Old Bria emerges in UConn romp

HARTFORD — Heading into the season, it would have been easy to make the case that Bria Hartley was the best player on the UConn women's basketball team.
As the lone college All-American on the roster, the confident junior guard was coming off a strong preseason that prompted Coach Geno Auriemma to acknowledge she was in the best shape of anyone on the team.
She had also honed her competitive edge by winning the gold medal at the FIBA 3-on-3 World Championships in Greece in August.
Everything seemed in place for a great season. But then after taking part in only the first three days of practice this season, a lingering ankle injury that Hartley suffered during the 3-on-3 World Championships sidelined her.
Upon re-evaluation, the injury proved to be a high-grade sprain in her left ankle and a partially torn ligament. Forced to sit out a full month, she didn't return to practice until Nov. 20 and missed the Huskies' first two games.
"Then you come back and you're struggling,'' Hartley said. "It's hard to deal with that. But I had my teammates behind me to help me and motivate me. An the coaches. So I just had to stay positive and stop thinking too much and stop stressing every little thing I did wrong.''
For the first time this season Wednesday, Hartley played with focus and confidence in scoring a season-high 21 points as UConn returned from its 12-day break for final exams with a resounding 97-25 victory over Oakland in front of a crowd of 8,325 fans at the XL Center.
The night was also highlighted by a moving pregame tribute honoring the 26 students and faculty members of the Sandy Hook Elementary School victims who were killed last Friday in Newtown. UConn's players, cheerleaders and band members took part in a candlelight ceremony at midcourt along with the Governor's Color Guard.
While the players admitted it was emotional for them, once the game started it was all business.
The Huskies allowed only two Oakland field goals for the entire first half as they jumped out to a 61-12 lead by intermission. UConn scored the first 14 points of the game and led 40-8 by the time the Grizzlies scored their second field goal of the game with 7:02 to play in the half.
Oakland shot just 2-for-25 in the first half and turned the ball over 13 times.
By game's end, there was plenty for the Huskies to be pleased with. Defensively, they held Oakland to 7-for-47 shooting from the field (15 percent) and forced 24 turnovers.
Individually, they were led by Hartley, who also had six rebounds, four assists and five steals. Breanna Stewart also contributed season-high totals of 21 points and 13 rebounds while Brianna Banks chipped in with 18 points and six rebounds. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 14 points and nine rebounds.
The one bit of slight disappointment was that center Stefanie Dolson (nine points, six rebounds, four blocks) left the game with 13:56 to play after painfully rolling her left ankle. The team can't afford any more injuries to its post players as both Morgan Tuck (bruised right knee) and Kiah Stokes (right shin stress reaction) missed the game. Stokes may miss several more.
Dolson said after the game she was fine and could have returned if the team needed her. It didn't thanks to the disparity in talent and the tone set by Hartley, who tied her previous season-high of 12 points in the first 4:25 of the game.
"It was important, because I think it helps me build my confidence a little bit," Hartley said. "I felt like it was down. I am one of those players who prides myself in my confidence so when it is down like that it is a little disappointing. This helped me out a little bit to lift my confidence up."
Hartley said she lost her confidence when she was off the court for a while. She is the type who constantly needs to be working on something and improving her game to feel good about herself. Being completely sidelined or even playing limited minutes she struggled.
It wasn't until the finals break that she felt like she had time to play longer and harder and take extra shots. And once she felt she was putting in the work and making progress she became more patient and her All-America talent began to re-emerge.
"I have been talking to her right when she got off her injury saying, 'Come on Bria, you have to be the old you. Where are you at? Let's go, we need you back,'" Mosqueda-Lewis said. "And a couple times in practice this week, I saw the glimpses of the old Bria, and I was like, 'Bria? Is that you? Nice to see you again.
"She just had a scorer's mentality again. She was being more aggressive. She wasn't being tentative so it was really nice to see that again."

WASHINGTON - U.S. reconstruction in Afghanistan has been so poorly managed that, in some cases, American troops may have died because of it, according to the inspector general overseeing the effort.
At $28 million dollars a day, the United States has spent more money rebuilding Afghanistan than it has revamping any other nation, John Sopko, special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, told an audience of 60 Thursday at the the Henry L. Stimson Center.
"We are at a risk now of wasting billions of dollars," he said, "if the agencies charged with implementing new programs and constructing new facilities do not first answer some basic questions."
Sopko said his comments were aimed at agencies working in the South Asian country, but not one in particular.
As of March, U.S. spending on Afghan humanitarian and reconstruction aid had accrued to nearly $90 billion dollars, according to the SIGAR's website. Sopko's office conducts audits and investigations to ensure projects are done well and that money was not misused.
Last month's audit revealed $12 million in Department of Defense equipment was sitting idly in a storage facility and that the U.S. Agency for International Development paid a contractor for work that wasn't done. Hundreds of pages of audits, dating to 2009, detail project successes and failures.
Halfway through his talk, Sopko described one of the "worst examples" of reconstruction lapses.
A multimillion-dollar program intended to protect highway pipes from being made into bombs, also known as improvised explosive devices, wasn't effective because quality control procedures were not followed.
"They failed to prevent IEDs from being put underneath the highway, and may have resulted in the death of U.S., coalition and Afghan forces," Sopko said.
His talk comes a week after the military recommended that 6,000 to 20,000 American soldiers stay in Afghanistan post-2014, the withdrawal date for remaining combat troops.
The White House is considering a "zero option," meaning all soldiers would leave, if the U.S. can't reach an agreement with the Afghanistan government.
In addition to the corruption, inadequate planning and poor security that Sopko blamed as root causes, project management is diluted as it passes through the hands of one contractor to another, Malou Innocent, Cato Institute foreign policy analyst, said.
"The costs of operating in Afghanistan are extremely high, and so they end up subcontracting to local authorities who then subcontract out to other local authorities," she said. "The mechanisms set up are almost doomed to failure, especially in the context of the country they're operating in."
With 206 recommendations for suspension and debarment of contractors or institutions since his office was created in 2008, Sopko said his team has been the most aggressive in the inspector general community.
"Unfortunately, not every agency in the U.S. government has the same fire in the belly," he said. "Many times, when we refer companies or individuals for suspension and debarment, those referrals are not acted on as expeditiously and as quickly as we want."
Until the federal government supplements auditing with a more effective approach of clamping down on corruption and disbarring ineffective or corrupt contractors, Innocent said no significant changes can occur.
"We have proposed granting SIGAR or the theater commanders independent suspension and debarment authority," Sopko said. "That could allow us to get rid of bad actors as soon as we find them."

