No, seriously, the graphical smileys bother me enourmously. I just want to be able to make them text again.
22-06-2011 21:05
Why don't you just send some rude smileys back and threaten to keep doing it until they stop
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :
you can also help others by marking 'accept as solution'

The friendly emoticons are horrible, I can't guarantee I will not murder someone next time I get a text with one in it.
Add an option to disable the graphical display of emoticons, they look ridiculous and childish. They also make my "smartphone" appear like it's some gimmick from the year 1997.
What bothers me most of all is that I see my messages in a different way than my recipients see them, as they do not get the graphical display if they don't have a symbian OS. Possibly leading to a different interpretation.

Oh well screw this, I'll go ahead and modify Symbian 3 myself then. Maybe I should release a version where all smileys are penises.
03-07-2011 15:45
Okay, to gain Symbian source code access and to accomplish my goal I have founded The Foundation For Removal Of Yellow Smileys Because It Makes Me Extremely Aggressive And It Makes My Cellphone Look Like Some Gimmick From The Year 1997 (Official short name: TFFROYSBIMMEAAIMMCLLSGFTY1997)
I have applied at Nokia as a platform developer with my foundation. Just a matter until they officially accept me so I can finally remove the smileys.

PEORIA, Ill -- On Illinois' waters last year there were 101 boating accidents and 17 fatalities. That's why conservation police are patrolling the waters Thursday night to help keep everyone safe.
Officials said due to limited resources they are only able to put conservation police on the Illinois River in the evening hours this year.
However, they will be checking in on boaters after the fireworks have ended, staying on the water until midnight or later.
Since the river levels are finally down and the weather is nice, this is the first big weekend for boaters.
Conservation Police Officer Scott Avery said safety will be a top priority, "If you're going to consume alcohol and operate a boat, that increases your chances of having an accident on the water, so that is definitely one of our targets that we're looking for is drunk boaters. As well as, anyone under the age of 13, 12 or under has to wear a personal flotation or life jacket all the time while they are on the water."
Avery said so far this year, there have not been any boating fatalities and they hope to keep it that way this holiday weekend and the rest of the summer.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Renovations of the Hotel Pere Marquette are well under way, and new construction of the Courtyard Marriott Hotel is just around the corner.
"I think everybody is going to be surprised," said Hotel Developer Gary Matthews. "Because it will look like a brand new hotel the minute you walk in."
Matthews says a couple of hurdles have currently put construction a month or two behind schedule, but that only pushes opening day back a couple of weeks.
Matthews hopes the Courtyard Marriott will be completed by the end of April.
He says demolition along Main Street will continue as soon as Big Al's has vacated from its current location.
According to Al Zuccarini, that could be as soon as the end of the year.
Big Al is building bigger with the hope of bringing a more new-age burlesque to downtown, inviting broader entertainment to the venue, such as comedians and musical acts for dinner shows.
"It doesn't have to be adult entertainment 24/7," said Zuccarini. "And hopefully with the Civic Center, we can do that."
Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis says the Civic Center and an overhaul on re-branding the city's image will be key to bringing new attractions to Peoria.
"I think we're probably going to see a lot of renewed interest in having a Peoria-specific chamber of commerce that really is focused totally on Peoria and the things we have here in Peoria," according to Ardis.
Another plan down the road is the redevelopment of Caterpillar headquarters.
Ardis says with all of the changes, we can expect to see an entirely new downtown within the next couple years.
That's something Gary Matthews says will have been worth the wait.
"I believe it's not only going to be worth it," Matthews said. "I believe that the city will be very proud of what has finally come about."

Governor Jay Nixon ran on restoring 65,000 Missourians to the Medicaid program, cut by former Governor Blunt. Governor Nixon plans to pay for this by charging a Missouri Hospital tax and by reimbursements from the federal government. In the short run this a sound idea; however, given escalating health care costs it is likely that the program will be running large deficits in the near future.
The Republican led House of Representatives cuts the Governors 2010 budget significantly in the areas of social services and the Department of Corrections. The House of Representatives cuts in the higher education budget are balanced by utilizing federal stimulus dollars.
Both the Governor and the House of Representatives rely too heavily on anticipated federal stimulus funds to balance their respective 2010 state budgets. If President Obama lives up to his commitment to reduce the federal deficit by half by 2012, these will be among the first federal funds cut to the states. Therefore, the Governor, the State Senate and the House of Representatives have a great deal of work to do to balance Missouris 2010 state budget as well as to plan for Missouris future state-funded programs and services.

Enterprise Architecture includes the comprehensive business, information and service architecture for state information systems. Minnesota has adopted the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework, which includes a business architecture, an information architecture, and a service architecture. When implemented effectively, this framework will highlight the interrelationships among agency business operations and the underlying technology that supports operations. Without this, agencies run the risk of buying and building systems that are duplicative, incompatible, and unnecessarily costly to maintain and integrate.
Please contact the OET Enterprise Architecture group, email@example.com, for more information about the State of Minnesota's policies and standards for Enterprise Architecture.

Executive Leadership
Current Version, effective July 1, 1994
Information management requires the active support of a top level executive, who must assume responsibility for managing and developing the information resources under his or her control. Because information resources have agency-wide and statewide value, managing them requires authority and accountability that only executive level management can provide.
Steering Committee

OET is developing statewide policies, standards and guidelines that will provide a framework for organizations to use in developing their own policies, standards and guidelines.
Implementation Planning
Current Version, effective July 1, 1994
Planning must be conducted from agency, information resource community and project perspectives. The agency-wide and information resource community perspectives ensure that the right projects are done in the right sequence. The project perspective ensures that the projects are done properly.
Business Model
Current Version , effective July 1, 1994
A business model is critical to business process re-engineering and quality initiatives. Modeling business functions facilitates making decisions and planning.

