was going to stick this year as they still had a gap of maybe 10 minutes? What I didn't know at the time is that by the top of Blockhouse Hill, Jonny Sundt (Kenda) had finished bridging across and joined the lead JuwiFirst-Solar pair of riders who had dropped the other rider that was with them. I also didn't know that somewhere during this stretch, both Scott Kuppersmith (Team La S'port) and Jake Brewer (Herring Gas) had come off of the chase group leaving Jonny to finish the bridge alone. Quite impressive!!
Meanwhile, back in our group, I was watching my Garmin as it ticked down the miles until the lefthand turn onto the second dirt section. I was able to move all the way to front with less than a half mile to the turn. Then when we hit the turn, I entered in about 3rd or 4th wheel. This second dirt section starts out with a mix of paved road, dirt road, gravel road, and potholes. So it is crazy fast leading into Blockhouse Hill, which is 0.6miles long @ 7.8% with really steep pitches in the middle. The entire climb is loose dirt and gravel. Last year, I had to walk it when a rider fell over in front of me, and it was too steep to remount. This year, I was near enough to the front that I was with all the riders who are capable of riding the climb, and we were able to fly right up it (11.4 mph average speed with heartrate of 187). During this crazy-fast ascent, Mike Olheiser and Cesar Grajales separated themselves with maybe a 20-30 second advantage. Immediately behind them, Christian Helmig (Metro-VW), another rider from Metro-VW, and a Bissell Pro Cycling rider coalesced into a chase group by the top. I was just barely off this group by about 5 seconds. I chased for about a mile on the dirt before I was able to catch them. We started working together even before we made it out of the dirt section to try to chase down Mike and Cesar. We could always see them just ahead, and it looked like we were gradually closing down the gap. I was at my limit pretty much the whole time with an average heart rate of 178 for that entire chase (almost 15 miles!). Then as we approached the third dirt section, the gap really started to came down. We got stuck behind about four cars that had lined up behind the follow-car. It was almost like the race caravan at a pro stage race.
The third dirt section
We were getting ready to go around the cars when we realized that we had made it to the start of the third dirt section. We had to wait to see if any of the cars were going to turn left, and that was just enough time for us to not make the bridge to Mike and Cesar, who had turned back on the gas for the dirt. We also lost Christian who was the fastest from our group on the steep initial climb. I struggled on the climb and panicked a bit because I could see Mike, Cesar, and Christian nearing the top of the climb when I was struggling at the bottom. I wanted to go faster, but I couldn't. I was just struggling to stay upright so I hopped off the bike thinking that I could run up it faster than ride up it. As Mike, Cesar, and Christian disappeared out of sight, I thought for sure Christian had made the juncture to finish the race with Mike and Cesar since we were so close (50 meters?) – but it turns out that he never did catch them – which meant that he rode the last 25 miles by himself!
The long finishing section
Meanwhile, we were still pushing it and eventually caught three riders individually over the next 20 miles – Scott Kuppersmith (Team La S'port) and two Plano-PACC riders. Each rider latched onto our group, but all three were pretty cooked after a really long day in breakaways. At this point, I felt like I was pulling the hardest in our group, so I wasn't sure if that was because the other riders were struggling – or if it was because they were saving up for the finish. When my Garmin said we had 3 miles to go, I attacked hard on one of the short steep hills. We lost one of the Plano riders and Scott, but unfortunately for me, it became apparent that the other Metro-VW rider and the Bissell rider were just saving up for the sprint because they had no problem closing the gap to me. So I stopped working hard and started to save energy for the finish. Unfortunately, I didn't save enough energy because the Bissell rider and Metro-VW rider had no problem coming around me in the sprint. The remaining Plano-PACC rider was dropped.
It was during this finishing section that the most unusual thing of the race happened. We were flying around a corner shortly after crossing a cattle guard, when there was a big cow in the middle of the road. We didn't slow down and just went flying right by it within a couple feet of it. I'm glad we didn't spook it enough to charge us or kick!

The Stats
This will probably be the longest race of the year with the most calories burned (4923 calories). The Strava stats indicate a 242 watt average, but that doesn't take into account all the effort on the loose, rocky dirt sections. My heart rate average was 160, which is a couple beats higher than a typical road race. But my typical road races are 20-30 miles shorter than Rouge Roubaix!

More racing and climbing
Climbing – Cheaha Mini-Challenge
On Wednesday, I had an Alabama Academy of Science meeting at Jacksonville State University, which is not too far from the highest point in the state – Mount Cheaha. So, after my morning classes, I drove on over to the foothills just off the interstate and then went for a mini-Cheaha Challenge ride. Here is my route and climbing data from Strava -

