If you often enjoy a midmorning or late-afternoon snack, read up on the common mistakes that people make when it comes to eating between meals that can cause the numbers on the scale to go up. Source: Flickr User VegaTeam and Thinkstock Your Snack Is a Mini Meal What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You sit down with some cheese and crackers and think you're eating just a snack. If you stopped to count calories, you'd realize your plate is actually more like 300 calories, rather than the recommended 150. Stick to small bites when it comes to snacks to not only prevent weight gain, but to save your appetite for mealtimes. Here are some ideas for 150-calorie snacks. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 You Drink Your Snack What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Smoothies make excellent snacks, especially when adding veggies into the mix. The problem is, all those other healthy ingredients like fruit, yogurt, and nuts really start to add up, and it's easy to gulp down hundreds of calories in just a few minutes. When it comes to snacking on smoothies, pour yourself a small glass to ensure you stay around 150 calories. Source: Flickr User VegaTeam 2 / 5 You Overdo It on Healthy Foods What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sure, the homemade fruit and nut bars you proudly whipped up are chock-full of healthy ingredients like almonds and dates, but just because a food is good for you doesn't mean you can eat all you want. Keep portion sizes in mind even on nutritious foods, especially those that are high in calories like nuts, avocados, dried fruit, and healthy baked goods. 3 / 5 Your Snack Is Dry What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Crackers, granola bars, toast, mini bran muffins — these are all healthy snacks, but they're dry. Foods rich in water tend to pack fewer calories into larger servings, meaning you can munch away on slices of bell peppers or apples, baby carrots, or diced melon, and feel full without consuming tons of calories. Another bonus is that these wet snacks keep you feeling full longer, and keep you hydrated, which is good for your skin, your sinuses, and your regularity. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 You Wait Until You're Famished What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Snacks are meant to satiate your hunger between meals or to give you a boost of energy before or after a workout. If you wait too long to enjoy your snack, you'll be so famished that you either grab the first and quickest (most likely unhealthy) food you see, or you eat so fast that you reach for more food after your snack is gone. Avoid this problem by scheduling regular snack times (yep, just like a preschooler).

A planar graph is a graph embedded in the plane in such a way that the edges intersect at vertices. This is an example of a planar graph:
g = GridGraph[{3, 3}]
It is stored in the standard Mathematica representation for graphs.
You can also draw a planar graph from a set of points in the plane with
pts = RandomReal[{0, 10}, {10, 2}]
However, the output is not in the standard representation for graphs. My question is: given a set of points, how can you create a planar graph in the standard graph representation of Mathematica (version 9)?

Next time you have a hour or two after a a climb maybe pick up the trash beneath it. You might be surprised what you will fine. This is from the base of a popular route in ZIon.
Hey. That's where my set of micronuts disappeared to!
Thanks for the community service John. I enjoy walking the base of Zion routes as well, but I have never been that lucky. Looks like some treasures in that pile.
The print-out in the trash pile of the topo for Prodigal Sun gives us the clue to which popular Zion route John was cleaning up under. I would note that some of the trash below Angel's Landing surely comes from ignoramus tourists who hike the trail to the top and then throw stuff over the edge for fun or because they don't want to carry it back down. A few weeks ago while on Prodigal Sun, I heard two or three empty water bottles bounce down the wall. I don't think the climbers above me were that careless or thirsty.
i cant believe that someone ditched that hat. savages...
John Fine and I hiked the base of El Cap twice last fall and I was quite amazed at how clean it was. It was a month after the Face Lift so maybe that had something to do with it.

A Christmas crook is on the run after breaking into a Limestone County Church.
It happened on the 1400 block of Browns Ferry Road at the Round Island Baptist Church. The Limestone County Sheriff's Office said the thief broke in on Christmas Eve night or early Christmas Morning.
The intruder nabbed a gaming system from the youth center as well as an iPhone from the pastor's office. The church is still working to take inventory of everything, but they are pretty sure those items are all the crook walked away with.
The sheriff's office said it appears whoever did this was looking for money. They did not find any, but the burglar did break several doors in the process.
The pastor said they were working to deliver food to those in need Christmas morning when they discovered what happened.
"They were here yesterday fixing meals they were fixing to take out to about 40 people. As they were getting ready to finish that up and deliver the meals, one of our church members came through the offices and noticed that the doors had been kicked in and stuff on the floor," said the Reverend Mike Green.
They discovered the crook used the cover of darkness, along with a giant piece of cement, to break into a place where anyone is welcome. A brick was thrown through a window to gain further access.
Some doors and some glass may be broken, but the spirit of Rev. Green is anything but.
"This is a giving church, so if it was somebody in need, we would have been more than happy to have given them something, a meal, stuff like that," he said.
A total of four doors will need to be repaired or replaced. Rev. Green said he and the other parishioners are glad there was not major damage.
"[They] did not do damage to our sanctuary, did not damage any of the things that are precious to us," he said.
The Limestone County Sheriff said the suspect will be charged with a felony for burglary if caught. That is punishable by more than a year in prison. He also said similar church burglaries around the county have taken place.
Sheriff Blakely suspects the same person is responsible for break-ins at East Highland Baptist Church on Roslyn Lane, Newby's Chapel on Nick Davis Road, and Lakeview Church on Lucas Ferry Road - all four happened in the last two weeks.
The sheriff also said the Limestone County cases could be connected to about a half-dozen across Decatur and Morgan County.

Federal Work-Study is awarded as part of the student's financial aid package — if the student was awarded Federal Work-Study funds, they would be able to view it on their MaineStreet account under "View Financial Aid." The total amount of Federal Work-Study awarded is what the student is eligible to earn for the academic year and is based on information provided on the FAFSA.
The first step to earning Federal Work-Study funds is to find a job. Students can find employment using the online job search.

Despite both the Buffalo Sabres and New York Rangers having played in games on Tuesday night, both teams had an incredible level of energy as they took the ice at the First Niagara Center.
With Henrik Lundqvist and Ryan Miller in net, it was not a stretch to expect world class goaltending, but this game defied even the loftiest expectations.
For sixty five minutes, both goaltenders turned aside every chance, helped in no small part by both defenses putting on a shot blocking clinic.
A physical affair, more than a few battles along the boards and duels for position ended with both combatants heading back to their benches with bruises and cuts. The crowd fed off the energy of the players and vice versa as each team battled back and forth, cheering for the incredible efforts from each side.
Despite both teams getting power play opportunities in overtime, Miller and Lundqvist continued to make highlight reel saves, in particular a last second save by Lundqvist on Brad Boyes and a stunning leg pad stop on Ryan Callahan by Miller at the side of the net during the four on three power play.
As the crowd saluted both teams following the extra period for the incredible effort, the Sabres would see Nathan Gerbe stopped by King Henrik, while Marian Gaborik scored on the opening attempt for the Rangers with a rising shot that hit both inside posts before bursting out of the net.
Brad Boyes made the next attempt for Buffalo, and Lundqivst performed an exceptional diving save to shut him down, while Miller stopped John Mitchell.
Jason Pominville finally solved Lundqvist with a rocket wrist shot to keep the Sabres alive, and Miller made an impressive glove save on Brad Richards to send the contest into extra shooters.
Tyler Ennis, Derek Stepan, and Ville Leino were all stopped, leaving the game in the hands of Rochester native Ryan Callahan, who delivered the game winning goal to move the Rangers into a tie for the President's Trophy, while the struggling Sabres move into a tie with Tampa Bay for 11th place, still nine points back of the final playoff spot in the East.