Distribution Model
Current Version, effective July 1, 1994
A distribution model is critical to illustrating the physical distribution of data stores among the major business locations.
Organizational Structure
Current Version, effective July 1, 1994
Accountability and responsibility for information resources should be agency- or information resource community-wide. The agency or information resource community should be structured so that resources can be appropriately managed and shared.

Glenbow Museum
For a town with such a short history, Calgary does a fine job telling it at the commendable Glenbow Museum, which traces the legacy of Calgary and Alberta from pre- to post-oil.
For a town with such a short history, Calgary does a fine job telling it at the commendable Glenbow Museum, which traces the legacy of Calgary and Alberta from pre- to post-oil.
More evidence that Calgary might be abandoning its bland race to modernity for more thoughtful community-led business is this hybrid cafe-bar, which alters its personality depending on the clientele and the time of day.
Model Milk has a revolving menu that changes before the ink's even dry, so it's impossible to predict what you'll get to eat at the former dairy turned hip restaurant.
Rouge is becoming the city's – and one of Canada's – most celebrated restaurants. Located in a historic 1891 mansion in Inglewood, it's expensive and hard to get into, but once inside you're on hallowed ground. Enjoy the inspired, creative and sustainable food choices and exceptional fit-for-a-king service.
In 1988 the Winter Olympics came to Canada for the first time. Calgary played host, and many of the events were contested at Canada Olympic Park.
Want to see what Calgary used to look like? Head down to this historical park and step right into the past. With a policy that all buildings within the village are from 1915 or earlier, it really is the opposite of modern Calgary.
More than 1,000 animals from around the world, many in enclosures simulating their natural habitats, make Calgary's zoo one of the top rated in North America and almost on a par with Toronto's Besides the animals, the zoo has a Botanical Garden , with changing garden displays, a tropical rainforest , a good butterfly enclosure and the 6½-hectare Prehistoric Park , featuring .
For stunning contemporary artwork, stop in at the Art Gallery of Calgary . What it lacks in floor space, it more than makes up for with the standard of work on display. To learn the history of Calgary's first inhabitants, the Tsuu T'ina (Sarcee) people, check out the Tsuu T'ina Culture Museum .
Cradling the southwest edge of Calgary, this huge park is a sanctuary of wilderness hidden within the city limits. Countless trails intertwine to form a labyrinth, to the delight of walkers, mountain bikers and the many animals who call the park home Severe flooding in the park in the mid-2000s washed away many bridges and, in many cases, severely impacted the landscape.
For a little slice of Central Park in the heart of Cowtown, take the bridge over to this island, with grassy fields made for tossing Frisbees, bike paths and ample space to stretch out. During the summer months, you can catch a Shakespeare production in the park's natural grass amphitheater Watch yourself around the river.
Billed as the greatest outdoor show on earth and now over 100 years old, Calgary's Stampede is world-famous. Rodeos don't come much bigger than this, with daily shows featuring bucking broncos, steer wrestling, barrel racing and, of course, bull riding. At night there's a grandstand show and the ever-popular chuckwagon races.
This 1968 landmark tower is an iconic feature of the Calgary skyline, though it has now been usurped by numerous taller buildings and is in danger of being lost in a forest of skyscrapers.

We are down to the 6th and final week of the Avera Heart Hospital's Mission Nutrition. Nancy Naeve Brown took the challenge and this week her team leader Registered Dietitian Nikki Ver Steeg addresses how to avoid some pit falls when you go out to eat.
The folks at Wild Sage Grille in Sioux Falls were good enough to open their doors early just for us so Avera Heart Hospital Registered Dietitian Nikki Ver Steeg could help us stay on our mission for nutrition when we treat ourselves to a night out at a restaurant. First of all she says, make it a treat, and don't go out to eat 3 or 4 times a week. Try to limit it to 1 or 2 times a week.
Nikki says, "When looking at a menu keep in mind the same things we've applied in our meal planning. Look for a lean protein, fruit, vegetable and a dairy product. You usually don't have a lot of dairy or fruit options but they're there if you ask for it. So again, focus on lean protein, substitute fries or pasta or potato with vegetables and request a bowl of fruit."
Now to my favorite part of the meal the complimentary bread basket.
Nikki says, "An easy way to cut down on calories and the tendency to overeat is to say no thank you. A lot of us are so excited to get something to eat right away because we are really really hungry but pass on it.
Nikki says, "We are ordering the goat cheese salad which I love at Wild Sage Grille and we are adding a chicken breast on the side otherwise it doesn't have a lot of protein and I wanted this to be an entree salad. So I added chicken. We also ordered a buffalo burger and instead of French fries get sautéed vegetables to improve the nutrient density.
Nikki suggests you order the burger with the bun on the side. Only eat one half of the bun if you can help it or forego it all together.
Nikki says, "When getting a beverage go for water. Sometimes when people are eating healthy they chose diet soda as a way to cut down on calories and we know that's not the best option. Sometimes in a group of people it can make you crave more carbohydrates and it's also been shown to promote belly fat. And from my standpoint I don't need help craving more carbs. It tough enough the way it is.
Another idea to avoid overeating get a to-go container when your food arrives and put half of your meal aside before you ever dig in. Just make sure it makes it home, like you. nice and full!
Everyone is invited to the watch the Mission Nutrition: Final Challenge. All the teams are participating in fun games and quizzes relating to everything they've learned in the last month and a half. It's Saturday morning February 18th at 10:30 at the Empire Mall in the Younker's Court.

