I am attempting to set up a web server for hobby/personal use. I have Comcast/Xfinity internet connection with an Arris TG862G combo modem/router that Comcast gave me.
My web server is configured with a static local IP and I have enabled port forwarding to the server on port 80.
I've confirmed that the web server works when using the local IP, but it doesn't work when I try to access the server using the public IP.
I can ping the public IP successfully. But nmap shows that port 80 is "filtered".
What can I do to allow incoming connections on port 80 to my web server behind the router? Any ideas what I should try next?
It seems that either the gateway is failing to handle these requests correctly, or that this traffic is being filtered upstream from me?
Although running a public web server isn't allowed by the TOS, Comcast doesn't generally block port 80 -- they're tolerant of hobby/personal servers.
When you were doing your testing, did you do it from outside your home network? Most routers don't do port-forwarding when the connection comes from the LAN.
Since it's just for personal use, maybe you could run it on a different port. To access it, put the port number in the URL, e.g. 220.127.116.11:8080 to connect to a server on port 8080.
It's known that the Comcast-specific firmware in their gateway devices has some limitations, maybe port 80 forwarding is one of them. We often suggest getting your own router, and having Comcast put the gateway in bridge mode.
The port 8080 for the TG862g is being used by the router the only way you get get it to work is my changing the port like 8000 hope this helps
Thanks Barmar, your suggestions were very helpful.
Part of the problem was, as you said, I was trying to access my server from within the home network. I didn't realize that the router would fail to port forward in that case, but in retrospect it makes sense.
I had also tested this from outside my home network, and it was failing apparently because my server is temporarily on wifi only (like I said, it's just for some minor hobby stuff, so wifi is good enough). The problem was that the wifi connection would terminate when the server went to sleep...I feel silly. As long as the server is awake it works
So for the record, this router does seem to successfully port-forward, at least on 22 and 80.
Thanks for your assistance.
Thanks, yes I noticed that 8080 never appeared open from the outside, this probably explains it. Luckily good ol' 80 is working now.

Raising a Child Who Respects Difference
Buff Strickland
I'm playing The Game of Life with two wriggly 6-year-olds, my daughter, Tess, and her buddy Matthew. We're motoring along the board in our little plastic roadsters, and Tess arrives at the space that says "Get Married!" This is where you're supposed to add a spouse to the passenger seat. A blue peg stands for a husband, pink means a wife. Tess considers for a moment -- and chooses pink.
We live in Massachusetts, I should explain, where gay marriage is legal, a number of our kids' friends have two moms, and our grade schools sponsor rainbow-y floats for the local Pride Parade. Around here, most kids don't question the fact that you can marry a girl or a boy. The values my husband and I teach, the friends we have, the fact that we attended the joyful weddings of Barbara and Kristen, Annie and Mary -- all of it has created a child in whom tolerance shines like the sun in July.
Pop! That's the sound of my politically correct balloon bursting. A mere five days later, my 9-year-old, Will, storms home upset because a kid in class has been teasing him like crazy. My husband and I have been trying to manage this, but now the boys are at a tipping point. The kid called Will some choice swear words. "I wanted to say the F-word right back to him!" Will yells, tears now streaming. "And I know it's not right, but I really wanted to say the N-word too!"
The N-word. The sick ugliness of it. I had no idea he knew the word. Dear God, where did this come from? I take a deep breath and then start the damage control. But I'm dying inside.
So there you go, two stories from one American family. Maybe they mirror yours in ways that make you nod or wince or both? I don't care if you're a white mom from Richmond, Virginia, explaining to your son why a Confederate flag won't fly on your lawn even though his uncle flies one, or a Puerto Rican abuela in the Bronx showing her grandson how to be more accepting of new Dominican immigrants -- we all have something to learn about teaching kids to respect people of different races, cultures, and lifestyles.
Use my family as an example. What did we do wrong? What did we do right? And how, day in and day out, should we teach our children tolerance, especially in the Age of Obama?

Since the early 1970's, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has maintained a low-level decay, multi-channel counting facility for measuring environmental samples and for pulse distribution studies tied to the behavior of proportional and Geiger-Müller detectors. Pulses have been time stamped and sorted using a hard-wired digital logic interface to discriminate coincidence, anticoincidence, guard and test pulse events; to digitize the pulse-height and rise-time; to monitor specific characteristics of intra-channel and inter-channel events; and to measure microsecond timing between any two events. To enhance event characterization, a computer-based waveform analyzer was added in 1985 to digitize individual pulses. In 2002, a next-generation low-level counting (NG-LLC) system was developed using commercial off-the-shelf electronics. The objective of this paper is to describe the key components of the NG-LLC system. Many of the event parameters previously determined by inflexible digital logic are now calculated in software.

Free Registry First Aid 7 Platinum!
Posted By Ashraf On December 1, 2010 @ 12:42 AM In Freebies | 16 Comments
[1]Before I say anything else, let me state one thing. RoseCitySoftware, the developer of Registry First Aid, has a very bad reputation [2] on WOT. Typically I would never post about freebies from developers that have such feedback about them. However, this particular freebie is through Avanquest, a trusted source of software. I am only posting about this freebie because I trust that Avanquest has made sure the program it not malicious.
That said, like the name implies, Registry First Aid is a registry cleaning program. Here is a description of Registry First Aid, list of benefits, and list of features as per Avanquest:

Note: Unless specifically stated otherwise in this articlee, Registry First Aid 7 Platinum has not been tested or reviewed by dotTech (aside from checking to make sure this promotion is valid).

This article is simply to inform about the availability of this program as a freebie. dotTech cannot vouch for the quality (or lack thereof) of Registry First Aid 7 Platinum.