Something happened to Susie recently that got her thinking about the power of the hand-written word, especially in today's climate of ephemeral, 140-character blitzes of thought:
Living in Atlanta, I learned how powerful a positive remark can be. I was rushing out of the house one day and accidentally locked my toddler, in the minivan, in his car seat, engine running, in the garage. Of course he couldn't reach the lock and the extra key was traveling with my husband. Nic was in no danger, but what the heck do ya do? I called the dealership which was about 6 miles away and explained my situation. I obviously couldn't hitch a ride and go pick up a key. Within 15 minutes an employee was in my driveway with a key. He wouldn't accept any money. I was so thankful, I sat down and wrote a letter to the dealership about their amazing service and wonderful employee, who I am sure had plenty of work to be done that day. To my surprise, they wrote me back. They told me how refreshing it was to get a letter of compliment and they were thrilled I was happy. The letter would go into the employee file of the guy who brought me the key. Wow. I had no idea.
I felt very powerful. But I knew at that moment that a letter of complaint could easily have the same ramifications. I have written them. But, I also recognize that people have burdens. I may be at the return line at Macy's the day that employee found out her mom has cancer. Who am I to think that someone should put their life on hold to make my return quick and seamless. How many times do you get a receipt with a phone number and a code so you can "let them know how they're doing"? Do you feel like anyone really reads that stuff? Are you really in the running for a $5000 gift card? I think those are simply ways to track their customers. But write a real letter and trust me, wheels will be in motion. I know.
So here is my challenge for my blog readers. Write a letter. A letter of thanks or a compliment to someone who maybe made a transaction easier, a shopping experience pleasant, or maybe a product you never knew could work so well was a great surprise. I'm not asking anyone to praise someone for doing their job, but there are many, many people who will exceed all of your expectations. You will be amazed at the power of a positive word. Okay, there ya go, you don't even need to head to the grocery store! So, what are you waiting for? Get in there and write!
I know I am guilty of sharing complaints more than I share praise. This week I'll try to remedy that.
Have you written something positive lately?

The first iPad-only newspaper, The Daily, will cease to exist as of December 15th. As part of a major restructuring initiative at News Corp, some of The Daily's staff will be moved over to The New York Post, but it's not clear yet how many staff will make that transition. In a statement, The Daily's creator and News Corp. founder Rupert Murdoch said that "our experience was that we could not find a large enough audience quickly enough to convince us the business model was sustainable in the long-term."
This shutdown doesn't come as a major surprise — back in the summer, it was reported that The Daily was "on watch" as an option to help News Corp. cut costs. It sounds like The Daily brand will live on, however, with a new release stating the brand will be used in "other channels." Murdoch's new plan is to "take the very best of what we have learned at The Daily and apply it to all our properties." There's no word yet on whether annual subscribers will receive any partial refunds for their $39.99 annual subscriptions, but the app is still available for purchase in the iTunes Store.
Update: TPM has just obtained and published an internal memo regarding the closing The Daily — the full text is below.
To All Daily Staff,
News Corporation made a series of announcements this morning about the future of its publishing divisions. You can read the full press release attached.
Two years ago, we set out to create a revolutionary product that people would love. The Daily delivered great original reporting, excellent design, and custom interactivity to users every day. Although we have over 100,000 passionate paying subscribers, unfortunately we have not been able to build a big enough audience fast enough to make our business model work.
As part of the reorganization, News Corp will look to take the best of what we have done at The Daily and the lessons we have learned, and apply it to our other publishing properties. Some of our assets, technology and personnel, will be absorbed into the New York Post and all full-time staff will have the opportunity to take advantage of various benefits to assist with the transition away from The Daily, including three additional months of pay.
Our iPad app will cease publishing on Dec. 15 with a farewell issue. The Daily has a strong social media presence and a large, engaged community of fans and we intend to continue to engage our social following with our unique take on the news.
The Daily innovated every day. We broke some great stories. We made a publication that a lot of people love. We should be proud of what we achieved.
We'll be working diligently with staff in the coming days to review the opportunities that exist within other News Corporation companies going forward. We will have staff meetings at 11am and 6pm today to provide more detail on what to expect. Please come to one of them, depending on your shift.

I finally got my first copy. There was some sort of hitch in my subscription that we straightened out. I also got last years one the our good friend Becker from Texas wrote about the changes in Cubs. Jim had so much good info that I can not remember it all as much as I would like to.
I am half tempted to list it in an excell spreadsheet so that I can sort by date and or serial # to find things. If jim has done so already i will not need to. If Jim has no objection I will try. Slow typist and mistyping included.

