|Primary Election
|General Election
Primary: New York has a closed primary system, meaning only registered members of a particular party may vote in that party's primary.
Voter registration: Voters had to register to vote in the primary by June 1. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 12, or October 26 in person.[2]
- See also: New York elections, 2012
Incumbent: Heading into the election the incumbent is Nita Lowey (D), who was first elected to the House in 1988. Due to redistricting, Lowey is running in the redrawn 17th district, and 19th district incumbent Nan Hayworth is running in the new 18th.
This will be the first election using new district maps based on 2010 Census data. New York's 18th congressional district is located in the southeastern portion of the state and includes Orange and Putnam counties and parts of Westchester and Putnam counties..[3]
Fusion voting
New York is one of eight states that have "electoral fusion" -- which allows more than one political party to support a common candidate. This creates a situation where one candidate will appear multiple times on the same ballot, for the same position. Electoral fusion was once widespread across the United States, but is now commonly practiced only in New York.
Opponents of fusion voting argue that the process results in dealmarking to ensure that patronage is rampant.[4] Proponents maintain that fusion voting allows for minor parties to actually make a difference during the election, allowing voters the opportunity to vote for a minority party platform but still affect the general election result.[5]
Candidates appearing in the general election will be listed below with colored dots corresponding to any party they will represent on the ballot.

Race background
General election
New York's 18th is considered to be Leaning Republican according to the New York Times race ratings. Republican incumbent Nan Hayworth is challenged by Sean Maloney (D). Democrats have made her a top target in this year's election. [15]
Using the Federal Election Commission's October Quarterly campaign finance filings, the Brennan Center for Justice at The New York University School of Law published a report on October 22nd focusing on the 25 House races rated most competitive by The Cook Political Report, including the race for New York's 18th. The report examines the relative spending presence of non-candidate groups, candidates, and small donors in these races - "which will likely determine which party will control the House." [16]
|List of 25 Toss Up Races from the Cook Political Report:[17]
Incumbent Nan Hayworth has raised more money in the NY House election than her opponent, a trend shared by 13 other Republicans in contested House races in 2012. She has raised $2.2 million through June 30th, more than double the $738,382 she raised two years ago at this time. She has $1.5 million in the bank, compared to $775,000 four years ago. Her opponent, Sean Maloney in comparison has $264,364 in the bank and raised $675,771 through June 30th. Timothy Persico, Maloney's campaign manager, alleges Hayworth is raising her money through special interests-"PACS and corporate lobbyists have sent over a million dollars to Congresswoman Hayworth because she's worth every penny."[18]
New York's 18th District has been included in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red to Blue List," which identifies districts that the organization has specifically targeted to flip from Republican to Democratic control.[19]
Incumbent Nan Hayworth is a part of the National Republican Congressional Committee's Patriot Program, a program to help House Republicans stay on offense and increase their majority in 2012.[20]
Democratic primary
A field of five Democrats sought their party's nod in the June 26 primary.
According to The New York Times, cardiologist and Cortlandt town council member[21] Rich Becker and former Bill Clinton aide Sean Maloney were the frontrunners. The Times endorsed Becker, based on the paper's concerns about Maloney's handling of an investigation of Eliot Spitzer.[22] Maloney, unsurprisingly, gained the endorsement of his former boss, Bill Clinton,[22] along with the nod from major unions in the state, including the New York State United Teachers, the state AFL-CIO, and some large SEIU locals.[23]
Wrappinger Falls Mayor Matt Alexander,[24] Tuxedo Park Mayor Tom Wilson,[25] and local hero Duane Jackson also ran.[23] Jackson, a street vendor, thwarted a bomb attempt in Times Square.[23]
Maloney stressed his endorsements, as well as his fundraising advantage over the rest of the Democratic candidates -- the funding, he says, will be necessary to unseat Hayworth in the general. Alexander, on the other hand, said that money will pour in to whoever opposes Hayworth.[9]
Independence Ticket
Hayworth has been removed from the Independence ticket by the state appeals court, upholding a ruling by the state Supreme Court that only the names on her petition that were signed were valid. The names printed on the petition were not counted and as a result, Hayworth did not have enough signatures to remain on the Independence ticket. In 2010, she received 5,400 Independence votes. The loss of the Independence votes in the 2012 election is expected to tighten the race.[26]
Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in New York
Following the results of the 2010 Census, New York lost two congressional seats, bringing its total number of representatives down from 29 to 27.
Under the new map, the district is less strongly Democratic.[27]
According to a report in the Washington Post political blog "The Fix," New York is home one of the top 10 redistricting battles in the nation.[28]
The 18th district was re-drawn after the 2010 Census. The new district is composed of the following percentages of voters of the old congressional districts.[29][30]
- 1 percent from the 18th congressional district
- 76 percent from the 19th congressional district
- 2 percent from the 20th congressional district
- 21 percent from the 22nd congressional district
Registration statistics
As of October 29, 2012, District 18 had the following partisan registration breakdown according to the New York State Board of Elections:
|New York Congressional District 18[31]
|Congressional District
|District Total
|Other & Unaffiliated
|Party Advantage
|Change in Advantage from 2010
|District 18
|"Party advantage" is the percentage gap between the two major parties in registered voters. "Change in advantage" is the spread in difference of party advantage between 2010 and 2012 based on the congressional district number only.
District partisanship
FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012 study
- See also: FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012
In 2012, FairVote did a study on partisanship in the congressional districts, giving each a percentage ranking (D/R) based on the new 2012 maps and comparing that to the old 2010 maps. New York's 18th District became more balanced because of redistricting.[32]
Cook Political Report's PVI
In 2012, Cook Political Report released its updated figures on the Partisan Voter Index, which measures each congressional district's partisanship relative to the rest of the country. New York's 18th congressional district has a PVI of R+2, which is the 215th most Republican district in the country. In 2008, this district was won by Barack Obama (D), 52-48 percent over John McCain (R). In 2004, George W. Bush (R) won the district 54-46 percent over John Kerry (D).[33]
District history
On November 2, 2010, Nita Lowey was re-elected to the United States House for a twelfth term. She defeated Jim Russell (R who also ran on the Conservative Party ticket).[34]