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
New symptoms can sometimes develop during your illness, such as breathlessness or a cough. These may be caused by the growth or spread of the lung cancer to other parts of the body, but they may also have another cause.
For example, some lung cancer cells produce hormones that can upset the body's chemical balance. If you have any new symptoms, tell your doctor straight away so that you can be treated.
You may find it helpful to read our section on controlling the symptoms of cancer|.
Breathlessness can be a distressing symptom to deal with for many people with lung cancer. There are treatments and exercises that can help to relieve or manage your breathlessness, and things you can do to make living with breathlessness easier. These include different drugs, complementary therapies|, and breathing and relaxation techniques.
About 80% of patients with lung cancer (8 in 10) have a cough, and there are treatments to help ease this. These can include external beam radiotherapy|, palliative chemotherapy or pain-relief medications.
Occasionally, cancer in the lung can cause fluid to build up between the layers that cover the lung (pleural effusion|). Your doctor can usually drain the fluid by inserting a needle (cannula) into the area. The needle is attached to a tube and the fluid passes into a drainage bag or bottle. Sometimes, it's possible to seal the two layers of the pleura together again using drugs, or sometimes talc. This is known as pleurodesis.
Some people with lung cancer experience pain|. This can usually be controlled with painkillers and other methods of pain control. People may also have pain if the cancer has spread to the bones. There are different medications, such as bisphosphonates|, that might help with the pain or your doctor may recommend a short course of radiotherapy|.
In addition to the treatments already mentioned in this section, some treatments can also help to relieve symptoms.
Lung cancer sometimes causes breathlessness by blocking the windpipe (trachea), or one of the main airways that take air from the windpipe into the lungs. If the blockage is caused by a tumour within the airway, it can often be relieved by laser therapy, which burns the tumour out of the airway. Laser therapy doesn't destroy the tumour completely, but it can help to reduce or get rid of breathlessness.
Laser therapy is usually carried out under a general anaesthetic. A bronchoscopy| is done while you're asleep, and a flexible tube is passed through the bronchoscope to aim the laser beam at the tumour. The laser beam burns away as much of the tumour as possible. The bronchoscope is then removed.
There are not usually any side effects from laser therapy. If the treatment has been straightforward, you may be able to go home the same evening or the next day. If you've had an infection in your lung, you may need to stay in hospital for a few days for antibiotic treatment and physiotherapy.
If the blockage in the airway comes back, laser treatment can be used again. Sometimes radiotherapy is given as well, to try to make the relief given by the laser therapy last longer.
Sometimes an airway can become blocked by pressure put on it by the cancer, which makes it close. This can sometimes be relieved by using a small device called a stent, which is put inside the airway to hold it open.
The most commonly used stent is a small wire frame. It's inserted through a bronchoscope in a folded-up position, and as it comes out of the end of the bronchoscope, it opens up like an umbrella. This pushes the walls of the narrowed airway open.
Airway stents are usually put in under a general anaesthetic. When you wake up, you probably won't be able to feel that it's there, but you'll be able to breathe more easily. The stent can stay in your lung permanently and shouldn't cause you any problems.
Stents may also be used if a large blood vessel called the superior vena cava has become blocked by the cancer, causing a feeling of pressure in the upper body. This can usually be relieved by radiotherapy, or by putting a stent in the blood vessel to keep it open. In this case, the stent is a small tube that is inserted through a small cut in the groin, and passed up through the blood vessels to the chest using x-rays to guide it into the right position. The stent can usually be put in under local anaesthetic while you're awake.

Red quinoa is so pretty, but I've never seen it anywhere. Does it taste like regular quinoa?
Yes, it tastes just the same (well, to me anyway)! We just started carrying it in bulk at my co-op, but otherwise I've seen it in a red box called Incan Red, or something like that.
Oh brussels yum!!! And mustard greens?! And 'maters?! Delicious food all around!
I don't think it's crazy to have that for breakfast! It's still healthier than 95% of Americans' breakfasts! haha
Also, I think red quinoa is one of the prettiest things ever! Way to conquer your mustard greens fear so deliciously!
I don't think having apple crisp for brekky is a bad thing, it looks deliciously healthy!
And I don't think I've ever seen mustard greens here, will have to keep my eye out for some.
I just started eating mustard green, they are so good! I love them with lots of garlic and olive oil!
I use red quinoa too, it adds a lovely color!
Sounds like a great breakfast – kind of like granola but better. The recipe sounds delicious, too. Can't wait to try it.
i want brussels sprouts really bad now. they're totally on the menu for this weekend now!
I'm going to try this for dinner tonight!! Yum!
It is totally not crazy to have that crisp for breakfast. Food like that should be eaten all day long, if you ask me.
So jealous of that apple crisp! Yum!
All your veganmofo posts look so delicious! Your blog is always completely inspiring.
That raw apple crisp looks amazingly tasty especially topped with that vanilla cashew cream! And yay for roasted brussel sprouts!
Your apple crisp looks so pretty!
That's so cool that you grew brussels sprouts! It always surprises me when I see them on the stalk in the store, I forget that they don't grow individually.
[...] A-K, from Swell Vegan, gives us this raw apple crisp: [...]
Oh sweet! How do you make the date syrup, do tell
Looks lovely
The date syrup is just soaked dates blended with water or orange juice and some cinnamon. Simple as that!
Good job getting a raw dish on the Mofo highlights post. I have a raw blog myself, so it is nice to see the uncooked represented. I especially like how you present both the raw and cooked side-by-side on your blog. It all looks good together.