Great letter, well stated and so, so true!
I must applaud Merkley, Weiden, and our President Obama for continuing to fix the shambles our last administration left our country.
Second, Waste Management considers us exploitable bumpkins.
If you mention Jesus, I'm willing to bet the NR will print it. Depends on how you present and word your discussion. Expressing anger concerning local, state and federal government, again I'll bet, will depend on how you word your discussion again. I for one, am not at all satisfied with the way persons in our government who are of the Republican, radical right wing Tea Party ilk behave, and sometimes they really get me angry. But we are a two party run government so they get to have their say too. They still makes me angry a lot of times. [I don't like enlarging our landfill either. :( ]
I do not like the way our government has intruded into our lives by taking away, to a certain degree, some of our privacy. I believe we can work on that and make some changes, and even now it appears they might be working on it in high government places.
If someone calls your speech, hate speech, consider what you have said. Was it? Why did someone consider it hateful? Well, free speech means someone can call what you say hate speech. If you believe it was not, well find someone else to talk with.
America as I knew it in 1943 slipped away. So too has the America I knew in 1953. Same is true of 1968 and many following years. Those times were both good and bad and we made it through them.
We live, learn and most importantly, we grow/change. Sometimes for good, others not so good. Continue to write Beverly, but not everyone will always agree and line up with you. We exchange ideas in this column "Letters to the Editor."

While there are no magic foods, beverages or pills that can burn fat without the help of proper diet and exercise, drinking green tea may help. Natural chemicals in green tea called polyphenols -- specifically, catechins -- may boost metabolism and help your body burn fat, reports the University of Maryland Medical Center. The best results seem to be in those who are overweight or moderately obese.
Green tea polyphenols also inhibit the lipase digestive enzyme used to breakdown fatty foods and boost internal utilization of glucose by boosting resting metabolic rate.
A general guideline is to consume 2 to 3 cups of green tea per day, or 100 to 750 mg of standardized green tea extract.

Next for Wilkof is the Jack Warden role in the Bullets Over Broadway musical ("I'm following in the footsteps of the greats"). Then, he will try to get off the ground a movie he co-wrote with Ethan Sandler, "Lounge Act," which he hopes to direct. It takes place in the Actors' Equity lounge," he said, "and I have on board Nathan [Lane], Laurie Metcalf, Austin Pendleton, Boyd Gaines and Jessica Hecht."
Estragon, Vladimir, Lucky and Pozzo led the evening's glittering guest list. Come fall, you'll recognize them as Sir Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Billy Crudup and Shuler Hensley in a Waiting for Godot which director Mathias will twirl in rep with the McKellen-Stewart No Man's Land. The latter will go into rehearsal July 1 and put in a month of playing in Berkeley before returning to hook up with Godot for Broadway.
It has been a long wait for this Godot, said Sir Ian. "We did it two seasons in London and all over the world — Australia, New Zealand, South Africa — and now we're finally bringing it to Broadway. We'll probably be here about six months."
A Sting-less Trudie Styler, who's using Mathias soon as a director, was beaming about daughter Mickey Sumner making her stage debut at the Atlantic in The Lying Lesson. Styler promised that she'd be producing The Seagull "later this year" at The Lynn Redgrave Theatre (nee 45 Bleecker), helmed by Max Stafford-Clark.
Out and about, and very good to see on the Rialto again: Barbara Walters of "The View" and Cindy Adams of The Post as well as Pat Schoenfeld and Betty Jacobs.
Also in attendance: Jason Sudeikis with Olivia Wilde, Ben Vereen, in top hat and tennis shoes; Debbie Harry, Edward Hibbert, composer Henry Krieger, Edna O'Brien, Zac Posen, Danish model Heidi Albertsen, Anna Sophia Robb, Countess LuAnn de Lessups and Jacques Azoulay.

Services Department
CONTACT: Colleen Doctorian, public information officer, 816-513-0232
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 1, 2010
Drinking Water Warning
A water sample result reported on May 1, 2010 revealed the sample was positive for E. coli, a common indicator for water quality. The positive sample was collected on April 30, 2010 from a recently installed fire hydrant at 7400 Sycamore. As a precautionary measure the Water Services Department is issuing a boil order for the area south of Gregory, east of I-435, west of Booth, and north of 77th Street.
The presence of E. coli in drinking water is an indication that the water may contain other contaminants and should not be used for drinking water.
Residents in the affected area should boil all water that is used for cooking or food preparation for at least 3 minutes. Residents should also take the following precautions: Dispose of ice cubes and do not use the ice from a household ice maker; Remake ice cubes using only boiled water. Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least 1 minute in clean tap water that contains 1 teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water. Bathing water does not need to be boiled but close supervision of children is recommended to be certain the water is not ingested while bathing. The water can be used for clothes washing.
The Water Services Department collects samples from all areas affected by a water main break or when repairs are made to the distribution system as a precautionary measure. When repairs are being made the distribution system is vulnerable to contamination from soil and other debris that can be dislodged and enter into the exposed pipe. A new hydrant was installed in this location by a private contractor.
Crews have been dispatched to the site and will be flushing lines in the neighborhood and collecting more samples. As soon as the new samples are tested, the results will be made available to the public and the residents in the affected area. The first sample results will be available on Sunday, May 2, 2010. The boil order will be lifted as soon as the water from the affected area is tested and shown to be safe for consumption. The Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department maintains and operates water collection, processing and distribution systems, stormwater management and control systems, and waste water collection and processing systems for residential and business customers in Kansas City and for wholesale customers in the Kansas City.

