What is wrong with you people?! This project is going to reduce the impact of the Caltrain running through your town, and even with more tracks it will be quieter and less obtrusive. Mr. Moore, if you knew anything about the project perhaps you would understand that bringing high speed rail through the Caltrain corridor is the fastest route to electrifying Caltrain. Making San Jose the terminus of the line undermines the entire project. You would get from LA to San Jose in 2 hours, and then spend at least an entire hour more getting from SJ to SF, ruining appeal, ridership, and revenue.

I am so tired of you HSR sock puppets coming on these forums and posting messages. I know a lot about HSR, and not only is it financially indefensible, it would create lasting damage to two cities. Obviously, you have never visited the mid-peninsula and have no idea what you are talking about. Plus it takes 23 minutes to get to San Jose on the train--do your homework!
Good luck getting another badly paid job that reflects your dubious integrity. Your handlers aren't going to be sending you any more checks after Tuesday. Props to all four Atherton candidates for taking a community-centric stance.

Someone says something good about the system and they are a "Sock Puppet" and on the payroll? I have done my homework and I know the good this system will bring. I am not on the payroll and I'm nobody's sock puppet. I'm for zero emmissions and smart growth. I'm for jobs and for the economy. I'm for alternatives and for high-speed rail.

Emily, you made some spelling mistakes when you copied the HSR pitch into "your" message. Hope they don't deduct anything from your paycheck for that!
on Oct 27, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Do you people have anthing to whine about other than HSR? how about what china set will be placed out for dinner? Ghesss what a bunch of rich crybabies...and yes we are going to come on here when your trying to delay a statewide project.

"Glen," "Emily," "Michael," and friends: no matter what the outcome of this election, you'll still be nattering away in your Inglewood studio by the freeway while we enjoy the well-earned fruits of living in paradise.
HSR is a massive ripoff scheme that's being perpetrated on the California voters. It's not going to happen, not in its currently proposed form anyway. A few people will get rich from the bond money, but you're not going to be among them.
Since you asked...you may set the table with the Limoges tonight, and don't forget to wash your hands first!

I live in the CITY with a view of the Bay Bridge..Richey and babie whineessss.!!Well earned ..AND dont worry that 140 year old railroad that built wonderland will just get alittle wider..no one will die or be tied to the tracks!!! and your comment about Inglewood has a Racist tone and other comments show your a true snob
on Oct 28, 2008 at 10:22 am
Consider yourself fortunate living in a 21-st century and benefit the confort of it. Most of freeways are like huge "Parking place in slow motion", at pick traffic. The high speed is the only solution.
on Oct 30, 2008 at 8:37 am
"Philosophically, I believe high-speed rail is a good idea, but not in our backyard,"
Good grief, nimbyism in its most literal form!

INDIANAPOLIS — Michael and Erin Bogan's five children are creative, to say the least.
Now ranging in age from 8 to 16, a couple years ago they started drawing monsters culled from their collective imaginations.
"They were really good and they had hundreds of them," Erin said.
The Bogans, who live in Avon, liked them enough to want to share them publically. That's when Promise Monsters was born.
Initially they printed the monsters on cards that included heartwarming passages like, "Smile, someone's thinking of you" and "Your day will get a little better." The Bogans placed these in public areas for random people to find. They also started a website (PromiseMonsters.com) where citizens could note their experience.
"Everybody loved it and we had so much fun doing it," Erin said. "We wanted to keep spreading the joy."
That's when they decided to go beyond mere drawings into stuffed animals. Each comes with its own "Monster Mission."
"It's a random act of kindness," Erin said. "They're sneaky and fun – just a little something for kids to do."
Once they complete their task, they can enter a code from their Promise Monster on the website to redeem a reward.
"It can be things for their monster like a superhero cape or a hat," Erin said. "Or it can be something like a donation to Riley Hospital for Children."
The Bogans started with two monsters. The next one, named Albert, will be the fourth to become a stuffed animal. There are plenty more drawings that can be refined and rendered tangible.
With sales now eclipsing 1,000, the Bogans want to expand. They launched a Kickstarter campaign that can be viewed online at KickStarter.com/projects/PromiseMonsters/spread-the-kindness-with-usa-made-stuffed-monsters. The goal is to raise $20,000 to fund more manufacturing equipment. They currently have an office on Indianapolis' Westside where all the Promise Monsters are made by hand.
"We're really proud of that fact," Erin said. "We want to contribute to manufacturing returning to the United States."
Those who contribute to the Kickstarter campaign are eligible for various reward levels, including Promise Monster merchandise and the Bogans performing a kind act of your choosing and documenting it. The top award is taking your drawing and turning it into a Promise Monster. The Kickstarter campaign ends June 12.
The Bogans also recently finished a contest where patients at Riley Hospital for Children or their relatives submitted monster drawings.
"We're going to pick one and make that into a Promise Monster as well," said Erin, adding that $5 from each of those units sold will be donated to Riley's foundation.
So far Promise Monsters (and their smaller Smarshmallows) are available online and at various retailers in Indiana and Michigan. The Bogans want it to be as big as it can get.
"We have a lot of fun doing it," Erin said. "We think it's a positive influence on the world."