A Worldwide Fitness Phenomenon!
Please Watch This 1.5 Minute Video First
Dear Reader,
There's a quiet revolution happening in the fitness world that you're about to discover ...
DID YOU KNOW? Europeans have been pole walking (ski or Nordic walking) since the 1930's, when it became the perfect off-season training solution for skiers in Finland. It has since become a national sport, and is a must-have for hikers and mountain trekkers for added support and endurance!
"Across the pond, the number of Nordic walkers is now reported to eclipse the number of runners."
Dr. Tim Rindlisbacher, -- National Post 2008, canada.com
Over 6 Million Europeans Can't Be Wrong!
Thousands of people across North America are loving the KEENFIT POLE WALKING SYSTEM -- a PORTABLE, VERSATILE walking tool and that you can take with you anywhere!
According to in a recent Strength and Conditioning study published on PubMed: "The data suggests that trekking poles may be a beneficial tool for increasing caloric expenditure, as energy production is increased during exercise without increased perceptions of effort."
Supercharge Your Walk! Now YOU Can Learn How to Stride Your Way to Peak Fitness in Less Time it Takes to Drive to the Gym!
Another Keenfit Living Proof Story:
I personally will not walk unless I have the walking poles. Walking with the poles helps build my biceps and shoulder area muscles and expands my chest breathing capacity. The benefits are wonderful!" Larry, DDS, MPH - Director, Kelowna Coronary Health Improvement Project Director
After extensive researching of different kinds of walking poles, Keenfit took the best design features and put them all into ONE! Included are Road Feet, Trail Feet, Beach Basket Feet, and Carbide Steel Tips -- Adjustable for urban city walking, mountain hiking, or traveling!
Numerous scientific studies PROVE the increased effectiveness of POLE WALKING. This versatile and easy walking aid is an enormously popular European fitness trend that is striding across North America! With the Keenfit POLE WALKING SYSTEM, here's how you can easily get fit anywhere:
Supercharged Fitness -- POLE WALKING is a low impact, yet higher intensity workout. 30 minutes of Pole Walking = 50 minutes of regular walking! This energizing form of walking with poles increases your cardio by 20%, burns 48% more calories than normal walking, and involves 90% of all the muscles of your body, upper and lower. You'll feel the increased stamina you build from pole walking with little increase in perceivable effort.
Less Impact -- Easy on your joints! The use of poles decreases the impact of weight-bearing stress on your hips, knees and ankles by 26%. The pole straps and upper body absorb much of the impact and offer better support. Walking poles can lighten your load and improve balance, with supportive assistance to lower the impact on your spine, hips and legs.
Allows EASY storage and transportation -- The Keenfit Telescoping Adjustable walking poles are easy to adjust to any height, and any terrain. Perfect for traveling!
Excellent Support for Hiking -- Mountain hiking is very popular in European countries, and increasingly so in North America. Keenfit Walking Poles provide excellent stability on steep, slippery trails, and support for your knees and hips. Enjoy longer, more challenging hikes with less worry about the terrain and tiring quickly.
Ultimate Cross Training -- Great for skiing or marathons! Enhance your training program, or supplement jogging as a high octane cardio workout with less stress on the joints. As the Europeans have been doing for decades, you can benefit all year in every season with the strengthening action of "ski walking". No snow? No problem! Stay fit for the next ski season
Increased Balance, Straighter Posture -- Because "four legs" are better than two. Walking poles offer bilateral stability, and radically improve balance. Better posture naturally results, as poles help you walk with a straighter back -- better walking posture is easier on your whole body!
Another Keenfit Living Proof Story: My arms look like I am lifting weights, nice toned muscles, even though I'm not. It's all from using the poles correctly. With the walking poles I now get a perfect workout without going to the gym. It's cheap, outdoors and I can fit it into my schedule!"
Pernie -- Age 40, Kelowna BC - Looks like she's been lifting weights
Feel Immediate Results!
Keenfit offers all the TRAINING and SUPPORT you need to get you on your way today!
Arthritis? Joint Pain? Bad Problems?
You don't have to give up walking and fat burning exercise anymore. The Keenfit POLE WALKING SYSTEM takes the pressure off your joints, provides better posture and balanced weight distribution while striding.
The low-impact effectiveness of Walking with Poles helps to get you walking again, whether you are a casual walker or an advanced fitness enthusiast.
Still not sure if Pole Walking can help you to reclaim your health and vitality?
Let's shift gears for a moment, and look at a story of true transformation from our founder and world renowned authority on Pole Walking, Sheri Simson ... (AKA "The Pole Lady")
This video discusses how a mother of three reclaim her youthful vitality, lost 30lbs and takes her new found knowledge to spearhead a fitness revolution in North America.
Click on Sheri's image above to watch this fascinating 2.5-minute video to see living proof of her personal transformation!
And Invitation from "The Pole Lady"
Dear Friend,
I'd imagine that right now you are pretty excited about the possibility of truly taking a hold of your life and bringing yourself back to your highest potential as a human being.
I remember a time when it was not so easy, and if someone would have told me that I could have changed my life as much as I have I wouldn't have believed it.
As the owner of a successful construction company, a wife and a mother of three young boys -- finding time to exercise, eat healthy, and relax seemed impossible let alone exhausting! Carrying three baby's full term had done a number on my body and my back, not to mention I had held onto a few extra pounds with each pregnancy. I not only felt unattractive but I was tired all the time.