Using JNDI Resources with Jetty
Jetty supports
java:comp/env lookups in webapps. This is an optional feature, and as such some setup needs to be done. We'll show you how to do it, although we have provided jetty configuration files that already have JNDI enabled to help you get going faster. More on that later.
Firstly, to enable JNDI for a web application, you need to configure the WebAppContext to parse the web.xml file and perform the
java:comp/env linkages. The class that does this is
org.mortbay.jetty.plus.webapp.Configuration, and we specify its name in the list of configurations to be applied to the webapp when we define the
org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext for it. The following example enables naming services for the
Or, more conveniently, you can specify that these configurations are applied to all webapps deployed by the WebAppDeployer :
You may now configure naming resources that can be referenced in a web.xml file and accessed from within the
java:comp/env naming environment of the webapp during execution. Specifically, you may configure support for the following web.xml elements:
Configuring env-entrys shows you how to set up overrides for
<env-entry> elements in web.xml. Configuring resource-refs and resource-env-refs discusses how to configure support resources such as
Furthermore, it is possible to plug a JTA
javax.transaction.UserTransaction implementation into Jetty so that webapps can lookup
java:comp/UserTransaction to obtain a distributed transaction manager. See Configuring XA Transactions.
You can define your naming resources with 3 scopes:
- jvm scope - the name is unique within the jvm
- server scope - the name is unique to the Server instance
- webapp scope - the name is unique to the WebAppContext instance
The section Global or scoped to a webapp explains what scoping is, and shows you how to use it. Essentially, scoping ensures that JNDI bindings from one webapp do not interfere with the JNDI bindings of another - unless of course you wish them to.
Before we go any further, lets take a look at what kind of things can be bound into JNDI with Jetty.
What can be bound and general overview
There are 4 types of objects that can be bound into Jetty's JNDI:
- an ordinary POJO instance
- a java.naming.Reference instance
- an object instance that implements the java.naming.Referenceable interface
- a linkage between a name as referenced in web.xml and as referenced in the environment
The binding for all of these object types generally follows the same pattern:
<New class=type of naming entry>
<Arg>name to bind as</Arg>
<Arg>the object to bind</Arg>
type of naming entry can be:
"org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.EnvEntry"for <env-entry>s
"org.mortbay.naming.plus.Resource"for all other type of resources
"org.mortbay.plus.naming.Transaction"for a JTA manager. We'll take a closer look at this in the Configuring XA Transactions section.
"org.mortbay.plus.naming.Link"for link between a web.xml resource name and a NamingEntry. See Configuring Links for more info.
There are 3 places in which you can define naming entries:
- jetty.xml
- WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml
- context xml file
Naming entries defined in a jetty.xml file will generally be scoped at either the jvm level or the Server level. Naming entries in a jetty-env.xml file will generally be scoped to the webapp in which the file resides, although you are able to enter jvm or Server scopes if you wish, that is not really recommended. In most cases you will define all naming entries that you want visible to a particular Server instance, or to the jvm as a whole in a jetty.xml file. Entries in a context xml file will generally be scoped at the level of the webapp to which it applies, although once again, you can supply a less strict scoping level of Server or jvm if you want.
Configuring env-entrys
Sometimes it is useful to be able to pass configuration information to a webapp at runtime that either cannot be or is not convenient to be coded into a web.xml
<env-entry>. In this case, you can use
org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.EnvEntry and even configure them to override an entry of the same name in web.xml.
This example will define a virtual
<env-entry> called
mySpecialValue with value
4000 that is unique within the whole jvm. It will be put into JNDI at
java:comp/env/mySpecialValue for every webapp deployed. Moreover, the boolean argument indicates that this value should override an
env-entry of the same name in web.xml. If you don't want to override, then omit this argument or set it to
See Global or scoped to a webapp for more information on other scopes.
Note that the Servlet Specification only allows the following types of object to be bound to an
- java.lang.String
- java.lang.Integer
- java.lang.Float
- java.lang.Double
- java.lang.Long
- java.lang.Short
- java.lang.Character
- java.lang.Byte
- java.lang.Boolean
However, Jetty is a little more flexible and will also allow you to bind custom POJOs, javax.naming.References and javax.naming.Referenceables. Be aware if you take advantage of this feature that your web application will not be portable.
To use the
EnvEntry configured above, use code in your servlet/filter/etc such as:
Configuring resource-refs and resource-env-refs
Any type of resource that you want to refer to in a web.xml file as a
<resource-ref> or
<resource-env-ref> can be configured using the
org.mortbay.naming.plus.Resource type of naming entry. You provide the scope, the name of the object (relative to
java:comp/env) and a POJO instance or a javax.naming.Reference instance or javax.naming.Referenceable instance.
The J2EE Specification recommends that DataSources are stored in
java:comp/env/jdbc, JMS connection factories under
java:comp/env/jms, JavaMail connection factories under
java:comp/env/mail and URL connection factories under
java:comp/env/url. For example:
Resource Type
Name in jetty.xml
Environment Lookup
Configuring DataSources