Massive fire burned 38,000 bales
By ANGIE HAFLICH
By ANGIE HAFLICH
Special to The Hays Daily News
MOSCOW -- A fire that started May 28 near Moscow and destroyed an estimated 38,000 hay bales has been out since June 5, but Abengoa Bioenergy personnel continue to spread the remaining hay out to check for hot spots.
Stevens County Emergency Services Coordinator Rodney Kelling said the Stevens County and Moscow fire departments turned the situation over to Abengoa Bioenergy, the company that owns most of the hay bales, on June 5.
Chris Standlee, Abengoa executive vice president, said Abengoa personnel have been working on the scene to ensure there are no more hot spots.
"The fire is out. There are no flames, but what we're doing is making sure we spread everything out really well and grate it out and make sure there are no hot spots or anything like that. It's just kind of a long process. It's a tough thing to do, but we're going to be done with that in the next couple of days," Standlee said.
He said when Abengoa personnel took over, there were some areas were still smoldering.
"That's why we're being real careful, to make sure that that's going to be completely (out) and cooled down and that sort of thing," Standlee said.
Kelling said the Stevens County and Moscow fire departments are continuing to monitor the situation.
Standlee confirmed the number of bales lost in the fire at approximately 38,000.
"That sounds about right," Standlee said. "We probably lost about 16 big stacks, and each stack was about 1,100 tons -- each one of those stacks is about one day's production for us, so we lost about 16 days worth of seed stock, is what it boils down to."
He said the dollar figure of the loss for Abengoa is unknown.
"We're working with our insurance company, but we don't have any final numbers at this point," he said.
Preliminary findings from the Kansas Department of Emergency Management indicated the fire was caused by lightning, but those reports have yet to be confirmed.
"The cause is still undetermined and is under investigation," Kevin Doel, public information officer for the Kansas Fire Marshal's Office, said in an email. "The total loss is over $2.5 million, which includes hay bales and hay sheds."
Most of the hay bales involved in the fire belonged to Abengoa, but Kelling said Cattle Empire lost one stack. Each stack consists of 2,500 to 3,000 bales.
Once it is confirmed that there are no more hot spots, Standlee said, clean up of the site will begin.
Officials from Cattle Empire could not be reached for comment.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Air Force One was wheels down in Chicago at 5:51 pm local.
President Obama stepped off the plane at 6:03 pm, setting foot outside the Washington, D.C. area for the first time in more than a month. It's been even longer since he last traveled home to Chicago, and the first time he's been greeted on his home turf by a Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Add to that a milestone 50th birthday tomorrow and a debt deal in the rear view, and perhaps that explains why POTUS appeared to be in a pretty good mood.
POTUS emerged smiling and waved to a small group of people - about 2 dozen - who were behind a barricade across the tarmac. Mr. Emanuel applauded as POTUS walked down the stairs. The two men shared a man-hug and chatted for a moment before walking over to greet the people behind the barricade. "How are you?" POTUS said, working his way down the ropeline with Mr. Emanuel following behind, shaking hands. POTUS at a baby who was smiling but refused to cooperate and give him a high-five, so he just shook her little fist.
POTUS and Mr. Emanuel finished shaking hands and then boarded Marine One.
Pool helo wheels up around 6:10 pm.
Mr. Obama is in town for several campaign events, including two fundraisers. All the events are for DNC and being held at the Aragon Entertainment Center.

Just now I found 3...that's right, 3! unopened jars of hoisen sauce in my pantry. Plus, there is an opened one in the fridge. I found these while looking for the oyster sauce to make beef lo mein. I don't know how this happens! I have been know to "stockpile" jars of mustard or more vinegars than I could ever use, but hoisen sauce? Do you find that you stock up on some items that you have plenty of? Please tell me that some of you do this too??? Teresa |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mustard and mayo. I discovered multiple jars of both as I was cleaning out the cupboards this winter. The dates on the jars were good so they were donated to a foodshelf. |
I just found 4 cans of Sichuan mustard greens in a cupboard, so yes I have stuff! I also found 5 or 6 kinds of dried raisins, golden raisins, currants, cranberries, dates, figs etc. I have no idea why I have all this fruit. I must have wanted to make fruit cake or something. We also have about a dozen jars of peanut butter. This was the reason for my search, I needed peanut butter for the suet cakes. I also found 5 kinds of rice noodles and wrappers , and 3 kinds of maple syrup, and various starches (potato, tapioca, waterchestnut powder, wheat starch). And a can of soda we purchased at least 3 years ago and moved from Massachusetts to New Mexico. The bigger mysteries lurk in the fridge and freezer where anything can appear without notice. DH just discovered cooked baby back ribs. I found a tiny container of oil from anchovies (this is for the cats) in the fridge. Don't we all have food hoarded everywhere? I'm prepared for a siege.

I have many such things. I call this unpremeditated stockpile my "401k". I don't have to buy Asian sauces, BBQ sauce, salt, pepper, dried beans, vinegar, hairspray, lipstick, moisturizer, q-tips, or cleaning products for the rest of my life. Or as the HG suggested, we could barter. |
My particular obsession seems to be jarred roasted peppers. Of course, I do use a lot of them, but whenever they are on sale, I feel the need to "stock up" and get them home to discover I already have 3, 4, 5 jars in the house. Oh well... like I said, I do use a lot of them. My current favorite recipe (which I use over lots of stuff) is: Roasted Red Pepper Coulis |
I think I have three or four jars of hoisen sauce, I use about 1/2 a jar for making BBQ ribs each time and 1/4 jar for roasted pork each time. dcarch |