Before and After
I was 41, 30 lbs over weight and terribly out of shape. My once-fit and strong body now had loose/extra skin & fat, weak / limp muscles, and cellulite (in places I never knew you could get cellulite). Not to mention I had aches & pains all over.
Never would I dare be seen in anything sleeveless and I went years where I felt embarrassed if anyone but my family saw me in a bathing suit. I blamed a lot of it on the fact that I was over 40. Come on -- who doesn't gain weight as they get older, and isn't it a fact that loosing weight, let alone being fit is a lot harder as you age!
Pole Walking Transformed My Life!
As hard as I may, I tried to exercise whenever I could, and I watched what I ate, but to no avail I seemed destined be over weight and out of shape. Desperate, I signed up for 'Weight Watchers' and realized that, though I thought I was eating well - I was - but just a little too well! I can't say enough about this program it really helped me change the way I looked at food and how I approached eating. I didn't and I still don't diet - I just watch what I eat! (I tell you this because; as I developed the "Keenfit Walking System" how you feed your body is very much a part of its success.)
I finally started going in the right direction. I was watching what I was eating and I was starting to lose weight, but I still felt sluggish, tired & out of shape. With juggling my full time business & busy family I had little time, energy & extra money to get into shape. Walking was all I had the time or money for - but just walking seemed to have little effect on how I looked and felt.
It was on a trip to my husband's home of Denmark where I was first introduced to 'Fitness/Nordic Walking Poles'. My mother-in-law gave me a pair and I was excited to put them to work. I was blown away by the results they produced! Not only was it easy (at first I thought it was maybe too easy, you know - "no pain/no gain!") but once I got a rhythm going, my whole body felt energized, as the poles seemed to propel me forward.
My Fat Was Falling Off!
It didn't take long for me to notice that walking with poles made a difference - my fat just seemed to fall off! It was amazing, within weeks I felt stronger and definitely tighter! The funny thing was I wasn't walking any further or any faster but yet -- WOW! -- I couldn't get over what was happening to my entire body! I had so much more energy, not to mention I enjoyed watching my body take on its new shape. The whole experience empowered me - for the first time in a long time I actually felt sexy. (I had arms like Madonna and I wasn't even lifting weights!)
Fascinated by what had happened to me and excited by what this European Secret could do for others -- I decided that with North America's crazy lifestyle and imminent poor health, it was my duty (and now my company's mission) to inform, inspire, empower and support people to become accountable for themselves so they can find balance, live in peace and walk as their true self.
I would truly like to raise the fitness level of North America and create a walking revolution by letting everyone know that it can be as easy as turning a simple walk around the block into efficient, effective, aerobic total body work-out -- by just adding poles!
After transforming her life with the Keenfit Pole Walking System, Sheri Simson has now dedicated her life to raising the fitness level of North America with this unique and life changing system.
Her results and the results of thousands of people that she has already helped has inspired her DEDICATION to doing the same for Pole Walkers of all backgrounds and stages of life. And that means YOU.
Your decision creates a turning point in your life. How do we know? Because you have read this far, something in you must be ready to try the Keenfit Pole Walking System.
If you are like many people who are concerned about their health, you'll probably agree that you don't mind getting a bit of exercise because it's actually kind of fun. But you probably DON'T LIKE long repetitive workouts for 1-2 hours, in a gym surrounded by people grunting and pushing for any results from their exercises.
If this is YOU, you'll really LOVE these "Anytime, Anywhere Workouts". And with only 30 minutes required to get good results, you are REALLY REALLY going to LOVE getting it all done in the SAME AMOUNT OF TIME it would have taken to drive to the gym!
The Keenfit Walking System WILL Turn Your Body into a CALORIE BURNING INCINERATOR!
Fitness Walking with 'The Keenfit Pole Walking System' will turn your body into an incredibly effective calorie burning incinerator, helping you lose & maintain weight -- have you looking & feeling terrific -- adding years to your life!
Pole Walking with the Keenfit Pole Walking System is specifically designed to:
Pump up your cardio by increasing oxygen consumption, up to 25%
Reduce impact on lower joint by 26%
Reduce stress on your knees and lower joints
Strengthen your upper body and create resistance that builds better bone density
Ski Walking provides ALL the low-impact benefits of walking and is a more effective aerobic workout
Ski Walking / Nordic Walking naturally relaxes & strengthens the arms, neck, back and shoulders
Unlike walking, running & biking -- Ski Walking / Fitness / Nordic Walking works the arms, shoulders, and abs (the total-body) -- while reducing knee, hip, back & hip strain
If you are like the 10's of thousands of people that we have already helped to truly transform their lives, then you are probably pretty excited about what you've seen and read so far
Sheri Simson, AKA "The Pole Lady" is an invited speaker to many events across North America as a fitness guru and a leading expert on the benefits of Pole Walking. She is often quoted in magazines, newspapers and on websites about the life changing effects of Pole Walking:

Intense media spotlight on Hernandez
June, 20, 2013
By ESPNBoston.com
[+] Enlarge
Mike Rodak, ESPNBoston.com Aaron Hernandez was approached by reporters Thursday as he pumped gas in his SUV. Hernandez, wearing a Muscle Milk winter wool hat, had his endorsement deal with that company terminated Friday.
Local channels in Boston broke away from their programming to broadcast images of Hernandez getting into his car and driving to Gillette Stadium. Upon leaving the stadium shortly thereafter, Hernandez stopped at a gas station, where he was mobbed by reporters attempting to get a comment from as he pumped gas into his car.
Hernandez then drove onto Interstate 95 followed by Route 1.
Hernandez is embroiled in the investigation of the execution-style murder of a semi-pro football player, sources told ABC news. He has not yet been ruled out as a suspect.

Post-game breakdown: SMU
The Huskies secured a signature victory that they so desperately needed.
UConn coach Kevin Ollie and his Huskies met with the media after practice Wednesday at Gampel Pavilion.
Cincinnati visits the XL Center Thursday night. It will be UConn's final game in Hartford this season.
Check out the attached video for Ollie's remarks.
Some news, notes and quotes from practice:
-- The post-practice talk dealt with several topics, including bouncing back from a disappointing performance on Saturday.
"It was disappointing because we dropped the ball," sophomore Ryan Boatright said. "We had played so well against Syracuse and we played so bad (versus Villanova). I feel like we owe ourselves and the fans a better performance."
-- UConn faces another Big East team with a talented backcourt. Sean Kilpatrick (18.0), Cashmere Wright (13.3) and JaQuon Parker (10.9) lead the Bearcats in scoring.
"Every (Big East) team has got great guards…," Ollie said. "You can go right down the list. We're going to have to come in and make sure we contain the dribble and play hard and play with effort and play with the attitude that will allow us to come out on top."
-- The backcourt of Boatright and Shabazz Napier will have to play better for the Huskies than they did in Saturday's loss. They combined for six points and 10 turnovers.
Boatright spent Tuesday watching game film.
"I felt so bad about it I went in there and really, really studied and watched every single play over and over again," Boatright said.
For more about Boatright's film session check out my story in Thursday's paper and on the website.
-- Napier had an interesting theory about UConn's rebounding woes against Villanova, which owned a 41-25 edge.
"Last game there was too much pressure to get rebounds," Napier said. "The whole week was just stressing about rebounds. I felt like there was too much pressure put on all the big guys just to rebound. Too much (pressure) on certain people, it weighs them down and they're not capable of playing the way they can play because they're so worried about rebounding.
"We want Tyler (Olander) to score and play good defense but we want him to rebound. But we stressed it too much and it weighed him down a little bit. It weighed DeAndre down a little bit."
If Napier and Boatright produced offensively, rebounding and turnovers would have never been an issue, according to Napier.
"I just think because me and Boat didn't play so well offensively, rebounding and turnovers became a big deal."
-- UConn has been a terrific free throw shooting team this season. In Big East action, the Huskies are tied for first with Syracuse at 75.3 percent.
"They're doing a great job concentrating, getting there, and knocking it down, "Ollie said. "That's how we've been overcoming our rebounding issues, knocking down free throws, shooting a good percentage and a low turnover rate."
Niels Giffey (88 percent), Omar Calhoun (80.0), Napier (78.2) and DeAndre Daniels (75) are the team's top free throw shooters overall.
-- Reserve Leon Tolksdorf made an unexpected splash by sinking two 3-pointers versus Villanova. Could that lead to more minutes for him on Thursday?
Probably not.
"I don't go in and say Leon is going to play a set amount of minutes," Ollie said. "It's a feel thing. I thought we needed a spark. I brought Leon in and I wanted some effort and he contributed.
"He's making my drive back (home) to Glastonbury a little more interesting."
-- Former Husky Donny Marshall practiced with the team on Wednesday. He wore No. 23, playing the scout team role of Kilpatrick.
-- For regular updates, follow me on Twitter @GavinKeefe
Former UConn great Richard "Rip" Hamilton announced his retirement today.
UConn took a difficult route to victory on Sunday. So it was a typical win for the Huskies, who held off Tulane, 67-60, at Gampel Pavilion.
UConn senior Ryan Boatright and Providence sophomore Kris Dunn are two of 17 finalists for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award in college basketball.
Freshman Daniel Hamilton is a rising star. The latest evidence came in UConn's 75-72 loss at Memphis on Thursday night.
UConn and Memphis meet twice over the final few weeks of the regular season.
UConn played its most complete game this season on Thursday night. Its near perfect performance couldn't have come at a better time.
UConn begins a make-or-break stretch tonight.The Huskies host Tulsa, the American Athletic Conference leader, at the XL Center.
UConn released a statement late Sunday from Jim Calhoun on the passing of fellow Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith, the North Carolina legend.
Here's a revealing statistic: UConn is 7-1 when Rodney Purvis scores in double figures.
UConn played about 13 minutes of nearly perfect basketball on Wednesday night.
UConn has never lost more than two games in a season at Gampel Pavilion since the building opened in 1989. That streak is in jeopardy.

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. -- The Fort Hays State University women's soccer team knocked off the third-best team in the conference, Truman State University, 2-1 on Friday.
The Tigers (9-5-1, 5-4-1 MIAA) scored the go-ahead goal just 19 seconds into the second half and then held off a Truman rally to win it. Truman dropped to 11-3-1 and 7-2 in league play.
FHSU freshman midfielder Alexis Aiman scored the opening goal in the 16th minute on an assist from senior midfielder Cindy Benitez. Truman responded just a minute later with a goal from Emily McMeekin on an assist from Melanie Hunt.
Freshman forward Jordan Hester provided the final score of the match early in the second half, putting it in off a rebound. Benitez was awarded the assist on the match-winning goal.
FHSU freshman goalkeeper Rachael Schaad tallied three saves.
FHSU will play at noon today against Lindenwood University (4-8-1, 0-8 MIAA) in St. Charles, Mo.

Salisbury University1101 Camden Ave.Fulton Hall (FH) 200 Salisbury, MD 21801 410-543-6270 firstname.lastname@example.com
As a full-service University, SU offers both a traditional Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), which includes a year of foreign language study, as a well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in any of eight different areas of emphasis: Ceramics, Drawing, Glass, Graphic Design, New Media, Photography, Painting and Sculpture. Most of our students are B.F.A. majors, giving them the greatest opportunity to develop strong portfolios before heading off to their next challenge after graduation. The B.F.A. program is specifically designed to ensure a balance of studio experiences across a range of areas, even in the junior and senior years. Unlike some programs where students can become isolated in their area of emphasis, our curriculum requires continued exploration of alternative approaches throughout all four years.
In order to enter the B.F.A. program the student must submit a portfolio of 10 examples of their artwork. Currently, we use the portfolio review as a way of assessing student capabilities as they enter the program. This helps faculty identify strengths and weaknesses of incoming students. While it is necessary to submit a portfolio to declare or switch to the B.F.A. major, portfolio submission status will not keep students from enrolling in individual courses. However, submitting the portfolio as early as possible is the best way to ensure good, accurate academic advising.