Got lots of on-the-bike pictures for the ride. See the gallery after the training race recap below.
Racing – GSMR Camp Sumatanga Training Race #3 – 2nd place!
The training race yesterday (Sunday) at Camp Sumatanga turned out really well for Tria Cycling, with our team taking 1st through 5th place! Of course, we did have half the field on our team (literally) as only 14 people showed up for the race with 7 from my team. A quick race summary is that we tried to animate the race early to get several riders in a break. Eventually, my teammates Sammy and Wes made it into a break with me and Joe from Madison. We worked together, but we didn't crush it because we wanted to see if more of our team could bridge up to us. About a lap into our break, my teammate Justin Bynum bridged up to us by himself. Another half lap later, my teammates Chris and Pat Allison bridged up to us by themselves. So this led to the day's break with 6 of the 7 riders in the break from my team.
At this point, we were trying to figure out how to get a podium sweep because Joe was riding very strong and looked like he could certainly spoil the party on the climb. We had a good rotation going, and everybody (including Joe) worked well together. The temperature was plummeting, and by the time we finished the race it was below freezing (31.7 degrees Fahrenheit on my Garmin). Here's how the last lap played out. We wanted to try to get both of our sprinters up the road well ahead of the climb, but Chris was cramping up so we decided to send Sammy first and then a few miles later send Wes to bridge across. So Wes and Sammy reached the bottom of the climb about the same time, while back in our group Joe was having to set the entire pace. I let him lead us to the first switchback in the climb, but when he started to slow down, I accelerated and took Pat and Justin with me. Joe was dropped after all his earlier work chasing, so Pat, Justin, and I were free to set a hard pace without fear of pulling him back up to Sammy or Wes. We caught Sammy just before the Eagle Eyes Cycles bar/shop about 500 meters from the finish. Pat and I decided no matter what that we were going to give Wes the win if we caught him, but we couldn't catch him because he was crushing the climb. I ended up pulling away just slightly from Pat at the end to finish 2nd (I think because Pat sat up a little early) with Wes crossing the line about 25-50 meters in front of us. Sammy held on for fourth with Justin coming in for 5th in front of Joe giving us a sweep of 1st through 5th place! We started to head back down the climb and turned around when we saw Chris who was still plugging away on the climb despite cramping really bad. We escorted him up the climb for moral support, and then turned around to head back to the start before we froze to death.
Note the temperature in the Garmin Connect data below! Also, the US-231 climb was so beautiful with all the waterfalls from the previous day's heavy rain.

Riding and climbing in the North Georgia mountains
The beautiful view as soon as I arrived at the cabin near Dahlonega.
I spent a weekend of riding and racing in the North Georgia mountains. The Southern Cross race was on Saturday morning (awesome race – read my recap here), so I drove up on Friday. More specifically, I biked to work Friday morning, taught two classes, biked home, and then drove 4 hours to a cabin at the base of the Woody Gap climb just north of Dahlonega. There was still about a couple hours of daylight, so with the excitement of being in the middle of all the beautiful mountains, I got my bike out of the car as fast as possible, changed clothes right there beside the car, and went for a 2 hour ride climbing Woody Gap twice from the south side and once from the north side (much shorter climb) making it back to the cabin just after sunset. So that made for three bike rides and one four hour drive all in the same day.
Here is the iBike data for the two Category 2 (Strava) climbs –
------WOODY GAP (from Damascus Church Rd) ------ Strava: Cat 2 Dist: 9.00 mi (0:41:38) Climbing: 1816 ft Min Avg Max Power 0 260.1 387 W Gravity -520 163.6 485 W Speed 6.9 13.0 35.2 mi/h Wind 12.6 17.1 34.1 mi/h Elev 1514 2272 3242 ft Slope -5.9 3.67 8.4 % HR 133 145.7 159 bpm NP 264 W; IF 0.951; TSS 62.7 2/25/2011 3:37 PM 56 degF; 1017 mbar

And here is the graph for the entire ride:
iBike data for the entire ride.
Sunday's ride was even better with me accomplishing what could be considered a dream of mine from over 15 years ago when a friend of mine asked if I would ride 200 miles with him in preparation for a tour across America that he was going to be doing. Well, he ended up having to back out, but I went ahead and completed the 200 mile ride from Clemson, SC to Brasstown Bald (highest point in Georgia) and then back through the Highlands, NC area. The only problem was that Brasstown Bald summit is not accessible by bike during the peak visiting times. You can either hike up to the top or take a shuttle. But they specifically disallow people from biking to the very top of the mountain. You can bike to the parking lot which is about 350 feet below the true summit, but you cannot bike to the top. I tried three years in a row at the end of each racing season, but I would always get chased down by the park workers. Well, guess what? In the middle of winter, the shuttles don't run to the top, so you can bike up without any problems at all!
So I left our cabin early on Sunday morning, biked over to US 129 and climbed Neels Gap before turning onto GA-180 and climbing Jack's Gap before turning at the top onto the 180-spur which takes you up three very steep miles to the highest point in Georgia. The ride started out kinda blah because it was really humid and warm when the sun was out, but cold whenever the sun went behind a cloud. So I kept on breaking out into a sweat and then getting cold. Plus, my legs were pretty cooked from the Southern Cross race the day before. But as soon as I made it to the Brasstown Bald parking lot and saw that the shuttles weren't running, I knew that I might just have a shot at making it to the top – and I did! Strava categorizes the climb as an HC climb. Here is the elevation and gradient graph from Garmin Training Center:
Brasstown Bald elevation and gradient data.
And here is the Strava stats on the climbs (Neels Gap 2x and Brasstown Bald):
Strava data for the Brasstown and Neels Gap climbs.
And here are two pictures from the summit of the climb:
View looking south from the summit of Brasstown Bald.
The Tour de Georgia queen stage always finished on top of Brasstown Bald.
After having the opportunity to finally make it to the top of Brasstown Bald, I immediately forgot about how bad I had been feeling and thoroughly enjoyed the return trip back to the cabin before driving home to Birmingham. Also, I stopped at Turner's Corner store on the way back and got to talk to the owner, who is on the Six Gap Century committee. His gas station and convenience store is the first rest stop for the Six Gap Century, and there is a corner of the store that is dedicated to biking with all kinds of biking equipment. What a fun adventure in the beautiful North Georgia mountains.
Here are more pictures from the rides on Friday and Sunday:

How much did the chances of North Carolina to reach the Final Four actually drop with the loss of Kendall Marshall? We use data from 28.500 games to find out.

There you have it. The optimistic bracket projections were correct and possibly due to BYU's play day restrictions, Ohio is the No. 13 seed in the Midwest. The Bobcats will face Michigan in Nashville on Friday. This may be a good thing, getting paired with such a guard-dominated team, versus one of the teams of giants that were guessed in the projections. Time to print those brackets. Remember to go with blue jerseys and mammals as mascots.

How do I upload a file to my server?
There are quite a few ways to upload a file to your server at InMotion Hosting. How you upload your files will depend on your preference and your accessibility to the server. In this tutorial, we will explain how to upload a file using the File Manager, FileZilla, and Notepad++. We assume that you know where within your account you need to upload your files. If you're not sure however, please see our article entitled What directory should I put my files in?.
What's the difference between each method
There are reasons why a developer would use File Manager, FileZilla, or Notepad++. The following will explain why you would pick one method or the other.
File Manager (browser based): The File manager is good to use when you are away form your computer and you can access a browser. The File Manager can be accessed from any location. This eliminates the need to install a program like FileZilla or Notepad++.
FileZilla (FTP): FileZilla is good to use for uploading files because it works over port 21 and can upload mass amounts of files all at once.
Notepad++ (Code Editor): Using Notepad++ is a way to upload files while you create the content for them, notepad++ is similar to DreamWeaver in that you can Edit files and upload them through the same interface. This eliminates the need to have an HTML editor and a FTP program at the same time.
How to upload a file through File Manager
- Login into your cPanel.
Go to the File Manager, select the public_html directory and click Go.
- Navigate to the directory you want to upload a file to.
Click the Upload link at the top of the File Manager.
- Browse your local computer for the file you want to upload.
- Select the file and click Open.
- Close the Upload files page. Refresh your File Manager by clicking the Reload link at the top middle of the File Manager.
You should see the file listed in the File Manager now.
How to upload With FTP using FileZilla
FileZilla has the ability to upload files from your computer to your server with us. The Left side is the" Local Site" and the Right is the "Remote Site". The "Local Site" is your where your computer files are located. The "Remote Site" is the location of the files on the server. Below is how to upload a file using FileZilla.
- Connect to your server with FileZilla.
- Navigate your files in the third window on the left underneath the "Local Site:" box where its says"Filename".
- The Window to the right of it is the "Remote Site" directory. Navigate to the folder where you want to upload the file/folder to in the "Filename" Window underneath the "Remote Site" window.
Drag the file you want to upload to the server from the "Local Site" to the "Remote Site".
The File will upload and you will see the file in the list of files in the directory where you dragged the file to.
Using a program like Notepad++
Notepad++ is a program that allows you to edit your site and upload and create files on the server. It is similar to HTML editor programs like Edit Plus or DreamWeaver. Below will explain how to create a file on your server with Notepad++.
- Connect to your server with Notepad++.
- In the NppFTP Window on the right side of Notepad++, navigate to the folder you want to upload a file to. Right click the folder and select "Upload other file here. . .".
- Browse the server for the file you want to upload. Select the file and Click open.
Now you will see the file in the folder location on the server.

Hello Tony,
While you will not upload files to your browser as it lives on your local machine, you can set up some code to allow you to upload files and images to your hosting account. We do not currently have an article with this code, but there is a good tutorial at W3Schools that goes over this for you.
Kindest Regards,