Dumas, TX - A pharmacist in Dumas who's under scrutiny by the state has now filed a lawsuit in federal court in Amarillo.
S. Ray Johnson, part owner of the Pill box in Dumas, denies alleged violations found by the Texas State Board of Pharmacy during past inspections.
An inspector claims in 2011 work could not be completed due to Johnson's threatening and combative behavior.
Johnson was inspected a few months later by an undercover investigator who claims verbal counseling failed to be provided to him before he was sold hydrocodone.
An attorney for the state board tells us during January of this year they filed a contested case hearing to resolve the matter.
The case has been put on hold while the lawsuit against them is pending.

Temple Beth El capped off its yearlong 100th anniversary celebration on Saturday night with a gala inside the temple.
During this year, the group has celebrated in numerous ways, including a look at the building's architecture just last weekend.
Officials told CBS 3 that it is an honor to serve the people of Western Massachusetts.
"We're very proud to be a part of the greater Springfield community for the last 100 years," said Craig Kazin, a co-chair of the temple. "This is just the icing on the cake of a wonderful year of celebration that we've had. I'm very proud of the people I work with and I'm very proud to be a part of this congregation and of the greater Springfield Jewish community."
The temple estimated that 400 people were in attendance for the gala.
They said they are the largest conservative temple in all of Western Mass.

Upcoming events: Big O Hike, a memorial paddle and free national park admissionTuesday, November 8th, 2011
Three outdoors events coming up later this week and later this month:
*National Parks will waive admission fees Friday through Sunday (Nov. 11-13) in honor of the nation's veterans. A special Veteran's Day event is planned in Everglades National Park. From 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturday, Everglades National Park officials will lead a tour of the Nike Hercules Missile Base, built in the park in the 1960s following the Cuban Missile Crisis. The open house leaves from the Daniel Beard Center, about 7 miles from the main park visitor center located 9 miles southwest of Homestead on State Road 9336. For details, call (305) 242-7015 or go to www.nps.gov/ever/historyculture.
*A memorial paddle on Fisheating Creek is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 13, in honor of Ellen Peterson. The celebration of Peterson's life begins is set for 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fisheating Creek campground on U.S. 27 in Palmdale. Music, food and a 4-mile paddling trip are planned. Peterson, of Estero, died in October. She worked to keep Fisheating Creek open to the public, was the Florida Wildlife Federation's Conservationist of the Year in 2008 and is a former president of Save Our Creeks. The celebration in honor of Peterson is free. For more information, call (863) 659-1099.
*The Florida Trail Association is planning its 20th annual Big O Hike around Lake Okeechobee. Yes, it's the 20th. It all begins the morning of Saturday, Nov. 19, at the marina in Pahokee. Walking atop the dike begins at 8 a.m., but get there earlier if you want to register and participate. The first leg, to Port Mayaca, is 11.9 miles, but there's a 3.4-mile Wimp Walk on the first day for hiking lightweights. Hikers can join any leg of the nine-day, 110-mile counterclockwise trek around the big lake. It's free, but hikers are responsible for their own lodging and food. Of note, this will be the 20th consecutive hike for Paul Cummings and Gordon Johnson, two of the original Big O hikers. For more information, go to www.floridatrail.org or call (561) 963-9906.

If the Western Michigan Broncos are going to comeback and win the 2011 Little Caesars Bowl, it's probably going to be because of wide receiver Jordan White.
With half a quarter left to play and the Broncos down 37-25 to the Purdue Boilermakers, White is having a monster day with 12 receptions, 240 yards and a touchdown. More than a few of those catches have been highlight-makers as well, including the flea-flicker touchdown catch and his one-handed grab in double coverage.
If folks didn't know who White was coming into the bowl game, they do now. As a senior this year, White led all FBS players in total receiving yards (1,646), total receptions (127), receiving yards per game (137.17) and receptions per game (10.57). He was named an All-American by multiple associations, was a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist and first-team All-MAC.
White is the first "consensus" All-American in school history at Western Michigan.

If this were baseball, they might call it a blockbuster trade: the US operations of Martin Professional, the Danish lighting manufacturer, have acquired--and lost--several big names in the industry. And the company has opened a university to boot.
First up to bat is Harvey Hazelwood, who has been named the new president and CEO of the Martin USA headquarters in Hollywood, FL. A former consultant with High End Systems, he has extensive background in engineering, manufacturing, and finance, including a stint with NASA. He replaces former CEO and financial officer Bent Thorsted.
Another new face is Woody Smith, who has been named chief operating officer. Likewise a veteran of the lighting industry, Smith's background includes stints as general manager of Coemar US and director of R&D with High End Systems. He replaces Carsten Ladefoged, who had left the company earlier in the year.
A couple of high-profile Martin veterans have left the company. Marcel Fairbairn, who had spent six years as director of sales with the company, first with Tracoman, its former US distributor, and then with Martin after the company initiated its own US operations, has left Martin to join High End as its director of new market development. Also gone is Randy Wade, former Southwestern regional sales manager in Martin's Dallas office. He has joined the Magnum Companies Ltd., an Atlanta-based lighting and production shop, as director of entertainment sales and operations.
Those changes have also meant that some familiar faces have moved up at Martin: Eric Loader, former Western regional sales manager, had been named the new managing director of sales. Previously based in Sun Valley, CA, Loader is moving east to Florida to take the position. Replacing him as branch manager in the Sun Valley office is Frank Montero. In addition, Jeff Dougherty has been named the new Southwestern regional sales manager, replacing Wade, and Andy Broitman, who left the company last year. Martin has closed its warehouse in Dallas; Dougherty will be based in the area as a satellite office and run the operations with support from Florida and California.
In an unrelated Martin move, The Martin Group has acquired 51% of the shares of Martin Italy srl, the former independent Martin distributor in the Italian market. Former Martin Italy srl owner Mario Radice owns the rest of the share capital; he has signed a joint-venture agreement with Martin in connection with the acquisition.
Meanwhile, the company is celebrating the opening of Martin University, the latest and most intensive concept in industry training. Martin University is geared to schooling Martin's international distributors in knowledge of Martin products. The first six-day course was held in June in Denmark at a theatre facility in Ebeltoft, near Martin's offices in Aarhus. The class consisted of 51 distributors from 19 countries, who took part in an extended schedule of lectures and hands-on demonstrations, along with discussions about sales and marketing strategies.
The sales strategy section was held with sales manager Torben Stein, sales director Kristian Bro, and managing director Peter Johansen. Delegates were required to complete a series of exams on the subjects covered before they could depart, diplomas in hand. Brush up, reps: Hazelwood says plans for an American edition will be announced soon.