Interview by Joshua Glazer.
If you attended this year's Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, there was one performance that had folks talking — and it wasn't the helicopter shining a spotlight on the crowd during Jane's Addiction's first song. Rather, it was the set by Lorin Ashton, aka Bassnectar, the socially conscious hero of the growing bass-heavy electronic sub-genre that is currently captivating American audiences. Lit by a mutant cascade of projections and LEDs, Ashton threw down a seismically rumbling set for the manic dancers who'd packed themselves elbow to elbow into "Perry's" (aka the festival's dance area) in order to catch one of the hottest names in dance music.
Playing to this capacity festival crowd represented a sort of mainstream coming-out party for the San Francisco-based producer, who began making music a decade ago in the city's warehouse rave scene before going on to build a stellar reputation through decidedly underground networks like the hippified Burning Man community. But there's nothing "jam band" about Bassnectar's sound, a genreless mash-up of hip-hop, drum 'n' bass, dub step, grindcore and just about any other music you can think of that focuses on the sounds found at the low end. In fact, Bassnectar — who just released Cozza Frenzy, his eighth full-length album — doesn't even like jam bands, as he tells ShockHound in this exclusive interview.
SHOCKHOUND: People are struggling with your new album title, Cozza Frenzy. It's meant to be pronounced "cause-a-frenzy," but everyone keeps saying "coze-a-frenzy."
BASSNECTAR: My tour manager was like, "name me one word where the single o is a soft aah." and I'm like, "mom, pop, spot, pot…cozza." But everyone wants to say cause a, and I don't know how to help them. I don't care. They can call the record Bob. I think names are semi-irrelevant.
SHOCKHOUND: What came first — the spelling, the word, the thought? Was it the song, the lyric, the album?
BASSNECTAR: I love spelling things phonetically. I'm not trying to be hyphy or something. Ever since I was a kid, I loved misspelling things the way they sound to me. I do it all day long, and it's gotten worse since I'm texting all day, or on Twitter. The title is about constructing sound systems and how sound is a form of energy, in terms of how weight can effect the human body. One of my first musical influences was the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. That was the first time I sensed the sensation of sub-bass. I was in the car and my mom was yelling and trees were bending and the car bouncing around and I just feel this sensation. Ever since, I've been fascinated with the concept. It was also a response to a tour last year, when we did 48 nights and 45 were sold out, and it was just night after night of complete frenzy in these random towns where I would never have expected to visit, much less play on a Tuesday night. I guess that's the meaning of the song.

2009 has been quite a year for Alice Russell. Local and fellow SF label, Six Degrees Records released "Pot of Gold" – produced by TM Juke now followed by this two volume album of 32 remixed tracks.
Like previous remix projects, Alice's funky, soulful original album has been given the world class remix treatment from an all-star cast of producers including Mr. Scruff, DJ Vadim, Om's very own J-Boogie, Shawn Lee, Ohmega Watts, DJ Day, and many more!
Alice Russell – Let Us Be Loving – Dir Steve Glashier 2009 from Steve Glashier on Vimeo.
Alice has developed a burgeoning career as one of the hottest UK soul singers with growing audiences around the world. While comparisons have been made to other popular British vocalists like Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Adele, one listen and look at Alice and you can immediately tell she's in a class all by herself. She has performed alongside well respected company that includes Roy Ayres, The Roots, Lonnie Liston Smith, De La Soul, Quantic, and The Quantic Soul Orchestra to name a few. In addition to this prolific musical output, Alice's live performances continue to flourish with her ability to captivate an audience and to hold their attention throughout, expertly tugging at the heartstrings.
I've been following Alice Russell for years and fondly remember her first trip to the states as a Tru Thoughts artist playing at a tiny venue here in SF. She has since moved on to a new label and larger venues.
If you aren't a fan already, get ready to purchase the entire Alice Russell catalog.

The clip provides a bit of everything: ranging from Blu & Exile talking about their new album to some hot sets from J Rocc and DJ Spinna. Large Professor throws down particular hard around the 14 minute mark of the podcast. He gives his shoutout to hosts Blu & Exile, and then lays down some ill tracks, mixing and scratching at a high level like always. Personal favorite track: mixin of ODB's 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya' with a hot r&b sample around the 23-24 minute mark.
All in all, this podcast gives some sick mixes and tracks from some of the best out there. Just because you can't live in the Big Apple doesn't mean you have to miss out on the fun.

So I'm taking this music class at U.C. Berkeley entitled AfroFuturism. We study the reoccurring themes of space, technology, and the future in African American music. We've looked at several artists who incorporate such ideas, everyone from Sun Ra to Earth Wind and Fire to Kanye West.
One last note on philosophical content. The track starts off with a british voice saying "auto-tune activated", which I think is great. Many people caste auto-tune off as an excuse for poor vocal qualities. I think there is much more forethought that goes into using auto-tune (not all the time); there's a deep history with using vocal changing technologies in African American music like the talk box and vocoder( I know kraftwerk are white Germans), and I think Amplive is saying something when he decided to use such technologies. What he's getting at I'll leave to you.
Okay, besides the philosophical content (which I think everyone should delve into), Gary is a Robot is ridiculously catchy and well produced. All the synths and drums chosen are perfect, and despite some of the darkness in the vocals, i''s a real upper track. I will definitely be running to this and/or forcing it into whatever car happens to be taking me across the bride tonight.
There are also some awesome remixes that you can pick up at turntablelab.com. Trust me, this is a fine addition to your collection, and perfect to drop at your halloween party.
The remix single features remix work from James Curd, Grand Theft Auto, Al Velilla, and one of my favorites is the Blu Jemz.

Staying true to form, 'Ernest Gonzales' new EP, Self Awakening, plays with experimental synth lines to invoke an introspective melody. Leading the way towards self-enlightenment is the first track, 'Self Awakening.' Like the title suggests, the buildup and retreat of the percussion help to invoke a wide array of emotions. Gonzales takes an unassuming, yet provocative track, throws in the occasional power synth chord and gives it some added authority to create a truly self-awakening track. He is on to something in this EP, as he has effectively created a musical version of an individual's journey to becoming self-aware. Across the board on the EP, minimal synth lines, combined with effective drum beats make for consistently solid tracks full of heavy emotions. Throw in some awe-inspiring remixes featuring Faunts, Take, and Yppah, Mexicans with Guns, and CYNE, and you've got yourself a must-have EP.