I upgraded to ACAD LT 2011 when my trusty AutoSketch wouldn't migrate to Win7 64 bit.
1. Is there a good instruction reference/manual for someone without a strong CAD background?
2. How does ACADLT 2011 handle symbols libraries? Are any included with the program?
3. Who knows of good libraries of:
A. Hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, anchors, etc.
B. Structural Steel Shapes (W-Beames, tubes, channels, angles, etc.)
Thank you,
Solved! Go to Solution.
Paul, I am also new to ACad 2011.
I have NO commercial motivation in the following:
I bought "Mastering AutoCad 2011", by George Omura, and am finding it useful.
I really like the online tutorials on Lynda.com. There are several ACad 2011 tutorials by Jeff Bartels.
Google for steel shapes and hardware. You will find many.
Also search the Dynamic Block forum. There are many steel shapes posted there that can be downloaded. The attached may or may not help you.
Type TP at the Command line and explore what is there. There may be a few symbols and blocks that meet your needs.
Dynamic Block Forum:
Please mark any response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your question.
Thank you. I ordered the book on your recommendation and partly because an Amazon reviewer wrote that he uses it for ACADLT while his son uses it for ACAD.
The Lynda.com tutorials also look helpful, but I need to confirm something:
Am I right to assume that ACAD & ACADLT are so similar that I can use many lessons from ACAD for ACADLT?
Thanks again,
Thank you. This is what I was looking for.
The issue in loading Autosketch onto a new Win7 computer is that the new computer is 64-bit. I had no trouble loading it onto a Win7 32-bit notebook, but it was to hard to use with the small monitor.
Thank you for the links...they are quite helpful.
Lessons in regard to the basic functioning of the program and how to create a Drawing, Layout, Template, Lines, Circles, Arcs, Blocks, Text, Dimensions, etc., and all the basic drawing stuff.
The most likely thing that will happen is that you will read about this wonderful command in Full AutoCAD that you cannot wait to tryout and it will not be available in LT.
Please mark any response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your question.
Thanks. Basics is all I need or can handle now and for the foreseeable future.
Check back again when you get stuck.
We are all glad to help.

Major League Baseball contributes to gulf coast rebuilding efforts with special program prior to game three of the World Series
Home Builds, Special Pre-Game Show Support Habitat for Humanity
For the first time in its history, Major League Baseball will use a World Series game as the platform for a comprehensive charitable program to raise funds and awareness in support of an ongoing initiative between Major League Baseball and Habitat for Humanity International.
Under the banner "Major League Baseball Rebuilds," MLB will spearhead an effort to build new homes for some residents of the Gulf Coast region who lost everything as a result of Hurricane Katrina. The program will take place at a location near Minute Maid Park in Houston, the site for Game Three of the 2005 World Series. In addition, the television broadcast of Game Three, which will air nationally by FOX Sports and be shown around the globe via MLB International, will feature a special rebuilding theme.
"As the national pastime, Major League Baseball is committed to giving back to our communities in need and there is no greater stage to highlight that mission than the World Series," said Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. "In the wake of these devastating hurricanes, the baseball community joined together and took immediate action to aid victims in the Gulf Coast region, but the need to support the many people affected by this natural disaster remains a great task. Through this initiative, and with the help of our fans around the world, we hope to help the rebuilding and revitalization of the Gulf Coast region."
"The support and awareness Major League Baseball and its member teams are bringing to our efforts to bring housing and hope to hurricane-affected families brings new meaning to term 'home run,'" said Jonathan Reckford, Chief Executive Officer of Habitat for Humanity International. "Our country's national pastime and helping families in need of a simple decent place to call home are a natural fit, the very best of work and play for purpose."
Major League Baseball and Habitat for Humanity will build eight houses during the World Series to benefit families that lost everything as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The eight houses, representing each of the eight MLB Clubs in the 2005 postseason, will be constructed on the plaza of the George R. Brown Convention Center, adjacent to Minute Maid Park, in Houston from October 25 – 27. A number of Major League Baseball and Club executives, current and former players and celebrities will join Habitat for Humanity volunteers in constructing the homes. In addition to the builds during the World Series, Major League Baseball and its Club will construct additional houses in local MLB markets throughout the off-season. More than 20 homes are scheduled to be built for the Gulf Coast region by Opening Day 2006.
During the Game Three telecast on FOX Sports, Major League Baseball and FOX will encourage fans watching at home to assist in the rebuilding effort. The broadcast will highlight ways in which fans can donate to Habitat for Humanity, including displaying the telephone number (1-800-HABITAT) and the Habitat for Humanity Web site (www.habitat.org [1]) during the game.
The Game Three pre-game show, which will focus on the Habitat for Humanity rebuilding effort, will include a performance of the new single "Heart of America" by Eric Benét, Michael McDonald, Wynonna Judd, Terry Dexter and The First Full Gospel Choir of New Orleans. The song, inspired by the devastation caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, recently was released on Reprise/Friday Records and proceeds from the single will be donated to the Habitat for Humanity Gulf Coast rebuilding effort. Following the "Heart of America" performance, Michael McDonald will sing the U.S. National Anthem.
The recipient of the 2005 Roberto Clemente Award, who will be named at a press conference prior to Game Three, will be introduced on field during the pre-game ceremony. Major League Baseball planned many of its relief and rebuilding efforts to coincide with events honoring the nominees for the Roberto Clemente Award, which annually recognizes the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball both on and off the field. The award is named for Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente, who lost his life while on a mercy mission to help earthquake victims in Nicaragua on New Year's Eve 1972. On Sept. 7, Major League Baseball organized in-stadium collection drives to benefit Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in conjunction with the annual League-wide celebration of Roberto Clemente Day.
Major League Baseball began its support for the Gulf Coast rebuilding effort with a $1-million donation to Habitat for Humanity on Oct. 4. In addition, collection boxes for fan donations have been placed at the gates of all postseason games, and will continue throughout the Fall Classic. Contributions also can be made online through a link from MLB.com [2] to the Habitat for Humanity Web site, habitat.org [3].