I'm curious what you think about all the recent talk of the federal government expanding its quarantine powers in the event of a possible flu pandemic. Is using the U.S. military appropriate in such a scenerio?

Anyone on here had any luck with curing high blood pressure? I am not being lazy here as I have researched and tried many many things now and so far none of them have been satisfactory. I can barely get it down to about 150 over 120 . 150/120
I have gone to the doctor and the medicine that they tried giving me did not do any better. In fact, it made me feel much worse.. I have tried /am trying many different supplements including this stuff called Ultimate BP from a Dr. Cutler, that was supposed to be guaranteed to work and I still have not gotten it down to normal.
I just thought that if I could find someone here that has had some success, it could help me

About the Program
The College of Arts and Sciences and the Division of Outreach Credit Programs work in partnership to deliver the bachelor of arts degree in psychology via distance education. The program requires a student to complete prerequisite coursework at a university or community college.
The degree program covers only upper-level psychology courses. The required psychology courses are PSYC 1000, 2000, and four of the five core courses (Biological - PSYC 2210 or 2080, Social - PSYC 2380, Clinical - PSYC 2340, Cognitive - PSYC 3120, and Developmental - PSYC 2300).
Students need a minimum of 33 hours in psychology with a minimum of 18 credit hours taken at the 3000- or 4000-level. The student must take at least one upper level course from a list of approved courses and the following:
- six credit hours in either sociology or anthropology
- either Principles of Biology (LIFE 1000 or 1003) or General Biology (LIFE 1010)
- either Fundamentals of Statistics (STAT 2050) or Introductory Statistics for Social Sciences (STAT 2070)
In addition to completing the necessary hours in the psychology department, additional credits must be earned to meet university, and College of Arts and Sciences requirements.
While we offer sociology, anthropology, and statistics courses through outreach, required courses in math and biology must be taken on-site at a community college or through the university. A comprehensive outline of all degree requirements may be found in UW's University Catalog.

just what I wanted.
I have been looking for about a year for this type product. This is exactly what I wanted. Have only used once so I can't rate durability of the product.
January 30, 2014
Good to have
Bought this as an emergency battery charger for my car. I actually had to use it two days ago. It takes about 1 hour to charge the battery to get the car started. I haven't tried to use it for any other purpose as yet.

I bought this for antique jeep when we go to the beach. I four wheel a lot and want to make sure I can jump start the car if the battery dies. This is great for that and has other options for the cellphone chargers, inflating the tires etc. I would recommend the purchase.

XU's Franklin named HBCU Female Athlete of the Year
SiMon Franklin
June 28, 2013
JACKSON, Miss. — Xavier University of Louisiana's SiMon Franklin was named HBCU Female Athlete of the Year for 2012-13 on Friday evening.
Franklin, from Baton Rouge, La., and a graduate of Xavier and St. Joseph's Academy, received the honor during the HBCU Awards banquet at the Jackson State University Student Center. The banquet is part of the inaugural National HBCU Media Week, which will conclude Saturday.
Franklin was a standout for Xavier in basketball and track and field. In basketball, Franklin was a four-year starter at guard who earned honorable mention as a senior on the NAIA Division I All-America Team. She was All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference for the second consecutive season after leading the Gold Nuggets with 10.7 points, 2.4 steals ands 24.9 minutes per game in 2012-13. The MVP of the 2012 GCAC Tournament, Franklin is one of nine Gold Nuggets to reach 1,000 points, 300 rebounds and 200 steals in a career.
Franklin had 1,136 points, 331 rebounds, 208 assists and 220 steals in 128 career games at Xavier and helped the Gold Nuggets win three GCAC regular-season championships, two GCAC Tournament championships and qualify for the NAIA Division I National Championship three times.
In track and field, Franklin was the 2013 GCAC outdoor champion in the 400-meter dash, and her time of 56.74 seconds at that meet qualified her automatically for the NAIA National Championships. She ran the anchor leg of the 400 relay team which finished second in the GCAC and also qualified for nationals.
"I am extremely honored," Franklin said. "I thought I was done with athletics and receiving awards after track season ended, but then this happened. To be honored nationwide, that is amazing. I never thought anything like that is possible."
Franklin recently began her first full-time job, in the mortgage department of Iberia Bank in downtown New Orleans.
"Monee is first-class person, a wonderful choice for this award and a great representative of Xavier University," said her basketball coach, Bo Browder. "She is the type of student-athlete we continue to recruit for Xavier."
Runners-up to Franklin were Dillard's Jazzmin Smith and Albany State's April Thomas, both basketball players.
XU nominees who did not win were Christabell Hamilton (women's volleyball) for female coach of the year, women's tennis for female team of the year and the College of Pharmacy for best STEM program (science, technology, engineering, mathematics).

China approves income distribution gameplan: Xinhua

BEIJING (REUTERS) - China has formulated a gameplan for a long-delayed overhaul of income distribution, that reformers hope will unlock revenues and help address China's growing inequality, but left details vague in an announcement on Tuesday.
The plan called for raising low incomes and "adjusting overly high income," as well as corporate and structural reforms, the Xinhua news agency said.
Jointly backed by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the plan was approved by the State Council, or cabinet, it said.
In approving the plan, the State Council noted that income distribution reform is fundamental to long-term economic development.

"Marriage and the family are institutions that must be promoted and defended from every possible misrepresentation of their true nature."
According to The Associated Press, he even added that "the contemporary crisis of marriage and the family... has led to grave societal problems bearing an immense human and economic cost."
Here words of a man who will never marryeven if we can say he is married with Jesus and who will never have of child!
The only thing that I like in his remarks, it is when he says "the legal definition of marriage", yes marriage is a law and not a religious affair.