dcarch, maybe you could offer up that BBQ rib recipe so she can use up that hoisen sauce. The older I get, the harder it is for me to remember what all I have on my basement storage shelves. There was a time when I knew every little thing and I could even go to the grocery without a list...HAHA...those days are long gone now! GAH! |
There is a certain mustard I really like ( Louensenf , medium) which is only get available in the city, so when I'm there I buy 3 or 4 jars..........problem is I'm there quite often! Alexa, what do you use the coulis with...I have tons of red roasted peppers in the freezer. |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 7, 13 at 8:47
dcarch, I would love that hoisen BBQ sauce recipe! I was thinking I would cook some chicken thighs today and could use your tried & true recipe. Teresa |
Teresa, I don't have a habit of cooking with recipes, a very bad habit I admit. And there has been complains and complains on this CF about that. I happen to be having BBQ ribs and roasted pork this afternoon, I will try to post my sloppy cooking habit later. dcarch |
I don't usually cook with recipes either . Most things I just wing but I can describe what I do and often have. Even when I use a recipe I rarely use it as written.....which makes duplicating it difficult I will admit! We love ribs and I'm always looking for ways to change them up. Even if you just describe what you do , given it's a sauce we can likely tweak to our like. |
I think many, if not most of us here do not use recipes. But, if someone asks me for a recipe, I can usually give them an idea of what I did, with approximate measurements so that they can then make it or adapted it again to suit their own taste. Ann |
I feel so much better now I think I would be called a recipe abuser I look at the pics read the ingredient and make my own. As for stocking up sage is the culprit in my home because I really don't like turkey every time I cook one I think I must be out of sage not sure why but last time I noticed I had 3 full packages plus 2 open jars. I think I should start making stuffing with fried chicken. |
Chase - this is where the original recipe came from, but I like it on baked/broiled fish or chicken. Also very tasty on other omelet type things with other fillings. Alexa Mushroom Spinach Soufflé Roll Rolled Omelet |

At one time I had three or four jars of capers because I could never remember whether I was out when I saw them. I do keep one in the cupboard and an opened one in the fridge. I do stock up on chili sauces when I find interesting ones, but I go through them rather quickly as well. I have several different types of Thai curry paste, but they have different flavors, as do the three or four bottles of soy sauce that I have. On Saturday, I found Yuzu juice at Surfas, and so now I will not have to buy Ponzu sauce and can make my own. My Yuzu tree has just started putting out blossoms, and so I'm expecting fruit by fall but will have to wait and see. The Yuzu juice was expensive, but I expect it to go pretty far. I'll probably freeze part of it. I don't expect the bottled juice to be as good as the fresh that I will get, but it should be good enough to add to soy sauce to make Ponzu. Now I have to remember not to buy Ponzu sauce, but I am out of it, and am getting low on soy sauces. Lars |
I always have multiples 'cause we maintain a one-year food storage program. But, I always know what's there by my spread sheet that we've trained ourselves to use faithfully. This summer & fall we'll be shopping like crazy people 'cause we lost so much in Sandy. BTW, freeze-dried stuff doesn't hold up very well in a flood! (grin) Lars, we really like Ponzu sauce and use it frequently. I don't know how to make it. Do you have a recipe? /tricia |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Mon, Apr 8, 13 at 13:24
Here are the ingredients I use (or will use) for Ponzu sauce: 1/2 cup soy sauce Mix ingredients together and store in a jar or bottle in the fridge. I use lime juice when I do not have lemons, and I do like to vary the citrus flavors. I use less orange juice when I have Meyer lemons. You can vary it however you like, but the Yuzu has a distinctive flavor that you cannot exactly reproduce with other citrus. I have a Yuzu/red pepper sauce that I like also, and it is made with yuzu zest and chili plus salt. It's pretty expensive also and only comes in tiny jars, and so I will make that also when I have Yuzu fruit. Lars |

What is the best length to make a hoop out of PVC? I was thinking of making it out of 6 ft length pvc for my greens in a 4 x 4 sq ft bed. That would make it 3 ft in the the center. I wanted to put a hoop on each end. Basically 4 ft apart. Would this work? Should I use scheduled 40, 600 psi PVC pipe or 200 psi pvc pipe use for lawn irrigation? It's more flexible. austin |

The 5 Worst Products In Webhosting
I was talking to a colleague yesterday, and he used the word 'bulletproof' to describe the robustness of our services. I responded with "That word doesn't mean what you think it means." It got me thinking about buzzwords we use for hosting that sound good but aren't. I've tried to crack the code on a few of those phrases below.
1) Bulletproof hosting
What the customer is meant to assume: "I don't want my sites to go down no matter what happens. So I want them to be bulletproof, right?"
Cracking the code: The host is a haven for criminals. Are you one?
Want to SPAM, distribute warez, pirate Avatar, or stream child porn on your servers? Go nuts!
You can be as illegal as you want and they won't pull the plug. They'll hide from the authorities so you don't have to!
The bottom line: A respectable business doesn't want "bulletproof" hosting. Period.
2) Unlimited hosting
What the customer is meant to assume: " I don't want limits on my hosting! Who wants limits on their hosting? Of course I want my hosting to be unlimited!!111″
Cracking the code: I've made my feelings on Unlimited Hosting well known.
In the context of these providers, "Unlimited" really means "We're not going to tell you how well your systems are going to be able to scale, so good luck growing!" These providers bet on the majority of their users simply not using that many resources to compensate for those that do. But believe me, there's a limit, a responsible provider will simply boot any abuser off their network if they start taking the term "unlimited" literally.
Contrast this with a provider like us who tells you precisely what you're getting for your hard earn money and I think you'll agree we have the better business model.
It's a lazy, lying marketing game to call a hosting product unlimited and I am still disgusted that otherwise respectable hosts use it.
The bottom line: If you want to set yourself up for surprise failure, buy into the hype – go unlimited.
3) Cheap hosting
What the customer is meant to assume: "These guys are amazing! I've never heard of them but they say they can host my whole business and give me 100% uptime and rock solid support for a few bucks a month. Of course I want to save the money and get me some cheap hosting!"
Cracking the code: If it's too good to be true, it is. We've been around for over 15 years, and we've seen more dead, failed, shuttered hosts than you can imagine.
Many of them were hot for a while before they up and died. Most lie about their infrastructure and experience to get you to pull the trigger.
Experience matters. Transparency matters too.
Learn about who you are trusting your business to, and figure out what you're giving up when hunting for a bargain.
The bottom line: Going out of business is not cheap. Stay away from cheap hosting.
4) Free hosting
What the customer is meant to assume: "I get to put up anything I want and you won't charge me anything? Where do I sign up? Of course I want free hosting!"
Cracking the code: Somebody else gets to make money off of the efforts you put in. Somebody else gets to exert control over you if they want to, whether you are doing something illegal or not. Somebody else is deciding what resources you need to grow. And they are getting a big cut of the fruits of your labor, which isn't very 'free' at the end of the day.
Whether they are selling ads based on your content, or whether they are simply taking a cut of your revenue or of the traffic that you attract, that's money you're not getting. With a provider like ServInt, you know exactly what you're getting.
The bottom line: TANSTAAFL. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Know what you're giving up to get a free resource. If you are popular in the least, I'll bet it's far more than what you could gain by taking control yourself.
5) Windows hosting
What the customer is meant to assume: "I'll get the same level of usability, security, performance, and reliability that I get on my Windows desktop! Of course I want Windows hosting!"
Cracking the code: You'll get the same level of usability, security, performance, and reliability that you get on your Windows desktop! Yikes!
The bottom line: Ok ok, that was mostly a joke. Windows hosting does indeed do some things really well.
But as a general rule, the infrastructure that supports the bulk of the Internet is Open Source and the vast majority of server related applications, and the innovation guiding them, is based on free and open software.
In general, steer clear of Windows hosting unless you absolutely need it for a specific technological reason.
Cracking the code,
Agree? Disagree? Let me know in the comments, on Twitter, or on our Facebook page!