Lets look at an example of configuring a javax.sql.DataSource. Jetty can use any DataSource implementation available on it's classpath. In our example, we'll use a DataSource from the Derby relational database, but you can use any implementation of a
javax.sql.DataSource. In this example, we'll configure it as scoped to a webapp with the id of 'wac':
The above would create an instance of
org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDataSource, call the two setter methods
setDatabaseName("test"); and
setCreateDatabase("create"); and bind it into the JNDI scope for the webapp. If you have the appropriate <resource-ref> setup in your web.xml, then it will be available from application lookups as
To lookup your DataSource in your servlet/filter/etc do:
There are more examples of DataSources for various databases here.
Configuring JMS Queues, Topics and ConnectionFactories
Jetty is able to bind any implementation of the JMS destinations and connection factories. You just need to ensure the implementation jars are available on Jetty's classpath.
Here's an example of binding an ActiveMQ in-JVM connection factory:
There is more information about ActiveMQ and Jetty here.
Configuring Mail
Jetty also provides infrastructure for providing access to javax.mail.Sessions from within an application:
The setup above creates an instance of the
org.mortbay.naming.factories.MailSessionReference class, calls it's setter methods
setPassword("OBF:1xmk1w261z0f1w1c1xmq"); to set up the authentication for the mail system, then populates a set of Properties, setting them on the MailSessionReference instance. The result of this is that an application can lookup
java:comp/env/mail/Session at runtime and obtain access to a
javax.mail.Session that has the necessary configuration to permit it to send email via SMTP.
We will be adding more examples of configuring database datasources (eg using XAPool and DBCP) and jms connection factories, so check back regularly. Contributions are also welcome.
Configuring XA Transactions
If you want to be able to perform distributed transactions with your resources, you will need a transaction manager that supports the JTA interfaces that you can lookup as
java:comp/UserTransaction in your webapp. Jetty does not ship with one, rather you may plug in the one of your preference. You can configure the one of your choice using the
org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Transaction object in a jetty config file. In the following example, we will configure the Atomikos transaction manager:
See also the instructions for how to configure JOTM. Contributions of instructions for other transaction managers are welcome.
Configuring Links
Usually, the name you configure for your NamingEntry should be the same as the name you refer to it as in you web.xml. For example:
If you wish, you can refer to it in web.xml by a different name, and link it to the name in your org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Resource by using an org.mortbay.jetty.plus.naming.Link type of NamingEntry. For the example above, we could refer to the
jdbc/mydatasource resource as {{jdbc/mydatasource1}
by doing:
This can be useful when you cannot change web.xml but need to link it to a resource in your deployment environment.
Global or scoped to a webapp
As we said before, you can control the visibility of your JNDI naming entries within your jvm, Server and WebAppContext instances. Naming entries at the jvm scope are visible by any application code, and are available to be bound to java:comp/env. Naming entries at the Server scope will not interfere with entries of the same name in a different Server instance, and are avilable to be bound to java:comp/env of any webapps deployed to that Server instance. Finally, the most specific scope are entries at the webapp scope. These are only available to be bound to java:comp/env of the webapp in which it is defined.
The scope is controlled by the 1st parameter to the NamingEntry.
The jvm scope is represented by a null parameter:
The Server scope is represented by referencing the related Server object:
The webapp scope is represented by referencing the related WebAppContext object:
As you can see, the most natural config files in which to declare naming entries of each scope are:
- jetty.xml - jvm or Server scope
- WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml or a context xml file - webapp scope
Demo Web Application
There is a demonstration webapp which sets up examples of all of the JNDI resources we've discussed so far.
In order to run this demonstration, you will need to download the transaction manager of your choice and Derby . At the time of writing, the webapp has been tested with both JOTM and with Atomikos transaction managers.
Building the Demo
As the demo webapp is not pre-built with the distribution, you first have to build it. It is located in
examples/test-jndi-webapp. There is a
README.txt file in there which explains how to build it, and how to add support for different transaction managers.
- run "mvn clean install" to build it
- then edit contexts/test-jndi.xml and uncomment one of the transaction manager setups
- then edit contexts/test-jndi.d/WEB-INF/jetty-env.xml and uncomment one of the transaction manager setups
- copy a derby.jar to the jetty lib/ directory, as well as copy all the necessary jars for the flavour of transaction manager you are using. There are instructions for some of the popular transaction managers on the wiki at JNDI
You run the demo like so:
For jetty 6.x:
For jetty 7.x:
The URL for the demonstration is at:
Adding Support for a Different Transaction Manager
- Edit the src/etc/templates/filter.properties file and add a new set of token and replacement strings following the pattern established for ATOMIKOS and JOTM.
- Edit the src/etc/templates/jetty-env.xml file and add configuration for new transaction manager following the pattern established for the other transaction managers.
- Edit the src/etc/templates/jetty-test-jndi.xml file and add configuration for the new transaction manager following the pattern established for the other transaction managers.