So, if you're looking for a weekly newspaper that reaches the heart of Tennessee's Black community, then look no further – The Tennessee Tribune is it!!
WZTV Channel 17 Interviews TN Tribune Reporter
While The Tennessee Tribune is known for its insightful coverage of Nashville and Middle, TN news, it also remains committed to covering national news. The Tribune staff of journalist work at reporting on important stories across the nation. With The Tennessee Tribune Nashville residents can remain confident in gaining the best news throughout their community and around the country.
History Of The Tribune
The early 1990′s saw a number of eventful times for the African-American community both nationally and in Nashville. Nelson Mandela was freed after serving 27 years in a South African prison and George Augustus Stallings became the first Bishop of the African-American Catholic Church. While Ebony Magazine celebrated its 45th anniversary on November 1, Nashville's African American community was getting a new magazine Contempora, Inc., all its own. Rosetta Miller-Perry, who created Nashville's newest magazine, also launched a newspaper specifically designed to serve Nashville's diverse community.
Rosetta Irvin Miller-Perry, daughter of the late Anderson and Mary Irvin was born in Coraopolis, PA. She worked during high school as a dinner assistant for a Pittsburgh Judge, and whose daughter is a retired Northeast surgeon and was Rosetta's classmate during the day and in the evening became her superior. After graduating from Coraopolis Senior High School, Miller-Perry served in the United States Navy, married, had three children and obtained an undergraduate degree from Memphis State University (currently known as University of Memphis). She was among the first African-American students to graduate from Memphis State University fifty years ago.
Miller-Perry later moved to Washington D.C. to attend Howard University Law School. Shortly afterwards she worked for the United States Commission on Civil Rights and moved south where she divided her time between Memphis and Nashville serving as Director of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Clarence Thomas, now a Supreme Court Justice. After working for the United States government for more than a quarter of a century, Miller-Perry retired. Of course retirement means different things for different people, and in true Miller-Perry fashion, retirement for her meant more work – so she decided to try her hand at publishing.
In 1990, she founded Perry & Perry & Associates Inc. and launched Contempora Magazine. The following year, she created The Tennessee TRIBUNE, a newspaper highlighting the African-American and majority community locally, regionally and nationally. Like her newspaper, Miller-Perry has spread her positive influence locally, regionally and nationally.
During the early 1990′s, approximately 200 African-American newspapers were published nationwide. Denied funds from local banks, Miller-Perry invested $70,000 from her personal savings into the TRIBUNE and watched as it became one of the most influential African-American publications in Tennessee.
Locally, within five years Miller-Perry, purchased her first building on Morena Street. But wanting to be in the "heart of the African-American community," she found a 60-year old building in need of repairs, purchased and renovated it and then moved her operation to historic Jefferson Street. Following renovation of the old historic Universal Insurance Building, Miller-Perry's publication now had a permanent home in the center of Nashville's most affluent African-American community located with near Fisk University, Meharry Medical College and Tennessee State University.
Grand Opening of Jefferson Street Office
Regionally, Miller-Perry founded the Nashville's Black Chamber of Commerce and Anthony J. Cebrun Journalism Center. Since completing the one-year program with Leadership Nashville, she participates with this organization as a panelist. She is also active with Leadership Middle Tennessee, College Trust Fund, and the North Nashville Community Development Agency. She is a Golden Heritage Member of the NAACP. Miller-Perry has received more than 100 awards during her career. In light of her altruistic contributions and accomplishments, a scholarship was established in her name at the University of Memphis. Miller-Perry's name was placed on an award that honors outstanding African-American filmmakers nationally and internationally at the Nashville Film Festival. She has since transferred that award to minority/majority students who travel abroad during the summer months, requiring them to write about their experiences for her subscribers/readers when they return stateside.
Nationally, Miller Perry was nominated and accepted as a member into HistoryMakers. This organization represents the largest archival project of its kind in the world. The HistoryMakers is unique among other collections of African-American heritage, because of its massive scope. Like other oral historical collections, the HistoryMakers' collection date back to the earliest and most authentic efforts to capture the voice of a people, while introducing state-of-the-art technology to increase accessibility. The History Makers provide living proof that African-American history did not begin or end with the civil rights movement. Additionally, the HistoryMakers number in the thousands nationwide and their names are not just Harriet Tubman, W.E.B. DuBois, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ella Fitzgerald; but include Tennesseans such as Rosetta Miller-Perry, John Britton, Leatrice Mckissack, Dr. Jayme Williams, Rev. Benjamin Hooks, Judge D'Army Bailey and Nikki Giovanni.
Under Miller-Perry's regime, The TRIBUNE has become the most effective African-American weekly in Middle Tennessee. For more than 21 years, the paper has championed the cause of Civil Rights and leadership of African-Americans. Miller-Perry remains at the helm of the publication with her son-in-law Steve Benson and son William L. Miller II as associate publishers.

Whale Shark FAQ
Are whale sharks endangered?
No, whale sharks are listed as "Vulnerable" on the IUCN Redlist. The species is considered vulnerable because of pressures from unregulated fisheries in China, India and the Philippines. There are no fishing pressures on whale sharks in the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean Sea.
Where did the Georgia Aquarium's whale sharks come from?
Georgia Aquarium partnered, in part, with Taiwan to bring whale sharks to Atlanta because Taiwan is a country dedicated to conservation and education. Taiwan fished for whale sharks for consumption in the past and recently moved from a fisheries managed quota of 60 animals to 30 in 2007. Hundreds of whale sharks are taken through unregulated fishing by other countries in the region, prompting Taiwan to make the conservation initiative to no longer fish for whale sharks for consumption in 2008 and beyond. Georgia Aquarium applauds Taiwan for its leadership in conservation in the region, moving from a fishing-based economy around whale sharks to an eco-tourism-based economy around whale sharks.
How does the Georgia Aquarium know how to care for whale sharks?
Whale sharks have been in aquariums in Asia for decades. While early stages of care were in small exhibits with simple husbandry practices, the Asian aquariums have advanced whale shark care greatly. In Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, Japan, one of their whale sharks has been on display for 12 years. Georgia Aquarium took its centuries of combined husbandry experience in the care of elasmobranches (sharks, skates and rays) and combined it with the knowledge developed by the Asian aquariums. The sharing of knowledge continues today between Georgia Aquarium and the five other facilities that care for whale sharks in Asia.
How long do whale sharks live?
The aging and life span of whale sharks has not yet been determined. We know for certain they can live at least 12 years because a whale shark has been on display in Japan for that long. The life span of whale sharks is just beginning to be studied and is not understood at this time. A long-term goal of the Georgia Aquarium is to understand the life span and natural history of whale sharks.
Where does the funding come from for the whale shark program?
The Georgia Aquarium is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization funded by ticket sales and donations. Donations specifically to help support the research and care of our animals can be made to our 4R program (Rescue, Research, Responsibility and Rehabilitation).