The University of North Dakota men's hockey team is stuck in an extended stretch of adversity the likes of which the program has rarely seen over the past decade.
Eleventh-ranked UND fell 4-2 at Nebraska Omaha tonight, suffering a fourth consecutive loss for the first time since December 2006. The defeat also dropped UND to 1-4-0 in National Collegiate Hockey Conference play and 2-4-1 overall.
Tanner Lane's goal with 6:29 remaining in regulation – when UND could not end an extended shift after killing a UNO power-play – stood as the game-winner.
Josh Archibald sealed the scoring with an empty net goal with 55 seconds remaining. A fourth straight loss was a difficult pill for UND to swallow after rallying from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game.
"We've got to bear down on the little details and find a way to win a hockey game," said freshman defenseman Troy Stecher. "I was taught always to hate to lose and not love to win. Everyone's got to start hating to lose. It sucks. There's no other way to put it. (Losing four games) in a row is something this program doesn't like doing and it doesn't sit well for us."
Lane's goal came shortly after UND had finished off a successful penalty kill, but was unable to find a stoppage or a line change. UNO senior Ryan Walters, an All-American in 2012-13, skated the puck behind the UND net and backhanded a backdoor feed to Lane, who made no mistake staring at an empty net.
"We had some tired legs after the penalty kill. We couldn't get off the ice," said UND head coach Dave Hakstol. "They made a play. After that we made several plays with good opportunities to tie it up. We didn't do it. Hard fought game that went their way."
Sophomore defenseman Jordan Schmaltz, who scored one of UND's two goals, had the best chance to tie the game in the final minutes when he walked in alone from the right circle but was denied by UNO goalie Ryan Massa. It was one of 28 saves for Massa, whose only other blemish was a power-play goal by freshman forward Luke Johnson, his first collegiate tally.
"You can't allow yourself to get frustrated. We're mentally tougher than that," said Hakstol. "Hey, we're going through a tough time. Things aren't coming easy right now. I thought last week we were a big part of our own problem. I thought tonight we worked hard, we executed pretty well and we lost a real hard fought hockey game."
Senior captain Dillon Simpson, who blocked a remarkable eight shots, said every one of the four straight losses has been a winnable game.
"The one thing we have in that (locker) room is belief. Even when we're down, the guys are pushing to get back into the game," said Simpson. "It's just a matter of not taking shifts off. If we just work our asses off and play the way we want to play, we can get wins. That's just not happening right now."
The two teams will include their NCHC series Sunday night with a 5:07 p.m. Central puck drop.
"Tomorrow night," said Stecher, "we've got to find a way to win a 60-minute hockey game or a 65-minute hockey game."
Notes: UND went 4-for-4 on the penalty kill and has not allowed an opponent to score with the man advantage since the 2:55 mark of the season opener against Vermont on Oct. 11. UND entered the night with the nation's top-ranked penalty killing unit at 96.6 percent … UND went 1-for-3 on the power play, the lone tally coming from Johnson … Senior forward Derek Rodwell made his first appearance of the regular season and tied for the team lead with four shots on goal …Rocco Grimaldi snapped a 4-game point drought with an assist on Schmaltz's goal … UNO held a 34-29 edge in faceoffs.

Welcome back, Emile Hirsch. The young actor seemed to have disappeared for a quick moment, but he's coming back with a fury. He's got the indie "Killer Joe" and the blockbuster "The Darkest Hour" headed to screens this year, he's currently filming "The Motel Life" with Stephen Dorff, and now he's adding another project to his plate.
Variety report that he's joining the already ridiculous cast of Oliver Stone's "Savages." Based on Don Winslow's book, the story follows two pot dealers—Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch)—who square off against a Mexican drug cartel when their girlfriend Ophelia (Blake Lively) is kidnapped and held for ransom. Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro are already on board as Elena—the Mexican cartel queen who develops maternal feelings for Ophelia—and an enforcer, respectively. John Travolta will play Dennis, a burned out DEA agent while Uma Thurman is going to be Blake Lively's mom. As for Hirsch, no word yet on what his role is going to be.
Filming on "Savages" kicks off in July, and no word yet on a release date but 2012 is pretty much a guarantee.

Emile has played in some great movies. I still remember him saying "I don't want to play in any bad movies" when offered the role for The Girl Next Door. Hopefully these new ones are good. "Savages" will be either way if Uma Thurman is in it.

I hope this is good, but it does seem to have a whiff of Alpha Dog about it.

just finished this book, and while i think it is fantastic, i have less than high hopes with oliver stone. wall street 2 was one of the worst movies i saw last year, and he has been brutal for years.

Volk is a summary of the work I have done in the last four years. Since then, many movements within Mexican electronic music fused electronic music with popular music. I received a great influence from them and the feedback with other musicians was very strong. The constant in this work is the union of "modern" electronic music with traditional popular sound: music, mass culture or urban subjects. With these ingredients, plus the intention of the Chill ánd Go group and the participation in Urbe Probeta compilation, Volk was developed unconsciously.
"The music is primarily computer generated with some sampling. "Fiesta" uses street sounds and dialoque interspersed with a pounding beat and droning electronic lines. "Diablo" also uses a good amount of latin rhythm among the techno affects. Most of the other tracks are more IDM, depending heavily on computer oriented sounds but still emitting a rare beauty."
Free Albums Galore
|1 Apolo X
As in many of the tracks from Volk, a previous version of this one was played live several times between 2001-2002. It was reconstructed for Volk from scratch, based in the original samples and extended into a longer version.
|2 Marimba
A sample of the work within the Chill ánd Go collective, based in marimba sounds and a tamale vendor announcement. A sound stamp from Mexico City.
|3 Diablo
Diablo was done originally for the videohome Cumbia cachonda from director Christian González, along with other three pieces: Cachonda, Cachonda (Foreplay) and Por debajo del agua. Diablo combines the basic sound of cumbia, as usually is played in Mexico, with simple and danceable electro sounds.
|4 Stravinsky
Another type of mestization: Big Beat with orchestra.
|5 Patria / Extranjero
One of the three pieces of Nortec style in the Volk album. Inspired by a poster Mexico-USA border. The first part was begun in Mexico in 2001 and the final section was finished in Spain in 2004. Both places are for me a foreign country and a homeland.
|6 You are aquí
Tijuana and its legend. A map in the border indicates to the traveller in spanglish: "You are aquí" (Usted está here).
|7 Mac-Ila
Northern Mexico is a great assembly plant ("maquila" in spanish). A great producer of Mac-objects in series. Third and last Nortec piece from Volk.
|8 Por debajo del Agua
Another piece of the Cumbia Cachonda soundtrack. A cumbia güiro and an accelerated trip hop. Corruption as the engine of a country...
|9 Fiesta
A funeral is a celebration without host. (Luis Ignacio Helguera)
Collaboration and simultaneously tribute to the text recited and written by Luis Ignacio Helguera (1962-2003). Images of the dawn after a drunk and sad celebration. Fiesta is part of the Urbe Probeta compilation, an encounter of poets with electronic musicians.
|10 Casa
Sound cuts from my old home.
Volk was released in 2005 and is a compilation of tracks from the last four years. The music is primarily computer generated with some sampling. "Fiesta" uses street sounds and dialoque interspersed with a pounding beat and droning electronic lines. "Diablo" also uses a good amount of latin rhythm among the techno affects. Most of the other tracks are more IDM, depending heavily on computer oriented sounds but still emitting a rare beauty.

Please stay courteous and be sincere (for good and bad!). It can be an interesting read for others, but only if it is constructive and doesn't disparage the artist.
Please write about the music itself and don't be too hard on the sound quality of some demos.