As Rin experiences the ups and downs of being a teenager, she begins to ponder what it means to be family. In her exploration of that question, she takes it upon herself to track down Masako, her birth mother. Masako, now engaged and pregnant, is about to start a new family of her own. But with Masako's feelings of guilt over her treatment of Rin, she can't bring herself to tell Daikichi of the recent developments in her life.
When Rin and Masako end up meeting face-to-face as a result of Rin's legwork, will the mother-daughter relationship that's been all but nonexistent till now end in fireworks?

Southwest has moved from "the bus" to a very pleasant and (dare I say it?) fun way to travel. The attendants are efficient, flexible, funny and nice, the plane loading good and yes -- they still have peanuts! Really like Southwest Airlines.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), today released a new report that shows a rising level of student debt in America and highlights the need for legislation to stop student loan interest rates from doubling. The report shows that student debt has increased significantly in recent years, nearly doubling from $550 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007 to just under $1 trillion in the first quarter of 2013. With interest rates on federally subsidized Stafford loans set to double on July 1, the report calls for swift action to prevent loan rates from increasing and new strategies to make higher education more affordable. Klobuchar has cosponsored legislation that would prevent interest rates on federally-subsidized Stafford loans from doubling from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, costing students thousands of dollars in increased interest payments.
"Higher education provides students with the skills needed to be competitive in today's global economy and creates a gateway to well-paying careers. At a time when more and more jobs require some form of postsecondary education, we cannot allow cost to be a barrier to opportunity," Klobuchar said. "This report makes it clear that we need to take immediate action to block the rate hike and I will continue to focus on policies that make college more accessible and affordable for all Americans."
The new report shows that two thirds of 2011 college graduates have student loan debt. Those borrowers have an average balance of over $27,000, 60 percent of the average annual income for recent graduates. Student debt can negatively impact both individual Americans and the larger U.S. economy, since graduates with high debt may delay making key investments like saving for retirement or buying a home. Student debt may even impact a person's career choices, deterring some graduates from taking lower-paying jobs in public interest fields like education.
New borrowers may soon face additional costs: if Congress doesn't act, interest rates will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on new federally subsidized Stafford loans issued on or after July 1, increasing the cost of a college education by as much as $4,500.
Today's report highlights the need for smart policies to ease the student debt burden and expand access to affordable options in higher education. Potential solutions include working to restructure loans based on financial hardship, lowering interest rates on federal direct loans and forgiving loan debt for students entering lower-paying jobs in public interest careers.
Klobuchar has fought for policies to expand access to higher education and make college more affordable since her very first days in the Senate. In 2007, she helped pass the College Cost Reduction Act, legislation that raised the maximum Pell grant amounts that students can receive, capped loan payments at 15 percent of discretionary income and cut student loan rates in half for federally subsidized Stafford Loans. She also helped pass legislation to eliminate waste from the federal student loan system and fought to pass legislation last summer to prevent interest rates from doubling on federally subsidized Stafford loans.
The full report on student debt can be found here.