bit plane
<graphics> (Or "bitplane") The memory in a graphic display device which holds a complete one-bit-per-pixel image. Several bit planes may be used in conjunction to give more bits per pixel or to overlay several images or mask one with another.
"Bit plane" may be used as a synonym for "bitmap", though the latter suggests the data itself rather than the memory and also suggests a graphics file format.

I'm hoeing out my desk, top and file-drawer contents, a task easier than Hercules had with the Augean stables, but maybe not much.
You'll remember that an angry god assigned Hercules 12 labors, including killing a lot of really horrific animals (some with multiple heads) and, of course, mucking out the Augean Stables.
Anyone around here with a dairy herd will immediately sympathize with Hercules since those stables hadn't been cleaned in 30 years and housed more than 1,000 cattle. That's a lot of dung. But he did it by rerouting two rivers to wash out the filth. (Nothing's mentioned of hishaving to comb out the 1,000 plus cows' tails. I hope not.) Anyway, I began my own Augean job by culling out of and off my desk twenty years of papers that had simply aged out of any importance.
That was half of the job done, right there. Then I began sorting and ranking in importance what remained. I found some treasures and want to share one with you now.
It's a copy of the Will and Testament of my Great-greatgreat- grandfather Richard Owings of Anne Arundel County, Md., written in 1818.
He was a very wealthy man, though when after his wife's death, the estate was divided among their nine children, and nobody ended up rich except the oldest son — not my ancestor Basil. The oldest got almost all the land, and his descendants made out like bandits. On that land Baltimore/ Washington International Airport now sprawls. You may have landed or taken off on runways laced across the Owings erstwhile tobacco fields.
My lineal ancestor Basil, somewhat embittered, pulled up stakes and moved south to Shady Side, Md., where his combination general store/ post office was later trashed by four marauding Yankee soldiers. (I remember hisdaughter and my great-grandmother, a frail old woman, pointing out the broken latch on the milk house door, smashed by the "damned Yankees." Of course they'd never had it repaired; they nursed their outrage with it.
Then, in the 1890s, his son Basil Jr., hoped to raise the family again to his proper station by sending two daughters north to a posh ladies' seminary at Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y. The older hit pay dirt and married a rich insurance man. My grandmother Annie, however, fell in love with a young military cadet and got yanked home to Shady Side and forced to send the boy's ring back to him. She ended up married to Grandpa Sam, a bandy-legged, tobacco-chewing shipwright and carpenter. Her father Basil must have seethed the rest of his days. You've read all about that in my book, "From Fly Creek." I hope.
But back to Basil's wealthy dad Richard who, of course, left everything to his wife Ruth, to be divided at her death among the youngsters. Ruth was left in great shape, with a huge tract of arable land outlined closely in the Will.
Then comes the list of house and farm chattel: "also the following Negroes Ben, Lucy, Eliza, Maria, Bob. Toney, Nate, and Jerry." And, immediately after, "Also her choice of four of my best Horses. Twelve of my best sheep. Six of my best Cows. Twenty of my best Hoggs [sic]. . ." It's the matter-of-fact bequest of those nine Humans that must surely horrify you, as it did me. And not just those nine. In token bequests at his death, Richard left a slave or two to most of his children.
His daughter Polly got "Matilda, plus two feather beds and furniture, that is to say, two pair of sheets, two Blankets, one quilt, one underbed [trundle] and bedstand for each bed with Bolsters and pillars [sic] and one hundred and Twenty Dollars in cash." Two bequests stand out for other reasons. He left his son Richard "all my wearing apparel" (same size, I guess), plus his gold watch after his wife's death.
And my Great-great-grandfather Basil? He got "two feather beds and furniture in like manner as is described to my Daughter Polly also a negroe boy by the name of Thomas …" No cash.
Again, no cash. Maybe that's why Basil headed south to Shady Side with only the boy Thomas as company, the two of them on the seat of a wagon full of feather beds, bolsters, and small furniture. More likely, though, it was young Thomas driving the team, while Basil rode ahead, smoldering.
Misused? What about Thomas and Matilda and Ben and Lucy and Eliza and Maria and Bob and Toney and Nate and Jerry and Charley and how many others unnamed?
Misused? Why, at the time that word no more applied to the Negroes than it did to the horses, cows, sheep, and hogs. No more than it did to the feather beds. It was, all of it, just chattel.