We want Mickey to get the job, says Oxford United skipper
8:00am Monday 3rd March 2014 in U's News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
OXFORD United's squad are firmly in favour of Mickey Lewis getting the manager's job full-time, according to Jake Wright.
The skipper made his first appearance under the caretaker's regime on Saturday, five weeks after picking up a knee injury in Chris Wilder's final game in charge.
It was not a happy return for Wright, who covered the suspended Tom Newey at left back in a 3-0 defeat at Rochdale.
The centre half, who turns 28 next week, made it clear in his opinion the players were keen to see Lewis become the permanent manager.
He said: "I'm saying now on behalf of the boys every single player is behind Mickey Lewis and Andy Melville (first team coach).
"We are desperate for him to get the job.
"I can only speak on behalf of the players. If he gets it we'll be buzzing, if he doesn't then whoever comes in we will be right behind him as well."
His thoughts came minutes after chairman Ian Lenagan had given an update on the search for a new manager.
The U's owner reiterated Lewis was under consideration, but stopped short of appointing him until the end of the season as several other candidates are assessed.
Wright said: "I think if we win every game it makes it impossible for the chairman maybe to bring someone in.
"But at the end of the day the chairman is the boss and he wants right by the club.
"He will do what he thinks is right and he works really hard, which a lot of fans don't see.
"He's got a good team around him, so I'm sure he will make the decision which he thinks is right for the club, as he always does.
"We just want to do the best for whoever is in charge, we want to do our best for Oxford United and for each other."
One area not up for debate was the performance at Rochdale.
Wright said: "In the second half they have dominated the game and were better all over the pitch.
"They won every battle and we deserved nothing out of the game."

I don't expect Jake Wright to be visiting the real world anytime soon. After a second half performance like that on Saturday, it is hard to see what kind of positive impact ML has on the players. The substitutions were predictable; there was a lack of any sense that the midfield badly needed supplementing; areas where we did ok in the first half (Smalley consistently winning flick-ons) simply got lost in the changes. It wasn't just that players were returning from injury and lacked sharpness, it was the whole package.

Hogan's hat-trick must be the easiest he will ever get the chance to score (they even got easier as he went along...). Mickey just stood and watched an seemed as clueless as CW used to when up against it, and the second half capitulation as plain embarrassing. We were lucky to get 0.
It would be great if Mickey were successful - but that's looking increasingly unlikely, I'm afraid.

ECAC-SIDA Donates $5,000 to Maggie Dixon Foundation
(Pictured from left: Joel Fisher, Madison Square Garden Executive Vice-President; Jamie Dixon, University of Pittsburgh Head Men's Basketball Coach; Theresa Weatherspoon, Louisiana Tech Head Women's Basketball Coach; Joanne McCallie, Duke University Head Women's Basketball Coach; C. Vivian Stringer, Rutgers University Head Women's Basketball Coach; Joseph Tartamella, St. John's University Head Women's Basketball Coach; Geoff Hassard, ECAC-SIDA President; Roger Crosley, ECAC-SIDA Treasurer. Photo by Stacy Podelski, 1495 Sports. )
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Eastern College Athletic Conference – Sports Information Directors' Association President Geoff Hassard of SUNY Oneonta and ECAC-SIDA Treasurer Roger Crosley of the ECAC were on hand at Madison Square Garden on December 9 to present a check for $5,000 to the Maggie Dixon Foundation. The money was the result of the annual ECAC-SIDA Charity Raffle and Silent Auction held last June in Pittsburgh.
The presentation took place following the first game of the Maggie Dixon Classic, the event celebrating the life and career of the late Army women's basketball coach. The first game featured Rutgers and Louisiana Tech, while St. John's hosted Duke in the second game.
Prior to the presentation all four teams took the court and lined up from sideline to sideline across the free throw line. Following a brief video about the life of Maggie Dixon highlighting the effect she had on those she coached and those whose lives she touched in other ways, the four competing coaches were asked to come to the center of the court where they were joined by Joel Foster, vice-president of Madison Square Garden, and Jamie Dixon, brother of Maggie and head men's basketball coach at the University of Pittsburgh. Foster made an initial donation of $5,000 from Madison Square Garden.
In the presentation of the ECAC-SIDA check, Mark Fratto, Director of Athletic Communications at St. John's University and the public address announcer for the event read, "Last June in Pittsburgh, the Eastern College Athletic Conference-Sports Information Directors' Association held its annual workshop. The organization voted to donate proceeds from its annual charity raffle and silent auction to the Maggie Dixon Foundation. Through the efforts of ECAC-SIDA Charities Chair Bob Beretta of Army and his committee, and the generosity of the 175 ECAC sports information directors in attendance, EACA-SIDA raised $5,000. Presenting a check to the Dixon Foundation is ECAC-SIDA President Geoff Hassard from SUNY Oneonta and ECAC-SIDA Treasurer Roger Crosley from the Eastern College Athletic Conference. The sports information directors of the ECAC are both pleased and proud to support the Maggie Dixon Foundation."
"It was a tremendous honor to participate in such a worthy event for such a great cause," Hassard said. "ECAC-SIDA has a long history of charitable contributions, and this is the largest donation we've ever made. To be able to showcase the heartfelt generosity of our members on this stage, in front of this type of crowd was a truly humbling and, at the same time gratifying, experience."
"Bob Beretta knew Maggie well and became very close with the Dixon Family through the time of her tragic loss," Crosley added. "Bob was the impetus behind our selecting the Dixon Foundation as our charity in 2012.
"Being in Pittsburgh where Jamie has had so much success provided us a natural link. Bob got us in touch with the right people to make this presentation happen, and our only regret was that he was unable to accompany us and receive the recognition he so rightly deserves."
The Maggie Dixon Classic incorporates fundraising for heart arrythmia research and a Health Fair featuring information booths and free screenings. Along with the two games, the Dixon Foundation sponsored a Heart Health Clinic below the end line seats in the Garden.