Midland Trail charged its way to a fresh beginning in its first game of the new year.
The Patriot boys, who had struggled to a 2-2 start in the 2013 portion of their basketball schedule, exhibited signs of life with a 49-46 upset of previously undefeated Valley Saturday night.
"Huge, huge (win) for confidence," Midland Trail coach Curtis Miller said after his team battled back from a nine-point third-quarter deficit by outpointing the Greyhounds 22-10 in the pivotal fourth quarter. "We've been playing awful, not well at all.
"Now we need to keep it rolling."
Miller credited the victory to the six charges his defense took against the athletic Greyhounds.
"We've been preaching all week in practice about charges," Miller said. "They (Valley) like to put their head down and go because they're athletic.
"We took 'em (charges) tonight, and that turned the game around."
Two of those charges came in the fourth period via the defense of Ryan Wilson. Trail couldn't convert after Wilson's first play, but it did after Wilson planted himself in the lane and forced a foul call on Valley guard Henry Barron-Houchins. On the ensuing possession, Midland Trail's Rickie Carter was fouled and canned both free throws to put Trail (3-2) ahead 47-43 with 13.1 seconds left.
Valley's Donte Wilkerson buried a long 3-point goal six seconds later, but after the Patriots' Collin Carte made two charity tosses with 5.6 ticks left, Wilkerson misfired on another trey at the buzzer as Midland Trail escaped with the upset.
"We couldn't put the ball in the basket," lamented Valley coach Joe McCoy, whose team on numerous occasions missed putback opportunities in close. "Down the stretch, we forced a couple of shots we shouldn't have shot, and we turned it over too many times.
"The kids could have overlooked Midland Trail; it could have been that. But if you don't put the ball in the basket, you're not going to win. Hopefully this is a wakeup call. On any given night, any team can beat you."
Valley played without leading scorer Zac Warden, sitting out the first of a two-game suspension due to an ejection in a holiday tournament at Sissonville, which the Greyhounds won.
"We missed Zac inside, and his presence on the outside helps too," said McCoy. "I think these boys realize tonight we need him (Warden)."
Trailing 40-36 after a deuce by Valley's Druw Bowen with 4:49 to play, Midland Trail began its final push. The Patriots' Seth Crosier canned a deuce from the right elbow, then teammate Steven Blume stripped the ball and converted on the other end for a 40-40 deadlock with 3:40 to go.
The visitors took their first lead of the game, 44-43, on a Collin Carte drive with 52.2 seconds left. Valley could never regain the lead.
"We had more energy down the stretch," said Miller, who teaches at Valley. "I think they got tired.
"Even though they were down a player, everybody thought we'd roll over for them. We became a team tonight."
Despite its poor shooting, Valley (4-1) led 16-4 on Keyshawn Payne's two-pointer off a Raeshawn Breckenridge feed late in the first quarter. The lead ballooned to 23-9 on Barron-Houchins' two freebies following a Trail turnover at the 5:02 mark of the second.
The Patriots responded, though, and reeled off the last 11 points of the second frame to trim the deficit to three, 23-20, at halftime. Blume drilled a 3-pointer to start the rally, and teammate Gus Ellison ended it with another trey with 1:54 left.
Carter collected 15 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Midland Trail effort. Blume followed with 13 points and six boards, and Carte scored 11 points, including a 9 of 10 showing from the free-throw line.
Barron-Houchins tallied 15 for the Greyhounds. Payne added 10 and Bowen nine.
In the junior varsity contest, Midland Trail earned a 51-42 verdict.
For the Patriots, Larry Cavett tallied a team-high 16 points. Others in the scoring column were: Austin Keeney, 9; Dillon Harper, 7; Matt Skaggs, 8; Branden Brown, 4; Steven Blume, 2; and Jared Stover, 5.
Nicholas Morrison scored a game-high 18 points for VHS. Other scorers were: Zach Wilkerson, 9; Tyler Price, 9; Damaria Davis, 2; Ethan Lopetrone, 2; and Jaylun Craig, 2.
Midland Trail was slated to play at Meadow Bridge last night.

G'day and congrats on acquiring that new to you 100. Although the server is primarily focused on Cubs we do have some information on Super A/AV which is the forerunner of the 100 and we do have the Preventive Maintenance manuals... hopefully those may be of use to you.

text: Student Health Billing Billing at the Drexel Student Health Center will change as of January 1, 2013. As of January 1, 2013, the Center will begin billing the students' health insurance plan for all services including office visits, immunizations, physicals, lab draws, allergy shots, etc. The co- payment at the time of visit will be the fee determined by your insurance company. It is usually indicated on your insurance card. If you have questions about your insurance coverage, please call the customer service phone number listed on the back of your insurance card. If you do not have your insurance card, call your health insurance plan and ask them the co-pay amount for primary care office visits. The Center will collect your co-pay at the time of visit. This can be in the form of cash, check or credit card. If you have HMO insurance, and would like the cost of your Center visit to be covered by your insurance, you will need to make Drexel Student Health Center your primary care provider. Please be aware that if you have not met the deductible for your insurance policy, your insurance company may not cover the cost of your visit at the Center and you will be responsible for the charges. All Drexel students are required to have health insurance, and it is important for you and your family to review your current coverage. Otherwise without insurance coverage you will be considered self pay and will be responsible for the full cost of the office visit. Please bring the following to all of your visits to the Drexel Student Health Center: Your Drexel ID Your health insurance card or information A form of payment for co-pay or fees Women's Care Center (WCC) offers a low cost/sliding fee option for birth control, STD screening/ treatment, and PAP smears.