This is one of Robert H. Goddard's P-series rockets, probably the one he used for a test in October 1941 during which the rocket jammed in the launch tower and failed to lift. Goddard's P-series was so designated because they contained his propellant pumps. The series was also his largest and last liquid-fuel flight rockets and were tested at Roswell, New Mexico, during 1938-1941.
However, only two P-series rockets achieved flight. But the tests were discontinued because Goddard moved in 1942 to Annapolis, Maryland to undertake wartime work for the Navy on non-flight rocket motors. This rocket was donated to the Smithsonian by the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation for the Promotion of Aeronautics in 1950.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Fresh off of the winter break and heading back into Conference Carolinas play, the Pfeiffer University men's basketball team currently ranks first in a pair of categories in the latest NCAA II National Rankings through January 3rd. Out of 270 teams, the Falcons lead the country in scoring offense and steals per game, ranking in the top-10 in seven total categories. Individually, Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) and Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) also appear in the top-10.
Head coach Dave Davis has the Falcons scoring 108 points per game which leads the country by over three points. Pfeiffer has eclipsed the century mark in each of its last three games, all three wins, scoring the fourth most points in a game with 137 at Washington Adventist and in a tie for ninth with 124 tossed in against Lees-McRae.
The Falcons also lead the nation in steals per game averaging 15.3 thefts a contest. Other top-10 team rankings see the Falcons rank fifth in three-pointers per game at 10.6, sixth in three-point percentage at 44.8%, sixth in assists per game at 20.4 and sixth in turnover margin at 7.0.
Individually, Woods stands sixth in the country in points per game averaging 23.9 points, crossing the 30-point plateau twice this season. Woods scored a career-high 34 points against USC-Aiken back in November while scoring an even 30 against Washington Adventist this past Sunday. Pettiway, ranking seventh in three-point percentage, has drained 53.3% of his long-range shots, converting a season-high eight three-balls against Lees-McRae in late November.
Woods, Pettiway and the rest of the Falcons get back to hardwood action on Thursday night in their first Conference Carolinas road contest at Mount Olive. Pfeiffer returns to the Merner Gym for a pair of conference tilts Saturday against Belmont Abbey and Monday against Coker. Both tip-offs are set for 7:30 p.m.