ATLANTA -- Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann will continue to travel with the Nationals even though he is out for the season because of innings limitations.
Even so, he will not be idle during the final month of the season, and he will continue to play catch, run and lift weights.
"I'm doing all of my normal stuff. I'm just not going to be pitching," Zimmermann said.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2009, Zimmermann had a limit of 160 innings, which he exceeded by 1 1/3 frames. Until he was declared done, he was Washington's best starter, going 8-11 with a 3.18 ERA.
"I feel great, and I feel strong. I wish I could keep going," he said."I know there is a process where you don't want to pitch too much. If I pitch another 40 extra innings and something happens, you are looking back, thinking, 'Maybe we should have shut him down.' I think it's probably the right move, and then I'll come back during Spring Training and be able to throw 200-plus innings."
In 2012, Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg -- who is expected to make his season debut on Tuesday against the Dodgers after missing most of the season because of his own Tommy John surgery -- are expected to be the 1-2 punch in Washington's rotation.
Zimmermann can't wait for that to happen.
"I'm excited to have him come up this year and be able to watch him," he said. "I've seen him pitch a couple of times. His stuff is electric. I'm sure he will be on the same pitch limit. It's going to be an exciting year next year, and I can't wait."
Ramos remains sidelined with food poisoning
ATLANTA -- Catcher Wilson Ramos missed his second consecutive game because of food poisoning, though he was able to play catch and take batting practice before Wednesday's game against the Braves, an indication that he is feeling better. He could start as early as Thursday against Atlanta.
Ramos believes he contracted the food poisoning on Monday night after eating shrimp and French fries, though it wasn't until Tuesday morning that he started to feel ill.
"I didn't eat anything since yesterday. [When I tied to eat], I threw it up," Ramos said before Wednesday's game. "I was feeling so bad last night. So now [I'm ready] to eat something, but I have to wait a little bit, but I'm feeling better."
Ramos has received most of the playing time behind the plate this season. Entering Wednesday's action, he was hitting .248 with 12 home runs -- a Nationals record for a catcher -- and 40 RBIs. In his last nine starts, he was 9-for-32 with three home runs and five RBIs.
Although he is doing much better at the plate, Ramos feels there is room for improvement. He believes that he needs to be more patient, as he is known for swinging at the first pitch in crucial situations.
"[I have to] just concentrate a little bit more and get a good pitch to hit. A couple of times, I swung at bad pitches. That's the thing I have to fix," he said.

Everyday Minerals Matte Base Reviews
Best mineral powder I have foundThis is my go-to mineral powder. It's the best! First, they don't use animal testing, which is awesome. Second, it's a great product at an awesome price! It has perfect coverage without leaving a sheen like another popular brand. I have normal to combination skin and the matte is perfect. It doesn't leave a cakey or thick look, but absorbs all of the oil on my forehead. You can also use the f...read moreoundation as a concealer. Just dab on a few layers with a concealer brush! There are plenty of colors to choose from and you can order a sample pack so you can find the best color for you. The price is great and you get a large container that lasts forever. I cannot say enough good things about these foundations. — 1 year agolaura_schulz | 14 reviews

"A rare picture where all of the six students from our last Discipleship Training School (Oct. '08 - Feb. '09) look relatively normal.

Federal prosecutors want a judge to postpone the Oct. 11 sentencing hearing of a former Jackson Police Department narcotics officer.
Robert Nikita Shegog pleaded guilty July 3 to his role in a scheme to help a man get a reduced sentence in a drug case in exchange for $45,000.
Authorities say the officers planned to tell the district attorney's office that a man facing drug charges was an informant in other cases.
A motion to continue the sentencing hearing filed by prosecutors says "there are issues that need to be solved which could impact the sentence of the defendant."
The document doesn't describe those issues.
The government requested the hearing be put off until after Dec. 15.

Town Square
Human Relations Commission meeting sparks ire, reignites conflicts

While I think this article mostly describes this meeting, Ms. Trout seriously underestimated the number of people who attended. The room was full, extra rows of chairs were added, and people were standing in the hall. By my guess over 60 people came to the meeting. I assure you more than 20 people in Palo Alto cared enough about the IM issue, PPJC and free speach to show up for this meeting, particularly after the column in the Weekly. You stated 13 people spoke at the meeting, which means only 7 people sat and watched. The vast majority of the people in the room did not speak. I'm not sure if Ms. Trout intended by her low count to imply that people aren't willing to take a public stand for issues they care about, or that the Human Relation Commission is marginal, whatever her intent, she would better serve all of us if she were accurate.
on Jul 25, 2007 at 12:39 am
By the time the meeting began Thursday, a thread on the Weekly's online forum, Town Square, was packed with expressions of speculation, frustration, confusion and anger.
Going into the meeting, Mora said her role "was about repair work."
I was surprised that no one from the HRC engaged in the Town Square discussion. Not Mora, and not even Jeff Blum. Surely he followed a conversation attached to his very own column. At a minimum they could have posted a link to the agenda. The discussion went on for pages before someone stepped in and explained that Blum misrepresented the agenda. This was at 4:50 pm the day of the meeting.
Are they forbidden from entering a public discussion because of HRC rules? I can't imagine that they weren't aware of the discussion. Their silence made a bum situation worse.

I sure hope we're not paying for these clowns.

A very popular initiative that in just three-and-a-half years has provided more than $560 million in loan guarantees to nearly 7,000 veterans to start or expand their small businesses is being renewed for three more years, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Patriot Express loans are offered by SBA's network of participating lenders nationwide and feature one of SBA's fastest turnaround times for loan approvals. Patriot Express loans are available for up to $500,000.
For veterans this is a viable option for securing financing and I encourage qualified entrepreneurs to consider these loans.
Your local SCORE office can assist you in working with an SBA "preferred lender" or respond to this blog with your questions and I'll try to provide more information.
Good Luck!!
Hi Jailbreak, interesting user name :-) All of the SCORE bloggers have varied and extensive careers that require us to stay up to date on issues and events that concern our business and also affect our SCORE clients. I was formerly a mortgage banker and financed HUD apartment loans and also served a consultant to smallbusinesses that were intersted in securing SBA guaranteed loans. This was before I became a SCORE volunteer. I am on numerous lists government and professional associations and receive almost daily information pertaining to SBA and traditional financing opportunities.As a FORMER (the emphasis is intended :-))
This is great! How did you learn this stuff?

Jayson Stark notes that Miguel Cabrera's premature departure from the 2011 MLB All-Star Game due to side stiffness was, like Josh Beckett's sudden scratch earlier in the evening, merely precautionary.
Detroit Free Press reporting that Cabrera told Tigers PR dept. he's "fine" & came out of game as a precaution.
No one, it seems, wants to push himself too hard in the All-Star Game, especially if he's just going to be playing a couple more innings before being replaced by a sub anyway. Cabrera got one at-bat in the game and grounded out to second.
Cabrera doesn't look like the sort of player who stays healthy, but he has played 150 or more games in seven straight seasons and has played in all of the Tigers' 92 games so far. It would be a bit strange if some minor injury in the All-Star Game were the first to cost him serious time, but fortunately for Tigers fans, it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) -- The Quincy School of Music may sit quietly at its spot on 9th and Maine, but its owner is anything but quiet.
It may not always be elegant, or graceful. But for Gus Rieckhoff, this is music to his ears.
"I can say there's nothing more rewarding in life than working with little fourth and fifth graders and see them succeed," Rieckhoff said.
For more than 50 years, Gus has been turning sounds that make most people cringe into music that demands an encore.
"They see in your eyes your interest in their well being and their success. If you generate that enthusiasm through your own personality, yougsters will use you as a model," Rieckhoff said.
So what does someone with more than five decades of musical knowledge charge for a private lesson? Absolutely nothing. If you bring an instrument, he'll teach you how to play it.
"I think it's just important that youngsters have an opportunity. It develops focus, develops personality, develops a lot of oppertunities later on," Rieckhoff siad.
To pay the bills, Gus uses his musical know-how in a different way. Tucked all the way back in his store, he's usually tinkering around with an instrument. If it's supposed to play music, he can fix it.
"I just felt this community needed a full service store where we had music, we had repair, we had good quality instruments for the boys and girls and professionals," Rieckhoff said.
But the store may be on its last song. The 84-year-old says he's getting ready to take his final bow and pass the baton off to someone else.
"I'm hoping I can find someone to take this over and I can make my exit, stay on as a consultant until the day and then it will continue in the future. That's my hope," Rieckhoff said.
And when it comes time for Gus to play his final note, a standing ovation is sure to follow.