An Unlimited Credibility Gap
Years ago, the usual stomping grounds for those of us in the hosting industry took an interesting turn as shady fly-by-night hosting providers started using the term 'unlimited' to describe their product plans.
These companies offered 'unlimited' bandwidth or 'unlimited' disk space as an enticement for customers to buy their products. There was a strong negative reaction within the hosting community and a sincere attempt among responsible hosts to make it known that 'unlimited' plans lacked credibility.
Last week it was announced that 1and1, an industry peer who I like and respect, has joined Verio, another one of the good guys, in touting 'unlimited' hosting plans.
I thought we had learned better.

OpenSsl in Qt
I am having problems getting openSsl to work properly(I think). I followed the instructions and re-compiled qt, everything went find, but when i try to connect to the server it connects, but i receive a few different errors. I am not sure it it is connecting properly or not. So i guess the first question i need to ask is if a QTcpserver, running a QTcpSocket( as nextpending connection) will accept an enrypted connection from a client side ssl socket. I assumed it would be able to because QSslSocket inherits from QTcpSocket. If that is not the case then could someone point me in the right direciton to make my server be able to accept that connection, if it is the case can someone point me to instructions on properly compiling OpenSSL-Win32 binaries to Qt.
4 replies
thank you that is what i thought was going on. Do i simply need the dll present on the system or do i need it in the qt directory. I have downloaded the binaries as i described, configured qt to look for openssl and recompiled using mingw32-make and am still getting these errors. i submitted a ticket to support but have not gotten a response yet. Do you know of any documentation that may help? or at least give a better description than what i have found using google. Thanks

"We are having a destination wedding and wanted a save the date that was simple, but sparked some excitement in our guests and this was the ONE. We have received several compliments! Wedding Paper Divas was GREAT to work with. They allowed me to change my order after placing and extremely helpful anytime I called. I received the proof and items earlier than expected. I will definitely be a return customer!"
"This save he date postcard was perfect for our destination wedding. The paper quality is excellent; which was a relief since they are not protected by an envelope. The proof was provided within 1 or 2 days and we received within 5 days of confirming the proof. There are not any other matching products, but this was not important to us."
"I worked with the design team to change these up to be Reception Invitations after a destination wedding and wow they turned out amazing! So many complements!"
"Thank you so much in having printed and provided such a beautiful "Save the Date" card. They are perfect. The quality, font, color was perfect. I will definitely be ordering my invitations with Wedding Paper Divas. Thanks again!"
"This was originally a postcard but I ordered it as a regular invittation. The card is beautiful. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I have gotten so many compliments on this card. I am very satisfied."

Ice T may have felt disrespected by his wife Coco Austin's racy pics that some other guy took on the sets of her show "Peepshow" that is happening in Vegas and the one she's appearing topless in.
He made no bones about how he felt about it and gave vent to his feelings via Twitter – "Coco's in Vegas. She has given me her explanation of the pics on the net from her first weeks out there [at Peepshow, where she's performing] with some dude. She said he knew someone in the crew from our show and would pop up where ever they would go. He also said he knew me. I don't know dude." He continued, "Regardless… They would take Posed pics every time. Most of them disrespectful and in bad taste. She's made me look… And feel like sh*t." "I say this on Twitter because there's no way to avoid the obvious misconduct of a married couple. That's it. Any more questions ask @Cocosworld," added Ice-T. He concluded, "Don't get it twisted… I'm not happy about this sh*t."
But the 54 year rapper is also clear that he is not about to allow outsiders to further mess things up and has asked haters to lay off telling them Coco brings in 100K a week, and that they should worry about their broke hos.

A Star to Steer Your Ship By
The Descent: Sea of Blood rules are now on the support page |
Descent: Journeys In The Dark | Published 03 December 2009 |
Mighty ships sail the waves among the distant isles of Torue Albes, an archipelago of secrets and treasures beyond imagination. Powerful forces have rallied to the banners of darkness, led by a malevolent overlord. Fortunately for the people of Torue Ables, a band of heroes has rediscovered a legendary ship capable of opposing the overlord's forces, provided its crew is brave enough to sail the sea of blood.
Sea of Blood, the much-anticipated campaign expansion for Descent: Journeys in the Dark, has endured a perilous journey across rough waters to arrive in the FFG warehouse. Finally, it will begin shipping to distributors this week!
But like a navigator who consults his star map before shipping off, you must chart your course before you raise your sails. To help, we've put the rules for Sea of Blood (pdf, 6.7 mb) on the Descent support page!
Descent: Journeys in the Dark is a tactical board game for 2-5 players that takes a party of adventurers deep into the dungeons of Terrinoth for adventure, treasure, and glory. But beware! The Overlord and his minions stand poised to oppose any heroes foolhardy enough to enter the dungeon.
I'm with Joram, nothing beats good old vanilla Descent!!!
This was one of the surprises I had when visiting Essen Games Fair this year. I bought a copy as soon as I saw it.
I'm now conducting two Road to Legend campaigns, but as soon as I finish with them I plan on starting a new one with Sea of Blood, which has some vey cool new mechanics.
Hmm, what can I say - I love it a new and big expansion for Descent! :) Can't wait to have it!
Reading the rules...
I'm rather burned out on Descent expansions; so much stuff that is used so little; so much clutter that is so rarely seen. I recently played a game with no expansions, and the experience was invigorating.
We'll see whether this one warrants any more attention, or whether it's better to pass up on one.
As I stated before, I am going to hold off until the reviews come in for this one. Usually anything FFG makes is a "day 1" purchase for me, but I don't want to spend all this money and find cards are the wrong size, typos galore, and errors to all the quests like I did with the quest compendium.
If it is error free then I will buy it. By error free I mean if I don't have to wait on an errata to have correctly redone maps like they had to do for the Chaos Cube quest and others. Or tell me to replace entire paragraphs with the following one. Those are a little too much for me to just ignore and still throw money FFG's way.
I made a challenge in the forum to see if they can make an error free product. I hope they can do it.
Typos are still okay....though I would prefer not to have those either.
very nice! can't wait for it to come out!