Arming Teachers: St. Louis County Police Chief Responds To Support And Opposition
St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch says arming school personnel should be considered when discussing ways to improve school safety.
Host Don Marsh talked with Fitch about his proposal, which he made a couple of days after the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Fitch acknowledged that there are serious concerns about his proposal but said he hasn't heard any other ideas for how to address the lag time when someone starts shooting and police can respond.
"How do you think we should respond to that?" Fitch said. "Nobody has an answer. Nobody has said, 'well, I would do this.' They just say, 'I don't like what you said, it's unacceptable, it's irresponsible, you should be fired.' I've heard all of that. But, nobody has an answer for that critical time period."
Fitch said in some scenarios having an armed and trained faculty member with a gun could save lives.
A listener from Imperial, MO named Kristin called into the program expressing her support for Fitch's proposal.
I am so glad that someone with a little bit louder of a voice than I have is willing to breech this topic because I think it is an excellent idea. I know I would personally would feel much safer with my second grader at the school that there at, if I knew that if something like this were to happen, someone can take care of it before the police get there. Some people who feel like this is a bad idea…haven't really considered what they would do in that situation and how people can really deal with it. How do you deal with an armed assailant without a firearm?
Most of the feedback we received, however, was in opposition to the proposal.
On our Facebook page, Rosalind wrote, "I like that good teachers are calm and collected in a crisis, as (the teachers in Newtown) were. I don't want to have teachers having to worry about being armed and having to shoot someone in front of our children, because whatever calm reserve they had will evaporate under that kind of stress.
And, Tonya wrote, "What happens when a teacher shoots a kid? Who is liable then? We had a 100 pound English teacher and I think 99% of the class could overtake her and get her gun. Do we really want guns around hormonal, impulsive and angry teens?"
Do you agree with Chief Fitch? Add your opinion to the comments section below.

From the Editor
Network computing has been a hot topic for some time now, so it should come as no surprise that we included it in our 1999 editorial calendar. Network computers provide Internet/intranet services at a fraction of the cost of a PC. With the popularity of the World Wide Web, the network computer's time has come—companies dealing in network computers show high performance on the New York Stock Exchange.
One of Linux's biggest strengths has always been as an operating system for all types of servers: e-mail, web, boot, you name it. This makes it ideal for use in networking computers. IGEL's Etherminal proved Linux's worth as a thin client back in 1994 and has kept on proving it ever since. Last year, Corel's NetWinder joined the ranks.
Whether you want to learn more about using Linux in your network, how to easily access your network services or how to speed up your network, this month we have the articles you need. In addition to the features listed below, we also have two articles on our web site (see "Strictly On-line" in the Table of Contents): one explaining the DECnet protocol and one providing Perl scripts for accessing your network. Also on the web is an article about how one international company is using Linux for network management.
Along with these articles on the web site is the second part of last month's internationalization feature by Stephen Turnbull, "Alphabet Soup". In this follow-up, he discusses standardization of character sets—don't miss it.
"Strictly On-line" articles can be found at http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue60/.
First it was Netscape then the major database providers, and now major hardware vendors are jumping on the Linux bandwagon. At the end of January, Hewlett-Packard Co. and Silicon Graphics, Inc. both announced they would be providing Linux as an option on their computers with Intel chips. Rumor has it that Compaq, IBM and Dell will be following suit. Even Apple has said they will make Linux an option. These companies are not doing this to become popular with the open-software crowd—they are doing it to make money. They have seen that a market clearly exists and are taking advantage of that fact. More on making money with open-source software will be found in our June Enterprise Solutions supplement.
Marjorie Richardson, Editor
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Oliver Stone
Additional Information
Academy Awards
1986: Best Director
Oliver Stone for Platoon
- Woody Allen for Hannah and Her Sisters
- James Ivory for A Room with a View
- Roland Joffé for The Mission
- David Lynch for Blue Velvet
Much of Stone's body of work can be viewed as a baby boomer's history of the 1960s. His subjects have ranged from the Vietnam War to the Kennedy assassination to Richard Nixon. Platoon was a seminal film in his career; it was his first high-profile picture dealing with a major 1960s subject, and its financial and critical success made him a major Hollywood director. Stone's directorial choices, which emphasized the confusion of battle and the gritty details of daily warfare, gave the film a verisimilitude that other Vietnam films missed, and it maintains its reputation for revealing "Vietnam as it really was." That authenticity undoubtedly was based on Stone's own experiences in Vietnam. Stone was nominated for three Oscars in 1986, as director and writer of Platoon and as cowriter of Salvador.
Oliver Stone (b. Sept. 15, 1946, New York, N.Y., U.S.)
1989: Best Director
Oliver Stone for Born on the Fourth of July
- Woody Allen for Crimes and Misdemeanors
- Kenneth Branagh for Henry V
- Jim Sheridan for My Left Foot
- Peter Weir for Dead Poets Society
An influential producer, writer, and director of the 1980s and '90s, Oliver Stone won his second directorial Oscar for Born on the Fourth of July. Based on the life of Ron Kovic (Tom Cruise, AAN), the film is a moving personal drama about a paralyzed Vietnam veteran who becomes an outspoken antiwar activist. In this film, as in many others, Stone deals with the cultural impact of significant historical events of the 1960s. Like other Stone films, it fared quite well with audiences and critics, winning an Oscar for film editing and earning a total of eight nominations.* Stone himself collected three nominations—as director, as coproducer with A. Kitman Ho, and as cowriter with Ron Kovic.
Oliver Stone (b. Sept. 15, 1946, New York, N.Y., U.S.)
* picture, actor—Tom Cruise, director—Oliver Stone (AA), screenplay based on material from another medium—Oliver Stone and Ron Kovic, cinematography—Robert Richardson, sound—Michael Minkler, Gregory H. Watkins, Wylie Stateman, Tod A. Maitland, film editing—David Brenner and Joe Hutshing (AA), music (original score)—John Williams