Reduced cost STD screening for men and women is also available during WCC hours, between 5:00-6:00 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Who wants to be a $500 millionaire?
The jackpot for Wednesday's Powerball drawing is estimated at $500 million, a record-breaking figure for the multi-state lottery game.
Last year, Joseph and Celeste Tamburello of Tinton Falls won Powerball with a winning ticket from the Little Silver Family Pharmacy worth $70 million.
While there is no question $500 million is a pile of money, it isn't a record for U.S. lottery games. That title goes to the Mega Millions jackpot of $656 million that was split among three players in March, says CNN.
Wednesday's jackpot has grown to a record pot because no one has matched the winning numbers in 15 straight drawings. The numbers for Saturday's $325 million drawing were 22, 32, 37, 44, 50 and Powerball 34.
Powerball is played in 42 states, including New Jersey, as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Interested in buying a ticket for Wednesday's drawing? Here is "how to play" information from the New Jersey Lottery website:
Powerball is a combined large jackpot game and a cash game. Every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. EST, five white balls are drawn out of a drum with 59 balls and one red ball out of a drum with 35 red balls. Draw sales cut off at least 59 minutes before the draw.
Players win by matching one of the 9 Ways to Win. The jackpot (won by matching all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball) is either an annuitized prize paid out over 29 years (30 payments) or a lump sum payment. Each ticket costs $2. If the winner chooses the annuity, the annual payment will be increased each year by the percentage set out in the Powerball game rules.
The second prize (won by matching five white balls in any order) is $1,000,000 paid in cash and any time you match the red Powerball, you win. The overall odds of winning a prize in the game are approximately 1 in 32.
The cutoff for buying tickets for Wednesday's drawing is 10 p.m. Wednesday.
To find a local retailer, vist the New Jersey Lottery website.
Good luck!

How to Solve 9 Sleep Problems
Expert advice for anyone who tosses and turns at night.
The Night WakerHer challenge: After a stressful breakup two years ago, Meredith Crowell, 40, a single real estate property manager and yoga instructor from Boulder, Colorado, would wake up in the middle of the night filled with sadness and anxiety. But even after she felt better emotionally, the sleep troubles continued. Although she typically falls asleep easily around 10:30 p.m., she is wide awake three or four hours later. She falls back into a fitful sleep, then gets up around 6 a.m. to begin her day. "I never wake feeling well rested, because it feels like I don't get more than about four hours of truly deep sleep," she says. To no avail, Meredith has tried myriad remedies―warm baths, hot milk, a glass of wine before bed, no food before bed, relaxation techniques, and prescription and homeopathic medicines. She took a prescription medication, but that didn't give her more than four hours of sleep. She even tried taking the medication when she woke in the middle of the night, but that left her too groggy in the morning.
Expert advice: "The good news is that Meredith's insomnia seems to have a clear precipitant―the breakup," says sleep-medicine specialist David Neubauer, M.D., a sleep-medicine specialist and an associate director of the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center, in Baltimore. Neubauer calls her situation "conditioned arousal," which, he says, is common. "Her sleep problems may have been initially caused by an external trigger, but over time the sleep problems become self-propagating. Eventually she became conditioned to become anxious about her sleep." Some things that might help:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used in cases like this, and the experts agree that it could help Meredith. "CBT aims to stop the behaviors
that are perpetuating the insomnia," says Susie Esthera, M.D., a specialist in sleep-disorder medicine at Charlotte Eye, Ear,
Nose, and Throat Associates, in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the president-elect of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Typically, a therapist will work with a patient for four to eight weeks―in sessions that last from 30 minutes to two hours―to
assess, diagnose, and treat the underlying problem, such as relationship worries. The therapist will teach the patient things
like progressive-relaxation techniques and point out actions that are getting in the way of deep sleep, such as rehashing
conversations that occurred earlier in the day. (To find a therapist, go to the website of the National Association of Cognitive
Behavioral Therapists, at nacbt.org.)
- Acupuncture. "Acupuncture may help reduce her anxiety and induce deeper sleep," says Rubin Naiman, Ph.D., the director of sleep programs
at the Miraval Resort, in Tucson.
- Avoiding wine. "There is a notion that alcohol will help you sleep," says Neubauer. "And while it often does help you fall asleep quicker,
your sleep will be more disrupted."
- Accepting some awakenings. The experts stress that nighttime awakenings are perfectly normal―much more normal, in fact, than the elusive solid eight hours people think they should be getting. Most people will roll over and go back to sleep, but those with insomnia become conditioned to feel anxious when they awake during the night. "You need to accept that you will arouse some, so reassure yourself in the middle of the night that nothing catastrophic will happen if you are awake for a while," says Esther. To that end, she suggests keeping the glaring electric clock off the bedside table. "Clock watching will only increase your anxiety about being awake," Esther says.