UPDATE WEDNESDAY: Con Edison restored power Wednesday afternoon to customers in two underground electrical networks that were taken out of service Monday night as the floodwaters from Hurricane Sandy were surging.
One network is in lower Manhattan and serves 2,000 customers. The customers are in an area roughly bounded by Vesey Street on the north; West Street on the west; Broadway and State Street on the east; and the southern tip of Manhattan to the south.
The second area is in the Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn and serves about 28,200 customers. The area includes these neighborhoods: Coney Island, Seagate, Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Sheepshead Bay.
The utility noted that though it has restored power to the networks, some buildings may still be without electricity due to basement flooding or damage to local equipment.
Company crews continue to work to restore power to customers who are served by underground and overhead electrical equipment.
A Con Ed spokesman said the company was caught off-guard by a 14-foot storm surge, which was much greater than forecast.
At 9 p.m. Monday, Con Edison issued a statement: "Con Edison is reporting power outages to a large section of Manhattan stretching from East 39th Street to the lower tip of Manhattan. The outage was caused by flooding in company substations and engineers are working to correct the problem. The Company said approximately 250,000 customers in Manhattan are without power."
Earlier, Con Edison had preemptively cut steam service and the power on a grid in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn to prevent potentially severe damage to equipment.
NYU Hospital's backup generator failed, according to Mayor Mike Bloomberg. He said the city was working with the hospital to move patients.

URBAN LANDSCAPE at Blank Space Gallery
By NAOMI REIS, MATTHEW TRYGVE TUNG, JEREMY WAGNER, and KRISTEN LIU-WONG
June 13 - July 20, 2013
Opening Reception: Thursday, June 13, 6 - 8PM
BLANK SPACE is proud to present Urban Landscape, featuring the works of four young artists
(in alphabetical order): Naomi Reis, Matthew Trygve Tung, Jeremy Wagner, and Kristen Liu Wong.
Employing different methodology and materials, these artists examine architecture and the built
environment to traverse between fictional and nonfictional space and time. Juxtaposing the historical
with the contemporary, the manmade with the natural, and the imaginary with the real, the exhibition
challenges viewers to see how constructed spaces shape and alter our everyday experiences.

SEATTLE — Bishop Sankey is taking his talents to the next level.
Washington's junior running back, who set the school's single-season rushing record this season with 1,870 yards, will forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft, his father, Chris, confirmed on Monday.
Sankey joins tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins as the second draft-eligible junior from UW to decide to leave school early. Seferian-Jenkins informed reporters of his decision after Washington's victory over BYU in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Friday.
Sankey's father wrote in a text message that his son has not yet hired an agent.
The record-setting running back from Spokane's Gonzaga Prep leaves UW as the third-leading rusher in school history with 3,496 yards, and his 37 career rushing touchdowns top Napolean Kaufman's 34 for the
most in school history.
Sankey, who was one of three finalists for the Doak Walker Award, ranks third nationally in rushing yards and fourth in rushing yards per game (143.8). He told reporters last week that he received a third-round grade from the NFL college advisory committee.
Sankey told ESPN that his decision was motivated by the physical toll imposed upon running backs.
"I've proven what I needed to prove," Sankey told ESPN. "I have to look at the position I play, and the number of carries.
"I can learn a playbook quickly. I am versatile. I can pass-block and I can catch the ball."
By eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark in each of the past two seasons, Sankey gave the Huskies a 1,000-yard rusher in each of Steve Sarkisian's five seasons as UW's coach. Chris Polk, who started from 2009-11, also left UW with a year of eligibility remaining.
Polk wasn't drafted — his injury history may have hampered him — but he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent and is still on their roster.
Sankey remained relatively healthy throughout his UW career, though a hand injury kept him out of the fourth quarter of Friday's game.
If he is drafted, Sankey will be the first Washington running back to be selected since Rashaan Shehee was picked by the Kansas City Chiefs in the third round in 1998.

Name for this concept? If a user pays once they are less adverse to further payments.
I've heard that if a user is converted from a free user of a service to paying that further payments are psychologically easier for them to accept. For example, it is easier to get a user to renew a subscription than to get her to buy the subscription in the first place.
Does this concept have a name or any source? It seems intuitive, but I'd like to link to some 'proof'.