The best SouthWest Edgecombe boys basketball team in years invaded Viking Gym Tuesday night.
Unfortunately for the Cougars, the Kinston Vikings were their normal selves, slicing and dicing the much improved visitors 75-49 in an Eastern Plains 2A Conference contest.
"We were very efficient and we beat a pretty good basketball team," Kinston coach Perry Tyndall said. "They have a new coach (Anthony Burns) and he's obviously doing a good job. They're a much tougher out than they used to be."
The Cougars (4-3, 0-2) have already won more games than they did all of last year, a season in which they also lost at home to Kinston by 55 points, 88-33.
And while certainly better, this year's SWE squad found out that it still isn't quite ready for prime time.
Kinston (7-0, 2-0) overwhelmed the Cougars from the start, building a 22-8 lead after one quarter and never looking back.
"We did some nice things early, but we still have a lot to improve on," Tyndall said. "We were unselfish and that led to some excitement, but there were also stretches where we were much too sluggish on both ends of the court."
One player who wasn't sluggish and created much of the excitement was senior Denzel Keyes, whom followed up a 30-point outburst Friday at Wilson Beddingfield with 27 more against SWE.
Keyes was a major beneficiary of Josh Dawson's game-high 11 assists, slamming home four dunks off of precision alley-oop passes from point guard Dawson.
Keyes also drilled a pair of 3-pointers and connected on 12 of 14 from the field. At one point he made nine shots in a row.
"Denzel is shooting the ball really well right now," Tyndall said. "He's being more aggressive offensively and looking to score. He's also gotten a lot of great looks and easy buckets because we've been so unselfish as a team."
Brandon Ingram added 14 points for Kinston and was the only other Vikings player in double figures although 10 reached the scoring column.
Kinston doesn't have a lot of time to reflect on the victory as it must travel to Vanceboro today to face 3A power West Craven. The Eagles gave Kinston its toughest test so far this season, falling 74-72 back on Dec. 7.
The winless Cougars (0-7, 0-2) didn't put up much of a fight as expected against the talented Vikings, who had seven players score at least six points.
Kinston's only anxious moments came in the second quarter when the Cougars closed a 12-point deficit to 19-14 with 1:51 left before halftime.
The Vikings (7-1, 2-0) responded by scoring the final six points of the half and then the first nine of the third quarter to blow the game open.
Monica Lofton led Kinston with 10 points, while Lydia Rivers scored seven points and grabbed 15 rebounds despite sitting out the game's final 10 minutes.
Alexis Williams added nine points and Xequoijah Washington eight, while Hannah Vermillion, Takerian Harper, and Starneka Clark all contributed six apiece for coach Hubert Quinerly's squad.

OXFORD, Ohio—It took just 4:26 minutes for the Miami University women's soccer team to score a goal, and that was all the RedHawks needed as they collected their sixth straight shutout and fourth consecutive win in a 1-0 triumph over Central Michigan University on Friday afternoon at the Miami Soccer Field.
It was a key Mid-American Conference win for the RedHawks (9-6-2; 6-1-2 MAC) as they topped the West Division co-leading Chippewas (6-10-1; 6-3-0 MAC). With West Division co-leader Eastern Michigan's 1-1 tie against Buffalo on Friday afternoon, Miami moved into sole possession of first place in the MAC.
"We clinched a MAC Tournament berth last weekend," said head coach Bobby Kramig. "This one today probably didn't do anything for us in terms of clinching the division or a home quarterfinal, but it certainly was a huge help and a huge step in that direction. We put ourselves in a very good position, and it's going to be up to us to capitalize on it."
Sophomore midfielder Jess Bronke headed in a goal in the fifth minute off a corner kick from junior forward Hailey Pleshakov. It was one of five shots on goal in the opening 45 minutes for the RedHawks as the Chippewas took just two shots for the half, one of which was on goal.
CMU kept senior goalkeeper Allison Norenberg busier in the second half, taking eight shots over the final 45 minutes, four of which were on goal.
"Central Michigan is a very good team, and I'm really impressed by how they play. It was a game that was going to require big plays, and certainly Allison (Norenberg) pulled one out there. Fantastic," said Kramig. "The defensive had to work hard today. I thought they did a great job. It was a very disciplined effort on their part. They kept their shape and didn't get drawn out of position too much. I felt like they did a nice job, and I'm really pleased with them."
With the shutout, Norenberg set the Miami single-season record for shutouts, collecting her ninth of the season. She added to her career shutouts record, posting her 21st.
"As has been the case, I thought we left a number of goals on the field today," added Kramig. "We are certainly getting chances, and it would be nice to see us put a couple of more away, but I like the way our offense is clicking right now. Everyone is on the same page. They're all playing the same game, playing more aggressively, playing with more confidence. That helps us a lot. That helps take pressure off the defense."
The win extended Miami's unbeaten streak to eight games and was the RedHawks' ninth shutout win of the season.
Miami travels to Bowling Green for a 1 p.m. match on Sunday, Oct. 27 and rounds out the regular season at Ball State on Thursday, Oct. 31.