Winter Camp Diary: Day 2 — New Beginnings, Lost Lift Tickets and Tracking a Group
- Friday December 7, 2012
On the second day of our Lake Tahoe trip, we tested skis, boards, clothing, helmets — and each other's patience.
On the second day of our Lake Tahoe trip, we tested skis, boards, clothing, helmets — and each other's patience.
For the snow enthusiast, the first day of the season is more exciting than Christmas morning. And we're about to experience it. Welcome to Wired's 2012 Winter Camp test excursion.
Snow reports are a mess. What the industry — and more importantly, the community — needs to do is take a page from the surfing world. It needs a Surfline for snow reports.
Snowboarding, surfing, childbirth, zombie apocalypse, DEA raid — whatever the activity, you can be prepared to hit the road at a moment's notice if you keep a well-stocked satchel at the ready.
Buying ski boots usually involves stepping into a few boots off the rack to find the ones that don't hurt, and picking whichever boots look best with your skis. Greg Whitehouse says you've been doing it all wrong.
Knowing your limits, keeping your head and using the right gear will keep you alive when — not if — you get caught in an avalanche skiing the backcountry.
When you're bombing down a mogul run atop 10-year-old skis wearing your puffy blue bib, it's easy to dismiss the odd-looking skis and snowboards on the mountain as fad-driven detritus. In reality, there's a raft of new, innovative technology hidden within those weird-looking planks and slabs, and it's changing the sport you love for the better.
As is the case with most action sports, it took a while for the ski and snowboard industries to start cranking out women's gear at the same rate and quality as the men's stuff.

Unfortunately not. I'm completely stuck in this sense. I am more and more leaning towards having the "official" overlay on Gentoo hardware (maybe on overlays.g.o) and keeping a shadow overlay which you guys can develop on (git maybe, with subversion import?) and periodically submit "patches" which I'll be happy to include in the main tree. So, not being too much familiar with the plethora of VCSes around and their capabilities, do you have an idea of how you can easily pull the svn tree and keep your own changes in there, submitting patches every now and then to include them on the main tree?

I never had any sort of interest in cooking, until I took a six-month trip across the country in 2005-2006. Came back home after six months of Denny's and gas-station beef jerky and soggy sandwiches, and I craved real home cooking like I never had before! It was truly an instantaneous thing for me, but I never looked back - and looking up new fun recipes has become one of my favorite things to do! I'm so glad that I learned to cook!
Bacon! Almost any kind of cheese and red meat. Olives, asparagus, buffalo chicken. Definitely have a savory inclination.

The CyanogenMod team has certainly been busy this week; a few days ago we saw the first CyanogenMod 9 nightly builds appear for the AT&T Galaxy S II and HP Touchpad, and now the original Samsung Galaxy S can join in the party, too.

The CyanogenMod team has certainly been busy this week; a few days ago we saw the first CyanogenMod 9 nightly builds appear for the AT&T Galaxy S II and HP Touchpad, and now the original Samsung Galaxy S can join in the party, too.
When Dungeon Hunter 3 was originally advertised all the way back in December 2011, we were promised an Android release in "January 2012". Unfortunately, those plans didn't quite come to fruition, but fast forward a couple of months to the end of March and you can finally download the game for your Android device from the Play Store for free.
Like the iOS version, there are 16 arenas for you to fight through, and each of these can be played at 5 levels of difficulty so that you can return to them on a higher difficulty level as you get better.
The last time we saw the Philips Android Connect media player discounted, it was available for $110 from Best Buy. Today, we're going one (or five) better, as you can pick up the same media player for just $99 plus $5 shipping from Woot.com.
The Connect normally retails at $219.99, although it's available on Amazon for just over $160. That means that if you buy it from Woot.com today, you'll be saving at least $55.
Are you looking for a new way to send images to friends with a twist? Or maybe you've just been reading a few too many John le Carré novels lately? Either way, you may be interested in this neat little application that's available in both paid and free versions for Android called Camopic.
Camopic, like many apps that are available for Android, allows you to share images with your friends, but when both parties are using Camopic on their phones, the true image that is being sent can be hidden behind another one.
People living in the US, UK, Canada, and Japan have been able to enjoy renting and purchasing movies from the Google Play library for some time now, and today, anyone living in France can use the service to get their movie fix as well.
If you have a French Google Play account, you will now have a link to purchase movies both online at play.google.com and through your Android phone. To celebrate the French launch, French classics such as 'La Grotte Des Rêves Perdu' and 'Le Bal Des Actrices' have been added to the store for everyone to enjoy.
After countless bad copies, the official Temple Run game has finally hit the Google Play store! Like the iOS version, it's available for free and contains no adverts anywhere in the game. You can, however, make in-app purchases of coins to help you buy various items from the store as you progress. We'll cover that in a bit more detail later on, but for now, let's jump right in to the review!
Some owners of the original AT&T Galaxy S II may have been left feeling unwanted when Ice Cream Sandwich leaked for the GSII Skyrocket a couple of days ago, but now they have their very own version to download and play around with.
This morning, RootzWiki posted a leaked built of Ice Cream Sandwich for the original Galaxy S II, and looking at the build.prop file alongside the screenshots of the build, it seems to be the real deal from Samsung, just like the leak for the Skyrocket.
Panasonic is set to enter the high-end smartphone market in Europe and Japan in the coming weeks with the waterproof and dustproof Eluga.
We first saw the Eluga at Mobile World Congress last month, and although it looks like a great phone on paper, with a dual-core CPU and qHD display, it disappointed us when we went hands-on. Nevertheless, this is still big news for the European market, where Panasonic isn't known as a smartphone brand at all.
If you're in the market for an Android speaker dock for your phone, then you'll want to pay attention right about now. The Philips AS351, the little brother of the AS851 that we reviewed and loved a few months ago, is currently available for $95 on Amazon with a $20 coupon that takes the price down to just $75. That's over 40% off the list price of $129.99.
Like its more expensive counterpart, the AS351 comes with Bluetooth functionality built-in which allows you to listen to your music without having to physically dock your phone, although there's no remote control with this model so you'll have to change any volume settings on the unit itself.
LogMeIn has announced a partnership with HTC that will see its Rescue software pre-installed on all future Android smartphones and tablets. Using a combination of an applet on HTC devices and support software across the company's worldwide call centers, customers will be provided with remote support that allows the person on the other end of the phone to take control of your device and run various tests.
To protect customers from inadvertently handing their phone over to a stranger, the applet will only "securely connect their devices to HTC customer care representatives during active support calls."
Once a technician is connected to a device they will be able to run remote diagnostics, push common device and network configuration settings, and remotely control the customer's device to resolve issues.