Guideline 1. Evaluation of Calcium and Phosphorus Metabolism
1.1 Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, total CO2, and PTH—measured by a first-generation immunometric parathyroid hormone assay (1st PTH-IMA)—should be measured in all patients with CKD Stages 2 through 5. The frequency of these measurements should be based on the stage of CKD (Table 2). (OPINION)
1.1.a Patients with known tubulopathies in Stage 1 CKD should have serum phosphorus levels measured at least yearly.
1.2 These measurements should be made more frequently if the patient is receiving concomitant therapy for the abnormalities in the serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, or PTH (Guidelines 4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9, 10), is a transplant recipient (Guideline 17), or is a patient being treated with rhGH (Guideline 11).
1.2.a The target range of serum PTH, in the various stages of CKD, are denoted in Table 3. (OPINION)
A disorder of bone remodeling, the osteodystrophy of CKD, is a common complication. By the time patients require dialysis, nearly all are affected. The onset of the disorder is detectable about the time 50% of kidney function is lost. 8,9 There are multiple histological types of bone pathology in patients with CKD. At the present time, the ability to diagnose the exact type of osteodystrophy of CKD without the pathological description enabled by bone biopsy does not exist. Since high-turnover osteodystrophy can be prevented, 10,11 patients with CKD should be monitored for imbalances in calcium and phosphate homeostasis, and for 2° HPT, by determination of serum calcium, phosphorus, and PTH levels.
Levels of intact PTH determined by immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) or immunochemiluminometric assay (ICMA) are an adequate screening tool to separate high-turnover bone disease (osteitis fibrosa) from low-turnover bone disorders (adynamic bone disorder). 12-17 While the ability to discriminate between the histological types of osteodystrophy of CKD has been demonstrated with determination of blood levels of intact PTH, the optimal target level for PTH in CKD is not known due to limitations in the available data, and the emerging consensus is that those target levels may be lower than currently thought. 18 Recent studies demonstrate that 1st PTH-IMA overestimate the levels of biologically active PTH by detecting C-terminal fragments missing amino acids from the N-terminus of the molecule, which may have an inhibitory activity. Newer 1st PTH-IMA have been developed to overcome this problem by using an antibody that detects the first several amino acids in a two-site assay, but sufficient research has not accumulated to establish the predictive power of these newer assays, and whether they will overcome the shortfalls in the intact hormone assays. Furthermore, the newer assays have not as yet replaced the intact hormone assays as standard clinical tools.
The predictive power of PTH levels is increased by concomitant consideration of alkaline phosphatase levels, 19 although insufficient data exist to determine the sensitivity and specificity of alkaline phosphatase in osteodystrophy of CKD, or its concomitant use with PTH levels. These studies were performed in the era of high prevalence of osteomalacia, and it remains to be determined whether alkaline phosphatase determinations are additive to the newer 2nd generation PTH-IMA. Several other biochemical markers of bone turnover have been developed (osteocalcin, hydroxyproline) and are possibly useful in the evaluation and management of osteoporosis, but CKD affects each of these determinations, and no evidence of their usefulness in this population exists. 19 No bone imaging methods exist for measuring bone disease that can be used diagnostically in place of bone biopsy for osteodystrophy of CKD.
In adults, blood levels of intact PTH begin to rise when GFR falls below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, and evidence of bone disease due to this 2° HPT may be present at Stage 3 of CKD (Figure 1). Based on data using a less sensitive assay for PTH, it appears that 2° HPT can occur in children in Stage 2 CKD.20 Secondary hyperparathyroidism progresses as kidney function worsens. During this process, changes in blood levels of serum phosphorus (hyperphosphatemia) and calcium (hypocalcemia) occur and contribute to the worsening of hyperparathyroidism and bone disease. Therefore, measurements of serum levels of phosphorus, calcium, and PTH should be made when GFR falls below Stage 2 CKD levels, and these parameters should be monitored thereafter in patients with CKD (Table 2).
Fig 1. Relationship between Serum iPTH Levels and CCR. Values on the y-axis are serum iPTH levels (pg/mL). Values on the x-axis are CCR in mL/min. The lines fitted to the data set are based on 4 different mathematical functions (power, linear, exponential, and logarithmic), rather than on any assumptions about an underlying physiological mechanism. The horizontal line represents the upper limit of the normal range of serum iPTH levels. Reproduced with permission. 21
Most children with CKD or those on maintenance dialysis have some form of osteodystrophy. Despite considerable advances in understanding the pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of osteodystrophy of CKD, an adequate substitute for bone biopsy in establishing the histological type of osteodystrophy has not been developed. In adults, standard bone radiography can reliably detect bone erosions, but has a sensitivity of approximately 60% and a specificity of 75% for the identification of osteitis fibrosa using such erosions (Figure 2). Skeletal radiography is therefore an inadequate test to diagnose 2° HPT. Sufficient data to assess the sensitivity and specificity of other imaging methods in the diagnosis of osteodystrophy of CKD do not exist. Data on the assessment of the usefulness of quantitative computed tomography in the diagnosis of osteodystrophy of CKD are also insufficient. Standard radiography is more useful in the detection of vascular calcification than it is for osteodystrophy.
Fig 2. Summary ROC Analysis of Erosions on X-Ray as Diagnostic for Osteitis Fibrosa. Summary ROC derived from four individual studies assessing the diagnostic characteristics of erosions on X-ray for diagnosis of osteitis fibrosa. Values on the y-axis are the diagnostic sensitivity and values on the x-axis are the diagnostic specificity. The more effective the test is as a diagnostic, the closer it falls to the upper left hand corner of the graph. The summary ROC curve and its 95% confidence interval provide a summary estimate of the performance of the test based on the meta-analytically combined results from all four studies. The mean threshold point is our best single point estimate of the sensitivity and specificity of erosions on x-ray. In this case, the sensitivity for presence of erosions on x-ray as a tool for diagnosing osteitis fibrosa was 59.8% (95% CI: 44.9-73.2) and specificity was 79.9% (95% CI: 63.2-85.2).