First let's consider the need to be right. These days people do extensive research before a purchase and afterwards they want to establish that their decision was correct and thus they often become advocates to justify their decision. This same emotion impacts repeat purchases in that once they have bought into the brand they are acting to reinforce the idea that it's a superior company. The fanboy syndrome is perhaps the best example of this.
On a completely different page you have laziness. This applies mostly obviously subscriptions where for example gyms sell memberships by the month knowing that only part of their active base will come in. Usage rates are so extreme that there are many companies who avoid sending communications out for fear of reminding people that they should stop paying for it as some literally go years without a visit, without use of their hosting account, activating a domain, etc. [note: gyms have a unique factor at play in signifying both action to remain and inaction to leave].
This can also apply to goods that are a reoccurring need. For example someone who decides to buy a certain brand of toothpaste may become complacent with that particular line / make and repurchase it hundreds of times provided that there is no radical need to readdress. Given enough time this effect becomes so strong that people adjust to paying considerably more which is why you see brand name products still selling when placed next to cheaper private-label options. CPG household and personal care good companies have spent fortunes perfecting this to the point where they can afford to spend obscene amounts of money to bring in a new customer for what amounts to a $1 profit-per item because of the LTV associated with it.
Changing gears again you have the perception of need. This is what companies play into when you call to cancel a recurring service or when they send out a small special on a common good. Essentially you've come in with the decision that you no longer need this or can buy another option yet with the introduction of the right offer, you stay. This would be logical if the service was being replaced [i.e. one gym for another] but in many cases the acceptance comes because the person has developed a sense that they need it... The spa sessions they seldom use but for 10% off can't pass up, the satellite radio because they might drive more next month, etc.
Then there's my personal favorite at least as it pertains to bigger ticket or varied goods [think Apple, Amazon, etc]: experience. Today's consumer lives in an age of information so before someone buys it's all speculation... what were the reviews, how did that friend like his, did it seem solid in the store? After they have the product they no longer need to trust others as they now know... Even an accepted brand has to live up to a certain line because they know there are options. If it's good they're going to keep going back because it beats finding something new [where as if it's bad... hello online reviews].
And these are just a few of the consumerism effects at play, there's some other great ones I'm already spinning around on.- Ted S

WTF is wrong with DigiNotar?
Y'know, I don't know why all CA's aren't required to simply use sneakernet to access their private key every time they want to sign a cert. It would avoid all sorts of problems.
That's why they're so cheap.
Wed Sep 14 2011 01:26:40 AM EDT from the8088er @ UncensoredDoes anyone have any experience setting up a long range ewireless ethernet bridge? I'm looking at using Motorola Canopy equipment to span around 4.1 miles.
Give me a day or two, I believe my ex-boss set up something. I will see what he says.
Maybe it would be better to ask what are your questions specifically?
I saw a page with them creating parabolic mirrors with spanning meshes over wooden base construction
generaly spoken...
gives you other approaches too.
I've done some of that, but the distance was only a quarter mile or so. Line of sight is key.
It also sucked whenever we had ice storms.
Thu Sep 15 2011 11:12:52 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar @ UncensoredNeat stuff, but it sounds like the8088er is dealing with at least some amount of budget to purchase "real" long haul wifi equipment.
I've done some of that, but the distance was only a quarter mile or so. Line of sight is key.
the problem is, that if, they want to sell you some uber-special equipment, which equals weight in gold, and isn't as fast either.
so... a little antenna workshop, and a visit at radio shack (do they still do electronic parts?) would be the best thing to do.
maybe ax25 is the right guy (or knows some of them ;-) to get it set up and running properly.
You can still get some electronic parts at Radio Shack. But they aren't what they used to be.
You can still get some electronic parts at Radio Shack. But they
aren't what they used to be.
Yeah, the huge section of components we remember from the Radio Shack of the 1970's has been replaced by a single cabinet with a bunch of tiny drawers in it, in which you might find a few fuses and connectors and things. RadioShack (note the innovative switch from two words to a single CamelCase word) now needs the floor space for crappy consumer electronics and overpriced HDMI cables.
We may do a little proof of concept hackup to see if we can get it to work for just a while. We won't be able to do a permanant install until "Point A" moves to a new building downtown which could be a month or two, but we can't do without Internet at "Point B" until then. I astill need to find some topographic maps to see just what we're up against. I won't be able to do line-of-sight I don't think. I'll have to do nLOS aiming high to get over some obstacles just odown the road from Point A, where we can't really put a mast. Point B shouldn't be very limited regarding what can we put up.
Wonder how much it costs to colo something on a cell twower as there's one literally right across the property line from us.
do it for cost savings as much as because the only internet we can get
is 1.5 MBPS for $129 a month after $200 setup and $395 equipment costs
Do you just call AT&T and say you want a T1 or something? I imagine
that's probably around $1000+ a month plus installation anyway, and for
1.544 MBPS at that.
Coworker got a strange call from a number in oklahoma. Call went
unanswered, but a voicemail was left. Coworker dialed into his VM box,
message was silence.
Then his phone started dialing an 866 number. He hung up.
Dialed back into voicemail, play the message, same thing happens.
Googling the 866 number returns hits that it's a credit card scam.
How the hell can a voicemail prompt a phone to dial out like that?
We have an Avaya IP Office phone system here.