First, remove both, the SIM and the Memory Card and see if the phone switches and remains ON without them.. If yes, then try with one thing inserted at a time to see if one of them is creating an issue. If Memory Card is the problem Format it and see if SIM then try another one..
If there is no difference when both are not inserted try a Hard Reset. But you tend to lose all data from Phone memory with this...

Upset Alert
Belmont over Arizona. The Wildcats sport the classic look of an underachiever with three losses in their past five games. They should have won the Pacific-12 Conference's regular-season title and tournament and won neither.
Bracket Breakdown
This could be the only bracket in which it wouldn't be shocking if the top two seeds lost in the second round. If Iowa State defeats Notre Dame it will give Ohio State fits if it's hitting 3-point shots. And the sentimental favorite, Gonzaga, will be challenged by either Pittsburgh or Wichita State. Although Gonzaga is the No. 1 seed, it has never been to a Final Four and this could be a mental obstacle.
Ohio State. There was a backlash Sunday against Gonzaga receiving the No. 1 seed, either because the Zags play in the West Coast Conference or that Miami deserved a top seed.
That sets up Ohio State in a perfect position. The Buckeyes won the Big Ten Conference Tournament and the Big Ten is considered the best conference in the country. Forward Deshaun Thomas and guard Aaron Craft, the emotional leader of the team, provide the kind of inspirational play that often becomes even more important during the NCAA Tournament and is a likely All-American candidate next year.
Sleeper: Iowa State
Nobody envies the idea of facing the Cyclones, who lead the nation with 9.9 3-point shots made per game. Star guard Tyrus McGee shoots 46 percent on 3-pointers and freshman forward Georges Niang shoots 39 percent. Perhaps more daunting, four starters average in double-figure scoring. The Cyclones average 79.6 points, which makes them the fourth-highest scoring team in the nation.

When Your Child Doesn't Make the Team
My son's first tryout came in seventh grade for the middle-school basketball team. Until then, he played regularly in either the rec league or the church league. His specialty was blocking shots, because he was tall with long arms. He was also the only kid on his team who could shoot and dribble with either hand. Even with 30 kids trying out for 10 spots, he felt his chances were good.
In the end, my son didn't make it. A lot of good kids didn't make it. Still, he questioned himself. He thought he was good at basketball, but apparently he wasn't good enough. Would he also fail in other things? Rec leagues ended in sixth grade. There were no sports for him to do. He fell into a funk that affected everything else in his life.
Facing the Hard Facts
Not every child will be affected so deeply when not making the team, but all young athletes will eventually face the reality that sports are selective. Around the age of 11, children enter the period of select or elite teams. Little League picks "all-star" teams to compete in the World Series tournament. Soccer and basketball teams choose travel squads. By middle school, nearly all sports teams require tryouts (football being an exception).
"At the younger ages, effort and ability aren't separated," says Gregg Heinzmann, director of the Youth Sports Research Council. "When they hit adolescence, however, the kids begin to discover their athletic abilities are finite, just when they are entering stages with other age-related challenges and anxieties."
"Adolescence is the period of time where young peoples' physical development and psychological development are becoming formulated," says Charles Maher, professor of psychology at Rutgers University. "Developmentally, this is the time for the more talented youth to be allowed to compete with others at the same level."
Maher, who is also the team psychologist for the Cleveland Indians and the Cleveland Cavaliers, points out that adolescents, whatever their natural talent levels may be, also tend to vary a great deal in their emotions and self-esteem. "If making the elite and travel teams signifies external rewards and recognitions, and the unabashed showcasing of young players and their coaches, this narcissistic attitude and self-centeredness will reinforce to those who do not make the teams that they are not 'good' people," he says.
The most obvious external reward is being able to be a part of a team and with that, the knowledge that, for now, the child's athletic ability is considered best among his or her peers. On the flip side, the children who don't get picked suffer a severe blow to their ego, and it is up to the parents to apply the salve.
"There is no way being cut won't hurt," says Maureen Busch of Stow, Mass., who has three children participating in sports. Although her children have made select teams, they have also been cut from teams before.
"The worst time came when my second son was cut from a team he had been on for multiple seasons," Busch says. "Everyone assumed he would make it again. That was a time he needed a lot more moral support. He felt a true sense of having lost something."
Helping Them Cope
What can parents do to help their child survive being passed over for a select team?
1. Explain that everyone gets a turn to shine. "Sometimes it is someone else's turn, and next time it could be yours," says Debbie Mandel, the author of Turn on Your Inner Light: Fitness for Body, Mind and Soul (Busy Bee Group, 2003).
2. Ask in advance what coaches will be looking for in a player and the commitment you and your child need to make if she makes the team, explains Stacy DeBroff, author of Sign Me Up! The Parents' Complete Guide to Sports, Activities, Music Classes, Dance Lessons and Extracurriculars (Free Press, 2003). Knowing what the coach expects ahead of time can alert the parents to whether or not this sport in this situation would be a good fit for the child.
3. Prepare your child for the possibility of not making the team before tryouts begin. "The parents should convey to their sons and daughters to prepare to make the team, to work hard to do so and most importantly, feel good about themselves no matter the outcome," Maher says.
4. If your child truly enjoys the sport, do everything possible to keep them interested and involved. "If a child doesn't make a team, he is often discouraged and drops the sport," DeBroff says. "Stories abound of middle-of-the-road athletes who went on to excel." Michael Jordan is an excellent example of a young athlete who was cut by his school team, but who didn't give up and tried out the next year. Look for alternative leagues, or sign them up for sports camps to improve their skills.
5. Allow them to feel the hurt of not making the team. Busch says that she and her husband let her children take the lead on how they want to deal with the disappointment. "If they needed to go off to their rooms for a while to deal with it, that was fine," she says. "If they wanted to talk about it, we were there to listen and help put it in perspective."
6. Keep it in perspective. Oftentimes children are upset because they feel they let down their parents. "It is flattering to a parent when a coach wants your child to try out for a select team," Heinzmann says. Children pick up on parents' excitement, so reinforce to your child that you aren't disappointed in him, but disappointed for him.
Keeping It in Perspective
It is difficult enough for a child who hasn't made a select team, but doubly hard when his friends do get picked. "I see the kids on the team forming a group, and not being in that group leads to exclusion," says Steve Albert, a father and youth coach from Cranford, NJ. There could be a temporary break in the friendship, or it could end up in a permanent break. Parents should do whatever they can to encourage strengthening other friendships during this time.
In the long run, it is important that parents keep reality in perspective for their young athletes. All children will eventually suffer rejection; no one is immune to it. Some children bloom early, and some will have late growth spurts and puberty to improve their athletic ability.
"There are very few athletes who make it to the professional level and also very few who obtain college scholarships," Maher says. "Parents of young athletes would do well to keep these realities in mind. Parents need to emphasize the dictum of keeping everything, including sports, in perspective."