this has just been magical, these last few days. everything is moving so fast, im scared that it shouldnt, but its exhilerating!!!
we met on the 3rd.
had our first date on the 6th.
our first kiss on the 10th.
i love him already, and thats scary, in a good way though. i met A at uni. we became friends, and then one night, we organised to go see a play with our friends, as drama students do. well that night didnt happen, so A and i decided to go on our own. after much mutual flirting it was decided that it was a date. well, after that night things just shot forward. i cant stop thinking about him, he consumes me. i kissed him last night. it was 6.30 and he walked me to my car. he was leaning on the side of my little car. i opened my door, put my bag in. i turned to him, and without saying anything i kissed him. i kissed him hard. it was passionate and deep and sexy and long. we'd been holding it in for 4 days, we were desperate for this. i loved it, finally i was kissing someone i had real feelings for. best kiss of my life so far. he made me hard.
he's beautiful, inside and out. i was wrong when i wrote he's a self hating homo. he's beautiful. i love him. oh god is this quick! he makes me breathless and makes me smile and makes me feel good about myself. i have problems with my weight - im not obese, but i have baby fat. he makes me feel good. he calls me handsome as a pet name ( i call him tiger when im feeling playful, babe in general talk). im so unbelievably happy!
ME! HAPPY! all i needed was the love of a good man, apparently. he takes my loneliness away. i never thought id feel so wonderful. i finally GET what love is. i can listen to those songs, and truly understand what they mean!!!
all i can say is, WOW. lol *beams*
Look! It's the release of the gay pheromones!
I swear all homosexuals (at least male - that's my only perspective, sorry girls) build up pheromones, because they live in a heterosexual culture and don't want the hetero's to go all stupid on them. But when they find a prospect, they just release crazy from the pheromone reservoirs.
i know right? A and i are moving so fast, but we've deduced that its because its an outlet, in a way. not that i only see him in that way, but ive had to wait a while longer than my heterosexual counterparts to go crazy in the sexual/relationship sense! and i lied before, uni started on the 3rd, and i'd met him on the 25th of feb during orientation. i know its not all that important, but it is to me! lol
First experience at College?
I had mine in MIDDLE SCHOOL!
Well... I guess my family likes to start young...
In fact, my brothers and I all lost our virginity before the age of 15...
Oh - but they don't know I lost it... I think...
Congratulations sweetie. I'm very happy for you.
Please visit my Myspace Profile and add me as a friend.

"bringing strong gay characters to Sci-Fi & Fantasy"
well i'm sorry azul, but i was so scared of my sexuality that it took me until i was halfway thru my senior year before i began to come out to my friends. i then had to wait until this year before i could meet someone half way decent, as the only gay guys at my all boys catholic school were either my close friends or were totally feral. it doesnt help that in the small city i live in, nothing caters for the meeting of a nice boy.

Frank at The Cannery
On the way to Laguna Beach we stopped for lunch at a restaurant that was located in an old cannery building. As you can see the tablecloths were so long you could not slide in the booth without practically pulling them off the table!
The decor was nice. I was less impressed with the food and the prices were high, considering.

« The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún » (cont'd)
The New Lay of Gudrún
Smoke had faded,
sunk was burning;
windblown ashes
were wafted cold.
As sun setting
had Sigurd passed;
and Brynhild burned
as blazing fire.
It is told that after the murder of Sigurd, Gudrún distraught with grief would not look on her brothers or her mother, but wandered away into the forest. At that time report came to the Niflungs, Gunnar and Högni, whose father King Gjúki was now dead, of the rising power of Atli, king of the Huns, and the westward movement of his armies; and it was said that, ever greedy for gold, he had heard of Fafnir's treasure, seized by the Niflungs after Sigurd's death.
The thoughts of Grímhild the queen turned towards Gudrún, seeing in her beauty an escape from this menace; and they sought for her, and found her, living alone in a house in the woods, where she wove a great tapestry in which she showed all the story from the Falls of Ándvari to the coming of Sigurd to King Gjúki's courts There Gunnar and Högni offered her gold in recompense, but Gudrún still filled with hatred rejected them, and Grímhild held out to her, in vain, a vision of her power and wealth as Atli's queen.
But the old sorceress daunted Gudrún with her eyes and the force of her will. Gudrún sorrowful became the Queen of Hunland; and Atli swore oaths of lasting truce and league with her brothers. Atli was enamoured of her, but still more of the treasure of Fáfnir; and the gold that he lusted for never left the land of the Niflungs. Gudrún perceived what passsed in his mind, and forboded evil.
Atli prepared a great feast for guests far and wide; and a messenger named Vingi was sent on the long journey from Hunland to the halls of the Niflungs in the Rhineland. (cont'd)