Just in case you havn't heard, there's nothing like it. Nothing! In my opinion VonStroke's new album "Bird Brain" further cements his position as a one of a kind in a genre filled copiously with similar acts. His ingenuity for composition really shines in tracks Vocal Chords and Jasper's Baby Robot; his awesome weirdness emanates fully in Beat that Bird and Monster House—going on my Halloween mix.
If you're pressed for time visit DirtyBird Records and sample Vocal Chords and Beat that Bird. I think these two tracks are really interesting. Vocal Chords is an earthy, ambient track with unique synth-voice sounds that work perfectly for a drive through Big Sur, an at home yoga sesh, or a late night contemplation on whether you're a cyborg. Beat that Bird shows VonStroke's uncanny, unique ability to drop FAT four-on-the-floor bass kicks with sparse textures you've never heard before; I can only imagine how this tune would ring at Mighty.
All in all, it's a work that really shows Claude VonStroke's ever-evolving character. Again, you can hear pretty long snippets of Bird Brain here and make your own call, but I'm pretty sure you'll be pleased!

Memorable Season Ends For Jacksonville With 14-7 Loss to No. 13 Denver In NCAA Tournament

Dolphins program looks to build upon first NCAA appearance
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A memorable fourth season for the Jacksonville women's lacrosse program came to an unfortunate end on Friday as the Dolphins dropped a 14-7 decision at No. 13 Denver in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
"I think this was a great experience to have an opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament and it's certainly a completely different experience for our team," said Head Coach Mindy McCord. "I think it's a great program builder for us to be able to now have this experience."
Denver (18-2) scored three times in the opening five minutes before the Dolphins were able to get on the board. A free position goal by Taylor McCord (Jacksonville, Fla.) at the 21 minute mark seemed to energize the offense, but the Pioneers continued to control the draw circle.
With the offensive possession limited, Jacksonville fell behind 7-1 before Nikki Erdely (Cumming, Ga.) scoring in the closing seconds of the first half.
"You can't lose 21 draws and not get ground balls and expect to win a game," said McCord. "We struggled with draw controls and ground balls today. Kudos to Denver, they did a really great job with possession skills and we took four shots in the first half. For us to play our game we have to take more shots than that. Those were critical possessions that if we could have converted 50 percent on I think would have given us more opportunities on the offensive end."
The Dolphins started to rally at the start of the second half with back-to-back goals from Ali Hoffman and McCord. The pair of scores closed the gap to 8-4 with 21 minutes remaining. The Pioneers would mange to keep Jacksonville at a comfortable distance however as they controlled possession and added five more unanswered goals over the next 10 minutes.
Seniors Amanda Hurley (Columbus, Ga.) and Rachel Krell (Apooka, Fla.) sparked a late three goal spurt in the final six minutes, but it wouldn't be enough as the Dolphins season came to a close.
As the final buzzer sounded it brought about an end of a historic run for the first four-year senior class in program history.
"None of these kids were top 100 recruits when they came here and four years later they're contending with some great teams in the NCAA Tournament," McCord said of her seniors who compiled a 50-26 overall record along with three conference championships
"I think that these seniors are incredibly hard workers and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them believing in a vision that this is where we could be. I can't thank them enough for their leadership, hard work and believing in our program"

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, Trailers/Clips, HorrorI hate to speak poorly about any vampire film that portrays the bloodsuckers the way I prefer -- you know, sucking blood and generally being total badasses -- but 30 Days of Night was never my thing. I am a big fan of the film series' inspiration, Steve Niles comic of the same name, and the story's concept should have translated to something great but I was left feeling indifferent. Fans of the series will be happy to know that it will continue on in 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, this time on the DTV circuit, and judging from the new red band trailer it seems to be just as well made as its predecessor.
Melissa George has been replaced by Kiele Sanchez as Stella, one of Barrow's survivors of the vampire massacre that took place a year ago. She has been spending her time traveling the world trying to convince others of the existence of the deadly creatures that took her husband's life. A group of other survivors recruit her to help them fight back, and this time the battle centers around the Queen of the vampires, Lilith (Mia Kirshner). Ben Ketai directs Dark Days and Steve Niles lent his talents to the script, which should appease fans.
The film is slated for a US DVD and Blu-ray release on October 5, and will make its way across the pond for a UK DVD/Blu-ray release on October 11. Let us know what you think of the trailer, which you can check out after the jump.