herrorcman says: I still hold this as the best first person shooter of all time. It's got it all: amazing level design, lots of stuff to blow up, great multiplayer, and the best of all: the ultimate badass as the protagonist.
herrorcman says: This is one of those shooters that doesn't take itself at all seriously. It's got crazy power-ups, tons of gore (including "ludicrous gibs!"), great level design, a great sense of humor, and keeps the core mechanics simple. Well worth it.
herrorcman says: Take everything that was good about Duke Nukem 3D, throw it in a horror setting, throw in tons more references, make it even more ridiculously bloody, and you have Blood. It easily stands tall and proud alongside the great Duke.
herrorcman says: The ultimate multiplayer shooter. If you've played any multiplayer shooter since this, you can easily see the impact it's had. Classic game modes, phenomenal maps, great balancing, and all the fast-paced action you could hope for.
herrorcman says: Take what worked for the original Unreal Tournament, update the graphics, throw in more weapons, modes, maps, and a fancier tournament mode, and you get UT2004. It's pretty close to as amazing as the original, in fact.
herrorcman says: Imagine Doom, but in a tongue-in-cheek sci-fi setting where you play as secret agent Blake Stone. It's one of those great classic FPS's that got overlooked, but deserves some attention.
herrorcman says: While it has a few technical problems and issues with AI (as most tactical FPS's do), SWAT 3 is a fine example of a complex, well-made tactical game doing mostly everything right. Well worth playing for any tactical FPS fan.
herrorcman says: Fast-paced, cleverly-designed, and chock-full of all the mindless action we know and love from classic FPS's, Painkiller reminded FPS fans how much fun simply blasting things to bits with really cool weapons is.
herrorcman says: Ghost Recon was highly iterative on Rainbow Six, and still managed to be a great tactical FPS. It's more difficult, has bigger environments, and is centered around a fictional war in Georgia, but it definitely has that Rainbow Six feel to it.
herrorcman says: Rainbow Six was essentially the start of the tactical FPS genre, and to date it's still one of the best around. Challenging, strategic, and surprisingly realistic, it delivers an experience rivaled only by Raven Shield.
herrorcman says: Serious Sam showed us how much fun blasting huge hordes of wacky enemies with goofy weapons in massive environments could be, and is a challenging, well-made FPS to boot. Definitely give it a look.
herrorcman says: If you get The First Encounter, you pretty much have to get The Second Encounter. They're really quite equal in terms of clever design and fun, but with the levels being centered on ancient Mayan temples instead of ancient Egyptian ones.
herrorcman says: Far Cry was one of those games that snuck up on us from out of nowhere. The massive, lush environments were amazing at the time, and on top of that, it does everything a great shooter needs to do.
herrorcman says: While it does have a few annoyances (the malaria mechanic being the worst) and it's almost nothing like the original, Far Cry 2 is an enjoyable foray into the minimally-explored open-world FPS. DRM was a huge issue on launch, and this remedies that.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.