Due to the controversy surrounding Lamont Peterson, and the fact that his comeback fight with Kendell Holt is pretty big by ESPN standards, we will be having this preview thread for the fight pinned. Discuss all things related to Peterson, how he will fare in this fight, and any aspects of the controversy in this thread. On Friday Night, we will change the topic title to our customary Round By Round Spoiler thread so users can follow along and reflect on the future of Lamont's career.
Please note we normally do Showbox and ESPN fights in Weekend Wrap up threads, with only the PPV, HBO, or Showtime fights pinned. However, because this is a world title fight (IBF World Jr. Welterweight Championship) with such an electric atmosphere in Peterson's hometown with a very strong challenger in Holt, we will be treating this fight as if it were a PPV, HBO, or Showtime match. This is one of the biggest little fights to hit ESPN FNF in a long time so we are going to treat it as a big deal.
Same rules apply, no new spoiler threads or public streams. Post everything in this thread. Oh, if you are DVR'ing this card, add 30 to 60 minutes because there is a basketball game previous to the fight and doing so should avoid game overtime problems.

The layoff is one thing, but I'm more concerned with how Peterson will perform without the elevated testosterone levels.:
Elevated? I thought he was cleared by a doctor because he had low testosterone? So technically he fought with normal testosterone.
But I have a feeling holt might catch lamont cold with his fast hands. But lamont has crazy resolve, this is definitely an interesting match up.

The attachments capability is not intended to become a photo upload server. you can upload 4 attachments or a maximum of 4mb of files, be they text or images. Images display @ 320 X 320, so its a back door way to quickly show a image or two, but linking from your server is better.

Please take it as given that the rest of the world is crying out for Obama to win. Both your parties are crazy, but the Democrats are somewhat closer to being actual human beings.

2014 CHS Baccalaureate features Dr. Williams, Tiger of the Year
by Niki Brown Rapattoni – Class of 1958
Wonderful day for Dr. Robert Williams as 2014 CHS Alumni Tiger of the Year on Sunday, May 18th!
Bob spoke to a select group of math/science students at 1pm before baccalaureate (thanks to Tom James, head of math/and science for gathering these kids and for Principal Buboltz for arranging it).
Bob was pleased to see many girls attend and the entire group seemed so very bright. Principal, Dawn Buboltz delighted us with a marvelous baccalaureate service. The guests and student speakers were just grand and the coral group and solos were excellent! It was heartwarming to get the positive vibes from the students in their orange and black and so very glad the ROTC presented the colors.
Reception in the meeting room (#18 North Hall that was our biology classroom back in 1958) was super! We had about 20 alumni and guests attend including ex-CHS Principal Stein and some very nice students. Thanks to Peggy Nelson and others for handling the reception.

Robert Williams, Ph.D., Class of 1958 2014 Tiger of the Year
The Board of Directors of the Chaffey High School Alumni Association is proud to announce that Robert Williams, Ph.D., Class of 1958, has been selected as the 2014 Tiger of the Year. He was nominated by his classmate Niki Brown Rapattoni '58.
Dr. Williams is a Distinguished Research Scholar of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland and was Director of the Institute from 1993-1998. Along with the Goddard Space Flight Center, the Institute operates the Hubble Space Telescope for NASA. Bob's research specialties are nebulae, novae and emissions-line spectroscopy and analysis. He lectures widely around the world on the discoveries about the universe made by the Hubble Telescope and NASA space probes.
In his days as a student at Vina Danks Junior High School, Bob Williams was a member of the Astronomy Club. He was fascinated by the stars and dreamed of one day being an astronomer. In his senior year at CHS, the Fasti staff named Bob the "Student Most Likely to Succeed."
Bob received his undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1962, and a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Wisconsin in 1965.
He was a Senior Fulbright Professor at University College London from 1971-72, and received an Alexander von Humboldt Award from the German government in 1991. In 1998 he was awarded the Beatrice Tinsley Prize of the American Astronomical Society for his leadership of the Hubble Deep Field project, and was awarded the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal in 1999 for the same project. Before joining the Space Telescope Science Institute, Dr. Williams spent 8 years in Chile as Director of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, the national observatory of the U.S. in the southern hemisphere. Prior to that, he was Professor of Astronomy at the University of Arizona in Tucson for 18 years.
Dr. Williams is currently Past President of the International Astronomical Union, headquartered in Paris, which is the sole world-wide organization serving all professional astronomers and promoting international astronomy. He is also an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where he resides with his wife Elaine, a pediatric psychologist.
In the words of Niki Brown Rapattoni, "I have known Bob since CHS days (1955-195). He was a tall, skinny, good-looking, shy boy who was so smart, it was scary! He has had an illustrious career in the field of astronomy and has worked with, lectured for, and received numerous awards and recognitions from his collegues and world leaders. He is truly a gentleman and a scholar who has made a huge contribution to the world."
Dr. Williams joins these other distinguished alumni in the Tiger Hall of Fame: Howard Tipton '54; Robert Shaw '33; Betty Davenport Ford '42; Joseph Wambaugh '54; Howard P. Allen '44; H.