Best flashlight I ever owned. This Gerber flashlight…
Source: bought it new
Best flashlight I ever owned.
- Very even field of illumination
- One common AA lithium cell provides plenty of power
- Rugged machined aluminum alloy construction
- Twist on/off switch prevents accidental discharge
- O-ring seal makes flashlight practically waterproof
- Can clip on bill of baseball cap for headlamp
- Large enough to hold in hand
- Dark green color easy to loose at night
This Gerber flashlight produces a very even field of illumination which makes it a joy to use. Because the field of illumination is so even. the illumination provided by the single bright LED is more than enough to dig around in a pack, or fix dinner, read a guidebook or put up a tent.
The flashlight comes with a clip similar to the kind found on ballpoint pens and ithe flashlight is small enough and light enough to be clipped onto the bill of a baseball cap and used as a headlamp.
I have hiked in the black of night, with a 50 pound pack, under an old growth canopy, along Forest Service trails using my Gerber flashlight for a headlamp; and when I turned the flashlight off, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. The flashlight also has enough power to read unlit street signs from the car in dark neighborhoods.
The AA battery is easy to find and if you use a lithium battery the battery should have years of shelf life (read the battery) and many hours of useful light left over as well. The twist on and twist off switch makes accidentally draining your battery while the flashlight is in your pack an unlikely possibility.
The twist on/off switch also makes sealing the flashlight against water damage reliable with the use of its "O" ring.
The construction is of rugged machined aluminum alloy. Using the AA battery makes the flashlight small, but not so small as might make it easy to loose track of.
The flashlight has no illuminated parts except the LED. The only light you see is that which is being reflected from objects being illuminated. Because the on/off switch as operated by twisting the rear of the flashlight, this lack of illuminated parts is not a problem, because you never have trouble finding the switch. Not having an illuminated head portion on the flashlight is an unexpected bonus because the only light you see is reflected off the objects you are trying to illuminate; there is no unwanted glare.
I only find two drawbacks:
- You could easily lose this flashlight because of its dark color so I always attach a lanyard of a bright color.
- If you lay the flashlight down on a rock on a ridge where the flashlight is shining out into a clean, thin, high altitude night, you may have trouble finding your flashlight, or remembering that it is turned on if the beam is not illuminating some surface.
The Gerber Infinity Ultra Task Light is among my very…
Price Paid: $20
The Gerber Infinity Ultra Task Light is among my very favorite flashlights. I never go on a trip without it and in fact I keep one by my bed for power outages, emergencies, etc. This flashlight is extremely sturdy... the sturdiest I've ever seen. With its twist type on/off switch it's simple, water resistant and fool proof - no broken or stuck switches.
Most importantly, it has a phenomenal burn time on one AA battery - 40 hours! Notice that this flashlight uses a single AA battery, not the more common AAA. Though somewhat larger and heavier than a AAA battery, a AA has many times more energy capacity... and it's still pretty tiny. This sturdy little guy would probably be too heavy for the ultralight set and would be a bit bulky to put on your key chain.
And it's important to note that this is not a very bright flashlight; it doesn't exactly project a beam. Rather it projects a rather broad, even and not-so-bright area light. But in many ways, this is actually an advantage! This is in large part what accounts for the tremendous burn time on a single battery. What's more, I find that while not as bright as most other flashlights, that the even light is ideal for using for long periods as an overhead light when suspended from the attic of my tent or over my cook area outdoors. And it's ideal for reading at night once you've snuggled into your sleeping bag or rustic overseas hotel room.
There are many good LED flashlights for general use. But for a dependable, general use, and especially for a dependable, ultra long life emergency light, I depend on my Infinity Ultra Task Light!

If you live in Weston or Schofield, you need to get your car off the street.
The Village of Weston and the City of Schofield have issued a snow removal emergency notice from 10:00 Thursday night to noon on Friday.

The NYPD says a man being arrested for trying to get into the subway without paying attempted to choke an arresting officer.
Police arrested Daniel Walker, 19, of Lenox Ave. on several charges after the attack on Monday morning.
Police say that Walker had tried to jump the turnstile at the 8th Ave. and 42nd Street station. An officer at the station saw it and moved in.
Walker is alleged to have resisted arrest and was found to be on top of the arresting officer and choking him when back-up arrived.
The officer was taken to Cornell Hospital in serious but stable condition.
Walker was eventually arrested. He faces assault, theft of service, resisting arrest and criminal trespass charges. It was unclear when he was to be arraigned and if he had a lawyer.
The NYPD did not release the name of the wounded officer.

Type: Case Report
Journal: Autism Insights
Citation: Autism Insights 2010:2 1-11
doi: 10.4137/AUI.S3252
Background: Children with developmental disorders experience chronic gastrointestinal symptoms.
Aims: To examine the nature of these gastrointestinal symptoms and histologic findings in children with autism spectrum/developmental disorders and ileocolonic disease.
Methods: Chart review. 143 autism spectrum/developmental disorder patients, with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, undergoing diagnostic ileocolonoscopy.
Results: Diarrhea was present in 78%, abdominal pain in 59% and constipation in 36%. Ileal and/or colonic lymphonodular hyperplasia (LNH), defined as the presence of an increased number of enlarged lymphoid follicles, often with hyperactive germinal centers, was present in 73.2%. Terminal ileum LNH presented visually in 67% and histologically in 73%. Colonic LNH was multifocal and presented histologically in 32%. Ileal and/or colonic inflammation presented in 74%, consisting primarily of active or chronic colitis (69%). Ileal inflammation presented in 35%. Presence of LNH significantly predicted mucosal inflammation. Patients with ileal and/or colonic LNH had lower mean/median age than those without; patients with ileal and/or colonic inflammation had lower mean/median age than those without. There was a significant association between ileo and/or colonic inflammation or LNH, and onset of developmental disorder; plateaued or regressive onset conferred greater risk than early onset.
Conclusions: Patients with autism or related disorders exhibiting chronic gastrointestinal symptoms demonstrate ileal or colonic inflammation upon light microscopic examination of biopsy tissue. Further work is needed to determine whether resolution of histopathology with appropriate therapy is accompanied by GI symptomatic and cognitive/behavioral improvement.

The evening productions were very Disney quality style shows and will not disappoint. The smaller shows included a ventriloquist, magician and a juggler that were very entertaining and kid friendly. We enjoyed both ports of call and getting off and on the ship fast and easy. I would recommended Stingray city for Grand Cayman as a port adventure.
There were a lot of kids on the cruise but the ship had many activities throughout the day so there was always something to do. We only took advantage of the kids club one day for a few hours but my kids loved it and would have stayed longer if time allowed.
I would definitely sail the ship again with my family!