Rated 5 out of 5�by kilokang Beautiful Irons. Longer and Forgiving. Got these to replace my Ping G10's. I've been playing about 2 years and average 93. Always was nervous about Mizunos because of those MP's. But these JPX 825 are cavity backed and hit longer than most cavity back. The soft face gives a great feel on hits... even ones that aren't pure. Definitely a thinner bottom than some cavities so takes some getting used to. Like i said i'm a 20+ handicap but these are a great club for that kind of player. Clubs are absolutely beautiful. From the face at address to pulling them from the bag. I got fitted and i like these better than the Taylormade or Ping cavities i tested. Highly recommend. I got a 4 hybrid to gap wedge set. Not quite comfortable hitting a 4 iron so the 4 hybrid was a great choice. Only complaint is that the face is so soft, which is great for stopping the ball on the green, can get nicked up easy. So use your 56 in the bunkers and don't use a nicked up ball cuz it could leave a mark. February 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by ironcondor Simply amazing!! Let me start off by saying that I pretty much started golfing and taking some lessons a year ago. I am about equivalent to a 20-25 handicap. I was hitting the Diablo Edge irons until last week. While the Diablos are truly forgiving and had decent distance, they completely lacked feel. I didn't exactly know what this meant until I hit the JPX 825's. What a difference! I can distinctly tell where on the face I am impacting, but the forgiveness is still there! I am actually hitting these irons much straighter, about 10-15 yds farther, and far more consistently. I could not be more thrilled. On top of that, these sticks look amazing! The pics do not do them justice. They simply look fantastic for a GI club. I will playing with these irons for many years to come. May 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ponch Soft and Buttery I am a 16 handicap who recently purchased a 7-wood out of frustration with my iron play. I replaced my old 15-year old Mizuno's with these JPX 825's and I am very pleased thus far. Very forgiving even on mis-hits. Very nice feel at contact. I will say the higher irons are very easy to hit and I have found the lower ones (4, 5) to be much longer than those they replaced. I think these are a good safe choice. I tested them against Titlest AP1 and Ping G2. June 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jec.210 Best ever I'm am a high handicap golfer and have struggled with distance from other clubs. I have played tm rbz, ping i15, Nike sq machspeed and these jpx 825 have out hit them by more than 15-20yds. The feel is great and makes me have more confidents standing over the ball. If your looking for that magic club this is it, would recommend to anyone wanting to play better and have some of the best looking clubs ever. May 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by batteryman Typical excellent Mizuno quality. My first set of Mizuno irons were the "Grads," and I have used three more sets since then. I tried two other brands, but I have come back to Mizuno to stay!! May 9, 2013

Video Messages Coming to Skype on iOS and Mac
Microsoft is adding Video Messages to Skype for iOS, Android, and Mac this week, which will allow Skype users to send up to three minutes of video to one another. It will essentially function as video voicemail.
The messages, which are designed to be sent to both online and offline users, are a part of Skype Premium. Each Skype account will receive 20 free messages and when those are used, additional messages will require a subscription to Skype premium for $4.99 per month. The Verge went hands on with the app:
Video Messages are currently rolling out to users on both iOS and Mac. Skype for the iPhone [Direct Link] and for the iPad [Direct Link] can be downloaded from the App Store and Skype for Mac can be downloaded from the website. All three apps are free.

Good feature--but Skype has been about 60% reliable for me on all platforms, and that's not good enough to pay for.
Question: if you log on to Skype on your iPad/iPhone and then force quit the app or reboot your device, can you still receive incoming call notifications via Push? And then Skype will launch to take the call if you accept?
In the past, the Skype iOS app ONLY lets you receive calls while the app is actively running... which means very noticeable battery drain, and wastes RAM.
Other messaging apps are able to use the feature Apple built years ago for this: push notifications. Push works whether the app is running or not, and uses no battery. I can stay logged into AIM, FaceTime, Facebook and may others--able to receive incoming messages--EVEN when those apps are not running. Even if I reboot my device, I don't have to re-login. These are modern, efficient apps, in other words, not trying to do things the old way and run CPU cycles 24/7! An app does need to be running to actually be ON a call if you accept, but there's no need for it to be running just to find out you have an incoming call request.
I hope Skype has caught up, but I tend to doubt it. (I'm amazed Apple even allows an app to act the way Skype has long acted. I know there's an iOS VOIP service that keeps an app live... but it should only be needed when you are ON a call. Not 24/7.)

On Mac OS I always have connection problems with video calls that don't occur with FaceTime. I still use Skype with some students I teach on line because I can text or send files and screen share all at the same time. If there is a better multi platform alternative I would like to use it. Skype for Mac or ios runs my battery down so fast and makes both my MacBook Pro and iPhone 4 heat up. The processors are put to work I guess. I have problems with my contacts showing up correctly on my MacBook as well.
Nope. Cheat me once shame on Skype cheat me twice and I'm just stupid. Ha

In more than 20 years of Apple experience I don't think I have witnessed a piece of software become more disappointing than Skype.
They destroyed a wonderful piece of software,service and experience. (and most of the degradation happened before MS bought it)

How are unlimited video messages possibly not free? Let alone regular voicemail? It's 2013.