Blackburn Cathedral set for rush as Christmas carol season looms
4:16pm Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News By Sophia Rahman, Reporter
BLACKBURN Cathedral will host daily carol events by groups from all areas of the community in the run-up to Christmas.
Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, the Lancashire Telegraph, East Lancashire Hospice, Blackburn College and many primary and junior schools are just a selection of those with services planned between now and Christmas Eve.
Christopher Armstrong, Dean of Blackburn, said: "We couldn't be busier. We've had to turn people requesting services away because we can only handle so many.
"Secular groups from all over Lancashire have been in contact because we can offer such a great space and the music made here is fantastic."
The cathedral's own annual service will be held on December 23 and will see its own choir sing by candlelight.
Dean Armstrong said: "It is the most important service and everybody is welcome."
The Telegraph's service will have a fireworks display and be performed by the Cathedral Choristers, the Girl's Choir and the Salvation Army Band, on Thursday, December13.
"The Telegraph's is very popular," said the Dean.
"It works well with people doing late-night shopping. We get people coming in with carrier bags full of presents. The fireworks are fantastic and there's always a very relaxed atmosphere, it's lovely.
"It's one of my favourite carol services of the year."
Carols at the Crib welcomes parents and grandparents to see their children sing 'Away in a Manger' in a candlelit ring around the hall of the cathedral on Christmas Eve.
Blackburn Music Society will give their performance of Handel's Messiah in celebration of contralto Kathleen Ferrier's centenary on Saturday, December 8. Kathleen and her family lived in Blackburn.
Samuel Hudson, director of music at the cathedral, recently began rehearsing the carols with the cathedral's choirs.
Mr Hudson said: "One of my favourite services is the first one of the season, the Advent Carol Service on December 2.
"It really sets the mood for the rest of the month and the excitement just builds and builds from there."

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will: 1) determine the biochemical and genetic causes of inherited immune diseases affecting phagocytes (white blood cells that defend against bacterial and fungal infections); and 2) try to develop better ways to diagnose and treat patients with these diseases, and to prevent, diagnose and treat their infections.
Patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), hyper immunoglobulin-E recurrent infection syndrome (HIE or Job s syndrome), chronic and cyclic neutropenia, Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS), leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD), and disseminated mycobacterial infections, and their family members, may be eligible for this study. Normal volunteers between the 18 and 70 years of age will also be enrolled.
All participants will donate 1 to 3 ounces (2 to 6 tablespoons) of blood at a time, but no more than 1 pint (32 tablespoons) for adults and one-half teaspoon per pound of body weight for children over a 6-week period. They will also have DNA studies to try to identify genetic factors related to inherited immune disorders. In addition,
- Patients will have a personal and family medical history, physical examination and other procedures, which may include various blood tests; urinalysis; saliva collection; imaging studies such as chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); and lung function studies, dental examination or eye examinations, if medically indicated. Patients who have draining wounds will have fluid collected from these wounds for biochemical study. Tissues removed as part of medical care, such as pieces of lung, liver, or teeth, or biopsies of these tissues will be studied. Patients who have an immune problem that investigators wish to study further will be asked to return to NIH for follow-up visits at irregular intervals, but at least every 6 months. The visits will include an updated medical history, examination directed at the particular medical problem related to the immune disorder, follow-up of abnormal tests or treatment, and collection of blood, saliva, urine, or wound fluid for study. Patients with a severe bacterial infection may receive treatment with a drug called meropenem, given at a maximum dose of up to 2 grams every 8 hours.
- Family members will have a medical history, saliva or urine collection, and chest X-ray or other imaging study, if medically indicated.
- Normal volunteers who have had tissue biopsies or pieces of tissue removed as part of medical care, such as pieces of lung, liver, or teeth, will have these tissues studied.
Immunologic Deficiency Syndrome
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Detection and Characterization of Host Defense Defects
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 1993
This protocol is designed to evaluate selected patients with documented recurrent or unusual infections and their family members for clinical and in vitro correlates of immune abnormalities. It will also allow long term follow up of patients with host defense defects and permit us to periodically obtain blood, urine, saliva, skin, stool and vaginal specimens or wound drainage from such patients or their family members for medically indicated purposes and research studies related to understanding the genetic and biochemical bases of these diseases. This protocol may help provide patients and materials for the development of therapies for these diseases.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Patients known to have or suspected of having an immune defect significantly or primarily involving the phagocytes will be eligible for enrollment, as well as their blood relatives. Such syndromes include but are not limited to those listed above. There will be no limit as age, sex, race or disability. Normal volunteers will be healthy adults between the age of 18 and 70 years and of either sex.
Subjects enrolled will be able to provide informed consent for themselves or if they lack the capacity to provide informed consent, the study team will comply with MAS 87-4.
The presence of an acquired abnormality which leads to immune defects, such as HIV, cytotoxic chemotherapy or malignancy could be grounds for possible exclusion if, in the opinion of the investigator, the presence of such disease process interfered with evaluation.
Subjects with dementia that impairs obtaining informed consent are excluded unless there is an appropriate surrogate (legal guardian or durable power of attorney who is willing to provide consent).

Shelbyville's downtown mini-park is nearing completion as concrete is set and the shelter is being erected.
Work on the mini-park's renovation began this summer and will be an inviting place for relaxation for downtown shoppers and visitors.
Karen Cherry of the Shelbyville Garden Club designed the renovation which will also be colored with plants and trees – a contrast to the concrete of downtown Shelbyville.
"It will invite people to come and relax. The curves of the concrete softens the feel and adds to the garden features of the park," Cherry said.
The former park was brick-laid and featured inscribed bricks as a tribute to Okuwa, Japan.
Those bricks will set apart in a special inlaid area of the park.
Streetscape plans for downtown Shelbyville along Main Street will begin next year.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The impressive and long North face of Sugarloaf attracts climbers like no other formation in the Organs. This route makes the most of the long continuous North face, climbing anywhere from 9 do 11 pitches to reach the summit. Trying to describe each pitch in details not really in the spirit of the climb, as there are as many variations as pitches. At the same time getting off-route on these hard-to-protect slabs can spell some bad situations. After much soul searching, I decided to include a detailed description, but if you are into adventure climbing, there is an ocean of granite for you to explore.
The approach trail is in pretty good shape. The last 300m are hard to follow as the trail becomes a "climbers-trail," but when you get that close you can simply head to the lowest point on the north slabs of Sugarloaf.
A small alpine rack consisting of wires and a few cams (.5-2") is all that is really needed. A few more pieces won't hurt, but on many of the pitches you won't be placing much pro anyway. Expect 40 to 60-foot run-outs, or more if you get off-route. Long runners and smart rope management are a must.