Last year, for my first Valentine's Day with a new boyfriend, I gave him a carefully prepared box with five smaller wrapped presents inside, each labeled with one of the five senses.
For sight, a DVD of a movie we'd spoken about wanting to watch together. For hearing, a mix CD of songs I loved and wanted him to know. For smell, a bottle of the cologne he liked, and on which he was running low. For taste and touch, a jar of chocolate sauce and a paintbrush to apply it. Our relationship was new and exciting, and the presents ranged from the almost thoughtless to plans for naughty fun together. Keep reading »

Study using Novel Biomarker Technology Indicates Potential Medical Utility in Discriminating Clinical Outcomes
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Eutropics Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced today that Eutropics and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will present results from a clinical study employing Eutropics' proprietary PraediCare Dx (BH3 profiling) assay to discriminate therapeutic response in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients to standard-of-care-based chemotherapy. The presentation entitled "BH3 Profiling is a Predictive Biomarker for Response to Cytarabine-based Treatment of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia" will be delivered in a poster-discussion session during the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) being held May 31-June 4, 2013 in Chicago. The poster-discussion session is on Saturday, June 1 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. CDT in room S406.
In the study, investigators from Eutropics and The MD Anderson Cancer Center collaboratively examined specimens derived from a cohort of 62 AML patients prior to treatment with cytarabine-based treatment regimens using PraediCare Dx. This BH3 profiling technology, exclusively licensed to Eutropics from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, assesses pro-apoptotic signaling of BCL-2 family proteins and thus a cell's propensity to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) to model therapeutic response. In the study, a correlation between PraediCare Dx biomarker metrics and clinical response achieved pronounced statistical significance (p = 1.8x10-6). When combined with age and other clinical variables, the test was able to discriminate responders from non-responders with 90% accuracy.
Michael Andreeff, M.D., Ph.D., the Paul and Mary Haas Chair in Genetics, Professor of Medicine and Chief, Section of Molecular Hematology and Therapy, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and principal investigator on the study said, "These preliminary results are especially exciting and portend application of personalized diagnostics approaches, including PraediCare Dx, to AML patient management with the goal of achieving improved outcomes."
"We are building a strong record of publications and clinical studies to support PraediCare Dx, which by stratifying patients based on their predicted response to standard-of-care could improve outcomes and reduce healthcare costs," added Michael Cardone, Ph.D., President and CEO of Eutropics. "We are pleased to move towards clinical utility of the PraediCare Dx assay, as we conduct additional studies with our colleagues at The MD Anderson Cancer Center."
About PraediCare Dx
Eutropics' PraediCare Dx platform technology delivers medically useful in vitro diagnostic assays. The tests may improve patient outcome by directing the best treatment options and also may provide a biomarker for guided cancer drug development. Based on clinical evidence, the PraediCare Dx technology platform delivers unique understanding into a cancer cell's ability to respond to chemotherapies that induce programmed cell death (apoptosis), enabling the physician to choose the treatment option most likely to benefit the individual patient.
Tests based on the PraediCare Dx technology are being investigated for use in treating acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM). A recently completed validation study in uniformly treated AML patients indicate that the test provides actionable data to physicians. PraediCare Dx is currently being verified in repeat studies with academic and pharmaceutical partners. These validation studies for predicting response to standard-of-care are anticipated to be completed in fourth quarter of 2013. Tests for CLL, ALL and DLBCL have been developed for future clinical studies.
About Eutropics Pharmaceuticals
Eutropics is addressing the need for improving the treatment of aggressive forms of leukemia, myeloma, lymphoma, and other cancers. The company is developing a novel diagnostic technology that will guide the use of established and experimental therapeutics, enabling the delivery of personalized medicines to patients suffering from cancer. www.eutropics.com

¡EWU Goes to Cuba!