In children and adults, multiple studies have been performed using 1st PTH-IMA to diagnose high-turnover bone disorders and distinguish them from low-turnover disorders. In children with CKD Stage 5, data suggest that PTH levels of approximately 200 pg/mL are useful for distinguishing patients with low-turnover lesions of renal osteodystrophy from those with 2° HPT and high-turnover disease. 22,23 A receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis (in essence, a diagnostic meta-analysis) of using 1st PTH-IMA to diagnose high-turnover disorders revealed an estimate of the sensitivity at 93% (95% CI, 87%-97%) and a specificity of 77% (95% CI, 62%-87%), using threshold PTH levels between 150-200 pg/mL. In children, the combination of a serum PTH level >200 pg/mL and a serum calcium value <10 mg/dL was 85% sensitive and 100% specific for identifying patients with high-turnover bone lesions. Serum PTH values <200 pg/mL were 100% sensitive but only 79% specific for patients with adynamic bone.22 Thus, 1st PTH-IMA is a useful test in detecting high-turnover bone disorders (Figure 3).
Fig 3. Summary ROC Analysis of Intact PTH for Diagnosis of High-Turnover Bone Disease. Summary ROC derived from six individual studies assessing the diagnostic characteristics of iPTH levels for the diagnosis of high-turnover bone disease. Values on the y-axis are the diagnostic sensitivity and values on the x-axis are the diagnostic specificity. The more effective the test is as a diagnostic tool, the closer it falls to the upper left hand corner of the graph. The summary ROC curve and 95% CI provide a summary estimate of the performance of the test based on the meta-analytically combined results from all five studies. The mean threshold (indicated in the graph by a diamond icon) is the best point estimate of the sensitivity and specificity of iPTH levels for the diagnosis of high-turnover bone disease.
In adults, studies performed using 1st PTH-IMA to diagnose low-turnover bone disorders use levels of 60 pg/mL as the threshold. In this case, the estimated sensitivity and specificity from the ROC analysis were 70% and 87%, respectively. Thus, 1st PTH-IMA is also useful in diagnosing low bone turnover (Figure 4). Newer assays specific for 1-84 PTH have recently become available and will likely refine and update this information. In the diagnosis and management of osteodystrophy of CKD, the usefulness of these newer assays for PTH is being examined. The normal range for the new assay for 1-84 PTH is 7-36 pg/mL (0.77-3.96 pmol/L), compared to 16-65 pg/mL (1.76-7.15 pmol/L) for 1st PTH-IMA. Thus, the relationship between the two assays is about 1:2 (1-84 PTH to 1st PTH-IMA). The differences in the levels between the two types of assays are a reflection of the levels of circulating PTH fragments that are detected by the 1st PTH-IMA but not by the new 1-84 PTH assay.
Current data are insufficient to assess the diagnostic utility of bone markers such as osteocalcin and serum pyridinoline compounds in the diagnosis of high- versus low-turnover bone disease.
Strength of Evidence
Extensive review of the literature revealed numerous gaps in the available database, necessitating that some aspects of this Guideline be based upon opinion. For instance, there were no data indicating the appropriate frequency with which parameters of osteodystrophy of CKD should be followed.
Four studies in adults and one in children that provided GFR data showed an inverse relationship between serum PTH levels and GFR (Figure 3). The two studies that presented creatinine clearance data in adults showed that serum PTH levels increase as creatinine clearance decreases (Figure 1). A similar finding was seen in children with CKD. It was not possible to find a function that best described the relationship between GFR and PTH levels, or the relationship between serum creatinine or creatinine clearance and PTH levels. Despite this difficulty, these data still permit one to make clinically relevant decisions about when to begin screening for high serum levels of PTH. Based on these studies, it is the opinion of the Work Group that measurements of serum PTH levels in CKD patients should be initiated when CKD Stage 2 is reached.
The most robust available data were related to the use of PTH levels as a marker of osteodystrophy of CKD. In this instance, there were seven studies in adults that met the defined criteria selected for meta-analysis and derivation of an ROC curve. 14,17,24-26 These data demonstrated the usefulness of PTH levels for predicting both high- and low-turnover bone disease (Figure 3 and Figure 4, respectively). Data in children with CKD Stage 5 allow PTH levels also to serve as a predictor of bone turnover based on bone biopsy. 22 The ability of bone imaging methods to substitute for bone biopsy in the diagnosis of osteodystrophy of CKD has only been adequately studied in the case of erosions demonstrated in standard X-rays as a diagnosis of osteitis fibrosa, or in the demonstration of rickets in growing children. A meta-analysis of five studies met the criteria to perform an ROC curve. 14,27-30 The best single-point estimates of the sensitivity and specificity of erosions as a tool to diagnose osteitis fibrosa were 60% sensitivity and 76% specificity. Thus, standard X-rays were not considered an adequate diagnostic tool. There were no adequate studies evaluating the usefulness of quantitative computed tomography (QCT), dual photon absorptiometry, or DXA in the diagnosis of osteodystrophy in CKD patients.
Fig 4. Summary ROC Analysis of Intact PTH for Diagnosis of Low-Turnover Bone Disease. Summary ROC derived from five individual studies assessing the diagnostic characteristics of iPTH levels for the diagnosis of low-turnover bone disease. Values on the y-axis are the diagnostic sensitivity and values on the x-axis are the diagnostic specificity. The more effective the test is as a diagnostic, the closer it falls to the upper left hand corner of the graph. The summary ROC curve and its 95% CI provide a summary estimate of the performance of the test based on the meta-analytically combined results from all five studies. The mean threshold (indicated in the graph by a diamond icon) is the best point estimate of the sensitivity and specificity of iPTH levels for the diagnosis of low-turnover bone disease.
The application of modern techniques for assessing bone turnover from biochemical markers or imaging is severely limited in osteodystrophy of CKD by the effects of CKD on the tests themselves and by the lack of sufficient studies. As a result, accurate diagnosis and management are difficult. The most robust currently available data, using 1st PTH-IMA, permit a general distinction to be made between high- and low-turnover osteodystrophy, but recent studies suggest the need for more accurate assays of PTH levels. Data on PTH and bone disease in CKD Stages 2-4 are missing in children.
Clinical Applications
These Guidelines promote the use of 1st PTH-IMA in the diagnosis and management of osteodystrophy in patients with CKD. They indicate the limited usefulness of other biochemical markers related—in large part—to lack of information. Inadequate data exist for the utilization of imaging techniques.
Research Recommendations
Much work is needed to relate biochemical markers of bone turnover to growth and osteodystrophy in CKD. The role of new PTH assays must be further defined. Optimal clinical practice guidelines await outcome studies on the monitoring of osteodystrophy of CKD, and validating outcome data of the recommendations made in these Guidelines.