The Four Reliances, sometimes called the Four Reliables, are a list of guidelines for a student of the Buddha Dharma. Versions of the Reliances can be found in several Mahayana Sutras.
The Sanskrit word translated into English as "reliance" or "reliable" is pratisarana, which means "leaning or resting upon." The root word sarana means "refuge," and it's a word that also appears in the Going for Refuge liturgy.
Since the Reliances originated in Mahayana scriptures, it is unlikely they are the words of the historical Buddha. Scholars believe the scriptures associated with Mahayana Buddhism mostly were written four centuries or more after the life of the Buddha. However, these texts are respected for their deep wisdom, even if the author is unknown. (See also "Buddhist Scriptures: An Overview.")
There are different versions of the Reliances, and the advice is not always in the same order, but this is common:
Rely on the dharma, not the teacher.
Rely on the meaning, not the words.
Rely on explicit meanings, not implicit meanings.
Rely on wisdom, not on consciousness.
In The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (page 140), the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche presents the Reliances this way --
Rely on the message of the teacher, not on his personality;
Rely on the meaning, not just on the words;
Rely on the real meaning, not on the provisional one;
Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary, judgmental mind.
Let's look at these one at a time.
Relying on the Dharma, Not the Teacher
Another way to put this first Reliance is, Rely on the Dharma, not the person expounding it. This doesn't mean we should avoid teachers, however.
In the West, many of us were raised in another spiritual tradition, or no tradition, and we entered Buddhist practice as adults without knowing much about it. Newcomers tend to fall into one of two extremes.
Some of us really are looking for a master to follow. We think that someone out there can "fix" us and make our lives better. Others of us avoid teachers, often because of personal issues about authority figures. Or, we might think we are smart enough to "get" this by ourselves, and we don't need anyone telling us what to believe.
Both of these extremes are pitfalls, and they are both rooted in the same self-other dichotomy, the same delusion. Clinging to something or avoiding something both come from seeing oneself as separate from everything else. Liberation from this delusion is enlightenment.
Frankly, you aren't likely to free yourself from a delusion while you are catering to it. Where is the middle path between clinging and avoiding? Finding equanimity, the path between extremes, is essential.
The role of the teacher varies somewhat between one school of Buddhism and another, but usually they are guides or spiritual friends. Believing everything they say usually isn't the point. See "Finding Your Teacher" for more.
Relying on the Meaning, Not the Words
This is especially critical for those of us in the West, because we're learning from translations into western languages, and a lot gets lost. I've seen people fall into misunderstandings because of bad translations. This is another argument for working with a teacher who can point out where English isn't conveying the original meaning.
We may have come from a religious tradition in which a holy book is given absolute authority, and the faithful are required to accept what it says. Buddhism doesn't work that way. The revered sutras and talks from teachers give you guidance for finding enlightenment; merely believing what they say isn't the point. See "Overview of Buddhist Scriptures" for further explanation.
However, studying the traditional texts is invaluable. The question is, how do we learn to distinguish the meaning from the words? And the answer is, through insight and practice. It usually takes some time.
Relying on the Explicit, Not the Implicit, Meaning
What does this mean? This is often explained as the difference between sutras that must be interpreted (implicit) and those with a clear and unambiguous meaning (explicit).
Sogyal Rinpoche's version may be a little clearer. He writes, Rely on the real meaning, not on the provisional one. "Provisional" teachings refer to doctrines that we conceptualize and try to "figure out" until we realize the truth of the teaching for ourselves. See also "The Three Turnings of the Dharma Wheel."
Relying on Wisdom, Not on Consciousness
To me, this fourth Reliance is a restatement of the third one. And I like the way Sogyal Rinpoche words it -- Rely on your wisdom mind, not on your ordinary, judgmental mind.
"Wisdom mind" is a bit hard to explain, but through practice, the part of our mind that constantly judges and discriminates gets quieter. The wisdom mind is vast and clear and accepts everything. The wisdom mind comes forth when we realize for ourselves and no longer have to "figure it out."
When we are new to practice and first begin to understand what the dharma asks of us, it can be overwhelming. Awakening the wisdom mind can seem as impossible as breaking apart an iceberg with a toothpick.
But if you feel that way, you are very fortunate. A great many people learn a little about Buddhism and find the implicit, provisional teachings perfectly satisfying, and never take it further. If it doesn't satisfy you, if you see there is more, you are more likely to keep going.
Dogen said, "When dharma does not fill your whole body and mind, you think it is already sufficient. When dharma fills your body and mind, you understand that something is missing." So please don't be discouraged.

Strategic Plan
The Native American Journalists Association leadership drafted a strategic plan in January 2013 for the organization as it enters a pivotal two-year period of growth, challenge and change.
Executive Director Pamala Silas, who joined NAJA in mid-December 2012, guided the planning, which took place Jan. 11-12 at the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Several factors led the board to enter the strategic planning process at the beginning of this year. Most important among them was a need to reestablish the value of individual NAJA memberships amid massive changes in the journalism industry. The approaching 30-year anniversary also emphasized the importance of revisiting NAJA's history and understanding its vital place in Indian Country.
Five major goals emerged from the two-day planning session:
- Improve and increase Natives' media presence by elevating NAJA as the go-to resource for a Native journalistic talent pipeline and source of information for our field.
- Review and upgrade the current governing structure.
- Grow membership through an improved internal system, incentives and restructuring.
- Raise NAJA's profile and rebuild our brand.
- Deliver quality programs and support services to increase membership value.
NAJA leadership intends to significantly strengthen the organization in each of the listed areas by 2015.
We recognize that not meeting the majority of these goals would mean American Indian communities would be without a strong voice that fundamentally understands the nation's news industry and can affectively advocate for press fairness. This, in turn, also would mean Indian Country would not have a strong organization fully focused on addressing and improving news coverage about Native Americans.
NAJA thanks Assistant Dean John Hockett, of Gaylord College, for contributing to the planning process.
NAJA is seeking comment from members on this draft of the 2013-2015 strategic plan. Please enter your comments at the bottom of this web page or email board members directly.