Altavista - If you're still practicing on Thanksgiving morning, you've done a lot of things right. The Altavista Colonels were out Thursday morning getting in a workout for Friday night's home game against Franklin, a physical team with plenty of speed. Altavista is hoping to even the score with Franklin. LAST YEAR in this same round of the playoffs, the Colonels had to make the four-hour trip to Franklin and the Broncos ended their season, roughing up Altavista 41-11.
Juan Thornhill, COLONELS JUNIOR QUARTERBACK/DEF. BACK, said "They gave us a good whooping 41-11, I'll always remember that game. And I'm ready to play."

School plans £250,000 expansion (From The Oxford Times)

Cassington school plans £250,000 expansion
1:30pm Wednesday 9th January 2013 in News By Tom Jennings
ST PETER'S Primary School in Cassington has won planning permission to build a new classroom.
The plan also includes walkway from the new building to the main school, a new entrance and improved staff facilities.
The school, in The Green, hopes the project will mean it can change the age range from four to 11 year olds to take children as young as two.
The Church of England primary school has applied to the Diocese of Oxford to fund the £250,000 project.
It is hoped the work can begin during the summer holidays next year and be completed by April next year.
West Oxfordshire District Council's lowlands area planning subcommittee granted permission.
Headteacher Jeanette Millward said: "It is such an opportunity for us as a small village school to expand a little bit more.
"What we do not want to do is lose our small village community focus, but it will make things easier for us.
"We have 84 children on the roll at the moment but we are having more children and families wanting to join and are thinking of the future and trying to make ourselves more sustainable."
The project will be completed in three phases, beginning with the classroom, then the new entrance and ending by improving the car park.

The Dallas Cowboys called up running back Lance Dunbar to the 53-man roster today. Dunbar takes up the spot vacated by CB LeQuan Lewis, who was released last week.
It is expected that Dunbar will see action on special teams as a returner and gunner, and he may also see spot duty on the offense. When asked what his role on special teams might be, Dunbar was very straightforward:
"They just want somebody to make plays, get past the 20," Dunbar said Monday. "And I think I can do that. Use my speed, use my burst and my vision, and hopefully make plays on special teams."
The Cowboys need all the help they can get in the return game. After Week 5 they are ranked 25th in average yards per kickoff returns and 28th in average yards per punt returns.
While Dunbar didn't have any kickoff returns in the preseason, he did get three punt returns, on which he averaged 11.7 yards per return. That's almost twice the 6.0 yards the Cowboys have averaged so far this season.
Dunbar joined the Cowboys this year as an undrafted free agent out of North Texas, where he was the all-time leading rusher. In this year's preseason, he had 18 carries for 106 yards.
In other news, the Cowboys signed receiver Raymond Radway to the practice squad. Radway was on injured reserve for the entire 2011 season. With a practice squad spot vacated by Dunbar, and Danny Coale sidelined with a hamstring injury, the Cowboys decided to bring in an extra receiver to help out in practices.

Syndicated — As a home inspector, once you step foot inside a home to inspect it for a customer, there's usually a surprise or two awaiting. Because when a homeowner faces an "issue," they take it upon themselves to fix it. There are good fixes, workarounds and then jury rigged solutions that are just plain bad ideas for a number of reasons, but mostly because they are dangerous.
Click on the photos below to get a bigger glimpse of some of the most notoriously silly things ever attempted on homes that were in need of repair. In other words, here's a round-up of what NOT to do.
Have fun!
Ice Dams - Remember ice dams? They were nasty last winter here in Minnesota (photo below).
Ice Dam-age Control - This was someone's solution to chronic water intrusion from ice dam leakage (photo below).
Hack Ice Dam Removal - We've said many times that pressure washers should never be used to remove ice dams, because they tear up shingles (photo below).
Hot Roof? Cold Roof? Not Sure - Attics are supposed to be treated as warm spaces or cold spaces. Someone obviously didn't understand the point (photo below).
Hockey Puck Fascia Repair - Hole in your fascia? No problem! Just use a bunch of caulk and a hockey puck to fix it (photo below).
Rotted Roof Decking - The roof decking was in horrible condition at this house, but that didn't stop the roofers; they installed a new roof covering right over the top. That black stuff is the ice & water shield (photo below).
Bad Shingle Repair - No explanation needed (photo below).
Bad Chimney Crown - We could tell this chimney crown needed repair just by looking at it from the ground, but we had no idea it would be this bad. This chimney crown obviously needs to be completely replaced (photo below).