Our company has one E6 running on Symbian Anna. On that device Mail for Exchange does not work if the account has security settings (lock code etc) enabled on the Exchange server. I´ve tried multiple accounts that work fine on other phones (including Symbian ^3 devices) and no luck.
After creating accounts that have security settings on the Exchange server, theres a popup "Your account does not have permission to synchronise with current setting. Contact your administrator". It seems that Symbian Anna cant handle security settings on the Exchange Server. Normally the phone asks for permission for the security settings and after accepting the account works and if you decline the account does not work.
The accounts that does not have security settings work fine on the E6. This has never been an issue on any other device or OS.
After adding an account that has sec settings, device lock does not activate and it does not even help if you activate them manually.
Any ideas? Is it a common issue on Anna (waiting for an update...) or one falty phone (since I dont have another Anna device to test this with).
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm seeing this too. I just called to Elisa, our hosted Exchange provider, and they're totally clueless about this. I'd be interested in hearing the solution too.

Can you recover the logs from \MailForExchange and send them to me? Customer care has alerted me to this discussion and I'm interested in collecting more information about it.
By the way, are the results all 'green' for autodiscover tests at www.testexchangeconnectivity.com?
This is a Microsoft test page.
If you cancel the step where Mail for Exchange attempts to determin the servername, and enter it manually instead, do you have the same result?
The error message you write about corresponds to HTTP 403. If the credentials are valid for ActiveSync, then MfE is probably trying to connect to the wrong place, meaning that the servername or port are wrong in the settings.
Again, can you recover the logs from \MailForExchange and send them to me?
22-06-2011 20:50
Hello, I already sent that info to svi78. Actually would like to thank for her for help this far.
I can send you the results of testexchangeconnectivity.com report if you give me your email address.
01-07-2011 14:32
I would like to thank you @treo_ and @user23535 for bringing this issue to our attention.
The reason for the error: "Your account does not have permission to synchronise with current setting. Contact your administrator" was that autodiscover imported the port number to the end of the server name falsely. This has now been fixed.
Another issue was that Nokia E6-00 could not handle very long MS Exchange user id + password combinations on this environment properly. After shortening the combination the problem was solved.
This is fixed in the future release.

HI all,
We are also facing mail for exchange issue with Nokia e6 model, its give us the error "Invalid mail for exchange credentials.check credential setting" I have tried 2-3 users mailbox which are working ok on another phones i.e iphone, other nokia devices e5, e8.. is there any issue with symbian anna os? needs to do some settings at server side?.
Please guide us to resolve the issue.
19-07-2011 17:51
Hi Admin,
i need your help.
with PR1.2 my corporate mail is working with my nokia c7 but after upgrading to Symbian Anna i'm not able to receive or connect my c7 mail exchange to our corporate exchange server. Checking emails using my C7 is important to me as i'm doing it on a every day basis.
note: yahoo, gmail and ovi mail are all working. i'm only having problem with mail exchange.
i will appreciate your repond and help. Thank you very much.
26-07-2011 15:30
did you get any answer on your question?
i have the same problem with my E6. strangely enough i have it now. it worked fine with our first email it services (mamutmail) and now we changed (Cegal) and i can't get the exchange server mails set up anymore. Any help?
my username with Cegal is 8 letters long, the password was 8 and now 10 letters long. both doesn't work. my username with Mamutmail was 20 letters long and the password 6.... so it can't be a reason of the length of the username or password, right?
any ideas?
28-07-2011 11:43
I also have a strange problem with mfe on my new Nokia E6-00 model. I can read my corporate emails, no problems at all, but I cannot replay or compose a new mail. I got immediately an "unable to perform operation". We are running Exchange Server 2003, SP1. In fact the server name used is the one of owa (outlook web access), webmail.ro.dsv.com.... Before, with the same settings, I had no problems on E72 and E71. in the company there are a lot of E5, E71, E72 using mfe without problems. I have no problems in sending emails from gmail or yahoo accounts. There is NO secure connection, the port used is 80. Pls. help.
10-08-2011 17:32
@capcomp514, @Isa_Norway and @schirice
Could you check the Exchange server name from the MailForExchange settings? Select Mail application > Settings > Mail For Exchange > Mailbox > Server name. If server name ends up to the port number, remove port number. The port number is located on Advanced settings.
What is the error message when you try to connect to MS Exchange server?
Check the error message from Mfe logs? The log files (admin_log1.txt) exist on the phone memory under the MailForExchange folder.
If this does not help send me the Private Message to my discussion forum account.
19-08-2011 12:34
hi, thank you for the reply,
the mail server name setting on my c7 is correct it doesnt end with port number, it ends with .com.
and the port setting in the advance setting is 443.
i attached the admin log.txt file (note i renamed the file extension to .log)

Hi SVI 78, Please let me know when fix is available.
I am still getitng the same problem, Details below:
I got an update for Symbian Anna Yesterday on my N8 and my Mails on Exchange stopped working after that. I start getting this error :
Mandatory server policy failed. Pls contact exchange administrator
Please let me know how to get it fixed also is there any way i can downgrade to previous version of Mail for Exchange.
Please help Urgently.
20-08-2011 20:23
I have the same problem with my E7-00. Everything worked ok until I upgraded to Anna and after that haven't been able to connect to Exchange server.
21-08-2011 15:50
Me also!
After the Anna update on my N8, Mail for Exchange now refuses to connect or sync.
This is going to give me a major headache with work.
Come on Nokia, help us out please....
22-08-2011 11:01
I was so feed up, dropped my phone off at Nokia Care today. See if a direct reflash works... keep you posted.

Allen Taylor's curator insight, August 31, 2:04 AM
The Internet of Things is already hear, enabling you to monitor and control a host of devices with your smart phone. Some of the applications available so far seem pretty trivial, however.
Alessio Erioli's curator insight, August 25, 6:25 AM
Although there are some oversimplifications here and there (like the whole thing on creativity as confined in "artistic" jobs and the excluson of the possibility of enhancing human abilities) but the video has a point on inevitability and increasing obsolescence (in absence of adaptation). So, horses became obsolete and unemployable because they reached their adaptability limit. What is the limit of a human being that can enhance and evolve faster right through technology? Or, to put it in Kevin Kelly's words: what is the tipping point at which the ability of technology to alter us AND itself overcomes our ability to alter it?