¡EWU Goes to Cuba!
¡EWU Goes to Cuba! is an exciting opportunity for EWU students to not only learn the history of Cuba, but to actually travel there and experience it themselves. Beginning in Summer 2014 ¡EWU Goes to Cuba! will be an eight-week course where students spend the initial four weeks studying on campus in Cheney, the next two in Cuba, and then the final two weeks back in class summarizing their findings and reporting them in a research paper and presentation.
The group in the famous Plaza de la Revolución (Plaza of the Revolution,) Havana
A message from Professor Lenti email@example.com
Dear prospective cubanistas (that is, students of Cuba):
Few things are as misunderstood by contemporary Americans as is Cuba. Today's Cuba befuddles us as it rests close to our shores yet outside of our daily consciousness. The political roots of its alientation are well known, but beyond politics, Cuba is a vastly different nation that the U.S., certainly, and is even an outlier among its Caribbean and Latin American neighbors. What makes Cuba so historically and culturally different? Why are its social, religious, musical, sporting, culinary, and environmental traditions so unique? ¡EWU Goes to Cuba! is an innovative and multi-disciplinary program that attempts to answer these and other questions via reading, discussion, research, travel, fieldwork, participant observation, and analysis.
The first component of your participation in ¡EWU Goes to Cuba! is enrollment in HIST359, a five-credit course called History of Cuba. HIST359 - History of Cuba - will be offered in summer quarter 2014 and will last eight weeks (June24 - August 16.) You must enroll in this course in order to travel to Cuba! You will read extensively and devise a research project on a topic of your choosing during the first half of the course, then put your knowledge to use in Cuba researching aspects of Cuban history that could include environmental adaptation, tourism, food, sport, women's rights, education and health care, visual communication, Santería, and the Cuban Revolution, among other possibilities. You will complete the program by writing a research essay and presenting your findings at a public forum, or alternatively, at the EWU Graduate and Undergraduate Research and Creative Works Symposium, scheduled for Spring 2015.
Here are some important things to know when considering this program:
- Travel to Cuba requires one to possess a U.S. Passport or other valid migration document (green card, etc.) This document must be in the traveler's possession by March 1, 2014, the deadline for applying for a student visa from the U.S. and Cuban governments.
- ¡EWU Goes to Cuba! is a competitive program that chooses its participants using an application process. Note: this program is not limited to history majors nor must a student speak Spanish to participate. Interested students from any major should contact Professor Lenti no later than march 1, 2014 to request the application. (email@example.com)
- The price of ¡EWU Goes to Cuba! is the total of five-credits of summer tuition plus a course fee of roughly $3000 to cover airfare from Spokane to Cuba, lodging, food, and other travel and research expenses incurred while abroad. Students will pay the program's entire cost with the payment of their summer tuition. Financial aid can be requested to cover this educational expense and students may opt to work with faculty to seek scholarships and hold a fundraiser. The program's final cost will be announced in early 2014.
- See the ¡EWU Goes to Cuba! blog for more details.
We sincerely hope that you consider embarking upon this eye-opening and (perhaps) life-changing experience with us next summer.
Saludos cordiales,
EWU History Department

Moment of Inertia and Rotations
Name: Tracy M. Status: educator Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 3/24/2004
My son built a K'Nex ball factory. He did an experiment by filling one ball with sand, the other being empty. He put the balls down three different paths, each time the ball with sand reaching the bottom at a faster time. What Mom here remembers from physics is that objects dropped will fall at the same rate if there is no wind, etc. I cannot explain simply and correctly why the heavier object goes faster through the paths though I understand the gist of it. Could you please help? Thank you.
If you just drop the balls, you have essentially the same physics, and it is a little less complicated to explain. The total force on the heavy ball is
Mg - D
where M is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and D is the drag force (i.e., air resistance). Similarly, the force on the light ball is
mg - D
where m is its mass, and for the moment we will not get caught up in the detailed behavior of the drag force, D. We know it will depend on the size of the balls, and vary with their speeds, but let us just go with "D" for now.
The important thing to look at is the net acceleration. For the heavy ball, it is
A = (Mg - D) / M = g - D/M
For the light ball, it is
a = (mg - D) / m = g - D/m
So, the difference between the two balls is that, for any drag force D, the heavy ball is affected less -- D/M is less than D/m, because M is greater than m. As M gets very large, D/M starts to look like zero, and the ball is essentially unaffected by drag.
As m gets very small, our equation looks like it might be trying to say something stupid, like D/m might get greater than g, and the ball will be accelerated upward. But D depends on speed, and in fact goes to zero as speed goes to zero, so we do not actually have a problem.
Tim Mooney
The sand ball is not going faster because of its weight. Both balls have to move just as much, and gravity does this the same for both. Both balls also have to spin. This is the problem. All of the empty ball's material is at the outside surface. The whole ball has to spin a lot. The sand ball has a great deal of its material toward the center. The sand near the center does not have to spin very much. Try making a long rod spin around its center (that the ends of the rod both moving fast) and then around the axis (the ends of the rod not moving at all). The weight of the ball can make the sand spin quickly because not all the sand has to move much during the spin. The weight of the empty ball has to make much more of the empty ball move fast during the spin.

Rich Flavor
I use this in my bleu cheese dressing, scones, muffins, etc..
It's delicious!

This is the only buttermilk product on the market that I have found good for drinking . It is on a par with the Provident Pantry Milk for taste, but is richer and creamier. It is also great in waffles and cream soups.

Great stuff
We use this for baking mostly and it mixes easily with water, eggs or other ingredients. Will buy this a lot!

Buttermilk Powder
I have used the Provident Pantry Buttermilk Powder for years. I don't drink buttermilk, but I use a lot of this powder in my receipes and it works just like the real thing. My pantry always has a couple of cans in it - everyday use or emergency use - it doesn't matter. :)

Good buttermilk substitute
This works very well as a buttermilk substitute. The taste is good. It doesn't have the leavening properties of fresh buttermilk, but a little bit of vinegar added to the buttermilk helps with that. I use it is homemade bread and scones, and they turn out great. It's also the best price I've been able to find.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The California Supreme Court upheld the death penalty of a man forced to wear a stun belt during trial.
The court Monday rejected the defendant's argument that his fear of being shocked deprived him of a fair trial.
The state high court in its 6-1 ruling concluded that even if forcing Jonathan Keith Jackson to wear the belt, it was a harmless error that didn't affect the jury's decision.
Jackson was convicted of killing Monique Cleveland during a 1996 drug robbery in Riverside County.
Unruly defendants are sometimes forced to wear the belts during trial, which can deliver a shock strong enough to knock a man to the ground. The court said Jackson was not shocked during trial and there is no evidence jurors knew he was wearing the belt.