Once 3D printing becomes mainstream, manufacturing companies fear that open season will basically be declared for piracy of physical goods -- just as digital downloads reshaped the music industry. Why purchase that fancy new iPhone case, after all, when you can just grab the digital CAD file for free from a website and print it at home for just the cost of some plastic filament?
California-based Authentise wants to allay those fears with a new service called SendShapes. The new service, launching in Alpha status in September, aims to accomplish for 3D printing what Netflix is doing for video streaming: Making it as easy and convenient as possible for users to purchase the right to print an official design for their favorite toy figurine, smartphone dock, or table saw guard.
[ Understand how to both manage and benefit from the consumerization of IT with InfoWorld's "Consumerization Digital Spotlight" PDF special report. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ]
Under Authentise's scheme, the creator of a 3D design would upload their file to the company's servers, then the end user would stream the uploaded file in pieces as needed by the 3D printer. That streamed file's good for one-time use only: Once the object is printed, all traces of it disappear on your PC. The approach is similar to how Netflix sends video files to your computer, according to MIT Technology Review.
Authentise hopes its approach will allay piracy fears and unlock the coming universe of 3D printing to makers of popular goods.
The ability to print 3D objects may seem limited right now, but there's no telling what crafty 3D printing geeks will be able to craft in their parent's basement over the coming years. One Texas man has already figured out how to print a firearm, and a New Zealand man is printing a full-size plastic replica of a 1961 series II Aston Martin DB4.
Why pay for 3D designs?
Authentise's approach indeed holds appeal. If you needed to print out a new leg for an Ikea side table, it would be better to get the official 3D design rather than a random CAD drawing pulled off The Pirate Bay's Physibles section. Buying an official Elmo toy design for Christmas would also be easier than trying to create your own version.
But there's no getting around the fact that Authentise's approach is yet another form of digital rights management (DRM) that enforces restrictions on the user. If the model doesn't print out properly, for example, how easy is it to ask for a do over?

This weekend marked the 44th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon -- but do the younger generations appreciate what the technological achievement meant?
An overwhelming 80 percent of Americans who were eight or older when Armstrong landed on the moon remember exactly where they were at the time of the event, but a 2009 survey showed that the moon landing had fallen in the public's view of top American achievements.
In fact, just 12 percent of Americans think putting a man on the moon was the nation's greatest achievement over the previous half century.
The U.S. realized it was deficient in the fields of science and technology back in the 1950s following the launch of Sputnik. This led to a national focus on education in these areas and a large increase in the number of scientists and engineers in the workforce.
Now, there are few iconic role models attracting the best and brightest students of today to those fields, leaving many to wonder if the 1969 moon landing was important for any other reason than creating sense of national pride.
The 2009 study found the Baby Boomer generation—born between 1946 and 1964—was the only group of Americans to remain consistent in their view of the man-on-the-moon achievement.
The Pew Research Center poll asked Americans to name the country's greatest accomplishment of the past 50 years. About a quarter of Americans (27 percent) said they viewed feats in science, medicine or technology as the greatest achievement. Fully 17 percent of the public said civil rights or equal rights were the greatest achievement in 50 years. Another 10 percent said electing a black president was the greatest accomplishment.
These figures represented a decrease in public opinion about the importance of space exploration since 1999. At that time, almost half of Americans (47 percent) mentioned accomplishments in science, medicine or technology as America's greatest achievement and 18 percent specifically mentioned space exploration and putting a man on the moon.
FOX 9 News spoke with James Flaten, associate director of the Minnesota Space Grant Consortium and associate professor at the University of Minnesota's aerospace engineering department, about the figures and what the future may be for space exploration.

Mike Woodson and Lawrence Frank remain the leading contenders for the still-open Detroit Pistons head coaching job, reports ESPN's Marc Stein. Woodson, who most recently coached the Atlanta Hawks before being fired in 2010, previously served as an assistant in Detroit under Larry Brown. Frank coached the New Jersey Nets before being relieved (in the truest sense of the word) of his duties during that team's historic futility streak to start the 2009-10 season.
The Pistons fired John Kuester after two mostly miserable seasons, and according to Stein, are committed to hiring a coach with experience in the first chair after striking out with first-time head coaches Kuester and Michael Curry before him. The other candidates who have interviewed with Detroit's management team include Pistons legend Bill Laimbeer, Magic assistant Patrick Ewing and Bucks assistant Kelvin Sampson. None of those three have served as an NBA head coach. Laimbeer did win a title as head coach of the WNBA's Detroit Shock, and Sampson was a successful head coach at the NCAA level before scandal pushed him to the pros.
Stein reports that new franchise owner Tom Gores' management team was impressed with Frank, who is Doc Rivers' top assistant with the Celtics.

The Oakland Raiders will rreportedly have Pro Bowl kicker Sebastian Janikowski available on Thursday Night Football. Janikowski has been dealing with a hamstring issue the last three weeks but was able to kick this past Sunday against the Denver Broncos. He has sat out practice all week for the Raiders, but likely tested it sufficiently yesterday to give the team the thumbs-up heading into the the huge divisional showdown with the San Diego Chargers.
Janikowski normally is a huge addition to the Raiders offense because he is so good when it comes to 50+ yard field goals. While he does not finish at the top in terms of overall accuracy, few kickers can match him on 55-57 yard field goals. That usually means that when the Raiders get to their opponent's 40 yard line, they are officially inside Seabass' range.
While the Raiders will have their big kicker in the lineup, there will be some concern about kicking those 50+ yard field goals. It will be interesting to see what options the Raiders consider that first time they are faced with that kind of decision. Whether they kick or punt will tell us a lot about how well Janikowski actually feels.
For more on the Raiders head over to Silver And Black Pride. For more on the Chargers, check out Bolts From The Blue. Follow the rest of Week 10 at SB Nation NFL.