It is now up to Microsoft to not continue with this practice and thus shoot themselves in the foot.

Using Skype isn't a good idea, let alone paying for it...
There are so many alternatives that are so much better. Google Plus is great, and so is AIM/.Mac/MobileMe. They're all free. Meanwhile, Skype is mediocre and paid. Of course, I looked Skype up on Wikipedia at some point and noticed that Microsoft is running it. That explains a lot.

I actually have a bit higher hopes for Skype under Microsoft than I would have before. Most of the problems were not MS's making. I'd hope MS would fix them before moving all their MSN users over to Skype, though, and that hasn't happened. I hope a complete overhaul is in the works behind the scenes.
With real push service, to stop burning up my batteries!

Useless feature.
Should've just included messages to offline users with push notifications.
The way Skype operates is outdated. Just think, you have to first call somebody with a regular line and tell them to turn on Skype, and then chat, totally dependent and outdated method of establishing contact. If you've got Viber, LINE or even a Facebook messenger, any of the new generation messengers, they don't have this online and offline mode anymore, you just send a text and forget it, they'll either receive it instantly or if they have no connection once they go online it'll be delivered them.

the biggest downside of skype is that is not possible leave a message.
the other person will receive the message just when the sender comes back online. that's sad...
i wonder how such a mediocre service became the one and only voip software to be used globally, and still no one seems to be able (or willing) to compete with it, not even facebook or google..

I'm sure there are some other 3rd party apps out there, but what kind of market saturation is there and do they have even remotely good Mac support? Sadly, this is why Skype is still important.
Why hasn't Apple jumped in and offered their own cross-platform alternative? They just dumped Safari support for Windows. It seems we like to complain about Microsoft not supporting Macs, but I don't see Apple stepping up any longer on their end and making Windows compatible applications (other than iTunes which is too much $$$ to ignore).
Skype actually works well here on my Mac Mini EXCEPT that when I do a 720p video call with my new Logitech B910 webcam, the CPU usage jumps to 100% while video is active (it starts in a lower resolution that uses 30% but as soon as it detects sufficient bandwidth, it goes to 720p automatically and pegs the CPU and starts heating up the computer. Facetime, by comparison uses 25% CPU for the same relative call to another Mac. But again, it seems I'm limited to Macs and iOS devices.

If you don't have an iPhone (I don't; I use a dirt cheap pre-pay system for voice only), you don't generally have this "always online" thing going for you and sadly, the biggest hurdle for skype in general is that when you close that Macbook lid, the application cannot making a ringing sound so you know to open the lid back up again. Apple has made some background tasks work on SOME devices like the Macbook Air, but I don't think Skype qualifies as a good use of battery power. But THAT is exactly what it needs to function as a video telephone device. It HAS to have some partial presence always running just like your own home telephone. And that applies to ANY device designed to do that. If you take your telephone off the hook, you can't get a phone call that way either!
So if you have your home computer running and Skype isn't on and you then are peeved you have to make a real phone call, whose fault is that? If you want people to reach you through Skype, leave it running in the background at all times. But don't log off. Don't go out to eat. You see you have to be near a phone to answer it and you have to be near a Skype device to answer it also. Of course if you have Skype on your iPhone you could leave it running these days (wasn't even possible before multi-tasking was allowed on iOS devices).
I would think an obvious answer to video chatting is that the device at home should be on something that is always available. Something like a next generation AppleTV (especially one imbedded in a smart tv with a web cam built-in) would be a good platform for home phone calls in addition to the mobile and desktop options. I've seen cable boxes show caller ID calls overlaid onto the screen; this should be extended to answering video calls as well at some point. I mean, after all, Back To The Future II promised me large screen teleconferencing as a normal thing in 2015 and we're almost there (of course it also promised flying cars and Jaws 19 in a holographic theater and I don't see either of those happening ANY time soon. Sadly, the real 2015 won't be THAT different from 1985 save mobile computing devices and more powerful gaming systems and home computers. Cars more or less look the same. Buildings look the same. Heck we haven't even been to the moon since 1972 unless you believe those alien conspiracy people.

My main Skype usage has always been the chat with a little bit of calling, but the new UI just sends me into a complete rage - generally I am a pretty chilled out kind of guy.
There is real opportunity here... I can't believe that its technologically that difficult to write the software, and if the software and service is good then the funding would follow. Indi developers have been providing text and video conference software for more than a decade.
